Neko Welcomes you to His blog

Hello humans...I'm Neko, Royal cat of Siam, and exactly 3 years 6 months and 18 days ago I enriched the world with my presence. Four months later I was taken from my mother, all my siblings had already been taken and I knew I too would be stolen away from her. I met my new family and the girl, my Erin-human. My Erin-human is pretty good for a human, she could use a little work, particularly when it comes to feeding me on time (on time being whenever I want her to). She seems to at least some times comprehend what I ask of her, most humans don't have the intelligence to learn a language beside their verbal one. There were five other humans sharing me and my Erin-human's dwelling but they are undeserving of my time except for the occasional attention they beg for, I know I'm only teaching them to beg more but I can't help myself sometimes. I did have one other being whom I trusted, although he was not any type of human I've ever seen. He was, at my time of arrival, 12 times larger than I and the color of the night, my Erin-human called him Max. He had a thin layer of fur and a long tongue. I slept with him when my Erin-human was not in our dwelling or when she was being cruel by denying my request for cuddles, as baby kittens often need these things. Two years I lived in peace with my Erin-Human, my Max-beast and the other various humans whom share our dwelling, playing, cuddling and having endless conversations that I made an effort to speak in their human language so they could understand. I followed my Erin-human from room to room so she could protect me and so I could reap the benefits she offered such as ear and chin scratches or a game of tag.

Then they went and wrecked it.

One afternoon in late Summer my Erin-human arrived home from her usual early day travels. She was extra happy, glowing with excitement. She rubbed me down and vocalized frantically at me with a smile across her face. She called for Max-beast and they went outside briefly, he seemed excited too but it was blind excitement. My Erin-human paced in the kitchen then through the house frequently speaking to the only other human home, Brian-human. The two other young males, Danny-human and Matt-human, had left the home although their visits were frequent and welcomed by the remaining four humans. Then my Erin-human ran to a window, tense with anticipation and The Father walked in carrying a box which screamed. Never had I seen such an evil device, what it could contain I did not know so I ran to protect myself in hopes my Erin-human would follow but she did not and I was alone, in hiding. I heard a door close and silence, then a long held whine from Max-beast. Had it killed them? I waited only moments more before seeing what had come of my family. I walked down the hall to where Max-beast stood at the entrance to Brain-human's lair, the entrance had been closed off except for a small space below the blockade. I peered under but could make nothing out so I sniffed and that's when I smelled it, my mother, my mother who I had lost 2 years before. So I called to her and waited, less than four second before the blockade shook and two small paws jetted out towards me from the space below. NOT my mother at all, a small creature of evil had come to try and take my family was trying to kill me, so I ran.
That was the beginning of the end for me. It was not an intelligent creature, if given the chance I would have killed It but they would not allow me to. A week passed before I first met It directly, I crouched planning my attack but it leapt on my back before I got the chance. What was wrong with It? Didn't It know I was dangerous? No It wanted to play. I shook It off of me and sniffed it down. It was young, just a baby actually, and feline, my own kind...but more than that It was my blood brother. They called him Lily.
Fast forward to now, one year and 6 months later, the creature who they now call Willie still stays here. He is an annoying creature, takes up far too much time with MY Erin-human and lacks the perception of personal space. But I can beat him up so I tolerate him. Now that Max-beast left us he is my only day time sleeping buddy so I must ignore my dignity and lay with The Willie.

For the record...I am bigger, smarter, faster and more loved by my Erin-human than he is. I hope that this blog of mine will help you all to understand the grief this creature causes me, all the happy moments he destroys for me. I am also out to prove that not all humans are as stupid as they first seem, although so far I'm not having much luck with that. Primarily this is a journal of my life...
