Merry Catmas Too All!

Dad was gone for a few days. I knew it would happen. After him being home for 6 weeks I think we were due for a break. I sat in my new usual spot for a while, even when the neighbors came over with their yappy dog. Still, after a day or two I really started to miss Daddy and was happy when he came home. And guess what, he got a job that should last for a few months starting tomorrow. So he's going to be gone again. Well I'll just have to spend more time with him now.

 

Tree is up!

Daddy put the tree up today before some of his friends came over. He has a ceramic tree he inherited from his grandmother. It lights up and all but doesn't smell and it's too small to climb. Despite that, it's pretty. Only two of his friends came over so I was more willing to come out and be petted. There wasn't a big hoopla like other times so it wasn't as noisy. I still insisted on being held for a while and Sarge jump up on his lap too. Can you believe the big goof still wanted to go outside. It's cold and dark and he's still at the door trying to escape. He sticks to the sidewalk most of the time and tries to stay near Daddy. At least he comes inside without too much trouble.

Oh, Dad cleaned out the water fountain and added a new filter. The water tastes better and everyone got a nice drink. I like having Daddy home all the time until he finds a new job. He's more willing to hold me when I want to take a nap on him.

 

Turkey Day

Daddy went home last week for Thanksgiving and I got left all alone. Sure the people with the doggie came over to make sure I was OK but it's not the same. I was happy to see him when he came back and hung out around him for a while. Now things are getting back to normal.

He told me that one of his cousins got 3 barn cats. When he asked if they were earning their keep he was told that they were. Those kitties saved a good percentage of the sweet potato crop this year by hunting mice and other pests. That's great, but I hope I won't have to go hunting for my food. It sounds like too much work!

 

5 years

This weekend marks 5 years since Daddy brought me home. It's been a very good time. I get held and loves and everything I need. (Not everything I want, I want more holding time and less Pepi.) Daddy was gone for a few days and all of us missed him. I knew he would come back. He brought catnip, but it doesn't make me go crazy (1 in 4 cats doesn't have the gene that makes catnip exciting). It was still great to see him come home. He says he'll be home almost all day tomorrow before going to work. I hope we can get more brushing time in.

 

Not much to say

Daddy doesn't want my diary to go too long without an update. But not much is happening to me. Sarge is having the interesting times (that is meant in the old Chinese curse sense). I'm still a bit of an attention hog when it comes to Daddy. Last time his friends were over I insist he hold me so he couldn't use his hands. That's a big step for me since I usually just stay out of sight except to eat. Daddy hopes that one day I'll let someone else hold me. Not much chance of that happening, but it's something to shoot for.

Oh and since Daddy's work contract ended I've been asking for more time to be held by him. It's like one long weekend and I'm taking advantage of it.

 

The V-E-T

Pepi and I had to go to the vet today. I cried and made a fuss the whole time. Daddy had to put me in the carrier first because if Pepi was first, I'd know something was up. See I'm smart!

The good news is that I'm in great health. I didn't put up much of a fuss and took my shots without whining or trying to swat at my vet. I gained 2 ounces. But next year I may have to go in for a teeth cleaning.

 

Monitor is here

Well Daddy's new computer monitor arrived last night. So no more chasing the mouse pointer on the big TV. I sat on the styrofoam packing piece for a few minutes, but Daddy didn't want me too.

He brought up the other cat carrier and put together the one we used for sleeping. That can only mean one thing... the VET! Nooooo! I went last year!

 

Ohhh big monitor

During the big storm when Daddy stayed home from his new job he connected his computer to the TV set. I loved it! I chased the mouse pointer around and all the other moving things on the screen. Even when it was a normal TV I would sit and wait for I am the Great Tabby Hunter! Daddy keeps telling me not to do that because he thinks I'm going to knock the expensive TV over. I'm too little to do that, but he doesn't believe me. Today things got better when his normal computer monitor stopped working. Now he has to use the TV full time as a monitor. This is great! So much to chase! There's a new monitor coming this week so I won't have long to catch the mouse pointer. But I will catch it because I am the Great Tabby Hunter!

 

An update

Just wanted to give a quick update for our friends. Nothing much is happening. Daddy got a few interviews and he has another one tomorrow. Nothing has really jumped out as a position he wants, but he's not being too choosy. There's still monies in the bank account so there's no real worry yet.

I like having him around more. I like to sleep on his chest when he's at the computer but he makes me move after a few minutes. Why does he need to use both arms anyway?

It's Daddy's birthday tomorrow so I'll be sure to give him lots of love. He gave me a home after I lost my first one so I'm HIS kitty and no one else's.

 

DDP

I found out that I'm a DDP today! This is so cool! I got a gift from this awesome family. It's a big family and I can't thank every member individually so I hope you don't mind one big kitty hug.

Daddy was gone over Thanksgiving so the people with the doggie came over. I hid under the bed. Fortunately all they wanted to do was see me to be sure I was OK. He was gone for a little more than 2 full days so it wasn't too bad. I got offered some turkey, but I didn't feel like it.

Daddy's still looking for a new job. It's only been about 6 weeks which is too early to be discouraged. But it still gets him down. It's nice to have him around more since I love to sleep on him.
