		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Does any other cat ever think that some cats are just meant to be a loner? Don't get me wrong, I like socialization, but I've always been to myself.  The running joke is that I'm a geezer and I keep everything and everyone in line.  No need to be a social butterfly or annoy my other siblings.

I think I was meant to be a loner.  Not an only cat of course, but I'm content with a companion, more so than a crowd of cats.  I dunno!

I'm still loving those new crunchy treats! Who am I kidding.  I love all treats to be honest, but the new ones are extra good! The "crispies" are pawsome! I give them many paws up!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As mentioned before, I'm a very picky eater but mom gave us some new moist food!! We got to try Tiki's light blue can of Chicken and Fussy Cat's chicken and brown rice (or something like that).

WAY TO GO!! I loveeeeeeeee those two cans! Porkers seemed to like the Fussy Cat, but said no to Tiki.  

And the plus side? Fussy Cat had a lot of veggies so I got my veggies for the day too! Anyway, time to drink water and bathe my head!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YES!! Mom kept her word AND some!! Today she brought home 3 bags of "Friskie's Crunchies" treats, the sparkly balls, a new round scratcher thing, a HUGE Mylar ball, 2 feather toys, a fishie toy, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Seriously folks, we made out good!! I especially liked the Cheese Crunchies!

I've been sneezing a lot lately, so if I'm not better or if my sneezing continues I might go to the vet tomorrow.  Ugh, I like my vet but I hate going on car rides, no matter how short they are.  I figure I might get some Clavimox pills as they seem to do the trick.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I'm sometimes picky when it comes to cat treats.  I sometimes go in spurts when it comes to treats.  Mom is going to try some new treats to see if I will eat them.  I'm sure my siblings will approve! I just hope Mittens doesn't eat them all up! I know PorkChop won't touch them as he is even more pickier than I am when it comes to treats!

Mom is just happy and surprised that there's actually a moist food out there that he will eat! He sometimes ate ProPlan's urinary moist, but that was a strong SOMETIMES.  Who knew Fancy Feast was the key to his heart, I mean, stomach!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As Mittens meowed, me, Porkers and Mittens tend to do our own thing.  But lately PorkChop and Mittens have been protecting me.  Like they seriously got my back, errrr tail.  Yup, even though we have all had a spat here and there with each other, we will always stick side-by-side one another.  We're good like that.  Why? 'Cause we're cats that's why! Doggies don't think and do what we do.  They are nose brained.  All they think is food right?

Anyway, time to do what I do best, nap :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just got back from seeing my vet along with Ethan my brother.  So I in fact had an abscess!! There was no wound/bite mark but my vet did a "Ll Fine Needle Aspirate, LI Cytology" and yup! An abscess!

So I'm on Zeniquin 25mg tablets for 14 days and if that doesn't help then I have to get it lanced.  I also got my rabies shot and took it like a champ.  I weight 15.5 pounds :)

Ethan the dog got an annual exam, and Vac/Bb/PI/CAV 2 annual and Vac Lyme Disease annual.  He also got his nails trimmed and weighs 43.80 pounds.

Thank you for the purrrs! I hope the medicine works!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ :(

So mom found a large bump near the base of my tail, sorta at 11:00 for location.  It's pretty big and she's not sure how she didn't see it until yesterday.  She brushes me a lot 'cause I seem to shed to no end.  She made an appointment but it's going to be a while till I see the vet mom wants to see.  I don't appear to be in pain but she hopes it's just a big old man bump/mass and not the dreaded "C".

Seems weird to have the dreaded "C" since it's by my tail no? It's not an impacted gland as I never had issues with that and it's on top not the bottom.

Purrrs appreciated.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So many know I'm all about water! I love the kitchen tap and lately I've been on the counter more and more demanding fresh water from the kitchen faucet!

I never in my 9 years did this, but the past month or so I'm claiming my alpha status (well, working on that) and have been jumping on the counter more.  When mom prepares meals I know she'll use the faucet so I've been timing it just right that when she's about to use it, I jump on the counter and tada!! I get my water fix!

I love water!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my cold is all done and I used up the extra Clavamox pills we had on standby.  Good timing as they expire this month!

Mom brushed me the other day and she can never get over how much fur she gets off of me when she's done.  I like the slicker brush and mom has to pull the fur off at least 5 times.  Mittens and the other raggies don't really loose a lot of hair, but me and Boogie do.  Fido doesn't shed much.

Mom says my fur could knit a sweater at the rate I loose hair when I get brushed!]]></content:encoded>

I've been sleeping a lot trying to fight off my cold.  Mom got her flu shot last week so hopefully we can keep the household healthy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So a week ago grandpaw had to use the drill to open our door that goes from the garage into our kitchen.  We had changed the locks for personal reasons and grandpaw shut the door and didn't realize it was still locked!!! (It's one of those that will open from the inside, and still be locked from the outside).

It scared me to death when he started to drill the lock!!! So much that mom later that night saw about 10 small bloody dots on her comforter.  Mom noticed my left back paw was a bit bloody.  It looked like my middle nail tore off a bit but I wouldn't let them touch it.  Mom thinks my nail got caught when I tried to run from the drill noise.  

I'm not telling.  I do have a bit of dry litter stuck to my paw but for the life of me, I won't let mom touch it.  I'm not limping and appear to be fine but mom doesn't want to upset me.  I do know she'll try and investigate further if I don't cooperate.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The highlight of mom's day (other than getting out of the house) was attending a tupperwear party.  It wasn't one of those attend a hostess' party at someone's house.  It was a bi monthly meeting, where guests (mom) and the sellers can win stuff!

Since mom was a guest, she got 4 plates, and a few small goodies.  But at the end, guests go into a room, hear a short speech about how this woman went from the CIA to doing Tupperwear and making more.

They also did the last raffle.  Mom won one of the 3! She won a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and I mean, HUGE, bag of goodies.  That put a much needed smile on her face.

Mom went with our neighbor Vangie and she had fun.  It's good for mom to get out considering.  Thanks again for the purrrs and comments on our diaries.  As mentioned, we haven't been around much but think about our friends daily.  The catster community is just amazing.]]></content:encoded>

We haven't had rain in a while so mom turned on the sprinkler and I watched from the storm door (which I know mom had installed just for ME).

It's torture I tell you!! Seeing mom waste the water on the GRASS!! It should be dripping endlessly into my dry, parched mouth! Ok, sure we have our own water, but this water looks yummier!

What a waste...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 568 cats including me celebrate their birthday today!!! 8 years ago I came home and while everyone calls me "Geezer" (mind you, Boogie is only a few months younger!) I'm still kickin' it :)

I'm mom's first cat.  Dad picked me out at PetSmart as they were having the Rescue Team, "Fancy Cats" of Herndon, VA show off all the pets who needed homes.

My pawrents had just moved to VA a few days ago and wanted to get acquainted with the new neighborhood and stopped by PetSmart :) I'm glad they did!!!

My pawrents got me a cool Sock Monkey Bed but Fido is hogging it.  Tis ok, I might do retail damage later as I love to shop and often keep mom company while she does that too! :) Concats to Boogie for his DDP honor too.

Thanks for the pawmails and come on over and enjoy the HUGE CAKE Colleen, one of my first Catster pals, sent me!!

UPDATED: Thanks for the pawmails everyone! I'd like to thank the following cats too:

-Colleen for the HUGE cake! I licked the pink frosting!
-Mocha for the yummy cupcake
-Pansy for the Birthday Hat (I look good in blue)
-Murrman for the spiffy Hat
-Albus and family (best headmaster!!!) for the hat
-Beepers for the ladybug! ooooooooo
-Karisma for the baseball (I own a pink NY Yankees cap!)
-Smiley Cassanova for the pretty USA Flag
-My in-laws Tessa and family for the baseball (They too love the Yankees)
-Teebo and family the yummy PINK Shrimp
-Big Harry and family for the Shrimpie
-My family for the Emerald which is my Birthstone :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my 9th Birthday is May 25!! But apparently my birthday gift came super early so mom decided to let me open it.

OF COURSE, my siblings had a test drive before me 'cause I'm not spoiled and have to investigate things ASAP like ALL my siblings.  Heck, even the dog wanted to test drive my gift but mom said, "NOOOOOOOO" 'cause he's so big and would stretch it out :)

I got a Sock Monkey bed!!! Ooooooo! Mom has a weakness for buying pet beds.  She can't "help it".  :) Once they all tried it out, mom scooped me up and put me in it.  I ran of course! But a few minutes later I tried it out and I quite like it!

I have an old bed, the "Hondo bed" that my nephew and nieces got me for Catmas about 4 years ago.  It looks like me but the twins steal it.  So now I'm claiming this as MINE.  Check out my picture!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I think I'm getting a kitty cold as I'm sniffling.  Mom said all of us cats are driving her nuts!! Sick, tons of vet visits, and Tiski needs a blood panel as he has to see the Cardiologist again for a 9 month recheck.  Those are pricey $600 visits.

I hope to get Clavamox 'cause while I sneeze all the time in general, I sounds stuffy and snotty.  

On the plus side, Boogie is looking better so that's good.  Mom was worried after he finished the meds, but it seems to have worked ::knock on wood::

Mittens is also going in for a recheck with the GOOD vet.

Mom will be turning gray like me at this rate MOL :)]]></content:encoded>

So while there was a waiting list, mom stood in line, patiently waiting.  Well MY portrait and Fido's are done! She's almost done with Porkers, Mittens, and yes, even the doggy Ethan!

Speaking of... I'm going to post a picture of him SLEEPING and resting his head on my bum!! I don't mind the dog, I sorta like him :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thursday at 2pm I'm going to the VET with (of all siblings) Ethan.  I'm going in for my monthly re-check.  So far I haven't had an accident! Mom is loving the Dr. Elsy's litter (no dust!!) and she thinks the combo of the new boxes, litter, feliway, AND my herbs are helping.  Again, she wishes she knew WHAT one was the biggest help but oh well.

Mom is also going to ask WHAT is in the herbs that make my coat no longer dandruffy/greasy! Unlike Boogie, I HATE HATE HATE baths! But I needed one each year as my back got all greasy and my dander is BIG BIG chunks.  That's something the Holistic vet noticed.  Since the herbs? My coat is NO longer greasy, and the dander is gone! PLUS my bad mistakes are gone? *knock on wood*

Ethan goes in for a nail clipping.  Mom tries to cut his black nails but is afraid of cutting his quick.  When she cuts his nails, she takes of like .00000000000000001 off MOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowsas! Mom was about to shut off the computer when she saw she had an email from Catster on her phone.  I can't type well on the iphone and prefer the keyboard if you will :)

Unlike my siblings, I don't get honored as much 'cause I'm a shy, quiet cat.  I'm happy to report *knock on wood* that my belly, "oopsies" haven't showed up so again, mom's hoping my herbs, HB Three Seeds Combo 300, continue to work until my followup in a few weeks.

Enough chit chat, I'm going to get pampered!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow!

Many many thank meows to my friends with their valuable feedback!!!

Mom admits she was very skeptical when the lady vet specialized in holistic, herbal treatment before medicine (she would obviously if need be!).  Like we said, it is worth a try!

So far I haven't poo'ed on the floor, but my poo's are still a bit smooshy and not 100% firm so I'm on Metronidazole liq 100/ml 2x a day until gone.  I'm still on my herbal pills 2x a day too.

Since then we have bought the 40 lb Precious Cat clumping litter (that odorless cat attract Dr. what's-his-face's name, blue bag), 2 GIGANTIC non covered boxes that have HIGH sides, and a Litter Locker II Hygenic Soiled Litter Disposal System that's coming tomorrow via amazon, mom's favorite place to shop.

Dad ('cause mom doesn't like litter duty) is going to use Nature's Cure (that red/white bottle) to clean the Litter Robots and to eliminate any prior smells in the coming days.  Mom just can't bring herself to get rid of working robots (she hasn't scooped in 5 years with those!!).  She might just use 1 'cause there are 6 of us.

I suppose it's better that I poo and don't Ur-in-eight on the floor but poo'in CLOSE to the box isn't good either. To think, this all started after my first and only UTI... I know mom is still a bit sad, and she really didn't want to have to spend so much trying to alter things but I know she loves me... Even though she was really REALLY upset the other day, she loves me.  I do feel bad though and hope this stuff works.

BIG MEOW OUT to Albus for all his help!! He too has a holistic vet and they live near us!!! If this doesn't work (I have a follow up appointment in a month) mom is bringing a list of the meds Albus' is on to get feedback and maybe some of the same herbs!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So last night mom saw a small stinky on the floor OUTSIDE the box and a small pile of soft stinky by the small stinky.  Then 20 minutes later I yacked up yellow fluid, and then 2 hours later another TINY stinky on the floor...

Ever since I had my UTI 3-4 years ago, I on occasion associate the pain with the box.  Our usual vet wasn't in so we saw another vet, Dr. Hoffman.  She is a believer in holistic medicine and said my food, Blue Buffalo is a great food, but there's no medicine to cure my issue.

Mom knew that and they talked about Feliway, more boxes, odorless litter, etc.,

So I'm on: HB Three Seeds Combo 300.  My stool checked out fine like it does every year, and if I'm still having soft stinkies by Thurs/Fri, she'll prescribe something else.

We shall see... I'm also going to check out a store she recommended that sells a lot of holistic foods (probably the stuff Boogie gets from Murrman).  She said see if they can recommend a food that has even less Carbs.  She seemed nice, and mom and dad feel that since there's no cure for my oopsies, it's worth a try.  It's a hard thing to "cure" as mom has read.

She also suggested replacing boxes every 2 years but I don't think she knows much about Litter Robots as mom's not spending another $600 for my divo ways!!! Mom was in tears yesterday as she hates that I do this... Any suggestions would be appreciated.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom is very sad that she can't find the stray :( KY had BAD wind gusts and now we're getting them so mom is even MORE upset she can't find the cat.  He must be COLD!!!

Mom said he's a SOLID gray (not a tabby stripped gray like me) and has a white chest like me, but no white paws.

Mom said 2 nights ago the food was eaten, but this morning when she checked the food didn't look any different :( She KNOWS the cat isn't our neighbors and worries about the guy.

In our backyard we have a mini conservation and there's a lot of trees.  We hope the lil' guy found a place there to get warm as it's lower.  If mom catches him, we'll lock him in our basement bathroom or something and take him to the vet.  Keep your paws crossed! Mom hates thinking of the lil' guy as he was "cute".  Now she knows how you all feel when your human finds a stray on their porch/deck! Mom is still shocked!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So today we all got a package from one of our first friends on Catster.  The family of Snowmitts, Biscotti, etc.,

Biscotti is the litter mate to my twin brothers!

Since I'm the oldest I'm doing a diary :) 

Inside was a bunch of goodies! Did you know, orange is the new pink according to Elle Woods? She's right! I look good in pink and I certainly look good in orange and gray stripes since I'm gray!

In addition to the shirt, auntie Barb made us a red/green blanket! Boogie has claimed it as his (for now) but it's beautiful! We also got a bag of Party Mix, 2 Appetizer treats, 3 blue toys, a Santa toy and mom got 3 k-cups for her Keurig, a pair of Santa socks, a silver cat frame ornament that mom plans on putting Boogie's picture in it since it has green Swarovski crystals, and this cool gray tabby (looks like meeeeeeeeeee!) decoration that is on our mantle.  For it's legs there's fishies that dangle :) Thank you so much guys for making our Catmas special!

Pics to be posted soon!]]></content:encoded>

He's not so bad really.  He often will sleep next to me but then he stretches out and then gets up in my face.  Ewwwww.

I can't believe Catmas is just around the corner! Mom and dad put up our lawn decorations and lights on our deck and garage.  Later today they'll put up the rest of the lights on our porch.

It's about 5 days early but dad works Thanksgiving weekend so better to do it while it's semi warm outside!]]></content:encoded>

I can't meow exact details as he does read my diary from time to time but I'm glad mom consulted me prior to shopping this time!  I hate when she makes decisions without me! I'm a divo!]]></content:encoded>

Well mom was, what she THOUGHT, moving things to "most contacted" and next thing she knew ALL BUT TWO contacts were remaining!

Mom said many many bad words and now she is writing a list of people she has to call/text/contact on FB and Catster for their info again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So the drinkwell 360's we had for over 1.5 years have been replaced.  In addition to getting 2 new ones, they now have a refillable 360 filter! Gone are the days were we had to buy a 3pk refill for $10 2x a month! We bought two of the new refillable ones and all you gotta do is change the carbon inside! Much more efficient and less waste and cheaper in the long run.

Oh how I love water!

Speaking of.  Mom got mad at me.  Dad had brought mom a glass of water and mom was finishing a few things.  She went to sip her water and I FORCED my way and stuck my paw in her glass of water :) My bad! I just like fresh, filtered water! I'm a divo! Can't help it! What I want, and when I want it?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My newest comfy spot is on the dinning table.  Yeah, you're right, I do leave a few of my precious gray hairs behind, but what can you do?

I've been keeping grandpaw on his toes as he spends a lot of time in the basement which is where he sleeps.  So because we both share a geezer bond, (mom says this), I naturally want to be with him so I race downstairs before he shuts the door.  Sometimes I am successful but most of the time, he's faster than me!

I know my catster page is showing my bday page from 3 months ago! Oh the shame...

Well, nap time awaits me!]]></content:encoded>

I see... SUSHI available in the gifts!!! I remember how they had this years ago! Ok, so it's been 3, but who's counting :)

Speaking of, mom wants her California Roll, sans avacado.  But the good Sushi place is 10 min from here.  Plus the parking lot is always busy!

Maybe mom will make her canned tuna/cucumber sushi roll sometime.  Problem is, it doesn't "taste as good" as restaurants she says...

Also, a side note.  I just realized I haven't done a diary since my 8th birthday 2 months ago!! My secretary is FIRED!! Always giving Boogie love... I might have to call Princess!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Perhaps it's because it was semi Pink? Mom was eating some Raspberry ice cream and she turned away for a second to pet Ethan.  Next thing, I was licking her ice cream! What can I say? It was pink! Free reign!

Tiskers also had a nibble but he only licked the bowl when mom left to let Ethan out.

Perhaps we should blame Ethan? :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sheesh! We really need a new secretary! When our newmies had gone wild and with my mild dehydration mom got her fur in a panic and was watching us like a hawk.

This of course resulted in our diaries to lack.  Poor Fido, 2 months with no love.  Tiskers a month of no diary love.

YET...

How come Boogie gets love no matter the family emergency?!?! He's so spoiled... Gets to shower with mom when ever he sounds stuffy... Gets picked up when he jumps on the dinning table in hopes to get lovies (which he gets).  Yet I'm the one who makes their bed warm as I like laying on their bed.  I'm the one who protects our pad!!

Hmph is the word in my family today!

I do believe my newmies are better... When I had a UTI 3 years ago, I peed outside the box.  This time with runny newmies, pooed outside the box.  And since my meds, nothing! :)

Mom just can't monitor our newmies all the time with our litter robot and all... Although dad said there's more hard newmies in the past day as he checked the robot's newmie collection.  He said when I was really ill, there weren't many hard newmies...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I may be a divo but add party pooper to my list!

Ethan is 1 years old today but why would I let him have the spot light?

Last night I threw up and had my first of 4 bouts of runny poooos :( 3 more times today and mom was able to get me a Vet appointment even though he was booked :) I love my Vet Dr. Cather!

I'm 16 pounds and I had a tiny fever (half degree higher than normal 102.5).  I had my LI Diagnostic profile done (blood work) and a fecal sample.  All came back good.  So no need for antibiotics!

I did get some Sub Q fluids as I was a bit dehydrated and I have 2ml 1x a day of Florentero Paste for my runny's.  Oh and the vet embarrassed me.... I'm "gassy". MOL!!

Thanks for the purrrs on FB!]]></content:encoded>

So mom is taking a chance and ordered her bottle online.  The nice thing is that the bottle is refillable so if the scent is stinky like Boogie? She can put other stuff in there :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOW! Thought you'd never see me in clothes other than in the color pink huh? :)

I'm rockin' the stripe polo as we just got a huge box from Cocoa and family for Catmas 2010! We all for Catmas get to share the pretty stripe Polo shirt 24 months that I'm wearing(we're big), a HUGEEEEEEEE blue bag of Party Mix, 2 green mousies, a red mousie, silver glitter mousie, blue glitter ball (Porkers' fav), a Santa man toy on a string, a potent catnip snowman, a red lil' grinch like bear, a tub of Appetizers from Fancy Feast and mom got 2 ornaments (lil' cute candy looking ornament and a pretty pink doggy poodle) a candy can for mom and a lil' K-cup thing for a gift mom bought Dad (can't say as he sometimes reads my diary).

Mom had to have daddy put the shirt on 'cause she's not too good clothing us (which is another reason mom shouldn't have kids, can you imagine her trying to put booties on a kid?!?)

Thank you oh so much guys!! We love everything!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup!! Mom is done done DONE shopping for Catmas! She said she needs to get something for US, but other than that she is finished shopping!

WOW!

She did hers online last night and tonight.  Some good sales online and many with no shipping!!! Amazon, our favorite place, has no tax too so it's a win-win!

Since we know daddy doesn't read our diaries, we can safely say we bought him a new bike seat, a Keurig B60 and a UFC shirt! Funny story about the shirt.  We ordered dad an XL black GSP shirt.  We got an XXL WHITE Barock Lesner shirt! Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So when mom called the first lady was confoosed... Mom hung up and tried again and talked with a new lady.  The new lady said, "Keep the wrong shirt, we're sending out a NEW one, the correct one AND we're crediting your credit card".  WOW! So in essence dad got 2 shirts for the price of shipping one way!!!!!!!!!!!! 

SCORE! 

See, I'm a great shopper!]]></content:encoded>

Ethan our UGLY UGLY Kitty got to play with his buddy "Buster" yesterday as his humans were in DC for a Food Expo.  He's on his bestest behavior now as tomorrow the fence peeps are coming.  We just moved in our new house in May, and with new construction there wasn't a fence prior to us moving in.  He better behave or NO fence.  Why? 'Cause I'm in charge of shoppin' in this house :)]]></content:encoded>

I should be a wedding planner.  I mean, seriously, I honestly help mom make decisions when it comes to shopping online.  I sit next to her and tell her yes or no.

I helped her pick out some Harry Potter things last night.  Too bad we didn't live near FL 'cause mom would be at the HP theme park 24/7 and buying tons of stuff!

They thought about going to the UK or Orlando for the HP stuff but she's thinking if they did FL, they'd HAVE to drive to accommodate all the stuff mom would buy!!!

We also got Laxatone as we couldn't find Petramalt for our hairballs.  Fido and Mittens seem to be holding back the ones in their system so mom said we needed something in addition to our RC Hairball food.

I'm just trying to recover from the embarrassment from the photoshoot!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Aside from mom SOMEHOW bringing our catnip plant back to life, I did notice we received some new nom noms.  These nom noms came from Smudge and her family from the UK!! They sent mom and dad a "New Home" card along with cat treats for us!

So far we've only tried the duck strips! Those were delish! There are 2 more kinds of imported food, but mom can't remember the names of them.  She's too lazy to go down stairs and check. Thanks Smudge and fam!!!

The weather has been hot here and mom is staying cool and trying to keep our new grass seed stuff moist and alive.  We do have germination and that's a huge thing in our home.  Remember mom does kill catnip plants and cactus'. 

Ok time to get my zzzzzzzzzz's on.  Dad is back on nights so mom is alone tonight.  Just her and us furrry ones :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOW :(

So mom and dad went to a craw-fish get together at our friend's house.  Mom left a little before 2pm and the last time she was in the Master Bathroom/Linen closet was after she dried her hair and put away the hairdryer.

They get home around 6, and then 10pm rolls around.  My moist-food-eating brothers get it, and normally I come down for my treats.  I didn't.

So mom was like, "Where's Hondo? Have you seen him?"

They start looking, mom goes into the bathroom, hears a faint, "mewww" and looks in the cabinets.  NOTHING.  Then she hears "mew" and she opens the bathroom linen closet.  

I WAS IN THERE!! LET ME OUT!]]></content:encoded>

I got some friend requests, nice pawmails, comments and rosettes from my friends! And that's STILL not all!

I got this honor today which is 8/9/10  MOL Cool no?

Thanks for making a pink lovin' guy feel so special! Tomorrow Grandpaw flies in for 10 days! I can hardly wait! He says I'm so handsome :) And he knows that I have a sweet spot for treats (I only eat about 3 brands of moist, I'm picky and a Divo) so he always gives me extra :) Don't tell mom!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want the world to know, that I'm no longer a HUGE HUGE scaredy cat!! I'm coming out and visiting people more (except the two kids that come by).  In fact, I'm even MORE social with my pawrents!!!

Like when we were in the apartment I'd spend most of my evening time in or on the human's bed while the others chillaxed on the sofa's, floor, etc.,

But now? I'm out and about more!!! Sure if I hear the door bell ring, I'll go "POOF" GONE!!! But for the most part, I like to bird watch on the main level.

Grandpaw is coming on Tuesday for 10 days.  I wonder if he'll notice the change! Who says old cats can't learn new tricks :) I may be a geezer, but I'm a spunky, full of energy geezer!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom and Murrman in NY have been meowing about Epoxy paint for one's garage floor.  We can seal it now I think, but any treatment has to cure for a while longer...

Dude, Murrman's floor is PAWSOME! I told mom she should paint it pink with diamonds!! She said, "I wish".  I said, "DO IT!"

Today while dad was working out, mom was reading downstairs in our basement.  It's shut 'cause the twins will eat the monster cables.  So they let me down there and I was in HEAVEN! I love it down there! More than the other two floors! I had a great view outside too! I wish they'd let me in there more often.  Dang twins :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mmmmmmmmmm

Lovin fresh water from my new Drinkwell 360.  A few suggested via email or comments on our diaries that mom should have asked for a refund/replacement since our 360 stainless steel one bit the dust.  FYI? Mom BROKE IT ON PURPOSE as she was mad at it and just pulled the 3 black leg thingies off.  She was getting mad at it and just tossed it in the trash...

So now we have the regular 360 plastic, aka much easier to clean, no hard water spots, and looks nicer.

Mom's crazy yeah....

Mom's also so crazy that our catnip plant I think is OFFICIALLY dead.  She thought it was coming back but it's dead.  Will take a picture of that later.  She owes me a catnip plant now too!!!]]></content:encoded>

Mom was trying to take off 1 of the 3 black leg/holder thingies and she got so impatient, she bent it.  Naturally it broke.  Mom didn't like the SS one, but she loves the plastic one.

So since she broke it, she had to order me another that'll be here tomorrow :)

Mom is impatient, and if things don't work, she'll toss them.  Silly mom!! I'm not complaining 'cause now I have a new one (Our SS drinkwell was 2 months old).  MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Is Murray in NY going to paint our cat room with a cat murrrrial?

I'm still hoping mom paints it pink.  She said she might paint our room the same color as the guest bathroom and then the mother of one of Dad's co-worker will do a cat murrrrial on the wall.  Mom is game for that idea, but naturally I'm not...

