		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Although I'm a bit late, I wanted to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. Special thanks for the birthday gifties goes out to:

Milo & family
Carmina Purrana & family
Colors & family
Big Harry & family
Luke & family
Smiley 
Napoleon & Colorado
Hen & family

On our birthdays, mom always thinks back to our kitten days & realizes how much we've changed.  As a kitten I always wanted attention, but was hesitant to allow anyone to pet me.  Now I LOVE to be pet.  Sometimes when mom goes to bed I run to the bed room and start crawling on her before she even gets the covers over her.  When she finally settles in I'll lay on her chest and keep pushing my head under her hand to be pet....all the while purrrrrrring like crazy.  But somethings have not changed.  I still like to cause trouble and knock things off of counters!

Thank you all for making my birthday special.
Hugs,
Coco]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have been attacked by bugs!!  First our compoooter was attack by some nasty bug that gave us lots of trouble.  Mom spent her evenings scanning it for viruses and updating drivers and running diagnostics. Finally we are up and running normal again...or at least we think so!
The next buggies to attack us are STINKBUGS....EEEK! That's what mom says when she sees one - MOL! Yes its fall and in our area that means those yucky stinkbugs are back.  They somehow sneak through the window screens and other tiny spaces and have been popping up on our walls here and there.  I keep finding a new one and then mom takes it away from me.  What the cat??!! All my hard hunting work and she won't let me play with it.  Sheesh! Mom hates these buggies and she keeps a tally of how many she's killed.  I'd say she's getting a bit obsessive!! Today when dad walked outside to go to his car he got hit in the head by 3 of them!!! So now he has joined mom in her war against stinkbugs.  
The last bug to attack is on Catster.  We haven't been getting our catster emails the last few days and when mom went to our account on Catster it said that emails to our email address have been "bouncing" and to fix it we should get a new email account!! How strange!  Plus we are still having trouble sending our friends gifts.  We'll click the button to send a gift and all the gifts appear but the kitty we want to send them to doesn't show up.  It just says something about waiting for the gift page to load.  ~sigh~ Frustrating!!
I hope all my friends are enjoying the autumn so far.
Hugs & kisses,
Coco]]></content:encoded>

What you talkin' bout Catster???!!! I need credentials now?  And whats this about Apache Red Hat?  Is that some Native American name? Do I have to join that Red Hat Society? What's going on????

Anybody else getting this error?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It seems to me that I am the only kitty that does any real work around her.  The others are such loafers!  This weekend Dad was away so Mommy had a million projects planned, and of course I was there to assist her.

When she house cleaned the bedroom I gave it a thorough inspection.  Um mom, there's still a smudge on this window.  "Oh how did I miss that? Thanks Coco!"  Then she rearranged the furniture in there too so of course I stuck around to give her my opinion.  Put the dog bed in the corner Mommy.  I like it there and you know I use it more than those doggies!

On Sunday she decided to fix the door in the basement.  It would only open partially and then get stuck. So Mommy took it off the hinges and broke out the tools.  I was there to supervise the project.  I even stuck around when she used the electric sander...until she noticed me and gave me the boot.  Sheesh!  But I snuck back once she was done and pointed out the wood dust on the floor that needed sweeping.  Do you think she'd even see it if I didn't swoosh it around with my floofy tail???

Today Mom was cleaning out some old files and stumbled upon the kitty records for her kitty Zoey. Zoey went to rainbow bridge before I was even born, so I never had a chance to meet him.  But I could tell that mom was upset so I started smacking my springy toy around & smacked it right to her feet.  She couldn't help but smile at me.

Now I'm just exhausted.  A cat's work is never done!!

Hope you all had a nice weekend my furiends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Now that I've turned 3, I seem to have become much more affectionate with mom.  It started with sitting on her lap when she's on the computer.  Normally I would sit on the top of her computer chair, but now I occasionally come down and curl up in her lap.  

