It has been almost a week since we've seen our Buttercup and our hope is that he has found a wonderful new home as an inside cat. We never really considered ourselves "cat people". We liked dogs and had always had dogs. There was a slight problem with mice at our house (actually any problem with mice is a BIG problem) and so we thought a cat would help the situation. Not only did Buttercup get rid of all the mice, but the girls LOVED him. He really was a sweet cat and we are going to miss him!
Let me explain the name...
Buttercup was the original name when we thought he was a she. After a trip to the vet we discovered that she was actually a he. The poor boy needed a more masculine name, so Rylee decided that Marlin (Nemo's daddy) would be a great new name for him. Last but not least, Skittles is the name Aunt Bethy had given him from the beginning. So, when we would say his name it would go something like this "Buttercup"..."Marlin"..."Buttercup Marlin Skittles Brand". No joke, we would laugh when we said it but that is how it came out just about every time. No wonder the cat found a new home...he just wanted a decent name!

I hate that he is missing, but cats do that and most of the time they find their way home one day. As far as his name: Priceless! But I think skittles was his favorite! ;) Aunt Bethy is so silly!!
