This
is Booger also known as Boogie, Boogedy Boo, Boogs. Before we got Booger,
I had to have my older cat put down due to renal failure. I thought I wouldn't
want another cat right away but after a couple of weeks knew I needed one to
help me heal. My daughters were teenagers at the time so I took them with me
to our local humane society. In this small cage were three little kittens, one
white, the other two gray tabbies, all clamoring "take me, take me!" As I went
closer I noticed this little tiny orange kitten in the back. Huge blue eyes,
white chin - I had to take him out. Such a sweetie! So we ended up taking him home.
After we got home, the girls were checking him over, playing with him and
trying to come up with a name. I told them whatever they came up with was fine
with me. He had a dirty little nose so they decided to name him Booger! I
think they were surprised I let them keep the name! Everyone always gets a
laugh because it is rather unusual.
Boogs is my lover boy. He is my constant shadow. No matter where I am in the
house, he has to be with me. A favorite thing is to plop right in front of the
computer screen or right on top of students' papers on my desk that I need to
grade. He loves to help me make the bed by pouncing at the sheets and
blankets. He also loves to help me whenever I have laminated items to trim up.
I sit in the middle of the floor and he plays with all the extra lamination
material to his heart's delight.
Booger was diagnosed with diabetes this fall so now he receives twice daily
insulin shots. I wasn't sure how he would take to being poked but he is such a
mellow guy, it doesn't bother him a bit.
Booger's best friend is my little black cat, Chuckie. They love to cuddle in
an antique cradle I bought especially for them. My husband thought I was crazy
buying a cradle for my cats but I knew they would love it!
