"A Tigger's Tail"

Ut Oh, Sisser is in BIG trouble

Mom was helping me get caught up on my diary and Pokey stepped on the key board.....yep, she deleted everything. Mom is furious at Pokey. She says we will write in my diary later. After Mom calms down.....We had worked on the diary for over 30 minutes. It was long.......

Later

My Baby Sisser FINALLY Talked

I thinks me baby sisser is going to be okay. Mom was brushing Zippy the other day and she made a squealing sound. Mom has been trying to get her to talk for almost a year. This is the closest she has come to talking, so we are planning a big party.

All of us cats have talked since we were babies. When Mom has company and we walk by, she makes us say hello. We like to talk to our neighbor lady. She visists with us, too. When Yakkie was at the vet, everyone in the office just laughed at the conversation Mom was having with her. They just rattled on like they hadn't seen each other in months. When our neighbor lady had her kitty, Mom taught him how to talk. Sometimes the neighbor lady would tell mom she wished she hadn't taught Tom how to talk, because he won't shush us. Some cats are talkers and some aren't.

Now, take my sisser Pokey. She is a real talker. When Mom walks in the door from work, P meets her at the door and starts cranking at her. They have one heck of a discussion. P is mad because she is hungry and Mom is trying to unload her packages to get her something to eat. Usually not fast enough. The tone of her meows, gets her in trouble sometimes. Snippy little devil is what Mom calls her.

Scooter, she really doesn't have much to say. But when she does, you can't shut her up. Kind of like me. I don't talk very often, but when I do, I am like a babbling brook. If people ever heard Mom talking to us cats, they would cart her off to the looney bin. She is always saying to us, "You think I am crazy to talk to you? Well you are the one answering me".

Well, guess I will go make some plans for the "Meow Party" for Zippy. Oh, and another thing about that little stinker, she has decided she likes to be brushed. That means I get bumped to the back of the line. Oh well, her attention span is still pretty short, so her brushings don't last long.

Until the next chapter at Rolling Road.

Purrs and Meows,
Mr. Tigger

Extemely Bad Week!

This week has been really bad at my house. My hooman lady lost her mother and my sisser was at the vets in ICU.

The hooman lady's mother has been failing for about a month. Her heart finally gave out on her. Grandma was in ICU after she fell and broke her hip. That happend on a Saturday. They did surgery on Sunday. My sisser Yakkie had been not feeling well for about a week. Mom took her to the vet on Tuesday and they said she was dehydrated and had a temperture. Mom went and visited Yakkie after work and they talked for a long time. They took blood and sent it off. Mom headed over to the hospital to visit Grandma. She said they had a great visit talking about all of us kitties. The next morning Mom got
the call from the hospital that Grandma was not going to make it. She made a quick call to the vet and found out Yakkie had an inflamed pancreas, but it was treatable with anitbiotics and she was going to be okay.

Mom got to see Grandma before she passed away. Mom was too busy the rest of the day to go visit Yakkie. She called the vet and they told her that Yakkie was in the best hands possible, not to worry.

Mom got to take Yakkie home Thursday morning. They had been giving her meds and rehydrated her and her purr was coming back. I could tell Mom's world was starting to get back in sync. She spent all day Thursday hugging and talking to us kitties. Our hearts broke for mom.

The funeral was yesterday and Mom was pretty numb. She brought home lots and lots of pretty flowers. She pretty much stayed close to us kitties and we gave her lots of hugs and kisses.

That was a lot for Mom to handle in a few short days. Yakkie is getting better every day. Tomorrow Mom takes the do hickey out of her front leg they used to pump "happy juice" in. Mom keeps saying that Yakkie was at the Spa getting her purr back.

Today, the sun came up and all of us kitties were laying right beside Mom on the bed and she petted all of us and thanked us for helping her get this this week. The power of the purr lives on!

