Pepper the New Cat

I recently was lucky to have found a very nice lady and man who feed me and pet me and are very nice to me. They have two dogs named Rio and Chance who come outside. They like me, too.

Inside the house are 3 cats, Blaze (the head cat), Star Noir (who once lived outside like me) and big, orange Dax. Dax and I are friends and he runs outside sometimes to see me.

I am moving into the house with all of them and am getting to know the 2 female cats a little better. The head cat, Blaze, has recommended some things that I will need as a new house cat.

I have been to the Vet before, but it was quite a while ago. The humans there gave me shots and medicine. Blaze Cat says that I must not bring fleas or worms into the house, so the lady must take me back to the vet. Mistress Blaze Cat runs a tight ship!

Each of the house cats have their own carrier and bed. Mylady put a carrier with a bed in it on the screen porch for me to sleep in when I first was learning to be a house cat. At night she would lock the cat door into the house and let me come onto the porch where it is warm. They put what they call a heater there when it's cold outside.

Dax and I made friends a while ago when he kept running out of the house and playing hide and go seek with Mylady. He seemed to enjoy this game much more than she did. Once I made friends with Blaze and Star Noir, the lady unlocked the cat door so that I could go inside if I wanted to. Dax showed me how to work the door.

I'm still trying to figure out this one. The indoor cats have boxes with dirt like stuff in them where they dig a hole to do their business. Then a little while later, the box makes a funny noise and digs the soil into a smaller box. Then Mylady takes it outside and dumps it in the bushes. There is perfectly good dirt and a box that doesn't make noise on the porch that I use.

All in all, I like living in a house, but I still like to go outside when the weather is nice. Sometimes I get to go out with 2nd Chance and Rio, but I have to come back in when they do. Dax is jealous because he doesn't get to go out often. If he wouldn't make Mylady chase him all over the place, he'd probably get to go out more often.

I am happy here, but I sometimes remember my friends in the old place where I lived after the big storm, Katrina. I wonder if they have found forever homes. Mylady says that there are organizations that help kitties like us and they need donations from good 2-leggeds so they can help more of our kind and dogs, too.

We are donating any money (what ever that is) that we make from this page to these organizations. Maybe you'd like to donate a little more?
