		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Finally Mom took a look at my page and realized that my "rock" feature was down and she finally checked it out and got rid of that annoying music.

Still miss my Mommy, but I have my sisters Maleka and Callie and our brother Raffles up here.  They are all of the canine persuasion but we're all family, we get along great up here.  I especially like to ride on Maleka's back.  We both have the same blue piercing eyes.  We goof around and tell everyone we are siblings with different mothers.

I met Mom's first family of cats up here (Ranger, Tom and Bindoux) very nice cats and the sister they grew up with Hayley a sweet mixed breed dog and Mom's first pet. 

Callie, Raffles, Maleka and me were Mom's second family. 

Priscilla and Quigley are Mom's third family.   Boy does Mom have her hands full with them.  I bet she really appreciates how laid back Callie and I were.

Well gotta run, it's family night.  The eight of us all get together once a month and reminense about old times with Mom.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been over a year now that I've been at the Rainbow Bridge.  It seems like just yesterday that Mom was holding me and saying what a beautiful boy I was and she would hold me in her heart forever.  Then boom I was on this beautiful train that took me up to the Rainbow Bridge and reunited me with Maleka, Callie and Raffles.  

I've been having such a wonderful adventure.  I split my time between the dog and cat side of the bridge.  We all get along up here and I love spending time with my siblings.  Some nights I share Callie's bed and sometimes I'm back with old blue eyes, Maleka.  I don't sleep with Raffles, he's a bed hog and he snores.  And then some nights I sleep with my cat friends.  I have the best of both worlds.

I sure miss Mom and I know she thinks about me all the time.  I'm glad she has Quigley and Priscilla to keep her company.  We'll all be reunited some day and our hearts will be whole again.

Happy Fourth of July to all my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Big party tonight at the Bridge.  My dog brother Raffles is turning 14 today.  I haven't been at the bridge for very long, so Callie and Maleka have clued me in to what happened last year at Raffles party.  I'm not allowed to talk about it but knowing my brother, I believe every word of it.  

Maleka and I are assigned to shadow the little Monkey Face at the party tonight and try to keep him out of trouble.  It's really a good way for me to meet every one.  Callie and Adriana have fashioned a saddle for Maleka to wear so I can ride in style and not get trampled by all the dogs.  It's very handsome.  On earth Maleka always wanted to be a sled dog so she said this is a great opportunity for her.

And did I tell you - there will be cake.  Adriana, Callie and the girls have been baking all morning.  

With the girls baking, I worked most of the day dictating at "Flying Paws".  It's the most fun job.  I get to hear all the stories.  They keep me in giggles all day.  

Oops, gotta run.  I have to pick out a party hat.

Everyone is welcome.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow.  I went from only a few faces in my life, Mommy and the Bostonian's and now I'm surrounded by wonderful new furry friends.  I love it.  I love being with my dog sibs, but I love escaping with the other felines.  Budmeister came and got me yesterday and took me to his favorite places.  I had the best day.  I was so tuckered out yesterday I forogt to have my bed time snack.  

The sibs woke my up from a sound sleep and took me to the watching spot.  I don't know how it works, but we can look in on Mommy and the pups.  Mommy is still sad but she's doing better.  Grandma keeps her busy so that's a good thing.  Mommy put my "essence" in a a beautiful oak box and she keeps me on her dresser along with Callie and Raffle's boxes.  She talks to us all the time.  The Bostonian's are a strange pair (I don't thing they're real dogs - they're always wearing tuxedo's) but they love Mommy and are keeping her happy.

Oops gotta run.  Raffles needs me.  I forgot how needy that brother of mine is.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey everybody, you won't believe what an amazing, beautiful place the bridge is.  And I no longer hurt.  It's like being a kitten again.  I really miss my Mommy but I have been reunited with my dog siblings - Maleka - Callie & Raffles.  I was a little scared a first but when I got done processing they took me into a special room and there was Maleka waiting for me to take me home to see Callie and Raffles.  It was so great seeing them again.  

