HI! My name is Buttercup. I'm a feral kitty that Sherpa John saved from the outside. I'm only 6 months old but I'm a total lady. I have a lot of fun in my new home. After a few weeks hiding under the bed, I decided that these people were all right after all. Now I enjoy getting lots of exercise around the apartment. I run and jump a lot. I like getting into the tub and sniffing around. I eat a lot too.. I'm such a little piggy.
I like when my people do things because that means I get to get in the way. One of my favorite things to do is chase that damn red thing around the apartment. Every time I think I get it, it disappears!
This Sherpa guy really likes to sleep.. so I wake his butt up at 2am to play fetch. He throws my little rattling mouse, I run off the bed and get it.. then bring it back. This only works a few times before his batteries run out.. he's a lazy dude. We like to take naps together some times.
Miss Sarah is my best friend.. I love when she comes home from work. When she walks in the door I say "Meow!" and then we give each other lots of loves. When she sleeps at night, I lay down at the top of her head and if she moves even a little bit, I flip out and claw her eyes (true story).
It's great to meet all of you. Just know that Sherpa has been very busy getting ready for finals, gaining weight (he's up to 163 pounds!) and working on his running schedule for the next 6 months. Time to get training for next years races.. maybe I'll run beside him like a cheetah! MEOW!
Adoreable!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Congratulations on your new friend! Almost 20 years ago I "adopted" a feral kitten... took her 6 weeks before she'd let me touch her, but once she did she became the biggest snuggle-bug and lap cat ever. Enjoy your time together :-)
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeleteVery nice essay and pictures. But one cat is not enough.
Best regards
