The worst, most sickest joke EVER!!!!

I like to go outside. I like to eat the grass. It's yummy even when it does make me puke.

I vocalize about going outside a lot. Playing around the door and such.

But mama is mean! She finally put me on my leash and took me outside and the ground was covered in wet white stuff! I could barely see the grass, letalone eat it without getting the wet stuff all over my face.

Then she decides to parade me around to show off my humiliation in public while she payed the rent and got the mail. Well when we got out of the office I had had enough! I jumped down, broke free from my collar and leash and ran
and ran
and ran
a few yards up to a chain-link fence when I realized I had no clue where I was and mama was screaming at me. She picked me up all "I'm-a-dominate-mama-cat" style when we got the mail, but them made me stop to look at a guys picture of his cat on his phone.

I hope this ride on the humiliation train is done with for a LONG time.


But I still want to go out and eat the grass. But I think I'll wear some booties next time, I hate getting my paws wet.

We moved our house?!

Wow, I haven't updated in a while.

Anyway, not long after my first birthday we took a long drive to a new place mama called our new house. But then about 4 months ago we came back to my grandmas place, and then took a short drive and arrived at the same house! Outside it's different, but inside it's all the same(well except for some furniture re-arrangement, and mama says the walls are going to be painted now that we're all settled).

Now our grandma comes over a lot more often, so I guess we're back in this town again, and we're not going anywhere anytime soon.

A big huge porch was just built outside, so I get to go out there and play a lot. Except I didn't like going out today because it was raining.


Also mama was so super impressed with The Catnip Cottage in Tulsa and mama and grandma are disgusted with the lack-of-good-cat boarding in this town, so they recently went to visit the Catnip Cottage and they gave mama and grandma the okay and lotsa tips on starting a good luxury cat boarding business in our town, so they're hoping to start that within the coming year.

My first birthday party!

I turned 1 year old on July 27th! Mama says she wishes we could've had a bigger celebration, but we're moving 3 hours northeast to a place called Claremore Oklahoma very very soon, so a lot of stuff is all packed away.

But I still had a party! Mama designed me a cake out of a can of 9 Lives Ocean-Fish flavored cat food and Ocean-Fish flavored Feline Greenies(my two favorite foods!) and it even had a pink candle on it! After mama, Grandma, and papa-Zachy sang the Happy Birthday song to me and I ate my cake I got to open presents! And I got a lot of presents:
A "Kitty Cube" toy(from grandma)
A Super Mario sound-effects toy(from papa-Zachy. He used to wear it all the time and I absolutely love the noises it makes, so he gave it to me)
A pink and white birthday dress(from mama)
Stuff mice toys(from mama)
A "Scrunch'n'Punch" thing which is basically a wire tree-thing that dangles cat toys(also from mama)

I had a great first birthday and I look forward to many many more in the future!

Mewwy Christmas!

I had my very first Christmas! It was fun! I got treats and SOOOOO many presents!

On Christmas Eve mama's sissy and her family came over. They brought my cousin Molly(she's some type of small puppy, she's white and her fur is long and I'm the same size as her). I'm still not sure what to think of that dog.

Anyway mama had me sit in her lap and I got some presents! My grandma gave me a little pink catnip purse toy and mama's sissy gave me a bouncy dangely toy. Mama hung the dangely toy on the patio door, so I can play with it and look outside at the same time!
Mama also gave me a little schoolgirl outfit, everyone thought I would hate wearing clothes, but I didn't mind it at all! After I got used to it, I barely noticed it was on!

The next morning I woke mama up at 7am and we went out into the living room and waited for grandma to wake up. At 9am she was still asleep so we went into grandma's bedroom and I jumped on her because I wanted to open my presents!

I got my stocking that mama made first. There were 2 cans of Iams Ocean First Entree cat food, some 9 Lives Morris balls and a catnip mouse toy in it. Then I opened my presents that were under the tree and I got a lot of stuff!
* Mini Tennis Balls
* Set of 2 plastic Catnip balls
* 9 Lives Seafood Flavored Canned Cat food
* Plastic Purple Purse filled with purple cat toys
* White T-shirt with a light blue heart on it
* Pink and white polka-dotted dress
* Video Catnip DVD
* Blitz TurboScratcher
I love the TurboScratcher! There's a ball that runs on a track around it that is so fun to chase and I can scratch the center of it!

I really enjoyed my first Christmas, and I hope every other cat had great Holiday season as well!

