		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello Diary,

I would like to thank The Pawsitive Pawsees for providing a
forum for me to visit with my furpals.   Each day, I check
on my brofur, Freddie White Paws, and sometimes I even add
a little to the confursation.

Apparently, there has been some confusion about my crossing
day, it was actually January 25th.

Hello to my friends at the 3 Amigos Group.   Wishing you all
the very best.

Sincerely, Flora Angel Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, I welcome a lovely doggie, Satiba, to Rainbow Bridge.  She has been a true friend and made the lovely wedding video
for Smokey and me.   She is an adventurous soul and I know
she will find many furpals at The Bridge.

JoJo is doing better, thank you all for your pawprayers for my good and great friend.    Smokey is settled in his new home in
Alabama and I continue to watch closely over him.   

My furbro Freddie is a constant companion to mom and loves to play all day long.   He has a new toybox that he is fascinated
with and that is his main joy right now.

Once again, thank you all for your special pawprayers for Satiba, she so deserves it and I will busy myself introducing her to Butterfly Field and other Rainbow Bridge miraculous
places.

                      Sincerely,_____________Flora Angel Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is so interesting to celebrate my birthday with the new friends and acquaintenances I have at Rainbow Bridge.   I
also celebrate my birthday with mom's birthday, so we think
of each other during the day.    

I want to personally thank each and every one of you that took 
the time and effort to send me a rosette and a birthday gift
with your special message on it.   These mean a lot to me.

My Smokey sends me gifts and messages all throughout the year
too and I want to thank him soo much.

My new brofur, Freddie, is a real hand full for mom and so I 
try to watch over him as much as possible.  He is a darling
really just mischieveous.

So thank you All once again and if you need Angel Dust or 
special prayers, please call on me.  

   Sincerely,_________________Flora Angel Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, mom has her new laptop and it works for most things, but she still has trouble while navigating in Catster.  This week she was able to help me with the Welcome Messages in 3 Groups and that was so much fun.  

I have been really watching over mom.  She was given a bicycle for her birthday and yesterday she took a bad fall, hurted her knee, wrist and hip.   This morning, she is fine, no aches and pains so all my prayers helped her.

Smokey has been very kind to me gifting me with a big birthday cake and Humphrey Lee and family, Osiris, sent me special messages.  I also love those heart gifts I received.   Very nice.

It is so lovely at the Rainbow Bridge but I do enjoy brief visits to my Catster friends and family.

Thank you all for staying in touch with me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Finally, . . . it seemed impossibly long until mom found the kitty to be my brofur.  He is really nice.   She made up her
mind quite some time ago that she wanted an Orange and White Tabby Cat, but in our area there were only little kittens to
be found.  Mom was trying for about a one-year old kitty.  Now, 
he has only been home 2 days and we are both noticing something
about him.  We were told he is in great health which is excellent.  But, he is only 9 months old and 10 pounds!  Long and Tall, with Great Big Paws.   I think my brofur is going to be
quite a big kitty.

He is so darn loveable that whatever size he turns out to be will
be okay with mom.  She says, "it is amazing how they quickly come into your heart and you feel that bond."   Awww.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight was a very special evening for Smokey and I.   We went to the Black Cat Irish Pub.  Smokey was the Chef and I was the Waitress.   Shadow Bowers was the bartender tonight and Magic Bowers was the musician of the evening.  We hosted a special
dinner for our brother, Ralph Bowers and his lovely date, Patches Bush

Boy oh boy, was the dress Patches wore ever a knock-out.   So beautiful on her, really lovely.  I could tell that Ralph was smitten, but I had no idea he was going to propose marriage to her this evening.

Well, they wined and dined on Steak and Lobster and Scampi
 and Steak and all the trimmings.   They just seemed to be enjoying themselves so much, when Ralph got down on bended knee and I overheard him propose to Patches and she accepted!
I immediately told my Smokey and gave him a hug and a kiss and we all toasted to
their happiness in the future.

They are such a happy couple and once again, Smokey and I have another wedding to help with.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, I am working with the Chef  at the group, Over The Rainbow.  You see,
it is the 4th Anniversary pawrty tonight.  I have already asked Smokey Bowers
to join me at the pawrty.  I am excited because I get to bring some of the
Chef's specials for the menu tonight.

This group has helped my mom and I so much after I went to Rainbow Bridge.
Every Wednesday and Friday night we gather at 6pm Catster time to talk
about our transition to the Rainbow Bridge and mostly to give support to
each other and especially our families.

The Wednesday and Friday meetings are called Hammock Talk because we sit
quietly in our hammocks and talk.   

There is going to be a lot of fun tonight--if you are reading this.  Otherwise,
I encourage every fur who has gone to Rainbow Bridge to drop in at this
Group and say hello to some fine kittys and doggies.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, mom got mail from the University of California, Davis, School of
Veterinary Medicine.  This letter was read to me by mom.  It said the Murphy
Avenue Pet Clinic (my Vet) has made a financial donation to the Companion
Animal Memorial Fund in memory of Me.

