She saved my life. I went to her hou ... Why would I think my Mom should win the Mommy’s Day Contest? She saved my life. I went to her house and i was terrified. Three other people didn’t think I was worth keeping
I spent times in those homes and was locked in rooms by myself, until I was so very scared. The lady took me in Mommie’s house and she looked pretty nice, but, so did the other people and I thought, “Here we go again
another person who will kick me out.” I held onto her leg so tightly, scared of being alone. I know I wasn’t the most beautiful cat on the earth, but, I thought that I have a heart full of love to give to someone special. And although she didn’t think I understood what they said, the lady who brought me to Mom’s was talking with another lady, and I heard her say, “This is the last try. if she doesn’t work for these people, we’ll just have to put her down.” I know what that means. I learned that at the shelter. There were some cats that left out the back door, without someone to love them, and we never saw them again
.it was so sad. So, I sat on her lap and purr-rayed like no cat had ever purr-rayed. I held on and tried to look purrdy. it was extra hard because they had just ‘fixed’ me and my tummy was naked and I was as skinny as a silly old worm. I’d look at my Mom with my purrdy blue eyes and I know the love was shining through
and one day, when I looked, I realized hers were shining with love, too. “She loves me,” I thought! How beautiful life is now. And I was able to help my Mom back for saving my life. She got breast cancer in 2002. I laid beside her every time she had chemo and licked her arm for comfort. I wouldn’t leave her side for three days ’til she felt better. The only thing I would do, is go do my duties and have a quick bite to eat. And back to the bedroom to my Mama. Then, last year when she had a double mastectomy from sarcoma cancer, I was there for her again. She’s my hero. She’s my love. She deserves more than I can ever give her
and that is why I hope my Mommie wins!

A true rags-to-riches story, MAWSE is a comeback pet who has not only survived a troubled start, but uses her success to lend a helping paw to others. Well-rounded and hard-working, MAWSE has re-written the rules of stardom and continues to spread her influence throughout the animal kingdom. Still a down-home country girl, MAWSE's one weakness is the chow that she knows from her youth, and she's not afraid to gobble up a little gravy every now and then. MAWSE manages to keep her positive reputation intact, despite being hounded by the press and her thousands of diehard fans everywhere she goes. MAWSE is smart, creative and innovative and has used these qualities to build up an empire the likes of which have never before been seen.

She has been having cat scans, bone scans, ultra sounds and all kinda things. So, she found out there is a mass in the pelvic region. It's really big. Although they won't say for sure, they think it's a fibroid mass. We sure are praying that's what it is. So Mommie will has a hysterectomy after Christmas to take all the stuff out. I hope she will feel better then. We don't want any more of that Big C word again. Three times is wa-aaay too much! So Mommie says to have a beautiful holiday season, each and every one of you.

"When God Created Kitty Cats" When God created kitty cats, He had no recipe; He knew He wanted something sweet, As sweet as sweet could be. He started out with sugar, Adding just a trace of spice; Then stirred in drops of morning dew, To keep them fresh and nice. He thought cats should be soft to pet, Thus he gave them coats of fur; So they could show they were content, He taught them how to purr. He made for them long tails to wave, While strutting down the walk; Then trained them in meow-ology, So they could do cat-talk. He made them into acrobats, And gave them grace and poise; Their wide-eyed curiosity, He took from little boys. He put whiskers on their faces, Gave them tiny ears for caps; Then shaped their little bodies, To snugly fit on laps. He gave them eyes as big as saucers, To look into man's soul; Then set a tolerance for mankind, As their purpose and their goal. Benevolent ... and ... Generous, He made so many of them; Then charged, with fatherly concern, The human race to love them. When one jumped up upon His lap, God gently stroked its head; The cat gave Him a kitty kiss, "What wondrous love," God said. God smiled at His accomplishment, So pleased with His creation; And said, with pride, as He sat back, "At last. . . I've reached purr-fection!"]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/531354 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:15:20 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/531354 We got tagged by Goldie of Nova Scotia to tell seven things I am thankful for. 1.

He had big, brown melty eyes. And this long, thick beautiful hair, really long. Mommie was from another generation and kind of felt that guys should have hair only to their shoulders, if that. Well, Mommie had something he wanted,....her beautiful, black haired, blue eyed daughter. Hm-mmm...she wasn't too sure about that. But, he knew exactly how to win Mommie over... with a kitten. He was standing there by her and had his hand in his pocket. Carefully, he pulled out this baby kitten, and handed it to her. It had whiskers that went on forever! So, she named him Yosemite Sam! So, they traded...sort of. Shelle' moved in with her handsome fellow and Mommie had the kitten. She ended up giving them the kitten back, pretty sure at times that she had gotten the best of the deal. Kitties don't talk quite as much as girls do....hee hee! Well, so this pretty girl and handsome boy got married. And a beautiful couple they are. Mommie always teased him about his long hair. Well, after all these long years, Mommie did get the best of the deal for sure. She got three beautiful, black-haired granddaughters! And a fine son-in-law to boot! With long black hair. He is the epitome of what a son should be. He is caring and loving to his family. He looks at his wife with such love in his eyes and it makes Mommie happy to see the love shining back from hers to him. That's really all a Mother wants for her children...for them to be happy. And love is the greatest gift one can have. So, about that long haired son-in-law....yup, he's a gem. She just found out that he donated his beautiful hair to the Locks of Love Foundation.. Now, how special is that? Mommie sure loves that Italian boy, with the long hair. He's a son-in-law....no son to be proud of.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/514832 Sat, 11 Oct 2008 06:52:49 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/514832 I am letting Mommie do a diary page today.

This is dedicated to my sister, who, unfortunately had to travel the same road as I. It broke my heart to hear the same words for her as I first received in 2002. Since that terrible year, my sister and two cousins have been afflicted with cancer. It hit hard on our maternal side with this generation. The fearful part is for our daughters and our grandchildren. The word alone...cancer...stops your breath...stops your heart...and puts your life on hold. PLEASE...PLEASE, check yourself and have your mammos. No, it is not the most fun you will ever have, but, it is a necessary evil. I found mine myself. My sister found hers with a mammo. Even though there has never been breast cancer in your family, it doesn't mean it can't happen. I know that for a fact. When I found the lump, I told myself, no one had ever had it. Did that make a difference? NO. And of all the things in the world I might have liked to be first with, it sure wasn't cancer! So here's the poem I wrote for my sister with love: with love to my sister written for you by cherri © i will take you by the hand and lead you down the path like you did for me when i was a little girl i will try to find the path of least resistance to try to make it easy for you. and if you need to cry i am the one this time with the big shoulders and i will try to keep the boogeyman away. you may feel angry, i did. you may feel like crying, i did. you may feel like screaming, i did. you may feel hurt beyond words, i did. and though i can't take any of those things away, just know i'll be here for you. i traveled that path, so i could. God was kind enough to give me that knowlege so i could be there for you. and i thank Him for that. blessings are strange, aren't they?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/514625 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:58:04 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/514625 A very beautiful friend of my Mommie's donated her hair to the LOCKS OF LOVE for cancer.

Mommie and Daddy got to see her and Paul last month when they went there for vacation. Kim looks so pretty!!! She is beautiful with short hair too!! We just wanted to tell her thanks and let the rest of you know about this wonderful organization. People grow their hair real long and then donate it to cancer patients who mostly always lose their hair with chemo treatments. Mommie got to be bald once, and I thought she was still purdy. She said the worst part was being from Montana and having chemo in the winter!!! Her head got kinda cold when it stuck outta the covers! She bought a neat little hat just for keeping her old bald head warm. I offered to sit atop her head but,for some reason she refused. Hm-mmm, 'spose it's 'cause I weigh so much?

In 2002 her doctor called and told her she may have bone cancer. It was December, just before Christmas. Her beautiful friend, Ronie, was standing there when Mommie got the call. Mommie lost it. Totally. Her friend grabbed her and hugged her and said, "I'll give you some of my bone marrow." Is that not the true meaning of friendship? Mommie says she will never forget that. So here they were, just before Christmas and she was looking at having tests for bone cancer. Merry Christmas. She cried a lot. But, she couldn't bring herself to tell her family. She didn't want to ruin their Christmas. It was a sad day for Mommie, wondering if it would be the last Christmas she would spend with her grandchildren. But, God had another plan. And it was a Merry Christmas. We have spent many more holidays together. And there have been some tough roads to haul. But, Mommie thanks God every day for another beautiful day. Her light is God and her family.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/512675 Sun, 5 Oct 2008 07:25:34 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/512675 Mommie says that cancer will be the biggest, possibly the hardest journey of your life.

No names mentioned...although she would like to. In 2002, shewas diagnosed with Breast cancer. It scared the living daylights out of her! As she went to all her appointments there were many times she was shocked about the care she was getting. So she decided to talk to her doctor about what she felt was wrong. She told him that he was late 45 minutes for her first appointment, because he was too busy giving his precious time to be on television. Made her feel important! NOT! Then, the nurses jumped her because she didn't have her port in to accept the chemo. Well, duh, was she supposed to call and make the appointment? No, that was their job. And then, they had fits because there was no stent and they went on and on saying that it was going to really hurt. Um-mmm...she sure wanted to hear that! NOT! And in the first place they had not told her they were planning to start the chemo that day and as far as Mom was concerned, that is something that you definitely need to be prepared for. So she decided to wait until the next day. One of the worst things that had happened is that her treatment was delayed for 2 months and their excuse was that the results were not in yet. 2 MONTHS WAITING FOR RESULTS? HUH? Then, she told him that her and her husband had BOTH told him that she had chemo 10 days earlier...and he proceeded to take her back to the chemo room to get chemo AGAIN. Now, let's face it, a dose like that would have most likely killed her on the spot!!! The chemo gals took one look at her and said that she wasn't supposed to be there, that she had just had chemo!!!! There were more problems she told him and then, she said to him, that she felt like a paycheck instead of a person. She said she had people that loved her and wanted her to live. And all the while she was telling him these things, he sat there looking down his nose like she was just so much trash. Then he told her he could transfer her papers and they could find her another doctor!!!! She was stunned! She wondered where the caring was? She wondered why he didn't say something like, what can we do to make it better for you? So, after the rest of the treatment, she did find another doctor. So, if you are not happy with your doctor, if you feel you are not getting the care and compassion you need...find the one doctor who will give you what you need. Find one that truly cares. There are some out there. Mom has such wonderful doctors now. There is no waiting. There is no wondering. Just the complete bliss of knowing she is in good hands.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/512217 Fri, 3 Oct 2008 18:26:38 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/512217 Mommie has had some interesting news she told me to share with all of you.

Some of these things she didn't know until it happened to her. First off, a double mastectomy DOES NOT ASSURE that you will NEVER have breast cancer. The reason? You still have breast tissue so it can happen. Another thing a lot of people don't know is that a bruise on the breast can be cancer. Mom found that out the hard way. She had a bruise, knowing she didn't hurt herself, she watched it for a couple of months. Then, since it didn't go away, she called and made an appointment. They took a picture and then made another appointment for a month later. At that time, it had started to fade, so they sent her home. Within a short period of time, it came back, with a vengeance! So she made another appointment and they did a biopsy. Yup, it was cancer. This time it was sarcoma cancer.... caused by the radiation she had in 2003 for her breast cancer. That is the other thing we wanted you to know. Radiation can cause cancer. Strangely, they didn't mention that to her! Mommie received a book from her special chemo-angel, Merrilee. The book is called, "I DON'T REMEMBER SINGING UP FOR CANCER." It is a funny, poignant book that will have you laughing and crying. But, the one thing that I am bringing up this book for, is that there is a wonderful surgery for mastectomy patients, that few people have heard of. It is called a TRAM FLAP. You can browse the Internet and find out more about it. It uses your stomach tissue to rebuild a new breast. The wonderful part of this is,that it is your own tissue, not a replacement like all the other alternatives. And an added bonus is a bit of help for the old saggy tummy!!! Anyway, I pray for all of you who are suffering with this big ol' boogeyman. If you know others who can benefit from this, please send the info on. We wanna save some special peoples!!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/511712 Thu, 2 Oct 2008 06:29:37 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/511712 For some unknown reason, I have been labeled to be a bit crabby.

