Thanksgiving Day

Well, mom is a day late on posting my diary entry for Thanksgiving. It was a nice day. We all got a bite of turkey. I really like turkey. Then it was a pretty lazy day. Mom took a nap on the couch covered in beagles. (Blech how could she stand the smell of them?) I napped with daddy. I like to lean on his legs and sleep. I am really a daddy's girl. The beagles kept trying to supervise mom's cooking. I knew I would get mine without having to do any work. I say, let them come to me with the turkey. She says it is time to get the Christmas decorations out tomorrow. I am going to try to see if Santa will pick up the beags and take them somewhere else. Wish me luck.

Popcorn Tower

I am so happy. My family has done this amazing thing for me. My boy is a Boy Scout and he sells popcorn every year. Well, it is that time and he brought home a LOT of popcorn. Mom had him and dad stack it in the corner of the kitchen for now. I can sit on the top of the boxes and I am so high in the air. I can look down on my beags and feel even more superior then normal. Mama tells me not to get too comfortable cuz my tower is going to be shrinking. :( I don't like hearing that, but for now I am having a great time.

Maddy McCatterson.......Beagle Stalker

Tonight I was enjoying my slaves.....errr I mean my dads attention and that Trixie kept coming in and tried to get in on my action. Dad was brushing the mats out of my fur. I had quite a few. It was nice except for that silly beagle trying to rob the attention from me. I got her back though. It was a few hours later and mom heard Trixie crying. She called her but Trixie just kept crying and would not come. Mom came to see what the problem was and found Trixie sitting in the middle of her room crying. I, of course, was laying in the front of the door and the chicken dog was afraid to try to go over me. All of that chasing her and slapping her snout has made her fear me. That is the way it should be. Of course mom told me to stop tormenting my sister. My what? I cannot be a sister to a BEAGLE. I am Maddy Cat. That makes me BETTER then a beagle. Well, as long as she knows who the boss is. From time to time I will make her cry and I will ENJOY it and nothing can stop me.........Muuuhhhaaaaaahhaaa

Explorer Maddy

I have been trying to escape. Everytime the door is open I am outside. Mom says that I cannot go outside. I don't have front claws. Mom did take me outside on my leash tonight. I sniffed and rolled all in the grass. It was nice. Mom told me she would take me out on the leash every day since I like it so much. I am really glad about that. Mom did take some pictures and she said she will add them to my site. My day of freedom!!! :)

An open letter to the service men and women who protect our- country

Today is a day set aside to remember our fallen heroes. I would like to take that moment and reflect on the brave men and women who sacrafice their very lives for our great country. You are willing to lay down your very life to protect the freedoms that all to often are taken for granted. You have endured hardship and discomfort while I have had comfort. You have eaten MRE's while I have enjoyed homecooking or a meal from a restuarant. You have slept fitfully while I have slept comfortably in my bed. You have endured unbearable heat while I have just turned the air conditioner up when I get uncomfortable. You wait patiently for packages that will hopefully bring a magazine, a deck of cards, some gum, some special treats, while I run to the grocery store at a moments notice. You have watched your friends die as you, yourself dodged bullets, or bombs that are meant to take your life. You have endured the hateful remarks of people who do not want this war, as though you were the one who decided it should take place. You fought for their right to say that they do not agree with our elected officials without the fear of death for saying it out loud. Your family has sacrificed as well. Not having you home each and every night. Having to remain brave in your absence. I want to say to you on this day for remembering. THANK YOU!. It is not enough yet there are not words to convey the pride I feel when I see one of you in uniform. It is not enought to convey to you the pride I feel when I hear "The Star Spangled Banner" or the sorrow I feel when I hear the sad strains of a trumpet playing taps. I am proud to be an American and I am proud of YOU, the brave warriors who protect our country. The warriors who have paid with their lives, the warriors who are even now on the battle front. The future warriors who, because of you may serve their country with the same determination and pride you serve with today. Because our country has a voluntary enlistment you have made the choice to protect and serve this great country. How can we ever repay your decision? How can we ever thank you enough? What words will be the right ones to let you know how incredibly proud of you I am. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is not much, but it is all I can say and I will say it to each one of you that I meet in person. I will say it in my actions when I support you. I will say it in my heart when it swells knowing that you are the brave protectors of America!

Don't neglect the Maddy

Mom was gone for a week on business so my Nenaw came to visit. I didn't have mom's hand to put my head in at night and Nenaw did not let me sleep with her. I was so glad when mom got home. I needed some attention from mom. So anyways I got into bed next to mom but I turned facing her and was laying on her arm. She was petting me and I had my motor running. Well, she started to fall asleep so I had to punch her in the nose. I was not through with the petting and she was trying to sleep after being gone for a week. Did she learn her lesson? No, I had to punch her in the nose twice before I had enough petting and was ready to go to sleep. Did she think that a little petting was going to make up for a week of being gone? I needed lots of love to make up for that week. Well now we are back on schedule and I am now back to my regular routine of sleeping with my head in mom's hand.

Thing in a Bag.....Get one as fast as you can.

Mom and dad bought me a new toy. It is a thing called a "Thing in a Bag." It is great. I don't think I use it the way it was intended but I like my way best. It has this thing inside that moves around. I think I am supposed to swat it and move it. I have discovered that if you lay on top of it, that you can get a pretty nice massage. It was GREAT!!! I got this wonderful massage and just laid there until it automatically turned itself off. A three minute massage. I advise you to all get one as fast as you can.

Valentine's Day

Mom is behind on my diary entries. I was upset that mom did not give me my Valentine's early so I ate her flowers. Ok, I didn't eat ALL of them but I did eat one of them. I have been being a naughty kitty and getting on the table. That is where the flowers were so I had to get up there to eat one. Of course I have been laying on there everyday just daring them to do som ething about it. They spray me with the water bottle but that doesn't stop me. Mom is concerned that I have suddenly decided that I am going to lay on the table no matter what. On the bright side, the beagles got baths tonight and I didn't. I laughed deep inside my kitty self at their having the water torture. Of corse they got treats after their baths which I did not think was fair. I knew they were stinky girls. Well I need to go find something to lay on. Something needs claimed I am sure. :)

Graceful, thy name is Maddy.....NOT

Mom made fun of me yesterday and it hurt my feelings. Dad bought a new printer and there was a box, an empty box. I LOVE empty boxes. Well this box was a good sized box and the sides were all up where dad hd opened it. I thought to myself that I would like to get into that box, as I am a conassuer(sp) of boxes and felt I should check this one out. So I made my move. I jumped up to get into the box and the opened part slapped me back down. I tried a few times but I could not jump into this box because of the open flaps. Mom told me I was not the picture of grace at that moment. Hmmmppphhh, it was not me it was the flaps. The flaps prevented me from getting into the box. You would think that she woud know this but she IS only human. I did finally suceed in knocking the box to its side and settled for crawling in to it and laying down. I hid in the box until mom decided to get me out and throw some trash in it. She trashed my perfectly good printer box. Crazy mom. Oh, well. what are ya gonna do with her?
