I Have A New Nickname


July 18th 2008 6:21 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

I now have a new nickname. My fureind Daisy Mae Sunday Times and I were talking one day about Siamese kitties. Actually, (((( puffs himself up )))) she was telling me how handsome I am!!!!!!

I told her that when I was younger mommie had thought I was going to look more like a Siamese. Well, it seems that Daisy Mae is an expert on the Siamese breed and she told me about all the different kinds there are.

Then she told me I looked like a Blue Point Apple Head Siamese. Mommie took a good look at me and sure enough, I DO have an apple head!

Yep, you guessed it....... My new nickname is now Apple Head. I'm not sure that I like it. I mean it's kind of "cutesie" ((( puffs himself up again ))) and I'm not one to go for cute. But since she feeds me, cleans my litter box and gives me treats I guess I'll put up with it. Besides I luvs her so much.

Headbutts,
Tao

Apparently I Am A Pill!


July 11th 2008 6:55 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Well, we made it here in one piece! Mommie says I was a pill the entire way......... How can that be? I thought a pill was a little round ting that homans force open your mouth and stick down your throat.
I'm NOT round (that's my sisfur Prissy) and I don't tink I'd fit down any kitties throat! Mommie must be loosing it again.......

The trip was longgggggg and I was in a carrier wiff Teddy. If he so much as looked at me I would hiss, growel and attack him. When we got here mommie let us out and I ran fur the kitchen. I jumped up on the window and wouldn't let anyfur even peek around the corner! Only mommie was allowed in. I stayed there fur 24 hrs. making sure everyfur knew this was MY kitchen.

Mommie went to her interview ( she got the job) and then went to Wal Mart. When she came back and opened the door I was in the huge claw foot tub. I peeked my little head up to see who it was and mommie strated laughing at me! Imagine......... I stayed there fur a few more hours and then decided that maybe I'd better check out the new digs. I'm OK now.

I really like it here! The first two days were GREAT!!!!! There was sooo much room to run around and run I did! Then these men came wiff the furniture and ALL these boxes. They put them out on the porch and now I can't see out the windows! Harley and I have been helping mommie go thru them so that the job will go quicker.......... It's a VERY exhausting job!

Everyone here in the building is really nice and it seems they ALL have kitties! Yesterday one of the neighbors brought over his kitten that he got furom the place mommie's gonna work. She was cute and all but she didn't seem to like us. Oh well maybe next time she'll be in a better mood.

Prissy and Teddy have found their favorite spots but I haven't yet. I'm gonna wait til everyting gets put away and then I'll see where I decide to land.

Well, I gotta go get started on those boxes again.........

Wild As Ever,
Tao

We're Moving, We're Moving ((((( Happy Dancing)))))


July 3rd 2008 9:11 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

YES, we are moving! Oh be still my little kittie heart! No more room.... but unfortunately no more dumb squirrel either! That's OK we are going to a place where I can run like the CRAZY man that I am! Run,run,run Tao run!

Mommie also said she was gonna put our bird feeder back up in the window. That thing is sooooo kool. It's what they call concave, whatever that is.... I just know it comes into the room and the birdies can't see that you're right on top of them! Mommie tinks I'm gonna be upset wiffout my TV box fur a week or so but if she puts that thing up, I won't even notice.

So, Eustis FL here I come! BETTER LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!

Headbutts & Excited Purrrrrs,

I Am NOT Happy........


June 19th 2008 3:29 pm   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

MAN, I AM HOPPIN' MAD!

Mommie went and got one of Prissy and Harley's sisfurs furom their former daddies house. Their former daddie is having open heart surgery today and the hairless sisfur called last night and said there was sumpthin' wrong wiff this cat.

YEAH, THERE'S SUMPTHIN' WRONG WIFF HER........

She's down right MEAN!!!!!!!!!!

Mommie set up a cage right outside our big window so she could see her. She feed her and she ate like she hadn't eaten in 14 days.......After she was done mommie said that there was nothing wrong wiff her. That her brofur probably wasn't letting her eat and the hairless sisfur wasn't paying attention to that.

Then mommie told us she was gonna bring her into the room cuz she needed to cut her nails. Besides, we all felt she needed some company.
So, in she comes.......While mommie was cuting her nails, Prissy(who used to live wiff her) came over to say "hi." Tori (that's the MEAN ones name) hissed and spat at her so Prissy decided to split.

As mommie was holding and luvin'on THE MEAN ONE, Harley (who also used to live wiff her) came gently over mommies shoulder to put in his "hello"

WELL.........!!!!!!!!!!

I NEVER.........!!!!!!!!!

This THING made the meanest sound I've ever heard (you have to understand, she is 3 years old and weighs 3 lbs, she's an Egyptian Mao) clawed mommie all over her stomache, arm and face and ATTACKED Harley!!!!!!!!

Well, that was it. THE MEAN ONE went back outside to her cage!

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

This upset me so greatly that I will not let my sisfur or brofurs near me and I refuse to eat.

I'M ON A HUNGER STRIKE UNTIL SHE'S OUTTA HERE!

SHE NEEDS AN ATTITUDE AJUSTMENT!!!!!!!!!

Am I comin' across clear enough mommie? I WANT HER GONE!

