Shylo Ninja Kitna.

Throwing momma bone

Yep that's right she was gone sunday and most of today (monday) and I was very happy to see her but I didn't want her to know that, but I really was because when she is gone we don't get can's when mom is gone.

So when she came out to give us our can I played it very cool until she sat down on the hollow log to give everyone cuddles, and she loved on everyone then I couldnt' stand it anymore I ran up to her and rubbed on her and begged her to pet me.

She was surprised and gave me lots of luvins then said okay CAN TIME oh music to my ears!!!!

We got can then I cuddled with mom one more time.

She is so happy now.
and signing.

mmmmm I might get my own can out of this, I might have to work this angle a little more


LylShylo

Look into my eyes

My name is LylShylo not LylShyla, LLYYYLLLLSHYLOOOOOOOOOO I am a boy not a girl A BOY. I went to the vet to get fixed I don’t need to be fixed my mom is the one that needed to be fixed, all this time she has thought and been telling everyone what pretty girl I am, well Dr. Mark called my mom and told her finally that I am A BOY, my kitty mom Ming knew this, and I am sure she is laughing at the Rainbow bridge at our silly mom, she has had hundreds of kitty’s and this is the first times she guessed wrong.

I kept trying to tell her, would stare really hard at her when she would come into the kitty room to feed us, and clueless as she was she thought I was trying to read her mind *LylShylo rolls his eyes* sheesh how can you read something that is blank MOL MOL.

So, she has correctly changed my name to LylShylo and so I’m still named after my Auntie Shyla, and now she tells me what a handsome boy I am. I thought she was never going to figure it, but Dr. Mark set her straight something about something not coming down like it’s supposed to, I don’t care my mom knows I’m a handsome boy now, and funny thing is all the other kitty’s knew, Indigo and Mango Man my homies knew, and would let me hang with them and they never called me by my girl name they always called me something manly like, bro or homie mol.

Mom let me come out and play with my boys, for a while yesterday, and I showed her how good I am feeling, and when she said I was a handsome boy, I gave her a kitty kiss, you know where you close your eyes really slow, that made her day, she gets all gushy over the simplest things.

So now that I am fixed and Mom is fixed we are all good.

Diary Pick of the Day can you believe that!!!

My diary was Diary Pick of the Day, I left the story up that my Auntie Shyla whom I'm named after by the way, wrote for me.

I am so delighted, and honored and oh yeah so EXCITED see mom I am special I told you I told you *LylShyla I knew you are special already* yeah yeah yeah okay.

Anyway that is so cool now EVERYCAT can read about me and my big brother Whigger and the rest of the kitty condo gang.

I just love it mol mol.



well I better get going mom said she would read the story to us again tonight and I love to hear it it is my story you know ;)

LylShyla the famous

My story all about me by my aunti Shya and her mommy

Once upon a time, (all good stories begin this way), in the land of Ore, there lived a kitty named Lylshyla. If you know kitties, then you know that each kitty is special. But this kitty was extra special. For she had very strong muscles, and a will to match.

Lylshyla was born, the Daughter of Ming Ming. And like her mother, Lylshyla was very bright. After Ming Ming was killed by some very ill-mannered dogs, the rest of her family looked after Lylshyla. There was her big brother Whigger. He was the strong and handsome ranch cat. Her sister Princess Annie was very pretty and kept all the house kitties in line. Sophie was soft and sweet, and she was deaf. WC was an older fellow, handsome but just a little odd. Then there were all the outside kitties: Mango man, Sweet Pea, Furby, and Indigo Montoya. Then there was the Mom. She fed the horses, the pig, the chickens, and ducks and she opened the cans for the kitties.