The Companion Animal Memorial Fund supports studies into the wide variety
of problems that confront small domestic animals.   This donation is a very
positive and supportive gesture.  This donation will assist their efforts to find
answers for the diseases that cause pain and suffering among companion
animals.  

I was very pleased when mom read this letter to me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom misses you very much.   Each day becomes a little bit easier, but overall
it is very difficult to live without your cheery presence.  I miss you so much
helping me make the bed and helping me do my paintings (stepping in the paint),
and sitting on your cat seat gazing at the squirrel in our Magnolia tree.

Yes, it is April 1st and this is the day the Rainbow Bridge Angels receive their
letters in a balloon.  I know you are somewhere near this computer looking
at every word.   

I am so grateful to Muffin for making your beautiful wings which has made these
past 2 months bearable for me.   It does make me feel good know you have
friends at the Bridge and they care about you too.

                   Love From, Mom]]></content:encoded>

used my favorite photos too.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well Diary, I am starting to make some small changes.   

I went to my Over The Rainbow Group and our Prez, Bill, told me that
residents of The Rainbow Bridge refer to their earthly life as (back in
the livingday.   Now, they also refer to their time at the Bridge simply as
Bridgetime.   This makes dialog easy and it is easier on mom too.

I went to a wonderful Barn Dance/2nd Anniversary of the Black Cat Pub
last night.  Gees, we all had a good time.   Smokey Bowers still dances as 
good as always (we haven't danced in awhile).

We did square dancing and made an arch and everyone danced through it.  It
was  a great party.

At this party, there were a couple of references to me as Flora Angel Cat.   Well,
I decided to go back to the bridge and think this over.   On the way home, Greta
and Osiris showed me a meteror shower and a star shower.  They were so pretty.

I have decided to change my name to Flora Angel Cat.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I found out some interesting news tonight at the Over the Rainbow Group.  April 1st
each year is Rainbow Bridge Day where our families show special remembrance to
us.  They show it by writing a letter personally and putting it inside a Balloon.  Can
you imagine all the excitement at The Rainbow Bridge, when these messages are
received.  I know that I will definitely look forward to mom's letter to me.

There is lots of special support at Over The Rainbow and each time I go with mom, she
fells like telling her story and then she feels better by the end of the session.  There is
always fun talk too and lots of good food and drink.

I am also looking forward to the Barn Dance with Smokey at the Black Cat Pub in
March.   We will all be celebrating the anniversary of the wonderful wonderful Pub.

I will also be a Maid of Honor for Roxy and the wedding of Roxy and Adam Chewbacca.
I have seen her dress and oh is it every purty.   

March is a very busy month and April 1st is a very special day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it has not even been one month and I am starting to settle in at Rainbow Bridge and mom is focusing lots of time and good thoughts for me.   We have been going
to Over The Rainbow Group on Wednesday and Friday nights and this is a very warm
and welcoming group.   We both need this type of support to understand that Believing we are together is the most important of thoughts for our happiness.

I have resumed my role as Greeter for the New Members of The 3 Amigos, The Black Cat Pub and The Pawsitive Pawsees.   So many friends in these groups.

Of course, Smokey and family are constant support to me too.  

I just don't know what we would have done without our friends at Catster.  Such 
a nice group of kitties and doggies.  Thanks to all for helping me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, mom received two beautiful sympathy cards.  The first had a Japanese style
water color with the saying,
                              Unable are
                               the loved to die.
                               For love is
                               immortality.      -Emily Dickinson

This was a beautiful sympathy card from a family of my friends here on Catster.
Thank You So Much.

The second card was from my Vet and her Staff.  I always gave them an especially bad time.   Two of the staff members said "She may not have appreciated us as much, but
I know she was deeply loved and a special friend for you."

It was very nice of the Staff to write to mom their feelings about my passing and it
surely helps us to read these messages.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today, my mom took the framed photograph of me and placed it on the dining
room table.  She wrote a lovely letter to me about how I came to live with her, how she always told me to remember I was beautiful and very smart and how I smelled so very very clean because I was a good groomer.

Then, she washed my blankies and toys and put them somewhere.  She sat down and read a book about CATS!   I don't know what she was thinking.  Just turning large pages and looking at all sorts of Cats.

My Auntie Lindy was sent a card with kittens on it thanking her for all the times she helped to clip my nails and how she used to walk around the house holding me and pointing out new places in the house for me to see.

My friend, Bev telephoned mom and she has been a real trooper, calling and sending emails and her kitty, Remy has sent me (2) candles with nice notes each time.   Mom feels best when talking with Bev.

I have received so many pawprayers and I especially enjoyed the ones from Lady and Ruby and family.  These prayers mean a lot to me and thank you for them.

