Hullo. I am a rat an dis is my story, liking it or not.

Mommy still saying all dohws tings all dah time.

Den one nigh mommy sitting on dah chair an I sleeping in her lap an all dohws cats coming back again! All of dem coming in dah room an looking at me. I jus ignoring dem, buh I knowing dey not jus gonna going away. Den dah beeg grey cat, he coming to me an he saying "That One, we need to talk to you." An I jus ignoring him. Den he saying "That One, it's important!" Den I looking at him an I saying "Go away. Leaving me alone!" an I crawling in mommy lap more so he cannah looking my face.

Now I looking dat cat an I saying "Impor'an? What so impor'an?" Den dat cat, she saying "We are all mommy's family and protectors, and she needs protecting.

Den dat cat, she taking a beeg breedthing an saying "I know you do, That One. We all do. Please, just listen." I saying nuhting, I jus staring dem. Damn cats.

One of dah uhder cat, she also whigh a color, buh smaller, she coming to me now an she saying "I'm Calico. When I came to mommy she was very small. She was walking, but still crawling, too. The lady and the man that brought me home to her were supposed to be her mommy and daddy, but I knew something was wrong. They were both very mean. The lady hardly paid any attention to mommy and was always annoyed when she had to take care of her and she wasn't very nice about it. The man was very loud and angry all the time. He was very careless and rough with mommy and he was always fighting with the lady. He would shout and throw things and break things all the time while the lady would scream and cry. Mommy was such a nice and sweet little girl and I knew I had to protect her. I would try to stand in front of mommy and distract her or get her attention and lead her away from them. But the man was very cruel and he did not like me. He would kick me if I was close by. I learned to stay out of his way, but he still kicked me pretty hard a few times and I ultimately died from internal bleeding. Then I woke up like this, just like you, and I stayed with mommy all her life, watching her grow up and protecting her any way I can. Mommy never knew what happened to me. They told her that I ran away from home, because she was mean to me, but that's just not true."

Now a beeg ohrange cat he coming nex to Calico and saying "I'm Zsomle. When I was a kitten someone took me from my mother and siblings and put me in some bushes by the house that mommy was living in and a few minutes later, when mommy walked by on her way home from playing, she heard me crying and found me. She was a little bigger now, but still very small. She scooped me up and cuddled and kissed me and took me home right away. She was living with the same mean lady that brought Calico home, but a different man who was also really mean, too. When mommy brought me home she was immediately told no, she could not keep me. Mommy whined and begged a little, but NO! So mommy took me outside and worried about what would happen to me if she left me in the bushes alone. She had a friend at the time. Not a very nice girl, but she had cats and she gave mommy some cat food and told mommy to hide me somewhere. Mommy thought this was a great idea and snuck me into the wooden fenced walkway on the side of the house where she found a couple of big boxes beside garbage cans. Mommy put me in one of the boxes with a towel, some cat food, some milk, and some water, and closed the lid. The next morning she could hear me crying so she climbed out of her bedroom window, which was right next to my box, to check on me and feed me and cuddle and kiss me before school, and she did this for a couple days until the mean lady and the mean man found me." 

Now I saying "Uh oh." An den Zsomle, he saying "First mommy was in trouble, and then surprisingly they decided to let her keep me, but only in her room. I was not allowed in the house. So I stayed with mommy in her room and she pet me and played with me and carried me around in her teeth like my mama kitty used to do. She wanted me to know that she was my mommy now and I loved her. But the mean man would come into mommy's bedroom at night and start touching mommy wrong while she was sleeping and mommy would wake up screaming and wet the bed scared and the mean man would run out of her room before she ever saw him, but I saw him. Mommy was scared and she didn't know what was happening. I knew what was happening and I knew I had to protect her. So when the mean man came into Mommy's room while she was sleeping again I stood on the bed between them and hissed, and then I would lay on mommy's back or tummy and whip my tail while watching him until he would leave. If he tried to shoo me or touch mommy I would hiss and growl and swipe at him. He finally stopped coming into mommy's room and for a couple of years mommy slept safe and sound. But then one day, without warning, the mean lady took me to the vet and I was put to sleep. I woke up like this and made my way back home and found Calico waiting for me. When mommy came home she couldn't find me and the mean lady told her that they had decided to sell the house and move, and they were not going to take me with them. Mommy was sad that I was gone, but she never knew what really happened to me. Me and Calico have stayed with mommy all this time, loving and protecting her any way we can."

