Peeing everywhere!!!

We've been confined to a room. We've been going to the bathroom in places other than the litterbox. Mom and Sis put us in crates for awhile but as soon as we were let go we went peeing again.

To give Mom credit she's fixed it up with a cat tree and other cat toys.

Mocha, Chessie, Yeti, Casanova, Tasso are all in the room. Yeti is spraying, we don't know how to fix that. He was "fixed" when he was a kitten.

Tasso is back

I got up early this morning before sunrise and Tasso was on the porch. I think I'm going to make him a water bed by filling up a beachball partway with water then putting some bedding over it. It does get hot out there even though it is covered. I have to fix all the broken spots in the netting too. It was the dogs trying to get on the porch from the back yard. I don't know who I get more exasperated with more... the cats making holes in my screens or the dogs tearing up the deer netting on the porch.

Tasso's collar is gone so I'm going to get him another one. It was such a pretty golden one too. Casanova still has his, go figure.

I'm about ready to buy cat collars for all the cats even if they don't go outdoors because, like just recently, you never know.

I haven't seen Tasso.

Tasso isn't on the porch and hasn't been for about a week. I did spot him under the neighbor's concrete porch. I guess he went there because it is dark and cool.

I hope he hasn't gone there to pass to the rainbow bridge. Tasso has a heart condition but I've never seen outward signs. His food keeps disappearing but we don't know if it is him, a stray or raccoons.

I put catnip on his beds outside and have been leaving the porch door open.

Tasso wears a collar with an ID tag but if he is alive and well no one will be able to get close to him so I guess that should make me feel better.

Last summer I shaved him down but it got really hot early so I didn't get a chance to do it. I've also thought about getting him a waterbed because they always stay cool.

I hope he shows back up. He never goes far from home.

Our Special Guests

We all have special guests in our home. Mom brought home a Kitty Mama and her five kittens on May 14th. We get to foster these kittens until they are old enough to be put up for adoption. Mom is really excited since she hasn't had a Momcat and her kittens since last years litter of 7. Mom says they became a real handful running about and doing kitten stuff. Mom gets to name these kittens but she says she won't name them until they are bigger and their personalities show. Mom thinks she is going to make a catster page just for them so she can share all the fun stuff.

Mom cat is really nice and doesn't mind anyone coming in to give her a hand with the kittens. They are in the closet of the spare bedroom right now but in a week or so Mom with let Mom cat out for a break. She snuck out once and mom found her in the living room with the dogs like she owned the place so she isn't worried about Mom and the rest of the family. Chessie can't wait until he can help mother the kittens. Mom will probably let him in to see Mom and kittens before everyone else.

Our new pawsome page and the IE bug

If you use Internet Explorer and have stopped by our pages only to not be able to see any thing give Gypsy's diary a read. IE had a bug which kept it from seeing the same thing as Mom saw in Firefox.

Mom says sorry, she should have been checking IE. She knows better than to assume it reads CSS correctly.

I was invited to a very cool group.

The groups is Olde furts I guess that means I've become a senior kitty. I don't really feel any different than I did last year though.

I'm glad to be a member and if you have a olde furt in your family maybe you can take a look at the group.

A big thank you to Ginnger and Kitty for my pawriffic gifts.

Our new pawsome page.

Whewww... Mom finally got done changing all our profiles. She customized each one for our personality or name.

Gypsy got puppies because she is so motherly.

Duke got food because he really really loves it.

Jojo got flowers because Jojo's Mom liked the background (thanks Lucy).

Poker got Frank Sinatra because he has blue eyes and is so handsome.

Tasso got little kitty Maine Coons because Mom couldn't think of something really timid (she didn't think it would be too flattering)

Boo got a "Does not play well with others" design because she doesn't.

Chessie got the king of hearts because he is just a lover boy and is the king of love.

Loki got a big ole tom cat because he thinks he is tough.

Mocha got a luscious cup of Mocha with a heart.

Sammy has a doctored up picture of Fabio (a must see, it is hilarious).

Casanova has Heath Ledger as Casanova. So sad.

Autumn Ann has lovely autumn leaves against a blue sky

Yeti has a goofy looking yeti.

Mercedes got diamonds since she is so regal.

Smoky's stayed the same since his is our little Rainbow Bridge kitten.

I hope everyone likes the new pages and will comment in our message box. Mom either made or modified all our backgrounds and made them tiling so you can't see a seam. Let's all give a hurrah for Mom for doing all the work for us.

*Mom placed this message in all our diary's.

April Fools Worm Emerges

I just heard on Global News that there is a very sophisticated "worm" that will be hazardous to your pets on April 1st. Apparently it latches on to unreliable websites the flows thorough your computer cables to piles in the back yard.

"As long as you've patched or at least brought your antivirus software up to speed, you should be fine," said Chris Pirillo, a tech expert for CNN.com.

And there are plenty of dewormers available.

"I believe just about everybody out there," Pirillo said, "has a removal tool."

Still, the worm could cause problems, he said.

Ahhh Spring

Mom put me back on the porch. I'm so glad I love the porch and I don't hide. Mom can come out and give me loving. Mom tries really hard to make me happy.

Ah, back where I like to be

Mom brought me in when it was cold but I just hid and Mom never saw me. Mom put me back out on the enclosed porch and now Mom can see me every day and make sure I'm okay. I'm such a shy and scared kitty.

I spent my time inside in the cat room under the bed (yeah, there is a bed in the cat room). I did come out at night but when Mom woke up she'd only see a flash of fur as I ducked back under the bed. Sometimes Mom worries about me.
