		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My friend Emily tagged me today. Thank you, CUTEST Emily!! If you would like to play, copy the questions and put them in your diary with your answers, then tag some furiends!


Questions:

1. Describe one thing your pet pawrent does that you think is REALLY CUTE.

*scratches head* well, I think I’M the one that is really cute MOL MOL!!! Okay, I’ll play the game. (glares at typist) Um, well, um… (I can’t think of anything) *giggles*
Oh, OKAY, mom. Sheesh!!! Mom plays pom poms with me and I love it. She throws the pom pom and I fetch, just like a doggie does. I run after it, skidding sideways on the floor, and carry it back to her in my mouth, dropping it at her feet. 
There :)  I did a good job at turning that back into how cute I am MOL MOL!

2. Describe one thing your pet pawrent does that you think is REALLY LAME.

Well now, HERE we are talking!!! Hummmm, boy the list is so long…. *glances sideways at mom who is glaring back at naughty daughter* Teeheehee. Well, she seems to think we all need to be on DIETS and doesn’t let us eat and eat and eat until we either harf or gain ginormous pounds. I mean, REALLY. If I’m a teensy bit, plump, then there is more of me to LOVE! I love you all!

Now I'm tagging 5 friends and hope they want to play!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Come on in everyone, welcome to my diary! I have not written in quite a while. The recent unfortunate events among friends has prompted me to help spread the word. I am the biggest talker in my family, so I purray my diary will get more hits.

I have many very special friends. ALL of my friends are special. Right now I have two VERY special friends fighting cancer. One of whom is my cousin <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/1287482">SUGAR BEAR</a>, who recently had successful surgery for breast cancer. Although her surgery was a success, she is by no means out of the woods as yet, and her loving family is diligently watching over her and all of her siblings for the rest of their lives. They have created a very special website called <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site  onClick="alert(\'Catster Alert: You are about to visit an outside link that was submitted by this pet owner.\');" href="http://sugarrub.org/What_You_Can_Do.html">Sugar Rub</a>. If you click on the name, you will be taken to the website! Here you will learn about feline and canine breast cancer and what you can do to detect it in time, educate yourself, and even donate toward research. Cats and dogs are just as susceptible as humans, and it is not a widely known fact. Let's spread the word! There are really fun Sugar Rub bracelets available from this great site too.

My other very special friend is my sisfur Oreo’s best friend, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/266548">AGGIE</a>. She was recently diagnosed with a a very large cancerous tumor behind her soft palate. Her vet didn't take a biopsy, she said she was afraid she would make matters worse, so she took a needle aspiration and they will wait and see what type of cancer it is. She said she hopes it's lymphoma because it responds well to radiation.

“HOPING FOR LYMPHOMA”

Doesn’t that sound horrible? Hoping for the best of a bad thing. This is why we need to fight and help find a cure for cancer so that our loved ones won’t have to go through such anguish and grief. We are purring and praying for all in need. I love you Sugar Bear and Aggie, I love you all! I beliEVE!

Prayer for the Animals 
by Albert Schweitzer

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends, the animals.
Especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are
hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them, we ask a
a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals,
and so to share the blessings of the merciful.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Omicatness, I am looking back on my diary entries and the last time I wrote was nearly an entire year ago. And my photo op of cutest ME in my Famous Punkin was taken nearly... SEVEN years ago. Goodness my typist needs to get with it! 

So we pulled out our Howloween decorations and imagine my delight and surprise when mom set out my Famous Punkin! Ohhh I was just beside myself with excitement. I wanted to hop right into it. But I couldn't. I don't fit any more!! I was able to get my head into it... (MOL) but that was about it. I then stuck my head into it and pushed as hard as I could, trying to get in... I only succeeded in pushing it across the kitchen floor. Mom was MOL MOL'ing at me. Hmmmmph. I will get that punkin yet. Meantime I think I'll un-decorate her decorations for thinking this is so funny.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dear Secret Santa:

Thank you for sending me the pretty acorn with the mysterious message. But, then, MeoWOW!! I got a beautiful diamond from you too, with a WONDERFUL message inside!

Ohh, happy excited purrs! You know who you are, you know who I am, but I have noooooo idea who you are!! I love not knowing, that makes the Secret Santa game such fun! 

Well, whoever you are, I am so very appreciative of your sweet secret notes, but most of all for having made a donation to Blind Cat Rescue as my gift! I am such a lucky kitty. I have a warm loving home, loving pawrents, lots of brofurs and sisfurs, I have healthy meals every morning and every evening, I get to lay by the fire, I get to sleep in my Morgan's bed, I have loads of toys, I play play play like there is no tomorrow and I am healthy and happy.

For that my Christmas wish is to help a needy kitty, such as one in a shelter or one who needs help, such as a disabled kitty. That is my Christmas wish, and you granted it by donating to a wonderful shelter full of needy loving kitties!

Thank you, S.S.! 

Let's help make all of our friends dreams come true... donate to a shelter, volunteer at a shelter, provide used blankets, towels and toys to the needy, stop to pet a homeless kitty or offer her a bowl of food and fresh water.... gosh! I could go on and on! It is just so easy to do!

Merry Happy Christmas and good Hannukah karma to all! And if it is Kwanzaa or Good Cat Saint's Day, celebrate in style! There is no greater reward than the gift of giving.

I beliEVE!]]></content:encoded>

I was only 7 weeks old and mom scooped me up, held me in the palm of her hand and rode me to my new furever home on her bicycle! MeoWOW what a ride that was! Even though she furgot my gotcha day, I love her very, very much. And I love all of you very very much! Thank you for making my day so happy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMICATS....

My silly sisfur Oreo just received an anonymouse POTP charm to help keep her stones away, and now I DID TOO! 

Sweet anonymous gift giver, who are you???!! We want to thank you in purrson!

I have had litter box issues, yes, BUT! Mom has been giving me cranberry supplements every evening, along with a little glucosamine for pain management. Dear anonymous friend, I am feeling GOOD! (but... naughty always... *muffled giggles*)

Here is my secret message. If anyone can decode it, please paw mail me right away!

 "A certain sister of yours was asking for some purrs for you. 
She told some rather personal details about your litter box habits. We're hoping that was just a mild infection and not those icky stones. Power of the Paw and our Purrs too !" 
 

SQUEEEE! I love love LOVE you, whoever you are! 

*sits and waits with a huge oversized bouquet of electric blue sparkly Q-Tips for her good anonymous friend, anxiously awaiting him or her to reveal his or her identity, and to PLAY!*

Love love, LOVES!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Please furgive the redundancy of all of our diary entries;  the big day has finally arrived, the day my family has been preparing for over the last 9 months. We are going to start our drive across the country very early tomorrow morning, Monday 10/18! 

