Hey yuh-awl!!

Mombo says we're supposed to tawlk like that now, since we live in Jaw-Juh. Mombo doesn't tawlk like that. Yo Paulie doesn't really tawlk like that eeether, but sometimes when he's on the tellyphone he does what mombo calls "slipping into it", and then when he gits off the tellyphone and keeps tawlking we cain't understand a wurd he's sayin' and we look at him like he's gawt three possums on his haid.

**looks around to see if mombo is within ear shot**

Okay, between you and me, I can't keep that up. I don't know if mombo really expects me to talk like that, but I'm telling you...it feels like my jaw is getting stretched out of shape when I Do! MOL

Ele' is very excited because she says that some of you still remember us. That IS pawsome!!!! I think Ele' has been a little blue lately, because she really misses everyone here. We all do.

Hope everyone is doing great! It's almost Fall. You know what that means: Vroooom!!!!! **head out to garage to tune up his motorcycle**

Why I Am...Well, The Way I Am

Hey everyone!! **waves**

Sorry we've been MIA. Mombo has been super busy with work stuff, plus she's had uber issues with the typy. But we wanted to check in and say hello to all of our friends!

Are you guys getting ready for Santy Claws? We've got our stockings hung and made up our wish lists.

One of the things that I asked Santy Claws to bring is lots of my food. I eat that Wysong Uretic food. It's really good stuff!!! As many of you know, I will furever have to eat special foods, because of the lifelong problems I will have after eating the tainted Not-To-Be-Named Brand of Food. Anyway, unlike a lot of the "special" foods, this Wysong stuff tastes sooooooo good!!! Nom nom nom! We all inhale it. And I'm asking Santy to bring some, cuz we don't have a lot of pet shops in our area, so mombo has to order it. She says that's ok though. She says she would drive all the way across the country to make sure she gets food that's good for us. MOL

Have any of you made up your wish lists for Santy? What are you wishing for?

Jar-Ja on My Mind

Hey everyone!! Holy moly, it seems like furever since we've been able to visit Catster!! I'd give mombo the ol' stink eye, but I'd have to agree that the reasoning is actually pretty good this time. MOL

As my daughter Molly meowed in her diary, we've moved to Jar-Ja. Now, we're not living in jars. It's a place on a map, and mombo pointed it out to me. The place we live inside of Jar-Ja is called Macon. I think I mentioned that in one of my other diaries. I expected this place to smell like, and be replete with bacon, but it's not. Mombo is quite happy about that.

The move up here was good for all of us furkids. We spent the day in our room when people showed up to load all of our stuff into a ginormous growly machine. Then that evening mombo loaded all of us into our pawsonal carriers - already treated with Feliway - and away we went. We were really good for mombo. We quietly talked to her a little bit, but for most of the 6hr drive we just chillaxed and slept. We were at the new house when we were all finally ready to get out and stretch our legs, so the timing of the trip was purrfect!! The only bad thing was that we had to wait so long to eat. Dang, I couldn't wait to get kibblies and snackies!!!

We spent the first week in the "downstairs". That's where our playroom is being set up, but there's other rooms, too. We didn't mind, until we ventured up the stairs and ran into a closed door. I don't like closed doors. And the doors here have round knobs instead of the easy-to-open levers, so I'm really having to practice with them. MOL Anyway, mombo kept going to the other side of this door, but we weren't allowed. Now, when Chelsea Louise's mom goes to the other side of the door, she goes to another country. I was a little worried that mombo was leaving the country, too. (Actually, she has been so upset with her movers that I'm kind-of surprised she didn't try to escape to another country, but that's another story) But we were finally allowed to go through the door this week, and dang!! There's a whole nuther house up here!!! Mombo says that this is the "real" part of the house. All I know is that it's where her office is, and the tellytube, and the main bedroom. I have never been so happy to sleep on mombo's head in all my life!!! Mombo says she was pretty happy for it, too.

We have some big windows where we can watch squirrels and birds, and...vishus deer!!!! We do have vishus deer that come into our front yard at night to eat the pears that drop from the big tree. I'm going to have to order some repellent from Rocky and Tripper so that those deer don't try to break in and eat me if we ever run out of pears. And mombo is getting lots of bird feeders to set ut around the yard so that we'll have lots of birdies to eat. I mean watch.

It looks like a really nice neighborhood for strolling, too. So we're hoping that we can start doing that again when things settle down here. Mombo still has lots of unpacking to do (dang movers and their late growly machine!) and she's going to be real busy with work, too.

Oh, did I mention that Ele' has a HYOOGE crush on mombo's boyfriend?? MOL MOL MOL

On the Move

Holy moly!! You should see our house...mombo has been in a packing frenzy, cuz we're moving to Macon this weekend. I like the sound of Macon...it sounds like bacon. MOL

Anyway, mombo says we may not have the intynet for a few days. Now I know we've MIA as it is, but we'll be completely offline beginning Saturday, other than on mombo's talky-typy...which I have a difficult time typing on with my ginormous toes. MOL

We do have a question for all of you Catsters: we need to find a v-e-t and a petsitter in the NW Macon area, and would be grateful for any suggestions that mombo can check into for us.

I ALSO WANT TO WISH A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BELOVED PHOEBE!!!! Today is her birthday, and she's chillaxin to cellybrate. **blows kissies to Phoebe**

And I want to apawlogize to everyone for our absence lately. We haven't been able to be active ib our groups, and we know we've missed birthdays, honors, and purr requests and we're so sorry. Between how busy mombo is with work and trying to get ready to move, we've had to sacrifice typy time. Hopefully things will get a little better once we're done with this move.