Back in the olden day, Ming Ming made a friend named Shyla. Shyla and Ming Ming would send pmails and presents to one another. They grew to be great friends. When Ming Ming was heavy with babies, Shyla would check every day to see if the babies were born yet. Then one day, Ming Ming answered that yes, her babies had been born. There was PatPat O’Flanery, Little Simba, and Lylshyla. Both Shyla and Lylshyla were almost all black with just a tiny bit of white on their tummies. Oh it was ever so much fun to be a kitten. LylShyla could nap in the kitten pile. She would wiggle and grunt and play with her siblings. But kittens grow up and go to furever homes and so was the case with PatPat and Little Simba. Only LylShyla remained at the ranch in the land of Ore. And she grew pretty, and smart, and strong.

One day, she received a pmail from Auntie Shyla: Shyla’s Mom was going to rent an RV and drive to the land of Ore for a visit, then all the kitties and the Moms were going go on an adventure. Shyla wanted to meet Auntie Shyla, but she wanted Auntie Shyla all to herself. She did not want to share Shyla with all those brothers and sisters.

Finally the big day arrived. All the kitties nervously groomed themselves to make a good impression. When the big RV pulled into the yard, they could hardly believe their eyes. It was huge. Standing on the dash was Shyla waiving and looking. When the RV finally stopped, the door opened. Out came Auntie Shyla and her Mom.

The first one to greet Shyla was Indigo. He was in such a hurry, he almost ran her over. But Shyla stopped him in time and gave him a head bumper. The screen door slammed and Princess Annie came out. Why did no one tell her Shyla was here? She stomped out, but as soon as she and Shyla met, her anger melted away and they giggled and talked and had a nice visit. As they were talking, Shyla kept looking around. Annie teased her, asking “who are you looking for?” They both meowed out loud. Of course Shyla was looking for her handsome boyfuriend, Whigger. Just then, Whigger came out of the barn. He was doing a last minute check to see that everyone was where they were suppose to be. He looked up, saw the RV and came running. His Shyla was here! He slowed his pace, knowing he must look a little goofy, but he didn’t care. And he knew his Shyla wouldn’t care.


Shyla saw Whigger coming and she left Annie in the middle of a story about a bath. Shyla took off running toward Whigger. Oh my, he was even for handsome than his pictures. When they met they rubbed heads and sides and had quiet little words meant only for the two of them. It had been a very long ride to Ore, but it was all worth it now.

Mom called Shyla and all the kitties came running. It was time for a snack, then they were off to their secret activity. The kitties snacked on tuna, and the Moms had Tea and
cookies. After a while, the Moms called and loaded everyone into the RV. Well, almost
everyone. Lylshyla was watching from around the corner of the old barn. No one missed her. No one said, ‘where is LylShyla?” Not even Auntie Shyla asked about her. She went and hid in the trees and watched all the kitties and the Moms load up into the RV. As they rumbled down the driveway, she could see Whigger sitting right next to Shyla in the window above the cab. They were making google eyes at each other, and they never noticed she was missing. LylShyla went out behind the house, found a sunny spot and
cried till she fell asleep.

The RV was rolling along for about an hour when they finally came to a stop. They were at a paint ball field. Annie called out loudly “what on earth are we doing HERE?” The Mom’s smiled to one an other, then turned around to talk to the kitties. It seems that this paint ball field was closed. They had some mice move in, then more mice, and still more mice. They were needing a crew of kitties to round up the mice so the people could start coming back. Whigger and Shyla looked at each other. This was going to be FUN!

The kitties hurried out to follow the Moms. The Moms were talking to Mr. Summers. He seemed a nice sort, but he just didn’t know what to do to get rid of his mouse problem. When he saw all the kitties coming out of the RV, he almost danced a little dance. He was so happy to have help with his mouse problem. Mr. Summers told the
kitties that if they just chased the mice back into the woods, the mice would come back after the kitties left. He showed the kitties an barrel. If they would put the mice in there,
he was sure he could take them to a pet store.

So Whigger started barking out orders. “You, take that corner, You, take this one. Annie, you and Shyla work from the parking lot and I’ll drive the mice in from that side. Give the little rascals a bite, and leave them where they are. After they have all been downed, we’ll go back and pick them up and put them in Mr. Summers barrel. Any questions?”

