Arrival Story: Coffee was a shelter cat at the animal shelter where I volunteer. Because she has a history of bladder stones, she was going to be a difficult placement. When my resident cat (breed unknown) started to stalk me, I knew it was time to find a companion. Eli, the resident cat, had special diet needs so I decided I could handle two cats with special diets.
Bio: Coffee is a big girl. Her tabby circles ring completely around her body. She is the purfect color of coffee with light cream. She believes she is the only cat in the WHOLE world who should live in the house. Coffee is front declawed (not me...it was her first humans who did it). She started boxing Eli on the head anytime he was within reach. At first Eli would MEOW in protest, but soon realized that when Coffee swatted him it didn't hurt. He would just stand there and take it. Coffee quickly established herself as top cat.
Coffee makes sure that everyone gets a chance to refresh their memory of her scent...every day! She is quite fond of having her tail scratched and will raise her rump to make sure you scratch it good and get a good view/smell of her assets! She cha-cha's from pure enjoyment of the tail scratch.
Coffee has learned to be a great foster mom. She helped foster a young orange tabby until we found a home for him. Lately her Big Sister skills have been put to use with our new addition to the home, Pandora.
Lives Remaining: 8 of 9

It might feel like to you that it has been a long time since I wrote to you, but in the feline universe -- it's not that much time.
Just wanted to let you know that the furson FINALLY *roll of eyes and hands on hips* decided to upgrade the castle. It's about time! Around the first of October we will be moving to a new castle that has 27 floors below me. The 3-floor castle we live in now is just not tall enough for me to do my royal surveillances. From the 27th floor I will be able to keep watch over all of Wrigleyville, East Lakeview and other far reaching part of Chicago -- AND Lake Michigan. I have been promised 12 windows from which to view my world from the 27th floor.
I hope the 2-legger furson is leaving Pandora (btw..."Mz Piggy" is the right nickname for her) in the 3-floor castle. However, I have my suspicions. I overheard the furson telling the fluffy, air-headed Pandi that she would have lots of boxes and some new digs. I only hope that means Pandi is getting a new litterbox. The one she uses now is stinky! If on moving day I sense plans are to move Pandi-Pandi into my new castle, maybe I could stuff her in the closet!! MOL!
Updates to come. If all the readers of my diary would just leave me some treats, life would be great. I will need all the nurishment I can get between now and October!!

Queen Coffee, Supreme and Upmost Feline Ruler of Chicago and Wrigleyville.
About two months ago Mom bought a new pillow that the chiropractor said would be great for her neck. So she unwrapped it, slid a pillow case over it, and proceeded to test the pillow. The pillow has all the stuffing along the edges and the corners, leaving the center of the pillow hollowed out -- supposedly for a human head to rest, but guess what!?!?! I discovered the center of the pillow is the purrrfect shape to cradle a feline -- especially a feline of Royal lineage and Rules her Kingdom as all Royal Felines should.
By the second night of Mom and the new pillow, I had taken over the pillow -- but when she insisted, I allowed Mom a few inches on the corner where her neck was still nicely supported. You should have heard the gumbling and complaining -- she kept it up for days and weeks -- "I paid Big Bucks for a pillow and cannot use it!" "Why is it that I start out the night with my head on the pillow but sometime during the night a cat steals my pillow?"
Hmmmmph....I didn't steal the pillow -- it came to the house shaped for a cat to sleep on and since I am in the house -- oh let's say 24/7 and Mom is in the house let's say 10/7, that means I have the greater hours of possession so the pillow is MINE! She can use it -- just not the center!
One morning Mom complained to her sister, my wonderful Aunt Janet who lives in Maryland. Aunt Janet suggested Mom buy another pillow, but Mom said she would have to wait until next year. Aunt Janet just couldn't stand the thought of that and decided to come to the rescue! On Saturday the man dressed in brown and driving a big brown truck arrived to our building and left a package addressed to ME! It was a big box and I was hoping it was filled to the brim with nip, but was I in for a surprise! My favorite Aunt Janet who loves me sent a pillow exactly like Mom's...and sent it to ME with a note "here is Coffee's Christmas present!" Pandora cannot sleep on it and Mom cannot sleep on it! It's all MINE -- and the box it came in! Mom promised to take photos and post them so every cat can the best pillow in the world!
Now it's time for me to use it.....ZZzzzzzZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzz
Uh...Dear Reader, before I drop off into Feline Dreamland...don't forget to scroll to the top of my page and leave me some treats (more than 2 is nice and more than 10 is better).
My friend and hot-air balloon adventuring partner, Milagrito, tagged me to play a new game invented by Woozle: What vegetable, fruit or flower would you be? Milagrito said only the most brillant of cats can answer these questions which means the answers will be thoughtful and logical in cat-sense. I would like to add that the cats should be beautiful too!
I posed these questions aloud to my secretary and typist (aka Mom) who immediately said for fruit I am the Coffee berry (Coffee beans are the seeds of the Coffee berry), but I immediately put a paw up to her face in order to halt that line of thinking. Milagrito's instructions are to give the answers some thought -- and since I am a feline of long line of royalty and beauty and Supremeness, I would like to ponder the answers a bit longer (Mom! Please just type and not interject your opinions!).
First the vegetable. I chose the royal vegetable. The one that is slender, delicate - requiring tender attention, and expensive. I am Asparagus.
I could be the fruit of the Coffee tree, but I think it is only an alternate for me. Instead, I am the Queen of fruits. The most desired fruit of royalty. Like me, it has a long lineage and is desired by royalty because of its great benefit to a healthy life. I have that same effect of humans!! I am Garcinia Mangostana!
Now the flower ... {Coffee paces back and forth, tapping the side of her head with her paw.} Certainly the color has to be purple. Although Queen Elizabeth II would think the purple tulip might represent my royal stature and personality best, the purple tulip is really the "common" flower of royalty. With all due respect to my fellow Royal Felines, I do not think that fits my description. I am the flower with a purple bloom (the royal color). My flower prefers full sun (duh!) and my bloom time is unpredictable (could not have described myself any better). My foliage is always green with a soft, velvet or fuzzy texture (except for the "green" -- ME, ME, ME!), and my plant likes to be snug in its bed (no denying that's me)! It stands to reason, therefore, that I am the "Calotropis gigantea" or the "Crown Flower."
I will allow Mom to interject here that the Crown Flower plant likes to be watered regularly -- which is a trait I also share.
The final brain-taxing step in this game is to tag a few other felines who will give some thought to what vegetable, fruit and flower would they be. Hmmmm....I think I will tag: Pandora, Pedro, Fafnir...and let's see who else...there's Haley Ann...and...(better check your p-mail to see if you've been tapped by the Queen Coffee!)
Instructions to the reader of this diary entry: before leaving this page, you must scroll to the top of my page and deposit several treats in my Catster treat box. Several...such as 17 or 9 or 33.
