New Territory

I was adopted.

I haven't posted in so long because it took me a while to figure out this human's password... Also, I've been trying not to get shredded in my sleep.

There's two other cats in this house. Precious and the other one. Precious looks like a smaller version of Xena and she's the prettiest cat I've ever met. Sweet too. Spitting mad at me right now, I'll get to that in a minute.

The other one's her friend, I guess. He's chubby and orange.

Should probably backtrack... Those human kittens that came into the shelter a while ago, they took me to a new building in a cardboard cage. I stepped out and immediately knew that this was my new territory. A glorious paradise for me to conquer!

I started exploring. I went down the stairs, into a dark concrete basement containing the, erm, litterbox. I took a look around. That was when the orange cat came down out of nowhere.

Up until this point, I had assumed I was alone. We stared at each other for a moment. He then looked away and moved past me as if he owned the place. Like he was king of my new territory or something. That had to be stopped.

I flung myself at him. We fought for a while, a good satisfying fight like I hadn't had in a while. There was fur everywhere, and, I noticed with some pride, most of it was orange.

Then there was a yowl from the stairs. Precious came in and yelled at us to stop. I froze, staring at her, and the other one ran away.

It's a shame. Precious and I, we got off on the wrong foot. I think she expects me to apologize, but I can't, nor can I accept that she's friends with that fat, smug... Creature.

As for the other residents of the territory... They're surprisingly okay. Four humans (two of them adults, two of them kittens, one of the kittens a fluctuating maniac who at times will try to put me in the bathtub or trap me in a pillowcase and one of the adults large and scary, all of them awful at keeping me indoors) and a dog... Upon first seeing him I prepared to flee, but he seemed unhostile... Even scared of me. I think we're friends now, but I can't understand a word he barks, so I can't know for sure.

I think I picked a fitting title. That's all for now. I'll try and post more later. The orange one's sitting in what I thought I made clear was my chair, and I need to go teach him his place... Again. *sigh*