And I've met so many new cat friends.  Those who are still with their families and those up here at the bridge.

I want to thank Buddie, Nigel, Reuben, Alex, Simon, Socks, Queen Tallulah, Iska, Sky and everyone who has sent me or Mom or my family their love and concern.  Mom has been really touched.  I can't wait to get to know my new friends up here.

It turns out that Raffles, Callie and Maleka run a business up here.  It's called "Flying Paws" a dictation service for everyone at the bridge so they can contine to write in there diaries.  In exchange for dictation services everyone helps create cottages and gardens and fun areas on this side of the bridge.  It was Raffles and his possee's brain child to create a beautiful place to hold celebrations and welcome new arrivals.  He told me he's not just a pretty face.  I forgot what a character my brother was.  He says with my tiny paws I'll be great at dictation.

Miss you bunches Mommy.  Give Priscilla and Quigley hugs for me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Everyone,

This is Chewtoy's mom.  I lost my beautiful boy last week.  I picked up his ashes last night.  Very sad days.  Thank you for all your prayers.  The dogs and I are devestated.  We were very lucky to have Chewie hang in there way past the time the doctors gave him after his cancer diagnosis.  But his body finally gave out and I had to make the hard decision to book him passage to the Bridge.

He was a very special mellow friend.  I could tell him anything and he'd just give me that special smile and purr and rub on me.  He could always get me out of a funk.  He was very dog like, maybe because he grew up with dogs.  As soon as I got home he would run to meet me.

He loved people, anyone could pet him.  He was truly a wonderful boy and I will miss those beautiful blue eyes and his engaging personality.

I had the great pleasure to have Chewie in my life for 12 of his 14 years. 

We will never forget Chewie.

Mom]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey gang.  I fooled the doctors, I'm still hanging in there.  The good news is that my diabetes is in remission.  Yay that means no more shots.  Mom and I love that.  Now I have all these unused insulin syringes that Mom would hate to throw away.  There are 6 unopened BD Insulin Syringe packages - a total of 60 needles.  BD Ultra-fine needle (short needle)8mm  31G.

We also have 20 U-40 Insulin syringe (for use with VETSULIN)  1cc  28 Ga x 1/2" length.

Are there any other cats out there in the metro area of Minnesota that have the bad luck to need these syringes.  If so Mom would be happy to give them to you.  These are for pet use only.

We asked our vet clinic but they said they would just dispose of them.    That seems like such a waste. Any other ideas of where we could donate them?

Now for the bad news.  I'm afraid my time is getting short.  My cancer is taking over.  But Mom is so proud of me.  Back in January they never thought I would last this long.  My tests show my kidneys are not doing well and I'm a little wobbly on my back left leg.  I'm not in any pain yet.  Mom is so worried about knowing when to book me passage on the train to the bridge.  She can see me getting weaker but I'm still not ready to go.  I still rub and purr and come to her.  I have to stay as long as I can to watch over Mom.  Today Mom is taking me upstairs so I can get some fresh air on the enclosed cattery on the balcony.  I haven't been up there for ages because Grandma's cats live up there now.  But Mom says she's worked it out so I spend some time in it today.  She's the best.  That darn dog brother and sister of mine usually monopolize Mom so I always make the most of my Mom time.

Oops gotta go I think Mom needs me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and I decided to give the chemo pills a try.  For over a month Mom put pills down the back of my throat.  I hated, hated, hated it.  And I have to admit that I fought and hissed and scratched and ran when I saw her approaching.  That's not like me at all.  I love my  Mom.  The pills were making me behave badly.  Mom didn't like stressing me out, but we went through it.  I had blood tests this weekend and got the results yesterday.  Mom was so upset that she put me through a month of this and it didn't help at all.  The protein levels were higher and my kidney levels were affected.  So that means the cancer is progressing and the pills do not work for me.  They suggested we try another medication but Mom and I had a long chat and we know the best thing for me is to not try any more medication.  I have always been the most mellow cat and love my Mom.   So the good news is 

1.  Mom threw my last pill away this morning - no more pills.  

2.  I'm not in any pain so Mom says I call the shots now.  We will continue to medicate for my diabetes, that I can handle.  Mom said I can live the rest of my life in peace and tranquility for as long as I have left.   Is she the best Mom or what?  I might surprise the doctors and hang in here for awhile.

