Changing my birth date and other important stuff.

Well, this is just a bit embarrassing but I am going to have Meowmy change the birth date on my page. I just had my yearly wellness check at the vet on Wednesday and they looked up my records. It appears that I was born sometime in July! Yep, so Meowmy says that since I am fire cracker that July seems fitting. So, I will be 13 in July. I am embarrassed that I had the wrong birth date listed on my page but Meowmy just couldn't remember when she got me; now we know for sure. I was adopted along with my brother and had my first kitten shots in August; so the vet guesses that I was born in July; sounds good to me.

I also want to thank our many friends who sent gifties in honor of Mother's Day for all of our pages. We have been very lax and way behind in thanking everyone; so I want to be sure to do that now. You all know who you are and we love each and every one of you. Thank you for thinking of us. We hope that everyone and their Mommie's had a great day and got to spend lots of quality time together.

And last but not least, I want to thank everyone who has sent their concatulations, comments and gifts to me today also, for being chosen DDP. And thank you so much, Jameson for the mighty fine picture that you made for me. It looks good on my page and I apurrciate it so much. Head bonks and whisker rubs to all. Mwah *blows kisses and takes a bow*

Thank you all for the birthday wishes

I just would like to take a quick moment to thank all of my wonderful paw pals for remembering me on my special day today. Thank mews all for the prezzies, notes and kind thoughts. I had a pawsome day with lots of warm sunshine, good food and best of all great friends. I think that a cat could never wish for anything more. Manly hugs and head bonks to you all. I've tried to send a small but heartfelt thank you giftie to each and every one of you and you all know who you are. I love my friends on Catster!

Spring time fun

I have been tagged by my good friend Percy! To play tag, you need to copy my diary and then change the answers, then tag 5 more friends!
Five Things I Like About Spring:

1. Warmer sunshine
2. I can follow Meowmy outside and roll around in the grass
3. Sitting on the deck in the sunshine with my best friend, Java. (our dog)
4. Watching the robins hopping around in the yard
5. Smelling the flowers

Happy Easter dearest Friends

Tag! I've been tagged by my friend, Spirit!!

Subject: Tag! Sent: Fri Aug 24

Tag! You're It, just copy and paste in your diary the questions below with your answers, then tag 5 friends. have fun!

"Who are you really?"

1) Tell me your funny Christmas story.

Hmmmm, can't really think of anything too exciting since I was an outside kitty during my younger years and didn't get to enjoy any Christmases inside until I was a little older. So no tree climbing incidents or anything but I do love to sleep on the tree skirt underneath the tree when the lights are turned on. We got a nice, new; really big tree for this year so there might even be room for ole Pickles too! Nah!!!

2) Where's your favorite hiding place when playing hide and go seek?

Oh, I have all kinds of hiding places. I really like to hide out at the top of the cat tree but when company comes I usually head for the basement and my hiding place down there is so secret that no one; not even Meowmy can find me!

3) What did you dream of being as a young kit?

A big ferocious jungle cat, of course. Isn't that every kitty's dream?

4) What's your favorite hobby? Anything goes.

My favorite hobbies are eating, sleeping and eating. Did I mention that I like to eat? I also like to go outside occasionally and get a sniff of fresh air and then take an afternoon nap in the garage on top of the car.

5) Whats your one "bad habit" that you love and your Mom hates?

Sharpening my nails on the carpet and the furniture! *Blush*

6) If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

Oh, to the zoo, for sure. I would love to see the big cats and get some tips from them on how to be more intimidating!

7) What is your guilty pleasure? Food, skirts and suits or cars? What?

Gee, that's a tough one but I guess that it would have to be FOOD!!!!!

8) What is your favorite make believe monster? And yes girls, unicorns and fairies are included. Post a pic of this mysterious beast.

Oh, that sucky monster that Meowmy runs across the carpets! I don't scare easily but I head to my best hiding spot when she pulls that thing out. It really isn't a make believe monster but it is a REAL one! Yikes!

9) What is the one dreaded thing you have to do at home? Babysitting, taking baths, entertaining guests....what is your dread?

Taking a bath definitely! No one has ever dared to get "The Tuff Man" wet! I just flex my muscles and spread my big ole mitten paws and no one gives bath time another consideration! I must admit that I don't care a lot for babysitting either. When the grand kids come, I vamoose!

10) I’m not so sure if Zach and Zoe are going to have coed ships this year or not, but in any case, which ship would you want to be on: Zach’s, or Zoe’s?

Note: to be honest, I'm not sure what that is...it may be a girl versus guy thing

Hmmm, I'm not sure what this is either but I will pick Zach! Sounds like a he-cat kind of name!


I will tag Moose, Tinkerbelle, Bugsy, Blossom, Spice E. and My Sweet Lady. I know that is more than "5" but it is so hard to choose!

Thank you to all my dear friends for the birthday gifts and- greetings!

Oh my goodness, what a pawtabulous day I had yesterday. It was my birthday and what fun I had. Yes, I am a day late in getting my thank-yous but that is "my secretary's" fault (she is soooo slow sometimes) and I was having so much fun partying that I just didn't have time yesterday. So today, I want to thank each and every one of my dear friends for their kindness, the pressies and messages and for making my birthday so special.

I got a wonderful sushi with a nice message inside from friends Milo, Mallee, Sam, Smokey Joe, Timmy 'n Zig. Thank you dear ones, I love food, as you know and the sushi was really yummy.

