		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My family would like to Thanks you all for the wonderful Mothers Day Gifties.  
We want you to know our Grammy and Meowmy had a beautiful Mothers Day.
It was about 60 here with cold winds.  They didn't gets to do their outside work done that theys wanted to...but they did others things and enjoyed the day.  
Grammy was bad....she had a high sodium day...but will be good today.
She had a cheese steak sub and some junk foods.  Way to much sodium...but it was her day and that's what she wanted.  So today she must be good again.

Once again our family Thanks you for the Gifties and your friendships.

Have a Great Day All!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep it's another Hot Day!  3:00pm and it's 82degrees.  Grammy has the windows, doors and porch open....wes even gots the fans on.  It gots warmer than they said.  
The good news is some of us gots to go outside  this morning.
Grammy tooks Taters and Harley out and they gots to walk around the yard and gots to be in the cat condo.  Grammy also Furminated them.  She said the back yard looks like we have two more kitties....she also said the birdies will love all that fur for their nests.
She planned on taking more of us out....but it gots to hot...so she said maybe when it cools off later she will take more of us out.
The bad news is I was not one of the kitties that gots to go outside!!!!
Grammy did wash my eyes with a cool cloth....but I didn't get to go outside.
Maybe later.  
Anyway I'm being a good boy and just laying around the house with my siblings.
I did gets to see the little chipmunks.  Theys so funny!
Hopes you all have a Great Day and have fun!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well we still here and it's still raining....raining....raining.
The rain is picking up as is the wind and gusts of wind.  We don't like it one bit.
We are very upset.  Some of us are trying to sleep....while others are up and down from room to room.  Only one of two of us is looking out the windows.  In fact when Grammy opened the shutters this morning Tater cried till she closed them.  So the rooms that have shutters are closed.  And we likes it that way. 
The news is still giving all day updates and no good news yet.  They are closing some bridges cause of high wind warnings.  Some roads are closed, cause of rising water and they say just stay put.
Our PA neighbors PenDot may even being closing roads to all except emergency personnel.  Schools are closed today and even more are reporting closing for Tuesday.  It's just not a good day.  And it's getting cold too.  In fact the one channel said we may even get some some flurries late tonight or tomorrow.  The one weather person said this storm is throwing us everything ...except sunshine.  Sure hopes the sun will come out tomorrow....tomorrow.

Everyone please be smart and be safe!

Love Francis

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I ask this question....Can life gets any better for a cat?
Today started out cloudy and rainy...buts it was starting to clear.  Grammy opened all the windows and doors and we filled them fast.  We even gots the 2 side windows in the bay window open.  What a treat.  Thanks Grammy.  Well grammy is cleaning and said whiles she was waiting for the floor to dry she would take four of us outside.  Meowmy puts our harness on and we has been outside most of the afternoon.  Moo-Moo, Tommi, Tater Tot and Me (Francis) all in the cat enclosure.  We be good! Cause if we can't be goods, Grammy brings us in and takes someone else out.  So we be good.  Tater is on the top of the latter pretending to be King of the Castle.  Tommi was is the little tree house....but Moo pushed her out.  So she is laying around on the cool grass in the shade.  And than there Me.  I just love prancing around and checking all the outside stuffs out.  Yep!  Life is Grand.  Don't worry Grammy gave us a big bowl of cool water and it's in the shade.  Wish you were here my friends.  It's great.
Have a great day ....I know I am!

Oh no!  My great day just got bad!  I gots in trouble!  Meowmy has been outside doing gardening works and came over to sit down with us and I, made a break for it.  Yep! I wanted to walk around the yard on my own.  Which is not allowed...we must have our leashes on...and I didn't wait...I just got right outs the gate.  So Mean Meowmy bringed me inside and told Grammy I can'ts go outside any more!!!!!!  Tommi also gots in trouble and she's inside to.  I thinks Meowmy just meant We can't go outside anymore today....What do you all think????? She can't mean forevers!  Hangs his head in shame.  MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well today several of us got to goes outside in the cat cage.  
This morning after the grass dried off Grammy took Tater Tot and Harley Outside.  A little later she came in and gots me too.
This year we gots a bigger kennel.  It's was a dog's kennel...and it's a used one but it's a great one.  It's more than double our old one.  We have our old tree house in it....our old bench and our hide and potty....and our old corner tower.  Plus our planter of cat nip!!!!!!  Now we have a old step ladder Pappy fixed for us and Grammy and Pappy each have a lawn chair to sit on.  It's great!  I almost forgots... in the middle of it's an old tree Pappy cut and Grammy said to leave up so we have something to scratch on. Grammy even gots the umbrella so we can have some shade.  But I am scared of it.  I mean I freaked out!  It took about 10 mintues before I gots calmed down and than really enjoyed myself.  
After a few hours the sun moved and we were running out of shade so Grammy made us go in.  Nobody wanted to go in .... we wanted to walk around the yard.....but they made us go in.  It's hard to get in the door .... when others are waiting their turns to come out.  But Grammy told them they would have to wait till evening. After dinner Zeeke, Cleo, and Tommy gots to go out.  Boy was I upset....I thought sure I was going back out.  But Grammy said something about we have to take turns....and if we can't behave we can't go again.  I said What Ever!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi Everyone!
It's a beautiful day in Maryland!
It's almost 70!  
The day started with some fog, but nice temps.  It cleared off and gots clear.  We have a beautiful view of the mountains.  Even though most of the leaves have turned brown there are still a few with color and it's just beautiful!  Wish you all could see them and the mountains in the distance.  Looks just like a postcard.
When we gots our breakfast it was warm enough for
Grammy to open one window.  
We quickly took turns being in the window and getting some fresh air.
Just before Lunch Grammy opened the door to the porch.  We rushed out the door and got in the windows to soak up some of that nice warm sun.  
Grammy went outside to check on her gold fish in the pond and feed them.  This summer we had baby goldfishes.  So our fish pond has about 15 fishes in it, plus two froggies.  
We even have one day Lily that has been blooming, and some lavender that is in flower again.  We know they won't last much longer, cause we will be getting more frost.
This has been a great day!  We even gots some fresh catnip!  Yum!  I gots the zoomies!!!!!  I didn't even care that Grammy gots the Vacuum out and used it.  I just keep zooming up and down the hall...in and out of the porch....peeking around the doors for Grammy.  Yep! I gots the Zoomies!  Do you think it was the Nip?
Well it's been a great day here in Maryland.
Hope we have a few more left...but the weatherperson says things are about to change.  So gonna just enjoy what we have today and see what tomorrow brings.
Hope you all have a beautiful day too!  Make the most of it and enjoy life!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BOY IT WAS SCAREY LAST EVENING, BUT EVERYTHING IS FINE FOR NOW.
IT WAS A HHH (HAZEY, HOT, AND HUMID DAY) HERE ON MONDAY.  SO IN THE EVENING A BAND OF THUNDER STORMS FORMED FROM PA TO VA.  WE WERE LUCKY WE ONLY GOT THE EDGE OF IT IN OUR AREA.  HOWEVER IT WAS REALLY SCAREY.  THE SKY GOT A FUNNY COLOR, THE RAIN CAME DOWN IN SHEETS, AND THE WIND WAS BLOWING.  THE LIGHTENING WAS STREAKING TOO.  THE FAMILY WAS IN THE HALLWAY, BUT COULD SEE OUT ONE WINDOW IN ANOTHER ROOM.  MAN THE TREES WERE BLOWING SO HARD IT LOOKED LIKE THE LIMBS WERE TOUCHING THE GROUND AT TIMES.  SOME OF US WENT AND HIDE, OTHERS STAYED IN THE HALLWAY WITH GRAMMY AND THE FAMILY.  THAN WE LOST OUR ELECTRIC.  NO LIGHTS, NO AIR.  STILL RAINING AND COULDN'T OPEN THE WINDOWS.  IT WAS GETTING WARM IN THE HOUSE.  THAN THINGS STARTED TO LIGHTEN UP, THE RAIN STOPPED.  WE COULD OPEN THE WINDOWS AND THE DOORS.  WE ALL GOT INTO THE WINDOWS AND SMELLED THE FRESH AIR.  THINGS WERE COOLING DOWN.  IT REALLY GOT PLEASANT.  GRAMMY AND THE FAMILY WHEN OUTSIDE TO SIDE FOR AWHILE.  THEY DIDN'T TAKE ANY OF US OUT.  WHAT A BUMMER!!!!!!  THEY SAID WE WERE LUCKY SO FAR!  TOWARDS TOWN YOU COULD SEE THEY WERE STILL GETTING IT.  THE SKY WAS SO DARK, THAN THEY SAW MORE LIGHTENING IN THE DISTANCE, SO THEY ALL CAME BACK INSIDE.  YES WE WERE LUCKY, CAUSE THAT STORM NEVER CAME OUR WAY.  ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER OUR ELECTRIC CAME BACK ON AND THINGS WERE NORMAL AGAIN.  
WE GOT TO WATCH THE TV INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE RADIO.  

HEY KRINGLE.....IF YOUR READING THIS.....HOW WAS IT OVER IN YOUR NECK OF THE COUNTY?

WELL TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY AND IT'S ALREADY STARTING OUT HHH AGAIN.  THEY SAY WE MAY GET TO 100 TODAY!  SURE HOPE NOT.  THEY ARE ALSO CALLING FOR CHANGE OF MORE THUNDER STORMS.  HOPE NOT!

WERE EVER YOU ARE PLEASE HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BE SAFE.  

