Arrival Story: I'll never understand people who buy purebred cats & then chuck them out as if they are trash. Whomever owned my sweet BabaLoo before throwing him away was sure to declaw him, but did not neuter him. I'm guessing the former owner was of the "artsy fartsy, frou frou, upper crusty" sort who wanted to make more money by using him as a stud. Perhaps Edgrrr didn't know the rules of the game & peed on a really pricy couch or rug, as he was found roaming a VERY well-to-do neighborhood without his claws, but with his, uh, hmmm, you folks should get the picture. His picture & description was put on found posters & put up all over the place & local vets were told of where he was found & of the shelter who was holding him. He was in the system for over a year without anyone inquiring about him, or offering to adopt him. The shelter decided that he would have a better chance by placing him in the PetsMart adoption bin & as fate would have it, we found each other, most likely in the nick of time. When my husband & I went to buy the petly provisions, I took a look at the "inmates" & saw that I was able to go into the room for a better look. I said hello to everyone & all the kitties would respond to my speaking to or petting them, except for this guy. He was skinny & sleeping in his potty. It was only after when I picked him up & held him did he let out a heartwrenching meow & tucked his head in the crook of my arm. When he opened his eyes, I saw how brilliantly blue they were & saw the absolute need of love in him. It was a few days before my birthday & after doing all the paperwork & finagling, he came home to us on my birthday & has been the best gift ever. He helped me through some personally trying times with illness & the loss of my dearest puss Manny. Edgrrr is a great friend & sweet kitty. Edgrrr loves Mama & Mama sure loves her Edgrrr!
Bio: After joining us in our home, Edgrrr has had a hard time fitting in with the rest of the gang, as he is declawed & a bit of a brat. He found friendship in our "Big Daddy" Chowder, but just when they got really tight with each other, old age stole Chowder away from us in June, 2004. Chowder's son, Manny (the greatest puss who ever lived!) had helped Edgrrr get through the grief & chummed up to him. Just over a year after losing Ol' Chowder, Manny had to be euthanized on Sept. 23, 2005 after suffering a very quick & nasty illness that stole him away in less than 3 weeks of the initial symptoms. Both Edgrrr & I (as well as Manny's brother Leo, who is deaf & relied on Manny for a whole bunch of things, & their sister Dottie) grieved this loss very hard. Things took a turn for the better when I brought home Sugar Wray Atlantic Blue WooWoo (the aforementioned "Woodelly WooWoo") & February's Muddy Waters (a.k.a. Pansy Petunia), 2 Siamese kitties. Although WooWoo has a nasty case of genetic Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex & may have a short life ahead of him, he & Edgrrr are dearest buddies. The 3 of them, all pal around & are referred to as "the blue eyed crew." May God grant Edgrrr & I a break in his shortlived "kitty" friendships & let WooWoo live as long as Edgrrr does. Everyone needs a good friend, no matter what species, & WooWoo & Edgrrr are best friends.

I've Been On Catster Since:
I finally got my beloved & most revered human, my darling Mama, to update my page with new pictures to help us celebrate Spring & Easter. I've been oh so happy when we are able to open the windows so I can snooze in sunbeams & watch the birds, bunnies, & other critters frolic & partake of the goodies left out for them. We had out first thunderstorms of the year yesterday & I was NOT happy! I HATE thunderstorms & will hide in the craziest places (my current favorite spot is behind the toilet) & am inconsoloable all the while. When things calmed down, I took to following my Mama everywhere. I sure love to bide my time with her. I'm so delighted when she'll let me cradle myself in her arms, or rest upon her head (cat hat!) while she slumbers. Being that she is also nocturnal, it's awesome that she keeps the hours I prefer, so I party & play while she taps on that thing she calls a computer (what a waste of time, she could be rubbing my belly or simply admiring me instead) & just about when I feel it is time to wind down, she's calling for me to come with her to bed. How awesome is that? I bet a lot of you are running around & smashing planters & knickknacks while your humans are sleeping, but mine is right here, ready to break up any ruckus & also to rescue me from the more fesity of the group. I have been ranting at her to put up a Catster page for WooWoo's sister, Pansy Petunia, so she can direct her attention & unwanted affection to others. That crazy kitty thinks I'm her girlfriend. I only have eyes for my "Mama," doesn't she get it? Any way friends & fellow Catster kitties, Mama is working on a page for Pansy, who is a silver tortoiseshell calico Siamese. She's very pretty to look at, but she is quite feisty & to put it lightly, CRAZY! It's hard for Mama (or anyone for that matter) to catch her sitting still for the flashbox (humans call it a "camera"), so her pictures are not going to be as lovely & beautiful as my own, but then again, she's not nearly as beautiful as I am, so be nice when grading her beauty. Be sure to look for her page within the next week or so. Well, I am off to cuddle & purr with my Mama. Let me send a shout out to my Catster pals from all around the world. For all of you in the Northern Hemisphere, let's get together & rejoice that Spring is here after such a long & boring winter! For all of you Christian kitties, may you & your families have a Joyous & Blessed Easter.
