Our Cats

Our two cats, Jasper and Pachie, came to live with us about a year and a half ago. They were 5 years old at the time and very cosmopolitan...they were born in San Diego and then lived in Lima, Peru, for a year.

They are Ragdoll cats - bred for their people-friendliness - and looks. The breeders had moved to Boquete with 5 cats and found that they needed to downsize a bit. These were the youngest and healthiest and we became their home.

They are very easy going except when they want something -- attention, to show you a bug or critter that they have cornered, or their food dish is empty. They like to be with us....if we are downstairs, they are downstairs. If we are upstairs, they are upstairs. On days when we go between the two floors frequently, they get a lot of exercise.

They do not go outside. Pachie took a leap from our upstairs terraza and scared us all to death. Plus the hummingbird owns the upstairs terraza.

Even with their long fur, they are not difficult to keep groomed...which is a plus. This doesn't mean that they don't get fur EVERYWHERE but they stay looking nice. We use a lot of lint removers!

They are most enjoyable companions and we are glad they came to live with us. They have their own web album for you to see.
