Brutus

Burrrrrrrrrr

I don't know what happened! When I moved to Florida I thought that meant it would be warm all year long! Well, it is COLD now. Momma put a sweatshirt on me but I am still cold. Now I am spending most of my time in my pyramid bed with the little heater pointed at it. Momma got a bunch of new sweaters for me, and even a thick jacket, but they are mostly too big. She said something about growing into them but I don't know if I can grow that big!
Somehow momma turned all my nails purple while I was sleeping. She seems to like it a whole lot. I don't really care but it is harder to hold on to stuff now. It's like everything got slippery all of a sudden.
Momma seems really happy that I will bring my toy back to her if it 'slipps' from her grip (maybe she put those things on her nails?) but now there is this new red dot toy!!! With the red dot toy there is nothing to bring back! I can't seem to ever catch the dot. I can't smell it eigther. It is a Great Big mistery that I intend to solve!
My sisters are getting a little bit nicer but they still won't play with me. Momma took me out in the backyard the other day with my harness on. We walked around the yard but when I got close to Kitty, my oldest sister, she attacked me! It didn't hurt or anything. She didn't use her nails but it really scared me.

Oops! I forgot to introduce myself!

Everyone I have ever know already knows me so I didn't even think about introducing myself. Luckily my mamma was able to explain to me that some folks that read this might never have met me! My name is Brutus, but it was Leroy before that. I was born somewhere far away from where I live now. I know that because it took a long time for me to get here. I am called a Peterbald, a very funny name. I guess it has something to do with how my hair is very, very short and my ancestors come from some place called Russia. My momma tells me that I could have had sone of several different coat types (with too many names so I can't remember them all!), but that I got the best one! I have very short hair, like less that 2mm long! It is a little longer on my face, tail, and feet. Where I was born there were lots of other cats and kittens that were so much fun to play with! One day I was put into a tiny, tiny little crate and was driven far away to some place with lots of planes. I went on one of those planes and was supposed to get on another one but something went wrong and I ended up in a small cage where there were lots of other cats. Early the next day I got on another plane. After I got off that plane I was moved around alot. Finally, my mamma and papa came and took me into another car. I was very scared but liked my new parents immediately. When I finally got to my new home I was very happy to find a really big crate with everything I could want that was just for me. The crate was always open but I liked to stay in it unless my parents were in the room. From the very first night I was sleeping with mamma & papa under the covers of our BIG bed. After a few days I met my new sisters. I had smelled them before that but never saw them. I was very happy to see there were some other cats around for me to play with. They are all very beautiful, big kitties and I really like them. I don't know why, but they don't like me :(
When ever they see me they growl and hiss. I have never seen kitties act like that! I though all kittes were friends :(
Mamma & papa say they will like me eventually. I hope so! They have started to growl a little less.
Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed has enjoyed meeting me! I love absolutely everyone, especially you!!

I turned 5 months today!!

So my new mamma tells me. I didn't get any presents but I did get to play for a long, long time with the feathers and bell on a string toy! I love that toy! I love it so much that if mamma throws it far away I will chase after it and then bring it back to her so she can continue playing with me. I don't know why she keeps on throwing it, I think she isn't strong enough to hold on when I bite really hard and pull and it just kinda slips out of her hand! This was working very well for a while. We would play then she would 'accidentially' let it fly into the other room, then she would fold some clothes (I have NO idea what that is about!) and I would bring it back and we would play again. A little later, for reasons I don't understand, mamma cut the feathers and bell off the string and just started to throw it around. I brought it back to her a few times but it is not nearly as fun as when it was flying around and i could jump all over chasing it. I hope she will put it back on the string!!