BUT, today, I am going to be a bit crabby. This is NATIONAL BREAST CANCER MONTH. You knew that, didn't you? There are things plastered all over to remind you. So, what are you doing about it? Did you set up an appointment to get a mammogram? You didn't? Why? Are you scared? Well, you should be. You are playing Russian roulette with your life. Do you do regular self exams? Do you? Do you feel something just isn't quite right? You know your body...no one else does. If you are reading this on your computer, you have access to all the information in the world on breast cancer. You also most likely have a phone book. Don't you? So, being the crabby cat that I am, I insist that you go over and pick up that phone book and your phone and make an appointment.....NOW. Iwant you here next year, and the next, and the next.... I need all the fans I can get. My Mommie went through breast cancer and then had sarcoma cancer. The sarcoma cancer was caused by the radiation for her breast cancer in 2002. There are so many things we do not know, until faced with the Big Bad Boogeyman. This month, Mommie and I will share our information with all of you. We hope that we save some lives and and then, Mommie says, her cancer will not be all in vain. NOW...call the doctor.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/505311 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 07:53:36 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/505311 You may have noticed that Mommie hasn't changed my background for a nice fall theme.

We have decided that since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we would just leave the pink ribbons in honor of all of the people who have been affected by this terrible disease. We want people to know we care. We want people to be aware. We want you to get MAMMOGRAMS and DO SELF EXAMS. We want you to TELL YOUR FRIENDS. We want everyone affected by this to LIVE. WE WANT A CURE. WE WANT BETTER CARE. WE WANT HEALTHIER OPTIONS.... NO MORE CHEMO!!! NO MORE RADIATION!!! There has to be a way. And somewhere, someday, maybe a child sitting here reading Catster will be the one who has that cure. Or somebody's Gramma who is baking cookies right now. Or a high school dropout who felt he wanted to help others because years ago he lost his beautiful mother, when he was just a small child. I hope so. Someone, some day will find that cure. And that, my friend, will be a beautiful day. NO MORE CANCER EVER OF ANY KIND. 1 IN 3 WOMEN WILL HAVE CANCER OF SOME KIND. TERRIFYING ODDS. My Mommie had breast cancer in 2002. She was so sick from the chemo. And then, she had radiation, which caused sarcoma cancer...(soft tissue cancer) and then, she had to have a double mastectomy. Four ladies on her maternal side have had breast cancer including her sister, my Aunt Dee Dee. One cousin died. That's what cancer is about. It kills and maims and takes your security away. It's the Boogey Man you always heard about. It takes away your sanity. And lives to haunt you every day thereafter. It empties your pockets, while it empties your mind. And it hurts everyone that loves you. And, that, Dear Catster Friend, is why I choose to have pink ribbons on my site year around.

Mommie is going through some tough times right now. Some of you know about it, some don't. We apologize for not doing all the fun questions and answers that many of our beautiful friends have sent, but, Mommie has been busy going to the doctor. We want to share this info, because Mommie feels like if she can help save some lives, then, at least she has done some good. Here is the letter she sent to her friends: Well, once again through the miracles of cancer, I learned a new word. Sarcoma. Sarcoma is soft tissue cancer. I just found out I have it. I am mainly writing to let you all know of a sympton that many don't know about. About six months ago, I found a bruise on my left breast...the same one I had BC on. I didn't do anything to damage it, and the bruise did not go away. I finally went to the doctor and they decided to take a pic and then I would go back in a month. In a month, it had begun to disappear. Then, it came back with a vengeance. So back to the doctor I went. He said, immediately, we need to do a biopsy. It hurt! His sweet nurse held my hand and I think I about broke it for her!! I apologized and she said that was what she was there for. How sweet. Anyway, it came back after a second opinion to be sarcoma. They did a CAT scan and our greatest blessing is that it has not spread. But, now I am scheduled for a double mastectomy on June 30th. I am scared witless. The cause of this cancer was from the radiation given to me when I had breast cancer. Please be aware that bruises can be a sign of cancer, too. If you have anything at all that you know is not right, GO TO THE DOCTOR. Don't wait. Please send this on to as many people as you can. Let's help save some lives.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/468761 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 07:54:31 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/468761 7-Day Forecast for Baghdad , Iraq Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed ... 7-Day Forecast for Baghdad , Iraq Fri Sat Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu 115F 89F 117F 89F 120F 90F 122F 91F 122F 92F 121F 95F 120F 95F Prayer request .

WE HAVE PUT THIS ON BEFORE, BUT, FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT, HERE IT IS AGAIN: TAPS Have you ever been to a military funeral in which taps was played; this brings out a new meaning of it. Here is something Every American should know. Until I read this, I didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true: We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps". It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes. But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings. Reportedly , it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia . The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heart-broken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. This wish was granted. The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps". Used at military funerals was born. The words are: Day is done. Gone the sun. From the lakes From the hills. From the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh. Fading light. Dims the sight. And a star. Gems the sky. Gleaming bright. From afar. Drawing nigh. Falls the night. Thanks and praise. For our days. Neath the sun Neath the stars. Neath the sky. As we go. This we know. God is nigh. I too have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along. I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before. Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country. Also Remember Those Who Have Served and Returned; and for those presently serving in the Armed Forces. Please send this on after a short prayer. Make this a Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God...]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/462791 Fri, 23 May 2008 07:18:50 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/462791 This was in Dear Abby today and we wanted to share it.

MOMENT OF SILENCE HONORS THOSE WHO SACRIFICED FOR US DEAR ABBY: Would you please invite all Americans to stand together, unified in spirit, for 60 seconds of respectful silence during the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time this Memorial Day? The purpose of this moment is a noble one, to honor America's fallen. The freedoms we take for granted each day are reminders of their ultimate sacrifice and our ongoing debt to them. We mourn our fallen and honor their courageous legacy and the future they bequeathed to us. The agony of a fallen soldier's mother is as old as war. One such mother is Sallie Stubenhofer. Her son, Mark, was killed by a sniper in Iraq. He left three young children, including a daughter who was born four months after his return to active duty. Mark and his wife named their baby Hope, which signified what he wanted to offer his children and all children. The Moment of Remembrance and our year-long, lifelong determination to "live honoring America's fallen" are in memory of Army Capt. Mark Stubenhofer and all those brave members of our military who have died in the service of our nation. We invite all Americans to pause in their Memorial Day activities at 3:00 local time to honor those who live in our history, reside in our hearts and rest forever in the arms of God. My Mommie's uncle Charles Petty died in the Philippines during WWII. His Mother, Rose Petty, tried so very hard to get his body shipped home. They wouldn't send him home, so his body lies in a mass grave. It broke her heart that her youngest son was not buried near her. We honor him. We honor and love all our sevice people. Each and every one is a hero.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/453327 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 15:15:48 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/453327 Mommie put this on Dancer's site this morning.

We posted it on our group ***CATSTER***WE LOVE OUR TROOPS*** and if you would like to join, just click on the name above. we feel our troops are every day heroes and we love them!!! I sat in my seat of the Boeing 767 waiting for everyone to hurry and stow their carry-ons and grab a seat so we could start what I was sure to be a long, uneventful flight home. With the huge capacity and slow moving people taking their time to stuff luggage far too big for the overhead and never paying much attention to holding up the growing line behind them, I simply shook my head knowing that this flight was not starting out very well. I was anxious to get home to see my loved ones so I was focused on my issues and just felt like standing up and yelling for some of these clowns to get their act together. I knew I couldn't say a word so I just thumbed thru the "Sky Mall" magazine from the seat pocket in front of me. You know it's really getting rough when you resort to the over priced, useless sky mall crap to break the monotony. With everyone finally seated, we just sat there with the cabin door open and no one in any hurry to get us going although we were well past the scheduled take off time No wonder the airline industry is in trouble I told myself. Just then, the attendant came on the intercom to inform us all that we were being delayed. The entire plane let out a collective groan. She resumed speaking to say "We are holding the aircraft for some very special people who are on their way to the plane and the delay shouldn't be more than 5 minutes. The word came after waiting six times as long as we were promised that I was finally going to be on my way home. Why the hoopla over "these" folks? I was expecting some celebrity or sport figure to be the reason for the hold up. Just get their butts in a seat and let's hit the gas I thought. The attendant came back on the speaker to announce in a loud and excited voice that we were being joined by several U.S. Marines returning home from Iraq!!! Just as they walked on board, the entire plane erupted into applause. The men were a bit taken by surprise by the 340 people cheering for them as they searched for their seats. They were having their hands shook and touched by almost everyone who was within an arm's distance of them as they passed down the aisle. One elderly woman kissed the hand of one of the Marines as he passed by her. The applause, whistles and cheering didn't stop for a long time. When we were finally airborne, I was not the only civilian checking his conscience as to the delays in "me" getting home, finding my easy chair, a cold beverage and the remote in my hand. These men had done for all of us and I had been complaining silently about "me" and "my" issues I took for granted the everyday freedoms I enjoy and the conveniences of the American way of life. I took for granted that others had paid the price for my ability to moan and complain about a few minutes delay to "me" while those Heroes were going home to their loved ones. I attempted to get my selfish outlook back in order and minutes before we landed, I suggested to the attendant that she announce over the speaker a request for everyone to remain in their seats until our heroes were allowed to gather their things and be first off the plane . The cheers and applause continued until the last Marine stepped off and we all rose to go about our too often taken for granted everyday freedoms. I felt proud of them. I felt it an honor and a privilege to be among the first to welcome them home and say "Thank You for a job well done." I vowed that I will never forget that flight nor the lesson learned. I can't say it enough, THANK YOU to those Veterans and active servicemen and women who may read this and a prayer for those who cannot because they are no longer with us. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Mommie has a difficult time buying Daddy a special present, but, I think she got it figured out this year. She knows he loves tools....he has a shop full of them. He likes to fish....has a lot of fishing stuff..... He likes antiques....he has Mommie....Um-mmmm... anyway.....For Christmas, she bought him a nice light that he could use for night fishing. Thought that was pretty cool. Well....so for his birthday she bought a porta potty to take fishing and another night light for fishing.....which she had promptly forgotten that she had already bought one for him for Christmas. So....like I said,I think she solved the problem of what to buy Daddy for birthdays and all holidays.....just buy the same thing over and over and...... (I hope Mommie doesn't read this....she might think I am making fun of her....and I would nver do that!)]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/440874 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:46:36 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/440874 I stole Dancer's bed spot last night!

She always gets so bent out of shape over it and then walks around plotting revenge. As if that pint sized pip squeak could do anything about it, except running, screaming to Mommie! Ha!

You can see by my pictures that it works, since I am so totally, devastatingly, beautiful! I had the very best, newest chair in the house to sleep on. But, I took Dancer's chair just to bug her.

I got this in an email and wanted to share with all of you: Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen. Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.' The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek. The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.' The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek. We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American. RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday - and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make life better for you?' is......We need your support and your prayers. Let's get the word out and lead with class, dignity and by example: Wear something red every Friday.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/427552 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 08:26:11 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/427552 Mommie asked so nice if she could put on a poem today that she wrote, so I said yes!

And, here it is: peace and quiet cherri petty shinaberger© when my kids were little and i was young peppermint kisses on my tongue, a merry-go-round of delightful sound chasing rainbows and stars around, summer shouts and a tickle scream, hurry let's go for some soft ice cream! look at this and let's go see that, don't forget to wear a hat. let's go to the lake and go to the fair would you mind, would you care? let's sing that song while we ride in the car. we just want to go, not too far. lots of laughter and yelling and such and sometimes i thought it was just too much. but, looking back i finally see, it was the best of times that will ever be!

I can boogie with the rest of 'em! And the best of 'em! I hope you like my page. I had Mommie put on some nice Valentine's things, JUST FOR YOU! The box of candy is especially good. "Cept I think Mommie ate all the caramels. She likes them a lot! Of course anything with chocolate is in mortal danger in this house! She used to buy way too much Easter candy for the grandchildren. So she cut it back....after some certain Mothers decided it was too much. (Ma didn't mind, she didn't have to put up with them when they got on their sugar highs. Her theory is: SUGAR 'EM UP AND SEND THEM HOME!!!) Well, she cut back and they still said it was too much. Well, Ma says, "How much is too much when it comes to chocolate? Is there such a thing?" So that's why Mommie likes Valentine's Day. And Daddy better pay attention. CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE. Hint hint. Hey...where ya going Ma? Oh, just as I thought, she is in the kitchen digging in the pantry for her emergency supply of chocolate. Well, I guess I'm done here.....]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/422932 Fri, 8 Feb 2008 08:19:55 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/422932 GOT FURR-RIENDS!

