In the life of a Slinkerdoo

Sad news from a good pal

One of my Brother Gordys best friends posted the saddest diary entry today.
Sterling
http://www.catster.com/cats/609566

Mom had been following his family as they were fostering 5 kittens from a animal shelter. Well she returned them to the shelter yesterday because they were old enough to be adopted and the same day the shelter killed all 5 of them.

Sterlings family is on our hearts today. Mom couldnt imagine a worse thing to happen in this situation.
Please purr for my pal and for those sweet babies that are now at the bridge.
Love,
Ruben

My little brother Toby has been causing some problems lately and mom is trying to figure out how to stop them. Mom knows I have a lot more friends then Toby so she is going to post his diary entry here too in hopes someone may have a suggestion.
Love,
Ruben

Mom is going crazy right now. Mom of course loves me dearly but I have been doing some things lately that are driving her nuts.

The whole constantly trying to barry my food thing is making her crazy. Its like I am obsessed with it honestly. I dig all the food out of my bowl. Its also a very loud process where the whole bowl slaps on the ground. I do this at night as well and mom is scared the neighbors are going to hear because it is so loud. Everytime I hear any of the other cats eating in the bowl I run full speed over there and push them out of the way and try to barry the food.

Gordy tries to eat and when he eats he takes a few peices out and drops them on the floor and eats them from there. Lately I have been pushing him out of the way and eating his few pieces.

I also am still trying to tip the water dish over with all my might. Water is constantly splashing and the bowl (its a water fountain) is always sliding everywhere. Mom finally put our food and water bowls on a boot mat so the water doesnt go all over the carpet.

I ALWAYS have food in my bowl. I have never not eaten in a day or anything. It just doesnt make sense. Is it a dominance thing? Is it something I am doing for attention? Is it a mental thing? How does mom stop it? This has been going on for months now and like mom said its like every 10 minutes I am over there trying to barry it.

Sorry this got to long but mom is hoping someone will have advice.
Maybe mom should start feeding us at specific times instead of all day feedings but how many times a day? Right now we get dry food all day long and then wet food once a day at dinner time. That still doesnt take care of the water thing because we always need water. Mom has even thought of trying to get one of those big guinea pig water bottles and trying to find a place for that MOL. I have had so many differen't bowls and none of them work.

Lots of love,

Purring Fur Calvin

My good buddy Calvin is sick with Cancer : ( We are very sad to hear about this. Purring that he can stay feeling good and with his family for a long time still.

What the?

Whats with our pages? Mom was switching Gordy and Toby's over to fall and kept thinking she was doing something wrong. Now she sees that all of her friends pages are messed up too. My page has buttons going all the way across and Toby and Gordys banners or button bar colors dont show up nor does their font color so you cant read anything.
I hope catster isn't changing something on us that messes up our pages for good.

A story to every name

Many of my friends are also friends with my siblings and know they posted how they got their names.
From this forum post
http://www.catster.com/forums/Catster_Diaries/thread/6 27195/last

So here we go

Mom found me on a cold fall day right before Thanksgiving. Lucky for me Grandpa was out working all day because we have Thanksgiving at our house so Grandma always gives him her list of things to do MOL (typical)

So he was out there all day and he finally came in and said to mom that he heard a kitten crying over in the neighbors yard. Mom ran outside and found me. My little feet were freezing cold. Can you imagine standing on frozen ground all day?

So Mom had always wanted a black cat named Ruby and I was so little she couldnt tell if I was a boy or girl. My name for the next few days became Ruby. After finding out that none of the neighbors were missing a kitty mom took me to the vet and found out I was not a girl.

Grandpa gave mom the idea of Ruben or Rudy. Mom liked Ruben because you never really hear of a cat named Ruben. So I became little Ruben.

The interesting thing is that at the time mom had a friend at school who had a little of kittens. The lady did not take care of them very well and she also had little bratty kids. One of the boys jumped on one of the kittens and killed it. The lady said she needed to get rid of the kittens ASAP and mom said she couldnt have one because her dad wouldn't let her have any more animals. Then she joked unless you just dropped the kitten off on my front door, then maybe I stand a chance of keeping him.

Mom swears she never thought the lady would do it or take her seriously but we are still curious if she really did leave me there.

Well thats the story of how mom got me and my name I guess. Turned out to be a long one.
Love,
Ruben

Thank you!

Thank you to all of my friends that made my birthday purrfect. Thank you for all the kind comments, Gifts and Rosettes. I truly have the best friends ever.
I love you all so much!
Love always,
Ruben

Five years old tomorrow!

Yep, its finally almost here. I will be Five years old tomorrow. What do I want for my birthday?
Just a nice full bowl of food and lots of attention. I am not a demanding guy (like Toby) thats all I really need. Maybe a little playing with my favorite feather toy too.

Mom has tried other gifts in the past that just didn't thrill me
A new cat tree- I wouldn't go past the first level
A Catnip toy- Shook my paw and walked away
Wet food- tried to barry it
Toy mice- Just looked at them
Cat treats- Smelled them then walked away

See really I dont want anything but my dry cat food, A fresh bowl of water, Attention and my feather toy on a stick.

I'm a real simple kind of guy

Thank you to all of my friends who have made my time here on catster wonderful. That in itself is an amazing birthday present.

Lots of love,
Ruben

My 5th birthday

Guess what? I will be 5 years old on August 25th. Mom cant believe how fast time goes. It seems like I was just a baby and now I am going to be five.
Mom decorated my page all pretty and everything.
Lots of love,
Ruben

The best friends in the world

Thank you so much to everyfur who purred for me and left me gifts, Rosettes and kind words. I really do have the best friends in the world.
I have so many thanks to do purrsonally this weekend.
We love you soooo much!
Ruben and Mom

Good News

So the vet called Mom today and told her its not a tumor and I will just need eye drops three times a day and some antibiotics. Man I dont know why they have to get you all scared like that right off the bat.

So thank you for all the purrs and well wishes. The prayers were answered and I am not going to need surgery AND I can keep both of my Big green eyes.

Lots and Lots of love friends!
Ruben and Mom

The Vet

So today Grandma took me to the vet because one of my eyes has been looking weird. One pupil would be dialated while the other wasn't and I would squint that one all of the time.

The vet said it could be a tumor behind my eye and I would need to get my eye removed. She has to talk to another Vet first and it could be something else too but please be sure to say a purr for us.

I was a good boy at the vet though so thats good news. I should also say that I am acting normal and not in any pain so thats really good too. They started me on some eye drops because I may just need that the rest of my life which would be fine. Mom says My eye is looking better since they put the drops in but please still say a prayer for me.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Sad : (

Today I was looking through my corral and realized how many of my good friends don't come to catster anymore. Like the ones I started out with when I first came here. I just hope they are all ok and living the good life.

Thank goodness I still have a lot of good friends here though. I just love you kitties to much.

Lots of love,
Ruben

Almost got me

Yesterday when I was outside on my leash Grandma kept hearing all kinds of commotion and when she went outside she see my cowering against the fence. There were three Hawks surrounding me and sqauwking at me. Grandma ran out and got me thank goodness.
Grandma says she wont let me out by myself anymore after that. Those birds are scary and something bad could have happened.
Well I have to go patrol the yard from the window now
Lots of love,
Ruben

Palm Sunday

Hello Friends!
Well today mom and the family brought home a bunch of palms. They look like so much fun but I never can get my paws on them.

It was so nice out last weekend I got to go outside and everything and this weekend its snowing again : (
I can tell you I am very unhappy about this.

I have been doing good at Grandma and Grandpas. I sleep with moms nephew everynight. They say I dont meow as much now that mom isn't there which is a good thing. You can bet I still have stuff to say but just not as much.

Mom took more pictures of baby Toby again.
If you have time to check them out please do. He sure is a cutie and he is growing up soooo fast.

TOBY

Lots of love,
Ruben

Spring!

Hello catster pals!

So I figured I would update everycat on how I am doing. A lot of cats ask how I am not that mom moved out.

I am doing very well still. Now I sleep with moms nephew everynight. He treats me so good. Everytime mom comes to the house she sees him carrying me around like a baby. He loves me so much too. I am his little buddy.

Grandma spoils me rotten. I get to go outside on my leash still too. Right now Moms nephew is on Vacation so I get the run of the house at night (usually I sleep in his room all night)

Its been pretty cool. I have been sleeping on my favorite green chair all night. Grandpa said I am actually being quiet through the night too. I meow a lot in the mornings and mom thinks I just like to hear my voice. I have always been like that. At first mom could hardly stand it but she got used to it. Maybe I am part Siamese or something.

Other then that nothing else is new. I still run to the door everytime mom comes over and she plays with me.

Well I better be getting back to my green chair
Lots of love,
Ruben

Toby

Here he is! My new brother Toby

TOBY

Hello Friends

Hello everycat! Man do I miss catster. We need to get our catster plus back. Mom just realized it exspired.

Things around here are going good. Mom and Dad got a new kitten (yes another one) and mom is hoping to have him on here soon.
He is a little Snowshoe baby with gorgeous blue eyes. His name is Toby. They just got him on Sunday so mom has been snapping away with the camera.

I miss everycat so much. I really need to get back to catster. My bestest friends in the world are here.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Moms wedding

Guess what! My mom is now a married women. The wedding is all over and I have a daddy.

Mom says she will have more time for catster again now.

Thanks to Smudge and Sissel and family for the beautiful gift. It was sooo sweet.

Here is a slideshow of some of the images that our photographer took. Not all of them are up yet but just in case you are interested.

Mom has such good friends here on catster she wanted to share it with all of you.

Lots of love,

Silly Cat

So mom told me that Gordy has been playing in the sink over at her new apartment.
Check out this silly video of him
http://www.catster.com/video/588599/playing_in_the_sink

He is such a funny guy, I mean who would think of putting your paw under running water *shakes paw* Not me

Happy Holidays!
Love,
Ruben, Gordy, Melody, Milo and Sarah Joe

The Us and the Is

Well Mom has decided that they have problems when it comes to the Us and the Is.

Melody has a URI : ( Mom is really hoping Gordy doesn't get it but she knows they are really contagious. Its her fault because she didn't keep them apart long enough but they were getting along so well.

So Mom brought Melody to the vet today and got some meds. They said to keep an eye on Gordy and if he starts developing any symptions to bring him in.

The symptoms on Melody didnt show up until yesterday which mom found weird.

Say a little purr that she recovers quickly and that Gordy doesnt get it. The shelter provides Medication for free for Melody so thats a nice thing.

I haven't had a UTI yet this Christmas season so thats a good thing. Keep your paws crossed for me : )

Lots of love,
Ruben

Check out Melody!

Hey kitties! Mom started a page for little Melody.

Here it is

http://www.catster.com/cats/931010

So far her and Gordy are getting along great!

Lots of love,
Ruben

Cool news!

So mom has moved with Gordy and I am doing well here with Grandma.

Meanwhile Moms fiance Joe gave Milo back to his mom. Moms fiances mom had become very attached to Milo during the three years he spent living there and cried the whole week and a half he was away. So moms fiance couldnt take it and decided to give Milo to his mom since that is where Milo was happiest too ( He had a hard time adjusting)

So anyway Gordy was all alone at home and mom decided they needed to adopt a new kitty friend for him. They went to the shelter and Adopted a little 8 month old female with medium hair. She came with the name Bandit but mom didnt think that sounded very Girly so they renamed her Melody : ) Sorry to Mercys family who has a melody. Didn't mean to copy you but its such a cute name.

So hopefully Mom can get a new page up for her soon. Her and Gordy are adjusting very well.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends. I love you all very much.

Tomorrow is the big Moving day for mom. They are planning on moving in Gordy and Milo on Sunday since they have off Monday and Tuesday too. They will have everything mostly in place by then too.

