Chilli's first Gotcha Day

I've been living with Siena and mom for a whole year today. Time has flown by and I loved every minute of it! Please celebrate with us by taking a looooong trip down memory lane.
This is the first picture of me that got posted on this blog. I didn't even have my name back then!
Mom didn't save the ad she answered to, but those were the pictures she got after talking to the foster lady on the phone. They are from the middle of September 2008 and are the youngest ones we got. Aren't I a little bundle of love? Mom was smitten.
And some catitude! Mom came to visit me at the end of September, but she couldn't take me home right away, because I was sick for the second time with a cold and couldn't get my shots. All these pics are from the foster lady and a friends of her's.
This is my sisfur. She's a dilute calico too.
We loved each other very much, no wonder after what we've been through together. The rescue organisation had brought us all the way from Italy to Germany by car and we were so confused and scared at first. When mom came to see me my sisfur already had found her forever home. Sometimes I think of her and how she's doing.
In theses pics you can see how... ...bad I had the sniffles. Just look at that crusty nose!
Until I could move into my forever home I had fun at the foster place with this feisty floofy girl. And a little calico. Can you see me? I'm at the bottom of the kitten pile.
These two girls got to stay with the foster lady!
Then, on the 14th November of 2008 I was brought to mom. The first week was very turbulent and stressful, because Siena and I growled and hissed at each other permanently. Mom had only given me half an hour to explore until she let us meet. If she were to do the introduction again, she would take it slower.
Siena wasn't too pleased in the beginning.
She followed me around all the time, to see what I was doing, growling at that.
Those were exciting and exhausting times.
It looked as if we were never going to settle down.

From the second day on I growled at Siena.And then followed some days of chases, whaps and hisses.
I was absolutely wasted at night.
On the sixth day we shared our bed on the windowsill for the very first time. This bed has since been our favourite snuggle location.It only looks as if I'm taking up too much space, honestly!
I've learned so much of Siena in the following months. About the Evil Twig. About being a Gardening Cat.
About the flashy box.About the 'innocent look'. (Siena's a true master.)

About butt biteys and fun with tubes.
About hierachy.
And most impawtantly about love.
Here's to many more years together!
Many purrs,
little Ladycat Chilli

It's our first blogoversary!

Well, it's my first blogoversary to be correct as my whippersnapper sisfur Chilli wasn't living with us today a year ago. I started with posting on my mom's gardening blog.
Mom didn't sleep much that very first night with me, forgive her bad looks.
The gardening blogs mom visited lead her to discover the world of cat blogging. The first cat blog she ever saw was Miss Peach's. We lurked around for some time until our friends at The Poupounette discovered us and we slowly started to comment. Soon we had a little group of friends that visited and mom let me use a language everyone could understand. Mom realised that I was taking over her blog and thought about renaming it.
Okay, maybe she always looks like this.
When she asked the other type of human what he thought of the name "Garden with a Cat" he grinned and answered that "Cat with a Garden" would be more appropiate. He was right!From this it was only a small step to my own bloggie! Gandalf and Grayson were the only commentators on my first post, but that day they introduced me to the CB and I met all you wonderful cats, woofies and people out there. Probably the most important event was when Jan from Jan's Funny Farm introduced me to Momo. In November Momo, Fin, Miss Kitty and I visited our homeland, Norway. These floofy Ladycats have taken me on as LSIF (Little Sister In Floof) immediately and I learned so much of them. When I returned home little Chilli had arrived. We had quite the time getting used to each other.And the rest is history as you know it...
Since then so much happenend and so much has changed. We won many new friends, but lost some old friends too. We snorted with laughter and shed tears. This year it was all firsts: first half-birthday, first birthday, first gotcha day, the first blogoversary. I think I'm speaking for my sisfur too when I say that we hope to get to a second round of everything. And maybe a third? And it's hopefully together with you. Kiss, kiss, kiss.
