Arrival Story: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Kaci Sunshine's third home. A friend of mine adopted Kaci and her sister Mittens when they were a little over 1 year old and they lived with her for 8 years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was grief stricken when my sweet Abby went to Rainbow Bridge and had no plans to get another cat. There's a saying, *the former cat sends the new cat* -- my angel Abby definitely had other plans for me! One month after Abby went to the Bridge, I learned that a friend was dying from cancer and desperately seeking a home for her two cats. It was only a few days after I learned of their plight that I made up my mind to adopt them. Kaci and her sister Mittens came home with me on January 29, 2006. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bio: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci is my little sunshine girl. She's a sweet, affectionate snuggle-bug who is blessed with a sunny and happy disposition. She adores attention and everyone making a fuss over her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci is very outgoing and friendly and likes people. She's very curious about anything and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci loves to play with her toys. She loves her boogie mat, red catnip apple, catnip candy cane and she especially loves her little furry mice . She carries the furry mice in her mouth and makes mournful-sounding meows and cries when playing with her furry mice. I wish I knew what it meant!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaci was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in December 2008. She is taking medication and doing very well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Records provided by Kaci Sunshine's original veterinarian list her birthday as May 1, 1996.

Diary of the Day on April 7, 2009
Cat of the Day on November 7, 2008
Looking so spiffy in my hat. Me is off for an afternoon tea party.
Kaci and Mittens don't normally eat Fancy Feast for breakfast but this morning I gave Kaci some FF Oceanfish & Tuna because she seems tired of her usual breakfast food.
I wasn't paying a lot of attention to her but she either didn't eat the food or only licked it or smelled it. It didn't look touched. It was her reaction to it that was strange. She walked away and began gagging and drooling and spat up foam. Afterwards she seemed perfectly OK and was able to eat something else and has appeared fine since then.
A little while later Mittens approached the food and sniffed at it. Mittens doesn't like FF Oceanfish & Tuna so it didn't surprise me that she didn't eat any. But she had the same reaction as Kaci. She began gagging and threw up white foam. Again, Mittens was ok afterwards and has no signs of any illness.
I immediately tossed the food down the garbage disposal and put the cat dishes in the dishwasher. I looked at the food and it didn't look strange. It smelled stinky but to me didn't smell any stinkier than it usually does.
What could possibly be in the cat food that would make Kaci & Mittens gag and spit up foam just by smelling it? Has anyone else ever had this happen with their cats?
CatsterPlus members can receive comments on their photos! However did I miss this feature? Our friends Roger Bleu and TT brought it to our attention in the Catster forums. It may not be much of a revelation to others, but I simply didn't know about it. (Duh!) You go to the kitty's CatsterPlus Photo Book and underneath each photo, you can leave a comment just like you do with diaries. Now that I know about it, I'll be having fun leaving comments on friends' photos. I think I'm gonna love this feature! Wish non-Plus members could get comments too!
My sister Mittens wrote about the arrival of Mr. Buzzy in her diary yesterday. Mr. Buzzy was plump with a greenish hue on his wings. He was flying around and even making noises. Sometimes he would land on things and stupidly just sit there. Mr. Buzzy was rather clumsy. Mittens and me were very excited by him and we chased him around last night. Then Mittens got tired and went to bed.
Not me! Mr. Buzzy was driving me crazy! I chased him and was running around and jumping up and down off of furniture like a wildcat. Wherever Mr. Buzzy went, I followed. Mommy was watching. Finally I jumped up on the bed to catch Mr. Buzzy. . .
Slap went my paw at Mr. Buzzy . . .
Mr. Buzzy fell to the bed . . .
I pounced with both paws . . .
Well, you might not want a description of what happened next but Mr. Buzzy was no more!
I was so pleased and proud of myself and mommy says I had a very smug and satisfied look on my face. I was purring and settled myself next to mommy, gave myself a nice wash and went to sleep.
