Arrival Story: Adopted him from the Siamese Rescue Center of Virginia. My Siamese cat Zachary had recently died from a very aggressive oral cancer. I thought I might wait a bit before adopting another cat because I also had my sick mom living with me who needed a lot of my attention. A very understanding cat-loving friend suggested I just go to a shelter and look at the kitties. I couldn't do that because I get too upset at shelters. I saw an add for Siamese Rescue somewhere and something was pulling at me to look at the website. Well, I saw all those needy faces there, and I couldn't put it off. There were many kitties, and I sent a few inquiries. Then Hershey arrived at the rescue, and his picture was posted. The picture made him look like he had big, goofy googly eyes which he definitely does not have in person. I knew i had to have him, so I put in my application. I went to the Center to get him. He had only been there for a week and a half, so they didn't know his personality very well. The door was open to his cage, but he just sat in there looking somewhat dejected. He let me pet him though, and I explained that i was there to take him to his furever home. I'm not sure he believed me, but he didn't put up any resistence when we put him in the carrier and didn't say a word the whole ride home.
Bio: Hershey is a very mellow, somewhat timid kitty. He hates loud noises and even not-so-loud noises. If something takes him by surprise, he growls and runs off even if that something is me. He doesn't have a very Meezerly meow; it's very quiet, but he learned that using it gets him attention. He is not a lap cat and doesn't often sleep with me, yet he loves attention. He always greets me at the door. When he sees me come towards him, he rolls over and exposes his tummy for belly rubs and kneads and purrs all the while. He can be very playful, and I have seem him leaping and twisting and jumping chasing little fur mice and other little furry and sparkly toys. He's a lover not a fighter, therefore he and Benjamin must be separated. He never learned to put Benjamin in his place.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Blue ribbon rosette "best in show"
We are cheating and are all making the same diary entry. We do hope all are friends are enjoying the holidays and thank everyone for our rosies! We each got a new mousie for Christmas, but Mom got a Breezy Singer bluebird, so we are most interested in that! Today it was nearly 70 degrees, so the windows were open a bit. We all enjoyed sniffing the air. Mommy is sick of sitting at the computer all day searching for jobs and filling out aps. It is an especially painful process because we only have dial-up. Hopefully Mom will find a job soon, so she can spend more time on important things like helping us on Catster! We are trying to keep up with our friends diary entries as best as we can. Miss you friends!
Tonight we're all putting the same message in our diary entries. We are having terrible connection problems, so we don't even know if all of ours will get posted. We wanted to send Thanksgiving rosies, but we'll be lucky to get even this one diary entry posted.
Happy Thanksgiving to all our wonderful Catster friends! Eat much, laugh often and stay safe!
Mom got up at her normal time this morning, but instead of serving up breakfast first thing, she went straight into the shower. She came downstairs afterwards and followed pretty much her normal routine, but she never gave us our breakfast in our 'apartment' in the basement which means she also didn't let Benjamin out. I meowed at her a lot, but she just said breakfast would be a little later. What was that about? I like my routine. What was going on? I decided to settle down in the dining room while Mom watched t.v. All of a sudden a big van pulled up in front of our house. I growled and jumped up. Then a man got out and walked straight toward our door. Yikes! I growled some more and took off to my hiding place under the furnace! I thought I was safe there, but then I heard the foot steps coming down the stairs. I became one with the corner of the wall. The foot steps came right at me. Then someone started doing things to the furnace and making noise, and I got so scared that I took off! Out from under there I ran, but the floor is vinyl, so my feet were slipping all over, and I couldn't get a grip, and I thought I was going to die of fright! As I took off up the stairs, I heard Mommy tell me to relax. Relax?! She starts off the day by upsetting my equilibrium, has some stranger coming after me and banging on the furnace, and I am supposed to relax? Well, he is gone now, and I got my breakfast, but I don't need any more mornings like that!
