All settled in...

My Meowmy has me all settled in and on a routine for feeding and grooming. I love my new meowmy everyday I wake up next to her and she pets me for about 15 minutes before she moves me so she can get ready to leave so she can make this money thing and buy me more snacks and wet food. She often tells me that money doesn't grown on trees or it can't be found by digging in the cat box for hidden treasure. I do that you know I like to dig and root in everything. My instinctual curiosity has the best of me at times and I don't realize that I can get myself trapped. I get to spend my days lounging with my friend Lardo and my dad. My dad doesn't like me or at least he pretends when my mom is home. I know that secretly he loves me. He plays with me and pets me a lot. I also in turn help with his computer work. My dad is a designer and works from home. While my mom toils in the office My dad gets all the day time with the furry kids. I am a happy kitty who wouldn't be with an 8 ft cat tree to climb on food at my leisure fresh water a clean cat box and a human that devotes 2 hours a day to petting me and grooming me. She tells me she loves me and that she is happy to see me. I am home. I found my humans. I found my furry brother that loves me and wrestles with me and cleans my big ears. Sometimes I wonder how I got so lucky with my humans. My humans will never ever abandon me to the elements. I am very well fed. I get plenty of exercise. I am even learning to play fetch. My mom tells me that I am one in a million cats that are lucky to have a warm home a loving family. But I am young and do not understand. I know that my mom has been seeing other cats I can smell them on her. I know she sees Dogs. I knew it when I met her that this human was raised with animals. She knew just how to pick me up. Just how to hold me and she knew my sweet spot. I am still trying to figure out how she knows my sweet spot. She bought me a bed. I have a everything that money can buy I even have things money can't Love Patience understanding. I am a lucky boy. For those that don't know much about me. I am a rescue. My meowmy and daddy drove every weekend for a month to visit with me after she adopted me and I had ring worm.

With that I wanted to send a special meow out to my friends that I wish could find more permanent homes:
Cami
Sueder
Flopsy
Shari
Darby
Bob in San Diego http://www.catster.com/cats/710050
Cotton in Austin
Ally
Need a Home http://www.catster.com/cats/767017

I also wanted to say Thank you to everyone that has ever stopped to help an animal whether it be human dog or any animals. Just stopping to help means more than you will ever know.

My new Mom

My mom came and visited me. She played with me for 3 hours. I still can't go home yet. But the promise was that Next weekend I can go home with her. She is going to make an appointment with Vet so I can get introduced to her friend the V-E-T. I love my mom. I have to say that because she pets me and plays with me for a long time. She wishes she could take another one of my friends home with her so she can have two of us at the same time. She just doesn't have the room. I know that she would love to have two of us. I have a friend there Sueder. He came over and visited with me. I know that I am going home next weekend. My mom is preparing the house for me to come home to. She told me that she is gutting the inside and getting rid of a lot of things that she no longer needs. She said she wants to de-clutter her home.
I think she is going to start making Cat blankets. For all the foster kitties at the rescue group. She tells me that she can sew just about anything. She needs the room. She also is thinking about having a rummage sale for all the things that she no longer desires. She left early yesterday. She told me that she was hungry and that she was sorry that she couldn't stay longer. I know she was excited to hear that I was coming home next weekend. She has been spoiling Lardo because he's been an only cat. I know that she will make sure that he's on his best behavior with me. My mom says she prepared the bathroom for my arrival. WHAT? another bathroom? She told me it was so I could be properly introduced to the older cat. She didn't want for him to reject me. Reject me? Are you kidding me he would be only so lucky that I would pay him any attention. Did I tell you all that I love the smell of flowers? My mom wears these exotic perfumes. I examine her wrists her ears her neck. I don't sneeze but Boy does she smell good. I also like to nest in her hair. My mom calls me a parrot cat. I can perch on her shoulder like a well balanced bird. I told her I was a cat. I go home soon. Have I told you that I am excited? I can't wait.

Another visit

My mom came and visited me again this past weekend. I recognized her immediately and let her know I was happy to see her. My mom loves me. She brought me some treats. She also brought me some treats to share with the other cats. My mom gives me the best rubs. She also talks to me and tells me how much she loves me. How she can't wait to get me home so I can be introduced to my feline brother. My mom tells me not to be scared that she is going to take the best care of me. I believe her too she brings me the nicest gifts each time she visits. She wants me to never have to worry about a home again. She doesn't want me to worry about food or warm places to lay or anything for that matter. My mom loves on me. I like to mark her face and suckle on her chin. I had a face full of cat food and she still let me rub on her cheeks with chicken and tuna breath. In true aby form I make sure I climb to the highest parts of her. My mom is tall. I can almost touch the ceiling. I love to take flying leaps at people. My mom held me and petted me for her normal two hours and told me that she loved me and she was going to have to go. She rubs my neck and eats and wipes my eyes and I drool when I get petted a lot. She helps me play chase with the mouse she brought for me. When it is time to go I let her know that I want to go to. She picks me up tells me not today but soon. She tells me that she loves me. when she leaves I cry for her to come back and she comes to the door and she tells me that she will be back and for me to be a good boy. I meow at her. She tells me that she loves me and bye bye. It's hard being in foster care and only seeing my new mom once a week. I can only imagine what it feels like for my mom. She always tells me that she misses me. She can't wait to get me home. I can't wait for that day. My new mom is going to comeback and when she does I am hoping I get to go home with her.
