Coloration: Spotted
Likes: I love riding on Maumi's shoulder, kissing her mouth when she's asleep, laying on her face and patting her while she is asleep, hide and seek, chase, fetch and playing outside most of all.
Pet-Peeves: I do not like to be told 'NO', not being able to go outside, one of my sisters playing with my favorite toys.
Favorite Toy: My little puff ball and my defeathered birdie. I hide all my toys in my playhouse so no one can find them but me.
Favorite Nap Spot: Anywhere in the sun and now on top of my play center.
Favorite Food: I prefer to eat Maumi's food with her or my older sisters' dry food instead of my 'kitten' food.
Skills: I can already leap at least 4 feet, run like a gray streak, fetch, 'hum' when I am upset, and have the most beautiful singing chortle.
Dwells:
indoors
Arrival Story: On February 2, 2009 I found myself lost,cold and missing Mommy. Not knowing how I got outside in the cold, I dragged myself under something that was warm. A few minutes later 2 big feet appeared and large warm hands pulled me out from under what I now know as a car. This human was a man. I heard another human call him Marc, and he carried me inside where it was warm.
There was a big cat that looked kinda like Mom, but he didn't like me at all, especially when I thought he could give me lunch. He made funny buzzing sounds everytime my new friend picked me up to give me a bottle full of formula.
I lived with him for about 3 weeks and went to live with my new Mom now, in Spotsylvania County. I decided I liked her right away because my friend Marc, called her Mom. I immediately leaped onto her shoulder and rubbed her neck like a scarf, chortled in her ear and patted her face.
She took me upstairs and put me in Marc's old room and since then has given me lots of toys, a litter box, a TV with soft music, lots of good kitten food, all the love I could want, and 3 older sisters, Baby, Pretty Girl and Miss Kitty.
Two days later I went to the vet for shots and a checkup where I weighed in at 1 pound 9 ounces and was estimated at 7 weeks of age, healthy and beautiful--PURRRRFECT condition.
Meowmy's account--Bastet was fortunate to have crawled under my son's warm car where he found her, for the next day, the temperatures dipped way below freezing and they remained as such for days.
Bio: I live in Spotsylvania County, Virginia near Fredericksburg with my sisters Miss Kitty, Baby Cat and Pretty Girl, with Mom and her husband, my new Dad.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Celebrating the marriage of Ari and Ginny Dangerous Beans
It pains my entire human family and furamily that we do not have a list of animal friendly shelters and hotels. By 'we' I mean all of us on Catster/Dogster.
Some of us live in wild fire proned areas, volcanic areas, earthquake areas, hurricane areas and tornado areas.
My family lives in VA and are blessed with the fact that these disasters are rare.
However, many of us face these disasters every day. I wish that at some point, HQ could find and post animal friendly shelters and hotels on the site somewhere. Therefore all of us would know there is a place of safety we can go and keep our furmaly together; save lives, and recover together; not mourn our loved ones killed in the disaster.
Athens, Greece at this time is experiencing wild fires like California and we have been in touch with our Greek furrends. So far the ones close to the fires are safe. But for how long...
Please, if anyone in HQ could gather a list first in those areas (after the change over crises is over) you would be saving may lives.
A,aaaa,,aaaameow...Maumi is picckkinngg meee upppp furrrommm mmy soappp bbox.....
It sickened Maumi's heart and made her cry to hear that humans would actually leave behind the best furrends they ever knew.
Seeing Maumi cry inspired me to write this poem/prayer for those souls lost in the California fires:
~For the Souls Lost in the Fires~
We each said a purrayer, my sisfurs, brofur and I,
Fur the poor California animals left behind to die.
I know they are now free to play,
To roam and romp painless efurryday.
With love that comes furom efurry new furrend,
And a new life that God did send.
So for each little soul tonight we purray,
Let God's hands hold them while on their way.
Yesterday in the late afternoon, I escaped from my rooms and tasted furreedom for the first time in a week. I was in the office across the hall from my room fooling Maumi into thinking was sleeping in my favorite sunny sleeping spot. But in truth I was just waiting for the right moment to come for my Great Escape. I knew she would have to open the door sometime and she did. Using my purrfect kitty reflexes, in an instant, I leaped from my corner bed diagonally across the room, out the door and Maumi couldn't catch me. 'Na, na, na, na, na,' I said and ran down the stairs.
I could hear her call me, but I wouldn't let her get near me. My tabbytude combined with my EMAU self, wouldn't allow me to listen to her. Oh, the taste of furreedom is sweet to an EMAU! Especially after being couped up for a week. At least Maumi removed my torture collar last week.
When Dad came home I tip toed over to see him and I heard Maumi call to him that I had escaped. As soon as I heard that, like the silver streak that I am, I dashed away from him. I would not let anyone near me. I didn't want to go back in any room. Even though Maumi tried to carry me from room to room wherever she went, I still didn't have my furreedom.
While I was furree, I played with toys and chased my sisfurs, who tried to get me to calm down, especially Pretty Girl, but I didn't listen to her. I stayed out for hours.
But with playing and running, and jumping, comes sleepiness. About 30 minutes after my escape, Maumi began to stop calling me. I knew then this was becoming a war of attrition. Maumi and Dad were waiting for me to wear down. At 10:30, Maumi went in my room, Dad downstairs and they both totally ignored me. And I was getting sleepy.
Of course, I hate being ignored, so I tiptoed upstairs to see what Maumi was doing. I thought Dad was downstairs, but he came up behind, grabbed me when I laid outside my room door, and gave me to Maumi.
I had furreedom for over 5 hours. I was so ANGRY I spent the night under the bed. At least until 5 AM when I jumped on Maumi, kissing and loving her and sleeping on her face, neck and chest. We made up. She still loves me. Even though my tabbytude came out.
Now today, after I ate my breakfast, Maumi has allowed me out with my sisfurs. But unfortunately she knows how to calm me down. She is playing ZEN music which I love and it keeps me from becoming the wild EMAU kitten that I would like to be. I am beginning to feel sleepy and ready for a cat nap.
I am healing fine, and Maumi checked; no torn stitches or bleeding. Guess my guardian Angel Buddy has been working over time for me. Thanks Buddy, that healing heavenly ice cream really works.
Thanks all my furrends for your concern, purrayers and crossed paws. Have a good weekend,
~~~~~~~~~Bastet
PS, Dear Journal: Of course, along with that came, I will not eat my kitten food because I didn't want to take away time from my furreedom. So I starving now.
