Animals of the House

The current non-human residents (pets) here at casa la cucu.

Simba, here is what's called an "Apple-Head Siamese." He is probably not pure Siamese, but other than the white on his paws, he has twins (in photographs) that are pureblooded Siamese. This cat is huge!! He scares the delivery people who don't want to believe he is actually a domesticated cat. Laying on the bed, when he purrs the entire bed shakes! He's also lazy, and stays in the back yard better than our Chihuahua! I don't know too many cats that love the outdoors like he does. Chi-Chi, of course, is a chihuahua. He was the runt of the litter - now he rules the house ("He is not spoiled, he just has us well trained.") I guess somebody shook up the genetic shaker when it came to his colorations... Here's Coda, the Black Bear Hampster. He's supposed to be bred to be very gentle and not bite. My son takes care of him, so I have not tempted fate!! A later entry: I must report that Coda has passed on. He was the longest-lived of the small pets we've had. I have turned the 'lookeyes' picture of Simba into my wallpaper using the full sized picture. Of course, more pictures will go up as I think I have some that might be interesting. I'll probably include squirrels, too...