Things have been slowly disappearing from our house, and now the house is completely empty except for our kitty things and a few mundane human things. Well, kitty things take priority, right?? At first we were confused, a little scared and hesitant to venture about, now we’re having a ball, racing about the house and playing.

We will be driving 2000 miles from Minneapolis to San Francisco and it will take 3 full days of driving. Mom and dad will be driving all 7 of us kitties and our doggie sisfur Berkeley in the huge “van conversion” MOL MOL MOL which we’ve dubbed “The Ark”. We have faith in the Ark bringing us safely home, and we have a crew of Angel Kitties flying high above us, guiding us safely home. To all of our angel friends, thank you for guiding us and surrounding us with the safety and peace of mind that we need. Dad spent lots of money on the van to be sure it is in tip top shape for our trip, and mom got each of us our own carrier so that there is no possibility of any of us escaping. The house is full of Feliway, and catnip  and we’ve had Rescue Remedy put in our water as calming agents.

Mom even had a Reiki session done for us last night, to bathe us in healing energy and calmness. During the session, we were all very relaxed, purring and snoozing. We will do what we can to make this as easy as possible.

We will be camping out in the van, all of us together for 2 nights. *giggles* we thought it would be a challenge to sneak 7 cats and a dog into a motel… MOL! The idea of camping at KOA campgrounds offers some excitement and fun to the trip. We should be arriving on 10/20. 

I’m afurraid my family and I will be going silent for a bit. To those that have our email and cell, we sure would love to hear from you, and mom will do her best to update you.

To all who have offered your purrs and prayers, we are sincerely grateful.  My family and I love you all! We will see you on the other side, ready to celebrate and have fun again!

oh..... I have Q-Tips already stashed EVERYWHERE in the van, mom doesn't know it yet. Mahahahaha!

Xooxoxoxooxoxo
Love, Lily & the Kalifurnia Krew]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have many many thank you notes to write for the overflowing of love, gifts, messages and happiness shared with me for my Cat of the Day honor on Tuesday!

I am writing briefly in my diary in the hope that you'll read that I'll be in touch with each and every one of you very soon; mom has this "visitruder" issue at work where she's training a new person in and has no space.  So she can't play on Catster like normal. *giggles* 

I love all of you so much; you are as special to me as you've made me feel. 

Love and Q-Tips,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MeoWOW!
*zzzzoooooooooommmmsss over in the Souped Up Pumpkin Mobile* What a furtastic surprise to wake up to find this purrfectly wonderful honor! Thank you HQ for honoring me (cutest me!) as today's COTD! This is my family's very first COTD honor and we are THRILLED!

Although my page says I'm from the Bay Area, CA, we aren't quite there yet. We are moving across the country in less than a month from Minnesota to California, and mom is just so excited that she couldn't wait to put that on our pages! *giggles* Humans! They are so strange... Anyhoo, we have a big adventure coming up, for we'll be driving almost 2000 miles. Mom had better pack up ALL of my Q-Tips.

*gives mom a "look"*

I made mom get to work extra early today so that I could write my thank you's and appreciation in my diary. She is stuck with a "visitruder" at work for the next three weeks and has no space or time to herself, being that she is presently training her replacement there. Like I said before... "HUMANS"! Don't they understand that Catster is far more important??

So because her space is so painfully invaded, I'm jumping onto Catster really quickly to express my gratitude for all of the kind notes and gifts that my friends have been sending. I promise that I'll respond to all of you when I can!

My goodest friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/1086179">SMOKEY</a> had a great suggestion the other day, and that was to have mom fill her pockets with stinky blue cheese and sardines in order to drive the visitruder out. MOL MOL MOL!

On an very happy note regarding my little sisfur Oreo, she is continuing to recover VERY nicely following her surgery for removing those bad stones from her bladder. She is blowing kisses to all of her friends and waving like mad, still showing off her pink shaved tummy (slathered with SPF 30 of course)

We love you all, thank you all, and thank you HQ for bringing a bright spot to our very stressed lives right now!

Gotta run for now before the visitruder gets here... *hits the gas on the Pumpkin Mobile and zzzooooooooooms off, flinging glitter encrusted celebratory Q-Tips everywhere*

Love and Q-Tips!

I deliberately wait for mom to start cleaning my kitty box before I decide it's time to do my business in there. As soon as she starts to scoop, I jump in, give her my "look" and insinuate that she must stop what she's doing immediately. She must realize who the boss is around here. (whispers... and it is not her)

*giggles*

It is much fun, you should try it. It totally throws the human's schedule off kilter... and I take my sweet time doing my business. Mom just stops what she's doing... looks away to be polite and just waits for me to finish. I do this every single morning, and none of my other siblings do it.

Well, she does call me a little t.u.r.d., so I'm just living up to my namesake.

*giggles*

*flings a pawful of Q-Tips at mom, inviting her to play*

*sigh* Humans just don't get life and how to really live, do they?

purrs and Q-Tips to my kitty and doggy friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ .....well.... not jail EXACTLY, but it sure felt like it. Yesterday morning mom was acting abnormal (SHE is abnormal MOL) We pick up on anything that is different; something new in the house, a feeling, something changed. Well, mom was putting all of our things in her bedroom (?!) Food, water, toys, Rescue Remedy, catnip, even a... a litter box!? In her bedroom? 

So being naturally curious kitties, all 7 of us followed her to inspect everything, as kitties do. Next thing we know, she slips out and has locked us all in her bedroom!!! OMC! What is going on?? She put us in JAIL for the day! 

Mom tried to explain to us (but we don't listen very well) that "visitruders" were going to be at the house all day long, putting in our new carpet. She didn't want to risk the Visitruders inadvertently leaving a door open for one of us to slip out, so she claims she put us in jail for our own safety.

*glares at mom*

Of course what is on the other side of the door is ALWAYS better, right? So we all had our noses to the bedroom door, wanting to be on the other side, and we spent the whole day here in jail.

Well.... I suppose it is a good thing. The visitruders were scary, we don't know them so we would've hidden anyways... plus they made a lot of noise banging around and doing whatever it is that hoomans do.

