Coloration:
Brown Tabby
Likes:
Cuddling, kneading, playing with toy mice or the cat dancer, trotting around the apartment, licking (anything - herself, Pumpkin, her humans, the walls), digging in her litter box, watching running water, climbing and jumping as high as she can!
Pet-Peeves:
Pumpkin, when she plays too roughly.
Favorite Toy:
The cat dancer! Also her green glitter ball.
Favorite Nap Spot:
Bed, couch...anywhere that has someone she can cuddle with! Both she and Pumpkin are partial to the kitty bed, though.
Favorite Food:
Fancy Feast Wild Salmon and Whipped Egg Souffle, Nutro gourmet MaxCat chicken-flavored dry food
Skills:
Very high-pitched, squeaky meows, and insanely loud purring! She's also very athletic and can jump several feet in the air.
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story:
I volunteer at a cat adoption center, and Roxie was there with her two sisters. Then, her sisters were adopted, so she was all alone. She was so sweet, loving, and playful, that I put in an application to adopt her. We were approved, and we brought her home on October 7, 2004!
Bio:
(Velvet and Tofu live(d) in Arizona with my parents. Pumpkin and Roxie live in Illinois with me.)
When we first brought her home, we kept Roxie in the bathroom so our existing cat, Pumpkin, could get used to her being around. We bonded with Roxie during that time - we absolutely love her! Pumpkin was another story, though. When we started letting her and Roxie interact, there was a lot of growling and hissing. The two have established a truce, though, and dare we say that they're friends now! Pumpkin can be a trouble-maker and her behavior contrasts Roxie's sweet and undemanding disposition. Though she is very athletic and active, Roxie is the sweetest and most laid-back cat we've ever had!

Oh my, it's been a year since I last wrote! I've certainly had a busy year. I've completely adjusted to living in my forever home. My mom and dad were worried that I was depressed because Pumpkin picks on me sometimes and wouldn't let me approach our humans. But I've slowly gained confidence and I spend much more time sitting with my humans and playing with them. Pumpkin and I nap together and play together but I don't completely trust her because she can still be really mean!
In September, I gave my humans a big scare: my mom was petting me while I was lying on my side on the kitty tower, and she noticed that my forepaws were jerking back and forth. She realized that I was having a seizure! She rushed me to the emergency vet and I was soooo scared! It was my first time out of the apartment in almost a year. The vets were really mean to me, too! They couldn't figure out why I had a seizure but all of my tests were normal. I haven't had any seizures since - but then in October, I got sick again! This time I had lots of trouble using the litterbox :(. I had to go back to that awful vet AGAIN and it turns out that I had blood in my urine. Mom and Dad had to hold me down and force me to take medicine twice a day, and we had a houseguest at the same time, so that freaked me out even more! And Pumpkin was extra mean to me because being at the vet made me smell different. She would hiss at me and smack me, and all I wanted to do was play with her! So, I've had an ordeal the past couple of months. But I'm all better now!

Someone my mommy knows died in a car accident. I saw that she was sitting on the couch feeling sad about it, so I jumped onto her lap and purred and nuzzled her until she felt better. I'm such a sweetie!

I woke my mom up this morning an hour before her alarm was supposed to go off, because I was sitting on her stomach, kneading through her shirt with my claws, and purring very loudly! It was so nice of Mom to lie quietly for so many hours so I could sit on her! When she woke up, she said "Ow!" -- I'm not sure what she meant by that.
