My Birthday !!

I am 13 years old today!!

I was outside for the first year of my life. Mom has only a few photos of me of when I was kind of little. She wishes she had more of me. I was such a cute kitten. She has made up for it, for sure. She always has the camera in my face.

I bet you didn't know I had a brother that looked just like me. Mom and Dad called us Buddy Bookends. He was scared off one day by a tom cat in our neighborhood and we never saw him again.

Mom wishes she could reverse time with some of the things she let happen when the neighborhood was overwhelmed with cats. She feels really bad.

But, she and Dad did the best they could. They just didn't know a lot about strays and ferals and the resources available.

Thank you to all of my sweet friends that have stopped by to wish me a
Happy Birthday.

I am thrilled to share my special day with my Catster Family.

Cat of the Day !!

It's my Birthday

Wow, I am 12 years old. Dad could not believe it. He was sure I was only 11. Mom had to set him straight.

So far my day has been pretty much the usual.

Sleep, eat, sit on the table and bother Dad while he ate his cereal this morning, then headed upstairs and slept on Mom's pillow.

Thanks to everyone for starting my day with giftees and birthday messages. I'll thank individually when Mom gives me some puter time later.

Hope Mom stops on the way home to get me some prezzies...MOL

Stray Update...not so stray anymore

On Wednesday night we caught our little stray. She was very hesistant to go into the trap the first 2 nights. She sat next to it and looked in at the tasty tuna. But wouldn't even stick her head in the trap.

Dad said to put some of her favorite hard food half way in so that she would feel comfortable going inside and then as she did that, put them beyond the metal release.

At 11pm, Dad heard the trap. It must of been loud and scary, because our windows are all closed and we were all upstairs and he still heard it.

We (I say that because everyone was curious as to the commotion) brought her down stairs and gave her a warm blanket, a bed, some food and a litter box. She didn't eat until the morning and cried a lot. She did step in the litter box. But didn't go. Thursday she used the box and has been doing so ever since.

She likes the little green bed we gave her and sleeps in it most of the time. We have a blue one that Stripey uses. But we don't seem to use this one as much. So, Mommy says we are giving it up for our little friend.

She seems a little less nervous as the days are going by. But still cries when Mom and Dad sit and talk to her.

We know there is something beyond the door because we can hear her. I still think there is someone outside and keep sitting in the window waiting.

Mom took some photos today and will post them tomorrow.

A name ?? Not sure yet.

Happy 2011!!

New Member of our Family

Merry Christmas to Everyone!!

We hope that everyone has a wonderful day and gets lots of
toys, treats, and goodies. Please think of our furry friends that are not as lucky as we are to have a forever home.

Mom and Dad are up to something. Mommy told me last night that we are hopefully getting a gift that moves, eats (my food), and makes a meowing sound. I may want to see the return policy on this gift...

There has been a stray kitty outside our house for a few months. They have been hoping that she is just someone's cat in the neighborhood that doesn't have a "no going outside" policy.
But after doing some asking around, that doesn't seem to be the case.

She is a beautiful buff colored torti with double paws. We say she because Dad is pretty good at guessing based on the face.
Dad is sure she is a girl. She is now here most of the time and it is getting very cold out. Tomorrow, Mom and Dad are getting a have a heart trap and are going to try to trap her.

They know they may have a lot of work ahead of them. She is very timid but will stay on the step when they put food out. Their friend was away that works with ferals, so it held it up for a while. They also will get a cage to put her in so that she can stay away from us until they can get her tested and more comfortable with our crazy furry family.

So I guess our new year's resolution will be to accept a new member to our bunch. Fluffy's already sitting near the door most of the time trying to move in on her food. Sorry Xena, you are old news...MOL

We will keep you posted!!

Recent Feline Friend Activity

Okay, so this is not really a diary entry.

But I am freaking out!!

My activity has not updated in 2 days.

I am not in the loop with my furrends and what is going on in their lives...

Anyone else having that problem?

Hugs,

Buddy

Brrrr it's cold outside

You could tell it was a cold morning in New England. Even though
our home is toasty warm, after Daddy got up this morning and fed us, all 7 of us went back to bed with Mommy until she got up.

Just as we all got ourselves comfortable and right up against Mommy, she had to get up.

She said she was going to call in and her excuse was that she was stuck in a kitty cocoon...MOL

Roary...ROOOAARRRR

When Mom told me we were going to change my page. She asked me if what I thought I would like it to be? Usually she makes all the desisions on that.

I told her that I would like it to honor my friend Roary. Just like brother Biggles, who has a favorite toy named Beak. Roary has been my friend for almost all of my 10 years. Mom found him in a multi pack of catnip toys at Homegoods. She thought the catnip was nice and strong and that all the cats would enjoy it. Well, little did she know she would be getting me my life long friend.

He and I hang out most of the time when I am feeling lonely or just want to pretend I am in the prehistoric age. I catch him and carry him to Mom and Dad with my head and tail held high. I also make a real weird noise when I play with Roary. Mom and Dad always come running because it sounds like a bad cat fight

But they find me just sitting there with Roary hanging out of my mouth. They usually find it funny because they laugh at me.

When he was lost for a while, Mom tried to make one out of felt. Who does she think she is kidding??? I knew it wasn't my favorite friend. I was so happy when she found him hiding under the sofa.

Mom says after him, dinosaurs will be extinct. She can't find another one like him anywhere. That's the truth because I would know an imposter anyway...MOL

hair ball

Okay, that hairball that I though was floating around the house is actually a new sisfur named Xena.

At first I wasn't to crazy about the idea of a new family member. But she is okay, I guess. A little wild for me and the Bunch. But we will teach her the ropes.

I like that she gets treats and food upstairs and I like to join in on that fun. She also has some cool toys. Mom says they are the ones she had bought us and we couldn't be bothered with them. So, what is making them so interesting now? Mom, it is because someone else wants to play with them. Duh!

I hope to have a photo soon of us enjoying each other's company. If she would just stay still long enough to take one!

Luv and Purrs,

Buddy
