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.

My Angel, My Sister



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"I thought I would walk toward the kitchen but I stopped in my tracks when I got a load of that krazed minx. She was lurking up on the steps, zapping me with her laserbeam eyes.. I froze. I ducked down toward the floor as she flew at me. I ran away from her and as I turned the other way, I saw my angel, my life saver, my soulmate and furrever friend: Miss PIPI was there! I ran to the other side of her, I knew I'd be safe!

"Aw, Pipi! Please deliver me from that krazed Katie! She's AFTER me again!!", I scooted downward and curled my tail around me, lowering my shoulders down as I begged Pipi to protect me. And protect me she did! She bravely stood between us, her ears flapping back, shooting her trademark glance just once at that Katie.

"Miss Katie, please.. Can't you see what you're doing here? Where are your manners, dear? "..

My soul sister, miss Pipi did not even flinch or lower herself once. She made Katie turn on her paw and walk away, leaving me BE! I watched miss Katie walk away in defiance, hah!! "





My Own Time, My Own Terms

PIPI'S POINT: 


"I have pretty much given up on accompanying mom upstairs to her room for her bedtime... That Katie has blocked us all from it, she wants to be the only one ... 





So I make my special time with mom after dinner when she goes to the couch to watch TV. That's when I seize my opportunity every day, well - besides the mornings too, I have to wait a fenagle it after Katie again. 





I just don't like confrontations with that krazy little minx. "
 


Makin' Do


GOOGIE'S GRITS:

"Ah had to make do dees mornin'. When Ah went upstairs to greet mom in her small room, Ah found Bella in there already, she done take mah spot. She had her butt facing me, defiant ... She knew Ah was there but she refused to acknowledge me, instead sitting there bah mom's feet, awl Ah could see was her huge butt.. And HOW do you argue with a grandma's butt?

Ah stood behind her for a few moments cawntemplating what Ah was gonna do as her ears flapped back and forth, burning from mah laser-beams on her.. Ah expected that she would get up and leave but no.. And then Ah see mom leanin' down and petting her on top of it and she done start purring up a storm, what a show off she was..

Ah just poooshed it awl under the rug and got busy with Baby who was trying to figure out how to untie mom's robe strings.. Until Baby decided that Bella's tail was more fun - and that was the end of it. "



Tough Love



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"Baby is a handful, it's true. I have to keep him in check especially when I see him getting fired up, so I make a pre-emptive pawslap and hiss at him to keep him in line and he knows to steer clear of me.  But that doesn't mean I'm on bad terms with him.   When things are still calm and I approach him toward the kitchen, when we know we're about to get our breakfast or dinner, I greet him properly.

I am interested in his friendship and I WILL stick my neck out to nose-tip him. I find him an interesting little character. 





Besides: He cares about me. He runs to me when he hears me cry. "
 


A Lisping Shrew!



BIG BELLA'S BITS:

"Dammit, it's that time again when mom busts in on me at her beddie and starts messing with my head.

This time I didn't bite. She went for my belly and scratched it just where she knows I don't like it but I took the high road. I made peace with her, gave her my belly - just so I can stay on the bed.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long. I lost my temper again and growled. "This is the LAST time you touch me there ! Or I'll jump off !" ....


Well, I guess I forgot my own objective. Now I looked to the door, contemplating my getaway past that krazed minx lurking in the shadows inside the cube.   I had to move quickly, I picked up speed as I passed her by, I was in no mood to be spit at by that lisping shrew. "




Could It Be?




GOOGIE'S GRITS:
"Momma done ignore me all naght, it seemed to me.. Well, she done fall asleep on the couch, that much Ah am sure of.. with her mouth open. So Ah refrained from jumping on her lap while she slept, Ah didn't wanna wake her. Ah quietly took mah spot up on top of the couch, waiting for her all evening long to come to.

As Ah cawintinued mah eeendefineete snooze, Ah suddenly hear her whisper evah so gentleh: "Gabriel, my babyyyy". Ah lifted mah face, Ah was still in slaght deeesbelief: She really did finally call me, didn't she? Mah left ear flicked and twitched and Ah got up from mah snooze and eagerly walked on ovah to her. 





Ah struggled to place mah paw down on to her laptop to complete our togethaness but.. Ah couldn't quate get away with DAT. "

No Fool


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"I'M no fool.. I may scatter away from mom lady every time she tries to touch me but I know she's our main source of noms and stuff.. So when she suddenly went out the wrong door today, and that door opened big and the wind blew in, I dropped what I was doing and quickly walked toward her. I walked near the door steps to investigate, make sure she was coming back. It may have all been out of my comfort zone, out of my dotted pink beddie - but I know the essentials.

When she stepped back in, our eyes met - I stood there near her and searched her face for reassurance. "



My Soul Sister



LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:

"I thought I would walk toward the kitchen but I stopped in my tracks when I got a load of that krazed minx.  She was lurking up on the steps, zapping me with her laserbeam eyes..
