Wanting mama

As I'm getting older, I find myself running to mama fur a nice cuddle or hug more. I guess it's part of getting old....I always wanted it befur, but not as much. Now I just come up to mama insisting on a hug or snug. (Not the blanket! LOL)

Do any of you find yourselves just wanting to be with your mom or dad more as you get older?

Missed my gotcha day and tank you

Wow, mama furgot to check my paw mail...HISSSS mama! She was on vacation and I guess her brain took a vacation too, cuz she didn't look to see if I got anything fur my Gotcha Day. She knew it was sometime last week but now she says she couldn't remember when. HUH? It's right on my page, how could she furget?

Well anyway...now mama has seen and read all your rosettes & paw mails & stuff and showed em to me, and I just wanna say TANK YOU FUR REMEMBERING. You are all furry special to us!

wuv & purrs, Miss Greta

just bein' lazy

Well hello efuryone!

I haven't had anything much to talk about so that is why no diary entries fur a few days. The only thing I've been doing is laying around, avoiding being chased by Daniel, and enjoying mama's company when she's home.

Tuesday was my brofur Daniel's Gotchaversary, and mama wasn't feeling good so she stayed home. We all laid near mama in her bedroom....Daniel on one side of the bed, Solomon on anofur, and me in a spot next to the bed where mama put some of her clothes.
I'm getting so I sleep next to mama sometimes. I lay in a little ball next to her pillow, and I just love being with her. Sometimes in the night I'll come in teh bedroom, even tho I know Daniel is there, just so I can be with mama.

I have also been fussing about eating. Being an older kitty I am getting more set in my ways and not as willing to some flavors of canned cat food. Mama makes sure I eat tho because if I don't, my brofurs will try to eat up my portions. They get plenty already. Sometimes mama hand feeds me too. I actually don't mind that too much, I kinda like it. Oh and sometimes she'll give me some human food! I like real turkey and chicken. Yum! Mama made chili with lean ground turkey but I don't know if I'd want that turkey....hmmm....

Well I need to go find a place to sleep. I never sleep in the same place. MOL

tankfulness from me

Hi efuryone :)

I wanted to tank efuryone fur my gifts, notes, rosettes, and well wishes regarding my DDP! I am truly tankful fur you, and the staff at Catster! Without you I would not have anyone else to talk to or share my tales (tails? MOL) or questions with.

Mama got me a special gift in honor of my DDP - a nice baby pink fleece throw! I've already slept on it so it's been christened, MOL.

Since today is Tanksgiving, I wanted to also share that I am tankful fur my mama, who adopted me & my late brofur over 11 years ago when we were just little babies! Mama says we were 5 weeks old when we arrived. I don't remember my kittenhood that much but mama and I bonded instantly the moment she saw and then held me.

I am also tankful fur mama's apartment. It's got lots of places to hide and play, and since I'm black I can hide even easier in the dark. MOL

I am tankful too fur my siblings (I can't believe I just said that) as long as they leave me alone. In that case, I'm tankful I still have my claws! MOL!

I'm tankful fur many ofur things but one thing mama reminded me all us kitties here and mama too are thankful for is JESUS, who came to save us. His life, death and resurrection made it possible fur us - kitties and humans - to experience freedom and life in Christ. Mama is a Christian lady and we kitties are Christians too. We give tanks to God fur Him, His Son, and His Holy Spirit.

That's all fur now, enjoy your Tanksgiving!

Hey, I'm DDP again! Woohoo!

Hi efuryone!

I'm DDP again and what an honor it is. It also gives me a chance to catch you up on the latest goings on with me and my furiend Jodi.

About Miss Jodi - she's got her shots now and mostly stays inside. She's getting to be a big girl. She's becoming a lap cat.

They took her to the vet last week cuz her nose was running clear discharge. The vet gave her antibiotics....and that is all I know about her. I will see if I can get an update.

About me - mama got some rotisserie turkey breast this Saturday so she could start enjoying turkey now before Tanksgiving, and also, she said, in case they ran out before then. Sunday, Monday & Tuesday mama's had turkey along with gravy & stuffing. I decided to try turkey, and I like it! Solomon was offered some too but he didn't like it. Daniel has not tried it yet.

Mama has to work the days before and after Tanksgiving. :( So we will enjoy her on that day anyway.

update on Lily and a PICCIE!

I got anofur update yesterday from Lily (formerly Jodi) and her pawrents. She went to the vet fur a checkup and shots. She is MUCH IMPROVED from last time. Purraise the Lord! She's getting filled out, and just loves her new home. There's a woodpile in her yard so she can go and play ofur there. She only goes outside fur short periods of time then comes back in (on her own). She just WUVs attention and is becoming a real lap kitty!

Way to go Lily!

Here's a pic of her:

update on me and Jodi

Hi there,

I is sorry fur not posting last week. Mama was visiting Gamma's house as you know, and Gamma only has dial-up internet which is furry slow. :(

ANYWAY...Jodi now has a permanent furever home! She's been renamed "Lily" and lives with Gamma's furiend's son & daughter in law. They live a few minutes from him and fell in wuv with her. We've been told Lily is now a lap cat and only goes out occasionally, but purfers staying inside where it's nice and warm. (Good idea Lily!) Her sniffling is better too.

We'd hoped to get some pictures of Lily, but her new owners picked her up befur mama could do so. Darn. Oh well, at least she has a family and a warm home where she is loved!

Now some news about me. I liked going to Gamma's....I got to pick on her kitties once...and chased them. I don't want ANY kitties or humans except mama bothering me when I'm busy checking out anofur place. I stayed in Gamma's den last week and got to roam around her house a bit, which I liked. I came home this past Sunday and I must admit, there really is no place like HOME. Now I can go back to laying at mama's feet and dictating to her from there. MOL

I need to go sniff mama's shoes now. Bye :)

anofur update on my new furiend Jodi AND more tanks

First I thought I should give a small update on my furiend Jodi. We learned that this poor kitty originally was at anofur person's home fur a week, and that human NEFUR fed her! That is so cruel. How can someone do that??? Jodi's (hopefully?) dad (Gamma's friend) says "I can't eat a full meal knowing that an animal is starving outside my door." Well put and we agree! We figure eventually Jodi moved on and found a caring human in Gamma's friend.

Jodi has since learned to hunt and stays outside a while, but she has also come in her home to eat and sleep. We don't know yet if she knows how to use a litterbox.

And now there is talk that Jodi may be staying at Gamma's house during the winter. Jodi's dad won't admit he loves the kitty but we think he does.

Lots of twists and turns in the road of Jodi's life, and we are purring that the road eventually straightens out fur her. Regardless of what happens, my furiend Jodi WILL have a home with someone!

Second, I wanted to tank ALL OF YOU who have been so super-sweet to me during my day as DDP! I wuv you all fur it!!!

Miss Greta
