		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its been a very busy spring so far.  The baby wrens have hatched and mama wren has been busy feeding them.  Us kitties have been busy hanging out by the back door, listening to the bird chirps!

And this week mom & dad are pet sitting 2 dogs and 1 cat.  Its that nasty old black cat that they watched before.  She seems to hate me and I hate her!  Mom says we need Jackson Galaxy to do a cat intervention! We've mostly just been hissing at each other, but today she chased me down the basement and I had to hide to avoid giving her the ol' smacky paw!  I sure hope she's gone soon.

Thanks to all my pals who sent gifties!! Sorry I didn't get to send out my own but mom has had her hands full lately and didn't have time to type for me.

Hugs to you all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup, its true!!  The little wren that made its nest in our garage now has some eggs in there.  Does this make me a daddy? MOL!  I overheard mom on the phone with dad tonight discussing it.  They both seem to be a little upset about this development.  How strange!  

I think its cause for celebration!!  Let's have a pawty! Break out the chicken wings....ummm...maybe that is in poor taste.  OOOOH taste! Imagine delicate birdies.... (Julius drools)  Ok, so maybe THAT is why mom isn't thrilled about the baby birdies.  I did hear her say all their cheep-ing is going to drive us bonkers.  And I stand by the back door and meow as it is.  Mom thinks she'll have to keep a water bottle close by just to make sure none of us kitties get any ideas.  Boy, moms know how to ruin all our fun, don't they?

Well, I gotta go rest up. That bird wakes me up purrty darn early with all its birdy music!

Hugs to you all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!  

Hope everycat is enjoying the autumn....although soon it will be winter! 

My bout with the fleas seems to be over and my fur is growing back in.  I had an allergic reaction to da flea bites and that caused me to pull some of my nice Orange Julius fur out :( But the good news is that I'm getting fluffy again!  Mom says now I just need to grow my tail feathers back in.  What a silly mom!! Why does she say these weird things? As IF I had feathers! 

Oh, and last week mom found some funny little things on Pixie's rump.  Mom suspected.....worms :o and she was right!! Guess Pix got icky worms from ingesting the fleas.  So she had to give not only Pixie a pill but ALL of us got the stupid wormie pill.  Ugh! Thanks a lot Pix!!

But now we all seem healthy again and mom says PHEW!  

I gotta go, time to snuggle with mom.
Hugs to everyone,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my friends! I haven't gotten to write in my journal for quite awhile thanks to mom and her "busy schedule." (rolls eyes!)  And you notice I call it a journal, NOT a diary, cause diaries are for girlies! MOL!

Mom has noticed that I've been scratching and grooming myself a lot lately.  Then she did a close inspection and found that I have some patches where my fur is thin, like I've over-groomed or scratched too much and lost fur there.  I don't have fleas so mom thinks its an allergy. She also noticed my brother Harry's paw pads are suddenly dry and look flaky.  So she's wondering if the litter she bought is bothering us both??  We had been primarily using a natural corn cob litter, but mom bought some commercial clumping litter.  She thought maybe that was drying out Harry's paws??  

Also, for our canned food she actually bought some cheaper grocery store brand rather than the grain free stuff she had been giving us.  Money's been tighter this year and she was trying to save. (where's that head bonking rolling pin?!) Mom knows what all those grains can do, but she saw so many of her friends feeding their cats that brand with no problem that she thought she could try it with us.  Buttttttttt......now she thinks that is at the root of my itchies.  So she went online and order us some of the good (expensive!) stuff.

Do any mom's out make their own food for kitties? If so, do you have any advice for a meal for a very finicky cat like me?  I won't even eat roast chicken.  Mom secretly wonders if my sense of smell is off! MOL!!

And finally.....on to the Witchie! My pawrents are cat sitting that black devil cat again.  I don't care for her and I've been very vocal about it.  That makes her chase me then.  Usually she gets me trapped in a corner and then I start screaming bloody murder.  Mom's had to keep her closed up in the spare bedroom to keep the peace.  We were ok at the start of the week but then she got braver and nastier with me :(  At least she goes home today - YAY!

Hey, thanks for reading my ramblings.  Hope you all have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a rotten weekend.  Mom went to visit Grandma and left us home alone.  Dad was working so it was a boring weekend for us.  And I had to miss the Olympic events over at KCK.  So bummed about that!!

The worst part is that mom came home smelling like Grandma's cats.  She seems to be really taken with the one kitty, Porter.  
Here's 2 pics mom took while she was there:

<a id="img1506682893"  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert(\'Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.\');" href="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/susanko/porter.jpg" onmouseover="var el = $j('#img1506682893');var c=String.fromCharCode;var q=c(34);var l=c(60);var r=c(62);var a=c(39);var p=c(43); el[0].onmouseover = null; var n=$j(document.createElement('div')); n.insertBefore(el); n.html(''.concat(l, 'img src=', a, 'http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330', '/susanko/porter.jpg', a, ' /', r, l, 'BR /', r));">Porter 1</a>

<a id="img8096200581"  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert(\'Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.\');" href="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/susanko/porter2.jpg" onmouseover="var el = $j('#img8096200581');var c=String.fromCharCode;var q=c(34);var l=c(60);var r=c(62);var a=c(39);var p=c(43); el[0].onmouseover = null; var n=$j(document.createElement('div')); n.insertBefore(el); n.html(''.concat(l, 'img src=', a, 'http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330', '/susanko/porter2.jpg', a, ' /', r, l, 'BR /', r));">Porter 2</a>

Jeez, just cause he's floofier than I am....you don't think I have anything to worry about, do you???  I mean, mom belongs to ME right?? I suppose he is kinda cute, but I'm mom's orange ball of fluff...she couldn't like another kitty better than me??

Grandma's 2nd kitty is Blue.  He has 2 extra toes on each paw.  Mom says when he grabs a toy it looks like a venus fly-trap with all those claws.  Mom likes him too, but I think she's more partial to Porter. 

<a id="img1519332219"  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert(\'Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.\');" href="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/susanko/blue.jpg" onmouseover="var el = $j('#img1519332219');var c=String.fromCharCode;var q=c(34);var l=c(60);var r=c(62);var a=c(39);var p=c(43); el[0].onmouseover = null; var n=$j(document.createElement('div')); n.insertBefore(el); n.html(''.concat(l, 'img src=', a, 'http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330', '/susanko/blue.jpg', a, ' /', r, l, 'BR /', r));">Blue</a>

Grandma has a third kitty, Willow, but mom didn't get a picture of her.  She's an old girl, in her teens, but is just as feisty as when she was a kitten.

Well I declare this Porter cat to be my archenemy!! If I ever meet him in a dark alley why I'd shred him!!  Imagine, MY mommy fawning all over him.  HRMPH!!!

