		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It went from winter to summer
 Oh my, what a bummer!
 Now we're all hot in our hair
 We're all hot in our hair!
 So Mommy if you dare
 Please turn on the air
 'cause we're hot in our hair!
 
Just a little rap song composed by Merl, Mommy & I.  I even rapped along with Mommy on this one.  It was so funny!  Everytime she said, "hot in my hair" I meowed back.  This would have been a good video but unfortunately no one was there to hold the cam-corder.

Anyway, we have had a few hot days after quite a long cold spell.  It seems like we skipped spring.  We were all getting hot frizzy hair, especially me and Mommy.

Got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy asked me the other night if I wanted to play ball. I followed her into the kitchen and dropped my little fuzzy ball with a bell in it at her feet and looked up at her.  She then threw my ball, I ran after it, picked it up in my mouth and brought it back to her.  This was repeated three more times.  

See, I'm a smart girl and I know how to play ball.  I also kick the ball or mouse around and throw it up in the air and swat it myself. 


All my brothers look at me like I'm nuts.  I know, I'm not.  I think they're jealous!

Anyway, we've had strange weather these weekend.  It's been cloudy and not too warm yesterday and it drizzled a little.  Today, was warmer and the sun came out for a bit in the late afternoon.  No rain though.  I surely hope the sun comes out like it did on Friday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowza!  Sampy and good old me are Diary Picks today.  Yep, paw in paw!  How cool is that!  We, of course, got concats from Mommy and the rest of the gang.

Thank you Diary Gal for honoring us today for our Mother's Day entries.

I also thank my pawsome friends for their gifts & concats:

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  GLEEK - cool comment;
3.  MILO BUES EYES & Family - cool comment & pretty pink rosette;
4.  MORTICIA & BLACK CATS CROSSING OUR PATHS - yummy pink frosted
    cupcake;
5.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail.

Also, we got another sunny day today.  Unfortunately. it feels more like early April or late March.  Whenever we get a nice warm, windows open day, we get a nasty T-storm and it turns cold for three days.  Bummer!  Wednesday will be warn again.

Anyway, I got to go now.  Have a pawsome day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish our Mommy a happy Mother's Day and also everycats' Mommies too!

We got a bunch of #1 Mom freebee gifts from HQ that our friends can send us.  I thank the family of Louis LeBeau and Milo Blue Eyes for mine.

As to this Saturday, Mommy tried to do the community yard sale, to no avail.  As soon as she set up her stuff in our front yard, it started to rain.  She had to carry her umbrella and "tarp" up the merchandise as the rain started to come down heavier.  She did this for about an hour; there were no sales so she said "forget it" (putting it mildly).  She put everything into the trunk of her car so she could take it to a thrift store later on.  Soon after she did this, it stopped raining and the sun came out. "Typical" she said and posted on FB.

She then went around to other yard sales in our neighborhood and talked to one lady who made $300.00!!!  She, of course, had very large beach umbrellas hooked up to her tables so the merchandise wouldn't get soaked.

After that, Mommy told me and my bros that she went to Three Brothers for lunch and then to the Laurel Main Street Festival.  It was loaded with live music, crafts, food, clothes, etc.  She also stopped in to see her friends Cindy & Paul who own a shop on Main Street.

As to today, Mommy went to our Grandma's grave site and put some pretty roses there.  She gets sad at this time of year so I tried my best to cheer her up with my fancy Maine Coon sing-songs that I do a lot while I run from room to room.

Lastly, after that rain we had late Friday night and early Saturday morning, today is bright and sunny but much cooler.  Mommy has the windows cracked open a little so we can enjoy the breezes and watch the birds.

		<title>ON BATHTUBS AND MOTHS AND CENTIPEDES AND BEES</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, Mommy's bathtub was clogged. Plungers, bailing out, and Drano didn't free up the human hairball and soap gunk.  She had the bathroom door shut for several days until her neighbor got back from vacation.  He had a snake (not the reptile kind) which he used to finally get the tub unclogged.

I'm so glad that I got my tub back!  Boy oh boy, did I ever miss going in there to chase my tail every day!  I hope this clogged tub ordeal doesn't ever happen again!

Secondly, there was a bug called a centipede crawling on the hallway ceiling.  It drove me nuts!  Mommy eventually caught it when it came down the wall.  Also, there was a moth flying around in the hallway, and I cauterwauled at it.  Mommy wished she took a video of this.  I was acting like a clown!

Lastly, before Mommy left to go shopping, she and I heard a loud buzzing in the living room.  It turned out to be a bee which was in a blue jar full of pretty stones.  She took the jar outside and set it on the front porch so the bee could fly away.  She also told me these bugs "sting".

Well, that's about it. We certainly get a lot of bugs in our house during the springtime.  I also forgot to mention the ants, but they don't excite me as the don't buzz or fly.

Got to go now as it's my bedtime.

		<title>CONCATS LANDY!</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I concated Landy on his Diary Pick today even though he doesn't like my playing with him a lot.  Mommy told him it's something called "karma" as he used to pick on Cammie Rose who was the only girl in the house before me while he was living here since 2008.  That's a lot of picking on the  poor girl!.  If you look at it, it does look like karma.  Still, I pick on him because I like him as he was the first to actually play with me when I was a kitten.

Sure, I've gotten bigger and still I like him and want to play even though I come over as a bit aggressive.  From my point of view, he's always hissing at me and running, and that hurts my feelings.

