Kitten Meet Feather

So the kittens got a new toy this weekend and well....  just watch.

Kitten Games: Kick the Living Daylights Out of Each Other

This is a game where you grasp your opponent with your front paws and wrestle them into a horizontal position on the carpet. Once both of you are lying on your sides and grasping, the hind legs are brought into play, firmly and repeatedly kicking extremely hard into your opponent’s belly, or face if you can reach it.

Chloe rarely wins this game, because Charlie has the size advantage that lets him grip her body tighter and kick her harder.  She doesn’t let that bother her, however, as she has invented a new rule entirely of her own: Smaller players may bite the noses of larger players.  Thus, Charlie will Kick the Living Daylights out of her, and she will get sweet revenge by playing her own independent game of Bite Your Stupid Nose Off. She almost always wins this part of the game.

Sometimes, positions will be reversed so that the cats are playing in a top-to-tail formation, and each one is capable of kicking the other in the face.  Chloe then gets her revenge by playing her own game of Bit Your Stupid Privates off.  Charlie still usually wins these, but not without some pain.

What is a Permese and How Do I Get One?

So I bet you are thinking to yourself, "I've never heard of a Permese cat?  Did she make that up?"  My answer is kinda.

 Let me propose another question... what happens when you take a full blooded Siamese female cat and a full blooded Persian male cat?

Answer:  You get a mix between a Siamese and Persian cat, or a Permese.  These cats are known for there distinctive, exotic looks, friendly personalities and calm dispositions. The cross between a Siamese and Persian results in a cat with Siamese coloration but longer hair and Persian facial features.

Now the second question, how do you get a Permese?  So you can go to the store, go online or check the paper for Siamese/Persian mix.  Bring them home and love them, but the reality is, cats choose you. I have learned over the years of owning cats that they consider me the pet and treat as one.  

At the beginning of the year my sweet, albeit crazy, cat Cham died.  After a few months I began to think about getting another cat.  I picked up two Permese kittens from a lady in town, took them home, and wondered what might happen next. Once more, the house was filled with cat smells, cat humor, cat sarcasm. And cat games.

My two kittens are siblings and they look and act like it.  Charlie is a big boy.  He is scatterbrained, food-obsessed, and slightly crazy.  Chloe is the typical little bratty sister.  She is small, but the brains of this kitten operation.  Despite her size she can hold her own in play fights with Charlie. After a healthy session of playful feline ultra-violence  the two of them will snuggle down together for a cuddly nap.
