I know that it sounds funny to hear a pure bred kitty claim that he was rescued, but believe me, I was! You see, my breeder mommy (who is a really first class human that I remember with love) was thinking about making me a show kitty. I know, I know, it sounds glamorous, but I will tell you, from the conversations that I heard from the other show kitties at the house where I was born, it didn’t sound so great to my own self. You see, show kitties have to travel in CARS! And sometimes airplanes! And spend time in CAGES in motel rooms. An then, when they get to the show, the have to stay in the cage until the judge calls for them and then they get pawed over by some human whose looking in all sorts of places that I don’t even want to mention. Oh, and did I mention that show kitties have to take BATHS? I don’t do baths! Period. Any way, just as I thought my fate was sealed, along came my forever Mommy and Daddy looking for the world’s cutest kitty. Well, of course that was my own self! And when mommy saw me, she looked in to my eyes and said “do you want to come an live with us?”. Or course I said YES!!! Because I was smart enough to recognize my Forever Mommy when I saw her. What else could my breeder mommy do but accept fate an let me go with my Forever Mommy and Daddy to my forever home? And that's the way I got rescued from being a show kitty.
