Hi-ya! You might say I'm a kitty that has moved up in life! I was born somewhere in England and after a couple of years I found myself living on a parking lot outside a big factory. This was in the fall of 1999 (or autumn as we say in the UK) and it was rainy and cold and I was starving. Some nice people gave me leftovers from their lunchboxes but still I was very skinny. Then one very rainy evening a fellow picked me up and took me home. Of course I was frightened, but the people in the house were nice and gave me good food, so I decided to stay. They tried to find my former owners but with no success,

Me and my hu-sister Ida.
Normally I'm not a lap-cat,
but sometimes it's OK

They took me to the vet who told them that I was a neutered boy of about 2-3 years old. So somebody had owned me, I wonder what happened to them...? Well, I decided to stay and things were pretty good.
Then one day they put me in a cage and I had no idea of what was going to happen. I had to stay in that cage for a long time and it was very noisy around me and I was rather scared most of the time. When I finally was let out I was in a new house with two dogs and another cat and the humans wished me welcome to America! From the Midlands in the UK to a Chicago suburb, that's quite a step for a little kitty like me!!

So, here I am - in America - doing my best trying to adjust to my new life and to Conrad, Molly and Findus-the-other-
Cat! In the beginning, I admit, I was very scared of them, but then I decided to show them who I am so now I do my best to take over the house. The dogs are pretty much under control by now, but Findus and I still have some discussing to do. I try to be good and keep my claws to myself.
