Pepper and Ginger (Tabby)

Pepper and Ginger are 1 year old tabbys. We got the two kittens when my husband had a brain bleed last October. My daughter thought it would help him in his recovery since it has been found that having pets reduces stress thus the blood pressure is lowered. We previously had a cat that lived for 16 years and he missed her a lot. This time we decided to get two together and I am so glad we did.

Pepper (nicknamed Lumpy) is a character and loves to play with crinkle balls and the cat toys with the feathers on the end. You never know what you will wake up with in the morning since she loves bringing them to the bed in the middle of the night. She also plays tag with my husband. She chases behind him and when he turns she runs and hides and this goes on and on.

Ginger is her favorite to attack and they chase each other through the house. Ginger is the quiet, sweet kitten but she can get rowdy chasing crinkle balls as well or protecting herself from Pepper's sneak attacks, LOL. From the moment my husband came home from the hospital and met Ginger, she adopted him. She stays with him and loves being with him. It was as if she knew he needed help and she has appointed herself as his guardian cat.

For cats, they have this crazy thing about water, they love it. Ginger can be found sleeping in the bathtub and loves to drink out of the faucet of the tub. They know when our car comes in the driveway if my husband has been out and they greet him at the storm door standing up looking out and meowing at him. They have given us a lot of pleasure this difficult year. They are so much fun to have around.
