Friday, May 12, 2006: Painting

Mommy & Daddy are having most of the inside of the house painted. Lots of strange men in the house, removing wallpaper, moving the furniture, opening the door. I got stuck being locked in the bedroom so I couldn't sneak out.

Don't they know there is grass to be eaten and wildlife to be caught and dissected on the front porch? I think they have their priorities all wrong.

Feh.

Going to nap now.

July 10, 2006

That teenager I sometimes sleep with was gone for a week. The house was strangely quiet yet I missed her.

Mommy was gone for 6 days also. She went to Canada for something called a "Gathering of the Felloship", a Lord of the Rings convention or something. No cats allowed. I was not impressed.

No one left home but Daddy, so I made certain to sleep on him every night. Some nights he wanted to play poker, but I made certain all his games got cancelled so he could spend every evening with me!

July 14, 2006 - I'M WORLD FAMOUS!!

I was chosen for Today's Pick for Diary entries, along with four other well-deserving kitties. Such an honor! Thanks you Catster Powers-That-Be for choosing me! I cannot begin to express how overjoyed and honored I am.

Too exciting!

Going to nap now. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ocean City, Maryland

I do not believe this. The entire family went on vacation and LEFT ME HOME ALONE! For 7 whole days! Okay, GrandMa (Mom's mom) came by twice every day to feed and water me and sat and kept me company for that time. But, there was no one to sleep on at night. I was reduced to sitting on their computer chair, sniffing where their butts used to sit.

And then they came home. Everyone ran to see ME, leaving the suitcases in the car. I didn't know who to sit on first, I was so confused. I ran from the Teen to Mom to Dad, back to the Teen again. Cuddles and head butts and kisses all around. It took me one whole day to feel normal again. I stayed with the Teen in her room for awhile, then I heard Mom downstairs on the computer and ran to be with her. After an hour or so, I realized that Daddy was upstairs, sleeping ALL ALONE! So I ran to be with him, meowing all the while.

Monday, Daddy's parents came to visit and I proceeded to sprawl out on the kitchen table, looking adorable in the setting sunlight. GrandMom could not get over how sweet and soft I was and I reveled in her admiration. Mom brushed me after dinner while I sat on Daddy's lap.

All is well with my world. I can sleep deeply now.

I'm the Only Democat in the Village!

A few weeks ago, some men came to the front door and asked Mommy if she'd take some brochures about them, as they were Democats, or something like that. Mommy said NO, as she didn't need the brochures as she had already decided to vote for them.

They were all happy and excited and I swear, if they were Demodogs, they'd be wagging their tails! They then asked Mommy if they could place a sign on our lawn, stating that Mommy supported them and the Democatic party. Of course Mommy said sure!

Well, the sign has been on our lawn for about a week now. Driving the Teen to school, Mommy looked and noticed lots of signs on people's lawns...all for something called Republicats! Lots and lots and lots of signs and not another one for the Democats.

So, Mommy says it looks like we're the only Democats in the Village!

This news has me slightly dismayed. I must go and sleep on it for a while now.

Thank you!

I would like to say a big happy THANK YOU to everyone who has left me a star or a Rosette these past few weeks. I am so happy to receive them and even happier to make new friends and to hear from old friends.

These have been some quiet weeks for me. Spent a lot of time sleeping as everyone works and the Teen is still in school. Of course, I patrol the house; keeping it mouse and bug free, checking all the water faucets to make certain they are working properly, sleeping on everyone's bed so no one feels left out, finding that sunny spot on the carpeting and absorbing its energy.

It's been quiet but pleasant. I understand the Family will be eating a LOT of food in the next few days and I too look forward to a few choice tidbits.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends! Don't forget to nap afterwards!!

Gee Mommy, what big feet you have!

I did have a big entry to post here, but Mommy jumped up onto the keyboard and totally erased it when she stepped on the keyboard.

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

Not much going on. I sleep with Daddy, I sleep with Mommy, I sleep with the teen. Today I spent hours and hours sleeping curled up in a tight ball on some towels on the sofa that no one folded. Nice and cozy they were.

Then I woke up and made pretty kitty eyes at Mom so she'd melt and hug me and I'd purr and leave claw marks in her left shoulder as she held me. Dinner of shrimp and tuna, some water from the sink.

The Teen gave me some of her whipped cream from a can, which is now my new favorite food.

A rough day. Time for sleep.

Everybody Poops

I recently joined a new group called KITTY CONNECTION, run by the "Poop" Family. (Groucho Kitty, Lucky Ducky, Bandit, and Rickie Doodles)

Yesterday, I was given the the title of Honorary Poop for being the first "non-Poop" member of this new group! What an achievement.

And - Best Boy Bud Navin was having problems in the "litter box" department. I sang him a little "poopie song" and low and behold....success!

Today has been a good day all around. I am worn out from all this excitement, I'm going to go get Mommy and we'll all sleep with that 'lectric blanket tonight!

Rest in Peace Navin

NAVIN R. JOHNSON-DAVIS passed away in his sleep last night.

He was the most cougarific cat ever and will be missed so much.
