Arrival Story: Alfie. Where do I start? He was the only cat I have that I set out to get. I don't mean him specifically but I always longed for an orangie. I have a friend, Suzanne who is very involved with a rescue group here in Montreal.She called me March 2006 all excited.There was a litter of kits, she heard they are "amazing" Oh yea, 2 of them were orange/white. So this time I was determined to not let my heart lead the way. I said TOTAL orange, cause that is what I wanted. She sounded a little miffed.Are you not listening she asked me? They are great kittens! So what if they are orange and white. So I am ashamed to say I said, no thanks. That week-end the kittens went to adoption day at a local pet store. It was nasty weather and the adoption day was not a success. All this time I was obliviously carrying on waiting for the perfect orangie. Thank heavens Suzanne called me again. You are going to be so sorry she said. So OK I can be stoopid but not THAT stoopid so my friend Ellie drove me to the house where Alfie was living. It was a Sunday( March ) Momma cat and her 4 kittens were all there. I made a bee-line to the kitten with a smudge on his chin who would become my Alfie. I held him in my arms. He got very cosy and started purring. I fell madly in love on the spot. Never even held the others.It was as if I was afraid of letting go of him. HE IS MINE or is it the other way around?
Bio: Alfie's momma was a little orangie who followed a nice lady home. Nice lady thought she was taking in a fat boy. October 1,2005 she had a lovely surprise when "fat boy" dropped a gift on her bed. (4 kittens, one of whom would become my Alfie. With the help of her 2 young daughters she did a marvelous job of socializing them. When I first saw him one of the little girls was bringing out the 2 brothers. One each hanging like a stuffed toy from her arms. I am also happy to say that the nice lady (whose name I don't recall.) ended up giving away the babies but she kept mama cat:)
When my vet first met Alfie she said she wanted him!!! I mean she really did!!! She had me call the nice lady to see if Alfie's bro was still available. Some lucky person had taken him. (Wish it had been me.)

I was reading the gorgeous Samoa's diary.
She said she is tagging the first 6 who read her diary.
So I was first, cause I hang on her every word!
1. What color is your collar?
I don't wear a collar on a regular basis. Mom likes to photograph
us wearing seasonal collars like Christmas or Easter Fluff
2. What kind of food do you eat?
I eat Wellness wet. Chicken is my favorite and
Orijen dry
3. What are your favorite treats?
PureBites, it's freeze dried chicken breast.
It is from the USA and USDA approved!
We are all crazy for it~so yummy!
4. Do you have a Valentine or significant other?
I don't, no. There are too many beautiful girls here and I continue Wally's tradition of being a flirt.
I do have a list of dreamgirls which I will share with you
tomorrow. ( I bet you won't be able to sleep tonight! MOL)
5. Do you get table scraps?
Mommy is mean and says NO!NO!NO! She even has grandpa
living in fear. Mean mom!!
6. What is your favorite toy?
I am not all that playful but I cannot resist laser lights and
DaBird!
7. When is your birthday?
October 1st
8. How many times a day do you eat?
3 times a day
9. Do you have a favorite color?
Orange! I love orange and the colors of fall.
10. Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary?
One can only hope! MOL This is fun cause you get to know your friends a bit better. Not to mention that you increase your
chance of being a DDP ~which is always fun
Now it's your turn! Copy and paste these questions in a diary entry. Then tag or not~6 of your friends, and send them a note to read your diary.
Mom got an email from someone who works for HQ in customer service Somehow it came up that he is based in Texas!
Mom was so amazed that not everyone is in San Francisco
! I think she would work for HQ just for zealies!
Some of my friends didn't vote enough in the World's Coolest Photo contest to earn the most zealies. (100)
Which made me think of a game we played ages ago but it's still around.
So just in case you are new here or just forgot, there is another fun way to earn zealies. It is the cat or dog breed-photo game.
Mom and I found the Dog breed Photo Game
much easier than the cats.
Go figure! MOL
If you play? Don't be afraid of the EXPERT level. It really
wasn't more difficult but you sure accumulate points faster!!
The maximum zealies you can play for is 250 which is pretty
good!
Have fun!
Bonks
Alfie
PS I have yet to play the tag game. I haven't forgotten.
So please keep reading my diary. I am so honored by pals who read and who leave comments. It so nice of you!
OMC! They must have made a mistake.
They think I deserve to be a finalist for BEST IN SHOW
Oh noes! I think they are giving me the sympathy vote.
The picture is one of Wally and me.
Mom entered it the last minute. Not even a digital picture.
There are so many better ones who deserve to win.
I am seriously puzzled but I think in this case just to be a finalist amongst such great photos is an honor.
Thank you~
