		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had rain that started Saturday night and went through Monday. Lots and lots of flooding in our area.  We are safe but there has been a lot of damage. Monday the sun came out and this morning it was out but by lunch it was raining again, HARD and we don't need that.  It is possible it is going to continue until Saturday.  We need lots of days of dryness to get back to normal.  We want to get on the porch and watch springtime but when it's this wet, we can't even go on the porch.

GO AWAY RAIN!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by my beautiful girl Lillian's handsome brother Dashiell to play this game.  

1. Describe one thing your pet pawrent does that you think is REALLY CUTE.
How mom picks me up and carries me around talks to me.  Some days, it's really cute because it does get up above the counter levels and I can see if there is anything I need to get up there and get. MOL!


2. Describe one thing your pet pawrent does that you think is REALLY LAME.
Mom thinks she is being slick by dumping the dry food left in our bowls and mixing it in and pouring it back in to the bowls like it is new food.  She knows I love it when a new bag of food is open and she thinks this is tricky, but I know what she is doing and it is kind of lame!

I will send pmails to my friends I'm tagging and if anyfur reads this and wants to play along too, feel free to copy my diary and play with us!]]></content:encoded>

5 Things I like about Spring

1.  Porch doors are open
2.  Naps on the porch
3.  More sunpuddles for naps
4.  Fresh air coming in helps me sleep good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I know all our friends are getting ready for the Super Bowl, but I'm excited to turn on Animal planet to see the Puppy Bowl (the Ninth year of it) with the Kitty Halftime show.  It features the Hedgehog cheerleaders and Hamsters driving the Blimp.

We LOVE to watch the puppies playing together, then the kitties too, of course.  It features 63 puppies from shelters all over the US, and 21 kittens. It helps to remind us there are lots of furs still looking for homes and some there because someone didn't spay and neuter...as cute as they all are, it's sad to see all these babies in shelters.

So we will turn on Puppy Bowl IX and enjoy all the cuteness that life holds...and hope that this helps each and every one of them find their forever home!

Hugs

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lillian asked me to go on a trip of haunted houses with her and last night we were in Paris.  We had a lovely dinner together in a small out of the way romantic Bistro, found a violin player to serenade, had a romantic walk paw in paw through Paris in the evening light.  She is SO beautiful and I'm so in love!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I had a Pmail from Lillian asking me to PLEASE say yes to this trip.  She has a friend that has planned a Haunted Castle Tour of Europe.  

We leave today and it looks like we will see 11 Castles and come back on the 15th, so I will get to spend Valentine's day with my lovely Lillian.

OF COURSE I said yes.  She may be scared in some of those castles and I need to be there to protect her!

Hopefully I'll be able to update my diary as we travel!

I thank you mom and dad for getting us and giving us all the love you have given for the last 14 years.  We truly did hit the "kitty lottery" the day you found us!  

Hugs and lots of love

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As the year draws to a close, I think about how it went.  It started out with Patches feeling better and us thinking we had weathered the bad and moved her to a healthy kitty again.  As it turned out, that was wrong.  She was a very sick kitty and in April, I lost the friend that I had been with since I was 3 weeks old.  It was very, very  hard for me and my family.  I thought for a while she would come back.  Then one night, I was walking through the house at night and mom said she could have sworn I said "where are you?"  She wanted another kitty and knew then I needed another companion too.  But dad was slower to get over Patches (she was REALLY his kitty) Finally he said OK.

Enter Spice...at the end of May, about 6 weeks after losing Patches, mom and dad got in contact with the local rescue group. They had been considering a kitty that had lost it's back feet, but said it had no limitations. When mom talked to the foster mom, she said steps were sometimes an issue, especially if they weren't carpeted.  Our food and litterboxes are in the basement, and we go down uncarpeted steps.  All parties talked and decided it wasn't in that kitty's best interest to be taken from the good foster home she had...so mom asked about Spice.  She came to live with us.  It was really only a few weeks of us getting adjusted to each other and as the year has progressed, we have become very close.  We like to curl up together to sleep and we run and play A LOT.  Mom says there is a new spring in my step and is happy to see my playing so much.