Wahw. I tinking about all dohws tings an den two more cat coming to me, a black one an ahnudder ohrange one, smaller cats dey ahr, too, buh still beeg cats. Dah black one, he saying "I'm Pepper and this is my brother, Tabby. We came to stay with mommy at the new house. Mommy was a little bigger now, but still quite young. It all started when someone was giving away my brothers and sisters and me. Mommy and the mean lady with her own girl baby came to pick us out from the litter. Mommy picked me and the mean lady picked Tabby for her own girl baby and took us home, but when we got there the mean man was not happy about us coming to live with them and banished us to the garage. Mommy came to feed me and play with me every day, but Tabby was only allowed to play with the girl baby." Now Tabby, he saying "Yeah. I didn't care much for the girl baby. She was kind of spoiled and not much fun to play with, but that was the arrangement." Den Pepper, he saying "It wasn't long before mommy wanted to keep me in her room, like Zsomle, and I was allowed a couple of times while Tabby was left in the garage, but then the mean man said NO! And after that we were, both of us, put out of the garage every morning and only let back in at dinner time and for the night. This arrangement wasn't too bad, because we both liked being outside and roaming." Den Tabby saying "Yeah! That was fun! We got to check things out and chase bugs and run around!" An den Pepper, he saying "But there were also dogs in other backyards, so we mostly stayed in our own backyard." 

Now Pepper starring to looking uncomforball an den he saying "One morning the mean man let us out of the garage, but lured us with treats to a shed on the side of the house. He let Tabby go, but he locked me inside and left. I didn't know why I was locked in the shed, but I was in there all day and I thought he would let me out for dinner, but then he didn't, and he didn't come back the next day or the next day or the next day for I don't know how many days or weeks. I was so sad and lonely, and hungry! I cried and cried and cried, but no one could hear me locked in the shed on the side of the house. I could hear mommy coming out into the backyard, calling me and calling me and calling me to come home, but she couldn't hear me crying in the shed on the side of the house." Now Tabby, he saying "Yeah. I would come to the shed and talk to my brother, but I couldn't see a way to get him out. By now the girl baby had grown bored with me, but mommy still came every day and she would feed me and play with me and ask me where Pepper had gone. I didn't know how to tell her. I circled by the side door of the garage and mommy would open it and let me out and I would come right back in, but mommy never followed me out of the garage or I would have led her to the shed." 

Now Pepper, he saying "Finally the mean man let me out for dinner one night and I ran right into the garage and ate and ate and ate. Mommy was so happy! She was smiling and laughing and hugging and kissing me! But then she could see that I had gotten very thin and that I was very weak. She didn't know what happened, but she was worried." Now Tabby, he saying "I was so glad to have my brother back! I kept rubbing against him while we were eating and while we were playing to put on a good show for mommy, and for sure Pepper was glad to be home, too, but I could tell he wasn't well." An den Pepper, he saying "I was put out of the garage again the next morning, but allowed to roam and come in for dinner and to sleep in the garage for a few more nights before the mean man grabbed me and locked me in the shed again. I was still too weak to wrestle free and then it was too late. I never made it out of the shed again. I died there a few days later, hungry and crying."

Now Tabby, he saying "It was the worst! There was nothing I could do! Mommy kept calling for Pepper and sitting with me at dinner. I kept circling the side door of the garage every night, but she never understood. And then, wouldn't you know it, one day the mean man lured me out to the shed, too. I was excited at first, because I thought he was going to let my brother out, but when he opened the door I saw my brother laying there dead, and then suddenly the man struck me on the head with something hard and that was it. I was with my brother again, and Zsomle and Calico. Mommy never knew what happened. As far as she knew both me and my brother had just wandered off and never come home, but she never really believed that either, because she knew us too well." Now Tabby looking at Pepper an den Pepper, he saying "After that the mean man got rid of the shed on the side of the house and buried us both right there where the shed had been and then covered us over with cement, and then, when the cement was still wet, the mean man brought mommy to the side of the house to put her hand print and initials in the cement, right there where he buried us. He was smirking over her shoulder. She had no idea." 