The good news is that she will be okay. Thank Goodness! Mommie was so very sad. She loves her sisters so very much. Aunt Gale and Aunt Dee Dee are her older sisters and they always took care of Mommie when she was little. They wouldn't let the boogeyman get her! They helped her say her prayers when she was little and now it is a good thing, because Mommie has been praying that her sister would be okay. Purr-rayers are good. They taught her to be tough....and she tries to be, but, sometimes it just hurts more than she can bear. She loves them that much. She says it is terrible to see people you love hurting. And wouldn't it be good if we could just take the hurt away? But, sometimes we can't. So we just have to be there. Sometimes that's the best thing of all. So, that's what I am going to do for my Mommie. Be there. She needs me again.

There's snow on that ice....don't they see it???? Snow is COLD! They can have it! Pa loves to fish and doesn't seem to mind the cold as much as Mommie, but, even he is not interested in going to the perch deby.

I thought it carried a very special message. So I wanted to sh ... Mommie got this in an email today. I thought it carried a very special message. So I wanted to share. BEING A MOTHER After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would Love to spend some time with you." The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my Three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well," she asked? My Mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded "just the two of us."She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much." That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn To celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told My friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting." We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My Mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing Extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed. "How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice, Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered. A few days later, my Mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I Paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for Your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son." At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I love YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time." Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby.... somebody doesn't know that once you're a Mother, "normal" is history. Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first....somebody doesn't have two or more children. Somebody said the hardest part of being a Mother is labor and delivery....somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten...or on a plane headed for military "boot camp." Somebody said a Mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a Mother's heartstrings. Somebody said a Mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....somebody never had grandchildren. Somebody said your Mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her....somebody isn't a Mother. Pass this along to all the "Mothers" in your life and to everyone who ever had a mother. This isn't just about being a Mother; it's about appreciating the people in your lives while you have them....no matter who that person is. Watch your Thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your Habits, they become character. Watch your Character, for it becomes your Destiny. "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle".]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/416522 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 16:09:43 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/416522 Of course by dumb, stupid cat, you know I am referring to my sister cat, Dancer.

It is right now, 5 below zero!!! Baby kitty it is cold outside! Mommie and Daddy had to go to Billings for a funeral on this weekend so they had to leave when it was snowing. There was 3 inches on the ground when they left. And they had to go through a big mountain pass in Bozeman. Mommie said she was scared that it would be really bad, but, it wasn't! Then, on the way back on Saturday, she just knew the roads would be terrible!!! But, once again, they didn't have any problems at all. Mommie said it is because SOMEBODY UP THERE, loves us! And they got home safe and sound ahead of the big storm. It snowed and snowed and the wind blew something fierce! Old man Winter was here with a vengeance! The snow piled up to about 7 feet high by the garage! I didn't want to go out at all!! Imagine that! Ha meow ha! Mommie's nice brother-in-law came over with his snowblower and cleaned out the snow for us. How sweet can ya be? Well, all I gotta say is, I am looking forward to springtime! And I hope Old Man winter is traveling to another place!! We are quite sick of his antics! Bye meow bye....I am going to go cuddle up in those nice, warm blankets.

Not one bite. NOT one!!! In fact, there was no cooking at all going on here on Christmas day unless you want to count that breakfast that her and Daddy hogged all to themselves. All I know is that at about 2 PM well after the turkey should have been done, they left. They left! Imagine. No turkey! Dancer pops in about now and tells Mawsie that their Aunt Dee Dee was in the hosptial and so they decided to delay the Christmas going ons and they will celebrate when Aunt Dee Dee is out of the hospital. Dancer gives Mawsie a disgusted look and walks away shaking her head. "Greedy, dumb cat...all she thinks about is her belly," Dancer mutters. "Oh"....Mawse says, " I didn't know." Dancer comes back and says, "Ya know, that's what it's all about, Stupid. Giving and caring for someone besides your greedy self. I hope you're happy. Aunt Dee Dee is very sick. She has breast cancer like our Mommie had in 2002. She needs us now and you might start thinking about someone besides yourself. Or your big fat belly!" Mawsie slinks off to the back bedroom. I hear her sobbing. Then, I hear her say.... "I didn't know. I really didn't know. I would be glad to give up all my meals if my Aunt Dee Dee will be okay. Please, Dear God, make her better. I love my Aunt Dee Dee." Yes, Mawsie has a beautiful heart.

I'm a bit ticked off! Mommie asked Daddy what he wants for Christmas. Daddy ... Well!!! *** !!!! I'm a bit ticked off! Mommie asked Daddy what he wants for Christmas. Daddy has lots of tools and boy stuff and she has a hard time trying to figure out what to get him. So she asked him what he would like for the Big Day? He told her he would like a couple of ten pound dumbbells. Mom laughed and said, "Just use Dancer and Mawse." Hey.....................that's not nice!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/396220 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:56:23 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/396220 Well, they did it again.

I was supposed to have my teeth cleaned and I came home missing yet another tooth! They took me in at 8 AM and came to get me at 3 PM. I felt like I had been orphaned! But....it gets worse! I tried to stand up and fell over like a drunken sailor! My front legs went one way and my back legs crumpled up and I lay there like an idiot. I do not like to lose my dignity! How very disgusting! I was sicker than a dog and my face hurt like it had been hit by a semi! All night long I tried to walk...to no avail....disgusting! I did manage to make it to the food, though. And sheesh...I had to use the restroom too. Danged if I was going to use a public toilet! tsk! Never know what you'll get from one of those. Mommie kept getting up to check on me. I moaned and groaned a lot just to see her reaction. She's got pretty good timing for an old broad. She made it to the couch where I was laying in about 4 seconds flat! Or was that five meows? I can't remember....everything about last night is a blurry haze. And, my jaw still hurts! At least I can walk today. I am never, EVER getting into that thingy again....the one that has the holes on the sides and a door in the front. I fought it pretty good yesterday but, with Ma and Pa both pushing, I didn't have much choice. I liked our old house better....there were more places to hide. Daddy was pretty nice, too. He let me have his very own spot on the couch. Only thing is when I would try to walk, he would laugh at me. Ticks me off! I hate that! I got some pretty good chow, too. Daddy had the bestest fish for supper. Ma said she hoped he didn't mind, but, Poor lil' me needed a treat. And it was some treat! Wonder if I kind of stumbled around a bit tonight, if she would give me a dab more of it? Think I'll give it a try.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/395268 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:17:20 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/395268 A Different Christmas Poem The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed ro ... A Different Christmas Poem The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light, I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. My wife was asleep, her head on my chest, My daughter beside me, angelic in rest. Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white, Transforming the yard to a winter delight. The sparkling lights in the tree I believe, Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep, Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep. In perfect contentment, or so it would seem, So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near, But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow. My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear, And I crept to the door just to see who was near. Stan ding out in the cold and the dark of the night, A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old, Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold. Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled, Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child. "What are you doing?", I asked without fear, "Come in this moment, it's freezing out here. Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve, You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve. For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift, Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts, To the window that danced with a warm fire's light. Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right, I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night." "It's my duty to stand at the front of the line, That separates you from the darkest of times. No one had to ask or beg or implore me." "I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me. My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,' Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers." "My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ', And now it is my turn and so, here I am. I've not seen my own son in more than a while, But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile." Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag, The red, white, and blue... an American flag. "I can live through the cold and the being alone, Away from my family, my house and my home." "I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet, I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat. I can carry the weight of killing another, Or lay down my life with my sister and brother." Who stand at the front against any and all, To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall." "So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright, Your family is waiting and I'll be all right." "But isn't there something I can do, at the least, "Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast? It seems all too little for all that you've done, For being away from your wife and your son." Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret, "Just tell us you love us, and never forget. To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone, To stand your own watch, no matter how long." "For when we come home, either standing or dead, To know you remember we fought and we bled. Is payment enough, and with that we will trust, That we mattered to you as you mattered to us." PLEASE, Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our U.S.service men and women for our being able to celebrate these festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/393064 Fri, 23 Nov 2007 08:14:45 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/393064 Mommie finally opened that dang door and let Dancer and I outside!

It was colder than sittin' on a snowbank in the middle of Antartica! some nerve. Throw a poor defenseless cat out in the cold! Br-rrrr... Okay, so I begged to go outside. She didn't actually throw me out. It took me about 5 seconds to change my mind and head back for the door and beg nicely to be back inside! Now, Dumb Dancer, she went out onto the cold, wet, frosty grass and stood there with the normal dumb look on her face. Ma had to insist she come back in. Shows ya where the brains are, doesn't it?

She yelled and Dumb Dancer ran to the middle of the floor and sat there looing stupid, which by the way, she does really well. I am not dummy!!!! I ran for the bedroom and hid under the bed. Then, later on I tiptoed out and acted like nothing had happened. Works for me! But, I ain't taking any chances today....I'm on my best behavior...gotta have turkey tomorrow.

We have been so lucky as each and every check-up has been good, including the most recent one this month. However.....my aunt Dee Dee was diagnosed this last week with breast cancer too. My Mommie is just devastated for her. She loves her sister so very much. Mommie wrote this poem for her: with love to my sister written for you by cherri © i will take you by the hand and lead you down the path like you did for me when i was a little girl i will try to find the path of least resistance to try to make it easy for you. and if you need to cry i am the one this time with the big shoulders and i will try to keep the boogeyman away. you may feel angry, i did. you may feel like crying, i did. you may feel like screaming, i did. you may feel hurt beyond words, i did. and though i can't take any of those things away, just know i'll be here for you. i traveled that path, so i could. God was kind enough to give me that knowlege so i could be there for you. and i thank Him for that. blessings are strange, aren't they? There will be some rough days ahead, but, Mommie knows everything will be okay.

Stand For Our Courageous Military Heroes In a long-standing tradition that honors those who have served our country courageously, the American flag is precisely folded into a star-covered triangle and presented to the grieving family. Each fold has a sacred meaning, including references to God and our religious heritage. In an age of war, where our brave military men and women have been asked to pay the ultimate sacrifice, it comes as a stinging slap in the face to grieving families and the memory of our heroes to have this honor revoked by a heckling few. We must demand this highest and most sacred tradition be protected by our Commander-in-Chief. Our military heroes deserve nothing less. Please read the form carefully and declare your membership with the ACLJ by signing our online Petition to Protect Military Funerals. Petition to Protect Military Funerals The Honorable President George W. Bush The Veterans Administration As a freedom-loving citizen and member of the American Center for Law and Justice, I urge you to stand for our fallen heroes. In a time of war, our courageous soldiers, grieving families, and time-honored military traditions should never fall into question or debate. I respectfully request that military funerals be given the utmost protection by our Commander-in-Chief. Please rescind the ban and ensure that both the oral and written explanation of the flag-folding ceremony be given to our nation's grieving families. Our military heroes deserve nothing less.

She said she could outrun bullets but, she couldn't outrun Breast cancer. It was hard. Chemo, radiation, Arimidex, affected nodes, positive, lumpectomy....so many words for the fear of death. My Mom got lucky. She survived. Some don't. Many are very young, many are old. They are all scared. And that part doesn't go away. The fear. Mawsie was there with me during this time. she gave me all the love in her little heart that she had. I think it made the difference for me. How could I possibly die and leave my little friend? I couldn't. If you want to read more about what Mawse did for me, the info is on your right in her bio. She's my furry, little hero!!! I don't usually write Dancer's and Mawse's diaries the same, but, tonight I did because this is so very important. And as we all know, the diaries go off and on the pages really fast.

There was a little eleven year old boy who was coming home to Montana to die. It just broke Mama's heart. She said she doesn't understand why little one's have to be so sick and suffer so much. And die. It just broke her heart for him and his family who will suffer the loss of his sunlight. She says sometimes her life is tough and sometimes things aren't so very good, but, she sees things like this and realizes how very good her life is. All of her children and grandchildren are healthy. There really isn't much more she could ask for. She sends prayers for the boy and his family. And hugs. I'm sorry to put such sad news on my page....but, sometimes we need a wake-up call. This would certainly apply as one.

