Food!

I hate winter cuz i hafta stay inside more, or well, i like to stay inside more, my pretty fur gets wet and it makes me stressed, then my skin gets dry, BUT Dad gives me lotsa good TREETS and food in the winter, he sez terkie iz not gud for catts evry day but i love the way it tastes and luv when dad's family has takesgibbin dinner! terkie is so good!

Life without Selby/Matty the Huntress

It's weird, I know she is not coming back home, but dad says we'll see her again sometime, and that everycat, well every alive thing goes where she went as time goes by. Pops brushed me and Furminated me good today, it was nice, I had some Greenies, the ones in the pink bag taste like the pink fish meat dad sometimes likes that gramps is good at making.

I keep seeing Selb's pillow and expecting her to be there glaring at me, but no, just some wisps of her fur is the only thing there. I like feeling more free to get up on the bed and hang out with dad. Selby was very protective of him, and since I was sometimes mean to her, she held a grudge and would glare at me or hiss if i got too close.

Either way, I'm pretty lonely when dad goes to do his job out of the house. I hope he doesn't get some cat and try to make it my sister or brother. Selby and Me had differences, but there was a peace between us, of some kind. Pops teased me about gettin something called a furret, he said they are stinky weezuls, and have weird long bodies and fangs. He was teasin tho i think. If a weezul came to my room I would attack it without any thought to leaving it alive, because i know how to fight and survive. Aaron told me he respects me abilities, but that I can't go around killing everybody I see, like the chippie I wanted to eat and play with 2 hot-times ago. I brought it up next to my food and messed with it, dad found it, water came out of his eyes and he said I shouldnt uh done that. I hurt that Chipmunk badly, I don't know my own strength. Dad had lots of water in his eyes and took the stick that makes a loud scary noise out of the box its in. He said the Chip shouldn't be made to suffer. I was mad he took my catch away, and scared of the thunder he made with that thing, but he said it was "merssiful" to make the chipmunk have peace, I had no clue what he meant, but he stayed upset about the whole thing for days, though he told me he wasn't mad at me, and i was just doing what catz do outside.

oh well, it has been watery outside, but not as cold on my feet, so i have been smelling the wind and stuff, watching out for Tiger, who has a fort on his mom and dad's porch where he hangs out with Ron, who is his human dad, when Ron is working on his fort.

I don't know when Selby and me will see each other again, but I sorta wanna say sorry for bein a jerk sometimes, and that it's lonely here without her, even tho dad is great and things are warm and theres more food than i even think about when i go and sleep!

Dad got a black thing put on his arm to remember Selby

He says it's an ess, whatever that it. It means something to do with Sel's name. I think he's crazy, I would never, ever put stuff on my fur that never comes off! He says he wants to put more black marks that remember Selby on that one arm. It looks neat though, and he keeps putting medicine on it to make sure it looks good after the redness goes away....people are weird.

Selby went away :(

Daddy is very upset, water is coming out of his eyes all the time. He took Selby to the doctor last week, and kept visiting her there, but he told me she's an angel kitty now. She was sick, and would never feel very good ever again, so dad said she went to sleep. Well maybe we'll see each other again someday, but for now, I'm lonely, and dad keeps making water come out of his eyes and making loud noises. I don't know what to do....

Selby and I are getting closer after all these years.

Maybe we're simply tired of competition. I love the ol' girl, I really do, but she's so bitter about our past fights and spats! I wait until she's sleeping soundly, and for the first time in years, I've begun to cuddle up and nap as closely as possible with her. When she wakes, she looks at me quizzically.

Tiger is such a gross boy!!

I wish the neighbors would get him fixed!! He's been their outdoor cat for @ least 2 years, he sorta adopted them and I think they don't wanna get too attached to him. He's well fed, but prowls the 'hood @ night and yowls outside my window, espousing his undying...er, love I guess for me!! My sister is nearly deaf, and she's not his type, so they just kinda ignore each other, but Tiger is ALL OVER ME, whenever I go out and he's always making unwanted advances!!!!! What a little jerk! Dad sometimes will scare him off, but dad also feels bad for Tiger, he's a misfit, and slightly aggressive........ARRGGHHH

My new Play N Squeak Mouse! Thanks Dad!

