 Quick Bio:
 Coloration: Calico

Likes: Chomping, generally causing pain, unleashing Grumbly Powers Of Destruction, drinking out of your water glass

Pet-Peeves: Everything. But particularly when Mama goes to the bathroom before feeding her. BOY that pisses her off! Oh, and also when Mama and Papa go away, and they seriously think The Grumble is going to let a catsitter give her insulin shots. Yeah, RIGHT!!

Favorite Toy: Socks, and twistie ties.

Favorite Nap Spot: On my husband, preferably while digging in her claws. Also likes to nap in the bedroom doorway in order to prevent its closure. Also likes to nap under the bed, excellent for stowing away and popping out to demand a 3AM feeding.

Favorite Food: Wet food. Also dry food. Also Katie's food, which she's not supposed to have because of the diabetes.

Skills: She has Grumbly Powers of Destruction. Oh, and she is very skilled at The Sock Game. That's where you throw her socks and she catches them out of the air and puts them underneath her. Then you throw her another sock.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story: She adopted me in the basement of my building in New York. She was a kitten, and someone couldn't keep her so they'd put her down there to be a mouser. The other mouser cats weren't letting her eat, and she was too young to catch anything, so she was starving. I brought her upstairs and I've been hers ever since.

Bio: She has diabetes and gets insulin once a day. This is easier than you'd think.
She's one of the funniest cats you'll ever meet - so much personality! We just love her.
Grumble passed away on August 1st, 2006 of complications related to her diabetes, hyperthyroid, and kidney disease. We miss her terribly, and will never forget her! Go hug your kitties - love them while they're here.

It was very confusing. Papa was away again, and Mama slept with the door open. But I didn't like that this time. I wanted the door closed and papa home! Now that papa has returned from the dead, I am feeling happier and more like having a cuddle.

Right now, I am putting up with having to have my insulin shot every day. This is mostly because biting has proven ineffective, and Mama just lets me bite her and gives me the shot anyway. I must bide my time and think of another way to get out of my daily insulin shot.
However, this morning I noticed Mama grabbing my stupid sister and forcing a syringe of nasty orange medicine down her throat. This pleases me greatly. Now the shoe's on the other foot... how do you like THAT, sister?
Perhaps my Grumbly Powers of Destruction won't end up being necessary after all this time, now that my sister is getting her due.

But not for me, for my stupid big sister. At around 11:00, Mama and Papa started worrying about her and talking in loud voices - couldn't they see I was napping?
Next thing you know, the sucker's managed to get herself stuffed into a cat carrier (just TRY getting me into one of those!) and Mama and Papa hustle her out of the house. They wisely come back about an hour later without her and start lavishing me with the attention I deserve. I have a brief moment of bliss where I think they have finally come to their senses and realized that I am the only cat they need.
However, at about 2:00 a.m. they went back out and returned with my sister, and now she smelled funny like that bad scary place where they poke and prod kitties for no reason at all. I had to hiss and growl at her so she would know to take her bad scary smell away from me! And now she's acting like she owns the place again. I may have to unleash my Grumbly Powers of Destruction (TM) on her.
