indoors Arrival Story: Menes or (Mimi) is my name. Sometimes I get mixed up on who I really am. All I know is that I was wandering around in a parking lot and found a nice warm car to stand by. A man came out and moved me to the grass. Well I wasn't taking no for an answer. I wasn't dumb. I saw the door he came out of and waited there until he came home. Still he just moved me aside and went in for the night. Well knowing 3 times is a charm, and knowing where his backdoor was, I waited for him in the morning. I looked cute, sleek and exotic, so he took me in. For some reason he moved from there for a few years and took me to live with him at his Mom's house, who doted on me, and called me Pharoah because I had 'Mau' characterics. I found I had 2 cat sisters and one Cocker Spaniel sister. THen about 6 monthes later, Pretty Girl came to live with us. She and I loved to chase each other and play. I am fast, no one can catch me. They thought I was a Mimi until my operation and found out I am a Menes, but My Dad still calls me Mimi. Is it any wonder I am mixed up. Because I have whistles, kazoo sounds, chortles and imitate people, they think I am really exotic. I look somewhat like a Mau but am over 2 feet long now from head to where my tail joins my body. Copying humans, such as painting walls, opening/closing doors and playing piano are some of my favorites, and because of this I am Pharoah of my households. Now living with the in-laws, they tried to bring in a kitten who thought I was its mother. I let it know in no uncertain terms, that I am a pharoah. And that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

My sister Miss Kitty, Your light will shine forever. My brother-in-law and friend Baba-Boy…this flame for you will burn forever.
'They were rocking in Boston, Philadelphia PA,' as the song goes, and yesterday we were rocking here in Fredericksburg as well. A 5.8 earthquake hit here yesterday just before 1:00PM. Being about 30-40 miles from the epicenter, we shook almost 60 seconds. Sometime after 12:15 I could hear Grandmeowmy come back home from school taking things to her car and returning to school. It was that time I was outside with Dad on the patio when we noticed there was no sound of birds, squirrels, no birds were flying. Everything was strangley still. Then suddenly, shortly before 1:00 PM, it started with a loud rumbling like a helocopter followed by violent shaking. Dad was having a terrible time standing up.He was saying it reminded him of the 'EWarthquake' ride in Universal Studios in Orlando. I was with him on my leash outside and I puffed up like a blowfish.
After the quaking stopped, Dad and I walked around inside the house and picked up everything we found on the floor or what had fallen over so Grandmeowmy wouldn't be upset. Dad tried to call to Grandmeowmy at school to find out how she was, but cell phones were not operating do to the emergency. Outside Dad and I found everything pretty solid, no foundation shifts, no broken windows, cracks in the foundation or downed trees. It looks like there are a few more cracks in our drive way and it may be raised up a bit. There is a crack at the base of our front porch brick walkway and it is raised less than a quarter of an inch. We live in a subdivision and the subdivision pool has a long crack in the bottom, so the pool will be closed for the season.
Even though during the quake, I could hear things falling to the floor in closets and the garage, nothing seemed to be damaged seriously. However, in the town of Fredericksburg, itself, there was structural damage to the older houses and building. Bricks fell off buildings, windows broke, and a few old chimneys fell from houses. Today we will know a little bit more of the damage.
Yesterday GrandDad hurt his right knee pretty badly getting to safety and he doesn't know how he did it. He was rushing to safety that is all he knew, but he is unable to bend it, he is walking on a cane and needs help to get dressed and undressed. Today he is calling the doctor and since Grandmeowmy is home from school today because schools are closed for damage assement, she will take him to the doctor. He can't drive.
Other than that, we are truly blessed that it wasn't worse. Now, our eyes are on Hurricane Irene. Please, those of you on the coastlines, take shelter.
Yesterday was 'v' day for me and my sisur Baby. Once we got there Baby escaped and hid under the sink behind the trash can. Good for her..she's little. I couldn't squeeze my big self anywhere, so guess what, I was first. Wasn't I the lucky one. Well I showed them who was Pharoah around there. I took my long tail and made one swipe and everything that was on the counter was knocked to the floor. I 'hummed', hissed and backed away from the vet and the assistant. I wrestled with the assistant, pulling her arm close to my teeth and she couldn't get away from me. When she was able to wrestle free of my grip I backed up into the sink. From there I rose up on my hind legs just like a cobra and struck.
I noticed the humans left and I felt like he..he..he..until..the biggest human I have seen entered the room. Again I backed up into the corner, rose on my hind legs making me taller than the human, but the human threw a bigggg towel over me and wrestled me to the counter. She laid on top of me and I felt a poke. Flea shot I heard. I swished my tail and knocked it out of my backside before the vet could get it all the way in. I thought that was over, buuttt, I had to get poked again. Plus again for rabies.
When it was over, they released me and I hid until it took 3 humans to get me into my carrier.
One good thing about this, they couldn't get an accurate weight. The lowest they got was 17 pounds while I was sqirming around. But we all know I weigh more than that.
They admitted I was the strongest cat they have seen and wondered what breed I was mixed with. It doesn't matter...just don't mess with the Pharoah. That's all they need to know. He..he..he..