So, I received a letter today from my very own and it felt good.

Love From, Flora (ILM)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy, was mom ever surprised this morning when she re-read a pawmail from my
friend, D-Max.   Included in the pawmail was this magnificant photograph of me
under the Rainbow.   I always loved flowers and so to show mom that I am now
enjoying the flowers and the butterflies and the ocean, makes her feel very good.

I want to thank Walter and Dancer here and now for being my friend and to Walter's mom a big hello.  (She often reads my Diary and I love that about her).   I was
actually 15 years old when I crossed Rainbow Bridge.  I was 5 years old when I
came to mom's house and she had me in her care for 10 years.

smiles.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sybday evening, my mom noticed that my breathing was labored and that I did not have my usual spunk.  She waited until Monday morning, holding me and talking to
me about my "respirations."   She was at the computer when I walked up to her and
looked her right in the eyes.  She said, "Now Flora, don't worry, we are going to the
Vet right away.  The lovely woman Vet and her staff met us at the door.   They took me in the back for an examination and I became very frightened and feisty.   The prognosis was not good, tests showed heart failure.   Our Vet put me on oxygen and gave me a sedative until my little soul passed from Earth to The Rainbow Bridge.

It's a difficult time for mom, she has outburts of tears.  However, all of the loving messages from the 3 Amigos, The Black Cat Pub and the Pawsitive Pawsees have
helped her a great deal.    We love you Catster Members and Thank You.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Now that I am an older Cat and have a husband too, (Smokey) I have
been really behaving myself.  For example, there is only one Angel on our tree that I knock down every night.  That is an improvement from last
year when I learned how to turn the tree lights on and off.

I must say that my mom is not showing a very good example to me.
Her niece visited and left her with a large bag of prezzies.  Mom has
poked and even opened most of these prezzies already.  She also ate
lots of the cookie prezzie her neighbors brought to her.  I noticed
she hasn't  hung her stocking yet----maybe she hopes that Santa Claus
will not notice what she has been doing.

I love Santa Claus and I hope he has a good visit down here all the
way from the North Pole.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, my Smokey hasn't been at home so much lately, so I complained to him and he decided to take me along on his secret travels at The Black Cat Inn.  I am now officially part of the game, "Where Is Smokey?"   Each member has to guess our destination and it is really fun.  Right now, we are in a particular place in Greece and I believe that we have a winner!
We are both taken back that we were found so quickly at such an unusual place.  Next time, we plan to really hide out.

Smokey and I have been spending much of our time working on the
Kitty, Doggy and Admin Polls at the bottom of the 3 Amigos page.  This is so fun because we have an absolute ball selecting the photographs that go up for the polls.  More and more furpals are getting involved and casting their votes which really pleases us.

Goodnight Dear Diary.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am going to be a Maid of Honor for Mazey and Biscuit's Wedding.  This is another event that I am really looking forward to.  I hope to help Mazey select her wedding dress at The Sweet Beginnings Group site.   Then, I will be p0lanning her batchelorette pawrty.   Smokey, my husband, has said that even though he is a man, he will help me with the pawrty, cause it is for his sister, Mazey.

Lots to do.  However, I got some good ideas about planning from my own beautiful weddingf.  I am still in a glow over the vows I took with my sweet husband, Smokey Bowers.

We are going to have some fun tonight too.  He is running Movie Night tonight at the 3 Amigos.  We will all get to see a Roadrunner Cartoon and an episode of The Carol Burnett Show.  He is a Clever Cat and I loves him.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, Smokey and I are both grateful to the family of Satiba who made our wedding video---it was such fun.  It outlined all of our plans
except, of course, our wedding outfits, our cake and bridesmaids and Grooms Mens outfits.  These outfits were provided by Ariel and JoJo of Ar/Jo's Fashions.   We had a be-autiful cake with purple orchids on top
and Maggie and Aggie and Claw assisted us with every detail.  

Smokey and I had our first dance of Will You Go With Me.  Then, our furpals began to dance too.  It was so much fun.  We stayed in Kona
and had a wonderful time.

I thank everyfur that participated and hope that everyfur had as wonderful a time as we did.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh My Dear Diary,

I cannot say enough about the new site Sweet Beginnings.

The owners, Ariel, JoJo, Maggie and Aggie have consolidated their talents to include everything for The Bride To Be.  (That's Me!).

They show wonderful wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, groomsmens outfits and lovely sites for the wedding.

Aggie and Maggie have their own Flower Shop and Bakery.   It is literally one-stop shopping because they all work together.

I am overwhelmed by their good taste and prompt service.

I highly recommend Sweet Beginnings to all my furfriends and you will find a link to their site at the Black Cat Pub.

           A very satisfied Customer,     Flora Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My fiance, Smokey, will be my husband in just over a month from now.
We have been making our preliminary plans and still have much to do.
We met and fell in love while working on a playlist of music for his brothers birthday party.  Ever since them, we have continued to put together music and, of course, now it will be for our wedding.

