4/18/09In March 2008 I was surprised by my Mom. She said she was going to give me a cat for a very early birthday present. My birthday isn't until June. We went to The Bay Area Humane Society. There wasn't many cats there. It didn't look promising. To get a cat after Baby died we thought was a good thing. Backie our other cat was getting into trouble.
Then I seen this tiny white & orange kitten. He was as cute as a button. He has orange eyebrows & a orange furry belly-button. When we seen him his name was Harrison. It didn't fit him. I renamed him Pooky after the teddy bear off of the Garfield comic strip because Pooky the Bear was so cute and so was this kitten.
As I was filling to the paperwork another man wanted to fill the same paperwork I was for the same cat. Thank goodness I started that paperwork else he would have gone to someone else! I can't think of him in another home other than ours!
When we got him he was still a little thin and had a cold. When we went to pick him up from the vet he was shaking. Mom thought he was scared but I told her he was purring so much he was shaking and he was doing just that. He grew up & now that small kitten is now a big twelve and a half pound cat. He is fat and very sassy. Just the way God intended him to be.

The week after Blackie died we decided to get another cat to be by Pooky. We wanted to get one that was spayed/neutered & declawed. I thought we would never find one at Petsmart Adoption Days. I thought there was no way.
4/21/09
I prayed after Blackie died for a cat to take her place. She was a "at home" PTSD Service Cat. She helped me with my flashbacks and nightmares. She had to be a "at home" because she loved me & Mom but she was a very good judge of charitor. Just like my Uncle George & Aunt Cini. They could tell who had a good charitor for the ones who had bad charitor. When someone had bad charitor came she hissed and growled. She didn't like children either. Sometimes even tried to nip. Back to the story.I thought in my life I just had Pooky & Odie but God had other plans.
Pooky is one of a kind. He is the watchman of the house. I remember when I couldn't find Odie. I looked everywhere. Then I said "Pooky help me find Odie." the next time I find Pooky he is on my bed sitting. He's trying to tell me something. Odie is under the covers!! He also is the furry alarm clock. He wakes up my Mom almost every morning. If not him it would be Odie. Odie is the backup.
Odie is so cute. It seem almost every single day Odie comes in when I take a shower. He meows a lot until I pet him. If he don't get petted he will put up his one paw. It is so cute. He will sit on the toilet until I'm done with my shower. He truely is a lover boy.

GG & Pooky was so cute tonight!!! They sat in the same chair together. They never did that before except for tonight. A brother and sister supporting each other with love. The way life should be.

Every time Odie sits on my lap her seems to amaze me. When he first got him he wouldn't sit on your laps at all. Being in a new home I understand why. After all he was shot in the leg with an arrow. That is what the Fox Vally Humane Association told us.

I went to the first tent. Nothing. The second tent. Nothing. The third and final tent I seen and orange & white cat with a failure tail. It looked like Pooky's tail! He was spayed/neutered (which ever one it is) & declawed. Perfect! What happened next melted my heart and sealed the deal. He put his nose on my nose. The people at there told me someone shot this wonderful cat's back leg with an arrow. They showed me the mark that had healed over. Both me and the worker agreed this person should be shot in the leg.
His name at The Fox Vally Humane Association was Charlie. I even picked on Charlie our bus driver that he was there. I changed his name though. I changed it to Odie. Garfield's and Jon's most loyal companion in the comics. He is that to us. I also gave him a nickname the day we got him. It is lover boy and it fits him even to this day.

Back to the story.I thought in my life I just had Pooky & Odie but God had other plans.
I got a knock on the door one day. It was our neighbor downstairs. He works at a golf course & he found a little tiny kitten all by herself. I repeated to mom over and over again "we don't need another cat". I was wrong.
When I seen that thin under nourished kitten I said "awe' & that was it. She, at first, didn't go in the kitty litter. She just went outside.
This cat ruled the apartment the minute she walked in the door. I named her GG short for Garfield's Girl because if Garfield had any kittens she would be her kitten and the apple of his eye. That name fit perfectly.
I would layed her on my pillow next to me. The second night she was on the pillow next to me. I had an nightmare & she without any training woke me up from my nightmare by pawing me up like she was petting me. Between what she did that night and the point she did her duty (#1 & #2) inside in the kitty litter and outside I thought I would make her into a service cat.
I trained her in obedience, checked the guidelines by the ADA (America's with Disabilities Act). Not too long after that she came with me the first time. Everyone loves her & I love her too. Oh I forgot to tell you she was meant to be with us. Her tail matches Odie's and Pooky's. Totally Amazing!!

I cannot do this blog without telling you about Blackie & Baby. Blackie I got from a breeder. Her Persians & half tiger ahhh. You can figure it out. They made Blackie. She is a lucky girl, along with Baby who has never been in a shelter or hungry. She was one of a kind. She really only knew me, Mom & Baby. She really didn't like anyone else except for Steve the maintenance buy. I remember right before she died Steve came over to fix something & when Mom said "Blackie Steve's here!" I never seen her move so fast in her life.

