Arrival Story: About a year after my sweet Sally crossed the bridge, I was "just looking" at adoptable kitties on Petfinder. I came across Leo, Charlie's brother, and just fell in love. After some emails with the rescue organization, I went down to Tucson to meet Leo. Charlie was also there and the family that was going to adopt him had fallen through. He was adorable (of course) and I couldn't stand to separate them and leave Charlie behind. With lots of thought (and some support from Catster friends!) I made the decision to adopt Leo AND Charlie. They came home on June 13th, 2009.
Bio: When Charlie and Leo were about 2-3 weeks old, someone brought them into a vet's office in a shoebox. The vet couldn't take them and the person was headed to a local kill shelter to drop them off. A woman in the vet's waiting room offered to take them. She bottle fed them for 3 weeks and then they were taken in by their foster mother who provided loving care until they were ready to be adopted and come home with me!

When Mommy gets up, gets ready, feeds us, and leaves the house in the morning, she has a routine. It took me a couple of months to truly understand the routine but now I know what's up.
Right before Mommy walks out the door, she sets the house alarm and it gives a couple of beeps and I come zoooooooming into the living room. I hop up onto the window seat, sprawl out in my favorite puddle of sunshine, and I watch Mommy go out the door! She thinks it's sooo cute and I always get extra goodbye loving!
P.S. Despite my response to the morning routine and setting the alarm, Mommy thinks I might be deaf or hard of hearing. She's wondered about this for a couple of months. I don't really respond to her voice or other noises. I meow ALL the time (not a change, I've done this since I came) and sometimes it's odd and really loud (according to mommy). Plus, I never respond to my name. I never come running or even look at mommy when she says my name (or "here kitty, kitty" or anything else). And I don't come for treats unless I see mommy with the treat bag. I don't notice mommy if my eyes are closed or I'm looking the other way unless she touches me. How would we know if I was deaf?
Guess what? I'm HUGE! Mommy weighed me today and I am almost 10 lbs! MOL! That means that I'm nearly a pound bigger than Lucy and I'm only 8 months old!
And you know what else? This growing kitten is HUNGRY! All the time!
And even though Leo is all juiced up on prednisolone, I outweigh him by 2 lbs! How big do you think I am going to get?
He really is HUGE! And he eats all the time. He meows at me from the top of the fridge until I feed him. I'm glad I bought that cat carrier with wheels- I think he is going to be massive! He's only 8 months old and he's already bigger than Lucy! OMC!
Wow! Thanks to HQ and all my friends for celebrating my DDP honor today! I'm super excited about it; I'm just a little kitten and I love any reason to celebrate!
Unfortunately, not only does mommy have to work today but she has to work pretty late so my true celebration (Tiki!) will have to wait until tonight. In the meantime, I'm hoping to celebrate with at least 3 nice, long cat naps, one big chase with Leo (that means that he chases me and then I chase him!), and some Lucy-wrestling (whether she wants to or not!).
