It is so good to be home!!

You have no idea how much I missed this place. I spent the last month at Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Dan's; it was time for Mudslide to make the transition to live over their and get to know Mai Tai since they are going to be brother and sister when Uncle Dan gets married to Aunt Lydia and they get a house. Mudslide was very attached to me, he did everything I did, learned the good and a little of the bad (there is not much cuz I am so great). So I went along to make sure he knew he was not being abandoned over there and help him to be more comfortable.

Mudslide had a very hard beginning before my Mom caught him, he was only 6 weeks when someone tossed him into the snow with a colony of older cats that did not accept him and would not let him eat. They were beating him and he could barely find shelter under a shrub. When Mommy was called about him, he could barely walk on his back legs because he was so weak and had frostbite. He is very healthy now, but his legs are still weak and he cannot jump like the rest of us, so he needs to use his nails more than he might in order to hang on to things and not fall off. He is a tough little guy. Still a little skittish, but getting better all the time.

He loved it at our house, everyone played with him, he even started to groom some of us, we were so proud. At Uncle Dan's though there was Mai Tai and then Grandma also as Lexi, Hunter and Tigger, plus Tessa the dog. Neither Muddy nor I were used to being around a dog. We stayed to ourselves for a while, and if Tessa came by, we smacked her in the face. Muddy got used to her much quicker than I did.

I went there to help Muddy, but I did not think I was going to be so unhappy about not being the MAN of the house. I never met the others before, so I just naturally started to take over the place as I always do. I began guarding the litterboxes and was not letting anyone in, if they got in, I would not let them out. Grandma was not happy about that because someone was going all over the house instead of in the boxes. The boxes are in the utility room. So then Gram tried to face the boxes back to back figuring I could not guard them both at the same time. HA!!! I guarded the door instead and did not let them in the room at all. Those boxes were mine, Muddy could use them, and I liked Lexi too, the others...not so much!!!. Then I started talking and yelling a lot in the middle of the night. No one could understand what I wanted or needed. Finally Grandma called Mom and told her, it was time I came home. I was worried about leaving Muddy, but he was doing great; better than I was by that point. I do miss that little guy though; but It's Good To Be Home!!!
