The Moonlight Prowl
Meet Dexter, the little Booger de Fois. He's the cutest little turkey there is. You know you're a cat-person when it doesn't really bother you that your cat wakes you up at rediculas hours of the morning because he wants to play with your hair, sniff your breath, or pat your nose. Yeah, it's annoying, but you just have to keep telling yourself, "But he's soooo adorable when he does that".
This kitty has tons of personality. He lives out in Montana right now, and is letting my parents rent from him in exchange for kitty nummies. He has his little 'Savannah' out in the back yard where he can keep an eye on grasshoppers, butterflies, and the neighbor's stupid dog.
Dexter wants his page to show off his aunts and uncles, and his late little brother, Kochka. My family has had kitties and puppies for ages, and we always tend to think of them as family. Besides Dexter, I have another little brother, Toby...but he's got his own page.
It all happened one day in 1993. We got a phone call from the family we had planned to get a kitten from and headed over right away. The Momma kitty was a Tortoise Shell Manx and the Dad was a loner...a rebel. There were three kittens to the litter. One with a full tail, one with half a tail, and one with no tail at all. We got the one with half a tail, and we're glad we did. For what he's lacking in a tail, he's made up for in personality.
How to Speak to a Cat
*Whot du mautters? (What's the matter?)
*Would it been kynans? (Are you crying?)
*Would it been ungies? (Are you hungry?)
*Would it been teepens? (Were you sleeping?)

*Yawnies (a yawn)
*I'm gonna put a bleed on you... (Your basic fair warning. Not being playful.)
*Bities (playful biting)
*Doo waddie doo (a feline sport. Rules are simple, find a small wad of paper and bat it around on the floor until it goes under the fridge or stove and then you sit and meow and whine until someone comes and either gets it out for you, or you get a new one to play with)
*Oh wanties! (I want that!)

*Is it 'citeds? (Are you excited?)
*Would it been ticked? (Are you mad?)
*Snark! (Usually said in the form of a four-letter "H" word that includes a vowell and a double consonent...hiss...)
*Come to muddah (Come to Mother)
*Snoochers! (Sort of a kitty way of saying, Bless You)
*Wanties the chee? (Do you want cheese?)