So finally at 11:30 p.m. (we'd been in JAIL for practically 18 hours!).... she set us free! Bail was made MOL MOL MOL! She opened the door and we all RAN downstairs.... and FROZE!! What on Earth?? Wait... there is new funny fuzzy brown stuff on our floors, where it used to be bare concrete? WHAT is this stuff? So we all cautiously did the Kitty Creep.... walking in slow motion, butts low to the ground, checking out every single inch of this newness. (Mom was MOL MOL MOL'ing at us)

*glares at mom again*

Mom, you should know we were making the territory safe for YOU. Hmmmpphhh. When we'd determined that all was safe and well and that the new fuzzy brown stuff wouldn't hurt us, OMC it was pawty time. We all rolled around on this new soft stuff in utter bliss! Combined with the fact that the visitruders were gone and that we'd been sprung from jail! This is GREAT! It always pays to be safe. 

So if any visitruders invade your homes, take precaution. It is worth it to go to jail and be SAFE!

Happy purrssss!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Although I am having a very, very happy birthday today, I am taking time to purr and pray for all of my sick friends. In particular, my brother in law  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/707783">HOOCH</a>, and my goodest friends who are brother and sister, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/72195">ADAM DYLAN</a> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/72205">EVE LAYLA</a>.

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/707783">HOOCH</a> has been in the hospital for 2 days now and his meowmy is very worried about him; for which I am too. Please purr for sweet  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/707783">HOOCH</a>; even in times of distress, he and his family always take time to remember others. *wipes a tear away*

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/72195">ADAM DYLAN</a> has had bad diarrhea episodes and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/72205">EVE LAYLA</a> has not been eating well for several weeks now, and their meowmy is very scared for them, not knowing why this is happening, and doing all that she can. Much like Hooch’s meowmy, Adam & Eve’s meowmy never fails to support all of our friends in time of celebration and in time of need as well. Please purr for Adam and Eve too…

If you could take a moment to read all of their diaries, I know their families would be extremely grateful. Although Adam Dylan's latest diary entry is on a happy note, his meomy sent my meowmy an unhappy update late last night. It is scary going through these situations alone. I know there are many others out there who are sick and/or injured and I wish to include all in a purr chain.

Soft purrs for my friends, who mean so much to me]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yippieeeeee!!! I got tagged by my sweet friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/969040">TASHA</a>! Thank you sweetie; here is a sparkly red and blue Q-tip bouquet to go with your Kitty Cube!

In the morning mom’s alarm goes off at 4:45. Hoomans say that is insane, but for us kitties, it is the BEST time! My siblings and I usually all sleep with her, so she stays very warm. I can even anticipate the alarm going off because that means one thing to me: BREAKFAST!

Mom heads downstairs with a herd of cats, all playing the tune of Jingle Bells with our jingle collars on. She has to shuffle down the stairs so that she doesn’t step on anyone, as SOME of us have a tendency to STOP mid stair (Chance!) or flop over and roll around in her path (Odie!) I get my morning breakfast with my 6 siblings and we take over the whole kitchen floor. While she is dishing our brekkies up, I always wrestle with my brofur Poo. He’s my favorite brofur. Mom cleans our kitty boxes every  morning and every evening, and I make it a point to pee and poop while she’s cleaning.  

*bats big blue eyes at mom and smiles sweetly*

Then it’s cat nip time! We get catnip sprinkled all over our kitty condo! After breakfast I lounge in my Morgan’s bed that mom has on the bathroom counter, and I “help” her get ready for work. Sometimes I get to play Q-Tip fetch with her and help make her late for work.

*covers mouth with paw and giggles*

When she’s ready to come downstairs and gather her things, I wind myself around her legs and look up at her, giving her my CUTEST LILY face, because I know it’s treat time! I put my 2 front paws up on the stove and stretch and say miaaaaaooooowwwwmooooom and bat my hypnotic blue eyes at her.

*mom rolls her eyes*

I get treats and send her off to work from the comfort of my cushy window seat. Now this is when the fun begins, because she’s gone for the entire day. This is peak mischief time! She has no idea what I do all day, but you can bet it involves Q-Tip hunts, playing Q-Tip fetch, napping, playing with my siblings and doing everything possible that I’m not supposed to do, such as climb to the top of the kitchen cabinets.

*covers mom’s ears and whistles innocently*

Mom gets home from work at 5:30 and never know what to find… one day we destroyed the paper towels and left a huge mess in the kitchen… on many an occasion she’ll find all of the kitchen drawers pulled open and cabinet doors opened. We are very talented!

*beams with pride*

Ohhhhhh YIPPIEEE! It’s THAT time again! DINNER! We all race over to her when she walks in the door and shower her with love, for we LOVE her!!!!

*mom mutters, you’re HUNGRY. You are CATS, I know better hahaha!*

So I wrestle with Poo again, waiting for nummy dinner, and we all chow down. Now that dinner is done, it is time to ignore mom, but she is wise to us and brings out the laser toy, the Undercover Mouse, Cat Dancer  and various other toys to keep us busy and occupied. I have to lovingly remind her that it is “always” treat time, as I chatter with her. I like to help her make dinner, but she doesn’t think it’s as cute as I do when I’m up on the counter. I especially love salad! When she makes a big salad, she always gives me my own, and I chew and shred that lettuce to pieces. When she isn’t looking, I taste-test, to be sure her cooking is fit for hooman consumption. She doesn’t seem very appreciative of my diligent efforts.

*sticks tongue out at mom, knowing better*

Night time is when I help dad with his construction thingies in the basement. I am his little helper! I am also his secretary, receptionist and office manager. Dad has a home office, and I am his best employee! After the hoomans turn off all of the lights, I play with my rattle mice and race about, for I am the queen of the house! One never knows when one may find an errant Q-Tip too! Midnight is the best time to hunt Q-Tips. I get sleepy at this time and drift off in my little bed at night, dreaming sweet Q-Tip dreams and anticipate breakfast in the morning…..

I’ve got to run now. It is very important that I have my Q-Tip gift bouquets ready for my friends that I tag!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Although we all pulled together and purred and prayed our hearts out, my little blind soon-to-be sisfur Eve made her journey to the Bridge this morning. We are devastated. However as a tribute to little Eve's short life, short but VERY loved at the end, mommy is making her a Catster page. We will always believe, little Eve. You are more loved now than you ever realized. We love you. Evie is looking forward to being on Catster and making some new friends.
Love,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Foster mommy-angel auntie Jody rescued my soon to be sisfur, Eve, from the shelter in GA yesterday, and her condition is very bad. We know that she is blind and we want a blind kitty to love and care for. However auntie Jody found out that she is unable to walk on her hind legs. We don’t know what is wrong, and she is going to the vet today in order to determine what is wrong with my little sister. She is 7 months old and only weighs 3 pounds. She is also not eating, but is drinking and craving the love that she has never had, purring and cuddling with auntie Jody. She says that she would not have survived much longer at this place. We are so sad for little Eve, yet so very very hopeful that this condition is temporary and that she will make a full recovery! We are purring for you, little sisfur Eve, we are purring, praying and sending the Power of the Paw and all of our love to you! If you have a moment, please stop by and light a candle for her. 

