Welcome Winnie

Antonio was a tux and was 17 when he passed. Ascot was another tux and he was 20 when he passed. Rachael was a faded calico she was 18 and Boo was 10. I'm not sure of Bud's age, he's a battleship grey.

Arwen was about 4 1/2 when she suddenly died. That hard on us. She was a tux.

My oldest kitty was probably Shadow. She was a brown tabby and must have been 17 or 18. Our youngest was Gateway. He was a cow spot baby and passed when he was about 11 from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Ascot was twenty. His was the hardest loss.

Winnie here. It is warm outside, so I have been sleeping a lot. When I'm not sleeping, I am practicing my drama. My meowmy calls me a drama queen. I'll show her...

Winnie

Winnie,
That's great, just don't over do it. I overdid the drama thing one time and ended up seeing Dr. Izzy. Bud

Oh meow! If she takes me to the Doctor, I will definitely have a drama attack.

Winnie

MOL!! I do that with the techs, they are not impressed with my acting abilities. Bud

Winnie, my hooman gave the title Drama Queen after I became tamed. That was about 20 years ago. I always get dramatic.

Tortie

A little drama is good for the staff. it reminds them whose in charge. Bud

She says she is unimpressed and that I am too dramatic. I need to work on that. She is a stubborn student.

Winnie

I showed up feral, dramatic and loud. My caddy was worried about me living outside and I made it inside.

Tortie

Does Winnie have any stories to share?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know?

Hi friends. Sorry I have been gone for so long. My meowmy and caddy are doing all kinds of strange things, and I had to go in the CAR this week. They say that people are looking at our house and we should not be here. I'm insulted! I will be hiding and staying from now on.

They also say that I might get a new house, but I don't know why I need one. This one is where I like to be. I don't know what all this fuss is about.

Winnie

That's sad about having to leave your home but your parents are right staying there with strangers is not a good idea. Food Lady

Hi, Winnie. the new house may be fun. I didn't think I would like our new place. But it's nice with a balcony so I can get fresh air and watch birds. Bud

My meowmy said she might get me a hutch. I'm not sure what that is, but she says it will have little hide-y places I can go and shelves that I can sit on to watch birds. I might like a hutch.

Winnie

It sounds like fun. You can enjoy the outdoors and be safe inside at the same time.

I hope some birds and squirrels can come into it so I can play with them. MOL

Winnie

No, the birds and squirrels can't get in. Still it will be nice. You can still see and talk to them. Food Lady

I really like watching birds. Before I went to the shelter, I used to chase them to help feed my babies. I am glad I do not need to catch my foods now. It just comes in a nice bowl for me.

Winnie

I know how you feel. Having to catch your own food is hard and I know how you must have felt not being able to feed your babies. I love this life. Bud

Me too, Bud. I loved my babies but I am glad I do not have babies any more. I can yell at my brother and my doggie. I can carry my toys when I want to pretend like I have babies again. But, I do not need to catch food and I do not need to protect them from scary things. I say this is the best kitty life.

Winnie

It is. At one point I had a home but I don't know what happened. Now I have Food Lady and the good life. Bud
