Three of my Favourite 'People'






Bro, Moet and Maybe





I don't care if I look uncomfortable - this is my laundry basket and you can't lie on it.





Companionship - they are getting closer and closer. The orange part of Maybe's ticking is growing back right now, so her patches look orange.

haha look at Maybe hanging out in the sling, what a cutie!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Maybe loves that sling, even though she's growing out of it!

What is it about cats and there ability to sleep in the most awkward/oddest of places despite the fact that they don't actually look that comfortable? :)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I know right? Although Moet managed to convey that it wasn't comfortable but dammit he still wasn't gonna move. Lol.

I just love the way cats put the tip of the tail over their faces.

Hey, they are lovely photos of your bro and cats :-)

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Moet's was never long enough to wrap around his face (or even his front paws), but Maybe's is! It's awesome. :)

[tigerweave.livejournal.com]

heh, didn't realise some cats can't do it. I thought it was just a matter of curling up small enough. But maybe we just had cats with longer tails.

I gotta ask, why the names Moet and Maybe? Have been curious since I heard their names.

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Moet is a cream tabby, which is also known in Australia (more than anywhere else) as a 'champagne' tabby (it's the dilute version of a ginger or red coat, just like grey is the dilute version of black). And Moet Chandon is a brand of champagne. I actually didn't name him, my Mum did, but it stuck. It's pronounced - 'Moh-ee'

Maybe... was because we never knew if we were going to get her. She wasn't the rescue cat we wanted. And we originally visited the foster carer to see another kitten who was just... not right for us. We saw her, but didn't know if we'd be allowed to get her (she'd been up for adoption for weeks and weeks). Her name, at the time, was Lady.

We decided, she didn't really fit the name Lady, and when we referred to her it was constantly 'well if she calls us back maybe we'll get her' and there was a lot of 'will we / won't we,' and a lot of 'we may get her / we may not.' I also think Maybe sounds like a feminine name.

And in addition, her life has been a lot of maybes. She was found with her two sisters in rural bushland, struggling for survival and very thin. They didn't know if she'd live. And then, she was literally saved from euthanasia 20 minutes before she (and her sisters) were scheduled to be put down, for not being 'interesting looking' enough, despite the very unusual lynx-tufts on their ears (a very limited number of purebreed domestic cats have this; only three really, and in one it's a disqualifier). And then she was listed on PetRescue, and I kept seeing her, but I was looking for something else, and everyone ignored her for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. And then we did see her (by total chance/coincidence) and like her, but we just didn't know, and yeah...

And then she needed life-saving surgery not so long ago (which is why she has all the patches), and even that was a 'maybe she'll pull through, maybe she won't.'

Maybe is a cat who has had a life of maybes. She's been through an awful lot in her short eight months.

Moet:
I have had the song 'Killer Queen' in my head on and off for weeks, and only just connected it to your writing and piccies of Moet lol!
'She keeps a Moet Chandone in a pretty cabinet/let them eat cake she said, just like Marie Antoinette'

But in the song Freddie pronounces it as "Mo-aye" so that is how I have been reading it :-)
I do like that name for him. He is a very handsome pussycat :-)

And yes about Maybe being unusual-looking. And doesn't she have markings round her eye like black eyeliner? We had a cat called Khepri who was a grey version of Maybe, who had the ear tufts and the black eyeliner. But his nose was, as the vet cried in delight 'true terracota' *grins* We got him from the RSPCA, and I always wondered what his ancestry was. He was a stunning young man, I tell you. And an awesome awesome personality *smiles*
Maybe reminds me of Khepri in looks. He was also long in his body, and long legged and long-tailed. Not big, but long. Even as an adult.

Wow, she had indeed been through a lot in her young life. Awesome for her she has such a fantastic home and mum and dad :-)

those are great!

Thanks. :)

In the first picture with Moet down at the end of the table I initially thought he was lying on a blanket. Then I realized, no, clean laundry *of course*. Who would expect a cat to be anywhere else? Maybe also looks very comfortable, like something out of a nature documentary with a leopard casually hanging off a branch. I also really like the "reverse stripe effect of where her fur is growing in. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Ah yeah, it's gotten to the point with the clean laundry that I always put something on top of my clothing that it's okay to get fur on.

Maybe has started the unfortunate habit of gnawing on her sling!!! But she's growing out of it, slowly, so I'm not too fussed.

[kehleyr.livejournal.com]

Aww cuties :-D!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

They really are. :)

Maybe in the hammock-y thing is cute, but not as cute as Maybe and Moet curled up next to each other!

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

I love it when they curl up next to each other for more than thirty seconds! Often it ends with fighting and Moet running away.

[ariestess]

*nods* I feel the same way when my booties decide they're gonna co-habitate nicely. Like when Stasia allows either of the younger 2 cats near her without going into hissing/spitting fits...

[sidheblessed.livejournal.com]

Aww, Moet and Maybe!

[mermaiden.livejournal.com]

The last one keeeeeeeeeeeeeeelled me!!! Oh my goodness, you have such a good eye, Pia. :) You take the happiest pictures of them~ <3

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

Aw thank you! I love my kitties.
