Flashback Feline Friday: Best of Mudpie 3

Meows from Mudpie!

A couple weeks ago for our "Best of Mudpie" series leading up to my 5th Gotcha Day in August we told you about the day I got my all-time favorite toy, an animal print mousie we lovingly refer to as Baby.

Life with Baby was nearly perfect for a year until tragedy struck. Late one night when Mommy went to bed Baby and I were playing in the living room. I was picking her up in my teeth, tossing her in the air, not a care in the world. The next morning we woke up to find her face down in my water bowl. 

Photo recreation minus the water

She had sopped up every last ounce of water in the bowl. She was saturated! Apparently I had bopped Baby into the water while playing and then gone off to bed. Mommy said I wasn't a very responsible caretaker, but I think I was in shock.

Mommy dove in to save her before I hyperventilated. After wringing her out we had to find a place for her to dry *sob*. Hanging her outside wasn't an option because it was raining, plus I feared some klepto squirrel might take a shine to her! Mommy tried hanging her on the bathtub rack but in no time I had pulled her down.

We ended up having to hang her all by herself inside the screen door where I couldn't get to her, and I spent the day howling and searching for her in the bathroom...

Thankfully Baby made a full recovery and we've been spending long, blissful days playing and napping together ever since. 

Don't we make a cute couple? Our colors even match!
