		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So Iâ€™ve been a pretty good boy. Can you believe it? Mom canâ€™t. Shes pretty sure Iâ€™m going to get into some major trouble soon. Anyway, nothing really new going on with me.  I had the zoomies this morning. Then I realized mom was going to work. Oh no! So I had to run infront of her. I blocked her from the door. She picked me up and brought me to my food. I donâ€™t want to eat! She turned around and started walking to the door again. NO!! Donâ€™t leave me! I ran infront of her and sat down infront of the door. She picked me up again, and put my on the table by the door. She started to pet me and I was purring up a storm. Then she said this to me: â€œIâ€™m sorry big boy, I have to go to work. Iâ€™ll see you when I get home. You be a good boy Loveyâ€ then she turned around and walked out the door.  OMG I was devastated. Who am I going to annoy all day?? So here I am, just hanging out waiting for my mom to come home. Its going to be a long day!

Pepz got some fishes from Auntie this week. Maybe heâ€™ll allow me to go fishing. Doesnâ€™t hurt to try!

Time to get into some trouble while I wait for mom to come home.

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

P.S Mom is starting to call me weird names. Sheâ€™ll say â€œHey you, yea you the one with the poofy tail, câ€™mereâ€ Do your parents call you weird names??]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, Hunty's Momma here. I just need to express how much my Hunter is like a dog. Actually he is worse than a dog. He is like a sick whiny kid who needs their mother all the time. He sleeps with me, now he eats with me (he always has to check out my breakfast) stays in the bathroom with me, has to walk infront of me constantly. He licks me all the time, whines if I'm not home, wakes me up daily for work (who needs alarm clocks?). I love Hunter, I do, its just sometimes I need space. Space to walk, space to breathe so I don't inhale fur, space to eat without a white furball checking out my cereal bowl. I don't think Hunter is the type that would do well, if I ever had to rehome him. Granite it would tear me apart, but I don't think he would do well at all. He isn't the independent type at all, although he walks around my house all smug like he is the king of the castle. 

Anyway, I guess I just needed to express that he is driving me nuts!! Maybe its the spring air...  ;)

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!

Hunty's Momma,
Kelly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good Morning Everyfur!! I'm feeling better!!! Yesterday was a fun day. I decided that I needed to run. Oh my Gosh, did I run!!! Alright so picture this; I ran from moms bed out the bedroom door, into the livingroom and onto Memz chair. I played Peek-a-boo with mom then ran up the chair, jumped down into Memz bedroom, over the bed, down on the other side, into the kitchen and I scaled up the 7 foot hutch all without flinching!! Mom was amazed. I jumped from the floor up to about 5.5 feet and then scaled the rest of the hutch. I got on top and layed down. I was pooped! 

After my little escapade, I took a nap. Mom went out and came back with lots of little bags of dog food. So mom opened one up, and gave a kibble to Teaka. Lamb with Chickpeas... ewww gross! She thought it was gross too, didn't touch it. Then mom opened another bag, Pork and Applesauce. She gave a kibble to Teaka, nope didn't like that one either. So while mom was opening another bag, I started eating the kibble. OMG Pork and Applesauce is wicked good!!! Mom heard me and said, "Oh of course Hunty, you wake up when you hear a bag come in the house" As you all know, its every cats duty to inspect all bags that enter your household! Its the law! I batted moms hand, I wanted another kibble. She gave me 5 Pork and Applesauce dog kibbles. So yummy!!!  (Mom doesn't feed me dog food, but finds it funny that I eat it)

After the kibble, I was being really needy. I kept on trying to climb up mom, we cuddled, I licked her face, she pet me until I fell asleep. Oh boy I had a great evening with mom! I played with the monster underneath the covers. Overall I had a fabulous Sunday. 

I gotta go, maybe I'll attempt to go fishing today. I haven't done that in a long, long time!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good Morning Everyfur! I guess I should be happy that I am a DDP, but I donâ€™t feel so good. I got sick last night. It was mainly a hairball. Since then, havenâ€™t really been myself. I ate a little bit last night, used my litter box. But I wasnâ€™t being bad. Thatâ€™s how mom knows I donâ€™t feel good. Mom woke up this morning and I was on the bed with her, but I didnâ€™t want to cuddle. I didnâ€™t want mom to pet me. I just wanted to be alone. So I went into the kitchen to look outside. Mom came out of the shower and I was waiting for her. We went into the bedroom and I used my scratch post, then layed down on the floor. Mom got ready for work and then it was time for breakfast. Mom put some Eagle Pack transition in my food to maybe help me out a bit. I had a few bites but that was about it. I didnâ€™t run after mom while she was walking to the door, didnâ€™t meow at her, didnâ€™t ask to be picked up. Ugh, today is just not my day! Mom left a note for Memz to watch me today to see how Iâ€™m doing. Hopefully Iâ€™ll be better when mom gets home from work. 

Thanks for all the DDP pressies!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my friend Sleeper tagged me in this Spring Tag. I can't just pick 5 friends to tag, so you're all tagged! Go ahead and copy my diary answers and replace them with your own! Lets get Spring started!!

Five Things I Like About Spring:

1. Having the windows open!!
2. When mom accidentally lets a bug in the house. Then the hunt is on! 
3. Rolling around on the floor in a warm sun puddle!!
4. Chattering at all the birds, bugs, squirrels and Chippy the chipmunk.
5. And last but not least, When mom holds me and brings me outside while she brings in the dog. Its the best!!  

Alright guys, now its your turn. Tell me what you like about spring! Tag, you're it!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hiya everyfur! Mom suggested I write in my diary today since I havenâ€™t in a long while. Lets see, oh Memz was really really sick for a couple of weeks. Mom didnâ€™t sleep with me for 2 whole weeks! I gave her the cold shoulder for a little bit. But now weâ€™re back to normal. Memz is getting better. Thank Goodness. Mom was crying a lot. Luckily Memz is strong and is getting better everyday! Pepz is okay. He was upset for a few days since Memz was really sick, but he is getting better too!  Auntie doesnâ€™t come over all that much anymore. She had a new baby and is now really busy with all 3 of moms nieces! Teaka is still a tattletale!! Sometimes she smells, so I have to lick her. Other than that, shes okayâ€¦ for a dog.

Mom got a new position at work. She hasnâ€™t started yet, but that means Iâ€™m going to be all screwed up!! She is going to start work later, and get home later. I donâ€™t like that idea at all!! Mom said that its okay, sheâ€™ll make it work.  

I on the other hand, have been a brat!! I just want the windows open. Iâ€™m sick and tired of being cooped up in this house with no fresh air! Its all moms fault. I tell her I want the windows open, and she keeps on telling me that its still too cold out. So then I told her to get a fur jacket like me. She didnâ€™t like that comment too much. I have found that Memz chair is fun to climb on. Memz doesnâ€™t mind. She thinks Iâ€™m such a good boy. 

I got sick last night. It was a hairball, but food ended up coming with it. Mom didnâ€™t get mad at me. She cleaned the rug and went back to bed. Thank Goodness I didnâ€™t get sick on the bed. Iâ€™ve done that before. Ohhhh, mom got a new car. Its an SUV. I havenâ€™t been in it yet, but Iâ€™ve seen it. Mom is already having issues with it, so its back to the dealership today. It seems like I havenâ€™t spent that much time with mom. So during the night I end up crawling on her and sheâ€™ll pet me and weâ€™ll cuddle. I love cuddle sessions with mom! Anyway, I have to go lick Teaka. She smells again! Ugh, a man cats work is never done.

Hope everyone had a great Easter and thank you for all the pressies!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so yesterday mom brought me to the vet. I knew it was yesterday so I greeted mom at the door when she came home from work. She brought my carrier into the bedroom with me and closed the door. Then she got out the treats. Iâ€™m no fool. She put the treat in my carrier, way in the back. Does she think I look stupid?? I didnâ€™t get it. I could take it or leave it. Wasnâ€™t my favorite treats anyway. After about 10 minutes of trying to get me to go into my carrier. Mom picked me up and put me in. I kinda fussed a little bit. But overall, it wasnâ€™t traumatic. Then, mom put me in the car. I whined a couple of times. Mom always says I sound pathetic. Thank goodness its only a 5 minute car ride to the vets. I started to smack my lips together. I got carsick once when I was a kitten. Anyway, we got out of the car and walked into the office. We are always taken in right away.

The lady checked my weight, asked mom some questions and I just sat there on the scale, petrified to move. She said that Dr. Carlson will be with us shortly, and she left. Mom picked me up and we cuddled. About 3 minutes later the vet dude came in. That was it, I knew what he was going to do, I jumped out of moms arms and ran into my carrier. He and mom talked for a couple of minutes, then mom pulled me out of the carrier. Ugh! So I let him poke me, feel me, check my eyes, ears, nose, and then he got to my mouth. Said I need a dental cleaning! Oh geezâ€¦ Its not my fault that I have bad teeth! Anyway, he kept on petting me. I was getting irritated. He flipped me over and had to search for myâ€¦ man parts. Its not my fault I have a lot of fur! He commented on my pink paw pads. Yes theyâ€™re pink! No, Iâ€™m not a girl! He called me good looking to make up for it. Dude, I already know Iâ€™m a good looking mancat. No need to tell me. Mom tells me all the time. He told mom I have muscles of an athlete. Noâ€¦ really? I am the athlete of the family! The vet dude was getting on my nerves.

Finally he let go of me and I ran to mom. She picked me up and I didnâ€™t want her either. I was done! I jumped over her shoulder, onto her back and jumped on the floor. I whined, and went into my carrier. I stayed there while the vet dude talked to mom for a while.  I donâ€™t like the vet dude all that much anymore. The vet ladies donâ€™t poke and pet me all that much. But, mom likes the vet dude because he makes much more sense than the vet ladies. Anyway, the vet dude told mom that I am a very good looking boy, and that shes doing a great job! My mom is the best, I already knew that. 

It was time to go home! Thank goodness. We went in the car and when I got in the house, I walked around for a little bit. Teaka sniffed me. I ran up my cat tree and into my bed. I was exhausted! So that is what really happened at the vets, from my point of viewâ€¦

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Hunter made it out alive. It was a bit of a struggle getting him in the carrier. Anyway Hunter now weighs 10 pounds. The vet said that was ideal for him. Said he has muscles like an athlete. Everything looked good besides his teeth. Hunter needs a dental cleaning. He's only 3!!  The vet said that he probably has weak enamel and that he'll need more frequent cleanings. Great. That's $500 I have to find before the summer. I'm a little nervous about him going under. But I'm not going to worry about that now. I have to focus on finding the money for it. 

The vet kept on petting him. He has no heart issues. Eyes, ears, nose all look good. The vet mentioned Hunters fur, how it feels like a rabbits fur.  I told him that I can't brush him because Hunter won't really let me.  I also mentioned how I think Hunter is part Turkish Van. The vet said that he is either part Turkish Van or Turkish Angora because of his coat.  I knew it!! 

Anyway, Hunter has a clean bill of health!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh man. Tomorrow is the day. Do you know what happens tomorrow?? Mom brings me to the vets! I donâ€™t really know why Iâ€™m going. Iâ€™m perfectly healthy. I tried telling this to mom yesterday and this morning. We had a conversation about it. She doesnâ€™t see my point, and told me its just for a check up. Yea well Iâ€™m not stupid. They poke me, check my teeth, eyes, you guys know. Iâ€™m hoping she is just lying to me. Its not really official until mom takes out my carrier. Normally she takes it out a week in advance so I get used to it. Not this time. So thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m not really sure Iâ€™m actually going. She says I am though, and is going to take out my carrier tonight. Oh geezâ€¦  I donâ€™t wanna go!! Mom said that Iâ€™ll be seeing Dr. Carlson. She told me â€œYou like Dr. Carlson, Hunty. Remember he called you a good boy and did knuckles on your head.â€ Oh yea I remember him alright. He was lucky I didnâ€™t chew his hand off! I remember I wanted to show him that I give my mom facials. He didnâ€™t even pay attention to me!! The only reason why Iâ€™m allowing mom to bring me, is that Iâ€™m going to tell him Iâ€™m an official Dreamboat now. I think heâ€™ll be proud to hear that. Other than that, I have no reason to go! 

Just the thoughts of it makes me want to cough up a hairballâ€¦

Someone save me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I swear it wasnâ€™t my fault!!! Mom came home from work yesterday and let Teaka go outside. I was sleeping. The minute I hear the slider door open, Iâ€™m up and in the kitchen. Hoping for a chance to escape. Anyway, Teaka came in and mom was playing with her. Mom walked into the bedroom and Teaka followed her. Then I followed her. Teaka wanted to play with me. She ran at me and poked me with her nose. That was it! Time for revenge. I sneakily walked around her, and pounced! She ran at me again and tried to nibble on my leg. Oh no she didnâ€™t!!! By this time, mom was trying to break us up! Mom walked into the livingroom and sat down. Teaka kept on running at me! So I pounced and wrestled with her on the floor. Mom tried to break us up again! Now, Teaka was getting scared of me. She kept on hiding behind moms legs. Coward!! So I just sat there, waiting for mom to move. Finally Teaka jumped on the couch and sat on mom. I crept closer to the couch and was batting Teaka with my paw. She tried to bite my paw!! My ears went back and I was ready to killâ€¦ Mom had to split us up. Teaka was on one end of the couch, and I was in the kitchen trying to kill the outside kitty through the slider. If Teaka pokes me again, thatâ€™s it, shes done for!!

I donâ€™t know whats up with Teaka and Hunter lately. Teaka initiates it, like she wants to play. But Hunter takes it to the next level. Kind of like, â€œI am king of the house, dog! Back awayâ€  They donâ€™t screech or yeowl, growl, or whimper. But Iâ€™m always afraid Hunter is going to hurt Teaka. He is larger than her, more flexible, has claws, and looks like he is going to hunt her down! I donâ€™t know.  I hope this doesnâ€™t become a normal routine around here. Would hate to have to separate them all the time.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It came in on Saturday! My favorite toy that is. You wont believe how excited I was. If I could of fit in the tube it came in, I would have. So mom took it out of the tube, and flicked it on the carpet. I instantly grabbed it in my mouth and sat there. Teaka was looking at me, sort of like staring me down. Its MY toy! So I growled and huffed at her. Back away dog!! Luckily she moved, so I walked into the kitchen with it. LOVE my toy. Itâ€™s the only thing I play with pretty much. 

Last night I kept on crawling all over mom. I would sit on her side and lick her face. Then I was kneading her hair and head. She said that hurts so she turned on the other side. I climbed on her again and layed down, licked her face. Then this morning, I climbed on her tummy and started to knead her shirt. She didnâ€™t like that much either. Finally she gave up. She was awake. I really wanted out of the bedroom so she opened the door for me. I didnâ€™t leave. I wanted to be with mom. I followed her into the bathroom, the kitchen, in the livingroom, and back into the bedroom. I stretched up and tapped her waist. She picked me up and I started kneading her shoulder. I was very needy this morning. 

Iâ€™ve been a pretty good boy lately. I had the zoomies this morning, but other than that, Iâ€™ve calmed down quite a bit from when I was younger. It only took 3 years! Of course I still run around like crazy. But Iâ€™m not climbing on curtains, Iâ€™m not balancing on glass shelves, I donâ€™t knock bowls off the counter. I donâ€™t chew on treat bags.  I am starting to be the perfect Gentleman! 

Next month isâ€¦ my annual check up. I donâ€™t wanna go!!! Maybe I can be bad on that day and escape.  Hmmm something to think about!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says Iâ€™m getting lazy. I donâ€™t want to wake up in the morning anymore. Now, mom wakes me up. Usually Iâ€™m nice about it and lick her face. But there are just those mornings where I want to stay in bed with her. Today was one of those mornings. I just lay there on the bed, on top of the covers, and trap mom. I lay right against her so she canâ€™t move. I eventually get tired of her petting me and get up on my own. I think she pets me like that on purpose so I do get up. 

I have destroyed my favorite wand toy, yet again. This is the 3rd one Iâ€™ve destroyed. Mom has to buy me a new one, as I keep on asking to play with it. Mom told me that it wasnâ€™t safe for me to play with anymore. I knew she threw it away, but I still want it. Its my favorite toy of all time! She threw it away 2 days go. I miss my toy.  So lately, Iâ€™ve been going into my hammock at the bottom of my cat tree. All of my toys are there. I lay on top of my toys and kind of rummage through which one I want to attack. This morning it was my new octopus toy that I got for my birthday. Then, I found my moppy kickaroo. I havenâ€™t played with that in forever! 

Anyway, mom just ordered my toy for me online. Iâ€™m so excited! I hope I get a good color this time. Its going to be a long couple of weeks without my favorite toy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got in a fight with Teaka the other day. It was more of like â€œIâ€™m head of household you muttâ€ sort of thing. It all started with kibble. I guess you can say the fight was moms fault. I didnâ€™t do anything wrong. Mom wont give me kibble. So I ate some of Teakas. Teaka doesnâ€™t like when I eat her food. She gets up and starts barking at me. Normally I look at her and then turn around and continue eating. Not this time. I turned around and looked at her. I crouched down, wiggled my bum and pounced! She was mad and trying to say that this is her house and her kibble. I told her that Iâ€™m obviously bigger than her, and that I am head of the house! I grabbed her jugular, and she had mine and we were rolling on the floor. We were both growling. Mom was at work, so she didnâ€™t see the fight. Memz was here though and somehow separated us. I won. Now, everytime Teaka comes near me, she lowers her head. Hehehe I am head of the house!! If I think shes okay, Iâ€™ll lick her head. No one got hurt during the fight. No blood, or fur chunks on the floor. Just good old fashion rolling around on the floor play wrestling!

This was our first fight, and probably our last. Just me and Teaka in the house so I wonâ€™t have to prove anything to anyone else. Unless Sam the lovebird escapes, then heâ€™ll just be lunch, so Iâ€™m not too worried about that.  

Well I gotta go, Its sunny outside so Iâ€™m going to sit on the back to the couch and look out the window. Maybe Iâ€™ll start chattering at some squirrels.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you everyone for my birthday wishes, pressies and comments! I had a pretty good day. I woke up late, and waited patiently for mom to wake up. Seemed like she slept forever. Well by the time she got up, I was taking a nap. She fed me breakfast and wished me a happy birthday when she saw me in the kitchen. We played and played all morning long. Then I took a long, long nap in the afternoon. Memz wished me a happy birthday, but I wasnâ€™t really feeling it. By the time mom was getting ready for bed, I became an instant love bug. 

Mom has to wait until she gets paid to buy me a pressie. Thatâ€™s okay. I donâ€™t need it right now. I have so many other toys to play with. Again, thank you everyone for my birthday wishes! I had a great day with mom.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night before bed, mom opened a can of Merricks BG Quail for dinner. She opened the lid and there was mold on the food!!! Mom wasn't sure if she was seeing things, so she looked again, yep, it was all fuzzy and green. Mom always inspects my food before she gives it to me. Thank Goodness! She threw it away and opened my buffalo from Addiction Foods. 

Becareful what you eat guys and girls. Hope the new year is treating you a-okay!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was kind of bad last night. I wasnâ€™t tired, when mom went to bed. I just woke up from a nap. I thought I would be nice for a couple of hours though and let her sleep. Then I had enough. It was definitely time to wake her up! So I went on her bureau and knocked things on the floor. I walked on mom and laid down on her. Then I started to lick her face. Thatâ€™s when she started getting mad. She picked me up and we cuddled. She told me that she had to get up in 4 hours and that she would be super grumpy if she didnâ€™t get any sleep. Well I thought I did a great job, mom was up, she was cuddling with me. Mission accomplished! You know what she did next? She rolled over and went back to sleep. Ugh! Unacceptable! So, I jumped off the bed, and went into the shopping bag that mom left in the corner of the room. Oh boy do I love bags! It was a loud paper bag so I was making tons of noise. Mom got up again and I jumped on the bed, and gave her headbutts. Do you know what time it was? 12:51am. Mom was getting really mad!! So she pulled the blankets over her head. Her arm moved under the covers so I attacked it! It was so much fun. Mom fell asleep again, and she was sleeping on her belly, so I crawled on her back and laid there. Then I started to knead her head and pull her hair with my mouth. Mom shot up and said â€œOw Hunter, Stop it!â€  I was getting sort of tired myself so I laid down next to mom and fell asleep. I think mom got about 4 hours of sleep total last night. She might be super grumpy today. I better be a good boy when she gets home from work.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was so proud of my Hunter not wanting any kibble and eating only wet food. Then I left him for about a week. I bought kibble as a backup only. Well my parents thought he ate kibble. Now, he wants kibble so much that he is eating the dog food, and leaving his wet food there. Ugh such a stupid mistake. I need to get rid of this kibble, but then again I don't want Hunter to get addicted to it either. 

Next time I go away, no kibble!! Cant wait until he finishes this bag. No more kibble for him.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was gone for almost a week!! I wasnâ€™t feeling so good when she wasnâ€™t here. I missed her so much! Finally mom came home for good. No more sneaking out while I was sleeping. That first night back, oh boy, I gave her the longest facial ever! I kept on giving her headbutts, and walking all over her while she was sleeping. I missed my mom.  I slept right next to her to make sure she wouldnâ€™t leave me again. The next day she had to go to work. Can you believe it, she left me again! I ran to the door to block her way, and she said I couldnâ€™t go to work with her. I think Iâ€™d be a big hit! Iâ€™d run around, eat moms plants on her shelf. Play with all the paper. Run up and down the hall. Iâ€™d have a great time. I think they should have â€œBring your white fluffy cat to work day!â€

Anyway, moms been home for almost a week now. Things are back to normal. Again this season Iâ€™ve been a very good boy and havenâ€™t touched the Christmas tree. Mom is proud of me. Its that time of year again when I have to go to the vets in a couple of months. Ugh, not looking forward to that. I wonder if I can escape and blend in with all the snow outside. That way, mom wonâ€™t be able to find me! Great idea! Gotta go, have to formulate my plan. ;)

Did you know that in 11 days, Iâ€™ll be 3 years old?!?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I went home Saturday, and Sunday to be with my family and to see Hunter. I was told he isnâ€™t doing so well. My parents seem to think he is depressed. Can cats get depressed? My mom told me he isnâ€™t interested in playing at all. He barely eats. I still have to house-sit for this upcoming week. I wonâ€™t be able to go home today to see Hunter as Iâ€™m at work. Tomorrow I will be there all day. I hung out with Hunty yesterday. We cuddled. At first he was a little distant. But then, he was really affectionate. Of course while I was there, he ate. He brought me to where his toy was, and we played. He was doing so well while I was there. I think of it and I have tears in my eyes. Apparently Hunter doesnâ€™t do well without me. I really didnâ€™t think of that being an issue at all. I felt so bad leaving him yesterday. I left while he was sleeping. I didnâ€™t want him running after me. 

I know my parents are taking good care of him. Itâ€™s not a neglect issue. His litter box was clean, and he had a bowl full of kibble, plus wet food, and fresh water. He did escape Saturday; luckily my father got him back inside. Normally he runs away from my parents if he escapes. 

I just did a cat depression check list on the catchannel.com. Hunty has 3 of the 6 symptoms.  ;(  They said to make sure its not an underlying medical condition. I donâ€™t think so, because when I was home with him yesterday, he was the normal Hunty I know and love. Its just from what my mom has told me over the phone that makes me think he is depressed.

Iâ€™m going to try to go home as much as possible. I just donâ€™t want this to be a lasting condition, although I donâ€™t think it will, but you never know.

Poor Hunty. I miss him.

Huntys Momma,
Kelly

P.S For 2+ years Iâ€™m so used to sleeping with a white fluffball, I donâ€™t seem to sleep well without him.

P.P.S His eye is a-okay! ;)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night mom was packing a big blue bag. I didn't go in it. I was too preoccupied with my eyeball. I got something in it. It was bothering me. So I kept on trying to clean it, but it wasn't getting better. Mom looked at it and said that if its not better by the morning, she was bringing me to the ER vet. She said "We only have one set of eyes, need to take care of them" I wasn't really myself last night. Mom fed me Venison and put Lysine in it to maybe help my eye out a bit. I didn't really want that. I wanted the kibble she bought me instead. Anyway, Mom was packing and I was kinda sad. I love my momma and I don't want her to go! I haven't really been bad. So anyway, mom went to bed and I layed down next to her. Right up against her shoulder and under her chin. We fell asleep like that. I sleep with mom everynight. Well last night my eye was really bothering me, so I got up and hid underneath the bed. Mom got up and realized I wasn't there. She found out she doesn't sleep that well without me. Anyway, mom woke up for work and I was sleeping on the floor. Not like me at all.  I saw mom and jumped on the bed. My eye was still a little squinty. I was pawing at it and mom was deciding on whether she should bring me to the vets. She started to get ready for work and saw my eye was a little goopy. She noticed that it was wide open though. She said, "Oh Hunty, you're fine. Stop milking it" Milking it? Do I look like a cow? I don't even drink milk. I don't know what she was talking about.

I could tell mom was kinda sad. She kept on petting me and telling me to be a good boy. I am always a good boy! She flipped me over and rubbed my belly, while I licked her hand. Mom went to clean my box and I jumped on my cat tree. I was rolling around on the top tower, trilling, and pawing at moms head. She pet me, scratched behind my ears, and told me that she loved me. She said "Be a good boy Hunty, I'll see you on Sunday. I love you my big boy" and then I heard mom crack open a can of food for me. She talked to Memz and left. I heard the door shut and ran after her. MOM!!

I'm wicked sad. Moms sad too. Its going to be a long 1.5 days without her. Wonder what trouble I can get into to pass the time...

Missing my mom,
Hunty]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom said that she's going away for a little while, I'm rather upset about that which is a whole other story. But she did tell me that Memz and Pepz will take good care of me. Mom told me she wrote out instructions. Instructions? I'm not a toy. They don't need to install batteries in me. Well here are the instructions that mom wrote out. Do you guys think she forgot anything??

<b>HUNTER

BREAKFAST: In the morning when you wake up take Hunter out of my bedroom!! Feed him a small can of Fancy Feast, the whole can. Put it on the counter. Donâ€™t forget to pick up his dish from the night before. It will be on the brown mat as you walk in my bedroom.

Around 1:00pm if he is still hungry (if he ate all his breakfast) you can give him a scoop of kibble, from the Tupperware that says CAT. ONE scoop only!!

DINNER:  When you go to bed or when dad comes home, whichever, give him Â½ a big can of cat food. Put the other half in the fridge with a cover on it. Put the food in his dish and put the dish on the brown mat when you walk in my bedroom. Find Hunter, and put him in my bedroom with the door shut! Leave him there until the morning. (If you canâ€™t find him, get out his wand toy, and flick it a few times, heâ€™ll come running)
	(Donâ€™t forget about the Â½ a can of cat food in the fridge (if there is one) normally I put the food in the dish, add about 1 tablespoon of water and put it in the microwave for 17 seconds. Mix it around, chop it up, and put it in my bedroom on the brown mat.)

PLAY? : If he wants to play, you can get his favorite wand toy from the 2nd draw of my bureau as you walk in my bedroom. Itâ€™s in the front. You can just sit down and wiggle it in front of him. Once he catches it, you can let go and heâ€™ll drag it around the house. Do NOT try to get his toy while itâ€™s in his mouth. He will start huffing and will eventually growl.  You donâ€™t have to play with him. Not a necessity. Unless he is causing trouble. ;)

Iâ€™ll take care of his litter box when I come home. I should be coming home every other day. 

Last but not least, PLEASE oh PLEASE watch out for him when you bring the dog out!! This is why he is in my bedroom at night!!

I know youâ€™ll take good care of my big boy! Again watch out when you bring out the dog!  Thank you so much Mom and Dad!</b>

I hope mom doesn't stay away for too long. I'm going to miss her.

Hunty]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom did it again this year. She put up a fake tree in the house. Its really pretty.  But its still defective. I donâ€™t know why mom wants to put a defective tree in the house. Iâ€™m not allowed to touch it, or go underneath it. The tree knows when I do. It spits at me. Iâ€™m not kidding. I tried to go under it yesterday, while no one was looking. It spit at me!!! I jumped about 5 feet in the air and ran into moms room. I havenâ€™t touched it. Mom is so proud of me. I always have to inspect anything that comes in the house, I like things with lights. Mom thought for sure Iâ€™d climb the Christmas tree since I investigate any high spot. Nope. The Christmas tree is safe! Mom still tied the tree against the wall anyway, just to be on the safe side. 

I am almost 3 and still have super duper kitten energy! Yesterday while mom was at work, I decided I needed to chase my tail. So I was running around the livingroom like a spaz kitty. Then I sawâ€¦ him. Toby the outside kitty. Again, he was laughing at me because I was chasing my tail. So I got mad. I made a mad dash for the sliding doorâ€¦ THUD! I slid into it. Donâ€™t worry, Iâ€™m a-okay. Oh yea, the slider is fine too.  I must of scared Toby because he hissed at me. I started to growl. I do not like him! Memz put me in quiet time. Yea, thatâ€™s right, I have quiet time now. Its not like time out. Its what mom calls quiet time. Thatâ€™s when I get mad at the outside kitties and start to growl, or especially when I start screeching at them. Mom or Memz picks me up and puts me a bedroom with the door shut. So I calm down. Now that I think of it, mom did the same thing when she called it Time Outâ€¦ Oh that mom is sneaky!

Anyway, can you guys believe Iâ€™m almost 3 years old? I donâ€™t look at day over 1! I gotta get going. Teaka got a haircut and I need to give her another bath. She smells like the groomers. Yuck!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wednesday night was horrible! I was so anxious. Mom wasnâ€™t home. I was pacing throughout the house meowing. I get upset when I canâ€™t find her. Memz kept on saying that it was okay. That mom will be home soon. But she wasnâ€™t! Who would feed me??? I get my dinner every night around the same time. Mom wasnâ€™t home to give me my food. It was getting late and mom wasnâ€™t home. Memz stayed up with me as long as she could and then went to bed. Finally, the door opened and there was mom! Oh I was so happy to see her!! I meowed a couple of times in her face to let her know I was so happy. She fed me! Thank Goodness for moms. I was starving! Since then, I wont let her out of my sight. I sleep right next to her, I crawl on her to make sure shes breathing. I lick her face to make sure she wakes up on time. I need mom and mom needs me. We make a great team! 

Mom is on vacation this coming week. Iâ€™m so excited!!! I can spend all day, every day with her.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have to leave Hunter for about 2 weeks. I am going to be house-sitting and dog sitting. That means Iâ€™ll be living there. My first thought was to make sure my elderly parents would be okay. I take care of my mom mostly at night. She said sheâ€™d be fine. So I told the person that I would house sit for her. Then all of a sudden I thought of Hunter. Now Iâ€™m a little upset at myself for saying yes. I have never left Hunter for more than 2 nights. When Iâ€™m at home, he is my appendage. He is always with me, following me, playing with me, looking at me while heâ€™s causing trouble, sleeping with me. I am never more than 10 feet away from him. (His choice, not mine)  Iâ€™m nervous that heâ€™ll hold a grudge against me I guess. I am thinking about all the â€œwhat ifâ€™sâ€.  What if he escapes? What if my parents forget to feed him? What if he gets sick?  I donâ€™t have any kids of my own. Hunter is like my kid. Iâ€™m thinking of all sorts of scenarios and I have tears in my eyes. I must be crazy. 

I thought of bringing him with me, that way I could be with him. But I think I would do more harm than good, plus they have a German Sheppard. I think he would shred Hunter to bits. The house Iâ€™ll be staying at is in a different state. Its about 45 minutes from my house. So itâ€™s not like I canâ€™t go home to see him. I can, its just I wonâ€™t be able to go everyday.  On days I donâ€™t go home, I can call to see how he is.  Iâ€™ll buy him some kibble incase they forget to feed him his wet food.  I know for a dog you can put down a T-shirt youâ€™ve worn and itâ€™ll comfort them. Does the same go for cats? I left Hanna alone for 2 weeks once. Actually I was house-sitting that time as well. I remember she kept her distance for the first day after I came home. Hunter is much more needy though.  I suppose Iâ€™m just nervous that heâ€™ll freak out because Iâ€™m not there. 

Any ideas on how I can make him more comfortable while Iâ€™m gone? I would post this on the forums, but I donâ€™t know where it belongs.

Hunters Momma,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So part of me is thinking there is something wrong with Hunter. Not mentally, although he is a complete nutcase most times. Maybe physically?? I donâ€™t know. The past couple of days he has been horrible!!! He canâ€™t sit still. He has been whining really loud (louder than most days) to go outside. He doesnâ€™t seem to want to play all that much and he has been literally climbing the curtains. I had to take them down in my bedroom. I feel as though something is wrong. Normally hes crazy anyway, but the past couple of days its been overkill. I donâ€™t know if its because its getting cold here and we donâ€™t have the windows open anymore. Maybe the seasons get to him? I remember last year I posted in his diary about something like this. I donâ€™t know if it was around the same time or not. Iâ€™ll have to go back and read it. Hes been eating fine, pooping and peeing okay. He just seems agitated like he canâ€™t get enough exercise. Hes always moving. Except at night, he sleeps with me, and he actually does sleep which Iâ€™m grateful for. Iâ€™ve been playing with him more to get some of his energy out, but he doesnâ€™t really seem all that interested. 

Maybe its because I havenâ€™t gone out to get his higher quality food. Iâ€™ve been giving him fancy feast twice a day for a couple of days now. I donâ€™t have the money right now. Planning on going Friday (God help me) or Saturday to get it.  Then there is my other theory, I havenâ€™t been home all that much. My dad was in the hospital for a few days, Iâ€™ve been going out, Iâ€™ve had a lot of things to do. So maybe hes acting out for the attention?? My last theory is that Iâ€™m paying more attention to Teaka lately. She has ear infections that I need to take care of, Iâ€™ve been giving her baths, playing with her. 

Hunter is like my son, and I know something is off with him. I just donâ€™t know what it is. By next week if he isnâ€™t his normal crazy self, then its off to the vets we go. 

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You know, I really thought that Hunter would calm down the older he got. I honestly donâ€™t know why I thought that, but I did. I think Hunter has a few screws loose. Last night I came home and there he is, in the middle of the floor rolling around. He trills when hes rolling around and then he stops while he is on his back, and then he spreads his legs out. Maybe he has to air out his fruit cups? I really donâ€™t know. If you talk to him while he is on his back, he wags his tail. I am forever saying that Hunter is part dog. If I walk up to him while he is on his back, he quickly flips over, gets those big black eyes and runs into the livingroom like a lunatic. This is his new thing, rolling around on the kitchen floor. 

He canâ€™t sit still when Iâ€™m home. This morning, I heard him playing with a bag. I turned on the light, there is Hunter inside a shopping bag sitting there, cooing at me. There are times when part of me thinks he could be part feral. But it really doesnâ€™t make sense since I adopted him from a shelter at 8 weeks old. He doesnâ€™t stop, ever. The only time he isnâ€™t right next to me, or bugging me, is when hes sleeping. I guess its pretty sad when you know what time your cat naps/sleeps. I suppose Iâ€™m just amazed at his energy level. He is going to be 3, and hes nuts. Iâ€™m not complaining. Not at all. Its just he is always looking for trouble, places hes not allowed to go, what he can eat.  All of my other cats, were not like Hunter. There were so docile.  You think after almost 3 years Iâ€™d be used to it. Hmmm not really.  

I donâ€™t know how other people do it with more than one cat. I canâ€™t even imagine having more than one Hunter. Iâ€™d go nuts!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said that Life got in the way. Thatâ€™s why I havenâ€™t been around. I donâ€™t buy that at all! Shes just not into catster anymore. Thatâ€™s okay I suppose. I do miss checking up on my friends though. Iâ€™ve been pretty good. I am really starting to enjoy the bathtub. I go in there, roll around, play with the shower curtains. Then I start getting the zoomies. I shoot out of the bathroom and run in the livingroom like a crazy boy. Mom thinks Iâ€™m nuts.

I have a couple of new habits. One of them isnâ€™t so good. So the outside cat, Toby, basically lives on our deck. His owners are horrible people. Anyway, I donâ€™t like Toby. He makes fun of me because of my nose. There is nothing wrong with my nose, its just orange. Ugh. I can hear him through the slider door laughing at me, and crying for mom to feed him. Toby, gets friskies hard food. Iâ€™m not allowed to have that. I donâ€™t think thatâ€™s fair at all, so I get mad at Toby. I get mad that he makes fun of me and jealous because I want that food too! Now, when I see Toby sit infront of the slider, I run to the slider, hit it head first, and then I start to growl. I get all puffy and I try to smackety paw the slider door.  I hiss and screech sometimes. Mom yelled at me a couple of times. Now, she just picks me up and puts me in the bedroom until I calm down.  Mom said that if I act like that towards Toby, Iâ€™ll probably be an only cat forever! Thatâ€™s fine with me. 

Iâ€™m starting to sleep in the middle of the bed. Instead of sleeping next to moms face, I sleep against her legs in the middle of the bed. Mom does not like this. Now mom canâ€™t really move at night. So last night she had to get up, and I trapped her under the covers. She moved the covers, but I didnâ€™t move at all. Iâ€™m not getting up for her! She had to crawl over me to get out of bed. When mom came back to bed, I was laying down next to her pillow. Oh I love moms bed! 

I think Teaka is a good egg. Weâ€™ve become pals kind of. We play, I attack her, she tries to bite me. Its all in good fun! I think Iâ€™d be bored without Teaka. I keep her in shape, and she makes sure I donâ€™t eat all her food. Oh I love me some dog kibble! Iâ€™ve been doing pretty good. I still try to escape, but mom is on top of it. Mom took a couple of cool pictures of me. I think sheâ€™s going to try to upload them to catster. Anyway I gotta go. I wanna say Hi to all of my friends! Miss you guys!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its my fault, Hunty hasnâ€™t written in his diary. Iâ€™m not into catster at all anymore. Its almost like I got out of it what I needed to, now I could take it or leave it. Although Iâ€™d never delete Hunters account. There just might be a time where Iâ€™m into it again. Never know. Anyway, Hunter has been a good boy. He is such a mommas boy. Yesterday he was spider hunting, and I had to kill it for him. He can be such a wuss sometimes. ;) This morning, I apparently wasnâ€™t paying attention to him, so he decided to cram his butt under my bureau. I left him there. There was no way I was going to lift a bureau to get him out. He got there, he can get himself  out, and he did.  He is starting his fascination with the bathroom again. Loves to watch the toilet swish around, then heâ€™ll jump in the tub. 

I think he has gone above and beyond to wake me in the morning. Its almost to the point of being OCD and he wonâ€™t stop until I sit up in bed. Now, he walks all over me. Will lay down on my chest so I have a hard time breathing, licking my face. He still pulls my hair like a kid, will knead me with his claws. If all else fails heâ€™ll grab me with his fangs and bunny kick my arms. Luckily I donâ€™t have any lasting marks from him. Once Iâ€™m awake heâ€™ll headbutt my face and I pull him in my lap and we cuddle. This is a daily thing for us. I just wish Hunter knew the meaning of weekends. He wakes me up everyday at 4:30am. 

Overall, I canâ€™t really complain about him. He still escapes, but so far Iâ€™ve always managed to get him back inside. The only thing that bothers me is his whining at night. Its almost to the point where I canâ€™t stand it. I know its because he wants to go outside. But, there is no way he is going out. I absolutely refuse. That is one issue that I will not budge on. Anyway, I should be going. Iâ€™m sure Hunty is at home sleeping. Iâ€™m sure he says Hi to all of his friends

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™m currently accepting applications for a new typist. Mom is ridiculous! She doesnâ€™t want to come on catster anymore. I demanded her to come and type in my diary for me. I have no thumbs here guys, I canâ€™t do it myself! I did try to use the iPad myself the other day. She took it away from me. Then I tried to bite it, you know to give mom the hint that I wanted to check up on my friends. She said no. There are no other cats here. I feel like the last cat on earth!! Iâ€™m stuck living with a dog. Also, to make matters worse, mom still locks me up with her every night in the bedroom. Okay, so I will admit I do like laying down with mom at night. But then I hate that alarm clock. So I have devised a system that is working flawlessly! Mom is getting up earlier and earlier all because of me. I wake her up at 4:30am every day. How do I do it? I pull her hair! She hates that. Then she tries to give me the â€œNo pulling hairâ€ discussion. (Like thatâ€™ll ever work) and I start to get mad. So I do my grab and hold technique and bunny kick her at the same time. She holds me tight, and tells me to stop. I do, and mom waits until I calm down, then she lets me go. We do this almost every morning now. Its great! Then I get the zoomies and run into the livingroom. 

Mom insulted me yesterday. She said I was part dog. Do I look like a dog? No! Just because I follow her like a dog, and I lick her like a dog, doesnâ€™t mean I am one. Alright so Iâ€™ll eat a dog kibble here and there, I donâ€™t bark like a dog though. Anyway, nothing really new going on. Iâ€™m still a very big trouble maker, and I think without me, mom would be bored. I keep her on her toes! Oh, I just remembered why mom isnâ€™t on catster that much. My mom is a geek. Yep thatâ€™s right. A total nerd. She is obsessed, and I do mean obsessed with this online forum called Macrumors.com Yes, my mother wants a new iPhone so she keeps on checking that website, for pictures, info, leaks of what is going to look like. Ugh, give me a break mom. A cell phone? She has one. I like to bite it. It has lovely Hunty bite marks on it. Why would she get rid of it? Anyway, so Iâ€™m sure when my mom is satisfied with her stupid cell phone, sheâ€™ll be on catster more often, and hopefully get updated pictures of me, her one and only! Gotta go, the dog is getting in trouble!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its been a while huh? Mom doesnâ€™t find catster interesting anymore. She does feel bad about not really keeping up with my diary. I guess life just got in the way. I threw up a hairball yesterday. I was pretty proud of myself. My tummy sure felt better after. Mom thought it was a dried up poopie. Seriously mom? I poop in my box like I should. I havenâ€™t escaped all that much lately. Although I keep on trying. Canâ€™t succeed if you donâ€™t try! Nothing really new with me, I still whine to go outside. Oh, I do have a couple of new habits now. I have started to chew and lick bottles. All bottles no matter what is inside them. For a couple of days I was fixated on the nail polish remover bottle. That made mom nervous so she put it in a cabinet. Then I focused on moms vitamin bottle. Itâ€™s a little hard to gnaw on it, but I make it work. Yesterday mom was reading her book (when I really think she should be playing wit me) and I started chewing on her book light. Mom kept on pulling it away and told me to â€œstopâ€. I got mad and clamped on her arm and yeowled. She said I was a brat. 

She doesnâ€™t really call me by my name anymore. She calls me â€œFloofyâ€ Its so degrading. Okay so yes Iâ€™m fluffy, but Câ€™mon, Floofy?? Thatâ€™s so girly.  I have to make sure it doesnâ€™t become a habit. I slept with mom last night and when we woke up mom noticed I brought my favorite toy onto the bed. Mom forgot to put it away last night.  Anyway, I now lay on my toys in my cat tree hammock, to make sure no one gets them. I climb in, lay on my toys, try to find the toy that makes the most noise and attack it. Mom loves when I do that. ;)

Oh, and she finally brought a picture of me to work. Its my profile picture. So people have stopped by and said â€œWow, isnâ€™t he handsome.â€ What can I say? Iâ€™m a good lookin dude!  Its time to go, mom has to get back to work. Hopefully sheâ€™ll update my diary more often.  Hope everyone is doing well.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think mom needs to be punished. I havenâ€™t been on catster in a long time! Lets see, what can I update you guys with. On Monday night, I threw up on the bed. I think I ate something I wasnâ€™t supposed to. So at 1:30am mom had to strip her bed and wash her sheets. I get scared when I throw up. I was being super lovey dovey. For some reason mom wouldnâ€™t let me give her a facial. I donâ€™t know whyâ€¦

Lately, I wonâ€™t let mom sleep at night. I keep on waking her up and making tons of noise. I just want to play. Mom said that its sleep time. I sleep while she is at work. She is thinking of letting me out of the bedroom at night so she can sleep. But, she doesnâ€™t want me escaping. I think mom would rather be sleep deprived than have me outside. Now that is loveâ€¦

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I've been sad since my friend Violet went to the Rainbow Bridge.  I've been stuck to mom like glue.  Anyway, mom was sitting on the bed when she came home from work, and I decided to jump on the bed and give her a few headbutts. You know, kind of like "Hey mom, what's up?". Mom and I cuddled for a few minutes then she went to go visit Da Tabbies blog.  That's when I did it.  I layed on the bed, sprawled out and decided to clean my fruit cups.  Although there is no fruit inside them anymore, my cups are still there.  I did it right in front of mom too.  I have no shame.  I clean my fruit cups when and where I want to.  That's all to report today.  My fruit cups are clean!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Normally I would let Hunter write in his diary. However its thundering and lightning out and I'm sure he is under my bed hiding somewhere. Now Hunter is a really good boy. I have no complaints. The escaping situation is pretty much under control. He gets locked in my bedroom with me at night so I don't have to worry about him. Because he is with me at night, Hunter is starting to be my alarm clock. Granite, I have to set like 4 alarms to wake up. Nope, not kidding. I think Hunter is starting to hate it. Now, he has taken over the job. This morning, I was woken up by Hunter head butting the back of my head. Normally when I'm awake he does this gently. When i'm sleeping, he isn't so gentle. He headbutts my head and it hurts. Wakes me right up for about 2.5 seconds. I usually tell him to go away. He sees me awake and gets all excited. He'll start to purr and knead on my shirt. I'll fall back asleep and this is when he gets pissed off. He'll headbutt me again, and I'll turn over. Then the fangs come out. This morning he grabbed my arm with his mouth, was yeowling while holding on, and air kneading. Needless to say it hurt. I managed to make him let go for about a second and then I heard "MEOW!" real loud and he grabbed on again. After the second mauling, I was up. He got excited, had the zoomies a bit and I let him out of the room. Then I went back to bed ;) I probably shouldn't of since I woke up late for work.

So yes Hunter is my personal alarm clock. I wish he wouldn't use the fangs though, I have 2 fang marks on my arm. The lil brat! He is very slowly becoming a lap cat. I'll be sitting down and he'll come up and just lay on my lap. Its a little awkward since he doesn't really fit. Oh and also at night, he'll walk on me and just lay down on me. My angel Hanna used to do that. That was the one thing she did almost every night.  

Hunter does NOT like other cats. He is starting to hiss and growl at the ferals outside. He even tries to attack them through the slider door. I'm surprised he doesn't have a concussion yet. 

Overall Hunter is slowly becoming more mellow. I don't know if its been the heat or not but I've noticed this slight change in him. Hes been a very good boy!

Mom was in the middle car of a 3 car accident. Some stupid dude, hit my mom, and then my moms car hit the ladys car infront of her. So that was Friday...

On Saturday it was moms birthday!!! The babies came over and we all sang Happy Birthday to her. Mom got a Pandora bracelet (that I will enjoy chewing) and a bead of 2 cats. The bead is supposed to represent moms 2 nieces, but I secretly think they represent Angel Hanna and me! 

Sunday was Fathers day! Mom spent the whole day with Pepz. She got him a bird feeder, but I think she really got it for me. So I can chatter at the birds. Pepz is so smart, he put it right infront of the picture window. Right where I sit! They went fishing too. I wanted to go, but mom said that I wasn't allowed. Then she told me about all the water where the fish live... ehh no thank you. I may look like a Turkish Van, but that doesn't mean I like water!!! 

So mom is a bit stressed with the car insurance claim, medical claim, she has to get her car fixed, she is going to get a rental blah blah blah. Anyway, mom and I might not be around for a few days, but don't worry I'll be back!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Early this morning I wanted to read Da Tabbies blog. Mom was sleeping. So I figured, I'd go on the internet myself! Mom usually uses this square thing called an iPad. It was put away so I had to figure out some other way to get on the internet. I know that sometimes mom says "I need to get on the internet" and she pulls a wire out of this black box. She waits 30 seconds and plugs it back in. Then these blue lights start to flash! Its a really neat looking box. Well, I took it upon myself to nibble on the wires to the black box. I know I'm not supposed to chew on wires, but I really wanted to visit my friends! 

So you know when you do something you're not supposed to, and your mom knows too?? I think mom has eyes on the back of her head! Yea well mom woke up and saw me nibbling on the wires. She said "you know better, Hunter!" She put everything back where it was supposed to be, and walked out of the room. I saw the blue lights flashing on the black box. So I went back to it, and nibbled again, and mom could hear me. "Hunter, get away from the router!" I don't know what a 'router' is, so I didn't feel the need to move. Actually I moved ontop of the box! I WAS ON THE INTERNET!!!  

You won't believe what mom did next. She unplugged everything, took the box away and put it in a spot even I can't get to. She was moving the wires and I got mad! I scratched her wrist. It was bleeding.  ;( She called me a little brat, and left me. Then I had the zoomies.  I've been pretty bad lately. I escaped twice yesterday. First time in a long while. 

Anyway, I went on the internet this morning. I didn't get to see my friends blog, but maybe when mom comes home from work, we can go visit them. I think I'm gonna lay low today. Its raining, and I've been pretty bad.  At least I still got my fancy feast this morning!!

I don't know why parents need black boxes to go on the internet. I was on the black box this morning and didn't see anything!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, last night I was in the bathroom with mom. She was taking my medicine for allergies. Yep, you heard that right. She was taking MY medicine. So I had a little talk with her. I meowed "Mom, thats my medicine!!" She looked at me and said, "Actually Hunty, you take MY medicine, but only half of one" Hmmm, I never knew I was taking human pills. Weird. Anyway, So i'm in the bathroom and I decided to jump in the tub. I don't do this normally, hardly ever. Mom found it funny, and I was rolling around, trilling, being silly. Then I sat up, and was pawing at the faucet. So, mom turned it on just a tiny bit. Oh boy did I splash and have a good time. Then the water started to puddle up in the tub. Uh oh, so I ran to the other side where there was no water. Ahhh, I was safe! Then she turned the water off.  I walked back to the faucet and pawed at it again. Mom turned it on, and water got on my head!!! I ran back to the other side of the tub. Mom said my face was sad. I don't like water on my head! She turned off the water, picked me up and we went to bed. 

I do not like water on my head. I do not like water on my paws. I do not like water here or there. I do not like water anywhere!  ;)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I told mom not to do it.  I've been a very good boy, so she should of kept it up for me.  But nope, mom canceled it.  Mom canceled my Plus subscription!!!  She said she is not going to pay for a website anymore.  Don't be surprised guys when my page doesn't look cool anymore.  Mom isn't sure exactly what happens, or what disappears from my page, but don't be shocked.  

I think mom has come to terms with what catster means to her and me.  I like it for my friends.  Plain and simple.  My friends know how I am, and are always there lending mom good advice on how to keep me inside. (Really guys, you could of given me advice on how to escape more efficiently.) I think mom likes catster for the forums and for my diary. ( hopefully my diary won't go away cuz she canceled my plus subscription).  Mom likes reading the forums.  She knows it's a place where she can get advice if something goes wrong.  

Mom and I might not be here everyday. We might not even be here for a week.  But, mom reads every comment I get. It pops up on her cellphone (and my mom always has her cellphone with her) so don't think I don't read what you say.  Mom hates to comment back in my diary, she thinks it's ridiculous and catster should have some IM system.  Anyway, mom and I aren't leaving catster. We just downgraded my account.

I gotta go.  Its 5:26am and mom has to get ready for work.  Oh and she has to give me fancy feast.  That's most important.

She's been sick so she hasn't done it in a while.  I don't want my friends to leave.  Who will tell me to be a good boy?? Who will give me advise when the dog is a tattle tail? I promise I'll try to be good.  I don't want my friends to leave catster.  Without friends I don't have anyone.  I even promise not to escape!  

I'm gonna miss them!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow! I'm a DDP today. I was pretty excited when mom told me this morning. I had to go and bunny kick my bubble fishie, and then drool a bit on my Valarian root pillow. Good times.  I spit my pill out this morning. I have to chew everything, even wet food. Mom was a bit annoyed that I spit it out. So she wrapped it in another pill pocket. Thank goodness for those! Mom doesn't really think the zyrtec is helping me. Its only been a day and a half though. Mom is going to follow the vet dudes instructions and see how it goes. The bumps aren't getting any bigger, which is a good thing. I'm still eating, pooping, peeing, being a crazy boy. Anyway, Auntie called mom yesterday and shes going to have another baby. That'll make 3!!! Okay so I like Cate, shes almost 3 and is gentle with me. She calls me "Hunta".  The baby, Isabelle, ehh well she chases after me and points. I don't like her so much.  Now there is going to be another one?? I am so glad mom puts me in the bedroom when they come over. 

Mom hasn't been feeling good since yesterday. Today she is super duper grumpy and almost got mad at me cuz I spit my pill out.  She said "Ugh Hunter, really? I don't have time for this right now. Here, look, focus. No Lovey, you don't need to chew it, just swallow" Finally I swallowed my pill.  Mom thinks its going to be a challenge to get me to eat my pill.  She has no idea... ;) 

Well my typist aka mom, isn't feeling good so I think we're going to stop here.  Hope everyone has a good day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I made it out of the vets alive!  Mom tricked me into going in my carrier. I was not a happy guy! I whined in the car in my pathetic "going to the vets" meow. Luckily we only live 5 minutes from the vets office. We walked in and the lady said "Is this Hunter?" Mom said yes. Then we went into the examination room. Mom put the carrier down and unzipped it. I'm no fool, I didn't move. Mom had to pull me out!  The lady weighed me and I still weigh 9lbs 12oz.  My weight does not fluctuate whatsoever! So then the vet guy came in. Mom likes him, he knows what hes talking about. Been a vet for 25 years. He takes one look at my ear, feels the bumps and immediately says "he has allergies".  Then he looked at my eye and found another bump. Oh geez. Mom and him kept on looking at my eyes, and he made my third eyelid pop up like 5 times!!! He freaked mom out. Mom mentioned my lil heart blip so he listened to my heart for a long time. He said he didn't hear anything unusual and that my arrhythmia didn't seem to be there.  He kept on covering my face with his hand.  Hes lucky I'm a good boy because I could of chewed his hand off.  Mom said that shes very lucky I'm such a good boy. Because I have been a good boy lately. The vet tilted my head up and I looked at him, then he knuckled my head, rubbed it and said "He is a very good healthy boy, just how we like them" 

So mom has to give me 1/2 a zyrtec two times a day for 3 days, then 1/2 a zyrtec once a day for 2 weeks. The vet dude, said I'm allergic to either pine or maple pollen. He also said that since I'm so young and I already have allergies, it could get worse when I'm around 5.  While the vet was writing all of this down for mom, she was holding me and I decided to give her a facial. I think mom was a bit embarrassed. She told me "Really Hunty, you even give facials in the middle of a vet visit?" I wanted to show the vet dude. He was busy and didn't even notice. After the facial I really didn't want to be handled again so I ran into my carrier. Then mom, my neurotic mom, asked a question and he said, "C'mon Hunter out one more time buddy".  Buddy? My name is not Buddy. So mom had to pull me out again, and the vet looked at my paws. The vet dude asked, does he chew on his paws? Mom said yes, and the vet dude looked at my paw. Well I was getting irritated, I could of clawed him right there. He let go and I ran into my carrier and huffed!  That was it, I was done! So mom thanked the vet dude, and we left. 

Finally we got home. I ran out of my carrier and onto my platform. Mom didn't want to play, she went out and got me some pill pockets (which taste like chicken, sorry Da Tabbies) and some fancy feast. She came home and found me on the bed laying down. I chopped down on her hand, so she let me be. Then while mom was watching a movie I layed down on the back of the couch. I was exhausted!!

So, I'm going to be okay!! Nothing wrong with me, just allergies. Mom is on top of it. Thank Goodness, I was starting to get itchy!! Gotta go smackety paw Teaka. She stinks like Turkey!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, mom did it.  Iâ€™m going to the vets today for my ear and my eye. I have 2 of these bumps on my ear. At first mom thought it was a broken blood vessel and left it alone. Part of my ear is white so mom could see it. Then the bumps started. Theyâ€™re getting a little bit bigger too, and my ear is warm to the touch. Iâ€™ve been shaking my head too.  Yesterday mom saw the white skin around my eye turn pink! So, mom made an appointment for me to go to the vets. I really donâ€™t wanna go. Mom is nervous because Auntie said it could be cancer. Mom thinks its an aural hematoma but isnâ€™t sure. I heard mom say that she hopes it doesnâ€™t cost too much money because mom doesnâ€™t have a lot this week. However, if mom thinks I need to go to the vet, I go regardless of how much it costs.  

Say some power of the paw prayers please for my ear and eye. I hope it gets better!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning, mom was getting ready for work. She was sitting on the bed putting her sneakers on. I was sitting on the bed too, waiting for mom to turn the TV on. I was just looking at it. Mom doesn't put the TV on in the morning. Well I started to look at the screen. There was another cat in the TV!! My tail started to go, and I was agitated. This is how the conversation with mom went...
Me: "Meow"
Mom: "Hunty, I'm not putting the TV on"
Me: "Mrrraow"
Mom: "Oh Hunty, its just your reflection. There is no other cat"
Me: (I started to growl at the TV)
Mom: "Hunter, c'mon now, its just the TV. You know better"
Me: (Growling under my breath)
Mom: "Okay Hunty, lets go. Want breakfast? Fancy Feast?"

All mom had to say was breakfast, and out the door I ran. There is another cat in the TV. I saw him. He looked just like me.  I didn't eat much of my fancy feast. I ran back into the bedroom and tried to get behind the tv. I couldn't fit because its against the wall. So I jumped on moms computer table instead and tried to get the other cat in the TV.  Mom kept on saying "Keep it up Hunty, you're gonna get in trouble"  So I jumped on my platform and layed down.  I think while mom is at work, I'm gonna see if I can get behind the TV. I don't like other cats. Teaka is lucky she is a dog. Otherwise I'd smackety paw her and show her whose boss. Wait, I do that anyway... hehehe

Gotta run!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunter has been such a good boy lately. I am very proud of him.  He has not escaped once in over a week. With him being locked up in my bedroom at night, I thought he would go stir crazy. Nope, he has been such a good boy!! He doesn't whine or try to get out. He will eat his dinner, and either play with his toys on the floor or sleep with me.  Then like clockwork, he will wake me up when my alarm rings. I couldn't be more proud of him. 

He still tries to attack the feral cats outside through the slider. He does not like other cats. On occasion he will pounce on Teaka like he used to when he was little. He no longer eats dog food. Apparently the dog food doesn't appeal to him. Its Turkey. Hunter hates turkey. But, he will lick the dog after she eats. I guess he likes the Turkey/Yorkie mix. lol. ;)  Hunter has started to calm down a bit. Only slightly though. He hasn't run through the house lately. Sometimes he will get the zoomies, but not like before.  All of this could be because of the heat. Although we have AC, I guess the seasons get to him. 

Overall I'm very lucky to have Hunter. He is a very smart, healthy boy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a Mommas boy. Its okay, i'm not ashamed to say it. I love my mom! I have been a very good boy at night, staying in the bedroom. I don't whine, cause trouble, pull moms hair. I either hang out in the hammock of my cat tree (this is a new thing for me), go on my towers, or sleep in my bed. Then usually in the middle of the might, I sleep with mom on the bed. It has been working out really well. Mom feels safe that I'm not escaping, and we can all sleep at night instead of listening to me yeowl.  I think mom was afraid at first, that I would go stir crazy. But nope, I'm good. 