3.  The dogs are still not allowed in my suite of rooms - that rocks.

4.  Grandma visits me almost every day.  She's a good scratcher.  Life is good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends.  The good news is that my glucose levels are spot on.  I knew I could keep my diabetes in check.  Mom and I are doing a super job on my shots.  But unfortunately the labs they took when Mom took me in for the sneezing epispodes show that it's almost positive that I have cancer.  

They are thinking Multiple Myleoma or Lymphoma.  I met Dr. Dutelle (Onocologist) yesterday.  What a nice Dr.  I was smitten at first pet.  They would like to do xrays and all kinds of tests which would pinpoint everything exactly, but as you can all probably relate to, these tests are really out of the sky pricey.  Mom just doesn't have that kind of money.  SO she opted not to have more tests.  So we talked about treatment.  For option A I could do shots for one week and then pills the next week and keep that up for who knows how long.  That's not cheap, but the kicker is they don't have weekend hours and there's no way Mom can get off work that much to take me all way across town during rush hour, she just wouldn't get there in time.  And Mom is still torn about putting me through this stuff if it's not really going to help me.  She opted for Option B which is to give me chemotherapy pills every other day for 30 days.  I am not thrilled about this either and that is still pricey.  Mom has to shoot it down my throat.  They make her wear gloves so she doesn't touch the pill.  If Mom can't touch it, should it be in my body?  Mom and I are still debating whether or not we want me to go through this.  I'm still feeling good at this point but know it's only a matter of time.  We don't think the doctor feels this is the best option but we think it's the best for me and our situation.  Mom and I will have to re-evaluate this option after the blood tests are taken in another week.  She doesn't want me to be stressed out and believe me someone poking that stick in my mouth every other day really upsets me.

The doctor says cats don't usually have any effects from these pills, but Mom is leary.  She's gone through this herself so she doesn't want me to experience anything like that.

We will just have to see what tomorrow brings.

But hey, the upside is Mom is spending more time with me lately.  The dogs are so jealous.  And I'm getting more food.  DOUBLE SCORE!

Gotta run, I think Mom wants to give me a back rub.

Later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Mom thinks my sneezing wasn't any better so she took me back to the vet on Friday.  I had to stay almost all day while they ran tests.  The vet said I had way too much protein in my blood and then ran urinalysis and that wasn't good either so they sent my labs in and Mom's waiting for the results.  They gave me a new antibiotic.  Can you believe it's "cherry" flavor.  What were they thinking.  I'm a cat, what do we know about cherries - what about chicken flavoring.  Mom has to squirt it in my mouth for five days.  I hate that.  I threw some back up on the table cloth, maybe that will make Mom know how disgusting it is.  I know Mom's just worried about me and following doctor's directions.  I try to tell her I'll be all right but she has that worried look on her face.  We should know this week.

There is a silver lining.  Mom is keeping the dogs away from me.  I have 3 rooms to myself.  It's heaven.

Oops gotta run, Mom just turned out the lights and I'm a hunt and pecker, and can't see in the dark.

Have a grand week.

Quigley has been in the spotlight before so he's being a good sport about it.  As long as he's included in the celebration and treats he doesn't mind a bit.

