The Middle Name Meme
The Middle Name Meme
I found this meme recently while I was surfing. It looks pretty fun...so I'll start it here.
First the rules:
1. Post the rules before you give the facts.
2. List one fact that is somehow relevant to you and your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your post using your middle name and facts about it.
4. At the end of your post, choose one cat to tag for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to let each cat know she/he has been tagged. (It's ok if you don't do this...tag who you want to tag!)
I was going to use my own middle name...but Fuzz is a tough one! That means it's Lucy's turn. Even though she gets called 'Lucy-furr', her official name is 'Lucinda Suzanne'. Suzanne just fits, and some of the words that get used for Lucy also fit for our Suzanne who recently crossed the bridge.
S = spirited, spunky, sassy, sweet, silly, soft. Lucy is certainly spunky, sassy, and sweet. Suzanne was spirited, sweet and soft.
U = unique, unusual. Lucy asked to be rescued after she was abandoned. She happily joined our household. Suzanne was the original skitter kitty.
Z = zealous. Lucy is zealous in her play; 20 pointy claws and who knows how many teeth...and all ready to play! Suzanne was zealous in her love of cuddles under the covers.
A = ambitious. Lucy is working on the world record of moving from cuddly kitty to 'I'll bite your fingers, wrist, toes, chin, nose, ankles, heels, calves'. Suzanne's ambition was to teach mama about love.
N = nice. When Lucy is drowsy or sleepy, she is very nice. In mama's eyes, Suzanne was always nice.
N = naughty. Lucy seems to have the naughty thing down: climbing the furniture, climbing the curtains, nipping mom's toes and other body parts when mom is not expecting it. Suzanne could find places to hide when mama needed to find her fast. It led to cursing that no kitty should have to hear!
E = energetic. There's an equal sign between Lucy and energetic. She can go and go and go and go... When Suzanne was young, she had that same battery-bunny quality.
That's 7 letters, so 7 tags:
Our sister, Miss Peach
Our sister, Marilyn Monroe
Our cousin, DaisyMae Maus
Our sister, Marie
Our cousins, Prinnie and Caesar
Our uncle, Omer
Our great friend, Dragonheart

photo hunter - row
the silly side of me says that if it's in a row, it's meant to be counted. so today, i'm featuring the Count who will help us with our pictures:
18 mice in one row. One row with 18 mice!
18 mice in two rows. Two rows with 18 mice!
18 mice in three rows. Three rows with 18 mice!
18 mice in four rows. Four rows with 18 mice!

Number 200!
here it is: post number 200! that's a lot of posts since November 2006. it's been so much fun...and lots of great things have happened because of this little blog.
we're going to talk about family in this blog. someone asked about all the family relationships, how they got started, who is related to who, etc. so let's get started.
last year--in november 06--mom had a myspace blog. mom's niece jessica suggested that mom might like blogger better. mom read jessica's blog and realized that she liked it better too. daisymae and the feline americans are my cousins.
at first, suzanne wrote the blog. it was called 'under the bed' because that's where suzanne spent her time when she was scared. i think she was the original skitter kitty! suzanne was 15 when she started writing. she turned 16 in may, and then crossed the bridge in june.
before she crossed the bridge, oscar told suzanne that he had always wanted to be a dad, but had not fathered any children. he asked if suzanne would allow him to be her father. suzanne agreed, and oscar adopted her. at almost the same time, oscar adopted miss peach.
the family continued growing: marilyn monreow became a sister, pounce married oscar and created more family relationships.
when suzanne crossed the bridge, i started writing the blog. i changed the name to 'the fuzz factor' because i am fuzzy. i felt close to omer and asked him to be my uncle. that made him and oscar brothers. omer's kitty girl forest has recently had kittens. that makes us cousins.
when lucy came to live with us a few weeks ago, marie said she had always wanted to be a big sister. lucy adopted her.
update: mom forgot to include one of our favorite aunties: auntie tina. she writes a great blog! cats, sheep, flowers, life. mom says 'sorry! i had a brain cramp. we LOVE having auntie tina as part of our family!'
that's our family--at the moment!