Now I've decided that sleeping with mom is nice too!  If mom gets up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I appear out of nowhere.  Then I escort her back to bed and crawl in with her.  When she lays down I like to lay on top of her.
Last night mom was sound asleep when something woke her up....ME! I was laying on mom's chest with my face only a few inches from hers and purrrrrrrrring really loudly! My purr is what woke her up.  Usually she can't even hear my purr but I guess I was revving it up pretty good!  When she opened her eyes I kissed her nose.  My kisses always make mom laugh because I get real close then I kiss kiss kiss her real quick like I'm afraid I'll get caught! MOL!!  I think Julius is getting jealous of all the extra attention I'm getting with these cuddle sessions cause he's more demanding than ever! Hee hee!

Oh, and we just realized that we're not getting our Comment notifications lately.  Guess its flea time again!

Hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!

Love,
Coco]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh what a terrible evening its been!! Mom locked me in the bathroom, wrapped me in a towel and...gasp, combed my pantaloons!! Terrible terrible terrible!!

I had a bit of gastrointestinal trouble this weekend and had, oh dear, how to say it, loose poopies. ~blushes~ And well you know that us floofy cats have those floofy pantaloons that are just a magnet for, ahem, poopies.  So I got a teensy bit stuck in there and a bit of litter stuck there too so mom had to clean me up.  She thought she got it all, but today she said my tushie smelled.  Oh my! Such embarassment.  

But I quickly got over my embarassment and moved right to indignation! Why she's brushing my pantaloons!  She was holding me on my back like a baby & so I bopped her right in the face with my paw.  And yes, I used CLAWS!!  Heh heh heh, she was shocked.  But then she grabbed a towel and wrapped me up like a burrito!! I growled and meowed and wiggled and got free! This happened about 6 times or more.  Then mom said I give up.  Yes, defeat!!! But oh no! She grabbed the kitty washcloth, wet it and grabbed my tushie and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. Oh and she clipped my claws too!  OMC!

She really cleaned me up and then combed me some more and finally I was released!!  She gave me some kitty milk and then some catnip...it was the least she could do! She had lots of scratched on her hand and some of my floof in her eye! HA!!  And I can hear her sneezing now!!   

To think that I've been so nice to her lately.  Sitting on her lap and purring, well we'll see if I do that anytime soon!! GRRRR!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some people may not have wishes or dreams, but I do, and some of mine have come true!!

First let me tell you about my Valentine :) The sweetest boy kitty asked me to be his Valentine...WYATT! Oh he's such a nice kitty, not like my mean brother Julius who always tries to smack me.  No, Wyatt is a true gentleman-cat and is very sweet. I was so thrilled when he asked me!!  Just between us girls, I had hoped & dreamed of him asking but never thought he would!  Oh what a wonderful Valentine's day it was :)  He's such a good friend!

My other wish was for the weather to warm up so that mom would let me in the window.....and.....it hit 40 degrees yesterday!  Today its going to be about 50 and tomorrow close to 60!! Yippee!!!  That means mom will open the bathroom window for a few minutes so I can get some fresh air and listen to the birdies chirping!!  I know she won't keep it open for long, but at least I get a little time.

See kitties? Dreams do come true! So dream big my kitty friends!!  Now I'm dreaming of a big kitty tree...think I'll get it?????? Pawlease mom, we NEED a kitty tree!  MOL!

Hugs to everycat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mean Momma won't open the bathroom window for me.  Too cold she says.  I ask her so nicely.  "Meow meow," I say, giving her the look. She tells me I know the rule.  I jump on the window sill balancing very carefully to show her what I want.  "No Coco," she says.  "The window doesn't open until its at least 40 degrees."  Oh good golly!! It hasn't been 40 degrees in ages!!

So I give up on the window and ask politely for her to let me in the linen closet.  Again she says no.  "Meow, Meow!" I say and rub around the door. Nope, she just walks away.  Grrrr!!

So I wait.....soon Mom is carrying up the clean towels and heading into the bathroom to put them away.  She opens the linen closet door and I am lightening fast! I jump on the window sill and try to get into that closet....but I miscalculate that narrow sill and start falling.  Mom tries to reach for me, I reach out for mom.  My claws grab onto her sleeve (ok, her arm!) and she lowers me to the floor screeching.

And the point of my story is give me what I want or mom will get hurt!! MOL!

