Meet Lucy

Lucy, is our second cat......yes, she is named after Lucille Ball but, no, she does not have orange fur.  Hubby and I met 10 years ago and knew we were it and that was...that. I had a dog and hubby had a cat-Naddie whom I spoke of last week. I am a dog person and never thought of myself as a cat person, in fact, I have to admit I found the "I Hate Cat Calendars" quite funny. So 2 weeks into our relationship, my hubby introduced me to a new pussy cat he had picked up at the local pet store and he named her Lucy. I ...was nervous...now he has, gulp, 2 cats and this one seemed to just love being into our business.

Lucy was the runt and hubby fell in love with her when he saw her in the pet store because, although she was knocked off her perch by another cat, she went right back up and knocked the bigger cat down. With success, she started to licked her paws in victory. Since then, Lucy broke a mirror and a crystal glass that was a set of 2 given to my parents way back in the early 60's. She loves to climb and feel above you...in every sense of the word. I can say she can be a real bitch! She is the one that, when you are writing, she must walk right on top of the keys and then lay down demanding to be stroked and petted. If you tell her no and send her on her way, she does this certain meow that is ever so snippy and means she is giving us the middle finger. In fact, when my mom was still with us, living in the upstairs apartment, she turned off the kitchen light and heard Lucy jump off the chair (that my mom made comfortable for her by the window), trot over to my  mom and meow in demand. My mom turned on the light, Lucy trotted back to the window only to do an about face when my mom, once again, turned off the light. Lucy informed my mom, in no uncertain meows, that the light must stay on....my mom behaved and kept the light on.

Lucy is very affectionate when she wants to be, lets us know with her meows when we are not being her dutiful servant and takes off and hides the moment someone else enters her palace....she does not want to be disturbed. She is quite pretty, thin and doesn't eat much...the perfect model-thank God she can't throw a cell phone.  Her lover is Naddie and the rest be dammed! There are many stories about our Lucy but I shall save them for another day.
