Arrival Story:
I don't remember how I got to the Oregon Humane Society. One day I looked out the window and saw a line of 5 people in the snow waiting for the place to open. As soon as the doors opened up this nice lady came running over to me and said she wanted to try me out. They put us in a private room to play. She kept dangling things for me to play with but all I wanted to do was purr and snuggle. She was soft and warm. Next thing I know I am back in the room and she is sitting outside and waiting. I cried and cried at the window and she kept saying "just a few minutes more." I even tried to escape out the door to get back to her. Finally they put me in a box and we went to my new home. It smelled like other cats. I explored all over and found that the best place to hang out is wherever my mom is.

Bio:
Mom constantly teases me about my high pitched kitten voice. She says its strange coming from such a big boy. She loves it!! She also loves my fur which is super soft. Like bunny fur she says. I love my home and my sister Lulu. In case you were wondering, I rule the house. I am large and in charge and mom gives me whatever I want!

I am so touched by all the nice pmails, vokis, gifts and comments for my birthday. You are the best pals a guy could ask for. You still love me even though I haven't been on much. Thank you!!

Mom had to work a 12 hour day today because her work was hosting a event to raise awareness and $ for our low cost spay/neuter program. She was helping prepare the PowerPoint presentation. There was a photo that just didn't seem to fit with the text. She needed a happy, sterile cat so she picked me!! She choose the first photo on my page where I am on my super cool, Cat in the Clover, That 70's Bed. The group was very vocal during the presentations with ooohs and ahhhs and laughter. Mom said they all gave an awwww and someone said how content I looked when my slide came up. It's true. So since mom couldn't be here most of the day, this was her present to me (other than tons of hugs and kisses and pets), she shared my handsomeness with the world. OK, maybe just 30 people. I love to share my handsomeness with the world!!

Thank you all again for being the best friends in the world!!

 

Where have we been?

Hi my kitty friends. I know in my last diary entry I meowed about how I was going to be around more but that hasn't happened and I feel awful. I miss all my kitty friends.

There is good news as to why I haven't been around. Mom got a new full time job and we are all adjusting to her not being here all day. Here is the super cool part....she got a job as the assistant to the Executive Director at our Humane Society. It's where she adopted me and was a volunteer for 3 years. Mom is so happy that she wakes up everyday and gets to go in and be paid. Woot!!

Besides that she is training for the Susan G. Komen 3 day for the Cure walk in Phoenix. It's in just over a month so she is training hard. She gets to meet other Catster moms too!!! Isn't that the coolest.

Well, we need our dinner so I better go. I just didn't want anyone to think we didn't care anymore because we most certainly do. All this has been quite the adjustment for mom so we are trying to be patient.

Kitty kisses!!! - Diego

 

What's new?

Thanks everyone for the nice warm welcome back. Want to know what is new here??? Not much. MOL We have a couple of new visitors this year. There is a orange and white boy which we have named Julius. We see him quite often. There are two more, one grey and white and one is a tabby tux. We have only see them occasionally. Mom puts food out whenever she sees them. It's her job even if I don't like it one bit!

Mom has been putting in lots of hours at the Humane Society volunteering on there new Spay & Save program. You may remember several months ago mom applied to be the coordinator for the program but they hired from within. This program targets low-income families. If you are on public assistance within the metro area, we will spay or neuter for $10 per cat. How is that for AWESOME!! Mom qualifies people and schedules the surgeries. We have done over 500 surgeries (pretty sure) in the first couple of months. The goal is 10,000 in the first year. If anyone reading lives in the Portland/Vancouver area and want's to know more, just pmail me.

Other than that I am getting rested up for Cinco de Mayo while LuLu is just resting up. It's a rainy day and that is what we do. OH, we are also resting up because it's a new episode of LOST tonight. Woot!!
