Arrival Story: I found two tiny kittens in the ditch while wandering along a forestry road. They were pretty well feral. They were sick and weak, but not too weak to make it hard for me to catch them. They would not have survived the night as temperatures were below freezing. I found out they were suffering from upper respiratory infections and both girls. Squirrel is the smaller but braver of the two. (Lucky is her sister.) Squirrel has a corkscrew twist at the end of her tail and a few white patches on her stripey, spotty, wildcat fur. Her sister depends on her for protection, play, leadership and comfort.
Bio: Both kittens have grown into the best pets I could ask for. Squirrel is more tame than her sister but they both still freak out for little or no reason. They are not good with strangers. They follow me around and watch everything I do. They like being petted. They do goofy things everyday and make me laugh. Squirrel sleeps with me almost every night.

The Last Forum I Posted In: Oly's Birthday Pawty!!
Mom is almost finished renovating Lucky's room. Step one was to rip out the carpet and put down laminate flooring. Mom wanted to replace the ratty computer chair that Lucky has slept on for years but ended up keeping it for her. Step two was Mom assembling the "loft bed" for use as a guest bed. So far, I am the only one who has been able to get up there. Mom hasn't seen how I do it yet. But she was worried about my having to get down. It is almost 6 feet high! So, she put furniture in such a way that we can go down in steps. Then, she put Lucky up there with me. Stupid Lucky didn't use the ladder or the steps to get down. She jumped! Mom didn't like that as she was afraid Lucky would break a leg! Of course, she didn't. I go up and down there all the time and Mom still hasn't seen me. But I don't jump down the whole six feet or Mom would have heard me. She should have set up a video camera to see how I did it the first few times before she provided those steps. I love the loft bed because I can see outside another window from up there now!
Update! Mom just checked on us and we are both up there! Lucky is under the covers and I'm on top! Looks like we both love OUR new bed!!!
That I haven't written in my diary in a long while. That is because nothing new has been happening. Mom and I are doing our best to dodge wasps in our front yard. We are anxious for winter so we don't have to worry about them for a while. Also, once winter comes, Mom can put out the bird feeder again. Hopefully the bears with hibernate on schedule. Around here, you never know. Once Mom and the dogs almost walked right into one on a walk around town on CHRISTMAS EVE! That isn't supposed to happen!
So that is about all I have to say on this day.
I begged Mom to take me on a leash walk. She finally did around 8pm. I had just got out the door when I heard a buzzing noise coming from behind these "fake" window shutters on our basement window. I just came close to investigate when I literally SCREAMED and jumped 2 feet in the air. Mom saw that a wasp had got me. Right in the face! I was rubbing my face, sneezing and trying to get back in the house all at the same time. Mom just tried to keep up with me. She was trying to help me but I just wanted to be alone to nurse my wound. Mom had trouble even getting my harness off. She was very worried that I would swell up like our friend Rosie and maybe have trouble breathing. After about 2 minutes, I let her pet me. A few more minutes and I was okay. Mom watched me for the rest of the night to make sure that I wouldn't have a bad reaction to the venom. I was ready for some Fancy Feast just a few minutes later. Mom doesn't know exactly where I was stung because I never did swell up. It was on my cute little kitty cheek. We hate wasps. So do the doggies.
