My New Little Friend!

[The_Bumble_Bard]

Hello friends! 😊

This seemed like the best place to share this since technically this isn’t uke-related, but it is an introduction. I wanted to share my new little friend with you! I don’t have everyone’s email or anything here, but this was pretty special and wanted to share it. Obvs, the main point of Rock Class 101 is uke-learnin’ and -sharin’ (and I’ll have something on that vein to share soon, even besides the monthly challenge song) but by proxy she will be a RC101 member because I’m sure she’ll appear in my videos going forward! 😂😻

Her name is Mowgli. I adopted her from a family member because she wasn’t getting enough attention from them (due to work and things), which is why I could even afford her – they already had everything she needs. Also, I didn’t name her, my niece and nephew named her, but I’ll probably end up calling her Mowgs, as I like to do, weirdly shortening words / names. 😂

She’s a baby princess angel biscuit-makin’ snuggle-muffin queen (angel)! 😂😻🥺 It’s kind of a big deal for me to get a cat, since I haven’t had one for over ten years. So, as with everything, I am overly emotional about it still.

She also doesn’t seem to mind my uke-playing, so that’s a good sign. She rubbed my uke, so it’s blessed! Okay, that’s all! I hope it’s okay that I shared this here! 😂

Hi @The_Bumble_Bard,
congratulations on your purrfect furry friend. She is lovely and seems to know she is at home.
Looking forword to meet her again in your videos here.

[The_Bumble_Bard]

@janaq1, thank you so much! She truly is purrfect, I got so lucky adopting the sweetest little friend! 😻 She was half an outdoor cat so the fact that she’s adapting pretty well to being inside is such a good thing! It’s only been a few days so hopefully she’ll only continue to feel more and more comfy here! Although I have been devising plans to take her outside, perhaps on a leash or in a cat stroller, I don’t even care anymore “if” I look crazy! 😂 But actually I’ve definitely seen other people around here walking their cats, anyway. Thank you, I’m sure she’ll be making cameos pretty often, even if it’s with her melodic chirps! 😉😂😻

@The_Bumble_Bard Aww your new friend is sooo damn cute! 💕😻 Everytime I see a cat, my life gets a bit better, haha. I hope we can see her in some of your videos! 😊

Shes so sweet and beautiful eyes. Can’t wait to see her in more pics. She looks young still. I know she’ll get the needed attention and bring you love and companionship. What fun to have someone to greet you at home. Welcome Mawgs to the RC101 family. ❤️👏🐱

@johanna2509, thank you so much, she is so beautiful and sweet and cuddly! She’s also a lil’ wild cat! Still adjusting to that part. 😂 I feel the same way, but this one I get to keep and not just look at! 😂 I think you will see her for sure. Every time I sit down she wants to cuddle. 😻

@leb397, thank you so much, friend! 😊🥰 Adopting her and adjusting to her being here has been an incredibly emotional experience, if I’m being honest. Like I said, she was an outdoor kitty before, so I was very worried about that and if it would be stressful for her. It is a huge adjustment for her, but praying it continues to go well. There have been a few times where she seemed anxious but I guess that makes sense. Having her here is really so comforting and having her greet me when I get home is very special indeed! 😊 She thanks you for your welcome! 😂😻

Here are just a few more:

Oh I forgot to mention. The family members who had her would always put a towel on their laps when they pet her due to allergies. But now those are her “cuddle/comfort towels” that they gave me and I think that helped a lot with the transition for her. She still loves to lay on them, so presh. 😂😻😥

@The_Bumble_Bard Aww more pictures! 💕😻 She indeed is precious and cuddly! I can tell she loves you too and that she already feels home. 😊 She even shows you her tummy. 💕
Fun fact, the danish call the toe beans “trædepuder” which translates to something like tread pillows and I think that is super cute! And the norwegians say “poteputer” which means paw pillows. 😻

@The_Bumble_Bard: Oh, what a little sweety-heart! You’re blessed, and so is she, to have found such a loving home. She’ll adapt to being inside – cats make sure they get the exercise they need by getting the zoomies once or twice a day – and she’s much safer that way. (I learned that the hard way – two cats over the years, both Maine Coons, insisted on being outside and lived the good life until taken by critters.) How lovely that she likes your playing – I’ll expect to see her video debut soon!

[The_Bumble_Bard]

@johanna2509, thank you so much for that! That makes me so happy that you think that, too! She is so precious and cuddly but now the mischievous / hyper / playful side of her is really starting to come out! 😂😳 She loves to have her tummy pet and it’s as wonderfully fluffy as it looks! 😂😻 She also loves to be brushed which not every cat does, but that’s helpful to keep the fur under control a bit! I love those terms sooooooo much!! Oh my. “Paw pillows” is my favorite!! Thank you for sharing that! 😂😻

@grannieannie, thank you so much for your encouragement! 😊😻 It has been waaaaaaay more of an adjustment than I ever imagined having a kitty; it has already been a journey, but it’s been so worthwhile to have a little friend. She is so sweet. Thank you, just as you say that, she has started to have “zoomies” more now! 😂 I also try to play with her every day, usually a few times per day if I can to get some of her energy out. I’m so sorry to hear about the kitties you had that passed that way. 😟 That’s why I wouldn’t let her out especially where I live where it isn’t as rural as her previous home. But even there, she had a brother who also was an outdoor kitty who was hit by a car. After he was gone, she became very desperate for attention and lonely and that’s another reason I took her in so she could get more cuddles and attention than they could give her. So yes, every aspect of having her has been extremely emotional, yet beautiful and special. I sorely underestimated all of it but I’m glad to have her. 😂😻😥

I’ll probably end up uploading more pictures of her here because I’ve taken “a few” since I’ve had her. 😅 I send them to my sister a few times per week because she’s also obsessed with cats. 😂😅 But I think you’ll see her in my videos for sure! 😊

Yay!! Congrats @The_Bumble_Bard on your new beautiful kitty! I hope he does make many appearances in the videos to come!

[The_Bumble_Bard]

@jbmills07, thank you so much, Justin! She definitely will appear, but maybe not as aerobatically / epically (?) as Ziggy does! 😂 Mowgli is a very sweet and cuddly kitty. 🥰

I saw your take on Lacrimosa last month but for some reason when you first posted it, YouTube wouldn’t let me open it / comment on it. But that was very beautiful and moving. I also saw your take on April Smiles, so very beautiful! You have a way of drawing out the beauty of music even more. 😊

I’m also working on April Smiles and was pretty worried because I hadn’t gotten to start it until today but playing through it tonight it’s not as bad as I thought as far as difficulty. The tricky part will be layering the parts for me. 😂

Anyway thank you for appreciating my new feline friend! I love her. 😂😻
