"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
“Help. Me.”

OMG! And I thought I was the only one with insane animals and children. Help the poor kitty Suzanne. LOL
I have a new stealth kitty in my house who is currently terrorizing my dogs. She’s 9 weeks old and I swear my poor dogs have gone into hiding. They are so afraid of stealth kitty!

See, I figure the cat’s looking at you and saying, “You have two seconds to get this kid to let me go, or I’m shredding her like Ollie North’s secret documents.”
:yes:

‘Look how big I am’ says the kitty. Or is it ‘in 3 I’m going to be doing a somersault
and you won’t see me for the rest of the day’; 1, 2,…

You might have saved him, but who named the poor guy “Buttercup” anyway??? :wigglebrow:

Awww….cute.
Yeah..he looks a little tough to be a “Buttercup”.

He’s one of the Powerpuff Girls–Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. (What? You all don’t watch this fabulous cartoon? YOU DON’T HAVE THE BOARD GAME??) We have a female dog named Blossom, and we had a female cat at the time named Bubbles. Unfortunately, Buttercup is a boy–but, you know, that didn’t stop us from filling out our Powerpuff Girl roster. We needed a Buttercup. He got stuck with it.
I think it’s why he’s perpetually cranky. Being a big male cat named after a Powerpuff Girl will do that to a guy. :wall:

Does she dress him up in doll clothes and make him ride around in a baby stroller, too?

What? You couldn’t name him Professor? Or Mojo Jojo? *snickering*
Buttercup it is.
I don’t think kids ever get over the fact that all the animals are simply alive toys. My kids are using our latest arrival, Toby-the eight week old wonder, as a slingshot. The oldest wraps a hair wrap around him and then watches as he freaks out trying to get it off. Cheap entertainment, yes. :yes:
But at least she’s not bothering me.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LOL the poor kitty. Glad you saved him. Great picture. And yeah a big boy kitty with a powderpuff girl name, might be a little bit cranky.

I tend to keep children away from my cats. not having any living here makes it easier. when I got my first cat, and he was a kitten, I had an instance where I walked in and saw a little boy holding my cat up by the end of his leash. My cat was looking at me like “HELP … AIR!” After that experience, I tend to keep all kids away.
