Two more of our pets

These are our beautiful boys; they look like a perfect pair to me.
Snowbell (Snowy) - he's the long-haired one - was left behind by neighbours when they moved away, as he was too wild for them to catch. We took a long time to tame him and now he calls our place home. He can still be a bit stand-offish outside the house and finds some people harder to trust than others, but he is quite loving and we haven't seen a nasty side to him at all; a little too playful with his claws at times, but not nasty.
Lucky Boy is Jarrod's cat. He picked him up outside church one evening just after Lucky Boy and his wee sister had run across the road following a man and narrowly avoided being hit by a car. The man decided to take the girl kitten and we couldn't leave the boy there, so we took him home thinking we would find him a new home. Well, we didn't. Snowbell had lived with many cats and kittens in his old home, and he took on the role of 'Uncle'. Lucky has had a few health problems; I don't think he has a very good immune system. We really enjoy watching the two of them playfight together on the lounge floor, or groom each other and fall asleep side by side. Despite both being neutered, they are a little territorial at times, and fight other cats that come onto our property. They, of course, are allowed to wander wheresoever they will! Including the neighbour's home to raid her cats food dishes!
