Buddy and Peggy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Buddy and Peggy
Age: One and a half years old
Gender: Male, Female
Kind: Tabby
Home: Germany
 
   These are Buddy (red) and Peggy (brown). They are brother and sister and we found them on a farm in the South of Germany in October when they were a few weeks old and people told us they were too small to survive the cold winter in Germany. So we took them home. They are absolutely adorable. At first we thought that they like to cuddle because they were babies, but even now with 1 1/2 years of age - although they go out to chase mice and whatever they find - they still love to cuddle and greet each other with their noses if one is home already and the other one comes home later.

    Particularly the tom cat Buddy is indeed an affectionate little buddy. Sometimes they visit us in our bed at night when they get home from their nocturnal stroll to cuddle up with us and get warm. Then they purr so loudly that we wake up...

    Peggy often brings her mice home and loves to chase them around in our living room which I do not like so much, especially because sometimes she looses and forgets about them and I have to catch them instead. But we can never be cross with her for a long time because she is just too sweet.

    Both of them love to eat yoghurt, Buddy likes only plain yoghurt and Peggy also likes strawberry yoghurt. When Buddy comes home, he jumps up the cat tower and meows loudly until he gets his pinch of catnip. It is so funny to watch him roll his head in what looks like five and a half crumbs of catnip which to our human nose do not smell of anything. But he loves it. All in all they are both our little sweethearts and we cannot imagine being without them.
