Hamlet & Ophelia

Our breath smells like cat food

About Me




We are brother and sister cats (Hamlet being the tuxedo and Ophelia the orange Tabby) born St. Patrick's Day 2004 on the streets of Jersey City with two other siblings. Our Mom, Priscilla is a Tortishell and our Dad has to be orange since Ophelia is an orange girl (orange girls are pretty rare in the kitty world cause of genetics). Our brother Cookie is a tuxedo and our sister Cupcake a calico (originally we were named Creampuff, now Ophelia and Candy, now Hamlet).
Soon after our birth we were off the streets and all being taken care of by a rescue group before our human slave saw our picture and profile on petfinder.com and adopted us. The lady that rescued us saw our (Hamlet & Ophelia's) close bond from the beginning and made sure we stayed together, in fact, we were the last two to ween from our Momma's teats.
If you check out our pictures you'll notice we can't get enough of each other. We're totally in a co-dependent relationship. We love to clean each other, cuddle and sleep together, wrestle, chase each other around the apartment and hide from the occasional deliveryman. We hate deliverymen.
We're looking to meet some other cool cats as we're not allowed outside. We especially want to meet other brother sister teams like ourselves and orange ladies, but all kitties are welcome.
Mierowwwwwws and purrrrrrrrs,
Hamlet & Ophelia

My Interests

eating, sleeping, pooping, licking our poopers and making funny faces afterwards, stretching, yawning, purring, chasing each other around, sprinting from one end of the apt. to the other, sleeping on soft things, sleeping in doorways, perching in the window, sleeping on the window sill, wrestling, play fighting, scratching the carpet when the human isn't watching, licking catnip, playing with things that are not meant to be cat toys (bottle caps, pens, plastic straws, plastic silverware), torturing and eating bugs, grooming ourselves and each other, cuddling, getting petted, having our pink bellies rubbed, being adorable, rubbing our cheecks and teeth against anything tactile, getting brushed, kneading on pillows or blankets, staring, sniffing stuff

Hamlet - flinging litter across the room, grunting, staring intensely at people for a really long time, sleeping with the human and not letting her change positions, headbutting the human when she wakes up to get her to pet me (it always works), laying on the human's chakras when she's meditating (i'm a healer kitty!)

Ophelia - licking the human's feet, toes, legs and hands, chilling out in the bathroom sink, meowing with my mouth closed, hacking up hairballs and sometimes eating them, stretching my back legs one at a time in mid-stride, staring at candle flames

We HATE: having our nails clipped (Hamlet hyperventilates), going to the vet, having our ears cleaned, ear drops, change, deliverymen, the damn costumes our human puts on us

I'd like to meet:

Other cats for play and hijinks (we're both fixed so no hanky-panky).
Since we're scared of new people and have never met any other animals we'll only accept friend requests from other CATS unless we know you through our human Lisa.

Music:

Billy Corgan, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Nick Drake, Fahey, Neil Young, Jackson C. Frank (most ALL folk), Tom Petty, Van Moorison, classical, new age, meditation

Movies:

We're scared of loud movies like the horror ones our human loves to watch, but we'll watch just about any other movie she puts on.

Television:

We like to stand on, or near (see below) the TV, but that whine it makes when the human starts it up sometimes startles us.

Books:

Any book we can knock off a table.

Heroes:

We're our own heroes. We're a co-dependent team who follow our own rules.
