indoors Arrival Story: Farrah came to us kind of by chance. We had adopted a 2 year old cat when I first moved to Germany with the intentions of always getting another cat shortly after. Well a few months went by and no new cat. It was finally decided that after the 2011 holiday season we would be getting a kitten or at least a very young cat. Before we left for our holiday vacation we looked at some ads but saw nothing for young cats. We got back from our trip and looked again for a kitten or young cat and found a few younger cats but we just never got around to calling and asking about the ads. One night I was looking once more for a cat and I came across a very vague ad about a cat the needed a home. All it said was that it was a female cat, not spayed, not declawed and indoors only. Well it the ad got me curious so I emailed the woman who laced the ad and started asking a few questions. As it turns out she was not a kitten at all, she was six going on seven years old. Not quiet what we were looking for but then I realized, why should her age stop me from loving her. You always see the older cats at the shelters that never get adopted because everyone wants the babies and I didn't want to be that person so I kept asking questions. I finally asked for a photo since the add did not include one. Once I got the photo I was in shock! She looked just like my Hazel!!! I knew right then I had to have her and give her a good home. My husband was still a little apprehensive because of her age but he likes me to be happy so he let me go meet the cat. Later that week I had the 45 minute drive to meet miss Farrah. It was love at first sight and I couldn't wait to make her mine. I finally got to picker up the following week after she had been cleared by her vet with her yearly exam and shots. On Wednesday January 11 2012 she was finally ours and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her in our lives. She has just as much energy and spunk as any kitten I've ever seen. She is innocent and wise at the same time. She's beautiful and most importantly ours. We hope she is just as happy with us as we are with her!

Dad brought home a ton of boxes today and they were all for us! We got our fancy kitty litter box that looks like regular human furniture. Mom says she will post pictures of it and post them tomorrow. Then mom saw a very special box! It said it was from Jackson Galaxy! How exciting! Mommy opened them up and there were so many toys!! There were long bunny kicker toys, there were short bunny kick toys, and there were litter bunny kick toys with little rattles in them! Then mom found a nice note from her favorite kitties in California! Zack and Zoey! What a fun Easter gift! Of course we loved them! Very pretty pink for the Pink Ladies! Zack and Zoey must have talked to our favorite Cat Daddy! Hmm what else? Oh I am still being a mean little girl to Hazel. I am very jealous and I have pretty bad attachment issues! Mom tries her hardest to get us to get along but to no avail. Hazel is starting to stand up for herself at least. We do get along on mom and Dads bed at night but that is it. Sometimes during the day we will sniff each other or at least tolerate eachother. We don't all out fight ever but I swat and hiss at Hazel when ever I can. Oh well hopefully this will pass. Thank you again Zack and Zoey! We had so much fun! We time to go wake up Hazel! luv Farrah J.
We got so many pawesome gifts from our sweet friends in California. Zack and Zoey are the best gift givers ever! Thank you so much! I love my peeps! MOL!!! I played and played with my gifts! I am a huge fan of the cat nip so these gifts were perfect for me! We can't wait till our wonderful friends get their gifts! Thank you again Zack and Zoey Hazel and I just love our gifts! We posted pictures so you could see us having a good time! Luv Farrah J.
Well Hazel and I are loving the spring here in Germany. What is not to love about the Spring! We are loving all the sun on the back balcony that we hang out on all day. Mom feeds us our breakfast around 0630 and she makes she we finish or at least eat a good portion and then she opens the big sliding glass door and were free to go outside all day! We get our sun bathing in all day and of course our bird watching! One of these days I am going to catch one of those and give it to mommy as a present! We spend almost all day out there and were both very pleased! Mom even put a litter box out there for us so we can do our business out there! Mom was thinking about putting our water out there too tomorrow since we spend so much time out there anyway. Mom bought a bunch of hanging pots and herb seeds today to grow some yummy nsacks for us! They might take awhile to grow but I know they will be worth it when they finally grow! Hazel really likes to eat grass so I know she will really like the plants. Mom really wants to make our outside area even better somehow. Any suggestions? Oh yeah. Hazel's and I relationship still isn't what mom would like it to be. We took a nap on the same bed today which is a nice step forward but then I hissed and swated at her the other parts on the day. Hazel stood up for herslef a little today which mom liked. Mom thinks if Hazel really stands up for her self just once it would turn things around. Even if it was just a hiss or a little swat she thinks it will put me in my place. However, Hazel is mommy's sweet little girl and she just doesn't do that. Shes too nice to be mean I suppose. We are so excited to get pur spring gifts from Zack and Zoey! They are such good gift givers we know it will be great! We are even more excited for them to get theirs! Oh we can't wait! Once they get them we will have to share the sellers ETSY site! She is so wonderful! We hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday! Luv Farrah J.!