I would approve if mom put some cat boarder on the walls but then mom said "NO!! NO WALL PAPER OR BOARDER PAPER!!!"

What's a divo to do?

I've been more social since we moved and I'm hoping I get on mom's extra good side in hopes we paint the room pink :)]]></content:encoded>

So I won't be buying Dr. Elsey's litter that's fo sho!!!

Mom painted our spare bedroom in the basement... Well, at least what a person who's 5'3" could reach MOL!!! Dad has to do the tall work as the ceiling is 9 feet and mom is afraid of ladders.  Not the black cat ladder issue, but she has no sense of balance!

I hope mom paints our cat room pink :)]]></content:encoded>

I, along with others, think the "Community" button should be first.  Oh well...

Not as bad as many cats said during our move so maybe they ironed out some of the hairballs?

I'm lovin' watching the birdies outside! I'm not digging the flies that have come inside during the move but my brothers have killed them :) *ewwwwwwww*

I also wanna give a meow out to my bestie Angel Kashmere as she sent me a fabulous and sweet Bday card :) I miss her very much :(

I just stare at them and hope that they don't expect me to eat them 'cause I WON'T!

533 other cats celebrate their birthday today too so I wish them the bestest birthday and many more!!

Thank you for making my birthday special!!!! Mom hasn't had time to find me a cake or cupcake but that's ok.  I'm loving my new house and as long as the pink Hondo Condo is there, I'm all set!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I've been helping mom with address changes (which btw, take a LONG time) and are in the midst of finalizing a washer and dryer.  I told her, "Mom, you're short at 5'3", you need a front loader".  I'm good like that...

I also said "Mom, get ADT 'cause I said so".  I'm such an enabler and shopper savy!!

However, I do not know what I will do without the internet!!! At night me and mom like to shop online and look at things.  I might have to take up a new hobby other than bugging my brothers...

We'll be back late May with the net.  I'm looking forward to seeing Grandpaw 'cause he always gives me extra rubs :)]]></content:encoded>

I had a major spa day that's fur sure! Bath, my butt glands expressed, ear cleaning, nail trim, AND I even got a stylish bandanna to wear!!

First thing I did when I got home was had some pounce treats and then ate some dry food! I was hungry as I had to fast in case they had to sedate me.  Thankfully they didn't!!

Ok, time to chillax' and see what mom and dad bought.  After they dropped me off, they went to the bank, LL Bean, Target, Costco, lunch, Bed Bath and Beyond and they still knead to get groceries!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Till I head to the V-E-T to get a B-A-T-H!!!! A few of you asked "WHY?!?!?" TRUST ME! I don't want one!!!

I have to get a bath once a year due to my really bad dandruff near my bum and lower back.  I've tried allergy meds, fish oil tablets, etc., and the only thing that works is a bath... So instead of my dad getting mauled to death, I may get sedated by my vet while the B-A-T-H occurs...

I knead to fast 12 hours prior to my torture too!!! 

Boogie will also knead to fast 'cause if I knead to? EVERYONE does and Boogie might loose an ounce or two!!

I got some extra Party Mix to celebrate my honor.

Thank you everyone for your kind pawmails and rosettes concatulating me on my honor! I'm going to spend the rest of the day staying cool as it's almost 90 out today.  Tomorrow it'll be in the low 90's and thankfully the storm later this week will cool things down a bit... I get frizzy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom is still waiting to hear the exact date for closing (the OFFICIAL word) and she spoke w/ our loan guy and he said as of today, rates are 5.75%!! YIKES!!! See, I'm a good shopper, and I told mom, "LOCK NOW", and she did and managed to get 5.25%.  Crazy how rates shot up from 2 weeks ago! Granted they fluctuate, but mom has been watching the bonds/stocks so she knew when to lock.  Still a gamble!

Moral of the story, if I say, "BUY IT!" do it!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ With my pawrents being busy packing, they forgot to schedule an appointment for my bath... MWHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm hoping they forget, but mom is so organized and O.C. that I am certain she didn't forget... 

Not much new here other than watching my pawrents pack for 2 weeks straight.  They've thrown out BUNDLES of stuff but then manage to come home with new stuff... Mom's excited to toss all her pots/pans/knives/plates/glasses/utensils in the kitchen as she bought all new stuff.  

I'm a bit annoyed that my pink Hondo bed and the "Hondo bed" Allie's family gave us a few years ago are packed... Apparently they were used to "cushion" things... HMPH!

It's not easy being me!]]></content:encoded>

Mom said she won't be fixing my page until the new Catster/page layout is revealed in the coming week.... *pouts*

So what's a dude to do? I helped mom shop online the past few days as she wanted to buy a new living and bedroom set.  We're moving our current stuff in the guest and basement rec room, and the furniture dudes are keeping our stuff so they'll deliver for us when we move.  I'm like a cat in the nip store!!! 3 major deliveries are in the works! Mom's piano she bought in Dec, furniture store, and eventually the washer/dryer dudes!! I can hardly wait! I love shopping!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So originally my pawsome PINK HONDO CONDO was going in our living room nesseled between 2 big windows in our future home...

HOWEVER... Mittens and Boogie DO NOT know how to get down safely on the condo.... Often they'll jump down from the lowest of the 3 levels.  The condo is about 6-7 feet tall I think? 

So mom is worried on a wood floor they'll jam their shoulders or get hurt... So I was told it's going in the cat room, on carpeted floor by ONE window.. Fine... It'll do...

I soooooooooooooooo wanted my pink condo in the living main room :( Unless mom gets confurmation from other cats that it's ok for a cat to jump 6 feet down with 20 pounds of muscle on a wood floor, I have pink failure...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowsas I haven't written in my diary in a long time! I've been busy helping mom shop and how sweet of Pansy to give me a stash of gold coins to help mom shop with!

Mom woke up not to long ago so I pointed out that the water fountains kneaded refilling.  I'm all about the water and COLD water that comes out of the fridge.  We used to have a britta pitcher but mom bought the PUR filters and since then I've drank even MORE water.  It tastes better...

I'm also happy that daddy is off this weekend and on nights! We're all night owls especially mom.  Only problem is that the stores all close around 9-10pm... Makes things hard when mom wakes up at 3-4pm when dad's on nights.  NYC has it goin', open 24/7!]]></content:encoded>

What prompted this madness was we had some cat yack on some blankets! Now mom is going to put them away until we move!

EXCUSE ME?!?! Well she did leave 3 others out, along with our catnip mats, but c'mon!! I'm going through HK withdrawal as that blanket is packed away!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, so this past week included many meals out and mom said she kneads to stop that and eat at home or her midsection will get as wide as Boogie's (and we do NOT want that).

She seriously can't wait to move 'cause she will  have tons of space to cook!! Our current kitchen makes mom mad as it's small.  I told her I expect some good cookin' when we move.

I also over heard my mom say that I'm going to get a Spa treatment next month??? Ahem? I'm fine, I don't knead pamperin'!! Oh dear, what is going on... To many changes... *POOF*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today mom pampered herself by getting a facial and then 5 inches of hair cut off! She hasn't gotten her hair cut in over 6 months!! Not on purpose either as she was just busy with things and couldn't find a time to get her hair cut off!

The guy curled her hair and when he was done, mom and daddy got dinner at their favorite place "Cheesecake factory".  Mom got the grilled cheese and daddy got a spicy chicken sandwich.  Dad also had to get some pen refills at the mall.

Now, notice... NO ONE bothered to ask me if I kneaded anything OR if I wanted anything! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY they didn't bring ME shopping!! The nerve! I'm so hurt!

I want some pamperin!]]></content:encoded>

We don't eat raw fish here (tried but nah), but will eat crab, shrimp and tuna fish (canned) mixed w/ Mayo for our sushi :) It's good, seriously!

So I got my sushi fix.  That is my Valentine's treat as I love sushi :) Now if only Catster would bring back the sushi gifties as I miss those!!!

Dad has to figure out dinner tonight... Oh dear... It's been tough as he worked all weekend and today! He can't do reservations as everything's booked, so best of luck to him! :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well mom and dad ordered Chinese last night for dinner as the non perishable food/meals was getting a bit old after a week MOL.  As mentioned before in other diaries, mom and dad left the grocery store as they weren't going to stand in line for an hour minimum for 5 things.

We had already gone grocery shopping 2 weeks prior to the first BIG storm on the East.  Well, we got hit again yesterday and said, "ENOUGH" with soup, pasta, carbs! So after many calls, mom and dad found a place that would deliver Chinese food in this storm! Our snow stopped around 4 and where we live, the crew has been removing snow for HOURS. 

We made sure dad gave him an extra big tip for our small order as the delivery dude went out.  It's not quite sushi, but it's close :)

Yet the banks are closed everywhere today... Hmmmm mom wanted to deposit a few checks as she never got to deposit them prior to the first storm.  Figures the Delivery dude is available but not the banks :) 

Mmmmmmmmmm leftovers are calling me!!!]]></content:encoded>

We're going to get snowed in again :( Mom hasn't been able to send vday cards out for Allie and Tessa yet... Dang snow!

It's as if we live in the midwest or something!!! Mom hasn't seen this much snow since winter of 2001 when mom was in grad school in Cleveland, OH!!

I'm going to snuggle in my Hondo Condo and hope that it stops! Our future neighbor out west (and daddy's co-worker) said that the housing dudes are going like mad to work on our roof!! Good 'cause mom was worried what 4 feet of snow might do to an in-progress roof!! Lots of reports that roofs are collapsing due to the weight of snow!]]></content:encoded>

She's very happy that they're done and hopes that she didn't mess them up! *knock on wood, scratch on condos*.  Purrrsonally I'd like to use the refund to buy a few things, but mom said we must save.

Doesn't she know this divo has a big itch to shop? I know mom does too but she said we must keep saving, saving, saving until we move.

Our foundation on our house is officially done and all the concrete is done as well... UNFORTUNATELY today Mother Nature decided to snow!! ARGH!! Just when our frames were going to start to be assembled... Hisssssssssss]]></content:encoded>

In the meantime it's annoying mom as our house is on hold!! They can't finish the last bit of concrete as the grounds are very wet and messy!! Once they can finish the cement, they will put up the frames and all that jazz w/in days.  Mom is not impressed with Mother Nature.

Us four lick the baby food from the spoon mom feeds us from.  I'm a divo, and don't want food all over my face.  So when I lick, I'm very prim and proper, dainty if you will.  

You should have esen the others... Dang, they inhaled it!

Not much is new here.  Daddy works all weekend so we're chillaxin' with mom.  We might watch a movie later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So dad is on his way to the AT&T store getting mom a new phone: the iPhone :) She's only had her Blackberry Bold for 10 months but is tired of it... Mom would have gone with daddy but her cold FINALLY officially kicked in! Dad still has sniffles! She felt "off" on and off all of last week, but yesterday and definitely today she's officially sick with a mild cold (stuffy/runny nose, cough, no sore throat).

Dad is going to HOPEFULLY find mom a PINK case for her phone too!!! Mom was impressed with the iPhone "Apps" especially after Skeezix wrote about the cat apps the other day on his catster blog.  Mom wants the Simon the cat one, the one where you can store all your cat info (meds, shots, vet info, etc), and a few others.

I'm rootin' for dad not to mess this up MOL I'm curious though what pink case he'll get her!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowsas!! It's not everyday I recognize cats who are diary honors, but I share this day with Orlando Blue, Sampson, Bitta, and my nephew Harry!! WOWSAS!!

I read Sampson's diary and wasn't too happy to hear that we're getting more nasty weather... Sampy's fam lives very close to us... Mom isn't happy as our dirt is scheduled to be dug up this week, and we meet the contractors next week on Wednesday.  I bet that Pansy has something to do with it...

Boogie and Fido have NO idea they're going to the Vet in a few hours! MWHAHAHAHA I'm still mad Boogie ruined my PINK CRATE!!!!!!! hisssssss

Thanks for the concats friends!! I am going to steal mom's credit card this week and buy a few zealies... We're out but I knead some 'cause Fido's bday is soon and Merlin's bday is the day before!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So over the New Year weekend, daddy had to work and managed to do so on the Eve of Mew Years.  Unfortunately he was sick.  While he was home (YAY) he spent the better weekend in bed while mom slept with us on the sofa.  

Yesterday mom felt a bit under the weather and feels a bit "odd" today, but she's not full on sick *scratches on post* so she's drinking lots of fluids. 

Not much is new here... I didn't make any resolutions 'cause I never follow through.  Mom made one to drink more water, but that has already failed MOL.  She doesn't like water like I do *shocked*]]></content:encoded>

Thanks everyone for the concats on my DDP along with my lil' rut brother Porkers!! Like he meowed, save your rosettes as we feel terrible when we're outta them (like now AGAIN) and can't send some in return.  

Not much new today... Daddy will be off for 2 days but works New Years weekend :( And he's on nights this month!!! I will watch movies with mom and help her with facials...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YESSSSSSSSSSS! Hondorace in da houssssssssse!!!

As you may remember, I provided music at Boogie's bday last week! And after I counted the tip $ I decided to chip in and help dad out! You see, mom's catmas gift was a new piano (which is also her Vday/Annifurrsary/and bday gift).  

So today they checked out the sales and purchased a 47" Dark Amer Walnut (the glossy finish) Yamaha piano!! They will be holding it until we move in May at the warehouse in MD, and they'll deliver it for free (and re-tune it 60 days later) :) Weeeeeeeeee I can't wait to help mom practice!!! The lady asked if we thought of a baby grand.  Mom wanted one but she KNEW the raggies would jump on it and she couldn't imagine what our nails might do... *grins*

We don't scratch furniture but some of our tables have a few nail marks *glares at the raggies*.

Hondorace in da housssssssssssssssssse!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh how I sometimes am a 110% divo and don't like to pose for the camera.  Sometimes I have "fat" days and you know how the camera adds 10 ounces!

However, I did pose quickly with the gifts from Cocoa and family!! We got tons of toys in a cute stocking, a nifty door hangin' santa dude, party mix, small green stocking of Porker's dad "Monte", and their mom was nice and sent our mom a Yankee Candle (Christmas cookie) and a pretty Catmas pillow! Mom already told me to "Get off the pillow, it's decorative".  MOL A divo's life is never easy! Thanks guys!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Make this white stuff stop!! 12 inches and counting of snow/ice in our area!!! It's so bad that dad and much of his squad are not driving home (he works today AND tomorrow) but staying in a hotel paid by the county.  Unfortunately he HAS to work, even though the county is closed... Part of his job!

Mom is a little nervous as she has to give Tiskers his pills for the first time... Daddy is the bad pill man.  But Tiski takes them like a champ.

Not much new with me... This being famous hasn't gotten to my head yet, but I did get extra nip out of my 15 minutes of fame :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom hasn't put up Catmas pics.  I'd even let her put up previous years' pics 'cause we all look the same (except Boogie 'cause he's fatter, the twins are darker, and Porkers is darker and bigger).  Fido looks the same, very svelte.

I look the same even though I've put on a few ounces.  I'm a solid 16-17 pounds but I'd like to paw out that I don't have a JIGGLY belly like Boogie.  When I run and walk, my belly doesn't sway back and forth... I'm a divo and I work out!

Boogie's work out consists of him walking to and from the kitchen.  Seriously, I'm looking forward to the new house to be completed.  Seeing him go up and down stairs will do his body good!]]></content:encoded>

Not much is new here.  Dad is back on days this month starting Thursday and he's not too happy.  He prefers night work.  Mom likes when he's on nights too 'cause she's a night owl.

Morgan the Pirate Gato asked me about my pink HONDO CONDO!! I gave him the link! Here's hoping he gets a pink Hondo Condo too :)

Ok, time to groom myself!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Give me some Hondo lovin'!! That's right, it's not often I'm all up in mom and dad's face demanding divo love but tonight was the night!

Dad is home all weekend YAY!! And today has been super cold out, very windy.  So mom and dad were on couch and they each had their own blanket.  Mom also tucked in Boogie and Tiski with a blanket over them.   I decided to get in on the blanket action and jumped up on the sofa and was all up in their face.  I wanted some lovin'! I may not do this very often, but I had to make sure they didn't forget me :)

I did fulfill my black Friday divo-ness by helping mom pick out a standing mixer, new drinkwell 360 (stainless), cleaning kit, a few dvd's, and a new electric griddle.  Yay me and mom got good deals online thanks to me :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom and dad celebrated Daddy's bday a couple days early.  He turns 29 tomorrow the 25th, but he works on his bday! AND Thanksgiving day AND black Friday!!!

Mom and dad were out doing errands yesterday after seeing "New Moon" (which I hear was fab), and since they didn't know what to do for dinner, they both agreed to do something later that night.  Daddy is a meat eatin' machine, so naturally he wanted steak.  He also got some of those onion thingies at Outback "Blooming Onion" as he doesn't get onions often as mom doesn't cook with those!

Daddy's early bday gift was his Trek '10 bike which we bought a few months back.  Too bad it's all rainy and cold as he can't ride in that yuck!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While it's true, I had no paw in helping Fido pick out a gift for his wife Allie (my niece), I did manage to help mom pick out some candles the other day.  Around Catmas it's hard to find Yankee's "Sugared Plums".  So mom went online and FOUND them at the direct store.  They shipped so it's a matter of time till they get here via EVIL Fed Ex (UPS is more reliable for us).

I'm still busy helping mom find things for the house.  Mom told grandpaw for Catmas she doesn't knead anything just give her GC for Lowes/BB/Target if he feels he has to send something.  Grandpaw didn't hear the bit about "Don't knead anything" as he said, "nonsense" MOL

Mom is sticking to her guns about how our pink Hondo Condo is our catmas AND Bday gifts.  Dang, once Fido has his bday in Jan, this bday non sense has gone full circle!

It's worth it though :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While I'm helping mom brain storm for things she wants for when we move, she said for now, we must not shop too much!!! Something about preparing for closing costs and then window treatments.  I guess those are pricey.  I was looking at the floor plan and we have over 24 windows if I counted right.  YIKES.

Not only has my shopping ceased, but we're outta zealies, AGAIN!!! Mom did let me buy $5 worth a few weeks ago but we're down to ONE now... *gah* Fido is all "Our stash better be here for Allie's bday" and they should but it'll be close.  If we didn't have to spend so much $ on feeding BOOGIE AND MITTENS we'd have extra fun money I bet.  When in doubt, blame Boogie... He's urking me too... He wants to paint the cat room BLUE.  I said... PINK!!! Seriously, I was here first and I'm the oldest :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom is writing a list of things she'll have to get for the new house and a list of things she's replacing.  Last night I helped her pick out a kick tail paper towel holder.  We have one now, but like many complain about, it's hard to tear a sheet off with ONE hand.  We found this nice one on Amazon that mom heard about and read about.  On the review page, they have a video and it's fab! So mom listed and said, "Ok, if you say so Hondo". :)

Since our new kitchen will have a billion cabinets in the kitchen (42" aka too high for mom) she'll be getting a spice rack to install inside the door.  Naturally I told her she should do that vs. one on the counter as I have a feeling the raggies and Fido will be on the counter tops since our kitchen is big.  Only Fido and Tiski have that bad habit.  Porkers does on occasion but he listens when mom says, "no".  It'll be interesting to see how BIG Boogers gets as he's ALWAYS in the kitchen when mom cooks! ALWAYS!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooooo my pawrents are FINALLY back from visiting <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/930459"><b> *MONTE AND FAMILY* </a></b>! OMC!! I smell all these smells on their fur and am wondering, is that why they were gone for so long???!!! 

Although the weather was terrible (a LOT of rain and bad drivers), my pawrents left at 6am and returned home at 8:40pm.  

My mom and dad had so much fun!! Mom loved playing with all Auntie's babies and was happy to finally meet Cannoli, Monte and Truffles! Truffles was a bit shy but mom did get to meet everyone :)

They came home with goodies from Auntie and my brothers!! Let's see... There's a big bag of... Biscotti's!!! Guess who picked them out :) Mmmmmmm mom is munching on a few while doing my diary MOL!!! Auntie Barb also gave mom a yummy Yankee Candle "Spiced Pumpkin", "Winter candy Apple" anti-bacterial hand soap from B&BW, a nice big fridge tablet from PetSmart where 50% of the proceeds to go charities, Halloween sockies (mom usually wears WHITE socks, but the colored ones in mom's drawer are from Auntie over the years MOL),  and then WE all got goodies!!!

We got a HUGE bag of goodies: Auntie's famous catnip pillows, mousies, glitter balls, feather toy, 2 Fancy Feast appetizers, PARTY MIx!!!!!, a cute black cat that mom will put up for Halloween, and...

THINGS FROM VEGAS!!!! YES!!!! While Auntie and Rob went to Vegas back in Sept they had bought us and mommy/daddy something too!! Mom gotta pretty rainbow key chain that says Las Vegas, Daddy got a green masculine key chain, and WE got TWO Vegas Tees!!!!

One is dark blue with 2 bears dressed up at Las Vegas (Elvis bear!) and the other is a white T-shirt with the American flag on it saying "Las Vegas".

OMC!! We are so spoiled!!! :) Mom unfortunately won't be able to post pics until late tomorrow as she has an appointment w/ the home guy and then when she gets back from there, she has to TAKE pics :) Bummer, we can't play with our toys until pics... Oh well :) 

They also went to Tony Lukes in Philly! Everyone had the Roast Beef sandwich (dad had the Parmesan platter) and the famous bacon/ranch/fries!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm Dad was happy to go there as he LOVED the fries last time!!!

Mom LOVED meeting everyone, but for some reason, she took a liking to Snowmitts (not a surprise), Biscotti and Monte!! Cannoli was having fun playing with mom too but I think Monte and Biscotti liked mom the most :) 

Thank you Auntie and Unkie and my fellow furry cousins for a fantastic day!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ugh, mom is now realizing it's more complicated than she thought when it comes to picking out the colors for the interior of our future house! 

Mom is definitely going to go light-med for the kitchen.  But now what color cabinets? They'll prob be oak as well as the floor 'cause Brazilian Cherry will be costly.  No granite either but mom said down the road.  

What color appliances?! White? S. Steel? Black? Off white? S. Steel is her first choice but we shall see how fast the cost rises...

I think us cats should be allowed INSIDE, namely ME 'cause I could help mom with these decisions... But noooooooo, cats are NOT allowed.

Sorry mom, you're on your own!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ahhh yes, look at my spiffy page Pansy made! She totally merged the famous quote from "Legally Blond" as mentioned in my diary below...

Sorry we haven't been around much as mom is working w/ lenders and it's a bit more complicated than we expected.  NO ONE ever talks about this stuff so they had no clue!

Mom and dad are approved, FICO is good along w/ debt/credit ratio, just that they're working on closing costs (even though you won't know till THE closing) but for paper work and for the next step, we gotta come to an agreement.

Tomorrow dad will talk to Geoff the guy who is in charge of building our house.  A friend spoke w/ Geoff today (he's at home, not working today) and he said that there's NO WAY the closing costs, even at a "What if" standpoint would be $20k.  He said expect $7-8k TOPS which is great as mom and dad have $10k set aside for that.  The issue is they're doing a VA loan which isn't an issue, but there seems to be more fine print and justification of funds vs. FHA.  They have their down payment which, when using the VA 0% is kneaded so they get their $5k Earnest money back.  But again, it's complicated. 

SO much that Fido will have the same diary as me along w/ my bros to keep everyone in the loop with us.  I swear we're not abducted or anything! 

Fidey is going mad as our pawrents are hogging the computer checking emails, bank stuff, etc.,]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A favorite actress of mine once meowed, 

"And last week I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal, and I talked her out of buying this truly heinous angora sweater. Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed. "

It's the quote from Legally Blond.  So I echo what Elle said, Orange is NOT the new pink!!!

So that being said? I'm NOT going to have a massive Halloween page/outfit this year... I know in the past I have, but I'm just not liking orange on my furrr this year!!! So this orange bib that says "I'm so cute it's spooky" will have to do :)

I'm a divo, I know...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL!!! We just got done w/ our Harry Potter meowathon and at the end, Lancelot asked if I was bonkin' my Vet in my main pic! Indeed I was!

And get this! I think the Vet liked ME more than BOOGIE!! Perhaps it was 'cause Boogie had ruined my pink crate on the way to the vets (and the lil' bit about him wetting his furrr MOL), but he said he really REALLY liked me 'cause he loves cats who like to do head butts!

If you ever meet me, more than likely I'd give you a head butt and I do it HARD! Like I get into it!!

Have a great weekend everyone!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Pawsome! Mom just cleaned our Drinkwell Platinum and 360.  She has to do the daunting task 2x a week as the raggies tend to plug up the black motor with their fur.  When mom takes the motor out for cleaning, she separates that side cap (it's a bit tricky) as there's TONS of raggie fur!

I didn't tell her but I think some of that fur is mine.  I have a bad habit of sticking my head under the running faucet area.  Can't help it! It tastes so good! I know somewhere in my photo album on Catster I have a picture or two of my head getting quite wet from the spout :)

Ok, back to drinking that goodness!! Fresh water! I knead fresh water! (Also been my forum moto since I joined Catster). :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm all back home after going to the Vet with Boogie.  I kneaded my annual as well as Distemper shot (3 year now!!) and Boogie kneaded his Distemper ('cause he has a bad temper IMO).

Leave it to Boogie to embarrass me... Fur the furrrst time he had an accident on the 5 minute trip to the vet.  Dad was driving and mom was in the back w/ Boogs (dang right I called shot gun!) and when they arrived mom goes, "*sniff sniff* DO YOU SMELL THAT?!?!"

*embarrassed* Boogie did a no. 1 in the crate and peed IN MY PINK crate and ON Fido's blanket!!! Fido isn't happy either! 

Anymeow, I have some 3V tablets to hopefully  help my excessive dander by my bum, and the Vet said my chronic eye watering problem isn't an issue it just means that my tear duct isn't draining my tears (they spillith over on my fur).  So I have some Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Dexamethasone Ophthalmic ointment for 10 days and if that doesn't work there's some other things they could do.  The Vet said since I've had this since I came home 5 years ago, it's more than likely I was born with it as well as many others.  It won't hurt me :) 

He was VERY impressed with my head bonking abilities (I'm a bonker) and also how for a 6 year old divo, I have like NO TARTER on my teeth!!! Never had a cleaning :) The other dudes I have to share the house with have tarter (mind you, they're youngin's).

Seriously, a divo NEVER has bad breath or teeth! 

The only embarrassing thing was that my mom said I sometimes get cling-ons (Me and Colleen get 'em) back there so they clipped me.  Our Vet said he can sympathize as one of his cats has the same issue :)

Pics to be posted soon!]]></content:encoded>

The twins, Boogie and Fido love moist.  I only like Tiki, Solid Gold and Sheba otherwise I hate moist.  Porkers won't eat ANY moist.  So when the four get moist, me and Porkers get treats :)

Today we enjoyed the brown bag of Party Mix.  Oh how I love treats!!! But then she forgot she didn't put the vacuum away so as soon as I saw that thing, I ran!!

But not after I got my treats :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom was up wayyyyyyyyyyy to late this morning and didn't get to bed until 10-11am!!! Don't worry, she forced herself out of bed by 4pm.

