We love you, Tubby Girl.
Today, Mowie turned n + 1 years old.
In other words, we first met Mowie one year ago today.
The year started off rough and there were many times where we trying to pawn her off on others. We begged and pleaded, through emails, phone calls and personal visits. She was too good to go to a shelter (as all cats are) but too crazy to live here (as all our cats are). Yet there was something about her that kept us coming back for more. She has this way of staring at you as if she loves you so much, which I believe she does.
One year ago today, she ran to me as if I was her long lost friend and as if she knew I would love her instantly. She didn’t know me, yet she trusted me with her life, literally. She curled up on my lap just hours after meeting me, something to this day she doesn’t do with strangers. She was so desperate for love and just wanted affection.
Now Mowie lives a life full of love and attention and sometimes gives off a snobby vibe to visitors. It’s not that she doesn’t like you or want attention, you’re just not her mommy and daddy, and who could disagree with her that we are just simply the coolest people on earth :)
Not only do we feel we have given Mowie ourselves, but we’ve given her two annoying, yet adorable baby brothers. She may yell and smack them, but deep down inside we know she loves them. This was proven when we took her brothers to the vet to get neutered… as we put them in the cat carriers they screamed out to her and she looked back and yelled “theey don’t want to goooo don’t make theeeeeeem!!”
Or maybe she was just hungry.
Either way, Mowie will never be lonely again. Even when she is n + 35 years old, she’ll have a family that loves her, and doubles her weight with every passing year. (whoops!) Perhaps it’s time for a d-i-e-t.
So Happy Birthday* to the closest thing to a living teddy bear to exist, Mowie*
*actual date of birth as well as name are not known.
