This day dedicated to giving thanks for the abundance in our lives reminds me to be thankful for my people. 

Without the love and persistence of these two humans, I wouldn’t be alive today.

Because I was a non-socialized stray (deaf to boot), and was deemed too much work to salvage, I was scheduled for euthanasia (compassionate killing).

Angel’s sister heard of this and brought me to her house.  I didn’t want to be a part of this household at the time.  I wanted to be left alone to wander the countryside and live the only way I knew how – alone and afraid.  But it was all I knew.

Now I know there is a much better life for kitties out there. 

I am proof!

Hulk pointing at birds

Just yesterday, Hulk purchased TWO Reddi-Whip containers for me – TWO.  Even Angel was surprised.  I knew all the extra attention I paid to him would pay off.  He can’t resist my cute tilting of the head with a tiny little meow and a paw on his knee.  He is putty in my paws!

I am thankful for his capitulation, without his OK I wouldn’t be living with Angel and Hulk, surrounded by abundance.

I don’t have to spend the days out in the cold and starve any more.  In fact, I have my own bed, my own blanket, my own toys, self-watering dish, self-feeding crunchie bowl and my own window perch (a specially purchased antique bench in front of the kitchen nook window that overlooks the back yard).

I even have my own carrier to go to the pet doctor (though this is not necessarily a plus in my book).

I am truly thankful for all that I have.  I just can’t let my people see this too much or else I won’t be able to control them the way I do.  So this is just between you and me…

Remember to be thankful for the good things in YOUR life – we all have something we can be thankful for.

Cats Rule!

Cats Rule!

I have to admit, since I’m deaf deer gun hunting doesn’t bother me too much.

What does bother me is the fact that Hulk is gone all day, and when he comes back he has strange, exotic and sometimes interesting smells on him.

This has prompted me to rub against his legs more and beg for petting.

One trick I’ve learned just in the last day or two – if he’s putting his shoes on or looks like he plans to leave the house, I’ll rub against his legs and reach out a paw or two to touch his leg.  Combine that with a tiny little meow and it works wonders…it can actually stall his leaving. 

Then when I have his attention, I jump on his lap and rub my head along his hand.  This usually gets me a treat or two, as well.

Am I good or what?

I haven’t had a chance to write to you all for a while.  I guess there wasn’t much on my mind! (haha)

I wanted to let you all know that Angel (my person) is trying to help stop animal cruelty, in conjunction with The Humane Society. 

She loves animals and wants every one to live a long, happy and healthy life.

Please help by contributing to the “Stop the Cruelty” Campaign – you can visit her volunteer web page and make a donation there

Go to: www.stopthecruelty.org        and enter her volunteer ID# 20880249

Even a dollar would help these poor animals. 

I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found a warm, loving and doting home.  They pretty much treat me like a princess (of course, they should – I am, after all, ME) and make sure I’m well-fed and healthy, get enough exercise to keep my muscles sleek and my coat silky, and love me to pieces (sometimes MORE than I am willing to accept).

Cassey - my new "cousin"

I want to introduce you to another lucky gal – my new “cousin” Cassey.  She is the newest member of another loving home who adore animals. 

Isn’t she cute?  (…for a d-o-g)

Her people are Angel’s niece and her family.  They just lost a dear friend, Tootsie.  While Cassey isn’t Tootsie and can never replace Tootsie’s memory, Cassey will make her own happy memories and be forever embedded in her people’s hearts.

Good luck to you, Cassey!
