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 just joined the Feliway group. Mommy says we may have to try that again. I have been pretty unhappy about Mom's schedule since she got her new job, and I've let her know it. I started spraying things again. I take Prozac you know; for that same reason. It worked very well, but I am not getting enough attention these days. Mommy has started playing with me now as soon as she gets home for about twenty to thirty minutes. Then she feeds me my dinner. This morning I really wanted some lovin', so she set me on her lap and hugged me and gave me kissies. I sat with her for a few minutes and purred happy purrs. I feel a little better about things, but I can tell she is very unhappy herself. That makes me feel nervous too. I sure hope she can find a different job sooner rather than later. Things are way too stressful here these days. As my friends know, I haven't even been here on Catster. Mommy said she will help us try to get caught up this weekend. I hope so.
Thank you, thank you Catster for picking me as a DDP! Thank you, thank you friends for reading my diary! I got special concatulations from Hazel Lucy and from Buddie ... Always Loved and his furmily. Gleek sent his concats via my Voki and Hooch and his furmily sent me a special little blue bird. Thank you so much for those special greetings.
All that excitement has certainly made up for a blue Monday. Mommy went back to work, and it was cloudy all day. I was hoping Mommy would go back to bed again after she got up this morning, so we could have some more quality time together. Then she told me about my special honor. I got lots of pets and a big pile of my favorite chicken treats. Yum! Life is good.
Mommy was sick this morning. I heard her get up at an odd hour. Then she was a bit late letting me out of my apartment. When she did she said "I don't feel good Benjamin. I'm going back to bed. Will you keep me company?" Of course I would! I hopped right into bed with her, sat on her legs until I wedged myself down inbetween, and then we both went to sleep. A couple hours later, she made herself get up. I kept her company while she showered. Then she took me on the deck. What a lovely day it was. Cool and breezy but sunny, sunny, sunny! I had a great Mother's Day. I think Mommy did too.