I'm Out of the Closet!!

Hey everyone! I want to thank all of you for the nice comments, pmails, and rosies. I'm doing much better today.

As a matter of fact, I was feeling well enough last night to come out of the closet. MOL Don't worry, Phoebe, you are the love of my life!! I got tired of being holed up in mombo's closet and I was feeling a little better. And I knew she was still worried about me when she went to sleepy-bye. So I got up on the bed to cuddlebug with her. Usually I sleep on mombo's head or at least on her pillow and squashed up against her head. But that entails lots of hair pulling and tossing and turning, and I wasn't feeling well enough for that. SO I curled up against her back. Mombo said she knew it was me and not Ele' cuz I didn't squeak. MOL She said she really wanted to turn over and hug on me, but she thought maybe I wouldn't be up for that and might get up and leave. So she kept still and so did I, and we slept like that all night.

And then this morning I was STARVING!! I woke up mombo with lots of kissies, and as soon as she got out of bed I started yelling at her to GIVE ME SNACKIES or SOMETHING!!! She laughed and said she knew I was feeling much better. And she gave me soft foodies for my breakfast instead of the usual kibblies cuz she thought my toofers and gums might be sore. Nom nom nom!!!

So thanks again everyone!!! Mombo and I both really appurrciate all of your good thoughts for me.

Woozy is as Woozy Does

Well, I'm home tonight. I got all of my toofers cleaned, and I got to keep all of them, too. Apawrently there's such as thing as toofer vampires...I thought it was bad enough that there are blood vampires and peepee vampires.

I did okay. I have a little bit of an infekshun, so I have to take some meddysins. Good riddance to mombo trying to give that to me...serves her right, I say! I also had something the doc called Ginger Invite Us. I know of some Gingers around Catster, but I don't think I've been invited to anything by any of them lately. So I don't know for certain who this Ginger was, or how he or she got in my mouth, but I think the doc got them out. **scratches head in complete confusion**

Anyway, I'm still really woozy. I just want to be left alone to try to rest this off, so I decided to set up camp in one of mombo's closets. She brought one of my beds in there for me, so I'm comfy. Mombo keeps checking on me, so I guess she's still worried.

I want to thank everyone for their purrs and comments. We all know how pawsome the POP is!!!!

Pearly Whites

Well, tomorrow I get my toofers shined up. I'm treating to eat everything I can before 10pm, because mombo says she has to cut off my food and water then. Everyone else is here is a little ticked off at me because of this, but it's not my fault!!

Mombo is nervous about this toofer cleaning, cuz she says I haven't been acting like myself lately. I asked her who I'd been acting like, and she just gave me a little bit of the stink eye. **shrugs** I have no idea what she's talking about.

So maybe I could use a few little purrs, if you have any to spare. Tomorrow is also a big day for Hooch and Morgan the Pirate Gato. They're both getting ultrasounds because they haven't been doing well, so they really need some purrs.

Friends or Foes....It's Sad

Catster friends, we're seeing and hearing a pawful lot of angry disagreements lately about some advertising here on Catster. For anyone else upset about this arguing, please take the time to read the next paragraph AND beyond.

It's true, that there is a certain brand of pet food on the market that many, many Catsters do not like because of quality issues. I was one of the kitties that almost died after eating tainted food made by this particular company, and I will lifelong health issues because of it. And what made mombo feel SO bad about it, is that she was working for that company at the time. She has paid close attention to that company and other pet food companies since then. Needless to say, we do not like that particular company AT ALL.

That said, we respect the fact the we have friends who may eat that food and may have never had a problem. And even though we do not like seeing the ads around Catster, we know that we have the choice to click away from th epage if the ads do not go away.

WE ALSO KNOW that the pawrents of our Catster friends ALL try to do everything they can to provide the bestest care for their furry kids. So we don't ever want to make anyone feel bad about what they're doing.

There has been an awful lot of fighting going on around here because some Catsters don't like the ads. Catster friendships are breaking up because of it, and mombo tells me that it's spilling over to FB now, too.

Please remember that while you may have your opinion about something, that you should still be respectful of your neighbors. It's like how mombo has friends with different political or religious beliefs. She says that there are no two people who will agree on EVERYTHING.

This ad thing shouldn't become such a big issue that it tears apart friendships and the community. It just shouldn't be like that. There's just too much good to be done around here on Catster. **hangs head sadly and wanders off to find a fresh case of Tums**

Jiggity Jog

Well, I'm home again. I still wouldn't give up the pee this afternoon, so they sent in a PEE VAMPIRE. Have you ever heard of such a thing??? They stole my blood AND my pee!!!!!!

The doc thinks everything is going to check out just fine. Mombo thought I was looker thinner back by my hind legs. The doc said that maybe I was looking thinner there because I had, uh, bulked up some on my upper body. It's from working out. Yeah, that's it. And purrhaps from lifting all of those cases and bottles of Tums. MOL

Anywhoo, so if my Stolen Blood Test results come back okay, then I'm getting my toofers cleaned next Thursday. Oh gee, I just CAN'T wait. I get to have ALL the fun.

But I tell ya, the girls in that office were lovin' me!! Our Ugly Kitty says they're all his girlfriends, but if you ask me there's no loyalty there. MOL They totally love me. I had to tell them that I was very flattered, but I'm meowried to the beautiful Phoebe and I'm a very happy and committed family man. I think that made them love me more though. Human girls are very confoosing...