MOM WAS SO SCARED AND PRAYED HARD FOR THE PEOPLE THERE. IT WAS A BIG MIRACLE THAT NO HOMES WERE LOST AND THE BEAUTIFUL THING WAS, NO ONE GOT HURT! SO, WHEN MA AND PA WENT BACK TO BILLINGS, THEY VISITED THEIR OLD AREA AND THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT OUR HOUSE. I LIVED MOST OF MY LIFE THERE. IT WAS SO PRETTY WITH DEER IN THE YARD AND CHIPMUNKS AND BEARS AND ALL KINDS OF CRITTERS. IT WAS SERENE AND PEACEFUL. THERE WERE PINE TREES ALL AROUND AND THE NEIGHBORS WERE THE BEST IN THE WORLD. MA AND PA HAD THE BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD THERE. THEY SURE LOVE THEM A LOT. WELL, AS THEY DROVE IN AND SAW THE TERRIBLE DEVASTATION, MA STARTED TO CRY, AND THEN SHE THOUGHT, I CAN'T DO THAT AND GET DIANE ALL UPSET AGAIN. BUT, WHEN THEY CAME INTO THEIR OLD DRIVEWAY, THE TEARS JUST POURED OUT AND THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO ABOUT THAT. DIANE GRABBED HER AND HUGGED HER AND SAID, "IT'S OKAY, SWEETIE." MA JUST BLUBBERED AND HUGGED HER BACK. IT WAS HEARTBREAKING. BUT, WE ARE GLAD OUR PEOPLE ARE FINE. THAT THEIR HOMES ARE SAFE. THE DEER GOT AWAY AND THE BEARS....SO FOR ALL THAT WE ARE HAPPY. AND WE CERTAINLY THANK GOD FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS. THE FIRES HAVE BEEN HORRENDOUS IN MONTANA THIS SUMMER. MOM REMEMBERS FIFTY YEARS AGO, WHEN EVERYTHING WAS SO GREEN AND PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL.

"Sick in the head, sick in the mind and just plain a sick-o for sure!!!" Mawse says, "At least I have a tail." And she walked off, with her tail held high. Besides she couldn't think of any answer, but, she wasn't going to admit that.

MEMORIAL DAY SHOULD MEAN MORE THAN JUST OPEN POOLS DEAR ABBY: When I asked a group of schoolchildren what Memorial Day meant to them, they replied, "That's the day the pools open!" Too many older Americans would have similar responses. There can be no argument that we, as a nation, need to refresh our memories and put "memorial" back into Memorial Day. We must never forget who we are memorializing and inform each coming generation that since the birth of our nation, more than 1 million men and women have died to ensure our freedom. I ask all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress to recognize, honor and memorialize all those who have given their lives in service to our country throughout our history. They were someone's father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, other relative or friend. Their families are also casualties of war, for their loss is the most enduring sacrifice. Abby, please urge our fellow Americans to live honoring America's fallen. As long as they are remembered they are never gone. -- CARMELLA LA SPADA, DIRECTOR, WHITE HOUSE COMMISSION ON REMEMBRANCE DEAR CARMELLA: Thank you for your timely and heartfelt letter. I'm pleased to pass along your message. Readers, wherever you may be tomorrow on Memorial Day -- even if it's the swimming pool -- please take a moment and pause at 3 p.m. (local time) and think about those who died to preserve our liberties. Do something for your country in their blessed memory, even if it is only taking a moment to appreciate their courage and sacrifice for us.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/314673 Fri, 25 May 2007 07:16:41 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/314673 I have been tagged by MAGIC AND REV I was tagged before but, for some stupid reason, my secretary d ...

But, she said to call the paper and put in a free ad. Or call around and see if anyone else would take him. Mommie wanted to say that she was stupid and that that was a terrible, mean thing to do. And that was the problem. That people like her do things like that and then, we have all these poor animals that die and get maimed. She also wanted to say she was a jerk, or something else. And that she sure doesn't have much of a heart.

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support "Red Friday ... Will you give this to my Daddy? As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support "Red Fridays." Last week I was in Atlanta , Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.. Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families. Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said "hi." The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek. The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney , told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney , bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you." He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying "your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon." The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek. We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American. RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops. Our idea of showing solidarity a nd support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that...every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on. The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is..."We need your support and your prayers." Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday. IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON. WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED ---- SO WEAR RED! MAY GOD HELP AMERICA TO BECOME ONE NATION, UNDER GOD. HAVE A GREAT DAY.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/302779 Sat, 28 Apr 2007 15:08:22 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/302779 Interesting info sent to me by a friend: TAPS Have you ever be ... Interesting info sent to me by a friend: TAPS Have you ever been to a military funeral in which taps was played; this brings out a new meaning of it. Here is something Every American should know. Until I read this, I didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true: We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, "Taps". It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes. But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings. Reportedly , it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia . The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land. During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment. When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead. The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy enlisted in the Confederate Army. The following morning, heart-broken, the father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted. The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform. This wish was granted. The haunting melody, we now know as "Taps". Used at military funerals was born. The words are: Day is done. Gone the sun. From the lakes From the hills. From the sky. All is well. Safely rest. God is nigh. Fading light. Dims the sight. And a star. Gems the sky. Gleaming bright. From afar. Drawing nigh. Falls the night. Thanks and praise. For our days. Neath the sun Neath the stars. Neath the sky. As we go. This we know. God is nigh. I too have felt the chills while listening to "Taps" but I have never seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more than one verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along. I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before. Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country. Also Remember Those Who Have Served and Returned; and for those presently serving in the Armed Forces. Please send this on after a short prayer. Make this a Prayer wheel for our soldiers...please don't break it. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God...]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/301148 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 20:05:58 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/301148 Hey....we need some help here!

In September of 2005, a social studies schoolteacher from Arkansas did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with permission of the school superintendent, the principal, and the building supervisor, she took all of the desks out of the classroom. The kids came into first period, they walked in; there were no desks. They obviously looked around and said, "Where's our desks?" The teacher said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them." They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades." "No," she said. "Maybe it's our behavior." And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior." And so they came and went in the first period, still no desks in the classroom. Second period, same thing. Third period. By early afternoon television news crews had gathered in the class to find out about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of the classroom. The last period of the day, the instructor gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the floor around the sides of the room. She said, "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the desks that sit in this classroom ordinarily. Now I'm going to tell you." She went over to the door of her classroom and opened it, and as she did 27 U.S. veterans, wearing their uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows, and then they stood along the wall. By the time they had finished placing the desks, those kids for the first time I think perhaps in their lives understood how they earned those desks. Their teacher said, "You don't have to earn those desks. These guys did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly, to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it."

I don't know what ... Well, it's been months since I have been allowed the privilege of going outside. I don't know what got into Mommie, but, she opened the door and invited me to go out. I looked. I really did. I walked over there and laid down by the open door. I wanted to go out, but, after months of imprisonment, I wasn't too sure what I should do. So, I laid there. She kept talking to me, telling me it was okay. Yeah, fine and the minute I step out the door I get hollared at, right? No way was I going out that door. She closed it then, and I heard her and Dad laughing. So what's funny? The fact that I don't want to escape today? Humph. Well, the door opened again and Ma said, "Come on Mawsie." After she begged me for several more minutes, I got up and moseyed out the door, slowly, just in case there were going to be some repercussions. Everything went just fine, so I went to the end of the porch and sat for a couple of minutes, sniffing the fine fresh air. Smelled darn good. then, just for the heck of it, I went down to the flowers that are considering peeking out one of these days. Sat there for awhile. Stupid, better known as Dancin' Girl in our family, had gone out ahead of me. She was over in front of the porch, doing her thing. Ma was keeping an eye on both of us, sez there's critters out here....really? Wonder if they would like some lunch? I'd be glad to donate Dancer for a quick bite....heh, heh. Ma went inside for just a moment and there was one heck of a commotion! I ran for the door and Dancer did, too. Don't know what the heck it was and neither did Ma as she came back out. Well, that was the end of that. Got my fluffy butt thrown back inside and so did Dancer. Well, a fine trip out that turned out to be. Inside, outside, inside.

PLEASE READ AS IT MAY SAVE SOME LIVES: ... THIS WAS POSTED IN THE ***WE LOVE OUR TROOPS*** BY WEEBLE. PLEASE READ AS IT MAY SAVE SOME LIVES: The Easter lily is as common in many spring homes as chocolate bunnies and jelly beans. But did you know this popular flower is toxic to your cat? In fact, other members of the lily family have been found to be toxic, including the day lily and the tiger lily (although there's no need to worry about the non-toxic calla lily, peace lily, or glory lily). Eating just one leaf of a toxic lily can result in severe poisoning, and within a short time your cat will exhibit signs of toxicity. Signs and Symptoms The primary toxic effects are on the kidneys. Within minutes to hours of ingesting part of the lily plant, your cat might stop eating and begin vomiting. As the toxin begins to affect the kidneys, the cat will become lethargic. Finally, he will experience kidney failure and death will generally occur within five days. Once you suspect your cat has eaten part of a lily plant, it is important that you contact your veterinarian immediately. If treatment is started early, chances are your cat will recover, but once the kidneys have been severely affected, your cat may not survive. Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosing lily toxicity is generally based on a history of exposure to the plant and signs of vomiting and dehydration. Your veterinarian will probably do some preliminary blood tests to determine if any kidney damage has occurred, and repeat them once treatment has been started to determine if treatment is effective. The treatment generally consists of hospitalization and intravenous fluids. Your veterinarian may also give your cat medication to control nausea and vomiting. Home care will not result in full recovery. Prevention Obviously, the best prevention of lily toxicity is to keep lily plants away from your cat. If you bring lilies into the house, you may have to keep them in a separate room where your nibbling cat cannot enter. Better still, consider choosing other springtime flowers instead, like impatiens or gardenias, and leave the lilies outside.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/293387 Thu, 5 Apr 2007 08:09:37 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/293387 Today in our local newpaper, Mom found a list of Montana men who have lost their lives protecting ou ...

She has been feeding all the feral cats in this area and trying to find homes for the kittens that showed up with their mother. We have posted that she found homes for four of the kittens and the mother cat. It breaks her heart when it is cold out and the animals have no protection. She was also unable to tame down two of the feral kittens. They just would not come close at all. After living here since late July of last year, the two kittens are now of breeding age. So, it begins again. There will be more kittens....kittens that are hungry and have no homes. Kittens that will freeze in the 20 - 30 below weather we get in the winter. Kittens that will have more kittens and so on and on and on. The animal shelter in Helena will not have anything to do with the problem.....it is outside of their area. So, who does care? Who takes care of things like this in small out of the way towns? Who? Just who gives a damn? I'm sorry...I shouldn't be a cussin'...but, it is such a heart rendering situation. These animals are eaten by the local fox and whatever prowls around at night. They are found dead in the fields and alongside the highway or on it. They are found starved to death and torn apart by dogs and critters. Sorry to be so graphic, but, it tears Mommie apart not to be able to do more. She is at a standstill when no one else will help to get assistance for these small babies. She can feed them and find homes...she can have nightmares at night about them. She can cry for them....but, she can't get anyone to care.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/289669 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 17:09:21 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/289669 It rained yesterday and again today.

That means we will get to go fishing! I like to go because they let me go out by myself and look around. One time I found a gopher hole. It smelled mighty tasty. Mom was laughing because she told Dad there was a gopher in another hole looking straight at me. I didn't see him. I would have torn him from stem to stern! Oops!

CHECK THIS OUT A ... PET FOOD RECALL...DOGS AND CATS DYING FROM KIDNEY FAILURE AFTER EATING PET FOOD. CHECK THIS OUT AT MENU FOODS RECALL Menu Foods said Saturday it is recalling dog food sold under 46 brands and cat food sold under 37 brands and distributed throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The pet foods were sold by major retailers, including Wal-Mart, Kroger and Safeway. A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates is available from the Menu Foods website, http://www.menufoods.com/recall . Consumers with questions can also call (866) 895-2708. "At this juncture, we're not 100 percent sure what's happened," said Paul Henderson, the company's president and chief executive officer. However, the recalled products were made using wheat gluten purchased from a new supplier, since dropped for another source, spokeswoman Sarah Tuite said. Wheat gluten is a source of protein. An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the reported cases of illness and death, the company said. The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec. 3 and March 6. The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said. The company said it makes pet food for 17 of the top 20 North American retailers. It is also a contract manufacturer for the top branded pet food companies, including Procter & Gamble Co. P&G announced Friday the recall of specific 3 oz., 5.5 oz., 6 oz. and 13.2 oz. canned and 3 oz. and 5.3 oz. foil pouch cat and dog wet food products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands. The recalled products bear the code dates of 6339 through 7073 followed by the plant code 4197, P&G said. Menu Foods' three U.S. and one Canadian factory produce more than 1 billion containers of wet pet food a year. The recall covers pet food made at company plants in Emporia, Kan., and Pennsauken, N.J., Henderson said Henderson said the company received an undisclosed number of owner complaints of vomiting and kidney failure in dogs and cats after they had been fed its products. It has tested its products but not found a cause for the sickness. "To date, the tests have not indicated any problems with the product," Henderson said. The company alerted the Food and Drug Administration, which already has inspectors in one of the two plants, Henderson said. Menu Foods is majority owned by the Menu Foods Income Fund, based in Ontario, Canada Recalled Cat Product Information Recall Information 1-866-895-2708 Americas Choice, Preferred Pets Authority Best Choice Companion Compliments Demoulas Market Basket Fine Feline Cat, Shep Dog Food Lion Foodtown Giant Companion Good n Meaty Hannaford Hill Country Fare Hy-Vee Key Food Laura Lynn Li'l Red Loving Meals Main Choice Nutriplan Nutro Max Gourmet Classics Nutro Natural Choice Paws Presidents Choice Price Chopper Priority Save-A-Lot Schnucks Sophistacat Special Kitty Springfield Pride Sprout Total Pet, My True Friend Wegmans Western Family White Rose Winn Dixie Recalled Dog Product Information Recall Information 1-866-895-2708 Americas Choice, Preferred Pets Authority Award Best Choice Big Bet Big Red Bloom Bruiser Cadillac Companion Demoulas Market Basket Fine Feline Cat, Shep Dog Food Lion Giant Companion Great Choice Hannaford Hill Country Fare Hy-Vee Key Food Laura Lynn Loving Meals Main Choice Mixables Nutriplan Nutro Max Nutro Natural Choice Nutro Ol'Roy Paws Pet Essentials Pet Pride Presidents Choice Price Chopper Priority Publix Roche Bros Save-A-Lot Schnucks Springsfield Pride Sprout Stater Bros Total Pet, My True Friend Western Family White Rose Winn Dixie Your Pet]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/285625 Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:50:59 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/285625 What to do with this beautiful day?

