Easter picture is up!

Mom finally got around to taking my Easter picture last night. Might I add that I was freaking out! She surrounded me by all these stuffed bunnies and I was like "Okay mom, enough. Do we really need to do this?" Although I was freaked at first, once I realized they were fake and wouldn't hurt me, I didn't mind at all. Of course, I was a good kitty and laid there for her. She said we could play the game "Where's Gizmo?" the way I'm hidden in the photo:) I got lots of kisses after we were finished so that made it all worth it!

It's been a while

It's been a while since I wrote so I thought I'd drop a line to say "HI". Not much has been going on around here. I've just been hanging around sleeping in bed or laying on the sofa watching TV with mom. It's getting nicer out and mom said she's going to start taking me outside when the weather is nice for a little fresh air. I said NO!!! I hate it outside, but mom said it will be good for me. I know how to work her though. If I cry the entire time I'm out, it drives her nuts then she lets me back in:) Oh yeah, I did play cards with mom last night. It was the first time in a while that she played and I was sitting on the computer desk watching her. She didn't do too good until I told her what to do, then she started to win. What would she do without me? Last night when we went to bed, mom told me that she loves how I curl up right against her and purr. She said that helps her fall asleep and she loves that I help keep her warm too. That's good because earlier in the day I was so cold that I was curled up as tight as I could get to try to stay warm. Some guy was there working on our heater and he forgot to turn it back on. Fortunately I was on the bed so the blanket helped me keep warmer then if I were in my crate. At any rate, when mom got home and felt how cold it was, she turned the heat back on and curled up with me to help warm me up. She felt bad, but it wasn't her fault, she didn't know. I was fine though because I wear a fur coat:) Okay, I'll stop boring you with my unexciting life. Have a pawsome weekend everyone!

New pix

Well, mom finally got around to do our St. Patty's Day pictures... if that's what you want to call it. She has been really busy lately so she didn't have much time. She essentially plopped me down on a green towel and said "stay". Of course, I didn't want to listen to her and kept walking away. She finally got me though as you can tell. We both apologize for the lack of creativity in this photo and promise to do better for Easter.

Nothing new around here. Family poker game yesterday, but no one bothers me and I just sleep through the entire game.

Ouch!

So yesterday dad loaded me into the crate and put me in the car with Chloe'. I knew exactly where I was going! I don't leave the house or go in the portable crate except to go to the vet and this wasn't making me happy. And why was dad taking me? Needless to say, I cried the entire way. I was making dad crazy and he turned up the radio to try and drown me out (didn't work!) Chloe' kept looking at me whimpering, trying to calm me but that didn't work either. When we arrived at the vet, they took both of us upstairs and the vet did Chloe' first. He was doing something to her mouth, but I wasn't sure what. Shortly after, he came for me. I tried to hide in the back of the crate, but he found me. First he just checked me out and I thought "this isn't to bad", but then the nightmare started! First, I got a shot in the butt... OUCH! After that, he started messing with my mouth just like I saw him do with Chloe'. First he scrapped them then he used some brush on them with some yucky tasting stuff. I tried to get away, but he held me tight and I couldn't escape no matter how hard I tried. When he was all done, my mouth really hurt. Dad picked us both up and as on the ride down, I cried all the way home. I didn't stop until dad put me back in my crate and let me tell you, I was never so happy to see my crate in my life! I stayed in there until mom got home. She petted me really soft and knew I didn't feel good. She held me and that made me feel better, well, at least emotionally. I couldn't eat because my mouth hurt and this morning mom gave me medicine to help with the pain. I must admit, I'm starting to feel a little better. I'm glad too because I am hungry! Hopefully I don't have to go back there for a very long time. I know mom does it to keep me healthy, but I really don't like at. At least I wasn't alone this and had my Chloe' with me:)

Pictures again

So, mom brought this bear that was singing and it totally freaked me out! Then she put me beside it with a box that had something in it that mad noise, so that freaked me out too. Although, I must say that whatever was in the box sure did smell good:) She wanted me to stay sitting nice beside this stuff, but I wanted no part of it! Mom kept snapping pictures, but I wouldn't look at her or smile at all. I really hate posed pictures. I like the candids better, but mom said we had to have our Valentine's picture for my page so it's here now. Not my best photo, but I guess it works. Mom and her camera, what am I going to do with her?

