I can't believe it...my little Brandy-candy's turned into a Cat.

It seems to have happened overnight. Kitten fluff has turned into a shiny,
sleek calico tuxedo with a soft white shirt-front. Of course, I should have
expected this, she's already a year and a half old for heaven's sake! But
I'm Die Katzenmutter, and like any old-country Mutti I keep thinking of them
as babies. But all of a sudden, the baby-fat's melted off--something I have
been trying to do unsuccessfully for thirty years--and our Baby Girl is now
toned, fitter than she looked a few months back. I figure it must have come
from wrasslin with Stosh, and playing Chase with Odessa, one of the
Tsarina's favorite games. And I have cat-envy again! I bust my tuchus doing
yoga and I go to Curves, and boy do I have curves! Too many of them, damn
it.

But man, has she become a beautiful cat. Don't get me wrong, I think she
knows she's the Baby so she can work the Cute like The Donald works money.
She still has the wide, big button eyes, and the paws that look a litle too
big, and the huge tail that's smooth and sleek but fluffs as big around as
the rest of her when she gets spooked. I so wish I could get my kitty
pictures scanned and into someplace where you can see my babies. And yeah,
they're still babies, even now that they're all cats.

Blessed be,
Baha

Hey, it's *good* to have curves - *lots* of men prefer them ("bones are for
dogs, a man likes meat!" as DH says).  He really doesn't like my figure as
well as when I was fat - but he accepts it because I'm so much healthier now
than I was when I was *way* too overweight.

Yeah, someone chided me recently for equating cats with human babies, but to
me they *are* my babies (even when the grandbabies are here!).

This is one of those culture-shock things I had to learn about, getting
married into an Indian family. I won't say that the Punjabi people aren't
cat-friendly, but the Punjab is the "breadbasket" of India and cats are less
pets than farm-workers, kept to catch mice and rats and keep them out of the
grain. I've been told that the culture in that part of the world is a
d*g-lover's dream. Doc-Sahib used to shake his head at me and mutter
impolite things when I went on and on about the cats. He shut up after
learning I can't have kids.

Blessed be,
Baha

Just takes a little time for them to acclimate.  My grandparents thought
cats were only for controlling the mice too.  The Sikh family here I know
best has a beautiful white Persian type cat.  The kids fell in love with her
as a kitten and like kids everywhere begged.  Now their grandma spoils her
as much as they do.

DP found this because the guy who first found our bitties in the trash
was a student from India.  He wasn't inclined to actually /do/ anything
about the cats himself, but he knew that in Canada, people didn't let
tiny kittens sit about like that so he went into the lab and asked "did
anyone leave kittens outside?"

His co workers promptly told him not to tell DP :)

But too late. :)

I don't think he understood at ALL DP's urge to take them home and
nurture them.