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I'm off to beg for treats ;)

PS...I furgot to mention my group emails aren't getting sent to mom's email again.  Sheesh! Is anyone else having this problem?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had the most pawsome adventure today!  Mom got home from work and fed us dinner and then she decided to take the dogs for a walk before it got dark.  My dog brofur Josey was really excited and farted in the house so mom decided to take them out the back door into the yard before their walk so he could take care of his business.  Normally mom heads out the front door when she walks the doggies.

Well mom must not have pulled the back door closed right because when she returned from her walk she brought the dogs back into the yard and lo and behold she sees Harry on the deck. The doggies quickly herded him into the garage and mom ran up and closed the door.  By the time she did that, Harry was already in the house.  She shut the back door tightly and then started calling all the kitties.  Coco came right out and then Pixie popped up.  But where was I????  Mom knows how fascinated I am with the outdoors so she got all panicked and started running thru the house turning on lights (by this time the sun was already setting) and yelling JULIUS JULIUS JULIUS!!! But I wasn't there!  She ran down the basement...nope, still no me.  Then she got the bag of treats out and started shaking them while yelling at the top of her lungs JULIUS!!!

But I did not show up.  So she went back out into the garage and called me and shook the treats.  Still no me.  Then she said "Oh God, please not Julius!!" And she opened the back door of the garage and SURPRISE! THERE I WAS! I was waiting at the door for her.  So I sauntered on into the garage and mom was all "omg, Julius! Thank God!!" And I meowed at her and she gave me 2 treats.  Then she scooped me up in her arms and kissed and kissed and hugged me.  I have to say, she sure knows how to welcome me home!

Mom took me in the house and gave me more treats.  I know she's wondering what I was up to but I'm not telling!!

Oh and mom found another dead mousie this morning.  This time at the bottom of the basement steps.  Mom's not happy at all.  And now she says she has a splitting tension headache.  Sheesh, what a silly mom!!  These humans need to learn to enjoy the fun stuff in life!

Phew, I'm beat.  Time for a catnap!
Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy! Big excitement at our house tonight.  Mom came home from work to find half of a mouse on the kitchen floor!!!  Oh yeah, we had a mouse in the house and one of us caught it!!  Mom is mortified that a mouse got in the house.  She feels the need to assure everyone that we have NEVER had a mouse in the house before (trust me, I know nothing's ever been THIS exciting around here!!)

Mom is being typical mom about the whole thing.  She of course googled "dangers of cats eating mice" and now is worrying like crazy. She's nervous that perhaps that mouse had ingested poison before coming into our house or that it carries tapeworms or other parasites.  Mom is watching us all like a hawk cause she has no idea which of us ate half that mousie.  It even could have been one of the doggies.  Mom's also obsessed with finding out how this mouse got into the house in the first place.  Why can't mom's just chill and let us enjoy the FUN things in life? How come she's not as excited about this as we all are?  Sheesh! What a spoil-sport.  

Well I gotta go cause mom wants to check down in the basement to see if she can figure out where that mousie came from and see if she can find the other half of it.  I sure am not telling!!!

Meow to ya later!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My birthday was on the 6th and I had a fabulous day! I got extra kitty milk and mom gave me my favorite food for dinner.  YAY! And she spent lots of time with us kitties last week. (well, when she wasn't at stinky work!) We all were demanding lots of attention & play time.  The weather has been getting warmer and mom says us kitties have spring fever.  Perhaps we do!

A big thank mew and headbonks to all of you who stopped by to make my birthday special!! I truly loved all the birthday wishes and zealies!  The best part of my birthday was being able to share it all with you!!

Hugs & purrs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm going to be 5 years old on March 6th! Mom can't believe it.  She wants to know where the time went....seems like just yesterday I was an itty bitty kitten. 
Mom bought me an early b-day present...its a big round circle thing.  At first I was a bit scared of it, but then she sprinkled some catnip on it and I went over to investigate.  There's a cardboard circle in the middle that is SO much fun to scratch.  And around that circle is another plastic circle with a ball in it.  Its lots of fun to bat that ball round and round.  Mom said its also for the other kitties too, since Coco just celebrated her bday and Pixie's is coming up in April.  So, I did share with them....but then I got back at them...hee hee hee.  I was playing Julius the tyrant today.  Its a really fun game...for me! I chased Coco around, smacked at Harry and then bit Pixie on the neck.  Dad caught me biting her and yelled at me.  He said I was making her eyes bulge out from biting her so hard.  Sheesh! I think he was exaggerating a little bit!
So mom wasn't too happy with my conquests today and said I was bad.  Its a good thing she already gave me my bday present! 
Well, time for me to go to bed.  Its tiring being a tyrant!
Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well so far 2012 has turned out to be as stinky as one of my brofur's poops!  I'm heartbroken that so many friends have been sick or made their way to the bridge. They (and especially their families) are all in my purrayers.

Mom has broken her new year's resolution to stop working so much.  I think she's worked even longer hours on 2012.  And I am SO not happy about that. I need more attention! It is not my fault that she works too long & is tired! Who cares about that? Doesn't she know its all about me???  So I have been quite vocal and demanding lately.  And she falls for it every time ;) Gotta love that Julius-mojo I got! Tee hee!

This weekend she had to run her mom to the hospital.  Nothing serious but they ended up admitting grandma for a day or maybe two. So of course I'm missing out on my weekend attention that I usually get.  Hrmph! Get well soon grandma so that mom can come home and pay attention to ME!! (Ok, so I'm a spoiled kitty!)

Hope you all are staying warm...our weather got very cold this weekend.  BRRR!  Time to find a sunny spot to take a nap!
Hugs to all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!

I'm so excited...mom is back.  She was at grandma's house for about 5 days and I missed her terribly.  Dad was here with me and I got lots of attention from him but I need both my pawrents at home!!  I'm just too much cat for only 1 human -mol!

Today when mom was home I plunked myself down in front of her and mewed my most sweet mew to her.  Then I added my sweet look and she was putty in my paws.  She said "Ok Julius I'll hold you for a little bit."  Ha ha! That was my plan.  As soon as she scooped me up I crawled on to her shoulders and sprawled out.  Since I could tell she was a little tense I decided to soothe her using my catupunture skills.  Performed correctly this is a great way to destress those humans.  Now they may whine and cry a little bit but that's just part of the process.  A little pain is necessary to work out those kinks! Tee hee! So I applied catupunture to mom's shoulder and she kept telling me to ease up on the claws...but nope! I just continued.  Someone has to help these silly humans relax!

Eventually I rested my head on her shoulder and then she decided it was time for me to go on the sofa before I fell asleep! Ahh...so nice to have my mom home again!

Hope you all had a great weekend.
Purrs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi everyone!

We got a very early snowstorm on Saturday...what a nasty Halloween trick!!!  Our area got about 8 inches of snow, which normally wouldn't be a big deal.  Unfortunately this was VERY heavy wet snow and also bad was that many of our trees still had their leaves.  The result? Lots of trees down due to the weight of the snow on the leaves and dragging the branches way down.

