finders keepers!!

I have to tell you about my kitty Fancy-Pants. Actually, her name is Sunny, but she is super fluffy, and it looks like she's wearing fancy pants :) She's a bit of a weirdo. She was more than likely a street kitty, and so she used to be VERY possesive of her food. She'd sit at her bowl and growl while she ate. It sounded like she was saying "yum yum yum yum" (Too bad I can't add sounds...I do a great impression of her :) ). She acts all tough around the other cats, but she's afraid of thunder and will hide in the basement or linen closet. Actually, one of her favorite places is the linen closet. She scared off the dog across the street with one of her very fierce hisses...ok...that's not quite true. She did scare the dog, but her hiss was more of a whisper. It still scared the dog and made us laugh. But the FUNNIEST thing....her FAVORITE things in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD are rubber bands and balloons! Now, before I start getting comments telling me how unsafe those items are for cats, let me tell you that we don't just let her have them. She loves them because they are forbidden. Every morning, we take the rubber band of the newspaper and hide it in a drawer. Well, if for some reason we lose one, she'll find it and run through the house growling. She's even been known to knock over a garbage can to get a rubber band. She wasn't even in the room when I hid it in there!!! She LOVES this blue balloon I had from a school project. I had to keep the package locked in a file cabinet because she kept digging the package out from the hiding spots! So now she has one that we keep in the night stand. We play with her with it. I'll toss it for her, and she'll run and "point" to it...she'll toss it in the air and then sit next to it and wait for me to get it. BUT, if Rory is around and she feels that the balloon is threatened, she run off with it, growling the whole way. The good thing is that she ALWAYS runs to the coffee table in the living room :)
Hee-hee...I was just thinking about the night she stole a little smokie off the counter and went running through the house with her little "cigar" growling and trying to eat it :) She ended up upstairs and gave me a couple of good clawings before I got it away from her. She's so cute :) But she's kind of evil and hates EVERYONE except for me and Hubby. She REALLY hates Sister and Dragon. I can see why she doesn't like Dragon, but Sister is so very nice to her and has even tried to feed her and play balloon with her and she even plays the phone for her (Oh yeah...Sunny LOVES the phone and other high pitched noises :) She has been known to answer the phone in the bedroom :) )....but yet, Sunny still hates her.
Ok....enough about my cat. I should read or good to bed or something. Tomorrow is the Apple Orchard :) I hope my tummy is feeling ok...it's not feeling great right now. Kind of like the night my sister and I went to Zapatos.....
Whoa! I just realized that Hubby proposed 8 years ago today, Spet 13, 1997. Yeah for us :)
