Adoption until Now

Hello, My name is Charlie and I am a calico cat. I was born and spent the first few years of my life in Rapid City, South Dakota. I lived with Jeff and I was adorable. However, I need to be the center of attention 24/7 and don't care for those creatures called 'dogs' so I moved to Nebraska to live with Jeff's niece Whitney. 

Hello! I'm Whitney and I will be typing up our adventures. I adopted Charlie during Thanksgiving break of 2013 and have had Charlie for about a week and a half. I was very excited to adopt Charlie even though she can be a stinker sometimes. 

I am not a stinker. I am an adorable ball of fluff who likes to eat and doesn't like it when you put my food into tupperware or in other rooms. It's not kind to deny me a full service buffet all day long. 

So how did your tummy feel after you knocked the big tupperware down last night and ate until your heart was content but your tummy wasn't?

If we ignore my little "gift" for you, it was wonderful! 

You mean your "gift" of already been eaten cat food? That was really wonderful. What have you done since then?

I like to meow at 4 or 5 am, sometimes I'm nice and I'll wait for 6am. I need my food first thing in the morning. I like to scratch at the door to be allowed access to the rest of the house, where I can try to add my mark to the house (Gramma is okay with cat hair right?). I also like to jump up onto things- I'm just helping to dust everything, like the kitchen sink, the rafters in the bathroom...

Would you like to tell the rafters story?

You mean when you were getting ready and I jumped up onto the dresser and then to the filing cabinets and then into the unfinished basement rafters? Not particularly. I'd rather talk about my favorite sitting spot in my room. 

Okay, I'll play along, tell everyone about your favorite sitting spot in our room.

I don't know anything about "our" room, I obviously rule the entire house, but to appease the giver of food... In our room there is a red chair that I love to sit on and there is a penguin pillow that has finally achieved the right amount of cat hair and the little turtle is a good cuddle buddy and doesn't fight back when I kick him out of the chair. And the chair is right under a heating vent. It's basically the best spot in my entire queendom.

Is there anything else you'd like to tell your adoring subjects?

Only that I love the attention, and wouldn't say no to any food treats or scratching posts.

Well, Char I'm going to go study so stay out of trouble!