Mom is going to see how things go with me here first. If I miss her too much they will move me in later on when it may be less stressful for me.

Thank you so much for all of the kind advice.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Dear friends, We need advice

So mom is having an internal struggle about me right now. As you know we are getting ready to move in December. They have a small apartment where they were planning on bringing me, gordy and Milo.

Well mom has been stressing a lot about how I am going to take the big move. I get a urinary tract infection every time anything changes and I tend to get very sick so mom was dreading the day she had to move with us.

Recently Grandma has been saying how much she wishes mom would leave me at home with her. Mom loves me very much but wants whats best for me. Grandma takes very good care of me otherwise mom would not even be considering leaving me here.

What do you guys think? Mom would only be about four minutes from home so would come and see me all of the time. Then I would be able to stay in the home I have been in for four years.

On top of moving they are also introducing Milo into the household which would be even more stress put on me.

I am a a very special guy and have a hard time with things changing. Mom isn't nearly as worried about Gordy because He is very laid back and kind of goes with the flow.

The only reason she is even considering it is because she honestly wants whats best for me and my health. Mom loves me so much and wants me to be happy.

Any advice is appreciated.
Love,
Ruben

P.S.
Mom knows that I will miss her a lot too. I run to the door as soon as she gets home. Mom just cant decide if getting used to her not being around as much or getting used to a brand new home would be harder.

Hello

So its been awhile since we have been on catster. We just wanted to let all of our pals know how much we miss you.
Again mom is sooo busy planning her wedding and with her new job too.
Guess what? We are moving into an apartment soon. It has trees outside the window so we can watch the wildlife. Mom is worried about how we are going to adjust though.

Well we will be back soon.
Lots of love,
Ruben and Gordy

Coolness!

Super cool that catster used my picture on the little news board thing.
I remember that was one of my first pictures here on catster. How cool is that?
Lots of love,
Ruben

B day

Wow mom feels so bad! My birthday was on the 25th and she didn't even make me a bday page or anything.
Thank you so much Smudge for remembering me on my special day. Mom started a new job recently so she is busy learning that. Hopefully soon we will be more involved with catster again.
Love to all my friends!
Ruben

always busy

Hello! I feel like its been such a long time since we have been on catster. We check it everyday but mom hasn't been able to be very active on catster this summer and it makes us so sad.

Now that fall and winter are on their way mom will become more active again. We have to get my birthday page made soon. Its this month on the 25th!

We had a wedding for her brother last weekend and a wedding for her sister in law to be this week. Plus the whole Misty thing was hard on us. Mom finished school in June and got a full time career job this month so there has been a lot of new things happening.

Mom loves catster so we really want to get back into the swing of things here.

We love you all and hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Ruben and Gordy

Thank you's and Craigslist makes mom MAD

First I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who has been there for us through this rough time. Misty was very dear to us and we are still very sad about loosing her.
We do know she is in a better place now and it was her time to go.

Thank you to everyone who offered to make her wings too.


So the other topic about mom hating craigslist.

Mom went on there today out of curiosity. People have told her about it and she wanted to check it out.
So of course she went to the pet section.
There were so many cats that were free to good home adds.
There was someone asking for a free black kitten. First off if you cant afford to pay money for a cat you shouldn't have one. Plus I wouldn't trust anyone asking for a free kitten.

Some people are sooo dumb too! There was a dog listed as a Pomeranian rottweiler mix. I didn't even know that was possible.

There was a cat that was listed as needing to live on a farm because it was to wild for their family. It was also listed as being front declawed but that it was mainly an outside cat.


Some people dont even know what breed of dog they own for goodness sakes.

Please forgive me but it really peeves me when people just plain old dont care where their pet ends up.

Mom decided that sometime in the early fall she is going to get another dog. They are not ready yet but she is still doing research now.
Mom is pretty sure we are going to get a Papillon though. We will keep you updated on that situation.
Love,
Ruben

Sad day : (

Today Misty went to heaven and we are all very sad. The vet said that it was time for her to go and that she would be happy now chasing butterflies.


Misty didn't have as many dogster friends as we have catster friends so we were hoping someone could give her some angel wings in her picture.
If you know anyone or can make them it would mean so much to us. Mom doesn't know how to do it.

Lots of love,
Ruben

The bestest friends in the world

I just had to say that we have the best friends in the world here on catster and dogster. All of your kind words and rosettes have been much appreciated.
We love Misty and will miss her a lot. Its hard knowing its coming but mom wanted the week to spend with her.

Your words melt our hearts and bring comfort to us so thank you.

We love you so much!

Love,
Ruben, Gordy and mom

Sad News : (

Grandma made the appointment to put our canine sister Misty to sleep next Saturday : (

Misty is getting old and cant see or hear anymore. The poor girl is startled easily and is often times confused and dazed. Grandma thinks its only fair to put her down before she gets to sick (there was blood in her stool)

We have a lot of changes coming up that we dont think it would be fair to put her through. Mom is getting married and moving out. Mom wouldn't be able to take her with because she is so old and wouldn't adapt well to another home.

The summer is hard on her because of the storms and the Winter is even worse on her with her arthritis.

Mom says we are going to get her cremated and Barry her in the pet cemetery her fiances mom has. We will get a velvet box with a paw print and her name on it to Barry her in. Grandma requested that they make sure we get HER ashes back which costs more money but its worth it.

Say a little prayer for us ok? We will miss her very much.
Love,
Ruben

Check out the engagement photo shoot!

Well we did it! We got through the engagement shoot. Check out the pictures if you have time.
There are a few with us but I started getting really crabby so they had to stop.
This is the link to the pictures and then you will obviously see the ones with us in them.
Love,
Ruben




Engagement pics!!

There is a link there but its hard too see.
If that doesn't work and you still want to see the pictures go to

www.huberportraits.com

Click clients on the far right
and its the first one that says Sarah and Joe.
We are on the third page
Love,
Ruben

Picture day!

So mom tells me that these pictures we are going to be in for their engagement are coming up this week.
Mom is starting to doubt herself on how well this will turn out. I refuse to let her change her mind because we all know that if she doesn't try to have us in their pictures she will forever be disapointed. Its really important for her to have something to show how important we are at the wedding.
Say a little prayer
Love,
Ruben

Du du du looking out my back door

Thats right! Mom always knows where to look for me. Right next to the sliding glass door that looks at our back yard. I spend the whole day there just watching all the creatures.

Today mom took us outside for a little while. I am mad because Gordy's leash is way longer then mine. Mom says its because I usually dont want to leave the deck. Lately I have been though so she is going to have to get me a longer leash too.

Well I have to get to sleep so I can run to the back door in the morning and start all over.
Love,
Ruben

I'm Crabby today

I have been really crabby today for some reason. Mom thinks its because she took Gordy outside and not me.

When she came back in I was all growling at her and at Gordy.

The only reason she didn't take me out was because she brought Gordy to her fiance's families home. They have 2 acres of land and most of it is wooded so she wanted him to smell the birds and wildlife. He stays on a harness of course but he really enjoys that kind of thing.

I on the other hand have a nervous breakdown if I go anywhere away from home. So she didn't want to get me all upset.

So she claims anyway

I am still crabby about it though. Mom says she is going to keep an eye on me to make sure i'm not getting sick or anything but she is pretty sure it is jealousy.
She will just have to do something special for me tomorrow.
Lots of love,
Ruben

P.S. Gordy scratched moms tummy really bad ( I would never do that even in my crabby state)
Mom had to bring Gordy in the house over there and he started freaking out when he seen Milo and His brother Handy. So he scratched mom with his back claws.
He is such a scardy cat

5 interesting things about me:

1.I am extremely clumsy
2. I am a cuddle bug and I love giving kisses
3. I love my brother Gordy more and more everyday
4. I am more adventurous when Gordy is around
5. I hate the sound of keys jingling.

Look At me!

Notice anything differen't about my page? I am nude in all of my pictures. Mom decided to have our pages be focused on the fun we have outdoors since our favorite thing is to go outside with mom in the summer.
Mom will admit that a few of the photo's are of last fall but I am a tough on to get good pictures. It takes a lot for me to venture off of the deck so most of my pictures are of me on the deck.

Hope you take a look at our pages when you get a chance.
Lot of love,
Ruben

Engagement photos?

Mom told me today that me, Gordy and Milo are going to be in some of their engagement photos. I dont know how that will go since Gordy is a wild child and I dont really know Milo all that well.
Lucky for her their photographer was up to the challenge. Apparently the photographer started a pet photography program at some photo place and mom didn't even know that.
Pretty cool huh? Mom wanted to incorporate us into the wedding somehow since we mean so much to her and couldn't think of a better way then having a big picture of us all up together at the wedding.

Well I have to go have mom brush my fur so I am prepared for them.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Scaredy squirrel

MOL did you guys see the new gift? Scaredy squirrel? He really does live in my back yard. I just seen him today and now he is here on catster too.
Too cool!
Love,
Ruben

I have been Tagged by Teebo

I have to list 4 things in each of the four categories below and then tag 4 furriends, and they do the same, if they want to play.
Here are my answers!


THE 4 JOBS THAT I HAVE:
1. Watching birds
2. Waking mom up in the morning
3. Keeping my little brother in check
4. Pretending like i want to be outside but really I'm scared to death.
THE 4 PLACES THAT I HAVE LIVED OR STAYED AT:
1. Under a tree where some mean people left me but luckily mom found me.
2. At Milo's house
3. At Sara Joe's house.
4. At the vet a couple times (when I got fixed and with UTI's which are NO FUN)

THE 4 PLACES THAT I WOULD RATHER BE:
1. With mom all day
2. At the factory that makes my delicious food so I could eat all day.
3. In a jungle where I could roam and protect my territory (mom LOL's at this one)
4. At the people's house that left me in the cold so I could lock them out on a cold winters day without any shoes on. I would want to come back home with mom after I locked them out though.

What celebrity am I?

Ruben is none other than superhunk George Clooney!

Turning heads everywhere he rolls, Ruben is a huge hit with both googly-eyed babes and older, wiser fans. Admirers will paddle across no less than eleven oceans just to get a glimpse of this A-List heartthrob in the fur. Ruben isn't in a big rush to settle down, so is often seen out on the town with the cutest members of the pack. Not just a looker, Ruben's activism knows no limits—enerpetically involved in the campaign to save Dogfur, Ruben is always looking for a worthy cause that he can sink his teeth into.

Basket of Kittens?

So yesterday mom told us a story when she got home.

Mom went out to get a sandwich and when she got out in the parking lot a lady was walking around the parking lot with a laundry basket.
Mom didn't think anything of it until the lady said "you want one?"

Mom looked down at the basket and there were six baby kittens in it. It was sooo hard for her to turn them down but mom knew grandpa would not be happy if she came home with another kitten.

Mom was sad though because this lady was just giving them away for free, to strange people, in the rain : (
They were all differen't colors too and they were mewing.
Mom prays that they all got good homes to people that will care for them.

The lady said that all three of her cats had kittens and that was only a third of what she had : o
Mom really wishes she would have said something about getting her cats fixed but it was such a short exchanged she didn't. She still feels bad though and hopes they are OK.

lots of love,
Ruben

Cover you eyes!

I am nude in my new main photo! I sure hope I dont get into trouble. Mom hasn't had time to take a dressed up picture lately with her internship, School, work and wedding planning.
Mom is going to be working on getting Gordy a 1st birthday picture soon. His birthday is on May 19th.

Lots of love,
Ruben

New cat!