As to another subject, I have a curly belly and ruff.  Mommy googled "Maine Coons with Curly Bellies" and there were some references to a "Maine Wave" or Maine Rex". These curly Maine Coons showed up in litters during the late 1980's in Britain.  Maybe I'm one of those type of Coon Cats!

Anyhow, I have more to say but not enough time.  I'll have to write later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy bought a new comb that removes mats from longhairs and it looks like a small rake.  You use it to "rake" up shedded hair to prevent mats from forming and it helps loosen ones that are already there.  I had a nasty mat that was nestled in my right armpit, and this comb did the job purrfectly.

Also, I love to be groomed with this rake as it doesn't hurt like other combs do.  

Lastly, there's a Chatty Maine Coon video on You Tube.  His name is "MicMac" and everytime Mommy plays this video, I jump into her lap and purr and rub against her IPhone.  His meowing sounds just like mine; breeps mixed with a honking type of meow that sounds like "maaaah".  My sibs pay it no mind.  The talking cats video gets to Landy as they do nothing but breep.

Anyway, I must be on my way.  I cant' believe how fast weekends go.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy is 16 years old today!  I think I'll give him 16 licks on the top of his head, but not all at once as I'm sure he won't let me. Landy's the only one allowed to do that.

Also, those mourning doves are driving me up the window today.  Yesterday, the dove teased Merl.  When the dove peeked in the hallway window (or maybe it's several of them that take turns), I flung myself at the window pane and jumped down the stairs.  I forgot about the glass being in the way just like Merl and thought I could catch that stupid bird.

Mommy told me these doves make nests every April, and I may see them do this in the redbud tree like they tried in the previous years.

Well, I got to run now and I'm getting tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish my brother Bail a very pawsome happy birthday.  I wish this on behalf of all of us since it's so late.  Mommy spent a lot of time trying to load up a lovely birthday pic and finally got it on his page.  I think the Catster fleas are hopping big time in the photo-loading area.  Bummer!!

Anyway, Bail enjoyed his big day by chillaxing most of the time in the sun patches in the living room and also in the windowsill perch.

Got to go now, it's bedtime.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is my first Easter!  It was really fun as Mommy cooked this stuff called ham and she was nice enough to let me and my sibs have a little taste.  It, of course, was yummy and I wanted more.  Mommy told me there's some left over for tomorrow's dinner.  I can't wait!

Also, yesterday was a lovely sunny day which got up to around 60 degrees.  Today is yucky and rainy!  I don't like the idea of a rainy Easter at all!

Also, Mommy did a photo shoot of us kitties laying about on her bed.  Rainy weather surely makes us sleepy.

Anyway, I hope everycat is having a safe and pawsome Easter and thank those who have left me some purrty Easter eggs!

Purrs & Breeps,

Joss

P.S.  I've been playing fetch and retrieve with my toy mouse.  Mommy threw the mouse around ten times last night and I brought it back to her each time.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all,Saturday was the nicest of all weatherwise.  It went up to the mid 50's and was sunny the whole time.  As to Sunday, it was mostly cloudy and only got up to the mid 40's.  I think we're going to have a very late springtime. Mommy told me that before I was born (last mid March) the redbud trees were blooming. This year we're about 2-3 weeks behind in things blooming and warming up beyond the lower 60's (two weekends ago).

Anyway, on Saturday, Mommy noted that I had a lumpy thingy under my neck which was stuck to my ruff.  It turned out to be a mat which she eventually removed with various combs and one brush.  Of course, I put up a fight by biting on the combs and brush and growling and bunny kicking Mommy on her hands.  I HATE TO BE COMBED AND BRUSHED!!!

On Sunday, it was a nicer day as I wasn't combed or brushed at all.  In fact, I wanted to sit on Mommy's lap while she looked at stuff on her IPhone.  

Also, I know how to play fetch and retrieve!!  I'm so proud of myself and so's Mommy!  She and Sampy told me that he used to do the same thing when he was younger and gave it up when he started getting his heart problems and arthritis.  Mommy kept on throwing a wadded up piece of paper and I kept on bringing it back to her just like a dog does.  Maine Coon kitties are known for being able to learn this trick.

Lastly, we plan on changing our pages to springtime even though it still feels like winter.  They're calling for snow tomorrow. That stinks!

Well, I must go now as it's dinner time.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy St. Pat's Day, everycat!  I hope your day was great!

Mine was pretty good despite it being awfully cold and cloudy today!  I hope it warms up soon.

Also, enjoy my new pics which start with No. 7.  I'm getting more floofy with each day and my colors are changing.  My black tail has some white hairs in it, and of course, a lot of reds and grays are mixed in with the black.  Mommy thinks I'm a black smoke tortie Maine Coon.  I have all the traits of a Maine Coon and talk like one and am BIG for an almost 9 month old kitten.  Just imagine how big I'll be when I'm a year old!!!

Anyway, that's about it.  I got to take a nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy is so silly!  She now is calling me "Jossi O'Floofy" for St. Patrick's Day!  She normally does call me "Jossi" a lot anyway.
 
Also, one of our dear friends named HOOCH (I've heard of him, but never met him) made his journey to the Bridge a couple days ago.  He always was good to my brothers and angel sis Cammie Rose.  I send my soft whispery purrs to his family at this sad time.  RIP, dear Hooch.

Lastly, the weather is getting warmer. I saw a lot yellow flowers in full bloom along side of the neighbor's fence when I looked out the window this morning (Mommy says they're called daffodils).  I'm all excited about spring time!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Five days have passed since I was one of the Diary Picks of the Day.  Well, today, I'm in the Diary Spotlight again and I didn't even write anything since March 5th!  Thank you Diary Gal for this pawsome honor again!  I'm soooo overjoyed!