Snow

It's been cold here the past couple of days and today mama woke up, ran to the window and then ran around like an excited squirrel. I looked outside and there was white stuff all over the ground and in the trees on on everything.

After a long time mama finally came out of her room with a scarf, gloves, boots, and some pants that almost felt like thin plastic. She put all that stuff on along with her coat, but then she grabbed the leash and said "Ariana, let's go play in the snow!"

I was fine with this idea for about 2 seconds. After we got out the door i was hit with a big gust of cold wind and it just got worse from there. When we got out to the parking lot snowflakes kept falling on me and I crawled up onto mama's shoulder. I stayed there until Mama forced me into the snow. It was cold and wet and I hated it!

Finally, after getting some pictures mama could tell I really wasn't having fun and she took me back up to the apartment and she went back outside to play by herself.

And now I have no desire to go outside anymore.

Me + Snow = Bad.

My Second Adventure - Trying to Recover From a Deadly Illness

Mama says this event is very important in my life, since I almost died, and that I should write about in in here, so I will.

About a week after I got adopted I started to not-feel-so-good. My littermate had started to feel sick while we were at the Shelter and apparently I caught whatever he had. The Wednesday after my adoption my mama took me to the vet and they said I was underweight(I was 8 weeks old and weighed less than a pound) and had an Upper Respiratory Infection. This scared mama because she read online that kittens can die from that. I got a shot at the vet and they gave mama some pink liquid(she called it an "antibiotic") medicine and some eye medicine in a squeeze tube and I was told to be given that stuff twice a day and we made an appointment for a week to see the vet again.

For the rest of the week I just kept feeling worse and worse and it was very hard to eat. I was acting so sick that mama came home early on Saturday because she said she had a bad feeling I wasn't going to live much longer. She went across the street to the market and bought some whole milk and an eye dropper-squeeze thing and came home and warmed up the milk and force fed it to me because she was so scared. After about 2 hours of forced-feeding me the milk I started to drink the milk from the bowl myself. Mama was a little hesitant with the milk, since she had heard milk wasn't the best thing for kitties, but she knew I needed something. For the next 3 days I drank the milk and ate my kitten food, but was given less and less milk each day as I ate more kitten food each day. It was then that I actually started to feel better, thanks to the food and medications.

By the next vet appointment the next week I was feeling pretty good. Mama told the vet about the milk thing and the vet said mama did the perfect thing. My infection was starting to clear up and I had gained a whole 1/4th of a pound, which they said was a lot!

A week or two after that I was given another shot to clear up the last of the infection, and I've been steadily gaining weight ever since then.

It's been a little less than 2 months since all of that, and now I'm a bouncy, healthy kitten. I was given the last of my vaccination shots last week and at that time I weighed in at a good, healthy nearly 4 pounds(3lbs 14 oz to be exact).

I'm so glad that sickness is over with!

My First Adventure - Getting Adopted

Hello! This is my diary huh? Neat.
I suppose I should write about how I got here, getting adopted and such.

On a warm summer day I was born along with my 5 littermates. I was instantly recogniziable for having the "very light fur"(all my siblings were either black or extremely dark brown/grey and my fur was a mix of silver and tan). Sadly we didn't stay at that place long and were taken to a building with a lot of other animals and cages there. I didn't like it. Me and my littermates all shared a cage and it was cramped and they hogged the food.

One day, I heard the month was called "October", and the other 5 were all in our cramped cage(that was only getting more cramped as we grew) together and a men led a girl into the room and pointed to our cage and said "These are 8 weeks old". "Great" said the girl and she looked at me. I wandered over to the front corner of the cage to see the girl. "This one is very pretty..and the perfect age.." the girl said, gesturing to me, "can I hold her?" she asked the man. The cage was opened and I was picked up. The girl was nice and warm and I instantly liked her and nuzzled her. The girl gave me pettins and cooed over me. "She's perfect" the girl told the man. Then the girl looked at me and said "I'm going to the bank to get the cash for you, I'll be right back and we can go home" and then I was placed back into the cage.

After about an hour(mama(the girl) said she had to fill out a lot of paper work and the bank was kinda far away) the man came back in with the cat carrier and put me in it. I was taken out to the girl again and she put me in a car and we drove to the apartment, where I am now.

So here I am. I live with mama, the 2 gerbils(Elijah and Aidan) and the 2 chinchillas mama recently brought in from her mom's house(Cora and Natalia). I'm very happy here. I always have food and water and tons of toys. mama says I'm very spoiled and that I'm only going to get more spoiled for Christmas.

So that's my happy story about being adopted :)
