First Day

Mom moved me yesterday from the old house to the new house. The new house isn't a new house to her. It's the one she grew up in. I'm not so sure of the place but its only been one night and part of the day. I guess I should start at the beginning of yesterday.

Mom packed up the car pretty early with a lot of things except me. Guess she wanted to save the best for last! It took her forever to get things sorted at the new house. Unpacking her things and putting them away, ok, that didn't take to long. The ceiling fan she says is what took the longest. Eventually, she came back for me. I knew something was up when she got out the carrier. I hate the carrier but who doesn't?

She already had my things in the car ready to go. It was my turn. I struggled a lot to get into the carrier. I wasn't going in, no no you can't make me. Oh shoot, there I am in it.

This was before we left. We were in the car and she stuck her finger into it let me know it was all be okay. We started out okay then she realized she forgot the hangers so had to do a turn around. Drove back, got the hangers, pulled out, couldn't remember if the door was locked. Turned around again, came back, checked and the door was locked. Finally, we were off!

Mom told me I wouldn't be in the carrier long as we drove down the road. Let me tell you, that was a lot of road to be driving. It seemed forever and forever and then something embarrassing happened! I threw up. I didn't mean to throw up, it just kind of happened.

We were almost there anyway and had about ten more minutes to go. Mom didn't want to keep me in the carrier after that because of the throw up. She didn't think it was fair to me. She opened it and I climbed out stepping over the throw up and sat on her lap. I looked out the window. Finally, we got to her parents house. She held me and we walked inside. I remember she said "Well, he was in his carrier then he threw up." I was scared. I clung to her and dug my claws into her skin. I left some claw marks. Sorry mom! She put me down on the chair next to Grandpa and he petted me a little. I jumped down and Grandma was on the floor and she petted me too! Then I went and hid underneath the couch. I was scared and it was new.

Mom left me there while she got my things out the car and set me up in her room. It's not so bad in her room. I have my foods and water. I have my toys, scratchy post, and window seat all in here. I did hide though under the bed and the dresser while she was getting things set up.I also got real hot and started hyperventilating. That scared mom real bad. I've never done that before.  It quit after a while.I just had to calm down.

It got dark and the grandparents went to sleep. Mom wasn't tired and I was calmed down. I went to the door and she opened it and we wandered the house. It wasn't so bad at night when it was quiet. I explored while the grandparents slept. then I came back into moms room and hopped onto my cat perch and stared out the window for a while.

It seems okay, I still have to get used to it. Right now, I'm flopped on moms bed comfy and content.



I'm sure I'll have more adventures as the days go by. I still need to talk about Linus too. That'll be another post though.

Love to all pals.