No we dont have a new cat but mom did add a new page for me and Gordy. Its a combined page for us. She has so many pictures of us together that she doesn't have enough room on our individual pages.
So If you have the time make sure to check it out.
Love,
Ruben

Ruben's Underwater Adventure

Hey guys! Thank you for the compliments on my page. Like I said mom was excited about them and wanted to base our pages off of those two songs because they are relaxing. Don't forget to look at Gordy's page too. He is in charge of the Safari.

Thanks to Calvin for making me his pal of the week. I feel so special and I'm glad I could be his first friend.

Lots of love,
Ruben

Updated pages

Mom updated me and Gordy's pages today. When she is bored she makes backgrounds for us so she always has a few ready when holidays are over. Mom has been excited about our news ones for awhile now so if you have time take a look.
Lots of love,
Ruben
P.S. Thank you to all my pals for rosettes and messages. Mom is very sorry she has been busy. Wedding planning and internships are taking up her time so we haven't been on.

Olivia Is Home!

My new baby cousin went to her home this weekend. Make sure if you have time to check her out. What a cutie! You can find her link on my page.
Love,

New Collars and ID tags!

So spring is coming and mom ordered our new collars and ID tags today. We usually get new collars with new seasons. Its sad but true that mom has a mild obsession with new collars for us. I guess there could be worst things she could be obsessed with though right? She also likes to get new ID tags for us but has been ordering from animalstars.com which are gorgeous but EXPENSIVE. So she is trying a new place just to see if she likes them.
Pet tags!

We also like this place and may try it sometime
cat grace!

We just got Brown and black pawprints this time around since we have colored ones from animal stars already.

Gordy got this collar
Classy Bronze silk!

and I got this one! Mom usually gets me something super bright and sassy but she really thought this design was cute. Plus you will see it better with my fur since Gordy is a big fur ball.

sassy Multi cats!


Mom took some more pictures of us on our Katimanjaro that she will post soon.
Life is good!
Lots of love,
Gordy

Winter GO AWAY

I am getting so sick of winter. All I have to do is Sleep, Eat and prowl in the basement. My biggest thing right now is climbing to the top of the built in bar we have in the basement. When I get up there I will meow and meow until someone comes down and sees me there. I'm a very proud cat

In the summer mom takes us outside in the stroller and on our leash. I love the feel of the wind in my fur and the smell of fresh grass. I want to hear the birds chirping and those little squirrels chattering back and forth.

I want to go hunting for butterfly's again

I want to go night prowling again. Well I'm on a leash so I can only prowl so far but still. Mom will have a camp fire and let us come out with her at night.

I want summer! I want to snow to melt and the cold to go away. I want the windows to be open.

Oh well I guess I can only complain for now

Lots of love,
Ruben

My new baby cousin has a catster page!

Look! The new Kitty cousin I have been talking about has a catster page now.
She is really, really cute so please stop by and see her.


Baby Olivia!


She gets to leave the cattery and get her new home next month. We are very excited.
Love,
Ruben

No outing for me

Today Gordy got packed up in that pink bag again and went out and about. I have to say im not all that jealous. I usually meow a lot when I have to go somewhere. Instead I got to stay in the nice warm house, sleeping on my nice warm bed.

Still waiting for the big Katimanjaro to come.

Lots of love,
Ruben

Still waiting

Yep we are still waiting for our big Katimanjaro to arrive. It was supposed to ship last Monday so hopefully it comes soon. We are really excited about it.
Please Please let it come soon.
Love,
Ruben

Thank yous!

Oh My! Thank everykitty for the gorgeous Valentines rosettes and cards. I promise I will thank everykitty personally soon. Mom has been so busy (Valentines day is a big day in the restaurant business) and hasn't been able to get on that much this week.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Its MY bed

Lately Gordy has been sleeping in my bed. This does not make me happy. He likes all of the beds and I only like one so why does he need to sleep in mine?

This morning after my morning prowl I decided to go take myself a nap in my fleece lined bed by the window and when I got there who did I find? Stinky Gordy.

He is to big for me to kick out now. I do find it humerous that he is way bigger then me but I can still boss him around.
Well I better get to bed now.
Love,
Ruben

Plus is Back!

Mom called and talked to HQ and we have our plus back. She felt dumb cause when she called her plus was back already.
Thank you HQ
Love,
Ruben

Ahhh My plus is Gone!

Oh know! We are freaking out here. Mom sent a check for my plus to be renued and today its gone! She knows the check already has been cashed but my plus is still gone.
She wrote HQ and tried calling but forgot its earlier there then here.
Hopefully they fix it soon.
Love,
Ruben

Tagged

I was tagged by my Catster twin Apache and
Phoenix~ Her Exalted Highness

Here are the rules of the game: Each
player starts with seven random facts
about themselves. Cats who are tagged,
need to post in their Diary the rules &
their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7
cats to tag and list their names. Don’t
forget to purr them a pmail that they
have been tagged and to read your Diary,
or, send them a fun Rosette announcing
they've been Tagged.

1. I am EXTREMELY clumsy
2. I am very picky about what I eat
3. I recently learned how to growl (thanks to Gordy) and now I do it at the most random times.
4. The only person I let hold me is my mom and I will take long naps in her arms.
5. It takes me about 10 minutes to get nestled into bed at night. Its a very slow process which starts with me standing and I slowly sink to the ground.
6. I love parties and I'm always out where the action is
7. After people meet me they almost always say I'm their favorite cat even over their own cat.
What can I say? Im special

Burrrrzies

Man its cold out today! There is a thick layer of ice on the outside door and on the streets today.
The wind is blistery and cold too. Luckily I get to stay inside on my nice warm bed. I really feel bad for those stray cats that live outside in this weather.

Moms fiances parents live over in a wooded area and they have a few strays by there house. His mom built a couple of insulated shelters for them. She also puts food out and has a heated water dish for them. I hope they are warm inside their shelter tonight.

So now we are all warm inside the house and ready to get hunkered in for the night. I sleep all cuddled up next to mom, Gordy sleeps in his cat tree tunnel that is near the heat vent and Old lady misty sleeps in her nice warm dog bed. Misty used to sleep up on the bed with us but its getting to hard for her to get up and down so mom had to buy her a warm bed for the winter.

Well I hope every-cat is warm and cozy tonight.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Balloons!

Mom is going to a birthday party today and she promised to bring home balloons for us.

Now I LOVE balloons! I will walk around a balloon four our five times to get it to stick to me and then walk through the house until it falls off. This cycle will go on for hours. Mom will just watch me in amazement because I never get sick of them.

I'm going to have a balloon party today. Mom is hoping to get some of my weird balloon behavior on camera so we will see.

Gordy hasn't had any experience with balloons yet but I'm pretty sure he will like them.

Hurry home mom we are waiting

love,
Ruben

So sad : (

Tonight we went to the Late late show and was expecting it to be crazy like I remember. You could hardly keep up with the posts there were so many cats there.

The A team told me not as many cats go there anymore : (

I almost cried! I mean I am not one to talk since mom has to work late every single Friday night (except tonight) but I guess she didn't realized it changed so much.

I met so many cats through the Late late show.
Leo, Squeakers, Chey, The A team, Gimli, Truman, Toulhouse, The feinds, and sooooo many more. I mean I look through my coral and most the cats in there are from the forums.
How sad : ( I miss you guys

Maybe someday we can have a catster get together with all of us again.

Lots of love,
Ruben

Cat Tree!

Hello! Well mom just bought us a new cat tree. Its HUGE! and it looks really cool. She found it on ebay for $100 cheaper but then she had a ton of issues with paypal and she doesn't know why because they only thing she ever bought with paypal was the catsterplus membership. Mom would have to say she passionately hates paypal MOL. Anyway the company has awesome customer service so it all worked out.
Here it is
http://www.playtimeworkshop.com/katimanjaro_cat_furnitur e.htm

Sooo cool right! We are really excited about it.
eBay is a little scary though, It was a buy it now item and mom clicked buy it now expecting there to be more steps but it came up with a screen that said congratulations you have just bought this item.

So once we get it and have it all set up we are going to post pictures. I highly recommend Playtime workshop. They have been sooooo nice to us.
It will be a few weeks before we get it though.
Lot of love,
Ruben

Oh my COTD!

My goodness I cant believe it. Mom was busy all morning so she couldn't check catster but when she looked at her mail box and seen all the messages she knew something was up.
Thank you so much Catster for making me cat of the day. I feel so special and I really appreciate HQ making this wonderful website for us.
Mom always wondered if you could be both COTD and COTW and you have bestowed me with both honers now here on catster.
Thank you so very much!

Lots of love to all of my pals and all of the new kitties that I haven't met yet. I have been here to see catster grow into this amazing website. When I first joined there was only ten pictures allowed, Now way to change your backgrounds or put pictures on, No groups, No gifts, No answers, No adoption sections, No videos and now look at us. It was a great website then and now it just keeps getting better.

Through catster I have met some of my best friends Morgan the pirate Gato, Mercy, Smudge and Sissle, Charlie Clarence and Family, Toulouse, Somoa, Hazel Lucy, Boogars, Simba and Rocky ann.

Thanks to catster I have some of the best kitty angels a guy could ask for. My best pals Ricki, Buddy, Milo, Mckenna, and Kallie. My friends that will never be forgotten. Although I have cried for you I know I will see you again and I can sleep a little better at night knowing you are watching me.

Through The forums I have met some of the coolest cats around. The A team, Sqeaks, Leo, Jaquese and the feind family, Cheyanne, Winni and Chester, Hunter, Diego, Gimli, Ray and Truman. There are soooo many more and if I forgot you just know that we love you. I tend to forget the most important people sometimes.

Thanks to catster I continue to meet new cats everyday who have the potential to become a great friend.

Through catster I met a kitty girl friend named Mugsy who has been so good to me.

Thanks to catster I met PJ and Ice box who have been so patient in teaching mom how to make my page look Pawsome. Thank you again and again and again.

I honestly don't know what I would do without this website. Mom says that most people laugh at her when she talks about catster because she is so passionate about it but they don't know about the great friends she has made here.
I love you Catster!
Thank you!
Ruben

A New Year

Ah whats better then starting off a new year? So many new hopes and goals.
What are my resolutions this year?

1. Eat more
2. Nap more
3. Spend more time outside
4. Catch a bird
5. Cuddle more

Pretty good huh? I think I can make those things happen.

Christmas is over?

Hello! Well im starting to feel a little better. I have stopped with the constant meowing and litter box visits. I am still on my antibiotics for about another week and a half and then we will see what happens from there.

Christmas went good. It was Gordy's first Christmas and that was fun. Mom sat down with us and opened all of our gifts. We got two interactive toys, treats, Mice, a bed, a new blankie, a new Da bird toy, a new Cat catcher toy, and a new feather wand toy. We also got two treat balls, new collars and a few other things.
Oh we got cat cubes from target and they were a huge hit! Both me and Gordy love them.
Well I hope everykitty had a wonderful Christmas too.
Lots of love,
Ruben

The Cats Diary

Day 983 or my captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash and some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I never the less must eat something in order to keep my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomited on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities.
However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. B*STARDS!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.
However I could hear the noises and smell the food... I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of the "allergies". I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more then willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird must be an informant. I observed him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.
For now...

MOL mom thought this was so funny! I know not all of us spoiled kitties think like this but its still makes you laugh.
Lots of love,

Sick boy part 2

MOL sorry I left you guys with such a vague message earlier. Mom was on the way to a Christmas party but wanted to make sure I got some much needed purrs.

OK so this morning Mom woke up to me meowing and meowing and meowing. She knew something was wrong even though I'm a pretty vocal cat. It actually sounded like I was saying owe owe owe.

Now mom keeps our litter boxes in her walk in closet ( I know what your thinking GROSS!) but Grampa said if she wanted cats that's where the boxes had to be. Plus you can imagine how incredibly clean they stay being there(Everyone is always amazed to find out they are in there because her room actually smells good). Anyway wayyyy off subject.

