The Princess Diary

What I am thankful for...

The Fabulous Miss D tagged me! The deal is I am to write what I am thankful for. That is so easy!!

I am thankful that my dad brought me to this great home.

I am thankful that mom and dad didn't put me up for adoption when I went through my "attack mom's face for attention" phase.

I am thankful that mom and dad put up with my passive agressiveness.

I am thankful that I am always looked after and have plenty of food and water and toys.

I am thankful that I have such good friends on Catster and Cat Channel even though mom hasn't been able to participate as much lately!

New brother PJ

Oh my stars. Where are my suitcases? Oh forget it, you can keep all my stuff, I am just leaving....

Dad brought home a new cat on Wednesday afternoon. He is a three year old Maine Coon mix. He is HUGE. Things have been crazy. He was sequestered in mom and dad's bedroom on Wednesday. They did take him into our cat room for a bit to show him around. He was allowed out and about to smell the house on Thursday while we were sequestered.

He decided he was tired of being sequestered in the bedroom on Friday morning - when mom was trying to get ready for work. Then, at 4.am. this morning, he climbed to the very top of the three baby gates blocking the bedroom door, squeezed through the small gap and heaved himself over. Not a happy wake up for mom or dad. Now, dad has taken the baby gates off every door and is not hovering around (he and mom have been heavily monitoring the goings-on) and things are much better. Mom and dad think their stress over having to monitor all the time was adding to our stress. I think they are right. Things are a bit better. PJ seems to be acclimating to the house quickly. It's us cats he has an issue with. Actually, he just wants to be left alone to explore....we want him out!! This is our house and our stuff! We are all slowing feeling each other out. It has gone surprising well so far for the short amount of time he has been here. Mom/dad didn't think they would be able to take the gates down for at least a week. PJ had other plans.

I will try to keep you posted. Mom says she will make a page for PJ as soon as things settle down a little here. Mom is also copying and pasting diary entry on my siblings' pages. She is tired and stressed out from having little sleep last night.

Hmmmm

I have recently been given information that my beloved boyfriend Tigger is not dead. While I am very happy that he is alive and well, mom and I are truly upset that we were led to believe he died. My mom and I cried for days over his "death" and cried again every time we visited his page to leave a note - which was every day. Why would a human want everyone to believe that her cat had died when he was alive and healthy? Honestly, mom and I are very hurt and angered by this deception and cannot understand the motive behind it. What kind of friend would do that? We just don't get it.

Well, Tigger, I am happy you are alive. I am sad, though, that your human felt the need to put my mom and I through so much emotional turmoil by lying. We were not the only ones hurt by this of course, but it seems more personal since you were my boyfriend. I thought we had a great time together, but now I wonder if that was just my imagination as well.

Oh well. Live and let live, eh?
