Mazzie

Since I wrote about Dottie yesterday, I decided to share the stories of the rest of our pets also.  So, we'll go in the order that they joined our family.  Dottie was first, but next we got Mazzie.

Matt decided he would love to have a cat.  At the time, the Humane Society here had a donor that paid for all adoptions, so we decided to look there.  We headed down there and Matt immediately fell in love with her and her tounge sticking out.  She hadn't been fixed yet, and they don't let you take home a pet that hasn't been fixed, so we would have to wait a couple of days but then we could pick her up at Wally's (a local vet that has low cost vaccinations and fixes pets at a low cost).  So the day we were to pick her up we headed down there.

We get to Wallys and they tell us that our girl cat was actually a boy.  Well ok that can happen.  Then they bring us a box with a cat in it.  I peeked in (thank goodness) to find an ORANGE cat.  Mazzie was grey (and a girl).  I speak up and say "this is not our cat".  So they take me to the back to look at all the gray cats and she isn't back there.  I end up spending the rest of the day calling the Humane Soceity and no one ever answers the phone.  So when Matt got off work, we headed down there.  Turns out someone had named the orange cat Mazzie also (even though it was a boy) and changed the names in the system.  Our poor little kitty didn't even have a name any more.  So they put her in the system as Gray Mazzie, and we finally got to take her home a couple of days later!

Mazzie's tongue frequently sticks out of her mouth and the vet says it's because she is missing some teeth in the front.  We aren't sure how old she is, but she is not a playful cat.  She is very serious and tolerant.  Matt and I frequently do things she doesn't really like, but she just gives us a look.  She never scratches or bites.  We get a lot of entertainment by where she decides to sleep.  It changes frequently and is sometimes quite strange!  I'll leave you with an example!