My other sissers are doing good. My baby sisser gets in trouble quite frequently. She eats a couple pieces of shrimp and then takes a piece and plays "shrimp hockey" in the living room. The floors are really slick and that shrimp moves perty dang fast.

Sales have been pretty slow for a month, but this morning we sold a beautiful blue flowered quilt. That perked Mom up.

So glad we have Mom and Mom has us. It is a wonderful combination and it works!!

Better go take my nap. After all, it is Saturday!!

Has it been THAT long?

Howdy Purr Friends.
How times gets away from you when you are busy sleeping. I didn't realize it has been a few months since I contributed to my diary.

Things are settling down pretty good at my house. After we lost my oldest sisser, it took a while to get over that. All of my sisser are doing great.

I guess, since I am the "TOM" of the house, I am going to have to give my baby sisser, Zippy, some pointers on catching birds. Here calico heart is in the right spot, but I am not so sure about her brain. This past week she has been camped out under the Russian Olive tree trying to catch a bird. Last night she was laying low in the tall grass ready to pounce, but there were NO birds in the tree. I guess I am going to have to teach her the basics. Like, if there isn't a bird in the tree, don't bother. I have no doubt, she will catch a bird. As for me, tooooo much work. I am very happy sleeping my life away.

This winter we had three neighborhood strays spend time with us. I was not happy or amused with there presence. But Mom is a softie. She said that since all of us kittys were orphans, she would feed and let them sleep in the house at night. She says she hopes that if any of us kitties ever become lost, some nice hooman will feed and love us. I just don't like sharing my house with strangers. Luckly they understand they were NOT welcomed on the bed. A couple of times the strays got in fights in the house and Mom was very mad at all the cat hair on the floor. Us smart ones just watched them duke it out.

Well, I hear the hooman lady is going to be on vacation (whatever that is) next week. I am totally dreading that. She thinks it is soooo funny to come in when I am sound asleep and ask me what I am doing. She knows darn well I am SLEEPING. DUH!!! She does it to all of us. Guess she is bored? Maybe I will fool her and hide outside in the tall grass and coach Zippy.

I guess today is my birthday. We really don't know when I was born, so Mom just picked out a date. Doesn't really matter to me, because my life is just one big party. I love my hooman lady and my sissers. I have a very good home and life. I am one of the lucky ones. In fact, all of us are lucky, because we are adopted.

Time for another nap since Mom is still at work for a couple more hours.

Happy purrs and meows to everyone. Be sure to check out all the great organic catinip toys and quilts in my shop on Etsy. You can shop at www.coloradocatniptoys.etsy.com.

Life is Getting Back to Normal (if that is possible).

Is life ever normal when you have a human for a Mom and four sissers? Since the last time I wrote in my diary, I lost my oldest sisser. She had been going down hill for quite some time. Mom took Modey to the vet just before Christmas and did blood tests. The vet confirmed what Mom was afraid of, her kidneys were shutting down.

Mom brought Mo home and we took care of her. She lived on the heat pad that Mom made into a bed for her. She would get up to eat, drink and use the poopy pan. She just got weaker and weaker. Finally on the 4th of February, Mom and Modey came to an agreement, she was hurting a little more each day. So on the 5th of February, Mom took my sisser to the vet for the last time. It really tore Mom up. She has had Mo for 19 years. They were the best of friends. We will hold a party this summer and scatter her ashes in the backyard.

My other sisser, Scooter has been down for almost two months with a sore paw and a rotten cattitude. Mom would try to pet Scooter and she would show the claws and teeth. So Mom left her alone as much as possible. Scooter would not get out of bed and come have breakfast with us other kitties. She would stay under the covers on Mom's bed all day and most of the night. Mom would have to get her up to eat and go outside. Mom did take Scooter to the vet for her paw, but they didn't think anything was wrong.

