Introduction
I want to tell all of my friends here at U-Cats so long it´s been good to know you but today I had an argument with a car and it won. I always thought I could beat any odds and I made mom respect my wishes but well, you can´t win ´em all. And I

Congratulations on becoming Cat of the Week. Now that you are behind the rainbow, what is the one thing that you miss?
You are not going to believe this but I miss fighting with my mom over having to take my pink medicine every night. As old as it got having to take it every single night, I noticed a long time ago how much worse I felt and how much sorer my mouth was if I DID manage to dodge her, and though I couldn´t let on, I knew she only hassled me about it because she loved me. As of course she should have done.

What is your best memory?
I have two and they´re both about coming home. When Mom came to find Trixie at the shelter and I kept reaching my paw out of the cage for her to pay attention to me, I really didn´t think she would. Older cats aren´t that popular, you know? And I was a full grown tom by then. But I guess she liked my cattitude because she took me and Trixie both. The second time was when i first came home at 3 AM after having been locked in someone´s stinky old oily garage for three weeks after a cat fight. Hurting, no pink medicine, and where I found enough food or water to stay alive is still a mystery. But I made it back and at three AM, Mom is sitting in the solarium working on stuff and all I have to say is "meow" and my door is open and I am IN and she´s fussing over me. Then of course, the nightmare began, the bath, the vet, and those wretched kittens--she´d had to get two to replace me! (they´re now fat cats Pancho and Cisco). And on top of that, my pal Kittibits, who I´d missed SO much, wouldn´t even speak to me! I think he was mad about the kittens too.

Who was/is the most important person for you and why?
Mom and Kittibits, not necessarily in that order. Mom because she did the things that cat moms do, food, water, litter box, let me in, let me out, pets and cuddles (although not nearly often enough to suit me), talked to us, read me Midnight Louie mysteries because the cat detective reminded her of me-ow, slept with me. Kittibits because he always slept with me, cuddled with me, let me drool into his beautiful silky fur, and if I was out and needed in after the cat door was closed, he yelled at Mom until she let me in. We made friends again after I rejoined the family when Mom got Cisco and Pancho and he was my best friend.

What do you consider your greatest achievement during your lifetime?
My greatest achievement during my lifetime was sharing my bad self—by which I mean my excellent self, with the world! Or at least my corner of it. I was the chief meeter and greeter of guests, always giving them the benefit of a little drool and punctured kneecaps to let them know the cat thought they were worth his notice too. I patrolled the perimeter, controlled the varmint and bird population (not so much lately) and was our family’s liaison with the neighborhood. Plus, you know, I had great stage presence and brightened the day of everyone—especially me-YOW!

What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?
Nothing funny every happened to ME but I sometimes made funny stuff happen to other people. Like when Kittibits and I were lodged at Uncle Tony’s vet hotel while Mom was away for a long time. I totally soaked up all the attention at the front of the kennel while Bits cowered at the back, sure someone was going to eat him. I kept telling him, “Yeah, bits, that’s right they’re going to eat you,” and telling the fawning vet techs “Oh YEAH! Scratch THERE! A little to the right!” Then when Mom called to check on us Uncle Tony told her how I was purrtecting Kittibits and she ratted me out so then BITS got to ride on Uncle Tony’s shoulder during rounds and got extra pets and loving just for being a wuss. But it was pretty funny before that.

What is /was your greatest passion?
My greatest passion? Hmmm,. Being of service to the world at large by simply being wonderful me, I guess. Now the poor world has to do without me while I’m up here sorting out cat heaven, spirit guiding messages from other rainbow cats to their long lost owners and friends, stuff like that. I had lots of passions and I wouldn’t want any of them to get jealous because I said another one was greatest.

What wisdom would you like to share with other cats on Unitedcats site?
About cars—avoid ‘em. They’re only good for taking you to the vet or running over you. I got somewhat abbreviated because of a driver either being careless or mean, it doesn’t matter now. So now the poor little blue green ball down there has to spin without me—mostly. But one of these days I will be getting bored with all this angelic stuff and look around for an especially adorable litter of kittens near my Mom’s place, and then I will have her find me and thoroughly tic off the other cats by soaking up all of her love and attention when I am once more the cutest, bestest, baddest cat in the house—mewahahaha!!!
