Spike
is my beautiful baby girl! Named so for her little black French
beret type patch on the top of her head. She came to me from a
co-worker who had kittens. She was the last to be taken, certainly not
because she isn't beautiful or sweet, just because she's kind of a shy
little girl. When he brought her over in a little box she looked up at
me as to say "hi mommy, I love you but I'm scared". She spent her first
moments with me cuddled in my neck groove. That's still her favorite
place, though now it's much more painful at 12+ pounds.
She greets me in the morning (food time!) with a sweet bright eyed stare
and gentle little "squeaks". Though that is early, who could be mad at
her? When I come home at night, she rushes to the door of my neighbor
to meet with her unrequited love "Tom"... even though both are
neutered, they're passionate about each other! After the exchange (that
takes place with paws batting at each other under my neighbor's main
door), she comes back inside for a light dinner, which she enjoys with
her adorable little brother, Chompper. He eats her food, but she
doesn't mind, that's how patient and kind she is!
I get upset on weeks where I've been out too much, she'll seem sad and
grab onto me whenever she can. I'm usually stalked after showering and
then pounced on like a big mouse of sorts. I had a party at my house
during one of those such weeks and she made sure her presence was known
and that I better not ignore her! She's shy, that was very much out of
her character. Of course I didn't, who could ignore this beautiful and
tender face!
