food recall

i just found this. they recalled her food, my $26 six pound bag of royal canin, vet perscribed dry cat food.
they recalled it one day after i had to put her down.
please look at this, and make sure your food isn't on the list..... i wouldn't want any one else to go thru what i have.

it's been one week since i had to put pea down, and i miss her.
i miss feeling her stretch next to me on the bed.
i miss her unconditional love.
i miss her freckled nose, and that spot on her gum line that make it look like she had a missing tooth.
i miss her pawing around her water bowl before she would settle down for a drink.
i miss her greeting me at the door when i come home, trying to tell me how her day went. i never did learn 'cat-ese'
i miss the sight of her trying to cover her food after she was done eating it.
i miss her chasing kibble when one would drop on the floor.
i miss the seeing of her on top of the radiators, absorbing the left over heat.
i miss the photo opportunities. she always knew how to strike a pose.
i miss hanging out and watching t.v.
i miss her looking at me from the window when i went into the backyard.
i miss the feel of her fur.
i miss her sunbathing.
i miss her rubbing her face wherever she could.
i miss my brave bug catcher.
i miss the sight of the tip of her ears before she would hop up onto the bed for the evening.
i miss her chasing rainbows the toy prism would cast on a sunny day.
i miss her companionship.
i miss her exploring the shower after i used it.
i miss watching all the cat yoga poses.
i miss her whiskers.
i miss the sight of her flopping down on the floor at my feet.
i miss the sound of her voice.
i miss giving her belly scratches.
i miss getting ready to go to work, and having her crowd me at the sink for attention.
i miss her dancing and singing for her dinner when i came home from work.
she would have loved yesterday. i opened the windows for the first time for spring. the back window was drenched in sun and a fresh breeze. but she wasn't there to enjoy it.
the apartment is empty without you pea.

pea had to be put down today due to severe kidney failure....
she was my little ray of sunshine, and she will be with me forever.
i love you pea cat!!!

ahhhhhhhhhh....sundays....

the smell of coffee and spring in the air.
a noisy new york times on the floor....
i LOVE sundays!!!

slacker

Yikes!
I can't believe it's been so long since I last updated my diary....
Well, after the cat of the week, it was pretty hard to return to my old life. I mean, my human does feed me, brush, clip the nails, pet and clean up after me. And I DO get the occasional toy once and a while...but nothing can compare to that deep tissue massage. And the water fountain/bidet. And the unlimited treats. And the creepy critters that were released purely for my amusement. And the cat grass. And the laser light shows. And 24 hour sunbeams. And the parties. And the celebrities. And the shopping.....
But I digress. Christmas came and went. The clock ran out on the New Year. I even had a birthday; feb.19th marked my 3rd year on this planet.
Time marches on. I roared in the month of March, and now, my friends, after all this exhausting typing, I must be off now for my afternoon nap….
*yawn*

cat 'o the week!!!

Well, my fellow cats, it was a good ride…
It all started Monday morning; a limo swung by the apartment and whisked me away to the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan.
The week was filled with mani/pedicures, massage, spa treatments, and room service. I had my own waterfall to drink from, though someone called it a ‘bidet’, but whatever! I resided in my own private suite of rooms, plenty of sunbeams for naps, and anything my little heart desired! Roasted duck, caviar, smoked salmon…ahhhh, so very delicious. Of course, I was supplied a laptop, on which I was able to keep in touch with all my catster buddies, old and new. There were parties, club hopping, and, oh, the shopping!
Up and down 5th avenue; Prada, Fendi, Gucci, Versace, Sephora, Ferragamo, what a time! Then on down into Soho; Helmut Lang, D&G, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, we even hit Costume National.
There were carriage rides through central park. Katz’s deli. Spam-a-lot. Times Square. Madison Square Garden. MOMA. Rockefeller Center. A trip to the statue of liberty, I was even allowed up into the crown with my catster pass!
Catster is so generous!!!
But Sunday evening is upon us, and, unfortunately, I must pass the gauntlet over to the next cat of the week. Back to my Brooklyn apartment, dry kibbles, and water bowls….*sigh*

pip

awwwww....shoot!
my human just told me that my "outside" boyfriend, pip, passed away yesterday...
he was an outside cat, who i envied cause i want to go outside too, and he was almost 19 years old! he would come visit me, and we would talk thru the screen.
poor pip!
i'll miss him a lot...
i'll get my human to post a shot of him on my page....

Leftover Hurricane

Yeeeeesh! It’s September, and my human said fall’s coming….
But thanks to yet ANOTHER hurricane passing over, it’s hot, muggy, and grey here in NYC. Yucko!
All I can do is lie on the floor and bake…When is it gonna cool down? At least I have ice water!!!

finally!

Oh finally! I have my house back...
Two MORE humans came into this apartment, and with them, TWO HUGE DOGS!!!!! My cousins, CW and Pilot.
I spent most of my time in the bathroom, while those monster beasts had free run of MY space!!!
hisssssssssssss......
Actually, the black one, they called it a labrador, wasn't so bad. I did have a nose to nose with her. But the one they called a golden retriever seemed to think I was some kinda of toy put on earth for her pleasure. The NERVE!!!
But order has been restored. They are gone, and my human took out that scary, loud, sucking machine, to get rid of their hair. Good riddance, I say!

ups

someone knocked on my door today and scared me half to death!
i was having my usual nap (10 am to 2 pm), just a short one, you know. then that nasty rapping on my chamber door....grrrr....
so my human opens the door and a large brown cardboard square comes in. it gets opened up, stuff comes out, which of course i smell and taste for saftey purposes. my human gets some cutting thingys, and goes to town on the brown cardboard square. it felt like forever, then she sets it down for me to inspect.
oh what fun!!!! i could crawl in and out of the holes. there were skylights that i could poke my paws in and out of. not to mention that warm cozy feeling of being in a safe, dark, warm space that only i could fit into.
ahhhhhhhh.....this is the life!!!
