Nu

February 28, 2009

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.

that look, into your soul, trusting, yet demanding you care for her, the only thing she asks....a very poignant appeal

Don't you just love how they each have such different personalities.
My two cats are so different, and not being a mother, I can understand how a mother loves her children the same, but different.
They are like little furry four legged people. Love Cats!! So sorry about loosing your other love, but 18 yrs. is amazing. I can't even imagine. May this little girl help fill the hole in your heart.

I was going to say my heart went out to Nu for the bad luck in her first months of life but it is clear she is very much the typical cat. She could be a Manx without her tail. Not much damage done to her curiosity that's for sure.
Love her to pieces for me too.

And the king kitty blessed the owl, dubbing him 'Sir Drumstick' for the kingdom of France.

It was actually four back toes and the tip of Nu's tail that she lost. We've edited the caption to clarify that.

Yes she still does have a HUGE tail, and by huge, I mean we think she is part squirrel. We are still baffled by the idea that she did actually loose a piece of the tip of her tail, so it could have been bigger! I think this picture describes her and her tail perfectly:
