Woohoo! We Gets Yellow Treats!

I was not such a very good kitteh this weekend.

I bited Mom on the hand, and then I brokeded one of the keys on her laptop, and she never found it again.

She e-mailed Dad to let him know, because she was worried maybe I ated the key. And you know what Dad said?

He said, "Well, we could dissect him to find out." Dad thought that was funny. Now, does you think that was funny? At all?

No, I didn't think so.

And then Dad found out that Me and Cheddar peed in his suitcase so's he would remember us next time he went away.

And he was very unhappy with us, and didn't even make unfunny jokes for a while!

Which is why we were extra happy to get our yellow swappy gifts today from Mis Allie Cat! We wrote a little about it over on Swap N' Tails, but we gotses lots of stuff! And Mom had already forgiven us, so she let us play wif it all. AND she gots some neat stuff, too!

Thanks, Miz Allie Cat!

Who Are Dese Orangey Kittehs, Anyway?

Once, we were just two scared little kittens, clinging to our mother. We must have been very poor, because we weren't very clean or healthy and we had (this is so embarrassing) worms and stuff. We lived day-to-day, and we both remember being very hungry, all the time.

It seemed like we were barely old enough to walk when we were taken away from our mother and brought to a strange place, with lots of other cats (and big scary dogs!). We didn't know why, or what we had done. This place became known to us only as the Shelter.

So, there we were: at the Shelter, in a cage, cuddled together, keeping our spirits up and waiting for a chance to escape, not knowing what else to do, when a surprising new face came to see us.

She smiled at us, and looked us over without poking her fingers in our faces. She made sure our itchy ears were cleaned and those embarrassing worms were taken care of. And she didn't put us back into the cage.

Instead, she took us to a new, totally different place. A place where we have lots of food to eat and fresh water to drink. A place where there's always clean litter. Where there are toys to chase and soft places to sleep.

And we learned a new word.

That word is, "Home."

We are Colby and Cheddar. And this is our story.
