Wow, yesterday’s visit with Gus was sure nice.He is my friend.
We had lots of fun and wrestled, talked and chased but now I am tired. I watched birds, laid in the sunshine and yelled lots when Gus got lost. He got lost many times. Sometimes he was lost and hiding behind my back, where I wasn’t looking.
It was so exciting I had to go to sleep… even today I am still sleeping. I get very tired when Gus visits and plays with me.
I came down from my night sleep this morning and cuddled mommy and daddy. I quickly ate my breakfast; I like food. I followed mommy downstairs to her office and quickly laid in her chair… I will churp and purr when mommy or daddy come by and want to give me pets and cuddles. But mostly, I will take a small break and rest from my fun visit. Today I think is going to be a good day; I will sleep some.

I gave Gus great big hugs when he arrived. He hugged me back and made lots of good Gus noises… and hit me on my head with his front paws. I closed my eyes and fell on top of him and hugged him some more. I think he likes my hugs.
When Gus laid down for too long in my favorite places, I ran and made him move away. He made lots of noises, waved his arms, tried to hit me in the face but he finally left.
We chased each other around the house. We ran very fast. Gus chased me… I chased Gus. I was fastest.
When we finished running, we got to look at the birds and squirrels. We made lots of chatter. The birds and squirrels liked us. We liked looking at them. They were exciting. We had fun. Gus let me sit next to him. He didn’t even yell or hiss or show me his teeth.
When I stand still and let him out of our cuddly kitty heap, he goes fast to my eating place and eats my food for me. I think he is trying to be helpful. He likes my food! It is good food. I like food!
I think she might like me. But my favorite boxes are the ones that they’re using. Those are really awesome. I really like it when Daddy and Mommy play games, because I can take over their box and then they can’t put anything away and have to stay up with me allllllll night! It’s pretty exciting. 
And I discovered that shoe boxes are almost as much fun as toilet paper! I can shred them too. Mommy doesn’t like it when I shred boxes or toilet paper though. I don’t understand it. I think it’s fun! She’s worried about me getting something called a “blockage” again. I don’t remember it, but she says it’s from when I ate styrofoam when I was little. She says I didn’t like it. Well, that’s all for today. I have to go help Mommy do the laundry. I’m a good helper!
It was in October of 2007 that I was found, I was only about 4 months old. I was left out in the cold in South Bend, Indiana. I was being beaten by sticks, and having rocks thrown at me by mean children. I was also being attacked by dogs (and still cannot hear a dog bark without being scared to death). A very nice couple named Jeremy and Miriam took me in. They tried very hard to find my family, but no one seemed to want me. Then one day, we went on a very, very, very long drive. All the way to Colorado. There, I met my new family, who happened to be Jeremy’s little sister, and her husband. (I like them, they’re my favorite) I was very scared for the first few days, but then I saw my new home, where I had my OWN room, many toys, and plenty of food to fill my little belly. They even let me snuggle with them on the bed!!!
My ‘accommodations’ were tolerable, although I never really liked them.
