Grandma, I am NOT a ragdoll.

Have you ever seen Olympia Dukakis' chartacter in "Look Who's Talking"? The Grandma who gushes and coos like a whacko? That's my Grandma, who arrived in town yesterday to see Mommy.

This is the problem with being a patient and gentle kitty - you get treated like a ragdoll. On her last visit, Grandma squeezed me so hard I thought my legs would fall off and my eyeballs would pop out, all the while telling me how pretty I am. Then she was suprised when I ran away and hid - that's humans for ya.

So yesterday she shows up and starts her high-pitched gush again...but this time it wasn't quite as bad. Well.....she did hold me on her lap, and once she picked me up, put me in "baby position" (when you're on your back on the human's lap or arms) and sang "Rock a Bye Baby" :O) But no squeezes so far, thank Katz.

Now you may ask: why does my sister Zoe not have to put up with this? Well, besides being a little less gentle and far less patient than I am, she has an injury that limits her handling tolerance. Both of her hips were dislocated when she was a homeless kitty :( Only a few people know how to hold her without hurting her, and she does NOT do the "baby position" for anyone, not even Mommy. She has been known to get really, really, really mad at anyone - even Mommy - if over-handled. And not b/c she doesn't like Mommy, she adores her b/c she rescued her.

Oh well......at least Grandma doesn't live locally. Perhaps if Mommy has a human baby, then Grandma will leave me alone....hmmmmmm........

Yayyy!! The meme game!

Oh, what fun!! I've been tagged to play.....heres' what you do:

Each player picks seven random facts about themselves, and writes the seven things and the rules in their own diary. Next choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Send the seven cats you chose a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.

My random facts:

I came from a rescue group.

I can sit up and play "maneki neko" by holding up one paw.

I actually like to drink water.

Sometimes I grunt when I purr.

My favorite toy is a little soccer ball.

My Daddy is my hero, because he carried me out of PetSmart.

I am a master at "The Bed Game". I love it when Mommy makes the bed :D)