Yes indeed, life is good! I now have my two side kicks, WooWoo & his sister, Mudge (needs her own page already) to heed my every beck & call. We three are known as the "blue eyed crew." They adore me. The other cats fear me, well, actually they fear Mudgey most, as she will rip fur out of those who dare insult me, but back to me, I am awesome. I am beautiful. I am delightful. I know it. My humans know it too. I love spending my time with my "mama" best, as she spoils me as much as I should be & there's nothing better than sleeping in her arms, even when she implores me to move my cinder-blockish body so some blood will reach her hands, sometimes I willingly oblige, other times I am actually thrust away from my favorite & pre-warmed spot. I get back at her by staying in the view of the TeeVee when she wants to look at it, as I must show her that looking at my butt is certainly preferable to the dreck she is trying in vain to see. She has started to feed me some very tasty & delectable canned foods by Weruva & Merrick. Oh my, they are so darned yummy. It's great to be catered to & this stuff is really good smelling & tasting. I heard "dad" complain about the price being steep, which makes these foods all the better. I shall demand to keep getting this stuff & turn my nose up at the likes of that cheapo stuff that I really like, just to make a point. Bigger price equals better kitty snobbery. It's bad enough on their budget that I have demanded Royal Canin 33 for 4 years now, but this Weruva stuff is awesome. The Merrick is equally good, but I'll keep up the charade of how much better the Weruva is, as it is hard to find & a tad more costly. I heard that mama is going to get me a new fuzzy bedgrrr because my disciples have taken over my current one. Ah, it's good to be King! That has a good ring to it, King Edgrrr. Don't you agree? Yes, life is good...
Oh sigh! Oh groan! Oh woe! Oh sorrow! My mama is not home & I'm desperate to have her here. She's only been gone for about 10 hours, but I am in a tizzy without her here. She had put out a big bowl of my favorite crunchies (Royal Canin 33) & gave the whole lot of us some canned yummies & babbled on that she'd be home soon, but she LIED! She said she was just going up to my human grandparents' home, but I usually go with her when she's to stay overnight, but not this time. SIGH! I've looked out the window & that moving house is not in the driveway yet. I'd gone into the office & warmed up her chair for her earlier this evening, but gave up around midnight. I brought down Mr. Sharky & a few of my mousies in case she was in the TV den, & then brought up my turtley & chippymunk & laid them on her pillow, but I'll be shaved & painted green, my Mama is still nowhere to be found. GROAN. I've caterwauled an opera & even left her plants alone, yet she isn't home to commend me. Woe is me! I love my mama so much & really wish that she'd have stayed home with me. I really dislike to be without her & when she finally comes through that front door, I am going to ignore her & make sure she is well aware of the fact that I do not approve of her leaving me all alone. I like my papa & all, but he's not appreciative of my talents & never seems pleased when I bring him a "hunting trophy" (even though they are actually what my humans call toys, it's still an effort to slap & fling them into total submission, then carry them to lay them gently at their feet) & papa never lets me know how wondefully clever & stealthy I am to bring him these treats (if they were "real" they'd be able to feast on these wondrous critters.) I can't understand why he never commends me for my hunting skills, unless, perhaps he is jealous that I, too, could provide for my most revered mama. This waiting for her is sheer agony. I hope I can hold out on my "angry act" for more than a few minutes, as I really want her to know just how sad I am without her to snuggle & settle down with. I hope she has a good reason for not returning before out usual bedtime. She best bring me a consolation prize. I'm going to go sulk in my bedgrrr on the dryer for a while. I'll tell you how my ploy for more attention plays out after she returns. I hope you've all slept well & have a happy Wednesday, as I will not sleep well, nor have ahappy day until I am back in her arms & admired for my charms & skill. I'm going to commence my pity party now...
Sincerely,
Sir Edgrrr Halibutt >^-_-^<
