   Saluti!

    I am Giacomo Ghirardelli, and I have wandered into this home from nearby fields where my kitty mama, nicknamed Ghirardelia (since she is a chocolate Siamese) led me to the place she had visited on occasion and found the food and shelter suitable for her baby to reside. Mama comes by to visit almost every week, and my people would still like to have her stay like me and be spayed and vaccinated. At first, I was just a blur when I spotted the big people, since I could not be sure if it was safe to go near them. After several weeks, my stomach got the best of me and I wanted to join the other kitties at the home, so I made my move to the feeder while the big people were there and after about two more weeks let them pet me without my fleeing the scene. As you can see, several weeks on I was the star of the show and like to pose for my portraits for the world to see. The big people were surprised to find out I was a boy, since they had been calling me Gigi. Now I'm still "G.G." but I was given a proper Italian boy-name by Big Mikey, a friend of my people. As you can see in my second photo, with the coming of winter, my fur has become really long and thick, thus my recent nickname, "Wooly G".

    I have several adopted brothers and sisters at my new home, and they are just starting to accept me, I think. My two new big brothers Homer and Midnight would slap at me and chase me at first, but now they are getting used to my being here, although they still think I'm a pest. My new sister Pecky, a Siamese tabby mix, is very curious and likes to play, but she has a mean streak and has bitten me in the behind several times. If they get too rough, the big people scoop me up, doctor my bites and give me extra lovies. I recently had to go somewhere called the "vet" and he gave me something that made me sleepy and I woke up later really sore in my behind, but the big people comforted me and said it was for my own good and that I would want to stay home this way. Ouch!

    Now I have a new little sister who has started to reside like I did. She is a tiny, pretty little muted calico and has been coming up in the evenings and playing with me. Her name is Sugar Baby and I hope she moves in to stay soon. She is very timid and will not go near the big people yet, but I'll have a talk to her about the "benefits" package (except for the part about the "vet").

   Arrivederci!

   G.G.
