Zoey-upclose

Hey everybuddy!  Y’know what??  Tomorrow is my Gotcha Day!!  It’s been 5 whole years since I stepped foot in that cage trap the lady with the yellow hair put out to catch me.  I sure wasn’t happy at the time…but I sure am happy now!  I can hardly even remember what it was like living on the outside not knowing what, when and where my next meal would be.  I like being FORMERLY feral and I love being an Island Cat!  If you want to read more about how I got gotted, you can click HERE and read my 1st Gotcha Day post.

Here’s just a few things that I love about being an Island Cat…

  1. My platform…where I can sit and watch what’s going on in the ‘hood
  2. My cat tree that I can climb…
  3. And practice my acrobats
  4. Sitting on the Guy’s legs
  5. My snake toy
  6. My Hidey Hole
  7. My nip nanner
  8. The Turbo Tracker
  9. And best of all…my hammick!!

The lady with the yellow hair says we can start my Gotcha Day celebration today and go all the way through tomorrow!  So come celebrate with me!!  Because being gotted is the BESTEST thing to be!!

  10. Zoey, we think gotcha days are way more special than birthdays! You can count on us to get the party started early and keep it going. A little secret…Nigel says that he thinks you are beautiful…and he was gotted in a cage too…and he was scared….and he is happy now too…

    We have some baby nip growing in our garden so we’ve brought some to share for everyone at the celebration!

  53. Well, well, well! How fast the years do fly! Congratuations, and a very happy Gotcha Day to you, Zoey! It sounds like you’re going to have a wonderful, extended weekend celebration!
    We all have different Gotcha Days, but mom doesn’t remember what they are. Instead, she assigned us presumed purrthday dates, so we celebrate those, instead. MOL
    Thanks very much for stopping by our bloggie and leaving good wishes for Dad’s health. Much appreciated.
