indoors Arrival Story: When my parents moved to VA, they wanted a cat but didn't begin the search as they wanted to get settled in first. Within a few days in their new home, my parents drove around as they needed groceries and necessities. And then they spotted "PetSmart". As luck would have it, there was an open adoption and the organization that day was Fancy Cats which is a rescue for cats. Mom never had a cat before, but Dad really wanted a cat as he grew up with cats. I won mom over and it was love at first sight! After doing a background check, I came home May 25, 2004 and was thought to be 1 years old. So May 25 is my birthday :) Bio: Since my dad is in law enforcement, I was named after the character, Hondo, from the movie "S.W.A.T". My favorite color is Pink and you're darn right that I love Hello Kitty!!! REAL men wear Pink!

568 cats including me celebrate their birthday today!!! 8 years ago I came home and while everyone calls me "Geezer" (mind you, Boogie is only a few months younger!) I'm still kickin' it :)
I'm mom's first cat. Dad picked me out at PetSmart as they were having the Rescue Team, "Fancy Cats" of Herndon, VA show off all the pets who needed homes.
My pawrents had just moved to VA a few days ago and wanted to get acquainted with the new neighborhood and stopped by PetSmart :) I'm glad they did!!!
My pawrents got me a cool Sock Monkey Bed but Fido is hogging it. Tis ok, I might do retail damage later as I love to shop and often keep mom company while she does that too! :) Concats to Boogie for his DDP honor too.
Thanks for the pawmails and come on over and enjoy the HUGE CAKE Colleen, one of my first Catster pals, sent me!!
UPDATED: Thanks for the pawmails everyone! I'd like to thank the following cats too:
-Colleen for the HUGE cake! I licked the pink frosting!
-Mocha for the yummy cupcake
-Pansy for the Birthday Hat (I look good in blue)
-Murrman for the spiffy Hat
-Albus and family (best headmaster!!!) for the hat
-Beepers for the ladybug! ooooooooo
-Karisma for the baseball (I own a pink NY Yankees cap!)
-Smiley Cassanova for the pretty USA Flag
-My in-laws Tessa and family for the baseball (They too love the Yankees)
-Teebo and family the yummy PINK Shrimp
-Big Harry and family for the Shrimpie
-My family for the Emerald which is my Birthstone :)
So my 9th Birthday is May 25!! But apparently my birthday gift came super early so mom decided to let me open it.
OF COURSE, my siblings had a test drive before me 'cause I'm not spoiled and have to investigate things ASAP like ALL my siblings. Heck, even the dog wanted to test drive my gift but mom said, "NOOOOOOOO" 'cause he's so big and would stretch it out :)
I got a Sock Monkey bed!!! Ooooooo! Mom has a weakness for buying pet beds. She can't "help it". :) Once they all tried it out, mom scooped me up and put me in it. I ran of course! But a few minutes later I tried it out and I quite like it!
I have an old bed, the "Hondo bed" that my nephew and nieces got me for Catmas about 4 years ago. It looks like me but the twins steal it. So now I'm claiming this as MINE. Check out my picture!
So I think I'm getting a kitty cold as I'm sniffling. Mom said all of us cats are driving her nuts!! Sick, tons of vet visits, and Tiski needs a blood panel as he has to see the Cardiologist again for a 9 month recheck. Those are pricey $600 visits.
I hope to get Clavamox 'cause while I sneeze all the time in general, I sounds stuffy and snotty.
On the plus side, Boogie is looking better so that's good. Mom was worried after he finished the meds, but it seems to have worked ::knock on wood::
Mittens is also going in for a recheck with the GOOD vet.
Mom will be turning gray like me at this rate MOL :)