I never seen her move so fast in her life.
Baby I got on my birthday. Blackie didn't like Baby at first. Blackie would be under the sofa hissing at this tiny, runt of the little kitten but as time went on they where friends. She was a yoga cat & a loud mouth. they way she would lay on the floor stretched out like a person doing yoga would. She also was the furry alarm clock. She would wake us up with her huge meow at one in the morning to be petted & six in the morning to be fed. Baby died on October 22, 2007 of a brain tumor. She was almost six and a half months.
After Baby died Blackie got depressed. She lost 2 pounds in less than a year. We came home one night she couldn't go without limping. we where worried. I slept by her favorite bed all night. The next morning it just touching her hurt. My heart acked so badly. This was my angel cat. We where so close. I loved her with all my heart
She died of a blood clot, a fever & an enlarged heart on September 6, 2008. We had her die on the same blanket Baby died on almost a year before. To me she died of a broken heart. She missed Baby so badly. Now at least Baby and Blackie are in heaven together and I know we are going to be together again someday.
GG is so great. When Mom was passed out one time GG was trying to wake her up by pawing her like she did to me the second night I had her when I had a nightmare. She also was by me when I got sick with my asthma. I was sitting there coughing. she sat next to me. She knows what she is doing!!!

I don't mean bleeding, or leaving a mark just enough to get her attention. Also Pooky has great hearing. even with my door closed he can hear me move around. He, by sitting by my door alerts Mom I am awake.
GG & Pooky was so cute tonight!!! They sat in the same chair together. They never did that before except for tonight. A brother and sister supporting each other with love. The way life should be.5/2/09Every time Odie sits on my lap her seems to amaze me. When he first got him he wouldn't sit on your laps at all. Being in a new home I understand why. After all he was shot in the leg with an arrow. That is what the Fox Vally Humane Association told us.
Tonight he was so cute. He has these eyes that are so kind and loving that it makes me happy that I want to cry. He truely is a sensitive soul and a lover boy. I keep on telling him that if he was a man I would marry him. He lased his head on my chest and feel asleep listening to my heartbeat.
GG is something. She hardly meows all day but when I wake up in the middle of the night when she is on my bed I hear this huge meow. She wants to be petted. I pet her and go back to sleep
Pooky scared the crap out of us the other night. We heard this huge bang that made me come out looking for what happened. We thought he fell off trying to jump on the refrigerator. We woke up the next morning to find that our converter box & antenna on the floor in the back of the TV. It seems his whole life is to get into trouble & teaching GG to do the same.

I know I wouldn't get anything done so I did the next best thing. I played with him. I took my knitting needle & played with him.
Tonight Mom was sleeping & Odie sat on the same pillow. Odie did the same thing for me. I moved my head & that pulled my hair but he is sooo cute. He loves to be close to us. He really loves to be loved. We call him two nicknames. Love boy & sensitive soul. Those both fit him perfectly.
5/10/09Pooky is a bag boy. He loves to go in bags & lay in them for a long time. Every time we come home with groceries he has to be in the bag. I like to laugh at him for doing that. Then Odie tries to sit on the bag sometimes with Pooky in them. It seems Odie thinks Pooky is invisible in the bag even though his tail is sitting outside the bag Crazy cats.
GG is amazing. I felt like crap last night. I somewhat still today but anyway GG with no prompting she came & layed on my bed until Mom decided to lay by me because I was so bad.

Pooky really is the watchman. GG is under the covers & Pooky is looking for her.
I still remember Blackie & Baby. Blackie didn't say one peep until Baby came. She was the loud mouth. Blackie's meows where so tiny you had to strain to here. Baby on the other hand could wake you up from a dead sleep. That cat had a big mouth. Sometimes bigger than mine.

Odie lays in some weard places. On Mom's backpack, on GG's service cat stuff. He is so crazy. He also likes to sit in the laundry basket with dirty laundry in it. You would think the stench of the dirty clothes keeps him away but it don't. Maybe his nose don't work. Who knows.
Pooky is something special. He just sat down in front of me trying to play with my thread. He sat on my new black jeans. White cat black jeans. Reminds me of Blackie and Baby.

5/16/09 Odie is sure is something. He likes the tub unless you start the water then he runs like lightning.

Baby had her thing Blackie had hers. If you try to read or write or play a game she would lay on it. If Blackie was here and was the by the president she would sit on the bill he wanted to sign into law. I hope she won't sit on the book of life when God wants to read it.

5/19/09GG is something. She has us whipped into shape like Odie and Pooky does too. this cat has Mom really whipped. Mom will be sitting in her recliner. Then GG will come up and sit by her little by little will kick her out of her recliner. we even had to bring in our lawn chairs for Mom to sit on. When GG wants the lawn chairs Mom sits on the recliner. When GG sits in the recliner she sits in the lawn chairs. GG's house, GG rules.
This is all for now. God Bless You and Your Cats In Your Life!!!
