Nigel is a rescued 2-yearish old neutered male Russian-blue Domestic that I adopted as a kitten from my Veterinarian office. He is constantly in trouble, sometimes aided and abetted by his partner-in-crime Rowdy.

Distinctive Nigel habits:
**HAS HIS OWN FAN CLUB.
* demands to be the center of attention at all times. Usually when I am using the bathroom facilities where he tries to look into the commode, while I am on it.
* must be physically removed from any project I attempt to do which includes sitting in front of a TV screen or knocking over computer speakers.
* has a foot fetish and ingratiates himself to any visitor (except Audra).
* bats at my bootie thru my clear shower curtain during showers.
* drinks my bathwater, the bubblier the better.
* starts to drool when he gets to purring hard.
* has a very cold nose.
* is the reason all of my fragile things are up on shelves or packed away.
* just wants to be friends with the rats and lounges on top of the cages just out of the reach of stretching rattie paws.

Rowdy is a 1 year old black domestic short-hair that I adopted after he was rescued by a fellow Rat Lover and bottle-raised. She tricked me, he's not really a cat. He's a dog masquerading as one. I should of been suspicious when she told me his name was Rowdy, which he doesn't listen to. So he has THAT particular cat trait going for him.

Distinctive Rowdy habits:
* Growls at strangers outside, especially Church solicitors. Not all his habits are bad!
* Plays fetch with his spider toy BUT only to me if:
- I am on the computer and then he drops it directly behind my chair where I can't reach it
- OR when I am in bed where he drops it juuusst out of my reach.
* drinks as loudly and as much water as a Labrador.
* chews on and hides shoes.
* urinates as loud and long as a Labrador.
* weighs almost as much as a Labrador puppy - no, I am not kidding.
* the highest he can jump is approx 3 feet, and even then he's pushing the limit.
* loves to play in running water.
* tries to play with rats (and prairie dogs). Surprisingly he hasn't been bit yet.
* gets the choicest napping spots by laying on top of the other cats and squishing them until they move. Which is about five seconds.

in the process of fetching

another piccadillo - he will only fetch to bed

The Toy spider you see Nigel and Rowdy playing with has been replaced numerous times because they eviscerate and then skin it until there is nothing left but legs and a bell.
It's made by Hartz and is called Great Balls of Fur. It comes in this color and red.
I highly recommend this toy. I rotate my cats' toys and this is consistently their favorite. Rowdy plays fetch with it.