Now Zsomle, he coming to me again an he saying "After that the mean man started going into mommy's bedroom at night again. He would be wearing nothing but teeny underwear and stood over her like that and started touching her wrong while she was sleeping. Mommy would wake up scared and back into the corner of her bed against the wall like a cat and scream "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Go away! Fuck you!" An now Pepper, he saying "I suddenly understood everything and I knew we had to protect mommy any way we could, but I didn't know what to do, not in this condition. But that creep was just standing there smug and smirking while mommy screamed and of course the mean lady was not coming to help. The mean lady never came to help mommy. We had to do something! Then I just reacted. We had all been sleeping on Mommy's bed when the mean man came into her room, so I just jumped up between them and started hissing and growling and whipping my tail!" Now Zsomle an Tabby saying "Yeah! We all did!" An Calico, she saying "Yeah! And I lunged and swiped at him, too!" Now Pepper, he laughing at dat an he saying "I don't know how, but it worked! The mean man suddenly looked startled and quickly turned and left the room!" Buh den Tabby, he saying "Yeah, but that mean man kept coming back, and he wasn't the only one that was touching mommy wrong. We have seen a lot of bad stuff happen to mommy, and we always protect mommy any way we can, but there is still only so much we can do."

Den Calico, she saying "That is true, but we always stay with mommy and see her through. Mommy was always a good girl and she grew up to become a good and smart and strong lady. She always stands up for herself and always leaves all the bad people behind. I like to think that mommy feels strength in our presence." Now all dah cats saying "Yeah! That's right! Yeah!" An den Calico saying "So when the same thing kept happening every night, and the mean lady wouldn't listen and didn't' care, mommy was a brave girl and told people at the school and then the mean man had to leave the house. After that the mean lady was only more mean, because she had to take mommy and her own girl baby and move away into a new house. But the real trouble was that the mean man followed them and was always lurking and watching mommy. He even opened a small shop just a few blocks away from mommy's school and the mean lady would let him come to the new house even though mommy had a restraining order. We were always on the look out!" Now I saying "Oh, no! Poor mommy! All dohws bad people! Good ting she having you!"

Den ahnudur cat coming to me. He all whigh, an dah long face an dah long hair an dah grey looking eyebrow mahr aroun he ears an dah blue eyes, an he saying "Hello. I'm Gazerlp." Now I laughing what kine of name is dat, buh den he looking at me real sharp an I be quieh, an den he saying "The mean lady brought me home to the new house. I was supposed to be a new kitten for mommy, but the mean lady picked me out herself, because she wanted a cat that she thought looked high class and fancy." An now I saying " Yaw, yur ahr very hansom cat. Yur ahr looking like me, too. Ha!" Now Gazerlp, he looking at me real sharp again an I be quieh an Gazerlp, he saying "Mommy was a little older now. She was becoming a teenager. And though she was quite fond of me and I of her, by the time I was grown mommy was always in a hurry to leave the house. She had made some new friends that were a bad influence and not very nice, and in spite of this mommy was still a good and sweet girl. She was just running away from a bad home and the only place to run was into trouble with more bad people. Not that I blame her, but I was left behind. The mean lady fed me and cleaned up after me, but otherwise mostly left me alone and I spent most of my days sitting in the front window, basking in the sun, and watching for mommy to come home." 

Now Gazerlp, he closing he eyes for a mineht an he breedthing deep, an den he opening he eyes again an saying "After a while we moved to the top floor of another house and by this time mommy was hardly ever home at all. When mommy did come home she was like a stranger in the house and always in a hurry to leave. I worried about mommy all the time and watched and waited for her to come home, but I was the only one that did. The mean lady had a new mean boyfriend now and they would say very mean things about mommy all the time. I love mommy, dearly, but even I didn't want her to come home anymore, not to these mean people! I, myself, couldn't stand the mean lady anymore and I didn't like her mean new boyfriend either. I tried to just stay clear of them. So, when the mean new boyfriend said he was "allergic" to me, and the mean lady said she would give me away, I wasn't even upset. I admit that I was a little nervous about my future and worried about mommy, too, but this living arrangement had obviously run its course."

Now Gazerlp, he sighing angry an den saying "Then one day soon after that the mean lady told mommy to come along if she wanted to say goodbye to me when the mean lady gave me away, so mommy came along to take me to my new home, but when it was time to get out of the car and take me inside the mean lady told mommy that she couldn't come inside and to stay in the car, and then she grabbed me in my carrier and walked away before mommy could ever even say goodbye. I could see mommy through the holes of my carrier. She was sitting in the car looking sad and angry. I felt the same way. I don't like the mean lady. Nonetheless, the mean lady took me inside my new home and the new mean lady loved me right away. My new home was nice and comfortable enough, and I was cared for, but I was worshiped too much, so I was always restless and never really content. Still, life just went on and on, and I just got older and older, and then one day I fell asleep and woke up like this, and I have to say that I was actually glad when it was all finally over, glad to meet my new family, and to stay with mommy and protect her any way I can."

