Samantha meets the Tux twins (gerbils)

[Vermontcat]

I have been meaning to post these photos of Samantha meeting her new kid sisters but didn't have enough free time until now.

Samantha was quite curious about meeting Chocolate in her bubble ball.



After creeping in cautiously she decided to sit and watch for a while.



More photos coming right up!

Then she looked like a deer caught in the headlights when it started rolling towards her.

Then she went in for a closer look again.

Then she decided to watch from a safer location.


Later that day, she sits in the kitchen watching something. What could it be?

It would be Brownie, the other gerbil rolling around in the birdseed under the birdcage!

That's all the photos!

That is so cute. Samantha is a great looking girl.

I hope that she didn't deciede to bat the ball around.

Great pictures, Thanks.

Awww, Samantha!
We know you weren't *skerd* you were just being a nice older sister to your new twin sibs!
Chocolate & Brownie - love the names!!!

Love the pics. Samantha is beautiful as always.

Something about the phrase "Chocolate in her bubble ball" just cracked me up.

Look at that pudge under her belly! I love pudgies lol!

She is a really beautiful cat, and of course the gerbies are sooo cute too!

Ohhhhhh this is a mixed up kitty

Don't you think the gerbils are better off in their ball though?

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Oh Samantha, I just wish I could reach through the monitor and give you a big snuggle! You are such a beautiful cuddly girl!

You look so cute sitting watching Chololate in the Bubble Ball!

I have always wondered how the found Cats would react to gerbils , or other small animals. the ones that I would be concerned with , would be michael , Nugget and The Princess , who are experienced hunters. The others who be OK.

I was waiting for just this picture, Bryan.

Samantha you are so adorable checking out your new sisters. Love the "caught in the headlights" pic! "Oh no, it's coming to get me!"

Tubby says if you ever want to get away from them for awhile, you're always welcome at his place. He has a nice spot available in his little bed for you - right next to him of course.

You got me AGAIN!


While I think Samantha is one adorable feline, I just can't help but be sad she doesn't have one of her own to befriend...

Samantha ,You are such a beauty! A very good kittie too.
Sunny would have been swatting that ball around! He would have tried to get the little gerbil out.
Chocolate is a cutie in its little bubble ball!

I can just imagine the look of surprise when the bubble ball rolled towards her!

She's a beautiful cat. Thanks for the pics

Whacha got there, Samantha?? A new toy? When my mama puts the mice in the toy, we gotta stay outta the room.....she says we ain't suppose to use the ball for soccer practice! We don't know why not, though.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.
Samantha is 15 years old remember so she is very good with the gerbils and our parakeet too.
She used to catch mice outside in her younger days but hasn't caught one in years.
She is kind of like a grandma to the little critters, which is good because she is not good with other cats. She likes to be the only cat in the house.

Cataholic, I had you in mind when I made up the title. I knew I could get you again.