Because of this, we lost power around 2pm on Saturday.  We've been anxiously waiting for it to come back on.  Its been pretty chilly but at least our neighbors lent us a kerosene heater.  Mom says she's dying for a nice hot shower.  We haven't been on Catster in days! OMC! Mom agreed to write this on her lap top at work today so we'll have it keep it short.  Our utility company told us it should be back on by 11 pm tonight....keep your paws crossed!

Hope everyone is having a very Happy Halloween!

Purrs,
Julius & family]]></content:encoded>

I keep getting emails from Catster that says someone has sent me a pawmail....but when I go there...theres nothing there! OOOOOOOOOOOOOh! scary!  Or maybe somebody's been stealing my pawmails??? Oh no...a burgler! 

MOL!  I hope the ghostie burgler isn't stealing your pawmails too.

Oh and if you read my sisfur Pixie's diary you must know that what she said about me farting is just not true.  Surely it was the dog! ;)

As for wanting mom's attention well that applies for me too.  Mom's not sure if its the cooler temps or her working so long but we all have become very needy and attention seeking.  I run around meooooow meeeeeow meowing for mom to pick me up and when she does I either climb up on her shoulders for awhile or else she holds me and I wrap my paws around her arm.  Pretty cute huh?  That move makes her melt every time.  Tee hee!

Have a great weekend every fur!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by my sweet little pal Tabitha!!

A New Game- Lovebug Tag! To play, copy the 6 questions below and paste/answer them in your diary! Then tag some friends to play, too!

1. Meow! Are you a noisy kitty or a quiet kitty?
NOISY!!!!!! Dad gave me the nickname squawkbox because of how loud I am.  I meow for milk, for attention, at bugs, to go outside, and for my sister Pixie to come play with me.  I'm quite the vocal kitty!


2. Litterbox! Cover your business or let some other kitty cover? 
Cover my biz, of course!!

3. Happy! Favorite Daily Routine?
Breakfast, cat milk, PLAY!!, nappy time :)  Repeat at dinner time, 'cept I don't get the milk then.


4. Hiss! Least Favorite Routine?
Nail trimming time..nooooooooooooooo!

5. Ding-Dong! What do you think about visitors to your house?
Disappear when I hear the doorbell, but once everyone is settled in I come out to check out who dares to intrude on my domain!! 

6. Friends! Do you like other animals?
I like to wrestle and chase my siblings.  Unfurtunately sometimes I get too rough and then mom scolds me.  When I was a kitten I used to like my sisfur Lily (a doggy) We would wrestle and then I would nap with her.  

"Here are some friends that I am tagging! 
Everfurryone is welcome to play if you are reading this and you want to play, consider yourself tagged! Be sure to let your friends know they've been tagged by sending them a message or rosette! Angels can play, too! Tell us about your life at the bridge or your life at home before the bridge!"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi friends!  Well mom just spent all morning before work fixing our computer.  We got infected by some nasty virus that popped up a dummy Windows Vista repair window.

Fortunately mommy was able to do a System Restore and then cleaned the computer of that nasty bug.  But we wanted to warn everybody to be careful out there!  We were only on FB and Catster yesterday so we don't know where we picked this up.

Jeez, I sure would like to give those people who make malware or viruses a piece of my mind (or even better, introduce them to my claws!!)

Be careful my friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to go outside today!!!  It was big time fun for me.  Mom took me out on my harness for about 10 minutes.  She said it was too hot to stay out any longer, but I didn't mind the heat.

I'm getting used to walking on that green stuff now.  At first it used to tickle my toes but now I am trotting across it.  Mom thinks its hilarious that I meow the whole time I'm walking about.  Hey, I'm just excited!  Next time she takes me out she's going to try to make a video.

There was a fly that was fun to chase today.  I would have caught it too but that darn harness hinders my hunting skills. So I walked all around the yard (meow meow meow) and in mom's flower beds (meow meow) and finally under the bushes where I thought it would be nice to roll around in the dirt.  Mom didn't think that was so nice so then she scooped me up and took me inside.  It was still fun!

Oh and you should have saw the look Coco gave us when we came back in! Ha ha ha! Too bad you are too fat to fit in the harness!!  ~ahem~ sorry mom, I mean too bad Coco's too fluffy to fit.  ;)
Hope you all are staying cool.  Its 93 here today but they are promising a cooler day tomorrow.

Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Four years ago today mom & dad adopted me from the SPCA.  They had been in to see me earlier that week and fill out all the paper work and were anxiously awaiting to be told when they could come pick me up.  Finally they got the call that I was all ready so they drove out to get me right away.

They had to sit in the waiting room for the tech to bring me out.  After what seemed to be an eternity, he came out with little me.  He asked them if they had a name for me and they said "Julius".  He laughed and seemed to think that was a very fitting name for me already.  Then he told them that I was driving everyone nuts in the back room cause I was meowing and meowing.  Even as a tiny kitten I had a big mouth. MOL!!

When I came home, I was very loving toward mom.  Purrhaps I could sense that she needed some extra love.  She had lost her beloved Zoey earlier that year and was felt like a big hole was in her heart.  So I did my best to plug up that whole with my tiny orange fluff!!  Anyway, that 1st night, they thought I should sleep in the kitty carrier since I was so tiny.  Well, I told them what I thought of that!  Let's just say they didn't get much sleep that night & that was the last night I was stuck in the carrier!!! Hee hee!

Thank you all for helping me celebrate my gotcha day!!  Mom & I can't believe its been 4 years already.

Have a great weekend!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At the top of my grumpy list is getting my nails trimmed.  Mom attempted this on Sunday & it sure didn't go well.  She grabbed me and tried to trim the 1st nail. I screamed and yanked my paw back.  After a few tries she let me go, only to pick me up again and wrap me in a towel.  Every time I felt the clippers touch my nail I yeowled and pulled my leg back.  Then I started to growl and hiss. But mom persisted so I did what had to be done...I bit her.  She then tried to cover my face with the towel so that I wouldn't bite but I jerked my paw around like crazy so she couldn't cut it.  Frustrated she let me go.  Harry had come over to see what all the fuss was about.  I gave him a quick paw to the face. Mom heard my claws hit him and she yelled at me! 

So I avoided mom the rest of the day.  But then that night I came in bed & slept on top of her.  And I did the same last night too.  Today I crawled on her lap and was a very clingy baby.

But...later tonight I was on the steps trying to give Coco a good smack & my silly claws got stuck in the carpeting. I gave out a loud cry and mom came to help. Then she said "if you let me cut your claws this wouldn't happen." Well I gave her the grumpiest look I could muster and then took off down the steps. Sheesh!

And one other thing that makes me grumpy???? Not getting my emails when my nice furiends make comments on my pictures/diary. I'm still not getting them! This makes me feel quite the grumpy little monster. Growl!!

