Hobo & Tramp

Hobo & Tramp
It's time that I introduce our two Tom cats that adopted Pat and I last August, such a funny story.

First kitty (light colored one) showed up at our place, hungry, lonely, and pitiful to be honest with you. We were still living in the RV outside the house at the time. Not knowing anything about this cat, where it came from, who owned it, etc. etc., we tried to ignore him in hopes he would just go back where he came from. Well, that didn't happen, for at least 2 weeks the little rascal hung around especially at night meowing it's head off. I could only take so much, (I love kitties) I started feeding him, fixed a bed under the RV, and named him, "Hobo". Then about a month later Hobo brings his buddy (or his brother) around ... another Tom cat, we've named him "Tramp", (dark colored one) both names are appropriate don't ya think?


Now we have two Tom cats who've adopted us and captured our hearts (Pat won't admit it, but he loves them). We've fed them, housed them (in cat houses outside on the deck) and loved on them all winter. I'm so attached to these guys, if they don't come around for a few days I'm in a panic. LOL

Here's the cat house (double decker) that Pat made..we lined with blankets to make cozy beds. 
Hobo...so happy and warm...just a little spoiled, eh?
Hobo stayed in bed ALL Winter, Tramp was off during the day playing.
Hobo saying, "hmmm should I come out and get some sun or go back to bed?)
Now that it's Spring...they do take off for days at a time, their routine I suppose. They hang out at this old dilapidated cabin above our place and mouse. When we go on our walks we make a point to check on them and visit. They come running to us when we call out their names...so sweet.

Up for a snack!
Hobo is always peeking in the windows to see what I'm doing and starring at Luigi (my bird) that's why the kitties can't come in the house.  ;)
For some reason (who knows what's going on in their little heads) they're both up here this week on the deck every night snoozing. I check on them many times before the lights go off, they seem so content.  They're great company, good mousers, and full of personality... I'm glad they found us, must be for a reason.

When you take in the homeless...you really give them the royal treatment! Your story made me smile.

Awww, I'm so glad that they found you and didn't give up on you even though you tried to ignore them for two entire weeks. They do look as if they're living the good life out there on the porch. (My cat was a feral cat, too. I'm always amazed that she became such a good housecat.)

We have a female cat that adopted us too when she was a very small kitten. She sleeps on our deck too and I feed her every day. Her name is Kitty. We have an inside cat (Misty)already who has been our pet for 6 years and I wasn't sure they would get along, hence the reason "Kitty" is outside.

I love the beds that you made for Hobo and Tramp. I also like their names. :0)

They look very happy and healthy and obviously love being there or they wouldn't come back! I would have done the same...there's a very soft place in my heart for cats.

Oh I love it. What a wonderful cat house. No wonder they chose you.

I would also be wanting them on my knee indoors!