Last night and this morning, I tried to hide under moms chin. She was on her iPad and I walked up onto her and did a hard headbutt under her chin and tried to hide. Normally I'm not a lap kitty, but I'm starting to be. On occasion I'll just lay on moms lap. Then she feels the need to pet me. Oh boy do I purr. I tried to hide under moms chin again this morning. I lay my head right under her chin and pretend no one can see me. I'm a total love bug in the morning. 

I have to go lick Teaka now. She smells like Turkey.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Friday night I escaped again. Mom was sleeping and Pepz was outside trying to catch me. Although Pepz is afraid of me, mom has to give him credit for trying to catch me. Teaka kept on barking so mom got up, got my treats, but this time it didn't work. She got my favorite toy ever, and that got me out from underneath the deck. That was it. Mom has had it! So now, there is a new rule in the house.  If we know people are going to coming in and out of the house (like bringing in groceries, when the babies come over etc) I have to be put in the bedroom.  At night, I have to stay in moms room with her. Of course mom brings my dinner in the room too, and my litterbox is in the corner, so it works out.  Also when Teaka has to go outside, someone has to pick me up and hold me to make sure I don't run outside. It worked all weekend long! I haven't even tried to escape.  Well, maybe once yesterday. But Shhh don't tell mom.  So I've been sleeping in moms room with her. Mom accidentally whacked me in the face while she was sleeping (I sleep next to moms face) so I bit her hand. She has Hunty teeth marks on her hand now. ;)  So Mom had a good mothers day I think. I was being really cuddly yesterday. We played, napped, it was a good day. 

I think I'm gonna try my paw at fishing today. I haven't tried that in a while.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its official, I'm a bad mother. ;(  Hunter escaped again. I'm really at my wits end about this. I don't know how to keep him inside!!!  Anyway, so he escaped and always runs underneath the back deck. He won't come to me when he is outside. So I have to run back in the house and get his treats. Last night I got the treats and went back outside. I got him to almost come out, but I'm afraid to grab him by the collar, so I try to pick him up. He turned around and I got his tail. So by instinct, I pulled. He meowed and whipped around and tried to bite me. At that point I didn't care if he did or didn't. Then I'm like OMG I hurt him!!!! So I let go. He went to the other side of the deck and poked his head out when I showed him the treats. This time, I grabbed him by the scruff and brought him inside. I went directly to my bedroom, and put him on his platform, gave him the treats. He has no problem sitting, walking, wagging his tail. I wanted to make sure I didn't do any damage. So I brushed him. God he needed it. He flattens out like a pancake when I brush him, so I purposely put pressure with the Zoom Groom on the base of his spine where his tail starts and body ends. No whining, hissing, flinching whatsoever. So I let him be. He seems fine. I'm very lucky he is so forgiving. He slept with me last night and gave me a facial. I'm happy that he is okay. 

I have never done anything to cause harm to Hunter. I just wanted him back inside the house. I feel horrible. Like I hurt my kid. It was a split second decision that I should have never done. We are at this constant tug of war. He wants to be outside, I want him in! The only way I can keep him inside, is if I open an umbrella and kind of shoo him into the kitchen with it. I suppose that is what I will have to do from now on.  Gosh I feel like the worst cat parent ever today. 

Huntys mom,
Kelly

P.S If anyone feels the need to put me down, or mention animal cruelty, your comment will be deleted.  Obviously you don't know what Hunter means to me and that I would NEVER, EVER hurt him. Thank you and have a nice day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is keeping a close eye on the recalls. Teaka was eating TOTW, but after her vet visit. She has changed to Blue Buffalo.  Thats not made by Diamond is it?  I escaped Monday. I was only outside for about 3 minutes before mom brought me inside. You know, since then I really don't want to go out all that much.  The past couple of nights, I've been really good.  Tuesday night I brought my Valarian root pillow in the bed with mom and me. I rolled on it. I like that pillow, it makes me drool a bit.  Then last night I slept with mom again. I wasn't sleeping with her for a long long time. I would just whine all night to go outside.  Anyway....

Teakas vet said she needs to loose weight. Mom knew that. So now mom is spending more time with Teaka that she does me. Mom is having a hard time splitting her time between me and Teaka. She spends hours with me and Teaka every day after work. Thats some major dedication.  So now, mom is running in the house trying to get Teaka to exercise. I just look at her like shes crazy. She runs up and down the hall squeaking this ugly looking monkey thing. Teaka gets upset, she runs after mom, mom throws the ugly monkey thing. Teaka gets it, brings it back to mom and they do this over and over and over. After a while mom gets tired. They she gets out my wand toy. I run and jump, fly, backflip in the air.  Mom is exhausted!!

She told me that cats are so much easier than dogs.  :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been bad. Mom is exhausted. For about a month now, I've been meowing constantly at night. I want to play all the time. I have so much energy sometimes mom can't keep up with me. I think if mom stayed home with me all day, I'd be fine at night. During the day I'm okay, when mom comes home I get so excited to see her I bring her straight to my wand drawer. Then we play. Every day mom plays with me for a couple of hours. Maybe if she plays with Da Bird and makes me jump and do backflips, i'll be quiet at night. Mom is so tired of waking up at 3am, 4am, I walk on her and then we cuddle. I love very early morning cuddles.  Ugh, she is so tired she doesnt even want to finish typing my diary. If only I knew how to type...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, my bad poopies have stopped! YAY! Thank goodness because moms nose was starting to corrode. I haven't pooped since yesterday, but thats okay. Mom gave me some Eagle Pack transition, so the poopies should start to flow later on today. I peed again. Mom thought I was blocked, but nope, I'm a good pee-r. I wasn't feeling so good yesterday. So mom left me alone. But this morning. Oh boy was I feeling better! Mom woke up, walked out of the bedroom and I came running! I stood on my hind legs and stretched up and tapped at her waist. "Pick me up Mom!" So she did. Then once I got on her shoulder I purred and purred. I started kneading the air. Well, it was half air half shoulder kneading. I was so happy mom was awake, and I felt so much better. Mom even let me in the bathroom!! Normally I'm not allowed in there when mom does her business or showers. She finds it gross. I think she felt bad for me today. So I got to watch Mr. Toilet man suck up the water and spit clean water back out. I asked to be picked up again, and this time I licked moms face. I'm a good licker. Mom put me on my platform and she was getting ready for work. I rolled around, trilling, having a great time. Mom came over and I thought she wanted to play so I did my grab and hold technique on her arm and bunny kicked her hand. I got in trouble. She held my scruff a bit and said "Hunty, NO!" I let go. That didn't bother me. I started to roll around again, and tried to attack moms jacket. Then mom gave me some fancy feast. Mmmmm she put some water in it and my Eagle Pack powder. YUM! I love that stuff. Ohh I think I'm gonna go attack Teaka today. 

Boy do I feel better!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sick again. Although this time, its coming out of my bum! I had really bad poopies all night. Mom said it smelled so bad that it was burning her nose. Thatâ€™s some bad poopies! It stained some of my floofy pants. I was a bit embarrassed. So mom helped me clean them. I licked, she brushed. I kept on running in and out of my box. Mom cleaned my box this morning and saw pee clumps, so she knows Iâ€™m not blocked. Its definitely diarrhea! Ewwwww. Iâ€™m still my same Hunty self though. I wanted to play with my toy this morning, but I kept on having the poopie zoomies and running to my box. Mom feels bad. She put some Benefiber in my food this morning, so hopefully everything will be back to normal by the time she gets home.  I was eating my fancy feast when mom left for work, so thatâ€™s a good sign. I ate most of my dinner last night too.  Mom is going to check my litter box when she gets home. If no pee clumps, its to the ER vet for me. Now mom is psyching herself out about my pee clumps. She knows she saw some when she cleaned my box this morning. But the more she thinks about it, the more uneasy she is feeling. Geesh mom, itâ€™s just bad poopies!! 

Mom even wrote on the forums... <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/forums/Food_and_Nutrition/thread/743011">A Change in food = a bad idea</a>

Anyway, I gotta go and umâ€¦ lick my bum!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I feel so much better. Mom came home from work yesterday, and I was still a lil yucky. But we played with my wand toy anyway! I ran, jumped in the air. Mom wanted to play more than I did. Finally mom had to cook dinner, so I just hung out in the other room. I had to see mom though. No matter where she went, I ran after her. Mom was getting a little annoyed with me. But Memz said "He misses you all day. Plus he isn't feeling that good. Why don't you stop for a minute and snuggle with him" So mom did. Oh boy I almost licked her face off. I guess I'm still a kitten when I don't feel good. I need my mom. 

But this morning, ohhh boy did I feel better! I wanted to play.  Unfortunately mom had to go to work. So she fed me, and was getting ready to get me some fresh water when she saw it. I caught a huge bug and put it in my water. Mom was grossed out. She cleaned my bowl and put fresh water in there.  No bug water for me!

Ohhh, mom ordered me new pressies!! I'm so excited. Okay. I want you guys to take a look at these! Oh and btw, thank you Da Tabbies for the link to the great website where mom bought me my pressies!

Look! <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.catniptoys.com/product_images/y/143/n_rosierat__63545_std.jpg">Rosie Rat</a>, <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.catniptoys.com/product_images/i/292/honeysquirrel__51965_zoom.jpg">Honeysuckle Squirrle</a> and a Valarian Spiced catnip pillow!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was sick yesterday.  Mom woke up and found the remnants of â€˜stuffâ€™ on the rug.  She picked it up and cleaned the rug. I was acting fine. Being my whiny, brat self. Then mom saw it. A bowl left on the counter full of dried up Chinese food. Gross!! So mom cleaned that up too. She thought I ate some Chinese food, but she wasnâ€™t sure. Well, she gave me my fancy feast and then left for work. Fast forward about 9 hours or so, mom came home from work. Ohhh boy did my tummy hurt!!! Mom walked into her bedroom to put her jacket away and saw it. I threw up all over the rug. Ewwww.  I almost made it to my litter box. So mom cleaned it up, and had to scrub the rug. The babies were over so I was locked in the other room. I heard mom and was whining. She opened the door and I walked towards moms bedroom. I did not feel good at all! Mom cleaned my litter box, and then put down a bowl of kibble and water for me in the bedroom. I sat there and played with the water a little bit. I had to test it out with my paw before I drank it. It was good water. Nice and cold. I ate some kibble and went to lay down.  That is how mom knows I donâ€™t feel good. I didnâ€™t feel like playing at all yesterday. I layed down and slept. I wanted to be left alone. Mom said I looked like I was 100 years old. My fur was all over the place, I looked shaggy and unkept. Mom kept on checking up on me to make sure I was okay. 

This morning mom checked the rug, I didnâ€™t get sick last night. I was acting more like myself. I ate some of my dinner, but not all of it. I had a really big yucky crusty in my left eye that mom got out. She hopes Iâ€™m not getting a cold or allergies.  She forgot to put lysine in my food this morning. I hope Iâ€™m better today. When mom left I was eating my breakfast. So thatâ€™s a good sign right? Well, I think Iâ€™m just going to hang out on the back of the couch today and watch the birds.

Hunty

P.S Don't eat chinese food, it'll make you throw up!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Geez, there are a lot of cats and dogs going to the Rainbow Bridge lately. Bumpurr is gone. Mom still canâ€™t believe that one. She had tears in her eyes when she read it on catster yesterday. I thought Bumpurr was going to outlive us all, especially the way his Momma took care of him. She is beyond fantastic! My mom has a lot to learn still.  Then there is one of moms old co-workers, she had to put her dog down on Monday, too. So sad. I guess things like this just happen, but for their humans, its not easy. Mom has been there with Angel Hanna, and wouldnâ€™t wish it on her worst enemy. 

Yesterday mom had to go to Boston for her doctor appointment. She actually made it there in less than an hour, only got lost once and made it to her appointment on time! She said it was a miracle! Anyway, mom is fine. I was being a real pain in the bum last night. I kept on waking up mom, whining, and head butting her. I even stood on her tummy, yeowled, and tried to smackety paw her face. She still wouldnâ€™t get up. That called for drastic measures. I nuzzled up against her neck, grabbed a chunk of her hair, started to eat it and pull! That got her up.  She pet me, and then went back to bed. Ugh, I just wanted her to play with me. I even brought my toy on the bed. How lazy can my mom be?? So she found the toy, threw it, and went back to bed. Then her alarm clock went off. So she had to get up. Hehehehe  Now that mom was up, I decided it was time to take a snooze. Oh boy did that make mom mad.  Mission accomplished!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom bought me a new toy! Well itâ€™s the same kind of wand toy I have now, just a newer one. I like to rip its fur off. Everytime mom hears me she said â€œHunty, no, you know betterâ€ I do not know better. Its my instinct to destroy it. Sometimes moms just donâ€™t understand. I played with that all weekend. I escaped twice while mom wasnâ€™t home on Saturday. I didnâ€™t get far though. Memz caught me. Even though she is older, and maybe a little slow moving, she is a smart lady! That Memz, opened the door and saw me moving from the corner of her eye and swooped down and picked me up. I like Memz. She calls me Sweetie.  Thinking of names, mom has several for me that she uses for different occasions.

Hunter: This is what mom says when she is introducing me to someone. â€œThis is Hunterâ€

Hunty: My overall nickname, the one mom uses every day

Lovey: This is what mom calls me when she comes home from work. â€œHiya Loveyâ€

Big Boy: Mom uses this name when she wants me. â€œCâ€™mon Big Boy, lets to get your toyâ€

Brat Boy: This is when Iâ€™m irritating mom. 

Hunta: This is what Caitlin calls me. She canâ€™t say Hunter, so its Hunta for short. â€œAuntie, what Hunta doinâ€™?â€

Floofy: This is what mom calls me when I strut my stuff and my floof is flowing in the wind

Nutcase: when I have the zoomies

Crazy: When Iâ€™m running, jumping, flying through the air, to get my toy.

White Boy: Because Iâ€™m mostly white.  

Thatâ€™s all I can think of for now.  How many different names do your pawrents have for you?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was good last night. Besides my meowing to escape all night. The family has learned to ignore it. So no one really pays attention to me at night. That is totally wrong donâ€™t you think? I should be center of attention always! I was so sleepy last night. Well not really last night, more like yesterday afternoon. I had a nap with mom, I cuddled up against her on the bed while she watched a movie. Then, when it was moms bedtime, I went to sleep in my big boy brown bed (say that 5 times fast).  Mom woke up and there I was sleeping next to her. Boy do I love my mom. I licked her hand, fingers, face, nose, cheeks, and I try to lick her eyelids. She wonâ€™t let me do that. She says it hurts. 

Mom took out a whole bunch of my toys yesterday. I donâ€™t play with any of them!! Not even my YEOOWW Banana!! Catnip does nothing for me. So mom looked at River and Simoneâ€™s etsy shop, but theyâ€™re all filled with catnip. Mom knows I wonâ€™t play with them. Then she looked at Newmans etsy shop. Mom was thinking of getting me some poop balls, but she doesnâ€™t know.  I can't have toys with feathers, I eat them. No toys with real fur, I tend to eat that too. Oh and no treat holding toys, I eat the plastic. So mom has a question for all my friends:

What is your favorite toy and where can my mom buy one?

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

P.S I pooped, so mom thinks the plastic from my duckie might be in there. She wasn't going to disect it to find out though...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, mom went out and bought me some Fancy Feast. Lately Iâ€™ve been whining a lot so mom thought she would buy me some toys that would keep me occupied. So, mom bought me a duck. This duck actually: <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.nylabone.com/assets/007/33585.jpg">Duckie</a> Mom put some treats inside, and it was hard to get at them. I pushed it aside. Mom figured I would play with it later. Plus, it is supposedly good for my teeth. Now I donâ€™t have any issues with my teeth. My Vet said they were a-okay! Anyway, I woke up when mom went to bed. She was laying down and heard â€œCrunch Crunch Crunchâ€ She turned on the light and saw I was playing with my duckie! I wanted those treats! She took it from me and refilled the treats. Then she went back to bed. â€œCrunch CRUNCH Crunchâ€ Uh-oh. Mom didnâ€™t like the sound of that. She turned the light back on, and took my duckie away. I ate part of my Duckie!!! I ate about Â¼ of the plastic tip on the duck. Actually the whole top left corner is now in my belly. Mom had to throw it away. Hopefully it passes to my poopie!  I didnâ€™t get sick last night, and I even ate all my dinner. So mom now has to keep an eye on me.  It took me less than 10 minutes to destroy that toy. I guess I should warn my friends. Do not buy that duckie!!! Its not safe!! Well, its not safe for me anyway. :)

Mom canâ€™t buy me toys with feathers, string, plastic eyes/nose. I destroy them all. Any ideas on a really good toy that is safe, that Iâ€™ll love? I miss my duckieâ€¦

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I waited for mom all day yesterday. I was so anxious when she got home from work. Memz and Pepz played a trick on mom, and it was like an Easter egg hunt in the house! Mom and I searched for moms new iPad case that Memz and Pepz hid. We looked everywhere. Finally I found it! The only way I knew where it was, it smelled funny. Mom was so happy I found it. She picked me up and kissed me. Oh geez, mom is such a girl sometimes! 

I didnâ€™t feel like playing much yesterday. Mom did take out my toy. She noticed today that I ripped it open. Pretty soon mom is going to have to get a new one. Mom got it for my birthday in January. I guess playing with it everyday, its bound to get yucky.  Anyway, I slept a lot yesterday afternoon. I was even sleeping when mom went to bed. Last night, mom was smart. She used these orange things called ear plugs to sleep with. Lately, Iâ€™ve been yeowling at night, all night. Mom hasnâ€™t slept much. So she read somewhere to ignore me, and eventually Iâ€™ll stop. Well mom said this morning that she got the best nights sleep last night!!! She was so happy.  I, on the other hand was laughing inside. I donâ€™t think she realized but last night, mom was cuddling up against my butt again. I like to spice things up a bit! Hehehe  Oh, I hear the slider door opening. Gotta escape!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™m a DDP! Alright I think the diary gal has a secret crush on me. Iâ€™ve been a DDP a lot lately. The sad part is, mom doesnâ€™t think I deserve it. I was super duper bad last night. I whined to go outside for hours last night. Finally, mom couldnâ€™t handle it. She woke up, found me, picked me up and locked me in the bedroom with her. Oh, and she brought my food in there with me. I whined and clawed at the door. LET ME OUT!!! It didnâ€™t work. Finally I gave in and laid in the bed with mom. Then I thought to myself. Why should I be punished? I didnâ€™t do anything bad. So, I clamped down on moms arm. She managed to break free and rolled over. Then moms alarm clocked went off. Mom didnâ€™t sleep much last night. You know what I did next? I jumped on my platform and started to snooze. Oh boy did that make mom mad! She said: â€œIf I didnâ€™t sleep last night Hunty, youâ€™re not sleeping today!!â€ She got out my toys and we played, I jumped, ran, flew through the air! I was tired and hungry. Finally mom was ready for work, and she fed me my fancy feast, and gave me a scoop of kibble.  I was starving! She left a note for Memz and Pepz to watch out for me today, Iâ€™ve been wanting to escape every chance I get!

Mom said Iâ€™m lucky that she loves me, otherwise, Iâ€™d be outside!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh geez. Iâ€™ve been pretty bad lately. I escaped twice again the other day. Teaka chased me back into the house. I need to find a way to kill the dog. Any suggestions? Mom is not happy with me today. I whined all night last night. Before bed, mom played with me for a couple of hours. She fed me, and then went to bed. Around 11:00 all mom heard was â€œMEEOOWW, MEEOOWWâ€ So she called me, I came running, jumped on the bed and laid down for a lil bit. Mom fell back asleep and then around 3:00am we did the same thing. I came running and laid down. Then at 5:00am, again with the â€œMEEOOWW, MEEOOWWâ€ Iâ€™m not hurting, I just want to be with mom!! I hate when she sleeps. So mom got ready for work, and I wanted to go in the shower too. She wouldnâ€™t let me. Then mom walked into the kitchen and put food in my bowl. I didnâ€™t want any. I was crouched down under the kitchen table. Mom knelt down to see if I would come to her. Hmmm, nope didnâ€™t happen. She thinks Iâ€™m stupid. So, mom put her jacket on, got her purse and walked towards the door. I bolted and ran in front of mom and â€œMEEOOWWâ€ I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE MOM!!!!  So she picked me up and brought me to my Fancy Feast in my plate. I ate. She said that food is a good distraction for me. Little does she know that tomorrow, I plan on escapingâ€¦ AGAIN!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™m a DDP today. Although, I havenâ€™t really been updating my diary all that much.  I think the diary gal likes me. Do you guys think she would want to be my Valentine next year? Technically under moms rules Iâ€™m not allowed to date. But, next year I will be a full fledged dreamboat! I should at least be allowed a Valentine. Iâ€™ll have to talk to mom about that, itâ€™s a work in progress.  Anyway,  I was pretty good last night. I didnâ€™t whine last night. Instead, I went and did a pee in my box, and well I have longer fur, so some litter decided to stay on my floofy pants.  Then, I jumped on the bed and laid down. Mom woke up this morning and had litter all in the bed. She said â€œUgh, gross Hunty!â€ She is going to clean the bed when she gets home from work. Actually, mom is going out with Pepz when she gets home. They both have lottery fever! Mom said that if she wins, she is going to get me a playmate. How exciting! I hope she wins. That way mom can stay home all day and play with me.  Itâ€™s a nice thought huh?

I licked mom all night last night. She said her forehead hurts from my tongue. Hey, I canâ€™t help that I love my mom. Oh, we played last night. It was about time! Iâ€™m getting bored with the same wand toy. Mom says she is going to switch it up a bit. Problem with the other ones, theyâ€™re feathers. I have a tendency to eat feathers. Iâ€™ll work it out with mom. See if we can compromise.  Anyway, I gotta go. Maybe Iâ€™ll go fishing today!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I havenâ€™t been super bad, but I havenâ€™t really been good either. Mom didnâ€™t play with me last night. I was kinda upset about that. So when mom went to bed, I whined and whined in the kitchen. Mom called my name, and I came running. We did this all night, up until the arm incident. Mom woke up to me biting her arm. I let go, and mom moved her arm. I whined, pounced on it, and did my grab and hold technique and while I had moms arm in my mouth, I whined. Mom doesnâ€™t know what that means. Any ideas? Finally I let go, and mom calmed me down. I didnâ€™t wake her up this morning. I was tired from wandering around all night. I was super hungry too, mom could hear my tummy growling. Mom fed me my fancy feast, turned around to throw the can away, and there I was, eating it up. Mmmm Thank the great cat for Fancy Feast!

Hopefully next week mom will have more time to update my diary.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Doods!!! OMG Saturday night I escaped, for good! No really I did, I was outside for like an hour. Okay so I ate some grass, I ran around. It was dark but I had a good time anyway. Then I heard mom come outside with the dog. I wanted to tell her what Iâ€™ve been doing. But Teaka saw me and chased me away. I saw mom run in the house, and I saw her on the side deck. I saw her face and she was mad, so I ran in the house. Pepz is one of my favorite people now, he lets me outside. Well no, he doesnâ€™t let me outside. He is old and sometimes doesnâ€™t shut the door right. Perfect opportunity for me to go outside. I had a blast! 

Yesterday mom and I played so much, I had such a good time. I didnâ€™t knock anything off moms bureau! I didnâ€™t feel the need to be bad. We played for like 2 hours. I jumped, ran, climbed. Oh and the good part, I didnâ€™t breath funny! Itâ€™s a miracle, Iâ€™m cured! Not really, but itâ€™s a nice thought.  
~Hunter, let me write now. â€“Mom
No, Iâ€™m writing to all of my friends about my adventure.
~You better remember it because its your last adventure. â€“Mom
Iâ€™m almost done. Ughâ€¦

Anyway, sorry about that, mom is wanting to write in my diary. You know, I think she should get her own and stop trying to write in mine all the time. I probably should let her, or I wonâ€™t get any treats. 

Words of advice: Watch the slider, itâ€™s a perfect place to make your escape!
~HUNTER!!! â€“Mom
Sorry momâ€¦

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

Well since Saturday night, things are better. Iâ€™m not upset, which is good.  Hunter has been good. Then again, I have been playing with him for hours. Literally. Last night, I played with him for 2 Â½ hours.  Not rough play, just with his wand toy, to get his energy out. Seriously though 2 Â½ hours and he still could of played more. He wasnâ€™t breathing funny, which I was surprised at. So we kept at it.  He wants to play all the time. The little 15 minute flick of his wand toy is not going to keep him quiet. He wants to PLAY! The good thing of all this playing is that he zonks out at night. I went to bed early last night and he hopped on the bed and laid in my spot, the lil brat! With some coaxing I moved him over and he laid against my back. Reminded me of Hanna.  He is so good when I give him my undivided attention, and when I play with him. I had no issues with him at all yesterday. He was actually really well behaved!!

I did talk with my parents, and they do realize what Hunter means to me.  I suppose that I have to be more understanding, knowing that they are older and their reflexes arenâ€™t what they used to be. I wasnâ€™t mad at them, alright maybe slightly. I was just really upset that Hunter could of gotten in a fight, or hit by a car, or attacked by coyotes. My mother did mention to me that I should be lucky my parents donâ€™t let Hunter fend for himself outside. They do try to keep him in. I know they do and I know what the problem is, Iâ€™ve seen it for myself. The problem is my father. Well no, he isnâ€™t the problem, the issue is, he is the type of guy to be outside constantly. He will go out and in via the slider and will leave it open a crack. Hunter is so darn skinny he just slips out. I think I might put a sign on the wall or something, saying â€œCLOSE THE SLIDER DOORâ€ or â€œWATCH OUT FOR CATâ€. I also need a better Ssscat deterrent for the back door. It works, but I ran out of air.  I would get one for the slider, but in the summer it would be going off every 20 minutes or so, plus that is how the dog comes in and out. We do have a fenced in backyard, however after Saturday night, I now know that Hunter can easily jump it. 

I know my fellow catsters recommend a harness. I wonâ€™t do that. First of all, there are stray cats EVERYWHERE. My father easily feeds 4 or 5 of them. They arenâ€™t actually strays, they do have homes. Long story. Anyway Hunter is healthy besides his little heart blip and I donâ€™t want him in contact with those cats. Second, those cats are big and Iâ€™ve seen them fight each other on occasion, I donâ€™t want my white boy stained red. Third, they spray. I have actually seen them do it. Nasty habit, and I donâ€™t want Hunter shown how to do it. Last of all, we have fleas and ticks around here. I donâ€™t want my white boy covered in dirt, with bugs crawling all over him. Just gross.  So yes, that is why I will not let Hunter outside, even supervised. 

So about Hunter escaping. I really need to figure out a way to keep him in. Maybe some automatic toy while Iâ€™m out sometimes to keep him occupied. Or a catsitter dvd. I do have a tv plus dvd player in my room. Hmmm that is an option. Any of you guys buy those for your cats?

Thanks for all the comments. I know Iâ€™m not a bad mom, I just donâ€™t want people to think I am. I want to personally talk to the person who said or thought of â€œCats calm down after being spayed or neuteredâ€. I want to bring Hunter to him, and be like â€œHere, take him for a day and see how calm he isâ€.  :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Huntys mom here.  I am so upset and mad, I don't really know what to do with myself right now.  I went out tonight. I was gone for about 4 hours. When I left, Hunter was sleeping.  I came home and he didn't greet me at the door.  He wasn't in his bed.  Wasn't in the other 2 bedrooms, or on the window sill, or the bathroom.  I figured he was mad that I left and crammed his bum under my bureau.  I went about my business and when he didn't come out, I felt a ill anxious.  I got his treats out and shook them.  That always gets a response from him, nothing happened.  Thats when the search began.

I got the flashlight and looked under the bed, bureau, on top of the entertainment center, under the rest of the beds. Now I'm starting to panic.  I live with my elderly parents (dont ask, long story).  I asked my father if he saw Hunter. First he said no, and then He said " about an hour ago".  For some reason, I felt the need to look outside.  Teaka the tattletail dog came with me.  I looked under the deck, no Hunter.  Teaka ran to the gate and I saw this white flash running, and then I noticed Hunters tail.  OMG HE IS OUTSIDE!!!!!  I freaked out. I called him, and he wouldn't come near me because the dog was going ballistic.  I ran in the house and went to the back door, I opened it, and Hunter was already on the side deck, he ran in.  

Now I'm mad.  I don't know how long he was out there.  There are already fleas and ticks around. I'm mad that no one in my house cares about him but me.  They don't care what happens to him.  He could of gotten hit by a car!  I think he might of gotten in a fight, because I pulled a clump of fur from his chest.  He isn't bleeding and seems to be fine.  Now all he wants to do, is go back outside.  I've had enough cats in my life to know that once a cat goes out, they want to go out all the time.  They will whine by the door.  I didn't want Hunter doing that.  Now I'm paranoid that he has fleas.  I combed him with a flea comb, and didn't see anything.  

I'm just so upset.  I feel like my parents don't care if he is here or not.  Hunter is like my kid.  I do everything for him.  All I ask is that they keep him inside,  I guess I'm upset because I could of lost him for good.  There are so many stray cats around here that fight all the time.  He's so jittery. Any little noise and he jumps.  I can't even finish this. I'm so upset.  

I feel like a bad mom.

Huntys mom,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I escaped yesterday, not once, but twice! You guys can just call me the Escape Master! The first time, I got in trouble.  Got the â€œescaping discussionâ€.  I swear my mom has a discussion for everything I do wrong.  Iâ€™m polite and listen to her, but seriously, Iâ€™m just going to do it again. Okay so anyway, I escaped, went into the backyard and someone scooped me up from behind and brought me in. Got in major trouble for that one. Then I waited a few hours. Mom was home from work this time, and she noticed the screen door was open. She ran to the deck and saw Pepz trying to get me inside. You know, something smelled kinda funny and I saw mom so I ran inside on my own.  Mom took my toy away. Ugh, my favorite toy in the entire world, and she locked it away for the night. Although I did play for about 45 minutes before she took it away, so I was okay with it.  This morning I had to make sure my toy was okay. So I pawed at the drawer its in, and mom said â€œWeâ€™ll play when I get home Hunty. But only if I get a report that youâ€™ve been good and no escaping!â€ I didnâ€™t like that at all! So, I grabbed moms elbow held on with my big paws, bit her, and proceeded to bunny kick her hand. Thatâ€™ll show her! Because Iâ€™ve been escaping, mom is going to put frontline on me! Ewwwww I hate that stuff, makes me act kinda funny. Its either that or fleas, and I donâ€™t want any fleas!  Anyway, mom has to get back to work, she is super busy!!

Hope you all have a nice weekend! Oh and donâ€™t try to escape, because your mom might take your favorite toy away. Ughâ€¦.

She's been busy at work, and will be for the next couple of weeks, because one of her other coworkers is on vacation.  Anyway, I've been kinda bugging mom lately.  I want to play constantly.  If I don't play, I become bad.  It's great ya know.  That way mom has to play with me.  Well, I gotta go.  Mom has to keep my entries short and sweet, she is busy.  I'll update when I can.

Thanks for the DDP!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom got a new mattress yesterday for her bed. Oh boy is it big!!! I can barely jump on it. Mom has to crawl into the bed. I think she ordered one that was a little too big. Thats okay though. I like the bed. Its super comfy. Its a memory foam mattress. I really don't know what that is, but I like it! I still sleep in the same spot, next to moms face. I didn't wake mom up last night, I didn't walk all over the bureau and knock things down. I was a very good boy and slept with mom. She is proud of me. Mom had the window open yesterday. I tried to climb up the screen. She kept on saying No. I don't know what the big deal was. Its not like I was escaping or anything like that. She always wants me to be good. I just can't do it. Its not in my nature to be good. I wanna be bad!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said that all of my friends are fooled into thinking I'm a nice boy. Mom says I'm not nice. Okay so I've been really bad the past two nights. Mom hasn't been sleeping because I keep waking her up. Its not like I wake her up, well I do and I don't. Okay so moms bed is next to her bureau with a big mirror on top. Its super easy to get on the bureau. Lately I've been on the bureau knocking things off. Mom will hear me, get up, put me on my platform, pick up the things on the floor and go back to bed. Now, I think its a game. Its pretty fun. Mom is not happy!! Also, sometimes I'll walk on the bed while mom is snoozing and headbutt her. I want her to wake up and play with me. Okay so yes we play when mom gets home for about an hour. Now I'm used to it and want to play all the time. 

Ugh, mom said she is too tired to write in my diary right now. On a better note, she didnt get mad at me last night because it was my Gotcha day! hehehe....

Ya know, I do remember not so long ago, mom wanted me to get into trouble! I knew I should of got that in writing. I was climbing everything, knocking things off of her bureau, whining, biting, just being bad! Mom didnt sleep very well last night, maybe 4 hours, if that. She is super tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I was a DDP yesterday! Mom didn't even let me post in my diary. She usually doesn't go on catster on the weekends. But my friends do!! Thank you everyone who left me comments, pressies, and pawmails! Its much appreciated. I have been very good lately. Just as long as mom plays with me, I'm good to go! Mom and I play all the time now. Its wicked fun! 

Mom used me as a pillow again last night. I was laying on my spot on the bed, on my back stretched out. I woke up and moms head was on my belly, I had my paw around her head, and I decided it was a good time to give her a facial. She got up and moved to her own pillow. I think I'm gonna roll in some black dye, that way she won't think i'm her white pillow. Ugh mom is so crazy sometimes!

Gotta go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been a very good boy lately. I did cause a bit of trouble yesterday. Well it wasnâ€™t really all that bad. I jumped onto the entertainment center, because mom wasnâ€™t playing with me. The stoopid dog ratted me out, again! One of these days, Iâ€™m gonna smackety paw that dog! Finally mom played with me. I didnâ€™t jump or do any flips, mom doesnâ€™t want to chance it. But I did stalk my wand toy, wiggled my butt and attacked it! I even ate all my dinner last night. Finally, mom has found a system that works for me! It only took her two years. I eat my breakfast, then when mom comes home I have some kibble to crunch on, then before dinner, mom puts my kibble away and gives me more wet food for dinner. Plus she has been playing with me two times a day, in the morning, and at night. I think all the playing makes me hungry. This is great because mom doesnâ€™t get mad because she throws most of my dinner away. I never would eat all of my dinner.  So this is great news. Mom is pretty happy. 

She did wake me up from my nap yesterday. I made a funny snoring noise and she wanted to make sure I was still breathing. Seriously mom, câ€™mon now. I was dreaming I was attacking something and you had to go ruin it.  Lately I canâ€™t wait for mom to come home, because we play all the time! Its fantastic! I did kinda bite mom yesterday. Well she wouldnâ€™t stop touching and inspecting me. So I clamped down and bunny kicked her hand. She deserved it.  I donâ€™t really lay down at night with mom. I just know she is going to listen to make sure Iâ€™m still breathing. Ugh Okay, lets get this straight. There is nothing wrong with my breathing! I snore. Yes I am a mancat and we snore. I do have a little blip with my heart but my vet isnâ€™t worried and mom shouldnâ€™t be either.  I wish she would stop staring at me and inspecting me. Oh and I really wish she would leave my wand toy out while she is at work. That way, I would play all the time!

Oh and my friends the Tabbies, you know the guys and Dai$y who love fish? Well they gave me an idea yesterday. Mom opened the window, and I sat on top of the stoopid burd cage waiting for him to escape. No such luck. But the window was open.  :)

Gotta go, time to check on the fishtank!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh geez, mom looks at me all the time now. If I make a noise, she comes and inspects me. Seriously mom, I'm fine! I still want to play, I still eat my food. I even ate all my dinner last night. She is such a worrier!!! I even greet mom when she comes home from work, I lead her to the bedroom where my wand toys are. I sit infront of the drawer and wait for her to play with me. She listens when I breathe, and she can't hear anything. I'm as silent as ever. No breathing issues unless I play too rough. Even the vet said it is probably scar tissue from when I was little. 

So mom told me she is going to try and be relaxed as possible, as she has noticed i'm a bit uptight too. I don't like it when mom freaks out. In 6 months she is going to bring me to see a cardiologist. Just to make sure I'm a-okay. 

Now doods, listen to this... She wants me to cause trouble. I wonder if I should get that in writing. She said that it'll help her relax and not to worry so much about me. If she knows I'm still capable of getting in trouble, then she feels like I'm alright. 

Ugh, are your pawrents worriers like my mom? I think she could go to some sort of Worrier Anonymous meeting!

I'm gonna go see if I can get that wellness pouch that I saw in the cabinet this morning. I love ripping open the package and licking all the gravy! Hope Pepz doesn't sit on my "package destroying chair"!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, he pooped!  I was happy when I cleaned his litter box this afternoon.  Anyway, I tricked him into going in his carrier.  He sounded so pathetic in the car.  If he could of sat on my lap in the car he would of.  We got to the vets office and they took him in right away.  They always do.  The vet tech weighed him. Hunty weighs 9 lbs 12oz.  The same as last year, minus 1oz.  The tech asked if I had any issues I wanted to discuss. Of course I wanted to talk about his weight, food and I also wanted to talk about his snoring and his breathing when playing.  So after she weighed Hunter he ran back into his carrier and I had to pry him out when the vet showed up.

The vet came in, and Hunter was like glued to me. She examed him. Checked his eyes, nose, ears, tummy, and coat.  Then she talked about his weight. She kept on reassuring me that Hunter is of perfect size.  She made a good point that people are used to seeing chubby cats. People perceive that as normal. So when you see a regular sized cat, one that weighs as much as it should like Hunter, the owners often think the cat is too skinny.  I told her that since he grew, he should weigh more. She said not necessarily.  I said, well for his size, should he weigh more? She said no, even though she called him a large size cat.  She also said that I should be grateful he isn't the type to over eat.  

I mentioned his snoring, and she said that some cats do, and it's not an issue to worry about.  I then mentioned how he breathes funny after I play rough with his toy.  She asked questions about that, and said that if it gets worse, to bring him back in.  She also mentioned that some owners play too rough with their cats, making them jump and do backflips.  Ummm.... Guilty.  

Then she listened to his heart for what seemed like 5 minutes.  She counted the beats. Listened when Hunter was relaxed and when he was squirming.  Hunter has a sinus arrhythmia when he is relaxed.  His heart has a delay when it beats. I mentioned HCM, she said that she really doesn't think it's an issue at the moment. I needed to hear her say that Hunter does not have HCM.  She said that maybe in the future he might have a heart issue, she couldn't say for sure.  She also said Hunter does not have a murmur. He has a delay.  I asked her about a cardiologist. She said that for right now, it's not necessary, although if I wanted an ultrasound I could get one.  I asked her what would she do, she said she would wait, as its just an arrhythmia, and everything else is normal.  So now, as the worrier type that I am, I'm freakin just a tiny bit.

Overall, Hunter is all set for next year.  I have to watch his breathing and if that gets worse, to bring him in.  As for his heart issue, she feels comfortable leaving it alone for now, and if I notice him being lethargic to bring him in.  

I knew something was going on.  It's so odd how my gut instinct is always right.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think he knows, he is going to the vets today. I purposely cleaned his litter box before bed last night (Normally I do it after I come home from work) hoping he would poop during the night and I could put it in multiple bags/Tupperware and put it in the fridge this morning. The little brat didnâ€™t even pee last night. I think he knows. Iâ€™m going to be so embarrassed if the vet presses on his tummy and a poop shoots out of his bum! LOL  Iâ€™ll check his box when I get home. There better be poop in there. 

Iâ€™m nervous and excited for him to go. I hope he doesnâ€™t give me a hard time going into his carrier. Weâ€™ve been practicing this past week, and so far so good. Iâ€™m definitely going to mention to the vet how skinny he is. Its really bothering me. I hope we leave the vets with a clean bill of health. I think I might ask them to take some blood anyway. I have this gut feeling something isnâ€™t right with him. Canâ€™t really pinpoint it, but I could be wrong. I over analyze everything when he comes to Hunter. I inspect him like a monkey. Its actually rather sad. 

His appointment is at 4:00. So Iâ€™ll probably update this tonight and let everyone know how it goes. There better be poop in his box when I get homeâ€¦

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™m so disappointed!! No one is bidding on my auction to get rid of mom. Câ€™mon doods, lets make this happen.  Ugh, guess Iâ€™m stuck with her. She has been giving me treats, and fancy feast, so I guess thatâ€™s good right? Weâ€™ve been practicing going in my carrier. Iâ€™ve been a very good boy about that! Mom will give me a treat and then kind of make a trail with my treats so I end up in the carrier. Itâ€™s been two days now, and mom is very proud of me. Yesterday, she even zipped me in! I started to get nervous after 2.5 seconds, so she unzipped it and said I was a very good boy and gave me more treats.  Now, this morning I know that I get treats when I go in my carrier, so I walked in all by myself. I walked out and there were no treats out for me. Seriously mom? I only get treats when you give them to me? But I walked in my carrier all by myself! Ugh! See what I mean, I still think she needs to go up for auction. 

Yesterday I was locked in the bedroom most of the day, because the babies were over. Caitlin chases me, and the little one crawls and points at me. I get really nervous. Mom doesnâ€™t want me to scratch them, so she puts me in the bedroom where I take a nap. She comes in sometimes to see how Iâ€™m doing and to make sure I donâ€™t get in trouble. Then mom came in with both babies, and it was naptime. 
Caitlin sat up in bed and said â€œAuntie, what Snowflake doing?â€ 
Mom said â€œWho is Snowflake?â€ 
Caitlin pointed to me.  
Mom said â€œOhhh, thatâ€™s not Snowflake, thatâ€™s Hunterâ€ 
â€œAuntie, what Hunta doing?â€ 
Mom said â€œHunter is just waking up from his nap. Now its time for you to nap.â€
I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Those babies were taking over the bed! I think there should be a rule of no babies in the bed. 

Today mom and I are going to practice going into my carrier again. Iâ€™m getting really good at it. Oh and now that Iâ€™m actually going in it, mom is super glad she got the x-large. There is no way a sheltie dog can fit in it. I donâ€™t know what the company is thinking when they post a picture of a dog in it. Seeâ€¦ <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.sturdiproducts.com/Images/gallery/Gallery_28032011125904PM1.jpg">Sturdi Carrier with Sheltie</a> I fit in my carrier, but I need to duck to get in it. Iâ€™m a rather tall boy, and my tail sticks out. So mom always has to move my tail to zip it up. Iâ€™ll let you guys know how my vet appointment on Tuesday goes. Oh, remind mom she needs some of my poop. I know sheâ€™ll forget.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, you got that right. Iâ€™m putting my mom up for sale! I donâ€™t know how much to ask for her. Is $100 too little? That wonâ€™t even buy me a decent cat tree. I bet youâ€™re asking, why am I putting mom up for sale? Well I got mad this morning. She doesnâ€™t know why, but Iâ€™ll let you guys know.

1. She wouldnâ€™t leave me alone last night. Always petting me. Ugh enough already! Iâ€™m not a toy!
2. This morning she wanted a facial. I didnâ€™t want to because she wouldnâ€™t leave me alone. She didnâ€™t get the hint and then tried to strangle me by cuddling!
3. I didnâ€™t have my fancy feast for 3 days. This alone should be the reason she is up for sale. 
4. Mom wonâ€™t give me my kibble everyday. She said Iâ€™m lucky that I get kibble at all!
5. She wonâ€™t play with my wand toy when I ask for it. She plays with me when SHE feels like it. Unacceptable. 
6. Mom made an appointment for me to go to the vets. That is just wrong. 
7. Mom wonâ€™t wake up when I tell her to. Especially on the weekends. As a last resort I have to pull her hair. This is infuriating!
8. Mom wonâ€™t let me go in the bathroom while she takes a shower. She said that is not allowed in this house. 
9. Sometimes I think she likes the dog better that she does me. 
10. I havenâ€™t had any temptation treats in MONTHS! Do you know how long that is??? Totally unacceptable. 

Those are the main reasons she is going up for sale. I need to get rid of her soon because my vet appointment is on Tuesday. I need a new mother by then. I canâ€™t go to the vets. Who wants to start off the bidding??

So I need a new mother. Qualifications: Has to be nice. No hitting/kicking/meanness allowed. Will let me sleep next to her face. Has to be willing to play with my wand toys at a moments notice. Will give me all the fancy feast/kibble I want. Will not give me any turkey food. YUCK! Will allow me to escape outside so I can play with the big boys. Has to have a nice forehead so I can give facials daily. Oh and she has to be a catster member so I can keep up with my diary. Other qualifications TBDâ€¦

Anycat willing to buy my mom and know of a good future mother for me, donâ€™t hesitate to pawmail me! 

But shhhh donâ€™t tell mom, she doesnâ€™t know shes up for sale!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom did it yesterday. I saw her on the phone talking toâ€¦ them.  She made my appointment at the vets. I really donâ€™t think I should have to go there. I mean, Iâ€™m not sick.  Last year was stupid. They put stuff up my nose, and gave me a shot. I was a big boy and didnâ€™t even flinch! Shouldnâ€™t that shot last a few years? I donâ€™t wanna go to the vets. Mom said the appointment is next week. She made it then because we have to practice going in and out of my carrier like a good boy.  Practice makes perfect. Oh and the lady on the phone talked about my poop. The lady told mom to put my poop in the refrigerator. Ewwwww, mom is going to double bag it, put it in a plastic bag, in a Tupperware in the fridge.  So gross!  I donâ€™t understand why they want my poop. Everyone poops. They can look at their own. 

So mom is going to put my carrier in the living room today, and every day until next week, we are going to practice walking in and out of my carrier. Last time I went to the ER vet, it was horrible. Pepz picked me up and shoved me my into my carrier while mom zipped me up. I was traumatized! Mom is going to try and make it a smoother process for me this time. 

I really donâ€™t see why I need to go to the vets. There really isnâ€™t anything good to look at over there. Itâ€™s a cat only vet, so I wonâ€™t see any rabbits like Gleek used to. No fish, dogs, lizards, stoopid burds. Nothing good. Its boring. There is a resident cat there. But hes old and is always sleeping.  

I think my mom is trying to murder me. Loving parents wouldnâ€™t bring their cat to the vets would they? Nooooâ€¦. Ugh

She is gonna get it later on! Massive trouble is coming her way! Watch out mom!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

P.S Like my irish name? hehehe

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom left me on Saturday. She spent the night at Aunties house. I missed her. I whined and whined. No one to play with me.  So when I heard moms car pull up in the driveway last night, I ran to sit on the cabinet by the back door. She opened the door and there I was. She stopped and I licked her. She said â€œHiya Big Boy, miss me?â€ I meowed.  I followed her to the bedroom and sat in front of the bureau where my wand toys are. She didnâ€™t play with me. She watched tv for a little bit and then I took a nap. Its exhausting waiting for mom to come home. Mom read her book for a little bit and then went to bed. I stayed next to mom all night long. I kept on licking her, making sure she was still there. I missed mom a lot! I walked on her a few times. I pulled her hair to make sure she got up and pet me.  She got up and I headbutted her a few times. She held me and I licked her face. Oh boy I couldnâ€™t get enough of mom.  She said she had to take a shower and get ready for work. I wanted to go too! So she walked towards the bathroom and mom quickly tried to shut the door. I stretched up and banged against it. It wouldnâ€™t shut. Mom picked me up again, I gave her headbutts and she said that â€œI have to take a shower Hunty, Iâ€™ll be out in a few minutes, be a good boy and go playâ€ Somehow I developed the zoomies, and I zoomed around the livingroom.  Mom got ready for work and then walked towards the door. I ran infront of her. She picked me up and put me on the dryer, and then ran out the door. Now I have to wait a long time until she comes home. I miss her already!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess I forgot a couple important dates in my life.  I completely forgot it has been 2 years since my angel Hanna has left me. I miss her. She was almost 11 when she died. Iâ€™ve been thinking about her a lot lately. I found some pictures of her, and actually I found her collar. That was tough. Holding her collar knowing she wore it. I tried to see if it smelled like her, it didnâ€™t. Actually it was Hunters friend Monida who gave Hanna a rosette, is what reminded me of her passing.  Part of me thinks she was my soul kitty, but then again, I think I would have the same reaction if something happened to Hunter.  Hanna was with me through it all. Breakups, moving, family members dying. She was that constant in my life, she was there when I just needed someone and no one was there. Hanna was. The epitome of a lap cat.  

She wasnâ€™t the only one I forgotâ€¦

It was Teakas birthday yesterday! I didnâ€™t notice how the two instances connect until just now.  Both on the same date. I feel horrible. Teaka is 3 years old. Old lady! She has been doing so well with her calming collar! Iâ€™m proud of my overgrown blonde gerbil, as I call her.  Anyway, I have to go. Time to go home!

Have a great weekend

Mom of Hunter, Teaka and Angel Hanna,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I have been in a rut for a while now. She comes home from work, I run to where my wand toys are. She takes her jacket off. Says "Hiya big boy". I meow. She talks with Memz and Pepz. I try and get her attention. She uses the restroom, while I wait out in the hall and whine. Finally we play with my toys. I drag it all over the house. Mom watches me like a hawk to make sure I don't eat it. Mom eats dinner. Then watches tv or reads a book, while I nap. Mom feeds me, and then goes to bed. I wake up, eat, and then plop down next to mom for the night. Until about 1:00am then I'm up and getting in trouble. Its the same thing everyday!

So last night I decided to change things up a bit. Usually when I plop down next to mom, my head is next to moms head, and my back is usually against her. Most of the time when mom wakes up, she pets me and I lick her face. She does this a couple of times during the night. Well, last night I flipped over. My butt was next to moms face. She was really tired and didn't notice until it was too late. She was petting my bum, and cuddling up to it. I was looking at her kind of wondering what the heck she was doing. Mom was still sleeping and thought my face was there. I thought it was pretty funny. Mom was cuddling up against my bum!!! Thank goodness I was clean and didn't do a poopie yet. When mom woke up, she looked at me and said "What is your face doing down there big boy? And did I cuddle up against your butt??" I got up and headbutted her. She had to take a shower, she was grossed out.

Wanna gross out your parents? Just take a poopie and have them cuddle up against your bum! Problem solved, we aren't in a rut anymore!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its true ya know. All you have to do is write about poop and youâ€™re bound to get a DDP. YAY! So I was a pretty good boy this weekend. I didnâ€™t do anything badâ€¦ yet. We all know thatâ€™ll come later. Sometimes when I get a DDP I let it get to my head and then I walk around the house like I am king of the world. 

I want to play all the time now. I run to the bedroom and sit in front of the bureau where my wand toys are. I whine and stretch up to see if I can reach it. Mom has been playing with me everyday, to get some of my energy out. Well I get to run, release my energy, so I wonâ€™t be bad. But sometimes afterward, I get the zoomies. Oh well.  

I have to go see what kind of trouble I can get into while mom is at work! Maybe Iâ€™ll go fishing!

Happy DDP to me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It came in the mail yesterday.  I tried to get it before mom did. She is really fast sometimes. It was the mailer from my vet saying that mom needs to make an appointment for me. They want her to bring some of my poop. Ewwwww.  Its times like that when mom wishes I could poop on command. I poop at all different times of the day. Morning, night, during the day, while mom is in the shower. It all depends on when my poop decides to show up.  Iâ€™ve even seen my poop shoot out of my bum while I had the zoomies. That has only happened once though. But it did happen!  Mom is going to wait until after baby Isabelleâ€™s first birthday which is in 2 weeks. Then she is going to make an appointment. In the meantime, I think mom is going to try and trick me into walking in and out of my carrier. Last year I was traumatized! Pepz actually held me and put me in upside down while mom zipped up the carrier. Oh my eyes were big and black and I whined the whole way there, which is only a 5 minute drive. 

Maybe Iâ€™ll hold in my poop so she canâ€™t bring it to the vets. Why do they want poop anyway? Iâ€™m sure they poop, canâ€™t they get their own poop to look at? Why do they want mine? My poop is spectacular sometimes. Its miracle poop as it doesnâ€™t leave any residue on my white floofy pants. TMI huh?  ;)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, things are going okay. Iâ€™ve been a pretty good boy, although mom says Iâ€™m talking a lot more than normal. Now, mom and I have conversations. Mom has been playing everyday with me using my wand toy. Itâ€™s a good time. I run, jump, spin, backflip, and even catapult in the air! Apparently mom thinks that itâ€™ll let out some of my energy. Hmmm nope.  Mom is starting to think Iâ€™m still part kitten, because Iâ€™m still growing. Yep, you got that right folks, Iâ€™m 2 years old and still growing. Now, I barely fit on my platform. Mom noticed it yesterday that my feet were dangling off of it. My neck is getting bigger too. She felt to make sure my collar wasnâ€™t too tight, and well, its almost snug! When she got my collar she made sure 2 fingers could get underneath, and that was a few months ago.  Iâ€™m eating more too! Now, I almost finish my dinner everynight, and mom has been giving me a snack when she gets home from work. So now I eat between 7 and 9 ounces of food a day! Iâ€™m still skinny as ever though, so I think the extra food is going to my muscles from all that playing. Next month, mom is making my 2 year appointment at the vets. 

So Iâ€™ve been really good since Memz fell down. She is getting her stitches out today. Iâ€™ll have to make sure I give her a facial to make up for being bad. Oh I almost forgot. Its Valentines Day! Mom said this morning â€œHunty, youâ€™ll always be my Valentine, big boy!â€ I canâ€™t date yet, Iâ€™m still a Dreamboat in Training after all. Next year though I should be a full fledged Dreamboat and when that happens, watch out all you ladies. Hunty will be on the prowl!

Happy Valentines Day!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Things are better. Memz is sore which is understandable. My mom is mean though. Remember during Christmas I wasn't allowed near the Christmas tree and the tree shot out this spray at me? Yea well now the wall is now spitting the same spray at me. It only happens in the hallway by the door. I got sprayed yesterday. Mom seems happy that the Ssscat Deterrant spray works for me. Its only been there for a day. I'm sure I'll find a way to destroy it.

I was pretty good yesterday. I knew mom was stressed though. So I tried extra hard to be good. It was working up until Teaka ratted me out. I jumped ontop of the kitchen cabinets and was snoopin around to see what was up there, just a bit of dust. Nothing good. I wanted mom to lay down in the bed, but she didnt want to. So I whined, and whined and kept on running from the livingroom to the bedroom. Finally, mom got the hint. I ran infront of her while she walked to the bedroom. I jumped on my platform and rolled around. So mom got the iPad and was working on that for a bit. 

I slept with mom last night, nothing new there. Her stupid alarm went off like a bagillion times. Finally, I had to lick mom and tell her it was time to get up. She got up this morning and went into the bathroom to do whatever humans do in there. I was very needy this morning so I whined at the door, waiting. Mom ignored me and when she finally came back in the bedroom, there I was, on the bed, in moms spot. So mom got ready and went into the kitchen to give me breakfast. I had the zoomies and jumped behind the couch. She gave me breakfast and then had to leave. Now I don't get it. How come when mom walks in the hall, nothing happens, but when I try to go there, I get sprayed?? That thing scares me. 

I need to find a way to destroy it. Oh, mom wants to say a few words, so I better go!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

I just wanted to say Thank You to all who commented and left encouraging words on Hunters Diary yesterday. Sometimes Catster gets me irritated, but I know I could never delete it from my life. Situations like yesterday let me know that people do actually know what I'm going through and that I'm not the only one. Plus it helps to talk about Hunter and his craziness with people who actually know what I'm talking about. So, Thank you. I really appreciate all your kind words and advice.

Hunters mom,
Kelly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Huntys mom here. Well, he did it again. Escaped. This time my mother (who has had a stroke and not balanced) ran after him, down the ramp to our house. Hunter stopped when he got to the driveway, and my mother couldn't slow down. She fell. Lacarations to her arms, hands, elbows, knees and a big bump over her eye which needed stitches. Her eye is swollen shut and black and blue. Somehow I feel as if its my fault. I told her next time, to leave Hunter outside, come and get me and I'll get him. I know Hunter is like my kid, but I can't compare a cat to my mother. It just doesn't work that way for me.  I even mentioned rehoming him. And just the sound of that word in my head makes me cry. My mother didn't say, Yes rehome him. She said "Kelly, its an accident. Its not anyones fault" But my way of thinking is: If I didn't have Hunter, half of our possessions wouldn't be broken right now. My mother wouldn't of fallen.  I know my mother, and Hunter gets on her nerves. He gets on mine too, but sometimes he is just so out of control that I don't know what to do. My mom said that we need some sort of rule or contraption so he doesn't want to dart out of the house all the time. Any Ideas?

I've been in an Emergency Room part of the night, I'm tired, cranky and when I see Hunter, I just want to hug him. When I look at him, I cry. I don't want to rehome him, and I know some of you probably think I'm going to extremes. As I said before, I can't keep him if he is going to cause 'accidents' with my parents. I can't compare keeping Hunter, to my elderly parents falling down and breaking a hip. I just can't do that. If I can just find a way for him to stop escaping outside, and maybe to calm down a tiny bit I'd be okay. I need to make Hunters 2 year vet appointment next month. Hopefully the vet has suggestions. 

Hunters tired & cranky mom,
Kelly]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is having a hard time trying to remember that no one on catster is a vet/feline nutritionist. There are some days, like today, where she would just like to go off on some people. What they say/type is their opinion and basically there is no right answer to most questions here on catster. Obviously most people just go on their opinions or what is right for their cat. Sure there are facts about certain topics, but telling other catster members, something is right or wrong, is well... wrong. There are no right answers when it comes to opinions. Mom has a hard time letting that stick in her brain. It makes her mad. My mom always states her opinion and if no one likes it, no one has to read it. She is not a vet, far from it. However there are sometimes legitimate truths to what she says. Then there are those people who comment on something they know nothing about. Its like if a person would say, "cats don't have noses" Obviously that person would have never owned a cat. Mom is mad. I better not do anything bad tonight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My prayers have been answered!! It's about time mom understands. She wants to put the dog up for adoption!! This is great news.  Mom was upset earlier because Teaka keeps on throwing up the raw food.  I feel bad because mom doesn't know what to do anymore.  She asked memz and pepz if she could put Teaka up for adoption.  They said no.  So, back to kibble it is for her.  Ohhhh boy, I saw that bowl of dog kibble and I got so excited. Mom won't give me kibble anymore, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw the dog kibble.  So I snuck in from the left, then from behind.  Stupid dog ate all her kibble and I didn't get any!  So now mom is thinking of trying the raw food out for me.  She's nervous though.  Can I get fed canned and raw at the same time? Ugh, she is just going to stick with what she knows.  Mom can't handle two sick pets.  

So unfortunately Teaka has to stay here.  I really wish that dog would take a vacation.  Anyway, I gotta go, destroy something.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a weekend! Okay on Saturday mom left to get more fish for the fish tank. I think theyâ€™re kind of ugly. But mom did get this cool thing called a clam. It buried itself in the sand. I think it secretly knew I wanted to bat it around, so it hid from me. Auntie and the babies came over. They wouldnâ€™t leave! They even spent the night, which mom wasnâ€™t too happy about. I had to stay in the bedroom with mom all night long. Mom moved my litter box and my food in there so I wouldnâ€™t disturb the babies. Then on Sunday mom left again and came home with these 4 big pillows! She came in the bedroom and took my pillows away from me and replaced them with big poufy ones. She got new sheets for the bed and a new comforter, bed skirt, pillow shams, all that sort of stuff. Iâ€™m pretty excited for her to put this stuff on the bed. I love helping mom put sheets on the bed. I didnâ€™t like the new pillows last night though. Theyâ€™re too poufy and I canâ€™t sleep on them. Mom isnâ€™t too thrilled with them either. Theyâ€™re down pillows she said, and she is used to really yucky flat pillows. Guess itâ€™ll take some getting used to. So when mom comes home today, weâ€™re going to have fun making the bed all nice and pretty. I wonder if they make nice sheets and pillows for my big boy brown bedâ€¦ hmmmm

Now I have to wait 42 more days until the burds start coming around. Do you know how long that is? That is like 42 lifetimes for moths! If I lived in PA, I would go over there and give that yucky ground hog a smackety paw in the face!