Hope you all are less grumpy than me.  I think mom intends to get dad's help & cut all my nails. Hiss growl yeowl!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish I had thumbs cause if I did I could give this new food 2 thumbs down!!!  Mom tried a new canned food that she thought I would like and I am totally snubbing it!  It did not pass the sniff test.  If mom would have looked closer at the ingredients she would have seen that there is stinky fish on the list. Yuck! I'm a turkey or chicken cat.  Don't go sneaking in any fish on me!!

I have been very purrsnickety about my food this week.  Mom thinks maybe I have a hairball so she's been giving me some of that hairball goo.  That's ok, I like that stuff!  Mom said she needs to make a spreadsheet to track all the different cat food she's tried with me.  Tee hee! I like to keep her on her toes!  In fact, lately I've been snubbing my favorite Thanksgiving day feast food.  Well I'm just tired of it.  Jeez, give me more variety mom! (not that I'll eat it! MOL!!)

In other news, Dad is away for 4 days.  This morning I let mom hold me the way Dad usually does. Normally I squawk at her if she tries this but since Dad's not here, I'll permit her to do this.  As long as she rubs around my ears too.  Oooooh yeah, that feels good!  

Hope you all have a pawsome weekend!  Mom has 2 more new foods for me to try, so I have a busy weekend of food snubbing ahead of me!  Hee hee!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a DDP on 5/2 - WOW! That was pretty cool!!  As mom can tell you, I sure do like attention MOL! Thank you all for your well wishes & gifts!! What a nice surprise!  I sure am a lucky kitty to have such wonderful friends!

Unfortunately I haven't been outside since last Friday...and I am totally bummed about that.  I've been telling mom very LOUDLY that I want to go out, but she keeps saying no.  I think its cause she found a tick on the dog. They get stuff put on them for flea/tick prevention, but us kitties do not.  Mom really doesn't want to put those chemicals on us since we are indoor kitties. (she doesn't like putting it on the doggies either but she's afraid they'll get Lyme disease if she doesn't)But my recent excursions on my leash have presented a new problem.  So mom said she's going to treat the yard with some spray she got and then MAYBE I'll be allowed outside again :(  Stoopid tick has ruined my fun.  

And speaking of fleas, I think Catster needs to get flea dipped! MOL! We're still not getting notifications for comments on our pictures & seems like the site it a little slower than usual....or purrhaps thats just my computer.

Thanks again everycat!  I love ya all!!
Purrs & hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my friends! Hope you all had a lovely Easter.  I got a nice surprise today - I got an Easter bunny on my page! It was sent anonymously so I will say THANK YOU in this diary entry.

My mommy gave me another surprise this afternoon....she bought me a harness.  At first I was like, yo, mom, whatcha think you're doin' puttin' that dog thing on me??? Why, I even gave her a crabby meow as she was doing it.  Once she got it on me she then attached a leash. WHAT???? Mom, I'm no doggy!!  Then she picked me up and carried me out to the backyard.  She set me down on the deck and then I furgot all about being insulted by her treating me like a dog!  I sniffed the deck, then I scampered down the steps.  I stopped right before I got to the green stuff.  Never hurts to be cautious I always say.  So I gave it a sniff and it seemed ok so I jumped down into the grass.

Oooh, it tickled my paws!  Hee hee! I went trotting over to the garden area and walked in the mulch.  Hey, that feels funny too! So many smells to sniff!!

Then all too soon mom picked me up & we went back inside.  She said if its nice tomorrow we will venture out again! Woooooooo! This is big fun!  And the best part is that I am the only kitty in the house who is gets this honor.  The harness is small and there's no way Harry or Coco could fit in it.  And Pixie's too much of a scaredy cat to try this. 

Spring! I loves it!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hee hee hee! Mom miscalculated how much cans of food we had left and she ran out before our delivery.  So we get to have kitty junk food until it comes.  She got it for us at the store & it came in these packets and I swear half of it was gravy.  WOW! Harry, Pixie and Coco kept jumping up on the counter as mom was trying to get the food in dishes!! Mom said don't get used to it.  We're going back on the healthy stuff as soon as the delivery comes.

Oh she also tried a different cat litter too.  Usually she buys the natural pine clumping litter but this time she got one of those "name brand" litters.  Peeeeeweh! Its so loaded with perfume.  UGH! We smell all flowery and mom hates scooping it cause she says she can taste the perfume.  Last time she'll buy that stuff!

Its hard for us to get healthy food - mom has to order it online as there are no pet stores closer than 40 minutes away.  And those are just Petco & Petsmart which don't carry the brands we get.  Mom's dream is to open up a healthy pet store.  She'd stock it full of healthy foods and treats, have books on diets, and staff to help educate the public about what those labels really mean.  Even flyers and pamplets on how to make your own food.  Also she would carry things like blood meal - an ingredient for many homemade doggy foods that is very hard to find around here.  Oh and of course lots of toys!  I'd be the official toy tester MOL!  

Well, that's just a dream for now....but maybe one day!
Hope you all had a pawsome weekend!

- Ended the day with snuggle time on Mom.

Most of all I want to thank all my friends for making my day so special!!  Extra big thank mews to all those who sent me wonderful gifts.  A kitty never can have too many party hats, shamrocks, cupcakes, shrimpies, & green ale.  Thanks to:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well shoot! I got into a wee bit of trouble the other morning.  Before I tell you the story, let me ask you this...those of you who have siblings, do you like to wrestle before breakfast?  The kitties in my house act quite crazy while we're waiting for our morning nom noms!  Here's how it goes:
Coco jumps up on the counter where mom is trying to open the cans & put the food in our dishes. So mom has to shoo her away...several times.
Pixie is rubbing against me or Harry which make us want to wrestle or chase her.  Then she squeals like a piggy when we accidentally bite her too hard.  And mom has to tell us to knock it off.
So anyway, the other morning.....I was chasing Pixie in the living room while waiting for breakfast and mom heard a CRASH! She came running & found the lamp on the floor.  Whoopsies!!  I didn't mean to do it, guess I just brushed against it too hard as I was running.
Mom was not pleased.  The part where the light bulb goes in was cracked.  Now she has to buy a new lamp.  Sorry mom!!
We just get so excited about breakfast! MOL!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There's a hobo living in our garage!!! Some silly little bird has decided to move in and its driving me bonkers.

Our garage is attached to the house and in order to get into the back yard you must first go thru the garage.  So when the humans let the doggies out, they go out the back door, into the garage and then out the back door of the garage.  Mom keeps the back door of the garage open while they are out doing their business so that she can hear them at the back door when they are ready to come in.  Apparently Mr. Hobo Bird was casing our house and learned the doggy's routine.  Mom suspected something was in the garage because she found insulation on the floor that the bird must have pecked out of the ceiling.

