A New Nickname!

Dad came up with a new nickname for me and I really like it! Ready? Drum-roll please...

My new nickname is...

"Cool Aed"! Get it? Koolaid/Cool Aed? Very clever dad! And it fits 'cause I am super cool!

The Girl (cat) Next Door

*Sigh* I see her from my window but I am too shy to meet her in person. She is very lovely. I hope one day to say hi to her but for now I am contented to admire her from afar. *Sigh*

---I failed to mention in my romantic prose that every time she sees me in the window she hisses and growls---

6 Years With Dad

Today is the 6th annifurrsary of the day dad adopted me. Or should I say we adopted each other! It was a day much like today; very sunny and cold. I thought, "this is awesome, I'm going to my furrever home!" I was ready to jump in the car for the ride home. But this dad character puts me in a carrier! Humph! I don't need to be imprisoned! I broke out halfway home and dad got a bit worried. But I was just showing my free spirit! And it was just the beginning...

Dad knows all too well of my feisty self now after 6 years. I have not slowed down one bit (although dad would like to maybe get ONE full night sleep after 6 years). And I do really love dad and he loves me. We are perfect together - best buddies 'till the end! Happy Annifurrary dad! May we have many many more!!!

Update on my Auntie

Well it seems that all your purrs and prayers worked well. My auntie had her surgery and is now at home resting. She is in very good spirits and is feeling well. She will have to go through something dad called "key-moe" just as a precaution. But the doctors are very hopeful that they got all the cancer with the surgery!

Thank you all for your purrs and prayers. I mean that from the bottom of my furry orange heart.

Dear Cat

Dear Cat I purr to you today
My paws are wet with tears
Please watch over my dear auntie
And take away my fears

She is very special to me
I love her very much
Could you find it in your heart
To heal her with your touch?

My human auntie has cancer

This is very sad for me. I asked my dad what cancer is and he said it's an evil disease that makes people (and cats too) very sick. I don't want my auntie to have cancer. I love her very much. When I was a kitten she would play with me and buy me toys and treats. She is one of only a handful of people that I allow to pet me.

She is going in for surgery this week. Please find it in your hearts to purr for her. I can't think about this anymore, my eyes are starting to leak...

COTW!!!

Wow! I can't believe it! Me - Cat of the Week! This is truly an honor I will never forget. Thank you Catster for bestowing it on me!

I want to thank everycat for their kind words and generous gifts. I am so overwhelmed by the outpouring of kindness. The best part about being COTW is meeting new friends and sharing in the happiness with old friends.

THANK YOU!!!!!

6 Years Old Today!

Wow, I can't believe I'm six! That is an age when you are truly considered a big boy. Dad still insists I'm his baby and his "Little Aedan" but he needs to face the fact that I am a grown cat! He never will though...

I got some cool presents for my birthday: a new scratcher, a catnip chipmunk and some catnip wands. Dad hinted at a special meal today... I hope he means the shrimp he just bought!!!

I better run around the house and work up a BIG appetite!!!

Poem

Umm... D-dad wrote this poem for m-me *SNIFF* for my upcoming 6th birthday. I think *SNIFF* that I might be allergic to some of the words because my eyes are leaking and I have the *SNIFF* sniffles:

Soul Mate
(by my dad)

Little Orange Kitten I saw your photo,
And fell in love at first sight.
I traveled long and far in my auto,
To bring you home on a cold winter's night.

Little Orange Kitten I first held you,
And you purred so loud and long.
Adventurous and brave, my little Boo,
You surely knew this is where you belonged.

Little Orange Kitty you grew so fast,
Handsome rather than cute; playful as ever.
Your kitten stature did not long last.
Sometimes I think you're too smart and clever!

Orange Cat - leonine and in full bloom,
Still growing bigger and stronger.
I wonder if our home has enough room,
Or if your fuzzy tail will get any longer!

Sweet Orange Cat you are about to turn six,
Where have the years gone my dear friend?
As I scratch your chin and you give me licks,
I know we will be together till the end.

My Orange Boy you mean the world to me
You came into my life when I needed to love.
I now know that you and I were meant to be,
And that you were surely sent from above.
