A Shout Out to All My Fans

Well, Maggie just wanted me to tell y'all thanks for all of your adoration of her. She, of course agrees with you that she is worthy of great attention, as she spends a good deal of time admiring herself in front of whatever mirror she can find. She says thanks especially to Mrs. Susan for trimming her nails, and to Andrew and Pepper for giving her a fun mouse to play with.

I thought it appropriate, seeing as Maggie's blog is entitled, "Maggie Moo Where Are You?" to begin to answer that question for you. Here is a picture of one of the places we did indeed find our Mags - in between the shower curtain and liner. She has not quite figured out the "secret" of the shower curain, but if left open, will explore it until she can't find her way out and cries for me to help her! Keep checking back for more places we find Maggie!

Also, for your enterainment, I thought I would let you see a picture of her at play. She is difficult to photogragh, as she is so fast, but I will keep trying. Here she is about to attack her feather ball on top of the coffee table. This is about the greatest entertainment you could ask for. In case you were worried, she is back to her normal energetic self, after a little bout with kitten indigestion. Oh, and for your inquiring mind, Lisa, Maggie did have her first trip to the vet. She didn't like it at all - "you're going to stick that thermometer where?!" - but did get a bit of education in the waiting room watching a two-pound puppy growl at a German Shepherd! She was grateful to be in her cage!

Thanks for your continued support of our Maggie. Please come by and visit her - she promises to lay on your lap, purr for you, and maybe put on a show. But don't blame her when you don't want to leave! It truly is hard to say goodbye to her - but alas - until next time!

Lisa, This is for You

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a loving couple in possession of a good cat must be in want of a blog. For I am confident that this new creature, which has stirred up such love in our hearts, will do so in yours as well. So, without further ado, let me introduce Maggie, our 5-month-old brown-and-black tabby cat, which we adopted Friday in Brenham, Texas, not far from the famous Blue Bell factory. We have been told that Maggie was a stray kitten, brought in to the shelter, where she learned among other things, that humans make the best beds ever. They put her in our arms, and a few purrs later she was ours - the newest addition to the Jennings family. Besides being the cutest squirrel-colored cat ever, she has exceeded our expectations in both her love of playing and her insatiable desire to lay upon us. Her favorite toy is a little felt ball with feathers sticking out of it - and like a true hunter, she likes to mount her attack from inside the recliner! When she is tuckered out from a long 10 minutes of playing, she jumps up on our laps for a good kitten nap. Initially it was a bit of contention seeing who she would choose to nap on, but as we found out, if we sit close enough, she will sprawl over us both - proving that she is an equal-opportunity snuggler! When she gets in a curious mood, no place, high or low, is sacred. Maggie has no fear, especially of heights, so I have had to re-decorate my mantle to prevent her from leaping upon it! I could go on and on (I know you're already hooked) but I have a play date to get to.
