Favorite Food: My hair. -.-;; He's got a taste for feline greenies treats now though. He goes insane over them.
Skills: A loud, frantic, and just plain unusual purr, the ability to sneeze and sound like a person saying "Woof!", playing fetch, pretending to fall down stairs if you pretend to kick at him, and coming when you whistle for him.

Arrival Story: When we already had four cats my mother was in a pet store in Wisconsin, just browsing. They had loads of kittens, but just one adult cat. A very very big cat. That was Stormy. He was sharing a cage with a little black kitten, who he was taking good care of. She didn't ask to pet him but couldn't get him out of her head. She came back two days later and they let him out for her, and he instantly started his frantic purr and rammed his head into her repeatedly. She was smitten and put him on hold without telling anyone. The next day she wanted to bring him home, but there was a huge blizzard... that didn't stop her. We were worried about her when she came home late, but all she had to say was, "Come in the bathroom, I have a surprise" And that's how we acquired Stormy.
Bio: In his first home he must have grown up with at least one dog, his pet shop description said he got along well with dogs, and we soon found he drank from the toilet, played fetch, and said "Woof!" We can't imagine what would have lead them to give this great cat up, his only flaw is the nipping which is more annoying than painful. He's been great with out other cats, and young cats especially seem taken with him. He'll just lay back and let a confused kitten "nurse" on him for an hour! As one of few cats we have that will stay out when visitors come, he's a favorite among our friends, except the ones he nearly tips over ramming into their legs. In 2002 when he and Kyle lost loads of weight suddenly and had liver failure, he was always looking for hidden places where he could go to die, but I'd spend all day looking for him if I had to, and gave him his amoxacillan and appetite stimulants. They seemed to do the trick and he pulled through, he's heavier than ever now! In 2005 he had another brush with near-death when he spontaniously developed urine crystals and got a total blockage. He didn't show a single sign of it until one day when he started growling pitifully for no reason and didn't move very much at all all day long. Luckilly Cricket had to go to the vet that night so we brought him along. A few more hours and he could have had irrepairable kidney damage! We switched to urinary track health cat food and so far he's been fine, we're always pressing on his bladder to make sure it's not tender though so we don't get another scare like that!

I've Been On Catster Since:
Ohhh, Stormeh is hurt so badly! I am getting this little crystals in pee so they are sticking together and keep Stormeh from pee! Then Stormeh tummy start for hurting, is so full of pee! Luckilly, Stormeh is never growl usually so this Lindsay thinks he not working right, and Cricket is having go to vet anyway so Stormy get to go with. Vet is saying I come just in time, or Stormeh kidneys will getting hurt! They knock Stormeh out and do strange things to him, with tubes going in and out of everywhere! I am staying there two days and all vet peoples are loving Stormeh, then I get come home. It is still hurting but I pee now, and it is pretty Stormeh pink! And there are no more crystal in it. But Stormeh is pee everywhere, sometimes is just leaking out, or soemtimes am resting and it just come out... I not know what do! Is getting better, hopefully will stop pee on Lindsay bed soon...
Oh! And they are giving me medicines always! Little pills they shoot down my throat! I am not wanting these pills! Give the pills to some other cat. Maybe Morgan take my pills for me. And they are keeping putting food in Stormy face! I not want your food! Stormeh can live perfectly fine with no food (Note from Stormy's people- Stormy is wrong, he can NOT live without food! So eat your food every day, kids!) but they are making with big fussing. Lindsay is chase Stormeh 'round house with these little syringings and squirting the CliniCare in Stormeh mouth since he not eat. I used like the CliniCare but I'm not wanting anymore so don't give Stormeh this! I just want water. (Note from Stormy's people- Sorry Stormy, but we have to keep forcing you to eat CliniCare until you'll eat your canned food! Your Stormy-liver will fail again if you don't eat anything!)
So that is Stormeh big problem-not peeing story! Is more danger-having then 'lectrocutioning self, I think! Having go back for vetting tomorrow and they maybe give pills for making Stormeh hungry... but I not wanting more pills!
Gah.... other day, my friend Barbahrah come over, so I decide show off doing with playing skills. I find neat little plastic thing the Mutti plugs little phone into and make the little lights turn on. I decide is good toy for demonstrate playing skills. I knock down off table and bite... turns out is very bad toy! I guess I scream and thrash about and have stuck in mouth, and not is very impressive! In fact, I scare Lindsahy and Barbahrah half dead being and finally I spit it out and I felt all shook up! It turn out, if something have black cord going into wall andlights up, you should not chew! I am lucky is for little phone and not big phone for bigger shocking make. Shtormeh is not hurt, but he makes better choice next time to play. Maybe just bite ankle.
Gahh.... Heylo everyone! Today is special very for thees Shtormeh! They is picking me for being cat of today! I get my picture in plastic bag on front page, and everyone can come and look at me with sitting in pots and all! We get many new friend from dees and is making meh so happy!

I stomped on my Lindsay's alarm clock so she sleep in, and before dat I smash my face against her and get my stinky collar with the killing fleas all over her, is very funny! I even get chew on hair little before she put sheet over head! Deese weekend good friend Bob leaves her dog over, and he is big Russian man like me! Yes, is big Siberian Husky Travis and he will stay night in our garage, he will! I like heem, he is crazy like me, but is running faster! I want run that fast when humans throw ball for me to bring back or lay down next to. Is such fun game; will Shtormeh bring back, or lay down making? No one know! You dun't know, I dun't even know! Is best game!
