why Snooks hated me for a week

oh Snooki...

she definitely hated me for about a week.

she had to go to the vet to get fixed on wednesday. i picked her up thursday morning. and i thought, oh good lord what have i done to my cat.



all loaded up & ready to go



 maybe I should explain why...

I registered her to get fixed with a clinic. so, it was $25 for the sterile feral treatment. spay, rabies shots, & her ear clipped. why the ear clip? well, so if she were to ever get out, they would know she belongs to someone.

my friend, Katie, (hi Katie) called it the back-alley spay. haha. I didn't know it would be a ton of other animals. there were probably 10 other cats & 15 dogs. and we dropped off at 7:00 am wednesday. they loaded them up in a box van & took them to springfield (like 45 minutes away). then picked up the next morning.

when i brought her home, she was all out of sorts. I assume from the medicine. but seriously, she was pissed. like super pissed. hated me. wouldn't even look at me. she darted down the basement steps the second I unloaded her from the pet carrier.

we found her laying in a laundry basket when we got home thursday evening. we brought her upstairs, and she was sitting with Liv for a bit. then she was gone.

i found her in the closet.

Snooki says, "I hate you people. I can't even stand to be around you."

 the next day, was better. here she is with Liv.

Snooki says, "I love Olivia, but I hate you crazy woman. Don't even look at me."

 and the next morning. more of the same. she would literally see me coming & turn her head.

and now here we are a week & half later. and she is back to being my little snuggle girl & just mildly bitchy. just like me.

1 for us 15 for her

Miss Snooki has been a part of our family for 1 whole year. That's 15 in cat years. She is still quite a snuggler. She isn't scared of people. She plays with the girls. She sleeps with Olivia for a little while each night. The rest of the time she is perched on the back of our loveseat (see below).
Snooki is great. She isn't high maintenance at all. She rarely makes any noise at all. She loves to eat, particularly Meow Mix. And she is kind of crazy because she will just cry at her dish or get all under your feet if she can see any part of the bottom of her food dish. She is on her way to be chubby gal. I love her.

this kitty has brought so much joy to my Olivia...not so much Rachel. but Olivia LOVES Snooki.

now if I could just get Snooki to not chase Rachel up the hallway every single time, maybe Rachel would love her as much as Liv & I do.

say hello to my little friend

That title made me laugh - haha! I said it with an Italian/mobsteresque accent, you all should too. It will make you laugh. Anywho...

Since the doggy didn't work out, I have had one broken-hearted little girl on my hands. Not to mention an immense amount of guilt. And I think I have found the answer to Olivia's prayers...

I may or may not have named her Snooki...Ok, I did name her Snooki. She is orange just like Snooki's tan. I love the name. She was free, & she is so lovey dovey. And we are all happy. Well, maybe not Jarrett. He didn't want a cat. But we took a vote, 3 to 1. He lost. He should get used to that. Haha - that also made me laugh.

Welcome to the family Snooki Totten. We love you already.