Mom gave me a special gold blanket to curl up on.  I love blankies.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well my friends, I've been sneezing this week and trying to keep a low profile so Mom wouldn't hear, but that woman has the eyes and ears of a bird of prey.  You guessed it, she took me to the vet to get me checked out.  I HATE TRAVELING.  As soon as I saw the cat carrier come into my room I tried to escape, but the woman is like a goalie, there was no place to hide and I was the puck.  I tongue lashed her all the way to the vet with my disapproval.  Of course it didn't do any good.  They checked me out, not sure of prognosis but am beeing treated for upper respiratory problems.  If not better have to come back by the end of the week.  I will get better, no more road trips Mom, PLEASE.  They put me on antibiotics.  Mom sprang for the more expensive shot instead of daily pills - thank you Mom.  I'm used to shots and this way Mom knows the medicine is in and doesn't have to torture me for 2 weeks getting meds down me.  If I have to endure this, I know Mom will make the cure as pleasant as she can.  She's a good Mom.  I think I'll keep her.

I'm languishing on my bed IN MY OWN ROOM - ha ha no dogs, and watching the sky fall.  Oops gotta run, time for another cat nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy, I can't believe Mom hasn't had time for my diary.  My last entry was in January.  Those two Bostonians take up all Mom's time.  

Things have really changed this year.  Mom filed for divorce in January and is still not divorced but at least Dad is out of the house now.  I was Dad's cat before he married Mom but he left me behind.  But that's okay because Mom really loves me.  She said I'd always have a home with her.  I guess Dad just didn't want to deal with a diabetic cat that has medical bills and has to have 2 shots a day.  

As soon as Dad was out of the house Mom turned his TV room into my very own room.  I was over the moon.  It has windows  on the whole wall overlooking the front yard and street so I can keep an eye on everything.  Mom feeds the squirrels and birds outside the window, so I have plenty to watch.  I'm getting on in years so Mom gave me a table to put my bed on and stretch out and high enough to be away from nosy dogs.  It has french doors on the room to keep me secluded when the dogs are in the front room.  I love it that the dogs can see me through the door windows but can't come in.  I try not to gloat.  They don't have their own room.  Mom must love me bunches.

I'm controlling my diabetes pretty well.  I really hate when Mom has to take me in to get tested.  I hate traveling.  As soon as I see the cat carrier come upstairs I know what time is and I take off.

So life is good.  I'm hanging in there.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, my friends are the best.  I just realized I have 160 fish to eat.  Thanks for the treats guys.   If any of you are in the neighborhood drop in.  I always share.

Another typical day.  Me just laying in my box on the dining room table.  Mom is home and she comes to talk and brush me at least every hour.   I think I'll keep her.  She keeps me from getting bored.  I have even forgiven her for sticking me with that needle twice a day.  That darn old diabetes.  I'm at four units now.  It's tough to get it regulated.  At least when Mom gives me my shot she brings some delectable morsel to distract me.  Now Dad another's story.  I sometimes hide when I see him coming.  There's something about a cat and his Mom.  Mom even tears up because I purr after my shot, just because I don't want her to feel bad.  I know she's just trying to help.

And Mom open the dining room gate at night so I get the run of the house.  Those crazy Bostonians are sleeping then.  Life is good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a very sad day.  My kind of twin - Maleka (she's a dog but we have the same eyes and we've been together for over 12 years) has been sick this week and Mom and Dad booked her passage on the train to the Rainbow Bridge.  She was my favoritest sister, she used to pick on my when we were little, hence the name Chewtoy, but as she matured, she respected my space, as I did hers.

She will be missed.  She was a very sweet girl.  Mom and Dad are very sad.

I was just diagnosed with Diabetes, but am doing well.  Mom says I need to stick around for another 10 or so years.  I'll try Mom.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe I fell for the oldest trick in the book.  Mom gave me catnip this morning.  What was I thinking?  I gobbled it all up and before I knew what was happening she put that ridiculous lavendar wig on me and took a photo.  Oh the shame of it all.  

Once I had my wits about me I threw it off and soundly trounced the offending headwear.    Please forgive me my friends, I will lay low until this blows over.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, Mom finally is attending to my diary entry again.  I just never get enough time with Mom with those dogs around.