OMC are we both excited.  In fact, tomorrow I have an appointment with my friend, JoJo at her new Bridal Boutique to discuss my wedding
dress!!!!    I cannot believe my good fortune that this shop has opened
just in time for our ceremony.

Aggie and Maggie at Sweet Beginnings have a Bakery and a Flower
Shop and so this will make my wedding arrangements much easier
for us.

I can hardly sleep.

This has been difficult and I am teary for these are my brother-in-laws and will always be.  

I know that Burleous arrived at Rainbow Bridge looking his best because his mama asked him to.  His picture shows a very proud and handsome cat.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Rusty and I and all our friends are on the way to Vegas
to elope! We were gonna do the big wedding thing, but, I got
scared of all the fuss! I know everyone was looking forward
to it and for that I am sorry. But, I feel so good now!
I hope everyone is okay with it. We are so silly with our
happiness. We want you to feel the same. Mama Mazey,
Smokey, Flora, Baby G and Walter and Dancer are going too!!!
We want them to share our joy!
I packed a bit of bubbly and some cheese and catnip to take
along. I don't think I need any bubbly, because I am silly
enough right now! but, a tad bit won't hurt!!
We will post the pictures next week. We are going to have
some fun there too. Everyone is excited and looking good!

                                     Love from Rusty and Mawse

Well, Well, Well, I have some quick packing to do.    I'll bring along some of the catnip I won at the Black Cat Pub game too.  So nice for Smokey and me to take a little vacation, even if he will be busy helping Rusty get ready.
Whoopee, A Celebration!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was such an interesting day.  First of all, I had a pawmail from my friend, Walter The Cat.  Walter is doing just fine and writes me such newsy pawmails---I enjoy them so much.

Next, I discovered I had won the "Where is Osiris?" game at the Blkack Cat Pub.  This game took mom and I quite a few trys to figure out.  We learned about The Yukon and Northwest Territories of Canada.   I chose as the winner, Suitcase No. 3 and won a Golden Trophy for my page.  Oh, this is very exciting.

Smokey, my fiance, and I made a little side bet that if one of us won--the other one would treat to a fine dinner at the Black Cat Pub.  Smokey will be taking me there very soon.   He always gives me moral suppiort in my game playing and I just love him for that.

The rest of the day, I spent planning to get a manicure and pedicure and my fur done for this special dinner out with Smokey.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Gees, I have been on a lucky streak lately over at the Black Cat Irish Pub Group.  They have offered games for us to play and the first one is called, Where is Osiris?  Now Osiris is very important to our Group and he is over Rainbow Bridge now.  He flies to different parts of the world and the special game is to guess where he is.  Once I guessed he was at the Taj Mahal and I won a suitcase full of catnip.  The second time I won my own Black Cat (I named her Midnight and she is very special to me).  The third time I guessed Bora Bora and won all the fishies I can eat, a trunk full and 118 on my page!  (This made Smokey very happy because I believe in sharing and he loves fish and can use cat nip at the Taco Stand).

Another game at the Black Cat Pub is called Word Jumble.  Oh, I love this game too.  We unscramble letters to form a word.  Sometimes, they are very hard to do.  For each one right you can win a point and there are prizes for the points.  So far I have 19 points and 20 points will buy me a new spring dress fashioned by Ar/Jo Fashions.  Whoopee!!!!!!

This week I am honored to be an Administrator of the Week at the 3 Amigo Group.  This is so much fun.  I love to be an administrator.  We have movie nites at this group sometimes on Saturday nites and I enjoy all the shows and the cartoons.

Smokey, my handsome beau, will have his batchelor pawrty with Leo on May 16th.  We have delayed our wedding date so that all of us involved can find the best date to suit us.

Well, like I said, I think I'll head for Vegas, LUCKY ME]]></content:encoded>

This is a task that I enjoy doing so much each day and I always hope that new kittys and doggies will get off to a good start--knowing what we have to offer them.

My fiance, Smokey, has been chosen as Manager of the Month at our sister group, the Black Cat Pub.  Tonight, we plan to go to dinner at the Pub and celebrate our being Manager and Administrator at this time.

I look forward to our St. Patrick's Day pawrty and all the activities (games, song quizzes, etc.

I still continue to enjoy my entries at the Black Cat Inn and interacting with my furpals.  I also like it when my furfriends, Ariel and JoJo, take me for a day off---a ride in the country--or birdwatching.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My fiance' Smokey, and me decided that for Valentines Day, we would select our wedding rings or engagement rings.  We looked at soo many rings because at first I wanted a turquoise ring set for both of us.  I had wanted Zuni wedding rings.  I soon learned the Zuni Indians do not use
rings in their wedding ceremonies but rather use special wedding baskets.

