Finally a treat that I like!

After eleven years Mom has finally found a treat that I like. It's called greenies salmon flavor. I just can't get enough of them. My brother Stanley likes them too. Mom gives them to us first thing in the morning and I just lick my lips after I eat them. Very tasty!! Mom is going to have to get some more of them when she goes to that place called a store.

Stanley and I were chasing each other this morning from the living room into Mom's bedroom and back to the living room. Mom woke up and and told us we sounded like a pack of horses. I don't know what a horse is so I don't know if that was a complement or an insult. She said she doesn't know how eight feet and make so much noise. We were just trying to have some fun. She asked us why we had to play this game in her room and not in any other room of the apartment. We didn't have an answer for her except to give us our morning treats. We knew it was almost time for Mom to haul her lazy butt out of bed anyway so we just thought we would help. We wanted our treats and we didn't want to wait until she got up to get them. Note to self--Stanley and I will have to try this every morning to get our greenies!! We just love those things so much.

Well I have to go and try to find out where Mom hid those greenies so I can sneak a few before she gets home from work. Stanley has said he will be glad to help since he is a good jumper.

Thank you Catster

OMC, I can hardly believe that little old me is cat of the day! Wow what an honor!! My Mom was so happy this morning when she signed onto Catster and found out that I was cat of the day! She has to call grandma and tell her. Thank you to the nice folks at catster for choosing me for this honor. I can bask in the glory all day long. My brother Stanley is jealous of me. I say GOOD! I am older than him and I deserve it.

I have to go and take a well-deserved nap and enjoy MY day!

My life with my brother

Well it has been a week since my brother arrived here to live with us. I didn't like him at first and I still don't really like him much. I wish he would go back to where he came from. Mom says he is here to stay and I have to learn to get along with him. Since I love my Mom I am trying my best to make it work. Him and I are starting to get along now, but we still aren't 'best buddies' and I doubt we will ever be. I don't understand the concept of playing with another cat since I have never had other feline playmates, with the exeption of my littermates before I came to live with my Mom. That was 11 years ago. I know that Stanley wants to play but he has to realize that it is going to take me a while to learn to play with him. He is a stinky and smelly boy! He eats from my food dish and uses MY litterbox. I showed him who is boss by using his litterbox last night! That will teach him that I am top cat and I will not be replaced! Now I have to go and see what that stinky boy is doing so he doesn't sneak up behind me.

What's a brother?

Tonight my Mom came home from work and told me that she had stopped by the pet store to buy me some toys and told me that while she was there she saw this kitty in a cage who came up to her and meowed. She said she petted this cat for a while and he is so very nice and friendly. How dare she pet another cat besides me! Anyway she said she felt really bad for this kitty being in a cage. She said she filled out an adoption application whatever that is to bring this kitty home to be my brother. I dont know what a brother is but Mom says she has one and they can be a pain the butt! Why would she want to do this to me? Mom says she feels bad that I am alone so much and this brother would provide me with companionship and someone to play with when Mom isn't home. Of course, Mom still has to be 'approved' so she told me not to get worried yet. She promises me that she still loves me and I will always be her first born. She says this kitty needs someone to love him too. I guess I will try to keep an open mind and give this new kitty love too. His current name is 'Mayham' but Mom thinks she is going to call him 'Stanley'. She should find out in a day or two if she is approved. I will keep all you kitties posted on how this new cat works out! I have to go and sleep on it for a while.---Daisy

my beauty mark

My Mom tells me that the patch of beige fur on my forhead between my ears is my 'beautymark'. I thought that my whole body was pretty! HMMPH. She likes to sneak up to me when I am sleeping and try to give me kisses on my beauty mark too. I hate when Mom does this. She knows I hate to be kissed but she says she can't help it because she loves me so much. She says I should enjoy being loved because there are many kitties out there who are not loved and don't have a loving Mom to kiss them. I guess I should be glad of this. She could have picked one of my littermates the day she came to see us but she didn't, she picked ME! I don't know what ever happened to the rest of my littermates but I'm sure they didn't get Moms who care about them as much as my Mom does. It is getting close to Mom's bedtime and I have to go inspect the bed and scare away any invisible mice that may be hiding under the covers.