Anyway, late last night (errrr this morning) mom was reading and playing with Boogs and Tiski when I noticed a big bug!! It was near the balcony by the shades.  Mom saw it too after I started making this lil' hunter/chirp noise.  I'm a great bug finder, but don't expect me to eat or kill it.  Mom didn't know what it was other than BIG! She thought it was either a big BIG ant or an almost dead bee as it wasn't moving fast.  She got the swiffer mop (she's only 5'3" so she's short) and started to whack at the bug.  But it was MIA!

She refused to do anything until she found the bug.  She eventually found it on the bottom part of the window and that's when she killed it.  

Seriously, I wasn't about to help her! NO WAY JOSE'!]]></content:encoded>

In the meantime, my pawrents haven't gotten tickets to IMAX HP yet.  The first 12 minutes are in 3D according to the promo's! I wonder if that means mom gets to wear the swanky red/blue glasses???

I wouldn't be caught dead in that color combo for obvious reasons :)]]></content:encoded>

Grandpaw is flying down August 5 for a week again :) Mom can't wait!!! Maybe she'll wait to see the movie w/ her dad.  He's going to start reading the HP book series! I am most proud of grandpaw :)

Now, if only we could get Daddy to fulfill his promise  he made when he and mom got married (which was over 6 years ago).  He pawmissed to read the series and not just watch the movies MOL!!! He's read the first 5... C'mon dad!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To avoid repeating our diaries furrr-bait-emmmm, the raggies and Boogie talked about the details of Auntie Barb and Rob's visit to our home.

The main thing I wanna report is that I, Hondo, skitty cat compared to my brothers, came out and liked auntie a lot!! I let her pet me and I came out like a big boy! I could sense she was cool... BESIDES, she wore PINK yesterday! That'll win me affection every time!

I'm so ashamed of Fido... He hid the entire time!! Normally that'd be me, but I've grown up a bit :) 

But seriously, she wore PINK, you can't NOT like someone who wears pink!!!]]></content:encoded>

Seriously, she better not sleep in MY condo!!! 

I may  hide behind the sofa, but give or take 15 minutes, and I'll come out and socialize.  After all, I'm a divo, they should be so lucky to see me in the flesh and fur!!! I normally charge furr special appearances :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, what Porkers said in his diary about me ratting on him is TRUE!!! Porkers has in the past 36 hours figured out how to sepurrate the drinkwell 360 pluggies (the two sections that, when plugged in, create bubblies and water flow).  I AM NOT AMUSED!

I love water! It's my catster moto in fact and has been since day one! But Porkers prevents me from getting my FRESH WATER!!

Mom doesn't want to tape the ends together 'cause it'll get nasty and sticky.  Bad enough we gotta tape our cords to the wall to prevent the twins from eating them!

Besides, I'm tired of running to mom and complaining, "MOooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Porkers did it again"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooo Boogie is all mad 'cause mom forgot it was our 3 year Catster annifurrsary yesterday the 15th.  He's all mad 'cause he didn't get to eat his cake...

I'm just happy that I have 3 PINK CANDLES on my PINK CAKE and I will eat the cake while on my fabulous PINK CONDO!!

Many of you's said that there's room for MORE cats.  MOL! Don't put any ideas in mom's head!

The next cat is going to be a long haired Orangie like Lancelot or Titch from the UK.  Mom hasn't seen any yet.  

*thinks to himself, "GOOD" I don't wanna share my PINK CONDO with an orange cat* Am I right? Orange and PINK do NOT match!!!]]></content:encoded>

So at 4pm they woke up.  Took about 30 min to put together (all assembled just had to do some twists and turns).

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tall that dad had to get on a stool to screw the last part in (and he's 6'1").

HAGERSTOWN, MD

Oooooooooooo so close!! It's coming in 2 shipments.  One is 40 pounds, the other 100 pounds MOL!!! The FedEx guy better not be lazy and say we weren't "home" 'cause dad will be on high alert waiting for the man in purple, aka the evil one in our area.  The man in brown never fails us :)

In the meantime, we're excited for tomorrow as HP is premiering at MIDNIGHT! AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I suppose my mini half bath wasn't SO bad... My furr is much softer and silkier and my dandruff? WHAT dandruff? I don't see such a thing anymore :)

When I get furminated, it's as if we have gained another cat 'cause I shed so much!!! You'd think the raggies would too considering the amount of fur... But they don't!!!! I think it's 'cause Fido licks the furr off, hence the hairballs!

I don't groom my brothers often, as it's all about me!! I groom myself though 'cause I'm a divo! Oh that rhymed!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

That's what I said over and over!!! It lasted 3 min as mom only did my torso down to my bum 'cause I was scratching the meow out of Dad (will post pics of his destroyed t-shirt).  And yes, my nails were trimmed last week!

Oh I hate baths.  I know I knead one once a year for my skin issues on my bum tail area.  Mom is certain she got the soap out but not so certain that she got a good scrub into my skin/fur.  Doesn't matter, now as a few of you said in my last diary comments, my soon-to-be Hondo Condo won't have cooties in it!!

Seriously, I'm a divo! Purrhaps if I got a bath at a spa like Samoa I might like it more? Or maybe I'll have Mercy's mom give me one as Mercy's baths result in highlights!!!]]></content:encoded>

So when we called 2 weeks ago and the shipment came in? They were short some carpet and the 2nd shipment just came in.

We should have it SOON, hopefully it'll ship by next week *crosses paws*

In the  meantime, doomsday is coming... My bath is happening on Tuesday.... Woe is me!! My bum is getting all dandruffy, and I gotta use the shampoo the vet gave us :(]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Where in the world is my PINK CONDO!!! Mom will call them a billion times on Monday to inquire about it's whereabouts.  I say a million 'cause they don't reply to emails and when we leave a phone message we don't get calls back.

Regardless they're a small company, you'd think the $ we're paying when we could have bought a cheaper one would have better customer service.  We paid paypal as that was the only option.  Worse case if it's not in our place in 45 days we're filing a report.

I'm a divo and want it NOW! Last week they were expecting the carpet as it was special order.  I understand but at least pick up your phone/email.  So much for helping the economy! :)]]></content:encoded>

I am especially happy that I have my pawsome dad 'cause he's the one who told mom I could get my PINK HONDO CONDO!!!!! I still don't have it, but they just got the carpet in last week as it was on special order.

Dad also has a pink tie and a pink dress shirt! So he and I both are manly enough to sport pink :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I still can't wait for this mother of all condo's comes! Like seriously, I can't wait!! Mom is curious how the UPS dude will lift 150 pounds (even if it is in multiple boxes).  A couple years ago we got the Bowflex weight system.  The ones where it's technically ONE set of bars, but you can click the outside to adjust the weight, thus making the system very compact.

The UPS dude looked TIRED from bringing those to our door MOL!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC OMC OMC!!! Mom told dad it's up to him to decide what condo to get!!! Mom reminded dad that we bought our old condo December 2006.  We have 3 large furniture/condos and 2 scratching posts.

Well December 2008 Boogie wanted a condo for his bday 'cause ours had seen better days.  Did he get one? NO!!! :)

Mercy said they bought from the same company (the NEW one that's coming) and theirs is going on 6 years.  So dad did the math.    If we bought the same one from Dr. Fosters, we would pay the same vs. the pink one... We would come out even in about 6 years...

So... Without further ado... Say goodbye to our <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3261+10345+15099&pcatid=15099"><b> *OLD RED CONDO THAT FELL APPART* </a></b> and hello to our <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.playtimeworkshop.com/park_place.htm#"><b> *NEW PINK AND FABULOUS* </a></b> condo! 

We're getting a PINK ONE!!!!! OMC OMC OMC!!! This will be all of our bday presents until further notice, our Catmas 2009 gifts, etc., etc.,

It'll be here in about 10 days or so if memory serves right at checkout.

THANK YOU MERCY, HARRY, AND ENABLER PANSY for helping me shop! I have shopped and now I have dropped!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOW! We just got on about 30 minutes ago.  I was going through some serious internet withdrawal.  I wanted to look for a scratching post (pink to be exact!) but of course, we got carpet on my bday.  All we have left is the Master bedroom tomorrow!

While I get my party on, dad is unpacking things.  It's going to be a LONG night as we still gotta pack up 2 book shelves of books! We had 3 shelves filled with cd's and books in the living room, and that took 12 boxes!

I'd like to thank Pansy furr throwing me a KICK TAIL PINK SUSHI LOVIN' PARTY!! OMC!! I was floored!

I loved how Sawyer was the litter attendant MOL!! Boogitsu is my personal chef.

I'll have to thank everyone who stopped at my party either LATE LATE tonight or tomorrow.  I'll also be thanking those who wished me a pawsome bday and/or gave a gifty.

We have a LONG night ahead of us guys!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's offically my 6th PINK SUSHI FABULOUS birthday on the East Coast (May 25).

5 years ago today I was adopted from Fancy Cats Rescue (same place Boogie was rescued too).

Mom remembers the day as if it was yesterday.  The foster meowmy came to our home and dropped me off personally!!! At the time, we had a doggie named Snooper and we all wanted to make sure the doggie would be nice to me.  She was!!! 

I made myself at home while the foster lady meowed w/ my pawrents.  I walked out of my crate and made myself comfy on the top of the sofa MOL!!!

The rest is history :) 

Pansy is throwing me an all day party <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/forums/Party_Time_and_Virtual_Play_Dates/thread/617730"><b> *HERE* </a></b>

I'm told I get to pick out a scratching post of my choice!! *sticks tongue out at Boogie* You see, he wanted one for Catmas as our red one is about to die *we tore it up!!* and cat treats :) 

SO IF ANYONE knows where to buy a FABULOUS PINK scratching post?!?! LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Pansy for throwing me a party!! Will update later 'cause we're about to disconnect our internet as the humans are going to bed.  Our carpet dudes are coming tomorrow so we won't be by the party until later...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOW! I just got done writing Truffles that we got their package today in the mail!!

Mom was teaching but just finished so now we can upload pics and do a diary!

OMC! I got the prettiest PINK HEART BLANKET in the world!! It's so soft! I told <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/366075"><b> *ANGEL KASHMERE* </a></b> that I am certain she picked it out :) She's my pink buddy 4ever!!

But that's not all! I got a pretty card with a pink border and it's all frilly, the way I like it :) I got my favorite treats, "Party Mix" chicken/turkey/chedder flavor, a Kitty Hoots sardine, and a squeak toy "Earl the Turtle" :) When I was posing mom broke out the Party Mix.  Naturally the rest of the gang was all up in my face!  HMPH!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday my pawrents stocked up on dry food and moist! PetSmart had a great sale on food! We saved $49.xx using our PetSmart card!! We were hoping "Fancy Cats" was at the store to donate our allowance but they weren't there this weekend.

Boogs and I were adopted from there and we use our would-be zealie allowance towards their organization when they're around.

In the meantime, we saw our FAVORITE treats were on sale! Boogie really only likes Tempations yellow chicken packs and Party Mix.  Porkers ONLY likes Party Mix.  He liked the other stuff before, but once he had Party Mix? He never looked back.

I however, love ALL TREATS!

I wonder if my pawrents stocked up on treats for my bday? That's all I want from them 'cause we really don't knead anything.  That or a big fancy schmancy pink bed with pink ruffles and feathers and diamonds and pearls and... and... :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We all surprised mom with a medium sized heart SS locket from Tiffany's.  She was super surprised and had been eying that for a while.  The chain we bought wasn't the kind she liked, and since it happens to be the most popular one (what ever that oooo link looking one is) it's back ordered but we'll be getting a call Wednesday to pick it up.  While we were there, mom also picked out her late Bday gift.  She wanted the travel case and picked out Tiffany Blue.

As my brother's have all mentioned, I was a bit upset we didn't get pink.  Pink goes with everything!! Even orange!! Yes it does! But alas I was out numbered and blue won.

I am happy though that Dad listened to me and made mom canned tuna fish w/ mayo sushi (we don't like raw fish).  It's something we sorta made up and it's good.  At least I wasn't out numbered by this MOL

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Taken from Boogie's diary:

Mommy Samantha here. I am home with my baby Tiskers but it is with great difficulty that I report that the news isn't great.

I had noticed 2 days ago that Tiskers was breathing differently. He was on the computer desk with me and had a bad dream. When he woke up and calmed down, his breathing seemed more labored than normal. I could see that his sides were going in and out more than normal. Looking at the others, it was obvious that Tiskers breathing pattern was different.

Having never really payed attention to his breathing, for all I knew, this was "normal" but it wasn't normal for him as I would have seen this.

He had an appointment today at 11AM with the vet. While the vet heard no heart murmur, and things felt fine (other than a full bladder), we agreed to do blood tests and a Radiograph (x-rays of his heart/lungs).

The heart looked fine from the Radiograph, but near the lung area, there was what appeared to be some blockage (I forget what he said). So they took 2 more from different angles. We laughed as poor Tiskers had a lot of poopie in the x-ray...

I agreed that we should look into this more and he was able to get me into the Cardiologist in Leesburg, VA (15-20 min drive). Dan dropped me off as he had to go to class as it's finals week.

They took me back and I gave them the Radiograph CD and blood results (which were great!). They did an Ultra sound and Eciograph (spelling?). And while he told me the results, I just stood there numb.

Diagnosis:
-Moderate to borderline severe juvenile onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
-Severe posterior wall and apical left ventricular hypertrophy
-Mild left atrial chamber dilation
-Congestive heart failure manifested by pleural effusion

He is on Diltiazem 30mg 2x a day, Lasix/Furosemide 12.5 mg 2x a day, and Children's Apsril 81 mg (1/2 tab 2x weekly)

The outcome depends on how he takes the medicine. If he vomits and doesn't eat, then there's plan B, aka different meds.

Basically, to dumb it down... He had mild heart failure when we brought him in (he did get a Lasix shot), the left side of his heart is affected. The walls are thick in the left ventricular and there was fluid in the left av___ (forget what part of the heart). Unfortunately he won't have the long life we had hoped. The Cardiologist said he had a cat earlier with very similar readings who was here today for his 5 month checkup. But he did say, unfortunately, not to be morbid, since he is so young, he's guessing a year... As long as there's no clots (which can paralyze a cat and are PAINFUL), there will be no suffering and it would be quick.

Please keep my baby in your prayers. He's such a mommy's boy and I'm just devastated. We have been aware that Main Coons and Raggies are prone to getting Cardiomyopathy. They are not born with it.

I'd like to thank Barbi for being there the moment I got the news and for doing a diary entry for me and my baby Tiskers. Catster is a great place and a wealth of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your purrs.

Dan is going to Target to fill the prescriptions and I'm going to spend time with my baby...

Thank you,
Samantha and Tiskers]]></content:encoded>

I wish I had a pink poncho in real life.  Can you imagine? Even though I don't wear clothes often, when I do, I sure do wear 'em good! Funny 'cause I probably pose the best with them after Boogie.

I managed to put that bath on hold 'cause dad has a lot of campaign things going on, but I have a feeling it'll happen very soon.  Thankfully, not this weekend 'cause dad works... *phew*]]></content:encoded>

We're all having a blast with Grandpaw!! He's here until next Wednesday.  Yesterday they went to Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD.  The weather here is soooooo nice! Today it's almost 90!

Grandpaw says the weather is super nice as he left the 40-50 degree weather back home in MN :) MOL!

We'll be back in full swing once he leaves.  We're missing the meowathon right now as we just got back from getting ice cream! We're off to dinner now!!!]]></content:encoded>

Notice how early this entry is! They're leaving in a few to go to Baltimore, MD as they want to see the Inner Harbor :) Mom hasn't been there since a grad school audition back in 2001!!

And to make things even better? She's wearing this CUTE pink top! I picked it out for her to wear along with a pair of cute brown shorts :) She gets her fashion tips from me :)

Also this is my first DDP of the year! Dang, I was in a dry spell!]]></content:encoded>

Barbi was going to bed, and all of a sudden, Kashmere made a loud noise, was convulsing, and she died in her mom's arms.

This just happened before midnight EST.  Barbi is going to the vet in the morning and will get an autopsy.  

We're so sorry for Barbi and family.  This is very sudden and random as she was healthy!! She has no idea what happened nor do we.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ SCORE! Mom and dad stocked up on Solid Gold yesterday! They bought 16 of the large cans as they were on sale for $2.09 each instead of the usual $2.29 or something.

SCORE! It's really the only moist food I like besides Tiki :)

My pawrents just got back from shopping.  They bought a laptop and mom was bummed 'cause dad didn't want to get the PINK ONE!! I too am BUMMED!!! Mom told me the pink laptop was soooooooooooooo pretty pink!! Dad said "No way am I typing on a pink laptop"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gosh, the entire family is fighting over the computer!!! You see late afternoon on Friday (it was NOT good Friday in our home!) our internet connection went out the window! We were without the typy for over 48 hours!! Mom was most upset about this as she doesn't watch TV and the internet is her entertainment when she kneads a break from us :)

And then it was a long day on Saturday as dad was working Easter Weekend, so she couldn't even go to the HP Meowathon! In fact, she couldn't make an official announcement to the group 'cause again, NO INTERNET! She can read catster email on her BB Bold, but replying to groups and friends via pawmails don't seem to work... Anyone else w/ the BB Bold have this issue??

Wishing everyone had a Happy Easter! As soon as we're all done doing diaries, we gotta finish up our Easter Gifts!]]></content:encoded>

Good thing I have connections! Ramone said I could still get the hall for their wedding as I'm "family".  I have all my decorations ready to go!

Besides, gives me a few more months to get into shape.  I think I am getting a bit bigger? I try to stay at 14 pounds but I think with my old age, I'm almost 15 pounds.  Will have to check my weight soon :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woah! We just checked our pages, and saw that Fido has a billion (not really) treats!!! Poor dude... I believe that Boogers and Mittens take a pawful each time they check their pawmail :)

I'm watching my figure so I don't knead many treats on my page :) Besides, every morning, when my brothers (sans me and Porkers) get their moist food, we get our treats!

Porkers is a picky eater.  He hates most moist (99.99%) and only seems to like Greenies and the Party Mix treats.  I however, will eat ALL treats :)]]></content:encoded>

And they didn't even bring me and my brothers treats! Tell you what... Next time there's a sale, you won't see me informing them :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night mom went through her closet and threw out a lot of clothes she didn't like before.  Stacy and Clinton from TLC's what not to wear would be proud.  Mom got rid of ALL her horizontal stripped shirts! The thing is, that's all the stores have! Hard to find vertical stripes!

Mom hasn't gone clothes shopping in many MANY years.  She bought some new jeans recently but that's about it.  But she said next month before Grandpaw comes, she's going to go clothes shopping.

I wish I could help 'cause dad isn't much help.  When mom tries on things she asks him, "How's this look?" and he goes, "Fine" MOL

Maybe I can accompany mom?]]></content:encoded>

 "A

Wow thanks Secret Admirer! Oh we like playing games! I wonder who done it!! Unfortunately I won't be able to crack the case until Thursday when mom gets her 30+ stitches out of her eye lids.  

I'm also purrring for Gimme's Grandpaw who's set for surgery today I believe! I'm so behind on Catster! I haven't done a diary in 10 days! *gasp*

Not much is new w/ us other than we're holding the fort down and taking care of mom.

Thank you Secret Admirer on behalf of my entire family!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ahhhh yes, I have done some shopping.  I helped mom pick out a few gifts as she had asked for my help.  Better her money than mine!

Mom's almost done with her list of Wii games to buy.  Mario cart is on the list as a lot of you said to get that.  Mom is almost tempted to try the HP games on wii as we have them on PS3.  Hmmmmm

Meanwhile mom keeps checking out homes as they're a lot cheaper now.  I guess if you can call $400k cheap for a condo.  Homes here are about $150k cheaper so that's good! Townhomes are still over a half mil though so we'll see.  We want an end one, NEW home (not a previously owned one), so it makes our search harder.

Ok, time to play against my friends on FB! Sorry we haven't been on Catster as much other than diaries, the HP group and checking corrals.  Catster gets quieter and quieter each year.]]></content:encoded>

Mom's always liked games (more than dad if you can believe it!) so she's thinking this would make it more enjoyable.  Mom said she has to loose her love in the mid section MOL

Inside there was a very pretty heart box and inside red socks with Mr. Cupid on them for mom! Next a very pretty red sash with silver hearts on it.  Inside were two catnip pillows with Vday print, a white sparkle ball (that'll go to Fido since mom accidentally threw the one he got for his bday from Monte and family MOL) and a very pretty pink BIG mousie! I'm certain Kashmere put that in for me :)

But that's not all! We got another baggie with candy chocolate hearts and a box of Sweethearts for mom! I don't know if mom will share with dad MOL!!

Especially given their track record... I thought for sure they'd be on good terms after Catmas '08 truce! WRONG! When will they learn...

Well after work, dad went straight to the Grocery Store.  7:30 AM the stores are usually empty.  It worked out as he had just gotten off of his shift.  Anymeow, they had a sale 4 12-packs of pop for $10 plus you get 2 free 2lt of pop!!! SCORE!!!

Dad bought $60 of pop and came home with 24 cases and 12 of those huge 2 lt. of pop! MOL!!!! We're pop-a-holics in the family... Mom and dad don't drink.  This should last 3-4 months :) 

Normally pop is 2 for $8 here so we stocked up!!!! Ready for the superbowl even though dad works it :) He doesn't care anyway about sports (likes hearing the scores, but he's not a huge sport fan)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hark! There's 1/16th of an inch of snow if that on the ground! I'm sure all of DC will be a mess with that white stuff falling from the sky...

I know it's not my dandruff as mom put this Lavender spa stuff near my bum.  I'm the only one with dry skin :( 

Here's hoping we don't get an ice storm! The part of VA we live in doesn't get much snow (well as does most of VA) but we are notorious for getting an ice storm each year... And the ice is about a GOOD inch thick and it's a mess...

Grandpaw is going to TX in 2 hours as mom just got off the phone w/ him.  They're supposed to get ice too... DANG... He was hoping to get away from the -9 degree weather he's been experiencing in MN... MOL]]></content:encoded>

He's quite agile! Look at him hide inside cabinets and how he can "sit" and scratch the post! Wow, impressive! I wonder if he loves water as much as me...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lately I have been snuggling with my pawrents on the bed.  Normally I sleep on the floor or in a bed as the rest of my bros hog the bed.  But I found that mom takes up less space on the bed than dad and have been visiting her lately.  I purrr LOUD like Mittens (the rest of the gang purrs quietly) and wake up mom :)

I want my pounce treats!! Speaking of, the new Friskee's "Party Mix" is da bomb! ALL of us (which is rare) like these treats!! In the past, we all like certain treats (me pounce, greenies, etc, Boogie temptations, etc.,) but we all love the new Party Mix! It's like when mom takes 2 packages and combines them for a "mixture" of treats but BETTER!]]></content:encoded>

She's thinking a sage color or a grayish-blue or something.  She's never painted before so this should be interesting.  Dad will be helping with the high areas as he's 6'2" and mom is petite.

Doesn't mom watch Trading Spaces? We don't watch Extreme makeover 'cause mom doesn't like it, but regardless, she SHOULD know what color schemes work.  I still don't know why PINK is outta the question...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ After 2 long weeks off from teaching, mom hits the grind again.  Well, she only teaches about 3-4 hours a week if you can call that work.  The money has always been just for fun as she's been a housewife for over a year (dad suggested she quit her job).  In the meantime, she's still looking into more codes for dad's website.  Dad is home for 4 days!! With the economy being so bad, they've cut down on his OT so we've been more budget conscious (well trying to).  We're used to dad working a few days of OT as the extra money was what we used for buying fun stuff.  

I hope they don't ask me to share my modeling money... I worked hard for that! Of course, I would help if knead be :)

Brrrr it's cold outside!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Like many people, mom's on facebook after a friend told her she had to join.   Since then she's gotten reacquainted with some high school and college buddies.  A few months ago we installed this application from FB called "Pet Society".  Well today mom saw that their "new" furniture this week was none other than a pink sink!

So we had enough coins to get it.  I'm so proud of my mom for putting in the pink sink for our pet from pet society!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So it's officially 2009!! We all slept in (got about 10 hours!) and now mom is moving furniture to make room for new furniture.  We finally found a huge bookcase with glass to protect mom's favorite books, namely HP and Twilight.  One of the twins (probably Tiskers) when they were kittens put a couple of teeth marks in the dust jacket.  Mom was not happy.  Since then her books have been covered with blankets to protect them.

But the shipment should arrive tomorrow so we will be helping mom assemble it.  Dad works all weekend so this will keep us busy :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mine is to be less scared when things change.  I don't like change... I also want to try and be more cooperative when I get my pictures taken.  I can't help I'm a divo but at the same time I don't like to take pictures unless I'm modeling.  I am the shy one of the family but at the same time I'm a love bug when I want to.  I have a HUGE fascination with water and I kit you know, but when my humans get out of the shower I come RUNNING to them as I like the smell of fresh water!

Even when mom cleans the water filter or refills the reservoir, I come RUNNING so I can be the first to drink the yummy fresh water!

We shall see how I do in 2009 with my Resolution :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday mom spent all day updating our info as all 6 of us are ID chipped with Home Away.  Apparently about a year ago, their old www addy was changed to their current one.  Also they made changes (and for the better).

The twins and Porkers are on the new system, but me, Fido, and Boogie are on the old system but were grandfathered in so we didn't have to pay an annual fee.  Mom upgraded us to full coverage which is cool!

-We get 2 id cards per year (like a license w/ our info!)
-Up to $3000 insurance for medical bills if we get lost and get hurt
-An Amber alert if you will, up to 25 miles from where we were last scene which they send our info to all the vets in the area
-one more thing but we forgot :)

Mom figures for about a $1 a month per cat, it'll give her more peace of mind in case something happens to us.  We're all trained to stay away from doors but you never know ::knock on wood::

Here's my <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z14/BoogersHondoFido/2-2.jpg"><b> *PIC* </a></b> Spiffy no?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is crying while typing and is just so devastated... It is with deepest regret that I inform you that <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/411606"><b> *Picasso* </a></b> has passed onto Rainbow bridge.

Mom just got off the phone with Picasso's mom and we promised her we'd inform her friends in diaries, groups, and some personal pawmails.

As you've read in his latest diaries he hasn't been eating as much (and we know he had a good appetite), but his mom was concerned and brought him to the vet.  On his way there, he started to breath very heavy since he had Cardiomyopathy.  The vet did administer a Lasix shot which usually helps.  His heart was hard to listen to as there was a lot of fluids in the heart. The vet said that he would be ok to go home as there wasn't much they could do that wasn't done already.  They decided to let Picasso go home, try and relax as a vet visit is stressful for a LOT of cats.  After Barb paid for the bill, she was 2 steps out of the vet's door when Picasso started to breath and make loud sounds.  

We're all in disbelief, shock, and very upset to say that Picasso went to the bridge today due to congestive heart failure.  His mom went WELL and beyond to care for Picasso... Our family is SO HONORED to have met him 2x.  He truly is a remarkable cat.  We have all received a very special angel from the Bridge who is looking down on all of us.

