Hear Me Roar

Change is Good

Recently Mama started getting up a little earlier in the mornings to take her shower before going to work. This has never happened before. She used to take showers in the evening before going to bed. Now she turns on the water, gets the day's clothes, and then calls to me: "Come on, little Boo! Mew!" and I run in to be with her. I love being in the bathroom with Mama while she takes her shower! I can sit behind the curtain liner on the edge of the bathtub and stay dry but I can still see her. Most of the time she hums or sings and I love it when Mama sings. Sometimes she leans over and taps on me through the plastic. I mew at her and she mews back. Then when she's done and is drying off, I just have to tell her how much I love her so I make all kinds of noise. I usually don't mew very loudly, so I think Mama likes it when I do because she mews back at me. Then we play something Mama calls "cave kitty," where Mama makes a cave out of the bath towel and I get underneath and hide. It's so much fun. I can't help but mew and knead anything under my paws, even the bathroom rug or Mama's foot. Mama thinks this is just the cutest, because that's what she says: "You're the cutest kitty EVER, little Boo!" And then I get lots of scratches in all my favorite spots. What's even better is this is just Mama and me time, because Darwin is shut out in the hall and can't get in. I like Darwin but most of the time all he wants to do is wrestle and chase me. Sometimes I need a break!

Yes, I think I like this change in the routine. I hope Mama does this all the time from now on!
