the life of a little cat

My life in the new house

Well, now, I'm in my new house, with my humans and my "uncle" Regis. This house is smaller than the other, but it is very good so. My humans are very kind to me, even though I always want to play. And apparently, they aren't always glad with that... Sometimes, I see they are hurt... and when I look at my paws, I see the wounds of my humans are the shape of my claws... well since I'm so small, I can't jump on my humans without climbing a little... I think it comes from there... So, to make them forgive me, I'm very kind with them, and I get petted a lot. I looks like they like petting me ^^
Sometimes, too, they scare me, shouting after me, making noises that hurt my little ears and hitting my nose. I don't like it. so I avenge myself. I wait behind a corner of the flat, and I jump on their legs. But they make these noises only when I do certain things... So I don't make them. But sometimes, I don't understand. I'm just playing with my humans, and they don't like it. Perhaps because it is dark, and they are under a blanket... and now, when it's dark, they don't always let me come in the room with the blanket. So I play with Uncle Regis. it looks like he doesn't like me very much.
Sometimes, while playing, I see a black thing behind me. It follows me everywhere I go... But what's strage is, when I bite it to make it go away, it hurts me...
after a week or so with my humans, they took Uncle Regis away for one day. when he came back, he said he was at the "vet"'s. the "vet" is a human who pretends to heal us... but Uncle Regis sais he's just planting needles into us. I don't think i'll like the "vet".
Uncle Regis isn't very funny. he's always sleeping under the bed, and chases me when I get near him. I don't see him eat very much. My humans seem worried about him. one time I've been very jealous: Uncle Regis recieved a whole bowl of ham!
After a few weeks, he got better, and started to get out from under the bed and eating again. he even began to tolerate me. but he mostly stays under the bed.
We are now in the beginning of July. My female human got away, I'm alone with the male human, and with Uncle Regis, of course. But we have a guest. It's one of my sisters, Quiducha (which means Sweety in Portugese), who was adopted by the mother of my female human. She was cool to play with, but she seemed a little ill. but sometimes, I did a little too much. So Uncle Regis protected her. *note of the humans: too cute ^^*
one day, my male human took me and my sister to the "vet". He stuck a needle in me. I didn't like it. I tried to bite the "vet". then, my human took me outside of the "vet"'s room, and like ten minutes after that, we got home, without my sister. I don't know why... *note: she had a serious disease... we had to put her asleep. RIP (article coming soon)*
a week after my first visit at the "vet", my male human got away too. I was happy. I could do everything I wanted. The human who lived at my Mommy's house came everyday to feed us and play with us. During the 2 weeks I was alone with my Uncle Regis I learned to jump on the chairs without having to climb up. I was proud of myself.
When my humans came back, they said I was much bigger than when they went away. My weight's now 1.4 kg (~3 lbs). my humans say that my meows are still useless.
Now we are in september and I'm finally able to jump on the fridge. it's very high. I'm a little afraid up there. Uncle Regis is getting much better. He starts to like me, and takes habits he apparently had before my arrival.
in my new house, there are transparent things, and behind these things, there is a room I've never been to. My humans won't let me go there. But now, they let me go to what they call "outside". it is on the roofs. it's very very high. even worse than on the fridge. my male human held me over the big hole the first time they let me go "outside". I understood he wanted to show me that it is dangerous. So I'm nice, and I don't try to jump on the balcon beneath the "outside". and now, they let me go "outside" whenever I want to, or almost.
And while writing these lines, my male human is scratching my back. I like that ^^
MEOW!

my first days

I was born on the 25th of april 2007, in a big house in a small village in Switzerland. My mother is called Cordula, my father... well, I don't really know which of the many cats who roams around in the area my father is... but I think he's called Garfield. the house is very big. I live on the second floor. There, we are safer than in the rest of the house, said Mommy. Even though, a stranger wanted to eat us. I don't know really why. Fortunately, Mommy protected me, my brothers and my sisters.
Our playground was a laundry basket. Mommy said we souldn't go away from this place, otherwise, we'd fall from the stairs. "that hurts" said Mommy. Whatever she said, I couldn't walk, so I didn't even think of going away. and I like my Mommy too much, so I wanted to be near her. My little family always got visited by humans. they were always kind to us. But I didn't like very much when they took me in their arms.
One day, though, two humans, a male and a female came to visit. they took all of my brothers and sisters in their hands, and then, me. I liked them from the beginning. but they didn't stay very long. I'didn't see them for quite some time.
After that (it was around one week after I was born), Mommy tried to bring us elsewhere, in the appartment of the human who was often near us, on the ground floor. but she didn't want us there. she said she had too little space for having us there, and that we were too noisy... Well, since we always were hungry, and calling Mommy for milk, I could understand the human...
Then, around one and a half month after my birth, the two humans who came to visit took me with them. so I ended in another house. Luckily, it hasn't stairs. Stairs are dangerous. A human who lived in the other house almost stepped on me while I was climbing the stairs... and in the new house, I met a cat I never saw before. He's called Regis.
