Oh meow gosh! You have noooo idea how long I have been waiting to write my first Beulah Blog. Ever since my mommy and daddy adopted me three weeks ago, mommy has promised me that I would be able to write to all my new friends on Catster after she finished studying for something called the Bar Exam. She said it was really really important, but I have my doubts. Anyway, mommy took her silly test and after all the crying, tears and all this talk about how she probably failed, she finally got her behind away from the computer and in front of the television so that I can paw paw all over this keyboard. It has been such an a-meow-zing three weeks in my new home. It was only 22 days ago that I was on lock-down in the local animal shelter, living off Purina Cat Chow, pacing around my cage, battling for attention with the likes of “Ginger” the doe-eyed kitten with the cutesy face. I tell you, I was living the hard-knock life and being treated like I was some kind of ANIMAL!!!! Oh wait…
Well the Purina Cat Chow was no picnic, let me tell you! And “Ginger”?? Well that cat may have been cute, but I had tons of fluff to compete with those milky melt-your-heart eyes. Now, you see…I almost wasn’t adopted when mommy walked into the kitty room because I was hiding in a shoebox the shelter put in my cage. Apparently mommy saw my picture on a website and fell in love with me (like I said, I’ve got all this fluffy fur going for me, and not to toot my own horn, but I’m purrrrty irresistible). She was determined to be the first person at the animal shelter the next day to pick me up and rescue me, but when she and her friends arrived it looked like I was already gone. Mommy’s heart sank into her chest and she almost started to cry until her friend saw some fur poking out the top of the shoebox where I was sleeping. Once mommy saw me in my cage she knew that she wanted me, and when the lady working at the shelter woke me up to meet her, I knew that mommy belonged to me. I just kept encircling mommy and meowing while she pet my small little body. Ginger just stared in jealousy from her cage, that little attention-magnet (no worries though, friends; she was adopted by another family soon thereafter). Before I knew it I was in a box in the backseat of my mommy’s car being pet by her purrty friends on my to my new home.
When I got to my new home, I had developed a nasty upper respiratory infection from the shelter. Mommy was worried because I kept sneezing all over the place and stopped eating my dry food. Mommy and daddy took me to the Vet and they checked me all out. The doc said that I needed some medicine to make me all better and said that I needed to gain some weight. Mommy knew I was too thin because I only weighed 5 pounds and mommy could feel my spine and hips when she would pet me (blasted Purina Cat Chow!). The nice doc gave me some wet food which I ate right off her finger and took my medicine like a big girl. I even let the doc give me a rabies shot with no problems! Mommy said I was such a good girl. When we got back home, mommy and daddy would make me sit in the bathroom with them while they showered to give me a “steam” to make me breathe better, and they gave me stinky wet food so that I would eat.
After about a week and a half of medicine, a lot of love, purrs, and petting, I was back to my old-self. I was running and attacking all the mices that my Auntie Ryan and kitty boyfriends Spiderman and Obe bought for me. I love, love, love, love playing with my mices! Plus grandma Cindy brought me over a bunch of old toys that her angel kitty, Teddy left behind. Mommy and daddy play with me all the time; I am such a lucky-ducky kitty cat. Plus I have gained a whole pound! Mommy switched me to Wellness food and I have been eating up a storm! Mommy said I have only one more pound to gain and then I will be healthy again. I tell you, furr-ends, life is good for the Beulah; life is purrty purrty good. Until next time!