So she noticed me going in and out of my litter box like last time I had a UTI. I am really noisy when I'm in the box because I try to Barry everything like a normal kitty but instead of digging at the litter I dig at the wall and the box sides and the litter scoop and everything that makes a ton of racket.

So she got up and called the vet ASAP.

So we got there and they checked me over. Yes the shoved that thing up my behind (HOW RUDE!) and torchered me by holding my eyelids open while shining that bright light in them (WHY?) but worst of all they poked and prodded at my little belly. The vet could tell that I was very uncomfortable so they set up an X Ray. She said she felt something that could have been a stone but it also could have been fecal (It wasn't squishy so they were worried it was a stone).
Lucky for me it was fecal but they said I might have constipation and that mom would have to watch me and get some kitty laxatives. They also sent me home with some antibiotics and said that I was not blocked but mom would need to keep an eye on me.

So now I am starting to feel better. I stopped with the constant meowing and litter box visits. I did go poop so mom knows i'm not constipated (thank God) and I have been playing with Gordy, eating and drinking. The vet said I should seriously think about eating canned food for all of the liquids. I am very picky but mom is going to try it.

Please keep purring for me. I am on antibiotics for two weeks and then I have to get A urinary test and see what to do from there.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Sick boy:(

Purrr for me because Im sick. I have another UTI and im constipated.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Goodies!

Hello! Well today mom came home with more goodies for us this Christmas. I am so excited I can hardly wait.

Mom says we are going to be really busy this weekend. We have Christmas parties right up the Christmas day now. Lots of fun for her but me and Gordy are going to be home all alone :(

Well actually we are having one party on Sunday here at our house and then we have Christmas day here too so we will get to be apart of the action.

I laugh because Gordy acts like he isn't scared of anything and he is always up to some kind of mischief but when it comes to having a house full of people he is always apprehensive. He will come out for a little while but he scales the walls to get everywhere. Then all of the sudden he will take off and run into our room.

I on the other hand LOVE having people over. I am an action cat. I don't let anyone interrupt my usual back and fourth through the house. You cant let your daily patterns get messed up you know? Plus I tend to turn everyone I meet into a cat lover. I have these huge green eyes and this tiny little meow. Not to mention my little smudge of white by my nose that is simply irresistible. Hey its not me saying these things its the people.
Well I hope every kitty is warm and has a full tummy tonight and always of course.

Oh and I have lots of thanking to do for my gifts

Thank you to Whiskers Kissers, Teddy and all of your cute canine siblings for my beautiful snowman rosette.
Thank you to Bella, Max the Cat, Abby and Princess Pumpkin Patches for my other super cute snowman and the Christmas wishes.
Thank you Cleocatra for my super cool stocking you left for me
Thank you to my sweet lookalike Apache for my stocking of goodies and holiday wishes.
Thank you to my good Minnesota buddies Squeakers, Scooter and Munchkin (R.I.P) and Sandy for my cool Minnesota snowman. Hope you are keeping warm.
Thank you Sammie and Kiki for my other lovely snowman and the kind Christmas wishes.
Thank you Sophie, Benjamin, Molly- In Loving Memory, and Danny for my cute pink rossie but most of all thank you for the kind words and saying that I am purrfect just the way I am. You are too sweet
Thank you so much to The family of Velvet, Marina and Tosca Biscotti for my beautiful Christmas Wreath gift. You have been such wonderful friends and you made me feel very special.
Thank you The family of Lucy Claws, ♥Rylie (Rainbow Bridge), ♥Zorilla♥ and ADOBE for my super cool snow guy and the holiday wishes. Have fun little Adobe with your first Christmas.
and
Thank you to Gorgeous Sophie for my cool Christmas Wreath and snowflake Rosette.
Oh man I think that is it, I guess I'm a little spoiled. I love you all so so so so so so much.
Ruben

Man peeps is freakin!

So mom has been keeping up with the new site group since the new site went up yesterday. Everyone is freaking out about it. HQ has been very good to us and it kinda upsets me when I see how harsh and mean some peoples is being. They are just trying something fresh and new. I have noticed a lot of dogsters are really harsh and mean which makes mom happy she doesn't spend much time there. I mean its great to share your opinion and say what you don't like but some of what is said just makes mom mad.
Oh well all I can do is put in my opinion and move on right? They cant make every one happy. Plus I enjoy some of the things people hate, Like the updates on pictures and stuff. For instance we were waiting for our buddy Tommy to post a new picture of him in his new Morgan bed and so it was nice to see that he had posted new pictures of him in his bed.

Well I will write again later but for now mom says I have to be done cause she has to go to work. She says I spend to much time on I Can has cheezeburger website and so she only lets me on when she is here to supervise.

Lots of love,
Ruben

WOW we cant believe how passionate cats are about the old homepage. I never would have thought this one change would bring so much controversy and turmoil about. Poor HQ must feel overwhelmed with this new change and all of the complaints.
I really like the new page but we will see what happens. I am getting the feeling I'm in the minority here.
Well We love you HQ for making catster in the first place.
Lots of love,
Ruben

New Site homepage

So mom came home from work today and was surprised by the new homepage. I mean she knew it was coming but didn't think it would be this soon.
So we really like it so far. Seems easy to navigate, Not to mention my photo is used to represent the holiday picture party which I feel pretty good about. Mom had to log out special because she was so surprised and thought maybe they made it so your families pictures popped up there.

We are also happy that our page is still in tact and the changes didn't mess it all up. One thing I might like to see Changed is that we couldn't find the Cat of the week because they didn't have a picture of them but just their name and a link. I really cant decide how I feel about that yet because I do feel like it gives the cat of the day more recognition which it deserves because you don't get anything on your page that says you were cat of the day like you do with cat of the week.

We also wish there was a way to set the information box where the recent activity to just our coral because we have ALOT of friends. Once you get into recent activity you can look at just the coral though so its not to hard.

OK so now I'm just rambling but overall we are pretty happy with the whole thing. Thanks catster for making it so much fun here.
OH and we LOVE the FREE calendar from shutterfly. WAYYYYY COOOL! Thank you so so so so so so much.
Love,
Ruben

Five things I would like for Christmas

So I have been tagged by my sweet kitty girl Mugsy.
Here are the five things I am wishing for this Christmas

1. All animal abuse and neglect to stop. I really wish this would happen but unfortuntaly there are always going to be mean people.
2. Gordy to stop picking on me. I love the little guy but sometimes I want time to myself too.
3. Summer to be here again so I can have the windows open and go outside with mom.
4. All the homeless kitties and puppies to get homes like mine where they are spoiled rotten. Sometimes kitties get homes that don't turn out to be good ones so I want them to get GOOD homes where they don't have to worry.
5. Mom would stand by our bowls all day everyday refilling them as soon as we are done eating. I never go hungry but sometimes when mom is gone during the day I can see little pieces of the bottom and I don't like that.

Everykitty have a wonderful holiday!
Lots of love,
Ruben

I just want to be like the other kids

So today I had quite the scare at home. I usually talk... ALOT. So mom didn't think anything of it when she heard me meowing this morning. Then Gram pa called mom out and said "Ruben is stuck!" so mom came running out. It was the saddest sight ever. I was stuck behind the toy box which is right against the Bannister for the stairs and half of my body was hanging off :(. Mom ran over and picked me up and I clutched her like I was scared to death. Mom felt so bad.
Gram pa said I was trying to scale the stairs like Gordy does but then I got scared. He says I just want to be like the other kids.
Now there is no secret that I am not quite normal but everyone loves me the way I am. I walk funny, I Meow more then the average cat, I have terrible balance, and I'm just not very catlike. I couldn't sneak up on a blind rabbit.
Gordy on the other hand is everything I'm not. He can scale the smallest wall, He can run really fast, He has perfect balance and is very stealthy.
Mom says we are both adorable in our own ways. She loves my huge green eyes cute little meow and my clumsiness. She loves Gordy's long fur and tail and his cute little purring noise he makes.
We both make her laugh too. It usually takes me a good 10 minutes to settle in for bed. I start in a sitting up position and slowly sink down. The whole time I have this terribly crabby look on my face (I'm not its just a look) mom says it looks like Oscar the grouch.
Gordy is just funny because he is always getting into mischief and mom loves the way he gallops. Its not quite and walk and not quite a run but its just enough to make his little belly sway back and forth.
Everykitty has something different to offer.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Secret Santa!

So yesterday was the 2007 Christmas Gift exchange. Mom took our secret Santa Presents in the morning and put them both on the ground and called us in her room.
First we opened my present and guess what I got??? A KITTY GO CRAZY! We were both so excited when mom put the batteries in and it started going crazy (Its in the name)
Then we opened my other gift and it was two very cozy warm blankies. One in blue and one in tan for me and Gordy.
Thank you so much Kiki for my wonderful gifts. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas cutie.

Then we moved on to Gordy's present which smelled really good. He got a whole bunch of yummy smelling catnip pillows, a cozy mat and three bags of treats! He was darting all over trying to figure out what he wanted first. Mom opened one bag and gave him some yummy treats.
Needless to say we had a wonderful gift exchange.
Thank you so much Susie for Gordy's present, you were so kind to give us so much.

I got to be pretty Bella's Secret Santa
http://www.catster.com/cats/520914
which was so much fun because mom got to help me buy a cute pink collar for her. Mom loves pink but has two boy kitties so never gets to buy it.

Anyway Thanks to Winter and family for putting on this years gift exchange. It was so much fun.

I have to say thank you to sweet Sophie for the wonderful little snowflake that was left on my page. I loved the picture of the Christmas Wreath too.

Thank you also to Kiki for my bell and for being such a great secret Santa.

Thank you to sweet Daisy for my winter slead and the hugs and kisses *blushes*
Thank you to my sweet Mugsy for my mistletoe and the kisses. You are the best kitty girl i could ask for.

and last but not least thank you so much to Bella for my Gingerbread cookie and the kind words. I was thrilled to be your secret Santa.
Lots of love to all my pals.
Ruben

Secret Santa Goodies

Guess what? Today I got my Secret Santa present. I am so excited! Mom put it right next to Gordy's box and we get to open them on Saturday. Mom let us sniff them and stuff but I still have no idea what goodies could be in there.
I hope everycat is having a wonderful Holiday season.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Friends

Thank you Minou for my heart and the wonderful Christmas Wishes.

Thank you also to sweet beautiful Sissel for my yummy Gingerbread cookie. It was delicious. I tried to save it for Christmas but It smelled way to good.

I am still waiting to see if there will be anymore Christmas Rosies added before I give them away.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Lazy Days and cold feet

So lately me and Gordy have been spending most of our days cuddled in our favorite spot napping. It has been so cold out and what can be more relaxing then falling a sleep watching a light snow fall?

Gordy is always sleeping the in the cat tunnel below my bed. I think he feels protected because I am so strong and brave and that is why he chooses to sleep there. Mom ordered him a new bed (shh don't tell him) for Christmas from Morgan the Pirate Gator's mom's website. If you need a new bed I highly recommend her. She got a dog bed because he likes to stretch out when he sleeps so he likes big beds.
http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5095379

So my feet have always been very sensitive since mom found me when I was little. The ground was frozen so she thinks it made me have a poor circulation in my feets. I am always shaking my paws in the winter and one paw in particular I have trouble walking on like its a sleep or hurts or something. Does anyone have any Idea of what mom could do? She wishes I could wear booties during the winter but we all know I wouldn't keep those on.

I have to say some special thanks to all my friends who left me goodies on my page.
Thank you to Eddie, Angel, Tank, Ollie, Sophie, Callie, and Missy for my cute little snowman.

