And now presenting...

Buttercup!




This is Lullah's cat, Buttercup. He's one big ball of fluffy love. He really is the sweetest cat we own.

She'd broke her leg in 3rd grade and was home bound for 3 1/2 months. We'd been to the doctor and went by the pet supply to purchase some cat food. At the time we only had one cat, Popsicle, so I fed top grade cat food. (Those days are gone by the way). They had a litter of half persian kittens that were free with a $20 purchase.

One sack of Science Diet and a cat toy later, Buttercup was ours.

He sat in her lap pretty much the entire 3 1/2 months. When she finally had to go back to school he was miserable. He still whines for about a week when school starts after summer. I have to leave her door open, because he will think she's in her room otherwise. It is truly pitiful to see 15 pounds of fluff cry at her bedroom door.

We think he's beautiful, but that's just us.

At any rate, we love him.

Well, ain't he purty! All he needs is a mouse-tail hanging from his lips.

For our first cat, we went to a teacher friend's house. She had two litters. A little orange-striped guy crawled onto my son's shoe and looked up at him. "He's the best one, Mom. We have to get him." Every time we put that kitten back in the box, it climbed out and sat on his foot. Since he was obviously so smart, my son named him "Genius."

Lullah sat down with the kittens at the store and Buttercup climbed into her lap. He's been there ever since.
