Bo’ the other cat

About Bo’:

•  I think she knows she ‘looks’ cute and purposely uses this to her advantage while clawing the rug.
• She has these scary hook-like claws that dig into things and don’t let go. Often when walking she just gets stuck in things. (Blankets, furniture, the rug) I once caught her dragging one of Gma’s socks around because she couldn’t get it loose.
• Bo’ before bed time does ‘Dancy Dance’. It is something kittens generally do – running around ONLY in the dining room with a piece of rug (Which she later eats), or a ball or mouse toy.
• When we first got her, her papers said she was 5-6 and healthy. Her mouth was so filled with periodontal gingivitis that after 2 visits she had most of her teeth pulled.
• She does NOT LIKE ‘MABIBBLE’ and has attempted suicide via window. I was lucky ‘MABIBBLE’ is persistent and grabbed her before the screen broke.
• She broke a tooth fighting with ‘MABIBBLE’, damaged her right eye and probably has brain damage from all the times she ran head first into walls. Likewise ‘MABIBBLE’ has lost a pair of shoes thanks to her claws and suffered many cuts.
• Bo’s isn’t the first name I originally gave her – but because Gma wouldn’t tolerate her original name I just call her Bo’.
• When company comes to visit she hides under the cabinet and refuses to come out. Lately its become a bit better- after 3 hours she will come out. In the past it was so bad she would potty and lay in it.
• She never spoke. It is only the past year she began small cries and and ‘bark’ like growls. That doesn’t mean she wont growl when provoked – I just find this strange since all cats owned spoke at some point. She has lived her 3-4 years and NOW she is speaking.
•  When petting Bo’ she does a army crawl as if trying to get away. When you stop petting her, she manages this hurt face. Longest distance pet/crawled was 5 feet; after that point I got tired.
•  In Gma’s eyes Bo’ (Or called little girl) can do no wrong.

 

There are more wonderfully annoying things I could say about Bo’ and perhaps in the future I’ll talk about her. This is my entry for Jaunary 9th’s photo challenge, Shadowed.
