Here comes Bootsy...

First, one must know that there has not been a cat in the Randquist home for over 10 years.  But before that, there was always a cat... at least one cat, if not more.  In January Ron and Jane had to pick up a kitten in Layton for Janes mom 
and they were unable to make it.  So one morning I drove to Layton to pick up this cat.  Well the cat had to stay at our house that day until evening when Jane came to pick it up.  Jessica and William LOVED having a cat at the house...  Jessica would say Ki Ki...  and pat her knees and make kissing sounds to try to get the kitty to come to her.  The kitten hid under the couch the entire time.  After Jane had taken the cat home, the next day Jessica was looking all over for the Ki Ki...  Well Grandpa is a softy and after a few days he gave into William and Jessica's desire for a cat.  So now we have Bootsy. 

She is a great cat!  She is 10 years old (only had the one owner before us), litter trained, declawed in front, fixed, shots up to date, and even microchipped.  The best thing was that we got her for free.  :)  When we picked her up the owner told us that Bootsy only weighed 4 lbs.  She was so boney....  it was almost sad.  I guess they had two large dogs that wouldn't ever let the cat near her food so she didn't eat too often.  This has changed!  Bootsy eats a ton and she isn't all bones anymore.  

She loves to sit on Grandmas lap while she is reading a book and will jump up on Grandpas lap when he is relaxing in his chair.  She stays away from Jessica and is getting better with William.  She likes to sleep with me or Grandma and Grandpa.  The kids love her and its been fun watching them with her.  William even feeds her without me asking him too, not sure how long that will last.. ;)   We are excited about having Bootsy.  I have missed having a cat in the house.  But once again, my life will allow it!  YAY FOR US!