Thank you Shadow for my yummy snowflake. It was so thoughtful of you.

Thank you to Coffee Bean Jones for my cute frosty the snowman that you left me. I love him lots and lots.

and thank you to Mercy for my Sled, Now we can go sledding together sometimes.

Lots of love,
Ruben

I got a jingle bell

Guess what??? I got a Jingle bell from my secret Santa today. It said that I have been a good boy and I really have I promise.
Thank you Secret Santa! *jingles bell with his little paw* ooh this will be fun to tease Gordy with.
Love,
Ruben

Thank you

Thank you so much to Karma Kitty and family for my beautiful heart rosette. Also thank you to Rudy and Bumpy for my other cute heart, It really means a lot to me.
Thank you to my secret Santa for my secret snowflake. I have been a very good boy this year.

Thank you Opie for the wonderful warm welcome and heart rosette that you gave me. I really appreciate it.

Thanks to Hambone for the little flake of snow on my nose. It tickled but then I got it with my tongue and it was tasty.

Thank you so much Rudy for the compliments on my outfits and for building me a cute little snowman. It was so thoughtful of you and I love it.

Thank you to Tigger for the pretty snowflake and holiday wishes, It really brightened up my day.

And thank you Sterling for my little snowman on my page and the compliments on my page as well.
I am so blessed to have such great pals.
Love,
Ruben

I promise I have been good

I got a snowflake from my secret Santa today! I am so excited Cause I know I have been a very good boy this year.
Thank you Secret Santa

Im moms good boy

So as you know Gordy has not been very good. I like to alert mom whenever he is doing something wrong. I tend to Meow ALOT but mom always knows when Gordy is picking on me. For the most part we get along good but I just cant keep up with this little guy.
I have always been very slow (kinda like the Slow-skies) They should seriously use me for their Com-cast commercial instead. I walk really really slow and usually I stop and think about where I am going before I get there. I also am very slow to cross over to a different floor. If I am going from our hard wood floors to our carpet it takes me like 20 seconds of feeling around with one foot to finally cross. So as you can imagine this makes it hard to keep away from a little kitten. Maybe I have some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder.
Anyway Mom says I am her good boy.
Love,
Ruben

Thank you

I have to say thank you so much to Mercy who left me a fun little butterfly on my page. I have been trying to catch him all day.
Thank you also to my sweet girlfriend Mugsy for the yarn ball. I have wanted one for a long time.

Thank you to Smudge and bob for my delicious turkey drumstick. Thank to all my friends my belly is staying nice and full.
I love you all very much.

Christmas gifts

Yesterday mom came home with three big bags full of Christmas gifts for us. I was so excited and I tried to follow her down stairs where she was wrapping them but she wouldn't let me in. I heard a lot of jingling in those bags so I know there are a ton of goodies for us.
Meanwhile Gordy has been being very bad. I'm positive Santa isn't bringing him anything this year. He keeps climbing moms tree and he even broke an ornament. I am the good boy in the family so I bet I get a lot of toys.
Well I have to go
Love,
Ruben

Thanksgiving

Well today is thanksgiving and I have a lot to be thankful for.
First off I want to thank My pal Stanley for the cool little mouse gift he left me. I promise I will be really nice to him.
Smuge, Bob and angel Millie- Thank you so very much for the delicious drumstick. My mouth is still watering from it.
Thank you to the family of Mercy, Ollie, petrie, Noah, Oliver, Angel kitty Shamus, Rico and even cute little doggie Alexis for my gobble turkey.

It always makes me purr when I see how many friends I have that care about me. I am so thankful for all of you.
Love,
Ruben

Zealie balance

Oh my! I looked at my Zealie balance today and I had 55 Zealies. I was so excited. Did Catster give us these Zealies? Perhaps my secret Santa? One of my good kitty friends? A secret admirer? Did they give them to me, Gordy, Milo or Sarah Joe? Well whoever is responsible for them thank you soooooo much! We really appreciate them.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Oh and I also wanted to thank Koshkamitsu for my absolutely delicious turkey drumstick.
Thank you also to Diego, LuLu, angel Furie and Boomerang and my buddy Leggs for my cute little turkey.
And lets not forget The family of Squeakers, Scooter and Munchkin, Tino, Sandy for my other little turkey buddy.
I love you all very much

New toy!

I looked at my page today and guess what I found? I new yarn ball from my sweet Mugsy.
Thank you cutie!
Love,
Ruben

Another Turkey!

Today I found another turkey on my page. Thank you Rose Carter for the yummy turkey. My tummy is feeling very full and now I'm sleepy.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Soo cold

Hello! Today was so cold out. Its just a reminder of how cold winter is. It was rainy snow all day.
Mom was gone all day because they celebrate thanksgiving with one side of the family early. She didn't bring us any turkey home though :( I think Gordy is a little more upset about that then me though.

I would also like to thank Krista for my super cute Turkey rosette she left me. I am saving it for Thanksgiving day. We are still awaiting our installment of rosettes this month.

Oh man we are a member of the 2007 Christmas gift exchange this year and we got our draws the other day. How exciting! I wont give any clues to who I have other then we have a girl and mom is super excited about that because we are all boys and she wants to buy something pink for once.

Moms birthday was last Monday and she got two gift cards to pet stores. No one can believe her when she says that is what she wants as gifts. She is going shopping for us tomorrow so who knows what she will bring home.
Well I have to go now
Lots of love,
Ruben

Cute little mouse and Yummy Sushi

I have to thank my pals Karma kitty, Punkin poo, Charlie and little Bobby Boi for my fun little mouse.
I also enjoyed a yummy sushi roll thanks to my good pals Tweak, Wiggy, spike and angel betsy. I really really appreciate the kind gifts.

Thank you to my angel kitty Ricki for giving me my own turkey to play with, Buddy for his compliments and the blue ribbon, My pirate buddy Morgan for my sweet pumpkin pie, Mercy for her sweet heart and Phanto for the Cute heart rosette and Kind words.
I really love you all and am so happy to be friends with you.
Lots of love,
Ruben

A few of my favorite things

A lot of times I get paw mail asking me where I get all of my clothing and accessories so I decided to write a little entry about my favorite things.

If you like the hat and cute collar I have on my ready for fall picture or you are looking for a cozy blanket for the winter you should check out sweet Hazel Lucy's page. You can pick your colors and everything! I definitely plan on buying more from her.
Tranquility blankets

A great place to find a stylish collar for a great price is
Canine Collars
Its free shipping in the USA and if you have a special size request they are always willing to do it.

I get all my ID tags from
Animal stars
I also have a collar from there. They are expensive but VERY well made and last a long time. Trust me they are as pretty as they look on the website too. Check me out in there pet gallery on page 2 if you get a chance.

My favorite places to buy clothing are
Petco
and
Petsmart
Yes I wear clothing made for dogs but size small always fits perfectly.

I also love Callie and Leo's mom's store

Posh pets

There are always cute new collars for the holidays and super cute bow ties for the boys.
Hope you check some of these links out cause they are really cool.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Adventures outside

Well today Mom took me outside again and even got some pictures of me. She put them on page five and six of my photo book if you are interested in looking at them.
It was pretty fun and I even went in the grass. I usually don't venture out that far but today I was feeling pretty brave. You can see how pretty my eyes look in the sun. Mom thinks I have the prettiest green eyes.
Gordy didn't get to come out because mom thinks he will run and he is a fast little guy. He gets to go in the stroller instead and he seems to like that.
Well I have to go catch a kitty nap.
Lots of love,
Ruben

New Brother

Well I got a new brother named Gordy. I'm not sure how I feel about him yet. Sometimes I feel really sweet and I give him a bath and we cuddle but sometimes the kid is just way to hyper and I have to growl at him. As long as he stops biting my tail I will be happy.
Anyway make sure to check him out he is a real cutie

Otherwise things around here have been normal. We got a ton of new toys since the little guy joined our family which is a plus. We even got some new beds and a new cat tree. As if I wasn't spoiled enough now mom has two of us to spoil rotten.
Well I have to go now, the birds are chirping and I cant miss them.
love,
Ruben

Lazy summer days

So I have been watching those pesky little squirrels outside my window for the last couple of weeks and wondering if I would ever get the chance to actually meet one outside. Then grandma took me out with her and guess what? One came down the tree and walked up to me. I always thought I would be brave in this situation but it started screaming at me and every time I took a step closer it would scream even louder. To make a long story short I got all scared, freaked out and grandma had to let me back inside. Maybe next time will go better.

Feeling Much better

Well I am finally home from the vet now. Thank you to all my pals for purring for me. I seem to be feeling pretty good but mom thinks I lost some weight. I ate some yummy canned food that mom gave me and drank a ton of water. Then mom and I took a nap and I slept in her arms. I did through up this morning when I got home but mom thinks it was a mixture of all the water I drank and a hair ball.
So the vet found blood and bacteria in my urine but no crystals. They told mom that she shouldn't worry to much about me getting blocked. I am on Clavamox for two weeks and then I have to get another urine sample.
I am just so glad to be home. Mom was so worried that I thought she dumped me and I would never see her again. It was the longest we have ever been apart and it was hard on both of us. Now I am getting all the attention I am used to again.
Thanks again to all my pals for purring for me.
Love,
Ruben

P.S. Mom has been talking about adding a new family member. It sounds like I will be getting another Canine sister sometime this summer. She said its called a Papillon and I am excited because Misty never plays with me. Its not for certain yet but we are all excited here.

You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog! Got it? GOOD!
Here are my facts

1. I am the most needy kitty to ever walk this earth

2. I am extremely clumsy( falling off the bed, cat tree, steps and pretty much anything I walk on)

3. My feet are very sensitive and I often times stick my foot out and lightly tap the ground ahead of me to make sure its safe.

4. I have a very soft kitten meow

5. I love dogs

6. My favorite past time is bird watching

7. I sleep in my moms arms all night

P.S mom hasn't had time to write other cats yet but she will add their names soon.

Ahh Spring

Hello! So im pretty excited about the weather as of late. Mom has had the windows and the doors open for me to look out. I also got to go on a few stroller rides.
The other day there were these weird machines going up and down our street and they freaked me out. Mom says they were cleaning our street but I dont like them at all. Why do they need to clean the streets anyway?
There have been so many birds at my feeder the last couple of days and today I took a nap in the sun. I have been waiting for this all winter and spring is finally here.
There was one scary thing though, Me and mom seen a bee out already. It wouldn't leave mom alone so she made us go inside. I will be on the look out for the return of that bee.
Well I have a lot to do now so I will write again
Love,
Ruben

Vet

Hello! Well I went to the vet today. I had to get my shots again and my yearly Check-up.
Mom took me in my new stroller and I have to say it was much better then my little Crate. I had lots of room, I could see out at everything, I had room for all my blankies and people thought I was the coolest cat on the block. The vets were all asking mom about my stroller and where I got it.
Mom thought it was much easier bringing me in my stroller then my crate too. She has a hard time holding me in the crate because it is too heavy, She even used the storage compartment for her purse which really made things easier for her because usually she has to carry 500 things plus fill out the papers.
They really liked my little License plate too.
I am in good health and spoiled rotten so it all turned out good. It wasn't as scary because Mom didnt have to shove me in that small little crate.
Lots of love,
Ruben

Cool Collars!

Mom just wanted to share this website with all my catster friends. I know some of you have already ordered collars from them but I am telling you they are sooooo cool.
www. caninecollars.com
They have so many designs to choose from and they are only $8 with free shipping and handling. The thing mom really likes about them is that they do custom sizing if you ask for it. Mom likes to have a size 9 inch collar for me so there is no extra bulky fabric to pull through and they always do it for her.
Mom likes getting me new collars all the time and they have been the best so far.
So if you need a new collar please at least check them out and dont let the canine part scare you away because they make them for cats too with safty release.
Love,
Ruben

As sharp as a marble?

