Likes:
"working" with the human (i.e. sitting or laying on the window-sill aside the desk and spreading good atmosphere), using her brain for reaching and detecting goodies, demonstratively ignoring dogs barking at her

Pet-Peeves:
being petted more than once per day, being told to leave the kitchen, loud people and other noisy stuff, thumbowners that actually believe a thumb gives the right to own(!) a creature (she has been told about such ridiculous things)

Favorite Toy:
snake-look-alikes (from old leather tie to simple cords); during the summer months: moths and flies

Favorite Nap Spot:
usually nearby the human. after some rare occasions of being 'educated' everywhere where the human is far...

Favorite Food:
everything that does not bite a cat's nose

Skills:
she can patiently wait with her morning rituals (entering the bed and either demand belly-rubs or fight the dangerous monster she reckons under the cover) until the can-opener is fully awake.

Dwells:
indoors

Arrival Story:
ishtar's mom was a stray. the little family got caught by the animal rescue to be spayed when she was about 3 or 4 months old. after the operation ishtar had to survive some serios illnesses. these experiences made her both shy and clumsy. aged five months she met her human in the shelter and from first sight the two-legged adored the red anger-"wrinkles" on her forehead and disregarded her (mental) handicaps. first thing to do after adoption was to rename her from "Mieze" to "Ishtar" as this reflects her character much better.

Lives Remaining:
7 of 9

Forums Motto:

A Cat's Conspiracy Theories


OTG


August 18th 2008 7:52 am   [link to this entry]

ernie has tagged me. funny: he's one of 5 (plus a few more ;-) ) and I have 5 questions to answer and 5 cats to tag for the Olympic Tag Game



1. What is your favorite olympic sport?
in winter it's snowboarding, these humans behave like cats: headless running and funny jumping. in summer it's the human hepta- or decathlon. it's not half as interesting as cat pentathlon [curtain fighting, window-sill jumpstopping, powernapping, rug digging, bug chasing] – but they're only humans. so it's ok.

2. Do you prefer summer or winter olympics?
the winter games. in summer so many of these twoleggeds show their unfurred ugliness… in the winter they at least wear woven hair substitutes…

3. What is the quirkiest thing that you do?
sorry?

4. Do you have a crush on any other kitty out there and if so, who?
if i had i wouldn't admit…

5. What's your favorite rosie or zealie and why?
i love anonymous greetings. they're the pure spirit!

i tag these five friends:

1. prince
2. gabby
3. little girl
4. pepitoula
5. puss-puss

i will have to think over something


August 5th 2008 11:03 pm   [link to this entry]

yesterday some kind of [numerous "names", cleared by my human] tried to offend my sister dotty. hq bathed this but i will have to discuss this with human. it should be HER job to prevent us from [next list of names, again cleared by human]. some of my friends ignored it and continued playing (boys, you're the best!!!) but i will think over the below mentioned decision. human says i am reacting too touchy. but sorry! no [next cleared list of names] has a right make me or my sister sad. the less this is allowed for any of our human typists…


1 year!


August 2nd 2008 10:52 pm   [link to this entry]

i had never thought i'd stay at one place for so long. now it's almost four years with human and exactly one year here on catster.

time for a review?!

i have found friends - among them the best friends a kitty can have.
i have sadly lost friends (bye-bye patches! bye-bye fritz! i miss you.)
i have tried to send hope and thoughts to sick friends.
i was made a covergirl by princess diana ♥)O(
i have been shown my inner ishtar by sergei.
against my will human published silly kitten photos.
i introduced my sister in mind dotty – if human never met her she wouldn't ever have thought of living with a cat.
i showed you the barbarous aspects of my hard working life.
i have found strength and support when human was devastated by family news (thank you so much toulouse – we're always thinking of you and your amazing human!).
i found comfort when our "friendly neighbours" horrified me with silly ruckus [see me in my panic shelf].
i have played hundreds of games.
i learned what human means by mentioning i shouldn't "judge book by its cover".
i have asked and answered.
my diary was featured on may 6 as ddp and human didn't tell me in time to welcome my guests.
i was a quizmaster – but couldn't replace baby girl.
i was made fun of.
i was interviewee of the week – thanks athena!
i've been tagged a million times and haven't yet played all tag-games.
i got rosettes and stars and sometimes did not know who to thank.
i gave a few rosettes myself – sometimes being the most famous cat of all: "anonymous".
i had great conversations with cats in africa, america, asia, australia and europe.
i invented – together with kaci - a way of café cleaning that is more fun than any party.

i had a great time and: sorry, you all will have to bear me for another while!!!

POSTSCRIPT: for the first time ever i introduce "the boys" [pic removed]. they taught human patience, calmness, the language of furnoses, respect and how to spoil intelligent creatures. they won't ever be forgotten!
