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.

Mom is not happy. We are supposed to get more snow starting some time tomorrow. Ten to twenty more inches! This is not good. We are nervous. It's supposed to be windy this time, and we are afraid to lose power. We didn't have any trouble over the weekend. Mom's friend said all those little bundles of crappy wood have been snatched up. We're snug and warm right now. I hope it stays that way.
Wow, you should see the snow here! Mom's been shoveling since yesterday! She cracked the door open, so I got a good sniff of the cold air. Brrrr! I'm stayin' inside nice and warm!
Mom found me snoozing in my old spot today. I haven't been there for a while. Back when Rafiki decided he wanted to hang out with AnnaDee and I in our special basement apartment, he also decided he needed to take over our favorite spots. Kind of stupid because he can't be in all of them at once, but that's his business. Mine was on top of the laundry table. Mom doesn't like me there because it's in the dark. I don't understand the problem. She sleeps in the dark, so why can't I? I guess Rafiki finally got tired of chasing me away from there. Whatever. I have several spots now, so if he hogs one, I'll just move to another. Perhaps I can make him crazy ...
