I don't remember much about my life as a kitten, other than I think I had 3 brothers and sisters. I used to live in a small house far away from where I live now.  

My new Mom and Dad came to visit the man that lived in the house. Mom called  

him her brother. They were there for just a few days and when they left, they took me with them.  

My name use to be Dora the Explora, but Mom and Dad both said no way. I remember them talking as we came to the new house, where I live now. I'm still not 100% sure how I got here. I remember Dad picking me up and putting me under his coat. Then he sat down and there was a humming sound and the next thing I knew they were walking toward my new home. Somewhere along the way Dad renamed me Storm and he keeps saying to Mom that he sured picked the right name for me. Whatever that means. 

I remember Dad putting me down on the floor and there in front of me were two more cats, like me, only way bigger. Well I wanted to say hello, so I ran toward them and they both ran away, which was ok because there were toys all over the place. I mean this place was a regular playground for cats. Balls and stuffed toys and balls and squeaky toys and balls with bells and this tunnelly thing with another ball on the end of it. 

I was in heaven. I ran and jumped and jumped and ran and chased the other cats around. Aunt Phoenix wasn't nice at first. She just snarled and hissed. Mom called her a bitch, whatever that means. Uncle Shadow was a lot nicer. He just kinda sniffed me over and washed my head.  

And there was this wonderful thing that would light up and was really warm. I later learned it was called a fireplace. 

My first day was so exciting. I got to explore the house and it was way bigger than the other one I lived in. I had my own bowl for wet food and there was dry crunchy food and a bowl of water. Dad also showed me where the poopy pan was and I peed right away. That seemed to make Dad happy. As time went by I learned that Mom and Dad were easy to please. 

Later Mom and Dad went upstairs, where I had not been and they lay down with me, made me my own special bed between them and I went to sleep.  

They both petted me and told me they loved me.  

I purred. It was good. I was home.
