of those people who collect cat things (ie...calendars, statues, wall art,
sweatshirts with cats on them, etc..), those people are weird. But I LOVE
having a cat. I have always had cool cats and anyone who reads this that knew
"Simon" (RIP buddy), knows that he WAS the coolest cat that ever lived. Well,
these people who I have house sat for have these two cats...Princess and
Dutchess. I have blogged about them before. Princess is such a great cat and I
have always said that if they ever got rid of her, I WANTED HER. Dutchess
however is the devil. She is mean, scowls at me and hisses at me when I simply
wanted to love her. Thumbs down for Dutchess. So, these people call me because
they are now having to find a new home due to allergies. I was beside myself
and almost too excited to dial Rich's number. Now, I had to call him because if
I COULD take her...she would have to be at his house since I have a roommate
and that just wouldn't work. He said yes (side comment: amazing boyfriend)...on
one condition...we had to change her name. He refused to call her princess.
It's not like I like that name either but it's her name she comes with and
she's not young so I felt guilty. We tried all kinds of things to see if she
would respond and she seems to like Peanut, his choice. It's better than FOOPA,
which originates from her Buddha belly that swings when she walks. Foopa is
loose skin on the gut that women get right after having a baby. I didn't want
her getting a complex so Foopa was out. I like chubby cats..skinny ones aren't
as fun. Around her we don't say "Chubby", we say big boned..trying to be
sensitive to her feelings. She might be big boned but she's got a great
personality and lots of love..like her new MAMA! So...it's Princess..or Peanut.
Peanut it is..she likes it, we love her, and she loves us. The end.
