Woohoo! Go Maine Coons!

Mom just finally got caught up on the comp today (she has been really busy this week, I have BARELY gotten enough attention, meoowww). Anyway, she says that this week Catster is celebrating Maine Coons and that I am part Maine Coon! I am not sure what that means...there was a RACcoon in our tree once, but Mom said I am not his cousin. Hmmmm....well anway, she said that is really cool! WTG Catster!

A little fall

Today Dad was on the computer and I wanted to jump to the top of the computer desk (see my pics, that is my favorite place to nap)...well, I didn't plan my jump well enough and so I didn't make it. I landed on the chair. I am ok, but I am so humiliated. I AM the alpha male, and I can't let Dad see me fail at anything, lest he think HE is the alpha male in this house. I just gave him "the look" and walked away. Hope that keeps him in his place.

Catching up

Sorry, diary, I have not been good at writing. What can I say, not a lot goes on in my world, at least not that concerns me, and this is all about me, me, me!

The holidays are over. I am glad 'cause twice Mom and the gang left me alone while they went visiting. Oh, it was SO lonely. Santy Paws brought me some nice things. I love the treats and the catnip. Mommy gave me some new toys, I think she is trying to hint at exercise...is that woman mad????? How would exercise benefit ME???

One thing that Mom said though is that she is proud of me. See (I hate to admit this) but I pee on things. Mostly it is just so that noone forgets I am around. Well, my Dad has been giving me more attention (Mom always does, but it is new Dad paying me so much attention) and I haven't peed anywhere besides the litterbox for a month!!! Mom says that that deserves a treat. I wonder what it will be??? Keep your paws crossed for tuna!!!!

Time to snuggle with Mom, catch ya later!

The VET!!!

Yesterday Mommy took me to the vet! I knew something was weird when I left in the car and the doggy didn't. Well, some parts of the vet I really like. I like getting all the attention. I love being told over and over how handsome I am!!!!

BUT!!!! This girl put something up my BUTT!!!! Oh the humility! The shame! I felt I had no dignity left. I am still getting over it today. At least she apologized.

THEN another girl came in and she poked me with sharp things in my hips! Owe!!! She tricked me cuz I didn't even know what she was gonna do. And Mommy just watched...I am STILL mad at her!

Oh yeah, they weighed me too, now I weigh 15 lbs. I love being a big boy!

I have not had a good week so far.

OK, first of all, my humans went away for the weekend. They took the DOG but not me? *tear, tear* -- how could they? They finally got home and I was SO happy. Mom did give me some extra attention. But, then, THEN, they went back to work. And you know what happened?

First of all Mom and Dad moved all the furniture in the living room. I thought maybe they were making a new obstacle course for me...so I waited patiently. Then...while Mom and Dad were gone at work...STRANGE men came into our house! I meowed, I screamed -- it was HORRIBLE! They picked me up and shut me in the bathroom. I thought it was the end. Oh, I would never see Mom or Dad again. Aye. The dumb dog, she just sat there and wagged her tail in her crate. Dear goodness, what my mom sees in that dog I will never know.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Mommy came home for something called lunch. She heard my desperate cries and rescued me from my dark cell. I was SO relieved, I thought I would never see her again! She took me to the living room. One of the walls is the same color as grass!!! But, trust me, it doesn't taste like grass!!!

Is it Friday yet? I want my Mommy to stay at home and cuddle with me. Ummm...not that I wouldn't be ok alone, because I totally would. Yeah, that's the ticket, I am tough, I can be on my own...

A pondering

If a dog barks in the forest, and there is noone to hear it, is he still dumb?

It was a bad thing

Oh my gosh. Two days ago, the human neighbor left the door open. I seized the opportunity for a great stroll. Thought I could get some fresh air, maybe even meet a lady if luck was on my side. Boy, did I make a mistake. My human family flipped out! I was only about 100 ft from our home, if that! My sister (she is 8 in human years), she loves me so much that she started crying. Goodness, if I knew a jaunt in the neighborhood was going to cause so much trouble.... But, ahhh, it is SO tempting when an opportunity arises. Mom says I need to learn to understand that I am a house cat. I say house cat shmouse cat. Hey did someone say mouse?

Sept 13, 2004

Today has been a good day. The parents went back to work for the week (I missed Mom), that meant I could taunt the dog who had to stay in her kennel. We all know who is the more responsible pet, the one who can be left out and can go potty all by himself!

Mom came home from work and snuggled me, then she gave me a kitty treat. She took the dog out, so I didn't have to worry about being harrassed. It was beautiful outside, which meant there was an open window for me to lounge on.

The day is almost over, so I will lay in front of the computer, where I will wait for Mom, then follow her to bed and wrap my body around the top of her head.

Yup, it ain't easy being the alpha male, but I can hack it.