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=EVE 

She will need all of the strength possible for her journey from GA to MN. At this point, her journey to her forever home is on hold until we know what her condition is and until she is healthy and well enough to travel. Thank you all for your kindest purrs, softest woofs and all of our support… it is helping us to be strong as well and to get through this. 

WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE, LITTLE EVE.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom told me to be excited, but I'm not. She sure is! She is helping rescue a beautiful (her words) little blind kitty, also a TABBY!!! (yessss....) from a high kill shelter in GA. All of her nice friends are helping her find her way to her forever home, here with me. She will get on an airplane and fly from GA to MN, here!

*pouts and ponders* I suppose I'll be nice to her after my initial hissy fits... for I am the Queen of the Q-Tip roost. Don't tell mom, but I always cave in to new siblings... *giggles*

Eve is her name. She was rescued on Christmas Eve, hence her name. I must admit, it's perfect. Eventually I'll show her around, but LATER. hmmmmph. 

More later....

		<description>My furriend Sterling Mithril tagged me to play the 2009 &quot;Get to Know Your Pals&quot; diary tag! How fun!  ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My furriend Sterling Mithril tagged me to play the 2009 "Get to Know Your Pals" diary tag! How fun! There are 10 questions to answer...

Here are the ten questions and my answers.

1) What color is your collar?
I have tried wearing collars just to be polite to mom, but when she’s gone, I let my favorite doggy sisfur play with me and chew on it. I went through 3 collars in one week once… MOL! The rest of my family all wear collars with bells on them (mainly so that we can’t sneak up on mom) Although we are all inside kitties, they are very purrrty and jingly!

2) What kind of food do you eat?
I eat both dry and wet Natural Balance, Solid Gold, Wellness and Royal Canin SO. We have 4 out of 7 kitties that have had stones/

3) What are your favorite treats?
I don’t eat treats!! (??)

4) Do you have a Valentine or significant other?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have always had this notion that I am Super Kitty. You know, invincible and that I cannot be harmed. I LOVE hanging out at the ceiling in the kitchen, lounging from atop the cabinets that butt up against the ceiling. I will hold still as a statue so that mom cannot see me, as I look down on her as if she were prey.... stalking her. Well mom really does see me, but she ignores me. The *THUNK* of me jumping from the top of the cabinet to the kitchen counter is a dead giveaway and she knows that I am the one up there 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time it is my little brother Chance; way to go kiddo, I taught you well.

Anyway, I was going about my business in the kitchen being as naughty as I could be, and I landed badly from my flight back down from the ceiling to the counter. Mom actually saw me do this, and after I *THUNKED* to the floor, I limped in pain to a place where I could hide. Mom thought.... uh oh..... (only ME)

So I'd been hobbling about for a couple of days when she decided to take me to the v.e.t. Thankfully nothing was broken, and I got to take pain meds from a syringe for 6 days. Interesting experience, this squirting of liquid from a syringe into my mouth. I was actually quite good about it and feeling pretty good on these meds! Oh yes! Life is good! Well... that came to a crashing halt when I stopped; mom saw that I was limping and crying out more, so she took me back to that place in my port-a-jail. I really don't like the way she drives. 

Lo and behold, turns out that I completely blew out my cruciate ligament! Tore it completely. I was quite surprised, as I'm very graceful and dainty when it comes to my escapades. Mom at least has peace of mind knowing what is up with me, and the good doctor said that all that we can do is give it time to heal. Fortunately I am no longer in pain, but still hobbling and a bit miffed that I cannot get to my ceiling hideaway. I AM milking it for all it's worth however; mom is being extra lovey-dovey to me and showering me with treats and loves. What a sucker, MOL MOL!

So, I've been dubbed Peg-Leg by my BFF <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/619075">ROSIE</a>. Perfect for Talk Like A Pirate Day! ARRRRRRRRRRR! Still hobbling about a month later, but it is definitely getting better, bit by tiny bit.

So, my friends. Please- don't try this at home!

Love and Q-Tips to all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am a pillaging and a plundering as I go on my treasure hunting adventure! *giggles at her pirate accent*

My bestest friend in the whole world, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/619075">ROSIE</a>, sent me a SECRET treasure map showing the approximate locations of sunken and buried treasures off of the East Coast, along with a tantalizing collection of Q-TIPS!  She’s out of tuna and has to find some money for mom to go to the store. MOL! And I am out of Q-Tips because mom  raided my secret stash.

I’m packing my empty treasure chest, trusty parrot and a backpack of Tiki cat food on a quest for adventure! Why, when we find all of the gold, we will be rich beyond our wildest kitty dreams! We can buy all of the Tiki Cat, cat nip and MOST importantly……  ALL of the Q-TIPS our little heart’s desire!

*excitedly flings sparkle Q-Tips up in the air*

Come on,  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/619075">ROSIE</a>, pack your bags and treasure chest and backpack of treats and let’s hoist anchor! AHOY! Why, this will be much more fun than digging for buried treasure in the sand box!

Boy if mom catches me up to my latest adventure, she’ll surely make me walk the plank….]]></content:encoded>

Giving rides and singing songs
Oh the things she's done & the things she's seen

May your pumpkin always zoom and zip
with lots and lots of CLEAN Q-tips!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Four years ago today, history was in the making. I was BORN! Look out world, here comes Lily, CUTEST future Q-Tip queen and wife of handsome <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652958">CURLY</a>! It has been one wild ride, quite literally. I was but a tiny 7 week old kitten when mom spied me in the neighbors garage. Their Momkitty had had a litter of 4 beautiful babies, and mom was captivated not only by my stunning blue eyes, but with my attitude and spunk. I waddled about on my stumpy little kitten legs, holding my stumpy little kitten tail high (almost as if in defiance, which I do so well so often as of today) *beams proudly* Well, mom scooped me right up and took me for my first and only bike ride ½ block down the street to my future forever home, clutching me close to her heart. *blissful sigh…* 

We were only a family of 4 kitties at the time; my grand Q-Tip laden appearance made us a family of 5 kitties! Little did mom know what she was getting into when she picked cutest ME! I grew from charm and innocence to downright naughtiness, defiance and breaking of all rules; as it should be, for I am the Queen of Q-Tips!

I’ve taught my humans in those 4 years that it is hopeless trying to get me to “follow the rules” so they have submissively given in to my not listening. HA HA! I now have full run of the kitchen counters and “back talk” whenever mom tries to warn me not to do something. *sticks tongue out at mom* Nyah! Not only am I Lily, it’s my birthday!