Mom finally has decided that Scooter did have a sore paw, but at the same time was jealous of my baby sisser, Zippy and Modey was affecting her. Since Moday has been gone, a little over 2 weeks, Scooter has slowly come out of her depression. This morning her and Zippy were tearing through the house chasing each other. Scooter will come and sit on Mom's lap and love on her now. It is such a great change in Scooter. I think she was really bummed by Modey being sick. You can't figure us cats out.

As for me, I am doing great. The other day an intruder cat came through the cat door and we tangled. Mom was none to happy with me when she got home and saw all the cat hair on the floor. But, Mom, I was defending MY turf. The nerve of THAT cat to come into MY HOUSE and attack me. After I explained that to Mom, she gave me a big kitty hug. After all, I am the "CAT" of the house. Watching out for my sissers. Except sometimes, I sit back and let my sissers fight my battles for me. I am getting old and I don't bounce back as quickly as I used to from them rumbles.

I have been catching up on my missed cat naps. We were very busy for a couple months with our catnip shop on Etsy. We made a lot of kitties happy over the holidays. Things have slowed a bit, so I can catch up on my naps. If you would like to check out our shop, you can find us in the Catster Marketplace under Colorado Catnip Toys. Our direct address is www.coloradocatniptoys.etsy.com.

Well, off to take a nap before my 10 o'clock snack. The life of a CEO is always busy and needs sleep.

Cat you later,
Mr. Tigger

The Purr of The Tigger, How Sweet It Is!

Greetings Meows,
I have a couple more days of pills and I will back to "Tiggering" 100 percent. I hope I never get sick again. It is no fun! I hate it when Mom makes me swaller them pillz. Icky!

On to my family. We are all doing good. Even my sisser Modey. She is staying about the same. Mom brushed her this evening and you could see it perked her up. Zippy, my youngest sisser has officially "adopted" Mom. Kind of like the commercial on TV when the dog won't play with his new owner when first adopted, then the dog comes and jumps on the couch with him. Zip is a lot like that, but, a cat. She has decided it is cool to get on the computer table and lay between the keyboard and the monitor. She just lays there teasing mom. Then yesterday, Zip also was helping Mom sew. That doesn't always work. Mom was having trouble keeping little paws away from the needle. Speak of the Devil, Zippy is teasing mom right now at the computer. She sits in front of the monitor and mom can't see what she is typing. Silly kitten!

My other sisters have been pretty lazy this winter. Yak NEVER leaves the bed. Mom made the mistake years ago of telling Yak her main job in life was to make sure no one steals the bed. I tell you, that cat does her job to the letter. She gets up long enough in the morning to eat and them back to her job. Very dedicated. My other sisser, Pokey is about to get on moms bad side. She has a bad habit of jumping on mom's back and scaring her to death. Poor mom, she looks like someone has scratched her up. My other sisser, Scooter is a mess in her own right. She loves to rub noses with mom. She must be an Eskimo kitty. Every morning her and mom have a morning chat while mom is on the potty.

As you can tell, never a dull moment at this house. Yesterday I think all the stray cats in the neighborhood was hanging out in MY living room. Everytime Mom would could come from sewing, there was a different cat sleeping on the couch. I think some of them spent the night. They kept mom awake most of the night. Them dang cat doors.

Well, I am headed off to snoozeland. Hope everyone is doing as fine as me and family are!

Many Meows and Purrs to All!

Mr. Tigger

I am purring AGAIN!

Merry Catmas to all my cat friends. I have such a long terrible week. I have been down with a throat infection. I guess I was hacking up too many hairballs and I got a sore throat and that turned into infection.

Let me tell, you...I was one sick puddy cat. My baby sister still doesn't understand why I don't want to rumble. I was invisible for a couple days and Mom took me to that place just down the road. I felt so bad, I really can't tell you very much. I do know they stuck something in my hinny. I had a temp of 104. Mom and the vet just looked at each other, yes I was totally out of it. I remember them poking me in the neck and putting some gel junk under to skin to make me hydrated. Then...I got a shot. OUCH! Mom has to force pills down me twice a week.

