Cats of my Life

After years of feeding stray cats, I finally adopted two Siamese cats. 

I found out I was allergic to cats so I had to go back to strays!  This really wild street cat decided I was worthy of his attention.  I ended up calling him Pinky because I had a Chinese girlfriend that said he was pink.  Well his nose was pink but clearly he was orange.

Pinky liked to be indoors when it was cold but did a lot of prowling at night so I made him a “home” outside which he used.  Anyway, I am allergic to cats so having him indoors too much was not a good idea.

Pinky had a partner in crime which I called Midnight.