I must admit that my life has been nothing but fun and happiness since being here. That comes mainly from being an INSIDE kitty; safe and protected from the dangers of the outside world. I have 6 beautiful brothers and sisters (I’m still a little hissy at Chance; he needs to go through his “training” routine MOL) and I love my dog brother and sister. Life is good, life is very happy, and I love my family very much. Happy birthday to me!

*flings celebratory Q-Tips everywhere and invites everyone to share some birthday cake*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *hums the theme song from Spider Man*

I’m giggling  wildly and very proud of my latest accomplishment! I literally became Spider Woman, climbing the walls and defying gravity! I deftly climbed to the top of the kitchen cabinets, which I love to do on occasion, especially since I’m not supposed to. Whenever mom comes down to the kitchen I freeze and don’t breathe a word. She usually doesn’t see me, or pretends not to, knowing that it’s hopeless trying to get me to stop doing this. *sticks tongue out at mom* After reaching my kitchen-top plateau, I actually managed to open the cupboard above the microwave. This wonderful cupboard contains ALL  of the dry catfood and treats, and I KNEW it! I actually did this from above; quite the tricky feat for your average  kitty. So I pawed the door open and proceeded to dump dry catfood kibbles ALL over the kitchen. It was a MESS! Kibbles in the stove, inside the microwave vent, all over the floor, all over the counters, into the drawers.... We had a party that day! My siblings were overjoyed! Except for Oreo… she got locked in the bedroom and was just ***SHRIEKING**** in frustration to be let out! Tsk, tsk… 

So mom came home from work that day and walked into the kitchen. I defiantly stared her down from my countertop perch, challenging her to get mad at me. Not only for having done what I did, but for sitting there right on the counter staring her down. Mom just looked at me (I KNEW she was whipped), smiled, and said "good job girlfriend"...  *snicker* She was muttering something about continually having kibbles appearing out of nowhere when she thought everything was clean.

She even took pictures! I may be famous someday.]]></content:encoded>

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/576879">PRINCE STORMY OF BALTIMORE</a> 
have tagged cutest ME for a game! I love to play, so here's my diary entry!
I am SO blessed to have SO many wonderpurrrrrr friends! THANK YOU for picking cutest me, the Queen of Q-Tips!

(Note to those that I tag...Just copy the questions and delete my answers. Then tag four furriends to play along!)

Have fun!!!!

1)-What color is your collar? I don’t wear one. I chewed through 3 collars in one week with the help of my Great Dane sisfur. *covers mouth with paw and giggles*

2)-What kind of food do you eat? Now that Odie has been sick, mom is revamping our entire diet. She’s experimenting with Wellness, Before Grain, Natural Balance, Evo and Innova. So far we’ve liked everything we’ve tried. I also love lettuce; It’s my favorite human food snackie.

3)-What are your favorite treats? Oddly, I don’t eat ANY!! All I want is my IAMS dry kitten food.

4)-Do you have a Valentine or significant other? I sure DO!! I’m married to the very handsome Curly!

5)-Do you get table scraps? Yes… all I have to do is gaze adoringly at mom with my big baby blue eyes… and I get chicken, turkey and tuna bites!

6)-What is your favorite toy? If you know me, then you know it is Q-TIPS!!!

7)-When is your birthday? May 20, 2005. I’m almost four!

8)-How many times a day do you get to eat? Twice. Once in the morning and once in the evening. We each have our own bowls of wet food, and our own bowls of dry food.

9)-Do you have a favorite color? I'd have to say my favorite color is pink. I looked in the pink collar that lasted about 4 hours….

10)-Do you hope all your pals put this in their diary? Oh, I hope so.


My turn to tag!!! I will invite these kitties to play:

1. <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/780538">MR LOLLYCAT</a>
2. <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/938978">SPITFIRE</a>

4.   <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/646418">PATCH</a>

Have fun, everycat!]]></content:encoded>

ME?!! A coolest Catster?! I am tickled! Thank you, mystery gift giver! However I will be going insane trying to figure out who you are! Could you purrrlease give me a hint?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Christmas wish is to help any and all kitties, and mom let me!! I am now the proud sponsor of Cora, a blind kitty from www.blindcatrescue.com, a WONDERFUL sanctuary for blind kitties in North Carolina. The sanctuary is run by a saint by the name of Alana, who out of the generosity of her heart and genuine compassion takes in these vulnerable, WONDERFUL little kitties! Please take a peek at the website and consider sponsorship, or even a small gift! Blind kitties deserve a good home as we all do; it is unfortunate and very sad that they are overlooked because of their handicap. 
Please watch the video of the blind kitties playing! OMC! How heartwarming and how BEYOND cute!!!! You cannot even tell they're blind!!
*trots over and plays with her blind friends, noticing how HAPPY they are at the sanctuary!*
My heart swells with happiness! Everykitty deserves a good, loving and warm home, but I am especially touched by the handicapped kitties and the humans that devote their time and love to them.

I love you Cora and am PROUD to be your sponsor! MERRY CHRISTMAS!~]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am SO excited!! I keep getting tagged and I feel SO special! THANK YOU EVERYKITTY! I was tagged TWICE in two different tag games! 7 Pawsome Facts and the Thanksgiving Game! And since you are kind enough to stop by and read my diary, I will give you not only a two-for-one special on Q-Tips, I'll weave you the Q-Tip dream toy of your choice for FREE! I will weave you ANYTHING you wish: a mouse made of Q-Tips, a ball made of Q-Tips, a feather made of Q-Tips, a necklace made of Q-Tips! YIPPIE!

Here is the first one:  I got tagged by <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/855507">EDWINA</a> in the 7 Pawsome Facts Tag! AGAIN!!! Thank you, swee’pea! We love you!I have to list 7 things about myself, then tag my  pals and then we all have to write a diary entry about it. You HAVE to play! What BETTER way to get to know your fun friends!!

1. Ummmm… DOES ANYBODY KNOW THAT I LOOOOOOOVE Q-TIPS??????!!!!

2. My mother in law sang my dad a very special song yesterday. (that is MY mother in law, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652958">CURLY’S</a> mom!!!!) Everybody knows I married <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652958">CURLY</a>, right? I know, this fact isn’t about ME, CUTEST ME, but this song was very meaningful to me and my family.

3. When I spy a Q-Tip, my eyes dart back and forth SO fast mon thinks it’ll make me dizzy. She holds up a Q-Tip as if it were a magic wand and my eyes literally DANCE!

