Thank you Samoa; I am truly honored to be in the company of all your other distinguished Dreamboats, Dreamboats in Training, and Angel Dreamboats. I was glad to see you chose my Cat in the Clover photo for one of your featured pics of me in your diary, that one is a purrsonal favorite of mine. And yes, I still love to shred paper! In honor of Super Bowl Sunday, I decided to huddle with Luke, Tully, and Natasha this morning and run some patterns and plays in Mommy and Daddy’s bedroom in the wee hours of the morning. While it was still dark in the house, Mommy heard one of us zooming up and down the hallway, back and forth, back and forth. Yep, it was me. Soon after, Natasha, Tully, and Luke were all chasing me down the field and it sounded like a herd of elephants was running through the house. We took over the ball at the 20-yard line and I took the snap, passing to Natasha. She made a leap grab and went for the touchdown – SCORE! Mom was not amused. She finally got out of bed and fixed us our breakfast. I can’t wait to watch the Super Bowl!

Alfie and dear family, Pipo and Minko, and Simba and Kewlest Catster Kitties Group for the beautiful birthday mementos. We are officially 2 years old now. Mom has been hesitant to post anything in my diary about my health status and those yucky bladder crystals that have been bothering me. The first time she thought that I was getting better I had a relapse and had to go back to the vet for more fluids and shots. I didn’t start on prescription food right away, and that is what I needed to get these nasty things out of me. I’m drinking a lot more water because of the food and that is helping me get better. Thanks to everyfur who gave advice and shared their experiences with FLUTD with us, that helped us more than you’ll ever know. I’m hoping that my worry wart Mom will stop spying on me while I’m in the litterbox. She watches me all the time and that makes me nervous, so now she’s trying to be sneaky about it. She thinks I can’t see her, but I know she’s there watching me. Can’t a kitty get a little privacy? Sheesh. Mom and I appreciate all the purrs and support from our furiends, we don’t know what we’d do without you.

After reading Skippy's tag answers, ... Skippy Skipster tagged me to play - yippee! After reading Skippy's tag answers, I'm a little embarrassed to post mine - MOL! Skippy said that he sleeps all night and he never tears things up - is that even possible? I thought ALL kitties like to tear things up! I'm going to look really bad in comparison to my pal, Skippy, but here it goes: 1. Do you ever wake your parent up during the night? - Oh, yes we do...all the time! Our playtime is Mom and Dad's sleepy time so we wake them up just about every night. Notice I said "we." It's a team effort - Luke, Tully, Natasha, and I love to run around and chase each other at night. We don't mean to wake them up; I guess they are just light sleepers! 2. Do you ever tear up things? - Oh boy, do I ever! Mom even calls me the "Demolition Expert." Demolition is my special area of expertise. I shred papers with a vengeance - newspapers, toilet paper, and paper towels are my favorites - I eat them, too! Fiber - yummy! 3. What is your favorite treat? - I love just about everything. I love nom noms and I'm not too picky, but I especially love chicken and turkey that Mom gives us a few times a week as a treat. 4. Can you fetch something when asked to do so? - I don't really fetch things on command but I will catch the fly on the end of our FlyToy fishing rod when Mom or Dad plays with me. I catch it in my mouth and will not let go. One time I even ate the fly - it was yummy! 5. Have you ever lived any place other than where you live now? - Me and my sis, Natasha, lived in a foster home before our furever Mommy adopted us. Our foster Mom told furever Mom that we were found in a dumpster when we were 4 weeks old and taken to the SPCA. A rescue group got us out and took care of us until we were almost 3 months old. That's when Mommy found us and brought us to our furever home last December. We were her Christmas presents - Merry Christmas, Mom! I am going to tag my sis, Natasha, and anyfur who would like to play!

