Darwin And Finch
 Extra ToesDarwin and Finch acquired us in May, 1997 when they were ten weeks old. They were two brothers from a litter of seven, born in a field. Darwin is a mutant and has opposable thumbs. When we first brought them home, each was small enough to stand in the palm of my hand. |
A cat the size of a beaver? Believe it!Eight years later, these cats are so big that when we take them to the vet, they have to be weighed in the dog scale. |
BrothersDarwin and Finch have entirely different personalities. Darwin is so gentle he once sat still while Sarah counted to a hundred on his head with a toy hammer. Finch is the rascal. Every night he prowls the neighborhood while Darwin looks on from the window. And if Sarah gets too rough, he'll give her a little swat (though he is careful to keep his claws retracted). |
