Hi, my name is Blanche Deveroux (a Cornish Rex) and I was named after the flirty character on the TV show, The Golden Girls. I pretty much live up to my name and "my people" say I'm bouncy, bubbly, blissful and a blue-eyed blessing to them.
Actually, sometimes I feel like sitting in the corner and crying because my fellow cat, Pepper, will simply NOT be my friend. I've tried everything -- I gently head-butt her, lick her head, and even fall down on my back in front of her as I try to get her attention and show my humility.
She just hisses, growls, and bats at me. I've been in the household for FOUR 4 months.....it seems Pepper would get the hint that I'm not leaving and would at least be civil to me.
At one point I thought I was making progress because Pepper didn't run away -- but she wouldn't let me inside the blanket with her. Another day, I REALLY thought things were better but that was short-lived.One cool morning, Mom was surprised to find us both in the cubicle. See how humble I am?
Pepper started licking me and I thought, "Oh, boy, progress!" Then two seconds later she started biting my ear and hissing.
Sigh......oh well, my new mom and dad are really nice and I know that they're my friends and are always available to pet me. Dad is the one I hang out with the most because he sits still and reads a lot during the day. Mom is always outside doing her thing with her flowers.
I'll just continue to find my way through each day and hope I'll have a better report next time.
We wake up together and read the paper online.
Dad's such a pushover - just schmooze a little and he's my friend forever!
I can't complain all that much because I have good people but I still have high hopes that one of these days Pepper will be my friend, too. I'll just continue to find my way through each day and hope I'll have a better report next time.
A mystery to me: They have these wonderful and lovely big white water fountains... but always seem to be closing the tops on them. I wonder why?
A mystery to Mom: Mom wonders why she finds little paw prints on her toilet seat if she forgets to put the lid down?
We just got a kitten named Benny to fill the gap left by losing Jesse last August. Nibby our 14 year old is not THRILLED. We know what you are going through.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Benny and Blanche would hit it off!
ReplyDeleteCute story! I just read it aloud to Sean.
ReplyDeleteBlanche is very cute, especially her tail. Tell Pepper she's missing out on a good friendship.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good friend.
