Today, I am 12.

Well. Today I am 12 years old. MomKatt says it's hard to believe it's been that long since I came to live with her after they picked me out. I went for my "well kitty" on Sat., and we're waiting on news of my bloodwork today. I feel fine, now that I'm over that nasty URI I had last month, though I have some corneal scarring that, the vet said, most likely won't go away because, when a kitty gets a URI that bad, it causes ulcers in the eyes & scars the corneas. :(

Oh well, it's OK. Nothing in life should be perfect and, besides, my energy is back full force, I'm eating like a horse again and am only sneezing occasionally. They think it's pollen. That yellow stuff is nasty & gets everywhere, and MomKatt's a fresh-air fiend so, before it gets too humid, she likes having our doors & windows open (screens in, of course).

Anyway, I'm going to celebrate my birthday by napping a lot today. We'll probably play some this evening when MomKatt gets home from her spin bike class. I am happy and loved and well cared-for and no 12-year old kitty can ask for more, can they?

Love
Livy

 

Thank yous!

I just wanted to meow "THANK YOU" to everyone who's been concerned about me & my illness & my progress.

Today, 3/15, I'm doing better, still sniffly a little but the sneezing is mostly gone (we hope!) and I'm making efforts at eating. I'm also getting Forti-Flora in my baby food and Lysine in anything I eat that MomKatt can get it into to help build me up. I also last night finally ate some treats, which I normally love but which I've been refusing lately ... MomKatt KNOWS I don't feel good if I'm not pestering her for treats!

It's just going to take me awhile to get back my form back. MomKatt is patient, however, and I really AM a good kitty & try to cooperate as much as possible, even though I hate eye drops!

Thank you again - it's wonderpurr to have so many caring furriends!

Love
Livia

 

I'm the only Aby now

I'm the only Aby now at my house since Feisal left to go to the Bridge on Fri. MomKatt says I bear a great responsibility, representing my breed in our clowder ... and being the only Aby she has to love on now.

I miss my brofur. After MomKatt got back, I sniffed and sniffed ALL OVER the carrier. Why wasn't he there? Then she put it up on the counter & forgot about it and I climbed in & sat there & didn't come out for a VERY long time.

Something told me he wasn't coming back when he left that morning. I'd said my goodbyes the day before, hanging with him & MomKatt at his bed in the dining room.

On Sun. (or was it Sat.?) she washed the boogie mat that was in his bed, put the material that holds the 'nip back in it & laid it out all nicely in his bed. Then she cried.

A couple of hours later, she came into the dining room to find me sitting there serenely. I was thinking about him there, remembering what a special brofur he was.

I miss him.

Sad purrs,
Livia

Excited purrs,

Happy birfday to me! I'm 11 years old today! IT's hard to believe it's been 11 years now that I've lived with Mom&DadKatt. They don't think I look 11 - whatever 11 looks like. I certainly don't ACT 11 - unless it's 11 months old, maybe. Hee hee!

Happy birfday to me!

Love
Livia

 

SAY "NO!" TO NUTRO!

WE THINK THAT CATSTER SHOULD PULL ITS NUTRO ADVERTISING, SINCE THAT FOOD WAS INVOLVED IN ALL THE KITTY DEATHS RECENTLY AND CAUSED SO MANY FAMILIES SO MUCH HEARTACHE!

Ice Cream Game

Hi!

Odie's sib, Poo, tagged me in an Ice Cream Game - thanks, Poo! I have to write what flavor would best suit my purrsonality & why, and tag four other furriends to make entries in their diaries! Fun!

I'd DEFINITELY be Blue Bunny "Peanut Butter Panic" because I'm an Aby and I'm NUTS! Even at 9 years old, I RACE around the house all the time and am just all in a dither! I'm FAST FAST FAST! Mom&DadKatt call me "little cougar" and "greyhound" 'cause I'm so fast.

OK ... so what flavor would suit THESE purrsonalities? I'm tagging four friends:

Gromit
Hudson
Chai
Alexis Tippy

Today is my 9th b'day!

9 years ... I can't believe it. I'm so blessed w/such a nice home & pawrents who love me. I know I can be a right pain in the butt sometimes, with my neediness, but I really just want love (and food. Not in that order all the time but, yeah, basically those are my only two needs, wants or desires ... at ALL times!)

So ... happy b'day to me! 9 is Momkatt's favorite number too!

 

I've been HEARTED!

Gentleman Jack (blushing) a VERY handsome ruddy Aby boy, has "hearted" me so I can tell 5 things about myself in my diary so ... here goes!

Livia's 5

1. I love to drink from the bathroom faucet & make a nuisance of myself until MomKatt puts me up there while she's getting ready for work!

2. My favorite toy is a milk tab.

3. My favorite food is still ANYTHING! MOL

4. In April I will be 9 years old - no, I can't believer it either!

5. Like Jack, I too do not wear a collar!

 

Been tagged!

Hi,

I was tagged for a fun game by a lovely young Aby girl called Isis! She is one of Feisal's buddies ... (Sorry Isis but my typist was lazy, so she copied your description below! I hope you don't mind! MOL)

OK - Here are the rules of the game! Each player starts with seven random facts
about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to post in their Diary the rules &
their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 cats to tag and list their names.

Don’t forget to purr them a pmail that they have been tagged and to read your
Diary or send them a fun Rosette announcing they've been Tagged!

OK 7 pawsome facts about me, Livia:

1. I'm Gromit's girlfriendkitty! :)

2. I've been in one cat show (but I didn't like it very much).

3. I love STINK! (Anything that stinks, I'm on it.) And body lotion. And perfume. Yummy! (MomKatt canNOT understand this fetish of mine.)

4. I'm VERY fast!

5. I eat ALL DAY LONG and never gain a THING! (Purrlease don't hate me.) :)

6. MomKatt sings a song about me taken from "Lydia The Tattooed Lady", and it goes: "Livia, oh Livia, say have you met Livia/Livia the BLUE Abyssinian!" (She's so silly, my MomKatt. But the funny thing is that now she's got Gromit's Mommy singing it, too!)

7. I'm a LOVE machine! 24/7, that's exactly how long I will tolerate a human lovin' on me!

OK now I have to tag 7 kitties .. gosh do I KNOW 7 kitties? OK here goes ..

1. Gromit (naturally)
2. Lucy (of FFF)
3. Ramses (I AM trying to get to know other Abys, after all!)
4. Bamboo
5. Odie (my sisfur Morticia's adopted "little sister")
6. Playful
7. Meatball

Gotta get going to let 'em all know!

Livia (purring happily)
