Hi! I'm Carrots!!!
Me at twelve weeks old.

Did you know?

Did you know that if you already have one or two cats and you are planning on getting another one that it is important that you introduce the new cat to the other cats? This gives the other cats a chance to get use to the new cat. I had to go through it and it's a good thing I'm an easy going cat, the process can be humiliating.

My humans brought me home at twelve weeks old and left me in my pet carrier for my protection. The other two cats Ballou, she is 10 years old and Eve, she is 3 years old did not waste any time on letting me know who was boss. They started growling and hissing at me while walking around my pet carrier. I may be little but I just hissed back and let them know I just want to play and have fun and find a nice comfortable spot to nestle in. This went on for hours. Ballou telling me she is the upstairs cat and Eve telling me she's the downstairs cat. After a while Ballou and Eve started to settle down, they must have been very tired from all that hissing, I know I was.

My younger human kept me in her bedroom all night where I snuggled against her the whole night. I have never had such a big sleeping space ever! I miss the warmth of the other rescued kittens but I can get use to this.

In the morning, after I ate I was placed back into the pet carrier and Ballou and Eve went right into their growling dance again. Eve was more upset than Ballou this time. Eve tells me that my human's bedroom is where she spends her time at night. When Eve said she was the downstairs cat I did not realize that she meant the whole downstairs!

After an hour I was taken out of my carrier and made myself at home in my humans lap, yes I was still being hissed at but I did not let that bother me. I pretended to fall asleep and Ballou and Eve finally went away to do the same.  I got the point, they were in charge and I'm at the bottom of the Totem Pole. I wonder if they want to play after they have their nap?

Did you Know?

Did you know that a sure sign of your cat not feeling well is that their nose will be warm? Other signs of your cat not feeling quite themselves may be that your cat will not eat or they just will be extra quiet and do not want to be bothered. Sometimes your cat is being finicky and just doesn't want to be bothered at all. If you are not sure if your cat is ill or just wants to be left alone you can gently touch their nose, if their nose is cool to the touch, they are usually ok. if their nose is warm, they are under the weather. Either way you can always bring your cat to your family Veterinary doctor, who can tell you a lot more.

I just received my first set of shots today. My nose was warm a few hours later but that was to be expected. The shots made me sleepy and after I rested I felt fine. It's been a long first full day for me at my new home, I think I'll take another nap.

Dinner Time?!?

I received my second set of shots this month. I was feeling quite ill after the shots again. It took me a little bit longer to recover this time, did a lot of sleeping. My humans called the vets just to be sure but I was ok in just a few days.

At night when my humans feed all three of us dinner, Ballou and Eve find it odd that I rub up against them, give them head butts and meow. I just cannot contain my excitement! I absolutely love dinner time. Sometimes I get a dab of fresh turkey. Other times I get to share a can of wet cat food with Ballou and Eve. Either way I am a very happy cat.

More Shots 

October has been another busy month for me. I got my third set of shots at the vets. This time they gave me some special medicine because I have been having a bad reaction to my shots.

My friends Eve and Ballou thought I was a crazy cat for wanting to be Santa Claus for Halloween. I enjoyed every minute of it.

A carrot for Carrots
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Greetings

My humans were not too excited about it, something was mentioned along the lines of not breaking the ornaments...what are ornaments anyways. I had so much fun just sitting in the tree, hiding amongst the branches and surprising the other cats as they walked past. Never mind the presents, wrappings and bows...I even got my own stocking. What more could a cat ask for!
