indoors Arrival Story: One day we got a call from Bobbi Giordano, Founder of Bobbi and the Strays. She asked if we could help her out. A neighbor of hers had found a really beautiful long haired cat, but he couldn't keep her because a male cat of his was very aggressive and territorial. Bobbi could not take her because Princess is FIV+. As it happens, we have 2 boycats who are FIV+, and 2 older girl cats who are not. We said we would, but it would be 2 weeks before we could, as Natalie the Natcat was recouping from surgery. In the meantime, Tony found a home for her, but it was not the right fit...the woman had a small dog who chased Princess and frightened her badly. The woman did not understand how to introduce cats and asked Tony to take her back. He called us and we jumped at the chance.
We have decided to begin the process to perhaps find a 'better' home for Princess, as it appears she is having a difficult time being 'one of the bunch' in this very small 2 room apartment. We believe she would love to be an only cat, or would adjust better to a home where there was more space for her and another cat. She has, despite her small 6lb size, become aggressive with my older cat Natalie who is undergoing chemo.
Update: March 2011-Princess is finding her way into the household. We're seeing how it goes, but we are going to give it some time to see if the adjustment continues and the others acccept her. She's very endearing, and is playing and running around and sleeping in the nook in the cat tree as though she's been her forever. Bio: Princess was found by a woman who had started to feed the cat. Tony, the man who lived up the street, and eventually took her to find a home for her, asked the woman about the cat, as it was clear she was very friendly, and trying to get into the woman's house. The woman said she did not know, the cat showed up one day.
We believe that Princess did belong to someone. She is quite friendly with people, both shy and social, and wants to be petted, played with, and sleeps on the bed. She's still a bit shy and uncertain, but we believe that her brief time living outside made her cautious and with time she'll relax more.

Mommy was saying to Dad the other day that I've gotten bigger...not by much, but she said that I was under a year when I came...she's sure of it.
I have grown a little, and Daddy says 'I'm a cute, fat little BUB!' Thats not nice, Daddy!
I love to roll on my back, and kick my toys with my little fuzzy feet!
I love to play, and I keep CK in line!
Ah, a year. And my family love me. I demand attention now! If there is a brush in a person's hand, I'm there. My coat is lovely and plush, and I love being brushed, played with, and snuggling and even being picked up and petted and held by my pawrents.
I remember last year. Things were so uncertain then. A nice man named Tony saw me trying to get into his neibhbors house. She was pushing mea way. She told Tony she didn't know me and didn't want me. He picked me up and carried me to his house, got me taken care of by a vet, and got me seen to called the rescue he knew. But when they found out I tested positive for FIV+, they told him no. They knew my pawrents, and gave him their number. My mom and dad had just gotten Natalie back from surgery that day, so they looked at me and told Tony they would help try to place, me, and take me in the meantime, but they needed a few days, as Natalie had just come home from the hospital.
Tony was feeling strained, and found another lady who 'wanted' me. But she had a little dog, and didn't keep us seperate. I didn't know dogs, and was afraid. I hid under the bed, and after a week, becuase I wouldn't come out and was peeing under there, she had Tony come over, get me and take me out of there. He called my Pawrents again, and told them that he had me, and would they help. And....well....the rest is history.
Mommy and Daddy tried to place me...but they never found the right home....and I was home, really.
A year later, here I am.
My name stands for this=
Princess- Well, I AM a princess, aren't I? You can tell by the confident and royal way I carry myself!
Antonia-For the man who found me, Tony.
Llewellyn-My Daddy's Middly Name

I was a Cinderella-mommy feels I was lost...she can't believe somoene just abandoned me....but stranger things have happened....and that I am a very special little girl! So you see....
Cinderella really did become a Princess!
Thank you to everyone for being so kind to me here on Catster. As one of the Junior members of the Kew Gardens Clowder, I am proud to be here.
Momma last night was worried about Bella. Now Bella doesn't care for me at all, but she wasn't feeling well, so didn't care. Momma was really worried. She sat there trying to tempt Bella to eat, but Bella wouldn't. Momma got very worried and her face looked tired and sad.
I wanted to comfort her. I put my front paws on her legs but she still petted Bella, and murmured things into her fur. And I saw how sad she was.
So I leapt up into her lap, and put my front paws on her shoulders and looked at her with my deep green eyes.
Don't cry Momma, don't be sad.
I nuzzled her and purred. I know she's worried about Bella.
Well, everyone this morning was an ouchie morning.
I used the box like a good kitty. Then momma noticed I was crying when I was out. And she saw a hard brown poopie on the rug! Well, I didn't mean to, but it stuck!
So momma went and got a paper towel and got the poopie and threw it away and then came over to me! She wiped my backside with a wet paper towel and then she grabbed my little mouth and gave me yucky laxatone!!! Yucky!!!
Then she gave us all a treat of tunafish! But I think she put some stuff in mine-I think to make things easier....
I've not had this problem before.
Mommy gave me some more laxatone before work. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!
I am still sore and I still feel stuck. Mommy is wondering whats going on and wondering if she's going to have to put stuff in all our food now!
