The life and the Times at Calico Junction

Black Friday

Well here it is, that day when all our Humans get up before we get a chance to have the 4 a.m. crazies, What is with that?

Peaches said, that is when they go to meet Santaclaws and get those wonderful Kitty gifts. Well I sure hope Petsmart was the first stop. We already have a big TV, now we need some new perches to sit on so we can all watch Animal Planet up close. We want good seats to watch Sunrise Earth too. We love the birdies. The sound will be super then. The bird will be right in our rec room. I can almost feel the breeze from their wings brushing by me. Come on Santaclaws, How about a SoundBar too.

Amber was the ottoman hog yesterday. I thought, I would get a turn. No, that Sweeny took over, laying there all evening, looking at the fireplace. What a bummer.

Sophia spent her day playing musical Beds. The humans lite the fireplace and put three big kitty beds in front of it. Sophia was the only one who slept in them. All of them. Every hour she was in a different one. All day long. What a crazy sisfurrr.

Male human sat in Peaches rocking chair and watched some guy called James Bond, all day. Girl human sat and watched also. She only went on Catster for a little bit, this Bond person must be important. Then they watched a Movie called Swordfish, I watched and never did see any fish.

I don't know why they watched this Bond guy, he didn't even have a Cat.
All he did was make very loud noises and was always running away from some other Human. Then he would have a cat fight and run some more.

Where was Animal Planet? I heard, most of the day was dog stuff, and a dog show. What about us. We have Thanksgiving too, where's the CATS and the BIRDIES?

Well we did get to eat well. We had a nice can of Turkey and a taste of the Humans Shrimp and Fish feast. They didn't have anyone over so they had a nice fish dinner.

Poor Scarlet had a bad morning and we thought she may not be able to have a taste of Mahi Mahi, Sole or Shrimp. She did get a very tiny taste of each. She was very happy and sat with Girl Human the rest of the night.

The guys outside got to enjoy a nice day, we only got a small shower about 5:30 and most of them had gone into their houses by then to get their Turkey Dinner. Morgan, our snow bunny, and Bella(Portabella) were the only two who refused to have Thanksgiving dinner with the rest of the family.

The Humans are leaving us Sunday. They are going to Daughter Humans house, for dinner. They said they will bring us our Turkey then. We all will have our Real Thanksgiving Sunday.

Right now we are having wind. There is funny white stuff falling out of the sky , called Snow. It is not turning the ground white, which the Humans are happy about.

Well looks like today may be another fire in the fireplace day. Wow this is so great, Humans are home. Girl Human has her briefcase out. Peaches decided to make a bed out of it. Guess Girl Human will have another day off, no work today, thanks to Peaches.

Hope all our Catster Friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving and get to spend lots of time this weekend with their Furkids. Have a good one.

3 years ago Suzie Q went to Rainbow Bridge

Girl Human misses Suzie Q (1019413) so very much on this day. Three years has gone and it only seems like yesterday since I held her that one last time. We know she has lots of Catster friends on the other side of Rainbow Bridge. She loves to play with the butterflys and toy mice. These were a few of her favorite things that she loved so much..

Thank you one and all for trying to help us find Boots. We did learn that back in July Boots said that a chronic resp. condition was causing problems. I only hope that was not the reason for leaving Catster. I feel that kitties need friends no matter where they are. Their Humans need them too. We are all so happy to have our friends here at Catster. I guess you could say that is our Thanksgiving Thanks.

Scarlet seems to be doing well with the Medication. We ask that everyone will cross our paws and hope that she does better this time.

We wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. May all you kitties get lots of whip cream on your Pumpkin Pie.

Scarlet can't wait she is already begging. She is sitting on the counter helping Male Human roll out the dough, as Girl Human types this message to all of you.

YUMMMMY this is one of our most favorite time of year. Humans home for the Holidays. FOOOOOOD YUMMMMMY FOOOOOD.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE.

What happened to Boots?

Remember when I was in a panic because I lost contact with Catster and they told me they were going to cut off contact with us at Calico Junction? Well it was some computer glitch and changing my e-mail address to them fixed the problem.

While I was out of contact I lost a very good friend and I need your help to find out what happened to Boots 1009387 from Guttenberg/Millville IA. If this cute tuxedo kitten with blue eyed had left me a message during that time in mid Oct. it was lost. I sure hope that the cute kitten is OK. Does anyone Know? I have a picture on my Guest book on Sweenys page if you want to see those beautiful eyes that were still blue at 6 months of age.

The last thing I heard was on Oct. 11th, that Boots was playing in the fall leaf pile in his yard. I sure hope Boots is OK.

Rain for another Day they say.

All the kitties who get to go out, got to go out today. It was raining but we all were going crazy. Girl Human decided to run to the Post and Food Lion and was met at the front door by Polly. Polly was insisting that she could come in the main house to dry off.

Girl Human put her back outside in the drizzle and told her to meet her at the back door. Polly was waiting at the back door and was ready to go back in her house. Several more ran in also. Dipsey and Decker normally will stay out until 9 or so at night. Not today. 47 degrees and yuck made up several kitty minds most only stayed our for a few hours.

Girl Human has a call in to the Vet, he is off today. Scarlet has lost a very small amount of weight she is concerned. Scarlet seems fine but weight loss she does not need. New meds may be in her future. I hope she has better luck next round. MOL.

More Rain!

Yes some of you are crying for rain and we have more then our fair share this week. We need rain but not this much. Since our rivers are so low and our cave rivers are down this rain has not cause any flooding yet.

Our cave rivers fill first then our above ground rivers start to fill. The real problem is that areas north of us are lowerelevation and the cave rivers cause flooding there.

We have not heard anyone having problems yet. Just a few sinkholes on the interstates. One did cause a major wreck, after several cars ran through it and got flat tires. Then it got bigger.

The temp. is 42 degrees and that is a nasty temp when it has been raining for 3 days and nights. Sunday we to see the sun and 69 degrees.

Will sign off now as I am cold and want to join the Humans in the nice warm bed.

Yesterdays diary had a wrong number for Kitcat. I have corrected it now. Check it out and if anyone would like some nice cat friends check yesterdays diary entry and get the kitty info so you can give them a shout or invite.

I know they would be so thrilled to hear from all our friends,and your friends also. Have a good night. Burrrrrrrr I off to bed everyone. Good night.

Kitty Friends who want NEW FRIENDS

I have kitty friends who would love to meet other Catster Friends
Give them an Invite they are super nice kitties.

Paine (1011747)

Daantje (1007273)

Kit Cat and Squirrel (1012010)

They are waiting to meet you.

