HELLLLLO OUT THERE.....

Napping while waiting for the laptop! 

Kinzi here...just wanted to let you know how I've been, where I've been and what's new in my life. First I want to say that when mom informed me Bradley had been adopted I was sad, and happy. Sad my chance at mom ever adopting him and reuniting us was gone, happy because he got to go back home where he would be comfortable...and that's all I have to say about that matter.

Lavender Simmons

I've settled into the new place quite well, my days are spent lounging around on mommy's bed or chasing my new sister cat Lavender around, because truth be told she still hasn't learned I'm the boss around here and what I say goes. Diva just isn't a strong enough word at this point. Mom and dad live to spoil me, and I love it...after all they should appreciate my cuteness, I AM one in a million you know! Although mommy has me on a new diet because I gained back a pound that I initially lost while here, sooo she insists I play throughout the day, she THINKS new toys will motivate me...but I'm thinking bigger...new treats, new cat condo...something better than catnip balls and feathers on string that I have to jump for.

Other than being starved, life has been pretty eventful since the move, lots going on in the Simmons/Collins household, redecorating, new furniture, lots of new nooks and crannies for me to explore and leave my scent. My grandparents adore me and give me lots of belly rubs and lovins, they never make me work for a toy, they love me just the way I am....stupid mommy, she needs to learn from them, but she promised mommy Phyllis that she would care for me and apparently they made a pact to starve me...

Avila and Verlander <3 

It was nice to see foster mommy and the organization that saved me  (Shelter to Home)on Facebook. Mom reads me all of foster mommy's posts as well as STH's, and I hear it's been quite eventful there, and I know with football season off to a good start there must be some pizza and get togethers I'm missing out on too! However, I've become quite fascinated with the Tigers and Wings as of late, My favorite players are Alex Avila, and Justin Verlander..woowee... them uniforms...ANYWAYS.

So anyways I will update my links, and start posting more regularly now that things have quieted down here, and I hope to still hear from you guys, I hope you haven't forgotten about me, because I surely will NEVER forget about you all.

Where have I been you ask?...

So a lot has changed since the last time we all spoke! First off I am proud to announce I have lost a full 1.5 lbs! Mom is ecstatic and tells everyone who will listen what a good girl I am. I am down to 15 lbs. even, from 16.7 lbs when I first moved in.
Since I last wrote mom and dad have moved and brought me to stay with my grandparents. Mom helps out with taking care of grandpa and grandma. We are all moving out to Adrian Michigan in about 2 weeks. Can you believe it? I'm going to be a country girl! Mommy will be taking me to the vet to get my frontline because she says there are ticks out there and even though I don't travel outside she just wants to be sure with me sitting in the window so much and stuff. Along with this new move I gained a new roommate, Lavender. I met her when I first moved in with mommy and daddy. She always tries to lay by me, and play with me, but I usually just growl at her and tell her to leave me alone, but Alas she always tries to kiss me before running off to sleep somewhere...far away from my bed I don't let her near!

                                                
                                                    But....sometimes I give in and play............

But don't tell Lavender or she might think I like her! Anyways, here is one more pic mommy told me I had to share with you all because she thinks it's so cute.......

I suppose I will share one of Lavender as well, she is starting to grow on me....but don't tell her that!

Well with the moves and all we are very busy, but I didn't want you all to think I forgot about you! Because I could NEVER forget my family! I just might not be posting regularly for the next couple of weeks, but I'm around and read all of your comments of support and love and appreciate them very very much!
love,

Just Another Day in Paradise...

Not too much has been going on the last week, mommy and I have just been catching up on some much needed nap time. Mommy's dad went in the hospital last week and recieved some life-changing news so mommy has felt a bit in the dumps lately. To try and cheer her up I have been extra good, being extra cute just for mommy. Although I did steal the last bite of her chicken sandwhich right off her plate on mother's day, she had the nerve to scold me...can you believe that? So I waited until she least expected it and later that same day when she was giving me belly rubs I bit her right on the wrist. Mommy is a huge Twilight fan so I just look at as a two teeth marks on her wrist in tribute to her favorite vampire.
Olivia and I are getting more comfy together mommy actually caught us being nice to eachother but then I quickly hissed an ran away, I didn't want her getting any ideas, after all I love being a spoiled only child...that is unless mommy wants to adopt a handsome man kitty *cough* Bradley *cough*. My foster mom Phylis told mommy that if that happened this may become an adult-only blog...she knows me so well!
I hope you all had a great mothers day and remember:

UPDATE! UPDATE! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

First, I want to apologize for being MIA the last week. Mommy had a lot of things going on and forgot to leave me the password to her laptop...how rude. Secondly, I want to thank everyone for the continued support,encouragement and love you show me!