I'm so sorry Barb and Rob.  We are beyond sad to hear of this news... *hugs*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Geeze, even the month of December is already flying by! Mom's waiting for dad to come home from 4 hours at the Academy.  They are required to do so many hours of classes every 2 years (I think 40 hours every 2 years).  It's OT so dad doesn't mind but we do have a lot of errands to do.

Since dad got called in last night, they didn't do grocery shopping until 8pm! They usually go shopping once a month which results in a HUGE cart (or two) of stuff! I'm glad they stocked up on cod, that's good stuff and also healthy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ One would think since we've been up since 2:30 AM EST!! Mom was sooooooooooo tired last night she went to bed at 8:30 PM!!! MOL She's working on getting her schedual to daddy's since he's now on days this month.

We pre-ordered the Twilight score soundtrack and placed an order for "HP: HBP wall calender".  Mom really liked that movie! A LOT!!! She ordered <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316043133"><b> *Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion * </a></b> and something for dad which should arrive tomorrow.  We can't wait to receive <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0956010903"><b> *The Tales of Beedle the Bard, Collector's Edition * </a></b> which will arrive December 4th!! 

I wonder what WE'RE getting from our pawrents? Boogie still wants a new scratching post, but I'm certain it won't happen... I bet it's 'cause he was evil to Pansy :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Shopping online! I don't blame stores for not letting cats inside the doors (PetSmart/Petco don't count).  I mean, what if I saw a pawsome pink outfit and it was the LAST one?! What if another cat was eying it like me? There'd be a cat fight for sure!!!

So alas, online is the way to go.  We bought most of our gifts online 'cause some you can't buy at PetSmart.  Mom has been finding great deals online for her friends.  

In fact, one of mom's friends sent her her Catmas gift! She got a cute cat calender, a cat notepad and a Sotheby's catalog! For those who don't know, mom is really into quality diamonds and jewelry.  She doesn't own much but what she owns is pretty spiffy.  Anymeow, the catalog is a bunch of items that were up for auction last year.  They're great coffee table books! AND GREAT eye candy! I'm pretty sure  you can only get them if you attend the auctions? But often ebay has them.  The catalogs feature different things in each one: coins, jewelry, art paintings, etc., and the auctions are in NY, Hong Kong, and only a few other places around the world I believe.

It's fun to look at them.  There was a lot of million dollar items.  Wowsas!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been busy planning birthday parties!

You see, my dad turns 28 today and tomorrow my niece and nephew, Allie and Murray celebrate their birthday!

Been working overtime on preparing a party for them.  And I know they're NOT reading my diary 'cause I'm sure they're busy sleeping on their comfy bed that I picked out :) MOL Also, I'm SURE they're playing with toys 'cause they're youngins', and that's what they do.

They have no time to read their old Unkie's diary :)

Thanks for the pawmails wishing Dad a Happy Bday and Miles for the Pie! He loves deserts, and Mercy and family for the football as he loves sports! And Teebo, Callie and Family for the cupcake!]]></content:encoded>

Not only am I featured but two of my friends are!! Ambrogino and Chelsea Louise! Pawsome!

Mom just got on the computer now.  The past 3 days we have been making it hard for her to get sleep :) And then dad was snoring like a mac truck last night.  So today they did errands: ordered contacts (mom's are avail at 1-800-contacts), got the tire fixed (a screw was in it!), and went to the bank.

Ok, time to check all my pawmail and read the messages friends have left!!

Thank you: Hazel Lucy (pawmail), Sir Sonny Bono (pawmail), Pansy (pawmail and yes I blame Boogie), Buddie always loved (pawmail),  Mathis der Meowler and fam (shades), Bailey and the gang (turkey), Hooch (turkey), Ambrogino (drumstick), Samoa and fam (pilgrim hat), Isis (trophy), Enzo (PINK shrimp), Kashmere (football), Sawyer and fam (drumstick), Murray (trophy--check out his new bed made by Calvin's mom!), Teebo and Callie (football, dang 20 degrees?!), Chelsea Louise (power of the paw), Daisy/Sugar and fam (pilgrim hat), Rocky Ann (PINK rosette), Baby-G (drumstick), KiKi (drumstick), The Family of Chai Latte (PINK rosette), Margo (turkey), Freddie H.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's so cold!! Today my mom brushed me and she noticed my furr was thicker, so that means the winter coat has set in.

I like winter 'cause I don't sneeze (I have mild allergies), however, I have dry skin all year round, so I'm embarrassed to say I have a bit more flakes on my bod... I might knead to go to the spa! 

Anyway, mom sent dad out to get "On the Border" for dinner as we're low on food... Exciting things or tons of chores always knead to be attended to on Thursday-Friday it seems.  Of course, those are the days mom teaches... Glad I don't have to go outside to get food! Nothing beats dry food and my Tiki :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So in our home, we have dry food out 24/7 and we get a half a can each of moist around 7-8AM, and sometimes we get a snack around dinner time (moist, usually 1 can between us 5 big dudes, and the lil' dude gets to eat more frequent as he's a young lil' dude).

We get Tiki usually every 3-4 days.  So on the days we don't get that, I get my treats! I'm hoping mom will get more water in the fridge so I can "beg" for my treats!! Me and Tiskers are the big treat eaters.  Boogie is touch and go, so what he doesn't eat, I GET :) 

I really want treats... I'm rubbing against mom wanting treats... Mmm]]></content:encoded>

Seriously, Boogie is all meow and no action :) Brother for sale?

I'm happy to hear that Smudge's cooker is installed and now they are all moved in their new home!!! Smudge is one of our favorite Tortie cats ever! SO pretty!!!

Ok, time to figure out what to make for dinner... Mom has porkchops unthawing (NO NOT OUR BROTHER) but she's not in the mood to cook... Yesterday mom made tuna sushi (tuna in a can w/ mayo, english cucumber).  It's not the REAL version of sushi, but mom won't do raw fish!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That mom has found a book that doesn't make her stop half way through and re-read our beloved Harry Potter?

There are a ton of books out there but nothing will ever come close to Harry Potter.  We all love the British Chick Lit, Non-Fiction, etc., but no matter what new genre we read, we keep coming back to HP.  We're not by any means Sci-Fi fans...

Well, mom took the plunge and ordered the 4 books in the Twilight series.  After all, there's a movie coming out this month based on the first book!

Well, while this is NO HP (you really can't compare them to one another), when mom got her books the other day, she sat down, with me next to hear, and started reading... HOLY CATS! It's good stuff!!! It was funny 'cause Gordy and Simba's mom were both proud of us MOL

We're over half way done w/ book 1, but you cats knead to check it out! Hondosan gives it 5 paws!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ D'oh! I'm almost 4 days late on doing my first diary for the month of November! November is a nice month as it's cool enough for mom and dad to wear jeans and actually layer their clothes.

I can't believe it's November already! Mom and dad were talking earlier before dad left for work and it's hard to believe, but they've been living in VA for almost 5 years! That means that I too have almost been with my furrever family for 5 years! They figured I was 1 when I was adopted and I'm 5.5 now :) Wow! Seems like yesterday I came home and made myself comfortable on the couch! MOL

Seriously, when I came to my new home, the foster mom let me out of my cage and I just walked right up onto the couch and went "PLOP" :)]]></content:encoded>

Not much news here... Mom's been busy shopping (food, stuff at Target) as we were running low on stuff when she was recovering from her surgery.  If she gave dad full reign on shopping, he'd come back with candy bars, dvd's, stuff we don't need, junk food, etc., :)

He should have asked me to go shopping! Ok, time for my beauty rest...]]></content:encoded>

Poor Murray, he didn't like his nails getting cut.  I don't blame him.  I tend to run when I see my brothers getting their nails done.  So when it's MY turn I gotta get picked up by dad, and then mom cuts it.  I trust mom 'cause she's gentle and has never cut us doing so.  But seriously, I'm a divo, and what if I chipped a nail right? SO nail clippings are a must!

Tomorrow his dad gets surgery... I know Allie will take care of him but EASY ON THE KNEADING!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooo for some reason, my profile said I was 14 pounds *looks at belly* but apparently my secretary forgot to update my weight as it said I was 16 pounds last time? Mom thought I was 14? Anymeow, I'm officially 15.63 pounds :)

Today dad brought me to the vet along with PorkChop as he kneaded to get ID chipped and the 3rd shot in the series.  I had to get my 3 year rabies vaccine.  It didn't hurt but I was glad to go home.  I hate the carrier.  Even though it's fuchsia, I hate it!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh how I missed everyone! Gimme just informed us that stitches don't hurt to be removed which is GOOD to hear! Mom was thinking that it might, but we're told just a tugging feeling.

Thanks everyone for your sweet pawmails! Mom will work on returning thanks this week.  

Did I miss much? Other than seeing the new rosettes that are out, I hope we didn't miss any big honors or news.  If we did, let us know!!

So like everyone in my fam mentioned, mom had 48 stitches and is doing well.  She's been living off of Subway as dad doesn't cook much, and of course dad did bring her the Queensland Salad from the Outback last night as mom was SICK of Subway for 4 days in a row! MOL!!! She had a 6 inch turkey for lunch and dinner! Can we say Jared Diet? MOL!!!

Thank you again for the pawmails and to the following cats for gifties:

Munky and fam (paw), Samoa and fam (shades), Fluffy and fam (leaves), and Colleen (ghost)]]></content:encoded>

In the meantime, don't forget to vote for my family in Catster's Coolest Contest!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh how I love this ingenious contraption! I got my weekly brushing and holy cats! Mom got off enough furr to probably make 10 mousies!! You see, we gotta get off my old coat to prepare for the winter one.  I always look more fluffy in the winter as my coat gets extra thick.

Meanwhile I've been munchin' on Boogie's Turkey Temptations.  He's not too happy about that, but he's been busy guarding mom like a hawk from Pansy.

Ok, time to get meowmy and daddy lovies.  Dad's off work tomorrow and that means extra extra lovies!]]></content:encoded>

She just finished working on all our pages and will put up our Halloween costumes later.  Like Boogie and Tiskers meowed in their diary, mom is busy this week and can't go and find us new outfits and then next week is her eye surgery.

Last month or so, 2 leaked on our floor and mom sent them back and got two replacements from Dr. Fosters... Well, the one in our spare bedroom is having issues! Just like before, the water is very high, and it'll only be a matter before it leaks all over our floor!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

So mom will get a return label and then they will credit her credit card.  Dang, Drinkwells are having issues.

When we first got Mittens he had runny yuckies, but PorkChops' are just soft.  If it's not better by Saturday we'll knead to bring him in to get Albon like Newman.  The change in food might be upsetting him as mom hears his stomach make the upset stomach noises sometimes... We've been adding our food in with the food the breeder used (ProPlan dry and Royal Canin dry).

But maybe while we're evening up the number in our family? Could it be that PorkChop and I will be besties? Stay tuned!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our group is now starting the 5th of 7 books in our weekly meowathon! We keep getting more and more members and even the doggies are active! Hard to believe our group of just over a year has read the first 4 books!

Book 5 paperback version, has 870 pages! YIKES! It's the largest book in the series.  Since the 6th movie has been postponed until July '09, the time our group finishes reading book 6, the movie should be set to premiere!

Anyway, we must get ready for our meowathon in 30 minutes, but I'd like to give a meowout to Hazel Lucy and her meowmy*waves* as we just got done speaking with them :)  What a nice family!

Also today I received a stuffed spider named Edgar from Rue Rue and family.  She knows how I hate spiders but this one is harmless---as long as it doesn't eat my TIKI! Thank you Rue Rue and family for an early Halloween gift.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Holy kittens, me and Rue have been married for a year! Bitter sweet in that her 'daddy' gave her away and conducted the ceremony.  A lot can happen in a year!

Furrr starters, we had endless Sushi! But unfortunately that must have been seasonal 'cause it's no longer offered... Giving my Rue small shrimp just isn't the same.

But I know what she loves... Diamonds... And I don't blame her! Can't go wrong with bling! Now if we could only get official Pink diamonds--JLo has NOTHING on me! Bring it!

Happy Annifurrsary my Mooo Shoooooo!]]></content:encoded>

In the meantime, my beautiful wifey Rue Rue and her mom called my mom during this past week.  Unfortunately at the time, mom was a crying bumbling mess so it went to voice mail.

Picasso's mom had just replaced hers a month ago as their old one was leaking too.  Unfortunately, the replacement leaked w/in a month so they returned it and got a new one... But even worse?! It leaked AGAIN 2 days ago!! What is wrong with the Drinkwells?! They have very nice hard wood floors (not the cheap ones) and can you imagine if their dad didn't come home when he did? There'd be water everywhere and thousands of dollars in repairs!

HELP!

So mom made sure the reservoir was full and noticed the basin was almost over flowing (water pressure set to low as always).  Well she noticed this on both and thought maybe we were thirsty.  So dad filled everything AGAIN before bed... They woke up=reservoir on both was EMPTY and the carpet was a bit damp.

ARGH!! Mom's chatting w/ the online rep and hopes there's a warranty... $120 wasted is a lot of tiki! MOL

Not that she'll be able to taste it with a stupid cold, but she's been so lazy and hasn't cooked in days! So we'll let her have a few more days of R&R... 

Not much is new here... I'm hoping to have a kick tail Halloween costume this year! Not sure what I'll be... I think last year I was HK.

The year before? I don't remember that far... See, I don't pay much attention to Halloween outfits... NOW if it was haute couture then yes, I have a great memory.  I can remember who whore chewwy voutin and what day of the week it was.  Yes I am a divo! It's all about detail! Time to shop online.  I've been a good boy and mom said she'd shop with me online.  I like to sit next to her on the computer while she surfs.  I am also an enabler and often help mom do impulse shopping :)]]></content:encoded>

I'm pawsitive mom's BP went up a few points when she heard that.  I told mom she should do some retail therapy to remedy the situation, but she said, "Hondo, I have no desire to shop, so bummed".  *gasp* I KNOW RIGHT?

We do however have to get out and about soon and send Biscotti's bday gift Tuesday! I can't believe Mittens, Tiskers and Biscotti will be ONE Augst 26th!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm lazy and copied Boogie's diary MOL

Ok, mom just got back from her 3.5 hour Cardiologist appointment. A lot of the long lulls were from resting and letting fluids "absorb".

Mom got poked 2x as the IV didn't take--ouch! But she didn't take her meds for 12 hours as told and was fasting. So she gets there, they take her BP. It was 170/99 (factoring in the white coat and not being on BP meds for 12+ hours). So they did a few tests including the dreaded stress test.

Now, minutes prior to the stress test, they took her BP again. 188/103 (something like that) and the Dr. was immediately concerned and gave mom 2 pills to lower it to a safe level. It didn't go down as much as she'd like but the test had to be done and they were monitoring her vitals.

So the stress test.. She said it wasn't fun! The treadmill was at a SLOW pace. Literally left foot... right foot.... left foot... But they had injected two liquids into her IV and as soon as they did? OH BOY!

The dr. even said "Do you feel warm and like you're gasping for air?" Mom said "YES". It was a shock but the doctor assured her when they stop the test, mom will be able to breath. Mom did about 5 minutes and they increased the resistance and dang, mom wasn't panting but the tight feeling in the chest was nearing to be unbearable. Seriously, mom has done the elliptical for 45 minutes and this stress test felt like (assuming) if mom did the elliptical for 5 hours!

Then they did more tests (some machine that x-rayed her for 15 minutes) and she had an ultrasound on her heart prior to these tests. Mom has to go back next Tuesday and hopefully the new meds will help. She's taking:

Caduet 10/mg/20mg and Benicar HCT 40mg/12.5mg

The bad news is that mom's bp an hour after the stress test had increased MORE. 220/112!!! :( So mom went home with a 24 hour monitoring/recording BP cuff that goes off every 30 minutes. So mom had to cancel teaching music lessons tonight... Can't let her drive w/ the cuff going off!

The dr. did say, given mom's age (30) and even if mom were to loose 15 pounds, it's definitely Genetics. Problem is, mom's adopted... So we shall see what happens. Mom isn't too happy now but she knows the Cardiologist will find out something a family doctor wouldn't be able to...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ D'oh!!! She didn't get her feliway on time... That stinks... I was telling her that it helped me over come my fear of the box after I had that scary UTI problem a while back.  Mom still has to give me a treat after I use the box to help retrain me from being afraid of it--it's working and mmmmmmmm treats!

I'm loving the new gifties, but where is the SUSHI!! And like Rocky Ann said, the PINK rosettes are gone! *gasp* It's as if HQ is punishing me! I can't help it! I'm a divo!!!!

I might knead retail therapy.  Mom has trained me well :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A few of you (close friends and the HP group) are aware that we've been a bit less active for the past week.  Granted, we still haven't been great with groups other than in the HP one, but we wanted to inform you all why...

It's nothing too serious as it's on it's way to being controlled, but a few of you may remember our mom saying she was getting eye surgery to fix her lashes and to prevent them from scratching her cornea.

Well she had to get medically cleared for surgery and last Wednesday she had her doctors appointment.  To her horror, she found out her BP was off the charts: 220/1xx!! She currently has medicine but it's been making her tired (she has been up for about 6 hours on ave each day), dizzy, and she has had an off and on headache.

She has a follow up Wednesday.  BUT she's actually seeing a cardiologist Thursday.  Dad's co-worker has had high BP for years and none of the doctors could prescribe the "right" combo of medicine.  Well he was rushed to the hospital while at work due to his BP and there he met w/ a cardiologist (who will work on mom!).  For the first time in 5 years he got the right medicine and was diagnosed as having an enlarged heart.  We hope mom is ok and we along w/ dad have been taking care of her :) But we wanted to let you know why we haven't replied to some of your pawmails.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooooo my sister-in-law, Eve sent me and Boogie mail!! Inside was some yummy smelling tissues, and 2 packs of HK gum! OMC! The thing is, mom won't be eating it probably MOL!!! It's too "cute" to eat! I had to stop her from eating it! :) Thank you Eve!

Speaking of HK... Boogie found something for you today too while doing errands with mom and dad :)

They also went to PetSmart and stocked up on Sheba as it was .99 cents per can instead of the usual $1.19 (it's a treat I get as I'm a picky eater).  Score! 

We also picked up a few more gifts for our raggie brothers and Biscotti and also found something for a new cat in town <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/825067"><b> *HARRY* </a></b>!! Fido has had some hair that he saved for his girl, so we're going to get that out this week we hope! Make sure you befriend Harry!]]></content:encoded>

I can't believe they'll be one year old in less than a month!

Dang, Mittens weighs more than me!

Mom just got up as she had a my-grain.  The weather has been so hot, that it often triggers her my-grains.  She was a bit sad as NONE OF US were keeping her company in bed--a rarity! We were all chillaxin' in the computer/spare room :)

Anyway, I hope the rumors about the HP HBP OFFICIAL trailer are true as it's set for Tuesday!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So today mom had her consult for her entropion issue.  The person who schedule's her surgery will be in next week so she'll call and make an appointment.  But before she can get it done, she needs to be medically cleared from her Dr. (mom needs to find one as she doesn't go there often, so she hasn't formed a bond with a Dr. yet).  She should clear (I would think!) but mom does get high BP when stressed.  Every time she goes to the Dr. or ANY Dr. mom gets sorta panicky... So they always have to take her BP about 15-20 min into the initial BP test.  Poor mom MOL.

Dad went with mom today and even while mom was waiting for 5 minutes, she started to sweat on her brown.  She doesn't like Dr's I guess? Almost as much as I HATE going into the carrier to go to the evil V-E-T!

Hoping late August will be the surgery (out patient, hour long). YIKES! There will be some bruising and swelling they said.  So it'll look like mom got beat up MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I may love water (check out my motto) but I do NOT LIKE WATER to fall near me voluntarily!

We were a bit late to tonights Meowathon due to our dishwasher going nutso! It had done it's thing, mom was reading and preparing for the HP Meowathon when she heard "drip drip... drip drip"

So mom gets up and sees that the sink is FLOODED with dishwasher gunk, and there's water all over the floor and counters!

No damage to the floors as it had just started (mom heard the drip for about a minute), but mom was like "LITTER! NO MOP" So she had to gather up all our towels and soak up the water that way.  We use the Swiffer mop thing so no mop MOL!

Ugh, what a mess! So mom had to hit the garbage disposal to drain the water and called Dad in a panic who called for help.  They came over really quick and word is we'll get a new dishwasher Monday! YAY!

Imagine if mom wasn't home? Normally we run the thing when the humans are doing errands.  But if they were gone, the people underneath them might not have been so happy MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooooooo!!! I just noticed that I have 9 paws on my page!! I know I received my 8th paw on my bday May 25, and even last night when I was working on my diary, I still had 8 paws!

OMC! Thanks so much to the kind cat who gave me a paw rating of at least a 4-5!!! I wish I knew who these cats were as I'd give them a lil' thanks :)

I'm about done catching up on what went on at Catster last week.  We've been very lazy today here, and that's not a bad thing :)

I wanted to give my purrs out to my FIL <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/404464"><b> *ASHLEY* </a></b> as he's having a hard time.  I'm purring that he perks up as in the past.  Love you dude!]]></content:encoded>

While I loved seeing them, I furrr one am glad I have my house to myself again! Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I was out of my element for a few days.  I was a bit stressed for a day but after that, I warmed up like I always do :)

Besides, getting extra lovies is always welcomed! I hope everyone had a great weekend! We'll be catching up with everyone this week :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love my daddy!!! Here are the top reasons why I love my daddy!

1) When ever I want a cat treat, I walk up to the treat drawer, rub against it and dad hot foots it to the drawer and feeds me treats.

2) He always gives me a lot more treats than mom does :)

3) He knows I hate a smelly litter box, so he takes out the litter as soon as it stinks.  Basically  he takes it out sooner than it really needs to be as I'm spoiled.

4) When mom and dad go shopping, he's always thinking of me and what shirt might look "cute" on me :) 

5) Daddy and I share the bond of the love of nice clothes.  

6) When dad leaves for work, he always spends a good minute letting me rub against his watch.   It's something I've always done.  He'll lift his arm up, and I get on my hind legs, and hold onto his arm, and rub against the cool feel of his watch!!!

7) Both me and my daddy are good looking if I don't say so myself :)

8) Dad loves doing head butts with me.  I like it rough and he doesn't hold back and bonking me :)

9) He knows how much I LOVE FRESH WATER!!!!!!!!! So sometimes for fun, he'll pour some water into our drinkwells just so I get a taste of the yummy fresh water!

10) I LOVE MY DAD because he's the kindest dude I know! Love you daddy :)

I also wanted to give a shout out to <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/306933"><b> *BOB* </a></b> as it's his Birthday today!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brother Boogie is getting married this Saturday! I was in charge of the flowers and decorating.  All I know is that I have some pink kleenix on paw, furrr, well... You know :)

I can't believe the time has come!!! Mom still has to dress the raggies as they sometimes aren't very cooperative.  

This Sunday is Father's Day.  Mom is thinking of buying dad a few shirts and/or a nice dinner where ever he wants (I'm guessing a Steakhouse is what we'll do!)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, ok.... "I" didn't, but my parents did :) This afternoon, my parents met auntie Brenda and the furry gang :) Mom said it was so nice to see my wifey along with Ashley, Bells, Gremlin, the slobber monster Angus, and the lil' kittens :)

They sat and talked for a while and then decided to get lunch at Ruby Tuesday's.  Mom had this yummy chicken salad, dad had his usual chicken fingers, and Brenda had these spicy shrimp.  She was nice and treated our pawrents to lunch.

Then they went to Petco where they picked up some food, toys, etc., It was soooooooooooooooooo hot out that they didn't get to go to Harpers Fairy, but that's ok.  They later returned back home, and played with the furry peeps some more :) 

When mom left, Brenda was so nice and surprised mom with two gift baggies! Inside were two yummy chocolate covered twinkies, strawberry laces,  a huge sucker, and a package of chocolate covered molasses.  The candy was very yummy and was from a store in WV called "DeFluri's Fine Chocolates".  Mom also received a beautiful pair of silver earrings (A circle with a silver feather inside), a cute card signed by Rue, and a gray octopus Meow Mix toy! OMC! And we all know Brenda has a HUGE catnip garden, so she gathered up a bunch of that for us! 

We had so much fun!! Since mom only got 3 hours of sleep last night since dad was snoring, mom crashed for about 4 hours on the sofa MOL.  Thank you so much Brenda and family! We had a lot of fun even though mom was exhausted! *glares at dad*

I got to meet my Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks to those who have pawmailed us asking if we were ok!!! There were some BAD storms in WV, MD, VA!!!! The first one happened around lunch time (I know this as Boogie was "hungry"), and then another at dinner time.

Storms in VA go by fast, so it was just gusty wind (40-60 mph they say), and heavy rain.

Rain=FRIZZ! So I hid behind the couch, while the rest of the gang looked outside.  The raggies were really loving the rain storm :)

I got tagged by PeekABoo as did Boogie, but we're going to have to pass... Mom is frantically working on Boogs' wedding and Simba's group :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well mom had to reschedule her visit as they didn't realize the day was Memorial Day, aka bad traffic.  Now, had mom looked at a normal calender, she might have noticed it.  But you see, she was looking at her Catster calender.

Catster had this sweet deal with Shutterfly a while back and you could get a free calender and personalize it :) So mom put personal important dates and unchecked holidays like "Full Moon" or the like.  So Memorial Day for what ever reason wasn't on the calender! 

Ugh.

Anymeow, I get to see Rue in 8 days, not that I'm counting.  But I have to be realistic... My pawrents are going not me... I don't do cars... I do hummers as I'm a divo.  :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ NOT A BATH!!!! Ugh, I just got done getting bathed.  Of all of us cats, I'm the only one who gets a lot of dandruff near my bum.  So the last time I had a bath was almost a year and a half ago.  But it "had to be done".  I have special shampoo from the vet and in my dry food, I get vitamin E tablets/fish oil supplements, and in my dry food I get a powdered substance sprinkled on my food--what the Raggies get too.

Ugh, the bath was torture.  It only lasted a few minutes but I was screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeming.  How dare daddy hold me while mom lathered up my fur.  

Ok, I gotta get dry but I'm sooooooooooo not going to talk to my mom and dad *until I get pounce treats which I'm looking forward to*

I envy you cats who don't have a chronic skin issue.  Why can't I be like Boogers who loves baths? He did, by the way, get his bum cleaned and nope, not a word outta his mouth.  He quite enjoyed it... Nutter...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First off, I wanted to say again, how much our family will miss Simba.  She made her journey to the rainbow bridge today, and the sky will shine much brighter.  Simba's friend Ming Ming mentioned that if there's a shooting star, it'll be Simba letting her mom know she's ok.  So true...

Thank you DDP lady for picking me today.  It actually helped let a few more cats know how wonderful Simba is.

On a brighter note, I wanted to finally say Thank You to a few cats as I've received some birthday gifts.  I didn't want to meow about any of them until we knew Simba was safe at the bridge...

A few days ago, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/323140"><b> *CALI AND LEO* </a></b> had sent me a wonderful pink yeowww catnip cigar! Although I received two from my nephew/nieces, it's pawsome as the lil' rug rats won't share! They took mine! So mom is making sure this one is all mine, and NONE of my bros can touch :) Thanks so much!

