While I was considering topics to post this morning, I watched my kitty playing with her pet string. Yes, I said "pet string". She has an old shoelace she plays with, and when she's done playing with it, she takes it to the sink or to her food dish and leaves it there. I'm not sure if she's trying to feed it or what.

Anyway, I decided that I'd share some of my favorite photos of my beloved monster with you this week. So please, allow me to present to you:

13 Photos (and Videos)
of Sophie "Doodlebug" Menozzi

Instant "WUV"!
1) *BONK*
The headbutt of love.
This was what, essentially, persuaded us to adopt her on her the spot.

One day, this whole sofa will be MINE!
2) Sophie explores the sofa.

*BOING*!
3) *BOING*!

So very "squee", no?
4) One of my favorite photos of my Doodlebug, taken the night after we adopted her.

Picture
"I'll do anything you want. Honest."
5) Doodle (as we call her) had to have medical attention - in the form of drops put in her ears - shortly after we adopted her. It was, needless to say, a challenging process. Our solution? A pink towel. Less painful all around, even if it was a two-person operation.

*GRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrr...*
6) Occasionally there were disagreements.

(It's hard to believe she was ever this tiny.)


Picture
"Feed me or DIE. The choice is yours."
7) At one point, I woke up to this face every single morning.

8) Doodle grew more vocal over time, too.
Picture
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Worship me, instead."
9) Moody portrait of a kitten.

Mutually beneficial. Warmth for all!
10) Now that winter is here, this is how we're spending every night.

Bliss.
11) This is what she's doing right now - and where she's doing it, too.

12) This is how we spend much of our time, in one way or another.
13) And, finally, I want to share the first video I ever made of my Doodlebug, one day after she joined us.


And there you have 13 Photos (and Videos) of Sophie "Doodlebug" Menozzi.







I hope you can forgive me this indulgence.














I just wuv my kitty so much - even though she's a tremendous pain in the tushie sometimes.






















And hey, who can resist a cuddly kitty?




















I know you can't.

Miao - I mean - Ciao for now!