That is all I have to say for now. Mom and I are NOT happy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She saw the evidence. I got caught. I did it because she wouldnâ€™t leave me alone last night. I cuddled up against mom, and she kept on petting me. Finally I started to bite. Thatâ€™s when she turned over and fell asleep. So I thought to myself â€œOh yea Mom? Iâ€™ll go and find my treats!â€ I walked to the kitchen and noticed that mom forgot to lock the cabinets. I opened one up and saw them. It was like the Great Cat from the ceiling put them there for me. I grabbed them with my mouth and walked to the living room. I jumped on my â€˜treat destroying chairâ€™ and proceeded to rip open the bag. I ate all the treats inside! They were the beef ones. Boy oh boy do I like me some beef!  I was too wired to go back to bed. So I hung out on the back of the couch. Mom woke up and noticed I was sitting there, which for me is very, very unusual. Mom turned around and saw the evidence on the chair. By this time, I jumped down and was rubbing against mom, waiting for her to get ready for work. Instead, she scooped me up, flipped me over and we had the â€œdestroying treatsâ€ discussion. I meowed that I wouldnâ€™t do it again, which in reality we all know itâ€™ll happen sooner or later. She put me down and went to the bathroom to do her hair. Mom came back into the bedroom and there I was, on the bed, crouched down ready to attack! She came closer, my eyes got big and black. She said â€œWhat are you doing nutcase?â€ I wiggled my butt and WHOOSH, under the covers I went. Mom sat down and attacked me through the covers. Boy, I had a good night last night, and this morning wasnâ€™t so bad either. 

Note to self: Next time blame it on the burd!

Mom is thinking of ditching the music anyway and going with a different service. Mix pod isn't cutting it anymore. She is getting a little annoyed working on the iPad though. We just got it about 3 weeks ago and she really doesn't know what she's doing.  She finally figured out how to cut and paste with it.  I guess mom is just a computer person. Anyway, I think you all should take a look at my page and leave me a cute message on my chatbox!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well this weekend, I wasnâ€™t bad, but I wasnâ€™t good either. I tried to go fishing. Tried, is the keyword here. Well I jumped on the end table next to the fishtank, but there was no room for me, and I fell down. When I fell down, I took the lamp with me and broke a few things. Everyone is used to me breaking things now and I donâ€™t even go into time out for it. Itâ€™s a great arrangement I have here.  

So I was looking at my friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/954934">Jezebel</a>â€™s diary and she has a chatbox! I think its pretty nifty. Mom tried to get one for me, but her stupid work computer blocks everything! Maybe when she gets home sheâ€™ll get a chatbox for me too.  What does a chatbox do? Mom canâ€™t even get to the website because her worked blocked it. Is it like instant messaging? I personally think catster should have IM. That would be wicked cool!!  

I played with the Monster under the covers this morning. I got wicked mad at it. I bit it and bunny kicked it. No matter what I did, it wouldnâ€™t die!! Finally I got fed up and layed down on my nanner. I donâ€™t really like to lick or bite my nanner. I just feel the need to lay on it. Make sure it behaves itself!

Anyway, I gotta go. So much to do today, tease the dog, jump where Iâ€™m not supposed to, eat, nap, play with my fuzzball, do a poopie, you know manly cat things!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Aliens did medical experiments on Teaka!! Iâ€™m serious. I went in my bed to take a nap, and when I woke up, she had this big clear thing around her neck. This is what it looks like: <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.doggieproductreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/313E9JAwg6L._AA300_.jpg">Plastic thing</a>
I donâ€™t know why they chose Teaka for medical experiments. Then again, Iâ€™m glad Iâ€™m not wearing that thing around my neck. It must give off some sort of electrical current, because Teaka keeps on whining. Its getting annoying. The aliens donâ€™t want Teaka to sleep with it, so during the night mom takes it off. Last night I had to make sure she was still herself and not some other dog. They could of swapped dogs ya know. She was playing with mom, and I came from behind and swatted her bum. Just to see the reaction. If nothing happened, that would have been a fake Teaka. But she turned around and chased me onto the couch. Thatâ€™s the Teaka I know! So its safe to say that the aliens didnâ€™t swap dogs, they just did a medical experiment on her. I think Iâ€™m gonna stick to sleeping with mom for the next couple of nights, I donâ€™t want any experiments done on me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so I sorta got in trouble this morning. Let me explain. It was really early this morning, about 4:30 or so. Anyway, we have a really big flat screen TV. Itâ€™s about 4 and a half feet off the ground, including the stand. I jump on it all the time. Itâ€™s a flat screen but the TV itself isnâ€™t flat. So itâ€™s sturdy to stand on. On either side of the TV we have wooden pillars with glass shelves. I always jump from the TV onto the pillars to get a good view of the living room. Okay so are you picturing it? Well remember that time I ate the lucky bamboo? Mom thought she threw away all of the plants in the house. But she didnâ€™t. There was a fake plant on one of the glass shelves that she missed. I found it this morning. I um, kinda went on the wooden part, and hung upside down so I could reach the glass shelf. I saw the plant, grabbed it with my mouth and flung it to the floor. Then mom heard my tag of my collar against the glass. (Remind me to destroy my collar later, it gave me away!)  She knew what was going on. Then â€œThud!â€ I landed on the floor and started eating the fake plant. Unfortunately I didnâ€™t eat any of it. I didnâ€™t know it was fake. Its hard to chew. Oh that plant was so cool, it even had fake roots!! Hunty 1, Plant and Mom 0!  Mom got up, and asked me â€œWhat are you doing?â€ I meowed and she took my plant away!! She put it in a cabinet and locked the doors so I couldnâ€™t get in there. Hunty 1, Mom and Plant 1.  She never lets me have any fun! So now, there are no plants in my house, fake or real. I bit mom, well I did my grab and hold technique on her arm this morning. I was mad she took my plant away!!

Then there was something underneath moms bureau. I know there is. I can smell it. So I was rolling around, pawing at it and mom said, â€œWhat are you doing now?â€ I tried to tell her there is a nice fuzz ball underneath there that I would like to play with. So, mom and I crouched down and tried to find it. Mom didnâ€™t see anything. You know, I think mom plays dumb. Its clearly there, I know it is. She kept on saying â€œI donâ€™t see anything Hunty. Go play with your nannerâ€ I donâ€™t want my nanner. I wanted my multicolor fuzz ball. Ugh, Iâ€™m so annoyed with mom today. She took away my plant, canâ€™t see my fuzz ball, playing dumb. But she did give me good fancy feast this morning. So I guess weâ€™re even. Hunty 1, Mom and Plant 1.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow I am so excited to be a DDP... again! Thanks Diary Gal! Now, I get to tell you guys about my fantastic new pressies! My birthday pressies finally arrived. Mom got me a Nanner! Its a Yeowww! Catnip Banana. I'm not too crazy over it. Although I have bunny kicked it a few times, trying to make sure it behaves. Mom thinks that in time I'll play with it. I do like my catnip chili pepper. Then I saw the most amazing toy ever! Its another want toy, that means I have 4 now. Its a smaller wand, with a leather, whip like cord and at the end there is this round ball of fur that looks like a mouse. At the end of the mouse there are 4 pieces of leather cord. So mom moves it around the carpet and it looks like a real mouse! Its fantastic!!! Its about a foot and a half long, so its not too long and its a perfect size to play on the bed! Mom and I played yesterday. Then this morning mom had a few extra minutes to play. This time, we played in the livingroom and I ran, jumped and finally I caught it. This is the part that poses the problem for mom. Once I catch it, I huff at mom and growl a bit. She knows to leave me alone. Then, while I still have the mouse, I walk to a safe spot. I carry the mouse in my mouth and drag the wand behind me. Mom always has to watch me. I have a tendency to destroy my wand toys. It was a great morning!!

I've been kinda mellowing out a bit. Mom just thinks its the weather. I'm sleepy all the time. Not really that hungry. So mom put Lysine in my food this morning. Hopefully that'll give me a boost. She is going to play with me more and maybe that'll get me out of my funk. Ever since mom bought me my big brown bed, all I wanna do is curl up in it and sleep. Maybe the bed wasn't such a good idea after all!  Anyway, mom took a picture of me with my nanner last night. She put it on my page, check it out!

Again, thank you Diary Gal for making me a DDP today!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got scared this morning.  Alright so Iâ€™ll tell you what happened. Mom unlocked the backdoor of the house this morning like usual. Normally I run in front of her hoping I get the chance to go outside, although that never happens. This morning, I stopped in the middle of the hall and I wouldnâ€™t go any further. Mom noticed this right away and said â€œWhats wrong Hunty?â€ I was staring at the washing machine and this big white thing on top of it. Normally I check everything out, to make sure its safe to come into the house. Mom said it was a laundry basket. This didnâ€™t look like a normal laundry basket to me. Mom told me that it was upside down. I donâ€™t know about that. It looked strange. So mom scooped me up and she slowly walked towards the basket. It didnâ€™t smell funny. We got closer and I didnâ€™t want anything to do with it. I tried to back away and climb on mom. She knew I was freaking out so, she walked with me to the kitchen. She kept on telling me that it was okay. She put me down and gave me some Fancy Feast. I must have been freaking out because I didnâ€™t want any!  I walked slowly back toward the washing machine and just stood there with my tail wagging. (yes, my tail wags. Mom thinks Iâ€™m part dog) Mom got her jacket on and was ready to leave. I ran in front of her and she picked me up and put me on the dryer so she could leave. Oh geez, there it was, the laundry basket! Before mom left she saw me get all puffed up and I jumped down and ran into the kitchen! Iâ€™m telling you guys, that laundry basket is evil!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you everyone for the nice comments and for the pressies!  I think all of my badness caused the diary gal to feel bad for me, so she made me a DDP!!  I've been a pretty good boy today, so far anyway.  It's only 3:30pm so I still have a little bit to go. But right now I'm taking a well deserved nap.  

Mom went to the doctors today, because she hasn't slept in a couple of nights.  I know because I lay right next to her.  So hopefully mom and I will be able to sleep tonight.  Fingers crossed.  Anyway, I'm gonna go snore some more.  I'm a DDP!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Before bed last night, I took a stroll over to the dogs bowl to get a couple of kibbles out for myself. Mom said no and put the bowl somewhere. I didn't know where it was. I kept myself busy most of the night up until about 1:00am and then everyone heard it. CRASH!!! Sounded like glass broke. Mom flew out of bed and there I was, eating the dog kibble. I found the bowl. I stretched up toward the shelf and with my big paws I grabbed the edge and it fell to the floor. The bowl broke into a million pieces. Perfect opportunity to eat some kibble. When mom found me, I was munching down on dog food. She put me in time out while she cleaned up. She let me out of the room and there I was, sitting next to mom, trying to find any stray pieces of kibble while mom looked for small pieces of the bowl. She found a kibble and flung it my way. Oh it tasted so good! Lamb, my favorite!

After the catastrophe, mom went back to bed. I joined her and stretched out. Mom didn't mind because she couldn't fall back asleep. So she read her book while I kicked her in the ribs. It was a good night I think. Mom looked really tired this morning though. Hope you all have a fantastic day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so apparently while mom was at work, Pepz was here painting. (Pepz, is moms father) I like Pepz, although he really doesn't like me. So he was painting the ceiling and I saw the cover of the paint can on the floor. I stepped in it, and decided to do some paw painting of my own on the floor! It was a beautiful design. Unfortunately no one liked it. Pepz quickly scooped me up and washed my paws. I really didn't like that. I wacked him on the hand a couple of times. Then he quickly washed the floor! My beautiful design, gone! He put me in time out. Thats okay. I heard him say he has to do a second coat of paint in a few days. I'll make a beautiful picture for mom. I'm sure she'll appreciate it!

Lesson for the day: Don't make artwork on the floor until everyone is gone, or they'll ruin it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my goodness, I was so hungry last night. Mom gave me Rabbit. Ehh, not my favorite. So I tried to go into the cabinets for some treats. Mom caught me though and put the locks on. Then I saw my kibble container. I figure, ohh maybe I can dump that over like before and have a kibble feast! Mom put the tupperware in a certain spot so that if I decide to tip it over, it wouldn't open up. Geez, mom is getting pretty smart. She fixed the tupperware and told me to go play. So I did. I have this big green mouse with real looking fur on it. Mom has found it everywhere. In the bedroom, in the hall, in the livingroom, kitchen, bathroom, and I even brought it in the tub once! Anyway, I was a pretty good boy last night. I slept with mom, but we've come to an agreement. I sleep on her left side and I'm not allowed to stretch out. Only in my bed I'm allowed to do that. I can put my head on the pillow but only on my side of the bed. Mom gets the rest of the bed for herself. Its working out okay, and mom is actually getting some sleep at night. 

Lately, mom thinks I've been rolling around in my litterbox. I jump on the bed and I'm full of litter, on my fur!! Mom spends about 5 minutes taking little balls of litter off of me. I've done this twice so far. I jump on the bed and then the bed has little pieces of litter on it. She hates that!  I was a very needy boy this morning. Hey, a mancat needs some lovin every once in a while. I'm kinda, sorta, becoming a lap cat. But Shhhh dont tell anyone! I like to sit on moms lap in the morning while she pets me. Sometimes I almost fall asleep! Well this morning after mom got dressed she noticed my fur all over her. I didn't see the big deal but apparently mom didn't like it. She got the lint roller out. She was rolling her pants, and her shirt. I wanted to see what it was, so I stretched up and tapped it. Mom kneeled down and I smelled it. Didn't smell bad. So she rolled my back. Ohhh it felt good! So I plopped down and let her do my belly. I like when she does the rolly thing on me. Then mom got up and noticed... Static!!! So she got a paper towel and wet it. Then she pet me with the towel. I got a little damp, didn't bother me. I was a very good boy this morning. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, Mom and I were so touched that so many of my friends stopped by to wish me a Happy Birthday. We were overwhelmed. I have way too many presents and comments to thank everyone individually, so a nice big THANK YOU, goes to all of my friends who left me pressies, comments, treats, pawmails etc. It was a great day. Can you guys believe it? I'm 2 now. Everytime I have a birthday, it reminds mom that I need to go see the vet soon. For my annual check up. Usually mom waits a couple of months. Last year I went in March, so maybe mom will do that again this year. 

This weekend mom was checking out my carrier. (its always out incase of an emergency) I was standing next to it. Mom thinks that I grew, or the carrier shrunk. Mom doesn't think I'll be able to lay down in it. I don't lay down in it anyway, usually I am all scrunched up inside because I get scared. For some reason, mom doesn't remember the carrier looking so small. She can't remember if she got the large or the x-large size. Hmmm...  well apparently after mom looked, she got the x-large. This is the exact same color we have: http://www.sturdiproducts.com/Images/Full/colorSwatch-SB3earthytan.jpg
Mom is a little confused, how can a medium size dog fit in there apparently, but I have to duck my head and scrunch up to fit? Anyway, I just hope I don't grow anymore, or mom will have to get a big dog crate for me! Gotta go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ â€œIts my Happy Birfday!!!â€ as moms niece would say. Can you guys believe it, Iâ€™m two!! Iâ€™m sure there are a whole bunch of things that I can do better now that Iâ€™m two. I can probably run faster, get bigger, meow louder, jump higher. I let mom sleep in the bed last night. I was a pretty good boy. I jumped on the bed this morning after her alarm clock went off and mom sang Happy Birthday to me! I had the zoomies, and I got some wicked yummy beef treats this morning! Normally I donâ€™t get treats, but I did today.  

Did you know that my birthday is on the same day as this wacky holiday?

Blame Someone Else Day  
When : The first Friday the 13th of the year 

What a great time you can have on this day. Imagine all the problems, errors, and mistakes you could heap on someone else today. On this day you don't have to take responsibility or blame for any faux pas on your part. On the downside, this day comes as a double edged sword. While you are busy putting the blame elsewhere, someone might just be putting the blame on you! 

So.......if ther is somethin wrong whif the spellin of this artickle, it's not my fallt.....its' yours.
 
Blame Someone Else Day could just be your day. But, watch out..... any blame you place today, can come back to bite you tomorrow. After all...what comes around goes around.
 
That is by far my favorite Holiday!!! Today, I blame everything on Teaka and Sam the burd! Yes, perfect day for my birthday to be on this year. Also, today is:


Make Your Dream Come True Day 
When : Always January 13th 

Make Your Dream Come True Day gives you the opportunity to do something to realize your goals and dreams. Whatever your dreams are, they usually don't come true without some effort on your part. So, today is the perfect opportunity to do something about it. 

On this day do something, anything, to move in the direction of achieving your dreams. Sure, sometimes it takes several steps to accomplish them. So view today as a time to get started on them. With a little effort, they will come true! 

I think today I am going to see if I can escape! Yea, Iâ€™ve escaped before, but maybe, just maybe Iâ€™ll be successful on my birthday! So I hope you all blame someone else today and that your dreams come true!  

Purrz & Birthday Licks,
Hunty

p.s. I'm Two!!  YAY!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh geez, everyone in my family is sick! First it was the brats that chase me, Caitlin and Isabelle. Then it was Auntie, and the one she married that barks at me. Mom is sick with a super duper yucky cold, and I got sick yesterday. I threw up on moms bed again, got sick on the rug, coughed up a huge hairball, and then ended with a splat on the floor of the hallway. Since then, haven't really been feeling myself. Just been sleeping a lot. Mom felt my nose and its wet and cold so I guess I'm okay. I'm still eating and using my box. I guess when I get sick, it scares me a bit. Mom is getting really lax in playing with me. She said she is going to kick it up a notch. I haven't had a real workout in a while! 

Anyway, mom doesn't feel very well so we're going to keep this entry short.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so in moms words my new bed is an â€œEpic failâ€. I really donâ€™t think so. I do sleep in it, just not at night. I slept with mom last night. She was not happy. I took over the bed, and then she tried tossing and turning for me to leave. Wasnâ€™t happening. Then it happened. Mom tried to pick me up to move me and I growled at her, and then I did my grab and hold technique and bunny kicked her arm. Mom said â€œHey Hey Hey, enough. Stop that. You know betterâ€ I woke up and looked at mom with the saddest face ever! I was dreaming and thought moms arm was a monster! I didnâ€™t get in trouble. I was scared so mom layed down with me and I gave her a facial.  Mom didnâ€™t get much sleep last night, between me in the bed and mom getting a cold. I might have to perform surgery soon. Just call me Dr. Hunter McFluffybutt!!

I almost killed Sam the Lovebird this morning. I wanted to take a good whiff of him, so I climbed on his cage. The cover came off and this plastic thing. Oh boy it scared me! I ran so fast. Mom got up to make sure everything was alright. The bird was still alive, darn it! Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, mom went out and bought me a new bed! She searched the internet, and went to 2 different stores before she found the right one. I'm a little embarrassed to say this, she um, didn't buy me a kitty bed. Have you seen the size of those? I could probably fit my 2 front paws in them. So tiny! Then mom went to the doggy section of the store. Even the small doggy ones are too small. Mom thought about this a lot. I have to have some Maine Coon in me. I'm a big boy!! Although I probably weigh a bit under 10 pounds I'm a physically large boy! Anyway, mom found a bed for a medium sized dog. Its brown. (Thank Goodness she didn't buy me a pink one, she always buys me girl colors) I'm pretty happy with my brown bed. Its big and I can stretch out. It has raised sides with a dip in the front so I can walk in. It has this comfy sherpa stuff on the inside and the mattress is foam, which is a few inches thick! So then mom put my fleece blanket in it, so I would be extra warm. She put it on top of the entertainment center and it fits perfectly!! No one can bug me, because no one can reach me. Problem is, mom can't see if I'm in it or not. She has to stand on the bed to take a look. :)  Well, mom put it up on Friday and I went right in! Mom didn't have to entice me at all. Its my bed, Teaka can't get in it, Mom can't reach in it. Perfect!!! Friday night I slept in my bed, and then around 4am, I layed down with mom until she had to get up at 5:30. She said that was okay. She is super duper proud of me. Actually I'm in my bed right now telling mom what to type. Mom said that this is going to be better for us both. Mom will get to sleep at night, and I won't be bothered by mom tossing and turning! Win win!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Huntyâ€™s mom here.  Hunter and myself had a great Christmas. I got him a stick of dynamite. No, I really did. It looks like a stick of dynamite but itâ€™s filled with catnip. He doesnâ€™t go crazy over catnip, but he likes to lick and bite it. I keep on wanting to get him a bed, because the sleeping arrangements have got to change. He completely occupied my pillow last night. Not kidding.  I tried to move him a couple of times but he got angry with me and tried to do his â€œgrab and holdâ€ technique with his mouth on my arm. So yesterday I went to petsmart to look at the beds. The cat beds are a joke. Well for Hunter they would be. He could probably fit 1/4th of his body in there. So I went to the dog beds. The small dog beds are too small.  So next up were the medium sized. Hunter could fit his body on the bed, but he would have to sleep curled up. Hunter doesnâ€™t sleep that way most of the time. He stretches out, and sleeps on his back airing out his arm pits and where his grapes used to be. Then I saw the large ones. I kept on thinking to myself, a large dog bed for an almost 10 pound cat. Iâ€™ve got to be crazy. So Iâ€™m looking around and they just look like oversized pillows. Hunter doesnâ€™t sleep on the pillow. He has to sleep up against something. His back as to be against me, or against the pillows at night. Then once heâ€™s comfortable he flips onto his back and thatâ€™s when the real fun begins. I found this round bed with a high back. But I couldnâ€™t justify spending $35.99 for a dog bed that would actually be for a cat.  Then, if/when I get one, I have no idea where to put it. Iâ€™m thinking on top of my entertainment center, which is solid wood. Its about 3 feet wide and about 4 feet long. Its 8 feet tall, and he would have to climb his cat tree to get there. No one could bother him up there, because no one could reach him. Iâ€™ll look at Petco this weekend to see what I can find.

You know, its been almost 2 years since I adopted Hunty. I think a man, and a dog got somehow mixed up and reincarnated into Hunter. His eyes light up when I enter a room or when I come home from work. I can see it in his face. He follows me everywhere. He was in the shower with me this morning. Usually thatâ€™s a big no-no, but he wouldnâ€™t stop whining. He is like a kid, a man, and a dog all in one. He whines like a kid, acts like a toddler. He snores and adjusts his â€œareaâ€ like a man. Hunter follows me and runs around like a crazed dog. The older he gets, the more needy he is becoming. Its been almost 2 years and it already feels like a lifetime.  In a couple of months Hunter is going in for his 2 year vet appt. I am going to ask for a sedative, and ask if they want him for a couple of days, just so I can have my entire bed to myself!!!

Ahh I needed to vent a bit.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a little upset last night. Mom went out of her way to buy presents for her co-workers animals. Well they didnâ€™t buy me anything! One of them bought something for Teaka which was nice of them, but you canâ€™t buy for one and not the other! Donâ€™t they know that Iâ€™m the favorite? Who sleeps with mom at night? I do! Who gives mom facials everyday? I do!  I figured mom just forgot my present in the bag. So I took a look for myself, and mom said â€œThey didnâ€™t buy you anything big boyâ€¦Sorry Loveyâ€ Thatâ€™s okay, Iâ€™m sure mom will get me a fantastic present and their cats will be jealous! 

On a better note, Iâ€™m a DDP today! I think it was the entry where a poopie shot out my bum that caught Diary Galâ€™s attention. I should mention my poopies more often! Iâ€™ve been a very good boy the past 2 days. Not causing trouble. I did get lost yesterday though. Pepz left the house but I thought he was mom! So I ran to the door and I sat there, crouched down meowing. Mom had to find me.  Anyway, I have to go finish my Fancy Feast. Mmmm I love breakfast!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a busy Sunday I had! Well in the morning hours I had to go do a poopie. Well, something scared me. Mom has no idea what it was, but I ran out of my box. And I mean I ran like a cheetah! I was scared shiâ€¦ erâ€¦ wellâ€¦ Poopless for lack of a better word. A Poopie, shot out of my bum and landed on the carpet. Mom didnâ€™t notice that until later. Another poopie came out of my bum and landed on the floor in the hall.  Oh boy did it smell! Yuck!  Then mom went out Christmas shopping, she didnâ€™t buy me anything yet I donâ€™t think. :( When she got home, I helped her wrap some presents for the babies! I think Mom is going to buy me my own bed for Christmas, and I think she has the perfect place to put it! I hope soâ€¦ Anyway I gotta go and sniff the presents. Maybe one of them has catnip for me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Uh oh, I think shes had enough! Mom sleeps with her head on a pillow and with a couple of blankets. Then she leaves me my spot to sleep on. Most of the time I sleep curled up against moms face. Well last night I decided to stretch out. So I kept on stretching and kicking mom in her ribs. She kept on waking up and trying to put me in my spot. I was sleeping horizontal, and mom was sleeping vertical. Didnâ€™t mix very well. Mom is starting to think that I donâ€™t belong on the bed and is trying to make up her mind on whether to allow me to sleep with her or not. I love sleeping on the bed next to mom. I lay on my back sometimes and stretch. Mom measured me once. When I stretch, Iâ€™m over 3 feet long. Thatâ€™s not including my tail. Imagine sleeping next to a 3.5 foot white furball. 

Mom thought of buying me a bed once. She doesnâ€™t want to waste money incase I donâ€™t use it, and where would she put it?  Mom is going to think about it some more. But she told me this morning â€œHunter, the sleeping arrangements have got to change.â€ She didnâ€™t sound mad, just tired. 

Maybe Santa Paws will buy me a super duper comfy bed for Christmas. I guess I would have to be on the nice list for that to happen right? If thatâ€™s the case, then I guess I have to stop getting into trouble for about a week. Oh geez, thatâ€™s a long time to be good. Iâ€™ll have to think about it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says Iâ€™m free to a good home! Iâ€¦ ughâ€¦ caused some trouble last night. The other day mom filled the Tupperware with my kibble. Its filled all the way to the top. I do get one scoop of kibble every other day, because I love me some kibble! Anyway, I didnâ€™t think the kibble in my bowl was fresh enough, so last night I dumped the Tupperware on the floor and kibble flew out everywhere! I ate most of it. But then this morning mom found it on the kitchen floor and had to clean up the rest of the kibble. Now, she is going to have to tape the Tupperware shut! Mom says that she has never had a cat like me, ever. Especially one that sleeps right next to her. I sleep pretty much right next to moms face. She woke up extra early today, she normally does on Thursdays anyway for her job, but I didnâ€™t want to wake up! I was laying next to her all stretched out, airing out my arm pits and mom tried to wake me up. Nope, wasnâ€™t happening. She kept on patting me and telling me to wake up because it was breakfast time. I got kinda irritated with her so I kept on putting my paw on her hand for her to leave me alone. Finally she said, â€œOkay Hunty, no breakfast for you thenâ€ and walked into the kitchen.  (That is when she saw the tipped over Tupperware.) I ran to the kitchen to see if I could eat the remaining kibble before she saw, but I was too late. So she cleaned up, and gave me my breakfast. I wasnâ€™t hungry. I just wanted to snuggle!! She walked towards the door again and I came running! She said that I wasnâ€™t allowed to go to work with her. Why not? I donâ€™t understand. I think Iâ€™d have a good time. Everyone loves hearing about my antics at work. Now, they could witness it!! Maybe Iâ€™ll sneak in her bag one of these days. I just wanna be with my mom all the time. 

I hope everyfur has a good day.

Hunty

p.s I didnâ€™t get in trouble for the tipped over kibble. It must have been too early to go in time out.  ;)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a very good boy yesterday.  I slept with mom all night long. Iâ€™m starting to wonder if mom thinks that the bed is hers. Its clearly mine. I donâ€™t know how she could be confused about the situation. I sleep on the bed, so therefore, its mine. I know it is. Anyway, mom had to get up for work this morning. She was on vacation last week. So after moms shower this morning, I decided it was time to play. She was busy so I played by myself. I had a good time! Then it was breakfast. I didnâ€™t want any, I just wanted to hang out with mom. Well, usually after breakfast she leaves. Well I blocked her way to the door. She stepped over me and I ran to the door. She told me â€œHunty, you canâ€™t come to work with me big boy. Its not â€˜Bring your white fluffy cat to work dayâ€™â€. So, she picked me up and brought me to my food. Oh, it smelled really good. Fancy Feast! Yum! 

I think every January 13th (my birthday) that it should be â€œBring your White Fluffy Turkish Van looking Maine Coon Mix cat to work day! 

Oh and mom is super duper proud of me! I haven't touched the Christmas tree at all!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunty's Christmas list 2011:

1. Big catnip toys that I can bunny kick

2. A whole bunch of Fancy Feast (only the good kinds of course)

3. Boxes of all sizes. 

4. Tons of new toys!

5. I secretly want the bird cage open so I can have my first live snack!

6. A new cat tree!

Thats all I can think of for now. I'll probably update this after I've had my breakfast. I hope that Santa Paws can get all of the things on my list. I have been a good boy, sort of. Hey, no one got hurt so technically I've been good.  :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today has been a strange day. Mom slept in, and I mean slept in! I tried to wake her at our breakfast time, but she told me to go away. She even picked me up and put me on the floor! Mom woke up at 9:30! That is super duper late for her, she said it felt great! Mom fed me and had some breakfast and then she put me in the bedroom. I didn't do anything bad, I swear. I don't know why I was in time out. When mom puts me on my cat tree and closes the door, thats time out. But I didn't do anything! So I sat there, and tried to find a way out. I made a ruckus. After a while, mom let me out. OMG there was this big tree in the living room. It goes all the way to the ceiling! It has lights on it, round things that look like big ping pong balls, birds on it, snowmen, glitter snowflakes. Its really pretty! Mom was in the kitchen and I wanted to go underneath it. So I started to walk under it. You won't believe what happened to me! Something from underneath that tree attacked me! I'm not kidding. It hissed and this white bunch of fog was there. I got super duper scared. I fell down and ran back towards the center of the living room! Mom was laughing. I didn't think it was funny. Mom called my name and tried to get me. I didn't want to see her. I was scared. So I ran in the bedroom and put myself in time out. 

There is no way I'm going near the bottom of that nasty tree. I don't know why mom put that tree in the house. I think she needs to bring it back to the store and get another one. Clearly the one she bought is defective!! 

Purrz & Licks,
Hunter


P.S. Hunters mom here, I bought a Ssscat Deterrent and put it under the tree. Worked great! He got sprayed once and that has been it all day! So far, so good. I wonder how many times I'll hear the spray going off tonight! :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its 5:26am on a Saturday. Mom is up. I am laying down under the bed. Mom was sleeping fine about an hour ago. She turned over, and I sat there for a second and threw up. Yep, on the bed. Mom heard me and felt bad. Then I threw up again, on the bed. Mom picked me up and put me on the floor, she didn't want me stepping in it. It wasn't food, and there was a oval thing that may or may not of been a bead at one point. It went through the sheets and moms down pillow top. Probably needs to be thrown away. So, mom stripped the bed, got rid of the pillow top and put a fleece blanket on the bed (so I wouldn't eat any remaining feathers on the bed) and then put another fleece blanket on top of that. Mom tried to go back to bed. Then I jumped on the bed, sniffed around a bit and layed next to her. I wanted to lick her wicked bad. As most of you know, I'm a major licker! She wouldn't let me. She kept on calling me Pukey, and Stinky. Mom said the only way she is letting me lick her is if I use some scope or Listerine. I don't use those things mom! I'm gonna lick you and you're going to love my pukey breath!! 

I don't think mom knows what to do about me eating stuff I'm not supposed to. She is going to google it and see what she can find. Its going to be a bad 3 weeks if I eat the Christmas tree.  Mom is actually contemplating the Ssscat deterrant!! I can tell that mom doesn't know what to do with me sometimes. She said she is almost at her wits end. Whatever that means. Poor mom, I love her, but sometimes she is just a worry wart!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hiya, Huntyâ€™s mom here. Hunter is fine. Being the Master of Disaster that he is. Slept for a while yesterday. Again with the 3 hour naps. But whatever. Yes, his nose was wet Da Tabbies.  ïŠ  Anyway,  this coming week is Christmas Decoration time. Iâ€™m nervous. Iâ€™ve never had a cat like Hunter, ever. All of my previous cats were very mellow. Never caused any trouble, they were more dogs like as in sniffing something and walking away. Hunter on the other hand, will investigate anything and has no fear. He will jump in a box with plastic foam, or cram his little butt in a box thatâ€™s 2 sizes too small for him. He will climb glass shelves, and scale the TV so he can climb onto the top of the entertainment center. There is no place in my house, he hasnâ€™t discovered, top cabinets included. I think if he could, he would walk on the ceiling fan. Thinking about the Holidays and the Christmas tree is making me a nervous wreck. Iâ€™m trying to plan it out.  Not having a Christmas tree is out of the question. I spend my Christmas day with my family and my 2 nieces. Cate is 2 and Isabelle is 9 months. So we are basically having the tree for my niece Caitlin. She is so excited. I bought all Shatter-proof ornaments, and I will be clamping them onto the selected branches. I have yet to find stuffed ornaments for the lower branches. The tree is pre-lit. Only 5 feet tall, as I wanted it shorter so I could get Hunter easier if he were to climb on it. Its fake, so there will be no needles falling to the floor he could ingest. Iâ€™m trying to make it as cat friendly as possible. There will be a metal gate around the tree, not thatâ€™s its going to stop Hunter, but its going to stop the dog. ïŠ  I plan on buying oranges/limes/lemons to cut up and place in the tree towards the center, and using a citrus spray on the tree skirt. I am also planning on anchoring the tree against a corner with fishing line, so incase Hunter decides to climb it, it wonâ€™t crash to the floor. 

Am I missing anything to make this as safe as possible? I know the safest route would be to not have one at all, but as I said its not a possibility.  Any ideas?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess over the Holiday weekend, I was kinda bad. I mean mom was home a lot so I didnâ€™t sleep as much as usual. No sleeping = bad behavior. Mom said there is no compromise. She wants me to behave, but she doesnâ€™t want me sleeping all the time either. Geez Mom, what do you want me to do? I canâ€™t just lay there like a bump on a log. I need to move around a bit. Well, I escaped twice. Yep, I couldnâ€™t help myself. It was so nice out and I had to get away from the babies. Caitlin chases after my floofy tail, and now the baby is crawling everywhere. Its scary! So, I ran outside. Auntie was in the right place at the right time and scooped me up and brought me inside again. Ugh, I can never really fully escape. Then  I waited a couple of days and made my attempt again. Mom was bringing the garbage out and left the slider door open a crack. Yea well that crack was just big enough for me to go through. Mom tried to get me but it was Teaka that started barking and she chased me back inside the house. Iâ€™ll attempt it again, maybe in a couple of weeks or so. 

Anyway, mom is testing me with the Christmas decorations. They havenâ€™t put the tree up, but there is this Christmas centerpiece on the kitchen table that is fun to play with and chewâ€¦ At first mom left it alone, and moved away to see what I would do with it. The minute it hit the table, there I saw, sniffing it and then I had the urge to bite it! Mom said â€œNo, Hunter!â€ do you think I listen to my mom? Um No! So I bit it again, and then mom remembered reading somewhere that cats donâ€™t like the smell or taste of citrus. Well mom had this pure citrus spray that she sprayed the heck out of it. I didnâ€™t touch it for a week! Then yesterday I chewed on these fake crystal things and mom found them crumpled up on the kitchen table, so she threw them away. Those were the best part!!! So I left it alone for a bit. Mom came home from work yesterday and saw me. I pulled one of those fake Christmas tree branches out from the centerpiece and was chowing down. Mom put it back in place and brought the centerpiece outside. She sprayed it again with that yucky citrus stuff and I smelled it. Oh boy it stunk!!! So, I left it alone. I think I need to learn to chew on things when mom is sleeping.

Oh thinking about sleeping. I got lost last night. Mom was sleeping and I was crying. I couldnâ€™t find her! We only live in a ranch style house so itâ€™s not like a huge mansion or anything like that, but I didnâ€™t know where she was. Finally, I heard mom say â€œHunter!!â€ She was in bed!! I ran to the room and jumped on the bed. I layed down on moms head!! I was so happy to find her, I gave her a bunch of Huntyâ€™s famous facials! The closer I am to mom at night, the better! Iâ€™m almost 2 but sometimes I get scared when I canâ€™t find my mom. Its okay, she loves me anyway!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom got home a little later than usual. So I decided to take a little snooze on one of the kitchen chairs. Mom got home and said "Wheres my lovey?" I meowed and was right under her nose! She pet me and put away the stuff she bought. She didn't buy me anything!!  Anyway, she said that we needed to play. So mom ate dinner really quick and then got out my feather flyer! I jumped and jumped and jumped. I caught it like I normally do and decided to carry it into the bedroom. After a while, mom took it away from me. She has to watch me when I play with that toy because I have a tendency to eat it. Then, mom wanted to watch tv, but she didn't want me to sleep next to her, or on my platform, so she let me play with the strap to her Wii game. Oh boy did I have fun with that! Thats what started it all folks. I am now, as I always have been... bad to the bone!! So I got bored of that, so I decided to go on the bureau and try to take the picture off of the wall. Mom kept on saying "Hunter, no!" "Hunter, stop that" "Hunter get down" "Hunter, stop" etc.  I think mom must of said my name like 20 times. Then I decided to go into her bookcase to see if I could find anything good to nibble on. I found this collectible cat figurine. Oh boy did it taste good. Mom said "Hunter, don't eat that!" I nibbled some more. "Hunter, stop!" Finally I just jumped down and I went into the kitchen to look outside. Mom can tell that I'm still tired, but not sleeping like I was yesterday. So I'm getting better!!! Oh and this is for Da Tabbies... Mom checked my nose again. Its still wet! YAY! I don't know why she keeps on touching my nose. Thats okay, she touches my nose, I lick her fingers. 

Mom feels better. I can tell. She can take a deep breath and just relax. Maybe its the purrs that are helping me, maybe its the lysine, or maybe just maybe I don't like when Winter comes. Oh mom was going to open the windows for me. Its too late now. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow. Sometimes moms just worry too much!!

Thanks for the purrs everyone, I'm getting better. One day at a time!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, Iâ€™m still pretty sleepy. Canâ€™t seem to get enough of it. I was sleeping from 3:30 yesterday until about 8:30pm. Thatâ€™s when I got down off of my cat tree. Mom tried everything to play with me. I think she is secretly a bit worried that Iâ€™m sick. She is still giving me my Lysine. Hopefully today Iâ€™ll be more myself. Yesterday she tried to play with me with the Ping Pong ball, didnâ€™t work. She tried lots of different toys. I just wanted to sleep. I slept with mom last night for most of the night. I woke up around 3:00am and got stuck in the other bedroom. Teaka kept on barking at me. Mom got up and opened the door and I ran out! She found my Ping Pong ball and I ran around a little bit in the kitchen with it. Not like I normally do, but mom was happy I was moving a bit. I do have to say, that Iâ€™ve been pretty excited for breakfast the past couple of days. I sit and wait patiently for mom to open my fancy feast for me. Then she mixes my lysine in and I chow down!  Iâ€™m just in this funk and canâ€™t get out. I think mom is going to try my feather flyer or my lazer light later on today, just to get me moving a little bit.  Although mom likes when Iâ€™m being good and laying down, I think she rather have me jump off the walls and be crazy. That way she knows Iâ€™m healthy and active. If I donâ€™t start acting more like myself, mom is going to bring me to the vetsâ€¦ GASP!  I better start breaking some things and being really bad. I donâ€™t wanna go there!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™m so used to Hunter being crazy that when hes sleeping often, I get worried. Hes been sleeping a good part of the weekend. He is still eating, drinking, pooping  and peeing, but its just not like Hunter to sleep so much. I did find out that he sleeps all day and when Iâ€™m home from work, thatâ€™s when hes bad. He slept with me all night, pushed me to the other side of the bed. God forbid I roll onto his side of the bed. I woke up, and he seeks out attention which is his new thing lately. Then he layed back down on the bed and started to fall asleep. That, is totally not like Hunter. I donâ€™t know if he is finally mellowing out a bit or if he doesnâ€™t feel well. So, I put some lysine in his food this morning, as I saw a crusty in his eye yesterday. Hopefully thatâ€™ll give him a boost. I know I complain about him being crazy pretty much constantly, but when he isnâ€™t, I worry. 

Its probably just the change in seasons. I did notice yesterday that his so called â€œruffâ€ is filling in a bit more. Iâ€™m complaining now that he is sleepy, and when spring comes, Iâ€™ll be complaining that he wonâ€™t stop running into the walls! 

On a good note, he somehow found a ping pong ball on Friday. He went nuts!! It was hysterical.  I never laughed so hard. 

Hes a good boy, when he wants to be.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh geez, I was so embarrassed this morning. Mom woke up and there I was, being all cute and cuddly. She got up and went into the shower. I had to go and do a poopie. After a while I heard the water shut off and I was outside the door whining! I heard mom say â€œOh Hunty, wait a minuteâ€. So I whined some more. Finally mom opened the door. I blocked the doorway and mom was ready to walk to the bedroom when she saw it. I got up, and started to walk into the bathroom. Mom saw a full sized poopie stuck to my floofy pants. She grabbed some toilet paper and pulled it off. Thank Goodness I didnâ€™t get all dirty. I then had to lay down and clean myself. I was embarrassed. 

Do you ever get poopies stuck to your floofy pants?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom told me the other day, that she doesnâ€™t always buy things that are for me. Seriously? Do you believe that? I mean câ€™mon, everything she buys, I have to inspect it. I have to make sure its okay to come into the house. When mom bought the Christmas tree, she also came home with 3 mats to put around the house. Well, two go in the house, and one goes outside. I know they are for me. Mom says no, but I think she is lying. So I found where she put them, and I have claimed the green one, mine. It is mine Iâ€™m sure of it. Mom bought it for me. I lay on the mat, on my back with my arm out and air out where my grapes used to be. I wiggle a little bit to make sure my nice white Hunty fur is embedded into the mat, claiming what is mine.  I donâ€™t understand why, mom sees me on my nice green Christmas mat every day when she comes home from work, but tells me, its not mine and that I should get off of it. Its mine, I know it!

Normally when I claim things, I keep them to myself. No one else is allowed on it. Sometimes mom takes things away from me. For instance, the baby seat. Okay, so mom got it for her nieces. Well Cate is too big for it, so I claimed it mine. Then Auntie had to go and have another baby. So mom said, she needed the baby seat and took it away from me again. Now Isabelle, the new baby, is outgrowing it. She never gave it back to me. She hid it from me!!!! So yesterday, Mom was in the spare room. You know the room where she had the Lucky Bamboo plant that I ate. Yep, that room. Well I was in there snooping around and guess what I foundâ€¦ the baby seat! Oh boy oh boy I was so happy to find it!! I crawled right up in there and layed down. I wasnâ€™t tired or anything, I just had to go in there and wiggle a bit to make sure my fur was all up in there. I claimed it mine, again! There better not be any more babies around here because I want this baby seat. Now, I just have to convince mom to get the seat out of the spare bedroom so I donâ€™t have to whine to get in there. Oh, maybe I can somehow get the baby seat and put it on the green mat! Theyâ€™re mine I tell you! All mine!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is a tragedy! An outrage! Mom said she isnâ€™t that interested in catster anymore. How can that be possible? Am I not the most important living creature in her life?? Mom even calls me her white furry son! Does she not know that I canâ€™t type and I need her to do it for me? Lazy I tell you! My mom is lazy. What about my friends? Their moms and dads type for them. Enough about my lazy mom, Iâ€™ll bite her later on for this!

I think she was feeling bad about not coming on catster as much as she used to, so she bought me a present. She bought me a chili pepper. Not just any chili pepper. This is a 100% organic catnip filled chili pepper. Well I must be desensitized to catnip because I donâ€™t go wild and crazy when I sniff or lick it. Although I do like to rub myself on it. Thatâ€™s about it. Mom was a little disappointed. I think she secretly wanted me to go crazy when I took a whiff of it! 

So Iâ€™ve been good for the past couple of days. Mom had a little talk with me yesterday about something called a Christmas tree. Iâ€™m pretty excited about it.  She said itâ€™s going to be pretty, and have lights and shiny things on it. But she also told me I need to behave and not climb all over it. So I waited all day for the Christmas tree. Mom came home and I looked at it. I donâ€™t know what mom was talking about. Just looked like a box to me. Wasnâ€™t pretty or shiny. She put the box in the corner and said maybe next weekend weâ€™ll put it up and take it day by day. I hate when mom gets my hopes up. I promised I would be nice to the Christmas tree when I see it, whenever that happens. 

Well, thatâ€™s all I got for the latest update. I hope mom keeps up with my diary.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hiya Everyfur! Its been a while since I've updated my diary. Well first of all, we lost electricity in the October Snow storm. No power for 5 days! It was cold. I snuggled with mom most nights and even cuddled with Teaka! Mom had 6 blankets on her bed. Brrrrr! So I've had my fair share of bad behavior recently. We had the stove on for some heat last week, and it was really pretty looking. I looked at it, and it was hot so I ran over it. and then there was another one. It was blue fire! I ran over that one too. Mom saw me and screamed "HUNTER!!!!!!!" She ran and got me and you could smell my singed fur! Mom checked my feet and they were all a-okay. Not burnt. But my fur got burnt a bit. You can't tell at all, and my skin didn't get burnt, but oh geez was that hot!! Then I tried to get the fish in the fishtank. Normally I sit on the back of the couch and just watch them. Not this time. I tried to jump onto the fish tank. Mom picked me up and said NO! I've been in time out a lot lately. Oh and one day last week, I got stuck underneath the bureau again. Mom had no idea how I get underneath there. Lately mom says I'm part ragdoll because I go limp when someone picks me up, part scavenger because I like to pick things out of the trash, part kangaroo because I jump like crazy, and part toddler because I'm always getting into trouble! 

Oh and I have this new thing I do. Hanna did it too!! When mom is watching tv, I jump on her, put my two front paws under her chin and lay down on mom. Right smack dab infront of her face! I purr and purr and purr. Mom pets me and I give her a facial. When she stops I put my paw on her face kind of like saying "Keep petting me mom". I try and suck up to her because I know I'm crazy and bad sometimes. What can I say, I'm a growing boy... :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got put in time out yesterday. Mom was kinda mad at me. It wasn't really my fault. Well, I guess it was, sort of. Alright, so I was running around the house. I had a bad case of the zoomies. I ran from moms bedroom to the livingroom, over the couch and onto the window sill. Then I ran from behind the couch, over the love seat into the kitchen. Now, this is where it gets ugly... We have a utility cart next to the slider. It holds a radio, and Teakas leash, her harness, things mom needs when she goes outside. Well I was running from the livingroom, over the love seat, past the kitchen table, and I sort of, tried to, bounce off the radio. So I kinda kangaroo kicked the radio and it crashed into the glass slider. I got scared and ran underneath the kitchen table. First thing mom did was check the slider door to make sure there wasn't any cracks in it. Nope, it was in one solid piece! Phew! Then memz checked out the radio. Still works! Its a miracle! THANK YOU OH GODS OF THE CATS!! Mom would of really put me up for adoption! I was just sitting there, underneath the kitchen table. Mom tried to get me to come out. Wasn't happening! I knew what was going to happen. I'm not stupid. Finally, mom dragged me out. Plopped me over her shoulder and into my cat tree cubby. She closed the door. :(  I was in time out for a long time! An hour!!! Thats a long time. I slept though. I learned my lesson. Don't go crashing radios into glass doors. You end up in time out!

Oh, want to see something cute? Check this little guy out! Mom thinks he/she is a Scottish Fold, soo cute!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She did it again. I think mom tried to snuggle with me last night. So I bit her. Well it was more like a grab and hold technique. She pried my jaws open and got her arm out. Then she turned over. This morning, moms alarm kept on going off. She wasnâ€™t waking up. I decided that it was up to me to wake mom up. So I walked on her (this reminded mom of Hanna a lot!) I snuggled up under her chin and kneaded on her shirt. Then I decided to eat her hair. Mom kept on saying â€œHunter, go awayâ€.  I know what happens when I leave, mom goes back to bed. I couldnâ€™t let that happen! So I got off the bed, sat in the hall, whined and yeowled. I did it over and over again until mom said â€œHunter, be quiet!â€  Finally, I saw mom sit up in bed. I jumped on the bed, and tried to nuzzle up under her chin again. She was petting me and telling me I was a good boy. At last, mom got out of bed and got ready for work. Normally while mom gets ready, I go by the slider door and look outside. Then mom was in the bedroom getting her shoes on, she bent down to pick up one shoe and I jumped on moms back! I do this a lot. Mom smiled and say â€œHunter, youâ€™re very cute, but I have to go to workâ€ Yea, well I donâ€™t like when mom leaves, so I decided to lay down on moms back, and nibble on her hair a bit. I kinda rolled off by accident and scratched moms knee. It was bleeding!! She wasnâ€™t mad. Oh, one thing I am not happy about, mom didnâ€™t go and buy me any Fancy Feast.  I had to have my dinner food, for breakfast. I always have fancy feast for breakfast. Ugh. Sometimes I just donâ€™t understand.  Iâ€™m gonna go and see what kind of trouble I can get into!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think everyone needs to take a nice deep breath. Inhaleâ€¦ exhaleâ€¦ Ahhh, feel better huh? That is what mom is doing lately. Deep breaths.  I got a couple more jibberish comments yesterday but I did not approve them.  The only problem with approving comments is that you have to look at the picture, or diary entry and then find the comment and approve it.  Am I doing it wrong? That is what mom is doing, and finds it a little much, but she isnâ€™t really complaining.  Iâ€™m glad the diaries are working again. Oh and I would like to thank anonymous for my ghost! Iâ€™m not afraid of no ghost! I am Hunter, hear me roarâ€¦ or meow.  I saved mom from the creepy goblin that lived behind the TV. I havenâ€™t seen him in a little while. Maybe he died. I hope not because thatâ€™ll start to smell and mom hates yucky smells. So ghosts donâ€™t scare me one bit!  Anyway, Iâ€™m going to make this diary entry a short one. Mom is tired and is thankful for the weekend coming up.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so I said I wouldnâ€™t write a diary entry until the diaries were back up and running. Yea, well I think this is really important so here I am. I got some strange comments on a couple of my pictures. One, two nights ago, and again this morning. Theyâ€™re not hyperlinks, but really strange comments. I didnâ€™t delete them; the site actually wouldnâ€™t let me. You can check them out if you want to.  One is on my profile picture, and the other is on my picture where Iâ€™m carrying my toy. Both are on my profile page. I changed my preferences this morning along with my password just to be on the safe side. I think someone has hacked the site, which is making me a bit more nervous. Iâ€™m a plus member, and if someone hacked the site, Iâ€™m sure they can hack through the several hundreds of credit cards members have used to gain â€œplusâ€ status. Part of me wants to not be a plus member for that one reason. Makes me very, very nervous. I do check my bank statements daily so Iâ€™ll definitely be on the lookout. The stupid little comments donâ€™t really bother me.  I think catster should have one of those green â€˜verifiedâ€™ check marks that I see on certain websites, stating its secure. Although its probably just a logo, Iâ€™d feel a bit better about it. 

Oh and Hunty has been a very good boy lately. I gave him new food last night. He loves it. Natures Variety Beef. Its almost as good as his lamb! Well I have to go, work is calling my name. Be safe everyone!

Purrz & Licks,
Kelly and Hunty

edit: I took all but 1 of Hunty's photos away. I had several pictures with blank comments under them. It was getting a bit ridiculous and I couldn't delete them. I left Hunters profile photo up and thats it. Once things get secure, I may put them back up.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a traumatic experience last night.  Let me tell you how it all started.  It was around 6:45 last night and I was in the spare bedroom. Iâ€™m not allowed in there. Mom was on the big computer in there working. I was minding my own business, and walking around. Mom was keeping an eye on me.  Well, in the kitchen mom had cookies in the oven. She left the room for not even 5 minutes and came back to the bedroom and saw me chomping down on the Lucky Bamboo. She said â€œHunter, NO!â€ and took it away from me. She looked at the plant and saw bite marks, but couldnâ€™t remember how many leaves were on it. She immediately stopped working, posted in the health section of catster and waited. It seemed as if no one was online!  Mom finished her work and went on her computer to check the internet about the Lucky Bamboo. Every website said it was toxic! Now, mom started to freak out. So she emailed Finney and Laceyâ€™s mom to ask for advice. Meanwhile mom called the ER vet and they said that it wasnâ€™t toxic. Now mom was confused. So after some emailing, researching online, mom decided it was best to bring me to the ER vet at around 8:00 last night. So, she took my carrier (which is always out incase of emergencies) and brought it to the livingroom. Mom grabbed me and put me in, Oh I was NOT happy, so I jumped out. Mom caught me and put me back in, again I jumped out! This time, mom put the carrier, open side up so she would plop me in. Hmmm nope. I jumped out again. This time, Pepz held me and plopped me in while mom zipped up the carrier. Finally I was in, trapped.  

Mom put me in the car and I was whining. I meow so much louder in the car than I do at home. I was scared. We drove for a little bit and then mom stopped the car. It was a big white building. Mom carried me in and said to the lady â€œI called earlier about my cat eating some Bambooâ€ The lady said â€œYea?â€ Mom told her â€œI would like him to be seen.â€ Geez, why else would mom go there, for her health? Stupid lady!  So Mom put me on the floor and I just sat there like a good boy. Another lady saw me and said â€œWell, arenâ€™t you cute! You must be a trouble maker huh?â€ Mom said â€œThat isnâ€™t even the word for it.â€  Then some other lady came out and said â€œHunter?â€ Mom picked me up and we went into a room.  The lady wasted no time, and she unzipped my carrier, picked me up and checked my vitals. All normal. I weigh 9.5 pounds. The lady felt my belly and I crawled towards mom and tried to hide my head in her sweatshirt. Mom and the lady talked and then the lady left the room. Mom picked me up and I clung for life! Then I started sniffing around and mom put me back on the scale. I felt safe there. This is me <a id="img4019314594"  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://files.dogster.com/pix/cats/99/1129599/lg_1129599_1318854678.jpg" onmouseover="var el = $j('#img4019314594');var c=String.fromCharCode;var q=c(34);var l=c(60);var r=c(62);var a=c(39);var p=c(43); el[0].onmouseover = null; var n=$j(document.createElement('div')); n.insertBefore(el); n.html(''.concat(l, 'img src=', a, 'http://files.dogster.com/pix/cats/99/112', '9599/lg_1129599_1318854678.jpg', a, ' /', r, l, 'BR /', r));">on the scale</a>.  The lady came back and said we can try and make him vomit. Mom said, Yes.  They did a whole bunch of things to me and I didnâ€™t get sick. Iâ€™m no wuss!  Finally the lady said â€œThe only thing you can do is wait. Watch out for him vomiting or if he has diarrhea. If he develops both, bring him back soon. He can become dehydrated.â€ So mom opened up my carrier and I walked in. I was ready to go!

We got home, and I walked right up to my platform and layed down. I was tired. I slept for about 15 minutes or so and then I heard it. A Fly! I got all excited, chased it down and ate him. Mmmm protein!  Mom was walking towards the kitchen and saw that I was on the counter. I found a straw!! She fed me my dinner and I ate some but not all of it. Mom was a little upset that the vet lady didnâ€™t tell her anything she didnâ€™t already know. So mom didnâ€™t get much sleep last night. I slept with her most of the night and she kept on waking up and petting me. So then, I felt the urge to give her facials. Mom would pet me, sheâ€™d get a facial. This went on pretty much all night. Up until her alarm went off. She pet me and I was real tired, so I chomped down on her hand. Just to tell her  â€˜Leave me alone Mom!â€™ And she did.  ïŠ  Mom checked the house, no diarrhea, or vomit. So for 12 hours now, Iâ€™ve been a-okay. Iâ€™m not really myself though kinda tired. I did go on top of the birds cage though. So I still have a little bit of bad tendencies. Mom gave me my food and saw me eat this morning, so that made her feel a little bit better. She went to work, so she said sheâ€™ll see how I am when she gets home. She has Memz and Pepz watching me today to make sure Iâ€™m alright. 

Thanks everyone who is purraying for me. Its working. The Power of the Paw really really works! I am so glad I have such great furiends! Mom just has to watch me up until tonight and then I should be all set.  Iâ€™ll update you guys tomorrow!

Motto of the day:  Donâ€™t eat Lucky Bamboo, because it isnâ€™t very lucky. It makes you go to the ER Vet.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am one of todays Diary picks!!  Mom was pretty excited when she got the email this morning. I think its because Iâ€™ve been good the past couple of days. So yesterday I kept watch over the picture where the Goblin came out. He stayed in the wall all day, up until last night that is. I was being really good and laying on the couch next to mom and all of a sudden I looked towards the wall and my eyes and really big and black. Even mom got a little worried and looked at the wall. She called me crazy and told me to go back to sleep.  The minute mom looked way, he escaped!!!  I ran towards the TV.  Do you know where he went? In the wall, behind the TV. So I  stared at the TV for a bit to make sure he stays in there. Keeping this house protected is a lot of work!!

I have a couple of new friends!!!  This little guy has the best name, and he seems to be sneaky like I am. He is an orange tabby namedâ€¦<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/1208297">Hunter Devious</a>!  Isnâ€™t he adorable? I think he is going to be a big hit on Catster.  Now, when I woke up this morning, mom told me that a couple of girl kitties would like to be my friend. Iâ€™m all for it.  The more the merrier I say. This one lady sings. No joke. She sings with her mom and even knows how to sing Jazz and the Blues!  Her name is <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/915655">Samsara</a>.  Then I checked out her sisfurâ€™s page. Come to find out, she goes in the shower, and sings too!!! She is a very beautiful Balinese. Check her out, her name is <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/915750">Colette Sidonie-Samantha</a>.  They are one musical family!!  So I was looking at Samsaraâ€™s page and there was a video of Simonâ€™s Cat. Mom watched it and started laughing. She said â€œHunter, that is so you!â€  Want to see it?  Take a lookâ€¦ <a id="img2213989808"  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.youtube.com/watch?v=EKvNqe8cKU4" onmouseover="var el = $j('#img2213989808');var c=String.fromCharCode;var q=c(34);var l=c(60);var r=c(62);var a=c(39);var p=c(43); el[0].onmouseover = null; var n=$j(document.createElement('div')); n.insertBefore(el); n.html(''.concat(l, 'object type=', a, 'application/x-shockwave-flash', a, ' width=', a, '425', a, ' height=', a, '344', a, ' data=', a, 'http://www.youtube.com/v/EKvNqe8cKU4&hl=', 'en', a, r, l, 'param name=', a, 'movie', a, ' value=', a, 'http://www.youtube.com/v/EKvNqe8cKU4&hl=', 'en', a, ' /', r, l, '/object', r, l, 'BR /', r));">The Box</a>.  

