Monkey.....

Monkey:

Monkey was by far, the homliest kitten you could ever see....he was so long, so skinny, and had ENORMOUS ears.....all of which made me fall hopelessly in love with him. As a youngin' he had a tendency to get tangled up in his super long legs, a problem that still haunts him to this day. Nope, Monkey is somehow missing the "graceful" gene common in the feline species.....though he grew up to be an alarming beautiful cat, he still trips over his own feet....falls out of trees....etc.etc.etc.

Monkey was also the scaredy cat...spent the majority of his young days huddled under the couch hiding from anyone other than me. Should have named him chicken.

Monkey was the complete opposite of Leo in many ways, but they were eerily similar in others. He was the timid shy one, Leo was the go-getter.....The two of them would go outside in the rain and Leo would return completely soaked and dripping with mud while Monkey returned spotless. Monkey was a bit of a priss back then....even refusing to jump down off of the fence if the ground was wet....he would instead, cry until I came out and plucked off the fence....thereby avoiding the whole wet paws thing.
And he was a whiner....constantly at my feet yowling at God only knows what. And should I be unwise enough to ignore him, he would attack me in mid-step, bite the back of my arm, and when really pissed....jump on the computer and scream in my face. High maintenance little pest I tell ya.
But I Love Him To Pieces.....
