Under the weather

Went to the vet once again but they still don't know what is wrong with me :(


I have been constipated and vomiting yet the x-rays don't show blockage (just full intestines) and my kidneys are remaining stable with their values. Mom is at her wits end because I don't want to eat all the time and have overall been feeling pretty crummy.

For now I am on a laxative and on moistened food. Wish me well, this has been an on again and off again issue for several months now and everyone is stumped.

Purrs,
Emmett

10 years old today!

It was my birthday/gotcha day today and to celebrate I got canned Wellness seafood variety for dinner and some freeze dried Salmon. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love that salmon! Anyway, it was 9-3-04 when I was adopted and this has been my home for 5 years now. Call me one of the lucky ones. Wishing all my Catster pals the very best.

Purrs,
Emmett

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!

OK, Emmett is in the house and causing a stir!

It is not easy being the only cat in a house of dogs, but I manage and along the way may have learned a few things. The first thing I learned is the art of thievery. I am becoming proficient at this fine art and whenever possible I try to blame it on the dogs (the wrench in that whole theory is that the dogs seldom steal). Well, I'm working on the blaming part but it seems I usually get busted (like the time I stole the lemon bars and knocked the dish onto the floor that left it in a million pieces). No dogs to blame that time since they were all in bed for the night. OK, so I just need to work on NOT being the first one blamed . Bwaahahhahaaaha

Anyway, another thing I learned was that if I cause great bodily harm to the humans they will decided that giving me a BATH is not worth the effort at all. I have done GREAT in this category. It is amazing what torn clothes and claw marks can do to the fragile human psyche. One for Emmett! I have practically mastered that one.

Finally, the weather is warmer and I find that if the humans are busy cooking on the grill and have their hands full, it is the perfect time to run out and eat some grass. I will get picked up and placed immediately back in the house, but usually I get just enough grass to sufficiently throw it up in the least convenient spot.

So there you have it. Mischief managed!

Happy New Year Catster

I can't believe it is already 2009. Where does time go? Yesterday was so exciting being chosen as the Catster Diary of the Day! It was the purrfect way to end the year. Thanks for the great honor and thank you all for the pressies, concatulations, and all the pal requests. As I was enjoying the limelight, mom worked hard at creating a page for our beloved angel kitty Kammie. If you haven't had a chance, pawlease check it out and send her a friend request. I know she'd love it.

Have a healthy, happy, and blessed New Year!

OMC, I'm the Diary of the Day!

Nothing exciting like this ever happens to me, but today I'm the Catster Diary of the day! Typically this is the canine house and all the cool stuff happens to the dogs, but today is my day. I'm purring like crazy over here. I still can't believe that I'm on the front page. I got a really cool letter from Catster and I already have new furiend requests! I love new furiends! Thanks Catster, you have made me one happy cat. I'm thinking with this great honor I'll even get some of those pawsome freeze dried salmon treats that mom has deeply hidden in the cabinets because I keep trying to chew through the packaging every time they are out. MOL

Happy New Year's Eve Catster!

Purrs of gratitude,
Emmett

Updated my page

I'm gearing up for change and sprucing up my page to welcome in 2009. Feel free to drop me a pawmail and tell me what you think. Mom thinks it truly represents me, whatever that means.

BTW - I've been pretty naughty lately. I've been quite the little thief and the pawrents are having to lock all food away in cabinets. The other day I found a brand new bag of dog food and chewed a hole right through it and started eating it. I got caught, too. :(

Oh well, it was certainly fun while it lasted.

Have a healthy and wonderful New Year!

Emmett

It's true, I'm a sourpuss!

I was busted yet again stealing lemon goodies off of the counter. Last time it was the delicious lemon bars (unfortunately I batted the tray onto the floor and it shattered glass everywhere!) and this time it was the lemon poppy seed muffins. Mmmmmmm, they are just so good that I licked the top off of one of the muffins. Now they are calling me a sourpuss. So there you have it, I'm guilty as charged.

I'm free and much better

Actually I was freed several days ago, but I'm just slow to update my diary.... MOL! I am feeling so much better and not really limping at all anymore. I think I'm about 90% back to normal. I just needed a little TLC and rest. I didn't really like being crated but I needed the rest and now I'm just glad to be out and feeling better. Hope all my furiends are well.

Jail Time!

Busted! My first entry and it's from jail. Friday night I accidentally knocked over a dish from the counter and sent is crashing very loudly to the floor. It startled me so I flew off the counter and landed the wrong way on my paw. Mom noticed me limping but since I didn't react to having it looked at, was bearing some weight on it, and since it wasn't swollen she decided to give it a few days to see if it would get better on it's own. Monday I was still limping so I had to go to the vet (did I mention I hate the vet's office?). The vet said it was a mild sprain and should heal on it's own. I got a few days of medications and was told I have to stop using the paw if it is to heal. Cage rest, can you believe it! I'm now inmate Emmett. Thankfully he only thinks I'll need a few days of cage rest and then watched for a week or so after that so I don't keep jumping on and off the furniture.

So that is my tale for today! Wish me luck so that I can serve my sentence and quickly be released.
