Photo Hunt: Anniversary

September 11, 2010 By: Sparkle Cat39 Comments

The end of next month is the eighth anniversary of the day my human kidnapped me from the breeder and brought me home. I was born in a little down in the southern part of California called Temecula.

Honestly, I don't think I ever saw that sign.

I had met my human and her boyfriend a couple of weeks earlier and played with them, but I had no idea that they were going to come back and take me away from my brother and sisters! It was a two-hour car drive to get to my new home — I think this is where my hatred of car rides began.

I was beyond freaked out! Can you tell?

The first thing I did when I got there was hide under the desk my human had at the time.

I bet you can't see me!

It took me a while to get comfortable, but eventually I realized that I actually ruled the house. After that, I never looked back.

And you ARE getting me a 6-foot-tall cat tree, right?

    Sparkle you were a very cute kittie – no wonder you were chosen by your servants to rule them with an iron paw.
    Congrats on winning the Best Cat Blog.

    Sparkle, we came by to congratulate you on winning the Pettie for Best Cat Blog. (We watched the video.) Guess your mom is floating on air right now. You won and she can bask in the glory. So nice of you to share it with her and to write her acceptance speech. Keep up the good blogging.

    Oh Sparkle! You were such a cute kitten! Of course your Mom came back & kidnapped you–how could she resist? She didn’t realize she was setting herself up for a lifetime of servitude, ha ha ha ha!

    Mommy is all amazed and squeeing and stuff over your radar-dish ears…they were, um, pretty large!

    Sparkle, you were such a cute kitten!! That’s the one thing our mommy wishes that she had, photos of us as baby cats. She has some of Jonah (from his previous mommy) and they’re so funny. She can hardly believe it was really him. He had really big ears like you did, before he grew into them! 🙂

    Sparkle, you do look apprehensive there in the car! What a sweet kitten you were. My Mom and Dad had an Aby many years ago, and the same breeder also had some Somalis, but no kittens at the time.
