		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOMMIE HAS BEEN FIGHTING THE CANCER SO WE DON'T GET ON HERE MUCH ANYMORE.  I MISS MY FRIENDS.  YOU ARE ALL SO SPECIAL!  WE MET SO MANY BEAUTIFUL CATS AND PEOPLES HERE!
MOMMIE IS DOING A BIT BETTER AND IS OFF CHEMO FOR NOW.  HOPING THAT SHE WILL NOT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN, BUT, THEY DON'T THINK IT WILL EVER GO AWAY COMPLETELY.  I PRAY SO.  SHE GOT A LITTLE PEAKED AND OFF HER FEED FOR AWHILE THERE AND HAD A LOT OF PAIN.
BUT, SHE IS STARTING TO FEEL BETTER NOW.  I HAVE BEEN AMUSING HER, AS USUAL.  IT'S MY JOB TO MAKE HER GIGGLE ON THOSE YUCKY DAYS.  I DO A GOOD JOB OF IT TOO!!!  I'M FUNNY!
REMEMBER, WE MAY NOT BE ON HERE A WHOLE LOT, BUT, WE LOVES YOU SO VERY MUCH!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOMMIE SAYS SHE LOVES OUR CATSTER FRIENDS!  THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!
MOM HAS BEEN DOING CHEMO ONCE A WEEK, FOR THREE WEEKS AND THEN, SHE SKIPS ONE WEEK.  SHE IS GLAD BECAAUSE SHE GETS TO SKIP CHRISTMAS WEEK!  SHE WILL DO ONE MORE SET OF CHEMO (3 TREATMENTS) AND THEN, THEY WILL DO AN MRI TO SEE IF THERE IS GOOD NEWS!  WE PRAY SO!  MOMMIE SAYS THE CANCER SEEMS TO BE LIGHTER AND HER DOCTOR AGREED.  SO JUST MAYBE, WE WILL HAVE THE NEWS WE WANT.  THE SURGERY THEY TALKED ABOUT IN WASHINGTON, IS VERY, VERY HARSH AND SO THEY WILL ONLY DO IT IF THEY BELIEVE IT WILL HELP.  THEY SAID IT WILL TAKE MONTHS AND MONTHS TO HEAL IF SHE HAS IT.  HOPING THE CANCER WILL JUST GO AWAY AND NOT EVER COME BACK.  MOMMIE SAYS SHE IS TIRED OF THAT NASTY WORD!  SHE HAS BEEN FIGHTING IT SINCE 2002.  SHE HOPES THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THAT SHE HAS HELPED OTHERS DEALING WITH THIS.
MOMMIE SAYS TO BE SURE TO GET MAMMOS AND CHECK OFTEN FOR LUMPS.
IF SOMETHING IS WRONG AND YOU KNOW IT, GET A SECOND OPINON.
AND DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.  WE ALL KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RIGHT.  MOMS DR.'s HAVE PUT HER OFF FOR MONTHS AT A TIME, TIME THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SPENT GETTING THINGS RIGHT.
PREM PRO CAUSED THE ORIGNAL BREAST CANCER AND THE RADIATION TO TREAT IT, CAUSED THE SARCOMA CANCER.  NOW, SHE HAS ANGIOSARCOMA,
A VERY RARE FROM OF CANCER.  SO, ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS PRAY.  AND WE THANK ALL OF OUR CATSTER FRIENDS WHO TAKE THE TIME TO SEND PRAYERS.
THANK YOU, EACH AND EVERY ONE.]]></content:encoded>

DIET.
I hate Mommie.
I hate diets.
I hate doc-terrors who tell Mommie we have to be on a diet.
I am starving to death for gawd's sake!
I am wilting away to NOTHING!
She takes our food away at night.
I dream of food, and treats and food and food...
and wake up starving.
There outta be a law.
Mawse should cut back.  <U>she's</u> the FAT one, not ME!
I hate Mawse.  
She eats wa-aaay too much.
I just don't understand why this diet thing started when I went
to the doc-terror.  It certainly wasn't <I>MY </I> doings.
I am only pleasantly plump...NOT fat!
And I really don't have a problem with rolling over like a ball
when I try to groom my non-existent tail.
None at all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I have my special times with my Ma and my Pa. 
This is totally necessary to make the old folks each feel
like they are something wonderful.  At their age, they really
have to work hard to find something extra special, ya know.
At night I play with Pa...we play this really stupid game of
'adoring Daddy.'  He sucks it up 'big time' even though it
is utterly ridiculous!  I bonk his hand and he rubs my belly
and calls me Puppy.  Yeah, Puppy...sickening, isn't it?
Then, I stand there with one foot up like a retriever and 
look adoringly up in his eyes. I tell him I am BONKERS for 
him and he smiles like a cheesey cat....or is that chessy cat?
 He has a fan club of one.
Then, in the afternoon when my old Mama needs a nap,
I have to go in and sing her to sleep.   I purr her favorite 
songs for her and after about 15 minutes of complete
utter adoration, I get off the bed and have a snack.
Crunch, crunch.....CRUNCH!
Well, then after all the noise, I feel it is my duty to get back
up on the bed with her and sing some more.
........now here's the fun part....snort!  **  hee hee
She has no idea I am about to jump on the bed....
she lays there all quiet....
and then,.....POP!!!  Here I am, Mommie!!!
Scares the jingles outta her!
(I like that part!)
She jumps pretty good for an old gal!!!  snort!
So that is my special time with the old folks.  
Life's GOOD!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Although I can't add the pics that go with this, 
I feel the message is too important not to share with 
all of you...


A PET'S TEN
COMMANDMENTS...


1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.

 4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your
entertainment, but <U>I have only you.</u>

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 

7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember
that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative,
ask yourself if something might be bothering me.
Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been
in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too,
will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me
please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't
make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me
if you are there, because I love you so. ALWAYS! 


~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets.
Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be
a much dull ER, less joyful experience without
God's critters~

Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We
do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded
by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth
and has four legs!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>My Mommy

I really love my Mommy.
She is the fairest of the fair.
She loves me unconditionally,
even though she has gray hair!
She feeds me and waters me,
sort of like a plantâŚ
and if some days she forgets,
I really rave and rant!
She rescued me from the neighbor,
who didnât give me food,
he didnât give me anything,
he was an awful dude!
I kept sneaking to her house
to get a bite to eat,
and while I ate, I kept dancinâ by her feet!
I loved the pets she gave me,
they felt so awful nice,
Iâd rub on her leg,
so sheâd do it more than twice.
One day she was feeding me
and called me Dancinâ Girl,
She said âYou are a cutie,
a genuine pearl!
I think it was the third time
I had gone over to dine,
she said âIâm gonna catnap you
and make you all mine!â
Daddy got a cage and
they took me in the house,
they didnât tell me I had to
live with that awful Mawse!
Mawsie is my sister
and she came from the ASPCâŚA,
she is so darn onery,
I almost rue the day!
But, no matter what,
I must tell you this,
I got the Worldâs Greatest Mommy
ân the Worldâs Worst Sis!

Submitted by Dancinâ Girl who loves her Mommy more than Chunklit cubberd grab crackers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>A mother loves her children with her whole heart.
Truly, she would die for them.  She does the best she can,
wishing there were always more.  And as time goes by,
she wishes there were more hugs and kisses, more dirty 
little faces to wash and nighttime hugs to give.  More of
everything good and special....wonderful mornings
full of laughter and love...yeah, only the love a child 
can give...unconditional.  More wishing on stars, more
snow angels, more giggles and laughter.  More sunny
days at the lake and another pizza in Red Lodge.  More
picking peas out of the garden and trick or treating.
More of the enchantment of Christmas with them.
More of the beautiful days a child gives her mother.
More of everything.  Just more.
They grow and leave to live lives of their own, and 
give the gifts of grandchildren.  And leave wonderful
memories of the heart.
So, the first two songs...are for my children...with the
memories they make.  Some good, some not so good...
but, everything was and is a delight with my children, 
in my heart forever.
I love you, Shelle and Devin.  You are my life.]]></content:encoded>

She is doing great!  I will have to pet her extra lots
today just to make her happy.   She had to have her
arm manipulated since it was frozen from her double
mastectomy this past year.   She said a frozen arm is
GOOD!  She told daddy she could keep the worms cold
when they go fishing!!!  She is so silly!
A special bit of love from Mommie for all of you who
have sent prayers and love her way.  She just couldn't
have done it all without you!  She wishes she could send
you all rosettes....the very  biggest ones...because you
are so very special to her.
Thank mew all.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>This is a letter to Savannh  Ranes who is my new
friend.  She is a beautiful girl who is in the hospital
in Seattle!  
Mommie's friend, Kimm, told my Mommie just
how special Savannah is!  She said she is strong and 
brave and just purr-fect!   We like to write to her.
Now, I hope she will get to visit me on Catster, so
she can see me!  
(If you're lookin' Savannah, ain't I sumpin'?)
My boyfriend thinks I am purr-dy!  Do you think so?
I wish we lived closer and we would sneak into the 
hospital to see you.  Can you just imagine that?
One very old lady...Mom...(don't tell her I said that)
and a really mean ugly cat, my sister cat, Mawse,
(don't tell her I said that either or she will pound me) 
and beautiful tailless me!  Only thing is, we might cause 
everyone to sneeze!  And then the nurses would throw
meowt, onto my tail....oh, I haven't got a tail! I'm safe!
I hope you get to come to Catster.  And, oh, if you like
dogs....?...(I don't)....then you can check them out on 
Dogster at the bottom of the page to the left!
Bye bye, purr-dy girl!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I was all excited waiting for April Fool's Day,
then, Mawsie told me it was today, so I don't have to
wait till tomorrow, 'cuz it's today, today.
So, I thought I would pull a big fat trick on Mama.
I laid down under her feet and panted, and she just
looked at me like I was from Mars.  She went about 
her business and didn't pay a bit of attention to me.
**snort***  well....you can sure see I count for nothing
in this stupid place.  
Well....um-mmm, so I thought I would pull a fast one
on old Dad.  Daddy is not near as smart as Mommie, 
('cuz she said so.)  so I figured this one is gonna be easy.  
I went and stuck my head in his slipper and gasped and 
fell over with a squeak!
Erk!!!  
I opened one eye and he was reading his book.
So, I coughed a little bit...cough...cough...erk.
&^%$#@@$%^&!!!
Reading his book!!!!   <U>His book!!!</u>  I'm dying and he's 
reading his book!!!   
<I>COUGH COUGH COUGH!!!  CHOKE!!!!</I>
Fine....I can take a hint.  Nobody cares or loves me.
I am done with trying to liven this dreary place up.
The people that live here are older than dinosaurs.
Older than rocks. 
Older than....um-mmmm...old stuff.  
And they are not fun.  
I think I will move.  I will find a fun place that likes 
a cat with a sense of humor.
Well, maybe not....the vittles are pretty good here.
**^^$!#%!!!!  Dirty rat....Mawse told me it was tomorrow 
not today...and so the joke's on me.
And I can't call her that online or Mommie will wash my
mouth out with soap!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, after getting a few inches of snow, I am hoping
Mother Nature is done with her stupid tricks!  I want to
go outside and play!  Mommie won't let me out if it's 
yucky outside.  But, today, she let me out for awhile!
That was so much fun.  But, then, Daddy came out to
watch me and purdy soon, he took me back inside.
Drats!  Sometimes he makes me so mad!
Then, Mommie trimmed my toenails.  Did I ever tell
you how much I hate to have my nails trimmed?
I totally spaz out and yell and scream and generally
make a fool out of my little self.  I don't know why, it
really doesn't hurt, but, dangnabit, they're MY toenails!
Just 'cuz I scratched her the other day while we were
playing doesn't mean I should be nailless!  Grumpy ol'
woman!  And I mean old!!!  She just had a birthday last
month.  We're talkin' decrepid, here...really really old
and decrepid.  Heh heh...snort...I like that.  I got even!]]></content:encoded>

I have had such a nice day.  I got to do my spa thing 
with Mommie.  She bought a small hand vibrator with
big knobs on it and she uses it on my back.  It has a nice
gentle vibration and feels so wonderful  She thinks
that it is good for me since I am a Manx and some are
prone to back problems.  Well, it hardly matters to me
why she does it, just as long as she does it!  It feels 
MARVELOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!  I feel like a princess!!!
Wonder if she could do my nails too???]]></content:encoded>

Scared 'er, ya know.  I didn't know women could jump that

She will not be using the computer for however long it takes

She also told me to tell you not to send any flowers and that

Ain't that sumpin'?
Oops, that means I am four years older, too.
Sheesh!!!
Mommie was feelin' kinda sad and blue and she laid 
down on our bed to nap.  I could feel that she was unhappy,
so I jumped up there and let her rub my fur.  She was purring
and so  was I.  It's funny, but, when I make Mommie feel good,
I feel real good too.  She told me she loves me and that thanks
to me, she felt all better.
Job done.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I live in Montana and Montana is being Montana
in the wintertime right now.  It is MINUS  14 degrees
right now.  I feel so sorry for any critters that have to
stay outside.  I used to live at a place like that.  Those
people were not nice at all.  I didn't have enough food
and for sure I was never warm.  I am so glad I live here
with these people who love me enough to make sure I have
a full tummy and warm toes.  Mommie has tried to catch 
all the wild cats and kittens outside.  To find homes for all 
of them.  But, every now and again, she'll see a cat out there.  
So, she still puts out some food for any of them that wanders by.
You can do that too.  Just a little bowl of food for a feline
friend.
That's what Catster is all about.  The animals.
Please help.  

At minus 14 degrees, little toes and ears freeze off quickly.

Please make sure your own pets are well taken care of.
Feed your outside pets a little more fatty foods.  Make
sure they have a place to get in out of the cold.  And a
water heater will assure they have water through the day 
when you are not at home.  They have heating pads to put
inside a doghouse.  But, let's face it, there is no better place
than being inside, when the weather is lke this.
Animals give more than they take.  They ask so little
Love them enough to make sure they have it.

When Mom was a little girl, there was a cat in the place
they moved to and it had frozen ears and the tail was mostly
frozen off too.  Maybe that's why she needs to help.
Or maybe it's just 'cuz she loves animals so very much.
I love my Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>THIS WAS MY MOMMIE'S MORNING:

TODAY I MADE THE ORIGINAL DROP COOKIES.
I HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY DOING WHAT I SWORE I WOULD NOT DO, MAKING COOKIES AND CANDY FOR CHRISTMAS.  TOO MUCH WORK, TOO MUCH TIME INVOLVED, TOO EXPENSIVE AND TOO LAZY TO CONTINUE MY YEARLY CHRISTMAS EFFORTS.
BUT......I DECIDED I WANTED TO GIVE SOMETHING TO THE PEOPLE IN THE NURSING HOME AND SO THIS MORNING, COOKIES WAS ON THE LIST.
MADE SOME VANILLA COOKIES WITH THE TINY CHOCOLATE CHIPS.  
WHILE I WAS SHOPPING THE OTHER DAY AT THE GROCERY STORE, I SAW SOME OF THAT PARCHMENT PAPER AND THOUGHT, WHAT A HECK OF AN IDEA.  LESS MESS, MORE TIME AND 
EASY TO DO.  WHOOPIE!
SO I CAREFULLY LAID OUT THE COOKIES, NICE AND EVEN ON THE PAPER.  ROWS ALL IN LINE AND NEAT AS CAN BE.  I WAS WORKING ON A LITTLE CHRISTMAS HAT IN THE OTHER ROOM SO I WENT IN THERE AND WORKED ON IT.  FIFTEEN MINUTES AND THE DING OF THE TIMER!
NICE. FIRST BATCH DONE....ONE MORE TO GO AND ONTO OTHER THINGS.
I PULLED OUT THE COOKIE SHEET AND......
 
DO YOU KNOW HOW SLICK THAT PARCHMENT PAPER IS WHEN IT'S ON A SQUEAKY CLEAN TIN COOKIE SHEET?  WELL, I DO.
THE WHOLE DANG MESS ENDED UP SLIDING OFF AND PART OF THEM WENT INTO THE OVEN TO 
COOK AND BURN  AND STINK TO HIGH HEAVENS.
SOME CAUGHT IN THE DOOR, BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE OVEN.  SOME WENT ON THE FLOOR,
AND UNDER THE CABINET.  
OH, SH*T!  I SAID.  BOB SAID, 'WHAT'S THE MATTER?'
WAUUUUGGGGHHHHH...I SAID.  AND THEN I GOT SERIOUS AND STARTED HAVING A REALLY GOOD CRY.  YES, I AM EMOTIONAL.  AND...NO....BOB DIDN'T LAUGH.  
THIS MAN IS SMART.  HE KNEW A POTENTIAL TOTAL OUTBURST FROM AN UNHAPPY WIFE.
HE KNEW LAUGHING WOULD PUT HIS LIFE IN DANGER.  HE KNEW I HAVE TRAINED FOR YEARS TO BE A TOTAL B*TCH FROM THE AGE OF ABOUT 14 OR SO.  HE ALSO HATES A DUMB WOMAN WHO CRIES AT THE DROP OF A HAT....OR IN MY CASE.....DROPPED COOKIES.
HE SENT ME OUT OF THE KITCHEN AND TOLD ME TO DO WHATEVER ELSE I WAS DOING.  
I HATE IT BUT, I AM ALWAYS MULTI-TASKING BUT, JUST THIS ONE TIME I WAS RATHER GLAD OF IT.  GLUING STUPID CHRISTMAS THINGS ON A HAT IS A LOT EASIER TO CLEAN UP THAN A MESS LIKE THAT.
ANYTHING.....ANYTHING AT ALL THAT THIS MAN WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS.......
 
 
SO THAT IS MY MORNING AND THE ORIGINAL DROP COOKIES!
I AM SORRY I DIDN'T GET A PICTURE.  BUT, I WAS TOO BUSY CRYING.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I suppose you have all seen that stupid hat I am wearing.
Mother is totally weird.  Just 'cuz she likes to wear stupid
lookin' hats, doesn't mean this girl, does.
I have seen her wear cowboy hats with big orange leaves
and orange leaf earrings to match.  She made 'em, natch.
And then, there's her cowboy hat with poinsettias. Oh, yeah,
that'll win in the parade.  (YUP...earrings to match that one, too!)

Sheesh, you'd think she was three years old, for catwhiskers sake! 
And she has this dorky black beret....but....thank goodness 
there's no flowers on it....yet.
She has a sequined pink hat her sis gave her and a tiger
striped one from her other sis.  I'm glad  I'm not an outdoor
cat 'cuz I would be so embarrassed to be seen with her!
And yes, she has the old Santy hat just like mine.
And Yes...it has flowers on it too.
She's <I>OLD</I> and she wears a Santa Claus hat!!!!
Doesn't she know there ain't no <U>SANITY CLAUSE?</U>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>"When God Created Kitty Cats"


When God created kitty cats,
He had no recipe;
He knew He wanted something sweet,
As sweet as sweet could be.

He started out with sugar,
Adding just a trace of spice;
Then stirred in drops of morning dew,
To keep them fresh and nice.

He thought cats should be soft to pet,
Thus he gave them coats of fur;
So they could show they were content,
He taught them how to purr.

He made for them long tails to wave,
While strutting down the walk;
Then trained them in meow-ology,
So they could do cat-talk.

He made them into acrobats,
And gave them grace and poise;
Their wide-eyed curiosity,
He took from little boys.

He put whiskers on their faces,
Gave them tiny ears for caps;
Then shaped their little bodies,
To snugly fit on laps.

He gave them eyes as big as saucers,
To look into man's soul;
Then set a tolerance for mankind,
As their purpose and their goal.

Benevolent ... and ... Generous,
He made so many of them;
Then charged, with fatherly concern,
The human race to love them.

When one jumped up upon His lap,
God gently stroked its head;
The cat gave Him a kitty kiss,
"What wondrous love," God said.

God smiled at His accomplishment,
So pleased with His creation;
And said, with pride, as He sat back,
"At last. . .
I've reached purr-fection!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Now what, pray tell, is Halloween all about?
Seems like there's a big deal made over black cats at
this time.  Why isn't there a special day for Manx cats?
Okay, so I got it figured out.  If I want a bunch of new
catnip, I gotta dress up.   
I see Mommie bought a bunch of chocolate things...
candy stuff....and I see she is busy eating up most all of it.  
I think she is dressing up as a pig.
A candy pig.  snort*!  She's naughty.
I am going to dress up as a Monkey.  Opps, can't do that,
no tail.  Shucks.  
Now what?
I got it!  I am going to beFrankenCat!  I will be so-ooo 
scary that my sister Mawse will leave the house!  Dang!
That's a good idea!
Heh, heh,  heh.......
She can go as a crabby cat, 'cuz that's what she is!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I think someone around here is being mighty lazy.
I won't mention her name, but, I call her Mommie!
She hardly ever does my diary anymore.  Of course,
I understand, because she has been to the doctor so
very much lately.  She is so happy to know the cancer
is all gone and her tests are good!  ME TOO!
I love my Mommie so much!  But, I gotta say I wasn't
too happy that they went on vacation! They did!!!
And left me all alone with that big, fat Mawse!
I hated every rotten minute of it!  The nice neighbor
lady came over every day to watch us and make sure 
we have nice clean boxes and lots of food.  Mawsie is
such a jerk....if the box isn't just so, she uses the floor.
Now, that is tacky!!!  She's a sicko!
Anyhoo, they were gone about a week and a half.
Worst week and a half of my little life!   When Mommie
finally came through the door, I about fainted!  I was
so very happy!  I purred and rolled and and mewed a
little mew.  Life is good with Mommie home!
Then, after rubbing all over her, I remembered how dang
mad I was at her for leaving and I bit her!
That should teach her never to do that again!

(Mommie's note*)
Since coming home, Dancer will not leave me alone.
She is really quite pesky, waking me up all hours of the 
night to be petted.  It's like she is trying to cram five
years of petting in one night!  Okay, so I love it!  But,
sometimes.....]]></content:encoded>

Mommie said I should let everyone know what is going
on.  She had her other surgery August 1st, to remove
the rest of the cancer.  She is having a rough time, as it
is so soon after the first surgery.  She is really, really
tired and cannot seem to sleep very much.  But, last
night she fell asleep on the couch and Daddy helped
her a lot.  He got her to bed and made sure she had
everything she needed.  Daddy is a good daddy!
Mommie said to remember to tell everyone to be sure
to do breast exams and mammos.  And if anything at
all doesn't look right, like her bruise,  PLEASE, go to
the doctor!  Let's take care of each other.  It's just
called LOVE.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Ma said I have to be nice to the relatives while
they are here....what's a relative?
All I know is that my sister cat human people Shelle'
and Nicci showed up at our house this weekend...and
stayed until yesterday.  But, I am wondering when the
relative is going to show?  No one by that name is here
yet.
Nicci is cute.  But, she keeps bugging me.  She always 
wants to pet me.  It's my fur!!!  Just 'cuz she doesn't 
have any doesn't mean she should mess with mine!
I am stingy with my fur.  And although I really like pets,
I am not going to let her know it.
And my sister, Shelle, kept it up too....grabbing and
grinning and touching my beautiful little body!
DON'T TOUCH MY LITTLE BODY!!!!
Well, it really wasn't that bad.  In fact, I kinda liked it.
But, there's no sense letting them know...then, they will
take full advantage of you.  And EXPECT IT!
Okay...so they left yesterday.  I got my bed back!
And no one is bugging me.
And...and....and.....I'm lonesome for them.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie told me I should let everyone know what is
going on with her cancer.  She said that there are so many 
peoples who have been praying for her and they deserve
to know.  So, it is my duty to tell you.  Mawsie thought she
should be the one to tell, 'cuz she's the oldest.  That doesn't
mean she's the smartest....ha ha....so there, Mawsie.
Mommie finally got all the results yesterday.  Now, some
might think this is bad news, but, Mommie is quite happy
with the results!
THE NODES WERE PERFECT!!!!  YIPPEE, SKIPPEE!!!
But, yes, there is a bit more cancer and she will need another
surgery, but,she says that is okay.  It was only on one side
and all the rest was fine.  
She was so happy to hear that, so I was gonna have a party 
and share my catnip.  I figured a double shot of catnip was 
purr-fect!  But, ya know what?
She declined.  (Yup...she's gettin' OLD.)  There was a day
when having a shot or two of catnip sounded like a good idea.
So, what I did, was, have my own double shot and then, I had 
hers, too.  Yup, I did.  I managed to hit about 90 going across
the carpet and then, ended up in a heap in the closet.
That was yesterday.  Today, I am still parked in the closet
with the biggest cat hangover in the world.  I hear Mawsie
wondering by once in awhile, snickering and laughing in that
nasty cat way she has.  I hate that cat.
I hate catnip too!]]></content:encoded>

Having had my surgery on Monday, I am having the blues.
Feeling quite sorry for myself as I just found out yesterday
that the cancer was not all gone and so I will need more surgery 
and who know what else?  I still haven't gotten the news on 
the nodes.  At this point, I don't think I can handle any more
bad news.
But....my twin Little One and Baby G and their beautiful
Mommy, Donna, sent me a package today.  How beautiful
is that?  I am astounded at their kindness and their beauty.
I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart...it's there 
under all those terrible scars.
I love you, my dear friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie isn't doing much right now on Catster.
But, she wants me to tell LITTLE ONE AND KARMA KITTY'S 
FAMILY ....THANK MEW!!!
Tomorrow,  Mommie will have the cancer taken out.
I pray to KITTY HEAVEN that she will be okay.  She is a 
special Mommie.  She saved me and Mawsie and gave us 
a beautiful life.  I know she loves us.
Mawsie is going to do her thing,  just as she did before
when Mommie had breast cancer. Daddy will be her caretaker. Myself, I will just be funny and silly and try to make her laugh.  
I do good with that.  All  I gotta do, is roll over on my tummy 
and Mommie gets a big smile.  Of course, she can't resist it and 
has to touch.
And of course, I have to bite her.  It's my tummy, after all!
We love our friends and thank them for all their prayers.
Love to you.  Blessings to all the people who must go through
this fight.  And BIG TIME purr-rayers for them too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie is going through some tough times right now.  
Some of you know about it, some don't.
We apologize for not doing all the fun questions and answers that
many of our beautiful friends have sent, but, Mommie has been
busy going to the doctor.
We want to share this info, because Mommie feels like if she
can help save some lives, then, at least she has done some
good.
Here is the letter she sent to her friends:


Well, once again through the miracles of cancer, I learned a new word. Sarcoma. Sarcoma is soft tissue cancer. I just found out I have it. I am mainly writing to let you all know of a sympton that many don't know about. 
About six months ago, I found a bruise on my left breast...the same one I had BC on. I didn't do anything to damage it, and the bruise did not go away. I finally went to the doctor and they decided to take a pic and then I would go back in a month. In a month, it had begun to disappear. Then, it came back with a vengeance. So back to the doctor I went. He said, immediately, we need to do a biopsy. It hurt! His sweet nurse held my hand and I think I about broke it for her!! I apologized and she said that was what she was there for. How sweet. 
Anyway, it came back after a second opinion to be sarcoma. 
They did a CAT scan and our greatest blessing is that it has not spread.
But, now I am scheduled for a double mastectomy on June 30th.
I am scared witless.  The cause of this cancer was from the radiation
given to me when I had breast cancer.  
Please be aware that bruises can be a sign of cancer, too. If you have anything at all that you know is not right, GO TO THE DOCTOR. 
Don't wait. 
Please send this on to as many people as you can.  Let's help save some lives.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>WE HAVE PUT THIS ON BEFORE, BUT, FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT, HERE IT IS AGAIN:


  TAPS

 Have you ever been to a military funeral in which taps was played; 
  this brings out a new meaning of it.
 Here is something Every American should know. Until I read this, I 
 didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true:
 We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps". It's
 the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our
 eyes.
 But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be
 interested to find out about its humble beginnings.
 Reportedly , it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army
 Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in
 Virginia . The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow
 strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a 
 soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or
 Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the
 stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach 
 through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling
 him toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, 
 he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was
 dead.
 The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb
 with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his 
 own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke 
 out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. 
 The following morning, heart-broken, the father asked permission of his
 superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy
 status. His request was only partially granted.
 The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play
  a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down
 since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they
 did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler.
 He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a
  piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. 
 This wish was granted.
 The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps". Used at military funerals  was
 born. The words are:
 Day is done.
 Gone the sun.
 From the lakes
 From the hills.
 From the sky.
 All is well.
 Safely rest.
 God is nigh.
 
 Fading light.
 Dims the sight.
 And a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise.
For our days.
Neath the sun
Neath the stars.
Neath the sky.
As we go.
This we know.
God is nigh.

I too have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never
seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more
than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I 
didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along.
I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before.
Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country.
Also Remember Those Who Have Served and Returned; and for those 
presently serving in the Armed Forces.
Please send this on after a short prayer.
Make this a Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest
to God...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>This was in Dear Abby today and we wanted to share it.

MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORS THOSE WHO SACRIFICED FOR US

DEAR ABBY: Would you please invite all Americans to stand together, unified in spirit, for 60 seconds of respectful silence during the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time this Memorial Day?
The purpose of this moment is a noble one, to honor America's fallen. The freedoms we take for granted each day are reminders of their ultimate sacrifice and our ongoing debt to them. We mourn our fallen and honor their courageous legacy and the future they bequeathed to us.

The agony of a fallen soldier's mother is as old as war. One such mother is Sallie Stubenhofer. Her son, Mark, was killed by a sniper in Iraq. He left three young children, including a daughter who was born four months after his return to active duty. Mark and his wife named their baby Hope, which signified what he wanted to offer his children and all children.

The Moment of Remembrance and our year-long, lifelong determination to "live honoring America's fallen" are in memory of Army Capt. Mark Stubenhofer and all those brave members of our military who have died in the service of our nation. We invite all Americans to pause in their Memorial Day activities at 3:00 local time to honor those who live in our history, reside in our hearts and rest forever in the arms of God.

My Mommie's uncle Charles Petty died in the Philippines  during WWII. His Mother, Rose Petty, tried so very hard to get his body shipped home.  They wouldn't send him home, so his body lies in a mass grave.  It broke her heart that her youngest son was not buried near her.  We honor him.  
We honor and love all our sevice people.  Each and every one is a hero.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Since Ma & Pa were gone most of the weekend, we didn't 
get to celebrate the holiday with our Mommie.  That didn't make
Mawsie and I too happy.  They had to go out of town and were
gone Friday till Sunday.  They put Mawsie in the extra bedroom and
I got the rest of the house.  The reason they do that is that Mawse
pretty much stays in one place like the slug she is and I like to walk
and walk and walk....I am busy, Mawse is lazy.
It just wasn't the kind of day I wanted for Mommie.
When they got home, they opened the door and let Mawse out of 
the bedroom.  She came running out, really fast!
Well, Ma found out why in one big hurry!  Mawsie had left Mommie
tootsie rolls for Mother's Day!  Mommie was NOT too happy about 
that...not happy at all!
She is a nasty, mean cat.  Mommie should find a new home for her.
Boy, would I like that...A LOT!
Okay, so I know that's not going to happen.  But, I can dream, can't I?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Ma got this yesterday and thought that you might
need a good laugh.  Mommie is still laughing!


IF THIS STORY DOESN'T MAKE YOU CRY FOR LAUGHING SO HARD, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT A COUPLE WHO HAD BEEN HAPPILY MARRIED FOR YEARS.
 
THE ONLY FRICTION IN THEIR MARRIAGE WAS THE HUSBAND'S HABIT OF F*RTING LOUDLY EVERY MORNING WHEN HE AWOKE. THE NOISE WOULD WAKE HIS WIFE AND
 
THE SMELL WOULD MAKE HER EYES WATER AND MAKE HER GASP FOR AIR.
 
EVERY MORNING SHE WOULD PLEAD WITH HIM TO STOP RIPPING THEM OFF BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING HER SICK. HE TOLD HER HE COULDN'T.STOP IT AND THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY NATURAL.  SHE TOLD HIM TO SEE A DOCTOR,  SHE WAS CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY HE WOULD BLOW HIS GUTS OUT.
 
THE YEARS WENT BY AND HE CONTINUED TO RIP THEM OUT. THEN ONE
THANKSGIVING MORNING AS SHE WAS PREPARING THE TURKEY FOR DINNER AND HE WAS UPSTAIRS SOUND ASLEEP,  SHE LOOKED AT THE INNARDS AND NECK, GIZZARD, LIVER AND ALL THE SPARE PAR TS AND A MALICIOUS THOUGHT CAME TO HER.
 
SHE TOOK THE BOWL AND WENT UPSTAIRS WHERE HER HUSBAND WAS SOUND ASLEEP AND, GENTLY PULLING THE BED COVERS BACK, SHE PULLED BACK THE ELASTIC WAISTBAND OF HIS UNDERPANTS AND EMPTIED THE BOWL OF TURKEY GUTS INTO HIS SHORTS 
 
SOME TIME LATER SHE HEARD HER HUSBAND WAKE  WITH HIS USUAL TRUMPETING WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A BLOOD CURDLING SCREAM AND THE SOUND OF FRANTIC FOOT STEPS AS HE RAN INTO THE BATH ROOM. THE WIFE COULD HARDLY CONTROL HERSELF AS SHE ROLLED ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING, TEARS IN HER EYES!  AFTER YEARS OF TORTURE SHE RECKONED SHE HAD GOT HIM BACK PRETTY GOOD..
 
ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES LATER, HER HUSBAND CAME DOWNSTAIRS IN HIS  BLOODSTAINED UNDERPANTS WITH A LOOK OF HORROR ON HIS FACE.  SHE BIT HER LIP AS SHE ASKED HIM WHAT WAS THE MATTER.
 
HE SAID, "HONEY YOU WERE RIGHT.  ALL THESE YEARS YOU HAVE WARNED ME AND I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU".
 
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?"  ASKED HIS WIFE.
 
"WELL, YOU ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT ONE DAY I WOULD END UP F*RTING MY GUTS OUT, AND TODAY IT FINALLY HAPPENED."
 
"BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, SOME VASELINE AND TWO FINGERS,  I THINK I GOT MOST OF THEM BACK IN!"]]></content:encoded>

We was doing our snuggling, gettin' ready to dream sweet dream 
things, when all of a sudden....BOOM!  CRASH!! BANG!!!
I turned around and looked at Mommie, my eyes much bigger
than the old proverbial saucers, scared poopless!
What was that pray tell?
Whaddaya mean it was lightning???  It doesn't lightning in April!
It's not summer, for goodness sake!  It's not even quite spring,
thanks to all the stupid snow and cold that keeps showing up!
So, okay, it rained.  Real hard.  And then the blast of lightning
that nearly knocked me off the bed.  And then, the wind blew,
and blew, and blew....and....
And, then, when I got up and stuck my nosey little nose out the 
window this morning, I saw SNOW!!!!!!!  I HATE snow.  I thought 
it rained?
What's with the snow?  Well, that's a fine howdoyado!
I'm going back to bed.

She got a cold and spent 6 days on the couch.  Then, she started
a medication to help her stop smoking and it makes her sick,
too.  But, she is determined not to smoke anymore.  I am so glad!
I hate smoke, but, I have never told her that.  And, I don't like
the way she coughs, either.  I want my Mommie to live furever!
So, she has been sick and I really don't know what to do to help.  
I cuddle with her at night, and wake her up so she can pet me and 
I know for sure that makes her feel better.
I stick my nose in her face, too, to make sure she is breathing.
So far, so good.
I guess what I can do is just love her, huh?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I have been in trouble so much this last week that I just
might take up permanent residence under the bed.  It was
in the 60's and 70's off and on this past week, so,   Ma and Pa
have been letting Mawsie and me go outdoors....only there's
one stipulation....they have to be there with us and we have 
to stay by the house!  Yeah, but.....
I have other world's to explore.  I <I>nee-eeed</i>  to go to
the other side of the house or under the porch or over near 
that house next door.  I <I>have </i> to.  Really.
If they are dumb enough to look the other way for one second,
I'm willing to take the chance.  I can run like the wind!   In fact,
it's pretty funny when Pa decides it's time to go in.    He thinks
he can outsmart me.  Imagine.  A man outsmarting a woman!
Ha!  And besides he has this huge growth just above his belt
and when he runs, he gasps for air!  Gawd, that's funny!  He makes 
some pretty strange sounds, sorta squeaky like a mouse.  
Anyway, after about three trips around the house, he calls in the
woman....Mommie.  Now that is serious stuff.  How do you outsmart
a woman? Especially one with a voice like a screaming banshee?
That's usually the end of the game.  She sounds serious. 
Pink, pink!  In the door I go...now what was that all about?
Well, a couple of days ago, Mommie was napping and when she 
got up, Daddy was washing her car.  She oohed and aahed and then,
he told her the bad news.  I had escaped...again.  But, he had kept
a lookout on me and I was there, until, I wasn't.  He couldn't find me.
He went around the house and into the shop and all over.  He even
looked under the house porch a couple of times.  When Mommie heard 
I was missing, the cat fur hit the fan!  &*^&%#$^&(!!!  so, she started
looking too.  She also sent Daddy around the house next door and a 
few other unlikely places.  He was a little purple in the face by that
time and she was getting close to tears.  Mama sat on the concrete
bench, thinking she could sit there awhile and keep an eye out in
all directions.  She needed a bit of a break...old ya know.  And she 
looked about to cry.
Well, I knew I was in BIG, BIG  trouble.   Really big trouble.
I sneaked out from under the porch where I had been watching all
the excitement for about an hour and peeked just so barely over
the porch step.  I figured all they could see was the tips of my little 
ears.   Dang...this was trouble.  But, I didn't want the old gal crying
again. Her face gets all squishy and wet and I hate wet kisses!
Daddy saw me and said, "That little (censored), there she is!"
Ma didn't see me at first, but, then she is blind as a bat.  She 
finally saw me and I knew it was curtains.  She opened the door and
I took my fluffy little behind in.

I do not look like a puppy.  I do not bark like a puppy.
I am wondering if he is hard of seeing?

Puppies smell like.....dogs.  Have you ever smelled one of 
those buggers after they have had a bath?
I know he likes to think of himself as a cat hater....but, I know
a little secret!!!  <I>He really does like me!</i>  Ha ha!!
I am kinda worried about him though....
He is going to have another birthday next month, so maybe
that's it....he's getting older than dirt.
Maybe he is really, really senile.
Or stoopid!  (DO NOT EVER TELL HIM I SAID THAT!)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Last night was just a terrible night.  I had the worst
nightmares ever, in my whole little life!
It was scary!
I was laying there at the foot of Mommy's bed, all cuddled
up on my own little blanket.  I was warm and had eaten a bite
or two.... or three... before retiring.
I was dreaming nice pleasant dreams  that I was taking a walk
in the park.  It was so pretty...lots of flowers and nice things to 
smell.  Birds flying overhead and then I was all of a sudden 
dreaming about horrible dogs, growling and snarling and trying
to drag me off into the bushes.  I was so scared! I dreamt the 
dogs were trying to drag me off into the huge cavernous lake!
The growling got worse, much worse!
It got so loud I finally woke up!
When I woke up, I realised that all that racket was Mommie!
She was snoring something awful!  And somehow I had gotten
up close to her mouth.  When I opened my eyes, it scared
the kittypoop outta me!  I thought I had fallen into that big cavern!
I am never going to eat before going to bed again!]]></content:encoded>

excitement as spring blooms
in glorious abundance.
a family of geese parade by...
little golden balls of fluff
marching like little soldiers 
in unison...
commanded 
by 
the sargeant at wings
and 
mom.
their little feet tickle the grass
and 
they head towards the water.
i watch them swim,
ironing out my troubles
on the smooth, glass of the blue river.
i see a solitary goose
and he honks a hello
and i feel sad
wondering why he is alone
and remembering times i was too.
an eagle soars overhead
writing invisible messages in the sky
i can read them though.
he says,
i am proud
i am free
i am beautiful
and he is.
and my day is made better
sharing it with

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I was busy today...avoidng DeLayna.  She's Mommie's
niece and I like her a lot, onlyest she had a noisy floor sucker
with her!  It was scary!  She came over to help Mommie and 
she was a busy girl!  
I was lucky for awhile 'cuz Daddy took Mawsie and me outside.  
It was so nice out there!  The sun was shining and the sky was 
azure blue.  The mountain, Old Baldy just sat there like a big 
fat king, proud as can be!
I sniffed and sniffed, but, couldn't smell any flowers or grass 
on the way yet.  But, I am sure they are there.  I was rolling
n the grass and I heard Mommie yell something at Mawsie.
Well, sure 'nuff, she was ready to pull the old Super Attack
on me while I was doin' my rollin'!  She is so-ooo mean!
Any ways, Daddy made us go back in...he had to chase me
around the porch twice and then he went for reinforcements.
Ma.  Mommie held the door and this time there was no escape.
Dang, I hate that!  Wish I was a tad bit faster.  Smarter I already 
am, but, not smarter than Mommie!  Hee hee!!!
Then, everything was fine till DeLayna got that noisy floor sucker out.
Ma said,  "Well, now, Dancer if you didn't shed hair all over the house,
we wouldn't need a noisy floor sucker, now would we?
Sure.....blame me!  I always get blamed for everything!
She sucked up so much cat hair that we coulda made a new cat! 
Maybe a nice one and trade Mawsie in!!!  Yeah, that's it!  That's 
exactly what we should do!  And another thing here, just for the 
record, Mawsie sheds more than I do.
So there.]]></content:encoded>

but, I heard Mommie telling Daddy  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Don't know if you read my diary entry about the alien potatoes, 
but, I heard Mommie telling Daddy quite a story.
A long time ago, Mommie moved to a ranch.  She was a city girl.
Rather than go into the great and not so grand details, I just wanna
tell you about the potatoes.
She was cooking dinner and got out tators to cook.  They had
the sprouts on them, and were getting kinda soft.  So, she started
to throw them out.  But, thinking, heck it's nearly Spring, she 
decided to put them outside near the ditch and then later on she
would have some nice potatoes to eat.
Out she goes with her potatoes cut in pieces, ready to plant.
She's digging around, the ground is hard and she happens to look
and lo and behold!!!....there's a handy dandy hole there!
Well, what a wonderful thing!  Ready made potato holes!
So, she sticks  a piece of potato in each hole and thinking about
her nice harvest later on, she heads to the house, happy as a lark!
A few days later, she had a few more tators also with sprouts on them,
so out she goes!  (She was pretty pleased with herself,  "Waste not,
want not...")  and she went over to plant some more.
"Eeee-eeeek!"  Her potatoes were gone!  Every single one of them!
GONE!
Well, what a mystery that was!
Oh oh....
Well, then she realised that each and every nice little handy hole had
been dug by a gopher!  A hungry gopher, that liked potatoes...a lot.
They had breakfast.
Mommie didn't get any potatoes that year, but, she had some nice 
fat gophers!
(Unfortunately, this is a true story.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, once again, I got my little fuzzy butt in trouble last
night.  Ma had the door open 'cuz Daddy said there was an orange 
cat out there.  She had put some food out and was calling for the kitty.
And, seeing no opportunity wasted, I went out the door, just as she
was closing it.  I think she heard a bump, ( ME ) as the door bumped
into me and sure enough, she looked and there I was!  Outside.
Er-rrr....I think that ticked her off a little bit, maybe 'cuz it was
cold outside and she was worried about lil ol' me.  Or maybe not.
Maybe she didn't want to freeze her buns off chasing me.
Maybe it was because she did not want to come outside and chase 
me all over Timbucktoo!  Especially with no jacket on, at 5 above.
That 5 degrees above zero...yup...cold.
Well, seeing as how I knew I was dead meat, I took off around the
corner, only there was this mile long strip of snow.  Deep,  COLD
snow.  So, I ran along it for awhile while Mommy ran behind and to
the right of me trying to head me off!  Well, that worked 'cuz I wasn't 
wanting to be in that snow anyway.  So, I headed back to the door
thinking I would take a handy dandy detour and run around the other
side of the house.  Onlyest....there was more snow!!!  LOTS!
So, I got on the porch thinking I could bail off and jump over the
snow, when this really mad, really COLD Mommie got up on the 
porch and threatened to kill me a little bit.  So, being smarter than 
I look, I quickly went inside....just missing getting booted with 
the end of her slipper!  And , besides,  I was getting cold anyway.
(Dang, she's cute when she's mad!)
Well, I'm siting there, shivering, getting dirty looks from you-know-who
and I hear her talking to Daddy.
Does anyone know what a coyote is or a fox?
For some reason she said that they come out at night.
So what?
Am I not faster than a speeding bullet?
Smarter than um-mmm....er....okay forget that one.
Oh, well, if it pleases the old gal, I'll just stay inside on these very cold,
very wet days and nights.]]></content:encoded>

(Sometimes that is not a good thing as Mommie doesn't see me,
and she locks me in.)
Anyway, I was moseying about, checking things, looking for mouses,
like I always do, and I ran into some Alien Potatoes!!   
Really!
I am not kidding!  They were really weird!  They had antennas
sticking out all over.  I am sure they were sending messages to 
each other!  They were terribly scary looking critters.
I sneaked up on them and smelled,  sure, they smelled like
potatoes, but, they sure didn't look like potatoes!
I tried to grab Mommie's leg to let her know, but, she just shooed 
me outta there!
"But, Mommie, you got alien potaoes!!!"
She just closed the door.
Well, I paced back and forth in front of the pantry for awhile, 
trying to get her attention.
Didn't work.
Fine.
I just give up.
Nobody ever listens to me in this house.
I went over to the closet and peeked in, making sure there weren't
any alien potatoes in there, and curled up for a nap.
My dreams were freaky!!!
Alien potatoes were after me!
And Mommie didn't care.  
When I got up from my nap, Mommie was in the kitchn, cutting up
all those potatoes.  I heard her tell Daddy she had to get them all 
used up, that they had sprouted.  Sprouted?  Is that what those
antennas are? 
Phew, we're safe!]]></content:encoded>

I am so thrilled.  I am a Daily diary pick.  Now, how cool is that?

