Happy Second Gotcha Day, Giovanni!

Hi everybody!

It's mes, Giovanni! Guess what today be?!

It be my SECOND GOTCHA DAY!!!! Can yous believe it? Mama says hers can't believe it's been two years already! Hers tells mes it was like yesterday when hers broughted me home as a 10-week-old kitten. Hers likes to show off de photo she took of mes the day wes met. Here it be.

Giovanni the day I met him In June, 2023.

Mama has had lots of fun getting to know me the past two years! Some things have changed over time while others have not.

Me still loves belly rubs! Mama is convinced mes learned to love belly rubs by watching Tylan. Me didn't ask for any belly rubs at my foster home when me met Mama, but after me saw Tylan demanding them, me started demanding them, too! Now me demands Mama rub my belly numerous times a day.

Giovanni
Giovanni loves belly rubs and requests them numerous times each day.

Me still loves my favorite spot on de big cat tree. Me has always loved de second to highest spot on de tree. Me can sunbathe and watch out de window from there. 



My favorite toys are still little plastic springs, but me doesn't bring them back to Mama very often to throw for mes again anymores. Me also loves to play with de wand toys when Mama gets them out every night after hers does de dishes.

Me is curious, smart, patient, sweet, and adorable, Mama says. 

It has been a hard year for mes (and Mama) with Tylan being hospitalized, mes having to have a cancerous toe amputated, and Tylan going to Rainbow Bridge, but Mama and I still have each other, and me is thankful for dat! Me is thankful that Mama listened to mes and adopted me from my wonderful foster mama. Me has all de love a kitty could ask for, plenty of food to fill my belly, and lots of fun toys to play with. 

Mama says hers is bringing home something special soon and hers says hers thinks mes will really be a happy mancat about it. Me wonders what it could be!

Me loves my forever home and Mama and all of my wonderful friends who visit mes here and on my Facebook page! Thank you all for taking this journey with mes!

Giovanni
Giovanni loves to hang out on his cat tree to sunbathe and watch what's going on outside the window. 

From the Mom: Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, Giovanni! I love you so much, my sweet little mancat! You came into my and Tylan's life right after we lost precious Carmine for a purpose - to help us heal and to help us remember to smile and enjoy life. You lifted my and Tylan's spirits so much when we were grieving and you continue to make me smile every single day. Thank you for being your wonderful self! 

Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, Giovanni!!
