Arrival Story: Like so many other of our kitties, Sophie was found in a neighboring town while we were working. She was dumped off at the gate to a farm. This would have been ideal, except for the farmers dog, Striker was a known cat killer. She had evaded him for a couple of days by diving under the house. As we worked, she cautiously came to us, repeatedly. The home owner said they had fed her, but did not want her. From the looks my wife was giving me, I could see the "please, please" in her face. And secretly I was in agreement, but not about to tell her so! We knew her time would be short if we didn't take her home with us. Did I mention that she was a beautiful cat, but that had no influence on the decision (wink, wink). So into the truck and home we all went.
Bio: The first week we had Sophie, we were called to do a job in San Antonio and had to spend the night. Since our vet had her on two different medications, we decided to take her with us. Sophie was a great companion on the trip up, and settled into bed with us that night at the motel. Then she found that she could sit in the window and watch all the comings and goings in the parking lot below and spent the rest of the night there. Boy, was she cranky the next day. She definitely did not get her beauty sleep! We stopped at the local PetSmart for treats and toys, but she would not be pacified. She just wanted to go home to her own bed, and by that time, so did we!
Though Sophie is one of the smaller cats in the house, her size doesn't stop her from backing down Xerox, a 19 pound male! She is a tough little gal. As she has grown older, she has also become more affectionate. She loves to play, especially on the bed, and gracefully leaps after toys! Our photography does not capture her true beauty. Sophie could melt anyone's heart with the sweet looks she can give. She certainly has ours.

I have to write fast...mom is as busy as a bee today. No, make that as busy as a bee hive!
I have to say quickly that my page is filled with lovely gifts from my even lovelier friends!
Thank you all so very, very much. I will send everyone something purrsonal in the next few days.
Secondly, I got my birthday wish, if only for a half day. It cleared up yesterday afternoon, and the sun came out! Stinky was breathing better when mom & dad came home last night. He ate his dinner and took all his medicine without being forced. This morning he meowed at mom, which he doesn't do when he is sick. But alas, it began to rain in the early hours of the morning, and it is gray, and wet outside now. :(
We have had a drought this summer, so everyone wanted rain, just not all of it in only a few days.
Well, as my beloved Wally says, "Gotta fly".
I hope to be back later.
Love and kisses, Sophie
P.S. I bet you thought I forgot to tell you about my birthday present? It was a small feather boa like thing, on a stick, and I sit on my haunches and bat it endlessly! Mom will take a picture soon! ~xoxoxo Sophie
I never write in my diary anymore, and I hate to start again by tooting my own horn, but it's my sixth birthday today. It has rained all night, and none of us got any sleep, cats or humans, from all the thunder and lightening. Our power went off three times, and daddy had to get out in the rain to turn the breakers back on. Too much rain! Wally and I wanted to take a walk on the beach later today. I hope the sun comes out.
My brother Stinky might have to go to the vet today. When it rains, his asthma gets very bad, and he didn't eat all day. He gets scared when he can't breathe. Mom is so worried about him. Please purr that it stops raining and he begins to breathe easier. This is my only birthday wish.
My friends, Shadow and her brother Ramone at Tabbies With 'Tude Group sent me a pretty picture of a cake and also a birthday teddy bear. Thank you all. Wally has spoiled me with the big cake rosette! So much for my supermodel figure!
Thank you so much honey, and also for the beautiful Kimi picture that goes so pretty with my wallpaper! Kiwi and her wonderful family sent a party hat too! Oh I have that on now! Thank you!
Well time to go look for my present. Dad has it hidden in his office. If I am very quick, I can slip in and hunt for it! I hope everyone has a great day today.
OMC!!! I need to share Lizzy's doghouse today. Guess what I did? Or guess what I didn't do, would be more accurate.
I forgot my own anniversary! :(
*peeks head out of the dog house*
Yesterday, July 17th was Wally and my second anniversary! Yes, 7-17-07, he asked me to be his girl! I love you Wally Bear. Thank you for remembering for us, and also for my lovely crown gift.
I am his queen! giggle.
Actually none of us were on Catster yesterday. It was a miserably hot day, and too hot for machines to heat up the house, even more. It's been our hottest summer in years.
Hannah says it's because of all the people doing scrap-booking. All those glue guns heat up things too much. She says it's in the news all the time...glue-ball warming. :)
I sure will be glad when Fall comes again. Usually by late September it will start to cool down.
Wishing all our friends a pleasant summer.