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/296238"><b> *SAMMIE AND KIKI* </a></b> sent me a package too! Inside was a pawsome pink boa jingle bell toy, some Chicken Greenies, a cuteeeeeeee card, and 4 toys, of which, 3 were PINK AND PURPLE!! OMC! It doesn't get any better than that! Thanks guys!

And finally, I received a package from <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/366075"><b> *KASHMERE AND CO* </a></b>.  They sent me a cute blue shirt with an adorable bear on the front that I can't post pics until tomorrow (A divo NEVER lets ONE person dress him, it should be TWO), a pretty pink card with hearts, a trashcan pineapple toy, Meow Mix treats (MINE), a cute purple mousie (Cassi picked it out), a can of Sheba tuna Fillet & Egg, and 4 handmade catnip pillows featuring pawsome pink prints, full of glitter and stuff I, Hondosan, love! Thank you so much!!!

But Horton is an Elephant! I googled and found words like "pouch" which makes me think maybe this cat is from Aus? Meaning Kangaroo's? Ok, I'm off to hut as much as I can.

Seriously, we're not too good at these riddles, but we have solved ONE.... MOL!!!

I miss the Voki's as it was so fun to 'hear' everyone's voice.  Especially Calvin, as he was spazzin' about Tiki quite a bit... But I don't blame  him for that!!

Boogie keeps stealin' the pink yeowww cigars my niece/nephews gave me.  You don't see me being a big old baby! Now if I took his Tiki, he gets all mad! Seriously, how is THAT fair?]]></content:encoded>

Meanwhile I'm like, "MOM MOM! Yo!! It's in your closet on the top shelf! Dangit mom! C'mon! LOOK"

And sure enough... There it was!! 

Oooo.........Mmmmmmmmmm.......CODdddddddddddd

THANK YOU Phoebe, Allie, Miles, and Murray!! OMC! I got <b>2 pink cigars</b> (both for me, NONE FOR MY SIBS), a pawsome DVD that, had dad TOLD her the box was in her closet, I could have watched while she taught lessons!  You see it's a Cat Sitter DVD for Cats! PAWSOME!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, mom was thrilled to see an email from the makers of the Litter Robot today!! They now have filters to help neutralize the odor! You see, mom lives with 6 males if you include dad... She says while our home doesn't smell of cats, when we do our "thing" boy oh BOY does it smell!

So mom said "ENOUGH of the stinky bums!!" so she just ordered 4 packs of the filters and the new strips they have too.  To be honest, we do smell... All of us... And you know it's bad when your mom knows who "done it" MOL

I know Reebok's family will be buying some too! Pawsome!!]]></content:encoded>

I heard dad meowing about that earlier to Boogie.  You see, Boogers was hoping dad would stock up on Tiki with that.  But dad said, "Boogie, leave some Tiki for Calvin!!!"

True dat!

I can't wait to see my grandpawrents in June!!! And then in July I get to meet Simba, Glompity girl! WOAH!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, it's true.... My mom is turning 30 April 24th (Thursday).  I told her, "Mom, don't sweat it! Nothing a bit of retail therapy won't fix".  Mom smiles and goes "Oh Hondo, you know JUST what to say". 

Dang right! I'm a divo!

But no, mom won't do retail therapy, that can be dangerous... She'll go out to dinner somewhere of her choice, and maybe a movie.  A while back she got a ring since gold keeps going up (The Cartier trinity ring) and recently she was bad.  But I won't say what... Ok, it was something sparkly... *go mom!*]]></content:encoded>

Mom is done loading softwear, adding pictures, adding bookmarks, fixing her address book in outlook express, etc.  Took a good 4 hours but at last, it's done.

Evil computers!!! The new one is all spiffy! Anymeow, time to catch up on Catster! We missed you all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ugh, this is my 2nd attempt to write my diary.  Our computer is still 95% dead and we can only get online for 5-10 minute spurts until it freezes in safe mode with networking.  What a pain! I feel so out of touch with things.  I guess a week without catster will make me stronger.

You can imagine how sad I am that I can't do online shopping :) 

Guess what! My pawrents are going to be visiting Picasso's family again! Their dad just bought a new LCD tv or something, and their other one, which is like 39 inches or something and less than a year old? Well my parents are going to buy it from them as dad wants a bigger tv.  We'll have to call Direct TV and get the Hi Def option in our dish, but that'll happen after we get back, and get our computer running.

I miss you all!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well not for a while... But since our grandpaw is turning 60 in June, mom bought them tickets to fly them down to visit :) We can't wait! They haven't met our raggie brothers! The plan is to take them to Georgetown where dad will hopefully be getting a S.W.A.T tattoo, and just to spend time with us :) Mom still refuses to fly out to MN.  She says she gets bored over there MOL

I think she hates the weather to be honest.  They're still a bit chilly and grandpaw said they're supposed to get snow this weekend! MOL!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So if you have read my bio ever, you'll know by now that I was named after the character "Hondo" in S.W.A.T with Sam Jackson and Collin Ferrel.  Well, dad gave me a hug furrr good luck today as dad went out for the first of 3 components for him to be part of the S.W.A.T team.  And it worked!!!  There were 15 for this week (the physical qualifications) and only 7 were left standing :) YAY DAD!!!!!!!! Next week the 2nd group goes.  Dad's aural component was pushed up to the 8th of April.  He'll be fine :)

And then enter the S.W.A.T school.  He's hoping he gets in for obvious reasons but also if he does, mom agreed that he can get a tattoo of the S.W.A.T emblem *insert MANY eye rolls*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes I think mom is part cat! While the kittens sometimes will wake mom up, she's been getting a lot of Zzzz's!

Some of it might be stress related as things were going on for a few weeks, but now that she's moving from that, the past week she has gotten over 12  hours of Zzzz's each day!!! Dad was on nights while mom went to bed around 6-7am, (not unusual) but she would always wake up by 1-3pm.  The past week though she wakes up at 7pm on average! 

I think my mom is turning into a cat no?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm loosing track of time that's for sure!! April is just around the corner and while I'm excited as that means we can open our windows soon, mom is not happy.  The big 3-0 looms in April for her and she's like "Ugh".

She already got part of her bday gift from dad (Cartier trinity rolling ring) but she's trying to figure what to DO on her bday.  Being our pawrents are very laid back, don't drink and are home bodies, she figures she'll just go out to eat and then catch a movie.  A friend suggested comedy club but mom might pass as it's a week day and dad  has to work the next night.

Hope my friends have a pawsome weekend!]]></content:encoded>

We know they are both looking down on the meowmy and River... *hugs*

Other than that sad news, not much to report here.  Mom is tired as all meow and it might be because she bought caffine free pop! MOL! We also did get part of our Mr. Coffee tea maker today (the actual tea maker comes tomorrow) so that's cool.  My beautiful wife Rue Rue sent me an Easter Card and it was all BLING BLING with glitter and of course, Tinker Bell on the front :) hehe Thanks sweetie!]]></content:encoded>

Mom is seriously not looking forward to turning 30 next month.  She said she'll need my help as she's going to do some retail therapy :)

In addition to missing the St. Patty's festivities, we didn't get to give voki shoutouts but just a few to be exact.

AND on top of it? Me and Rue yesterday celebrated our 6 month annifurrsary as a married couple! I'm so lucky to have my Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeeee, but HISSSSSSSSSSSS on how it was so not cool that of all days mom had to deal with something personal and then have her friend be here when mom was frazzled! Her friend helped give her advice.  But I was like "MOMmmmmmmmmm I need to wish Rue a Happy Annifurrsary!!!!!!!!!" I was FULL ON DIVO FYI!!!! 

And now it's like almost 6am.  How is a divo to get sleep when he is frazzled?]]></content:encoded>

Mom hates the radio and often doesn't listen to it.  She says the music is terrible these days.  Yup, she's officially becoming old MOL.

One of our filters had to be turned "down" as it was getting the carpet a bit moist.  Weird no? It just seems to splash more.  But I tell you what, I've drank even MORE water from this filter :) Oooooooo water!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooo so Wednesday March 12, my two drinkwells will be here! THANK COD!!! I miss that luscious flow of yummy fresh clean water! I wonder how many years each drinkwell has? Our last one was about 1.5 years.  I think this one will be easier to get too as well as it's not so deep like the Dog one.  I remember when Mittens and Tiskers came home, it was a bit of a challenge for them to get water :)

Mom has been up for about 5 hours.  She got up at 10pm EST as she had a terrible My-grain.  She hasn't had one THIS bad in YEARS! She's all good to go now.  She was touched how we all slept with her while she rested.  Boogie and Tiskers, as usual, were near her head, and me, Fido, and Mittens were at her feet.]]></content:encoded>

Meanwhile I'm drinking from the PetMate and it's NOT THE SAME! The flowage doesn't compare.  *sigh* What's a divo to do!

We were going to get another BigDog one as it's cheaper and holds a LOT more, but it's a pain to clean mom said.  We were reading some reviews online about cleaning and one review said *gasp*

"The drinkwell is great! We don't have to give the cat fresh water as often.  And even better that we only have to clean it every other month or so"

AHhhhhhhhhhhhhh every OTHER month? EWwwwwwwwwww poor cat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom came in here to do emails before reading her book when she noticed the drinkwell was VERY low.  Now granted, it needed to be filled and cleaned but mom was going to wait until the morning.  So she filled it up all the way.  She then proceeded with our emails and then 30 minutes elapsed and then she saw it was empty again!

She googled and found that the seal can give out... HISSSSSSSSSSS Ok, so we've had it for 1.5 years.  So now we knead a new one as I'm not going to drink out of a bowl! I am thinking the Drinkwell Platinum.  I might ask mom to buy two as the PetMate we have in my pawrents room? It just doesn't have the pawsome flow like a drinkwell.  Oooooooooo two new drinkwells!! Sweet!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So good news!!!!!!! Again, mom is tired and didn't get much sleep (Dad was snoring!) but she had to report before her and I take a nap.

I'm all clear of: diabetes (phew), liver, kidney and all that gets tested with blood panels.  The only concern is that my thigh-roid is in the gray area.  Dr. Colvin said unless my parents continue to see an increase in my drinking and I think dad said a lack of appetite, then there's no reason for concern.

There's no need for any advanced blood tests (phew).  

Power of pur does work! Still not sure why I peed outside the box.  But hopefully this feliway works as a bunch of cats said it helped when they did that! We however, are going to next month bring Boogers to the vet (he doesn't know this so mum's the word!) as after reading and learning that large pees can indicate the big "D", he will also get the same blood tests done.

I'm fine with peeing big as it's better than poopin' in PINK like Bellsnickles and having it publically displayed <a id="img2666348939" +  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://files.dogster.com/pix/cats/81/404481/404481_1171501678.jpg" onmouseover="document.getElementById('img2666348939').innerHTML = String.fromCharCode(60) + 'img src=http://files.dogster.com/pix/cats/81/404' + '481/404481_1171501678.jpg' + String.fromCharCode(62) + String.fromCharCode(60) + 'BR/' + String.fromCharCode(62) + 'on Catster!'">on Catster!</a> MOL!

Thank you again for all the purs and helpful information! *bonks and hugs*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *blushes, kicks litter in embarrassment* So it's been 6 months since I was last a DDP!!! And oh how excited I was to wake up to tons of messages, group mail, rosettes and gifties. 

And then reality set in... I thought, "NOoooooo, I hope the diary that was picked wasn't about my poopies!!!!!" Low and behold... It was... DOM DOM DOMMMMMMMM!!! 

As for my situation, mom is assuming I have left a #1 in the boxes.  It's hard to do your buisness when your mom is watching you non stop! But she has taken her UV light checking for your-in stains... I am not lethargic, been drinking and eating, and a bit playful.  We're hoping it was just a lack in judgment when I ruined a cat bed.  I should know about the results tomorrow or Tuesday.  Dr. Colvin was amazing.  Also our regular vet emailed us and said he'd be in M, W, and Friday even though he's not scheduled as he has some meetings.  He said he'd see me if knead be :) Also he thinks I should have another urinalysis and culture (sterile) in case, and also a month from now.  Mom definately agrees on the month from now, but will wait to hear the blood results.

Perhaps I have diabetes... Mom read that if the cat urine clumps are HUGE that could be a sign.  Me and Boogie are the main ones who have huge clumps and low and behold we're the biggest dudes.  But we're working on the weight thing with Evo (lots of protein, fills us up and we're eating LESS).

Ok, time to restore my face on catster *thinks to himself.... of all things... Poopies*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, so that might be TMI, but mom had yet to officially witness ME using the new litter.  So far she's seen the 2 kittens, and I use the new box.  Although she wished she saw me do #1.  But hey, at least I went into the box with the new litter!!

Mom noticed the litter robot in the bedroom had NO #1 or #2's today... BUT the one in the spare bedroom was full.  In the past (2 months) we've all been in their bedroom with food, water, litterbox with the door shut so the kittens would cause a muck.  Fido hates being left out alone and that's why we did this.  We have an air refuser near the box, so no stinky.

She's wondering if we're all afraid to use the box in the bedroom, or rather, maybe I am afraid?? I did my pee on the heated bed yesterday which is  near the box in the bedroom.  It wasn't a matter of me not making it... The box had cycled, I did do my "thing" and the bed was 2 feet away.

The thing is, after I got drugs last time, I used the box in the bedroom.... Hmmmmm

She wants to make sure Fido and Boogie are using the new litter... ONE OF US 3 big dudes did as like I said before, there was a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE urine clump and that's usually one of us 3 dudes not the kittens.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So, mom just woke up an hour ago.  She had to catch up on sleep from yesterday.  Apparently 3 hours isn't enough....

Well, when dad got home, they went to PetSmart and bought 3 of the Feliway plugin things, 2 20 pound bags of the Cat Attract litter (red bag), and a bottle of Natures Remedy (white bottle, red lettering) in case there are any more pee spots.  I think that's what it's called.  

Then they left us to get groceries, got food on the way home.  Around 10pm, they unpacked things and noticed I was still drinking a lot of water.

Anyway, dad emptied the 2 litter robots, and filled them with the new litter.  It smells similar to Fresh Step, and also clumps.  Mom just now saw both kittens use it, and noticed there are some rather LARGE urine clumps (could be me or Boogie).

As for the Feliway? HOLY CATS! That made the entire family chill.  You'd swear it was Prozac or something!! Tiskers and Boogers around 1am were KNOCKED OUT!! Fido was calmer, and I came out from hiding.  It said that it's supposed to help reduce urinating and marking up to like 95% or something.  Mom also sprayed the spray around a few areas that I like to hide to calm me down.  

This morning mom noticed all 5 of us were Chillin'! Mom got some rest and so far, hasn't seen any pee spots.  But she did put away 90% of our beds.  She woke up to 5 cats on the bed with her :)

Thank you again for your purs.  Seems like an occasional marking from us dudes is common! I won't name any of my friends but 8 have come forward and that brought us some relief :) I'm hoping the blood results bring us a piece of mind.  It seems from what I"m told that if the urine doesn't come up with icky stuff, the blood will often show hidden things if there are any...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At 4:40 pm (a few minutes) I'm going to the vet.  Rue's mom suggested because I'm drinking more than normal to get blood work done for diabetes.  Mom noticed I'm drinking a TON but not using the box.  Oh no... Be back soon!

--
UPDATE: *pant pant pant* that's what mom's doing now! She has a hard time lifting up a 15 pound cat up 3 flights of stairs and she said if she was taller than 5'3" it would be easier! MOL

So I'll know my results by Monday Dr. Covlin said.  Mom wanted to meet him as she was impressed meowing with him on the phone.  I was also due for an annual exam in May but they changed it to today on my records.  I still need the Rabie shot in July though HISSSSSSSS.  I gave mom a FIT going into the cage.  I definately was traumatized from last time as I NEVER have problems getting into it.

They did a FULL blood poking/exam/thingie and are checking for diabetes, liver, kidney, you NAME IT! Last time we didn't get blood work done, but meowing with Simba and my Rue made mom just say "let's do it".  

The vet put some fleway in my cage and ON me (using a cotton ball) and mom bought a 75ml can of spray as she hasn't seen that at our PetSmart... Tonight she's getting 3 outlet plugins there.

He said to spray this near the litter box so it's not so stressful for me.  He said visually everything looks good and the fact that my urinalysis was squeaky clean.  He said the blood work is a good idea anyway because IF I needed some meds, something in my blood tests would help them determine what I would need.

Mom LIKED this vet.  She still doesn't care for the 3 female vets, but this guy was very thorough like Dr. Swartz, but this dude looked to be about 35 :) So that's great as we needed another vet as Dr. Swartz is closet o retiring.

Ok, I knead to pee... Been drinking a lot, you'd swear I was a water-holic! Oh and mom goes, "Hondo my bill was nice a big :) " and I said, "Just helping the economy" MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm clear and free of bacteria and infection and all that they look for in a urinalysis which is GREAT as last time, when I made that "noise" while using the box, my urine was filled with bacteria.

A male vet had left a message on our phone and is now on lunch, so mom asked that he call because she's clueless what to do next! I don't think it was spraying but again, my piddle in the cat bed (boogie is STILL mad), wasn't a puddle, but rather quarter sized drops in an 8 inch span.

I am so bummed.. Fido liked that bed too... Thank COD it wasn't the HP bed! I'm sure my entire family would have been upset! MOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom didn't much sleep again.  She heard me doing my thing in the litter robot, it cycled a few minutes later, and then she heard it.. "trinkle trinkle" and was like "I know he didn't just pee OUTSIDE the robot!"

Sure enough, I did... But to make matters worse, I peed in the heated bed that Boogers got from Skeezix and he was NOT happy! Mom had a urine sample cup handy, and pressed it against the wet fabric from the bed and got a good 1/3 of an inch worth.  

I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS!!! I've been eating, drinking, playing like normal! I have no idea!!! I just got a culture back a week or so ago, my urinalysis last time said I had bacteria.  Now I have another urinalysis test and I should have that back tomorrow.

Mom wrote our vet as he's not in until next month... AND THEN on top of it? A <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/737539"><b> **RUDE** </a></b> Cat (which I have contacted HQ about) said that my top video is too short to be a "top video".

MOL and then Alex and the Hot Dog Man cracked us up!!! Nikko we so have your bday marked in mom's calender!! There's a party I hope??? Lancelot is funny and all orange.. Dang, he makes Orange look hot like Calvin... Where as I (I admitit), was a scary orange! MOL!!!

Dad is off this weekend so mom is going to have him do voices for me so I can leave an authentic one on my friend's pages :) Mom tried to get her voice to go low furrr my manly voice, but she kept laughing... Dad's voice isn't like that FYI.  I think the kittens might get his real voice.  Fido is too busy missing his girl to care.... Tisk...]]></content:encoded>

Mom is so relieved! Dad was saying last night while watching a movie that he figured something was wrong as I was even more MIA a day or two prior to my "MROWWWWWWWWWW" episode.

Thank you again everyone furr your purrs! They helped me!!!

Also, Chrissy sent me a cute Vday card that just arrived today, along with $5 for BFAS to help sponsor a cat, and a fun blue ball! THANK YOU HON!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So a few said my dad was silly for his voice impurrrsonation of me on my Voki... I gotta agree with you on that! MOL but you see? We have all this extra time as I'm waiting furrr my culture to grow.

Any cats know how long that takes? Mom will call Monday.  In the meantime, I'm drinking a lot more which is good.  Mom sorta figured something was wrong when I wasn't busy drinking ALL the water... Again, my motto is FRESH WATER! Seriously, OUTTA MY WAY when mom cleans the drinkwells or adds water just for me :)

I'll keep you posted!!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Still waiting furr my your-in culture to be done growing... I knew there was a reason why I liked shopping more than Science!! I'll keep you all posted.  The good news is I'm drinking a LOT more.  I have always done my buisness normally at night (I don't like an audience), but last night when I went #1 and #2 while everyone was sleeping (sans mom--she's a light sleeper) she listened and did NOT hear me make noises... Of course, she can't see w/o contacts in and I burry my stuff IMMEDIATELY!! But thanks again for everyone's help about food and stuff!

I'll keep you posted!!! Happy Valentine's Day too! My newphew Murry is dating Paws now, Kashmere is engaged to Bells, and Baby-G and Ashley are engaged and both the twins had a Valentine :) Awwwwwwwww]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL!! Dad helped me with my voice on my voki! When I talk in my diaries about Rue Rue by saying "Rue Rueeeeeeeeee" now you can "hear" what it sounds like :) MOL! And when we hear Avril Lavigne's "Boyfriend" song, dad always jokes in the car by going, "Hey Hey Rue Rueeeeeee" :) If you listen carefully you can hear the music at the end!

Enjoy!

I'm waiting for my culture results, so they should be in ANY day.  I'm eating and drinking more, so that's good.  They haven't seen me do my thing in the box yet as mom is been sleeping for hours catching up on sleep.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Phew, no crystals! THANK COD! Mom is waiting to hear from the vet about another medicine that Simba suggested.  We're thinking that they aren't going to prescribe Baytril until they know what the culture says? So bring on the clavimox!

I have bacteria in my urine, so now we gotta wait for the culture results.  Mom was surprised that I was dehydrated and kneaded fluid therapy=Sub Q < 250 ml, but hey, if it works, then yay!

Still hanging low, but after 2 days I can FINALLY play with my brothers.  Being in a room by myself (aside from parents) was not so fun.  But it was the only way they could make sure the urine and poo was MINE and not theres... Thank you all again for your help! Mom is clueless about these things! Always had a dog until she got  married!

I hope my friend Mercy is ok too as she has the same thing as me right now.. :( We're UTI/Crystal/Urine buddies! MOL

*UPDATED* When I mean my urine was taken manually I mean the invoice says "Cystocentesis" which is through the bladder? Again, dad brought me as mom is trying to get sleep.  Still waiting to hear from the vet about a culture, but seems like Clavimox can help the bacteria.  We knead to find another vet furr when Dr. Swartz isn't in as mom so far is NOT impressed w/ the 3 females.  There are a few other males but they too have spotty scheduling... Nothing against the females, but the three here haven't been super duper you know.

And I guess VA is on fire according to my niece Allie? "See what happens when you don't pee?" MOL!!! We're ok, but time to check the news!!!]]></content:encoded>

This time, I haven't drank much fluids so I'm also getting re-hydrated and just fluids in addition to the vet manually taking my pee :(

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, finally went poo... I wasn't going to do it in that small amount of black plastic like vet litter, so again, I won in the battle to use the robot! No pee since I came from the vet and my last pee about 12 hours ago...

I just found out, Ambrogino's girlfriend's sister <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/95344"><b> *MERCY* </a></b> is going through the same thing as me right now and meds! Purrr furr her too!!! 

This Evo dry food is fantastic! I've gotten so many helpful pawmails about my situation... Gordy and Dutchess are on the same food as me now (I gotta mix mine w/ my old food though) for the same reasons!! $35 for a 15 pound bag or so is insanely priced, but if it prevents $1k bills, so be it!!! 

Once I pee, mom will rest better... Again, the new litter isn't helping me want to go pee... But we want to know soon so I can get the right anti-Bee-otics you know? 

I had no idea Clavimox could be used to help UTI's until it's confurrrmed.  Glad Mercy's vet suggested the same.  Mom just doesn't like other vets than Dr. Swartz, but of the 3 female vets at Clocktower? Dr. Penopolus (spelling) was their favorite!!  I just don't want a cathader for my pee! No surrreeee!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my lil' pee adventure early sorta messed things up at the vet office.. My bladder was empty.  Hard to tell with the First Alert UTI Detector Litter if my pee was big or small (it LOOKED small) as it's not clumpy, and the litter absorbs the pee.  But here's the run down.

The vet had to try and get pee from me... MANUALLY! Boy oh BOY did I cry!! Nothing.  So they gave mom some of this black looking litter that doesn't absorb or clump the litter to help give them a sample.

They don't think I have a UTI based on these facts:
1) I didn't cry today or yesterday when I went pee
2) The litter didn't change color

So we're testing for crystals peeps!! AHhhhhhhhhhh

I had my anal glands extracted which we thought only doggies did this! And that felt better! I also got a bottle Lactulose to help "loosen" things up when knead be.  

I also got some clavimox which I am to start using tonight AFTER I pee.  If I don't pee, then my pawrents can give it to me.  It'll help my pain and stop any infection until we can test furrr Crystals.

Mom and dad also just bought some Evo dry and canned as Rue Rue's mom was reading the ingredients to us and meowed how it is good furr crystals.  

We asked the vet (not our normal vet) straight up.  If you had to say what caused me pain, was it maybe the poo vs. crystals? And she said she can't say for sure but that's what came to mind... 

So I'll keep you posted.  Mom took an hour nap before the vet and kneads to sleep as she's going on 2 days w/ minimal sleep.  Thanks for your support and concern.  Stinks that I'm separated from my bros at night and day until I pee, but it's a must until I get a good sample.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, mom and dad did the happy dance as the "First Alert UTI Detector Litter" went yellow... HOWEVER.. Even though it's 25 hours since I last used the box, for the amount of water I drank, my pee was the size of... a 50 cent piece if that big.... Not big folks.

So now mom is going to contact Rue as her bro, Bellz, poops hard like me.  So maybe it's a combination of a pre-UTI and/or constipation issue that WILL be addressed!!!

Dang, good thing I'm married, my diaries of pee woe are NOT going to help get the ladies!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, now mom is worried... Past two days she has gotten 7 hours of sleep total... Vet opens at 10am and they're going to see if I can come in earlier...

No pee or poo on my end and that includes with my normal Litter Robot :( Mom was thinking since I'm not using the new litter that if I went in the regular box, she'd scoop that into the color changing litter, but I am proving to be difficult.

I'm very scared that I might have to have my pee taken out via suction or needle now... Dad thinks I'll be ok (I am sure I will be) but mom is worried and since she's overly tired, it's not helping.  

My motto has always been "fresh water" and what I mean by that is, when my pawrents refresh our drinkwell with brita water, I immediately drink like a camel.  She did that all last night and still I refuse to pee.   I'm purring when mom pets me, eating what appears to be normal, but no pee or box usage....

**nope, can't get in earlier, and my appointment is at 12:40 pm EST.  I just threw up too... **]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I last peed around, what... 10:30-11 am Saturday? It's Sunday on the east coast.  I'm iscolated from my family and the kittens are not happy about this.  

Mom had dad go to PetSmart on the way home to buy that color changing litter.  It'll turn green/blue if I have a UTI.  I have been eating and drinking normally.  Problem is the litter is a new texture and I'm not liking it yet.. It's like dry ice/foam, or styrofoam if you will... So if mom has to do "litter box patrol" for 48 hours straight? So be it.  She's not taking a chance.

I have not peed out the box, but am still active.  Mom is hoping I was just a bit constipated... If you were to visit me, you'd never know I was here, hence my nickname MIA.  

Thanks for your pawmails with suggestions! We do have dry out 24/7 and the past year we have been fed moist as a snack, but more so lately daily.  Although I don't get much moist due to the kittens and Boogie pushing me aside.  

