Braeya the Blogger

Braeya the Blogger

It didn't take long for Braeya to adjust to life here. She has made herself most at home. And, I might add - most underfoot. Since it has been five years since I had a kitten in the house, I forgot how they tend to get right in between your feet while you walk and leave you feeling so guilty when you accidently kick them and they tumble away...a little ball of fur.

Braeya, however, has decided that she needs to be a part of everything that goes on here:

If I have dinner, she needs dinner. And not Fancy Feast on a plate either. She wants pork chops or pizza or chips or whatever it is that I'm having.

If I go to bed, she needs to go to bed - exactly in the same spot I'm trying to use to sleep. In fact, when I wake up in the morning, I have to check for her before I stretch just so I don't accidentally kick her off the bed.

If I watch TV, she curls up in my lap and watches with me. She's probably the only diehard Grey's Anatomy cat on the block!

If I go out to mow, she stands at the back door, propped up on her hind feet, watching my every move and crying because she's not allowed to come out and join me.

If I take a shower, she sits on the toilet lid and waits (rather impatiently) for me to be done so she can jump in and lick the drain.

If I scrapbook, she runs away with the glue sticks and the paper scraps and then once she's properly lost her treasuer under the washer or behind some piece of furniture, she comes back for more.

And every single time I sit down to blog, you guessed it. She has to help. Sometimes she stands on the keyboard and causes me to create interesting words (so far, no obscenities), but most of the time she just plops in front of the screen and follows the mouse arrow. Do you know how hard it is to read blogs with a cat hoarding the screen?

Nevertheless, I would not trade her for anything - even when she scares her brother and unplugs my internet connection and leaves wads of white fur on my purple bedspread! Because when that purr starts and she looks up with those big blue eyes - it's all over!
