Well, sadly, we lost our last kitty this week.  Blue, or more commonly referred to as "Boo", is playing with Pootie, Alex and Jessi now.  He was my first kitty ever.  I will miss him.

Even though in recent months he annoyed the stew out of me I am finding myself wishing that he were here to annoy me now.

He was with us a very long time and was, for the most part, a very good cat.  He loved his mama for sure.  Slept with me almost every night.  Once in a while he would sleep on his daddy's side of the bed, but mostly me.

He was tolerant of the kiddos but liked to watch them from afar.  He was not very fond of the new girl in our house. . . Bella Kate.  He was barely tolerant at best.

What a mischievous cat he was!  And, if he didn't get his way. . . lookout.  His most annoying trick was to bang the kitchen cabinets in the middle of the night if he wanted food.  THAT was a VERY BAD stage we endured.  He would choose the cabinets that had the inside child locks on them and take his paw and open it enough for the locks to catch and then let it go and . . . WHAM!  Loud noise.  Middle of the night.  Parents were RAGING mad.  He had a few tricks up his sleeve like that.  Cats just somehow know they will always win the game.

But, he had his endearing side too.  He was very affectionate.  He loved attention.  He loved our former kitty Pootie so much.  They got along from the minute they laid eyes on each other.  I'm so glad they are together now.

We will miss you Boo.  Who knows, maybe we will see you again one day?
