The Bijoux Chronicles

Celebrating cats

Today it has been exactly 1 year since my mom found Catster. She was looking for a place to talk to other people about cats and cat health, and here we came. She got to make pages for us, write about us in diaries, and join groups with other cat lovers. After one year, this is her favorite place to come. She's feeling very "warm and fuzzy" today, and is completely moved by all the individual stories of rescues she has read on so many of my friend's pages. Mom has rescued (and lost) many sick and old doggies, and knows how much time and energy it takes to heal a soul. She recently lost Zane, the doberman, and his loss has really taken a toll on mommy. She has done some cat rescues, including myself, but we just won't allow her to bring anymore home. Lily was the latest, and is constantly taking a thumping from us girls. I admit my guilty part, but girls have a difficult time sharing their home. And I will NOT share mom. Anyhow, mom is very moved by the wonderful group of humans that come together here for us cats. She is proud to be part of this, and would like to tell everyone who has saved the life of a cat, "Thank you!" Happy Anniversary and give your kitties extra cheek scratches and head rubs. May God bless every human who has given a part of her/his Self to better the life of an Other.
Purrrrrrs.

Surprise!

Well, curl my toes and wiggle my tail! I woke up this morning, demanding my breakfast, as usual, but mommy found quite a wonderful surprise! Little old me was picked as KCK Kitty of the Month! I've never won anything so big in all my life. I was kitty of the week in January, but never expected this. Mommy was so happy for me. She had quite a difficult time last month saying goodbye to Zane as he went to Rainbow Bridge. I purred and kneaded every night, but her heart was very broken. She is still so sad, but today she was so happy for me. I sat on her lap when she did her hair this morning, and I left muddy footprints on her sweatshirt. On purpose, I'm handing out autographs now! She went to Petco and bought me some bling! Green peridot rhinestone paw prints. I was in such a good mood, I played with my tail and knocked some books over. That's right, books demolished. I'm feeling a bit like a diva... but move over, mom. I'm still dishing out purrs and kneading. I know that even with my spotlight shining, you still need me. Thank you to all my wonderful friends at KCK and Catster!!

She didn't forget

Wow, you guys really know how to make a girl feel loved! Thank you for your gifties and warm messages for my birthday today. I truly thought mom would forget all about me. She's had her hands full with those dogs of hers for a while. She had to help Zane to the Bridge last week, which I took it upon myself to stay dedicated to her, sleeping on her and kneading her for moral support. And, Foxie has been dignosed with pancreatitis, so mom has had to change his eating schedule and be woken up when his tummy hurts, listening to his burping and gurgling. Hint, this is not a pleasant activity, so more kneading for moral support was necessary. Monty was sick on Sunday, and was extra clingy, but luckily recovered. I have even gone out of my way for mom by forgoing my favorite activity, hunting. That's right, I have not hunted one single mouse since I woke her out of a deep sleep when I vomited one onto her slipper. That is devotion. I should've had more faith in her, I feel ashamed for even implying that she could forget my birthday. She brought me treats home today. Yes, my mom, my roomie, remembered my birthday and gave me treats! I did not fall by the wayside amongst the canine catastrophies. My mom loves me. And I layed on her, kneaded, and profusely and joyfully licked her cheek and chin. She winced, but I insisted. She may look like she had a slight accident involving facial road rash, but the world will see how much I love my mom.
