It's Pet Day again! Today, I introduce Miss Buttercup. She's the alpha everything in this family. You all met Bubba last week and what I didn't tell you about him is that he likes to torment Pumpkin (you'll meet her later) but not even the Master can't intimidate Miss Buttercup, all 5 1/2 pounds of her. She can take on the world!
She was the first cat I ever had. One of my co-workers at JoAnn Fabrics knew I had been talking about getting Elyse a cat so she brought in a box one day with this tiny little Siamese mix. All I could think about on my way home from work were those ice blue eyes. Needless to say, I called her the minute I got home and told her I'd be at her house in the morning to pick her up.
Buttercup is 12 years old now and still acts like a kitten. She's quite the character. She always has to be at the highest point in the room and she can get there. She's got rubber legs. She also has to be in the middle of everything! Whatever you are doing, she has to get that little nose into it.
She has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. She's a beauty. She lives with Elyse in Delaware now so I don't see her much. But when I do get the opportunity, I pick her up, look down at her, and she hisses at me! I love that cat!
Awww! So cute! I think it's great that she is 12 and still acts like a kitten. That gives me hope for my cats. My oldest is only 4, but I always worry that once he gets in his double digits he won't be an active cat anymore, Miss Buttercup is just lovely! PS - I love your banner! So cute :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cat--and what gorgeous eyes!
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful cat! I bet she was an adorable kitten, too.
ReplyDeleteMy son has a cat that was born into the family...she is the offspring of a cat we had. She is 15 years old! She prefers him out of anyone else in the family.
Definitely a beauty
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cat she is. I had to laugh at your line about her hissing at you. :)
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a character!
ReplyDeleteShe's a beautiful kitty! You're right, gorgeous eyes! She sounds like a lot of fun, full of energy!
ReplyDeleteLove that cat too. I have a few cats that have that attitude. Your girl's blue eyes are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe had an alpha cat who ruled..Gracie was very jealous of our grandson, Joe, when he came along (not mean, just very stand-offish). When Joe went to Kindergarten he didn't know cats say meow...he thought they just said "hisssst"!
ReplyDeleteShe really does have beautiful eyes!
