Mommy Blogging: 1 Year of Maggie, My Fur Baby

April 10th, 2010 by Barbara Doduk

On April 10th 2010, I adopted my fur baby Maggie The Cat (click link for more photos) from the Richmond Animal Protection Society’s Cat Sanctuary.

SNUGGLES!

She is a cute little black cat, and as we all known black cats aren’t always the first choice for people to adopt, but she was such a snuggly girl at the sanctuary that I thought her personality would be a perfect fit, as a buddy, for my now 13-year-old Bear Cat.

It didn’t take long for Bear Cat to warm up to his new buddy, and Maggie The Cat immediately felt at home. Bear Cat slowly taught her all his games & tricks.

Now the two of them play “chase me” and can be heard “murawahing” that unique meow that says, “Come find me” and then the run like mad cats around the house “chasing” each other.

Maggie The Cat now insists on coming under the bed sheets, just like Bear Cat does, to get bed time cuddles. Often stretching out next to me and staying there for hours. She is way more of a lap cat than Bear ever was though, and is always on the sofa next to me, or on me.

She is ultra frisky, and often can be found smacking cat toys up and down the hallway and around the living room, even picking them up in her mouth and carrying them to me while meowing. She enjoys the cat nip nights, and loves watching the crows and squirrels in the back yard through the windows.

Oh, and Maggie The Cat snores - loudly - and can be heard all through the house when she gets going. It is highly amusing.

A month after I adopted Maggie, I found out I was pregnant and I am happy to report that Maggie is brilliant - just as Bear Cat is - with the baby. In fact Maggie The Cat likes to get in some lap time even when I am holding my baby (who was born in January 2010) and well, Maggie will hop on anyone’s lap that visits me.

She truly is a darling cat, and I am so happy she is a member of my family.
