RIP Kitty

I haven't had the time to keep up with my blogs, but on July 29, 2009, Rebecca aka Kitty passed away from fatty liver syndrome. We all miss her dearly. She was the best cat I ever owned.

Computer Kitty

Rebecca aka Kitty has been lounging on the computer lately. I'm her favorite person (because I feed her) and this week I'm on vacation, so I've been on the computer more often than usual. There really isn't much room for her to sit on the desk, so she found a warm spot on top of the computer. She follows me around all day. If I go to the basement, she sits outside the door and waits for me to come upstairs again. It's nice to have such a devoted pet.

I had a Chihuahua who was devoted to me, too, but he was old, sick, and couldn't come with us when we moved last year, so...that was a sad day. Rest in peace, Bambi.

Our Cat

Our cat's name is Rebecca. The previous owners named her Valerie, but that just didn't fit. The boys both had the same girlfriend (in Head Start) whose name is Rebecca, so they wanted to name the cat after her. I usually call her Kitty. She "answers" to Kitty. If we ever got a name tag for her, I'm not sure what we'd use for her name. I guess we could put Rebecca aka Kitty. The way I figured, when a kid calls a cat and doesn't know the cat's name, they just say "Here, kitty." If she ever got lost, I'd like her to go over to someone who could rescue her and hopefully bring her back to us. She's an indoor cat so I hope she doesn't get out.

That's our cat. Rebecca aka Kitty.
