Coloration: Black Smoke
Likes: I just love to play and run. I enjoy scaring my Humans with my "Black Lightning" or Dissappearing Acts. I like to walk outside on my leash, and to chase rabbits and birds. I love to pester the Humans, so she cant sleep and cursors and balloons rule!!!!!!!
Pet-Peeves: HAIL! Every since the big June 29th storm and the hail that busted the window, and the wind that took the tree away, I spazz when it hails out. Other storms I love though. Fish is gross. Pink is icky. Hello Kitty scares me. Oh, and I dont like male dogs!
Favorite Toy: I'll play with anything really.... I like to steal those panty-hose thingies, and to play with my mice! My favorite has to be the "Flippy-Things" though..... you know, feather on the strings and such!
Favorite Nap Spot: My cat tree is the best, I'll lay on my back while in it! I also sleep with Human, and on her bed, and in my bed.
Favorite Food: BEEF JERKY!!!!!!! Chicken, Rice Krispies cereal, bacon, hot dogs, french fries, pizza cheese...num! whipped cream, and those big ol' sandwhiches Human II makes! Yum!!
Skills: I can wave, hi 5, sit, lay down, come, and heel/walk on a leash, destroy anything my paw touches... I've recently learned how to sit up and scratch on my post, I also jump on command. My new special skill is I can play Blackjack with Human.
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story: I have a unique story... my humans german shepherd, Dallas had just died, and human wanted another pet. That day, she went over to her aunts house. Her aunts rottweiler, Sunny, happened to see this little black thing in the yard and picked it up. Sunny carried me to my human, set me in her lap and went off to do her buisness. It was 90 degrees out, and I was 4 weeks old. Skin and bones. My human thinks my mother either abandoned me, or was killed. Anyway, I was very sick. Half dead, the human and auntie rushed me to the vet where I got some nasty medicine. I was inseperable from my human from that day foward! Rescued by a dog, I think I am a dog, and walk on my leash, fetch, and have alot of other K9 characteristics.
I was found the day Dallas died. I truly am an angel.
Bio: I live my life on the high road. Im always on the move, sleek and powerful like the mighty panther I am, Im the queen of the roost. I dont care what people or cats think of me. Im me and its who I am. Learn it. Love it. Live it. Im me and its who I am. Im a master of mischief and creative chaos. Always on the move, I find and explore new fun everyday, and always get into trouble while Im at it! However, I always pause to smell the roses. I may not be the brightest crayon in the box at all times, but I know my way around certain things, and I know that I've got some good pals, and some good humans. I have a good nature and a big heart. I love everyone. Spayed: August 21st 2006

Humans turn. Cheyanne is a very smart cat. She took to her harness and leash immeadietly, like she had been wearing it for years! After I put it on her anyways, but it was a brand new one, so maybe the old purple one smelled like the other cat. She was afraid of it though. Her Royal Chey-ness will also let me know when her water is dirty. She'll slide her little nose under the edge and slide it off the dresser. She'll also do that if its too low. She hates when she drops a piece of food too, as she will move things to get too it, even though her bowl is full. She does that when something is in her way too.... off the dresser it goes. She knows how to jump, sit, wave, shake, lay down, and 'shoulder' on command. Shoulder is what I say when I want her to hop onto my shoulder which usually she will. She'll also smooch on command. She used to claw her way out from under the bedroom door, untill we nailed a board in there. She has to stay in my room when Im not home cause shes my cat, and shes "destructive." *sarcastic*I wonder why. Shes a CFA Household Pet. She began her show career in May 2007. We need to work on cage training her, because she kept trying to escape while being judged. She kept doing 'pity me meows', which are the most pathetic mewls you'll ever hear. But oh, she melts everyone when she does, and the judges just love her! A good thing. Shes a very good kitter, and when that horrid day comes (God forbid it) I dont know what I'll do with out her. I just love her to death!!! ~Dawulf~
UPDATE : Never have I met, or heard of for that matter, a cat as smart and witty as Cheyanne. A certain look or meow (be it mew, chirp or yowl) tells me exactly what she wants. It is almost an unearthly thought, and if she had thumbs, she would be ruling the world. She has an obsession with buttons, and knows how to work the remote, laptop, and stereo. Granted, she doesnt do much with them. The remote, she turns the tv on and off, knows how to put on the star trek DVD (which I usually have in the DVD player) on, and changes the channel. Once, she was out of food in the middle of the night, so she turned the tv on, and turned the volume all the way up. With the stereo, she'll turn it on and off, and she knows how to stop the music, or skip to a song she likes. On the lap top, she helps me play solitaire, by pressing the enter key and flipping cards. She also likes to write. To help her write, I hold the pen (or pencil) and she will swat and nose the top of it, causing the writing utensil to scribble. Last time she did it, there was what looked to be a heart shape, a "S", a "K" and a "B". I wish I could teach her to do my homework....

