It's a Good Life

What's happening these days

Mommy's really starting to worry me. She hovers over me and my sisters a lot lately and she keeps talking about having bad dreams that we got hurt. I actually smacked her the other day to get her to leave me alone. Don't get me wrong, I love Mommy but her constantly bugging me is interfereing with my beauty sleep MOL! And to top it all off, she told us yesterday that Mamaw is coming over next week to treat us for fleas and put us in a cage for almost an hour so she can do something called "flea bomb" our house. I don't like seeing Mamaw and usually run and hide from her as soon as I hear her voice. I may not like it but hopefully when we get done we won't have to worry about fleas ever again! Anyway I think Mommy has lost it sometimes cuz she wants to do all these odd things to us. I can't believe it's been a year almost since Sissy died and I think that's why Mommy went crazy. Maybe she thinks I'm going to leave her too, but as I've tried to tell her she's got to put up with me for a long time yet. No getting rid of me that easy :). I hope she remembers that.

Update on Life in my Home

Well it's official, I have babies!!! Well not really, Mommy is keeping some babies til her grandma can find a home for them. I really have taken up with them though. I give them baths and I'm trying to teach them how to be good kitties. I sometimes get jealous of all the attention they get. (Mommy has to give them medicine and stuff so they get more attention than I do). Then my sisters take up a lot of the rest of Mommy's time. Ashley gets yelled at a lot cuz she likes to growl and hiss and slap whenever one of the babies gets too close to her. And to make it worse, she started doing that with Maria and me again (fun fun for Mommy again mol). Mommy still misses Sissy. She doesn't say it much anymore, but I can tell when I look at her sometimes cuz her eyes look so sad. I try to spend a lot of time with Mommy during the day, but I don't cuddle in bed with her anymore (something else the girls and babies took from me). But hopefully we'll settle back into a quiet routine again soon. Here's hoping anyway. :)

Sissy and me

Hi everyone. My name is Butterscotch and this is my life. My mommy spoils me very much. She's my personal maid and gives me pretty much everything I want pretty much anytime I want it. I'm the oldest in the house now that my sister died. The last month has been very hard on everyone in my family. This time last month is when we lost Sissy (Sophie). We had many changes before that and after that. We moved in November so we were all just starting to adjust to the move.

Then Mommy had to go and bring another boy into the house. I didn't mind cuz I finally had someone I could play rough with. Sophie on the other hand threw a fit!!! She let Oliver and Mommy know that as far as she was concerned Oliver could go back to wherever he came from!!!

Then just when we were all starting to finally learn how to live together peacefully, Sissy got sick. We don't really know why or how but it hit her hard and fast. One day she was fine and we were playing together and the next she moved into Mommy's bed, and eventually the bathroom sink. I was confused because I wanted to help take care of Sissy as I had done since we were kittens, but Mommy wouldn't let me. And when Mommy left the bathroom after seeing Sissy she was always crying.

Then a couple days later Sissy went away and Mommy couldn't stop crying. I was hurt and confused. On the one paw, I loved and missed Sissy and wanted to make sure she was ok. But on the other paw, I love my mommy and don't want to see her cry. So I really stuck to Mommy the next couple days and tried to make her feel better.

Then Mommy brought another girl home and this time it was my turn to be mad. I mean I know what Sissy looks like and this was not her!! I hissed and smacked everytime this new girl tried to come and say hello. I know it made Mommy even more upset, but at those moments I just wanted MY SISSY, not this new girl Mommy called Gia. I thought that if I could get rid of her, my Sissy would come back.

That was a few weeks ago now and while I'm still not real happy about the new family I'm doing better. I'm trying not to hit my "new sister" as much and I don't hiss at her anymore either. Mommy let everyone know that because I was here first, that makes me the boss. Things have been a lot better since then.

Mommy and I still cry together sometimes when we miss Sissy but we both know we'll see her again on Rainbow Bridge and that makes us feel better. We know that she's being taken good care of up there, and I am too. That's the most important thing.
