A-Ko takes her name from the very cute, highly destructive Japanese
schoolgirl/superhero in the animated movie, Project A-Ko. Being a
typical girl cat, she came to our house and took it by storm. The
two elderly gentleman cats who lived here at the time never had a chance.
A-Ko is a good mouser, much to her Mom's dismay. At present she on a diet, and
requests that anyone who's listening send food.
Phineas Fogg* is the newest feline member of our family. He loves the other cats and the dog,
he's very affectionate, and he has a purr big enough for a cat twice his size. If Kiki is on your shoulder when you pick up Phineas, she will whisper "Gimme a kiss?" to him over and over, hoping (we think) for a chance to bite him. Because of his coloring and his large size (over 8 pounds at 6 months of age), we think Phineas has a Maine Coon Cat somewhere in his family tree.
* Yes, I know the explorer's name was Phileas. Unfortunately, it seems that very few other people know that. I got tired of people laughing and making fun when I told them I was thinking of naming our kitten Phileas, and decided to call him Phineas instead. People know that name, and I figure he can be Phileas's cousin. ;D
