HUMLAN - eng
Hi,
My name is Humlan and I am a house cat (domestic cat), but mum and dad sometimes call farm cat. I was born in Ersmark in northern Sweden but I moved, as a young kitten, to mum and dad in Stockholm. It was scary to fly all the way, so from the airport and home so I slept. When we got home, I had to go to the litterbox. And what a fine litterbox they had. Big and beautiful with a roof and lots of sand to dig in.
 At the time, Uncle Valle with us. He was a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very old and had lived with his mum since the dinosaurs! He was not too happy with me, but I loved him very much. He later moved to dad’s parents. Where his is now I do not know, but one day mum was really upset and she was looking at pictures of him and cried a lot.
 A few months after that Valle had moved mum and dad came home with a little kitten that they found somewhere. They said his name was Totte but his real name is really strange. That’s because he has something called a pedigree.
I tried to explain to him that he did not live here and that he should go back to where he came from but he did not understand. I was so angry with mum and dad because they did not understand that he could not live here. After two days I realized that I had to deal with Totte and raise him. It was not easy, I say. When Totte got a little bigger mum and dad begun take him to cat shows. And after a few times they brought me too. We had to sit in a small cage almost all day. Then mum took me over to a table to meet with an uncle named Jorgen. He twisted and turned me around, looked at me and then said that I was number one. Mum and dad were very happy. I thought they already knew that I am number one! After that it was more uncles and aunts who would look at me, with a lot of people around. It was scary, but now I've done it lots of times so it's not as scary. I have even won major prizes, more than the pedigree cats at home. After my great success last winter, in the senior class, so I got retired.
Then mum and dad did it again! Dragged home a kitten! This was one was called Flingan. But this time I had to put down all my paws! I did not want to raise this one to; it was Totte’s time to do it. She came with some attitude problems but I quickly got that out of her!
 Totte took the parenthood with enthusiasm and the result is better than I ever would have thought. Flingan proved to have more in common with me when she got a little bit older. Like sitting on the balcony even when it’s cold outside and things like that. One day she went away and later came home with a big belly and after a few weeks there were two mini-Flingor! Don’t know what happened??? Totte who was so good with Flingan immediately took care of the little ones. When they got bigger and old enough I taught them some important stuff. One of the kittens moved but Ängsull stayed with us.
Believe it or not, but then another female cat came to us, and one day she also had a big belly. A few weeks later there were three little kittens at home. Totte took care of them. Flingan got sick of everything and she moved. Dad and mum say she is staying with another family and lives like a queen now. Lucky that I am the queen here, otherwise I would also move. I would move to mum’s dad, uncle Bärrt. He is the greatest of all human beings!
It will certainly be more kittens in our home.... but I'll probably get them well behaved, as I managed with all the other kittens!
