Favorite Toy: loves fishing pole toys, feathers, and strings, but his very favorite is his catnip filled mouse

Arrival Story: I found Tully, and his brother Luke, on Petfinder. I was grieving over the loss of my 9-year-old tuxedo kitty, Carlos, (died very suddenly from lymphoma) and could not bear coming home to a house without a kitty. Tully and Luke were from the Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty (IBOK) Rescue and raised by a super-loving foster Mom. She brought them by the house one evening last October when they were about 7 months old to meet us. We were getting ready to leave town and couldn't make it to the next adoption fair to meet them. I decided right then and there that I wanted to adopt these two wonderful boys, but my husband wanted us to wait. He thought it was too soon since we just lost Carlos, but I convinced him otherwise. I called IBOK when we returned home, drove over and picked them up at the next adoption fair which was near our home. They are the sweetest cats, I love them dearly, and can't imagine having one without the other. IBOK wanted them adopted as a pair which worked out perfectly for us - they are constant companions and we enjoy having them around.
October 18, 2009 - Luke and Tully have been with us for one year! We love these boys - they are the most awesome cats!

I am happy to tell you that Thanksgiving came a little early to our house this year. One of my Grandmas is going to Florida next week to visit some of her friends for a couple of weeks so Mom decided to invite some friends and family over today for a full turkey dinner – woohoo!
Luke and I don’t usually care for a houseful of company, it’s WAY too noisy for us, but since I got a plateful of delicious oven roasted turkey for dinner tonight, I put up with everyone. I was even a bit social and came out and greeted everyone. Luke ate some turkey, too, but he doesn’t go crazy for it like I do. I go absolutely bonkers over turkey!
I reminded Mom that it’s okay if she wants to make another turkey dinner for the real Thanksgiving Day on November 26th. There’s no such thing as too much turkey as far as I’m concerned!
My sweet pal, Pigeon, tagged me to play Thanksgiving Tag. Here are the instructions:
“Here's a little tag game for Thanksgiving. Copy this into your diary, and then "tag" five other furs to respond. Let them know in a pawmail. In your diary begin by thanking the fur who tagged you."
List the five things that you're most thankful for this year:
1. I am thankful for the rescue group (IBOK Rescue) who saved me and Luke from the San Jose Animal Shelter in 2008. They rescued us when we were 4 weeks old, and without them, we wouldn’t be here. Mommy still sends pictures of us to our foster Mom.
2. I am thankful for my Mom and Dad who love me unconditionally (especially Mommy – she lets me get away with EVERYTHING and spoils me rotten – MOL!)
3. I am thankful for my comfortable, safe house and a warm bed to sleep in every night.
4. I am thankful for regular and nutritious meals my Mom feeds me – and especially when I get TURKEY (the kind that she eats!)
5. I am thankful for my brother, Luke. He is my littermate and my soul mate. Our rescue group did not want to split us up – thank goodness Mommy adopted us together!
I know I only have to list 5 things, but I want to add that I am very thankful for my Catster furiends. Luke and I have the best furiends around and we love you ALL.
I don’t want to put any furs on the spot who may not want to play, so if you are reading this diary entry and you’d like to play – please consider yourself tagged!
I received the most pawsome surprise today – I am Cat of the Day! Really I am meowless; I don’t know what to say. I’ve never received any honor or award before today, so I would like to thank Catster from the bottom of my heart for this wonderful surprise.
I am very fortunate to have some of the best furiends around here on Catster. I love all my pals and I am very touched by your warm wishes and generous gifts. This day really wouldn’t mean anything to me without your furiendships, which I treasure.
This honor is even more meaningful for me (and Mom) because of the fact that tomorrow is Veterans Day. Our Mom works for the VA and she greatly respects and appreciates the service and sacrifice of the men and women who have protected and defended our nation.
Did you know that our nation has 23 million living veterans? Although we usually think of their courage and sacrifice in war, they are also the reason we are able to speak openly and freely in public places, express ourselves openly in the media, and vote freely for those we choose to govern us. Mom says it is really a privilege for her to be able to work with and serve our country’s veterans.
Thank you again Catster for this pawsome honor and to my furiends for helping me to celebrate my special day. Please remember to hug a veteran tomorrow in honor of Veterans Day, November 11th, and tell them 'thank you' for their service to our great country!
