Arrival Story:
I lost my baby, Sasha, of 15 years on 12/21/04. I was heartbroken & swore I would never have another pet. It was just too hard when they are gone. I had to have surgery in March 05 & was home on a leave of absence. Being home that much & not having a companion by my side was terrible. My house was way too quiet. One day I woke up & decided I was going to go visit the nearest SPCA & just look. I thought if I got out of the house & visited some kitties that I would be okay. But, Erin had other ideas. The minute he saw me he came over to the glass & started pawing at it. I couldn't resist him so I asked the girl who was showing me around if I could hold him. That's all they needed to do. I went into a little room with Erin & he was all over me. Purring, meowing, & crawling on me. My Mother was with me & he did the same to her. He kept coming up into my face & giving me kitty kisses. I was hooked. The next thing I knew I was filling out paperwork & leaving there with our new addition. I absolutely adore him & he has brought me so much love & joy. It was so meant to be that I chose that day to go to the SPCA & find this angel. When I was at the SPCA they had named me "Winky". I didn't care for that name & since my Mom is of Irish decent & she has always loved the name "Erin" that became my new name.

Happy Birthday, Erin

I haven't written in my diary in one whole year. I celebrated another birthday. I am 5 years old! Mommy can't believe it! I'm still the only kitty in my house because I have to go to the Vet a lot she said she can't afford another pet. I will probably always be her only baby. That's okay. We have a good routine just the 2 of us. And, on my birthday I had to go to the Vet again. I had another one of those stupid bladder infections. Mommy takes good care of me by making sure I get to the Vet as soon as she notices something is not right. I have had a lot of them over the last year. I don't like them. Mommy has me eating prescription diet CD formula food both wet & dry to help & the last one I had was almost 6 months ago so that's better than getting one every 2 months like I was. She also makes sure I have lots of water. She said that God brought me to her so she could take really good care of me & God knew that she would. My Mommy still hasn't found a full time job. She has started working for a Pet Sitting business that is very well-known in the city we live. They are real busy & keep Mommy going. I don't like it because when she comes home I can smell other animals on her, like dogs. Boooo! Kitties are okay but she walks dogs too. She says she likes dogs a lot. I haven't ever met one so I'll trust her judgment but something tells me I won't like them or at least until I get to know them better. Well, it was fun to update my diary. Hopefully I'll come back again before my next birthday. Hugs to all my Catster friends. See you soon!!

 

Today is my Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to Me! When Mommy & I woke up this morning that is the first thing she said to me. And, I got lots of hugs & kisses. She always tells me she is so happy for the day I was born. We are going to celebrate today & she told me that she bought me a really cool present. I can't wait to get it. She said it is something I can play with and can do one of my favorite things. I bet I can guess that it is a new scratching post because I have a lot of those already & I love to use them. I don't even scratch our furniture because I have so many of these cool posts all over the house. I am 4 today. Mommy says she can't believe that we have been together for almost 4 years. She rescued me when I was 4 months old from the SPCA. I am grateful she did that & I have such a fun, loving home & a Mommy who loves me very much. Catsters sent me a birthday greeting today & my picture is profiled in the B'day cat walk. My vet also sent me my own e-card. Thank you both for remembering me! It is still early right now so I can't wait to find out what the rest of the day is going to be like. To all my friends thank you for being my friend & to all the other cats celebrating a birthday today I hope your day is as good as mine has already been. I love birthdays they are fun!!!

 

Another diary entry by Erin

I haven't written in my diary since we started my blog. My Mom has a very busy life but she is home a lot these days so I love it. She lost her job last March & has been looking for a new job but it's okay with me if she stays home all the time. I miss her very much when she's not here & especially since I am get so used to her being here so much when she is gone for a long time I am miserable & she can barely make it in the door cuz I am right there to be pet & kissed. I love to welcome her home. I don't know what I am going to do when she does get a job & leaves me alone for 9-10 hours a day. We still never did get a kitty for me to play with. My Mom has thought about it a few times & has come very close but she still feels like it might hurt my feelings. We are so used to it just being the 2 of us that she doesn't want me to feel sad or that she is replacing me. My Mom loves all animals & would love to get another kitty that she can rescue since that is how she got me but we still can't make up our minds. Well, it was fun to write in my diary again & I'll be back again some day soon!
