Resolutions for New years? Me? Make some? hahhaha, I don't think so. I am the queen of the house and I make the rules. at this point, I think I am the alpha cat of the house. Yes, I know I am not a male but who cares. Things change. Women have more rights now and it's a sign of the times. We all know us girls run the house. I run mine and I don't need Checkers to be an alpha cat. I am queen and I suanter aroudn and let ppl know it. So, queens do not have resolutions. My mom thinks I need some like stay off the top of the frige, quit hissing at everycat(even ones that come to MY window to admire me, mind you) and that I need to be less finiky. Who does she think she is talking to, I ask you! I am Midnite, Buddy's babe and Queen of the house! Hear me hiss and purr! I scoff at resolutions! Mol. I am happy to be starting out the new year with us all together. thank goodness for that. I can't not have the others to boss around and I am secretly happy we are all still togeter and safe and warm. Trials and tribulations will only make you stronger and closer, right? Now we can all four be out and be in teh same room and we only try to hiss at one another, not attack each other so some good things have come upon us. So, in closing, i wish you all a very happy new year and I hope you all find the happiness in your life you are looking for. It's no fun living a lonely life so make the best of yours and find you the right family to live with. it's all about having family and making an impact on someoen 's life (ina good way, not a negative way!). Cheers to my fellow catsters, may we all have a very blessed and happy new year!

Today I scared my humans. They woke us furballs all up early this morning and forced us into our carriers. *hiss* *hiss again* I hate that stupid carrier. What's worse is it was below freezing today! How dare they, what were they thinking taking us out in that cold?! So i'm not sure what happened, the van was packed and I guess being in my carrier really stresses me out because I was doing all the meowing I could possibly do at the loudest volume ever. So then I started rolling in the cage, all the time while mommy and auntie watched me. Well, I'd pace in teh carrier (i'm pretty small anyway but i have tons of room in this carrier) and then I would drop and roll and then I statrted to do this odd shake. my mommy thought I was having a stroke or something. I was panting and my breathing was very fast. I scared me and my family. I think I'm going to be okay....does any other cat out there act like that? mommy feels bad she has to keep moving us but then she promised me she will get us into a permant place on Monday! Yes! You go mommy! I am happy about that! It has hardwood floors, something I have never had before so I am sure it will be a great place. I just dread the drive to get there. If there is any cat out there who can give my mommy sugestions on how to keep me calm on the ride, I'd really be grateful!
A very releived to be in a non moving place,

I have a problem. Very rarely will you hear me admit this. But I realize that I do have one and so here I am, confessing. I hiss at anything that moves that is near me. Chosen never had a chance with me. He gets on my last nerves. Checkers, we usually get along, but I'm not feeling like getting along with anyone. My hair is shedding like crazy, I won't come out of hiding very much, and I hiss at all that moves. I give a few hisses and show these other clowns who is thereal boss when I do decide to come out. I am barely eating, and I have just became so withdrawn. My humans say I am stressed. Well, heck yeah, I am! If only they would stop moving us from place to place, I might be able to relax! I mean, a Queen can only handle so much. All my humans are trying to give me extra love and attention and say they are worried about me because I have lost some weight and I just won't be bothered with them. I'm just keeping my queen-like figure, you know? My humans worry too much when they need to be worrying about other things. How about worrying how to control Chosen?! He is really getting under my skin. I have more than swatted him a few times. Calcat take me away! Or heck, take that black and white little brat away!
Signed yours truly,
Midnite

Well, My aunt was at work and got this text. It said you won't beleive what Midnite did. How dare my mom text her with info about me! I mean, yeah, i am getting the attention I am craving but pullleaszze, mom, quit being so dramatic! So maybe I have climbed up to the top of the refridgerator...no big, right? Well, there is also this paper towel holder that is my aunts and it is from her mommy who passed away and means a lot to her...it is on the wall between the fridge and the counters. Well,it has a teeny tiny shelf. Guess where my new hangout is?!! MOL! Yup, on the towel rack. That's my new spot. I look like a black kitty suspended in midair. I could join the circus. Checkers is jealous he can't jump and prowl like me, hehe. I am sleek and little and ajaile. I am having fun being in the spotsI shouldnt be because it makes my mom give me attention. Ok, not the kind I want but its attention, right? MOL. Til later, MIdnite

So today I was found yet again trying to 'nudge' the ice machine off of the kitchen counter...to that I say I just wanted it to rub my chin...yeah, that is the story I'm going to stick to. My mom can't figure out why I hate it so much but she thinks it could be the noise when it dumps the ice. I mean, queens have to have beauty sleep and to get beauty sleep you need peace and quiet. It's one big never ending cycle so I thought I would put an end to it once and for all when my mommy came in and noticed what I was doing. I tried to give the innocent look like Miracle does but it did not work for me.
So, that was interesting. My boyfriend buddy is out saving the world. Oh and he even tried to escape to come see me but My mom said I am GROUNDED even if he had made it all the way to Oklahoma to see me.
Queens don't get grounded, they just don't. I don't know what is up with that. But I Do know they get thier way all the time and I am a queen so I expect nothing less than to get my way and be rid of that dumb, loud ice machine!
Some might ask why it bothers me....well, I am cute, sleek, and petite and queens have little ears and little sounds make BIG noises to us. So there you go. My mom should have invested in something more quiet to appese me and these little kitchen boxing matches/power struggles would not be happening!
So I say to all: death to the ice machine! victory will be mine!
Hisses

