Second Chances

My Pal Arnold P.

It is a sad, sad day here in Catsterland.

I know my family hasn't been around nearly as much as we used to. Mama's job has kept her pawfully busy...busier than she cares to be, but we're thankful she has a job. But, we do keep up with our friends, even if we're not right here at Catster. We love our Catster friends so, so much.

I was crushed when mama pulled me onto her lap this morning and told me that Arnold P had journeyed to the Bridge. Arnold has been one of those cats that you just imagine will be around furever. Of course, none of us are... **wipes tears**

Arnold has been one of my besties here on Catster. He even played matchmaker and helped me and Oly get together! For that I have to be eternally grateful to the guy.

I hope Arnold's mom knows how much we all love her, too. And that we're all here for her, and so are our pawrents. Me and mama have been trying all day to send telepathic hugs to Arnold's mom.

And I have to say, we feel a bit honored, and humbled, and touched to have very recently received the Traveling Brusselball and have it in our possession this week. I'll give it a good nudge for you Arnie, before we send it on...

GOTCHA!!!!!

That's the furst thing mama said to me this morning, and then she gave me a ginormous hug and lots of kissies. I was wondering how long the gushing was going to last before we got down to serious business: breakfast!!

Today is mama's birthday. Last Friday was my Gotcha Day, but mama had to be away for work, so she pawmised that we would share cellybrations today. True to her word, that's what we're doing!!

I can't believe it has been four whole years since mama got me out of that pawful shelter just in the very knick of time!!! And I owe it to Catster. Mama would never have known about me if it hadn't been for the posting in the forums. Still gives me the jitters, I tell ya!!! But it's been a really good four years, and I'm a lucky torti-boy.

I'm getting a special dinner tonight, and while Yo Paulie makes cuppycakes for mama, mama is going to make a cuppycake for me. I suppose I'll share it with the others. Mama showed me the mold for it; it's fish-shaped and pretty big, so I should still get enough cuppycake goodness even if I share. MOL

Mama and I want to thank my sweet Oly-Pie and her family for the pawty hat. Mama and I are going to share it tonight while we indulge in cuppycake heaven!! MOL

Story Time!!!

Last night before sleepy bye, we asked mama to tell us a story. Sometimes she'll read to us, and we like that. Last night she read to us from a VERY old book. It was a little book that she said belonged to her when she was a little girl. I'm telling you, this book must be ancient!! MOL

Anyway, the story that she read to us was "The Three Billy Goats Gruff". She changed it up a little, and made me, Gimme, and Ele' each one of the "billy goats". We all thought this was pawticularly funny, because mama sometimes says I must be part goat because I'll eat **almost** anything (winkwink) and can't seem to get enough!! MOL

So, have any of you cats ever heard this story before??? I don't want to spoil it for you if you haven't heard it, but I'll tell you something: TROLLS ARE SCARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