Last night she got out the brush and boy did that perk me up. I can't refuse a good brushing. I am getting my purr back. I even woke mom up early this morning to wish her a very Merry Catmas. She said that was the best present ever.

My sister Modey is not doing good at all. Mom took her to the vet last week too and her kidneys are shutting down. I feel sorry for both mom and Mo. Those two are connected in such a way, even I don't understand.

Boy, it sure is nice to be getting my purr back. I miss EATING! Mom brought me some turkey from Grandmas. YUMMY!!

Well, just wanted to let everyone know I am up and around again. Better go get my 6 pm nap in so I can go to bed after while. Keep your paws crossed for my sister Mo.

Purrs and Meows from the Belcher Clan!

Mr. Tigger

Sisser is going to be okay!

Mom just got back from the vets office and said they were going to do blood tests on my sisser. The vet thinks by looking at her she has sore teeth causing the sore on her nose and a general infection. The vet thought her kidneys were okay for now. They will know when they read the blood test. Thought they would put her on antibiotics for two weeks and go from there.

Mom is feeling happy, but at the same time, mad at herself for not taking Mo in sooner.

I will keep you posted on her recovery!

Purrs and meows!
Mr. Tigger

Baby Sister is STILL Defective

Mom is about to go crazy! My baby sisser is still not talking. All of us cats talk up a storm, but not Zippy. I heard mom explain to Zip that she needs to learn to talk so if she ever got lost and we went looking for her, she would be able to yell back at us. But so far, she is mute. The purr button works overtime.

Mom is kind of sad. My sisser Modey, that is 18 years old is falling apart. She is not perking very good. Mom is afraid her kidneys are shutting down. Mom is taking her to the vet in the morning to get a second opinion. I can see the sadness in Mom's eyes when Mo is sleeping on her heating pad on the couch and looking so peaceful. She has had a couple bad spells lately. Mom just doesn't know what to do. She keep hoping that Modey will call Mother Nature and they will make the ultimate decision. If her kidneys are shutting down, we are going to bring her home and make her as comfortable as possible until the very last moment. I don't really like my sisser, but I am sad when my mommie is sad.

Can you believe the Marketplace. That is so great. Since it opened on Saturday, Mom said we have sold three kitty quilts and one cat toy to Catster members. We are walking in tall catnip at this house. I just hope we can keep it all handmade and no commercial junk.

Well, it is time for my 7:30 nap. I hate to miss my naps before bedtime because I will be super grumpy in the morning. Mom has tomorrow and Friday off and we are going to make more kitty quilts. I love helping mom sew. I get to do the testing. It is a very tough job, but someone has to do it. I am an expert when it comes to sleeping on comfy beds.

Meows and Purrs to all you cats!
Mr. Tigger

So Proud

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to tell every cat that I am so proud of my baby sister, Zippy. She has mastered the cat doors. In fact, I don't think Mom can hear here when she comes in. The other morning, Zippy went outside and Mom was in the bedroom looking out the window and Zippy was there. Mom just waved and told Zip she knew how to come, that she was not going to open the window for her. I bet it wasn't 30 meows later and Zippy as at my Mom's feet. Startled Mom when Zippy rubbed up against her. She is a smart one.

Now, if only she would meow. That really has Mom bugged. I guess she just doesn't have much to say. I know one of these days she will learn so many words, she will a chatty catty.

Mom says I am going to be really busy this weekend. We have three special orders to make. One large kitty quilt, one really large catnip mat and another mat. Those won't take long, it is the 100 or so catnip toys she has to make and I get to test. I am quite pawsitive it will cut into my napping time. Oh well, the life of a business cat. If you would like to take a peek at the catnip toys my family makes, check out our website. www.coloradocatniptoys.etsy.com. Mention you are a member of Catster when you order, and I will pay shipping. Mom says there will be an extra bonus in all of us kitties Christmas stockings for helping her make stuff to sell.