Big news - Mom put the leaves in the dining room table so I have a huge area now.  I've been stretching out underneath the ceiling fan next to my sleeping box.  It has been glorious.  Mom said someting about me sharing the space with her sewing machine.  Wait a minute - you give and then you take, what kind of a deal is that Mom.  But then Mom explained it to me.  We will share the space.  Okay I can live with that and Mom doesn't have all that much time to sew anyway.

I have another area in Dad's TV room too, so I guess I can't complain.  And, the dogs can't come by me unless someone leaves the gate open.
So life is good.  Maybe Mom is making me a new blanket for my bed.

Uh oh, nap time.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Friends, last time Mom heped me write in my diary it was October.  OCTOBER - can you believe it.  

We were all so sad because we had lost Raffles and Callie.  Maleka and I tried but me being part Siamese, I'm naturally aloof and Maleka is just Maleka.  Likes to live out in the yard.  So in November after searching for a rescue fur face, Mom gave in and put a deposit down on a Puppy!  Mom what you were thinking a PUPPY.  The Momster had lost her senses.  So Maleka and I were just trying to get used to the idea that in two months the "Quigley" (puppy) would be arriving, and then before we knew it Priscilla came into our lives, just two days after Mom put the deposit down.  She was originally a Katrina rescue who now needed another new home.  She's a Boston, so Mom fell in love with her and the Quigley is a Boston too.  So things were hairy for awhile, but now everyone knows that I have seniority and to leave me alone.  Priscilla has even stopped jumping up on the table to eat my food.  I guess I'll let her stay.  She still has some issues, but we all love her and are helping her get over her issues. 

And, you wouldn't believe the energy the "Quiglely" has.  Man oh Man.  A real energizer bunny.  Mom has her hands full.

So with all this activity going on, my diary has been sadly neglected.  I love to sleep so I practically live in my box in the dining room, with occasional forays into the rest of the thouse just to let them know I'm in charge.

Well overdue for my beauty sleep.  Ta Ta.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My friends, last time Iwrote we were a family of three critters having just lost our dog brother Raffles.  Now sadly, we are a family of two.  my dog sister Callie's problem got worse and Mom had to send her to the Rainbow Bridge the middle of August.  We lost both of them in a span of 4 months.  Now it's just my dog sister Maleka and me.  When Mom and Dad got married 8 years ago we formed a type of Brady Bunch family.  It was Dad and his two blue-eyed critters and Mom and her two brown-eyed critters.  Now everyone in the house, Mom and Dad included have blue eyes.  

Mom has been so sad the last couple of months.  Maleka and I are really trying to cheer her up.  Maleka takes Mom for walks every day and I have put my aloofness on the back burner and have tried to be more doglike.  I've even sat in her lap a couple of times, which is rare for me.  AND I licked her hand the other night.  I have never done that before and I sleep on the foot of the bed right where Callie slept every night since I've known her.  It's raining today and Maleka is sleeping a foot away from Mom - very unusal as Maleka hardly ever stays in the house for very long.  She's a Husky and gets too warm to stay inside.

Callie and Raffles are together and very happy at the Bridge.  We see two stars over the house now and know that must be them watching over us.  They've said in their diaries that it's time for Mom to find a new furever friend, so we are waiting for the right little furface to come to us.

Well all this writing has plumb tuckered me out.  I will need to go take a catnap.  Later my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy, Mom never helps me write in my diary.  I'm so laid back and self sufficient she sometimes forgets I like to chat too.

I have the run of the house now that Raffles (monkey face) has gone to the bridge.  It's great, but as much as I enjoy no one chasing me, I wish he was here.  We all miss him so much.

It is so quiet.  My sisters Callie and Maleka are both almost totally deaf.  I think that's why Maleka barks more.  She's trying to hear herself.   They are 13 and 12 so not a lot of activity anymore.

