Story
Deja is an American shorthair brown tabby just about three years old. I got deja and her brother Boogie from one of my friends who could not take care of them anymore. For the past 2 years they've been good but for the past 6 months they've been aggressive towards my other cats and vet intervention hasn't improved this behavior. Deja is nervous of new women and is territorial towards other cats. She loves string, playing with water, and watching the ice machine. She also enjoys bird tv, is very talkative, and like to go on walks when harnessed. I think a new home for her would be best without other cats or with very few and lots of room. I think she would be happy with or without her brother with her. Never interacted with dogs or kids.

Story
Boogie and his sister Deja are ex outside cats I got from a friend who could no longer take care of them. I am having to rehome them as they have decided they hate my original cats and vet visits have not fixed the issue. Boogie is an almost three year old American shorthair brown tabby, on his right eye he has a beauty mark. Recently he has been diagnosed with a stage two heart murmur, it does not affect him in any way but it could some day. Like his sister he loves to play and run and string and chase. He is very talkative for a cat, likes to ride on shoulders, drink from the sink, watch the shower run, lick and knead pillows and blankets, and lick fingers. He hides when strangers visit but growls at passing cars or people on walks, but has never attacked anyone and I don't think he would. Like his sister he is territorial and would be best in a home with no other cats or very few with plenty of space to have his own.
