      My 
      mom says that I followed her home in her arms.  
      It catches people off guard then they laugh.  
      What really happened was...  
      She was going for one of her daily walks in the 
      graveyard and  
      I pranced right up to her and talked for a bit and 
      gradually I would  
      walk with her. Sometimes her walks would be in the 
      morning in  
      the dark. I would scamper around and run to meet up 
      with her as  
      she returned to the entrance then follow her home.  
      If I missed walking with her I'd 
      be waiting at her house. 
      She fed me and put water out for me and when she went 
      into the  
      house I would lay at the door then one day...    
      I found myself in a box and to a place where there were 
      other  
      kitties and dogs. I was to get my combo test 
      (Felv & Feline Aids)  
      and get neutered.    
      From there she brought me HOME 
      around 1:00. I was INSIDE!  
      I didn't really feel too well 
      because of the anesthesia. I was 
      very groggy   
      and 
      unbalanced and I spit at her anytime she touched me.
       
      She kept
      me upstairs with my 
      own food, water and litter.   
      The others were kept 
      downstairs. I slept under the chair in
      the   
      
      bedroom and she slept on the floor with
      me.    
      The next day I felt much better but still stayed 
      under the chair so  
      
      she just layed on the 
      floor and petted me a bit. By
      now I was singing  
      and rolling on my 
      back. She had the other kitties come up bit by 
      bit   
      and thought it might go well as
      I stood my ground with   
      a growl and they'd 
      skitter off. 
      The 
      other kitties would get me surrounded but I 
      persevered. I would  
       wiggle my butt and pounce
      at kitty. She just looked at me like
      I was crazy.   
      Bonnie's been a little prissy about 
      the whole thing, whining and   
      complaining. Peter wasn't
      crazy about another male in the house   
      and let me 
      know by growling and spitting and Obsidian talks,  
      talks, talks, telling all about the 
      new-comer.   
      I 
      am a clean cat as I constantly wash.
      I was staying upstairs most of   
      the time 
      and would be plunked in the upstairs litter box  and  
      
      I learned quickly how to use it so she then plunked me 
      into another  
      
      one she had downstairs and eventually removed the one upstairs.  
      
      The others had a bit of a time allowing 
      me to use it but all worked out well.   
      Now, I have full run of 
      the house. I want so much to play with the  
      other kitties so I chase 
      them and jump at them but I think they're 
       just too mature 
      for that sort of behavior. They just spit and growl  
      at me so I find other 
      things to try and keep me occupied like  
      chasing my tail and 
      sliding on the kitchen floor into the cupboards.    
      I think things will work 
      out just fine here. I'm still trying to get use  
      to being picked up and 
      molested by my new mom but for now  
      I'll pretend I don't 
      like it and continue to growl and spit.
