Last week I posted a couple of pictures on Instragram.
I mentioned in the caption that Whiskers just might be my best cat ever.
Then I followed it up with a photo of Fancy saying, "Or maybe this jealous girl..."
~ Whiskers Jay and Fancy Jane ~
Well, that didn't sit so well with my girl C who happens to be Fancy's biggest fan. And she took it a step further and asked about each of the other cats we've ever had in the past, coming back around to wondering how I could claim that Whiskers was the best. Consider this questioning given the fact that Carrie actually witnessed Whiskers being born and gave him his common name when he was about five minutes old.
I love Whiskers. And maybe I feel a stronger bond with him because I've had to nurse him back to health a couple of times during his 9-lives. Once when he was eight weeks old and was first weaned from his momma cat {I carried him around for an entire weekend and forced kitten formula down his throat with an eye-dropper}. And there was the time he ate a yard of ribbon off my craft table and had to endure a horrific surgery to have it removed from his intestines. Ugh - that was awful! Anyway, I love that cat.
Funny how I feel like I have to defend my reasoning, and also that I feel a little guilty saying I have a favorite, because really, I do love our sweet Fancy Jane.
So, I'd like to know what you think. Do you have a pet {doesn't have to be a cat!} that really stands out in your mind as your best-pet-ever? And why was he/she your favorite?
