sweetpea "peek-a-boo"

[ SweetPea kickin' back ]

This page is dedicated to our cat, SweetPea or in other words, our "child". She has enough personality to kill you with cuteness, if that is such a thing. She just turned seven in April. And she loves being the center of attention. I think sometimes she thinks people come over to visit her and not us! Interesting enough, she does get a lot of attention, whether it's from the neighbors, or the delivery folks, or from our friends and family. Everyone remembers her. They always ask "How's SweetPea?". I mean to be honest with you, there are a lot of people that I can't remember their name. But their pet's?

She is definitely a princess! And a one-of-a-kind kitty. She refuses to wear a collar, because that must mean she is a cat, or something. As it is, she has to have "her food" and "her water". No substitutes. And she'll remind us when we haven't given her what she wants, including cleaning her litter or clearing off "her" spot, whichever one happens to be currently occupied by anything other than her, including two spots on the bed, one on the dresser, a storage box, the top of my desk, in the window, and the ottoman. She's very good at communicating with us. "Do you want out?" and she runs to the door. Or if she's outside, usually just calling her name she will run home. If she's outside when we have to leave, she'll be there waiting for us. But hey, she can usually opens the doors herself, if left ajar. It can be pretty funny at times, or creepy if you aren't expecting the door to creak open slowly. She loves to jump on the door to open it, or she will try to get her paw behind it, if it's a cabinet door. Nothing is out of her reach, including my barrettes, scrunchies, twist-ties, paper clips, post-it notes and other random stuff.

Well, I gotta go. She's underneath me, hitting me with her tail, letting me know it's time to go to bed. Does anyone else have a pet that has a bed time? And if I don't go soon, she'll start walking on the keyboard...
