I know, I know, my dear catster friends.

I have not been here much to say "Meow" to you all like I use to. Life has just been so hectic. I know humans think all we do id sleep and nap all day, but I barely got the chance to thank everyone for their "happy birthday" wishes TWO weeks ago.

Between the making the doggies lives miserable and my late night wrestling matches with Ti-Mi, I hardly ever get in as many cat naps as I use to. And I know this is going to make me sound like a big baby, but I've been spending much of my free time snuggling with my mommy. I sometimes feel like I don't see her enough.

Between that places she goes to called "work" and all the mushing stuff she does with the doggies, I feel like I never see her. So when she comes home I make sure she spends as much time with me. I've taken to following her all around the house (hey, if it works for the doggies, right?), and the minute she sits down I jump right in her lap for scratches, pets, kisses and hugs. And when she goes to sleep I nestle somewhere beside her til she falls asleep.

I was so very sad when I thought she forgot about me on my birthday. I didn't even get a special treat that day!! Then, this past Friday, when she came home, there was a bag of my favorite freezed dried beef treat (really a doggie treat, but I like them too!!) and a brand new kitty collar!!!!

That may not seem exciting to you, but I've been wearing the same collar I had since I was a 6 month old kitten. I just turned 3...and that's old in human year! Always wanting to be the kind of cat whose cat dish is half full, I've told myself I should be happy I've been able to still fit in the same collar. Most cats my age can't say that. But that collar was getting raggity, and it was a BABY collar!!!

When mommy put on my new collar...a simple patent leather pink...she said, "So sorry Matty. I've been wanting to get a a new collar for a long, long time, but just never found the right one. One that said, "MATIDA" until I saw this one. And the best thing about the collar, mommy took that stupid bell off! I would have like a few diamonds on it, but the "no bell" was the perfect trade off.

Finally, I have a big girl collar!!!

YAY ME!
