The Pet Blog Hop

My lovely blogging friend Karen at Karen & Gerard Zemek has a neat post about pets. Their dog, Abby Dabby Doo (don’t you just LOVE that name!) was featured in their local Ohio newspaper. So Karen decided to give every pet the chance to be famous with her Pet Blog Hop. It looked like fun (and was simple and easy on a Saturday morning), so I thought I’d “interview” my darling kitty, Livvy.

Pet’s Name: Olivia (Livvy is her nickname)
Age: 2
Breed/Type: Tabby-Point Siamese
Dines on: Purina One/Dad’s dry food; Friskies canned food
Favorite treat: Temptations and tuna
Occupation: Following Mom around to make sure she always has a companion
Favorite pastime: Watching the Outdoor Cats; chasing crickets
Best trick: Opens the door (the door handle is an old 1855 iron thumb latch). See this video of Livvy opening the door!!
Shared trait with owner: Sits in front of the computer screen all day :-p
Praise from the owner: I’ve never known such a personable, affectionate cat. She often nuzzles my face.
If you could change one thing about your pet: I wish she would stop trying to sneak outdoors. She’s horribly persistent and has given us some big scares. It ain’t happening, Livvy!

Livvy was a “rescue” kitten. Her mom is a lovely Siamese, but her dad is some roaming tabby cat. Therefore, Livvy and her siblings were cast-offs. I paid $25 for Livvy, two years ago! I’ve never paid for a cat before. After having her, I wish I had taken in her siblings. She is so incredibly affectionate, the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. And she sometimes “talks” to us with pulses of sounds.

10 weeks old.

Livvy is a polydactyl kitty, with six toes. This makes her a little klutzy sometimes.

Livvy's polydactly paw print is on top of one of the Outdoor Cats' paw prints.

You can really see her mittens here. This photo was taken after she dunked her foot in my coffee that was on my desk, shook her leg, and saturated everything. Grrr.

She has nice markings. She was much whiter when she was a baby; she’s darkened up a lot now. I think she looks like a Siberian tiger.

She's a MANIAC about going outside.

When she was little, she played Find the Kitty a lot.

She thinks she is invisible.

She’s a real companion cat. But she doesn’t like to sit on laps. She sits on keyboards. :-p

She's an aspiring writer, apparently.

Thanks for reading about our lovely Livvy!
