Hello, everybody. I am new to this site and very excited that my Mommy helped me put this together. She loves me very much and wants the rest of the world to know it. Shhh... don't tell her if I talk about her and Daddy from time to time... I'll talk about that brother of mine, too. He's a little dense, sometimes, so he'll never know! Well well well...where to start. First of all, what my Mommy says is right. I had kind of a hard time before she found me. I won't go into that, because it still kind of hurts, but I'm happy now. I knew the moment I saw those two ladies come into that smelly place I was being held that I would never suffer again. That is until they put me in that tiny cardboard thing with holes and stuck me in this giant moving thing! All that motion was making me dizzy and I got sick. Mom wasn't happy with me for busting out of that case, but I couldn't take it any longer. It was so much better when I was out. Mom held me in her lap for the rest of the trip and told me it was all ok. Wow! I can't believe that was four years ago! I may be a little battered from my life before my new family, but none of that matters now. Plus, everyone says my scar gives me character. You see that white stuff on my back in my pictures? It makes me different from all the other fat tabbies. And I'm working on that whole weight thing, you know. Mommy says she wants me to be healthy and it's a lot of strain on my short little legs carrying all that weight around. I kind of took offense to that short leg thing... I know my brother is Mr. Tall-guy, everybody's all-American Pretty boy who's never struggled with weight in his life, but you get the gist! He got the looks, I got the brains, that's what I always say. Plus, Mommy thinks I'm beautiful! She wishes I'd move a little more every now and then, but I say moving's overrated... I like playing, but from a stationary sitting position...all I need is that one paw... that'll do. I do like playing with brother, though. We wrestle. That's fun until I've had enough then I have to yell at him and tell him to stop. He just doesn't know when to quit! Well, I've got to get back to my nap. Daddy's sleeping right now, so I'll go lay between his legs! Bye everybody!
Love,
Sammy

Wow! I just love how many friends I've made. Thanks, everyone, for all the treats you've left me and all the great messages. You made my day yesterday! Yesterday was just a good day all around. First I laid on the bed with my bubby, Teddy, while Mommy and Daddy watched those stupid TV shows they always watch. And then Daddy took a nap before work. He didn't get much sleep during the day. He said it was far too pretty out there to be sleeping even though he was supposed to be. I don't know why. I can sleep any time, anywhere, and for any reason! Dad's not as tough as me, though. While he was napping Mommy and I watched a movie together. I don't think she liked it much, though. She would watch a little bit of it and then fast forward through other parts. She just sat there with a dumb look on her face and was really glad when it was over. I didn't like it, either. You know there wasn't a cat in the whole movie... just a bunch of silly looking tiny dogs with weird hair-do's.
You know what, I'm getting a little worried. I think Mommy and Daddy are getting serious about this whole "diet" thing... I sat there waiting and waiting and crying and Mommy still wouldn't feed me. I was wasting away last night. I even used my pouty eyes (which ALWAYS seems to work on Mommy) but nothing worked! I just don't know what to do now. Teddy and I stood right at her feet and stared at her... deep longing written in our eyes...nothing. Well, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic. She finally did feed us, but the time in between was MISERY! Maybe she thought I got too many treats on Catster yesterday! Oh well, wish me luck tonight! Have a great day my new friends!
Love,
Sammy

Well, ok, maybe it wasn't named after me, specifically, but he still thought it was funny. It was called Sammy Claus, or Sammy Clause or something like that. What's great is during Christmas Mommy sings: "Here comes Sammy Claws, Here comes Sammy Claws, Riding down Sammy Claws lane!!! Food in his belly, bowl full of jelly...." etc. etc. etc. Actually, it kind of irritates me, because she does it ALL the time!!!! Of course, I do think it's funny that Daddy drank a BEER named after me... Ha ha ha... Sammy Claws.... or Claus or Clause or whatever. It's Austrian. So, whenever you drink one of those, think of me fondly. Not a whole lot to say today. Life is good. Have a great day, Catsters!!
Love,
Sammy

