		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Solo does not know I have hijacked her page to write this.

I took you to the doctor, because I found a lump.
Sitting in the office, I felt my heart jump-jump.
We both were shaking and scared, then they tested you,
they came back and said, "Here's what we will do."
I have to bring you back, Friday is the day,
I have to leave you there, I have to go away.
They will put you under, just a little sleep,
Hopefully you'll just snooze and count some mice or sheep.
But, my girl, please wake fast when they bring you back,
I'm dying just thinking about it, I feel my heart might crack.
They hope your lump is just a lump and that you are just lumpy,
it's hard for me to accept the road to health is bumpy.
My soft, fluffy purrball, my constant bestest friend,
our life is perfect together, and I refuse to let it end.
I have to believe what they tell me, that you're really fine,
you're eating well and running 'round, you sweetest cat of mine.
But I am so nervous, this scary operation,
I don't like you to have to go "under" in this frightening situation.
Just know that you'll be on my mind each minute, as I count them all,
I'll be waiting for the phone, waiting for that call.
I'm trying to gather good karma, as much as I can get from the world,
and send it for your biopsy, my special, special girl.]]></content:encoded>

Treats!
Treats, I love to eats!
I love them from my furry head to my furry feets!

I like them when they're chewy,
and have a tuna taste.
I'll gobble them down right quick,
leave nothing left to waste.

I also like them flaky,
and of course piled high.
When I hear the treats coming,
there's a sparkle in my eye.

I'd like one now please,
that'd be really sweet.
I'd be so fluffed out happy,
if you gave me a treat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm under the covers, barely a lump,
but if I sprang up, I'd totally jump.
You can barely see me, flattened out,
but if you crawled in, you'd probably shout.
I'm under the covers, sneaky sneaky me,
you'd search and search and say, 'Where could I be?'
I'm in here all toasty and really quite cozy,
the whole thing makes me sleepy and totally dozy.
It's just so soft, I'm cuddled all around,
I purr in here so quietly as I stay un-found.
Beneath the comforter, twisted in sheets,
I curl my tail all around my head and my feets.
So nice just to close my eyes and rest,
here in the bed, it's just such the best.
Just when you've given up, I'll show my whiskers a peek,
and you'll find me and laugh and call me a sneak.
Then you'll climb in and it will get even better,
as we snuggle down into the warm bed together.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The other day it snowed,
the ground, it kinda glowed.
All around, it blowed.
This stuff, I never knowed.

It started overnight.
And came down really white.
It felt really right.
I bet it landed nice and light.

It nestled in the trees,
it didn't go on my knees.
It'd probably make me sneeze,
it floated on the breeze.

I'd never seen snow before,
but I'd like a little more.
It's usually such a bore,
the heat here is a total chore.

I hope it snows again,
I'd get in the window and then
I'd say hello snowflake friend,
into my life, you blend.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, has time gone by,
you can really see it fly!
So much time has passed
between this entry and my last.
I can't say I've done much,
lots of napping in the sun and such.
I've eaten a few cans of tuna,
and run fast from a balloon-a.
I like to watch the birds,
I like when they're in thirds.
I recently found a roach
it did not see me approach!
I splatted it with my paw,
a better huntress you never saw!
I've gotten even more fluff,
you really can't have enough!
I'll try not to take so long
to purr you another song.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I heard my cat-mahm talking
about this special place.
She's saving all her money,
it's a dream she wants to chase.
It's called "a private island"
where no people come to roam.
Just her and me and company
of other cats to be our home.
There will be no shooting,
no plane crashes or bombs.
Simply waves of water
and shade by tall, green palms.
She says we can have as many cats
as would care to join us there.
She'd pack many, many toys and treats
and all the veterinary care.
We could roam the island
and sleep all day in the sun.
We'd be safe from all the baddies,
protected from everyone.
This place, she says, she's dreaming,
but I bet indeed it's real.
Maybe if I save my tuna money,
we can get something for a steal.
It just seems this world's too nasty,
we'd rather be alone.
So we'll keep on sailing,
till we dock at our private home.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There'll be tuna down the mountain when she comes...
I'll be face down in that bowl having fun...
she promised to be cooking
and you know that I'll be looking
for that tuna in my food bowl when she comes.

Well she's trying an old recipe tonight...
she's very good so I know she will get it right...
When she dumps the tuna in the bowl
the sauce will feed my soul
Oh, I sure do love tuna with all my might.

She promised me tuna as soon as she gets home...
maybe because I stay here all alone...
but for me that is OK
because I say heck, no way
to sharing any tuna, take a bone!

Oh yeah, there's tuna down the mountain really soon!
I hope you don't think I'm a big buffoon!
But I feel my nose puffs foaming
and my whiskers, they are honing,
as I sing my drooly tuna-coming tune!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ They say that giving's good,
it's better than to take,
so this decision,
what better could I make?

I've got stars in my eyes,
those stars are all the rage.
So now I've got a bunch
of stars upon my page!

If you can't give them to yourself,
to really show you care,
then what's the big old point
of them being there?

I want as many stars
as in the constellation,
I am not really sure why
I have this fascination!

Stars, so sparkly shiny,
you wish when one does fall,
oh, my pretty stars,
I want to have them all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That purrfect place for me to sleep,
Not at your head, not at your feet.
Not sure how to explain just what I mean,
All I know is it feels like a dream.
Not under the covers, no, on top,
I sneak in through the night and down I drop.
I snuggle in to the crook of your knee,
We sleep in peace so happily.
“A little brown ball,” is what you say,
when you see me in the light of day.
I know you like when I’m sleeping there,
It says to you that I really care.
Sometimes I’m pushy if I can’t get through,
Sleep in the right position, you must do!
I’ll guard the bed and the whole room,
As night succumbs to the silvery moon.
Pressed up tight where your leg bends,
I dream and dream the night never ends.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am a Southern cat,
so I have never seen
the grass when it's not
some kind of shade of green.

But yesterday the ground
had a white-ish glow.
My cat-mom said,
oh my goodness, it's snow!

She said the stuff is cold,
and soft and flaky wet.
Since I'm an indoor cat,
snow and I have never met.

She said I wouldn't like it,
it'd seep into my fur.
She said when people are out in it
they're always howling "Brrrr!"

It looked kind of tasty,
I'd like to lick some off my nose.
I'll have to try to get some
the very next time it grows!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, I love the scratchies,
right there on my head.
Stop what you are doing,
and scratch me now instead.

Nothing is more like heaven,
then the itch of nice, long nails.
It's always a spirit lifter
and never, ever fails.

I may be demanding,
but surely, realize,
just how little effort
gets me to make those sighs.

Scratching is divine,
nothing pleases more.
Scratch me on the couch,
scratch me on the floor.

I wish that I could hire
a scratcher for full time.
Oh, with 24/7 scratchies,
I would feel quite fine.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *** I am sneaking into Solo's diary while she is eyeballing me so I have to make this fast.

Has anyone noticed that her cat wears pantaloons? I mean, seriously. Solo's back (for some reason, I hate the word "hind") legs look like she has bloomers on. She's super fluffy, so her legs fluff out a lot, then come to a little point at her feet. Pantaloons! Anyway, I laughed about this all day. Then I came home, where Solo had hairballed on the floor. That serves me right! ***]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Rainbow rosettes, such a joy,
They make me want to scream, “Oh joy!”
I received my first bright one today,
And I really have to say,
I love them so! They are so neat,
They make me fluff out to my feet.
Such colors make me very happy,
Please pardon me for being so sappy.
And I do not try to brag,
Do not think me a big nag.
I hope that everyone understands,
If you have extra rosettes, I’ll take them off your hands!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, tuna your goodness,
I know I've praised it before.
But yet I find myself swooning,
and must compliment you more.

I love to dive nose first
into your flaky tin.
After I gobble you down,
your fragrance remains on my skin.

What better perfume could be
than your fishy scent?
I look fondly back upon
all the time, together, we've spent.

I don't see you enough,
it's not my fault, I swear.
But I'm not a fishercat,
I don't get much salty sea air.

So I'll have to contend,
until you're brought home at last.
Bring it out of the grocery bag,
and open that can real fast!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is this stringy thing?
It comes in many hues.
It's mostly always skinny
and comes in reds and blues.
I see it moving quickly,
too quick for me to pounce.
Yet when I try to chew it
it barely weighs an ounce.
She says it's for her "knitting," 
but what kind of joke is that?
When that string is around
I must know where it's at!
I follow it with my eyes
as it comes out from its ball.
Have you ever heard of such a thing?
It's the craziest thing of all.
To use a string for something
other than chasing, you see,
has got to be too silly,
at least, to me!]]></content:encoded>

in really way too long.
I can see the way of my errors,
I see where I went wrong.
It just always was so easy,
to stay laying in the sun.
Instead of hopping back online
and composing to everyone.
Sleeping calls my name,
it's hard not to answer back. 
Isn't part of being a cat
our tendency to slack?
So please accept my apology,
and continue to be my friend.
I hope this is the start of more frequent diaries,
and surely not the end!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ** In anticipation of a trip, I just had to sneak into Solo's diary and post a little something myself.

Please watch over my kitty,
Keep her safe while I am gone.
Let her not even really miss me,
Let her feel cozy and warm.

It’s hard when you like to travel,
But have to leave your friend behind.
Worries make you feel like you might unravel,
They wreak havoc with your mind.

I know that she’ll be happy
Staying back at home.
It’s just me that’s getting sappy,
At the thought of her alone.

Actually, no, it’s me,
Who’ll really do the missing.
While she’s snoozing around the house,
It’s her that I’ll miss kissing.

I may be far away,
But I know that she’s protected.
And I’ll be back sooner than later,
The sadness soon corrected.

No furry friend to join me,
As I make my travel trip.
But it’s not like she’d prefer to go
Aboard a cruising ship.

No, she’ll keep the homefront,
Safe and sound with care.
And the happiest sight of all,
Coming home, and seeing her there!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ He was a California cat,
I don’t know much more than that.
He came around one day,
But only two years would he stay.
His fur, a grayish blue,
Life on the streets, he knew.
It must have been hard times,
But happiness, he did find.
My uncle gave him care,
And built him a shelter there.
Rescued from the wild,
He became quite like a child.
Every day he’d sound,
Under the house he could be found.
Expressing his great need
For a new food bowl to feed!
His nose puffs were big and fluffed,
In general, he was sweetly fluffed.
He actually became tame,
Losing him, no greater shame.
His presence, it seems a sin,
Even though I never even met him!
I once sent him some toys,
Even though I really don’t like boys.
But it really did seem fair,
My uncle was happy he was there.
Now he has passed on,
We can’t believe he’s gone.
Winston, if you’re there,
We’re glad you came by to share.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She makes me happy when I'm sad,
she turns my bummed days into glad.
Nothing's cuter than her face,
no other entity could ever replace.
She came into my life, I didn't even know my need,
it's such a joy to pet her, to protect her, to feed.
Each day, I get home, I rush for that fur,
my excitement to see her turns into a blur.
Who'd have thought two little ears
could be the root of so many fears?
What will happen if she went away?
I'd never know such a darker day.
Her big eyes communicate her purring love,
she's my #1 companion, no other above.
To her, I thank, for her company,
and everything she's brought out, the good, in me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It’s been a while, since I’ve wrote,
Not much of importance for me to note.
I mostly sleep and rest all day,
Not much excitement for me to say.
But this kitty likes it slow,
It’s easier that way, don’t you know?
I’m happy to have things the way they are,
Not doing too much nor traveling too far.
Happy to get a treat or two,
Happy to offer to share it with you.
Playing with my shoelace or puff ball is nice,
Taking a nap, then taking it twice.
I enjoy this slowness, hope it will last,
I like the days going by not too fast.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Birdies, birdies, north and south,
how do I get you in my mouth?
I watch you through the big glass door,
wanting you, wanting you, wanting you more.
I bet your feathers would taste quite fine,
upon your wings I'd like to dine.
I'd need a few to get my fill,
just seeing you is such a thrill.
You come to the feeder placed outside,
you land quite nimbly from your ride.
But did you know I'm staring out?
If you did, you might pout.
To know that I'm bearing all my fangs,
come closer, little birdie gangs.
True, I'll never get a taste,
it is such an awful waste.
You remain outside and I am in,
such a hassle it has been.
So, I'll remain a vegetarian beast,
and never have my birdie feast.]]></content:encoded>

you catch the drips, you catch them all.
Into your base, they do swim,
and then they come back out again.
Sparkling clear and crystal cold,
you're sleek and fashionable and totally bold.
I've never seen anything quite like you,
drinking from your spout I'll do.
Fountainy goodness you do nicely share,
you part with every drop you can spare.
A slight gurgle is all that announces your presense,
you simply offer thirst quenching without any pretense.
I can stick in my paws and clean them right off,
and you'll never laugh, you'll never scoff.
So thank you, fountain of l'eau,
with love for you, my heart, does grow.]]></content:encoded>

can you guess what I got?
Ok, I'll tell you, it's real fine,
a water fountain is now mine!
It spits out the water from a spout,
it's so cool, I want to shout!
Bright white and new, it is real cool,
thinking about it makes me drool.
I like to watch the water go
through its cycle in its flow.
Maybe one day, I'll go up to it,
what do you think? Should I do it?
And drink the water from the spring?
OK, I'll do it, that's the thing!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One little kitty went to the market,
hoping to buy some fish.
Oh were there sights and smells and sounds,
would a salmon fill her wish?

Who knew there were so many things
filling up the aisles?
The little kitty padded down the rows,
her face a picture of smiles.

There's fish in a can, and fish in a bag,
there's fish you can wrap in paper.
There's fish you must eat now, right away,
there's fish you can save for later.

Oh, what to do, I just cannot pick,
what should I have for my dinner?
With all of these choices in front of my face,
it's no wonder I'm not getting thinner!

