More family

While we were gone I got to meet so many new family members, we stayed at their houses, so many new smells!! I met a new friend, though he seemed a little ...stiff....

I found a wicked fun new toy! A nice big juicy though quite tough squeaky rat, though I was told it was a "dog" toy, I mean really.... A rat?!?!  What says cat more than rat?? It even rhymes!!

I also found windows!! Soo many windows!!!  

I played with a geocache... They said they were called "dog tags". Why so many references to dogs?!?!  Everyone knows cats are highly superior to dogs!!  Regardless, fun toys!!

Do you know how much this new family loves me??? Look at what they made... Just for me!!!  I feel so special I can't even explain it!!

We had a nice long trip but it seemed soon we were in the truck again on our way home... What a long drive!!  Though I found a nice comfortable spot!!

Then tra la! We were back home again, cozy as can be!

Thanks everyone for following my journey, I love sharing this with you and I love love love to hear all your comments, please share some pictures of your own furry beauties for me to see!!  See you next time my friends!!

Travelling.

Well here I am trapped in a carrier in a truck traveling for such a long time!!!  We left early in the morning and they tell me we will only get there at bedtime!!  This is going to take a lot of willpower to sleep for the whole trip, no worries everyone, I will also stay up for the whole night and rip around and attack everything in sight including faces if they twitch!  A kitten has to do what a kitten has to do!!  

Did I mention it's a bit of an outrage that they expect me to stay in my carrier the whole trip?? I expressed my outrage and sure enough, I got my way, I always do!

Something new...

Well last night I found something new!!  I found the bathtub!!  I was having a great time playing outside the tub playing with favorite little guy Sam, who was inside the tub. Well my curiousity got the best of me and I had to jump up on the edge to check out what he was doing in there.  It was weird, he was sitting in a giant water dish... Odd... Well I continued to play with him but oddly I'm a little clumsy at times and whoops, in I fell!!  I panicked!!! I could not get out!! Who knew it would be so slippery and so sooooooo wet!!!!!  My momma thankfully ran in to rescue me, phew I thought I'd never get out!!  She wrapped me in a towel and gave me a rub down, I was so scared that I didn't even bite her like I normally do (I really like biting).  Luckily I dried off pretty fast... What a night!!

Stitches

Today I got to take a trip to my new veterinarian today, oh my...they were so excited to see me!!  What a wonderful trip, I got to have lots and lots of treats, I so love treats!!  After she had a good look at me and cuddled me up, we went and they took my stitches out, did that ever feel good!!!  I think it's a big step in my recovery, now I can do so much more, a few days left with this annoying cone on my head and I will be good to go!!!

Mornings!

Mornings here in my new home are so much fun, I just can't wait for everyone to wake up, when they do ohhhhh I cannot stop purring, I am told that my purr is so much louder than every other cat, I think it's cause I'm just so grateful for life!

Deep thoughts...

Hi again everyone!!

I sitting here all tucked in and snug in my bed and getting very emotional thinking back on what I've been through so far.  I've had an incredibly happy couple of days with my new family but I want everyone to remember how I got here.  I was terribly and awfully injured just two months ago, when I was just a wee kitten, the pain and sadness I went through was so awful, so terrible... It cannot be described in simple words.  I really want everyone to know that if it weren't for the Edmonton Humane Society, I would not be here.... At all!  It humbles me and brings me so much emotion.  I beg of you, any of you out there who can understand a little of how I feel, please, please, please, if you could find it in your heart, I would humbly ask you to check out the Edmonton Humane Society website: http://www.edmontonhumanesociety.com

Check it out for yourself, in person, or online and see what a huge difference they can make in so many lives, feline, canine, human, etc.  What I ask of you all is if you can spare even just a tiny amount of money, please consider donating to the worthy cause of the sick and injured animal fund: https://dnbweb1.blackbaud.com/OPXDONATE/AddDonor.asp?cguid=0DB85541-C5CF-4782-B66E-37530502B426&sTarget=https%3A%2F%2Fdnbweb1%2Eblackbaud%2Ecom%2FOPXDONATE%2Fdonate%2Easp%3Fcguid%3D0DB85541%252DC5CF%252D4782%252DB66E%252D37530502B426%26dpid%3D3239&sid=DD4939DA%2D72AF%2D4D4C%2D80EA%2DA99BECC50CEF

Without the donations that came in to help me, I would not be here!  I would like to pay that favor forward to the next animals that come to the humane society in similar conditions that I came in.  The kindness of strangers makes the world a better place and I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart!! THANK YOU!! It cannot be said enough.  If only you could hear my purr right now, you'd know just how much it means to me!

Settling in!

Hello favorite people!!

Today was a fantastic day, I really think I am making a friend, his name is Diego, he only hisses at me every other time that I jump at him!! That's friendship!

