Before I tell you about a typical day in my spoiled Kitty life,let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Teddy. Sometimes Teddy Bear, except for when Mommy or Daddy get mad at me, then they call me by my real name,Theodore.



I was born feral to a feral Mom. That means neither of us had ever known a human's touch. There was a lady named Agnes (my Mommy calls her a "Kitty Angel") whose mission in life is to trap all the feral kitties in Brooklyn and see that they are spayed/neutered or taken to a shelter to be put up for adoption. That is how I came to be in a New Jersey shelter when Mommy and Daddy walked in. I guess you could say that was the luckiest day of my life.



You see, I was a hissing, slashing, biting bundle of fur when they first saw me but they loved me despite all that.
I made things very difficult for them at first, never letting them near me, hiding all the time, biting my Daddy so badly that he required medical attention and lots more inappropriate behavior on my part.



Gradually though, I came to love and trust them and now I am a totally spoiled kitty and loving every minute of it!!

Here's a typical day in my life:

5:45 AM - Time to get up! Before my Daddy started his new job, we used to sleep much later, but I still have lots of time to catnap during the day. I get fresh food and water and my Daddy makes sure my litter box is clean before leaving for work. He also opens the front and back windows (if it?s not too hot or cold) so I can get my taste of the great outdoors.

5:45-6:00 AM - I do about ten laps around the apartment, using the back of the sofa for my sideways, gravity-defying run. I must do this every morning and afternoon so I won?t put on too much weight and Mommy and Daddy will keep on giving me my "candy bars" (Whisker Lickin's cat treats).

6:00 AM-2:00 PM - I can be found napping on my fleece window perch or the living room chair.

12:00PM - Time for a quick lunch and some lovin' from my Mommy and a little playing with my toys so she can "awwwwww" and "oooooooh" at me.




12:30 PM-3:00 PM - More naptime.

3:00PM - Time to help Mommy prepare dinner. I have to check out what she's making to see if I want to sample some. I love broccoli greens and every time she makes fresh broccoli, she gives me some (Daddy says the reason I like veggies so much is because I probably lived in a dumpster in Brooklyn behind a Chinese restaurant and that was all there was to eat).

3:45 PM - I wait at the front window and greet Daddy when he comes home from work. I do another ten laps around the house to make him laugh and then get some cuddling time with him.

4:00 PM- 5:30 PM - Naptime again.

5:30 PM - Suppertime. I don't like too much people food, but I always check out what they're eating to see if it's one of the three meats I will eat: chicken, steak or ham. Mommy always makes me up my own dish of WHATEVER they're having. Can you believe she even fixes me a dish of spaghetti when they have it?!?! YECH!

6:00 PM-10:30 PM - This is the time of day that I leave open on my schedule for playing, being cuddly, or whatever else pleases Mommy and Daddy I have to keep them happy too, you know). If they're busy, I find it very easy to make this another naptime period.

10:30 PM - Bedtime. This is one of my very favorite times of the day, because it is when Daddy gives me my candy bars. He's only supposed to give me five, but if Mommy's not watching, he sneaks me a couple more. Then we all go to bed and I get to sleep wherever I want on the bed. I just started sleeping in their bed with them a couple of months ago and I love it! It's so soft and warm. I didn't realize what I was missing out on all those times I was afraid to sleep with them at night.

Well, anyway, that's a pretty typical day in my life. Of course, there are a lot of catnip breaks, cuddling breaks, kissing breaks, cat treat breaks (low-calorie) and all kinds of other things. I also make time each day to paint the windows with my "Kitty Graffiti" and play with my many, many toys. I know I'm a very spoiled, very lucky cat! If my Mommy and Daddy hadn't adopted me, I don't know if anyone else would have wanted me. But you know what? They're pretty lucky too because they have ME for a son!!
