AUTUMN AMELIA'S DIARY

I am a pirate!

Ahoy! Santa Paws brought me my very own pirate ship for Christmas. (Pictures on my page above). Meowmy said it doesn't matter that I'm a girl. I can still be a pirate because there was an Irish woman pirate named Grace O'Malley. I'm going to be just like her. I'm going to sail the high seas searching for treasure and store my loot in the hold of my ship. I will wield a cutlass and challenge anyone who tries to capture my ship. I just have to figure out how to get onboard the top deck without tipping the ship over on myself.

I Might be a Plumber

I like the things that hold water and I want to understand how they work. For example when Meowmy first brought me home, she had a thing she called a humidifyer in her room. It had a container that held water. I was very interested so one day while she was at work I got busy trying to figure out how it worked. So, I took the whole thing apart. I'm not sure if I understand how it operated, but the filter was tasty.

I've been trying very hard to take apart our water fountain. That doesn't come apart easily, but I've seen Meowmy do it when she cleans it and puts in fresh water. I have to argue with Smokey about this, though, because she's sooooo fussy about the fountain. She thinks it's all hers just because she refuses to drink from anything but running water. She hisses at me when I try to work on the fountain. It's a bit distracting, but I just try to ignore her and go on about my business.

Anyway, I decided that I would tackle the most impressive water holder in the house. Meowmy calls it the toilet. It's amazing. Whenever the humans push the handle the water swirls around, disappears for a few seconds and then comes back. I must learn how this works.

Two nights ago while everyone in the house was asleep I began my investigation. I do believe that in order to understand how something works it must first be disassembled. So that's how I started. There are some funny looking things, "bolts" I think they are called that hold the toilet to the floor. So the first order of business was to remove them. It was very hard work and took a long time. I got two of them off as well as some flat disks that I think are called "washers". I was exhausted after all that work and had to take a break.

Right now that's as far as I've gotten, but I have not given up. I am determined to completely dismantle the toilet and find out how it works. If anycat has any suggestions, please let me know.

Thanksgiving Tag Game

Ishtar has tagged me for the Thanksgiving game. I'm supposed to tell five things I am thankful for then tag five friends to do the same.

1. I am thankful for food. I love food. Food is yummy. I eat all I can get, even Smokey's.

2. I am thankful for windows to sit in and watch everything that goes on outside.

3. I am thankful for my guardian angel, Amelia. I love you Auntie Amelia!

4. I am thankful that I am now bigger than my wonderful big sister, Smokey. (It's probably because I eat all her food, hee-hee-hee!)

5. I am thankful to know that Ishtar obviously doesn't just like me, she LOVES me because this is the second time she's asked me to play a tag game with her. I love you, too, Isthar!

Now I'm going to tag: My auntie Amelia, Sparkman, Julie, Itty Bitty Kitty and Cinderella.
