Mittens Shadow

When you think of a shadow you usually think of a featureless shape. Something seen when the sun or a bright light is shining, creating a silhouette similar to the object in question. Or an outline form similar to you if you are looking at your own shadow. Not so with Mittens hers is in living technicolor. Calico to be precise, also a bit smaller. Keeping her from realizing how big she really is.

The shadow. (Mittens in the box)

Trying to get away.

When Mizz Purrzzy joined the family she was not readily accepted by one and all. Mama Mittens who gets along with most everyone took her in. Ever sense she has followed Mittens everywhere. Mimicking her every move. As you can see in the photos anywhere Mittens is Mizz Purrzzy is not to far away.

Play with me!

Mittens says "What again?"

Some times just as soon as Mittens would lay down, she would run up rubbing under Mittens chin, looking to get bathed. Eventually Mittens found this annoying. You could tell by the expression on her face, or by her trying to get away. Just like she was screening “I need some ME time”. Now with Pretty & Ugly hanging around more, Mizz Purrzzy has someone else to play with. Still Mittens has her shadow. So for Mittens here are the lyrics to her song.


Whatcha doing?

Mittens thinks she has gotten away.




Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
Cann't I eat in peace?

And when it's twelve o'clock
We climb the stair
We never knock
For nobody's there

Even when doing chores.

Just me and my shadow
All alone and feelin' blue

Play time!!!

And when it's twelve o'clock
We climb the stair
We never knock
For nobody's there

Can I have a bath????

Just me and my shadow
All alone and feelin' blue


Oh, all right... sigh.


Sometimes Mittens just wishes she could be all alone.

  5. The outside cats (Pretty, Ugly, & TJ) will play with Mizz Purrzzy. The Martian truly has no friends. He tries to join in sometimes but the others run away.
