Today is my 'unoffical' birthday. I don't remember when I was born, and Mommy and Daddy don't know. But we picked this birthday because it was the day that Mommy and Daddy first saw me. I started to come to be fed, but I didn't want to leave, I was scared outside. It soon became clear that I had been someones cat. Why they didn't keep me or take care of me I'll never know, but Daddy always says he is glad we found each other again. Because we were living in Mommy's mothers house, and it wasn't Mommy and Daddy's place, Mommy's mom thought it was a good idea that I get put up for adoption. But as you see, I am not up for adoption...so that worked out ok. Because I wanted to stay with Daddy and Mommy.
You see, Daddy is my person. He and I are 'mancats' together. When Daddy took a job in Alabama, I rode with him all the way, and sometimes he let me come out and sit in the back window to look at things. When we stopped he would get me food-he even had Waffle house make me a chicken sandwich without the bread-just the chicken!
We had a good time. We missed mommy, but it wasn't for long. She was supposed to come too, with Bella-she was the only other cat then-Natalie and Princess are very recent. And Smokie came when we moved here.
But the job didn't work out-the man daddy worked for was dishonest and the place closed and then Daddy had to pack me up and bring me up to New York again. We were glad to see Mommy!!!! And I was no longer confined to the porch for adoption. I was a Cat in Residence.
Me and Mommy and Daddy even had a trip to Gilbert lake where they rented a cabin! They took me with them, and I loved it. It had a big screened porch that overlooked the woods. I sat in front of the fire at night keeping warm with them. And they even got a harness for me, but I wouldn't let them get it on me, so I never did get to go out. (I never go out-I am an indoor gentleman!) I loved it there, because I loved the different air and the different smells!
And then, shortly after, we moved.
This place is small, but it is home. So long as I have my Daddy and my Mommy, it doesn't matter where we go.
This morning I was constipated, and then, I managed to make the newmies and ahhhhh!!!! Relief!!!!I ran around and around the kitchen!!! I was playing and mommy was glad to see it. I know she worries alot about me.
So I want to wish all the other kitties having birthdays today a happy birthday! Maybe later I will even get some chicken or fish!
