A cat with an attitude...

I’m a cat with an attitude that’s what my daddy described me, that’s why I got the name Garfield from the famous cat, though mom first named me as Snugglepuff because I love to be snuggled and cuddled the first time I step on there place though later on I guess they discover more stuff about me. Now they said my first name is Garfield, Snugglepuff is my middle name and Mommy’s-boy is my last name.

Sassafras is my sister who was featured her first, we do really have opposite behavior, I am pretty much contented with what life has to offer, I don’t complicate things, I am just pretty much happy with simple things around me and laid back, as long I am fed with my mom using the dropper and most of all I don’t start some fight.

Lately my sissy just loved to attack me, be rough with me, scares me and dominate our resting place so now I learn to fight back with her and use my weight and big built to pin her down, so now I learn to eat from our plate and the solid food which I know mom and dad are happy about it.

This is how they liked me for being behaved and snugglish....

And I can just be in one place without causing trouble...

And this is how I pin my sissy down...good for her...

Siblings rivalry???

Today when my hubby and I got up from bed we heard our little kittens in the other bathroom hissing and growling like a big cat.

After I do my thing from the other room I go immediately to check on them in the other bathroom, I saw both of them at the opposite end of the bathroom, while Sassafras was on top of the box where they used it for sleeping and Garfield was behind the stool and poops (sorry for the word) all over and both of there hairs was sticking out while growling and hissing to each other like a mad dog.

I try to calm them down but Sassafras is really having some kind of an attitude that she just want to growl and fight with anybody who get close to her, so now we are worried why Sassafras would act like that towards her brothter because I don’t think her brother would be mean to her knowing he is even the one who is afraid of him.

Hopefully we could figure it out what is happening with this little feline. We don’t want them to hurt each other. And with high hopes that this is just merely a siblings rivalry....

I'm Sassafras a Calico Kitty...

I’m a calico kitty that was found by Craig in the warehouse where he works for and along with her girlfriend Debbie they rescued me along with my brother. And then after a week they offered me to a couple named Matt and May whom Matt really loves to have two cats in his new place.

July 22nd, 2007 was my date of birth we just find out last August 19th when my brother was sent to the vet along with me because he isn’t eating much and it worries our new set of parents and both of us doesn’t still have a name because our new set of parents can’t find a good one that would match our personality.

I like to play rough with my brother even though mom thinks I should be prim and proper knowing I’m a little girl but it didn’t stop me from being mischievous and playful especially with my brother and at the back of the couch. I love to run around the house and be adventurous. And even how young I am I can eat from the plate not like my brother who is so babyish.

At first my dad likes to call me rascal because I’m playfully mischievous and at one point my mom call me brusko (Filipino word) or brusque (English word) meaning I’m a rough kitty. But last August 26th, Sunday dad ask mom what would be my name aside from those latter 2 names that they call every now and then, so mom asks dad about the Garfield book of Cat Names that he kept for a long time, mom browse through the books and try saying the name out loud and see if it matches me and at the end they both agreed on naming me Sassafras and in that book it says “A small genus of aromatic North American…trees with soft yellow wood,…dioecious yellow flowers in umbellate racemes, a six-lobed perianth, and nine stamens in three rows.” So I don’t know if it really depicts about me cause I’m a kitty far from being a flower but almost one of them cause I’m soft to touch but rough to play with but the important thing is my mom and dad both agreed on that name. So now they have various name they called me which are brusque, rascal, Sassafras, Sassa or Sassy so either one will do just as long they will call me for dinner.

mom was able to get my attention here huh...

mom trying to take a picture while I am snuggling with my dad's legs...

look at me how sleepyhead I am here...

this is how rowdy I am with my brother...

This is how I end up when my brother uses his big body and weight. I always end up being pinned down....

But we still have a moments like this....

Youth Weekend Getaway...

Last Saturday hubby and I bring the church youth to one of our church members lake house because this is an annual event that this couple accommodate our youth.

So I help my hubby organize for the events, I call around for our youth and invited them for the said event, there are bad news and sad stories like they are no longer going to our church or they are doing other things on that event day, still hubby wants to push through with the said event even if we just have a couple youth who are willing to come and we end up having 5 girls which is not bad because we are just expecting for 2 or 3 actually, but some problems we are facing the ride because we can just have 3 passenger in our car while I was handing the phonebook to my hubby one of our church member whose grand daughter is coming she said she is willing to go with us so we don’t need to rent a van so it’s another answered prayer.