OH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THINGS.  MEOWMY WAS IN THE DAYLILLY GARDEN YESTERDAY AND TOLD GRAMMY WE HAVE ANOTHER VISITOR.  IT WAS DOWN NEAR THE FISH POND AND CRAWLING THROUGH THE FENCE TOWARDS THE POND AND THE ONE FLOWER BED.  CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IT WAS???????  GRAMMY DID!!!!! YEAP! IT WAS A SNAKE!!!!!  GRAMMY IS SCARED OF SNAKES,  SHE SAID, SHE DON'T WANT TO KILL THEM, SHE JUST WANTS THEM TO STAY IN THE FIELD ON THERE SIDE OF THE FENCE.  MEOWMY TOLD HERE IT WAS A GARDNER SNAKE AND IT WAS A LONG ONE.......SHE WOULD HAVE MOVED IT, BUT SHE COULDN'T GET TO IT.  SO NOW GRAMMY IS LOOKING EVERYWHERE WHEN SHE GOES OUTSIDE.  GUESS SHE'LL RUN THE OTHER WAY IF THEY MEET! 

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

LOVE, FRANCIS]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is a beautiful day here in Maryland.  The Weather is sunny, in the 60s so far and a bite of a breeze. 
Today is Mothers Day.  That means we cats will celebrate our Meowmy and Grammy.  Things are starting out right.  Meowmy feed us and we were good.  Than we loved all over her.  Next was Grammy.  We let her sleep in.  However a few of us did get in bed and tell her how much we love her.  When she got up, we were all over her.  We are giving her lots of rubs against her legs, head bonks, and being her shadows.  We are just full of Love for our Meowmy and Grammy.  Meowmy had to go to work, so we gave her kisses when she left.  I'm not sure how the rest of the day will go, but we do plan on being good today.  Hope you all remember your Moms today and are treating them with lots of love too!  

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's official...it was a tornado!  Granted it was only a EFO.  Which means it was the lowest level tornado.  Well let me tell you all, I hope to never see another one.  I can't imagine a strong one.  
It was closer than we thought too.  It was only 1/4 mile from our house.  In fact if the woods was not there we would be able to see the house it did hit.  Way to close for comfort!

We send our purrs and prayers to the states that got hit really hard, and to the families who lost some much.  Boy this is crazy weather everywhere!

Hope you are all safe and have a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday was a very gloomy day here.  We had no birdie show, no other TV, no lights, no puters, no electric.  We had been without electric since early Saturday night.  
Let's me tell our story!  It had been rainy Saturday...than it clear off....than Grammy was working on the puters and ask Meowmy if she was getting a bath.  Meowmy said later...Grammy said look at the darkness coming over the mountains.  So Meowmy hurried up for her bath so Grammy could get hers.  Well the sky gots dark grey and the rain started again.  Within a few minutes the lights flickered so Grammy gots off the puter.  Than all of a sudden the winds, darkness, and hard pounding rain came.  It was really scary....use cats went running.  Than no lights.  Pappy heard the emergency vehicles from a distance....but they were getting closer.  After a while we noticed lots of traffic coming back our road.  This usually happens when there's a bad accident and they have to shut the main road down.  Well this traffic kept coming all night long...so we knew it was more than just a accident.  We didn't even have phone service.  Sunday morning came and still lots of traffic.  Pappy and Meowmy went out a gots stuff to eat for lunch and said the road was still shut down.  They couldn't see anything.  Well it was about 21 hours before we got electric...but it wasn't till 9am till the main road was opened.  They were busy cleaning up the mess mother nature made.
They said Carroll County had 4 possible tornadoes.  Only 1 has been confirmed...that was 10 miles from our house.  We are waiting to hear if our was a tornado or just very high winds.  They said they should know by tomorrow.  We don't want to ever go through that again.  Too Scary!  Everyone is safe!

Have a great day!]]></content:encoded>

What's wrong with this picture?
It's suppose to be Spring!

The trees are white again....and where did the green grass go?

If it keeps snowing he will need a sleigh too!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I come to you today with very sad news.  Our sisfur Onyx was taken to vets this morning for what we thought was a broken leg.  Only to find out it was neurlogical problems.  They took a fluid sample and it was FIP!  Meowmy and Grammy made the desigison to let her go to rainbow bridge.  As Onyx was so ill.  Grammy held her in her arms in a blanket as she slipped away.  She is now at Rainbow Bridge.  No more pain, or illness.  She is with her sisfur Tiggy and Uncle Yoda.  They will show her around.  Grammy has leaky eyes sometimes and told us all Onyx is at a better place.  Grammy is so thankful for a little over 2 years of  happy fun filled days with Onyx.  Grammy will miss Onyx and always love her as she does us.  Please keep Onyx and our family in your purrs and prayers today.

Update on Kahless.
He is home and will be fine.  Will write more when we can.

Thank you all for your purrs and prayers for Onyx and Kahless.

Have a great day.

Love, Franics]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Update 12:40pm est

Sorry to leave in the middle...but we got a call from the vets and they wanted us to take Onyx & Kahless in right away.  Some good news....some not so good news!  
Onyx first....Temp is coming down....got another shot....Steriod...she seems perkier than what she was...eyes are brighter and have more life....newmies are still running out, but have a bit more consistency and color change.  She seems to be walking more upright than droopy.  And we didn't have to do anymore sub-q today.

Not so good news is Kahless.  That Chrystal Chick has visited him again....he has a blockage.  He had to stay at the vets.  The are treating him now.  He may have to spend the night.  Purr for Kahless as we need to get rid of the Chrystal chick.

Hopefully no one else gets sick. 

We Thank you all for you purrs and prayers for our family.
Love, Francis and his entire family

------------------------------------------------


Thank you Diary Centeral for my DDP again today!  We just can't believe it!  I am so honored.
Thank you to all my friends for the email, pmails, gifties, pictures and comments.  My friends are the best!
Please save you gifties, if you feel you need to give them, please send to my sisfur Onyx.  Onyx ID#930994. She is really sick and still needs your purrs and prayers.  We do have a little good news....her temp. has come down to 100.7.  However we are still are force feeding her....but it's coming out as fast as it's going in.  Poor baby!  We are waiting to hear back from the vet, as she wants updates too.  We love Dr. Holland.  We will update you when we know more too.
Meanwhile the rest of the family seem to be doing a little better too.  Kahaless is still upset a little, he seems to be haveing a hard time in the potty...so we are watching him. He has gas....As for Meowmy she still feels ucky....now Grammy don't feel so good. As Grammy is writing this we put another call into the vets about Kahless.  Now both of them have gotta go to the vets.  Got to close as we have to go the the vets.  Please keep up in your purrs and prayers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ update on Onyx 7:00pm est

Grammy just typed it all out and forgot to save it and lost it.  She must be tired.
So she will redo a shorter version.
Onyx did go back to the vets this morning....she had a temp of 104.  Poor baby is really sick.  The vet did a X-ray which was ok....bloodwork which was not good.  Not good at all.  They just can't pin point what this is.   We gots more meds and special food for Onyx.  If she doesn't eat we will have to us the syringe....she started to take a few licks, but stopped ...so we syringed the rest.  She does drink water on her own.  She still has the watery, stinky newmies...we hope the meds soon help them.  She got more sub-q's.  They gave us a few diapers to put on her to help keep her clean.  Poor baby doesn't like them.  In fact she took one off already!  We will let you know more when we do.  
In the meantime .... can spare a few purrs for Onyx.

Also not feeling well today is Kahless, Zeeke, Tommie, and Kibbles.  They have all thrown up once today.

Meowmy is feeling a little betters.  She has been able to eat and keep things down so far.

Grammy is just Tired.

===================================================



Thank you all for making the past two days so exciting!  First my Birthday...than Cat of the Day and A DDP.  There was so much excitement in the house.  I got lots of attentions, fine dinning and lots of love.  I Thank all my friends for the pmails, emails, comments, pictures, gifties, new friendships and group honors and invites.  I will treasure them always.

Today is a sick day at our house.  It really started yesterday.  Grammy had to take Onyx to the vets.  She's not eating...and she's throwing up, and has the newmies really bad.  The vet gave her Sub Q's and some tummy meds and a shot.  Onyx has a fever and is a little jaundice and also has a foul body odor.    We have to call the vet today and let her know how Onyx is doing.  Onyx may have to go back to the vets again today.  We will try to update later today.  
Meanwhile Grammy was awaken by Meowmy calling her to get up...she's not feeling well.  Grammy got up to help Meowmy...who was laying on the floor.  She felt like she was going to pass out!  She scared poor Grammy!  Grammy got her a cold compress and some ginger ale.  Meowmy finally felt betters enough to get up and go back to bed.  Than Kahless threw up all over the place...this was before we had anything to eat....than Tommie threw up a hair ball.  Poor Grammy!  All this before 5am.  
We got fed early....since Grammy was up!  Now everyone is resting.  

It's a ugly day....lots of rain....in fact to much.....lots of places are flooding.

Hope the day gets better!
Have a great day!

Love, Francis and family]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 7:00pm - UPDATE ON ROMEO...
He's home!  It's like he's a different cat from yesterday.  The vet said he even ate for them.  His kidneys are a normal range again and he is purring and meowing.  We still have to keep an eye on him, but things are looking up.  If he doesn't eat or drink for us again, he will need to go back to the vet for fluids again.  We hope he will eat for us.  Thanks for all the purrs sent to Romeo.  We know they help!

Tater and Francis have enjoyed their day and are glad Romoe is home.  Grammy and Meowmy got us all Butterscotch Pudding and Tapica Pudding to celebrate Tater's Birthday, Franny's DDP, and Romeo's Welcome Home Party.  We even got treats!  What a Happy Day!

---------------------------------------------------------


Here at our house there's a lot going on today!
First....I'm a DDP today!  Grammy told me!  We were very surprised and excited.  Grammy got up first and she fed us.  We had Fancy Feast Turkey and Gravy.  She even gave me left overs.  So far so good!  She didn't even know I was a DDP and I was getting special treatments.  I got extra brushes, and petties too!  So far....so good.
I would also like to Thank Catster Diary Central for this honor.
Many Thanks to all my friends who have sent me pmails, comments, gifties and Congrats.  I love my friends.  Speaking of friends....several of my friends are also DDP today too.
I wish you all a Great Day!

