i have a mini long-haired doxie and a plump tortoiseshell kitty !! they're both my furry babies and i love them to bits.
the kitty (trixie) is 10 and is still the first cat i've ever owned, and what they tell you about tortie cats having "tortitude" is very, very accurate. she's affectionate but only when she wants to be and hates getting picked up. we found her as a kitten without a home and she just hopped in my mom's car and we decided to bring her home (we looked around for missing cat signs, and waited quit a while before settling on keeping her.) we lost her for about ten days when she got out of the house years ago and i can still remember waking up to my parents placing her on my chest when i woke up from a nap. ofc i cried like a baby because my best friend was home, but she's never left my side since.
as for the pupper (scooter), he's 9 and we've had him since he was 7. he was a rescue and originally was very anxious and nervous but he's calmed down a ton considerably since we adopted him! he was given up by two past owners and rest assured he's in his permanent home. he's like every small dog we've ever owned in that he thinks he's terrifyingly bigger than he is, but he's a lapdog in every meaning of the word.
