I got tagged by Kassie!

The rules of the TAG Game:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.

Seven Fascinating Facts About Spike:
1) I once got put in kitty jail by a neighbor who thought I was a stray. Mom didn't know where I was for over a week, until she was out looking for me and happened to see a poster describing me saying that I was at the pound! Mom rushed home and called the pound and was told that they were about to close for the night and I was scheduled to be put to sleep the next day!!!! She nearly had eight heart attacks then and there. She was waiting at the pound to get me when it opened the next morning. And even though they'd been going to destroy me for no good reason, they still charged Mom for vaccinations they'd given me. (HUH???!!)
2) Mom used to change song lyrics to make the song about me. Example, she'd sing me this song to the tune of "The Jets Song" from West Side Story: "When you're a Spike, you're a cat that is grey, and given the chance, you'd eat ten meals a day..."
3) My pink pawpads were the center of all cuteness in the universe.
4) When we were driving cross-country, Mom discovered that I could cry for 96 hours straight ... but I got pretty hoarse after the first 72.
5) When I was a little kitty, I loved ice cream. Mom would give me the pint lid from the Ben&Jerry's to lick so I wouldn't beg for hers.
6) I LOVED what Mom called "chest rests." That's when Mom (or Dad) would be lying on her (or his) back and I'd climb onto her and lie down on her chest, nose to nose with her. Mom had to learn to sleep on her back for me!
7) I was very polite -- I wouldn't chest rest or make bread on bare human skin, only clothed or covered with a blanket, but would sit next to a bare person waiting for them to cover up so I could cuddle with them.
