I'm pretty sure I'm staying forever

It's been a while and I'm still here. Things are going great, except my two brothers are not as much fun as I would like them to be. They are old men and sometimes get mad at me when I want to play. Jack is more even tempered than Felix, but they both seem stuffy to me.

Mommy says I'm getting "round" but I'm not sure what it means. She has weighed and measured me and says a bunch of it is just appearance due to my fluffy winter coat, but she did say something about getting pudgy since my operation. What does she expect? When she first met me I was chasing around three kittens. Doesn't she realize how many calories chasing toddlers burns?

Anyway, this is the life. I have awesome toys, really yummy food, a bed of my very own (even if I only use it once in a while) and a mommy who brushes me and loves on me every day. Sometimes I still think I'm dreaming, but then Felix or Jack will swat at me and I know it's real. I am so glad I picked this mommy out of all the people who came to visit the man who was fostering us.

I'm afraid to hope

I think I've found my forever home, but I'm afraid to get too attached. I've been moved around so much, but it seems I've been here longer than anywhere else and my new mommy says I'm her kitty forever. The nice person who found me out in the country kept me for a while and tried to find my family, but then I was shipped up to Louisville. I was given to a group called Shamrock and after a while ended up in the home of this really nice man. His owner, Mia, was not so nice to me and my babies though. She hissed and spit at us, but the nice man gave us a room where she couldn't bother us. Then one day, a few people came by to visit me and my babies. That is where I met my current mommy. She was so nice and I jumped onto her lap and tried to tell her I liked her. The nice man told her how I much I wanted to go live with her too.

Then one day, the Shamrock people came and took me and my babies away. The nice man kept one of them, but the other two left with me to go to the vet. I had an operation and the next thing I remember, I was at another home. It was the Shamrock lady and there were lots of other animals there. It was ok, but she said once I recovered I would have to go to a pet suppy place and wait for a forever home. I was scared. Then one day, the Shamrock lady took me to my new mommy's house. I th0ught I was home since she said she was keeping me, but then I moved somewhere else. It was really nice. I had a room all to myself with 21 windows, and my new mommy came over every day. It confused me, but she said it was just temporary. She said my brother was in the kitty hospital and had to get all well before she could take me home. The man watching me was a good friend of hers and without him, she would not have been able to give me a forever home. I was kind of confused, but if my brother was sick, I guess it made sense to wait until he was better before taking me home. The man was nice and mommy came every day, so it wasn't bad. I was just tired of moving around and wanted to settle in.

Finally, after a week, mommy came to get me. She took me home and slowly let me meet my two brothers. Jack is kind of nice. Of course, he's an orange guy and we rule. Felix, the sick one pees where he shouldn't even though he's not sick anymore, and we don't like each other too much. Mommy scolds me when I chase him around, but I just want him to love me. I wish she undersood. I have all the toys a kitty could ever want too. Sometimes, mommy lets us go out in the garden with her. We are all inside kitties, but she has a fence and watches us, so she says it's ok for a little while every few days. I am really happy, but still worry I won't be able to stay here. My mommy has introduced me to her vet and got a special carrier with my name on it, so I guess I shouldn't worry so much. I just want to stay here so much and hope every day I get to. So far so good. I'll keep everyone updated. Please wish me luck and hope my mommy means it when she says I'm hers forever and ever. She is a really nice mommy and has never yelled at Felix for peeing everywhere, so I don't see her giving me away, but I've never known a real forever home.
