[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.
