yay!

It's a snow day. That means all my family is home with me. Now I can pester them (I mean lovingly encourage) them to feed me. My dad has some kind of crazy idea that he can put me on a diet. I mean, I do have a waddle that is down to my knees, but come on! I had so many of my teeth removed I have to eat more. I know that might not make sense to you, but it does to me!

Now that it's winter my family is not even leaving the skylights open so I can't get my usual roof-climbing in. I mean that's a great workout. So I am stuck with forearm workouts on Sienna's (the best dog in the world) chest. I don't understand why she yells at me sometimes. I bet she is just encouraging me to work harder. If only she could help me find me some fish. I mean the good stuff, not that crap in a bag. Then I could go on an Atkins diet.

Well, back to cleaning my waddle, I mean stomach.

Kisses, Heather

diet not going well

I am not happy with this diet. I am only getting breakfast but no dinner! Dad says it's enough to last 2 meals but that's not true. I need much more. So I have been jumping on top of mom to encourage her to feed me. So far, she only gave me some pounce.

Yay! When she got home today I had a new ball of something that smelled really good. And it made me get really excited. Humans call is something like catnip. I like it. My brother Zuki (dog) tried to eat it. I got to hide it now.

Happy Holidays and I hope you all get some catnip!

love heather

upchuck

Hi cat pals,

Well, I played with my catnip all yesterday and last night. I curled up on my mom's favorite chair and she had to move me to my bed. I was really confused and tired. I forgot to even eat my food. my dad was shocked. He even had to try to convince me to eat. Well all the food came up this morning on the floor. My dad stepped in it! He was pretty mad and had to get out the carpet cleaner. Whatever that is.

Now I'm taking a break from that bag of catnip and going to sleep next to my sister. She thinks she owns the bed but I don't think so!

love,
Heather

so lonely!

Hi to my fellow cats,

I'm so lonely! My sister dog and brother dog left this morning. I kept waiting by the door for them to get back. I cried for them but they didn't return. Now my mom and dad have their bags packed. I tried to jump into my mom's suitcase but then she zipped it shut. Darn! Then she put a whole bunch of toys on the floor for me. And filled my water bowl.

Oh well, it is so quiet here. I guess I'll just take a nap and wait for them to come back....

Love (the newly titled)Lady Heather

they're back!

Hey pals,

You've been great company and all but I wanted to let you know my dog pals are back!! I missed them so much. I had this human here with me, but he didn't seem to understand my compulsive need for snuggling, pets, and attention. He didn't really appreciate my drool either. I mean, hey, I can't help it that many of my teeth have been extracted!

My mom and dad are back too. My mom had some orange things in a container of water here. They were really interesting to look at and smelled a lot like my kibble. She brought them back to work today but I was OK with that. I guess I might have tried to eat them if they were here longer. I was getting hungry on this diet!

So as far as my diet has done I haven't lost any ounces, but my waddle is a little tighter. Ok, not really. I just can't get a good workout in without doing some roof climbing. I will work on getting the windows open next week.

Well happy mew year and I hope you all get some catnip in 2007!

love lady heather

I'm stir crazy

Hi catsters,

Is it only January yet? Gosh, I can't wait until Spring. I am all cooped up inside and can't climb on the roof. I have been picking fights with my sister and brother dogs just to get some exercise. And I have been really wanting lots of attention from my mom and dad. I have been sleeping on my mom's pillow every night. Sometimes my purring wakes her up. Sometimes...it's other stuff (hairball in the face).

Everyone thinks I'm a different cat. Maybe it's joining catster. I just feel young again! I heard my mom talking to someone on the phone about a "foster" cat. I wonder what that means. Maybe they'll be another ball of fur around here soon...I sure could use a pal to play with who is my own size!

Meows, purrs, licks, and squeaks all rolled into a ball,

Lady Heather

outside

I ran outside today. I have been waiting by the door everyday for weeks and I finally found my chance! I skipped past my mom and out into the bushes. I froze up when my mom saw me. Dang white fur showed up against the brown dirt. So, I got caught by my mom and brought back in. So much for the adventure.

Lady H

pick of the day!

Yay! I'm pick of the day along with some other really cool cats. Maybe I'll finally get some respect around here. I mean, its tough living in a house with two big smelly dogs. I mean, I love them and all but there is a line to cuddle with my mom at night.

I wonder what I'll do to celebrate. I could run outside, oh shoot I already tried that the other day. Um, maybe I'll get some more treats. I work on my begging meows. I mean, the diet can wait for a day.

For now, thanks for all the purrs and support. I love all you cats out there!

Meows,

Lady Heather

life is life

Hi catster pals,

Life is OK. My grandma was here. Check out the picture of her with me! She let me sit in her lap and pet me lots! I felt really special 'cause she ignored the dogs and gave me lots of attention.

My mom got me a little collar (pink with flowers, cause I'm a girl) and ID tag. She says this is 'cause I keep trying to get outside but I also think she wants me to look pretty. I have already been getting noticed more. At least by humans.

My diet is going better. I'm getting used to eating a bit less. I'm not sure how many ounces I've lost. I'm gearing up for a big weigh-in at the vet. I'll have to suck in my waddle.

That's all for now and thanks for listening.

love,
Lady Heather

a bath!?!!?!!??!

Hey everycat,

I was wondering if any of your humans have ever had the stupid idea of giving you a bath? Well, mine did. My mommy said I was stinky and got on my pink rubber gloves. Then she picked me up. I don't really like being up so I knew this wasn't good.

Then, PLUNK! Into the sink I went. Well, she tried to force me in further, but I just wouldn't go. So there mom! Then, I finally escaped and ran out of the bathroom. That silly human didn't close the door at least. So I ran upstairs under the bed and finally got away from her.

She then came at me with a towel and tried to dry me! Later, when I went over to my human dad's room (who has never dared wash me), they picked me up and dried me. Jeez, don't these folks know what tongues are for?

I'm staying far away from that crazy human for the rest of the afternoon. Now she says I smell like wet cat. Serves her right. Tonight I'll sneeze right on her face.

Licks,
Lady Heather