Unfortunately I still didn't get in the linen closet nor did she open the window for me...so I'll consol myself by shredding some toilet paper!  Hee hee!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been tagged by my good friend Wyatt. The assignment....to 
name the 5 most annoying things your humans do, then tag 5 friends. Here's a few of my Human Pet Peeves....

1. Daring to touch my belly floof.  Sometimes I do like to flaunt the floof, but that's not an invitation to touch it.  Look but don't touch! MOL!
2. When I'm opening the kitchen cabinet door with my paw & mom catches me in the act and closes it.  After all my hard work! Its not easy to do without thumbs!
3. When Mom tries to comb or has to ~ahem~ clean my pantaloons. 
4. Mom catching me on the kitchen counter & telling me to get off.  Darn right I'm gonna meow back at ya mom!!
5. Not getting fed promptly!! If my belly says its time to eat, ITS TIME TO EAT!! hee hee!

I think everycat I know has been tagged already...but, if you haven't been tagged yet & you're reading this then TAG! You're It!!! MOL!

Happy weekend everycat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello my friends!  I hope you all had a fabulous holiday!  We kitties got TONS of toys and treats from Santa and from our friends!!  Mom says we made out better than anyone else in the family.  Our sweet friend Pigeon sent us a whole bunch of cat toys.  My brother Harry especially loved the one that has a suction cup to stick to the floor.  Only it didn't stick to the floor long with Harry around! He's a bruiser!! MOL!  And yesterday we got some fantastic catnip toys from River & Simone - woooo weee! They are a lot of fun.  My fav is the little heart.  I can cuddle it in my paws & bite it!!

On New Year's day my grandma came to our house for a visit.  She hasn't seen me for about 6 months & she couldn't believe how big I've grown.  Grandma said maybe I'm part Maine Coon!  That's a pretty fancy breed!  I think I just might be that!  So I rubbed up to Grandma & purred, "tell me more."  So Grandma said "oh, she's beautiful, look at those markings on her face!" Purr, purr, purr, yes, yes, yes!!  Then Grandma said, "I've never seen a tail as thick as hers.  I know what she reminds me of, a Pomeranian!!"  A Poma-what-now??? Meowmy, what's that? Is it a super rare kitty breed??  "Coco," Meowmy says, "a pomeranian is a little dog."

WHAT???!!!  Oh Grandma! How could you say such a nasty thing to me?  Just when I was starting to like you!!  MOL!

Hey, I've also turned over a new leaf - I sat on mom's lap twice this year.  WOW!  Maybe I'm gonna be nice to mom this year! (or maybe I was just cold!!! Tee hee hee!)

Hugs & purrs to all my pals!

Mom has been out of town these last few days so I've been keeping dad company.  I heard him tell mom on the phone that I've been jumping on his lap and being cuddly.  Hope he doesn't get too accustomed to this...I won't be this nice all the time! ;)  I do hope mom comes home soon...I miss playing all my mischievous tricks on her. She's such an easy mark!  It just doesn't bother Dad when I open up the kitchen cabinets and crawl inside...not fun if you don't get a reaction!

Hope everyfur has a wonderful weekend. Its been quite cool here at night but the days are sunny and nice.

Happy weekend furriends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry I haven't been on Catster lately, I've been too busy!!!  Mom has decided that she can't stand the kitchen, dining room and living room paint colors anymore.  She spent last week taping these funny little squares of paper on the walls.  I tried to smack them off the wall, but dang it, she hung them too high for me too reach!

The last few days we have been busy painting the kitchen and dining room.  I'm exhausted! Do you know how hard it is to supervise my mom?  Very difficult, let me tell ya!  And I of course had to lend a paw to assist her.  Who else would make sure that plastic thing was nice and flat on the floor?  It may have looked like I was playing in it, but no, I was ensuring that it was well in place so no paint got on the floors.  And of course I was there to fling mom the roll of painters tape, even though she didn't need it at that precise second, she needed it later on!  My most crucial role was testing when the paint was dry.  I used my poor fluffy tail to test it....and then my whiskers...and then I even got Pixie to test it with her whiskers!  MOL!

