While Hobbes gets the majority of the attention over at the Duck and Wheel, I want you to know that is not the case at home. Mom and I are very close and she often whispers in my ear that I am "her girl" - which makes me purr. I thought my guest post for Pricilla's week off might be a good time to tell you all about me for a change.
Mom had to put her kitty, Molly, down the day I came to live with them - she was sick for along time. Colin and Emma were very young then, so Mom and Dad planned on giving another kitty a home right away because she didn't want Colin and Emma to be sad for too long.
That day come too quickly and the whole family appeared at the no-kill shelter that I was living at. It was in a house, so it was pretty nice, but I wanted to be an only kitty and wanted out of there fast. I actually greeted my new family at the door and acted like I was all cuddly and loved kids - but it was an act. I'm sort of an actress, I guess.
Here is my baby picture:
While I'm not big on cuddling OR kids, I do like Mom. She and I nap together and I like to sit by the tub while she takes bubble baths - it is our time together. She and I also talk a lot and I help her when she is on the computer - I sit on the keyboard.
I like Dad and the kids a bit better now, but I still don't like Hobbes. In fact, I don't like any other kitties - I like to be an only cat. I barely tolerate that big orange guy and swat at him every chance I get. Sometimes, I even chase him when Mom is not looking.
Hobbes is actually second fiddle around the house, although you wouldn't know it by all the attention he gets at our blog.
Sheesh.
I am very glad that Grace found a forever home even if she has to live with Hobbes. Hmmm, I wonder if this means she would not like me, either. Oh, well! You should head over to Duck and Wheel with String for some fun posts and for I Love Hobbes Thurdays. Hobbes kind of looks like me....
Be sure to head over to the publicist's blog where she has a great review of some yummy cat treats from Po's Bag of Bones Bakery.