Second....a update on my brofur Romeo.  Not so good news....Grammy had to run him to the vets yesterday.  Quick!
He was very listless and moaning.  She was scared and her eyes were leaky.  The vet said his gums were looking great...but his kidneys were not so good.  He was dehydrated.  They decided to keep him over night and give him fluids slowly.  We haven't heard from them yet, but we are hopeful. They said they would call...but it would probably be in the afternoon.  They wanted him on the fluids as close to 24 hours as possible.  Than, they were going to see about stimulating his appetite.  We will let you know more....when we do.  Oh, the vet also said he thinks Romeo is a lot older than we thought.  When we adopted him they said he was around 2 years old, back than the vets thought his was older, but only a year or two old... but the vet said his eyes and body are saying that he appears to be in his later years.  Probably closer to 15.  Something we didn't want to hear. Please purr for Romeo, he is such a good boy.  

Third....Today is my other Brofur Trooper Tater Tots Birthday!
Grammy love us all....but truth be known.....Tater is her special little man.  Tater is eating better this past week and he is gaining some weight back.  He has stomatitis and has a hard time eating.  Grammy and Meowmy make his foods real soupy, but this week he is eating some of the stuff right out of the can.  Today he had some of the Turkey and Gravy with us...but he couldn't eat it all..so ...Grammy mixed up some of his food with warm water and made it soupy.  He finished it all.  Tater has been wearing a calming collar for about a week now....they got him one to see if it would help him not be afraid of his food.  So far it seems to have helped!  

It's a cold morning....only in the 30's ....but the sun is shinning and we are excited.  The cat tree is full of cats...laying in the sun...but the birdies haven't come back yet!  There, are a few...but not many to watch.  One of the squirrels did come to the feeder, but he didn't stay.  Guess they are still scared of that hawk.  Grammy didn't see him yesterday, but he might be in the tall pines and she wouldn't be able to see him. 

Well got to go....it's a busy day.
Hope you all have a great day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my Gosh!  Grammy finally got a good look at that hawk!  He's really a big one.  He was sitting on the big house type bird feeder.  She saw him on it today.  Twice!  She was so excited.  At first she thought it might be a young eagle, but Meowmy came running and said no it was the hawk.  He must have sat on that bird feeder just watching and looking around for 30minutes or more.  He is a beautiful bird,  but Grammy is sorry to see him hanging around so much.  Our birdies don't come by as much, with him prowling around.  They don't want to be his dinner!  We sure hope the birdies come back tomorrow.
Have a great evening.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh it's a beautiful day in Maryland.  It's 54 degrees, most of the time the sun is shinning.  Great day to lay in the windows.  Grammy has two windows open for us today....and guess what?.....they are full of cats.  When one jumps down....someone else jumps in.  It's great!  However, she did not open the porch.  Something about the floor is cold.  We don't have many birdies today, cause that Hawk is back and was sitting in our tree...this morning.  Now, Meowmy is outside, pruning the brushes and cleaning up the flower beds.  She checked her daylilies and some of them are shooting up.  Boy that's a good sign.  That means spring is on it's way.  Grammy went outside and walked around and checked her pond.  She took some of the leaves and stuff out of it..that the wind blew in.  She saw some of fishes swimming around too.  She saw her big old white guy.  She was happy to see her fishies.  She hasn't seen any frogs yet, but they usually come out when it's warmer.  Grammy walked around and checked out Cat nip plants.  They are also starting to show so green.  Great....some more warm temps and we might get a leaf or two......Yes things are showing signs of Spring.  We are all glad, cause we are tired of the white stuff and we don't want any more.  We do still have a small pile of it in the back yard....but it's sort of dirty looking.  Well got to go....I think it's my turn in the window again!  Have a great day.

Love, Francis]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a day we have had.  It started out early this morning.  Four of us went to the vets.  
Kibbles and I went for our yearly....we got to go home.
Cleo and Romeo stayed all day....they had dental work....Poor babies.  They had more work than first thought.
Romeo was to have one or two teeth pulled...But they found a problem with him.  He has stomatis.  Really bad.  They ended up pulling ten of his teeth.  Poor baby.
Cleo was to have a cleaning and one tooth pulled.  She ended up having four teeth pulled.  She also has a fever and we have to watch her.  They both have meds and pain meds.  They were so glad to get home.  First place Cleo went was for her food bowl.  We couldn't believe it...she was eating her dry food.  They didn't think she would want crunchy......we gave her some wet....she only ate a small amount of that and went back to her dry.  Romeo hasn't eaten yet....we tried to give him, his wet food, but he left and went in Grammy's bed and went to sleep.  Hopefully they do well and are back normal in a few days.
Everyone is glad we are a complete family again.  We are Family!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Kibbles and I are going on a Bird Watching Tour, Sunday.  It's with the Group Kewlest Catser Kitties.  We always have fun with our group of friends.  Going Bird Watching will be fun.  Grammy got me a new outfit to wear, and we are getting our Birding Stuff together.  I just can't find my Birdie Book.  I thought I put it in the bookcase.  Better go back and look harder.  
If you love to watch birds and enjoy nature, why not stop by and join the group.  You'll have lots of fun.
Angel Yoda sent us a message, that he will be flying with the birdies so we can't wait to see him.
Have a great day and remember to come join in the fun.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy is it a great day here in Maryland today!
Grammy is cleaning again today....But this time she opened the bathroom window for us!!!!!!  She said it was already 56 degrees when Meowmy left for work this morning and she wanted to air things.  She said we had to share that window cause it wasn't warm enough to open all the windows.  Tommie was first, we thought she would never get out of the window.  Grammy was cleaning and laughing at us.  You see we all lined up waiting for our turn.  She loves us so much she didn't finish cleaning...she moved to another project.  Little did we know she was sweeping the porch off and moving the bag of salt and making room on the porch for us.  She said when it got warmer she would let us on the porch.  Oh! Boy!  Well it's not lunch time yet, but the temps have hit 61 already.  Guess what?????  She kept her word and now the porch is open for us.  What a day.  Now some of us are in the opened window and some are on the porch and some are just hoping she'll open the dinning room windows.  The squirrels are chasing each other round and round and re hiding the peanuts they buried in the snow.....reason being the snow has melted and we have green grass! WOW!  We do have mud also.  The birdies are chirping and enjoy the warm weather too.  They are fluffing their feathers and sitting on the patio, enjoying the warmth of the bricks.  The weather people are calling for another day like this tomorrow, except with some wind.  Sure hope Grammy opens the window and porch again.  Well gota run for now....I want to enjoy the sun while I can.  Hope you all have a Beautiful Day.
Yes, Spring is in the air!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good morning all.
I am sending everyone - Lots of Love, Hugs, Kisses and Purrs today!  I wish you all a Happy Valentine Day!
Grammy got up this morning and the first thing she did was Wish us all a Happy Valentine Day and then we all got Kisses and Lovins from her.  She gave us Turkey and gravy for breakfast and she played some with us.  We watched the birdies and squirrels and we played a little more.  Meowmy had to go to work, so we gave her some loveins and meowed our goodbyes...we don't understand why she left, we were not done playing......
Now the house is quite.....most of us are taking a well deserved catnap!  Hope you all have a Loving day, just like we are.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's My Turn to talk!  
I just wanted to update you all on my furbro Romeo!  The vet just called and his blook work came back great!  No Thyroid problems.  So his weight loss must be cause of his tooth.  He goes to the vets in a few weeks to have that taken care of.  
Little did Kibbles and I know, but we will also be going to the vets with Miss Cleo and Romoe on that day.  We will be leaving them there for the day for their dental work, but we will be going to get our yearly check up and shots!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!
Well Kibbles and I have a few weeks before that so I am going back to playing and taking care of my family.
Have a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We got lots of the white stuff last night.  In fact we got more than we needed.  It all started yesterday.  Snow all day - off and on - big flakes - little flakes - and it just kept coming.  We gots about a foot or more of snow.  
As a bonus, we lost our electric around 10:30pm Wed and didn't get it back till around 3:00pm today!
We don't like living like pioneers!!!!!
We had no TV so we couldn't watch our much loved birdie shows.
We had no lights.  We had no heat! Thank goodness we have a coal stove in the basement, but it was still cold upstairs.  We all were laying in the beds.  In Grammys bed was 5 of us.  In meowmy's bed there was 7 and meowmy.  She laid in bed and read a book today. So we were all comfy with her.  Kibbles was in his little house all snuggled up.  Three of us were in the Catputer room, snuggled in the cat tree pouch, on the chair with the blankies, and in the bunk beds with the body heat pad.  A few of us were in the living room window watching the snow and the few cars that went by.  We were so cold no one wanted to play or anything.  We couldn't figure out why Pappy was home again today....why Grammy was cleaning our cat trees with this hand held type thing - instead of that noise vaccumn...and mostly why they were eating peanutbutter sandwiches for lunch!!!!  Than the lights came on and things slowly got back to normal!!!!!!  Grammy started the oven for dinner, the water was working again and our birdie show was back!  Life is good again!  Oh I gots to go and see what smells so good in the oven, I think someone said something about Turkey and gravy!  Not sure! Hope you all are safe and warm with your families.  Have a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is Grooming day at our house.
Meowmy is trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing us.  She will also check to see if everything else is ok!
Everyone is hiding from Meowmy!  Grammy is ok!  She's not doing it.
So far, I have been lucky!  She hasn't found me!
Spoke to soon, she grabbed me, while I was walking down the hall.
I don't mind the brushing, but that ear cleaning is another thing!  I hate it!  My ears get very dirty!  I don't have ear mites, the doctor said I just have funky ears!  Whatever that means....anyway Meowmy uses this liquid in my ears to help get them clean.  I hate it!  It's Cold!  I always shake it all over the place... you would think that would stop her from cleaning my ears....but NO!  She continues.
Finally, I'm done!  Meowmy says I'm a clean handsome guy again!
I run to show Grammy.  Now I'm going to hide again!  Well maybe I'll play first!
Hope you all have a Great Day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today started out like any other day.  Than Meowmy got the laser light out!  Wow! What fun. Grammy said get the Under Cover Mouse out and put it in the kitchen for the ones that like it.  Than the others will have more of a chance to play with the laser light.  Boy that worked.  Some of us played under cover mouse and some did the laser light.  We must have played about 30-45 min.  Than Meowmy got the feather toy.  Well off we go again.  
After all that play time, we started to wind down. Believe it or not.  We were out of energy.
Later in the day Grammy went outside and cut some fresh catnip.  She cut a basket full of the stuff.  We have had several frosts and the nip is getting frostbitten, so she cut one plant back hard.  She is going to dry some of the nip for in the winter months.  But we got to pick out of the basket what we wanted.  Most of us are still so tired from playing this morning we aren't doing much with the nip.  Grammy never thought she see the day we were to tired for nip! MOL!  I don't know what the others plan on doing the rest of the day, but for me I'm going back to sleep.  I'm tuckered out!  Talk to you later!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh I am so excited!  We got to go outside today!  Grammy took Zeeke out first!  He's 1st Born, and leader of the Pack!  Than she took Cleopatra out!  Than Tater Tot!  When Tater Tot came inside she had a BIG hand full of fresh CATNIP!!!  She just threw it on the kitchen floor for anyone that wanted it.  Than Meowmy came in and she took me outside.  Oh I was so excited!  Finally I got a turn!  I got to walk all around the backyard.  I didn't have go in the cat enclosure at all.  I walked over to the fish pond, the daylily gardens, in the pine trees, over by the roses and than I smelled something!!!  Strangers!!!  Strangers  peed on our Mugo Pine.  That took some nerve.  Our yard has a fence all around it!!!!  Someone was trespassing!!!  I know who it was!  It was that ugly (no scratch that) White and Black cat that Grammy seen last night!  She says he looks like me.  Only White and Black.  Well after that shock!  I decided to inspect the yard again!  I got to go in the Catnip and enjoy that too.  I saw hop-a-roos (grasshoppers and crickets) and the chipmunks were out.  Several of them.  I sat and watched them.  Than 2 birdies went to the feeder.  Oh this has been a great day!  Than with a frown on my face Meowmy said I had to go in. It was someone else's turn to come outside.
Tommie was next  she lucked out Meowmy wasn't watching her at one time and she almost got one of the chipmunks!!!!!  But Pappy saw her and yelled at Meowmy.  PJ was the last to go outside, she was thrilled.  She walked all over the place and she kept watching for chippers.  Kibbles didn't go outside, cause he was sleeping in his house and wouldn't come out to get his harness on.  He did however have a great day laying in the warm sun most of the morning....
We hope everyone had a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Boy is it a beautiful day here in Maryland.  The sun is shinning, the temps are in the 65-70s.  The windows and porch are open.  We cats are busy watching the squirrels gather their nuts to hide.  One squirrel had a large walnut in his mouth and was looking for a place to hide it.  He was beside pappy's pickup and was going to hide it there.  Duhhhh! Everyone walks there!  They'll see it!  Even us cats knew that! Than he decided that wasn't working, so he picked the nut up and tried a few other dumb places.  Finally he took his nut and left.  Don't know where he ended up putting it.  Put I bet it's not a safe place. 