Mom has noticed that I am like the only cat here that actually has a low rating on intellegence in the kitty complexion area. She feels kinda bad that she is saying im not that intellegent but I do so many things that lead her to believe that.
1. I will jump up on the bed and land right on the edge and then slowly fall back off the bed. I will be falling for like 30 seconds which is pleanty of time to regain your footing but I will just end up right back on the floor.
2. I will go into the bathroom behind the door and cry until someone comes and gets me. I see the crack behind the door and think that someone shut it on me so I cant get out.
3. I will get in my litter box which is plenty big for me and dig my hole but then I will squat so that my butt is over the edge of the litter pan and I end up going outside the box instead. Then I will just cover nothing up thinking I went in the box.
4. Sometimes when I jump up on my bed I wont jump far enough and me and my bed will fall on the floor and if it lands on me I will just stay under it till someone comes and rescues me. I think that I am trapped and I cant get out.
5. I get lost in the basement even though I go down there everyday. I always get stuck in one corner and I cant find the door back out.
6. When I am playing with my toy I will bat everywhere but where the toy actually is and sometimes when I stand on my hind legs I fall back on my butt. Mom thought I might have something wrong with my ears causing my balance and vision to be off but the vets have checked many times and I am very healthy.
Thats just the tip of the iceberg too, mom has many stories about my sillyness.
All of these things make mom love me even more. I have LOTS of character and everyone who meets me wants to take me home with them. Im just very slow and goofy is all and mom loves me and wouldnt trade me for the world. I just wonder if there are any other cats here on catster who are like me. If you are I would love to meet you and hear your funny stories.
Well I have to go take a nap now and hopefully the bed will stay put so I dont get trapped.
Love,
Ruben
P.S It also helps that I am soooo darn cute!!!!

Snow!

Hello! Well we are getting lots of snow here today. Its nice because mommy is stuck at home with me all day now. She has the next ten days off too so I am expecting a lot of attention.
Mom is going to take some pictures of me and snow so that all my pals that dont get snow can see how pretty it is.
Well I got to go and take a nap but I will write again
Love,
Ruben

Fuzz Face gets COTD

Yep you heard it right, Sj got Cat of the day. I will be nice to her today because it is her special day but I want to remind you all about her bad bathroom habits and thats all im going to say.
Love,
Ruben

Wanted Man

Howdy! Yep I'm a cowboy finally. I get to be an outlaw but we all know I'm just a good Ol' Boy.

So I have been up to the usual. I have been napping a lot since its been so cold out. I just want to stay cuddled up in my bed all of the time. Mom has my bed in the perfect place so the heat vent blows up on it.

Mom says my fur is looking greasy again. That usually means she is going to give me a bath soon. I'm such a good boy when it comes to getting a bath. I just sit there till its over and then when mom puts me down I shake every paw in the air as I pick it up to walk. Its pretty entertaining for mom but I don't think there is anything funny about it at all. I gave Misty a bath last night but I neglected myself so thats why mom thinks I am so greasy.

Well I have to go now
Love,
Ruben

Sweet Little Miss Mupsy

Dreaming of Summer

Hello Friends!
So mom got some of my patches for my stroller in the mail today and started decoratiing it. It looks pretty good but she still wants a few more to fill in some spaces. She also wants to get a cool bell for my stroller before its all finished. Now I just want it to be summer.

Mom was pretty worried about me the last couple of days because I wasn't eating very much and she had noticed me drinking more then usual. I have been acting normal other then that. This morning I finally ate and she thinks I have been drinking more because of the cold dry weather. Great Grandma says that Sarah Joe has not been eating much since she left our house either. They think its because we miss eachother. Hopefully I continue to eat and everything turns out ok.

I have been complaining a lot in the mornings because grandma keeps all the shades and blinds closed tight on really cold days. So I make it it known to everyone that I am not pleased with the fact that I cant see out. I keep it pretty much at a constant meow all morning until mom gets up and plays with me. Needless to say mom hasn't been sleeping well at all these last couple of days. Another good reason for summer to come and FAST!
Mom added a comment box on my page and no one has left me a comment yet. I am very anxious about what my first comment will be and who it will be from.
Well Lots of love and purrs to my pals.
Love,
Ruben
P.S. Here are some links to my decorated stroller. Mom isn't done yet but you can get a good idea.

P.S. Huge Thanks to Rocky Ann for helping mom get ideas for decorating her stroller. We love you Rocky ann!

My stroller

I GOT MY STROLLER!!! I cant believe its already here. We just ordered it on Sunday and here it is. Its pretty cool, mom pushed me around the house in it and I was pretty happy. I kept trying to get back in it when she took me out. Now it just needs to get nice out.
P.S I put some new pictures of me in my stroller up on the second page of my photo book if your interested.

Strolling?

Mom ordered me my very own stroller!!
This is it
http://www.justpetstrollers.com/AT3_all_terrain_pet_stro ller.html
I even get Blue! We cant wait till it gets here but sadly its so cold out we cant go out there yet. Mom is going to let me get used to it by driving me around inside the house and letting me sniff it. Its pretty exciting that I get to be an official stroller now.
Now I really cant wait for summer
Love,
Ruben

Meowing Out Loud

Hello Friends!

Well as you all know Sarah Joe has been staying with us the last week. I just dont get that girl. One minute she wants to play with me and the next she is growling and swatting my head down. Not to mention her horrible litter box habbits. Mom has to vaccum by our litter box almost everytime she goes to the bathroom.

Well I will keep you updated on the situation here but meanwhile I have been watching a family of chickadees ouside my window. I have yet to see a bird like the one mom keeps on the string for me. She must have found a really rare bird for me.
Love,
Ruben

WOW!

Hey kitties! I just wanted to say thanks to catster for making me one of the diary picks of the day. I'm pretty excited that kitties will get to see what I I'm am all about.

So today I was looking at my page and I'm pretty happy about it. Mom tries to keep me looking good (not that its hard or anything) and she keeps up with changing my background to keep things interesting. I noticed that my treats went down significantly today. I had like 300 and now I have 15 treats. The only thing I can think of is that Sarah Joe must have gotten into them last night while I was sleeping. Sarah Joe sure is not very friendly with me at all. I am so sweet to her and all I get in return is a growl and a slap in the head. Mom says its a perfect example of male and female interactions sometimes.

Well I have to go and watch the birds. I have been studying them for almost two years and I'm sure I almost have a plan on how to catch one.
Bye kitties!
Love,
Ruben

Winter

Hello! Today mom got up real early and started cleaning my room. I always get really excited when she is cleaning and follow her everywhere. I get the feeling that we are going to be getting a cat visitor soon because mom put another litter box by mine. She also stuffed a ton of pillows and boxes under the bed for some reason. I am guessing Sarah Joe is coming over because she always goes under the bed and mom hates when she cant get at her. So she left open a little space under the bed so SJ can still get under there and feel safe but now mom can easily get at her if need be. I am pretty happy about having a visitor. Now I can show off my new cat tree and my bird feeders and all my toys. I just hope she stays away from my food because that is one thing i am not willing to share.
Well I have to go, mom filled up the bird feeders today and there is alot of action out there.
Love,
Ruben

Days of Pink

Hello!
Well I have been up to my usual charming self. I just can't believe how much I have my mom wrapped around my little paw. I helped her take down her Christmas tree in my (yes my) room today and guess what she put in its spot? My old cat tree! So now I basically have cat trees going across the whole room. She also found a more convenient place for my vase of toys too (mom keeps all of my toys with handles in a vase) so now she will have no reason not to play with me. Also we put my food up on the second level so Misty can't get at it because she will eat the whole bowl in one gulp.

So yeah mom has me in another Pink outfit. She always feels depressed in January because its after all the holidays and there is really nothing to look forward too but pink makes her happy so she always starts the new year off with pink. Plus Valentines day is coming so my outfit works for that too.

Once again I want to mention my video that mom put on my page comparing me and Milo. Its pretty funny if you need a good laugh. I will tell you that in the part with me chewing I don't have the toy in my mouth. It is just sitting on my head and I am chewing the air. Right now you probably don't know what I am talking about but if you watch the video you will.

Well its getting late and all that helping mom take down the tree has tired me out. She cut her head taking off the star and that made her quite peeved so I'm pretty sure she needs a nap too.
Love,
Ruben

New Years!

Hello! How are all of my pals? I hope everyone is ready to ring in the new year. I have my blue hat (mom let me have blue this time) and my kitty treat snackies to keep me up tomorrow.

I added a new video to my page that is kinda funny if you are interested in watching it and have some time.

Mom has my new outfit all ready to go for the new year. I think it will be a hit with the ladies anyway.
Well I have to be getting to bed. I need to get my sleep so I can make it to midnight tomorrow with Mom.
Love,
Ruben

Merry Christmas!

Hello To all my Catster Pals! Well I finally got a costume and I think it is pretty cute. I am pretty happy with how it turned out anyway. Animal stars even sent mom a crystal Key chain to make up for it being so late. They are a really good bunch of people there so its all good.

I hope all of my friends are having a wonderful Christmas and get lots of goodies and toys. I love each and every one of you and I am very thankful for you.

Well mom has to wrap some presents and I HAVE to be apart of that. I never let a present get wrapped without my help.
Love,
Ruben


P.S. I forgot to say that Mommy got engaged two weeks ago. That means Milo is going to be my real brother and we are going to live together when they get married. Thats pretty cool huh? I just hope we get along well when we are in a new place. Mom is worried because Milo is so big compared to me that I might get pushed around. Im sure it will all work out and Im still pretty excited about it.

Christmas

Hello kitties! Well I haven't been able to be on catster a lot lately and I am very sad about that. I will be on more now though so that's good news. I mean usually when I get my new rosettes for the month they are gone in the first day but I still have almost all of them.

My costume got lost in the mail and no one knows where it is. Animalstars is a great company though and I know its not their fault its the post office. They are sending me an alternate costume that will fit me because the costumes are hand made and so it would take to long to make before Christmas. They offered me a new collar too but I want the costume since I already have a collar from them. At least I will get to have my costume for the last couple weeks before Christmas.

Well I have to go now but I hope everycat is having a wonderful Holiday season.
Love,
Ruben

Meow!

Hello Kitty friends! Well my cat tree is now finished and in my room ( yes MY room, I just let mom sleep there.) I had mom put pictures up on page two of my catster page. I also got a new leopard print bed for my tree. Mom got birthday money and spent it on me. I'm pretty sure I have her wrapped around my little paw. She also got some petco gift cards (Its what she asked for) and got me a new panic mouse cause my old one broke. I was a little disappointed in her because she also used some of the money to get Misty treats and a bone.
Anyway I have been having fun chasing that little mouse round and round up and down. I have also been doing the usual bird watching. The birds are all fluffed out now because they are trying to keep warm. They are funny little creatures I'll tell ya and those squirrels are real pests. Mom thinks they are real cute but they will eat all of the seed in one sitting. Then they knock the bird feeder off the branch and its just a disaster. Now she has a squirrel proof feeder but they are always plotting about how to get in there.
Hm what else? Oh I didn't make it in the finals of The coolest cat show. Thanks to all my pals that voted for me though. There are so many cute kitties in the finals mom really had a hard time voting. She ended up choosing four of her favorites and letting her boyfriend choose from there. They were all really cute though.
I'm still waiting for my Christmas outfit. It best be coming soon because Thanksgiving is next week and we need to start getting pictures taken.
Well Got to go
Lots of love to my pals
Ruben

New Pictures

My New Cat tree made special by moms boyfriend is in my catster plus photo book now on page two. It is so cool you just have to look at it. Just wanted to let kitties know that I added a few new pictures of me on page two of my catster plus photo book. There are some picture of my new collar and ID tag too.
P.S. Please Remember to cast your vote for me and all of your pals in the worlds coolest cat show.
My number is
http://www.catster.com/show06/vote_pet.php?i=156533
Tha nk you!
P.S. Don't forget to write me note on my yellow note card on my page. I would love to hear from you.

