It's true! That's *exactly* how Biskit is. When we have company, she
even tries
to lead people to the food bowl.Everytime *anyone* gets out of a chair
at this
house, she runs to them, meows, and runs to the food bowl.

That is TuTu's story too. She leads me to the food bowl every time I get
up. She doesn't always eat just then, but she wants food in that bowl.
At 15 1/2 pounds now. I think she has lost a little. MLB


I gotta ask, why did you name your cat TuTu? I'm not making fun of it - its
just that a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, someone very
dear to me was named Thu Thu (pronounced "Tu Tu").

Just found your question -- my computer had been giving me problems for
over a week.
Well, my beloved Siamese, named Princess, had gone to the Bridge and I
couldn't stand to be without her. So a month later I went to Petsmart
seeking an adult cat. I arranged to adopt the only cat there -- a large
mixed tabby/white. I wanted a new name for her but kept calling her
Princess. So I named her Princess II -- which evolved into Two - so she
was a Princess too -- which evolved into TuTu. (Funny how the mind
works, isn't it?" Best wishes for Happy Holidays. MLB

Ahh, I see. I was really curious. Thanks for the explanation.



(Funny how the mind

You're not kidding! I originally named Jade'o-mine "Ngoc" (pron. Knock),
which is a beautiful name that means "Jade", because she had such deep green
eyes when she was kitten. One day my sister came over and called her "Knock
Knock"... After that, I changed her name to Jade.

My partner also has a cat named Jade. When we talk about our Jades we
somehow ended up referring to his Jade as "My Jade" and my Jade as Jade 'o
mine". When I ask him how his Jade is I say "how's My Jade" and he refers
to my Jade as "Jade 'o mine"..... to avoid confusion ;-/. LOL!



Best wishes for Happy Holidays. MLB


Thanks. The same to you and yours.
