My two cats :)
Since I've been tantalizing you with several photos of Phalaenopsis with only parts of one of my cats, I have to show you what he looks like. Of course I can't show pictures of him without showing his sister as well.
There names are Priscilla and Pirelli, but I call them Prillan and Pelle.
They're my darlings and if I had to choose between them and my orchids, the flowers would have to go.
Prillan is laying in my lap as I'm writing this message.
They're always involved in everything that happens in my flat. When I check the Phals for spikes P&P are also looking (probably in case I miss something). When I try to take photos of the flowers, P&P cuddle with said flowers and when I repot, they assist me as only they can.
They're unusually nice to my Phals (no eating, playing with or knocking over) and mostly seem to view them as obstacles on their (the cats') windowsills.

They are so adorable. It reminds me of the Egyptian pharaos and their statues of the cats in the tombs

Awwwwww, they're beyond adorable!!! That last photo has got to be one of the absolute cutest cat pics I've seen. The first shot is hilarious, just a tangle of legs and heads. Wonder how they could be comfortable like that.
What breed are they? Their ears are larger than average, and they look so handsome like that! Eygyptian cats, like Bud says.

Thank you. I'll tell them you find them adorable, I bet they'll like it.
They're a Siamese and an Oriental short hair, very talkative and social cats. The check patterned basket is on top of my desk so they're usually laying there (when they don't try to squeeze into my lap both of them) when I'm in front of the computer and there's usually legs and paws all over the place.

Oh my - they are beautiful, and such sweeties!
My kitty Jack, also likes to always help with the plants, and just about everything else as well!
Thanks so much for sharing them with us!

*snorts*
A little too much orchids there, Phal grower?
Of course I have to share them, it's a must. Cats are very helpful in general I think, even though what they consider being help might not always be the case according to us humans.

I sometimes have a one track mind. As for our pets I think they help us in ways that we humans can't begin to understand.

You are absolutely right. Without my cats and without my flowers, I think I would be rather unhappy.
They are quite the characters these two (like all pets are), as soon as I open a cupboard I've at least one cat inside it, if I grab a blanket, both of them will run towards the couch since the love to cuddle with me under the blanket, wherever I go, they'll trail behind. They're very attached to me (especially Pelle, he's a real momma's boy ) and they are so sweet that I can do practically whatever I wish with them.
No, I'm not obsessed with my cats! What gave you that idea?

It's so nice to have such a close relationship with pets! One of my mother's cats is also a bit of a momma's girl, and follows her around everywhere, even when my mother goes for a walk. But she can be a nasty kitty sometimes, catch her when she's in one of her daily bad mood moments and she turns into a screeching, hissing scary furball. I think I like your cats better!
