Arrival Story: The first memories I have are of an apartment near a lot of water (I heard someone say that we were in Long Island, NY but I don't know what that means). A human came one day (I was 8 weeks old at the time) and I sorta liked him. I decided to adopt him to do all my menial tasks, like prepare my food, clean my poop, etc. But the first thing this guy did was stick me into this little "carrier" - more like a cheap overnight bag. It took me all of 30 minutes to escape from it and start roaming around his car. He got mad. What's the big deal? Let me stuff YOU into a tiny blue suitcase and see how YOU like it!!!
I like my home. It has stairs and lots of stuff to climb on. I have my own personal bathroom. That is good because I like my privacy. My dad is nice to me. He buys me lots of toys and makes sure I have food and treats. I wish he was around more often to play with but he says he has to go to someplace called "work". I don't know what that is but it doesn't sound like too much fun. My dad and I are now bestest buddies and I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.
Bio: Aedan is from a litter of 5 kitties; all of them buff or orange in color. I will try to post more pics of Aedan but he NEVER STANDS STILL so it is hard to snap anything but an orange blur.

How I Got My Name: Dad saw me and thought I looked like an Aedan. Actually Aedan is Gaelic for "fiery". He thought that was a good name for an orange cat. But it really is more descriptive of my personality. I am very fiery. And dad says I have a bit of an anger management problem. Oh yeah??!!! Come over here and say that!!! Er I mean, what ever are you talking about?
We are playing a tag game. We need to answer 10 questions that tell a little bit about ourselves and then tag 6 of our friends to play too. So, here we go.
This is the "2009 Get to Know your Pals" Tag game.
1. What is the color of your collar?
I don't wear one. Would you if you had a mane like mine? ;-)
2. What kind of food do you eat?
Fancy Feast Canned and Blue Buffalo Wilderness
3. What are your favorite treats?
Whisker Lickin's Chicken soft
4. Do you have a Valentine or a significant other.
No I do not.
5. Do you get table scraps?
Of course! All I have to do is put on my cute kitten face and dad gives it up.
6. What is your favorite toy?
It's a toss up. My yellow monkey is like a baby to me. I carry him around and sleep with him. My favorite play toy is my catnip banana!
7. When is your birthday?
December 5th, 2009 (11 days!)
8. How many times a day do you eat?
Canned 3 times a day. I have dry all the time.
9. Do you have a favorite color?
Orange, of course!
10. Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary?
That would be awesome!
Now, I need to tag six other friends to play this game also. Let's see.
I will tag:
Two weeks ago dad was putting his clothes into the thing he uses when he goes "bye-bye" for long periods of time. I was suspicious. Usually that means I have to go to the v*t's to be boarded. My fears were realized on Friday, September 23rd when dad put me in the carrier and off we went. We pulled in to the parking lot and dad brought my carrier into the v*t's office. The place smelled like dread. Old memories of past horrors flashed before my eyes. I was walking among the enemy. In case you can't figure it out... I DON'T LIKE TO BE BOARDED!!!
Dad told me he loved me like a million times (I think he felt really guilty) and then I watched him leave. My eyes got leaky for some reason - probably allergies.
It seemed like I was at the v*t's for years and years. Sure the techs love me and take care of me. And I have made friends with the feline guards (they euphemistically call them "lab cats" but I know the truth). But I need to be free. I can't be penned up in a cell. Oh the injustice of it all!
I missed dad so much. I hoped he was coming back for me, but how could I be sure? Then, yesterday, I heard a familiar voice. Could it be? Was it? Then I saw dad through the glass. I meowed for joy! I even let the v*t tech pick me up without squirming because I knew she was taking me to dad! I was so happy I talked to dad the whole way home.
Dad took an extra day off to spend with me yesterday and I stayed close to him the whole day. Life is great again! I'm home and I have my dad back!
You all know how much I love to play... more than eating and sleeping combined! So dad came home the other day with a bag from Petsmart. I was pretty psyched. I could smell something in the bag... what was it? I needed to get a closer sniff. Then dad took a yellow banana shaped thing out of the bag and opened up the packaging. Euphoria!!! A catnip toy!!! I ripped it out of his hands (barely leaving his fingers attached) and started licking and bunny kicking the banana. Oh, yeah, "thanks dad".
This toy rules! I have hardly put it down. I like to hide behind the recliner and then run and pounce on it and start the licking and kicking all over again!
I can't wait to see what dad will get me next week. Er, you are going back to Petsmart again to get me another toy, aren't you dad? WHAT!! I am NOT spoiled and I do NOT have too many toys! GRRRRR!!!
