Okay I failed at this challenge already so now I have to catch up. I was really going to be on top of this, but then I got food poisoning the 2nd day so now I am going to continue it today.
The meaning behind my blog name is actually a really story. See back in 2004 I still lived with my parents in CA and had a regular Monday through Friday job that I wasn't really happy, but heck it paid the bills. What more can a single girl ask for right except for a million dollars and a man that loved her for who she was and didn't try to change her in any way.
My mom one day was outside in our front yard and saw a stray mommy cat with her kittens and noticed that she was moving them from the roof our house to another safe location. My mom thought nothing of it because we had strays in the neighborhood and just thought maybe the mommy cat was getting too warm up there with them. The next couple of weeks went by and then one night after it got dark my mom heard a little kitten meowing. At first, I thought she was going nuts and she then told me I am going outside. That is when she found this really small kitten sitting there in the grass crying for his mommy.
My mom brought it into the house and noticed that it's eyes were still closed and it still had the umbilical cord attached. Us being the cat lovers that we are said we can't leave this little guy outside all by himself, so with a little coaxing with my dad we kept this little guy. When we found him his ears were folded over a little bit, but all of the sudden they popped up like a mouse's ears did and that is how he got the nickname of looking like a mouse. We found out through my mom's boss that Meechi means cat it Kechwan and we thought it was perfect.
For the next 2 months I helped bottle feed this cat every night like it was my baby. He would sleep with me and wake me up when he got hungry. Now it is 6 years later and he still wants to be a baby. He is a big 15 pound baby but whenever I go back to visit my parents he is there waiting for me to snuggle every night with me.
