Pet of the Month - July 2012 - Mica and Jake


Mica (10 years old) and Jake (5 years old) Young are Jenny Young’s “furbabies”.   This is how she describes them:

I had Mica 5yrs before I even considered getting another kitty. Jake was being fostered and both of his siblings had been adopted and I felt so bad that he was left alone. I debated back and forth on whether to bring a new kitty home because I was so concerned on how Mica would react....being the only spoiled kitty for 5 yrs. After much debate I brought Jakey home and it was the best thing I ever did for Mica and for myself. They are the best of friends. Mica has always been able to entertain himself with his toys....the boy LOVES his crinkle balls but Jakey keeps him a lot more active with chasing each other around the house, and wrestling. So now I have TWO spoiled kitties.

I have always loved cats and I can't imagine not having these two in my life. I love being greeted by them every time I walk through the door, I, for the most part, love being woken up by them in the morning and just having them there on the good and bad days....they can always sense when you're having a good/bad day. No matter how bad of a day I've had....just looking at them makes me smile and warms my heart.

They each have their little quirks....don't we all. Mica likes being picked up, having his head rubbed and playing with his "crinkle balls". He is not a lap kitty at all and is definitely the alpha kitty. Jakey is definitely my lap kitty. The minute I sit down or lay down, he has to be right on my lap. I can get up out of the chair ten times and each time he will get back up in my lap the minute I sit down. He LOVES having his belly rubbed and playing with his little furry toy balls.
