Eight years

The many faces and poses of CK! You can click to biggify it.

Today is my 8th Gotcha Day. Broken down, this means I’ve been in this same condo approximately 

96 months
(or) 417 weeks
(or) 2922 days
(or) 70,126 hours
(or) 4,207,590 minutes
(or) 252,288,000 seconds.

Whoa! In all this time, I’ve never sat on a human’s lap. I can’t tell you how many pints of blood I’ve drawn, but I’m sure it’s been a lot.

Concats to my peeps for letting me follow them home from my cage at Companion Animal Placement’s adoption event. You can read my adoption story here, here and here.  When the seniors adopted me, I never thought I’d be an Interweb superstar DJ, with my own blog, FB page, YouTube, Twitter and Pinterest accounts. To celebrate, I’ve written a little song for you with apologies to the Beatles.

CK:
It was eight years ago today,
The peeps took me home to stay
I’ll never go out of style
But I'm guaranteed to raise a smile.
So may I innerduce to you
The cat you've known for all these years,
Stunning Keisha’s Fancy Feast Nip Band.
We're Stunning Keisha’s Fancy Feast Nip Band,
I hope you all enjoy my prose,
We're Stunning Keisha’s Fancy Feast Nip Band,
Lean down and let me bite your nose.
Stunning Keisha’s Fancy, Stunning Keisha’s Fancy,
Stunning Keisha’s Fancy Feast Nip Band.

Peeps (at adoption event):
It's wonderful to meet you,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely kitty cat,
We'd like to take you home with us,
We'd love to take you home.

CK:
I don't really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the kittehs gonna scratch and bite,
And she’ll attack you at night.
So let me innerduce to you
The one and only Cathy Keisha
And Stunning Keisha’s Fancy Feast Nip Band.

Help yourself to some foodables.
And to the Pet Candy.

I’ve also invited some furrends of mine so for your entertainment. Without delay, put your paws together the best kitteh headbangers in the world, Ned, Sox and Hoss. Collectively they're Litterbox!!


They’ve consented to stay and perform another song for you.


Hope you’ve enjoyed my Gotcha Day pawty. Don’t forget to pick up a pawtographed copy of my wine advert. Thank you for being my furrends. Without you, I’d just be another disagreeable, under appreciated stunning house cat. You are my Everything.

  50. Happy Happy Gotcha Day my sweet darling girl! You are my idol, CK--the Purrfect combination of delicate beauty and bada$$ catitude.

    Here's what I think you should give your Woman for this momentous day: I think you should let her pick you gently up and put you very delicately into her lap, and let her coo over you and pet you--for like, 30 seconds. Then hop down without drawing blood. IMAGINE how grateful she would be! I've discovered that kind of stuff goes a LONG way toward getting me whatever the heck I want. XOXOXOXOXOXO