I'm gonna take the weekend to relax cause mom said next we will do the living room.  YAWN! I need a nap!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Uh-oh! Frost warning for tonight!  Momma brought her plant inside tonight.  It looks like a miniature palm tree.  I've already been up and investigating it.  There are these little rocks covering the soil.....ooooh, they are so much fun to scoop out of the pot and smack around.  

Whoops! Momma caught me, dang it!  She ruins all my fun ;)  For now I'll just have to lie around underneath it. Purrhaps pretending I'm lounging on the beach under a palm tree.  Until Momma goes to bed and then....yippee! I'll scoop all those stones out and smack 'em all over the floor.  Big fun later tonight!!!

Hee hee hee!

Stay warm tonight my furriends!  I'll have a fun activity to keep me warm MOL!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, so I slept in my mom's bed last night.  I rarely do this so she's all happy and thinks we're best buddies.  But listen, it was cold last night.  Even us fluffy cats can get chilly, that's why I crawled under the covers with her.

I can't let her think I like her.  Why, that would ruin all my hard work ;)  Today I unrolled the toilet paper because she refused to open the bathroom window for me.  She said it was too cold.  Bah!  I wanted some fresh air!  I hope she enjoyed all that tp I unrolled!  MOL!

It sure is fun to mess with mom!  Of course deep down I do love her but SHHHH! Don't tell her that!!  If she knew then she'd expect me to be all lovey dovey to her and that just doesn't mesh with my torti-tude! hee hee hee!

Purrs to my furiends!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Trick or treat!
Smell my feet!
Give me something good to EAT!!!

Has mom never heard this song before???  I got no treats so I had to do some tricks....

Some kitty threw mom's glass nail file on the floor and broke it.

Some kitty knocked the mail off the counter.

Some kitty unrolled all the toilet paper (tee hee! This one was the MOST fun!!)

The tricks will continue until I get my TREATS!!!  

Hope my kitty pals are getting into the Halloween spirit too!
Hugs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Momma & I love the fall.  Its so beautiful with all the pretty colors and the temperatures are nice and cool.  In fact, Momma almost named me Autumn cause of my fur colors. But it just didn't fit my purrsonality.  But the fall also has something that Momma hates.........da stink bugs!!!!! 8( We don't know what they're really called, but they seem to come around in the fall & Momma thinks they are UGLY and she just hates them.  Now she doesn't think they do anything bad, she just hates them cause of how they look.  Isn't that bug discrimination?  She likes the pretty butterflies but hates this ugly bug?  Well, every once in awhile one of dem stink bugs makes its way in the house & then Momma freaks!
Tonight, I was sitting on top of the fridge and saw that one was on the ceiling.  Momma came in the room and saw it right away so she tried to knock it down off da ceiling.  She furgot that they can fly and so she freaked out as it flew onto the wall.  Then she hit and it fell down and she squished it in a paper towel and threw it away.  I think she was yelling "die you dirty #$**@@$ bug!"  All the while I watched from the fridge...its good she didn't hear me laughing at her.  Hee hee hee...if you could have seen the funny little dance she did when da bug started flying!!!  MOL!
Momma, you're such good entertainment!  I'm not even upset that you killed da buggy before I could!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So we've been living with mom for 2 years now and she is just now realizing that I love her.  Oh sure, I don't like to be held and I don't sleep in her bed like the other cats, but I've been sending her subtle signs!  Sheesh! She has finally recognized all my little clues, such as:

- I follow her around all the time unless I go down for a catnap.
- I am acutely aware of where she is. If she gets up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom ~kapow!~ I pop out of no where!
- I DO purr when she pets me.  She just can't hear it unless she puts her head on me.  Jeez, I'm dignified, I don't make a big purring fuss like Harry does.
- I always come running if she calls me.

Yep, I love that silly mom of mine!  She just never recognized all my little signs.

