Uh-oh! Mom's Stressin' and I'm Messin'

I'm kind of keeping a low profile right now, 'cause Mom just finished yelling at me. She's kind of stressed right now; we're getting company soon from England, and she's trying to get the house in order. Not that it's that bad or anything, just the usual clutter from someone who works full-time and has 4 animals in the house. Dad's not much help- he always says, "You wanted all these animals, you clean up after them".
Anyway, these English relatives have never had any pets, I don't know if they even like animals. But Mom says, "These dogs and cats live here, if they don't like it, they can stay in a hotel". (Why do you think they call it FUR-niture)?
She had just straightened up one of the bathrooms, and forgot to close the door after herself. And I just couldn't help myself--it was like winning the lottery! Three of my favorite toys all in one place; toilet paper, cotton balls, and Q-tips. I was in kitty heaven.
So Mom comes back in about 20 minutes (when she heard the crash)! By then I had shredded the whole roll of toilet paper, and knocked the container of cotton balls and Q-tips off the sink and onto the floor. I had already mangled about a dozen of those puffy cotton balls and was in process of destroying my third Q-tip when she caught me. She came in and waved her arms around and called me some not-so-nice names as she chased me out of the bathroom and started to clean up the mess.
That's why I think I'll just stay out of sight for awhile (unless she forgets to shut the door again).

My Name is Lucy

My name is Lucy. I was adopted last summer from the shelter where my Mom is a volunteer. One day when she was working there, a good Samaritan brought me in with my left hind leg almost torn off; it was hot and rainy and I was drenched and my leg was covered with maggots. They tried to save my leg, but after a few days it was getting worse and they had to amputate it. After a month, I was ready to go home, and my Mom adopted me. I get around just fine on 3 legs; I run and play and climb just like any other cat. I love to play with my cat-brother Bailey and my dog-sisters Sadie and Gracie. I just love to chase their tails and pounce on them. I am a real cuddler, I love to curl up on the couch or in bed with my human Mom and Dad. Bailey and I will be going to Bike Week in Sturgis,SD this August. How many other kitties can say that?