I want to thank the Diary Gal for picking me to be a Daily Diary Pick!  I guess being a good boy gets you good things in life.  I have to go stare at the wall and make sure the Goblin doesnâ€™t come out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I dictated a nice long diary entry for mom, and catster screwed it up!  So mom said she is not going to type it again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ No joke ladies and gentlefurs, I was a good boy yesterday and last night!!  I was, honest!  Mom played & I played with my laser light, which pooped me out. Well not literally, but you get the idea. I actually layed down on the floor like a dog because it was nice and cool. Mom switched up my toys and I was playing with them last night. She is going to try a bigger yeoww! catnip cigar or banana and see if I like it or not. Anyway, I didn't go in any cabinets last night. Mom woke up and there I was, sleeping next to her. I gave mom a ton of Hunty's spectacular facials yesterday and this morning. Sometimes mom has to move because she says my tongue hurts. I ate all of my dinner last night, it was Lamb so of course I ate it. Plus mom has been giving me kibble, and I ate all of that too. Mom only gives me 1/2 cup of kibble and that lasts 2 days. I only get kibble at night. I didn't have the zoomies yesterday. Oh, I did try to leave with mom this morning when she was going to work. Mom unlocked the door and I came running. Mom had to pick me up, give me a kiss and said "No Hunty, you stay here. I'll see you later big boy" Then she left me.  I whined a little bit. I hate when mom leaves. Thats okay, I'm gonna attack Teaka later on. 

Hope everyone has a good day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Huntys mom here. I am hijacking his diary so I can vent out even more frustrations. He is driving me insane!  I must be a tad bit insane. I always thought that cats are calm creatures, that just wander about the house, eat, sleep and be merry. Hanna was like that. Never, ever had the zoomies. Didn't whine. She did follow me like a dog though. If I were watching tv, she would follow me, jump in my lap and sleep. Hunter should of been named "Master of disaster!" Playing with him does not help. It only slows him down for about 20 minutes or so. He does not stop, ever!! All weekend I heard "Slam! Slam!" the little brat was trying to get into the cabinets. Now, he has become desperate and does it while I'm awake! So I go and check on the little bugger, and he looks at me and meows. Kind of like saying "I didn't do it, it was Teaka!" Then he walks away. He is the most smug cat I have ever seen. He walks like "This is my house and I will do as I please" He reminds me of a 2 year old. Sneaking up towards the dog, scaring the crap out of her and then when she barks back, he gets all excited. He then smackety paws the dog, runs away, and then comes back out walking hunched over sideways, and pounces on her! Then Teaka barks and backs Hunter into a corner, Hunter jumps over the dog, over the couch, through the kitchen and into the hall. This is a daily occurance at my house. And thats just playing with the dog. Hunter does this all by himself sometimes! I think he is part leopard, or maybe cheetah. Yes Hunter is part Cheetah! 

So Friday I went and bought the Master of Disaster some kibble. I figure if he had his own, he wouldn't want the dogs food. Stupid me. That didn't stop him. Normally kibble fills him up and hes sluggish, will sleep all afternoon. Again, I was wrong. Kibble, no kibble, playing, no playing, nothing changes Hunters craziness. He needs a sedative. Yesterday I was thinking, Maybe he needs a friend. Like another cat. Then I'm thinking 'Oh yes Kel, you really must be insane." Imagine 2 of them?? OMG I could not handle that. Then I'd have to rename them to Bonnie and Clyde. I know Hunter isn't the only crazed cat around here, but I wasn't expecting this. I was expecting a nice elegant white longer haired cat lounging around my house. Instead, I got the Master of Disaster!!!  I should of picked up on his personality at the shelter. He was the only kitten rough housing with his siblings. Gnawing on their ears, pouncing on them. I wanted a healthy vigorous kitten.  Yea well, I got a Cheetah!  

I do love Hunter, and I don't think I'd ever rehome him, but there have been times where I just can't handle him. There is no place in my house where I can go to get away from the animals. Either Hunter is running and jumping around like a lunatic, Teaka is barking at Chippy the chipmunk, the bird is squaking cuz Hunter is on his cage. Its like enough already! I think I need time away from them. Maybe I'll appreciate them more.  Experts say people live longer who have pets. They didn't mention that yea you might live longer, but you also might have a mental breakdown from all the stress they bring you!  

I say Hunter is crazy, and I have thought about putting him up for adoption but in all seriousness, I'd never do it. Hunter is my boy, hes crazy, but he is my boy nonetheless, and I do love him.

Hunters exhausted mom,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My bad behavior continues! Mom still hasn't had a chance to buy baby locks, but she got a good idea from my friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/995239">Monida</a> (PS. Its her birthday today!). Her mom buys velcro and put that on the cabinets. Mom thinks that'll be cheaper than buying baby locks. Plus, it comes off clean!  And, mom has velcro at home, so she wont need to buy it! She doesn't know why she didn't think of that before.  So, I opened the cabinet last night, moms idea of elastic bands as locks aren't working so well.  I got another sample bag of kibble (mom got lots of sample bags when Teaka didnt like her food) and I opened it.  Mom doesn't know if I ate any or not. Hmmm.... I'm not telling!  Mom needs to buy me my kibble ASAP!! I want kibble darn it!!  I had the major zoomies last night. Oh boy. Teaka scared me and I got all poofy and ran sideways. Then I got her back and pounced on her! She still smells funny from all the medicine so I haven't groomed her in a long long time.  

Teaka wasn't feeling too good last night. She is constipated. Mom gave her some Benefiber. Just maybe 1 teaspoon if that. Mom then ran around in the backyard with her hoping that the exercise would get things moving along. If no poop today, then its canned pumpkin to the rescue!  Poor Teaka. I don't think any other mom would do all the stuff mom does for us. She played with me last night, (I caught my feather flyer twice), she played with Teaka. She even took care of the fish!  Mom didn't get to sit down until 10:00 last night.  

Gotta go, all this talk about poop makes me have to go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been a very good boy for 2 whole days now! Its a miracle! I haven't gone into cabinets, haven't had any of Teakas food. I really wish mom would buy me some kibble, but other than that, I'm mellowing out. I did have the zoomies last night though. Its been a daily occurance lately. And yes, I did run into the window. Thats because I growl at the outside kitty. And when I see that cat, I get all poofy and growl.  I've been sleeping with mom on the bed, and giving her nice Hunty facials. 

Now its time for a Teaka update!!

Teaka is doing well! Hardly itchy, her fur seems to be growing faster, and isn't looking so sparse. She is on an antihistamine twice a day, plus an antibiotic, and her Atopica came in the mail yesterday. Oh and she is on ear drops too. Poor Teaky.... Mom and her play everyday for about 1/2 an hour to help her lose some weight. Mom doesn't know if its working or not, but it sure does make mom tired! Teaka is getting a bath this weekend. (someone remind me to hide so mom doesn't wash me!) She has a follow up appointment next friday. Things are going good for Teaky, mom hopes they stay this way. She doesn't know if its the antihistamine working, or if its the antibiotic helping. She is hardly itchy at all now! Plus, she wants to play more. She likes to chase me sometimes. 

Now if only mom would give me that much attention. But then again, I get all the lovies in the morning and Teaka gets them at night. So that makes us even right??  

Gotta go, leaves are blowing by the window!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says she is going to kill me. I must have done something pretty bad. I only chewed through Teakas food again. Now, mom doesnâ€™t know how I open the cabinet. Mom had it locked with these wicked strong elastics. She opened the cabinet this morning and saw the bag. Then I heard â€œHUNTER!!!!â€ I ran. I hid underneath the bed. So mom put the food in a zip lock bag, again, and put the food up high in another cabinet. She is very disappointed in me, and said that she is getting baby locks for all the lower cabinets. Plus mom is buying a new Tupperware container and putting the food in that, incase mom forgets to lock the cabinet. Then, she is going to buy me some kibble.  Maybe I want something to crunch on at night? Maybe Iâ€™m hungry? Mom always feeds me before bedtime, so I wonâ€™t be destructive. But umâ€¦ itâ€™s obviously not working. I only do it at night. I knew I did something wrong, because I slept most of the night with mom and I gave her facials. Mom is super duper wicked mad at me!!! :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Iâ€™ve been really bad lately. I think mom needs to play with me more. Maybe thatâ€™ll help a bit. On Thursday, I was on the counter. Iâ€™m not supposed to be, but it was night time and everyone was sleeping. I found a bag on the counter full of these white round things. (Mom calls them beans) They looked good to eat, so I nibbled on the bag until it opened up, and then a whole bunch of these white things came out. I tried to eat one, but it didnâ€™t taste very good.  So I jumped off the counter. When mom woke up and saw the counter, I got in trouble. We ended up having the â€œdestruction  discussionâ€ (say that 5 times fast). This is when she flips me over, and makes me look at her and she talks, and says what she doesnâ€™t want me to do anymore. Then at the end she says Discussion closed!  

I was pretty good all weekend, besides having the major zoomies. I ran into the glass window again last night.  Then I went to sleep with mom. I kept on giving her facials all night long. So mom would pet me, then sheâ€™d turn over. Finally I laid down, and stretched out. Again, I pushed mom to the wall. She doesnâ€™t like that so much. Hey, what can I say, Iâ€™m a big boy! 

Lately, my new favorite place is the bathtub!! Yesterday I kept on jumping in there and rolling around. Its nice and cool in there.  I gotta go and see what other kind of mischief I can get into!

Why won't she let me outside to have some fun?!?! She is mad at me. But not as mad as Teakas old vet. Oh boy she is mad at them!! I'll let her tell you what happened at Teakas appointment today. Mom is hijacking my diary with Teaka updates... geez!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

So I brought Teaka to a different vet for a 2nd opinion. All I can say is WOW! I am so impressed. Teaka has a skin infection, allergies, and an ear infection. No fleas! The vet wants her to stay on the raw food (which I'm surpised at) and said to give her beans and carrots for snacks. She is on an antihistamine, antibiotics, ear drops and will be on Atopica. I can't believe the old vet didn't recommend an antihistamine, or even mention atopica. They didn't see her skin infection???? My dog has been suffering for MONTHS, and she could of been on the road to recovery right now. I feel so bad. Like I'm a bad pet parent. I am so glad I got a 2nd opinion. This is the 2nd time the old vet has done this to me. First time with Hanna and she ended up having to be put down. They told me "She is fine". Now, when I brought Teaka there last, they said "She has a flea allergy" Errr WRONG!!! How can they stay in business?? I don't understand. I am so angry. I feel horrible. Like I should of brought Teaka to the new vet weeks ago! Why didn't I?  I trusted the old vet. The new vet didnt want Teaka on any more steroids. She said the only steroids I want her on is the medicated rinse. She also told me that the reason why Teaka has thin hair, is because of all of the steroids she was on. The new vet is treating Teaka for allergies without the expensive allergy test. She said it can't hurt, and it'll save me money. Plus she didn't give me the Atopica medication, she told me to go online and I got it 50% off!!!!  I am really thankful for this new vet and I hope she helps Teaka.

Always, get a 2nd opinion.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh geez, I got in trouble. I opened up the cabinet again and took out Teakaâ€™s food. Its good stuff I tell you!  Mom buys us the good stuff. But her food, its LAMB, I mean câ€™mon how can she expect me to not want to eat it?!?! Lamb is my version of tuna! Yummy!!! So I ripped open the zip lock bag, and nibbled away at the raw food. I hardly left any food for Teaka! Mom had to go out last night to get more food. She brought Teaka with her, so the ladies could see her back and how she is losing her hair. Anyway, after mom came home, she was watching TV for a little while and heard the cabinets slamming against the wall. I was at it again!! Mom got up and walked into the kitchen, and there I was, sitting in front of the cabinets figuring out how to get in. Mom has the cabinets kind of locked with a very large and thick elastic band.  I can still open it with my paw, but I canâ€™t get inside! What a tease.  So then I heard mom on the phone and mentioning Teaka and her itchiness. Something about being there for 4:30 today. Iâ€™m nervous. Mom wouldnâ€™t bring me would she? I mean I think she was making a vet appointment for Teaka. But they wouldnâ€™t need to check me over right? Iâ€™m in perfect health, well maybe a little crazy, but Iâ€™m healthy! Plus, I go to the kitty vet, where they think Iâ€™m a handsome lover boy.  Iâ€™m not itchy. Well except for that stupid collar mom put on me about a month ago, itâ€™s still on too!! I try to scratch it off but it doesnâ€™t come off! Stupid collar.  Anyway, I also heard mom say something about a 2nd opinion.  I guess after what happened with Hanna, mom doesnâ€™t trust vets. Plus Teaka goes to the same vet Hanna went to, and they didnâ€™t help Hanna at all!!! My mom is starting to get bold as she gets older. She doesnâ€™t take no for an answer, and will always fight for me and Teaka!  

Iâ€™m gonna go and see what trouble I can get into.  Lately, Iâ€™ve been bad!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Fleas Fleas Fleas and more fleas!!!  Mom is having the hardest time getting catster to work! It could be moms work computer which she says is a piece of poop. Anyway, I had a great time last night. Zoomies to the max!!! I jumped over the dog, over Memz, over the couch, I landed on mom. Then mom saw my big black eyes and I zoomied some more! After all those zoomies I was tired, so I ran up my cat tree and slept. Oh, mom noticed yesterday that the fishies have eggs!!! YAY more fishies for me!!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

Teaka update: Well she has been off her pill for about a month and a half now. Still itching it is slightly better though.  I have religiously been putting frontline on her every 3 weeks. She has no fleas. I bought a medicated rinse for her and used that 3 weeks ago, which seemed to help.  However, she has these black patches of what look like dirt on her skin. I brush them out, but she is losing her hair on her back. It looks sparse.  Its not flea dirt, which I know looks very grainy like. Its almost like black scabs. Odd. So I talked to a groomer and she mentioned it could be bacterial or fungal. I bought anti bacterial and fungal shampoo and washed her Sunday night. I scrubbed and scrubbed, but I forgot to put the medicated rinse on her. So she has been itching a little more that usual. I know its bad to keep on washing her so Iâ€™m trying to put it off.  I did manage to get rid of about 90% of the black stuff by scrubbing.  Oh I also changed her food to a freeze dried raw, Lamb.  I donâ€™t know if she is allergic to chicken or beef, so I opted for the lamb. She absolutely LOVES it!!!  I have noticed her face is more bright looking, she has more energy (is playing more often), her poop is hard then pretty much disintegrates into a chalky consistency. She is getting less goop from her eyes. Her coat color is changing. I donâ€™t know if itâ€™s the change in season but her silver/steel blue is turning more to like a silver/black.  Iâ€™m going to keep up with this food as it is obviously helping her to an extent.  Its not helping the itching though. Its only been 2 weeks I think, so weâ€™ll see what happens with that.  Right now, Iâ€™ve pretty much exhausted my funds for her. So I canâ€™t take her to the vet right now, and its not an emergency. I really donâ€™t want her on those pills/shots again.  What I really think, is that its environmental/ maybe some sort of fungal, bacterial thing going on.  I know last winter she had no problems whatsoever!! This all started after she got a haircut from my sister. So my plan is to wait it out basically. Wash her every 2-3 weeks, grow out her hair, keep up with the food/frontline, and hopefully things work out.  

Cats are so much easier. Hunter has no problems whatsoever. Only scratches his collar. Fur is beautiful, no skin problems, no fleas. Ahhh pets, they drive me crazy but I love them!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was hanging out on the window sill in the livingroom yesterday. The couch is infront of the window and mom was sitting there watching tv. I was growling. Then I had major zoomies. Then I'd jump back onto the window sill and growl some more. Mom got up and looked at me, and saw the outside black and white kitty on the front porch. I looked at mom and meowed. She said "Oh I know Hunty, but you can't go outside and see the kitty, he might be sick" I didn't want to see the kitty, I wanted to show him who is boss!!! I wasn't growling for my health ya know. Geez... So I did this routine of growling, zoomies, jumping and meowing for about half an hour or so. Then I got tired. It was obvious mom wasn't letting me outside so I could smack the outside kitty around a bit. So I decided to run up my cat tree to the tallest tower and take a nap. Problem with that is, my body doesn't fit. My legs hang off the sides. Its okay though, I smush my body on it and nap away!

I slept with mom last night. I was sideways though, so I kicked mom to the other end of the bed. She woke up and had no room for herself! It was great, I was sleeping on my back and airing out my armpits! Then, I kept on giving her facials.  Sometimes she calls me a dog in a cats body. I'm supposed to be insulted by that right??  Anyway, I gotta go. Mom said her new fish are gonna have babies!!  YAY!! More fish for me to try and attack.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom was switching from her summer clothes to her winter clothes. Normally I'm not allowed in the closet. She doesn't want her clothes full of my fur. I don't see why not though. Its nice white fur, matches everything. Anyway, mom was busy and I was in the closet. She didn't say anything. Oh, she found the blue pet carrier that I used to fit in. She put it down, and um, only my head and 2 legs fit in it! I grew a whole bunch!!! Anyway, I hung out in the closet pretty much all evening. I had a good time. I hope I can go in there again. 

This morning, mom woke up and there I was, right next to her face ready to give her a facial.  I was a good boy this morning. Nothing new to report. Mom is getting her camera charged and said that we are going to have a photo session soon. Mom wants to enter me in the Worlds Coolest Cat Contest, which is coming up soon! Gotta get my pictures ready...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, this past Thursday night I was hungry. I didn't want my food. I wanted Teakas food. She is getting new raw food that smells so yummy. She gets to eat lamb everyday! Lamb is my favorite. Well, I opened the cabinet and found the bag. I ripped it open and chowed down! Its freeze dried raw, so it was kinda hard to eat. I was still hungry and I saw the sample bag of dog kibble. So I took that, ripped open the bag and just left it there. Smelled like duck, I don't like duck.  I was doing really well up until last night. For some reason, mom bought me venison. Have you ever tried venison? Yuck! I was hungry. Mom bought Teaka a whole new bag of food and put it in the cabinet. Last night I was really hungry and didn't want my venison, so I opened the cabinet. A few things fell out and there it was, a big red bag of lamb!!! I chewed it open, and gnawed on a few patties. Then I saw another sample bag of kibble. It was... lamb kibble!! I ripped that open and chowed down!  I can't get enough of lamb. Yummy!!!  

Mom woke up to find the cabinet open, chew marks on everything. She wasn't even mad at me. She knew it was her fault. She told me she is getting a baby lock for those cabinets. :(  Oh well.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom was getting ready for work, and fed the fish.  I was on the back on the couch facing the fishtank, hoping to jump on mom so I could see inside!  Mom is too fast though and turned around. I climbed on her shoulder and we walked into the kitchen to get my food.  Mom fed me and gave me some treats, then she left for work.  A little while after mom left I heard a noise. So I went to investigate. I walked in a puddle of water!! Oh Geez my white paws were all wet. I didn't know what to do, I looked up, and the fishtank water was coming out like a river!!! I made a ruckus and finally Memz was here. (For those of you who don't know, my Memz is my mom's mom. So my grandma. But Moms family is french so instead of saying Memere and Pepere, I say Memz and Pepz. Its easier. :) Anyway, back to my catastrophe.) She yelled for Pepz and they unplugged everything, got a whole bunch of towels, and called mom on the phone. The next thing I knew, mom was home! YAY!!! Now, the fish were in a bucket. Pepz was emptying the tank, and Memz was getting more towels. Mom took over, because Memz and Pepz are old. Now was my chance. I walked into the kitchen towards the bucket. I looked back to see if anyone was watching, nope I was safe! Phew! So I put my head in the bucket and then one paw... Splash! Splash! "Hunter!!! No, you're not going fishing. Get away from the bucket" Ugh, I was caught. Thats okay. I waited for a few minutes. Then I slowly creeped towards the other end of the bucket where no one could see me.... Splash! Splash! "HUNTER! I swear you're worse than a 2 year old. You are not going fishing today Hunty. Sorry big boy, not happening." Thats when she scooped me up, and brought me into time out. I haven't been in time out in a long long time!! Well, when I got out of time out, the big fishtank was gone. Mom got the smaller fishtank and was putting the fish in it.  I missed all the fun! I just wanted to go fishing. Mom is so disappointed though.  She really, really enjoyed the big fishtank, and I did too!  Now, mom has what she calls a dinky fishtank. She hopes that her fish don't die because its so small. Mom even got rid of 4 of her fish.  She was so sad. I had to make it up to her somehow. So this morning I was being super lovey dovey. Oh and on a good note, I didn't have feline acne. It was just a scratch, its all gone. :) So yes, I was a good boy this morning, I asked to be picked up. Ate all of my dinner last night, gave mom a facial, we played. Oh thinking about playing. I'm starting to like catnip. I never really liked it before. But I found a Yeeooww! Catnip sardine mom got me once, oh boy its yummy! I've been carrying it around the house. Mom has found it in the bathroom, in the livingroom, in moms bedroom, on the bed, in my cat tree hammock and in my cubby!  

So I just want to point it out there, I didn't crack the fishtank, it happened by itself. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been a very good boy lately. I even let mom brush me a little while ago. She used the zoom groom and that thing got out a whole bunch of my fur. Now I'm all shiny and smooth.  I've been trying for a whole day now for mom to play with me. I was whining, and I went to moms room and sat in front of the drawer she keeps my feather flyer. She isn't getting the hint. I don't know how else to get her attention. I know how to wake her up, but I don't know how to get her to play with me. Hmmmm, I think this will be a work in progress. (OMG Hunter, you stink!!!) Yep, I just did a poopie in my box. I covered it up. Geez...  Now mom has to clean my box again. There is nothing like a fresh clean box to do a stinky poopie in.

Anyway, did you guys see my fish on my page?? You can feed them too. Just click on the water and you'll see the fish go after the food. Pretty cool huh? I thought so. Thats why I told mom to put it on my page. Reminds me of the fishtank at home. 

I figure I'd update my diary now because the next couple of weeks its going to be busy at moms work. Plus, this friday mom has to go to Boston to see her eye doctor again. She hates driving down there, it gives her anxiety whatever that is.  I hope everyone had a good weekend. Oh and we can't forget the men and women who lost their lives 10 years ago today.  

Never forget 9/11/01  God Bless America!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm becoming malnourished!!! Kitty Abuse, Kitty Abuse!! (HUNTER, YOU BETTER TELL THE TRUTH RIGHT NOW!!! -Mom) Well, i'm partly malnourished. Happy Mom!?!? Geez!!! She forgot to buy me food. (Hunter, tell the truth!) Okay, so she went to go buy me food but the store was closed for some holiday called Labor Day. I had kibble for dinner last night, and kibble again for breakfast. Donâ€™t get me wrong, I like my kibble, but I really rather have fancy feast and my lamb. I was a really good boy last night. I slept with mom. I had my head on the pillow, I was laying on my back and was airing out my armpits and my empty â€˜fruit cupsâ€™. Mom caught me snoring too.  I looked just like a human does when they sleep. I better get some fancy feast today. I told her I wanted some.

Mom got some yucky news today at work. Her office is moving to the other end of town. That means she is going to have to leave even earlier. Mom is kinda worried that its going to ruin my schedule. Mom said she is going to have to leave 15 minutes earlier than normal. Do you think Iâ€™ll get all screwed up??  Plus she is going to get home later on too.  Sheâ€™ll have to leave at 5:45am and she wonâ€™t get home until 3:30-3:45pm.  She has read that when a cat gets off schedule, some can spray. Mom doesnâ€™t want that at all. Its only 15 minutes though. Hopefully Iâ€™ll be all set. Iâ€™m okay when mom is gone for the weekend, so I should be fineâ€¦ I hope.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wrote a very long diary entry for Hunty this morning. Catster always logs me off so I can't post it. This has happened 3 times now. I'm not going to retype it. I'm at work. This is extremely irritating. I have to actually copy and paste my entry, log back in, and paste it to post an entry. C'mon Catster, get it together. 

Diary entry in a nutshell: Hunter is a grumpy boy today. Teaka is doing really well. I found a scab on Hunters chin, could be acne that opened up, or a scratch. It doesn't bother him so I'm keeping an eye on it. Will remove his 1 plastic bowl he has. He bit and scratched me this morning, probably because I was inspecting his chin. 

I was having a good day, now I'm irritated. Seriously, how hard is it to get a website up and running, and one that works properly!  Sorry, not meant to offend anyone, just really ticked off at the moment. 

Hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ever since the mean old Hurricane, I've been really needy. I can't seem to leave mom alone. I'm a pretty needy boy usually, but mom is calling me ridiculous. I am asking to be picked up all the time!!! I even want to go in the shower with mom. So mom came home from work yesterday, and I kept on shaking my head, and my ears were flat against my head. Mom thought, Uh oh... fleas! So she tried to look in my ears and around my head (I hate when she inspects me like a monkey) but found only a little bit of build up in my right ear. She kept on rubbing my ears and scratching my head. Then she inspected my body for fleas. Ugh, I told her I didn't have any, and that the only reason I scratch now is because I wear a collar! She didn't listen. So she looked and looked, no fleas! Then I ran for cover! Mom looked down and her lap was filled with... HUNTY FUR! I have long furs. Mom measured one once, and it was 4 inches long! Moms lap was covered. So then shes like "Hunty, Platform!" I came running and jumped on my platform. She took out my zoom groom and my flea comb. I was being a very good boy and mom brushed out a fist full of my long furs! After that, boy did I feel and look sexy. Watch out girls, Hunty is on the prowl!

After our brushing session, I went and tried to attack the bug through the picture window. I had to save mom from it. She hates bugs! I was being a very good boy, and my ears were starting to look better. They were flat against my head for a while there. Anyway mom went to bed super early. She was exhausted! This morning, I woke her up by yeowling. I was bored, and she wasn't up to play with me. She got up and put the light on. There I was in my full sexy mancatness waltzing in showing off. "Morning Hunty" and I meowed. Mom went to get ready for work and I jumped on her back and nuzzled against her neck, and chomped a few times on her hair. She doesn't like that last part so much. Anyway, I kept on running in the shower with mom, and finally she picked me up, put me in the hall and shut the down. "But Mom!! I wanna go in the shower with you." She said "I'll be out in a few minutes Hunty"  Ugh. Anyway, I had a good morning. I tried to go to work with mom again. She said no. I don't know why she can't bring me to work. I'm a lover not a fighter. 

Anyway, I think its time to go fishing, the fish are looking extra plump this morning!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The power went out yesterday. That means I couldn't watch tv. I couldn't check out girls on Catster. Yes, I do look at a few girls on catster and check out their pictures. They're cute! Anyway, I was bored. Mom was bored. It was raining, and windy, and there were leaves falling everywhere. I tried to attack them through the window. So, mom got out my feather flyer. I jumped and jumped and jumped until I caught it! Well normally mom drops the wand and lets me play. Memz was in my way and I wanted to go in the hallway. So I started to huff. "Get out of my way Memz!" She wasn't listening. Then I started to growl a little bit. "MEMZ, GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Mom had to tell her to move, she wasn't getting the hint.  So I played, and was rolling on the floor, getting all tangled up with the string. Oh was it fun! Now, I don't know why, but mom always watches me when I have my feather flyer. Something about eating the feathers. Well yea I want to eat the feathers. Who wouldn't? They're big and bright orange and yellow. Mmmmm. She always makes sure I don't though. I don't understand why. Sometimes I get mad at mom and huff at her when she takes it away.

After playing, I was kinda tired. So I slept in the baby seat. Yep, its mine now. I claimed it. Well the power went back on about 10 hours later!!! Mom was glad her fish didn't die. We have no damage here whatsoever! Mom is very thankful, and I'm thankful for the fish being alive, so I can go ontop of the fishtank and go fishing! Mom went to bed around 10:00 or so and everyone thought the storm was over. WRONG! It was still really windy. Normally I'm a pretty brave boy. And all day I was really brave when it was super windy and we had no power. But last night, I got scared. I slept all night with mom. Right next to her face. I gave her like 10 facials to make sure she knew I was there. She pet me, and we cuddled. I even tried to suck on her arm like Newman! I never did that before. I was feeling really needy and I couldn't get enough of mom. Even after her alarm went off this morning, I cuddled. I was so scared I even ran after her when she left for work this morning! I haven't done that in a long while. Even though I'm a pretty big boy, and I'm 1 year old, I have some growing up to do. Glad mom was with me. I was scared! 

Its a nice day out now. The sun is out shining and its supposed to be like 78 degrees out. Perfect day! Have a great day everyone.

I'm purring for everyone with no power, lives lost in the hurricane, and people who are still under horrific conditions! PURR PURR PURR!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thats right, my mom is lazy! Well, to an extent anyway. You see, she was watching a movie last night to relax. I guess the movie worked because she fell asleep at 7:30!! Normally I get dinner at 8:00. Mom woke up and realized she didn't feed me. I got all excited because I knew it was lamb for dinner, my favorite! You know what she did? She put kibble in my bowl! I looked at it, and meowed. Mom didn't care, she was already halfway down the hall to the bedroom. Kibble? Alright so I do like my kibble, but I really wanted my lamb! Normally, I only get kibble when mom won't be home to feed me. Hmmmm. I think I'll let it slide this one time. Next time, I'm demanding my lamb! 

It was late, around 3:00am and I needed to sleep next to mom. So I jumped on the bed, and meowed a bit, and did the dog circle thing. You know when a dog needs to lay down, they walk in a circle like 3 times. I do that when mom needs to move over. Finally she got the hint and moved. I plopped down right next to mom. I sleep right next to her face. Well mom fell back asleep, and got up a little while later because my back leg was smushing her face. So she looked at me. There I was, sprawled out on my back, airing out my armpits and where my grapes used to be. So I heard mom say "Ugh Hunter" and she rolled over. 

After my nap I went and did a poopie, and then I got the zoomies!I ran into the livingroom like normal and crashed into the picture window! I heard moms alarm clock go off and then I saw the light go on. Time for my entrance! Every morning when mom turns the light on, I waltz in with my tail held high and meow. Then mom says "Hi Hunty, were you a good boy last night?" I'm always a good boy! 

Mom got up, got ready for work and gave me Fancy Feast. Mmmmm! Plus she gave me some treats. Then she left me. :(  Oh well, I'll see her when she comes home!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is a mess. A bumbling, worrywart! Mom was stressing out over the stupid dog yesterday, and mom did not see her scratch ONCE! She did take the plug-ins out, and cleaned the house. Oh you know what, mom was thinking of getting an air purifier. Do you guys think that would help? Mom and Memz both get allergies. So mom is thinking of getting one next week. Mom keeps on vacuuming the rugs, I hate when she does that. It scares me! Oh and mom is also going to buy the detergent that is free of dyes and allergants. Mom is going all out! She cleans everyday!!! The same places, over and over again. Mom was all nice and relaxed until Pepz watched the weather channel...

... Here we go again! Now, she is worried about Hurricane Irene. Mom has no idea what to do incase of a disaster. She told me of an idea she had, and I don't like it at all. She said that she was probably going to keep me in my carrier while she is sleeping, incase something happens, she can just grab it and go! But what if I have to do a poopie?!?! Ugh Mom, just let things happen and take it one minute at a time. I think people at work are starting to get to mom, they're so paranoid all the time. 

She needs a vacation! I think she should go to... Egypt where they worship cats! Maybe she can bring home an Egyptian Mau for me to play with!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunty's mom here. I would write this in Teakas diary but I dont think she has one, and no one would read it. She has like 2 friends. Anyway, I'm slightly overwhelmed, I don't even know if that the right word. Concerned maybe? I feel so bad for Teaka. She is so darn itchy! She is still taking a pill every other day, but it'll be done by this weekend. She is slowly starting to itch more and more. I'm going to have to switch her food again. I might have to buy her a t-shirt to wear too.  I, again, posted on the dogster forums. It is a totally different vibe there. I can't express that enough. No one seems to want to help. A couple of people expressed concern, but i'm looking for answers. Not really answers because I know no one is a vet on these forums. I'm looking more for different avenues I could take. My vet is more than happy to shoot her up with steroids, but I've noticed it makes her mean/aggressive towards Hunter. Poor guy slinks away if he is near her. Hunter is being a champ though and not letting it bother him too much. There is so much tension in my house, its crazy. Its not so much with us Humans, but with the animals. We are all on constant alert with the dog, making sure she isn't scratching. I am always making sure Hunter doesn't go near Teakas food because she'll have a little barking fit. All I want are healthy pets. Actually they are 100% healthy according to their vets. Its just that Teaka is making everyone on high alert. Hunter has no one to really pounce on because Teaka actually bit Hunter a few days ago, and drew a teeny bit of blood. Everyone is okay, I made sure, but thats how aggressive she is being. So Hunter can't play with her, which is making him antsy, and he is being super crazy with the zoomies! Its like this vicious circle that isn't ending. I've thought about getting Teaka a calming collar, but I don't know if whatever homeopathic remedy is on there will make her more itchy. If I knew what she was allergic to, I would get rid of it and everything would be fine! So, I signed up for Care Credit. Its like a credit card for pets. I got approved right after I hit submit and my credit limit is more than I expected! So that made me feel better. 

I just have a lot going on, in between my nieces 2nd birthday, finding the right food for Teaka, having quality time with Hunter, going to Boston again for my doctor, Teakas itching, Teakas aggressiveness, Hunters neediness. Its almost a bit more than I can handle. I almost want to put both Teaka and Hunter at seperate ends of the house and lock them in a room, just for like 1 hour, so I can relax!  Although I would never do that. Hunter is like my appendage. This is going to sound really bad, but I even mentioned to my family that I was thinking about bringing Teaka to a Yorkie rescue. They looked at me like I had 3 heads and said "Don't you dare." I don't deal with stress very well, its almost as if I don't know how to handle it. I just want step by step instructions on what to do. I wish someone could give me some sort of instruction manual, and I would follow it to the T. Without any guidance I am completely lost. I need a plan.  

1. When Teakas food is almost done, switch to Natures Balance LID venison or fish. 
2. If the new food doesn't help, get allergy test!!!
3. Play with Hunter daily so he doesn't feel left out.
4. Play with Teaka
5. Every 3 weeks give Teaka a bath with oatmeal Shampoo.
6. Take 15 minutes out of my evening and just... relax!

Sometimes I just need to write it out. This entry is completely random, and not really about Hunter. I always feel better when I have a plan. Thanks to anyone who has let me vent. Having pets can be overwhelming, but when they look at you and lick your face, its totally worth it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Saturday my tag came in. Mom was excited. I, on the other hand, could care less. She had to catch me. There was no way, I was going to sit still while she took my collar off. Yep, I wear a collar now. Its a tiger print Beastie Band. She put my boomerang tag on. Now I'm all set if I go outside. I still scratch it sometimes, but its been over a week and the collar is still on! The only problem is, people can't really tell I'm wearing a collar. I'm getting floofier, and unless you really pet me, no one notices it! Oh well, mom doesn't plan on letting me outside anytime soon. Bummer. 

Hope you all have a great day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was hanging out with Mom, checking out the fishtank, and there it was, the trash can!  Okay so I walked the rim of it and noticed a can of soda with... a STRAW!! As most of you know I love straws. So, I tried to get it out with my paw, wasn't happening. Then I went all in! I put my face in there and pulled out the straw! Carried it out of the livingroom, into moms bedroom where I proceeded to sniff it, and then bat it all around! Oh I had a great time! Mom kept on laughing and wished she got it on video!

Then it was bedtime for mom. I didn't want her to sleep, so I found my golf ball and rolled that around the hallway. So much fun. I can have fun all by myself. OHH and yesterday mom brushed me. I hate when she does that, but now I look all sexy. I played with Teaka yesterday. She is doing a little bit better, so I stalked and attacked her a few times through the crack in the recliner. She was getting mad at me, so she kept on barking at me. The more she barked, the crazier I got! Mom said "Hunter, are you on some crazy catnip?" Cuz I had some serious zoomies! I don't like catnip, so thats not it. I just wanted to play! After that I ploped down next to memz on the couch. I started to snore...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a DDP today! So exciting. I was wicked happy when mom told me this morning, I ran out into the livingroom and played with my golf ball. Yes I play with a golf ball. I haven't played with it in a while, and yesterday Memz found it for me and rolled it across the floor. Well, we have hardwood floors in our house so this morning all you could hear was the golf ball being batted around. It was a fun time!  Well I don't have much to write about. I was a good boy last night, kinda sorta. You know how that goes. When I get the zoomies, sometimes I end up being bad.  

Happy DDP day to me!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think mom would adopt like 2 more kitties. I just think mom has a really big heart and she feels SO bad! She really feels bad for the Raspy Cat that lives outside. Mom has stopped feeding it, hoping that it'll go home. It doesn't want to go home. It probably has a really bad home life. I keep on telling mom, that she should bring it inside, and I could show it my straw collection. Mom said she can't. She said she is maxed out on animals. Mom is finding it hard to be tough and ignoring the raspy cat. Pepz has brought the cat home 3 times already, and the lady keeps on letting the cat outside. Then it comes to my house. The lady said "Listen, I can't control where my cat goes." Thats when mom gets mad. Mom would like to say, "KEEP THE CAT INSIDE SO IT DOESN"T GET RUN OVER BY A CAR!!" but she doesn't. :(

Mom also really likes Sweetie, one of Pandas babies. So cute! I told mom she could be my friendgirl. Mom said no and again, she is maxed out on animals. I told her, no problem, we can let Sam go free! Then she could adopt the kitten. Mom said no. :(  She told me if she had her way, she would probably adopt the Raspy Cat, as she knows Sweetie will have a great home. 

Mom said she doesn't know what to do. The cat is not going anywhere, it lives on our deck and everyday it talks to mom. I wish we had a big house so mom could adopt the Raspy cat and Sweetie. Mom doesn't know if she could handle it. As it is, Im pretty much all she can handle. Anyway... somefurs have been asking about Teaka so here is her story.

Teaka is doing okay. She is 100% healthy. No hypothyroidism. No skin diseases. She still itches occasionally. She is on a tapering dose of steroids. Mom switched her food to Taste Of the Wild Wetlands. She doesn't think it's going to help after the pills are all gone. It costs $300-$400 for an allergy test which mom doesn't have right now. Mom did post on dogster for help, but mom gets a different vibe over there. That if you're not a "regular" they're reluctant to help you. Mom doesn't find that with catster. Then again, am I a "regular"? Mom is going to switch her food again to fish or a LID food, when her current food is done. Hopefully that'll help.

Anyway, mom is just a little down today, wishing she could help all the stray cats and kittens needing a home. Mom is a total softie when it comes to animals!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Saturday mom got a package in the mail. She opened it and got excited! She came out into the kitchen and put this thing around my neck. She bought me a collar! Oh geez, now I look stupid. Its a tiger print Beastie Band. I know its there, but so far haven't been able to take it off. It itches! I scratch at it sometimes. There is only one problem. I have so much floof (I'm getting more floofier as I get older) that if I were to go outside, no one would notice I have a collar on. Mom said its almost pointless. I don't have a tag on it yet. Mom bought a boomerang tag that goes on the collar and doesn't hang. This way, I won't notice it, or so she thinks. The tag hasn't come in yet. 

This morning, around 3:00am I jumped on the bed like usual and plopped down next to mom. Mom was somewhat sleeping and looked at me, she thought I was a kitten! I think she was dreaming. Then I gave her a full microdermabrasion facial! She needed it. Anyway, I've been pretty good. Nothing new around here. 

I'm gonna go chase the fish.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did it. I escaped, thanks to baby Cate! Auntie came over with the babies yesterday. Caitlin kept on going in and out of the house. Mom told her: "Cate, close the slider when you come inside, we don't want the kitty to go outside" then Cate said "Hunta?" "yep, you're right thats Hunter" mom said. So everything was okay for a little bit. Then mom turned to go back outside and noticed the slider was open! Cate was in the kitchen and pointed "Auntie, Hunta!!!" She ratted me out! The little booger. I ran, I jumped off the deck and landed on this big weird carpet. Mom said it was grass. I never felt grass before. Mom was trying to get me, I didn't want to go back inside! So I got behind these 2 big milk cartons, They were huge! Mom said they were gas tanks. Well Auntie was on one side, and mom was on the other. I don't really like Auntie because she smells of dogs. So I went towards moms side, and she scooped me up and back into the house I went. I whined for a little bit and kept on escaping from "Time Out" because I really wanted to go back outside with everyone. 

Mom ordered my collar and tag on Monday. Still isn't here yet. Now mom can't wait for it to get here. Thank Goodness mom put Frontline on me!

This morning I tried to climb the window. Didn't really work out as planned. I fell and mom saved me. I really didn't want to cuddle this morning! Oh and mom gave me the last can of Fancy Feast, she better go shopping right after work! I need my breakfast of Fancy Feast every morning!!

So I'm safe, inside the house. Wish I could go back outside, looks like a good time!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow catster is having some crazy fleas around here. Mom keeps on having to log in. Then it couldn't find my profile. Geesh! Talking about fleas, the vet found just 1 on Teaka! She killed it. Mom is disgusted!!! She puts frontline on her every month too. Now the vet said we can put it on every 3 weeks. The vet tested for Hypothyroidism. We'll get the results today. Oh, on a good note, she doesn't have ringworm. And, she lost weight! YAY!!!!

So last night I helped mom strip all of the beds and put disinfectant on, and new sheets! I had a good time. She vacuumed, the whole house, and washed what she could. Mom hates bugs!!! So because the vet found a flea on Teaka (mom is blaming the outside cat and the backyard) she had to put some on me!  Then she flea combed me. No fleas on me! I haven't even been itchy at all. No flea dirt. I'm clean as a whistle! Which is why cats are so much better than dogs. Did you know that Fleas can go through screen doors and even humans can bring them in your house on their shoes? Mom didn't know that! 

Anyway, Teaka is doing better, got another steroid shot and some pills. If she has hypothyroid she'll be on a pill for the rest of her life. Well I guess its better than doing insulin shots. Oh and mom is pretty disappointed with Dogster. She posted on their forum asking other doggy owners for help about Teaka, and only 1 person responded. No help at all. Unless you're a 'regular' I guess you don't get any help over there. 

Now, onto my fishies!!! 
Mom got me 2 that look like this: <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.aquariumfish.net/images_01/marble_angel_090507_w0440.jpg">Marble Angelfish</a>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, so mom needs to keep her mind occupied. She is really worried about Teaka. She isn't doing so well. She scratched herself raw today! Mom is bringing her to the vets again tonight. Mom thinks she might have hypothyroidism. Teaka has been kinda mean to me lately. She always rats me out when I'm doing something bad. So, to keep mom occupied, I told her we should write in my diary about the outside cat!

There is this black and silver tabby cat that is living on our side deck. Mom is kind of scared of it. She won't touch it. The cat is friendly. Yesterday mom felt bad and fed the kitty. She took one of my fancy feast cans!! How dare she. Its okay though, I felt bad too.  Pepz said the cat belongs to a neighbor down the road. The neighbor went to FL on vacation and left the cat outside to fend for itself.  Well, Pepz got the pink round mat that Hanna used to use and put it outside. The cat thought that was the best thing ever! Well yesterday mom went to get pizza. I guess mom scared the cat when she walked outside, and the cat hissed at mom!  Mom got scared and went out the front door. The cat looks old, scruffy, danduff on its fur, has't been brushed in a long time. It has a collar on, but no ID. Why put a collar on a kitty with no ID tag? Kinda silly.  Anyway, this morning mom went out the door and there was the cat. It woke up, stretched, and followed mom. Just like I do!  Mom kept on going, and said, "are you going to go in the car with me to work?" The cat meowed. It has a raspy cat meow, not a little baby meow like I have. Sounds like the day after a music concert. Hehehe The cat keeps on seeing me through the door. I think it wants to come inside. Mom said, No way!!  She feels bad, but the cat does have an owner, irresponsible owner, but an owner nonetheless. 

If mom would touch the cat, then touch me, could I get anything? Mom doesn't want to touch the cat because she doesn't want me to get anything. Mom has enough on her mind with Teaka, she doesn't need me getting sick too!!

So if you guys have a chance, say a little prayer for Teaka. She needs to get better so I can pounce on her again! She needs all the help she can get. Power of the purr works, I think i'll work for dogs too, right? Even though dogs are our worst enemy, I think I'll keep Teaka around, shes a good egg.

P.S Mom bought me new fishies!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So after my fun last weekend with the fish and the fishtank, Mom took my new fishies away!!!! I was pretty upset about that. I didn't do anything to them, I swear! She said they were mean fishies and they she is going to get me better fish this weekend. 

I know I haven't written in a while, mom is getting kind of bored of catster. She said the new-ness and excitement isn't what it used to be. I am writing in my diary because I am hiding from Caitlin. She is here with the baby. No, I didn't babysit. The baby pulls my fur hard! It hurts! Then Cate will say "No No!" and try to whack me with her finger. She is a fast little person! She is almost 2 years old, she runs, talks, tells Teaka "Bad dog"! I purrsonally thing that is the best thing she knows how to say! So anyway, yes I'm hiding from Cate and the baby. I really don't like when they come over. Mom calls them tornados because the house will be clean before they are over, and when they leave, its a mess!!

I had the zoomies this morning. I ran into the glass window. Mom laughed. I didn't hurt the window, but the window hurt me. I had a little headache. But my fancy feast made it all better!  Mom has been playing with me, and even let me walk around the house with my feather flyer. She found out its easier to wait for me to let go of my feathers, than to pry them from my mouth, which I don't like at all!!  

Anyway, I hope mom buys me really nice fishies!!! She is going with Auntie after work today to check them out.  Hope you guys have a fun weekend!

Hunty]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On friday I had a talk with mom. I told her I wanted her to clean out the fishtank (because it looked like a dozen hairballs were inside) and that I wanted new fish to stalk. Well, believe it or not, she listened to me! So, on Saturday mom and Pepz cleaned out the fishtank. Its a big fishtank, 55 gallons! They saved a fish for me. No, not to eat. To watch. Its in a glass bowl, and its a Betta fish. It looks like this: <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://images.sciencedaily.com/2009/06/090629100649-large.jpg">Betta Fish</a>
They kept on moving the bowl because I would stick my head inside trying to get the fish. Finally, they put it in the spare bedroom so I couldn't get at it. Anyway, the best part of the entire day, was when they took out this big hose. One end was in the fish tank, and the other end was in the sink. Mom did something and the hose magically sucked up all the water from the tank and it emptied in the sink! It was so cool! Mom would use the hose sucker thing and then a yucky hairball looking thing would go in the hose, I'd chase it from the livingroom down the hallway, and into the kitchen sink! I haven't had that much fun in a long time! After a while the water was gone, and mom cleaned out the tank, It was so nice and shiny! I wanted to go inside, but mom said no. 

So yesterday, mom went out again with Pepz and got sand, decorations, fake plants. Now I don't get that, why get fake plants? I mean yea, they're more fun to chew on, but they taste like poop. And I have experience tasting poop. See my diary entry...<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/1129599/diary/A_day_in_the_life_of_hunter/712846">Cat of the Day!</a>  Anyway, mom decorated the fish tank, and she got that long hose out again. Oh boy I was so excited! This time, the sink was magical. It pushed the water from the sink into the hose, and into the fishtank! You should of seen it. Mom got me 6 fish! They're babies right now, but mom said they grow to be 5 inches long! Thats one nice sushi meal! But don't tell her I said that.  
The 2 orange fish look like this: <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.fishlinkworldwide.com/fish/products_pictures/red_zebra_cichlid.jpg">Red Zebra</a>

Cool Fish huh? I can't wait til they're big!! Hope everyone has a good day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had the zoomies this morning. It was all because I got over stimulated. It happens to me a lot. Mom called me down off of my cat tree this morning and we cuddled. I follow her everywhere and she went to the bathroom to do her hair. I love moms hair. Its nice and long. So she was sitting down brushing her hair, and I jumped up onto the counter. I started to chomp down on moms hair and nuzzle up against her neck. She had to take me off of the counter, because she is afraid I'll leave a nice big clump of hair missing from her head! Hehehehe So I was on the floor, and I noticed mom didn't have shoes on. Well, I decided to take a taste of her toes. Yep, I licked them. Then, she had short pants on. So, I decided to taste her leg. Although I used my teeth a little bit. Mom says it was like I was nibbling a corn on the cob. I didn't bite mom, just needed to taste her skin a little bit. Mom doesnt like when I do that. She thinks its the start of something bad. But I was over stimulated. My eyes were big and black. Then I looked to the left, and then the right, and what did I see? The bathtub!!! I jumped inside and mom could hear me rolling around. I tried to attack her through the shower curtain. Shes smart and moved away. Then mom shut the light and left the bathroom. I zoomed out into the livingroom. Oh boy did I have fun with mom this morning!

Video of the day: <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.youtube.com/watch?v=NAhQKayAt1k&feature=channel_video_title">Tired Maru</a>  
This is what I look like when I'm airing out my armpits and where my grapes used to be. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is so happy! She didn't get laid off from her job! Oh boy, was she worried.  Now, I can get back to writing in my diary! Thanks for all the good vibes, they really worked!  So let me tell you guys whats been going on. Something was wrong with my eye the other day. I kept on pawing at it. Mom tried to see, but I really wouldn't let her. Can you blame me? She watched me for about a day, and then I was all better!  It was a miracle! Mom said it was probably the lysine she put in my food that helped me out.  Anyway, Teaka isn't doing so well. Auntie gave her a haircut. I, of course was sleeping because I didn't want to get my fur cut. It would of been tragic! Anyway, Auntie mentioned that Teaka might have... Ringworm!!! Mom freaked out. Brought her to the vets and they did tests. It takes 2 weeks for the results though. Mom checked me over, and over, and over. I'm not losing any fur, not really itchy, and I'm doing good. If the test results are positive for Teaka, then I have to go to my vets to get checked out.  

Although Teakas vet thinks its just allergies. She mentioned to mom to change Teakas food. So, mom is slowing switching her food to Taste of the Wild. She likes it. I like it too!! Mom was putting some in a bag and I got the sample bag in my mouth and took off! I am master at stealing things! So I had a kibble. It's duck! Okay, so I had some pink duck sauce once. Didn't taste like duck. Then again, I don't really know what duck tastes like. So I ate the kibble. It tasted pretty good. I was only allowed one though.  

Anyway, mom said we're going to keep a low profile for the rest of the week, (incase her director changes her mind). But as of next week, I'll be writing in my diary again!  YAY!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so mom is super stressed. I've noticed it. Mom and I had a heart to heart conversation last night. She told me she might be losing her job! Oh no!!! Mom said she was freaking out. I told her I understand and that its okay. I did tell her though that she better stock up on my fancy feast before she loses her job. I do have to eat ya know! She said if things don't get better, I'll be eating FF for breakfast and dinner! I might even have meals of kibble! YAY!!! Although I know she really doesn't like that idea.  Mom said its not definite but its something she needs to keep an eye on and watch what she spends. So mom and I made a compromise. I said she didn't have to write in my diary while she is at work everyday. I said I wanted her to work hard and maybe she won't get laid off. Mom said she is going to try to get me my good food and my FF so I can keep my normal food rotation going. Its been working out really well for me. 

So friends, I won't be on catster for a while, at least for a couple of weeks until mom knows if she has a job or not. Please pray for her.  I'm sorry If I'm going to miss any DDPs, Gotcha Days, B-days, Anniversaries, Bridge crossings etc. Its not my intention to miss those events. Mom just needs to focus on her job right now, and pray she doesn't get laid off. I hope you kitties understand. 

So, its not Goodbye, its I'll see ya later!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright, so I admit it, I'm a mommas boy and I'm proud of it! I couldn't get enough of mom this morning! I kept on wanting to climb up her to get as close to her face as possible. I asked to be picked up while she was getting laundry out of the dryer. So she got the clothes and managed to pick me up too! That was fun, then she put the clothes down, and I jumped on her back and nuzzled up against her neck. I love mom a whole bunch! 

Yesterday I ate my breakfast and then I was whining for more food, so I got kibble. YAY for kibble! I never get kibble. Anyway this morning mom told me "Hunty you always get a pot belly after you eat your kibble" So, no kibble today. ;(  thats okay though. Tomorrow we're having a party! Its Pepz birthday, and Uncle Andrew. I don't really like him because he barks like a dog at me. It scares me! So I probably won't make an entrance. Plus everyone is going to be outside playing with the babies! I'll be in the nice cool house! 

Anyway, I gotta go. We're blowing up the pool for baby Cate. I wonder how many holes I can put in it before tomorrow... heheheh

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I think mom needs a house sale.  Not a yard sale, because I don't go outside. Not a garage sale because we don't have a garage. Not a moving sale, because we're not moving. I mean a house sale. Where we sell things from inside the house, and I can be the host. 

The first thing I want to sell is: The plastic tupperware container mom put my treats in! I haven't been able to help myself in a couple of weeks and I'm in need of my temptation treats! $5

The second thing I want to sell is: Teaka. She is getting really grumpy in her old age. She is only 2, but she barks at me when I'm doing something bad! She is such a tattle tale.  $50.

I also want to sell the fish tank, because mom won't put any more cool orange fishies in there for me to bat at. So it has to go! $25

Sometimes I even think of selling mom. Only because she irritated me this morning and I scratched up her hand. She called me a bad boy! I wonder how much to sell humans for? I mean obviously we're superior to them so how about $100.  Too much? Just bring your best offer. Shes negotiable. Also might be able to retract my offer if she brings me treats, then she stays. 

I hope I get some money out of this, I want to buy another toy to play with.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I'm so excited! I've been chosen for another DDP! And, I didn't even write in my diary all last week. So I guess that goes to show you, you don't need to write about poop to be chosen for a DDP. 

Mom was on vacation last week so I haven't been able to use the computer. I'm not allowed to use it when she isn't at home. Mom was gone for a few days and she came home last night. Boy oh boy did I miss her! We slept together last night, and I licked her face. I stretched out next to her. I missed her so much! I love my mom. Don't get me wrong, it was great hanging out with memz and pepz, but they don't really pet me or pick me up. They fed me, and just cleaned my box. 

Anyway, nothing new to report. I'm just happy mom is back! I have to go now, I'm going to plan another escape attempt! Shhhh don't tell mom!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has a new nickname for me. I purrsonally thing its degrading. Because I cleaned my bum infront of her face yesterday, she has been calling me Butt Boy. Mom thinks its funny. Memz doesn't really care, but then Mom said it, and I came running. Memz said "its pretty sad you can call him Butt Boy and he still comes running to you. Mom said, "yea, I have him trained pretty well."  Trained? TRAINED?!?! Do I look like a dancing poodle? I don't think so! I have mom trained! She knows when to feed me my breakfast and if she doesn't, I whine. And I can yeowl pretty loud too! That comment made me mad. But I didn't bite her. I've been a pretty good boy and haven't bitten her in almost 3 weeks! 

Ohhh Ohhh I almost forgot, mom got me a new toy yesterday. Its a laser light, the other we had died. I killed it. So, mom bought me another one. Problem is, Teaka likes it too! 

Auntie and the babies went to visit mom at work today. Then auntie said that they were going to visit Memz and Pepz. I have to go and get ready, Caitlin is probably going to run around and chase me. I have to be prepared, maybe I can babysit today while Cate is outside. I have yet to sit on the baby! Wish me luck!

Mom called me and I came in strutting my sexy mancatness....  I jumped on the bed, and then she smelled it! Oh boy I stunk!!! She was almost gagging. I plopped down right next to her face and then I had to clean my pooper shooter. I have no shame. I'll clean my bum anywhere! Mom took a peek, no poopie! Yea mom, no poopie after I clean my bum! Silly!  I had a mini poopie explosion in my box. Don't tell her though, she thinks i'm clean all the time. I'm blaming it on the beef she gave me last night. 

Hope everyone has a clean Pooper Shooter sort of day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well after mom found me walking around with the treat bag in my mouth the other day, she figured she'd better lock it somehow until she buys baby locks for the cabinets. She put a hair elastic around the two doors so I couldn't open them. Yea right! Well I managed to get my head in the cabinet and she heard the rustling of the bag. She came into the kitchen and saw my head almost stuck in the cabinet, my body out in the kitchen, my tail wagging like a dog, and one of my front paws trying to paw my way out! I was glad she was there to save me, I felt like my eye balls were going to pop outta my head! So she got me out of the cabinet. After I washed my face, I sat infront of the cabinet, trying to figure out how to open it without hurting myself. I sat there and was thinking, and thinking, and finally it hit me! I chewed through the hair elastic and it fell off! Simple as that! 

Then I really opened the cabinet. Its super easy, all you need to do is take your paw and try to wedge it between the door and the edge of the cabinet and once your paw is in, then wedge your head in and there you have it! Well, I got in the cabinet again and found another treat bag, grabbed it and walked out of the kitchen, around the couch and onto my "treat destroying chair." Yes, I have a special chair where I rip open the bag and devour the treats! The only problem is, Mom was awake, and she caught me! Now, she is going to do what Zacks mommy does. She is going to put them in a tupperware container. How the heck am I going to get them that way? I'm sure I'll think of something! 

Motto of the day: Don't go sneaking treats when your parents are awake. They ruin all the fun!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This weekend was pretty good. I had a good time. Saturday afternoon mom and I played with my toys. I caught the feathers on the wand and I wouldn't let mom have it. I growled a little bit, and mom left me alone. She didnt want me to eat the feathers so she tried to pull them out of my mouth. Big mistake mom! She got close and I swung at her leg with my paw. Mom did not like that! She got too close, its not my fault. After I let go, mom said no more. I almost get too crazy with it, mom calls it "Over stimulated."  

Yesterday mom noticed that I was really sleepy and not hungry at all. She left me alone for part of the day and she went to see a movie with Memz. They got back and I ate my food a little bit. Finally mom found it. I ripped open the bag of treats again, and mom found the evidence! No wonder I wasnt hungry! Then last night mom saw me with the OTHER bag of treats. Mom has no idea how I got them, (they're in a cabinet I secretly know how to open) I was holding the bag in my mouth and ready to destroy them!  Now mom has to "kitten-proof" the cabinets. She said I'm worse than a kitten. I never did this sort of thing when I was a baby. She is going to buy those cabinet locks for babies. Sheesh! She said I'm exhausting and she never knows what I'm going to do next! I guess thats the fun part, keeping mom guessing! 

Hope you guys had a fun weekend, I did!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well mom played with my wand toy yesterday. I had such a good time. Mom switched the end to a feather toy and I jumped and jumped until I had it in my mouth. Well mom tried to get me to spit it out, wasn't happening! I was huffing at mom cuz she was getting closer. Finally she got really close to me and I growled under my breath. It was really quiet, mom could barely hear it, but I did it. That just shows I have a mini lion inside somewhere! hehehe. Mom and I had a good time playing. 

Anyway, yesterday mom was looking at animalplanet.com and checking out the kitties, and found this! <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://animal.discovery.com/breedselector/catprofile.do?id=5070">York Chocolate</a> Mom read it and their personality  completely describes me!! Although I don't think I have a body type like a Siamese, I'm more slender and long. Kinda looks like me too! I'm a red boy though. Hey, I could be named a New Hampshire Red. Instead of a York Chocolate! HA! 

