A couple of mid-summer birthdays on November Hill

 Violet and Isobel came to us as kittens with birthdays in late July and early August, and this year they turned 3! They are the youngest of the kit-meows here and bring a lot of energy to this house full of cats. 

Isobel is a very loving cat, but she remains slightly skittish, which is how she was as a tiny kitten. It’s almost impossible to pick her up, and if someone she doesn’t know comes in, she will run and hide, but she is quite a loving girl to her cat family here. She adores Pippin and is often found hanging out with him. She remains close to Violet - while they aren’t sisters, they clearly were kept together at the shelter and became friends early on. We think she may have some “munchkin” genetics, as her body structure looks a bit like that kind of cat. Her legs are short and she is a little fluff-budget. She’s a fierce huntress and in spite of not being able to roam the farm, she manages to catch prey in the back yard and even on the front porch.

Violet is a total sweetheart. She’s also quite an outlier as the other cats other than Isobel often pick on her. She hangs out with the dogs and actually responds more like a dog than a cat at times. She is fearless and persistent and out of all the cats, Violet is the one who must be fed separately because she will go full force at any bowl of food she can get to. 

Both these girls bring much joy to our home and we’re so glad they’re with us. Happy birthday, Violet and Isobel! We love you both!