Then one day in the morning she got up & let the dogs out and she heard a fluttering noise.  Out flew a little Carolina Wren. I have been sitting at the back door every morning & trying to tell her there's an INTRUDER out there!!  Let me get rid of that little hobo!  But no, she makes me stay inside as usual.  Doesn't she know that technically the garage IS inside???  Jeez!  And now, she put a little container of birdie food out there for it.

The little intruder flies out in the am & then must fly in when mom opens the door for the doggies to go out after they eat dinner.  This is ridiculous.  I WANT THAT BIRD!!!  Mol!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Before mom & I started reading into it, we used to think that Holistic = "kooky".  Turns out we were wrong! MOL!  Now that we've done some research we realize that holistic is really just another option for care, and its a more natural option too.

Now don't get me wrong, I still have to go to the vet (yucko!) and get my check ups and shots, but mom also pays attention to holistic advice and incorporates that whenever possible & when it makes sense.  Sorry, but we aren't yet buying into the "healing with stones" stuff.  We're a bit dubious about that, MOL! But we do believe that nutrition, herbs & other natural approaches can be great to support cat health.

We found some great reading material on the Only Natural Pet Store's website.  They have newsletters & health articles that feature some helpful pet care info.
Here is the link to their newsletters:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My good friend Simone tagged me, so here it goes!

Name the 5 most annoying things your humans do, then tag 5 friends. Let's see how much humans annoy us all! hehehehe...

1) Trying to cut my nails.  I have worked hard to get these shaped just right & then mom comes along and tries to ruin them! Can't you tell by my squawking that I wanna keep them?
2) Picking me up when I didn't ask to be picked up.  Pay attention to my signs mom! 
3) Not playing with me when I ask to be played with.  Frankly I don't care if you're cooking dinner...get your priorities straight!
4) Putting silly hats on me when I am sleepy.  How dare you take advantage of my slumbering state??
5) Making me dance to music.  C'mon mom, cats don't dance!!

Truth be told, I don't get too annoyed by those humans...I love my pawrents too much! :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi my furry friends!

Do you know about Tiny Timmy? When he was a mere baby kitten someone put flea/tick stuff on him that cause him brain damage.  For such a tiny kitten he had an enormous struggle ahead of him.  You can read all about his story here: <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://tinytimmy.org/timm/">TT story </a>


Fortunately TT was adopted by wonderful owners who helped him heal. He still has brain damage, that is irreversible, but he's now safe and happy.

His owners have entered him into the Pepsi Refresh contest cause they wanna spread his story, share info with pet owners on non-toxic alternative and provide low cost/free products to those in need.

Pawlease vote for Tiny Timmy! It only takes a second!! You can vote here: <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.refresheverything.com/timmytouracrossamerica">vote for TT</a>

Thank mew all!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom & I have done a lot of research on cat foods, so we thought we'd share some resources that were helpful to us.  (She did the research and I did the taste testing MOL!)

http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=labelinfo101
http://cats.about.com/cs/catfood/a/tipsforchoosing.htm
http://catinfo.org/

Also the book Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats is helpful reading if you want even more information.

Unfortunately like many things, pet food is somewhat "buyer beware." If you've never looked into pet food ingredients, there's a lot that you don't know.  Don't feel bad for not knowing - mom didn't know all this stuff either.  It wasn't until she started reading that she found out exactly what makes up a good quality pet food. 

We could go on & on about this stuff but I need a catnap so that's all I'll say for now. ;)  The most important thing is to start reading on this stuff.  It will really open your eyes!

Gotta fo nap!
Purrs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh cats, this year is starting off with a bang!!  I can't believe I was a DDP on 1/3/11!!!  Thank mew all for the nice notes of concatulations! And of course extra thank mews to the following kitties for the super gifts they put on my page:
Sammy
Napoleon & Colorado
Simon
The Bush Furs
Finnegan & Family
Milo
Edwina & Family
Wyatt
Little Emma :)

My friends made my day super special! I love you all!!

Today was an exciting day again.  We got a special delivery from our sweet friends River & Simone....handmade catnip toys!!!  Well, when mom called us over to check them out, I was pretty sure I just heard her say MY name.  I mean heck, those other cats in my house haven't won anything...not like I have.  So surely all the catnip toys were for me, no??  First Pixie came over to give them a sniff & I gave her a good smack!  She ran and hid under the sofa.  Next Harry came over & tried to take my favorite one, the PINK one, so I gave him a couple of good whacks to send him running.  Coco knows better and stayed far away from me.

I had a pawsome time rolling around & licking the new toys.  But then I spied Pixie lurking around so I hunted her down! I wouldn't stop when mom said "NO!" I was a merciless, catnip crazed kitty!!  But....then mom caught up to me and grabbed me.  She actually stuck me in the bedroom for 10 minutes on a time-out!!  Can you believe it??? ME! Her sweet baby Jaybird.  Hrmph!

I sure did enjoy those catnip toys...big thank mews to River & Simone!!!  Can't wait to play with them again but now its time for my catnap!

Purrs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy 2011!!!!

I'm sorry if I haven't been around as much lately.  Mom was busy with lots of holiday stuff so my Catster time was cut.  So unfair!  But, now things are quieting down & I'm able to get my Catster time and get lots of attention from mom!  I love it.

I decided that I would be extra lovey to mom this year.  On new year's day I actually sat on her lap.  Now, yes, I sleep with mom almost every night, but I never sit on her lap!  So I thought I'd surprise her while she was watching tv and sit with her.  (Ok, truth is that Coco was sitting up on the top of the chair, where I really wanted to sit!! But shhhh! Don't tell mom!) We stayed like this for a couple of hours!! Mom wanted to get up, but didn't have the heart to move me ;)

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!  And I wish you all a very happy & healthy 2011!!

Purrs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

Thanks for all the purrs for my grandma.  I'm happy to say that she's feeling much better, so all those purrs worked!! I really missed my mom while she was staying at grandma's.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We woke up this morning to cool breezes blowing in through the windows.  This is a very nice break from all that 90 degree weather we've been having.  The cool temps inspired us kitties to act all crazy this morning.  We were running, jumping and playing like mad!  Wooo!  What fun!

Then I sat in the window watching the wind blow all these leaves around.  It was fascinating!!

Tonight it feels even cooler and I've been following mom around and meowing at her.  She picked me up thinking that I just wanted to get on her shoulders to try to reach some itty bitty bug as I normally do.  But NO! I wanted to cuddle!!  I purred and mewed for her and then I bit the funny plastic thing she had holding her hair back.  MOL!  That was fun...tee hee!  Now I've made her move to the very edge of the computer chair so that I could squish in behind her and curl up.

