This Week in Libertyland 8/6/12

A Strange Creature in Our Home

I'm a ferocious bear.

Most people think cats are possessed.  Now that Liberty is getting to a normal age when you would get a kitten, we are finding we have a bundle of dynamite.  Since, we first got this poor abandoned kitten on the 4th of July as blogged about on July 7th's post.  Liberty has had a place not only in our family's life but in my blog.  She is at that stage where she will attack everything that moves.  Fingers, hands and feet are often favorites of hers. These attacks prevented me from playing Tetris on Tetris Friends.  Check out the "Liberty, Not Again."  When she was that small kitten it wasn't too bad but she is getting lethal now.  We now try everything to divert her attention to different objects.  Objects like the cellophane kitty lure in which Liberty showed her stuff in "Libertyland." 

Our children taught us to passionately dislike a couple of things as they were growing up.  Okay let's call it extreme irritation.  One was McDonald's Happy Meals.  Mostly because of the toys.  They had to have those toys.  Toys were strewn about our cars and house.  Most of them were scooped up years ago and sent to storage making way for newer toys.  A second thing that many parents hated were Beanie Babies.  These under stuffed dolls were all the rage at one time.  Small replicas were even given out as McDonald's Happy Meal toys.  When my daughter graduated from high school a friend gave her an old McDonald Beanie Baby bear.  This has become Liberty's newest victim.  

Flashing in before it gets away.

Don't move you're mine.

A three second pin.

The poor little bear is over matched.  But he never complains and every time he is attacked we aren't.  Just watching Liberty is entertaining.  She bats, pounces, and chews that bear.  

Don't try to escape silly bear!

Why are you still smiling?

T-Rex eat your heart out.

555yhhh, that was typed by the kitten who dived at my fingers while I was typing.  She can manage to play with the bear for an hour at a time before losing interest in it.

Now you will be a pillow

Liberty, found on the 4th of July, is a firecracker.  She is active and cute doing it.  Then once she is done and played out she finds a place to relax and take a cat nap.

Who is she attacking in her dreams?

Thank you wondering how Liberty has been doing.  I will try to get a few more pictures which I can keep satisfying your Liberty interest.
