Who says cats are sneaky? I sure don't! Full Name: Demoiselle Nicknames & Phrases: Miss Wazzle, Hazy Mist wannabe, pretty pretty girl girl kitty kitty kitty (whispered), Wazzle-kitty, Demi-Waddle Given B-day: August 15, 1993 Current Age: 13 Quirks: Kneads her paws in my hair, is very big on giving kitty kisses, tries to open my mouth to fish around, pats my face. She's also an "under cover" kitty. History: Demi came to me at the request of a friend. She knew a guy who had a kitten that he was getting tired of having (GRRRR). She had her "3 square meals" and her litterbox but no loving. He was about to send her to the pound but my friend con- vinced him to wait until she asked me to take her, first. Well, who was I to say no? I couldn't turn her down! I'm glad I didn't, either! The first thing Demi did was "wig out!" She was going ape with all of those other cats to befriend! She ran around, getting in everyone's face, trying to be as sociable as possible. Needless to say, the others weren't quite as pleased! It didn't take long for her to win them over, though. She was a bit too active for the older cats, but for Lucky, she was perfect! They're roughly a month apart in age and together, they enlivened the entire household! Sometimes even the oldest cats would get into the games but not very often. For awhile I had concerns that we might have babycats among the herd. Even though Demi was only four months old, Lucky had come of age a bit early and began showering "attention" on his little playmate. At the time, I was a little bit strapped for cash and it took a few weeks to arrange financing to have Lucky neutered. I know that I've said that both of my vets work with me but I do try not to make use of that priviledge unless I must. As Demi was so young, babies didn't seem likely. Happily, Demi didn't conceive and both were "fixed" before anything else could come about. In a way, I have a few regrets. Demi and Lucky would've made beautiful kittens! It wouldn't have been responsible of me, though and Demi was too small at the time to take such a risk. Like Lucky, Demi is a burrower. One of her favorite ways to cuddle is to settle in on my shoulder, buried in my hair. She loves to crawl under the covers with me at night, too (until someone steps on her, that is)! :-) Demi is very big on giving kisses! She'll wash my face until it's sore if I let her! If I'm whispering to her, that either prompts the kisses or she paws at my lips, trying to open my mouth. I don't let it get that far since the day she actually put her paw in my mouth! That's just a bit too much! Demi has calmed down quite a bit since her kitten days but she still loves to play. Funnily enough, Image (See: In Loving Memory) even played with her now & then. He didn't play very often once he'd grown older. Demi, however, could rekindle that spark where the others would just irritate him. Demi is as adaptable as Lucky. She can be every bit the lady in the presence of the herd's "matriarch," Beau ( See: In Loving Memory). She can also be gentle enough for Fresca ( See: Fresca & Chester), and ornery enough for Cimmaron (See: The Bru' Clan). It cracks me up to watch this little lady meow! Her mouth opens so widely that her whole face scrunches up and you expect to hear, "MEOW!" Instead, you get this soft, high pitched meow that sounds like a question (will you please love on me?). Since she doesn't do much talking, her greeting to you is short but sweet! She's undoubtedly happy to see you, though! She only talks when she really has something important to say! To me, Demi is always a lady and a wonderful companion for everyone! Her contribution to the Herd is one of fun and precious kitty lovin'! If you want a "Demi-kiss," just whisper to her and she'll love you for it!
Some of the best love comes in small packages... or in twos...or threes...or in boxes...:-)
