We had some good times on Catster, and I'm going to miss her very much. She lived a long time with her Mommy, and I know both she and Diego will be very sad to not have LuLu around.

The third time happened while I was on the sofa sitting next to Mawmee and Daddy. I started hissing and then it turned to growling. I think I see something scary in my brain, and I hiss and growl to get rid of it. Nothing has changed as far as my medicine or food, so I'm not sure why this is happening, but we sure hope it doesn't happen tomorrow!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/783004 Mon, 4 Jun 2012 09:21:47 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/783004 Dang, I liked that spaceship so much that I went in it again.

When I asked him why he calls me this he said: I work to get in position, and once I'm there, I'm an immovable force!

Well, today Da Tabbies O Trout Towne have a diary entry about snakes. ... diary entry about snakes. I tried to leave a comment on their diary, but I got the dreaded Error 4 message. So, I wanted to leave my comment here. This is for you, Da Tabbies. We had a snake outside our garage the other day. Here is his picture! The Mawmee was trying to get in her car, but she didn't want to walk by the snake because snakes are known to jump in mid air and attack women. She called for our Daddy and made him move the snake. So he got an old litter bucket (we collect them) and tried to put the snake inside it so he could move the snake to the desert. The snake didn't like being disturbed from his nap! The moral of the story at our house . . . . . snakes are scary when they curl up near the garage!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/774614 Mon, 9 Apr 2012 20:52:16 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/774614 Every night Samoa gets locked in the guest room to sleep for the night.

I decided to enter because the top prize is a $150 bed, and who wouldn't want to win a big 'ole expensive bed! I'm the only one who entered the contest. It is one of those contests that isn't fair because it is based on people voting, and you know how that usually turns out. If you'd like to check out the picture I entered, you can see it here! It is on page 42, the second row, third picture from the left. I've already gotten 3 votes - MOL! I sure wish Catster would have their World's Coolest Contest - hopefully they will have it this year! Update - The people at the cat contest site realized that cats couldn't even find their own entry! So, they fixed it. Here is where you can find my picture! I don't know if you have to be on Facebook to vote, but you can see if this link works for you!

Wowza, I've had a lot of stuff happen in those four years. ... World's Coolest Contest will be coming up soon, so start looking through your pictures and saving the special ones you want to enter. Every year we hope that Catster would change out some of the categories and add some new ones to keep the contest exciting and fresh! Here are some of my suggestions: Coolest Whiskers Pawsome Paws Most Unique Face Inkspots - this would be any unusual markings you have on your body - like Gibbs' hearts. Most Curious Roadkill - this would be for the cat who is good at catching and bringing home presents. I've seen pals with mousies in their mouth - wouldn't those be pawsome entries? I'll bet you all could come up with some good categories too. Give me some suggestions, and I'll send HQ a note with our ideas! Check out the cake on my page - it has four candles! Take a piece and join me in my anniversary celebration!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/730759 Wed, 3 Aug 2011 10:15:06 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/730759 You can read Newman's diary to find out about our car ride to Arizona! Mawmee and Daddy were really ... I've learned how to jump again! If you remember, Mawmee bought a small table to put in our cat room so the dry food bowl could be there for everycat who eats dry food. I'm not allowed to eat dry food because of that Crystal chick. I learned how to jump on that table! So, she moved the bowl to a hallway counter that is a little higher. As soon as I hear Inky's tags hitting the side of the food bowl, I come running and jump up there to eat with him! Mawmee is not happy about this, so now the dry food can't sit out all day for cats to munch on. Inky and Newman aren't happy about that either! I think I saw the food bowl going up on top of the refrigerator! I haven't tried the counter-to-refrigerator jump yet. It is a little too high for me! I did have two small seizures a couple of days ago. We're trying to get my meds on a schedule. Because of the three hour time difference, Mawmee was a little late giving it to me one night, so that is probably why I had them. But I'm doing okay now. One of my liquid medicines (which I don't like) now comes in a pill form. We used to have the medicine shipped to Kentucky from Arizona! And now that we live here, they delivered it right to our door! It is a place that does compounding of drugs for pets. I get my potassium bromide from them. We have a lot of windows in our new house, so the sun is always coming in. Violet and I are loving the sunspots! I found my favorite place to snooze - on one of the chairs in the family room. We are all getting used to a new schedule of getting up early! Mawmee wasn't too excited about it at first because she is so tired from all the packing and unpacking, but she knows she will be able to get a lot more done in the day! And hopefully we will get more Catster time! Thanks to all you cats who purred for us during our journey. Daddy had to go back to Kentucky to finish up some stuff. Mawmee is going back in September for a wedding, and they have already found a vet for us. It is a really nice place and they have boarding too, so that is where we will stay. The non-Catster catsitters around here charge $25 a visit, and Mawmee needs them to come twice because of my medicine. It won't cost much more than $50 a day to board all of us, and then we'll be right at the vet's office if anything should happen. We'll only be there three nights, and they have a webcam and everything where she can go on the computer and see us! Here it is if you want to check it out! They got a tour of the place, and Mawmee says it is better than most people hospitals! MOL!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/728282 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 17:34:53 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/728282 I've been extra wobbly and unstable, so Mawmee took me to see the vet lady yesterday. You see, I ha ... Together Tag that registers me similar to a micropchip. I won the Together Tag for one of the World's Coolest prizes one year. Now, you all know how scared the vet ladies are of rabbits. There are always two rabbits in cages in the lobby, and they make cats spend the night there to protect them from the rabbits. I've had to do this job numerous times, and now that I'm leaving, they are going to have to get extra cats to protect them. My pawsome poet pal, Dude Kitty, penned this farewell poem for my vet ladies (who he nicknames fear). Good bye “fear” you served us well To what vet we’re goin' we will not tell. We won't stay at your place no more Our butts be goin' out your front door. We can not stay and kitty sit, If you see a hare don’t have a fit! Rabbits are truly not all that scary, They are not big foot large N hairy. We are not sure why you fear hares, It’s not like they be grizzly bears! So if a hare comes in, do not us phone ah we are shufflin off ta airy zona! Good bye “fear” you served us well, We left you a hare it’s time to yell! Thanks, Dude Kitty, for making me laugh!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/723836 Tue, 31 May 2011 18:09:02 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/723836 I've got some step stories to tell you!

So, n ... caption the picture games in their diaries. So, now it is my turn! Mawmee came upon two kitties snuggling together in the big bed. Since that doesn't happen much around here, she said, isn't that precious?, grabbed the camera, and took a picture! Now it is your turn to guess . . . . . Which is which? It's a pretty easy game . . . . . put your guess in the diary comment!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/715776 Mon, 21 Mar 2011 08:00:55 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/715776 I had a small seizure monster visit me last night.

