Happy Gotcha Day to Me!!
That’s right! Today’s my Gotcha Day!!
Five years ago today, I became an Island Cat.
My mom was looking to adopt a black cat since black cats have a hard time being adopted, and she saw this ad for me on Petfinder.com.
Yeah, that’s right…my name was Mister at the shelter. I don’t think that’s a very flattering picture of me (check out those frootbats!), but my mom thought I looked cute and she wanted to meet me.
This is a picture of me the first time I met my mom! I know it was my big feets that won her over!! And boy am I glad! I got the bestest home!!
So, c’mon!! It’s time to party!!!
The nip
the mousies
and the greenies
are on me!!!

Happy Gotcha Day, Ernie! I will be right over to dive into the nip and play with the mousies. I love Greenies, too. I’ll ask Emma if she wants to come along, now that she is out of her room.

You were such a cute baby, but you have matured into a very handsome mancat. And we think your current name is much better than Mister. Happy Gotcha Day and may you have many more!

Our Mom, er, Caretaker LOVES your big feets!!! She has a soft spot in her heart for polys!! I’m a poly too (Nico) – Two of my brothers, Tigger & Tobey, who are at the bridge were polys too!! Tobey even had paws shaped like yours – she thinks they look like cute mittens!
PAWESOME Party!! We’re gonna take turns diving into that big ol’ vat of nip!! …& then fight when we start feeling fuzzy!! MOL!!
Have a great weekend!
