I think I am

This might seem just shameful, but I think I am a catnip addict.
We received a big box of goodies from a little white dog named Zaidie.
There were mostly things for the doggies but I could smell the cat nip up on the kitchen table. That is where the big box was. I even tried to get onto the table even though I know it's not allowed. When the peepole started opening the packages there were three kitty cats toys in there! I have posted some pictures that show our new toys.
The little tiny red sardine in the most heavenly toy of all. I LOVE it! The peepole ration my playing with it. I drooled all over it and it was soaking wet. It is wonderful. I even found the little tag they took off. The tag was nearly as fun as the little fishie toy!
Oh, I hope they let me play with it today.
I love the nip.

Help myself

The girl's room is "cat proofed". That means that there is nothing out on the piano, desk and dresser. Well, except for some kitty cat toys on the dresser. The mom puts a few toys down for me at night. Last night I needed more toys. I got them all down. Well, except for one white box that has toys inside of it. That might have made a loud sound if I had pushed that onto the floor.
I kinda made a big mess with all of the toys. Teehee.

It's my birthday

Hmm, those kinds of things really don't matter to me. I really don't remember much about when I was born. But someone gave me a birthday day and today is it!
I got a nice greeting from Catster:

Dear Ellie,

Meow meow!
We want to wish you a very Happy Birthday full of love and joy and purring. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate it with you!

Ellie will be profiled today with other birthday kitties on Catster's special Birthday Stroll.

Since it's your birthday we want to give you something special, so we have given you 25 Catster treats and one vote of 5 Paws! Catster loves you!

Sincerely,
Your Friends at Catster

Can't find the boy

I know he's not a boy. He's a strapping tall young man. But I can't find him. He doesn't sleep in his bed any more. He doesn't sit at his desk and let me sit in his lap while he uses his computer. The girl went away too. I liked to sit in her lap while she did school work or used her computer. She's gone.
They all went away and only the man and lady came back. Well, Georgie and I were here together overnight. When the man and lady came back at first they didn't have the dogs. Then they went away and came back in a little while and had the dogs with them.
Everyone is here except the girl and boy.
Georgie and I don't really play or nap together.
I am kinda lonely.
Wonder when the boy will be back.

Thank you Catster!

Oh My! What an honor to be chosen as the Diary of the Day kitty!

I really don't meow much on here, we have a very barky little dog that spends a lot of time on Dogster. That takes our typist away.

But thank you again for noticing my little page. Who would have imagined me meowing about my curly tail would get me top honors for the day?

What to do...

Lately, I just don't know what to do with my tail. I don't know if it's getting longer or fluffier and heavier, but I've started curling it over my back, instead of holding it straight up. I've been experimenting to find out how I like it best -- some days, I'll have it kind of loose, but then sometimes I'll keep it in a nice little loop. I just don't know what to do with it!

Is that what I think it is?

I will admit, I get on the kitchen counter sometimes. I know I'm not supposed to do that. I get down right away when someone says my name. I also catch mousies sometimes. Mousies can cause us to get tapey worms.
Last night the mom and sister were cleaning up the kitchen after supper. Sister saw a small white rice-like thingie on the counter. She and the mom stared at it for awhile. Then the mom poked at it with a spoon. Next she dissected it. Both of the little pieces stuck to the spoon. She put the spoon in the dishwasher.
Hmm, was that what they thought it was? I hadn't been up on the counter recently. They didn't think I had tapey worm.
Then Sister remembered.
Cheese, it was grated cheese from supper.

Stressful afternoon

My family went to town to have lunch earlier today, and they let the doggies stay out in the house. Usually, the dogs are fine. The Cindy-dog likes to stare at us cats, but she almost always only stares.

Today, though, Cindy was feeling a little friskier, I guess. I was sitting on the piano in the girl's room, and Cindy came in and started bugging me. She kept jumping up against the piano. I tried to get away, but only got as far as the bathroom a little ways down the hall.

She followed me, and I think she might have nipped at my tail. I crawled behind the toilet and clawed her a few times on the nose. This part is embarrassing, but I was pretty nervous and I had a couple of accidents.

Not too much later, my family got back home. The other dogs went to say hi to them, but Cindy kept watching me. The girl noticed the scratches on the piano first, then went to look for me and found me in the bathroom. A little blood off of Cindy had ended up on the side of the toilet, and I think that scared her. She and the dad made the dogs go outside, while the mom and the boy checked on me. I sure was happy to see them! They cleaned me up made sure I wasn't hurt, then I went downstairs to get some food. I'm fine now, and sleeping in one of my favorite spots.

Mystery Mousies

The boy found a mostly missing munched mousie in the basement by the treadmill yesterday.
The mom found a partly munched mousie in the basement this morning.

They are trying to figure out who is catching and eating those mousies.
Georgie usually goes outside and hunts during the night time.

That leaves me. I am the only all-indoor kitty cat now.

Do you think they will figure out about the mystery mousies?

Changes

I can't seem to find the girl anywhere. I like to sleep on the girl's legs at night. I like to sit on the girl when she is sitting on her bed reading or using her computer.
I can't find her anywhere in the house.
Now there is another dog here. A dog that likes to chase me. I don't want it to chase me.
I am going to stay in the basement until it goes away.
I hope it goes away.