Callie hasn't been feeling well lately.  She's been coughing and throwing up clear slime.   It's kind of gross but thanks to my graceful moves I haven't been slimed on yet.  Mom had her at the vet yesterday and they took a lot of tests and are stumped.  They took xrays too.  So now she's on a couple of medicines and a special food which she actually likes because it's canned and she usually doesn't get that.  Mom says we'll just have to see if the meds help.  

I kissed Callie on her nose today.  Mom said that was special medicine indeed.  

Gotta run - Callie has to send out gifts too.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My friends.  It's been almost a month since my dog brother Raffles went to the bridge.  He was 10+ years old.  We found out in January (after he had a lot of seizures in one night), that he had an inoperable  brain tumor.  He was a trooper and hung in there for almost 4 months until it got the best of him and Mommy said it was time for him to go to the bridge.    I still have 2 dog sisters, Callie and Maleka.  They are both going deaf and they sleep a lot so things are very quiet around the house.    Mommy was devastated when Monkey Face boarded the train to the bridge.  I've been trying to cheer Mommy up and stay close to her and stay with her until she falls asleep.  It's been a tough month.  Even though the little guy used to chase me (and of course he never caught me) around, I loved him and miss him too.

Mom moved my cat condo today to the window.   Something must be up, why did she move it.  I will have to investigate before I sleep on it.  It could be a trap.   I will ponder that during my nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Would someone please tell my Mom that cats don't have baths.   Mom has some kind of shampoo that she squirted on me, lathered me up and then dried me off.  The indignity of it, but at least there was no water involved.  Now my hair is all messed up.  I've been trying to get it just right all day.  But I do have to admit there is a new odor about my bed and it smells great.  I think it's me.  I guess I'll have to forgive her.

I have great news.  The outside pregnant cat was taken to a foster home and will have her kitties in safety and hopefully she and her babies will find forever homes.  We are keeping our paws crossed.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, Mom is finally letting me do a diary entry.  Those "dogs" always take up so much time, she never has time to help me with my diary.

I'm an inside cat so I don't have too many adventures.  I do get to venture down to the basement, but as my Dad is a carpenter he has all these noisy machines down there and I don't like to be around them.  The machines have all these wonderful piles of sawdust by them that are like little litterboxes all over.  Dad chases me out of there.  So I spend most of my time looking out the windows - I have accesss to all sides of the house, and I sleep in a box padded with blankets on the dining room table.  Life is good.

Mom is sad about Spec the 12 year old cat that lives next door.  Her family moved out in November and did not take her with, so the  poor thing has been surviving the cold Minnesota winter as best she can.  We couldn't take her in as we have a full house and she runs from people so Mom couldn't take her somewhere.  Mom made her a very cosy box lined with blankets and it has a swinging cat door so she's been hanging out in there and Mom and the neighbors upstairs have been feeding her.  Now that the house is going into foreclosure they cleaned up the yard and threw away her house.    Mom had an extra large covered litter box so she put that out in our front yard underneath the fir tree and she's using that now.  And of course those cats that roam the neighborhood have gotten her pregnant again.  Mom says she must have at least 3 litters a year and she's 12  years old.   So Mom's plan is to try and approach her when she's almost due.  She thinks she will be able to put her in a kennel then and take her somewhere safe.

So my job is to keep an eye on her during the day and report back to Mom.  

Oops I see her, I have to go keep tabs.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You guys won't believe this.  Mom went to Petsmart today and was looking at the Christmas clearance items.  You won't believe what she saw.  It's a kit that originally sold for $19.99 and it's kind of like fake fingernails for people.  It's for cats that claw furniture, you can put them on the tips of cats claws and they're kind of a plastic or rubber material.  They had different color tips.  She thought you had to glue them on.  Are they kidding?  That would be horrible.  What were they thinking?  Has any other cats heard of this?

It's been a quiet weekend.  Raffles had some surgery on his mouth and he's recovering so he's been sleeping a lot.  Callie is losing her hearing so she's been quieter too.  Life is great.  I've been getting in a lot of naps.