All dah cats is quieh now, an ahnuder cat coming now an rubbing her head wit Gazerlp head. She a smaller cat like Calico, buh she long hair like Gazerlp, an all grey an dah uhder colors, an she having dah kittens wit her, too. An now she saying "Hi. I'm Pee." Now I saying "Like peepee?! Was yur a bad girl?! Sometime I doing dah peepee and mommy getting mad, too." An Pee, she saying "No, like Pretty. I was named by a girl baby that couldn't pronounce the word Pretty. She called me Pee." Now I saying "Oh. Ok. Das ok den." Now Pee, she saying "Mommy brought me home a couple years later, after Gazerlp. She was still a young teenager, but she had moved out from the mean lady and was living in a small apartment with a couple of her mean friends. Mommy had gone to visit a mean married couple with two small children who were friends with some of her mean friends. I had been living with this mean married couple and their children and they wanted to give me away. The mean married couple said I was too much for them with two small children, and I didn't mind at all really, because the house was so full of so much junk and trash that I was always getting lost and stepped on, and they didn't always feed me either. Mommy wasn't sure that she would be able to take care of me, but she didn't want to leave me there either, so she took me home. The friends that mommy was living with were bad people, very mean and very hostile and even violent. Mommy was so good and sweet, but also very hurt and angry. I knew mommy needed protecting, but I was scared, too, so I was glad to keep mommy company, but mostly stayed out of the way when the others were around, which after a while wasn't too often, fortunately." 

Now I scare for mommy an I lissening very har. An now Pee, she saying "We moved out of there as soon as we could, and moved into another apartment. It was not a very nice place, and unfortunately mommy had another string of bad roommates, one right after the other. But mommy took care of me the best she could and was careful not to let me outside, because I was in heat at the time, but one day when mommy was not home one of the mean new roommates put me outside, just to be mean. Of course there was a tom cat waiting for me, so you know what happened." Now I saying "No. I not knowing. What happen?" Den Pee, she saying "The tom cat grabbed me and forced himself on me and after that I had kittens growing inside of me." Now I saying "Ohhh, nnno." A Pee, she saying "Oh, yes. And when my belly started to show I could see that mommy was worried. I was so young and mommy couldn't take care of me and the kittens. But mommy was a good mommy anyway. She took care of me, and when the day came that the kittens wanted to come out I was so scared that I tried to run away, but mommy got a box and a towel for me, and kept me calm by firmly holding me in the box and gently petting me. Then the kittens started to come and I was freaking out, but mommy just put her hands on my back feet and gently helped me push them all out. I had four, but one didn't live. After all my kittens were out I was still freaking out and I tried to run away again, but mommy gently held me in the box and nudged me to my kittens, and then instinct took over and I started to take care of them. After that my kittens were always with me."

Now I tinking again how much I loving mommy, an I curling in her lap more an kissing her han, an she not knowing dat, buh I feeling very prow of mommy. Den Pee, she saying "When the kittens were a little bigger mommy had to start giving them away. I was sad to see them go, mommy was too, but luckily mommy found homes for all of them. Then mommy needed to move into a new apartment again, with new mean roommates, and mommy was not allowed to have a cat anymore. Mommy loved me and felt so bad for me. I could see it in her sad eyes when she looked at me. I knew something was wrong, and I was scared. Finding homes for my kittens was lucky enough, but mommy didn't know how she would find a home for me. She was worried about it and I worried about it. Then one day one of her other mean friends heard that I needed a new home and agreed to take me. Mommy was so happy and so relieved! So was I! But I really didn't want to leave mommy, and I really, really didn't want to go with her mean friend, and I could see that mommy was still worried and didn't really want to let me go, but we had to part ways all the same."

