indoors Arrival Story: Rufus and his family came to the shelter as 8 hour old kittens without their mom. They were bottle fed kittens and he was the only one of his litter to survive. I took him when he was seven weeks old while the girl that had been fostering him went to a wedding out of town and I ended up keeping him. He was very tiny, only about the size of a four week old. My male dog, Madison, fell in love with him and they were best buddies for years. Lives Remaining: 3 of 9 Forums Motto: I'm Bringing Sexy Back!

2 years ago I spent the night in ER and came home on Christmas Eve. Yesterday I went to the dr to try to keep me from going to ER over the holiday. Mom just didn't like the way I was acting and was afraid I had had a stroke or seizure while she was at work. I was cranky and I smacked her when she picked me up. That's because my butt hurt. Found out yesterday that I ruptured an anal gland - who knew? Boy did it hurt. I got an antibiotic shot and a shot for pain. In talking with others who have had the same thing I guess I got off pretty light as some have to have ointment put on their butt after being cleaned daily. My dr did not say this. I go back on 1/2 for a re-check - Happy New Year - mol. I was sick this morning and mom is a little worried and glad she is home until after the first of the year now. I'm going to milk this for all it is worth and gets lots of good stuff while she is worried about me - my bad.
I turned 16 years old today. Wow, mom says I'm an old poop. I sleep more than I used to but I still like to run around and cause trouble. Just this week while trying to get to a birthday package my wink Sara sent me, I tried to climb up the side of the hutch to get to the top. I knocked many things around and mom was mad but I didn't break anything. I got to open the present today. Party Mix, Temptations and a catnip cigar. Excellent!
Mom and I are surprised and happy. I am Kitty of the Day. We never thought that would happen. I am honored. Mom is off today too so maybe I can convince her to go buy me something special to celebrate the day. I have made many new friends today because of it. I am happy to have you all as new friends. Purrs to everyone.
