Playing tag

My sisfur Shadow tagged me to play tag, so here goes...

1. Meow! Are you a noisy kitty or a quiet kitty?
I am quiet unless I want something, then I yell! MOL

2. Litterbox! Cover your business or let some other kitty cover?
I always cover by poop because I go inside the litter box, but I pee on a pee pad on a mat so I cannot cover those.

3. Happy! Favorite Daily Routine?
I enjoy my daily chin scratches and head kisses from mommy, she always makes sure to give me lovings even if I don't ask fur them.

4. Hiss! Least Favorite Routine?
Being brushed and getting my knots pulled on. I know I am not the most flexible but I can twist enough to bite mommy or daddy's hands.

5. Ding-Dong! What do you think about visitors to your house?
I used to always hide when visitors came over, but now I know that if my pawrents are around no one will hurt or bother me. And they mostly don't notice me on the shelf behind the couch unless I move or walk around.

6. Friends! Do you like other animals?
As long as I am left alone I don't mind other cats. Lately I have been going out onto the deck even when the neighbour cats are there.

I'd love to tag you all, so feel free to play in your own diary or just leave a comment in mine.
many purrs to you!

Feeling frisky

Fur an Olde Furt I am doing fine! I may be a skinny olde lady who loves to nap on the shelf behind the couch but I do ask fur love and I do still have frisky moments. I wait by the food bowl to be fed and yell at mommy if she is too slow, I jump up on and off the couch okay, I demand to be let out and I stick my nose in mom's food plate to see if there is anything I want to eat. I may not be able to groom as well as before but if I see that comb come out I know how to run away, and should I get tackled by my pawrents I do know how to complain so they stop pulling on my knots. Mommy has been telling me she thinks I may need another bath. Yes I meowed another, I had one in the spring, apparently you should not sit on a cutting board covered in oil after your daddy chops up sundried tomatoes. I also love to run around the house or sit in the sink to get drinks from different cups & bowls, I even ask to go outside and drink from the bowl out there - a girl needs variety. The fun part has been sneaking downstairs into the yard to chew on grass. Mommy loves watching me adventure and is always ooh-ing and ahh-ing as I sneak down the stairs and hop up them to come home all by myself. Lately I have been sneaking down there on a daily basis, and yesterday I even snuck under the fence into the other yard fur a taste of their grass. It sure is fun being able to do what you want and never getting in trouble!

OMC - COTD

Oh my Catness - I cannot believe I am Cat Of The Day today! Thank mew Catster Top Cat fur picking me, it only took almost 5 years to be noticed but I am a patient girl so I waited. I am the first in my furmily with this honor, and I should be first pick too since I got my page created first and I am the oldest. Right?
And look at me, I am on the homepage with my Octopus Halloween costume! I really like my costume this year, I was a good model and afterwards I stayed in my spot waiting fur more pictures, I probably could have modeled all the costumes without hesitation. Mommy sewed all of our costumes again and this year none of us had to stick our arms into our outfits which made us all happy, well except fur Cooter, he is always crabby when it comes to picture taking.
Thank mew all fur your kindness, I hope this isn’t too much excitement fur a little Olde Furt girl like me!

Playing tag

Many furriends are playing tag so I decided I would too since I have not pawed a diary in a while...

Do you ever wake your parent up in the night?
Never. When I used to hang out in the bedroom I would disappear as soon as the lights went out. And if I wake up mommy in the morning it is because she has slept in really late and I am hungry.

Do you ever tear up things?
I am a furry good girl, I have never chewed or torn anything up.

What is your favorite treat?
I love pill pockets. I love freeze dried salmon. And I yell at daddy to give me cream or milk when he makes coffee.

Can you fetch something when asked to do so?
I am much too much of a lady to play fetch...

Have you ever lived any place other than where you live now?
I was at the SPCA fur a few months, and my file said I was a country girl before than.

I would like to tag all of my Olde Furt furriends!

A tag game

My little furriend Jacqui tagged me to play a game, a Valentine’s Day Tag.

1. Do you have a valentine?
MOL, no, yucky.

2. If not, do you wish you did? Is there anyone particular? Or would you rather be single? Why?
I will only be furriends with furs... Boys are yucky, then again so are girls...

3. What's your favorite love song? Who sings it?
I'll meow that my favorite love song will involve lyrics about a duvet tent, freeze dried salmon and butt spanks.... Is there one like that?

