Miss Lucifina Barbie Butt......
Where it all started....with one darling little grey kitten and her frighteningly enormous green eyes. Little did I know what adventures would await me when I brought little Lucie home.....in all her fuzzy cuteness. She is an odd one, always has been......no doubt she will continue to be. Once you get used to her perpetual look of utter shock/surprise/deathly fear/tail in light socket/large stick up the butt (take your pick), you will find that she is an absolute sweetheart.....well I did anyway....she's my little girl. But, like all the other felines I have ever been owned by, Lucie has her share of quirks and pet peeves as well.....
Tape-o-Phobia:
Lucie has an irrational fear of tape. Any kind of tape...masking tape, duct tape...but the one most feared is without a doubt ....packing tape. Exactly how this phobia came about is unclear, but I speculate that it has something to do with an incident early in her kitten-hood involving my sister and a roll of scotch tape. At any rate, anyone attempting to use this type of adhesive in the vicinity of Lucie, will get the joyous pleasure of watching her come completely unglued. First...she warns you with a brief "acking" noise.....followed by a not so brief "acking" noise.... which becomes louder and longer and louder and longer should you continue to violate her "no tape around me" rule. If that does not work, she will howl rather harshly and perhaps even take a swipe at you to get her point across. This behavior is almost always followed by a dramatic exit and several days of "the kitty cold shoulder" as punishment .....
Other items that have the tendency to start a Lucie Riot include....wrapping paper, tissue paper, the crinkling, tearing, or shredding of any kind of paper....the opening of an envelope, the unwrapping of a gift....you get the idea.
Lucie's "tape-o-phobia" makes it rather difficult to open mail, package things for sending, shred paperwork, use anything that comes packaged in cellophane.....and wrapping presents is strictly prohibited....you can, however, use a nice gift bag if you are careful not to overdue it on the tissue paper.
Beeee-Rushes:
This is pretty straight forward.....Lucie LOVES to be brushed.
That's it....
