I was way too busy at Cape Blanco to blog. That place is a cat’s dream come true.
As soon as we pulled in a shrew literally landed in my mouth! And the fun never stopped.
Bunny rabbits, mices, birds and more all came to visit me!
Lots of grass and bushes to play in. If it wasn’t for my darn people working at the lighthouse a few hours a day, I could have spent my entire time outside playing!
And then I was harshly taken away, and it’s not been the same since.
17 days in a gravel lot in Sacramento is pretty boring for a cat like me. I hate walking on gravel, it hurts my paws. There’s nothing to chase, and I even resorted to frolicking in a DOG PARK just to see grass?!?
Oh goodness. So humiliating.
But was even more humiliating?? Chris brought home a TEDDY BEAR from his storage unit!
And he wanted me to snuggle with it??
Um.
That darn bear wouldn’t leave me alone. I’d go to my secret hiding spots, and it would be waiting for me.
But you know what, it’s kinda grown on me.
I guess it was just a little too desperate for attention after being sprung from 7-years of isolation. It is a good snuggle buddy and we’re getting along ok.
I think I’ll let it share my bus, and not rip it to shreds.
But I need your help, what should I name it?

Sorry we didn’t know you guys were at Cal Expo until you were gone and I read the blog on it. Yep lots of gravel there. We were just 6 minutes north east of you. Could of at least brought you guys lunch and a truck & trailer from 1 Busnut to another. If you ever come through again give us a holler.

Soooo cute! And of course I have NO creative names for stuffed animals. When I was a kid I had a stuffed snake called “snakey”, a stuffed rabbit called “rabbit”. I even got to name our real, live duck who I called….wait for it…”ducky”. So, I guess I’m sticking with Mr.Bear. Or, to pull from literary inspiration “Pooh Bear”.

Poke sez the bear is “Theodore” as in Theodore Roosevelt! Ted for short.

Simply Snuggles, as that activity has already been accepted by Kiki.
night*sky says
I think he looks like a Bruce.
Jen Gibson says
The bear I had as a kid was T. Edward Bear, so I’ve always been partial to that name. 🙂
And Kiki, I’m sure he will give you as much love as you give him. Bears are great that way.
Purrrrrr….
Tigy Kat says
I would name it Tedi Bear!
Scott Deney says
I have a name for the bear.. Bosco the bear.
Love your cat, I have three.
Hope to be on the road in about two years.
I taking care of my 82 year old Mom, But I’m starting to go through all my stuff now so I won’t have storage problems later.

Rick Morgan says
Kiki, great meeting you last night. Why not just name your new friend “Bear”
Seimi says
I can’t believe the bear came without a name! All bears have a name! What was he called BEFORE storage?
Chris Dunphy says
Mr. Bear, of course. We kept things formal.
Cherie Ve Ard says
Hahaha.. Chris is so original in his naming.
His dog’s name used to be ‘D O G’
His T@B trailer used to be ‘Tab’
His first Jeep used to be ‘Jeep’
His second Jeep used to be ‘Jeepv2’
We’re lucky Kiki isn’t named CAT.
Should be no surprise that the Bear was named Mr. Bear 😀
Russell Decker says
How about KoKo or CoCo …a special friend to KiKi.
Karen says
LOL…. nothing like bringing the storage unit home with you!! Glad you have all adjusted to the new passenger on board. Buddy as a name would do him just fine.
Linda Sand says
Hard to believe that bear does not already have a name. How about Kiki, Jr.? You know, make it feel like it really belongs to you so you’ll protect it and all that.
Dawn says
Kiki, loved the update! Would you consider the name Gulliver for your new bearfriend? You’re the superior one in charge of him like in the land of Lilliput and Chris & Cherie are the giants from the land of Brobdingnag!