4. I ALWAYS have the last word; I back talk mom & dad ALL the time! *bows with a Q-Tip flourish* 

5. I am the only kitty in the house that is NAKED! Oh. I mean that I’m the only kitty in the house that doesn’t wear a collar. *giggles* bet THAT got your attention! I know… my answers are getting boring because they are not all Q-TIP related!

6. OH!!!! I just remembered… this is a good one. Mom always takes extra measures to “guard” the  hooman dinner so that I don’t, er, “get into it”…. Because I have a WAY of “accidentally” getting up on the counters and “happening” to notice hooman food up there….especially when the hoomans aren't looking. So mom  had a big bowl of warm, cheesy pasta with CHICKEN in it sitting on the counter, covered with a towel. She went downstairs to clean MY kitty box... I glanced at the bowl and thought to myself, "boy, does this smell GOOD!!!" *rolls eyes at the towel covering the bowl* Did she even THINK that I KNOW that’s the oldest trick in the book?! I KNOW what's under there! So… I, er, I jumped up on the counter and DUMPED the whole bowl of pasta on the floor!!! Hahahahhahaa!!! I even made it land right side up with the towel still over it, but boy was mom mad!!! I DID IT! Mission accomplished! I ran and hid until the mom-storm blew over, only to reappear as cute and innocent as I am SO good at doing!

7. I MUST make this a Q-Tip related answer, please? I leave my Q-Tips ALL over the house, and afterward, mom collects ALL of them (that she can find) and leaves them for me to play with. But… this is part of my secret stash that I use to weave Q-Tip crowns, Q-Tip necklaces and Q-Tip bouquets for my friends!!!!



AND HERE IS THE SECOND ONE! My beautiful Guardian Angel <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/704880">CHINA DOLL</a> tagged me for Thanksgiving Tag. YIIPPIEEE! I have to name 5 things I'm thankful for, then tag 5 more Catsters.  I have a lot to be thankful for; much more than just 5 things!

1. I am most grateful for my forever, warm, safe, loving home. I LOVE my family and my siblings; we are very, very lucky kitties, for we have fresh water every day, food on the table every day, toys everywhere, soft beds and kind humans that give us endless love and attention~

2. The second thing I'm grateful for is my health. I see so many sick and disabled kitties, and SADLY I see too many abused and abandoned kitties. I can see, I can hear, I can run and play, and my insides are all healthy. My little Guardian Angel was not as lucky as me on Earth, for she is now a bright and shining star in Heaven. *looks up and smiles at <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/704880">CHINA DOLL</a>*

3. I'm grateful for my handsome husband, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652958">CURLY</a>! <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652958">CURLY</a>, you are beautiful inside and out. I am so blessed to have crossed paths with you and to be your forever wife!

4. I'm grateful for Dr. Dave. Dr. Dave is our vet. He not only saved Tigger’s life, he has treated all of us for different things, and we always leave the v.e.t. feeling better. He is the NICEST man (er… next to daddy! Teehee)  in the world and we trust him with our lives!

5. Lastly, I'm grateful for all of my friends on Catster. You have all truly made me the happiest girl ever!

‘Kay, here is another TWO FOR ONE deal! I am going to tag the same 5 kitties for both games, and you can choose which, or BOTH to play in! *happily flings Q-Tips to her friends* Have FUN!
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/755369">FRECKLES</a>
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/912595">BOO</a>
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/911715">TOMMY</a>
<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/614924">MARGO, R.K.N.</a>

*zooms about in her pumpkin mobile tossing Q-Tips to the cheering crowds!!!*
OMC I am so excited, I haven’t played this game in a while! I have to list 7 interesting things about myself, pick 7 friends  to tag , let them know and write it in my diary and the pal's I tag have to write a diary also.

1. I bet NOBODY knows that I LOVE Q-Tips!!!!!!
2. I like to make mom late for work EVERY morning by playing Q-Tip Fetch with her! She tosses the Q-Tip and I fetch and drop it at her feet over and over!  *giggle* It is all to make her late!
3. I hunt and catch Q-Tips
4. I actually have activities that are NOT Q-Tip related! MOL
5. I married a Catster superstar!! My husband Curly won “Craziest Tail” in last year’s World’s Coolest photo contest!
6. I am daddy’s girl. All of my other siblings are mommy’s girls/boys, but I am DADDY’S girl!
7 . My BEST friend is my Great Dane sisfur, Berkeley.

Now I'm tagging 7 furriends and hope they want to play.

I'm happily reflecting on how blessed I am. I have a beautiful guardian angel to watch over me and protect me.  *Looks up, smiles and feels comforted by her sweet little <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/704880">CHINA DOLL</a>*
Thank you for being my guardian angel. Look at what she wrote for me:

Guardian angels are a gift from God, A treasure of immeasurable worth. Sent to guard and protect His children While they are still on Earth! Purrs and 4, China doll

Isn't she beautiful? Please, friends, her Earth brother <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/509822">MONROE</a> is sick and we are all trying to figure out what is wrong with him. He has been to the vet, he is not eating and is weak. Can we all send up a little purr and woof for Monroe? He needs Guardian Angels more than ever right now~

Gentle purrs for Monroe~]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was tagged by my good friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/646416">CLOUD</a> to play this game. I'm supposed to list 6 things I don't like. *claps and giggles* I LOVE talking about things I DON’T like!

Anyway...here are the 6 things I don't like.

1. Anything that does NOT have anything to do with Q-Tips!!!! *glances at mom, sees her rolling her eyes muttering, “here we go again”* *sticks tongue out at mom and laughs* Hey- this is MY diary!

2. I HATE being held. HATE HATE HAAATE! I mean, what is with that mushy hooman baloney? SHEESH. Just leave me ALONE (with my Q-Tips) All a kitty needs in life is Q-TIPS!

3. *spies a Q-Tip and gets distracted….* OH! *giggle* Lessee, question #3: I DON’T LIKE EATING MY CRUNCHIES WITH EVERYONE ELSE. Phoooey! I get my princess pillow at the garden window, where mom serves me, CUTEST ME, my special crunchies (IAMS Kitten) And she’d better darn well tootin’ serve me. I am THE QUEEN OF Q-TIPS!

4. I don’t like to be alone. *sigh* Okay. I suppose I’m not THAT horrid. *lowers voice so mom can’t hear….”I DO love her and follow her everywhere, but she can’t know that”* (Looks at mom to see if she’s listening) {mom speaking: I HEARD that!} ….smiles

5. I don't like taking medicine!!! HEY. It is MY choice to swallow “foreign objects”, isn’t it?! It’s interesting!  Especially when I chew up the foam padding from my bed. It’s actually kind of tasty and if it fits in your mouth, you can eat it, right? I mean, why, WHY should I have to take medicine after having had to go to the v.e.t. to have a barium done to have the foreign object be flushed out of my system? I KNOW how to use the poopie box. I don’t understand this hooman business.

