Missy And Her Turbo Scratcher!

I have been trying to get a picture of sweet Missy for a while now; she is always in the closet or on Toletia’s lap. But I got a good picture today, I saw her on her turbo scratcher, and I had Toletia take her picture with my phone. Toletia’s chair is right next to Missy’s turbo scratcher.

Now, about Missy, we adopted Missy 7 years ago, and she was 2 years old when we got her. That makes the beautiful baby 9 years old. Missy loves Toletia to the moon and back and always wants her on her lap. Missy will come up to me and rub on my legs and let me pet her, but she will not come up on my lap. I do have a keyboard on my lap at all times. But if I saw her moving my way, I would put it down in the blink of an eye.

Missy and I do have an understanding; she lets me pick her up, hold her, and give her pets. And we worked out a signal. Missy stays on my chest until she puts her head back, and that’s her signal to me that she wants down. Ssome times its after a few minutes, and other times it’s 10+ minutes. It just depends on her mood.

Having said all of that, we have had Missy so long that I don’t remember life before her. And I can’t imagine life without her, so I hope Missy lives to be 20+ years old.