She gets her plate of food and I sit fairly close to her and just look slightly pitiful and hungry. Sometimes it works. Sometimes she just says I look pretty well fed and that I should get lost.

Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one. Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity. Allegiance - - My love and my devotion. To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job. United - - That means that we have all come together. States - - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country. And to the Republic - - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people. For which it stands One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God. Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided. With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation. And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others. For All - - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God. Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

She tosses and turns and naturally, I have to check to see if there is a handy hand there that just feels the overwhelming need to pet me. When she turns, it disturbs me. I get up, walk over, and check her breathing. Gotta get right up in her face for that one. Ew-wwwww....I am so glad that she doesn't eat garlic before she goes to bed! Sometimes it smells like she does! Anyway, I just stand there and stare at her, till she wakes up enough to realize it is pet time. Then, I flop down on her arm and give it a lick or two, to get it started, and enjoy my petting. She mumbles sometimes and quite honestly, I am surprised that a little old lady knows those type of words. Something about a &%$#@!*^!! STUPID CAT and also, %$XX*&@!$*!!! Mawse....tsk..... Well, for sure I am going to have to have LOTS of naps today. And, I did not get my quota of pets last night, so we will have to have a talk about that later on.

Mommie was sitting by the computer working away...when Daddy hollered something. She didn't hear him exactly, so she hollered back, "What?" He told her to get the fire extinguisher. Sure didn't take her long to get out the door and into the room with the fire extinguisher in it! And then, she heard him mention something about the vacuum cleaner, so she was going to go back and get it too. ONLY......when she took the fire extinguisher out, there was the vacuum and it was blazing away! That thing was hot and then some! There was a really good fire going inside it. What th'.....? Well, Dear ol' Dad had cleaned out the ashes from the wood stove and and then, decided to vacuum up the ashes around it. Only....they were hot! REALLY HOT! And they caught the vac on fire! Mommie is a bit ticked. That was her very best vacuum...her ONLY vacuum. Now she needs to buy a new one.....heh, heh, I think it will be a very, VERY expensive one.

I am going to have Mommie put a picture of him and me taking a nap together....just don't tell on us. He talks to us and always reaches down to pet us when we walk by. He is so silly...he likes to pretend he is just a cranky old man that doesn't like cats....well, he might be old, but, I am here to tell you, he sure does like Dancer and me. He calls Dancer a Puppy though. I wonder what that is supposed to mean? Do ya think he would rather have a dog? Well.....I can see his point. I would rather have a dog, too, rather than have my sister Dancer. She is a pain in the um-mmm, well, you know! And I hate dogs!!!

Anyway, after Dancer gets done irritating Mommie, she said she has work to do....which is fine with me. I have to get busy and take a nap....maybe a bit of a snack first. Mommie put an extra dish of food in the bedroom which is nice because I don't have to walk from one end of the house to the other to get a snack. But, she was none too happy this morning at about 3 A.M. when I woke her up with my crunching. Come on, Mom.

I am sorry if I seemed a bit put out yesterday about the new counter tops and all the work that was going on about the house. I really, really didn't mean it. You should see my new counter tops in my bathrooms! They just look wonderful! And, not only that, I got a new drinking fountain in the small bath. It is smooth and shiny and it is higher and much more convenient for me to sip my water from! It even tastes better with the new faucet! Really! I didn't want you to think I am an old grouch. ***She is an old grouch.*** whisper, whisper. SHUT UP, DANCER! I just wanted you all to know how much I appreciate everything Ma and Pa did for me. ***they didn't do it for you, you fathead!*** whisper, whisper. GET AWAY FROM ME, NOW!

I didn't mind too much, but, I really don't like the disruption in my daily schedule....or the noise. Or not being able to take a nap with Ma or Pa in the afternoon. They are fixing up the counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. I guess I should be happy for Mommie because she is so excited. However, this afternoon I found out just how terrible this whole situation is! Daddy and Mommie are trained (rather well), to give me my fresh drinks from the bathroom sinks! Daddy turns the water on and lets the water slowly drizzle out at just the right speed. I get the freshest water possible and that is the way I like it. Mommie fills one sink up in the master bathroom, just for me! So, as I said, they are pretty trainable, even though they are old. Well!!!! This afternoon I just had the biggest thirst! I went in the small bathroom and as always I jumped up carefully onto the counter....I am very careful so I won't fall in the sink! (I hate it when that happens!) Well, fer dang sure I didn't fall in the sink....there wasn't any sink! NO SINK! There was just a flat new surface with....NO SINK!!! What the heck did they do with my sink? I just couldn't believe it! So, I scurried my little fat butt into the master bathroom and leaped up there....carefully....and BOTH SINKS were gone too!!! What the hey? Are they nuts? Those are my personal watering holes and now they are gone! GONE! I tell you! Well....I hear they are going to be back tomorrow and I am only giving them a few minutes to return my sinks or they are going to hear from me. I am on the verge of turning into a wildcat! I will blow! I will scream like a Banshee! At the very least I will pout. I want my sinks back!!!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/267915 Mon, 5 Feb 2007 21:15:23 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/267915 I bet you will be so-ooo thrilled to see all the new pics Mommie put on my site!

Well, after about two years of this favoritism stuff, I come struttin' out and lay right alongside of Mom. ticks Dancer off!!! Ha Ha! Anyway, last night I did my usual thing and Mommie was flipping the string over by Dancer, and as she did the backward flip, I tried to catch the string, too! Mommie looked at me like I had lost my marbles. I do not play. I am dignified. Okay, so once in a great while I lose it and go off the deep end. I have to because otherwise, Dancer gets all the attention! Wall, anyhoo, flip, grab, flip grab, flip....dang, that was getting to be a lot of fun! This playing stuff is not a bad thing! Guess I will just have to do this every night! Dancer kept telling me to go away. "Go away, you big fat tub," says Dancer. "Not even! I am having great fun!," I says. "You are a pain you know where and if I could say exactly where, I would, but, Mommie wouldn't like it," Dancer growls. "You are a selfish, jealous, spoiled, rotten Ninny," I tells the spoiled rotten brat! "Spoiled? Rotten? Jealous? YOU are the jealous one, otherwise you wouldn't be here," says Miss Spoiled Rotten herself. "I am having a ball and I am not going anywhere. So there, ya butthead!" So, I didn't. I stayed right there by Mom till she tickled my feet and then I got up to have a bite to eat and a nap. This playing stuff wears a girl out and makes ya hungry!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/266110 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 07:54:24 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/266110 I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH ...

When I have nothing else to do, I lay in the hallway to make sure that Dancer can't get to the catbox. I purposely lay on both of the beds to claim them as mine, so Dancer has to lay on the floor. I got in her cat bed, that she got for her birthday....and I really don't even like them, but, it sure bugs her. I eat most all day long so that I get most of the food. I lay in the middle of the kitchen floor so Mom has to trip around me....so Dancer can't get close to her. When she gets on the couch with Mom, I hurry up and go over there and chase her away with my nasty thought, that Mom can't hear.....works pretty good! I got a few more ideas to bug her with, that I will be using soon. She is easy to bug.

I have seen Mommie get up in the middle of the night to head to her litter box and walk into a wall! Now, what is that? It was when we first moved into our new home. She said she wasn't quite 'acclimated' to our new place, whatever the heck that means? So, she put a night light out in the bathroom and it seems to have helped. I haven't seen her hit the wall again. But, I sure don't like to have that light glaring away all night. She does do a rather good job of bouncing off a wall! Looks pretty funny. Of course, I didn't dare laugh. She probably would have thrown a shoe at me....if she could find one in the dark! * Snort, giggle. * People are really strange.

They wouldn't send him home. Hi paid for our freedom as have all the others. And we all need to be together and pray for the safe return of our troops. I don't understand the ways of war.

Every time I go to the litter box, there is someone watching me and sometimes she is giggling. I HATE THAT! I don't want to mention any names, but, SHE is getting on my nerves. She laughs at me because when I am done I usually, scratch the sides of the litter box, if I bother with it at all. It is not one of my favorite things and I am the type of cat that would just as soon be done with it. I do not like someone watching. It is terribly embarrassing. I think if I were to sit by her litter box and watch her and then giggle, I think she would probably throw a roll of toilet paper at me! Most of the time, I just get in and do my dooty and then, get the heck out! Then, that stoopid Dancer comes in and buries my last deposit. Always trying to make points with Mommie! She is a sicko! I want some privacy!!! And I want it now! Okay, so I am claustrophobic. I DO NOT want a lid over it. They tried that...even cut out a window, so I could see out. But, it didn't work for me. So, I am thinking, maybe a nice silk curtain would be nice. Something in pink with some butteflies and daisies. Or black silk would be classy. Yeah, black silk is good. I have often requested that everyone leave the room, but, of course, no one listens to me. They never do.

She says it's the ghost face of her nightmares. But, it works and works good. Then, she proceeds to pet me. That's exactly what I wanted! Well, the woman is a bit strange, because this morning, she was pettin' away and then she started to giggle. ??? What was that all about? Strange. Then, she mumbled something about electricity sparking from my fur. Well, I don't know what was going on, but, I felt these little sparkly things going up and down my hide. Is that electricity? She told me I look like our Christmas tree when it lit up! She giggled some more and then got up to use her litter box.

It is bad enough to be blamed for the posterior noise they make, but, then to be blamed for the stench they cause is absolutely deplorable! It is beyond embarrassing.....it is unforgivable. Sometimes the noise is so loud, it hurts my ears....usually that is from dear old Dad. Not that Ma is any too dainty in that defartment; she can let 'er rip with the best of them. Sometimes there's just a silly little whistle that just plain sounds stupid! As I said, the stench....ohmycatwhiskers!!!! I have smelled dead mice that smelled like roses alongside the other!

Why do people cry like that? She cries when she is sad, and she cries when she is happy! How silly people are. But, I am happy that she is happy. She's a pretty good old Mommie and I like to see her smile. Once she said if she has to have all those wrinkles that she hopes most of them will be from smiles. I wonder if I have wrinkles too? I can't tell with all the fur on my face. Maybe if Mommie got some fur on her face, she might not see all those wrinkles! We had a busy day wth company. Aunt Dee Dee and Leroy and DeLayna and Jessie and Koz and Rose were here. Mommie cooked enough for a trainload of people, like she always does. There's enough leftovers to last a couple of weeks! She didn't do a turkey this Christmas....Instead she had a huge, yummy, breakfast buffet! Ham and sausage and bacon. Bisquits and gravy, with cheese and boiled eggs in it! Homemade hash, and cornflake dipped French toast. Scrambled eggs with cheese and green chiles and ham. Plus a multitude of other goodies, including fresh banana nut bread and other tasty treats. But, I missed having a turkey as it is my favorite. Oh, well, just as long as it doesn't happen too often!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/248645 Sat, 23 Dec 2006 08:41:44 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/248645 The big day is almost here.

