Really, did you think anything else would work today? 7 #1 hits, best selling album of all time and one of the best pop albums ever. I was not a superfan, and his life got super weird, but he was extremely talented and pushed music forward with it. His talent will be missed.
We have had 3 cats for nearly 2 years now and I have to say that it is not as much work as you all think it is. However, the group dynamics have been bizarre for the past year. Mark and I have both blogged plenty about Hera and her mood swings which are not yet solved. More recently though, as in 3 weeks after Will was born, Star started peeing. After watching everything that happens around the house it is clear she does not like William and it isn’t getting better. Considering she pees in his room though, we just can’t have this. She needs a new home. Our hope is that someone is willing to give her a shot at a happy life. So let me tell you a little about her.
Star showed up at my Aunt’s house on the family farm, pawing at the door to get in the house. We only had Purrball at the time and wanted to get him a friend. For a while, we had planned on getting a young black british short hair, but when Star showed up, we had to rescue her. My stepmom named her Star for the white spot on her chest, but since that was “too normal” for us, we created the fullname of Monstar and continued to call her Star.
Star is a bit of an odd duck and I can’t quite explain why. She and Purrball became friends quickly, but she never really took to his rough playing tactics. She likes to be very independent, except when you’re ready for bed. Then she wants to lay on you for pets. She likes to play by herself by batting a little white puffball around or swatting at a fleece string. On rare occasions she feels freskie enough to jump in the air for the string.
Overall she is a fairly calm, independent, sweet, beautiful black cat. (Declawed, spayed, and litter trained for the record - well with the above exception.) We would really rather that she got to stay here and live with us, but we simply can’t have this behavior with a little one around now. If you would like to adopt her, please contact us (in the comments below if you want). Otherwise, please pray that someone wants to take her in so that she doesn’t meet the other fate that has been offered to us.
