Arrival Story: Riley was our second adoption from Safe Haven Animal Sanctuary, a non-profit rescue organization. I went to PetSmart where they were having an adoption fair and kept staring at Riley because he was sitting up calmly looking around and when I stuck my fingers through the cage he licked them, so I started asking Debra, his foster mom, about him. She had rescued Riley and one of his brothers after their mama put them inside of a tractor to hide them. The workers heard the cries but couldn't find them until one worker unbolted the metal floorboard and found them dehydrated and cold. Debra bottle fed and raised them with other cats, a dog, and kids. After a phone call to my husband, I decided he was the one for us!! Safe Haven normally delivers the cats to their new homes but since they had recently been here with Sofie they told me I could take him with me. I left the store with Riley in tow, and a BIG SMILE on my face! Riley didn't need any time to adjust to his new home. He was like "Oh, okay, this is cool!"

Bio: Riley has white fur like a cottonball at the tip of his tail, his bottom lip is outlined with black, and he's got an adorable pink nose! He's a real charmer with a suave personality and expressive eyes. Sometimes when I don't pet him enough he nips at me and gives me this dirty look which makes me laugh hysterically. Riley is funny as he will sit and block doorways when we (including the dogs) need to get by. He just looks up innocently at us, batting his eyes and won't budge. The dogs are very gentle with the kitties so they never force their way past them so with Riley they'll whine because he won't move. He's a kneader and a drooler too!

Lives Remaining: 9 of 9

Thank you all for the gifts and messages today in honor of my diary pick!
We've been busy watching the bird nest right outside the kitchen on our patio awning. They come back every year to the same place and build a nest on top of the metal arms which are closed.
Good thing Huey stays in the house because the other day when he and Mom were outside the birds tried to dive-bomb him! Huey is always bringing in yard debris because it sticks to his hair, so wouldn't it be interesting if a bird got stuck to him?
Speaking of birds, Mom did some volunteer work with some co-workers last week at a veggielution community farm and took pictures of the Hen House and the male peacocks. One male peacock flirted by showing off his gorgeous plumage! Mom wishes he wasn't in the shade at the time and her camera phone didn't capture the colors too well.
Well, I gotta get back to enjoying my day and say goodbye to Mom while she heads back to work from her lunch break.
Thanks for stopping by!
Love, Riley

A couple of months ago, MASTER ZACK and MISS ZOEY sent us two ITCH wall scratchers from SQUARE CAT HABITAT!
We waited a few weeks for Dad to hang them up but we had not been seen scratching them since. Last night, I scratched one of them in front of Mom but the camera was in the other room. I decided to repeat my performance for Mom tonight and this time the camera was in the same room!
They look really cool on the wall. We've just been very secretive about using them!
Thanks again Zack and Zoey!
Love,
Riley

I made it to SAMOA'S list of dreamboats today, along with Enzo and Nike! Reebok is already Dreamboat #25, so now all the boys in this family are on her list.
I know Samoa assigned me the letter "b" because she thinks I'm bodacious, among other things!
Thank you, Samoa!
Love, Riley
