Costello Guards the Orchid

He looks all-knowing ...

Yes, he holds all the secrets and mysteries of the universe. Thank You.

Gorgeous, I love cats!

Thanks Shirlwhirl. He's a real funny cat but sometimes a real ham. I named him for the comedian "Abbott and Costello."

Great name! We have a cat now from the local Animal Shelter. We brought her home last May and she has settled in just as if she had always lived with us & she is gorgeous. At 14 years old she is a marvel, playful & acting nothing like her advanced years! She is black with some white on her face & under her portly "jelly belly"!!!

....and her name is Willow, which is what she came with.

I am so glad we decided to take her.

That's a great story. She came with "Willow"? Do you mean a "Willow Tree?" 14 years is amazing. She could have another 10 years in her. She's obviously in a safe and loving home. Maybe you can post a picture of her. She sounds like a happy cat.

Costello never experienced life outside of a cage before I got him. When I brought him home, he popped out of his box like a Jack-in-the-box and started running all over the house in every room. He'd roll over and want me to rub his tummy. Then he would jump around the house in obvious glee, making me laugh so much. That's when I said.."Your name is Costello."

That is a lovely story too.
He must have felt totally liberated! How can people keep animals caged up - dreadful!

Ha Ha!! No she came from the shelter with the name 'Willow' Bathgate! I phrased that wrongly didn't I?!
I might have posted a photo of her - I can't remember, I must have a look and if not, I will put one on soon.

Just looked through my photos.
I did put a couple on earlier, but I have posted 3 new ones now.

Thanks Shirlwhirl, I'll take a look through your gallery. I enjoyed are little chat.
