Can you believe that that woman who calls herself my mother forgot my gotcha day? It was 10 days ago. Last year around July 18th or 19th, Mom was planning a BBQ for a couple of our Blogging Mom's (Grr's, etc. Mom, and Victor Tabbycat's Mom (this was before Nina)). She got a call that day from Grr's mom saying she didn't think she would be able to make it because she had just gotten a call from a friend who was fostering a cat, and she needed to pick up the cat because her tummy troubles were too much to handle anymore. Grr's mom didn't know what to do, because the only day she could pick up the cat was the day of the BBQ. Mom said some words that changed my life...She said, "Bring her here, I'll foster her." Needless to say, Mom has failed at fostering twice now (Gracie was supposed to be a foster also).
Of course the cat with the tummy troubles was me, and I couldn't believe my luck. Even though I am a crotchety old lady who still occasionally has tummy troubles, I was adopted. I couldn't believe that she would keep me for real and true. I was about 10 at the time, and as previously mentioned, I have tummy trouble. But Mom fell in love with me, grouchy personality, tummy problems and all.
I am lucky to have found my forever home (even if I do have a Mom who can't remember when she gotcha'd me.)

Happy "belated" Gotchya Day Miss Jade! We are so happy that you, too, have found a Furrver Home!!!
My mom is a semi-failure as a foster mom. She's only placed a couple of rescues. The rest of us just end up living here!
Happy Gotcha Day!
What a great gotcha day story. I have some extra ham (and it's easily digestible)! Finally, you know my birthday was forgotten too...
I understand how mother's can disappoint you sometimes. Mine completely forgot my purrthday last year!!
But Jade dear, the really important thing to remember is that you found your forever home. Happy Gotcha Day and many, many more.

You are a very lucky girl to be adopted. That is a wonderful gotcha day story. We have to forgive our Moms that forget our special days.
Happy Belated Gotcha Day!!

A belated Happy Gotcha Day, Miss Jade. And don't feel alone, Jan forgets our days all the time. Some humans just have better memories than others. At least your mom has a big heart.
It's never to late to celebrate your Gotcha Day! Happy belated! Ask for real live fresh dead shrimp...since it's late, the people will feel bad and I bet you get it :)
