Part 2 of our cats this Is Buttercup

Think I will do this differant so I can share some photos of them better. Anyway this is Buttercup, we don't know if she was dumped here or she got away, but she was a very scared little girl, she was maybe about 3 months old here. At the motel between Pay N pack there was a lot of rocks, also were the rock chucks hide and hybernate in the winter I guess, anyway she found herself a small little opening were she would hide and sleep, only come out when she thought the other cats and no one else was around, we put food out there for her so we would watch her thru the back screen door. Nevada fell in love with her from the first time he layed eyes on her, he said to me look at those blue eyes, we just have to catch her.

So the challenge of catching her was on, He built a little round wire fence with a hook and string to a door, we put food in there and watched her for several days. And finally we were able to catch her in the pen, Oh my, talk about a fight she put on,I very carefully approached the pen and started talking to her , she didn't know what to do, tried to scratch her way out of the pen, well we had to go to town so thought well lets get ready and give her some time to relax, not sure about sticking my hand in there. Anyway Nevada went in and took a shower, by the time he was done i was in the house with her all wrapped up in a towel, she had gotten all wet in the water dish i had out there for her. Did she like being held like that , well if purring ment anything i think she did.So here is Nevada with his blue eye girl.

Because we didn't know how she was going to be with the other cats and not being house broke yet we kept her in the bathroom for some time, she loved this little basket, also loved to sleep in the sink.





Well here she is all grown up and yes she still loves the sink, here she is in the new motor home bathroom sink.

Hi Lilli,
Love this pic of Buttercup. Yes, she looks like Caillou, but I don't have him anymore. BooHoo! I had to give him back to his real Mommy cause I was just keeping him for her until she got a house. I had him for about two years though and boy was he a charmer.
