[BBK-001] Why BooBooKitties (BBK)?

You may be asking why we like to be called "BooBoo Kitties" aka "BBK". -- The answer is simple: We got the name from our friend Marilyn DeA. -- She worked with LW (remember him: our (human) partner?) when she arranged for us to be "adopted" by him -- 10 years ago (May 20, 1998). -- He had just returned from spending a year+ in the UK, moved into a new condo, and finally had outgrown his allergy (asthma) from cat hair (but not chicken feathers!). We found this out, because Marilyn used him as a cat-sitter several times & LW did not die a wheezy death -- so, NO PROBLEM! -- Marilyn DeA already had 2 BooBoo Kitties named Muffin (aka "Muffy") and Figment (aka "Figgy") for whom LW cat-sat. She helped LW pick us out of our Momma's litter (I don't remember my siblings -- except they were always hungry and kept shoving and jumping on me at din-din time...). -- Our Momma was partnered with a real stoner chick who said, "yeah, man, like, ya know, that black 'un (Me) is like a gal-cat, ya know, and well, like, the beige one (Dijon) is the other one which ya can have, like, Ok, man? Coooool!" -- So, LW & Marilyn DeA picked us up from Momma (who was lying out in the grass) & put us in a cat-carrier. -- It was pretty scary, because we were so little -- only about 7-8 weeks old then (see our cute photo in the Sidebar). I remember hugging Dijon all the way to LW's place. (Next time: A photo of Marilyn DeA, Muffy & Figgy ([BBK-002]) and [BBK-003]: "Welcome to our new home") -- Monaco [it's 1 hour & 23 minutes & 18 seconds until i get my Gerber babyfood fix!]
