Update June 25, 2009 - Lady has led a long and wonderful life with us. Her brother Buster passed over to the Rainbow Bridge in October, 2007 and I guess he was lonesome and missed Lady. So we are sad to say that Lady joined Buster at the Rainbow Bridge on June 25, 2009. Lady had thyroid problems for many years and in the past year she also developed kidney disease. She was 21 years old going on 22 years old, so she had a long life for a kitty. She will be missed terribly by Meowmie Aurora but most especially by her brother Simba, who is now an only cat. Lady was just a wonderful girl, very peaceful and calm and loving. She just liked to lay next to me on the couch and watch TV these past couple of years. She still got the occasional crazies and would race around the house while Buster and Simba just looked on in amazement. Lady loved to eat and was always asking for food. She went outside once in a while, cause she loved her grass. Lady was just a sweetheart and would lay next to me in bed right by my pillow by my head every night. I am going to miss her so much, she certainly has left an empty spot in my heart and in my bed. No cat will ever be able to take her place in my heart.

I am going to leave in all of Lady's past year updates, as this was a part of Lady's life and I want to leave a record of her and her activities.

My real birthday is on June 15, 1988. I will be 21 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR!!! During the summer of 1988, my Meowmie Aurora had decided she wanted to get a kitten so she went to the Friends of Animals who had lots of animals up for adoption. Well, when Aurora saw all the kitties, she couldn't decide which one to get. But, she thought, "Hmmm....Here is this whole pen full of little tiny black and white kittens and which ever one is the most playful kitty and comes up to me is the one I will adopt." So Meowmie Aurora wiggled her finger on the side of the cage, and here comes me, Lady. So, I was the kitty who Aurora chose to adopt. When I was really tiny I loved to lay on Meowmie Aurora's neck, nuzzle her hair, knead the back of her head, put my nose in her ear and purr really loud. I still like to do that when Meowmie Aurora lets me!!!! I was a really playful little kitten and so cute...a little tuxedo kitten. I still am very playful at times and get the "crazies" every once in a while!!! This is the story of how I came to live at Meowmie Aurora's house and celebrate my first birthday with Meowmie, Buster and Simba and live happily ever after.

I am going to leave in all of Lady's past year updates, as this was a part of Lady's life and I want to leave a record of her and her activities.

February, 2009 Update - Here it is 2009 and I am still going somewhat strong. I will be 21 YEARS OLD IN JUNE, 2009. I have not been in the best of health this year, but I am still managing to get around. I have a bit of arthritis in my leg so I am kinda slows walking around. The vet told me I also have cataracs in both eyes, but I still manage to find my food bowl whenever I get hungry. Simba has been a real pain in the butt this winter. He doesn't go out when it gets so cold, so he attacks me whenever I go by. I just run like crazy and dive into my kitty bed and hid from him. I still have thyroid disease which makes me eat all the time. I drive my mommie nuts begging for food, especially at 7:00 o'clock in the morning. I still get the crazies every once in a while and run around like a nut. But most of the time I am sleeping either in my kitty bed under the plant table or on the kitty shelf in the window. I still love to sleep next to my mommie next to her head on the pillow every night. I have my own little spot with a soft pillowcase and everything that I sleep on. Well, that's about all the news for now. All in all, life is still pretty good and I am very happy!

April, 2008 Update - Well, I can't believe it's 2008 and I will be turning 20 years old this year in June. That's like around 100 years old in people years! I am really doing quite well. I sleep alot and eat a lot, and occasionally get the kitty crazies and like to go our side for a nip of grass now and then. We did have a sad fall last year. My not too favorite brother cat Buster passed away from kidney disease. I felt so sorry for him as he has been every sick for the last two years. But Mommie tried her best to take care of him. I do miss him even though we didn't get along too well. Simba and I have become a little friendlier since Buster passed away. He even licked my on top of my head the other day! Some nights I lay on the couch next to Mommie on one side and Simba lays down on the other side. My best spot to sleep is in my kittybed under the plant table looking out the sliding glass door. Then My next favorite spot to sleep is still on the fleece lined window shelf. At night I like to sleep right next to my Meowmie almost on her pillow. I am still pretty shy around strangers, but come out and eat catnip whenever Mom puts it out. I have generally been in good health, but have developed a slight tic in one of my feet, but I get along just fine even with the tic. All in all, life is good and I am pretty happy!

Febuary, 2007 Update - Well, I can't believe it's 2007 and I will be turning 19 years old this year in June. I am really doing very well. I sleep alot and eat a lot, and occasionally get the kitty crazies. My favorite spot to sleep is the fleece lined window shelf. I constantly have to battle Buster for that spot..who ever gets there first hogs the window seat for the day. My second favorite spot is on the couch behind Meowmie Aurora's computer, so I can be near her all day. At night I like to sleep right next to my Meowmie almost on her pillow. Buster used to sleep there, but I have taken over the spot. I am still pretty shy around strangers, but come out and eat catnip whenever Mom puts it out. I have generally been in good health, but have developed cataracs in my eyes. I guess I still see well enough to get around as I do go out in the summer to eat grass and take a walk with Mom and the other cats. My thyroid level was a little low so the Vet decreased my meds, and now my Mom thinks I am slightly overactive. I guess she'll have to take me back for another T3 test...another $100 down the drain. All in all, life is good and I am pretty happy!


June 2006: P.S. Here it is and I am another year older, I will be 18 this year. I spend a lot of time indoors and love to sit on my Meowmie's lap. She also let's me sleep on her pillow next to her head and poke my nose in her ear at night!  tee hee!

June, 2004 Update - Another good year has gone by.  I am feeling Much better and have put on a little weight.  At least I am not  fat like the other kitties.  I go out a little now and then, but spend most of my time sleeping in the closet where it is nice and cool and quiet.  But I still have my "crazies now and then, like last night I was running and the house like crazy.  Buster and Simba could just stare at me in wonder!  Hehehehe!  Buster and Simba are still around and once in a while act like my buddies.  Meowmie Aurora is fine and home with us most of the time.  I like that.  Then I can beg for food all the time!  Well that is about all.  Have a happy time.