The kitty stood by the market doors,
having finally made her choice.
"Thank you, meow," she said to the clerk,
and went home to eat, and rejoice!]]></content:encoded>

all I can do is pant, pant, pant.
The sun is blazing in the sky,
it makes my fur drip in my eye.
I have a heavy thick fur coat,
I'm glad I'm not out on a boat.
I watch the plants all sizzle crisp,
I do not talk with a big lisp.
Everything outside is dry,
why's it so hot? Why? Why? Why?
Need it come to a full broil?
So the air just sits in a roil?
Does it have to be so heavy thick?
You can beat it with a stick.
Let's turn on the world's air conditioner,
feeling that would make me purr.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Even when I don't try,
I'm somehow always cute.
You really cannot argue,
there's no need for dispute.
My fur, it may be ruffled.
Some say, even, a mess.
But my cuteness is never damaged,
this, you cannot contest.
When I'm making lots of noise,
or squeaking for a treat.
My cuteness is on parade,
from my ears down to my feet.
I know, it really works.
I use it to the max.
I'm cute when I'm racing through the house,
I'm cute when I'm relaxed.
It's really no big effort,
cuteness comes with being a cat.
We're really lucky creatures,
to be blessed like that.
So, I don't turn it on,
I don't need to turn it off.
I hope you aren't jealous,
there is no need to scoff.
It just comes with the territory,
to argue would be moot.
It cannot be disproved,
cats are always cute!]]></content:encoded>

You can do it on a plank of wood.
You can sleep on a feathery bed,
you can sleep anywhere you lay your head.
On a step or countertop,
the sleepy dreams will never stop.
Of course, there always is a lap,
the perfect place to take a nap.
Give me a sofa, pillow, or shirt,
heck, I've even napped on dirt!
It is nice to sleep on mush,
you sink right in down to your tush.
Nap on a bike, a car, a sled,
just pick a place, lay down your head!]]></content:encoded>

We hang out by the window,
poking out to see.
When we hear a car driving up,
we hope it's you it'll be.

We keep an eye on the clock

pop pop pop, I cannot stop.
Smooth and round, they float a bit.
When I spy a bubble, I must smash it.
They linger so gently in the air,
how do they do it- floating there?
Sometimes they burst upon my nose,
they have rainbow colors, almost glows!
From a wand they do burst forth,
floating south and floating north.
No matter how hard I try to chase,
suddenly, they just erase.
Little and big, the bubbles come,
bubbles are fun for everyone!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm standing at the door way,
leading to outside.
I can't seem to make myself go out all the way,
it is a point of pride.

Yet, I really want to feel the sun,
and maybe chew some plants.
But there are stingy buzzy things!
There are creepy ants!

I want to go outside!
No, I really don't.
Oh, heck, my cat-mom's holding open the door,
usually, she's won't.

"Are you out or in?"
The question's not much fun.
Inside everything is cozy,
but outside is the sun!

Oh, I can't decide.
It's too hard a decision to make.
There's really so much to consider,
so many things at stake.

Can't I stay right here?
Halfway in, halfway out?
You know it's the best decision,
really, without a doubt!]]></content:encoded>

		<title>The Ballad of Old, Poor Donald</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ** This is Heather, Solo's cat-mom, sneaking into her diary while she stares out the window stalking Whitey, our homeless cat who she pretends to hate but I think she may have a crush on (but she's not allowed to, since he comes from the wrong side of the tracks and is a fighter.) Now that I've embarrassed her, she is probably plotting her retaliation, so I should get my story out quickly here.***

This here's the story of Donald,
oh, you poor, poor duck.
Why were you standing in the road?
Planted as if stuck?

Oh Donald I am so sorry
for hitting you with my car.
I hope that you can hear me,
where ever that you are.

You never had a chance,
it's totally all my fault.
You never saw it coming,
until you met the hot asphalt.

I need to pay attention,
and watch out for the road.
I never want to smash anything again,
not beast, nor fowl, nor toad.

Donald, please forgive me,
are you in a better place?
Maybe the weather's cooler,
with nice lady ducks to chase?

After your feathers went flying,
I felt such sad despair.
Please know I never meant to hurt you,
and that I really care.

We celebrate your lifetime,
as you're laid to rest.
I hope you're wading in the big duck pond in the sky,
and that it is the best!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am not sure what to write,
I think all day and think all night.
I want to seem fun and totally witty,
but can't think up words, not even a bitty.
Right now, I feel like such the blank slate,
and I tell you, the feeling's not great.
I want to seem smart, I want to seem cool,
I feel like I'm just sitting, watching myself drool.
Paws stretched out all the way, I try, try to type,
but nothing's coming out at all, nothing sounds right.
I growl at the keyboard for some inspiration,
luckily fur masks all persperation.
Oh, what a quandry, I don't know what to do,
I need to publish an entry for you!
I promise that truly, I am so not dumb,
but coming up empty, the feeling's not fun.
For whatever reason, I sit here quite stumped,
hopefully soon, into my head, some words will be dumped!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My cat-mom went away,
twas only for a day,
but now she's back to stay,
and promises to play.

I say to travel- NO.
There's no place great to go!
Within the house we'll grow.
Staying home rules, you know?

She said she'd be back fast,
but it seemed to last and last.
I'm glad it's in the past.
I was feeling quite aghast!

So now I'm watching her with my eye,
so she does not slip out "Goodbye!"
It's not so hard to try.
Sure, she could go out, but why?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What are some things that give me a fright?
Cats aren't scared of bumps in the night.
Seeing the bottom of the foodbowl is another story,
that's downright scary and awfully gory!
A ban on the tuna, now that isn't funny!
Scary is hearing it'll never be sunny.
Facing a tubfull of water is the worst,
as is standing below a water balloon ready to burst.
It's true, we cats often get scared,
but we won't tell you, even if dared.
Not having cat-mom around can often be creepy,
I like her around, even if I'm sleepy.
It's also frightening when I can't reach my sparkly puff-
it's too far under the couch with the dust and the fluff.
When I have to eat the store brand of food,
that's always scary, it's never good!
So, as you see, we are scaredy-cats,
but it may scare us too if you do call us that!]]></content:encoded>

do not leave me all alone.
Why go out when you can stay?
We can spend the time and play!
Don't try to journey oh so far,
don't ride the train or get in the car.
Don't walk down the road or run a mile,
if you stay home I'll make you smile!
We can stay huddled in the house,
chasing a pom pom or a furry blue mouse.
There's so much to do just right here,
no need to get all suited up in your gear.
Just leave it all, we'll have fun,
we'll play until the day is done!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, my my, what a fright!
To hear the alarm in the midst of the night!
Never did I plan to cause such scare,
what a crazy, sordid affair!
Here I thought I was protecting
MY special house from the other cat detecting,
trying to weasel his homeless way in,
"Your entrance is DENIED," I tried to tell him!
Yeah, my cat-mom feeds him and gives him some treats,
"It's a hard life he has, out on the streets."
But last night he showed up, a little past five,
at that time, only creepy things are alive!
I spotted him lurking around the glass door,
having feasted on food, he wanted some more!
But upstairs, lay sleeping, my cat mom, unaware,
that flea-bitten fighter wasn't getting in anywhere!
So I hissed at the glass with him standing outside,
"Get out of here! Just walk on by!"
I pawed at the rug, I bared my own fangs,
but I guess he was giving in to his hunger pangs.
So, I bumped into the glass, and oh, what a noise!
It could wake up all neighborhood sleeping girls and boys.
How could something as little as me
cause something so loud and so awfully noisy?
So I tripped the alarm, so now we know it works!
And protects us from evil invading cat jerks!
My cat-mom didn't really see me as being brave,
she began to rant and sort of to rave.
"Oh, I thought someone was breaking in!"
But, oh, can't you see? Someone was! Him!
It didn't seem to matter, she did cuddle me,
and told me that I'm too cute for her to be angry.
Good thing I did not promise to not do it again,
I'm waiting for tonight, maybe past ten.
Because if he appears, I'll have to do my best,
to keep him away, he is such a pest!
And if I should happen to cause an alarm,
I'll just say I'm protecting us from any bad harm!]]></content:encoded>

Cold and icy it is not.
Upon a wave of heat I float,
Pollen catches in my throat,
A thick fur coat I’ve got.

The heat, the heat,
Rising temperatures to beat.
I’m glad to stay inside,
And not a heat wave ride,
Air conditioning is neat.

The sun, the sun,
It’s warming everyone.
Soak up sunshine
If you’re so inclined,
But burning is not fun.

Oh my, oh my,
Look up in the sky.
That big ball of fire,
Does so inspire,
A nap, I think I’ll try.]]></content:encoded>

but not in the muck.
The wind, it blew,
all the way through.
And shut the door,
need I say more?
Oh, such gloom,
trapped in the room!
As much as I tried,
as much as I tried,
cats can't turn knobs,
with paws like blobs.
Trapped in that place,
time did not race.
But soon cat-mom came home,
and I was no longer alone.
She found me there,
and she really did care!
She snuggled me quite,
and was sorry for my fright.
I hope it doesn't happen again!
What would I do then!
Wind, do not come back,
or I will attack!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When you walk up, up the stairs,
I am always watching there.
When you get into the bed,
look over and see my little head.
I'll follow you from room to room,
maybe hide behind a ratty broom.
If you go into the shower,
check for me in about an hour.
Don't worry, you won't step on me,
between your feet I'm quick as can be.
If you sit to stare at the sky,
I'll be laying somewhere nearby.
You may not always be able to see,
but I'm there, you can count on me.
Maybe my fluffy tail sticks out,
or maybe my collar rattles the spout.
You might hear a rustle as I pass by,
always keeping you in my eagle eye.
If you see me start to frown,
you're moving too much, go lay down!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Little flower, peeking through,
I wish I could put my nose on you.
I wouldn't mind if I sniffed some soil,
your greenie sweetness would not spoil.
Soon, with love, you will sprout,
and become pretty, I have no doubt.
Maybe you'll have leaves that I can chew,
or maybe I'll just have to stare at you.
From a little seed you'll soon become
a pleasure to gaze at for everyone.
A little bit of color you'll bring to the deck,
who'd have thought, all that, from a tiny speck.
Right now, you're tiny, bitty, and small,
but if you try real hard, you can grow tall.
Through my window I track your pot,
I like to watch you a whole big lot.
Growing right before my eyes,
and what you'll become is the big surprise!
Maybe one day soon, I'll try to sneak
outside to your world, and take a peek!]]></content:encoded>

Give it to me cold,
Tuna tastes so good,
It never can get cold.

Serve it to me spiced,
Or serve it to me plain.
BBQ it outside,
Or keep it inside if there’s rain.

I’ll take a heaping platter,
I’ll suffer a tiny piece.
I’ll take it on sparse lettuce,
Or floating high on grease.

Send it my way canned,
Send it my way grilled.
When I have my face in a bowl of tuna,
I’m never less than thrilled.

You can leave out all the extras,
I don’t need fries with that.
Just give me extra tuna,
It’ll never make me fat.

Let me have that tuna,
It’s scent is so divine.
Make me a happy kitty,
Say that all that tuna’s mine!]]></content:encoded>

to escape from your hug.
It's not that I don't like you,
but when stalking, hugs won't do.

Do not try to cuddle,
my actions may befuddle.
I'm trying to be unseen,
do you know what I mean?

You may think it's funny,
but I'm eyeing up that bunny.
Or maybe a bird I'm tracking,
for a later midnight snacking.

So don't you call attention,
or so should I not mention?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oliver, he went away,
His parents packed him up one day.
Off he went, in a big white van,
It was over before it began.
He used to come around my door,
Wanting treats and begging for more.
I would hiss and growl at him,
He wasn’t homeless and didn’t look thin.
He was actually quite a handsome fellow,
Who, despite all my pouncing, always remained mellow.
My cat-mom said we were engaged,
But when I saw him, I was mostly enraged!
“Stay in your own house,” I said,
Seeing him just made me red!
“Stop coming around and acting cute,
In your white and black furry suit!”
I’d press against the sliding glass,
And watch as he ate from MY own grass.
Why was he outside his home?
Did he not like staying all alone?
My cat-mom said, “He’s really handsome,
I hope no one kidnaps him for a ransom!”
But now, he will come ‘round never,
I didn’t know our last date was forever!
I kind of miss his handsome face,
It’s not the same all ‘round this place.
I hope he likes his newer life,
And that he finds another “wife.”
I guess the engagement is off and everything,
Hey, I never got a ring!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A cat inside a bathing suit,
is something people'd think is pretty cute.
"Put some suntan lotion on your fur!"
"Oh, how sweet!" they'd all concur.
It's getting on time to hit the beach,
in the corners of the coast that the sun does reach.
People pack up their coolers and chairs,
and head to the water to catch nearby stares.
Collecting shells would be fun, I think,
but getting near the water would surely stink!
Yes, it's true, there's plenty of fish,
but in a plate, or a can, would be my wish.
I do not want to find them at their natural habitat,
there's wet watery water and all icky stuff like that!
I don't wear sunglasses or inflated water wings,
don't give me a sunhat or other beach things.
I'm happy and content to lay in the sun,
but from INSIDE THE HOUSE is where I get that done!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Looking 0ut the window,
it all seems very pretty.
There is so much to see,
makes me feel so little bitty.

Inside my house seems big,
but the world outside is large.
I'm glad I live in here,
and that I am not in charge.

My cat-mom brings my food,
and keeps me supplied with toys.
I don't get too lonely,
I don't like little girls and boys.

One thing that's nice to know,
is that other cats look out too.
Maybe they're dreaming of the world,
are they? Are you?

If you look out hard enough,
maybe you'll see me looking too.
Maybe one day you'll see me,
maybe one day I'll see you.]]></content:encoded>

we're probably too far away.
We can't share a snack or fish,
you being my friend is my highest wish.
Although we are far apart,
having you as a friend would swell my heart.
I promise to be your bestest pal,
I really am an awesome gal.
Friends are nice to have around,
they pick you up when you're on the ground.
If you are feeling blue,
I will be a friend to you.
So come on, be my friend,
type an email, pick up a pen.
It will be the best thing ever,
if we are best friends together.]]></content:encoded>

A mouse is in my house!
I have no clue, for what to do?
I’ve never seen one, have you?

