Alien Kittens Ready to Take Over the World!

"Okay, here's the deal. They think we are the average kittens, but we all know better, so let's keep things on the down low till we get a chance to take over. Got it?"
"Who put you in charge? You're not the boss of me! Cobalt, you think you know everything, but I'm in charge of me!"
"Chaco, you are such a whiner! I'm just telling you not to give away our secrets. They don't know we have special powers. Remember, just act like kittens. Run, play, jump- you know. Like kittens!"
"What about the big thing out there? That gray furry thing? I think he suspects we're not just kittens. He watches us awfully close. What is that thing anyway? He's so big, and that long fur!"
"Starburst, that's an adult cat. There's some other ones out there, too. We've got the Mom People fooled. They just ooh and aah over us. Won't they feel funny when we take over?"
"Avalon, are you listening? Don't mess up! Chaco, stop stalking around with your tail up! You look strange. Don't let them take your picture with your ears up either because they are a dead giveaway that we are NOT from here. Your ears are just too big!"
"Cobalt, stop being bossy! We got it, we got it! But I have to say, I kinda like this pretending to be kittens. It's pretty fun, and all that hugging and kissing - I could get used to it. Maybe we should consider just staying like we are for awhile."
"Avalon, Starburst, somebody slap Chaco! Shhh - here comes somebody. Look kitten-like!"

The Aliens Introduced!

"Attention everyone! Attention! It is time to have a look at some of our newest additions. From now on, it is important that they are not referred to as "The Aliens." That is offensive and hurts their feelings."
"Armand, what do you know? The Mom People refer to them as "Spiderlings." Which is worse? I'd rather be an alien rather than a spider!"
"Jackson, we will NOT stoop to the level of the humans! Aliens, Spiders! No, they must be referred to by name, as we all are. Henceforth, they will be called by their proper names."
"Armand, you are so pompous! You don't even know their names, do you? No matter what you say, they look strange. So what if they are aliens? How cool is that?"
"Tia, I am not pompous. I am just concerned for the feelings of the ali.. excuse me, new arrivals. I would not be so crass as to hurt their feelings."
"Forget their feelings - what about their EARS? Who put those ears on those things? Do you think they can hear a mouse squeak in the next county?"
"Jackson, that is so rude! Yes, their ears are a little oversized, true, but they are so friendly and sociable. You know, they're all going to get homes before we do. Everybody wants the cute little ones, and in this case, the strange little ones, but nobody seems to want us. Do you know that I've never had my own special person to love me? I think that would be the best thing ever!"
"Liza, please don't be sad! Someone is out there right now looking for you, and they'll find you one day. Just remember, Piper got a home, so you will, too. Okay, maybe those aliens (shut up Armand! I can call them that if I want to!) will be snapped up in a second, but we will too someday. Now, let's go look at at those ali... excuse me, "new arrivals."
"We are only meeting two today - Chaco and Starburst. Cobalt and Avalon are being a little shy. So, be nice everyone. DON"T call them aliens! And don't mention the big ears!"

"Mom, Can We Have One?"

"Hi, I'm Nickelodeon and this is my brother Boomerang. Have you seen this place? Look! Look at this thing to climb on, and look at this thing to jump on, and look at this cool sleeping place, and look it's a shelf to sit on, and..."
"Nicki, look! I can see some things out this window I have NEVER seen before! Oh my gosh! I've got to have one! There's more! They flutter and fly! I'm so excited! What are they?"
"Boomer, move over! Close your mouth! EEEEEEEEEEk! What are those things? We've got to get out there and get one! Mom, Mom, come here! Look, look! What are they? Can we have one? "
"Calm down, guys. You can't get out through the window, sorry. Yes, they are delicious to snack on, loads of fun to chase, but humans frown on us catching them. They're birds."
"Birds? Are they toys? Can we have one in here?"
"No, they're not toys. They're alive. They're real."
"Real? For sure? I want one. I want to chase it. Please, Mom. Get us one."
"You can't have one, now stop it. They're just to look at. You've got plenty of other toys. Play with them."
"Yeah, come on Nicki. Let's explore. I like this place. There's something on the other side of this door, but I don't know what it is. They're mighty strange looking, but I don't know. Come on!"
"Boomer, let's play chase! Tag, you're it!"

Yes, I'm a Siamese!

