		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I know, I know. I NEVER write in my diary any more. Mom is really bad about reminding me to write and I get so busy watching birds and grooming Scooter, that I forget.  However, today was a big deal and I just had to write about it. I think Scooter will too!

Today we got to meet the mom of our friends Angel Scooter (the famous Meezer) and Angel Lola and now Beepers and Ashlynne. Pansy is going to be furry jealous, I bet! Mwahahahaha.  You may remember, that we got to know Scooter when we were being the Blue Brothers and leading every cat on a mystery that ultimately caused the opening of Samoa's Detective Agency!

Scooter was the first one to  find us out and then kept our secret for us so the fun could continue!  

It was fun to meet her mom today and guess what!!!!!! She brought toys. Mom wouldn't let me play with them while she was there, because I supposedly get pretty growly and selfish over toys when my brother is around, but she said I can play with them later when Scooter is asleep. Thank you so much for the toys, Miss Bonnie!

I liked Miss Bonnie, but decided I didn't want to be petted too much today. I decide that sometimes. It musses my fur. I decided I didn't want my fur mussed up today. Maybe next time she comes over, I won't be having a bad fur day and will get petted. Maybe not. That's how I roll. Mom says I am a drama king, but she doesn't understand the care a Ragdoll's fur requires. 

I am exhausted from the excitement, so I am off to nap. I can't wait to play with my toys later. 

Purrrs, Nikko]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is indeed a sad day for all of us. Mom's eyes keep leaking and we are furry sad too.
Today, Buddie's Tiny Gumdrop joined him at the Bridge. Hazel Lucy is known to us all. She cared for the sick kitties by starting and administrating the purr list for many years. She kept us informed about food recalls and was dedicated to making sure we all had good information about the safety of the food we eat.
She was a hero to many of us and a friend as well.
Her tranquility blankets have brought comfort to countless kitties.
Today is a day that all of Catsterland should take a moment of silence and purr for her to be happy at the Bridge and for her mom, who will miss her dearly.
We miss you, Hazel Lucy. You left pawprints on all of our hearts.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Ragdoll brother from another mother, Rufus, tagged me. So, here are 5 things about my human mom that annoys me. I can't believe I have to narrow it down to  only 5!

Like my pal Rufus, I ask very little. I am not a demanding kitty at all. *Mommy rolls eyes*

1. Like my pal Rufus, I like to drink water out of a people-glass in the evening. It took my Mommy nearly 6 years to figure this out.
She really did not interpret my needs very quickly.
2. I have to meow and meow and meow several times a day to remind Mommy that she has not told me in several hours that she adores me. A fellow can get insecure after all.
3. Early in the morning at 3 or 4, I have to go to the trouble of patting Mommy on the nose to remind her to pet me. She knows I like to be loved early in the pre-dawn hours, but I have to remind her every time. Sometimes I have to pat her with my claws a bit, because she ignores me. 
4. Mommy follows me to the litterbox. I realize that I have a history of urinary problems, but a guy needs his privacy. Then, she publicizes my occasional poopy-on-the-floofy problems with all of Facebook. (Is that two complaints or one?)
5. Mommy likes to tickle my tail. She knows I hate this. Why, Mommy?

Wow, it felt great to get that off of my chest!

