My 5th Birthday!

Meow! It is hard to believe that I'm getting to be all grown up. Momma often tells me the story about how I became a member of this family and she always hugs me extra tight and tells me how she will love me furrever and ever. It makes my heart purr extra loud and hard to know that I will always be my Momma's little boy even though I am quite the distinguished man-cat now.
I want to thank Catster and all of my pawsome furrends here for making my Birthday such a special day for me. Big thanks go out to the following for all of the cool prezzies that are decorating my page: My darling girlfurrend, Tiger Lily and her family (cupcake), Porkchop and family (cupcake), Milo and family (shrimp), Sofie and family (shrimp), Tessa (rosebud), Harley (ladybug), Elsa (bluebird), my family (layer cake), and a gold forever heart especially just for me from my Momma.
I also have to thank the Tabbies O Trout Town for sending my tons and tons of birthday wishes and mice fishes. May 18th, my 5th birthday, was a purrfectly pawsome day from beginning to end!

Loving purrs,
Simon, the Birthday Boy

My Life is Complete

The girl of my dreams said YES when I asked her to be my very own Valentine! That's right! I'm the MAN! Beautiful, gorgeous, sweet and sassy Miss *TIGER LILY BLOSSOM* has surrendered her heart to me and I couldn't ask for anything more!

I love you so much darling Lily! Thank you for making me so happy.

All meow purrs and love,
Simon

I Hate Cat-a-cures!

I pride myself in making it virtually impawsible for Momma to trim my claws. I run, I hide, I grab on to furniture and hold on for dear life when Momma tries to pick me up and when she finally, succeeds, I squirm, I push away, I howl, I pretend I'm going to bite. Yup, I'm the master of making claw snipping ImPAWsible! MOL
Well, I guess I didn't get the last meow because a couple of days ago, Momma loaded me up in a carrier and took me to that Vet place where a couple people that I didn't know held me tight and snipped my claws before I could even get my two meows in! I hated going to that Vet place too but now that it is over, Momma seems to be a lot happier about rubbing my tummy and not feeling my prized dagger claws piercing her flesh as I wrap my paws around her hands.
I also found out that I have gained a couple of pounds of flesh myself since my last visit. I am now officially a man-cat, Momma's big boy... that's me, and purrty darn pawroud of it!

Loving purrs,
Simon

THANK YOU CATSTER! THANK YOU FURRENDS!

MEE-OW-ZER! We have been so thrilled and humbled by all of the special honors that our Christmastime diary entry has received. Our family came together to express our gratitude to our furrends and to Catster for being such a pawsome part of our lives, and to express our appreciation for all of the love and adoration we receive from our pawrents as well.

We cannot thank you enough dear Catster for featuring our diary entry on four different days! Tattiana received a Daily Diary Pick feature on 12/24. Charm received a DIARY of the DAY on 12/25. Bubby received a Daily Diary Pick on 12/26. And now, Tatti has received a DIARY of the DAY on 12/28!

We are all doing the Happy Cat Dance here and feline so special.

We also want to thank the many furrends who helped us celebrate with paw mails, rosettes, stars, and gifties. The family of Manytoes and Tundra even made special tribute pictures for Charm and Tatti to display on their Catster pages.

We are overwhelmed by all of the special attention and love that our family has been given this Christmas season and throughout the year!

Happy Happy New Year to ALL!
Love,
Tatti, Charm, Bubby
and the rest of the furry herd

Our Christmas Purrs

We have come together as a family to express our felines in this diary entry. Momma is always telling us that we are gifts from Heaven to her and Paw Paw because we bring so much joy, laughter, and love into their hearts. She tells us we are the best Christmas purresents in the world and she gets to unwrap and enjoy the gifts of "us" every single day of the year. Christmas time is special to all of us because it is the day that we celebrate the birth of the baby Jesus, who was God's great gift to mankind (and catkind too) but we also know that we can enjoy that blessed Christmas spirit every single day because we are here together as a family. That is a very special gift, indeed.

We want to send a special and loving thank you to all of our Catster furrends for coming into our lives and warming our hearts with your photos, comments, and rosette prezzies throughout the year.

We are honored and thrilled to have received a whole big box of goodies from our dear Auntie Barbi and her darling family. Aria and Bitta were given lovely holiday dresses from their beloved boy-furrends, Jaspurr and Snowmitts. Bubby received a pawsome striped polo shirt from his beloved Kashmere, who is now watching over him from Heaven. The whole family is enjoying a bag of Friskies Party Mix Milled Grill Crunch treats, a tin of White Meat Chicken Fancy Feast Appetizers, candy canes, darling Christmas sox, a gorgeous Swarovski Elements Angel ornament, wonderful sparkly toy balls, and an adorable Christmas card!

We are so blessed to be loved and adored by our parents and to belong to a wonderful and caring cat community like Catster.

Wishing all of our dear furrends a joyous Christmas and the most pawsome New Year imaginable!

All our love and purrs,
Aria, Bitta, Mikey, Charm, Tattiana, Simon, Bubby, & Katie

My 4th Birthday

Yesterday, I became a 4 year old. In RagaMuffin terms, that is supposed to mean that I am now a fully mature kitty boy. Funny thing is, I don't feel any different than I felt the day before or the day before that. Did I miss something? I still feel like rolling around on the floor, chasing my sister, climbing the cat tree, eating treats, and hanging out with Momma. If all of that is supposed to change now that I'm fully mature, I am going to have to put my paw down. I like myself just the way I am!

I want to send big thank yous out to all of my Catster furrends who helped me celebrate my special day with rosies, gifties, and paw mails. You guys are the BEST! I also want to thank Catster for the extra treats on my page and allowing me to join the Birthday Stroll.

And last but now least... I want to thank my family for loving me and my pawrents for always taking such good care of me. I have all the food, fresh water, toys and treats a kitty boy could ask for. I also have a big kitty family to play with, and lots of birds and squirrels to watch through the windows or the screen door. I guess I have to say that every day is purrty much a Birthday around here.

All my love,
Simon

I'm head over paws in LOVE!

I'm so in love with *TIGER LILY BLOSSOM*!!

I can't wait for her to grow up so I can ask her to be my special girl!

Blinded by love,
Simon

Birthdays and The Bridge

Yesterday we celebrated our beautiful sister, *TATTIANA'S* very furrst birthday! We had such a wonderful day filled with extra playtime, lots of loving, special treats, and new toys! Momma, PawPaw, and Auntie had a lovely chocolate cake made in honor of Tatti's celebration and they enjoyed that with coffee while we all gathered around and hung out for some togetherness time.

Unfortunately yesterday ended on a very sad note when Momma when to her computer and found out that our dear, dear furrend, *ARYEH* went to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. Aryeh's Meowmy has been helping him fight liver disease for a long time but it appears that our beautiful furrend may have succumbed to a blood clot(stroke). We are so sad to have lost this beautiful, brave, and wonderful furrend at such a young age. Fly free, Aryeh. We will love you furrever!

We have a new little sister!

We have some very exciting mews, every buddy!

Momma and PawPaw have adopted a new little sister into our family! Pawleeze join us in welcoming *TATTIANA* into our lives, our hearts, our family, and to Catster!

"Tatti", pronounced "Tah-Tee" is an adorable little girl and we all love her already. She stole all of hearts and we aren't even going to ask her to give them back. I heard PawPaw telling Momma that Tattiana is definitely the last kitty we can bring into our family. Momma said, that was fine because she wants to make sure she can give each one of us all of the love and attention we deserve.

We are the purr-fect family and we are very blessed.

All meow purrs,
Simon
