Today Is My Seventh Gotcha Day Anniversary!

Today is my seventh Gotcha Day Anniversary and I had a better year than my last one.

Mom gave me a tunnel toy that makes a sound like it’s a bag a while ago and I finally used it a few days ago. I pounced on it to make the noise and then I sat in one end of it.

For Christmas presents, mom got me pet insurance and a new food dish.

Sometimes I get minor asthma symptoms when I play too hard. My vet said they aren’t bad enough to require medicine. We are all very happy about that.

I still eat my natural reduced calorie food and I lost two pounds at my yearly exam! Yes, I love my food, but now I understand why my vet doesn’t want me to eat so much.

My Sixth Gotcha Day Anniversary and What I Did Last Year

Today is my sixth Gotcha Day anniversary and I had quite a year.

In May, I was so sick that I had to go to an emergency room. The surgical specialist asked mom if she wanted to send me to where my sister Abby lives because my breathing was so bad; the ride made the stress I had much worse. Mom insisted that she do the operation and told her how she knew she could help me.

I had an abscess on a lung and she removed 20% of it. I recovered so quickly that I was released after one day in the hospital instead of two. When mom took me back there to have my stitches removed, the surgeon told mom how happy she was to have done the operation.

My primary vet had plans to put me on a different asthma medication. There is no need to because my asthma is gone!

Mom spoiled me in my recovery by letting me eat as much as I wanted. When I went for my checkup in September, I gained weight and the vet didn’t like it. Since then, I am on a diet with natural reduced calorie food and we hope I get down to the weight I should be by my next yearly exam.

As she does every year on my Gotcha Day anniversary, mom sent a donation to the place I lived before my time with her.

Mom said she would give me dinner now. As always, it will be delicious.

Today Is My Fifth Gotcha Anniversary!

I got two new food bowls and a laser pointer toy as gifts and mom gave a donation to the shelter I came from.

Mom always tells me how happy she is because she has me. I know she loves me, but I love food very much and I wish she would give me more of it. She says she doesn’t give me more because I’m a big girl and she needs to watch my weight.

I still love my house very much and mom wants me here for many more years.

I'm Cat of the Day!

Thanks to Catster for giving me Cat of the Day honors this Halloween day!

I want to share this with my angel sister Abby, who is a black cat. Mom misses her and celebrated Halloween with her when she lived with her.

I wish all of you a happy trick or treat day! I hope all of you get the treats you want.

My Fourth Adoption Anniversary Is Today!

Today Is My Fourth Adoption Anniversary!

To celebrate, mom gave me Fancy Feast. She gave me salmon this time and I also got a treat, which mom says is medicine for my asthma. If medicine is that good, I want to have more of it! I got catnip on my scratch pad and rolled around in it. I also love the bed Abby gave me, which she never used. I like to drink water from the cup mom has on her bathroom sink and she doesn’t mind when I do it.

Mom got me a new sofa recently. At first I didn’t like it, but I love it now! I showed mom how I sit up on it to show her how much I like it. I still love all my other furniture and mom says that I’m a good girl when I use my scratching post.

I love my house very much and mom wants me here for many more years.

GoodSearch's Charity of the Day

A Helping Paw is GoodSearch's Charity of the Day!

I hope they get back all that was stolen and more.

Mom and I Don't Understand Some People Sometimes

Mom put the news on for a few minutes tonight and this story came on.

We don't understand how someone could break into and steal from A Helping Paw or any other animal shelter.

We made a donation and hope that they get back everything that was taken, and more. Mom would like to adopt someone there--no animals were harmed or reported missing--but I told her that I won't share my house with anyone except her.

Today is my third adoption anniversary!

Today is my third adoption anniversary!

I got an ornament in the mail from Fancy Feast (a Christmas present that got to me late). Mom gave me the usual amount of Fancy Feast. A few minutes after I finished eating it, mom took the cover off the can. When I smelled it, I ran as fast as I could. Mom gave me extra Fancy Feast!

In many ways, I stayed the same—which is all good. I still love to nap, drink from my big water fountain (bathroom sink), play and show mom how fast I run to my food dish.

Mom made this entry for me as I nap extra from my big dinner. She wants me to live many more years with her. I love where I live and I want to stay here for a lot longer!

By Pawpular Demand, My Tag Game Facts!

I have been tagged by many kitties. Thanks to all of you!

By pawpular demand, here are seven of my facts:

1) I snore. When mom first heard me, she laughed—the nerve of her!

2) I sometimes eat dry food by picking it up with my paws, putting it on the mat and then eating it.

3) I sit by my mom as she answers pmail for me and Abby. I’m sitting by mom as she writes this for me!

4) I like to sit in the bathroom sink or tub and don’t mind if I get water on me. That is because my hair is water-resistant. Water can bead up on my hair and roll off!

5) I purr softly as I eat.

6) I supervise mom as she prepares food.

7) I like to have a few bites of lettuce every now and then. Not only am I a doggie girl, I am a bunny girl!

I know I am supposed to tag seven kitties here, but mom says that they have probably been tagged more than enough times already.

Two Years in My Furrever Home!

Today is my second adoption anniversary!

In the past year, I got used to my new house. Mom let me keep everything from my old house and I have new stuff, too. Recently, I started to use a pink kitty bed. Mom told me that it is from my angel sister Abby, who never used it. I’m happy that mom kept it and I finally decided to use it.

I also got used to the bed mom got last summer. I didn’t like it at first because it’s higher off the ground, but now I sleep on it because I feel great when I’m on it with my head on my pillow. I still use my other beds in my big condo and on the furniture. Yes, a kitty needs lots of sleeping places!

My mom stayed with me more last month, but had to go back to the place she calls “work” last week. I miss her when she leaves and can’t wait for her to get home, which is when I show her how fast I can run—to my food dish.

I got extra Fancy Feast for dinner. I love it—yum!

I will end this now and nap off my big meal in one of my beds.