Hope you're all enjoying some cuddle weather of your own!
Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just to clear up any confusion, <b>I</b>,am mom's favorite.  Now she'll never say it out loud, but I can tell by the look in her eye that I am her numero uno kitty cat.  We've got a connection - she gets me.  She knows what every different mew means...and let me tell ya, I have a lot of different mews!  Dad can't even tell my meow from Harry's meow.  Sheesh!  Maybe she understands me so well cause she had me since I was a tiny kitten.  The other cats were already a little bit older when they were adopted.  And she knows exactly how I like to play.  Its like we're in synch somehow.   

Today that <i>BEAGLE</i> ran at me.  Like I would ever play with something like that! Mom saw and yelled "NO!" in that serious voice that means she's not taking any poop from anyone!  The beagle left me alone and went to pout on her blanket.  HA HA!  We all can't wait until this stinky beagle leaves.  She has gas too.  Mom had to fan out the room cause it stunk so bad.  Oh, and I think she wants to snack in my litter box.  EWWWWW!  Why did she ever agree to watch this beast???  Well I'm not afraid of it.  This is MY house & everyone in it knows that Julius is king!  MOL!!! ;)]]></content:encoded>

And now that she's home, we got a house guest....a DOG!!  Its a beagle & I guess its ok.  I let it sniff me for a second.  It seems to know that I'm boss and I like that!!!  Its a lot smaller than the dogs that live here.  Mom said it will only be here for a week.  ONLY?  That sounds kind of long to me.  

Wait till us kitties start ganging up on her! MOL!! That dog will want to go home!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been tagged by my good friend Colorado!

<u><b>Q and A Game</u></b>


<b>1. Do you ever wake your parent up in the night?</b>

Generally no, I don't.  I like to sleep in bed with mom & dad - not every night, but fairly often.  Sometimes Pixie comes up too & we'll end up wrestling which then wakes up mom, but that's only on rare occasions.

<b>2.Do you ever tear up things?</b>

I have been known to claw the underside of the sofa.  And my cardboard scratchers - I really love those!

<b>3.What's your favorite treat?</b>

Cat Milk.  Gotta have a bit every morning!!

<b>4.Can you fetch something when ask to do so?</b>

I like to chase things, but I do not fetch.

<b>5.Have you ever lived any place other than where you live?</b>

I lived in a cage at the animal shelter before I came to live with mom & dad.  Ooooh, I'm gonna ask mom to find the picture of me when I was there & post it on my page!!  

Anyone who hasn't been tagged yet & wants to play...consider yourself tagged!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says I am THE finickiest in the country.  I don't know whether to be insulted or flattered.  Really I prefer to think that I have a very refined palate.  We get both canned and dry food.  Mom knows that overall canned food is usually healthier for kitties, but she likes to provide us some dry food too while the humans are gone for the day...and she says it helps clean our teeths.

Anyway, she bought us Orijen.  I give it 2 paws down.  Blech!  Can't stand the stuff.  She says its healthy.  Big whoopity do!  Now I know some of you moms are saying, "oh just give it to him.  If he gets hungy enough, he'll eat it." Au contraire!  I can go without eating for a whole day.  I often skip the canned food if its a flavor I don't like and of course I won't touch that dry crap...I won't eat until dinner time when mom cracks and gives me something I do like.  She feels bad cause I'm on the skinny side & so she'll eventually give in.  Trust me, these eyes can be really convincing!! MOL!

So now she is getting ready to buy more dry food and doesn't know what to get.  Oh and did I mention that I also have now snubbed 2 other flavors of canned food that I used to eat??  yep!!  Gotta keep mom on her toes!

Oh, and that Napoleon Complex thing.  Mom keeps saying that about me cause I'm, well, I'm the smallest now (blushes) but I still let the others know I'm KING!!  I chase down Harry and smack Coco out of my way.  Pixie I just like to wrestle with.  That girl is ok in my book.

Mom also says I'm spoiled.  WHAT????!!! How can she say she loves me & then say these mean things?? I'm her little J-bird, sweet punkin pie face!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!  It sure was hot here this weekend.  High 80's & lots of sun.  Sure makes a cat sleepy!!

On Friday mom noticed that I was winking at her.  Ok, I really wasn't winking, my right eye was squinty.  I heard her say to dad that if it didn't look better by Monday I was going to the V-E-T!! Well you know what I concetrated on all weekend...getting my eye better!!  And today it looks 100% better...phew!  Close one!

Mom had her own injury this weekend too.  Mom & dad went to Grandma's birthday party on Friday night (which caused ME to miss a birthday party at Kitthaven Estates!! Growl!)  Anyway, mom came home with a limp.  Seems she forgot about a step on the deck and CRASH!  Down she went, LOL!  Fortunately she wasn't really hurt.  Silly mom is such a klutz!! 

Tonight both me & mom are back to normal, thank cat!

Hope all my friends are enjoying their summer so far!  And big happy birthday wishes to my beautiful Little Emma!  Her 3rd bday was on Friday!

Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello friends!

I have successfully trained mom to perform a new trick.  As you know, these humans take dreadfully long to train.  Its so challenging to get them to do what we want them to do!  Fortunately I have succeeded in training mom on my latest demand....OPEN THE WINDOW!

Here's how it goes:  She sits down at the c ompooter and starts clacking away.  I wander into the room & let her know of my presence with a little mew murmur.  Then I snoop around abit.  Next, I jump up on the chair in front of the window and put my two front paws on the ledge.  If its not open I let out one big MEOW!  Mom looks up from her compooter and says "oh, hold on Jules."  And then she immediately gets up and opens the blinds and then the window for me.

Hooray!!   My friends, it is easy to train your humans.  You just must get down to their level of communication.  Remember, discipline before affection!
I think I shall become "The Human Whisperer"  MOL!!!

Hee hee!  
Hugs,
Julius]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My pawrents went somewhere call "Cancun."  I think it must be the place where cat food is canned or something.  But why couldn't I go along???  Just because I cry in the car???

They returned and I had planned to play it cool and aloof.  My evil aunts & grandma were at my house when the pawrents returned.  Earlier that day the evil aunts had a Mother's day get together and they brought another dog to the house and some really tiny humans.  You can bet your furballs that most of us took off for the safety of our basement.  Except that dumb Harry.  That cat must have some screws loose.  He was hanging around all these strange humans and sucking up to them.  HRMPH!  I gotta have a talk with that cat & set him straight!!!

But I digress!  I was telling you how cool I was going to be when they returned.  So I heard them come in the door & get greeted by the dogs.  I tried so hard not to go to them but I couldn't resist.  I peeked my head around the corner and SNAG!  Mom saw me.  "Oh my Julius!!!" She exclaimed.  Then she grabbed me in her arms and I cried, loudly, to her.  I told her how much I missed her.  And I told her how my evil auntie tried to {gasp} "discipline" me when I went somewhere I shouldn't have.  She had the nerve to pick me up and move me and say "no."  The horrors!!  So I told mom that I hissed at evil auntie and made all kinds of nasty sounds.  I know mom understood this.  Also, I confessed to mom that I did sleep with the evil auntie, but it was only because I was quite chilly that night.

