Surprises

What a surprise I am DDP today. I did not expect to be picked as I have not written in my diary for a week, However, I am very honored to be picked. Mom is trying to keep up my dairy with me, but sometimes we forget I thank everyone for their nice comments and zealies. Thanks all

I had another surprise which happened yesterday. I had a cat bath. Yes, my mom thought it would be a good idea to bath me.
I really do not understand why after 12 years of bathing myself.I wonder if I am not doing a good job. Anyway I had a bath which was surprisingly nice. I did enjoy the water coming over. It was a hot day so the water felt nice. To bad I did not know water was not so bad sooner. Maybe if I had know I could have been a water cat. Anyway after the I looked fluffy and smelled real good. I wonder when my next bath will be.

enjoying the sun

Well, it has finally stopped raining. It has been a rainy spring here in California. We are not use to getting much rain pass May, but this year we got a lot of rain. There were even some tornado's touch down. Fortunately they did not do much damage. We also had hail, thunder, and lightening. During this time I was not a happy cat as it would stay cloudy for days at a time. Momma says she thinks I suffer from weather related depression. I get so sad I just sit in my chair and look sad. Now the sun has come out and I am in the window. Sitting in the sun and sunning myself. I am such a happy cat. I am even so happy I do not care that Nikita has stolen the big chair again. I know sit next to mom on the couch. Live is good.

Chicken

Well, I have been missing having turkey for a treat. I have begged and begged. Mom keeps saying it is all gone, but how could such a big bird be gone. If it really is gone, then humans must eat a lot. Anyway, mom decided to bake Nikita, Abbey and me some chicken to help us get over not having turkey.
I at first did not trust her that this would work. However, after it went into the oven, and I smelled I began to change my mind. It really smelled good. When it came out of the oven and cooled mom gave me a small piece. Yes, it was good, but it was no turkey. I ate my piece, but decided I really did not want more than a few bits. It just was not turkey. Nikita ate her's, and of course Abbey at her chicken. Abbey at a lot of chicken and it gave her upset stomach and she had to go outside a lot in the morning. I guess that is what she gets for eatting so much. Mom said it must be because she has developed allergy to it or somethink like that. However, I believe it is cause she made a pig of herself. Nikita and I were not affected and will always eat just a few piece of chicken, but a lot of turkey

changing cat

Who would have thought this could possible happen especially to me. I have started to like Turkey. Yep, I am now a real turkey chow cat. It started on Thanksgiving day of this year. I was taking my regular meditation when all of the sudden I smelled something very tasty. I followed my nose out to the kitchen near the oven. I could smell it and asked for some. However, mom did not understand what I wanted and gave me a snack. I forgave her as she did not think I would like turkey. I stayed near by and waited and waited. Then the turkey came out of the oven and my mom gave me some. To her surprise I ate it and wanted more. The tast was so good, I became addicted and wanted more. I had several helpings, and later on asked for more. I even had some for a snack before bed. In the morning I asked for some turkey, and got some. I even stole turkey from the dog. Boy, did I make up for all the years I hated turkey. Then it came to an end. One morning mom got up and there was no turkey it was gone. Not a morsely left. Man, I was disappointed. However, I soon got over the turkey and went back to my old treats. I now know I like turkey and can hardly wait until Thanksgiving again. Hey, maybe mom will start eatting turkey everyday then I would be a happy cat. Well, a cat can dream.

It is my birthday

Well I am 12 today, and sure do not feel like I am one year older. I am looking forward to being 12, as I never been before so it will be adventure. I am sure glad my family came home for my birthday. I got some very tasty treats which of course I had to share with Nikita. Tonight my momma is going to give me some special cat food for my birthday dinner. I am looking forward to that. There is nothing like having a good birthday dinner. Then you know the year is going to start off right. Since it is my birthday I think I can get by with hitting my dog sister Abbey. Momma can not get mad at on my birthday. I think it is against the law to get mad at your cat on their birthday. Maybe later today I hit Abbey accross the nose just for old time sake. Well, I am going to go sit in the window for awhile, and see what is happening Maybe some neighborhood cats will come by to say happy birthday

scared to death

Today is that day all most of us animal dread. It has been building for days. Last night there were so many fireworks going of for a minute I thought it was the 4th of July. However, tonight it is only going to get worse, and I am prepared. I ate a good breakfast, dinner and had plenty of snacks. I tried out various hiding places, and I think I found a good one. It is in the living room so I am close to mom, just incase anything happens, and I can not hear to much of the fireworks or so I think. Well, I guess I will go sit behind the chair and hold on until tomorrow.