The birds lost:(

So, last night I was laying on the sofa with mom and dad watching the Super Bowl. Dad was for the Steelers and mom was for the Cardinals (I call them "birds"). She is really a Patriots fan, but since her team didn't make it and she doesn't like the Steelers at all, she was cheering for the birds. I was for the birds too, how could I not be, I'm a cat! Mom wasn't too happy for most of the game, but got really excited when the birds went ahead. She jumped up and screamed! Now normally, that would freak me out and I would take off up the steps, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The birds were finally winning and I just had to see what happened. Needless to say, you all know the outcome and sadly the birds didn't win:( Although, they made a valent effort in the 4th quarter. Oh well, at least they made it a good game.

Yeah, no vet!!!

I am soooooo happy!!! Mom said I don't have to go to the vet this week:D It is time for my yearly exam and mom had it scheduled for Wednesday, but she said that she rescheduled for next month. Really good news for me this week, but also bad news for next month. She said the reason she cancelled is because next month I also have to get my teeth cleaned... YIKES!!!! I don't like going to the vet to begin with, but to have him mess with my teeth is even worse! But, mom reminds me that I have to go and get my shots and teeth cleaned so I stay healthy. I guess it's a small price to pay to stay around longer with my family. For now, I'll just bask in the glory of not having to go this week:)

Where's dad?

Well, I can't seem to figure out what's up? Dad has been gone for a couple of days. He left on Sunday and I haven't seen him since. Not that I'm complaining mind you because mom let's me out more, but I am curious. Mom did say that he'll be back for the weekend though. I'll kind of be glad because Chloe' is driving me crazy. Every little noise sends her barking and growling like crazy. I guess she's on high alert to protect me and mom since dad is gone. That's kind of good because I know she won't let anyone hurt us, but also bad because she when I'm finally falling asleep, she barks and wakes me up. Oh well, guess I'll just have to deal with it until dad gets home.

Not much else going on here. Like I said before, I lead a pretty boring life and to be honest, that's the way I like it. Mom hasn't taken any pictures since the holiday and said she hasn't had a chance to put some old ones on yet even though she has a scanner. She said she will soon though. Oh yeah, my friend Sissle who was sick is better now and I'm happy about that:) Other than that, nothing new. Hopefully next time I write I have something more exciting for you.

Oh no... bath time!!!

So, I'm just laying in my crate minding my own business when mom gets me out and heads to the bathroom. Needless to say, I totally FREAKED OUT!!! I knew what was coming when she put me in the tub. I HATE BATHS!!! Well, I screamed for help as loud as I could and Chloe' came to my rescue... I LOVE MY DOG! So she came over to the side of the tub and I reached for her and grabbed her neck. The stupid dog pulled back and left me there to be swallowed up by the demon tub. I HATE MY DOG! I couldn't believe she just left me like that. Mom got the showhead and started to wet me down. I assumed the position, which for me is front paws on the side of the tub and back paws on the bottom - trying desparately to climb the wall! But the wall is too slick so I am stuck there while mom washes me down. She said I smelled like pee and I wasn't allowed back in bed until I was clean again. I don't know why I smelled like that, but I must admit, I did a little. Anyway, I continued to scream and holler for someone to save me, but no one did. Mom was finally finished with her torture of me and scooped me up in a towel. Now, this part I like:) I do like being all wrapped nice in warm in the towel while mom rubs me dry. It's a really nice feeling. After I was toweled off, mom left me in the bathroom where it was warmest to dry a bit. Chloe' came in and kept me company and helped dry me off by licking me. Not that I really needed her help, but it was nice to have her in there with me, even if she did abandoned me during my time of need. Hey, that's a dog for you. Needless to say, I had quite the exciting weekend with the bath. Hopefully I don't have to get another one anytime soon. Mom usually only gives me one a couple times a year since I'm in indoor cat, but even that is a couple times too many for me! But I must admit, I do feel better now all clean and smelling like a rose:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! My New Year's Eve was nice. I just spent it hanging out with mom, dad and Chloe'. Of course, as you can see from my photo, mom put a stupid thing on my head for a picture. But I didn't mind much because she only made me do it once. I hope everyone had a good New Year's and wishing all the best of luck in 2009!