Than we were looking a all the bugs on the window screens.  Oh boy!  What fun we are having...trying to get the bugs that are outside not inside.  Our screens are full of those stink bugs.  A few of the stink bugs managed to get in on the porch.  Wow! are we having fun.  Those things crawl and fly.  Just when you think you have him....he ups and flies away!

Hope you all are having a fun filled day too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Finally it stopped raining.  First you don't get enough rain and everything's drying up-than you get to much of a good thing and your sinking in the mushy mud..... Yuck!!!!
Well it may not be raining at the moment but it sure is cold.  Grammy finally put the heat on to take the dampness away.  Grammy knows it's cold cause we are all in the beds in the blankets or cured up on out heating pads.
Meowmy is home today so she is cleaning her room.  She was cleaning putting her clean clothes away on the shelf and guess what she found! A Tippy!  Yes little Tippy was sleeping all comfy and warm down in the clean clothes.  Meowmy had to move her to finish putting her other clothes away.  Than she turned around and saw 4 others sleeping in her bed.  Yep it's cold to us.
At lunch time Meowmy made Chipped Beef Gravy.  She gave us some too.  Only a few of us liked it.  I was not one of them.  Give me my canned cat food and I'm a happy camper.  
After lunch it was time to play.  Needy Deedy (DC) and I were trying to get in Grammy's closet, but could get it opened today.  So I started to cry and Grammy thought something was wrong or someone was picking on me!  When she saw what I wanted she said haven't I told you enought that you don't belong in the closets!  I can't understand why she says that all the time!  She does!!!!!
Guess I'll go in Meowmys room and help her clean!!!!!
Hope you all have a warm and great day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What's with Grammy putting monsters on my page????  She tries to put stuff on our pages that reflect our pussanalities.  What's she trying to say?????  I not a monster!!!! HONEST!!!!! Well I not!!!!!  I sometimes get things started, but that does not make me a monster! Does it???? 
Hope she's not going to make me a monster costume!  I won't wear it, even if she does! So There!

We have had a really nice day.  It's on the cool side but at least it stopped raining.  Grammy opened one window and the door to the porch. Life is grand.  We got to lay in the sun and boy was it great.  We got to stretch out in the window, on the cat tree and on the cement part of the porch.  It was warm and toasty!!! Grammy had the oven on and we got to stay out a little longer.  She made turkey meatloaf, and scalloped potatoes.  We got to lick the cheese.  When we had our dinner they closed the door and we are inside for the night.  Now Grammy is making brownie with walnuts in them.  She said we can't have any cause it's chocolate and nuts.  I say Nuts to Grammy.  Make a dessert we can have too.  After all Tate's Mommy makes him Cuppycakes.  
I going to go lay down and rest a little, so I can play later.  So you all tomorrow!
Have a great day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hope everyfurry had a fun Talk Like a Pirate Day!  I know I did!
I would like to thank everyfurry for stopping by and leaving such kind comments.

Now on to today!

It's a beautiful day here in Maryland.  We have most of the windows open and the door to the porch.  The porch is small but we all sort of take turns going on it.  I love to lay in the window and soak up all that sun.  The chipmunks are busy running from the mulch pile to the trees to under the cars.  We all love to watch them.  We also have been lucky enough to have a few bugs come in on the porch.  It's like we get a new toy with each bug.  Only problem is you can't put a new battery in them when they stop.  
I want to introduce you to my sisfurs Tomiko (Tommie) and Miyoko (Moo-Moo).  They are real sisfurs and Grammy and Meowmy adopted them before Kibbles and Me.  They are Calico's.  Yes sometimes they do have tuds.  
Moo-Moo is the dominate of the two.  She will actually pull Tommie out of the perch if she wants to lay in it. MOL!  Moo-Moo likes to be loved but when she's had enough she will let you know.  Grammy says she makes a prune face at you.  She sleeps with Grammy at night.  She has her own pillow above Grammys head.
Tommie is more lay back.  She loves to be brush and loved.  She will roll on her back so you can brush her belly.  Tommie love to play and has taken a liken to Fozzy Bear.  We think they are a couple!  Tommy loves to run up and down the hall.  Sometimes I get in trouble for chasing after her. I love my family and since I play with the girls more Grammy left me write about them.
 
Well I must close for now Grammy wants to put some foods together for the family.  I hope that means us cats!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight Grammy almost had the big one!!!!!
Meowmy opened the door to the porch to go inside and Tater Tot flew out the door.  Meowmy, Grammy and Pappy all hollowed at Tater and he ran under their parked car and wouldn't come out.  It took them about 10 minutes to get him out from under the car.  Grammy was worried he would run in the road or in the neighbors yard and he doesn't know that area. Plus it was just starting to get dark.  When Meowmy finally grabbed him by the scruff she told him you are  kenneled and will never ever get to go outside again!!!!!  Than when Grammy came inside she gave Taters a talking to.  We were all in the kitchen area and she started to tell us that if we ever do that we will never ever get to go outside either.  I don't understand it was Tater that did the bad thing not me!  Why did I get a talking toooooo????
After all that excitement we had a late dinner.  Left over TURKEY.  Grammy made HOT TURKEY SANDWICHES WITH GRAVY!  We got left overs.  We even got to lick the gravy bowl clean.  After dinner while Grammy was on the puter and meowmy was cleaning the litter boxes, we heard an awful sound.  Someone in the other room was screaming and growling.  We jumped up to see what was going on.  Don't know for sure but poor Cleo went running and Zeeke and I were right behind her.  So Grammy and Meowmy think Zeeke and I were after her and being BAD!  I told them both they were mistaken!  But Grammy had the nerve to ask me if I also needed a calming collar!  Well now that we have all been talked to and disciplined (HA!HA!) I think we will all take a nap!  Nighty-night!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you read Kibbles diary you than know we had TURKEY and the trimming for dinner.  Well  Our Meowmy just came home and Grammy fixed her plate.  When she was done we got left overs.  We all have some TURKEY with GRAVY, baked potatoes smashed and coated with melted butter.  Yes the dishes are so clean they look like someone washed them!!!!!  We love to do dishes!!!!  For our dinner earlier Grammy gave us our canned Friskies Turkey Pate.  Kibbles & Romeo said the second seating dinner was fabulous!!!!!!  Poor Kibbles ate so much Gravy he couldn't finish his helping second of TURKEY!  MOL!!!  Meowmy says he is smiling from side to side.  Guess we will all sleep good tonight.  You know how it is after Thanksgiving dinner.
Have a great evening.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today started out like any other day at our house.  Get up! Bug Meowmy for our FOOD!  EAT IT!  Go lay down!  But today is Meowmys day off!  She went to the store to get our stuff!  Litter!  FOOD! and may be other stuff!  Ever since she came home we have been into EVERYTHING!
Grammy had to yell at Davidson, he was after Cleopatra.  He made her growl, hiss and spit!  She ran for higher grounds!  MOL!  Than we don't know who it was had 3 or four of us running in the hall crying and yelling!  Grammy said we have to behave!!!!!  Was there a full moon or what?????
Well just to let you know I have been the good one today!!!! I know SURPRISE!!!!SURPRISE!!!!  Grammy even told me so!
I know we won't get to go outside today, it's to hot!  The past few days have been in the 90s again.  Supposed to be like that till Friday.  Than we should get some much needed rain.  Grammy probably won't cut us any catnip either.  We have been to bad today! Except for me!!!!  But she won't give one and not the others.  Something about not being fair!!!! Whatever!!!!
Well I hope you all are having a great day!  Enjoy!

