Arrival Story: I was volunteering at the Siamese Rescue booth at a cat show one Sunday morning. I figured it might be a bit slow, so I brought some pix of my cats to show the other volunteers. They included pix of Rafiki, my Savannah. About a month later, I received an e-mail from one of those volunteers with a photo of Ben, and she asked "is this your cat?" As an intake volunteer, she goes to shelters and evaluates any Siamese they get for the rescue program. She saw Ben, and thought he was a Savannah. I got so upset. I can't go to shelters because I cry just thinking about all the animals that never make it out of there. And now, by sending me a picture, it made it very personal. I called the shelter for more info. He was very unhappy in the cage, so they put him in one of the dog runs during the day. I was also told he didn't get along with other cats. I felt terrible. I asked them to please call me and not euthanize him if they couldn't find him a home. I had a big master bed room that he could have at worst, but hopefully, I'd integrate him. I called every week for eight weeks. Finally, they told me to put in an application and come see him. He was friendly but not overly. I didn't care. How could he be his normal self with a stranger and when trapped in a shelter? I took him home a week later. He's a sweet kitty and very friendly even with strangers.

I was chasing my tail tonight. I was sitting up on top of Mommy's cosmetic box which sits on top of the toilet tank and underneath a small cabinet. It snuck up behind me. I lunged for it. Then it was up high in the air. I jumped. All this while on top of the cosmetic box. Mommy laughed at me. She said 'Ben you are smarter than that. That's your tail you big dummy!' Of course I know it's my tail, but that doesn't make it any less fun!
Mom was busy all day cleaning and doing laundry and stuff. She did play with me a little bit in the morning, but I wanted more attention. I really wanted to go outside, but that didn't happen. Anyway, I followed her around to check up on her progress when finally she took a bathroom break. I followed her into the bathroom and hopped up on her lap. She said 'Benjamin, this is really not a good time'. I thought it was the perfect time - the first time she sat down all day!
I've been having to eat prescription food ever since the vet found that I have kidney stones. The last time Mom bought a bag of the dry food, she noticed that the size and shape of the kibble had changed. She figured it was a new formula. Then she noticed that I wasn't really that thrilled with it. Still, she kept feeding it to me. One day, she decided to double check the recommended feeding amounts. There's a chart on the bag that goes by weight. The first column read 'weight of dog'. Dog?! She turned the bag to the front. There it was. A big ole outline of a dog. What is the matter with her? Is she blind? How could she not have noticed???? She needs to slow down ...