6. And finally, I hate wearing one of those collars with jingle bells on it. My WHOLE family has those things on and all that bell ringing just makes me CRAZY! How EMBARRASSING. *Looks at mom and does the “crazy-sign” – pointing at the side of her head and making a circular motion next to her ear* Cuckoo! Cuckoo!! I mean, HELLO?! NO cat in her right mind should have to put up with that silly dress-up charade. Hey- if you kits need any tips on how to avoid these kinds of things, just see me. I chewed up three brand new collars in one week, just so that I would not have to wear it! MOL MOL MOL!!! Eeeevil MOL!!! Hey mom: I WIN

*claps paws!!* YIPPIESSS! Now, I am going to tag six of my friends....

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/419222">MEATBALL</a> (my sisfur O-R-E-O’S bestest best friend)

 <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/494553">GINNY “DANGEROUS BEANS”</a> (LMTO!!! I love that name!)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/648286">MADISON</a> (hi sisfur in law!)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652905">LUKA</a> (hi adopted brofur!)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/571190">TESSIE</a> (hi HONORARY sis! MOL)

<a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/652401">STANLEY</a> (hi brofur in law!)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Although I am a spoiled, HORRID little princess with 'tude and the furever Quuuutest Q-Tip Queen who backtalks and does what she wants, I am starting to feel humbled and grateful. I will be marrying Curly, the man of my dreams TOMORROW! *flings celebratory Q-Tips about for good measure*. I am very blessed to have met such a wonderful, caring man and equally wonderful family. All of my siblings have given their blessings and are honored to have Curly, Lalo, Flaca, Stanley, Jimmy Joe and Shortstop as in-laws. Look out mom, together we will ALL raise more of a ruckus than you could ever imagine!

Thank you for making me the happiest kit on Catster, Curly. I peeked at you in your tux and you are devastatingly handsome; and the Q-Tip accent in your pocket is "over the top"!! I can't wait for you to see me in my beautiful wedding dress; I've been trying it on and peeking at myself in the mirror all week. Why, even my hooman dad, who refused (in fun) to give me away, is thrilled! (even though he has no clue how to navigate about Catster.) But, that's for mom to know, and for him to wonder about. *evil Lily-giggles*.

I must admit;  even though I'm humbled to be marrying a superstar (Winner of the Craziest Tail Contest) I will always be mischevious, stubborn and downright silly. Maybe that is what attracted Curly?! I can hardly wait. Thank you Catster for giving me and all of us the opportunity to express ourselves! Hoomans don't realize that cats rule! teehee!

I hope that everypurr and everywoof will attend, or even just stop by to say hello! EVERYONE is invited! It will be at 4 pm PST (7 pm EST) on Thursday 6/26. YIKES! THAT IS TOMORROW!!! I'd better head out now, so that I'm well rested, prepared and beautiful for my wedding!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Teehee!!
*giggles* I have been tagged by <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/776812">SMOKEY!</a> 

I have to list 4 things of each of the four categories below & then tag 4 furriends, and they have to do the same (and so on, and so on, and so on). Since I didn't really follow the rules in my last tagging adventure *glares at typist* I'll follow HER rules. Purrsonally, I PREFER my Q-Tip answers. See my previous diary entries; they're MUCH more interesting when they're about Q-TIPS! hmmmph!
So, here goes:


THE 4 JOBS THAT I HAVE:
1. jumping up on the counters and cabinetry when nobody is looking (and hiding my Q-Tips there)
2. Sitting on the bathroom counter watching mom get ready for work (and pulling Q-Tips out of the garbage)
3. Making sure the house is rid of all evil things such as bugs, dust bunnies, dead leaves and fur balls (and hunting and catching Q-Tips)
4. Playing with all of my mice and losing them (and distributing Q-Tips all over the house for my humans to find later, in the oddest places)
*snicker! the typist won't even notice all of my Q-Tip answers!*

THE 4 PLACES THAT I HAVE LIVED OR STAYED AT:
1. The neighbors house, where I was born
2. I stayed at the vet overnight when I was spayed
3. My furever home with mom!!! :) 
4. thankfully, there is no #4

THE 4 PLACES THAT I WOULD RATHER BE:
1. sleeping next to my best friend, my dog brofur Berkeley (with a Q-Tip in my paw)
2. On my fleece Slumber Ball in front of the sliding glass door, gazing at the birds (and pretending they're flying Q-Tips)
3. On daddy's legs while he's in bed (and presenting him with Q-Tip presents)
4. Anywhere I am NOT supposed to be (surrounded with Q-TIPS!)


Now I am tagging 4 furriends:
ROSIE
MOUSE
SOPHIE
VIOLET]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dearest Catster and Dogster friends and Catster HQ; thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the wonderful messages and gifts for my being DOTD yesterday. My mama and I were truly, happily overwhelmed. Thank you Catster HQ, for picking ME; I really felt, and still feel, very special. This is the very best group that we've stumbled upon, ever.

I have a LOT of thank you notes to write today and tomorrow, I want to thank everypurr purrsonally, and take the opportunity to visit each of my friend's pages. Now the bad news - mama took away ALL of my Q-Tips and won't give them back until I get every single thank you note out. *giggles*
I love you all!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am so happy I am beside myself!! My secret crush sent me Valentine candy, and I tried to maintain my composure (while going totally nuts from happiness inside!) because, well, I have had a secret crush on this kitty for a long time. And, he sent me CANDY HEARTS! ('scuse me while I do some more happy dancing....) SO... I sent him a Valentine rose with a thank you note, and I got up the nerve to ask him to be my Valentine. *gulp*... he replied with a rosie and said YESSSS!!!! Whooooop! Whoooop!!! This little girl just wants to have fun and is high on a very happy cloud!!! Thank you, HANDSOME ATLAS, for being my Valentine!!! oop... (shyness kicks in) *blushing* Sorry... I can't help it. 
So, my kitty sisters are all in love... (me) heeeheee.. my sisfur Oreo, who received a BEAUTIFUL cupid rosie with a dozen roses from her boyfriend Grub, and my sisfur Odie, who is engaged to Bear, the man of her furever dreams. *sigh*... life is sooooo happy! 
OH! and my dumb brothers, although guys, are happy too! My brofur George has a secret crush (her name is Nakita) and they have been talking a lot... things look pretty magical for them too. My angel brofur Boingo is a happy go lucky guy; he is happy on cloud 9 in heaven, and Tigger & Poo are just hanging out. So.... Happiness to all, and thank you to all!
But the best part of my diary entry is... HE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Happy Valentine's Day, everypurr!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was very naughty yesterday, and I scared my mommy very much. I... *disappeared*. She came home from her work place and I was nowhere to be found! She raced around the house, looking behind closed doors, under the bed, everywhere a kitty could be. Then her worst fear: that I'd somehow escaped outside! She was FRANTIC. Well, after 15 minutes, and trying to figure things out, she heard me meow! but... it came from inside the wall! So she looked over, and there were my blue eyes looking back at her from behind the unfinished wall in the basement. I was TRAPPED! I was so excited to explore the recently packed up Christmas boxes, that I got myself wedged down a tiny passageway between the boxes and the unfinished area underneath the stairs in the basement. Boy, what a scary, dark place it is in there. So mommy had to take ALL of the boxes out of the way to rescue me, and put them all back making SURE that this wouldn't happen again. I am happy to be back "home" and out of "wall-world". At that point, all I cared about was getting my dinner. *stamping paw! c'mon, mom, feed me already!*

