Black Jack and Shamu - the Barn Cats

Hi, I'm Black Jack, formerly known as Jack Black.  However, you say it, just don't call me late for breakfast or dinner.  I came to live with Peggy and Joe when my other owner couldn't keep me anymore.  I don't particularly care for other cats so I was always getting in a fight.  Peggy and Joe said I could come to their house if I would stay out at the barn. 

First day I arrive, I gave every one of those dogs a good smack to make sure they knew who was boss.  As a result, they like to still chase me, but they never catch me and if you want to know the truth, they are definitely afraid of me - good.  That was the plan. 

There's another barn cat, named Shamu - what a stupid name for a cat.  Anyway, I don't really like her all that much and regularly let her know that I should be the only cat at the barn. 

Hi, I'm Shamu and my daddy gave me that name because I am a beautiful black and white cat, just like the whale I was named after.  I am what they call a feral cat - I didn't really ever have a home.  I showed up at a neighbor's home one day and I didn't really like any of their cats.  I told them to leave but they wouldn't.  Instead, the family asked Peggy if I could come and live at their house.  Of course, she said Yes.  At that time there was another black cat that lived there - he was a feral like me, named Tommy.  He was very sweet and kind.  After he died, this other black cat showed up - Black Jack - and boy is he mean!  Every time I try and eat my breakfast or dinner he chases me into the woods.  Sometimes I let him catch me and then we have a real howling time!  He's never hurt me though - I'm tough.

I'd show you a picture of myself - but my mom doesn't even have one!  Guess we will have to work on that.  Just so you can get an idea, here's one of my cousins that looks a lot like me.
