Miss Sweetpea


Three cheers for Miss Sweetpea! Today she had a big adventure at Mission Pet Hospital. In the waiting room there were two giant greyhounds, one rottweiler, two pit bulls, and various cats that (in comparison to barking dogs) weren't that scary. We warned her that kittens who are treated like babies (pro - sleep on fluffy duvet) are also treated like babies when they get sick (con - rushed to the pet hospital by worryworts.) She was very brave and not as scared as the time Goompy & Gampy came to visit, despite having a fever w/ high temp even for a hyperactive attention deficit disorder princess. They also x-rayed her to make sure that she didn't eat the metal zipper off the Chef's jacket (his suspicion for the last two weeks.) The vet asked us, "Does she eat things? plastic? string?" This was met with great laughter as Miss Sweetpea has always found everything non-edible quite delicious. Zipper, yum.

She is back to acting like her old self again but NOW her sister Clementine has decided that if a cat (related or NOT) has left the house for over two hours she is a veritable STRANGER --- HISS! Who the hell are you?

I guess if you were a kid and someone put your annoying little sister in a box and took her away, perhaps you would hope that she was gone for good and you would be forevermore the queen of all attention. It would be a big let down when they brought her back.

HISSSSSSS
