About a month before we got Booble, we had a cat named Rusty. He got out one day and never came back home. We were sad that he was gone, but Tater was especially sad. He would mew around the house all day looking for his buddy. I decided he needed a companion. I found an ad online for a litter of kittens that said if there were not gone that day they would be taken to the pound. I showed up at he lady's house and she had 3 tiny kittens two orange tabby and one gray tabby. The lady went on to tell me they were only 4 weeks old and she had to get rid of them today because her two year old granddaughter would not stop picking them up. I wanted to take all three of them but knew 3 more cats would be too much to handle (little did I know I would eventually end up with more.) My son was with me and urged me to pick the gray one. I had already made up my mind the moment I seen her little face. She was the loudest most active one and I knew she would fit in. She meowed like crazy in the car on the way home. I finally made my son give her to me and I stuck her in my shirt and she immediately calmed down.
She was so tiny she fit in my hand. Cat Lady in Training was surprised once she got home from school. Booble was asleep on a pillow and she thought she was a stuffed animal. It took Tater a few hours to warm up to her, but once he did Mommy Tater was born. When she was not snuggling in my neck she was following Tater. He always made sure she was clean (Still does for that matter).
There is no doubt about it she is MY Baby. Several times throughout the day she will come snuggle in my neck like she did when she was tiny. She waits beside my chair until I tell her "Up Up" and then I am showered with headbutts and ear purrs. (Ear purrs are when she puts her wet nose up to my ear and purrs)
I have never seen a more vain cat in my life. Once she got her pink sparkly collar she became even more of a Diva. If she is having one of her grumpy days hissing at the other cats she gets her pretty girl collar taken away until she can play nicely. Once you take her collar she will follow you and meow until she gets it back. She will then sit perfectly still to have it put back on. Yes it sounds crazy I know, but it is one of those things you have to see to believe and anyone who has seen it is amazed.
She is also very jealous of Cat Lady in Training. If we are on the couch and she is beside me Booble will put herself in between us. She also lets me know when it is bedtime. Every night she hops on the bed and starts meowing. As soon as I go to bed she goes into super lovey mode. On Average she spends 30 minutes every night making biscuits on me, giving me headbutts, and big ear purrs. Most nights she sleeps on me or will lay right beside my face and look at me. Cat Lady in Training has caught her staring at me me while I sleep many times.
She is not the most social with the other cats. She was pretty upset when Michonne came to live with us. She did not like sharing her mommy at all. When the Evil twins came along she pouted for a few days. Every now and them she will play with the others and race around the house, but mostly she just growls and hisses when they try to play with her. Tater on the other hand is always welcome to come snuggle with her or give her a bath.
Cat Lady :)