I also thank my following pawsome friends for their kind concats and gifts:

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail;
3.  AUNTIE DANA - lovely pic;
4.  ANGEL BUDDY, BOBBIE & Family - cool leprechaun hat.

Also, everycat, it's really 10:43 a.m. in our area.  Yep, I understand from Mommy (who discovered this on her Iphone) that we sprang forward today.  It's now Daylight Savings Time and that means me and my sibs get to watch the birds and squirrels longer since it won't be getting dark as soon as before.

That'll be most pawsome for us!  And for Mommy too as she'll feel like doing more stuff after she gets off work besides feeding us and herself.

Also, we're having pawsome warm weather this weekend.  Yesterday got up to 61 degrees and, of course, it was sunny the whole day.  Today, will be more of the same.  Soon, we'll have windows open days.  I can't wait for this.

Lastly, I'm a "monkey see, monkey do" type of kitty.  By watching Landy, I know how to jump into the other window in Mommy's bedroom (the one without the perch.  I take Landy's route which is to jump from the lower bookcase, to the next one and then onto the windowsill.  I had to do this as one of those mourning doves was sitting and cooing in the tree outside that window .

Well, I got to run and let Mommy eat her very late breakfast . . .

10. TIGER & Family - lovely rose and cool comment;
11. LITTLEBOY - cool comment.

Also, last night was a strange one, to say the least!  Mommy has this phone called an Iphone and it's a phone, camera,computer, Ipod (I call it an Ipawd) and a video player all in one.  Anyway, she called up this video called "Chatty Maine Coon Cat".  It was about "MicMac" who talked Coon Cat non-stop.  I came into the room and was looking all around for him.  He kept saying "Kak-Kak-Kak with a lot of "breeps".  He sounded just like me.  At first I thought Sampy and Landy were making those noises, but when I looked at them, they were busy washing each other.  Also, I looked around for Merl and Bail and didn't see them.

Has anycat ever had their Mommies play this video for them?

Lastly, they're calling for a late snow storm starting some time tonight.  So far, they think farther west and north is going to get the worst of it.  We'll see . . . .

Got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a bad girl this morning.  I was playing with our kitty water container as usual and then all of a sudden it toppled over and half of it spilled onto the bathroom floor.  Mommy had to get a towel to mop it up as the bathroom mop doesn't soak up big floods fast enough.

This is the second time I've done this.  You see, I like to stand on top of the water container and look down.  I also stick my paws in the water and play with it.  Maybe Mommy needs to get a dog water container so it won't topple over again.

Anyway, not much else going on with me.  I hope everycat is having a nice weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy tells me that he's almost 16 years old and he's the King Cat of our house.  Of course, I'm the baby even though I'm 10 lbs plus.

Just recently, I've been grooming Sampy on the top of his head!  Still, I don't cuddle with him like Landy does.  Of course, I like to pick on him 'cause he's a good sport.  If he's tired of me picking on him, he walks away.

Lastly,it's been very cold during the weekend and today.  It snowed on Saturday for about 1/2 hour and stopped.  This year's not a snowy one, just a cold one.

Well, I got some new pics to be added soon.  I understand there's another day that's celebrated around here called "St. Patrick's Day".  Mommy will decorate our pages soon for that event and give us Irish names.

I wonder what she'll call me . . . "Jossi M. O'Floof" ?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I'm glad our Mommy's okay.  She's been through a lot since after Catmas and is exhausted from worrying about her health.  It's now confirmed (see Sampy's diary for details) that she doesn't have the "C" monster in her blood.

Also, I was a good girl this morning and caught that pesky fly that has been buzzing around in our house for two days.  I bopped him good and ate him right before breakfast.  I'll tell you, flies taste pretty good!  They're crunchy too!  I hope to get another one soon.  Mommy says when the weather gets warmer, I'll get my wish as flies are abundant then.

Well, I'm going to close now with Happy Valentine's Day wishes to everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When Mommy was taking pics of me earlier today, she wanted me to wear a little purple and white, girly-girl collar.  No way, I tried my best to get that collar off. I showed Mommy my "bitey" face (all four fangs bared).  She then took the collar off and put on a different one which I didn't like either (a red bow tie attached to a white collar).  I bit at that one and ran downstairs thinking that I could "run" out of it.  Mommy got me and took off the collar and told me, "no more collars for you until you grow up some more".  

That makes me want to stay a kitten forever . . . .

Anyway, we did have some snow which is mostly melted now.  The rest will melt as we're going to have a warm spell the beginning of the week.  Wednesday is supposed to hit 66 degrees.

Lastly, Mommy cooked some salmon in her convection oven again.  We had a nice salmon pawty with me, Sampy and Landy attending.  Bail and Merl didn't want any for some reason.

That's it everycat!  I hope your weekend went nicely.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, I'm still the baby of the household even though I'm bigger than Landy now.  Anyway, on Wednesday and Friday, we had this stuff come out of the sky called "snow".  It's white and very pretty.  Mommy went outside in her boots and when she came back in, she left snow footprints on the living room rug.  I sniffed the snow and ate some.  It was like cold, cold water.  Not bad at all!

Anyway, Mommy took a picture with her Iphone of me looking out the window at the snow.  The pic was a bit blurry.  She might add it to my page.

Well, that's about it from me.  I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy has been fixing up our pages for Valentine's Day.  She started late last night and is still wrestling with it today (it takes eons to load up pictures, for some reason).