It’s true! It’s true!
Right before me and you.
The mouse I saw, was on the floor,
Oh, who knew what’s in store?

My cat-mom, she freaked out.
And rushed to put him out.
How did he get inside?
It is a point of pride.

It was a little scary.
And to think- how dare he!
Invade my space, my special place!
I hope he died nightmare-y.

No, that’s really mean.
He seemed to go pretty clean.
It was still a bit of a fright,
Cat-mom might not sleep tonight.

I wonder how he got in.
Where could the hole have been?
I’ll need to find it soon.
I don’t want his friends in my room.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is Friday to a cat?
It's not like we have work and all that.
We don't pack up a briefcase and head out the door,
to make, make the money, and make, make some more.
We don't punch a timeclock or chase the big bills,
we don't play the stock market and all of its thrills.
We don't wait on tables or push around a pen,
we don't ride the subway packed in with suited men.
We're not Dolly Parton, working nine to five,
there are no raises for which we strive.
So why, then, are we excited, for Friday to come?
Isn't each day the same, each, every one?
Well, from what I've seen, here is my reason:
Friday means, it's cat-mom home-time season!
She's home for a weekend, no work to take her away,
we have close to 72 hours to eat junk food and play.
She won't get up early (unless I jump on the bed),
no dressing up nice- it's sweat suits instead!
There's more time in the day for her to give me treats,
and the best thing is, after Saturday, Sunday repeats!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Not to start an argument,
not to start a fight,
but please don't wear my fur,
it really isn't right.

I look so cute and fluffy,
but it's for a reason.
It keeps me from oversweating,
and warms me through cold season.

I only sport this fur,
because it came with me!
I'd never choose to buy it,
I'd run away and flee.

I'd hate to lose my fur,
I think it'd hurt so much.
So please don't buy our fur,
stay away from the stuff!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's always time to have a snack,
anytime you get a hunger attack.
Don't even try to hold back,
Get some fries or a Big Mac.

If you try to hold it in,
those hunger pains will just begin.
Oh, the sorry state you'll be in!
What are you trying to do? Get thin?

Take a moment and get to eat!
The full tummy feeling cannot be beat.
I think, to feast, is really neat.
Just belly on up and have a seat.

Or head to the kitchen and grab a plate.
Oh, those tasty smells are great.
You'll learn, come meal time, to never be late.
Hurry on in! There's no wait!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why do all the women
want to be so thin?
Can't they see that fluffy is cute
and what great shape they're in?

I watch my cat-mom diet,
and I shake my head.
For me to skip a tuna snack
I'd really have to be dead.

No, I enjoy feasting,
it just adds right to my fluff.
I'm ten pounds of furry love,
my cat-mom can't get enough.

So, I try to reason,
it's good to be fluffy.
Seeing bones and hungry faces
is not the way to be.

Still, she does not listen
when I talk about that.
She says, "What do I know?"
I am just a cat!]]></content:encoded>

Those pictures on there are all the same!
When will my face grace the site?
I think about it day and night!
I want to be of the chosen few,
please, please tell me what to do.
Do I need to sing and dance?
Shower someone with romance?
Look quite perky and all fluffed out?
Not being chosen is making me pout.
Do I need some professional pics?
Should I pose with leaves and sticks?
Can't you see how cute I am?
I want to be picked, I know I can!
Every day, I wait and hope,
I make sure I am clean (but no soap.)
I'm certainly ready for all the glory,
I think I would make a really good story!
Sometimes I'm too nervous to even peek,
Oh, please, please, please make me cat of the week!]]></content:encoded>

At times it's kind of scary!
I like to knock things over,
and make it sound all blarey!

Maybe I'll climb up high,
and push things off a shelf.
It's cool to see how loud I can get it
from just my little kitty self.

Clang! Boom! Gong!
It's fun to see things fall.
Knocking over, pushing round,
I'll try them one and all.

No matter how it happens,
try to make it LOUD.
Then you can look all innocent,
but inside you'll be proud.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Little fluffies fall on down,
they drift and float right to the ground.
Tiny hairs collect in a ball,
shed them one, shed them all.
Coat the world with the softest fluff,
maybe then that will be enough.
If everything was fluffier, would we still fight?
And argue and kill all through the night?
With cozy fuzzies everywhere,
everyone would have more care.
So let's gather together and shed, shed, shed,
shed when you eat, shed when in bed.
If you're like me, you've got it to spare,
so go on, get out, and shed some of that hair!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It doesn't take much time to play
out of 24 hours in a day.
I know things can get rushed and fast,
but playing sure is such a blast.
I know you're tired from a long day at work,
maybe dealing in traffic with a road rage jerk.
Or having to schlep from chore to chore,
really makes life such a bore.
But playing can be a bright spot for you and me,
you'll see what a happy, fun time it can be.
So give me a minute or two when you're home,
we can play watching TV or when you're on the phone.
Swing around my shoelace or throw me a puff,
you can play with anything, any old stuff.
I just want to spend some quality time,
with this old hard working friend here of mine.
You come and you go each day so fast,
I worrry so much that our time will not last.
So instead of rushing right off to bed,
try to plan some playing time into your head.
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting for you,
can you think of some playing that we could do?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, my cat mom changed my food 
to something icky and so not good.
She thought it was actually something better,
I wish the salesman had not let her.
Although I'm a cat that loves to eat
suffering through that sludge was no treat.
Instead I took a hunger strike,
and her panic so did spike.
She worried that maybe something was wrong,
I was like, "What took you so long!"
My food is some special expensive stuff,
even so, I won't eat enough!
I want my old flavor to come back,
this other stuff is a nasty attack.
Today she promised to get me the good kind,
so finally, my stress will unwind.
So, I say, don't eat the crap,
go on strike or take a nap.
Soon enough, they'll start to worry,
and get your good stuff back in a hurry!]]></content:encoded>

so much cake for us to attack.
Some with frosting or with chips,
tiny cupcakes or big as ships.
There are layers ten feet tall,
vanilla, chocolate, I want it all.
Let me have a taste or two,
maybe I'll even share with you.
Cakes that puff up in the oven,
baked in a rush or with some lovin'.
Cakes made with pudding, no need to bake,
it's hard to choose which one to take.
I like the flowers they put on top,
eating cake, you don't want to stop.
Don't forget cookies, souffles, and pies,
a treat for your stomach, mouth, and eyes.
They taste so good and look so purty,
just watch that they don't make your stomach hurty.]]></content:encoded>

Hot ears, hot ears,
oh, my dears,
as evening comes near,
I have hot ears.

I say, don't worry,
my vision's not blurry,
I'm still oh-so-furry,

"Oh, your head!"
she fretted and said,

She seemed to see red.

about my hot ears,
can you tell if it matters?
My cat-mom's in tatters.

Yeah, my ears are hot,
are yours not?
Sometimes they're fine,
these ears of mine.

It's funny, this heat,
just my ears, not my feet,
is it something to beat?
Some help would be sweet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wiggling, wiggling on the floor,
never is any chore.
Stretching out in the sun
really is the highest fun.
Touch my belly with those rays,
my legs and arms and paws are splayed.
Around and around and around I roll
for whom does that sun's sunniness toll?
Come through the window and into the house
I'll give up from chasing my ragged stuffed mouse.
I like to go back and forth in the sun's heat,
letting it warm me right through my feet.
If only you could come all the time,
but I know rain helps make the crops fine.
So when you're here, I'll overindulge,
and suck you all in until my tummy will bulge.
I bet you feel nice on everyone,
so come on back soon, Mr or Ms Sun!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why rush around?
Sweat is gross.
I love to laze around
the most.

Exercycles
and those bikes,
just thinking about them,
my heart rate spikes.

Lifting weights?
Running far?
People, realize,
who you are!

Take time to lay out
in the sun.
Doing push ups
is not fun.

It'll take time
till you realize that
excercise takes away
time with your cat!

I can't imagine
what I'd want to do less.
Exercise is a gross
sweaty mess.

If needed,
I'd bench press a tuna fish.
But to laze forever
is my wish.]]></content:encoded>

you're tempting and smell so sweet.
I thought I'd sneak in and much on you,
candy-colored floral treat.

I nibbled on your leaves,
green as grass outside.
How was I to know
you'd take my digestive system for a ride?

Oh, I felt so sick,
I puked everywhere in sight.
I puked all through the evening.
I puked all through the night.

Why do you smell so good
if you're purely bad?
Why are you so tempting?
Oh! It makes me mad.

it's not very nice to see...

on the carpet looking back at me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ She says the petsitter is coming,
to pay me a quick visit.
This petsitter thing is scary,
really, just what is it?

Will this lady sit on me?
Will she squash me flat?
I'm pretty sure I would not enjoy
anything like that.

Cat-Mom is going away,
setting sail on a little trip.
She says this petsitter will make sure
my quality of life will not slip.

She says she'll fill my water,
and make sure my food's not empty.
But she promises, promises, promises
that the catsitter won't sit on me!

How do I know it's true?
Why does she have that name?
What if she's the reining queen
of the cat squashing hall of fame?

I guess I'll have to wait and watch,
and get ready if I have to push.
I'll start working out my claws right now,
in case she tries to smoosh!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is it to puke and hurl?
It's not behavior for a girl.
Gak, gak, gak, I spit it out,
it makes my cat-mom weep and pout.
Gurgling noises from my throat,
nauseous like I'm on a boat.
I get to revisit with my food,
but really, it's not all that good.
My whole body shakes and shivers,
my ears twitch back and my tail quivers.
I try to make it all in a neat pile,
sometimes I'm quick,  sometimes it takes me a while.
It leaves a yucky, yucky stain,
but my cat-mom will never complain!
She checks to make sure that I'm alright,
I guess it gives her a bigger fright!
Thowing up is no great present,
it's not at all nice or pleasant.]]></content:encoded>

I could really use a nap.
All this eating and some sunning,
the energy, does sap.

Boy, I am so sleepy,
let me just catch some winks.
It takes a lot of energy
to keep up my cat hijinks.

Lazing around all day,
does certainly take its toll.
I'd like to go stretch on out
upon a grassy knoll.

It's an effort to look so cute,
to be such an inspiration.
I could use a nap, a rest, a snooze,
some needed relaxation!

I'll just take a quick one,
from me you won't hear a peep.
I've already expounded so much energy,
just talking about my sleep!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Into her arm I sink my teeth,
no she does not taste like beef.
The skin will stretch but does not tear,
she thinks I'm cute so she does not care.
I usually don't use my fangs that much,
just for chewing food and such.
But occasionally, since I am a cat,
I see something and must bite down on that!
Can you fault me? It's in my genes,
I am not trying to be very mean.
I was born with these fangs for a reason,
and occasionally, it's open season!
My bite is sharp but I have no bark,
I only get fangy as a lark.
I'm so cute, you know it's true,
say it or I'll bite down on you!]]></content:encoded>

that's making me feel so like this.
I want to snuggle more and more-
for me that used to be a chore!
I avoided contact and would flee,
if my cat-mom tried to snuggle me.
But now I jump right on her lap,
and settle in for a nice long nap.
When she's stretched out on the couch,
I settle into the blanket like a pouch.
I know that she is overjoyed,
I'm much better than a toy.
This cuddling, I can't get enough,
I like to snuggle and share my fluff.
Snuggling is the perfect way to rest,
yes, I do think snuggling's best!]]></content:encoded>

it is where I lay my head.

Candles scent and fill the air,
I can sleep without a care.
Dreams will come and fill my day,
resting takes my cares away.
I know I look cute curled in a ball,
I'm the cutest of them all.

3- No hairballs in 2006!

I'll sleep whenever I get that chance,
a little here or there.
On the couch or on the bed,
it doesn't matter where.

The closing of my eyes,
ah, it is such pleasure.
Nothing else could come quite close,
that happiness could measure.

A little yawn, I feel it soon,
it is sleepy time.
Slumber, sleep, nappety-nap,
you will soon be mine!]]></content:encoded>

I hope you get the shinest, most popular new toy.
Happiest of holidays to every fluffy cat,
best of health and lots of food, nothing better than that.
I hope everyone has a great day, sharing it with love.
Receiving warm new shirts, blankets, or a glove.
Lots of yummy food to eat, I'll gorge a bit today.
And why not? Tis the season, it's a holiday!
Candles lit and fill the air, taking it easy.
I hope this day, for you, is nice, fun, and breezy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lying is so bad,
it's really just pure crap.
It won't have you feeling glad,
you'll be right in a trap.
Why do people lie?
I do not understand.
It has me asking "Why?"
Could you give me a hand?
Honesty, it seems,
is the best policy.
And from what I've gleaned,
most folks agree with me!
But there are always those,
who like to harm and hurt.
From them, the lying flows,
to make others feel like dirt.
I am not trying to take the glory,
by telling you this now.
I'm just passing along a story,
to be honest and how.
Me, I do not fib,
I do not think it's right.
But I see others, they're so glib,
but it only causes a fight.
So, again, I say,
let's all try to stay quite true.
It'll make a brighter day,
and be much better for you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As Solo pokes her head out the window, I take a moment to sneak into her diary and leave her a surprise note (which I am sure she would rather have in tuna form) to tell her how happy I am that we adopted each other five years ago today. A lot happens in five years. Way more than I've shared with anyon else in this lifetime. And there is nothing else that can warm my heart like the sight of her fuzzy head, pointy ears, and huge eyes. Lately, she has started sitting on me more and snuggling a lot, which makes me happy. Maybe she realizes the long road we've traveled together as well as I have. Anyway, she'll claw me in my sleep if I get too mushy on here and embarrass her in front of all her pals, so I'll stop short. But I couldn't let today go by without announcing to all of Catster that me and my bestest furry buddy are celebrating today. Tuna treats for everyone.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have found, you will see,
it it surely better to be 
a single cat, just the one,
being married is no fun.
I get my Cat-Mom to myself,
I can lay on ANY shelf.
Every toy is solely mine,
being single is really fine.
I can prowl the windows and look on out,
no tom cat will make me pout.
I don't have to get fluffed up for any one,
I can lay the whole day near the sun.
Every tuna flake is totally my own,
you're not lonely, you're just lone!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hanukah is coming,
What do you want to get?
I am hoping this year
Will be the best gifts yet!
I’d like to find my weight in tuna,
Waiting for me here.
I’ll take a 6-pack of kitty kaviar,
You can keep the beer.
Bring me lots of sparkly puffs,
Shower me with wands.
I’ll take a soft and sunny place,
I’m not much into ponds.
As you spin the dreidel,
Don’t forget your cat.
When you’re eating latkes,
We’ll take some of that.
I promise not to get too close,
To those candle flames.
You can promise us new sparkly collars,
Engraved with our names.
I’ll take a new crinkle mouse,
Or maybe two or three.
Hanukah is really much better,
When you share it with me!]]></content:encoded>

It's yummy and scrumptious, do you know what I mean?
I don't go outside, so inside it grows,
and when I eat it, it tickles my nose.
It's really quite fun to chew on the strands,
eating cat grass is great, everyone understands.
It's quite a treat when it comes from the store,
I could eat it and eat it and eat it some more.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hairball, hairball, on the floor,
don't you come 'round here no more.
You clog my throat and make me cough,
I wish that you would bugger off.
Upon the floor, you make a stain,
I hear cleaning you up is a big pain.

