Hello all, I'm Diamond. The beautiful brown tabby you see before you, hugging that little runt of a kitten. This all started a few months ago when I was the only queen in my kingdom. At home, I started getting bored and I started exploring more in my home. My mom called it "rebeling" and started thinking I was "lonely". My mom works with animals everyday. But this particular day she comes home screaming about how she "saw the cutest little kitty" blah blah blah...it sickened me. A few days later, mother walks through the door with that scary cat carrier thingy. In the death trap was the runt...ugh, it devastated me. We did not get along for a few weeks, more so because I was being mean. But, after a while I started smelling her and watching her and she seemed okay. I guess she isn't bad, now I have someone home all the time to talk to, to play with, and she licks my face so good!! She loves playing, I have to be easy with playing with her because her foots missing but that's all the more reason to love her. Truthfully, my mom should have gotten me a friend a long time ago. I'm actually glad she waited because it wouldn't be the same if i wasn't sharing my kingdom with chrissy my new best friend!
