Ava &Tanzie

Well I had just got over my other cat dying and was looking for a new cat.

My neighbor doesn't like black cats so she was gonna kill these 2 adorable black and white kittens if I didn't take them. I couldn't resist. So began my life with Ava and Tanzie.

They were the most adorable things I have ever had the pleasure to own. Ava was spunky and carefree. She loved to play with my shoe strings and she slept with me at night. Tanzie was more reserved and well behaved. Tanzie would sometimes play with Ava just to annoy her. They both loved to sleep in our ripped arm chair right in the stuffing.

We lost Ava first. She ran away the day my baby brother came home from the hospital and I cried for a week afterwards. I still had Tanzie and she did her best to fill the empty space in my heart. She ran away next. Whether it was because she missed her sister or she hated me I don't know but those two adventurous little kittens will forever be in my heart and I will always remember them.
