Erin's Wonderful Life

Another diary entry by Erin

I haven't written in my diary since we started my blog. My Mom has a very busy life but she is home a lot these days so I love it. She lost her job last March & has been looking for a new job but it's okay with me if she stays home all the time. I miss her very much when she's not here & especially since I am get so used to her being here so much when she is gone for a long time I am miserable & she can barely make it in the door cuz I am right there to be pet & kissed. I love to welcome her home. I don't know what I am going to do when she does get a job & leaves me alone for 9-10 hours a day. We still never did get a kitty for me to play with. My Mom has thought about it a few times & has come very close but she still feels like it might hurt my feelings. We are so used to it just being the 2 of us that she doesn't want me to feel sad or that she is replacing me. My Mom loves all animals & would love to get another kitty that she can rescue since that is how she got me but we still can't make up our minds. Well, it was fun to write in my diary again & I'll be back again some day soon!

June 14, 2008

Today I have begun my first diary. I wish I had found this website sooner because I would love to have been able to tell you what a great life I have living with my Mom. She loves me sooooo much. She takes wonderful care of me. Yes, I am spoiled rotten but isn't that the way it should be for all cats? Today is Saturday, Flag Day, I helped Mom hang out our flag today. I could tell by the look on her face that she was very proud to do that. We are going to hang around the house today & stay inside. We live in Texas & it is very hot. It's going to be 100 degrees today. My Mom knows that I can't be out in that kind of heat plus she doesn't really like it much either. If she is outside in this heat she wants to be by a pool & uh, folks, that's not the best idea for me. Recently my Mom has been talking to me about adopting another cat. My Vet (boo!) thinks I need someone to play with so I don't get bored & fat. I am already a pretty big guy so I should be getting some exercise. My Mom tries her best to exercise me but sometimes she is tired & we don't play as long as we both know that we should. Sometimes, when she is playing with me I just sit & stare at her. How boring of me! If there was a younger cat here I know I would be more active. My Mom is worried that I will feel like I am being set aside. She has been trying to convince me that is not the case but I still don't know if I want another kitty in our lives. She & I have a great relationship & routine and we are afraid if a kitty comes into our lives that will change. This is so much fun to write my diary. I'll be back on another day. Meow for now!!!
