Pugrish

Here we have the most gentle boy - Pugrish. His name comes from a video game (Shadow of Mordor - a Lord of the Rings game) and was one of the Orc's names that both my husband and I loved the name of (pronounced Poo-Grish, not Pug-Grish). He is a brown stripey short haired cat who randomly showed up one day already at least a year or two, or even three old (most likely I'd say he was 3). He was my lap kitty! The only kitty that ever did what he would do. He was meow at me until I bent down to form a ledge with my legs and he would then climb up onto my lap and lay across my legs purring and cooing and giving me the most lovingest love eyes, ever!

Pugrish also absolutely loves the cat bed I made specially for him 
(the colours look great with his colouring!) 

Below, I think I may have woken him hah

Yup, that look definitely says "You've disturbed my slumber..." haha

And just look at his strong nose! So cute! 😍

Below he can be seen awaiting entrance to the house with Mr. Kitty, sitting on my husband's grandma's lift (I'm actually super thankful for that thing, whereas before they would simply sit on the tiny brick ledge of the window and trust me, there isn't much there! Boy, did I worry!)

I honestly have yet to meet a cuddle-bug like this guy. He is my sweet, sweet boy, with his soft, dapple grey/slightly brown black stripey fur and his greenish-yellow eyes! He gets along with every other cat, he doesn't have a mean or dominating bone in his body! He loves to clean Chappie (we'll meet him in our next kitty post!) and his elder surrogate brother Mr. Kitty. He has the biggest heart! ❤

Miss Kitty

Where to begin. It's been a very, very long time since I've written/typed that name - it could never be so long that I would forget it, and no matter the length, it will always hurt. As you've gather, she is no longer with us, but this blog is not meant to make you sad, therefore, from now on I will forgo mentioning which of these fine chaps are gone or still with us and just present each of them and their adorable personalities in the present to make you (and me) smile!

And so, here is my beautiful girl,

And here are some pictures of her from when she was a kitten 😍

In the photo above you can see her left eye is a bit glassy. The vet said it was something that happened to her around when she was born, but it never seemed to impede anything she did, thankfully!

In the one below she found a dish outside that was turned onto its side and butted up against the deck wall ... seems like the perfect place for a cat nap!! 😆

In the photo above you can see her nose really well. I have yet to come across another kitty with such a similar nose. Her nose is very orange, rather than pink, and is outlined so well with her dark brown markings, it's really interesting!

She's a beautiful girl who loves being outside but never strays from the property of her own volition. One of her favourite places is to hunt and sleep in the garden alongside me when I am working in there - I love the company!

Miss Kitty loves taking care of other cats. She isn't a mother herself (we get all our rescues spayed or neutered) but has a younger brother from another litter (Mr. Kitty) who she enjoys caring for and showing/teaching the ropes. She's taught him to sleep on the back of the big comfy recliner, something which Mr. Kitty still does to this day - it's actually quite comical to see his face when my husband's grandma reclines the chair not realizing he's up there 😌😹 but not to worry, he always manages to stay on just fine and goes right back to his cat nap!

She loves attention and loves to give attention to humans and other cats alike. She is the best kitty! I love her with all my heart. ❤❤❤

It is only fitting that she should be the first, though she technically isn't the first cat I rescued, she is, however, the first cat I rescued here in the country where I have lived for over 10 years. My next post will be about the first cat I ever rescued when I was about 11 years old - Persian!
