Meezer Monday

Honey the Great Dane, tagged us to play
Frankies Name Game.



Several years ago, Meowm got her first Meezer (Siamese), a Seal Point named China. Meowm adored China, and China adored Meowm. They would talk to each other, and China would let Meowm rub her tummy. China would lay on Meowms chest every night before going to sleep to get her scritches. Once she had her fill of scritches, she would curl up on the big bed right next to Meowm.

One night in November of 2005, China crossed the bridge very suddenly. Meowm was devastated. Even if she had been able to get China to the v-e-t on the nasty, snow covered roads, nothing could have been done for China. Meowm cried and cried, but knew within days that she needed another Meezer to adopt her.

Meowm searched around locally, but didn't find a Meezer she could connect to. She did some search online and found the Siamese Internet Cat Club. Here she found Meezer lovers galore, and she also found a link to Siamese Rescue. Meowm was in heaven!!!

At first Meowm really wanted another Seal Point Meezer, but then she saw my face, and saw that I had been in the rescue for two years. Well, right then and there she decided that it was time for me to have my furever home. She filled out all the paperwork and was approved. I was in the Dever area, so Meowm had to figure out how to get me home. She got lucky, and some Meezer Transport volunteers decided they would bring me to Rawlins, Wyoming, and Meowm would drive there to meet them to pick me up.

So on a rather chilly day in January, Meowm and a friend of hers hopped in the metal machine with wheels and set off to bring me home. It was pretty snowy in some parts of Wyoming, and cold in all parts, but Meowm was determined. Shortly after lunch time, Meowm got to the truck stop where the volunteers, and I, awaited.

I was in a carrier, sitting on the floor. I kept seeing all kinds of humans walk by, and could smell some really good foods, but no one was giving me any. Purrty soon, this lady knelt down and looked right at me. She told me hello and told me she was my new Meowm. I was a bit bewildered by all that was going on, but was happy to hear that I had a new Meowm.

After a meal for Meowm and her friend, my carrier was picked up and we went back to the same machine with wheels I had been in. I was let out of the carrier to "do my business", but I was more interested in investigating. I sniffed around a bit, and Meowm scooped me up and hugged me. It was wonderful! Next I was loaded into a bigger carrier, and put into a smaller metal machine on wheels. Once we had been on the road a little ways, Meowm let me out of the carrier and I had full run of the metal machine on wheels. I sniffed everthing out and finally settled in the back window.

It was a long day, but once we finally stopped, I was taken into a new home. It was small, but I had been living with a boy in his room, cause I would bully the other cats in the house. I immediately checked out the enitre place, then set about filling up my tummy with foods and finally "doing my business". I slept on the big bed that night, and have done so every night since.

So on to the business of my name. Meowm has no idea where my name came from. I was rescued from a small hoarder, and had come into the rescue with another Meezer. I had a debut on TV one day to see if I could get adopted. Meowm used to have that segment, but it has been lost in the computer shuffle. Several humans asked Meowm if she was going to change my name, and she told them no, it was the one he came with and the one he is used to. So I have stayed Junior, although I have nicknames just like any of the rest of you. My most recent one is Grumpybutt or Handsome Man.

So, now you all know my story! Feel free to play the name game, and add how you came to your home if you want to!
