The Story of Mooch & Spartacus

Mooch Once upon a time, there was a cat named Mooch.  He was very happy with the two people he lived with.  They loved him best in the world.

Mooch had a great life with his people and always enjoyed being their only cat. There were 4 hands ready at any time to give him a pat, scritch or snuggle.  Mooch was the happiest cat around.

Then one day, a little beast showed up. What was this little thing doing here and why did Mooch's people let it stay? The beast's name was Spartacus.

Was it possible that Mooch's people loved Spartacus best in the world now? Paul and Spartacus

How could they love him so much?

And he kept eating Mooch's snacks!  But that wasn't worst of all.  Spartacus would hide and attack Mooch when he least expected it.  spartyhiding
Mooch thought, "Good thing he is little.  One good kick and he's across the room."

Yes, it was true.  Mooch didn't like him much, but Spartacus was kind of cute.  And, sometimes, it was nice not to be alone during the days.  Maybe they could share the snacks and napping places.  It was clear that Mooch's people were not going to take the beast away, so he would have to make the best of it.

Slowly, Mooch got to know the new beast. After a while, Spartacus and Mooch learned to share their people and even got to love each other like brothers.