All the kitties were anxious to start the big mouse round up. No one asked questions, but
silently took their positions. Whigger gave one loud “Mrow” and there were cats & mice everywhere. Cats were hunting and mice were dropping and Mr. Summers was as happy as he could be. The Mom’s were talking to each other as though nothing special was happening. It was so much fun. There had to be 25 mice for each kitty to catch. After about 45 minutes, the mice were pretty much all down. Now the kitties had fun making piles of their kills and counting how many each killed. Whigger had he most, followed by Shyla. Annie had one, which was one more than she had ever had before. She was so proud, she wanted to take her mouse head home. Her Mom said no, so she couldn’t.

Mr. Summers paid them all $40.00 for their work rounding up his mice. They all loaded into the RV and rumbled down the road. They were famished, so they pulled into a drive in restaurant. The Mom’s ordered 6 orders of “fish and chips, hold the chips on 4 of them.” They put 4 orders of fish down for the kitties to share and sat down to enjoy their lunch. The kitties ate and laughed and talked about the great mouse hunt. They all agreed that it was the most fun they had ever had, and that the fish was wonderful. After they all had their fill they all got back into the RV. This time, as the RV rumbled down the road, there were lots of sleeping kitties curled up here and there, dreaming about the great mouse hunt.

When they got back, LylShyla was sitting on the porch pouting. When they were all out of the RV, LylShyla shouted at them: “you left without me! You didn’t even wait for me. Did you even miss me?” Whigger whispered something to Shyla. then he said:
LylShyla, come with us. We have something to show you.” So Whigger, Shyla, and LylShyla walked off toward the pond. They spent the rest of that afternoon hunting bugs, chasing frogs, making fun of the ducks, and as the sun set, they watched a falling star.
As they lay in the soft grass, LylShyla between them, Shyla and Whigger told LylShyla how she had to be sure to include herself in the family’s activities. That the only one that could prevent her from having fun, was herself. She promised to try to include herself.

They stayed there talking and laughing till they heard it was time to come in for cans.
They laughed all the way back. Later that night, LylShyla crawled very slowly and very carefully into her Mom’s lap. She wasn’t sure what to do once she got there, because she had never been there before. Annie whispered to LylShyla “lay down, and stay put.” LylShyla did and she found after a while that it was warm, and comfortable. Before she knew it, she was waking up from a nap, all safe & secure on her Mom’s lap.

She never told anybody about the dream. But while she slept on her Mom’s lap, she dreamed that each kitty in her family had a job, and when they all did their jobs, life was very good.

As Mom and the kitties sat on the porch, waiving good bye to Shyla and her Mom, LylShyla felt a little sorry for Shyla. She didn’t have a big brother to look out for her. She didn’t have a sister to tell her how to settle in on a lap. She didn’t have anybody at home to run, laugh, or hunt with. Maybe having a big family wasn’t so bad after all.

I have learned a lesson

OMC I am a diary pick of the day, does this mean I'm famous now?

Well, I know I'm very special mom always tells me that, and my kitty mom Ming Ming used to tell me that too.

I had my first real adventure last night, you see we are all supposed to go back into the cat room in the barn at night, well, I didn't want to I wanted to stay out all night because I'm a feroucous feral kitty like my Auntie Shyla.

My Auntie Shyla and my kitty mom Ming Ming are very strong and smart kitty's and I know I"m the same as they are I am smart and strong too.

So when mom called all the kitty's in for Can Can I chose to hide, mom called and called and called for me but I was hiding and she couldn't see me, she went in and fed everyone their can-can but then she found me, but she couldn't catch me because I'm so fast, I ran and hid again, she waited and tried for over an hour to catch me, but she couldn't because I'm to fast and to smart.

I heard mom say okay Lylshyla you are on your own tonight, stay away from the horses and don't leave the barn, *yeah right I am a big kitty, I can do what ever I want* then the lights went off, and then the barn door SHUT, okay I'm okay, I'm alone I'm okay.

