A new home

The morning started out like every other morning. My brother and me in a cubby on one end of a large room with a bunch of other cats that look different from me. Across from me was a cubby with my mom and her new litter of kittens that barely opened their eyes. And next to our cubby was a couple of kittens who are my half sisters and one brother. They are older than me though.

Everything was normal until suddenly, as if she knew I was waiting for her, a pretty lady walked in with Mrs. Peggy! This lady was really happy to see me and wanted to hold me right away and before I knew it she told me what I was waiting to hear. "I'm here to take you home. I'm your new mommy". Her voice was really soft, I liked it. That's when everything changed. I was expecting this day to come. My brother already met his new mommy but she didn't take him home yet so he's still waiting for her. My other brother and sisters from an older litter had many visitors all the time too. I can't help but think how much I will miss them all but I know they will have new mommys of their own soon!

The hardest part about today I'd have to say was the long ride in the box that purrs. It moved very fast and was very big, but my new mommy made it more relaxing when she held me against her chest for most of the way. I really liked listening to her heartbeat, so I tried my best to keep from crying. She and her mate were talking about my new name for a long time. They came up with so many I forget what they were but her mate suddenly said my name should be "Cyan", because of the color of my eyes. I liked that name too, because it seemed fitting for a pretty girl cat like me. Ok, ok, I admit I'm still a kitten, but hey I'm 4 months and one whole week old!


I must have fallen asleep because the whole hour passed by, and we stopped at a really big place with lots of food and supplies. At first I thought this was my new home but then I really hoped it wasn't because there were so many people walking around with other strange animals with tails. I couldn't be sure but some of them acted like the dog that Mrs. Peggy had. They sure didn't look like dogs though, and they were really loud!

My new mommy held me really close while she walked around and picked out things for me. Another lady stopped her and asked if she could pet me. I'm so glad my mommy let me sniff her first, and didn't let go of me while the lady pet me. I'm a bit shy, and I did't want to be away from my new mommy. She and that strange lady talked about me for a while. When asked what kind of cat I was, my mommy said "blue point Siamese". I couldn't hear most of what they talked about because the lady's animal kept shouting so much. But I heard her mention my previous home with Mrs. Peggy at "Cat Haven". It's strange that she would tell my whole history to this strange lady. But maybe this lady wants to be a mommy too! Maybe she will go to meet my sisters! I hope so.

We finally left that noisy place, with a bunch of supplies and food to take back to that box that purrs. My mommy told me "we're finally going home". She carried me in through a big wooden door and let me walk around. My goodness, it was so strange because I could not recognize a single smell here! It was like no cat had ever stepped foot in this place! Could I really be the only one? I was so worried that I'd be bullied by another cat, but could it really be possible to have this whole place for myself? Wow!

I had a very busy day sniffing the entire place out. There are so many places to hide, but I'm proud to say I only hid for 5 minutes before I realized how silly I was acting. My mommy really didn't mind me walking all over her things while she put together a blue box with sand in it. My mommy said she bought it because it matches my eyes, and she poured some kitten chow into a bowl telling me that it was food for me to eat when I was hungry. But how could I possibly be hungry? I was too excited to see the whole place.

There's something familiar about the blue box. It looks like the litter box that my brother and I shared, but it doesn't smell the same. Even when my mommy took the large top dome off of it, I still wasn't convinced. Maybe later I'll understand what it is for.

After a long day of exploring, I don't think I could possibly get any sleep. I'm still to excited about my wonderful day! But my mommy and her mate put a blanket beside their bed and told me I could sleep there. Too bad they shut the door and kept me inside their room because I wanted to explore some more while they slept. Oh well, tomorrow is another exciting day!
