For those of you who think that being a cat mom means I don’t have to deal with all the neighbor kids, you’re wrong!  Mrs. B has a very active social life which includes a long line of boyfriends.

Her first and our favorite was Momo, a very sweet red head. 

He was a younger man who swept Mrs. B off her feet when he was a mere six months old.  Despite the fact that it was a May/December romance Jerry and I approved.  We loved Momo and he loved us, although Momo’s attachment to us probably had a lot to do with the abundance of treats he received from the Jessopland lauder. 

Then there was the charcoal grey hunk that had a keen resemblance to many of Mrs. B’s kittens.  Like his illegitimate children he has a fear of humans, so no picture.  He was also kind of a jerk so I can understand why Mrs. B didn’t keep him around long. 

Lately Mrs. B’s recent squeeze is a cat we have named Poindexter. 

Don’t let the picture fool you.  He may look cute here but Poindexter is just very photogenic.  He’s actually rather unattractive in person.  He has an oversized head that does not go well with his super skinny body.  He also does not make a very good first impression.  The first night we met him we made the mistake of inviting him in the house and he promptly peed on the dining room floor.  As you can imagine that did not go over well.  There is only one furry faced male who pees in this house and even he would not consider doing so on the dining room floor.  (Also he’s not a feline.) 

Peeing episode aside we have come to like Poindexter almost as much as Mrs. B who is quite smitten with him and always makes sure she looks her best before she goes out to see him.  Seriously!  A few months ago Mrs. B begged to be brushed and when I was done she went straight to the back door to go outside.  When I let her out I saw Poindexter sitting there ready for their date. 

I’m telling you, parenting a cat with an active dating life is tough!
