People and Their Pets: Niki and Ninja

Posted 11:12 AM, July 27, 2007, by jaruiz

Niki and Ninja were found at the end of my parent's long driveway in Minneapolis, Minnesota, when I happened to be home for a friend's wedding. They and their brother (Kilo), sister (Kiki), and mother (Belle) were abandoned and starving. The little guys couldn't even walk, and their mother was as thin as a rail. We grabbed them all up and fed them cans of tuna and bowls of milk. Only moments after beginning to wolf down the food, they shook themselves off and started to stumble and chase us! My brother adopted the two kittens Kilo and Kiki, and a friend of the family welcomed momma cat, Belle, while little Niki and Ninja flew home to California with me. Niki has grown big and lion-like, trying to fit himself into every new cardboard box coming into the house, earning him the nickname "meatloaf." Ninja, on the other hand, is tiny and defies physics at every turn--she regularly exceeds the speed of light and makes right angles in mid-air, racing up her favorite cat tree. Ninja suits her perfectly.

How could you only select one pic? I have 100 adorable ones that I took. I can't imagine how many you must have. OF course, this one is adorable as well!