I tag:
My fluffy nephew, Kovo
My neighbor, Beepers
My German friend, Ishtar
My naughty friend, Newmie
And anyone else who wants to play along!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today Scooter and Mommy and I are crying. We just learned that one of our dearest friends, Arnold P. went to the Bridge. We know he has been sick and had his ups and downs for the past year. In fact, he almost had to go to the Bridge this time last year, but he was so brave and battled on. His mother was so good to him and took such good care of him.  They took care of each other.
Arnold befriended me shortly after we joined Catster. He and I had a running joke about a picture of me with a HK tiara. He always made me giggle. When he was sick last year, I told him I was going to wear that tiara until he got better. I did, too. 
Today, I wear the tiara to say goodbye to a friend. 
I know he is at the Bridge with Calvin and Scooter and good girl Lola and so many more wonderful cats, but we will miss him so much here on Earth.
Our hearts break for his mom, because he meant the world to her.  I am sure she is glad that he isn't feeling sick anymore, though. She always kept his best interest at heart and was very unselfish.
WE LOVE YOU ARNIE AND WE WILL MISS YOU ALWAYS! Our hearts are broken, but we will meet again for sure.
Love, Nikko]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meows!
I have not written in forever!  I am a bad diary cat! But, today, Scooter wrote and I have to write too.
I told him we should write in our diaries to thank our bestie Pansy for helping us with our pawtastic new pages! 
THANK YOU PANSY!!!
Then, Scooter decided to try to stir up trouble. He deduced that Pansy is valentines with a certain Tux we know and he thought he would make trouble. He thinks Pansy has a crush on him and wrote all about it in his diary.
I think the boy has been hitting the nip. I asked Pansy to make him a Valentine's themed page and he took it as a sign that she has a crush.  
Oh, brother!
Pansy, I tried to tell him.....]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, Mom was busy at work all day and finally looked on Catster and ran to tell me I was a diary pick again!  What a surprise. I was so happy!  I don't do a very good job of writing in my diary and I almost never talk about poopies in my diary. Samoa says if you want to be a diary pick, it helps to talk about poopies. I must be really lucky to be chosen twice recently!  Woot!
 Thanks to my pals for sending me gifts and pmails.  I hope to thank you all purrsonally soon!  I sure to appreciate you kind thoughts!
Thank you also for keeping me in your thoughts as I try my best to keep that Crystal chick from visiting me again. 
I feel kind of bad, actually, because after I kicked her out she want and visited my buddy Gleek. I didn't want her to go over there!  Then, she visited my other buddy Charlie. He is just a young fellow. He doesn't need any girls visiting him! 
How come we manly mancats can't do a better job of fighting off this evil chick??  Where does she get off hanging around Catsterland's dude kitties and bugging us?  
I say we won't take it anymore!  I say we won't tolerate Crystal anymore!  Mancats unite!  Mancats fight!  
Let's start a neighborhood watch and keep Crystal out of our houses!
We are fed up and we won't take it anymore!  
Feel better Gleek and Charlie!  We are all purring for you!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!!!  Today I got my first diary pick honor ever!  (of course, I hardly ever write in my diary, so I understand why I have never been picked before.)  Thanks, Diary Gal!
I am very pleased and want to thank Buddie-Always Loved for pmailing me and telling me!!

I don't know what all is involved in being a diary pick. Will I need an agent? A photographer?  I guess I will have to consult with Samoa, she seems to know a lot about diary picks.

Crystal Update:
I am feeling pretty well right now. Mom is being vigilant and follows me to the litterbox, which is such an invasion of privacy, but I guess she means well.
I am eating my new  food and taking my meds. 
Thank you for the well wishes and purrs. 

Well, I suppose I must go and see what is expected of a DDP.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi, kitties!  As usual, it has been fur-ever since I posted a diary. I am just not good at keeping up. 
First of all, I would like to ask all of you to help me wish my brother Scooter a happy 5th birthday coming up on 8/5/2010.
He is the bestest brother ever!  Happy Birthday, Scooter!

You all know, I am great friends with Newman and Gleek and clan. Well, I decided to follow in Gleek's footsteps and get urinary crystals. ugh, what a bad idea. Gleek, next time, let's do something fun together.
Mommy went to Germany just over two weeks ago for a seminar. One week after she went, Dad called her and said I was doing tons of tiny pee wees all over the house. I have had two urinary problems before. Once in 07 and once last December. Dad too me to the vet and I had to stay and they determined I had many, many crystals. They sent me home with some meds and Science Diet CD. Two days later, I was back-still miserable. Mommy was miserable being so far away from me too, btw.
I got new meds.  Two days later-back I went and had to stay again and this time--more crystals. More meds and another new food. Hills SD.
Mom came home Saturday and I am happy to have her back, let me tell you. I am a mama-boy.
So far, I seem better, but we are still worried about another relapse or blockage. 
My mom meowed with Rufus' mom, cause Rufus is another handsome Raggie with a history of pee wee problems. Mom is going to try to meow with Gleek's mom too. She needs all the support she can get, because she is a wreck.
Calvin-Knead On- always said girls could be trouble, and this girl Crystal is a real pain in the you-know-where, let me tell you!
I will keep you posted on how I am feeling.
p.s. please don't tell Nurse Pansy about this. She has some pretty scary treatments. ;-o

