Hi I’m Mattie I’m the youngest I’m special I’m beautiful everyone in the house knows it and if they don’t then I chase them around did I say I’m beautiful?
Mattie Meets Mommy
Mommy said she saw a picture of my pretty face on Facebook so she ran to the PAC and said she wanted me and the PAC said she could have me but first they had to get me fixed and they had to shave me because I was just a big ball of mats and no one could get rid of them and the only thing to do was shave me and I was too squiggly so they had to do it when they put me to sleep to fix me so Mommy left and I didn’t think I would see her again and then she came back and she put me in this carrier thing and she didn’t care that I was bald naked.
Oh I forgot it was really cold winter and snow and ice and all kinds of bad things for a baby kitty like me to be losted so it was nice to be in the warm PAC but I wanted a better nicer place.
Mattie Comes Home With Mommy
So we got home and Mommy took me to this big room it was lots bigger than the cage I had been in and there was a big window with steps to get up to the ledge and steps to get up a couple of other places and litter – I already knew how to use that – and food and water and a door that had cat paws underneath it and I could smell several cats but I only saw the paws under the door for the longest time and Mommy had this chair in the room and a tall desk and other things and she would spend a lot of time with me and sleep with me in the room overnight and sometimes she let some of the other cats in especially at night so they wouldn’t think she didn’t love them and I got to know those cats a little bit and it was okay.
Mommy said I was in the room to keep me safe and to keep the other cats safe and everyone would be safe and we would get to know one another slow and steady and I would never be hungry or thirsty or cold again and now I had a family.
Mattie Takes Over The House
So eventually Mommy opened the door and let me come out and she only let me go in the upstairs rooms for a while because she would put me back in the room and shut the door but stay with me lots and let a cat or two visit at a time and then eventually she let me go downstairs too but then put me back in the room and she was saying she was keeping me safe but I wasn’t sure because whenever I got out I could hide under all kinds of things and she couldn’t find me and she said it scared her that she wouldn’t find me and I would get lost in the house or something and wouldn’t know where to get the food or something and anyway eventually she opened the door and let me out for all the time and I’m in charge of my own life now and she picks me up several times a day to tell me how beautiful I am and this is how a safe house works.
