Since their parents are nicknamed Cookie and Frosty, we figured
we'd better name these babies after cookies. So, they are:
- "Snickerdoodle," a brown mackerel
tabby and white female.
- "Oreo", a brown classic tabby and white
female.
- "Double Stuff," a brown classic tabby and
white male who is quite a bit larger than his sisters.
Here are all three kittens at
twelve weeks of age. From left to right, they are Snickerdoodle, Oreo and Double
Stuff.

This is Double Stuff
(affectionately known as "Stuffie"). He's a brown classic tabby and white
male, friendly and affectionate. He purrs almost constantly, and plays
almost nonstop -- with anything that moves, and many things that don't
move. He loves to nibble toes, which forces us to wear shoes or slippers
when we're around him. Despite being such an active little boy, he does
love a good purring snuggle, though he knows better than to try to take
someone's lap away from one of his sisters! Stuffie,
now called Pinecoon's Rangerly Keegan, lives in Idaho with his sister
Snickerdoodle (a.k.a Pinecoon's Juniper Acadia). |

Oreo is a brown classic tabby
and white female, very quiet and gentle. She isn't as rowdy as her two
siblings, and will often stay out of the way as Snickerdoodle and
Stuffie tussle wildly, pounce on each other from behind, and generally
misbehave. Oreo prefers to sit quietly in someone's lap, purring
contentedly and getting extra attention while everyone else is busy
playing. She is initially cautious about strangers and loud noises,
but doesn't take long to come out and investigate. Once she does, she
usually ends up purring happily in the nearest lap. Oreo is now
called Holly, and lives happily in Seattle. |

Snickerdoodle is a brown mackerel tabby
and white female. She is a real tomboy and keeps up with her rowdy
brother, pounce for pounce. In fact, she often gets the upper hand (paw?)
since she is quicker and, apparently smarter than he is (or maybe she just
cares more -- Stuffie is very laid-back about things.) Doodle, as
our daughter Katie calls her, is very outgoing and affectionate, and purrs
almost constantly. She wants to be in the middle of everything, and works
very hard at being thoroughly in the way.
Doodle, now called "Cady" (short
for Pinecoon's Juniper Acadia), lives in Idaho with her brother.
