Arrival Story: I have a built in back porch where there is a kitty room on one end (a room just for the cats), the laundry room on the other end and the porch in the middle. On the built in porch is a sliding glass door. Well one hot late afternoon, I opened the sliding glass door just enough that I knew Sierra (my adult kitty) couldn't get out. I then closed the door leading into the house from the built in back porch. When I reopened the door to go out onto the built in back porch and into the kitty room, I found Duchess asleep with Sierra in her basket. I tried to put Duchess outside with no luck, as she run back into the house. She had chosen her home. I decided we had to keep her, she chose us. So from that point on, she has had a home with us.

Bio: Duchess was born under my neighbors house. She is one of 3 kittens her feline mom had. Her feline mom decided she wasn't going to care of Duchess anymore unless she absolutely had to. Duchess came to me with an eye that wasn't that healthy and it was believed that she may not have any or much vision out of that eye. Since then her eye has got better and it seems she does have full vision in it. She came to me weighing 1.4 lbs. and fit in one hand at the age of 8 weeks old. Duchess was named Michelle while she lived under the house of my neighbor. I call her Duchess due to her attitude; the house is mine and you all belong to me. Is the attitude she has. So I now call her Duchess Michelle, or just Duchess for short. She now lives in a family of 4 human brothers, 3 feline sisters, 2 bird sisters, a human mom and a human dad.

I thought Momma said I wouldn't have to go back for 2 weeks! I had to go back to the vet last night to have my stitches checked. Meow. I pulled one of them out. Yeah, yeah I know, bad girl. Meow. I don't like those things, they itch. So I now have to wear this collar cone thing and stay in my carrier. Meow. Momma even taught me how to drink from a water bottle, one of those bunny water bottles, so that I can get water. Momma takes the collar off me so I can eat and use the little box. Meow. 5 more days and my stitches come out, but they itch now. Purr.

Momma woke Precious and I up early yesterday morning to go to the vet. She left us at the vet! Can you believe her?! She left us there all day and all night. Hiss. Momma says we needed to be spayed. She said she doesn't want us to have kittens that will have to live outside and might not find a good loving home. Meow. I found a good loving home and I was born outside. Why wouldn't my kittens find good loving homes. Meow. Well ok if I have to be spayed. I'm not going to have it done without a fight. Hiss. However the vet won the battle. I went to sleep and I didn't even want to. Hiss. I then woke up in a strange place and my tummy hurt. No one told me getting spayed was going to hurt. Hiss. Momma says the vet put a microchip in me too. She says that I need one for incase I get outside and get lost. Meow. She wants me to be returned home safe and quickly. Ok I like that idea, I don't want to be away from my home. Meow. Then the vet gave me a shot too. Momma says it's a Rabies shot. Meow. Why do they keep doing these shots? Momma says it's to keep me healthy. Meow. I'm already healthy, I think they are doing it to torcher me. Momma says I have to go back to the vet in 2 weeks to have the stitches removed. Meow. Momma says stitches are those strings the vet put on my stomach after I got spayed. Well if I have to go back I guess as long as she doesn't leave me over night again. Meow. Momma says after that I wont have to go back for a whole year! I wont go back at all if I have my way. Meow. So I am home, but stuck in this carrier until I heal a little more. I'm happy to be home with my momma and sisters. Purr.

Momma came into our room a few days ago and took Prissy while we were asleep. Momma says she had to take Prissy to the doctor and she will be back soon. Meow. All day I waited for my sister to come home and she didn't ever come back. I didn't know when you go to the doctor you don't come back that day. Hiss. The next day Momma took the carrier again and left. She said she was going to take Prissy to the pet store to help find her a new home. Hiss. I don't want her to find a new home. Momma come back again and she didn't have the carrier and no Prissy either. Meow. Momma said Prissy would be back soon. I waited again all day and Prissy never came back. Hiss. Momma woke me up today and told me she was going to go get Prissy today. YAY, my sister is going to come home! Purr. Momma left and when she came back she had the carrier, and Prissy was in it! Momma wouldn't let Prissy come out though, she said Prissy needed to heal a little while longer. Meow. Momma says I will go have the same surgery as Prissy did soon. I don't want to have that done. Hiss. Momma then put Prissy in her room so that we could not see her. Momma says Prissy can come out and play in a few days. Meow. I miss my sister, but I am happy to have her back home. Purr.