Anyway, I love all the pinks, purples and reds on my page!  This is my first Valentine's Day and I don't have a sweetheart yet.  Mommy says I'm too young for a boyfriend right now.  BUMMER!!!

Anyway, I'm going to keep this one short and sweet as Mommy has to go to the store for a few hours.  She'll be back to finish up our pages; hopefully she can get them done.  She has five angles and five earth kitties to make pages for and also two who are not living with us (Yingy and Torbie Sue).

Got to run.

Even though you won't let me chase you.

Alright, I can't think of a cool birthday song right now.  This'll have to do!

Lastly, Mommy told me she had a weird dream about a big bumble bee that licked her on her left hand and bit her afterwards.  When she woke up, she asked me if I gave her one of my "lick bites".  My lips are sealed . . . .

Also, some new pics have been added to my page.  They were taken with the new Nikon.  They just have to be moved up to the first page.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When Mommy came home from shopping yesterday, she locked the screen door and left the other door open while she put her purchases on the dining room table (as she always does after shopping).  She then shut and locked the inner door.  She then went upstairs to take care of something . . .

Meanwhile, I was stuck between these two doors for TWO WHOLE HOURS!!!  At first I didn't mind as I got a lot of fresh air and it was not that cold outside.  When I got cold, hungry, and tired of being between these doors I let out the most pitiful meows in the hopes that Mommy would hear me.

She did!!!

She opened the door and apologized.  In fact, she was crying about being so  blind as to not have seen me in the doorway before the shut the inner door.

All in all, I'm fine and glad I have a nice thick coat.

It turns out that Mommy bought a new camera and was upstairs loading up its software which took forever since she has "dial up" on her computer.

Today, she took a lot of pics of all of us except Merl as he walked away when she tried to photo him.  Tonight, she got a couple of him eating.

Anyway, it's Merl's 7th birthday tomorrow.  I got to give him seven swats to his britches tomorrow!  MOL!!

Lastly, we need to get up a new decor on our pages soon.  Not sure when though.  Mommy did make some cute Valentine's Day pics for me.

I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend!

Also, I had a nail trim yesterday and I hope Mommy never does this again!  I hated every minute of it!  I don't know why she has to trim any of our nails.  It's no fun sharpening our claws on stuff when they're short!!

Also, Mommy took a bunch of new pics of me and will load them into the computer shortly, provided the batteries are charged enough.

Well, that's it for now.  I feel a nap coming on.

I also thank my following pawsome friends for their gifts and concats:

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  PLATELICKER - cool comment;
3.  PETER C. - cool comment;
4.  TIGER & Family - lovely heart;
5.  RHETT - cool comment;
6.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail.

I'm going to ask Mommy for more salmon or even chicken to celebrate my fame.

Anyway, today is Friday.  TGIF!  Even with it being a short week, Mommy says it took a long time getting here.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My favorite brother, Sampy, is in the Diary Limelight today!  Woo-Hoo!  It's his turn now!

I really love Sampy as he washes me and I wash him back.  This type of bond he only has with Landy and me; the alogrooming (sp?).  Merl and Bail don't like to be licked too much and won't return licks either.

Anyway, Mommy used the convection oven Auntie Mary gave her for Catmas to broil some salmon yesterday.  It turned out yummy!  Us kitties were circling Mommy for a taste; except Landy slept through this pawty!  He must have a stuffed up nose if he slept through this!

The salmon was pawsome and there's some leftover for tonight.  I can't wait!  It'll be a present for Sampy and I getting Diary Picks in the last few days.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe how lucky I've been lately on Catster!  I've gotten Diary of the Day, and Diary Picks and even Cat of the Day and I've been on Catster since September 2012. I'm sooooo lucky!  And I'm also so lucky to have such pawsome friends!

Thank you Diary Gal for choosing me again!  I also thank my lovely friends for their concats, etc.

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  HENRY - cool comment;
3.  TIGER - cool stocking;
4.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - cool snowman.

Also, we do have snow in our neck of the woods, but it isn't sticking yet.  Purrhaps it'll do so later on when it gets colder.  

Also, Mommy will be working on a New Year's Pick for me.  She started putting up ones that she used last year for the rest of our family.

So, that's it from me now.  I think I'll snuggle next to Sampy to help keep him warm as he's losing a lot of fur for some reason, plus the fur his cardiologist shaved off his chest hasn't come in much (he looks like a short hair in that area).

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a small treat of this stuff called "ham".  I never had it before and it was so yummy that I wanted more and more and more ...

Mommy said, "each of us was only getting a tiny piece as ham makes kitties very thirsty."  Pawrents!!!!

Anyway, I was a scaredy cat yesterday as I didn't recognize Auntie Mary.  I did sniff her hand and then I took off and stayed upstairs or in the living room.  I was afraid to come into the kitchen because the human ladies were talking and making a lot of noise and there was music playing loudly in the dining room.

I had an okay Catmas anyhow and played with my brothers earlier.

I hope everycat had a pawsome Catmas!

Lastly, we had some snow today, but now it's all rain.  I can't wait until I see a big snow where it really sticks.  Mommy doesn't want that though.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm getting to be a big girl!  I turned six months old yesterday! I'm also getting more floofy around my neck, britches and tummy.  Mommy calls me "smokey britches" sometimes as I have two gray stripes there.  They are the same size and are horizontal.  My tummy and underarms are also that smokey color.  Also, my ruff has a splash of auburn which shows up when I sun myself on the window perch.  All in all, I'm not a solid black cat.  I'm a black smoke or maybe even a black smoke tortie.  Time will tell when all my colors come in fully.