I am so glad I do not have to have a picture on, because, last 
night, Mawsie the Lawsie swiped me across the nose and I have 
a hole by my nose.  That hurt!  Stung like a bee.  I went in and lay
down by Mommie, feeling pretty sad.  I don't know why she is so
mean to me.  I was laying there, gulping, feeling just terrible.
Mommie petted me and talked baby talk and she was so nice to
me. 
 
sob....I wish Mawsie would be nice.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie posted on one of the help forums to get some help with this.
Now, she's awfully smart in some ways...this just doesn't happen to be
one of them.  Anyway this is the question:

I am having a problem that I just can't figure out.  I am not a computer genius, but, have tried several things to see if it would work.  Nothing has.  When I log in, I can't get the auotmatic log in to work.  I don't have this problem with any other site, but, Catster.
I have deleted cookie and files and history.
I just don't know what else to do.
Any one ever had this problem?  If so, any ideas on what I can do?  
All help appreciated.  

So, if any of you really smart cats know what to do, let Ma know.
She is going goofy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Today is the old gal's burf-day.  In dog years, she ain't
gonna make it too much longer, 'cuz she is already 441 years 
OLD!  She got outta bed this morning and went in the litter
box room, (her own) and was washing her face.  I was thinking
she better smear on some of that gooey stuff  on her face,'cuz 
she was looking pretty scary!  Hope she didn't feel as bad as she
looked!  Poor Mommie!
She had curled her hair last night and took out the curlers and
she sort of resembled Little Orhan Annie!  snicker snicker*
But, she's cute.  (cough cough!)  I was watching and I just about
had a heart attack!  Her teeth were in a cup!  HER TEETH!!!
Egads, what is happening to this woman?  I checked just to make
sure and her nose and eyes and ears were all in the right place,
none of them were in the cup....thank goodness!   Poor Mommie,
however is she going to catch any mice to eat?  
Well, that gave me an idea.  I know what I can get for her burf-day,
New teeth!!  Onlyest, I don't know where to find any.
Anycat out there got some we can give her to glue in?
I am worried she just might lose them so we will need to get some
good glue, too.
I went into the other litter box where dear old Daddy powders his
nose, thinking just maybe I could find some old teeth there...
<I>EGADS!!!!</I>  his were in a cup, too!  
Hm-mmmm....well,....snort....so what I did, was take his and put
them in Mommie's cup and put hers in his.
<I>That</i> outta solve the problem,, don'tcha think?
Happy burf-day, Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

the floors for me?  I know Mommie would like it too!!  Especially
at night when she heads to her litter box and the bathroom is so 
cold!  Hey, Daddy, ya hear that?  Radiant heat.  Your girls want it!
My friend Baby G is COTD!!!!!!  Yippee!!!  I feel speshul just knowing

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am a diary pick!
I am so tickled!  Mommie is tickled too.  I think she is more tickled
than me.  Mommie is weird.  She is getting weirder every day.
But, then, she is getting older every day, too.  Does that have
anything to do with it?  One thing that bugs me is that she gets
off the subject and forgets what she is doing.  I hate that!
Now, what was I saying?
Um-mmm....
Oh!  Yeah!
I am really, really a diary pick today.  I have got some emails
and some rosettes and I need to look at all of them yet.  I got 
so excited that I wanted to write in my diary and thank Catster
and my furr-riends first!
My sister Mawsie said I probably paid somebody to get picked
for one of the diary of the day cats.  She is just mean and jealous.
As usual.
I don't know what I would pay someone with anyway.  I'm a 
poor cat and besides, I don't have any pockets to put anything in.
So there, Mawsie.  
She can't ruin my moment of fame!  I'm gonna enjoy every moment
of this bee-oo-ti-ful day!
Thanks, Catster!!!  You're cool!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>OH!  OH!  OH!
I must have known this was going to be a very special day.  I poked
my little nose into Mommie's drooly chin this morning at about 
5:10 AM.  Woke her right up!  She muttered a couple of un-niceties
and finally got up at 5:15 AM.  (Good girl!)
She put on the coffee and took a brisk walk....to her litter box,
And when the coffee was done, she headed for the computer room.
There were bunches of mails from Catster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I won CAT OF THE YEAR on <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/group/==_4_the_love_of_cats_==-56"><B><I><U>4 THE LOVE OF CATS GROUP!</A></B></U></I>
Isn't that just the most wunnerful thing?  If you would like to look, just
click on the name above and it will take you there.  And of course, if you
would like to join the group, you can do so.  Maybe next year you will
be the winner!  But, if not, it's still a nice group of kitties.
Fluff sent me an email this morning!  Thank mew so very much, Fluff!
And thank mew for the winners cup and the special pretty star.
And thanks to all my friends who voted for me...okay so I begged a bit.
But, I sure do thank mew all.
And thanks for the nice emails from everyone!!!
Mawsie is just so very jealous!  Hey, she should be happy.  She gets
to be my sister and that is something special!!  Hee hee!!!
She told me not to let it go to my head.  She said I am still just a stupid
cat without a tail.  Plug your ears for a moment 'cuz I am ging to use some
foreign words here....(Gr-rrrr....gr-rrrr....)  Mawsie so so jealous!
Mommie says we will have a special celebratory meal today to celebrate
my wunnerful news.  I might even let Mawse have a bite.
I love you all!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mawsie and me have been tagged to tell what we want for
Christmas.  Ma is awfully busy and right now she won't have
the time to do this.  I am awfully sorry.  Filly the Swift of Rohan
sent the last tag.  
I will put down what I want for Christmas but, I really really am 
sorry that she won't have time to do the rest.

1.  I want my sister cat Mawse to love me.
2.  Double doses of love and pets and hugs all year long!
3.  I want a million bucks so Mommie can set up a cat and 
dog sanctuary here in Townsend.  There's no place to take feral
cats in our county.  
4.  I want to win CAT OF THE YEAR on the 4 the love of cats site!
5.  I want love for every cat and dog everywhere.  Lots of food and
a nice place to live.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Two more days!  Just two more days!
Christmas is coming!!!
Whoopie!
Huh?
Mawsie says,  "What are you so excited about?  You've been bad
all year and Santa Claus ain't bringin' you NOTHIN'!"
"Is, too, "  says Dancer.
"Not,"  says a grinning evil Mawse.
"I was good....sometimes."
"I know better.  You are a brat and you think you are so cute."
"Well, I <I>am </i> cute!"  says Dancer while being extra cute.
"No, you're ugly" says Mawse,  "and Santa Claus doesn't like ugly
cats!"
"Well, he likes <I>YOU</I> doesn't he?"  Dancer spits!
"Yeah, 'cuz I am beautiful and he likes blue-eyed cats the best!"
"Does not."
"Does, too."
"Well, there's a package under the tree and it has my name on it."
Dancer squeaks.
"Oh, yeah?  Well, <I>MY </i> name is on it too!  So there!"
"My name is on it, I looked!"
"That was a mistake, I am sure,"  Mawse drawls in the Siamese cat
tone she likes to use to bug Dancin' Girl.
"Is not."
"Is too....nobody in their right mind would ever buy you a present!"
"Yes they would....I think...Mommie would!"
"Yeah, but, Mommie is stupid and old."

"MAWSIE....I HEARD THAT!  GO TO YOUR ROOM!"  says Mommie
who prefers not to think of herself as old.  And then she mutters
something to herself about cat fights and two nasty sister cats
that can't get along.  

Dancer just sits there, looking real innocent and smiling.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> I am so very lucky to have <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=492197&j=t"><b><i>LITTLE ONE MY TWIN!</a></b></i> and 
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=492178&j=t"><b><i>BABY-G!</a></b></i>
for my furr-riends.  You see yesterday, I was having a terrible day
and when Mommie and Daddy picked up the mail, there was a card
for Mawsie and me.  And it had something speshul in it!  And it was 
from them, my friends!!!  I was so tickled to get my very own candy
bar.  Mommie always goes yum yum when she eats a candy bar and
she won't let me have any.  BUT!!!  This one is all mine!  It is made of
my favorite....capnip.  I just loves it!
I want to thank them for thinking of me and Mawsie.  What very nice
kitty friends they are...and their Mommy is so very nice to help them
get it mailed and all.
Well, like I said, my day yesterday wasn't so too very good.  I had
bleeding in my tush.  I didn't feel too good.  And it was still there 
today.  I had to go to the DOC-TERROR to get my shots updated today.
Just what I needed....more misery.  He prodded and poked and stuck
a stick thingy where it should NEVER EVER go.  Said I had lost a 
half pound....(I know where it went, fat Mawsie gained it!  And it's
her fault Mommie has taken our food away at night.)
He said there wasn't any blood on the thermommyeater and that was
a good thing.  So then to top off all of this *&^%$#%^!!  treating me
like an ugly step-child, then he gave me a shot!  A GREAT BIG ONE 
WITH A GREAT BIG NEEDLE.  
So, now I am laying on the bed...and I won't talk to anyone.  
I hate being the subject of torture.
I'm a nice cat and I don't deserve this kind of treatment.

BUT, I do want to thank my furr=riends, Little-One and Baby-G.
At least they love me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am doing pretty good on the CAT OF THE YEAR CONTEST!
That's 'cause I have such good friends like YOU!
I worked very hard to get votes....I think I would be a good
pussytician.  I have done everything but, beg for votes.
"What?"  Dancer says, "<I>I did not!</i>
Mawse says,  "You did too beg."
"Did not!"
"Did, too!!!"
"Didn't."
"Did."
Then, Mawsie walks off with that swagger that Dancer hates, 
smiling to herself.
"Okay, so I begged a little.  Just a little bit.  Okay, so I begged
a whole big bunch!!"
Is that a bad thing?
Am I rotten to the core?
Am I a useless piece of cat fur like Mawsie says?
Am I pitiful excuse for the feline race...like Mawsie also says?

Oh, (snort* * * !!!!)  I get it!  She's just jealous!!!
Ha ha hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhaha..snort!
Oh, and if you haven't voted for me, you can click on the link in my
diary info on the right.  Does that mean I am begging?
Yup!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I know many of you read my diary to see what is going on in my
simple life.  I also know that you know that I know that we know
that Mawsie my sister beats me to a pulp and likes it.  She has been
a meanie to me since I came in the door three years ago.  I can't help
it if I am cute and Mommie thinks I am darling.  And Mawsie is jealous.
I can't help it.  I did try to be friends with her...now I don't care.
(Okay so I care but, it just won't work.)
Anyway, I am finally getting one over Mawsie.  She is so mad!
I told her I was nominated to be one of the finalists in the 
CAT OF THE YEAR CONTEST.  She didn't believe me.  She said 
the only thing I could be nominated for was NERD OF THE MONTH.
Wauuuggghhhh!  snort*
So...I got on the puter and showed the nonbeliever the great mews.
I have been nominated.  It is from the fun group 4 THE LOVE OF CATS.
She was ticked!
Now, why am I writin' all this?
wellll....snort...couldja, wouldja vote for me?
Mawsie said I would never, ever win in a million trillion years.
I want to prove her wrong.
So if you got just one little minute, Purr-lease vote for me.
Let's show Mawsie I am a winner!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>All I want for Christmas is to be Catster's Pick of the day!
Don't need no catnip, no food that is special, no fun little toys,
no nothin' 'cept being The PICK OF THE DAY!
What?  Mawsie says I am being greedy.  *snort!* * *
I AM NOT!!! 
I haven't got a greedy bone in my fat little body.
Mawsie says there are thousands of cats on Catster that wish for the
very same thing and why do I think I am so special?
UM-mmmm....I.....um-mmm...
*snort*  hiccup! ?
Um-mmm.....well, I am cute for one thing.  
I am funny, too.  Just ask Mommie.  She says I am cute and funny.
"Yeah,"  Mawse says,  "Funny lookin'!"
"Ma-aaaaa....Mawsie is picking on me!!!!!"
"Besides, if they are going to pick a cat for Christmas, most likely
it will be me,"  Mawse informs Dancer.
"HA!  And how did you come to that brilliant deduction?"  asks Dancer.
"Because the  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/12"><i>CATSTER CAT</a></b></i> sent me a star."
"Mawse, you are the one who is stupid.  The Catster Cat sent <i>EVERYONE</I>  a star!"
"Oh,...." said Mawse. 

At long last Dancer got the best of Mawse!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Sniff....I am feeling too happy for my own good.  I am receiving 
so many nice gifts from my friends and sometimes I just wonder if 
I deserve all this.  *sniff*  I hope I have been very good this year.
Not only to my friends, but, to kitties I don't know.  Oh...that's right.
I snarled at one of the ones that was in my window this last summer.
I wasn't very nice.  I feel so bad about it now.  That little kitty didn't
have a home and I certainly know how that feels.  It's not a good 
feeling for sure.  *sniff*  I try to be good, Most of the time.  
Sometimes, it's hard.
Anyway....I sure do love all my friends.  Oh...and I got two real
Christmas cards in the mail!  I will tell you more later.  Ha ha! 
Mommie hasn't even gotten one yet!
And....thank you to all the nice friends for the cards and gifts and 
rosettes!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie's at it again!  She insisted that I wear a Christmas hat! 
A Santa hat on a cat.  Doesn't fly with me.  You can see the results 
in my new slide show.
Mawsie didn't have to do it.  How disgusting!  Just because she 
had a tooth pulled doesn't mean she shouldn't have to put up with
Mother's stupid Christmas spirit stuff.  snort*!!!  Mommie might 
hurt Mawsie's jaw.....wah wah wah....too bad!  If you think I feel
sorry for Mawsie, you are wrong.  She deserves it.  She is the
meanest cat in the world.  I am nice.
Even if I do look stupid in the Santa hat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I have appointed myself to patrol the house during the day.
At night I patrol Mommie.  She is really, REALLY old, ya know.
I worry myself sick when she goes to sleep.  Sometimes it's hard 
to tell if the old gal is breathing or not.  So, about every hour or 
so, I make a bed patrol and walk around her boney old body till 
I get up in her face.
I stick my whiskers near her nose and if they move, I know she's 
still alive.
Sometimes they just barely move and that worries me, so I have 
to push her a tad bit with my own nose.  She usually moves then.  A lot.
More than necessary actually.   And it's usually with some very naughty
words and then I have to plug my little ears.   
Ah, but, at least I know she is okay.
Then, in another hour or so, I head back up, tripping over the bones 
again, and do the whisker duty again.  Sometimes I have to put my 
paw in her face.
Once I accidently left out one of my claws.  Didn't mean to.  But, it was 
kinda funny to see how fast the old gal can move!  It's pretty amazing 
how fast I can move too!  I was off the bed in a shot!  zing!!!!  I heard 
her mumbling again...as she headed to her litter box....something 
about getting rid of a cat.  Humph.  'Bout time she got rid of that 
grumpy old Mawsie.
I take my job seriously.  I will not be deterred.  Not by anything or 
anyone.
Not even a little old lady with a bad attitude.  
And speaking of bad.....I sure would like it if she would leave the 
garlic bread alone.]]></content:encoded>

		<title>&lt;b&gt;A DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS POEM</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>A Different Christmas Poem 

 

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, 

I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. 

My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, 

My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. 

 

Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, 

Transforming the yard to a winter delight. 

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, 

Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. 

 

My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, 

Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. 

In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, 

So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. 

 

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, 

But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. 

Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, 

Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. 

 

My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, 

And I crept to the door just to see who was near. 

Stan ding out in the cold and the dark of the night, 

A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. 

 

A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old, 

Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold. 

Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled, 

Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child. 

 

"What are you doing?", I asked without fear, 

"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here. 

Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve, 

You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve. 

 

For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, 

Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts, 

To the window that danced with a warm fire's light. 

Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right, 

 

I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." 

"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line, 

That separates you from the darkest of times. 

No one had to ask or beg or implore me." 

 

"I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me. 

My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,' 

Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers." 

 

"My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ', 

And now it is my turn and so, here I am. 

I've not seen my own son in more than a while, 

But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile." 

 

Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag, 

The red, white, and blue... an American flag. 

"I can live through the cold and the being alone, 

Away from my family, my house and my home." 

 

"I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet, 

I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. 

I can carry the weight of killing another, 

Or lay down my life with my sister and brother." 

 

Who stand at the front against any and all, 

To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall." 

"So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright, 

Your family is waiting and I'll be all right." 

 

"But isn't there something I can do, at the least, 

"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast? 

It seems all too little for all that you've done, 

For being away from your wife and your son." 

 

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret, 

"Just tell us you love us, and never forget. 

To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone, 

To stand your own watch, no matter how long." 

 

"For when we come home, either standing or dead, 

To know you remember we fought and we bled. 

Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, 

That we mattered to you as you mattered to us." 

 

PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? 

Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities.  Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe.  Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.]]></content:encoded>

She looks like she has been drug by the tail through the manure!
Don't tell her I said that or I won't be getting any more turkey!  I think she is tired, after all she is  441 in dog years!   *snort!!!
Don't tell her I said that either....she'll pop me in the kisser!

She kept telling Daddy that she was cutting back on the food this year.....yeah, right!  Then, how come there's enough to feed all the cats and dogs in Montana left over in the refrigerator?
It's a good thing Mawsie and me like trukey!  Whatever would she do with all that stuff?
I am making a little menu here to give her to help.
Catnip turkey casserole
Turkey and salmon ragout
Turkey Oriental with a hint of catnip
Turkey noodle kibble  with chicken livers

Sounds mighty tasty to me!]]></content:encoded>

Well, just let me tell you, I am very thanks-full for the good smells here.  and then, Mawsie told me it will be really tasty smelling tomorrow when she cooks a turkey.  M-mmmmm....I like turkey!  Then, I will be really thanks-full with a whole tummy full of goodies!  Hee hee!
I am purdy thanks-ful that I live here.  I love my Pa and Ma.  Daddy likes to pretend he is a cat hater, but, ya outta see the old guy play with his 
Dancin' Girl!  Cat hater, indeed!!! 
I am thanks-full that we found a home for the last kitty that was wild, too.  I know what that feels like, in fact, that's how I got on at this place.  I heard about this lady who gave out free food and free pettings!!!  Yeowzers!!!  My kinda place!  I just mosied down and acted real cute, (which is no problem, by the way,) and rubbadubdubdubbed her and I knew she was a goner.  I came back once or twice and finally....(phew!!!) she caught me!  
And Mawsie says I am stupid!  Ha!
Happy turkey leg to you!

So we have something very special to be thankful for.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I think my Ma and Pa are going off their rockers!  You wouldn't believe what they are up to now!  We moved here last year and there was this big hot stove in the frontroom that Pa filled with wood in the winter time!  It was 
so-ooo toasty warm!  My little paws were so happy!  I would get on my bear rug and sit there and purr and dream wonderful kitty dreams.  Nice.
Well, I don't know what to think now?
They took that nice hot stove out and brought in another one, much like the previous one.  It looks pretty much the same.  Only now is where it gets weird.
Evidently they can't afford to buy wood and they are using cat food to fill it up!  Yup...I'm not lying!  Honest!  Cat food!  It's just like what Mawsie and I eat every day!  It doesn't smell as good though.  Sort of smells like wood, in fact.
Now, how weird  is that?  I am beginning to wonder what is going on with these two old people?  Are they really, truly, losing it?  And why would they use up all that nice cat food in the stove and burn it up to keep warm?
Beyond me.
I think I will go ask Mawsie, my sister, if they are completely nuts or what.

"Oh."   snort.

"I AM NOT STUPID, MAWSIE!  AND IF YOU CALL ME THAT AGAIN....I AM GOING TO TELL MOMMIE!"

Okay, so it isn't cat food.  It's called pellets.  And it's made of wood.  At least that's what Mawsie says.  She thinks she is so smart.  She said it is a pellet stove, not a wood stove and if I had any brains, I would have known that!
Well, it looked like cat food to me!

Stand For Our Courageous Military Heroes



In a long-standing tradition that honors those who have served our country courageously, the American flag is precisely folded into a star-covered triangle and presented to the grieving family. Each fold has a sacred meaning, including references to God and our religious heritage. In an age of war, where our brave military men and women have been asked to pay the ultimate sacrifice, it comes as a stinging slap in the face to grieving families and the memory of our heroes to have this honor revoked by a heckling few. We must demand this highest and most sacred tradition be protected by our Commander-in-Chief. Our military heroes deserve nothing less. Please read the form carefully and declare your membership with the ACLJ by signing our online Petition to Protect Military Funerals.

Petition to Protect Military Funerals

The Honorable President George W. Bush
The Veterans Administration

As a freedom-loving citizen and member of the American Center for Law and Justice, I urge you to stand for our fallen heroes. In a time of war, our courageous soldiers, grieving families, and time-honored military traditions should never fall into question or debate. I respectfully request that military funerals be given the utmost protection by our Commander-in-Chief. Please rescind the ban and ensure that both the oral and written explanation of the flag-folding ceremony be given to our nation's grieving families. Our military heroes deserve nothing less.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>                      Insight

            Cherri Petty Shinaberger ÂŠ



Insight from a child:  "What good does it do if they cure the body, but the person inside dies?"

I thought, this is so inspirational...leave it to a child!  How many of us go about our day to day living in such a frivolous way....never thinking about dying inside?

I don't want to die inside, do you?   There's something we can do!  We need to make angels in the snow, pop balloons and make them sing that silly song they do.  We need to get down on the floor and play with our kids and grandchildren.  Laugh and giggle like kids just because it feels good.  
Pick huge bouquets of wildflowers...and share them with neighbors.  
Read sentimental, syrupy, sweet poetry and gushy love stories.  
Dance like fairies in the rain,  send cards to Grammas.  Play dress up. 
Hug each other ...and the dog.  Sing at the top of our lungs even if we sound like a coyote with laryngitis.  Roll on the rug like puppies.  Make mud pies,  taste snowflakes with our tongue. Have a picnic in the snow with real candles and a checkered tablecloth!   Watch sunrises even if it's way too early in the morning and watch sunsets because they are magnificent!
Capture smiles and sunset on film...and share them with everybody!  
Forgive and especially forget.  Remember the past is just that...past.  
Share everything....especially smiles.  Kiss and love with wild abandon!  
Dress like you have a date with (insert name of favorite movie star) and put on a pretty hat!
Have pajama parties with your friends and grandkids....they will love it if you are silly!  (Mine do.)
Talk baby talk...act like Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot!  Gorge yourself on ice cream while sitting in a bubble bath!  Spray the room full of your favorite perfume. Spoil yourself!
Hold a kitten to your nose and feel it's softness...then purr.
Tell every one that you care for that you love them...now...because tomorrow may be too late.  Blow bubbles in the wind...chase butterflies, 
(but never catch one) chew bubblegum just because it feels good in your mouth.  Pick dandelions and give them to your best friend 
(does your friend like butter?)
Plant flowers and trees and name them for someone you love or admire. 
(we have eleven grandchildren and we are planting a tree for watch one of them.)  Call someone you haven't called for a long time and let them know you care.  Right a wrong...be the first to say you are sorry.  Lay in the yard on the damp grass and watch the stars sparkle.  Give to the poor and remember our animal friends...adopt a pet at the animal shelter.  
And never, never give up hope.
Smile....love...pray...dance....sing...enjoy life.  Give it all you got!  
Most of these things cost nothing.
If you do even one of these things on this list every day....you will never die inside.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Breast cancer is a scary word.  My Mommie heard it 5 years ago.  She said her heart went down to her knees.  She said she could outrun bullets but, she couldn't outrun Breast cancer.  It was hard.  Chemo, radiation, Arimidex, affected nodes, positive, lumpectomy....so many words for the fear of death.
My Mom got lucky.  She survived.  Some don't.  Many are very young, many are old.  They are all scared.  And that part doesn't go away.  The fear.
Usually Dancer and I write fun, silly things here, since that is definitely Dancer's personality.  She is full of fun and life.  But, she also knows, she loves her Mommie and wants her to live.  And she wants your Mommie to live too.
We have a favor to ask.  Could you please take a moment out of your day, and 
<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.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2"><b><i>CLICK TO GIVE FREE MAMMOS ON THE BREAST CANCER SITE!  IT'S FREE!</A></B></I>
We would be forever grateful!!!  
  

Here is a poem Mommie wrote shortly after finding the lump that changed her life forever:




                          the lump

          cherri petty shinaberger ÂŠ
  
i roll over in bed...uncomfortable...arranging my breast, 
as the discomfort is noticeable 
and i find a lump. 
small, intrusive....a chilling thought  of cancer 
the breath squeezes out of me..... 
life..... 
and i reason with myself..... 
there is no cancer like this in my family.... 
and i close my eyes to the possibility.... 
but not my mind. 
what if.... 
no..... 
it isn't.......... 
but if it were? 
no. 
my mind plays havoc........ 
......go to sleep, it's okay. 
but, deep inside that lump tells me something is wrong. 
it's small.... 
isn't there supposed to be something more than this? 
finally, i sleep...with fitful dreams about death  and dying. 

i make the appointment....almost afraid.....telling myself it is nothing to worry about. 
she doesn't say anything much... 
just makes me another appointment with another doctor. 
they do one thing then another..... 
biopsy is an unkind word...isn't it? 
cancer is worse. 
and i have to deal with the reality of that word. 
i have to .....fall apart. 
i have to. 
they do a lumpectomy......another scary word. 
one node......just one damn node......... 
i start crying in the doctor's office. 
i didn't expect to hear that...........why? 

why..........we must all ask that question. 

i feel like they took a butcher saw to my arm. 
i am in a horrible daze or dream. 
i am only beginning. 
i have a long way to go. 
the trip is a frightful one. 
and with all the prayers and friends in the world...... 
you still go it alone with the monster in your head 
that will not quiet....that preys on your fear. 
the boogey man that is going to get you. 
he did. 
he does. 
and i choke on the feelings of helplessness. 

chemo............ 
radiation......... 
bald............ 
sick.......... 
trauma......... 

somewhere along the line 
i will find myself again, 
find my sense of humor. 
but not today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>You ain't gonna believe this!  I saw snow on top of the mountain called Old Baldy above Canyon Ferry Lake!  Baby it's cold outside!  I do not really like snow.  I used to live outside and snow is cold and wet!  It makes my tootsies cold!  I think I will curl up on my bear rug and snuggle in real tight!
Maybe I could get Ma to make me some catnip tea and cuddle up and forget that winter is coming!  I hate winter!!!!  Gimmee Spring any day!
My Mommie's sister, my Auntie Gale, had snow at her house the other day.  My Ma told her that she could just keep it for herself, that we didn't want any.
She lives pretty close, but, up higher than we do.  She has deer in her yard like we used to when we lived in Pine Crest.  
Mommie misses the pretty deer.
She used to give them some bread 'til the Game Warden showed up and told her it was against the law!  <I>Ma is a criminal!!!  She fed the deer!!!  Oh, no!
Bad, Mommie!!!!</i>  For shame on you!  
I think the deer and Ma had withdrawals over that one.  Ma would look out and see the deer waiting for their little treats, looking so sad.  and Mommie would feel so bad and get tears in her eyes.    She loved her deer!
Well, now, she has a yard full of cats to feed.   I guess she will just have to be happy with that.  Only the black one that is a boy, is not too nice to Ma.  He keeps taking a swipe at ther hand when she tries to give him a treat.  Ma has a new name for him, but, I can't tell you what it is.  It's not very nice.
It starts with A.  (Bet  ya can't guess!)
She says he is not too thankful.   She has been feeding him since he was born, and yet, he is mean to her.  Stoopid cat!   If he was smart, he would kiss up and I know Ma would find a home for him.  But, she can't catch him!
Dumb cat!
Well, I am heading to that nice soft bear rug.  I think Daddy is starting a nice, cozy fire for me, too.  Have a great evening....happy purrs and dreams.]]></content:encoded>

Well, 'cept Mawsie!  Mawsie is now hiding under the bed 'cuz she is being mean to me today.  Mommie hollered at her for being so mean and being the chicken that she is, she went and hid under the bed.  Good.  I hope she stays there for the rest of her life.  And if she has 9 lives, I hope she stays there for all of them, too!!]]></content:encoded>

Good thing it wasn't Mommie...that really ticks her off!   She thinks we sound like banshees.  I don't know what a banshee is, do you?  Are they cute?
Do they have fat whiskers like me and Mawsie?  Do they have soft fur?
Are they noisy?
And mostly, <I>What do they sound like?</i>
Oh.
Mawsie said they sound like a howling screaming wind that has boogers in it!  Yu-uuuuuck!!!  
Mawse is sick!  Sick, sick, sick!  
No wonder I don't like her very much.  
I'm not talking to her anymore.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Very interesting!  I see Arm & Hammer has a new cat litter that changes color after it's been used!  How cool is that?  Imagine!  You go to your cat box and tiptoe into the particles of pretty, do your duty and VIOLA'....IT TURNS COLOR!    I am impressed.  Then, Ma comes along and sees this blob of color in there and does <I>her</i> duty and scoops out the offending mass. 
Good girl, Mommie!
Okay, I like this idea, but, I must request that Arm & Hammer carry this a degree or two further....I, myself, would like it to be color coordinated so that it matches my surroundings.  Or maybe something special for the MOOD OF THE DAY.  We could have <U>"TICKLED PINK" </u>for those of us who adore pink and can't imagine life without it.   
Adding <U>"GOLfING GRASS GREEN"</u> would be wonderful for those who have a sporty attitude or just like the outdoors.  
<U>"MELLOW YELLOW"</u>....no, let's don't do that one, wa-aaay to obvious!
<U>"RAVISHING RED"</u>  has got to be on the list of colors for the cat who demands romance and excitement and in her life!  Yeah, that's a good one!
<u>"BLUE BUTT SPECIAL"</U>  for those days we are feeling a bit down and want <I>everybody</i> to know it.  Gotta have that one!
<U>"BLACK BEAUTY" </U> for goths and moths and days your Mom thinks you deserve a lump of coal in your litter.  Maybe not.  NO.
Lastly, how about <U>"BROWN BUTTERFLY BUTT" </U> for those who like chocolate?  Oh No!!!  NOT.  Wa-aaay too nasty and besides we already have that one naturally.  Arm & Hammer is trying to fix that one, not emphasize it!
Silly me. 
Well, just some ideas here.  If you know the big cat boss over there at 
Arm & Hammer, just send him over to me.  Although I am not looking for fame and fortune....um-mmm....did someone mention fortune?
Heading out to the cat box.  Wonder what color it will be?]]></content:encoded>

MAWSE:  "I am not a person."
DANCER:  "You are also, NOT nice."

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>MOMMIE IS WRITING IN MY DIARY TODAY:

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE FEED THE WILD CATS AND KITTENS AROUND HERE, TAMING THEM AND FINDING THEM HOMES.  WE'RE PRETTY PLEASED WITH OUR PROGRESS AS WE HAVE FOUND HOMES FOR SEVEN KITTENS SO FAR.  LAST YEAR, WE FOUND A HOME FOR A MAMA CAT AND FOUR OF HER KITTENS.  THEN, THIS YEAR ONE OF THE KITTENS I COULDN'T CATCH IS NOW HAVING KITTENS.  WE FOUND A HOME FOR A LITTLE GRAY MANX, AND A DARLING SIAMESE KITTEN.  THERE ARE OTHERS YET TO BE CAUGHT AND TAMED.  THERE IS A CUTE LITTLE GRAY ONE AND A TOTAL BLACK KITTY AND ONE THAT HAS KIND OF A HALF AND HALF FACE WITH ORANGE AND BLACK.  PLUS THERE IS A MALE FROM LAST YEAR THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TAME...HOPEFULLY, ONE DAY I WILL.
 I AM TRYING TO FIND HOMES FOR THEM.  LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
 
THIS MORNING AT 5:30 I GOT UP AND FOR SOME REASON I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND THERE WAS ONE MORE KITTY THAT I HAD NOT SEEN BEFORE.  BEAUTIFUL AND BIG AND FAT FROM THE KITTY CHOW WE LEAVE EVERY DAY FOR OUR LITTLE FRIENDS.  THIS ONE IS REALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHERS, BLACK AND WHITE AND PRETTY WILD.
IF YOU WANT THIS ONE, YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH IT YOURSELF!!!  YOU CAN SEE HIS PICTURE ON THIS PAGE.  IT IS NUMBER 4!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, humph!  Ma said my little tail looks like a cigar stub!!  * !!!
Imagine that?  A CIGAR STUB!!!!  Well, I am used to getting picked on all the time by Mawsie my rotten sister, but, I do not find any humor in it, when...it's my own Mommie!
<I>A cigar stub!</i>  Tsk!  And, then, to top it all off,  she said it smelled like one too!  Wauuu-uuugggghhh!  *snort
I prefer to think of it as a cute little caterpillar.  A nice, soft fuzzy one.  A little darling fuzzy one that follows me around every day to make sure everything is fine and dandy.  Some days I even think of it as a little hat.  A soft, furry hat to cover up my um-mmm.....ummm-mmmmm...er-rrr.....umm-mmmm.....
whatchamacallit.  Helps when it's cold, ya know.  Keeps me modest, too, ya know.   
But, just for the record, <U><I>it ain't no dang CIGAR STUB!</I></U>
So, there!]]></content:encoded>

It's real floaty and soft and it's on a stick. Won't take me too long to annihilate those feathers!  I'm good at that!  The very best part of it is that Mawsie doesn't like it, so, it's MINE all MINE!!!  *snort!
More good mews today is that it cooled off a lot and I wasn't left to wonder how I was going to get out of this fur coat!   I like it when it's cool!  I"m just a cool cat!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, I am beginning to feel a little left out here.  Seems like no one likes Montana kitties.  We never get on the news, even weather stations pretty much ignore us.  And Catster never ever picks a Montana cat to be 
CAT OF THE DAY OR CAT OF THE WEEK!
What?
We're special and cute, too!  
We got class!  
We got style!
We're newsworthy!
We got weather.
We got cats!
"You are a pitiful excuse for a cat, that is why they don't pick you, snot nose!"
"Oh, shut up, Mawsie!  I am NOT whining!"  
Mawsie always picks on me.  
"You're just being a whiney baby, poopy pants.  And hinting you should be COTW."
"Mawee,  I am NOT either hinting that I am a good candidate for COTW or COTD.  I am just stating facts."
"Hiss-ssss!!!!"
"GO AWAY!
I hate Mawsie.   She always picks on me.
Mawse says,....."You are stupid!"
"I am not stupid!"
They both leave the room thinking about killing each other, slo-oooowly.
*Note from Mom:
I love my cats.  Especially when they are so-ooo sweet!
Ha!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>It's my people brothers burfday today.  He is REALLY OLD!
Really, really, really OLD!  He is 35.  But, only  7  in cat years.  We do have a specific advantage there, don't we?  Heh, heh.  I like it.   
My brudder's name is Devin.  He is very tall and dark and handsome.  I get a neckache looking up at him.  But, it doesn't happen very much 'cuz he lives in Oregon.  Ma said she sure misses him and his family.  
(Wonder why, when she's got little ol' darling me?)  I am love and entertainment all in one!!!
It has been a purr-fectly beautiful day.  Sky is blue and the smoke has cleared so we can see the mountains and the lake!  I want to go out side so very bad, but, poor ol' Ma has had a terrible backache all day long so I didn't get to go.
Maybe tomorrow.  
Ma was worried about me, but, I am all back to normal, whatever that is.  I just wanted to let you know, so you wouldn't worry.  I must admit, it is kinda fun to be fussed over.  I wish I could fuss over Mommie so her  back would feel lots better.  But, I don't know what to do.  Maybe a dollop of catnip.  I would share with her.  I really would!  She's my bestest Mommie in the world!
We hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  We also, hope you have a safe weekend....we want you all back next week!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Okay, so I admit to not acting myself for awhile around here.  I have been hiding in the closet or near the bed.  I haven't been playing like I usually do.  
I just am not feeling real social right now.  I like to sleep on the bed once in awhile, but, haven't done that either.  I take a nibble or two of food and then run and hide.  Ma and Pa left for three days and that always upsets me and Mawsie.  Both of us are so jittery and nervous still, even though they are back and everything is back to normal.  Aunt Dee Dee came to check on us while they were gone.  
Ma made me some white chicken today and I ate it all.  I have been hanging out in the computer room window, too.  Haven't done that for awhile.  
Hey, sometimes ya just want to be left alone.
Mommie has some thoughts about taking me to the D-O-C-T-E-R-R-O-R.
I do not want to go.  I will NOT go.  Sheesh, if she's not feeling socialable, does she run to the doctor?  NOT!
Ma says, she will keep an eye on me.  She loves her Dancer!!  
I got a star from Punkin Pooh!  How's that for a special friend?  
And , he's handsome too!!!  Wowzers!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Success!!!  Mommie found a home for lil-boy!  He has a new mommy in Helena.  His new mommy is a nurse and guess what?  His daddy is a 
d-o-c-t-e-r-r-o-r!   One a them vet peoples!  The lady who took him has an old simonized cat and it looks as though he is going to have to go to kitty heaven, so she wanted to have another baby to love.
Mommie said she started to cry after they delivered him, but, she realized he would have a very good home, so she is happy for him..,,but, there's a little soft, fuzzy hole in her heart.
This is Number 7 kitty that she has found homes for since we moved here a year ago.  There are two more kittens and a mama cat that she will also have to catch and find homes for.  Since she will be having another eye surgery soon, she will have to wait a bit to catch them.  She sure wishes people would fix their kitties so we wouldn't have this kind of heartbreak all the time!  It hurts to see them hungry and cold in the winter.  But, we will keep doing our part and hope you will find a way to help, too.  
Although we can't talk, we do thank you for being so helpful when we need you.  Purr-rrrrrrrr........]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Today my Mommie is going to have eye surgery.  I am so-ooo worried.
I hope my Mommie will be okay.  She is getting her good eye fixed.  So, she won't be able to see at all for awhile.  Well, she will see blurrs with her other eye, but, she sure won't be able to read  'n stuff.  Poor Mommie!
I know she is kinda scared but, she doesn't want anyone to know.  She just says it will be nice to see really good.  I hope the doctor does a really good job for her.  She had one bad eye doctor once, who messed up on an operation,   so she is afraid of them now.  But, she realizes they are not all bad.  So I am saying lotsa purr-rayers for her.  And also, I am praying for Karma Kitty's Mommy.  She is having her nose checked today to make sure there are no tumors.  So, if ya got an extra mintue or two today, Please remember them in your purr-rayers!
Thank you.]]></content:encoded>

Isn't he cute?  Ma says if you live in the Helena, Montana area, she will deliver it to your area after her surgery.  Whatcha think?  Need a nice little lap warmer for those winter nights?
Let us know.  He's awful cute and won't last long!

