Who Are We?
Welcome to our Home. We are Lucy and Ethel - a sibling pair of
tortoiseshell cats who adopted our friend and caregiver, Mary, in late 1995. We had spent
6 weeks at the Animal Shelter before that and boy, were we happy to find such a lovely big
house. (Not to mention the fact that Mary is such a pushover - we've got her firmly
wrapped around our tails, paws, claws and whiskers - and she doesn't seem to mind one
bit!) All Ethel had to do was lick her fingers when she came by our tiny apartment and she
was a GONER!!! We knew it the moment she came in the room.

Our Hobbies and Interests
Among the things we like to do are
- Chase anything that moves (including Mary's toes under the bed covers)
- Eat whenever we like (Lucy is the self-appointed taste tester for all of Mary's
meals)
- Sleep whenever we like (Ethel has a soft spot for Mary's lap - now that's a real soft
spot!)
- Catch mice and birds, when we can sneak outside or off our harnesses (Lucy has 2 dead
birds, numerous mouths full of feathers from the ones that got away, and 2 live mice to
her credit - Mary insists on a "Catch and Release" program whenever possible.
Ethel prefers to maim grasshoppers and chase flying insects, which sometimes chase her
back!)
