The Rat!!

Well.....the title says it all. I have this habit of sitting next to the front door. I like to sit there on the off chance that someone will let me out and I can roam free. Cathy doesn't let me out though, she's on the ball usually, except for one day. She was coming home and I had been watching this rat all day long. I'm not used to rats, where I come from there's only field mice. So being in the city I see stray cats and rats all the time. Well she was walking in the door and her hands were full so I thought great, here's my chance. As soon as she walked in the door I ran past her and out the door I went. It just so happens that rat was still there too. I snuck up behind it and grabbed it right behind the neck. I was so excited...I got it!!!! Well, Cathy wasn't too excited about it because she grabbed me by the cuff of the neck and picked me up but I still had the rat in my mouth so she started shaking me and I started growling. I wanted that rat darn it!!!! So as she was shaking me and I was growling, the rat was squealing. Finally I had to let the rat go because the pain of her holding me made me release the rat. Well the rat started running for the door to go inside. I was hoping it would but Cathy got in its way and it ran off into the weeds. I was so mad... I almost had it. I think Cathy was mad too, but I don't know why??? I was just trying to do my job. After that Cathy kept close watch over me to make sure i wasn't sick. I guess those things carry diseases but I'm still gonna try to get one!!!
Til next time

Squeaks

Summer Time!!!

I love the summer. Cathy takes me out on the leash and I get to roll around in the grass and get all dirty. We live in the city so I can't be let loose. Actually she's never let me roam around outside by myself. I guess she thinks i'll run away. I mean I might for a little while but I'd be back. Those things on wheels scare me though. The sound makes me jump!!

The windows are open and I get to lay in them. I love that!! There's lots of birds because Chris put a bird feeder out by the window. What torture!!! I can only watch them get closer and closer to the window but I can't get at them. I think he just did it for entertainment because Pheobe and I make weird noises when we see things. In any case, it's a lot better than the winter time!!

The Rectal Thermometer!

Dear Diary,
On Saturday I had to go to the vet. I don't usually mind going because I like people and I've never had a bad experience until now. Well Phoebe went with me to get her last booster shot and I needed a check up and some shots too. So she was first and everything went smoothly for her so I thought I was good to go. Well the nurse took my temperature with an ear thermometer and I guess it was a little high so she wanted to try the rectal thermometer. I didn't hear her say that but boy I felt it. What the heck! I started growling and hissing and my eyes felt like they were going to pop out of my head. I was trying to tell her to get it out of there. I was so mad at Cathy because all she did was try to hold me still and make me take it. The worst part was that my grandmother was with me.....How embarassing!!! I never want to go back there again. Luckily I have a year before i have to return to that god awful place. After we got home Cathy gave me some catnip so I forgave her, for now!!!

My New Sweater!!

Dear Diary!!
Saturday Cathy and Chris took Phoebe to the vet. She had to get shots and stuff. So I had the house all to myself. It was nice. Then they came home. Not only that, Cathy got a sweater for me. It's blue and green. I guess she liked it because she wouldn't let me take it off. I tried so hard, I even had my arms out of it but then she put it back on me. I guess I'm cute or something? So I amused her for a while and then she took it off of me. Doesn't she understand that I'm a boy!!!! She should dress Phoebe up, not me. Oh well it got me extra attention and I think Phoebe was jealous!!! So that's okay. If you take a look, you'll see a picture of me with it on. Then you can honestly tell me if it's cute or if I look stupid. Please be honest!!

Dear Diary!!

Well well. CATNIP!!!! It's my weakness. It was Saturday evening and everyone was sleeping except for me so I decided to take a stroll around the house to make sure everything was in tact. Well I noticed that the closet door was open just a smidge so I thought, "why not I"ll just take a peak inside and see if the catnip is setting there". See last week Chris decided to buy Phoebe and I some catnip and I kindof grabbed it and chewed a hole in the corner so I could have some. Chris got mad and took it away from me. What do you expect, It's a tease to just let me see it and have a taste....I want it all!! Well Saturday night as I peered into the closet I noticed that the catnip was in my reach. So quietly I opened the door and slowly reached for the bag, trying not to make a sound. It must have worked because noone wast there yelling at me. So I proceeded to pull it out. Chris put it in a ziplock bag. Darn!!! So I had to chew threw that one too. Well I did and thought, "Wow I have it all to myself. So instead of just dumping it into one big pile, I decided to shake it and threw it all over the carpet. I was in Kitty heaven!!! It was wonderful. Every inch of the floor was covered in catnip. Phoebe liked it too but Cathy and Chris are too smart, you can't get anything past them. They knew it was me. What can I say, I needed catnip. Some might say I have a problem.....but I don't think I do. Well needless to say they weren't very proud of me when they woke up. Then Chris got the vacuum out and cleaned it up. I hate that thing. It cleans up all the messes I make. I go to all that trouble and it ruins everything. So that was my weekend!!
