The tag game begins!

My friend Roland tagged me cuz were buddies, so here is a list of what I like in life:

1. I like when my food bowls are full, sometimes I eat so fast I make a mess on the floor and the maid has to clean it up.

2. My favorite thing is to wait until mom is asleep and then get up on top of the armoir near her bed and take a flying leap and land right on her belly! All 20 pounds of me. She never gets mad at me, even after she catches her breath.

3. I allow my sister Tonka to play with all my toys while Im at the food bowl.

4. I love my grammaw and grampaw, they take very good care of me while mom and dad go away on vacation. Grammaw knows how to overflow my bowls real well. Im pretty sure Im her favorite grandson.

5. Besides eating, I actually love having baths and being blown dry. Santa Pawz gave me the Furminator for Xmas and I love it. I cant believe all the hair that comes off me and I just leave it for the maid to clean up. But I feel super after:)

6. My favorite toy is a homemade bow from my mom, I love the krinkle sound they make and love to carry them around in my mouth. They always end up being dumped in my water bowl, I like to see the water change color. Dont worry, the maid is there to clean my water bowl and give me fresh water. I keep her real busy.

7. Final entry before I retire for the evening, I love all my new friends on catster! Especially Roland, George Duggan, Lucy, Piggles, Meow, Kitty, well, the list is endless, but Im glad I have all my new fur friends and I will see ya all around the cat park! Stay well fed and happy for 2009! Meow for now, Love, Tate ps.....Polydactyls #1!

I feel faint!

Well, it finally happened:( My mom is listening to what the vet said about my weight and has stopped giving me my favorite canned food. Looks like "09 is not starting out to well. I think the vet scared her alittle with all the problems that could start to go wrong with me. Iwas trying to tell her not to listen to him and that he doesnt know what he is saying, but she didnt hear me. So to get back at my mommie last night, I jumped around her bedroom all nite and played with invisible lights and chewed at her pajama ties that tickled her belly. My favorite thing I did was the incredible 20 lb flying cat jump that I did off the armoir right onto her stomach. Woohoo! That definately woke her up but she still didnt get up and fed me my favorite canned food. For the finale, I threw up the dry food right near her slippers. Still no canned food:( I need lots of support and prayers to get me through this starvation period. I'll keep all my fur friends posted on may weightloss, if there is any. I still think Im just big boned:) Meow for now! Love, unfed Tate

My cuteness worked!

Woohooo!!!! Iwas fed my canned food!!! I worked real hard at melting moms heart and making her feel bad that I wasnt being fed my favorite canned food. I would stare into her eyes and lift my big paw alittle and give out the most sadest little cry, and now I can say it worked! Wherever mom was, I was, that was my game plan. Then at night time I tried to keep her awake by playing with my catnip toys or trying to catch the ball in the plastic round thing or just by scratching the carpet. Finally, last night she gave in and I ate and ate and ate. I heard mom talking to dad and she thought I was losing weight, all dad did was grunt so Im not sure if he agreed with mom or not. Either way, I got my canned food again this morning! Its gonna be a good day:) I just wanted to keep all my fur friends posted so no one will worry that I am wasting away to nothin'. All is good in Tate land! Everyone have a great day and I'll purr back at you later. Love, full bellied Tate:)

Purrs and Prayers

Purrs and prayers to all my Austrialian friends, I hope all of you are safe and not in harms way of the tragic fire that is going on. We are all so sad to hear of the news and of all the loss that is happening. Our hearts go out to all and wish you all safety and pray that you are all ok. You are in our thoughts and prayers, Love, Tate and TOnka and family

Me and my buddy Roland are stumped or shrimped

My buddy Roland and me have been trying to figure out who's been shrimpin' us? We both love shrimp and we are just trying to figure out who the shrimpinator is? Maybe they will leave a clue for us to help find out who this is. Me and Roland will just keep eating till we can solve this one. Thanks for the shrimps Shrimpinator! Tate and his best bud Roland

Shrimpinator

Shrimpinator if you are out there, give us a clue to who you are! Me and Roland have been racking our brains out trying to figure out who you are!!! I think we are even starting to lose weight over it. Send us more shrimp and some clues!!!!! We love being shrimped:)

Hi all, my mom posted new pictures of how handsome I am and she told me to tell you all to check me out:) Love, Tate.......and if you have time, feel free to sign my guestbook:) Meows and purrs!

Lots O' snow and low on food

Its been snowing since yesterday and we have alot of snow now, its filling up infront of my window that I look out. Im getting a little nervous because I am running low on food and I heard my mom saying that she wasnt going out in this stuff. I wonder if grocery stores make deliveries? Hopefully the snow stuff will stop and she will journey out to get me more food, I will just have to work on putting on the charm to her. But for now, I will eat and we will just have to see what happens. Lots of things to scratch and chew so I have a busy day ahead of me. I'll purr back at you later to let you know if I am being starved or not. Bye for now, Love...Handsome Tate

I'm Exhausted

I am all tired out! Me and mom woke up to a nice, almost spring day, and that made her go into cleaning mode. I being the helpful man that I am, helped her do all the cleaning. She needs to learn not to put the swifter box where I can get at it, I dont know how many little swifter pads I stole today but I sure made mom run after me alot. The only thing I let her do on her own is the vaccuuming-that she can have. Cleaning the windows was fun, I left lots o' lick marks on them after she was done. My sister Tonka just laid around all day and slept while me and mom did everything. All this cleaning has built up an appetite for me so now I am off to feast. Hope everyone has a pleasant day and enjoys the nice weather. Spring is on the way! Later, Tate

G'morning

If you read my diary yesterday you will see that me and mom spent all day cleaning the house. While we were cleaning all day, my sister Tonka just laid around and slept on the bed. Well, me and mom didnt go to bed till late last night and guess what was on our newly washed comforter? Puke! EEEwwww, and lots of it. So back in the wash it went, we dont know why she has to throw up on freshly washed things but its not fun finding it late at night. Well, my belly is rumbling from starving so I am off to have a nice, filling breakfast.......Have a good day! Tate
