Once upon a time; a phrase all good and perfectly true stories begin with, there was a devastatingly gorgeous ginger kitten named Boo who later was renamed Pia. Now, how confusing do you think that was? There I was, just getting used to being called one thing, only then to be called something completely different.

Soon after, the nicknames began. Wee one, floof button, poofy girl are the ones that stand out the most. To be honest, I lost count of what I was supposed to answer to pretty early on and tuned most of them out. To be doubly honest, all that cutesy name-called made me want to go anywhere else but there.

But, darn it, the accommodations were topnotch! Why, the food bowl was as big as I was back then. How could I pass that up? So, I put up with all the daily kissing and snuggling and new nicknames.

Quickly, I came to realize two things: 1) Someone had to put up with all that extra attention, and 2) Someone had to save those crazy name-calling people, my new humans, from themselves.

So, all these years later, Mom, when you wake up and just happen to realize I’ve been laying on your head all night with what some might call a “strongly fragrant behind,” it warms my heart to know you can still find new names to call me.

Love, your poof.

  2. Dexter Kristof says:

    My favorite name for you is always my Ginger Princess! I don’t know if I ever told you but my first name was Marmalade, cause that’s what my bottle mom thought my furs looked like! I think Dexter is much better! Now mom calls me her “giant Puma kitten”… I think I will sleep with my fragrant behind near her head! MOL!
    Love always…. your D.

  3. You were such a sweet little poof and now you’re a magnificent grown up poof!

    Such a sweet story- except maybe the fragrant behind part. 🙂

  6. Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    You were a cute little poof who grew into a big beautiful poof. I used to get the same problem with Eric’s “fragrant” behind lying across my head too.