*  Note from the kitty:   Purr-lease...I need a home of my own and I will be very good.  I make bread and I am box trained!  I am very smart and I purr and talk and in general, just be very, very cute.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Just thought you would all like to know that the simonized kitty is now purring and letting Mommie hold it!  Isn't that good mews?  So, that means that she will be able to find him a home!!!  That will be number seven for us!
And then, there are two more that will need to be caught and tamed, plus the mommy cat.  Mommie is sure wishing she could have tamed him a bit sooner, because on Tuesday, she has to have eye surgery.  And, since it is her very best eye,  she won't be seeing too good for awhile.  She doesn't want to wait too long for the kitty as she said it's not fair for him to have to be in a cage.  He is lonely, she said, and needs to have his very own family.  He is sure pretty.  Well, of course, not quite as cute as me, ya know, but, cute anyway!
I volunteered to be Ma's seeing eye cat for her, but, she said she thought Daddy would work out okay...he can be her seeing eye dog!  Hahahahaha!
She's funny.  But, she told me not to tell Daddy what she said.  Well, I can understand that.  It would be terrible, just terrible, to be a dog when you could be a cat instead!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy are at it again!  This time they caught a really wild simonized kitty and is it mad!  It is so pretty with big blue eyes.  We aren't too sure if it is a boy or a girl yet as it is too wild to find out!  It hissed at my Mommie just like Hissy Missy did.  Hissy is it's mama.  We have fed her for over a year and she is not too tame either.    Mommie is upset because the cage it is in is torn apart, but, there isn't much she can do for a couple of days.  she is making sure it has water and food and after it calms down a bit, then, maybe Ma can clean it out.  She said it is simonized or sumpin' like that.
"Oh, silly me!"  Mawsie said it is a Siamese kitty, Not simonized.  Well, that's okay 'cuz I don't know what a Siamese is or simonized!  Mawsie is pretty smart!!!  But, don't tell her I said that!
So, now we will find a home for the new kitty.  The other kitty has a new home
and now we have found homes for 6 kitties, going on 7!!!  Yippee!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, I was gonna let this one slide, but, Catster sent me a nice letter and gave me some nice purr-resents, so I guess I haveta admit I am another year older today.  
I wonder what Ma and Pa will buy me for my birfday?  Will it be sumpin' good to eat or some nice toys to play wiff? Will they have a party for me?  And will Mawsie be nice to me?    
What I would really like is to have some rain.  I know that is a strange thing for a kitty to want, but, the fire in the Gates of the Mountains is so close to us that Mommie is having trubbles breathing.  It is the number one priority fire in the states.  It is the Meriwether Fire and it is not that far away.  We can't see the lake today or the mountains or anything.  It is scary!
So, I would love some rain for my birthday.....a nice big, drenching rain that puts out all the nasty fires!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We really got some good mews today!  Mommie found a home for the little manx kitten!  The lady had to put her cat down awhile ago and was so happy to have a new family member!  I just know the kitty will have a terrific home!  Mommie is so-ooo happy!  She has found homes for 5 kittens and one mama cat since we've been here.  There are two more kittens out there that Mommie is going to catch and tame down so they can have nice homes too!!!
There is one Siamese and one orange and black kitty.  
And the mama cat will need a home too.  
We are so glad we get to help these little critters and get them good homes!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Gads I am so-ooo tired today!  I had a worse than terrible night!
OH, OH, OH!!!  I AM SO-OOO SORRY!  FIRST I MUST THANK CATSTER for choosing <I>you know who</i> to be a diary pick of the day!!!  Such an honor!  Out of thousands, litter-ly <I>thousands </i> of wonderful, beautiful cats, they chose little ol' me.  I'm a star....hint, hint.  (You got any stars to spare?)   
OOPS!!!!!  Okay, okay, I'll be nice.  Mommie just said I shouldn't be greedy and never, ever,  ask strangers for candy or stars....(why not?)
THANK YOU CATSTER!!!!  
Now, on to other business.  Mommie and Daddy were sitting and watching TV last night and about 11:30 there was a screaming howl that sounded like something was getting killed out in back of the house.  Scared the bewhiskers outta Ma!   Not that she's chicken, okay, so she's a chicken, but, she grabbed a flashlight and a man, Pa, and went out to see what was going on.  It sounded like a cat getting killed!!!!  A huge cat!  At first they couldn't see anything, but, they could tell it was coming from under the back porch.  Finally, Daddy got the beam on a teeny tiny kitten!  It wasn't much bigger than a mouse.  It was scared to death!  Ma couldn't catch it!  It ran all over our big yard.  Dad kept the flashlight on it and at last, Ma was able to catch the little  thing.  Wasn't much bigger than a minute, but, it had a voice bigger than a mountain lion!
And guess what?  It's a manx kitty!  Ma said it is probably only about 4-6 weeks old!  It is a little gray baby and so cute!  (Of course, if it's a manx, it's gotta be cute!)  Ma gave it some chicken pieces and cat food and some water and put it in a cage in the shop, so it would be safe.   Now, this morning, she took it some more and some catnip and it purred for her.   I wonder if she will keep it?  It would be nice to have a real friend in this house....instead of mean Mawsie.  
Well, anyway, that wasn't the end of my turrible night.   The wind got to blowing and blew my door shut for my box and my food!  Now, that is just a bit too much!  Doesn't anybody around here have brains enough to fix the door so it won't slam shut?  My food and box is in there and I know for sure they prefer I use that box!  Ma got up and opened the door for me and boy, did I gobble up some chow!  I sure had the hungries!  
Well, gotta go, speaking of hungries,....tiem for breakfast!
THANKS CATSTER!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, Daddy is in BIG trubble!  He almost forgot their anniversary.
That is not the way into a woman's heart.  It was yesterday and they had 
out-of-state company visiting.  Mommie just kinda wondered if he might remember, but, since most of the time Daddy doesn't even know what year it is, well, of course he didn't know what DAY it was.  They were over at a little shop not far from the house and for some reason someone wanted to know the date.  Daddy said, "Oh...I think it's our anniversary."
Mom said,  "Yes.....it is,"  while gritting her teeth.
She thought,  "You   #**^$#@%&!!!!!.....you forgot!  &^%$#@!!!*^& Idiot!"
Of course there was NO card, NO flowers, No nuthin'!
OH OH!
There were some fireworks on the 4th of July, but, I don't think it will compare to what is going on around here for awhile.]]></content:encoded>

I wonder if maybe I could talk my Daddy into giving me a shave when he does his whiskers in the morning?  I wonder how I would look with no hair?  
Would I still be cute?  
"Ugly as a worm in a turd."  Mawsie says.
"No one asked you, you butthead!"  says Dancer back.
"Well, you asked."
"Well, I didn't ask <I> you, </i> you mean rotten excuse for a cat,"  says little sweetlips herself, Dancer.
"You look like a meathead anyway,"  volunteers Mawse.  "And with no hair you would look like a spider with a case of the uglies."
"Go away or I will tell Mom."
"You are a tattletale, tattletale, hanging on the bulls tail!   And you look like a pile of gopher guts all the time!  Ha ha ha!!!"  Mawse says and leaves with a rotten smile on her face.
"Good thing you are leaving or I would tear you from limb to limb,"  murmurs Dancer, just loud enough that Mawse doesn't hear her.
Well, now I'm <I>really hot</i> thanks to her getting me all steamed.  I hate my sister, Mawsie!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Now that is a fair trade, is it not?   I have been doing a grasshopper patrol every single night.  I have seen no evidence of further infestation.  That is good.  I also, decided that grasshoppers were misnamed.  They should have been called GR<u>O</U>SSHOPPERS!  Am I not 100% right?

Mawse countered with,  "Well, I ain't too crazy about your sniveling, whining, tailless, stupid, spoiled rotten butt, either!"
"Get outta here, before I tell Ma!  You have the heart of a mangy, smelly, stinky, ugly, mangy, poisoness skunk."
And Mawse smiled and took a nasty, claw filled swipe at Dancer and they did their ungodly banshee cries that set Ma's teeth on edge.  She went in to find Dancer still crying and wondering what was the matter.
Okay, this is serious.  It's the diary pages, she thought.  So, she talked with Dancin' Girl.
"Look, Sweetie Pie, I emailed Catster and they will find your pages.  They did not throw them in the garbage.  They are floating around in space somewhere!
"Wau-uuuggghhhh!!!!!!  My diaries are dead!"
"No, they will find them, I promise!"
"And besides they gave your some Zealies to make up for your troubles.  Aren't they just the nicest people and cats and dogs in the world?"  says Ma.
*sniff*  "They did?  They really did that just for me?  Aw-www, how sweet!"

So, Dancin' Girl danced away to find something else to argue with Mawsie about.  I know there shouldn't be the least bit of problem finding <I>something.</i>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Little One, my twin friend, wrote me today.  She said her Mommy does the stupid cute voice actlikeanidiot thingy, too.  She said 'No wonder we bite them.'  
Humph, I was surprised to know that other cats dare to bite their Mommies. 
I got into major BIGTIME trouble last week when I bit my Mommy.  She has some really bad habits I am trying to break her from.  The main one being, TOUCHING MY TUMMY!  Doesn't she get the picture?  I <U>do not</u>  roll over on my back to beg for a rub.  I roll onto my back because I like to.  <i>Because I can.</i>  It is MY belly.  It is soft, yes, but, it is not an invitation to rub it when I lay there like a flounder.
So, last week she started the same ol', same ol', and that hand came down slowly, naturally with the  sickening "Oh Dancer, you dus so cute.  Ooooo my baby durl...I jus' wuv you."
GIVE ME A BREAK!
Get your hands off me!!!!  
Ker chunk!  
I bit her!  I am not too sure who was more surprised, me or her!
Well, I knew I was in really, REALLY, big trouble.  I cowered down in an immediate apology.  She looked at her arm and there was blood.  Oh oh!
Well, heck, it's not my fault she's older than dirt and has skin like crepe paper. I was only reacting to a very unpleasant situation.  I did the natural thing.
And I feel terrible about it!  Poor Mommie!   She was hurt and I did it!  
If only I could get her trained.  
Well, back to the story.  She smucked me on top of the head.  Can you imagine that?  Me?  Me!!!!  On top of the head.  I saw stars and little twirly thingys and things went black for awhile.  I staggered away and crawled off to die, saying my prayers all the way.  
Okay, so I embellished the truth a bit.  It was only a teeny tiny tap on the head and it didn't hurt  bit.  But,  I felt pretty bad about the whole thing.  
People don't taste very good anyway.  Put-toooey!  Give me a nice fat mouse any day.
Mommie is a scrawny old lady and not too much juicy fat on her body, like a nice country mouse.  They have some substance on 'em!
Well, Mommie is all healed up now.  She has forgiven me.  I guess I should learn to be more tolerant of an old woman.  After all, she ain't too smart.]]></content:encoded>

She starts talking her baby talk to me,  "Oh, Dancer Prancer, you're dus so-ooo cute.  You're dus my baby durl.  Baby, baby....oh-hhhh.  Mommie loves you so bery much.  You Momma's sweetie pie."  
*Gag*!!  Sickening, ain't it?
Then, when she reaches down to pet my soft, velvety belly, I bite her.
Dang that's fun!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am such a good girl!  When Mommie gets up in the morning, she always goes to the computer room to read emails and stuff.  Well, this morning I had her chair all warmed up and ready for her!  And I also cleaned out her ashtray so things were nice and neat.  I am such a good girl.

*NOTE FROM MOMMIE:
This morning I went to the computer room to read my emails and Dancer was in my chair and wouldn't get off of it.  I had to bodily push her out of my chair.  She grumbled and whined and was not too happpy about giving up my chair.  Then, I looked and she had knocked over my ashtray from the desk, making a heck of a big mess on the floor.  What a mess!  She might be cute, but, she's a pain in the....um-mmmm.........

Humph....some people don't appreciate anything!  Mommie threw me out of her chair and acted like she owned it!    Then she yelped like an old basset hound and picked up her ashtray and muttered some unprintable words which I care not to mention on this page, 'cuz I am a lady!  She shouldn't smoke anyway.  And the chair?  Why is it <I> her </i> chair?  See if I try to do nice things for her again!  The grump!]]></content:encoded>

GOOD NEWS!!!!  I am one of the diary picks of the day!  I just knew it was gonna be one of them speshul days!  And, I got congrats and stuff from my furr-riends!
Am I not a winner?  Am I not a lucky gurl?  Hey, what a day!
Poetic, too, huh?
I got a rosette from Karma Kitty, Chloe  Girl, and Eva Princess and one from Little One!  Ain't they just the sweetest kitties?  And they're my special friends, too.  I am so lucky!  And then, Ele' and Eva Princess Eva Sage wrote to me too!  And a lot of my special friends on WE LOVE OUR TROOPS gave congrats, too!!   I think I'm gonna cry....
*sniff*
Well, now that I am a star I think I better get busy and pack for my trip to Colliewood.  OH NO!  I haven't got a thing to wear!  I need to go shopping!
Excuse me...I must get ready to head to town to buy something sparkly and  extra pretty.
THANKS CATSTER people.....I am a changed cat due to all this notariety.  I used to act cute. It was an act. I am almost 4 years old, and that act is no longer cute! 
To those who doubt my sincerity:  "They're wrong and they don't know me. I'm a good kitty. I'm a compassionate cat. I have a big heart. I'm sincere, and they'll see!
Now where's the party, dahling?  In Paris?]]></content:encoded>

Which one is your favorite?
What a day!!!!!!
Then, to top it all off, I have a new friend and her name is Ivonne!  She is real purdy!
This weekend there is a big fishing derby here at Canyon Ferry.  It is for Walleye fishes.  There is a $10,000 first prize!  Wow!  I could really get lots of catnip with that.  Ma and Pa said they don't intend to go.  There will be people crawling out of the woodworks....that's what they say.  I am going to be sure to watch as I will scratch the first one that comes out of our woodwork!!
I can be very tough, you know.
Come to think of it...what is a woodwork anyway?  Is it what they threw in the wood stove all winter long?  Or is them two bears that hold the TV?
They are made of wood, all carved and cute.  Hm-mmmm....I will have to investigate this further.
Anyway, if you know of any woodwork felons, let me know if ya see them coming my way.  I am ready for action!!!]]></content:encoded>

My Dad is a dedicated cat hater.  That's what he says anyway.
He talks tough!  But, for some reason he likes to pet me and shares his bed with me.  He calls me a puppy....sort of a silly little endearment that he has come up with.  I know.  He likes to pretend he doesn't like cats, but....I know.
I know he loves me a lot.  
He's so silly.
He pets me and laughs when I do silly things.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I was sure wishing Ma would do a diary for me.  Sheesh!  Been long enough.  
I have the bestest news!  I have been going outdoors a lot!  Of course the two old fogies go outside too just to keep an  eye on things.  But, it is just glorious!  I even got to sneak under the house, 'cuz Daddy left the door open for under the house.  I didn't get to stay long 'cuz Ma caught me just as I went in.  But, at least I got a peek!
There are tons of flowers out there in our yard!  There are about a dozen different kinds.  The daisies are just about to open.  Maybe I will find out who loves me...he loves me, he loves me not!  Hee hee....blush!
The grass is the prettiest green and so soft to lay on.  We didn't have grass at Pine Crest because of the deer, so this is a special treat!
It's been almost a year since we moved here and I like it a lot.  I don't miss the deer, they were so big and scary, but, Mommie does.  There's something called auntylopes here.  I wonder if they have unclelopes too?
They are funny lookin', bug-eyed critters and can run like the wind!  There are some new babies out there too....but, I haven't seen one.  Do you suppose they are called kiddylopes?  I dunno.
We got some new pics too, Mawsie and I but, Mommie hasn't loaded them yet.
One of these days we will put some more on....something wonderful.  Well, mine are wonderful, Mawsie's are just okay.
Ta ta!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie gets up in the morning and I am always so glad to see her. 
Mawsie always hogs the bed so I don't get to see anyone till morning coffee.
I get so dang lonesome all night long by myself.
So, when she staggers out and chirps "Hello, Dancer" to me, I am just so happy!  She gets a cup of coffee with sugar and cream.
Then she goes to the computer/cat room and turns on her computer. 
At last and oh boy!
I get up and look out the window first.  Not much going on there.
Then, my favorite part of the day!
I stretch a lazy stretch and put my paws on the edge of her chair and she reaches down and picks me up and puts me on her lap!
Heaven!   Purr.
At last....a people to love me.  She pets my soft fur and I think she is purring too.  Is she as happy as I am?  I think so.
Mornings.  Aren't they just special?]]></content:encoded>

DEAR ABBY: When I asked a group of schoolchild ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>MEMORIAL DAY SHOULD MEAN MORE THAN JUST OPEN POOLS

DEAR ABBY: When I asked a group of schoolchildren what Memorial Day meant to them, they replied, "That's the day the pools open!" Too many older Americans would have similar responses. There can be no argument that we, as a nation, need to refresh our memories and put "memorial" back into Memorial Day.
We must never forget who we are memorializing and inform each coming generation that since the birth of our nation, more than 1 million men and women have died to ensure our freedom.

I ask all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress to recognize, honor and memorialize all those who have given their lives in service to our country throughout our history. They were someone's father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, other relative or friend. Their families are also casualties of war, for their loss is the most enduring sacrifice.

Abby, please urge our fellow Americans to live honoring America's fallen. As long as they are remembered they are never gone. -- CARMELLA LA SPADA, DIRECTOR, WHITE HOUSE COMMISSION ON REMEMBRANCE

DEAR CARMELLA: Thank you for your timely and heartfelt letter. I'm pleased to pass along your message. Readers, wherever you may be tomorrow on Memorial Day -- even if it's the swimming pool -- please take a moment and pause at 3 p.m. (local time) and think about those who died to preserve our liberties. Do something for your country in their blessed memory, even if it is only taking a moment to appreciate their courage and sacrifice for us.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been tagged by KARMA KITTY!

The rules: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Donât forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog.

MY SEVEN FACTS:

1.  I was a feral cat and my Mommie stole me!
2.  When I hunch up my back, I look like a balloon!
3.  When someone moves their foot when I am walking by, I am instantly airborn!
4.  I don't much like people food.  (Sorry Mom.)
5.  When I see ants, I dance!
6.  I love everything in this house, 'cept my sister, Mawse.
7.  I had kitties once, when I lived at that other place....but, my Mommie got me fixed.


Now I tag these 7 cats:

1.  Punkin Pooh
2.  Little One
3.  Sammie
4.  Peppy Le Pew
5.  Melah
6.  Sarge

Anyway, she likes to trim our toemails before she goes.  Seems to think there will be less bodily damage that way.  Well, that is all good and fine, except for one problem....I DO NOT LIKE MY NAILS TRIMMED.  They're mine!
She tipped me up onto her lap and the fireworks began.  She trimmed one and I went back to being my old feral self!  I went bananas!  I went crazy!  I tried to bite her.  OH oh!  that was not a good idea.  She was very, very mad at me.
Well, what does she expect?  I need my nails.  I am a feral cat after all.
I got smucked on top of my noggin.  Not hard, but, she was ticked.  So, I tried to bite her again.  Another smuck!   So, I tried to bite her again.
Well, with all of this, I got my nails trimmed anyway.  (*&%@!$%!!$^&%)
Dirty rattsalfratz!!!!
Now I am ticked and so is she.
When she trimmed Mawsie's she just laid there like the lump she is.  
She's such a kiss butt!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. 

Our idea of showing solidarity a nd support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that...every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. 

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on. 

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is..."We need your support and your prayers."

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday. 

IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED ---- SO WEAR RED!

MAY GOD HELP AMERICA TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER GOD. 

HAVE A GREAT DAY.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Daddy was outside planting some rose bushes for Mommie last night.
It was such a pretty night and it wasn't dark yet, so he let Mawsie and I out.
We were sure having some fun.  Then, all of a sudden he wanted us to go back inside.  Well, sheesh, we had just gotten to go out.  What the heck is going on?
Well, of course, ol' kissy butt Mawsie, she goes inside right inside.  She's such a kisser upper.  
Not me!
I was not ready to go inside, so I thought I would play <I>the game.</i>
You know, the one where the cat runs around the house, the human comes and looks for her.  The human shows up and the cat runs around to the other side of the house.  Dang, that's fun!  This works pretty good, because pretty soon the human is using some real colorful language....some of which I had never heard before.  The human runs around the house again, after the cat makes another run for the front of the house.  He is gasping for air and I am just getting wound up!   More of the funny language...%$#@!*^!!! ..from
the winded human.
Oh, oh.  He went in the house.  I think he is after reinforcements.
Oh, oh.  Here comes Mommie!   She looks serious.
Game over.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mawsie put this in her diary yesterday,  but, we felt it was so wonderful that I wanted to put it on mine, too.  It's long, but, very much worth the read.
It's kinda sad, so get a hankie.
Interesting info sent to me by a friend:

TAPS

Have you ever been to a military funeral in which taps was played; 
this brings out a new meaning of it.
Here is something Every American should know. Until I read this, I 
didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true:
We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps". It's
the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our
eyes.
But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be
interested to find out about its humble beginnings.
Reportedly , it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army
Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in
Virginia . The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow
strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a 
soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the
stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach 
through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling
him toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, 
he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was
dead.
The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb
with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his 
own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke 
out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. 
The following morning, heart-broken, the father asked permission of his
superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy
status. His request was only partially granted.
The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play
a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down
since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they
did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler.
He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a
piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. 
This wish was granted.
The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps". Used at military funerals was
born. The words are:

Day is done.
Gone the sun.
From the lakes
From the hills.
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.

Fading light.
Dims the sight.
And a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.

Thanks and praise.
For our days.
Neath the sun
Neath the stars.
Neath the sky.
As we go.
This we know.
God is nigh.

I too have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never
seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more
than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I 
didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along.
I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before.
Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country.
Also Remember Those Who Have Served and Returned; and for those 
presently serving in the Armed Forces.
Please send this on after a short prayer.
Make this a Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest
to God...]]></content:encoded>

Well, humph, I will just pout then.  I will lay on my chair and look real pitiful.
It probably won't do much good, but, I will have the pleasure of pouting and making Mommie feel real bad.  She hates when I am not happy.  That is her job

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>     Where do pets come from? 

 A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the 
 answer to "Where do pets come from?"
 Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked 
 with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, 
 and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us."
 And G od said, I will create a companion for you that will be with 
 you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will 
 love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or 
 childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as 
 you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves."
 And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
 And it was a good animal.
 And God was pleased.
 And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he 
  wagged his tail.
 And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the 
 Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."
 And God said, " I have created this new animal to be a reflect ion 
 of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you 
 will call him DOG."
 And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and 
 loved them.
 And they were comforted.
 And God was pleased.
 And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
 After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and 
 said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and 
 preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog 
 has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well."
 And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with 
 them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of 
 their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of 
 adoration."
 And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
 And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's 
 eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
 And Adam and Eve learned humility.
      And they were greatly improved.
       And God was pleased .
       And Dog was happy.
        And Cat didn't give a dang one way or the other.

Thanks to our friend Colette!!!  Our giggle for the day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I got the scare of my life yesterday.  I was sitting in the window watching those black kitties that dine at our house.  Suddenly, I heard the biggest racket I have ever heard.  I started scanning the sky and there it was!  The biggest bird I have ever seen!  I usually do a bit of a chitter or two and make faces....but, this one was too scary!  This bird headed right for me in the window.  It got louder and louder and it was terrifying!  I have never been so scared!  This thing was huge....beyond huge!  I nearly broke my neck trying to keep an eye on it as it passed overhead!  I ducked way down as it flew over me and I was hoping it wouldn't see me.  The sound coming from it was a deafening roar!
"Mommie, hellll-lllllllp!"
I looked at her and she was grinning!  Now, why wasn't she running for her life?   That thing could haul her body off to the unknown, too!  We're not talking robin here or blackbird.....we are talking raptor size and then some!
I was relieved that it flew away!
Mommie said something to Daddy about a 'helicopter'.
What's a helicopter?  Is it a breed of bird?
I just know I never want to see it again!]]></content:encoded>

She laughs and says I have a silly mouth 'cuz it is always open!  She says it looks stupid!  Ha!  She ain't so dang fancy herself with her mouth hanging open like a mouse trap!
I am sitting in the window wishing I was outside.  Can't she figure that one out?  I can read her mind, but, can she read mine?  NO!  People are so strange.  Us cats have ESP....what do people have?  These scratchy, scrawly voices that sounds like gibberish and means not a thing to a refined cat like me.  Why waste time with something like that when ESP is so much quicker?
I am glad I am a cat.
But, I would really like to be an outside cat.  Not always, but, maybe for an hour or two!  So, I am still staring at her.  and she still hasn't caught on to what I am saying.  And naturally, I am bugging her.  People are weird!
I WANNA GO OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!   CAN'T YOU HEAR ME?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Today is Aunt Dee Dee's birthday.  I won't tell how OLD she is, but, in dog years...well, shucks, I can't count that high!
Mommie is going to make her a kitty litter cake.  I betcha you think that sounds really gross!  It is, but, it tastes good!  It is fixed up and baked and then Mommie puts it in a real litter pan...unused silly!  Then, she makes some stuff that looks like litter and puts it on and then adds tootsie rolls.  You can figure out what the tootsie rolls are for!  Ha ha!!  Then, she puts a litter scoop on the side and some newpaper under it.  Yuckie poo!!!  LOTS of POO!
Mawsie and I dug through our toys and I found a really nice, slightly beat up furry mouse to give to her.  It's the only one we have.  But, I still want her to have it 'cuz she's my Aunt Dee Dee.
Here's how to make a kitty litter cake!


KITTY LITTER CAKE
1 spice or German chocolate cake mix 
1 white cake mix 
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix 
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies 
Green food coloring 
12 small Tootsie Rolls 
1 new (and definitely unused) kitty litter pan 
1 new plastic kitty litter pan liner 
1 new Pooper Scooper 

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). 
Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. 
Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. 
To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar. 
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it soggy. Combine gently). 
Line new, clean kitty litter box. 
Put mixture into litter box. 
Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. 
Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. 
Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. 
Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. (This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.) 
Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. 
Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. 
Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. 
Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. 
Serve with a new pooper scooper.]]></content:encoded>

Um-mmmm....why?  I dunno why.  I think Mommie thinks that is a nice day.
She said a lot of people have Saturday off from work.  Hm-mmm....then, maybe I don't need to patrol the house today.  Or watch out the windows for scary stuff.  Maybe, just maybe, I can sleep all day.  Nah....that's Mawsie's job.  She's lazy.  I like to be busy!  Really, really busy!
I'm so busy, I make my Mommie dizzy!!!  Ha ha!  Great poem, huh?
Gotta go patrol...it's a dirty job, but, no one else will do it!]]></content:encoded>

TWENTY INCHES!  That's much taller than I am.  I think I will stay inside!
I was thinking that as hard as the wind is blowing, it should just blow it all away, to the next city over!  
Sometimes a flake as big as a mouse flies by the window!  Now that is a big one!
I hope the wild kitties have found a nice warm place to stay.  Poor kitties.
and Bashful has not found a home yet.  I wish he would.  He is so nice.
I hope spring gets here and stays.  I do not like snow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Catster has everything working like a charm again!  They were so kind as to give me a zealie for the rosettes that I lost, too!  Now that is totally nice and honest and great!  Thanks, Catster boys and girls!
Then, to top my day off, I get to be one of the Diary Picks of the Day!
Now that's sumpin' wunnerful!
We have made some new friends and it is so much fun!  Mommie hasn't got anything better to do 'cuz she's old.  She has been fighting a cold and Daddy has been really sick.  Poor Daddy.
Well, this is a rather dainty subject, but, I think I will tell you what happened to me yesterday.  It was terrible
My Mommie has long hair, halfway down her back.  What has that got to do with anything?  Well, somehow or rather, I managed to swallow one of those long hairs.  They do not come out very nicely.  Um-mmm...as I said, this is not a great subject to discuss and I am rather embarrassed by it all...but, it could  happen to any one of you and you should know what might happen.
The hair was stuck to my um...deposit that was supposed to go into the litter box.  Only, it was stuck to the hair and it scared me half to death!  It wouldn't come off!  I ran out into the front room and went bananas trying to figure out what was wrong!  
Ma and Pa didn't know at first either!  Ma called me over and then realized something was still attached at the back end.  She pulled it off and then noticed there was also a hair there.   So then, she had to pull that out.  It was so-oooo embarrassing!  But, honest to catwhiskers, it hurt!  Well, I am just telling you this in case your Mommie has long hair too.  You have to be careful NOT to swallow the hair.  Mommie thinks it was in the water in the sink that she leaves for Mawsie and me.  She was worried at first that I might have to go to the doc-terror!  
Note by Mommie:  Cats can swallow little things like hair and string and small objects of any kind.  It causes minor and sometimes major problems.  Be careful what kind of toys you give your cats....nothing they can swallow.
Dancer was extremely agitated by this and so I will be more careful from now on.  Thank goodness it was fixable right away.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie is at it again!  She has a lot of feral cats that come to our house to eat.  She found homes for the Mama cat and three of her babies.  There is a gray and black cat that has been coming for over a half a year and he has decided to let Ma pet him and even hold him.  He is one handsome dude!
Woo hoo!  Anyway, she decided that now she can find him a home too.  She finally gave him a name and she calls him Bashful.  He is now on Catster and he is the featured DIARY PICK OF THE DAY!  So, if you are looking for a nice cat from Montana  (the BEST kind)  let us know.  We want to be sure he never has to spend another winter out in the cold here in Montana.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>WE RAN THIS BEFORE BUT, IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT WE DECIDED TO RUN IT AGAIN.

PET FOOD RECALL...DOGS AND CATS DYING FROM KIDNEY FAILURE AFTER EATING PET FOOD.

CHECK THIS OUT AT <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.menufoods.com/recall">MENU FOODS RECALL<b><i></a></b></i>
Menu Foods said Saturday it is recalling dog food sold under 46 brands and cat food sold under 37 brands and distributed throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The pet foods were sold by major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Kroger and Safeway.
A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates is available from the Menu Foods website, http://www.menufoods.com/recall . Consumers with questions can also call (866) 895-2708.
"At this juncture, we're not 100 percent sure what's happened," said Paul Henderson, the company's president and chief executive officer. However, the recalled products were made using wheat gluten purchased from a new supplier, since dropped for another source, spokeswoman Sarah Tuite said. Wheat gluten is a source of protein.
An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the reported cases of illness and death, the company said.
The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec. 3 and March 6.
The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said.
The company said it makes pet food for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies, including Procter & Gamble Co.
P&G announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands. The recalled products bear the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, P&G said.
Menu Foods' three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1 billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made at company plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J., Henderson said
Henderson said the company received an undisclosed number of owner complaints of vomiting and kidney failure in dogs and cats after they had been fed its products. It has tested its products but not found a cause for the sickness.
"To date, the tests have not indicated any problems with the product," Henderson said.
The company alerted the Food and Drug Administration, which already has inspectors in one of the two plants, Henderson said.
Menu Foods is majority owned by the Menu Foods Income Fund, based in Ontario, Canada

Aunt Dee Dee came over to check on us.  I ran out thinking it was Mommie, but, it weren't.  *sniff.
I know it wasn't any too nice, but, I didn't even go over to her to say hi.  I looked at her and went back into the bedroom and pouted some more.
But, I was sure happy when, just a few hours later, my Mommie came home!
She did a bunch of things, unpacking and putting away, and then, she came to the computer room to check her emails.  I came in and laid down on the chair alongside her and put my head on my paws and just laid there and smelled her.  She smells like Mommie.  And love.  And warm and good.  And safe.
I was so glad she was home.  I am happy again.]]></content:encoded>

I guess I will start searching for a ree-eeaaalllly good hiding spot.  Somewhere Mawse cannot find me.  Then, I will remind Ma to cut her fingernails 'cuz she will then, otherwise redecorate my dainty little nose.  I do not like my nose redecorated.....nor any parts of my face or body.
Well, if I live long enough to get through all of this, I will be reporting back to you in a few days to let you know what happens.  I am determined NOT to let Mawsie get the best of me.  I am little but I AM POWERFUL!  Sorta.
Okay, I am scared spitless, but, I will do my very bestest to get the first lick in.
See ya...gotta go check out hidey holes.]]></content:encoded>

I wondered what now?  I took a step and my poor little foot felt yucky!
I reached down and took a lick.....ACK!!!!!  How nasty!  I crow-hopped a couple of times and then set down for some serious cleaning.  Dang!  Whereever does this woman come up with such ideas?   Heard her tell dear ol' Dad that it should help with the hairballs.  I didn't know I had hairballs???
And pray tell, what is a hairball?    Is it sort of like the fun little catnip balls I like to play with?  Is it dangerous?  Does it taste good?  Will I die?  
The only good part of the whole thing was, she went over and grabbed Mawse, my Number One rotten sister, and put some on her foot too!!!  
Ha ha ahahaha...*snort!]]></content:encoded>

But, of course, Mawsie had to go and play the NICE cat, which she is NOT!
She let Mommie put on some stupid looking clothes on her.   And, then, she thought she looked beautiful!  Well, she is anything but that!  The negligee fit her fat asp like it was poured on her.  She is too fat to wear pretty things like that.  Besides, I am sure Mommie bought it with me in mind.  HA!
Ain't no days like that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance
by Red Skelton
 
I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one. 
Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity. 
Allegiance - - My love and my devotion. 
To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job. 
United - - That means that we have all come together. 
States - - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country. 
And to the Republic - - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. 
For which it stands 
One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God. 
Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided. 
With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation. 
And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others. 
For All - - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. 
And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance: 
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. 

Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>"Oh, Dancer, you are just so funny!"  Mommie said.  We were playing a new game with one of her paint brushes.  She would poke it in a hole on the wood on the marble coffee table.  Then, I would grab it.  Mom was having fun so I was humoring her.  She poked it in the hole again and for some reason she watched to see which paw I was using.
Then, she said,  "Well, Dancer, are you right pawed or left pawed?"
"Bout that time I had to get outta there real fast!  I was headed for the litter box as fast as I could go!
"Oh, now I know, Dancer, you're a pea pod!"
<I>She</i>  thought that was funny.

She looked everywhere.  I sat in there and watched her.  She's funny when she gets a panic attack!
I wonder where I can hide tomorrow.
This is fun!
That was a good hidey hole.  The best yet.
What's really, really funny, is when I am practically right in front of her and she doesn't see me.   That's the best.
I was going to ask her to do my diary, but, she looks half asleep yet...plus 
I am not too sure what kind of mood she is in.  
I hope she has a good mood when she wakes up.  Right now I think she is just sleep walking.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We have lived here since July last year.  Mommie has been feeding those outside cats since then.  There is a gray cat that Mommie thinks is so beautiful and he has never, ever let Ma get close or pet him at all!  Well, she came in two days ago and she was grinning from ear to ear.  She told Dad that she got to pet him and then,  he rubbed on her leg.  Well, humph...that cat has a lot of nerve!  <I>That's my Mommie!</i>  And, MY leg!  I have been quite generous letting her feed him,  but, that cat doesn't need to go thinking he will kiss up to MY Mommie so he can move into MY house!  And, get MY pets!
I'm feeling a little crabby about that....okay, so I am a bit jealous.
I already have to share her with Mawsie and that is one more than enough!

Then, rubbed on the other one.  Then, I rubbed on the computer desk, and I rubbed on the cord that hangs down from her cell phone.  Then, I rubbed on her chaiir and her foot.
Now, It's several hours later and she has been cleaning and putting things away, washing clothes and making some home-made soup.  She had a breakfast pizza of which I did not receive one single bite...cleaned both bathrooms and mopped.  What is she trying to do, be SUPER WOMAN?
I am not going to waste my time with the rub thing again.  It didn't work out this morning!
She needs to take a break.....besides, I need some attention,  NOW!]]></content:encoded>

She said, 'Whatever makes you think that you would be the recipient of that kind of honor?"
"Well," Dancin' Girl says,  "I am cute!"
Mawsie says,  "Whatever has that got to do with anything....you are also STUPID!"
"Am Not."
"Are, too."
"Not."
"And, what's more, you looks like a furry balloon when you walk across the floor."  Mawse says with a snort!
"I most certainly do not!"
"Oh, yes, you do!"
"Well, you look like a hippopotamus with cat whiskers,"  Dancer says.
"Ha!  Have you ever seen a hippopotamus?"
"No."
"Well, then, how can you say I look like one, if you have never seen one?"
"Um....."  Dancer stutters,  "I dunno."
"Get your facts straight.  See, I told you are STUPID."
"Am not."
"Are, too.  If you really think that you will be COTW because you are cute,   then, you got another think coming."
"Do you really think so?,"  Dancer grins.  Then, I think with my other think, that I think I am going to be COTW.  So there!"
"Arr-rrrggggghhhhh..."  Mawse grits through her teeth.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, I had my little pity party yesterday and I am all done wih that now!
Gawd, it's so boring being a sniveling cat.
I was just looking at my Catster page and I have two candles on my pretty cake now!  Whatever happened to that time?  It just seems like yesterday that I joined this family.  It has been such a wonderful two years....I am so very happy!  I love my Mom, I love my Dad, I love my house, I love my food, I love my toys.....and I don't like Mawsie, my sister.  Well, ya can't have everything, ya know!
Our new house is getting prettier all the time.  Mommie said she really didn't like it too much when we bought it.  She just liked the fact that we were by lots of fishing and that we had a beautiful view of Canyon Ferry Lake.  And, she loves to watch the sun rise every day from our front window.
In the spring and summer, we have a multitude of flowers, including lots of daisies.  Mommie loves daisies!  But, with all the new stuff in here, new carpet and linoleum, new countertops and hardware, new, fresh paint on the walls, well, she says it is our home now.  It's us.  She even painted some murals, all by herself...one in the bathroom and the other one in the frontroom.  She did good.  
I can't wait now for spring to see all the flowers again!
Ta ta....I gotta go remind Mom that it is playtime!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Oh woe is poor little me....Mommie has been so-ooo busy today.
She has had puter problems and so she has spent most of the day working on her laptop.  I know she doesn't mean to ignore me, but, it has just been one of those days.  She still hasn't gotten the newer mouse to work right.  And, so everything she has done, has been done with a touch pad.   I know it is a lot of work for her,  because she changed all of our backgrounds from Valentine's to pretty flowers.  Plus, she made new font colors and stuff.  She is so sweet.
But, I am lonely.  I came into the compter room and rubbed on her leg a few times.  and, since it was there, I scratched on her speshul chair.  She told me not to do that and I know I shouldn't, but, I knew it would get her attention!
It did.....but, she just hollared at me.   I don't like it when she says No, that is the worst word in people talk.  I want her to say YES and come play with me.
We got a lot of snow last night, too.  And I have Spring Fever.  I want to go outside and play...but, she won't let me do that either.
She brought me in a snowball, though, and I sniffed it and then, looked at her wondering what the heck she did that for?  I do not like snow anymore than she does.   Maybe less even.   
Some of my friends are COTW and daily diary picks and all kinds of good stuff.
Is it me?  Doesn't anyone like me?  Am I really ugly like Mawsie says?  Does my breath smell stinky?   Mawse was a diary pick.  I wasn't.  I am so sad.
I wish Mawse would be my friend, so I would have someone to talk to.  Sometimes it helps to talk when you are sad.
I need a friend.
I'm sorry to be so down.  Maybe tomorrow things will be better.  I hope so.]]></content:encoded>

fallings heart stuff for Valentin's day.  Pretty cool, huh?
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=418262&j=t"><b><i>NEFERKITTY</a></b></i>   has a page to help.  I need to do some more studying 'cuz there are lots of things to learn!
&#9829;DANCER&#9829;...we even learned how to put hearts around our name!!!  Mommie says she needs to get busy today and get some other stuff done.  Why?
I am having quite a good time learning all this new stuff.
Mommie says there is washing to do.
Why?
Because Daddy is going to need some clean socks.
Why?
Because he doesn't like to wear dirty, stinky socks!
Why?
Oh, Dancer, you are so silly....you don't like dirty socks either.  You wash your feet and keep them clean.  And I have housework to do, also.
Why?
Dancer, how would you like to be thrown out in the pretty new snow?
Why?
If you say that again, I am going to make sure you get real clean socks...washed with the nice clean snow.....
Why?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I got up this morning and there is snow out there!  It looks like a pretty white blanket all spread out over the lake.  But, I know it doesn't <I>feel</i> like a blanket!  Snow is pretty cold and it feels wet and yucky on the toes.  
But, I am a lucky girl now....I don't have to go out in that snow to find a bite to eat.  I can just mosey into my cat room and there it is!  A nice big, fat bowl of tasty food!  And water, too!!!   Life is good!
I don't mind the snow anymore, but, I do feel sorry for those kitties Mommie couldn't catch.  She worries about them and makes sure they have a full tummy, like she did for me lots of times (before she catnapped me.)
I sure hope the authorities don't know my Mommie is a criminal.  she is a cat
burglar from wa-aaay back!  She catnapped me over two years ago.  So far, no one has showed up at her door.  I would go hide if they did!  Then, she stole another Manx, my sister, and gave her to my aunt Shelle!
Then we moved here and she has burlged five more cats and found them homes!
Is that against the law?  I know you aren't supposed to steal.  Is it a crime?
Well, I won't tell if you don't!!!   Ha ha!
(And, phooey on the neighbors who don't feed their kitties!)]]></content:encoded>

Mommie says she wants a box chocolate candy for Valentine's day....Then why did she make fudge tonight if she is thinking of a box of chocolates?
I don't want any of that stuff....but, a nice box of spiffy catnip would do nicely!!!]]></content:encoded>

Does it?  Okay, so I don't just roll over into a little ball,  sometimes I roll over and over and then wonder what the dickens happened to me?
IT ISN'T FUNNY!  It's a darn nuisance!  I feel so dang stupid!   But, it sure irritates me that it is so impossible to reach....I need a bigger handle!
She even took a picture of me trying to do it and she had the nerve to put it on this page!  Phooey!
Just give me the camera....we will see who wins hands down at who does the dumbest things....and it won't be me!!!

and then start again on the other side!   I worry about making them feel left out so I always try to do both legs.   Mawse is so jealous of me....so I sure don't want to make them feel like that!
We have people I don't know here today.  They are putting in new cupboard tops.  I really don't know too much about cupboard tops, as the first and ONLY time I ever got up there, Daddy bellard at me!  Scared the shorts off'n me!  
So, I haven't bothered to try that again!!!
I hate it when anyone yells or gets loud.  Daddy has the biggest voice.
Ma says that's because his mouth is MUCH bigger than hers.   Most of the time I am such a nervous wreck because Mawse likes to sneak up and scare me!
She has got to be the meanest cat in the whole world!
Ohmigarsh!!!!  They just turned on this terribly LOUD machine.  I am outta here!  I hate noise!!!  I gotta go hide!]]></content:encoded>

It is said that 86% of Americans

"Dear Heavenly Father, 
hold our troops in your loving hands. 
Protect them as they protect us.

