I'm Trying to be Good!

Me and my mum have been spending quality time together. Since Tyler left, there's more mum to go around and I have staked my claim. Now I want her all to myself! Sometimes I go to climb on her lap and there's another cat there... and it's not my thing to snuggle with another cat... so I have to move on and find somewhere else to sit. Then I sulk.

I've tried not to run away from the other cats so much. I did hiss at Clyde last night, but that was because I was sleeping on mum's lap and he tried to muscle in... but I made up for it by sharing some catnip with him later on the kitchen floor.

Just to be contrary, when he was on mum's lap the other night, I climbed up and joined him and we both snuggled with mum just an inch apart, for at least 10 minutes! I've decided that I actually quite like the little fella. When I come in from outside where he's not allowed, I sometimes kiss him hello. He's not Tyler of course, but he's ok. At least, this week...

But I've been trying to be good and less of a scaredy cat. I think mum needs to give me all of her attention all the time!
Love,

Au Revoir Tyler

My mum says that my dear brother Tyler has gone to be with Missy and the angels...

I guess she's right because I have looked every where and cannot find him. Not on his trankie blankie, not in his condo, nor on the office sofa...

I am going to miss him.... *tears*

I am trying to be a good boy for my sad pawrents. This morning I gave my dad a face-wash but he didn't smile. He just said "thank you Caney Boo Boo, you're a good boy..."

Then tonight I came in from the garden absolutely covered in green sticky-buds. I thought it would make them smile, but it didn't. Mum just picked them off one by one and gave me a kiss.

I played with my ball and did some goofy tricks, but still no smiles.

Maybe tomorrow... I'll try again tomorrow.
Love,

My House is Upside Down!

There's something going on.

Every time I try to get on mummy's lap, there is another cat there already! It's Tyler of course, who I greatly respect, but I want some mum time too. It wouldn't be bad if he didn't look funny, smell funny, and act funny.

Tyler is not at his best and it's confusing me....

Mum says I don't have to run away, I can sit with her and Tyler like I usually do. But I don't want to, I'm a scaredy cat. Something is different and it's bringing out my nervous twitches. Everything seems upside down!

I'm sitting on dad's lap instead (which I also like, don't take offense dad). But I really WANT to be over there on the other sofa...

I'm watching and waiting to see what happens next. I want everything back to normal, please. Otherwise I might just go and stay at my Aunty Hazel Lucy's house!

Speaking of Aunty Hazel Lucy reminds me of the wonderpurr purr list, and that in turn makes me think of my new friend Boots. He has been busy purring for Tyler (and therefore my house) to get better, even though he needs a lot of purrs himself. I think he's a magnifiCAT.

Please help me purr for him to feel better.
Please cross your paws that my house gets better soon too!

My Aunty

Did you know that I was my Aunty Hazel Lucy's very first nephew? Now there are many! My Aunty is a very special cat.

She cares for those who are in need, whether sick or homeless or down at heel. She remembers the shelter kitties in her "spare time" and purrsonally tests each Trankie Blankie before it leaves her house.

She is a very special and talented kitty. It's because of her that my brother Tyler is now getting Reiki treatment in addition to his traditional treatment.

She does all of this even though she could use purrs herself sometimes.

I purr that Aunty Hazel Lucy and her mum receive many blessings for all the good work they do.

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,

She Loves Me back!!

Wow, I can hardly contain myself! My darling Cauliflower loves me back! Look at the top of my page, she sent me a beautiful red heart. That means love, right? Plus, inside the heart she wrote "I love you". That really means she loves me, right??

I am so excited, I never was in love before. I feel all growed up. Tyler is smirking at me as I strut around the house, but I don't care. I bopped him on the head today (mum wasn't happy, no-one is supposed to fool with the Old Man) but I decided enough of the smirking.

Maybe when he's forgotten about the bopping, he'll help me write a poem for my lady. I'll start practicing on my own, just in case he turns me down... hehem...

"Roses are red, violets are blue, you only have one ear, but I love you!".

Yeah, I need a bit of polish. TYYYYYYLERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
Caney Cat (in love!)

I think I have a crush...

I'm not sure, but I think I might be in love. It hasn't happened to me before so I don't know what to do. Maybe I should ask my Aunty Hazel Lucy for some advice. Or my brother Tyler; Ole Mr. Boombastic reckons he knows all about the fairer sex. He is, after all, in love with Swayback. My sister Missy is in love with Petrie, and even my baby sister Kat has her boyfriend Binks.

I guess I'm a late developer, but I think it's finally happened! This boy has been hooked! So who's the lucky girl you all ask? Well... she's black, beautiful, and has one perfectly formed ear.

My lovely Cauliflower *SIGH*. Do you think she'll love me back?

I've Been Tagged!

OMC, I've been tagged by Turtle and TC! How lucky am I to be invited to play, I LOVE games!

Here are the rules of the game:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.

My seven random facts:
1) I am really a little boy that dresses up like a cat
2) I rarely clean myself like other cats but I wash my daddy every night, even if he's already clean
3) I come running like a dog when you call my name
4) I like to reach out and grab people as they walk by and I refuse to let go!
5) I have the loudest purr anyone has ever heard (including the V-E-T)
6) My hair changed color when it grew back after my "catcident"
7) Mum thinks I'm really a ragdoll because if you pick me up or invite me onto your lap, I just "flop" down at any angle

I have tagged the following felines:
Petrie
Aunty Hazel Lucy
Ollie Pop
Max
Scooter
Diogi
Annie

Have lots of fun out there!

I have a new Aunty!

Hi Catsters, guess what?
Today I took all my courage in my little black paws and I asked Hazel Lucy if she would be my Aunty. I don't have any aunties or god mothers and I love Hazel Lucy very much, so I decided to ask her - and she said YES! Now I have an Aunty - and I just found out she brings me cousins too, so my whole family has expanded in a heartbeat!

Now I have something to brag to Tyler about, MOL!
Love,
Caney Cat xxx

I've Been So Busy!

Hi Catsters, It's a long time since I wrote in my diary, but let me tell you it's been a whirlwind of activity since Christmas!

First Katrina the baby of the family went missing for a few days and had us all terribly worried (mum eventually found her underneath the house next door!) then my big brother Tyler became very poorly and had to spend a few days in hospital.

Tyler is a little better now but he's lost some weight and is being kept indoors (which he doesn't like at all!) Mum is still not happy with his condition and doesn't know if he's lethargic because he's still sick, or if it's because he's depressed...

I'm just doing my bit by being a good boy (ok I still can't resist the drapes) and I'm looking out for Tyler just like he looked out for me when I came home from the hospital.

Busy busy busy!

It's Christmas Eve!

Well EveryCat, it gets more and more exciting every day! My mum and dad went to see some neighbor friends last night, and they brought back GIFT BAGS for all of us animals! The nice neighbor lady works at a Pet store as a dog trainer so I bet she got us really nice stuff. I tried to take a closer look this morning but my mum caught me in the act...she told me I have to wait for tomorrow but I don't see why.

Tyler and Missy don't seem as fazed by this Christmas thing as me and Kat - I guess they have seen 13 of them already so they think it's no big deal (or they pretend to). I did hear Missy whisper something about "turkey leg meat" to Tyler, but when I got closer to hear more, she just hissed at me.

Mum and dad are going out again tonight to see some friends who are now mum and dad to a big doggie called Luna that used to live with my mum. Maybe we can dig into the gifts again while they're out! Hey, maybe they'll come back with more gifts!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all get exactly what you want!
Love,
Caney Cat
