Seven Random Facts About Me

I was tagged today to do the Seven Random Facts About Me meme! Thanks to monty q. cat, the meezer gang, and chairman mao for tagging me - gives me an opportunity to finally talk about me! mememe!


Rules

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1. First of all, I am a lady.

And a cute one at that. This is despite my ferocious name. I walk daintily, I tilt my head just so to maximize cuteness without sacrificing elegance, and I sit prettily for any picture I want, when I want.

2. Donny is my clean-up crew.

Being a lady, I hate to dirty my paws at any time. This means I have a distaste for touching the contents of the litterbox (for good reason, don't you think?). Sure, I go through the motions after doing my business, but mostly I like to scratch the edge of the litterbox a little *just* to show it wasn't for a lack of trying and then jump away from the smelly mess. With a swish of my tail, I summon Donny over to cover it up. Sometimes, he is too efficient though....sometimes, I'm not quite done yet - and he's already trying to cover it up!!!

3. My mommy thought I was unable to talk when I was a kitten.

At first, she thought I was "dumb" (ie. can't talk) b/c for almost a year I didn't say a peep. But then when it was almost a year, I developed a wide range of chirps, peeps and meows. Oh yeah, and of course, growls, hisses and screams when I need to be the Defender! ;) I have gone from the quietest kitty to the most vocal one. I even talk to mommy when I protest! But that's for the next point....

4. I am the most rebellious kitty.

Perhaps you may find this hard to believe with my good looks, cute demeanour and ladylike elegance...but it's true! Of course, I maximize my advantages for my objectives, but sometimes mommy just won't let me have my way! So when all else fails, I am totally going for it. Mommy has counted one time that she said "NO" six times before I would stop. And even then - that was only a pause in my quest to have it my way! When finally she succeeds in stopping me, I *must* have the last word, complaining loudly as I walk away....

5. I love to groom....everykitty and everyone!

Grooming is my hobby and my way of expressing love...and sneaking in my domination, hehehe! As a kitten, I constantly groomed Donny whenever we hung around, sleeping, sitting...even if we happened to be walking by each other. When Casey finally accepted me and let me join her in hanging around, I would groom only if she let me....and she would let me know. Mommy and daddy I also "groomed"; I lick my mommy's hand every morning when I jump on the bed to greet her.

6. Although I am a white kitty with blue eyes, I can HEAR.

Listening, however, is another story. My listening is *very* selective. ;)

Right from the time of adoption, pple kept saying that I could be deaf, or that I was deaf. THEY ARE WRONG. I can hear very well, thank you very much. Mommy tested my hearing by clapping here and there behind her back (where I couldn't see her hands)...and I immediately turned my ears to the direction of the sound. When she did this a few times in different places and I turned my ears to each of those directions, she knew I could hear.

7. I bring my fuzzy jingly balls up to the top of the stairs and drop them.

For a while, I enjoyed doing that every night right after my parents went to bed. At some point, I figured out that if I dropped my balls from the top of the stairs, they would bounce down the stairs and I could chase them down. How fun!

So that's a little bit of randomness about me. I want to tag the following kitty furriends to do this meme!!

a. Mickey Mantle
b. Victor Tabbycat
c. Princess
d. Mr. Chen
e. Rosie
f. Maobert
g. Sir Edmund P. Hillary

Ok, better go let them know of the great fun in store for them!
