Arrival Story: River found us at a shelter and fell asleep in his daddy's lap after no other cat would let daddy pick them up.
Bio: River is FIV positive and yet the sweetest, most active, playful, darling, creature you could ever imagine. He wants everyone to know that FIV is not as scary as people make it out to be and cats with it are still great lifetime companions.
River only got FIV because he was abandoned by a river and trapped in a feral colony until he was rescued.

This is my sad face :(
Mommy and Daddy are flying across the country for thanksgiving. We aren't going, air planes are scary. Because of our health issues they are boarding us at the vets. They got us the biggest place, they brought us lots of toys, all our food, our beds, and our treats, and Simone and I are sharing a 'townhouse' boarding facility, but I'm still very lonely. Mommy was very sad when she took us to the vet. It was sad. I'm very sad, I miss mommy and daddy, I'm going to go cuddle with sister now. Mommy promised to pick us up the Monday after thanksgiving as soon as the vets opened. I'll be waiting for her. Sigh.... I miss mommy and daddy.
Oh Boys!!! Mommy and Daddy have been promising me a new cat tree ever since we moved to our new home. The place is so much bigger and our old cat tree is in the bedroom. When mommy and daddy are in the living room, or dinning room, or kitchen, I can't be near them and still scratch, I was scratching the sofa and mommy said I was being naughty but that she understood why I was doing it. Sunday night, they came home from being out all day, and daddy brought in a brand new dark green cat tree with a big cardboard scratcher and two levels, they put it in front of the big balcony glass doors so we can watch the birds in the tree out there. It's great. I'm so happy. Simone and I are always fighting for the top level of it.
I was worried mommy was too mad at me so she wouldn't get it. Earlier that day I accidentally stepped on her laptop while she was working on her thesis and deleted a paragraph of genealogy work she had been working on. She had to work really hard to fix it. She sighed and put me back in the bedroom so I couldn't bother her. I was scared that I had upset her. I guess she wasn't all that mad at me after all. She says she forgives me cause I didn't know what I was doing. Only bad people get mad at kitties for things they don't understand. She knows I just want to help her. Instead of getting mad, she got me a new cat tree that I can now sleep on instead of her laptop! I have the best mommy and daddy in the world!
Oh Boy!!! Mommy woke up this morning and told me that I was Catster's diary of the day! That made me so excited! I just had to write another entry and say thank you to everyone! Thank you to Catster! Thank you to my friends! Thank you to mommy for helping me learn to type so I can keep the diary! Thank you for all the great gifts you guys gave me. It makes me feel really happy that everyone thinks I'm so swell, especially since I've never met a kitty I didn't like myself! I'm going to go curl up in my favorite sun spot now and sun my belly for joy! I sure hope I can keep spreading the word about FIV being a not so bad thing in the long run and that I can keep spreading my own fuzzy lovies for a long time through my diary! Thanks again everyone! MEOW!
