It's my "Gotcha Day" Anniversary!

December 26 is my "Gotcha Day"! On this day in 2001 mom and the Pottingers/Prices went to PetSmart in Shawnee and picked me. Actually I am pretty sure I picked mom to take me home but I'll let her think she picked me. Anyhoo, I was a Christmas present from the Pottingers/Prices. They were smart and got a gift certificate so that mom could choose me. Too many times people try to choose a pet as a gift for someone. It's much better when the hooman recieving the gift gets to choose their forever friend!

 

Mom doesn't have any pics of me when I was a kitty because well... the world wasn't quite digital then like it is now. Mom had some actual pictures of me from my younger days but they were lost in the fire last year. But mom does have some digital pics of me pre-fire and moving forward. Some pics are below. It's been an adventure. I am so glad I survived the fire and am still here. I even have a new sisfur!

 

Here are some pics of me pre-fire:

Aren't I a handsome kitty??? Mom always called me a "pretty kitty".



I have always liked boxes! But what kitty doesn't?





This was brofur Cosmo who passed away in the fire.



Brofur Cosmo and I hanging out in our favorite spot in the old apartment.





I loved getting in the laundry!

Yep. laundry's done!





I love bags!

 

And here are some pics post-fire up to today...

 



Day after the fire. I'm at the emergency vet where I spent 3 days receiving care.





First day in new apartment after the fire.

 



Ouch! I was still in pain for about a week after the fire. Mom did good giving me meds and helping me heal.





I still have my earz in this pic!



This is me several months after the fire. My earz are half gone and the fur hasn't returned on my nose but Ize otherwise a happy healthy kitty!

 



This is my new sisfur Mia. her "Gotcha Day" is November 1, 2013.





This is me today (12/26/2013). As you can see I am still a handsome kitty!



 

Thanks again to everyone who helped me and mom after the fire. I am a lucky kitty! 2012 was a tough year because of the fire and 2013 was an even tougher year for mom personally. I am praying for mom that 2014 is our best year yet! Happy Holidays everyone! May 2014 bring joy and many new memories to treasure!

This weeks featured furry is Quentin

Mom spent some time at Wayside Waifs with Quentin this week. He is a domestic shorthair, approximately 2 years old. Quentin was found by animal control after collapsing by the side of the road on a hot summer day. Lucky for Quentin he was brought to Wayside Waifs where the vets were able to get him cooled down. He's now a healthy boy looking for his new forever home! Quentin does get overstimulated easy so he will need a very special human who will go slowly with him and not expect too much out of him right away. When he meets new people, he sometimes get scared and wants to hide in the back of his kennel. Sometimes he will even hiss, but it's not because he's mean, it's because he is scared! Once he learns to trust you, though, he's a sweet boy who loves attention. His personality is that of a private investigator because he likes to watch things from a distance before getting involved. Below is a video of Quentin taking a spin on the exercise wheel used at Wayside Waifs for cats who can use the stimulation.

 

 

 

If you are looking for a special boy to adopt, come meet Quentin at Wayside Waifs!
