Cool Ah-Yahhhh!! LOL

Mookie has the furriest tail I have ever seen, he also has a dark orange 'M' on his forehead and I tell everyone that it means 'Mommy'. LOL!! He has the furriest body too and his ear and foot pads (pure white!!) have fur that sticks out about 1 1/2 inches. When I say he is co-dependent I mean it, I have to put this bad boy to sleep inorder to get housework done.

The best thing is the crying, which I limit myself to only 5 minutes a day if needed. He will come out of nowhere when he hears me, even in a thunderstorm or with fireworks being lit!! Mookie has really bonded with hubby, especially now that he knows Daddy is ill. My husband was a worker and spent a good part of the week there. Now that he is home more, the cat will sleep right near him until my return. Whenever he gets up to do something, Mookie steals his chair. When I ask where he went after that, hubby replies "Your chair". Ha! Ha! I tease him so too, "Oh, didn't want to disturb the Mookster???" He is so afraid about ruining the 'bond'....Mommy brushes him all the time and Mommy has to bring him to the vets!! Ugggg!

Since he is a big cat (the new vet says he needs to lose weight, but he is suppossed to be a big boy!!) my husband will pick on me. He says "Mook Man, Mommy is going to get into trouble when she takes you to the Vets" or "Mookie, the Vet is going to tell Mommy that she is not listening to her advice and she is a bad Mommy"!! Oh well, Lu Ann I guess it is the price I pay to have my husband cleaning the litter box!! LOL

Thanks for updating us, I love the fact that I can actively be involved with my friends journeys all the way here in Little Rhody!! You have really helped us over the last several months and we are indebited a lifetime. How could we ever thank you enough??

Waiting For A Miracle....and expecting one soon>>Believe51
