It's Been Great, But I Have to Go Now

I have been reflecting back on my life lately and I'm convinced that I have had a great one. Over the years I have been lucky enough to be a family pet when I was young, learning to love people. Then my circumstances led me to strike out on my own and spend some time exploring the world around me. After I saw all I needed to see of the Mile High city I ventured over to the MaxFund where I was taken care of and got to meet some other great cats. Luckily, I also got to meet "D" and "T" who decided to welcome me into their home.

The last 2 months here have been really great. I've been blessed with a chance to relax and enjoy myself like I've never had before. The other cats that live here, Linus and Lucy, have come to accept me and I have had lots of time to cuddle up and spend time with with my foster parents. Unfortunately, I've not been feeling well and I'm very tired. I think it's time for me to move on to my next adventure in this great place called kitty heaven that "T" has been telling me about. We spent a lot of time together talking about it and I think we both know that the time is here. I'm sad to leave, but I know that good things await me when I move on. I want to thank all of you out there for caring about me so much and sending me your positive thoughts. I didn't think it was possible for an old homeless cat to find so much love, but I now I know that prayers do get answered. I wish all of you the best, and I hope to see you again someday in heaven.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Hi all.

Sorry I haven't been online lately, but I've been a bit under the weather for the past few days. I am perking up now, but I'm still not 100% so I'm taking things easy. I was feeling a bit out of sorts towards the end of last week and I kept trying to tell "D" and "T", but they weren't really listening so finally I had to show them that I wasn't feeling well. Let's just say in hindsight I wish I would have kept my mouth shut. I had to go to the doctor and they did some things to me that I was not very happy about. Then, I come home thinking all is well until "D" and "T" start coming after me trying to make me swallow all sorts of weird stuff. Pills and pink liquid. EWWWW! No thanks. They keep telling me it's for my own good, but I don't buy that line.

Anyway, over the last few days I have become very adept at expelling these offensive objects from my mouth instead of swallowing them. Last night I managed to hack one up and lauch it across the room, much to "D"'s exasperation. It was pretty fun. In the end I swallow them because I know that it's good for me, but I can't let them get away with torturing me that easy, can I?

So, not to worry, I am on the mend and back in action. I do have to get off to bed now as I need the restorative powers of rest of relaxation to heal my little body. So, until next time, goodnight and sleep tight!

Cross Your Fingers!!

Man, I'm nervous. "D" and "T" told me I'm getting a visitor tomorrow and I don't know what to expect. A nice woman saw my ad on CraigsList and checked out my blog and now she wants to meet me! I am really excited because this could be it. This could be my chance for my own family and a forever home. I really hope that this lady likes me because I'm getting kind of tired of waiting around. I really like living here, but this isn't my forever home and I feel like I'm in a waiting zone. Let's just say that I'm a little stressed.

So, I have high hopes that this woman and her two little girls will like me and will make me a part of their family, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. I don't want to be too disappointed if it doesn't work out. I know my perfect family is out there for me so if this situation doesn't work out I guess it's for the best, but I still have my fingers crossed. Please cross your fingers for me too!

It's GAME TIME - Woo!

Guess what happened when I woke up yesterday? I realized what day it was - SUNDAY! Those of you who've been reading know that Sunday is football day and I get to spend the whole day hanging out with "T". Granted, to enjoy the benefits of hanging out with him (LOTS of back pets and neck rubs) I have to suffer the annoyances (John Madden (obviously) and completely ridiculous commercials. But, I don't care because it is uninterrupted me time and that is awesome!

"D" is almost never here during football time (something about she'd rather poke out her own eye) so it's just me and "T". Oh, and those other two cats too but they don't really count. It is so much fun to watch the game and take little naps and be petted. I mean, what could be better? I just hope that when I find my forever home I get to spend lots of quality time with my new family. I really need some stability in my life and a nice relaxed environment to call home. I hope that you can offer me that and that you email me today to talk about how we can meet.

Has Anyone Seen "T"??

This is so weird! "T" is usually here with me every night to hang out and pet me and stuff, and all of a sudden he's nowhere to be found. I noticed over the weekend that "D" and "T" were gone for way longer than usual and some other lady came over to feed me. I guess they went on some sort of vacation. Anyway, then they came back and everything was normal again, but now "T" is gone again?!?!? This is weird! Linus and Lucy told me that sometimes "D" and "T" have to travel for their work, but I don't know what that means. What is "work"??? I don't know, but I'll tell you one thing, I don't like it!

I miss "T" a lot when he's not around. He's really nice and pays special attention to me, which is great. I don't need a whole lot and I'm pretty low maintenance (compared to Lucy anyway), but I love getting special attention. I like to get pets, and be brushed and just generally hang out with people. "D" tries her best, but "T" is more of a hanging out kind of person, and I really miss him right now. He's always telling me stories about how I'm going to get my own special family that will love me and shower me with attention. I like that idea a lot!

What do you think? Are you the right person for me? I hope so. Why don't you send me an email so we can get to know each other better. We might be the perfect match!

A True Carnivore - Yumm!

Can I just tell you, REAL food rocks! Grilled steak? Love it. Rotisserie Chicken. Yumm. Tuna fish. Sounds good. Don't get me wrong, I still like my beef Fancy Feast (add a little bit of evaporated milk please) and "D" and "T" don't let me have special treats very often, but every once in a while I am offered a little morsel of "people food" and I just can't get enough.

Why is it called "people food" anyway. Aren't cats the ultimate carnivores? I suppose the semantics aren't important. I just know that I LOVE the stuff. If it was up to me I'd forego cat food altogether and stick with the scraps from "T"'s plate, but I don't think that's an option. Oh well, I suppose I'll just keep looking forward to my special treats and hope that I start to get them more often in my forever home (hint, hint).

So, if you have a soft spot for this hungry kitty who wants to lick your plate clean, send me an email and we can ararange a time to meet. I'm really looking forward to it!

THIS is why I like Football...

Need I say more? Talk about "a picture speaks a thousand words". Sunday afternoon football games give me the opportunity to do what I like best - relax with my foster dad "T". Don't get me wrong, I like to hang out with "D" too, but she doesn't really sit down and relax very often and she definitely doesn't watch football. I have to say, I'm not really a fan of the game myself (it's kind of confusing and the uniforms are hideous), but I love lounging around cuddled up next to "T", so it works out great!

I keep saying my prayers that my forever family will like to spend their time relaxing and cuddling with me. That will make me SO happy. I mean, I understand that people have to go to work and have other things they have to do sometimes, but I want to live with people who will spend their free time relaxing with me. If you have lots of free time, all the better. I would love to find a nice person that spends a lot of time at home to adopt me. That would be perfect. I hope you are sitting at home reading this thinking about how great it would to have me there with you. Just send me an email and we can chat. Who knows, we may just be the perfect match!
