		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ October's Party 
By: George Cooper

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds cameâ€”
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best;
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.

Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly "hands around."]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Nothing new happening my way.  I am doing GREAT!!  I still have a shadow named Star that wants to follow me around, especially when I want to eat, she is right beside me, clinging to me as I eat.  Mom tells her to let me eat (it takes food to keep this magnificent form) because when she starts putting her face right next to mine, into the same bowl that I am eating from, I quit and walk away.  But mom also says that Star is like a diet plan.  Who said I needed one of those?

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer weather.  I enjoy going outside and rolling in the gravels.  That is my secret for shiny fur!! MOL  Although I do not appreciate Mom brushing me afterwards, but I do shine!

Take care all and be safe.

Love,
Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am to tell 5 peeves about my humans.  Only 5?  Wow this is going to pick only 5. Well here we go:

1.  Mom wanting to changing the covers on the back of the loveseat or sofa when I am sleeping there!!

2.  Catlax!!  Mom sneaks up on me while I am sleeping!

3.  Just as I am comfortable and sleeping on mom, that is when another human calls her on the phone!! Humans can be so rude.

4.  Not enough chicken treats!!  Not store bought, but the chicken from mom's plate.

5.  Mom wants to share her time with the little two legged baby.
I want her home more with us.

Now I am off to tag 5 friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <b>My Christmas Wish For You</b>

My Christmas wish for you, my friend
Is not a simple one
For I wish you hope and joy and peace
Days filled with warmth and sun

I wish you love and friendship too
Throughout the coming year
Lots of laughter and happiness
To fill your world with cheer

May you count your blessings, one by one
And when totaled by the lot
May you find all you've been given
To be more than what you sought

May your journeys be short, your burdens light
May your spirit never grow old
May all your clouds have silver linings
And your rainbows pots of gold

I wish this all and so much more
May all your dreams come true
May you have a Merry Christmas friend
And a happy New Year, too ..

Love,
The Bush Furs and Mom Mary]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We want to wish all of our Dear Friends a Very Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Delights
On Thanksgiving Day weâ€™re thankful for
Our blessings all year through,
For family we dearly love,
For good friends, old and new.
For sun to light and warm our days,
For stars that glow at night,
For trees of green and skies of blue,
And puffy clouds of white.
Weâ€™re grateful for our eyes that see
The beauty all around,
For arms to hug, and legs to walk,
And ears to hear each sound.
The list of all weâ€™re grateful for
Would fill a great big book;
Our thankful hearts find new delights
Everywhere we look!

Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday (August 11th) was my Gotcha Day.  My momma Alley Mae brought my sister Scaredy and I to live at Mom's.  You would think number 5 would mean a big party, right?  We did have tuna for a treat and kitty treats but we also were taken to the vet for our yearly 
check-up.  We were given our vaccinations and all checked out okay. 
 
We sang for mom as we were on our way to the vet.  Scaredy has a low Bass sound and I am more of a Soprano.  We sang yowls as we went.  Boss went with us, to have a knot on his belly checked.  It was new and the vet feels it is only a fat pad (which mom felt it was too, but she wanted to be certain).  He would join in, now and then, with a Meow.  Mom said we had a rhythm going at times.

When mom opened my carrier, I stepped out ready to met the doc.  He said I was sweet.  I purred for him too.  Even though he was okay, it still was not what I would have planned for my special day.  

The day turned out better, mom's daughter Mary Beth, my first mommy, came out to visit. I love sitting on her and being petted.  We enjoyed time together (for me that is the best part of her visiting).
  
We had many friends who wished us a Happy Gotcha Day, that was so nice of them.  It made me feel special to have so many wishes.  The cake Mouse made for me was lovely, mice & cheese, the best!!

Love,
Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a new habit that some have already written about.  I wake mommie up for her to add to my food or to let me out, Just like she does Oreo.  I scratch her back, side or arm and she gets up and does my bidding.  Her mom told her that I need to be seen by the Dog Whisperer (mommie did point out that I am a cat-but grandma was trying to get a point across) and that I needed to unlearn this habit.  She says that mommie needs to become the boss and not us.  I don't think I want mommie talking with grandma too much, she just might get some ideas.  Like closing her bedroom door--but as long as Oreo has to eat his "special" food, she won't do that.  She would have to put all food up everynight, because he will eat from another bowl if he doesn't get his food.  

I've been staking the building out every night for a while now.  There are mice in that there building and I am getting mine.  The only problem is that I have been vomiting off and on.  Mommie thinks that maybe I am eating them and then gorging to get rid of the excess, but only the food I gorge is coming back up.  Tonight I am inside and just resting.  Maybe I should lay off the mice for a while, too much of a good thing isn't always good.