Lastly, Catmas is fast approaching.  Auntie Mary will be here on that day and she will bring a ham to cook.  Mommy already brought the vegetables and pineapple.  When the food is ready, again they'll take it to Mary's Dad's house and eat there.  It's really pawsome that they visit him as he's lonely during the holiday season.

Anyway, I must be on my way. Have a pawsome Sunday night, everycat.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA, am I a lucky kitty this weekend!  Yesterday I was CODT and today, I'm one of the Diary Picks!  Thank you Diary Gal for the Diary Pick honor!

I also thank my pawsome friends as follows for their concats & gifts:

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  THE BUSH FURS - lovely pink rosette;
3.  TATE - cool stocking;
4.  MILO BLUE EYES - cool mistletoe;
5.  FRISKIE & Family - cool jingle bells;
6.  NEWMAN - cool comment;
7.  JOBEL & Family - Canadian flag;
8.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail.

Also, I understand Mommy has finished decorating the Catmas tree.  She told me this morning that the angel on top was lopsided so she had to get on a step ladder to fix it. Then she had a few more ornaments and icicles to put on it.  I think she'll let me look at the tree and of course, she'll keep a close watch on me to make sure I don't climb it or knock off the ornaments.

Lastly, Mommy has a bag full of Catmas collars and most of them have jingle bells on them.  She tried a few on me last night, and of course, I don't like to wear collars especially if they have bells on them.  I don't know how she's going to get any pics of me wearing these scary collars!  Let Landy wear them!!!

Anyway, I'm going to take a nap in the cat tree downstairs.  I'm a bit tired after chasing Landy all through the house.

Purrs & Breeps,

Joss

P.S.  I let Mommy take two pics of me with a jingle collar on.  Miracle of all miracles!!]]></content:encoded>

She'll let us kitties look at it but of course, she's going to keep it in the computer room 'cause she knows Landy and I will climb it and knock off the ornaments.  Hiding the tree from us is no fun, Mommy!  She  needs to chill!

Anyway, I'll be back with more news later on.

Purrs & Breeps,

Joss

P.S.  Mommy got the catmas tree.  Landy and I got to sniff it and then Mommy took it upstairs to decorate it.]]></content:encoded>

Jocelyn Mae,
You get prettier every day.
Words alone cannot convey
My love for you, my Jocelyn Mae.

Mommy wrote this little poem for me.  I think. It's so pawsome!  She also told me that I was a fun type kitty and there's never a dull moment in the house since I've been here.

I'm a happy girl and am so glad that Mommy has adopted me.  I love her and all my brothers!

Well, I got to run now.  Have a pawsome day, my friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Twice Mommy took my poopie samples to the vet to check for worms and both times, they turned out negative.  Mommy told the vet she found evidence of tapeworm on my britches.  He said it was true that tapeworms don't show up on the slide when the samples are tested.

The vet gave Mommy a pill that would get rid of the tapeworm.  She put the pill in a pill pocket dipped in salmon juice from my breakfast, she opened my mouth, put in the pill and it went down.  Of course, this is the first pill I had ever taken and I'm not too fond of it.  I hope I don't end up having to take pills all the time like Sampy.

Anyway, I'm glad that old worm is a gonner!

As to Sampy, he really likes me!  I licks my head and ears all the time!  I kind of like it!  

Well, I'm going to turn in now as it's my bedtime.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been purring for Merlin and Sampy for several days.  I hope their boo-boos heal nicely!

Also, I like to pin down Landy and kick him, and of course, it's all in fun and not war.  Of course, I'm not 17.7 lbs so Landy can wriggle free.  But when I grow up, I better not pin down Landy or I may end up with a pierced ear!

Right now, Landy isn't mean to me.  He plays and never bites me, he only flashes his teeth.  Also, there are times that Landy doesn't want to play so he hisses and walks away.

Lastly, there were many photo shoots this weekend of me and Bail.  A bunch of these were put on FB this afternoon.  Mommy also made a few new Christmas pics too which she will add to our pages soon.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I hope everycat had a Happy Thanksgiving!  I did even though Mommy wouldn't let me have some of that roasting hen that Auntie Mary cooked.  It turned out that it was only for Mommy and Auntie Mary's Daddy.  Auntie Mary's a vegetarian so she couldn't eat any of it.  I also understand that the hen was drenched in wine before it was cooked so none of us kitties were allowed any of it!

Anyway, when Auntie Mary came to our house, I was at the top of the stairs waiting.  I did a double take and was ready to run as I thought I was seeing two Mommies!  This is the first time for me to see any other human in our house.  Soon, I warmed up to Auntie Mary when she stretched out her hand to let me sniff it; I could tell then that she was a cat lover. I also found out from Merl that Auntie Mary has his litter mate, Kali.

I hope everycat likes my Catmas decor.  It takes Mommy forever to do this as her computer runs slowly because it's a "dial-up" kind.  Whatever!!!

Lastly, Landy's been giving me the "brush off" lately.  He now hisses at me when I launch myself at him and he walks away.  He even called me a "fatty" because I'm much bigger and am catching up to him in weight.  He's the smallest brother.  Now I'm picking on the bigger bros, Sampy, mostly.  Landy was fun while it lasted.  He just doesn't want to wrestle like he used to.  Still, we're friends,and we snuggle together on the windowsill perch while we watch the birds in the redbud tree.

Well, I'll be on my way and let Mommy finish decorating our pages.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat Sampy on his Diary Pick today!  I think the Diary Gal likes him too!

I've been growing like a weed!  I'm almost 5 months now!  Can you believe that?  My oh my how time flies!  

