Our
old girl Peanut got her name rather unintentionally. We placed a
deposit with the pet shop to hold him and was told that the kitten would
be ready to leave it's mother and littermates in two weeks. We planned
to name him Simon, which we thought was appropriate for a Siamese cat.
When we returned to visit a week later, we were then told that we could
take the kitten home. What we also learned that day was, Simon was, in
fact, a female. Ok, no problem. We decided to change the name from Simon
to Simone.
Simone was extraordinarily tiny for an eight week old kitten. She was
so tiny that, when she would curl up into a ball to sleep, she could fit
in the palm of your hand. Within the first week, her size got her into a
bit of trouble. She somehow managed to squeeze through a small hole
underneath our bathroom vanity. It took us hours to find her, and when
we did, we couldn't coax her to come out. We had to tear off the wooden
face plate at the bottom of the vanity so that we could reach in and get
her out. Forever after, she became known as "The Little Peanut", and
the name somehow stuck.
Since then, we have had so much fun with her. Peanut plays fetch just
like a dog, and loves to eat chicken. She always seems to know when it
is being prepared in the kitchen. "Peany" sometimes shows us her love by
nipping at our ankles and always forgives us when we nip her tail in
return. She is still quite feisty and playful for her age and will
always be an irreplaceable part of our family. She will always be the
queen of our home, and we love her very much.