Thanks, Skip! This is a game to know yo ... Skippy Skipster! Thanks, Skip! This is a game to know your friends better, so here it goes: 1. What time do you go to bed? --- I like to power nap in the afternoons. I crash on my cat tree the entire afternoon out in the patio room – zzzzzzz. I’m starting to sleep most of the night now that I’m getting older, but I’m usually awake and playing by 4 a.m. to Mom’s dismay. I walk across her on the bed and start licking her face and giving her sandpaper kisses. It’s my way of saying “Hey Mom – WAKE UP.” It usually works – hehe. 2. What is your favorite gift you have received and why? --- Finding my forever home was a gift. Me and my sis, Natasha, were rescued from a dumpster when were 4 weeks old, so we’ve had lots of angels looking out for us :) 3. What’s your favorite way to wake up and what’s the first thing you do? --- I like to yawn and stretch and roll onto my back to show Mommy my furry tummy. I’m quite fluffy on my belly. 4. What would you call yourself if you could choose your own name? --- I think Sammy suits me. Dad chose the name because he had 2 cats when he was growing up, both named Sammy, and he’s a sentimental kind of guy. He also said that I reminded him of the singer Sammy Hagar with my long reddish-blond hair – rock on! 5. What was the last thing you ate that you really shouldn’t have? --- I have always liked to shred paper and Mom has to empty all trash containers and hide the TP before she leaves the house – otherwise I will shred and eat anything that is made of paper... especially paper towels and kleenex tissue paper. Hey, Mom, it’s a good source of fiber! 6. What are you afraid of? --- I still get a little scared when Mom and Dad take us cats out in the moving house (Mom says it’s a "motor home"). It’s really big and loud and I don’t like it when it moves. Otherwise I’m not scared of much. 7. Do you have brothers and sisters? --- I have a sisfur, Natasha, who was adopted at the same time I was and is from the same litter as me. I also have 2 older brofurs, Luke and Tully. Tully is a mellow little dude, but Luke likes to put me in my place. He always likes to remind me that he is Top Cat in our house. 8. What is your motto in life? --- Sleep hard, play harder. 9. Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? --- I am already very famous – with my pawrents! 10. What cartoon or comic book character best describes you? --- Superman! Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall building in a single bound – that’s me! 11. What super-power would you most like to have, and why? --- I would like to be able to walk on ceilings. I can already climb walls, but I haven’t managed to walk on the ceiling just yet – MOL! 12. If you could play sports, what would you play and why? --- Snowboarding! I saw Shawn White (The Flying Tomato) during the Winter Olympics and he earned a gold medal after he did a maneuver called the Double McTwist 1260, a move with two back flips and 3 ½ rotations coming out of the half pipe – how cool is that? If you had fun reading my answers and would like to play along with me – tag, you’re it!

He wrote a diary entry entitled "Step Away from the Squirt Bottle!" I thi ... Newman! He wrote a diary entry entitled "Step Away from the Squirt Bottle!" I think he must have read my previous diary entry where I talked about Mom squirting me with water to prevent me from chewing on wires. You see, I am a naughty little orangie kitten. It goes with the territory. I’m cute as a button, but boy do I like to cause trouble! I climb walls, shred paper, chew electrical cords, and cause trouble wherever I go. Mom was getting frustrated with me. She decided to try the squirt bottle as a last resort to see if she could deter me from chewing. Well, Newmie says that’s not a good idea. I’m quoting his diary entry: “Squirt Bottles are a Terrible Cat Training Tool Professional trainers all agree that using a squirt bottle of water is NOT an effective way to discourage a cat from any behavior. All it really does is make him fearful of the spray bottle itself - NOT the activity he's doing when he gets squirted. Some cats will also bear resentment towards the person who wields the water gun, so not only does it not register to deter the unwanted behavior, it can also have a negative impact on your relationship with your cat." I have stopped chewing cords, at least for now. Mom doesn’t know if it was the squirt bottle that actually stopped me, but she’s very happy I’ve been a good boy for the past couple of days. Mom felt terrible whenever she squirt me, but getting electrocuted didn’t seem like such a good thing either! Thanks, Newmie, for sticking up for me! The Squirt Bottle has been retired!

I’m too busy eating, sleeping, and playing right now. What’s a Valentine? 2. If not... do you wish you did? ... Is there anyone particular? ...Or would you rather be single? ...Why? I’m happy being single right now. There’s a lot to do and explore in my new home. 3. What's your favorite Love Song? ... Who sings it? Since I am named after the rocker Sammy Hagar, I’d have to pick one of his songs…“Love Walks In” by Van Halen (when Sammy was the lead vocalist) is a cool song! 4. What would be a Perfect Valentine’s Day for you? I’m not sure what this Valentine’s Day is about yet. I’ll let you know next year!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/1084407/diary/Livin_it_up_with_sammy/647786 Sat, 9 Jan 2010 15:35:15 PST Sammy ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/1084407/diary/Livin_it_up_with_sammy/647786 Boy, did I get in big time trouble today.
