Sassy, my little booboo!

Back in the end of November, I expanded my family to include a stray cat!  I just took one look at her, and knew she was a keeper!  She was about eight months old at the time.  She was nearly the spitting image of my dear Misty, who passed about five years earlier!

I stood adamant for all those years that I didn't want to replace my Misty, who I had for 18 years, selecting her the day she born, in fact, saving her life that day!!! I had been really missing my Misty though, and the stress levels in my life was reaching a high point - then one night, I woke in a start - it seemed clear that Misty didn't want me to live any longer without the affection I craved!

Shortly after that point, Sassy came into my life!  She's feisty, she loves to play, and she loves to purr... But she didn't seem to be a lap-kitty!  She does love to curl up on the bed next to my leg at night, so it's a start!  I pondered her past before coming to live with me.  What was her last home like, would she miss it, and wish to go back!  At first, I worried that I had made a mistake in accepting responsibility for her.  Maybe she wasn't meant to be with me, and I was forcing her to be mine!  

I think she is settling in, and I tell her the story of how Misty brought her to me!  We are making our own connection, and building our trust with each other, that is how she has become my little Booboo!  Now, I think she likes the name!  I call out "booboo!" when I come home, and she comes running to greet me!  Her tail high, and bounce in her step, using her high squeaky voice as she talks to me!  She's a smartie-pants too sometimes tricking her mommy into giving her more treats!  I oblige her, because she is such a sweetie!

I just love her more and more each day!  I'm glad that I took the chance on her, and she seems to be content to have a loving, secure home too!

Sassy, my booboo!
