Arrival Story: I had lost to illness my precious princess Gabrielle who had owned me for 11 years about three weeks before. I wanted to adopt a kitten. Amazingly there were no free kitten ads in the paper and the shelter had no kittens. Finally the shelter had one black kitten for adoption (Gabby had been black too) we raced down to the shelter only to find a couple in the process of filling out the papers to adopt the kitten. So I looked at the adult cats; I could hardly stand it, I was in tears because I wanted to take them all home. But my husband didn't want an adult; he thought it might have bad habits already. As we were leaving an employee or volunteer at the shelter said: "pssst! you want a kitten?" Seems she had a friend who was an animal rescuer who had a cat with a litter. The whole family, mama and kittens had been found in a box taped shut in a parking lot! (I hate some people). I went to go check out the kittens and there were four gray tabby girls and one little orange boy. I had gone intending to adopt one cat; a girl. (yes, I do like semicolons). Well after picking Edgar's sibling, Emily from the available girls left I said the fateful words: "Oh give me the little orange boy too." And the rest is history.

The Last Forum I Posted In: A Ceremony of Love - Tansey's Fancy and Smoke
I'd like to thank all my pawsome furriends who sent me concatulatory gifts and messages fur my DDP yesterday. I hope that I have sent you each an individual thank you and not missed anycat!
Since Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and one of the questions in the Valentine's tag that is going around is: "what is your favorite love song?" Mommy has put love songs that she likes on my page and my sisfur Emily's page. Careful if you listen... mommy seriously cannot listen to the one on Emily's page without getting verklempt! MOL! She can't even tell another human the story of the lyrics without getting choked up! So silly!
Lastly, I'd like to send many heartfelt purrs to the furmilies of Rocky Ann and LeRoux who both had to make their journeys to the Bridge yesterday. You will always be loved precious ones.
After several days of acting really weird by not picking me up and not letting me on her lap and not squatting on the floor by me, mommy came home this evening and swooped me up off the floor and held me like a baby and hugged the stuffin's out of me! And she snorgled my tummy (buried her face in it and blew on my tummy like some human mommies do with human babies... only this has GOT to be more fun with fur involved, right?)! And I purrred and purrred and purrred!
Whew! I was really starting to get depressed and worried about her behavior. I mean, yeah, sure she was still petting me and bending over to kiss my head or hug me when I was snoozing on the ottoman and stuff like that. But I'm used to gettin' my stuffin's hugged on a regular basis; at least once a day!
I actually had to fight with her fur the mommy territory I had claimed in bed the other night! She's been sleeping with this big danged pillow on her tummy and hips so I couldn't properly get on top of her. But the other night I staked a claim on her ankles and spread my 14 lbs plus across them and refused to be dislodged!
So I'm sure glad to see this improvement in her behavior. Especially since that cold, wet, yucky snow is still all over everything outside, making running away not a furry attractive option at all! Let's hope things are getting back to normal around here!
I know that many of my furriends care about Nicholas and I've promised to keep you updated. So here is the update. Mommy called about him today.
The first thing they said is "he is back from the vet and he is much better now!" Mommy thought "uh oh..." Yup, he had another health issue. Seems he started having trouble breathing and it turns out it was a sinus infection, secondary to the nasty infected teeth they removed. They said his prior owner just let those bad teeth go toooo long without doing something about it. But he is on a new medicine and recovering.
The other two people who had shown interest in adopting him never followed through either. And PetSense has not heard from Siamese Rescue even though my good furriend Hershey sent them all his information some time ago.
But, the good part of this report is that Jo, the PetSense employee that mommy always talks to, once again showed real love in her voice when talking about Nicholas and said she was glad he was "home" (back at the store) that she had missed him and that he is so sweet. She would take him herself but she has seven cats at home and a husband who has reached his cat limit! So Nicholas is loved and getting health care.
wishing ALL kitties could have a furrever home purrrs,
Edgar
