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.

My meows and purrs


I am a lap cat??!!

Dear Diary,

Long time no write... My human was swallowed by "the outside" for many days... But I'll let Mabel talk about it.

So I realized I have a weakness (*blush*). I have a terrible attraction to blankets laying on short human's lap.... You know, I am very conscious of my personal space, I don't like people holding me for more than 3 seconds, and I don't cuddle but keep my distance when we sleep together. But a blanket-on-the-lap is addictive! I see human sitting on the sofa and the minute she puts the blanket on her lap, I *must* jump and get there.

I tell her "you'd better not move because I am napping" and she complies. Good human.

DEAREST DIARY,

I have been inducted in the Honor Society of Catsterland's September 18,2008 Diary Picks !!!

Short human, official transcriber of my memoirs, jumped out of the chair this morning while checking messages on the computer. Then she came to hug me, kissed me and said congrats. She was all "omg-omg-omg kitty this is so cool!"

...and I was like: "mmmeow purrr so who deserves an extra treat?" =^_^=

======= woohooo ===========

Awesome day. And awesome friends sending awesome gifts and messages. Thanks Hazel Lucy; ♥Korey♥ (aaaarrgh, captain!); ☆The Pawsee☆; the family of Buddie, Mookie, McKenna, Ricki, Angel, Victor Gibbs and Jason Cash; and Chelsea Louise for making my day!!

Evacuating and coming back


September 10th 2008 11:30 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary,

We had to leave home at the beginning of the month because of Gustav. Kitty sister Mabel wrote about it in her diary.

After we spent an eternity in the moving thing ("car"), we arrived to a house with 2 people and 2 cats in there. And we stayed there for a whole week. During those days, Mabel turned 1 year old (it's about time she starts behaving like an adult!) and I sort of got used to these humans. I wouldn't let them touch me (oh no!) but I loved "flirting" with them by showing my belly and rolling all over. They say I am beautiful!

... I don't want to talk about the cats. You see, I have enough with baby sister Mabel...

You know what Mabel did while we were riding in the car??? She rode for a looooong time all curled up in human's lap. I was jealous!!! So when driving back home to Louisiana, I made sure Mabel had no access to the driver's seat:

I sat in a thingy they have between the two front seats. Human was like "aaaah Amalia you look like a dog!"... what the heck?? I am no dog. Anyway, whenever Mabel made attempts to go to human's lap, I would yell and hisssss and growl.

So, Mabel spent the ride back sleeping. I don't understand why she was so calm, I mean the thing was moving!!!!! She just curled up and went to sleep. She only got up once to go to the kitty's restroom.

All the while I took the responsibility of being co-pilot: keep the driver awake. I did it by yelling MMMEEOW! MGWAAAAAO! during all the 12 hours we were riding. You know, I also had to express my disagreement with car rides.

When we got back home, I immediately jump to the bed and slept straight for a whole day. That ride, keeping my balance and keeping human awake was exhausting! Human should be thankful.

~~~~ HOPING ALL KITTIES AND THEIR FAMILIES IN LOUISIANA ARE SAFE AFTER GUSTAV!! ~~~~~~