4TH OF JULY AND WORRYING

HI let me wish all my friends a Happy 4th of July. It is a nosey time of year. It is hot weather. I do not like the heat!!! I am also hot under the collar with all the shanagans going on in Congress and here in California. The U.S congress will not give the poor unemployed people more benefits to live. what are they going to do? What is going to happen to their pets? Here in California the economy is bad and are dumb governor in my view is making the state workers get minium wage at federal wages of 7.25 not 8.00 beause of no budget. What are the people to do. I am very worried about their pets. I have alot of cat friends whose humans are stateworkers. Lucy is very worried about them. I hope they do not go hungry or stray or end up in a shelter. Why do humans have to be so mean and not look out for each other. If I was a politian I would make sure everyone who wanted to work would have a very good paying job so they could take of themselve and their furry friends. I would also make it a law that all animals had to be spayed until there were no more homeless pets. Thats Lucys view of the world. Well now I have to go and get a few shut eyes to catch up. I have notbeen able to sleep as I have been worrying about the people in the world and the 4th of July. I will be busy taking care of Nikita and the dog - Abbey. PLEASE EVERYONE KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR PETS THIS 4TH OF JULY AND KEEP THEM SAFE AND SANE!!!!
PEACE OUT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER AND PRESIDENT OBAMA

hot weather-- and being a Nurse

hello all. Boy is it Hot! I hate hot weather. I like cool weather. May was a very good month for me becaus eit did not get hot. June was an election month for us Californians, I love politics, and all my candidates won the primaries and my props went the way I wanted. I have been very lucky I have not had any asthma problems in the past month, and I am very happy about that. I ahve been very busy taking care of little Nikita these last 3 months. It seems that everytime I turn around she has some new illness. In april she had her teeth pulled and cleaned, as she has teeth problems- So I had to take care of her for that. Then in May she had asthma every single day it seemed like and of course I had to help her through her asthma trials. Now in June she has stomach problems and now I am taking care of her for that issue. July 4th is coming up and I am sure I will have to take care of both her and Abbey dog the night of fireworks as both of them are scardy cats and dogs of loud noices and I am not! Well something terrible happened in May- that big oil spill. I am very upset about it. I do not know how that stupid oil company could get by with hurting the ocean and killing all those animals and humans. if it was up to me I would have them hog tied and thrown in the jail. I also feel sorry for all those miners who lost their lives in april and those people should go prision for 10 years for everyone person that was killed, plus additional 5 years if they owned a cat and 3 years for a dog. I am really tired of people, pres and republican picking on Preisident Obama- I love the guy- give him a break- they did Bush.

Today

What is going on with the weather. It is spring and we are not suppose to having winter weather. It was a nice weekend, but then Monday it started to cloud up and by the evening it was cold. Then today it was started to rain, and boy did it rain and rain. We even had thunder and lightening. Just a few minutes ago little white ice balls white were falling from the sky. Mom said it was hail, and we got a lot of hail.
It is going to be like this for a few more day, then spring will return. The weather people say it will rain again next Tuesday, but who knows. All I can say is this is very strange weather. I have to agree with Al Gore and it is global warming which iscausing the air currents to act nutty, and bring strange weather to us. Well,let hope spring comes back soon.

PURRING

Ido not understand purring. I have never ever purred in my whole life, and I do not want to. I think it is an awful noise. My fur sister Sophie always purred, and I would move away from that noise, and just stare at her. When Sophie died I thought I would never have to deal with that noise again, but I was wrong. Nikita purrs a lot too, and I still do not like the noise. I think it is very weird. Mom thinks you learn to purr from your mom, and my mom did not purr. I am so glad my mom was to smart to purr as I do not want to be one of those purring fools