I had a good 5th birthday!  It was quiet, but we were all together and that is what counts!!
Mommy and Daddy have had colds and been really busy, but I got lots of kisses and extra hugs and my favorite pouch food!  I had extra fun with Scooter keeping Mommy and Daddy up most of the night.  We sometimes enjoy doing that. MOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meowlo, Everyone!

Just wanted to give a quick update, since all my friends have been so kind and purred for me during my nasty bladder infection and peewee problems. *blushes-so embarrassing*
I am feeling a tiny bit better every day.  I am visiting the box much less often and I even played with Scooter today.   I am liking my new special vet food and I think the liquid medicine is yummy and I take it like a champ.  This morning I was really, really cuddly with Mommy and purring like crazy.  
I still have a ways to go.  I made a flojectile this morning and I do more and smaller puddles than absolutely normal.  
Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy bought me a new fountain. We already have a CatIt fountain that Scooter LOVES, but I am not that keen on it and I am not a big drinker.  So, they bought a new WhiskerCity fountain. They figured two cats=two fountains. Of course, Scooter LOVES it too and I am kind of interested in it too.  Maybe I will try to drink more.
Mommy says the best sign that I am feeling better is that Scooter is more like himself today. While I was sick, Scooter was very quiet. She was even wondering if he was feeling poorly.  Today, when he saw me a bit perked up, he perked up too. I think he was being quiet to be supportive. What a good brother he is!
I am off to rest!
Thanks again for all the purrs!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mornin' Kitties!
I had a pretty good night.  I even pestered Mommy to snuggle me early this morning like I always do when she is trying to sleep in.  I purred.  I guess I have decided to forgive her for taking me to the vet place where they tortured me and gave me sub standard lodging. I guess she was trying to help me. You would think they could help a fellow without ruining his dignity. *snort*
I am making fewer trips to the box.  Still a bit too many. The living room is still redecorated with towels covering all the furniture, but I haven't had any accidents lately. Scooter and I love the new decor. It makes all the chairs cozy to snooze on. MOL
I ate some more of that yummy vet food this morning. I like it so far. Mommy is still mixing it with my old wet food so I don't get a tummy upset from a quick switch. 
I plan a day of resting and will take my meds.  Tomorrow we will see if I am much improved and call the vet if not. Mommy says she wants to make sure we are squared away for Christmas and don't have to visit any emergency vet places.  
Thank you again to all my pals who have purred and sent rosies and helpful pmails and diary entries!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meows!
I am just now getting around to writing and update because I really slept all day.  I am awfully tired. I feel a bit better and am eating and taking my medicine well.
I don't visit the litter box as often, but still ALOT.  I still feel like I have to go when I don't really.  I like the new litterbox in the living room. Mommy bought it last night at the store and put it in the living room so that I wouldn't want to go on the furniture. Now, when I have that sudden urge, I don't have to run upstairs or into the downstairs bathroom. I just go across the room.  Mommy says not to get too used to it. It is not her idea of pretty decor and it will go away when I get well.  Scooter thinks it is pretty convenient too. MOL  I will hate to see it go. 
I had some special food tonight. Mommy bought it at the vet.  It was canned food and was yummy. It is supposed to help me with my peewee problem. I even think the Clavamox medicine is tasty. Tastes like bananas. 
Mommy says if I am still wanting to pee so often by Monday, she is going to call the vet and make sure this is the best medicine for me. 
Scooter took good care of me today. We slept together in the chair by the window most of the day. Mommy took pictures and will post them tomorrow to my site and Facebook.  She said it was really cute. 
Time for bed!  Mommy says I need plenty of rest!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, Everycat.
As you know, I am terrible about writing in my diary. Mostly is is my secretary's fault. Something about her job. Pffft!
Anyway, I wanted to thank Hazel Lucy for adding me to the purr list and thank my friends for the purrs and the kind rosettes and purrs in their diaries. I will get individual thank yous out when I am back on my paws.
I thought I would update so that my pals know what is going on.  Last night at around 11:00, just after Mommy went to bed, I started crying. I decided I would not stop until I feel better. I just had to get someone's attention and let them know that I kneaded some help.  My bladder is all inflamed and sore and I have to pee like every two minutes, but only little drops come out.  
At first, Mommy and Daddy were annoyed with all the meowing. After all, they were trying to sleep.  Mommy hasn't been feeling well as it is and hasn't been sleeping too well.
After a while, though, Mommy got up to check on me and noticed that I was trying to pee on everything.  I did this once before, two years ago. Mommy knew then and there that I had a your-in-ary problem.  Why did it have to be midnight when that cropped up?  Pfffft!  She got up with me and stayed up the rest of the night and tried to comfort me, while covering all the furniture with towels and sheets to prevent me from ruining all of the stuff in the house.  I don't mean to, Mommy, really!!  I just hurt!
Mommy made arrangements to miss work and at 7:30 when the Vet opened, we were on our way.  They said I was not blocked at all and they made me stay all morning there in a little cage with just a litterbox.  That was not very nice!  No bed or anything. I complained LOUDLY about the accommodations.  A nice tech told me that if there were a bed or towel in the cage, I would pee on it and they couldn't get my your-in for a sample. Boy, I guess my your-in is valuable. I don't like it. I keep trying to get rid of it. 
They gave me fluids (ouch!) and eventually got their precious sample. Pffft! I heard the V-E-T call  Mommy and say she could come get me and that I had no crystals, just an infection. They gave me a shot and sent home some meds. I am giving Mommy the cold shoulder for taking me to that nasty place.
  I still can't quit peeing.  Mommy just moved one of my litter boxes in the living room, so that I can use it really easily. She hope that saves the furniture. 
Thank you for the purrs. I need them. I still feel poorly and won't lay  down and rest. I haven't slept in ages and neither has mom.
Ok, I have to go pee.  I will keep you posted. Nikko]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As you all know, I don't write in my diary enough.  I just wanted to write to ask all of you to purr for our dear raggie friend, Tiskers. Tiskers is the twin of Mittens and is in Boogers' family.  He is such a sweet kitty. He is his mommy's little love bug and he has just been diagnosed with HCM.  We ragdolls can be prone to this awful disease, although any cat can get it.  The Catster community lost Picasso to this last year.