Spirit sent a party hat and a sweet message inside. Thank you sweetness.

I received a Blue Ribbon and birthday greetings from Big Harry-Dreamboat #57, Patches, Angel Abigail, Zack and the rest of their family. That was so sweet and thoughtful. I will hang the blue ribbon above my cat tree. Boy, won't Pickles be jealous? MOL

I also received another Sushi from my dear friend Norman and his family. Norman said that he hoped that I got a nice chicken dinner for my birthday. No such lucky, buddy, but Meowmy does allow me to go into the bathroom and look at the young peeps that she has in a tub inside the bathtub. Little does she know that I am not only observing but I am also drooling! *smacks lips* (Just waitin' for the skinny little legs to plump up a bit)!!

I got a nice shrimpie from Lucy, Logan (in loving memory), Taylor (in loving memory) and Sammy (in loving memory). Boy, do these friends know that I like to eat, or what? Thank you dear ones, I love shrimpies!

Then there was a nice hunk of cheese from my furry bestest buddies in Wisconsin with a funny note inside. I just bet that cheese was Wisconsin cheese! Thanks Moose, Hobo, Marley and Sailor. (Thanks for all the fun at the party and the lovely cake that Hobo baked)

I also received a cuppie cake from my buddy Wilson. And do you know what? We had a party in one of our groups yesterday and Wilson brought along jet paks for all of us. Boy, talk about flyin' high! We had so much fun. Thanks Wilson J. Scooter. What a fun time.

Macy was at the party too and brought along kites for us to fly. I never saw such pretty, fancy kites. What fun. Macy sent a party hat and a birthday greeting inside. Thanks Macy for the gift and the wagon ride with Butterfly and the trip to the DQ. Glad that Butterfly had fun too!

I also received a purrty blue bird with a greeting inside from Smiley Cassanova. Thanks Smiley, I love birds; especially blue ones!

And I would like to thank Catster too for the birthday cake and the birthday wishes too.

Whew! That's a lot of thank yous to write and I am still tired from partying yesterday. I think that I'll go rest my little paws for awhile and enjoy my gifties and that purrty blue ribbon hanging above my cat tree. *glares at Pickles and grins* Thanks to all for making my birthday such a fun and special day.

Manly hugs,
Tuffy

Thank you all. You are all very special to me!

More thank yous

*Tuffy yawns and stretches* Ho hum! Well, now that I finally got my human to sit at the catputer, it is time for my nap! But I do want to finish up my thank yous to so many of my wonderful friends.

First, I want to thank my furry special friends, Norman, Wanda, Tess, Rupert and the rest of their family for the beautiful forever crown. *Adjusts his crown and grins* I feel like real royalty! Thank you sweet friends.

I also received a special blue ribbon from a dear friend Sunny. (She is a cute little doggie) but that's ok. I like SOME doggies! MOL Thanks for the ribbon and the champaign glasses with the sweet note Sunny!

Next was a big drumstick from the family of Octavian and Odin. Mmmmm, now that's what I call a good prezzie and good eatin'. Thanks for the sweet note too dear friends.

I also received another whole, juicy turkey from Emma, Ginny, Charlie, Molly and the rest of their family. Thank you so much sweet friends. Ginny, shall we add some "beans" to our feast? MOL

And to top it all off, I also received two nice slices of pumpkin pie along with very sweet notes of concatulations from Perla and from Ginger. Say, isn't pumpkin pie made with Ginger? MOL!! Thank you dear friends.

It has been a pawtastic week and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I want to thank all of my very special friends and I even made some new friends this week and that is just pawsome. I am so glad to have had so many friends to share in my special day. I appreciate all of the gifts, notes and pawmails; but most especially the friendship. Thank you one and all.

Now, I've got to catch up on my beauty rest. After such an exciting week, it has been hard to get caught up on my sleep! I have a lot of lost cat naps to make up for. So goodnight one and all. I am sure to have happy dreams about all of my sweet friends.

Zzzzzzzz,
Tuffy

Please stay tuned!

My typist (Meowmy) has been AWOL all day long and now she says that she is falling asleep at the catputer cuz she got up furry early this morning. Well, pffffftttttt!!

I promise that I will make her get back here this weekend and help me to finish up all of my thank yous. I do not want my dear friends to think that I've neglected them and I do appurrciate their gifts, pawmails and notes so furry much. As I said earlier, it is just so hard to get good help and I am all "thumbs" (since I'm a polydactyl kitteh) when it comes to typing. I promise to get all caught up furry soon.

*Glares at Meowmy and hisses; then hikes his tail and stalks off*

Additional thank yous

Oh my goodness, I failed to mention some of my other special events today.

First of all I received an e-mail from Buddy (Always Loved) with a cute poem and congratulations on my COTD award. He and his siblings, Biggs and Cash and Angels McKenna, Mookie Angel and Ricki also sent me a very nice 2nd pawmail too. I love getting mail. Thank you sweet friends.

I also received a very nice pawmail from our sweet friend Mr Sam (At the Bridge). He and I are sharing a feast to celebrate along with pumpkin pie for dessert. *Rubs tummy*

Grace sent me a very sweet note too and I sure appreciate all of her kind words and compliments. Meowza!

And last but not least (I should have mentioned this to start with). I want to thank the furry pawsome Manytoes for the really neat picture that he made and sent to me to display on my page. Love the blue seaside frame and thank you so much for doing that for me Manytoes. That was so kind of you.

Big manly hugs to all.
Tuffy