My good deed

Yesterday morning I had to do my 'alarm clock impersonation.' For some unknown reason, Mom's alarm clock didn't go off and she overslept. I was pawing at my Mom to get her lazy butt out of bed and get me my breakfast. Mom woke up and realized that it was much lighter than normal outside and looked at her clock. When she saw that she had overslept by 30 minutes, finally she got her lazy butt out of bed and got me my breakfast. My Mom thanked me for my services and gave me breakfast. Her whole day was shot because of oversleeping. I made sure my Mom got up this morning right on time. Her alarm went off two minutes after I got her up. I don't know how my Mom would survive without me. I must constantly supervise her every activity to keep her on track. It is very tiring for me so now I must nap!--Daisy

My trip to the vet

Yesterday when my Mom came home from work, I greeted her with my left ear askew and my eye partially closed. My Mom recognized what was wrong right away, since I have had this problem before. She told me that she would make my ear feel better. Today I had not greeted her by my food dish to get my breakfast and she knew I still wasn't feeling good. When she got to work she called the vet and made me an appointment. She came home from work early to catch me and put me in my carrier. I showed her!! I can read my Mom's mind and I always seem to know when I am going to the vet. I hid under her bed and would not come out. She had to rip her bed apart to get me out. I showed her!! After she put me in my carrier she hauled me into the car and to the vet's office. I was terrified at the vet's. The waiting room was full of doggies. They scared me. The vet said I was the very first kitty of the day. Anyway I was very good at the vet and my Mom told me how proud she was of me. Even the vet complemented me on my manners and told me that I was beautiful. It turns out that I have a small amount of wax buildup in my ear. My Mom was scared that it was an ear infection or something of that sort. I also weigh 8lbs 13oz. That is a big change from about a year ago when I was having tummy problems. I am mad at my Mommy right now but I will get over it when my food dish is empty. I have to go nap and recover from my hectic day!

My goofy Mom

Yesterday morning I was standing by my food dish, looking cute as always, and meowing for my breakfast. My Mom was very tired when she awoke and was talking to me and telling me how much she loved me and how pretty I was. All I wanted was breakfast! Anyway, she put down fresh water for me and reached into the food bag to put fresh food down for me and she put the scoop of food into my water. I looked at my Mom with the most perplexed look and wondered what she was doing. My Mom immediately realized what she did and had to dump out that food and start all over again. I tell you these humans--I'm glad I am a cat. Cat=perfection!! She has been going to something called a fair every night for the last couple of nights. She says at this fair you walk around and eat and look at stuff. Doesn't sound like much fun to me--I would rather stay home and nap! Mom tells me that is why she was so tired. I will have to keep a closer eye on my Mom from now on. I just can't have my slave making these kind of mistakes. I'm going to nap on it for a while!

Nurse Daisy

Hello furfriends, I had to play nurse today to my Mom. She came home from work sick and went straight to bed. I laid next to her and gently placed my tail over her leg and wagged the very tip of my tail. This was my way of making my Mom feel better. She said it helped her just knowing that someone cared about her. I love my Mom and I wanted to do my part to make her feel better. She would do the same for me if I was sick. I am happy to report that my Mom is feeling better now, thanks to me!! I am so glad I could help. Now I am getting ready to take a nap, being a nurse is a hard job!!!

It's been a while

Hello furfriends, sorry it has been a while since I have written a diary entry. My Mom has been busy and just hasn't had time to be my secretary. My human grandma came to visit the beginning of July, which kept my Mom pretty busy the whole time. I actually walked within a few inches of grandma before I ran and hid from her. My Mom was proud of me and said I should not be afraid of grandma. My grandma's dog Carmen (my doggie Aunt) had to go to the rainbow bridge right before my grandma came to visit. When my grandma got back home, her and my step-grandpa went to a shelter and adopted two doggies. I can't understand why she adopted dogs instead of cats. My Mommy says that these two doggies are now doing well in their new home. They were very scared their first couple of days but my grandma has a tendency to spoil animals and kids so she is having a good time spoiling them. My Mom has taken up a new hobby called photography. Ever since she got her digital camera last year at christmas, she has taken a lot of pictures of me. I am totally sick of it!! She took a close-up of my pink nose a few days ago. Mom has this sick fascination with my nose and I'm not sure why. I think she needs some serious help!!! How many pictures does she need of me? I will never understand humans. Why can't she take pictues of birdies? Speaking of birdies, there is a mother robin who built a nest on our neighbors porch. Unfortunately there are no windows that face that direction or I would be sitting watching mother robin and her babies. My mom says every time she leaves her apartment, the mother bird flies from her nest until my Mom leaves and gets into her car. She hates scaring the bird like that but there is no choice. My Mom hopes her eggs will still hatch and her babies will grow up strong and healthy. I would like to eat them! Well my Mom is going to a baseball game tonight and she has to get going. I hope she comes home soon and fills up my food dish.
