PRINCESS's STORY

"The Princess Diaries" began about fourteen years ago as emails to cat loving friends. They were stories about Princess's diary, a tabby cat who was born in 1989 when I rescued her. She was about four months old. She was in tune with everything I did or even think, she always amazed me so much, I just had to write about her. After nineteen years with me, she went to the Rainbow Bridge in August of 2008.

The house felt painfully empty after her passing. But I vowed never to replace her. In my heart, she was irreplaceable.
And then I started to see her in my dreams. Suddenly, I remembered one morning that I had seen her back in her healthy form and I was told "she is ready now". I was not sure what that really meant.

Just a couple of days later, I was led to a pet psychic by other people at an Expo event. It was an unplanned, spontaneous occurrence, I had not thought about visiting a pet psychic and did not even have a picture of her that they could use.
Princess' spirit came through the pet psychic who repeated those same words I had heard in the dream: "She is ready" .... to be born again.

How would I find her? How? She said it would be "like a Petsmart, one of those places".

I took it in stride. I still did not want to replace her with any other cat. One day, about 2 months later, I found myself suddenly making a turn off the main road into a Petco I never go to, away from my area. I felt compelled to go in even though I had no other cats to care for. I spotted an adoption fair poster in there... and I heard clearly in my heart and mind the thought that 'you've got to follow up on this - don't let it go'. I did.

I returned for the adoption fair and as I entered, I began to feel like I was in a trance.. I kept looking in cages but could not "feel it". Finally, I came to the end of the cage line and I stood motionless, staring at this tiny tabby baby sleeping on top of a larger orange fluffy kitten. She was less than 2 months old. As I stood there, contemplating my feelings, the orange kitten stood up and came to the front of the cage, reaching out to me with his paw... He let out a meow at me as he saw me take a few steps away, mulling this sight over in my mind. I turned to see this kitten holding out his paw at me, literally meowing for me to come back...

When Princess II came home with Gabriel, she was barely 2 months old. And she knew. She knew all the old tricks and phrases - and she wanted to show me exactly what she knew.
She was born in the same type of body, a tabby.

I could not tell while she was a tiny baby but she grew to have the same type of bow-legged look to her hind legs. She also carried the same fear. Princess was fearful of the scrunchy sound of plastic or paper bags all throughout her life with me, it may have been something that had happened to her in her first 4 months of life before I rescued her. She also had a herniated belly when I found her in 1989. Now this new kitten, as she grew, had a slight protruding feel on the same spot of her belly, although vets did not detect anything 'wrong' with it.

To this day, the new Princess is still fearful of scrunchy bag sounds while no other cat in the household is.
"It's time for beddie bye now", I said when she returned to the house as a two-month old - and on cue, she climbed up the stairs immediately and looked down at me from upstairs for my reaction. I was just floored ...this little kitten responded to a phrase she never heard of before. "Wanna get some 'nummy-num'?" - Yes! She ran to the bowls. This was her first time as a new kitten in the house.

It was a miracle - and we are still living it. It has been now been over 8 years later now since her new incarnation.

Seeing Katie Again




Tonate, eet was a different approach.  Ah usually do nawt bother to schlepp down the stairs when mom's coming in.  Pipi and Ah have pretty much let miss Bella do the evening greetings and then she'll escort mom upstairs and we'll see her dere.  Howevah:  tonate we were all kinda anxious about little minx Katie kitteh becoze we all saw her in the carrier dis mornin and mom took her away.   Not good.  We did hear sometin about "the doctor" though..

So, Ah was pretty much swept into the whole procession, we awl couldn't wait, even mah little Getty was anxious to be there too.   So the door opened and all four of us were right there in front of mom, Getty even walking toward her with her neck all stretched out toward the carrier.  Ah approached carefully and nose-tipped the carrier...Once we realized Katie kitteh was in there, we all followed mom and her in the carrier upstairs.  Mom put it down awn the steps and we awl circled it, trying to talk to Katie kitteh...She was beang veeeery quiet.

Ah realized then that the "carrier" was open and Ah could see Katie's face!  She was eatin..  Ah approached carefully again, stretching mah whole body upwards:   "Katie hawney??  Are you awkay??  What happened??".   "Don't even ask Googie.. I.... I don't really know.. They had me in this place.. and I started dreaming, and then I woke up and I was in pain!  And they were poking me this way and that.. And then they put me in a cage!  I didn't know what to think really!... And then MOM came over and at first?  I didn't even realize it was her and I turned myself away toward the back of the cage, I was that scared.. and then I smelled her hand and was so glad to see her, I headbonked her over and over again!", she tried to explain it all to me with her head down a bit.. Ah could tale she wasn't her usual self.

"Well, Katie hawney, just relax... Ah will leave you alone for now, oop, Ah can feel mom raght behand me anyway.. Ah think she wants me to go .. But Ah'll tawlk to you soon, okay? "

Ah hope we can steel have our fun togetha..
