Tobeys' EXTREME Diary

My New Life

Life has been really hard for me lately, and it seemed like everyone wanted me put to sleep. Even the vet suggested it, and everyone who mum talked to about me thought it would be “for the best”. My mum doesn't want to hear it. My toilet habits are basically downright disgusting and it was impossible for my people to keep a clean house. There had to be some solution.

Now I have lost my rights to roam and I had to move into my own place. Tobey’s Crib rocks! I have been confined in rooms before but I am not treating this room like that because I know what a special place it is for me. Let me tell you all about it! It is pink! Bright pink =D I have two big windows and both of my big cedar trees are next to them so I can look out in style. I also have both of my rides set up; my Mean Green Machine and my Extreme Machine I like to take catnaps in them and dream of nice weather to go outside strolling. I also have the essentials like litter box, toys, etc. I have to share the room with a bunch of book shelves, a server rack and computer desk, but I’m cool with that. The computer monitor shows fish swimming around and I like that.

I have my rainbow maker which casts colours all over my room that I like to chase after, but I would also like to decorate my pad with some cool disco lighting that will be visually stimulating. I have a couple of lava lamps in there, so I think I should definitely have a mirror ball too. I’m loving the décor, I have a shelf with my Hello Kitty collection, and another shelf with my other important things like my naked mole rats, my Garfield, a toy cat my mum made for me, my snakes and my Furby. I have more of my snake collection dangling around my room along with my collection of monkeys.

My people want me to get better and hope giving me my own room will help me. I have to learn how to use the litter box all the time again. My people had boxes all over the house before and it didn’t help. Now I am in my own place, I thought it would be nice to get a new mod-con self-cleaning box. Hopefully that will help me. They also want to bring in a bunch of cat-friendly plants for me. It would be cool to really pimp my crib with a zen garden, but I think I will have a salt rock light and a small water fountain as well as my drinking fountain. A bubble machine might be freaking pawsome too.

I want to get better and show my people that I can be good about using my litter box so they will give me back my rights to roam again. Until then, I will make the most of my new crib and when the weather gets nice again, I can go outside in my enclosure and go strolling too.

Mo' Belly Ache, Mo' Problems

Thanks Munky and Jack Kayden for your comments. Angel Jack, I dig what you are meowing, and I don't like getting into trouble, but I don't know how else to tell my people how much I hurt. Piddling in inapropriate places really gets the message across like nothing else :-/
Now I'm not allowed in the bedroom at all. One of my favourite things to do was to snuggle up in my mum's long hair on her pillow at night, but the other night I got caught crying in the closet while having a poo on one of her handbags and the door has been closed to me ever since.
I don't even bother joining my people in the shower any more and I used to love my showers. I just stay curled up in my stroller for most of the day, (my eXtreme stroller is my fave place to take cat naps and so we always keep it up in a corner for me). My mum took me from my stroller and insisted I visited with her for cuddles, but I just hissed a few times and did one back to my stroller. I used to love cuddles and lots of them.
I will be going back to the vet very soon. I can feels it.

Happy New Year?

I'm back at home after spending the holidays at my grandpawrent's house while my people were in Europe having a jolly-good time. I gave my grandpawrent's loads of grief, and now I am at home I am giving my people a shed-load of grief too. This is because I gots a huge problem with my tummy. I have mega-colon and it hurts to poo. I'm a naughty cat and when I can, I poo wherever I want. Today I really upset everybody because I pee-ed in Afro Ken's new tunnel that he got for christmas(I have a bad habit of peeing inapropriately too sometimes). My vet has suggested accupunture as a last resort befor the dreaded surgery as we have tried all the medines and remedies, but I'm not going to let anyone poke me with anything! Dudes, I'm getting really freaked out by my people right now. They are not happy with me, but it's not my fault. I can't help it.