Oh and about the microchipping nonsense... Mom is getting furious! She has called at least 6 places including shelters, and vets. The other vets (not mine) will do it cheaper BUT by law they have to examine me. So mom would have to pay for a vet visit, plus the microchip. So that option is out. Petco and Petsmart don't do it around here. There is one shelter so far that has a microchipping clinic, but its all the way in Stratham, NH which is an hour from my house! Mom would probably spend the money she would be saving in gas! She is going to call the shelter close to our house tomorrow, they're closed today. She doesn't want to bring me back to Manchester where I was adopted from because they're dirty. If all else fails, mom will save the money and bring me to my vet. So thats the scoop on that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, I escaped yesterday. Meaning I, Sir Hunty McFluffyButt, went outside!!! I'm an indoor kitty too!! It wasn't my fault, I swear! Alright so I'll tell you MY side of the story and the punishment I got. :(  Well mom went to the store after our play session. I was kind of tired from all that jumping, so I was just laying around. Mom finally came home and a couple of neighbors were outside talking. One had a dog with her. Well the stupid neighbor across the street from us let his dog out, (its a pekingese.. you know the ugly ones with the flat faces...) Anyway both dogs started barking, then Teaka was barking in our house! Meanwhile mom was bring in the bags from the grocery store. She finally had the last bunch of bags, had water bottles, eggs, bread, all the delicate stuff. She opened the door, and I ran outside!!! Mom freaked out! She dropped everything, yelled "HUNTER!!!" so loud I think the neighbors looked at her. I got scared. I stopped in the middle of the ramp. (we have a ramp to the house for Memz) Mom grabbed me, and I felt her heart beating like a bagillion times a minute. Oh boy was she mad at me!!! I just wanted to see what all the barking was about. Geez...

She put me down and pointed to the kitchen, "Hunter, Go, NOW!" I ran into the kitchen and onto the table where I proceeded to inspect the groceries she bought. She didn't buy me anything!  After she put the groceries away, she really didn't want to even look at me, she was so mad! But I followed her to the bedroom, jumped on my platform and did my lil "Mmmrrrooott?" noise. I guess its my version of a MC trill. Anyway, she picked me up and we had the "No escaping discussion" Oh geez, not another discussion. Well I listened, and I licked, mom almost had tears in her eyes. I'm not allowed to go near the back or front door at all. Then she said "discussion closed!" She really didn't pay attention to me at all after that. She was kinda scared that I'd run away. But I was good, I listened to her when she yelled my name while I was outside! That has to count for something right??

So now mom needs ideas has to how to keep identification on me. I keep on taking off my collars, what can I say, I don't like them. Plus they make me look like a kitten and they smooth out my mini neck ruff!! Mom is thinking of a microchip, but would it hurt since I'm already a year and a half old??? Hmmm.... Any ideas? It would be just incase I run out again. Mom wouldn't know what to do! 

I'm home safe and sound. I had a good time for the 2.5 seconds I was outside. Mom on the other hand, I think she freaked out a little bit.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Back to my old self and being Bad to the Bone! I was so bad yesterday morning. Mom was getting really mad at me because I kept on jumping on her bureau, over and over again! She got fed up (whatever that means) and got out my new toy. Oh boy did I jump, and jump and jump. Mom has to figure out how to get a video of me playing with my new toy.  Thinking about videos, did you guys see Maru with his new box?? I wonder if I could fit in a box like he does. Mom finds him adorable. Check him out!

Anyway, I'm doing good, starting to get more hungry during the day though, so mom is giving me a bit of kibble before dinner. I haven't bit mom in over a week! Progress!! I can't wait for mom to come home, it'll be "Mom and Hunty Playtime!!"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has been playing with me everyday!!! Now, I even go to play by myself on my cat tree.  I woke up mom this morning and I gave her licks, and headbutts. We cuddled, and I played with the monster under the covers. Oh boy I killed it. It was trying to get me! Its moms birthday today! She went out with Auntie and had lunch and then came home. Then Auntie came over with the two babies. You know, I even came out and meowed at everyone. I never did that before. I was being super friendly. I meowed at mom, was out in the living room hanging out with the family. Mom was so proud of me! My attitude is getting better as well! It was a little awkward when Auntie tried to pet me. I'm not used to her because she doesn't live here. She put her hand over my head to try and pet me, and my eyes got really black. Mom quickly said, "don't put your hand over his head, he will swat and maybe nip you. Let him sniff your hand" So I sniffed Auntie and she smelled like... dogs! She has 3 of them. Scary! 

Now, I'm napping in between the pillows! I'm being a very good boy and mom is super proud of me today!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom went out yesterday and bought me new pressies!!! OMG I was so excited!! Well she got me this really big green mouse, it has real fur! Its okay to play with, I like to lick it. My favorite is this wand set she bought me.  Check it out:  
<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.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10803260&lmdn=Cat">My new wand toys with tassles!!!</a> Anyway, Its PAWSOME!!!! Okay so the wand itself is kinda icky, BUT mom got my feather flyer wand and put the different kind of tassles on that. So we played with a couple of the tassles for like 10 minutes each!!!  I think we have 2 left of the feather ends to try out today! OMG I was jumping and jumping and jumping. Then I chased it. I even caught the one with the ping pong on it, and then I growled at Teaka! HA!  I had so much fun. I rather play with wand toys anyday than the stupid catnip ones. I started to pant, so thats when mom stopped. I can't wait for mom to come home so we can play again!

I woke up mom early this morning because I wanted her to play with me again. I pulled her hair really hard this morning and she yelled "OUCH!!" I was being lovey, I even gave her a microdermabrasion!! I also asked to be picked up, twice!! She really didn't want to get up but I made her! It was 5:15am and she figured she had a little time to play with me before she got ready for work. She didn't get my wand out. :(  she said it would be too noisey when I jump so we played with my toys in my hammock. It wasn't as fun as the wand tassles, but it was a good time. I spend it with mom.  Mom got ready for work, and gave me my breakfast. Now, I have to wait 8 whole hours for her to come home to play with my new toy. Thats okay, I'll pounce on Teaka!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty


(Hunty's mom: Hunter still isn't himself, I'm hoping that if I keep on playing with him, things might change. I was extremely stressed last week, maybe that has something to do with it? I don't know. I just want everyone to know I'm not mad at Hunter. I'm annoyed and frustrated towards him, but not mad. He hasn't done anything for me to be mad at him. He hasn't bit or scratched me since last Friday. So thats a good thing.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunty's mom here. I thought things were going so well on Sunday. Now he is back to being distant. I came home from work yesterday and he was napping. I let him be. Then he chose to nap in another bedroom in the middle of the pillows. Thats fine. Not an issue. However someone does sleep there at night so I had to move him. He wasn't happy. He didn't bite or kick, but I could tell I was annoying him. I promised myself and him that I would play with him when I got home from work. So I was finally able to relax and I got out his Da Bird, and a laser light. He wasn't too interested. He likes things on wands. I need to buy him another fleece dancer I think. Anyway, He chased the light a little bit, but got annoyed when he couldn't catch it. I think he found a bug or something by the picture window because he was attacking it for a little while last night. Anyway this morning I woke up to him licking my face. He is still the major licker hes always been. So I pet him but he just seems totally annoyed when I touch him. I didn't want to bother him again, so I turned over and then he got up and proceeded to pull my hair. Of course that gets me up. He tried to go on my bureau to knock things down and I wasn't having it. I got up, he jumped to his platform, and I went back to bed. He jumped on the bed and decided to pull my hair again. Now I'm annoyed. I was/am tired of tip toeing around him, not touching him, letting him do his thing. So I grabbed him, and layed him down with me. After a little while I got up and figure I'd play with him for a little bit. So I got all his toys from the floor and put them in his hammock. He jumps on his cat tree, plays with his toys in the hammock, falls in the hammock, climbs out, finds his Wubba, and decides he needs to attack it, over and over again. He did ask to be picked up this morning, but his attitude is like "I'm Hunter, hear me ROAR, and if you don't like it, go floof yourself" 

I am NOT dealing with him acting like Mr. Macho. Sorry, not happening in this house. No way. I thought if I let him be, gave him his distance that he would revert back to his lovey personality. Nope. I am NOT going to let a cat show me how I should act towards him. He is not the ruler of this house. Maybe cats do change their personalities as they get older. But I am NOT, I repeat NOT, going to deal with his attitude. I am the boss NOT Hunter!
 

Hunty's very annoyed mom,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I have a compromise going on. Its like our secret pact. Well I won't bite, if mom doesn't touch me while I'm sleeping, or touch my belly floof! So far, its working! I didn't bite mom all weekend. :) I was being all lovey this morning, asking to be picked up, waited for my breakfast, I was being really good! I even got treats. 

I have noticed that mom won't come to me for lovies. I have to go to her, then she gets all mushy. I like it better this way. So far so good. I'm slowly starting to trust mom again. 

I was napping yesterday on my spot on the bed next to mom. She noticed that my feet look bigger, and that my leg fur looks longer. She really didn't think of it until we went to the kitchen. Usually I stretch up against the kitchen counter and my front paws just touch the edge of the counter. Well I did it yesterday and my paws can go on top of the counter now!! I'm getting taller!! 

Maybe thats why I was so nasty towards mom? I have growing pains! 

Anyway, mom has been playing with me, with my glitterballs. Does she not know those are kitten toys. I want big boy toys. I love the lazer light, but the batteries ran out. She needs to buy more, pronto!! Yesterday, I climbed my cat tree like a... tree! I didn't use the platforms, I grabbed the pole and walked up it like it was an actual tree. Mom was impressed.

Oh on a more yucky note, mom found 2 ticks on Teaka and a... FLEA!!!  So mom gave her a bath, and found another dead flea. Mom used MY flea comb on her, now its infected and she needs to buy me a new BOY colored one. She put the last vial of Frontline on her. Then she checked me. Thank Goodness I'm white, easier to see the fleas that way. So far so good, no fleas on me!! Mom isn't going to chance it. She bought Teaka and me, Frontline from entirelypets.com.  She was so excited they have great prices!! 

Anyway thats whats going on, I'm okay, I still have my moments, but overall I'm fine. Mom is giving me space, and respecting my privacy.

Hunty]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow I'm a DDP today!! I guess the diary gal must feel bad for me because mom was mad at me. Thank you diary gal!  :)  Well mom came home yesterday and found me sleeping on the bed. She came over and pet me and I licked her a couple of times. Didn't purr though. So she left me be, and went about her day. Then I was in a room I know I'm not supposed to be in. Mom went in there for a minute and I ran in after her. Well I was laying in the doorway just minding my own business and mom tried to pick me up so we could leave the room. Nope, I wasn't happy. I bit and scratched moms other hand!! Mom put me on the couch and ignored me. Now, mom is getting worried. Why am I being so bad?? That was the last time mom saw me, 6:00 last night.  I didn't sleep with mom, go in her room, or on my cat tree. Actually mom doesn't even know where I am right now. I'm still eating, peeing and poopie-ing.  Hmmmm  Maybe I'll make it up to mom somehow.

Purrz & Licks,
Hunter

(Note from mom: I don't understand why he is being like this. Nothing has changed in the household. Routines are still at the same time every day. I haven't fussed over him a lot, because I know he is annoyed with me. Its almost like we're living seperate lives. I know we are literally, but normally he is always within viewing distance. Its not normal for him to not sleep in my room. If he hears me awake, he always comes waltzing in, not this morning. I haven't actually really pet him in a couple of days, in fear he is going to bite my hands.  For a couple of days I was always trying to brush him, but now I've realized he isn't the type of cat to be brushing all the time. I'm upset. Its like Where is my loveable, crazy, following, headbutting, licking Hunty??? I wish he'd come back. I really don't like this mean, biting, scratching Hunter.  I miss my sweet boy.)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm mad at mom, and mom is mad at me! It's all her fault though! I was sleeping last night on my side of the bed. Mom was sleeping too, then I wake up to find her arm around me, trying to bring me closer to her. How dare she wake me up, when she wasn't even awake herself! So, I found a nice spot on her arm, and I bit her! Well its just my grab and hold technique. She tried to pull away, and I clenched down even harder. THEN, I started to air knead. She put her fingers in my mouth and I let go. She fell back asleep and I did it again, and again and again! Mom was NOT happy. She turned over and didn't want anything to do with me. Well same goes for me!!! I left the bed and slept on my cat tree! 

This morning, we didn't do our morning routine, no microdermabrasions, I didn't ask to be picked up, I didn't even meow at her. I just stayed on my cat tree. I'm so mad I didn't even go to the kitchen for my breakfast! I have to be pretty mad to not eat my fancy feast. So I wonder who can hold out the longest. Mom is pretty good at holding a grudge, up until I sit on her and headbutt her like 4 times! Then she becomes a real softie! All I have to do is work my mancat charm, works everytime!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was being a pain in the bum this morning. I was being super needy and lovey. I kept on wanting mom to pick me up. She was busy so on the 3rd time, she picked me up and plopped me in her lap. Normally, I'm not a lap cat, but I enjoyed it this morning. I purred and purred, and then I started to air knead. Its the same as kneading on a blanket, but instead I was on moms lap and my paws were in the air, kneading. Mom thought it was cute. :) Can mancats be cute? I rather be known as tough and rugged! 

Then mom went to the bathroom to do her hair. I went in there and started playing with this blue thing on a stick! It was big!! Mom got grossed out and said "Hunty, why are you playing with the plunger??? Its dirty, don't touch" So I jumped in the tub, I was rolling around, playing with the shower liner. Then I tried to get the drain out, I pawed at it, and mom could hear me. She flung the curtains open and I just looked at her with these big black eyes, I was ready to attack! So I jumped on the edge of the tub and saw the big blue thing on a stick again. I was starting to wiggle my bum, and was ready to attack when... mom shut the lights off and left me. :(

Ohhh I forgot to tell you guys about my floofy pants. Yesterday, I was laying on my platform and mom got out the dreaded pink comb. She attacked my floofy pants. Boy she got a lot of hair out! They still look floofy, at least she didn't cut them this time. I think she wanted to spare me from getting another draft!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I need to trade my mom for someone else. Who wants to be my new mom? You won't believe what my mom forgot to do! She forgot to buy me food. How is that even possible?!?! So Sunday night I had kibble for dinner. Monday morning I had kibble for breakfast. Mom felt really bad. Yesterday she went out and bought me tons of food! She even bought me a.... Flea comb!!! Alright so to make it official, I do NOT have any fleas. She was looking at things to groom me with. There was a metal comb but the prongs were spaced out too much. So she got this flea comb. Only problem is, its pink! Sometimes I don't understand my mom, why does she humiliate me like that? Pink? Do I look like a girl? Alright so my grapes are gone, that does not mean I'm all dainty and fragile. Ugh. 

So I got up on my platform and she combed me. It works! Causes a bit of static, but overall, it gets the hair out. Im not really shedding, and I don't have an undercoat. So mom didn't end up with a big chunk of hair. Mom is used to short haired cats, with undercoats. 

Anyway, mom and I played with my feather flyer last night. Fun times! I kept on huffing at mom to get away from my feather. I had it in my mouth and she wanted to take pictures. Ugh she drives me nuts. Who wants to trade moms with me?? Any takers???

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I woke up mom this morning bright and early! 4:45am! I got a hold of her hair on the back of her head and pulled, twice! She shot out of bed, it was fabulous! I was being a really lovey boy this morning. Basically I had to suck up to her, because once she got out of the bedroom she wouldn't be a happy momma! So I purred, we played, I even let her touch my white belly floof! Talk about some major butt kissing! Then she got up and walked in the livingroom. There it was, half on the floor, half on the carpet. Mom didn't know if it was a poopie or a hairball. She she looked at it really well, and determined it was a hairball. My first hairball ever! She realized I ate string too. Thank Goodness it came up with the hairball. So she asked if I did it. Of course I'm not going to say anything! How embarrassing to tell your parent you had a hairball. So, I blamed it on the cake! Yep, I told mom how I'm not used to eating cake and the cake made me have a hairball! Mom cleaned it all up and headed back towards the bathroom. Thats when she discovered the drain to the tub. I felt so much better after my hairball incident that I went to go play in the tub. I hate that drain, it sucks up all the water I play with! So I felt the need to destroy it! Problem it, its metal and metal tastes yucky. So I pulled it out of the drain whole and just left it in the tub! Mom had to put it back this morning! HA! 

So that was my morning. Its friday!! TGIF!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright before I tell you about my morning, I wanted to let everyone know that we're okay. We had tornado warnings all evening yesterday! Everyone is a-okay! No damage whatsoever! All of my humans are okay, even the stupid dog is okay. House and cars are fine! :)  But please pray for those in Massachusetts who received most of the tornados and devistation.  C'mon everyone Purr with me... Purr Purr Purr!

Well last night I went to Gumps birthday party! It was fantastic. I had an orangie cuppycake, some regular cake. I forgot who was grilling trout burgers... Anyway, It was a fun time. Unfortunately I had to leave early because mom was getting nervous about the storms. After the party I was sleeping on my platform. Well I think the cake might of gotten to me, because I rolled over, and rolled right off of my platform which is 2 1/2 feet off the ground!  No worries I was fine. Mom was laughing though. This is why I sleep in a big human bed, I roll over and I don't fall off!!

So this morning I woke up with a cake hangover. I did eat more than usual and I wasn't really feeling myself. I was a little spazzed out. I have to ask Gump if the cake was sugar free or not. Anyway, mom went to take a shower and I followed her like I do every morning. She didn't want me in there. She tried to kick me out twice but I just kept on running back in. Finally she gave up. She put the water on and my ears went flat against my head and my eyes got real big! I think I was hallucinating from the cake! Mom got almost all the way in the shower then I attacked her foot! I didn't want her to leave me, especially in my time of need! I was hallucinating and she left me. Well I wasn't happy, I jumped onto the edge of the tub between the shower curtains and cried for mom. I cried and cried, and then started to paw at mom thru the curtain. She opened the curtain and I fell in the tub! My back feet were all wet. I just sat there. Mom couldn't rinse her hair with me in the tub, so she picked me up and put me on the bathroom floor. That is not where I wanted to be. I jumped on the tub again, and started to cry. Fell in the tub again, and my tail got all wet. I jumped out. Third time is the charm, jumped on the tub, fell AGAIN,  and my back was all wet. So I was soaked! Finally mom turned off the water and I was doing the sprinkle dance. I guess they were right when they gave Turkish Vans the nickname "The Swimming Cats"

I did not want to cuddle, I did not appreciate her laughing at me because I was all wet. I wouldn't let her touch me, or dry me off! I was mad! So mom went to get dressed and noticed I went under the bed. Next thing you now, I was attacking her feet! "Thats what you get for leaving me when I was having hallucinations from the cake!!" Mom said to me, "Hunter whatever you do, don't go in your litterbox. You'll have clumps of litter on your pattes" Alright so mom is french and she calls my paws "Pattes" (pronounced PUTTS) stupid huh? I think so. Anyway you wanna know what I did next? I marched right up to my litterbox, walked in and did a nice big Poopie!!! I had to go, and I wasn't going to hold it because she said I couldn't go in my litterbox. I covered up my poopie and walked out strutting my stuff. With little balls of litter on my paws...

That was my morning. I'm blaming it on the cake. It was good cake though. I think somecat might of put some catnip in it. Because I was feeling good this morning! :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been sleeping a lot lately. Mom isn't worried, its been really hot around here. I slept all day yesterday, got up a few times and caused some trouble but I mostly slept. Then around 9:00 last night I was up, and chasing the dog, running around the kitchen, jumping over the couch. Fun times. I slept with mom again last night and I stretched out. I gave her a mini facial. 

The babies were over on Sunday. Now the one that runs, can say "cat". So she asked mom "Auntie, Cat? Cat?" Mom said "No, Cate, you can't see the cat. Hunter is sleeping" So then the one that runs said "Ohhhh"  I was safe. Thank Goodness. I don't like it when there are a lot of people over, especially Auntie and her babies. Caitlin runs after me, she likes my poofy tail. I've been really good though and haven't hissed, swatted, or bit her... yet. Usually mom puts me in my cat tree cubby so me and Caitlin are safe!

This morning Mom went into the shower, and I got to sit and wait for her in the bathroom. Well there was this mosquito flying around. Mom could hear it, but she couldn't see it. Then when mom was done in the shower, she saw it. Then I saw it! So I jumped on the sink and starting chattering. Mom saw the mosquito and killed it. I was so upset. That is my job!

Well its another nice day outside. I'm going to sit in the picture window, maybe I'll see that kitty that looks like a cow! :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom got home yesterday, and there I was, on the sill of the picture window. That is my spot to lay in the sun. Mom didn't bother me, until she heard the buzzing sound! Then I jumped, attacked, swatted and tried to eat a... fly! Oh boy I was hunting down that fly like nobodies business! Then mom was standing on the couch with the fly swatter, and tried to get it. There was no way I was going to let her ruin my fun! So I tapped her hand a few times to get away because that fly was mine! It was huge!!! Then the fly flew into moms room! Over the couch I jumped, ran across the livingroom and into moms bedroom. I had to make sure the fly didn't go in my cat tree cubby! Then I jumped on the bed, did a backflip in the air, and then I realized, it flew back into the livingroom! I ran across the livingroom, jumped over mom and the couch, and crash! I jumped into the window (don't worry, it didn't break) and I landed on the fly! Dead! I killed it! Then I ate it. Mmmmm protein!  After that, I was exhausted! So I jumped onto the kitchen table, and then I jumped on top of the kitchen hutch. I plopped down and slept. I didn't see mom until 8:30!

THEN, mom brought the stupid dog into bed with her. I dont know why she did that. Does she not know that is my bed, and the smelly dog is in my spot??? So I jumped on Teaka a few times, and mom got mad at me. What? I was just defending my spot. Well mom fell asleep and sometime during the night Teaka left. Thank Goodness!! So I finally got to sleep next to mom in my spot. Mom woke up and I was by the window again, hoping to see another fly. I was real needy this morning, I asked to be picked up 3 times! Then mom had to go to work. At least its friday and a long weekend! YAY!! TGIF!

Motto of the day: Flies are fun!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For the past couple of days now, when mom comes home from work, her and memz have a talk about me. I swear I didn't do anything wrong! I really dont know what they talk about, but mom smiles, and laughs, and memz looks like she is copying my antics. Well I guess the story goes like this: 'Hey Kel (thats moms nickname) did you hear Hunter last night?" mom said "No." Then memz said "well let me tell you what your son did. (Memz thinks I'm moms, son. Do I look human? uhh NO!) He was crazy. He was playing with his straw, his glitter ball, running around sounded like he was playing hockey. Then he grabbed his straw and started running, jumped over the couch, jumped over ME, and ran up his cat tree, and onto the entertainment center. It sounded like a heard of elephants in this house!" At this point mom was laughing. Mom sleeps really sound at night. I get bored when its late at night and no one to play with, so I get creative and play with my straw, cap to a water bottle, my glitterballs, and my golfball which is really loud! So much fun!!

So this morning there I was looking out the slider and I was kinda mad. I was scratching at the slider wanting to go outside. I'm an indoor boy and I don't go outside at all, and normally I don't scratch the glass unless mom is outside. Well mom was inside opening my fancy feast, and normally I come running. Not today. Mom looked outside and saw a black and white kitty sitting in the backyard!! That cat should NOT be in my yard! Oh boy if Teaka was awake she would of chased that cat! The cat was stalking Chippy, the chipmunk that lives under the shed! The cat looks old and kinda mean. I just wanted to go outside and meet him/her. Mom wouldn't let me. The cat looks like a cow, black with white spots. Maybe i'll sneak out today while Pepz isn't looking.

Oh yesterday mom brushed me, boy did I look handsome! I didn't even swat at her at all! She was so proud of me. Then I went in the livingroom and strutted my stuff. My tail was all big and poofy. :)

I think I'm gonna go take a nap, so I'll be up all night playing with my toys. Sounds like a plan to me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What does it take to get some breakfast around here? Do you guys know what I do to my mom every morning? First I jump on the bed, and walk around mom, and plop down next to her and lick her face. If that doesn't work, I get up and swish my tail in her face. Then I pounce where her arms are. After that I stand on her for a few minutes so she can't breathe. Now, my new thing, is to walk on the pillow, grab her hair in my mouth and pull! She shoots right up out of bed! Its the best thing that works so far!! Usually she turns around and looks at me, and I put on the charm, and then we cuddle! 

You guys should seriously try it. She says it hurts, but I only do it once a day. I did it yesterday and this morning. So far so good! I don't even know why mom has an alarm clock. She doesn't need one, she has me!  

So Pepz brought over this great box! It had a cover on it, so I couldn't go inside. Well mom checked it out and left the cover off because she was emptying out her bathroom. (its getting painted today) Well I jumped inside the box and took a nap. It was the perfect size for me! Pepz gets the best boxes around! 

Well I gotta go. TGIF!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ... to describe how crazy my mom is! Alright so mom told me she thinks she knows what colors my kitty parents were. What? Are you crazy mom? She said no and told me to listen, not like I care, I don't even remember them anyway. So I listened, and this is what she had to say. 

She said that I have have a medium length coat. No kidding mom! That I have the allele I, which is the recessive gene for longhair! She said that both of my parents where probably short haired because the allele L is for shorthair and it is dominant, which is why all of my brothers and sisters had short hair.  So somecat way way back (or a grandcat) would of been longhaired. 

Then she told me that my cat dad was probably an Orangie. She said that because the Orange allele O, is sex linked to males. She said that she thinks my mom was a calico with white. The O allele is also mutant which covers all blacks and browns. Which is why my sisters weren't calicos, but not all orange either.

The Spotting Gene S, is dominant which actually means, I'm an Orangie boy with one really big white spot! Hahaha. That is why all of my brothers and sisters had white! I remember one brother, boy did he look funny!!! His front half was orange, and then his back half was white! He looked like someone dipped his back half in white paint! Maybe thats why I always tried to wrestle with him... hmmmm.  :)

There is also the Van gene. You know like a Turkish Van? Well the allele is Wv and may or may not be connected to the white gene. So if it is seperate, I'm not an orangie boy, I really do have the Van pattern! Hmmm its possible!

So, so sum it all up. Mom thinks that my cat dad was a short haired Orangie boy! My mom was a possible short haired calico and white kitty. That is moms conclusion! 

Ohhh and about my eyes... she found the correct term for the color or my eyes. Copper.  I think my mom is crazy. Absolutely crazy. She said she finds it... fascinating. Seriously mom, you need a cat scan. Ha! get it? Cat scan!!! 


  Anyway, on to more serious news, Teaka has 2 ear infections. The poor dog, now I can't lick her. She smells funny! Her ears are yucky looking and she taste like medicine. She had to go get shots on Monday. HA! So glad it wasn't me. Now, she is on a strict diet, and I can't eat any of her kibble. 

This momrning was fun though. I played with the monster under the covers. Oh boy, it kept on moving, and then it grabbed my paw! So I went in search for it, I went under the covers and was totally disappointed, it was only moms hand. So I left. I was disgusted. Mom said she wants to buy me a laser pointer. We had one but mom can't find it. I can't wait! More fun toys for me.

So this morning she gave me Lamb. Yes okay, I do love my lamb, but Lamb is a dinner food. I've never had lamb for breakfast, ewwww. Chicken with liver is a good breakfast food. Ugh. She is really making me mad!! 

 So because mom didn't buy me any fancy feast yesterday, AND because she kept on rolling onto MY side of the bed, I got her back. She kept on creeping over to my side and then would try to pull me next to her to cuddle. You know, I'm a mancat, and I don't cuddle, I just lay next to her. I was getting really annoyed with her being so... girly. It was time to fight back, so I bit her arms, yep both of them. Mom was in and out of sleep but she remembers trying to open my jaw to remove her arm. Does she realize I have a very strong jaw? Finally mom hid underneath the covers and I just layed there. Hunter 1, Mom 0.  Then after a little while, she did it again. This time, I got up, layed on her pillow, and started chomping on her hair and kneading her head!! She woke up after I did that, she said it hurt. Of course it did mom. I have sharp claws!! Hunter 2, Mom 0. 

Then this morning, she fed me the lamb... Hunter 2, Mom 2.  I guess we're even. She better go out and get me my fancy feast tonight, or I'm not going to be one happy boy!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom doesn't think I ate the marshmellow from yesterday. I was fine all day, Teaka was fine. So its a mystery! I'm still alive!! So mom came home from work and used her laptop to watch a movie on Netflix. Well, I snuggled up next to her and before you know it, I was on my back airing out my armpits. Yes, I have armpits. My white belly floof was in the air, and mom was inspecting me. You know, I dont have an undercoat! Mom moved my white bunny fluff and saw skin. She says my fur is like a rabbits, super soft and fine. Anyway, there I was airing out my armpits, when I started to snore. Mom doesn't get it. She said that I have so many other places to sleep, but I choose to sleep next to mom, all stretched out, snoring, airing out either my armpits or where my grapes used to be. 

Oh, so last night mom went to go clean out my box like she does everyday and noticed a mound of my litter on the carpet! So she looked at to make sure it wasn't a poopie. Then I came waltzing in, and she asked me "Hunter, did you put all this litter on the floor?" I just looked at her. I'm not stupid, I'm not going to tell her I did it. Anyway, she got the dreaded sucker thing and sucked it all up. Maybe I'll do it again today. That way she has to buy me a mat infront of my box. 

Thinking about buying me things, she opened the last can of fancy feast this morning. She better get out there and buy me more! Get crackin mom!! I'm a mancat who needs his protein and fancy feast! Hehehe Meow!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I woke up mom this morning. She actually was on time, it was a miracle! Well mom got up and walked into the livingroom and guess what she found, a half eaten Peep stuck to the carpet! You know those marshmellow chicks that are really yummy. Actually, whoever ate it, bit the head off! Then she found the box, it was empty, on the floor. Mom picked it up and looked at me, "Hunter, did you eat part of this Peep?" I just looked up at her and meowed. Well mom threw it away and tried to clean the carpet. Then mom was just talking to herself "Well, It couldn't of been Sam, he is in his cage, couldn't of been Teaka, shes sleeping, Hunter are you sure you didn't eat it? I highly doubt it was Mr. Squeakers" Yes! Thats it! Blame it on Mr. Squeakers. So I went to show mom that he did it. I found him on the floor. I pounced on him and he squeaked! Then I bunny kicked him to death! Don't worry Mom, I'll kill him for you! He is dead, on the bottom of my platform. 

Mom still doesn't know who ate the Peep. Mom read that marshmellows aren't toxic to dogs, but can't find if their toxic to cats. Anyone know? I ate my dinner last night, no problem, I was playing this morning, and was eating my breakfast when mom left for work. She isn't too concerned about it. 

I'm not telling anyone if I ate the Peep or not! Its my little secret!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I couldn't wait for her. There was no way I was going to wait 8 hours for her to get Mr. Squeakers out from under the entertainment center. Does she think I have all day to wait for her? Yea right! So, I did it myself. I crawled and crammed my bum underneath the glass shelf and found Mr. Squeakers! Then with my right paw I batted him out and onto the rug! I crawled out and my bum got stuck a little bit, so I wiggled and squirmed and finally I was free! So that was my morning. Then I hung around the house not doing much. Finally mom came home at her usual time. Thats when I started to flirt...

She was watching tv and I walked in the room. She ignored me. She was still mad at me. I looked at her, meowed and she looked at me. Then I put on the charm! My tail went up and I wiggled my butt a little bit and jumped on her! I did like 5 headbutts!! She broke down and pet me. I knew she couldn't be mad at me too long! She is such a softie. Then she ignored me again. Oh yea? Well I walked on her, blocked her view from the TV and did a major headbutt! My floof was all puffy and my bum was in her view of the tv. She pet me again, and I walked to my side of the bed and layed down. I was tired. So I stretched out, and I do mean S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D out! Then I started to snore! Mom called me a "typical guy" I was just laying there, airing out where my "grapes" used to be, snoring. I was comfy. Didn't know what the big issue was. I think mom was mad at herself because she is such a softie and can't be mad at me for too long, and because she can't learn her lesson. I was woken up by her touching my.. you guess it... my white belly floof. Ugh!

Humans, can't live with them, can't live without them!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy did I get in trouble this morning!  I woke up mom, and the first thing she smelled was Poopie!!! She said it smelled like a poopie explosion happened. So she checked my bum, all clean! We cuddled for a few minutes and then I went and layed down on my platform. Mom can't resist my white floof. She got up and rubbed my belly, and I did teeny tiny bunny kicks. Well she started to pet my head, then my eyes got black, and then WHAMO! I really bunny kicked her. She pulled her hand away, and then with her finger, she pointed at me and said "I don't like that!" Thats when I grabbed her hand and chomped down on it, and bunny kicked her arm. With moms other hand she grabbed my paws, and move her other hand away. She is slow in the morning so I grabbed her hand again, chomped down, bunny kicked her and then with her other hand she grabbed my scruff! I was NOT happy! So I bit down! Mom blew in my face and I let go. Mom left me there. I left scratches on her hand.  She said I was being a very bad boy and that she didn't want anything to do with me this morning! I didn't even get to go in the shower with mom. So I found my mouse which is now named Mr. Squeakers, and I was batting him all over the livingroom. He is now missing underneath the entertainment center. Mom didn't get him for me. :(  She cleaned my box. No poopie explosion, just regular poops that really smelled!

Once mom was all ready, I knew it was breakfast time. So I got to my food bowl and mom was putting fancy feast in it for me, although she said I didn't deserve it. I was pawing at her hand trying to make it go faster. I think she was going slow on purpose! I tried to be all nice and cute and make my cooing noises at her, didn't work. She was mad at me. She left me. Didn't give me treats, or her usual "See you later big boy" Nothing. Quiet. Silence.  Mom was really mad! I hope she isn't mad when she comes home, because I really want her to get Mr. Squeakers!!

All of this because mom can't resist my white floof!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well on Friday night, mom and I were just hanging out watching tv when mom smelled it! She said it smelled really bad and didn't know where it was coming from. So again, mom changed the sheets to her bed (it seems like mom does this at least 2 times a week!), she could still smell it. She picked me up, and the smell got really bad by the bedroom door. Mom flipped me over to make sure I didn't have poopies stuck on my floofy pants. Nope, all clean! Then she thought she found it at the time. She took away my litter box. Dumped the litter, and started to clean the box by scrubbing it outside! OMG mom was gagging. I was sitting by the slider watching what mom was doing to my box. I really had to pee!! Then she left the box outside and said that it was no good and the smell got into the plastic! It was Hannas box before, then mom cleaned it and I got to use it. Now, its just yucky.  

So mom took Teaka to the petstore. I wanted to go, but she said I couldn't. PetsMart had yucky boxes. Round ones that were very shallow. She got me more litter and went to PetCo. Mom got the biggest box they had with high walls. She came home and put the box in the middle of the room, and put my litter in it. I jumped right in! I had to pee so bad!  Mom got a little irritated with me. "Hunter, everytime I put new litter in your box you have to use it, right after I clean it, you use it." So mom cleaned my new box and I jumped right back in! Its so big it looks like a sandbox! Well Teaka wanted to see it, so I was in my new box and crouched down and was playing in it. Mom was not happy. Finally I got the hint and that my new box is not something to play with.

Yesterday, mom still took a whiff of that bad smell. Now, she doesn't know what it is! She checked my box and there was a poopie, so she cleaned it. But it still smelled really bad! Now mom doesn't know what to do. Could my litter not cover up my smells anymore? Its the same kind of litter. Nothing has changed. My food is still the same.  Mom is afraid I'm spraying, although I've never done it before. 

Memz thinks it might be the new mulch that is outside, because we've had the windows open. The window is right near my box. We've never smelled it before with the windows closed. Mom hates bad smells!!!

What do you guys think? Mom has done everything she can think of. Her next plan of action is cleaning the rug!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lately I've just been laying around the house, not doing much. Yesterday I was being really cuddly with mom. I even climbed on her so she would pet me. Well she noticed my 3rd eyelid a little bit on my left eye. I don't want to get sick! Last night mom put some Lysine in my food, and I actually ate about 75% of it. Mom was kind of proud, plus it was Lamb my favorite. Anyway, I feel so much better this morning!!! I was running to catch up with mom, and while she was getting clothes out of the dryer I jumped on her back, nuzzled up against her neck and chomped a few times on her hair. I guess mom's always know how to make us feel better! I suppose I just needed a little boost! 

I hope everyone has a good weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so lately I'm not really my crazy self. I just lay around the house, especially moms bedroom. Mom has had the windows open and I think the fresh air is making me tired! I still do cause a bit of trouble in the morning, but overall, I've been a lazy boy! Mom isn't too worried, since I still eat my food, (i'm starting to whine for my kibble) and my poopies are lookin good!  Yesterday mom brushed me. I do have to admit I did look like one sexy mancat! That was until mom gave me a belly rub this morning and ruined my fur! Oh and I found my mouse that sqeaks. Oh geez, I bunny kicked him to death this morning. Mom was getting tired of hearing it squeak so she tried to take it away. I thought to myself, "Oh no you don't!" so I bit her hand. I don't bite hard, just clamp on and then mom says "Okay Hunty, I get the hint, enjoy your mouse" then I let go. Its a great way to get what I want. Oh so yesterday it was super nice out, and mom had the window open and the fan going on. Well mom was having a bad day. So she went into the other room and I went into the bedroom. It was a couple of hours and she couldn't find me. I was laying on my back stretched out on the bed! Mom should of taken a picture, for all you ladies out there. Oh well. I don't really have anything new to report. Just hanging out waiting until mom gets home from work. Have a good day everyone!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom has been super duper lazy! She hasn't been on catster, so I haven't been able to keep in touch with my friends! That is totally unacceptable. Anyway, I guess I shouldn't be mad at mom. She has been really sick.  Anyway, things are going pretty well for me. I'm still a crazy boy! Oh I have this new thing I do with mom. She really doesn't like it all that much, but I think its fantastic!!

When mom leans over to get something off the floor, I jump on her back, get close to her neck and lay down. Then I snuggle up to her head, eat her hair, and purr purr purr. I love it. Mom doesn't like it so much. She has to try and hold me while she stands straight. Then I cling on for life! Finally mom tries to walk to my cat tree and drop me off. Oh I love it. Its so much fun! 

Oh, talk about being embarrassed. Alright so yesterday I was in my box doing my business. Mom had the TV on, then she shut the sound off using the 'mute' button. Anyway, she heard me pee. Yep when I pee, I pee loud. Mom was shocked, she said it sounded like a faucet was going off! I got out of my box and looked at her, she was smiling so I meowed. And then she said " I had to hear you pee Hunty to make sure you're not blocked. And from what I heard, that isn't happening anytime soon big boy" Ugh, she always worries about me. 

Well last night mom was feeling a little yucky. I guess she had a bad dream because she turned over and rolled ontop of me! OMG It was horrific. She quickly sat up and said "Sorry Hunty!" Does she not know to stay on her side of the bed? I was good though and didn't get mad. I was too tired to care, and just looked at her then meowed. I hope tonight she doesn't try to use me as a pillow again! Geez...

Ohhh I found a new water toy! So Mom was in the bathroom and saw a piece of clean toilet paper on the floor. She picked it up and threw it in the toilet. Then she pressed the lever and SWOOSH!!! I stood on my hind legs and watched it go down, and then started to paw at the water. Mom said "No Hunty, don't touch that water, its gross!" It was so cool to watch!!! Most of my friends know I love me some water. I love to play with it, roll around in the tub, get my tail all wet. Now I get to add the toilet to my list of water toys! 

So I'm starting not to like my fancy feast all that much. I know its a tragedy!!! I mean I do eat it eventually, but its not so much my favorite anymore. Mom just went and bought me a whole bunch on friday too!! I think mom is going to have to try a different food and see how I like it. Oh and thinking about food. Mom went and got me my really good food on friday too, and the lady at the counter said "Your cat is so odd, he eats all different kinds of foods with different flavors"  Then she said the kinds of foods I like "Buffalo, Rabbit, Beef, and lamb" Mom doesn't think its odd. I am doing really well on my variety of food. I think more cats should try it. Especially Lamb. Oh that is my favorite!  

Anyway, I hope mom is going to be better about coming on catster so I can keep in touch with my friends. I hope everyone had a good Easter.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay, first let me tell you how they got into the house. I was out of treats for a few days. It was traumatic! So friday night, mom went out and bought me 3 bags of temptation treats! Yummy! I got seafood medley, chicken and beef! Mmmm. Everytime mom buys me treats she puts them in the cabinet. Yesterday she took them out and gave me some because I was a good boy. Well she forgot to put them away. Last night mom kept on hearing a noise like someone was inside the bag of chips! I've never liked chips so she wasn't too worried. She kept on hearing the noise, over and over again.  Finally she woke up and there I was on the baby seat munching down on the bag of treats! I dragged it off of the counter, and onto the baby seat. I tore the bag open and was chowing down. Mom took the bag away and then noticed I had plastic in my mouth! It was stuck in my toothies!!! Mom pulled it out and I was all better. She wasn't mad at me at all!!! I like when mom forgets to put my treats away. I had a good time!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm tired of people calling me big, fat, giant, huge etc. I'm not that big here folks!!!! I'm just poofy!!! Mom measured my tail fur, and its 4 inches long. See, lots of poof! Moms aunt and uncle came over the other day, and I walked by, you know strutting my stuff, and both of them say "Whoa he's huge!" its starting to give me a complex. Mom calls me big boy, but thats okay, cuz its my nickname, but they said it like it was a bad thing! I'm not even 10 pounds yet! So I don't know why they say those things, hurts my feelings a bit. Everyone who comes in and sees me, says things like "OMG giant cat" or "Hes so big" "Hes huge!" I think its starting to bother mom too. Maybe its because I'm white and my tail is really poofy? No wonder I hide when we have company. Now mom understands.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so I was on the counter, and I'm not supposed to be. Mom came and tried to get me and I turned around. Well mom has one of those Lysol automatic soap dispensers. My tail got under it, and soap was on my lovely floofy tail!!! Mom tried to get it out with water. Stupid idea. Then I had suds on my tail!! Mom was working fast making sure I didn't lick it. She got more water and then, more suds!!  So I was being a really good boy, and she told me to get on my platform, she was going to try to brush it out. Nope, not working. Then, she brought me to the bathroom and shut the door. She had a cup, a towel, a brush, and the blow dryer. Now I've seen the blow dryer, but mom has never used it on me. Mom put water in the cup, and put the tip of my tail in it, trying to get out the soap. I was doing so well!!! Mom is super duper proud of me. She washed the tip of my tail 3 times!! She even squeezed out the water. Finally when she didn't see any more suds, she brushed my tail. Then she showed me the blow dryer and what it does. It was a tiny bit scared at first, and my eyes got big and black. Mom kept on saying "good boy Hunter", "thats my good boy" and then she put the air on me! It was so nice and warm, I just sat there. Then mom did an experiment, and put the blow dryer all over me, up, down, in my face. I didn't try to run away, I actually enjoyed it!  Mom said I would be a great show kitty!!! So mom was finished, I was getting antsy, and wanted out of the bathroom. Mom checked out my tail and it was just damp, no suds, so I was let out of the bathroom. I darted for moms room and had to groom my poor tail.  

Mom laughed at me, to the point where she couldn't breathe. Just wait until tonight, I'm gonna get her while she sleeps!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so mom doesn't know how I became a DDP today when mom hasn't been updating my diary that much. She is gonna get it later on for that! Thank you Diary Gal! Mom has been super busy and got in trouble at work for being on catster, so shes trying to stay away from it. Plus, mom is starting to find it boring. It was good when I was a kitten and mom had all these questions, now each day is the same as the last, no questions. Mom just wishes I would eat more. I've been crazy. I attacked moms hair this morning. So she said "Oh, you wanna play that game huh wiseguy??" so she attacked my face and I bit her hand. It was a fun time! I love mom, except when she calls me a dog. Like this morning, she called me a dog because I follow her everywhere. Well I gotta go, don't wanna get mom in trouble again! Thanks for my DDP!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so it could be mom, she has bad eyes, or it could be her work computer. It was okay yesterday. Ahhhh... cats names are all screwed up. Well no, its not everycat, for some reason its only Newman and his family.  So I saw Newmans picture, but then it wasn't his name on top, it was Inky. Then Vivien name was above the picture of Samoa, and Samoas name was above the picture of Vivien. THEN Gleek's name was above Violets picture and Violets name was above Gleeks picture. SO confused. I think they did this on purpose to confuse us. 

Does anyone else see it?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...the bathroom!!! The past couple of days mom has woken up to me being in the bathroom. Yesterday I was on the counter checking myself out in the mirror. Today, I was in the tub rolling around, exposing my belly and being a silly boy! Mom tried to get me out of the tub, but I saw her arm, and then... I attacked!!! Mom got mad. She shut the light off, and left me there. Then I zoomed out into the living room. Oh boy did I have the zoomies this morning!!  

Yesterday mom and memz both got coffees from Dunkin Donuts. They have the best straws in town! So I sat right next to mom, as close as I could get, and stared at it. I kept on tilting my head trying to figure out how to get it. I started to paw at it, and mom said "Wait Hunter, you can have it when I'm finished." Well I guess memz felt bad for me, so she gave me her straw! Fun times, let me tell ya. Those big orange straws are the best!!  

Mom is still really busy at work, so I appologize if I have missed anyone's DDP, COTD, COTW, DOTD, Birthdays, Bridge anniversaries etc. Hopefully next week will be back to normal.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was a pretty crappy weekend for me. I was locked up almost all weekend. Okay so auntie came over with her family, no I didn't get to babysit because she brought 3 dogs with her! Ahhhh!!! I was locked up all afternoon on Saturday. I was a super good boy though. I spent the afternoon snoozing on my cat tree. Then, on Sunday, Pepz was painting the kitchen ceiling. He had this "drop cloth" on my kitchen hutch. My favorite place to sleep. I kept on climbing it and he kept on saying " No, cat!" My name isn't Cat. How degrading! So he picked me up, he is afraid of me for some reason, and brought me to mom. Mom asked him why does he pick me up like that, pepz said 'Because he is going to claw and bite me" So mom came and got me, and shut the bedroom door. Thats when the bad behavior started. I wanted out of that room. I climbed on everything. Mom was getting mad! She kept on saying " Hunter, down!" and pointed to the floor. It only works if she is standing up. So mom kept on getting up every 5 minutes or so. I was being really really bad. Finally she had enough. It was cold out but she opened the window anyway, and there I layed, by the window listening for those birds!!! I love it when mom opens the window. 

Last night I slept with mom again, like usual and she woke up to a mouth full of fur, again. She kept on moving me to my side of the bed when I just wanted to stretch out. I need to find a new way of training her. She isn't responding to my methods. Maybe I'll clicker train mom. HA! that would be funny. Anyway I was being super lovey dovey this morning and I even went in the tub after mom was done her shower. I love me some water. Ohhhh thinking about water, you won't believe what I did! It was friday night and I dumped a whole gallon of water onto Memz carpet. Oh boy was she mad!!! I LOVE those water jugs. Fun times. Mom has an empty one she is going to let me play with. Anyway, yea this morning I was being a good boy. I got some fancy feast for breakfast and things have been great. Mom is coming home soon... YAY!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well the vet was wrong. I didn't sleep, have shoulder pain, or sneeze at all. I guess I'm all grown up now! My SturdiBag carrier was great. Although it was a little big to buckle up in the car. Mom was glad she got the x-large size. Well lets see, nothing new going on here. Mom has been super busy at work, training a new employee. I've been rather good. Until yesterday when I bit mom because she wouldn't leave me alone. Then this morning she kept on petting me so I clawed her arm. She doesn't know when to leave me alone!! I give her all these signs and she just doesn't get it. I don't eat a lot these days. Of course I eat all my fancy feast, and then I only eat half of the good stuff at night, unless its lamb. Mmmmm boy do I love me some lamb! 

So this morning mom woke up to a mouth of my fur, again. Somehow during the night mom thinks I'm a pillow. Okay, so I'm white like one, and I'm soft like one, but in reality I'm not a pillow. I don't mind it, but in the morning mom is a super duper cuddler, and always wants me to lay down with her. Does she not know that its breakfast time? I have to tell her every morning. Its getting a little old now. I thought I had her trained pretty well. She is stubborn and wants things her way. Anyway, I gotta go, the weather is getting nicer and there are all these great birds to watch in the window!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well mom came home from work and brought out my carrier. I had no problems and went right in, then mom got some food for herself and I got out of my carrier. I was sniffing it all around. Then, mom got out my Zoom Groom and said that I needed to look handsome for the ladies there. I got all shiny looking. Mom then got me some treats. Mmmmm so yummy!  She put one in my carrier and I went in to get it. You won't believe what she did to me. She locked me in! Well technically she zipped me in!  

She put me in the car. Oh boy I yeowled in what mom calls my pathetic voice. She felt bad. It was scary!! Well we got to the vet and the lady at the desk said, "This must be Hunter" I meowed. She showed us the room and said that she needed to weigh me. Well I didn't want to get out of the carrier!!! Mom had to help me out a bit. I was scared. They put me on this white box thing and I weigh 9lb 13oz. Mom was shocked. I'm almost a 10 pounder!  The tech lady said that I was beautiful and very handsome. Then the vet lady came in. She was super nice! And she didn't even stick anything up my bum!! She checked my teeth said they are looking good, eyes, nose, ears. Then she felt my belly and said everything looked great! Mom asked the vet if she thought that I was a little on the large size, meaning physical stature. The vet lady said I'm between a medium and large size kitty, and that was okay. I'm a great size to be!

Mom asked the vet if I am underweight. She said no and that I'm ideal! The vet lady said that if I were to lose weight down to 8.5 pounds then I'd be too skinny, and if I were to gain weight to about 11.5 I'd be too fat. I'm just right!  Mom also mentioned how I don't eat all that much. The vet lady said that I'm probably a "self regulator" and she explained to mom that I'm the type of cat that will only eat what I need.  Pretty cool huh?  The vet lady said that my coat was beautiful and that I must loved to be brushed. Oh boy she got that wrong. I hate when mom brushes me, I try to attack!  

So then the tech lady came back in with... the shot! She tried to butter me up. The tech and vet ladies where talking to each other about how handsome I was, and how my markings were gorgeous. Then the tech lady held me and the vet lady gave me a shot! I was a good boy and didn't flinch at all!!!!  Then the vet lady stuck some drops up my nose. Yuck!!  Mom was really proud of me! The vet lady said that my check up couldn't of gone any better and I'm all clear until next year!!! She said don't be surprised if I want to sleep a lot today, if my shoulder hurts me a little, and if I sneeze a little bit. Yea well she doesn't know me that well. I've been walking around the house like nothing is wrong, not sleeping, grooming myself, not sneezing, eating, and now I'm trying to attack birds through the window! I'm doing great!  The ladies at the vet love me. They all say I'm handsome and that I'm a ladies man.  *blush*  

I did it, I made it out of the vets alive. I can't believe mom brought me there. She is gonna get it later on.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so its happening after mom comes home from work, my V.E.T visit. We practiced last night, me going into my carrier, walking back out, going for a little stroll, walking out of the carrier. I did a pretty good job. I'm a little nervous though. Mom said they are really nice at the V.E.T. She said I have to get brushed before we go so I can show off my floof. I'll tell you guys all about it tomorrow.  I have to go hide now. Maybe mom won't be able to find me and have to cancel.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am a DDP today. I'm pretty excited. Although mom isn't really that excited. She still needs to get away from catster. Its okay. The next couple of weeks she has a LOT of things going on at work, so honestly I don't know if I'll be able to write in my diary. Mom hurt her back so shes been really grumpy. Anyway, I just wanted to say Thank You to my friend who congratulated me on my DDP.  Guess catster doesn't want me to stay away...

Have a good weekend,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom doesn't know what to say. She told me she might take a week or so away from Catster. Its entirely too sad lately. When mom heard about Hazel Lucy going to the bridge mom got really upset. Actually it was the first time she got upset over a fellow catster going to the bridge. Hazel Lucy was one of my first friends here on Catster. I always thought she was wise beyond her years. I think secretly she though I was crazy and insane, but I think everyone did at first, with my crazy antics. I guess deep down inside I thought she would be here on catster forever. My mom is really sad.  I really didn't know Hazel Lucy that well, but I did read her diary from time to time. She seemed to be very elegant, regal, with a hint of spice and humor. I'm honored to be a friend of the Queen of Catster. 

Yesterday when mom got home she gave me a big squeeze. I thought my eyes were going to bulge out of my head!! She is very thankful that I'm happy and healthy. Then this morning when we woke up, I was on my side of the bed all stretched out with my belly exposed. Mom rubbed my belly and told me she loved me and that I'm her Big Boy. Mom was a little sad this morning too. Its hard not to take everything for granted when life around you flies by! Mom and I think its a good idea to take a moment every once in a while and appreciate everything we have. 

When mom signed me up for Catster she thought it was a place to be happy and talk about each other. She never thought it would almost dwell on sick kitties. Thats not what mom wants to hear. So like I said, Mom and I are going to give catster a break for a little while. 

Purring for Hazel Lucy & Family. 

Purring for all the sick kitties out there. 


We hope everyone has a Happy St. Patricks Day!

Purrz & salty tears,
Hunter and mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so I was sleeping in my bed. I was being nice enough to let mom sleep in my bed too. Well she kept on rolling over. I'm a big boy and I need to stretch out. So I kept pushing mom away with my back feet. Ugh she wouldn't move over! I think I got her mad because she sat up, and said "alright Hunter this is MY bed and I'm not going to be scrunched against the wall so you can have the entire bed. Sorry buddy, not happening." First of all my name is NOT Buddy, and mom told me once she likes it when I snuggle. Although technically we weren't snuggling. I was stretching and moving mom away from me. 

Well she got mad, and moved my legs and tail to "my side" of the bed. Oh yea?!?! You wanna play that game mom? Okay. So then I got mad and got up, turned around and put my bum in her face and swished my tail a few times. How do you like that?!?!?!  Well she got mad. Flew the covers off of her like a maniac, and realized I took the fitted sheet off the bed again. She got up and I got off the bed. The took all the sheets off the bed, and put new ones on... at 3:30 in the morning!!!!! I think my mom is crazy. So I helped her put new sheets on the bed. Well I didn't really help, I just directed her where to put them.  Then I layed down smack dab in the middle of MY bed! She put all the blankets back on, finally mom went back to bed. I had enough of her! I went and slept on my cat tree. 

Mom woke up late for work, and when she woke up, there I was on MY side of the bed.  

Mom drives me crazy sometimes. We have a love/hate relationship. Its a work in progress!!  

Don't ever let your human take over your bed. Sometimes they get down right mean!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so mom has been lazy in updating my diary. Thank you all for my Gotcha day presents. Mom is just kinda "blah" lately. She is really missing the spring/summer. I miss the windows being open! Anyway so I was reading Newmans diary and he suggested everyone change their names for St. Patty's Day!  I decided to follow the trend. So my name is:

Hunter O'Ceallaigh McFluffyButt.  

O'Ceallaigh is moms name in Irish. Pretty cool huh? Moms name is irish anyway. Although we aren't irish at all. I'm part Turkish and maybe a Coonie, but an Irish name is pretty fun to have for a bit! Mom said that her family is a bunch of frogs! Loud frogs! 

Anyway, gotta go. Mom has lots of work to do and has a lot on her mind. Hope everyone has a good day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, even before mom came home from work, Auntie came over with Cate and the new baby. Oh boy was I nervous! First official day on the job. It wasn't easy though. I had to keep on moving because Cate kept on chasing after me saying "Ohhh Dat? Dat?" Then I had to inspect the new baby. So the baby was sitting in her seat on the couch next to auntie. I jumped up and sniffed her for a bit. Didn't smell bad, kinda smelled like rabbit with a hint of duck sauce. So I proceeded to go on the seat so I could baby sit. Well Auntie took me off and put me on the floor. I didn't understand. I was told I could sit on the new baby!!! Auntie told me I had to wait until she was a little bit older. It looks like I'll never be able to sit on the baby!!! :(  

So then Teaka started barking. I think she was jealous that I got to sniff the new baby and she didn't. Its kinda funny because Cate doesn't like Teaka. She keeps on saying "Dog, No! No!" makes me laugh.  I was getting a little stressed out because I was getting chased, Teaka was barking, Mom was playing "twirly Whirly" with Cate and spinning her everywhere. It was a crazy house! So mom felt bad and didn't want me to freak out so she put me in the bedroom for a little while. Fine by me! I got the whole bed to myself. Ahhhhh It was nice and peaceful. 

This morning I've been really bad!!! Jumped on the tv in moms room, jumped on the livingroom tv. Spilled Memz pills. I've been everywhere. I guess thats what happens when you've been good all week long. The Zoomies need to come out sometime!!  

Have a good weekend everyone!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom came home from work yesterday and decided to make herself some pizza. Well she got the sauce and then went into the fridgerator to get the cheese and she accidentally knocked over a container of duck sauce. Now I was really curious because it was pink. Never saw pink food before. Mom said "Watch out Hunty, I need to clean up the duck sauce." Okay so I know what a duck is, I've seen them on tv sometimes. But that pink stuff didn't look like a duck to me. Then I remembered when mom gave me duck flavored food. I didn't like it. So I took a lick of the duck sauce. Didn't taste like duck. I don't know why they call it duck sauce. Maybe they should name it bird sauce, or maybe just pink sauce.  

So I guess what they say is right. Kitties calm down as they get older. Mom is very happy with me lately. I've been a very good boy, haven't done anything bad. Well I did try to kill the bird yesterday, but it was moms fault! Mom called me up onto the cart next to Sam the bird. Sam likes mom so he went to say hello, and I was right there fighting for moms attention. Sam got really close to moms nose and I thought he was going to bite her! So I attacked him with my claws. Mom got mad kinda "Hunty, you be nice to Sam!" I didn't hurt the stupid bird, just scared him. Geez, its kinda sad when you have to fight for attention with a stupid bird. 

Hey, maybe I can kill Sam and make bird sauce out of him!  What a great idea...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lately I've been a good boy, honest! I haven't been in time out in a long long time! Anyway, I was laying down with mom and she noticed my floofy pants were *ahem* dirty. So then she noticed the begining of a... MAT! Mom tried to brush it out but I don't like it when people touch me "down there". So I got mad. Well before I had the chance to get away, mom scooped me up and asked Memz to give me a little trim. She tried to find the mat, but it disappeared!! I was off the hook.. phew!  So mom brushed me from head to toe, I did try to swat her a few times but she is quick and I missed. 

My Floofy pants are especially long, and all white! If they're dirty you can tell and mom finds that gross. Mom was thinking of trimming my beautiful white floofy pants. What do you guys think? Of course she would have the vet do it, because mom knows I'd never stay still enough for her to do it. Would it grow back?  How does mom keep my floofy pants clean?? My poopies are normal, but I have a lot of fur down there, and sometimes things get stuck.  Any suggestions?

Also my mom has noticed that my fur is getting longer all over!! Is that normal? Especially on my tail. I run and it almost flows in the wind. Hmmm more questions to ask the vet. 

Oh, I almost killed the bird yesterday. I think my buddy Da Tabbies O Trout Towne would like that. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so it was Wednesday night and mom and I were sleeping. I was cuddled up against her face like always, and memz woke us up! She said that Auntie is getting ready to have her baby! So mom got up, got dressed and left me! Mom went and got baby Cate from the hospital and brought her home while auntie had her human baby. Mom didn't come home until friday night! While mom was gone, I didn't want to be alone so I hijacked Memz bed as my own! Its been a struggle this past weekend, I'm so confused. Now I'm not allowed in Memz room and Mom keeps on picking me up to sleep with her. Anyway, mom came home in a different big black contraption she calls a car. She said she got a different one, a bigger, newer one so I can actually fit in the car with my carrier. I'm pretty excited to go in it. Mom said it has heated seats so my tush can be nice and warm. 

