Grumblin' Ben

I don't know what Ben's problem is. He is a daily diary pick, but he's too busy complaining about treats. I don't know why he likes those freeze-dried raw things so much. They didn't do anything for me. I prefer the salmon treats.

I wonder if I have any friends around any more. Maybe I can get back into things here again. Spring is coming, and it's time to get out and play.

Happy Holidays!

We just want to take a moment to wish all of our friends happy holidays. This year started out badly but is ending up pretty good. Mom found a full-time job in June and a part-time job in September. Us kitties are doing okay too. Mom is off all next week, so we get to have lots of quality time with her. Enjoy this wonderful time of year! Luv, Hershey

Hello, it's me.

Haven't been around for a long time. It's hard when I have to wait for mom to help me because she doesn't have time. She spends all her time again looking for jobs. The temp to perm job she took isn't working out. The office is always closed for no reason, like today. The guy owes the agency money, so Mom doesn't want to accept a permanent position with him. She'll never get any hours and/or she won't get paid for them! She took another chance and paid lot of money to have her resume redone for a career change, but she's not getting any calls.

I'm doing okay though. I had a bit of intestinal upset the other week, so Mom took me to the vet. Since I'm an older guy, they did blood work, and it was all just fine. The weather's turned cold again. We're supposed to get snow on Sunday! I'm staying warm. I was starting to feel frisky with the warmer weather. I've been chasing my mousies and AnnaDee too. Yesterday, I decided to pee on the rug Mom puts by the front door when it rains. I could tell she didn't like that too much, but she didn't say anything. I'm feeling sad too because several friends have gone to the Bridge over the past year or so. :-(

Well, some day I hope to be back here on a regular basis again. Hope you all are doing well.

:'-(

I learned yesterday of the passing yesterday of my friend Frankie, Frankie Sinatracat. I knew he had some health problems but didn't realize his health was declining over the past few weeks. I am so awfully sad.

Even though I was not here much my friend, I was thinking of you. Bye Frankie. Miss you.

We're okay

If we still have any friends left, I just want to let you know that we are okay. Mom's been busy and unmotivated to help us get back to Catster, but hopefully we will be soon. Miss you friends!

It's raining ...

acorns. Yep. This past week, the acorns have started falling. We hear them falling through the trees, hitting the house, bouncing off the deck. Mommy doesn't like it. She says summer is gone, and she hates it. I like summer too, but I like to play with the acorns when I get a chance to go out on the deck like I did today.

Purring for Boo Boo

Oh so sad. I am so sad. My friend L'il Bear Boo Boo (774637) is so very sick. Please purr for her and her mommy.

Stuff

I've been not spending enough time on Catster these days. Mom got too involved with Facebook. Seems she's been busy seeing what all our friends' moms are doing, but we don't get to see our friends! Enough of that! I've finally been able to talk some sense into her.

Tonight the windows will be open! We haven't been able to sniff the night air in weeks and weeks. It's been really hot this summer. Mom has off this weekend too. Yeah! Now she gets every other weekend off instead of having to work every stinkin' Saturday!

I'm getting worried because we're down to the last pieces of kibble from Benjamin's prescription food. I like it a lot, and Mom always let's me have a bit before bed. He's been switched to a different type of food for a different problem. I want Mommy to ask the vet if she can buy it just for me. I only eat that little bit before bed and eat my regular food the rest of the time. I don't think it would hurt.

Lastly, I am feeling so badly about my friend L'il Bear Boo Boo. She is very sick. Oh, it is just so terribly sad, and it seems there is not much I can do but purr. I hope my friends will purr for her too.

Nothing New

I know. It's a stupid title for a diary entry, but it's true. Things are just so boring around here. Nothing interesting going on. It's been real hot so far this summer. We don't go on the deck much because as soon as we see how hot it is we want to come back inside, so now Mommy just says were not even going to go out.

Mommy got another job, so she's away a lot longer during the day. I don't like that. She scared me today. I was sitting at the basement window when I saw someone come out of nowhere and walk right up to me. I hissed and growled! It was Mommy, but I didn't care. She never does that, and she scared me! I don't like that either.

She said I'm being cranky today too. I was getting some belly rubs, and she tickled me, so I nipped her. Not hard you know, just like a 'hey, knock it off', but she really took offense. I've never done that before you see.

So that's all I have to report. I thought about posting this later in case I have something to add, but I doubt I will. If I do, then it will be worth another entry, but don't hold your breath!

Away for awhile

I haven't been on Catster much and now Mom is going away for a few days starting Sunday. I don't know what's going on with my friends any more. I hate when she leaves. I guess I will just hide and be sad and worried and missing my friends for a few days. Boo hoo ...