Hairball, hairball, go away,
don't come 'round here on ANY day.
For you, many medicines, I do take,
yet, occasionally, I cannot escape.
I hurl you out upon the rug,
what can I do but hurl and shrug?

Hairball, hairball, I may be fluffy,
but go away, stop bugging me.
I like my fur upon my skin,
not in my belly, deep within.
I try not to swallow you,
but when I'm grooming, what else can I do?

Hairball, hairball, don't come back,
don't make me have a hurl attack.
I hate how you give me a scare,
then I hurl and see you laying there.
You're gross and messy, all gunky foam,
hairball, hairball, leave me alone!]]></content:encoded>

What IS a turkey to do.
It certainly can't run
as fast as  the sun
to escape eaters like YOU.

Gobbledy, gobbledy, gack.
Turkeys, look out for the attack!
I'd sure like to munch
a turkey for lunch,
or maybe an additional snack.

Gobbledy, gobbledy, geer.
Thanksgiving is soon almost here.
I'm expressing my need
for some turkey, I'll feed,
but I won't wash it down with the beer.

Gobbledy, gobbledy, gat.
Poor turkeys, you'll soon go ka-splat!
It may not be right as rain,
but it is the food chain,
I'm higher than you, as a cat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Staring at a spot upon the floor,
I stare and stare and stare some more.
My cat-mom thinks there's something wrong,
because I sit and stare so long.
It makes her think there's a bug or critter,
she hates those bugs, they make her bitter.
I think it's funny because she'll jump out of her chair,
and try to see what's going on there.
I can sit fixed to my spot for hours and hours,
I have really good staring powers.
I point my ears and widen my eyes,
I look like I've seen a big surprise.
I keep my head pointed just so,
"WHAT IS THERE?!" she wants to know.
Giggle, giggle, it's really naught,
stopping would be good, I know I ought.
But it's fun to sit and stare,
and make her look just everywhere.
I don't do it all the time,
just a little, don't cross the line.
Try the ceiling, or maybe the wall,
pick your spots, stare at them all!]]></content:encoded>

she doesn't think I know.
She doesn't look so aged,
those wrinkles don't show.
If it were MY birthday,
the tuna sure would flow.

It's almost her birthday,
what gift could I buy?
I think I'll just look extra cute,
(I really don't need to try.)
I'll just puff up extra fluffy,
and wink at her with my eye.

It's almost her birthday,
hooray to another year.
Almost five that we've been together,
I'm glad that she is near.
I guess maybe I should tell her that,
I'll try to make her hear.

It's almost her birthday,
what present should I get?
It's not as if she sits around
waiting for something or expect.
I guess I'll just appear on her lap,
as her present, as her pet!]]></content:encoded>

cuddling up more of the time.
I'll share your blanket and fluff out a bit,
I'll sit closer to where you sit.
Flannel feels good to my fur,
new smells in the air like cinnamon stir.
Outside I see a bigger breeze,
leaves float by with careless ease.
The weather is changing, it seems mostly chill,
fleece and blankets and covers inside the house fill.
It's getting cold, so it's OK with me,
to spend more time getting cuddly.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I gave a funny sight,
my cat-mom laughed with such delight.
To find me perched atop the sink,
it's not THAT funny, I don't think.
Yet she giggled with lots of glee,
at the very sight of me,
sitting on the counter, looking so fine,
it's just that the bathroom, I've found, is devine!
Why have I never played here before?
Why have I not ventured past the door?
It could be that the bath scares me,
a wet soggy cat, I'll never be.
Yet when the bathroom is quiet and very dry,
it seems like a great place to pass time by.
So up, up I climbed, right to the ledge,
looking far down gives me quite the edge.
I can see new perspectives from this new perch,
and into far corners, my big eyes can search.
So, my fears are conquered, they're no longer there-
of you, fearful sink, I'm no longer scared!]]></content:encoded>

squeaky, screechy, cats galore.
All walks of life and many fames,
cats come in lots of lots of names.
Some are scratchy, some are quiet,
some are skinny, some on a diet.
We're brown and white and orange too,
we've got big brown eyes and some are blue.
Pointy ears with lots of sass,
we flop on rugs and skulk in the grass.
Big fat bellies and pretty paws,
we know that cats are without flaws.
Pointy, sharp, fangs of fear,
a super-duper sense to hear.
Roaming the land, we do rule strong,
and we all know- cats belong!]]></content:encoded>

I hope they're doing well.
The rest of us may seem so far away,
too far away to tell.

But we're all hoping
and hanging on to hear,
that the bad times are passing,
and good times coming near.

I wish I could pack up my tuna,
and send you all the cans.
I wish I could transport you,
to all the more safer lands.

Hopefully you're safer,
and being snuggled tight,
and those pets that are still roaming,
can find a warmer night.

I know I'm just a kitty,
furry, squeaky, small.
But I hate just sitting in my perch,
not helping here at all.

I try to send cat karma,
and push it out to you,
hopefully you can feel it,
and it helps if you are blue.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I don't know what's this feeling,
this wetness in my eye.
I think I've seen my cat-mom do it,
and thought she called it "Cry".

I'm not used to thinking
that everything's not right.
I usually laze each day-to-day,
and get frisky through the night.

But somehow, a few days now,
I feel this pain inside.
It makes my eyes get all soggy,
I want to run and hide.

My cat-mom may not realize,
but I can watch TV.
I read over her shoulder on the computer,
and I'm afraid of what I see.

The cats of the French Quarter,
the dogs of Bourbon Street.
I am so afraid their little bodies won't keep up
with all the pain they're going to meet.

We can't stand up in water,
we can't survive without our homes.
And then there are those whose people were washed away,
these pets are all alone.

I'd give up every tuna,
every sparkly puff and treat.
If I could only send them
to these pets to play and eat.

I'd give up any sunshine,
I'd even take a bath.
So that these pets (and their people)
will suffer no more aftermath.

We're supposed to be "sophisticat-ed",
and fluff our fur with style.
Well, this cat just has to go
curl up and cry a while.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whitey comes and Whitey goes,
where that is, no one knows.
Sometime he's gone for many days,
sometime he shows up and sort of stays.
Cat-mom keeps his bowl quite filled,
and when she sees him she's sort of thrilled.
Ragged and torn, he's really rough,
life on the outside must be very tough.
Cat-mom gets sad when she sees his scars,
lots of fighting but not in bars.
Such a sweet face, she sadly cries,
can't anyone take in this cat surprise?
A big round head with rosy pink nose,
I bet a home would make Whitey glow.
Instead, the streets and bushes he prowls,
I cringe when I hear his nightly yowls.
I know he's probably getting hurt,
or trying to make a bed in some mushy dirt.
When we don't see him for a few days,
the skies have just a bit more grays.
I'm not saying I would want to share my house,
but Whitey shouldn't have to dine upon a mouse.
He needs love, shelter, toys, and food,
to keep him in a better mood.
Someone placed this cat outside,
without a thought to saving his hide.
So now he strolls and prowls and sleeks,
always having to keep an eye out for sneaks.
I try to keep my eye on him from above,
and try not to mind when Cat-mom gives him a little love.
I have so much, I guess I can spare,
Whitey does really need some care.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I saw a bug, it got away,
man that really ruined my day.
It ran away on legs so fast,
shot right by me and going past.
Slimy, gross, and hairy too,
I'm sure it would have scared all you.
I swiped at it a bit too quick,
didn't even get a proper flick.
I hate to think of where it's lurking,
and what bug spray it might be shirking.
How dare that it invade my space?
My house is mine, it's only MY place.
That bug better be hiding well,
if it's not, I can tell.
I'll unleash my furry fury,
and kill it in a real hurry.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thunder and lightening was so loud,
it must've made Mother Nature very proud.
I wasn't really all that scared,
though I wouldn't have gone outside if I was dared.
The dark room lit up with lots of light,
and rocked and rolled throughout the night.
Sometimes it was right overhead,
you couldn't even hear words that were said!
Rain, it came pouring down,
the crispy hot plants certainly did not frown.
I'm glad that I was safe inside,
going out, I would not have tried.
I sat on my cat-mom's bed for a while,
letting her pet me for a trial.
But then I had to go explore,
every corner, shadow, and door.
The storm seems to make them come alive,
excitement buzzing like a beehive.
It's a cool relief from all the neat,
I do think storms are pretty neat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Pose for the picture,
the camera guy did say.
But don't I look this gorgeous
EVERY day?

My cat-mom set the scene
and she and I posed.
I sniffed all around
and buried my nose.

But she got me to look
right into the lens.
She's so excited for these shots,
tonight's when it ends.

She goes and gets the prints,
she's quaking to see.
Just how we look,
so cute and fancy.

I know she's been waiting
like over two weeks.
Now counting the hours,
she can hardly speak.

She says she'll put
a picture at work.
So she can stare at me
instead of some jerk.

Posing for photos
is not really so bad.
It's way better than 
some vet trips I've had.

I'm not really a model
but I do look quite fine.
Maybe I should be less cute
or we'll be doing pictures all the time!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man, it’s hot,
A block of ice,
Would hit the spot,
And feel so nice.

The sun is high
And pouring down.
It heats up the sky,
Makes flowers frown.

My paw pads would sear
If I touched the ground.
I wouldn’t go near
Or even come ‘round.

Feeling the burn
I’m happy inside.
Won’t Mother Nature learn?
This is a hard ride.

I drink from a cool bowl,
And sleep in the shade.
Waiting for summer’s scowl
Quickly to fade.

Though I’ll be crying
When winter comes near.
I’d be really lying
If I didn’t say my fear.

I hate being cold,
It’s always so tricky.
Now you’ve been told,
I’m really quite picky!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My cat mom seems to have no luck
In finding a guy with some pluck.
She thinks it’s all a waste of time,
Dating’s sour, like a lime.
I watch the suitors come and go,
Although she recently stopped the flow.
She said she’d rather stay with me,
There’s no place else she’d want to be.
Though I agree, I’m the best,
There are times I like to rest!
And to have her stare at me,
Is a little bit creepy!
I’d like to try to marry her off,
But no one seems to come across.
I set a pretty high standard,
She says that dating is way too hard.
I see her reading books at home,
Because of me, she’s not alone.
I wouldn’t want a guy with cats,
I’d quickly put a stop to that.
But someone who thinks I’m great,
Should hurry hurry, not be late.
If he’ll give me lots of treats,
And make sure she really eats.
If he’ll play games but not the head kind,
If he’s quite generous with his free time.
If he’ll throw me a sparkly puff,
If he’s nice, that is enough.
She says she’s happy, just us two,
But I feel that this I must do.
Through my cat channels, I try to fix her up,
Though not with the dad of some drooling great pup.
Actually, a pup is not bad,
But forbidden is someone who is a cat dad!
Each day she comes home and cuddles me tight,
I wish she had someone to kiss us good night.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In my stroller it's really fun,
I can stroll out in the sun.
With the mesh protecting me,
there's so much now that I can see.
My cat-mom wheels me all around,
my furry feet never touch the ground.
I rest on a nice soft fluffy pad,
since my stroller came, I'm so glad!
It's fun to stroll around the lake,
it doesn't matter how long it may take.
I can feel the breeze right through the flaps,
and don't get messy from any duck traps!
I pass right by dogs walking quick,
they look at me like I'm a trick!
I can curl up and just gaze at the sights,
watching bird take off in flights.
I don't even mind if we hit a few bumps,
my stroller protects me from any big lumps.
I recommend a stroller for you,
then maybe we could go strollin' too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy birthday to me, me, me,
what a happy world it be.
The sun is shining and the bird do sing
their birthday song and everything.

Today, big world, I'm five years old,
that's a lot, so they say, I'm told.
Once a little scrawny critter,
earmites and slop made me really bitter.

But how far I've come right now!
My house and toys make me say wow!
My cat-mom says I've got many years ahead,
she likes me sleeping on her bed.

She says that we will never part,
that I am always in her heart.
Tonight, special tuna waits for me,
on my plate, I can already see.

I am happy to have this birthday day,
and to other birthday cats I wish to say,
I hope it's the happiest one of all,
and that you have a big happy ball!

