Peanut & Buzz Share a Basket

What I enjoy most about keeping this blog is that I can post about really, really local subjects like pets, kids, gardens and all the smaller things in life that make us all smile. Recently, WCA member Cardi O'Connor sent me these photos of her cats Peanut (Birman/Siamese Mix) and Buzz (Flame Point Siamese Mix). Buzz was rescued by fellow WCA members Trish & Gianrobert Wootton. He was found with his mother, brothers and sister in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. The Woottons took the whole gang in and found homes for 3 of the kittens (they kept the mother and one of the other boys). Buzz went to live with his new sister, Peanut, at the O'Connor/Ottavi residence. Peanut (aka Violet) is small for her size, while Buzz has just continued to grow and grow. By his first birthday in December he was 2x the size of his new housemate!! They both like to sleep in a small basket on the table. But sometimes, because of Buzz's size, the basket gets very full. So they then have to abandon it for the couch where Buzz can finally stretch out. I thought these photos were really cute and you might enjoy them too!!
