Happy Boteday ME!

So tomorrow is my big 1.0! Yep, I'm a whole year old on Friday 13th. Go figure.

Mommy and daddy took some new foe toes of me. Do you like them? They want to get some of me looking extra cute tomorrow because mommy says the first one makes me look extra stinky, which I am but I'm not sposta look it.

I overheard mommy and daddy saying they were going to cook me up a big ess tee ee aye kay for my birthday. I don't know what that is, but if it's anything like the stakes they ate over the 4th weekend I'll love it! I caught one sniff of those things as daddy brought them in from the grill and put them in the microwave and about lost my mind. I was climbing all over the microwave trying to get in there and taste that yummy goodness!

I'm excited. Are you gonna gimme pressies?

BEE FOOT! I have BEE FOOT!

Mommy and daddy told me about the time my angel brother Mika found a wasp inside the glass door and tried to play with it. It bit him and his foot swelled up real big, but only after he ran around the house yelling about it.

I guess I forgot the story... because today while I was on bug patrol, I found this funny flyey bug on the glass door and I tried to confiscate it. It bit my foot, too. Only I didn't scream and run around. Mommy wondered why my little foot was swollen, but daddy soon found me back trying to take the bug into custody and he was watching when it happened... it bit me AGAIN! So mommy and daddy say I have a classic case of "Bee foot" and they say it "stung" me not "bit" me, but at least I didn't go running around screaming like a big old pussy cat.

You may not have heard but I went to the hospital for a few days last month. I was barfing and dehydrated so they were afraid I had what Mika got. Luckily I recovered... and although I'm still skinny I'm back to my usual "stinky self" as mommy says. I'm ready for all the pressies I'll get on my big 1.0 next month!! Mommy says I need a growth spurt because I'm still just a baby for being a whole year old!

Woo hooo!! I'm a grown up bee footed stinky!

Koda's Big Adventure

I love this time of year. I guess it happens every year, I've not been alive long enough to find out... but it's nice outside and mommy and daddy have all the windows open. I like to sit on the window sill and watch the squirrels play, dreaming of going out and chasing them. Now, I've always been an indoor cat and really it's the only life... you don't have to worry about flea medicine, catching sick from other cats, getting runned over by those big rolley things like we keep in the garage, or getting beat up by a cat (or worse a d. o. g.). But those squirrel things sure look like fun to play with.

So this afternoon, mommy was in the office and daddy was watching tv when Holly and I got in a little spat. When it was over I noticed that during the spat we knocked the screen door open. Nobody was looking so I thought I'd go see what this "outside" place is all about. There's a board missing in the backyard fence that this really pretty Siamese mix girl comes through sometimes from next door, so I figured I'd go see if she was home so I could ask her out. Holly came with me, too. It didn't take daddy long to see the door was open and pretty soon mommy and daddy were out looking through the hole in the fence. I guess while they were talking to me, Holly got tired of it and went back inside. I heard daddy calling my name so I stuck my head through the fence and asked what he wanted because I was busy. He grabbed me and took me back in! I was so mad!

The funniest part was that mommy and daddy didn't know Holly snuck back in the house. They were getting upset and trying to figure out how to get her out of the neighbor's privacy fenced back yard and away from their dog because the neighbor wasn't home to let them in. Mommy went in the house for something and... of course there Holly sat, looking at her like "whachoo calling me for, I'm RIGHT HERE".

They said they're not gonna use the screen door anymore. :-(

It's a bird, it's a plane...

We were all sitting there watching Polar Express when we heard two loud BOOMS that sounded like somebody dropped a couple of bowling balls on the roof. Mommy said, "what the (insert favorite explicative) was that?"

Daddy says, "was the shuttle sposta come back today?"

I'm thinking, what kind of randomness is that, and what's a shuttle? But mommy just checked the NASA website and Discovery landed at Cape Canaveral a few minutes after we heard it. I guess being a Florida man for ten years, you get to know what a sonic boom sounds like.

Coooool. My first sonic boom.

heeeeeeeeeey what gives?

Okay, so I'm really starting to get my feelings hurt!

First, mommy and daddy have talked about something called a "Christmas tree" which I suppose must be something like the cat tree that Holly won't let me touch, only for some reason it has lights on it and they keep it in the attic. They said that they weren't going to bring it out because I would climb on it. Isn't that the point? Did I doo doo something wrong?

Not only that but I'm terribly depressed about my paws rating. FOUR? My brother angel wasn't THAT much cuter than me and he always got five. Okay so he had silly crossed eyes and he was a goofball. I hope to be as cool as he was one day, but I'm still a baby. Maybe one of these fateful days I will get a super cool five, too!

AND... Holly and I are "starting" to act like we might be able to tolerate each other. OMG it was SOOOO gross this afternoon! I went to eat my dinner and she --- I can barely stand to say it --- LICKED MY BUTT!!!!

*sigh*

I'm only half a cat

Well, I'm still not getting along so great with my new big sister, but it's getting better slowly. I stay in the bedroom during the day and I like sleeping in there where she can't yell at me.

I went to the doctor last week. They made me sleep, and when I woke up my hind end was sore. I found a scab the other day and judging from where it was, I think they stole my family jewels. *sigh* that means when I grow up Holly will still be meaner than me!

I'm learning to play fetch like my angel brother did. I had my first successful retrieval last night so my progress is very encouraging!

Mommy says I'm a very weird eater because I eat things a lot of cats hate. Hey, so I like a good salad, what's wrong with that?

I have discovered my calling in life... I want to be a bathroom supervisor when I grow up. Holly has that job now, and says if I want it I have to "pay my dues" whatever that means. She said if I can stop pi$$ing her off she'll let me be her apprentice!

Until next time!

Arrival

I was having a very peaceful morning yesterday playing with my birth sister when my breeder came in and picked me up. She took me out and handed me to this bald dude, and he was so funny lookin' being all bald and stuff that I couldn't help myself but purr and kiss on him. I've learned his name is daddy.

Daddy handed me off to a lady he brought with him, and I continued to purr and kiss because they seemed like such nice people. I've learned her name is mommy.

They put me in a carrier and we drove for hours and hours. I was so excited because I thought we were going somewhere really exotic... like one of those places where everything is all white. But, when the ride was over and they pulled up to the mailbox at the new house, the address on the mail they took out said we were still in FLORIDA!! How is this possible?

They brought me inside and I was so happy to be with my nice new mommy and daddy, in my very own house, that I just ran around inspecting everything and running and playing. Then I ran across HER. The blueberry girl they call Holly. She's not very nice to me. She hisses and growls and doesn't want to play. I like her though, she's very pretty and I think given time she will learn to play kitty mommy to me. I just hope it will be soon because she's scaring me.

At night we snuggled down to bed and I slept between mommy and daddy to keep me safe from the big blue meany. I discovered bankies, and that you can burrow down beneath them but when I saw what was under there I came back up. Must remember next time to go BETWEEN the sheet and the bankie. *traumatized*

I'm ready for day two in my new house!