Then I heard something what was that who was it, so I mewed really quiet to see if it was someone who understood kitty, it didn'tw meow back, then I heard a really loud sound so I dove under a feed bag to hide, and looked out but I couldnt' see anything it was too dark in there, where were the lights mom always leaves the lights on in the cat room, I can see the lights on in there and I can hear the other kitty's getting ready for bed *heavey sigh* .

There it was again a BIG noise what was it, okay I'm okay, I'm a big brave feral kitty, I will go find out what the BIG noise is so I crept out from under the safety of the feed bag and crawled really low on my tummy so in case it was mean I would be really small, and it wouldn't see me, then it did it again BIG noise, aggghhhhh I ran back to the feed bag, phew good thing it can't see me in here.

Then I hear something, right next to me, I quiet breathing and my eyes are as big as they can get what is it, does it eat feral kitty's mom told me there are things that eat feral kitty's then it was coming closer oh my gosh, okay I'm going to purr maybe that will calm me down, I'm purrrrrriiiiiinnnnnggggggg, then WHAP something hit the feed bag RUN RUN I ran and then I found a box to hide in phew, maybe it won't find me in here, okay, I'm okay.

Then I hear it coming closer to the box, oh no, I'm thinking it wasn't such a good idea to be out on my own, oh no it's shaking the box, oh no I have to RUN again I'm running across the barn floor out a small hole in the barn wall, great it's raining out here no it's pouring out here and I'm getting wet. I don't like being wet, looking behind me I see somethign dark coming after me, oh no it's stalking me like I'm a mouse, oh I have to hide, oh look there is a door back into the barn, I'll go back in where it's dry, yeah yeah that's the plan

I walk toward the door, OMC what is that and it just made the BIG noise, ohhhhhh I know who that is, it's Ditto the old stallion, phew, well he isn't scary he is nice to us kitty's I can go in there and hide, noone will find me in there.

I crawl into his feed manger, oh it's dry and smells like hay in here, this is a very good place to hide oh this is very nice and warm, i'm getting so sleepy, I think I'll just take a nap here.

MEOW MEOW MEOW *BOP BOP on the head* what, who, I open my eyes WIDE it's Whigger oh Whigger I'm so scared I should have went in when it was time, I'm hungry cold and wet, I shouldn't be out here I want to go back inside and be warm with all my kitty sisters and brothers, oh whigger, there was something big and scary it was chasing me mom said there are other critters that eat feral kitt'y's I don't want to be a feral kitty I want to be just a barn cat oh whigger I'm so tired.

*Dont' cry LylShyla, I'll stay here with you until mom comes out in the morning, then you tell her your sorry and she will love you up and put back in the kitty room, so just snuggle back down, I'll stay here and watch out for you, and you know you have the best Guardian Angel your mommy Ming Ming watching over you, so you just go to sleep now.

So I snuggled down and went to sleep and I dreamed safe dreams.

Then Hollywood the rooster started crowing and woke me up when I opened my eyes Whigger was sitting on the edge of the feeder watching me, then he jumped down and said * chore time, mom will be in, in a few minutes.* then I heard mom yelling LylShyla where are you, here I am mom, I popped up and she said oh so how was your night out?. I just walked up to her and then walked to the door of the kitty room, she said oh your ready to go back in, okay then, she opened the door, and I walked in and went straight to get a mouthful of can, but there wasn't any left, great, okay I'll have a snack of dry food then it's nap time. phew.

I think just being a barn kitty is okay

LylShyla the Barn Kitty

I missed it all

I can't believe I missed the great mouse caper, we had three mousys in our barn, and I didn't get to catch one.

I could have caughten a mouse too, Indigo caught one and so did Sadie and Whigger, Mom said now she has to add Indigo and Sadie to catster, so they will have their own pages too.

