Boy, what a lot of stuff has happened over the past three and one-half weeks! I don't remember a whole lot about the first four weeks of my life, but the time since then has been one great big adventure!
My human mommy says she thinks I was just too curious for my own good, whatever that means, and that I must have wandered away from my first mommy, and any brothers and sisters I had. I don't remember---that was so long ago. I just remember some creature picking me up from some really hard ground, and putting me in something that made a weird purring noise, and feeling like I was moving. (My human mommy says I was found in a parking lot near a manufacturing company, whatever that means. Whoever found me took me to some place called the Humane Society).
I met a boy there, and a few minutes later his mom came in and saw me. Someone brought me some formula and the boy's mommy got to feed me there. I heard her say she would take me home with her and take care of me until I was old enough to be adopted. I didn't know what "adopted" meant, but I just wanted to go somewhere and start playing!
That was three and one-half weeks ago, and I have been playing LOTS and LOTS and LOTS ever since! I figured if I was a good boy, but not too good, maybe I could steal the boy's heart, and his mom's and dad's hearts too. And I made sure that they couldn't forget that I was there. I attack their feet whenever I can, and I also spend lots of time harassing my new big sister, Angel. She's a cat, like me, but she doesn't seem to know it.
Anyway, about ten days ago my mommy and my boy took me back to the Humane Society to show me off, and to adopt me! They said I get to live with them forever, and they will be my humans! I was so excited! I knew all along that this would happen, because God sent me to them---it just took them awhile to figure that out.
I have another brother and sister, also. My humans say their names are Oreo and Sandi, and that they are dogs. I just know it's fun to climb into Oreo's food bowl and swipe my paw across his nose when he tries to smell me. He and Sandi both like to smell me for some reason. They are kind of annoying, but sometimes they are kind of fun to tease, too. They don't hurt me, because I am too ferocious-looking when I arch my back and hop sideways towards them on my tippy toes, with my claws out, hissing. They back off real fast when I do that! They know better than to mess with me!
I am growing fast, my mommy says. I am big enough now to get to eat in the kitchen with Angel when it's time to eat. And my litterbox is upstairs now, because I learned how to go up and down the stairs a few weeks ago. I get to run all over the house, and play with lots of toys, and Angel, and Sandi and Oreo. I get really wild sometimes. I am so happy and excited, and I just have to keep doing silly things to keep the rest of my family happy and entertained. They say they didn't know their lives were so boring and uneventful before I came along. I don't know what that means, because I've been here as long as I can remember, and so have they.
Well, that's about all I am going to write here for now. I needed to get a lot written today to get caught up on my life up to now. So far it has been one great big adventure for me!

What a turn of events around here! Yesterday my mommy brought home a little snotrag of a kitten, and put her in MY carrier with MY old litterbox, and is feeding her MY formula! Mommy says this kitten isn't going to live here forever though, because she's not going to be adopted here like I was. So I decided I'd better at least be civil to her.
Mommy says her name is Li'l Orphan Annie, but we'll just call her Annie. She's a scrawny little thing, and her left eye doesn't open up all the way. Mommy says she has an eye infection, and Angel and I have to stay away from her. That suits us just fine.
To be perfectly honest, I'm GLAD I don't have to be locked inside that carrier any more. I'm getting to be a BIG boy now, and it's fun to be free to run and play and eat and sleep whenever and where-ever I want. Mommy and Daddy know when I get hungry, and I've trained them to ring a little bell whenever they get me my food, so I'll know when it's ready and won't have to beg them for it. They've learned this trick fairly quickly, and it allows me to keep right on playing until I hear the little bell. Then I stop playing long enough to eat, and then it's right back to playing again.
I've found LOTs of hiding places to sleep, but I REALLY like jumping up on my Mommy in the middle of the night when she's sound asleep, and nibbling on her ear to reassure her that I still love her. I know she wouldn't like it if I let her sleep all night long for once. She needs that extra assurance in the middle of the night.
I guess that's about all for today. I'm tired and going to go get some sleep until it's time to go nibble Mommy's ear again. I need to be rested up, because then it will be time to play until she rings the bell when she has my food ready!

I don't know what they have to go and do that for. I'm not going to do anything bad. I just want to meet her up close, and start playing with her! Can't they understand that?
with my front feet stretched out and my face buried in the middle of my legs. My back half was hanging over onto Meowmie's back, and my back feet were dangling and so was my tail. I was very RUDELY awakened when I slipped down onto Meowmie's lap and she started laughing at me! I don't know what all the fuss was about. Can't a guy even get a little cat nap in around here? Sheesh!