As for my older sister Modey. She is hanging in there. I can tell she is getting weaker every day. She has a very strong heart. She doesn't want to leave her mom. Those two have a really strong bond. All of us kitties have strong bonds with our mom, but each bond is different.

Looks like it is about time for me to make the rounds on the yard and check out all the bushes so I can come in a take a nap before it is time to eat supper and go to bed.

I appreciate everyone that takes the time to read my silly diary. It is a cool place that lets me express my fun side.

Meows and Purrs,

Mr. Tigger

First Snow of the Year

We got a couple inches of snow this morning and I love it. I love being out when it is cold. This was a life changing experience for my baby sister, Zippy. She has never seen snow and it was quite a shock when Mom put her out to pee. She wasn't sure she wanted out in the cold. We have been teaching her how to use the two cat doors to come in to the house. Mom was hoping she would use the doors this morning, but she didn't. So Mom put me out with Zippy so I would show her how to use the doors. I thought she was behind me, but I guess not. Mom had to go find her. Mom showed her how to use the doors again. When Zippy got in the house, she thought Mom was mad at her. When she got the chance, she jumped on my other sister, Modey's heating pad to warm her paws.

Just the look on her face, she was sure Mom was mad at her. I know she will learn the cat doors pretty soon.

Modey is hanging in there. We keep thinking just any day, will be her day. She sleeps on the heating pad on the couch. She still eats, drinks,
and used the poopy pan. Just about every morning she jumps up on the bathroom sink to greet Mom when she gets out of the shower. Mom is hoping Modey and Mother Nature make the ultimate decision.

Well, been pretty calm on Rolling Road. Getting ready for all those long winter naps in the nice warm house. Sometimes Mom leaves the electric blanket on for us. How warm is that.

Back to my nap. I hate it when I miss a nap or two during the day.

Meows and Purrs,
Mr. Tigger

The Morning After

Hi everyone!
Yesterday was certainly a cat-tastic day for me and my family. I felt like I was King for the day. What an honor to have my diary selected.

I got a lot of support for my "defective" sister. I know she is not defective and so does Mom. Zippy is just so busy teasing all of us and running through the house and just being a kitten to talk. But boy can she purr. Everytime Mom feeds her, her little motor is on high speed. Just give her time and she wil be "Chatty Katty".

Mom is so good to us kitties. We all help her make catnip toys and kitty quilts to sell. This fall she got tired of dragging all the sewing machines and tables and equipment into the living room where the TV is and she can see out the window, so she had a new window installed in the craft room. The new window is just the height of the table and us kitties can sit in the window and talk to mom when she is sewing. She can look out the window into the back yard. I love taking my nap on her sewing table when she is sewing. I get pretty exhausted since I am "product quality tester". That is a lot of sniffing of the toys and laying on the quilts. But I love helping mom.

If you would like to check out our full line of catnip toys, kitty quilts and catnip mats, go to our catnip shop on Etsy. www.coloradocatniptoys.etsy.com. If you find something you like, Mom is giving all Catsters free shipping. It is easy to sign up on Etsy.

Well, I have a busy day today, with all the napping and stuff, so I had better get busy. Getting all my naps in is sometimes hard especially when I have Zippy in the middle of me wanting to play.

Well, that is all for now from Rolling Road in Colorful Colorado.

Meow,
Mr. Tigger

Thank you from the bottom and top of my heart.

MEOW! Mom just told me my diary was picked for the day. That is so funny. Only this morning Mom and I were wondering if kitties ever read my writings. And now this...Cosmic!

Now for an update on my sister. Mom thinks Zippy is defective. That little mess has not mewed a meow. Mom is getting worried. All of us cats talk up a storm from time to time. Zippy just doesn't have anthing to say, just yet. She will start talking. I know how
purr-sistant my mother is.