Ok, this is difficult for me to say. And I don't want all you Catsters to lose respect for me just because I acted out a little bit. First of all, let me explain my reasons. There are many. Ok, here it goes.............. I peed. Yes, I am seven years old and I should be past this stage, but there is something wrong. My Mommy and Daddy are evidently in a tough spot right now, and I understand that. They had to move out of our previous home and can't move into the new one until the middle of April, around Mommy's birthday. Happy B-Day Mommy! So, we've had to move in with her sister, who was my Mommy once, too when they lived together. She has three cats: Bisco, Duchess, and Foosa. I don't like them much, but I generally just ignore them. The problem is, everything smells like them! Yuck! So, what does any cat do to reclaim a little dignity in a place... we pee on things. So, I peed on the cat bed in the floor, the other cat bed in the floor, and Auntie Erin's kitchen stool... Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie Erin were not happy about it. They lock me in the bedroom at night with Mommy so that I am not running all over the apartment peeing on things. Then Mommy gets mad, because I wake her up an hour before she has to go to work by meowing at her and walking all over her. I think she understands that I just want a place that's mine. I've always had that and I want it again. Those girls aren't nice to me and my bubby, Teddy. But they're just silly girls, we aren't afraid of them. Wish me luck making it through the next 17 days! Purrs, Kits...

This is so embarrasing. I have never felt so violated, cheap, and belittled in my life. It's so hard for me to tell you about this situation. It was witnessed by my Mom and then she told everyone about it! She thought it was funny, but I kid you not, it is so NOT! I was just minding my own business 2 days ago. I was in the box, copping a squat, doing my thing. I was very focused, for the business of potty is a very serious one. You remember me telling you about my introduction to my stinky female cousins, right? Remember Foosa? (the tiny hellian on four paws?) She's the worst of the worst. She doesn't like us and she doesn't hide it! Ok, back to the scenario at hand. Picture it once more...I'm doing my business, head sticking out of the box, eyes squinted in direct concentration. Then out of the corner of my eye I see a paw come shooting out from the side of the litter box cover... Pop, Pop, POP! She swats me three times right between the eyes. I was mid----you know??? I couldn't stop to contend with this tactless....child!!! So, I just pulled my head in and took the beating. Mom was standing right there! Oh, the humiliation... she watched this oversized GUINEA PIG get the best of me. What a cheap shot! Grrr.... I shall exact my revenge... just waiting for the right time. Thanks for your support, although I know when I turn my back you shall be laughing.
Purrs, Sampson

Hello fellow felines! I am distressed. Mommy and Daddy are busy getting our new place in order before bringing us over there. We are staying with Auntie Erin and Uncle Dylan and our cousins in the mean time. I haven't seen them in over a DAY! And I missed getting to sleep with Mommy last night. I know she was lonely without me since Daddy works nights and I can't wait to see her tomorrow (which is when they're taking us to our new home!) I even missed Mommy's birthday yesterday and I wanted to give her special birthday snuggles! I am nervous about this new place, though. Not quite sure how I'm going to like it.
I do have some really good news, though! I've lost weight!! I had to get my nasty shots at the vet the other day. I'm a really good patient, Mommy says, although I don't like to be held down. I squirm a little. They weighed me and I weighed 14.4 pounds! My last weight on record was 16.2! That means I'm making a lot of progress and Mommy is very proud of me. She said there's going to be a catnip party in my honor just as soon as we arrive at our new home. I'll just give her those birthday snuggles tomorrow!
-Sampson, feeling sleek and sexy in my new body.... Mee-owwww!

What do you all think of my pretty new page? I'm Catster PLUS now and it's so exciting! I love it! I really love my song! It's so ME! As far as the new brother is concerned... you know I liked him from the start! He's really a good kid...needs a little training, but I'll get him whipped into shape. Hey, I did wonders for Teddy. Look at him now- a nice, respectful young catster who knows his place in this family: after me in line to the food. Well, Nigel doesn't eat with us because he has bad teeth. He gets special stuff...lucky little you-know-what! Mommy says I can't have special stuff because it will make my butt bigger! She probably wouldn't like it if I looked at her and said..."SO???" For now I will continue to sit at the door and whine and hope to break her down. We will see. Anyway, I need to get to bed! Enjoy my page!
Purrs,
Sammy