It wasn't a really bad seizure, but I still drooled all over the place. Later on, she gave me another 1/4 of my pills that helps with my seizures. The only thing Mawmee can figure out is that one of my pills is broken into 4 pieces. Sometimes the pieces aren't of equal size, and maybe I didn't have enough in my system. It is the pill that we have reduced to the lowest amount for it to work okay and not make me too out of it. I sure hope it was only one time cause I don't like having the Seizure Monster visit!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/712823 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 19:23:56 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/712823 You've heard of those singers who became famous for one song and then never have another hit . . . . ... one hit wonders.

I'm a one poop wonder!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/711659 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:55:14 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/711659 I've started a new game at our house during meals. We all have special places where Mawmee puts our ... eat your dinnie, Gleek, eat your dinnie. I don't really think dinnie is a word, but she makes up words like that all the time. I've decided that Inky's bowl of food looks better than mine, so after a couple of bites, I go over and push my nose into his bowl. He doesn't care. He moves over to my bowl. Just about that time Newman is finishing and then he has to go over and sniff Samoa's tail. By sniffing her tail, she leaves the bowl, and he gets the leftovers. Mawmee says she needs 6 arms about the time I go to Inky's bowl, Inky goes to my bowl, and Newman sniffs Samoa's tail. Then it's Violet's turn to play. He comes to my bowl when he still has stuff in his own bowl, but by that time Newman is over at his bowl. It's pretty funny to watch. If we all ate the same thing, it wouldn't matter, but I have the Crystal-kickin' food, the other three boys get Natural Balance turkey, and the girls get Fancy Feast . . . . cause you, know, girls are fancy. Do you play musical bowls at your house?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/710541 Mon, 7 Feb 2011 20:30:20 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/710541 All you cats know that we can't date until we're 21, but we are allowed to have special friendgirls ... Bee Mine, so she asked me! Do you know Popeye? She is really pretty, and very fluffy. The reason she is named Popeye is because when she was a little kitty, she would wake up in the morning and one eye would be open and the other eye would be closed! Her Mom would wipe her eye every morning with a wet cotton ball to help wake up that eye! And guess what? Midnight is her real cat Mom! How cool is that? They don't even look alike! I also found out that Popeye is really talented. She can jump up five feet on the wall and turn off the lights at the switch! She likes shoes too, but what girl doesn't? I'm happy to have Popeye as a new friendgirl! Like Rocky Ann always used to say . . . . you can never have enough friends (or friendgirls)!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/710337 Sun, 6 Feb 2011 08:38:14 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/710337 See if you can picture this in your head: Last night when we all went to bed 1.

This morning when we woke up 1. Red towel in the hallway outside the bathroom with Inky sitting on it. 2. Violet in the bathroom. 3. Me in the bathroom. We're magicians! I'm not telling how we did it, but you should have seen Mawmee's face when she opened up the bathroom door and saw Violet and me! Okay, I'll tell you how we did it. The bathroom door doesn't shut tight, so Mawmee rigged a piece of yarn from the doorknob to the stair banister. It was pretty tight, but I must have had the strength of an elephant, and I pushed the door open enough to get inside. The door then shut behind me. In doing all of that, the red towel must have been pushed close to the door, and Inky, with Newman helping him, pulled the towel under the door out into the hallway. Mawmee and Daddy have been shutting their bedroom door at night. See all the excitement they missed? Who knows what we'll do tonight! I can't wait to find out. Maybe we'll try to make Samoa disappear!

And the alternative is to put a catheter in me. That has been done 3-4 times already. The last time the vet had trouble getting the catheter in me because scar tissue builds up each time that catheter is put in your pee wee hole. So, now you know what I said, when it rains, it pours . . . .

Unfortunately, one of ... everywhere, so guess who had to get isolated in one of the bedrooms? Yeah, that non-Catster catsitter decided that she couldn't monitor whether I was getting my pills and food, so she put me in the computer room. I didn't have a bed to hide under, so she was able to love on me, and give me my liquid medicine. It was lonely in there, but Newman sat outside the door, and we talked everyday. I want to let the girlcats know (especially LuLu) that even though I've lost some weight, I'm still a very handsome hunk of a mancat. I was very glad to see my Mawmee, and I've been following her around. She noticed I'm not as wobbly as when she left for vacation, so that is good news. I'm also jumping on the sofa easier, and I even jumped on the bed this morning. I think all that extra junk in my trunk was weighing me down. Well, I've got to go - there is a big 'ole blinking box under my diary that says I've won a $1000 Walmart gift card cause I must be the 1,000,000 visitor to my diary page.

I think they are training them to not be afraid of the big giant rabbit in the lobby. So, after listening to Mawmee say a few bad words, we got back in the car and went to McDonald's for lunch. I didn't even get a french fry, but I did get a Hello Kitty watch.

I was hoping to be a finalist in the World's Coolest Contest in the sleep category so that I could have a three-peat if I won, but I guess I'll need to work on sleeping even cuter than I did this year. I'm still proud of my championship pictures from the past two years. We're all pretty happy that Mawmee is back from her long walk. Daddy was petrified that I was going to kick the bucket while she was gone, and he didn't want it happening on his watch - MOL! I didn't see any buckets around here to kick, but I did learn some new manuevers that I tried on Daddy when he gave me my liquid medicine. He called it the kangaroo kick. Mawmee told him to crouch down around me so that when I tried to back up, I couldn't go anywhere. He did that, but then I double dare tricked him by using my big back legs to kick him as I jumped really high in the air! It worked every time! Well, I've got to go check out the kitchen to see if there is going to be a birthday cake for me! If I don't see one, at least I have a lot of pumpkin pie and cupcakes on my page!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/697194 Wed, 27 Oct 2010 19:10:52 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/697194 The vet lady called this afternoon with my bloodwork results. I have toxoplasmosis. It's a big 'ol ... toxoplasmosis. It's a big 'ole long word, and it means I have to take an antibiotic for a whole month. Sometimes we have stuff inside us that is asleep, and it isn't until you get stressed that it wakes up. My toxo was taking a long nap, and when that Crystal chick showed up three times, the toxo woke up from his nap! Toxo is not a good thing to have when you're an FIV kitty like me. Sometimes the medicine (clindamycin) doesn't work, but I'm hopeful that it will work for me. I've only been on it a couple of days, but Mawmee says I'm not as drunk as I was before. I still get wobbly going up the steps, but I didn't fall backwards today! I'm having a little easier time jumping on the sofa and the bed. I get to have my very own slumber parties with Mawmee while Daddy is having his slumber parties with Sugar in the guest room. Sometimes Newman bangs on the door because he wants to join our party, but Mawmee won't let him. My phenobarbitol levels were a little high, so I'm going to cut back that pill from 1 pill twice a day to 3/4 pill twice a day. The vet lady said if you get too much of that medicine over time, it isn't good for your organs. Mawmee will have to monitor me and make sure I don't have any seizures on this lower dose. Thanks so much for all the purrs I'm getting from all my pals. I know it will help me get better.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/696893 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 13:30:09 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/696893 Well, I may be the Skipper, but for the past few days, I've been acting like a drunken sailor.

