Peekaboo Perfect

It is so much fun to be the "perfect" kitty in the family. This morning Gunnie was so naughty mama gave him time-out. I was resting on the bed like a perfect little princess watching everything going on while Gunnie was getting underfoot, trying to chew on stuff, and going places he shouldn't (like the box mama was trying to put the computer in). Yeppers, my brother can be a very naughty boy.

Mama is working with me to help me not be so skitterish. It is more like a game I play than being afraid, but sometimes I run away when mama tries to pet or pick me up. Lately, mama has been scooping me up a LOT and pettering and kissing me and telling me how much she loves me and how lucky she is to have a little girl like me. Guess what? I think I am starting to like it. Mama says I am settling down after my spay (whatever that is). I always purr when mama picks me up, and I am not so squirmy anymore. I am starting to snuggle with mama in the nighttime too. Maybe the price of being a little princess is not so high after all.

Super Strollers

Daddy came yesterday morning. He worked all day on the new stone walkway from the front gate to the deck. Daddy has been working on this project since late last summer. Mama was working in the office and daddy outside. At 3 p.m. when mama finished her work shift, daddy was just finishing up the walkway.

Gunnie started beggaring for a stroller ride. Daddy put up his walkway stuff, and mama loaded me and Gunnie in the stroller. Mama showed daddy how she can get the stroller out the back door and down three steps with us in it!

We headed down the road with daddy pushing our stroller. It was extra fun because daddy pushes us way faster than mama. Mama looked funny kind of trotting along trying to keep up. We saw dawgs and trucks and birdies; all kinds of things. The road is narrow, and there are no siderwalks where we live. Mama says that if Gunnie and I get used to trucks whizzing by, we will not be scared of a few giant RV's creeping very slowly through the campsterground when we go travlering with mama and daddy later this summer.

When we got back from our ride, mama and daddy took our carriers out to the truck. Daddy took the back seat out of his big noisy truck. He is building a wooden tool holder thingie with drawers in it. The top has hinges (whatever those are)so daddy can get inside to get all his junk out. Our carriers will ride on top of the big wooden box facing each other so Gunnie and I can see each other, but we can't see outside. Daddy is putting in huge bolts and big nylon straps to hold our carriers in place NO MATTER WHAT happens. Mama and daddy checked out a few things with the carriers and marked where daddy will put the big bolts. We will get to test our daddy's contraption in July when we go to Helena for a few days. It will be mine and Gunnie's very first travelering trip ever!

Meanwhile I got a brand new Peekaboo Pink harness. Ooh, it is so gorgeous. Mama got me a Home Again tag that is also Peekaboo Pink. Anything at our house that is pink is Peekaboo Pink now. The new harness is not all that big, so mama ordered another bigger pink harness for when I get REALLY big and can kick my brother's butt when he starts wrestling with me.

We love our stroller and spending time with mama and daddy when he can be here with us. We just wish summer would come to Big Sky Country. The high on Saturday is forcasted to be 50 degrees. This is the spring that won't end and the summer that won't start. :(

Thank You

I want to sincerely thank all our wonderful Catster friends who have been feeding us so well the past few days. I have stuffed my tiny tummy with watermelon, hotdogs, hamburgers, and ice cream. There was so much food that Gunnie and I couldn't eat it all, so we asked mama to pack up the leftovers and take them to the local animal shelter. The kits and pups there had a feast for the holiday!

Thanks so much for your generosity and your friendship. It means a lot to me and my family.

Rosy Pussytoes

I have my very ownest flowers! They are called rosy pussytoes. A long time ago mama brought home some little wildflowers from one of her "nature" trips. When mama looked up the name in her wildflower book, they were called rosy pussytoes. The pussytoes became Missy Mups' flowers. Now mama says they are mine. They have grown and grown so there is a large patch, and they have baby wild white onions growing among them. They are very pretty and delicate with gray foliage that looks like a carpet and the little stems with tiny flowers in pink and white. They nod and sway in the wind.

Gunnie doesn't have any flowers. He says flowers are for girls. I think he should have his own flowers in the garden, but they would be stinkweeds...