Love,
Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love to sit with Mommie when she is reading.  As soon as she opens a book, the newspaper  or a magazine, I like to jump up in her lap and lay right across whatever she is reading.  She always tells me I need to move over a bit, so she can see what she is reading.  She is trying to read the Bible through this year and while she is doing it, she reads out loud for us.  Some of the others will come and lay by mommie while she is reading.  I am usually on her lap (after she moves me off the Bible).  She always liked to read to her grandkids, but she doesn't see them much now, so she enjoys reading to us now.  I really like to think that I am the most intelligent cat here because I like the reading the most.  xoxoxo :) Bow Tye

We have friends who need homes, within 100 miles of  the Los Angeles area, Tidbit (Adopt Me); Dillon (Adopt Me) and Chili (Adopt Me), please remember them in prayers.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just cannot figure it out.  Someone coughs up a hairball and here comes mommie with that cat lax.  I DO NOT LIKE IT.  I let her know that every single time, yet I still end up having to eat it even tho I have not had a hairball myself.  She said something about us black cats shedding more than usual right now, so we are going to get the stuff more often.  I'll just make sure I hit mommie's ribs really good the next time I jump on her, then off her.  That should teach her!!!!  :) Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I enjoy taking naps.  I especially like to take them near someone (my human family, not really my feline family-but sometimes its okay if one wants to lay with me).  I am the queen of my house and some do understand this, others do not.  Star is one who will follow me to the chow dish and then try to stand where I am standing, she wants to be super close and I just want to eat.  Lulu or Bear will sleep near me on the back of the loveseat and that is okay, as long as they don't touch me.  Then I go somewhere else.

I especially like sleeping on mommie's lap.  Even when she is doing her morning reading, I just lay down and get comfy, but she will usually rearrange me, because I like to stretch across her Bible and she cannot read with me on it.  So she moves me a little and I just stay.  
 
I ready for another nap, so I'm going to go now, my spot on the loveseat is empty-mmmmmmmmmm.  :) Bow]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There has been some confusion, about who would do my page on catster.  

To begin, mama Alley brought me here to live in August (2004) when I was very young.  Mary Beth claimed me right away. (She had lost her long time friend Samson in May-he was 11 years old when Mary Beth had to say goodbye to him on her 18th birthday.  He was a black cat with a white spot on his neck, the same as me.)   Mary Beth and I were really close until she went to college.  We  made time to cuddle in the evenings before going to bed.  I'd make her pet me for a very, very long time, to make up for the petting that I did not get from her while she was at school.

Then, she got a job.  Well, that cut into our time even more.  We'd have short evenings because she was in bed by 8:00 p.m. because, she would have to get up at 2:00 a.m. to be at McDonald's (she was one of the biscuit makers, a really good one, that's what I heard).   

Then, and I would never have believed it if someone had told me, she met someone and I was no longer her most important friend.  This boy, who does not like cats, got to spend all kinds of time with her and I rarely got to see her.  When he would come to the house, I would climb up between Mary Beth and him, just because I knew he didn't care for it.  

And one day Mary Beth moved out into her own apartment.  She could not have a pet there, so I was left here.  Oh, mommie took good care of me, but I missed Mary Beth.   She would come to visit on the weekends and I would snub her at first, but would always give in.  

However, Mary Beth later moved again, this time with that boy in their own trailer.  The time came and now she could have a pet, but she didn't know if I would be happy living with her now.  I would have to be indoors all of the time, and I like going outside sometimes.  So, she took Mo and Boss, 2 of my little bros who were 5 months old and had never been outside.

Boss did not like living there with Mary Beth. Then Mary Beth's friend rescued two kittens.  It was decided that Boss would come back here and she would keep Mau, one of the rescued kittens.

Now, I've become close with mommie.  She takes care of my needs, keeps me fed, cuddles with me and knows how much I love to have the back of my neck combed.  But, Mary Beth still claimed me as her cat and made a catster page for me.  Last week  Mary Beth thought again she might take me to live with her, but decided on a new kitten (Cocoa, she was a rescue also).  They are right, I would not want to have to be inside all of the time.  I like coming and going as I please.  I don't think that boy and I would get along.  He took my best friend, but I know now that you can make new friends.  Those first friends are really sweet tho.  

So to make a really long story short, that is why I am only now joining catster with mommie.  Mary Beth had me on her page but she is going to delete me there so that I can be here.  Mommie can keep my page updated more than Mary Beth can, since she is with me more (and that's why mommie told Mary Beth that she was going to add me to her page here).  I am a special kitty, I have three mommies: mama Alley gave me life; mama Mary Beth played and played with me when I was young; and mommie-she loves me dearly.  I'm one blessed kitty.  :) Bow Tye]]></content:encoded>