I'm on the front page of Catster today! Not the Community front page, but ... vet tech debacle from a few weeks ago. However, I've been especially loopy and imbalanced lately. Because I'm rather rotund, I go to jump on the sofa, and I don't have enough oomph, and I fall backwards. Mawmee had to move the coffee table because she was afraid I was going to hit my head. And then last night as I was hopping up the stairs, I started to lose my balance and almost fell backwards all the way down. Mawmee isn't sure if the higher dose of valium is stil in my system, but she thinks it should be out by now. Something is making me super sleepy and clumsy.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/693974 Mon, 4 Oct 2010 11:52:06 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/693974 Saturday when Mawmee and Daddy picked me up at the vet's office around 12:30, the vet tech gave Mawm ... p.m. written on it, so she only gave me the liquid meds on Saturday. Well, isn't that a fine howdy doody? When Mawmee dropped off the medicine on Friday, she explained to the vet tech that she only brought one pill container - and that even though it said p.m. on it, the Friday pills were for Friday night, and the Saturday pills were for Saturday morning. And the liquid was for Friday night. So, that stupid vet tech - yeah, I called her stupid - didn't bother to write any of that down, didn't bother to give me any medicine, and didn't leave a note for the vet tech on Saturday. I got no pills Friday night. I got no liquid medicine Friday night. I got no pills Saturday morning. I got liquid medicine Saturday morning (that I'm supposed to get at night). When they got in the car, Mawmee immediately gave me my pills, but she knows how delicate a balance it is with this seizure medicine. I've had three seizures - one late yesterday afternoon, and two in the middle of the night. I've been sleeping in the bedroom with Mawmee and Daddy, and the door has been closed to keep the others out. Luckily, Daddy felt the bed shaking and woke Mawmee up. She held me while I had the seizure so I wouldn't fall off the bed. Then I had another one a couple of hours later. She decided to increase by 1/4 one of my pills, and after talking to the vet, she is going to keep it at that level for a week or two until things get settled in my system. Mawmee talked to the vet lady today and told her how disappointed she was about my not getting my medicine since it is critical for me to stay on it! The vet lady was very apologetic, and we sure hope someone got ripped a new you-know-what! My pee wees on Saturday were really good. They have tapered off quite a bit, but there is good news! I don't like the special Purina Crystal-kicking food, but we had a couple of cans of Hills S/D Crystal-kicking food, and I like it! We're all staying off the dry food. It will be a challenge for Mawmee to figure out how much we should all be eating, and she knows a wet food diet is going to be more expensive, but it couldn't be any worse than the vet bills we have had recently! Thank you sooooo much for all your purrs - I know they have helped me. I still need your purrs because after talking to the vet lady today, Mawmee is almost 100% convinced that the surgery would not be good for me because of my seizures. When a cat has neurological problems, it is usually an indication of FIV in an advanced stage. The vet lady is going to talk to the vet specialist to see what he thinks about surgery on an FIV kitty who has seizures. Then they will make a decision. BUT, if I keep eating the Crystal-kicking food, and I don't have a blockage again, then I won't need the surgery. So, that is what I hope you all will purr for me - let's kick Crystal to the curb! And we might be kicking that vet tech to the curb right along with her . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/693545 Fri, 1 Oct 2010 07:10:47 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/693545 The vet lady called Mawmee and said they were able to get a catheter in me.

That stupid Crystal chick visited me again last night ar ... Cranberries! That stupid Crystal chick visited me again last night around midnight. After trying to do my pee wee, I went in Mawmee's closet which is where I go when I'm not feeling good. But later, I felt a little better because I got on the bed with them. This morning we got up early, and I went to the vet's office before the vet lady even got there! She just called Mawmee and said that yep, I was blocked. She said there were two options: 1. She could try to unblock me again - she would have to sedate me so I would relax and she could try to get Crystal out of my pee wee tube. There might be a lot of scar tissue in there which could be one of the reasons that Crystal visits. 2. She called the vet specialty place to see if they had any openings today for a PU surgery. PU - what kind of procedure calls itself PU? They had an opening for me. Mawmee asked how much the surgery would cost, and it is a big number, and an even bigger number if there are complications. Daddy had not gone to work yet, and they discussed what should be done. It is always a difficult decision because you've got emotions and money involved. You can logically see both sides - emotionally you say, yeah, do the surgery. But then financially, you say, can we put this much money into every cat in the house when they get sick like this? Mawmee and Daddy think about everything that was done for Spunky when his tumor came back. A lot of money was spent, and the outcome was only a few more months before he made his journey to the bridge. In my situation, we are not just dealing with having the surgery because we've heard of several cats that have had it done successfully. We also have to consider that I have FIV. Mawmee asked about complications of that surgery with an FIV cat. She said there is always a risk if there is an infection after surgery. And then you think about the money that racks up when I go to the vet and spend a couple of days. So, as you can see, it becomes complicated. The decision was made for now. The vet lady is going to sedate me and see if she can unblock me once again. And we'll go from there . . . . . Please keep me in your purrs.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/691226 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 07:19:03 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/691226 I'm a plane . . . . that is what I was thinking yesterday as I flew through the air from the deck! ... double cat dared me to jump.

The first thing I did was head straight into the living room for the sun patch over by th ... green badge of courage. Mawmee took it off of me and my leg felt much better. I've been doing lots of little pee wees in the box. The vet lady said that when I came home and started walking around that I would feel more pressure like I had to pee. I ate a little dry food, but I won't touch the wet food. Mawmee is going to figure out a way to trick me into eating it. Right now I'm resting on the sofa. But, the real story you have to hear is about the bird that was in the lobby. It was a big eagle - he was blue with red tail feathers. He doesn't belong to the vet lady, but he was staying there while his family is on vacation. They brought him out into the lobby so he could look around. He was in a humongous cage. Mawmee went over to talk to him, but he wouldn't talk until she started to walk away. Then she would go back and talk to him, and he would be quiet. Then she would walk away, and he would start whistling and talking. Here are some of the things he said: Hello Can you whistle? Apparently he can whistle the theme song from the Andy Griffith Show! The girls said you have to get him started, but none of them could whistle. Mawmee tried, but he must not have recognized it from her poor whistling skills! There was a man in the vet's office, and when he started laughing, the bird laughed too. It was really funny. When we left, he said goodbye to us! I think it would be fun to have a talking bird, don't you? I'm sending purrs to my pal, Charlie. That stupid chick, Crystal, visited him too. His vet visit was double the cost of mine, but luckily, Charlie has insurance! His Mommy was smart to get it for him and Leo when they were kitties. I wonder if they have their very own insurance card? I hope you're feeling better soon, Charlie!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/686886 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:05:01 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/686886 I got my pee wee tube out this afternoon.