Please stop a moment

Of all the gifts you could give our

I was gonna ask her for one of those quarters, so I could get her sumpin',  but, then, I realised I don't know how to drive either, so I can't even go to the store.    I didn't see any mouses to give her and she doesn't like my catnip or I would share it.  
She wasn't too happy this morning because it snowed on her birthday.   So, I said a little purr-rayer and asked for some nice sunshine today, just for her!  
Guess what?
The sun is shining and it is very purdy out there, so, I got her some sunshine, special delivery from God!
Happy purr-thday to my Mommie!  I love you so-oooo much!]]></content:encoded>

Mawsie is such a slob and never cleans things up!  So, who gets this dirty deed.....you got it!  Me.  She is so lazy.
Mommie thinks she is so funny....after digging for about 5 or 10 minutes, I hear something about, 'Whatcha doin'?....building sand castles?'   Ha, really funny, Mom.  How would she like her litter box left a mess like this?  I didn't think so.  Then, after a few more minutes, it's....'For crying out loud, Dancer,  are you going to dig in there all day long?"  The worst thing is, that there are two of them, side by side.  I have to clean BOTH of them or it would never get done.  Sometimes I stand on the edge of one and dig in the other.  Mommie laughs at me.....oh, yeah, that is really funny.....gr-rrrr.  I wish Mawsie would just use one and I could have the other one all for myself, but, no-oooo.  About the time I get one of them sparkly clean, along comes Fat Butt and makes another mess.  I hate Mawsie.
And, it isn't funny, either, Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie is having pizza for breakfast.  She is not eating kibbles and bananas this morning or frying up one of those chicken eggs.
She won't let me have any pizza.  Is pizza good?  It smells good.  
I think I would like it.....she is stingy!  Stingy guts, stingy guts!  Mommie is a Stingy guts!   
Yeah, I know....I am so particular that I hardly eat any people food.  I am just happy with my regular kitty food.   
Mommie bought some new kind for sensitive stomachs, mainly because Mawse is such a pig and she gobbles the food up, so I can't have any...then, proceeds to throw it up all over the new carpet.  Mommie should have bought a color to match the cat food and it wouldn't be so noticible.   But, then, maybe that wouldn't be so good.  Mommie really, really gags when she accidently steps in it.
Green might have been good....then it would match Mommie's face!
If anyone knows, let me know what pizza tastes like.....sure smells good!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mawsie and me got new backgrounds!!!  OH, oh...I am so-ooo excited!
They are real pictures of me and her.  Mine is a bee-oo-ti-ful pink one and Mawsie's is, well, Mawsie!
Pretty cool if I do say so.  We got them at pYzam.  You can upload your very own background of anything you want!  
Mommie was pretty busy washing clothes and just being a girl, doing girl things....boring.  But, she was nice to us and did our backgrounds.
She is so-ooooooo nice!   Just ask her.
Mawsie makes me so mad.  For the longest time, Mommie has played with me every single night, well, almost.  Now all of a sudden, Mawse thinks she has got to be in on the action!  The turkey doesn't even like to play!  She hangs around my special toy box just to tick me off, too.  I hate her.  She just tries to take over everything that I like.  I have decided, that she cannot have both beds.  I get up on the master bedroom bed....I don't care if she likes it or not.  I don't know why she has to have both of them.  (Probably because she is so fat!  Tee hee!)
And I don't know why she likes to interrupt my playtime.  She drives me nuts.
I ne-eeeeed my playtime.  Really, really.
In fact, I will see you later.  It is past playtime and I am going to demand that Mom play with me.  And, if Mawse the Lawse shows up, I am going to be vicious.  And mean too!  At some time, a girl just has to stand up for herself!
And, this is it.
I will see you tomorrow, if I can.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Ya know, I am pretty used to Mawse giving me a bad time because I haven't got a tail....BUT....I really don't expect my own dear Daddy to do the same thing.  I do not like it  when Mawsie does it, but, for a grown up man to act like that is beyond me!
Mommie and Daddy were having spaghetti for supper tonight...smelled pretty good to me.    So, I sat there being rather cute...if I do say so myself, hoping my cuteness would earn me a taste of that 'sketti stuff.   I was being nice, not begging or anything.   Just sitting there.  Well, dear old Dad says,
"Hey, Dog,  (He calls me that sometimes.)  would you like to have some spaghetti"  
"Well, as a matter of fact, I do,"  I said.
"Great,"   says Dad,  "We'll tie a piece of it on your butt and that way it will look like you have a tail!"
Oh, cute.
Just what I needed...another smart a-aaa-um-mmm, aleck.
"Well, 'snort, I just walked away.  I wouldn't have a bite of that stuff if my life depended on it.  He might just take the rest of it and put it on the top of his head.....he's darn short of hair on top and it might help!
Phooey on him!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Don'tcha just love my daisies on my page?  It was my special request. 
I told Mommie that I am tired of winter and I want some pretty flowers!
I want SPRINGTIME!!!!
She said we haven't even had any snow yet, and that most likely we will get our share of that one day.  Phooey.  I don't like snow.  I prefer daisies.
I hope you had a nice Christmas.  We sure did.
I am ready for the new year!  
I have some resolutions.
My number one resolution is to be the BOSS around here.   Of course, I realise that I am going to run into some opposition here with that one.  My problem being that I am the little one.  Mawsie, my big sister, is a cow.  She outweighs me by......Oh oh.  She told me that if I write that she will bonk me on the head.
I do not look good with bonks on my head.  Now, how can I be boss when I let her get away with that?  She is a pain in the asters.
My number two resolution is to be even cuter....'cuz it ticks Mawsie off.
That should be no problem, although I have no idea how to be much cuter.
I am already wa-aaay too cute.
Number three is to find a way to be bigger than Mawse.
How do you grow about four inches and gain 6 pounds?
Ha ha ha ha......snort! * * sneeze!  I just told how big Mawsie is and she didn't catch that one!
And she says I am stupid!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

I was daintily laying by our little Christmas tree...Mawsie and I  have a little one of our own,  and  I was sleeping pretty good when I heard some raucous noises.   I opened one eye and one ear and Daddy was sitting on the couch laughing!  Dunno why.  Well, at least I didn't know then.  I know now and I am not too happy!
Mommie came into the front room and he said,  "You shoulda seen your cat.  She was laying by the little tree sound asleep, snoring!"  Then, he started that stupid laugh noise again.   (Notice when they say something negative that it's <I>always</i> <U>your cat?</u>
First off, I DO NOT SNORE!  LIAR PANTS!  I'M A GIRL.   And girl cats do not snore....EVER!  I am much too dainty for all that.

Christmas was a little tough on my budget.  I don't even know how I am going to get through the next month!  I have friends, ya know.  Friends who need and deserve rosettes....whatever will I do?  
Well,  I know Mommie goes to the bank  to get some of that paper stuff she calls money.  Seems to make her pretty happy.  Maybe I could go to the bank to get some more rosettes.  Nah, probably not....they don't even know me there.  Wonder if I could sweet talk Mom into buying some more.
Nah....she's a tightwad!
Well......if you are one of my friends you will just have to be patient for now.
I will get another installment after the first of the year.  And then I will go on anothe spending spree!

I fell off the ledge on the buffet thingy that Mommie lets me walk on...I don't get to get on the table or the cupboards or anything else, though.  I fell on my side and I felt sorta stupid.  No wonder Mawsie calls me stupid all the time.  but, it kinda hurt too....mostly my pride.  Mommie tried to pick me up and hug me, but,  I wanted back down.
My Mommie is so happy.  She says the best thing you can get for Christmas is love.  And she got lots of LOVE  wrapped in hugs and kisses and special thoughts.   From those she loves.

Onlyiest, I don't think she appreciated the help as much as I appreciated helping!  I got to hold the paper down and get in the way and I got scared when she meowed through a big paper tube thingy!
Some of the paper got stuck on my tail and I went round and round in circles and she was laughing so hard at me!  It wasn't funny!   I managed to get in the way and mess up some of the paper and took off with one of her pretty ribbons.  Well, she doesn't need all of 'em anyway!  
She said if I didn't behave, she would wrap me and stick me under the tree till Christmas!

But, Ma has a grin on her face and she thinks she pulled a fast one on me.
She doesn't know that I planned it all this way....that if I didn't want to do this, there is no way she would have gotten these pictures.  She is so simple sometimes.  But, sweet!
She's just like a little kid sometimes....and it doesn't take much to make her happy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie wrote in Mawsie's diary so I think it only fair that she write in mine.    She says we are so jealous and dumb 'cuz we are so-oooo jealous of each other.  Well, I am not jealous of that fat butthead!   Just 'cuz she has tons of rosettes and tons of treats....it's only because people felt sorry for her.
She isn't even nice.
Since she has started to feel better, she has been being mean to me.  I think I liked her better when she was sick.  At least then she didn't treat me like a piece of dog dirt.  
Well, I am beginning to think I know who the favorite cat is around here.  After I got my shot and was feeling mighty sick,  Mommie and Daddy left and went to Billings for two days.   I had to suffer all by myself.  No one cares if  I live or die.  Mommie said she had four doc-terror appointments that she had to go to in Billings.  I wonder if she goes to the same doc-terror that I go to?
She had aunt Dee Dee come over to make sure we were okay, but, it just isn't the same without my Mommie.  Even if Aunt Dee Dee thinks I am cute...when I am sick, I want my Mommie!
Okay, so I am much better and it was only 'cuz I had all those nasty shots that I didn't feel good.  I thought it was awfully mean for her to drop me off over there and let them do dungeon torture techniques on me.  I am only a little girl and I just don't know much about this old world.  I never had shots before when I lived with those other people who didn't take care of me.  Well, maybe there's a reason.
Oh...Mawsie  said if I don't get those shots that maybe I would die.  
Oh.
Well, maybe Mommie does love me after all.
Mawsie says that it would sure be a lot nicer if I wasn't so stupid.
Well, I would read a book if I could.
But, I can't so I won't.
I will just go on my way and be a bubblehead and enjoy life to the fullest.
At least my butt quit hurtin'.  Now, my Mommie says her arm hurts.  She got a  shot too.   (Snicker,snort!)]]></content:encoded>

mawsie said it hurts and they use a needle as big as my leg. 
 i am scared.
i hate the doc-terror anyway.

Mawsie was bragging to me that she has over 1000 treats!  Well, big deal!  I would rather have over 1000 furr-riends than 1000 treats....I think.
Hey, what kind of treats are they?  Would I like them?   Do they taste good?  
Do they taste like chicken?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie knows exactly where I like my itch to be scratched!  I have this spot just above where my tail would be if I had a tail and when she scratches me there, I go up on my tippytoes as high as I can go!    Up, up, up!!!   It just feels so good that I can't stand it!   Mommie says I look pretty silly and that my toes look pretty funny, like little starfishes out of the water!
But, dang, that feels so-oooo good!  Do you have an itchy, wanna-get-it-scratched kinda place too?   Mawsie likes her chin scratched.   Mommie likes her back scratched.   
I would scratch Mommie's back, but, I think it would take all day....not that she is fat, mind you....heh, heh....well, she <I>is a lot bigger than me!</i> 
I get to doing my breadmaking, kneading, and it just comes over me real fast.  Then, I think, well, shucks, I could have done Ma's back for her.  By then, I am outta the mood.  Oh, well, maybe that would be a nice Christmas gift for her.]]></content:encoded>

*****************************************************************
Mawse's page:

I was so impressed today when I got a nice rosette from Simon. We are listed as friends and I went to the site to read about Simon.
I was devastated to learn that Simon is missing still! 
PLEASE, PLEASE SEND SUPPORT TO SIMON! His family must be hurting real bad inside.
This is Simon's site on Catster:

Simon is from the Austin, TX area. Any news will be appreciated. Look at his picture and if you see one like him somewhere, try calling his name. 
Let's see if we can help his family!
Send some prayers out....we know that prayers work!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am getting real tired of this nonsense of Mommie shoving Christmas things alongside me and trying to get pictures for Christmas for Catster.
What is with her?   If I wanted a nice picture of me for Christmas, I would go sit by one of the trees and smile real pretty.  I do not want to have my picture taken.  Now, or tomorrow or the next day.   She snaps that stupid camera and I sit there and blink for a half and hour wondering what hit me!   My eyes can't take this anymore, nor can my patience, which is becoming mighty thin about now.  Bah humbug!
I want to play with my light or my string.  I do not want to become a poster cat.
She doesn't bother Mawse with all this.   Why?    Okay, so Mawsie was sick but, it's unfair that I have to take the brunt of all this.
Go take a picture of yourself , Mom and leave me alone.
(She is probably afraid she will break the camera....heh heh...snort!)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I found Mawsie!  She was at the terrible doc-terror's place.  She was sick!
I am so glad she is home....I think.  I suppose now that she is starting to feel better, that I best give up charging at her.  I have been havin' a little bit of fun and surprising her once in awhile with a secret surprise rush from across the room.   I don't suppose I will do that anymore.  Besides, Mommie hollars at me when I do that and calls me a troublemaker.  Who me?
So far so good, she hasn't pounded on me for all the times I scared her when she wasn't feeling good.   All she is doing is laying on the bed.  
I suppose I shouldn't admit it, but, it was pretty lonely without the old crabby cat around.  She might be crabby, but, she is still my sister and I do love her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am really scared.  I can't find Mawsie anywhere.  I looked in all the bedrooms and the livingroom and kitchen and under the beds and I can't find her anywhere.   It's strange, but, it feels so funny without her here to bug me.
Oh, no!    I just heard Mommie say something to Daddy about Mawsie being at the vet place!  Oh, no, poor Mawsie!  She said that she has distemper, because that veterinarian didn't give her a shot like Mommie asked.  And because Mommie was trying to help a bunch of wild kitties find homes.  And they must have the distemper thing.  No wonder Mawsie wasn't being mean lately, she didn't feel good.  
We don't get along very well, but, I miss her being here.  She is still my big, pretty blue-eyed sister and I do love her very much.
I think when I go to bed tonight, I will say a special prayer for Mawsie.  
Mommie has been crying all day long, because the vet told her he is not sure if Mawsie will make it.  
Poor Mawsie.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Hm-mmm...things are really getting interesting around here.  They brought some trees ??? in the house.  They <I>look</i> like trees, but, they don't <I>smell</i> like trees!  I like real trees myself.  And the one in the frontroom is kind of flimsy and I can't climb up it.  I tried last night when everyone was sleeping.  Mawsie told me that was a good time to be sneaky.
Don't suppose she was trying to get my fluffy little butt in trouble, do you?
She said they would put paper wrapped gifts under the tree, too, and that they would all be for me and that I should rip and  tear them open with my teeth and claws to see what is inside.  She told me not to tell Mommie that she told me that.  Well, that's a pretty good indication that I probably better not do it or else I will be in big trouble.    But, I wonder if it's true?  Suppose there will be lots of gifts for me?  Will I like them?  Will I get new toys and some catnip?  Maybe just a little peek....after dark.
Oh, I am just so curious....I can hardly wait!]]></content:encoded>

Mawsie just told me it is not to climb on,  and  that they put boxes under it.  Well, I like boxes too....they are fun to hide in.  I can pretend I am in the jungle and there are all kinds of wild animals here and that I am hiding in a box and I am devising my attack plan.....
Oh. 
 Mawse says that the boxes already have stuff in them and that they tape them shut.  Well, shoot,  so much for that idea.
And she said that they put lights and round balls on them!!!  Hot dang!  I like to play with balls!  That outta be fun!  I can hardly wait!  
Oh, now she tells me that if I play with them, they will break and Mommie will kill me.   She said to use the oldest most treasured ones first, that Mommie would really prefer that.  Okay, I can do that.
I wonder if Mawsie is pulling my leg?  
Well, we will just see what developes around here.  I have a feeling that it is going to be real interesting!  Don't you?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am so-ooo glad that I am not an outdoor cat anymore!   It is so-ooo cold outside that you cold freeze your tail off!!!!  If you have a tail....I don't.  
Hm-mmm, do you suppose that is what happened to my tail?    When I was living outside,  did I freeze it off?  OH NO!!!   That is a horrible thing!
Well, in that case I guess I need to forgive my Mommie for bringing those kittens in while it is below freezing out there.  
She caught three more kitties and brought them in.   They are in her master bathroom and I must say, I was not the least bit happy with that.  But, I do understand how she is.   She went downtown on Monday with the three kitties
and took them into businesses along main street to find people for them.
It was so cold, only 4 degrees.  She thought she would freeze to death but, she didn't care.  She walked into the bank and this lady got that "I gotta have it" look on her face and she adopted one of the kitties!   Mommie came home with the other two and she cried because she couldn't find homes for them.
So, until the weather breaks,  the kitties will live in our bathroom.  
Keep your fingers crossed and  purr-lease say a prayer for them.
I love our Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I guess I should be ashamed of myself.  Mommie went out and took food to the yard kitties again this morning.  I was sitting in the window watching them play.  Mommie opened the window just a little bit, so I could visit with them, because I always sit and purr when I watch them.  Well, this morning, I wasn't in a very good mood.  The orange kitty stuck his paw up to me and I tried to reach out to scratch him!  And I hissed!
Mommie said I am not such a good neighbor and told me I am bad.  I am not bad, I just get tired of sharing my Mommie with them.  She's mine...well, mine and whatsernames...Mawsie.  I can't do anything about Mawse but, I can try to run them other little boogers out of here, before I have to share her with them, too!!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie has been so-ooo busy this morning, cooking and cleaning and cooking some more!  We cats, Mawsie and I like to be underfoot, mostly Mawsie 'cuz if a little morsel drops on the  floor, she is first to grab it.  Nevermind that I don't even really like most people food.  And she could have it anyway as far as I am concerned.
Well, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I was a very nice cat to my sissy Mawse.
She was stupid enough to go into the pantry (and she calls me Stupid!) when Mom got some stuff out of there, but, Mommie didn't notice that Mawse had gone in, too.  I saw, though...heh...heh...heh.  I wasn't going to say anything but, beings as how it is Thanksgiving, I thought, what the heck!  I went over to the door and peered under the door.   I finally got Mom's attention and she came to open the door.  Out struts Mawse like, "Ha, I meant to do that!"
And guess what?  Not even a thank you on Thanksgiving day.
Well!  
Snort!
Bah Humbug....Oh,...... that's for Christmas, right?
Whatever.
She goes in again and she is on her own!
I wouldn't tell Santa Claws now, even if she begged me to.  In fact, I just might tell him she hasn't got a lick of manners!  And what does he think of that?
I wish she would go in again......]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am getting pretty upset around here.  They don't love me any more!
All they want to do is paint and fix on this house.  This house does not need anything like I do.  I ne-eeeed some love!  Mommie does all the work and then she won't hardly play.  They were sitting in the computer room last night at about midnight and I went to all the trouble to drag my string in there, clear from the frontroom.   Did she pick it up right away and have fun with me?   NO!  She did not.  
So, I gave a little sigh and went back in the other room and laid down all by myself.  *sigh....i'm lonely......* sigh....
They were in there and I heard them come out and suddenly Mom said to Daddy,  "Oh, look, Bob....(that's his name) Dancer brought her string clear in here.  How cute!  I guess I better take some time to play with her."
Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy!!!  It worked! 
She is a good Mommie.  I gave her some rubs 'cuz she just looked like she needed them.  She is so very awfully tired and so is poor old Daddy.
But, so far today things look pretty good.  They moved all the furniture back and the appliances to the kitchen and utility room.  There is no more painting going on and Mommy is doing some cooking and Daddy is taking a nap.
Maybe, just maybe, there will be lots of time for me tonight!  I would be ever so thankful!
Oh, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie kept reading about all the cats having fun with Q-Tips, so last night she gave me two of my very own.  Wow!  That is al I have to say...WOW!
I just have never had so darn much fun!  What a neat little toy.  You have got to see my new pictures of me and my Q-tip!
I played and played till I played myself out!  Darn near as good as catnip...well, maybe NOT that good!  But, I would sure like to have some more.  I will be extra cute and lead her to the bath area where she got those things last night.  Maybe she has some more!
Gosh, that's fun!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I have been migh-T patient around here while Mommie and Daddy are painting and doing weird things to our house.  But, I am running out of patience.  I want to play!  I want to do my diary!  I want ...um...Something!
What, I don't know, but, I am tired of being ignored.
<i>I am cute. </i>  Remember?  I am sweet and I deserve an audience.
I deserve to do my diary.
My fans will miss me.
And last night just before bedtime, I got flipped up-side-down like a dead mackeral and got my toenails trimmed!  Again.  I hate that!!!!
And the only good part was that she did Mawsie's too...first.  Ha ha.
I heard her say to Daddy that since they were going to town and leaving us cats in the house, she better trim nails or there would be fur flying while they were gone.  Ha!  The only fur flying would be Mawse's, 'cuz I got her buffaloed,
almost.    And while we are on the subject, that's another thing....they left us alone again today.  I hate that too!!!!
Snort!
I am definitely running out of patience here.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My purr-son is so silly sometimes.  Sometimes I think she is part cat!  
Everybody knows cats keep odd hours....sleeping all day and wanting to stay up all night.  Well, they got nuthin' on my Mom.  Guess who is up at 3 A.M., this morning?  You got it...the old gal.
Well, a cat needs to take full advantage of situations like this.  I got her all to myself, without old crabby Mawse buttin' in.   So, I moseyed over to the computer where she was sitting with her cup of coffee....and I flopped down,  rolled over onto my back and showed the delicious part she loves to pet!    My softer than velvet, fluffy little tummy...(Okay, so it's not so little!)
And then I rolled up my toes in that cute little way she cannot resist!   I blew her a kiss with my sweet pink mouth and she said,  "Ah-hhh, Dancer, you are so cute."  (Works every time!)   Pretty soon I was up on her lap getting all the hugs and kisses a cat needs at 3 A.M. in the morning!   I was purring so loud, I dang near stripped my gears.
So, I kinda like it that my purr-son is part cat.  Works for me!
Purr-rrrr-rrr-rrr-rrrr.....zzzz-zzzz.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I really do have my doubts as to my human's sanity at times.  They do the dangest, dumbest things I have ever seen!  I knew something was up...Ma started taking all the pretty pictures that are on the wall down.  Now, I thought that was kinda odd as they just moved here and she just put the pictures up!!!  Go figure.
Daddy hauled in a big thingy with steps on it and pretty soon Ma was on it and getting up and down, up and down....and she was smearing some brown stuff on the wall!!!  She got one wall done and was standing there oohing and aahing,  saying  that it looks so pretty!!!  Huh?   I thought it just looked like the same old wall,  different color.
Oh.
Mawsie said it was a ladder that they hauled in and the stuff on the wall is paint.
Oh.
I said,  "What is the point in the paint?"
"There is no point in paint,"  says an exasperated Mawse.
"That's what I am trying to say...."  I says. 
Mawse said,  "You are <I>beyond</i> stupid."
Well, all I can say is that it sure doesn't take much to please some people!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Please help if you can.  Mommie just put three adoptable kitties on our site.  They are all adorable and desparately need homes before winter sets in.
Montana weather in the winter can be very cruel to small animals.  Sometimes it gets to be 30 BELOW.   Years ago, when Mommie was a child, she saw the results of weather like that on an abandoned cat.  The ears were frozen off and much of the tail, too.  Maybe that is why she feels so desparate to find these darling babies a home.  And, Mama Cat needs a home too.  She is a great mouser and loves her babies to pieces.  She waits to eat, letting them get their fill.  She is full of love.  It took nearly a month for her to trust Mommie enough to let her pet her.  Now, she loves her affection as much as the babies!  Mom will get a picture of her and put her on here, too.
These kitties are darling and love to be held.  They sing some mighty loud tunes and let you know they love you and appreciate your caring.
Mommie said she will be glad to drive part ways if you are not close to her area of Townsend, Montana.  Just so it's in Montana...can't drive to Texas!
PLEASE, PLEASE....help us find homes for these babies.  They are about 8 weeks old...not too sure of the age, but, they are little.  There are some other black kittens too, but, not yet pettable!  (Is that a word?)
The names of the kitties are:
PUMPKIN NOSE
DEW DROP
AND TANGERINE.
PLEASE LOOK AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO CATSTER!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Yesterday was such a good day.  The little outdoor kitties that my Mommie feeds were out there.  Some of them were peeking in the window.  My cat hater Dad...hee hee...put a block of wood under the window so the babies could peek in.  I was sitting in the window enjoying their company.  It took me back to the time that I had my own babies...and I purred and purred.
It brought back the most beautiful memories of my life!  I was so happy to have them share some time with me.    It brought a little tear to my eye because now I can never have any more babies....but,  maybe I can enjoy the little wild kitties Mommie feeds.
Mommie will put a couple of pictures in for you to see.
Yesterday they got some cod and some chicken mixed inwiththeir food.  They loved it!
Mama Kitty lets Mommie pet her now and she thinks that is so cool!  It took a month for her to trust my Mommie.  but, now she knows that Mommie loves her too!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie laid down to take a nap.  I thought it would be nice of me to lay near her and keep her nice and warm.  It is only about 20 degrees today!
Br-rrr!  Make ya wish ya was wearin' them long john thingys!  Anyway, I got up there alongside her and turned upsidedown and then, nearly fell off.   I turned around again...and again.   Mommie was mumbling something about
no nap...or dead cat or something like that.   I was getting a bit disgusted with her petting me and nearly pushing me off the couch.    I wasn't getting much of a nap either.   M-mmum-bbmmbblee, mumble....no nap, dead Mudder.
Well, Humph....gave that idea up.  I finally went over to my personal chair where I can at least get some sleep.  Mommie is up again, still muttering something about no nap.]]></content:encoded>

Mawse said,  "You are adopted, you know."
"So, what's the big deal, so are you!"
"Yeah, but, they picked me 'cuz I am special!"
"Well,"  Dancer said,  "I am special, too!"

"Am, too!"
"Am, Not."
"Am so!"
"NOT! Mff-ff mrr-rrff."  said Mawse with a bite of kibbles in her mouth.
Dancer said,  "Don't talk with your mouth full, you know Mommie hates that!"
"Mmm-ffff-tttt,"  said Mawse and stuck out her tongue with a bunch of chewed up kibbles on it.
"Eeeee-yeeewww....you are so sick!"  said Dancer.
Mawsie swallowed and told her,  "You should thank your lucky stars that I let you live in this house!"
"Thank you?????????"
"You're welcome,"   said Mawse.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie was running around the house just getting her poor little self all tired out.    She sat on the  couch to clean a couple of things off of the coffee table and I hurried over.   I quickly got on her lap and laid down!
I just had to...I HAD TO!   If I hadn't of done that, she would have gotten back up right away and done some more work!   So, I took it upon myself to make sure that she took a break!   Someone has got to take care of these old people and make sure they stay healthy!  Hey, she's the one who delivers my groceries, so it is just natural that I would want to take care of her.  Oh, and naturally it was because I love her, too!   I rolled over and did my cute little bunny feet pose, with my feet up close to my chest.    She said,  "Aw-www,  sweet little Dancer, you are so darn cute!"
Then, she picked me up and held me close and gave me a super Mommie hug and a kiss on top of the head.....and plopped me down on the couch and left my fuzzy butt there!
"Well!"]]></content:encoded>

internet...and she couldn't write in our diaries!  So, we all had to suffer!
I see I was one of the diary picks for the day.  I am a lucky girl!  Rocky Ann sent congrats to me...she is so purdy and so nice!
Anyway, Mommie is still suffering from withdrawals.  She about went nuts not being able to get online!  Poor Mommie!  
So, today, we will catch up on our diaries and have a good time on the computer.  She has already been shopping on Ebay.  She is almost looking normal now...after her lo-ooong drought!
Thanks, Catster!  I will try to be worthy of the honor of being a diary pick.]]></content:encoded>

 ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, we got a really big surprise this morning.
Mommie and Daddy have been feeding the wild cats
next door and they thought there were about 5 or 6,
but, Daddy said this morning there looked like there 
was a tiny gray one.  Well, there was...as a matter of 
fact, there was also a tiny orange one and a tiny black 
one too.  Three baby kitties now to worry about!
They are pretty skinny and so very hungry.
So, Mama called her sucker sister and told her of the 
plight.  That there were three baby kitties over there
too and what was she going to do?
(Works every time.)
Sister Dee Dee said, well, she would take the gray one
if Mommie could catch it.  So, Mommie cooked up some
eggs and burger and went over there.  The little gray one
almost came to meet her and loved the smell of Mom's
home cooking!!!  Mom sat it down and reached in for a 
bite for the kitty and gave it to her.  She backed up, but,
when she smelled it,  she came over in a hurry!  She loved 
the chow!!  So, Mommie gave her a bit more and then she
reached down and petted the little one.  She didn't seem
to mind one tiny bit!  Pretty soon, after several mouthfuls, 
Mommie reached down and picked up the baby!
Then, she made a fast walk to the garage where the cat
holder is.  Daddy got it real quick and she put the little
gray kitty inside.  She wasn't really wanting to go, but,
there she was....inside and ready for her trip to her new
home.  Mommie got a couple of scratches, but, the kitty
didn't mean to, it was just scared.  
So, then, they made a trip to Aunt Dee Dee's and when they
drove up, Mommie said,  "I've got a present for you!"
That kitty doesn't know that this is the luckiest day of it's
life!  She has several other cats and they are all perfectly
spoiled rotten!  She loves her kitties!!!
Well, I know Mommie.  There are two other tiny ones over
there and she won't be happy till she finds homes for them all!!!
She hopes to get homes for all of the cats before winter sets in.
My Mommie is so sweet!  And so is Aunt Dee Dee!!!]]></content:encoded>

started the fire.  Then, he brought the lady her 
prosthetic leg and the phone so she could call
for help.  She got out and the dog went back in 
to save the cat, and both of them died.  How very 
sad that was.  What a beautiful animal.  One of those
angels sent down to take care of us.
Please, remember to be very careful if you use
candles.
We love you!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>It is really white out there.  Where is my pretty
blue sky?  I miss it!!!  It has been so rainy and cold today,
that I didn't even bug my Mommie to go outside once.
I didn't want to get my feet wet!  
Mommie says she feels sorry for the wild cats outside.  
I do too.  I know what it is like to be out there when it is 
rainy and cold.  I wish we could invite them in, but, Mawsie 
is such a turkey, she would be mean to them.  She'd have a big 
hissy, snarling, ugly, rotten, mean  fit!
Sometimes I think she wishes she was the only cat in
the world.
I wish she were the only cat in Timbucktoo and it was
really cold there and maybe her big, mean mouth would
freeze shut!!!   Ha ha ha, hee ha, (Hic*)  snort, sneeze!! * !
Dang, that would be furr-ific!]]></content:encoded>

to leave this morning so they could go to town,
she couldn't even finish my diary!  So now, she 
gets back and I don't see one little thing for me!!
That takes a lot of nerve!!!  No cat food, no catnip,
no NOTHING!   Well, I'm hurt.
Not only did I have to stay in this house by myself
with Miss Monster herself, (my sister Mawse) but,
I didn't even get a little treat!  Phooey!
Fine.
No purrs and trills for her!
Then smarty pants Daddy, who thinks he's atotal
comedian, says to me...."Whatsamatter?  Cat got your
tongue?"  
Oh, ha ha.  
Funny.

Halloween pictures on for your viewing pleasure.
Be sure to look!
I don't know why a cat is supposed to be the big hero
and kill bugs around this place?  I do not like to touch
the darn things, let alone put one in my mouth to kill,
just to satisfy one person here, who shall go unnamed.
I will not do it.  I wasn't born to kill bugs.  Hunting yes,
but, never ever bugs.  They stink to high heaven!  And 
they are scary looking!!!  I hate bugs!

So, here I sit, waiting, not so patiently, for my turn to
play!   And, so far, NOTHING!!!
What is with this woman?  
She knows we have a schedule and how very important
it is to keep a schedule!!!  She has been listing on Ebay
and so why is that more important than our play time?
Well, I will make one more run at her when she comes out 
to the kitchen and remind her.  Then, if she choses not to
listen, it is under the feet and between the legs I go!!!
That always gets her attention!!!]]></content:encoded>

figured out what she wants to be....she's in trouble,
BIG TIME!!!  I wonder if senility is a major factor in
her case?  
I wonder if by dressing up, she means getting out of
her old comfy robe?  Daddy would like that, I'm sure.
She says she wishes she were a little kid again so she
could go trick-or-treating.  She <i>loves</i> chocolate
so much it is almost an obsession!  Well, if trick or-treating
means you get to have all your favorite things, then, I am

slides that she was pooped!!  And, so was I!
So, she lay down on the couch to take a nice
nap.  Well, here was this nice warm body just 
going to waste, so I leaped up on top of her.
Liked ta scared her to death, poor old woman!
I felt bad about that, so I gave her a nice massage,
working the sore spots out on her side.  She was 
mumbling something about 'not getting much of a
nap around here,'  so, I figured that the nice massage
had made her quite happy.  Then, I cuddled up real
close and naturally I expected that she would have
to pet me....It's in the Book!  She did her job and I
had the bestest nap ever.  But, unfortunately, she
mumbled some things, that a kitten my age has
no business hearing and had the nerve to push me
off the couch and get up!  I really wasn't done with
my beauty rest!  
Wow, talk about crabby!   They get like that you know.
Especially when they get older.
And she is really older....and really, really crabby!]]></content:encoded>

She picked me up so very carefully, and just loved
me up something fierce!!!  I got lots of pets and some
special head kisses, (her form of headbutts!) and some
sweet talk and more kisses and pets.  I like the way she
picks me up.  She is so careful.  Since I am a manx and
sometimes we have problems with our backs, she always
picks me up by sliding her arm underneath my legs to 
make sure it doesn't hurt my back.
She even did all this before she had her morning cup of
coffee!

But, yesterday she had poisoness spelled wrong.  It came

We just looked out our window and two of those wild cats
are out there having breakfast on Mom.  I am surprised she
didn't catch them and bring them in.  That is how I got my
home.  I came for a snack at Mom's Cafe and next thing I
knew, I was in a cage and then, in Daddy's shop!  It was
just like magic!  One minute I was a homeless cat and the
next I had a Mommie and a Daddy and a nice place to live!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I got a new group!!!  and it's mine!  Mawsie
can't join my group 'cuz it's just for manx kitties!!
Ha ha, Mawsie!
If you would like to join my group or know another 
manx kitty,  it is called MANX BUTTZ.  It is  a group
just to show off what unique traits we have, no tails!
And it would be especially nice, if you would add a pic
for the group pictures.  Make sure it is a hind shot so
everyone an see how wonderful you are!
Also, there is so great info on manx cats, PLUS my
Mommie put in a link about what house plants are
poisonous to cats.  Be sure to have your human person
read it if you have lots of plants at your house.  We don't
want anything to happen to dear you!
I hope to see your picture on my new site.  Every manx
on Catster is welcome!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>This morning Mommie opened the door and
I rushed outside and she hollared at me.  I knew 
I was in really big trouble so I just kept going!
She shut the door.
Hm-mmmm.....OHMIGAWDWHATISTHIS!!!!
My feet were wet...soppy wet!  EGADS!!!!
OH NO!  I hate to have my feet wet.  I hate to
have even one toenail wet.  All five toenails
on <I>BOTH</i>  feet were wet.  What a revolting 
developement this was.
Mommie!!!!!!  Open the door, purr-lease!  I will
come back in, I promise!  I will never ever do that
again....EVER EVER!
(Promises are made in dire circumstances, ya know.)
At least I will be a lot more careful when I sneak past
her and run out the door.
<I>Finally</i>  she opened the door and I ran in like
a pack of wild, hungry, crazed dogs were on my heels,
EEE-YYEEEEWWWW!!!!  How dreadful!  My feet were
wet.  YUK!  I stuck one of them up and made a little
starfishy and wiped it dry.  Then dried the other one off
and went to my favorite chair and laid down.  
How disgusting can life get?  
Wet feet.  
Me-owl be more careful in the future.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, I don't know what the dickens is going on
here, but, I tell you, people are really, really weired!
It all started this morning about 7 AM.  Daddy started
messing around with that big boxy thingy that Mommie
cooks in.  Pretty soon, he got it away from the wall, and
then he drug it out to the middle of the floor.  It isn't much
good for anything but the cooking of food that Mommie 
does.  I considered maybe it might be used for a scratching
post but, the sides were much too slick!  He got this big thingy
and moved it out the door!  Now what are we gonna do for
food around here?  
Well, then, I heard a bunch of crashing and banging...such a 
lot of noise!  Scared me and Mawsie!  We went and hid.
Well, I just couldn't stand the suspense, I had to go look to
see what the weird human people were up to now.  And, guess
what?  Daddy had brought another one of those boxy thingys
inside.  Now how darn many of those do we need?  Does that
mean Mommie will cook twice the amount of food?  Or is one
of them just for Mawsie and me?  Yippee!!!!!!!!!!  Our own thingy
for cooking!
Mommie washed it up and she seemed to be pretty excited!
Whatever for?  It's not good for a scratching post or anything!
It sure doesn't take much for a human people to get excited!
Silly Mommie!  Now, throw a bit of catnip in it and you got 
something!  Maybe some chicken too....I like chicken.  I like
Mommie, but, I think she is weird.
Well, who knows, if that makes her happy....
She made some comment about the thingy being self-cleaning.
Well, humph, so am I and does that make me special?
And it has a smooth top.  What is a smooth top, pray tell?
Mine is smooth after I get done washing it.
Oh, well, just as long as she keeps doing the human thing and 
puts out the goodies!
(But, .....she is still weird.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My friend Amber sent me a rosette!
Boy, am I lucky to have a friend like that!
She is a pretty black manx.  If you want to 
she has a club called the FUSSBUDGET Club. 
It is for fussy cats.  Mawse, my sister joined
but, I am just not the fussbudget type.  I am
much too sweet!  So, you can look in the Catster
groups and see her group there.  
She's a super lucky cat!
She has a little boy.  I don't have one of those.
I don't have a little girl either.  I just have my old 
Mommie.  Rea-aaallllyyy OLD Mommie.
I feel so much better havng a friend like Amber.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie asked me if she could write in my diary 
today and since she asked so sweetly, I told her, go 
ahead,  Mommie!

I don't usually ask to write in my little girl's diaries, but,
I have had some thoughts here that I wanted to share.
My cats are so special to me.  They are my little babies
that always give me love and affection.  They don't ask
for much in their daily lives.....a bit of food and water,
a bit of love.
For such a meager fee they give me so much in return.
I get the satisfaction that someone loves me just the way
I am, unconditionally.  That even the days that I am a 
"bad Mother" that they still love me anyway.  And I
get small hugs and kisses on the chin in thanks for the
little I do.   They don't care if I am not purr-fect, nor do 
they care if my hair is not combed 'just so'.  They think 
I am wonderful in my old robe or a fancy dress.
They never say bad things to hurt my feelings, or tell
me I should have done this or that.  They just love me
each and every day, for the love I give to them.  I know
that if I didn't feed them one day, or pet them, they would
surely forgive me and let me know the love is there <U>forever.</u>
That no matter what I did or do in our time together,  they
would continue their love and share my life with me.  They
would make the "bad days" better for me.  The terrible days,
bearable,  as they have done and continue to do, asking
so little in return.  
Sometimes I wish people were more like cats.
I love my little girls,  Dancin' Girl and Mawse.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Okay, so I am being a bit of a butthead here, but,
I want to brag just a little bit and rub it into my big,
mean sister, Mawsie that I have more friends then she
does....I have also been corralled more times and pretty
soon I will have just as many looks on my page!!!!  And
she has been here lots longer than I have!  Na ner nan
er nannner!!  Ha ha heeheee...giggle, snort!  
That always ticks her off!!! 
I know I shouldn't be that way, but, all I wanted was a nice
sister cat who loved me too.  Yeah, she would love to
totally annihilate me!  I still wear a nice little scar between
my eyes that she deposited with great care one fine day.
I would still like to be friends with her, but, knowing that is
beyond impossible, I will just be the biggest pain in the butt
that I am capable of.   She stomped me so many times that
her stomper ought to be worn out, but, unfortunately, it's
not.   Wish it was!
I like to hide behind corners and jump out and make a scary 
face and hiss real loud!  She hates that!  But, then, she hates
everything about me....especially the fact that I am so cute!
So, I am glad I have more friends...(No wonder!)  and I am glad
I have been corralled more often....(I'm sweet!) and one of
these fine days, I will also have more looks on my page.  Ta da!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I got to go outside yesterday for a long time.
It was so much fun!  I went under the porch and 
over to the wood pile.  I ate some grass and just
had the best time!
Now guess what?  Mommie says it is supposed to
snow on Saturday!  What is this?  I don't much like
snow.  It makes my little feet cold!  It reminds me
of when I had to live outside al the time and it was
always cold and awful.  I DO NOT WANT SNOW.
Give me more days of sunshine and warm soft winds
to blow through my hair.  DO NOT GIVE ME SNOW.
The wind is cool this morning and I don't think I will
ask to go outside.  And if it snows on Saturday, I 
think I will wait till springtime to go outside again!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Hey, have you ever had real, live, fresh from the 
garden catnip?
Life is go-ooood!  I had some tonight!  My very first
ever!  I went through so many mood changes that I 
thought I was triplets!!!!  I was so silly and funny and
did my little dance thingy, and I tossed it in the air and
caught it and then, for some reason, I decided my dear
Mommie had ticked me off!  So, I reared up in the air and
tackled her hand....did the boxing thing re-eeeal good.
Then, I decided I was still havin' fun, ya know.  
Wo-oooww.
This is some cool stuff.  Really, really cooo-ooool!
My aunt Dee Dee sent me some from her house.   I must
remember to give her a nice rub the next time she comes
over to visit.  I usually just ignore her a bit and she tries
to get my attention.  But, I am such a turkey that I like to 
tease he r and pretend she isn't there.  I like her a lot, but,
I also like to tease her.  Hee hee.
Well, I gotta go now.  Mawsie dropped her catnip and didn't 
mutilate hers like I did, and I wanna be first to get the rest 
of it!!!
See ya after the party!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I asked Mommie to write this for me.
Last night I was in one of the bedrooms, 
looking out the window.  Daddy had gotten up 
and he heard a bunch of noise, but, he didn't 
come to see what the problem was.  He told
Mommie that something must have scared me
really bad, because there was a lot of commotion.
So, Mommie looked this morning to see if there
was any problem.  The only thing she could see,
was that Daddy had opened the window and they
are covered with blinds.  Mommie always makes 
sure that the ends are out of the way, so Mawsie 
and me can't get caught in the string!  Daddy didn't
think about that and they are pretty sure that is what
happened.  

I'm not talking.

