My story

I was brought to a shelter in April of 2001 and I couldn't understand how I ended up there. I was left in the basement of an apartment building when people moved. How mean they were to leave me there. I was lucky that people found me.

My mom adopted me on May 25, 2001 and made that my 4 year birthday.
She already had 2 dogs and 2 cats and I really didn't like living with all of them. I just liked mom.

The dogs have passed on now and I am happier that they are not here. I don't get along with Lucy at all and Rufus tries to pick on me so I don't like him either. I do like the baby, Sydney. We play sometimes and have fun but my favorite thing to do is sleep with my mom.

March, 2008

I had to go see the lady in a white coat and get my shots. She looked in my mouth and fiddled with my teeth. I have one tooth that hangs down lower in the front that mom calls my haggle tooth. This lady says it must come out. I am not sure what it all means but I think I have to go back and see her again in a couple of months. Mom is kind of worried about it, I know, but she's trying not to let me know what is going on.

Hairballs

I have delighted in making extra work for my staff person the last couple of days. I have made a point to throw up my hairball on her bed so that she has had to do laundry every night. He, he, he. I like to hear her grumble. I was not happy to have that awful yucky ointment crammed into my mouth though. She said it would help me but I think it is really meant to help her, not me! At least she lined everyone else up and gave them some too.

My Staff Person Lied To Me

Sunday night our staff person removed all our food and water bowls when she went to bed. Monday morning she ignored us all while she got cleaned up and dressed. She told us it would be okay. Well she lied. To Me! She put me in the bathroom and closed the door and I could here her working with food for the others. But none for me. Then she came with the awful box and scooped me up and put me in it. Again she tells me it will be okay. Well it wasn't. She took me for a ride in the car and left me with those awful people in white coats.

I did my best to tell her no by screaming but she left me anyways. She kissed me and said she would see me later. At least she didn't lie about that. But when she picked me up I hurt and was angry. The awful white coats cleaned my teeth but kept 3 of them as payment for their troubles. I was very angry. Now I am missing a front fang and Rufus is laughing at me and calling me stupid looking. Brothers!

I've had a bad weekend

Well I never thought this would be my weekend. First Saturday night my staff person tricked me and grabbed me and used that stupid comb on me. I hate being combed. I yelled and hissed but she held tight and got a few lumps of hair off me. I must admit it feels pretty good now (but don't let her know I said that).

Then Sunday morning my stupid brother Rufus started chasing me and trying to grab and kill me. He grabs me and hangs on and kicks me with his back feet - when staff isn't around to protect me. Lucky for me she was here and she rescued me from him. Then she had the nerve to pick him up and kiss him and take him down stairs. I know she's been worried about him but he's going to think she kissed him because he had been picking on me.

Oh well, guess maybe I can con some special treats out of her this morning because she feels guilty I got picked on .... gotta go ......

My trip to the white coat man

Boy what a rude day I had. My mom came home early today and gave us dinner early but then put me in the bathroom and I knew I was in trouble. Then out came the crate and off I went to the doctor. Yearly checkup she said. Don't worry, she said. Well he poked and prodded me and gave me shots. Then he gave me a sedative in my back and removed a cyst. It hurt but I didn't have to have stitches. Mom told me I could pee on the carpet to get back at her if I wanted to but so far I haven't done anything bad. I will have to weigh my options and decide which carpet to pick on. Also when she isn't expecting it too. I WILL get even. At least I don't have to go back. I heard her making another appointment for Lucy to go back for a recheck blood work. He He He

My Gotcha Day

Today is my purrday with my family. It isn't my real birthday but my mom made it my day because I came to live with her 9 years ago today. Although I wasn't completely happy with the situation because mom had dogs then, I still loved my nice soft bed and all the hugs and kisses I got. The dogs have been gone for 6 years now and it was much better for me when they passed on, even though mom was sad. I love my house and I love my mommy very much. She says she is going to Petsmart today and will buy me something special today. I hope it is yummy treats all for me.

I so mad

My brofur Rufus be Cat of the Day recently, then he be Diary pick too. Nothing like that ever happens to me. I so mad. At least my mom loves me and takes good care of me (well, all of us) but she treats me real special cuz I have been sick lately too. I am on a special diet now but she still worries about me and that makes me feel good. I am sorry I am jealous of Rufus but he seems to get all the attention. A girl deserves a little attention too - right?

10 Years Ago Today

It was 10 years ago today that my mom brought me home from the shelter. That was the best day of my life, well until I met the dogs and cats that lived in the house. I did adjust okay, even though I sometimes let her know I'm unhappy by peeing somewhere I shouldn't. Mom thinks that is why I was left in an apartment basement when the people moved out.

Today I got special We Pity the Kitty salmon treats and I am extremely happy. Guess I'll take a nap now.

Love, Pandora
