A second chance at a good life

Catching up

It's been so long since we've been on Catster that we all protested and told mom to log in or else. MOL

My stepmonster's catputer is still broken. The new part came in but it didn't help. There is something else wrong and she's mad as a hatter about it. So for now, we borrow a catputer when we can. It's a bummer because all of our pictures are trapped in the broken laptop.

Daddy and the stepmonster had a birthday pawty for me when I turned 13 and I had to wear a stupid hat, but I got my very own can of tuna with a candle in it. Daddy helped me blow it out. MOL Of course the pictures can't be posted and that makes stepmonster VERY unhappy; however, she's planning to buy a new catputer and her friend says he can get everything off her old one even if it's dead. Yippee. So, eventually the picture of my in the stupid hat will be posted. Not so yippeee.

It doesn't seem like it's been a year since the stepmonster found me and daddy adopted me, but it has been. I had my very first trip to the vet last week and I got a clean bill of health. That's good even if wasn't thrilled about the trip in the car and being poked on. Daddy says I was a very good girl, so that made me happy. And I don't have to go back for another whole year. Now that is reason to celebrate.

Not much else is going on. I just hang out with daddy and give him tons of love. Hopefully the stepmonster will have a new catputer soon and we'll be around more. I miss all my catster furrineds a bunch.

Until I can log in again,
Miss Kitty

Thank goodness I live with daddy

I feel so sorry for my stepfurs. Mommy did the most hideous thing to them yesterday. She put a red shirt on them to help cheer on the Louisville Cardinals. I’m thanking my lucky stars I’m not living there still. You see, where we live, you can only like one basketball team. It’s some kind of understood rule. You like either Kentucky or Louisville. Purrsonally, I am a Big Blue fan like my daddy. I even wear a royal blue collar. Cool huh?

Now, my stepmonster on the other hand is a Louisville fan. She doesn’t like Kentucky at all. That’s another rule. Whichever team you like, you must hate the other team and their fans. They even argue and yell about it, even in public!! It’s kind of stupid, but you know humans. I have heard rumors that a very few of our primate slaves have evolved in recent years and are able to cheer for both teams, but I’m sure there aren’t many. We do live in Kentucky after all. MOL

This whole team spirit thing seems to run in families. Daddy’s whole family loves Kentucky and the stepmonster’s family loves Louisville. Some of the whackos in her family go to all the games, and even went to Birmingham on Easter. It confused me to learn basketball was more important to Easter, but like I said, it’s the stepmonster’s family, not mine.

One thing I have picked up on is that sometimes two fans from opposing teams can actually get along. Daddy and the stepmonster didn’t fight over their teams. They joked with each other and stuff, but it wasn’t mean. I must admit even though the stepmonster’s family sounds fanatical about Louisville, they seem to be evolving somewhat because they have accepted a few Kentucky fans into the family through marriage. It’s still unacceptable to like Kentucky if you were born into the family, but at least they are nice and don’t seem to mind if a spouse cheers for the Big Blue.

Daddy’s family isn’t that far along yet I am sorry to say. It’s unthinkable to most of them to marry a Louisville fan, and boy did they tell the stepmonster about it. At least I’m safe here with my daddy, and won’t be forced to wear red. However, it was the stepmonster who bought me the blue collar just because daddy would like it and it looks so good on me. Maybe she would have spared me. If not, I’m sure daddy would have put his foot down over it and protected me. That’s just one of the reasons I love him so much.

My visit from mommy

I know I promised a diary entry on Tuesday to tell you how my visit from mommy went, but mommy got sick and didn’t visit me until last night. Daddy warned her when she arrived that I’d been in a cranky mood all day. What does he expect? He slept late which meant my breakfast was late. That would make anycat cranky.

Things are going great living with daddy and I’m very happy, except when he doesn’t feed me on time. He apologized and said he was really tired due to his new job, but that’s just not acceptable to me. I expect my breakfast when I want it, not when he can manage to wake up. . Just to show him who is boss, I stayed mad at him all day and napped under the bed.

Mommy arrived with several presents for me, but I acted like I wasn’t interested. I almost messed up and chased the feather toy she brought, but I stopped. How would it look? Then she put down some fresh, organic catnip for me and I couldn’t resist it. I gobbled it up and rolled in it. It was divine, but I wouldn’t let mommy pet me at all.

Later on, mom came into my bedroom and lay down on the bed. She put me on the bed with her, and I felt sorry for her and let her snuggle me and pet me. I even purred. As many of you know, I’m a one person kitty, and my person is Daddy. Mommy’s always been super nice, but I still prefer my daddy. So, I stayed with mom for a while and got some love and then went back under my bed. I admit it wasn’t fair to be so mean to mom just because I was still upset with dad, but I was just in a bad mood.

Mommy seemed happy that she got in some snuggle time though. She and daddy had dinner and talked some. She visited for hours. Before she left, she came in and gave me some ear and chin scratches too. It felt really good and I wondered if this mad thing was worth the trouble.

Daddy took a picture of me in some bunny ears, and sent it to mommy, so I’m putting it up on my page. I must say I think I look quite nice in pink. MOL

I do miss all my pals here, but daddy isn’t very good at Catster, so for now, mommy is still helping me. Hopefully, daddy will get the hang of it before long and I’ll be back in action. Til then, I’ll just keep updating every once in a while when mom comes to visit me. I hope she always brings presents!
