Furever Friday: Rosie and Blossom

I’m sooooo happy that it’s Furever Friday again.  I was lucky enough to have a couple more pals tell me their furever stories.  This week I am most proud to bring you the story of the the adorable ladies behind PiddleandPurr. 

I feels I must warn you… Their story might make your eyes leak a little, so you might ask your human to get you a tissue before you read it.

=^..^=

We are piddleandpurr on Twitter, but that is our alias!  Our real names are Rosie (gray with beautiful black stripes which are ever so elegant) and Blossom (black and white tuxedo – can’t get much more elegant than a tuxedo).    


Do you remember your life before finding your forever home? 

Rosie:


Nope not so much.  I know I looks like our furry mom and that she was found in the ally behind the knit shop in our small town.  The lady who own da shop let Mom come inside cuz she was going to has da babies. 


Blossom:


Mom liked dat, cause she speshully liked ALL da boootimus yarns – she would take da balls of pretty threads and puts dem on top of da shelves way high up – she liked to hide dem for later.  Den she had us right there in all dat yarn — we played and played and played.   


Rosie:


Not such a glamorous story, but as fings turned out – it was a sweet happening.  We was born on April 8^th, 2004 - da very same day our would be forever Poppa went to Heaven.  SO you see, we was born to fill dat great big hole in Momma’s heart. 

Blossom:
..... we does a fine job too.  
 
How did you find your forever home?

Rosie:


Well, our forever momma came into shop a couple weeks later to buy yarn.  Her heart was breaking and her eyes were leaking and she told da knit shop lady dat she fawt she would get a kitty to love. 


Blossom:


Dat knit shop lady was very smart and hugged her and said she had exactly what she needed.  But she would have to wait for a few weeks.   


Rosie:


In the meantime, our soon to be momma, went home and started getting ready for a kitty – she bought carrier (I hate that thing); toys, food, blankie and other stuffs. 

Blossom:
Little did she know dat her very good friend would talk her into bringing TWO kitties home wif her – ha!  Her friend knew it would take 8 paws to fill da hole in her heart cuz it was too big for just one kitty to handle. 


Rosie:


Eight weeks later, Momma go to shop to get da kitties – we had 2 brofers too, but dems was spoken for — she gathered us up in da carrier and her life not been boring since – teehee. 


Blossom:


When she get home wif us, all da neighbors came to see da kitties cuz dems glad to see momma smiling again.  Wez climbed on everyfing and when it was time for bed, I hid in da sofa – Momma turned da sofa upside down trying to find me – I finally hopped out and not scared anymore. 


Rosie:


Da  neighbors brought prezzies to us - one even knitted blankies for us - pink wif white for me and white wif pink for Blossom.


What’s your favorite thing about your forever home? 


What not to love at our forever home?   

Rosie:
Momma don’t fuss when I brings little critters to her to play wif – I never hurts dem, just bring dem in, hop in da baftub and let them go.  THEN da fun begins — I chases it around da tub and Momma squeals and chases both me and da critter.  She usually catches da critter in a towel and take it back outside.  She never let me keep it in da house — I doesn’t knows why.  I never bring in da snakey – just chipmunks, mousies, baby birdies and bunnies.   


Another fing is dat I has pearls.   I wears dem when I has to go to da VET.  Momma finks ladies should always looks da very bestest and besides, one never knows if a handsome mancat is at vet too. 
At 6:30 every morning, I jumps off da bed and gets in the sink in da bafroom and meow loudly til Momma comes, turns on da water.  Den I washes my face and paws while she put on her makeup.  If I good girl, Momma put a little make up on my cheeks too — puuuurrrrrr, I just love it that we gots a girly home. 

Blossom:
First let me say, I HATE DEMS PEARLS — I would rather be catching froggies, climbing on top of the fridge, walking across da puter keyboard, unplugging the puter modem, stalking Shadow, da big black dog next door, getting totally inside  Momma’s pillow case when she sleeping, using da pansy flower bed for my bafroom (it smell good)  - I love da garden.   


I likes to get on top of Momma in da early morning and open her eyes wif my paws.  I sit there and purr, give her headbutts and open her eyes.  I has to remind her it brekky time — she always get me nom noms when I ask.   


I like it when Rosie not in house and me and Momma snuggle and cuddle.  I never biteys Momma, I always very kind to our friends and let dem give me belly scratches.  Dems brings me lots of nip cause I JUST LOVE IT.  I always show dem how much I loves it – I get into it as soon as they gives it to me – so glad Rosie is busy wif other stuff, cause I don’t share my nip wif anybody.  I’m da boss of da house – just ask Rosie, I has to thwock her sometimes when she is sassy. 


Our favorite fing about our forever home is our Momma – she so trainable! 

=^..^=

*Wips leaky eyes with paw…*  I think my heart just melted! 


What a great furever story.  Thank you so much Rosie and Blossom for sharing it with us.  Furiends, if you haven’t met these two sweet Georgia peaches, I recommends you go to twitter ASAP and introduce yourself.  It will be a win/win, trust me.


Thanks for stopping by!

