I showed up on Mom and Dad's back porch as a stray cat. They fell in love with me and took me in. At the time, I had to learn to get along in a household which already had two cats (Brainball and Dorydoo). Then two months later, MaoMao joined our family -- and I was in a four cat household!
It's been challenging for me, but over time, I've adjusted well. I get along fine with my siblings as long as they allow me my space.
And I'm a people cat! When people come over, I'm the first Ballicus to greet them, and I love getting rubs and scritches from them.
Mom calls me a Velcro Cat and a Lap Fungus -- any time she's sitting down, I want in her lap. In fact, I am dictating this post from Mom's lap. So that should give you some idea of how much I love cuddling with my beans.
I just realized: I've been a part of the Cat Blogosphere for going on a year and a half! The CB is a delightful place. I want to thank all of you for being my friends.

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY MARILYN!!!!
We hope you have the best day and the most treats and the constant attention that you deserve! But then - that's how every day should be, right?
And what a wonderful picture of you, Marilyn! You remind me of our Mrs. OZ - she is a total Velcro Cat, and gets along fine with us as long as we give her her space, and greats visitors, and is mostly white, hahahahahahahahahaha!
We are very happy to have met you, and the other Ballici, and now we will look around the house and see of we can find some party treats - as it is your Gotcha Day we naturally assume there is a party going on here, right???
Your friend Karl.
And Mrs. OZ, Tintin, Naughty and Luna.
Yes, please add us to the chorus. Happy Gotcha Day, beautiful Marilyn!
