"My coat is unbelievably smooth !"

I had a wonderful home where I was pampered and treated well all of my life.  I’m still reeling from the shock of being “evicted” due to a stupid strata bylaw forbidding pets.  The humans who lived with me were retired seniors and owned the condo, but it didn’t matter.  Once I was discovered (during a supposed fire inspection) the couple was given only a few days’ notice to get rid of me.  They packed me up and tried to relocate me at the SPCA, Pound, etc. – you know the drill.  Every place we went was full of those pesky little squirmy kittens.  Over and over it was “no space in the inn.” 

My poor “owners” (quote-unquote) found themselves considering drastic measures which I can’t even bear to share with you.  Anyway, luckily a nice veterinarian was worried about my future (or whether I even had one!) and suggested they call Cat’s Cradle.  Well, they were full too and have a policy not to take “owner surrenders”.  It was touch-and-go for awhile because they can’t keep making exceptions when they are at capacity. 

At this point I played the frail homeless senior and they took pity on me.  It took me a week or two to adjust and I hissed at them a lot in those early days.  Now I’m familiar with them and enjoy being petted and like to sleep on the bed.  I greet my foster mom at the bedroom door and look forward to our nights together.  I like sleeping at the corner of the foot of the bed.  During the day when I’m alone I like to sleep at the top of the bed and lean on the pillow. 

I would be perfect for someone who is away at work all day as I do nap a fair amount and I’m not needy.  You can pick me up a little bit once I know you, but mostly I just like a small amount of petting now and then and to hang out in the room with you.  I will be friendly to your human guests but I don’t want to deal with a feline roommate this late in the game, so I simply must have the humans all to myself.

When you pet my back just in front of my tail I move my back legs up and down in a little dance because that feels really good.  I have a beautiful face and I’m self-confident and gentle.  I have a good foster home so I don’t need one of those.  However, my goal is to find a permanent home where I can live out my many remaining senior years.  I insist on Fancy Feast and some crunchies but otherwise I’m low maintenance.  I am very, very good about my litter box.  Not much more to say – I’m gorgeous with a sweet disposition, so what more could anyone want?

I just hate the flash bulbs !"

"It's a little depressing that someone with my class got evicted from my home !"

"Now remember that the camera always adds a few pounds !"
