Arrival Story:
I met Feisal after my first ruddy Aby boy, Kukla (may he rest in peace) died of FIP in July of 2001. After I lost Kukla, I was devastated - I'd never heard of FIP, for which there is no shot and no cure. But I knew that I wanted another ruddy Aby boy because I loved Kukla so much, and because ruddy Abys are, IMHO, THE most beautiful Aby color there is. So my breeder (who's just the BEST!) from whom I'd purchased Kukla (and who suffered with me throughout his entire illness) said I could come pick any other kitten I wanted whenever I felt emotionally ready. In Aug., of 2001, I went to her house - and there was Feisal ... BUT the little bugger wouldn't come out from under my breeder's day bed in her cattery!!! His mom played with me all afternoon but I was beginning to think Feisal didn't like me! But after awhile, he emerged and came home with me. He's named after Prince Feisal in "Lawrence of Arabia" (played by Sir Alec Guinness).

Bio:
Feisal has a little-known Aby talent: he's a boxer (and a Southpaw, at that!) You give him an index card or some other type of stiff paper or cardboard, hold it in front of him, and he "leads with his left" using first his left front paw, then his right, to push down on the piece of paper, beating it and "boxing"! He will do about 8-10 rounds with one paw and THEN ... voluntarily switch to the other paw! Jake LeCatta lives! As far as other things about Feisal, my husband calls him "World's Smallest Bastard" but, like every Aby, he's loaded with personality, friendly, welcoming, fun, energetic and very bonded to us both. Plus, he's gorgeous. He schmoozes our pizza delivery guy by standing on the kitchen counter and parading up and down, like he's saying, "Don't hate me 'cause I'm handsome - just pet me!" He loves attention, and stomps all over our bed when we're in it, usually at pillow-level (so we know he's there). His miaow, like Livia's, is very soft and bell-like. He loves to give head-butts but isn't much of a lap guy. Guess he figures his little sister, Morticia, gets all the lap time, anyway (which she does ...)

Me and the beautiful Zilla were married today in 2008! It would have been our 3rd anniversary had I not had to go to the Bridge this past August.

But she knows I still ADORE her! And now I can watch over her more carefully - and one day we'll be together again.

Meanwhile isn't she BEAUTIFUL ....

*sigh*

I LOVE YOU ZILLA!

Your ruddy boy forever

One Month Bridge Annversary Today

Hi all,

Can you believe it's been a month today since MomKatt sent me on my way to The Bridge? She can't. Neither can I, really. September has seemed to just fly by.

But I really like it up here. It's so nice not to have "the runs" 24/7 anymore ... and I feel like my old self again, I'm all bouncy & stuff & I'm learning to fly with Torrie's help ...

MomKatt's better, too. She knows I'm safe, that I'm still around keeping a paw on her activities ... me & Torrie & Kukla are catching up with each other (since I didn't have enough time to get to KNOW Torrie in the first place, this is nice).

Being an angel kitty isn't such a bad thing. And MomKatt's at peace w/sending me on. That's good.

Love
Feisal

 

Check THESE wings out!

WOW!

K.C. did a MEOWvelous job on these wings! Thanks, my furriend! So what do ya'll think? Do they suit me? I think they do!

I'm having a blast flying around up here - and of course, being an Aby (THE supersonic breed), I'm flying faster than most of the kitties!

I told Torrie & Raincloud that we needed to start some kind of flying school ... or hey! Maybe a squadron of exhibition Bridge Kitty Fliers, like the Blue Angels on Earth!

Man, this is exciting.

I've been checking on MomKatt, it's not all been fun & games here at the Bridge. I *DO* miss her, and I've seen she's feeling better about deciding to send me on my way here. Really, it was the right choice. I wasn't feeling well at all, and I wasn't going to get any better. Now, I'm whole and happy and in no pain.

I visited her one day about two weeks ago while she was running. She was thinking about me and realized that, while she DID want me back, she didn't want me back the way I was, then realized that *I* wouldn't have wanted to return to her the way I was, either. And when the thought came to her like that, it put it all in a better, clearer perspective.

I miss you MomKatt but you have kits there that need you - all my sibs need you & DadKatt. And I know you miss & love me still ...

Purrs,
Feisal