Dad got me a stuffed mouse that emits the same volume and freekwencey (whatever that it) that a real fieldmouse makes! He said it was a little 'spensive for a kitty toy but he knew I would luv it! and I do! I go nuts with my toys so dad tied some yarn to its tail and connected it to my cardboard scrather that I sometimes sleep on. I bat at it, kick it, bite it and every time it moves it lets out s shreik like a real mouse. I'm such a hunter, it's the coolest thing dad has ever got me I think.! I'm gonna go play right meow!!!

so cool, Selby doesn't like it 'cuz she's pretty much deaf and can't hear it, but it makes me feel wild!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Day Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha! I love it! And people think Washington weather is all doom and gloom all the time! Selby and me have called a sunny-day truce and agreed to enjoy each other's company and let each other know if we find a particularly comfy patch of warm sun in the house! Dad just made me breakfast and we had some Greenies and watched the birds outside through the screen door. I feel bad, the birds are so cute, but I have an urge inside of me to run after them and tear them apart! It's so hard to be good when the ol' Feline nature kix in!

Tiger came by yesterday to say hi, dad says he gives me attention because of those things that hang down by his butt, dad sez he isnt "fixt", I guess that means he can make babies with girls or something. Dad sneacks him food when ron and sue are away and brings Tiger special dinner sometimes. I don't mind sharing, he has had a ruff life, like how I used to be and even though he likes me in a gross way, he's a nice boy and we talk sometimes. Dad says Tiger wants to do more than cuddle, which grosses me out, but Sel says she has my scruff if anything ever goes down. That's sweet that sis would defend me, but she can hardly hear, so if I was in trouble, I'd count on dad or grampa to bail me out, not Sel.
Anymeow, the sun is out and I've got sumthin I can meow about!!!!!!!!!

I love food!

Dad is so nice! He always gets me all kinds of good foods, wet, dry, treats you name it! I'm worried about my kittenish figure though...I walked by the glass door the other day and caught a glimpse of my thighs...ugh purrmaow! I just came from a life where food was whoever you could catch, a sparrow of chippie, and meals were far between, so when dad took me in, he really spoiled me fast. Selby, my sis has digestive issues, and is sensitive to most wet food, so I get the best of it. My current faves are Pro-plan chicken and rice in the little cans, and Nutro Max Hunter's Stew with Venison. I never had deer before daddy rescued me, and it's real tasty, though I really don't care what flavor or brand I eat, as long as pops fixes me breakfast as soon as he rolls out of bed! Sometimes, I'll eat conservatively, and let ol' Selby have some gravy, I pretend like I'm full, but I secretly want to share with her, because, although I stalk and ambush her (she can't hear), I love her deep down, even more than I loved my real sibs, because Selby and I can finish each other's meows, even though her voice is funny because she can't hear too much. MOL :)

I need to sometimes meow NO though when dad breaks out the Greenies, or the Whiskas Temptations, it's all those extra cals that make my rump big, even though Tiger says my butt looks fine...he's a perv like that sometimes! I just feel lucky, and so sad for kitties who are out on their own, with no sister, and no dad or gramma-human to show them love...I'm so lucky! and I LOVE TO EAT!!! Praise be to tiny cans of wetfood goodness!

Tiger the Tomcat

Daddy's friends Ron and Sue next door got adopted a couple years back by Tiger. I think he's offspring of a feral and a housecat. He's not fixed, and I think I, uh, "excite" him sometimes. I know he just wants a friend, but he makes me really uncomfortable. I'll be having lunch next to the screen door and he'll come and stare at me like some object, and make long warbling gross noises! He's such a boy! Last week, dad was getting out of the water sprayer and me n' Selby were drinking water upstairs, we all heard a food bowl clanking downstairs, so dad and I ran down to see what was up. All we saw was Tiger's butt exiting swiftly out the back door! The little bandit came in and polished off my lunch while I was taking a breather! Can you believe it?! I was so mad that he invaded our space. I think dad is too sympathetic. Ron and Sue don't let Tiger in their house much and they feed him an "average" cat food. He never gets wet food unless daddy takes him a special can of dinner to eat outside when Ron and Sue are out of town. Tiger is a handsome boy, he has short hair and he's very fit, his friend Jack is a huge dog up the way, and Jack loves Tiger, but gives him plenty of exercise by chasing him around the neighborhood. I don't think Tiger would hurt me, but I hate it when dad calls him my "boyfriend". Boycats are gross! I'm a tuff-grrl and I don't need a boyfriend anyway....