But, purr-lease tell your people to make sure the blinds do 
not have strings that can choke your kitty.  It would
be a terrible way to die, getting hung with a string by the
neck.  Or if your people were gone a long time, and you
got caught by a paw or leg, you might have to have one
of them amputated.  It would be a terrible, terrible thing!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I was laying on the dining room floor, just
trying to be extra darling, so Mommie would
stop what she was doing and play with me.
It didn't work.
She just got out that stupid camera again and took
some pictures of me.  Dang!
She told me how darling and cute I am, but, she
still didn't play with me.  
I'm bored.
I don't have anybody to play with.  I am lonesome.
Wanna be my friend?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy went fishing today.
Mommie was really happy, but, all she caught
was one little perch!  And she let it go.
How come I never get to go fishing?
"Oh."
Mommie said it was because Daddy said he would
use me for fish bait.
Well, I didn't really want to go fishing anyway!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b> I was zooming around the house like I like
to do...just havin' fun, ya know, when I heard
Mommie say,  "Dancer, You've lost your marbles."
I wondered what that meant so I went and asked
Mawsie, my big sister what marbles are, and being
helpful, for a change, she told me they are toys.
"Oh."
So, I went in looked in my toy box to see if they 
were in there.  I found my fakey lookin' fish, a couple
of old beat-up balls, my favorite red light thingy, a 
fuzzy mouse on a string and some assorted, unidentifiable
objects that I didn't remember having.
I didn't see anything that looked like marbles.
Then, I remembered that I didn't know what they look
like, so, I went back to Mawsie and asked.
She said they are small round things.
"Oh."
I went to the toy box and looked again and I still didn't
see any small round things.  But, I did see some small
round things in the litterbox.  Yuck.
Not what I was looking for, I am sure.  If so, Mommie
really was insulting me.    And, she wouldn't do that,
would she?
I sure hope that I find my marbles some day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I got to go outside the other day!!!!  Boy, was
that fun!  Mommie saw me peeking over the screen
door and asked if I would like to come outside.
"Well, shucks, Ma'am, I shore would," I said.
So, she propped the door open and I took a look.
And looked some more....and so-ooome more.
Then I put one foot out and nothing happened!
So, I put the other one out and then, after that,
all four of my feet were outside, with me on 'em!
Ooooooh, this was beyond cool!  My feet were
having fun!  And so was I!  I saw some flowers 
and made a run down the step and stuck my nose
in them, and stayed there.
And stayed there, and sta-aaayed there.
It smelled like grass and bugs and flowers and
mouses and it was just a little bit of heaven!
I took a couple more steps and stuck my nose in
the flowers some more and then, I made a mad dash
for the door!
Phew, that was fun, but, a little bit scary!  It wasn't my
yard from before.  I wonder what they did with my yard?
Did they move it?  My yard had lots of pine trees and 
it was all hilly and I couldn't see many houses, only one.
Humph, weird!
But, I liked it a lot here.  Maybe I will do that again.
I heard Mommie tell Daddy that she wasn't sure if I would
go back inside.  What does she think I am, a complete
idiot?  I know where the food is.....silly Mom.
Mommie got some pics so she will put them in so you
can see my new adventure.
Ta ta....and trills to you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I think I like my new house now.  It is
nice and roomy and full of sunshine!  There
are daiseys and poppies and many kinds of
flowers outside.  The carpet is as green as grass
and I like to pretend I am running through the
woods!  Oh, once in awhile, I still miss our home
in Pine Crest and the nice people who used to stop
by to visit.  They would always pet me on the head 
and tell me how cute I am.  It was nice there too.
But, if I get up in the window I can see the big water
and the seagulls flying by.   I can smell all those
flowers and those funny little gophers and see the
mountains.  It's pretty here.
Yup, I think I am getting to like it here.]]></content:encoded>

I wonder if it is kinda like a hair-do shop like when

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Here I was this morning, minding my own
little business, when Mommie and Daddy began 
moving everything out of the rrrvvv.....I mean
<I>EVERYTHING!</I>  They took all my food out 
and even our water dishes....and the powder room
went out the door, too!  Now, nothing they have done
has surprised me since they sold our other house...
BUT....I must say I was a bit astounded by this set
of circumstances.  They moved the table and the
chair too.
Then, this guy drove up with a van and Mommie
moved me and Mawsie too!  We got thrown in the 
big moving van....and there was our food and water
and our powder room!  Mawsie is a pretty good
escape artist though and she got through this
heavy curtain thing and so I did too.  At least there
were some windows there, and I could see my Mommie
and Daddy!!  I was thrown in jail for nuthin'!
NOTHING.... I tell ya!
Well, Mawsie said there had to be a reason for all of this.
She didn't get too upset...like always she had a bite to eat
then, found a place to make herself comfortable.
I ran back to the back of the van to see if there was a 
way out, but, there wasn't.  I didn't eat anything 'cuz I
thought I best save it for later on when I got really, really 
hungry....I might need it days from then.  Days?
Ohmicatwhiskers!  I was terrified!!!
Then, suddenly, there was Mommie again.  She opened 
the door and picked me up and put me back in the house.
OH NO!  MY FEET GOT WET!  
Mawsie walked in and she shook her feet off and had a bite to
eat and went and got comfortable.  She said,  "Might as well
lay down somewhere where it is dry, Stupid.  They cleaned
the carpet!"
Oh.
Well, that's a fine howdoyado.  Doesn't anyone care about
the condition of my dainty little feet?  And the fact that, I
am quite allergic to water?  In fact.....I HATE WATER!
Well, just so it doesn't happen again.
I'm glad I got my powder room back again, I'm gonna have
to use it after this ordeal!]]></content:encoded>

this dumb ol'  rrrvvv next week into our new house.
We will have a room all to ourselves!  Cool!
Mommie says the carpet is green like grass.  I wonder
if it will taste like grass?  Do ya suppose?  I ate some
once and gagged it back up so I will most likely leave
it alone.  Made my throat scatchy!
Ah-hhhh...it's gonna be nice to be able to stretch out
and run like the wind again....can't do it in this skinny 
rrrvvv.  My red light thingy doesn't show up much here 
either.  Mommie says it needs room to play.  So, I am
really looking forward to that again!  Ah, the joys of
living in a real house.

so, Mommie put another one in.  It sure is purr-dy.
I hope you like it.
It is actually kind of cold this morning, and boy, do
I feel good!  It has been too dang hot!  And, when you
wear a fur coat full time like I do, you really begin to
appreciate the cooler months more.  Mommie is  happy
too.  She has been looking like a bedraggled old dried up
yam.  Not a pretty site.  
She  always worries about her hands and says that they 
aren't pretty.   Well, I think they are!  They have the nicest
softest pets in the world in them.  And they give the best
cat backrubs anywhere.  They give me treats and catnip
and water and food.  Yup. she has mighty pretty hands.
Enjoy my music and if you have some time, get some 
popcorn and a soda pop and enjoy my video!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am almost three years old now.  I will be
an adult pretty soon.  I sure hope that doesn't
mean that I have to stop playing and having fun.
I will be twenty one.  Twenty one is old.
Really, really old.  I wonder if I have any wrinkles
underneath my fur like my Mommie does?  She 
is older than dirt.  She has wrinkles and her hair 
is grey.  I wonder if my hair will turn gray too?
I hope not.  I like my marblely colored hair.  I 
like to have fun and be silly.  I like to chase
rainbows and birds and butterflies...even if only
in my mind...since I can't go outdoors.  I like to
chase the red light thingy and and make a complete
idiot of myself, if I want to.  I don't think I want to 
be an adult.
I want to be a kitten forever!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy are going over to Helena
to buy our new house tomorrow!  I am so excited!
Onlyest thing is, I have to stay here alone with 
Mawse the Moose while they are gone.  Of course,
my people sister is going to keep an eye on us and
they always leave the air conditioners on for us...
but, I sure hate to stay alone with MaNasty Mawsie.
I think we have come to an understanding after about
a year and a half of her pounding my poor, fuzzy little
butt.  If she just leaves me alone, I won't knock her out!
After all this time, I found that she is almost afraid of me.
She should be.  Dynamite comes in small packages,
ya know!
Ta ta for now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>The other night, I made a big boo boo.
I was laying on the bed with Mommie and Mawsie
walked down the hall of the rrrvvv.  Without even
thinking, I made a sudden rush for the end of the bed,
and believe it or not, Mawsie ran down the hallway 
the other way!  That was pretty exciting!  But, afterwards.
I wondered what the dickens I did that for?  Was I crazy?
But, then I got to thinking about it and realized something 
here.  Mawsie was afraid of me....really truly, afraid of 
little ol' me.  and it gave me such a feeling of power!
Wow!  I am a tuff cat!  So, once in awhile, I have been 
testing the waters (hate that word!) here, and puffing up
a bit to see what she will do.    So, far, she hasn't pounded 
me lately, and THAT'S good.  I wonder if maybe someday
she will leave me alone?  I used to want to be friends, but,
now I don't even care.  She is too mean and a bully besides.
My Mommie is the only friend I need.
But, it's nice to know I am tuff.]]></content:encoded>

I am in BIG trouble now.  He read my diary....rather
my traitorous Mother read it to him.  I will not rub
on her leg at all today.  I thought she loved me.
I think I will hide most of the day, behind the big

it is wa-aaaay dark and Daddy is in bed.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Daddy has these stupid little whiskers on
his face.  They really don't look like they are of
much use, like mine.  Mine are long and smooth 
and sleek.  And they are a nice shiny white!  His
are short, stubby and grey and whitish.  Pretty
awful, if you ask me.  And what good are they?
They don't let him know how wide an opening is
or anything like that!  They just sit there on his  
face and look pitiful.  Poor Daddy.  What really
seems weird, is he gets out this little stick thingy
and scrapes those whiskers off!   Imagine!  Then,
he throws some icky smelling stuff on his face
and yells 'cuz it stings!  How smart is that?
Well, I guess if he let them grow out so he could
measure an opening so he could get his body through,
then he would have whiskers clear down to his ankles!
I'm not saying he's fat, mind you, but.....um-mmm,
okay, I'm saying he's fat.
(Don't tell on me!)
Whiskers are wasted on people.  But, Mommie thinks he's cute!]]></content:encoded>

it's cute!
Wha-aaat?
I am the one who is supposed to be cute around here!
Not some stupid car!
Humph, it is just a dumb black car and it doesn't even
have a top on it!  She said it is a convertible!  So?
What is that supposed to mean?  And why does she
consider it cute?
Cute is soft and furry, like me.
Not some dumb car.

Mommie says we got a house!  I don't know where
it is.  I can't see it from here, but, she said it is 
somewhere.   I wonder where it is?  She said it is
over by some big water somewhere.  I wonder if
there will be fishies there?  I like fish a lot!
Mommie said, we will have our own room.  Just
what I wanted!  A room of my own.  But, I have to
share it will Mawsie....maybe she will be nice over 
there.  Probably not.
Mommie said we will have our very own door so we
can go outside and have fun and be safe from critters.
I like that idea  and I hope we get our own tree, too.
I am thinking a nice tree, indoors, by the window.
Suppose we can have one of those?
I hope so.
Well, I will keep you posted on the news.
WE GOT A HOUSE!  No more rrrrvvv!  YAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy are looking for a new
house for me.  I am getting pretty excited 'cuz
I just don't much like living in an rrrrvvv.  It's
okay, I guess, and I know I shouldn't complain,
but, I <I>really, really, </i> am looking forward to
having a house again.  I know.  I was a homeless cat,
and I should be thankful for everything....even a
little shack....but, this rrrrvvvv is so small that my
sister, Mawsie, can catch me and pound me in three
seconds flat!  I hate it when that happens!
But, since they are looking for a house, there are a
few things I would like to put on my particular wish
list:
1.  A nice big tree inside.  Lots of limbs for climbing.
2.  An outdoor recreation area.
3.  A cat door for me and one for Mawsie.
4.  A great big sunny window.
5.   LOTS of hidey holes.
6.   Four bedrooms....one special one just for me!
7.   A private privy room.  
8.   Kitchen with easy access refrigerator.
9.   An outdoor fountain for drinking....creek or anything.
10.  A warm outbuilding for naps on nice days.

I don't want to appear greedy so I will end my list now.
I wish I could write so I could give this list to Mommie.
Hm-mmm....I wonder if Mawse can write?  She says she
can do <I>anything.</i>  She is such a smartypants!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>If you recall, I mentioned something about the 
thunder and lightning and Mr. God's trombones in
my last diary entry.....and how turribly noisy it was,
Well, believe me that was nuttin' huney!
Wow!  Last night on the 4th, we had the trombones 
and the whole darn orchestra!
There were big booms everywhere!  And to top it all 
off, there was lightning like I ain't never seen!  This
lightning had pretty colors to it and went up into the
sky instead of down to the ground!   Weird!
There was a whoopin' and a hollarin' and you would
have thought there was a full moon...people went nuts!
I was a quivering jelly mass by midnight.
At about 10:30 PM, the people across the road from us,
lit a huge fire!  The logs were as big as our trees on Pine
Crest when we lived there!  It was a monster fire!  Then, 
all of a sudden we heard a fire engine in the distance, and 
then, there it was, across the road, where the fire was! 
I don't think they liked that fire at all.  But. they did stay
a long time and watch the pretty lightning in the sky.
Mawse told me this morning that it wasn't lightning,
after all.  That it was some stuff called fireworks and it 
was supposed to look pretty and that people were just
celebrating being American.
I wonder if I am American?
Mawsie said that I am an American, and she said I can be
very proud of that.  She said she will write in her diary to
let me know why.
I also wonder why Mawsie is being so nice to me this morning?
<I>That's scary!</i>]]></content:encoded>

life!  Mommie had the screen door open and I was out
awhile a bit earlier.  I got scared and ran back inside.
Well, a little later on, feeling a bit braver, I snuck back
outside.  Mawsie did too.  Mommie didn't see either 
one of us go....and then suddenly, she looked and we
were outta here!
YUP....and not liking it one bit!
I saw this huge light thing come roaring out across the 
field and realized it was something Mommie was carrying.
It hit me in the face and she saw I was cornered by two
HUGE cats!  Really, really huge and Mean cats!
Okay, so the Siamese one wasn't that big.  Kinda small,
in fact.  And the black one wasn't that big either.
They were my people sister's cats and they were trying
to get a look at me outside , instead of inside the Rrrrvvv
window!
I was scared spitless!  And Mawsie, my hero sister, was
sitting a little ways away, laughing!  The big poop!
Mommie walked up and I made a serious run for the house.
I have never, ever ran that fast in my life!  
I do not like being outside.]]></content:encoded>

Honey Pie, You are the sugar at the bottom of my cup.
You are the golden sunshine on a cloudy day.
You make me laugh and smile with your sense of fun!
You are my first manx and you delight me in every way!
I wish your life had not been so hard when you lived with
those other people...but, I hope that life is good for you now.
Sunshine Girl, thank you for coming to me...for begging for a
few scraps of bread so I could fill your cup, too, with little
treats and lots of food.
If I would have known how very special you were, I would 
have stolen you sooner!  So, your Mommie is a cat burlgar

I thank heavens you are mine!  And I will try to make sure
every day of your life is good and perfect, just for you!
I love you, Dancer.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy drove <I>forever</i> in the rrrvvv
yesterday.  I hate it when that happens!  I was so scared!
We came to visit my Auntie Dee...she is a people aunt and
I like her very much.  She has pretty blue eyes like Mawsie.
She thinks I am cute....but, then that goes without saying.
Mommie and Daddy went to look at a house over here.  
It is pretty with a view of the mountains and Canyon Ferry.
Every window you look out has a view that would be just
wonderful to see out the window.  I guess it may be sold to
someone else, but, they might make an offer on it anyway.

Mommie said she is going to fix me and Mawsie up a pretty 
tree to put inside the house, just for us!  That would be
totally awesome!  And she said she would put in a kitty door 
too so we can go outside in an enclosed area to play!
Isn't Mommie nice?  There are wildflowers all over outside!
It smells like heaven out there!
I hope they get the house because I do not like living in this
rrrvvv thingy.  It is too noisy and too darn small!
And besides, it's too easy for me to get cornered by Mawsie!
She is the meanest sister in the world!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie went to town...she said she needed to
get a new mouse.  ?  Now, why would she want a mouse?
It has something to do with her laptop.  Hm-mmmm....
so she wants a mouse on her laptop.  I thought she
hated mice.  And I thought I was a pretty good laptop. 
I sure can't see her with a mouse on <I>her</i> laptop!
Snorkle, snort!  Ha!  That's a funny picture!  We would need
to scrape both her and the mouse off the ceiling!  Snicker!
Well, so she comes home with this little black thing that
does not in any way look or smell like any mice I have ever
seen.  It's a dumb plastic thingy and has Microsoft on it.
See...it doesn't even have mousecrosoft on it, so I know
she got the wrong thing!  She is so-ooo silly!
Anybody got any good mice for sale?  I might just get her
a <I>real </i> one and surprise her!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Well, I got into big trouble last night.
Mommie was playing with me and I growled
at her.  I don't know why?  I got into major
trouble for doing that.  She picked me up and 
put me on the floor and hissed at me!
I hope she knows I didn't mean to.  Then, she
said,  "NO!"  I hate that word.
I hope she knows I love her lots!  I am just so
stressed with all that is going on.  The big nosiy 
train scares me and the dogs scare me and I just
want to go home.  But, Mommie says we haven't 
even got a home now.
Wauggghhhhh.....poor me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Daddy moved our house on wheels yesterday.
There aren't three people children outside the door
anymore....it is much worse, I tell ya!
 The three people children have been replaced by
three fuzzy, little white doggy children   I wonder how 
they did that?  I didn't know that you could change them
into something else!!!  
I have decided to be very,very good, 'cuz I like being a cat.
I don't wanna be a dog!
And......there's more.....and it just keeps getting worse!
There's a monster like nothing I have ever seen!  It is HUGE!
It makes horrible sounds and screams like nothing else in
this world!  It has this black smoke stuff pouring out of it's
nose...and it bangs and clangs into other monsters and it
is the most scary thing I ever saw in my life!  It is just across 
the street from where Daddy parked our rrrvvv.    I hardly slept
a wink last night, patrolling the house to make sure my people
were safe.  But, what could I do with a monster like that?
I wanna go home!
Mommie keeps petting me and telling me not to worry so much,
but, I just can't help it.  She said trains don't move off those track
things and I am safe over here.  
Trains?  So that is what they are called?  I wish they weren't so big
and so noisy.....then I wouldn't be so scared.
Mommie said we are only going to be here for a few days.  That
we are puppy sitting for her friends.  Oh.....phew!
I feel so-oooo much better!  I thought those cute people kids
were gone forever!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Oboy!  I betcha you just missed me to pieces!
But, the good news is that, Mommie's laptop is on 
the way!  We will be back online for sure real soon!
I was so delighted to see that I was chosen as one
of the diary picks of the day!
I am ever so popular!  Am I not cute?  Mommie says so!
But, there are lots and lots of really cute cats on Catster.
Mommie likes to look at them and invite them to be our
friends.  We have LOTS of friends now, but, of course,we
will sure want to be friends with more kitties!  It will be
nice to have our laptop so Mommie can write to her hearts 
content.  (I think she is having withdrawals for sure!)
We are living in another area right now, in our rrrrvvv.
It is really neat out here with the other cats prowling about.
One of them came from my first house and she is a manx
too.  Her name is Shadow.  And Fastidious Bill lives here,
too.  They were after a mouse this morning and I was 
so-oooo jealous!  I wanted to go outside too!  but, I didn't
get to.  Mommie still won't let me out and I am not too
sure that I want to.
Our house in the rrrvvv is really, really small!  We are used
to a really big house!  But, we don't have to live here forever.
I think I will be wanting a house real soon!  Mawsie says we
will be going fishing too and that she likes to fish.  I have
never ever gone fishing.  I wonder if it is fun?  Mommie and
Daddy love to fish!!
Well, I just wanted to thank the team from Catster for picking 
me for the diary page!  Sometimes it is fun to be a Star!...even
for just one day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I am feeling kinda sad this morning.
Well, I want you to know I feel much, much better.
I don't have to take that nasty medicine any more.
I was tired of Mommie grabbing my face and forcing
my little mouth open and Daddy squirting that nasty,
yucky stuff in my mouth.  So, that is the good news.
But, today, we are leaving our pretty home.  It is the
only home I have ever had.  The people who had me
before did not want me to come inside, ever.  So, the
very first time I came in here, I was pretty scared.
Houses are almost as big as the outdoors, if you have
never been in one before.  And, I was pretty little then,
didn't weigh very much and Mawsie, my sister-to-be,
didn't like me, so I was terrified, at first!  
(She still doesn't like me....)  
But, it was so nice and warm in here; they adopted me 
in December and it was mighty cold!  And there was 
real food in here!  It smelled like Heaven in here and
there were people here that liked to pet cats!  PETS!
It was a dream come true for a little girl with no real
home.
So, I am feeling a bit sad.  But, I will still get my pets
and my food.  That's good.
But, I am going to miss all my little nooks and crannies
and my hidey spots....and mostly my window where I
watch the birdies daily.
Yup. it's been a good home.   Very good.
Sniff....

*Mommie's note:
As I typed this for Dancer, I saw a little tear in
her eye.  I will miss our home too.  Laughing at the 
antics of Dancer as she discovered what real love was
and real caring.  I will miss the yard critters and the 
warmth of our big beautiful home.  Winters, here, with
twinkling snow on the pines....and deer foraging a bite
to eat.  A moonlit night with snow sparkling like millions 
of diamonds.The spring time with all the little wild flowers
sent with love by the Creator.  The birds that chose 
to live here and raise their little amazing families.
Chipmunks, and cottontails, foxes, coyotes, even the 
bears that wandered through so seldom.  This was truly
a little bit of heaven and a haven for the critters we loved 
so much.  
Yeah, Dancin' Girl is right.  We will miss this place.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>FYI:
Mommie is putting this on several times today.
We feel it is very important for others to know.
Please tell all your friends who have fountains
and kitties!


Well, if you have been reading my diary, you
know I have been one sick little pussycat! 
I feel lots better 'cuz Mommie and Daddy have
taken such good care of me.
I wanted to share this info with you because maybe
some other kitty won't have to feel that rotten and
maybe even die from it.
I won't go into all the details of urinary tract infection,
but, it is not a fun thing to go through. You can look
up the info online if you want to.
Mommie had a pretty fountain in the kitchen, by the
big window that I like to hang out at. Since I was an
outdoor cat, I don't think too much of that bottled
water stuff she uses! Tastes terrible! Gimmee a nice
muddy bowl of rainwater, anytime! 
So, instead of drinking that nasty fresh water out
of the bowl, I have been drinking the fountain water.
Mommie would add fresh water to it and every now
and then, clean it out completely. HOWEVER...
we are pretty sure that it is the reason that I got so
sick! Mommie's sister's cat got the same thing....and
her cat was drinking from their fountain, too!!!
So, cats, if you have a fountain in your house, make
sure you just look at it or maybe wash your paws in
it, but, never, ever, EVER, take a drink from it!
I don't want you to be sick!
Purrs....headbonks and trills to you this wonderful day!]]></content:encoded>

a tad bit better.  I just still don't feel like silly little me,
yet.  
Mommie is not too happy with our doc-terror.  She
says he has not really given me the best care like she
thinks he should.  She is ready to change doc-terrors.
He didn't give me a blood test or anything to check for
the urinary tract problem.  The only reason he gave me
the anti-biotics is that my cousin cat had the same thing
and had the same symptoms.  Well, that is fine, but, we
still don't know if we are on the right track or not.
Mommie is P. O.' d!
I am, too!
Better news of the day!  Mommie put my poem video on
and so I have a new movie for you to watch.
Be sure to look!  Oh, and Mawsie has another one on too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I think Mommie is being sneaky this morning.
She is trying to figure out ways to make me drink
water, 'cuz I do not like her nice fresh water!  I like
good ol' yard puddle water.  That is how I was raised
and that is what I like!  We do not have any puddles
available in this house,  so that is the problem.
The doc-terror sent home this nasty milk stuff and
Ma & Pa are busy cramming it down my throat.
Something to do with a urinary tract infection....
now what the h-e-double-toothpicks is that?
But, actually, she gave me a pretty nice treat this 
morning.  I got some yummy soft food with some
of her nasty water mixed in it.  Hate to admit, but,
it tasted pretty durn good!  But, that fishy cod liver
oil cr*p, she put on my paw to lick off, didn't make 
my day!  
I don't know if she is trying to cure me or kill me!

Have you ever had a problem like mine?  It hurts!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Well, that was a fine howdoyado!  I didn't have 
to go to the doc-terror today, but, Mommie left the
house and was gone long enough to go to town.
I should have known something was up...but, being 
the trusting soul I am, I had no idea what was going on.
I was laying on a nice box, just being quiet, when Mommie
came over and threw a towel across my back.  
"What is this?"
Mommie muttered something to Daddy and he came over
with this white bottle thingy.  He pulled out this dropper
and it had a white milky stuff in it.  MILK?  I <I>love</i> milk!
But, when Mommie grabbed my lower face and squeezed 
my chops apart, I knew without a doubt, this was not going
to be a good thing.
It wasn't!
YUK!!!
That is the most vile tasting thing I have ever had in my 
mouth!  I escaped off the box and ran across the room to
have a sip of water to wash out my mouth...and grab a bite
of food to get that dirty rotten taste to go away.
"How could you do that to me?"
<U>"HOW?"</u>
Then I noticed that there was more of it in the bottle, as
she went across the room to put it in the cold box in the 
kitchen.  There may be more, but, I won't be taking it,
I can guarantee you that!
"What are you trying to do to me?"
"I could learn to unlike you, you know."
OH NO!
I heard her tell Daddy that it is for seven days, twice a
day.....TWICE A DAY FOR SEVEN DAYS!
Oh, hairballs, will I ever survive all that?
If I could only find a place to hide.  But, they know all
my hidey holes.
Anyone want to adopt me, like immediately?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie took me to the doc-terror the other
day and I got a shot that was supposed to make me
hurt less.  So, far, it has not helped much.  I think my
Mommie is really worried because I heard her talking 
to my people sister and she sounded like she was going
to cry.  When Mommie picks me up she is always so very 
careful.  She knows us Manx cats have back problems, so
she picks me up so my back is supported very well.  This
evening, she picked me up and I screamed, 'cuz it hurt!
I didn't mean to be a sissypants, but, I couldn't help it.
I haven't even wanted to play much. Mommie told my 
people sissy that it is just not like me to not want to play!
She said she sure wished cats could talk so I could tell
her exactly what is wrong.  Well, I hurt!  That's what is 
wrong.  I think I am going to have go back to the doc-terror
again and I am not happy about that!  But, it sure isn't much
fun to hurt all the time either.  
I am pretty sad too.  I hate to see Mommie worry and cry.
I wish I could talk.]]></content:encoded>

She says I walk like a tomboy cat!  Now, what does that
mean?  Is she making fun of me?  I think I walk cute.
I <I>AM</i>  cute!  Come on, Mom!
Okay, so I don't glide like some fancy schmancy high
falutin' cat, but, I don't want like a gorilla, either.
Mostly.

Do you like my cursor?  All of us have a different one.
Mawsie has a mouse, of course, 'cuz of her stupid name.
Sunni, (In Doggie Heaven)the dog, has a puppy and 
Stickers (In Kitty Heaven) has a sleeping kitty.

I think Mommie has fun here.  And I think she didn't
have enough toys when she was little.  But, now, she 
has a really big toy and loves to play with it every day!
I am glad.  I love my Mommie!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I have had one of the worst days of my little life.
Mawse and I had to go to the doc-terror!  I got shoved
into that metal wiry thingy and Mommie locked the door.
I was just caged like an animal, I tell you!  An animal!
Mawsie had to have her toenails trimmed....nice for my
safety, that's for sure!  But, the mean, rotten, no-good,
dirty, rattzel fratten doc-terror, got me out of the safety
of my nice cage...(I had grown rather attached to it by then)
and started poking and prodding on my cute little body!
I got something stuck in my tender ear, lights shone in
my beautiful green eyes, and other indignities....and then
he kept pushing on my sore back.  I didn't like it one bit!
It hurt!  Just like a doc-terror to find a sore spot and keep
pushing on it and saying,  "Does that hurt?"
"What is with that?  Of course it hurts you numb-skull, that's
why I am here and if you push there one more time I am 
going to show you the wild side of life!!!!!  Butthead!"
Mommie wouldn't let me bite him, or the nice nurse that
had a vise grip on my head.   %$#@&**^@!!!  Gr-rrrr...
And then to top off all this misery, I got a shot in my
'you know what' and it hurt, dangit!  And instead of holding
my paw when it happened, Mommie went around the corner
because she was turning green around the gills!  You would
have thought she was the one getting a shot in the aspirations!
Sheesh!
I have a hyper-something or other and it may or may not 
continue to bother me.  Well, it better not happen again or
this nice little kitty will be nice no longer.  I have my dignity, 
ya know.  To be treated like a second-class citizencat, is not
my idea of what life is all about.   Once again, no one asked 
me if I personally wanted to go to the doc-terror.  They just
go ahead with their own little plans and I am sick of it all!
No more nice cat for me!  
Doc-terrors, I hate 'em!]]></content:encoded>

from Catster!  Mommie and Daddy are moving into
the Rrrr-vvvv...and they need to get a laptop...
(I thought that is what I am for?)  so they can be

I am feeling so blue.  I hate to move from our nice

all the critters here, (except the coyotes!)
I don't wanna move, but, no one asked me!]]></content:encoded>

I think it is an important message for all you cats!
Just don't tell Mawsie!!!

If you are going to be busy this weekend and 
get out to enjoy the holiday , purr-lease just
remember to be very careful. There will be lots of
cars on the road and some people will be heavy on
the catnip....so you must look out for everything!
We don't get to go outside anymore, but, for those
of you who do, BE CAREFUL. We want to see you
back here, safe and sound!
Have a safe and fun holiday weekend.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>TGIF!
Mommie just filled our dish with nice fresh food.
It smells so good and fresh and makes my whiskers
wiggle and my mouth drool with delight!
For those of you who have thought all these years
that TGIF means 'THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY', I have
some well kept secret information from the Cat World.
I know it is against the cat rules to disclose this type of
information, but, I am feeling a bit daring this morning.
And, besides it will benefit all cats everywhere.
TGIF means........ready.........<U>'Thank God It's Food.'</u>
Cats are not pigs like dogs, they are cats.  But, we all 
like to feel secure.  Feeling secure means having a full
cat dish.  When we see the bottom of the bowl, it's
PANIC TIME!  I was an outdoor cat before and there never
was a dish for food....just some scraps on the ground.
Then, I entered the Other World of Indoor Cats and found
a whole new world of delight!  FULL DISHES OF FOOD!
And that is when I learned that TGIF means Thank God
It's Food!
I hope this helps....please DO NOT  disclose where you got
this information as I could be in trouble with the Cat police.
And, remember to go fill your cat's dish......now.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I was sitting by the sliding glass door this
morning watching all the birds.  Some of them
are real pretty!  They are kinda silly this time 
of year and like to fly about and dance funny
dances.  There are all kinds of birds, nuthatches,
American Golden Finch, (My personal favorite,
(*lick, *lick*...) Mountain Bluebirds, woodpeckers,
(OUCH!)  White Crested Sparrows,  Purple Finches
and many others.
Well, this morning, one of the birds got all excited 
and flew right towards me!!!  Wow...opportunity
knocks!  I opened my mouth <I>real wide</i> and
said "Ah-hhh..."  (licking my chops,) creating a big,
gaping hole and got ready for a bite to eat...forgettig 
the dang screen door was there!  So much for opportunity!

"Ma-aaaa....got any catfood?"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I have over 500 friends now!  MUCH more than my
sister Mawse!  I am ever so much more popular!  But,
there's a reason for that...I am MUCH nicer....and MUCH
cuter!  And, I have a better way with words and everybody
likes me.  I am humble and sweet too.  Mawsie is a grump!
Mawse says,  "Am not!"
"Am too!"
"I am not and never have been!"
"Are too!  Always have been!", I said.
"NOT!"
"Then why, pray tell, do you beat me up all the time?"
"Cuz you're stupid!" Mawsie says with a cat sneer.
"Am NOT!"
Mawsie just smiled and walked away.  Then, when I wasn't 
looking, she came back and scared me with a hiss!
"SEE?"  I told you you are a grump!" and I ran away to
tell Mommie!
"Ma-aaaaaa!!!!  Mawsie is picking on me!  Hel-lllp!!"

"Settle down, you, two!  I am tired of your constant
bickering and banshee screams!  Can't the two of you 
get along for five minutes?"  Mommie said.
We could.  But, we don't want to.  We like to fight.
It's in the Book!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Kitties just got a way about them.  They are
a bunch of thieves.....not by choice...it just happens.
They steal hearts.  And they are good at it.

Mommie's friend called the other day, and he had to
put his friend, Levi down.  He was very very sick and
the kindest thing to do, was to let him go.  This man is
64 years old and yet, when he lost his friend, he cried
for two days straight.  It was a terrible loss.  Levi used
to walk around the block with him and share the morning
with him while he had his coffee.  Mommie felt so bad 
for her friend.  

They were talking on the phone last night and I heard
her say something about me.  I didn't catch what the
conversation was, even though I perked up and tried 
to hear.  But, then, she told Daddy that her friend, Dave,
sure would like to have that silly cat.  Who Me?  I guess
that he was hoping they would want only one cat while
they traveled in the RV and he would be glad to take
that 'boxing cat'.  Yup, that be me.
Hey, although he is a very nice man, I don't wanna go 
anywhere!  But, Mommie told him there are lots of cats
at the shelter that need homes.
So, hopefully, he will find a new buddy.  And a scared little
cat will be lucky enough to have a new home.
I can understand why he would want preshus little me,...
but, ain't gonna happen!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We only have nine more days to live in our
house.  This is the only house I have ever lived
in.  Before I didn't have a house.  I will miss my
house very much.  
Mommie is kinda sad.  Her and Daddy designed 
their home and they love it a lot.  It is very big 
with two stories and a great big shop area that 
all the guys love.  I like it too, cause I can go out 
and pretend that I am hunting like I used to do!  
I always had to live outdoors before.  Nobody 
loved me enough to let me inside and pet me and 
feed me.  Did I mention that I love my Mommie and
Daddy too?  I do.
All my rooms are big and open and there is nice soft
carpet all over!  There are nice big windows that any
cat would love to sit by and soak up the sun.  There's
a big cold box that Mommie gets treats out of for us.
I stood in front of it one time when Mommie opened 
the door.  It was really cool there...wonder if she will
open it up for me today?  It is supposed to be nearly
90 degrees!  That would feel good!
The beds are soft and warm and Mommie lets me
get on the bed if I want.  It is never, ever cold in here
like it was outside.  My feet stay warm and I am never,
ever wet!  I like that a lot!  There are lots of hidey holes
here too, where I can get away from Mawse when she
is feeling ornery.  There are all kinds of birds outside
my big window and sometimes they fly right towards me.
And, sometimes there are cottontails out there...they 
really make my tail twitch!
Yup, I love my house.  and I am sure gonna miss it.  
I wonder if we will ever have another house again?  
Mommie say we will live in the RV and I do not want to.
But, I want to be where they are, so I will go anyway.
Oh, well....]]></content:encoded>

Po-oooor, Daddy didn't catch an ugly fish.
They are so-ooo ugly, I don't know why he
would want one anyway!  He caught a big
surgeon fish...I wonder if they are the doctor
fish of the waterworld?
"Oh....."
Mawsie just told me they are called STURGEON,
not surgeon.  Well, shoot, I didn't know.
Anyway, we went in the rrrrvvvv....and I just 
hate to go in that noisy thing!  But, very surprisingly,
Mawsie was quite nice to me.  We even laid on the bed 
together and she didn't snarl at me once!
It was so darn hot there....I thought I was gonna
turn into a melted blob of fur.  Mommie kept turning
on this big noisy air thingy and although I didn't much 
like the noise,  it got really cool inside when she did that.  
She told me she didn't want her babies to suffer from the
heat.  She's a nice Mommie!
Then, we had to come home because the people who are
going to buy our house were coming in from Washington.
They are sure nice.  The lady thought I was just darling!
She has such good taste!  
Well, Mommie said that she has to get busy, but, I just
wanted to let you know I am home!
Purr-rrr...I love home.  It's the best place in the world!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Oh, shucks.  Today is the day we head down the
road in that big rrrrvvvv  thingy..the house on wheels.
I do not like the house on wheels.  It is big and noisy
and besides Mawse is going with us and she is so-ooo
mean!  Daddy wants to catch a paddlefish....I have never 
seen one of those.  Mawsie says they are really big and
that they love to eat cats with no tails.  Little cats with
marble colored hair and green eyes.   <I>Nice and tender and 
young.....like me.</i>
I DON'T WANNA GO!!!  I AM SCARED!!!
And the rrrvvv is small and Mawsie likes to corner me and 
pick on me and I can't get away from her.  And she always
takes the big bed and the best spots in there.  I hate the rrrvvv.
Almost as much as I hate Mawsie.
I have said my prayers every night, praying for a nice sister,
but, Mawse is still here....every morning I jump out of bed 
and look....and there she is.  Still here.  
Well, I will just hide under the bed. 
Maybe when they leave the fishing hole, they will forget
Mawsie and leave the meanie there!
I sure hope so.
See ya in a few days.....if I survive all this.]]></content:encoded>

including Bill, who had the duty of yard patrol.  He's 
a darn good cat and takes his job quite seriously.
Bill is a fine American cat, black, long and sleek and
very fastidious!
So, he is, as I said, doing his yard patrol and he sees his
Pa go into the old shed and follows him in.  Bill sees his
dad use the outdoor catbox.....and then he just walked 
away!  He didn't even bury it!  Egads, what the heck is 
that?  Are people so untidy that they just leave it?
Oh,..... NO!  So, Bill, being the terribly fastidious cat that he is,
gave his dad the most digusted look he could muster, 
and then proceeded to bury the puddle.  All the while 
he is burying,  he is shooting his father the most nasty 
looks he can muster on his rather plain face!
Disgusting!!!!  People are just <I>digusting!</i>
Why it took Bill nearly 15 minutes for that nasty job!
Yup, Bill is mighty serious about his patrolling job.
And, at the next family meeting, he plans to put in his
2  Â˘  worth!
Good boy, Bill!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I was sitting on the chair by the computer
this morning, minding my own beeswax, and 
Mean Mawsie came over and stared staring at
me.  
"Go away," I said.
"No, Sissypants..." she said nastily.
"I'll tell Mom!"
"Go ahead, Rat face, chicken, boo-boo."
"You are so-oooo mean," I said.
"Am not,"  Mawse said.
"Am too!"
"Am not and I am bigger than you and smarter."
"Am not, you're just fat!  And mean,"  I said.
"Am not.  And I want that chair!"
"No."
"Yes."
"NO-OOOOOO!"  I'll tell Mommie!"
"You lily livered chicken spit!"
"Am not!"
"Uh-huh."
"Uh-uh....and I was here first."
"SO?"  Mawsie said being all hissy and nasty like
she always is.
She lunged for me and I screamed, "Ma-aaaaaa!"
"Tattletail, tattletail, hanging on the bull's tail!"
Mommie told Mawsie to leave me alone.
I wish I was an only cat-child. 
But, I got to keep my chair!  
"Nan ner naner na-aaa-ner!"
(Gotta rub it in a bit, ya know!)  Ha!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>This morning I jumped onto my cat scratcher,
foregoing the antique couch, (my personal favorite)
because Mommie happened to be watching me.  I got
on it and began my little ritual....and nothing happened!
Well, shoot, I forgot that yesterday Mommie and Daddy
grabbed me and clipped my newgrown nails off!!  Of all
the nerve!  Didn't they happen to think I might need them?
Or want them?  Or like the looks of them?  Or doesn't my
opinion count for anything here?  Am I just a second rate
cat-izen?    I am going to hide those dang things somewhere
where they will never, ever find them again!  They will
just think that they got packed somewhere in the mess of
moving!  Yup, that's just what I'ma gonna do! 
How can a cat live without nails to annilate and shred
couches and chairs old enough to be in the dump?
Hecky darn!  I want my nails back!]]></content:encoded>

for her so I decided to amuse her a bit!  Evey time
she walked by a box or sumpin, I jumped up and 
scared the socks off'n her!  Her and Daddy laughed
pretty good...you know, that silly sound people 
humans make.  I have tried and tried to do that but,
all it does is come out a tangled up purr!
They have moved so much out of this house, that
I don't know where anything is...and neither do they!
This moving stuff is for the birds....but, I think even
birds wouldn't want to do that...they would be chicken!
Ha ha ha ahahhaaa-ha!  Snort!  Get it?  Birds?  Chicken?
Dang, I am funny!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie brought some new cat food home again
today!  She always opens up the sack and lets us have
a bite or two, to see if we like it!  YUM!  It was good stuff!
She got it at PetSmart and it is called Nutro Natural Choice.
I like it a LOT!
I gobbled it up and looked for more.  Mawsie gobbles 
everything, 'cuz she's such a pig, as evidenced by her 
expanding waistline!  I guess Mommie got it because 
Mawse is always getting sick and spitting out her food 
on the carpet.  She is hoping that this kind might make
it so Mawse doesn't decorate the floor with hard pieces 
of hacked up catfood!  (Told ya she's a pig!)
She is so-oooo unclassy! 
I can say anything on here, cuz she can't read it and
then beat the sh...er-rrr, socks off of me!
Anyway, it's some good stuff!!!]]></content:encoded>

she was on the computer.  That used to be Mawsie's
job.  I love to tick her off!  Mawsie came down and 
took one look, and headed back upstairs!  Ha hahaha!!!
When Mommie got up this morning at 5:30, she couldn't
find me.  She went to the window where I usually am,
and I wasn't there!  She checked the patio window.  Nope!
The couch, the chairs, and blanket where I sleep 
sometimes.  Nope!
She looked in the bathroom, and under the table on the 
kitchen chairs....nope!  My food dish and the bedroom.
Nope.
She was calling my name....and I sat there watching her,
wondering what all the fuss was about?  I knew where I
was and I could see her just fine!  Okay, so I didn't run out
and say,  "Here I am!!!!"  Do I ever?
Nope!
It was kind of fun watching her panic!]]></content:encoded>

Now, is that a nice thing to say?
And, what are brains?
I feel so stupid 'cuz I don't know what brains are?
Maybe I could get some somewhere.

There is a bunny that visits nearly every morning!
Mommie opens the patio door blinds and there he is!
He is usually munching on the birdseed that she puts
out for the birds!  Silly rabbit!  He's not a bird!
I was studying on him this morning and I think he must
be a manx rabbit, because he has lo-ooong back legs
like me!   And, some of his fur is like mine too, with the
soft grey and brown colors that I have!
But, he must have a little mule in him too, cuz he has
the longest ears!!!  I bet he can hear a mile away!
He doesn't much like it when I stare at him.  I think
he knows what I am thinking.....which is YUM!
I wonder if rabbit is good?
Does it taste like chicken?]]></content:encoded>

I got a rosette today from Abby!  Oh, I feel so special!
She said I am cute!  Shucks...Thanks Abby!
Well, everybody else but Mawse thinks I am cute.
Are sisters just like that?  I wish my sister would be
nice, but, I don't think that is gonna happen!
Mean Mawsie!

Mommie gave me a piece of salmon from her plate
for dinner tonight.  YUK!  I didn't eat it!  Wonder how
they eat all that weird stuff?  She seems to think I should
like that kinda stuff, but, I don't!
She won't let me eat what I really like, dead birds and mice
and nice juicy things like that!  She says I am a civilized cat
now...whatever that means?   Hey, ya eat what ya can when
you don't have people who don't feed ya!  And the people
who used to own me didn't think I should have any food!
So mice and birds it was!  They are mighty tasty if you should
ever want to try one.  Feathers are bad though and so is mouse 
fuzz.  Catches in your teeth and sort of makes ya gag.

*Mommie's note:  "Okay, okay, enough of the graphic 
description...I just ate, you know!"

Ha ha ha...snorkle, snort!  Mommie has a queasy tummy!