Rain and Cats 101

Rain did anyone want rain? We have a lot more then we need. We will be glad to share it with all you kitties who have not had enough rain as of late.
We have 4 inches and 3 to 4 more to come.

We are all getting ready for the Animal Planets Cat-a-thon this comming Saturday night. Starting at 7 pm. Cat Housecalls then Cats 101 until 2 am. We are getting catnip pop corn and tuna soda pop.

Scarlet has already pulled her bed up to the front on the T.V. so she can get the best view. Pooh has reserved the palm tree foot stool. I am going to be by Girl Human on the arm of her chair. She is off Sat. and we are all going to be ready for the event. Girl Human is also recording it on demand so if we fall a sleep we can watch it later.

What are you going to do? Are your ready?

Leaves, Christmas and Veterans

We won't be saying that soon. Today is to be in the 70's what strange weather. Male Human got out this big box and sucked up all our fun(leaves) yesterday. It sure was noisy. We all hid while he made so much noise. But ha ha, the leaves are coming back today. Male Human just stands there and stares at them. Humans are sure strange.

Girl Human watched Cats 101 on the Animal Planet last night. It was a real good show. We watched it with her. There was one kitty from Michigan,who got locked up in a shipping container. 30 days later he was in France. Even his Humans had never been to France. It is on Sat. night at 9pm. Tell your Humans you want to see it. Lot of cute kitties.

Things have been on a normal path the last few weeks. Girl Human's daughter is back to collage. She is trying to study laws, what ever they are. Girl Human said that she could translate, as written law was done by dyslexics. easy for her to understand.

Scarlet is doing well, she is happy and up to her normal tricks. She has not lost anymore weight and has gained a fraction. Sweeny seems to be putting on a little more, but the Vet does not seem to mind his little gain.

We are all enjoying the Sun now that most of the leaves have fallen. That is the best part of winter. We get lots of sun in the front of the house all day long. We can see the Blue mountains also. They sure were Blue last night. There was not a cloud in the sky yesterday, so clear.

Girl Human had Christmas music on yesterday. She put out a village with white glitter houses, blue and white LED lights. It has little Humans skating around and around and around. We watched it. It made us feel uckie.

Christmas already, come on.... She put it by the fireplace where our one water dishes was. She said it was for us, some how we are not sure. I guess that is OK? We have not even had out Turkey yet. Girl Human said we won't have one. Girl Humans daughter will not be here for Thanksgiving. What about us we like turkey?>>>> We could have Two Christmas's TOYS, LOTS OF TOYS, YES THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO US>Well we are a kitties, We can dream.

Have a beautiful weekend everyone. Happy VETS day to all you who served. A special thanks to the WIVES also. They served too. People seem to forget that.

The day after all the ghosties

We hope that all of you had a Happy and safe Halloween. Since it was on Saturday there were so many parties and kids did not have to go to school.
More Moms and Dads were involved with their childs fun. All the towns around us had something for everyone. So in turn, we had no Trick or Treaters. We never get more then 12 or 15. So this year we had 20 very large chocolate candy bars left. The Humans gave some away today. Since kitties don't eat chocolate, we will not get to share. Girl Human gave us some licks of sour cream yummmmy gooooood.

Mail Lots of Mail

Wow thanks everyone Pooh is so happy, he is not biting me any more. We have been getting mail, mail, mail. Thank you. We have all new mail. All of the kitties at Calico Junction are so happy.

Halloween Eve.

Hello all you future Ghosties and Spooky Kitties. We are glad to be here on the Halloween Eve. Just a short While on the East Coast until it is Halloween.

We hope that our mail problems are behind us. We never received any of our mail that was sent from the 22nd until last night. If you did send a message and you have not received an answer please send it again. We would love to receive it. All our mail is important and comments also.

Scarlet was doing well this eve. She and Pooh ran around the house for a few minutes and she did real well. Sat. is weigh in day. Hope she has improved. She looks like she may have gained some weight. Cross the fingers.

Calico Junction has some New Catster Friends. Calico Junction are their only friends. I sent them the directions on how to set up their information on the kitty pages.So should have a full page soon. The names are Daantje(1007273), Tobies and Flush(no page for Flush so far). They are located in the Netherlands. They sent me a message today and would love to have some New Friend invites. There is a little History on Daantje's Diary.

We are sorry we could not give everyone we know a Halloween Pumpkin. Our Pumpkin Patch has been picked bare.

I have already told a few people that Pooh has Reserved a spot under the Humans bed. He has placed all his favorite toys in the spot and it looks like he is going to spend a lot of time under there Halloween night.

Happy Halloween and may you all get lots of Catnip treats and fur mousies. Enjoy.

Our Mail mess up

Today I received a notice from Catster that my Email will not accept any mail from Catster. Catster said that if I did not give them another address to use that they would not be able to EVER communicate with me again.
I got a new address on Yahoo, but have not received anything as of yet. I am heart broken. I want to hear from all my Catster friends so much. I hope everything will work out Friday.
I am still receiving my messages through Paw Mail. I have not received anything about the gifts that I we are receiving. I keep checking and trying to catch them, so I can thank everyone. Please forgive us for not being so prompt in thanking everyone. We do hope everyone has a super safe weekend. Watch out for the Ghosts and Spookie things. Your friends at Calico Junction.

Any body out there?

Halloween is so close and all you Catster's must be busy. My email has be so quite. Is it broke? Pooh keeps biting me because he had not had any messages.

Be sure to check out our Fall Photo's. Happy Halloween.

Fall

Yes people it is Fall at Calico Junction. There are pictures posted on several pages. CHECK THEM OUT. This was not the best year. Fall came on Thurs. and was gone by Sat. so we had to be quick in getting photos for all to enjoy.

Sylvester and the cars are still getting little animals. The cars are killing them and Sylvester is catching them. We hope it stops soon. Girl Human has been chasing Sylvester so he will drop his catch.

Scarlet has been improving every day. She gets small fits of running, but doesn't go for long. She must rest after just a short run. She is smiling more now.

I would like to say that we all are sorry if we missed any Thank you notes for all our nice gifts and prayers. We have been having a problem with the E mails. We are receiving them a week plus. Sounds like regular U.S. Mail Service.

Have a super Halloween. We all are excited to go trick or treating. We are going as Humans. Girl Human is going as a Black Cat. Male Human is going as a Doberman.

We hope your weather is nice. Be safe. Have fun. Your friends at the Junction. P.S. turn back those clocks.

Girl Human Home Early

Wow we all get to have a lazy evening with Girl Human. She came home after 2 hrs. of work. Something broke down and the part will not arrive for 24hrs. and don't know if she will have to work Tues. Know when she calls in the morning.

