I was too young.
This is what I looked like when I arrived at the
shelter!
10-26-02
Watch me grow!! :o)
I made myself right at home with my new foster family.
I grew at a very rapid rate. I was a little sick when they
first got me, and made one emergency trip to the vet. But
I was stable in no time. I love to sit on top of the couch!
This is me after a bath. I'm going to stay wrapped in this
towel for a while to dry.
I am not real fond of water, but what kitty is?
I was pretty good during my bath and feel much cleaner.
Plus, I love to be brushed afterwards!!
I'm
sitting on Mom & Dad's WebTV printer. They are not fond
of this, but let me because I am so small & don't
weigh much! For some reason, I love to sit here!
I no longer have to be cradled to enjoy a bottle. In fact,
I am eating soft food from a can, and occasionally
some small hard kitten chow!!
Here I
am with the bottle again. I still like to be fed like this
now and then. Mom & Dad don't mind, because the special
kitten formula that they got from the Animal Clinic is very
good for me! They know it won't be long before I won't
want it anymore.
For the most part, I was pretty healthy when I went to see
the vet. I did have to be treated for some other things such as:
earmites, roundworm, coccidia, & fleas. I was very
good when my family gave me medications and cleaned my ears. They
fixed me up and I am all better now!!
For the
first few weeks, they kept me in a large dog carrier when they
was at work. I got to be out when they was home. It was so
comfy though, my litter fit inside and I got to sleep with a
stuffed lion. It felt like my Mommy, so I snuggled up to it!
My new little home was comfortable and safe.
About 1/3 of my doghouse had a covered heating pad that I could
warm myself on...I loved it! I have everything I need in here
including the "big kitty food" that I am learning to eat!
My family has tried and tried to keep me out of their fake
flower arrangements...to no avail. I just can't help myself,
they are so fun to lay in, sleep in, & play with. It must
be the bright colors that I am attracted to! :o)
I have a brother named "Ringo" who has a story similar
to mine. We took medications together. We also have a sister
named "Snowflake"! Mom & Dad call us the "3 Muskateers"! We
love to play together!
This is a fun toy. Mom and Dad put catnip on the top. It makes
me a little woozy, but I love it! The mouse runs on batteries
and goes around in circles. It is fun to chase!
I have discovered my claws, and this has become one of my
favorite new toys. I love to scratch on it and chase the ball
around and around. It is also a great place to sleep.
Of course, I love to chase a string as
well....always a lot of fun! You should see the 6 foot cat tree
condo we got for Christmas! That is a blast to play on!! :o)
This is me and Daddy palying. He keeps spinning the ball
around. I can play on this thing for hours. Mom & Dad have
a great time watching me too!
I am getting a lot bigger now and am getting more streamlined!
I have been playing all day long and have completely worn
myself out. I am just going to stretch out on my favorite
pillow and take a nap!! :o)
Mom and Dad think I have the cutest face in the world! I also
have the loudest "meow" they have ever heard. You should hear
me when I want something!! It's okay though, I also just happen
to have a loud motor and love to sit on their laps and purrrrr!
I am such
a silly kitty...just look at me! Yes, I know, I am very
adorable. I have grown even bigger than this now, maybe I'll
add some new pictures of myself soon!!
*Meow!