It's winters like these that I appreciate being an indoor cat.  It was 5 above today.  Those silly dogs have to go out in the cold to do their business and I all I have to do is walk over to the catbox.    Life is very good.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's challenging being in a house with 2 and sometimes 3 dogs in it.  Maleka likes to stay outside more than the brown-eyed dogs.  She thinks the whole yard is her kennel, so usually its just the three of us.  So Mom lets me climb on things to keep me away from the dogs.  So it's like an obstacle course getting up and over and around the dogs.  It must be what keeps me so fit.  But there's nothing more relaxing than laying in my box on the dining room table.  The sun comes in and hits me just right, I have access to windows on every side of the house so I can always find something to watch and Mom always gives me massages.  Life is good.

I would love to go outside, but Mom says it is too scary out there.  I tried one time this summer when I smelled the catnip in the backyard, but Mom caught me and sad to say I scratched Mom's leg and she still has the scar.  That reminds me I should stay inside where it is safe.

I'll have to check all my buddies and see if they've entered too.  

I'm trying to get Mom to make me a Halloween page.  I hope she does mine before the dogs start bugging her about there's.    Mom should have herself cloned.  There's always so much we want her to do.  That would be cool to have two moms.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Everyone has been upset the last few days.  Our neighbor's kitten has been stuck up in a tree for over three days with no water and food.  He was crying, everyone was so sad that they could not reach him.  The fire department said they could not help, nor the Humane Society or Animal Control.  Mom posted a message on Craig's list and a lot of people responded caring about this little ball of fluff.  

Cleo's Mom (upstairs neighbor) Jamie, was a hero, she got things rolling and found a very nice tree trimmer in Elk River who said he would drive (1 and 1/2 hours to help).  It was getting dark and the kitten was way up there, Mom says over 50 feet.  Neighbors on the other side came home and came over to help.  One of the guys climbed up there in the dark before the tree trimmer got there.  It was amazing.  He could have fallen, he could have got caught inthe wires.  He's another hero.  He got the kitty and brought her down and himself unharmed.  It really was a miracle.   The tree trimmer is another hero.  He drove all that way for people he didn't know and the kitten was rescued before he arrived.  Mom says that little ball of fluff brought everyone together.  There are just so many wonderful people out there.  Everyone will sleep well tonight.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a silly cat I am.  I managed to somehow post my last diary entry twice.  Mom just realized what we did and deleted it.  

Good news.  Mom found my 9 Lives Chicken cat food.  And it was on sale so she stocked up.  She bought 64 cans.  Now I can sleep in peace without worrying where my next meal is coming from.  

Mom is a little puzzled.  I used to nap all the time in the dining room but now she says that everytime she turns around there I am.  She says I'm acting dog like, that's a scary thought.  But Mom says she likes me there.  I'm not annoying and barking when I want something.  I just like to be in on where the action is.  Mom has a very comfortable huge chair that the dogs sit on with her and I have found that the top of the chair is very comfy and the dogs leave me alone.    And I sleep in the window by Mom's bed so I can purr her to sleep.

Life is good.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, it's been almost a month since I've written in my diary.  Nothing much new going on.  Just the usual chaos living in a house with three dogs.  I stay out of their way and they stay out of mine.

Oh wait a minute, I forgot to tell you guys I cornered a mouse under the dishwasher.  Mom was very proud of me.  Unfortunately it hasn't resurfaced but Mom's not worried.  She knows I will get it.  She hate to think of mice in her house, but she knows I'm ever vigilant.

I am a little concerned.  I have a food that I like and Mom is having trouble finding it.  I like 9 Lives Shredded Turkey or chicken.  For the last couple of weeks Mom couldn't find either.  She had to get me Fancy Feast.  It was pretty tasty, but I know it costs more than my usual stuff.  I'm that kind of a cat, I try to help Mom with her budget.  We're hoping that the store she goes to this weekend will have the 9-Lives.