Pee, she stopping talking and she looking on dah floor like she feeling dah crying, an den Gazerlp, he rubbing he head on Pee head an den she looking at me again an saying "I stayed with this mean friend for a couple days before her dad put me outside and wouldn't let me back in. I didn't know where I was and I had nowhere to go, so I stayed in the yard crying to be let back in. Finally the mean friend's dad came out and grabbed me and threw me into his car. Then we were on the road for a little while and soon he pulled over. When he opened the door I could see that we were far from houses and neighborhoods. We were out where there was nothing but dirt and weeds. Here the mean friend's dad shooed me out of the car and left me. I was so scared and alone and hungry. I wandered around and looked for something to eat and a place to sleep, but there was nothing. Nothing, but dirt and weeds for miles and miles. I chased and caught a mouse, but I let him go. It's not my taste. I'm not like outside cats. I was raised on cat food. So, I just roamed the dirt and weeds under the hot sun for several days thinking about mommy and my kittens, and just got hungrier and weaker until I finally just collapsed. Then I just laid there until I finally fell asleep and woke up like this. It came as a relief, actually, and I was welcomed home by the others, although Gazerlp didn't join us for a couple more years, but my kittens have all come back to me now, too. One by one we have all been united and reunited." Now all dah cats is rubbing dey faces on Pee an each uhder an dah kittens, too, like dey all family loving each uhder. 

All of dah sudden ah small gree an yelloh bird is flying from behind all dah cats an landing on Pee back, rubbing he head on her head, too! An I saying "Where dis bird is coming from?!" Now dat bird is flying to sitting on mommy knee nex to me an he saying "Hi, there. I'm Parakeet. The mean lady brought me home when she took mommy to live in a top floor apartment after Calico died. I lived in a small cage hanging by the front kitchen window for a little while. Mommy was still very small, and so cute and sweet, and I loved singing to her while she played quietly by herself. But I don't think the mean lady liked my singing very much, because one day when mommy was not home the mean lady opened my cage and the front door and shooed me out of the apartment. I flew out and around the building, and then tried to fly right back inside, but the mean lady had closed the door. I sat on the hand rail outside the front kitchen window waiting to be let back in, but the mean lady never opened the door again. After a while it started to get dark and I tried to find a place to hide and sleep in a nearby tree. I wasn't too cold, but I was hungry and alone and scared. When mommy came home she looked for me in my cage, but the mean lady told her that I had gone." 

Now I tinking what I gonna doing if I gotting lock out of mommy house an I scare an I saying "So what ahr yur doing now?!" Den Paraket, he saying "I just stayed in the nearby tree for a few days watching and waiting, and then one day the mean lady carelessly left the door open for a few minutes. Now I saw my chance! I flew right back into the apartment! Mommy saw me and started smiling and laughing as I flew around the room and then held onto the outside of my cage until the mean lady opened it for me so I could climb back inside. I was very glad to be home and watching mommy and singing, but it didn't last long. One day, when mommy wasn't home again, the mean lady opened my cage and the front door and shooed me out again, but this time she was careful not to leave the front door open again. I ended up staying in the nearby tree, watching and waiting for my chance again, until one day I fell asleep and woke up like this. I loved mommy and I knew the mean lady could not be trusted to protect her, so I stayed with mommy watching over her from above. I saw Calico there, too, but I kept my distance, because, you know, cats. And then later Zsomle, Pepper and Tabby, Pee and then Gazerlp came, too. But it was when I saw Pee with her kittens that I took a liking to her right away. Her kittens were so small and she was so gentle with them that I finally decided to introduce myself to the cats, and they have been very kind to me." Now Calico, she saying "I always knew Parakeet was hanging around. I was there and I saw what happened. I told the others, too, and we all saw him hanging around, but we all understood that Parakeet was probably a little nervous, because we are all cats, and we all agreed that Parakeet would join us when he was ready, and when Pee joined us we were all glad to finally welcome Parakeet, too." Now Parakeet, he star flying all aroun dah room an singing dah happy liddle bird song an all dah cats laughing, an me too, I laughing wit dem too.

Now dah uhder whigh an color cat, not Calico, buh dah firs one, now she coming to me again and she saying "Hi, That One. I'm Lydia. I came to mommy a couple years after Pee, when mommy was just becoming a woman from a teenager, and I was mommy's only family for ten years. Mommy had moved away from all her mean friends and made new mean friends, and was again living with a roommate who was not very nice. The roommate adopted a big cat from a shelter, his name was Louie and he was a nice cat, but he stayed with the roommate, and he is still loyal to her. Mommy decided to bring home a kitten for herself, and after asking around she heard about the people that me and my siblings and our mother were staying. Mommy came to see us with a few of her new mean friends. All of them sat in a circle while my brothers were wrestling and showing off in the middle. I was the only girl, and the runt, and I was sitting off to the side, bored. I saw all the people there and what was going on and I wasn't interested in the show and play. But when I saw mommy I liked her right away. Mommy was so nice and sweet, not like the others, so I yawned and stumbled over to mommy and crawled into her lap and went to sleep. Well, mommy just fell in love with me right away and carried me all the way home cupped in her hands, and we quickly became best friends, bloopers and all. Mommy always had a good sense of humour. I like that."

