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.

Daddy's Misgivings




LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 





I saw daddy Googie come out of the kitchen and happily jumped off my seat to go greet him, it was my chance to connect today. I got close and tried to buttbonk him as usual but he kept on walking ....

Walking awa
y..

Well I.. I did not expect that.. Confused and startled, I turned my head around to watch him, he kept walking across the room further and further away from me. He looked over to that minx, Katie.. She suddenly appeared out of nowhere to present herself to him.   
Miss Bella watched the whole scene quietly from her spot, disgusted I'm sure. 

So daddy just kept walking toward mom lady now, at least he didn't stop by Katie.. That woulda hurt me so much!!

A Ritual Skipped - For Good Reason




PRINCESS: 

 "I've been feeling pretty chipper.. So much so, I had to bolt and zip around the room a few times earlier today.. I was just excited, I guess. But I know the drill, so when mom started to call me tonite? I didn't show up for o
ur "beddie-bye" time.. Even though that's our ritual, I always come up to be with her before she turns in.

This time I skipped it cause I knew what was gonna happen: She was gonna stick that thing in my mouth again.

[Princess didn't want her pill tonite.. ]

Cat Pack Politics


KATIE KITTY: 

 "I was laying in the big corner chair for the night until I got wind of a skirmish between daddy Googie and miss Bella downstairs. I got worried and jumped down from my comfortable spot to go out and investigate. I came up
 to the top of the steps and met up with miss Princess who was already there. She too was kind of worried, trying to see what was going on down there.  She turned to me as I leaned over to nose tip her and see what SHE thought of the matter.

"It's okay, missy... Just go back to your place.. ". I took my cues and did just that..

A Butt-Bonk and A Hairball


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

 "I jutt helped miss Princess cause she got sick. I was butt-bonking her right outside da kitchen, puttin' my butt up against her face. And right at that moment she started heaving and I did not realize what was happening until a few butt-bonks later.. when a hairball was.. uhm, released.

Good ting it didn't stick to my butt!.. I had to quickly run for cover after I got my reality check.

Reigning In The Young One

BELLA:

  "I have reigned in the young one... I enter the kitchen, stop suddenly and stare at her over where she's standing a few feet away.

"You just be careful what you do missy; I'M here now and I'M watching you." - Once she gets 
my meaning through my laser-beam, she freezes for a while staring back at me and then she moves freely again.

Mission accomplished - I proceed to walk to my place without further incident

Mending Cat Fences



KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS: 

"I have learned to watch out for miss big-Bella... I won't tell you all exactly what happened but.. I won't bother her anymore.. I have been told more than one way, by more than one cat in the pack including mom, that miss Bella is not to be f--ed with [teenager cat's expression :)) ].

Anyway, so.. I now try to redeem myself. Like when miss Bella started to come out of the kitchen and she saw little Getty in her way. So she had to stop and wonder about this little lost one.. there was tension and I saw it. So I scooted away little Getty. "Up, up!!! Get back up on your chair! ", I chided and hurried her back up there.

I then turned to look at miss Bella: "Okay? The coast is clear now ma'am..." Miss Bella continued on her path, thanks to ME.

Seriously?



This is the face Katie Kitty made the night she watched big Bella across from her kissing mommy.

 She had to keep stealing these side looks and keep tabs on Bella on the right side of this picture (out of view) who was keeping mom company by her shoulder against the top of the couch.  

 Tisk, tisk.. Jealous kitties.

A Stranger Floatng By The Window


PRINCESS: 

 "I pretty much had that kind of look in my face just a little while ago when mom discovered me. She discovered a mound actually, under the blanket. In the spare bedroom. I had crawled under the blanket to hide...And hide well 
from some stranger who knocked on our walls ... I knew he was out there..and I sensed danger.

"Somebody's out there mom! I can hear it, I can feel it! " I tried to tell her when she got me out of my hiding, my ears pointing back and forth toward the window. She plopped me on the window sill and told me it was "okay". Well.. I don't know about that. She brought me my bowl and tried to coax me to eat and it smelled good but.. I kept looking up at the window.

[Our neighbors have a roofman working nearby our spare bedroom. :) ]

Still At It, Kid?



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"We were all by the kitchen when mom lady started to walk in - and caught me in the midst of walking out, I was in her path. So I stopped and my ears began to go down... I couldn't help it again, I got that frozen 
expression in my face where time stands still ... Daddy Googie was right behind me and that bad-girl Katie was by mom lady's side. Mom lady stopped and tried to tell me "it's okay" but I started to walk backwards, my ears getting flatter and flatter. I took refuge behind daddy-Googie's fluffy butt where I belong and feel safe. As I walked backwards, I passed him by as he leaned down to nose-tip me: "You awkay, hawney?" while I crawled still backwards and stood by his side.

Mom lady then turned to Katie and brushed her fingers over her head, that minx just loves it, she pushed her whole body upwards and into the palm of her hand, showing off and all... Huh. I crouched and watched behind daddy's orange fur.

And den miss Bella walks in, right between mom lady and me and daddy, trying to assess the situation.. She looked at me cowering behind daddy. "You're still at it, are ya kid?", she went as she gazed at me. Before she could even see it coming, Katie's paw landed on her face. That paw must've bounced off of miss Bella's face at least twice before she retreated backwards herself. And she did it right in front of mom lady's knees, she was DAT close..

I was just glad to be out of the way.

Pawing Injustice


BELLA:

"It was time to go to the kitchen - it was as simple as that. Everyone was gathered there already, mom was kneeling down in front of Googie, that I could see.  So I started my walk towards them and came up on her left sid
e. Suddenly, I stopped when I realized that baby-Getty was having another one of her fits, she was crouching next to Googie.   
I knew why and I knew what to do: I stepped forward in front of mom, facing Googie and Getty, trying to calm her fears.   

 Just at that point, I was suddenly assaulted.  A paw came flying at me out of nowhere and before I could get back my senses, it came at me a couple more times right on my face. "There! There you big boor! How dare you come this close to me!!? ", that little turd hissed at me. I realized then as I turned my head that the dirty, bad-cat girl was there to mom's right... I got slapped by a young delinquent - again.


I was beside myself, I hissed away and backpedalled back to my scratching post. Mom always has to apologize for this bad-cat and I get to vent to her as the steam comes out of my ears while she's petting me on my head.

Feline Feedback



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

 "There are times when I might start to run away from mom lady, and then I'll stop in the middle of my flight: I become aware that the others are all staring at me. And that will stop me in my tracks, I get embarrassed and feel like a freak. So I stop and scoot down and look back at them while mom lady is still somewhere nearby..

"Whaaaat?!.. "

Ringy-Dingy Paws Off



"Mom came home and me and Bella greeted her bah the steps. Soon as she closed dat door behand her, she kneeled down and trahd to greet us. Bella was marking everythang around her while mom turned to me. Well Ah
 gentleh looked away. Ah didn't want her to lose tame. You see, TAME is important here - she's got a certain amount of tame while the ringy-dingeh thangy keeps going .. And Ah reckon, if she don't make it on TAME downstairs? THAT ringeh-dingeh turns into a blaring horn monster. And we don't want DAT. So Ah let her go downstairs first to do whatevah she does to keep the loud monster away.

Ah followed down the steps, mah fluff tail up in the air, confident it was now safe and secure to take MAH tame with her and greet her properly.