I still love to play with water.  Mommy's seen me play in the kitchen sink several times.  She let the faucet drip slowly for me and I put my mouth under the trickle and caught a few drops.  I also caught some drops in one of my paws and drank from it.  Mommy says these are definitely Maine Coon traits.  She didn't get a video of this as her camcorder was upstairs while I was doing all this.  Figures!!

Speaking of videos, she managed to get a few of me and tried to upload one a few minutes ago, to no avail.  She's not sure what's going on with the video manager on Catster.  When she pressed the "help" button, nothing happened.  We're not happy about this as both of us wanted to share this cool video of me sitting on the windowsill perch.

Is anycat having problems with the video loader??  Let us know, purrlease!

Lastly, I pick on ALL my brothers ALL of the time.  I love to chase them and box them and even try to dance with them!  When Landy's tired, he'll hiss at me.  When Sampy's had enough, he walks away, likewise with Bail and Merl.

Well, that's about it from me.  Sorry, I haven't written in about a week.  It's been busy around here with Mommy taking an art class, working and going to doctors and taking Bail to the vet, etc.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm the top dairy today!  I'm the Diary of the Day!  The Numero Uno!  The No. 1!  Can you believe that!  My brother Bail is no. 5 Diary!  Concats to Bail and I thank the Diary Gal for making both of our days!

I also thank my pawsome friends for their gifts and concats:

1.  BOOMER & Family - yummy pumpkin pie (I go for the whipped cream  
    mostly);
2.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
3.  MANY TOES - pawsome pawmail and lovely pic;
4.  SAMOA - American flag & cool comment;
5.  MILO & MALLEE - cool comment;
6.  LEO - yummy turkey;
7.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - yummy pumpkin pie;
8.  PETE - purrty pink rosette & cool comment on my glitter pic;
9.  TIGER - lovely red rose.

I'm going to keep this one short as Mommy has a watercolor class that begins at 10:00 a.m. and it takes her 1/2 hour to get there.  

Also, Bail will update his diary later on today when Mommy gets back.

Also, Mommy made Thanksgiving pics last night and she's going to put them on my page right now.  They're not the best as her software has a selection of Thanksgiving picture frames that leave a lot to be desired.  She's going to make more from some of the online fancy frame places.

Well, I got to run so she can load up the pics.

Secondly, Mommy let me watch my first "Catnip Video" which was a bunch of chirping birds.  She took two pics of Landy and I watching it and will load them onto our pages soon.  I can't wait!!

Third, I concat Bail on his Diary Pic today and also President Obama on his victory. 

Well, I got to run and let Mommy get ready for a doctor's appointment and eventually her workplace.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Again, I jumped into the shower with Mommy.  I did it Saturday, Sunday and Monday (today).  Once I actually went under the shower head portion.  You see, Mommy's shower head doesn't spray hard enough and the full impact of the spraying water doesn't reach the far end of the tub.  That's where I jump in and get my feet a little wet.  Twice I headed toward the shower head area then I ran to the far end of the tub and jumped out.  Still, I'm intrigued by water.  I hug my water dishes too and stick my feet in them.  I also jump in the kitchen sink every morning too.

I also like stealing my brother's food.  You know, the grass is always greener on the other side.  They also like to steal my food too.  I suppose all kitties like to sample each others grub.

Lastly, Mommy hasn't been feeling too well all weekend and today.  She says the her right side feels sore (not as bad as Saturday when it first happened).  She thinks it's from eating too much Halloween candy during the week and it caught up with her.  She hopes it's nothing serious.  Anyway, she does have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday.  I'll purr for her extra!

Well, that's it.  I'm bored now as I tired out my brothers and they're all sleeping.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I thank the Diary Gal for honoring me again as one of the Diary Picks today!  WOO-HOO!  My brothers have taught me how to write good diaries!  This diary was about, of course, Halloween.

I also thank my pawsome friends for their concats and gifts:

1.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail;
3.  KODY - cool comment;
4.  TIGER - cool black cat & cool comment;
5.  NEWMAN - cool comment;
6.  MALLEE - cool comment;
7.  MILO BLUE EYES - lovely red rose.

Mommy corralled me, Bail, Landy and Sampy in the master bedroom during the time the trick or treaters came.  Merl stayed downstairs as he's one of the cats who hides on his own and doesn't run to the door.  He told me he hid under the coffee table and living room couch, if the noises got too loud.

There was a great turnover of trick or treaters who came between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.  Mommy says there were some unusual and imaginative costumes that caught her eye:  a jellyfish, a mushroom and a witches broom. Of course, others were: Tinkerbell, gothic girls, action heros, angels, dogs, etc.

Lastly, after Mommy let us out of the bedroom when the trick or treaters had gone, Bail and I took turns playing a new game.  It was chase your tail in the bathtub.  I watched him do it,then I tried it.  What fun!  Around and around I went trying to grab my tail.  I finally stopped spinning and caught my tail and washed it!  All this of course, took place in a dry bathtub!

Well, I got to run now and enjoy my day in the limelight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm wondering about this day called "Halloween".  Bail told me things that go bump in the night come out to scare everyone on this day!  Whatever!  Nothing scares me!!!

We'll see what happens.  Mommy's supposed to greet these young human kids called "trick or treaters" when they come to our door.  They are asking for candy treats.  

Anyway, we'll see what kind of turn out we have.  Probably not many as it's very cold out today and will get colder tonight.  At least the nasty lady Sandy has left town!