Mommie and Daddy went shopping and brought home a bunch more stuff and then wrapped it and put it under the tree. Sure looks tempting under there. I heard a nasty rumor just the other day. From whaat I hear, Mommie not going to cook a turkey for Christmas day. Now what is that? I expect my turkey on Christmas! It has always been that way, since the day I moved in with her. No turkey? That has to be possibly the worst news of my life! I love turkey! She told Daddy that since their families won't be here, there is no sense in having all the turkey stuff. What am I, chopped liver? I am family. Even one small turkey would be fine....Mawsie size would be perfect! Well, maybe she will fix me up a nice piece of white meat chicken then, 'cuz I like chicken almost as much. She said she will miss her family for the holiday season, all her grandchildren and her boy and girl. She loves them a lot, but, they won't be able to be here. I wish they could, because I know that Mommies misses them and loves them very, very much. I hate to see her cry, but, sometimes she does and then pretends that she isn't. but, I see the tears. That's what I am here for....to bring her some love when she needs it the most. That's what this girl is for.....to share and love. Good and bad.

Maybe I should just start that before she brings that rotten concoction in. If she got to gagging first, maybe she would forget about it! Ya know....I will always love my Mommie, but, sometmes I don't like her. Oh.....Dancer just told me I outta be glad that Mommie does that. That it is because she loves me.

After reading about Simon and Sampson, two missing cats, we decided that we should start a group for missing cats. The main goal is to put in the pictures for all to see, and hopefully, some little way we can help. If nothing else, we can take a moment to support those whose hearts are empty. If you know of anyone who has a family member missing, go to the Catster Groups page and add your cat. Who knows, maybe we can help find them. Let's hope there is a success story or two or more. Mom's story: We went through the horrible feelings long ago with a kitty named Piddy Puddy. He was a beautiful Himalayan and I loved him so. My kids let him out accidentally, while I was at work. I was broken-hearted. Off and on during the day I would call his name and think of him and at night when I went to bed, I would call his name some more. The ex headed for work one morning and I was in bed as it was still only about 6AM. Suddenly I heard the front door open and footsteps coming down the hall. I looked just in time to see a furry dirty mess come flying into my bed....my Piddy Puddy. He was oily and dirty and so scared. And I snuggled him into my nice clean bed, glad he was home. The ex said he happened to look back in his rear view mirror just in time to see a bit of color go into a culvert under the highway. It was near our home. His thought, could it be....so he turned back around to look and there Piddy was! The days he was gone were a bit of hell. I will always feel that calling him and directing him home with a cats sensitive ESP was the reason he was back home. My heart and the kitties purrs are with any of you without your furry family there at your side.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/244467 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 16:22:43 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/244467 I was so impressed today when I got a nice rosette from Simon.

She has been eating soft canned food and delighting in that! But, later on today, she will need to graduate back to the dry food for her own good. Ha! She won't think so! Last night, she came into the computer room and had a sip of water and scratched on the chair I was sitting on. Usually, she knows I don't want her to scratch on the furniture, but, it was so normal of her, that....well, what could I say? Then, she got to eyeing my lap like it was the best place in the world to be. I picked her up (Ugh...she's heavy!) and put her on my lap. She checked me for fleas...which is another normal thing for her to do....she nibbles with her teeth flat against my arm and makes me wonder when she is going to actually bite? But, it felt good to have her join the family again. She has made several trips to the kitchen for her food. Naturally, she had to eat the little dab I gave to Dancer, too. She is just being herself by doing that. It is nice to have my little piggy back, wanting food....and affection! I would like to say, that if suddenly, your cat becomes more reclusive than normal or sleeps more, watch them closely. When she took to the bedroom and slept more than before, I at first attributed it to her being older. Now, I know, it was because she was sick. I wish they could talk and say, "Ma, I sure don't feel good, but, they can't. We just have to be aware of what is normal and what is not for that particular animal. Okay, now I will let Mawsie have the floor: Zzzz-zzzzzz......]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/243822 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 08:51:08 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/243822 I seem to be sleeping rather well...in fact, that is about all I do! Of course, that is about all I ... I seem to be sleeping rather well...in fact, that is about all I do! Of course, that is about all I did before I was sick, so I'm just being me! Boy, sometimes it's almost worth getting sick. Mommie has been spoiling me rotten! I like that a lot! She hasn't been giving me any of that nice soft canned food, hardly ever, since I lost a tooth because of it. But, now, I get it served on a nice clean plate a few times a day. I think she is putting water in it though, as she doesn't think I am drinking enough water. The food is great, but, this morning before I got the goods, she squirted some of that foul stuff in my mouth that I was getting at the doc-terror's office. That was some dirty trick! What's the matter with that woman? Gag.... pett-too-eeeee! Nasty stuff! How would she like it if she was all set for a nice sumptuous breakfast and someone squirted yuk in her mouth? I don't think so! Well, I managed to get past that and had a few bites of food and a couple of sips of water and went back to my room. I will stay there for awhile and then I will mosey out, looking as pitiful as I can. Mommie will run over and get out some more food and feed me, again. Then, she will probably brush me, 'cuz she knows I like it. I may give Dancer a dirty look or two and then, start the same routine over again, later on. Thanks Catsters for taking care of Mommie while I was gone. She is such a wuss. She outta know that nothing can get this old cat down for long!

She is on antibiotics for this week. Her neck is shaved and she sure ain't no beauty, but, she is alive and well. She will have to wash dishes for a long long time....$389.69 later...but, she is worth every penny! To those of you who have sent rosettes and stars and prayers and messages, you have no idea how much this meant to me and Mawse. We felt the love and the prayers and I knew she would be fine. Prayers are what got me through the breast cancer...with lots of help from my Mawsie. It was my turn to make sure she got through her sickness. I guess that my bringing in the kittens and trying to find homes for them may have been part of the problem. Am I sorry? Yes, for the hurt caused to Mawse, but, not for trying to help little critters that can't help themselves. But, I guess we all need to remember these things are out there, diseases that can harm our animals. Unfortunately, there are people like my neighbors who don't give a darn and let them breed and starve and live in the freezing cold. BUT, we need to make sure they don't infect our own babies. And we need to insist on their shots even though a veterinarian says it is not necessary....as was the case here with Mawse. My gut feeling was that he was wrong. I should have listened to that instead of the vet. Please be sure your pets are vaccinated and fixed. Especially if they go out, even for a couple of minutes. Ours got to go out for a little while, supervised closely, and I would guess at that time, it was when they were exposed to the disease. The wild cats have been all over our yard....and most likely will continue to be. Unfortunately, we have no Humane Soc. in Broadwater county to help alleviate this problem. Anyway...Mawsie sends love...while she eats and has a drink of water from her favorite watering dish, the bathroom sink! Love to all our new friends and old. You are all precious to us!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/243145 Sun, 10 Dec 2006 17:11:26 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/243145 I wish I had enough rosettes to send every one of you one back.

I first want to thank all of you....I was going to mention everyone's names who sent rosettes, stars and pmails....but, I think it would take most of the day! Mommie came to visit me at the vets office. He was grinning at her like she was a silly old lady who was worried about her baby. Okay, she is, but, she misses her Mawsie and I don't blame her. He brought me out and I was quite embarrassed as my neck has been shaved. I look terrible. And what is more, I am very, very mad at my Mommie for leaving me here. She was so happy to see me that she got tears in her eyes. I just glared at her and tried to get off her lap so I could get out the door. Didn't work. I am stuck here for probably another day. It depends on how I do. i plan to get better as I have to go home and reestablish with Dancer that I am boss there. She has been just awful. But, then, she always is.

We get to go visit with her when someone is back at the office. I didn't want her to think we have deserted her, so I asked if we could visit. I wll keep you updated as to what is going on as we hear new info. Thank you, all of you. This morning as I opened my email, I was shocked at the outpouring of love and support for my little girl. I sat here and cried. You will never know what it means to me....I send baskets of love to each and every one of you. As I said, I asked the vet if we could visit. I told him I hoped he didn't think I was just a weird little old lady, but, that I would love to see Mawsie so she would know I love her and I didn't just walk away and leave her. I think it is hard enough to be away at that 'scary place' and then to feel deserted has to be a terrible feeling. I think she will heal better and faster if we visit awhile today. I don't know when she will get to come home. I hope real soon 'cuz I sure miss her!

I was pretty scared, mostly that she would send me back like all the others did. But, here it is 8 years later, and I am still here. (She had the good sense to keep a fine cat like me!) She used to read a lot at bedtime and I always laid on the bed with her. She had this little lamp on a table by the bed. For some reason, I couldn't resist...I had to look under the lamp shade. Every time I did, there would be this terrible odor! Stank to high Heaven! I didn't know what it was, thought that was the smelliest lamp I had ever seen! Then, one night Mommie looked at me and started laughing! "Mawsie, you are so silly. You have just got to stop sticking your head in the lamp! You are ruining your pretty whiskers! They are all burned off on one side!" Oh,.....so that was what smelled so bad. Did I learn, well, I hate to admit it, but, as long as we lived there, I just had to look under that shade....and I always had short whiskers on the left side.

I don't know what gets into them for sure, but, it is a mess this year as our house is smaller than the one we had at the same time last year! Egads! What a mess!! There's half a tree in the frontroom and it has little lights on it. I think she plans to put the other half on, but, really, who knows? I need to get away from all of this insanity! I need to go to the bar and have a double shot of catnip...if I had a bar. I need food. I need normal parents. I need a nap.

But, now she has found homes for them and they are out of my house I am not a cat lover, never have been, never will be. Having three kittens intruding on my turf, is a bit much! But, I know my Mom, she will do anything to save a hungry cold kitty or even, (Gasp!) a dog!!! A dawg!!! And that is part of the problem...that's how we got Dancin' Girl.

We didn't have a lot of those noisy critters over so it was a quiet day for this old cat! Aunt Dee Dee was here and as always she talked baby talk to me and told me I am beautiful...which goes without saying! I am a bit groggy this morning after overdosing on turkey....but, what a way to go!!! I am thinking now that the holiday is over, Mommie might just have a bit more time to work on my diary. I was getting a bit ticked about this situation. It seemed all she was doing was working, doing this and doing that! Painting and cooking and washing and cleaning. How silly people are. You don't see cats busting their buns.

It is LATE, beyond late and she is still sitting there...and so, the heck with it, I am going to the other bed. But, that isn't all bad. She is a total bed hog anyway. She sleeps sideways, crossways, up-side-down, and some other ways too numberous to mention!!! And, so, I guess it is just as well. I will just go to bed on my own, without the old woman who thinks that she owns this place. When she gets up to take a brisk walk.............to the bathroom, I will DEMAND a drink of water from my favorite fountain.....the bathroom sink. Just once, let her complain. I will sit there in the sink, like I always do....and I will make her life misrerable....like I always do...and I will MEOW in my cute little "Oh thank you Mommie voice" and she will feel guilty and I will get my drink of water. I don't care if it is 4 A.M. I will get my drink of water! And she will be very, very sorry she sat so darn long at the computer! (Without me.) Amen and good night!

She went completely bananas...but, that's just kinda natural for her anyway. Well, then, as usual, she acted like a complete idiot As I walked by she said, "These are sure fun.

Mom thinks I would beat up on the little kittens. What kind of a cat does she think I am? Well, okay, so I used to beat up a little bit on that one that she found a few years ago....but, that was a long time ago, too! I wish I had beaten on Dancer a bit more, maybe she would have left. Oh, well, you live and learn a wee tiny bit. It is getting to be so darn cold outside that it really doesn't matter anyway. I can wait to go outside. I am certainly ready for Springtime though, aren't you? I ran out the door one day a few days back....screech! My feet were wet. I was such a good girl, as I turned around and went back inside. Mommie didn't even have to yell at me. Be darned if she wasn't laughing though. "Serves you right for sneaking out when the door was open, Mawsie," she says. "That is precisely why I didn't let you out in the first place, Knothead." Knothead????? ME? Thanks...I needed that...not. Yup, Springtime sounds good....Knothead doesn't. By the way, I hate wet feet. Next time I will look before I leap. And run like the devil before someone catches me!

She got there by acting stupid. Which is always her way of doing things. She rolls over on her back and curls her toes up in the most ignorant way possible and thinks she is cute. Mommie suckers and that is that!!! Well, if I really gave a dang, I would be in there right now messing up the whole program. But, right now, I don't care.

She said that at least if Dancer was one too, she would have a nice pair and with Dancer having no tail, it wouldn't get in the way shen she walks! Well.....that's not nice either!

