 Quick Bio:
 Coloration: Tortoiseshell

Likes: Sleeping and attacking my "sister" (who just ends up on top of me, biting me until I cry out - you'd think I'd learn)

Pet-Peeves: Being handled, picked up, petted, just plain being touched. Everything is on MY terms and I will decide when I want affection (which lasts about 10 seconds before I get fed up with it)

Favorite Toy: Anything that moves slightly on the floor - a piece of scrap paper, a ball of hair, a dying bug (wounded earlier by my "sister" Meow), oh and the LASER LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite Nap Spot: In the living room on a dark blue chair (I sleeps in the shadows and blend in really well) or under my grandparents' bed. Since it's been warm lately, I've been sleeping near the open windows or fan where it's extra cool!!

Favorite Food: Canned food!!!! I'm such a piggy about it too. I have "learned" that 4p is THE time to be fed (that's when my scary "brother" has 'learned' it's time he use to get fed!)

Skills: I can tell time!!! I knows when it's time to get up (6A) and when it's time for canned food (4P)

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story: When I worked for a vet's office in 2006, a client brought in a litter of kittens that they had rescued from the shelter. All 5 kittens were in poor shape and were only about 3 weeks of age when the nice couple nursed them back to health. On a dare, by my coworkers, I took the then 2 month old kitten home to see how long it would take for my parents to realize that there was another cat in the house. My mom - 1 hour. My dad - 1 week!!! Needless to say, the kitten was not meant to be kept, but after she wormed her way into my mom's heart (this time shortly after my mom's dad passed) by sitting on her back doing "biscuits" as my mom grieved, she became the newest (and last - for now) addition.

Bio: Unfortunately little Treo did not do well with the initial meeting of my dog. He accidentally scared her, by tryng to sniff her, enough to cause her to fall through the gap in the banisters onto the below steps. Since that incident we have had some occassional urinary problems that don't seem to be corrected with medication or diet for long. She seems tender near her hips but Xrays and a thorough medical exam has given her a clean bill of health. We just take one day at a time and address her needs as needed. She hasn't had any bloody urine, or urinating outside the box, for almost 6 months (her longest timeframe)!! But she has picked up the 'habit' of sitting in such a way that she leans to one side and looks like she sits with her hips thrusted forward - giving the illusion that she's much fatter than she really is.

Lives Remaining: 8 of 9

It's my sister's b-day today! That means she gets a special treat... but I don't!! It's not fair! I want a special treat too! Mom keeps telling me that I'll get a special treat on my birthday, but that's forever away still! Maybe I'll sneak some of Meow's special treat when no one is looking... hee hee hee hee.

I said goodbye to my big brother today. Everyone has been really upset and crying. He was here for most of the day then grandma took him to see mom and he never came back. Meow told me it was because he was really sick and it was his time. We weren't the best of friends, but I knew he loved me a lot because he kept trying to give me kisses (even when I didn't want any).
Mom and grandma have been really upset, so I've been splitting my time between them. They keep wanting to hold me, and I'm allowing it.... for now.
Goodbye bud.

So mom FINALLY let us get on here and updated out info. ('Bout time mom!)
So even though my stupid "sister" says that no one likes to hear about me, I'm going to post something anyway!
Ever since mom brought me home, and my stupid scary "brother" freaked me out and I fell down the steps, I've always been a wee bit tender on my hips. Sometimes I can't hold my bladder and go in/on places I shouldn't. Then mom and grandma get REALLY upset and start making comments about how I'm being a naughty kitty for doing it - but I can't help it! Sometimes I just gotta go!
So anyway, I started having potty problems again a few weeks ago. Mom and grandma are starting to think it's the plants that grandma brought in and that I keep munching on. What can I say... they are TASTY! So because I've been going potty outside the litter box, and mom says it smells REALLY strong, she took me to her work to have my urine looked at. But boy did I fool her! She was sent home early that day because SHE wasn't feeling well so she left me to stay in that place all by myself and OVERNIGHT of all things! I was NOT happy about having to stay and I let everyone know about it! They finally got urine from me (and not my way either, but they said they needed me to go and I was determine to not let them have any!) and ran some tests. Turns out I have a UTI and that's causing me to go potty outside the litterbox. They can't say for sure how I got it, but now mom puts nasty white liquid down my throat twice a day saying it'll helps me out. Well, it must be working because I haven't pottied outside the box, mom says my urine isn't so stinky, and I don't seem to hurt so much on my back end when people pick me up! (But they better not let that fool them because I still don't want to be touched!)
So mom says I gotta keep taking that gross liquid stuff twice a day for another couple of weeks and then we have to recheck my urine. (Good luck on that one... I won't give it up!)