PS: For my birthday, I got a STROLLER!!! I will write more about that another time. I also found another present of mine, but it's a secret- a crinkle tube!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, my goodness, how long it's been,
since a diary from me's been in.
I apologize for the delay,
I'm just so busy day to day.
Life's busy with lots of sleep,
one exerts so much to count those sheep.
Crunching food does really do tire,
those hours go so quickly, they do expire.
Hunting for a puff ball makes one busy,
staring out the window makes me whizzy.
Sure, I still have lots to write,
but, you know, I sleep at night!
Actually, I'm on the prowl,
expending my energy with a howl.
So, you see, I need more time,
to enter some more diaries of mine.
Maybe we can add an extra hour
to each day, extra power!
Then, we'll write our diaries,
before the time expire-ys!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That outside cat, he came around,
sniffing, sniffing at the ground.
A hungry looking fellow, he,
my cat-mom fed him with some glee.
Normally, I'd puff right up,
to see someone else sharing my sup.
But this cat, he looked so lean,
it was hard to be quite mean.
He was scared, and hung behind,
waiting to eat another time.
But the worst was what I saw,
a great big gash from someone else's paw.
It went from his side to his back,
from some awful night attack.
He looked so hurt, I felt so bad,
outside kitties make me sad.
So I watched him without a hiss
hoping he'd find the food with bliss.
I still rule over my territory,
but feel bad for this poor guy's story.]]></content:encoded>

They better not have stayed

My cat mom sprayed some can

Little black dots that move,

Hopefully, they'll go,
and no more ants will I know.
And the situation will no longer blow,
all good vibes will soon flow.]]></content:encoded>

and not get spanked upon my... (butt).
Because I'm cute, I can climb the wall
and not receive any punishment at all.
I can stick my head into a cup
and drink its contents quickly up.
I can pounce upon a sleeping friend
and hear cute laughter until the end.
If I make too much noise, it's OK,
because of how cute I am each day.
My cutie face helps me a lot,
why not work it, it's what I've got.
I can leave claw marks on peoples' arms,
and replace their "ouches" with my charms.
I can displace blinds and rustle the sheets,
being cute gives you such awesome cheats.
But, my cuteness comes in stride,
I do not take it for a ride.
After all, I don't want to abuse it,
and then, oh my goodness, I might lose it!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sometimes the outside world looks nice,
you want to go and explore.
You're looking from the inside out,
there seems to be so much more.
Fresh green grass and sniffy flowers,
walls to jump and climb.
Your imagination just can't even guess
what's out there and what you'll find.
But a solid wall of plexiglass
separates you and that world.
Sometimes your dreams of what's outside
will have to remain unfurled.
Yes, it may seem really neat
to explore the outside out there.
But your cat-person feels you need protecting,
and you should heed that special care.
What's inside can compensate,
and you can stare unlimitedly.
When you're wondering what's outside,
just go on an inside spree!]]></content:encoded>

it's really kind of cool.
I'd rather this than the dentist,
I'd rather this than go to skool.

I'm in a paper bag,
it's crunchy really fine.
I'd recommend it to everyone
who needed to pass some time.

It's both dark and kind of light,
so really not so scary.
It sort of quiets everything down,
so nothing is too blarey.

I can hide so well in here,
my cat-mom can't quite find me.
It's like a little cubbeyhole,
warm and really snuggly.

Yet I can also pounce,
and make a lot of noise.
That bag crumples really well,
better than my toys.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Diaries can be hard,
there's not always much to say.
Yet your public does await
your writings every day.
The pressure is immense,
to pick up that daily pen.
And spill about your activities,
your why, what, where, how, when.
Some days I just sleep,
and of course I eat some too.
But I don't think that's all that interesting,
but maybe you do, do you?
Other days my thoughts
are much more that profound.
And I find it easier
to find topics to expound.
Yet the flow of diary entries
sometimes does run dry.
I find that when that happens
I sometimes want to cry!
Yet I am a happy kitty,
so I'll reach way down to find,
ideas and thoughts and experiences
lurking deep within my mind.
The diary is important,
it helps us to be clear.
I promise that I'll really try
to keep putting entries right up here.]]></content:encoded>

it seems like there are bugs everywhere.
They crawl on the ground and in the air,
geez, these bugs are everywhere.

Bugs as far as the eye can see,
they're crawling, crawling, near to me.
I see them, they're as small as can be,
I'll trap them and then set them free.

Some have antlers and pointy things,
some are plain and some have rings.
Some make noises like a bird sings,
some aren't friendly with their stings.

Let's get rid of all these guys,
all the bees and all the flies.
They make us shiver and blink our eyes,
most people do quite so despise.

Replace all the bugs with cats, I say.
It'll make for a much cuter day.
Cats all around, cats out to play,
bugs bugs, go away.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When fluffy is the way to be
And humans don’t care about being puffy.
When treats are to be gobbled up,
And your whole point in life is to snack and sup.
When a full food bowl is simple heaven,
And mealtime can be three, nine, plus eleven.
When there are no words like shame or guilt,
When it’s always OK to eat on top of a quilt.
When the big thrill is a new treat taste,
And leaving over is always a waste.
When it’s always, always the time for a snack,
When “I’m too fat” feelings never attack.
When a cupcake won’t be an hour at the gym,
When worries go away about looking thin.
When bigger is better and always the best,
When you eat and eat more and then eat the rest.
When there’s no dread about eating your food,
When sniffy smells from the kitchen put you in the mood.
When you don’t cut back, restrict, hold back, or diet,
When you say “Batter it”, “Dip It”, “Coat It”, and “Fry it”.
When there’s nothing to eating but simple pleasure,
When you pour out the food and don’t stop to measure.
When there’s no words for “I’m getting fat”,
You’ll truly be eating just like a cat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Little bugs, crawling around,
you think you're so close to the ground.
My sniffer nose will sniff you out,
because I'm that good of a Bug Scout.
I like to sit and stare at you,
and wonder at the things you do.
I like to watch your slow slow crawl,
I won't try to crush you, not at all.
Although my cat-mom hates you such,
to me, you're not a bother much.
It's entertainment to watch you go,
wherever you're going in your buggy flow.
Of course, creepy crawlies sort of scare,
I sit further away while I watch and stare.
But little buggies are OK,
they cause some excitement in my day.
I may try to pat you with my paw,
hopefully, that's not a flaw.
I like you better than TV,
you're much more interesting to me.
Unfortunately, my cat-mom kills
and she doesn't even take any thrills!
So, I'd advise, to stay outside
when you're going for your buggy ride.
Crawl up the windows, it'll make me freak,
I guess I'm just a buggy geek.]]></content:encoded>

6. The sound of the vacuum cleaner AND the sound of the bathtub.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are bouncy balls that go up high.
Perches that let you climb the sky.
Feathery wands that float and dance.
Even cat dresses, shirts, and pants.
Furry mice to chew and chase.
Milk bottle caps all over the place.
Sparkly pom poms with glitter and glitz.
You could be covered in toys wherever you sit.
Blow some bubbles out in the air.
Toss me a puff ball here, there, everywhere.
Toys, toys, wherever the eye can peep.
Honestly, I'm tired, I'd rather sleep.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My cat-mom's back, she came and went,
I have no more need to rant and vent.
She came through the door, to my surprise,
and was a sight for my sore eyes.
Although I may not show, I'm glad,
because when she was gone, I was so sad.
I do not like to leave the house,
it scares me like a bug or mouse,
but when she leaves, I wish I could go,
to where, it's not like I really know.
I could sneak away in her suitcase,
and along the travel ways I'd race.
But actually, I hate to travel,
it makes my routine totally unravel.
Anyway, she returned and YAY!
Now she's back and here to stay.
I let her hug and squeeze me tight
and I stayed on her bed last night.
I figure if I'm extra cute, then,
she will not try to leave again.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm sneaking on while away from Solo.  

It's not the same when she's not hear,
my sadness is always really near.
No fluffy girl to smile at me,
basically, really, nothing fluffy.
I miss her so much it makes me cry,
I didn't realize how glad I was when she was nearby.
I know that I will see her soon
in two revelations of the moon.
No furballs around with big round eyes,
it's cloudy here in these non-cat skies.
I hope she's fine and doing well,
not missing me at all, being swell.
I'll just think of her again,
until the time I see her then.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What's this catsitter thing I hear?
Is it safe when it comes near?
I don't want someone sitting on me,
I'm fluffy and round as a cat can be.
Will she sit and squash me flat?
Like the outdoor front doormat?
I'll run away as fast as I can,
from any catsitter woman or man.
I hear the catsitter's coming soon,
will she squash me flat like the moon?
Please please please don't sit on me
I like being cat shaped and fluffy.
I can run faster than you can sit
catsitting, catsitting, what is it?
I don't know what's going to be
when this catsitter comes for me.
Be warned, catsitter, I am fast!
My claws will swipe you with a blast.
I'd suggest you take a fast exit
before you ever try to sit!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Is it cheating when I see
my cat-mom feeding someone other than me?
She snuck out today to feed a rangy cat
who looked as skinny as a rat.
She fed him treats I do not like
but yet still my jealousy it did spike.
He actually ran far away
maybe he didn't even eat those treats today.
But she called to him and it bothered me so
I wish that cat would go go go.
When he comes around I hiss
being the ONLY cat is bliss.
I hope my cat mom doesn't see him again
and if she does, what then?
Will she feed him and try to get him to come near?
Will she bring him inside I fear?
She has already told me, no, she won't,
adopting others for us is a "don't".
But still, I do not like to share,
even though I GUESS it's nice for her to care.
Other cat, go find someone else
who can feed your skinny self.
My cat mom found me and we are one,
I hope you find your cat mom under the sun.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What's outside the window?
I must, I must must see.
No matter what the time of night,
it's interesting to me.
Yes, I know it causes noise,
as I climb and shuffle.
But those pesky curtain shades
don't have themselves a muffle.
I cannot help but crawl between
to peer outside my home.
It's night and everything is silent,
still, throughout the evening, things roam.
It's my job to keep an eye
on everything below.
I watch the stars shift around
and bask in moonlight's glow.
My cat mom doesn't like the noise
that I seem to cause.
You'd think, for the great job I do,
she'd give me some applause!
She's learned to hook the curtains up
and roll them kind of high.
So when I climb underneath,
I can peek out with my eye.
Sometimes though, when she forgets,
it's my job to remind.
I do this by making extra noise,
I think that's awfully kind!]]></content:encoded>

she thinks I can't tell.
But I know something's up,
it's easy to smell.
I see that bag
every time,
she goes away,
I know the sign.
It's long black handle
and ribbon frill.
When it comes out,
there's fear instilled.
I hate that black
travel bag.
It makes my smile
start to sag.
She says that she
will always be back.
With my claws,
I'd like to bag-attack.
Once I tried
to climb inside.
She just pulled me out
and sort of sighed.
Into that evil
bag she'll place,
a little frame
with a picture of my face.
She says it's so
she doesn't get sad.
I say just
get rid of the bag!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have finally been able to pry the keyboard away from Solo and distracted her by tossing a few sparkly puffs drenched in Kitty Kaviar across the hall. That should keep her busy for like, a moment. I just wanted to take a moment and write here so she sees it the next time she gets on to write a diary that she brings such a smile to my face.

Like how she's totally taken to her new pink and red heart pet bed in the bay window of our new house. The best is that on nights I have school and come home a bit late (the outrage!), she is there waiting for me with her head poking through the slats of that window. When I approach the house and see those two little pointy ears, it is the best feeling.

Also, it's so funny how she and I have our "routines". Most nights, I spend some time watching TV and working on a rug hook kit. But about an hour before bedtime, I'll stop, and then it's wand toy time. Last night, as I was putting away the kit, Solo raced into the kitchen and stood squeaking up at the fridge (where her wand toys are). She KNEW the schedule! I can't help it if I have a GENIUS cat.

I also know that as soon as I make ANY sort of movement in the morning, she will jump onto the bed with the littlest squeak and demand her morning headscratch. It's funny to me because it means she's lurking somewhere STARING at me throughout the night, just waiting for me to move and "show" I am awake. Of course, should I move and decide I am not quite ready to get up, well, too bad. That doesn't exactly work with her schedule. So it's head scratch time no matter what.

Anyway, I know we all have things to brag about with our pets. These are mine. Solo will probably hairball into my favorite sweater now for embarrassing her.

