I am very sad :(

Princess hates me! I don't know why because I am a very likable kitty. She attacked me while I was sleeping and she scratched the area of my back where my tail starts. Well it formed into an abcess and then it broke last night. That's when my mummy noticed my booboo. She hustled me off to the vet and he fixed me up like all brand new. I was so afraid at the Vets because I heard a big dog barking. I hid my face in mummy's coat hoping to disappear from this place. The Vet listened to my heart and then he told mummy I had a severe heart murmur and that I could have a heart attack any moment and die.

Mummy cried for me. That vet guy put a cone around my neck!!! How silly do I look? I am being very nice and purring loudly to make mummy feel better. I get to stay in mummy's room by myself for awhile. Mummy visits me often and makes me feel good

People can be so mean!

How could my former humans just leave me at a shelter after 8 years together. They made me stay outside even in the winter when there was snow on the ground. I live indoors now and have warmth, food, and much love.

People who say they hate cats have problems. That's for sure! They don't know how to give love and end up lonely bitter people. They are the kind of people who would rather have a cat put down instead of spending money on a vet. My mummy says she has 4 cats and these misery people say..."Why would you want so many?" Then they say..."How many more are you going to get?" They say it sarcastically too. Mummy says " I had to save Missy! She was going to die!" Then they change the topic cause they don't care if a cat dies. These people are to be avoided at all cost.

The Meaning of Rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed,
I'd like to open my baggage,
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry,
So much to regret.

Hmmm...Yes, there it is, right on the top,
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my perch hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave,
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.

Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things,
And take me right back?
Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage,
Will you still want me?

Rescued Cat

Once I was a lonely cat,
just looking for a home.
I had no place to go,
no one to call my own.
I wandered up and down the streets,
in rain in heat and snow.
I ate what ever I could find,
I was always on the go.
My skin would itch, my feet were sore,
my body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat,
or gently say my name.
I never saw a loving glance,
I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me
was really lots of fun.
Then one day I heard a voice
so gentle, kind and sweet,
And arms so soft reached down to me
and took me off my feet.
"No one again will hurt you,"
was whispered in my ear.
"You'll have a home to call your own
where you will know no fear."
"You will be dry, you will be warm,
you'll have enough to eat,"
"and rest assured that when you sleep,
your dreams will all be sweet."
I was afraid I must admit,
I've lived so long in fear.
I can't remember when I let
a human come so near.
And as she tended to my wounds,
and bathed and brushed my fur.
She told me about the rescue group
and what it meant to her.
She said, "We are a circle,
a line that never ends."
"And in the center there is you
protected by new friends."

"And all around you are
the ones that check the pounds,
and those that share their home
after you've been found."
"And all the other folk
are searching near and far."
"To find the perfect home for you,
where you can be a star."
She said, "There is a family,
that's waiting patiently,
and pretty soon we'll find them,
just you wait and see."
"And then they'll join our circle
they'll help to make it grow,
so there'll be room for more like you,
who have no place to go."
I waited very patiently,
the days they came and went.
Today's the day I thought,
my family will be sent.
Then just when I began to think
it wasn't meant to be,
there were people standing there
just gazing down at me.
I knew them in a heart beat,
I could tell they felt it too.
They said, "We have been waiting
for a special cat like you."
Now every night I say a prayer
to all the gods that be.
"Thank you for the life I live
and all you've given me.
But most of all protect the cats
in the pound and on the street.
And send a Rescue Person
to lift them off their feet."

Shout it out!

I just want to say that I am a very happy kitty!!!!!!!

Love Missy!

Missy is the sweetest kitty!

People can be so stupid and cruel! Cats are innocent and they need us to make good decisions for them. Missy had severe chin acne and her little chin was inflamed and sore. When she cleaned her face after eating she would growl because it hurt. She was only 4 lbs and she was going to die if help didn't come to her immediately. She needed good quality food and lots of it and love too. That shelter was so awful! Very stinky and Missy was being kept in a small 2' x 2' cage for most of her 4 months in the shelter. Because she had chin acne I guess she had to be kept away from the other shelter kitties. Her food and her litter and her box was all side by side. I have no idea as to the brand of food she was being fed. The food is donated and the brands keep changing. I was so afraid Missy was going to die because help came too late. Within 2 days I seen a big improvement and her appetite was very good. The first month she was in her new furever home, I just opened a new can of Fancy Feast every time her bowl was empty. She ate about 3 cans a day. I finally had to cut her back to 1 can a day and dry food because she was getting real plump! She is just right now. I hope those people never have another cat as well!

I can't tell you how much I love this magnificent cat! Today she came over to me and rubbed her body on my legs! It made my day!

My name is Missy.....

1. When I came to my furever home on Dec 24/06 I weighed 4 lbs. Now I weigh 8 lbs. and I feel very happy!
2. I tolerate about 15 seconds of petting, then I get angry. I didn't know that humans touched kitties!
3. I ripped two 3" holes in mummies screen door to see if I could get outside! Darn, she had the screen replaced with stronger screen.
4. I was in my furever home for 4 months before I would play with the string and feathers. Mummy thought it was weird that I wouldn't play. I never had a human play with me before and I thought she was just trying to annoy me!
5. Bella is my new best friend. We have great fun! She slaps me on the head once and runs away, then I chase her and slap her on the head. Then I run away. We do this several times before we stop. I never hiss at Bella.
6. I had severe chin acne when mummy brought me home. 2 weeks later it was gone and now I have lots of hair on my chin. I feel so happy about that!
7. Princess sometimes attacks me! She bear hugs me and rips my hair out! You should hear the screaming! I rip some of her hair out too! What is her problem? Willy sometimes comes to me and slaps me with his paw several times before mummy yells at him. For 4 months they ignored me and just rolled their eyes at my hissing whenever I seen them. Now I don't hiss anymore and they want to beat me up.

Hello Everycat!

I still hiss at them a little especially when they furget to stay back from me. Last night I ran as fast as I could from one end of the house to the other 6 times! It felt so good to run!! I am coming out of my shell Mummy says.

Bye fur now.....

A Pet's Prayer

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more greatful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footsep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth. Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshiper.

Keep my pan filed with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you if it were dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest - and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
