Submitted this to Cute Overload for Mr Bristow:
Quantum was about 8 weeks old when this was taken (she’s now nearly four years old) and her tail stump was still bare. (Short version of the cat story: Owner drives over kitten tail, tail has to be amputated, owner doesn’t want kitten sans tail, friend in veterinarian office saves kitten and gives her to us as a housewarming cat). The requirements for cat #2 (Tangle) were "orange, with a tail." He turned up in an abandoned litter in a barn, found by the same veterinarian.
Cat naming note:
Cat #1 is called Quantum. Cat #2 is called Tangle Mint (Tangle for short). Quantum entanglement is what happens when they curl up together. This is why you shouldn’t let the physics grad name the animals.

Quantum entanglement – I love it! And I never understand people who have to have “perfect pets” – shame on them! But good for you!
What kind of sick person…okay, no, not going there, but thank goodness this lovely specimen of felinity found itself a decent family to live with. Amazing that the poor thing could trust humans after that. Sigh.
sometimes people just leave me speechless! She looks a bit of a cutie (even sans tail!)
Wonderful kitty names!
Anyone who could be immune to THAT much cuteness clearly should never own a kitty anyway. *sigh*
I love hearing about your cats. They are so cute!