Scarlet was so happy tonight, she was walking around happy. She even did a small sprint across the rec. room. She seemed to have that famous devil smile on her face. She was holding her tail high. I think all those prayers are working.

Girl Human put her on the scale and she was just.01 above what she was last week. She has not lost any so we are real happy with that. We just take one day at a time. She does seem to act more like our Scarlet, now. She has been keeping her food down.

Sweeny was so happy today, we had a Friend sign the guest book. We don't have a lot who have signed it and it was such a nice surprise to have our new friend Sylvester P from Ohio sign in.

Paine said that things are doing better. Her Mommy is going to skip the rest of the shows for the season. Paine is glad to hear that, I bet. Stop in and visit Paine's page(1011747) and become a new friend, they would be so happy.

Sylvester has been on Girl Humans bad side the last few days. He has killed two Squirrels and leaves them for her, in the early morning at the back door. We have had more squirrels killed on the road this week also.

Lucy caught a bird yesterday too, but we were able to save that one and it flew away. Since the cats are in at night the wildlife thinks it is clear to roam in the safe zone. Not wise. Girl Human told Male Human not to let them out when he leaves in the morning. Hope that will give them more time to do what they want, before the guys come out.

Once again Thank You for all the well wishes and prayers. I really believe Miss Scarlet has been helped, keep thinking of her, if you would.We hope that all our friends are doing well this week. For those who need a little support, we will say a prayer for you. Good night for now dear friends.

Scarlets Better?

We are still waiting for Fall here. The weather feels like it now, but the leaves are mostly green. We have had some falling off without the beautiful colors that we normally have. Hope it will not be one of those Brown Outs. Even a brown falls can be beautiful, did not realize how many shades of brown leaves could turn. We have had cold nasty rain most of the week. We do need the rain. At least it is not snow like Penn. is having. They are having no Fall at all. Poor things.

We all have our fingers crossed. Girl Human stopped Scarlet's Thyroid Medicine as Girl Human felt that, that was the problem all along. She stopped it last Sat. and she has only thrown up ones since Sunday night. The odd thing is she does not seem to act like she has a thyroid problem now. She is quite happy and acting normal.

Girl Human canceled her Vet appointment and will give her a week or two to see how it goes. She will be weighed Sat. to see if there is any improvement there. We will have her thyroid checked in a few weeks to see if she needs meds or not. I believe all those prayers that everyone has been giving has helped her the most. Thank you everyone.

We have a few new photos on some of our pages to share. Hope all is well with you and we want to give a special thank you to our good friend Paine and hope you are feeling tip top shape real soon.

We all hope Taffy is doing well. We hope we will hear from her soon. We love seeing her picture updates.

Thank you everyone once again for all the kind words and prayers for our Clown, Scarlet.

A much better Day

Today was a rest day for all us inside kitties. Girl Human got the help of all the guys outside. She potted more plants for the greenhouse. They also helped Male Human install a electric plug for the dog house heater. He hopes Spa will sleep in it, on the cold nights. He placed it on the new porch he built this summer.

Scarlet had a fare day today. Only got sick once. Girl Human didn't give her her meds today. She is going to call the vet in the a.m. She thinks it is the Meds that cause all the problem. The Vet did not think so last time.

The Vet told Girl Human that he really likes Scarlet. She is so cute and quite a spit fire. He says that with a laugh. She sure > spits fire< when she visits him.

We are glad to say that the Humans are getting back to normal. We thank everyone who have sent their prayers, gifts and kind words.

During all the happenings we forgot Spa's Birthday. We did not remember until Catster sent a Happy Birthday Wish. He didn't seem to mind. We gave him a special dinner and some fresh catnip. He seemed very happy with that. Kitty Cye helped him with the catnip.

All the Fall Festivals are on now and there are a lot of visitors to the area.We have been seeing more traffic out our way so we have to keep the guys in more now. We saw three squirrels hit on our road yesterday. We are on a dead end road too. Cars are to go no faster then 25 mph, but some people don't care.

The guys may be happy about being in tonight as it is to be 37 degrees. That is our coldest night so far. It was in the 90's 3 days ago. Strange.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Your friends at CJ.

WHAT ELSE CAN HAPPEN ?

Girl Human has been surfing Catster and has seen several kitty friends who have been having a bad few weeks. Our prayers go out to one and all. We have been tagged and we need to get to that Sunday, Sorry.

Scarlet is still not doing very well. She is not able to keep much down and the weight is still coming off. The special canned food the Vet gave her has not worked. She has been eating some green beans. We have had to take up the food for everyone. Scarlet eats to much and then gets sick. We are now working on very small meals at a time. That does well one time and then not to well the next time. It is hard giving her meds as she gets sick so often.

WHAT ELSE CAN HAPPEN?

Male Human had a flu shot and now he is sick. To top it off he was working in his mothers attic and cracked a rib. The Doctor forgot to call and tell him. He didn't know it until he was almost over it. He did have a few choice words for his doctor needless to say. He has not been sleeping very well and he is worn down. Poor Thing.

Girl Human is back to work and busy trying to get ready for winter. The greenhouse plants grew so much this year. They will not get to go outside next year. Potting them into very large pots that will not move. It is the only option now. Frost warnings for next week. Must get to it all now.

The trees are still full of green leaves so not many fall pictures for you now. Should be soon.

Pooh has been marking his Stove and freezer because he is upset. We have had to give him is drugs too.

All the other Kitties have been doing well and enjoying the last beautiful days of Summer. They enjoyed helping our neighbor with their yard sale. Sylvester had to show people how comfy the chairs were that they had for sale. He worked hard for two days and now all he has been doing is resting. I don't know if they ever sold the chairs.

Thank you to all who have sent well wishes for all of us. We got to get on the go again as Fall is to pretty to miss here. Our best to all.

Some week at the Junction.

I first must tell everyone how sorry we are that we have missed so much this week. A lot has happened to our friends on Catster. Girl Human has been trying to catch up on all the Updates. Gifts and Ribbons have arrived this week and We have not given one Thank You. Now I must explain.

Last week Girl Human woke at 6am and was very ill. I sat on her chest and she told me to go hide under the bed. I did not know what she had in mind, so I remained. She told me that strangers would be coming in the back door. It was best that we all go hide she told me. I heard a noise out front of the house and did as she said. A big square thing with red flashing lights took my Girl Human away. Male Human was not there to stop them and we were all alone.

A few days went by and Girl Human returned with her Daughter Human. Daughter Human was upset and ran around the house cleaning up all the messes that Scarlet had left. Scarlet was sick and was getting thin. Girl Human went to bed and Male Human came home later and woke up Girl Human to make sure she was OK. Girl Human went back to sleep, so we all joined her. She did not even move, she slept so hard. The Human Vet gave her stuff to make her sleep. The Human Vet put a tube in her arm. It had stuff in a bag connected to the tube to make her feel better.