OOOOHHH NOOO

Hello! Oh My goodness Mom is going to go broke. She found a Pet boutique that has like everything a kitty can ask for like 15 minutes from her house. She didn't even know it was there until she got a coupon in the mail today. They have cat trees, Cat beds, SO many cat toys, cat statues, Cat decorations, Cat clothes, Cat charms, Cat purses and wallets. They have more cat stuff then you could ever imagine. They even had a kitty that lives in the store. I mean that kitty is so lucky because everyone who comes in plays with her and she gets to choose a different bed to sleep in like every night. Yep mom was pretty much going crazy in that store. She was only able to get me two things this time though because she is kinda broke this check. She got me a Catnip banana which the lady said has the best catnip ever. Boy was she right because Handy and Milo were going so crazy over it. Mom has given them catnip before and they were actually fighting over his banana. It was so weird that they liked this catnip so much more then any other. I don't really care for catnip so it wasn't that great to me and that's why mom gave it to Handy and Milo. She thought maybe this time it would be different but it wasn't. Then she got me this toy that has a wire attached to a mouse and its really hard to see the wire so it looks like the mouse is real. Then the lady gave us tons of food samples too. She was really nice and seemed to know a ton about animals which I guess is a must if she is owning a pet boutique.
Well I thought I would share my new discovery with you all. They have a website so I will post it sometimes.
Love,
Ruben
Ok so here is their website.
www.4perfectpets.com
It looks like right now they are doing some reconstruction but they have the catnip bananas for sale under Yeoww!! Im telling you If your cat likes catnip you have to get one. Mom has never seen any cats act as crazy before with any other catnip toy.

Videos

Hello! I just wanted to say that I have three videos on my page and sometimes only one shows up. So if you are interested in seeing all three please press the give treat button and they usually show up. I promise I am not just trying to get a bunch of free treats or anything.
Thanks!
Ruben

Spoiled!

Hello Kitties! Just thought I would let every-cat know how I was doing. Lately have have been doing a lot of napping which is a good thing. Mom has been spoiling me even more then normal too. I mean I have always been spoiled but she has taken it to a higher level. I have my little claws in her and I can get her to do whatever my little kitty heart desires.
She bought me a new collar from animal stars with real swarovski crystals. She bought me a new slumber ball bed that I have had my eyes on for a long time now. She bought me a new cat toy because I chewed the feather off on my other one. She came home with a bigger then usual bag of food for me and she bought me a really nice costume for Christmas. I have even heard talk of a new cat tree for me and One of those kitty strollers so I can go outside with mom and even visit petsmart sometimes. My only fear is that it will be a pink one.
Here is a picture of my new slumber ball that is coming in the mail. Doesn't it look cozy?

My New Animal stars Collar is here!

Yep mom got my new collar in the mail yesterday. Wow I feel like a king in it. I seriously strut around the house when its on. You know how sometimes you order something and it ends up disappointing you? Not this man its just a gorgeous as it looks online. Mom says I cant where in until at least November but its really hard to wait. I cant wait to get my picture taken in it so I can show every cat.
This is the collar

Well I have to go nap now I'm all tired out from the excitement.

Hot, Cold, Cold, HOT

Hello!
Lately I have been so confused by the weather. One day its to cold to have the windows open and the next every window in the house and the doors are open. Not that im complaining or anything because I love the warm weather. Today grandpa woke us up with the leaf blower machine. We have lots and lots of leaves in our yard. Mom is tempted to make a huge pile and put me in them but I think she knows I probably wouldn't like it.
Some good news is that mom got her own computer finally. Now she has one in her room and can spend more time on Catster.
Well I have to go but I will write again.

Not again

Well mom got my halloween costume for this year. I have to say its really going to be embarrising. Mom thinks it is soo cute though and it even fits on Misty so now im not the only one who has to wear it. Misty doesn't mind it as much as I do though.
Some good news is that mom ordered my christmas collar already. She gets excited for christmas as soon as the weather starts getting colder. So anyway she splurged and got me the christmas mix collar from animal stars and the ID tag too. Oh man am I going to feel like a king this year. She wishes there were three kitties so she could do a three kings theme for my christmas photo. Then she could have gotten the christmas mix collar with the crowns on the ID tags. OH well maybe someday she can get more kitties.
Here is a picture of the collar she got me

They said it will be here in about 2 to 4 weeks.
Well got to go
Love,
Ruben
P.S
Animal Stars Rock!
These are the three colors mom is trying to choose from for after christmas. This one is going to be my everyday collar.

Fall Already?

Hello! Well today mom took me outside for a little bit and guess what? There are already so many leaves turning color and on the ground. I even got to chase a few. Its pretty nice out today but its a huge reminder that pretty soon its going to get really cold out.
Well I hear birds outside the window and I have to go watch them.
Meow!
Ruben

Trash Can Adventure

Lately I have been using the trash can to get up unto the counter in our kitchen. Its pretty fun to explore things at that height you know? So anyway today Grandma heard me meowing and she couldn't locate me anywhere in the house. Finally she looked in the trash can and there I was in the very bottom stairing at her. What happened is I jumped on the trash can and the lid fliped open, I fell in and then the lid closed up again. Grandma had just taken out the trash so it was empty and so I couldn't get myself out.
Anyway it was pretty embarrising and I dont think I will be doing it again.
Meow!

Not only did I bite the hand that feeds me but I did it- while it was feeding me

Hello! Long time no meow here in my diary. Today mom took FOREVER to feed me so I bit her hand when she was pouring my food in my bowl. Boy was she mad but im to cute so she didn't yell at me.

Summer is coming to an end and you know what that means? Mom bought me another new collar. Its green with stars on it to match my eyes. She also got me some wet food. I got turkey and gravey and some kind of seafood mix. Its only for special occasions and my birthday was this week.

Well I have to go and get some sun before its too late.
Meow!

My Tail of Devotion for Ruben

This is a special Tail of Devotion

See All Tails of Devotion

The sweet days of Summer

Hello! How are all of my kitty friends doing? As good as me I hope. Its finally warm enough out to have our windows open again. I love having the windows open because then I can go from window to door to window to door to window to watch the birds. Somedays its to warm and the close all of the windows and doors up and I hate that. I cant hear the birds and I cant get as close to them as I would like to either. The whole weekend was to hot to have the windows open. Mom said something about it being 97 degrees outside. I guess thats pretty hot.
Well mom broke down and ordered me another collar. Its Green with swirls on it and it will match my eyes. She also ordered the matching collar bow tie for me. I haven't recieved it yet but hopefully this week sometime.
Mom tells me she ordered a purse with me on it. Now this lady is obsessed with me. I mean she has to have a picture of me with her all of the time now? I cant blame her though because I am C-U-T-E. Trust me im pretty good looking.
Well Got to go for now,
Meow!
Ruben

Animalstars!

Guess what kitties! I got my picture up on animalstars websight. Isn't that soooo cute? We are thrilled that they liked them enough to put them on their page. We love animal stars and their beautiful ID tags.

Spring!

Hello! Well just thought I would catch everyone up on the exciting life of Ruben since I know everyone is just on the edge of their kitty beds waiting to see what I am going to do next (Mom is laughing for some reason and I hope she is not trying to imply that I am not as important as I think I am to everyone.)
Anyway I have been doing the usual Cat napping but not just any catnaping, Some hardcore catnaping. I mean I am in a very deep dark sleep lately when im naping. I have also been doing the usual bird watching but not just any kind of bird watching, I have been doing some hardcore bird watching. This is when I dont take my eyes off the birds for maybe 5 hours. Last but not least I have been doing ALOT of eating but once again this is not just any ordinary eating its some hardcore eating. Its not just the im going to snack eating its I am going to finish this bowl in 30 seconds eating.
See I am a dardevil and I dont like to dissapoint. Now im going to do some hardcore digging in my litter box but what happens in there is between me and the sand.
Bye!

Meow!

Hello! Guess what? Mom got me a new bed for on top of my cat tree. Its alot bigger then the one I had before and it has three tall sides on it so I dont fall off. It also has a really soft cusion so I feel like im sitting on top of a cloud and to top it all off mom still has the fleece blanket she made for me in it so its like heaven.
It was my early easter gift I guess.
Well bye for now
Love,
Ruben
P.S. I found the Prize GIANT Easter egg at the Social cats Easter egg contest and picnic. It had dried shrimp and catnip in it and I got to share with all of my friends who were there. Thanks Truman for creating such a wonderful group and making it so much fun. I encourage any cats that want to have a good time to join The social cats group.

Music

Well It looks like im not going to be able to use that song anymore on my page which makes mom really sad because she loved that song for me. They had to make the code longer so now it doesnt fit in our catster box thing. I am now going to be looking for a new song for my page and hopefully I can find one that suits me just as well.
Meows
Ruben

Well as of Saturday mom finally got some new music from a differen't website for my page. Thanks Calvin for your kindness in sharing your information on where you got your music so mom could get a cool song for me too.
Well Meows and purrs to all,
Ruben

Spring is here!

Hello everycat!
Finally spring is here. Today it is 59 degrees which is nice for this time of year in Minneosota. Its even sunny outside and I can here the birds chirping again. A long winter of waiting and plotting against those birds has finally past and now I can try and catch one of them. Soon maybe I will even be able to go out on my leash with mom. Last summer I almost caught one of those little flying mothes.
Mom is still trying to figure something out for my easter picture this year. She made something on her own but I look more like stitch then an easter bunny. She might put the picture up anyway just because I look so funny in it but hopefully she will find something else.
Mom finally added Music to my page. She is really excited and is telling everyone so switch your speakers to ON and listen. She thinks it goes puurrrfect with my personality.
Well Meows for now,
Ruben

Snow snow and more Snow

Hello everyone!
Well yesterday it was pretty nice out for being March in Minnesota. It was 50 degrees and sunny. Mom could go out with a light jacket and all of the grass was showing. Then last night we got like 10 inches of snow and its below zero again. What is going on? Now the birds wont come out and I have nothing to do but sleep. There is a new picture of me on the second page of my catster plus photo book that has me looking out the window and you will see the blizard like conditions out.
On a brighter note I got my new crystal ID tag way earlier then we thought. You can also see that on page two of my picture book if you are interested. Mom got it to match the color of my eyes.
Well I think I am going to go watch for birds. Maybe some of the brave ones will come out today.
Meows!
Ruben

Messy Litter Box coming through!

Remember How I thought that SJ was mad at me for my litter box keeping? Well That cant be it because this girl is MESSY. I was on my way to "The Box" when all of the sudden I feel little grains under my feet and as I got closer the grains where more and more frequent. Well I thought it was a little odd that kitty litter would be tracked all the way up stairs but when I got to The Box I was astonished. More then half of the kitty litter was out of the box and it appeared that the kitty who used it before me (SJ) hadn't even tryed to burry what was left behind. I guess she must have tryed to burry something but what ever she was trying to burry wasn't INSIDE of the box. Well I let her have it but mom was the one who had to do the cleaning up. Anyway thought I would let you all know that SJ is warming up a bit. She probably feels bad about leaving everything such a mess.
Time to watch some birds,
Ruben

Hello!

