Nu [redux]

June 29, 2011

Sappymoosetree says: Nu came after the passing of my 18-year-old childhood cat. I didn't think I wanted a new cat, but when my friend told me her mom was watching after a kitten who lost some of her toes and the tip of her tail after being stuck in a car engine that had been driving for four hours, I said I would at least look at a picture of her. It just took one picture before I needed to meet her and then eventually claim her as mine.

I can only describe things in terms of life before Nu and life after Nu. I didn't realize a cat could have sooooo much personality and act like a tiny controlling teenager. She won't take no for an answer, has to have it her way or no way, and needs to personally inspect everything by touching her nose to every object in the house four times a day. It didn't take long for us to realize how she ended up stuck in the car. Nothing breakable is safe in this house. (That or her mom couldn't stand her anymore and stuck her in there, heh!) Regardless, she is insane but we love her for that.

Nu is so gorgeous, and she sounds like the purrfect kitty! It's all about them, all the time. :-) It's so hard to choose a favorite picture. I always look at them and try to imagine which one means the most to the person who loves them. I wish I could vote for all of them! Purrs and head bonks to Nu. :-)

I think Nu is just adorable and a perfect companion for you. She'll grow to fill any gaps left in your heart and I think you'll be busy for many years trying to keep her out of trouble!

Absolutely adorable - and it shows on her face the personality she has - mine is the same and although we didn't have him from a young kitty - I can well imagine what he was like (he still retains the personality he came with and we have encouraged him all the time - so now he's more seasoned he's also learned a few tricks too). nu sounds to me that she has already filled the gap for you and much more and she sounds so precious that you will both enjoy for many years to come, and in the process she will teach you a few things too.

It was hard to pick a favorite photo, because they're all so adorable! Nu had a rough start, but she's obviously landed in a wonderful loving home, and that's just perfect! Enjoy her - she's a real sweetheart!
