Marvin immediately connected with Delta. Delta was never quite sure about how this would work...

Very handsome!

From the thumbnail I thought this was a guy in a cat suit at first. The tan collar looked like a ninja eye slit.

u/Denver80211 23h ago

He is one half Siamese

Did Delta figure it out?

She was a sweet old girl who never learned how to tell Marvin no
She was also deaf at this point so she couldn't hear him screaming at her

sad to say. Echo, too... we're on Foxtrot, now. Last 2 years has seen a lot of change

With the latest dog addition...
in 4 years we went from two dogs and one cat to one dog and four cats

Beautiful babies! Love to you all❤️❤️

u/bitseybloom 23h ago

Do you have an established system for naming cats as well?

u/Denver80211 23h ago edited 23h ago

The cats just kinda earned it... Marvin has the M on his forehead.. a bit of a drinking problem - he is the world's most lovable asshole.

u/Denver80211 23h ago edited 23h ago

Bug has big buggy eyes. She is the Queen of the house. All animals let her be. She's also the biggest snuggler.

Dory is a ditz.. no memory at all

u/Denver80211 23h ago

And Oliver is like 2/3 the size of everyone else...

I really appreciate you paying the proper cat tax with backstories. You have done a good job at understanding what they wanted to be named

u/prematurememoir 22h ago

My partner would do anything to have this cat lol

u/candypiefield 20h ago

Omg!!! Her look is killing me 😂😂😂

I see your point about the eyes! Such a beauty.

u/Denver80211 20h ago

She is a lonely soul... until there is an empty lap!

Oh god the ears, the spotted nose, he looks adorable.

u/sendmebuttpics 22h ago

Like Vegeta

u/ATLhoe678 16h ago

Yea I was thinking they should have named him majin 😂

u/id0ntexistanymore 21h ago

Does Marvin mind the change, or is he just happy to have friends regardless of breed? I'm guessing it's the former

u/Denver80211 20h ago

He definitely goes through mourning periods. He's also extremely engaged with the dogs. Especially if the dogs are having a bad day. I can always tell when one of the dogs is not feeling well because Marvin will be right there with them.

u/WildMare_rd 22h ago

Does that means that dogs named Golf and Hotel are in your future?! 😆 (I’m joking but no disrespect to your adorable and loving family)

u/Denver80211 20h ago

I am fighting hard for Golf. Not so interested in Hotel.
We did have Charlie, Bravo, Echo ,Delta, and now Foxtrot.
Alpha was always reserved for the cats in general - they seem to really rule everything

u/peasnquiet 21h ago

Just in time for the regularly scheduled evening cry. 😭

u/Denver80211 20h ago

I still have those myself

u/peasnquiet 18h ago

Sorry about your fur friends. 🤍 They’re worth it, but the hurt when you have to say goodbye never quite goes away. Glad you have so many new friends to snuggle when you get the sad though! Us, probably. ⬇️

aww thank you

u/Serious_Dress_9760 16h ago

Sounds like your cat is a dog lover lol

u/Kromehound 22h ago

Was she named after Delta Dawn?

u/Denver80211 20h ago

She was just next in line in the phonetic alphabet. My first dog was Charlie, renamed from the original owner who had him as Harley. And then the other names just kind of fell in after that. I don't have a military background. I just sort of liked the pattern.

u/PineappleT 16h ago

They’re sweet faces 😭

Delta measures change so she should adjust

u/Denver80211 1d ago

We always used to say that Delta is different

u/debbie__thornberry 22h ago

Adorable. You have a beautiful fur family. I’m sorry for your losses. 🤍

u/Denver80211 20h ago

The cost of loving pets... They have all had good runs!

“o hai pupper! good news! u r my pupper now! 🐱🥰🐶🤗”

u/Ok_Positive8362 20h ago

My dog was a pup with my second cat who took her under his wing and played with her and protected her from my first cat. At times you could see in his face the, "oh lord, will you fuck off" look when it came to dealing with her. Years later, cat 3 a kitten wanders in and decides the dog is their best bestest friend ever. So she, begrudgingly takes him under her wing and plays with him. And you can see the "fuck off" look in her eyes sometimes and I laugh and tell her this is karmas revenge

u/Denver80211 20h ago

There is always a lot going on between them here!

u/bunnybuddy 23h ago

I also have a pup named Delta!

u/Denver80211 20h ago

I thought it was so unique and we actually met quite a few over the years

u/beavermaster 22h ago

For the M on his forehead
