September 15th
I’m sitting on as a pulley and were able to get the basket just a couple of feet below my level. I feel so scared that I cannot even move a muscle. They have got to get the basket closer to me!
above me. Now they can get the basket right to where I am.
During this time they each came and checked me out separately while the other one was playing with the other inmates in the private room. Being a cat with principles, I did not even look at them. I just sat down with my back turned to the room and continued to watch the lobby. It is not that I am rude; I just do not like “apple polishing”.
After a while the couple appeared in front of my cage. They were reading my info card and talking in a language that I had never heard before. Here I deserve some credit; it did not take long for me to learn Turkish. Take my female human for example. She has been in the
Then I joined their family, and all three of us have been living together since then. We had many good and some not–so–good days in the past year; most of which you already know. But overall we are all very happy. I love them and they ADORE me. I am working on my timidness and I think I have gotten a little better. I sometimes show up when there are guests around. And hey I even go out and spend some time on our deck. I even chased two squirrels past summer. Biggest thrill of my life. I was running on grass!
I know it is not typical of me to write so much in a post but today is our anniversary. Thanks for reading and supporting my blog, which wouldn’t have existed without its readers.
Love to all

P.S. Special love and thanks for Koko, Kelly, Kelly, and Hanna.
I am lying down like this just because of the heat in the last couple of days. My male human wants to turn the A/C on but the female one insists on keeping the doors and windows open and feel the summer. So she keeps us miserable like this.
By looking at the photo you may think that I am on vacation but quiet the contrary, I'm working hard. My female human is preparing for an upcoming show, so as her private art critic I have a lot of things to do, which doesn't leave much time for blogging. I keep an eye on your blog and Koko’s though.

My humans are still thinking about whether or not they are going to let me out. My female human wants me to have outside experience and she thinks I am going to get a chance to meet other cats. But my male human thinks that my timidness and my slight smell problem could be a problem if they let me go.
I hope my female human wins the argument, then I will get the chance of meeting other cats and have some fun!
Even though I know them only from the photos and the stories my humans tell, I'm sure they're great guys. I would like to visit them one day, buy you know cats, I just can't stand such a long flight.
I am trying my best to get some attention but my human looks so busy to play. I really do not understand what can be more important then playing?
Well... Here is my good old play buddy…

Ode to the cat
There was something wrong
with the animals:
their tails were too long and they had
unfortunate heads.
Then they started coming together,
little by little
fitting together to make a landscape,
developing birthmarks, grace, pep.
But the cat,
only the cat
turned out finished,
and proud:
born in a state of total completion,
it sticks to itself and knows exactly what it wants.
Men would like to be fish or fowl,
Snakes would rather have wings,
And dogs are would-be lions.
Engineers want to be poets,
Flies emulate swallows,
And poets try hard to act like flies.
But the cat
wants nothing more than to be a cat,
and every cat is pure cat
from its whiskers to its tail,
from sixth sense to squirming rat,
from nighttime to its golden eyes.

I am so happy to see such a performance this time of the year :3
