Wow it takes a lot of licking to keep my brothers clean. I mean that Captain Morgan guy ONLY licks his white parts. And have you seen him?! He's almost totally black! So there's my big cleaning job. But then there's Purrseus. And I do truly adore my "new" brother, PurrC. But wow he's got a lot of fur! I wrestle him to the ground and then we both just lick each other soggy. It's a real big help when Mom takes pity on me and dunks that guy in the bathtub... And did I mention he LIKES that?! Or at least he doesn't seem to mind so much. It's kinda crazy. But I truly adore them both. Moose is on his own. I'm not licking him.

Wow it's been a weird couple weeks! That box city just grew and grew till it took over most of the house. Then one day Mom and Dad locked me and my brothers in the guest room with litter and food. We were up there for HOURS! And there was all these weird noises going on, and people walking around... Periodically Mom, Dad, their friends would come in and give us hugs and tell us everything was okay. I tried telling Mom over and over that I could tell that everything was NOT okay and that I could hear people dismantling the whole house!
Then she came up with cat carriers like when we go to the Vet! She put them on the floor next to all of us. Moose ran and hid, Captain Morgan climbed into one, and Purrseus jumped in one too. I was so scared! I just climbed on Mom and buried my nose in her arm. She gave me some cuddles, and eventually put all of us in carriers.
Dad helped load us into the car and then off we went to a strange big house! Mom took us inside and tried to tell us that everything was okay... I was just glad to see our bed (Or at least the mattress and blankets for our bed). I ran over and climbed under the covers. Everybody else went off to explore. I just stayed under the covers. I kept staying in there the next morning, so Mom brought me potatoes in bed. And cuddles.
Eventually she dragged me out of bed and made me go to this big room with boxes and a big glass window. All my brothers were there looking out the window and playing. I was scared at first, but then I realized all my stuff was there! My ball in track toys, the scratching post, my favorite litter box, my fish tank!... How'd all my stuff get to this new weird place?!
It's been a week now and I'm finally out from under the covers. In fact I'm starting to enjoy this place. There's all these sunny windows and new squirrels to watch. And did I mention there's a new staircase!?! It has a carpet on it. Which Mom wasn't too crazy about at first, but I showed her that I can roll all over it and purr and play fetch and eat potatoes on it. So she's okay with the carpet now.
Oh and the best part is that Mom can't seem to find a good place to hide potatoes from me! She normally slices off part of a potato for my breakfast and leaves the rest out in a tray for the next day. But lately I find it long before then and gnaw the heck out it. I love potatoes. Purrrrs!

Still living in Box City. But lately every time I try to hop ing a box; it's FILLED! What's up with that?! Mom and Dad seem to be stopping at nothing. They've even taken their pics of me off the wall! (GASP!) This is getting serious. I think the humans are up to something. Geez I wish they could speak cat and explain their sneaky plans to me.
But in any case my plan for the day is to purr and Mom and let her know that I'm pretty happy about all the boxes still. If nothing else they're making great towers for Captain to pounce on Moose from! Bwa ha ha!

Thank you everybody. I love all the attention for my birthday! I heard Mom last week at my annual vet torture day that she's amazed I made it to 5... Huh?
In better news, Mom and Dad have made us a box city in the middle of the living room floor! They keep adding new empty boxes to the pile and filling up older boxes with stuff from around the house. I don't understand why they'd do things like that, but we're having a blast with box city! Purrseus hides in one, I walk past, and he jumps out to wrestle me. Captain climbs on the tippy top of the pile and naps till one of us bites his tail hanging down. Moose likes to pop out of boxes and scare everybody, then pop back in to wait for the next victim. But Moose's big joy this week is that Mom and Dad found one of his old toys in the back of a closet: his cloth folding cube thingie. He loves rolling around on the floor in it and pouncing on Dad's toes as he walks by.

