JULIE'S STORY

My name is Jewell, but my Mommy calls me by lots of pet names - like Sweet Julia, Juliette, but mostly Julie.  My cat mom was a grand champion kitty, she was purry fluffy and beautiful.  One day she went Out There.  Soon she had kittens, Carlos and I were two of them. We kitties were taken to the V.E.T.s for her to find us a good home.  My Mommy came in and the V.E.T. asked her if she would take both of us.  So we went to our home.

There were 3 other kitties there.  An old part Meezer kitty, Lumpy, an orinch kitty with lots of toes, Toby, and a tortie, Minnie Pumpkin.  Its a family tradition that all tortie kitties have "Minnie" in their name, in honor of Mommy's granny.  These 3 kitties have all ran to the bridge.  I didn't really like any of them.  I was purry, purry cute, fluffy and beautiful, so of course I should be the queen of the house.  The other kitties didn't see it that way since I was just a kitten.  So we just ignored each other.  I ignored Carlos too, just for good measure.

One day Mommy and the Girl brought home a stripped kitten and named her Sweet Pea.  Then they started calling her all kinds of redickulus names  - Meertah, Sugar Bee, Oui Oui, Twinkletoes.  I didn't like her either.  She was small and had stripes!  She smelled funny and she PLAYED WITH MOMMY!!  I tried being mean to her so she would go away but it didn't work!  I broke down the barrier to her room, bit her and all she wanted to do was play with me!!  Commoners don't touch royalty!  I did get used to her, but I took my time.  I don't attack her, so long as she stays away.  She still tries to play with me, but all I have to do is hiss.....

Last hots another cat came home, and I REALLY, REALLY HATED HER!!!  Right from the start.  She wanted to be queen and bossed the other kitties, but there can only be one queen!  That queen is me, and I'm not giving my crown to anyone!  I am beautiful with a big, fluffy tail and treemendously long whiskers!  I can't stand to look at her with her piteously short whiskers and that dumb black tail, but I'm not allowed to anyway.  I tried staring her to death, biting her and killing her from under the door every night, but she just won't leave.  I'm sure if there was some one you hated and they came uninvited to live at your house, you would understand and do the same.

But I love my Mommy purry much!  I help her read and sleep next to her on my special snowflake pillow that only looks good with MY furs and MY big, beautiful fluffy tail. I push so hard against her when I sleep that I roll up on her some, that's how much I love my Mommy!  I specially like it when she scratches under my arms, then I put my legs straight up in the air the whole time.  Cause it feels that good. I squeak my cutest at her and give her lots of kisses which she preciates very much.  I would never bite my Mommy unless she combs me with the evil comb.

Some scratches feel so good you have to put your arms in the air
