Moosie & Lalo

Moosie and Lalo adopted us about a year ago after a trip our family made to Pet Friends. We’d stopped by the animal rescue center not expecting to take home a new pet, much less two of the furry creatures. We had decided, on a whim, to spend an afternoon playing with the cats at the center only because we desperately missed our own Rael, who died unexpectedly. You see, we are cat lovers and we’ve always had one or two or four of them around to keep us company and to not have one roaming around the house just didn’t feel right.
I think we were all somewhat hesitant that day because none of us knew if we were ready to give a piece of our heart to another pet. It didn’t take long, however, for my husband and two teenage sons to decide we just had to take the pair home. Lalo, the charmer, easily won over my guys with his antics and playfulness. None of us could resist those big brown eyes that just begged us to stay a bit longer and play with him.
And then there was Moosie. She is just the opposite, shy and somewhat mistrusting. My son caught her watching us from a distance, almost hidden from view. What got his attention was her fur. She has, by far, the softest fur we’ve ever felt.  
The pair came home with us that day and the rest is history. When these two aren’t chasing each other around the house, they can often be found lounging together, without a care, usually on one of our beds. It’s amazing how perfectly content they are. 
Oh, to be either one of them!
