My First Day on Catster

Hello, my name is Fifi. At least it is now, thanks to my new daddy. I used to have another name but nobody knows what is was and I'm not telling! It might have sounded like "Caney", because when my new mum calls Caney Cat, I usually come running.

Anyway, I've been watching this Catster thing for a while (from afar) and finally my new mum has decided I can join in. I know why she hesitated - it's because she really hoped she would find my family, and was trying not to bond with me "just in case". Well the weeks are going by and still no progress. Maybe I'm here to stay??

I think it's only appropriate that I post the poem my mum and new brother Tyler wrote for me in my very furrst diary entry. They wrote it because they care about me, and that makes me very happy. Here it is:

Tis the night before Christmas and all that I wish
Is some tasty morsel for my food dish,
And somewhere warm and safe to sleep.
Far from the streets my soul to keep.

Away from the traffic and dogs running wild
Out of the weather though it’s sunny and mild,
If Santa agrees to my simple request,
I promise I’ll try to behave my best.

If you take me in for a little while,
I promise to purr and make you smile,
I’ll be polite and sit quietly,
I’ll sleep out of the way by your Christmas Tree.

I’ll try not to be greedy, but I’m hungry and cold,
So forgive me if sometimes I get too bold,
I promise not to disturb or carouse
With the other animals in the house.

I’m lost you see, and very far from home,
I don’t know how I came to roam,
But someone loved me long ago -
Where they are now, I do not know.

In the meantime I know that you’ll be kind,
My heart lead me here for you to find,
And while you look hard for my family,
I’ll be so good, as good as can be.

Tis the night before Christmas and I’m happy to be
Snoozing in the lap of luxury,
But I dream of my family out there in the night
And wonder if they know my plight?

If it comes to pass you don’t find them for me,
Perhaps you’ll consider keeping me,
And give me a bed, blanket, shelter and love
So my prayers will be answered by God above.

Till next time, a very shy (but happy) Fifi