5:15 AM this morning of October 30th, a phone call woke everyone up. Human sleepily reached for the phone which said "Central Station" on it, and showed an 800 number. She rolled over thinking "stupid telemarketers" and attempted to drift off again, when she heard Human IIs phone go off. Its very noticeable, for the ring is the entrance to Metallicas "Enter Sandman". Suddenly out of the silence of night, a lone siren sounds. Human raises her head to listen. Soon another comes, then another.
5:30 AM, Human II gets a call from the gas station, that he and The Human work at. He tries to call them back, but no one answers. He gets up, says hes gonna drive by and see whats going on. Human gets up too, waking me up, and tells him shes going too. He refuses to let her and she stalks back to her room, disheartened.
5:50 AM, Human II calls Human and The Warden (formerly known as Granny) with an update. The station was on FIRE! There was 6 fire trucks, and guys on the roof hacking holes, and flames shooting out the top, and smoke everywhere! Human was stunned! This place, that she had been going up to for the past 12 years, that she had worked at for the past three, was in flame?
Human got up immeadietly, and phoned her friend, who works there too. Had that place not have been there, they would've never met, and now this place was burning to the ground! After she got off the phone with him, she called her mom. Not thinkin her mom believed her at first, but she became as gossip-hungry as anyone else, and as that goes, Human was - and still is - starving!
Of course, when Human was out making her calls, I escaped the room and wound up in the Wardens. Warden doesnt like me in her room so started complaining. Of course, I could sense the tension, and darted between Humans legs into the living room, around into the dining room then to the back of the house, while she chased me. We did that about four times. Human was glad I was there to lighten the mood, but I was just mad at her for getting up. I was asleep between her legs.
7:30 AM Human II finally came back (reeking of smoke, mind you) and they drove past the station. Everything was stained in smoke, and there was a gaping hole in the peaked roof. Human II says everything is ruined and will have to be wrote off. They'll all have to either be transfered to other stores, or find new jobs while it gets fixed.
Cause of the fire is uncertain, as of now. Very possible that it was electrical, but personally Human thinks the manager was smoking in the office again. Shes a smart one.
Today, September 11, 2008, seems very dismal in Omaha. This morning, no sun shone through the clouds. Rain poured down, and continues to, as the evening progresses. It seems as though all the Angels in Heaven are standing together, greiving with the country as We Remember. Large tears continue to spatter the ground. Thunder rolls through the metro, as the celestial beings continue to sob. Dark clouds curl over white ones, consoling eachother, and banding together. Lightning shoots through the skies, as anger burns through the unified beings. We remember.
This passage is in memory of those lives lost on that wretched day, seven years prior, and for all those men and women who have banned together to support and help rebuild this country as life goes on. Not the politicians; but the American people, for without these great citizens, this country would not be.
As many of you know, I'm sure, Human volunteers out the Nebraska Humane Society. (NHS)
A few days ago, the NHS seized 117 cats, 1 Rabbit and a Raccoon from a ladies home in Council Bluffs, after she had been caught shoplifting over a $100's worth of cat food from the local Walmart.
Human went in today, at 8 am, to help out. With the big raid, and it being a Saturday, Human figured they'd be swamped, but they were the exact opposite. However, by the time she got there this morning, 40+ cats had already been euthanized. Many are testing possitive for Feline Leukemia. They are also finding Upper Respiratory Infections in almost all of them, ringworm, ear mites, and Dental Disease due to the deplorable conditions they were kept in. Later though, she spoke with one of the vets, and they said they are actually going against protocol to save as many as they possibly can... Yay Vets!!!
When she was in surgery, she saw them spaying and neutering a few kits, one actually stopped breathing when she was in there, but they got it (not sure on gender, think it was a he) goin' again!
She only got to bring up 3 cats today, a 8 mos old tortoiseshell she named Kashanti, a Giant Black Cat that looked like me, just 20 times bigger, Simba, and a white with orange one, Chelsie. Had she named the black and white/orange one, the black would be Goliath and the white/orange Queso. *giggle*
Human was up there until five, helping out the Vet Techs and such. Had her mom not have been there, she most likely would've stayed another two or three hours, even after her already 9 hr day. She just wishes for every cat to be happy until they find their forever homes, and for some, it takes awhile.
We have two 13 yr. old cats there right now, whos owner had had them from kittenhood and decided she didnt want them anymore. Tears Human up. But they are sweet cats, and the Torbie plays peek-a-boo from under her cat bed. Teehee!
Anyway, so start Purrin' for Adoptions, kits! We have over a hundred up for adoptions, not including the cats seized, in Isolation, Maternity, Stray, Owner Surrender, etc.
