Even More Birthday Fun

Today just happens to be the most special day of the entire year. On this day, exactly 4 years ago, I was born. Personally, I think today should be a national holiday. Something along the lines of Princess Minnie Day would be nice. But for now, I'm content with having everyone who crosses my path bow down before me and acknowledge my perfection. Well, everyone does that anyway, but today it's even more pronounced. I get petted more often, and I could get away with murder if I wanted to. Even my bully of a big brother Merlin hasn't messed with me today. Life is wonderful when you're as amazing as me.

Birthday Fun

Hello all! Today is my big brother Merlin's 5th birthday! I'm kind of jealous, actually. He's getting all kinds of attention, just because it's his birthday. I mean, what's the big deal? Sure, you don't turn 5 every day. But he's acting like he's some big man, strutting around, kicking me out of all my sleeping spots. He does that everyday anyway, but he's acting extra cocky. You won't catch ME acting like that on MY birthday. Which, by the way, is in exactly one month. Everyone mark your calendars!

Meows and kisses,
Princess Minnie

Bonne Pacques

Hoppy Easter everyone! I hope the Easter bunny brought everybody lots of yummy cat treats and toys! I didn't get anything because Mommy doesn't have a lot of extra money this year. I understand though. I don't care about that, as long as I get plenty of attention! First thing this morning, Mommy put on my prettiest collar-- pink with little pink rosettes on it. I think I look pretty darn good. I've been in front of the mirror all day, admiring my reflection. I was really happy, until I saw what my doggy sister got to wear-- a frilly pink dress. Not fair! Just because last time Mommy put clothes on me I scratched her, now I don't get to wear any at all! She thought I scratched her because I didn't like wearing a dress, but it was really because I didn't want her to take it off.

Other than that, it's been a good Easter so far. Daddy called last night to say "Bonne Pacques" to everyone. He says it that way because he was raised in Paris. I'm so jealous! What I want more than anything is to go to Paris and show those cats what fashion is REALLY about. Alas! C'est la vie. Maybe someday I will live out my dream.

Weekend Happenings

Man, what a crazy weekend! It seems like in this house, either nothing at all is happening, or everything happens all at once. First off, today is my Grammy's birthday. Mommy told me I have to pay attention to her today, but I don't work that way. If people want my attention, they have to come to ME! Then, my Mommy received a very upsetting phone call. It seems that a friend of hers is very sick, with something called a brain tumor. I don't know what that is, but it must be very serious, because Mommy has been very quiet since that happened. I've tried sitting on her lap and purring, but I don't know if it helped. Sometimes I wish I could talk, so I could tell her not to worry. But all I can do is make my little squeaks, and hope that helps. ::SQUEAK::

Sad News

We just got some sad news today. Dame Maggie Smith, who plays my namesake (Professor Minerva McGonnagall) in the Harry Potter films, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Our thoughts and kitty prayers are with her and her family. My Mommy has a message to all the ladies out there-- monthly self-breast exams are a must! Breast cancer is one of the most easily treatable cancers out there, as long as it's caught early.
