Actually, they’re more like anniversarys but we celebrate their birthdays on the days they came to us. We got Nicky (on the left) from the Humane Society when she was 18 months old. Teddy was rescued off the street. We think he was about a year old then. Nicky will celebrate her 12th anniversary on May 22 and Teddy will celebrate his 12th on June 2.

They’ve lived together for all these years and still do not get along. There’s usually a cat fight a couple of times a week. I had never seen them this close to each other and couldn’t believe my eyes. I was so glad my camera was at hand.