But with the weather turning colder, we have another glitch with the kitten. When the bedroom window gets closed, we have to use two cat doors to come in or go outside. We have worked with Zip a little, but she just doesn't seem to grasp the idea. We showed her last night and then when Mom went to look for her, she was outside shivering.
The weather is suppose to be warm this weekend, so Mom is planning on working with Zippy to master the cat doors.

My two sisters, Yakkie and Pokey are pros at the cat doors. In fact, when mom was installing them (she is quite handy) those two were in and out constantly before she got them totally installed. I know once she starts watching us "pros" she will learn the doors quickly.

I really hate to see the bedroom window shut. But it does get cold at night. Silly mom, she even dug out the electric blanket last week. I guess us cats were getting cold and snuggled up close to mom and she got too hot. She put the blanket on "our" side of the bed. It is so warm and toasty. But I must admit, I do like to snuggle up against mom.

Well, I don't know what to say. This such a great honor bestowed on my and of course my mother. She helps me with the spelling and typing. Pokey is a really fast typist, but her spelling is awful.

Meows and purrs to everyone who reads my life story. I truly live a cat's life.

Meow,
Mr. Tigger

p.s. sure is easier to log in when you have the right information

My mom is so funny!

She tried for over a week to log on and help me with my diary, but she couldn't remember her password. She even had the wrong email address and we couldn't get into get everyone caught up on my baby sister.

Ah yes, my baby sister. She is such a mess. She has brought life back to this house. She is so much fun, except when I am trying to nap. I will say this for her, she is very persistant. She learns pretty fast. Mom has been coaching her on how to use the two catdoors to come into the house. She knows the one, but I am sure she will master the door from outside to get into the garage real quick.

My other sister, Scooter, isn't sure she likes NOT being the baby. She was the baby for three years. But her and Zippy get along pretty good. My other two sisters are in a world of there own. Yakkie and Zippy seem to hit it off pretty good. Pokey won't give her the time of day. And as for my older sister, she is not in good health. She spends her day on the couch on the heating pad. She goes from the couch to the litter box to the food dish. She still eats like a horse, but is showing her age. She is about 18 years old. She has never been a very social cat when it came to us kitties. She truly loves mom. I hate to see the day when it is her last day, mom will go to pieces.

Well, I think mom wrote down the password, so I can keep writing about my life.

Cat you later

Mr. Tigger

My new sister is a mess!

Once Mom got Zippy tamed down, it sure didn't take long for her to take over. She thinks she is a big kitty now. The other morning Mom was leaning out the bedroom window to see which cats were fighting, and Zippy was under the window. There is a large tree stump under the window for us big kitties to jump on to come in the window. You see, there is not screen on the window. Mom says it was easier to take the screen off then it was to get up in the middle of the night to let us in or out. Any who, Zippy climbed up the stump and mom grabbed her and brought her in the house Big mistake! The next morning we were all sitting up in bed talking and looking out the window and guess who jumped in the window. She just about didn't make it, but she dug her claws in and pulled herself in the window. She thought she was so cool. I guess there isn't anything she can't do now. She still sleeps outside. I am sure that is about to change. Mom is letting her decide where she wants to sleep.

Last night it was way past bedtime, and Zippy was outside chasing bugs. Mom asked her where she was sleeping. She just looked at mom and continued chasing her bugs, so Mom left her out. Not real sure ifshe was in or out this morning. When Mom got home from work, Zippy was laying on the couch and just looked at Mom as to say "hi Mom, what you up to?" KIDS!

Mom says she will get pictures uploaded of all my sisters. I have one that is about 19 years old and not doing very good. I will be very sad when she leaves us. We never got along growing up, but I will still miss her.

Going to call it a night and go to sleep. Zippy wears me out!