I also got a new job this weekend. I'm allowed to babysit the new baby, when I get to see her. Mom said that she is too young to start crawling or moving around so I'll be able to sit on her! I'm pretty excited. I know I'll make a great babysitter!!

So Saturday Memz mentioned to mom that I'm losing weight a tiny bit. Mom said "yea, thats because the little squirt refuses to eat anything now but fancy feast!" So, she went to the pet store and bought me a whole bunch of it! Mmmmm Its so yummy!!! I haven't had Fancy Feast in such a long time. 

It was a crazy week! Now I hope things are back to normal.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So lately, I've been a pretty good boy. Shocking isn't it? I've been super clingy. I've been laying down with mom a lot while she watches tv. I have to lay on a certain spot on her bed. If mom is in my spot I'll just wander around looking lost. Then mom moves, and I plop down in my spot. Its great. I've been watching tv a lot too. I walk up as close as I can get, and then I lay down watching tv. This weekend mom and I watched the Puppy Bowl on animal planet. My favorite part was half time. That was the kitty show! Those kittens got nothing on me! I could of shown them how its done! 

I'm a little irritated at mom lately, she hasn't bought me any more fancy Feast. She keeps on giving me the good stuff and expects me to eat it. So i'm on strike. I only eat half of my food! Then yesterday she noticed I looked squinty. Like my eyes were watery. So last night she put Lysine in my food and this morning my eyes were so much better! Mom still thinks I'm too skinny. Before she was paranoid that I'd get overweight. Now she feels that I don't have the muscular definition I should. Good luck trying to get me to eat mom, all it takes is two words... FANCY FEAST!! Oh and then she has noticed that my floofy pants are getting longer!!  Ohy, she drives me crazy sometimes. 

I think I'm gonna go fishing today, looks like a nice day to grab some fish out of the tank.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my Goodness!!! How exciting is this?!?! I'm Cat of the Day! Thank you Catster for picking me!!! Mom was super excited this morning when she got the email. 

I, on the other hand, had a very bad morning. Well you see, I got so excited that I was COTD, that I had to do a poopie. So I was in my box doing my business, and then I ran out. I started to drag my bum on the carpet. Mom came to see what was the matter, a poopie was stuck on my beautiful white floofy pants!!! A whole poopie too! So mom tried to clean it, then I cleaned it and mom watched me eat some poopie! She tried to get it out of my mouth, it was gone. Ewwwww, tasted bad too. Guys, don't ever eat a poopie! So then she got a good portion of it off, and then I ran to her bedroom. I threw up, twice! I thought mom was going to get mad at me, but she wasn't at all. She said it wasn't my fault. She picked it up and I went into my box to pee. She was glad that I wasn't afraid of my box. She tried to clean the rest of the poopie off my bum but I wouldn't stop moving. I scratched moms hand because she wouldn't leave my bum alone. So, mom had to wrap me up in a towel while Memz cleaned my bum. You won't believe what Memz did... She cut off some of my floofy pants! Now I have a draft!! Mom tried to brush my tail and my floof, but I wouldn't have it! I was mad, did my huffing noise and layed down. What a morning! I still tried to go to work with mom though, she wouldn't let me. I'm not mad at mom, I know she was just trying to keep me clean. I did get extra treats today though. I'm tired. I'm gonna go lay down, don't feel so good. 

Again, Thank you Catster for making me Cat of the Day! 

Purrz & poopie Licks,
Hunter

P.S Don't ever eat poopie, it makes you throw up!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Note from Mom:  
It wasn't until last night that I remembered what happened a year ago. I had to put my Hanna down. She is now playing and looking down on me and Hunter from the bridge. I think about her and I want to cry. Has anyone ever had a pet that meant the world to them? That was Hanna to me. She was like a teddy bear, I cried on her, hugged her, celebrated with her. I cried for weeks before she went to the bridge and I cried for weeks after. I guess what I learned from her situation before she died, was to never trust your vet. I know that sounds horrible. Always get a 2nd opinion. My previous vet told me she was fine. On 3 seperate occasions!! You know when you have that gut feeling something is wrong? I had that, for 2 weeks I had that feeling and was reassured that she was fine. She was NOT fine! You can read Hannas story on her page. (don't know how to insert links) Anyway I thought getting another cat would make me feel better, you know, fill the void. He has, and he hasn't at the same time. Stupid me, thought that he would be just like Hanna. Oh boy was I wrong. He is so different. I still have that void though, the "Hanna void" I call it. I'm not saying I don't love Hunter. I do, I'd do anything for him. Its just not the same. And I think next time around, I'm going to give myself time to heal. The good thing about Hunter is he keeps me busy. I think I need that. The one attribute that they both have is they're dog-like. Hunter will follow me around the house, for no reason at all, just to follow me. Hanna did the same thing. Wherever I walk, there is a cat behind me. Also Hunter is pretty much a one person cat. Hanna was the same way. Hanna would sleep with me, against my side. Hunter on the other hand, sleeps with me, against my face! They're similar but different. I'm glad to have them both in my life. 

I want to thank Hunters new friends River and Simone, for the heart you guys left on Hannas page. It meant a lot to me knowing that new friends were kind enough to take 5 minute out of their day to remember an angel.

Hunters mom

"Can I have my diary now mom? Please...." Ugh geez, she gets all sappy and her eyes are all watery. So I did it again. I crammed my little bum under the bureau. But this time mom didn't come to get me. She noticed I was under there after I licked her fingers. She just left me there!! I got out on my own though, somehow. Mom has no idea. So mom was making dinner and she found my green glitterball. Oh boy! She kept on throwing it and I would chase it, wiggle my bum and POUNCE! Dead! I killed it!!! We played for a while. I went and took a nap and after a while mom went to bed. Well, I woke up and decided to lay next to mom, right next to her face. She breathed in and started to cough, she got a mouth full of fur! HA! Mom got a hairball... It was funny. I looked back and meowed. It was a great time. I was being a good boy.  Although mom is starting to think i'm part feral. It didn't say that when I got adopted, but hey, ya never know. Gotta run, time to groom Teaka before she gets her haircut...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well this morning mom locked me out of the bathroom. That is just forbidden. So I cried, and started to paw at the door. She opened it and I was laying on the floor, with my belly exposed. So she rubbed my belly, then I started to get fiesty. I bit her arm, grabbed it with my two front legs and bunny kicked her!!! She was NOT happy! So she grabbed me, picked me up and I was still biting. She brought me to the couch and we had the "biting discussion." Oh geez I got in trouble. She said that "biting is unacceptable, and that its not nice. How would I like it if mom bit me?" Then I started to get sad. I didn't mean to do it. So I gave mom some licks and she put me down. Instead of getting my yummy fancy feast today, I got rabbit because I was bad! Don't let your parents give you the biting discussion, you won't get the good food for breakfast. 

Motto of the day: Stop biting, or you won't get any fancy feast.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom neglected me all weekend! She said she had things to do. Um what about me? Hello!!! Friday, her and Memz didn't get home until 10:30pm!! AND to top it all off, Pepz accidentally locked me in the bedroom for 4 hours!!!! Mom came home and I was yeowling to get out! OMG It was horrible. I was traumatized!!!!!! I was so scared that every little noise bothered me. I was running everywhere because I was so scared. Mom had to hold me for a little bit. Ahhhh Friday was a bad night!!  

So on Saturday mom left me... AGAIN! And this is the worst part, she didn't come home until YESTERDAY!! I don't know what mom was thinking. AND Memz forgot to feed me yesterday morning. So you know what I did? I hid. yep I did, only problem was I crammed myself into such a tiny spot, I couldn't get out.  Well when mom got home yesterday she was looking for me. She looked EVERYWHERE. she was starting to panic and even looked outside. Then she got out my treats and shaking the bag. I always come out when she does that, but not this time. So mom figured I was sick and hiding underneath the bed. She look and called me, and I meowed a teeny tiny bit. I wasn't under the bed though. Mom called me again, and I did my tiny meow. Then she looked around and saw my nose... under the bureau!!! She put her fingers under there and I licked her, and rubbed my face on her fingers. She pulled her hand out and I didn't want her to leave me!!!!!! I tried to get her hands. :(  So she tried as best as she could to lift the bureau, its super heavy. Well I got out but was still stuck behind it. Mom grabbed my front legs and pulled me up. I was sooooooo hungry! I ran to my food bowl, and mom put some fancy feast down for me. Mmmmm FOOD!!

It was a super duper bad weekend for me! I hope mom never leaves me again! Memz and Pepz didn't even know I wasn't around! Thank Goodness mom saved me! Mom made sure I had food this morning, and that I wasn't locked in any rooms and made sure I was feeling okay before she left for work. 

I need to go lay down. What a weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I noticed that mom hasn't been to happy with me lately. I decided to make her smile. Well when she came home yesterday I ran to the door and did my little cooing noise and looked up and was so happy to see mom!! She was shocked and said " Oh Hi Hunty! C'mon big boy..." so I followed her to the bedroom and she took off her jacket. I jumped on my platform and I wanted to cuddle. Mom patted her shoulder and I jumped up. We cuddled. I gave her a forehead facial! She needed one! She put me down and I just wanted to be with her. We went into the livingroom and played for a little bit, then mom noticed that I was hungry, so she gave me some fancy feast, and that was it! I was out for the night. I slept on the couch all evening. Mom was so happy that I wasn't being bad. She relaxed, was laughing, wasn't stressed. 

This morning mom woke up and I was laying next to her. Then I jumped down and started meowing in the livingroom. I wanted mom to get up!! She wasn't mad that I was meowing, it was time for her to wake up anyway. She got up, and I was bored. So I crawled underneath the bed. Then mom got up and I came out and jumped onto the bed and layed down in moms spot. I love it, its so warm. Anyway mom went into the shower and I tried to find my glitterball. Couldn't find it. Then mom gave me a new one! Its blue. Oh its so pretty. I brought it into the kitchen. Now there are 4 glitterballs somewhere in the house. Mom gave me new food today. Its Grammy's Pot Pie by Merrick. Mom isn't too sure I'd like it, so she gave me some kibble just incase. 

I really was being good last night and this morning. Mom hopes it lasts for a long long time. :)  I doubt it. Hehehehee

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was mad at me last night. She said she is at her wits end. What is a wit and why does it have an end? I don't know. Anyway, it was 6:30 or so and I woke up from my nap. I had to find mom and sit infront of her. We didn't cuddle. I wanted to eat. But it wasn't dinner time yet, so I decided to be bad. I jumped on top of the pantry in the kitchen. Mom said "Get down!" and she pointed to the couch. I didn't want to. Mom reached up and I swatted her hand, then she pulled me off. She put boxes up on the pantry so I wouldn't jump up there. Yea right! I jumped up there anyway. Then mom got really mad. Her eyes got really big like mine get when I get the crazies. Then she said "Hunter, get down now!" One of the boxes fell and I got scared so I jumped onto the couch. Mom left her blanket on the floor by accident and I ran on it and started rolling around. Then I found this big bead thats from the curtains. I was rolling it around the livingroom and I hit it, and it ended up underneath the tv!! So mom thought she would be nice and see if she could get it for me. I wasn't even looking for it, that is her job! Well mom got mad and said that if I wasn't looking for it, then why should she? She never got it for me. :(

So I sat on the back of the couch and stared out the window, then I made up this pretend game of jumping up and down on the couch. I would jump down onto the window frame, then jump back up on the couch. Oh it was fun! I was making a lot of noise though. Everytime I would jump down, my bum would hit the window. Kabom! Crash! Thud! Mom was really irritated and finally gave in. DINNER TIME!!!!!!!!!  It was Rabbit, not my favorite. I ate some though and she gave me a tiny bit of kibble. Mmmmm Food.....  After I ate, I layed down on the couch next to mom and washed my face. Then the next thing mom knew, I was snoring on the couch. Yes, I snore... a little bit. :) 

Sometimes mom doesn't know why I do the things I do. Why I'm bad. I've been sprayed with water, but that doesn't bother me. Mom tried hissing, I could care less. Mom doens't know what to do sometimes!!! 

Then this morning I was bad again! Every morning I meow constantly for maybe an hour and a half. Mom doesn't know what to do! She said I'm loud, really loud. I don't stop unless mom gets up. Sometimes she gets upset because she doesn't know whats wrong with me or what I want. Mom said that is one very important question to ask the vet when mom makes my appointment. Anyway, I gotta go. I'm either going to find my glitterball, kill the bird, or attack Teaka. Decisions, decisions...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know why mom said that, but she told me today that I would be good in gymnastics, whatever that is. I'm also starting to think my name is Crazy. Mom calls me that all the time. So I'm a bit hyper, its not a bad thing. I definately keep mom on her toes, literally. Sometimes I walk infront of her and then just stop and sit. Its great, cuz then mom ends up on her toes and has to step over me. I don't lick mom as much as I used to. I want to run and jump all the time!! Oh and I killed moms plant last night. She was a little mad, she got it has a gift and found it detached from the pot... I'm more active now, than I was as a kitten. When I was little I slept a lot. Now, I sleep during the day and I am up all night and into the morning. Sometimes she thinks I need kitty ritalin. I'm a fiesty boy! Mom is so glad she doesn't have any human kids... I don't think she could handle it!  hehehe

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom came home with 5 different glitterballs for me!!! Oh boy I was so excited. She threw one down on the floor and off I went. Its a gold one. Mom said they were Valentines pressies, since I can't have Chocolate. All night I was running up and down the hall attacking my new glitterball. Mom woke up this morning and I couldn't find it! Its lost! I was meowing and being needy, trying to get mom to look for it. She looked a couple of places and said "I'll look for it when I get home Hunty."  Do you know how long it is until mom gets home??? I have to wait until 3:30. Thats... 8 hours! Well I found other cool things to do while shes gone. 

This morning I jumped into the tub and started rolling around. Then mom turned on the water. I watched it go down the drain. It was a good time. Mom went to clean my litterbox. I ran up my cat tree across the top of the entertainment center to watch her. I ran back towards my cat tree, mom said "What are you doing Hunty? my eyes went black, I flipped over and meowed and tried to swat her as she went into the kitchen. Missed! I'll get her next time. So then I ran down my cat tree, bolted across the livingroom, jumped over the couch and ran right infront of mom. Then we unlocked the door together like we do every morning.  I always try to go to work with mom. She never lets me though. I think I would do a good job. Everyone at work likes cats. I would have this huge hallway to chase my glitterball... if I could find it! 

So mom changed my page last night. Yep I'm all ready for St. Patricks Day! Too bad mom isn't Irish at all! Hehehe she did say that I look a tad bit Irish, and mom has been to Ireland. She loved it. She would go again! Mom finally figured out how to do a banner. Problem is, she erased all of the code on my page last night and had to do the whole thing over. Now, she can't get the background to change on my gift box. She tried so many times. I think she finally got sick of it and gave up. I looked at my page this morning, wasn't all that bad. Its very green though, knowing mom she'll change it again!

Gotta go, I need to find my Glitterball... I hope Teaka didn't steal it. Ohhh I'll get her for that!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Morning, since my mom is really sick, she told me I had to make my diary entry, short and sweet.  Well I didn't get the courage to ask a special lady friend to be my Valentine, thats okay. She got a Valentine anyway. I spent my weekend in bed with mom. I cuddled with her last night. Just a tiny bit though. I've been a pretty good boy lately. Anyway, just wanted to say a Happy Valentines Day to all of my friends. Hope its a good one!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well last night after mom put my carrier together. I helped her make a couple of Valentine Day cards for moms niece. I didn't technically help, I just layed up top of the computer desk in my basket. Then mom did some computer work and I took a nap. Very uneventful night. Mom went to bed and I woke her up at 4:00am meowing. Mom has yet to figure out why I do this. I'm just bored. So she was sitting up in bed and called me. I came running and jumped on the bed. I sat next to her and pawed her arm. "I'm here mom, what can I do for you?" Yea well she thought I wanted to cuddle. She always thinks I want to cuddle. Ummm wrong! But I gave into it anyway. Then I ran across the room and into my box. Did you see my new box? Mom took a picture of me in it this morning. I was pretty sleepy. She put it up on my page. Check it out! She put two other pictures of me too. They're from yesterday. I don't like the flashy thing that happens when she takes pictures. Oh well...

Mom was getting ready to leave for work and she was doing this round sticky thing on her clothes. She called it a lint roller. Have you guys seen one of those? Well let me tell ya, its wicked cool!!!! I was done playing with my glitterball, and I walked over to mom looking all cute, you know strutting my stuff and I meowed. "Mom, whatcha got there?" So mom bent down and used the lint roller on my back. Well before you know it, I'm on my back and mom is using the sticky lint roller on my belly! It was great! I enjoyed it. Didnt try to bite it, or swat at it. I could of stayed there all day. Too bad most of the sticky stuff was off and didn't get a lot of my fur. I love the lint roller. You guys should try it!

Oh and mom is sick again! I hope I don't have to perform surgery. She calls it a 'cold'. Mom gets grumpy when she is sick. I don't like it at all!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My carrier came in a whole day early!! So mom put it together and she is so happy she got the x-large! I have to lower my head to get into it, but other than that, perfect sizing. Its a little long when I crunch up, but when I lay down its perfect. I might still be growing too! Its so comfy! Mom put it in a quiet corner in the livingroom out of the way and its my new bed! I love it! She took a picture of me in it, she'll upload it tomorrow while she is at work. I'm not afraid of it at all. Mom had a hard time putting it together because I kept on going inside while mom was working on it. Mom is so happy that I like it!!! She is glad she spent the extra money. Its really good quality and will last years! 

Alright so mom said that its way too hard to just pick one special girlie to be my Valentine and that I shouldn't hurt anyones feelings. So she said that all of my 'friendgirls' are my Valentine! Plus I'm not allowed to date, and I'm not even a full fledged Dreamboat yet. Mom said that when I'm a Dreamboat, I can have a Valentine, but I still won't be allowed to date! Ugh geez mom....

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its happened again! I'm a DDP!!! YAY!!!  Thank you Diary Gal for picking me, maybe she liked my last entry of 'being Thankful'. I think it worked! Although that wasn't my intention. She must really like my diary, this is the 5th time in 2011! Wow!

Alright so I don't know if I should pick a lady friend to be my Valentine. Mom said I'm not allowed to date, but I kind of want a Valentine. If I pick someone, does that mean I have to lick her? I only lick my mom. So there are a few lady friends that I like. But I'm really shy and what if she already has a Valentine?  I'll probably just ask mom to be my Valentine. I know she'd say yes. I don't think I could take the rejection from someone else. Plus mom will help me train to be a full fledged Dreamboat!  I need to practice swooning the ladies and when I'm a Dreamboat, watch out girls! I'll be on the prowl!

Who is your Valentine?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I have been on catster for a while now, almost a year! Lately we have realized how lucky we are. Well mom has noticed how lucky I am. She reads the forums and notices all the sick kitties. Some of the cats are really really sick. Then mom feels stupid complaining about a black dot on my nose. Seriously mom? Just let it go. I guess I just want to say how thankful I am that I'm a healthy boy and have no health issues to worry about.  Mom wishes that all the kitty illnesses would just disappear! 

Its not fair that some cats are almost pre-desposed to getting sick. They never asked for it. It just happens. It happens to the nicest kitties ever too, and their moms/dads.  So today I'm going to be purring really hard for all the sick kitties out there. 

Purr, Purr, Purr!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well yesterday mom found me playing with my Glitter ball. So much fun. I lost it though. I layed down with mom for my nap, and then I got up and started whining! Mom fed me, I wasn't hungry. Then she realized I wanted to play with my Glitter Ball but I couldn't find it. It was a scavenger hunt! Mom got the flash light and we were crawling around the house looking for it. Mom looked under the fridge, and then I looked. Wasn't there. We looked underneath the kitchen table, the couch, loveseat, in the hall, behind the shovels, under the dryer, washer, and even under the fishtank! Then mom found it! It was between the end table and the couch! Mom picked it up and I.. attacked! 

She threw it down the hall, I chased after it. Oh I was so happy that mom found it. I hit it around a few times and then I stalked it. I wiggled my butt and pounced! Dead! I killed it. I bunny kicked it to death! Then I picked it up and put it in Moms boot. A perfect spot for it. Until mom got it and threw it down the hall again. I crouched down, slowly moved forward, wiggled my bottom and WHAMO!!! Killed it again!  Phew! all of that pouncing and chasing made me tired! I plopped down on the cool hardwood floor. Mom went and got ready for bed. It was a fun time!

Now if I can only remember where Mom put my Glitter Ball. Its my new favorite toy...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so don't really look at my profile. Mom messed it up! She found this cute picture of a "dreamboat" and thought It would look good on my profile. Errr WRONG!!! So she is going to fix it when she gets home. She is at work and she can't get to her favorite websites to get a cute background for me. Plus she can't change my mixpod music here. Ugh, why did she screw it up?!?! Mom is crazy sometimes. Just don't look at it. lol Its ugly! 

Tomorrow morning when you look at it, It'll be beautiful. Oh and I'll have a new cursor. I have to make sure my friend Zack knows, he likes my cursors.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I made the cut!!  I'm an official Dreamboat in Training!! #12 that is. YAY!!! I thought I had to fill out an application to enter to be on the famous list, but nope!  Who knew that being a licker and somewhat a biter would be a pre-requisite?  Normally mom doesn't go on catster during the weekends, but when she saw this, she had to go on. I made her! hehehe.  Thank you Samoa! Mom absolutely LOVES Samoa Cookies by the way. They're her favorite! 

Now onto last night. I was SO bad!!!  I whined all night long.  Mom doesn't know what is wrong with me. She feeds me before bedtime, we cuddle, we play, but I still kept mom up most of the night. Then this morning, mom woke up to a... Poopie Explosion!! It smelled so bad! After the poopie, I ran around like a crazy cat!!! I ran up my cat tree, across the entertainment center to watch mom pick up the explosion.  I climbed all over her room, I ate part of her hair clip, and I kept on knocking down her lotion! Mom was super irritated with me. 

I'm just so excited to be a Dreamboat in Training #12.  Its a great honor!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday when mom was leaving work, her boss was carrying a box. Mom glanced over and this kittens head popped up! Mom went over to see it. She told me it was a silver tabby girl, 8 weeks old. Mom held it for a couple of seconds and it tried to get away! So she put it back in the box. Mom looked inside and there were hard kibbles sprinkled in the box. Then her manager said, time to go home this kitten is a present to my niece. She walked out with the box. Ahhhhh does she not know its like 18 degrees here. Where is the cat carrier? where is a blanket? Mom thinks she is surrounded by idiots at her job! No one knows how to take care of animals!!! Moms manager drove home with the cat in a box, who kept on jumping out. STUPID!!!  boxes are too dangerous. They are slippery, and slide in cars, not including the kitten kept on jumping out!!!! ARGH!  Mom doesn't even want to talk about animals to her co workers anymore. It makes her too mad!

I was kinda bad last night. I kept on jumping up and laying next to mom. Mom cuddled with me but she wouldn't stop. Then I smelled it... another cat! Mom washed her hands but it was on her shirt!!! So, I bit her hand, and then started to knead her arm. Mom says I hurt when I bite. I don't really bite and chew, I just bite and hang on! Lets mom know I'm not happy! Hanna used to do that I guess, but not has bad as me. I did it to mom 3 times! She got mad and kicked me off of the bed!!! That'll teach mom to touch another kitty. I'm the only kitty in her life! I'll make sure of that. I am Hunter hear me ROAR!!! Hehehehe

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday was a snow day. Mom stayed home from work. She gets up super early so it was 5:20am and mom was watching tv. I was being bad. I jumped on the tv again. Mom said that she didn't want to deal with me, so she went back to bed. She slept until 10:30!!! Mom said that it was a miracle. She woke up and I was laying next to her all sprawled out. If I get any bigger, mom won't have a place to sleep!  hehehehe

We got so much snow, and it is still lightly snowing here. UGH, I hate it. Mom doesn't mind it so much. There is no place to put the snow, the snowbanks are at least 5 feet high. Makes driving a little scary. Anyway, my friend Zack is cat of the day! He likes my cursors on my page. He is a cool dude and deserves it! I hope everyone wishes him a big Congratulations!! So today, mom is ordering my Sturdibag. She is going with the x-large. The tan one because its on sale. I think Tan will complement the orange and white of my fur! I'll be traveling in style. Once that comes in, and I get used to it for a couple of weeks, mom is making that dreaded appointment with the... vets! Technically she is supposed to make it sometime in April. I think mom wants to go a little early to show them how much I've grown. 

This morning, when mom got out of the shower, I jumped in the tub! Oh it was so much fun. Got all wet. Mom put the water on and I was splashing all over the place! I love water! 

I read Monidas diary and she was tagged by Tigger. It was a new one that said "What does your Human say to you most often?" Well this might take a while...

Mom says a lot. These are things she says most often:

Where's my lovey?
Hunter get down!
Time out! Go! (then she points to the bedroom and I go hide in my cat tree cubby)
Hunter, you're crazy!
You want up? (this is when I stretch and tap on her waist so she picks me up)
C'mere Floofy! 
Ugh, Hunter do you have to be with me all the time?!?!?
No, you can't go to work with me Big Boy.(she says this everyday)
HUNTER!!! NO!!!!!  (this is when I've really been bad!)

There are so many other sayings mom says to me, I could go on forever. It makes it sound like mom is mean. She really isn't. I'm just bad. She says I need discipline. So, if you're reading this, you have been officially tagged!  hehehe  :)

Oh, mom doesn't think I'm all that picky anymore when it comes to food! Mom has been buying me Merrick BG beef and chicken/quail. Its good stuff!! I love the beef. SO yummy!!! And I haven't had bad poops! Mom is going to try different types of grain free food every week to see how I like it. I still don't really like NV chicken though. Yuck!  Next week she is going to try By Nature food. And she is going to start to see if she can buy some of my food at Petsmart/Petco because the little shop where she goes is a tad expensive! YAY for different kinds of food!!! My mom is the greatest!!

Anyway, I have to go. Lots to do today, maybe I'll go fishing. Thats always a good time!

		<description>Mom said its just for this once. She feels really bad for her co-workers cats. 

Hunters mom here. ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said its just for this once. She feels really bad for her co-workers cats. 

Hunters mom here. So I have this co-worker who has 2 cats and just got a puppy about a year ago. She got a dog because I got Teaka about 2 years ago, stupid reason to get an animal. Anyway, she has these 2 cats. One is 16 years old, Torti girl, part Siamese. The other is a DMH white and black, male, 4 years old. Picture Hunter but instead of the red he is gray. 

We always talk about our pets. I mention how crazy Hunter is, what he destroyed, how he sleeps with me etc. She said her male cat poops outside the box. How he mats like crazy, and how he has to wrap him in a towel to 'snip' out the mats. I told her to brush him regularly, she said she can't. She puts her cat in a BOX to bring him to the vets, and from what she said, the vet said to get a 2nd litter box and if that doesn't work he will need kitty prozac. She has the same vet Hunter does. I highly doubt they said that. They have been great with Hunter, and I like them very much. They are a feline only vet. Then she told me that if he doesn't stop, she is going to have to put him down. I'm like are you kidding me???  There is basically nothing wrong with this cat. She left him to go live with her "boyfriend" and all these problems started up. I can't believe she would do that. It breaks me heart.  I would NEVER, EVER put down my Hunter if he started to poop out of his box. Obviously something would be wrong. Ugh, Hello, fix it and there wouldn't be an issue. 

Now onto the Torti girl, she told me today that this cat also has a huge mat on the side of her. I told her again, brush the cat regularly. She said again, she can't. She told me she has to get the cat into a 'head lock' with a towel and cut the mat out and pull out her fur. Sounds horrific!!!! No wonder the cat doesn't want to get brushed!!!  Then she tells me today that her cats eyes are dialated and looked glassed over. I said it might be glaucoma because of the increased eye pressure. She said, no its just because she is old. I told her, bring her to the vets. She said no, she would claw me, she hasn't been to the vets in years!  What kind of animal parent is she?!?!?! like it makes me sick to my stomach just hearing about her animals. 

Now this poor puppy... She keeps him in a crate ALL day long. she said she has to because he is crazy. He is crazy because he is locked up all day long. Again with the mats. But for the dog, she calls me "snarls" Don't get a silky terrier if you don't know how to take care of their coat. They need to be professionally groomed almost monthly! UGH!!!!

If I EVER, and I do mean EVER sound like this, Please knock some sense into me. I try and suggest things, but she won't listen. She has an excuse for everything. I almost wish she would surrender her animals. At least they would get the care they need. If I ever move, Hunter is going with me. And Teaka, I know my parents. They take great care of her! I don't think people should get animals if they don't intend on taking care of them.
ARGH!!! People like her make me so mad!!!

What do you guys think? Am I over reacting?? How can I say something and be nice about it? I don't want to hurt her feelings.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So the baby came over to my house again. I really thought this time I would be able to babysit! So she was playing and I came out, and told mom I was ready to babysit. The minute she saw me. "Ohhhh!!! Dat? Dat?" Then what did she do? Ran after me like a crazy girl! She chased me into moms room! She ran and got mom, and said "Dat?" Mom picked her up and said "Thats Hunter, you be nice to Hunter right?" Guess what she did, she shook her head No!  That baby is out to get me. I think its official, my career as babysitter is over. I never even got to sit on the baby once! I don't even know why auntie said I could sit on her baby, no one ever told me the baby would learn how to walk! So now everytime she comes over, I have to watch out where I go, because she finds me everywhere!  

Anyway, mom was up super early this morning. 1:30am!! She is wicked tired, and she went to work. I was being bad. I jumped on the tv, and onto the entertainment center. Its like 10 feet tall! Mom can't even reach me when I go there. Thats why I like it. Oh and yesterday, mom and I played Ping Pong. I was on my cat tree, and mom threw a ball to me, I hit it back to mom. It was great!  Anyway, I got to go, I have to destroy my Zoom Groom, I really hate that thing.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a DDP today!! This is the 4th time in a month! Next time I'm going to be Diary of the Day, I just know it! How exciting, I must be pretty special the diary gal keeps on picking me!  Maybe she thinks I'm cute... *blushes*

Well last night mom got a text from her friend saying that her daughter found a kitten in the snowbank, burried!  Stupid plows don't watch out for little kittens.  She asked if mom wanted it. It was an orange tabby. Mom had to ask the other members of the house, and everyone said no! They said that I'm enough for everyone and they can't imagine having two cats. So mom had to say no to her friend. Its okay though, they found a nice home for the kitten with 3 girls who are so excited! Mom is glad it turned out to be a happy ending. 


Lacey tagged me! Okay, name the 5 most annoying things your humans do, then tag 5 others to keep it going. 

1) I hate it when mom inspects me like a monkey. 
2) I really don't like it when Pepz makes me move because I sit in his spot on the loveseat. 
3) I can't stand it when mom shuts doors on me. I should have free range of the house! I am H.o.H after all, just like Newman. 
4) I don't like it when mom takes the 'sleep' out of my eyes and when she wipes my bum after poopie explosions!!
5) I really don't like it when mom tries to brush me with my Zoom Groom. I bite and feel the need to destroy it!

Lets see, who shall I tag...
Big Harry
Tyson
Nadia
Natasha
Kibbles

Its Friday, Lets PARTY!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so yesterday mom measured me for my new carrier. I'm 22 inches long and thats is just standing like normal, from my nose to my bum, not including my tail, so I'd say add another 10 inches on top of that. That would mean I'm 32 inches long! I weight 9 pounds and I'm about 10 inches tall at my shoulders, thats not including my head. I thought mom wanted to play so I kept on taking the tape measure and trying to run away with it. 

So I guess mom is going to go with the x-large carrier. Now she just needs to save up about $25 more dollars and she can order it for me!  

I was a good boy yesterday. I slept all afternoon and woke up when mom went to bed. I got lamb for dinner. Mmmm lamb is my absolute FAVORITE!  I ate it all. Yum!  This morning mom woke up and I was cuddled next to her. Yesterday when she changed the sheets on the bed, she changed them to a navy blue color. Now you can see my fur everywhere on the bed!  Mom said she is going to brush me when she gets home. I hope I can steal my zoom groom and hide it before she gets home!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess mom felt like cleaning this morning. At 5:15 this morning mom changed the sheets on the bed. OMG it was so much fun, I was helping mom like a good boy I try to be.  :)  So she took the yucky sheets off, and then got nice smelling sheets to put on, well I jumped on the bed. I ran and slid to one side of the bed, then I ran and slid to the other side. All while mom was making the bed, so I kinda got stuck under the covers. I cried a little bit, until mom let me know of a secret passage way to get out. Then I let her know that it is now MY bed. I layed down in the middle of the bed, and tried to attack mom if she tried to sit down. It was a fun time!

Anyway, last night the baby was at my house. I thought I was going to baby sit. Didn't work out that way. The baby now walks and runs! Oh boy, thank goodness mom had my gate up. She was chasing after me! She kept on saying " Dat? Dat? Oooooh!" and then she'd RUN! I got scared. I guess I won't be baby sitting anymore. Thats okay, there will be a new baby pretty soon that I can sit on! 

Just another Wednesday around here. Waiting for another snowstorm. Mom isn't too happy about that, but nothing really she can do about it. Oh and she is going to order a SturdiBag for me. So I can ride in style when I go to the vets! Mom has to make an appointment pretty soon...  Maybe I'll steal her cell phone that way she won't be able to call! Heheheh I'm so sneaky sometimes!

Gotta go! This is Hunter, 10-4 over and out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm one of todays Daily Diary Picks! That makes 3 times in one month. Holy Schmamoly!!! Three times the charm! Maybe next time I'll be Diary of the Day. Now wouldn't that be exciting?!?!?

I was a good boy last night, I tried to kill the dog but mom wouldn't let me. I slept most of the afternoon/night. I was tired. I didn't sleep with mom last night, although I did cuddle when I heard her square box thing start to sing. Anyway, nothing new to report. Gonna go hang out by the window, its Snowing!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was pretty bad all weekend. Its so stuffy in the house, wish mom would open the windows so I can check out whats going on outside. She said its way too cold to open the windows. I'm so bored!!! So on Saturday, I had this fantastic idea, I would try and kill the fish! Alright so they have these 2 things called 'filters' that suck up water and spit it back out. Totally pointless if you ask me. I figure if I unplug it, the fish would die and float, easy catch for me! Anyway, I got behind the tank stand. Its a big tank, 55 gallons, and I unplugged both of the lights, and the filters. Well Pepz tried to turn the light on to he could feed the fish. Didn't work. Mom though the light blew out. Hmm nope. So, they took the light off one side and were trying to figure out what happened. Well, I jumped on the other side of the tank, and started attacking the fish! They weren't dead! Pepz got mad at me. And told me to get down. So I did. Then he found out that it wasn't plugged in. So he was on the floor plugging the light back in and there I was on the fish tank, splashing the water, trying to get me some lunch!  Those fish are slippery!!  I didn't catch any. Pepz fixed everything, and things were okay, until yesterday, when I decided to try my plan again! I walked behind the fish tank and Memz heard me! She squirted me with water!!! I like water so I just sat there enjoying it. Mom had to pull me out. She brought me to time out. :(  it was okay cuz I took a nap. 

I was in time out a lot this weekend. 

I slept with mom last night, and we cuddled. Then this morning I played another game called "lets attack moms clothes, while she puts them on!" So mom was getting ready for work, and she went to get a shirt, but I attacked one end while mom had the other! So much fun! Mom took my paws and said "Hunter, NO!" So I let go. After a few minutes she had the socks.  She put one on and I attacked her foot. She pulled her foot up and said "ouch, Hunter NO!" I let go. She finished getting dressed and then grabbed me, flipped me over on my back, grabbed my paws and said "Hunter, you're so vicious, be a good boy" Then I put my paw on her mouth to shut her up. Hehehehe  I stretched out and went limp like a ragdoll. I do that when mom holds me on my back. I end up being like 3 and a half feet long!   

So as you can see, I haven't really been that good. Mom needs to find a good way to entertain me. 

Oh and I watched tv this weekend. I'm starting to like watching tv with mom on Sunday mornings. It pretty fun! I attack the tv. Good times!

Hope you guys were good this weekend. 

Purrz & Love,
Hunter]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says I'm being a little too needy. I layed down with mom last night when she went to bed. I jumped up and layed down in my spot next to her. Mom woke up and I took over half the bed. She doesn't mind me sleeping with her, but she wishes that I wouldn't stretch out. Sometimes mom breathes in, and gets a mouth full of fur, then she wakes up to a paw almost up her nose. What can I say, its either I'm being bad all the time, or I want to be with mom. Now, I want to be picked up all the time. I stretch up against mom and tap her saying "Hey mom, pick me up please" I did that 3 times this morning, all within a half an hour! 

Mom needs to figure out how to have some space. When she is home, I am within 10 feet of her always. Sometimes mom thinks that I'm insecure, or that I have anxiety when shes not within viewing distance. Great, more questions she'll ask the vet...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Now that I'm 1:

Being called 'the kitten' is degrading.
There is no place that is off limits.
I still think girls have cooties. (except mom and Memz)
I'm allowed to babysit. If only the baby would stop moving so I can sit on her!
I now have my own spot on the bed next to mom.
I also have my own spot on the love seat.
My fleece dancer is getting boring.
I still squish myself to be able to sleep on the highchair.
Mom thinks I'll always be a licker.
I am now H.o.H as Newman would say. I rule over Teaka and Sam the lovebird. 
I'm becoming more lovey, and needy as I get older. 
I still need to cuddle with mom after my nap. 
I now have poopie explosions! Only on rare occasions.
I show off my tail when we have company. 
I don't like it when people come over and say "OMG he's huge" makes me feel bad. I'm not fat, I'm just a big boy, geez

...now that I'm one!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning mom got me my breakfast and then she went outside to start her car. There was ice everywhere! Mom almost fell a couple of times. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty funny watching her from the livingroom window. She would slip, then her arms would start twirling backwards and then she'd stop. I laughed. I know its not funny when someone needs help but c'mon. Mom looked totally crazy. Mom is sick of the snow. There are snow banks taller than mom (which isn't a surprise) and she told me she is sick and tired of shoveling and snowblowing. What I hate about snow is when people come in the house, and they don't take off their shoes. Then I walk around and step in a big wet puddle!  I like water but it has to be in a bowl, sink or tub. Water on the floor is dirty! I may be a boy, but I don't like getting dirty! 

I took over the bed last night. I stretched and since I'm so long, my back feet were off the bed and mom was scrunched against the other side of the bed. It was great!!  Mom had to actually pick me up and move me. She couldn't get comfy. I'm getting to be such a cuddlebug...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Morning fellow catsters. The square black thing woke me up again. Mom had to reach over me to shut it off. Yep, I was snuggled up against her. I was all twisted. My head was going one way, and my body was going another. Mom always wonders how I'm comfortable. What can I say, I'm just special that way. I had lamb last night. So yummy! I haven't had that in a while. This morning mom gave me fancy feast. Yum!  

Its snowing again. Supposed to have about 5-8 inches. More shoveling to do. Mom had no idea it was suppose to snow. When she headed out the door to work.. Surprise! hehehe I really wish she'd let me outside to play in it. Oh well, I'll play with Teaka.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow! Thank you everyone for all my gifts, rosettes, and comments. Mom is a little jealous. She said I'm more popular than she is! Thats right! Just the way its supposed to be. :)  
I want to thank the following cats...

Sammy - Heart
Gimli & family - Blue Ribbon
Biggles - Snowman
Vincent & family - Snowflake
Edwina aka Eddy - Football
Tyson - Snowman
Nellie & Alexis - Party Hat
Apollo, Athena & family - Cupcake
Siggy - Cupcake
Wally & family - Cupcake
Finney, Lacey & Alex - Party Hat
Pumpkin & family - Party Hat
Gordy & family - Cupcake
Kibbles, Francis & family - crown
Zack & Zoey - crown

Hope I didn't miss anyone, and if so, I'm sorry. Thats a lot of pressies and kitties to remember!  I can't forget all the wonderful cats who left me comments too!  Thanks so much!!!  

Well mom and I played yesterday and we cuddled. I'm starting to get good at the whole cuddle thing. Mom likes to do that a lot!  She gave me some kibble. Mmmm so good! But last night all I did was roam around the house meowing. Mom doesn't know why I do that. She called me into the bedroom and I jumped on the bed and layed next to her. Well that didn't last so long because I wanted to play and mom wanted to sleep!  Now that I'm one, mom is going to have to call the vets soon for my one year wellness check up. *GASP*  Do you know what they do at one year check ups? OMG Teaka told me all about it. They put you on this thing called a scale and weight you. I'm not worried about that. Then they put you on a table and some man comes in and touches you. He squeezes your belly, looks at your teeth, looks at your eyes, nose, ears. OMG They better not touch my feet. I don't even like it when mom touches my feet. I'm nervous already. I hope mom forgets about it. But knowing her she won't. She already has a stupid list of questions to ask the vet. Maybe I can get rid of that list.... Who likes to shred paper? Anyone?? I don't shred paper, but I'll hire someone who does. $20 to anyone who would like to shred Mom's question list... Any offers???

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So we have over a foot of snow and its still falling.  Mom didn't go to work because she can't get her car out of the driveway. Well, I was up on the rolly cart next to Sams Cage. There just happens to be a cookie jar on that cart. Sam scared me and I jumped and the top of the cookie jar fell on the floor and broke in half!!!  I ran for cover. I don't know why, but no one was mad at me, and I didn't even get sent to time out!!  

Its been an okay day. I'm relaxing by Sams cage. Its lunch time pretty soon, then Mom is going outside to snow blow the snow so she can get to work tomorrow.  

I wish I could go outside and play in the snow!  Mom won't let me.  :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nothing exciting happened yesterday. I was a good boy and didn't get into any trouble. This morning I snuggled up with mom and gave her a facial. I'm a licker. More so than the dog! Crazy huh?  Well, I did it again.  This morning while mom was getting ready for work, I layed down on the bed. Its now MY bed. Mom really doesn't like that idea too much. She might have to go out and buy me a super duper comfy bed. But with her luck, I'll just use moms bed instead. Oh and I'm starting to like Fancy Feast better than my other food. Mom doesnt know what to do. Fancy Feast is so much cheaper and I love it. But its not all that good for me huh?  Mom is going to have to ask the vet about that when I go for my 1 year check up.  Oh thinking of my one year birthday I should make a list of the pressies I want...

1. I want a new fleece dancer.
2. A big bed like Mom's all for me!!
3. Temptation treats
4. Fuzzy glitter ball

Hmmm thats all I can think of for now. I'm sure I'll think of more as my day goes on. Get ready for the snow all you New Englanders... its coming!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm getting rather needy in my old age. Mom said so. Guess what? Thursday is my birthday! I'm going to be 1!! Yay!! Mom said we should have a party. How exciting. I should make a list of what I want for pressies!!  Anyway, yesterday morning I climbed on the bed and sat on mom like Hanna used to!!  Mom missed that so much. I couldn't get any closer to mom. I climbed up on her gave her headbutts and plopped my bum down and we cuddled and she pet me. It was great!! I gave her a microdermabrasion. She was laughing because my tongue hurts her sometimes, but she didn't stop me. We watched tv and I attacked the tv a little bit. Not the new tv. Mom would of been mad. Its the older tv in moms bedroom. Mom even took a video. I was being a good boy. Mom gave me NV chicken to eat. Yuck!! I don't like it. So for lunch mom gave me some Fancy Feast Tender Beef, OMG it tasted sooo good! I ate the whole thing in one sitting!! That never happens. It was super yummy! Well mom was walking around the house doing stuff and I was following her. Mom said she is like the Pied Piper because I follow her everywhere. 

Alright fellow friends, who has hairy feet? I do, and my Memz wants to cut off my floof. She said it must be slippery walking on fur. It grows out from the bottom of my paw, where the pads are. All inbetween is my floof. I don't want them to cut off my hairy feet floof. Its pretty long, about half an inch or so. Does anyone else get their feet floof snipped off??? I think if they do that, it won't grow back. :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good morning my fellow catsters! I feel better! After the Poopie explosion yesterday, I'm pretty much back to my old self. Mom even put me in time out yesterday. I really don't like being in time out. I whined and cried to get out of the bedroom. Mom is such a softie and let me out. Mom and I played again yesterday for a couple of hours, while she was watching "The last Exorcism" stupid movie. She didn't like it. Wasn't worth the money she said. Anyway, mom looked in my box when she got home to check on my poopie situation, no poopie! She checked out my floofy bum, all clean!  Mom was so much fun to play with yesterday. She made me a fort!! Okay so on the couch there are these 4 pillows, she put a blanket on the couch, made 3 walls with the pillows and a roof, and put another blanket on top. Mom put me in, and I layed down. It was the coolest fort ever!  Then I got out, and went around to the arm of the couch and pounced on it! It collapsed. :(  Oh well. Maybe mom will make me another cool fort today!  

I'm still a tad picky on my food. Not eating as much as I have been in the past. I didn't want my dinner, so mom gave me some kibble. I didn't want my kibble either. Mom said I had to eat something! So she gave me a few temptation treats. Mmmm Yum!  Anyway, mom was getting ready to go to bed and we walked into the bedroom. I jumped on the bed, and layed down. Very unusual for me. So mom had to crawl over me to the other side of the bed. I stayed and slept with mom all night long!!! Well I did get up a few times to eat and use my box. But after that, I jumped back onto the bed. I'm such a Momma's boy!

I can't wait for mom to come home to build me another fort. I'm so excited!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a DDP... Again! Isn't that great news? Well first of all I would like to thank my Mom, because without her I wouldn't even have a diary in the first place. Secondly, I'd like to thank the Diary Gal for picking me again. She must think I'm cute.  :) 

So yesterday when mom got home from work, I was napping. She still feels like something is just not right with me, but she can't put her finger on it. So she gave me lunch. I didn't want it at all. Yuck! It was NV chicken, not my fav at all. Then she got out my Feather Flyer. Oh boy! I jumped and jumped and jumped, I caught it twice! Then I have to carry it to a safe spot to inspect it.  After a good workout mom put it away. She thought I'd be good for the night. She was wrong.... :)  Well after that I took a nap, again. Then I woke up ready to go! We played with my fleece dancer. Fun Fun Fun!  After that mom went to bed for the night. 

I woke her up this morning, meowing. I was walking around the house yeowling like I used to do when I was little. Mom called me and I came running. We played on the bed, under the covers, there was a monster under the covers. It was a great time!  Mom got ready for work like usual and when she got out of the bathroom... she got a big sniff of POOPIE!!! She looked around on the floor because she thought I might of had an accident. Nope. It was in my box. But it was... diarrhea! OH NO!!!  So mom checked my bum floof and I was clean. Thank Goodness! I hate when she wipes my bum. She knew something wasn't right with me. Maybe I ate something I wasn't supposed to? Maybe I got bad poopies because mom stopped the dry food? She doesn't know.  So she put some eagle pack transition on my breakfast. Hopefully it goes away. 

The good news is, I ate all of my dinner last night. Buffalo... yum!

Hope everyone has a good day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So yesterday morning, Mom woke up and was getting ready for work. Normally I go and wake up Sam the Lovebird. Instead, I just layed on moms bed. That is so not like me!  Anyway, yesterday was a normal day, I was being my bad self and got sent to time out. Only once though!  I slept most of the afternoon and mom didnt even see me until the middle of the night! Teaka slept with Mom and I felt the need to attack her. Mom was kind of mad at me cuz Teaka was scared. I'm bigger than her now and she was shaking!! Somehow we made it work out because when mom woke up this morning, me and Teaka were sleeping next to each other!  Well, this morning mom got ready for work and I did it again, I just layed down on moms bed. Mom is a tad bit concerned, Its not like me at all!!! Then she noticed I hardly ate my dinner.  For months now, I've been cleaning my plate.  She thought that I ate the dogs food, nope it was full (really unlike me to not have an occasional dog kibble)  Shes been using a different bowl for my food. Maybe thats it? She isn't quite sure what to think, isn't really over reacting because I was super bad yesterday and last night which is the norm for me. So mom doesn't want me to get sick so she put some lysine in my food. And she is going to watch my litter box the next couple of days to see how I'm doing in that department. 

Any suggestions?  

Next month mom is making an appointment for my one year wellness check up. Hopefully I dont get sick before then. 

Purrz & Licks,
Hunter

p.s Also, mom is stopping the dry food. Only on the weekends like before.  Maybe that'll help?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well yesterday I was being bad, so I thought I would make it up to mom this morning. She woke up and I was all snuggled up against her face. She pet me and I turned around and gave her a whole facial!  Microdermabrasion!!! Oh boy, she needed it!  Mom tried to wiggle away because she said that she felt like her face was going to peel off. Something about my tongue hurting? Silly mom!  Anyway, after I felt she was clean we snuggled some more! Then mom had to get up and I just layed there, in my warm spot.  Mom was getting ready for work, but I didn't want her to go!!! So I stretched up and tapped her waist and said "pick me up" although all mom heard was 'meow' and I gave her like 5 headbutts!!  I can really charm the ladies! hehehehe. She just loves when i'm all smushy and lovey like that. 

Then after mom got ready, it was my favorite time of day... breakfast time!!! We did our routine and unlocked the door together, then mom got me my food. Weruva.. Yummy!!  And she gives me my daily treats. I jumped up to get my treats and mom noticed a lil thing on my bum! Not again!! So I was eating my treats and mom poked my bum!  I did an angry yeowl. Does she not know you don't poke a man cats bum while hes eating? Sheesh!  Mom is like a monkey, shes always picking at me. Like when I get the teeny tiny bit of gook in my eyes? She has to attack me and get it out, same thing with my boogies! Now shes lookin at my bum!! I'll clean my bum before she comes home. So mom left for work. I was a really good boy this morning. I hope that made up for yesterday. I was in time out like 4 times!!!  Mom said that I hoped I learned my lesson? What lesson?  I didn't know I was doing anything wrong! Oh well, back to jumping on the tv!  Gotta go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I've been kind of bad this morning. Then mom found out that I was chosen to be one of the DDP's today! So I think she felt bad and we were playing for about an hour. Then I got crazy and ran into my box. Uh oh... an explosion of poopie!! Mom doesn't know what I ate, but I got poopie on my white fluffy bum!! She tried to clean it but I wouldn't let her. I got most of the poopie off myself. Now mom needs to clean my mouth out. Ewwww. So after that I wrestled with Teaka for a bit, and mom had to break up the fight. I get a little too rough with her. Teaka went back to bed and I kept on jumping on the new tv. I scratched it a couple of times but don't tell Memz, she'll get super mad!!! I wouldn't calm down so mom put me in time out for about 5 minutes. I wanted out so I kept whining at the door. Mom let me out, and I spazzed out again, jumping on the new tv. Mom put me back in time out!! I've been in here for about 3 minutes so far. I don't like it one bit!!  Maybe I'll take a nap on my cat tree. 

Thanks Catster for making me one of the DDP's!! I feel honored.  :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom changed my page. I'm sure she'll change it again as she isn't too thrilled with it.  She had a great cursor picked out for our friend Zack, but its not showing up on my page!!! If anyone sees my cursor could they let us know? Maybe its just not working for mom. Oh and moms music is working but its not the song she wanted, and she can't change it for some reason.  When things don't work for mom she gets super irritated. So she is just better off to leave it for today and try again tomorrow.  Don't worry Zack, I picked out a funny one just for you!!  

Happy New Year!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom tells me this morning that I need to make a list of my New Year's Rezolooshun. What is that? She told me that New Years happens only once a year and that some people make a list of things they want to better themselves with. Like moms rezolooshun is to eat better and try to be happier, not worry so much and to maybe relax (yea mom, you relax? Psssht! that'll never happen). Well I've been thinking of what my rezolooshuns should be. Here is my list:

I will try not to attack the livingroom curtains. It makes Memz super mad. 

I will not jump on moms bureau because I don't like when she is mad at me. 

I will be a good boy and let mom brush me at least one a week. 

I will try and find another place to nap, as Pepz isn't too happy he can't sit in his chair. 

I will try not to spazz out all the time. Mom should of called me Tornado. 

Well that is all I can think of right now. I figure I make my resolooshuns about the bad things I do. If I don't do the bad things, mom won't get mad, and ultimately she'll be happier! I don't want mom to grow older and be some mean old lady. She needs to be happy!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunter 

Note from Mom: I really hope 2011 is better than 2010. Actually it will be. I have to be optimistic. I'll have a new niece in 2011 that'll pull Hunters tail I'm sure. :) I do hope that Hunter calms down a bit though. He'll be 1 in about 2 weeks, and then I'll have to make an appointment for his one year wellness check up. Not looking forward to that. I can say this, Hunter hasn't been as picky as he once was regarding food. Which is great. Although he didn't eat last night. Another growth spurt? Not worried about it. He did sneeze a couple times the other day, might put lysine in his food tonight. In all honesty, whatever happens in 2011, let it happen. Nothing I can do about it anyway. Thats my new motto. If I can't change it, don't stress/worry about it. I can't change the weather, if people get sick, car accidents, death etc. Not going to stress about things I can't change. What I do hope for 2011, is that all of my friends/family, Hunters friends and relatives (wherever they may be) to be healthy, safe, financially 'ok', and overall, Happy! Life is too short to stress out and not enjoy it. So enjoy 2011 everyone and I hope you all follow your "Rezolooshuns!"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a snowstorm we had! Sheesh! Got about a foot of snow. I'm not allowed to go outside and play in it. But Teaka told me its cold!! The wind was howling outside moms window, and she had a hard time sleeping because of it. I keep watch over her on my cat tree. I was a pretty good boy on my first Christmas. We had a tiny tree, maybe about 18 inches tall. And I didn't try to bite it at all! It had lights on it, beads, and even a few ornaments. Mom was very impressed with me. Although I did try to bite one of the Wise Men's head off, from the Manger. Since mom lets me have a bit of kibble every day, I don't bite anymore! 

This morning mom was in the bathroom doing her hair and had the water running. I jumped in the sink and got all wet! I let the water go all over me. On my head, paws, tail, my back was wet. Then I shook it all off like Teaka does, water everywhere!! It was on the mirror, walls, counter, sink, and even mom got sprayed with water!  I love water. So much fun! Well there is nothing really exciting going on in my life. I'm being a good boy, most of the time.  :)  

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MORE pressies! Mom doesn't know why, but I still play with my old toys. Last night it was the fish that goes "bubble bubble bubble" and my new mouse that goes "squeak squeak squeak" They were in my hammock. Usually I spread out my toys all over the floor and when mom wakes up, she picks them up and puts them back in my hammock. Not last night though. Mom woke up to a clean floor!  I was being kind of bad though. I played with moms chapstick, and I crunched her glasses again with the alarm clock. 

Mom said I'm starting to fill out nicely. She said for months that she though I was too skinny. You could feel my back bone and ribs a bit. She looked at me last night and said that I look pretty much "ideal" I'm a big boy, maybe 12 or 13 pounds now. Mom wrote a question in the 'answers' section of catster and Harvey answered it. Mom thinks I'm still part Turkish Van which is highly unlikely but mom is dead set on that one. Harvey said I'm big-boned (which mom didn't really think so) and that I could have Maine Coon ancestors somewhere in my very large family tree. Mom keeps on searching for my traits. For example, how does one get the van pattern. Mom thinks if she can find that out, she can see what colors my parents where. She was reading up on genes and all that sort of stuff. What kind of cats have ear tuffs, furry feet, a neck ruff, full tail etc.  Its a lot to remember but mom is set on figuring out what kind of cats are in my background. Although in reality, its impossible to know. Mom just loves researching things that are very interesting to her. She has noticed that my tail fur is getting longer. Its really long. Mom thinks she could braid it! Ugh, mom is such a girl sometimes.  

Anyway, Its Christmas Eve, and mom gets to leave work early today! So that means, off from catster and get to work mom! I want to thank all of my friends for my rosettes. I love having such good friends. Mom and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas/Holiday and if you don't celebrate Christmas, we hope you have a great day!!

This is Sir Hunter McFluffyButt signing off. 10-4 Over and out!

Merry Christmas!

Purrz & Love,
Hunter]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I got some cool new presents. Mom gave me one yesterday and threw it into the bedroom so I could play with it. Its a green mouse!  Well I guess mom didn't put the gate up and Teaka went into the bedroom and grabbed my pressie away from me! She went running into the livingroom and mom took the mouse away from her. It was full of doggie slobber!  Now I don't want anything to do with it. It has been infected with dog cooties! Ewwww!  So much for that one. 

I need to start hiding my toys!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so mom went out shopping after work yesterday. She got me pressies!!! Well she got me kibble (because I love me some Kibble, and because its going to be my afternoon snack. yea kibble is bad blah blah blah) and she got me this remote control mouse! Oh my goodness!! its a mouse that moves! The bad part is... Teaka keeps on running after it and grabbing it with her mouth!  When I was little, I would be all over that. Now, not so interesting. Although I did follow it when Teaka wasn't in the way. Teaka ran so fast after it, she somehow she hit her head and she was bleeding!!!  Mom and Memz cleaned her up and she has a little red bump on her head. Stupid dog. Well I got even MORE pressies today!!! Mom's work friends gave me a whole bag of pressies! They have jingle bells inside and everything! A whole bag just for me! Oh and yea, they gave Teaka this ridiculous looking moose head that bounces and wiggles all over the place. She'll love that.  I'm just so excited, I have a snowman, candy cane, tree, present, mice, colored balls with bells inside! YAY!!!  I love new toys!

Happy Holidays,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom made it home safely from her doctors. She came home friday and we took a nap together. Then she went out shopping and came home with this BIG black thing! I mean it was huge! Mom and Pepz had to carry it inside. Mom said its a "TV" I mean we have a tv at home but not this big! 55 inches mom said! I thought it was for me, I was climbing all over it. They left it on the floor friday night. 

Saturday mom woke up sooo sick! :( she was crying.  I snuggled as hard as I could, but mom kept on coughing and sneezing. Her and memz left and when they came back they got this big white box. I LOVE boxes!! Another present for me! Well then mom picked me up and locked me in the spare room. I didn't do anything wrong! I swear!  I kept on opening the door and I saw the entertainment center being moved, new tv, new stand. Oh my Goodness my house was being destroyed! Again, mom put me in the spare room.  Finally I was able to come out. The big tv was on a new stand and mom had a new tv. Mom didn't even go to her party she was invited to because she was so sick. 

Yesterday Auntie called and asked if we could babysit. Sure I can babysit. She needs to bring the baby over and I can sit on her! No problem. Well I forgot that the baby can walk now. Oh boy! She loves my tail. I was a good boy though and I didn't hurt her at all! I don't know why they call it babysitting, I didn't get to sit on the baby at all! Oh well, maybe next time.

Mom is actually at work. She is still sick but can't keep on taking days off. She has to get last minute presents for a few people and she is going to buy me some kibble because she says that I need to eat more. Well I gotta go. Maybe I'll unwrap some of the presents. I hope one is for me!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I feel bad for mom. She has been so stressed out lately. This morning she didn't even wanna cuddle with me. She was jittery. She has to drive into Boston tomorrow and its making her a wreck! She has directions where she needs to go, and she has her GPS on her phone, but mom is still nervous. Mom looked today and it is going to take mom about 1 hour and 45 with traffic to get to her doctors in Boston. That means she has to leave 2 hours ahead of time! Thats crazy. I wish I could go with mom and cuddle, but she said that If I were to get away, I wouldn't last a day there!  I hope mom makes it there safely and she comes home alright. I wouldn't know what to do without my mom. I love her!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I slept with mom again last night. Mom woke up and thought her pillow was moving. It was my tummy! I don't know how it happened, but mom was sleeping on me! I didn't mind one bit. I hate it when she wants to cuddle too much, but for some reason, I don't mind her sleeping so close to me.  Mom calls me the Protector of the Night! Well if those ghosts and monsters come to attack mom, I have to save her! I've been pretty good lately. I hope I made Santas 'nice list'. :)

Oh so Teaka told me something really gross last night. We were playing and she told me that she ate moms ear plugs and she poopied them outside!!! So of course being moms favorite, I told mom. She went outside and saw 5 bright orange ear plugs scattered on the lawn!! Eeeewww Gross!!!  I don't eat ear plugs. And I don't poopie outside. I'm much more sophisticated than Teaka. I have mom to clean my poopie! 

