10 Things You Don't Know About Gunnie

Hi Everyone,

Since my creepy destructive little sister Gabby posted her "Ten Things You Don't Know About Me", I thought I had better do the same as I am the Queen of this household and I rule it from on top the fridge.

Ruling From On Top The Fridge

1) My name is Gunnie and I am a "treataholic". I live for treats - salmon treats, tuna treats, chicken treats. I don't care what flavor it is as long as I get them a minimum of twice a day.

2) I am a laundry inspector. Every batch of freshly washed and dried laundry requires my personal inspection during the laundry folding process. I inspect best under a warm towel fresh from the dryer. Sometimes I fall asleep during my inspections under the towels, but that is a story for another day.

3) I am a rescue cat. My staff found me outside on a 95 degree day in the summer four years ago, when I was abandoned at about 16 weeks of age. I was skin and bones and would have done anything for a drink of water. She picked me up, fed me some food, gave me some water and I adopted her on the spot. We lived happily ever after until...... Gabby arrived!

4) I am a big sister - I don't want to be a big sister, but I am. It was forced upon me! One day we went to the vet to get a check up and the next thing you knew we were coming home with Gabby (see baby Gabby photo)-how could this happen you ask? My staff felt I was too lonely when she went away for the weekend for soccer tournaments and that I needed a friend. You have got to be kidding me! I was perfectly happy having the house all to myself. I got to lay on and where I wanted too, eat as much as I wanted, sleep all day and night and stick my head through the blinds to my hearts content with nobody yelling at me. Now I have to be a "role model" for Gabby.

5) You ask, how did you get the name Gunnie? I was named after a soccer team, "The Gunners". You see my sometimes rather dimwitted staff thought I was a boy for the first couple of weeks of our relationship and called me "Gunners". That is until the first visit to the vet when she found out he was a she, hence my new revised name Gunnie.

6) I like to take showers with my staff. I stand between the shower curtain liner on the edge of the tub and the outside shower curtain while my staff showers. I like to attack her toes when she is shaving her legs and when the shower is over I jump inside the tub and walk around in the water. I am very clean!

7) I identify humans by sniffing their nostrils...yep I put my nose right up to theirs and take a great big sniff. Way better than sniffing butts!

8) I am constantly trying to train Gabby to cover her poop in the box, really to no avail. So I go in and cover it up for her...she is a Pooper Loser with a capital P and a capital L !

9) I am addicted to my blue shoelace. I have had a really long navy blue shoelace since I was a kitten and I drag it around the house all the time. I cannot tell you how many times "Sammy" (the shoelace) has been rescued from the vacuum cleaners canister. Thank goodness my staff has thumbs!

Me and Sammy!

10) I like to lay on my back with my tummy exposed to the world, it makes me feel so free. Though my tummy is a "NO HANDS ZONE" to staff - do not touch the tummy or da feet or you will get a taste of my beautifully maintained nails.

I hope you now know a little bit more about me. I know Gabby told you she was single and available, but really why would want her when you can have the best-ME!

Yours in Fur and Kitty Kisses,

Gunnie
