Arrival Story: I adopted Nico from Cat Welfare in Columbus, Ohio. He is my first cat ever, although my husband has always owned cats. When we went to Cat Welfare, I was all prepared to look for a full grown, calico kitty...but the lady working there said, "Why don't you just come back here for a minute and take a look at the cute little kittens that just came in?" There they were....five perfectly black male kittens, about five or six weeks old, mewing and staring at us and swatting through the bars. I picked up Nico, and he promptly swatted at my nose and then fell asleep on my chest. I noticed his tail was curled like a pig tail at the end, and asked about it...the lady said it had been caught in a cage door or something, at some point, and broken, which was why it was curled on the end. I felt so sorry for him...and he was so sweet...I knew he had to come home with me. And he did. :o)
Bio: Hubby has named every black cat he ever owned Nicodemus, which is how Nico became Nicodemus the VIII. :oD We just love this kitty...He's grown so much in the short time we've had him, it's kind of unbelievable. He's gone from a sweet little lap kitten to a whirling cloud of devilish thunder to an aloof king of the house who sometimes honors you with his headbutts!
Nico will always be my pretty Nico-nator...I love him! I had NO idea how fast I would become a "cat person", or how deeply I could love a little feline. Nico has taught me so much about loving a furball as if it were my own child.

I've Been On Catster Since:
She hasn't helped me write a journal entry in fourever! Don't worry, friends. I'll claw her eyes out later.
So, in the past several months, I have gotten a sister - Aviendha. She is mean and snotty, but sometimes she licks my ears, and that's all right. And she fights with all of The Big Lady's foster cats, so that's pretty funny, and I enjoy that a lot. heh heh heh! Sometimes she tries to take my shelf on the cat tree, or act like she's TBL's favorite...then I have to bite her butt and put her in her place. But she's ok.
Then, I got a brother - Behemoth. He's a rotten little kitten!! *spit spit hiss!* TBL's friend brought over a cage with four, tiny, whimpery furry things in it one night. TBL woke up every three hours to feed the little lumps cat milk from a bottle and a syringe...and do you think *I* got any?!? NO!! Anyway, the next day her friend came back and got them, and that was good. But two weeks later, this gray and white spotted KITTEN came back!!! It's ok, though, because he's fun to wrestle with and play NASCAR with. When I catch him, I can pin him down and lick his face and ears to my hearts content. He hates that. He heh heh! That pleases me, too.
Now, I hear rumor of ANOTHER darn cat coming home!! And this ones' OLD, and SKINNY!! All I can say is, one more set of ears to lick!
The Big Lady took me to the vet's office again this weekend...man, I hate that. I mean yes, having all those hottie, furless babes ooh-ing and ahh-ing over me is cool. But when they break out the thermomator and stick it you-know-where that is so *not* cool!!!! Not only that, but they stick me with needles and take blood from me...dude. I hate all of that. I do get cat milk afterwards, though, which is excellent!!
This time TBL was all excited because I was leukemia negative...whatever that means. For me, it means she's been smiling, petting me a lot, giving me extra treats and looking at lots of kitty pictures on the web. Maybe I could test negative more often!
She put this thing around my neck with a shiny gold coin like thing hanging off of it! Did I ask for accessories??? I don't know what it is...some kind of toy? I keep trying to play with it, but it's hard to reach! It's highly annoying, so everyone in the house gets a taste of my claws this morning.
I am feeling SO Much better - I'm running around the house like I own the place again. The Big Lady moved my stuff around, so all my toys are like new. She bought fabric to make me some kind of cat bed, and the fabric is SO soft and fuzzy!!! And bright red, so TBL says it will make a good backdrop for me in pictures...cool.
My latest tor...err...game is to keep TBL up ALL NIGHT LONG by jumping up when she least expects it and grooming her eyes, nose, mouth and ears. I also like to knead, claws extended, while I'm doing this, and I make sure they are VERY slobbery grooming kisses. Hee hee hee! She pulls me off and puts me on the floor, rolls over like she thinks I'm going to leave her alone, and BOOM - I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaack! She gets so annoyed, and in the mornings she's all blurry eyed. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
Dammit, this gold thing on my neck is flashing in the sunlight...gotta run!
