Learning about life

Farewell, Dear Friends

It is time for me to say goodbye. The vet says that I had a thickened heart. My time on this earth may have been short, but I had so many people who loved me that my days were well-spent. I will miss all of you:

*My foster mommy Karen and foster daddy Scott and all of my brothers and sisters there, they gave me a wonderful life and I will miss them dearly
*My mommy Ashley and daddy Lucas who I only had a few weeks to spend with but I know that they loved me as much as I loved them
*My brother Leo, even if we didn't always see eye-to-eye, and my sister Minco who was the best partner in crime any cat could have
*Everyone at CAT who made me feel at home: JohnJ, Hunner, keseph, aardvark, moogle, and even Sam, though he kept making jokes about Korean food

I found my forever home! :) :) :)

I'm purring this diary entry from my new forever home! Foster Mommy's typing for me, though, because we haven't yet transfered my page to my new mommy and daddy.

It's a lot quieter here and less crowded than at my foster home. There are two humans, my new mommy and daddy. There are also two other cats, my new sister and brother. They're both persians, and their names are Minco (my sister) and Galileo (my brother).

Foster mommy, foster daddy, and I took a ride in the truck to my new home. I was scared, but excited too. They dressed me up in a red harness and leash that Carbon sometimes wears, and brought along my catnip mousie toy. Also something round and shiny they called a license. In the truck, I wanted to hide under foster daddy's feet, but I had to stay on foster mommy's side of the truck. She let me hop up onto her lap and look out the window for a bit, but everything was moving so fast that I climbed down again and watched the shadows.

When we got there, they called up to the apartment and my new mommy came down to open the door for us. There are lots of doors in my new home, and long hallways that I will eventually get to run down. When we got into the apartment, Minco came up to me to see who/what I was, and we meowed at each other. She seems friendly enough, although she doesn't like when I come right at her. I sniffed around for a couple minutes, then slunk underneath the dresser. My new parents got down on their stomachs and petted me, telling me it was alright, and letting me get used to their smells. I could hear my foster parents telling me it was ok, too.

I spent quite a bit of time under that dresser, getting used to my new surroundings, trying to figure out why we were all here and what this place was. Finally, I came out and went over to my foster parents, rubbing against their legs. They encouraged me to go say hi to my new parents, which I did, and I decided I like them! Minco is nice, too, but stayed at a distance. Leo sat in the window the whole time we were all getting acquainted. I explored the living room, the closet, and even a little bit of the kitchen before going back under the dresser to hang out. My new daddy came and gave me a treat under the dresser.

When it was time for my foster parents to leave, I growled and hissed at them, because I knew a little bit what was going on. They petted me, and I shared a nose kiss with foster mommy, then rubbed against my new mommy and meowed at her. When the door opened, I sat down and looked at it, but stayed inside my new home while my foster parents left. They're so happy I've found such a nice new forever home!

And...I'm going to stay on Catster! We're going to transfer my page over to my new mommy once she makes an account, and my new brother and sister are going to have pages of their own too! Also...I'm going to get to go to work with my new parents! There's an IT group called CAT, and I'm going to be their mascot! Oh, and I'm going to have a new name, too, once they decide on one that suits me.

*happy purrs and smiles*

Spooky

Kinda sad

The lady who Foster Mommy thought was going to adopt me hasn't called in a while or returned any calls. Foster Mommy says I shouldn't worry, that I'm still loved and it just wasn't the right home for me. She says she's still looking for the right forever home for me, though, but it may take some more time.