Yes, I am a Siamese no matter what you think! I'm a torti-point Siamese, and I don't want to hear any comments about my "funny-looking" face! Okay, I have spots on my face - they're called "points" by the way. And by the way - my coat is the prettiest here! It looks and feels like sable.
I have to tell you something. I don't like Armand. He's bossy, just like Tia said, but he's not nice to me. I stay away from him. He's always struttin' around like he's some king or something. He needs to go on a diet, that's what he needs! You can tell he's had one too many pudding cups!
Now, Tia, she's all right. But my best buddy is Jackson! He loves to play, and we have so much fun. I'm so glad those babies are gone - I'm much too young and beautiful to be saddled with a family. They were so messy! Whew! I don't think I'm cut out for motherhood, so it's a good thing I'll never have to worry about that again. I'm tired of boys anyway. My mama was right - they only want one thing, and then they're gone! I noticed I was the only one doing the feeding and the cleaning. HE was nowhere to be found! I'm telling all you girls right now - stay away from the boys! They say all the right things, but they don't mean it!
Gotta go. It's time for a little snack and a nap. Life is tough around here, but I think it's going to get tougher. There's someone new in the bathroom and who knows who it is, but in the front room are aliens! I'm not sure what they are, but they scare me. Let's stop talking about them because, well just because. I'm outta here! Come see me soon!

Hi, I'm Tia!

Well, hello there! I'm Tia, and yes, I am gorgeous. With my long, soft fur and topaz eyes, I have got it going on! None of that skinny look for me! I'm looking good, good, good - all 14 pounds! No, I AM NOT fat! I'm fluffy and voluptuous! I'm good for cuddling and snuggling, and don't let anybody tell you that short-haired cats are best. You can use me as a pillow, and I'll listen to your secrets and share your dreams.
Armand, as I'm sure you've figured out, is bossy and a snob. He thinks just because he's the biggest cat here, he's in charge. In charge of what, I'd like to know? Not me! I'm in charge of me! And he's not quick enough to catch Jax. Liza just ignores him, and that makes him mad. But Armand is really a good brother. He took care of me when we first got here and made me feel like everything was going to be okay. He was right, but don't tell him. You know how men are - they like to think they know everything!
Oh my gosh! Have you SEEN those aliens? They got out the other night, and we all ran! Except Jax, of course, because he LET them out! I just don't know what to think about those things.
These Mom People need to do something. AND, there's someone new in the bathroom. I hope it's a new man! We need some more guys around here. They all left, and yes, I'm glad they found forever homes, but I'm a little lonely. Maybe somebody will come and take me home. I'm working on standing on my hind legs to give face rubs. That'll make someone want me. I just gotta keep practicing!

I Am Armand!

Hello ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. I am Armand! I feel I must tell you that being in charge of these sometimes unruly felines is a job that only I can do. When I arrived, things were in disarray, but I am working diligently to bring order and dignity to this place. It is true that I arrived in a somewhat disheveled condition: wet fur, dirty, and scared. There was this big storm that Tia and I were subjected to, and when we arrived, we were less than perfect. But now, just look at my soft gray fur; my gorgeous green eyes will melt your heart; and most of all, I have so much love to give.
I feel that surely someone out there will look at me and see what I see everyday when I look in the mirror - I am perfect! I will look perfect on your bed, at your feet, in the window sill, and at the food bowl. Tia, my sister, comes close to me in perfection, but alas, she is not quite there yet. I am turning the computer over to her since I can see that Jax is being disruptive and must be counseled. Dashing madly about the house is creating havoc! And now look! He's trying to let the aliens out! I must go! Remember, if you too adore perfection, we need to talk!

Liza Gets the First Turn

Hello everybody! I just never thought I would get to tell my story, but finally, here I am. Oh my gosh! I am truly lucky to be here! My time was up and things were looking grim, but being a very good kitty saved my life! I've been here for about 3 months, and everybody tells me someone will come along and know that I am just the perfect cat, and then Poof! I'll be gone and have my own home. That's what I dream about at night.
Piper, my best friend, went to her new home this week, and I'm so happy for her. She never believed anybody would give a blind cat a second chance, but look what happened. Lauren and Steve fell in love with her, and now she's first in somebody's heart. Wow, surely that can happen for me! Okay, okay, I'm turning the computer over to Armand (he's so bossy).
Remember, I'm Liza, and I can melt your heart. Send me a note, and I'll get back to you.
Stop it, Armand. I'm getting off!
