| Hey, there, I'm Cricket and here's my story. I was born here. Biscuit is my Mama, and what a wonderful Mama she is. I was the last to be born, at 2:45 am on October 5, 2002. My human Mom and Poppa were right there when I was born and made sure my Mama had everything she needed and kept her company. Along with my sisters, Poupón and Saki, and my brother, Elton, I was born out on the sunporch. I was the first to use the litter box. My human mom and pop were real glad about that. The plan was that I was going to go to another home when I was old enough, but my human Mom and Poppa fell so in love with me that they couldn't let me go! They are the best! After a couple of months on the sunporch, we were moved to the hot tub room to get used to the kitties that were already here. They could look at us and we could look at them through glass doors into the house. At first all of them hissed and growled at us. Before too long, Uncle Jet was coming in to eat with us and sorta made friends with us. The others took longer, though. My human Mom and Poppa believe in spaying as soon as possible, so I was spayed when I was 13 weeks old. Didn't slow me down a bit--played with my sisters and brother as soon as we got home from the vet. I got my name for 3 reasons: I chirped like a cricket, I'm small like a cricket, and I bounce from place to place. I like to be petted but I DO NOT like to be picked up. I like to runrunrun and bouncebouncebounce, and one of my favorite things to do it to walk on the stair railing like it's a tightrope. My human Mom gets real nervous when I do that. I LOVE my kitty mama, Biscuit. I'm never far from her, whether awake or asleep. One of my favorite times is in the morning when Mom gives us all treats to keep our teeth clean. She tosses them to the other kitties, but I'm special--I get mine on the kitchen bar. I'm a tortoiseshell kitty. Poppa thinks I'm the cutest thing there is. |