Then, it occurred to us to take a look at jade rings.  The matching ring set we selectedwas agreed on by both of us right away.  No point in
looking any further---it was just what we wanted.

Smokey's ring is on his page and it is identical to mine, except a larger size.   We are both pleased with our selection and can't wait to wear them during the ring ceremony.]]></content:encoded>

All this excitement was followed by a pawrty given by Smokey to celebrate COTD, my new Feline Driver's Certificate and his sister,
Mazey's Birthday.

Smokey also brought along his new sister, Dakota, to introduce her to the Group.  She had plenty of fun meeting everyone.

The buffet was simple Irish Stew, Cornbread and Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert.  (Dakota's dessert was shaped like his mamas slipper).

Smokey and I danced to Angel Baby and Country Road.

Latecomers made the pawrty even more exciting.  It was the arrival of
Biscuit, Reyndie and Dante that had the room buzzing with fun.

I feel so blessed to have Smokey and all our great furpals to celebrate with.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight I had dinner at the Black Cat Pub with my best friend and partner, Smokey.  He treated his sister and I to salads and crab cakes.  Boy, were they delicious.

There was a lot of activity at the Pub tonight due to his sister, Mazey's sons being falsely accused of sawing off the legs of the bench at the 3 Amigo Taco Stand.  Her boyfriend, Biscuit, has been with her every step of the way to help her out.

I really got to thinking tonight that I am quite a liberated lady Cat.  I travel, I work, I drive a BMW now.  But, I am not such a hot driver and I decided to enroll in the Feline Driver's Education Program.

At the end of the evening, Smokey was so sweet to me and I thought, now Flora you are surely liberated and so I quietly asked him to marry me at a future date.   Smokey accepted my proposal and was on, as he said, Cloud 9.   We took a moonlight stroll and decided to mark our calendars for this important date as January 2, 2009, the date I proposed to him.

We are both excited and very happy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, this has been a wonderful season working at the Black Cat Inn as The Reservations Manager and receiving the Manager of the Month Award (A great honor for me).  I also received the Administrator of the Week Award at the 3 Amigos Group.  What Fun I have had.

We have had a real holiday gift exchange and receiving prezzies in the mail along with cards has been a delight.  I am so thankful for my furpals at Catster/Dogster.

Two nights ago I learned something new.  Mom had bought a little fiber-optics Christmas Tree to put on the table.  She also put a large moveable Santa Claus and Christmas lights all around the ceiling.  Well, it was late, so she turned off the Christmas lights and began reading her book by the table light.  That is when I figured out how to turn the Christmas tree lights back on all by myself.  A simple switch and I had mastered electricity.
What Fun!!!  Of course, I was told not to do that again and now she unplugs the Tree from the wall.  

Christmas gifts came early for me.   Mom and Santa brought to me a beautiful soft window seat.  Now I can look out into the back yard in complete comfort and I am up higher than the pewter, so I really feel in charge of my space.  I love to lay down here and groom myself, or just lazily do some fine bird watching and squirrel watching.  It is the best of gifts, thank you mom and Santa Claus.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was selected as Admin. of the Week for This Week, October 27, 2008.
What an honor to be recognized by my furpals at the 3 Amigos Group.

I've also been having lots of fun at the Ghost Tours and Halloween
Pawrty at the Black Cat Irish Pub.  Thank you Osiris, JoJo and Ariel.
The recent tour of the Ceperley House was loads of fun.

I'm keeping busy with my partner, Smokey too.  We keep working on the Music Playlist, in order to bring what we think will be a lot of variety in music to the group.   

It's almost Halloween and I wish my furpals the happiest events in
the season.

                                          Purrs,  Flora Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had so much fun at this pawty.  First of all Ariel got me to laughing so hard I was sneezing, when a bell rang and she said what is that?  The door bell?  Avon Calling?  I could use some lipstick samples, she said.

Leo said it was probably the Pizza Man!

We played a blanket game, The Blanket Monster and even had some fun with the mistletoe on the site.

Best for shy me was working with the D.J.--Smokey before the pawty and getting to know him.  By the time of the pawty we were really good friends and now I'd say you could call us a couple.  I felt like I was hit over the head by one of those surfing waves and it kept coming in wave by wave.

In recent days---we have had a chance to back up and discuss our
desire for Truth, Honesty and Respect.  I think this is a good foundation for any catsters or dogsters who decide to partner with each other.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello, I was tagged by Jingle Bell (Mrs. Harley Man)

1)  What is your favorite Olympic Sport?
       I liked Catnip Sand Volleyball

2)   Do you prefer summer or winter?

        I prefer Winter.  Cozy naps and Christmas Tree with lots and lots
        of paper and ribbons to play with.

3)     What is the quirkiest thing you do?

          When I am angry and/or frustrated, I haunch my back and walk
          sideways like a John Wayne walk.  It is pretty funny, but I am angry.

