Arrival Story:
We met her at an *adoption event* We went out on a simple trip on a Saturday to the pet store to get more catnip but we ended up falling in love. A nearby shelter was 'showing' some of their cats that were available for adoption. We weren't looking for another cat. But this petite girl caught our eye. She was so sweet, very friendly and we could tell she had such a big heart. We fell in love and when we learned that she was "the cat who was with this shelter the longest amount of time, and that with her birth defect, she was having trouble finding her forever home." That made up our minds to apply for approval to adopt her. I just about danced around the house in joy, the day her shelter/rescue called and told us we were approved.

Bio:
She was found by a friend of the shelter president, outside of her work. It was noticed that "there was something wrong with her right rear leg" After being captured and brought to the shelter and given her standard veterinary exam. X-rays showed that her right hind leg had Grade IV Medial Patellar Luxation - fused solid at the patella. It appeared that she had been that way from birth. Our vet told us that some cats can tolerate this condition for many years, some for all of their lives, with minimal consequences. However, the weakness of the knee joint can predispose the knee and even the hip joint to other injuries such as degenerative arthritis. At which point we may need to amputate that leg. Currently, she shows no signs of pain or discomfort, is very adaptable, and has no trouble walking, or jumping up to surfaces. She enjoys sitting in the windows in the warmer weather or near the heat in the winter months. No-one ever told her she had a *defect* ... And we won't tell her either!!!! ;)

What is your name? Sweets. I was named (accurately) by my shelter. Since I knew my name and it suited me, my family kept it.

What other nicknames do you have?
Itty, Itty Bitty Pretty One, Babies, Sweetses, Smeagol, Boots (that's a recent one in reference to my Cousin Aldo and my shaven legs)

What breed are you? The most common. Domestic Short Hair. I'm a calico/tabby

Where were you born? Easton? Allentown? - I don't really know.

Where do you live now? Bethlehem, PA

What is your favorite toy? A red canvas "mouse"

What is your favorite store? SuperPetz, I saw my "forever family" there !

How many toys do you have? More than I could ever play with

Wet or dry food? Dry and *special* diet

What is your favorite color? purple

Are you bad when nobody's looking? How would anyone know, if no one was looking? I am "bad" in the mornings when I want my family awake. I have ALL sorts of *tactics* to accomplish that goal.

Are you friendly? If I know you well enough.
The veterinary staff seems to think so!

Are you overweight? Maybe a little?

Do you eat people food? No... Not at my shelter and not with my forever family. Maybe I did, with people before, but I don't really remember.

Do you eat bugs? No, I'm civilized

Do you live with other animals? Yes, unfortunately. At my shelter there were many. At my forever home only 2 cats and a hamster.

Do you like to exercise? Not really, I prefer snuggling.

What is your favorite treat? I had a Royal Canin Urinary SO wet pack that was good one time.

Do you shed? Yes, and I can make *snow*

What's the funniest thing you ever did? Stand and meow at everybody who came near my cage at the vet hospital. I'm not really "funny" - I'm more the "cute and adorable" moments type of girl.

Are you a social animal? Not by choice.

Do you belong to any clubs? I have some Catster groups that
I'm in.

How does your owner describe you? My family tells everyone who will listen how unbelievably sweet, cute and adorable I am. To them, I am perfect !

The lovely (and prickly thorn in Nuk's side) Miz Rose has tagged me to play the "5 Things I'm Thankful For" game.

1.)
I'm thankful that I had a shelter who was willing to look after me until I found my forever home. However long that might have taken.

2.)
I'm thankful that my forever family needed catnip that fateful Saturday.
Without their going into that pet store, where my shelter was having their "Adoption Event" on that day, at that time, I don't know how I would have met my family.

3.)
I'm thankful that I have a family who loves me. A family who will take me to the Tortury if I'm sick or even if they fear I'm sick. I do not love the Tortury, but they make you worse, so that you can feel better.

4.)
I'm thankful that I'm on the "smallish" side and petite bodied. I can climb all over and curl up on my family, in ways that the "Galut Nuk" and "Pumpkin Gabby" cant. Also that my eyes look so big, in my little head. It makes for a look that my family can't resist.

5.)
I'm thankful for "morning breath" and "man armpits" - both are such delicious smells.


Guess where I've just come from?

Dear friends, care to guess where I just came from?

That terrible cat & dog tortury that the humans call "veterinary hospital"

I was sleeping ever so comfortably on my blanket box when I was rudely scooped up by Papa and put into that hateful pink portable jail.
Yes, yes, then the car ride to the Tortury.

At the Tortury, even though we had an appointment, we had to wait awhile. There were a lot of Emergencies today. That's ok, I have nothing but time and if any of my family had an emergency situation I would want the understanding of other kitties and doggies while my family member was urgently attended to.

After we went back into the private torture chamber room, my temperature was taken, my incision looked at, my belly poked and prodded.
All looks good.
I don't have to have my stitches out - because I don't have any on the outside. All the stitches that were inside of me were the dissolving type.

I'm eating my special food and making my * Sweets products* as normally as anyone could hope for. In fact I heard my family say "That now when I pee, they can actually hear the *flow*."
How weird are they anyway?!? What are they doing listening???

I just started my second bottle of antibiotic yesterday. That's the one without my pain medicine mixed into it. No more pain medicine for me. That's ok too, I'm feeling much, much better.

I've been so thankful to be home and with my family, that I've been extra loving. Crawling up on them and curling contentedly on them to take my naps. I want them to know that I love them and that I love being home.
