My Cat Profile
About Me
Active within 486 Days
Hi! My name is Boo
I am Domestic Mediumhair from Severna Park, MD
Nicknames: Boo-Boo, Baby, Boo-Girl
Age: 4 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: She is the sweetest, smartest, cutest, cuddliest cat in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!!!! :D
My favorite tricks and treats are: "I do high fives . . . but only when I feel like it. I play fetch when I'm in a frisky mood and I come when I'm called . . . Most of the time! :D " and "I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- VE SALMON FLAVORED TREATS! I also love to lick tuna cans(after the people have taken all the tuna)."
Where I hang out: "I love to lie down on Math books, puzzles, in boxes, laps, on bookshelves, on beds, and on my owner's backs and legs. Their feet are warm, too!"
My favorite grubs: "I love all food! In fact, they should feed me some more . . . (She's just kidding, we feed her plenty!)"
My pet peeves: She dislikes water, being woken up before her nap's over, not being the center of attention, and, occasionally, my Grandmother's dog, Cooper(he's a very sweet Golden).
What I love about my owners: "They are all so warm to sit on. Sometimes they are a little slow to understand what I'm telling them to do; but, for the most part, they seem pretty quick to learn. I have trained them well." :D
My cat hobbies: "I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE STRING!!!!! All kinds of string! You got string, I want string!"
Pet motto: "Feed me; Love me; Cuddle with me."

How We Met
Boo was the daughter of a stray cat who was taken in by a friend of the family's. We got her (for free!) when she was very young, and we've been convinced ever since that she's the best bargain ever! :D

Fall back tonight *"The times they are a-changing." -Bob Dylan ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨ ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time meanwhile flies, never to return" -Virgil ***"Lost time is never found again" -Benjamin Franklin ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨Back to Standard Time on 11/5/11¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨ We gain an hour of sleep this weekend!! Dayllight savings comes to an end at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning. With the clocks turned back, it will be less dark in the morning but darkness will fall earlier in the evening. Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico stay on standard time all year round. The concept of daylight-saving time may have first been proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 to the Parisians. The thought was that Americans would appreciate an extra hour of sunlight and conserve energy (candles and oil back then). Transitions may disrupt chronobiologic rhythms and influence the duration and quality of sleep as the effect lasts for several days after the shift. People who suffer with sleep disorders seem to find the bi-annual transitions more difficult. The extra hour of sleep means a lost hour of afternoon sun, which increases reliance on electricity and decreases the potential for, vitamin D-giving outdoor activities. Nearly half of the world’s population has lower than optimal levels of vitamin D, often called the sunshine vitamin. ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨Until March 11, 2012¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨ ¨‘°ºOOº°‘¨"Time is valuable, and when it is gone, it is gone.

Pow wow gathering "What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." - Chief Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator +*¨^¨*+-+*¨^¨*+November observances+*¨^¨*+-+*¨^¨*+ .....................Native American Heritage Month For millennia before Europeans settled in North America, the indigenous peoples flourished with vibrant cultures and were the original stewards of the land. From generation to generation, they handed down invaluable cultural knowledge and rich traditions. Against the odds, America's first peoples have endured, and they remain a vital cultural, political, social, and moral presence. The bridge to the 21st century rests upon the foundation that is built today. "Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect." - Chief Seattle +*¨^¨*+-+*¨^¨*+.......History - 1883.......+*¨^¨*+-+*¨^¨*+ U.S. Supreme Court decides Native Americans can't be Americans on November 3, 1883.
