Arrival Story: I'd never had a cat before. While living in Lafayette, IN, I decided to adopt one from the local humane society's shelter . Amalia was the first cat I saw, she was alone in a cage playing by herself and was very friendly to everybody. If you approached her, she would immediately start purring and licking your fingers! Everybody in the humane society loved her. I looked other kitties but she had won my heart already =)
Bio: Amalia is a seasoned traveller :-) ---On October 2005, she accidentally jumped from the balcony and went missing. After 2 weeks of adventures (and me panicking), one night she found her way back and our next door neighbour picked her. She wouldn't stop purring and slept very close to me that first night.
---We lived a few years in Indiana and then Amalia and I flew all the way to Asia. She had to stay in quarantine for a month, and we lived there 2 years.
---Then we moved back to the US on Dec/2007. Amalia made it again to the other side of the world, traveling with me inside the cabin. I'm so relieved she was ok and didn't have to do quarantine again!
*** Amalia has become a great friend. She's been extremely patient to teach me "the cat ways". She doesn't like to be held too much but is always next to me, keeping company. We enjoy taking naps together; she uses part of my pillow and stays close.

What's up with people not respecting us? I officially became the eldest family member when I turned 5 years old, which is 36 in human years. My person needs to be reminded.
I can ignore the laughing and giggling during training sessions, but falling asleep?? Like a couple of nights ago when I decided to train at 2am. I picked a pipe cleaner (those things are hypnotizing!!!!), brought it to bed and said "purrr Meow!" ("I need to train!"). Short human wakes up and says "aaah he he he kitty wants to play". She did pick up the pipe cleaner, started moving it but fell back asleep in seconds. I had to keep waking her up. I mean, instead of focusing all my attention in the exercise I had to keep pouncing at her and meowing. Unbelievable.
On the other hand, it has come to my attention that other humans were supposedly "advising" on how to keep me from chewing cables. As soon as I figure out how to get rid of that horrible smell around cables and be able to eat them again, I will go after you humans.
... actually, I lost count of the number of cables I have yum-yummed. Today's treat was short human's cellphone charger.
I don't swallow cables, I just love chewing on them. It is good for my gums *naughty look*
Short human is very nice, she covers the cables for me to play hide-n-seek. I walk around my territory, sniff around until voila'! I find a surprise cable hidden under some blankets or something else.
The first time I chewed something, short human was all melodramatic "Nooooo kitty! Cables are not food!" . That was because she was still new at cat companionship and didn't know that everything belongs to me. Later on, she would just sigh and say "oooh kitty, you destroyed yet another cellphone charger/headset/etc....". Now she blames herself: "oh nooooooooo!!! why didn't I hide that in another place?!!"
and that is how you train a human =^_^=
~Amalia~
p.s. Happy Summer!!! Thanks to fantabulous friend Hazel for the beach ball!
Ok let's get to the discipline stuff first: Short person is on notice! After I was so nice and named her "official transcriber of Amalia's memoirs", she has had the audacity of not uploading my thoughts since last year (*gasp!*). She claims to be busy with "work" not remembering that taking care of me is her job. I mean, look at my new profile picture: I had to go close the laptop and say "hey you, pay attention to me".
Well.... I am giving her another opportunity, but for now she is going back to being an intern.

I am a Fabulous, Formidable, Fanciful, Flawless, Fearless and Fantastic FIVE YEARS OLD cat. At least short person didn't forget that and prepared my traditional wonderful meat breakfast with sprinkles on top (crunchy treats).
Catster-ville masters gave me 5 paws, and treats and congrats. Cute huh?