I gotta go. I've been watching the fishtank lately, and there is this black fish I wanna nibble on. I think its time to go fishing!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom is super stuffy today and can't really breathe out of her nose. She told me I can write in my diary but to make it short and sweet. 

Mom didn't sleep that well last night. I think it might be my fault. I kept on pouncing on her. I'm getting better about going on the bureau though. She hates when I do that. Mom has to buy me food this weekend. Hopefully she'll spend $40 or less.  That is her goal. Lets see if it works.  I gotta go and get mom some tissues. 

Have a nice weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so for a while mom was looking for another poopie scooper for me. The one I had, broke. I must do some heavy poopies!! Well the other day mom bought a metal poopie lifter. She tried it yesterday and its like super scooper!!! Mom loves it! Takes maybe 5 scoops to clean my box now. She is so glad that she spent the extra money on it. Theres only one problem that I've found, the handle... is pink. Seriously mom, pink?!?! Ugh, I swear she always thinks she is buying for Angel Hanna. Hello... I'm a BOY!! I mean even a yellow or orange could be a manly color. Pink, how embarrassing!  

I tried Fancy Feast last night! Mom only bought 2 little cans. The 3oz size. She bought the Classic Chicken & Chicken Liver, and Beef & Beef Liver. Normally I don't like Chicken Pate. Mom though she would give it a shot. They were .56 cents and with moms Petsmart rewards card she got them for .50 cents!  $1.00 for 2 cans of cat food! SCORE!  Anyway, mom gave me the chicken as a snack. Well, I ate the whole thing!!!  YUMMY!!  She kept an eye on me to see if I got sick afterwards, nope, I'm good to go. Today we are going to try the beef. I hope that tastes as good. If I like it, mom is going to try Turkey. Today mom is going to check out my poopies to make sure I don't have hershey squirts! Eeewwwwwwww!!

Well I have to go and scrub up, Memz needs to take her medicine, and I might perform some kneading surgery on her blankey!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom woke up in the middle of the night to find me sleeping next to her! She was shocked. Ever since she bought that new comforter and sheet set, I've been hooked! I love moms bed now! Its super warm. The only problem mom found was that I take up half the bed AND the pillow. I love moms pillow. I stretch out and mom gets pushed down a bit.  Its great. I don't even need a bed of my own. I have moms!  I slept with mom pretty much all night. 

Alright so there are ghosts in the fan in my house. I got rid of the goblins though. Now there is this black monster. Its a different kind of monster. Mom took out this black thing to wear in the winter time. She calls it a 'jacket'. She puts it on kind of like a shirt and when she walks it makes a funny noise. Mom said "thats because its waterproof Hunter" Well mom wears this everyday and then she always gives me a kiss goodbye when she leaves for work. Well I don't like this black monster when it comes close to me! I bite it, and swat at it. This morning it tried to eat my claw!!! Mom had to save me. She tried to pick me up but she had the black monster on! I bit her hand and swatted again at her back. I don't like it at all!!!  I need to find a way to get rid of it.  

Mom brought Memz to the Doctor last night and she got some medicine. Silly mom puts everyone else infront of her. Mom should of gotten some medicine too!  Oh well.  At least Memz will start to feel better. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so yesterday I was wicked hungry. (yes in NH we say wicked) Mom came home from work and fed me. It was LAMB! My favorite! I ate it all within a couple of hours. Mom went to bed a little later that usual (I was sleeping on the couch next to her). She fed me Rabbit and went to bed. I didn't even notice it was there! This morning I didn't wake her up at all! She could of slept all day. All I wanted to do this morning was lay down. I didn't even wanna snuggle. Mom thinks I ate too much. Normally I eat one can a day. Yesterday I ate a can and a half!!!  

So mom is super excited. She was reading the forums and noticed that some people feed their cat, dog food! Well it has a doggy label on it, but the formula is the same for cats. The best part, the dog food comes in 13 oz cans!  That could save mom some money!! So far she only knows a couple of brands that are the same between cat and dog. But guess what? My favorite food NV Lamb is one of them!!!!! YAY!!!  Mom is super excited! 

I tried telling mom that I really don't like certain flavors of Weruva anymore. So she is just going to buy me the chicken ones, and replace the ones I don't like with Fancy Feast. We know its not the best food, but it would only be maybe 3 times a week, and all my other food is high quality!  That'll save mom even MORE money! Mom is going to try different kinds of food here and there to see if I like them. Like By Nature 95% beef, maybe some Soulistic, Fancy Feast, Blue Buffalo Wilderness, and maybe even some Dave's, and Trader Joes!  

I have a good feeding schedule going on, so I hope mom doesn't give me a tummyache with all this food. She knows to go super slow with me. I tend to get bad poopies!!  And we all know a solid poopie is a happy poopie! hehehe.  

Well I should get going. I have to get my Stethoscope out. Memz is really sick, and mom is starting to get sick too.. again! A Doctors work is never done!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a good boy this morning. I did wake up mom at 4:00am though. She didn't mind today since she had to go back to work. Saturday mom went to the pet store to get me a new scooper. The other one cracked and broke! She also got me a mouse!! Not a real one though. Its a big brown fuzzy one that squeaks when I touch it! Its so cool!! I played with it all night last night. So much fun!  

I was being so good this morning, I layed down with mom and we cuddled. I gave her a facial. We did headbutts together. I was just being an overall good boy! This is my way of being on Santas "Nice list".  

Mom tried feeding me the raw food. It wasn't happening. Is she serious? Raw food? Give me a break Mom, that is disgusting! You won't believe what she did. She even put some in my regular food. But i'm too smart for that, there was no way I was going to eat it. She gave up. Now, she is on the search for cheap, high quality food that I'll eat. That should be a tough challenge. I'm a picky boy!

Gotta go. Teaka just got up. Time to wrestle!  I wish mom didn't have to go back to work. I miss her.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thought I'd write in Hunters diary since I haven't in a while. I think there is something wrong with him. I don't think he has the gene or the cat instinct to sleep.  He is up all the time!! He has woken me up everyday at 6:00am for the past week and a half. I'm on vacation. Do you think I could sleep in? Noooo! Sir Hunty needs his breakfast. But its not even that. He just wants me up to pay attention to him. He is so needy in the morning. He is like a big baby. He takes his nap from like 4-7pm every day (this is the only time he sleeps I think), and then he struts out to where ever I am (with his asian sleepy eyes) like a toddler looking for his mother. He finds me, meows to be picked up and we cuddle.  This is his daily routine. 

Hunter has grown accustomed to the humidifier.  He stands on it and leans over where the mist comes out to get his "facial".  If there is no water in it. He will stand and paw at it, until someone fills it.  i've never had a cat like him before, ever. 

I think his tail is shrinking. Does that make sense? It used to drag on the floor. I was told that his body is getting longer which gives the impression that his tail is shrinking. I don't know.  Again I went to the pet store yesterday and the cats in those cages look huge!!! Maybe Hunter is really small for his age?  The other cats faces were so large. Hunter has this little kitten face. Hunter must weight 10-11 pounds, but his face is so small.  Big paws,  i noticed that he is starting to walk like a lion. You know how they walk with their big paws. Kind of strange.  And the fur on his tail is getting longer. Oh and the fur between his toes, getting really long. lol  Someone told me I should cut it!  Don't worry, i wouldn't do that.  :)  

He is starting to reject his Weruva food. Will only eat the Nine Liver and Paw licken Chicken.  Don't know why. 

Anyway, that is what is going on with Hunter. Hopefully I can start his diary back up on Monday when I go back to work. Not looking forward to that!  Have a great weekend everyone!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom said that she wanted to write in my diary today, so I figure I would let her.

First I wanted to Thank you all for the well wished for my uncle. Sadly as I was writing Hunters diary Tuesday morning, he passed away. I know he is in a better place. Thank you.

My family and I are trying to enjoy the holiday however we just don't have the heart or the drive to enjoy it. We are having a very small Thanksgiving as we know my uncle would of wanted it that way.  Thanksgiving was his special holiday. 

Hunter and I probably won't be on catster much the next week and a half. There is a lot going on, between a wake, funeral, and my niece getting baptized. 

Hunter has been driving me insane. He has been waking me up at 6:00 for the past couple of days and I have been playing with him for about 6 hours every morning. Not exaggerating. I do not think this cat sleeps!  He wants to play all the time!!! He is non stop constantly. 

Anyway I wanted to wish everyone, kitties and their families a Happy Thanksgiving!!! Eat lots of Turkey!!!

Love & Purrz,
Kelly and Hunter]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my mom has lots going on. First she wants everyone if they don't mind, to pray for our family. Moms uncle is dying of cancer and she thinks more prayers and maybe even a few purrz would help him go to heaven. He is really special to mom so her eyes have been leaking a little bit. 

Okay so its been voted, no Christmas tree for mom this year. Mom had a discussion with me, Memz, Pepz, and even Teaka. No Tree! She does have a small 3 foot one with fiber optic lights. She is going to try that and see how I do. Seriously mom, I'm just going to climb and destroy that thing, good luck! hehehe  

I was being a very good boy this morning. Mom appreciated that, she told me so! I even layed down in bed with her this morning. I was sleeping nice and calm until that stupid alarm clock went off. It scared me! I flew out of bed. 

Mom bought raw food.  She gave some to Teaka last night. Teaka loved it! Usually I like Teakas food. Mom gave me some. I sniffed and sniffed and sniffed. Is she serious? She wants me to eat raw lamb. She needs a cat scan! hahahaha I have a feeling mom is going to try and give me some again... she is sneaky like that!

Well I gotta get going, I have lots to do today. Eat, nap, whine, play with my straw, eat, nap, kill the dog, nap, and maybe steal a couple of fish out of the fish tank! Later alligator!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ... Daily Diary Pick!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited! I must have a pretty cool diary to be picked DDP. Mom is not so happy with me. I was super duper bad last night. I wanted to play all night, and mom wanted to sleep. I don't understand why humans like mom, sleep at night. That is just silly! Its the best time to play! 

Anyway, I don't have much to say. Can't think of any particular story you guys would be interested in. Mom is worried about putting up a Christmas tree.  Good Idea? Bad?  Let us know what you think, k?

Thank you diary gal for picking me to be a DDP! I'm honored!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is stressing out a bit. She needs a vacation. I said she could go on a vacation but only if I'm allowed to go too. Mom needed to laugh last night so, I jumped to see what memz was drinking and she had a straw! No straw in my house is safe from me. So, while no one was looking, I grabbed the straw and ran to the kitchen! Memz yelled "Hunter, come back with my straw!" I burried it under the kitchen rug. Shhhh don't tell anyone! It was getting late and mom was just hanging out on the couch watching tv. It was past moms bedtime. I kept on sitting infront of her telling her it was bed time. She didn't listen. So, I stood up on my hind legs and tapped her face. Then she got the hint. Sometimes moms just don't understand! 

I need to be extra good, Mom said something about a Santa Claus. What is a Santa Claus? She told me that he gives me presents if I'm good. But how does he know if I'm good or bad? I've never seen a Santa Claus, or a Christmas Tree. What is that? So many questions. I'm going to have a deep discussion with mom this weekend about it.  Maybe mom made it up so I would be good. I bet thats it. Shes sneaky sometimes. 

I need to cheer mom up tonight! Any ideas?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got my official Man Cat hard hat today!!! Mom keeps on laughing at me. She said I look so funny, but she loves it. Mom said I'm a typical boy and that the group Man Cats at Work...No girls allowed, fits me perfectly! Did you see my picture? My hat fits perfectly!!! Thanks so much to the Bush family for making my hat, it made my day.  :)

You won't believe what I did yesterday. I went fishing!!! Yep I did. Mom had the fish tank cover open to feed the fish. She went to get the fish food, and when she came back I was on the tank with my two front legs IN the water. My tail was in the water too, and mom pretty much had to catch me before i went Kerplunk into the water. I was soaked! I was also pretty upset mom didn't let me catch any fish. ;( But there is always tomorrow.  :)

I taught mom how to play catch! She throws me my kickeroo, and I catch it. Then I knock it down and mom catches it! We played this for a while yesterday. Until I got bored, then I napped. 

Mom is still laughing over my hard hat! Geesh!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, Mom was so happy with all of the comments I got, my presents, AND all of those treats! 104 treats. Thats enough to have 1 every day for the next three months!!!!!  So I have to tell you all about me and the fleece dancer this morning, but before I do all of that, I want to thank my friends for all of my gifts!

The family of Friskie, Homer, Kibbles etc: Thank you so much for my Turkey!!! If its big enough I'm going to stuff Teaka inside!! hehehehe j/k!

Ollie- I LOVE PIE!!! Mmmmm Thank you so much! And thank you for my picture! Its the best!!

Alex, Finney & Lacey - Thank you for the Turkey Leg. I think its the pefect size for me to carry around the house. :)

Sammy: Thanks so much for my Pilgrim Hat! I'm going to wear it with pride at Thanksgiving!!

Tommy & Spades: My blue ribbon!! Thank you so much! I feel like a #1 Winner!!

Tyson: A Pilgrim Hat!! YES!! Now I have 2!! Can never have too many fun hats!  Thank you!

The Family of Redford, Cooper, Tundra, Manytoes etc: Thank you for my Spot Bot!! 

So now I'll tell you what I did this morning and what mom found!  Well I had my fleece dancer in moms room on the floor. I picked up the end and started walking out in the livingroom with it. I had it dragging between my legs and mom kept on laughing. She said I was walking like I had to do a major poopie. I was just walking funny because I didn't want to step on it. Geesh Mom!  Then I decided to go back into moms room with it, and I stuffed it into one of moms shoes!! Of course it didn't all fit in but most of it did, and the stick was out, but thats okay. Mom left it there incase I wanted to play with it later.  Then she walked towards the door to go outside. She noticed the rug was all messed up. She tried to straighten it out and it was still bubbly in the middle. Mom picked up the rug and found 3 of my straws there!!! Mom has no idea how I got them there, its a heavy rug. So she found my straw stash! I hope she doesnt find my stash inside the couch!  Gotta go get my facial from the Humidifier. A boy has got to look good ya know!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So if everyone looks on the recent feline activity page, you'll see "I commented on the following diaries" I hope we don't all get confused again. That was horrible! So many cats and their parents were so mad! I know mom was mad. She thought a few of my friends had died! It was crazy.  So mom has this thought that if everyone reads what they are clicking then everything should be okay... she hopes.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been super bad all week and mom doesn't know what to do. I've been running throughout the house at top speed and crashing into the slider. I've been searching for things to play with. I play with everything available besides my toys. I go on moms dresser and get her nail file and I put a few bit marks in that. I went into the trash again (Thank Goodness it was empty)  I have been off the wall crazy and I'm driving mom nuts!  I have more energy now than I did when I was a tiny kitten.  People say kittens mellow out as they get older. Hmmm not me! Just the opposite is happening. I can't seem to sit still.  The only time I'm quiet is when I'm sleeping. Maybe all these spurts of energy means I'm growing more? Mom hasn't really noticed any physical changes with me. I'm just one very hyper boy!

I jump over couches, end tables, jump on counters, play with things I'm not supposed to, run and slide into the sliding glass door. Do you guys run around like this? Should mom be concerned?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...fart? I farted in moms face this morning. It was great! She was so disgusted. HAHAHA  She looked at me and said "Do you need to do a poopie on your box?" I didn't have to. 

Mom really wants to start me on Raw food. She was thinking maybe after Christmas when things won't be so hectic. She is just trying to get through the holidays right now. Plus, after Christmas I'll almost be 1. Then she'll bring me to the vets and ask his opinion on it. They're really good on feline nutrition there. She likes the brands Stella and Chewy's and Natures Variety. She is a little leary on Natures Variety. She read somewhere last year that they had a recall. I know mom probably won't want to risk it. She has been thinking of putting me on Raw for a long time now. She hopes it makes me fill out more. Mom thinks I'm a bit too skinny almost. If I'm not hungry, I'm not going to eat. And thats that! Then again, mom has a good thing right now with my food. Ack, does she risk it, or just pay the extra money for the canned food? Decisions Decisions...  Anyway I should get going. I found moms bookcase yesterday for the first time. She hid it behind the door!!! Time to take things out and see what I can get into. I've been so bad lately!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is not happy with me at all. I really wasn't doing anything that bad, at least I don't think it was. Listen to MY side of the story and then let me know what you think. Well last night mom brought the dog to bed with her. Again, Teaka was on MY bed, even though I don't sleep with mom. So I felt the need to pounce on her, over and over again. Finally Peps came home and the dog left. Thank Goodness! So mom was sleeping most of the night up until 4:00am. Well I saw 2 monsters under the covers, and they kept on moving. I pounced on those, and bit them and did my bunny kicks. Mom was NOT happy. She tried to get me to cuddle. HA! yea right mom. Then I was on her bureau and knocked down the perfume again. Mom got up and I jumped off the bureau and ran up my cat tree.  Mom went back to bed. Her hands moved under the covers and I jumped on the bed, pounced on moms tummy. Mom shot up out of bed, and I ran out of the room! She got up, got some yogurt and her computer. She went on catster for a few minutes and had her yogurt. I sat on the bed like a good boy, wanting some yogurt. Mom gave me a teeny tiny bit on the tip of her finger yesterday. OMG Yogurt is so yummy!!! But she didn't give me any this morning. She said I was begging like a dog. I got mad at that, so I jumped over the laptop screen and landed directly onto the keyboard. Then the computer wouldn't work. Mom was mad. She grabbed me and put my next to her. I bit her hand. Mom got up and after her shower, got dressed. She had her shirt on and was putting her arm thru the sleeve and I raced and attacked the shirt! Mom picked me up and said "NO!" She put me on my platform. She went to pet me and noticed I had yuckies in my eye. She tried to get it out but I wasn't having any of it! I scratched, bit, and bunny kicked mom! She was NOT happy. She put me in the sink, and got the yuckies out. She shut the light and left me there!  Mom went into the kitchen to get my breakfast and I ran down the hall to the door. She said I wasn't going outside. She is not happy with me. She showed me her hand, and its all scratched up! I licked it. I feel bad now. I was just being a bit too wild this morning. 

Mom is super mad at me. I wonder what I could do to make up for it. :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ new friends!!  Mom can't keep up.  I just put it in my diary to be fun, definately didn't expect this much of a response! Mom might actually have to shut off the friend feature for a little bit so she can keep track of my new friends.  

Anyway, mom weighed me the other day, 10 pounds of pure man cat muscle!  I'm not even 10 months old yet. Mom went to the pet store today and saw a full grown kitty that was up for adoption. Mom said the kitty looked huge!!!! Maybe I'm not full grown yet? She thinks that I look so much smaller than that kitty, and the kitty in the store was no way fat. Hmmmm... Mom has so many questions she wants to ask the vet when I have to go for my first year wellness visit. I hope they don't give me shots *GASP!* 

I want to say Hi to all of my new friends!  I have so many, I can't list them all!  Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and don't forget to turn your clocks back an hour!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...poopie on the floor!!  I either missed the litterbox or had a large dingleberry on my floofy pants. Mom wasn't mad. It only happened that one time. Mom does need to put more litter in my box though. 

I was hungry this morning so I decided to wake mom up. First I walked all over her face, then I jumped onto her bureau to knock down her perfume. She hates that! She got up and I ran for my cat tree, she caught me though. I haven't had the need to wake up mom in a while. 

So mom has this idea, of feeding me raw food. She is a little leary about it. She finally has a good schedule going on with me. She would hate to screw that up. Mom really wants to save some money. Canned food is so expensive.  Anyway, she might buy a small bag of Stella and Chewys Raw and see how I do. 

Do any of my friends eat a totally raw diet? Do you like it? What does your vet think about it?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did it again, only this time I did it all by myself! I jumped into the tub with the water. Mom didn't noticed until I walked by doing the sprinkle dance. She felt my paws, all wet! Mom said I'm so weird! I'm not weird, am I?  Anyway, mom had a hard time getting onto catster yesterday. Stupid work computer kept on freezing up all the time. She was going to after work but she felt the need to clean. She vacuumed the living room, my high chair, kitchen chair, and the hallway runner. All full of white fur.. My fur! hehehee Even though mom brushes me, I still shed. 

So I told mom this morning that I want to make new friends. Since she won't let me outside to see the stray kitties, I figure I make new friends on catster! I want to be popular! Anyone want to be my friend?!?!? Maybe I should write a purrsonal ad. Does Catster have a newspaper? What should I write?  

Hunter
9 month old DMH seeks friends young and old.
No romantic inquiries need apply (my mom is the only one for me!)
Contact: pawmail via catster #1129599 or add me as a friend!

So what do you guys think? I think everyone should jump on the wagon, Lets make some friends!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ...well sort of. Mom just got out of the shower and there was about an inch or so of water left in the tub. I jumped onto the edge and stuck my two front paws in. I kept on splashing and making a mess! Then mom picked me up and plopped me into the tub. I walked around a bit, and then kind of like froze. I didn't know what I was supposed to do! Mom picked me up and put me on the floor. Then I did the sprinkle dance! I walked a step, then shook a leg, walked another, shook another leg. Mom was getting splashed with all of the water! My poor paws were all wet! At least this shows mom I'm a big boy and probably would do well in a bath! 

Anyway, mom is still kind of mad at me. I'm trying to be on her good side. I'll wear her down with my cute, and charming personality. Hehehe

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom came home and usually i'm hanging out on Cate's highchair, or I'm snoozin in my cat tree. I wasn't in those places. Mom checked the kitchen chairs, beds, and bathrooms. I wasn't there either. Mom shook my treats. I wasn't having any of it. Mom quietly started to freak out. She checked the cabinets, and even the refridgerator! She checked the washer, dryer. I wasn't there either! Now mom ran outside and checked underneath the back porch, not there. She checked the front porch, nope not there either! Mom walked back inside and there I was, waltzing back into the kitchen.  Mom grabbed me and gave me a huge hug! She is so mad, she made me wear my dingle! Now I look like a dork.  

Mom is SO mad at me!!!  So I jumped ontop of the hutch. This way she can't get me and put me in time out. I was bad...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was hoping things on Catster would be different this morning. Doesn't look that way. Again, mom feels that I should acknowledge myself incase people are confused. This is Hunters diary. If mom had her way, she would do a major overhaul on the website. She wonders if they are having the same problems on Dogster. She could check out Teakas profile and see how that is doing. Nah! She likes being on the cat side of things. Since I'm her boy, I'm her favorite! But Shhhh don't tell Teaka that!

Anyway mom made a list of things that are true about me. With people being so confused she thought she would make a list and at least people could feel confident about what they already know, or about what they read here. 

1. My name is Hunter McFluffyButt and I am a 9 month old DMH or what mom says a Turkish Van mix. (although its not official)

2. I am alive and well, and have not gone or even visited the bridge. 

3. My favorite person is my mom, her name is Kelly.

4. I do infact live with a dog. Its okay, shes cool. She comes up to me daily to get her bath. Smart dog! 

5. My favorite spot is on the tippy top of my cat tree. I'm too big for that tower but it doesn't bother me. 

6. I am a licker. I love to lick anything!

7. I only knead on moms maroon bathrobe!

8. I sometimes eat the dogs food. 

9. Mom has found me sleeping or sitting in: a fishtank (empty of course), the sink, baskets, boxes, a ferret tunnel, inside cabinets, in pant legs, trash cans, a high chair, infant car seat, and the best place of all: on top of the tv inside the entertainment center! I get around!

10. I love to carry things in my mouth! I've been known to carry: Da Bird, straws, medicine cups, dixie cups, fleece dancer, plastic forks/spoons, fake mice, Teakas toys, Teakas pee pads, and anything garbage related. I love garbage!

Now that you know 10 more things about me, I'm sure your day is complete. I gotta go, the empty box to the new vacuum is still around. It makes a great fort!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I figure I put my title with my name in it, so people know that I haven't gone to the bridge, and that I'm okay! Mom is very confused. She read Monidas diary and thought that she had gone to the bridge! But Monida is young like I am, then she read parts of the comments and realized it was SUGAR!! OH NO!!! Thoughts and prayers are with Sugar and family. This is so confusing. All the diary entries are jumbled up under one person. I saw that one diary entry was written by everyone? Or are those just the comments. This is just yucky!  I guess mom is going to have to go to each and every profile to see what is going on. Hopefully mom can send something nice to Sugars family and that doesn't get screwed up! She also read someone elses diary and it was actually Kaci Sunshines! Ack. Mom has some investigating to do.  

Don't forget about me! I'm here, not at the bridge, i'm not sick. Maybe I'll stop writing in my diary until HQ figures things out.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom needs a new alarm clock! She woke up late again! 15 minutes before she had to go to work! She was running around trying to get her Halloween outfit to look good. Mom was supposed to be an 80's Rocker Chick, but everyone at work told her she looked like Snookie from the Jersey Shore. Mom doesn't like that idea. Oh well. At least mom made an effort!  Check her out and tell me what you think! Its just her top half, but mom doens't look like Snookie does she??

(you might have to copy and paste that into your browser)

Anyway, I slept for like 5 hours yesterday afternoon! Mom went to bed at 9:15 and I was still sleeping! Mom had a hard time sleeping so around 3:30am we cuddled for a little while. I hardly ate my dinner. Mom doens't know why, maybe she forgot about the dog food again! Oh and tomorrow guess what I can have? KIBBLE!!! Mom has to buy me some food tomorrow and Auntie a Birthday present! I love the weekends, I get to hang out with mom!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is actually at work today.  She woke up super late though! 10 minutes before she had to leave!  She told me she could of stayed in bed all day! Anyway, this weekend mom has to get me more cat food. I haven't had my Weruva for a whole week! I miss it. I love my Weruva. Mom was thinking of trying me on cheaper cat food. She wants to save money. On the other hand, she knows she has a good thing going and doesn't know if she would want to screw that up. Since I'm such a picky boy, with moms luck i probably wouldn't eat it anyway. Although I could eat my kibble all the time. mmmm love me some kibble! Yea she knows, kibble is bad. yadda yadda yadda.

Mom thinks I stopped growing. She hasn't really noticed a difference in my size. Although sometimes she says I weight a ton! I say its all muscle. I have grown taller because my tail doesn't drag on the floor anymore! I'm not a giant cat by any means. Mom thinks I'll be maybe 12-13 pounds full grown. I have to weigh at least 10-11 pounds by now. Mom hasn't weighed me in a while. 

I jumped super high yesterday! In the kitchen we have a corner hutch with memz china in it. Well yesterday I jumped on the table, then jumped on top of the hutch!!! I was about 6 maybe 7 feet high! Mom is amazed.  She doesn't know how I do it. 

Mom is going to dress up tomorrow for Halloween! I'm sure she is the only one at work who will but she is going to be an 80's rocker chick! I can't wait to see what mom will look like, she's going to look so silly!!

Thats all the updates for now. I have to go groom Teaka, shes starting to look a bit scruffy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is still sick. She is slowly getting better though! She went to the doctors again yesterday and they took x-rays. (Whatever those are) The doctor said she has bronkitis and a sinus infekshun! I don't know what those are but the doctor gave her medicine.  Her manager at work sent her home yesterday, and mom called out of work today. Mom must really feel like crap if she stayed home. Thinking of crap... I got poopies on my bum again! Mom said I smelled. Oh and guess what... I ate all of Teakas food last night!!! Mom was pretty mad when she woke up and found all of my food still there. Then she realized that she didn't put the dog food away when she went to bed. So shes not mad at me. She said it was her fault! Anyway, I'm gonna go and cuddle with mom. I've been a good cuddlebug lately...

Anyway, Saturday mom got take out. It was chinese! Well when they finished their food, I went into the garbage, found a plastic fork and started running with it to the kitchen!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is even more sick than she was before! I don't know what to do with her. Maybe I'll perform surgery! Mom has no voice. None whatsoever! She couldn't even call me to come eat my breakfast! She had to pick me up to show it to me. But I purred all the way! Mom even went to the Employee Health department in the hospital she works at. The lady said "its probably viral" So mom bought some medicine which isn't working.  I was being a good boy yesterday and this morning. I was playing with my mouse and bouncin up and down on it. I killed it, and hid it under my boogie mat! 

Mom went to work to do the most important part of her job and then she said shes coming home! Plus she can't answer the phones. It would sound like "Me..cal ...cor.s K..ly ..peak.." completely pointless. 

She said she might make me cool pictures on the computer when she gets home, maybe after her nap. She didn't sleep well last night. I hope I don't have to perform surgery on her. Oh well.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my Goodness, mom put me in time out for an hour!!! Okay, so I'll tell you MY side of the story. (Mom you stay out of this!) Well mom came home from work and started to clean Sams cage. Sam is the family LoveBird. Hes a good guy, we're buds! I haven't tried to kill him... well maybe just yesterday. So, Mom had his cage on the table to clean. Usually I sit next to Sam and he give me love bites and I put my nose in his cage. We've become close. Well mom had his door open, I put my head in, Sam freaked out, I jumped about 4 feet in the air, and the cage... well it fell off of the table and onto the floor!!!  Sam was all over the place! Bird seed EVERYWHERE!!! I ran! Mom doesn't know where I hid, but after the birdseed was cleaned up, I came out. Then I tried to be all lovey, you know, trying to be all cute! It didn't work. Mom pointed at me and said, "TIME OUT!" I followed her to the bedroom, where she shut the door. :( I heard moms car leave. She came back and I was still in time out! I guess she fixed Sams cage and put him back where he goes. Finally she let me out. I ate part of my dinner and went on the kitchen table. Mom was talking to Memz and I tried to be all nice and cute, I gave her headbutts! 

Well Teaka and I wrestled for a little bit and then we both went to lay down on the couch. Mom fell asleep on the other couch and then off to bed she went. When she woke up this morning... OH BOY, was she irritated. I knocked the phone off the table, the rug was upside down, my toys were everywhere, I knocked things off of moms bureau again. I was bad!  Mom says I need to be sedated, whatever that means!  Anyway, Mom is feeling okay today, still has a cold though. She even has to train those ladies again!! If they don't get it this time, mom doesn't know what she is going to do! So, no catster for her today, or tomorrow for that matter. 

Hope everyone has a good day. And be good, you don't want to end up in Time Out like I was! No fun at all!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night when mom went to bed, she had water coming out of her eyes! I knew she needed me, so I ran up to her, and pawed at her leg. She was too busy to notice me. :( so I jumped on the chair, threw my front paws around her neck and she picked me up. Those water balls are salty when they come out of moms eyes. Tasted funny! Anyway, she was sad. We went to bed and I cuddled with her for a couple of minutes. Mom was shocked. I hardly ever sleep with mom on her bed. She was happy I was there. Anyway, she woke up this morning and mom is sick! She sounds funny, and she has major boogies!  Maybe mom should use some of that white powder she puts in my food for my boogies! I'll suggest that when she gets home. My mom is crazy, she doesn't feel good and she went to work anyway. Now thats dedication! I hope mom feels good enough to play with me when she gets home. Anyway, I'll take care of her. You can just call me Doctor Hunter MD!

Mom has a super duper headache, so she told me to keep my diary entry short. I kept mom up again last night with my yeowling. Mom doesn't know what to do, besides to sleep with ear plugs. Mom was kind of mad this morning, shes tired and has a bad headache. She went to work anyway. Silly mom! 

Not much else to say. Hope everyone has a great Monday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I haven't been on catster that much lately.  This morning we found out that Athena went to the Rainbow Bridge last night. Mom is sad. Its not an easy thing to go through.  

I'm not allowed to go on catster today. Mom put me in time out.(she is making an exception for my diary entry) I was being super bad last night. I didn't really let mom sleep. I kept on yeowling at the spare bedroom. I really don't like it when mom keeps the door shut. So Finney's mom sent us the link to the Turkish Van episode of Cats 101! Oh My Goodness, that was me on tv!!! Mom is pretty sure I'm a mix between a Turkish Van/Turkish Angora, and maybe a Ragdoll. Although I could be just a mix with a van color pattern. But that episode was me completely!  I even have the 'Mark of God' that Turkish Vans have.  

Anyway, things are going well with me, mom is trying not to jinx it. I hope mom takes me out of time out so I can play with my feather flyer.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So after my boogie incident yesterday, I didn't eat lunch. I took a well deserved nap! However, I ate ALL of my dinner. All of it! It was lamb. YUMMY!!! This morning mom was getting my breakfast ready. I was hungry! So she put my food down and I went to town. This has never happened. Mom usually has to hand feed me first and then I eat it out of the bowl. Not this morning. I was eating with gusto! So good. It was my Weruva. YUMMY!!!  Mom isn't going to say that I'm back to my old self again, she doesn't want to jinx it. Lets see how the rest of the week goes. I have an incentive... Kibble on the weekend! YAY!  I love me some kibble... mmm mmm good! 

Mom wants to appologize to all of my catster friends. She has been slacking and hasn't really read diaries, and hasn't congratulated anyone on their birthdays. She is going to try to keep up. Mom doesn't know how some people do it with 30,000 friends. I only have 140 and I find it hard. Geesh!

I'm 9 months old today!! I'm almost a grown up! Oh boy... I wonder if there are any grown up things I can break. We'll just have to wait and see!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Guess what... I ATE ALL MY BREAKFAST!!!! Mom was so proud. I was hanging out in the highchair for baby Cate when mom came home. I've been super clingy. Mom gave me some lamb for lunch. I haven't had any yet. Not really hungry. I just wanna be with my mom! I jumped on her bureau and knocked everything down, almost spilt moms ginger ale. We cuddled for a minute and then mom noticed it... Boogies in my nose!!! She was disgusted. She got the boogies out and I look so much better. Maybe it'll help with my sniffer. Today is a good day, and that makes mom feel so much better!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I woke up mom bright and early! 4:00am! I kept on jumping on the bureau and knocking everything down. Mom got up twice and put me in bed with her. I just wanted to play! Finally she sat up in bed and we cuddled. Well after a while, mom went into the shower. She locked me out!! I'll show her! So I ran and got my straw and I was bringing it to the shower. Well mom saw me with the straw so she went to get dressed. She shut the door again! I was starting to get mad... I opened the door a bit but I couldn't get my straw in! Mom opened the door all the way and I just layed there waiting for my servant (aka mom) to get my straw for me. She did! HAHAHAHAHA I got her trained! Mom went back into the bathroom to do her hair. I was starting to get hungry so I told her "Meow". She started to laugh and said "Hunty you meow like a girl!" She told me that I'm a typical boy but I have a girly voice. Well I jumped on my platform and layed down. Mom gave me the best massage!!! Oh boy it was lovely! I could of stayed there all day. Then I heard those words. Those wonderful words I hear everyday.  " Hunty, Breakfast!" I came running! 

Mom noticed I ate pretty much all of my dinner! I just left the chunks. I'm dont like chunks in my food. But she was happy with what I ate anyway. She gave me my Weruva and put my Lysine in it. Plus she gave me some treats. Mmmm Mmmm Good! Oh and mom also noticed I've been hiding my vegetables in my water! I put pieces of pumpkin and carrots in there. She doesn't know how I do it. I'm a sneaky lil boy...

Things are getting better with me. Slowly though, which is okay. Time to go find my straw and dixie cup. Gotta go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Saturday morning, I let mom sleep in til about 8:00. Shes lucky that I did wake her up earlier. She went out and bought me my food and some powder called Lysine! It doesn't taste bad. Mom has been putting it in my food everyday. I've been eating just not as much as I have been. I eat maybe 3/4 a can a day. Mom left out some kibble for me over the weekend. Thats gone. But she won't refill my bowl :(  Mom said that kibble is for the weekends only! 

Yesterday Auntie and Uncle came over with baby Cate. Well now that baby Cate is walking, oh boy! She tried to get me. I had to jump on the table. Then mom figured out that I don't like men. Pepz is okay, although he calls me "cat" how degrading! I know Pepz doesn't like me much, he thinks i'm mean. I just don't like men. Mom is my favorite person!! Memz is pretty nice too.  I'm a lover, lover of all women! 

Anyway, mom got up in the middle of the night to make sure I ate something. I was sleeping when she went to bed. I ate a little bit of my soft food. Of course I was awake so I followed her to the kitchen and I streched up until I tapped her waist. Thats my signal for mom to pick me up. Well she did and then put me down, she was going back to bed. I jumped on the bed before she did, and I layed down. She said  "Hunty, this is my bed. You have beds all over the house, and you pick mine!" She crawled over me and layed down. I cuddled next to mom until she fell asleep, then I ran up my cat tree. 

Things are "okay" with me. I'm not eating like I was, but at least I'm eating some, which is better than last Thursday when I ate nothing. Mom still can't figure why I go on hunger strikes. Oh well, she is just content knowing I'm eating at the moment.

I did it!! Mom said I look like a sausage! 

I ate a little bit! However, mom had to hand feed me. It was only about 1/4 a can but its better than nothing! Mom gave me some treats, I ate those, and I nibbled on a couple of Teakas kibbles. Mom really thinks that I can't smell my food. I was being super lovey. I wasn't even sleeping when she came home. I'm hanging out with memz on the couch right now.  Mom feels a little better now that I ate some. I even played with my straw! Maybe tomorrow will be even better, mom is going to buy me some stuff to make me feel better. I hope it works!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess mom spoke too soon and too highly of me. I barely ate my breakfast this morning. Mom came home to all my chicken in my plate. It was all yucky, so mom threw it away. She gave me some of my buffalo for lunch. I was sleeping, didn't want to get up. Mom says that I look like I don't feel good. When I did finally get my lazy bum up, I didn't want my buffalo either! Mom is a little worried. She put some of my Eagle Pack on it, thinking maybe I would eat it. I just licked my eagle pack and went to sleep on the couch. Maybe its just the day? 

Mom is so stressed out at work this week that I know she doesn't need a sick kitty at home. Oh and another thing, she brought me a spoon with some of my buffalo on it, I kind of smacked my lips together. Well, maybe not. Mom doesn't know how to describe it. It sounded like when a little kid has a cold, and they suck up the boogies and you can hear it in their nose. It sounded like that. But I don't have any goop coming out of my nose or eyes. I'm not sneezing. I just don't have an appetite today. I was perfectly fine yesterday. I ate everything! I played all last night too! Hmmm... Mom told me that she wants to bring me to the vets (GASP!) and have them do a whole work up on me. She can't handle worrying anymore. She is going to give herself an ulcer. However, I know mom can't financially afford to have them do tons of tests and bloodwork on me right now. She doesn't know what to do. 

I know mom doesn't feel good herself. Shes super tired, cranky, worried, and really needs a vacation. I haven't even cuddled up next to her at all lately. Hopefully its just one of those days and tomorrow will be better. I know mom was thinking of putting some hard food down because she knows that I need to eat something pretty soon. She really doesn't want to do that. Maybe she is just paranoid. She wants me to be like Hanna, her angel kitty. Mom could read Hanna like a book. She doesn't understand me at all.  I'm not Hanna. I'm Hunter! My mom is crazy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is so proud of me. You won't believe what I did. Mom doesn't even believe it. This is the first time I've ever done this... I ate all of my breakfast, all of my lunch AND ALL OF MY DINNER!!! YAHOO!!! This morning when mom got up she noticed not a morsel was left in my bowl. No kibble = I eat all of my food! Although I don't eat it in one sitting, mom is super happy. Thats a can and a half a day! I love Lamb. Thats what I had yesterday, YUMO!!  She is so relieved that she doesn't have to worry about my food anymore. We have a good thing going and are going to stick with it! Plus, I get 4 different proteins and 4 different brands of food! Now mom can relax... yea right! LOLOL

So my memz didn't sleep last night and I kept on whining to get in the room and play underneath the bed. Well she opened the door and she was organizing her pictures. I found this really big paper bag. SO MUCH FUN!!!  Only problem is, I kept mom awake. Mom was not happy with me. I jumped in the bag, then jumped on top of it, I tried to get underneath it. I had a blast! So mom has been up on and off since about 3:30am. I was in my 'crazy' mode and have been ever since. Mom is super tired and she has to continue training two new ladies today. So again, no catster today :(  Oh well.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did it again! I took off my dingle! Mom came home yesterday and I was waiting for her in the entry way, with no dingle! She said " Hi Lovey, where is your dingle?" Memz said I took it off. Luckily we found it, and its in moms bedroom. So its kind of useless for me to wear one. No dingle for me!!! Mom is going to ask about micro chipping. She is afraid since I always run to the doors to escape! Now, without my dingle mom has noticed that I have some sort of ruff or mane gong on. Its very slight though. We had a grooming session last night. Fur everywhere! I even picked up my Zoom Groom and ran so mom couldn't brush me! heheheh. I pick up everything with my mouth, straws, toys, brushes, paper, pens, dingles. Everything! 

Oh and mom found out a secret! If I don't have any kibble, I eat all of my breakfast, and lunch! Not so much my dinner, I think mom gives me too much. Lately mom comes home to an empty dish. She is so proud of me. She is saving my kibble for the weekends when she knows she won't be home alot. Mom is always out and about on the weekends.  She is so happy with how I'm doing! She just has to figure out how to make me drink more.  I meow when I walk to the litter box but I pee like a champ! My pees are like baseball size. Mom even watched me in my box and listened to me pee. It was like a faucet! hehehehe. I'm a vocal boy anyway, so maybe thats just how I roll? hmmmm Mom was thinking of getting me a water drinking fountain, but they're all plastic. Mom wants a stainless steel one.  Any ideas guys?  Well mom has got to go, she is training two new employees today. Shes not looking forward to it, so no catster for her today, or tomorrow. Until she gets home.  :)  

Have a great Wednesday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom woke up Saturday to me licking her forehead. She pet me and realized I did it again! I took off my dingle. Mom has yet to see how I do this, but shes very curious.  She was excited that she found it this time, and she put it back on.  So far so good. Its been a day and a half and I still have it on! When I go get my check up at the Vets (GASP!) she is going to see how much it is to get me micro-chipped. 

Well yesterday I was racing throught he house like a crazy boy, and I knocked over a lamp. The shade went flying and I broke the light bulb. This is the best part, no one even got mad at me! So I continued to run around like a lunatic. It was great! I didn't even get sent to time out! I think everyone is getting used to me breaking things. 

I scratched mom up pretty good this morning. I was on the top of my cat tree minding my own business, then mom grabbed my toe hair and said "Breakfast Hunty." Yea well I don't like it when people touch my back toes. I don't like it when people touch my tummy a lot either. So, I bit her hand, and used my back legs to bunny kick her hand! She was bleeding! She went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She was going to leave when I started to smell my buffalo! I followed her to the kitchen, she picked me up and put me where my food is. I didn't want it. So she shook my Eagle pack, I came running!  I haven't had that in a couple of days! mmmmm Good! She put a tiny bit on my food and I went to town! Then she left. :(  I kinda feel bad I scratched my mom! I hope shes not mad at me. :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom completely forgot about this song, its perfect for halloween!  She still isn't thrilled over how my page looks, thinks it looks to "nice" for a holiday like Halloween. Mom wants it to look scary. I ate all of my breakfast! Clean plate again! Mom is shocked. I might become a lil piggie, its just breakfast that I clean my plate. Can't seem to finish all of my dinner though.   Anyway, mom is so excited she got Thriller by Michael Jackson! So now shes off to find something to eat for dinner, and maybe search for some scary background page for my profile. Since I've been so good lately, mom is so relaxed and isn't worried about me at all! Plus, she is so fun to play with now. She doesn't pick me up and "inspect me". I hate when she did that. Now, we play hide and seek, and Attack!  My favorite game is Attack. That is when I hide under the bed and attack moms feet!  So much fun!  Alright time for moms dinner.  Gotta go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, mom finally figure out how to make my page all nice and pretty! Take a look! No frames! Its very bright, compared to what I had before. I love it!  Mom is so smart! And, she even changed my music. Now, if only she could figure out how to make a banner, I'd be all set! Mom has been trying and trying to make my page the way she wants it. It just hit her like a ton of bricks! It was so easy too. Sometimes I think mom over analyzes things. She thinks about it over and over, how to make things work when its really simple! I've been a good boy lately. Mom can't wait to make my page all Christmas-y!

Mom doesn't know where it was, but I told her I found it and that I carried it to the livingroom to show memz and pepz! It figures huh, I find it after mom buys me another. Well at least she has a back up collar. lol  I've been such a good boy lately. I've been eating all of my food, plus my kibble. Mom just wishes I wouldn't wake her up at 4:00 in the morning.  She'll just have to get used to it! hahahaha.  Things are going good with me. Mom has got my food down to a science, no problems with my poopie, AND I only sleep from 7-9am and then again from 2-7pm.  I'm up ALL night long. I'm a crazy boy and mom loves it! 

Happy Tuesday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday it was parents day! Well according to Finney and Lacey it was. I went along with it and I hung out with mom most of the day! We cuddled and I gave her headbutts! I thought I saw something move on my cat tree. I had to investigate! So I ran all the way up top, and there it was... a monster! Mom came to check it out, she didn't see anything. Just like those ghosts in the fan, she didn't see those either! Ugh, I swear my mom is blind. (geez, thanks Hunty) MOM!!! Stop writing in my diary! Anyway, the monster moved to my hide out, I tried to get it. Missed! It was going to get my toys! I ran down my cat tree and plopped into my hammock. HA! Can't get my toys when I'm laying on them. Neener neener neener! :P  The monster shot back up to my tower. Noooo! I had a hard time getting out of my hammock, once I did, back up the cat tree! And then you won't believe what happened, it opened the door and vanished into the wooden thing where the TV is. We have ghosts in the fan and monsters in the Tv... Great! Whats next, goblins in the freezer? They better not come out on my watch, I'll be waiting!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright mom bought me a new collar. Its light green with white and blue circles on it. Makes me look like a dork. Mom was going to buy me a skull one, but she didn't want people to think I was a devil cat. Oh and Auntie gave mom this little capsule I can put on my collar. Someone just opens it up and it has a tiny piece of paper on it with my name, reward, phone number and city/state. BUT, its purple! Thats the only color they had. Now, I have a dorky collar, with a girly silent capsule dingle thing. :(  Mom said its only temporary until they find my other cool collar. 

Mom came home today and she said I was shedding like crazy. She brushed me with my zoom groom, I love it! She took 3 full brushes of hair out! Anyway, mom is super tired. Maybe I'll go and cuddle next to her.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its gone. We can't find it anywhere! So today mom is going to buy me a very manly collar. I was thinking one with spikes, that way when I attack Teaka, Oh boy will she be surprised! hahahaha although the ones with spikes aren't the safecat ones. Thats what I had before. It fell off a few times. Is it better to have one with a buckle? But if I get caught somewhere I could choke! Hmmm mom doesn't really know what kind to buy.  So later on mom is going to call the vets to see if she could get another rabies dingle for me. Shes not sure though because here in NH they are numbered according to the shot you get. She thinks thats the way it works anyway.

Now, about my name dingle. What should mom put on it? Before it said:

Hunter
moms phone number
city, NH.  

Is that enough? Mom was thinking of putting "reward" on it somewhere. That way, incase I escape again, people would be like " Oh this person is willing to pay me to bring back their cat, YAY!" and then hopefully bring me home. But, with those darn dingles, space is limited. Also mom was wondering if they have those metal dingles that just weave into the collar so they don't clang around. Hmmm.

Do any of my friends have any ideas? Mom is going to search the 'net to see what she finds!

Purrz & Licks,
Sir Hunty McFluffyPants

P.S Mom just called the vets and its not required by law in NH for me to wear the rabies dingle!! YAY!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its gone! My pretty blue fishy collar is missing!  I had it on when mom went to work. She came home, and its gone! Mom thinks I got caught somewhere and the collar came loose. Mom is worried that I might of ate it. But I'm acting fine, I ate my lunch. No problems. I had mom, memz and pepz search the entire house 3 times to find my dingle. No luck. It had my tag, and my rabies tag on it. If its not found by the end of the week, mom is going to have to call the vets to get another tag. I'm extra sneaky without my dingle. I'm so quiet when I walk now, can't hear any tags clanging. I'm a super quiet stealthy predator.. RAWR!  They have to be extra careful this week to make sure I don't sneak out. I won't have my collar. Where could it be?? 

Do I need a collar? I'm an inside kitty. But what if I escape again? Mom thinks I need one, but it makes me look like a dork. I'm a manly cat. Maybe I'll have mom get me a collar with spikes on it or a Harley Davidson one! I have to look tough!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom had a relaxing weekend, well besides her Migraine on Saturday. I, on the other hand, was bouncin off the walls! You know what I like to do, I like to pretend I don't like my food. It freaks mom out! HAHAHAHA.  Anyway, I didn't bother mom much on Saturday, I sensed she wasn't feeling that good. I layed down with her for a little bit, I tried to make her feel better. After she ate some food, and had some medicine she felt tons better! I got her up bright and early on Sunday. I knocked things off of her bureau and kept on pouncing on her. She got up, fed me breakfast and guess what she did... She went back to bed! Ugh Mom!! So I ate a bit, went in her room and played with my tail. I love to play with my tail, I go around and around and around like a crazy boy!  So much fun!  I didn't sleep much Saturday, so I took a long nap on Sunday from 12-5! But once I was up. I was running!! I run all over the house, even by myself without Teaka. Mom thinks I have a couple screws lose, whatever that means! Oh and mom did laundry yesterday, she put all of her clothes in this white thing called a dryer. Looks like a nice place to hide out! Mom kept on telling me " NO! Hunty, you'll hurt yourself"  How can I hurt myself mom? Its just a cave with a door... geez. She wouldn't let me inside. So I bit her hand. HAHAHA

So last night mom went to bed early (she gets up super early too) and she used the ear plugs so she could sleep. Well I guess she didn't hear me on her bureau. I knocked down everything!!! The two remotes, her new glasses, her old glasses, and the lotion. Then I jumped on the other bureau, and knocked down the nail polishes! So much fun! Mom was too tired to be mad this morning so she picked everything up. I was being so lovey! I stretched up against her and she picked me up. She said I'm getting heavy. Anyway, mom got ready and took a shower. I layed on the floor like the good boy I am. Then, she fed me breakfast and put my Eagle Pack on top. Mmmmm I love that stuff, so good!  Then mom ran out the door. :( I miss her. 

Mom keeps on telling me that I need a woman. Memz says that Teaka is my woman! Mom would really like another kitty although she knows she won't get one. But then again, can she really handle two? I think she has her hands full with me! I'm her boy, and no one is going to get between me and my mom! I'm a Mommas boy and proud of it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Memz took mom out to dinner last night and they went to the pet store. Mom didn't take me, I was pretty upset. BUT she did buy me these 3 orange slimy things that go in the fish tank. Oh Boy, they're so much fun to look at!  Anyway, mom told me her adventure in the petstore, she really didn't know how to feel about it. Well she told me about the kitties that needed homes. One kitty was a long haired black one named Wilson. Well mom said that Wilson must of weight at least 25 pounds if not more. She has never seen a kitty that big! Mom felt kinda bad she told me, the kitty had no room to move, and it could barely stand up it was so fat. 

Then Memz talked to a lady that worked there, saying that she needs small sized kibble for Teaka. Mom told Memz that they don't really sell the kind of food Teaka eats here. Well the lady started saying how Science diet was the best and how the kibbles are so small, then she was saying that Royal Canin has a special formula for Yorkshire Terriers, yadda yadda yadda. Mom told the lady that she only buys grain-free foods. The lady wouldn't shut up. Kept on insisting that Science Diet is formulated by veterinarians. Finally mom said 'Ok, Thank you for your help' and walked away.  Ohy Vey! Mom told me that the lady actually looked at the ingredients to Science Diet and she said "corn, oh, thats a grain" and put the bag back! hahahahaha.  Thank Goodness mom was with memz, otherwise Memz probably would of bought Royal canin and Teaka would be the size of a house! Mom really hates talking to employees of retail petstores. She would rather just do what she has to do, and get out!

On a more positive note, I licked my plate clean at lunch. YUM! Mom fed me "cowboy cookout" SO good. For dinner mom gave me the rest of the can. I just left a pile of the chunks for mom this morning, but overall, I ATE IT ALL UP!! That means, I ate breakfast (besides my pile of veggies), Lunch and Dinner!! Thats a can and a half! YAHOO!!! Mom was SO proud of me, she gave me extra treats this morning!  

Oh I gotta go, Teaka is up, time to wrestle!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So Mom has a lot of work today that needs to be done. No hanging around catster. Shes addicted so its a problem for her. hahahaha Well yesterday I ate all of my breakfast, ate all of my lunch and left half of my dinner there. :( No mattter what mom does, she can't win!  Maybe I'm just a can a day sort of guy. She is trying to push for a can and a half, its just not working out. I'm not that hungry mom, geez! Anyway, we played so much this morning. I got mom up at 4:30am! And It was soooo cold too.  She actually had her heating blanket on. I was too busy with the monster under the covers. They kept on moving, and I was pouncing everywhere. I pounced on moms feet, legs, arms, shoulders. It was a blast! Mom really didn't think so. 

Anyway, Mom has work to do, big meeting tomorrow with her director. She has to get some things done. So she said I can't write in my diary anymore today. Awww Shucks! 

Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is so happy! I hate my breakfast yesterday, licked the plate clean. Ate part of my lunch. And ate all of my dinner, plus some kibble! YAY!!!! I even love that eagle pack stuff. Mom doesn't even have to put it on my food. I just lap it up off the counter. It tastes so yummy! Mom and I wanted to say a big thank you to Alex's Mommy! She recommended the Eagle Pack Transition and so far so good. I've been super lovey with mom, I'm eating, and my fur is super shiny! All because of some little powder. Mom thinks its a miracle. However, she is not really celebrating yet. She needs to figure out how to make me eat all of my lunch. Its my nap time from like 4-7. Every day at 7:00pm I wake up. Sometimes I'll eat the rest of my lunch, but most of the time I won't. So then she has to throw it away and give me dinner. But yesterday, she didn't throw it away. She kept it for my dinner too. I ate all of it plus some kibble. Maybe mom will give me 1/4 of a can for lunch instead of 1/2. And 3/4 for dinner? Is that too much? Hmmmm... Mom needs to think about that.  Anyway, other than that, things are going good! Mom hasn't checked my poop today, but yesterday things were starting to come back to normal. Not there yet, but its getting close. Mom is only feeding me stuff she'll know I'll eat. Tonight its... Rabbit! Mmm Mmm good! :) 

Mom is feeling so much better about how I'm eating, and is hardly worried at all. (thats a first) 

Help me in saying a big "THANK YOU" to Alex, Finney and Lacey's Mom. She is great!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday for my 8 month birthday mom bought the replacement for my favorite toy. My Feather Flyer! OMG I was so excited. I went into the bag and found the new feathers! YAY they aren't boy colors but they're not girl colors either. Yellow and Orange. I can deal with that. Thanks mom! We played and played and I grabbed the feather a couple of times with my mouth and kept on growling at teaka. It was so much fun! I was being super lovey with mom yesterday and this morning. Last night mom was brushing her teeth before bed and had the door shut. I opened the door!!!! Mom was amazed. So this morning mom went to unlock the door to leave and saw the way I do it! I stretch up on my hind legs, and I fiddle with he door knob with both paws, until it opens a bit. Then I nudge it open with my paw and nose and poof, in the room I go! Mom is thinking she needs those safety baby door knob thingamajigs! When I stand on my hind legs, I can read mommys waist! 

Anyway this morning mom was in the bathroom doing her hair. Usually I jump in the sink to be near her. Well she left the faucet dripping. I like it, and was playing with the water. Well she put the faucet on more! I took a bath by myself!!! I was all wet!!! I was rolling around in the sink with the water, and drinking it, flinging it around. I made a mess!! Mom thinks I got water up my nose a lil bit cuz I freaked out and jumped out of the sink and sneezed a couple of times! Everything was so wet! 

Even though I'm a picky boy, I always manage to make mom smile. I hope she comes home soon so we can play with my feather flyer!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm getting to be a big boy! 4 more months and I'll be 1!! YAY! Happy birthday to me! Mom doesn't think I'm growing anymore. She weighed me yesterday, still 9 pounds. Maybe I'm going to be on the smaller side. She sure didn't think so a couple of months ago. Anyway, I tried to kill Teaka this morning. But she fought back and bit me in the jugular!! She didn't break the skin, it was all in good fun until mom freaked out and split us up! Sometimes mom says " Go get him Teaka!" because I always attack her and she never gets the upper hand. hehehehe thats the way I like it! Anyway, mom is going out shopping after work for some stuff so I can eat better. Maybe she'll buy me a toy!  Oh I hope so! I've been a good boy all weekend! 

Happy 8 month birthday to me!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I had a lil tantrum and didn't want to eat my food. It was yucky!!  I tried to tell mom that I was hungry so I kept on going to my food dish, but I wouldn't eat it. Well after some help and advice from Alex's mommy, my mom cleaned everything, and threw the yucky food away. Then she opened a new food for me. Merrick BG 100% beef! OMG it was sooooo yummy! I hate the whole half a can! Mom was so impressed. But you all know what happens when I eat a new food. Yup, I had pasty poopies last night. Well, mom woke up this morning and she could smell the poopies! Ewww! So she cleaned my box and found it! Oh boy it was yucky! I wanted to be with mom so I layed on her bed, but she could still smell the poopies. So she lifted my tail and found a speck of poopie on my beautiful white fur! YUCK HUNTY!!!! Thats what mom said. She was grossed out. She took a wet paper towel and wiped my bum! I hate when she wipes my bum! Then I was all wet, so I had to clean myself. And I licked where the poopie was!!! Mom almost gagged. Hey moms gotta do these things, imagine if she didn't, I'd be walking around with poopie on my bum! Oh so last night mom opened another can of Addiction Rabbit. Mmmm Mmmm Good! So yummy, I ate half of that can too! So thats a can and a half I ate yesterday. 

This morning mom got up early, and after the poopie incident we played on my cat tree. I fell into the hammock again! We played hide and seek. Mom would turn left, and then look and me and say Boo! I tried to whack her everytime she said that! Boy it was fun! She was sitting on the floor with her jeans on and I stuffed my head under her legs, I didn't want her to go!!! :(  She started to get up, and I clung to her leg! She picked me up, and then I attacked! She says i'm being too aggressive lately. Anyway, it was time for mom to go to work. She gave me my treats and out the door she went. ;(  That was 3 hours ago. Maybe I'll eat my breakfast. Its Weruva. I always have to pick out the stupid carrots and pieces of pumpkin. Yuck. Have a good weekend everyone!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom and I were playing with my favorite toy ever, my feather flyer! I broke it! I jumped up, caught the feather with my mouth and I broke the feather in half. Mom thought about cutting off the broken section, but then it would be too sharp for me. I kept on trying to get it while mom tried to fix it. I was pawing at her, I jumped on the couch, chair, counter, table. Then mom made the decision and told me I broke it. She put it in a plastic bag and threw it away! Oh no! I was so sad... she said she is going to buy a replacement this weekend for me.  Thank goodness those feathers are replaceable! I hope she picks out boy colors. I don't want no pink or purple feathers. Bleh! 

