Well.......

I'm sorry to say we are finding Catster a little hard to use lately. I don't know if it's us, or Catster.
We have tried many times to send out thank you gifts to cats for all the gifts we received when D got home, Balty's 21st birthday and then when Balty passed. We get a few done and then we can't open the gift box or it takes us ages. I'm so sorry if you thought we have ignored you.

Today we received a message we have a paw mail from

Milo Swaggering Smackety Paw just purred a new Catmail to Mr D - D'boat #19 HOME AGAIN!. You can see it now in your Kitty Inbox


We'll when we went there, there was no mail???? was that an old one that just took ages to come through???? Or is Catster eating our mail?

I wonder if it's us but then I can see other websites ok. We are also having trouble seeing Catster pages, everything keeps freezing on us. : ( We get a little box saying do you want to run script or something like that. Sometimes that just keeps coming up and we can't even get off the page. Have we done something wrong? Or are others having the same problem.

We are starting to spend less time here because this is a problem for us.

One day the human wants to go......

The human has put on her wish list to visit the USA. she has done stop over’s but never really to visit the country. About 30 years ago she was into skydiving, she and a group of friends did go to a few DZs over there but that was it. She didn't see much of the country.

Well now she has put this place on her wish list

One day she would like to go to Florida and see this place. She has patted the Cheetahs at our Auckland Zoo and she has patted the Tigers over in Australia’s Dream world.
But this place is next on her list.

Maybe if there is a Catster get together one day she'll try and tie it in. She did see in the forums there is one place that has mention a Catster get together at a cat sanctuary. That sounds pawsome but unfortunately it'll take the human a couple of years to save for the trip.
Hopefully there will be another one.
The way the years are going (so fast) the time will come around in no time.

Has anyfur been there?
What's it like?
The human would love to know
Purrs Sam

Meowzer!!!! Oh - my - Cat, how did I get a DDP? Thank you Catster.

Well It's not really me in the spot light. When I look around Catster all I see is my big brother Mr D.

Wow wow wow!!! Thank you everyone, that's sure to get him home. I can't believe there's purrs around the world for him.

I'm wondering if I went missing would I get all this attention. He's always and I mean always taken the spot light. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the support you have given us in our hunt for D.

Isn't Catster an amazing community of lovely caring cats. We've been here for 4.5 years now and boy time has flown. The house is now a bomb site and the garden is totally over grown because we are addicted to Catster

BUT.... what we have learnt here is so valuable it's well worth it.

So thank you everyone purrs Sam

Wow!!!! all the purrs for D.... So that is how you get all- the attention, aye?

I want to write about D and what's going on. I know you all want to know and I'd love to tell you.

There is so many I need to thank with all the post in Alfie's, Sonny Bono's and Miss Mittens diaries. All the gifts and all the lovely messages in the candles. I've written notes but I'll need time to put it all down in my diary.

I'm sprinting around at the moment like a mad cat meowing my little head off, trying to get the humans attention. It's late and... I ...think it's bed time. She's on the catputer, trying to read all the lovely messages.

I do this (the noisy sprint around) when I'm fed up waiting for her. I was sitting patiently by the door for ages, but.... I gave up. I do this until she gives in and comes to bed. MOL I can be very annoying.

Well as you all know my brother the big doopuss is lost again. The humans have been doing lots to find him. You wouldn't believe it... I'm as happy as, go figure.

You don't want to know what's going through my mind.

Anyway I need to borrow the human, its bed time for her as she needs to get up early to go D hunting. She goes at 4am in the morning, and then she has work. I hope you don't mind. As soon as we get time we’ll try and fill you in with some info.

I feel bad I can't write too much now. It's just the human takes so long to type it. She won't have enough sleep and be 'with it' tomorrow. She uses heavy machinery at work and doesn't want to lose any fingers

I hope you don't mind. We'll write as soon as, we appreciate all the kind messages purrs candles and gifts. I wish there was more time in the day to respond to them all.

Many purrs from us and thank you, purrs Sam

Thank you everyone for the gifts, you are very kind we are all fine here in Auckland. If you want to send messages the Christchurch kitty's may appreciate it

TAGGED

5 things I dislike about my human

WELL.......A big number 1
I was tagged way way back on Jan the 28 by my good friend and Vanlentine Zackery
The human hasn't got around to doing it yet.
And she hasn't replied to rosettes and p-mails
I'm so sorry friends......
I need a new meowmy.
*Sam storms off* as the human races to go to work.

Purrs and thank you to the A-non-a-mouse rose giver they are- so pretty

Purrs Sam

Human here.....

Well what can I say, I finally get a day off work, I haven't really had one for a couple of weeks now.
I looked forward to a nice lye in. When Sam decided it was time to get up at 6:30 am.
She wanted a pat and wanted it right then. Ok... so you say give her a pat. Well she was soaked and I mean soaked, the little minx had gone out in the rain, she must have sat there to get as much water on her coat as she could. Then decided I needed to dry her off. I suppose I should feel grateful it wasn't any earlier.
You can imagine a wet fur coat rubbing up and down your face and then under the covers. hummmmm...Lol, That seems to be a favourite trick of theirs as Raza has a habit of doing that too. I think they enjoy watching us squirm. ...
They can be right little terrors, but so cute.

And no you can't sleep after that, the shock of how you are woken is enough to keep you wide awake after that.
:D

Yay!!! out of kitty jail (a cattery) but now in trouble

We are in trouble and it's Mercedes fault MOL. Ever since the human has found out about the Nikon D90 (back in July last year) she has wanted one. She is always impressed with all their photos and thought she'll get one too. Well the day has come and she came back from holiday with one, Grrrrrr. It's almost like we have the silly thing glued to our tails now. Everywhere we go the camera is just behind us. What is it with these humans and those silly little boxes?????
We tried to p-mail Mercedes and Pixie to thank them, hummmmm.... but the p-mails not working at the moment.
We are very lucky that the human has to work, she has a lot to catch up on, so we are getting a little rest while she is in at the shop. Look out when she gets a day off.
............I think I’ll have to hide...............

Mercedes gave us the info in the 'Stunning photos group' http://www.catster.com/group/Stunning_photos_made_easy-16614
I have to say... the human seems over the moon with it.
She says it's slightly smaller than the D70, a lot lighter.
faster and has this VR thingy on it. It also seems to be a lot more user friendly.
I definitely think we are in trouble ...Meows Sam
