Eeek, I am being a bit bad at updating this. Let’s see… I have been researching Sammie’s pedigree a bit, and hope to have that up here soon with information on some of her relatives. I figured out that she is an F6, and according to http://www.bengalpedigrees.com, is 12.5% ALC (”wild blood” for all of you non-bengal people), which is probably a low estimate since her extended pedigree is missing some kitties.
Sammie had a lazy Christmas, and just slept in her heated bed all day. Yes, she has a heated bed! She received a crinkle tunnel and some awesome (and cheap) plastic balls that she adores. Most of all she got to drink some bottled water… as Sammie is quite the Dasani addict and loves when she sees me take that blue bottle out of the fridge!
She will drink out of the bottle, but prefers if I fill the cap with the special treat, and then hold it for her while she enjoys. Now, if that doesn’t spell s-p-o-i-l-e-d I don’t know what does!
As for the heated bed I mentioned, Sammie took quite a liking to an old box from a grocery store. Gradual we added more and more to it for her comfort. It has a nice plushy cat bed on the bottom, and is topped off with a blanket that my mom handmade just for Sammie (even Grandma spoils Sammie). When the temperatures started getting colder, we got her a Pet Safe Universal Pet Bed Warmer, which is slipped under her blanket. Top it off with Sammie’s only treasured toy, which is her dirty bag of ‘nip, and you have a bed she can’t bear to leave!
Sammie says: “Shut up, it was a long night of Dasani drinking!”
Of course, that isn’t the end of the story. Sammie has discovered our 1000 thread count sheets, and now thinks that she has every right to lay in the human bed when the humans aren’t in it… including if one of them has just stepped out for a quick midnight bathroom stop! She has made making the bed quite impossible, too, with her desires to lay all over the feather bed, down comforter, and sheets when she has the chance.
Sammie say: “May I help you?”
Note in the picture a true spoiled cat heaven: heated cardboard box, Dasani water, and 1000 thread count sheets!
Anyways, this is all for now. I have so much to do to this site, and I hope to get the chance to make some progress soon!
