Happy Gotcha Day!!!

Yep, a year ago, mom decided to keep the big orange guy and make him a permanent member of the crew.

no, I am not angry. why do you ask?

He has turned into quite the big cat, but is still pretty jumpy. Mom swears that someday she is going to pet him and he is GOING to like it. :) Right now, mom can get within about 3 feet. And the other day she was putting groceries away in the kitchen and she turned around and he was flopped over on the floor on his back. First time she has seen him lay like that. Of course, he moved before she could get the camera.



He was making noise the other day in the dining room and mom got out the video camera. He was stalking one of mom's hair ties (which she picked up when he walked away - don't want anybody eating them).


Oh, and it is mom's birthday too....guess we should wish her happy birthday!!

  9. Happy Gotcha Day Junior!

    Thank you for taking him in and making him part of the family. He'll eventually let you pet him. It took me SIX years to finally be able to pet Katie Lou. She still sometimes runs if I get near her but if she comes to me, I can pet her and even pick her up and hold her.

  11. I don't suppose it was a Tuesday when he flopped on his back. Wouldn't that be funny? If he was volunteering for pictures of his tummy on a Tuesday?

  23. Happy Happy Gotcha Day! The day we bring a kitty into our lives is one of the best days we will ever have.

    Thank you so much for your comforting words about Scooby being well loved. They mean alot, and we bless you for taking the time to stop by to offer them. It will take a long time for the ache to subside, but with the loving help of the CB beside us we know we have friends. Thank you.