The last two days have been spent with Ma and Pa smearing the walls with some paint....stupid Dancer didn't even know what paint is! Well, that was a mess with the furniture all moved out into other rooms. BUT....that isn't the half of it. Today three men that I don't know at all...showed up here and have been putting new carpet down. I am so tired of all these intrusions in my life!!! I like a nice serene setting....no surprises....no disorder. Talk about disorder! Our cat boxes have been moved into other rooms. My food dishes are hard to find...but, I did manage....somehow to find BOTH of them. And, that stupid Dancer is running around like a chicken with her head cut off! She is beyond weird! Now, there was nothing wrong with the old carpet....it was nice and green the color of fresh, green grass. This carpet is brown like old dead grass and I am just not too sure I like it. But, it does feel good on my toes...nice and soft, and springy! Well, I guess it's not too bad. Kinda nice of Ma and Pa to think of me that way and put something soft for my tootsies. They put it in our room, too. And Daddy is working on our cat tree to put in our room. Just can't wait to see it. He has it in the shop and he is planning to surprise us!!! He's a pretty darn good Daddy if I do say so myself!!! Well, I am hoping after today, that life returns to normal. I just want my peace and quiet again, with no disruptions!!!

They are all adorable and desparately need homes before winter sets in. Montana weather in the winter can be very cruel to small animals. Sometimes it gets to be 30 BELOW. Years ago, when Mommie was a child, she saw the results of weather like that on an abandoned cat. The ears were frozen off and much of the tail, too. Maybe that is why she feels so desparate to find these darling babies a home. And, Mama Cat needs a home too. She is a great mouser and loves her babies to pieces. She waits to eat, letting them get their fill. She is full of love. It took nearly a month for her to trust Mommie enough to let her pet her. Now, she loves her affection as much as the babies! Mom will get a picture of her and put her on here, too. These kitties are darling and love to be held. They sing some mighty loud tunes and let you know they love you and appreciate your caring. Mommie said she will be glad to drive part ways if you are not close to her area of Townsend, Montana. Just so it's in Montana...can't drive to Texas! PLEASE, PLEASE....help us find homes for these babies. They are about 8 weeks old...not too sure of the age, but, they are little. There are some other black kittens too, but, not yet pettable! (Is that a word?) The names of the kitties are: PUMPKIN NOSE DEW DROP AND TANGERINE.

They get all the good stuff....the leftovers and cat food too. But, after about a month, the Mama cat came to her and wanted to be petted. Mommie reached down very carefully and gave her some nice, soft pets. She started purring immediately! She sang to high heaven! She was in Heaven! Mommie looked pretty happy, too! She came in all shiny looking and happy and told Dad that after all this time, the Mommy cat finally let her pet her. That is NOT a good sign. That is how we got the other thing that lives here in MY house. I do not want any more cats living here. She has been loving up a couple of the little kitties and I know what happens when she does that! I think she is getting wa-aaay too attached to that kitty!

So, today, promptly at 5 AM... yes, 5 AM she gets up and trots around the house, waking me up! Now, she might like to be up at 5 AM....I do not! I need my beauty rest and I tend to be a bit crabby if I do not get it. What is with this woman? Has she got a screw loose? She waited all her life to be retarded, is that the word...or was it retired? Anyway, she wanted to be able to sleep in and cuddle up under the nice warm blankets and enjoy sleeping till noon, if she wants! And, what does she do...get up at 5 AM and wake everybody else up, except Dad, who by the way, is peacefully snoring away. How can he do that with an old woman walking about, making coffee and messing around with a computer? Is she nuts? Is he nuts? Are all people nuts? Well, there was only one thing to do...I had some breakfast, and then a small snack, then, went promptly back to bed. That is what she should do if she had any brains!

Now, really, I am not into playing and acting like an idiot, like someone else I know, but, I do not like her getting all the attention either. At precisely 8 PM, Dancer throws a little fit and tells my Mommie to play...okay so she just sits there and looks stupid...but, Mommie feels indebted to play with the big baby! So, she gets her string and sits on the floor and whirls the string around. (I wonder how Mommie can get up and down off the floor as old as she is?) Anyway, then, Dancer runs around and grabs the string and makes Mommie laugh. Well, enough of that, I say. So, I have been going over and getting in the middle of it all. Dancer gets really ticked when I show up. Tough! I am the real cat here and I want the attention too! But, now I find after interfering, that this is a lot of fun! I actually attacked the string twice last night. My main goal was just to tick Dancer off and I was doing a pretty good job of that! I told Dancer that she should be sorry for grabbing all the attention from Mommie all the time. She said, "I'm sorry??????" I said, "Thank you."]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/223952 Wed, 25 Oct 2006 08:33:14 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/223952 We're ba-aaack!

How totally boring! And, it galls me not to be able to do my daily diary. The nerve! OH NO! Daddy just looked out the window and there are about five baby kitties next door in the empty house. What are we gonna do? Why do people let their cats run loose and have all those kittens? It is just plain shameful! Mommie is going nuts just trying to keep enough food out for all of them and now there are more! She was able to catch one so far, but, now there are MORE! Whatever are we gonna do? What? We live in a small town and there is no animal rescue here. Maybe there should be one....there are certainly enough animals on the loose here and they all need help. Mommie said she thinks she will go to the house on the other side of the empty house (where all the cats are.) and ask if those are their kittens. Then, she will do something...not too sure what. It may not be to their liking that is for sure!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/221566 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 08:38:06 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/221566 Mommie is just the bestest!

According to Dr. Gott, (a people doctor) if you put a bar of Ivory soap under your sheets in your bed, you will no longer suffer from wrenching pains at night. It is supposed to help control things like leg and foot cramps and Charlie horses ( ? ) at night. Well, I must say, it has helped me tremendously!!! I no longer have any pain at night when I lay on it. There does seem to be one small problem with all this though....every time I get nice and comfortable on it, Mommie kicks me off, muttering some fancy French words about the 'cat.' That's not nice! If she is going to do something nice for me, then, she ought to be generous about it. I got kicked off three times last night! I am beginning to think she put it there for herself and not for me!

"Dancer, you are so stupid, it is just a saying. I did not mean he is really a pig, he just eats like one." "Oh," Dancer says. (She is not only stupid, she is a complete idiot.) Mommie went to the store and bought them a lot of cat food. She is worried about them for the winter. I am glad they will have lots of food, but, I hope that they find another place to stay. That is how we got the whiney baby poopey pants who lives here with me, and I do not, repeat, DO NOT want to have to go through that again.

I saw that my dear sweet Mommie put something out in the yard tonight after they went out for dinner. I know for a fact that they went out for prime rib dinner, and I am pretty sure they came home with some nice and yummy scraps. Did I get any? No. So, it is my guess that the 5 wild cats out there are dining on prime rib. Now what kind of deal is that? I like prime rib.......a lot. At this point can I call my Mother a jerk? Okay, so she isn't a jerk. She's the flower of my heart.

So, I managed to get behind the boxes and find this nice clean spot on the carpet to use.....twice. I imagine that I am in BIG trouble right now.

If you have blinds in your house with the little cords that pull, they can be mighty dangerous to us cats! We have them here and the people who lived here had cats too. Mommie noticed cat hair in the cords where some cat had lost some fur. The cords usually tie and form kind of a hangman's knot. Your poor kitty could very easily get caught in this and hang to death!!! That would be terrible! Mommie always folds it up and puts it out of the way. Or you can fix a place to tie it so it won't hang down.

Yesterday my Mommie and Daddy were in the computer room and they heard a meow and came to look for Dancer and I. It wasn't us! So, Dad looked out the window and there was an orange cat there. Oh, oh. Then, they got to looking and there were actually three cats out there. Two orange and one orange with gray. The boss cat was an orange fancy with circles on the sides. I know Mommie. She just might drag them in! Mommie filled up a couple of dishes and took them out for them to eat. Boy, were they hungry! It made us all pretty mad to think that some uncaring person had dropped them off to fend for themselves. Mom was mad, Dad was disgusted and Dancer had a tear in her eye, remembering how it feels to live like that. Why do people do that? It seems that they probably enjoyed them as kittens and then dropped them off. So, what? The cute wears off and suddenly you're not good for anything? I wonder if those people would have liked their parents to have done the same thing to them when they were kids? They grow up too. And the cute wears off. So, Mommie will call around today to find a no-kill shelter for these desparate creatures. Mom says she wishes she could take them all in, but, we just don't have the room. Besides, with Dancer here, there is already one cat too many living here.

I jaunted over to see what was in the middle of the yard and Mommie told me to get my butt over here where she was. Humph, was I supposed to bring the rest of me, or did she just want my butt???? I couldn't quite figure out how to do that, so I just brought my whole self back to where she was. Dancer ran off and Mom went to get her so I moseyed around a bit. I was hoping our outside foray was for the whole day (Hee hee, I'm a poet cat!) but, I knew she would get grouchy and make us go back inside. I hate it when she does that! Then, suddenly there was a big rucus and without thinking, I ran back inside the house! Shucks, it was just a pickup truck driving by. Stupid me! Well, so now we are both inside and that is the end of that! I wanted to stay out longer. Well, someday when I am the boss around here, things will be different, I tell ya. I will go out when I please, have chicken and only the best pieces every day. I will tell Dancer where to go....anywhere but here will be fine.

The sun glints off the top of the mountains and catches the eyes of eagles soaring by. They make a pass and tilt their wings in a mighty hello. The sky blossoms into blue roses the likes of which I have never seen! The antelope run about, giddy as kindergartners left out to play.

Daddy had gotten up and he heard a bunch of noise, but, he didn't come to see what the problem was. He told Mommie that something must have scared me really bad, because there was a lot of commotion. So, Mommie looked this morning to see if there was any problem. The only thing she could see, was that Daddy had opened the window and they are covered with blinds. Mommie always makes sure that the ends are out of the way, so Mawsie and me can't get caught in the string! Daddy didn't think about that and they are pretty sure that is what happened. I'm not talking. But, purr-lease tell your people to make sure the blinds do not have strings that can choke your kitty. It would be a terrible way to die, getting hung with a string by the neck. Or if your people were gone a long time, and you got caught by a paw or leg, you might have to have one of them amputated.

It sort of startled me,.....okay, so it scared the living poopoo out of me and I ran back to the door real quick! I paused and looked back and did I feel ultra dumb! It was my stupid sister Dancin' Girl. I looked over at Mommie to see if she had noticed, and she did. She was giggling although I didn't think it was the least bit funny! Sometimes she has the weirdest sense of humr! Anyway, I went back outside as if nothing happened. I mosied around a bit and then, went inside for a bite to eat.

(Or rather, a very ticked off Mother.) Well, the next time I was sitting there, the door opened and I ducked! Then, she told me to come out. What is this? Make up your mind! Come out? Why? Is the paper waiting out there for me? No. So, I looked and it seemed to be quite safe, so I mosied my little self out the door. Ta da! Sometimes it works to be patient.

She must have read my thoughts, because all of a sudden the door opened and she let me out. I was so glad to be outside and so, I was rubbing her foot to say thanks. She said, "Mawsie, you and I were put on this Earth to make each other happy." I couldn't have said it better myself. Mommie and I are nearly the same age now. No wonder she has all these aches and pains! Poor old gal! Poor old me! I am sure glad I have fur all over, 'cuz then, I would probably look like her, with all those wrinkles!

Sometimes I see gophers and mice and bugs and just have a fine ol' time. But, not anymore. No-sirree! I am not too happy about this developement either. I want to be an only child again.

But, tonight it is a good thing. There has been smoke in the air for such a long time. The sky today was totally grey with the smoke. It has been a terrible year for fires here in Montana, too. I sure hope the rain puts out some of those fires and makes the sky pretty again. My Aunt Dee Dee gets the sneezes when it is all smokey. I bet she is happy that it is raining now. Maybe I will go out....not now, but, tomorrow and smell the flowers for a change. Everything smelled like smoke before!

This house is much smaller than the other one in Columbus.....are they crazy? They just can't put all that stuff from a 2700 square foot house, into a 1620 square foot home. Aren't they silly? I think they're gonna try!! They really should concentrate on getting rid of a few things. Starting with my sister Dancer....heh heh. Now, that's a novel idea! But, do they ever listen to me? No-ooooo! They haven't even put in my new cat door that they promised me, yet. Dang! I am so looking forward to a nice new door. FYI...I caught a mouse the other day. I played and played with it and then wandered off to find something else to do. Mommie wondered why I let it go? Well, to be honest, I am getting a bit soft in my old age, and I can't stand to see anything hurt. (Don't tell, please, 'cuz I am a bit embarrassed about it.) She thinks I am the best mouser in the world and I don't want to ruin my image.

I have never met him before and I don't care to meet him again. He kept messing with my feet and I don't like that, not one bit! So, I hissed and hissed at him. I don't ever intend to go there again....never. The good news is that I lost two pounds. I look like a movie star! Big and beautiful!

