Hope Notes

I Hate Petsmart

Just me...not Mom. She must LOVE Petsmart cause she is there so much! Was there all afternoon yesterday and that wasn't good enough. Went back today. Come on, Mom. Little kids poking' their fingers in the cage. Dogs barking and barking and barking. Only good thing is I could see the parrots from my cage. Yum! But I couldn't touch them. Then there were the other kitties. They didn't wanna be there either! First it was Marko who got a home. Then there was the little tabby girl...but her brother got left behind and he cried and cried. I felt so sorry for him. They should have taken him with his sis. About that time I sort of decided all the peeplz were stupid and went and hid in my litter pan. Mom tried to coax me out and I hissed at her. She talked nice to me and I still hissed. She went and bought me a feathered kitty toy bird. Not bad. Not as good as the real ones but...I played with it a little bit. Then I went back to the litter pan to catch a nap. Finally Mom put me in the carrier and we went back to car. It be quiet for while as she drove, then she told me she was sorry about it all and that we would not go back there again. That made me feel good. Not really certain what the future is, but if my purfect home be somewhere else, it isn't gonna happen that way. I think mom was as unhappy as I was - just she wasn't in the cage.

Tomorrow be a Special Day

Tomorrow is Petsmart Adoptathon. Mom and me be very nervous. I puttin' on my very best face, my best attitude. It be really hard for us both, but sometimes I think I might like a house with less kitties. I am sure Milo and Lottie feel that way. Me and Phoenix play together alot. But, like I said, there be some days when we all think there might be this very special family just waiting for this handsome tux kitty. So, tomorrow we try one more time.

Can't Get No Respect

So, little Phoenix's tree got stolen. Mom and dad actually stole it, chopped it up and put it into a box. She tried to rescue her eggs and I came along to assist and distract, but they still took them all. She was sitting and crying in the living room as mom and dad pulled down the steps to the attic and took the box up. Now the attic be place of mystery. Ain't no kitty ever been up there. Mama Lucy says there be ghosts up there. So, I decided to be the brave brother and go rescue Phoenix' tree. I ran up the steps into the attic while dad was getting more boxes. Wow! What a place. I sad to say I forgot all about the tree. There be lots o boxes and this cool gray fluffy stuff. Dad spotted me and called to mom. I was away far away from them and the boards they could walk on. Ha! What fun! I decided to play hide n seek with them. After about half an hour Mom when and got me some treats as a reward for being so brave up there and giving them something fun to do! But when I came close dad grabbed me. HEY! He took me down the steps and put me in the bathroom. Hey, let me OUT!!! Mom came in and shut the door behind her. Ah -- she still had the treats! She gave me a couple. Then we both saw that my beautiful white feet and chest where completely gray! What followed was a terrible thing no kitty should experience. BATH.........