I jumped up into the air, and did a sideways dance

My dear sweet, Mudder...went to a garage sale
this morning.  She didn't come home with a garage,
but, I wish she would have....instead of what she did!
I was sitting there under her feet, minding my own
business, when suddenly this white tornado, whirly,
gurly thing, flew over the top of my head!  I took off
like a shot!  A cannon shot!   I was gone!
Mommie laid it on the floor and asked me why ever
was I so afraid of it?  Ah, shoot!  It twern't nothin'
but, a stupid dress!  Now, why did she go and do 
that?  I feel so stupid now.  Life sucks!
But, then, after I got used to looking at it, she decided
that I needed to <I>wear </i> it!
NOT!
That was a battle, but, as you can see by my new pictures,
Mom won.  (I hate it when that happens!)
So there I am, looking mighty ignorant in my new dress.
And if you laugh, I will find out where you live and track you
down and bite you.
And that's a promise!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Waaauuuuggghhh!  I am not too happy today!  Mommie called me
A DICK HEAD!  Last night we were playing and having fun!  At precisely
8 P.M. we have a lot of fun together!  She gets out the little red light
and I chase after it!  It is really fast...faster than the speed of Me, I'm
ashamed to say.  But, Mommie says it is good exercise and besides
a whole lot of fun!
Waaauuuugggghhh...but, she did!  She called me A DICK HEAD!
I had been waiting to play.  I am a very timely cat and I know when 
8 P.M. is and here it was, nearly 8:30 P.M. and still no light.  I sat
there, patiently, and then I started staring at her.  That bugs her.
Well, what am I <I>supposed</i> to do, give her a call on the phone?
"Mommie, it's time to play red light.  Let's do it!"
NOT!  So, after about 15 minutes of futile staring she got up and walked
across the room.  NOW!  I grabbed her by the ankle and held on!
STOP!  IT'S TIME TO PLAY!!!   NOW!!!
She shook me off her leg and that's when she called me A DICK HEAD!
<I>WAAAAUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!</i>
I cried and cried.  My own sweet Mommie! 
Mawsie looked at me and said, "Now, what is the matter, stupid?"
I told her Mommie called me a dick head.
She started laughing and rolling on the floor!
She laughed so hard her tail curled!
She said,  "You are a number one idiot!
I said,  "Why?"
She said, "Mommie didn't say you are A DICK HEAD....Mommie said you are <u>ADDICTED!</U>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie said she must e pretty easily amused!
She likes to do our diaries on Catster!  She said it is
a lot of fun!  Okay, so that shows her mentality!
Or maybe it's just her age!  At her age, maybe she
just doesn't have anything better to do!  After all,
(Don't tell her I told you...) she's 434 in dog and cat
years!  She's decrepid!  She has all this gray hair and
walks sort of like a big monkey....all bent over when 
her back is bothering her.  Now, why ever, doesn't
she get down on all fours like me?  For darn sure it
would feel lots better on her old back!  I won't say 
a word about her wrinkles as she is kinda vain.
I think she must be darn near as old as those ancient,
mummified cats they found in Egypt!  That's OLD!
Poor Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

Mommie said it wasn't necessary to write in my
diary again, that I was just being a nuisance.
I wonder if that is bad?
The way she said it, I just don't think it is wonderful,
but, ya never know.  I just wanted to say that Mawse
was bad again today and when she tried to kill me,
we woke Mommie up from her nap.  She sounded like
a banshee!  Not Mawsie, Mommie did!  And that's funny
'cuz she said I screamed like a banshee...well, so did she!
I didn't know that little old ladies had great big voices,
especially <I>that</i> loud!

for me and I wanted to share it with you!



                                dancer

             cherri petty shinabergerÂŠ

she walks by me
marking me as her personal propety
and i can't help but reach down
to touch her soft, soft fur.
she peers up at me,
a small lion roaring and presents me 
with a headbutt or two
and she has this look
in her beautiful hazel eyes,
a look of....what?
love?
(i hope)
contentment?
(i think so) 
and i look at her with
my own contentment
and i purr too.
contentment of having her
in my life.
does she bring me flowers
or diamonds and gold?
no.
but, she gives me
more exquisite gifts
that i can't buy anywhere else.
she gives me peace
just by touching her.
she makes me smile and laugh sometimes.
she gives me a place to spend
my love and hugs and kisses.
she's my dancin' girl
my little pearl.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>There are two black critters outside.  One is very
small and the other one is bigger.  They belong to the 
people who are here visiting.  I don't like them black things.
Mommie called them D-O-G-S.
Well, I was napping and minding my own business,
when Daddy and his friend came back home from town.
The door opened and that little wiggley one came running
into MY house!
Imagine!
It ran over like a trout out of water, wiggling and dancing
over to MY Mommie!
MY MOMMIE!
I didn't like that very much at all.
In fact, I just darn near hated it!
Boy, it's a good thing that Mawsie wasn't down here.
Mawsie is tough....tougher than any stoopid dog!
She woulda ripped him from stem to stern.
What is a stem?
For that matter, what is a stern?
All I know is that that D-O-G was in dire danger and wasn't
smart enough to know it.
I think dogs are S-T-O-O-P-I-D.
And what is more...my Mommie oohed and aahed and
had the gall to think it was cute!
Some Mom's are also stoopid.
I didn't necessarily mean her.....but,.....
next time that thing comes into my house, I will show
it what cute is!  I will rip it from....here to eternity!
So there.
I am the one who's cute here.  And she better not forget it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Last night when I went to bed, I said my usual
prayers like a good kitty cat.  I asked for the usual,
a nice fat mouse, lots of food, some catnip, if I could,
please, and then I asked for something very special.
I asked God if he could please help all the homeless
kitties and dogs out there.  I know what it is like to 
be hungry and cold.  Although I did have a home,
they really didn't take very good care of me and my 
sister and brother cats.  And that is why I feel so very
lucky to live here...even if I do have to live with Mawse,
who hates me so much.
I asked if He could find homes for them and make sure 
that they got lots of food and most of all, love.  Cause 
without love, it is still a cold, lonely world.
You can help by going to your local shelter and
give just one cat or one dog a home.  Please.
It's very important and you'll be glad you did.]]></content:encoded>

when they leave.  But, they did leave Mawse upstairs 
so I am still in one piece!
I know I am getting kinda pushy, about all of this....
I am hoping that you will take a peek at KINK,
my choice for KItty of the Week on my page.
Kink needs a home and I hired myself to be his
personal helper.  Now, you can help too.
Think of all the people you know who might 
need something warm to cuddle up with, or a nice
soft, furry critter to talk to.  That' what is wonderful
about pets, they keep those silly people from talking
to themselves!!!  And this is something that will make
you feel very good and happy inside.  And you will 
make someone else happy too!!
Please, please help to find Kink a home.  He is a pretty 
manx cat with soft black fur and needs a people.  The 
info you need is on the right on my page.
Trills to you....]]></content:encoded>

a wonderful service going here!
They let people put on cats and dogs that are adoptable!
Isn't that just the nicest thing?
I just love Catster!  They are special!
This week I chose for my friend, a kitty that needs a home!
His name is KINK!  And the very best part is that he is a
manx, just like me!  Manx cats are rumored to be the last 
critter on the Ark and when they slammed the door shut,
the kitty got his tail slammed in the door and lost it!
Well, I dunno if that is true or not, but, we sure ain't got 
much of a tail, if any!  
Mommie says I walk like a tomboy...whatever that is.
Is she making fun of me?
Anyway, if you are starved for affection, I know somecat
that needs a home....and you can see the link on the right.
So take a look.  You'll be glad you did...and so will KINK!
And......THANKS CATSTER!  WE LOVE YA!
And if you don't want a manx...(Now who wouldn't?)
there are lots of kitties who would love a home.
Please help.
Trills and purrs and headbutts to all!]]></content:encoded>

tasty things from the old days, and suddenly I looked and
there was a nice fat, yummy looking bird.  Mmmmm...
looked mighty tasty to me!  I sat with my whiskers
twitching, twittering a bit, thinking how nice he was,
when Mommie came over to the window and saw what 
I was looking at!  She opened the door and went out!
But, she closed the door too fast for me to make my exit!
Dang!
She went over and picked the little bird up and sat it in
the sunshine.    She came back in with a smile on her face
and told Daddy how soft it was and that it didn't even make
a sound!  She sure was grinning!  Let me out there and I will
show her what a normal person or cat ought to do!
Hey, she missed a nice breakfast!
And so did I!
Well, she kept up her Mommie worry thing and went out
again with some soft bread.
The bird flew away!  Just like that!  
Mighty strange, people are...she came back in smiling
and so happy!  Heck, her breakfast just flew away and she
is happy!
Mighty strange....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie is wearing her new slippers this morning.
I wonder why they wear slippers?
Okay, so I don't see any hair on her feet, 'cept a couple
of funny looking hairs on her big toes.  Geeze, that looks
stupid!  I mean, I have hair on my toes,  but, I got lots 
and it looks soft and furry, not springy and scrawny, like
her's is!  So maybe they are to keep warm?
Speaking of springy, maybe that is why she is wearing
them...maybe they give her a little boost to her bounce...
she certainly could use one at her age!  (snorkle, snirk!)
I have noticed that she really doesn't have much of a
push off when she gets up!  Just sorta groans and moans
and cracks and pops when she gets up....not like me!  I roar 
to life, ready to go!  Plenty of spring in this cat!  Maybe she
needs that cuz she is so old!
I guess the slippers are okay for human critters, but, I just
wonder if she really needs to wear ones with cherries or
kitties and stupid little things like that?
People are strange.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>It has been snowing all day long!  I managed to just
get cuddled up with Mommie on the couch when she woke
up and got up.  What is with her?  It is just the purr-fect day
for laying on the couch. then, she left and came back shortly
and acted like she didn't even leave me alone.  I don't like to
be alone, hasn't she figured that one out yet?
The snow is coming down in big furry white flakes, as big as
my paw!    And it is super wet!  I am so-ooo glad I am no
longer a wild outdoor cat!  Whew!  I am not fond of wet, 
either!
Every now and again I hear a big thump! * !  I was wondering 
what it was when I heard Mommie say to Dad that the snow is
sure coming off the roof with a big plop!  So, now I don't have
to worry about that!  (I thought there was something terrible
out there, trying to get inside!)  But, it's just snow!
I sure wish Mommie would come back and lay down on the
couch...I feel like cuddlin' a little bit.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie and Daddy left for the holiday.  I sure miss
having them home.  They always leave Mawse  upstairs
otherwise she likes to beat me up!  And so I am down
here all day by myself.  I always sit by the door when 
they leave and try to look as pitiful as possible, but,
it just doesn't seem to work very good.  I need to practice 
on that a bit. I wish Mawse would be nice cuz I would sure 
like the company, but, it just isn't ever going to happen!
Hates me, hates me not, hates me, hates me not, hates me.
But, they're home now!  I am so happy!  I smell kitties on
her hands and I wish she would have brought them home
to see and play with!  I like kitties!
Mommie likes kitties and I bet if Daddy would let her, she
would bring a whole house full home!
But, I don't think he would want that as much as she would!
But, I gotta go now, cuz it is my favorite time of the day.
Mommie gets the red light thingy out and I race like the
wind and try my darnest to catch it!
Tonight's the night!
I have my fast sneakers on tonight!
I am Super Cat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I decided to choose Teddy aka Tah as my very
Special Friend of the Week.  He is very kind to his kitten,
TK.  TK's name means Teddy's Kitten!  My sister hates me 
and I wish Teddy could teach her not to be so grouchy 
and mean to me!  I would love to have a pal to cuddle up
with and talk to on sad days.  Or happy days to share all the 
good stuff with.  Someone who is warm and soft and above
all, n-i-c-e.
Sometimes I get so scared and I wish my big sister was there
for me...to make me feel better and let me know everything 
is gonna be okay.  I dunno...but, some days I think she just 
hates the fact that I was born.
I wish someday that Mommie would get a kitten and name it
DK for Dancer's Kitten.
I would love it all to pieces.  I would let it eat from the bowl 
first and have the softest spot on the couch.  I would hold it
when it was afraid and sing soft purry lullabyes to it.
But, I don't have a kitty and Mawsie hates me.  Shucks.

Maybe Teddy would adopt me!!!]]></content:encoded>

Course for Cats --  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie got this from a friend and wanted to share it with all you Catsters!


Course for Cats -- Humans 101 
 
1. Introduction: Why Do We Need Humans?

So you've decided to get yourself a human being. In doing so, you've joined the millions of other cats who have acquired these strange and often frustrating creatures.  There will be any number of times, during the course of your association with humans, when you will wonder why you have bothered to grace them with your presence.

What's so great about humans anyway?  Why not just hang around with other cats?  Our greatest philosophers have struggled with this question for centuries, but the answer is actually rather simple: THEY HAVE OPPOSABLE THUMBS.

This makes them the perfect tools for such tasks as opening doors, getting the lids off of cat food cans, changing television stations, and other activities that we, despite our other obvious advantages, find difficult to do ourselves. True, chimps, orangutans, and lemurs also have opposable thumbs, but they are nowhere near as easy to train.


2.  How and When to Get Your Human's Attention

Humans often erroneously assume that there are other, more important activities than taking care of your immediate needs, such as conducting business, spending time with their families, or even sleeping.

Though this is dreadfully inconvenient, you can make this work to your advantage by pestering your human at the moment it is the busiest. It is usually so flustered that it will do whatever you want it to do, just to get you out of its hair. Not coincidentally, human teenagers follow this same practice.

Here are some tried and true methods of getting your human to do what you want:

Sitting on paper:  An oldie but a goodie. If a human has paper in front of it, chances are good it assumes the paper is more important than you. It will often offer you a snack to lure you away. Establish your supremacy over this wood pulp product at every opportunity. This practice also works well with computer keyboards, remote controls, car keys, and small children.

Waking your human at odd hours: A cat's "golden time" is between 3:30 and 4:30 in the morning. If you paw at your human's sleeping face during this time, you have a better than even chance that it will get up and, in an incoherent haze, do exactly what you want. You may actually have to scratch deep sleepers to get their attention; remember to vary the scratch site to keep the human from getting suspicious.


3. Punishing Your Human Being

Sometimes, despite your best training efforts, your human will stubbornly resist bending to your whim. In these extreme circumstances, you may have to punish your human.  Obvious punishments, such as scratching furniture or eating household plants, are likely to backfire; the unsophisticated humans are likely to misinterpret the activities and then try to discipline YOU.  Instead, we offer these subtle but nonetheless effective alternatives:

* Use the cat box during an important formal dinner.

* Stare impassively at your human while it is attempting a romantic interlude.

* Stand over an important piece of electronic equipment and feign a hairball attack.

* After your human has watched a particularly disturbing horror film, stand by the hall closet and then slowly back away, hissing and yowling.

* While your human is sleeping, lie on its face.


4. Rewarding Your Human: Should Your Gift Be Still Alive?

The cat world is divided over the etiquette of presenting humans with the thoughtful gift of a recently disemboweled animal. Some believe that humans prefer these gifts already dead, while others maintain that humans enjoy a slowly expiring cricket or rodent just as much as we do, given their jumpy and playful movements in picking the creatures up after they've been presented.

After much consideration of the human psyche, we recommend the following: cold-blooded animals (large insects, frogs, lizards, garden snakes, and the occasional earthworm) should be presented dead, while warm-blooded animals (birds, rodents, your neighbor's Pomeranian) are better still living.  When you see the expression on your human's face, you'll know it's worth it.


5. How Long Should You Keep Your Human?

You are obligated to your human for only one of your lives.  The other eight are up to you.  We recommend mixing and matching, though in the end, most humans (at least the ones that are worth living with) are pretty much the same.  But what do you expect?  They're humans, after all.  Opposable thumbs will take you only so far!]]></content:encoded>

She got up and moseyed in to her litter box and I was
so-ooo excited to see her, after a long night by my little
self!  Oh, joy!  Company!
She came back out and got a cup of coffe and started 
across the room to head upstairs.  Upstairs?
Hey, she didn't even say 'hi'!
I grabbed her by the ankle and tried to hold her back
and I heard her giggle...'Hey, I am serious here!'
I grabbed her about four times and then I saw it was
totally futile, that she was going upstairs, no matter how
I felt about it!
So. I bit her!
She continued up the stairs, still laughing.
I did not see anything funny about it.
She's a turkey butt!]]></content:encoded>

happy for her friend who lives in  hairy tents.  Now, why
ever would she want a friend to do that?  It's beyond me!
I would not want to live in a hairy tent.  But, then I have
plenty of hair to keep me warm and fuzzy.  Most of the 
people I know would sneeze their heads off if they lived in 
a hairy tent...allergies, ya know.  So I went and asked my
sister Mawse why Mom was happy about that.
Mawse said, "You are beyond STOO-OOOOPID!"
"Wha-aaaa....?"
"Listen, Stupid, what Mom said was, the lady got an
INHERITANCE,  she doesn't live in hairy tents!!!"

"Oh."

"So what is an inheritance?"

Mawsie just stuck her dumb nose up in the air and left.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>People are so funny!  It just goes to show you that
people never listen!
The other day, early in the morning, I jumped up on
Mommie's bed.  I greeted her with my usual great respect, 
saying, "Muth-rr-rr-rrr."  She said, "Well, for goodness sake, 
Dancer, you can talk!"
Of course, I can talk!  I have learned that word since I 
moved in here over a year ago!  See what I mean about
people not listening?
And another thing,  Mawse always calls me stupid.  Well,

that shows who's the smart one around here!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I have been trying to pull a big trick on Mommie
this morning.  I laid on my back and played dead and
when she came over, I said, "Meor-april Fool!"
She just looked at me like I was nuts!
Mawse, being ever so nasty, as usual, said, "You are
the stupidest cat I have ever known."
"Why?"
She said, "Because April Fool's was <I>yesterday</i>, idiot!"
"Oh."
She said, "It does NOT last all month long."
"Oh."
She sneered her mean cat sneer and walked away with an
evil grin.
Well, dang, I liked April Fool and I thought I could do this 
all month long!
"Shucks!"
<I>Now, what can I do for excitement?"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I was going about my business, patroling the 
frontroom when I heard this very small whisper.
"Dancer...."
I was just in the middle of a step, and I turned 
around and ran to Mommie's bedroom.
I jumped up with a friendly greeting, just a small trill
to say, "Whatcha need, Mommie?"
She hugged and kissed me and told me I am such a smart
little girl.  
Later on I heard her ask Daddy what I was doing when she
called my name.  He said he didn't hear her call.
"Well," she said, "I just barely whispered her name."
Daddy told her I had one foot in the air and suddenly 
I just turned completely around and ran for the door
of the bedroom.  He thought it was kinda odd.
Well, what is the matter with him?  Doesn't he have
ears for heaven's sake?  That is what they are for!!!
I asked Mawsie about it and she told me once again, 
how very stupid I am....that people can't hear all the
things that cats hear!
I didn't know that!
Mawse said, "You're stupid!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not either..."
"Are too."

"I hate Mawsie!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I feel so incredibly lazy today!  I laid on Mommie's lap
for over half an hour while she brushed me with a soft brush.
I really like it when she does that!  But, when I got my belly
brushed, that was the end of that!  
ENOUGH!
I do not like my tummy touched.
What is with this woman?  She knows the rules!
Okay, so she has her own rules....they DO NOT coincide with
mine!  She tells me I am the little cat and she is the big cat.
I really can't say as how I like the sound of that either!
She tries to tell me that when I am being a butthead.
Like when I am chewing on the brush while she is trying to
make me pretty!  Or when I go back to my old wild ways and
get this wild crazy look in my eyes and try to bite.
I don't bite too hard.  I will go along with some of the rules,
kinda.  A little bit.
But, not when it comes to my tummy!!!!]]></content:encoded>

a problem with that...to do it, she needs more pictures.  And, I am

and all good cats Must go to church.  She said that I should
go to the <U>round church</u> because that way the devil couldn't

Although I want to be a good cat, there is a problem here.
I don't know what a church is.  Is it something like cheese?
Sounds pretty good to me.    And I don't know what a Sunday is
either.  Mommie says a sundae is made with ice cream....I know
that I like ice cream, but, only just a little!
I am just wondering if Mawsie is pulling my leg, again?
I don't know what the devil is either, but, I think Mawsie is going
to get it for teasing me again.
She thinks I am so stupid!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie is at it again!  She drives a cat nuts!  She has
this stupid thingy that looks like a small box and she points
it at me and then, everything goes totally weird around here!
I can't see and there are little stars and fuzzy wild thingys 
that float in the air and my eyes!  I can't stand it!  There is 
a blinding flash of sunlight that makes me dizzy!
I hate it when that happens!
Then, she oohs and aahs and says how very cute I am. 
Well, that's true enough, but, why is it necessary to make
me feel like I am on LSD or some of that weird drug stuff?
I feel like some mangy old dog has drug me through the
pig sty and curled my whiskers with a hot curling iron.
Ma-aaaa.....STOP THAT!
No wonder Mawse likes to hide upstairs.
@#*^%$@#!!!!
Dang it!
There are some things about being a citified cat that 
I just don't like at all.  
And that dang box is one of them!
But, Mommie says everyone will sure enjoy my new 
pictures and to stop my whining!
Be sure to look.
Ain't I cute?]]></content:encoded>

join a group called Terrific Tabbies!
I feel like a princess!  I am ever more popular
than my sister Mawse.  No one has asked <I>her </i> to
join any groups!  Ha ha!
I feel terrible.  Mommie said it isn't nice to be that way.
That being popular means nothing, if you are not a nice
cat.   She also said that if you are pretty on the outside and 
ugly on the inside, that it is not a good thing.  I thought about
all that and decided that I would much rather be pretty on 
the inside,  so, I am very sorry for what I said.
I take it all back!
Mawsie, I am sorry.  I love you.
Mawsie just gave me a dirty look!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I am just one lucky cat!  I got to be diary pick of the day!
Now, don't I just feel really special?
I do!
I even got a rosette from Taffy Morgana!!!
Thanks so very very much!
This has been one fine day!  The sun was shining on the snow
and the sky was azure blue!  Mother Nature rolled out the
'white carpet' the other day to herald Spring!  It sure did
look pretty!
Mommie said it gave her fish a drink, the ones in the
Yellowstone River and all the lakes that were pretty thirsty!
I didn't know a lake gets thirsty...did you?  It would seem that
they wouldn't cuz they are full of water....well, I dunno. 
Sometimes I am just so stupid...ask Mawsie.  She'll sure agree
to that!
But, the exciting part was when my Mom came home from 
town.  She had three different sacks of cat food.  She opened 
every one of them and put a few pieces on the floor to see which
one I liked the best.  I liked them all!!!  I just feel so rich when 
she does that.  That's cuz I was an outdoor cat and didn't even
know what cat food was!
But, now I sure do!!!
And I love it!
Ain't life good?

No...Life is GREAT!

Thanks Catster and all the nice people who asked to be my 
friends.  I love everybody today!!!
That means YOU!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Just watched the sun go ker-plop! in the sky!  It sure gets 
dark quick!  Ya outta see Mommie at night when it gets dark!
She is a riot!  Stumbles around like a flea bitten old dog...er,
(Did I say that?)  Well, she is awfully old!  After all she is 434
years old in cat and dog years!  But, honest to Catwhiskers,
she can't see nuthin' in the dark!  I have to wake up in the middle 
of the night just to make sure she gets to the bathroom without 
breaking her silly, old neck!  She's FUNNY!
People are really weird...can't hear too good, can't see too good,
no fur and they make this dogbreath sound that sounds a bit like
chickens getting their heads cut off!  (I think they call it laughing!)
Some days I am just so glad to be a cat.  
Especially when it gets dark out.
And then the most magical thing happens at night at about 8 PM.
I sit and stare at Mommie for awhile and pretty soon that teeny
tiny red light appears on the rug!  It just goes crazy on the floor!
I chase it till my sides are heaving and I have to catch a breath!
I heard her say something to Dad about, that Dancer needs a bit
of exercise now that she has gained a few pounds.....well, in that
case, Mommie and Daddy should take a few minutes and chase it
too!  They aren't exactly scrawny little critters themselves!
Dad has to wear suspenders and Mommie wears them stretchy 
pants all the time!  
Anyway, it is just a blast chasing that little light!  Darnedest
thing, though...I have yet to catch it!
Maybe tomorrow.....]]></content:encoded>

I am!  It is so much fun to be picked by Catster!  It just makes
you feel special all over!
Mommie told the lady who is buying our house about Catster
and even sent our sites over.  She loves cats, just like Mommie
does!  She is a smart lady.  And nice.
Mawse is going to be so extra hateful to me today!  She thinks
she is the star in this family.  Ha!
We woke up to several inches of snow this morning...br-rrr.
I am glad I didn't sneak out when it was like this!  I would look like
an Abominable Cat!  Or a Catsquash!  
Today will be a good day to
just take it nice and easy...purr a little...get my pets...and love.
I want to take this moment to thank all our friends at Catster
for being the nice people they are...and of course the sponsors
who make it all possible....now I will get off my podium and go
look for Mommie.  I think I need a hug!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>While the lady was is buying our house was here
yesterday, I managed to sneak outside.  It was such a
lovely day, with the wind blowing in some nice yummy
smells.  
I do not have any idea why I did that?  I tried to run for
the door when Ma and Pa went in and I missed it!  So there
I was, all by my little self andI was scared out of my wits!

I had forgotten how really terrible it is out there with all the
weird noises and strange goings on!  
"Ma-aaaaaa!!!!  Help!  Ma-aaaaa!!!!"
Nobody heard me.
"MA-AAAAAA-AAAAAAA!"
At long last she came to the door.  I ran so fast that I nearly
collided with the door as she opened it!  
I am nice and fat and juicy now and there are lots of things
out there that want a fat little snack.
Me!
So, I will never, ever do that again!
EVER!
I even had my tail fluffed up to make me look tough, but,
not having much for a tail, it didn't have much of an effect!
I was scared spitless!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am not a happy cat right now!  My very own Mommie
and Daddy took me to the doc-terror and it scared me half
to death!  First there was the ride over there...that in itself is
enough to make a cat's skin crawl to Texas!  I DO NOT LIKE
cars!!!  And the road is all bumpy and rocky and it is enough
to make you throw up the good stuff!
Then, Daddy carried me in inside that cagey thing that I hate 
with a passion!  It is cold, uncomfortable and it is heck on ones
dignity to be thrown in a cage and treated like some sub-form
of catdom.  
I am still angry!
The lady there was so sweet and talked baby talk and I thought 
she was really nice til she grabbed my head and face in her hand.
She squished my upper lip for gosh sake's!  Then, she tucked my 
body in close to her body and grabbed my front leg!
I knew instantly that I had been had!
The doc-terror, picked up some vile looking metal thingy's
and took my poor little paw in his hand and CHOPPED OFF MY
BEAUTIFUL FINGERNAILS!
<u>CALL THE COPS!</u>
Not only did they hack off my front nails, then, then he had the
utter gall to grab my hind foot and whack off my pretty back 
toenails too!!!
sob......
That was a sob, not S. O. B. although I am thinking the other term
fits quite nicely here.
What kind of Mother would allow that kind of treatment to her
very own child????
I will be having nightmares tonight, I am sure.
And then, to totally take what little bit of dignity I had left,
I went over and jumped on the scratching pad, and tried to fix 
my nails.  It didn't work!
They even took that little pleasure away from me.
I am planning to pout for quite awhile.
The only thing that made it a bit better, was when Mawsie came 
downstairs,  Mommie grabbed her and trimmed <I>her</i> toenails too!!!!
Heh, heh, heh.....at least that made me smile!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Aw, Phooey!  
It was so close yesterday that I could 
just feel it.  Warm and wonderful and a soft dancing breeze
foretelling of flowers and birds and butterflies, dancing
like silly little schoolgirls.
There was a warmth, emanating from the ground...like sweet
baked cinnamon rolls, fresh from the oven.  
There were songs in the air, old-time tunes that sang from 
golden memories of yesteryear's.
I felt kittenish and dizzy with the delight of the day.
There were slight wisps of green in the fields, like hidden
treasures to seek and touch.  The newness of life.
I saw a field of kaleidoscope colored calves, laughing and daring 
to run away from their mother's protection!  
Flowers shook their heads and tried futilely to poke their heads
through the hard, unmoving ground.  I could almost smell their
fragrance and feel their impatience.
For I was impatient too.
I wanted this promise of Spring to flower in abundance
and shake off the old winter coat.
And this morning, I awoke to snow!
Dang!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My half sister Shadow used to live outdoors like me.
She is a manx also and is a rich beautiful black.  Mommie caught her 
and she now lives with my people sister's family.  She is nice and fat
now and is very happy with her people.  She has two kids to play with
(Which is good sometimes, and sometimes I think I would Be CRAZY!)
But, she seems to like them, most of the time.
Anyway, she just had babies.  Five nice fat babies.  I am so glad they won't have to live outdoors and be hungry all the time like Shadow and I were.
Two of the kitties are manx and there are two whitish ones and three backs.
Mommie is so excited!  She said this makes her a great grandmother cat.
She now has grandkitties!
She hasn't seen them yet, but, knowing her, it's a good thing or she would want to bring them home!  She really likes cats!  But, there is already one 
too many cats living here with my mean ol' sister cat, Mawse.
I wonder if we could trade her for one small <I> nice </i> kitten?
That would be great!  
Hm-mmm....I'll have to ask Mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am just pooped!  Mommie and Daddy have had company for almost 
two weeks!  Try entertaining four people for 24 hours a day, yourself
and see how hard it is!  I am one tired cat!
I have to be on my best behavior too, and that's not easy!
Plus I had to be extra darling because that's my job.
I roll over and look real precious and they just feel obligated to pet 
my little tummy.  And that drives me nuts, 'cuz I really don't like
my little round tummy petted to begin with!  YUK!
I managed to bite the nice lady a little bit on one hand, and for 
some reason she laughed at me!  I was serious!  But, I did really like 
her very much...she's nice.  I was sorry I bit her.
The worst thing about it all, was they had a really fast critter with
them that got in the house once or twice.  She was black and white and
Mawsie said she was a dog.  I don't think I like dogs.  They don't smell
like cats and they have fleas...although I don't think this one had fleas.
I am all petted out and rather tired and now I can sit anywhere I want 
to again, without worrying about someone sitting on me, or that awful
dog critter getting in MY house!
So, I think I will just go and take a nap...and purr to my heart's content.]]></content:encoded>

Mom says it is her granddaughter.  Her name is Tiffy!
She is really pretty with long dark hair and her skin is so soft and creamy pink!
She keeps bugging me, but, I kinda like it!  I think it would be fun to own one of those, 'cuz they like to play a lot!
She is nice and warm to cuddle with on the couch.  I like to perch my little self on the top of her leg and sit there and have her pet me.  She has nice hands,
always so soft and gentle.  I like that!
I wonder if we can keep her?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>First I want to say, "Meowry Christmouse!"
I finally allowed Mommie to take a picture of me
for the Christmas parade.  I hate to have my picture
taken, almost as much as Mommie does.  But, I thought
I would make some points here and let her do her thing.
Well, everything was going fine until she decided that I 
needed my nails trimmed.  I am a wild animal for gosh
sakes!  I do not like to have my nails trimmed!  She 
knew I was wild when she brought me into this family
and I have done my best to adapt to her sometimes
idiotic ways!  But, when it comes to trimming my precious
nails....I DO NOT WANT THEM TRIMMED!
What is with that woman?  Why does she insist on doing
that?  I get really, really mad and she laughs at me, but,
then, pretty soon she is mad too.  I lost about 6 nails
in this battle and I am not a happy catster!
So, I suppose I will get a lump of coal for Christmas.
I don't even care.  I just want my nails back.
Phooey on her.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie has been doing it again...taking pictures!
I was sitting in the window this morning and she got
a picture of me sitting on the sunny window ledge. 
It was such a beautiful morning.  The snow was all sparkly
and it looked like tiny diamonds whirling about!
She thought I didn't know she was going to take a picture,
but, I heard her moving about very quietly.  She didn't
see me peek out to see what she was doing, but, I thought,
just this one time, I would humor her.  She is so silly with
that camera thingy.  At least this time she didn't use the
fire flashy thing on it.  I hate that thing!  It blinds me.
Mostly that is why I stayed behind the curtain!  
So, she got her picture and I didn't get blinded!
If you want to see the picture it is above..
Ain't I sumpin'?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I think I don't remember what Christmas is, if I ever
had one of those.  Mommie says I had one last year because 
that is about the time I came to live here.  I love it here!
I love the food!
I love the warmth!
I love my soft bed!
I love cat food!
I love Mommie!
I love Daddy!
I don't ever want to be outside in the cold again!
But, about Christmas...isn't that when Mommie gets
really weird and brings a tree in and puts packaged stuff 
under it and threatens my little fuzzy butt when I chew on them?
Oh, gads, I am going to have to <I>behave!</i>  I hate it when 
that happens!  Mawsie and me just got our buns chewed for
fighting again.  I went and hid behind the couch and she said,
"Don't think I don't know where you're at!  Smarty Pants!
You are in trouble too!"  (Well, that didn't work!)
So, about Christmas...I just can't keep my mind on anything
tonight.  It was that wonderful day when Mommie bought me all 
those special presents and some catnip too.  I was all skinny
then and looked like a toothpick.  Now I am nice and round...
really really round.  I am so-oooo round that she bought Mawse
and me some diet cat food!  I don't know why I am getting so fluffy.
(Nicer word than fat, huh?)  I only eat a little bite here and a little 
bite there.  I am a dainty eater.    I am not a pig like Mawsie.  She
weighs as much as a house!  Ha! Mawse Hawse!!!
(I did not say that.  You can't say I said that.  If you say I said
that, I will deny it.)   Forever.  Mawsie will pound me good.
Well, anyway, about Christmas, I am really looking forward
to it...even if I can't remember much about it.  
I must make a list of things I want and leave it out for Mommie to
see.  First on the list will be one less sister cat.
We'll figure it out from there.
Purrs.....]]></content:encoded>

I wanted to share this with you, because Mommie and I 
liked it so very much.
One of their FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) was,
Is anything in this world guaranteed?
And this is the part Mommie and I liked so very much:
The answer was:
 
Yes, the only guarantee we have in this life is unconditional love from a cat.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie got this from her friend, Merrilee.  She thought
it was funny!  Then, she had to go and add her own comment
at the bottom of the page.  Personally, I don't think that's funny
or true.  Tsk!!!

CAT PHYSICS
Presented by the Institute of Theoretical & Applied Cat Physics

1. Law of Cat Inertia
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force, such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

2. Law of Cat Motion
A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

3. Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

4. Law of Cat Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, all heat flows to the cat.

5. Law of Cat Stretching
A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

6. Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.

7. Law of Cat Elongation
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any countertop  that has anything remotely interesting on it.

8. Law of Cat Acceleration
A cat will accelerate at a constant speed, until he gets good and ready to stop.

9. Law of Dinner Table Attendance
Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

10. Law of Rug Configuration
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.

11. Law of Obedience Resistance
A cat's resistance varies in inverse proportion to a human's desire for her to do something.

12. First Law of Energy Conservation
Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will therefore use as little energy as possible.

13. Second Law of Energy Conservation
Cats also know that energy can only be stored by a lot of napping.

14. Law of Refrigerator Observation
If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

15. Law of Electric Blanket Attraction
Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into bed at the speed of light.

16. Law of Random Comfort Seeking
A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room.

17. Law of Bag / Box Occupancy
All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond.

18. Law of Cat Embarrassment
A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to her embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.

19. Law of Milk Consumption
A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can.

20. Law of Furniture Replacement
A cats desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture.

21. Law of Cat Landing
A cat will always land in the softest place possible.

22. Law of Fluid Displacement
A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed.

23. Law of Cat Disinterest
A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him.

24. Law of Pill Rejection
Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity.

25. Law of Cat Composition
A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn't Matter.

26. Law of Selective Listening
Although a cat can hear a can of tuna being opened a mile away, she can't hear a simple command three feet away.

27. Law of Equidistant Separation
All cats in a given room will locate at points equidistant from each other, and equidistant from the centre of the room.

28. Law of Cat Invisibility
Cats think that if they can't see you, then you can't see them.

29. Law of Space-Time Continuum
Given enough time, a cat will land in just about any space.

30. Law of Concentration of Mass
A cat's mass increases in direct proportion to the comfort of the lap she occupies.

31. Law of Cat Probability (Uncertainty Principle)
It is not possible to predict where a cat actually is, only the probability of where she "might" be.

32. Law of Cat Obedience
As yet undiscovered.  (Especially by Dancin' Girl!!!)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We got a big pile of snow last night!  It is so pretty!
And so darn cold!  I think I don't like snow.  
I saw the wild cat, my sister that Mommie feeds this morning.
Mommie had taken food out early for her so she could
eat when she came down.  I felt sorry for her, cuz the 
snow was pretty deep on her.  Mommie says she is looking
much better, she is not so skinny.  I don't know why the
neighbor people don't feed her much.  I know I sure didn't
like living there.  I was always cold and hungry.  Mommie
said if she could just catch the wild cat, she would find a 
nice warm home for her.  But, every time she goes out,
the stupid cat runs away!   It was easy to catch me!  
I know a good thing when I see it!  I get lots of food and
LOTS of pets now and I just love it!  Mommie was worried 
that the cat is probably very cold being outdoors like that
and I think she will try to fix up a little house for her.
Mommie is so nice.  I love her and she loves me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>We have been really busy around here, but 
I wanted to let you know what is going on with 
the little wild kitty, my sister.  As I mentioned,
Mommie caught her and took her to live out in
the country with my human sister and her family.
They have two little girls.
She is really a lucky cat....I don't have any little
girls here.  Anyway, she has a name now and it is
Shadow.  She is getting nice and round...filling
out from having good food all the time.  She loves
her new home and her new people.  She didn't quite
know what to think of it at first and all she would do
is go hide outdoors.  But, when one of the people
showed up, she would rememer how nice those 
hands were and how good it felt to have a rub on
the head and she would come out of her hidey hole.
Mommie said she ate like a little pig at first...I wonder
how a little pig eats....does anyone know?
She finally ventured into the house one day and took
a peek...and it scared her!  She had never been inside 
a house before and it was sure a busy place!  She 
wasn't too sure she liked it and went back out right
away.  But, now she likes to go in and visit where
the nice warm hugs are and the busy little girls
can hold and love her.  I guess she has decided it
is a nice place to be...and she has even gotten to 
sleep on the bed!  Every one in there seems to love
her a lot...and she is very happy.
Yup, Shadow and I are very lucky cats.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My Mommie has been feeding about 6 cats that come to 
Mom's picnic.  I guess the neighbor's don't feel it is necessary
to feed their outdoor cats...so Mommie does it.
Thank goodness she does, otherwise I wouldn't have a nice
warm home with lots of food!  I was one of those little cats
myself and last year in December, Mommie caught me and
she brought me in.  I wasn't too happy about that at the time,
but boy I am one happy girl now!!
Well, my black Manx sister is a lot like me.  She loves to be
petted and loved.  I was like that too.  I didn't know whether 
I would rather have some food or a nice rub on the head,
and believe me, when you are as hungry as I was, it was a 
hard decision.  But, boy did she have a nice rubbing hand!
So the other day, like I was saying, the little black Manx kitty
came to the house to eat.  And for the first time, she came to
Mommie and wanted one of those good rubs!  So Mommie
rubbed her good and talked real sweetly with her.  
The next day, she did the same thing and Mommie put her in
that awful cat cage thingy.  But, I knew that it was a good thing.
Black Kitty didn't know that and she was afraid like I was.
Mommie called my human sister Shelle and told her that she
caught Black Kitty and did she still want to give her a home?
She did and they took her out there yesterday.  They have two
of those small human people there and so she will get a lot of
attention!  They just loved her!!!
She is pretty skinny, but I know she will be fat and sassy after
living there for awhile.
I am so-oooo happy for her!
Now, let's see, we need homes for about five more.
Any takers?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My Mommie is the nicest lady in the whole world!
She noticed a cat outside last week and so she took some
food out for it.  Mom says it looks anorexic.  Really skinny
and it was really super hungry.  So since she started feeding 
it, there are others joining the neighborhood picnic.
I am wondering if she is thinking about adopting them too. 
She might not know this, but they are my brother's and
sisters.  I am so excited!  There is one black manx who
doesn't have a tail either, like me.  And this all black one...
she is the skinny one.  There is a black and white one and a 
calico like me.  Then there is a pink one...okay, so it is light 
orange and a multi-colored one with blacks and white and grey.
Mommie thinks she is pretty.  All in all, there are six cats now.
Daddy says....NO.
I think he knows Mommie and that if she could, she would 
adopt all of them.
I heard Mommie call the lady up the hill where I used to
live and ask if the cats were hers?  Naturally they are.
Mommie knew that but she wanted to find out if she fed
them at all.  The lady says she does, but I know it isn't very
much because I was hungry all the time.  I got a couple of 
mouthfuls every once in awhile, but my poor little tummy
just hurt all the time.  I am so happy I live here now.  But, I
do feel sorry for my sisters and brothers.  Mommie took a 
bunch of leftover stuff out and a pan of catfood today. 
They are so thankful for a nice pan of food and plenty to go 
around.  She fills the dish three times a dy to make sure all of 
them get food.
Mommie is planning to get a couple of them to give to my
human sister.  The lady said it would be okay.  But, they are
pretty scared so they will need to wait awhile.  At least some
of them will find homes.  Mommie said the lady has a new 
bunch of kitties...I guess they don't believe in birth control
up there either.  

I love my Mommie.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie was really upset today.  She let Mawsie out 
for awhile, which she very seldom does.  Daddy was out
there too so she thought it was okay to let her out.
Daddy came back in and asked if Mawse was in yet,
and she told him she was still outside.
So, she went outdoors and looked but didn't see her
anywhere.  She walked all around and hollared for her.

I was settling in pretty nice about then thinking that I
just might have the couch and chairs and the catbox
and everything for myself!  Now, that didn't sound
too bad to me.

But, some lady came to visit and stayed awhile and after 
she left they went back out and looked for Mawse.  They 
hollared and called and walked around everywhere!

Yup, no big, mean sister to pound on me, get the dish of
water all to myself, the whole pile of catfood in the dish
and Mommie's bed!!!  Wow!

Mommie looked upstairs in all the bedrooms and the shop,
and still no Mawse!  She was telling Dad that she sure hoped
a coyote or a bear or a cougar or and eagle didn't get her.

Hm-mmm, all of Mommie's hugs and kisses and her lap
all to my own!!!  Yeow!!!

She went out again and bellared and hollared for Mawsie
and she still wasn't there....and then she started to cry.
Oh-oooo, I hate for Mommie to cry.
I hope they find her.
I would miss her, I really would.
Daddy said he would check upstairs again and so he went 
up to look.  
Sure enough....there was Mawse, chillin' under the bed!
Mommie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  
I do.

Booo hooo-ooooooo!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie has had her share of computer troubles
for the last month or two.  She is totally sick of computers!
Does anyone else feel this way?
She said she thinks the computer guy is sick of looking
at her face and would do nearly anything to get rid of her.
He finally took a comuter he had on hand and fixed it up 
with everything she wanted and gave it to her!  Of course
she had to trade in her other computers and a couple of 
hundred bucks + !  But she seems to be quite happy this
morning, checking her sites and having fun with it all.
And the best news is, she can finally help me with my diary!
I am sure <I>everyone</i> missed me!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I want to thank all the nice kitties and Catster 
for thinking of me on my special day! Wow!  Birthdays
are lots of fun!
I got a couple of new toys and best of all, Mommie got
me a new shoestring, my favorite toy in the whole world!
She saved it for last and I was so excited I was just 
dancin'! Mawse gave me a nice soft toy and Daddy gave me 
a feathery one with catnip!
Then, to add to all this excitement, Mommie gave me some 
tasty treats to eat....I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!
Being a house cat is the best in the world!

