Cat of the Week (12.May 2008 - 18.May 2008)

Introduction
I was born in South Lazio, my first mummy couldn´t keep me and my siblings because there were already too many cats in the house and the other adult cats were mean to us. Then when I was 4 months old, a couple from Rome came to take me home. Now I

Congratulations
How will you celebrate becoming cat of the week?

First of all thanks so much everyone for the warm congrats. If it were possible I would have liked to throw a huge party with all my buddies from UC, but unfortunately it will be difficult... probably this will be the good occasion for coaxing my parents to build my long suspended cat tree!! and of course my mummy may bake another cake for me too!!

What is your most treasured possession?
My talent for a personal fitness trainer. I really like to help out with mummy´s work out sessions to improve her athletic skills as it is awfully shoddy IMO. I roll about in between her feet while she practices her capoeira steps to provide extra challenge. Or when she is on the floor doing her crunches I sit on her chest for added resistance, so she can attain those six pack abs. Unfortunately she is not sharp enough to understand and appreciate my good intention, or perhaps her skills fail to match my aim, she gets upset at my effort of assistance. But at least this achieves another effect, as she has to keep yelling "Out of my way boy!" "MOVE!!" and stuff continuously while moving, this will help her improving her cardiovascular endurance!!

Who has had the most influence on you?
It is undoubtedly my mummy, as we spend a lot of time together. We are very tight. She is quite sweet and an excellent slave, but one drawback is I learned from her flawed Italian, as she is still learning the language herself!

What makes you laugh?
When my mummy has a go at "being bossy"... she would try to tell me off when she thinks I am doing something naughty, but no, she has a lot to go to scare me, it just makes me chuckle... well, my daddy is a different story though, I run to the safety right away when he catches me!

What is your best memory?
Coming to this flat for the first time, of course it was a bit confusing for the first couple of hours, but then I realised I will become a mega spoiled only cat here by these nice people who already love me so much... what a change from a household with 8 grown cats who were always mean to me and my siblings!!

If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
It would be that my original human mummy Devi could have been closer to Rome, or lived in Rome, so she could come visit me now and then. She was so very sweet and she loved me very much!!

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
It´s been widely known that it is the cat who choose and adopt a person, not the other way around. I not only prove the case but also took it to another level, and did it through the internet!! Last summer my mummy started looking for a cat to adopt,as they were about to move to a larger flat. She started browsing through the notices and adverts, and she found me. I was there with my 3 siblings, and somehow I caught her eye. In spite of the fact that she always prefered roundish cats, and I had a slender face, and she also liked ME more than Arturo, my brother, who had her favourite colour ginger. She couldn´t explain why herself, but she knew as soon as she saw me, we were meant to be together. I tell you why, it was the magic I zapped through her heart!
