My new life

I had a good life going in Forest Lake. I was adopted as a kitten by an older lady who loved me a lot. Then recently she started getting sicker and was unable to keep me. Luckily there was a younger lady who wanted me so I moved in to her 4th floor apartment and I'm adjusting well. There were some scary noises a couple days ago and I didn't like them so I hid under the rocking chair. The noises kept coming so then I climbed up into it.

My new mommy got me a 2 story condo just for me as well as a new feather wand toy I love to play with. I brought all of the toys I already had and I enjoy a good game of chasing the laser dot, it's so much fun! I follow my new mom all over & rub against her legs all the time. I'm adjusting to the few new rules like staying off the kitchen counter, out of the pantry, and out of the closet. The rest seems to be fair game. Gotta go take a cat nap - YAWN!

King of the Apartment

I have been with my new mama for 2 weeks. I only had toys that could be played with on the floor. She bought a cat tree just for me! It's placed by the big living room window so I feel like a king when I sit on the tree & look down from 4 floors up. I also enjoy curling up for a nap in my own condo. She also got a mat to catch the litter from my paws to stop it from getting everywhere.

We've been at war over the kitchen counters but I have the feeling I won't be getting on them much anymore. They smell like bleach, are covered in tin foil and there's a scary motion sprayer up there. Plus I can't jump on the stove without getting wet!

Yesterday a crazy neighbor left food on the stove and set off the smoke detector. I was so scared, but mama helped me into my carrier and we went downstairs for a few minutes. Mama found the person responsible & told her so she dashed up & put an end to the scary ordeal. That's all for now, gotta get back to my cat nap!

So many new things

When I got to my new mom's apartment I only had a carrier, floor based toys & food & treat snacks. I didn't have a cat tree or a bed of my own since I preferred getting in bed with my former owner and I was used to eating on the counter.

Since I've been with my new mama the past couple weeks she's bought a plastic mat to catch spills of my food & water, a litter track catch mat, my own 2 story condo, ssscat for the counter, a brand new cat tree (I tore the ball off the dangle string the first night) and now I have a plush bed of my own. The pet deposit is insane ($250) and she has only paid $50 of it so far. I also need to visit my new vet on March 7th like it or not. Mom thinks it will be good for us to get out & not deal with the overly loud fire alarm test and storm siren test back to back.

There's a blizzard warning tomorrow night so I intend to curl up & sleep through most of it, maybe try out my new bed. Meow 'til next time!

I'm so confused

My mama got me a bed. I'm sniffing at it trying to figure out what to do with it. I went under it but that just doesn't feel quite right. Mama tried to place me on top gently but I get scared and run. I think I'll stick to the comfort of my carrier.

Hiding out, seeking quiet

Mama picked today to clean and vacuum. I hate that noisy thing, so when I saw it come out I hissed at it before it was even on! Mama put me in my carrier, shut the door & vacuumed the other side of the apartment, then moved me into the just cleaned bathroom to finish up in the room I spend the most time in - our living room. I'm still hiding even though I don't hear anything. She never liked the vacuum when she was a little girl so she hid in her room when her mama vacuumed.

She's washing my new bed right now and I'm going to see my new vet tomorrow right after the big loud fire alarm. Even mama hates that alarm because of her Asperger's, her ears are almost as sensitive as mine!

Oh what a day!

Mama knew it would be a scary day for me so she kept me in the carrier during the storm and fire alarm tests. Then we took the bus to my new vet for a quick check up, shots & a microchip implant. I didn't like the microchip implant but mama wants to make sure I'll return home if anything happens. It would have been much worse if mama wasn't right there with me at the vet's table comforting me.

New toys!

Yesterday my mama went out to the stores for a while. When she got back she had 3 new toys for me! One is a purple mouse with a springy ball tail and a ball on a track I can't seem to get out, it just goes around when I bat at it. Another is a mouse that "runs" when its tail is pulled. The last one is a remote control mouse that we both enjoy playing with. I've caught its tail and flipped it! It only lasts a few minutes between charges but it sure is fun!

I've got spring fever!

It's getting warm and since our apartment is on the afternoon sunny side it tends to get very warm in here. Mom can't cook for supper cuz it creates more heat inside. The cover is still on the window a/c & fan unit so we have to tough it out with the windows open & curtains closed when the direct sun starts to hit in the afternoon. I love sitting up by the window & taking a few whiffs of the area. I also have this yellow spring I love to play with, so you could say I have spring fever pretty bad! This is video mama took of me, we can't add it to my videos on here because of the work catster is doing to the site. Just copy and paste.

Purrs to my former mama

I'm happy where I'm at now. My current mama has done so much for me!

My former mama is old and real sick with cancer, and she's in the hospital right now and going into long term care after release. Sending loving purrs her way online. I hear she watched the recent video of me playing and she's happy I'm in such a wonderful place. We will make sure my pictures and videos are updated often to put a smile on her face. I'm sure she'll be watching over me after she passes.

Vote fur Taylor!

My mama is a big fan of Taylor Swift (and Kenny Chesney). I like Taylor too! It would mean the world to us if you help us help her win the ACM Entertainer of the Year award. You can place your vote by visiting acmvote.com

My mama met Taylor Swift last summer, so I shared the pic to prove it. I enjoy laying next to posters of such a pretty lady and her kitty is so cute!