I've been locked ... go here! I've been locked in the bedroom so Mawmee can monitor my food intake and pee wees. I'm peeing, but it is small amounts. She is hoping that is because there is some inflammation, and not because I'm getting blocked up again. I like my new dry food, but not the wet food. She is going to try to trick me by adding in a little Fancy Feast. I'm smarter than that, and there will be no tricks. The Moms were talking on Facebook about me and about kidney foods. Gimme's Mom mentioned Wysong, and they have a Uretic dry food. They don't sell it around here, but we are definitely going to try it because the ingredients are much better than Science Diet. Newman came in to visit me, but he acted all weird because I smell a little bit, and because there was a litterbox in the room. He is so silly. I'm going to catch up on my snoozing today. Keep your paws crossed that I start peeing better and don't have to go back and get that tube put in my pee wee hole again!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/681881 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:52:04 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/681881 I'm home!

Today I went to the litterbox, and I stood there ... crystals - she was able to express some crystals from my pee wee hole. Dang, how did they get there? I wonder if Newman had something to do with it while I was sleeping last night? I'm going to stay at the hospital overnight. They are going to sedate me, and put in a catheter to get rid of my pee wee, and flush out my crystals. They want to observe me for at least 24 hours, maybe longer. All they're going to see when they observe me is how good I sleep! They'll probably hear me snore too. The vet said my kidney wasn't too big, so we caught it early, and that is a good thing. The vet lady said I might have to go on special food. I'm sure I won't like it, and I'm sure it will be expensive. MOL! So, if you have an extra purr to throw my way, I'd appreciate it. Save your rosettes, please. Just leave me a comment, and I'll be very happy. Mawmee is going to bring them my medicine and my sleep blanket too.

I was crouching like a hidden dragon or tiger or whatever it is called because I've never been on the deck before. Apparently the door had not been shut tight, and a little wind blew it open. Daddy said to do a headcount cause the white boy was nowhere in sight! He was upstairs sleeping on the cat tree. Dang, he missed it. Daddy was laughing and saying that it is a good thing the prison warden came in the house or all the prisoners would have escaped! I don't think any of us would dare jump off the deck.

Our non-Catster cat sitter showed up, and I pushed ... everywhere for me and couldn't find me! Mawmee gave her some suggestions on where to look, and then she got really worried thinking maybe I slipped out to the garage when they were taking suitcases to the car. And Daddy locks up his office in the lower level of the house, and they were really freaking out thinking I might have sneaked in there. Karen doesn't have a key, so she would have to break the door down to get me out! The next plan was to call the non-Catster neighbor and have her go look for me. Maybe our non-Catster catsitter smelled like a dog, and I didn't want her finding me! So, she came over and found me . . . . . . . . under the bed! She said she had no idea how I got under there because none of the pillows had been moved, so I probably squeezed through them somehow! Guess what the final plan ended up being? This morning Karen found me under the bed, and Newman was under there with me. Newman got scooted out the door, and I'm now locked in the bedroom with my own litterbox, food, water, and they will bring me my pills and hope I come out from under the bed to take them! I might get used to Karen mid-week - that is what Mawmee is hoping!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/671416 Wed, 12 May 2010 12:29:38 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/671416 After the step incident with the non-Catster catsitter, I'm now not being real friendly when strange ... http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/670622 Sat, 8 May 2010 08:03:36 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/670622 Mawmee got a brainstorm when she got in bed last night.

I've only ever been a diary pick once before and that was way back in ... Arriba, arriba! Felicitaciones por tu honor diario! Estamos tan orgullosos de ti! Yeah, Hooch, I am pretty orgullosos - maybe I should cut back on my treats. I haven't had much time to work on my tan this summer. I'll try to catch a sunbeam today and work on it. Dang, I'd better work on my Spanish too. I didn't know I'd have to learn another language just to be able to read my rosettes! Thanks to all my pals who have sent me rosettes and pmails! We've got another week after this one, and then we'll be on staycation. Luckily, I get to stay home since Karen, our non-Catster catsitter, is able to give me my medicine. I'm going to be busy before Mawmee and Daddy leave labelling all the stuff in the house so Karen doesn't break anything. I need to make signs that say Cat Beds so she doesn't try to take a nap in one of our beds. And I'd better label our food so she doesn't try to eat some of it. The cat steps have been thrown away so we won't have that problem again! If she is real quiet when she visits, then I won't hide under the bed. Mawmee told her how important it is for me to get my medicine because if I don't get it, then I have seizures. I've been doing really good and not having any seizures! Violet said I could tell you about the hotel visitor! We've been putting food in the hotel instead of on the front porch. The other day we looked out the back window and saw Mr. Raccoon walking into the woods. We're not sure if he is helping himself to the buffet inside the hotel. We sure don't want a fight between the raccoon and the stray kitties. A couple of times our black and white kitty visitor has been showing up on the front porch. He looks in the living room window at us. I think he hasn't figured out where the food is located now. But, we also found out that the eggs in the bird's nest are gone - some mean bird must have eaten them because the nest is okay. We think if a cat got to the nest, it would be on the ground, but it is still in the tree. I feel sad for the mama robin. But, we can put food back on the front porch now that there won't be any baby birds. It gets real complicated around here with all the wildlife . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/669236 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:19:28 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/669236 Mawmee and Daddy are back from our Auntie Eva's funeral.

As you can imagine, Karen weighs more than a cat, so the step (which is plastic and covered in lambswool) cracked and made a loud noise. I ran under the bed. She said I got all my medicine, and we made sure she knew that if I don't get my medicine, I have seizures. I was under the bed when Mawmee and Daddy got home. It took me awhile before I came out from under that bed! And the steps are now in the garbage can . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/667345 Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:00:06 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/667345 You all remember Frankie, don't you?

Well, Judy put Frankie on Catster in hopes of finding him a forever home. You can read all about it on his page. So, this lady named Vicky decided to bring Frankie into her house because he couldn't be in a home with other cats because he has FeLV. And then they were gonna look for a permanent home for him. But we all knew what was going to happen, didn't we? Frankie was gonna make Vicky fall in love with him! And it worked! Vicky has decided to keep Frankie all for herself! Isn't that the most pawsome news ever? Vicky has to go to Canada in the summer, so Frankie will either have a petsitter, or Judy will come over and take care of him. I'm so happy for you, Frankie!

