Arrival Story: Alfie. Where do I start? He was the only cat I have that I set out to get. I don't mean him specifically but I always longed for an orangie. I have a friend, Suzanne who is very involved with a rescue group here in Montreal.She called me March 2006 all excited.There was a litter of kits, she heard they are "amazing" Oh yea, 2 of them were orange/white. So this time I was determined to not let my heart lead the way. I said TOTAL orange, cause that is what I wanted. She sounded a little miffed.Are you not listening she asked me? They are great kittens! So what if they are orange and white. So I am ashamed to say I said, no thanks. That week-end the kittens went to adoption day at a local pet store. It was nasty weather and the adoption day was not a success. All this time I was obliviously carrying on waiting for the perfect orangie. Thank heavens Suzanne called me again. You are going to be so sorry she said. So OK I can be stoopid but not THAT stoopid so my friend Ellie drove me to the house where Alfie was living. It was a Sunday( March ) Momma cat and her 4 kittens were all there. I made a bee-line to the kitten with a smudge on his chin who would become my Alfie. I held him in my arms. He got very cosy and started purring. I fell madly in love on the spot. Never even held the others.It was as if I was afraid of letting go of him. HE IS MINE or is it the other way around?
Bio: Alfie's momma was a little orangie who followed a nice lady home. Nice lady thought she was taking in a fat boy. October 1,2005 she had a lovely surprise when "fat boy" dropped a gift on her bed. (4 kittens, one of whom would become my Alfie. With the help of her 2 young daughters she did a marvelous job of socializing them. When I first saw him one of the little girls was bringing out the 2 brothers. One each hanging like a stuffed toy from her arms. I am also happy to say that the nice lady (whose name I don't recall.) ended up giving away the babies but she kept mama cat:)
When my vet first met Alfie she said she wanted him!!! I mean she really did!!! She had me call the nice lady to see if Alfie's bro was still available. Some lucky person had taken him. (Wish it had been me.)

Alfie blows the dust off his diary and has a sneezing fit.
It has been a while I know.
Good times, sad times... the weeks and months just fly by and I was content to let the little squirt aka Milo bask in the spotlight until today.
I heard from the gorgeous Samoa. She tells me that I am
featured on her mom's Etsy shop blog as one of the handsome mancats
I am also called a gorgeous orangie
*Alfie blushes*
Wow! I am honored and touched.
Mom was going to try to take another picture cause I hate the flash and I turn my head away the last second even though
she tells me the flash is off.
When it comes to picture, I don't trust her. She is capable
of tricking us. She is a bit neurotic when it comes to pix
because she did not take enough pictures of our Wally so now
she is making up by torturing us all.
So thanks Calvin's mom. I wear the collar proudly.
In fact the little squirt felt left out without his Calvin collar so
he is also getting one.
A friend remembers your birthday is tomorrow (October 1st)
even when he is fighting for his life.
Tonight I received a rosie from Calvin
I am really touched by this kind gesture especially since my own mom would have completely forgotten my 4th birthday! Arnold P recently called Calvin everyone's friend. He really is.
Thank you, Calvin.
My birthday wish is for you to have lots more wonderful time
with your family and us.
First of all thanks to everyone who responded to yesterday's entry about my anon heart giving friend.
So much times passes between entries that I am truly surprised that anyone is still reading.
Thanks Tasha, Teebo, Biscuit (Angel;)Fluffy &Alex & Family,Little Bit,MrD,Tyson,Tony,Rizza, and last but not least
sweet Baby G (Forgive me I am too lazy to make links)
Thank you for all the kind messages. You guys are so sweet and
kind!
I did hear from my friend today!!
YAY!!!
You know it's so easy to be
misunderstood and I just couldn't stand the idea of losing
another friend.
I would rather keep the rest private.
I just want you to know that everything is fine (for a change.)