Mom thinks I could be part Ragdoll. I'm starting to get a 'ruff' whatever that is. And I want to be held all the time now. I paw at mom to have her pick me up. Sometimes I'll just stand infront of her, look up, meow, and she picks me up. I like to hang out on her shoulder, especially with my front half handing down her back, and my butt near her face! Hahahah  She hates when I whack her with my tail though.  It doesn't matter what breed I am, mom just loves researching and finds it very interesting.  

Teaka was in the bed last night... again! I wish that dog would sleep somewhere else. I'm supposed to sleep with mom, not the smelly dog. She sleeps under the covers too! What am I supposed to do? So, I pounced on her! Mom didn't like that one bit, she says I'm starting to be too rough with her. Mom pushed me off the bed! How dare she?!?! That is MY bed, and I'm supposed to be the one allowed on it, not Teaka! I hope she sleeps in her own bed tonight. 

Maybe I'll go and say sorry.... NAH!! hahahaha

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I was being so silly. I like it when my toys are on the floor behind my cat tree. Mom likes my toys inside my hammock. So, she picked up all my toys and put them in the hammock. Well I had enough of that! I went and flung all of my toys out. Then, I started to climb in my hammock so mom couldn't put my toys away! hahahah! I'm sneaky! Then, I plopped in! Mom was shocked. I never layed in my hammock before. Mom had to take a picture of it. Check it out, they're on my page. There is one where you can see my bum! I don't know why my mom feels the need to embarrass me! Oh good news, mom found a way to get rid of the night time kibble. Mom feeds me either my NV or Addiction food, half a can before she goes to bed. When she wakes up, its all gone! I haven't had kibble in over a week. YAY!! (does anyone want some Wellness Core?) Maybe mom will save it for a day when she knows she wont be home in time for dinner. 

Anyway, I woke mom up this morning, I didnt pounce on her, I was laying in the bed with mom and licked her face!! She found that weird. I don't normally lay with mom, I prefer my cat tree. She got up early too, so we had time to play. Well I played, she wrote out bills (yuck!). Ever see those sticks humans play with? They use them to put this goop on that white flat stuff. Mom calls them pens. They are so cool!! Mom had one and was using it, well it wouldn't stop moving! I had to get it. So I bit it and mom said "No Hunty, I'll let you have it in a minute" Yea well everytime she says that, 10 minutes go by! So I bit it again! Finally mom gave up and let me have it. Well I grabbed it with my paw (she never saw me do that before!) and I started eating it! She was afraid I'd get that goop all over my cute white face, so she took it away! :( Thats okay, I know where she hid it! Oh and mom found my orange cap that I love to play with. She threw it down the hall, I ran to get it. I was playing with it all over the place, and then mom went to get it. I ran and slid on the floor, grabbed the cap and carried it to my basket, all before mom could get it! She was impressed!  

Mom weighed me last night, still 9 pounds. Even with all the food I'm eating. Haven't gained anything. Hmmmm strange. OHHH and about my litter box. heheheh this makes mom so mad! So mom cleans my litter box twice a day. She does it before she goes to work, and then again before she goes to bed. Well she'll empty my litter box and then after its clean I run in there to do my pee. She'll clean it again, and then I run in there to do my poop (which are fine btw). Mom gets so mad at me!!! I've been doing this for 2 weeks now! Memz thinks its hilarious! I think its funny too! Wow I had a lot to say! I think I'm gonna go and find the fish... we have baby fish ya know!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was so happy, mom was home all weekend with me!! Yesterday she had the windows and doors open, and I went bezerk! I can stand on my hind legs and see out the screened door. Mom got a little scared cuz I was playing with the handle, so she locked the door, just incase I tried to escape again!  I'm a tall boy!  I had bad poops on Sunday, but just like Gump said, I was all better yesterday. I like my Weruva and addiction food the best! The Natures Variety isn't doing much for me. Mom thinks that I do better on foods with high protein. She is having trouble with my feeding schedule, its not consistant and that bothers her. Maybe she'll see how I do this week and if its still off, she might have to make a few adjustments. I haven't been sleeping like I was before. Yesterday I ate a can and a half. Which is a little under what I should be eating. Mom read somewhere that I should be eating 1 ounce for every pound of body weight. Does that sound right? If thats the case I should be eating 9 ounces a day. Unless I gained weight. Mom said she was going to weigh me when she got home. She doesn't think I'm growing too much more. But then again, I still have 4 months until I turn 1 year old. Anyway, mom has to get back to work, she is super busy today!  Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! I know I did, I spent it with my Mom!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Morning Hunters mom here,
     Hunter is currently in the kitchen batting around some sort of large bottle cap. My fellow catsters kept on telling me, becareful what you wish for. Well you're not joking! He has been non stop since yesterday! I don't even know if he slept last night. I don't think so because he has been trying to get under my covers all night so he can attack the dog. He has been a lunatic since 3:30am.  He won't let me sleep and its 6:46am on a weekend! This is just wrong. Oh and I think he became a little pig over night. He ate a can and a half of food yesterday. That is a lot for him!  It took a while for his breakfast to be finished, but overall he ate a can and a half! So I woke up and I fed him breakfast this morning, Its pretty much gone. I fed him weruva, thinking, oh he'll sleep. yea right. He is making such a rukus in the kitchen. I know I'm going to have to feed him again. So that'll mean today, 2 cans! Good Lord.  But seriously right now if I could give him a sedative I would. Oh I almost forgot about his crashing incident last night. I don't know where he was, but I heard this crash, and pictures everywhere. Then he comes up to me and is like "i'm sorry, pet me please" What a needy boy! Well I think I'm going to try to go back to bed, but its almost 7am, so I don't know how that'll work out. With my luck he'll pounce on my face.  

Ugh, so tired!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So last night mom fed me this new food. Natures Variety. It wasn't bad. It had carrots and peas in it. She gave me a whole half a can!! Thats a lot for me. I ate some, went back ate some more. When mom woke up this morning, it was all gone. Even the peas!!  Well mom was surprised. So this morning she gave the other half a can. I ate some, went back ate some more. And right now its 11:30am and I'm eating more!  Mom doesn't know if its bad that she leaves it out so long. I mean Mom fed me this morning at 5:45. And its almost 6 hours later. Hmmm....  Now I'm eating my crunchies!! Maybe mom over reacts. Oh and the good news is. I have been up since before 5:30. Mom doesn't know what time i woke up, but I haven't been sleeping since.  well I did lay down in my basket, but I wasn't sleeping. So thats good right?  Mom doesn't know if I'm awake because she is here, or because of the more food. hmmm...  Right now I'm just hanging out on my mat dictating what I want mom to say. Ahhh this is the life!

Mom has to go out and buy me some food today. Although she really doesn't want to, shes lazy and says that she needs to try to save money. I'm costing her a fortune!!  hehehe   

Hope everyone of my furiends has a great Labor day weekend!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was sooo happy when she got home after her appointment. She looked down the hall and there I was, awake!!!  So she gave me half a can of Natures Variety instinct 96% beef!  I didn't even eat half of it. Memz keeps on telling her, I'm a lunatic at night time. She just wishes my sleeping schedule wasn't during the day. Oh well, Mom will just have to get used to it!

So, mom was thinking of maybe giving me a few raw pieces to see how I do. Mom has NO idea where to start. Chicken? Cornish Hen? Chicken breast from the store? Shes not too sure yet. But it is something she has been thinking about. She checked out the Raw thread, but its all blank. Catster has some fleas tonight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom is a bit irritated, not so much with me, but with her co-workers. Mom feels accountable for her work. If its not done before she leaves, it bothers her. Well this morning she had to train a couple of ladies who used to do part of moms job. However, that was 5 years ago, and things have changed since then. These ladies were very rude and disrespectful to mom. Mom held her composure, and did as she was told by her Director. The two ladies kept on laughing and saying, "oh this is so easy, your job is so easy" PART of mom's job is easy. They don't have the slightest clue about what mom does. What takes mom 20 minutes to do in the morning, took them an hour and they didn't even finish. But yet, "oh its so easy, I've done this before" Then, they told mom not to expect her job to be finished on Monday. So if mom walks into work on Tuesday and sees her work not finished. Mom is going to have some words to say.  Mom is done being nice and letting people walk all over her. Thats what happens when you're a nice person, you get crapped on!  If I was there I would bite and claw them!! No one messes with my mom!!  Hunty to the rescue!!

I didn't wanna cuddle with mom this morning, which made her kinda mad at me. All I was thinking about was food!! I cuddle when I want to. So I slept all day yesterday, and was up all night. Mom thinks I sleep too much. But whatever, mom is too irritated to care right now. If I were you guys, I'd stay away from mom today. She might end up saying something bad!!  Beware!

She received medication and was doing well. Now she is coughing again! She needs x-rays. They don't have a lot of money, so I'm going to help the out as much as I can.  I hope its nothing too serious. I'm going to ask all of Hunters friends, Please Pray for Lucy!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Moms alarm clock went off this morning a bazillion times. She didn't want to wake up. Finally, she turned the light on and I was on the tippy top of my cat tree. Mom got up and I went to the lower tower to give her kisses. Well I got so excited that mom was up, I rolled over and Kaboom!! I fell off of my cat tree. But, I clung on for dear life and mom helped me onto the platform. Phew! That was close! If I had no claws, I could of really hurt myself. Mom brought me to the livingroom and we cuddled. She said I was being super lovey this morning. She has a hard time walking in the morning because I go inbetween her legs, i run infront of her. She has to walk funny so she won't step on me! hahahah. I love my mom. She says I'm so smart. Yesterday she gave me my Weruva, and I picked out the tiny pieces of carrots and pumpkin that were in there. Yuck! I'm a manly cat, I eat meat!! No veggies for me! Today I get to try a new kind of Addiction food. Mom doesn't know what kind to give me. She is thinking of feeding me brushtail. I hope its good. Oh, Teaka is up! Time to go and attack!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom wasn't home today. It was the perfect day to carry out my plan! My memz and Pepz were on their way out, after feeding me. They're not as fast as mom, and they had the door open to leave and out I went! I walked down the ramp before anyone had a clue I was gone, and when I got to the end, I freaked out. OMG you won't believe what I saw. Okay so there was these 2 big metal things. I mean they were BIG with 4 black circle things on the floor. But the floor was like this black stuff that made my paws hot. Mom told me it was called pavement. What is pavement? Anyway, I saw the metal things run down the pavement really really fast! I was so scared I stopped at the end of the ramp. Then I heard footsteps, and memz scooped me up and back into the house I went. Boy oh Boy was I glad to see mom when she got home! I told her all about my adventure, and she was glad to see that I wasn't hurt. 

I'm glad to be back inside though. Its scary out there!

I've been a whiny, loud, bad boy all day! And its only 1:00pm! Oh and she weighed me last night. I gained a pound. 9lbs. Well mom fed me lunch early cuz I was whining.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom put me in time out tonight. She says I've been acting like a lunatic all day!!! Slept during the afternoon for a couple of hours, thats it. I've been jumping on the table, messing up Baby Cate's birthday present, jumping on Sam the Lovebird's cage. So mom put me in the bedroom and shut the door! 

Just because I'm smaller than she is, and she can pick me up, doesn't mean she can put me in time out!  I think next time I'm going to bite her hand, she hates that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunters mom here. I know Hunter banned me from catster, and I have been on it since then... heheh. I just read the forums, haven't posted or commented on anything. I just wanted to update everyone with how he is doing. His poops are back to normal (yay!) Since Sunday I've been giving him wellness (which he barely eats) and his Weruva which he scoffs down. Last night he hardly ate his wellness. Its a little concerning, although I'm not thinking too much about it. I have been feeding him the Wellness core dry at night, 1/4 a cup. But its like I give him that amount every 2 days. So technically, its like he eats 1/8 a night. If that. I'm not too worried about it. He has been peeing and poopin like a champ! He sleeps A LOT. I mean pretty much all day, then runs around like a lunatic at 7:00pm or so until maybe 12 ish. Then back to bed. Then hes up at like 4:00am until maybe 8am and its back to bed for the entire day!!! I was told cats are nocturnal, but this is a little ridiculous. Also I've noticed that when he is on the wellness, he sleeps a lot more. Its a little sad when you have to wake up your kitten to play with him. So, my plan of action is this; try and make his main staple food Weruva. Since he loves it. Try that out for a week, then buy the addiction canned food, and make that his lunch. Once that works out, after another week, I'm going to see how he likes Natures Variety Instinct. And keep on going from there. I think If I take it really slowly, and always have his "staple" food around, he should be okay. Ultimate plan is to get rid of the wellness altogether. Oh and for the Wellness core, he still has quite a bit left. But when I have about 1/4 of the container left, I'm going to either try him on Orijen or TOTW. I want him to crunch on SOMETHING. I know dry food is bad. But he only gets 1/4 of it and he is my boy. I'm not going to follow the "crowd" just because people say whats best for him. I know him and I feel that he needs to crunch on something.  End of discussion. (I can be firm when I want to)

So as you see, Hunters page is naked. Completely naked. I am in the process of trying myself at HTML and making a background from scratch. I downloaded a photo shop tool (gimp) and its a lil confusing. However, I did all of this in college. I know I can get it to work, I usually can figure things out. If not, I can revert back to his old page. 

That is what is going on with Hunty, Oh and he has taken a strange fascination with the fish tank. Probably because we have babies in there that swim on the bottom. If he was a bit taller, I think he'd stand on his hind legs all day and try to get them. 

Hope everyone is doing well,
Kelly (Hunters mom)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I am banning my mom from catster for a whole week! Mom has enough stress in her life, and she definately doesn't need to be reading what kind of foods she should be aware of, what if I do this, what if I do that etc... So, I told mom this morning, No more catster for 1 week, and she agreed! She said shes going to give herself an ulcer if she keeps on worrying. Mom said she is going to do what she thinks is best for me. I love my mom and I know she would never do anything to hurt me, so I trust her completely. Except when she tries to wipe my bum, I dont like that so much...

So all my catster friends, don't worry, I'll be back! Mom just has a few things to figure out. Thank you guys for all your love and support!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is worried that I may be sleeping a bit too much. I snore now. I'm a little self conscience about that. Mom wanted to play with me last night but I was so tired!!! She came home from the pet store around 4:30, I was sleeping on my cat tree. She pet me a few times and I saw her, licked her fingers, and went back to sleep until 8:00. I got up, Mom fed me Merricks Cowboy Cookout, I hate about 1/4 of a 3oz can. I wanted to go back to bed! So I layed on the couch. Then Teaka wanted to play. So I rough housed with her for about 15 minutes or so, then back on the couch. Mom doesn't like this one bit! She got out my feather toy. Oh Boy I was excited! I jumped and jumped, not as high as I usually do though. I was breathing hard after about 10 minutes so mom put it away. Then I just hung out on the cool hardwood floor. It was about 9:30 or so, and mom went to bed. 

This morning, I was snoring on my fleece bed and mom woke me up. We cuddled on her bed for about 15 minutes, and then mom went into the shower. Back to bed for me! She fed me my Wellness, I didn't eat any of it. It was time for her to go, so I followed her into the kitchen and got some temptation treats. Mom says I have to eat something!  Oh, mom caught me peeing in my box yesterday. No problems. :) 

Mom doesn't know if she should be overly worried that I'm sleeping so much. Maybe I'm going through another growth spurt. I am "walking downhill" as Bumpurr would say. I'm not eating all that much either. Mom might call the vet and ask if thats normal. Its only been the past week or so. Maybe Mom is just used to me being totally crazy and I've finally calm down a bit? Ack, she doesn't know. I guess eating the string didn't help her worries either. She hasn't seen me poop it out.  Why do moms worry all the time?!?! They're so silly!  Back to bed for me!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunter

P.S. Mom called the house and was told that I ate all of my breakfast, which was Wellness.  I don't like eating when mom is around, I save it for later. That made mom feel a lil bit better.

P.P.S Hunter pooped out the string. :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is making a big decision in my life, no more dry food! The reason why she is making the change because some kitties are getting struvite crystals eating wellness core dry! I eat that! Mom isn't freaking out about this, she is actually somewhat confident in her decision. I don't eat a lot of it. Mom just wants to be super careful. Although mom liked the idea that I got to crunch something. So maybe mom will get a sample bag of Taste of the Wild, or Orijen and I'll get like a few to snack on in the AM. Just something to crunch on. Mom worries about my teeth too. The vet actually told her that it was okay for me to get about 15-20 kibbles to bite on daily. Yea she knows, dry food is the devil. But mom doesn't want my teeth to be all yucky when I get older AND she knows there is no way I'd let her touch my teeth. I'm very sensitive about them! 

Onto my rotation diet! So mom went to ibdkitties.net again and made a list of all of the brand of food she wants to try out. Well actually I'm going to try them out, she is just spending more money. :) So far here is the list:

Merrick BG and Entrees (selected grain free ones)
Natures Variety Instinct
Blue Wilderness
Addiction
and of course my Weruva!

Mom wanted to try the Wellness Pouches, but since so many kitties are having problems with wellness, shes not so sure. Oh, mom also was going to feed me Evo canned. But since its been bought out, she doesn't know if its safe. What are my catster friends eating? Anything good that I should try out? Leave me a comment and I'll make sure mom buys it for me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I slept all day yesterday. And I do mean, all day long. Mom came home and I didn't even say Hi. I was so tired! She let me sleep. I woke up around 8:00, said Hi to mom and went to sleep on my cat tree. I wasn't even hungry for lunch when mom got home. So before mom went to bed, She put food in my plate. Then I was up ALL night!!! OMG I played and played on my cat tree. I found my fishie!!! "bubble bubble bubble" Mom had to wear ear plugs. HAHAHAHA I played with my fishie all night long. It was great. I found all my toys too, they're in the hammock. Well I found out they were in the hammock after I fell into the hammock. Then I heard my fishie and my bird. I had a fun time.  I woke up mom around 4:45. I wanted to sleep on the bed. She wanted to cuddle. She wouldn't leave me alone! So I bit her. She said it hurt and was mad at me. Then she put me on the floor and I went to sleep on my cat tree again. She was getting ready for work, and I started to feel bad. I don't wanna bite mom, but she doesn't know when to leave me alone. So I jumped up onto the sink in the bathroom, and gave her headbutts and licks. We cuddle for a couple of minutes. Then it was time for breakfast!!! YAY! My favorite time of day. So mom put some Chicken and Herring in my dish, and then put my scoop of dry in my bowl. Well I ate my dry food instead of my wet!! Mom doesn't like that one bit! She doesn't know why she put my dry in my bowl, I get my dry food at nighttime. Silly mom!

So Mom told me that she promised Lacey and Finnegans mom that she wouldn't obsess over me anymore. No more freaking out about how much I eat, weigh, sleep, what kind of food I eat etc.  She is only allowed to obsess if there is something medically wrong with me. So since she promised, shes not going to mention anything that she would normally obsess about!  Mom felt the need that I put this in my diary to make it public so everyone can see. :)

Mom was thinking of getting me a furminator. Do those work? She bought a zoom groom, but doesnt think its getting everything, and hair flies everywhere! Anyway, I'm gonna take a nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so mom is overly obsessed about having an overweight cat. She thinks that only overweight cats have medical problems, which in reality she knows is not completely true. So she was watching me walk the other day and thought I had the "sway belly" thing going on. She freaked! She touched my belly while I was walking and noticed it was all Fluff!! :) I am fit and trim! She never had a DMH before. All moms other kitties were short haired. Mom isn't used to my fluff taking over. She felt better after that. 

I'm still a bit jumpy after my encounter with the dog barker thingamajig! Then auntie came over with her other half, baby Cate and 3 dogs!!! OMG Thank Goodness mom put me in her room. Those dogs are so scary! Oh and you won't believe what Teaka told me. One of those dogs, attacked Teaka! She is okay. She was eating her treat and the other dog freaked out at her. I felt bad for Teaka, she didn't want to play last night. Neither did I after those dogs barked at the bedroom door! I was scared. I hid on the tippity top of my cat tree! They couldn't get me there. So it was a bad weekend for me and Teaka. We just chilled out last night. Didn't play, just layed around the house. 

Mom hopes I'm a little more calm today. Memz is thinking of returning the dog barker thingamajig, it doesnt really work. Although I thought it worked great. I could hear that bad noise a mile away! I'm so glad they're going to return it. It was horrible! Anyway, I think I'm just going to lay around the house today. Its a yucky day outside, a good day to hide under moms blankets!

Purrs & Licks,
Hunty

P.S Mom noticed I had 49 treats on my page... 49!!! She was shocked when she saw that. Thank you everyone for my treats! Mmmm!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My cat tree came in today!! Mom and Pepz put it together. I tried to help but they said I was in the way. So mom put me in the bedroom... I didn't like that at all!!  It took them about half an hour to put it together. Not bad! They're pretty speedy. They just have to tie it to the wall tomorrow. Its a little wobbly. I haven't really been too crazy on it. There were pom poms that came with it, I destroyed those in no time! Oh, Mom took a picture of me sleeping on it, check it out Its on my page!

Then mom got the indoor bark controller thingy for Teaka. Mom pressed the button by accident! I freaked out! Thats a whole other story. Memz said that I'm gonna have to get used to it. Mom doesn't like that idea so much... We'll see how it goes.

I just had to show everyone my new cat tree.

She checked the tracking number (whatever that is) and it said "scheduled delivery date 8/13/10"  YAY!!!!  Mom was talking to Pepz last night who found his "stud finder" and said there just happens to be a stud right where mom was going to put my cat tree!! This is so exciting. I hope the box comes today, that way mom, Pepz and I can put it together. Of course mom will take some pictures I'm sure so everyone can see it!  What a great birthday!  

Mom says I'm getting fluff around my neck and face. I don't like it, makes me look fat! Oh and I tried Peking Ducken from Weruva last night. Eh don't really like Duck that much. I left a lot of it there. Mom said shes going to try again today and see what happens. Duck tastes funny. I was being really needy last night. Mom was watching tv and I kept on wanting to play. So I ran underneath the covers, and then I got caught, so I freaked out a bit, but mom found me. I was being so silly! I was just happy that mom was home. I hate when she leaves me.  

I think today I'm going to hang out by the back door and see if anyone drops off a big box! Happy 7 month Birthday to me!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow Meow Meow, thats all I did this morning. I even woke mom up with my Meowing. I wanted in the spare bedroom to get that kitty kibble!! So mom called me and I came running! Hopped on the bed and then the fun began! Mom wanted to cuddle, but I wanted to play. I jumped onto the floor and tried to hide under my Boogie mat! Mom got me this cool mat that has catnip inside, although I don't really like catnip, I love my mat! Mom puts all of my toys on it, that way I can pick and choose what I want. (I don't like my toy box so much... I know I'm spoiled) So I was trying to hide under the mat and then my toy went off... "bubble bubble bubble" It makes a bubble noise when the smallest thing touches it. Its a fish mom bought me a couple of months ago. Never really liked it up until this morning! OMG I thought that toy was great! So I picked it up and put it in moms shoe, "bubble bubble bubble"  Mom was getting kinda mad. It was 4:30 in the morning and all she heard was "bubble bubble bubble"  Then I flung it out of moms shoe, and it kept on making noises. So Mom jumped out of bed, and said "Hunty this toy is going in a bag! Mom was stupid when she bought it for you" I gave her a sad face.... But I found a new crinkle ball instead!!! Oh boy oh boy! I tried to bite it and then all mom heard was "crackle crackle crackle"  Mom put the light on and was up out of bed! YAY!!! Mission accomplished!  She sat down with me and we played with my moppy kickeroo, my bird toy that I ripped the wing off of, and my fleece mat that I love! Mom said that pretty soon she's going to have to move my boogie mat to make room for my... Kitty tree!! I can't wait!!  

I never played with toys before. I'll be 7 months old tomorrow, maybe I'll like toys more and more as I get bigger! Now, if only I can find that bag to play with my fishie...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hunters mom here :) Hunty doesn't really know html code very well so I figure I help the lil guy out.

Here is the link for the cat tree I got him. Hopefully this one works out.

<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.csnstores.com/Armarkat-B7301-ATM1025.html?cv">Hunty's cat tree!!</a>

I chose this one in particular because its tall 73 inches actually, has a house for him (he currently likes to reside in boxes) and the price was great!!  Plus no shipping!! I couldn't pass it up. I have a spot in my bedroom for it. I'm a little nervous because my bedroom is carpeted. I just hope its not too wobbly. It is 60 pounds so I think an 8 pound cat on it should be fine, I hope. 

I talked to my dad and asked him if I had a stud in the wall, incase I have to attach it to the wall. He said I don't. So i'm a lil worried about that. 

If all else fails and it doesn't work out, or Hunter doesn't like it, I know plenty of people with cats who would love it!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom says that I'm getting to be a big boy, and when I turn 1, no more kibble!! I'm a little upset by this. She has a couple of months to slowly ween me off of it. But I get to try new wet food! I'm excited about that! Yesterday mom bought me some Weruva Nine lives. It had chicken and liver in it! It was shredded chicken, and I really dont understand how to eat it, but I did what I could! It was super Yummy! I get to have the rest of it when mom gets home from the gym. I can't wait!!  Mom is going to the holistic pet store on Tuesday to buy me some more Weruva, if things go well. I didn't get sick, mom has to check my poops when she gets home to make sure everything is okay. It has a lot of gravy in it. I LOVE gravy!!! Mmmmmm.  

OH! Mom played with my feather flyer yesterday. I Jumped and jumped until I started panting. Thats mom's signal to stop. I caught it twice! hehehe then I started growling at Teaka. She won't leave me alone when I have my feathers. She's getting groomed today... Hahaha, they're going to cut her hair! I'm so glad mom doesn't cut my fur. I don't wanna end up looking like Teaka! I hope she doesn't smell funny. I don't like it when things smell weird. I might hiss at her!  Anyway, I gotta go. Time to take a nap in my favorite box!

Purrz & Licks,
Hunty

P.S. Mom said shes going to buy me a cat tree when she pays off her car in 3 months! I can't wait!!! Just in time for Christmas! :) My mom is the best!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yay! Im a diary pick again! I guess I'm just a special lil guy. Although my mom doesn't think so lately. I jumped in the trash can again. Pee Yoo!! I just stand on my hind legs and put my front paws on the edge of the can and "Plop" in I go! I let my mom sleep in this morning. She was very grateful. "Hunter!! Don't eat the dip!" that is what my mom just said to me. I like dip... mmmmm Mom gets mad though. She is still a bit grumpy. Had a weird day today, but shes's glad shes home. She has plans to just sit and watch movies all day. It almost 5:00pm wow, times flies. 

So, mom wants to ask all my friends; Is buying a cat tree worth it? I'm the only cat in my house, But I do play with Teaka all the time, shes my pal! Mom has a cat tree in mind that she really likes and was going to buy it for me, she really doesn't have the room for it. She knows a spot where she can put it, but its not in a spot where there is a window.  Actually it would be in moms bedroom. What do you cats think? Good Idea? Bad idea? I know most of you are a multiple cat household, but its just lil ole me... is it worth it?  Let me know what you cats think okay?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is a bit irritated. She was looking at the forums yesterday and a certain person gave her some advice, more or less. Which she wasn't asking for. (Mom is so glad this person isn't one of my friends btw...) Anyway, this person gave her rotten advice, then posted on another thread that the "advice" this person gave my mom, was giving him problems!!  You don't do that. Mom doesn't think someone should give advice when its not working out for that particular cat in the first place. That is just mean!! Then the person posts on ANOTHER thread and asks about giving their kitten people food. Mom doesn't get it. Oh, and this person has 4 cats, or maybe I should say, 3 cats and a kitten. Argh!! Stupid questions by someone who obviously hasn't read any good material on cats like catinfo.org.  My mom read that whole website which is why she is the way she is, and she learned A LOT from Hanna when she was sick and dying. Mom is irritated and might not be on catster for a lil while, to avoid stupid "people". Anyway, on to last night...

Mom went to bed, and then around 3:30 this morning, I decided to practice my fly killing skills... on mom!!! She didn't like this one bit. I kept on going for the blankets, and when she would move, POUNCE!! I kept her up. Hehehe mission accomplished! So mom isn't too happy with me today, she's tired. Then she fed me, I started to eat, and she ran towards the door.. I did it again, like lightning! I chased after mom. Mom did not want to give me treats, she says its a bad habit. But I walk between her legs, reach for the door knob, I'm ready to go outside! Mom said No! So again, got the treats and I ate them while she ran out the door. 

Mom is tired and grumpy. I think I might hide from her today. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was going to bed last night and I found a fly in her room!! I chased it down! I just sat on her bed listening for the fly and then I would pounce on it! I need to perfect my fly hunting skills! Mom HATES bugs!! She was glad I was there to save her. She didn't know what happened to the fly. I slept with mom all night long, I had to protect her. It was great, I kept on stretching, and mom kept on moving to the end of the bed. I had the whole half of the bed all to myself!!! My mom says I sleep like a human, I put my head on her pillow. Hehehe its so comfy!! That was the first time I slept with mom. I have to say, I slept really well! Usually I come running when I hear her alarm so we can cuddle. But not today... :)  So Mom was getting ready for work, and I always hop into the sink. And there it was... THE FLY!!! So I swatted it and chomped it down! Mmmm Protein!!!  Mom was kinda disgusted but said " Good boy Hunty, you get that fly!" 

I did it again, when mom opens the outside door, I come running!  When that happens, mom gives me treats. I'll start off eating my food, mom will try to sneak out, but when I hear the door, ZOOM! I'm off!  Mom needs to figure out a way to leave in the morning without giving me treats... Any ideas?

Oh I almost forgot, mom was cuddling with me this morning and noticed that I have... Webbed Feet!!! I'm a little embarrassed about it. I mean, I'm not a duck.  Mom doesn't know if all kitties have webbed feet or not. She was going to look it up. She said that they're webbed between every toe all the way up to the start of my claw! Anyway, I'm gonna go groom Teaka for the last time before she gets professionally groomed!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So after my weigh in yesterday, mom has looked up different types of kitties and here is what she has concluded: 

I probably have the tail of a Maine Coon. I have the body and coloring and the vocality of a Turkish Van (mom says I dont shut up! hehehe), and the personality of a Ragdoll (I go limp whe shes holding me belly up) 

Of course she could be completely wrong because I am a mixed breed and darn proud of it! She also read that 2 out of those 3 breeds don't fully mature until they're 4 or 5 years old! ACK! Mom thinks that she might be in trouble with me.  Again, it might not happen, but mom likes to be prepared. 

Enough about my mom and her craziness...  I layed in bed with her this morning and we cuddled. She pets me too much, so I had to bite her hand to tell her to stop. She did. :) I'm training my mom very well. She got ready for work and it was time for my breakfast! Oh my Goodness I was so hungry! I was eating and then I heard the door. Mom was leaving me!! I took off like lightning and chased after mom. She said " Oh no Hunty, I have to go to work, Come on lets go!" she put everything down and went to the bedroom. I thought she was going to get my favorite feather toy, but no, she got me some treats! So she walked back to the living room, I jumped on each chair and couch to get them, but mom kept on walking. Finally she put them on my chair in the kitchen and she snuck out the door.  Thats okay. I had my treats. Yummy! I can't wait for her to get home. I have to wait a long time. :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom is crazy... she over analyzes everything. Shes been freaking out ever since she weighed me when she got home. I weigh 8 pounds and I'm only 6 months old! I'm a growing boy. So she talked to Memz about it, and Memz said I'm going to be a big boy, and that everyone who comes to visit me says I'm Huge! I'm not fat! (a boy shouldn't have to worry about this, i'm a manly cat!) Maybe I just have some Maine Coon/Ragdoll mixed in my genes somewhere. So anyway, mom searched the internet to see what the average 6 month old weighs. There were so many different answers! Some sites said 4 pounds, others said 6. She even saw one website that said an average year old cat weighs 6 pounds!!! 6 pounds for a year old kitty? I don't know about that. Mom doesn't know what to think. She did see a weight diagram picturing all the kitties who are underweight, ideal and overweight, and mom says i'm "ideal" weight. But, it didn't say how much ideal was, it just showed how a cat should look. I think my mom is paranoid. She posted in the cat health section and asked how much the kitties weigh. I'm only 6 months old and mom is so neurotic about how much to feed me, how big i'm getting, why I sleep so much. She doesn't want what happened to her Angel Hanna, to happen to me. I think that is why she is on catster so much reading about everything, and posting all the time. She wants the best for me, and I am truly grateful! I love my mom but I think she needs to calm down and take a deep breath!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so my mom hasn't really been letting me go on the computer, I don't know why. Oh well.  Anyway mom told me shes been posting on the forums because she doesn't always understand me.  Well, I'm not bored anymore!!! Friday, mom got me this cool toy. It has a wand, a green string and on the bottom 2 big long feathers!!! OMG I LOVE IT!! Mom swirls it around and I go crazy! The feathers even twist in the wind, drives me nuts! I jump so high, mom says I jump at least 4 feet in the air. Its my favorite toy!!! And the best part is, the feathers are replaceable! Mom plays with me when I start to become restless, I run and jump so much, I have to lay down on the floor. I even pant like a dog!!! Thats when mom knows I've had enough. So mom has to hide my toy because she knows that if she doesn't, I'm going to attack it!! Well, I found it!! Problem is, I can't get to it. She put it in a dresser drawer. So all night last night I was jumping up on the dresser, trying to open the drawer. It didn't work out :(  but mom said she'll play with me again when she comes home from the gym. 

Mom also figured out why I meow at night. You see, in the other room there is kitty kibble. (meow mix to be exact) and my Pepz, feeds it to the stray kitties outside. Well that stuff smells so good, I always go in there during the day to try and open the container. But at night, the door is closed!! So I just sit infront of the door and meow, hoping someone would open the door for me. I have to figure out how to open doors. Does anyone have any ideas? I need to have some of that kibble. Mom won't let me, says its "Kitty crack" whatever that means. 

I've been so much happier this weekend, since mom bought that toy!! I haven't climbed on the curtains once! I've been sleeping a lot more though, and haven't been eating much. Mom thinks I'm going through another growth spurt. She hopes that I don't get much bigger. But even if I do, she loves me anyways.  I'm her lovey boy!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright my mom doesn't believe me that we have ghosts in the house. Sometimes she sees me trying to get them, but she just tells people that I'm "attacking the air"  Why on earth would I attack the air? C'mon mom, look closely! They fly around the ceiling and they live in the fan!!! So when the fan turns on, all the ghosts come out! They even flew into moms room this morning. I had to get it! I climbed on anything tall, the entertainment center, the dresser, and even the bookcase!! Mom wasn't too happy. I thought I was being a good boy and getting the ghosts for her. I don't want a ghost getting my mom!! Mom calls me "crazy Hunty" I bit her arm again. She doesn't get up when I want to eat. She feeds me, when SHE wants to. Makes me mad!! Oh and she locked me into the bathroom while she was in the shower. I jumped up and layed in the sink! It was nice and cold there. Its been so hot here. It was 97 degrees the other day! Too hot! I'm so glad we have AC here. Well I gotta go, time to attach the ghosts again! I have to make sure my house is safe for my mom.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Its awfully early. 5:00am actually. mom was so excited when she got the email that I am Diary pick of the day... AGAIN!!  we're both still in bed and I am dictating what i want in my diary, I just had to write something!! Mom thinks I'm crazy. She told me I was DPOTD and I told her to put the computer on. she didn't want to and then I bit her arm!!! Hahahaha I'm not used to her going on the computer this early. I forgot that this is our snuggle time!!  Its okay, I'll snuggle with her when she gets home from the gym tonight. Oh boy did I get in trouble last night! I kept on wanting to visit Sam the Lovebird. Well I guess mom and Memz didn't want me on his cage.  No one told me! I got squirted with water!!!!! It was horrible. Then I had to groom myself all over again. Mom has to check my tail everyday lately. Its so fluffy that I get scraps of paper in it, I get rug fibers in it. Mom thinks its pretty funny. I don't really like it.  She said she is grooming me this weekend. She mentioned she might use the slicker brush on my tail. I hate that brush, but she needs to get my tail cleaned somehow!  hahahaha  Alright well I have to get going, mom needs to get ready for work and I'm soooo hungry I'm bouncin off the walls! 

Thank you Catster for making me DPOTD... AGAIN!!  I'm honored. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy oh boy! I am diary pick of the day... AGAIN!! Can you believe it?? Mom is so proud, but yet she feels bad she hasn't been keeping up with my diary. Shes been super busy lately.  I'm growing to be a big boy and I keep mom on her toes. I'm starting to attack feet. I think its great and they taste, oh so yummy!! Mom doesn't like it so much, but puts up with it.  I haven't been eating as much lately. Mom thinks that maybe my growing is slowing down, she hopes. Hehehe. I'm a big boy and not quite 6 months old yet. Memz and Auntie think I'm going to be gigantic!! Auntie came over with baby Cate on Saturday and said that I'm going to be the type of cat, where you pick me up and I'm the Worlds Largest Cat!! Hehehehe  I've been sleeping a lot the past couple of days, its been so hot!! We have AC in our house, but still. It just tires me out! Anyway, mom is at work and has tons to do, so I'm going to hang up the phone now. (thats how I tell her what I want in my diary, I call her on the phone) Its the only time she has to write in my diary! Well she hopes that everyone had a great 4th of July! Gotta go, Teaka needs to be groomed!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Okay so yesterday mom came home and I met her at the door. I was so happy to see her! She sat down and Memz said that I went on the table, grabbed my container of treats and plopped it in Memz lap.  Mom was amazed, and she couldn't stop laughing! Hey, I wanted treats so I brought over the container, do you think Memz gave me any? No! I was mad! My new moppy kickeroo was in the bedroom on the floor, mom woke up, and it was on the livingroom chair! Mom says that things move around in the night. I just think its a good time to move my toys. Its embarrassing when mom stares at me while I'm moving my toys. If I move them at night, shes sleeping and can't watch me! I'm so smart. But now, mom is calling me a thief!! She cant find her keys and is blaming it on me. Mom doesn't remember where she put them, and thinks that I took them and stashed them somewhere. I wouldn't do that...well maybe. So when mom gets home from work she is going to destroy the house. Hopefully no one leaves because mom won't be able to get in the house, no house key! I'll help her find them. I'm a good boy like that, well sometimes. :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been buggin mom like crazy to turn on the computer so I can write in my diary. Shes been so busy lately! Mom has been buying me so many toys! Its great. She also bought these 4 orange things that go in the fishtank. Oh boy, those are fun to watch! If only that clear glass wasn't in the way...  I've been attacking moms feet lately. She doesn't like it so much, I think its great! And those pj pants she wears, yum!  I bite them, and try to eat them. Its a good time. She says I'm getting to big! She needs to start taking more pictures of me. I'm a growing boy! Mom has a really cute video of me when she first brought me home, she needs to figure out how to put it on my page. That would be cute to watch! Oh, yesterday mom told me shes bringing Teaka to the vets tomorrow! She has to get... Shots! Mom said that she isn't bringing me... Phew! Plus I go to the kitty doctor. Teaka goes to the puppy doctor. She probably won't want to play much. Thats okay, I got my new toy mom bought me. Its time to go, I have to groom Teaka for her day at the Vets tomorrow. A girl has to look pretty ya know! Purrz!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So ever since mom left me friday night, I've been biting her! Shes really starting to get to me when she leaves me. I don't like it one bit!! So, every morning when I wake up, I bite her arms! She likes to visit Auntie on friday nights and she leaves me all night long!!! I tried to tell her that I don't like when she leaves me, but she didn't listen.  Mom doesn't like when I bite her, but I figure I be her alarm clock. She doesn't like the alarm clock and I don't want mom to be late for work, so I bite her arm!! hehehe, It works!! She gets mad at me though. Then I feel bad when shes mad so I try to be super lovey. I show her that I want to be picked up. So I stand on my hind legs and stretch to get her attention. She picks me up and calls me her lovebug. I love when mom holds me. I give her tons of kisses!!! 

Yesterday mom came home from work and I ran to the door. I was so excited to see her!!! I followed her to the livingroom, and we sat on the couch. I gave her tons of kisses and headbutts!!! She said I was being needy. I then followed her to the bedroom, and she sat on the bed to take her shoes off. I crawled on her and gave her even more kisses!! Mom fed me and I ate the whole thing!! Licked the bowl clean. Mmmm I was so hungry! Its my Mom's birthday tomorrow. Memz and I have a lil celebration planned. I have to buy her a present. Memz said she would take care of that for me. I can't wait!! Shhhh... don't say anything, its a surprise!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night mom noticed this reddish thing on me. She took it off and it was a TOOTH!! I was licking my lips because I just lost it while wrestling with the dog.  Mom was shocked! The vet said I would start losing my teeth at 4 months old. Hmmm nope! I'll be 5 months old in 3 days and lost my first tooth last night. This morning I was all over the place, didn't really wanna snuggle. I was hungry! Well again, mom found another tooth on me! Thats 2 teeth in one night!! Mom said that if I keep on losing teeth like this, I'm going to need dentures! hahaha :) So mom looked around for more teeth, didn't find any. She tried to look in my mouth and feel where I was missing my teeth, I didn't like that one bit!!! Its my bottom right side! Don't tell mom though. hehehe. Well I gotta go, I have to be with my Memz, she just woke up!  Meow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom brought Teaka the stupid dog to the petstore. I wanted to go too!!! Mom said that if she knew I wouldn't run away or claw her to death that she'd take me. But then again, when was the last time you saw a cat go into a petstore?? She bought me treats though!! Temptation treats... yummy!! She didn't buy Teaka anything! HA!!  That made me feel special.  Sometimes mom gets irritated with people at the petstore, especially when they try to make mom buy yukky cat and dog food. "Oh Science Diet is one of the best foods for them" um... NO! I'm so glad my mom is smart and feeds me good stuff. 

Mom tried to use the Zoom Goom on me yesterday, yea that didn't go so well. I don't like it. It feels funny and I feel the need to destroy it! Mom takes it away before I go into my attack mode! She said that maybe she'll try again this weekend. I can't wait for this weekend. Mom will be home and I can snuggle and play with her! She calls me her Lovebug!  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom slept over aunties on Friday. It was okay, I was a big boy and hung out with Memz. She came home on Saturday.  Then auntie and uncle came over with their baby, and 3 dogs!! 3 of them!!! OH MY GOD! Mom put me in the bedroom. They were barking at the door, trying to get me. I was so scared. I slept on moms bed for most of the afternoon like a good boy! They finally left and Mom opened the bedroom for me. I didn't even want to go and play. I wanted to be with mom. She left me friday, I was in a bedroom all afternoon on Saturday. I just wanted to snuggle!! So mom and I watched Animal Planet. My favorite channel!  So yesterday, mom went to buy me some food. She looked for the new litter she wants to try out, but they only had a 2lb bag and it was Dr. Elseys Cat Attract in the red bag. Thats all they had. So mom had to go and get the Tidy cat. She was a little disappointed. Me too, I wanted to try the new litter. 

OHHH, on Thursday mom bought me a Zoom Groom!! She loves it!! Its okay, I mean I like to bite it, not my favorite thing but mom says it really works! She was so surprised!! She says my fur is super soft like cashmere. :)  I love my mom, she always buys me the best stuff around! Time to go attack the dog! Here puppy puppy puppy...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is feeling a little lazy with my diary lately. She doesn't think I need to update it everyday! Plus she said that I'm not all that exciting. Pssh! Whatever mom! 

So shes having a hard time grooming me. Granite I bite the brush, but when I'm being good she says that the brush doesnt get the hair out! My hair is thin/fine. Really fine and I don't think I have an undercoat.  When mom holds me, I get my fur all over her shirt. But the brushes don't seem to work. Mom has a comb, a slicker brush, a dual sized slicker/ bristle brush. None seem to work for my fur! My tail is bushy and its so much easier to brush compared to my body. Mom was reading about Zoom Groom. Any of my catster friends use it? Is it worth for mom to buy me one? 

Onto another subject. My litterbox.  I go in the litterbox fine. No problems there. Its just what when mom cleans my litterbox, dust everywhere!!! Its coating her computer and she sneezes when she cleans it. She read about Dr. Elsey's cat litter. Is that the best? Mom was figuring on buying a bag while my litter box is full of my current litter (tidy cats) that way it'll be a good transition. Does anyone use it? Does it trap the smell? 

Maybe some of my catster friends could give my mom some advice? TIA! Now I do believe its time to wake up Memz and Pepz!!! Meow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning, I woke mom up. She got ready and then she fed me. Beef and Chicken. mmmm :) after that she found a toy mouse for me! It's blue. It was by the water dish. I put my paws in the water and flicked it around until the cabinets got wet! Hehehe. Then, mom threw the mouse and I went crazy! It was in MY house and I had to kill it. So I grabbed it, bit it, and did my bunny kicks! It was dead!!! I killed it. Mom was so proud. :) I wanted to eat it, so I carried it around and showed Memz. She thinks i'm crazy. Thats okay. I'm a ladies man, I didn't show it to Pepz, he wouldn't care too much about it. So mom went to work and then Memz put the Animal Planet on! My favorite channel!! I sat in the middle of the floor watching it. So interesting. Did you know that a Zebra's skin isn't striped!? 

Time for my cat nap! Purrz!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Because I was such a good boy yesterday, and I was chosen Diary Pick of the Day, AND because I have so many wonderful friends, mom thought it would be time to upgrade me to a PLUS member!! OH MY GOODNESS, I'm SO excited! Now I just have to make sure mom takes more cute pictures of me!  She doesn't really know what to do with all of the extra Bio fields, but I'm sure she'll figure something out.  Shes also thinking of re-writing my arrival story. She doesn't really like it. Anyway, she thought that Catster would be another website she signed up for and forget about. However, I think my mom is addicted to it. She loves posting diary entries for me, and reading the forums and answers page. She loves decorating my page too. I'm super excited!!  Now I get more zealies to give to my friends and they get refilled every month!! YAY!!  AND, I found out that the plus membership is good for Teaka's page too.  Although mom doesn't really update her page, and look at the doggy forums.  Maybe mom will update Teaka's page. I think she feels bad for her. I don't know why... that dog is crazy. 

Anyway, mom is at work, again! I wish she'd stay home to play with me. I'll play with her tonight. Time to sit by the slider, maybe I'll sneak out while Pepz isn't looking... Meow!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom got an email from catster saying that my diary is "Diary of the Day." When mom read that to me I was super excited!!  So I had to tell my mom that we need to check it out. We looked at the homepage, and it wasn't me! :( Mom looked around and I saw my face as the "Diary PICK of the Day" I'm still not on the homepage, but thats okay.  Maybe later on everyone will see my cute lil face there.  

So mom has noticed lately that my cheeks are getting bigger. You know, the place where the whiskers come out. Mom thinks they're cheeks, not sure. Maybe jowles? Memz thinks I'm going to be a big cat. I have toe hair now!!! Long hair that is between my toes. Mom thinks its pretty funny. I'm a little insecure about it.  Mom can't get over how long I am. I'm not even 5 months old yet. Still have about 7 months left to grow!  Oh boy are they in trouble.  Meow Meow! :) 

I wanted to wish all of my Catster friends a Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone has a good Holiday. I'm going to spend it with my mom as much as I can. She has to work this afternoon but at least I got to wake her up. Thats my favorite part of the day!   

Happy Memorial Day!!]]></content:encoded>

All you hear is CRASH!!! Then I run underneath the bed.  Today mom has plans to go to the beach.  I wonder if I could sneak into her tote bag and...CRASH!!!!! (Hunter, you can't jump into the wall!! I swear this cat things he can fly!!) Mom, stop typing in MY diary! Geez... So as I was saying, I want to go to the beach with mom. Wonder if she'll notice.  :)]]></content:encoded>

I jumped, hung on for dear life and then...CRASH!!! I knocked the plant and the stand over. Mom woke up and saw what I did. She started to clean it up but Memz said no! She wanted Pepz to do it. Mom picked me up and we went back to the bedroom. She locked me in there.  I don't know why I like plants so much.  Mom brought home another cutting from a plant at work.  Hopefully it roots and she can give it to Memz. 

Mom really likes the new catster/dogster sites. She says it looks a lot better. More professional, and less childish. I haven't seen it yet. Mom doesn't let me use the laptop. She says that I could break it. I only try to bite the screen! Its not like I press all the buttons at the same time. Geez! I've been giving mom lots of headbutts lately. She sometimes says that I remind her of Hanna. Hanna was moms other kitty who went to live at the Rainbow Bridge. Mom misses her a lot. Sometimes I find mom staring at pictures of Hanna. Boy do I have big paws to fill! Well Mom is at work, so I'm going to play with Teaka. Since her haircut, I don't have much to groom! :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was home Saturday with me and Pepz was outside cooking hamburgers. It was so nice out, and I wanted to go outside!  Mom said no.  I just layed down infront of the screen slider. Well Pepz came in with the Hamburgers, and then Teaka wanted to come inside. That stupid dog never comes in when shes called. She has to have the slider open all the way. Yea well that was great timing for me, out I went! I was lovely, the dog chased me and I almost went underneath the deck. Mom ran out and grabbed me. :( I just wanted to go outside! Mom said I'm an indoor kitty.  I want to go outside so bad. I run towards the door when people are leaving. I come running to the door when people come in the house.  Mom doesn't know what to do so I wont go outside.  So I wanted to ask my friends on catster, Does anyone have any ideas for my mom? She doesn't want me to go outside.  She said any idea or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!  Time to go hang out with Memz!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom was running late for work, again! She went in the bathroom to take a shower, I jumped in the tub. She turned the water on. OMG, the water started to rush towards me, I freaked out and jumped onto the edge of the tub. The shower started up and mom went in, and I layed down between the shower curtains.  I was so hungry and mom was taking her sweet time in the shower. I started to meow and tell her that it was time for breakfast. She didn't listen, again! She said "I'll be out in a few minutes to let you out, Hunty" Well her "few minutes" turned into like 10!! I couldn't handle it anymore, I was SO hungry!! I jumped in the tub! I forgot about the water. Jumped back out. It was time to make a ruckus!! I jumped on the toilet, sink and even attacked the wall! Meow Meow Meow, I'm Hungry!!!! Finally mom was out of the shower.  She opened the door and went to get dressed.  I played in the tub, I love water. 

Then she walked towards the kitchen... FOOD!!! I was so ready. She got the can open and I just sat there like a good boy, she put my benefiber on it, and mixed it all together.  It looked so good! Finally time to eat! Mmmmm!!!  Mom was getting ready to walk out the door, and I ran to catch up with her. I almost escaped, AGAIN! Mom is quick though and shut the door before I could go out. She gave me some treats and I saw her run out. I rather eat the treats. Yum! So mom is at work and I'm at home playing with Teaka. I need to groom her again, that dog is always messing up her hair! Oh there she is,  its time to... ATTACK!!  Ciao!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What does a handsome boy like me have to do to get my mom up in the morning? I lick, pounce, cuddle, nibble, headbutt, I don't get it, why doesn't she wake up? Then she hears this music coming from the pink square thing, and shes up.  She doesn't do that for me. This morning she accidentally shut the bathroom door while I was in there! I meowed so loud she could hear me across the house!!! Finally she opened the door, and walked in, I ran out. I walked back in because mom was there. I jumped on her. I just wanna cuddle!! 

So Teaka did it again last night. It was mom and me cuddle time, and Teaka was on the bed! She is really starting to get to me. No matter how much I pounce or bite her, she still wants to be with my mom. We rough housed on the bed again, mom is getting used to it. She slept through it! Hehehe. Mom thinks i'm starting to like the dry kibble more than my wet kibble. She thinks this is a problem. So starting tonight, just a tiny bit of kibble along with my usual wet food.  Mom noticed this morning that my fur is super soft!! She said that I feel like Cashmere. I need to get brushed today. Don't want to start getting matts! Oh Memz is giving me treats... Gotta go!]]></content:encoded>

Mom freaked out of course.  She doesn't feel that good today. She'll be home from work in an hour so I'm gonna take a nap that way I can play with her when she gets here.  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So yesterday after mom went out doing her errands, she came home to find me in the livingroom! I guess Memz couldn't  stand hearing me meow, and she let me out of the bedroom.  I took a nap and mom watched a movie. It was time for bed so I went to snuggle with mom, didn't quite happen like that. Teaka wanted to be with mom too. It was MY snuggle time and Teaka was on the bed. Yea well that didn't go over well with me. I pounced on her, bit her juggular, rough housed with her all on the bed while mom was trying to sleep. Teaka just wanted to sleep, but it was MY snuggle time! I was so mad! Mom fell asleep and Teaka finally jumped off to have a snack of popcorn with Pepz. I don't like popcorn. Yuck! Well it was about 4:45am and I was ready to get up and eat. I had to lick mom I don't know how many times to get her up. I gave her a few headbutts, but she was still sleepy. I went on her bureau to knock things down, she still didn't get up! Finally it was 5:30 and she was up, sorta. She has bad bed hair in the morning. Shhh don't tell her I told you! Every morning I follow her everywhere. In the bathroom while shes showering, bedroom, livingroom, kitchen. The kitchen is my favorite spot... that means theres food! She called me a dog, because I follow her everywhere. She loves it, says that I make her smile!  What can I say, I love my mom!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom was away friday night and slept over Aunties, I missed her. She came home yesterday and I slept all afternoon.  Anyway, mom was watching tv with Memz this morning and I saw that plant. Its this green plant on a pedistal. Well I wanted to sit on the pedistal to see Sam the Lovebird. I love Sam, would never hurt him. So I jumped grabbed the plant and... CRASH!! Dirt and plant leaves everywhere.  Mom wasn't mad, but Memz was... Oh Boy was she mad! She started yelling at Mom and they had an argument.  Mom put me in the bedroom and said "NO!" Mom cleaned up and tried to save the plant that Memz loves. She put it in a water vase, hoping it would root. Now its on top of the cabinet where I can't get it.  I'm still stuck in the bedroom but mom is here so its not so bad. Mom said she has to run and do some errands, I hope she doesn't keep me in the bedroom.  :(]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, my Memz called mom at work and asked her if I could come out and play? Mom said "sure as long as you watch him" and that was it. I'm out of the bedroom and playing with Teaka! I also got Memz to give me another tiny scoop of kibble. Hehehe.  I didn't eat much though.  I've been so hungry lately.  I eat all of my food, and lick the plate clean! Thinking of plates, mom said she was going to the petstore this weekend to see if they have a rubberized non-skid plate. You see, I have a tendency to scoot the plate around to get all of my food.  This way if I get a plate with rubber on the bottom, it won't move! Maybe if I'm super cuddly tonight mom will buy me a toy tomorrow. Thats my plan and I'm sticking to it!  Hehehe

So mom has noticed that I'm sleeping more lately. She hopes its nothing serious. Also, I'm not jumping on the curtains and being a wild man! Mom thinks its from the surgery and maybe i'm just not myself yet, plus she thinks i'm being super clingy.  Clingy, to the point where I cry if mom is in the bathroom without me. If I'm in the kitchen and mom is in the livingroom, I cry because I can't find her.  Mom likes the idea that I need her, but she hopes its not anything permanent.  Oh well, she loves me anyways! :)

Oh I almost forgot. Mom made a dogster page for Teaka! Why she did that, I have no idea. Check her out, shes kinda cute huh? Yea thats until I pounce on her and mess her hair up! Hehehehe]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm 4 months old today!! I'm feeling better. After my operation yesterday I slept for about 4 hours straight!  I want to be with my mom all the time now.  I slept with her, on her arm, and of course I woke her up.  I just want to be with her all the time. She called me "needy" Oh and the best part of this morning was the FOOD! I ate all of my breakfast and all of my kibble.  Maybe I'll get some extra kibble for lunch when mom gets home from work.  Memz and Pepz are here to watch over me today and tomorrow. I hate being stuck in moms bedroom.  Teaka wanted to play last night, mom said no.  Mom put out her red fluffy bathrobe on the bed before she left, I think I found my "suckle blankey" I was kneading on it, it was wonderful.  Anyway, I think I'm going to nap, in a few hours it'll be lunch and mom will be home! Just one more day in this bedroom then I get to run and play!! Happy 4 month Birthday to me!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Alright so before I tell you what happened, I'll start with last night.  Mom fed me at our usual time, and then took everything away at 9:30! She even took my dog-sister Teaka's food and water away!  I tried to tell her that I eat my hard kibble at night. She didn't listen. So of course this morning I was starving!! I did everything I could to wake her up and feed me. Well she woke up, did she feed me? NO!!  It was past 6:00am and mom was still home, I thought that was weird. No work today, mom? YAY!! A whole day to hang out with my mom. Oh boy was I wrong!  So she put put me in the blue carrier that I'm out growing. Vets again? Geez mom! I'm pooping fine now... ugh! We drove for a long time. Then my tummy started to hurt, and I got car sick. Mom felt really bad.  Then she brought me to the place where there are lots of cats in cages. It smelled familiar, I took a look around... It was the...SHELTER!!  Mom filled out a blue piece of paper and left me there. She just walked out! I was crying and crying. Then you won't believe what they did to me! I almost can't talk about it. Well this nice lady took me out and put me on a table, stuck a mask on my face and well... I don't remember anything else. When I woke up... I was...NEUTERED!!!! How could my mom do this to me? She keeps telling me its for my own good. Yea right. After a while they put me back in my carrier and lined up a whole bunch of carriers by the entrance. All the other kitties were out like a light! But not me... oh no, I wanted out! Then the doorbell rang, and it rang again. Then a knock at the door. It was MOM!! You have no idea how happy I was to see her! She talked a lady for a couple of minutes. Said to me "hi, big boy..." then I just starting crying. I wanted to head butt my mom, but the lady said to keep me calm. Does she know who she is talking about? Me? calm? Thats crazy talk! We had another long ride home and I had enough of that stupid blue carrier, I was freaking out in the car! I tried everything to get out. Mom kept on saying " I know Hunty, I'd want out too, only 10 more minutes" Finally we got home! I still haven't had anything to eat or drink yet, but mom said she is letting my tummy calm down before I try some food and water. I have to stay in moms bedroom for a couple of days before I can go out in the house and play with Teaka! Mom said Saturday I can go and play with her.  For all you kitties out there, getting neutered is no fun, but if I can do it, you can too!  Its definitely time for a nap, I deserve it!  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my mom made an appointment for me to get "Neutered" I'm not quite sure what that means, but I know my mommy is nervous. She is always researching random thoughts on the internet. I think she reads too much, and gets paranoid.  My mom already told me no food after midnight! Can you believe it? No midnight snack! I'll get her back for that; especially by jumping on her bureau, she hates that!  So i'm still on this medicine for my poops. I'm all better now but the vet said to finish the pills just incase.  Only 3 more to go!  Yesterday I spit it out, twice! heheheh. Boy was my mom getting irritated with me.  She even had to call my Memz to help her out! What can I say those pills are bitter!!! I almost fell in the tub this morning, thank goodness my mom was there to scoop me up. I mean yes, I look like a Turish Van, but I'm not so sure about the tub with water in it.  Instead of the tub, mom put me on the sink.  I love the faucet!!! I get all in there with the water and splash, my head usually gets soaked! Anyway, I have to get going. I figure I start a diary since I'm young, and maybe I'll be able to look back at myself in a few years.  Time to climb the curtains while Memz isn't looking!  Ciao!]]></content:encoded>
