Meet Rufus!

Hi Everyone!

I'm picking up with my Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals week with a special manicure I did.  Last Fall I had to have my sweet boy Baxter put to sleep at 12 years of age.  He had become very sick what appeared to be cancer.  We could have put him through a slew of tests but the doctor felt most likely he wouldn't respond to any treatment.  I was devastated.  This happened to us just one month after the death of my father.  Baxter was my sweet boy--my boyfriend cat, so I really did not know how I would go on.  A little while before Baxter joined his brother, Sam, over the rainbow bridge we had gotten a little boy kitten for him.  An orange boy we named Roscoe.  For years we had always had 2 boy cats--brothers, and now Roscoe was alone.  I didn't think about it too long before deciding we need Roscoe to have a friend.  When we went to look at Roscoe we had also seen this stunning cat that appeared Siamese.  He wasn't as friendly as Roscoe so that day Roscoe went home with us.  Now a couple months later we were back to pick up Rufus.

At first he was SO scared to be away from the farm.  All he did for days and days and days and days and days was hide under the bed.  I would often say "he's never going to come out from under there"  In time Roscoe lured him out and the two of them became great pals and played together.  It wasn't long before Rufus warmed up to us and he became a very sweet loving boy!  And he's SO handsome!

This is him the very first day we brought him home
I'm told he is what's called a snow shoe Siamese.  Look at his little white mustache!! 

This is how he loves to lay on the couch!

He sprawls out on that baby

Sometimes he sits on the end though, looking handsome

Isn't he gorgeous?!

I wanted to do a mani that looked like him

How'd I do???

Cute little Rufus on my fingertips!

I'm glad I decided to get a 'brother' for Roscoe.  Rufus has been a wonderful addition to our family.  He snuggles with me on the couch and sleeps with me every night.
