A lot happened around here this weekend! Furst of all, mama got up very early yesterday mornin ... SEVIE'S MOM came to get the guest kitties. I liked her a lot. And she thought I was very handsome!! She was quite taken with my facial markings. (Not to worry, Oly. You're still the only girl for me!) Sevie's mom and my mama were chatting for a bit, and talking about how they've met so many pawsome humans through Catster. It made mama think about how Catster has really been a life changing thing for her. (And it was a life SAVING thing for me!!) And she just never, EVER expected that out of this funny website community for people who like their cats. HQ humans must sit back in amazement sometimes, looking at what they created. Anyway, after Sevie's mom left, mama was going to do her usual Sunday yardwork. She was a bit tired from Saturday's long drive and being up late with our guests. And she just stood there looking at all of us, because of course we were all gathered in the kitchen wondering "what next" (that's where we usually have these family meetings, over coffee and snackies). And mama says, "The yard will still be there tomorrow. It's Mother's Day. That means that today is for you." We helped mama set a few things back to normal with our litter boxes and fountains and such, and then we spent the rest of the day playing and napping. We hope that all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day, too.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/584152 Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:16:40 PDT Ambro - Ambrogino ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/584152 Tuesday night I wrote about my mama's friend and work colleague.

MAGO pmailed me today to tell me that the weather is good where he lives in Spain!!! He has invited me and Oly-Pie to visit. So I looked up Spain on a map, and then mapquested to check the route. If I can't get us onto one of the big metal birds, then I have to figure out something else. There's a lot of water between here and Spain. I don't like the water so I don't want to swim, and I doubt Oly does either. And I'm not sure, but I have never known mama to take her motor machine into the water. I have heard mama talk of "cruises" on these hyooge boats, so I think that may be the way to go. It would take us a while to get there...after I pick up Oly, I guess we'd travel down to Texas to leave out of one of their ports. But I think this will work. And then while Oly and I journey to Spain, we can bask in the sunbeams, dance the night away, and eateateat to our hearts' content!!! Yup, this plan is sounding better all the time!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/470106 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 19:04:50 PDT Ambro - Ambrogino ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/470106 Okay, I'm sure many of you kitties out there can understand why I just can't take the stress anymore ... http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/468955 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 17:34:32 PDT Ambro - Ambrogino ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/468955 A couple of weeks ago there was an ad on Catster for a book, and the ad caught mama's eye.

Oly sent me a HAZEL LUCY original traquility blanket, with matching cap and neck warmer!!! And I can tell that Oly took great care in selecting just the purrfect colors, because it is in my favorite dark red with beige. Mama says they are excellent colors for me!! My blanket is so cozy...mama promises to get pictures up as soon as possible!! A very belated thanks to all of you Catsters who have been checking in on me and sending your well wishes. While we still don't know exactly what's wrong, we do know that I don't have a blockage or crystals!! But the v-e-t says that I seem to have a very sensitive bladder; possibly I may be having an allergic reaction to something. So mama went through her brain files and tried to think of anything new that was introduced to my world around the time I started getting sick. She had just tried a new all natural litter, but got rid of that immediately just in case that was the culprit, but I was still sick. So litter wasn't the problem. There was only one other thing: a flea collar. When that lightbulb went off in mama's head, she immediately got the thing off of me. I didn't mind wearing it, but it would seem that I'm doing better since she removed it. So we're keeping our paws crossed that the collar was the culprit!! In the meantime, we're waiting for new meddysins that mama had to order from a special pharmacy for me. The v-e-t shaved a little spot on the inside of my ear, and mama will apply a gel there if it seems like I need it. So mama has been really busy with work, and having to go out of town a lot. I miss her when she's gone. But she says she'll be home for my Gotcha Day on the 15th!!!!! I bet I get some pressies and a special dinner!! We were supposed to have a pawty, but since mama's been trying pack to move and the house is a WRECK, mama asked if we could have a big blowout for me next year. I'm good with that. I'm just glad that mama will be home to cellybrate with me this year!! I've also been helping mama to train for her upcoming 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer!! When it's too hot or too dark for her to walk outside, she walks on her treadmill thingy, and I cheer her on and coach her!! Mama's pawsonal web page for the walk is HERE if you would like to check it out or support the cause. Okay, well I'm off to nap for a bit and dream of my Oly-Pie!!!!!

His picture doesn't do him justice; he is absolutely gorgeous!!!! His markings are just beautiful. I wish he could tell me his story. He's so loving, it seems as though he must have at one time had a loving home. He seems to be pretty unphased about being in a new home.

I'm really grateful to everyone who networked to give this kitty another chance!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/224179 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 18:09:00 PDT Ambro - Ambrogino ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/410937/diary/Second_chances/224179 Well, um...I'd introduce myself but I don't think I know my name.