**********************************
~~~ Yes, she is right. I am embarrassed, and we're going to now play "Just try and find the hairball, because I'm hiding it.  Heh  heh  heh. ~~~]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, you little can,
you hold the mostest joy.
When you open you always happiness
to every girl and boy.
Your texture is so meaty,
your juices savory.
When I know I'm getting some,
it gives me ecstacy.
I only like your fish flavors
do not think me too picky.
I like to snarf you down real fast
and get my nose sticky.
You truly are a feast
for those who get hard food.
Seeing you put out in my bowl,
really ups my mood.
I never knew you could pack
such a heavenly taste,
into such a little can,
none of it goes to waste!
Our rendezvous every Sunday
makes my heart beat fast.
Yet somehow I cannot bring myself
to make you really last.
I must have you quickly,
I like to feed my face.
Oh, Fancy Feast, you are always
welcome at my dinner place.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, it came home,
my newest feather toy.
We had to get this one because
wands, I tend, to destroy.
This one's big and feathery
in shades of pink and black.
It's got more stuff on it for me
to pounce and to attack.
It makes a jingly jangly noise,
I want to play right now.
But it'd hidden high up top,
to get it, I don't know how.
So I wait until it's time
for me and cat-mom to play.
I hope I hope I hope I hope
that it's a feather wand day!]]></content:encoded>

fur gets wet.
It's not the greatest 
for cats, I bet.
We like it warm,
nice and try.
Sitting in the rain
I would not try.
I feel bad
for the homeless pets.
Soggier and soggier
each one gets.
I hope they find
shelter soon.
A drier place,
with lots of room.
I run away
from any rain.
Just thinking about it
causes great pain.
I know it's good
for the flowers.
It helps them reach
their highest powers.
It gives us grass
that's really green.
Still I sometimes think
Mother Nature's mean.
But for now,
I'll stay inside.
Until the tide
of rain subsides.]]></content:encoded>

I just cannot help how cute I am,
I hope you will be my biggest fan.
I take a good photo, yes I know,
people notice wherever I go.
But a modeling life is not for me,
going outside is not worth money.
I prefer to be photo'ed only at home,
same from where any badness might roam.
I hope you enjoy what you see,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 10. Too many little kids- too many chances to play “bury the cat”.
9. I can “play beach” by laying on my window perch inside any day. I feel the sun sleepiness coming on right now…
8. Have you heard the one about the mad seagull who swooped down and carried off a cat?
7. Just imagine what a sand hairball might be like.
6. Although the ocean is a Vegas Palace Buffet of food for us, those fish don’t often spring from the waves. And we don’t like to WORK for our food.
5. Sunblock smells funny and would mat up our fur.
4. Don’t even THINK of putting a bikini or shorts on us.
3. How can you lay on a lounge chair, scratch our heads, toss sparkly puffs, open cans of Fancy Feast, fluff our tails, and sleep at the same time?
2. Someone with bad aim is going to throw a tennis ball our way. Then some big wet dog is going to come bounding up. And maybe mistake me for the ball.
1. They don’t make “swimmies” our size. Not like you’re getting us into the water anyway.]]></content:encoded>

because I do not wear them.
They're on the counter and in the sink,
I am trying to scare them.
We have ants, not in our pants,
how, then, did they invade?
My cat-mom went and bought some artillery-
the finest ant bombs that are made.
I do not like these ants,
they're little and black and gross.
They walk on tiny hairy legs
and even seem to float.
They crawl along but are scared of me
because I try to lick them.
When my cat-mom sees them,
she always tries to stick them.
The traps are set,
for now we have to wait.
Come on, little anty-ants,
we hope you eat the bait.
Go away and stop bothering us,
tiny black little jerks.
This is MY house now and you're not welcome,
I hope those ant traps work!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, a head scratch, could it be?
The nicest thing in history.
Those nails just rifle through my hair,
and scratch my ears, neck, everywhere.
I may have a furry head
but scratch right through that fur instead.
It feels like heavenly clouds await,
I'll take a head scratch early or late.
I feel like drifting off sublime
each time a head scratch becomes mine.
There is no finer thing in the land,
try one and you'll understand.
Short quick scratches or longer ones too,
giving a cat a head scratch is the best thing to do.
I like to close my eyes and purr,
as I feel those nails in my fur.
A prescription for a head scratch a day,
is what Doctor Solo would say!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had this feather from a toy
Playing with the wand gave me such joy.
Yet soon after it opened, the feather came out
And my cat-mom sure did pout.
I like to chew on that feather well,
It’s all feathery yummy tasty and swell.
It’s fun to attack and roll on the ground
I like having my feather around.
My cat-mom hides the feather from me
Yet I jump onto the counter and find it with glee.
She keeps saying she’ll soon “glue it back on”,
And then laughs when she sees that feather is gone.
I like to grab it in my teeth and run
And hide it somewhere in the sun.
Then she’ll find it again and then hide
And I’ll search once more for a feathery ride.
Sure, feathers on a wand are the MOSTEST fun thing
But a loose feather also has much fun to bring!]]></content:encoded>

you'd think I'd even touch the sky.
I don't know why I didn't think to do this before,
things look so tiny on the floor.
I jumped onto the counter, I'm such a sneak,
things in the sink, I needed a peek.
Now I can crawl just everywhere,
without a worry nor a care.
There's much more landscape where I am,
this climbing stuff, I am a fan!
My cat-mom isn't so agreeing,
she doesn't think my climbing is freeing.
So I'll just so it when I'm alone,
leave my climbing to when no one's home!
This counter territory's fine
and now, to explore, it's all mine!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, I was indulging in my usual Sunday Fancy Feast feast. I mean, I suffer for it- I have to have a wet-nap bath before I get this little taste of heaven. Anyway, my cat-mom put the bowl in front of me and I dove in. Only to be rudely interrupted when she picked me up and held me in front of the window! Right outside of it was another cat! This cat had just come strolling up and laid right down outside the window, looking at us. Who are you? Are you on this site? Are you my neighbor? You can't have any of my Fancy Feast, sorry. Maybe you can have some of the nasty new Meow Mix we are "trying". I looked at you through the window and then crawled through the blinds and made my "mean face" (which my cat-mom thinks is very cute, which is crazy! It's MEAN.) But you didn't go away, you just kept looking at my cat-mom. She admitted that she wanted to go outside and give you a treat. I followed you around as best as I could, but then you disappeared. Maybe you needed a friend? You can be my friend as long as you don't touch the Fancy Feast. We can play sparkly pom-pom.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I worked a charm,
no, not on a ball of yarn.
My cat-mom asked for me to help out,
so, my magic, I did spout.
Did you know that cats have powers?
That surpass the usual hours?
We can web a weave of spirit,
to help those who do most need it.
She asked me for a kitty favor,
and the help I did indeed savor.
I like to help out when I can,
as a magical kitty I certainly am.
She kissed me on the head for luck,
and so, my magic, I did pluck.
I tried with all my might to spin,
the best of luck would soon begin.
I like to think I helped with her success,
wouldn't that totally impress?
So, remember, treat us well,
and for you, we'll cast a spell!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There was of course, Garfield,
Lazing in the sun.
Never doing a day of work
Eating lasagna from everyone.
His girlfriend Arlene was really cool
Dressed up all in pink.
And then there was their weirdo cousin,
Nermal was his name, I think.
Let’s not forget from Disney time
Siamese twins Si and Am.
Then there was also Marie and all those Aristocats
Helping their fellow man.
There’s Hello Kitty and Chococat,
Two of the coolest kits.
The Cheshire cat will always invite you in
To match him in a game of wits.
Get Fuzzy’s Bucky
Would like to pick a fight.
To all the cats out there today
I wish you all good night!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I like to jump on the bed at night
and give my cat-mom a little fright.
You wouldn't think something as small as me
could make the biggest "PLOP" in history!
I may look little but I can bounce
my fur weighs much more than one ounce.
Onto the bed when it's pitch dark
whenever the idea might spark.
I like to chase my sparkly pom pom
no matter what part of the bed it's on.
I'll land with a THUD and scurry around
Finding what fun stuff is there to be found.
It's better at night to leap onto the bed
where my cat-mom is resting her head.
She doesn't seem to think that it is so much fun
she prefers my leaping to stay in the sun.
She says that it's "scary" for me to jump on
but I say I'm keeping the boogeymen gone!
It's funny to see her laying there so quiet
I prefer to jump on and start creating a riot!
Sleeping's for anytime really, not just night,
jumping on the bed at anytime's right!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my goodness, could it be?
Could I have an allergy?
My eyes are itchy, they haven't stopped yet,
how much more crabby can I get?
My nose is stuffed, it feels so clogged,
my head is drowsy and my brain is grogged.
There's yellow stuff everywhere
it floats right down and clings to my hair.
I want to scratch and use my claws
I'm yawny yawning from my jaws.
I guess it's the season, it's that time
for allergies to hit their prime.
I can't resist, the temptation's too much
I must itch and rub and scratch and such.
I look quite frightful after it all
eyelids droopy as if they'll fall.
Go away, you pollen yellow
you make me feel stressed, not mellow.
Allergies, they really stink,
let's get rid of them, I think.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What could you need that is outside?
There's nothing so great that I have spied.
It is my suggestion that inside, there's more,
so please, please, don't walk out that door!
Stay in here with me, it's fun,
we'll lay on the rug and bask in the sun.
You can't possibly WANT to go to work,
when, at home, my cuteness is a perk.
We can lay on the couch and sleep all day,
and if you're lucky, I'll ask you to play.
Inside we have our food and snacks,
and comfy beds for when sleep attacks.
At work you can't sleep or even lay down,
even the thought just brings me a frown.
So really, reconsider the idea once more,
you really don't need to walk out that door!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When cat people are sad, it's hard to deal,
I try to understand how they feel.
To me, I'd be cheered from a treat
or something otherwise tasty to eat.
Toss me a sparkly puff and I'm great
or place some tuna on my plate.
But when cat people are sad, it's hard to tell
just what to do to make them swell.
When my cat-mom is down, I try to rise
her spirits up and chase those sighs.
I fluff out my fur and do funny things
like racing up the steps or yowling at phone rings.
Maybe I'll pounce on something soft
just to get her spirits aloft.
I can tell she's not really cheery
that something is making her quite bleary.
I turn my cute factor up to ten
and let her pet me again and again.
When cat people are sad, it's much more involved,
it's easier for cat woes to be easily solved.
But I'll perservere and try my best
to chase her blues away with the rest.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Birds birds birds, can't you see?
Flock to my bird feeder, flock to me.
I am waiting to watch you eat
since I can't have you for my own treat.
Your feeder hangs, flying high,
can't you smell the seeds from the sky?
Why won't you come, you're still protected,
a big sheet of glass means you won't be affected.
I'll watch you from behind this safety
even though I know you're really tasty.
You're supposed to be my entertainment of days
so come and please, flock my way.
I'm waiting to see, your food is full
come in for a landing and on the feeder pull.
I promise not to sneak up behind your back,
really, a door, prevents my attack.
But I'm eager to watch you and plan my next move,
so birdies, come on, come eat your food!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This weekend, my cat-mom's friends came over. One of them is a "dog person", so I ignored her. The other has one cat so I made friendly. Guess what! Because of her, my cat-mom got me a bird feeder! OK, OK, it's not really for ME. Technically. But my cat-mom's friend said she got a bird feeder for her cat to watch and that it was really cool. Well, apparently my cat-mom got obsessed with the idea and went to Target and got me one too! It is hanging outside right where I can watch it from the big window. My cat-mom was mad yesterday because no birds had come. Do you think it's because they KNOW I am watching? Ready? Waiting? Salivating? Ha ha. Erm, just kidding. Anyway, here I sit, waiting for "Bird TV" to crank up. It is just so exciting. I am glad her friends came over, even if one of them doesn't have any cats. Here, birdy birdy birdy.]]></content:encoded>

knocking down plants and spilling their seeds.
Let's race up the stairs with a really loud thump,
and scrape by the walls with only a bump.
Let's go really fast to skid on the floors,
racing and chasing are never bad chores.
I bet I can catch you right by the tail,
I'll whiz quick by you with the speed of a sail.
All over the house together we'll go,
into each corner and every nook we know.
Speed is the essence, let's see how fast,
I know our energy will last and last.
Race me, come on, I've got lots of zip!
Chase me, chase me, I'm high on catnip!]]></content:encoded>

never do fret.
There's always fish available

There's salmon and perch

Tuna and scallops
all get the nod.
Even the sharks
are for you to munch,
skate and crawfish
make a nice lunch.
Flounder and roughy
all do the trick.
Sea bass, blowfish,
munch, chomp, bite, lick.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ High up on a shelf,
something calls to me.
It's green and smells good
and is really flowery.

It arrived soon after we moved
with a balloon tied in.
It was something of a gift
since we were movin'.

My cat-mom held me up
and really left me sniff.
Wow, oh my! Let me tell you,
that was quite a whiff.

The fronds were green and shiny,
with little purple buds.
Three flowers sprung from the middle,
certainly not any duds.

Yet when I tried to chomp,
I found myself denied.
I was put back on the ground,
even when I cried!

I tried to climb back up there
to get myself a taste.
Unfortunately my efforts failed,
it really was a waste.

I want to eat that plant!
I want to eat it now!
I know once I get it in myself
my tummy will say wow!

It smells so yummy good
I know it would taste great.
I'm drooling all over my chin
as I anticipate.

Sucking those leaves between my teeth
and tasting those pink flowers.
But I cannot reach it yet
no matter all my cat powers.

So I sit and wait
and muster my willpower, all.
And hope and hope it edges off the shelf
and into my mouth will fall.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Looking out my window, it is plain to see,
there is a whole big wide world right in front of me.
Flowers are just sprouting and the grass begins to grow
people drive around in these big fat cars, why, I'll never know.
Lots of birdies play right outside my door
I'd like to catch them in my mouth and chomp on them some more.
A bag might tumble by on its merry way
the skies might open and thunder down on a rainy day.
Recycling boxes sit, ready in the street,
my cat-mom comes in hauling bags of food for me to eat.
There's dirt and mulch and seeds and weeds
bikers and skaters and bladers, all speeds.
The sun bakes the streets, or so I would guess
though inside, I assume, there's always less stress.
A plane might pass by over my head
or it could be an eagle floating instead.
No matter the view, it's always the best
seen from my indoor perch, where I rest.]]></content:encoded>

