Presenting the tabby boys on Caturday
Toffee is the cream tabby and Meowzer is the grey tabby - both turned up at my place as adult unneutered tomcats and I neutered and gave them a home. It seems like they were both victims of dumping, both obviously grew up inside homes but were not neutered and suddenly appeared on the hill and attempted to survive there by catching rats and birds and coming into my house to steal my cats food.
Toffee was part of a group of three that were living there before I moved in, unfortunately, the other two died before I could catch them. I finally caught him in June 2016 and Meowzer turned up at the end of August in 2017. Toffee is mischievous and playful and is very much an alpha male who did a lot of fighting whilst living outside but Meowzer is a little timid. Toffee enjoys tormenting him but they are slowly making friends. They both follow me around wherever I go and then end up in close proximity to each other and their interactions are quite entertaining:
This is Meowzer doing his is he going to pounce on me? look
Here, we have the He's chewing his toenails again! look of distaste.
Beautiful photos! And beautiful cats! More people like you. It's cruel to keep cats and then throw them out on the street! Like a boring toy.
I love all animals.
I attach a photo of one of my cats. I think you will not mind :-)
You are right, I don't mind. Your cat is beautiful! Is she deaf? I know many white cats are born deaf although it is most common in the blue-eyed white cats
Thank you! The fact that white cats with blue eyes are often deaf is a myth! In the photo this is my cat NineLives Rostik - he does not have any problems with hearing. He participates in the show, so every time he is examined. My NineLives Rostik has the title of European Champion! I have three more white cats: one with blue eyes, the second with eyes like her son in the photo, the third with orange - none of them have any problems with hearing! And children are born also with excellent hearing.
Why do these rumors go? - because white cats always check the hearing, and cats have a different color - no! In fact, deaf white cats are the most by 1%!
I have been breeding Persian cats for many years, so I studied this topic, since I started breeding with a white cat. If you're curious, here's my cat website:

They’re soooooo adorable. You’re a saint for taking them in.
All cats just know that I am a sucker
I hear ya. But it’s still the highest and noblest of things to care for other living beings.
It's so much easier to care for cats than many other living beings ;)
No argument here!
Awe. They are both looking very good, probably due to a timely rescue and a regular diet. They don’t much look like killers anymore. 🐓🐓
You don't even want to imagine what they may have been through. Glad you gave them a good home.
Thats so funny, he really does look super irritated at Toffee chewing his toenails. Its really nice how they chose you and you took them in. I always think that animals are a really good judge of character in regard to people. They are gorgeous.
Thank you!
It's great how you rescued them, and so special how they love you and follow you.
They look like they are brothers in the making.
I like their markings. Do they hunt and play on the vacant block still?
Oh yes! Toffee mainly hunts for fun but Meowzer brings rats and birds home in the middle of the night and eats them in my bed. So nice to wake up to crunching sounds or corpses in bed!
yep that's disgusting. That's why you need a delicate girl, my little girl brings it to the door and calls me with weird ritualistic calls to show me her catch and then eats it outside.
I do have others that eat elsewhere. This one has to do it in my bed
How did you catch them?
Toffee was getting so hungry and desperate that he was coming into the house more frequently. One day he came inside while I was feeding my cats and I closed the door behind him. It took a little while for him to tame up, he'd been living outside for about 9 months by then
Meowzer, I just started feeding him and he became tame immediately. He had only been running around for about 6 weeks by then
Interesting. When you were feeding your cats and Toffee started to come inside to eat as well, your cats didn't mind it?
They were not pleased. They were scared of him though, because he was such a big, bad tomcat. Tomcats have their own sets of pheromones that are intimidating to other cats
Both of them are really cute. Indeed I love the cats too. Here is our cat in my home
Even I maded it portrait in oil paint style with photoshop :)
Beautiful cat!
Thanks :) It is perfect for huging because its fur is so soft :)
They are adorable and look so happy, that is so nice :)
