Eagles Wings

Our cats seem to sense when someone is coming home and always give us a "heads up" when someone comes to the door at least a few minutes before we hear the knock or door bell. Our black cat, Smoky is especially good at this, I think he has alot of Siamese in him as he "talks" quite a bit, his body type, and his general personality. He also has alot of trouble with most commercial cat food and usually throws up most of it which makes for alot of clean up. But it doesn't seem to hurt him any, as his coat is soft/shiny and he is very active.

We adopted our other cat, Bandit after our dear old soul cat, Boots passed away last year...Bandit has an entirely different body type, more like a British shorthair

She has a stocky body and huge paws...she weighs a normal 10 lbs but looks heavier because of her long coat...actually Smoky and the Bandit weigh about the same....I wouldn't say they were best buddies but do get along. Bandit has a diva complex and has to be top cat most of the time...for a while, Smoky objected but they've come to an understanding of sorts.