4)     Do you have a crush on other kitties?
          There are several kitties I like.  I am very shy about revealing
          the names of any possible suitors.

         
5)     What is your favorite rosette or zealie and why?

          I like the cool drinks that are offered.  Like the lemonade and
          grape juice.  These are good flavors and refreshing on a very
          hot day.  

I am tagging, Winnie, Cathy, Bitsy, Magnolia Blossom Licketysplit,
 and Mittens.]]></content:encoded>

been as friendly as a kitty could be and stayed at my post on the table near the window for a few days afterwards, until I too lost hope.
The spot they chose for a next seemed very secluded, but the Doves were determined and they got to it.  Our pawprayers for Amy and

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The rules for this game:

    .  Name 4 Jobs that you have
    .  Name Places that you have lived
    .  Name Places You would rather be
    .  Name 4 friends to tag and send them pawmail directing them
        to your diary


4 Jobs

I wake my mom up every morning like an auto-alarm clock.  She really
loves it and I, of course, have my food in mind.  That will be my next stop.

I have to watch over the hummingbird next outside my window.  I make
sure no other birds disturb the next altho, I don't know what I would do
if they tried it.

I keep my liter box very clean, sweeping up any sand that goes over the side
and I even sweep down the wall behind the box--making sure it is all clean.

I MOL at mealtime.  It is my way of keeping mom on her toes for my feeding times.  I open cupboard doors while she is preparing my food and I give
her a high five when she finally servers it.

4 Places I have lived

I don't like to think about my other homes.  I just like my forever home.
I came here on purpose, my mom is a softy.

4 Places I'd Rather Be

I like to mostly be on mom's lap while she tells me the story of how I came
here--I really like that story.

I love to run and play and wish I was not a house cat.  The times that I escape I make the most of it and I climbed 15 ft. up a 30 ft. Magnolia tree.  I jumped
the back fence and went into the neighbors yard and down their street.  I
really love to eat grass and flowers.   But, I am a house cat, with my own
screen porch with windows all around to watch birdies.

I like to be with my Auntie Lindy.  She holds me upside down and I love it
because she is so gentle with me and talks to me a lot.  She also makes special cat sounds that I like.  Whispers and noises.

I like to dance to the music with my mom in the living room.  We like
to listen to a jazz station and dance dance dance.

4 Friends to Send This to:

    Winnie The Pooh
    Cathy
     Humphrey Lee Haunted
     Osiris]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Freddie was just testing me . . . .he wanted to know if I really could catch him or not.  Once he realized I could not, he set about building a beutiful little nest for himself and for his wife, Amy.  It is such a small nest really but Amy seems very comfortable in it.  She sits there all day long, just leaving for short periods to get some feeder food from the neighbor's yard.  I feel very good about Amy and we have sort of short little conversations.  I do not try to disturb her nest, but I sit very close to her on the other side of the window and I twitch my ears and my whiskers and we have these short little conversations.   I can't wait to see the baby hummingbirds and wonder how long it is before they take flight.   Freddie is still adding nesting materials to the sides of the nest, making it even cozier.  These are my new friends and who would think we would all get along so well.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This certainly has been good bird watching times.  My mom cut up some
grape vines and we watch the black birds pick them up for their nests.
The sparrows are looking for smaller items and the Doves--medium size
branches and string.

What has me amazed is my new birdie pal, Freddie.  He's a hummingbird.
I was taking a nice peaceful nap in my chair when OMC!!! Freddie starts
pecking on the window waking me up.  Now Freddie comes after he
drinks from the neighbors feeder and drives me crazy.  I can almost 
touch him.  I wait quietly beneath the window and jump up and paw at
the window, but there's no way I can get him.  Sometimes, I just sit back
and enjoy his little birdie wings moving so fast and his green belly with
a red neck.  That's my Freddie.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Much excitement for me during the months of March and April, 2008.
Firstly, I had an exceptional time taking reservations for the Black Cat
Inn.  Watching all the kitties and doggies receive their room and getting
pawmail requests from them.  The hearty meals and brew were delicious
and much fun was had at Brody's Castle in Ireland.   Winnie and Adam
Chewbacca and I played havoc with the Chef at the Black Cat Pub and I
don't think he will ever forget us!!!

April, brought our Pub Crawl to Paris at the Cafe Chat Noir.  Ariel and
JoJo led us through a menu and Humphrey Lee Haunted worked with
them on it.  My favorite dish was the Crevette appetizer (prawns)--altho
I didn't eat the crunchy eyes.  No, eyes for Flora Cat.

The dinner and ambience was amazing and best of all sharing it with my
catster and dogster friends.

I wore my French designer dress that was chosen by me at the French
Fashion Show.  Ariel, a Fashion Artiste, helped me choose the dress and
did the final fitting for me.  I am so happy with it.  

So many positive changes at the Amigo Group.  More and more pictures,
Music, and, of course, our own Chat Lobby--a room to chat.

