Diary of a shy, one-eyed kitty

quirks

I saw a meme about quirks so I thought I'd add ours!

Mine:
I lick photographs - they must be hidden from me or they're destroyed quickly!
I'm terrified of new people but I'm the only cat who really likes Baby Adam
I howl in the middle of the night - loudly. And at the basement door.
When I get locked in the sunroom when my howling is bad, I've learned how to break out through the kitty door, even when it's locked.
I chase my tail - a lot.

Bitey's:
Bitey gets medication to help him be more "mellow." I don't think it's working.
He is the smallest one of all of us, but the toughest.
He likes to put his fangs into things, especially photographs. And Lucy and me.
He is the only cat who doesn't sleep on the bed at night.
He's the official greeter - saying hello to guests and Mommy and Daddy when they come home, or inside after five minutes outside.

Lucy's:
Lucy likes to cuddle - she'll sleep with me, or with Bitey, but never at the same time.
She loves milk rings and we find them everywhere.
She has started spraying in the house. And she's a girl!
She has to be warm - probably why she likes to cuddle with her brothers or Mommy and Daddy.
She loves to eat Goldfish - the crackers, that is!

Adam's:
He slaps his thigh when something makes him laugh.
He jumps forever in his jumperoo.
He's not so great at the "gentle" pets and sometimes comes away from petting us with a fistful of fur.
He's learning to crawl - our toys won't be safe much longer!
He never lets any food fall on the floor because he eats it all - we were told this would be a bonus for us???

My Mommy Came Home!

I have the best news ever. Mom came home! She actually got to leave the hospital two days before Christmas so we had a GREAT Christmas after all! We didn't think she'd get to come home at all before the human kitten was born (he's due 2/12) but she seemed to be doing OK so the doctors let her come home.

And the best part is that she's not allowed to go back to work. So she's home with us all day every day.

The only bad part of all of this is that we get lots of company now. People come over during the day and bring her lunch or come to see her on the weekends and that sucks for me. I'm finding that I'm spending more time under the bed than in the rest of the house!

Thank you to everycat who sent rosettes and messges. And I'm sorry I couldn't find the time to thank everycat personally. I just got a lot more Catster stuff done before when she was at work everyday!

I've been out of touch

I just wanted to take a minute to apologize to any kitties who have not heard from me in awhile. My mom is the one who helps me with Catster and she's been really busy. She was in the hospital for a few days (but now she's fine and the human kitten brother that she's growing is fine too) but she's been working really hard at work so that she can go on something called maternity leave. I don't know what that is, but I think it means that she's going to be home with us during the day! So if working hard now means more time with my toys and my mom, I'm all for it.

So I'm sorry if I missed thanking anyone for a rosette or if I didn't respond quickly to something, but hopefully I'll do better now.

I hope that all of my friends had great Thanksgivings!