But mom, I WILL STILL BITE YOU IF YOU TRY TO RUB MY BELLY!  MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I like to keep mom's life interesting.  Here's my latest adventure:

1. Climb up onto the air conditioner that's in the bedroom window.

2. Pretend to be looking at birds out the window.

3. Jump from air conditioner onto mom who happens to be asleep in bed.

4.  Giggle quietly while watching mom try to figure out who threw a cat on her!!

MOL!!!  So much fun!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't get a fair trial in this house!  Mom has falsely accused me of crimes with no proof that I did it!  Here's what she's accused me of this month:

1) Stealing & squashing her cherry tomato.  Mom finally got 1 ripe cherry tomato & put it on the counter to show dad.  When she returned to the kitchen it was on the floor and smooshed.  She blamed ME!

2) Stealing a sweet banana pepper & getting it stuck under the stove.  Mom harvested some of these peppers and another tomato from her garden and put them on the kitchen counter.  When she returned, she realized 1 pepper was missing.  After searching for it to no avail, she looked in the one place that all toys end up in...under the stove.  While she was down there trying to get it out with her face on the floor she moved her arm and bumped into ME!  So she said I was guilty again.  Hey, I just wanted to see what she was doing and thought I'd lend a paw.

3)Tonight mom was painting these concrete castings of leaves that she made.  I came up on the table and of course put my paw in her paint.  But it was dry, so no big deal, right?  Then as she was painting the one leaf, she caught me biting the edge of the other concrete leaf.  Ok, this time I admit, I was doing that.  But I was only trying to smooth it out for her!  Then mom got up to go to the bathroom leaving her paintbrushes in a cup of water & ME on the table.  When she came back the cup was knocked over, there was dirty green paint water all over and I was gone.  COCO! She yelled.  Again, no proof that I did it.

So you see my friends, I am being unfairly persecuted in my own home!!!  Is there a Caster Court???  I need a fair jury of my peers!  MOL!

And further more, I accuse MOM of stupidity!  I mean how many times is she going to leave things on the counter or unattended until she learns?????  MOL!!! Silly mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last year my brother Julius got stung by a wasp....this year it was ME!  OUCHY!!!  Those stupid wasps come in our house sometimes.  Every year the humans have to get the outside sprayed to keep them away.  Mom was cleaning windows yesterday and thinks one must have flown in without her seeing it.  :(

I am an excellent huntress so I caught that nasty bug before mom even knew it was in here.  But then she saw me shaking me head all funny and knew what happened.  She gave me some cat milk to make me feel better & that's when she saw IT!  Part of that nasty old wasp was stuck to my lip!!!  Because of my dark fur, she didn't see it until I went to drink out of the white bowl.

Mommy quickly grabbed me and got the tweezers and gently pulled it out.  PHEW!!!  That felt a lot better.  Thank catness I was ok.  Mom spent extra time with me to make sure I was ok and to make me feel better :)]]></content:encoded>

		<title>Torti-tude Rules</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, mom says I have attitude.  She's not sure if all torties have it, but she's nicknamed it torti-tude.  Here's how to exhibit torti-tude:

1. Lie on your back and make sure your belly is all fluffy  & cute looking.  When a human is drawn to the fluff and tries to pet your belly, bite them, bite hard!

2. Flop yourself down where you'll most be in the way...kitchen counter, the hallway, etc.  Make sure to fully extend yourself  to take up as much room as possible.  Get annoyed if someone steps around you.  If they try to move you meow annoyedly at them.

3. Queen of the Fridge.  I enjoy sitting up high and surveying my kingdom.  The fridge is the best place for this.  I especially like to do this when mom is trying to make dinner.  I lie up there and get sleepy and mom feels bad moving me to get in the fridge so she calls my name softly to wake me up .  Then she carefully opens the fridge so I don't fall.  Next she tries to shut the door.  So I flop my big ol' tail down in the way.  Mom gently picks it up and tries to hold it out of the way.  I get mad and smack her and meow!  hee hee hee!!

4.  When your mom tries to go to the bathroom, quickly run in there with her before she has a chance to exclude you.  Then when she's sitting on the toilet, run up to her and bite her leg.  Heh heh heh!  This is a good one but use it in moderation or she'll come to expect it.  I only do it once every couple of months...you have to wait long enough until she forgets about it.  That is the key to success.

Ok, those are my first 4 torti-tude rules.  I know that's alot so I'll put out additional ones at a later time. You all practice these for awhile ;)]]></content:encoded>