I'll keep you posted.  Meantime, I'm sorry that Tiskers missed his party and Boogie missed Orca's bachelor party.  We NEVER miss parties and you all know that.. 

I'll pee eventually as when we got the litter robot, same thing happened with me.... I don't accept new things right away like Fido.  Boogie is like me, always hesitant to new things.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So while mom was googling and talking to the evil V-E-T employee's, mom heard me scratching at the litter box (I cover my junk right away!).  SO she checked the litter out and sure enough it was my usual HUGE potty clump.  I didn't make a sound while I did it...

So after talking with some catsters, mom thinks I was a bit constipated? Yes, it's true I poo hard... And sometimes grunt like a geezer when I do my thing.  So mom gave me extra chicken baby food as there was this one time, she gave me too much and I was farrrrrrrrrrrrrr from being plugged up if you get my drift...

Mom is having dad get some of that color changing litter that helps detect UTI's.  I'm going to be stuck in the bedroom at night with them and none of my brothers so we can make sure the junk is MINE not theirs.  

But I'm eating, playing, drinking normal.  Such drama no? Fitting for a divo...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Huh? So mom is monitoring me as she was woken up by the kittens followed by me going "Mrowwwwwwwwww".  She wasn't sure if it was poo induced or lack of pee.  I have NEVER done this, so this made her think of a you-tea-eye.

I generally poo hard.... But mom said my poo looked normal size.  I am eating, drinking, acting normal.  Just in case, mom made an appointment furrr me tomorrow.  She wants to monitor me first and is going to try and get a sample.  The evil vet that we hate is on staff today but the vet tech/receptionist said that yes, monitor me since I appear to be ok else wise.

I will try and pee furrr mom.  I heard that there are other ways of getting my pee.. Something involving needles or suction??]]></content:encoded>

OMC! I almost feel ill!!! Ok, so no offense to the cats that can sport pink (I'm all for pink as it looks VERY good on us grey tabbies) But danggggg! I don't think I would have made a good Orange cat!! I mean, look at me!! *gag*

More power to you who look good as an Orangie sportin' pink!! :)

*Update* MOL!! I got the funniest pawmail from Murray the First, that I MUST share!!!!

<b>"You need some angelic intervention - never dye your fur orange! It's not a good look on you.  *puts one wing over his eyes*"</b>

Here's what he has to say (hope he doesn't mind):

<b>"MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really started a sensation- almost a movement!! On Brilliant Orange Cats Unite, there is a thread with a link to your original diary entry about Gingers and Pink! It is followed by orangies saying they love pink!!! One said OH SO brilliantly that they go great together otherwise why would he have a pink nose!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Mol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"</b>

LOVE IT!!!!! Dang, I hadn't even thought of the nose bit! But it all makes sense! But then.. The cats who have spotted noses (have seen a few orangies with those) does that mean that THEY purrrsonally can't wear Pink???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *hangs head in shame* OH BOY OH BOY! I woke up to some emails from some of my orange cat friends and HOLY CATS!!! I was proved wrong! Orange and Pink do work on them orangie cats!!!

Furrr example, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/165328"><b> *TOFFY* </a></b> showed me a picture PROVING it works! WOW! He looks fantastic in pink!!

And then <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/568183"><b> *LANCELOT* </a></b> told me that he AND his mom sport pink with orange furrrr (hair on the mom of course! MOL).  But he brought up a good point... Pink has to work for everyone as pink is the color for breast cancer! Also red is a good color too as with Woman's Heart Disease coming up, we're supposed to wear Red! OMC! I have a red boa (I'll have to borrow the twin's boa, but that's just pillow talk).

And then I just got word from Calvin that this Friday is the Heart Disease/Wear Red day! I'm there! PHOTO SHOOT TONIGHT!!!

Gordy, fellow Yankee Fan, said that "PINK DOES NOT WORK WITH ORANGE CATS!!!"]]></content:encoded>

I gotta say a lot of you Toms look good in pink! HOWEVER, as a fashion rule, pink with orange cats doesn't look the best... Same goes furrr humans with red hair (ginger, orange, what ever).  This is a fashion NO NO!! Don't make me shop for you!!

She doesn't like a lot of German food though... I take after mom, we're both fussy eaters... She gets sick eating onions, I get sick eating rich foods.  She's not a snacker except for salt, and I like crunchy treats which are like chips no?

Me and Boogie don't chew the tails off, but Fido does on occasion, and mom doesn't want to take a chance with the lil' dudes... The lil' dudes don't seem to have noticed or mind, but seriously, they look funny now... Who has heard of a tailless mousie? Not me!!

Anymeow, I'm going to get my heart worm/flee medicine along with my brothers.  Speaking of which, mom kneads to buy a whole bunch for all of us... That stuff is expensive and seriously, once a month? Ugh... I know some catsters don't use that sort of meds, but a lot of our good friends do.  Our vet said half of all vets recommend it or don't.  Mom doesn't want to take a chance...

See, I spoiled my Rue so much that it's hard to do better THIS year! I gave her pink/white diamonds, a bling collar, and I think I even gave her pearls! Dang! I'm outta ideas!

Fido and Boogie have theirs all done... I'm working on mine, but Rue Rue was so cleaver last year.... She had replaced the chocolate in the candy box with mousies! GENIUS!!!! I have a few things up my sleeve, but man oh man... Gotta represent the Meezer community as they all know I go big.  Rue Rue brags about me :) MOL! I'm not a Meezer, but I have some Meezer friends and that's way cool!

I'm in a few Meezer groups and I gotta say them Meezers are WILD!!! I hear all these ancient stories about crossed eyed and Meezers with kinks in their tails! It's very educational too :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A few cats have emailed me about my song... It is in fact 100% RUE RUE singing! She sent that song to me along with a few pictures as an annifurrsary gift shortly after we started dating.  It's honestly her and how pawsome is that! I then figured out how to upload it to imeem.com and the rest is history.  It's my favorite song.  Her voice is so mesmerizing.  Dang, she is so talented :) *blushes* Oh how I love my Rue Rueeeeeeeee!!!]]></content:encoded>

I just read Rocky Ann's diary and her pawsome Hello Kitty group has this thing called "The Cathood of the Traveling Hello Kitty Head" where members send the head to each other and pose with it.  It's on it's way to the UK! While I didn't share the SAME head as the group did (mom bought mine before the idea of the traveling head came about as she wanted to make a HK costume for me--yeahhhhhhhhhhhh), I'm so proud to see us featured on <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.kittyhell.com/2008/01/02/the-cathood-of-the-travelling-hello-kitty-head/"><b> *HELLO KITTY HELL* </a></b>!

I wanted to wish all of my Catster friends a HAPPY NEW YEAR! My resolution as stated on my scroll is to try and expand my color palate.  I"ve liked Pink mainly because of Hello Kitty! But I'm going to try and add a few more colors like Violet and creme in my repurrrtoire.  

I just got "furrminated" by the kick-tail brush! Oooooooooh, I'm so ready for 2008!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!]]></content:encoded>

But I didn't write about this 3 days ago when it happened because I seriously thought I was hallucinating... No... I thought it was a cruel joke.. But it's not!!

Our HK tent is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!! Word is that mom AND dad took it down as the lil' dudes kept playing in it and making TOO much noise when mom tried to sleep! She's a light sleeper but c'mon!!

<b>BRING BACK THE HK TENT!!!</b> I might knead to start a pet-ition!! HISSSSSSSSS

I won't go as far as blaming the lil' dudes, but dang, me and my bros ALL liked to lounge in there... HMPH!]]></content:encoded>

Anymeow, I'm glad she's home as I get all sentimental when she leaves.. I rub against her and give her my big Hondo green eyes... Boogie ALWAYS cries and Fido could care less... The kittens are usually left playing so they don't notice...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is so domesticated lately.  A lot of it has to do with the fact that she's up in un catly times :) Many of you know she used to stay up till 3-4 am, get up at 1pm or so... Well, now she goes to bed by 11-midnight and gets up by 8am... She hasn't done this since High School and that was like almost 12 years ago!

Her weird schedule started during graduate school and has stuck until recently :) MOL! 

I hope all my friends have a great week! Watch Harry Potter will ya? And I hope all my friends who are in the ice/snow storms are ok!]]></content:encoded>

We're getting ready for Boogie's bday :) Again, like last year, he's complaining how he hates that his bday is so close to Catmas.  "I hope my friends can come! It's not fair that their humans are traveling!" I agree, but I remind him "Boogs, that means you get MORE FOOD AND CAKE" and then he realizes that I'm right (duh) and then he's all happy again :)]]></content:encoded>

My fantastic wifey wooo *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">RUE RUE</b></a>* surprised me today with 2 things!! The first was a lil' gifty to celebrate our 1 year annifurrsary together! You see, last year, December 5, 2006 we became an official couple :) We met through Boogie as he had picked her family for their Secret Santa in the Super Stroller group! Interestingly enough, that was her birthday too! 

Tomorrow is her 4th birthday and I'll be hosting an all day party for her (details to come soon).

Ok, so my annifurrsary gift contained: A most yummy bag of Greenies (Ocean Fish), an "Angry Bird" toy (he looks angry!) and a CUTE Tinkerbell headband that you see on her main picture on her cake!! Coooooooool!!

And now for my Catmas gifts! OMC! Inside was a litterfull of pawsome goodies!
-Catmas card with her entire family on the front and a Rue Rue card :)
-A blue Build A Bear Argoyle sweater 
-A pink shirt that says "My Hero"
-A pawsomely FANTASTIC PINK BUILD A BEAR ROBE! *squeals*
-Kitty Kisses (Cat treats) in a cute holiday candy box
-Rue Rue magnet (purrrrrrrrrrrr)
-Pastel "Flirty Birdies" toys
-A lil' bobble head "Pet Shop" cutie cat!
-Max Cat Albacore Tuna treats
-And a way cute cat stocking filled with: 3 plastic toys, and a cute red heart catnip pillow

OMC! THANK YOU SO MUCH RUE RUE!!! I have the bestest wife in the world! Pics to follow in a bit!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooo! This is the bestest brush we have yet!!! Mom was told from someone that she should buy this cool brush as it gets all the yucky dead hair from the undercoat.  So she ordered it and we must agree, that this is the bestest brush ever! It doesn't get much fur from Boogie and Fido, but me? HOLY CATS! The time mom got done brushing me, we had a mini Hondo laying on the floor :)

It's supposed to be extra good for med-long haired cats and they aren't kidding! I think I lost 3oz of fur! It'll come in handy for our baby bros.  

Normally I play bite the brush after a few minutes as I get bored (but I'm purring, so I like to make it harder for mom), but this brush I actually wait my turn as I love it! Me and Boogie are like an assembly line waiting to get brushed!

MOL!]]></content:encoded>

I'm eating, doing my bizzznessssss, drinking plenty, just achewwwwwwwww.  I don't know why... Boogie still sneezes as we believe he'll have that the rest of his life due to that terrible respurrratory infection he had when we adopted him, but at least he's not wheezing... Fido never gets sick... NEVER... What gives???

Achewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love Rue Rueeeeeeeeeeeee!! *blush*

Oh she got my birthday gift today too! I can't wait to see pics and the movie she pawmissed!!!! Also my newphew Murray celebrates his bday Dec 1st, and he got his gift today but can't open it as my niece (and Fido's girlfriend) hasn't gotten her gift yet, but when she does, THEN they can open them (Miles is a tough cookie).

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, being I'm a divo and demand order and things to go "my way", I can sympathize with mom.... You see, she's so dang organized that she has our Catmas cards ready to go out after Turkey Day!! MOL!!! We did in fact run out of cards from Shutterfly, so 25 of our friends get the Shutterfly version, and about 5 others get a special card we made with pics too... Dang, that stunk... We had to randomly pick the friends who got the special cards.  Mom was so mad that she was short 5 cards... She said bad words... :) Seriously, she thought she had planned it out purrrfactly but nope!

Also, we're so organized (mom and I) that we mailed out Rue Rue's bday gift today! We just don't want to take chances... You see, last Catmas, Picasso's family sent us a gift and it took 3 weeks to get here... Mail is evil... Even though Rue's bday is Dec 5, better to be safe than sorry! 

We even got Allie and Murray's gift out (My nephew and niece).  The only other gifties we knead to buy are for our brother Boogers who turns 4 on Dec 23 :) Oh and dad turns 28 I think (ummmmmmmmmm) Nov 25 :) 

Oh, and we're SO organized that mom has our two new brothers' background, bios, banner, and codes ready so she can just plug them in! She wants to spend time with the cats not fighting our computer :) MOL]]></content:encoded>

Things here are going well.  We are counting down the days until our brothers come home! Mom keeps dreaming about them :)

She can sorta tell the difference more now that she studied the pics.  It'll be interesting when we set up their catster pages as knowing our luck, we'll post a few Mittens pictures on Tiskers' page, and vice versa :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First off, I'm up way to late... Mom crashed and burned around midnight as she's getting over a cold.  So of course, Boogie woke her up just now by kneading on her and purrring :) Works like a charm!

Anyway, shopping time!! *claps furry paws* Oooooooooo! Tonight after work mom and dad are going to PetSmart where they plan to do major damage.  You see, in about 2 weeks we get our brothers! So we knead a few things....

The plan is to buy a few more of those nice heavy food dishes, a new crate (we have cloth ones for the vet, but in case they get the runs, we knead another hard plastic one), LITTER, tons of kitten dry (Pro Plan, and Nutro is what we'll feed those rug rats), drink well filters, and that should do it! That outta be a nice bill :) 

Mom only gets litter when dad is available to LIFT it as they buy the 40 pound tub thingies... She can lift that, so <b>stop</b> dissin' my mom for being a wimp (hehehe), but she's sorta short, 5'3" and lifting that 40 pound tub into the cart is a pain...

FUN!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi folks! The past few weeks we have received a few invites to Group Catmas Gift Exchanges, but this year, our entire family won't be participating, including groups we Admin or participate in.  We will be giving our girlfriends gifts, but that is it.  However, <b>ALL</b> our besties will be getting a pursonal Catmas card that is in the works :) 

The reason I'm posting this memo in my diary (along with groups we Admin) is because we would feel so guilty if someone bought us a gift and we didn't give one in return.  Catmas of course is not about gift giving, but I would feel bad you know? YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS THE BEST GIFT!!!!

We honestly, in the past 1+ years on catster, have accumulated SO many gifts from friends from Birthdays or just because.  We appreciate these and you have all made our toy chest huge! Don't get me wrong, we LOVE giving gifties for Bdays or just because!! But last year was quite costly giving to our besties and I'm thinking you all have TONS of toys... Am I right?  We would rather have you use your money to help feed animals this Catmas you know?

I hope you understand our concerns and wishes.  It is nothing personal, just wanted to give my friends the heads up.

Now, if you're thinking of foisting off your free Pink clothes?? NO NO!! I AM KIDDING!!! :) NO NO! DON'T! MOL!!!

It was very unexpected, and naturally his family is devastated.  It's a good reminder that we are not on this earth forever.  I am at a loss for words... My thoughts and purrrs go out to his family.  I know he is looking down on his family and is greatly missed not only at home, but on catster...  Until we meet again buddy... :(

Mom spent 8 hours yesterday cleaning.. Our house isn't messy, but mom got rid of a lot of stuff and organized our file cabinets, and dad helped too! We have to clean the spare bedroom a bit (paper everywhere) and the bedroom shelves.. Other than that our home is SUPER CLEAN! We're cleaning and baby proofin' our home for when the babies come :)

Hope my friends are all doing well!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Mom and Dad got home really late and not only did they meet Picasso's mom and dad, our 2 brothers Mittens and Tiskers, and Biscotti, but they came home with a new condo! MOL!! 

But back to the important stuff!!! Mom and dad had such a pawsome time meeting Auntie Barb and Unkie Rob!! They were so nice and fun to hang with.  Mom loved meeting the breeder Lisa as she was also so very nice! Her husband makes condos so mom bought one :)

My pawrents couldn't believe how soft the babies were!!! Lil' fuzz balls! Our brothers stick close to one another while Biscotti (Picasso's bro) is a lil' whipper snapper! He likes to chew cords and mom and Barbi were laughing (more my mom than Barbi). MOL!!

Also while in PA, Auntie Barbi gave mom some gifts for me, Boogers, and Fido! We got:

3 cans of Fancy Feast Medley's, a crinkle ball, a fishie squeaky toy, Greenies, a catnip pillow made by Auntie, and a Trash Can Treats toy (strawberry).

The breeder Lisa gave mom and Barbi a matching cat print scarf! It's sooooo pretty!

Then Auntie also gave mom and dad: Candy Corn, and a beautiful scented sachet!! 

We cannot wait to bring them home Nov 24th!! 

<b>Edited: We know who's who in person as one has a brown leg in the back, but for now, we believe the cat with a bigger head is Tiskers.  He's also darker and we think for now, has more black on his nose.</b>

PS we also received a Halloween card from Skeezix and family! We got their Yabba-Dabba-Doo Halloween Card!! Thanks!

Also we got some more food from our besties Murray, Willie and Pearl!! Dang we gotta move to their crib! MOL! Thank you!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You heard it right... So originally we were getting one brother as the Bi Color (white stripe down the face) was going to Picasso's family.  Another family was ahead of us and got the next pick of one of the mitted but they recently backed out having wanted the Bi Color... So there were two... Now, we know the two are insepurrrable as seen in the pics.  So dad wanted from day one to get two (Mom found out about this Oct. 24!!) so after a long meow, mom gave in and we're getting two, so yes, the rumors are true :)

The lighter dude is Mittens and the daker dude is Tiskers.  Dad had a cat named Whiskers as a kid, and they called him Tiskers...

<b>UPDATE ON OUR TWO BROTHERS!!! Thank you everyone furrr asking about them and being excited for us!! Tomorrow (Sat October 27) Mom and Dad head off to PA to meet them and Auntie Barb!! (Picasso's mom).  We are ONLY visiting them and they won't be home yet... They're coming home late Nov when we drive up there again after staying at Auntie's house in NJ</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooo we got more pictures of our soon-to-be brother Mittens!! We should know what one is our bro (even though they look identical) in 3 weeks or less.  Picasso's mom is visiting them October 27, and then shortly after the other family picks out their black nosed baby.  We'll get what ever one they don't choose.  We can hardly wait! It'll look a lot like Snowmitts!! Oooooooooooooo!

Dang, I won't be the fluffiest cat in the house anymore.  I hope me and Mittens become besties as Fido and Boogers are inseparable.  That's ok as I plan to teach Mittens how to be a divo and high maintenance :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow! Boy do our friends know us well!!! We also got two packages today! One was from our bestie 
*<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=318399&j=t">COLLEEN</b></a>*! Inside was a very cute Halloween card and 3 cute catnip filed toys! Both me and Fido are sorta mad at Boogie! He took control of the toys before we even got to explore! I do believe the package was addressed to: Boogers, HONDO AND FIDO!! MOL Thanks so much! Sorry Colleen, me and Fido didn't get to pose with your gift, but Boogie did!

The second package came from our besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=296223&j=t">SAMMIE AND KIKI</b></a>*  ! They spoiled us! Inside a cute Halloween package was a black pom pom with a string on it (Fido chewed the string already---evil), greenies, some plastic curly toys to play with , and 3 mousies!! OMC!! I have always been the one cat in the family who loves these lil' toys! I don't know why but they are fun to play with in the bathroom and kitchen! Thank you guys so much!!

Anyway, we might not be as active on Catster furrr a few days... We'll be in full swing again Monday though!!! Happy Weekend friends!]]></content:encoded>

That was unintentional! These are cuteeeeeeee! But where are the gray cats and Hello Kitty cats? Ok Ok, so those two aren't very Halloweenish... But still... Give the gray cats some props!

Also, thank you to the annoymousie rosette giver who said in the black cat rosette:
"Watch out I can mess you up with my magical powers! I love to get into high techy things, even computers. Ringing Bells are your only defense." YIKES!!! If this is a threat, I'll send Fido after you! MOL!!! Hmmmmmmm I wonder who this is! I noticed a few of my friends received the same message! DOM DOM DOMMMMM!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HOLY CATS!!! Ok, furrrst I'll meow about the two packages I received today from our besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366075&j=t">KASHMERE AND CO</b></a>*.  The first one had my name on it.  It was a small wedding gift and inside was a bag of premium catnip and a cool lil' mousie toy on a string! I heard that Rue Rue got the pink one and I got the blue one :) 

The second package from them was a Halloween gifty! We got 2 home made catnip pillows, a green glittery fluffy ball and a black mousie with orange furrr on what would be it's tail! MOL!! I was going nuts with the catnip pillow.  I just got done with my photo shoot, so I'll post pics when my brothers finish their diaries.  <b>Thank you Kashmere and Co!!!!</b>

The 3rd package was from our besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=365407&j=t">MURRAY, PEARL and WILLIE</b></a>*! They keep hooking us up with some new yummy food we've never tried! After the recalls, it's scary picking out one's food! But these are all good ones!! We got tons of Nutro Natural Choice Dry, Solid Gold Dry and Moist, and Wellness indoors! MEOW! We can't wait to try the food! <b>Thanks so much!</b>

Our shipment of Wild Side Salmon treats didn't come today like FedEx said they would... But when they do, we already told Pearl and family that we got them some yummy natural treats!! 

What an exciting day!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Anymeow... I received two great packages today from my wife *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">RUE RUE</b></a>* and my father-in-law *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404464&j=t">ASHLEY</b></a>* today in the mail!!

Rue Rue sent me 3 mousies (orange, white, black) and the ends of the tail is in the shape of an arrow (like a devil) MOL I also got a cute black cat/snow globe with 2 pumpkins on the side! PAWSOME!! And now for the scary part.. I got a black plush "Screaming Scardy Cat"! If you squeeze it's sides it makes SCARY LOUD NOISES!! Mom was laughing at me as I went *POOF*! She tried to take a picture but it's blurry... Maybe we'll show it later... THANK YOU SO MUCH RUE RUEEEEEE!

And then the 2nd package was from Ashley, my father-in-law! He sent me a HUGE bag of Greenies (one of my favorite treats!!!) and a scary spider!!! If you pull the string from it's butt, it shakes and vibrates!! This reminds me of my recent video of me staring down the spider on the ceiling--that's still ON the ceiling as Dad hasn't gotten it off yet... hmmmmmmm

THANK YOU GUYS!!! I'm hoping our gifts go out next week!! We have to finish wrapping them.  Dang thumbs, or lack of!! Our girls got their gifts already, but our besties knead a lil' Halloween fun!!! 

Pictures will follow later this week when my mom isn't so sick...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HOLY CATS! Ok, ignore that it's 5:10 AM EST.  That shouldn't be a surprise to those who know me :)

But Fido and Boogie were in our pawrents bedroom, and I was chillin' with mom.  And she took out the laser pointer... OMC!!! Normally I stare at it like "This is boring" and watch Boogie and Fido make a fool of themselves by running up and down and around our home.  But since they were not present, I got laser time to myself! This NEVER happens as Boogie and Fido ALWAYS interrupt my playing sessions!!!!!!! Which annoys me as I'm a divo, and I just stop playing and watch.

But not this time...

I was going in circles SO dang fast that mom was laughin' her tail off! My tail kept going *POOF* and all fluffy!! It was so much fun! But then Boogie and Fido came and I stopped... 

Oh well, fun while it lasted! I have on occassion did a pawsome Tom Cruise impurrrsonation like he did in his skivies in that one movie....  You know, the one where he slides on his socks and in his undies? MOL!!! "Risky Buisness?" Is that it??]]></content:encoded>

So we've decided no matter if we get one of the two Mitted Raggies, or the one Seal Point BiColor, we'll name our new brother Mittens.  Mom likes that name and it'll be purrrfect if we get the Mitted Raggie! Even if we get the BiColor one, we'll keep it "Mittens".

Our grandpawrents are coming up next month we think... It's still hard, but each day it's easier on our mom... That's all that matters to me :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So me and my new wife *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">RUE RUE</b></a>* are on our way to our honeymoon to *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z14/BoogersHondoFido/Wedding%20for%20Hondo%20and%20Rue%20Rue/jpma.gif">JAPAN</b></a>*!!!

You see.. We decided to elope... As much as Rue Rue wanted a big wedding, the one important detail she had to have was for her daddy *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404464&j=t">ASHLEY</b></a>*  to give her away.  As many of you know he's been sick but thankfully is doing better!! 

I always pawmissed my Rue Rue I'd do what ever she wanted :)

So we decided tonight to elope at La Chat.  It was a nice small ceremony and *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=354611&j=t">RIVER AND FAMILY</b></a>*  and *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=353877&j=t">MILES AND FAMILY</b></a>*  surprised us and were able to attend for most of the ceremony!!!

So now I'm writing from our new lap top that my pawrents bought us as we jet set off to Japan.

We plan on having a reception party in a week so we'll keep you all posted :)

Oh and here's a picture of my new platinum *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z14/BoogersHondoFido/Rue%20Rue/gi_WF-4058_f.jpg">WEDDING BAND</b></a>* !!! Polish edge with satin brush center :) And for you cats who know your jewelry, Rue Rue didn't get a band as she's an active meezer and having two bands on such cute small paws makes a tight fit...]]></content:encoded>

I gotta agree with *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=95354&j=t">OLY</b></a>* in that I'll join her by sitting on future cats until they beg furrr furrrgiveness if they say that again to me or my friends! MOL!!! So what, are long haired cats fat even at 9 pounds??? *rolls eyes*

I hope you all have a great week!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, some cat had said in our video "My dad the hero" that us cats were "really fat" but I know while Boogie can loose a few pounds, I'm 12-13 pounds and my vet said it was GOOD :) That doesn't bother us, but what I'm happy to report is that it's true! While I may look chubby, it's all fur! A curse of being a medium hair cat.  I'm no way a short cat, our vet agreed.  But mom put a tux on me today and I'm happy to report I'm a bit fluffy! The tux barely fit and the bottoms were NO WAY going to get on my bottom! MOL!!!

It pays to be fluffy! Gosh I hate ignorant cats...

UPDATE: Catster removed that mean post :) YAY!]]></content:encoded>

Had Boogers not have drawn your name in the Secret Santa, we might not have met!!!! In my paw, I have your engagement ring.  I know you have allergies, so if you're like my mom, you're allergic to most metals except platinum.  So I have this princess diamond for you as you're my princess... I hope you will make me the happiest cat on Catster and marry me :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Holy Catnip! You'd think I'd already own Hello Kitty BandAids... NOT!! But I do now!

Rue Rue had sent me a 9 month annifurrsary gift along with a few extras due to my sneezies... Well inside I got: 3 black mousies, HK band-aids, a "CritterBug" laser pointer (Ooooooooooooo), two things of Tiki Cat food (MEOW this is the best food ever!), and a pair of chop sticks and fork and spoon with napkin! MOL

You see... I'm like my mom... I can't master the art of Chop Sticks! MOL So I knead a fork like my mom... Dad makes fun of mom but she says "I have small hands!" MOL

The food is delish! I have <b>NEVER EVER</b> attacked food like this! I'm actually quite picky! But mom opened up the Tiki food and I about mauled her down! MOL 

I just ate this pink can that had Tuna! Mmmmmm but I can't remember the flavor as dad just took the trash out.. Dangit... 

