My First Award

I am so thrilled; my friend Harry from Cherry City Kitties has nominated me for the Beautiful Blogger Award.



The last few days, I have not been feeling quite myself  (Mummy has been rather concerned - she even mentioned the V-E-T at one point), so this is just what I need to cheer me up!!

Thank you so much, Harry.




Seven things about me:

(1) I am called Rainbow because I am pure white and white is composed of all the colours of the spectrum;

(2) Two of my favourite foods are cheese and ham;

(3) I am an indoor cat living in an old house with lots of cosy spots and plenty of hiding places;

(4) I like to attract Mummy's attention with a gentle chirrup and seldom meow loudly;

(5) My ears are odd - one 'cat' ear and one 'bear' ear. The 'bear' ear results from the removal, about a year ago, of a nasty growth.

(6) I am rather shy and prefer a quiet life (which is what Mummy and I enjoy together nearly all the time);

(7) I don't know when I was born so my Official Birthday is my Gotcha Day and I also share Mummy's Birthday (but more about that another time ...).

My Gotcha Day - Two Years

Thank you for all the good wishes - it is lovely to meet you all and make so many new friends.
I had a super day full of treats and lots of cuddles and snuggling up with Mummy.

It was two years ago last Friday that I came to my forever home.

My first mission was to explore the house and find some good hiding places!! I gave Mummy one or two frights during the early days but she soon learned that I could usuallly be tempted to come out for food especially if there was a treat as well.

Life was quiet and peaceful (and still is, most of the time), so I settled in quite quickly. Good food (Mummy soon worked out that my favourites are chicken, tuna, cheese, ham, smoked salmon and prawns - no, I don't get them all the time, but I often find something special in my food bowl) ensured that I put on some weight - good marks from the dreaded V-E-T!!

My fur was rather matted when I arrived but Mummy gradually sorted that out and these days I even enjoy being combed - I put both paws on her shoulder and purr the whole time!

I think of all the abandoned kitties and woofies out there and hope that some of them will be as lucky as I have been.
