Meet Rocky & Moose

Hi, I'm Rocky, a 5 month old Maine Coon Mix tabby cat who was rescued from the Sacramento California Animal Control facility a couple of weeks ago, along with my brother Moose.


We look a lot alike, except that Moose has a big M on his forehead and he is bigger than I am (but not as fast or as curious). That's him behind me in the photo.


Sacramento Animal Control people were very nice to us and made sure that we were healthy and ready for adoption. I wasn't too keen on all those shots they gave us, but like any little kids, they were necessary. The worst part was getting my wee wee whacked. Ouch, that REALLY hurt. Neuter was what they called it. I'd like to neuter the guys that did it. Oh, well, what's done is done.


The first few days in our new home were lots of fun. We got to meet Fang our 12 year old roommate. Fang is pretty dull but an okay guy. He sure can stink up the litter box though; he really poops big! Thankfully he goes outside most of the time. He growled at us a few times, but didn't bite or scratch us. Fang told us he didn't have a home and was living under the back deck until Mom said it was okay to move in. He told me that his two older sisters passed away this year and it was very sad. He is glad that we are here. We make mom laugh a lot.

We met our other brother, Jeff. He is really big and looks like mom. He brought us this toy to play with: the red-dot creature (mom says it's a laser toy) I just think it is wicked cool. Yesterday, I spotted red dot on the hallway wall and I jumped almost up to the picture thingy’s, almost 4 feet high! But I still couldn’t catch it. Then it ran back and forth in the hall, up the walls, and in circles. I ran as fast as I could and made fast turns, but that darn thing is just too fast for me. Moose gets pushy sometimes, and trips me while I’m in chase mode then tries to catch it himself. He runs around in circles until he gets dizzy. He’s pretty fast, but not as fast as I am. I can’t figure out why mom is laughing so hard. When she laughs, the red-dot creature jumps around even more. One of these days I will catch it. I bet it will taste like cinnamon candy (whatever that is).

I will write more about our adventures soon......




Your new friend, Rocky