We went to Beaver Lake, which the lake house is located; we had hotdogs, chips and tons of drinks to gulp down. And while my hubby and Dr. Thermon Crocker grilled the hotdogs, Karen Crocker lead the group for a trail hiking with La Wanda Waltman, me and along with the 5 girls and she showed us some neat stuffs on the way to the trail and down to the beach all of them was fascinated and that most of them including La Wanda love collecting rocks so we go over to some unusual rocks we saw on our hike.

After lunch was over Karen and Thermon lead us to their pontoon boat so we could go swimming. And we had a blast in the lake and the girls really enjoy the water and the weather is nice cause it’s not that hot cause we just have rain the other night so the day is little bit cooler.

It’s time for us to get out from the water and do some caving, because in there land they have a cave and they are willing to share it with us which is so nice and neat to be in there and when we got out from the cave Thermon told us that we are now all a certified spelunker.

With all the experience we have I could really say that God really have good taste on shaping his creature. And He makes a way where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see and keeps His promise that He will not leave us nor forsake us.

With me are Alex, Leslie and my hubby...

With me is Karen Crocker a nice lady from church....

At the mouth of the cave Kennedy and Matt...

Kennedy and Thermon at the bottom of the cave...We all went there but have to go down one by one and really holding on to the sides.

With my hubby inside the cave...The Spelunkers...

Kittens peek-chures...

This kitty loves to cuddle or snuggle around and of course baabaa loves it as well cause he loves to have a lap cat...

This kitty loves to be everywhere and she is the rascal one but of course it doesn't bother him at all.

Just look at the daddy??? While he is peacefully sleeping and the kittens are all over him but it doesn't bother him at all.

I just love watching him while he is enjoying the kittens, because he feels on the top of the world having them around.

First Pets...

My hubby is a cat person, he loves cat more than any other pet animals out there, he had a cat since he was a kid an even still had one left in Oklahoma (Lester is his name) which we can’t bring in here in Fayetteville cause we are still living in an apartment which is a tiny place and there would be more hassle cause you have to pay more on your rent if you have a pet so we just opted not to have one and also because I am not a pet person as well cause I grew up not having one but sad to say one day Lester was gone out in the farm because he ended up to be an outside kitty after being an inside kitty for a long time.

When me and my hubby where looking for a house, he always told me that we can have a kitty and not just one but two so they would have a playmate but still I am hesitant to get a kitty or any pet of any form cause for several reasons like I don’t want our place to smell like animals, to go after there mess and just for the fact that I am not used to any of those creature inside the house, they can stay outside the house and that would be fine but my hubby doesn’t want to.

So after we moved in into our new house last late December, I am planning to get him one cat for his birthday because someone is offering me there cat but it didn’t fell through for some reasons and I guess one part of me is saying that’s better atleast I can tell my hubby that I am willing to gave him one but the transaction didn’t fell through so after a couple of months we just lived our normal lives and forgetting to get some cat until we visited his hometown where his parents has 2 cats which he always end up wanting cats in our place.

Just last week Debbie (hubby’s officemate) offered him 2 kittens (just barely 4 weeks old) which she and her boyfriend rescued from the warehouse where her boyfriend work and where Abby’s hubby worked as well (he also mention this to Matt even before Debbie offered it to him. So Matt told me that we are going to have 2 kittens and Debbie will be delivering it so I was like what????? But he insisted to get the kittens and he is really looking forward to have those kittens and so just last Friday we had the kittens in our house and it was one of the most wonderful and great day my hubby had in that entire weekdays and he is in heaven and on top of the world playing and petting the kittens but of course I am adjusting to have pets around especially with the sharp paws. Good thing my hubby is helping me adjust.

But now I am preoccupied in the house just preparing there milk and solid food, cleaning there mess and playing with them but now I could say that I miss them when I am away from home but still feel tired when I overdo things for them but I would say they are a stress reliever so far and I am enjoying every time I am around them especially when they meow and wanting my attentions.