The next day Girl Human got up. Her Daughter came to do all the work for her as she had while she was gone. She is so very nice, she cleaned our litter boxes, brushed us and even sang to us. She gave special food and loved each one of us, and told us that everything would be OK . She gave special care to Scarlet and Sweeny. She said Scarlet had lost weight and that she needed to go to the Vet.

The next morning Girl Human felt better and called the Vet because Scarlet was still sick. She put her in that nice Black leather Carrier with the new carrier smell(now not as new) and took Scarlet away and came home without her or the carrier.

Girl Human told us that Scarlet had to spend the weekend at the Hospital to get a tube in her arm like Girl Human.She had more CHOICE advice for the Vet Dr.. Girl Human reminded her that, there may be kittens within hearing distance. She had to have some shots and she didn't care who heard what she had to say. Girl Human is to hear from the Vet Monday, if he is still alive. Girl Human said since we have heard nothing over the weekend that all must be OK for both of them.

Kitty Cye is jumping with joy as she was picked for, Cat of the week by C&TD Group. She received some ribbons and many nice messages. She is so thrilled. She has never had such a great thing happen in her life. All the Junction gang were talking, party.

We read on Diary Entry done by Newman(883236) on Sept. 28, 09 that was so cute. Called, Jewish Responsibilities, a must read if you have not. Our own Sieben left his comment plus many other.

Paine (1011747) has had some ups and downs and we will all pray for her. She has had a little of that, play time feel. This is good.

Taffy(1006975) has been having some good mews. May she keep having a weight increase.

For anyone who may have missed Scarlet's photos of her grooming day, don't laugh to loud at the pictures, she is still mad at Me for posting them.(1002455).

On some somber notes there was a Loss of our friend Molly Dutchess Marie (1046915). She went happily to Rainbow Bridge to meet all her new friends.

I also read Goldie (1046839) Diary Entry a tribute to her 18 year old Orange Sweetheart. It is very good. Stop in and read the page. THIS KITTY WAS SOOOOO LOVED.

Fall is around the corner and we have been having some cold nights. Most of our kids want to sleep inside now. They are not happy with the shorter days. They are all confused. Eastern Standard Time is next Month. NOOOOOO WE Want SUMMER, COME BACK.

We are always happy for comments and are so very happy we have so many readers. Hope all is well with all our Catster's and please say a prayer for those who are in need. Good night from all your friends at Calico Junction.

Help a Friend.

I just wanted to give a very important message. Our friend Paine (1011747) is in the kitty hospital and needs our prayers. Please stop in and wish Paine well. If anyone needs a nice new friend please give an invite. Paine has a very cute video for all kitties to watch. If you have a few min. stop in and visit Paine's page. Get well Soon.

WOW

I can't believe it, I have been picked for my diary entries. Daily Diary Pick, this is so Purrrrfect. I got the news just now. This is such a honor. We are all really happy. Having friends on Catster that really like our CRAZY LIFE. Here are some purrrs and licks for everyone.

The main Star, Scarlet has her head held up so high. She fell off the couch and landed on all fours. She flashed that smile and ran off. That in fact, was what she wanted to do, after all.

We all laughed at her. She just held her head up higher and flashed that cute little smile, put her ears back and did a mad dash up the stairs. Crash, bang swish, swish, swish(the sound of her nails slipping across the wood floors) that was all you could hear. Patter,Pat,Swish,Swish,Swish, Slam and down the stairs she came. Stopping in the hall running into the room, pausing as she enters(look at me, I'm important).

Jumping up on the couch, over the back. Pausing once again, ears down and off she runs. Repeating it all over. After all someone may have missed her funny antics.

She will be sure that no one will miss it this time. Again stopping as she returns, as she knows, it is a sign of importance. One last time she jumps on the couch. Laying down, doing one of those big---- long stretches. Now on her back, flashing just one more smile. She is so very proud. She is the center of attention. Now she says it is time for a much deserved nap. THANK YOU EVERY ONE, SO VERY MUCH. GOOD NIGHT, SWEET SCARLET>Purrrrs and to all a good night.

Scarlet is Back:

"Well all you Kitties, I am back," yelled Scarlet. "Here comes Trouble," replays Sweeny.

Yes she is back. Feeling super great. Ready for trouble. Girl Human has her hands full now.

First thing when Girl Human got home yesterday. There she was, sweet little Scarlet, standing on her hind legs begging to be picked up and hugged. Girl Human soaked it up. We knew there was going to be trouble as Scarlet looked over Girl Human's shoulder smiling. Yes smiling.

While Male Human was out painting the cat house ( he would not let Girl Human do it) Scarlet was having fun. She first started chewing the blind cords. Snap, went the bathroom, snap went the bedroom next. They were not to much fun. Girl Human had them tied down. Off to the utility room to pull the rubber band off of Sweeny's special food.

Running to the breakfast room with a big long rubber band hanging from her mouth, she ran under the table. We knew she was so very happy. With a big Smile, she teased Girl Human with a Purrrut sound. Off she ran, with Girl Human in pursuit. Scarlet run under the couch in the guest room. Waiting, until Girl Human got down on her knees. Zoom off she went, running like a happy rabbit on an easter sunday. Purrrut , Purrut, in her squeaky high pitch voice Purrut. Up the stairs, around the corner and down hall she bounced. Bang, running into the huge (should be litter box) tub. Purrut, out the door down the stairs thru the kitchen jumping up on the counter. Crash, Bang, into the sink. With all four feet landing in a bowl filled with water. Foot prints and water everywhere, Purrrrut. How happy she was.

Now she is cornered by Male Human, "AHH Ha, got it, you Stinker, said Male Human. Scarlet just smiled and ran away, Purrrut. >>>>>>>>>>>> YES SHE IS BACK. THE FUN BEGINS

Scarlet Update

Well now all the bad hissing is over and my not so favorite Human Mr. Vet called Girl Human to tell her that her diagnosis was correct, Hyperthyroid problems. He also wanted her to take an a awful tasting clear liquid twice a day for her gums. Since she already has bowl problems, the medicine made her have problems and her bottom was messy.

Girl Human had to groom her and she was Soooo mad. What was worse girl human took pictures of her and thought it was funny. She looked much better after, her fur was pretty again. Scarlet did get a big suprise in the mail that afternoon. She seemed to forget her bad morning when Girl Human opened the box and there were 2 BIG bags of her favorite food(Royal Canin 32 . Girl Human took a picture of her then too.

