I lost a life today .

Here I am just turned 1 years old a couple of weeks ago and I lost a life already. Ok, I owe a life of mine to my momma because she saved me.

Technically, it was momma's fault. Not mine. (Cat's remember do not accept fault, always blame the humans)

It was a lovely morning and I was in the kitchen. I have this favorite spot that I just love nap in. It's on top of the kitchen cabinets. Momma gets really upset when I go up there because I'm not allowed to go on the counters but she doesn't realize that I don't touch the counter I actually am climbing on the bakers rack next to the counter. MOL.

So here I was, laying there minding my own business when momma walked into the kitchen. She saw me up on the cabinet and looked right at me and said '' who's that handsome boy up there'' - Momma always calls me handsome and I get really excited when she does.

Momma kept talking to me and saying ''what a handsome boy I am'' - well, all of a sudden, I couldn't contain my excitement anymore and I do what I always do when she says that to me - I roll over!! (note to self: do not roll over on top of a cabinet)

Next minute, I was in momma arms. She caught me! I was rolling in the air and landed right in momma's arms. I just looked at her like ''what's going on, how you did reach me'' - and then I realized what happened.

Momma gave me tons of cuddles and said to me ''that's why you shouldn't go up there you silly kitty.''

I owe momma tons of kitty cuddles for saving me. She really is a good human.

As for me, I haven't learnt my lesson. I still go up on the cabinets.

Few of My Favorite Things

Its been a couple of days since my last post. I guess thats because I've been so busy making new friends on Twitter and the rest of the time napping.

I guess you can call me a spoiled kitty. I don't mind being called that because it's true. I get tons of love and my humans seem to think the world revolves around me. I do give just as much love back to them to let them know how much I appreciate them adopting me and for given me this great house to play in.

It made me think about a few of my favorite things. Some of these I'm going to be empawrassed to say but hey, we are friends, I know you won't make fun of me.

CRATE: I love my crate. My humans brought me home in my crate and they have always left it out for me to go in anytime I wanted. Its my own little pad. I decorated it with a big pillow and blanket that I dragged in when I was a kitten.

BLANKET: Yes, I have a blankie. Actually I have two! A blue one and a purple one. My humans got me a blankie because I was always taken theirs off their bed and dragging it around the house. So now I have my own that I drag around and put it where I want to lay down.

DOG: I'm the only pet in the house but I have my own pet dog. Humans got it for me at Christmas time. He is stuffed (whatever that means) and wags his tail with a bell on it. Don't laugh, he is my friend. He was really much bigger than I when we got him and I used to carry him around in my mouth. He got kinda heavy at times so my mummy human tied a rope to him and now I just drag him everywhere when I want to play with him. He even can fit in my crate with me when I want to take a nap.

CHICKEN: Easter time came and I got a little baby yellow chicken. Not real, I told you that I am the only pet. He made little chirping sounds but I didn't like him when he chirped. I quickly learnt how to break the chirper and now I love him. He doesn't scare me anymore. He is real cute. Fits right in my mouth and I carry him everywhere. He is great to play with too cause he is so light I can throw him in the air and catch him or bat him around on the ground. I almost didn't get him cause human daddy said I had ''way to many toys'' and that I didn't ''need another stuff animal'' but human mommy bought it anyways.

MICE: Ok, I've lost count how many toy mice I have. I know there has to be atleast 50 in this house somewhere. I'm good at hiding things. I was actually banned from buying anymore. The staff person at the petstore said I didn't need anymore, pfft to him, I still got them.

SPRINGS:OMG, these are the best things in the world! I love these plastic springs. They come in great colors and I get so excited playing with them. They are everywhere around the house and they don't hurt humans feet when they step on them, like the mice.

Ok, I could go on and on. I have tons of pingpong balls, I have a stuffed turtle, stuffed bear, stuffed dog bone (it came with my plush bed) Combs! I love combs. I love to carry combs around and then scratch myself with them. It's great! Plus we can't forget my boxes! I love when humans bring home boxes for me.

I also have a leash/lead. It's bright neon green. It's ok. At times I don't mind it and then other times I don't want to wear it. Right now I wear the lead when I go outside. I don't know the area as we are new here. Sometimes they take it off of me.

So, those are a few of my favorite things. I have tons more but these are they ones that I daily love and enjoy.

Oh ya, all time fav: BATHROOM SINK! Shhhh, but don't tell the humans.


PS: was not happy that I was awaken from my nap for a photo shoot. I do not take good pics when surprised like that. (hiss)

Hey, pay attention I'm telling you about me!

Now that I have your attention...geesh, humans really do seem to get distracted easily.

I was born in July 2008. My mom couldn't handle raising 4 boys on her own so she had to give us up to the local shelter. The animal rescue here makes sure that all animals get a loving home.

We didn't have names yet, so the shelter gave us names, and since humans think they are so creative when it comes to names - we ended up being named after turtles! How intelligent is that? Don't humans know the difference between turtles and cats? Anyway, my name then became Michelangelo. At least I got the coolest name of all 4 as my brothers got stuck with Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo.

I was the runt of the litter. Much smaller than my brothers. I was also fluffy while my brothers had short fur. I sometimes wonder if I even had the same daddy because I really looked different from them.

There were tons of kittens at the shelter and they use to let us out of our cages and run freely in the store. Most of the kittens would play together but for me, I used to run and explore and sometimes cause some mischief.

Humans always came in to see us. Little humans use to chase me around the store, I really didn't like that as I wasn't sure what they wanted from me.

One day these two humans came into the store and I was sitting there in my cage and they kept looking at me. I had no idea what their problem was. I decided to walk up to them and press my nose against the cold crate. Next minute they were petting me and I really liked that. I was then allowed to come out of the cage to visit them.

I climb right up onto the man's shoulder and just sat there looking around. It was really interesting up here as I've never see the store from this height. I was really comfy so I decided to lay down right there on his shoulder. He walked all around the store with me laying on his shoulder and it was great!

I don't know what I did wrong but after an hour of being with them they left. I just watched them from the window and then they disappeared. More humans came in but I just kept thinking about these two.

The next morning I was running around the store again and all of a sudden I was picked up from behind. I didn't know what was happening to me. I turned around and it was them! They came back. I climbed right back up on his shoulder and sat there. They were talking with the other humans about adoption but I didn't know what that word meant. Then the store human told me that I now have a new mommy and daddy and that I can go home with them on Friday.

They took my picture (that's they one you see on this page) and then left again. I couldn't wait till Friday, even though I didn't know what Friday was I knew that I was going to see them again.

I left my brothers that day, I don't know what happened to them but the store human told my new mommy and daddy that they got adopted too, so I was really happy cause that meant they too had a shoulder to climb on!

Ok, so that's my story of how I found these humans and got adopted. Have you thought about going to your local shelter and seeing if there are any kittens or cats that might like your shoulder too? Go on now, take a drive down there. You will make some kitty just like me very very happy.
