Quick Bio:
-cat rescue

Coloration:
Cinnamon-Tortie

Likes:
Playing. She lives for it -- especially if you throw a ball or one of her little mice UP the stairs so that she can chase it. There are toys EVERYWHERE in our house!!

Pet-Peeves:
ANYTHING that harshes her mellow

Favorite Toy:
The little yellow ball is still #1, but she loves those furry little mice, too. She carries toys around in her mouth.

Favorite Nap Spot:
She doesn't nap. She plays ALL day, and then crashes hard at night. Gets up in the morning to start it all over again!

Favorite Food:
Anything that is on Dad's plate -- especially CHEESE! She is a little Artful Dodger, and will steal anything from a plate in the blink of an eye!

Skills:
She has the power to bring an adult human to their knees with a single "meow."

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
Galena was found on PetFinder, and we only just today (2/11/07) finalized the adoption from the rescue group. She will come home to us next weekend, after we're certain that some little snifflies aren't going to become a full-blown URI (don't want to infect our resident cats!). UPDATE: Galena is home now (see her diary) and getting used to us at her pace. She's staying in our guest room for the time being, until she begins to wonder whose little black paws keep reaching from under the door. Right now, though, we just want her to feel safe and secure being in a new environment. With time, she will realize that she's home and that we're her forever family. UPDATE: Galena is totally at home only four weeks after arriving. It is as if she has always been here. It's nice to have the pitter-patter of little feet running around the house again!

Bio:
It has only been about six weeks since Malaika passed, and while there's no way we could fill the tremendous void that she left, we wanted to open our home and our hearts to a cat in need of a forever home. When we met Galena, we knew that she would be a wonderful addition to our home and a good companion for Marty. Galena is very laid-back and introspective, which is good since we already have our Alpha cat (Emma) running the show. We can't wait to bring her home, and once we learn more about her, we'll be sure to update this page accordingly!

Superflirt!!

[ Leave A Comment ]

Mom and Dad have a new name for me: flirt or superflirt. I know how to work my cuteness, and Mom says that, if I were human, I would wear tight pencil skirts (whatever those are) and cha-cha shoes. Ok -- whatever. I can't help it if I'm irresistible -- so why shouldn't I use it to my advantage? I know when they're watching me, so I make a point of rubbing up against everything and being cute. Cute, cute, cute -- that's all I am -- and I'm two scoops of it, too!


The MeMe game

My best friend, Sissy, has tagged me to play this very fun game called the "MeMe" game -- MOL!! Oh, I do love a good game, and this one sounds like a lot of fun (and it's a great way to get to know my friends just a little bit better!).

THE RULE:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to select seven cats to tag and then list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment (via p-mail) that they have been tagged and that they need to read your diary.

MY SEVEN RANDOM FACTS:
1. I was adopted out once before coming to my forever home -- only to be returned after a month for not being "lovey" enough -- hrmph!
2. My Mommy and Daddy originally thought that I would be sweet and demure -- well, the joke's on them!
3. Despite my petite size, I am a hoglet, eating everything in sight!
4. I am a begger. If Mommy or Daddy has a plate of food, my little face is right there in it. And if they try to ignore me, I tap them three times on the leg to remind them that I'm still there, waiting.
5. I came within seconds of being euthanized when I was first picked up by animal control. My foster Mom stepped in at the last minute and took me off the table before I was given the injections.
6. I never sleep on the bed with Mommy and Daddy, but rather prefer a pillow on top of the cedar chest at the foot of their bed.
7. I vocalize a LOT -- most of which sound like worried little "whirs" and "chirps"

I tag the following cats on Catster:
Smudge Oreo Green O'Rourke
Miss Mickey the Shmoo
Daphne
Muddy
Miss Dback
Mara and Malaika
Cybil

Have fun with this!!

What's an "instigator?"

Mom and Dad say that I'm a tiny little instigator -- so cute and charming but oh so disarming.... My favorite thing to do these days is to attack my big brother Jake. I like to bite into his big giant neck and hang on him like those little fish that are forever pestering sharks. It's great fun, and pretty amusing to watch, since he's twice my size. I love to ambush him from behind the love seat when he comes toddling by -- you'd think by now that he'd expect it, but he never does! I'm forever stirring up something around here, which is pretty funny since I'm so little and cute!
