Pet-Peeves:
No one knows how long he went hungry before being found, so he is VERY food aggressive. If the other cats come near his bowl while he is eating, he lets out a growl like a jaguar, covers his bowl with his paws, and starts swatting whoever got too close.

Arrival Story:
Phoenix was found on the side of a road, just a tiny, skinny, starving little waif, who was so hungry he was eating roadkill. A wonderful woman named Eva happened to see him, and being the lovely person that she is, she stopped and picked him up. I had, that very day, made the horribly difficult decision to have my sweet black angel Merlin put to sleep, as he tested FIV positive and was very ill. All my hopes of getting Merlin healthy and letting him join my family were dashed, and I was truly heartbroken. I had done nothing but cry that whole day, and then I opened Eva's email, asking if anyone would be interested in this little kitten she had found. She was calling him Little Bit, because he was so small and frail. It seemed like destiny that he come and live here with my family, so I emailed her back, told her about what had happened with Merlin, and asked her to call me. She phoned the next morning, and we made arrangements to take this sweet little baby, who is now called Phoenix, seeing as how his appearance seemed to almost magically rise from the ashes of my loss of sweet Merlin. Phoenix is a precious little baby. So affectionate and loving, a very gentle spirit. I adore him!

I have been tagged! (By someone beautiful)

I have been tagged by the sweet, the oh-so beautiful Madison!

Here are my seven secrets: (shhhh....don't tell ANYpurr!) :)

1. I am the biggest cat in my household, and I am not through growing. Mama hasn't weighed me lately, but she thinks I am over 15 pounds already. Not an ounce of fat on me, I'm just BIG and very heavy.

2. I am a "Mama only" kind of cat. It isn't that I don't like the other hoomans, but she's the only one I give affection to, and she has the only lap I will lie in.

3. I insist on being the very first cat to the food bowls at dinnertime, and if any of them try to get there before me, I will knock their punk butts DOWN!

4. My Daddy has been heard to ask of Mama "do you think that cat might be cross-mixed with some kind of wild cat? He isn't normal!" Hmmmpph!! The nerve of him!

5. My hooman auntie says I seem almost eerily intelligent. She says my eyes have an "other-worldly" look to them. Yeah well, if I am "other-worldly" and know more than I should, that is one secret I am keeping to myself. :)

6. My furrends at BCCP (that's "Black Cats Crossing Our Path") mean the world to me. A big black cat like me couldn't ask for a better group of cats to hang out with! If you're a black cat and you haven't discovered this group yet, you are missing out! My buddies Bear, Morticia, Cavie, Odie, Snowy, Ashley and all the other wonderpurr kitties are hoot and half!

7. And finally....this is awkward for me but....*blush*....I have become quite enamored of a lovely little tortie. I can't quite put my paw on the instincts she brings out in me, but she makes me feel very protective. I am a big, strong cat, and I just want to lend her my strength and support for as long as she might need me. I would love to court her, but as her brofur is a good furrend of mine, I feel it would be disrespectful to not ask his purrmission first.

Now, if you're one of the kitties I tag and you don't yet know how to play this game, after reading my seven secrets, just make a diary entry like this one, listing your own seven secrets, and pick seven cats you want to tag, to keep this game going. Be sure to pmail them and ask them to read your diary, letting them know you tagged them,so they too will know what to do. If you don't yet have a diary...MAKE one! :) Be sure to pmail me after you do, so I can read yor diary entry! :)

The seven cats I am tagging are:


Monkey Butt

Galin

And to make sure I include some of BCCP's newest members:

Hershey

Lewis

Sonic

And Fellow Texan Cats: Harvey
and

Bess

 

So now I know :(

Ok, let's just say that I know now what "neutered" means, and we'll leave it at that, and never speak of it again, shall we? :(

I'm not the happiest of kitties right now.

 

Neutered?? What does THAT mean??

This morning, Mama put me in the carrier. I had no idea why. At first I thought she was just letting me inside of it to check it out and inspect it, but then....she closed the door on it!

She said I have to go and be "neutered".....but I don't know what that means, and I'm not sure I'm ready to find out! I could SWEAR I saw Sam and Boris snickering at me as Mama was carrying me to the car.

Last time she put me in the carrier and closed the door on me, she took me to the V*E*T, and they stuck needles in me and did other terrible, nasty, humiliating things to me. This better not end up anything like that again.

I'm scared. Mama is saying she has to leave me there to be neutered, and that she will see me later on today. Leave me where? Why is she leaving me? What if she forgets to come get me? Who is she leaving me with? I'm scared.

I'm too cute to have something bad happen to me. :(