Now Lydia, she jumping up on dah chair wit me an mommy and she laying nex to me by mommy feet. I loving mommy feet all dah time an Lydia, she was feeling comforball, too, so den she saying "Soon mommy and me moved far away from all her new mean friends, but now mommy became independent and we lived alone. Of course mommy made more new mean friends. Mommy was always moving and making new mean friends. Mommy is so pretty, smart, strong, and funny, and she sings her true heart song. Everyone always wants to be mommy's friend, but no one is ever nice to her. They all smile and laugh and call themselves friends, but then when mommy is not looking they are very, very mean. I knew I needed to protect mommy and so I did the only thing I could. I hissed and growled and swiped at all of them! Everyone! No one liked me and that's ok, because I didn't like anybody that wanted to be mommy's friend, and I made them stay away from our home as much as possible, but mommy was young and inspired and ambitious, and mommy wanted love. I loved mommy and mommy loved me, too, but mommy wanted human companionship, and she deserved it, too, so she would leave the house and look for that companionship, but mommy was always only betrayed, and only I was always there for her through all her bad boyfriends, friends, occasional roommates, best friends, and tattoos. It really was always mommy and me against the world. I liked it that way and that was really what was good for her, too."

Lydia, she looking sad now an she saying "After several years living far away, mommy and I came back to the place and the people we had left and settled down again, making a new and independent life for herself again, and, after a short and bitter reunion, mommy stopped hanging out with mean friends and just stayed home with me. Mommy was always working on projects and she was fine on her own, but everyone was always trying to make mommy be friends with them, and then they were mean when she politely declined, which just meant mommy was right anyway. Everywhere mommy went people betrayed her, but she always stood her ground and I was proud of her. Then one day mommy went out of town for a few days and had to ask a mean friend to come around and feed me while she was gone. This mean friend was a really mean one and she gave me food that made me sick, and I was sick all over the house. This really mean friend later did the same thing to mommy, too, but when mommy returned from her trip and found me sick all over she was really upset with this mean friend and really worried about me. She cleaned the mess and took care of me, but I wasn't getting better, so she took me to the vet and they gave me medicine, but I still wasn't getting better and then I stopped eating."

Now I saying "Uh oh. Das like what happening to mommy an me, too." Den Lydia, she nodding an saying "Mommy cried and cried when it was finally decided that I would have to be put to sleep. The day that she took me to the vet to be put to sleep was really sad. Mommy was trying not to cry, but she was crying. The vet took me from mommy and brought me back to a room and put me on a table and gave me a shot. After that I was so sleepy and heavy that I couldn't move anymore. Then the vet brought me back to mommy and put me in her arms. I was so heavy that I couldn't even lift my head to look at mommy, so mommy leaned over me and looked at me with her sad and crying eyes and gently petted my face and head. I knew this was going to be goodbye and my heart was crying, but I couldn't even meow to tell mommy that I love her. I was just glad that she was looking into my eyes while I lay in her arms. After that I don't really know what happened, because it just happened really fast. Mommy was holding me and crying and then I just fell asleep. When I woke up I was sitting in mommy's lap, kind of on top of myself. Mommy was crying and crying and I could see myself laying limp in her arms. Then the vet took my limp body away and I went home with mommy. When we got home Calico and Zsomle, Pepper and Tabby, Gazerlp and Pee, and Parakeet were all waiting to welcome me home. It was a really sad day, but I was really glad for the homecoming, and of course I was going to stay with mommy and protect her any way I can."

Now dah beeg grey cat, he coming an jumping on dah chair, too, an he laying nex to Lydia an rubbing he head on her head. Den Lydia, she rubbing her head on dah beeg grey cat head, too, an den she saying "Mommy cried and cried for days and days, and even missed work. Mommy was taking my death really hard and my heart was crying, too, because mommy couldn't see me and feel me curling up next to her anymore, so I tried to make my presence known to her, and sometimes I think she saw me, but only briefly. Then she would stare for a while and whisper to me that she loves me and will always love me, but that there is another place that I can go now, a place that is really good and nice and that I can be really happy and peaceful there, and that it's ok if I want to go, but I don't want to go. Mommy needs me and I want to stay and protect mommy."