Spa has been doing real well. He had 2 sticky things in his fur and he let Girl Human pull them both out. He put his ears down and let her pull. He is really doing a turn around and wait to be petted each day. We hope we will be able to get him to the Vet soon. That may cause him to regress. We hope not.

Sat. is a big day as Girl Human is going to paint the walls in the main kitty house. Male Human does not like the color but Girl Human said he was not living there.Blue is happy to have something new for this winter. She can't use the color in the house, Male Human requested. So here comes the color of the year

Scarlet and the Vet

This week has come and gone. I (Annie) missed Girl Human so much. She was gone most of the night, working. On the 4th night I had to do something. Every night, Girl Human left us all alone. I had no one to help me with my diary. I protested. Thursday and gave her a love bite and a bunch of lick, lick ,licks, before she went out the door. That would make her feel guilty. I know she would think all night, about us. I was so mad. I used my best guilt licks too. She needs to fall on her knees and ask us to forgive her.

She better do better tonight. We have all decided if she leaves, the land mines will be waiting when she returns home. We all have been saving up all day, just in case.

I didn't tell Scarlet that I heard Girl Human talking to the Vet Human. She said Scarlet has been loosing weight, and not grooming herself. She has been acting like here hips and stomach are hurting. Girl Human said she thought it was Senior Kitty Ritus in the hips. So she made an appointment for Friday morning. Girl Human slept 4 hours.

Girl Human got that new cat carrier and Scarlets got to take it for a spin.
She didn't fuss as it is so soft and has that new Carrier Smell. She was lucky. Well she would have been, if she was not going to the vet.

Scarlet came back at 11 a.m. and was very mad. We all wanted to hear about the new ride and all she did was cuss. We have not heard her say such words for a very, very long time.

Girl Human called her daughter and told her about the trip. Of course, I stuck around to listen. She said that Scarlet had blood taken from her back leg. Scarlet had to be covered with a towel. She yelled very loud. But when they took the blood she didn't say a thing. When Girl Human asked the Vet if he was going to give her her shots. Scarlet protested calling him thing, that a ladyVan's should not say. He wanted to see what the blood work indicated first.

Scarlet had some gum inflammation. Her teeth were white and tarter free. She has a few less plus a missing fang. She did not want him to look at her hide end and let him know that. "That is my Private Parts," she yelled. HISSSSSS, HISSSSS,, YOUUUUUA, HISSSSSSS.

So now we wait until Sat. or Mon. depending on the Lab. and Scarlet can rest and eat. Scarlet got a gift from her good friend Taffy today, she was so glad to hear from her. Paine, we would love to hear from you. Tell us how your Cat Show did. Hope you got a ribbon.

We did have some good things happen this week. Spa is eating everything he can. He loves Fancy Feast and even let Girl Human pet him. He even purred. Pooh is his Psyco self. Sweeny weighs the same, Great for a diabetic kitty. He gets to go for his check up Sept.25th.

On the down side. The Calico Junction car broke down. It is a 1997 so it has it's problems. A wrecker is needed this time. So it will sit a while. Girl Human's little car also has a Check engine light on, Wonderful, just what Girl Human needs.

But all in all we are Happy. Lots of Purrrrrrrs to all our friends.

The Weekend With Humans

For some reason Male Human is here laying on our couch and Girl Human is sitting in my sleeping chair. They are laughing at that funny window that has all that different stuff in it. Stupid things called Rosanne, South Park, and Movies and marathons. What ever that is all about. They think it is funny anyhow.

We are funny, why not watch us instead? Peaches and Pooh are playing bear hug fight, Lick, Lick, Meow, Meow, dancing around and around. Thunk, Meow Meow, Lick, Hug Hug. What a funny way to fight. Male Human gets off the couch and goes to the kitchen. Run everyone, jump up and cuddle in like you have been there all day. Male Human returns 4 of us on the couch. Male Human has to move to the rocking chair. Better view of that window from there.

Sweeny's hungry, better go feed him, Girl Human. I (Annie) jump up and lay in the chair. All mine. Girl Human returns, "Move Annie," she demands. This is not fair, the others got the couch. I want my chair. "Girl Human go sit on the floor", I say to myself. She will not let me stay. "Ok you asked for it," I thought to myself. /Pen, Oh yes. Girl Human hates when I play chew the pen. That is not working, Lick Lick, Lick , Meow, not working. What is wrong with them.

Male Human tells Girl Human he is home until Tuesday." No, I want my couch," said Scarlet. "He has got to go," she demands.

Good he is busy, Door Bell? No, more Humans. Not good, less space for us. "When are they leaving?" asked Sweeny." Soon, I hope," said Pooh while he peered from under the bed. "We will all come join you, no where to stretch out, out there," said I. So we all slept under the bed until late in the night.

"Now they will play," said Peaches. "Yea the Midnight Crazys" Let's Play," said Amber.
"Better yet let us wait until, 4 a.m," said Pooh. "No let play now and then nap. Then we can all play again at 4" Amber said, smiling. "That sounds great" I replies happily. So now we wait. WE ARE GOOD ZZZZZ.

Missing the Party.

Birthday and Gotcha Club was having a party and we were all excited to go. Girl Human had to go get Litter and Food for us and did not get back until 4pm. She didn't get to turn on the computer until after supper at 7:25. The thing was a Snail. After much effort she got us to the party. We only had 15 min. Decker and Cye wanted to go swimming as well as Scarlet, but we were just too late. Pooh worked hard all day picking fresh catnip for his cake that he said he would bring. We left it for the few who were still there to take home. All our weekend plans seemed to go wrong. The three days off went fast and did not seem to get anything done. Well next weekend will go fast as we only have two days off.

Pooh in pooh pooh again.

Girl Human up early and took the station wagon for new brakes and other expensive stuff. Had to buy new tags also. Girl Human is not happy had to spend to much today. She was only gone for 3 hours.

But apon return, Pooh Bear ran around the house like he was ice skating on tip toes. Running and crying, jumping behind the curtains, yelling out a closed window. Peaches had enough, chasing Pooh and hissing at him. The two started rolling on the floor and Pooh sounding like he was being killed. Girl Human was sitting on the floor in the bedroom with one hand flat on the floor. Sweeny is laying beside her and Pooh comes in, sits by her hand. Sweeny reaches out, very gently and just touches the PSYCO KITTY and off like a bolt of lightening he went. Using Girl Humans hand, as a take off point, a spring board. Girl Human screams and everyone move out of the room in a herd. Claw marks of 4 toes a fresh on the back of her hand. The worst was the scratch between the fingers. She didn't say anything bad, just owowowowowowowow. "Psyco kitty needs a pill", says Male Human."No, Girl Human needs a pill, owowowowowowowowowowo,replies Girl Human. All in all, Girl Human is well, no deep damage, but she's going out to dinner and looks like she was the center of the cat fight. She was. Peaches was relentless, chasing Pooh all over, while Girl Human yelled owowowow. Pooh never got a pill his batteries ran out. Just an afternoon at the Junction.

