You remember me…the Store Bought Kitty that the Pretty Woman gifted me with my Forever and Ever Home….As well as being pretty (I hate to brag, but like me, she is gorgeous), she has indulged my every whim and wish, from soft and crunchy food, treats, little round balls with jingle bells inside, cap nip,….you name what any cat desires and it is mine…all mine.
Just to put it out there, one thing I am not so crazy about are those trips to the Vet….though the Pretty Woman says it is all good for my long-term survival rate (what’s that, again?)…still there are all those other pets that come and go, bark, whine, slobber and hiss…It rattles me, even if I am snug in my little carrier where no one can touch me…so says my educated, yet sensitive Pretty Woman. With my overactive imagination I see and feel a clawed paw reaching in, pulling me through a little 1 inch by one inch wire mesh opening…But a girl has got to do, what a girl has to do, so I put up and shut up, drink the koolaid…so to speak.
Now the Pretty Woman reads a ton, investigates thoroughly and has decided, with her long work hours, it is in my best interests to have a companion. Somehow, she stumbled on to that Hotdogcoolcats Blog and it has her all stirred up…she has come to a decision after careful consideration… the Pretty Woman wants my input .. between you and me, how much weight it will hold, once her mind is made up, is questionable.
Yes, after much research, the Pretty Woman has decided I need a puppy dog companion, young enough that I can take the dominate role, at least until he or she have their wits about them….and sometimes that could be never. The Pretty Woman explained to me dogs are not as easy to train as cats so that first year can be full of unwelcome surprises….sounds high maintenance to me.
If we got another cat, unrelated and possibly untethered, he/she might be like the Forest Freak (I hate that story) or Hissing Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (Charlie) who has a rocky relationship with Bad Boy Andy…then there is the Diva Calico Gen always paw ready to slap you in the snout….Puppy Jakita is so peaceful and loving in comparison…unless you jump on a table or counter, then she’ll tackle you the minute your paws touch the floor….or she will tattle on you if you are misbehaving…otherwise it is like living with Mother Theresa, such a kind and gentle soul she is.
Well, hold the phones…let’s not do anything rash…let me give this some thought…I suppose if we could find a Puppy Jakita….it’s just that…you know….just that….
Me and you and you and me…No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be…The only one for me is you, and you for me….So happy together. (The Turtles)….
So let me sleep on it, Baby, Baby…..