Okay mommie, I'll calm down.......You say she's going back tonight? Phew!

This has been one adventure I could have done without..........

Mommies Application


June 9th 2008 11:08 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Mommie sent out an application today to the Orlando Humane Society. She really doesn't want to go back to Florida but she has to leave Georgia (she's lived here for 14 years) for awhile for personal reasons.

Mommie has always loved working with animals, especially cats, and her job at the Humane Society was a dream come true! Except for when she worked with the BIG cats.

She has a God given talent and is wasting it here where there is no other job in the field for her.

I hope she gets the job. Not only for her sake but for ours. Mommie is sad all the time that we're cooped up in this single room day in and day out. We don't mind as much as she thinks (except for Teddy).

I would like more room to run and get into trouble and my sisfur would like to have a place to be able to go and hide from us boys!
Harley would like some sunshine and Teddy would just plain like to not have to be closed up behind a door!

So, purrrrrrrease keep your paws crossed that mommie gets an interview and gets the job.

Set The Captives Free!


May 29th 2008 6:44 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Mommy was going thru some boxes this morning to find something she wanted to send to Simba's mommy. She came across this and thought I might like to put it in my diary since I thought it was pretty funny.....Here goes....

Excerpts from a cat's diary:

Dat 683 of my captivity

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dreams of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor.

Today I decaptitated a mouse and dropped it's headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condiescending comments about what a "good little hunter " I am. The audacity!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitairy confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my captors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow~but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives specila privilages. He is regularly released ~ and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded!

The bird has got to be the informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.....for now.....

Hope ya'll enjoyed it as much as I did. I especially liked the part about vomiting on the floor and trying to assassinate him at the top of the stairs!

Gotta run. Mommy needs to get ready for work and she is my typist. I've tried to do it myself but all I seem to get is njdwkdwjf;sce3ufjp!

Have a purrific day!

What's In That Box?


May 27th 2008 7:16 am   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Today I watched TV for awhile. Mommy was watching some pawgram that had graphics on it. All these kool shapes would pop up on the screen and float around! Then, all of a sudden, there they were.......RIBBONS!!!!!!!!

I tried to play with them but something was in the way. I just couldn't get at 'em. Then, as quickly as they had appeared, they went away.

I sat and waited for them to come back but they never did. Where'd they go anyway?

Someday I'm gonna figure out how to get into that box cuz it's FULL of good stuff!!!!!

Trouble, Trouble, Boil & Bubble!


May 19th 2008 8:05 pm   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Once again, mommy had to take away another great "toy" from our room. Boy, if she keeps this up there won't be anything good left in here!

I found a way to get into the box that she keeps the great plastic grocery bags in. Those are bags that she brings home when she goes to get us our hungeries and litter.

She uses 'em when she cleans our litter boxes. Sometimes she uses 'em to put stuff into when she wants to carry something out of the house. Now why would she want to do that? Doesn't she know that AYTHING in here is a pawtencial toy?

Anyway, I found a way to get into the box. I hit pay dirt! I was dragin' 'em out one by one, running around with 'em, pouncing on 'em (they make an awesome sound when you do that), sliding on 'em and making holes in 'em. Apparently the making of the holes was not good. She said sumpthin 'bout litter falling out the holes. Who cares....I was having a ball!

As usual, Teddy got in on it, so did Harley. But it was me that was smart enough to find a way into the box. I'm good at that sort of thing!!!!!!!!

Hideouts


May 13th 2008 12:58 pm   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

Today mommy had to take the big plastic bag, with all of her winter clothes in it, out of the room.

I got to playing with it cuz I love bags! I made BIG holes in the bag and then I discovered that if I got into it, I could lay in there.

It was nice and soft and man was it THE BEST hiding place! Nobody knew I was there!

Mommy said I was leaving my hair {I'm shedding, guess that's all the hair that keeps coming off of my body} all over her clean colthes. Personally, I think she was worried I'd get my sharp little teeth into them! Know what? If I'd had more time I would've!!!!!!!

My Tail of Devotion for Tao


May 9th 2008 12:44 pm   [link to this entry]


Tao:
My wild child!!!!!I love you soooo much. You are the personality of the awesome foursome. You can always find something to get into but it is impossible to get mad at you. You're always so proud of what you've done and you have so much fun doing it......Who would have thought the cute little ball of fuzzy fur that I brought home would turn into such a terror. You have definately earned the title of Imperor! You make me laugh all the time and that is so good for my soul.

I love you honey bunny.

Mommy

My Best Work


May 8th 2008 7:51 pm   [link to this entry]

Dear Diary:

I love when mommy goes to work. That's when I do MY best work! First I start with the trash can. After I'm finished with scavenging thru that, I make my way over to the waste paper basket. Sometimes I can find some good stuff in there, sometimes not.....When I get bored with that, the paper towel roll on the counter is always fun to play with! If she's still not home, there's all the wires I can try to unplug or I can always hang from the curtain rod.

Teddy likes to join in on the fun with me but he's got something new that's caught his attention. He goes up on the night stand and tries to open the door knob. That doesn't interest me though cuz I know it's a waste of time. Believe me, if I thought we could open it, I'd be right there with him. Could you imagine what's on the other side of that door that we could get into!