I do appreciate!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, my cat-mom told me a secret. She said she was a little scared about moving into our new house tomorrow. I felt pretty good (not that she was scared, but that she was telling me because she is relying on me). So I have to be the brave one. I am a little scared too, I mean, what IS this place? I heard there were cats there before. I hope they didn't "hide" any hairballs and leave them for me. No, my cat-mom said the place had good cat karma and that will be good for me. But I have to sort of hide my own scaredy-catness and put on a brave front. We are moving tomorrow! I saw her put my toys and pictures in her car today. (She thinks she's being sneaky about setting up all my things in the NEW place, like I won't notice.) Well, I will put up the brave front. Luckilly, with all this fur, I can hide the goosebumps pretty well.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am moving really soon,
around the corner, not to the moon.
The boxes are packed and ready to go,
but here's my question, do you know-
how will my friends find me now?
In my new place, how how how?
What if I receive a lottery check?
I'll be gone from here, not a speck.
Will my fan letters reach me there?
Does the mail man even care?
What if something I ordered comes really late?
Will it reach my new estate?
My magazines ("Cat Fancy" of course),
will they arrive at my new household source?
What if someone wants to visit
yet cannot find me, saying, "Oh, where is it?"
What if someone just dropped by
and did not spot me with her eye?
I'll be gone from my current place
and going to my newer space.
Will everything follow and find me there?
It's a lot to think about, I'm aware.
I hope my friends and toys and things
make it over amongst everything.
It's almost time, this I know,
I hope you'll find me, when I go.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A word of advice from me to you,
when eating, slowness is what to do.
Don't chomp it down really fast,
make your food bowl last and last.
Take your time to taste and savor
suck right down the every flavor.
Whether hard and crunchy or soft to chew,
eating fast will make you blue.
I got so excited to get a snack
that, upon it, I did attack.
My Kitty Kaviar did disappear
a little too quick, my cat-mom did fear.
I thought it was cool to eat with speed
but then, my stomach, it did exceed.
It all came back up and wasn't pleasant
suddenly the treat was no longer a present.
I felt really yucky and not very fine
I want to warn you, please take your time!
The food will still be there, it's yours for the taking
and snarfing will only be vomit-making.
If you want to avoid pukies, follow this tale,
and eat all your food with the speed of a snail!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hair is yummy, it tastes so good,
I like to eat it, more than food.
I love to munch every curl,
and chew right down on every twirl.
Won't you let me eat your hair?
I wish it was served everywhere.
Yummy strands, lots to chew,
I promise not to eat the whole head of you.
Just a few bites, I'll sneak while you sleep
my gnawing won't make a single peep.
Hair is so good, it makes my tummy roar
I'll keep eating it more and more.
Let me eat your hair, I beg!
I'll fry it beside bacon and serve with an egg.
I don't know why I crave it so
but seeing it on your head makes my stomach grow.
It's just sitting there for me to eat
so let me have my follicular treat!
Good with salmon and better with fish
eating your hair is my every wish.
So, let me eat your hair I say,
serve it to me every day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Every morning, I climb on the bed,
and you wake and scratch my head.
I sit and stare and glare at you
until you wake up and do what you always do.
You get ready for the day but before you go eat
you always remember to give me my treat.
Anytime you have to go out to do a chore
I always am there to meet you at the door.
At the end of the night, you watch tv,
and grab my feather wand to play with me.
Every few days, you grab my favorite can
and feed me Kitty Kaviar, which nothing is better than.
It's tuna on my birthday, Hanukah, and Valetine's Day,
I wouldn't have our routines any other way.
Of course, there are some I'd like to skip,
like when you have to leave on a trip.
Or my Sunday bath wipe or twice weekly hairball gel,
that stuff is sticky but has a nice smell.
I'll skip the brushing on Saturday and Tues,
those routines give me the blues.
You say routines (all kind) are good for me
but I'd like to pick and choose the ones we see.
Still, the good outweighs the bad,
we keep doing them, and I am glad.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When the cat-mom's away, the cats will play!

You are invited to an open-house cat party! It's BYOT- bring your own tuna. Bring a couple of cans for the hostess with the mostess, eh? I'll have plenty of Kitty Kaviar on hand, and we'll be playing "sock the crap out of a mouse-shaped pinata" which will be stuffed with furry mice, sparkly balls, and twisty ties. 

On tap will be Fancy Feast can juice (drained straight from the can!) and for those driving, special formula cat milk. (Only the best for my guests!)

Our local DJ will be spinning tunes: "Cat Scratch Fever", "Stray Cat Strut", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof". Feel free to bring your own contributions (though anyone who puts on "Who Let The Dogs Out" will be stuffed into the litterbox).

Single? Do not worry! Lots of Toms and Tinas will be visiting. Maybe we'll do a little match making. No pressure! My place is filled with boxes right now, so there's lots of climbing potential (and privacy). See you there!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Out of the sky,
come the white puffs.
Here they go, there they go,
will there be enough?

I see the people rushing forth,
running to their cars.
Is the sky falling?
Are the white things stars?

Sometimes the white things stick to the ground,
or they disappear.
Is the sky now falling?
I'm really not too clear.

I press against the window,
it is sort of cold.
Would the sky dare to fall?
Would it be that bold?

The puffs seem light and kind of soft,
I'd catch them on my tounge.
Let them melt right into my fur,
without getting stung.

All I can do is watch the white
fall down from the sky.
I figure I can keep a look out
I'll track it with my eye.

If the sky really were to fall
all around with these flakes of white,
I'd curl up in my perch and let them float down,
and wish you a very good night.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What could be more perfect, then to be a cat?
We've got beautiful fur and we're so cute and so much more than that.
My ears point up with little tufts sticking out of them,
it's funny because that's made fun of on the older men.
Yet on me it's especially cute since it's on a cat,
when they see extra tufts in my paws they really do love that.
Big round eyes of a beautiful color like to stare at you,
we're so adorable even when we're naughty no matter what we do.
Velvet noses so tiny and soft like the finest leather,
cats are the perfect accessory no matter what the weather.
Big furry feets, we've got the best, they could not be more cute,
what could be more perfect than a cat- there's really no dispute.
Tails in the air, all puffed out swishing to and fro-
we attract the most attention, no matter where we go.
Little mouths full of fangs, we look crazy when we yawn,
try to resist our cuteness curled up in a ball as we sleep until dawn.
No, there's nothing more perfect than a cat, our cuteness is divine,
why, we surely deserve more lives to live, than a paltry nine!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh how divine to feel the sun
its rays reach out to my fur.
I feel like it's the jackpot I've won
happy bubbles of emotions will stir.

On my perch, I can just reach out
and feel that warmth all day.
Stay away clouds, you make me pout
don't think of turning this gray.

My nose is rosy and unchilled
I stretch my belly wide.
Through my window, I feel thrilled
as the sun just streams inside.

Propped up high, I contemplate
just how perfect this day feels.
The sun warms me into a fuzzy state,
that no rain could steal.

I'll puff out my tail and enjoy the hours
that the bright orb will bring.
I relish all of its sunny powers,
and say, "Come on, spring!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The big move is coming soon,
I will have my own big room.
But I do worry a bit
about this house and what's in it.
I've heard there are stairs, what is THAT?
Will stairs be fun for this here cat?
I've heard there's an enclosed back porch place
where I can lay and sun my face.
I've heard there's a big window just for me
where I can sit and look and see.
But I'm a little afraid to go
to this place I do not know.
All of my things are coming too
but it still makes me a bit blue.
New smells, new corners, new rugs, new walls
how on earth will I handle it all?
Just one cat, such a big place to explore,
how do I know just what's in store?
I can't help but worry, it's all new to me
I won't recognize anything I see.
I try to remember that I've moved before
though I am still scared to go out that door.
Please think of me in ten day's time
going to this new fangled place of mine.
I'm a cat, so I won't let it show,
but I'm kind of scared, to this new place I go.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello Cat-Grandma, I wish you from afar
to have the best of birthdays where ever you are.
Up in the northern states, suffering from the snow,
you can have my birthday wishes where ever you go.
I don't see you much but I know you love me still
maybe one day I'll sit on your lap, if I can I will.
I'm sorry I can't give you a birthday nose kiss
and all the festivities I will miss.
But I can't eat cake anyway
so here in North Carolina I must stay.
Plus balloons are a little weird to me
and singing really loud is kind of scary.
So instead, I'll fluff out my fur
a bit extra cutely, in your honor.
I'll stare out the window and pretend that I see
you celebrating your birthday right here with me.
The next time I see you it will be great,
I'll wish you happy birthday, even a bit late!]]></content:encoded>

this is no time to rest your head.
The weekend's here, you have no duties,
except to play with your furry cuties.
Don't think I cannot see you hide,
under the blankets, deep inside.
Sure, it's just the crack of morning but
there's so much playing to do - a glut!
I'm sitting here and staring at you
because I know just what we can do.
We can toss some sparkle puffs in the air
and wave toy wands like we just don't care.
Racing around the house can't be beat
then you can feed me treat after treat.
See how cute I am- don't resist,
get up now, I do insist!
It's time to play, nothing else will do,
I am waiting to play with you!
I was quiet the entire night
I didn't run around or give you a fright.
So now it's time to get up and play
after all, it's Saturday!
I think there's a rule that we MUST go
and play, yes I really know.
So get up, get up, and play with me now
get up, get up, I'll show you how!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ * Note: I know earlier I complained about the boxes taking over my apartment for when I move. That is because those boxes are full, heavy, and CLOSED. I can't DO anything with them, and therefore, they must BEGONE.

Oh, the thrill of boxes,
their emptiness brings glee.
When I see them I get all fluffed out,
they really excite me.

Every new box to inspect
brings another joy.
Who needs fake mice or plastic stuff
when you've got a box for a toy?

I can jump right in and pretend
that I'm on the run.
I'm stowing away on a big freight train
rolling towards the sun.

I like to poke out just my ears
and look out with my eyes.
My cat-mom often can't find me,
I'm such a funny surprise!

Inside the box is a land of cool
and anything I can create.
Only cats would understand
why boxes fascinate.

Each new box must be inspected
whether large or small.
My advice to you when it comes to boxes-
jump right in them all!]]></content:encoded>

Our natural curiousity would finally discover that Feline Planet right next to the Big Dipper.

Obviously, we're little, so more of us can fit in one rocket. Open House Cat Party on Planet 1,242,381,281!

My neck is itchy,
my fur feels tight
I can feel 'em jumping
all through the night, whoa whoaaaaaaaa,

I don't know how
they follow me
I don't go outside
I'm clean as can be.
There ain't no fleas

Forget the bath, you know that's not
the water's too wet, and sometimes too hot,

My claws can't reach those little fleas
I dig and dig yet they bother me,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ (This is dedicated to a friend named Boogie but also to all the other hairballers out there- UNITE!)

If you've got a hairball, please do not cry or fret,
it's just a simple little thing that most of us cats will get.
Yes it's pretty scary, they seem to choke and swell,
but I promise you, it's nothing much, and only time will tell.
Most of them come from grooming, something we often do,
it really depends on how much fluff and fur that is sported on you!!
I always try to deposit mine in an easy place
somewhere that is quickly spotted in an open space.
I like to think this helps along the cleaning process time
and makes me look like I'm participating, really well refined.
I'm on some medication, which I could recommend
some special treats and malty gel that's put on my nose end.
Regardless of when and where and how many times a day
hairballs are just a part of living this fantastic feline way.
So, my friends and partners, hairball when you must,
in treats and tuna and in hairballs we cats do entrust!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What is it with this word "busy"? I can see why it's a four-letter-word (though my angelic kitty ears don't know any other four letter words. But I think D-O-G should be one.) This weekend, I really got to learn about this word. I wish cat-moms and cat-dads would take a clue from us cats and slow down. I mean, normally my cat-mom and I get to spend a lot of weekend time together. She lays on the couch and I lay on the floor staring at her. True, true, sometimes it gets annoying because she is always chasing me around and trying to hug me or sniff my head. But I secretly like it. Yet this weekend, all I heard was "busy busy busy". Like, "Oh, I am so busy." I guess maybe I don't exactly grasp this word. I certainly understand "hungry". I definitely know "sleepy". And believe me, as much as I do NOT like to admit it, I know what "soggy" and "wet" mean (curse that damn bathtub). But "busy"? Why do cat-moms and cat-dads feel they need to rush around all over the place? My cat-mom was gone most of the weekend due to some school projects. When she finally came home last night, I just stared at her and shook my head. When will the people learn- everything you need is right here. I mean, particularly me of course, but also toys, food, and blankets. Notice the word busy was NOT included. I know I have said it before, but a little cat advice here would be good- slow down! Take it easy! Lay in a sunny spot on the rug, close your eyes, and feel the warmth on your fur. As long as you're not soggy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so glad I'm a cat,
let me share and tell you why.
I'm always considered fluffy, not fat,
and I'm showered with all the treats money can buy.

I'm so glad I'm a cat,
I'm living the good life.
I don't have to work and I don't have to worry,
I get to avoid all the stress and strife.

I'm so glad I'm a cat,
it doesn't get any better.
I can lay in the sun and warm my belly,
and in the winter, I don't even need a sweater.

I'm so glad I'm a cat,
I get away with so much for being cute.
If I knock over a vase I can just fluff out my fur
and there I go, winning every dispute.

I'm so glad I'm a cat,
my cat-mom gives me such love.
When she comes home from a hard, hard day,
I help her to rise above.

I hope you're glad too,
and that you agree with me that
there's no better thing
than being a cat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi, while Solo is nose-down in a can of Kitty Kaviar, I've snuck onto "her" computer to write a little note. I just couldn't help but boast a little of how proud of her I am. I know, it's probably not much. But yesterday, as I was brushing my teeth after a long day of work and school, Solo came into the bathroom and parked herself in front of the shower curtain. Normally, she runs far and fast away from anything water-related. But I noticed she was doing her usual "buggy stare". You know what I mean. All of a sudden, you'll notice your little furry friend is fixated on something that's usually stagnant- like a wall or a ceiling. She's done it a little lately, thinking that the  newly created holes in the walls from taking pictures down for the move are "invaders", as I like to call it. Anyway, she started squeaking a little, and as some people know Maine Coons rarely make ANY noise. My shower curtain is a "busy" one, with lots of prints of shells and beachy things. Anyway, she was rivited to the spot, staring and squeaking. All of a sudden, I noticed IT. A big, furry invader. On MY shower curtain! I got him, thanks to my smart smartie of a cat. She likes to "catch" bugs because she knows when she does, she gets a treat. (This time, she got two.) Anyway, I just wanted to brag a little and celebrate bug catching cats everywhere. Now back to your regularly scheduled diary...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boxes, boxes, everywhere,