*and a note from mom: PLEASE close up all of these areas where kitties can get trapped, they are so curious! We have a house with an unfinished basement, so there are lots of enticing nooks and crannys!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ During this peaceful season of giving thanks, my family and I all want to wish you and your families, canine, feline and human, a blessed Thanksgiving. My brothers and sisters are posting the same message in their diaries (sorry for the redundancy) but we all have the same words to share. We want to thank you for welcoming us to the Catster family with open paws and giving unconditional love. We have learned a different aspect of love in this family, and it has taught our humans to give and feel more toward their fellow humans. We thank you for the little things, the things that mean the most~ the kind pawmail, an impromptu poem, a sweet word, website advice, waking up to find someone in Catster has done something unbelievable for you without having been asked, and so forth, whether it was offered in good times or in difficult times. We recognize that many of you have experienced the loss of a family member who recently crossed the bridge, yet you continued to smile and give love through your tears. We are a family of 7 kitties and are not zealie-rich, so it is hard for us to try to allot our stars and rosettes to so few. We wish more than anything that we could acknowledge everybody in this way, but we can’t, so we try to give our love in as many ways as we can; a greeting, a gracious compliment, wishing a sick one well, or celebrating a birthday. Just know that all of you are in our hearts. May one and all gather close with families, celebrate and have a joyous, bountiful Thanksgiving. May our homeless and shelter friend find warmth, adequate food and love. We love you~!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My mom is from the land of sun and fun, or so she says, and is not used to this MN cold. She was grumbling last night about the weather (SNOW!!! can you believe it?!??!!!??) and walking around the house with 2 sweatshirts on, being defiant about turning the heat on. Dad says she's really stubborn.
Well, we kitties decided to come to her rescue, and we kept her warm all night after she went to bed. One by one, we all crept up onto the bed and burrowed into those wonderful kitty spots that only a kitty could find... in the crook of her arm, on her chest, on her tummy, on her pillow and at her feet. We had her pinned pretty good, but boy did she stay warm! It worked! Hopefully it will help ward off the "winter crabbies"! MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I want to say a very special thank you to my beloved friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/427259">SYDNEY ROSE</a>. She and her awesome mom helped me with how to do HTML links. Among all of the many heartfelt notes and well wishes they're answering, they kindly took time to help me as a newcomer.
I've updated my last purrrrmail with links direct to all of my great kitty friends to make it easier to check out my friends!
Love to all,
Lily]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW!
I am so flattered and feel so honored to have so many wonderful new kitty friends! This has been the best week of my life, my first whole week on Catster! Now I have been tagged by my sweet friend Kayleigh. MRRRROW! Love you, Kayleigh!
Now I get to pick 10 kitties to say something nice about. That is very hard for me, because each and every kitty that I've met is incredibly special. So if I haven't included you, just know that I am thinking warm and wonderful thoughts of all of you. And if you have already been tagged, hopefully you will feel extra special. Now each of you can tag 10 kitties and make them feel more special than they already are!

1) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/257538">PUNKIN POOH</a> - You are a very special friend because you gave me my first star. You and your family were the first to become my friend and you made me feel SO welcome.

2)  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/593162">MAYTAG</a> - Kayleigh's beautiful brother. My sweet little friend who was so sick but is now better. You make me smile, and I love your name. Tag, Maytag!

3)  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/368565">TYLER MR.BOOMBASTIC</a> - You are the hippest, coolest kitty who is a sharp dresser! I am moved and touched by your beautiful poetry. Somebody was very mean to you, and you found the courage to love humans again. Kudos!

4) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/573084">LINCOLN</a> - My beautiful twin brother from afar; it is like looking in the mirror. You became my instant friend.

5)   <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/646419">POOKIE</a> - Can you fall in love with a face? I sure did. You have the cutest, sweetest little face (and bent tail). You're a tiny little fluff ball of love. Thanks for being my friend.

6) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/632093">BOB</a> - My kind and wonderful local MN kitty pal who looks just like my sister Oreo.

7) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/622712">JORDAN</a>- My brave sweetheart friend. We have prayed for your brother Siberian's safe return; stay close with your mommy and give her all of the loves you can.

8) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href=" http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/427259">SYDNEY ROSE</a> - You are the first angel kitty that I've met, you are the most beautiful angel I've ever met. You gave my brother Boingo his first star, and I know that the two of you are playing together with angels and smiling down upon us. God bless you sweetheart, you are in all of our hearts, especially your mommy's.

9)  <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/635027">TUX ROYALE O'ROURKE</a> - My sweet little teacup kitten friend, your family's newest member. I know you make your family smile and that they are very proud of you.

10) <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://WWW.catster.Com/cats/118393">ATLAS</a> - Although all of my friends are new, you are my newest friend. You kindly and unconditionally answered my online question, then sent me a rosette!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi, my wonderful kitty friends! 
I am starting my first diary. I hope you read it. I am the loudmouth of my family, so I guess I'll represent all of my kitty brothers and sisters. I (we) have been on catster for a WHOLE week now, and as our poor mom has been trying to figure everything out, WE have been having a ball here!!!! I (we) received our first rosettes today, and you don't know how much that means to us. WOW!!! It is wonderful to be loved and accepted in the kitty community. I (we) want to personally thank all of you for sending loves and fun! Special thanks for beautiful Karma kitty.... she kind of started all of this, as we are figuring things out, being our first kitty friend and all. But, all kitties are our special friends! So, we hope to pay special attention to each and every one of you, as you have done fur us. 
Loves, purrrrrrrs, hugs, head bonks and sandpaper kisses-
Lily and family  =^.^=]]></content:encoded>
