Hi everyone.

This is my first day here on Catster, and as long as all my new friends don't try to move into my house, everything will be good!

I wanted to tell you all a little story about my life. When I was younger, I had three little kittens. It was an accident, and my mom was pretty upset, but everything went well in the end. My kittens are all in good homes and are loving life. After that, mom took me to the vet, and you can all guess what happened there...

Things went well for many years after. Mom and my brother Guerme and I moved to a new city. I liked my new apartment and we met a wonderful friend who made Guerme and I a very cool cat tree and cat walk that goes across the ceiling. We are so spoiled!

Then one day mom found a lump on my tummy. She was very scared, and so was I! We went to the vet. They said I could have cancer!! Mom doesn't have a lot of money cause she is still going to school, but she scraped up enough so that I could have the lump, and the entire left chain of mammary glands removed. It was pretty scarey. But in the end, once again, everything worked out!

Then mom and guerm and I moved into a new apartment with mom's friend. Moms friend had an ugly cat named Kitty. He was so MEAN! I never did anything to him, but for the entire time we lived there, he wouldn't let me move around the house. He would attack me everytime I tried to move. It was horrible, and I became seriously stressed out. During this horrible time, mom went on vacation to France where her Godson lives. She LEFT me in this house - alone with that mean cat!! I couldn't believe it, here I was being attacked and she goes on vacation. I am over it, really I am... anyway. While she was gone, I stopped eating. I got sick and moms roommate took me to the vet. It was so bad my kidneys were shutting down. Mom was so worried! At the vet, they hooked me up to liquid food and lots of medication and I ended up staying at the vet until mom came home. Mom thinks i was trying to commit suicide... After mom picked me up - I was still very, very sick. It took a lot, but with mom's coaxing, I started to eat the special food from the vet, and my coat and my eyes started to look a little better.... I started peeing again, even if it wasn't in my litterbox, I just wanted to show mom that my kidneys were working agian!! We all moved out of there ASAP, and now two years later, I am totally back to my happy self, living with Guerme and Mom in a great apartment, with NO mean cats!!!!

Thanks for listening everyone, I feel better getting that off my chest!
