The Gratuitous Post About My Cats

Sep. 14, 2011 by Keiko Zoll

Look, I know you think your cats are the cutest. And, while I’m sure they’re adorable and charming, they really just can’t compete with our cats.

First, let me introduce you to the each of our little furballs of adorableness. Grab a bucket, because I’m about to melt your heart.

This is Saba:

Our Cat Saba
He's named after the Japanese word for mackerel sushi (a white bellied fish).

And this handsome fellow is Toro:

Our Cat Toro
Named for fatty tuna, a delicious deep red fish.

Yes. We named our cats after sushi.

And now, I’ll just let the evidence speak for itself to prove that our cats are indeed, the cutest ever.

Can you find the kitty?

    Yay kitties! We have three (yes, borderline crazy over here) but there is nothing like coming home from work and having a kitty climb on your chest to purr. Nothing like it!

    Very cute kitties indeed! Almost as cute as mine. *wink*
    The names are great. One of our kitties (a red one too) is named Rusty, he squeaks like a rusty door. His half-sister was named after an Egyptian feline goddess when we got her, but now she is named after a cow.
    Kitty kisses and head-bonks.

    You have some cuties, my dear. I know the feeling; I’m so very partial to my sweet Abysinnian beauty, Ms. Casbah, aka Ms Cassie Wassie. Right now she’s curled up in my bed and snoring up a storm!

    I love cats! Wish I could have some here but husband is allergic. Hmmm…put husband on allergy meds and get a cat sounds like a win situation for me. LOL

    Sushi is a cool name category for cats 🙂 And they are beautiful. I have to admit, they are far more beautiful than my cat at the moment, she is 15 and not looking so good 🙁

    I love the picture of them trying to nap together. I don’t know very many cats that love on each other but that’s awesome. I enjoyed all of the pictures and they are beautiful cats.

    Aaaaah! they are adorable!!
    Don’t worry about their names being after sushi. We named our dogs after hot drinks. Coffee and Milo. 🙂