I explored almost the whole house today, it's a new room everyday, it's overwhelmingly exciting!  Today ... Kitchen, so fun!  I played so much today that I had to take some long naps!!! Wow I played myself unconscious, well you know what they say, go hard or go home, I went hard AT home!! Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh!! 

Do you want to know what my favorite toy is??? HAIR!!!!! My girl Erin has the best hair for playing, oddly she doesn't seem to always enjoy it, I have to take her by surprise, that screen she holds definitely keeps her busy enough for me to get that hair without her seeing me coming!! Oh so fun!!!  

My first day

Oh my goodness, was this day ever busy!!!  Luckily I have enough energy to handle these days!  It seems my energy will just never stop, well until everything is nice and quiet and all of a sudden I realize just how tired I am! PHEW!  

Today started with my best friend Mariah and I making our last trip together to the Humane Society.  Today is the day that I go to my forever home, it's a happy-sad kind of day.  When we arrived at the Humane Society I was welcomed, as always, by all my favorite people.  These wonderful people that work at this awesome place are all so kind and so gentle to me and all my friends that are looking for their forever homes.  I will miss coming here every week and enjoying them all.  First thing we did was go and show the Doctor what a super healer that I am.  Yes my body heals like no other!  Once that was over I got to go hang out with my new family.  Wow the emotions we all had, I could hardly contain my energy, I really wanted to show them how much I was excited to go home with them.  All of a sudden before I knew it there were about a million cameras all around me taking videos and pictures, I know I am gorgeous but wow, so many cameras at once???  My family talked all about how they found me and helped me, I felt so proud!!

Once they stopped showing off how cute I am to the cameras, I said my sad goodbyes to my humane society friends and we started off for home!  Once there I realized I had not one but two new friends, best thing was... They even kinda looked like me!! I got soooo excited, I mean thrilled... I couldn't contain myself...sadly that was my downfall, I tried too hard to be friends with them.  How was I to know that I should take it slow when meeting them... Instead I raced over to say hi and play with them but didn't realize that I had backed them into a corner.  They didn't enjoy that.  So next time I must remember.... Take it slow!!! It's just so hard!!  I'm sooooooo excited!!!  Well I think after hours and hours of playing I should probably... Hmm....play some more while my new family sleeps... Hope I'm not too noisy hee hee!!!

Home...

More coming up later, for now, I'm tired!! It's been a big day!!

My Past

Hello everyone, I want to start my story with what little I know of my past.  The small amount I can remember was a short but happy time with my mother, I don't know what happened but I can recall a flashing moment followed by a lot of pain and cold.  I was on a fast moving road with giant vehicles zooming so close to me, I was so scared and I couldn't move, I realized something had happened to my body and that I was badly injured.  I thought it was the end, until someone scooped me up off that scary place and put me on a warm soft calm place, I was hurting so bad I couldn't focus but I was able to relax a little, knowing I was safe.  I remember several soothing voices and little hands petting the fur on back.  It may have been the only place that didn't hurt.  They brought me to a bright place where they did their best to try to heal me, for a while I didn't know what was going to happen, but finally I was able to sleep.  I woke up in a new place with lots of new faces, I felt so much better and I had a big bandage  on my leg.  I couldn't feel my front leg at all, it was odd, but I managed to figure out how to balance without it and eventually it was really just in the way. 

I was finally feeling so much better and I was able to go home with one of the people that worked at this place that I  had been brought to which I later learned was called the Edmonton Humane Society.  Her house was so fun, I had friends to play with and my own room and my own toys, everything was so cozy and comfortable.  I got to travel back and forth to the humane society to visit all the people there that loved me there, they always gave me lots of attention and every time I went they gave me a new color of bandage on my leg, that was pretty awesome.  A few times when I went back there I had visitors, the first time they came to see me I knew I recognized those voices....it was the people that scooped me up off that road!!  I was so thankful for what they did for me, they told me that once I was all healed up I would get to come home with them FOREVER!!!  Did you hear me?? FOREVER!!!  That is an awesome word, no more not knowing where my life would be spent, no more scary roads, only people who loved me and would take care of me, and two other cat buddies who would be my friends for life, how exciting!!!  

 Once I got bigger they explained to me that it was time to deal with my bandaged leg, I still couldn't feel it and it was still just in the way, after lots of snuggles and cuddles with my awesome caretaker Mariah,  we decided it was time to just take it off.  I was very nervous but she kept making sure I knew that it was going to be okay and that I would feel better after it was all done.  I went back to the humane society which has been like another home to me and they made me nice and comfortable and I fell asleep, and wouldn't you know it?? When I woke up no more leg!!  It felt a little weird at first but it sure didn't take long until I felt back to normal, and no more casts for me!! phew! Finally!!  Mariah then told me once I was feeling better it would be time to go to my forever home, I was sad to leave the place that felt so calm and safe for me, but I also knew my forever family was waiting and was so excited to accept me into their home and their lives forever. ahhhh....FOREVER!
