In our house, "Family Days" are known as when we take the cats to the vet for check-ups or vaccinations. Today we had our last "Family Day" just the four of us. Vladi and I can't wait to take Alexander on our next "Family Day" this fall.
Here are the cats on their very first visit. They were just a few pounds. So small and innocent.
Here is the last visit on April 25. Maccabi weighs 17.8 pounds and Haifa weighs 12.2 pounds.
Haifa is very lady like, petite, shy, caring, has a baby elephant toy named Ella the Elephant that s
he carries everywhere, loves to lay in her Daddy's size 15 shoes, and is a Daddy's Girl. She also has a pretend friend that she plays with. Maccabi will be asleep and we will watch Haifa run around like she is being chased. Then she hides and peeks around the corner. When she sees that Vladi and I are watching she acts embarassed and walks like it was not her. She gives us that look alot, "It wasn't me Mommy and Daddy. I'm innocent." She also makes a cute little sound. Neither one of them meows like other cats. At Christmas, I put gummy snowflakes on the patio window. Haifa must have loved them because she was soooo upset when I took them down. She made the funniest sounds. She sounded like we had broken her heart. So I put 4 back up on the window. Apparently, she likes to try to get them down to eat, so we have them high because she can't reach. She eats anything. When I came into the room one day, she was on the floor staring at Maccabi who was on the cat furniture reaching his very long body up to the window to reach a snowflake. Well he reached it and dropped it down to her. She took it and ran off while he layed down on the cat furniture. I had to chase her to get it. I couldn't believe that she had him get it down for her. They have such human characteristics.
Maccabi is a Momma's boy (now I call him Mommy's Feline Boy) and protects his Mommy (future blog). He is very strong and everyone says he looks like a panther. The vet can't believe how big he is. She says he is one of the biggest cats she has seen that is not fat. Maccabi scared the maintenance man, Mark, recently. Mark was working in our bathroom an
d didn't see Maccabi when he came into our apartment. He was kneeling on the floor and turned to get a tool. When he turned around a second later, Maccabi was sitting on the toilet looking down at him. Mark said he was scared to death. Good thing Maccabi is sweet. haha When Maccabi lays down and spreads his legs out, he is the length of an average 2 year old.