I Am Not Afraid

I am not afraid of the sucking monster! This evening when mama was making the sucker monster go, I sat right there and let it come to within inches of where I was sitting. I only left because it was growling SO loud, I could not hear myself think. I did not run away; I only moved to a different place in the living room. When it got too close again and started growling at me, I moved again. It is so very, very slow, it could never catch the Peekaboo Princess, so there was no need to run away. Somekitty should tell the sucking monster to use it's indoor voice.

First Stroller Ride

I got my very first outdoor strollering session this afternoon. Gunnie and I have been practicing lots of stuff; getting brushed, wearing our harnesses, riding in the car, and playing, sleeping, and riding around the house in the stroller. Gunnie is an old hand at strollering outside and even down on the road with cars and trucks whooshing by. I have never even been outside in the stroller. This afternoon when mama finished six hours of overtime working, she asked if I would like to take my very first outdoor stroller ride. I clapped my little paws together and leaped up and down. Oh, yes, yes, yes! Mama put our harnesses on me and Gunnie. She put each of us in the potty box just in case. Sure enough, Gunnie had to go pee pee. Jeez, those boy cats... Then mama put us in the stroller together. Mama thought if I was scared, Gunnie would show me that strollering is fun, not scary. Mama zipped up the stroller and wheeled us down the hall. It was fun being in the stroller while mama tried to wrestle it down the back steps. Pretty soon we were moving. Wow, the sun was shining, I could hear birdies chirping, and the wind was ruffling my furs. We strolled for miles and miles, but it was mostly in circles around our yard, the driverway, and grampster's yard. Mama stopped the stroller near the road to see what I would do when cars went by. I didn't seem very scared, so we took a very short stroll down on the road. Mama heard somebody meowering and thought it was me. Nope! Gunnie was being a wuss. Don't tell Gunnie I said that. He will chase me, hold me down, and make me scream. We stayed out for about a half hour or more, and I loved strollering. I can't wait to go again on an even nicer day.

Toe Floof!

Ooh, ooh. My mama is so excited. I am getting toe floof just like Missy Mups'! It is not very noticeable on my front paws, but my back ones have great big floofs sticking out. Mama is hoping my coat will come in to match my fluffy tail, ear floof, and toe floof. She says it is driving her nuts wondering what I will look like all grown up.

On a seriously serious note, I am very upset with my brother, Gunnie. He has been wrestling with me and breaking my beautiful whiskers. How dare he? Someday I am gonna grow up and hold him down and sit on him and show him I am the boss kitty around here! OK, it may not be for awhile yet, but I promise to get even. Just like they say, don't get mad; get even...

DDP

Thank, you, Catster diary lady, for making me one of today's diary picks. I'm not quite sure why I keep getting picked. Lots of other kitties have REALLY good diaries. They are probably even better than mine because I'm just getting started as a kitty writer.

Most of you who know my brother, Gunnarr T, will not be surprised to know Gunnie is getting pretty jealous. I do feel KIND of bad because Gunnie wanted to be a kitty writer even before me.

Mama says I should not worry about Gunnie, and I should just enjoy knowing that other kitties actually read my kitten pawings.

Thank you to the kitties who p-mailed me with concatulations.

Thanks to:
The family of Mea - Angel, Mikki, Miko, Milo and more! for the beautiful red rose.
Tate for the beautiful red heart.
The family of ♥ Tony ♥, ♥ Anna ♥, ♥ Greystone ♥, ♥ Sammy ♥ and more for the lovely tulips.
Elise for the beautiful princess crown.
Tyson for a tulip bouquet.
Fluffy for the beautiful tulips.

The Tail Toy

This morning Gunnie and I were in the bay window birdie watching and enjoying the smell of grass growing after a long Montana winter. Neither Gunnie nor I have ever seen this before. This is our very first spring, and we think it is wonderful.

I saw this cool toy. It was a black tail thingie. It was moving like it wanted me to chase it. I thought it was my black mink fur thingie toy, and it was asking me to play with it. I pounced on it, but it whipped out of my paws. I pounced again, held it down, and started to chew on it. Gunnie turned around and said "Hey, sis. That is my TAIL you are gnawing on!" Jeepers, Gunnie. I didn't know. I'm just a kitten, and your tail looks so much like my minkie toy. Sorry... ;)
