MY GOTCHA DAY.....

TODAY MAY 11, 2011, I'M CELEBRATING MY

9TH YEAR OF COMING TO LIVE WITH

MOM AND DAD!!!

WE THANK

SAMMY, ANDY AND SHELLY'S MAMA J, 

for MAKING THIS VERY PRETTY

GOTCHA BADGE.  Do you see the cute Lady Bug?

May 11, 2002, was the Saturday before Mother's Day
(Mom says I'm the gift that keeps on giving, MOL)

Mom and Dad had been without a kitty for nearly 2.5 years and their life was dull, boring and absolutely no fun...that is until they saw a little ball of gray and white fur who did not know the meaning of no and who tested every nerve in their bodies for the first 9 months.  Below is a picture of dynamite me and my

littermate Lucy (who was adopted by Dad's brother). As you can see from this picture, both of us had serious cat-a-tude.

This picture was taken on May 19, 2002.  We were 2.5 months old

Lucy was a calico

  Lucy was a rebel rouser too.  When she was about 1, she ate a penny.  It got blocked in her intestines requiring major surgery by a very funny Vet.  When the surgery was over,

he told her Dad the surgery was usually 600.00 green papers; however, since he had the penny he would only charge him $599.99.  MOL  Lucy recovered nicely from the surgery. Her Dad bought a piggy bank for his pennies.  Dad's brother got married when Lucy was nearly 3.  However, his wife had severe allergies to kitties. After being apart for 3 years, Lucy and I hissed and spit  DID NOT like each other at all.  For this reason, there was no chance of Lucy living with us. We had been only cats for 3 years.  Both of us wanted to be Alpha cat. Lucy went to live with a nice graduate student Mom knew from NCSU.  He later moved to Coll-ie-rado and we lost track of Lucy.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS I, MADI, HAVE REMAINED TRUE TO OUR SISTER PACK....TO KEEP OUR PEEPS ON THEIR TOES 24/7/365.

SINCERELY,

MADI, aka DIVA aka Mads, aka Puddin' Head, aka Pumpkin Face aka DIP-C, DIVA ISLAND PRINCESS CAT
