Happy Birthday To Me!!!

December 25, 2011 I will be 20 years old!!

(Actually, Mommy believes my birthday is sometime in late September/October as I was found right around Christmas time) but the Teen (who is also now 20) insisted we celebrate on Christmas Day.

So, how will my family celebrate my day? BY LEAVING ME HOME ALONE AND IGNORING ME!!! They are going to Mommy's Mom's house for Christmas dinner and I will be left home alone.

So I will sleep, meow, sleep some more, wash, get a drink of water and sleep some more. Sounds like a full day for me.

Happy Christmas everyone!!

November Update

Hi everybody! I'm still hanging in here. Sleeping a lot, occasionally will wake up to bug Mommy for treats and water. I prefer to drink my water with someone holding my water bowl over the sink for me. NO - I am not spoiled! ;)

I sleep every night with Daddy. Once he wakes up, I have breakfast and then go back to the bedroom to sleep with Mommy. When she gets up, I usually get some treats and then nap until late afternoon.

Then I get some more treats, meditate for a while under the lamp, until Daddy comes home.

It's a rough life.

Cat O' Da Week!

Oh.
My.
Cat!

I'm Cat o'da Week!! What an honor! Thank you Catster ♥
I'm truly touched and very pleased by this.

Cat Treats for everyone!!!

Thanks Catster!!

Mommy just opened an email that said that * I * am a Catster Daily Diary Pick!! Woo-Hoo!! More treats for me...once I wake up that is.

Plus, The Teen is home from collage. That means even MORE love and hugs and attention for me.

It's good to be the Queen...and a Diary Pick.

*blows kisses to Catster Cat and everyone!* ♥♥♥

Cat Soup

I don't drink enough water, so Mommy has begun to make me Cat Soup. She blends hot water into my gooshy food and I get to drink my dinner! I still love my crunchy treats during the day. And lately, I prefer to drink my water from a paper cup, that Mommy or Daddy has to hold over the sink at the proper height. And they do this all for ME! ♥

Happy Valentine's Day everycat!!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

SSDD

Same Sleep, Different Day! Not much going on at the Haus of Chrissy. I sleep either in the closet on the Snuggie that fell off the hangar OR I sleep in a corner of the dining room next to the heat vent.

At night, I sleep with Dad usually. Sometimes Mom, if she lets me hog the covers.

Once in a while I'll look out a window or will chase a sparkly poofball that Arnold P. sent me around.

In the evening, after dinner, I alternate between napping on Mommy & Daddy as they watch TV. Then they pet me and I purr and purr and purr!

Old Age is Good.

Old Moose, New Trick

I taught Daddy (Mr. Moose) a new trick! I now prefer to drink my water out of a paper cup; although I will resort to using my water bowls if no one is around. BUT - I have Daddy trained to hold the paper cup over the sink for me as I drink and drink and drink away. He'll even refill it for me as I keep drinking away until I've had enough. It was real easy to train him too - took no time at all!! MOL

Valentine's Day Attack

Seems that a certain young boy-cat ( SPARKMAN! ) does not wish to receive the attention of any lady cats. Well....I say we should bombard him with hearts and words of ♥♥love♥♥, just to tease the fur off him! Anyone else in me on this???

I may be an Olde Furt, but I'm still feisty! Besides, I just love to tease my friends. :)

My Sweetie-Pie, Arnold P.

*(edited to add: Arnold updated his diary after I posted this and today he is doing better. Numbers are better, lost 2 pounds of 'spare groceries', isn't out of the woods yet, but he is eating and purring. Best of all, his Mom and all of us has another day here with my sweetheart)*
* * * * * * * * * * * * *

It's not fair! I'm an old cat and young Arnold P. isn't supposed to go before me. He's only 13 and has many more good years ahead of him. I've lived my life and I never thought my Sweetie would go before me. I would gladly give Arnold a few of my remaining lives to keep him here on Earth longer.

He is the funniest yet sometime shyest cat I know. When I was posting cat's names for Navin's "Bud of the Week" vote, he would often try to submit multiple votes for the Bud he was voting on, using different names. Some days I'd get over a dozen votes from cats named Mildred, Gladys, Bernadette, George, Charles, Roscoe; whatever name he could think of at the time. And he never repeated any name either.

I would giggle as Arnold swore that those votes were not from him but were actual legitimate votes. I could almost see him batting his eyes in total innocence. His sweetness captured my interest and then that lovely day of days, he'd asked if I would be his Girl Friend. I swooned! I sighed. One look at his spare groceries and into his lovely green eyes and I was hooked for life.

I got such joy watching him interact at parties with all the other Catster friends. He'd dance, he'd eat & drink, he'd sing - Arnold could be the life of the party yet still blush at the sight of a pretty kitty in a bikini. Little things like that would just make me fall in love with him even more.

Arnold turned me on to Tuna Flakes and then on to Whisker Lickin's which still remains my favorite treat today. In face, Mommy gave me some right before she left for work! I think of him with every piece I inhale.

The only comfort I can take right now, is knowing that he will be there to greet me when it is my time to cross the Bridge. Farewell for now, my Beloved, until we meet again.