We have a mama robin with f ... where is Violet? He thought Violet was outside at the hotel! It wasn't Violet, but it was a kitty that looked like a cross between Violet and me. He figured out how to climb the ramp to the hotel. And he went inside to eat. When he came out, he sat on the veranda of the hotel and smacked his lips. Of course, we've never seen him before. After Mawmee ate, she went outside to see if he was friendly or a feral. He was super friendly, and talked the entire time Mawmee was petting him. He has pretty green eyes, and we're keeping our paws crossed that he lives around here somewhere. He has all his claws and they look a little long, so it is hard to tell if he is a stray. He is pretty clean looking and so friendly that if he is a stray, he hasn't been out in the wild very long. Mawmee looked for his fruit cups but didn't see any, so he might be a girl. It was hard to tell without flopping him over on his back or picking him up, and she didn't want to do that! They all know which house to come to for food!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/662817 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:34:53 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/662817 Well, my seizure-free living came to an end tonight.

It was an ... World's Coolest Contest was a $25 gift certificate from PetSmart. It was an on-line code, so we had to order something from their website. Mawmee would have preferred to have a giftcard because then we could have gone to the store and not had $5 eaten up with shipping costs! They should think about that for next year. Maybe you can use the code in the store, but we have some really dumb girls that work in our PetSmart store. You should see how they examine the $1 off coupon that we use for our litter! Anyway, Mawmee just got around to ordering us something. Since it was my prize, I got first pick. I like scratching at the carpet, and so do most of us. We have a couple of upright scratchers, so now we're going to try this mat that lays on the floor! I also told Mawmee to get something for Sugar. Her favorite toy in the whole wide world are these soft golf balls. She loves the blue one that we have, and when it gets lost under furniture, she cries! Last night Mawmee had to act like a contortionist and get the ball from the back of the furniture that holds the television. I know Sugar will be excited to have several of these balls around. And we got some catnip too - the Cosmic kind! That was a gift for Mawmee so she can fill up those little catnip pillows that get put in with the Cat in the Clover orders.

I don't think I have to answer this question since I sort of answered the first one. 3.What's your favorite Love Song? Who sings it? I think the Love Boat theme song is pretty cool, but I've never been on a boat so I really don't know if it is exciting and new or not. 4.What would be a Perfect Valentines Day for you?

I'm blaming Newman for it. I like to cuddle with Newman, and he is really nice about grooming my face. But, then the kitten kicks in, and he literally bunny kicks me sometimes!

Frankie lives near Las Vegas and needs to find a forever home so he doesn't have to live behind a hotel anymore. Something about Frankie really made us sad and pulled at our hearts- he looks like such a pawsome cat that really needs to be in a loving home. So I wrote about him in my diary. Then I get a diary comment from Miko who lives . . . . . . in LAS VEGAS, baby! Miko and his family are meezers, and they are going to contact the nice lady who feeds Frankie about possibly adopting Frankie into their home of meezers! Are you doing a big WOO HOO yet?

Mawmee and Daddy were around to see both of them. I drool a lot when ... Mathis der Meowler told me some important info about the liquid medicine I'm taking that is supposed to taste like tuna juice. It is called potassium bromide, and Mathis told me that sometimes cats can be allergic to it. He said if I start coughing, that will be indicator that I'm allergic to it. He used to take it for epilepsy, but developed that cough that continued to get worse when he stayed on it. Now he controls his seizures with phenobarbital. Mawmee said that is one reason we love Catster so much - there is a lot of experienced cats and humans that give good advice based on the things they have gone through already. The vet lady and the other vets she got feedback from think the seizures are from having FIV. Mawmee wonders if maybe I have a brain tumor. The vet lady said the only way to know would be to do a CAT scan because you can't see stuff like that on an x-ray. Unfortunately, they dont have a CAT scan machine, but the place where Spunky went for his chemo has one. Apparently it is very expensive to get one, and the treatment would probably be the same for now. Mawmee thinks it is weird that I scratch my head alot, and that my hair looks a little thinning in the temple area. She thinks it has always been a little thinning in that area, but she isn't positive. Sometimes her brain works overtime, and she tries to outguess the vets. I just joined the Epilepticats group, so I'll sniff around in there to see what other cats experience when they have seizures.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/645613 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 11:42:58 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/645613 I haven't had a chance to tell you the latest about the seizure monster.

The blog lady asked the ladycats their opinion of me. Be sure to read their funny responses. Of course, Samoa, had to throw in her two cents. She told everycat that I snore! It's really just loud purring through my nose! Mawmee and Daddy had planned to go to Ohio Grandmaw's house tomorrow. Since I have to take seizure medicine, I'm going to the vet . . . . . . . maybe. Daddy said he feels like he might be getting a cold. Ohio Grandmaw just got home from a week's stay in the hospital. She is a frail, skinny lady, and this hospital trip was really rough on her. The last thing Daddy wants to do is give her a cold because she has a low resistance right now. So, they are going to see how Daddy feels tonight and in the morning, and then make the decision. So, I might be going, or we might all be staying home! Just in case I go to the vet, Mawmee went to check out my accommodations. I have to be in their isolation area because I have FIV. My vet lady said she knows I can't spread it to the others, but it is their policy so that other cat owners don't freak out and sue them or something. The isolation area is a nice room with four big cages. I will take my own bed, and a rug for the bottom of the cage since it is stainless steel and Mawmee doesn't want me getting cold. It is only for a couple of nights, and then our non-Catster catsitter will pick me up Saturday morning. I'll be spending the day saying a lot of ho-ho-ho's since I'm Wednesday's Santa! Merry Christmas to all my Catster pals!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/642694 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:00:21 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/642694 OMC! I almost had a seizure when I saw that I won! I'd like to thank the Acatemy for my World's ... World's Coolest Contest win! I sure had some good competition, including the princess of this house, and my brother's bestest friend. So, I've decided that since I'm a good sitter from last year, and I can look like a fierce pirate from this year - I'm going to stick around here long enough to win every category. I think I'll save the Wet Cat category for last! MOL! I'd like to thank my photographer who works very hard at making me look like a natural in front of the camera. I won't tell you how many takes it takes to take a good picture - MOL! I'd like to thank all my friends who have left me some pawsome trophies, diamonds, rosettes, and pmails! It sure makes me feel happy. I also got extra treats tonight! Mawmee and Daddy are planning to go visit Ohio Grandmaw for a few days for Christmas. Since our non-Catster catsitter would have a hard time giving me my medicine, I'm going to the vet's office to stay cause they know how to give pills! I'm thinking I should wear my pirate hat so they will know that I'm the World's Coolest. So, do you think that makes me the World's Coolest Pirate? Because if it does, I think Morgan the Pirate Gato, Captain Morgan, and Gordy (the biggest pirate wannabe around) are gonna be upset.

