Guest Blogger! Jenny the Cat

Hello all! My name is Jenny. I was bored today and decided to test out this "computer" that's in my room. I see my foster mom on it all the time and wondered what the fuss was about. It's quite fascinating, especially after I found the pictures of me! What a gorgeous specimen I am. Meeeow >^..^<

Sock drawer, mmm, laundry fresh

Let me tell you a little about myself. I was at this shelter, minding my own business for almost a year when a nice lady came and brought me home. That's my foster mom! I was a little shy at first, being in a new environment and all, but quickly felt very comfortable. There's so much cushion here! I have my very own bed in my very own room. I let my foster mom come in and use her computer. It's no problem, I like her. Sometimes we even take naps on her bed while she pets me for hours and hours. I definitely can get used to this life...




My foster mom says she loves how affectionate I am and I'm the best cat she's ever had. I'll take that as a compliment even though I'm pretty sure I'm the ONLY cat she's ever had. I rub against her and tell her it would be OK if she kept me for herself.




She lets me nap all day and explore the house at my own pace without those 2 smelly dogs around. Seriously, what is with those two? Take a chill pill, I say, and back off! I think she should get rid of those ridiculous canines and keep me. Then I would be in total heaven.

Discovery Channel

Whoa! I just saw Jenny use the litter box for the first time. It was fascinating! There's so much scratching and digging and burying involved. I had no idea. Makes quite a mess too. It's like watching my very own Discovery Channel in my house.

The New Kid

Meet the newest foster kid! This is Jenny Cat.



Surprised it's a cat? Me too! Reasons why I never thought I'd have a foster cat:
1) I don't know anything about cats.
2) I've never had or lived with a cat.
3) I am very allergic to cats

But this little Siamese needed me. The shelter director suggested I take this cat to "make it people friendly". Whaaaat? Apparently she didn't like being touched and protested loudly when picked up. According to her paperwork she was found as a stray and she is 1 1/2 yrs old.

She's only been in our home for a day so far but we've made some progress. Jenny has her own 'safe' room with a bed and scratching post. After some petting she can't seem to get enough! It feels so good! After her initial shyness wore off, she became such a little cuddler. She would sit on my lap in my office while I'm on the computer for a long time.

She definitely still doesn't like being picked up. And she doesn't like being in the rest of the house. I brought her to the kitchen (sans dogs) and set her down. She ran away and hid. That's OK, Jenny. We have plenty of time to take it slow.