I need to say I am sorry to a couple of cats who wrote.  
Mommie had to get another computer and today is the first
time she was able to get on Catster.  She was sure disgusted. 
So she will try to get the mails and invites to be friends too.
And A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO CATSTER for making my day so very
special!  They are the greatest...well, next to Mommie and Daddy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie told Daddy is will be my birthday tomorrow.
I must be stupid as I really don't know what a birthday is.
I went to ask Mawsie and she said I am really stupid.
But, then Mawse always says that.  She said it is the
day that I was born.  So, I asked her "Is that an important
day?"  She said that it is a terrible day for her.  Well, <I>that</i>
wasn't nice!  So then I asked what is gonna happen?  She said 
I am so stupid that probably nothing will happen but that
on <I>her </i> birthday, Mommie usually gives her something
good to eat and maybe a nice gift.
A GIFT?
I wonder what it will be?
Something special to eat?
Heck, after living outdoors for all those months, <I>everything</i>
is special to eat here!!!
Well, all of this info is certainly wonderful news!  It has got
me dancing for sure!  I wonder what I will get?
A gift....a special day just for me!!!  
I just can't wait!]]></content:encoded>

I can really get her when she leaves.  I just sit close to the 
door and look really sad.  I know she feels guilty, so why 
does she leave anyway?  I guess I'll have to work on that
one some more.
I sure wish I knew what frivolous is....it makes me silly

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I have found that I have magical powers!  I am a 
Super Cat!  The other night I jumped up on the bed with
Mommie and she started that old stuff of rubbing my
little soft belly.  Now, she does that for her very own
pleasure, not mine!  She likes it 'cuz it is so soft there,
but I just don't like it much at all!  So I decided, enough
of that!  I kicked her fingers away from my tummy and
did a little roll and got my head down into position, so
she could rub me on the head!  Now that is the bestest in 
the world!  Pur-rrrrr....rrrr.....
Oh, I was in Heaven!  Lovely!  More!  Yes-ssss...purr....
I was in total bliss!
Suddenly my purrer just got to working overtime and
it went into Super Purr at an astounding  rate!  It was 
SUPER PURR!!!  I sounded a bit like an SST...
(super sonic transport) with a new twist...SSP or better
known in cat circles as SUPER SONIC PURR!!!
I was in overdrive!  I was purring so hard my body went
into spasms of joy!  I was making so dang much noise,
I couldn't go to sleep!  Okay, enough of that...I rolled 
over and promptly fell off the bed as I oftentimes do.
I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!
I am never too sure if Mommie pushed me or what.
I think she did 'cuz I heard her laughing as I left the room.
Dirty dog.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Poor old Mommie.  Her back has been out...I don't
know where it went, but that's what she said.  She is
walking kinda funny, all bent over and looking kinda
grouchy.  She hasn't been doing much, just laying about
and acting like a cat....sleeping a lot.  I really feel sorry 
for her and I wish there was something a little cat like me
could do to help, but I don't know what it would be.
She gets kinda grouchy sometimes with Daddy....I guess
'cuz it hurts so much and she is a typical female...she just
wants to be babied and maybe waited on hand and foot.
Okay, maybe just a nice bubblebath might help her attitude.
I would get one for her, but I absolutely hate water!!!  YUK!
Well, one good thing about it is that she is never grouchy
with me....mostly.  She just thinks I am too adorable for
words and I can't help but agree with her.  Besides, I amuse
her and make her giggle a lot!  She tells me all the time how 
cute I am.  
It's sure fun being me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Daddy brought the mail in today.  Mommie said,
"This is gonna be fun!  It's the new cat toy!!"
Cat Toy?  Oh boy!  I perked right up and paid attenshun!
I didn't see any new fuzzy things or anything that smelled 
like catnip...what is the deal?  There just isn't any new toy
that I can see.
I went back and laid down on the rug and suddenly there
was this teeny, tiny red spot on the floor!  It moved!
I jumped up and ran after it...boy can that thing move!
I raced it across the carpet in the frontroom...whew!
I couldn't catch it!  It disappeared.
Then, suddenly, there it was again!
I grabbed for it and it flew back and forth...I moved my
head back and forth, back and forth....gads, did I get dizzy!
Then, it was on my paw!  I reached to bite it....and it moved!
Dang thing is <I>FAST!</I>  I am one fast kitty, but I just couldn't
catch that thing, no way!
Then, it sneaked up on me between my paws and I inched 
forward...in fact I inched all the way on my belly, 
across the stoopid frontroom...one paw at a time!
Then it was gone again....what is this?
Finally, I saw it under the chair, so I creepd over there
very quietly....and pounced!  It moved...I moved.
It ran across the room again and I ran like the wind and
almost caught it....then it chickened out and left.
Mommie left the room too.
Hey, that's no fair!  
 
I sure wish she would tell me what the new cat toy is...I would
love to have something new to play with.
Oh well, maybe that red thing will show up again.  Right now I 
am too tired to care.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Catster has the new little form that my Mommie 
filled out to letcha know a little about me.  I guess
it is called "Kitty Complextion."  My complexshun
is white and brown and black, sorta marblelly, kinda,
with a pink tongue and toes mixed with black.

Oh!  I guess they didn't mean that!  Silly me!
Now, I unnerstand!
Mommie says I am the EXTREME in everything,
except <I>smart,</i> and she's not so sure about that!
She is right about everything else!
I am EXTREMELY <u>CUTE!</U>
I am EXTREMELY <u>DARLING</U>
<i>EXTREMELY</I> <U>WUNNERFUL!!!</U>
EXTREMELY <u>SWEET</U>....(sometimes.)
And, don't forget, <U>EXTREMELY BEE-OO-TI-FUL!</U>

Some of the other traits mentioned were whether I am
active...tsk...that goes without saying.  Am I active?
Does Super Cat wear a cape?
Intelligent?  <I>What the dickens does that mean?</i>
Curious!!!!  Of course I am curious...it's my job.
Friendly???  Naturally.  I am so friendly that there is some
talk that I should be the first lady President someday.
Of what, I don't know.  
Vocal?  I talk a little.  To bugs and my ball once in awhile.
I even chitter a greeting to Mommie in the morning.
So, all in all, you can see that I am one fine cat.
I have a great complexshun.  I got a bit of sun the other
day and I look like a million!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>There's this little kitty on Catster that wears
fancy little dresses!  Her name is Sammie and she is
from S.C.  She wears some pretty fancy clothes.
Mommie thinks she is so-ooo cute!
Cute?  Try dressing me in something like that
and I will show you some red white and blue!
Red (your BLOOD) white (my TEETH) blue, (BRUISES!)
I am a wild cat for goodness sake!  
I will come unpuckered and one of us will be hanging
from the ceiling!  And it won't be me!  
So, a fancy little pink dress....I think not!
She has tried to trim my toenails before and
it just didn't happen.  I like being a plain Jane cat.
Okay, so the other day she pulled a fast one on me
while I was laying there purring and almost asleep 
on her lap and she managed to trim three of my
beautiful nails!  Disgusting!  What is that all about?
Sammie has this really fancy wardrobe...all kinds
of pretty dresses....and she looks just fine in them.
But, Not for me!!!  Mommie says I am just jealous,
but, I am not!  It is too hot for my fur coat let alone
having to wear clothes on top of it!!!  
Okay, so I am a tiny bit jealous...especially when 
Mommie oohs and aahs over Sammie's darling
photos.
Am I not cute too?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>My people sister Ra Shelle is looking for a new
cat/kitten for her home.  I am hiding out about now,
cuz they have some of those little critters at home...
people children.  I, myself, am not crazy about little
people children...although they are awfully cute.
But, you see, they have these grabby hands...and it
sure makes me nervous!
Maybe it would be fun to have a people kid.  They
hold you a lot...sometimes they smell like milk,
they laugh and get silly...like me.  They are so-ooo
busy!  I like to play with them when they come over
to visit.  It was sure a lot of fun last time they were 
here.  There's that one called Nicci.  She just can't
leave me alone, cuz I am so cute.  She is really cute
too, but she doesn't have any nice whiskers, like me.
She sits on the floor and talks so funny.  I wish she 
could meow so I can understand her.  Boy, does she 
tire me out!  I think she is busier than me!!!  And I am
a busy, busy girl!  She makes these squealy noises and
it scares me sometimes.   I think I scare her too, when I
make scary faces.  
I wonder what it would be like to own a kid?  Maybe it 
would be fun.
I just have my old Mommie and Daddy.  

Yup, maybe a little girl named Nicci would be nice.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Today I was thinking that sometimes I wish I
were a people.  <U>People got it made.</u>  They don't
have these unremoveable fur coats when the weather 
hits 90 degrees....do you have any idea how hot it
gets when yu are wearing a full-length fur coat and
it is hotter than Hades?  HOT!!!!
And people can go to the refrigerator and have an ice
cold drink of milk!  YUM!  <U>Any time they want it!!!</u>
And they can open tuna cans with one of those whirr-rrr
things...PRESTO!  OPEN CAN!
And I could go to the store by myself and buy LOTS of 
catnip & assorted goodies!  Tuna, salmon, toys and more
CATNIP!
I could go outdoors anytime I wished and nobody would say,
"NO!"
I could eat grass and gag on the rug and no one would be
mad.
I could scratch the good furniture without getting in the
doghouse....er....cathouse....um-mmm, wonder which one it is?

Well, anyway, I am bored.  It is summer and there is just 
nothing to do.  Maybe if I were a people I would have something
fun to do.
I wanna be a people!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>I am so dang happy today!  Mommie got a computer
to use since she managed to fry hers.  At least that
is what she says...I really don't remember smelling
anything like that cooking in the kitchen!  I wonder
if Mommie is just pulling my leg?  She is so silly
sometimes.  Anyway, I bet you just missed me something 
fierce, didn't you?  I am so cute that it just had to
be the worst time of your life, not to hear from me!
(Mawsie just said, "Bah"...she's a jerk!)
Mommie and Daddy went fishing a couple of weeks ago.
She caught the biggest fish she has ever caught...
it was a stupid carp!  But, she says she doesn't care,
that it was still fun to catch!  She caught some pretty
rainbow trout too....and they were pretty big!  They
ate them before they got home...now that wasn't very nice!
I would have liked to taste a rainbow.
They had company from Washington last night...they were
so very nice!  I really liked Kimm..and of course, she
liked me a lot too....who wouldn't?  And, <U>of course,</u>
Paul thought I was just a darling!  They thought Mawsie
was big...just another way of saying that she is a fat slob!!
And she isn't near as nice and friendly as me...she is just
an old meanie!
I really miss the fur that she yanked out of me by the roots.
It sure looks better on me than off, laying all over the floor!
Well, I just wanted to check in and say hi!
Happy 4th of July!  I love being an American cat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mommie got the dreaded camera out again last night. 
Gads, hasn't she got anything better to do than to take
pictures of a cat that hates cameras?
She takes a picture with that box thingy she calls a camera,
lights flash *** bing-ba-da-bing  ***  things go black...  ***
and then I walk around with stars flashing in my eyes and 
I am blinded for hours!  What a nuisance it all is!
She wanted to get a picture of me doing my "Petty Thief"
thingy....Maybe she just wants evidence to take to the
catcops.  No, I don't think thats it.  Maybe she just wanted
another picture of me being darling.
Well, I guess that is the price you pay for being cute.
I like to put my feet up on the coffee table and if there is
some wonderful, precious item on the table, well, I just
feel it is my duty to take it and put it somewhere where it will
be safe.  I am not a thief.  Really.  And besides, when I grab
something...Mom usually jumps up off the couch and runs
after me and takes it back!  Boy, that looks funny!  For an old 
gal, she can run pretty fast!
Thief!  Humph!  Bah catnip!  Silly woman!
I wonder if there is any way I can carry that dang camera
and hide it somewhere that she can't find it?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Well, I betcha you just thought I was lost in outer
space!  My Mommie has been so terribly busy that 
she hasn't had any spare time to write in our diaries.
They have the siding on the house and the new windows 
in the bedroom.  They are trimmed and painted and
she put up the new curtains.  It sure does look pretty!
Thank goodness she still finds some time to play with
me.  Sometimes I don't give her much choice about it,
as I just sort of guide her over to my favorite toy, my
shoestring.  As she walks across the room, it works pretty 
good to just sort of veer her over to the shoestring.
Sometimes that works pretty good....but sometimes she
just ignores me and tells me to please move my fuzzy
little butt!  Not nice, Mommie!
They still have a lot of work on the house, and if it would
stop raining for a few days, they could get the painting
done and the trim up.  Boy, it's pretty bad when they
don't have time to go fishing!
Well, Mommie says this has to be short cuz she wants to 
write in Mawsie's diary too.  So, purr  purr for now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>Mom and Dad decided to go paddlefishing!  And, they 
decided to take me and Mawsie along!  I usually have to 
stay at home and so does Mawse.  I was pretty excited!
BUT I NEVER WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN!
Have you ever been in an rrrrvvvv when it is going down
the road at 70MPH?  That is terrifying!
I got so scared that I was gasping for air and panting like a
dog!  I even crawled up on the bed with Mawsie even though
she hates my guts.  I just felt like I wanted to throw up.
Mawsie didn't even pound me this time.  She let me up on
the bed with her.  Mommie came running back and held me.  
I stuck  my head under her arm and pretended I was somewhere
else.  
They kept that house on wheels going and going...seemed like
days...but I guess it was only hours.  The noise was terrible.
There were things going by...cars and trees and other things.
then we rumbled down this rocky bumpy road and finally,
the rrrvvv stopped!
Thank goodness...there is a fairy godmother cat!
I felt dizzy and nauseated...and like I had been beaten!
Mawse was weird...she didn't seem to mind it at all!
(I always knew she was a weirdo!)
The rrrvvv is like a house but it has wheels.  Mommie packed 
us a nice lunch and we had all the conveniences of home...
a nice litter box and water and a soft place to sit.
But it was not the most fun I have ever had.
There was this big...REALLY BIG water there.  And Daddy
caught this big, REALLY BIG fish.  It was scary!
And there were tons  of people running around.  I don't much
like a lot of people all at once.  I prefer the ones I have already
met.
I guess we were there for three whole days.    It seemed like a 
lifetime!
I do not want to do that again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I am getting pretty fed up around here.  Mommie is
so busy she doesn't have time for anything!  Not even to
get my diary done or to hold and kiss me all the time!
I tried to tell her yesterday that I was tired of all of this.
She was trying to walk across the room and I kept grabbing
her leg and trying to stop her in her tracks!  She just laughed
at me!  Now, that makes me mad!  Not only that, but for two
whole, lo-ooong days, she left us here alone in this great big
house!  I always have to stay downstairs and she puts Mawsie 
upstairs....so Mawsie won't pound on me.  (That's how she gets
<I>her </i> exercize!)  But, it gets darn lonely around here,
waiting for people to come back home.  They are helping my
big people sister move and having garage sales and stupid stuff
like that.  They should stay at home and entertain me!!!
Now, there is talk about a fishing trip....they had better think 
of taking me along.  I can't stand another minute alone!
Besides I think I would like to go fishing....they smell nice.
Ta ta for now...I gotta go bug Mawse.  I am trying to be the
reigning queeen around here, even if I am small.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B><U>HAPPY MOMMIE'S DAY, MOMMIE!</U>
This morning as soon as I heard Mommie waking up in the 
bedroom, I hurried in to tell her Happy Mommie''s Day!
I didn't go in early like I usually do...I thought it would be
nice to let her sleep in.  I was so happy to see her!
I purred a per-fect song to her and she held me close while
I sang to her! She really seemed to like my Mommie's day
song.  
I don't have any pockets to put money in so I don't have 
any money saved to buy her something pretty.  If I could
just go outdoors today, I could bring her in a nice fluffy
dandelion!  But, she won't let me out anymore.
Oh, well, the most important thing of this very special day,
is to let my Mommie know just how very much I love her.
I did.
And I do.
And I will love her forever!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>I shouldn't tell you this, but, I just had to share with someone.
I have a new profession.  I am a Cat Burglar.  I learned this trade
all by myself.  Mommie and Daddy will be sitting on the couch,
usually watching the big machine with pictures moving around 
on it, and I very carefully, sneak up under that big marblish
table thingy and so-ooo sneaky like, I peek up over the top of
the table and steal something fun!  I have to be very careful,
and very quiet...so I put my paws on the table thingy and look
for the right item to steal.  I grab it with my paw and then pull
it off and then run like the wind!  I stole a nail clipper one day,
and yesterday I got a shoe stringy thing that Mommie put there.
We were playing with it and that's where she put it and I just had
to have it!  One day I tried to steal that squirt gun that I hate, but 
I couldn't get a good hold on it...dang! 
When I put my head up over the table top, Mommie usually giggles
so I put my head back down and wait till she's not looking...
then I sneak another look and get my treasure and grab it...
TA DA!  Then, I am gone!  
More dang fun!
Yup, I'm a cat burglar.....but, purr-lease don't tell on me!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <B>Mommie has been really cookin' up some good stuff
today!  The kitchen smells like Cat Heaven!  I sure wish I
was a people today!  She made some sort of Oriental Beef
dish for lunch for Daddy and his friend.  Then, she made
some ham and scalloped potatoes with cheese....tasty 
smelling!  My drooler is drooling at all the fine odors.
I am trying to figure out a way to get some of that stuff.
But, for some reason I don't think it is going to work!
And she is also fixing a big, delicious pot of ham and beans.
I like ham...I think I do.  And I would probably eat a bean 
or two.  It smells mighty good!  And then she made some 
brownies...chocolately and rich smelling, but I <I> know</i>
chocolate is out of the question!
She's on a cooking frenzy for sure!
I guess we are having more people over to help get the 
new siding on the house and so she wants plenty of food for them.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
And she is going to town to do a garage sale, so since
dear ol' Dad doesn't know much about cooking, she is getting 
it all ready before she leaves.  That is a total shame becuz she
is the one who usually sneaks me a bite or two of something!
Double Darn!
It sure smells good....I wish I was a people.]]></content:encoded>

They said it was a fish!  I know one thing, it sure smelled mighty
tasty!  I was sure wanting to lick it but he wouldn't let me!
If you look in my pictures you will see the new photo Mommie
put in and you can see the fish.  It is called a Rainbow trout, cuz
it has rainbow colors on the sides.  It was sure pretty and I guess
Mom will cook it tomorrow!  I hope I get a bite or maybe even two!
Yup, I think I am going to like it even better than that little bunny
that is out by the front window who makes my whiskers quiver
and my tummy tingle!  He looks mighty tastey, too!
Decisions, decisions....okay, so Mommie and Daddy won't let me 
eat rabbit!  I wonder why?
I guess they think it is cute.
I think it would be yummy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know why, but I am feeling sorta lonesome tonight.
I wish Mawsie loved me so we could sit and groom each
other and talk about things like some sisters do.
But, she sure doesn't like me much so I don't have any cat 
friends to talk to when I am feeling sorta low.  
I got up on Mommie's lap when she was on her litter box and 
I was  trying to tell her how I feel today, and then she put me 
on the floor!  I wasn't too happy about that so I grabbed her
foot and gave it a small bite and then jumped back up on
her lap!  'Hey, Lady, I'm not done here....I'm trying to tell you
something!'  She gave me some 'tensions and loves and that was
very nice, but I still ended up on the floor!
Drats!
Well, fine, then!  I will just be onery and cause some troubles.
Everybody seems to think I am just a trouble maker anyway!
I'll bug Mom and Mawse and see how they like it!  I won't bug 
Daddy though as he just doesn't seem to have a sense of humor.
No fun!
At least I won't be bored and lonesome anymore!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Once again, Mawse has made my little nose look like hamburger!
It's a dandy one too!  Starts between my eyes and goes clear down 
to my lip!  And it hurts!  Sometimes I just hate my sister!
Mom finally cut her nails but it is too late...I look like Frankencat!
I have been trying to get even with her since she did it.  Last night
I kept trying to sneak up on her and let her have it...but all of a 
sudden this weird looking thing appeared in Mom's hand and went
'swish!!!'....and it got me on my little toosh!  I didn't even see it
coming! 
What was that?
I don't like that thing!
Not at all!
It was plastic and had a very long handle thingy on it.  First I got
a spray of that nasty water from Mom's squirt gun...(she's a terrible shot!)
Then all of a sudden after she missed with the water a few times that 
other thingy got me on the behind!  My sister Mawse just sat there 
laughing.
Said something about a flyswatter initiation!
I AM NOT A FLY!
Now my butt hurts and my lip.
I just can't win!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie and I have a new game!  It is a lot of fun.  She really 
laughs at this one!  I  sure wish I could laugh, it sounds like
it is fun to do!  I tried but all I got was a raspy throat from
trying and it sounded pretty stupid if I do say so.
Anyway, Mommie dangles her hand up in the air and we do 
a boxing match!  I stand up on my hind legs and box like crazy!
My little paws really can go!  She does pretty good for an old gal!
We box for a minute or two and then she has to rest...and then we 
do it again!  
I am really tall when I do this.  I like being tall as I am
so small alongside my sister Mawsie.   She takes advantage of
that too and beats my little self up.  Someday.....
At least this new game keeps Mommie amused and gives her
something to do.  Sometimes she is just like a little kid and she 
gets so-ooo bored.  I just don't know what she would do without me!]]></content:encoded>

think that I will, but, I will cetainly get sick and tired of seeing
Mawsie every day for that long!  I wonder if they could possibly
open the door accidently along the way and just sort of let her
out of the door?  
She's a meanie!

the one who does the attacking!  <I>I am the aggressor!</i>  And in some
ways it is working pretty good....but in some ways it isn't.
I finally have Mawse about half afraid of me...okay so maybe not
very much, but maybe just a little.  And it used to be that when we
would get into a spitting, howling fight, Mommie would hollar at
Mawse.  For some reason that isn't working too well now, but it is
a lot of fun to try!  I really did prefer that Mommie yell at Mawsie
and pick me up to see if I were damaged beyond repair...but she 
hollars at me most of the time now.  Sheesh!  All I am trying to do
here is gain a little bit of respect...maybe a teeny bit of domination.
Some independence.
I know that I am the little cat...I weigh only 6 pounds and Mawse 
weighs 16...but I am the cat with the biggest mouth.  
Wait a minute, I didn't mean that.  I am the cat with the biggest 
nerve...I am <B>Super Cat!</b>
Mom says I suffer from the "Little Cat" syndrome and that is why
I act this way.
Mawse calls me Stupid Cat, but what does she know?  
I have taken over most of her belongings and favorite places
in the house...so maybe in another day or two, I will be the Queen
of this Castle!
*(Note from Mawse)
Now, do you see why I absolutely hate this Stupid Cat?
She's got more guts than brains.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and Daddy keep going out that big door and leaving me 
behind with Mawse.  It just makes me hurt inside when they leave.  
I have taken to going near the door and just sitting there looking
quite pitiful.  I can really look sad.
I get so very lonesome when they leave.  All of my sunshine
goes out the door when they go.  I wish they wouldn't do that.
Don't they love me?
I try so hard to be a nice cat.  Sometimes Mommie calls me a little
stinker when I am bad.  Is it because I am bad sometimes that 
they leave?  
I don't understand.
I just sit there silently, begging them with my eyes for them not to 
go.   Mommie gets a funny look  on her face and I heard her tell 
Daddy that she just hates to leave me cause I look so miserable.
Well, they could take me along, couldn't they?
Oh, that's right...I hate taking rides.
Dang!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a crappy night!  Opps!!!  Please don't tell Mommie I said that.
She wouldn't like it one little bit!  But, I was so darn mad 'cuz I 
usually get to run in and out of Mommie's room and generally
make a nuisance of myself....but, not last night!
For some idiotic reason, they let Mawse sleep downstairs.  I hate
it when that happens!  I didn't dare show my face in the room or
Mawsie would have beat me up....again!
And we would have screamed and yelled nasty things at each other
like we always do....again.
And we would have been in terrible trouble, like we always are when
that happens.....again.
And Mommie would have been in a terrible mood this morning...again.
So, I behaved myself and stayed in the front room....for the first time.
And Mawsie didn't come out and beat me up....like she always does.
Mommie's happy!
Mawsie is happy!
And I am in a crappy mood!  (Remember, I didn't say that!)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This has been a terrible weekend for me!  There are people
all over my house and they let this stupid looking creature in
my house.  It was really ugly!  It was black and brown and had
spindly funny looking legs and no tail like me!  It came running 
in my house and I went running up the stairs and hid so good
Mommie couldn't find me all day long!
Mawse told me I am stupid...she said it was a dog.
A dog?
She said that was a little one and she was wishing it had been a 
great big one and that it would have had me for breakfast!
Breakfast?
Heck, I told Mawse that as big as she is, she would be the one
they would want for breakfast, not a little thing like me!
So there!
She said I am stupid.
Am not!
Are too!
Am not!
Then, to top things off and really upset things around here,
there is a bunch of pounding and noise outside and it sounds like
big booms and it is scary.  Mawse said it is just Dad and Rob 
putting new siding on the house and I am just a chickenspit.
Am not!
Am too!
Am not, neither!
I'm going to tell Mommie!
Go ahead, Chickenspit!
I will when I get enough nerve to come out from my hidey hole!
I will sure be glad to have my house back.  I do not understand
why people are so noisy and busy.  They drive me nuts!
The only thing that has helped me get through all of this and makes
me feel a lot better...is that I was chosen for the diary pick page.
Catster likes me best, I told Mawse....
Do not....
Does too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a busy morning ahead of me.  I didn't start the morning 
the way I prefer.  I usually do a 6 o'clock wake up call for Mommie
but for some unknown reason, she had the door shut.  I lay by the 
door and tugged and picked but I couldn't get the dang thing open!
Ticked me off!  It is my duty to do a morning wake up call and now
my schedule is all screwed up!  I know Mommie appreciates her
wake up call because I always hear some really colorful language
at 6 A.M. when I stomp all over her and try to peek out her window.
That morning sunshine is the greatest and I just have to share with 
her all the joys of a bright new morning!
So, now I have to get in gear and do my busy run around the whole 
house and get Mawsie all riled up!  I have to make sure everything
is in order and that nothing happened in the night that might cause
problems for my humans during the day.  They are so helpless!
They just don't know what I go through to keep them safe and happy!
And they really don't understand the worth of a golden, wonderful
cat like me!
Mawse would never agree to that but she is just an old fuddy duddy
and suffers from old age.  she is about 7 now......old!  Older than a rock.
Don't tell her I said that 'cuz she will pound me...you know how sisters are!
Ta ta...I have to get busy.  I gotta grab a couple of bites of food and then do
 my run.  And my favorite part is terrorizing Mawse.
Heh heh....]]></content:encoded>

Mommie laughs at me when I am doing my little dance thing.
She says I am so funny 'cuz I always sing a song when I am
dancing my dance.  Well, there is music in my soul!  And besides,
who can dance without music?  Not me!  La La  &#9834;&#9834; &#9835;  &#9834; &#9835; &#9834; !

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy, did I get my fluffy, tailless butt into big trouble today!
Mommie was hugging and kissing me with little bitty kisses
like she likes to do.  I liked it a lot but all of a sudden this bad
thing came over me and I slapped her on the cheek!  Opps.
The worst part was that I had my claws out a little and she
wasn't any too happy with me.  
I said,<B> "April Fool!" </b> But, you can guess how that went over.
So I am in the doghouse or the cathouse big time today.
She thought it was funny when she told Daddy that she spilled
white paint all over the black carpet today.  But, she didn't 
think I was funny at all!
No sense of humor.
Well, honestly, I felt really bad about it.  I hate this thing inside 
of me...the wild part that somehow just doesn't quite want to 
tame down.  I lived outdoors for a year and a half until she adopted 
me and I still have this wild streak that I don't know how to control.
I wish I did.  I know that sometimes she gets a funny look on her
face like she is sort of afraid of me when I get the wild thing happening.
I love my Mommie and don't want her to feel that way.  She's the 
nicest Mommie I ever had and the nicest human ever in my whole life!
I hope she understands that I didn't mean to do it.
I am part wild and maybe I always will be.
It is very hard to adjust to all the things inside a house.  I can't get up
on things and I am not sure which things not to get on.  And I guess
I have destroyed one of  their pretty antique couches with my claws.
I am not trying to be bad...I am just being me.
Mommie, please forgive me.
I love you very much.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, Mom and Daddy went fishing for his birthday yesterday.
It's not my fault that he didn't catch a fish for his special day!
They drove for a couple of hours to a new place and while they 
were there, it started sleeting...and hailing tiny hail.  The wind 
blew pretty good too.  Mommie was standing there at the river
with a pile of snow for a hat on top of her head, laughing!  I bet
she looked pretty funny!  Daddy came over and said that maybe 
they should go somewhere else...sure.  
I bet there is some sunshine just over the hill...Mommie thought.  
(At least she kept her mouth quiet for a change!...Good Mommie!)
As I hear it, they didn't so much as get one tiny nibble all day long.
They went to another place that was on the way back towards home
and tried their luck there....no luck there either!  Mommie said her 
Daddy always said, "Ya gotta be smarter than the fish!"
In this case, the fish won!
The big ugly black clouds followed them and so they thought maybe 
they should just head for home.  
So Daddy didn't get a fish for his birthday.

I wonder how much it costs for a can of tuna?]]></content:encoded>

I didn't have no penny.
Money, I haven't any.
I don't know what to do
'cept give him skies of blue.

So he can go somewhere
and catch a fish out there.
It hasta be real big....
(Weigh more than a pig!)

I know he loves to fish
so that's my birthday wish.
That he gets to go fishing...
that's what I am wishing!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is going on around this place?  Once again, Mom is running around
like a chicken with her head cut off!  Gads...that's a nasty saying.  I wonder
where that came from?
She is talking about an Easter Egg Hunt for the little ones.  I wonder if
that includes me?  I am a little one and sometimes I like eggs.
I heard them talking about an egg hunt they had one year and she
said that the kids found an Easter bunny.  There was a tiny cottontail
rabbit about three inches long...all soft and warm hiding under a bush 
where some eggs were hidden.  It was gray and brown with tiny ears
about a half an inch long.  One of the kids picked it up and brought it to
the house.  They all got to touch it, but Mama made them put it back.
She said it is supposed to live outdoors and that it was a special little
gift from God.  Something to look at and leave for others to enjoy.
When I lived out doors, I saw a bunny that was nearly big as a horse!
It was a huge beast with ears longer that I am tall!  The feet were 
monsterous...musta been a <B>foot</b> long!    (Hee hee!  Get it?  A <U>foot</u> long!)  He was fast!  
I coulda jumped on that thing and rode to Texas on 
him!  
Wow!  I guess his name was Jack.  I didn't wait around for 
introductions though as he scared me half silly!  Okay, not half....
I was scared to pieces!  My whole body and soul was scared.  
If that thing shows up for Easter, I am outta here!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!  I didn't know a chafing dish could be so loud!  I was being really 
sneaky at about 6:30 AM and I was investigating the cupboard in the 
kitchen.  (I am not supposed to do that!)  I was being nice and quiet so 
no one would know what I was doing.   Mommie gets really ticked off
when she sees me get on the cupboard, so I have learned that nighttime
is the best time to check things like that out.  She had bought a new 
chafing dish and had set it on the cupboard with the candles and 
everything, including the lid which is made of some kind of shiny 
metal stuff.  I guess you can already get the picture.  Yup, I knocked 
the darn thing off!  <B>(BANG! BOOM! CLATTER! TING! SPLAT!)</B>
I didn't know I could run that fast!  I went from 0 to 60 in nothing
flat!  
Well, I managed to get both Mom and Dad up and they were not in the
best of moods.  <i>Well, I wasn't in too good a mood either.</I>  Nearly scared
my whiskers off when it made all that clatter!  Mom still isn't sure where
Mawsie is.  She can run really fast too for an old broad!  Whew!  
Well, I learned something from it all anyway....
not to get too close to shiny glassy thingys!
(Mom said she hoped I learned my lesson and that I should keep my
fuzzy butt off the cupboards.)  
I probably won't.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie and Daddy went fishing yesterday.  They stopped at the 
mailbox on the way out and they got a nice package from 
Angel Merrilee.   I guess she is not a real angel, but Mom thinks she is.
Anyway, she sent a cute little bear with a fishing pole and vest and hat.
So Mama took it fishing with them.  It must be a lucky bear because
Mommie caught a really big fish!  It was a brown trout and it was over
17 inches long!!!  It was her very first fish of the year!
Mama says she will take that bear with her every time they go fishing!
I have never seen a fish before.  They are sure pretty and they smell so
yummy!  Mama says she will cook it tonight and let me have a bite!
I can't wait!
I have become a very finicky eater now that I am an indoor cat.  
Mommie tries to feed me some pretty weird things, like chicken or
pieces of hamburger.  YUK!  I am too refined now for that stuff!
I prefer my healthy dried cat food now-a-days.    It's fun to be a picky
indoor cat!  I did try a cooked carrot once, and found it to be quite 
interesting.  I don't want to appear to be unthankful for everything...
so once in awhile I humor Mama.  But, I don't want to look like a beached
whale like Mawsie.  

(Don't tell her I said that or she will pound me for sure!!)

You have a nice day...I hope all of your dreams come true!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Easter is coming!
Everybody is so-ooo busy around here.  I really don't know what Easter
is, but, Mommie says a lot of people are coming!  There will be a lot of 
kids here too and my Aunt Dee Dee.  She thinks I am so-ooo cute.  She
has really good taste, she does.  I wonder if she will bring me a present?
I like presents.  I am not too sure that I like the little kitten people. 
They are smaller sized human beings.  They are noisy sometimes and
like to try to grab me.  So far I can outrun them so I can get away...
but they sure are busy little critters.
Mama is going to have an Easter egg hunt.  I like eggs sometimes.  It won't
be hard to find them cuz I know just where they are so I can find all of 
them.  They are in that great big boxy thing in the kitchen.  When you 
open the door it gets really, really cold.  I think it is called a frigidair 
thingy.  So I will probably win all the eggs cuz I know egg-zactly where 
she puts them!!!  Ha Ha!
Mama bought a new dress the other day just for Easter.  She tried it
on and she looked just like a Princess Kitty.  She was so excited!  I wonder
why she liked it so much?  If she had some decent fur on her body, she 
wouldn't need to wear that kind of stuff.  I pre-fur the soft short hair
like I wear.  Not too tough on the tongue and doesn't cause too many
hairballs to gag up.  You certainly couldn't use your tongue to clean
up that silky dress Mama bought.  It has some sparkly things on it
and I just know you would end up with a rash on your tongue from it.
Well, sometimes it is just hard to figure out the human species.
I will let you know what is going on about Easter.  So be sure to
stay tuned to my station!!!

If you like my diary, be sure to read Mawse's too.  She is my big sis.
She doesn't much like me, but I love her anyway.  Besides it is fun
to irritate her...isn't that what siblings are for?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have tried very hard to fit in this family and do a good job of 
every thing I do.  Since Mawse is the appointed mouse catcher 
here, I felt it was my duty to find a job to earn my nibbles and
catnip in the best way I can.
I wanted to have the job of warming Mama's back at night to
keep her nice and warm, but Mawsie says I am too little and 
besides, she won't let me on Mommie's bed at night.  She says
that she purrs much louder too and the vibrations always help
Mama's poor old back.  She says my purr is not worth purring.
Well, I sat and practised real hard, but I guess she is right, she 
does a much better job of it.
So, I thought maybe I could be Mama's morning alarm clock.
I get up at the crack of dawn and check out the window to look
for wild critters and snow and things that should be watched for.
Then, I go to Mama's room and jump on the bed to wake her up.
I try to look out the window above her bed to make sure things 
are safe there.  For some reason, she doesn't seem to appreciate it 
at all.  I took my mink tail toy in this morning...it's my best, most
expensive toy to share with her.  I was going to tickle her on the 
nose with it and make her happy!  It was pretty early as the sun was 
just beginning to light things up.  She mumbled some words that I
didn't understand and went back to sleep.  I tried to get her out of bed 
a few more times and next thing I knew, the door was shut and I 
couldn't get in there any more.  For some reason, I don't think she
likes my job of being the Main Supervisor of Time.  She said if she
needs a dang alarm clock, she will set one....and to get off the bed!
So, here I am, wondering now what my duty is around this house.
I was wondering aimlessly about and there was a bug on the floor.
Aha!  I will kill the bugs!  And when I do that, I leap into the air and go
completely off the deep end!  Mom really laughs when I do that!
So, there I am...I am the bugcatcher and the main source of amusement
in this house!!
Ta Da!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am just getting to be so popular.  Not bad for a cat that came 
from the sticks!  I was so-ooo poor, I had to eat leftover mouse.  
I lived in an old shed, with 8 other kids and Ma and Pa.  I had to
walk miles to school in snow up to my whiskers!  Sometimes I went
to bed with a hungry tummy...(but, then I am always hungry!)
The other kitties always laughed at me and told me I was so-ooo ugly
that I had to tie a bag of catnip around my neck to get my cat mom
to kiss me goodnight.  And they called me "Klumbsy Kat" and made
fun of me.
<B>But, look at me now!!!</b>
I am on the Catster Diary picks and people actually write and want 
to be friends with me  Sometimes they tell me how cute I am!  I haven't
had to go without food for months and I live in a warm castle place
with a Mommie that loves me to pieces.  I feel like a Princess!

It is certainly a 'Rags to Riches' kind of story, isn't it?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom got up this morning and opened the big window for me as 
she usually does.  (Got her trained pretty good!)  It was sure nice
out...no snow or anything.  Then, within five minutes, it started
to snow really hard!  Within five minutes there was 1/2 inch of snow 
on the ground!  And it is still coming!  Montana is like that.  It may be 
snowing and then turn out to be 70 degrees later in the day.  Or it may
be 70 degrees and drop down to 30 below in nothing flat!
Mommie says today it is St. Paddy's Day.  I wonder what that is?  She said 
something about having some corned beef and cabbage.  I don't think
I would like that much!  I am not into cabbage at all.  It makes me
little stomach turn just to think about it!
So I am wondering about this St. Paddy's Day thing.  It is supposed to be
something about being Irish.  Is a manx cat considered Irish?  Mama said,
just for today, I can be Irish if I want.  So I think I will.  I think the 
corned beef sounds mighty good...no cabbage on the side please.
Well, I am done here.  Just wanted to wish you all....
<B>HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY!...from an Irish cat. </b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been wondering why Mawsie doesn't like me very much.  
Mom says she is just jealous over having another new kid in the house.  
I wouldn't mind having someone to play with if I were her.  How very 
lonesome it must have been for 6 years to be the only cat!  
She has a very nice scratching post bed thing that I have completely 
taken over.  So she doesn't sit by the window very much anymore.
If that is the reason she hates me, I would be glad to give it back!

And Mommie likes to hug and kiss me a lot, but, I never did see Mawse
sit on her lap very often, and Mommie seems to like it a lot...so I just
sort of have to do it, to please Mommie of course.  It does seem to make
her happy!

Maybe sharing the litter box is what has her up in arms.....well, I would
be glad to go outside, but Mama won't let me.  Says there are some really
nasty critters out there that like to eat small furry things like me.  
(I ought to know, as I lived out there for a year and a half!)  There are big
birds that scoop down from the sky and pick up rabbits and other things, 
and there are coyotes, and foxes, and bears and cougars and heaven 
knows what else there is!

I just wish there was some way that Mawse and I could be friends.

I am so-oooo  lonesome.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I got an email from a couple of nice kitties, Skittles and 
Fat Tony, who wanted me to be friends with them.  They just joined 
Catster so I wanted to tell them, WELCOME!
Mawsie was jealous!  I love it cuz she is so mean and nasty!  
We got put in separate areas of the house last night, cuz we just 
wouldn't settle down.
Mom got up and was she roaring mad!  Mawsie ran up the stairs and hid 
in the bedroom.  I just ran around in circles, cuz I wasn't too sure what 
to do.  Mawse says I am stupid.  I think Daddy made somewhat the same 
remark.  I know stupid is not a nice thing or Mawsie wouldn't have said it.
I don't think I am stupid.  I think I am just busy.  I have a very big house 
to keep in order...to make sure things are being done properly.  I also like
to keep a good eye on Mawse as you just never know what she is going to
do.  Dad said if I would just stop following her, I probably wouldn't get my 
butt pounded so much.  But, it's really fun to  bug her!
Say a little cat prayer for Dogster today!  We are hoping they will win the
number one spot for the contest!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Funny, funny, funny!
Today, Daddy wanted to go fishing and Mama wanted to go garage sailing and guess what?  It snowed!  
I think that is the greatest, because now they will have to stay home with me!  I hate to be alone.  When they leave us home, Mawsie my big, really big, sister always pounds my butt.  I have tried to pound her back, but it just doesn't work too good.
I wonder if all sisters are like that?  My half sister RaShelle has three girls and they fight all the time!  Mom said there were three girls in their family too and they used to have some pretty good fights too!  Just like cats, claws and all!  I thought people were supposed to be smarter than animals?  Well, at least that is what people say.  I dunno, my opinion is that animals are smarter than people.  
(Don't tell Mama I said that!)  But, animals love unconditionally.  Just like I love my humans.
I love snow!
&#9834;&#9834; &#9835;  &#9834; &#9835; &#9834;&#9834; Let it snow, &#9834;&#9834; &#9835;  &#9834; &#9835; &#9834;&#9834; Let it snow, &#9834;&#9834; &#9835;  &#9834; &#9835; &#9834;&#9834; Let it snow!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Spring is springing out here!  There is a tasty little chipmunk that likes to hang around the sliding door and he looks like he might be really yummy!
I have a feeling that I won't be finding out how tasty he is though, as Mama won't let me out the door.  She opened it this morning and I ran like wildfire outside and I was stopped in midair!  Then, she picked me up, cussed me out, and unceremoniously...dumped me back inside!  <B>Drats!</b>
Well....
Can't say as I liked that very much!
I'm a cat for goodness sake!  I am <U>supposed</u> to be curious!
I like to sit by the door and do a little chitter song to lure the chipmunk in.  Mom says I am making some awfully silly faces...well, I can't be darling all the time!
Is a chipmunk good?  Do they taste like chicken?
I want to know!!!!
Maybe the next time the door opens, if I run really, really fast, maybe I can make it out the door.....Or not.  But it is certainly worth a try.  
I asked Mawsie if chipmunks taste good, but she just hissed at me and told me to go 
away.  Why won't anyone tell me what they taste like?  I asked Mommie too, but she just gagged at the thought!  
Mama says I am a pest.  Is that good?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama and Daddy are going into town today.  I hate it when they leave cuz Mawsie always picks on me.  But, sometimes it is worth it, cuz they bring home fun toys.  I like toys a lot!  (Except for that scary mouse thingy that scares me half to death!)
I am not a chicken...now don't go thinking that!  I have tackled spiders as big as your arm!  and I know I could kill a mouse in 3 seconds flat if I could just see one!
But, I sure don't like that mouse thing.
I wish I could go to town to see what a town looks like.  I have never been to a big town.  I am a country cat.  Mostly having lived outdoors till my Mommie cat napped me.  (I am so-ooo glad she did!)  I love living indoors and getting hugs and kisses all the time.  Mama is kinda mushy!  I like that in a Mama!  Oh, and the food is great too!  I get lots of it and don't have to fight with 10 other cats to get a bite!
But, my favorite thing of all is the hugs and kisses!
Mama said I wouldn't much like the big city.  Said there are lots of cars and people and big huge buildings...and it is very busy and noisy there.  If it is that bad, I wonder why Mama goes?  Does she like it?  Does all the noise bother her?
I know she hates it when I scream like a banshee when Mawsie slaps me.  She really doesn't seem to like that noise at all!
Well, I will keep my paws crossed...hoping that maybe she will bring a wonderful treat home.  We could really use a bit more of that organic catnip.  Mawsie hogs it all....the pig!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am a Super Cat.  Some days I can nearly fly!  I am so airborne that it is almost like touching the clouds!  I have springs in my feet that take me hundreds of feet into the air!  I visit with the birds and the bugs and anything else that can get that high.  
I can be walking across the room and suddenly without warning, there I am..up there in the clouds...riding on the air!  I don't know why this happens...perhaps I have a secret idenity...like  <B>Amelia Aircat</b>.  It's just something I have to do.  Things look really different in the air...Mawsie looks like she is so-ooo little.  And when I land, I am still thinking she is very tiny and that is usually when I get my fuzzy butt in trouble.  Cuz that is when I usually try my Super Attack on her...and then I realize that she is <B>not</b> small.  She is <B>very</b> latge and fast for a fat cat!  And she has sharp claws and teeth.  Meoooww-yeooowl!
I think I should have been born a bird.  A big lovely eagle with big talons and a sharp beak....then, we would see who is the toughest, me or Mawsie!
Some day a Colliewood producer will come along and want me to be on the movie screen.  Not too many cats have the knack of flying.  I am just so-ooo special!