I also Thank all my friends for the comments, pmails, emails and rosettes they have sent to me.  I am a lucky cat to have all this attention.  Grammy opened the window for me this morning and she didn't even know I was a DDP yet.  Can't wait to see how much more attention I get from my family.  I hope I get to go outside again.  I begged last evening, but it wasn't my turn....
Thank you new friends.  It's always nice to make new friends. 
I am just a happy little man today! 
Hope everyfur has a pawsome day today!

Love, Francis]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 1. DO YOU EVER WAKE UP YOUR PARENTS IN THE NIGHT?

No, I rarely get into bed with Grammy & Pappy

2. DO YOU EVER TEAR UP THINGS?

No, The only thing I do is pull my fur out.  Sometimes Grammy says it looks like we have another Franny on the floor.

3. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TREAT?

I like Cheese.  Not just any cheese.  I'm an American Cheese boy!

4. CAN YOU FETCH SOMETHING WHEN YOU ARE ASKED TO DO SO?

No!  I'm to lazy!

5. HAVE YOU EVER LIVED ANY PLACE OTHER THAN WHERE YOU LIVE NOW?

Yes, but we don't know where it was.  I also lived at the York SPCA for a while, before Grammy and Meowmy Adopted me. 

I tag anyone that wants to play.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO PLAY IS COPY THE QUESTIONS IN YOUR DIARY AND PUT YOUR OWN ANSWERS AND THEN CHOOSE FIVE MORE FURS TO PLAY.

Have a great day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last evening I got to take a walk and a stroll around the yard.  It was a beautiful evening, temps just right.  Grammy walked me all around the yard.  We saw the fishes in the pond, lots of butterflies, hop-a-roos (grasshoppers), and bugs.  I could smell the chipmunks, but couldn't find any.  They must have smelled Kibbles and me.  I got to roll around and eat as much cat nip as I wanted.  We have several plants in different areas.  How great!  Nip heaven!  After Kibbles and I played and got our walks, we got to go out front.  Kibbles sat on the front porch, while I took a stroller ride around the front yard.  I looked around for Trouble (she was the neighbors dog last year), But Grammy said Trouble doesn't live there anymore.  She moved.  I kept looking for her.  Than I got out of the stroller and got in the flower bed and tried to find the chippies.  I could smell them, but I couldn't find them........so I went back to the front with Kibbles.  We got to see a few cars and trucks go by but not many.  Than it was time to go in.  I was good, but Kibbles threw a fit. I never saw him throw a fit.  He growled like a dog. 
Have a great day.

Check out my new pictures of me and Kibbles in the nip!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy Day our Zelda (Little LuLu) is finally home.  Everyfurry is so Happy.  They are all dancing around her. Zelda is on a special food for a few days, and she is to be quarantined for a few days so she can rest and they don't eat her food. Other than that she is alright.  The quarantine doesn't seem to be working as Zelda gets more upset without her family.  So she gets some out time.  MOL!
Our family would like to Thank you All for your Purrs, Prayers, words of comfort, zealies and pmails.  We appreciate every one of them.  We love our family of friends.  Thank you all from our hearts.
Have a great day I know we are!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We called the vet to see how Zelda is doing and if she can come home.  She is doing better and no she can't come home yet!  Poor baby all by herself in a strange place.  They said her stomach and bowel areas feel better and they are going to take her off the antibiotic shots and try the pills.  If she keeps the pills down today and tonight they will probably let her come home tomorrow.  Our vet doesn't usually have Sunday hours but he is going to be checking on her and will let us pick her up if everything is ok.  We sure hope she can come home tomorrow.  Everyfurry here misses her.  They don't know what to do, they just keep walking around and are sort of droopy.  Thank you for the Purrs and please continue purring for our Zelda.

They are keeping her overnight and will recheck her in the morning. They think she may pass it and not have to undergo surgery. We are purring for that. 
Our family Thanks you all for your Purrs and Prayers. They are working, please continue.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last evening Grammy and Meowmy had to run Zelda (Little LuLu) to the emergency vets. She was throwing up blood and had blood in her bowel movement. They think she has a blockage of some sort. We did find Sisal pieces in her throw up and told the vets we found one of their sisal's ball toys was pulled apart. So they are leaving that way. Zelda is the smallest of PJ's last litter, so being so small worries everyone. She was very dehydrated and had to have fluids. We had to pick her up this morning and run her to her vets. Our vet is keeping her and may have to operate. We will know more later today. Would you please Purr for Zelda that everything will be ok. Thank you and have a great day. Zeldas ID#925123



Thank you all for the pmails, emails, zealies and comments for my DDP today.  I love you all.  Thanks to the Diary Machine also for choose my diary. Hope you all have a great day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy 4th of July to everyone!  We have had a wonderful day!  For breakfast we had Kibbles favorite TURKEY! Than Grammy and Meowmy went back to the daylily place.  They came back with more flowers....... Than Pappy and Meowmy went away and, We Got a new toy.  It's a ball with feathers on it and it's make a chirping sound when you touch it.  Most of us like it, but I simply love it.  I have played off and on with it all day long.  For dinner we had Fancy Feast Salmon, but the humans had grilled  BBQ shrimp.  Yummy!  We got some of them too.  Now that it's evening and the noise is starting up again Grammy went in the garden and got us all some fresh picked Catnip!!!!!!  Most of us are stoned on nip, so maybe the noise won't bother us a much tonight!!!!!!
I want to Thank Chef Rooster for suggesting a calming collar for Cleopatra.  So Far it is working.  Hope it helps calm her and the others down when they are around her.  Maybe they won't pick on her as much and she won't deposit her liquid gold just anywhere!
Well the fireworks will be starting soon so Grammy is going to sign me off.  Have a great evening!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Our Family would like to wish everyone a Safe and Happy July 4th Weekend!  Enjoy! 

The Fireworks have already started.  We saw some last night from our house.  Gettysburg, PA is having a Civil Was Reenactment and they had fireworks last night.  The skies were so clear!  Hope they continue staying clear, we can sit in our front yard and enjoy fireworks from many towns all along the mountains. It's great-no worry about parking!
Well I'm going back to my bed and take an afternoon cat-nap.
Enjoy your day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are lucky babies today.  Our Grammy had left over Salmon Fillets and we all got one.  Boy was it good.  We even had our regular Friskies Chicken and Gravy.  This was a great treat.  I love Grammy. 
 
After dinner we heard this noisy!  Somehow Tater Tot fell behind Grammys cupboard in the living room.  Best we can figure out is someone chased him and he got on top and fell.  He's not hurt. The cupboard is cornered and Pappy had to move the cupboard so Tater could get out.  He was so embarrassed!  Now that the excitement is over, I am going to lay down and rest my belly like the rest of group is.  This is the quitest we have been in a while.  Salmon must agree with us.  Have a wonderful day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been a beautiful day here in Maryland.  The temps are just right.  Meowmy didn't have to go to work again today, so she was in the flower gardens most of the day.  Zeeke, Tater Tot, Harley and Cleopatra got to go outside in the cat enclosure.  Grammy promised she would take more of us out this evening.  Well after our dinner PJ and I got to go out.  Kibbles was ask, but he wouldn't come to get his harness on so it was just me and PJ.  Grammy took me for my stroller ride.  I was such a good boy.  I sat up real pretty and look all over the yard, looked for the neighbor children and just was a wonderful little man.  Grammy told me how good I was and how proud she was of me.  We went in the backyard and I rode all over the yard.  Than I saw PJ (Miss P) walking so I told Grammy I wanted to walk too.  I walked for a bit and than I wanted to go in the cat enclosure.  I was playing with the grass and climbing the cat tree in there.  Meowmy put PJ in with me and we both enjoyed it.  Our neighbor came to the fence and was talking to Grammy and us.  She thinks we are beautiful.  She has 2 cats, but they are inside only.  Well I was doing what I do best, by looking good and taking in all the great compliments.  Than Meowmy opened the gate to the enclosure and out I went........ Grammy said my leash was still on so try to grab it.  Well Meowmy and pappy got me, I was over by the pine tree.  I'm smart I saw the birdies go in there!  Meowmy put me back in the cat enclosure.  Later she came back to take me inside.  Guess What I did.......I got out and took off running.  I got further this time, but I went right for those pine trees and the birdies.  So now I have to go inside and I might have lost my privileges to go outside again.........