I'm in the best of health now and continue to thank my friends for asking
about me.

I look forward to the next Pub Crawl to London, England in May!!]]></content:encoded>

This is how it works. The kitty that is tagged, goes to their diary page and lists 7 facts about themselves. They then list 7 furriends and those kitties will list their 7 facts in their diaries, so that others can get to know a little about each of us.

  3.  I am an indoor cat but I love the outdoors.   Sometimes I escape and
        once I went over the back fence and climbed up a 30 ft. Magnolia tree.
        Then, I got scared and MOL until my mom climbed a ladder and got
        me down.

    4. I luv being an admin for the 3 Amigos Group.  I get to meet kitties and
         doggies just as they join our group.

          But.....I do like computer-image clothing.  That's Neat!

     6.  I like my Auntie Lindy, she holds me upside down and I luv that.

drummers at the Luau and I really do think they had a good time.
A lightnin storm couldn't stop our Huki Lau dancers, Winnie, Jophiel,

skirts and coconuts and the gorgeous leis that Ariel and JoJo brought.
Everyone looked  so islandy.

arrive but when he did the party started for me.  We danced to Love Me
Tender and did the limbo paw in paw.  In fact, MAGIC won the limboist
prize.   He joked and told me we were out of gas and I almost believed him.
I told him I would walk with him to a station if we were out of gas (I wonder
if he knows gas in CA costs $3.25 a gallon).  Maybe its the same in GA.

My mom went to Georgia once and she told me that several of the streets
are named Peachtree.  Peachtree Street.  Peachtree Lane and she got very
confused.  Then, the waitress asked her if she wanted grits with her taost.
Mom didn't know what she was saying.  and she never had grits  before.
Finally, she thought of toast and she tried it with grits and liked it okay.
The brick buildings she said were absolutely beautiful.  

I am feeling good these days and thank everyone that helped me along
when I was dealing with my eating that piece of bamboo and my food
allergy.  Things are better for me now.  Thank You.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a pretty social cat, like to sing and dance--so these functions are
perfect for me.  Besides, my Vet has come up with the right combination
of medicine and food diet for me and I am feeling better and better each
day.  I jump up and down and play with my toys and keep mom laughing
once again.

It will be fun at the Luau to sing and dance Huki Lau with Jo Jo and Ariel,
Winnie, Mookie, Adam and meself.

Also, we'll have really good drummers behind us, Brody, Tyson, Tigger
and Leo.   It should be a swell time.

As far as the dance is concerned, I don't have a partner, so I will just
tap a few people on the shoulder during the dance and take a turn.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am definitely getting back to my old self.  My Vet called and said the
reports show I had a deep intestional infection and I am allergic to my
food (Fancy Feast, wet and dry).  I just have a sensitve tummy and
my intestional problem is starting to clear up with the anti-biotics.  I
now eat Hills Prescription z/D  food.  I like it very much so far.   The
cape, can be fun--I am no longer self-conscious about it--I stand proudly
in the window and show off.  The only hard part with the cape is finding
a position to get comfy in to take my naps.  It takes me a long time to
find just the right place.  So, with all the pawprayers I have received, I
think by the first part of February I will be ready to puarty and I am
glad that I did most of my rehearsing before this doctor thing.  Tonite,
I eagerly await the Newsletter that will be put out by Ariel and JoJo.
They always do things in such a creative way---I know that this will
be very special and helpful to all my furrpal and myself.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks to all my furpals for the Rosettes, Gifts and most of all the kind
messages of goodwill that came with them.  We have a routine now,
me mom takes a motar and pestal and grinds up my anti-biotics and mixes
it in with my food.  Yum, I eat it right up!  Some company that comes over
here laughs at me in my soft blue collar.  Like I don't feel rediculous enough.
I stand at the window and people walking by laugh at me too.  So, I have
taken to floppin in the laundry basket and just hanging out.  I am waiting
10-12 days for a pathologist to determine what exactly is wrong with me.
Why do I itch and scratch so much and why don't I feel right.  I really give
the Vet a hard time, I growl and hiss at him and he says he has a Cat just
like me at home--so he is not afraid of me!!!  This all started with the bamboo,
which may have created an ulcer, then again, it might be something
completely different--so we just have to wait.  I am glad to be at home.
Altho, I cannot jump up on a chair or anything like that.  I am clumsey.
maybe I'll  miss this collar when its gone.    Flora Cat]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Flora has been keeping herself very busy practicing her hula dancing and
now, she may perform with the other girls at the next puarty.  Whew!  That
is exciting.  She has been dancing to Huki Lau and has found out that Huki
means pull and ti means leaves.  The idea is to throw the nets out into the
sea (the ti leaves are in the middle of the nets)  the leaves scare the fish into
the net and then the nets are pulled back in filled with fishies.    She is still
waiting to find out if mau mau and pau pau are fish.  That required an email
to Hawaii and we await the answer.