Okay, so I am embellishing the truth a tad...but just a tad!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I pulled a little trick on Mama yesterday.  I told you how I gave her some soft kisses on her cheek....and she liked that a lot!
Well, yesterday, I was getting my hugs and kisses so I was purring and making motor sounds.  I snuggled in and reached up like I was gonna give Mama one of my special kisses...instead I fooled her!  I bit her on the cheek!
Well, phooey, she didn't think that was funny and she dumped me on the floor!
No more hugs and kisses and sweet nothings in my ear.  Just a "plop" on the floor and some not so nice names.  So I tackled her leg.
Shoot!  She didn't think <I>that</i> was funny either!
Sometimes my mom just hasn't got a sense of humor.
I <i>still</i> think it was funny!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Aunt Dee Dee and Aunt Gale are coming to visit this weekend!  I have never met them before.  Mama says I will really like them!  She said they are pretty and nice!
I wonder if they will like me?  Will they think I am cute?  Will they hold me and spoil me like my Mama does?  Will they bring me a present?
I hope they like me.  I hope that they like me better than Mawse as she is so mean!  
I am a sweetie...just ask my Mommie! Well, sometimes I just can't help myself...I am a little stinker.  But, mostly I am a honeybunch!
Mom says they have cats too and they really like them, so I know they won't be able to resist me.  

I kissed Mama on the cheek yesterday.  She is always pecking tiny soft kisses on the top of my head so I just wanted to kiss her back.  Her cheek is so soft..like a newborn kitten's.  She sure seemed to like that a lot.  I'll have to remember that when I get into trouble around here...hee hee.

Well, I have to go find out where Mawse is at.  Time to get her big fuzzy butt in the doghouse!!]]></content:encoded>

I wish I knew a cat that was a whole lot bigger...like three times bigger....and I would have him pound her for me!  After all, I am only 6 teeny tiny pounds and she weighs 15...or at least that is what she admits to!  I think she is a whole lot bigger than that!  She's vain!  She thinks cuz she has pretty blue eyes that she is so-ooo special!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama and Daddy left for the whole long weekend.  They imprisoned me downstairs and Mawse upstairs...all by ourselves.    It was mighty lonely.  The phone rang a lot and every time it did, I nearly jumped out of my skin!  I didn't answer it, I was too mad at being left alone!
I was so fun when Mommy came in the door!  I was just catastic!  
Then, they let Mawsie downstairs and I was even glad to see her...until she pounded me!
I lay there and felt awfully hurt.  My eye hurt a lot and I only had one eye open.  Mama came running over to see how bad it was...she was sure mad at Mawse!
After awhile it didn't hurt so very bad, but my feelings stayed hurt the rest of the night.
Till....
Mom sent Mawse upstairs again, and I got to be on her bed.  That was pure Heaven!  I get kinda nervous about it though so I didn't spend the whole night there, but I had a lot of fun bugging Mama, rolling around and grabbing her toes!
She has fun toes!  They sort of wiggle and squirm like a fishy!   Although, they don't smell as good as a fish!
I hope they put Mawse upstairs again tonight.  She's a meanie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a really nice nap today.  Mom was laying on the couch with a nice soft fleece blanket.  She looked pretty comfy to me....but I thought, a really nice touch would be one, warm, fuzzy kitten on top.  So I jumped up there and to my delight, she had another little blanket on top of her.  That little blanket was just radiating heat!  Wow!!  I liked that a whole bunch!  She told me that she would be glad to share her heating pad.  Hm-mmm, heating pad.  Well, that's what it is called!  I would like one of those on the couch at night where I sleep.  Suppose that could be arranged?
I laid down on it and purred myself to sleep.  Mom turned it way down...she said she didn't want me to burn my tootsies.    I slept there till I heard the doorbell ring and then I jumped up to see who was there.   Dad said, "Dummy, that was on the TV."    Shucks, I felt stupid.  Okay, so I laid down again for another round.  Talk about total comfort!  Purr-rrr-rrrr-rr.....then something scared the wits out of me.  I thought there was a bear in the house or a cougar screaming!  It was horrifying!
I thought I should go hide then I realized....
Mom snores.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama was really wanting a big box of chocolates for Valentine's Day yesterday.  She had the weird human look of really <I>needing</i> chocolate.  Is chocolate sort of like catnip?  Do humans go wacky on it?  I smelled it once and it didn't do a thing for me.  I don't know why they get that way over something like that.    I can understand the catnip thing.  It makes you zoom into outer space and see visions of fat little mice and birds...turkey and chicken and sunshiny colors!  Do you suppose that chocolate does the same thing to people?
I wish I could have gotten her a box of pretty chocolates, but I don't have any of that stuff called money.  I would have bought her the biggest, prettiest box of all.  Lots of lace and ribbons and flowers on it!  And at least ten pounds of chocolate!
I would have bought her some roses too, cuz she seems to like them a lot!
But, I couldn't do anything like that.  I'm just a cat.
But, I gave her lots of special purrs and some really loving hugs.  I didn't even fight with Mawse, too much.
She didn't get any chocolates...or any roses.  She looks kind of hurt.

I think I will bite Daddy today.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Paybacks are a female dog...
Well, Mawsie Lou finally got her due last night.  She kept terrorizing me till I just got fed up.  I couldn't take it anymore!   I have tried my darnedest to be friends with her and she treats me like a dog.
She gave me the old one, two, boxed my ears pretty good...ran me down the stairs at high speed...and I turned into SUPER CAT!  I went berserk!  I chased her back up the stairs, swiping at her behind!  She was running with all she had...which isn't much as she outweighs me by 10 pounds!  I went crazy with power!
I heard Mom and Dad laughing somewhere behind me.  
Rather than take any chances, I ran back down the stairs and Mom was standing there...(probably a good thing) and about that time, Mawse came tearing down the stairs to try to return the favor.
Scree-eeech!  She stopped when she saw Mama standing there!
Boy, that was fun!  At least she will know that I am a force to be reckoned with!
No more sissy cat here!
Only thing bad about the whole thing is that Mama decided to use that squirt gun thing on both of us!  We both went to neutral corners.

To be continued....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom wanted to write today, so I thought I would let her cuz she's my faovrite Mama!

*Instead of having Dancer and Mawse write in their diaries today, I decided that I would have a go at it myself.
I just wanted to say, that I love my little girls so very much.  The delight they have given me, goes on day after day after day.  
Mawse gives me the steadfast love of an older pet, the calming effect of having been here so long.  She gives me a sense of having an old friend that I can talk to anytime.  She knows when I have bad days and she has always been there for me.  I love her so deeply.  She is a no nonsnse cat.  She cuddles mostly as she sees fit.  But, once in awhile she just lets it all hang out and revels in the love I give.  She stretches out like a big half circle and lets me rub her tummy.  She is my darling!
And, I am so glad that Dancin' Girl is now in our family.  (Although Mawse would prefer that she isn't.)   We have had her a mere two months and I have just fallen in love with the little imp!  She is the humor in the day.  The business of the day.  The little snoop, the clown and once in a wonderful while, she is a cuddlebug.  She is always a surprise.  A wonderment.  She makes me smile and laugh and I even think she has stolen the cat hater's heart...her Dad.  She's a little shadow, following her people around the room and up the stairs.  She talks her foreign language with a bunch of little rrrr's and makes it sound as though she is trying to say thanks for everything....and I love you.  It makes me wish all the more that I could speak catese!!
Pets are certainly a gift from God.  The best kind.  They fill my heart with love.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mama came home today in such a good mood!  I like her to be happy!  She's fun and generous too!
We got some delicious new food...yummy stuff!  And a scratcher thing that Mawse hogged.  She is so selfish sometimes!  I finally sneaked over to see what the fuss was all about and it was okay...but I still don't see why Mawse was so mean about it.
Then, Mama got me some new toys too.  I don't know what the story is.  They are scardy things.  I am pretty afraid of the mouse thing that scoots across the floor.  It makes lots of noise and makes me run like the wind!   I walked by the dumb thing and it started up and yelled and went berserk across the floor.  Well, so did I...in the other direction.  I didn't even touch the stupid mouse!  Wow!  Is that one of those remote control things?  I don't think so.  Mama said there are batteries in it....I wonder what a battery is?  Mama said that it would be nice if MY battery would run down.  I wonder what she means by that?  I like being busy.  But, I don't like noisy toys.  It was awfully nice of her to think of us today though.
Maybe tomorrow I will play with it.  
Then she got another nifty toy too.  It has a springy thing and bounces around like crazy.  Mama really has fun with that one.  She sat on the floor and played with it for quite awhile.  I just watched her.  Maybe she was trying to show me how much fun it was....well, it certainly looked like she was having fun!!!
Yup, it was a very good day.  I love Mama.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just don't know why everything is up to me to take care of in this house.  Mawse is so-ooo lazy!  I was over on top of Mom, bugging her, chewing on her hand.  All of a sudden I looked across the room, and there was this strange cat!  I flew off the couch and ran break neck speed towards that stranger...and we butted heads.  Darn near knocked me out!  Whew!  I walked away and the scardy just disappeared!  Right before my eyes!  I walked back over to where I'd seen him last, and there he was again.  I fuzzed myself up a bit, so I would look much bigger....and so did he!  I'm Not scared of you, I told him...(not very much anyway.)  I looked across the room and Mawse just sat there on her chair looking at me like I was stupid.  I heard Mom and Dad laughing too.  Doesn't anyone take <I>anything </i> serious around here?  That cat was invading our property!
I went back over to play with Mom, and sure enough, there was that big mean cat across the room again!  I jumped down off the couch, ran like wildfire and attacked that big, ugly cat!  He jumped to attack me too!   Whoa!  This is serious stuff!  I ran off a little ways to think of what my next tactic would be, and he must have left the building! Didn't see him anywhere.   Ha!  He's scared of me!  
"Come out, you Fleabag! Where ever you are!  I'll tear you limb to limb!"
Oops...there he is again.  I was trying to sneak up on him and darned if he didn't sneak up on me instead!  Kinda surprised me.  I jumped up in the air and so did he so I guess we surprised each other.  I looked off to the side and he wasn't there.  I went to the other side and he wasn't there.  I peeked back around and sure enough, there he was!  He peeked at me!
Well, I must have charged that darn awful cat 10 or 20 times last night.  I was one pooped kitty!  Mom and Dad sure seemed to think everything was funny.   I have a headache from protecting our property and these people, the ungrates ,are laughing at me.

Mawse looked at me later on and said,   "Look up <U>mirror</u> in the dictionary, Stupid!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom added some new pictures as you can see.  There is one with my mouth open and I have a lot of nice, new shiny teeth...as you can see.  It looks like I am trying to bite the camera, but I am not.  I am trying to bite my Mommies fingers.
She has decided that I need to have my toenails trimmed.  I do not want my nails trimmed.  Never ever.  I need them.  And they are MINE.
We had a pretty good wrestling match while she tried to sweet talk me into holding still.  HA!  I don't hold still.  It's not my job.  She seems to forget I am originally an outdoor cat and outdoor cats do not have their nails trimmed.  I have not forgotten that fact and I will not go along with her little idiosyncracy.  Just because I tore up that old couch and Daddy is mad.....
We went several rounds and I chewed on those hard shiny things she calls nail clippers.  They taste terrrible!  Danged if she didn't manage to trim two of my pretty nails!  I was so mad!  
Just because Mawse lays there like a big blob and gets hers done, doesn't mean that I am that dumb!  Shows who has the brains in this family!
So, if you were wondering about the picture...
But, I still have MOST of my nails!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy, did we get into trouble last night and this morning too.  Mawse is being her usual grumpy mean cat self.  Idon't think she will ever like me.  Last night she was in Mom's bedroom and she came storming out into the frontroom and kicked my butt!  Ye-oooowwwl!  Scream, hiss...more hisses!
I heard, "$%^#&*%$@ , you idiots, STOP THAT!"  Mom was mad!

Sh-hhh,  we are supposed to be quiet at bedtime.

So we gave it another go this morning bright and early!
<B>HISS, SCREAM, HOO-OOWWWWLLLL, HISS-SSSSS, SCREECH!!</B>

Well, I guess you know, Mommie wasn't too happy about that!  She got up and stomped into the frontroom.  She had murder in her eyes.  Hm-mmm, she didn't say a thing.  That's scary.  Oh, I get it...the silent treatment.  I went in to visit her on her litter box and usually she lets me sit on her lap for my good morning hug.
Hm-mmm, no hug?  No loves?   I jumped up on her lap and she set me back on the floor.  I went into the frontroom and Mawse was laughing at me...."Stupid, you think she's going to let you sit on her lap after <U>you</u> made her mad?"
"Oh, I made her mad?  Me?  All by myself?  I think you were the one who started all this and I'm going to tell Mommie."
"You always get us in trouble."
"Do not."
"Do so."
"Do not."
"Do too."
Well, that's just fine then.  I will do my other most favorite thing then.  I will stalk Mawse the rest of the day.  Then, I will stare her in the eye and send her malicious messages.  She hates that!  And for that reason alone, I will enjoy the rest of my day, even if I don't get any hugs from Mommie.]]></content:encoded>

She added some pics for the Valentines Parade.  I am such a darling!
She got a lot of wonderful action shots of me too, but most of them were blurred.
And, that is not what she wanted.  I think she was cussing out little ol' me...aw, now why did she go and do that?  I am just so-oooo sweet!
I don't think she thinks so. 
 Grumpy Mommie!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie seems to think she can get a picture of me for the Valentine's page...Ha!
I don't sit still long enough for her to get a picture of me!
I have things to do and places to go, and cats to see!
I might only be going across the room but it is important to me. 
When she tries to take a picture I usually stop whatever darling thing I am doing and stand there looking stupid.  It is my sworn duty to foul things up!
I am a cat.  I do things my way.
I hate that thing she calls a camera anyway.  She aims it at me and then <B>BIF BANG POW!</B> I see stars for hours afterwards.  What is with that?  It's like she has a double blast of sunshine in that thing!   I see stars and then I see black spots that circle and make me dizzy!  It's a cat fouler-upper, that's what it is!
I hate it!  
So, if she wants a picture, she's gonna have to get one when I am sleeping...
I am not in the mood to pose!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mawsie said that it is going to be Mommie's birthday tomorrow.  I wonder what a birthday is?  Mawsie said it is a very special day...the day we were born.  It is a day to celebrate and do fun things, like eat chicken or turkey and have LOTS of cat nip and get LOTS of toys and special attention, all your own!

I hope I have a birthday!  Wow!  That sounds like a marvelous thing to have!

I was an outdoor cat for almost a year and a half.  The only celebrations we ever had were when one of us (There were 11 cats.) caught a juicy mouse!  That was total excitement!  But I don't remember ever having a birthday celebration.

A birthday.  That's nice.

Mawse says that we should get a gift for Meowmie.   Gift?  I never had one of those before either.  I wonder where you find a gift?  I will go look around the house to see if there are any things that look like a gift.  Are they big?  Are they little?  Are they alive?  Are they dead?  Are they furry?  Do they smell good?  Do they taste like chicken?  

Mawse says the best gift I could give Mommie would be some peace and quiet.  
She says I am a pain in the butt.  (At least my butt isn't as big as Mawsies!)

Well, I will just have to give my Mommie some extra purrs on her birthday.  And I will be sure to climb up on her lap in the morning while she is on her litter box like I do every morning.  Then, I will rub her extra hard and let her know how very much I love her.

That's it!  I can give her LOVE!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said she is going to buy me a book on cats.  She told me I am a bit different than most cats and that I really should read the book.  I wonder what book it is?
I wonder if I can read?  I wonder if she will read it to me?  Will I like books?  I am so curious.
Well, the other day I was sitting on her lap while she was on the computer and I got on the desk part and thenI fell off into some pans that she had for sale on Ebay. 
 It sure made a heck of a clatter!  Scared the pantaloons off me!  I ran for the door and looked back and she was laughing.  (Wonder if she pushed me?)  Then, I tried to jump up on the couch the other day so I could join her in a nap, and I fell off....several times.  In fact, I couldn't quite make it up on the couch.  I finally did when she reached down and picked me up.  She called me something like 'Clumbsy".  What does Clumbsy mean?   Is that something nice?
I was laying there enjoying our nap and rolled and fell off the couch...dang!  And she laughed again and said that clumbsy word.    That happens a lot.   (I bet she pushed me...again.)
So about the book.   She said cats are supposed to be graceful.  Is graceful good?
She said cats are supposed to land on their feet.  I do sometimes.   Will the book tell me how to do it?  I think maybe she is just being a smarty about the fact that I am not overly graceful.  What do you think?  
I am sure I can't read.  Does it say in the book that all cats are graceful or are there other cats like me who aren't?  
Life is a puzzlement.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As is with most siblings, especially sisters,  there is always a bit of bickering here and there.  This is what I heard this morning going on between Mawsie and Dancer:

(HONEST!)

<B>Na na na na naya na!  Ha ha!</b>  I am one of the featured cats for diaries today!  Ha ha...so I am much more popular than you are.  You write stupid stuff.  They like mine better, says Mawse.
Dancer says, Oh yeah...well, if they like you so much better, how come I am the <B>CAT OF THE DAY?</b>
Cat of the Day?  You're wha-aaat?  I don't believe you, you are such a liar...says Mawse.
You're not either.
Am so.
Am not.
Am too.
Fibber McGee.  Am not.

Well, Dancer says smugly, I am and if you don't believe me, then just go ask Mom or look for yourself!
You're too dumb looking to be Cat of the Day.  They like pretty cats, like me.
You haven't even got a tail.
That is exactly why the picked little ol' me and not big fluffy you, because the Manx is the featured kind of kitty this week....says Dancer.
Featured cat of the week....hm-mmm....well, alright, how much did you pay them, Stupid?
I didn't have to pay them to be number ONE cat today,  says a smiling Dancer.
Well, then, you must know somebody there then.
I do not!  You're just jealous!...Dancer spat at Mawse.
Am not.
Am so.
Am not either.
Am too.
Jealous?  Me?  Of YOU?  I don't think so.  Besides I am pick of the day for diaries.  
Your vocabulary stinks and you are stupid.
~*~Jealous, ~*~ jealous, ~*~ jealous!~*~ Dancer sings.

Then, the fight was on.

(I printed this on both diaries today as I wanted to remind them how stupid they both are.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay...something weird is going on here.  I am a lucky cat as I have lots of nice toys and I keep them exactly where I want them to be...which is everywhere in the house on the floor!  It is very handy that way as when the mood strikes when I am walking across the room, I can just fall over and starting kicking and mauling one of my toys.  Really handy.  They are in corners and the middle of the floor and here and there, whcih is my personal choice.
Well,....evidently it was not Mommies personal choice as suddenly they were all gone!!!  They just disappeared.  I ran here and there and there wasn't one darn toy to play with.  HEY....WHAT IS GOING ON HERE????  I WANT MY TOYS!!!
I didn't say antything to anyone here as I thought just maybe I was having a hallucination!  NO TOYS!!!
Well, I said to myself, "I better think about this one," and headed for my scratching post bed and  "Screech!!!!"  There was something there that had not been there before!  (Gads, I hate surprises!)  I crunched down into my 'super sneak' position, and crept carefully up to the thing. 
<I><B><U>EE-EEEEEEE-EEEEEKK!!!!</I></B></U>
Who has been messing with my toys?  They were all piled up neatly inside this stupid basket!!!  No wonder I couldn't find them!  Who has the nerve to mess with my private toy stock?  Who would even dare to think about it?  Did Mawse pull this one on me...did she think that was funny?  Well, she better watch it or I will really show her how really tough I can be.  <b>NO MERCY!</b>
I decided to tell her too.
So I did.
So she laughed.
I wanted to know what was so darn funny.
She told me.
"Do you  think you're tough enough to kick Mom's butt?"  Mawsie said.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Ultra Stupid Cat of the Year, Mom's the one who put your toys in the basket, not me!"
"Oops..."
Well, I didn't really mean that anyway.  I was just kidding.
I kind of like the basket...nice touch.  Perfect place to store them.   Real handy when I need to grab one of them to play with.

Mom keeps saying something about 'if only she would put them back in'..to Dad.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man are things lookin' up around here!  I am getting the entertainment of my life!  There are some very small critters that have seemed to come with the warm weather!  Mom  calls them "Bugs!"
They are lots of fun and very delicious!  YUM!
I can catch them like crazy!  They crawl real slow and so I talk to them and let them know what they are in for.

"Gonna tear your head off, you creep!"
"You've got one minute to live, you dastardly beast!"
Gr-rrr...purr-rrr...
R-rrrowl-ooowl...

Ping!  I jump up in the air and land on it's little head!  I am airborne for about two seconds and then, smash!  It's over!
Then I dine on my prey.
Okay, so don't go getting sick like Mommy does.  They really do taste mighty good!
I was laying on the floor last night and one of them sneaked up on me.  All of  a sudden, I felt this tickling sensation on my paw.  I looked and one of them was attached firmly on my toes!  I shook and shook and the stupid thing wouldn't come off!  I backed up a couple of feet and shook and finally it came off!  Sticky little critters!  Well, needless to say, it was all over for that bug!
I don't know why Mommie sat there and laughed.  Doesn't she know I am saving her butt from these awful, smelly critters?  I take my job seriously!

I love my job!  It is pure entertainment!]]></content:encoded>

I wonder where everybody went.

This is <I>not</i> the way to play this game.

"Hey, is anybody listening?"

"MEOW."

"MEOW-MMMY!!!!"

"Hm-mmmm...."

That didn't work.

Scratch, scratch....

"YE-OOOWL!"

Doesn't anybody even notice that I am missing?

Scratch...tear rip...scratch.

I could starve out here.  It will get dark and scary out here in this room.

"Me-elp!"

Pat...pat...pat...pat.....pat......

Is that footsteps I hear?

"You silly little girl.  What are you doing in there?"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is just one of those days...
Looking out the window, it is just one of those daffydilly days.  The sky is bluer than a Siamese cats eyes!  There's a tiny whisker of wind and  mousey brown ground....with hidden treats under it.  The grass is so close I can hear it pushing on the ground, wanting to break loose for Spring!  There is an essence of flowers...
little wild ones that poke their heads up at about that time that kids go crazy looking for eggs and candy and stuff!  Where are the butterflies?  And the Robins and the Meadowlarks?   They should be here soon with their little suitcases full of worms and twigs and stuff.  I am not sure what they bring, but if I were a bird, that is what I would put in my suitcase.  I wouldn't even mind a Spring shower...as long as I don't get wet.   There's little patches of snow on the hillside that are melting down to nothing...just a trickle, to water the flowers to come.
<B>I love Spring!</b>
Maybe Mom will let me venture out the door today.  I want to smell <I>everything!</i>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I kind of feel sorta bad today.  Mom said that Mawsie has 515 looks at her page and mine has only 186.  Don't people think I am cute?
Mom said I will get more looks as the time goes on....that Mawsie has been on longer than me, but, I still wonder....
I keep wishing someone would give me some paws or send me a treat, but, none of that either.  Am I just the ugly step child or something?  Maybe Mawsie is right, maybe I do look stupid with no tail.
It has just been a sad day for me.  Gloomy and sad.
I think I will go hide under the bed.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am so tired of Mawsie giving me such a bad time about having no tail.  Well...I told her that  I am a Manx and they are the featured cat of the week...so there!
She always says I look stupid with no tail or that I froze it off!  She is so mean!
One of these days she is going to get her tail caught in the door and I am going to laugh my head off!  And, besides I do too have a tail...it is very short and has a curl in it.  Mom says it is cute.  Mom is delighted to have me for her kitten and she says she has never had a Manx before.  She has been wanting one, since she saw some at her niece's place.  And just like that, I showed up on her doorstep!  Ta Da!  It was just meant to be.
I think  Mawsie's tail is stupid besides.  It isn't very fluffy and has spots on it, so what is the big deal anyway?
I am happy with no tail.  And I <U>didn't </U> freeze it off!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Aunt Gale lives over in Jefferson city.  I haven't met her yet.  I just moved in here awhile ago.  Mommie says she has a dog and a cat.   The dog is Suzie Q and the cat is Mr. T.....T is for Trouble cuz that is what he is, nothing but.
She is very nice.  She shares her bowl of cereal with her dog every morning. 
 Now, isn't that sweet?  I wonder if I could train my Mommie to do that?
Well, this morning, she must have been feeling pretty hungry as she decided to eat it all herself.  She said the dog was laying on the bed in the other room,  snoozing away, dreaming dog dreams of chasing cats, hunting  and dog bones.  (Or whatever a dog dreams of.)  Usually the minute she hears the cereal box rustle, she wakes up and runs in for her share.  
Well....Aunt Gale tiptoed on her tippy toes, into the pantry with her bowl and carefully and quietly, poured the cereal into the bowl, just barely a flake at a time.....so it wouldn't wake up Suzie Q, the dog.   Sh-hhhh....  She then, tiptoed to the refrigerator and poured the milk in, a drop at a time....sh-hhhh....
Perfect, no dog.  And she ate quietly, no slurps, no crunches  (Sh-hhhh...)...and the dog didn't have a clue.  It was the perfect set up.....no dog, no sharing. 
 I wondered why she just didn't stay in the pantry to eat....it might have been simpler.  
That just shows you how dumb dogs are....a cat would have <I>known.</i>
Cats RULE!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has a new game.  Here she is, 60 years old and she seems to think she can beat me down the stairs.....it is hilarious to see an old woman run like that.  I sure hope she doesn't break her neck!
I don't know why she wants to play that game....I am so young, sleek and fleet footed and I can run like the wind!  She is about 20  pounds overweight and has these big size 8 feet...mine are tiny and dainty and have long claws to get a good grip on the carpet.   But, if it makes her happy....
I try to be nice and once in awhile I let her win.  She thinks that is just all kinds of fun!  She gets down there and tells Dad, "I won!"  I think he knows that I let her win but he just smiles and tolerates her dumb game.  I also think that he thinks she has totally lost it!  But, he is being too nice to say so.
So now we have 'Hide and Seek' and 'Beatcha Down the Stairs' for family entertainment.    I also caught her sniffing my catnip....said something about she wonders why it makes cats so weird....."Cats are weird?"   
Humph...we are not 60 years old and trying to beat a year old cat down the stairs.  I think that makes a rather big statement, don't you?  Or am I being too catty?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says there is gonna be a new contest with pictures for Valentine's Day.   She is trying to get some new pictures of me.  Now, why does she do that?  She knows darn well, I can't sit still for more than 3 seconds?    By the time the camera does it's light up the room thingy, I am gone!  She has pictures of thin air and pics of my foot and the floor where I <I>used</i> to be, but no pretty Valentine roses and hearts and stuff.  
She tried to get pics of me for the Christmas parade and it didn't work then, and it probably won't work now...unless I show her a little mercy....ha!
Did you ever have one of those things sparkle in your eyes?  It seems that the only time it happens is when she drags that camera thingy out.  She points it at me and next thing I know, I am walking around with major stars and sparkly things in my eyes and I can't see a darn thing for 5 minutes!  It is beyond irritating!  I am blind...just blind.  There are circle whirling around in bright colors and big, black spots and I stumble around like an old drunk sailor cat!  (My Daddy used to be a sailor cat.)  I hate it when that happens!
I don't know what a parade is either, do you?  I do know what a camera is....it's just a dang nuisance, is what it is!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is so easy to entertain Mommie.  She is so much fun!  We have a new game called hide and seek.  I sneak around to where she is at and stare at her for awhile and  she runs to hide.  I don't give her too much time to go hide as I might not find her!
As she rounds a corner I show up as fast as I can and she giggles!  Then, as she runs away to hide, I usually grab her around the leg with my little fat fuzzy paws.  Never ever do I put my claws out as this is all in fun!
She hides behind a cupboard or a chair and I peek around to see her.  She sometimes calls me Peeky Girl....and I call her Peeky Mom!  Then, she tries to run the other way, and I go really fast and catch her before she gets where she is going....she is the funniest human I have ever seen.  I didn't know humans could have a sense of humor.  She told Daddy I am her little comedian....she thinks I am so-ooo funny!
Like I said, she is so easy to entertain!  Silly Mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am laying here on my Mommy's lap helping her get her work done this morning...writing my diary.  She is so very funny!  She is trying to speak to me in Cat language....that is something to hear!  She absolutley slaughters Catese!  But, it is so very cute that she tries.  
I have a question for all of you...have you ever been really busy, mostly up to no good when all of a sudden there is a leak that springs from no where?  Our house seems to have that problem quite a lot.  It is usually when I am trying to terrify Mawse and get her in trouble.  Or like when I am scratching on the 100 year old couch.  Or when I am trying to get up on something that looks wonderful to me.
All of a sudden there will be a blast of cold water coming at me in a stream.  Usually hits me in the head and so far all I have done is run away really fast.  But, one of these times, I am going to hold my ground and try to figure out where that darn water comes from.  It's cold and it is winter and I hate cold water and winter!
By the way, what is a squirt gun?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I finally feel so much better!  Daddy took out my stitches so I didn't have to go back to the doc-terror!  I can really run and have some fun now!

Last night I was wound like a clock!  I went nuts and just had a ball.  Mom said I am crazy!  I ran up and down the stairs...I even stalked Mawse a bit,  just to bug her!  (Not smart but lots of fun!)  I love to bug her.  She gets irritated so easily and most of the time I can get Mawsie in big trouble.  But, I screwed up yesterday as Mawsie was on Mom's lap and I went over and hissed at her.  Mom bopped me on the head!
What is this?  Well, she didn't ring my bell, but I knew I better behave!  Well, dang, <I>that</i> didn't work!  I'll try it again today when Mom isn't looking and maybe, just maybe, I can make it so Mawsie gets bopped on the head, if I bug her enough!  Ha Ha!

Opps....Mawsie is heading for the kitchen.  That must mean Chow time!!!  Oboy!
See ya later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanted so badly to sleep on Mommie's bed last night, but it didn't work out that way.  I got to be there for a few minutes, but then, I am so darn nosey that I had to get off the bed to see what Mawsie was doing.  Boy, was that a stupid thing to do!  I never got to get back on!  Mawsie spent the whole night there.   Phooey!
I guess if I weren't so darn curious, I would have gotten to stay there.

Mawsie is my big sister.  She is so-ooo beautiful with her big blue eyes.  Mine are just a sort of hazel yellowish color...nothing special.  Her fur is pretty with lots of white and she is so big and glamorous.  I wish I could look like that.  Mom told me, "Don't worry.  You will be a beautiful cat too."  She thinks I am pretty now.  It is hard to be the little sister.  Mom said she was the little sister too and that she was jealous cuz her sisters were always so beautiful and glamorous.  She said that true beauty is inside and that I am extra pretty cuz I am so very nice.  I think my Mommy is pretty, but she says she is just a wrinkled up old woman.  I don't think so.  She is my fairy god-mother and to me she is the prettiest girl in the whole world!  Maybe that is because she is so nice?  I think I will try extra hard to be nice and then I will be beautiful too!

But, I still wish I had blue eyes.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am one of the happiest cats in the whole world right now!!!  My Mommie is ho-ooome!!!    And I am on her lap bothering her in any way I can!!!    And she is touching me and talking to me and I am so-oooo happy I could purr my fur off!!!
 
She has been gone for several days for a funeral...don't know what that is, but I think my Daddy's mommy died...us cats have 9 lives so we don't often have to worry about things like that.    I am wiggling so much right now that my Mommie has set me on the floor two times already...I think she might throw me down there next time if I get up there again!    She is mumbling in that funny way that humans do right now...something about can't I just sit still???  Well, of course, I can't sit still...she ought to know that...that is why she called me Dancin' Girl!!! Silly MOM!!!

I see where Mawse is pick of the day again...hm-mmm, I wonder if they just don't like me or what?  I think I am cute and so does Mommie.
Well, I just wanted to tell everybody how really, really happy I am.
Hooray!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a purr-fect day it is!  I didn't get to sleep in Mom's room and cuddle with her last night...Mawsie did, but that's okay.  I got to sleep on their nice old couch that is so pretty!  It's kinda hard but it is just purr-fect for me with my sore tummy!
And right now...things couldn't be any more purr=fect than they get!  I am sitting on Mom's lap,taking my morning spit bath.  And once in awhile I try to help with the typing when her fingers get to flying away....looks a bit like the birds I used to try to catch!  All kinds of fun!  Mom does that human  giggle thing in her throat...while I am doing my purring.  She tries to purr sometimes...it is just the most funniest thing in the world!  She can be pretty silly for an old human!
I just can't seem to get close enough to her this morning cuz I missed cuddling with her.  I push as hard as I can near her heart...so I can hear that soft pitty pat sound inside of her.  She's so soft.  She doesn't have much fur....it's on top of her head and all whitish colored.  Her eyes are brown and she looks at me so sweetly.  
I am pretty sure she loves me a lot.  This is what love is all about, cuz I sure do love her, too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am starting to feel lots better now.  My tummy still hurts, but not nearly as bad. 
I have a bunch of tiny toys that I love to play with.  I can jump higher than Supercat and I'm faster than a speeding leopard!   I love to play cuz it makes my Mommy giggle and laugh that funny sound that humans make!  She's really funny!!
We have a super slick floor inthe area where the humans eat their food and I can get going about 90 miles per cat hour on it!  Man, is that fun!  My best trick is playing Pee-a-boo with Mommy now.  She will be sitting on the couch being quiet and I will sneak around the arm of it and peek at her.  She must be scared, cuz she ducks back and I can't see her face.  So, I peek around the top of the arm and she ducks again!  It is so fun to scare her like that!
And I got to stay in her room again last night!  I heard Mawse digging at the door, trying to get in.  I bet she is madder than an old wet cat!  Mom must have petted me for an hour or more.  Her hand sure looks like a mouse so I played a cat and mouse game.  I was having so darn much fun that I rolled over and fell off the bed.  Or maybe she pushed me...I dunno.  I felt sorta stupid but I got back on and tried to lay on her chest.  Then her hand got to playing mouse again so I just <B>had</b> to tackle it again!
Yup, I fell off again.
Well, I sure did sleep good.  I had wonderful dreams of playing and mousing and petting and I must say, it is one fine day!!!  Every day just gets better and better.   This indoor cat thing is the BEST!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The new year begins tomorrow.  I am looking forward to spending this new year with my wonderful new family.  I am a lucky cat!  
My Mommie has been giving me special treats to eat, since I am not feeling very good.  My tummy still hurts so-oo very much.  It hurts  to get up on things, then it hurts to get down.  Mommy is afraid to pick me up because she doesn't want to hurt me.  And then, yesterday Meanie Mawse picked on me and made me <B>really </b> hurt.   I really cried although I don't want to be such a baby.  But, I did have to giggle, because Mom put Mawse out in the shop where it is cold!  She was in the cathouse BIG TIME!
I hope I never ever have to see a doc-terror again, never ever!
I want to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I finally got to come back home from getting "fixed".   Now, I know what that means and I am not very happy about it!  My tummy is so very sore and Mawsie was right...they stick you with this very sharp claw thing...Mom says it is a needle.  Man, does that hurt!  Then, all of a sudden I was taking an unscheduled nap!
When I woke up, everything on me hurt and I couldn't even stand up right.  I slept an awfully long time!  Finally, this morning my Mom and Daddy came to get me!  I was never so glad to see anyone in my whole life!
I found out also what a Vet is.  and now I know what it means....<B>Very  Evil  Temper!</b>  That man is meaner than Mawse is!!!  And I think they pronounce doctor wrong too.  It <I>should be </i><B> doc-terror!</b>
I have stitches in my little tummy.  The doc-terror told Mom that the stitches will need to come out in ten days and that she could do it or bring me back in.  Well, when the doc-terror said Mom could do it, she turned a few colorful shades of green and  said,  "I don't think so!"  So, I suppose I will have to go back to that horrible place again.  I just hope they don't ever leave me there again.  That place is scary!
I have been getting up on Mommies lap while she is typing this for me....she is giving me so much love.  I really appreciate it a lot!  She also bought me more kitty treats and some good food that comes in a can!  I have never had that stuff before...boy, this indoor cat stuff is getting to be better all the time!
I think she feels really sorry for me.  That's okay, 'cuz I do too!
Well, it is time for a bit of a nap.  I really didn't think I would ever be tired again after that long sleep, but for some reason, I am getting sleepy again.
Meow for now!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommie found out today that I am much older than she thought!  She called the lady  where I used to live and she said that I was born in August of last year.....
EEEEEE-EEEEEK!  I AM ALMOST A YEAR OLDER THAN MOMMIE THOUGHT!
I liked it better the other way...I am a lady ya know, and no one should really be discussing my age anyway.  I knew how old I was and I much preferred to keep it to myself!  Now EVERYBODY knows, cuz it's online for all to see!  Oh, tootsie rolls!
Then, she called that doctor fellow today too...it doesn't look too good.  I think they are taking me there on Wednesday morning.  I wonder where I can hide in this house.  If Mawsie were a better friend, I would ask her...but she still just wants to hiss at me!  I am scared!
Wonder what "fix" is?  I think I am fixed just fine.  Mawsie said they will probably give me a shot.  She said a shot is when the doctor guy pulls out this great big huge claw and sticks me with it and it hurts!  Mawsie is mean to scare me like that.  I have never had a shot before or a fix....Yup...it is time to find a hidey hole!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just couldn't believe my eyes on Christmas Day!  I have to tell you all about it!
When all the big people showed up, there was a lot of confusion and Mom had not yet put me in the shop.  (Didn't want to be demoted to the shop again anyway!)
But....there was  thing in a long cage.  It was all brown and furry and it had a tail....big brown eyes...and a long sloppy tongue!  It was real-llly long.  I swear it was as long as our couch, almost!  It seemed to speak in a foreign language...possibly German would be my guess.    When people picked it up, it almost hung to the floor!  Weird little critter...really weird!  It was pretty dumb too.  Seemed like it didn't have a brain in it's head.  Looked a lot like those weiner things Mom cooks up for her and Dad.  Or maybe sort of like the tootsie rolls in my litter box.  Sure don't know what it was.  I heard someone say dog.  Now we used to have dogs at my other place, but they looked like REAL dogs, not hotdogs!
Boy, the world just seems to get more complicated every day!
Then, I heard someone say something about a Doc Hund.  Hm-mmm...Mom said I have to go tp the Doctor...sure hope I don't have to visit with that stupid acting thing!  
I really don't want to be mean, so please forgive me...but I am so confused!
I think I like cats much better...even Mawsie who hates my guts.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Na na nana!  Ha ha!  Mawsie thought that she was the only one who would get her diary done today, but, Mom's doing mine too!  Ha ha!
I had such a nice Christmas...I got two new toys and this wonderful stuff called turkey!  No wonder Mawse says she loves turkey!  I love it too!  I even got more of it today!  I hope they have turkey every single day of the year!  I don't know why, but my new Dad is gagging already at the thought of another bite of turkey!  Maybe he is not as smart as I thought he was!
Yesterday, we had a house full of very short human people.  My Mom said she loves to have the grandchildren over...is that what a grandchild is?  A really short human?  Mom sure got mushy with them...kissing and hugging all day.  Then, there were more tall people, some of them boys and some of them girls.  I guess the pretty one with blondish red hair is my half sister.  I liked her a lot, but was afraid of having all those people in here at once.  Mom put me back out in the shop when she saw I was afraid...well, that wasn't very nice!  My half sister came out to visit with me several times...I finally consented to leting her pet me.  She touches me so softly and sweetly!  Yup, I think I will like her for a sister!
I am feeling so very strange.  It seems as though all I can do is talk and dance.  I mean really, REALLY  dance!  Mom said she thinks I am in heat.  Wonder what 'heat' is?  And she says I will need to go to the doctor...what is a doctor?  I don't know, but I don't think I am going to like it at all.  There was some mention of going for a ride in the truck.  Egads...that truck thing is so big and noisy...I don't want to do that either!  There's a lot of odd things about being a house, indoor cat...some of them very nice and some of them don't look like they are going to be much fun at all.  But, we will see.
I hope your Christmas was just totally purr-fect!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dang, but I wanted to sleep on Mom's bed last night.  I kept going in there and nosing around...purring my little soft purr...and that mean big Mawse did the low (I hate you) growl in her throat every time.  So, I ended up on her favorite chair instead.  Mean, fat cat!
I get so darn lonely at night.  No one is there to assure me that I am as cute as can be.  No one to pet me...gads it is lonely at night.  I don't know why humans need to sleep like that all night.  It isn't a good idea anyway.  I used to live outdoors and the<B> Last</b> thing you want to do is sleep all night....there are boogeycats out there!!!  And they will get you!  I have a small scar on my ear to prove it!
I was so-ooo glad when Mom got up at 5 A.M.  She usually sleeps so much longer.  I did my little 'happy to see you' dance while she made the coffee.  Rolled around on the floor and tried to catch her feet so she would pet me.  I sat with her in the girls room while she used her litter box and told her how lonely I was all night.  She's a good girl...she has never missed using the cat box...just like me!!!
I felt a little bit dumb this morning.  She came up to use the computer and I was laying on the desk, singing and rolling around....all of a sudden I landed on the floor, nearly busted my poor little head!  I am not sure if she pushed me or what, but there I was!  I took off running for the door...scared the fur off of me!  I heard her laughing...now pray tell, what is so funny about a cat busting her little head and losing a bit of her dignity?  Tsk!
Well, it looks as though it is time to go back down the stairs to the kitchen.  I wonder what kind of treats she has for me?  Something yummy, I hope!
Meow till later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowwee Meowie!!!  Here I am!  Mom got a new camera today and she took some pics of me!  Ain't I sumpin'?  Mom tried real hard to get some better pics of me, but she was gone to town most of the day and I was just so very glad to see her that I just couldn't sit still!!!  Maybe that is why she calls me Dancin' Girl.
I am Mawsie's little unwanted sister.  Mom thinks I am darling, even if Mawse doesn't!
I love to visit with Mom when she does her computer thing...she is hilarious as she gets pretty wild when I dance all over the keyboard thingy!  Silly Mom!
I sure like being a member of a family that lives indoors.  Pretty cool!  And I have toys and a box of my very own and food and fresh water and it is so-ooo warm in here...man, life is good!!
Thank you for taking the time to see me.  I love people so much!  I just get so excited about everything that I have to do a little tap dance!   In fact, I like the cha-cha a lot too!!
Meowry Christmas!]]></content:encoded>
