Harry and Chester

Meet Harry and Chester. They live with Ellen.

“Harry (the orange boy getting his face licked) is an alumnus of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter. I adopted him in 2004 when he was about a year old. He generally submits to Chester, who is the top cat. Harry's a cuddler. He favors stretching out on my chest and burrowing into my neck, and he never says “no” to a belly rub. Chester is the boss as far as Harry's concerned. He was the runt of his litter, with a twisted leg that prevented him from walking on it. I thought it would be permanent when I adopted him as a kitten, but several weeks later he stood up and strutted around like the top cat that he is. He's 9 years old now and likes to sleep with me on my pillow and sit on my lap and get scratches under his chin.”