But mom can 't I catch a mouse, I'm not a baby you know, I know how to catch mice, after all my very own auntie was feral, my mom was part feral kitty, that makes me feral I know how to catch mouses.

LylShyla you always try to run out of the barn and hide when I let you come out, so if you promise to stay in the barn and not go outside where the horses and cows are I will let you out tomorrow, to play for awhile or you can go into the play pen in the yard your choice?

I'm not a baby I don't need to go into the play pen in the yard, I promise *LylShyla crosses paws* I wont go out in the pasture with the horses and cows really I promise mom.

Okay we'll see tomorrow.

woo hoo I get to go play in the barn with the other kitty's tomorrow I'm so excited, because I"m going to find a mousey of my very own.

Excited LylShyla

I am not the baby anymore

Now that Boo Boo had baby kittens for Halloween.

I don't have to be the baby anymore.

I didn't like being the baby, everyone kept telling me how cute I was, and they wanted to snuggle and cuddle.

I am a ferocious feral kitty like my Auntie Shyla and I am not cute and cuddly.

Mom keeps picking me up and telling me I will like getting picked up and cuddled, but I dont' like it now, so I squirm and squiggle to get down.

Mom has finally gotten the pop top cat cans (phew *LylShyla leans into the screen I don't think my mom is very smart*) so now the cans open alot a faster, so glad she did that I do NOT like waiting for my cans to be opened.

Mom said I could go outside today, so now I am pacing in front of the door she said I had to wait *I hate waiting* until the man with the big machine is gone.

I plan on going and seeing the big kitty's and maybe going and talking to Stryker our dog ( she is the one that tried to save my mom MingMIng from the mean dogs).

Heavy sigh I still miss my mom, I wish she was still here, to clean my ears, and wash my face.

Well, I better go mom said I can go out real soon as soon as the rumbling stops everyone else is hiding, but the rumbling doesn't scare me, because I"m brave and not a scaredy cat.

*shyla waves at monitor* HI Auntie Shyla.

Well, I better go get myself ready to go outside.

bye for now.

LylShyla *mom can I change my name to BigShyla?*

No LylShyla you are still Lyl

*LylShyla grumbles* okay

Bye all kitty's.

Still LylShyla *LylShyla mutters under breath for now anyway*

Finally my turn

Hello and welcome to the LylShyla show.

what mom oh yeah sorry this is just my diary.

Okay here is what is going on with me, I caught a leave yesterday, and today I let mom pick me up with out hissing at her once.

I was nice to the other weeones.

okay on to my demands eeerrrr uuuuhhhh requests:

could mom please be quicker with opening the cans, sheesh she takes forever she has to pet and love on everyone first, and the strange thing is the like it, the wait for mom to come and luv up on everyone, me I just want the can, just put the can in the dish, then you can luv up on everyone.

Whigger is mean to me he growls at me, whenever he comes in the weeones room, and honest mom I dont' do anything wrong.

oh yeah and why do I have to stay in the weeones room I am afterall a mean feral kitty like my auntie Shyla, I can take care of myself, I know my way around, and I have sharp claws and teeth and I can really yowl.

I do miss my mom, and I still look for her *sniff sniff* but mom says she is at the rainbow bridge and she is waiting for us, and thatshe has wings and she can fly down and be with us, i keep looking but I don't see her ever, do you think mom is telling the truth.

I want to tell my Auntie Shyla that mom read the story that she wrote about my mom (ming) to me again and it was such a nice story, i love the part about Me, but I don't like the belly rubs and pets anymore, makes me grizzle. well most of the time anyway.

I can't wait for Auntie Shyla to write my story.

Well, mom says I have to go to bed now *mom can't I stay up a little longer please I'll be a really good kitty* no LylShyla you get grumpy when you stay up to late.

well, now i"m really grumpy, ggrrrrrrr what was that little girl?

Nothing mom I didn't say anything really.

Good night everyone and I will talk to you all again later.

LylShyla