Then the fall brought two things...the Cat and Dog Plaza Olympics and LILLIAN.....MY LOVE. She was so smart and just missed winning and game and I was mesmerized!  We sent pmails and now we are a couple..and I'm crazy over her!!!!!!!  This is her profile:  http://www.catster.com/cats/291986   I mean...isn't she just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!  Yea, she has me wrapped around her paws!

The second thing that the fall brought was that I got Pancreatitis.  Fortunately mom noticed quickly my change in eating habits and got me in to the doctor.I spent two days there getting fluids and a couple days at home recovering but was lucky enough to make a full recovery from that.  I know for some kitties it is a recurring problem but mom hopes that mine was just a one time occurrence.  Since then, I have been well and active again, just like before.

So looking back, though we suffered a huge loss with Patches, we will never forget her.  She is always with us and I know she helped pick Spice and is teaching her.  It has been a good year overall since that point and as my love Lillian says...Hopes for a very HEALTHY and Happy 2013!!!


Hugs and love to all

We had a great party in the BC and had one at home this year too (but we didn't knock any lamps over and cleaned up the house before mom and dad got back, so they didn't know...SHHHH....

My typist gets a little lax sometimes.  I think we sent a thank you note to everyone, but if we didn't I apologize.  I appreciate all the thoughts for my birthday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just to update anyone who doesn't know.  During the week of 8/27, mom noticed me acting kind of listless and wasn't eating hardly at all.  Finally on Thursday 8/30, dad took me to the vet, where they diagnosed me with Pancreatits and kept me for two days.  

I was released on Saturday 9/1 with just a few meds and some I/D canned food.  I had a good couple days and then was very slow eating again.  Mom got worried and called the vet on Tuesday but he said I was progressing OK.

Within a day or two, I started getting more active again and eating my regular food and acting my normal self.

I am happy to report, I am now my normal rug-chewing, wrestling, running kind of kitty again.  Eating good and having fun.  I have lost a little weight and would like to get it back but I'm lean and mean right now!  And mom is relieved.

I had lots of friends purring and my love, Lillian, sending love across the continent to get me well and it worked.  Thank you friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This has been an up and down year but it is getting better.

Started out with Patches, my sisfur sick.  I didn't know how bad it was but in April, she went to the bridge.  I missed her alot because she was with me since I was 5 weeks old.

Then mom and dad brought Spice home.  I wasn't too sure of this decision.  She is young and liked to smack me and try to boss me.  But we have worked this out and I like to play with her now. Mom says there is a new spring in my step since she came and I have some one to play with all the time.


NOW the BEST NEWS.  I have a girlfriend kitty. I've never had one before.  We started batting a paper ball back and from from the east coast where I live to the West coast where she lives.  I asked her today to be my girl kitty and she said YES.  Her name is Lillian (ID 291986) AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!  I'M so happy today!

Life is good for this old guy who doesn't feel so old anymore!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had our Olympics for the last week too and our closing ceremonies yesterday.  We had A tug of war game, 50 and 100 foot climbs for both kitties and pups, Duck Hunting contest, clay pigeon shoot, Eating contest and probably other games I have forgotten (please don't take offense if I forgot...I'm getting up there in years.  We had medals awarded and rosies and zealies to give out.  

We had so much fun and lots of participation from lots of pups and kitties.  The admins worked well together to get it organized and make sure all had a good time.  It is and honor and fun to be a part of the admins in a group that does such a great job and has so much fun.

Can't wait for the next Olympics.  Gonna have to start training right now...I was a little out of shape for this one, but gave it a good shot!  Winter Olympics next...in two years.  I'll have the gold then!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, I've asked mom why she writes for Spice and she did for Patches but not for me.  So here is my chance.

Ahem....


I have a new sister named Spice
She's pretty and gray and quite nice
She runs through the house
Squeaking like a mouse
I'm guessing she was worth the price


HMMM Never knew I was a poet.  Dad writes limericks, I must have gotten it from him.

At least now I got to put something in MY diary!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was two months ago today that my sisfur Patches went to the bridge.  We had been together since I was only three weeks old and played together and she was my pal.  She had been sick just before hand and had been gone for a while.  On the day she left, I knew she wasn't coming back and said goodbye to her.  Mom took some pictures of that but hasn't been able to post them at all.

