Arrival Story:
One day I drove the dogs to the dog park near our house before going to work. As soon as I got out of the car, Mercy started meowing loudly at me from a tree inside a huge empty lot that was secured by a chain-link fence. When I called to her, she immediately jumped off the tree and came to the fence but I couldn't figure out how to get her over to my side. As soon as I dropped the dogs off at home I brought her some food and water and slipped it under the fence. My husband went to check on her after he got home from work. At the time, we had our cat Bibi, who was very ill from cancer. I worried about Mercy all night and the next morning she was back in the tree. I walked around and finally discovered a larger opening under the fence, called to her, and she crawled right out. She didn't mind being picked up but she was shaking. She appeared to be clean, so I thought for sure she was lost. Our vet thought that she was about 7 months old and she had been spayed. She was scanned for microchip identification, signs were posted, but no one claimed her. We were so happy!
Bio:
Mercy was a blessing as our 17-year old Bibi shortly succumbed to her cancer. She's a good girl who is affectionate, goofy, and polite. She absolutely loves being talked to and responds by giving us short meows while squirming around in odd positions. If my husband or I cough, clear our throats, or talk to each other while she's napping nearby, she'll let out a meow with her eyes closed because she thinks we're talking to her. Mercy is very sociable and likes to greet visitors. I think she will always be young at heart.

I was born in the USA, I'm independent, and I was free!
Someone had a bright idea in this heat to plant some flowers out in the backyard today. It wasn't me and it wasn't Mom. It was Dad. He said it needed some color, so they went to the garden store this morning.
We can't wait to check out the pretty stuff, but some of us will be disappointed that our beloved dirt holes will be covered up. I might have to ask Quincy and Cosmo to dig up some new ones.
As you can see, I'm not outside helping in this heat and neither is Mom, but she did go and lay the flowers out where they should be planted and will go water them when Dad's done. The hard part! Well, it wasn't our idea!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July weekend!
Love,
Mercy

I got a bath today for the very first time in my adult life! Why? Mom said that I don't allow her to brush and comb me enough and my fur was looking ratty. She also said if this bath didn't make me look better then she was going to take me to the vet to make sure everything else is okay, even though I am acting like my usual self.
I watched Mom get ready for my bath in the downstairs bathroom. She brought in towels, kitty shampoo, the camera, and then me. Dad told her to bring gloves but she told him she wouldn't need them. Mom thought it would be best to get in the enclosed tub with me instead of worrying about me trying to jump out. It was a good decision because that was exactly what I tried to do. I also cried a few times but never once did I try to scratch Mom.
I'm going to add a picture of me after my bath and then Mom and I are going out in the backyard so that I'll dry off quicker, as it's very hot here today and the air conditioner is on. Then she's going to try to brush me! We're all due for our monthly flea meds too.
Speaking of fleas, my virtual brother Derby has to be treated for fleas now! He has eight FooPets friends, not including me, so we have fun playing and taking care of each other.
Love,
Mercy

All this talk about Take Your Pet to Work Day depresses me. If it were allowed, Mom would take me to work with her.
Mom's office is in a suite on the 4th floor with a window view. There are five other people with offices there and they joke and call it the Pleasure Dome. Am I allowed to say that? Ooops...too late!
I could pack a bed and take naps by the window. There's room for a litter box and I could eat my meals in private! I could walk around the suite and check out everyone's offices and sprawl out on the couches in the waiting area. I could talk to people and get all kinds of attention! I don't have fleas and I won't scratch anyone.
Who can I write to about this?
Love,
Mercy
