Arrival Story: FURRRST of all, I promise more pictures when I come out of hiding! I have to hide for a little bit, until I understand my new surroundings. After that, look out world, here I come!
Mom went to the local shelter that she donates to, to give them a carload of donations for their big garage sale to benefit the shelter. After dropping everything off she asked if she could "visit the kitties" (VERY dangerous MOL) and spent over an hour visiting. Well.... she spied me and fell in love!
Bio: Hi, my name is Chance. My name has many meanings; MAINLY that it is French for "Lucky". And boy, am I LUCKY. Not only to have found my forever home, but to be the 7th kitty in my family! Lucky Number Seven!!! I thank my godmommy Sugar Bear for coming up with my name! :)
Mom left the shelter that Sunday to think it over... and took a "chance" on leaving me there and took a "chance" that I'd be adopted by someone else. And I took a "chance" at a new life, a new family and being whisked off to the unknown. BOY! Mom, Dad and I are all so very happy that we all took CHANCES!!! So here I am, lucky #7 of the Kitty Crew!!
Sadly, I was abandoned and left in an empty house! I was found on Ford Street in St. Paul; for that my original name was "GT". (as in Ford GT) I really like my new name Chance. I was obviously very well cared for, for I'm healthy and beautiful. However, I'm extremely shy, for I don't understand why someone would abandon me?? So... as my mom types this for me, I haven't even been in my new home for 24 hours yet, and I've been hiding. *giggle* I'm a smart kitty! Mom knows that I'll come out of hiding eventually.... she has all of the patience in the world!

The Last Forum I Posted In: The wedding of Karisma & Mr. Lollycat McNoNo
Yesterday was my furrst wedding! And I got to be in it; I got to escort my Godmommy down the aisle and wear a TUX! I've never been dressed up before either!
2 beautiful tabby sisfurs married two handsome siamese brofurs! STUNNING!
MeWOW! A double wedding in Paris! The wedding was SO much fun, and very beautiful too! I've never been to Paris either; what a triple treat the day was! I am so honored to have been chosen by my Godmommy to walk her down the aisle! I love you so much and wish all 4 of you a lifetime of love and happiness!
MOL! my sisfur Oreo has been hogging Catster for the last few days; it's MY turn to talk to my friends! As you may know, Oreo and I are both sick; she has stones and I have crystals. She is worse off than me, so I let her have her time in the spotlight. We found out yesterday that she is able to avoid surgery, for which we are all VERY thankful! So, she and I are using diet therapy to rid ourselves of our stones and crystals. We are both eating Hill's C/D designed to dissolve stones and crystals. Oreo is no trouble at all; it is a breeze getting her to eat~
*giggles at his big-girl sister with the bottomless appetite*
however I'm more of a challenge. I'm more... finicky. Seems that I want everyone else's food, and everyone else wants my food? Why is it that way?
I want to share the importance of not only eating good food, but drinking good WATER. Out of 7 of us in the house, FOUR of us have had crystals, 3 of which have had stones. Those odds are awfully high. Last spring after Odie developed stones, mom took many precautions, did a lot of research, and changed all of our diets over to high quality grain free foods to avoid any of us having stones again. Then.... it happened. Again! TWO of us developed crystals/stones. Mom was stumped. Following further research, she discovered it was our WATER that was causing this! None of us even thought twice about what we were drinking. If the humans could drink from the tap, why couldn't we? Well, our little systems are very delicate and different from humans. Our water comes from a well, and although drinkable, it is loaded with minerals that cause stones! Mom was crushed, feeling guilty for inadvertently and unknowingly giving us "bad" water and basically undoing all that she did to keep us healthy.
So, please! Check your water and be sure it is good for all of you kitties to drink! We now have nothing but purified spring water from a Drinkwell fountain. It is delicious and fun to play with!
Take a CHANCE! Buy a Drinkwell and have fun with it!
To your good health, friends!
Yippie!
I've been at my furever home for exactly one month now, and I am LOVING it! We still have the token hissing going on, but I KNOW it's all an act MOL! They're just jealous because I'm an orangie and very proud member of Brilliant Orange Cats Unite!
I've discovered something here too.... it's called "CATNIP". OMC... I turn into Tornado Kitty when I get a whiff of this stuff! My brothers & sisters just get silly and roll around in it; I, however, become a crazed silly thing with glazed eyes, racing about the room, rolling around in it, plafully swatting my siblings! It is the BEST thing efur! Mom laughs so hard at ME, because nobody else has quite the reaction that I do!
You should try this stuff if you haven't!
I'm working on my second whole month in my new home now! Gotta go... I hear "catnip" calling!
