Feliz Navidad!!

Wow! As mom says "Where the h@#k did the year go?!" I'm hoping there's some new catnip meeces in one of those packages. They'd be in my stocking but I pulled that down about 2 days after mom put it up. Dad's wishing for some Christmas snow -- he's not getting much use out of his Mad River season pass at this point. Mom would like Santa to bring her the Pearl Jam book and some gift cards. Me & my sibs want treats, treats and more treats!
But those are just things that are fun to get and give. What we're really wishing for is good health, good times and our troops to come home. Here's to a bright 2007!

My week of fun.

Well, diary, I can say it was a short week. The slaves took off on vacation leaving me in charge of the place. Needless to say, things ran smoothly. Dr. Amie stopped in everyday and shared her lunch with me -- like she had a choice! Best of all, no gassy smelly canine around. I slept on the big bed all by myself -- it was wonderful. I really tried hard not to beat up on Calvin & Carmen too much....they're so easy. But they came back and the man took over the reins of the home again. I'm still plotting my rebellion -- oh, it will happen, when the time is right.

Hasta la vista!

Every time I look at our rollcall I realize what a great looking bunch we are!

Orange cats rock!!!

Nobody asked me....

Well, well, well....who runs this ship around here? Since my arrival as a wee kitten it has been me. But today, Pegz, the neighbor's canine has shown up to stay with us for a week. I don't recall anyone getting my permission for this sleep-over. Two dogs in one house?! How is that fair to us cats? Don't get me wrong, Peggy is alright for a dog and it will keep Zeus off my back for a week. But still? Isn't it enough that the lady of the house kept me up all night with her "flu-bug". Talk about gross -- I mean leaning over the potty all night?! I don't lean over the litter box when I have to upchuck -- I just let loose wherever I happen to be. Of course, I have a couple nimrods to clean up after me. Speaking of nimrods...this silly dog, Zeus is laying in the sun getting all hot. In 15 minutes he's gonna go in the other room where there is no sun to cool off then, because he's a dumb dog, he'll be back in here to get all hot again. What a tool!

There. I have vented. I will sleep much better now. After some food.

Whew!

What an exciting day! My new group's membership has surpassed 400 big (or small), beautiful, intelligent orangies (and variations of orangeness). I've been working hard to keep up with all the new members and the messages they're passing around. This is the most fun mom's ever let me have on the computer (aside from the shopping for catnip and other accessories online). I've got to say that I really enjoy meeting all these new feline friends that have that special characteristic...that citrus-y bind that we all have. Orange is such a wonderful breed of cat. We are the epitomy of cat-lihood. What can you say about an Orange Cat that hasn't already been said.
Go ahead, envy us.

Woman. Please!

The lady of the house (my momma, my slave) keeps trying to dress me like Joose. Now, don't get me wrong, I am a Wolverine fan, even if they did disappoint us, but that's neither here nor there.... I've now lost my train of thought. Anyway, she is not, I repeat, NOT going to get that jersey on me (see the dog's page). Superman suit, sure, I was a dumb kid. Punk shirt, well, that was enough. I'm not a little dippy doggy. I do not dress up for humans. I am a refined, intelligent, and hip cat. The dog, for whatever reason, likes to make her happy. Bottom line....she is here to make me happy and keep me happy, not the other way around. That's what's cool about daddio - he understands me...he knows that if he tries that crap with me I'll squish his chest while he's trying to sleep. Can't do that with her...she holds the food card. There's a fine line between getting my way all the time and getting my moist food every morning. Oooh, she's coming, gotta go!

Just caught a glimpse of my reflection in the window....Hot Dog!! I'm one good-looking guy.
Modest, too.

Job well done!

Mom got to see me in action this morning. And boy was I good! Here's how it went down.
She was in the basement cleaning our litter boxes (bless her soul). Well right next to her little hand weights (that have been getting little use) was this big hairy spider and I just couldn't reach it. So she sees me poking and prodding and comes to see whats going on. I think she thought it was just one of those lady bug things that are all over the place right now so she moves the weight and, hee hee, boy oh boy did she ever jump!!!! That big hairy thing went running right towards her...she's shrieking and carrying on like a lunatic...HEE HEE...Mom doesn't even have the guts to step on it -- she's got shoes on -- just step on it woman!!! Sensing her fear, well after I split my sides laughing, I jumped into action. Like Clark Kent saving Lois Lane, I swooped down upon the beast and .....I ATE HIM!!!!! He actually took several bites to get down but he was rather tasty. I thought mom was gonna hurl and then she loaded me up to take to work with her (that's not what I call a reward). Nothing happened, she just wanted to monitor me for vomiting -- Isn't she sweet?!
Needless to say, I was rewarded with an extra taste of the moist food -- as if I need it.

It's been awhile...

Hey diary...long time, no write. I'll admit, haven't had much to say. It's been a little boring around here. Chasing Carmen & Zeus gets old but that Calvin...well I'm not sure what he's on but he's a changed cat. He eats almost as much as I do and he tries to pick fights with me. WITH ME!!! Doesn't he know what he's getting into? This morning, for example, I was sitting in the window, watching the birds and who gets up in the window and bats me on the head?! Yeah, you guessed it....Cal-turd. I was the bigger cat, I ignored it and moved on - plus mom had her eye on us and if I've learned anything from watching Detroit hockey...the guy who starts the fight never gets caught...it's the poor sap who is fighting back. To top it off, he's always sweet talking mom & dad and letting them pet him and looking all sweet. He behaves at the vet, he takes his medicine, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm keeping track of all these things Calvin, I'm king of this here domain....Don't you forget it. Oh, yeah, I'm much bigger than you, too!

Dextro out.
