Store Cats

Because you asked!

We have three store cats. Two older cats and one brand new arrival.

KnickKnack
She is our eldest at 13 years of age. She is a brown tabby with fine this stripes and the most stunning bright green eyes. She loves to be picked up and cuddles, especially if you are a guy. She likes kids too if they are not too rough, but will scratch if they torment her or pull her tail. He full name is KnockKnack-Pattywack-Give-a-cat-a-Spanking. She was that kind of cat that liked it. Now though she is growing old. She suffers both hyperthyroidism and siezures. She is on meds and special food. There some periods where we were seriously worried for her life, but now things have balanced out and she is doing quite well. She is mellow, but alert.

Tequilla
He is our BIG FAT brown tabby boy with a white muzzle and white paws. He is just a little younger KnickKnack (11 or 12). He was brought to the store when it moved from 1954 to 1928 St-Catherine West. On that moving day during the after move party, he fell asleep in a box where the tequilla bottle had been. Thus he is named Tequilla! He is shy of hands when you try to pet him, but loves to butt and rub heads. He is whiny and complaintive when you pet and cuddle him... but it is all a facade, for you can hear him purring just the same.

Little-Kitty
Yes... that is his name, poor thing. He is our newest arrival. And... he was named by the owner's 4-yr-old daughter. He was a stray they had adopted, but one of their cats just didn't tolerate the new guy. He is now a year old and has joined the store family. He now wears a harness and bell so we can hear him moving about. He started out very timid but is growing bolder. He is extremely affectionate. Today he was feeling bold enough to wander the main store area while clients were about. I am sure he will become quite a regular and be well loved by all! Little-Kitty looks almost identical to KnickKnack, easy to mix them up, but he does not have her stunning green eyes.

Feline Dynamics
On the whole, the cats are getting along remarkably fine. Though the new guy is more energetic and wants to play. He is fast discovering that his elders are not particularly keen on this notion. They don't want to play with him. At least they are not mean to him and vice versa.