Well have to sign off, Mom has to go over to Grandma's.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yay!  I had the house all to myself this morning.  No Dogs!  Mom took the brown-eyed children (Callie and Raffles) to the groomer.  They were gone almost 4 hours.  It was so quiet.  I loved it.  They are always so noisy.  I took advantage of the silence and took a really long nap.  It was the best sleep I've had in months.  This doesn't happen too often so I have to take advantage of the situation.  

When they came back they smelled really nice.  They let me check them all over until I got too close and Raffles had enough and chased me away.

Don't tell Callie but now she has Mr. Spock eyebrows.  Mom says they'll grow back.  

Mom and Dad were gone this afternoon and Callie and Raffles were so tired from this mornings activities that they slept all afternoon.  I thought it was my birthday or something.  What a cool gift.  I got to sleep uninterrupted all day.    Well time for another nap.  Bye

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last but not least.  Mom finally made me a slide show.  See, Raffles does know what he's doing.  The squeaky wheel gets the oil.  As I'm the laid back, not in your face pest, I'm always last.  But that's okay, because Mom keeps learning how to do the slide shows, so now mine is the best.

Those silly dogs are so warm today.  Even Mom is warm which is unusual.  I'm always nice and cool.

Well I've got to run because the squeaky wheel is in there now telling Mom his belly is empty.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well this has been quite the week.  It started out where I got in trouble for trying to sneak outside and get some catnip and accidentally scratched Mom's leg.  I wasn't in the doghouse for long though before the "girls" Callie and Maleka had a big fight.  It was over food of course.  Dogs can be so obtuse.  There are better things in life than food, like CATNIP.  Now that's something you might want to take the chance of getting in trouble for if that was the prize at the end of the rainbow.

Callie's ear does look sore.   She's the prettiest of the dogs.  I hope this won't leave a scar.  I told her it gives her character.    She makes sure she knows at all times where Maleka is now.  She's giving her a wide berth.  Callie is the Alpha dog.  She's smaller than Maleka but older and wiser and rules the roost.  It was very unlike Maleka to take that chance.  She must have been her usual self and not looking where her mouth was taking her.

Girls will be girls.  I hope next week is quieter.  It interrupted my nap time.
Cats are just more civilized.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi,

Yay, Mom just made me a page on Catster.  I kept bugging her because all my sibs (the 3 dogs - Raffles, Callie and Maleka)  have a page and I was feeling left out.   I was adopted from the Golden Valley Humane Society about 10 years ago.  I say about, because Dad never was one to keep records so he just has to guess.  Maleka and I don't even know our birthdays.  Dad got  me when Maleka was just a puppy.  I love my Dad, but come on - couldn't you come up with a better name than Chewtoy.  He was being funny, because Maleka would play with me and it looked like she was chewing on me, hence my name.  Now that Mom's in the picture, she calls me Chewie or Chewster which I like better.  I love Mom, but couldn't Dad have fallen in love with someone who didn't have two dogs.  I'M OUT NUMBERED.

This morning I think Mom wanted to call me something else.  I got in big trouble.  I'm not allowed to go outside because there are two busy streets by us and Mom doesn't want me to get hurt.  The dogs are secure in the back yard because Dad built a six foot wooden fence to keep them safe.  There are even locks on the gates.  But you know how us cats are, we will sneak under the fence or over it.  I did that once and almost got hit by a car.  Mom freaked and now I'm house bound for life.  So anyway, the reason I got in trouble this morning.  Mom planted catnip outside for me.  She brought some in for me this morning and it was so yummy I just had to have more.  So when Mom came in the house I tried to sneak out.  She tried to grab me and ended up getting me back in the house but not before I gave her a couple of big scratches on her ankle and the door closed on her arm and she has a few bruises.  I felt really bad.  After Mom got the blood cleaned up and Raffles kissed her ankle, she gave me pets so I know she forgave me.  Now If I can only forgive myself.  I will sleep by her tonight and give her extra purrs.