Girl Human was very upset to go through all her photo's and only find one of Kitty Cye. She is so sweet, but is afraid of a camera. So that is the assignment of the week. Hound poor Cye.

Thank you friends for the nice notes for Kitty Cye. She is her old self now and love love love everything and eats eats eats. We all are better now.

A special thanks for the steak from Luke and Tully. She insisted it had to be grilled.

Well we must close, all the kitties are asleep but me and I must get my beauty sleep as we all have a big swim party to attend Sunday. Tell you more about it Sat. Have a good night.

A Week has passed?

Wow a whole week has buzzed by and what a busy one it has been. Girl Human is working 10-12 hr days and we have not been getting our hugs and kisses. She has been busy with Kitty Cye, she has not been feeling well.

Poor Cye, Monday Male Human fussed over her and checked on her often. She would only lay in her bed and would not eat for him. "She is not right," he said. "To the vet, if she doesn't start acting normal soon". "Maybe she misses Winston, he said.

Girl Human tried her hand the next day and got Cye to eat a little. Checked her for fleas, worms, bites,wounds, pains, but nothing. Cye took her little paws and held on to Girl Human's arm while purring and talking. Girl Human made her walk around, she seemed fine jumping back in her bed still purring and talking.

Next day Kitty Cye was feeling better, the litter box told the tail. She ate a large bird feather. Lucky for her she ate it tip first. It was whole and blue.So thanks for the problem solved. Now she is out with the rest and having fun again.

Friday was flea drop day. No one inside or out was safe. A few worm pills were also given. Not the best of weeks for us at Calico Junction.

The annual vet visits are coming up in September. Not a favorite month for the Junction either. Sweeny is due for is blood work. Girl Human bought a new carrier, some black leather and leopard thing. She thinks it is so cute. We think it is trouble. She put poor Sweeny in it and carried him around the house. That dumb cat thought it was fun. He did not want to get out. I think he wanted to go for a ride. What is wrong with that boy?

Girl Human has been off to help her daughter at her home. She came back smelling like strange cats. She said she almost can home with a cat she saw at a Petsmart. "We don't need any more," said Male Human.
"But his one leg is backwards and they want to cut it off, he uses it and it does not bother him" she explained. "That is not right," he answered." If it is not bothering him, Why in the world do they what to take it off? "he asked. "I have no idea, other then someone thinks it looks bad," she answered. "That is just not right, poor fellow," he said shaking his head.
"What is wrong with people?" he replied. "That is why I wanted to get him, he seemed perfectly content, but he looked so very sad," she said.
"God bless the little guy," he replied.

But he is right we can't have any more. We just don't have the funds. God bless the little fellow. So all we can do is pray for him and hope he will be found by the right person soon.

Girl Human has been looking at memorial stones for Winston but has not chosen one yet. All he has now is a cinder block. That will not be allowed for to long. Anyone have any ideas for a nice marker please let us know. We don't want a real small one, maybe 10 inch by12 or 15 and about $50.00 not to thin as we want it to outlast all of us.

We hope all our kitty friends are doing well and we love hearing from all of you, when you can. Please stop in and sign the guest book on 'Sweeny's page. We would love to have a special picture of all our friends. God bless all.

Remembering Winston.

We at Calico Junction would like to give a very special Thank You to our friends who stopped by and sent Spa special words for his friend Winston, who crossed Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

A special thank you to Leo, Taffy, Lady Thomas, Pixie Bell and more for the nice words you sent our Humans. They were greatly appreciated.

A special thank you to my friends Luke, Tully,///Keisha, Sylvester, Merlin and Ruby Tuesday.

Spa has a Diary today( Winston went to Rainbow Bridge)

Winston has left us and Spa's page has his story and Spa's diary has a few words about his friend.

A Sad Week;

Girl Human has been coming home to a sad thing each day. Winston, the stray who comes to visit has decided he needs to come here to die at the Junction. His story is on Spa's page. He has grown so weak and is eating very little and is so thin. The vet said that since is not our cat he can't help him leave for Rainbow Bridge. The law prevents him from helping him. He could be sued by the real owner. He does not seem to feel any pain. He has to be old. We have known him off and on for 7 years. He was full grown when we met him. He is very weak and getting weaker every day. He will be leaving us soon. He has stopped drinking water and only eats a teaspoon of food now and then.Will update as news arrives.

Hot Sunday;

95 degrees today, humid, blue skies. Lazy day. Humans left us alone. Yesterday was flea bomb day so we could not go in our houses all day.

Today Male Human watched that loud noisy thing. Girl Human left in her little car. Got Grandma Human and took her for a ride. Washed Grandma Humans car in the car wash. She also took Grandma Human to look at a Townhouse that is for sale. It was very pretty. Had a beautiful view of the mountains.

Girl Human is worried about the cat, Winston( his stories on Spa's page) who is from across the road.
He is not well. He is very thin and very old. She does not think he will last until winter. She has been feeding him special food several times a day but he will not put on weight. He is very unsteady when he turns around or walks. He still jumps on up high tables. He does not run up every time someone comes out the door anymore. He just lays and watches to see if you have food.

He sleeps in the grass at the side yard. The neighbor thought he was dead, because he sleeps so sound. I think he is somewhat deaf. He spends his day at the Junction and never goes home. His owners don't seem to care. A neighbor said that he has been around for many years. This the first year he has not gone after the young ladies.

All we can do is pray for him and keep him fed. We wormed him, gave him flea drops and feed him when he is here. He is affraid to be picked up and does scratch and bite if we try.

Girl Human not happy

Today Girl Human's daughter came to town and off they went to another town. They went to get us goodies. We all love goodies. But Girl Human did not bring us anything and she will report why.

I am mad. We went to two pet stores. First was a Pet Supply Plus. The Plus was the dirt and poop. The poor animals and fish. It was awful, water so cloudy, rotting bodies. The Small animal cages were awful. If this would have been dogs, there would be complaints. But since its just poor fish, reptiles, and small animals the SPCA doesn't get involved. They are Blind. What gets me is that Pet Supplies Plus is a chain and how could anyone be proud that they are working for this company.

In the second place was a sign, under new management. The young man behind the counter, smiled and asked if we needed anything. He seemed nice. But the manager should be FIRED OR JAILED. The poor kitties. They advertise they are SPCA cats. I HOPE NOT. If they were, the SPCA should close them down and take their cats. They had a litter in the box that was a large pellet and they could not cover their poop. SMEEELLL.