I finally got used to being an only cat, then along comes Spice two weeks ago.  My world was a little upside down again.  This cat has A LOT of energy and smacks and hisses.  Mom says Patches sent her though and so she must be OK, I just have to find out what is good about her.

Two months...hard to believe.  I still miss you Patches, and Mom and dad do too.  I know you are watching over us and taking care of us from the bridge and I'm glad you are no longer sick and in pain.  

Love,
Phantom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, I've been on Catster just a little over a year and active on it for about 8 months and can't believe I was chosen for this honor.  I LOVE to play in KCK and have lots of friends but there are so many KEWL kitties and to choose me...that truly means a lot.

Thanks to all my friends at KCK who think enough of me to vote me into this.  A whole month worth of honor is pawsome!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom took pictures several weeks ago and FINALLY downloaded them and put them on our pages.  I was wondering if she was EVERY going to do it.  I posed....Gave her my best profile shot, turned to make sure she got both sides, looked right at her and she got another good one.

I mean, I looked good in those pics and I know she liked them.  Couldn't figure out why she didn't download them.   Yesterday she had the camera out again.  Here we go!

She followed Patches around, sat by her, laid on the floor.  Patches didn't want her picture taken.  So......I'll sacrifice.  I came in and sat down with Patches to show her how to give mom a good picture.  And mom DIDN'T take one of me???????  Really mom, ReallY? Both of us are sitting here, and Patches keeps turning away.  I'll let you get me if you want.

She followed Patches until Patches went in the bathroom and put her nose against the wall.  I waited and when she came out, I got up where she could see me and sat looking my best.  And she put the camera away.........

OH Poor ME.....no new pics of me from that photo shoot.  One day I'll ask mom why, but now I'm just too hurt to even want to know.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is our Gotcha day and we are SO glad mom and dad found us.  We were running with a dog when we were found. Mom called and asked about a cat and the lady wouldn't say anything until mom said she wanted at least 2 cats.  They didn't want to separate us and I'm glad they didn't.  We have been best friends and play together so much.  As we get older and Patches hasn't felt as well, we don't play as much, but still love being together (or at least I do).  

I was barely 5 weeks old and Patches was 10 weeks old.  They brought us home and gave us baths for the ringworm we brought with us (and shared with both mom and dad).  Then we met our dog brother and loved our new home.  Mom and dad play with us and feed us good and our lives are so good cause we are here.  We love to celebrate our gotcha day every year and I'm not sure why everyone else celebrates 12/31 with us, but we are glad they do!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom found out late I was Kitty of the Week, but we did find out before the week was out!  SO KEWLLLLLLLLL  We have been on for about 2 1/2 months and have enjoyed all the time on here.  We love to be in Pie's BC on Olde Furts and in KCK, I get to play the Wheel of Fortune, and I'm not bad!  And I play the other games in KCK.  I'm in We Love Contests too, but Patches plays most of those games.

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for the honor of being KCK Kitty of the Week on Christmas.  What a great gift!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ All my friends have diaries and I have been PLEADING with mom to write in mine and I think I finally convinced her.  We  have been on Catster since March when mom got on to find information about Patches when she was sick the first time.  But in October we got into Old Furts and recently into KCK and are having all kinds of fun.

Mom knows how much fun we are having because one day she was holding me and loving on me (looks over at mom).  She was really snuggling and I was trying to sleep.  Now I KNOW I'm cute, but come on..a guy needs his rest.  She wanted me to purr and I wasn't in the mood.  So since we had just had our Thanksgiving feast in the BC, she started talking to me about it.  She reminded me about all the food, Turkey, broccoli casserole, taters and gravy, stuffing, and all the pies we baked together at the BC, and all the stuff we took to the shelter kitties.   By this time I was starting to purr a little.  She talked about Pie, Hobo and Moose, Wilson, PatPat, Macy, Nelly, Eddy, Morris, Tuffy, Flowie, Whisper, Peekers, Ka-zar, and all decorations we made and how much fun we had doing it.  By the time she was done, I was into a serious man-purr because I remember how much fun it was.  OK, so she gets her way when she talks about all the fun we have here.  But it makes me feel good to be able to write about it now too.  That way others who join will know how much fun we have on Catster too!

Well that's all for my first entry.]]></content:encoded>
