We are family, get up everybody and sing.”

 

 

 

 

The people that live in my house are my mom, my dad, and my two sisters-Shauna and Lanna. I also have a couple of fat goldfish and a cat.

 

Notice that up ahead when I was naming everyone, the first person I named was my mom. Yes, there is a reason. She’s the dominant member of the household, and pretty much bullies everyone around. Unfortunately, there’s only one law where I live, and that would be my mom’s. Now, if it were my dad’s, everyone would be much happier. My dad is a lot more lenient, and likes to joke a lot. …some people think he’s creepy because of that, not to mention names (ha-ha). He works in China, so he’s not home half the time- leaving my mom really… mad all the time. He’s got this weird obsession with trying to get my sisters and me to memorize vocabulary words and to learn how to cook. (Hey, I’ve got some skill in the kitchen besides microwaving…) My oldest sister is Shauna, who is currently 18 and is a freshman at M.I.T. Plays the cello, knows the piano, little all-star role model kid. But she seems to have forgotten her family. *sigh* So usually, that leaves me with my mom and my second sister, Lanna. What fun! Lanna is 15, and is a junior at Enloe. No comment on her since most of you people reading this probably knows her. :-Ž

 

That’s my family, and then there’s my fish that don’t do anything, and my cat who is a ho. Or, at least she acts like one. Since my cat has a little bit more of an interesting personality than my fish, I’ll expand on her. Moosie is a little bit younger than one year old. She’s half Persian and Siamese, a mix of brown colors, and has really long hair. This is stereotyping, but uh, she’s got a really flat face, so we’ve decided that she’s an Asian kitty. Usually she’s really shy, so around strangers she likes to hide. My cat likes to strut herself in front of you, but once you bend down to pet her, she runs away. Then she comes back. Another one of her problems is that she never cleans herself, so she’s got all these knots in her fur and smells bad. That’s why she’s not my favorite cat of all the ones I've had before

Text Box: MiMi 

Mumu

Heh… here’s my story of my past cats. When I first got a cat, I not only got 1 cat, but two! I got two white cats- one Persian, the other half Persian, and half Himalayan. One male, one female. The male cat was called MaoMao, and the female cat MiMi. (If you’re Chinese, and you put it together, you should get it.) MiMi was what you could say, an elegant cat, she was always grooming herself and sunning herself outside; MaoMao was unfriendly, and would scratch, but he was really pretty- pure white with a gray mark on the top of his head. Anyways, MaoMao started marking his territory everywhere, so we sold him. About a week after he left, MiMi had three kittens- Frisky (Shauna named), Nemo (Lanna), and Cutie Pie (Me! I was only about 8 years old….). We sold all three, and so only MiMi was left. After awhile, everyone decided that MiMi was getting lonely, so we got a brown tabby cat with swirls all over her, and pink and brown pads on her feet- MuMu. No significance about the name this time, we were just following a pattern. This cat was a troublemaker; she’d claw everyone and walk on the table while we were eating. But, she was kind of my cat, she liked me the best. She’d sleep on my pillow and scratch my face when I tried to pet her. Anyways, so we sold her too. Then, MiMi died of pneumonia on Thanksgiving Day about 2 years ago. Because my dad was really sad, he didn’t want to replace her, and said that we weren’t allowed to get a cat anymore- something about how we never clean up the cat poop. But while he was away at China… we got Moosie. (Shauna named- she paid for half of her.) AKA, The Moose. My dad didn’t find out about her until he came home. Hehe.

The reason why the names are kind of weird is because that’s what my sisters and I would name our stuffed animals when we were small, dinky names like Moosie, or repeating names like MiMi, MaoMao, and MuMu. So there’s my history with cats. Dogs are evil. Whenever I think dog, I think dog poop.

 

 

 

MUFASA

Even though he’s really named Sat, my family renamed him to Mufasa. Why you might be wondering… stripes=tigers=lions=lion king. This is the cat we catsit. Heh.