THANK YOU RUE RUE MY LIL MOOOOOOOO SHOOOOOOOOOO]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YAY! I'm back!! 

Ok, furrrst the bad news... Dang, I didn't do my morning buisness so now my weight is 13 pounds 7 oz... Still, I lost a pound no matter what from a year ago!

Now the GOOD news! I got some meds!! I got some Clavamox 62.5mg and Chlorpheniramine 4mg furr my sneezies.  My pawsome vet Dr. Swartz said that the reason I wasn't given meds was it was a viral infection, and like Rue Rue's mom said, often you don't get meds furr that.  So to make sure I get better, Dr. Swartz gave my mom some meds.  He did agree that as long as we don't see green=GOOD!

I even got my picture taken with my vet!!

Dr. Swartz appologied that we weren't happy with our last visit and cut our fee in half which is fine being that we were there furrr almost 50 minutes talking.  You see, his daughter just had a baby and that's where he was :) He showed us pictures too! 

Phew... Mom and I feel much better as we really love our vet Dr. Swartz, semi retired.  He's the only vet in our area to ever heal Boogers.

Pics to come soon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, I weigh 12 pounds some odd ounces!!! Boogers' in disbelief!! MANY think I weigh as much or more than Boogies, but I am a Medium hair cat.  Borderline... But I do weigh 4-5 pounds less than Boogers!!! I actually weigh less than Fido if you can believe that.  I'm not lying when I say I'm fluff!!!

I think Boogers gained the 2 pounds I lost in the past year :) HEHEHE

Boogie is jealous... I get treats 4x a day too! And he only likes treats at night (kaviar and cod).  Poor dude... 

Trust me, I'm a divo and I care about my weight.. But I like my girl Rue Rue healthy! MROWW she's purrrfect!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just wanted to say again that I appreciate all the support and concern furrr my sneezies... *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">RUE RUE'S MOM</b></a>* called mine and they talked about why I might not have gotten meds... Mom had Dad tell the Vet that I was eating and drinking, and that's why we might not have gotten meds.  Rue Rue's mom was a Vet tech once.  I'm still sneezing, not as much as yesterday but more than we'd like... HISSSSSSSSS

Mom made a <b>NEW</b> appointment on Monday furrr me in case, with our GOOD vet.  Paranoid? Maybe, but she loves me :)

Today we received a small package from our besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366026&j=t">COCOA AND CO!!</b></a>*! Inside were two small catnip socks that their mom made! She's getting SO GOOD at these!! Pictures to follow soon!!

THANK YOU! WE REALLY APPRECIATE OUR FRIENDS!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, mom just got done helping me send thank you's out to all my friends who were worried about me.  Thank you oh so much, that meant a lot to her! She was sorta snippy today at work as her mind was on me instead... Dad took me to the V-E-T while she went to work.

I'm doing ok... Nothing serious as far as we know... Our regular vet, Dr. Schwartz is da bomb... But he is not in until Monday :( Mom didn't want to wait that long so she took whom ever... 

I have NO MEDICINE TO TAKE! Mom is very annoyed... I know my girl Rue Rue will agree as meowmies tend to get more information and ask more questions at the vet's office than daddies... So mom has been quizzing dad since she got home 10 minutes ago... "WHAT NO MEDS?!?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN WAIT TILL GREEN SNOT COMES?!"

So this viral infection I have (not kitty cold--even though mom thinks it is) will "go away" and turn my snot into green yuckies if it is something serious... Why not pink like Rocky Ann said?!?

And when the stuff turns to green, that's when we will call and get antibiotics... I even felt so bad that I did a #2 by the box... (Mom was told this by dad and I swear, this was the first and ONLY TIME this happened). *turns crimson*

<b>THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT I LOST 2 POUNDS since last year!! WOOHOOOO!!!</b> Boogie is like 6-7 pounds heavier than me, although I look fatter! SWEET! I'm 12 pounds some odd oz now!!!

<b>THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURRS AND SUPPORT!! *HUGS*</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh no... Mom is going on about 3 hours of sleep... You see, I sleep next to her or on the chair near the bed.. And mom being a light sleeper kept hearing, "ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW" ALL night long... It started late last night, but then it kept her up... Not good...

I have a V-E-T (WHA??????) appointment at 6:20 tonight but with a different vet from the same office... Ours won't be in until Monday, and mom didn't want to wait till then...

It's probably a kitty cold, but I feel most unlike Hondosan Potter HK Loving today... :(

Sowwy mom that I kept you up... ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW ACHEW 

Mom even took a pic of me mid sneeze and I look worse than a dog, if pawsible..

Anyway, Thank You again *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=339606&j=t">SIMBA</b></a>*!!!   Sorry I'm not in the  pics! I'm camera shy after the trauma with the Hello Kitty Head! MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HOLY CATNIP!!!

Thanks to everyone who sent me pawmails, treats, rosettes and a star furr my DDP!!! Go figure the one silly post I submitted, is the DDP! Yup, me in my glory battling Mr. Drinkwell! MOL oh well, cats outta the bag!!

I got some cool surprises today!!!

Furrst, I heard a knock at the door this morning, but let my dad answer it while I snoozed w/ meowmy.  (details about this to come).  So then we roll out of bed at 3pm (hush!!!) and dad comes back in from outside with two packages!!!

The furrrst one we opened was from our bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">PICASSO</b></a>*.  He had sent us a thank you card in reguards to his birthday, and inside were TWO home made catnip pillows! Their mom (our Auntie Barbi) has been so domesticated lately! MOL They are way cute! We are waiting fur our photographer to come!!  But the fabric is so cute! There were tux cats on the print! These are pawsome! THANK YOU!!!!

Next we saw we had a big envelope from *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=283044&j=t">CALVIN AND CO</b></a>*.  Inside was the most magnificent magazine ever!!! A SPECIAL EDITION about HP printed by Entertainment Weekly!!! OMC!! *faints* I was meowing to them that we knead our meowmy to subscribe to this magazine! MOL HOLY HARRY POTTER!! I am in my glory! I have to read it soon as mom just got back from work (I can't turn pages by myself).  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

And now back to the package that I just opened up! It was from none other than Ms. Glompity herself, *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=339606&j=t">SIMBA</b></a>*!!  Homegirl's been so busy, that things happen with post (no worries!).  But she sent me so many cool things! A tunnel/crinkle bag, pounce treats, catnip balls, TONS of mousies! (Boogers took one!!!! :(  refillable catnip toys, a HUGE mousie, and a cute card! HOLY CATNIP! And she also sent me 40 zealies!!! Homegirl! YOU ROCK! THANK YOU!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks to my bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=339606&j=t">SIMBA</b></a>*  she has given my mom some cool links which are also in her diary! So, like a true Harry Potter fan, one must know 3 key components: House, Wand, and one's Patronus!

First, to begin your magical studies, you must be sorted into a house.  There are four.  The house I would be in is <b>Hufflepuff</b> according to the link below.  This is so appropriate as I'm a lover, not a fighter.  I'm a gentle cat!! You can see what house you're in *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://sorting-hat.com/sorthatq.htm">HERE</b></a>* 

Next, you are given a wand which you'll need before you attempt spells.  Here's my wand results from *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://www.okcupid.com/tests/5113933298354864703/Harry-Potter-Wand">THIS</b></a>* website:

<b>10 3/4", Ash, Veela</b> Same as Boogers!

Last, now that you are in a House, and have your wand.  What's your Patronus? You can find out *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert('Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.');" href="http://rumandmonkey.com/widgets/toys/namegen/1282/">HERE</b></a>*.  My Patronus is a <b>Python</b>!! MEOW! That's scary!!]]></content:encoded>

Sorry my family has been MIA for a few days in groups.. So not like us, but you see?  Mom has been playing the NEW Harry Potter Order of The Phoenix game furrr PS3 lately!!!! 

She's a bit confused so if you can help?? She battled Voldy at the end of the Dept of Minestry, yada yada... She said the fight scene was very Matrix!!! And now she's back at Hogwarts trying to find Luna's 5 belongings... Now the game said we're 70% done.. Does 100% mean you've found all the small irrelevant things??

Anymeow... Just wanted to let my buddies know I'm A-OK and we should start writing in our diary's more often now as well as being more active in groups.  Mom had a bad BAD cold and is starting to feel better.... I will admit it was nice being home w/ her all week:) We got lots of bonks and lovies from her.  I love playing V-E-T with mom! TLC goes a long way!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

The package was sent back in April but evil post stinks... Especially international mail.  I got a HK pin that I put on Boogie's stroller, a paw breaker (like the human jaw breaker), a rubber ballie with weird tenticals, a big red mousie, a nip sardine, and a cute card with a cat on the front.  Then inside was something for my mom's 29th birthday.  She got a funny card, Milo and Otis DVD, and a very pretty HK frame! Thank you so much Sydney and family!]]></content:encoded>

I got this adorable pink HK card, a catnip purse (watch out mom, my collection is right behind your purse collection), an Eek mousie.  Fido claimed the feather toy that attaches to our door knob, and he also claimed the 2 yarn balls.  But how dare he and Boogie try and snatch the Meow Mix treats!!! Charlie and his family are one of our Meow Mix lovin' friends.  Can you blame him? Thank you so much!! Pictures to follow soon!

Also, Charlie's family has been celebrating all week! First his birthday and then on the same day? His sister Chloe was COTW!!! YAY!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nope, no green paw in my blood.  That's one trait I lack being a Divo and all... I just posted pictures of my 2 crops of grass made pawsible by *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=306360&j=t">SMUDGE</b></a>* and *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=283044&j=t">CALVIN'S FAMILY</b></a>* ! They sent me grass to grow!!! YES!!

Only problem? I think I inherited my meowmy's genes... She can't keep plants alive.. That means the one you sent *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=339606&j=t">SIMBA</b></a>*??? Yeah... It's browner than you know what!!

Heck, I'm NOT kittenin'!! My mom even KILLED a cactus!! She knew not to water it often, but she figured 30 days is too long! So she watered it, only to hear her roommate in college, laugh her TAIL off as the cactus was a deep brown, and limp! MOL

The story with the grass in the pink bowl (from Calvin) is that... Uh.... Me and Boogie knocked it over one day when mom was on the phone w/ *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=411606&j=t">PICASSO'S MOM</b></a>*.  How embarrassing!! Barb heard mom go, "BOOGIE! HONDO!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! #)%(@_!# grass and dirt is EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!"

OOPS!! See, our family has a brown paw, not green paw... But thankfully it is growing!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!! *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=318399&j=t">Colleen</b></a>* surprised me with my 3rd EVER HK plush doll! This cutie is in a cup cake holder!! Oh she is SO cute!!! And I even got an adorable birthday card, and two Hello Kitty buttons!! Even though I'm not a Super Stroller like Colleen, Boogie and Fido said I could put one on their ride! The other is going next to my growing HK collection! <b>THANK YOU</b> Pics to follow soon!

We have some HK dolls in our home, but those are mom's and she won't let me play rough with them... But now I officially have 3 of my OWN Sanrio plush dolls!! My mom got a HK doll from RA and her meowmy furrr my mom's birthday last month, but again, it's not mine.   (I do play with it at times and mom just laughs).

I officially broke in our Litter Robot!! I tried it after holding my bladder fur 22 hours.  Mom was getting worried so dad shoved me IN the thing and was coaching me and helping me get used to it.  I ran out of there ASAP!!! But while mom was getting ready, she saw me use it... :)

Eeeeeeee my birthday is soon!!!!! I'm already getting rosettes and stars as some of my friends will be gone this weekend due to Memorial Weekend...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooo It's so much work being a Divo!!! I got done with an exhausting photo session as I was showered with Birthday Gifts today! OMC!

Let's see, where to start?? I'll start with the first gift I opened.  My besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=410123&j=t">Tux and Bella</b></a>* surprised me with not one, but two PAWSOME Hello Kitty blankets! And it gets better! They were wrapped in a <b>PINK</b> bow, and on each blanket, they had my name engraved in <b>PINK</b>!!! I have a growing HK collection and ME LIKEY!!!  HOLY CATNIP BANANA!!! Thank you guys!!!!

Meowing of Banana, my next gift had a banana inside!! My besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366075&j=t">Kashmere and Co.,</b></a>* spoiled me too! I received a catnip stuffed banana, and I ran like the wind with that! When I came back, I saw that I had a 1 oz tub of Kaviar, a glittery birthday card, a yellow birdie purse that I can fill with catnip, a little crinkle ball in the shape of a turtle, and a self groomer!! This is pawsome as the hard one I bought sometimes is too rough.  This is a nice soft rubber in the shape of a mousie! I bet Picasso had something to do with this gift... <b>THANK YOU GUYS!!!</b>

Next I received a pawsome gift from my other besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=173891&j=t">Andre and N'Bikay</b></a>* sent me, not one, not two, but THREE catnip mousie toys!!! I was munching on one of the tails during my photoshoot, but was told to "Knock it off".  *hmph* MY MOUSIE!!! And I got a card too to add to my cards!!  <b>THANK YOU GUYS!!</b>

Last, I received a gift from my besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=296238&j=t">Sammie and KiKi</b></a>* .  I saw the most beautiful <b>PINK</b> boa!! Wait, it's my first! I gotta work it man!! And then I also got a catnip toy to play with (Fido ran off with this though.... HISSSSSSSSS), and a green heart shapped pillow with <b>BRIGHT PINK</b> lettering meowing "HOT STUFF"! Dang right I am!!! I'm a DIVO!!! Also the card was cute as it reminds me of me and a can of Cheese Whiz! But this cat had whipped creme on it's nose.  MOL <b>THANK YOU GUYS!!</b>

The last gift was NOT furr me!!! It was something I ordered furrr my girl Rue Rue and it came to OUR place! UGHHHHHHHHHHHH! Dang...

THANK YOU EVERYONE FURRR MAKING MY BIRTHDAY KICK TAIL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!!!  Four packages came today and they were for meeeeeeeeeee!!

Where to start!! Ok, let's see... The first package I opened today was from *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=283044&j=t">Calvin, Violet and Samoa</b></a>*.  Not only am I Calvin's Pal of the Week? But they surprised me with a pink/purple/blue card with a cute cat on the front! And I also got a kick tail package of Cat Grass from them! I can't wait to grow it! <b>THANK YOU SO MUNCH, I MEAN MUCH!!!</b>

Next, I got a package from *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=56398&j=t">Mercy and family</b></a>*!!! I got a bag of groceries and they weren't the HUGE size our humans get, but a bag of groceries furrr cat's like us! Inside was a soft plush bottle of milk, one grey fish, and a red chicken/bird! MOL and I also got this beautiful bandanna/neck wear that has all these pretty purples/blues/greens with beads furr me to admire! <b>THANK YOU SO MUCH!</b> I'm a full fledge D-I-V-O now!

Now this last gift from my bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">Rocky Ann</b></a>* comes with a story or two.... You see, Rocky Ann had sent me a gift 10 days ago via "Priority Mail", aka "Will arrive 2-3 days".  Poor girl was all worried that she didn't waste time and she ordered a "Backup gift"!! What a sweetie! I have yet to NOT receive a piece of mail from my friends, but sometimes the mail system stinks like litter...

But oddly enough her backup gift arrived furrrst today at around 11am.  Dad signed furrr it as mom was fast asleep.  So I didn't know about it until 2pm! Inside RA sent me a PINK cat tent!! I haven't gotten my bodacious body in there yet but I plan to sleep in there today.  <b>FIDO AND BOOGERS?! THIS IS NOT YOURS!!</b>

Now furrr the 4th package which was RA's original gift to me.  I got a Hello Kitty card that wished me a birght and happy day, a HK patch, a pink Yeowwww catnip pillow, 2 HK balloons, one of which I can purrrsonalize with my name with stickers, a HK cheerleader plush that shakes her pom poms when you pull the string!!! *gets excited about cheerleading practice with HK* a Chococat doll that when you pull the string, the fish comes back and his head moves, and a HK toy phone that plays music tones and funky sounds! MOL <b>THANK YOU SO MEOWY MUCH!!</b>

This birthday is going to be the BESTEST!! Time furrr my photoshoot!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I officially hate two things... 

1) I hate the post... Poor RA is doing circles as her gift to me hasn't come yet.  Dang that priority mailing! Sometimes they do NOT deliver in 2-3 days... LIARS!!

2) I'm waiting furrr more gifts as I've been given the tails up... Post better not mess up! Our mailbox has our NAME on it!!!

3) Ok, I lied about "Two things"

4) My girlfriend is horse (no man, she's a cat, stoooopid vet), and I'm worried to bits like her mom.  I contacted Skeezix to maybe give insight to her mom...

5) I want my RUE RUE to be 119% better! Why stop at 100%?]]></content:encoded>

Also my pawrents bought us Greenie Treats, some catnip bubbles, 6 bags of Nutro Max dry food, and 2 HUGEEEEEEEEE bins of litter!! PAWSOME!! SCORE!!!

Then mom and dad got themselves some food at the "Grocery Store", and since they were tired from shopping and doing errands all day, they got some Steak at the Outback (I swear my family isn't addicted to it! Just that dad likes MEAT).

What a fun day!!! We also finished wrapping up Simba's 19th Birthday presents :) I can't wait till she's 19!!]]></content:encoded>

I was telling *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=424024&j=t">Murray 2</b></a>* that I am encouraging him to destroy their home.  BUT there is one stipulation... They must stop at 13 as 13 will no longer be "unlucky" but rather... Lucky! They've managed to destroy 11 things in their home... 2 more to go!! 

I can't wait to see what they do next!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So if you read my brother Boogers' diary, you'll know that we got a lil' something from our bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">Rocky Ann</b></a>*.  Inside our mom's birthday pawkage, there was a catnip purse furrr each of us!!! OMC! This will remind us of RA as she knows that our mom collects purses :) But PAWS OFF MOM!! This is MINE!!! :) It's pink of course :)

I've been trying to sneak a peak of this alleged Hello Kitty doll RA sent my mom! Gosh, HK is so pretty.  But like I told my girl Rue Rue, not as pretty as her :)

Thanks Rocky Ann! And thank you to the family or RA furrr making my mom's last year as a 20 something pawsome! (Yup, she turns 29 on Tuesday).]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL My meowmy is on cloud 9!!! Ok, so she was teaching today, and her student goes to my meowmy, "So doing anything fun this weekend?" and my mom goes, "Not really... I'm looking forward to being off Tuesday for my birthday even though I'm going to be 'old' ".  And her student says, "You're going to turn what... 24, that's not old." And mom LIT UP!! He wasn't trying to kiss tail or anything, he was utterly sincere.  And mom goes, "You made my day! I'll be 29" MOL!!

Ok, we'll admit, mom doesn't look almost 29 which is a good thing... But it can be a bad thing as sometimes she feels she doesn't get taken seriously from either the parents who sometimes say, "Curious, what is your educational background, how long have you been teaching?" HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Mom is quick to say, "Well I received my MM 4 years ago, is that sufficient?" HISSSSSSSS

Anymeow, I'm looking furrrward to having her home!

But she was sad as she found out this same student's French teacher will be gone the rest of the year.... His French teacher's daughter was one of the victims in the VT shooting:( Utterly sad.... :(]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi friends! There are soooooo many unsolved cases on Catsters!!! It's a case of who-dunnit! Furrr the fabulous cats who have hit my family with these annonymousie rosettes? I'd like to say <b>THANK YOU SO MUCH</b> I have tried to keep up with the solved cases so I can reciprocate on the rosette end!!! If I missed anyone? I'm soooooo sorry!

I figure this... If any can would like furr me to be a full time Detective? SURE! Sign me up! Only problem? And here's the catch... You'll probably have to pay my meowmy's bills and my dad's... I doubt that any cat will do that :) Tis ok!

The wind here is CRAZY!! The entire East Coast got hit by a bad storm! We didn't get much rain, but the wind is supposed to be 5o+ MPH!!! I know my sister, Snooper, was complaining to NO END! She has to go out side to do her "thing" and she was walking sorta funny I'm told! MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ EEEEEEEE! Guess what came today? The Easter Bunny that's who!

Today we slept in because our meowmy was up super late reading, but when we went to get the mail when we woke up, we saw a package on our doorstep!! But it doesn't stop there! We then saw in the mailbox another box!!

So, the furrst package came from our bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">Rocky Ann</b></a>*.  Inside were three toys we have never seen befurr! "Kitty Hoots Tail Chasers"!!! WOW!! One furr each of us! I like how there's a long tail on them!! I like to take those long tails and play with them.  Reminds me of string you know? <b>THANK YOU ROCKY ANN!</b>

And next we saw a square box from our bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=296223&j=t">Sammie</b></a>* and *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=296238&j=t">KiKi</b></a>* ! inside we saw our furrrst ever Easter Basket!! It was pink (I was in heaven) and inside was a lil' yellow birdie that went "Tweet Tweet" when you touched the bottom, and there were treats inside!! Also they sent 2 adorable cards, each with their cute faces on them!

Now here's the funny thingI claimed the pink basket because, it's PINK!!! MOL AND the story behind the Lil' Birdie is because my brother, who loves food, has been stealing people's peeps off their page.  You should see him steal MY food at home!

<b>THANK YOU SAMMIE AND KIKI!!</b>

Pictures to come later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Little unknown fact about your Hondosan friends... So near our fridge, there's a drawer.  Inside is a huge stash of my favorite treats! I have to say Pounce are my favorite:) But really, I'll eat ANY treat!! I'm not pawwwticular....

When I hear that plastic bag, I come RUNNING! You see... My pawrents buy 4-6 different types of treats.  They then mix 2-3 treats together in a zip lock bag.  It tastes better this way.  I am not kittenin'!!

So anymeow... I have them trained.  When I hear them shake the bag, I reach up, with my right paw in the air, and go, "Meooooow" and it works EVERY TIME!! Dad's more willing to give me treats, but meowmy says, "Oh Hondo!!! No pounce!" so yeah, I live, eat, breath, dream of Pounce! (And of course, my girl Rue Rue)]]></content:encoded>

I love pink, and my pal *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=320117&j=t">Skeezix</b></a>* puts a lot of cats, even girls, to shame in the pink department.

She "made" my dad buy a pink tie from the "Boss", aka  Mr. Hugo Boss.  Mom loves their ties and quite frankly, mom likes to buy them furrrrr dad! She says ties are like purses... You knead one in each color, shape, size, design, etc.  So I'm proud to sport my pink purse! An added bonus is that there's NIP in it!! Yup, I come prepared:)  Like how mom has gum, advil, kleenix, etc., in her purse? I have nip!]]></content:encoded>

So this might mess up our plan of meeting Saturday!

*Meows NOOoooooooooooooooo in slow motion*

Mites are contagious.  I know her mom was thinking of coming down the next day too with dirty stinky drooling barking Angus, but my humans can't meet them then as my mom re-arranged her Saturday students to Sunday! Life is soooooooo unfair! I must sleep this off...]]></content:encoded>

Also, me and Boogie (Fido was sleeping) were excited to see a package furrr us... Wait, no!! It wasn't furrr us!!! Rocky Ann's mom was so nice and surprised my mom with a book "Save Karyn", as both our mom's like chick lit! Boogie, the weirdo, was trying to fit in this box that was 12x5x3 or something! MOL

I haven't gotten much sleep as I'm so excited!!! I'm a bit nervous, but I know it'll be fun!! Mom said that if they roamed our home it would be more comfy, but it might be best to keep them in our cat room in case they get scared or stuck behind our couch -- I sometimes hide behind there when I get chased by the dog!!! :)

I wonder what I'll wear... My meowmy meowed, "How about your HK shirt?" And I said, "MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I know she'd love it, but c'mon, I gotta impress her!!! Besides, Bellz would team up with Boogie and make fun of me!!!]]></content:encoded>

Not only do I get to meet her, but I get to meet Bellsnickles too!! And their pawrents!! We are all excited to attend the Expo! Us cats are staying behind, (the guests in our Cat room), while the humans shop.  I'm a bit jealous and upset as I like to shop, but I gave mom a list of besties and gift ideas to buy while there... *sigh*

I wonder if other cats have met in real life???]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH OH OH!! Guess what my meowmy just did furrr us cats?!?! Ok, well she was paying bills earlier and she noticed that she was out of address labels!! EEP! Sure she could write those out, but have you seen her handwriting?? Have you seen OUR handwriting? Yeah it's hereditary...

SO she bought us cats our OWN address labels! That way when we write or send things to our friends, they know it's from US! How? Well, our names will be on the address labels!!!

Boogers, Fido, Hondo!!! And the labels are going to be Hello Kitty ones too!! EEEE!!

And thank you to EVERYONE who sent me, love, treats, pawmails, rosettes furrr my day!!! :) I think I meowed to each of you individually, if not, I'm going to have to let my secretary "go".

On another note, now that I have enjoyed my day as a diary pick, I wanted to pick a bone with my meowmy.  Ok, so this fluff on my neck... It's made well and I love it, but do you think it's my color??? I'm all about pink you know??? Mom says I'm the girl she never had--our doggie doesn't do clothes well as she will get them dirty outside as she's a <b>"LOW RIDER".</b>  AKA? A doggie who's belly touches the ground even though she's not fat. MOL!!!!!!! 

Anymeow... Thank you everyone furrrr the love and friendship!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!! So not only did my bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=276717&j=t">Gordy</b></a>* receive a rosette from "The Blue Brothers", but so did *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">Rocky Ann</b></a>*,  and*<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404481&j=t">Bellsnickles</b></a>*!!!

What scared me was the fact that Gordy got hit as he leaves near "The Crop Circles", and that got me to think... (Please, don't be a smart tail!!!) If the Blue Brothers are sending us signs, and then the mothership was hit, aka Gordy's backyard, does that mean we're in furrrr a rude awakening? The rosette wasn't scary, but... EEP!!! Do you think the UFO's are next?!?!

<b>***UPDATE***</b> Rocky Ann just informed my brother Boogie that we shouldn't be scared... Quote: "Only a nice person would give out pink."

TRUE DAT!]]></content:encoded>

Picasso has a SEVERE case of Cardiomiopathy, and it's tenfolds worse than his big brother Cocoa's condition.  He currently has mild congestive heart failure and could go at any moment and that could also cause paralysis.  He is getting lasix right now to help rid of the congestion.  Nothing could have prepared the family furrr this news.  The signs don't really show until it's too late.  I am deeply saddened.  

Please purrrr furrr his family... =*(]]></content:encoded>

He just came back from the emergency vet where he found out that he has an enlarged heart.  He was having problems breathing last night:( Oh please purrr furr him!!!! 