We feel so badly for Tisker's whole family and we just know that with all of Catsterland behind him, he can still live a long time and have fun with his family.
So, join Scooter and me in a group purr for Tiskers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was a normal Friday. Nothing much going on.  Daddy came home with a box.  It smelled like a cat!  "Open it, open it, Daddy, we meowed"
Mommy ran in and opened the box and IT WAS A CAT!  A stray cat rescued by Calvin's Mawmee and sent to us by none other than one of our besties, PanZy!  She told Calvin's Mawmee we would provide a good home for her.
Wait til you hear this:  She is handmade and she is a German Princess! Yep!  Her name is Fräulein Prinzessin and she has big blue eyes and is a blue point like us!  She speaks only German, but that is no problem, because we all speak German.
She gives smoochies and I love smoochies!
THANK YOU PANZY!!!!!  We will give her the best home ever!  Thanks to Calvin's Mawmee for rescuing her. She was a stray, can you believe it?  
We will post photos as soon as Scooter and I quit fighting over her and she has had some food and some rest.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, everycat!!  As you all know, we are not very good at keeping up with our diaries.  However, today a special package came in the mail.  Daddy brought the mail in and said there was a package and it looked like it might be from one of our kitty friends. Mommy helped us open it and saw it was  from The Cat in the Clover.  Inside was a package of 3 Rats!!  EEeeeeeeee!  There was a nice card too and a little catnip square to play with. The card was from our lovely Canadian friend, Pansy.  It wished us a happy Easter and said one rat was for me, the other was for Scooter, and the third was for our mommy!  It was packaged so nicely!  Thank you, Pansy!!  We were so surprised!  All three of us are high on nip!  Especially Mommy. She thinks she is a cat too. Oh, dear!  We will get pictures posted asap. 
Calvin's mawmee sure does nice work. Our sleep sacks that we got from her are our all time favorite beds!!  
Boy, it sure was a fun day with our  new rat pack!!  
 Thank you again, Pansy!!  You're the bestest!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, friends, my birthday is almost over and it was a very nice, fun day. 
So many of you helped to make it  so.
In addition to the cats I thanked in my earlier entry, I want to thank Pansy again for the message on my Voki. I don't understand why she had to leave so quickly. She knows my Mommy adores her. Hmmm?
Thanks also to  Hazel Lucy, Scooter (our favorite angel Meezer xoxoxo), Teebo and Callie, and Isis for their kind gifties. 

