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.

Stand Back I Tell You!!


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 

 "I got extremely perturbed last night. That Baby just doesn't know much in life yet and I just couldn't believe what he tried to DO!

See, I had my dinner.. And sometimes, I ...can't keep it down. So I went to hide under the table, my safe spot there, and I did the deed... Baby then comes running over and sticks his little neck toward me.

"Miss? You got some noms here? Wanna share?!!", he was that eager.

"Stand back Baby! NO!!", I hissed and chased him out of that spot, raising my paw to slap him one. I had to get him away from there, for sure.

"But why? WHY miss? that looks like a snack!", he fell back confused.. "Well NO! it's NOT! You stay away from it and I mean it!", I hissed and growled some more.

I got so pissed off, I stood there in the middle of the room for a few moments just trying to compose myself. This was a good time to head on up the stairs to my sanctuary room again. "

A Dead End And A U-Turn


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD: 


"I really hate it when my habitat is disturbed with those two fussing nearby, mom lady and the Baby.. He's always running around picking on miss Katie and then miss Katie starts yelling at him and then mom lady crashes around my place.. So then I have to book on outta there in a hurry. Cause I don't like to get involved in these things.. So tonight I headed for the hills up the stairs only to come face to face with Katie and her krazy eyes.. 


I had to stop and rethink my route. The whole point of my running away was to NOT get involved in the fighting... So I turned right around and came down the stairs.. and then I wasn't sure where to go.. I turned this way and that and realized that downstairs is best - with Baby now on my tail.  I had company. "

The Finer Touches


BIG BELLA:

"I don't mew around, no half-ass dilly dallying for ME.

After the initial niceties with this new male visitor we got tonight, I just went ahead and stuck my butt flush-front in his face.

Let's get real, shall we. "

The Strangers Who Weren't


We got strangers in here tonate... Ah ran and hid with mah Pipi, and the rest of mah pack followed us...Mah little Getty and Katie. But that darn baby had to go explore, I lost control of him.. .. And big Bella got to shmooze with the strangers like the shameless dilettante that she eeez!

Anyway, soon after, Katie left our side too and went to meet them, she done her own shmoozing that little fickle minx. After a while Ah couldn't keep hiding any moare... They weren't leaving and momma done sit with them... Ah came out of hiding and saw her ... Ah realized then, diis was momma's hooman pack. There was dis female hooman that momma sat close to.. And there was a male hooman too...he wanted to be friends with me and Ah couldn't very well stay away. He had been playing with mah baby, Baby told me he had been having fun with him... And Katie told me too.. I came closer and big Bella was acting jealous cause she wanted all his attention..

So Ah too decided to sniff him... And finally nosetip him.

This was momma's pack.

Payback Time


BELLA'S BEEF: "You Mean I Can't Sleep With You? "

"Well.. I know my room has been taken.. I saw that the other day and made peace with that fact. But then? I schmoozed my way and made friends with the male hooman of mom's pack. He liked me, I liked him, I stuck my butt in his face, he fed me, he petted me. It's been all good. He even reassured me I would be his first and only special cat. But tonite, as I waited for him to come back upstairs just when I knew he'd go back to my room where's he's been all night last night, I found the door closed ..And when he opened it and I tried to get in, he told me I couldn't.. with mom standing there.

I couldn't quite understand why that was - weren't we friends ? Didn't I pay attention to you all day? Didn't I rub my belly against your legs? Didn't I let you sniff me in my most private part? This was payback time, buddy. This was MY room, after all.. And I was more than eager to go back into it. I heard something about 'no, you can't', something about "allergic".

I finally left with holding my head on high and settled on mom's bed - for a little while. "

Behind Those Eyes



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"That mom lady's gotten me in a tizzy.. There was commotion again near my territory.. She was nearby Baby who was playing near me so I felt kinda threatened and I bolted out of there toward the steps. But mean-girl Katie Kitty was out there ready to greet me.

I stopped dead in my tracks, facing her. I stooped low on the floor, looking her in the face as she stared at me with intense, krazed-filled eyes: "WHAT are you doing you freak? You running away from mom again? Did you hiss at her again?"

"Well, no ... I... ", I stammered.

"WELL? What then? Why are you running like a psycho? Do you see anyone ELSE running away from her like THAT?!! ", she demanded to know, her mean eyes now becoming laser beams on me.

"Miss.. I'm just scared.. I just don't feel.. safe, okay? ", I tried to explain. "But how many times have we all tried to explain this to you? And you STILL do it!!", she railed at me.

Then mom lady came closer, talking to me at the same time, calling out my name. I couldn't take it any more, I bolted for the stairs in spite of Katie and her enraged eyes.

"NO! You twit!! I'm gonna GET you!", and at that she gave chase on me and my tail.. We had it out upstairs. At least out of view of mom lady's prying eyes. "

This Is How It's Done


BABY G: 

 " I saw miss Getty running again.. she didn't even greet me on her way up the steps. Well, she was going pr'tty fast, for sure.. And then I saw big mommy go half way up the steps, she was actually on all her fours.. which she usually doesn't do, she walks on only two of her legs.. So she's crawled up the steps now and she's in a submissive position to miss Getty who's looking at her from higher above.. And my big mommy is begging miss Getty for a "kiss-kiss", extending her hand over to Getty. I've heard deeze words before.. And miss Getty is just standing there, staring... Not a greeting from her, not a nose-tip, nothing..

Well, I couldn't let that BE! I ran right up there between them and leaned over to mom's hand and did the "kiss kiss"! I nose tipped her, and nose tipped her again! I looked back at mom, to reassure her dat ... I'M here for her!! And then I looked up at miss Getty. I'm still confused .. "

She's Come To Reign In



BELLA'S BEEF:

"I tried to reign in that crazy boy.. We had another stranger in the house again, this one was male.   We all sensed him outside the house before we ever heard anything.   Miss Priss as usual took up position upstairs, looking at me all freightened.  So I hung around near mom while I looked out the yard to view'n hunt, while she talked to him downstairs.  But Baby was going wild... He was curving himself into a frenzied ball, gnawing at his feet.. And I could hear the guy going "ouch!" and mom yelling at Baby to "stop it!!".

Finally, I abandoned my hunting altogether and  decided to break this little chaos up:  I walked over to them in my typical authoritative stride straight toward Baby  (well, yes - belly swaying back'n forth, 'mkay?)

"Aww, so she's the one who's gonna take control now, right? "  ~ Carpenter man stopped his estimating and noticed how Bella came right at the scene to reign in Baby.