Total Score (Place your score/name in your Diary Title):
My Score is 20 of Feisty Points!
0-5 LAIDBACK LOVEBUG: You are a lovebug. You are sweet (and probably floofy) and you go with the flow. Nothing *really* bothers you and you like everybody. You don’t even mind having a feisty sibling! You are a laidback lovebug!
6-15 COOL CAT: You are one cool cat. Smooth with a touch of mischief. You’ve got a bit of feisty in you and a bit of lovebug. Balance is good; you know how to have a good time by chasing and pouncing AND you know how to have a good time by being a mellow kitty and just hanging out. You are a cool cat!
16+ CRAZY FEISTY: You are a nut. A cheeky little monkey! Crazy, feisty, the talk of the town! Chasing kitty sisters, demanding your human feed you NOW, eating your mom’s favorite pair of shoes, turning on the oven with your freakishly strong teeth just because you can! The world is your playground and you’ll try anything once (or twice). If your human can handle the shenanigans of a CRAZY FEISTY kitty cat, all is good! If your human cannot handle the shenanigans, wait until she leaves for work to get crazy and then blame it on your sistercat when your human comes home! You are crazy feisty (and a whole lot of mischievous fun!)!
Yayyyyy! If you read this far, consider yourself tagged and play along! Great to hear that I'm crazy, right? You had NO idea!

WHOA! I was a Daily Diary Pic and totally missed it! So gee was I excited when Big Harry of the Brilliant Orange Cats Unite made me up an award pic for being a DDP. And then all those rosettes?! And a Duckie in a pond?! Did you see all the watermelon, bouncy balls, and ICE CREAM?! Oliver Winston Parsons better come over and help me eat all that... And so should YOU! Thank you friends for making my day such an amazing surprise. You cats really are the best. Purrs & loves!

Okay, I admit it. I adore it when Purrseus takes over my favorite hangout spot in the hallway. I come around the corner, chrip at him, and then flop over to attack lick his head. And he does the same thing to me when he finds me in the hallway hangout spot. At first I was always annoyed to find him there cause he eats any potatoes I left there in the morning (or hides them from me!). But now he doesn't even have to touch the potatoes, I just wrestle him.
In case I haven't told you, the cool place to hangout in the hallway is where Mom feeds me the potatoes and plays fetch with me every morning. It's in the way of anywhere anyone wants to walk, so I get a lot of brother watching in while hanging out there. Generally I swat at Moose, tackle Purrseus, and if Captain walks by I hop up and follow him. He's my Captain, so if he's eating food I have to eat food. If he's going to nap on the bed, I'm going to go nap on the bed... And so on...
Yup. Life is good for this orange goat cat! Purrrrs!

I was trying to play fetch this morning with Mom, but I just wasn't feeling that into running around. (Which is a shame since she says we're now trying to make a movie for Luke of me fetching!) She'd kinda throw the mouse, I'd wander over to where it was and then flop over to lick my paw or something.
Then she threw my fetch mouse toy into the bath tub. (One of my all time favorite spots to fetch the mouse toy from.) As I was moseying over to get it, I spied the bathroom carpet. I love the bathroom carpet. But what I love about it is that I can beat it up and kill it and barf on it and it still keeps coming back! It even has twin buddies now, so I never really have to be without my whipping carpet... It was laying there wrinkled and dead looking. I just took one sideways, head tilted look at it and gave it an evil Sparky chirp. Then I threw myself on my side to bunny kick the living threads out of that thing! Take THAT carpet, and THAT! Bwah ha ha! I tell you I think even it's twin carpet in the basement could feel the wrath of Sparkman this morning. It was just time to kill the carpet. Again.

Oh I love visitors! My Aunt an Uncle came to visit last night and Uncle left out a t-shirt for me to snack on. Yum! I had to be really sneaky and brave the guest room at night to get it; but mission accomplished. Mom found it in the food dish this morning with a silver dollar sized hole in it. She also found the toilet paper roll partially shredded again; but I'm blaming my brothers on that one. I'm a good little Sparkyman. And well fed! Thanks Uncle, I love you too!!!
*************************************
Note from Mom: Don't worry about Sparkman. An all cotton well loved t-shirt bite should go right through the little guy. Why I just don't know... Goatman!

It's rainy and windy and cold and the humans have been hanging out inside with us for DAYS! At first I was loving having Mom around to hug and kiss; but lately I've gotten tired of Mom being around and constantly hugging and kissing me... Quit it, Mom! Go play out in the rain!!! But before you do, could you cut me up a pile of potatoes? Love you. Puuuuuurrrrrrs!
It is SO HARD to be this cute.