There were people just opening cages pulling out cats and not one employee to be found. Kids were pulling at the kittens and fighting over who should hold it. I opened a lizard cage and picked it up. Not one person showed up. This was a$100.00 lizard.

There were people all over with things in their arms and asking each other to look for things they wanted. The employees were downstairs. One behind the counter three in a huddle talking. Maybe they were planning their escape. The lizard I was holding, for a good 5 min. looked good but was on the wrong litter. If he eats the litter he will get impacted and die. Were is the SPCA in this town? Hiding? This store has been under new management for at least 4 months and nothing is clean. The door into the store was so bad that we used hand sanitizer when we got back to the car.
The floor was so messy and my daughter slipped in a big puddle of water, that had been there for a LONG LONG while.

This place wants Business? When I got home I twittered my anger. That made me feel some better. I am sorry to vent on anyone who reads this, but I need to. My poor babies got nothing today. When I buy for my cats I spend money and I guess these places don't need it.

Back to Work

Girl Human is finally giving everyone a rest. This is so nice we can lay back undisturbed. No smoochy, smoochy, hug, hug while we are trying to get our beauty rest. THEY ARE GONE.... THIS IS GREAT.... PARTY TIME....

I had reported before that Sweeny has a guest book. We invite anyone to stop by and sign it. I found out it was not working. I think it is working now. So please try again. Sweeny is waiting to see his visitors.

I have music on some of the pages now. BOY I'm big time now. What a Smart Cat I am. These little paws are going places.

A lot of new photos were added last week so if you missed them, you know your welcome to check all of us out.

Well Girl Humans off for three days ALREADY. NO REST AGAIN. Her she comes SMOOOOOCH, SMOOOOCH. Why were we born so cute. RUN EVERYONE RUN AND HIDE---SHE'S BAAAAAACK. PARTIES OVER.

The Test.

Girl Human took a test for me the other night to see The celebrity that I would match best to and it was of no surprise to anyone it was Oprah. We both like to get to the bottom of things and find out the true facts. It was Right On the mark, said Girl Human.

Girl Human has been busy getting ready for her return to work. After 5 weeks off it will be hard. We will all miss having her here. Now it will be Male Human feeding us in the evening. We get such a big dishes of food when Girl Human feeds us.

Girl Human washed the cars today, cleaned our houses and back porch. She says she is going to work to get a rest. A lot of things got cleaned while she was off. We will have to start working. Our hairs have to be put back in the right places again.

Sweeny has a guest book. Stop by and sign it when you can. Music has also been added to some of our pages. Girl Human got our pages pretty before she returns to work.

She put a page of pictures of a few of our Angels. They have gone to Rainbow Bridge several years ago. Titled Calico Junction's R.I.P.'s, Stop by and visit. We were so pleased to have known them and would like you to meet them.

Well good night to all our friends. From all of us at Calico Junction.

The Grape Hunt

Girl Human moved all the furniture today and cleaned. All the hair and litter we had worked so hard putting in the proper places was gone.

It all started last night when Girl Human dropped a grape on the floor. Male Human got the flashlight and looked for it. We all helped, but they didn't like us trying to find it. Girl Human went nuts when she saw the floor full of hair and litter. They never did fine the grape.

The first thing this morning we were told to leave. She wanted to do her work alone. We kept checking to make sure that she got everything cleaned.

She got out this stuff that smelled like Ucckkkk. When she was half done with the final mopping , Sophia arrived. She decided to stick her toy in the water dish and make it swim. Her foot was all wet so she shook it. She then decided to walk all over floor. I thought that the foot prints had added such a nice touch. Girl Human didn't like it, she ran around wiping all the beautiful foot prints away. Humans sure have strange ideas, when it comes to decorating.

We have decided that tonight we will start putting on our finishing touches. Girl Human can wake up to a big supriiiizzze. We can't wait.

The Club Party

Well we all jumped on the bus. We left Calico Junction for the first time in a long while. Icky ll was our driver. Sure we go to the Vet, but that is not a fun trip.
We all went to the Birthday and Gotcha Club Party. We all had a wonderful time. Blue stayed home to watch everything. He is not a party cat. I am was the over the top party cat. I love parties.
There were people there from all over. There was all kinds of food and drink and catnip. Amber was a little upset that there were no Aquariums to look at. I explained to her that this is a club house.There isn't a kitty there to watch it all the time.
Decker had a little litter box problem. We all told him to go to the box before he left, but like normal he forgot.
Sylvester had to tour the woods out back. He said the view was super. He was a little disappointed there were no moles to chase. I told him he needed better manners.
All in all we had a ball. If your not a member of The Birthday and Gotcha Club. Join up soon so you can come to the next party. Wow two parties this one month. Look forward to seeing everyone soon.

THE BIG TRIP

Girl Human called us and started walking . Of course we all got curious and followed along. She had that funny little silver thing in her hand. When she points it at us, it has lights that blink and birds that sing. What an odd thing. She gets a kick out of showing it to us. We always act like we have never seen it before. She always calls us good kitties, when she shows it to us.
She had us sit in the corn, sit on the rocks and she even showed it to Lucy. Lucy is so shy, but this time she looked at it and Girl Human was so happy. We like to show her the things we find in the field. She looked at all the things we had to show her. We stopped at the pond on the way back to say hello to the fish.
We had lots of fun. Girl Human says there are new pictures on a lot of our pages???? What ever that means. Maybe you Humans know what she is talking about. All in all, we had a nice start to a beautiful day.

Scarlet and the Shower

Scarlet loves her shower, but today was different. The Girl Human stepped in shutting the door. Scarlet was on the outside of the shower door, crying and crying. Girl Human opened the door and asked her in, shutting the door behind her. Scarlet began to panic and wanted out. Then she was all wet, soaked to the skin. Girl Human started rubbing her and it felt soooo good, Scarlet enjoyed it. Next Girl Human put on a special Kitty shampoo, she didn't mind at all. When all the funny cleaning was done she looked like a drowned rat. Poor thing.

That loud thing that Humans use on their hair, was now blowing on Scarlet's wet coat. She was not afraid. Any other cat would have yelled for help. Scarlet just made the best of it, sitting there enjoying the attention. She is very strange, for a cat.
The Girl Human left Scarlet in the bathroom and shut the door. None of us could go in, to check on her. We all sat outside the door and listened. All was quite. We all thought that, Girl Human had done something bad to Scarlet and did not want us to see.

Girl Human returned and still would not let any of us in. That loud thing turned on again. Still no sound from Scarlet. Girl Human came out and shut the door in our faces. Still no noise from inside the bathroom.