Well Valentines day is over now and mom put up some new pictures of me. I hope you all enjoy them. Make sure you look at page two of my catster plus book too.
SJ is here staying again and she is being a bit unfriendly with me. She is growling and hissing and batting at me with her paw. I just want to play and I cant figure out what I did to make her so mad. Ok so I am a little messy when it come to the litter box but Im a guy so give me a break. I could care less if there is a little litter outside the box or if its all piled up in one half of the litter pan. Hopefully she will just chill out and enjoy life a little. After all she is staying with me for the week and who wouldn't be happy about that?
Catch you later,
Ruben
P.S. I got my new back to the beach collar for summer and it is sooo cool. They sent me a little collar clip with a starfish on it. If anyone is ever looking for a good collar you should look at cat couture online. They even send you a free toy mouse with you collar. This time I got an orange one that makes noise when you shake it.

Mugsy

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!!!!!
To the girl of my kitty dreams

Bird Watching!

Hello everyone! Im sure your all wondering how im doing right? Im doing pretty good I guess. Mom put up the bird feeders again and that means tons and tons of birds to watch. I watch them from every window at every angle, I watch them sitting up and laying down, I watch them at night and during the day, I watch them while I am taking a bath and while I am eating my treats and still I have yet to find out how to catch those darn little birds. Ah but little do they know that I am watching and plotting and waiting ever so patiently for them to let their gaurd down. Then my friends I will bring home the big prize, A little birdie of my own.
Ha Ha Ha *rubing front paws together*
Ta Ta for now kitties

4. Meow more

8. Get one of those things swimming in the glass cage in our basement
9. Eat more food
10. Become ruler of the world

Fire!

Oh man you will never guess what happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Well It all started when I was out doing my morning walk through the house to make sure everything was secure when I seen this glowing light coming from one of our tables. Since this was something I had never seen before I decided to go in for a closer look. So I jumped up on the table to investigate and I guess I got to close because this creature started my top whisker on fire and now its all curled. I mean it wasnt like a full fire on my face or anything but it did change the shape of my whisker. I didn't get hurt but I just look funny now. My mom was stumped to as what could have happened to make it look that way and then she remembered hearing my grandma yell at me to get down or I was going to burn myself.
Hey I was just trying to do my job and protect the house.
Well Goodbye for now kitties
-Ruben

Thanksgiving

Well I guess there is a lot of hype when it comes to thankgiving in the cat world. This is my first real thankgiving this year since last year I was too young to remember it. I hear it involves something called a turkey which sounds good. I have heard many cats mention this turkey and that it tastes pretty good, so lets just say im pretty excited about the whole thing.
What am I thankful for? Lots of things
My mom
My canine sister misty
My warm bed
My full food dish
My cat tree that I can watch birds on
All of my toys
Catnip!
Mugsy my beautiful girl
And of course last but not least all of my friends on catster

My Life

Hello Everyone! Its been some time since I wrote in my diary so I figured I would catch everyone up on my busy life.
First I will start by telling you that I came across the strangest thing the other day. It was big and orange and it smelled really funny. After careful investigation from a far I decided it was safe but then later I watched my mom kill it by stabbing it with a knife and throwing its insides away. It was pretty brutle if you ask me. I guess she decided it wasn't safe after all and desperate times cause for desperate measures you know? I don't even want to know what it did to her but it must have been pretty bad since I have never seen her act this way before. Later that night she started a fire inside it and it glowed all night long.
Other then that I have been taking it easy with the usual catnaps and bird watching. Thinking about my sweet girl mugsy and how much a adore her. What can I say its a good life.
Well goodbye for now,
-Ruben

Hello!

Dear Diary-
Yep its me, Im still alive and well. Its been a long time since I last wrote so I decided to catch you up on my life. Most of my time has been spent laying around and watching the birds. Yeah I know it doesn't sound like much but it can make a cat very sleepy. What do I do with the rest of my time? Eat, sleep and bug Misty of course. I haven't forgotten about waking mom up at 6:00 either. I have a job to do and I can't let her down after all she has done for me.
Well I have things to do but I will write again soon.
Meows and purrs to all
-Ruben
P.S. Yesterday was my 1st birthday and my new christmas collar with the bow tie came in the mail.

Im a GroomsKitty!

Im sure you have all heard about Hazel Lucy and Buddies wedding coming up in September. Guess what? I get to be in it and im soooo excited. I have been Meowing all day about it.

Another good thing that has happened is that Sarah Joe the kitten thats staying with us has really warmed up to me. She has even been playing with me. Life is just so great and to celebrate im going to take a nice nap.
Purr for now
-Ruben

Very Odd

Well today I had my first experience with another cat since I was with my family. I was so excited and I wanted to play so badly but the other kitty wasnt having it. I mean I dont mean to brag or anything but I think im a pretty hansome guy. I have alot of charm and im very patient. I waited at least two hours until I finally got into sniffing distance and then she growls at me? I was shocked that such a terrible thing could come out of such a beautiful kitty. Well I guess she is staying with us for the week so maybe she will warm up a little. Maybe my mom will get some pictures of us together and she can put them on catster.
Well I have stuff to do and im a very busy boy. I have a nap to take, birds to watch, Food to eat, and toys that haven't been played with yet today so I have to go.
Meows and Purrs
-Ruben

Its a Beautiful day!

Thats right folks the birds are singing the windows are open and the sun is shinning. Its a perfect day for a kitty like me to just hang out by the window and bird watch.
Meows and Purrs
-Ruben

Just another day

Well Im back from the vet now and I can say truly say I hate it there. I was a really good boy though even when the whole lobby was full with huge dogs. I was the only cat and I just sat on my moms lap without any problems. So they poked and pinched and did there normal vet stuff for about 10 minutes and finally decided to look at my feet. The conclusion was that they are not sure what it is but they gave me antibiotics and some pain meds so it doesn't get infected. I have been feeling better though now that I got the pain medication. I played for about a half an hour last night all by myself. Well I have to go but I would like to give a meow out to all of my buddies.
-Ruben
P.S. The vet said I was at a good healthy weight yesterday So now I can tell everyone that im NOT fat.

To The Vet

WEll today I have to go to the vet office and im not thrilled. My paws have been hurting a lot lately and I walk all funny. Plus there is a little blood on my pads. Mom doesn't know how it could have happened since I have not been outside in a long time with all of this heat. Other then that I have been the same old me. Today I think I will eat another round of breakfast then take a nice long nap on my bed. Mom is already up for the day since I meowed all morning right in her ear so my job is done.
Meows and Purrs to everyone!
-Ruben

Cat of the week!!

Dear Diary-
I'd like to start out by thanking My mom because without her I might not be here right now. She rescued me from under that tree, gave me a warm lap to sit on and always keeps my bowl full of my favorite foods. I would also like to thank my friends Pebbles, Mira and Malaika for the rosettes that made me feel so special and of course Circles for showing me that I should never take my life for granted because there are some kitties who are not as lucky as me. I just want to thank Catster for giving me the special honor of being cat of the week when there are so many other beautiful kitties out there, I couldn't have done it without you. Last but not least I have to thank everyone who voted for me, the fans and of course my sister Misty for keeping me grounded.
I love you all!
-Ruben
P.S.Finally my charm, good dressing and incredible good looks have paid off. Im single ladies but im always looking for a Mrs. Ruben
Oh yeah and to the people who dumped me under that tree, Look at me now

Meow!

Dear Diary-
Well The Grandparents are back now and that means no more fun for me. Goodbye sweet sunny days spent on the big window, Goodbye Long naps on the big bed that moves and even goodbye to sleeping in my favorite chair all day long. Oh what am I saying Im going to do what I want anyway and no one can stop me.
Today I did the usual wake mom up at the crack of dawn to let her know im hungary. She doesn't understand that some things just can't wait and that if I don't get food right then I WILL die. Ok so it hasn't happened yet but im pretty sure that if I dont get my food right at 5:00 in the morning something bad will happen. Then I felt a sudden burst of energy at about 6:30 and I took a mad dash up and over just about everything in the house and then ended by landing strait on my moms face which officially woke her up for the morning. After that I was pretty tired so I took it easy for the rest of the day.
Well Until next time MEEOOOOW!
-Ruben

More Pictures

Mom signed up for Catster plus so now she has more pictures of me on here. Make sure to check out my Catsterplus Photo book at the top of my page. There are lots of cute ones you wont want to miss.
Meows and purrs to everyone

Life is Beautiful

Dear Diary-
Ruben here again, who else would it be though. I have been having a great couple of days. My grandparents left and so only my mom, me and my sister Misty are home. Mom seems lonley but im having a great time. She lets me do all of the stuff im not supposed to like go on the big bed that moves when you step on it. I also got to watch out the big window yesterday, the one with the annoying pictures. Yesterday this lady who my mom calls grandma came over and told me Im getting really big but she made it sound like I am getting fat. I have never been so insulted before in my life. I thought black was a slimming color but apparently not for me. What if I was yellow with orange stripes would I look like a bus? Im so depressed I have to go do some cardio or something * coughs* Right after I finish off my second round of breakfast.
Besides Im not fat im fluffy... well ok im not fluffy either.
- Ruben

Big Booms

Dear Diary
Last night I was really scared. I had fallen a sleep in the sunny window early in the day and my sweet little kitty dreams were so rudley interrupted by A huge booming noise. I jumped about 5 feet and ran into my bedroom where I found Misty shivering in the corner. I figured this must have been something bad to have her scared to. Anyway I fallowed her around the rest of the night figuring she knew where the best places to hide from this big boom was. My mom came home to both of us rolled up in the bathroom rug trying to keep safe from this big boom sound. We were both so happy to see her she was greeted with meows and barks and you can bet that neither of us left her side the rest of the night. I woke up this morning to the sun shining again but right now I have a date with mouse on a string. I have a good feeling this is the day I will be catching that little mouse. Poor little guy never stood a chance against the Rubenater.
Well good bye for now
-Ruben

Hello world here I come

Dear diary
Today my mom took Misty to the vet. I was so happy I didnt have to go but I did feel bad for Misty. She came back real crabby and not in the mood to play with me. Well I found other things to do instead of course. First I jumped on the window that im not supposed to be in and nocked down all of the pictures in it. Those pictures had it coming anyway they are always in my way and none of them are of me. Then when Grandpa came in the door and started yelling at me about the stupid pictures being on the floor I decided it was time to find something else to do. I went back to my room, the one I let my mom and Misty live in too and started playing with my mouse on a string. Im almost convinced its not real but its so darn hard to catch. Misty always just lays there and watches me chase it and im starting to wonder if she knows something I dont. Oh well im *yawn* getting really sleepy now.
Catch you later
-Ruben

Yeah im spoiled So what?

Dear Diary,
Well here I am at last, a member of catster. My mom has been talking about this for a long time. She is having some problems with resizing the pictures she took of me so check back soon to see more. Anyway enough about her lets talk about me. Someone dumped me under a tree and left me to freeze in the cold when I was only 9 weeks old but luck was on my side and my mom found me. Now im spoiled like you wouldn't believe. She is crazy for me to the point where she moved half of her furniture out of my room so she could fit cat towers, exspensive waterfall dishes, beds and she even bought me a bird feeder and put it right outside the window so I can sit and watch them all day. She is kinda weird but I love her anyway. I only have one sister who is a dog named Misty. She is 11 years old and still has alot of pep. She plays with me alot but sometimes she gets tired and growls at me when I bother her. We go outside together when its nice out and I have to wear this stupid leash that gets tangled on everything possible. I love going outside especially at night when everything is dark and I can hunt. I almost caught a june bug once but it got away. Alright so im not the best hunter but im working on it.
Well goodbye for now I have things to do and places to be.
-Ruben
P.S. I really Hated wearing that pink feather outfit. I swear I didnt pick it out myself.
