Greetings. I am Mehitabel and I live with my servant and the noisy one.
You may remember that this was one of the first pictures of me on this blog:
![Uh oh...](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t6u097YunFlxL3Ih0dPFoqswVHfvxZBroGFp-mXt2vU5aPkbXgInl7euNhxuC7LIB5JTjtPjEaGl6ihFDrUyvFwyYRQSXUHrvK3pJBwTDIR044c9SFCE2SZlP3OoOaTw=s0-d)
Well, I have been much too busy to blog - I had to get this house in order, train my servant (good help is so hard to find), teach the noisy one a few things, and grow.
Grow? The servant was told that I was full-grown when I came to live with her. She was also told that I was a short haired cat. I settled in, got rid of my fleas, and set about my plan.

The servant began to notice something about me. Something suspiciously FLOOFY:

I was then a small cat with a floofy tail. But then I started to grow, and my furs started to grow, until something suspiciously like cataloons were noticed by the servant.

The servant, who for some reason knows more about dogs than cats, began to read about cat breeds. She was looking for a breed with a long, floofy tail, ear floof, cataloons, and a flat long coat. Someone mentioned Maine Coon. And the light began to dawn in her slow, human consciousness. I was not a small, full-grown, short-haired cat. I, Mehitabel, descended from Egyptian royalty, am a Maine Coon.

The servant says she's going to need to get a bigger cat carrier.