I will try to be good and earn my privileges back!!!!MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Kibbles and I went to Vets today for our yearly check-up.  Grammy went to put me in the carrier, but Tater Tot was trying to get in.  She had to tell him no, so I could get in.  I don't mind the carrier.  She put me in the car and I immediately started to sing!  I don't care for car rides.  It's only about 15 mins to our vets office, but it feels longer when you have a singing cat.  Grammy or Meowmy have to talk to me the whole time.  They were trying to ignore me one time and I left out a Loud Meow! for attention!  Once the car stops I am ok.  I love our vets and the attention we get.  They love me!  No, they really do!  They talk to me, pet me, give me a hug or two, talk sweet talk to me.  I know Kibbles thinks he's their favorite, but I know better!  I got a good report, I weigh 8 lbs, teeth look good, got 2 shots, temp took (YUK!).  I was going to go first, but Kibbles jumped right on the table and said he was going first.  MOL!  Kibbles usually isn't this bold.  I think he was showing off.  On the Way home we went to McDonalds, Grammy got a Happy Meal so we could have the toy.  When she opened the bag, she knew we were not going to get the toy.  It was R2D2 from Star Wars.  She knew Meowmy would keep it!  Meowmy has a Star Wars Collection.  She still has all her Star Wars stuff from when she was a child and it first came out.  So we got nothing!!!!!!!  
When we got home all the furries were glad to see us, they sniffed us and said lets go play.
Hope you all have a great day!

I am sending Concats to my Brother Kibbles for being a Daily Diary Pick today!  He is celebrating with our good friends, Calvin, Zack, Jingles, and Pfeffer.  What a great way to celebrate a DDP.  I wish the other DDP a Great day and send my Concats.  Hope you check each one out today.

                                                  **************************

Yesterday was a wonderful day here.  The temp went up to 65 and we got to have 2 windows open and go on the porch.  The snow is slowly melting and we can see more and more green grass.  The birdies were out and the squirrels.  We watched those silly squirrels get their peanuts out of the peanut box.  The one squirrel would go up and get a nut, run down the tree go away, come back and do it over again.  Usually they have one or two squirrels get the peanuts and throw them on the ground  for the others.  Now today I don't think we will get to have the windows open or go on the porch.  It's a gloomy, cloudy day.  We are having some rain off and on.  Suppose to be that way all day.  We have been running up and down the hall playing.  But I getting tired and going to take a break.  Things are getting quite for now!  Later Kibbles and I are going to Vets for our Yearly Checkup and shots.  We don't mind going to the vets, cause the ladies all love us.  They even have our pictures in an album.  Our entire family is in this album.  Zelda is even on their web page.  Our Vet is the bestest!  
I hope everyfurry has a great day, be safe, be loved.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is my 4th Birthday!  Grammy started the day off with Happy Birthday Franny.  I was so excited.  She said it's going to be a great day!  That means she will give me extra rubs, some brushings, and extra attention.  Right now I am just laying around resting with my siblings.  The sun is shinning and today is supposed to be a warm day.  We might even get on the porch.  I hope!  
I wonder what Grammy is making us for our special dinner tonight.  Last night Kibbles and I got some of their dinner Tilapia fish and broccoli.  Yummy!

I would like to Thank all who have emailed, emailed, and given me gifties.  I appreciate them all.  You are all like brofurs and sisfurs and I love that.  Wish you all could come play with me.  I am the active one.  I love everyone and love to play, play, play.

I am sharing a birthday with my older brother Kibbles today.  So a Big Happy Birthday Kibbles.

My birthday wish is like Kibbles.  I wish all furries would have a safe and happy 4 ever home.  

You all take care and have a wonderful day!  I sure am going too!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Monday, March 8 I will turn 4 years old.  Where has the time gone?  Grammy said I may be turning 4, but I have what she's call the Peter Pan Syndrome!!!!  (What ever that means)  OK Francis, it means you don't want to grow up!  You still act like a little kitten.  You are always running around, getting into things (your not suppose to) and picking on the girls.  But I love just the way you are.  You are our little clown and we wouldn't change a thing about you.  So no Clowning around Happy Birthday!  

P.S.  Kibbles also has a Birthday on Monday March 8, he is older.  He will be 6.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ To much SNOW!  This White Stuff is getting boring.  Yes it is beautiful to look at, but enough is enough.  They say this is the storm of the century, well I'm not interested in making this kind of history.  Maryland has set a new record for snow fall and it's still coming down.  The poor birdies are hungry and the snow is almost as high as some of the feeders.  We ran out of bird seed yesterday, but we do still have suit for those feeders.  There are no cars on the road, no people, no nothing.  It's like the twilight zone.  SNOW, SNOW, GO AWAY.  
We hope everyone has a warm, safe day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Good Morning Everyone!  Today is just another day of watching birdies and having fun playing.  Well almost.  Grammy, Pappy and Meowmy are all home today.  No one is going anywhere.  Can't figure out why!  Oh I justed looked outside !  White stuff all over the place.  Lots of it, in fact over 22 inches so far.  The snow is still coming down heavy.  Wait I hear a noise, sounds funny.  No not a snowmobile, not a 4 wheeler, what is it.  Oh no!  it's huge!  Pappy said they got the heavy equipment out.  It's a big front end loader.  They plowed one lane.  Hope they come back and do another.  Don't know why I said that, we still have a lot of snow in the driveway.  What a mess!  Snow! Snow! Go Away!  Don't come back!  We've had enough.  Where is SPRING anyway?????  Have a Warm, Safe, Great Day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a wonderful weekend Kibbles and I had.  We went on a Catibbean Cruise given by our friends Guido & Yolo.  Than I was a Tuber in the Yappy Hour Tube Olympics 2010.  I won Second Place and received a Trophy in the the Tandem Downhill Tube Races 2010.  Miss Molly was my team mate.  Than I won 2nd place and a Trophy in the Guys Only Downhill Tube Race 2010.  I participated in the Blindfold Obstacle Race.  Boy that was like bumper cars.  Bing, Bang. Ouch, and Finish. Yes, I would say we were very lucky to have such a fun filled weekend.  I had lots of fun, made lots of new friends and even brought home (2) trophies.  Grammy is making a special place just for our stuff.  She is always proud of us, but today is brimming with smiles.  Let's see what tomorrow brings.]]></content:encoded>

I also want to Thank everyone that has sent me gifties, pmails and comments, and New friendships.  I am just plain Honored.  I had a wonderful time Partying with my family.  We all stayed home and had Snow Crab legs and Steamed Shrimp.  I love Shrimp.  Grammy peeled them for us and we all got what we wanted.  We played laser light and watched movies.  We got to choose the movies and we all picked the birdie show and the mouse show.  What fun we had.  Pappy had cheese cubes  and gave us some.  The neighbors set of fireworks and boomers.  We didn't even mind them.  It was hazy but we still looked for our brofur Yoda and little niece Tigger.  We know somewhere their stars were shinning bright for all to see.  I hope you all have a Wonderful Day and Thank you]]></content:encoded>

The regular dot, a Christmas Tree, Snowflake, Snowman, and a bell Image.  Boy is it great fun.  Up and down the hall, in the dinning room Meowmy made me dizzy, but I didn't care.  We played for half hour or more.  We were pooped ut pussy cats.  My brofur Tater Tots got a new Elf outfit with hat with ears and he liked it.  He wore it for about 20 minutes and Grammy said Tater we have to take this off.  The girls got a few new dresses.  And some of us got new hats, and ears and neckwear.  We did good.  Now we are all resting and getting ready for bed.  Kibbles is still in and out of his house tent.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a Winter Wonder Land here today.  It was still early morning and dark when Grammy got up, but you could see the snow.  It's that much.  It was all over the ground, the trees, the sky and everywhere.  We already have 6 inch and it's not even daybreak.  We are suppose to get 1-3 feet of this white stuff before it's over tomorrow.  It doesn't look like the road crews have been back our road yet.  Someone did venture out as their is one set of tracks on the road.  It does look like a wonderland.  The snow is coming down heavy at this time, but the news says the worst of it will come later today.  Grammy filled the bird feeders and put extra suet feeders out yesterday.  Today there are lots of birdies at the feeders.  Guess they are really hungry, cause the berries and stuff they could get to are all covered with snow.  We have corn and peanuts out for the squirrels, but we haven't seen them yet.  Grammy will post pictures of our snow later.  Hope you all have a Beautiful Day, Stay Safe and Warm.  Got to go Grammy is getting ready to make breakfast.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh My Santa Claws Came to our House today.  Santa Claws was driving a big brown truck and he had lots of boxes.  We got 3 boxes and 1 package from him today.  We were all so excited.  Grammy and Meowmy were getting ready to go out for awhile so we couldn't open anything till they came home.  Boy waiting is hard to do.  When they came home one of us had taken one of our quilts and put it in front of the stove.  Grammy & Meowmy figured it was Onxy.  She is always moving things.  When they came in they had bags of stuff, but said nothing was for us.  That took some nerve.  They didn't bring us anything.  

Meowmy said we could open the big box that Santa Claws brought for us.  We love big boxes.  We were just happy getting a box to lay on.  Well we opened the box and Meowmy put it together for us.  We got a new Litter Robot.  This one is a tan one.  We love our other robots, but this is a new one so we are excited.  Moo-Moo was first to try it out.  Than the rest of us had to check it out.  Now Meowmy got the lazer light out and is playing with us.  I got to go cause I love the Lazer light.  