Purrs & Breeps, and Happy Halloween!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hurricane Sandy is approaching us.  Mommy says she heard that between 6:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. will be the worst of it, and we expect to lose power during these hours or even sooner.  Right now the wind is blowing and howling like crazy.  Also, its been raining all day.

We pray for us and our neighbors and everyone who's in the path of Sandy.  Stay safe everyone!

The Pepco president is speaking right now on Channel 5 and how they are going to have extra help to restore power.  Assessment will be done some time tomorrow when the winds die down.  

On a lighter note; I like water.  I jumped into the shower with Mommy yesterday morning and have been playing in the kitchen sink yesterday and today!  Of course, my water tank is a great water toy too!!  Of course, I don't like hurricanes!!!

I got to go now.

Purrs, prayers and breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I lost one of my baby fangs this weekend!  The new fang is about 1/2 way grown in.  I think I lost the baby fang while wrestling with Landy.  No tooth fairy got to visit me because of this.  Mommy told me she wanted to find the baby tooth. Unfortunately it's gone for good.

Anyway, the weather was okay today.  Mommy had a couple windows open so we could enjoy watching the birds and squirrels.

Come Monday, there's supposed to be a nasty storm named Sandy coming to town.  Because of this, everyone along the east coast are stocking up on stuff such as water, non-perishable food, batteries, of course, cat food, etc.  I understand she's got another name such as "Frankenstorm"!  That sounds really scary!  Because of this storm, I'm not sure there will be any Halloween celebration on Wednesday.  

I hope and pray that everyone in the path of Sandy are safe.  Purrs and prayers to all and us included.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love water!  It's necessary to keep well hydrated and I stick firmly to that.  Mommy thinks it's funny when she finds me hugging the large water dish upstairs.  I also love to dunk my front paws in it.  Also, I got curious about this waterfall thingy Mommy gets into every morning.  One day I got really curious and jumped in to see what it was all about.  Lucky for me, I jumped on the front side of the "shower curtain" so I didn't get nothing wet except for my feet.  I jumped right out too and never did that again.  I'll only stick my feet in the water dish.

Also, I got my rabies and distemper shots on Monday.  The vet said I now weigh 4.5 lbs (up from my 3.8 lbs several weeks ago).  Also, here's the big surprise!  I'm a big girl now!  The tips of my adult top fangs are coming in.  So I'm older than what the adoption people had me down as.  Mommy will change my age to 4 months old some time today.  Also, she thinks I'm a black smoke as my tummy, britches, ruff and underarms has some gray mixed in.  When I sit side by side with Merl you can tell that he's solid, coal black whereas I'm not.

Lastly, I extend belated concats to Sampy and Bail for their DDP's yesterday!  Oh, by the way, Sampy is feeling great this morning!  He ate and was singing and up and around like his normal self!

Got to go.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm having a great time exploring the big house.  I especially like running up and down the stairs.  I've learned some short cuts to go down these stairs even faster from Bail such as jumping down part of the way or cutting through the railing and jumping on the couch (this I taught myself).

This morning I gave Mommy a wake-up call before 6:00 a.m. just like Merl and Sampy does with purrs and licks.

I also learned about a few places none of us kitties are allowed:  the cellar, outside, and any closet.  Mommy says the cellar is off limits because of things called spiders live under the stairs; the outdoors is bad too because of many more dangers than spiders; and she doesn't want us in the closets because they're full of her clothes.

Anyway, I'm getting bigger and I'm not afraid of my brothers at all.  They respect me, believe it or not.

Lastly, Mommy took more pics of me which have landed up on FB yesterday.  Some time today, they're be posted on my Catster page.  I hope you enjoy them.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To me, my brothers' tails are fun to play with, especially Landy's.  He has a way of switching his tail back and forth and it looks like a long gray snake to me!  All the more fun to spring on!!

As to the others, two of them are bushy like mine and are harder to play with as my claws get caught in all that floof.  As to Merl's tail, he doesn't wag it as much as Landy so it's not as much fun to pounce on.

Lastly, Mommy thinks I got a lot of Maine Coon in me as I'm getting floofier by the minute.  I'm getting bigger too and I have very large paws for a kitten my age.

Well, that's the short sweet note from me for today.  Have a happy Friday, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, Mommy got me a very large toy called the "Red Shoe". It looks like a big human sneaker with holes in it and black laces.  Kitties can crawl inside, sit on top (like Sampy and Landy do) and play wth the laces.  I love it!

Secondly, I got Diary Pick again today!  I think the Diary Gal loves me!  Thank you for this pawsome honor again!

I also thank my following friends for their concats and gifts.  Some of these are from my first DDP that I didn't get around to thanking:

1.  THE BUSH FURS - lovely pink rosette;
2.  KODY - lovely pink rosette & cool comment;
3.  ZACK - cool pumpkin;
4.  TONY & ANNA - yummy turkey;
5.  TATE - cool pumpkin.
6.  MAZIE - friend's request;
7.  ZACK & ZOEY & ROCKY ANN - friend's request;
8.  MALLEE - cute ladybug;
9.  KIBBLES - cool comment;
10. NEWMAN - cool comment;
11. MILO BLUE EYES - cool comment;
12. ANGEL TIGGER - pretty heart.


WOWZA!  I feel like a queen!!

Lastly, last night us kitties played in the box that the red shoe came in.  Landy, Bail & I took turns crawling inside and batting each other's tails!  It was great fun!  I'm glad that Bail is finally starting to come out of his shell and play with me.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy and my bros told me about getting to be one of the Diary Picks or Diary of the Day.  Well, I've been chosen as one of the Diary Picks for today!  I've only been on Catster for a week and am now in the limelight!  Thank you HQ for choosing me for today!  I'm pawstruck!