Furever Friday: AbbyDaTabby

YAY!  It’s time for another addition for another addition of Furever Friday.  This week, I have the pleasure to introduce a very PURRDY/BEAUTIFUL/ADORABLE girl kitty.  My furiends, meet the LOVELY AbbyDaTabby.  Purr purr purr … …

Do you remember any about your life before finding you forever home?

I’m afraid I have self-induced amnesia when it comes to my life before my forever home. All I know is, I was about 3 months old and already on death row at animal control when da Mum walked in.

How did you find your forever home?

It was my last day and da clock was ticking and she read da card on da front of my cage and then cuddled me and it was a done deal. I must have known it was my last day because I let her cuddle me. It’s about da only time I haven’t minded being cuddled! (Da Mum finks it was probably my catitude dat made someone dump me. Her nickname for me is “Devil Cat” because I can do a Jekyll & Hyde imitation in a split second. I have even been banned from da VET because I am so much trouble! Luckily, I have calmed down a bit in my old age.) Da animal control people told da Mum that I would be scared when I reached my new home but dey got it wrong – I ruled da household from day one, as you can see in da pikshur dat was taken about ten minutes after I got dere!

My little sister Chloe remembers a bit more about her early life. She was a tiny kitten, livin in da bushes wif her mom an brofur an one day she managed to get into an office building an was so scared dat she wormed her way into da workings of a water fountain an hid in dere for several days and refused to come out. Den a kind lady got a trap from da humane society and put some food in it and Chloe couldn’t resist it. Da Mum had heard about it and offered to take Chloe in and she came to live wif us. Unlike me, she WAS scared for a long time but gradually da Mum gained her trust and now dey are inseparable. She always hides from strangers though, so sometimes people think she doesn’t exist!

What’s your favorite thing about your adoptive family?

There are many favourite things about livin wif da Mum. Firstly, we love da fact dat we are loved and cared for and safe. Den we like da hundreds of toy mouses dat da Mum keeps trippin over and complainin about. Den dere are all da yummy treats she gives us and da snuggly places to take naps and da birdie feeder dat is stuck on da window and provides entertainment for us all day long. But mostly we just love da Mum because she loves us and saved us…

=^..^=

*Swoon* I love a girl with cattitude! Sigh… Thank you so much Abby for sharing your story.  Kudos to your Mum too, for rescuing you (and Chloe)!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Furever Friday: Shiva and Jaya

There are so many cool kitties in the twitterverse, that it’s hard to get to know them all, but today I want to introduce you to a couple of sweet catlebrities from the UK.   My friends Shiva and Jaya don’t limit themselves to twitter though, they also share a YouTube channel and a brand new bloggie too!  So here we go…

Do you remember any about your life before finding you forever home?

Darkness, darkness. At first there was nothing but darkness.  And painful sharp thingies hurting our little cub bodies. We were dumped in a glass recycle bin very soon after we were born. We don't know who did this to us. To cut a long meow short, we think somebody heard us meowing and called the cops. We were rescued and brought to a shelter that specializes in neglected kittens and puppies. At the shelter, we experienced a lot of health problems. The vet came to see us every day. We stayed there for 3 months until we were strong enough for adoption. I, Jaya, had an ear infection when I grew up here at home. Last year I had an ear polyp removed. I've been 100% healthy since. And I, Shiva, have cerebellar hypoplasia. It's a mild form. I think it's fun! Just this morning I jumped off the table (guilty conscience) and I landed BOOM in the splits position! MOL!

How did you find your forever home?

Mom's kitty Nala had gone to RB and she was very upset. She didn't want a new kitty, but her mom and stepdad found us through a newspaper ad. Secretly, they came to see us, made pictures of us and showed them to mom. They said that we had meowed that we really wanted mom to take care of us. Then she said yes. We arrived at Christmas Eve, 2007. There was no Christmas tree to climb in, but there was a loving mom. She was still sort of depressed after the loss of her other kitty and didn't know how to love us. It took us a few hours to grow on her and find a way to comfort her. Now we're inseperable!

What’s your favorite thing about your adoptive family?

What we like the most about mom is that she's a boring nerd! MOL! She works four days from 9 to 5 (Mon-Thu) and when she's not at work, she's with us. Nerd means that she studies a lot. She allows us to help her study. We're with her when she does her tough fitness work-outs. We watch movies together. We read books together. We go online together. We cook together. We always make rice-based meals because we're an Indian trio. Nothing can tear us apart! 

The only thing we don't do together is sleep. Why not? I, Jaya, snore like a fat pig. And I, Shiva, like to jump on and off the bed all night long. MOL! Mom also likes to travel. When she's gone, we stay with her mom and stepdad. They have two kitties themselves with whom we like to play a lot. Fortunately, they stay here with us, too every once in a while. The best thing, of course, is that we rule this place. After we were elected Purrime Ministerettes, we have more rights and we can be more demanding! Mom knows who's boss here! We're the happiest rescue kitties coming out of the darkness inside of the glass bin stepping into the limelight of Purrime Ministerettecy!

=^..^=

Well, there you have it. No wonder they’re my favorite pair! Hehe  Seriously, Shiva and Jaya are as sweet as can be and if you don’t know them purrsonally you are missing out.  So head on over to twitter and introduce yourself now… Do it. Hehe

Thank you, Shiva and Jaya, for sharing your story.  I am so glad you have such a great furever home!

Thanks for stopping by!