Have a Great Day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh how beautiful it is.  We have been watching the snow since early this morning.  We have about 5  inches on the ground now and it's still snowing hard.  The snow plows have been back our road once already.  Grammy took some pictures of the snow on the bushes and trees.  It is beautiful.  I looks like a Christmas Card.  I'm glad we aren't outside in it cause it's cold.  Hope all the cats and dogs that are outside find a nice warm spot to go to.  Pappy took corn out for the squirrels and food out for the birdies.  They are up and down at the bird feeders.  Some of them are fighting on the ground for where others have pushes it off the feeders.  We seen our Woodpecker today also.  He was on the suet feeder.  Hanging upside down.  He's funny to watch.  We are all taking a nap now cause we are tired of watching the snow.  Hope you all have a Safe and Wonderful Day.]]></content:encoded>

She said I could sit and watch the few birdies that were out.  It got into the 60's today but it didn't feel like it.  It's damp, and windy.  They say we may get our first snow Saturday.  Well here comes Grammy, guess she needs to close the window now.
Have a Great Day!]]></content:encoded>

Usually the door is closed and were are all inside playing and waiting for dinner.  Not tonight.  Most of us are still on the porch enjoying the time we have left.  Today we put peanuts in the squirrel box and the bird feeders have food in them.  Tomorrow is suppose to be another nice day.  We should have lots of company in the backyard.  We still have a few bugs left and one is on the porch.  This is great!   Grammys dinner is smelling great and I think I better go check on it.  We're having RIBS and Sweet Potato Fries.  I gona get in line now.  Bye!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meowmy and Grammy were eating lunch and all of a sudden birdies
Oh boy! The Birdies are back.  I got the window all to myself too.  There are 5 blue birds and they are looking at each bird house checking things out.  Sure do hope they pick one and stay.  We have a Woodpecker today also, he stays all winter, but we haven't seen him to much this year until now.  He is beautiful with  black and white speckeled feathers with a real bright red head.  He loves the old tree.  Pappy was going to cut it down and grammy ask him to leave the trunk and a few y-branches.  She has the squirrel feeders on it.  But the woodpecker loves the trunk and all the fungus and bugs on it.  There are also Juncos, and chickadees.  Oh my I just can't sit still, so excited.  I wish Isabelle was here to see the birdies.  She would love this.  Gota go don't want to miss a thing.  Hope everyone has a beautiful day.  Enjoy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I would like to Thank everyfurry that came to my Halloween Party Yesterday.  We had so much fun.  We each picked a pumkin, played games, told ghost stories, went on hay rides and carriage rides, visited a real haunted mansion and ate weird foods.  Best of all we got to see each other again.  Friends are so important and I'm glad I have so many.  Thanks again.

Boy that was scarey!  In the Haunted Mansion we saw a lot of scarey things.  Grammy took pictures and they are posted on my pages.  We were all so happy to see each other and have fun all day, but now it's time to say good-bye.  Before you go make sure you each stop by the Trick or Treat Grammy fixed for you.  Hope you all enjoyed your day and evening.  Talk to you all tomorrow.  Sleep tight!]]></content:encoded>

Some worn their costumes and others came as themselves.  Doesn't really matter we are going to PARTY!  We will be leaving around 10:30 for our hay ride to the Pumpkin Patch.  We are going to have fun it's a big field full of pumpkins.  We can pick out the one we each want and can play in the field at the same time.  They even have a playground with fun stuff to climb on and cutouts so we can have our pictures taken.  Grammy made sure there are new batteries in the camera and it's ready to go.  It's a bit chilly here and rainy but it's supposed to clear up.  Oh! here comes Tanis and his family.  Go to go I want to see all my friends.  Be back later today with more.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today started out cool.  Only in the 40's so we were all chilly.  The bugs must have been cold also.  We found a flying bug that didn't fly anymore and was barely crawling.  But it moved so we were excited.  Onxy was the first one to go after it.  She put it in her mouth and immediately spit it out!  So I figured it was mine, so I grabbed it and was going to eat it.  WRONG!!!!! Ispit that thing out and made a terrible face.  I was spitting stuff all over the floor.  Meowmy had to wipe up the spit.  Grammy And Meowmy got to laughing.  It was a stink bug.  Boy are those things nasty.  Has any furry ever ate one of those things?  Needless to say no one in the house wanted that bug.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Only 7 more days and it's my Halloween Party.  Grammy is getting everything together so we all have a great time.  We will be going on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch, where we will all be able to pick our own pumpkins.  Play in the pumpkin fields and just have a pawsome time.  Than we go back home for fun and games.  Like bobbing for apples, eating spooktacular foods, and telling ghost stories.  Later in the evening Grammy has rented a real haunted mansion for us. Just us.  We are going by carriage and hay rides.  Who knows what in store for us at THE HAUNTED MANSION.  I hope her and Meowey get the rest of our pictures in our costume done.  They are suppose to do that today.  I don't know for sure what I am going to be.  They won't tell me.  I know Tater is a cowboy and Romeo is a Pharoah.  (but that's part of his name Pharoah Romeo the Great).  I Can't wait to see what costumes every furry is coming in.  Oh boy I just can't wait.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh it's a beautiful day here in Maryland.  We could only have 2 windows open, cause there is a  a big of a breeze coming from the mountains.  When we look out our windows it's so clear you can see the mountains.  They are beautiful.  The sun is out and shining down on them, we should have a pretty sunset again tonight.  Big news is while we were on the porch a hop- a - rue (crickets and grasshoppers) crawled under the door and thought he found a new home.  Guess what?  We were all crouded together looking at him and enjoying watching him, when all of sudden Dave grabbed him and took off with it.  Well several of us took off after Dave and the hop-a-rue.  We got it back and it was still hopping.  So we played in the hall way with it.  Grammy asked us if we were having fun and of course we said yes.  Than that Zelda took the hopper and left with it.  After that it didn't work anymore.  So we just looked at it and each other and Zelda ate it.  Right in front of us.  Now we have to find another one, if we have time.  Grammy said it's starting to cool off and she is closing the windows, she will let us on the porch awhile longer.  The other night she left us out on the porch and pappy closed the door to go in the basement and forgot us.  Cleopatra, Tater Tot and Dave were out their all night.  Boy was Grammy and Meowy mad at pappy.  So Grammy said she will bring us in earlier.  Now they count us to make sure we are all in the house.  Hope you all have a Wonderful Day.]]></content:encoded>

Aye!Aye! Land.  But not alone… another Priate Ship.  It’s Captain Zeeke Bent Tail.  He’s mean.  He must have the other part of the map!!!!!
Round up the crew and have the cockswain row me to shore.  Upon landing on shore Captain Francis The Fealess Fire Tail lead his crew to a cave where he think the treasure be.  Shriver me timbers THE TREASURE!  The crew of Fearless Franny Found after all these years.  The crew takes the treasure back to ship.  They are enjoying all the Silver and Gold and Pearls.  What a Treasure.  But in the mist of the sea is Captain Zeeke Bend Tail.  Is the Treasure Safe or?????????

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are running around like we're crazy here.  We are having company for dinner.  Some of our friends are flying in to see us.  Isabelle, Jazzy, Pumkin Pooh are going to see their friends in Ohio, and Oklahoma and are stopping here in Maryland before heading home to NY.  We are getting things really for our visitors.  Grammy is having grilled pork chops, broccoli, potatoes and cold cantaloupe.  She's making some special ice tea for Isabelle to help her keep her strength up for flying!!!!!!  We can't wait! Everyone is so excited even the little ones are helping Grammy.  They are putting all their toys in one corner  of the room.  Zeeke has cleaned his Tux and is making sure the others are clean and smell good.  This will be like a Catster Family Reunion.   Kibbles throught when we have completed our dinner he will show Isabelle all the pretty butterflies we have in our backyard.  We have all colors.  They expecially love our white butterfly bushes.  We have purple, yellow and pink butterfly brushes, but they seem to like the white ones best.  Well must go and help with the big event.  I have to make sure the landing strip is clear for Isabelle.  Hope everyone in Catster Land has a wonderful day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Concats to my niece Zelda for being the main DDP today.  She was so excited.  We had a double your pleasure in our house today.  My brother Romeo is also a DDP Today.  Concats to both of them.

We got new stuff today.  We got the Turbo Track, and we love it.  We just have to wait our turn to play, cause the little ones get pushy with you.  We also got lots and lots of food.  I love to help Meowy put it away.  That way I know if she got enough.

Well I'm getting sleepy from all the excitment so I'm going to take my afternoon nap.  See ya later.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I didn't want to ride in the stroller today, so I got to take a walk.  Grammy took me all around the back yard.  I went to see the goldfish in the pond. (didn't like that today I was afraid of the waterfall)  Grammy took the brush and comb outside and brushed me.  She said it looked like we adopted another kitty, there was so much hair on the ground.  In the cat enclosure  I got to eat the catnip and play with Onyx, Zeeke, and Tommie we had fun.  I was laying in the catnip planter and Zeeke couldn't get any, so he bopped me.  I didn't like that, so I went to the other side and pouted.  All in all I had a good day and lots of fun.  I hope all of you had a good day too.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got my stroller ride around the yard and branched out around the driveway.  How exciting to go place where I've never been before.  Grammy took me all around the yard and back to the cat enclosure.  She left me in the enclosure by myself, while she hung clothes on the clothesline.  I have never been in the enclosure alone.  Usually she will bring a playmate with me.  I did ok I watched what she was doing and I rolled in the catnip and dug in the catnip.  I scratched on the log and I waited for Grammy to come back to me.  Than we took another walk around the yard and down the driveway.  I've never been there.  So much to look at.  All new things to see, to smell.  Wow!   It hard to go back inside but I was ready.  Getting in the door is a treat, everyone else wants out and they stand in your way.  They sniff all over you and try to rub against you.  Grammy said it's cause I smell like catnip and they want some!   I was in about 30 minutes when Grammy heard hissing.........running..........hissing............meows.......meows.............. She came running.  You know I'm a instigator!!!!!  Zeeke and Kahaless were in the hallway together and I started something.......so Zeeke was hissing...........and growling at Kahaless.............and Kahaless was crying..........and hissing.............So Grammy got into it and told us to behave.  She always says " If Your NOT GOOD You can't go outside anymore."  So we all gave her SAD PUSSYCAT faces and went about our merry ways.  Hope I can be good the rest of the day.  We will See!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm telling you, these nieces of mine, are down right bad.  Grammy was making Pappy and herself a sandwich for lunch.  She put the lunch meats back in the refrigerator turned around to put the top pieces of bread on and couldn't find the piece for pappy's sandwich.  She thought to herself I'm sure I put mayo on 4 pieces of bread.  Where! Where is it.  She looked around and said to pappy did someone steal a piece of bread?  Pappy looked for the girls first and on the floor.  He told Grammy, no there's no bread on the floor. So she said I must have only done 3.  Well they found the bread, one of those girls (Toes) had put it in the water fountain.  What a mess in the fountain.  Nothing like Mayo and soggy bread water.  It's been a weekend around here with our nieces and nephew.  Was there a full moon?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a needy baby today.  Grammy got up early and I just wanted her to love me.  I keep rubbing up against her legs and meow.  Now, I know my Grammy loves me, but some days I just get needy.  I wish she would get off the computer and hold me more. 
I guess I will have to go play with those little ones.  They are running up an down the hallway and in and out of rooms.  I must check this out.  
Have a Great Day!]]></content:encoded>

