Answer Your Cat's Questions Day 2016

Do you ever wonder what your cat is thinking? Answer Your Cat’s Questions Day is a chance to find out, and to answer some of their big questions.

Here are a handful of questions that I think Mudpie would ask me:

Am I the cutest kitty in the whole wide world?
Yes Mudpie, you absolutely are.

Out of all the homeless kitties out there, why did you pick me?
You know how I talk about your big sister Truffles all the time? Well, when she died my heart was absolutely shattered. When I saw Truffles on Petfinder two years ago her picture just grabbed me the minute I saw her, and I knew I needed to feel that "connection" to another little face again. When I saw you, it happened.

You talk about Truffles so much...do you love me as much as you love her?
Oh sweetie, I hope my talking about her doesn't make you feel that I love you less. Losing Truffles is still so fresh and so new...and I didn't have closure because I never got to truly say good-bye to her. Every kitty that comes into my life has a place in my heart where they live forever and ever. And in 5 short months I already can't imagine life without you. You make every single day so much fun!!!

Why did you name me Mudpie?
Actually, you picked it! I was debating between four names for you: Moxie, Mudpie, Smudge, and Mocha. The day you came home I tried calling you with all four names, and when I called "Mudpie" you looked at me as if to say, "Yes, that one!" You made a good choice because I think torties should have chocolate-related names :)

Why do you say you're gonna call the "cute police" on me? I haven't done anything wrong!!!

I say that because you're so criminally cute I think it might be illegal! (Don't worry...there's not really a cute police.)

I love all the fun toys you've gotten for me...playing with them is my favorite thing to do in the whole world! Do you like playing with me, Mommy?
It's my favorite thing to do, precious. I love seeing you so happy and having so much fun.

Even when I run the Mudpie 500 through the house?
Especially when you run the Mudpie 500...it's helping me to get through my NASCAR withdrawls. And when you race my favorite driver always wins :)

Uh oh...is it almost time for the new NASCAR season to start???
Yep! Just a few short weeks!!! Aren't you excited???

Um...sure, whatever you say, Mommy.