So, I growled and hissed for the vet. I try to cooperate whenever I can. The vet lady said sometimes things like this will happen if the phenobarbital levels are too high. So, she is checking that in my blood. And she is also checking to see how my toxoplasmosis is doing. The blood has to be sent to some expert, and we won't know anything for a couple of days. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep growling and hissing and staring off into space. I see things, but I'm not telling you what I see.

I'll be starting on that medicine for three weeks, and then I'll get tested again to see if my IGG and my IGM are higher. The IGG and the IGM are too complicated for me to understand. And there is more complication. Back when I first came to live here, Mawmee had me tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus). My ELISA Snap test came back positive. ELISA Snap doesn't always know what she is talking about, so they can do a bigger test called Western Blot. Western Blot knows what he is talking about, and everybody believes the result of that test. My Western Blot was negative. We all felt pretty good about that. Well, last week ELISA Snap said I was positive for FIV. Dang, can't we tell her to keep her trap shut? Because that test came back positive, it makes things complicated because we don't really know what is going on - because, like I said, it is complicated! The vet is going to see if they have enough blood to get Western Blot to check it again. Western Blot is a busy guy, so it might take a week to get those results back. We're hoping and purring that it comes back negative. In the meantime, I'll be staying on the phenobarbital pills and also take the Clindamycin. And the vet is going to also have me take some pill that will help with my immune system. If I test negative for FIV, and if my IGC and IGM go back to normal after being on the medicine, I will come off the phenobarbital, and we'll know that what I have is toxoplasmosis. Are you confused yet? It's complicated . . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/634181 Mon, 9 Nov 2009 12:45:34 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/634181 I'm still waiting for the vet to call me with my blood results.

Luci told me that there is a new television show called Glee, and that the fans of the show are calling themselves Gleeks! How funny is that?

My former Dad used to use the nickname Gleek instead of his last name. My former Mom called me Kitty because she had so many cats over the years that she was plum out of names - MOL! When my former Mom got sick and went to the hospital, my new Mawmee decided that I needed a new name. So she came up with Gleek, and I like it a lot!

A Febreze candle that lasts 30 hours 4. A doggie chew toy I'm giving Newman the carrying case because it is a little small for a hunk of a cat like me. Now I think we have carrying cases for all of us! I'm giving Mawmee the spray and candle. I was going to give Rocky the chew toy, but he isn't into toys much, so we'll save it for the next doggie that orders something from the Etsy shop. I went downstairs to meet Rocky tonight. I'm not afraid of him, but we didn't get really close yet.

When you sell a house, the new owners pay some inspector dude to check things over. They make a list, and Mawmee and Daddy had to decide what items on the list they would fix. There were some small items - like birds building a nest in the eaves, and some cracks in the concrete patio - stupid stuff like that. Mawmee was very worried that there would be babies in the nest. When the repair dude went up in the attic to check it out, he said the birdies had punched a hole in some screening, and there was a lot of nesting material. He is going to fix the screen. And the good news - there were no eggs, and no baby birdies! Mawmee was afraid she was going to be taking care of baby birds. We all could have helped her with that . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/470942 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 07:08:21 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/470942 We had a family meeting and decided to each take a letter in Father's Day and describe our Daddy usi ... H stands for Handsome My daddy is handsome, just like me! He looks a little bit like before-plastic-surgery-Kenny Rogers. He has a mustache and beard. Mawmee has never seen him without it. Before he had gray hair, he looked like a caveman with his red, bushy beard. Now he keeps his beard really short. His hadsomeness has grown over the years. I think it has something to do with us cats. The more cats he has, the more handsome he becomes! The gray doesn't have anything to do with us. See Calvin's word for the reason he is gray!

It uses bird poopie! I'm not kidding! They call it ... Bird Poop Facial. I guess Nightingale birds make the best poopies. Some guy goes around and visits the birds and collects their poopies. Wouldn't you hate to have that job? Then some other guy sanitizes the poopie and turns it into a powder. It gets mixed with other junk and then it gets spread on your face. The result is really smooth skin.

Copy and Paste - 1st Place - a star and some zealies! Arnold P. and Hazel Lucy - Tied for the next closest - they each get a star!

SOLD! They want to close in 30-45 days, and they have already been approved for a mortgage! Can you see us all doing the happy dance? We had 12 guesses in the contest. Most of the guesses were in the June/July timeframe. We had two friends guess in May - and guess what? Their guesses were almost the same number of days away from the winning date - May 23rd! Arnold P. guessed earlier than that - May 17th (boy, he was really optimistic)! And Hazel Lucy guessed May 30th! So, they are both going to get a star from me today!

The For Sale sign goes up at Spunky, Sugar, Rocky and my old house! Mawmee and Daddy have two small things to finish up this weekend, and then they are done! It has been 9 months of working every Saturday and Sunday and a lot of other days inbetween getting everything ready! Mawmee is hoping all the crying is done too! It has been a really emotional time for her because that is the house where she grew up. Grandmaw and Grandpaw were the original owners, and the house has been in the family for 42, (almost 43) years! There are a lot of memories associated with that house, and seeing it empty is very difficult. Everything - from ceiling to woodwork has been painted! All the hardwood floors have been refinished! There is new carpet in the family room! It is ready for some new family to move in and begin making memories for the next 43 years! So, let's have a contest! Guess how long it will take to sell the house! Send me the date that Mawmee and Daddy accept an offer on the house. The one who comes closest to the date will get a star! If you pick the exact date, we'll throw in some zealies too!

Well, she said it wasn't a really strong frito smell, but just a little salty - MOL! Dr. Barchas had talked about it awhile ago. When you have fat feet, moisture gets in the folds and pockets and then some bacteria can develop that smells like fritos! The smell is strongest after sleeping. I guess dogs have frito feet more often than cats.

Johnny Knoxville Up for Anything The ... Johnny Knoxville Up for Anything The kind of pet that can leap tall fences in a single bound (or not, but give it a shot anyhow), Gleek is the original Jackass, Johnny Knoxville! Going through the pain so you don't have to, Gleek knows that he trots a fine line between funny and stupid, but he doesn't care—he's laughing about it all the way to the pet store. His over-the-top antics make you grimace with fear and you often find it hard to believe that he actually enjoys playing the class clown. But Gleek laps it up and continues to defy the odds, despite your warnings and concerns. Other males in the pack tend to be a little jealous of Gleek, but the females find him simply dreamy. A die-hard good ol' boy, Gleek is more of a General Lee type than a Knight Rider, but give him enough time to think things through and he's sure to find a way to wreck both vehicles at the same time. I sure like the part about the girls finding me simply dreamy . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/453073 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:44:12 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/453073 Tonight I was on the sofa minding my own business. Mawmee and Daddy were in the living room eating ... OH MY GOSH, a dog lives in this house! Mawmee said to Rocky, what are you doing up here? Daddy got up to take him back down to the dungeon where he lives. Apparently, Daddy left the door open by mistake. Bad Daddy! I was very scared! I'm not used to being around dogs like Spunky, Sugar, and Violet. Rocky didn't want to go downstairs! Help, I yelled! Mawmee protected me from the big, bad wolf. He just kept walking around looking at the good life outside the dungeon - MOL! I don't think he saw me, but I sure saw him. His teeth are giant and so are his ears! Daddy bribed him back downstairs with the ice cream bowl. He got to lick the leftovers.

