A good day my foot!

Too dang many people in my house today. I don't like strangers and I don't know Aunt Kaye or her son that well. As far as I am concerned, they coulda just stayed away and I would have had a wonderful Christmas. MOL Momma snuck me a small piece of ham after dinner. Oh boy, do I love ham. That, and the toys and the promise of a fountain after the first of the year, I'm a happy cat. If I could just figure out how to keep these people out of my house. Any suggestions? MOL

Happy Christmas everyone!

Purrs & Headbonks to everyone.

Thank you all...

Momma said that I needed to thank everyone who sent me rosettes and stars in honor of being COTD on the 13th, so here goes....

To Apollo, Athena & Aragorn AND To Imhotep, Shadey, Elliot, Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Osiris, Cleopatra II, Nova & Azizi... Thank you so much for my forever crowns. I've been trying to tell Momma for a long time now that I deserved a crown, now I have two of them.

To Nigel, Isis, Kiki, Kahlan, Aphrodite, Gimli, Tabi, Charlie & K.C....Diamonds truly are a girl's best friend. Thank you so much for my diamond.

To Gus & Keebler...Thank you for the heart. It's so big, it ought to hold lots of love.

To Simon & Reuben...Thank you for my red rosette. Red is one of my favorite colors.

To Leo, Casey, Grace & Frankie...Thank you for the shrimps. Don't get them around here, momma don't eat them and dad can't, so I have to be happy with virtual shrimps. MOL

It was a great day for me. Momma gave me extra treats, with lots of lovin's, Dad posted about me on his Facebook page, and mean ol' Punkin even allowed me to sleep on her "throne" for a while.

Thank you everyone for your sweet notes. Life in my forever home is pretty good. Not bad for a kittie who bounced around so much in the first couple of years of her life.

Cat of the Day!!!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the COTD committee!!! Momma just checked her email and we are dancing around like crazy here. She was so excited, she even called Dad at work to tell him. I wonder if this means that I'll get extra treats today???? Who knew life could be so grand?

I'll be away for a while.

To My Catster Friends...

I'll be away from the computer for several days, as I am taking a roadtrip with my sister and Momma. Dad's in the hospital in Gainesville and Momma doesn't want to drive two and a half hours twice a day to visit, so we're going to be staying in a hotel over there.

To anyone reading this, please purr for my dad, he's really sick.

Purrs and headbonks,
Sasha

What is it with humans anyway?????

You know, Punkin sleeps with our parents every night and I finally decided that I was going to join them. Good grief!!! You would think that my parents had won the lottery the way they acted when I first got into the bed. It's not as if they didn't already have that huge orange beast in there. I just got tired of being alone at night. It's not a big deal, but they think it is. I even heard my momma tell grandmomma about it over the phone. Get a life people!!! I just wanted a soft place to sleep.

Life is pretty good. . .

Hello Furfriends,

I'm sorry I haven't written a diary entry lately, my new momma has been pretty busy lately and hasn't had time to sit down with me at the computer. Life here in my new forever home is getting pretty good. My new big sister, Punkin, is teaching me all of her tricks and let me tell you, they are working pretty well. The begging for our dinner is the best part. All we have to do is sit and stare at Momma, look back at our wet food dishes, then look back at her and the next thing I know, she's filling them with all kinds of good treats. About my new momma, boy, I don't know where she learned her interior decorating style, but I've begun to retrain her. She thinks that scatter rugs are supposed to lay flat on the floor, but I'm trying to get her to understand that they look better all balled up. And the kitchen rugs. . . she has them square in front of the fridge and the sink, but every night, I move them around for her. I think that the free-style is much better. But does she listen to me???? NO!!!! Every morning, she gets up and puts them right back where she had them. What's an artistic kitty supposed to do? She's been working in her craft room lately, and I go in and try to help her, and what does she do??? She tells me that I need to go play and let her work. Punkin, however, is better at this than I am, she just sits down in the middle of where Momma's trying to work. I keep telling her that she's gonna make Momma mad, but she tells me that "the staff" needs to learn that we are in control here and that when we want to help or we want attention, they are to obey us. All in all, furfriends, life in my new forever home is pretty good. I get to lay on the back of the sofa and watch TV, I get scritches whenever I want them and I eat anytime that I feel like it. I even got to go out on the screened-in balcony with Punkin the other day, but it's awfully noisy and hot, so it's not exactly where I want to be. I do, however, lay in front of the door to the balcony and sun myself in the afternoons. I get the best of both worlds that way, I can stay cool in the AC, but I can also work on my Florida tan. mol Thanks to every kitty for their care and concern.

Your furfriend,
Sasha

Another good day. . .

It's been another good day today. I've finally decided that these people are okay and quit hiding in the bedroom. Punkin and I played for a while in the kitchen with a ring off of a milk jug. Momma's happy that I'm allowing her to pick me up on occasion and I'm allowing her to pet me alot. These humans are so easy to please. :) I'm trying not to be skittish around my new dad, but I hope he understands that I don't have anything against him, it's just that it is all so new to me. I've never been one to get on the furniture, but tonight, Momma picked me up and put me on the back of the sofa. I was a little worried about that, but she scritched me around my ears and neck and talked to me alot, telling me that it was okay. I walked across the back of the sofa, sniffing all the way. Obviously, they don't mind having cats on their furniture, since the entire sofa smells like Punkin. So, I curled up and decided that it was the best place to nap and watch TV. All in all, furfriends, life is pretty good.

Busy Day. . .

This has been a pretty good day. The new momma is still working with me, she keeps telling me that everything is going to be okay and I guess I believe her, but it's hard to trust anyone. Punkin and I have been playing tag on and off today. I've only been "it" a couple of times, since Punkin is a lot older and fatter than I am. I can run faster than she can. I'm venturing out more and more and it seems to make Momma happy, she always talks to me when she sees me out and she watches Punkin to make sure that we are playing, not fighting. I even tried some of Punkin's food today and I think I like it! I have my own, but why eat it when I can share Punk's? Punkin didn't even seem to mind that I was eating out of her dish, she just sorta sat back and watched me. Uh oh, dad's gone to bed, time for me to go to bed too. Write more tomorrow.

My First Day in My New Home

I'm not sure what's going on. My rescue mom put me in a carrier and took me on a long car trip. When we stopped, another lady came along with another carrier and my rescue mom put me in it. Then she gave me to the new lady. The new lady (my forever mom?) put me in her car and we drove again, but not for nearly as long. She talked very nicely to me while we were driving, telling me that we were going to be very happy together and that I didn't have to worry, that I had now found my forever home. Forgive me for saying so, but I'll believe it when I see it. My new home is okay, but there's a big orange cat that keeps trying to get close, but I'm afraid to let her. I don't want to be picked on any more. My new Momma tried to put me in a room by myself, with something to keep the big cat out, but I didn't want to be alone. So, I convinced her to let me roam and I did, for a little while, that big orange cat got too close and I decided to run and hide under the big bed. My new momma brought my food, water and litter pan to the room and said that until I was comfortable, she'd let me stay right where I was. I ventured out a few times, but that darned bell on my collar kept alerting the big orange cat that I was coming out, so she'd come to see me and I'd dart back to where it was safe. I slept under the bed all night and most of the day today, but Momma took the bell off my collar and I've been able to move around with out the big one knowing where I was. I played for a little while with Momma and the feather wand and nosed around a little in the living room, but it's still too scary, so I went back to the bedroom. I heard Momma tell my new dad that it's going to be okay, that I just need time to adjust. Maybe she's right, I don't know. . . but I will update my diary everyday, and let everyone know how I'm doing.
