Cosmo was was rescued as a stray at five weeks old through a volunteer at Feline Rescue. Agent was inherited from Alie’s boyfriend at the time as she was urinating everywhere. She’s never peed anywhere but in her litter box since Alie has taken care of her.

Alie writes:

Cosmo is probably the most dog-like of the two. He charms guests by playing fetch with a toy mouse and won’t let you stop.

A couple of years ago, he escaped from my garden level apartment and probably had a wonderful five-day adventure hunkering under a broken-down car in the parking lot before he fell for the tuna bait in my live trap. Cosmo also likes to sit on the toilet tank and watch me dry my hair and yowls at me from the edge of the tub when I’m in the shower, as if to say “HEY! Don’t you know you’re getting wet in there!”

Agent 34 likes to greet me when I get home by flopping on her back and showing me her belly, begging to give it a pat. She also really likes to eat people food. She waits while I eat cereal for me to set down the bowl so she can have the leftover milk. She eschews the water dish and prefers to drink out of the toilet. At night, she jumps into bed with me and “tucks” me in by kneading the covers around me.

Alie is working on her MBA from Metropolitan State University, blogs, and enjoys “boring people to death” about her cats.