The Girl Human was on her computer not looking in on poor Scarlet. What is happening? All the sudden there is a noise on the other side of the door and who appears? Scarlet. You would swear she was smiling from ear to ear. She put her tail up high and confronted the Girl Human. Scarlet was laughing, off she went. Running all over the house, happy as could be. She rubbed the legs of the chairs. She looked at the Girl Human, laughing and put her head up high and ran again.

After her big morning she stretched out on the window seat in the sun. She was sound asleep , Girl Human swears she was still smiling. She had won, she showed Girl Human that you can't keep a super beauty like her, down.

PARTY ON

The big party is over the catnip plant has been attacked a lot. Now it needs to grow again. Blue and Icky ll had a ball. Icky was so happy she ran all over and came within a foot of the Girl Human and talked to her. This is good. Peaches had a hangover her didn't want anyone to touch his tail today. He spent the day on top of the fridge( not normal). Sophia slept in the entertainment center shelf all day. Scarlet just wanted to keep on with the party . She is the party girl. She had an extra shot of cat nip this morning." A bit of the hair. of the dog(cat) that bite you ."she said, and gave a wink. All she wanted to do was take a shower and gaze out the window the rest of the day.>>>>>>>> Party on Scarlet. She is on the run tonight. She sure isn't 14 yet. Scarlet says thank you for the gifts and card mail.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCARLET

We all have been planning a catnip party for Scarlet. Girl Humans daughter came home today to visit and celebrate. The party hats and dishes are ready. Man Human had a big crop of fresh catnip ready for all of us to enjoy. Blue is a little ahead of the rest of us. The catnip is in a pot hanging on the outside of his cage. He is playing turn the pot and grab. Icky ll is helping. Oh what fun. HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY DEAR SCARLET,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEOWWWWWWWWW.

Cover at Last

"Well what do we have here"?asks Dipsey." Z seems to like it", said Stasha.
"The Male Human says its a roof," comments Morgan." What's a ROOF"? asks Polly. Sylvester says " I don't know but, where are the trees that the Male Human put up? I wanted to climb them and sit on the greenhouse roof." Well here we go again, the Male Human spoiling the fun," said Polly.
"It sure was nice today when it rained, I didn't have wet fur to dry," said Z.
"Well I guess its alright then", says Polly.
Yes we have a roof and no screens, the Male Human ran out of time. Z and Dipsey sat on the porch most of the day, on a bench the Male Human made for them to use. He said it will be next year now before he will finish it. Girl Human thought that at the beginning of the project. Cella would have liked it today because I wouldn't let her run out in the rain. She gets sick to easily.
Girl Human has been busy cleaning the greenhouse inside and out. Rained today so the out, has not been finished. We wish all our friends well, PURRRZZZZZ and HUGS ONE AND ALL.

Raining Cats and Cats

Well the big day is over and the candles were all blown out. We are sitting under cars etc: looking at this strange gray thing on the front of our house.
Now what is this? says Morgan. The Girl Human and the Male Human hung that big gray thing up over this bunch if new trees the Male Human put up yesterday, before him Mom arrived. "I wanted to climb the new trees and see the view", said Polly. "I bet I could get to the top of the Greenhouse from those trees", comments Sylvester." Let climb up on our roof when the rain stops and get a closer look", says Decker. Z says," I will keep a look out on the ground, while you all climb up there". >>>>>"No guys, away", said Male Human. >

Noise Noise Noise

Male Human up early and gone with the pickup truck. Later he returns and backs into the back yard. He unloads a bunch of wood and plastic bags. Decker wants to see." Out, Decker, away from the bags". Male Human spoils all the fun. He was making all kinds of noise. Bang, Bang, rake, rake, dig, dig. We all are wanting to help. What can we do? He starts to dig holes, this is fun. More holes. Decker and Z want to dig too." Out, you two, go". "Well he is no fun at all today", said Z. "What is wrong with him, Oh he is sick, look at that awful stuff he is putting in the holes" said Decker. "Wow I think he ate little rocks, look at the gray stuff with all the rocks" said Polly. Well he is covering it up, at least," said Z. "Thank goodness it doesn't smell, that would be bad" said Stasha. "He filled all the holes, I hope he is going to be alright" said Polly." Were did he go? the stuff in the ground it hard", asked Morgan. While all the guys at the Junction know something is about to happen. The Male Human is OK. He is putting on a porch so you don't have to sit in the rain. The front of the main cat house is getting a screened porch. Two days of work. this going to be nice.

About Time

Today the Humans were home all day. I sat on my chair while Girl Human cleaned windows and Male Human cleaned Blue's porch and house with the NEW shop vac. It looks much better. Girl Human cleaned the cat dishes, got new rugs out for Blue and Icky ll to enjoy. Man Human brushed Scarlet, Amber and Sophia while Sweeny was on his back with all 4 feet in the air watching the brush fest. He kept a watchful eye twords the kitchen waiting for food to appear. He always waits for food. He eats and lays by the food dish, just in case something may fall in it.
Scarlet received a invite from Taffy to join the Old Furts Club( I'm not old Taffy), but I joined anyway. I have already met a lot of new friends and received a Heart from Anonyomus . I also received a nice drink from Setzer and family. I also got some real good Lemon Summer Drink from Clair. Annie received a mouse in a gift box from Jeoy and Gypsy, that she is going to share with all of us. We can't wait.
Time to go to the comfy bed and take a nap. Sweeny will call us when the dish is full. Have a good night everyone.

Up again early

Girl Human up early, good thing is that we get our dishes filled sooner.
Scarlet is at it again, Girl Human yelling because she is chewing the fax machine cord. She has that bad habit of chewing lamp cords. She has done it for years, none of the rest of us have the nerve to try it. Girl Human is off to visit an artist friend who is town today. Alone again.Well ZZZZZ. Male Human will be home soon.

What a Day

Girl Human was up early again. She went to the tooth vet to get two teeth fixed. She has not been much fun all day. I sat with her, but all she did was sleep. I gave up, I moved to the couch. Man Human finally fed us. Girl Human is going to have to get up and feed our fish friends soon. THEY SAY CATS A LAZY.

Now I can Sleep

All is quite tonight. No loud BOOM BOOMs. We will all sleep well. Have to get up early. Girl Human has to get up at 6am to get the House ready for the Humans coming to take pictures of one of our rooms. They want to use it for an ad on the TV, internet, Etc. I will hide under the bed with Pooh while they are here.
Sophia likes to be the greeter. We will let her get up, put on her make-up, brush her hair and entertain the Humans. I will let you know what happens.
Scarlet wants to let everyone know that she heard from TAFFY of East Purrsville. Her checkup was Good and she now has a FOREVER HOME. Scarlet is so happy for her. Love you TAFFY.