Now I sitting up exciehd an saying "Yeah! Me, too! Dah same ting happening wit me an mommy!" Den Lydia, she rubbing me wit her head an I liking dat. Now Lydia, she saying "Then mommy tried to move on, but she cried all the time, because I wasn't there, and then some of mommy's mean friends wanted to hang out again and mommy just wanted to be alone, but some of them were really pushy, so mommy just went along. One of them suggested that mommy get another cat, and I actually thought it was a good idea for mommy to have a living family cat around to protect her, but mommy couldn't stand the idea of looking at another cat. It hurt. But I didn't want her to be alone and unprotected and the others agreed that she needed a new protector, so we all surrounded mommy to make our presence strongly felt by mommy and it worked! She finally decided to adopt another cat from a shelter, and she had a very specific cat in mind, so she set out to find him and when she did, she brought him home."

Now Lydia, she turning an looking at dah beeg grey cat an den dah beeg grey cat, he saying "Hello. I'm Mushu. We've sort of met already." Mushu, he almohs seelver an he have shor hair an long face and beeg yellohy gree eyes. Now Mushu, he saying "I knew when I met mommy and she brought me home that she was a very nice and sweet lady, and I loved her right away, but she was also very sad. Mommy had cleaned everything, but I'm a cat and I could still smell Lydia around the apartment, and coming from a shelter where cats are coming and going and then sometimes just gone, I knew what happened. I really wanted to cheer mommy up, so I made myself right at home. I jumped up onto the couch with mommy and made myself comfortable in her lap, and I was a big cat already, so she really had to make room for me in her lap, and then when mommy cradled me in her arms like a big baby and started petting me I sprawled all out so she would know that I really liked it, and to scratch my belly, too, and I nipped mommy with little love bites when she stopped petting me, so she would know that I always want her affection."

Now I laughing at dat an den Mushu, he saying "Sometimes, if mommy was too busy for me, I would swipe at her feet when she passed me so she would know that I want her to sit down and pay attention to me, but mommy didn't like it when I did that and she would give me a firm scolding, so I stopped doing that. I also showed mommy that I like to play fetch like a dog. One day mommy snapped a little plastic thing across the room and I fetched it and brought it back to her. Mommy liked that and we started playing fetch down her long hallway all the time. Mommy would snap the little plastic thing and I would run and jump into the air and catch it in my mouth, and most of the time I would bring it back and drop it at Mommy's feet, but not always. Sometimes I would run and jump and catch it and then just drop it right there or only bring it part of the way back to mommy, because I wanted her to run around and play with me, too. And oh yeah! I also used to run down the hall and jump up at the front door and look out the peephole. Such a weird place for a little hole, I thought, but mommy got a kick out of that too." Now I saying "Wahw! Yur ahr a cool cat! Yur can doing all dohws tings!" An den Lydia, she looking at Mushu an she saying "Yeah, he really is a cool cat." A den all dah uhder cats saying " Yeah. For sure! He is a really cool cat. What a cat!"

Buh den Mushu, he looking so seeriuhs an he saying "Me and Mommy were just getting settled into a life together and then something happened, and all the mean people got meaner, and then we had to move. Mommy was determined to keep me and take me with her, like she did all those years with Lydia, and she really tried, too, but in the end we had to part ways. People were mean to mommy everywhere we went, and they were mean to me too. We stayed in a motel for about a week and the people came into the room and got into mommy's things when she wasn't there, but I chased them out. Then we sublet an apartment while the person that lived there was supposed to be out of town, but people would sneak in while mommy was out and spray something in my face that would make me go mad for a while. I felt so bad. I would go crazy and attack mommy when she came back, because I couldn't calm myself down, and it made me start wheezing, too. I was under the influence of something bad and I started to develop asthma because of it. Of course mommy understood and she felt really sorry for me. Mommy knew that mean people were doing mean things to me, because mean people were doing mean things to her, too. But all she could do was lock me in a room for a few hours until the madness substance wore off and then, when I started to feel better, she would let me out and I would curl up with her and purr and knead on her and be ok until the next time mommy had to leave me alone, and then someone would do it again. Mommy wouldn't leave me very often, but sometimes she had to and it was just horrible. Then this living arrangement ended and we had to move back to the motel while mommy tried to work something else out for us, but a few days later mommy ran out of money and we had nowhere else to go, so we ended up moving in with the mean man that kicked Calico to death. Not good."

