A Day in the Life of Caly

I Was Tagged by Kepler

I was tagged by my "brother" Kepler to name six things I dislike. I think Mommy must have made him include me.

Here are the six things I dislike:
1. Kepler
2. When my little human sleeps overnight somewhere else
3. Kepler
4. Baths or when my sister Snowy gets bathed and smells different
5. Kepler
6. When the outdoor kitty from across the street pees in the bushes in front of my favorite window.

I probably shouldn't say I dislike Kepler. It's more like animosity I feel for him.

A New Brother

Oh, the horror of it all! I have a new brother! He came from a rescue shelter smelling just awful, nothing like my sister Snowflake and me. He had been sequestered from us in a different part of the house, but I could smell him. I would go to the doors that separated us, sniff and, of course, hiss. Doesn't anyone realize that I'm an angry little cat who can barely stand my sister never mind a new brother?

To make matters worse, he is now permitted to roam the whole house. This invasion, aided by my family (who would have believed it), first began with a visitation, but now has been extended to 24/7. My sister Snowflake has been working diligently to establish herself as the dominate kitty of the group - she has even began to hiss and growl at me! The nerve of some cats! Of course, I retaliated with my own hissing and swatting in the air. However, this morning, Snowflake and I had a truce sealed by sniffing and licking each others muzzles. Mommy says maybe this is a sign that we will begin to accept this new cat as part of the family, especially since all the new kitty does is try to play and cuddle. I never knew Mommy was so foolish.

By the way, this new cat's name is Johannes Steve Kepler - the shelter said his original family called him Steve. My family calls him Stevie Kepler or just Kepler. I shall call him Invader, Intruder, Archenemy...

I Was Tagged by Willow

A game of tag! Hurray! It has inspired me to write my first diary entry!

This is how it works. The kitty that is tagged goes to their diary page and lists 7 facts about themselves. They then list 7 furriends and those kitties will list their 7 facts in their diaries, so that others can get to know a little about each of us.

After listing your facts about yourself, name the 7 kitties that you choose to tag. Don't forget to notify them by pawmail or by sending a rossette so that they know they've been tagged.

Now comes the list of 7 facts about me:

1. I am very athletic. I use this fact to perform playful sneak-attacks on my sister Snowflake and leave her without much of a chance to do anything about it.

2. I am a secret tub licker. I lick the water droplets from the tub after my family showers, but I will run away if anyone sees me do this.

3. I must be first at the food bowl.

4. The space behind the living room furniture, in front of the heating vent, is my kitty nest. I sleep and store acquired objects there. No one should invade this space (especially you, Snowy) and all objects there are forever mine!

5. I am a superb huntress. A fly doesn't stand a chance in my presence. This is why my mommy nicknamed me Artemis after the goddess of the hunt.

6. My arch enemy is the boy cat who lives across the street. He is lucky that I'm an indoor kitty. The hissing and growling I do when I see him through my favorite window is only a fraction of what I would like to do to him the next time he sprays the bushes by my window.

7. I'm a warrior kitty on the outside and a softy on the inside. Each night, after a tough day of hunting, stalking and battling, I beg my daddy for a belly rubbing session and then cuddle in bed with my favorite person.

I am tagging the following kitties:
1. Miss Valentine 197721
2. Peaches Marie Rodriquez 718153
3. Azurine Ambrosia 277594
4. Neko 700348
5. Squeakers 58594
6. Bonnie Banks 711705
7. Autumn Rainbow Germiquet