If you have talent, pick up the piece of food with your paw, and flip it into the nearby water bowl. 4. Wait about 15 minutes. Go use the litterbox, play with a toy, and come back to the water bowl. 5. The crunchie is ginormous! It has turned the water cloudy and messy! 6. Do this everyday to annoy your Mawmee!

I got excited when I saw Donny and Marie hosting the show. I like them, and I have a song of theirs playing on my page! Besides, Marie is hot now that she lost all that poundage. Maybe I should take up dancing too so I can lose some pounds! So, while we're watching the show, I learned some new words from Samoa. She can critique a show like no other cat! First I learned about the word implants. It has nothing to do with plants at all! Then I learned about two-sided tape! I guess that is what they use to hold the dress to the implants! Then we all learned that you can spell your name creatively if you want - did you see LauRen? Then Samoa was laughing because the girls were tripping over their formals. Looks like they didn't practice walking. Seems like a good reason not to wear a long dress, if you ask me! We all gave hisses and boos when they came out in their bathing suits with the fur coats. Samoa said those better be faux furs! Hey, did you notice how funny they all stood? I felt sorry for one girl because she could only stand sideways. Samoa said she was just showing off her implants! I give four paws down to the band - you call that music?

I know, all you other cats who like that spot rubbed do the get-down-dumb-dog move too. But, do you do this? Do you open and close your mouth like you're talking? I didn't think so! Mawmee was patting and scratching that spot, and I turned my head around, looked at her, and did the ventriloquist move! I threw my voice into the other bedroom! Neither one of us knew what I said because we weren't in that room to hear it!

Spay Day USA - a day to bring awareness to the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. The Humane Society of the United States is having a photo contest that runs until March 7 for any of you who might be interested. Now, why is it important to spay and neuter? Here are some really good reasons: 1. Nationwide, over 3 million animals are euthanized in shelters each year. 2. Spaying and neutering helps prevent certain health problems. Here are some reasons people don't spay and neuter: 1. My cat will get fat and lazy. The only reason we get fat and lazy is we eat too much, and don't play enough! 2. It's better to have one litter first. Females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier. 3. Kids should experience the miracle of birth. The real message should be that kids can experience not bringing more animals into the world, and taking better care of the ones they already have! 4. My pet is purebred. So are 1 in 4 that are brought to shelters. See #1 above! 5. I'll find good homes for all the kittens and puppies. You might find them a home, but that means one less home for all those who are sitting in a shelter waiting for a forever home. Bob Barker knows what he is talking about . . . . . . . . have your pet spayed or neutered . . . . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/427398 Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:45:25 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/427398 Apparently we stink because we all just joined the Febreze Air Effects Pet Odor Eliminator group. ...

Since Valentine's Day is next week, I thought I'd list seven things I love! 1. I love sitting on the sofa. Only on the right end. If Mawmee is on the sofa and I jump up on the left end, I have to leap over her - I won't walk on her lap - to get to my spot on the right end! 2. I love legs - Mawmee's legs. I like to rub against them, and I like to sleep up against them at night. 3. I love Violet! We had a ball last night. He was batting a crinkle ball all around the living room. I joined in on the fun, and we ended up chasing each other and rolling around playing together - it was pawsome! 4. I love to eat! I've read a lot of cats love some food called Tiki Cat. We don't have any stores that sell it. I might see if I can order some off the internet! 5. I love to look out the windows - especially the window in the sunroom where I can see the birdfeeder. 6. I love to be combed - who doesn't! 7. I love to close my eyes when I get my picture taken. My photographer isn't too happy about it - MOL!

They were supposed to get to our area around 1 a.m. So, Daddy ... watch and learn. I knew there was gonna be a good show - Calvin never disappoints us! So, he starts with the blah, blah, blah - just loud enough that everyone can hear him, but they don't quite know his location. He pauses . . . . . . . waits for Daddy to say, Calvin, where are you?, which wakes Mawmee up and she runs for the bathroom to get a towel. Daddy is fumbling trying to find a flashlight. Mawmee blinds herself when she turns on the bathroom light. Samoa and Violet stand in the doorway watching. Then it happens . . . . . . . . a flojectile unlike any other . . . . . . . floating through the air with the greatest of ease . . . . . . . the hairball turning over and over before it lands right on the carpet . . . . . . where all good hairballs belong!

I read Ashley's diary entry ... Ashley's diary entry, and then went to her page. She had some really funny music playing. She is desperate for a Valentine friend. To the point of crying! Geesh - there is nothing worse than a crying girl - a crying girl with an inner Jordin Sparks. Wowza - I wonder if I have an inner somebody? So, I did it. I wrote her a pmail asking if she wanted me to be her special Valentine friend. Calvin almost had a heart attack when I told him what I had done! I calmed him down by telling him that I told Ashley we're not allowed to date, but we can have a special Valentine friend. After Valentine's Day, we have to go back to being just friends. I also told Ashley that once all the boys read her diary, they would be lining up at her page! She is really pretty. And yep, she got another offer besides mine! She said she would be honored to be my friend - and my special Valentine friend too!

I was able to get on the floor, and I just did some chillaxin while they talked (Calvin taught me that new word yesterday - chillaxin). They're gonna send my poopie out of state to get checked for stuff they don't check. Then I got more antibiotic medicine and anti-loose poopie medicine to take.

