indoors Arrival Story: I had heard my Tennessee family say that some of us would need to be adopted. Not long after that I learned about a Pennsylvania family who was sad that one of their kitties had gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
Then came a flutter of angel wings and an idea was born. I could help both families!
A 704 mile journey was arranged for me. A trip carried out by my Tennessee family and an amazing bunch of Catster Mommies who became my "Aunties"
My Tennessee mommy said ~ "Gabby is such a sweet purr, just looking for someone to love her."
And as one of my Aunties said to my Pennsylvania mommy about me ~ "She needed you and you needed her." Bio: I am a "talker" I have the sweetest voice and quite a vocabulary of purrs, coos, chirps, mews and meows.
I am a lover and a licker. Hold out your hand and I will lower my head into it for caresses and I will lick and kiss your hand.

I'm young. I'm amused by everything around me. Everything I see has the potential to be a toy. I'm also food obsessed. (I've been on restricted food for about a year and it's on my nerves)
I've found a way to combine these two things! When I want to eat... (which may be only 10 minutes after the last time I ate, or an hour later.) there are a few tactics I try. Cry, meow, be extra affectionate (in the hope of trading "love" for "food.") Try to trip any moving human or at least "herd" them to either where my daily food allotment is kept or where my sad and empty food bowl sits.
If these tactics do not procure me food (and the success rate of these tactics varies wildly) I have now learned that I can knock things off the coffee table. Oh, that tactic gets my family's attention quickly. (it does not however, often get me fed.)
The little cups that Ari gets his oats, groats or other extra protein delivered to him are perfect to start the "knock off" game.
Mama usually has a book (or two) on the coffee table as well and those are fun to either bite first and then push off the table, or just push off the table.
Any papers on the table are fun to send sailing to the floor.
The remotes are a little harder to push off the table, but with sufficient effort can be done (and you can be certain that one really gets Papa's attention.)
There's a pack of small batteries on the table too and those are best knocked off while also being on top of the table. Being on the floor and reaching up to knock the batteries off can result in the batteries hitting you in the head. (A very undesired consequence, that will get you laughed at.)
By evening, Mama has already picked up the things I've knocked off of the table during the daytime and thinks "it's Papa's turn." Papa usually picks up my knockings with a little laugh and a smile. "Who says, I don't have children?" he says or "children must play." He usually doesn't feed me either though, without first consulting the clock.
I bet if I could reach the clock and knock it off the speaker stand, I might have more success.
This day Papa brought shoppin' bags home when he came home on break. In 'tis bag o goodness i could smell delicious breads. I said "breads, stand a ready, I be plunderin ye."
'n i chomped chomped chomped right through th' bag 'n th' bread bag. How's that fer some fine feline sharp 'n toothiness. Th' vile papa caught me 'n takes away me breads. How can i be a scurvy pirate wit' no booty?

Ye messages brought a smile to me face ~ I be a blessed lass to have such wonderful mateys!
I read about this new game called 'Kitty Kat Talk Tag' in Colette's diary it seems like it's really easy to play as there are no rules!
You just have to answer a few Questions. So please PLAY ALONG, everyfur!
1. Your Meowmy or Dad is asleep and you are furry hungry; You would.....
First, take a position on the bed near their heads. Pawing their hair works to get them awake, but not always out of bed. If I want to eat, the best way is to find one of their faces and lick it ! (They're up and out of bed in an instant and I get fed)
2. You are furry sleepy and are sleeping on a top ledge; Meowmy or Dad would say..........
"Oh look at that floofy belly" and then they would [oh horrors!] touch it. Which would probably cause me to recoil in revulsion and roll off of the ledge.
3. You saw a dog who wants to chase something; what's the furry furst thing you would you say or do?
Do you lick ears?
4. Your Meowmy or Dad wants you to stop tearing the furniture. You would...
Stop, give them a guilty face and back away from the furniture. (All of this is preceded by the words "No Gabby, we don't do that." in a stern tone.)
5. Your Kitty Kat emergency box, full of fur fashions, is locked. Oh No! You would....
My *What* ?!? ~ If I have a "Kitty Kat Emergency Box" you can bet, it's got food stashed in it! (and if it was locked, I'd cry, coo and try to trip a human)
Okay, I don't "Tag" ~ But if you liked reading my answers and want to show me yours, consider yourself "Tagged"