Well, as if our house doesn't have enough going on in it, I had to throw in my antics! Yes, I may be queen of the house but even the queen likes to have some fun!
Poor Mom is stressed out with so much stuff she couldn't type it all out if she wanted to but to make a long story short, Mom would love to have a webcam watching me daily. This morning she woke up to find me on the kitched counter where the ice machine is.
Now, me and this ice machine...well, we have issues with each other. Its' a small one but it constantly makes noise and I don't care for it. Mom got it on her birthday. Well, the dratted thing makes noise when it dumps the ice cubes and tht alone drives me batty. But it also takes up my counter space. Yeah, hello! that is MY counter space.
You know, inantimate object or not, I don't like it. Mom loves it, I hate it. This morning I was found on the counter (which I know I'm not supposed to be on) and on top of this Ice machine. My aunt (Miracle's mom) tried to defend me saying maybe i liked the warmth on the backside but to no avial.
My mom swears I was trying to push it off the counter. I hate to admit that I was. The sooner tht thing goes, the sooner I can prowl around without jumping everytime the stupid thing dumps it's ice!!
Now I overheard them talking about how they wished they had a camera to spy on me! I dont' need no camera!

Well, today was a different kind of day. Well, sort of different. One thing happened that was different.
Aside from my recent daily antics of trying to find trouble (by jumping in the kitchen window, going in the kitchen cabinets, getting into trash, jumping on the kitchen counter, etc, etc, etc), I found a discovery today.
Yeah, it was pretty weird! there was this brown thing that was slithering kind of slowly around in my kitchen! My mom called it a worm.
It was ugly too! I didn't want to touch the disgusting thing (queens don't touch those sort of things) but I sat and stared at it like it was the most interesting thing ever!!
Well, that mom of mine just had to go and get a paper towel and pick it up and put it outside! How dare she take away my entertainment for the day!
I was liking how it wiggled, it was making me jumpy but it was really neat!! That is my breaking news for today!

This was posted by my family's very good furiend REANAN. Not only is she a blushing beautiful bride but she's one smart kitty!
October: Black Cat Month
While October may be the favorite month of thousands of humans, who excitedly plan their costumes of spooks, vampires and monsters, in anticipation of Halloween, cats, particularly black cats, have little cause for celebration this month.
Much has been said about the more violent indignities that may be practiced on black cats at this time of year, but a more subtle cruelty has surfaced in recent years. Some shelters have noted a spate of black cat adoptions shortly before Halloween, with many of these cats returned to the shelters in the days after the holiday because "He just didn't work out." One might assume that these people just wanted another Halloween decoration for their house - a black cat in the window, perhaps, or a "familiar" to go with that new witch costume. It probably did not even occur to them that this practice is cruel and inhumane - this kind of individual typically thinks of cats as property, and not as sentient beings who suffer real trauma from being dragged back and forth from shelter to home and back again.
Let's Talk About the Violence.
It is true that statistics on black cat torture during October are lacking - most of the stories we hear are heresay, and some, no doubt, have been drummed up simply for the shock value. The conundrum is that the problem can be self-fulfilling. Young minds are vulnerable, particularly the minds of youths who have themselves been abused. When they hear stories of ritual Satanic abuse of cats, a spark ignites, and a new crime wave is off and running, with a "stray" black cat the target.
Ritual sacrifice still exists. Talk to almost any police officer in a rural area about it and you may hear a story or two about cattle found, completely drained of blood, often with vital organs missing. These stories crop up in newspapers once in awhile, and while some may be dismissed as "urban legends," the possibility exists that some are true.
No Adoption of Black Cats During October
The perception of danger to black cats on Halloween has become so prevalent that many shelters and humane societies refuse to allow adoption of black cats during the entire month of October. Lacking this previously easy source of victims, practitioners of the black occult and other sadists look to the streets for their sacrificial cats, and color is not always the highest priority.
Myths About Black Cats
Black cats have taken a bad rap throughout history. Greek mythology taught that a woman named Galenthias was turned into a cat and became a priestess at the temple of Hecate, the "Dark Mother," and sometimes known as the Mother of Witchcraft. During the 12th and 13th century, witches in Europe were often found with their "familiars," usually black cats, and were said to turn themselves into cats at times. During the witch-burning era of the 17th century, witches' cats were put into baskets and burned alongside the witches.
Even in the 21st century, old superstitions have survived. In many European countries and in the U.S., black cats signify bad luck, while in England, your luck is said to turn good if a black cat crosses your path.
Keep Them Indoors
For the reasons cited above, it is best to keep all cats indoors during the month of October, regardless of their color, but especially if they happen to be black. (Indeed, cats are safer indoors any time of year.) Even though there may be no cultists in your neighborhood or community, the sheer numbers of people out and about on Halloween, along with increased vehicular traffic make the outdoors a frightening and unsafe place for small furry creatures.
In addition, on Halloween night and the weekend before, you'll be wise to keep your cats locked inside an interior room in the house, lest they panic and slip out when hobgoblins come to your door. Even the calmest cat can become upset at endless doorbell ringing and youthful voices shouting "Trick or treat!" Enjoy your holiday while saving your kitties from unnecessary stress.

