My first real post...

Fremont, Ca- where I was born... I know a lot of people wonder how a stray kitten with no one ended up on the web with a loving family! Well, I must say since the day I was born I knew what I wanted, and I was determined to get it. I have the kind of determination that is rare- the kind that is so strong that I eventually will reach my goals.


Yes, I was born to a cat-mother who abandoned me and I was left to fend for myself. It was a hard life. I was born May 1st in 2000 and for the first 4 months of my life I lived in a condo complex and slept outside, left to find food for myself and lived with no affection- as well as with fleas and earmites. Luckily a person in the complex took pity on me and the other stray cats and would feed us canned food whenever he could. But, it was scary- especially at night and I was always on edge. Deep inside I knew I wasn't a feral cat at heart and I wanted more than the life I had... but I didn't know any other life so I went through the motions and did what I could to survive. All that changed one August evening...

I was walking around when suddenly a human girl was walking really fast to one of the condo's and scared me. I was very skittish being that my life was hard, and ran into a daisy bush. The girl knelt down and let me smell her hand. I looked up at her and the feeling I felt can only be described as that of knowing with her is where I belonged. She quickly pet me and started to walk into the condo. I knew I couldn't let her just leave so I took a deep breath and ran after her. It was unlike me to do that, but I did, and when she saw I followed her she laughed. She smiled when I tried to walk in the condo with her and luckily for me, she stayed outside with me. She sat down on the ground and pet me. Eventually I crawled in her lap while she pet me. No one had ever treated me with so much love and I purred until I feel asleep. By this time it turned to night. Her older sister told her she had to go inside. I knew she didn't want to leave me, but she had to go inside... I slept at the door waiting for her all night. In the morning I ran after her when she left. I couldn't believe she was gone... I was depressed for three whole days. Then as I was scurrying along the condo complex I heard her. She was calling out for me... she just called me kitty then, but I knew she was talking to me! I ran up to her, and finally she picked me up and took me home! Her home was across the street and she had made a bed for me out of a blanket. I immediately went to it and feel asleep. That moment was my favorite moment... I was completely happy.


Ever since then I have never wanted to go back outside and completly adopted my life as an indoor cat. I have never for a moment been ungrateful for the life I was given and for my Mommy. I appreciate everything and try to be the best cat I can be. I am eternally grateful to have my Mommy who I love more than life it's self. I am part siamese and everyone knows Siamese are one-person cats. I am attacted to my mom and trust her completly. I also love my other family- my sister Hannah (who is a golden reciever who is in Heaven now), my brother Harley (a golden reciever- he is my younger brother), my Auntie Lindsey, my Grandma and Grandpa. Oh yeah, and my cousin, Hercules the westie dog.
