Adventures of Sugar and Spice: Episode 1

Thank God for my adorable cats, they bring so much comic relief...as I was getting ready to leave for the nursing home to get my father settled this morning (a stressful and incredibly long process to say the least...), my girls had some entertainment for me in the form of...

The Battle over the Carpet Strip

The battle begins at the top of the couch, were a carpet strip has been brought...both opponenets view the prize as worthy and decide they want to take the prize for themselves...

...the battle continues as a full on tug-of-war breaks out between our medium weight and fly
weight opponents...little Spice holds her own with the strength of her razor sharp claws...

...not to be outdone, Sugar uses her brute strength to bring the fight, and the strip, to the bottom of the couch... were the battle continues...

...the fearless opponents assess each other, wondering if the other is ready to give up the fight...alas the opponents are both still equally determined...to win the carpet strip....

...the fly-weight Spice is forced to the ground...yet she hangs on with a Champions-determination...
...but despite Spices' determination, Sugar makes the final play for the carpet strip, pulling it back onto the couch....
...and Sugar is victorious!!!
She sits with her prize at her feet...proudly.

...and poor Spice looks on as her opponent enjoys the spoils...

A few hours later the opponents realize they are more alike than different and decide...
to snuggle : )

THE END

Our beautiful girls

I adore our cats, they are like my children. They have their own unique personalities and they are so affectionate and loving. I seriously can not picture my life without them! Fred and I adopted Sugar and Spice in November of 2007 when they were 5 months old. They are sisters.

Sugar is the chubby, affectionate, trouble-maker. She loves to eat and can be persuaded to come anywhere if food is involved. She is also the one that loves jumping on top of furniture and knocking things off. She sleeps right between Fred and I at night and loves to roll on her back and have her fat belly rubbed. She likes other people and usually comes to company for some lovin'.
This photo is of Sugar in one of her favorite spots, under the dining room table.

Spice is the sensitive one with the loudest purr !! You can hear her purring a room away. She generally likes to be held, but will only cuddle on her own terms. She loves to run and play with her toys and can usually be found (as in these pics) perched near a window. Spice is a mamma's girl and does not really care for company- most people don't believe we have two cats because Spice always runs and hides!
