Meet Our New Kittens!

Hi, I'm Bisquick....

Well, really my name is

Neo Mikey Bisquick, the Comet Kitty

I was born some time in November 1999

Hi, My name is Muffin Mimi Belle

Tony and Crystal adopted us both at the Champaign County Humane Society February 18, 2000 to keep Phoebe (and them) company. They've all been kind of lonely since Azrael crossed the rainbow bridge, you know, and we distract them from their sadness. They were pretty sure they wanted to adopt a little boy, because they figured that Phoebe would maybe adjust more easily to him, but people said that two kittens would be better than one. Well, they showed up at the shelter and there were only a few babies and they were all boys. Next to the cage where little Neo (they called him Isaac) was, there was Muffin (they called her Mudskipper -- not very feminine, huh?) and Tony fell in love with her. She reminded him of Azrael's sister Mumar. Muffin, although only about 11 months old had recently had a litter of kittens herself (not a very good role model for teenage girls, we have to admit!) and the volunteers all raved about what a good mommy she was. Well, as soon as Tony and Crystal brought the Muffin and Neo Bisquick together in the visiting room, Muffin proved what a good mommy she is by walking straight up to him and grooming him. It was clear to everybody that we were a great pair from the start! We love each other, sleep together, groom each other and play together all the time. Phoebe doesn't like us yet, but there's hope. She will at least stay in the same room with us now.
