7/11/11 - Caughts me anudder birdie and ates em

Today I caughts me anudder birdie in da back yard and ates em. I left his head and beak as a prezent for Catmom and Catdad.

Happy CatMoms' Day

Dis afternoon I helped CatDad find a perfect rose (from the backyard garden) to place in a water dish as an early CatMoms' Day present. I don't know why dey were laffing and laffing at me when, in da evening, I tot da soft rose petals would make a nice little snack for me.
Today CatDad finished making a copy of Flat Skeezix to take wif him to da Wipeout filming at Sable Ranch on 5/9/11. Flat Skeezix will join stuffed animal versions of me and Katie Tulip and Gidget da Taco Bell chihuahua as televised spectators in da bleachers.
Purr-ray dat CatDad wins as he will be donating all winnings to both National Cat Protection Society and Baja Animal Sanctuary (sister Katie Tulip's former home)!

It's my birfday tomorrow (3/29/11)

It's my birfday tomorrow (3/29/11) and I just found out dat I was NOM NOM nominated for Diary of Da Day (DOTD) last Saturday -- what a purr-fect present! I was so happy because I didn't know dat other kitties would be interested in me eating a little birdie! I also greatly appreciated all da support from da kitties when dey heard dat my younger sister Colonel Katie Tulip recommended my promotion to Ociffer rank. I have to make sure now dat I don't get demoted again.
My CatDad and CatMom bought me a sign for my birfday dat dey put in da backyard to warn all da little birdies in da future about me -- it says: "Caution -- Attack Cat on Duty", and it has a mug shot of me so dey know who da new Sheriff is in town now. I will post a photo for all my Catster friends. Purrs and rubs to all who left kind greetings! ^..^

I got promoted today and received a medal!

Today I officially gotz promoted in da household, getting a battlefield commission from Corporal to Lieutenant. I wuz recognized also with da highest medal (The Cat Medal of Honor)for using my stealth, cunning, and fat cat paws in capturing and totally eating a little birdie that had trespassed and invaded our backyard during my afternoon outdoor patrol. Cat Mom and Cat Dad told me though that I could get demoted again if I cause trouble and get in another cat fight with Colonel Katie Tulip.

I caughts a bird today and ate 'em

Today Cat Dad and Cat Mom were very proudz of me when I caughts a little bird in the back yard dis afternoon and den I took it upstairs to gobble 'em all up. Ate da whole bird. Beaks, fedders, legs, head, everything. Since I recently got promoted to Corporal in da household, and I've proven myself on cat patrol now, I tink I just might get my Sergeant stripes from Colonel Katie Tulip very soon! :-)

I got a new lion's cut shave yesterday (7/6/09)

I had a spensive lion's cut yesterday (80 feathers for the shave + 115 feathers for the anesthesia = 195 feathers!)
I like my new designer boots and I still have my shabby tail which is nice.

"Shabby" Poem by Rebecca Strecker

"Shabby"
by Rebecca Strecker (6/7/09)

Nobody knows where I came from,
and I'm not about to tell.
It's a story I keep to myself,
but it turned out quite well.

I found myself where Rick works
and I know I was a mess.
I was hungry and so dirty---
I'll be the first to confess.

Then Rick took me home to Cyndi,
and much to their surprise
I became a handsome kitty,
right before their eyes.

I grew to be nineteen big pounds—
a friendly ball of love.
And fit into their happy home
like a hand fits in a glove.

They say I'm not intelligent,
but how dumb can I be
when I arranged for Rick to take me in
and be a Dad to me?

I have such simple tastes it's true.
Dry Friskies suits me fine.
And unlike other Maine Coon Cats
on richer foods I will not dine.

My older sister, Kalin
left for Rainbow Bridge this year.
And even though I cannot see her,
I feel that she is near.

My new sister Katie Tulip
is as shy as she can be.
Why I often wonder
do the lady cats avoid me?

I love my daily brushing
and I really must admit
that getting shaved on my rear end
makes it chilly where I sit.

If your watching something on TV,
I hope the show is long
for I love to sit upon your lap
where we both know I belong.

I guess I'm just a big dumb guy
who had one great idea:
to get rescued and live happily
with Cyndi and Rick Garcia.