4. What would be a perfect Valentines Day for you?
A day where my furry siblings do not come close to me, a day where I get many pets and lots of treats.

I am not sure who to tag, but if you would like to play, please do and consider yourself tagged.

Being adventurous

I smelled good, it looked interesting, so I inched closer, I stepped on daddy and bit into his apple pie! I didn't go for the crumble top or crust, I went straight for the yummy insides. Mommy and daddy were in shock giggling... It is true, I am very rarely interested in human, especially fruit, and I rarely stand on a human, but tonight I thought I would be adventurous and try!

A new girl

I used to be such a good girl because I would go out onto the deck unsupervised and sniff everything and when I wanted back in mommy or daddy would open the door fur me. I'm not such a good girl anymore, I have to be supervised now because I keep sneaking downstairs into the neighbors yard to eat grass. I act all innocent when my pawrents are looking at me and the second they turn away I run down the stairs. Mommy worries lots because they have dogs and I'm so fragile. She always chases after me but she does let me get some nibbles in and a little adventure sniffing before she makes me go back upstairs onto our deck.
I even did something new, I went out into the alley. That was a first fur me, I have never shown interest before and then mommy opened the gate fur my siblings and I stuck my head out and then ran out and started exploring. I did not go too far because mommy called to me and I went back to her. It was nice and quiet, there were no people, no dogs and no other cats around, just us.
Mommy says I'm getting a little Olde Furt feistiness in me because I want to explore and I am getting more comfortable with my outside surrounding and even strange cats. She says I'm a good girl in a different way now. Whether I'm a good girl or not does not really matter, all I know is that this girl is having fun.

No orange tale to tell

Do you ever wonder where a fur goes or what a fur is doing when they go missing from Catster? I was wondering about Alfie, but please don't tell him, if that orange furrball comes near I will have to hiss, because you know those orangies like to bop girls. So anyways, I thought he was on some mission, or pawing a book because he went 'missing' after being Cat Of The Week. Then today he has a mew diary entry, and it's a joke. It was funny, but doesn't he have a tale to tell? He's been missing since last month... I guess he took a really long catnap instead, I know that is what my orange brofur would do, so maybe it's what most orangies do after a week of excitement. Well I guess Alfie will be happy that I pawed about him in my diary this time, but don't tell, I'd rather take a nap right now then hiss.

Forced lovings

The past year or two mommy has been holding me a lot more, snuggling and cuddling me almost on a daily basis. I get lots more pets and a lot more kisses which is nice, but all this forced cuddling is too much for an Olde Furt like me who is set in her ways. I think she is trying to turn me into a lap cat snuggle bug or something. She has also been trying to make me sit on her lap or lie on her chest and enjoy it. I do not know why she choses to forget that I'm the kitty who is terrified to walk on a human let alone sit on one... I have to admit I have been getting better, I don't completely freeze or get stressed as much. I also don't wiggle as much in her arms or leap off her chest as often and scratch her. I have even stayed on her lap a few times letting her pet and kiss me and tell me mushy things for a few minutes before I trot off, which is better than that my old reaction of running away. I cannot meow that I will ever really enjoy snuggling, but at least I am more used to it and less stressed by being held...so I guess mommy is doing something right, even if I think she should torture my siblings with this snuggling thing...

Brave new girl and a year older

Mommy has been so proud of me this past year, she says I am a new girl, a brave girl. It is true, I have become more assertive and even confident. I have been spending a lot more time outside of the bedroom (actually I almost never go in there anymore) and I spend lots of time watching my furry siblings rather than running away or hiding. I have even been seen hissing or swatting at my siblings to protect my bed (the one in front of the fireplace in the winter) and I don't let them chase me away from my food. I even go out onto the deck when other cats are out there, I've sniffed noses with them and jumped over one once. The bravest thing I have done so far is stayed on the couch while the vacuum was was making horrible noises at the rug just a few paws away from me. I like the brave me, and so does mommy who says my feistyness is adorable.

I also wanted to thank all of my furriends for their messages and rosettes for my Sweet 16th Birthday this past weekend. You have all made my day even sweeter, I feel furry special to have furriends like all of you and I cherish every one of you. Sometimes getting older isn't so bad, I've been getting lots of rubs & pets, and treats too - those Whisker Smackers are yummy!