Mommy was so excited yesterday when she weighed me, I lost 0.6 lbs! I keep trying to tell everyone these mommies of mine keep trying to starve me, but a'las, no one listens to me, I've really got to figure out how to use that phone... So on a half-brighter note, last week mommy bought me a water dish to go with the one my foster-mommy made for me, and guess what it looks like? A giant ice cream cone with sprinkles! The bottom even looks like a waffle bowl...I believe mommy has some sick sense of humor or something, why don't she just dangle a treat in front of me to chase, sheesh...I better not give her any ideas though.

So I've been sleeping in bed since I arrived here, to my forever home, I just don't understand why mommy and daddy insist on sleeping in bed with me. Mommy accidentally bumped me the other night and I bit her, that will teach her to interrupt my beauty sleep! I did feel a bit bad after so I apologized by snuggling up by her face and hugging her arm the rest of the night. She was pleased to say the least. No one could ever get mad at this face...except when mommy got up to switch the laundry out and made the mistake of leaving a small bag of Funions on the bed, when she came in she found me with my head in the bag and when I heard my name I quickly pulled my head out with a mouthful, jumped off the bed, and gobbled them up UNDER the bed where she couldn't get me. I think that will teach her to not eat snacks around a starved cat.

So Olivia wanted me to show you guys a picture of her, I think she's a bit jealous I have a blog and she doesn't, so I told her I would show my friends and a couple pictures of her so she could feel some special on-line lovins too!



(Olivia showing off for the camera =^_^=)



That's all that has really been going on in my world. I'm loving my new home, all the new toys are great and my new mommy always reads me emails and comments from all of you guys, and my foster mommy. It's nice to be so loved, adored,pampered,spoiled... (=^_^=) ...Move over Hello Kitty, there's a NEW cat in town!

First Night and Special Thanks!

Sorry it took me so long to post a blog from my new home, but my first night here was a lot for me to take in, so I had a lot of exploring to do...UNTIL I found the big comfy bed, then it was just R&R for me! My new mommy has this weird obsession with taking pics of me, I'm not sure if it's because of my beauty or because she wanted to make sure I have lots of pictures to share with my friends and family, I'm going with the beauty reasoning.

This morning I woke up pretty late, I blame it on this big comfy bed I have all to myself without those beagles around, although I felt a bit lonely for them last night...a BIT (but don't tell them that, I'll deny it). I was hoping when I was served my breakfast this morning my new mommy might not know about this whole portion control thing, but alas, out came the measuring cup and my hopes of possibly not being starved in this house went right in the litter box.

So last night when mommy Phyllis brought me here I was very unsure of this whole living situation so right into the closet I went....

I stayed her for about 4 hours, then I finally made my way out to check out my new house. Until like I said...I found the bed...

Then it was all over from there!My new mommy even brought my favorite toy into the bed foster mom Phyllis brought with me. Then I watched some TV...

...Until that is my Cat-aunt Lavender, who mommy's baby-sitting jumped up to say hi and check me out...

...I quickly growled at her, and hissed a bit to let her know who's bed this is. She jumped down and left me alone and as you can see under the title of my blog, we all know who woke up in the big bed this morning. Also, as it turns out the Easter Bunny didn't forget me or  foster-mom Phyllis this year! I think he just had my new address and left our stuff here. Mom got some of her treasured cadburry eggs, and I got a whole basket full of toys and catnip and a cool leopard print batting toy!

So all in all it was a great first night here. My next mission I think is to meet up with Olivia, my new sister cat and get the gossip on the men kittys in the neighborhood...right after I find out where the treats are hidden.

I also want to thank all of my friends and family who have followed me all throughout my journey and have followed me to this new blog. The love and support you all show me is just unbelievable and heart-warming. I also want to especially thank my foster mommy Phyllis for making this all possible. You were there for me when I had noone, when I was sick and scared. You stuck by me, nursed me back to health, and helped me lose over 10 lbs! You are truly an angel and I will forever hold you in my heart. You are the true meaning of a mother and truly an example of God's love.

I'm off to sleep in my huge comfy bed, I better go now before mommy gets too tired to give me belly rubs before bed. I wouldn't want Lavender to get the wrong idea and think she can claim my spot on the bed...silly silly Lavender.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

Well I've decided to start this new blog for all of my wonderful family and friends who have followed me the last year and a half on my search for not just a forever home, but for the new healthier me I deserve to be. My foster mommy says I'm ready to move on to a new chapter of my life so that she can continue to help others like me who need her.
I met with my new parents Sunday night, and of course they LOVED me. I'm not surprised, who wouldn't? I showed off my lovely purr, even rolling over for them a few times for a belly rub. I heard they have another starved...er I mean, portion controlled kitty in the home and that's exactly what mom's...I mean we have been looking for!(sarcasm, can you tell?) I will be meeting Olivia, the other inmate, er...again I mean portion controlled fed cat Friday. I hope they serve catnip...