Well, the last few days have been rather .... um...interesting. I keep getting in trouble by my humans. Now my human mommy is different than Mira's. My mommy is sisters to Mira's mommy and boy, I have had BOTH mommies on my case!!
First I kept getting into the trash, which is something I have NEVER done. It's so below me, the queen, but I felt I had to take drastic measures to get some attention this week.
Secondly, I keep opening cabinets even though I know I am not supposed to. Who do you think let Checkers get out that yellow dishwashing glove? *snickers* He'll do anything I tell him.
I almost had him jump from teh top of the stairs one time. But his mommy told him to not listen to me and ruined that plot. *hiss*
So then I jumped up on the counter even though I was told a 100 times not to. I know better, i do. bu i had to get thier attention somehow. Who are they to tell me not to jump on something? I am the queen, they serve me. Have they gotten amnesia?
Well, then I did my normal thing of jumping in everyone's chair when they get up at dinner thing. I do that nightly. Even when it's not dinner time. I just like taking someone's seat. Its nice and warm. I expect my staff to warm those seats for me. Well, tonight I begged and begged and I gave my mom the stare down. MORE THAN USUAL.
*sigh* it did no good. I just got told to quit and put down on the floor, like usual.
Well, the only good thing about today was that I got my collar taken off. Yeah, my mom's mom found a little rubbing spot that really hurts me and so off the collar came. But you know , royalty doesn't wear collars either. Collars are for dumb dogs. Dogs can be owned, cats can't. So I am happy to report it is gone! It's is history! Now if i can just get on top of the counter to get to that window.....
Well, that is my week's goal this week. We'll see how that goes.
Royally your Queen, Midnite

This was cross posted in another group. The lady's cat was beaten to death by her jealous boyfriend. The link to this article is a post by a New York post reporter who thinks the cat deserved what it got.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/09182008/news/columnists/felon ious_ball_of_fur_deserved_every_blo_129691.htm
The lady's email address is in this article and when you read this article, it will make your blood pressure rise. I am asking you all to respond to her email with your thoughts and reactions to this article. She even starts off the article calling people who care about animal rights 'nutty'.
I am so mad I am asking you all to respond to her and share your 'nutty' thoughts. Also, please respond to the petition. Here is her email address.

Well, today I am happy to let the world know that I am divorced from Checkers. Yep, we have been fighting way too much and I am done with him!
I am the queen around here and it's about time to find me someone who sees and treats me like the royalty I am.
I don't need to stay with him just because he lives in the same house as me, right?
Come on, Ladies! Let's have a ladies night out! Mol. I got a rose today from Buddy. *blushes* He's pretty cute. I have heard from Miracle that he is a player though. Not sure what is up with that but time will tell. So hello world. Goodbye married life!!!

Well, I don't normally do the diary entry thing like other cats but I just had to vent about my recent escape attempt. See, everytime the door opens, I like to stand at it.
I actually have quite the fascination with the front door. When it rains, I stay by it.
When people are coming to it, I know. I have a catlike 6th sense and wait patiently for them to ring the doorbell. I tend to just look at the door like I expect it to open to me and then bow. I give those you must bow to me, I am your queen looks ALL The time according to my family. I think instead of analyzing me, they should just bow and be done with it.
So back to this door thing...I am always by it. I always wait for it to open and I try to sneak out. I have jumped out of our upstairs window before and I know what it's like out there and I want to go back. I mean, I'll come back.
That morning I jumped out, I was waiting at the window downstairs to come back in. So I always come back , so I DON"T see the problem with me getting a little fresh air, do you??
So back to today....well my Mommy (Miracle's Mommmy's sister) and Mira's Mom went to Target where they found 5 notebooks for .12 cents and they had bought a lot since they like to donate paper to the furless one's classes and so they were bringing in cases of notebook paper and there I was, waiting at the door and ready to bolt.
I am a super smart kitty, once I saw they were making multiple trips, I began my plotting!! So there I was, and had my mom not known me so well, I would have made it out.
So, my furiends, I did not get to go outside, not even a paw. But I will be working on my next attempt, rest assured!!
Until next time,
Midnite the Queen
