Wasn't I a cutie when I was little :)P.S. Our daddy is a soldier and he has gone away again.

Wasn't I a cutie when I was little :)
I have a list of things that have been going on here:
Forever Dad, we love you so very much. Come home safe to us soon.
This is him on the bed today in our spare room, having a knead on the blanket. He is looking much more mancatly than last time I saw him.
This is Freddie during his last week with us before he went to his Forever Home. You can see how big Lishy was compared to Freddie.
This is the boys today. Freddie is on the left. He has done a lot of catching up, and is about the same size as my runty brother. There is 8 weeks between them in age. Freddie is fatter though. The boy loves his food, and he has a very accomodating dad!
Freddie spent his first 24 hours here in the spare room and adjoining bathroom. Lishy snuck in between mum's feet when she was going into his room, and the boys responded really well to each other. I also snuck in, and Freddie didn't have a problem. Mum decided to leave his door open and supervise us, and we have been having lots of fun! Freddie has only ventured as far as the landing, but is really enjoying having buddies to play with. Suey is just ignoring us all, as usual, although she has had a couple of nose kisses with Freddie. (I thought I would add, mum only lets us mix with Freddie because she knows he is a strictly indoor cat who has had all his vaccinations. He comes to the clinic mum works in for his check ups. If she didn't know his health status, he would have been quarantined in the same way shelter foster kittens are).
Mum and dad went out for a couple of hours today. When they left, Freddie was asleep in the wardrobe in his room. When they got home, Freddie was still asleep in the wardrobe!
Today, I have been living with my mum and dad for three years. This is the first photo of me that wasn't blurry or of my bum.
Mum thinks I was a gorgeous wee boy, and I tend to agree ;) This is me and my first toy, Marty Mouse. You might remember Marty as the intrepid reporter who travelled between Townsville and Sydney with mum and dad last year.
I settled in really well, and was wandering around like I owned the place within an hour. Mum is very grateful to my foster mum, her friend Kate, who raised me to be a confident, well adjusted babycat.
I'll get a bit closer for you. The vet who did my operation is a specialist in microsurgery. The scar in on my side, and it is teeny tiny. It's size means it was a less invasive surgery, and I will recover much quicker. Hermione also had the same tiny scar on her side. It was the first time our foster mum had seen the scar on the side, and the first time she had ever seen one so little!
I also have some fun news to tell you. My new family really liked the name Luna for a little white kitten. So that is going to be my name!
I was also a milestone kitten. I was the first kitten adopted that had the Suey's Safehouse logo on their paperwork. My foster mum is very much a Photoshop beginner, but she was happy with it. The kitty is from a photo of Suey. Foster Mum's friend Greta (the lady who saved Harry, Ron and Hermione from the blue stuff on the day they were found) has suggested adding some paw prints to the bottom, so she will work on that over the weekend.
Thankyou for being my friends!:)
It's my Gotcha Day! I have a kitty brother named Cougar and a human sister named Erin. I am going to live a couple of streets down from my foster home. My friend Greta has looked after Cougar for several years when my humans have gone on holidays , so I will definately be staying in touch!
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!
P.S. Did you know I am a butterfly?
Miss Pretty has found her Forever Home! What's more, she did so despite us having had torrential rain for the last 4 days, at the same time as two kind tides. Given the number of roads that have been flooded, and the number of people choosing to stay at home, she did very well indeed! Clearly, her lure was irresistable :)

This is Suey on her Gotcha Day, in June 2007. We are from the same litter, but the vet didn't believe it. I am heaps bigger and stronger than she is! She is a bit more nervous than I was, and took a bit longer to settle in. We loved being together again, and would play non-stop.