I do not like them, I do not care.
They're taking up my private space,
look at me and my unhappy face.
Messy, messy, it's all around
there is always a crashing sound.
This moving stuff has got to go,
I do not like it, don't you know.
One box, two box, three four more,
let's kick these boxes out the door.
Do I want to move? Maybe.
But can someone please move me?
I do not wish to be nearby
these boxes so much bigger than I.
They're on the floor, and what's more
they're piled up higher than the door!
They're in my way when I run, run, run
they're in my way for fun, fun, fun.
Boxes, boxes, everywhere,
I do not like them, I do not care.
Boxes, boxes, go away,
do not come back another day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ O' little ball o' string
how you tempt me with everything.
Your yarny ways call my eyes
your ratty end I do quite spy.
Such wooly delight I never knew
I take such pleasure in unraveling you.
Little ball o' string you may roll far
but I will pounce you wherever you are.
Toss you around with my fangs
up against a wall with lots of bang bangs.
When your string comes loose I'll be
right behind you, look at me.
I'm creeping up, I'll have you yet
you can place your stringy stringy bet.
How you roll with such carefree,
as I watch you with my hidden glee.
You may be tightly packed right now,
but soon I'll land on you, KA-POW!
I'll unstring you quick and wave you around
and drag you to and fro on the ground.
O' little ball o' string, your time
has come and now you will be mine!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A special MEOW to all who read my page
young and old and every age.
I thank you for keeping me right
and reading my diaries both every day and night.
I love to hear when people are reading my stuff
hearing from you is always enough!
All my catz from the hood and palz from the block
you keep me writing right 'round the clock.
I'm thinking of y'all when I type this here keyboard
and pour out the words in my head that are stored.
To the catz and their friends, their moms and their dads,
you all are the best palz that I've ever had.
I hope you'll keep reading as I continue to write
it helps me keep smiling and sleep through the night!
It makes my fur fluff out and ruffle with glee
to think that you take time out to read something from me.
So, all you Homiez, have a nice night,
and see you the next time I write!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, my cat-mom lint-rolled my cat perch tower for like half an hour. I sat in the living room (gave her some space) just thinking that it would take me MAYBE two minutes to cover that thing again. I wonder why she does it? I saw her tearing off strip after strip of that sticky paper (now covered with my cast off fur hairs). It's not like it's going to get that perch CLEAN- the very first time I stepped onto that thing it was like, hello, fur city. I think she wanted to clean it because I had a little battle with a hairball (and lost) on Friday night. I think I was able to project it mostly onto her bed comforter, but apparently enough got onto my perch (which is next to the bed) and she wanted to clean it. Which is nice of course. I guess I just wonder what is the point, I mean, soon the whole perch will be as furry as me. And she likes me for my furriness, so why not try to make EVERYTHING furry? I think the world would be a kinder place.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Inside the house is where it's warm
and all my toys in reach.
No cars are honking, no dogs are barking,
no birds' annoying speech.
I don't have to worry about dirt or bugs
or cracks in the broken sidewalk.
It's just me and my foodbowl and my cat-mom
whenever I want to talk.
I've got furry rugs and soft blankets
when I wish to hide.
There's no scary things like catnappers
when I am inside.
Temperature control is really nice
as is music and tv.
No rain or snow or sleet or hail
can ever fall on me.
I can sit atop my kitty perch
and look down on the world below.
Through the window I'm quite happy,
it's outside I don't want to go.
No scary cars driven way too fast,
no kids on bikes going crazy.
No running here or there or where,
inside I can be lazy.]]></content:encoded>

the weekend is here.
Time for my cat-mom 
to always be near.
We can lay on the couch,
and sleep really late.
Lots of good eating,
the weekend's so great.
Put away the work
and don't open those books,
the weekend is time
for only fun looks.
You've waited all week,
today is the day!
Suddenly bright skies
from what was once gray.
Happiness comes
around five-o-clock,
so get ready for excitement,
put on a party frock!
To everyone working 
so hard every day,
we cats really thank you
and we can't wait to play!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK, who really are you? You strange, strange white-faced cat with no mouth and yellow nose. You have a big red bow and cute dresses. My cat-mom LOVES you. She has you on folders. She has you on stickers. She has you all over her computer. And she just got us a phone with you on it for her new house. Word is that she is hunting down a toaster with you on it, too. How come you are so popular? What is it? Why aren't people obsessed with Hello Solo? It has a nice ring to it, I think? And I even have a mouth, that's more than you've got. I can yawn, which my cat-mom likes, because it makes me look "crazy", as she so nicely puts it.  How do you eat treats? How do you eat ANYTHING? What is up with you, Hello Kitty? True, without a mouth, you can't bite. And that's not my cat-mom's favorite behavior of mine, true. But what if your boyfriend, Hello Daniel (and why does he get a name and you are generic?), said something mean to you? You couldn't exactly talk back, now could you? Well, I don't really "get" your allure, but my cat-mom sure does. Can you give me the number of your agent? I'm sure he or she would consider a Hello Solo line of pillows, dolls, toys, kitchen supplies...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Why do they do it? Don't you think people have learned from us by now? Every day, I watch my cat-mom get out of the big soft blankety bed. Her (mostly) lack of fur causes her to run from the warmth into the cold. Then she CHOOSES to go get wet in this thing that sprays {{{{water}}}} on her. Sometimes she puts this colorey stuff on her face (but not very recently!) and occasionally even these sort of spikey things on her feet. WHY WHY WHY! What, other than a life of comfort, could these people actually want? Every day (except today, when it is RAINING), I can stick my head through the blinds or when they're open, find a sunny spot on the rug and curl up and sleep. And sleep. And sleep. And sleep some more. I wake up when my cat-mom comes home and gives me a treat. Then, guess what? I sometimes sleep some more! I just wonder when these people are going to learn from us. Slow down, sleep more.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When cats dream, it’s of a place
where all cats have a happy face.
Maine Coons laugh and Persians run,
Manxes feel the warmth of the sun.
Siamese giggle and play with string,
Norwegian forest cats get into everything.
There’s tuna in a pond for Rexes to chase,
and Bengals and Birmans can forever race.
There’s always a head scratch waiting to be had,
and belly rubs with treats are the biggest fad.
Warm beds wait for Ragdolls and Blues,
with high viewing window perches for Scottish Folds too.
Friends all around, for Pixies and Somalis each,
a nice little nose-bump is always in reach.
Short hair, long hair, in between,
all come together when cats dream.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Waving around in the air,
twisting your feathers like you do not care.
I will pounce and get you yet
there is no escape for you to get.
White little feathers taste so yummy
though they prickle in my tummy.
I like to grab them with my mouth
and shake them north to east to south.
Feather wand, let's play some more
I'll chase you round and round galore.
Your string connects those feathers firm
but when oh when oh when will you learn?
I can jump to catch you so high
no matter where in the air you will fly.
Back and forth and up and down
I am the Mayor of Feather Wand Town.
You may escape me today, that's true
but come tomorrow, I'm gunning for you.
I can't wait to feel your feathery love,
my mouth fits over you like a glove.
Chasing you around could be a tiring feat,
but catching those feathers is the ultimate treat.
So, feather wand, I'll see you when
you come down from the toy cabinet and we meet again.]]></content:encoded>

I'm feeling blue,
because it's Monday again,
what can I do?
My cat-Mom left, 
to go to work and school,
I just sit here
and fluff my fur and drool.
I wish it were Friday
and she'd come home,
we'd have the weekend,
and not be alone.
Laying around on the couch
is alway fun,
but it's even better
when you're not the only one.
Someone around to pet me
or give me a treat
and to make sure
that I have other good stuff to eat.
Someone to toss
my sparkle puffs in the air,
someone who's working now
but I know she does care.
So come on Monday,
hit the highway
and let it soon,
soon, be Friday!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OK, so here I am. Sitting in my usual spot. Left quadrant of the rug where I've buried some catnip flakes that the vaccuum cleaner keeps missing. Anyway, so in you come. Toting this huge plastic bag (plastic bag! yay! plastic bag!) that smells really good. You're in this happy mood too. I see you put all this stuff into the big white cold thing. Then you give me a treat (treat! yay! treat!). Then you go back to the big white cold thing and take out that smelling good stuff. Then you put it in the big metal hot thing. And I smell! Oh, the things I smell! It is so good! I see you hovering around the big metal thing poking and prodding and tasting and smiling. What about MEEEEE? Where's MINE???? Then you take some stuff out of the big metal hot thing and it SMELLS EVEN BETTER. Is that POSSIBLE? Is the big metal hot thing a smell-enhancer? I see you sit down at the table you always tell me not to walk on and you have a book. Wouldn't you rather share your plate with ME? I'm MUCH cuter and fluffier than a "book". What ever even IS a "book". Ooooh, I see you lifting that skinny metal prongy thing. It's got the good smelling stuff on it. Are you going to offer me ANY? Where Is My Food! (I mean, except for the usual food in my food bowl, treat cannisters, etc.) It smells REALLY good. It's not what you usually bring. This must be some sort of party. Is it a party for me? Then why I am I NOT INVITED TO EAT THE FOOD! I can't take it anymore! I'm having a food attack! I try to catch your eye to play on your "Look at the cute cat weakness" but it doesn't seem to work. Hmmm. Oh no! What's this? Where did it go? The plate is EMPTY! Well, fine. At least I can still sniff the air.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My cat-mom is home with me today. Usually she rushes out in the morning and I poke my head out watching her drive away in the big gray metal thing until she drives back in the big gray metal thing. Yet today, here she is. Following me around. I PRETEND to mind, but of course I really am happy. Sure it cramps my style a little bit, but that's OK. 

FYI, here are some things that happen when you are not around each day:

10- I invite the neighborhood tabbies over for a projectile hairball contest. So far, the runt over in apartment 308 has the furthest trajectory.

9- Just who do you think IS ordering all those boxes from FastTuna.com?

8- Let's hope (for your sake, certainly not for mine) that you haven't left any laces, strings, ties, or belts hanging off your clothes.

7- I burrow under the bed covers and try to shed as much as possible with moving as little as possible.

6- I can go visit my little piles of hidden toys with the security that no one is snooping.

5- I can go visit my little piles of hidden treats with the security that no one hungry is snooping.

4- I actually go sit in the bathtub. When it is DRY, thank you.

3- Those hairs on the kitchen counters? I have no idea how they got there. Have you checked your OWN head?

2- I really don't know why your computer automatically boots up to LonelyCatsLookingForAction.com, or why you've been rated Customer of the Year.

1- I miss you so so much and wonder if I'm so cute, how could you leave me?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What's this feeling, oh my my,
is that catnip I do spy?
Let me near those herbs from heaven,
it's not rated a ten, it's over eleven!
I'll roll around in the greenie pleasure,
sniffing and tasting it measure for measure,
it may make me chase my tail
and do other funnies without fail.
The taste and scent are totally fine
for catnip, I always have the time.
Some say I look a little spooky
when on the catnip, I'm quite kooky,
it sets me free to fly and float
as if I'm sailing on the catnip boat!
My cat-mom makes sure I do not get hooked
too much catnip and I'd be cooked!
So for now I'll wait and wait
until she feeds me a little more bait
and I get to taste the greatness once more
oh, hooray, for catnip galore!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sparkly Pom Pom 1, 2, 3
how you always evade me.
Under the fridge you roll and roll
and to other places I cannot stroll.
Sparkly Pom Pom, you cause alarm
when I cannot reach you with my arm.
You'd think by now I may have seen
all of the places that you have been
and learned not to knock you all that far
where I cannot reach you, sparkly star.
Yet I just can't help myself, it's fun
I'll play with you from night to sun.
You fit so well in my mouth
east to west to north to south.
Sparkly Pom Pom here we go,
I'll chase right after your bumpy flow.
And where you're stuck I'll sit and stare
until my cat-mom becomes aware
she'll wonder why I've become a drooler
and will go and fetch the ruler.
She'll lay on the floor and jab at you, puff,
until her efforts become enough
to loosen you from where you've gripped
and into my paws, again, you'll slip.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, my tuna, you are so fine,
I wish that every can were mine.
Your juice is yummy and so sweet,
you truly are a treat to eat.
I wish to eat you every day
but my cat-mom sure would say
that tuna comes but not so often
not even my cute face could soften
her stand on this, she is quite firm
how to get more tuna, I must learn.
It's fishiness so pleases me
little fishies are all I can see.
Yummy yummy yummy, tuna you are so grand
to you, we all do take a stand
and give you the finest of applause
before we catch you in our paws.
Tuna, tuna, you are the best
nothing compares from the ocean of the rest.
So, until the next time we meet,
I'll be looking forward to you, to eat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm not supposed to know it, but I do. Actually, I got a few presents. Presents rule. My cat-mom has been watching and waiting for this day today, the day after Valentine's Day, so she could go to PetsMart and buy me this pink cat bed on sale. Can't you just see me in it? Well, I'm not supposed to know I got it, because it's a present for our new house (we're moving next month). But you know how it goes, I've got connections. Anyway, they let me know she rushed on in there this morning to get the bed! So I'm excited. I'm not excited about moving, I'm a little scared. But I'll try to think about my other presents- a new feather wand toy which I get today and will chew and rip up as soon as I can!!!!!!!! I also got this light up wand thing that should be fun. Anyway, once we move, I'll model the new cat bed for you.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, today my cat-mom signed us up for Catster. She likes to do cat stuff especially when she is sad. And I think today some guy at work criticized her and shouldn't have, he's like that to everyone, and she just gets sad about it. Normally she would come home and squeeze me and I would pretend not to like it but be glad she was coming home for me to make her feel better. But she has to stay at work and then go to school so here I am sneaking onto the computer. I will soon check my regular sites (Fluffy Cats Home Alone) and (Paw Pals Wanted). But first I wanted to say thanks for looking at my page. I'll try to keep it really interesting. I hope you leave me lots of treats. I'll convince my cat-mom to post more pictures of me, she certainly has enough. Oh well, I don't want to give it all away so soon, I'll be back tomorrow!]]></content:encoded>
