Personalities

For years, my children have been teasing me that "my cat" is stupid. They're not trying to be mean ... Lucky really is "special" in ways we are not entirely proud of. He's the one in the center of the above picture -- and I have to admit that his blank stare is quite characteristic. He doesn't catch on quickly, he seems bewildered more often than not, and he's a bit slow, both mentally and physically.

Mack, on the left, looks to me as if he's saying, "What do you want NOW? I'm busy."

And Reggie, on the right, always seems to be posing. He knows he's good looking. See how he's flirting with you?

A minute later, Mack is back to observing the out-of-doors, Lucky is wondering what it was he was thinking of doing a second ago, and Reggie is checking out the spot on Lucky's back that regularly gets rumpled when Reg gets frisky. Ahem.
