Cucumber

Melon and Cucumber are a couple of chill kitties who just love living and playing together. Like many of the world’s successful twosomes (think Lennon and McCartney, mac 'n’ cheese, peanut butter and jelly) their personalities couldn’t be further apart but they dovetail like two pieces of a jigsaw. Cucumber has a stunning sweater of soft white fur with accessory stripes down his back and tail and he loves to flop over and show you his belly. He's a gentle soul, a baby at heart, with a little squeaky meow that will tug at your heart strings. Cheekily chunky, with an adorable, innocent little face and the cutest black toe beans peeking out of his white paws. He spends about half his time playing with his brother and toys and the other half peacefully napping and cuddling. <br/><br/>Melon, a classic tabby with big beautiful gold eyes, is on the other hand fearless---he's as cool as, well, a cucumber, slender and quick on his feet, a joyful gymnast, and a born explorer scouring every corner with little paws that are often otherwise busy making biscuits. His athletic abilities are impressive, and he never, ever skips playtime. Just when you think his energy is endless, though, he turns into a snuggly guy with the sweetest purr you ever heard!<br/><br/>And their common kitty traits? Melon and Cucumber adore being with their human family and will follow you from room to room, curling up by your feet and taking turns in your lap. They love mouse toys, ribbon wands, the scratching post, laser pointers, and pretty much anything else including chasing and wrestling with each other. Even a rolled-up receipt tossed in their direction is fair game, with them carrying and batting it around. If you like the idea of double the fun, Melon and Cucumber are ready to roll! These boys were born May 17, 2025 <br/><br/>If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Cucumber & Melon, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com.