I also thank my pawsome friends for their gifts and kind concats as follows:

1.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail and friend's request;
2.  INKY & Family - yummy drumstick;
3.  ANNA & TONY & Family - purrty pink rosette;
4.  MUPPET - lovely sparkling diamond;
5.  NEWMAN & Family - cool comment.

Also, as to my vet visit, I did great despite being nervous which made my heart beat faster than a kitten at my age.  I weigh 3.8 lbs which the vet says is bigger than most kitties my age.  My lungs sound good and I didn't have a temperature.  I didn't  like that thermometer ordeal and at the same time, they managed to get my temp.  Also, they gave me some yucky tasting medicine as a follow up on the worm stuff I was given before Mommy adopted me.

As to getting along with my bros, still Landy and Sampy are my favs.  Merl is starting to get more curious about me.  As to Bail, he got curious again this morning; I gave him my Halloween special back arching/bristled tail move and then he hissed and walked away.  Mommy told me It takes longer to get to know Bail.  It took about a week for him to like and trust Landy.

Landy and I play games such as "tag you're it" and "hide and seek".  Sampy sings to me a lot and will give me a few friendly swings.

Of course, there' s two things I don't like about Landy;  he's peed in my litterbox three times and likes to steal my kitten dry food.  I suppose this is what bros do.

Anyway, mommy took a few more pics of me and hopefully she'll add them some time today.

Got to go now.

Purrs & Breeps ,

Joss

P.S.  Mommy's spoiling me with toys. The other day she bought me two "flutter balls" which are balls with feathers attached and a scratching post.  Yesterday, she bought me a new cat bed but Sampy slept in it instead.  Anyway, I'd rather sleep in Mommy's bed or on the end table or inside Merlin's old cat condo which he had when he was my age.  Today, she brought me a "big red shoe" which has holes in it that I can crawl into.  Guess what?  I sniffed it and walked away.  Along came Sampy who tried to get inside to no avail so he sat on it.  Mommy took his picture with her phone.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so sorry about not writing in a few days!  I've been busy playing!  I get carried away as just about anything is a toy to me!  Even Mommy!  I've briefly met two of my brothers; Sampy and Landy.  I like them both a whole lot!  As to Bail and Merl, they're keeping their distance right now.  Bail wanted in my room this morning but when he saw me, he hissed and ran away.

Anyway, I'm going to visit some one called the "vet" this morning.  I hope all goes okay.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm really enjoying being in my new home.  Mommy gave me more toys Landy has outgrown such as two light green mice and a scratching post that is a combination tunnel and fancy chair.  Well, I love it!  I run under the tunnel part all the time.

Also, I love chewing on Mommy's fingers and these silver shiny things she wears around her neck and wrist. I also like to attack her feet!

She says I'm a bundle of energy and it's hard to photograph me.  Anyway, she managed to get another glowing eyes pic of me and a couple of me drinking out of my water tank.

Lastly, I met another girl named ABIGAIL who is also a black kitten except her hair is shorter than mine.  Her Mommy is Angel Colleen's Mommy.  What a coincidence that both our Mommies got black kittens around the same time.

Lastly, I thank SAMOA AND NEWMAN for the lovely pumpkin and welcoming me to Catster and also to my new home.

Later and of course, purrs & breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I spent my first night in the big house and I loved it.  I played with my new scratching post which had a feather attached to a rubber string.  Of course, in a few hours, I had pulled off the feather.  I then got tired and slept on the window sill perch and the rest of the night, I slept on Mommy's bed next to her waist on the left side.  Her bed is really warm and soft. I hope to sleep there a lot of times.

Also, those brothers of mine keep wanting to meet me.  They're constantly sticking their paws under the door crack.  What if I bopped them on those paws?  I've been hissing at them anyway.

Lastly, I thank my new Catster friends for their lovely welcome aboard gifts:

1.  WILSON J. SCOOTER & Family - 20 zealies and lovely heart;
2.  THE BUSH FURS - lovely star;
3.  MAGGIE - lovely diamond;
4.  JOBEL & THE MANXTERS - lovely emerald;
5.  TONY & ANNA - cool balloons.

Caster is really a cool place!  I'm feeling wanted!

Well, it's getting late again.  I'm going to hang with Mommy for a while before she goes to bed.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ "Who's that girl? Who's that girl?  It's JOSS!"  Well, I'm poking fun of that TV sitcom called "New Girl".  Just like "Jess" I'm in a place full of boys except I have four of them to deal with.  I already hissed at them for putting their paws through the bedroom door crack.  I can hiss pretty loudly too!

I'm totally black and have green eyes.  My tail is a feather duster and my ear floof is fine and whispy!  

My new Mommy thinks it's so ridiculous why a lot of people shun black cats.  You'd think they're living back in Salem, MA during the witch hunts!  I'm beautiful and not bad luck to anyone!!

Mommy believes that my new brothers former sister Camille Rose probably sent me to her.  She felt this connection with me yesterday with her heart and she was battling with her other part saying it was too soon after Cam's passing.

I'm glad that she came back for me!

Also, Mommy's going to call the vet for a checkup for me.  In the meantime, I have to be quarantined from my brothers for a bit.  Mommy also thinks I'm a bit small to be introduced just yet anyway.  She wants me to get a little bigger.

Anyway, I going to cut it short for now.  I hope I make a lot of new friends in Catsterland and I also hope my brothers here respect me when I get the run of the house.

Purrs & Breeps, (I breep too; Mommy heard me once)