She's going to do Pineapple on the grill also.  It's great!  I think she's taking me outside again today.  I hope!  I have been kind of good.  Right now I'm getting ready to taking my morning nap.  I am tired, cause I have been running up and down the hall with those little ones.  I just love them.  They like to play all the time and so do I.  We had a treat for breakfast today, Whitefish.  We all cleaned our bowls and checked and made sure no one had left overs.  Today is starting out great.  Hope every furry has a wonderful day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is a beautiful day in Maryland.  We got the windows opened and are on the porch.  There's a nice breeze and we are all enjoying it.  No fog, or rain yet today.  I hope we don't have any, we are all  tired of it.  I hope I get to go outside for a stroll or a walk today.  Kibbles and I have been waiting for our turns and I know this should be the day.  Yesterday, Grammy took Onyx out to the enclosure.  I was so upset I sat in the window and meowed.  Grammy promised my turn was coming up.  When Onyx came back in she smelled of catnip!!!!  Meowy and Grammy planted catnip in the planter box in the enclosure.  Onyx also told us the butterflies are out and flying around.  This is her first year to see butterflies.  Butterflies are  like a new toy that doesn't run out of batteries.  Well I'm keeping my toe crossed, Grammy will soon be done on the computer and I, I think, Maybe, It's my turn.  Oh Boy!!!!!!  Bye!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Grammy was up early, early today and we are in a playful mood.  The birdies are just coming out and they are hungry.  They are eating their bird food and getting worms.  The chipmunks are out running around also.  Have'nt seen the rabbit yet.  It's as big a Zeke and he weights 20lbs.  PJ's young ones are up and ready to roll, so that's what we're doing.  When Meowy finally got up, she said everyone out of her way or I'll move you.  Grammy told her, she would have to move their little condo first.  They had moved it down the hallway.  They have been making noises and messes all morning.  They have toys all over the place.  Wish you all could see the mess this 5 little monsters can make.  What one doesn't think of, the other does.  Myself, I just love to play.  Meowy put the birdie video on for us and we are watching it off and on.  Boy are we all wound up!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's a rainly day here in Maryland.  It's also on the cool side.  We don't have a much to do today.  The birdies are singing loudly, but not showing themselves much.  We are basicly laying around.  Grammy is cleaning and has that noisy thing that sucks up everything.  I had just gotten up into the window and she came in the room I was in and said Fanny I'm going to vacumn.  I took one look at her and a big jump over the noisy thing and said SEE YA!  Guess the next thing she'll do is wash the floor and when we walk all over it, she'll get upset.  I don't know why we have to walk on a wet floor, but we all do.  Grammy says she should just paint the floor with all our little footprints.  I think that would be cool!  Hope everyone has a Great Day!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today started out great!  I was busy playing and enjoying myself . I started following Cleo around.  Everywhere she went I followed.  Than I got to chasing her and just touching her with my paw.  She hates it.  She runs and hides or just go off somewhere.  Well after awhile I left her along and it was time for me to rest.  Grammy was loving on each of us and it was my turn.  We were sitting at the dinning table and She gave me kisses, and rubs, and told me how  beautiful her Fancy Pants is.  Cleo was on the hutch eating some dry food and all of a sudden she wrapped me, while Grammy was still holding me.   Well I swatted her back and Grammy thought I started it.  Thankfully, Meowy saw it and told Grammy Cleo came from behind, looked over Grammys shoulder and took the first swat.  I told Grammy I was INNOCENT!!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Today Grammy is cleaning everything in sight.  All our stuff is outside on the clotheslines, on the patio, in the yard.  She's Crazy.  Now we are going to have to work overtime putting our scents back on everything.  The nice thing about it, is she left us on the porch around 6 o'clock in the morning.  What a TREAT!  It's getting hot, so most of us are just laying around, doing nothing.  In the evening some of us are going outside for walks and others are going in the cat enclosure.  Can't wait till Meowy comes home from work.  Grammy might take me in the stroller.  I hope, I hope!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello Everyone and Happy Cinco De Mayo.

Grammy finally found her slipper.  Grammys slipper has been missing for a few days.  She always keeps them together in the same place.  Somehow, (no one knows) one slipper was missing.  Grammy looked under the bed, under the lounge chair, behind the chair, and in the closet.  No slipper.  Pappy was on the floor looking for something he dropped and Grammy asked him to look under the chest of drawers to see if the babies took her slipper under there.  GUESS WHAT!  There was Grammys slipper, along with six balls, a paper towel roll, and a cat nip toy.  Grammy can't figure out which of the little ones took her slipper, cause we are to big to get in that little space.  HONEST WE ARE!!!!  Got to go it almost lunchtime.  Hope everyone has a great day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We are missing our Tigger's, but know she is in a better place. We would like to Thank All of you for your purrs, prayers, emails, pawmails, and gifts. They are all treasured and we know they come from your hearts. It's great to have so many furiends and friends.

Today is a little better day.
Earlier this morning the babies were running up and down the hallway. Just being silly, and chasing each other. Breakfast was like always. The babies rush to eat theirs and than think they can go steal the others food. We have a rule at feeding time. If someone leaves their food dish than anyone can have what's left. The babies, like to change this rule by, taking their paws and pulling the bowl out away from who's eating. When they get caught, however they are warned and told if they do it again they go to jail. Sometimes they listen and somtimes they don't and must go to jail.

It's a much cooler day and the clouds are hiding all the sun. We have had some rain and may have more later today. Most of us are just laying around for our morning naptime. Hope the sun comes out and we can open the windows and the doors. We want to go on the porch.

We hope everyone is having a great day. Stay healthy and safe.

HAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR LOVED ONES TODAY?]]></content:encoded>

April 28th 2009 6:48 am   [link to this entry] 
We have some very sad news to report to our friends today. Tigger went to Rainbow Bridge today. She was such a GREAT LITTLE GIRL. She fought a hard battle and looked to winning until today. Early this morning she could not walk and was spitting up fluid. We knew this was it. We called the vet. and they helped her cross over. However before we went Grammy took her for one last stroller ride, which she seemed to enjoy. Even thought there our 18 cats in the house, it's so quite. We will miss Tigger, but will never forget all our good times. Rest Peacefully Our Little Angel Tigger. We Love You. If you would like to send condolences to her, this is her ID#828689.


We love you Tigger, 
Uncle Kibbles, Uncle Francis, Uncle Yoda, Uncle Zeeke, Auntie Cleo, Uncle, Tator Tot, Uncle Kahlass, Auntie Moo-Moo, Auntie Tommie, Uncle Harley ( her adopted mommy), Uncle Davy doodles, Uncle Roemo ( her eating partner), her real mommy PJ, brothers Fozzy Bear, DC, sissy's Onyx, Toe, Mishka, Zelda.
Her Momcat, Grammy, and Dadcat]]></content:encoded>

THERE IS STILL A VERY SLIM CHANGE SHE A SOMETHING THAT IS FIXABLE. WE ARE WAITING FOR ONE MORE TEST RESULT TO COME IN.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IT IS HERE IN MARYLAND.  THE TEMP. IS 65 DEGREES AND THE SUN IS OUT.  GRAMMY IS GREAT! SHE OPENED THE WINDOWS AND THE DOOR, SO WE COULD GO ON THE PORCH.  WE LOVE IT.  IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE WERE ABLE TO LAY IN THE WINDOWS AND GO ON THE PORCH.  EVERYTHING LOOKED NEW, WE HAD TO SMELL IT ALL.  OUR CORNER PERCH WAS STILL THERE, BUT THE LITTLE ONES HAD NEVER SEEN IT, SO THEY GRABBED THE BOTTOM SPACE.  I WAS IN THE WINDOW ON THE PORCH, TATOR TOT WAS IN THE SACK ON THE PERCH, CLEO WAS IN THE OTHER WINDOW.  GRAMMY PUT A FEW BASKETS ON THE PORCH SO WE COULD LAY IN THEM.  SOME OF THE OTHER CATS WERE LAYING IN THE DOOR WAY.  THE PORCH WAS FILLING UP WITH CATS AND KITTENS.  WE ALL (19 TOTAL) WANTED A CHANCE TO GET SOME FRESH AIR AND SEE OUT.HOPEFULLY TOMORROW WE CAN GO BACK ON THE PORCH.  WE LOVE IT SO.  LOVE, FRANCIS]]></content:encoded>