I so appreciate you stopping by my page to share my birthday with me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It has been a long time since I wrote in my diary. Mom says I should write much more, but writing in my diary takes time away from relaxing, playing and keepin my eyes open for Pansy.  She always has something up her sleeve and a fellow can't be too careful.

Today, though, I had a rosie from my favorite Cookie, Samoa!  She sent me a smoochie!  She said I made her 2009 Dreamboat list!  *blush* Me?????   She said such nice things about me in her diary. Gosh!  I can't imagine anycat thinking I am  a dreamboat!!  *blush*  My eyes are crossed and everything. *hangs head*  I know Mommy thinks I am the cat's meow, but a pretty cat like Samoa?  
Thanks, Cookie. I am truly honored to be on your list. There are such nice and handsome cats on your list, like my pal Arnold P.  (See, Arn, girls like a boy who is not afraid to wear a pink tiara once in a while. MOL)
Samoa, I will borrow a term from your brother, Calvin, and ask you if you will be one of my friend-girls??  
Gotta go get brushed. A dreamboat can't go around with tangled fur!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Whew! What a relief! Thanks to Boogers and his brother Fido, Princess has been stopped. All hostages were freed and Mommy was able to come home. Pansy still claims that she is not Princess, but I think we all know better. 
All in all, though, the Princess caper was fun. We love adventure, Scooter and I!  No one was hurt and the Cheese Whiz is still safe with Boogers!
Pansy, we still love you and know you can't help being just a bit naughty. MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello friends!  I have been terrible at keeping up with any sort of diary at all!  However, recent events prompt me to write. 
It all started when we got to know Pansy. She is a creative genius with the camera and has kindly sent us some wonderful pictures.  We are so thankful for those pictures.We consider her one of our very bestest Catster pals!  She is Boogers' bff, but  they seem to have a troubled friendship to say the least!  I am not sure of all the details, but Boogers loves Tiki Cat cat food and Pansy has an odd affinity for Cheese Whiz. I guess these addictions are something like Mommy's addiction to Starbucks. They get a little crazy when they can't have these items.

Anyway, some of Pansy's Cheese Whiz went missing and poor Boogie got the blame. Pansy's evil twin, Princess, has vowed revenge. In the mean time, Mommy heard through the grapevine that Pansy is very furry and has a lot of shedding and undercoat. Mommy always wants to help kitties, so she selflessly boarded a plane to Canada with Furminator in hand, hoping to furminate Pansy's belly for her. Pansy has an unnatural fear of the Furminator and set Mommy up with Canadian security and Homeland Security. Thankfully, Boogers bailed Mommy out of jail. The charges are  false! Mommy has been betrayed! She is on the run until this all can be settled.  You see, "Princess" is now using Mommy as part of her diabolical plot against Boogers!  She has kidnapped Tiki Cat, Lancelot, and Sawyer, and has vowed to take my brother Scooter too!  I am hot on Pansy aka Princess's trail, but she seems unstoppable. 
Catsters, please, if you see  a little tuxedo cat wearing a wig alert the authorities. Many lives depend on it.]]></content:encoded>
