Happy 10th Gotcha Day To Me!

 It's my 10th Gotcha Day today 😻



I got adopted from Wood Green, The Animals Charity on 21st July 2011. It only seems like yesterday!

Here I am with Mum a couple of days after I got adopted. We look so much younger, especially me. I was just over 10 weeks old here.

What a cute kitten I was!

Check out this video Mum filmed on her then phone - a Blackberry. Remember them? I felt at home straight away and jumped onto Mum's lap for love and cuddles.


You can read my book A Forever Home For Athena if you haven't already to find out about my rescue (though some of it is fictionalized as Mum doesn't really know what happened to me before she adopted me other than I was found abandoned in a garden and got taken to the shelter).

Congratulations on your 10th Gotcha Day! Such a sweet photo of you and your Mom, and you can tell in the video with your kneading paws that you loved her from the very beginning. I hope you have a wonderful day.