Well, ... Mouse, pmailed me today to see if I had gotten the results of my lab work yet. Well, guess who called this afternoon? That's right, my vet! She had some very good news! Before I tell you the good news, I need to explain. When I first came to live in my new house, I had never been to the vet. I was a stray in my other neighborhood, and my other Mommy had not had time to take me to the vet because she was sick. So, when I had my first vet visit, they did some bloodwork in the office to see if I had any problems. The test came back FIV positive. Mawmee was very upset when she heard that news. The vet said she was surprised because I had very good, clean teeth, and sometimes FIV cats have teeth problems. She said it was okay if I was around the other cats, as long as I didn't bite any of them. I'm a lover, not a fighter, so we knew I'd be okay. Mawmee did a little research and found out that some of the FIV tests done in the vet's office can come back false positive, and the test that really should be done is called a Western Blot test. Of course, it is more expensive because the blood is sent out to a lab. When I went last week to have my blood checked, Mawmee told them to get enough blood to have that Western Blot test done. Now, the good news! The Western Blot test came back negative - which means I more than likely don't have FIV! Yippppppppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeee - now I can bite any cat that I want to - MOL! The vet said I should have the test repeated in 3-4 months just to be sure, but I am very happy tonight. And all the other blood work came back purrfectly normal! So, we still don't know why my poopies are soft! I might get my food switched over to see if that is causing the problem. I'm here to stay for a very long time . . . . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/397071 Mon, 3 Dec 2007 06:41:48 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/397071 how lovely are your branches! We finally put our Christmas tree up. HOWEVER, Calvin whispered to ... HOWEVER, Calvin whispered to me that we got gypped this year! He said we've always had a real tree, a real tree that is big and you can sleep under it, and play with the branches and the ornaments. This year the tree is the little, fake one that used to be in the dining room. Mawmee said she didn't want to get a big, real tree and leave it with us when they go to Ohio Grandmaw's house. I like the pretty fake tree. It's right next to the sofa on a table. The ornaments are the cat and doggie ornaments. I don't see mine yet, but I'm sure that I'll be getting one! Spunky and Sugar need an ornament too! And so does Rocky!

Wowza, it was quite a trip. I was the bestest boy ever in the car ... the Eagle! When I left, Calvin told me to look for the Eagle! The Eagle is named Merlin and she was talking and saying, Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, and she was laughing. I think she was laughing at me because I was in a carrying case and she was sitting right out in the open on a perch. I whispered under my breath, you'd better shut that trap, Merlin, or I'll be having you for lunch. I knew that would make Calvin proud! I got taken in the back by Sarah. They let the vampire out of his cage and he took blood from me. I heard the vet say, let's get a CBC. I think that means cute boy cat and that's why they wanted me back there. Then I got taken back to the lobby. Sarah said I was really, really good and that I'm quite a sturdy boy! I sat up proud and puffed out my muscles when I heard her say that - I wanted to impress the Eagle! It will be a few days before the results come back. In the meantime, I got another dose of medicine to help my loose poopies. Sarah asked about Calvin. I told her he was at home, and this visit was not about him, so let's talk more about how sturdy and good looking I am! Then Theresa smiled as we gave her lots of money. They smile because they know they'll have a job tomorrow! I'm glad to be home, and I'm spending the rest of the day cleaning the vampire smell off of me . . . . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/394942 Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:26:57 PST Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/394942 The Good?

I guess I'm glad we figured out what the problem is because once I get it treated, I'm hoping my poopies won't be loose anymore. That will be a good thing because 1.

Since this is my first Halloween in this house, I didn't know anything about it! Do you? Mawmee went to the front door and there was a little bag full of candy and Halloween stickers. Attached to the bag was a piece of paper with a picture of a ghost. The paper said that we had been ghosted, and now it was our turn to ghost some other neighbors! We had to copy the ghost picture and instructions and give a Halloween goodie bag to three other neighbors. Then we hung the ghost picture on the front door so that the neighbors knew we had already been ghosted! I guess the neighbor who gave us the goodie bag forgot they had given one to us on Saturday cause we got the same bag with the same goodies inside! And we had our ghost hanging on the front door! The funny part to all of this is that the temperature is around 90 degrees, so all our candy was melted! Mawmee put it in the refrigerator, but she says once candy melts, it's never quite the same again. Hmmmmm . . . . . . . . Daddy didn't seem to mind cause I saw him eating some of our ghosted candy tonight . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/369638 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:19:33 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/369638 Ahhhhhh, nothing like a good butt rub on the freshly washed purple fleece blankie that we take turns ... http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/368881 Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:11:26 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/368881 Somecat pooped in the corn tonight!

Mawmee thinks that by adding a layer of our litter on top of the corn she is tricking us! WRONG! So, until that situation gets corrected, we all have to share one box! I like to pee against the back so that it sticks on the box! Or, I like to pee way down deep so it is hard to find! I also tell my pee not to clump like everyother cat's pee, so it breaks up in tiny pieces! I also have poopies that are a little loose. Ooops, I should have warned you about that - hope you're not eating breakfast as you read my diary! Mawmee was concerned so, yesterday she took a sample of my poopie for the vet to see. They checked it out, and there are no wormies or anything bad in my poopie!

Maytag, pmailed me today and said that I have some characteristics of an Egyptian Mau! Wowza, who knew? I probably have another breed mixed in, but the part of me that matches the Egyptian Mau includes: 1. Markings on torso are to be randomly spotted with variance in size and shape. 2. Eyes are almond shaped gooseberry green that slant toward the ears. 3. My mascara lines - the first starts at the outer corner of the eye and continues along the contour of the cheek, with a second line, which starts at the center of the cheek and curves upwards, almost meeting below the base of the ear. 4. Underside of body to have "vest buttons" spots; dark in color against the correspondingly pale ground color. 5. One or more broken necklaces - I've got two! 6. Forehead barred with characteristic "M" and frown marks, forming lines between the ears which continue down the back of the neck. 7. Heavily banded tail with a dark tip. I wonder if I walk like an Egyptian . . . . . . . .]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/364513 Fri, 14 Sep 2007 07:29:40 PDT Gleek ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/612935/diary/Gleek_speaks/364513 Violet is teaching me all kinds of stuff.

Samoa, being the princess and not wanting to get litter in her paws, do ... cover after she does her business. Us boys like to cover, and cover, and cover, and cover! That is why there is a cover on the box - MOL! Samoa's pees spread out in shapes - you've probably seen her masterpees before. They are very easy to scoop. My pees go straight to the bottom, and they set up like concrete immediately! Mawmee said she has a hard time scooping them because she can never find the bottom of the pee. Not my problem! Guess how some of our litter is going to be used? Mawmee has a lot of Grandmaw's prescription medicine to get rid of, and she wasn't sure how to dispose of it. Daddy talked to a friend who is a pharmicist, and guess what he said to do with the pills? He said to take them out of the bottles, put them in some kitty litter, add water, and voila - instant concrete - and then the pills can't get into the hands of children or bad men!

When my new Mawmee and Daddy decided to keep me, they thought I needed a different name. My original Mommy and Daddy's last name is long and hard to pronounce. My original Daddy always used an abbreviation for his last name - Gleik. He used this name for his email address, and when they went out to eat and had to put their name on a waiting list. So, Mawmee and Daddy thought it would be nice to honor him by using Gleik, but changing the spelling to Gleek! And to honor my original Mommy, I've named my weather pixie Lena. That was a nickname that little kids used to call her.