What a tramatic experience.  I hope mom & dad never go away again.   So glad that all is right once again in my kingdom ;)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been having so much fun on the indoor jungle gym!  Never even realized it was there until recently!!!!  Mom has a closet in her office and that's where they put these fun hanging things for me to play on.  There's a bunch of hangers in there too, but there's also these strange fabric & plastic contraptions.

My sister Coco has to assist me by whacking the closet doors open first.  Then once she gets it open, I begin to scale the fabric thingys till I reach the top.  Then I try to walk the balance beam but by that time Mom usually hears me and grabs me out.  Why?  I was having so much fun in there and was just about to make it to the top shelf where there's even more fun items to explore.   I think she called those things garment bags - but that means nada to me.  I just know they're excellent for scaling!!

Now that I've found this fun jungle gym I am obsessed with it!!  Hee hee hee!!!  Try to stop us mom, bet ya can't!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom tried to pull a fast one on me.  She gave me my food and at first I was tricked into thinking it was my favorite Merrick Thanksgiving Dinner.  But then I smelled it and knew it was an imposter!!!  It may look like it, and maybe it is still Merrick, but I know its not my favorite.  And I don't care that mom said I ate it before....maybe I was just extra hungry that day.  I'd have to be in order to eat this slop!  I also don't care that those other 3 fools ate it.  Gimme my Thanksgiving Dinner!!  Sheesh!

Guess what I ate this week?  Roast beef!!!  Mom was stunned because I always snub human food.  The other 3 that live here run around like zombies when mom makes a chicken.  They'd sell their tails for a piece of meat.  But not I, no no.  Even though I may look *slightly* interested, I snub it any time mom offers me a bit.  Well mom came home with some roast beef that Grandma made and I sniffed delicately in the air, indicating my interest.  Mom gave me a tiny piece, expecting me to snub as usual.  She was shocked when I actually ate it and looked at her for more!!!  Could it be that mom's just a lousy cook???  Nobody else complains, but they do not have my refined palate. 

Well, I'm still hungry tonight and hoping that mom will give me a snack.  Maybe my most pathetic me-yowl-ing will work......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I were watching the news today and there was this lady who was going to court on animal cruelty charges because she had pierced cats and was trying to sell them on ebay as "Goth Cats."  Apparently she pierced their ears, tails and I think necks too.  Her defense is that "its completely legal."

You know what else is completely legal?  Me and my claws scratching her to pieces!  Mrow!!!!!  This made me and mom so mad.  And of course it happened in OUR state and just one county over from ours!  As if we didn't have enough bad press from all the corrupt legal officials/judges that have been in the news lately.  Sheesh!

What is wrong with some humans?  Us kitties don't want to have piercings!  Don't they know that we are perfect as is?  You don't mess with perfection!

I sure hope the judge throws the book at this lady!  Jeez...what's next, botox for sharpei's?  

Ok, I gotta go have some catnip and mellow out.  Purrs to my pals!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!  An exciting morning for me!  But first I must explain some technicalities before I begin my story.  My house has an attached garage and to get to our backyard you must exit the house thru the back door, which takes you into the garage, and then you must open the small door of the garage to get out to the backyard.  Ok, so this is how mommy lets the dogs out.  Then she leaves the small garage door open so that they can come back in the garage & bark when they're ready to get back in the house.

This morning I was going nuts by the back door.  I was sitting by it and staring and crying and JUMPing at the door!  Mom wasn't sure why I was acting so weird but then she had to let the dogs out for their morning bathroom break.  When she got in the garage she heard some rustling overhead.  She looked up and a BIRD flew out!  It must have been stuck there all night.  It flew out the back door of the garage.

When mom came back in I was still SO excited!!  I told her there was a bird out there.  She had to hold me up so I could look out the backdoor window into the garage.  After I smacked the glass a few times & meowed I was satisfied that my birdie was gone.  Phew - how exhausting!  Then I had to crawl on mom's shoulder and purr and nap for a bit!

I LOVE THEM BIRDIES!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom's been hugging me a lot lately...more than usual.  She's got that watery stuff by her eyes too.  I asked her, what's up?  And she told me that Catster had a lot of sad stuff on it this week.  First she told me about a wonderful kitty named Calvin who went to the rainbow bridge this week.  I never met him and we weren't even friends on Catster but so many of our friends were friends with him that we thinks he must have been a very special kitty.  Mom read his diary entry and leaked all over the keyboard.

Then mom told me she read about the Post Office cat in the cat blogs.  Turns out the cat lived inside the post office until someone complained about allergies.  So they had to put the cat outside, and guess what....Yep...the poor kitty got hit by a car and had to be put to sleep.  :(  This make me & meowmy so sad.  Now I guess I understand why she won't let me out even though I cry by the back door.  Those cars are scary things.

Anyway, mom has felt the need to hug and kiss me a lot after reading all this sad news.  Its kind of annoying, but I secretly like it too :)  I am one lucky boy to have pawrents that love me so much.  So I'm sending out a big smooch-a-roonie to all my catster buds too ;)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, so in my defense, the story I'm about to relay could not have occurred without the assistance of my brofurs and sisfurs!!!!

Last night my doggy sister Lily had an upset tummy and mom was sitting on the floor petting her.  She leaned down to listen to Lily's tummy to see if it was gurgling and something under the chaise lounge.   "OMG there is a cat under there!!" Mom said.  At first Dad wasn't concerned because he thought one of us was merely sitting underneath it.  Then mom explained to him that some kitty tore the lining under the chair and had actually crawled up INSIDE it!!!

So mom figured it was one of the other "bad" kitties.  Dad tried to tip the chair but whoever was in there wouldn't come out.  Next they tried the old standby - shaking the bag of kitty treats.  Like magic, Harry, Coco and Pixie came running.  But where was I?  Yup, it was ME inside the chair :O  I was trying to get out but it took me a little bit to wiggle my way out. (Sure was easier getting in there!)  Mom gasped, "Julius??!!!"

Oh boy, was she mad!  How was I to know she just finished the payments on that furniture??  Dad got the staple gun and they reattached the liner. The other cats kept running around by them trying to help with this task, but I took off to the basement till mom cooled down.  Hey, I wasn't the one who pulled the liner down, I just took advantage of the situation!!  Sheesh!  Guess I'll be good today and look extra cute :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have so much to talk about today!!  First, and most important....I have met THE sweetest girl ever!  Her name is Little Emma & we met at the Welcome Waggin Ball last week.  Now for all you dudes reading this, do NOT go over to her page to check her out....she's mine!  But, she is a looker, that's fur sure!!  Just thinking about her beautiful face turns me into mush :)  I count the days till I can see her again.

