Poor little Miss Purrl
Purrl, our charming little white cat, travels back and forth with us to the shop and home each day in a lovely new french blue travel cage. This cage is well padded with a hand knitted blanket in shades of blue and white and a thick nubby blue towel. She does travel so very well.
However, last evening, Mr Knits inquired about the satin blanket Purrl now had in her cage. I said, "what satin blanket?" and went to investigate. Yes there definitely was a silk and satin "blanket" in the bottom of her cage.
Apparently, I have been spending too much time with Kitty Mama and her babies. Miss Purrl had taken my silk embroidered jacket with the satin lining from the back of the chair where I had put it when I got home last night and dragged it into her cage (about 20 feet away). Please realize that while this jacket is not heavy, it is big...about two sizes too big for me, but I love it and wear it frequently. Our poor neglected kitty had dragged my jacket across the floor, up onto the raised hearth where we keep her cage, and put it neatly inside and curled up on it. Not a bit of fabric of the jacket was outside the cage. I guess Purrl felt this was the only way she could get close to me.
We knew Purrl and Stinky watched us cuddle the Kitty Mama and her babies, and we did hear their mournful meows, but we thought we were doing the right thing by socializing these kittens so they would get good homes. What we didn't know was just how jealous our own kitties were.
As a result, we are curtailing our time on the front porch and spending more time with our own four little girls.
What I really want to know is how the Octomom does it. We only have10 animals in our care; she has 14 kids! Maybe Nadya has some pointers she can share with me.