His diary says the following:
"Last night, meowmy noticed that my breathing pattern wasn't normal (somewhat heavy). Of course, I was purrring which will make the pattern look different but she knew something didn't look like it usually does. She brought me in as an Emergency patient today and they decided to take several X-Rays of my heart, lungs and chest. When the vet came back, she wanted to speak to meowmy in the patient room. She showed her the X-Rays and it revealed that I have an enlarged heart, along with fluid surrounding the heart area. Usually an enlarged heart indicates Cardiomapathy (Heart Disease). This was such sad news furr meowmy and my family who loves me so so much. All she did was cry, knowing what a horrible disease Cardiomapathy is and especially with me being so young. Actually, Cocoa has that disease and is on heart medication furr the rest of his life, as well as Cardiology exams and scans, yearly. It has been about 3 years now since Cocoa was diagnosed. The younger the age, the worse it could be for the patient. I am only 7 months old. Tomorrow evening, I have an appointment with my Cardiologist to have several test done, including a Cardiogram and Ultrasound and we'll know furr sure what's going on? I am on an antibiotic as well as a medication to help dry up the fluids. Please purray for me that I'll be ok! We will keep you posted and thanks again.

Time to go and comfort my meowmy because she is so sad and has been crying since this news. I'll bring her one of my mousies!"

<b>GET WELL SOON BUDDY!!!</b> =(]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man, my humans and us cats were L-A-Z-Y today! We slept in until 4pm!!! YEAH!! Can we say we were tired?!? We're all blaming Fido as he kept us up <b>ALL NIGHT</b>.  How you meow??? Well, he kept opening our cabinets and taking things out, making a lot of noise... Mom was getting annoyed as she kneads her beauty rest! MOL

Then when Fido was making a mess, the doggie would go "WOOF WOOoooooooof" and that made the humans even more annoyed...

So it's time to make dinner... Our furrrst meal of the day... Stay warm friends! 3 days ago it was FREEZING! Then yesterday=55!! Today? COLD!!!!!!! We are told that a big storm is coming!! :(]]></content:encoded>

SO there's a big ol stain on the carpet... Mom said it's ok as she'll have Dad steam it tomorrow.  Mom is home w/ a bad headache going on furrr over 24 hours...

The vet said I'm fine (no knead furrr an appointment) and said it's just probably the change in weather.  Also mom noticed when our air purrifyer reads "cleaning/clean filter" I sneeze more.  I'm ok dudes!

And what did I wake up to this morning?? Errr, afternoon?? <b>SNOW!</b> Our 1st snowfall of the year! Fido already said his $0.02 on the matter and so did our meowmy!!! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, I figure since Boogers lost almost 1.5 pounds, I had to have lost 1 pound as I've been on the Booger diet (NOT BY CHOICE).  So I changed my weight and went down one pound.  Also I may look bigger than Boogers but he outweighs me by a lot!!! So I changed my coat back to "Domestic Medium Hair" again.  I am super fluffy and it's not these alleged "muscles" that Boogers meows about:)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW!!! I'm soooooooooooo happy to report that my bestie *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=353982&j=t">Kramer</b></a>*  and his NEW GIRLFRIEND (and my friend) *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=382745&j=t">Anabel</b></a>*are officially a couple!!!! Can I pick 'em or what!! 

Furrrst off, Kramer's entire family (oh ok... Including the dogs) are pawsome!! When I furrst met Anabel and her bro Muray, she read my diary and saw how sad I was to loose my <b>bestest BESTIE</b> on Catster:( So she sent him a rosette.  Right there I knew this girl had class... So then a few months pass and I saw that Anabel had fancied me! I had NO idea!! But I had just snagged my *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">Rue Rue</b></a>*  and I'm not about to cheat on any girl... 

Then flash furrward a few days... My lil' brother Fido turned 1 and Kramer was having fun partying and realized that hey... He wanted a girlfriend too! And I told him I'd want ONLY A NICE CAT to date him... And then I went through my corral and found Anabel! PURRRFECT!! They're both handsome/cute so why not! 

So today they had their furrrst date and VOILA!!! MATCH!!! <b>THEY ARE DATING!</b> So many ConCats to you two!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My handsome Hondo... When we first moved to Virginia, we really wanted to start a new life by expanding our family.  Your dad and I were looking for a cat.  Being that your dad grew up with cats, he was SO excited when I gave in and let him adopt a cat.  We adopted you at PetSmart when a great organization called <b>Fancy Cats</b>  was holding an adoption.  We talked with some of the volunteers and told them what kind of cat we were looking for.

Then we saw you.  Our eyes met and we knew you were the one.  You were so soft, and friendly, and greeted us with open paws.  We couldn't take you home until the next day because they wanted to do a check on us as well as bring your toys and belongings to our home.

On May 25, 2003 you came into our lives and to your forever home at the tender age of 1.  You immediately ran out of the cage and sat on our sofa ! We all cracked up as you seemed to have declared that you were home!!  You were SO NICE and willing to meet your sister, Snooper.  At first you weren't sure about her being a dog but you two got along even though she sometimes taunts you!

You will always hold a special spot in our heart as you were our <b>FIRST</b> cat.  Dad and I love you to bits.  We look forward to spending many more years with you.  You sure are growing up fast Hondo.  You now have a great girlfriend, *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=404519&j=t">Rue Rue</b></a>* who we both love and adore.  

Love Mom and Dad

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, us cats have been uber unproductive.  We sat around all day, admiring the scenery outside, got up, did our thing, and then had many cat naps.  Sometimes a cat's gotta do that!

Boogie's paw is much better as they cleaned it out and gave him some antibiotics.  Thankfully he didn't knead those funky collars! MOL We would have been making fun of him to no end:)

I think my resolution will be to force myself to be more social.  In the past 2 months I have been more social with the rest of the family.  I don't always hide, but I'm a loner and like to have "Hondo" time.  You know? I"m very affectionate in the morning, when the humans get out of the shower (like to lick the water) and when I get treats.

I have the humans trained so that when I go to the treat drawer, I reach up high, (like a high 5) and meow and it gets them EVERY TIME :) I'm sneaky! <b>MWHAHAHAHA</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ DRATS! Us kitties were asleep when Mr. Santa came, but he did manage to eat all my cookies and inhaled Boogers' Birthday Cake!!! He came down our fireplace *We turned that off* and left us TWO big toys!

1) A HUGE new jungle gym/scratching post that is a dark wine color!! It's 3 floors high! SWEET KITTEN KABOODLE!!!

2) A 2 step stair case furrr the human's bedroom furrr us to get on the bed much easier as it's really high! Santa got a nice soft light blue color to match their bedroom (and because it's one of Boogers' favorite color)

MOL US CATS figured out the steps, but the doggie didn't and still can't get her fat butt on the bed w/o 10 tries! MOL

Also, our humans got us each a big bin of Kitty Kaviar, I got some Meow Mix soft pouches, Meow Mix treats and a few other chicken soft treats to eat, some dried cod which I knead to share with my brothers*YUM*, Catnip Mist from Drs. Foster/Smith, and a few catnip toys!!!

MERRY CATMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!!!!!! Whatd'ya get?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a pawsome day we had!! Technically yesterday (Thursday, Dec. 14, 2006) we received a long awaited pawkage from our  besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=366026&j=t">Cocoa and Co.</b></a>*.  Poor Cocoa and Co! They had sent us a package over 2 weeks ago and it FINALLY came! We were both worried that the present was lost =( BUT it is here safe and sound!!! My mom took a break after taking pictures and adding them to our slide show, hence why my diary furrr today is Dec. 15, 2006.

Anymeow... Inside was the most beautiful card of Cocoa and his entire family! So professional looking!! Boy did they spoil us! Gosh, we have such pawsome friends!!!

Well, they sent some YUMMY Eukanuba packets of cat food! We never had this but I meow you what! Boogers ate it like there was NO TOMORROW! I ate it like a gentlecat, I have good manners!  Also inside was some catnip poofs, a pack of green mice (how festive), a Santa toy that we can play with, a huge blue catnip mouse which we were thankful to have received as we bought these furrr some of our friends furrr their Catmas gifts! And the most coolest red kitty toy! Furrr its legs, they were these soft plush legs and they were LONG! It really helps my motor skills---and I'm not meowin' about my purrrr.  I have a LOUD purr

THANK YOU SO MUCH COCOA, JASPURR, ASPEN, SNOWMITTS, PICASSO, and KASHMERE!!!

AND... WE GOT MORE GIFTS TOO!

Today we received a gift from our other besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=299330&j=t">Sock and troop</b></a>*.  They sent my family TONS of toys too!!! Gosh, where to begin?

They sent us a card that was really cute, Deli Slices Treats (OMC!!!), a huge catnip filled sock, furry mice, tons of balls, some fun balls depicting sports and other catnip toys! Also inside were these cool balls that Fido has been playing with (3 pack of balls with spikes!!!) and Hondo went nuts with the huge catnip filled sock! MOL.  They put what appears to be home made nip inside our package so when we opened our gifts, the nip went everywhere!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well jumpin' smokin' kitten caboodles!!!!

Today our besties *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=276717 &j=t">Gordy and Dutchess</b></a>* surprised us with a pawkage! Inside were some great gifts: A sweet bubble blower toy that'll keep us busy furrrr hours, a cute lil' card with a nice message inside and very fun bell to play with--maybe we'll have mom ring that when food is ready.  One really cute touch was that on our gifts were our Holiday pictures and they were laminated!! How cool! Their pawrents are so cleaver! I pawsonally loved playing with the wrapping and bow.  Also enclosed was a bag of fun soft balls to play with and what appeared to be a home made catnip square toy that was "Made especially for me by Dutchess and test sniffed by Gordy! MOL we got a kick outta that!!!

AND

*<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=283044&j=t">Calvin, Samoa, and Violet</b></a>* sent us a pawkage too!!! They sent us a cool soft wand that will keep me and my brothers entertained furrr hours! I love those things! And a stocking full of toys with balls, greenies, mice, and Santa too! Now... This is the EXCITING THING... Their mom sent us a hand made blanket! OH MY CATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing beats home made gifts!!! Their mom is UBER talented!!! Fido has officially taken over this blanket... *Fido, I konw where you live... Don't make me take it from you!*  We were so touched by the hand made gift and we seriously almost peed our furrr when we saw that! 

I know Boogers told a few cats a message from us, but a couple cats are going to have a belayed Catmas present.  "Something" is on backorder!!! So just to let you know, Calvin's family is one of the cats in this situation, and a couple more are in it as well.  We are so sorry! Furrrst it was the evil stamps and NOW "SOMETHING" is on back order!!!! UGH.  It's supposed to ship Dec. 8 they said....  So Calvin and Co. if you're reading??? We are waiting furrr  something ok? And the other cats don't know yet as we're trying to keep it on the low down... Can't say who...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh no! The snow has taken MY Secret Mystery Santa!!!! Who done'it!!! Fess up!!! I have my homeboys, aka, brothers who are off searching furrrr him/her!!!

I hope he/she isn't burried in the snow!!!

In the meantime, I have found THE ONE cat that I fancy.  I have been pawmailing "Their contacts" and I think it's a done deal! Since I am a gentle cat with class (Ok, Ok... I'm a momma's boy), my mom taught me well and said that if you want to impress a girl, you gotta have manners.  So I'm just not going to go, "Yo, ____ wanna be my girl?" I'm going to do it with STYLE!!!

She'll know what I mean when "IT" gets there...

I can't declare officially yet as I want to sorta keep it under wraps... I know I have let some clues out of the bag, but I know I'll be good...]]></content:encoded>

So, there's more waiting...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok... So this cat, who ::blush:: gave me a white rosette to make my page more colorful, gave me another clue... I think I cracked it!

So I thought the following cats were "THE ONE" but I am wrong as they have 6 cats! (Must get my humans on top of this issue... Would love to have 5 bros!)
-Miles and Co.
-Sock and Troop.
-Cocoa and Co.

Then I kept looking in my coral of my favorite 20 cats.  And then I saw this : *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=287446 &j=t">Family</b></a>*... They DO have 5 cats!!! But the pawwwt that threw me off was that one of the furrrst clue said that this cat isn't in any Secret Santa exchanges like their siblings... I know know this brilliant ring leader, *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=287446 &j=t">RIPLEY</b></a>* was the organizer as my silly brothers, Fido and Boogs wouldn't shut up about it!

Hmmm...  So furrr now, if this IS the family in question, I gotta figure out who the ONE kitty is that is sending me something...

Thanks furrr the white rosette!]]></content:encoded>

*You hear that guys??? ::motions with white paw to brothers:: Yup JUST ME!! NO TOUCHING WHEN IT COMES!!!! Unless it's a crate to haul off the DOG!*

EEEEEEEEEEE

**UPDTATE** The words "...I am not part of a secret kitty group like my other kitties but I decided to just choose you as my secret kitty." keep ringing in my ears... So this cat has multiple cats... Hmmmm, I know a lot of besties who have multiples... Hmmmm ::thinks like Mr. Pooh Bear::

Hmmmm, Thank you mystery kitty furrr the rosettes:) I think white might be a good color too you think?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, I'm still clueless, but here's my 2nd clue: 

"Hey ssshhhh its me again your secret kitty have you figured me out yet????? Are you excited????"

MEOW RIGHT I AM EXCITED!!! Hmmmm who could it be??? I'm guessing this secret kitty is sending only ME somethin'... Me and my bros got a pawkage from one of our besties Eve, but it was addressed to us all.... So I don't think it's her...

By the way, Boogers is going to do a diary update on the purrresent from Eve soon!!!

Hmmm, who could it be?!? EEEEEEEEEE ::does the indy 500 as he's too excited!::]]></content:encoded>

Ok, now furrrr the memo... I wanted to let my friends know that many of you will be receiving something in the mail the furrst week of December from us.  Some will have a 2 part gift, but I can't say who the lucky cats are:) If you were bad? You can have my sister as your gift!!!

I know I may be early sending things out, but I want to avoid the long lines.  Also, my meowmy is uber ogranized, and OC about getting things done so she doesn't stress...

Hope you cats survive Black Friday!! We're avoiding it like baths!!! (Boogers doesn't count)

I am so happy to hear he's causing chaos in the bridge (but in a good way).  I hope he uses his super cat power to direct his family towards the cat in Iowa.  I think it's a sign especially since the cat looks like MURRAY!!!

Our other bestie, Cocoa and Co sent us 6 fun FILLED nip toys! Man those things are STRONG!! You all know how I am usually napping on the humans bed, but I could smell those babies a MILE AWAY!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, I know what you're thinking... "Hondo, you can't wait till Nov 1st as it's Hello Kitty's bday".  Ok, you got me:) But no, in addition to that blessed event? I get to take off this blasted shirt off! I love LOVE Hello Kitty, but my brothers have been making fun of me non stop about the pink.  I'd like to paw out that I'm secure in my man hood in pink.  Pink is so cute with grey don't you think???

But yes, Hello Kitty's bday is tomorrow!!! I'll be there in spirit as she's so gosh darn popular.... Maybe, just maybe, she'll stop by??? ::crosses paws::

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!]]></content:encoded>

You see, she's been feeling not so well, but she has told me and her friends that she's feeling better! That is such a huge relief! If you don't know her, you're missing out! Be her pal and purrrrr furrrrr her!!! 

By me being picked as a Daily Diary Pick, I get an advance on my allowance and that goes towards a great group in Utah called "Best Friends Animal Society".  My allowance will help sponsor a cat!!

She went into the cat ER the other night and is home resting.  Please send her tons of treats and love as she is a great cat and friend to many on catster.

Her and her family have done so much furrr Catster and others! Furrr example, her family was very pro active in the AZ kitty situation! And how cool is it that her mom helps and volunteers her free time to other cats.

Simba is in GREAT paws but give her your love!!

Things are going well here.  I've been busy keeping my pawrents from sleeping in... In fact, my meowmy only managed to get 15 hours of sleep in the past 3 days total... You see, Fido is really good at waking her up.  He is afterall, a Black and White Ankle Biter:) I blame *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=296810&j=t">ORCA THE KILLER CAT</b></a>*!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I got in BIG TROUBLE last night!! My meowmy didn't feel well so she stayed home from work which was nice:) 

She was pimpin' Boogie's and Fido's stroller when I saw these things called streamers... They looked sooooooooooooo good! Can you blame me? So while she was attatching the velcro to a patch, I made a run furrr it with a streamer in my mouth! I got in so much trouble!

"HONDO NOOOOOO! BAD CAT! GIVE THAT BACK! DO NOT HIDE BEHIND THE SOFA!!!! GET OVER HERE"

Finally I gave in, and I survived the wrath of meowmy:) It was worth it.  My excuse was if they get to sit in it, I wanna play with it.  I have to admit, the red stroller has been calling my name... Maybe I'll take it furrr a test ride? Nah...]]></content:encoded>

HEY! A cat can dream right??? But then I saw that I was one of the Diary of the Day pics! PURRRR!

Thank you to EVERYONE who pawmailed me and ConCatulated me!
The ones I remember furrr sure were: Cali, Callie, Gimme, Sock, Monkey, Rocky Ann, Sammie, Simba, Spot.

And my buddy *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=90616&j=t">SPOT</b></a>*  even made my day better by giving me a rosette:) Check out his page!

Here's how it works: every week we have the opportunity to "earn" some money based on a few different things. 

~trying to keep the litterbox area clean by not kicking too much litter out 
~Keeping the food/water area clean by not playing with the fountain water 
~if dad leaves the bathroom fountain lid up, not getting into it and splashing the water around 
~love to mombo 
~no arguing or fighting 
~picking up some of our toys if we get too many of them out 
~love to mombo 
~not sneaking into food that isn't ours 
~love to mombo 
~letting mombo know if the people with shorts leave boxes at the front door 
~pushing our dropped hairs into little piles instead of leaving the individual strands all over the house 
~love to mombo]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So my brothers have been surfing the net furrr cool things furrr their stroller.  I don't get what the big deal is, it's a stroller! I'd much rather sleep, get some nip, a nice brushin', and hog up the D-O-G-S bed so she can't sleep in it.  

In the meantime it's been cooling off a bit.  Weird how yesterday was a bit humid.  I actually like furrr the weather to be cooler as I have a thick coat of furrr unlike my brothers and sister.

It's our friend Skeezix's 2nd birthday this Saturday and we're so excited to be apawt of his celebration! We have put up the "Pin the tale on the mao butt" on our wall.  I could have SWORN I saw Fido practicing... Not fair!!!]]></content:encoded>

Furrrst off, those 2 rosettes Monkey SURE HELPED!! I don't think my pawrents will have to give me a bath ANYMORE as I smell very good and clean!! ::take THAT pawrents!::

I'd like to paw out that:
1) Just because Boogers loves baths does NOT mean we all do
2) I am seriously thinking Violet's offer over... Be ware!
3) Every cat felt bad furrr me meowmy!!! 
4) They were all THISSSSSSSS close to reporting you to the Animal Control/Animal Abuse/ YOU NAME IT organization!!!!

Steps:
1) Do it in a corner where no one is looking
2) Pretend you're bored so no one stares and gets all excited when you get near the thing...
3) C'mon you know how to use it... But don't lead on like you do!!!
4) Just rub against it so your pawrents can take pics and show their friends as proud pawrents tend to do...
5) Let RA know you like it (That girl has great taste!)
6) Just don't let your siblings touch it!!! I mean, hello? It was YOUR Burrrfday pressie!
7) Repeat as necessary!!!]]></content:encoded>

Us cats are all having a blast making fun of Snooper as she's the only family member who hasn't been anything on her beloved Dogster... You know she's jealous that she's not a cat... I mean, c'mon! She's just as small as a cat (smaller! MOL) but yet she is a D-O-G! MOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So not jealous... Me jealous??? NOoooo! So Fido had to rub it in my face that he received 5 paws.  Then to add insult to injury, he had to mention that he has been apawart of our family furrr 2 weeks (actually LESS). What ever, talk to the paw because the whiskers don't wanna hear it!

So my brother Boogers was chattin' with his girlfriend. MOL! I mean how 4*5kg;s`2s=25j................................ *OUCH! He hit me on my head with his paw*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ok, so everyone is happy to learn that Fido now gets along with Boogers.  So well that we all saw him grooming Boogers! Now, I was trying to lay low, but sure enough, Fido decided I was his next victim... So I have been busy running away from him.  We're going to add a video of me and him 'playing' later this weekend, so be sure to check that out.  For an eight month old cat, he sure is big! And he can bite like the dickins'!

Oh oh, I think I hear him coming! RUN!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey guys!

Well, our household has been busy taking care of the crazy Fido!! It's sorta fun to watch him chase Boogers, but meowmy is all paranoid that Fido will hurt big 'ol 17 pound Boogers.  Keep in mind, Fido weighs in at a heafty 7 pounds...

But man, that little cat has some SPUNK! We're not used to seeing such a hyper cat.  I mean, Snooper the D-O-G we're used to, but this is sheer madness!!! Doesn't he ever get tired??

OH! And get this!! He does NOT like Cat Nip!!! That's right, you heard me... He doesn't like the stuff! Mabye his taste buds are messed up? When he tried eating the nip, he was trying to sniff it up his nose and not eat it.  You'd think a dignified Tux cat would know quality catnip, but I guess not.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Woah is me... I need to start playing the lotto in hopes of getting a sister in the future and not another brother!!! Things with the new brother are going better as we all made pawgress last night.  Fido sure looks like Boogers it's scary! I'm looking forward to the day when Boogers, Snooper and Fido get old as their fur may turn grey like mine:) Only then, perhaps, will we truely look alike (Doesn't get any better than grey!).  

I'm still debating if I wanna stroll.  Truth be told, I love the way it looks and feels! I admit it... I have been caught sleeping in the stroller, but I don't know... Looks a bit fishy.  I mean, c'mon! A cat inside a stroller? Won't people think it's a crazy cat lady putting her cat in a stroller that looks like a baby "human" stroller? Gotta love my meowmy for trying! =) I figure if my dad says it's cool, then I'll give it a try...]]></content:encoded>

On behalf of Boogers and I, we hope our resigning from some of the groups we belonged to doesn't ruffle any fur =( We hate to leave some of the groups, but honestly we were in too many, and we could never keep up with the boards/pawmail. We feel bad... But we hope the friends that we made will continue to pawmail us!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gosh darn brother Boogers! About time he gave me the computer so I could get in touch with MY friends!! We're all doing well with our grandpawrents.  Boogers is a bit bummed he hasn't been on a stroll in a while, but look, it's not going to hurt him to take a break from the stroller! All I hear is "STROLLER, stroller, MEOW, meow, S T R O L L E R" (blah blah blah).  Where's my stroller? Oh yeah, I forgot, I hate it! 

So we're going to PetSmart today furrr our shopping spree!!! You know I'll hook up all my friends with free nip:) Purrr

Ok, I gotta split as Snooper is coming and is demanding the computer.  Hope all you felines have a great weekend and I'll be back on more regularly when they leave Tuesday!

The cat apparently is like my brother Boogers: calm, likes to snuggle, blah blah.  I like to keep things mello by staying out of trouble.  You do NOT want to hear the wrath of meowmy!! So far we're thinking: Norbert *from Harry Potter* or Cuddles.  Hmmm...

On another note, my grandpawrents will be here tomorrow!! YAY!! I might be MIA (even more so than already) for the next few days (they're here for a week)!

I think the Vet scared the sneezing out of me! MOL! My hair isn't as clumpy, but my meowmy said she's keeping an eye on me.  Let's face it, I can't stand being held for more than 5 seconds.  So it makes getting groomed hard.  I'm a rough kitty, no need for all that glam.  Just give me water and we'll call it even? Stay cool cats!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I just got back from an hour long vet appointment.  Sure, I got cheese wiz, but that was only to keep me from getting distracted while I was poked and pawwwed.  So, my  hair loss... All is ok, and the vet said if these fish oil tablets don't fix it, they'll give me new ones in 3 weeks.  He thought that since my sacks (SO embarassed) were full, that might have been why there was so much fur down there, and why it fell out in clumps... Then I got my anual shots, the cool ID tag so if I get lost, I'll be returned home.  Also me and my bro got Frontline medicine, and for my sneezing problem? Some meds too to help drain my right nostril.  So after a nice $400 bill, I'm good! My meowmy is so nice to me... Oh there were a few other things that equate to this large bill, but those are extra personal (and more embarassing).]]></content:encoded>

When I heard the UPS man knock on our door, I was a good cat and walked with you to the door to meet him (didn't want anyone stealing my dish or my mom!).  But meowsas! It's wonderful and I am so hydrated! I hope this helps my cold/sinus problem that I am trying to fight off.  Wow, I'm speechless! More than usual! Ok kitties, view my water fountain on page 1 of my pictures.  And again, this was all possible due to our friend *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">ROCKYANN</b></a>* who's meowmy told my meowmy about it!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey fellow felines! Been busy all day trying to update my page since my music went AWOL.  So far I like the music, but the background isn't up to paw.  My water dish is coming VERY soon, and I cannot wait! The one we had is good, but I go through water so fast.  Like my brother said, I am part camel, watch out... I do spit! Ok, I'll be sure to post pictures of my water dish when it arrives.  Cross your paws it gets here safe and sound!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Purrrr, guess what? Our friend *<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?i=291740&j=t">ROCKYANN</b></a>* told my mom about this COOL water fountain.  Don't get me wrong, I love the one we have, but this is the MEGA stream of water!!! It's HUGE! It's actually meant for dogs, but I go through a lot of water in a day (keeps my fur PURRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrttty).  So it'll be here Monday and I'll be sure to post pictures!! I knead it!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man it's hotter than hot here.  My mom says I'm growing an afro! Luckily I've been drinking a lot of water to keep my fur puuuuuurty, but my parents can't keep my PetMate full.  Is it too much to ask that they devote all their free time towards me? Meowwwww... So like my brother, today was the first day we could hand out Rosettes due to a hairball glitch.  My mom wrote them an email and was told it would take 72 hours to receive a reply.  Well, there's some fresh meow mix waiting for me.  Thanks for the treats and Rosettes everyone!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I notice that the groups I belong to aren't showing up in my profile like they do for my brother and sister.  Any feline know why? Give me a catcall if you know what gives.  

Is it me or is it HOT as a kitten-kabob outside? Good thing mom has the A/C turned on so it's purrrrrfect inside.  I don't know how the outdoor cats do it.  Having all this fur makes it uncomfortable.  

So please friends, drink plenty of water, stay in the shade, and make sure you get plenty of cat treats!

ETA: Meow! My clubs are listed now.  I need a nap, that was exhausting!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I heard that my mom and dad plan on buying us a few new toys next weekend.  I wonder what they'll get us!! A couple weeks ago, we got this HUGE scratching post.  We currently have four, but good 'ol mom sure can shop like a champ! I'm hoping she buys me fresh cat nip.  Don't get me wrong, I love the dry stuff, but the fresh stuff is intoxicating! Again, thank you every feline for accepting and/or sending me friend invites!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow! I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has accepted my invites and/or invited me to become friends with them! I'm a newbie to Caster and let me tell you, it's almost as addicting as my Pounce Treats!!! Meeeoooow! So it's really hot here.  Good thing my mom refilled my water filter.  I highly recommend every cat going to PetSmart and have them buy you a PetMate.  It not only filters your water, but what cat DOESN'T like a stream of fresh water to lick? My mom used to get MAD at me for drinking from the tap, but alas, I have my new fun toy.  That is unless my brother beats me to it.  I hate that...]]></content:encoded>
