Orange Tabby

Likes:
Me. Whenever I come home from work he's all over me. But he also loves other animals like our neighbors dog and our other cat Chiyo.

Pet-Peeves:
Not much. He loves everything and always seems happy except when going to the vet.

Favorite Toy:
Anything he's not supposed to play with. Haha! But out of his legitimate toys, I'd say his little rainbow fuzzy ball.

Favorite Nap Spot:
Our futon in the living room, or the office chair.

Favorite Food:
The wet food I give him with his pill every night. He oddly doesn't like kitty treats.

Skills:
I don't know if it's a skill, but he licks everything. He gives kisses, but he also licks things like...the wall...the futon, the bath mat. It's kinda weird.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
My first pet ever, a tabby named Oldie was about 16 years old when I lost her on Christmas day due to old age 2007. I was heart broken and didn't want another cat. But my roommate kept dragging me around to all these shelters telling me that I did want a cat, I just didn't know it yet. So I humored her and went thinking I wouldn't find anything. Then, all of our options spent, we drove to one last shelter way out in Marietta which was about a forty five minute drive at the time. There, the first cat I saw was Luka. He was tiny and only a few months old. And he was also clearly sick. He was sneezing and he couldn't breathe and he wasn't active. He just slept and slept and he didn't want to play, which as I'm sure everyone on this site knows is a really bad sign for a kitten. I picked him up and he just fell asleep in my arms. I would have taken him home that day, but the shelter wouldn't let me. There was some waiting period. So I came back at the crack of dawn two days later and adopted him. He stole my heart ever since. I spent months forcing medicine down his throat and taking him back and fourth from the vet. I had been laid-off from my job and was charging everything to my credit card. But I didn't care. I knew I had to take care of him. That's how he got such mean nicknames. He was full of snot and was sneezing and wheezing all the time. I put him in a steam bathroom (the vet said it would help him breathe) and he would just...ick. So that's how I started calling him booger face. But he's all better now! And he's a terror! He tears down the hall chasing invisible things and such. You know, kitten stuff.

Bio:
He never fully recovered and the vet says he has kitty herpes. As such I have to give him a pill everyday for the rest of his life. His eyes can become very easily irritated, and his left eye waters from time to time. Also, since I couldn't find anywhere else to put it, I want to explain that Luka is not a smart cat. He runs into walls when he gets over excited. And he also licks anything. And my anything, I mean like...drank hot, burning scented oil once. That's how he lost one of his 9 lives. He was lucky enough to have thrown it up. He also tried to eat a bar of soap once. We now keep anything like that locked away. Still, he's my baby.

Lives Remaining:
7 of 9

Forums Motto:
I eat soap!

My Diary


My Birthday!


October 31st 2008 10:06 am   [link to this entry]

Hello everybody!

Today is Halloween. And it's also my birthday! Yay! I'm officially one year old today. Mom switched me to indoor cat food, which I oddly find much yummier than the kitten food I was eating before. I also happen to have the same birthday as one of mom's favorite anime characters. That makes ehr happy. So today is a big day! Two birthdays and a holiday!

To celebrate, mom's going to dress me up as a bumble bee for the trick-or-treaters. I don't mind wearing the body part of the costume. In fact, I think it's kind of fun. But I HATE the antenne. Mom said she won't make me wear them because I hate them so much. Plus it's my birthday, so she can't make me. Ha!

Chiyo's plan is to hide in the back room under the bed while I entertain all the human children when they come to the door. They will look at me and love me and tell me how cute I am. I can't wait! This'll be a great birthday.

And of course, mom's going to give me extra treats today and I hear she might even get me a new toy! (Or two. Or three or four! Bwahaha!)


Mom says I'm old!

My mom switched my food yesterday. At first I didn't mind so much. It tastes pretty much teh same as the other food I was eating. But then mom said she switched my food because I'm not a kitten anymore! She says I'll be one year old on Oct. 31st. Abd because of that I need different food.

I guess that makes me an 'adult' now. But I sure don't feel like one. I still like to play and wig out at every available moment. I love to drive mom crazy by chewing her new things and jumping up on teh railing on the porch. Now she won't let me go out unless she has time to be out there with me. Pooey.


Mom's Home!

July 7th, 2008

Mom went away for the 4th of July weekend with her roommate Kat. They left me all alone with Chiyo. She left me with tons of food and water, but that doesn't matter. I was lonely!

I picked on Chiyo alot while they were gone. But we took alot of naps too.

But now she's home! Yay! But she broguht strangers with her. A strange lady and a tiny little human who wobbles when she walks. She yells alot and screams "KITTY" then runs after me. I find her interesting and I watch her carefully. But when she runs at me yelling I hide under the futon.

I hope she leaves soon so I can get mom back to myself.