Ok, let's get this straight. Meowmy and I don't know this guy, but we say "4 PAWS UP FOR YOU!" Please watch the video meowmy helped us post to my site. It's Paul from South Wales on Britain's Got Talent. He really has so much heart and had all of us impressed. It looks pretty funny with 3 Kits and a goofy lady all sittin' around staring at the computer screen, but he had us cat-tivated for sure! We keep watching the video over and over just to hear that voice again! You won't be disappointed! And he's living proof, no matter what you want out of life, GO FOR IT! Don't put your dreams off, life's too short! Let's all be like Paul and gain that confidence that we need! I think I'm going to go work on my harmonica playing now... *ehem* Pardon me, good kitties...
Love and Headbutts,
Sammy Doo

Hello, everycat! Sorry, you missed your chance to see Paul. Mommy took the video down so she could add my new song. Don't you like it? Once again, it's so ME! Although, a very sad me from before I met my family. I like it, anyway, though. I sat on my pillow the other night while she was changing my page. I called the shots, though, don't get me wrong. She is my Catster servant. I have some important announcements to make! First, I have been bestowed with the honor of being a Lieutenant with the Furry Federation. I am Counsellor Sammy. I have also earned the Purple Heart for all the bad things I've been through. I have to say, I do think I deserve that one. Nigel gets a purple heart, too, but he's just an ensign... he's too young and unseasoned to be a Lieutenant like me! Thanks, Areyel for the honor!
Also, we've moved into our new house, but I think Mommy's going crazy cause lots of things are broken. They've been nuts- bringing people with big machines. All these people did was swipe the carpet with their bit stick thingy's. Seemed a little useless to me. Then last night I went into the bathroom and there was Mom with her hand stuck down the toilet tank!!! Then she started screaming... cause she was happy. She just kept saying, "I fixed it! I fixed it by myself!!!" First of all... having your hand in the toilet isn't a good thing, and in my world... "fixing" is also a bad thing! Anyway, I like the house. It's bigger than what I'm used to. It still looks a little messy and not put together, though. Mommy says that she and Daddy are "working on it." Hmmm... Well, I have things to do... must eat and then go sleep with Daddy. It's been 2 hours since I slept with Mommy. Too long! *YAWN*

Well, isn't this just purrfect? Nigel gets today's daily diary pick and gets all this good stuff and I'm the one going to the vet??? Craziness! Anyway, Mom has noticed a problem with my chin. I've been scratching it a lot and it's getting bloody, raw and scabby. So, she made me an appointment and we're going to see what's wrong with me. My cousin, Bisco, has feline acne. Mom thinks that could be what it is, because it's even in the same place. It's been getting worse over the past couple of days. I don't think it will be anything too bad, but it's still no fun going to the Dr.'s. Think of me today, kitty friends! Oh, and I just want to tell you what kind of FIEND you are worshiping as today's daily diary pick! He is a horrid little creature and a BULLY! I will be sitting on my tiger pillow next to Mom and he'll come up and start swatting at me trying to STEAL MY PILLOW!!! And then when I'm eating he'll come up and starting bopping me on the head to get me to leave. I think he's trying to usurp my throne as headmaster kitty. Well, it ain't gonna work, small fry! I'm on to you! Ok, off my soap box! Purrs to you, everycat!

Mom wanted to clean today, but I convinced her it's much more productive to be my typist. Lots of things are happening. The biggest is that we have a sister! Oh my goodness! She's big- well, compared to me. she's a DOG! I've never lived with a dog before, but she's actually nice to us. That meaning that she just totally ignores us and doesn't give us any trouble. That's something, I guess. I don't mind her. As long as it doesn't mean I'll get fed less, it doesn't bother me. If you have doggie brothers and sisters and would like to be friends with her, here is her page. Check out our sister! http://www.dogster.com/dogs/637988
Ok, thanks, kits! I'll purr at you all later!
Love,
Sammy

I don't know what's wrong with that crazy Nigel since he came back from the hospital. He's acting all weird! He keeps trying to stand on top of me (YES, he really DOES!). He bites the scruff of my neck and won't let go (but he doesn't have many teeth!) He does this several times a day, especially at night, and I'm getting really sick of it. I keep yelling at him telling him to stop but he keeps doing it. He'll actually stand over me straddling my entire body. Can't a boy just get some rest! Doesn't he know how hard my life is???? Never thought I'd say this, but I think I want the OLD Nigel back!
Purr for me, Catsters!!!
