indoors
Arrival Story: altho i was destined to be a barn cat (thats what my momma was!), my first human mom brought us all inside the day we were born. one day many weeks later while i was happily playing with my brothers and sisters, some strange girl came and scooped me up! i tried to get away, but she didn't let go! then she started petting me and talking to me all sweet and i just couldnt help but to let out the loudest hardest purr my little body had ever done! when she sat down, i got in her lap and started biting and pulling at her shorts and she laughed =) then my gray brother came running up and she grabbed him, too. the next thing i knew we were in a car outside of the house and i was really scared! but my gray brother snuggled up to me and gave me lots of kisses and i felt so much better. then we got home and i was in heaven! there were so many new things to explore--like stairs, big plants, and slick floors to slide on!
Bio: i reallyreallly love being snuggled by my humans that i know well. i'll purr super loud for them and they love it! heck, i'll purr if they just look at me =) i keep my marshmallowy white fur super clean and soft so they just cant resist petting me. i still havent figured out how my brother, cadet, can know so many kitty words. i just cant get past my "meeps!" but--they seem to work...my humans used to call me "meep" so they must understand me =)

wellp, i guess i'm not immune to cadet's lifelong hobby of hairball hacking! we clean each other a lot, but i think he gets a lot of my hair. i'm sure that's why he gets those gross things occasionally. now see, ive only thrown *anything* up two or three times in my whole life! never ever a furball. well, now i have pity on the poor barfbag! the other day i was blissfully lying in my spot in the closet (yay!!! mom finally opened the door back up!) and i just felt this immediate urge to jump to my paws and this horrid, strange loud sound came from my meeper mouth! just a few seconds later mom came rushing in and i was throwing up in her closet. :( it was SOOOOO ewwwwy icky! she reached down to pet me and i just puffed all up, cause i didnt want her to touch me! i couldnt believe what i had just done. then i saw what i hacked up and it was a furball about 3 inches long. WOWEE! then mom reached for me again, so i let her pick me up. i was shedding like the dickens i was so freaked out. later that day she put this brown goop on my paw--and hey, it was good! i always wondered what that tasted like *hehe* i've felt pretty good since then, but i'm going thru a "hide most of the day, then come out and beg for attention" phase. i'm not sure why i do it...i guess i just want my people to not take me for granted! =)
morning! =) when i woke up this morning, guess who was at my house visiting? BOOKER! *MEEP!* well that totally messed up my morning ritual. in the mornings, cadet and i will be watching the critters out the window thru the closed blinds, and the ritual is for mom to open them for us and then we get fed! well this morning, here comes booker, waltzing into the living room like he owns the place and sits at MY window! *MEEP!* well, it's no good if i go up there now, cause he's in my spot. he ruined it! and i *dont* want dog cooties, so there's no way i'll sit by him and give him the pleasure of sharing my spot with me. i'm still afraid of him anyhoo. so next, mom gets out the food and i'm scared to run to her thinking booker might chase me. even cadet--who loves food more than i do--just sat across the room and didnt come running! well, i was on the back of the couch which is close to our food bowls, so i just jumped right from the couch to the bowls and made it safely. mom had to pick up cadet and bring him over! heheheeh! *sigh* i cant believe we're going to have to live with that d*g. i wonder...will we ever be friends?
*meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!* i'm so meeped! my mom has been closing the closet door and now i cant lie in there on my warm spot! last night she brought home this HUUUUUUUUUUGE tall white plastic bag with words on it and hung it in the closet. i heard her tell me, "you're not gonna chew THAT plastic bag, calcal!" hrmph. geezo, i cant help it i like to perforate plastic bags with my kitty fangs. it's so fun...and its like i just cant stop myself if i smell a bag! i'll never forget the one time mom left a really big and thick disney bag under the bed--for months! ahhhhh...what a project that one was. *snicker* you should have heard her when she cleaned under that bed--not only did she find tons of cat fur, but she said--no wait, she shrieked-- "WHAT in the HECK happened to this bag??" heeheehee! oh man i totally ran and hid because my fangies utterly destroyed that bag. heehee! then after that i heard her laughing, really hard, and she came and found me. so i looked up at her with my cute lil black mask and used the soft, breathy "mhheehhp" and whew, i got off the hook ;) so anyhoo...i guess that big bag in the closet has this big white dress in it. it must be pretty danged important if she has to close the closet door and deprive me of my spot!! altho, any spot next to the baseboard heat isnt too bad...