Now Mushu, he stopping talking an looking angry, an Mushu looking scary when he angry, an den he saying "This man was not very nice at all. He was very mean to mommy, but we were at his mercy. Surprisingly, I was allowed to stay in a room with mommy, but sometimes the children of the mean man would come and take the room over and mommy would have to sleep on the couch while I had to stay in the garage, which wasn't bad, because the children were mean and awful, but I was sad and lonely in the garage. Mommy would sit with me in the garage sometimes, but she was expected to spend time with the children, so she obliged. This living arrangement was very contemptuous and hostile, so when mommy came into a little money she first took me to see a vet for some asthma medicine and then we left the mean man's house without saying goodbye and went to stay in another motel inn for a couple of weeks. Of course the people there were also mean to mommy, but they were afraid of me, because I was not friendly to them, so they mostly left me alone. Unfortunately, mommy ran out of money again while she was trying to work out something safer for us and we had to go back to stay with the mean man again, and the mean man was even more mean when we came back, because we had tried to leave and did so without saying goodbye."

Now Mushu, he looking righ at me an he saying "Then one night something happened. When we went to bed mommy fell asleep and couldn't be roused. Soon the mean man creeped into the room, breathing heavily as he often did when he had been drinking, and he leaned over mommy. I didn't know what was going on, but mommy wasn't waking up, so I watched him closely. The mean man started to wrap mommy's phone cord around her neck and mommy started to breathe weirdly. That was it. I jumped up and hissed and growled, and then I lunged and took a swipe at him, and when he jumped back I took my position on the bed between him and mommy. The mean man cursed me under his breath and left the room quickly. I was laying next to mommy when she finally woke up the next morning. She hadn't moved all night and the phone cord was still wrapped around her neck and she was scared. I knew this wasn't good. After that things went from bad to worse. Mommy was scared all the time and she walked on eggshells around the mean man. Mommy was desperate to get us out of there, but we had nowhere else to go and one thing became very clear. Mommy was gonna have to go on the run and she wouldn't be able to take me with her. Mommy cried and cried, because she wanted to keep me with her, but she knew she wouldn't be able to take care of me anymore. Mommy called a few different animal shelters in the area, but none of them would accept me. She was desperate to make sure that I would be ok, but everyone was mean to mommy and it made me resentful, and more than a little nervous about my own fate, too."

Now Mushu, he looking real sad an he saying "Then one day mommy packed me up and put me in the mean man's car, and we drove out to the nearest animal shelter that had refused to take me. Mommy was so sad and crying the whole way, and the mean man just kept saying mean things to her to make her feel bad. I hate that mean man. When we arrived I could tell that mommy was very nervous. She was shaking and trying not to cry. Then she quickly got out of the car and grabbed my carrier and quickly walked to the entrance of the animal shelter and left me there, but not before she looked into my carrier and told me with her soft, sad, crying eyes that she loves me and that she was so sorry. I looked into mommy's eyes and sadly meowed back to her that I love her, too. I knew what was happening. I had been left at an animal shelter before. I loved mommy and I didn't want her to leave me there, but I knew she had to do it. Then she quickly walked back to the mean man's car and they drove away. I watched the car getting farther and farther away until I couldn't see it anymore, and then I just waited for the inevitable. Soon I was discovered and taken in. Mommy had left a note with my carrier regarding my asthma and I was soon taken back for evaluation. It was then determined that with my medical condition and the fact that the animal shelter was already full, I would have to be put to sleep. So, in my life, I had been coming and going from animal shelters, and now, by the end of the day, I was just gone, too. Then I woke up like this and somehow found my way back to mommy where the others were waiting for me, and like the others I was determined to protect mommy any way I can."

Now all dah cats coming aroun me an looking at me, an Parakeet, he coming an looking at me, too. An now Mushu, he saying "So, That One? Will you join us and help protect mommy?" Now I looking at Lydia an she winky blinking at me. Den I looking at mommy an she not even knowing dat we all of us sitting aroun wit her, buh she looking so sad an I loving mommy an I worrying, too.
