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.

Clawing Back to Forgiveness


DEPUTY B-BIPPY - with Daddy GOOGIE

"I picked a fight with daddy while we all waited for mom to groom herself in the small room. I got bored with all the waiting around and just lunged at him.
Well ... he engaged his great white paw on my face - and it wouldn't come off! His claw got stuck on me right above my eye.
...
"Eoww! Eowww! Ewoooowww!", I begged and squealed.

Mom stepped out behind the door and saw it. Somehow, Daddy's claw retracted and I was freed! I retreated for all of 2 seconds but went right back to Daddy trying to make up. I lowered my head toward him:

"Daddy ... you okay?" "

Cat-Interference



BIG BELLA'S BITS:

"I had to run interference this morning between mom and that little Getty. They had their collusion again, little Getty coming out of the kitchen while mom was going in .. And I see Getty scampering up the steps and mom trying to talk to her, laying all over the steps.. Trying to approach her and be nice to her.. But that Getty just doesn't give much..

It's an old story, and one I have tried to deal with but Getty is very stubborn. The first time I ever e...ncountered Getty, we had gotten out of our carriers and mom was trying to deal with Getty who was hissing and spitting at her, threatening to harm her. I had to step in right away between them and yell at Getty to pipe down.

So today I got up from my spot and went up the steps right up by mom's shoulder as she was laying there, still trying to talk to Getty - and I gave her a kiss. I started licking her face.

"Don't worry, mom - I'M here.. I'LL make you feel better.", I licked on her cheek as I shot my disapproving stinkeye up at little delinquent Getty. "

A Kink In My Plans


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD
"I spent the whole day sleeping on mom lady's bed with my bestie and the other females of my pack. And then it was time to go down and have my dinner when as usual, I follow daddy into the kitchen. 
Well - there was a kink in my plans. 
Mom lady was in the kitchen!
I froze in my tracks right by the trash can while daddy stopped alongside me. We mulled it over right by the corner there; as usual, daddy was patient with me and tried to talk me out of my fears. Well, I got pumped and walked halfway toward mom lady there near the stove where she was cooking:
"Meeeeehhhhhhhh!!!!!!", I protested. "You're interfering with my dinner routine!!", I bitched while I eyeballed her, knowing daddy was right behind me. Mom lady stared at me and I stepped backwards, retreating behind the trash can.
"Go ahead and eat your nummy num, Getty! ". 
Daddy looked at me: "You can do it, hon", he said softly. 
I walked all the way to the bowls close to mom lady and started to eat - without daddy - without looking once at mom lady, the intruder. "

Where Ah Draw The Line


GOOGIE's GRITS
"Ah don't lake being corralled into mom's room, mmkay? Ah have mah own will, and AH'll do what Ah please in the timing of mah choosing. 
So if mom decides to tale me to come upstairs with her, Ah will run up those steps to be with her. 
But don't try and navigate me into the room lake Ah am blind or somethang. Ah can't have that. Ah will hiss and resist, and peek in big Bella's room looking for a fight since Ah caught sight of minx Katie - and then barrel back down the steps ... And even nip at little Getty's back while she's on mah angry path. Which is somethang so out of character for me. "

On The List


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD

"She called out to me.
She said "baby" as I passed her by up in her room. And I turned around to face her, see what she wanted. I stopped in my tracks for her.
I know I'm included in her "baby" list. I have now come to an understanding that I too am part of that. 
I can be her "baby" just as much as my bestie Princess has been. It's not just that other little orange delinquent I keep having to dodge and shoo off; HE'S not the only "baby". "
