Meet Eggo and Leggo, affectionately referred to as The Waffles!
They have been named after an American breakfast meals and the advertising and marketing marketing campaign it was well-known for: Eggo frozen waffles. You see the likeness, proper?
They are candy, humorous, and adaptable Kotor Kitties*, from Montenegro. We are terribly fortunate {that a} collection of mishaps and misadventures introduced them to our household in Seattle this summer time!
They instantly charmed our grumpy resident cats, Bugsy Malone, and Killer Ted, then slowly labored their method into the guts of my husband, Mike, who stubbornly resisted so long as potential.
We have solely a imprecise thought of their early lives. Kotor Kitties volunteers Caren and Kenric discovered Leggo just a few blocks from Stari Grad (Old Town) Kotor, with a badly broken eye. They have been on the way in which to the vet with a gnarly Tom Cat in a service, in order that they popped the little kitten in with him for the rest of the stroll. Fortunately Grey Boy was charmed by her!
Kotor Kitties’ companion vet, Dr. Relja Cetkovic, decided the attention wanted to be eliminated. We assume it was destroyed by the herpes virus that runs rampant in kittens within the space. She was spayed on the identical time her eye was eliminated and given an “ear tip” to show she was a very a sterilized “Kotor Kitty.”
. 
Little Eggo turned up exterior Caren and Kenric’s residence in Stari Grad across the identical time. She too was spayed and given a tiny ear tip. The two settled in for restoration collectively, like lengthy misplaced sisters. But earlier than lengthy panleukopenia struck them.
With loving care from Caren and Kenric, each kittens survived the often-fatal illness.
As Caren and Kenric ready to depart Montenegro, their hearts have been breaking on the considered leaving the kittens they beloved so dearly. Fortunately, an American expat stepped ahead to undertake the pair. Instead of returning to lives outdoor, they went to what was speculated to be the love and security of a “ceaselessly dwelling.”
Forever lasted lower than two months: as an alternative of permanence, one morning the kittens have been found again in Stari Grad. They have been instantly acknowledged and brought into care by Danijela, a neighborhood shopkeeper and Kotor’s chief cat caretaker, who feeds and cares for all of the kitties there.
It appears the American expat deserted Montenegro and the Waffles, with out discover.
Again the search was on for an adopter: at this level the ladies had been “inside kitties” too lengthy to be positioned exterior.

I adored these munchkins and had adopted their story from Caren’s first pictures. If they didn’t discover a dwelling in Montenegro, I used to be decided to convey them again to Seattle on my subsequent journey, to both discover a dwelling or be a part of our household. I gave my husband truthful discover, which he didn’t take significantly… till we arrived collectively at SeaTac airport just a few months later. SURPRISE! The Waffles are right here!
I loved their madcap antics sharing my bed room in a flat in Montenegro: Eggo discovered to work the doorknob; each performed hockey with walnuts all evening, and at all times managed to cover just a few nuts from me once I searched to take away them; Leggo beloved to flip their water dish over–only for the enjoyable of it.
But nothing actually bonded us like our 4-day journey from Montenegro by means of Belgrade and Paris to Seattle. Everything airline-related went mistaken on that journey, however the Waffles remained unfazed. They have been one of the best journey companions anybody might ask for!
Once dwelling, I made just a few half-hearted makes an attempt to seek out associates to undertake the ladies. Each day my husband Mike would ask anxiously if anybody had adopted them. Some days with anger, some with hope, others with resignation. Gradually the questions slowed.
Their mischievous antics continued: grapes, tomatoes, lemons and garlic all made good substitutes for walnuts of their hockey video games; laborious boiled eggs didn’t work, however after the enjoyable of taking part in with eggshells and egg whites was over, they loved devouring each tiny little bit of the yolks; the ceramic water fountain was too heavy to show all the way in which over, nevertheless it made a enjoyable thunking sound as Leggo tried and tried to tip it!
In September Mike made his first journey to Montenegro, to see for himself the nation and other people I really like and the animals I commit a lot time to serving to. I even satisfied him to have a look at homes with me! At one level, seeing he didn’t share my enthusiasm for transferring to Montenegro, I identified that if I had a house in Montenegro, the Waffles might dwell there as an alternative of Seattle. After a brief silence Mike spoke up: “They’re not going wherever. They dwell in Seattle now.”
Yes, certainly they do!
