CCR Crazy Cat Ladies

My mother is a certified CCR (crazy cat lady). For as long I've been on this earth, there has always been a cat in the family and I'm talking a member of the family cat. Most memorable of these was Michael… Michael J. Cat whom was not only around for my most primitive childhood years in Oklahoma, but endured our move to the 'big city' in my tumultuous pre-teen years in Colorado Springs. He passed the winter of my 7th grade year. Remains to be a hard subject for me to touch on, but I can say the burial was bittersweet under a lone tree in the country which my father obligated to drive us too. Now, that's a man to live up to.Celine Dions "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" playing as my sister and I silently tear up on the car ride back……But this brings me to the Giddy Kitty.

The Giddy Kitty is a cat which came into my mothers life my freshman year of college; my first year away from home…in comes Giddy. Giddy was and remains to be a handicapped cat who cannot walk but has adapted to getting around by pulling himself by use of his front claws… wait people. I'm telling you this little guy is spoiled! And very graciously loved indeed. He's got more luxuries than my sister and I ever had and we were two spoiled little brats for sure. I'm saying this little guy has it all and has been some places too. I cannot begin to describe the bond mom and the Giddy have, but you can imagine. I have never seen a women pamper and love a cat as much.

Then there's George….oh my George (Harrison) the cat. Dare I say? I'm becoming My mother!I do believe nothing could ever replace the reign in which my mother has achieved; Queen of all CCL for sure.

I can tell you ladies if you're out there looking for a man to accept you and your beloved cat habit you must reform a man or like me find one that has come from the same upbringing. Yes people, we have CCL's on both sides. The kids, even my beefcake son is doomed to a world of CC lovers. Amazing to me how these little fur balls can have such an impact on our lives, so my question to you is what's your influence with our furry friends? Did your mother ever refer to your cat as your brother?
