I am trying out a laser beam model pose to show you how silky and smooth I am.
Chilli set a challengefor members, to show how we purr. We're not technologically advanced enough to record sound for the blog, but I can show you something that makes me purr. I love to purr when I knead on my blanket. Mum says I have a lovely purr, and I am happy to believe that:) 
This is another Maine Coon, but we're not sure what his name is. Look at those whiskers!
This mancat is an Oriental shorthair. He reminds us of Luxor.
This kitten-cat is Caesar. He is a Maine Coon too, and is only 6 months old! He is as heavy as Fui already, and Fui is a fat cat! Caesar won the best kitten competition. He is a very laid back kitty, and has a very gentle nature. His daddy is friends with my Daddy! They go to work together.
This is a Persian ladycat. She won her competition, too. I think it must be because she is a torti. Torties rule!:)
Mum and Dad talked about entering Fui in the household pets competition because he is such a cool cat, but decided to try and keep stressful situations to a minimum. They didn't even think of entering me. They didn't want to run the risk of having a nice old judge clawed to within an inch of her life. MOL!
WRONG! Instead, we were boxed up and shoved in the car! Our mean mum wanted us to have a thorough check up before we went into the cat hotel and on our plane ride. We also had our vaccinations updated.
This is so not what we were up for. Dr. Linda was the vet on duty that day. At least she is nice.
She gave us Greenies in between torturing us.
We are both in good health, with strong hearts and lungs and a perfect temperature (although we could have lived without knowing that!). We are both a little bit fat though. We had a food change four months ago, and mum thinks our weight gain is related to that. So we're on a diet!
Suey got dad good when he was getting her out of the carrier. Our doctor nearly had to treat him! Hahaha! Notice how we swapped carriers halfway through? Suey wanted to be back with her platypus.
We'll have two weeks in the kitty hotel to plan our revenge. We're going to make it good!
They were excited to see it. It is only the first time ever that mum has seen a live one in the wild, and only the second time dad has seen one.
Look at those spines! They could do some damage, I think.
Although it wasn't the echidna that mum had to worry about. She and dad went for a run down the road to see it, and mum tripped on a rock and went sliding through the gravel. You can't take her anywhere!
We heard her say "let's see them kick litter all over the place now", followed by a somewhat evil laugh.
That sounds like a challenge to us, lady! Muahahahaha!
I started my day by rounding up those pesky kittens. Little Calvin Bunny needs his bits snipped so he can go up for adoption, and the twins need to go to another foster home where they will get nice and fat.
We asked about silly Stella, and found out that she has been under vet treatment, after pulling her stitches out. She has put her recovery back a while, but should be fine. I squeeked loudly, hoping she would hear my positive thoughts.
On a more positive note, doesn't young Mr. Bunny have beautiful eyes? The lady won't stop going on about how pretty they are. We also saw Tillie, Ruby and Jasper. Jasper was playing like a crazy cat and Tillie raced over straight away to say hello (which made the lady's heart skip a beat or two), while Ruby was snoozin'.
Once I had the kittens safely ensconced at the shelter, it was time to go for a ride with my friend Fui and his sister Suey. Fui cried the whole way to the Kitty hotel, like a really manly mancat. I didn't make a peep! Julie was very nice to them, and they seemed to relax quite well. The lady was sad to leave them, though, and can't wait to see them again.
Tonight, I'm enjoying having the house to myself while I prepare for my road trip. I hear there are some big things in my near future!
I'm on the run! I heard I was going into the Kitty Hotel tomorrow, aka Cat Jail. So I took my chance when Mum was saying goodbye to her friend and my old foster mum Kate, and sprinted out the door. I ran all over the lawn with them chasing me like crazy people, until I made a final break and headed under the neighbour's fence.
On Tuesday, the packers come. They are going to put nearly all of our things into a big truck, and start driving it to Sydney. On Wednesday, Mum and Dad start driving to Sydney. To make sure they don't get up to mischief, I am sending my friend Marty Mouse with them, so they don't get up to any funny business. He will keep an eye on them.
He was fascinated by the smells, and tried to sniff every one of them right up!
Calvin liked the feel of sunshines on his furs.
And skipped on the grass.
Ellie was the most confident out there, and liked running about.
After all the new sensations and fun, it was time to come back inside and have a nice big rest.
My first day home was interesting. In the car, I was really frightened, and drooled a lot. As soon as I was allowed out to look around, Mum and Dad think I decided that this place was ok by me. I was cool as a cucumber! I sniffed around a lot, then got to play play playing! It's possible I was just trying to show off my spotty tummy, too.
This is how big and strong and mancatly I am now!
For a little bit of perspective, this is my first photo with my mum.
And this is a photo of us taken in February. Our heads are nearly the same size!
If you would like to read more about how I got to my Forever home, Suey and I wrote a post about it here.
I got some good news for my Gotcha Day. Mum, Dad, Suey and I have a home in Sydney!
Also, because I am such a good foster brother, I will let you know what Jorgia, our friend at the shelter, told Mum about Stella. She came through her surgery really well, and is being incredibly friendly to everyone. She is also trying to look after the kittens that are there. Stella and Jasper were housed together in the same crate while recovering, because they are friends. When one of the nurses went into do one of the regular checks in the recovery area, Jasper was sleeping ontop of Stella, and they were both purring. Cute!
