Nutty Nutmeg

Hey Everybody, *Waves Paw*

I’m Nutty Nutmeg – Mom’s very first Spice Cat, and the Herbologist/Spiceologist for our Spice Cats site. *Cheshire Grin* It’s my pleasure to meet you!!! *Holds Out Paw To Shake* I have to tell you I have the greatest family and the best friends anyone could ever wish for! *Blissful Smile* I do hope you’re going to be our friend and have fun with us in our adventures. *On Knees Praying*

I’m not supposed to tell anyone this, but Mom actually stole me away from a big mean man! *Nods Head* He never hurt me, but he scared me really bad. *Trembles* When Mom saw this, she gave him a piece of her mind <Why Didn’t She Give Him The Piece With The Brain Tumor??? *Bewildered Expression* Never Mind – I Know She Didn’t Have A Brain Tumor At The Time!!! *Slaps Paw On Head*> and took me home to live forever with her. *Hugs Mom* She held me in her arms and cuddled me until I stopped shaking – it was the best day of my life! *Purrs In Delight* She brought me my own bed, special food, lots of toys, catnip, cat grass, cat treats, taught me how to play fetch, come when she called my name and to walk on a leash. *Glazes Adoringly At Mom* She didn’t even mind when I wanted to sleep in her bed instead of mine. *Chuckles*

My original name was “Tabby”, but Mom told me I was too special to be called such a common name and she started to call me “CatNip” until all her friends called me “KL”. *Hisses At Mom’s Friends* When Mom figured out that they were calling me KL because they thought my name was “KittyLitter” *Yuck* she decided to call me “Nutmeg” since I was the same color. <*Whispers* When Mom Got My First Brother She Thought It Would Be Cute If We Had Theme Names! *Nods Head* With Her Surname Being “Spice” It Worked Out Purrfect!!! *Chuckles Behind Paw*>

Mom worked long hours and didn’t like leaving me alone so she decided that I should have a little brother or sister to keep me company. That’s when she got a little gray and white tabby cat and we called him “Parsley”. *Smiles At Parsley* Parsley was my best friend for 18 years until he got sick and received his Angel Wings. *Sighs* Both Mom & I were really sad and we cried all the time, we both loved Parsley a lot. *Wipes Tears From Eyes* Then one day Mom brought me to a special place where there were all these little kittens and she let me pick out which one I wanted – I picked the most beautiful and loving kitty there! *Cheshire Grin* Mom told me we were going to call her “Cilantro” in honor of “Parsley” cause Cilantro is Chinese Parsley. *Nods Head*

Cilantro was just a little ball of fur when we first brought her home and her most favorite toy was my tail, but I didn’t mind…after awhile I got use to having a tail attachment! *Smothers Chuckle* Cilantro didn’t give me much choice she believed my tail was her personal toy & would attach herself to it whenever I move it to swing around. *Chuckles At Cila*

<*Whispers* I’m Not Really Sure What Mom Brought Home The Next Year, But He Had Long Skinny Legs, Big Ears, No Fur Except On His Tail And It Was Curly – He Looked Just Like Dr. Seuss’ Cat In The Hat! *Chuckles*> We named him “Tarragon”, but somehow he’s under the impression his name is “Terror of Dawn” and does everything to live up to it. *Shakes Head At Tarragon*

When I was in my 21st year, I received my Angel Wings too and now I live in Heaven with Parsley. <*Whispers* We Spend Most Of Our Time Watching Over Mom, Cilantro and Tarragon. *Nods Head* With Terror They Need All The Help We Can Give Them. *Muffles Chuckle*> Boy oh boy, does he know how to create total chaos!!! *Soars Down & Swats Tarragon*

I also have a very handsome boyfriend named Kinser, he doesn’t have his Angel Wings, but we have lots of fun together! *Kisses Kinser’s Head* I’m not pawsitive how this happened, but somehow he got corrupted by Tarragon! *Hisses At Tarragon* The two of them are always trying to do nasty things to my little Cilantro, but Parsley and I make sure he gets what he deserves and keep our little Princess safe!  <*Whispers* Although, I Don’t Think She Needs Our Help – She’s Quite Capable Of Keeping Terror Grounded In The Tree Dog House She Got Especially For Him & Dad-To-Be! *Stifles Chuckle*>

Ah, I don’t know why, but I don’t have many cat skills, <I Am A Cat, Why Don’t I Have The Same Abilities As Other Cats? *Baffled Look*> but thanks to Mom, I do know all there is to know about Herbs & Spices – from A to Z!  <*Whispers* Mom Sent Us All To University, She Wanted Us To Get An Education & We All Got To Choose What Field We Wanted To Study.  *Smiles*> I studied spices and herbs – how to use them for cooking, growing them, how to use them as herbal remedies, and lots more!!! *Nods Head* I’m a walking Encyclopedia of everything you’d ever want to know about herbs & spices and all the different things you can use them for! *Humongous Smile* Now that Mom can’t work, she’s a “Sickie”, *Kisses Mom* we work so we can buy her everything she needs and take care of her. *Muffles Chuckle* She’s a lot of work and for someone that skinny eats a lot, but fortunately Cilantro’s a gourmet chef and Parsley’s a pastry chef so they cook & bake for her.  *Pats Cilantro & Parsley* I make special herbal remedies to help her health and Tarragon…lets not go there!!! *Chuckles Behind Paw*

That’s all for now – I want to see what Cila’s got cooking, it sure smells fantastic!!! *Waves Paw Bye*
