Arrival Story: Smoosh was a feral cat, living with a group of strays. When she was about 6-months old, she crawled up inside the engine space of a car. This car was then taken to the mechanic--with Smoosh inside! When found, she bit the mechanic and had to be quarantined at the local dog pound. By chance, looking for a kitty for my new apartment, I called the pound on the off chance they might have a cat. They did--but warned me "She's wild." She'd been scheduled to be euthanized the previous two weekends, but the animal control officer had held back as she had just started purring a bit--after about three months in her little cage! I went to see her--a fluffy little black and white ball of fright, huddled in her cage. I had no idea how she'd turn out, but I couldn't leave her there. After a few days of hiding under a desk, she responded to me very quickly and became my companion of 13 years--and counting!

Bio: **MY DARLING COMPANION OF 15 YEARS LEFT ME YESTERDAY, 3/23/07. I MISS HER SO MUCH. NO OTHER KITTY WILL EVER TAKE HER PLACE. Smoosh remains very scared of strangers--I don't think this will ever change. She WILL accept new people--but only after long, long periods of time spent with her. She is undoubtably attached to me--I guess I became her One Person she Needed to Trust. She's lived in a number of different places with me, traveled half way across the country with me, was my only real companion during some lonely times.

Forums Motto: Foodies?! OH YAY, FOODIES!

Well.
Well, when that Big Fluffy Thing came to live with us this April, I WAS SO MAD! I didn't exactly know what it WAS...or what it was doing in MY HOUSE! All that fluff, that squishy face--what? After a few days, I figured out it was a cat. Like me, I think.
I still didn't like it much, tho. I growled at it, hissed at it, HATED it. But then...it didn't bother me, much, that Big Fluffy Thing. It NEVER tried to eat my FOODIES. And after a while, it kinda grew on me--that big Fluffy Thing.
I like it, now, kind of, That Big Fluffy Thing. That Woman who I LOVE, calls it "Little Girl" the way she calls me "DOUD!" I just don't like it when That Big Fluffy--I mean, when Little Girl sits where I belong--with That Woman! That's my spot! I will share That Woman with Little Girl, 'long as I get to be in the good spots: Lap, by her face, under the covers.
Sometimes, I have to carefully but firmly SIT on Little Girl to get her to move, so I can be in The Good Spot. Then, it's GOOD TIMES!