Being in love has made me a bit nutty too.  Or maybe it's just the cool fall weather again.  I have been running around like a crazy cat...even more than usual.  And I have been very persistently asking mom to let me outside.  (so I can run to see Emmy, of course!)  Mom let's the dogs out and then I come running to the door MEOWING at the top of my lungs.  Trust me, I can meow like nobody's business.  In fact, when mom & dad 1st got me, dad was talking to his brother on the phone and he asked dad if there was a baby in the house!!  I was meowing so loudly & so much that he thought it was a baby crying!  Well I was a baby at the time.

Oh, but I digress.  I believe I was telling you all how crazy I am.  Yesterday I kept meowing in different rooms & mom finally caught on that I wanted to play hide & seek.  Have you furs ever played?  Oh it's like one of my favorite games to play.  Mom runs into a room & then calls me "Julius, Julius.  Where are you??"  She's usually hiding behind the door or right around the corner.  Then as I approach she jumps out at me & makes some goofy noise.  Then I take off running & hide...and then I meow to mom to come find me.  When she gets close I jump out at her and take off.  Big fun!  Too bad the dogs ruined our game :(

Well, I'm off to nap in my sunny window & dream of my sweet Em :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom put up a new bird feeder in the bushes, right outside my favorite window.  It took a few days for them juicy birdies to find the new feeder, but now they're flocking to it.  I can't tell you how much I love it!!!  It's like the best tv show ever....except it's real.
Mom even got worried one morning cause I didn't even come out for breakfast.  I was too busy drooling over those plump little birds.  They had me under their spell!  She finally realized where I was and brought my breakfast over to me so that I could eat and pretend it was yummy birds that I was eating!
Last week mom went away for 3 days - I hardly knew she was gone....the birds have me so entranced!!  This was mom's best idea yet!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my kitty friends, I think you know what fun I've been having lately.  This cool weather has made me SO energetic!  Yesterday I seem to have caused a bit of trouble.
It all started after I ate my dinner last night.  There was a nice breeze coming thru the windows and I felt all zippy and excited.  My sisfur Pixie went slinking by me the way only she can.  She's all black and just has this walk that makes me want to chase her.  We normally have a lot of fun playing together.
So...I followed her and jumped on her when she wasn't looking. I took her down to the floor and bit her neck.  She hissed at ME???!!!  Then she cried and mom came running to see what the commotion was about.  Mom pulled me off Pixie & told me to cut it out.  Then she walked away.  That was a mistake cause Pix got up to leave and I followed her again and did the same thing too her.  Mom came and broke it up again.
Then mom noticed that I was stalking Pixie.  She told me to stop it, but I wouldn't.  The next thing I know I get hit with a cold stream of water.  What the cat??????  Mom squirted me with the water bottle.  Me, her favorite smoochy boy.  She NEVER uses the water bottle on me!
But guess what, it still didn't stop me.  I kept on harassing Pixie for awhile yet.
Don't know what got into me & I don't know why Pixie was being such a baby!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This week the weather has unexpectedly changed.  It's been much cooler - low 70's in the day and brrrrr....45 at night.  But the sun has been shining every day.  This sudden change has resulted in something quite peculiar in our house..... we all gots the crazies!!!!!  Zzzzzzoooooooooooom!  We are running and playing like maniacs!  Gone are the dog days of summer where we just lay around looking like we melted.  This cool snap has made us wacky!  I have been running up and down the hall, jumping on the bed, the sofa and the chairs, rolling around like a fool.  It's all this fresh air - we just can't help ourselves.

Mom just shakes her head and laughs at us.  Does she not know that something inside us is making us do these crazy things?  We can not resist these urges!!!

Happy Fall my furry friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh meow goodness!  I am beside myself with excitement....I was selected as Welcome Waggin's August Member of the Month!!!  

meow meow meow meow meow!  Sorry, I had to do a little meow dance there.

Oh wait until the other kitties at the house hear about this.  Surely this will finally convince them that I am their LEADER!  I can't wait to rub my brother Harry's nose in this.  He's always looking for the opportunity to usurp my power.  Ha ha!  Oh maybe mom will even buy me a special treat!

But on a more serious note, I truly love all my pals at the Welcome Waggin.  They make everyday a little brighter and a lot more fun!

Ok, gotta go now.  Time to parade all around the house :)  Bushy tail? Check!  Whiskers perky? Check!  Time to go!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Monday I was on patrol for bugs as usual.  Mostly I only find little gnats that can fit thru the screen, but every once in awhile a juicy fly gets in.  So much fun!!

Well, on Monday I saw a great big flying bug in the bathroom.  Oh, I was so excited!  Mom & Dad weren't home yet - they missed quite a show.  Me and my sisters were chasing this bug all around the bathroom.  But it was ME that was successful in getting it!! MEOW-OUCH!  What the heck?  This bug just bit me back!  MEOW MEOW MEOW!!  My pink nosey really hurts.

Oh, then my mommy came in and saw that I was acting weird.  Flinching and shaking my head and that my nose was really red and my eyes were really squinty.  Then she saw the bug on the floor in the bathroom.  She called it a wasp & squished it with her shoe.

Fortunately I was ok.  Some kitty milk took away some of my pain :)  But now mommy keeps the bathroom door closed until the exterminator comes.  Not sure what that means but I know I won't mess with those nasty bugs again!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said I am addicted to hunting bugs.  She might be right about that.  I can't help it, those little flying things taunt me & I just can't rest until I catch them!! 

Mostly I see those teeny tiny little gnat things that are so small they can fly through the holes of the window screens.  Usually they fly up by the light in the kitchen ceiling.  My strategy is to get as high up as possible (the fridge) and then I meow loudly at them.  If Dad is home he will pick me up and hold me up high so I can smack them.  But Mom is too short :(

Once in awhile a big juicy fly will get in & then I am in my glory!  I love em!  Mom tries to make me spit them out, but I am too fast for her!  Hee hee!  Happy summer my kitty pals!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I decided that I really really love my mom again.  Maybe I was feeling just a tiny bit sheepish at my theatrics yesterday.  So, I made sure mom knew I still loved her by following her and MEOWing loudly and giving her my best squinty lovey eyes till she picked me up.  Then I purred and mewed and purred some more.

Besides, I can't let my siblings get all the attention!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My kitty comrades, I beseech you!  We felines have a common enemy that we must fight against.  No, not the silly canine, we know how to put them in there places.  It is more terrible, more awful, more hair-raising than that.  Persians, alley cats, torties, we must form a united front against...NAIL CLIPPING!!
Clipping our nails takes away the very essence of our beings!  Our powerful and beautiful talons!  After weeks of grooming my lovely nails into tiny weapons of torture, the she-owner thinks she can cut them?  Nay I say! Nay!!  I will bite and claw and SCREAM until I am released.  
Wwwhat?  Uh-oh, moms is coming!  Time to escape to the basement!!
  Julius' mom would like to note that no cat was hurt during this latest nail clipping.  The only blood shed was hers.  Julius is still sulking in the basement.]]></content:encoded>