My new Sister

Zippy is getting tamer. I knew my mom would tame her once she set her mind to it. After all, she tamed me. I used to be a mean little kitty bacause I was scared. I was the last one out of five to be caught. I had been on my own for a few days and I was hungry. But mom caught me and it took a few days to tame me, now I am just a lovable hunk of fluff.

Zippy will eat out of mom's hand now. She loves hamburger as a treat. Mom tricks her and gets her to come closer than plucks her up and my sister just melts and starts purring. Tonight while she was eating out of her dish, she let mom pet her. I think she is going to fit in real swell. She even thinks she is tough enough to take me on. I will let her think that for a while, and then I will put her in her place.

Well, I have had a busy days, with all the naps and all, I guess it is time for my to hit the hay.

Mr. Tigger

Mom has done it AGAIN!

I am never going to be the baby of the family ever again...another little orphan has adopted mom. I guess it is okay. This little gal is so tiny, I am almost afraid to play with her. She is a calico, most likely a female. She was spotted across the street by the neighbor lady and then a couple days later she was in my backyard. She is a wise one. Mom has been trying for almost three weeks to get her tamed down. She has caught her about a half dozen times, but she just doesn't want to tame down. Tonight, she had the never to come into the house and look around. Guess she was checking out the accommodations.

Mom hasn't settled on a name yet, We call her "LG" for Little Girl and then this morning she was running around the patio and I heard mom call her "Zippy". I am sure she will come into a name shortly.

I know my mom has a soft spot in her heart for strays, especially when they are tiny. After we adopted Scooter, now almost three years old, I remember mom saying that the next cat had to ring the doorbell before she would take it in. I guess she needs to take the sign on the back patio that says "We welcome strays" down. I will be okay with the newest addition. I pretty much stay to my self these days. I think it is the heat and age. I get cranky easily. But I will learn to love and tolerate this little mess.

Actually, it might be nice to have some young blood in the house. Sometimes us "old" kitties need a jolt and need to be reminded of how great it was to be a kitten. Running through the house and playing with the other cats and then dropping where we were playing and take those power naps.

Wish me luck with the little one. I guess one every three years isn't too bad, considering I was an orphan too~

YIPPEE! It worked!

The new bed mom bought works like a charm. I slept like a Lion King in the new soft fluffy bed. Even my sister Yakkie woke up purring and not hissing and growling. And the best part was mom sure did feel better!

My baby sister, Scooter has a sore paw today. I laugh at my mom at some of the things she comes up with. She asked Scooter if her paw was broke. Then she said "my paw was broken too"! Referring to Grandpa as being poor. I think Scooter will be just fine. She probably just landed wrong when she jumped. I know mom has looked at it and it is not swollen or anything like that. Give her a few more "Poor poorScooters" and a pat on the head and she will be back to new in no time at all.

It is so cool getting to tell my side of everyday life at Rolling Road. You should see my beautiful backyard. It is full of white daisies. I love to lay there and just look at them. My other favorite place to rest is under the big tree in the front yard. There are lots of bushes to hide under. The only two things mom really asks of us kitties is to check in with her when she first wakes up and when she get home from work. Other than that, we are free wildcats...ha ha.

Best get back to my naps. I hate it when I miss a couple in a row.

Till later

Mr. Tigger

I am so excited!

The new bed that mom ordered a couple of weeks got delivered today. I am so excited to sleep on the bed, providing I can jump that high. That new mattress is really tall. Might have to get up on the dresser and then jump down on the bed. I can get on the dresser real easy, just jump on the chair, then to the hope chest, then to the dresser.

I hope this new bed solves my mom's aching problems. Every morning when she gets up, she blames one of us for beating her up all night. I am also hopeful that my sister Yakkie will wake up in a happy mood instead of her usual "growling, hissing" mood.

I will keep you posted as to how we sleep tonight. I can hardly wait to get to sleep and dream. Maybe with a good nights sleep, I will actually cat that mouse that keeps teasing me in my dreams.

Meow,
Mr. Tigger
