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.

A Change of Heart



BIG BELLA
"It started out with me not wanting to look at the camera .. I was trying to ignore it. But then? Mom asked me if I could give her a kiss-kiss ... And I started looking quite eager. 

Ready to please after all. "

The Rumors of My Sterility



AS THE CAT WORLD TURNS:
"No ...I didn't say you had no sperm... I said you just couldn't get me pregnant when you tried so hard.  You can't get ANY body pregnant here, can you? Not even your prized home girl Pipi who you like to scruff so much ... And when I press them, they all admit there've been no babies."

Her "Pretty Girl"


KATIE KITTY'S KAHOOTS:
"I watched in agony as mom stood over big Bella, coo-cooing her and telling her that she's her 'beautiful cat".. Bella looking up at her and lapping it all up. I couldn't stand it ANY more.
From my perch on top of the couch where I had a bird's eye view of this nauseating little scene, I blurted out my angst loud and clear:
"Mmmm!!! "
It wasn't quite a meow..nor a scream. It was a short cry for attention. A 'look-at-ME!' 'Mmmmh!!!"
I need not use words to express myself. She gets it. She came right over and told ME I was her 'pretty girl'. "

A Friend That Can Be Trusted


LITTLE GETTY'S WORLD:
"I have come to feel just as confident and comfortable with Mr. B-Bippy as I do with daddy-Googie all these years. Mom lady calls him "baby" but he's no 'baby'. He defends me and he avenges me - every time. I've seen him chase that mean-girl Katie with a vengeance, he'll fly up those steps after her all on my behalf.
And so now when I see him enter the kitchen, I will get up and follow - just like I do when I see Daddy. He is the deputy alright - and I follow. I feel safe to eat with him around. "

Attention Appreciated


LITTLE GETTY
"That mom lady...She just wanted to take my picture. So I posed and blinked back at her.
I like the attention. Even if the others don't like it, I've heard the gossip from that shrew Katie sayin' that mom is trying to steal her energy when she gets mad, that Katie. And Bella has told me how she doesn't like it either, it's fake she said. But my role model and best friend miss Pipi don't mind it and nor does my daddy Googie - and that's what I go by.
I like the attention. To me, that's real. "

B-Bippy On the Job: Avenging Princess


"I caught my nasty babysitter at it again! 
I'm lurking nearby mom near the corner of the room when my eye catches that Katie stalking my bestie and my family's head, miss Princess. I am in love with miss Princess.. she been good to me since I was a youngster.. And so here I am, watching mean-girl Katie lower her belly to the floor, balancing her bony butt and ready to spring and lunge on Pipi's butt! 
I did my own quick stalking - I flew across the room, passing mom on the way and landing next to Katie, causing her to flee up the stairs. I then strutted towards the kitchen, Getty congratulating me on my feat. "
