A Cat Tale

Life is Good!

Things are getting a little better here. Mash will now sometimes lick my ears after she attacks me. Mom has opened the magical door to the land of forbidden cat toys (she calls it her Gameroom). The moths are in full force again. Mom's shoes smell interesting and are fun to roll around on; as opposed to being cold, wet and nasty.

She has moved many of the sticks and stones that I was stealing from her shelves--but a whole slew of Barbie heads and fuzzy mice have been pulled out from under the ferret couch to make up for it. I've also managed to catch the ferrets' tails and feet and bite them through the cage bars--Mash taught me which ones won't fight back. And Cinnamon has learned that throwing her food out makes Mom mad and provides me with extra treats (the litter she throws isn't quite as nice).

Mom works even more than before, which means less playtime. She gets up, gets our food, cleans our litter and leaves. She comes home, gets our food, cleans our litter and goes to bed. Once in a while she has a night when she kicks less, the morning noise doesn't happen and she stays in bed and pets us after she wakes up. On those days, I can watch her from my cat seat while she works outside. It's really neat because she befriended some crows that come hang out when she's out there. She feeds them special treats and they watch for her and follow her now. The crows are a lot more fun to watch than the squirrels.

Mash still hasn't accepted me. I don't know that she ever will. But I have been making friends on here and that helps to pass the time. Thanks again to all of my wonderful new friends~may your days be filled with many blessings!

The Ferrets

Mash and I live with six ferrets. It's really not fair though. They spend most of their day in a cage and when they do come out, the door to their room gets closed and I am not allowed to play with them. I try to play with them through the cage, which is pretty fun, but it still makes me feel bad.

Maybe it is because I spent most of my life in a cage and now that I have tasted freedom, I wish it for all living creatures. Maybe it's because Mash is older and grouchy when I try to play with her. I'm not sure what the deal is. It just seems to me that the ferrets should be out and free to play with me at least once in a while. Maybe I should learn how to let them out?

I Am Anubis, Mash's Kitty

A few of you have met me already through either Mash's blog or through the ferrets' blog, but I wanted to venture out on my own and I thought Catster was a great place to try it out.

While I adore Mash and think the world of her, she still has many issues with me as she had Mommy all to herself for three years. Ironically, Mommy got me for Mash because she felt that Mash was lonely and could benefit from some feline company. And alas, it is me that has ended up lonely.

I began my first eight months of life in a cage with my brother, to whom I was very close. There were humans there, but they were extremely cruel and hurt me often. Thankfully, I could always count on my brother for the love and comfort that I needed in life. Then Mommy came with the promise that I would have freedom to run and play and that I would have a good life. She promised that I would never be hurt by humans again and that the mean lady would no longer be a part of my life. She tried to get my brother too, but couldn't. To this day, I miss him and hope that he managed to escape too.

And so, I begin my diary. I am hoping that one day, my lost brother will find me through Catster and that we may be reunited. Until then, I really need some kitty friends until Mash learns to love me. My new Mommy is great and gives me lots of love, which I didn't know was possible from humans--but you know how it is... Kitties need other kitties. Hopefully, Catster will make all of this possible for me. Until next time, blessed be!
