My yearly birthday diary

Well it seems like I get to say hi to all of you once a year & it's that time of year once again. I kind of wanted to see if mom could/would remember all by herself but I guess I'll never know since the 1st thing she saw when she logged on to FB this morning was Lilac McNoNo's meowmmy wishing me a happy birthday. :D

I've also got some rosies & special gifts from my Catster friends, including a big giant cake from my bestest bud Chipster. I'll be posting some new pictures soon.

Thanks cats fur remembering lil old me!

Heck YEAH! I'm DOTD today!

What a great way to rub it in to my mom for forgetting my birthday 3 days ago! I am soooooo honored to be on the Catster community home page! Thank you so much diary gal!

Happy birthday to me

Can you believe my mom forgot my birthday AGAIN??? How hard can it be to remember it? I was born on 2/2/2 (pretty easy to remember right) or she can remember because it's Groundhog's day. She never forgets any of the other's birthdays (of course they're all in April, but still)
Thanks so much to my friends that remembered! You're the best!
Purrs,
Diogi

More bad news on the pet food front!

PLEASE click on the link below, READ the whole thing & do what you will with the information. Susan Thixton owner of "Truth about Pet Food" states this is one of the most shocking reports she's ever seen. It applies to both cat & dog food, both wet & dry. :(
Heavy Metals found in pet food in ALARMING amounts

Please God; Can I ask you a favor?!

Dear God,
I know that I may not always understand the reasons you have for doing what you do, but I DO believe that you have a reason! I also understand that I CAN'T always get EVERYTHING I want! You most likely know that I am a good cat! I don't push & shove my siblings, I wait till last to eat when fed. I snuggle close to mom when she is sad & I often take the blame for things that others have done.
With that in mind I would like to ask you a HUGE favor! We are all just coming off of a really bad year with too many of my furriends leaving us for the Bridge. This year was supposed to be better, you know like a new beginning; but now 37 days in & sooooo many of my furriends are still leaving for the Bridge. In this past week alone you have taken Alfie, Skye Captain Chicken Legs, Morgan & now Rocky Ann.
I know these cats are healthy & whole but I would like it better if they could be healthy & whole & here with us.

Please think this over & let me know! There are too many families crying too many tears. Thank you in advance for considering my request cause I know you have many things going on.

Love,
Diogi

Today is my Birthday

I am so happy to celebrate my birthday & that mom remembered! I got a pawty hat from my best buddy Chip! On the sad side one of my furry good buddy's Sir Alfie went to the Bridge. :(
Many purrrrrrs for his mommy Eva!

My good friend Dog went to Rainbow Bridge

Palwease join me in purring for my furriend Dog's family as he joined his furblings at the bridge today. He had escaped a couple of months ago & some one used him for target practice. He made it home but was in very bad shape. He had been shot once with a .22 claiber & numerous times with a BB gun.
He survived his 1st surgery & was getting stronger but a 2nd surgery was required to remove 2 bb's by his spine. He survived the surgery but just yesterday in his diary he was speaking about an FIP complication. He just lost 2 of his furblings to this devastating disease a short time ago.
My littermate Misty was killed a couple of years ago by someone using her for target practice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep your kitties inside at all times.
This world is full of evel people that thrive on being mean to us.

My purrrrrrrrrrrrrrs are going out to Dog's family & I know he was greeted by my brothers & sisters upon his arrival at the gates.

It has begun..........

Today mommy is leaving for someplace called Burning Man. We don't really care about the where; only that she will be gone. So please don't worry, nothing is wrong. We just can't get online.
She is leaving today & will return on either Sept. 8th or 9th.
We will miss you all. Please keep our buddy Ginnger in your purrrrrrs he really needs them right now. Also our friend Montoya who is a Gato that moved from Puerto Rico to Canada is having surgery to remove his bad eyes & also getting his pockets picked (these will both happen tomorrow so please join us in purrrrring).
Also we are purrrrrrring for Hooch & Hooch's furless brother Jim.
Sorry we didn't link the names moms computer is still pretty nuts.

We will see all of you as soon as mom gets home; maybe even before she catches her breath.

I'm no Longer a Catchelor

**clears throat** Hello dear diary readers,
It’s been awhile since I pawed anything here. Guess what? I have a GIRLFRIEND!!!
I asked Mathilda Lucinda to be my girlfriend & she said YES!!! I had been so worried about her because I hadn’t heard from her in like furrever! As many of you may remember I was a confirmed catchelor; but Tilda’ is special!

Ha! I showed them who's a fat butt

Night before last mommy was playing a game on the computer & was about ready to go to bed when all chaos broke loose. Lolly was bouncing off of mom & the computer, Pawlette was making mom dizzy cause she was sitting in the middle of the kitchen moving her head in circles & Zippie was sitting in the kitchen meowing at the refrigerator. I woke from my nap & ran to the kitchen; with one leap I went from the floor to the top of the fridge. Mind you it wasn't a pretty jump by any means, but for a "fat butt" like mommy always calls me it was pretty darn good.
Somehow a flying critter/insect had made it into the house. Lolly & Pawlly both made it to the top of the fridge right after me (after jumping on the counter 1st) & poor Zippie never left the floor; but it was me Diogi aka fat butt that got the bug!