Of course, this is Flora's mom.  I am writing for her today because she is
almost ready for her Vet appointment on Tuesday.  He will take another
scraping of her throat and neck and let us know how he will proceed with
her treatment.  She is 7 days off of anti-biotics and is losing her voice, her
appetite and she just wants to be held.  So, we await Tuesday.

Thanks to all the Amigos who pawmail us and ask about her.  It is very much
appreciated to know your kindness.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello, I am having a good day playing with my Christmas Balls!  I woke
mom up this morning with Cat Kisses and she was soo happy--a sign I
am not so groggy from anti-biotics.  I am taking an afternoon nap just
now and letting mom do my writing for me.  I am dreaming of all of my
new friends at Catster and I feel so fortunate.  Tomorrow nite (New
Years Eve) I have the whole house to myself and I will play everywhere.
Just when my Cat powers let me know that mom is coming home, I
will be standing in the window waiting for her return.  That is always fun
when she comes home!   I wish for all of us at Catsters to have a very
very happ-y New Year.  Lots of Good Health Right.  Myself and some
of my friends at Catsters have had a difficult end of the year.  Now is
the time to start new.   We are going to do all the right things for
an ulcer of the throat.  We are starting by finding the most loving and understanding Vet in our area and we have begun this search on the internet.
We have good leads and wonderful friends who encourage us.

So Best of the Best To All You Catsters and Dogsters.  I hope we continue
to have the kind of fun we have had since November 2007.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I must say thanks to all the paw prayers I have received, I know I have
improved.  I still have a long way to go with anti-biotics--but each day
I show more interest in things and this makes my mom really happy.
I have a wicker toy box and at night I go to the box and take out what I
want to play with.  In the morning, mom and I play with the ones I took
out.  This is our special game we like to play.  I am sure there will be
some kind of new toy for Christmas, my stocking was made by a friend
of mom's and it is small with my name written in gold on it.  

I'm so happy about a package mom got last nite.  It has red paper that
looks like sequins on it and shiny white bows.  I cannot wait to open it.

So far, all I have taken off the tree is one candy cane and I left it on the
table for mom to have.  I kept the ribbon that was holding it for meself.

On the 23rd mom is going to see The Nutcracker with her nieces and family
oh boy, I will have this entire house to myself for the evening.  I can tell
she is securing things already.

Merry Christmas to All of the Amigos, I have certainly enjoyed each time
I have welcomed a New Member.  It is a wonderful way to make
furrpals.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is the lesson I learned at the Vets.  I needed a thorough exam and
so my Vet sedated me, because I become angry there.  He found traces
of bamboo leaves in my throat.  My mom told him she had received a
small bamboo as a holiday gift and had it on a table in the screen porch.
Now mees taken my antibiotics but I don't like the taste.  Mom tried
pill pockets, but I open them up separate the bad pill from the candy and
eat the treat.  She borrowed a mortar and pestal and grinds the pills down
to a fine powder and I don't even notice the difference that it is in my food.
That's a good thing.   

I want to thank Rusty and family and Most Especially The Boomer, Dude
Kitty and The Fabulous Miss D for their love and support.   It really helps
knowing there are pawprayers for yah.   Thank You.]]></content:encoded>

I have been talking with my mom about her puter problems today because
she promised to give a Blue Ribbon to Adam for Best Dancer and hasn't been
able to do so yet.  Mookie, Winnie, Aeriel, Jophiel, Tyson and Anna --A
big thank you for your work.  Also, thank you to Thumper for transforming
us for the evening.  Tigger (my escort) was a real gentleman) and he likes

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It was an exciting day for me.   My guardian is at the finish line with her
poooetry book--doing something called poof reading.  She stopped for
a bit and took out the trash.  I ran outside behind her!  Oh boy-places I've
never been--I jumped the frence into Michael's yard and headed for his
vegetable garden where I nibbled on some asparagas.  Delicious but not
really good for me.  Mom was chasing me everywhere.  She appeared out
of no where and sat on the ground and said Flora you are in deep yogurt.
She did coax me back into my own yard.  Then, I spotted a 30 foot
Magnolia tree.  Mom had no clue where I was and I got scared and started
to meow.  The look on her face when she saw me.  So, she got a ladder and
climbed up, but I was afraid and angry--so she got a dish of turkey and
put it on the ground.  I finally got the nerve to jump down and eat my
turkey.   Then, I feel guilty because I am acting bad and Winnie sent me a
beautiful Butterfly Rosette.  Also, my pal Sweet Punkin sent me some
Sushi.   So, I am trying hard to be on my best behavior now.  Punkin told
me to stop making my mom chase me.  I told mom I like Catster because
she buys me better toys now and thinks about my food more.  So, we
joined Catster Plus and look forward to a year of making friends.]]></content:encoded>
