Meet Nebuchadnezzar

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Update:

I just noticed this and I found it very interesting and serendipitous.

We found Nebuchadnezzar on July 3, 2023.

This was the same day and just a couple hours after Mother got the report that she had breast cancer.

This was also the day that Tamar and Goliath were born in 2018.

Nebuchadnezzar was on his last legs. Tiny, emaciated, sunburned, and weighing 3 pounds.

He weighs today a whopping 8 pounds. The same as he did on 8/30/2023, and he eats freely, and a lot. He eats more than monster Enoch at 25 pounds and lightweight Sylvester at 22 pounds, put together. Yep the monster cats the spawn of a neighbor's Maine Coon mix.

Nebuchadnezzar fits the perfect description of the Bombay cat and he has become Mother's Siamese twin. He still holds on to his Bad Baby ways and he show no interest in going outside, unlike Enoch and Sylvester. They make a mad dash for the outside the moment there is a tiny crack in the door. Not Nebuchadnezzar. You can hold the door wide open for him, and he will look at you like you are crazy, turn his back and walk back in the house.

I think Nebuchadnezzar is about as big as he is going to get. Our little Halloween cat, right on time.

like i said, meant to be, and 

Neb the bad baby: woman i done had enough of that outside crap close the door your letting all the cool air out, what's wrong with ya.

Nebuchadnezzar continues to mystify. He is a mess and a half.

Those that have been following the story of Nebuchadnezzar, you know that my sister, who is not a pet person, fell in love with Nebuchadnezzar, and nick named him "Bad Baby".

Well today he spent almost the whole day either in my Mothers lap or stretched out on her bed. 

Around 2:30pm, Mom got up to get something to eat and to drink. Normally Nebuchadnezzar follows her like a shadow, especially when she goes into the kitchen. This time for some reason he stayed in the recliner.

Mom's phone was on the table, and for some reason he decided to knock it onto the chair and was playing with it, and he some how dialed my sister.

When Mom came back into the room, she could hear a voice saying "Hello!" "Hello!" She found Nebuchadnezzar lying on the phone, and when she answered it, she could see that it was my sister on the phone.

My Mom was a little surprised to see my sister on the phone, and told her that she did not hear the phone ring. My sister told her, that she didn't hear the phone ring because my Mom called her.

Mom said she didn't call her, she was in the kitchen and did not have her phone with her. She said she found her phone because she heard her voice, but didn't see it because Nebuchadnezzar had been lying on top of the phone.

My sister was ecstatic. She said she could not believe that Bad Baby had called her. She spent almost 10 whole minutes talking to him, and he just stared at the phone occasionally meowing.

I found out about it right away because she had to text me and let me know that Bad Baby had called her and that she talked to him over the phone.

Coincidence? Accident?

With Nebuchadnezzar, also known as Bad Baby, we will never know.

[Chiefsmom]

I would certainly keep an eye on him, see what else he gets up to.

That is exactly what my Sister said!

She said Bad Baby missed her, so being the Bad Baby he is, and living up to his name, he called her.

Bad Baby, again living up to his name.

Defiantly have to watch Nebuchadnezzar.

Dean Koontz may have gotten it wrong. Maybe it was feline instead of a Golden Retriever.

Happy National Cat Day! (any color)

Nebchadnezzar. 

Happy Halloween!

I am going to rename Nebuchadnezzar, aka Bad Baby. I am am going to name him after his real spirit. His name is now Bad Ass Baby.

I don’t know what got him upset this morning, maybe it was the cool weather.

He spent the night on the porch, along with his brothers. When Bella walked on to the porch and laid down, he walked straight over to her and bitch slapped her.

POW! For no reason at all. 

Bella’s jumped up and tried to walk away. He followed her, trying to smack her on the butt.

I had to make him come in the house, so Bella could rest in peace.

Darn, bad ass baby. 

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I just went to go into the storage room, and found two of Bad Ass Baby’s favorite toys and a dead lizard in front of the door.

You think he is trying to tell me something?

It's nice he leaves you presents.  LOL

Chucky likes to sneak out at night.  If we leave him out all night, I have to be careful walking out to go to work.  There is always a dead mouse on the mat.

Or is he trying to bribe me?    

Well.... it is Bad Ass Baby. What can I do? Got to love him.

Cats are murderous by nature. They do kill their fair share of vermin though.

I have to keep reminding myself that I got Bad Ass Baby (BAB) from the feral ranks.

Though he does a good job of imitating his domestic brothers. In fact he is much better at it than they are, because they grew up in the lap of luxury. They came from the same poor, iffy, beginnings. Enoch and Sylvester are from the same litter. Mom was a Maine Coon mix. She was a house cat that hooked up with one of my neighbor's barn cat. Their beginnings was written about on RN3. But BAB faced the first months of his life, battling for his life 24/7, so he seems to appreciates the life he has now.

He has a mischievous streak that is as wide as the State of Texas. He is playful. Bold. Daring. He also knows when he has pushed the envelop and is so darn smart it is scary.

Enoch and Sylvester are lizard, frog, and snake killers. They like to lay their kill out as trophies. Bad Ass Baby leaves his in the hallway in front of the storage room door, and as I just found out less than an hour ago, at the side of my bed.

I thought I was  standing on a rubber band. Imagine my shock and surprise to find that I was standing on a dead lizard.

I am going to have to figure out a way of working out a deal with BAB. No gifts in the bedrooms.

[Snarl]

No gifts in the bedrooms.

As macabre as it is, it's an endearing offering from something that loves ya.

Not really a cat person myself. I know there's a couple down in barn and we keep our distance from one another. My buddy's got one that sleeps with him too, so I doubt they got fleas.

Let me see……
My neighbor.
My brother.
My sister.
My nephew.

Four so far, that said they are not cat people, so I am going to have to go with the idea that Nebuchadnezzar, aka Bad Baby, aka Bad Ass Baby, is not a cat.

Because all four of those non cat people have been smitten by the little, weird, mysterious, feline.

He is indeed interesting.

My brother-in-law isn't a cat person. He's always got a little yappy dog and just loves 'em to death.

His kids though always have to have a cat for a pet. And ... like most kids ... once the novelty of a new pet wears off they ignore it. My B-I-L though ... he trains them. And they are the coolest cats I've ever seen. I've never seen him fail to do it. They're like those trained cats you see in the movies. Somehow he gets them to want to do whatever he tells them to do. It's like they want to do it for him.

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I have been away from home for about a week. 

When I got home BAB, better known as Bad Ass 
Baby, had the audacity to act like his feelings were hurt.

Lying in my arms burying his head under my arms whimpering and meowing, while side eyeing me to see if it is working.

Shaking my head.

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I don't think Nebuchadnezzar is going to get any bigger. He bounces between 5 and 7 pounds. He is like greased lightning and burns up every calorie he eats, and trust me he eats more than both of the big boys together.

He is spoiled rotten. Sylvester will only put up with him when he is still. When he is in his playful mood, which is most of the time. Sylvester hides from him.

Enoch will play with him until he gets tired. Then he won't play anymore. But Nebuchadnezzar is quite persistent. 

I fear that Enoch will get sick of Nebuchadnezzar's Bad Ass Baby BS and end up bitch slapping him.

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

Bad Ass Baby, and Bad Ass Bellah, moping on the back porch.

The both know they
were wrong as two left shoes.

Bad Baby was starting fights with both his brothers. Bellah was caught in a restricted area.

The are both in "timeout".