It has taken a lot of time and patience to get them to understand what I want and need in my life. I just want to have my own way. Now, is that too much to ask? I think not! There are mice out there by the wood pile. It has always been my job to be the mouser....hence, my name, Mawse. (Okay, so Mommie doesn't know how to spell.) But, my silly brained little sister is too stupid to know how to catch a mouse, so the heavy duty jobs around here are up to me. There are also two gophers out there that need my immediate attention. If the door is not open, then, however can I do my job. HEY! This morning, Mom and Dad went outside to watch the sunrise and as they were coming in, I went out! I sat down, satisfied with my brilliant maneuver, and be darned if Mommie didn't force me to go back inside. What is this? I think she is just feeling grumpy or she wants to show who is boss. HA! She is a total pain in the asters and dandelions! Fine. Let her catch her own dang mouse. I'm going back to bed.

She has tears in her eyes, too. She looks like she has lost her best friend. When she laid down on the bed this afternoon, I did what I always do when she is hurting and I laid down with her as close as I could get.

I never saw an antelope before...they are sure speedy little critters! The best news of all, is that I got to go outdoors! Mommie was not going to let us out for a long time, but, she or Daddy stays near me. At least I get to go sniff the grass and check eveything out to my hearts content!

There are so many forest fires that thousands and thousands of acres of land are burned to a crisp. One area is by Pompey's Pillar which is the site of the only remaining evidence of the trip by Lewis and Clark. Clark carved his name on the rock that is there. One fire is only about four miles from where we are right now. And there was just an evacuation notice for another small town named Custer. One area is very close to where we used to live in Columbus, Montana. I am very glad we don't live there anymore, but, I feel so bad for the people that lost their homes over there.

But, I do find that I can write down my feelings easier than speaking them. It just seems to come out better. Right now, my feelings are that I am not a happy cat. I have had to sleep on the passenger seat in this stupid RV. My place is on the bed with Mommie. But, she got mad at me again, for picking on Dancer. Gads, the day that rotten cat showed up in my life was doomsday. I am not picking on her per se...I am just showing her who is the boss here. Why can't Mommie understand that? It is the way of animals. And there are people like that too. So what the &%$@% is going on? I am 8 years old and she is two.

Humph....I still haven't seen notification that I am CAT OF THE DAY or CAT OF THE YEAR from Catster. Can you just imagine that? On the newsfront of the homepage, it has been extremely hot here, in the 90's....I feel like a fried pussywillow. Dancer gets in the window of the RV and sunbathes. She is going to end up crispy and well done. Dad has the curtain pulled in the window so she looks like an oldtime shadow dancing show. She isn't too bright anyway. Myself, I plant me right underneath one of the air conditioners where it is nice and cool....and demand that there be ice in my water dish. The 4th of July is coming and if I remember correctly, it is going to be one noisy night and I am searching for a quiet place to hide here in the RV. So far, no luck. I wish I had my house back. P.S. CATSTER, let me know if you need my email or home address so I can get my message about my being the worldwide CAT OF THE CENTURY.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/172376 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 05:39:21 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/172376 This week Catster is celebrating Siamese cats.

So, I am looking forward to my letter from Catster telling me I am CAT OF THE WEEK OR CAT OF THE DAY OR....um-mmm, okay, DIARY PICK OF THE DAY. That would be pretty exciting! Mommie says that as crabby as I am lately, I will be lucky to be picked to be somebody's friend! Well,.....that's not nice! I am a nice cat. Dancer got her silly little evil grin and said, "You are not nice, at all." Mawse replied, "I am too! I just don't happen to like sharing my house with a tailless stupid looking cat!" "Stupid looking? Have you ever looked in the mirror?" "Don't push your luck, you moron!" "Moron? What is a moron?" said Dancer from wa-aaay across the room. "Heh, heh, heh....see?" said Mawse, "I told you so." "Well, if you are a Siamese cat, how come you got spots all over your back?" "They're lucky spots," said Mawse. "And I am going to be picked as something this week." "Yeah" said Dancer, "Butthead of the Week!"]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/170241 Sat, 24 Jun 2006 07:18:11 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/170241 Mawse...my little friend...my guardian, my angel.

She always knew when my heart was hurting and she was there immediately with the comfort only a friend can give. If you read her story, you will see that she was also my little angel when I had breast cancer. She gave her all then. She babysat me during the terrible times of chemo and gave up all her minutes to make sure I was well taken care of. She spent three days in bed with me, for six long months, during the chemo....hardly eating and only getting off the bed to do her duties and a quick bite and licking my arm to soothe me...somehow knowing in the way that animals do, that I was hurting and needed her. No, she couldn't cook breakfast in bed or read me my favorite poetry, but, she did much, much more. She was my bestest friend. Maybe in some ways, she knew her 'debt' was paid, that in some silly way she owed me one. She would not have had another home...this was her last one. Please take the time to read her page and the details of what she did. She's my little lady and I wish just for one day, we could talk in language understandable to both of us, so I could tell her just how much she means to me and that I love her so very much.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/170114 Fri, 23 Jun 2006 19:51:32 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/170114 I have been a purr-fect A....ngel since we left on Tuesday this week.

I feel so bad as she likes me and thinks I am just the bestest cat. Well, I doubt she has that opinion anymore! I was mad cuz I saw that big black dawg out the door and I don't happen to like big black dawgs! I was a jerk. I wish I could have told her I was sorry. Maybe she will read this, I hope. "Aunt Dee Dee, I am so sorry. I luv you." And then this evening after traveling in the heat all day, we got home....well, sorta cuz we got no home now, and Tiffy came to visit and was petting my tummy.... and I blew up and scared her too! I guess I have PMS..(Purring Mainly Shutdown.) I love to have my tummy petted! What is the matter with me? I am laying here on the couch like a slug, too dang hot to care about anything right now. The cooler is going but, I would sure like to crawl into an igloo somewhere and stay through the summer. And I bet Tiffy wishes I would go too. "Tiffy I am so sorry. I luv you, too!" Well, tomorrow has to be a better day. Dancer is in the back part of the RV and I am in the front. At least that part is good, although it's a long ways to go back there and pound on her, just to take my frustrations out on something! Well, Like I said, mayve tomorrow!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/169091 Wed, 21 Jun 2006 19:24:34 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/169091 Some days...it just feels good to feel crabby.

This way, I can eat like a pig, all day long...been doing a pretty good job of that one! And I can take up most of her side of the bed...been doing really good on that one, too! I can take all the best viewing areas...and lay completely underfoot sideways, ACROSS the floor area, so she has to step over me....(I think she says a few very French words on this little trick of mine.)

She needs to get things done in the proper way...but, you know people, just because they have a thumb, they think they are lots smarter! MOM'S LIST: 1. FEED CATS UPON RISING. (Coffee is not #1 on my list.) (That's on your list and it is unimportant to me.) 2. PETTING AND BRUSHING WITH A NICE SOFT BRUSH WITH ATTENTION TO DETAILS, SUCH AS A NICE SNACK WHILE BEING BRUSHED. 3. CHANGE THE WATER. I PREFER IT FRESH AND IF YOU CAN, JUST LEAVE THE SINK WATER RUNNING. IT IS MUCH TASTIER THAT WAY. 4. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, TALK TO DANCER OR PET HER FIRST IN THE MORNING, IT REALLY TICKS ME OFF! I WAS HERE FIRST SO YOU WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ME FIRST. IT'S IN THE BOOK OF CAT ETTIQUETTE. 5. IF I AM TO LIVE IN THIS THING CALLED A HOME OR RV AS YOU CALL IT, I EXPECT THAT 2/3 rds OF THE BED IS TO BE RESERVED FOR ME. WHAT IS LEFT OVER IS YOURS. AND THAT THING YOU CALL MY SISTER, IS NOT TO PLACE ONE FOOT ON THIS BED. 5. THERE WILL BE NO MORE DIRTY LOOKS WHEN I AM WALKING AROUND THE ROOM TRYING TO DECIDE WHERE TO PLACE MY TOOTSIE ROLLS. I DO NOT LIKE THAT COVERED WAGON YOU BOUGHT TO DO MY PRIVATE DUTIES. YOU KNEW I WAS CLAUSTROPHOBIC WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU CUT A WINDOW IN THE SIDE FOR ME...IT IS STILL COVERED. I DO NOT LIKE IT. PERIOD. 6. SNACKS TO BE SERVED AT 10.00 A.M. JUST MINUTES AFTER BRUNCH. 7. MORE BRUSHING FOLLOWED BY A 2 HOUR NAP. 8. LUNCH AT 12:00 P.M.SHARP! 9. SNACK AND CATNIP AT 1:00 P.M. 10. NAP. 11. FOUR P.M. MARTINI OR CATNIP WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. 12. PLAYTIME WHICH IS MOSTLY JUST "ADORE ME" TIME. 13. DINNER FOLLOWED BY BRUSHING AND CATNIP AND TREATS FOR DESSERT. 14. NAP AT 7:00 P.M. SNACKS. 15. BEDTIME. 16. ROUTINE TO BE FOLLOWED PRECISELY THE SAME THE NEXT DAY.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/166895 Fri, 16 Jun 2006 12:52:21 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/166895 As you all know, My very own mother forgot my birthday yesterday.

I don't think Mommie much likes it when I do that now. She says there just isn't any place to walk when I do that! It's pretty funny here sometimes....they have a little bitty bathtub and when Mommie gets in it, her knees are almost up to her chin! And, the other day, she was taking a shower and washing her hair, and the water ran out! She heard a gurgle and a slurp and suddenly, there wasn't any more water! She managed to get her hair rinsed, but, just barely! I wonder what she thinks of RV living? She also found out there was a leak in the roof, near the air conditioner, in the bedroom...on HER side. It rained, a LOT!

Mommie says that the nice part about living in an RV....a house on wheels....is that we can live anywhere that we want to. Hm-mmm....does the senior cat have anything to say about this? I want a place that is not too warm, nor too cold for my tootsies. A place with no dogs or coyotes, no bears, no cats....preferrably NO Dancin' Girl, either. A place with lots of fat, dumb mice and a few fluffy, equally stupid birds. Lots of grass with a few smell good flowers, that are soft on my feet and tummy. Lots of cat stores, like all the good sponsors on Catster....Pet Smart, etc. Hey, instead of grass, a carpet of catnip would be excellent! Great idea! I am so-ooo smart! A fine meat store that has turkey and chicken, my ultimate favorites....and a delicious fish or two. Other than that, I am not too picky.

So, does that make me an auntcat? I think so. I am not too crazy about little personkitties. They are a bit too noisy and grabby for me. I am not a masocat, that's for sure! But, Mommie seems pretty excited to see them! I wonder why? I suppose because they are cute, huh? She suckers for cute little things! We are going to get a laptop, whatever that is. I thought that was what I am, but, Mommie says no...it's a small puter thingy....whatever that is....I just get so confused sometimes. Mommie says that happens to her too, at her advanced age. Does she think I am getting old? Am I? Hecky darns!!! SHE is 434 in cat and dog years, so she outta talk! I'm a young chick alongside her!!! Ha! Well, anyway with the laptop, we will still be able to visit Catster and I am so glad...and so is Mommie. Have a headbonk kinda evening...sweet dreams.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/156996 Sun, 21 May 2006 17:05:05 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/156996 I am feeling generous this evening.

I really do enjoy going fishing with my Ma & Pa, but, I darn sure like to come home to lay on my nice, soft rug. There was only one small problem with our fishing trip, they brought Dancin' Girl back home with us. I was kinda hoping that they just might leave her on the riverbank. No such luck. So. we are home. And Daddy only caught one fish. and it wasn't the one he wanted to catch. He wanted a paddlefish. They are a prehistoric fish and really quite ugly, but, they taste mighty good. I like them BBQ'd and deep fried, and baked and just any ol' way that Mommie cooks it! But, no fish this time. He caught a big sturgeon though. Mommie told him that with the price of gas, fishing supplies, etc, it was about $50.00 a pound! I think she was giving him a bad time. Do you think so too? I had to share my bed with Dancin' Girl, which really ticks me off, but, otherwise she acts like a maniac and does stupid things. She is so afraid of the big RV...I think she is just a fraidy cat! But, we are home...for awhile. At the end of the month, we have to move. Our house is sold. Waa-aauuuuggghhh....I have lived here most of my life and now what will I do?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/154676 Mon, 15 May 2006 06:26:42 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/154676 Well, sometime today or tomorrow, we are heading down the road so Daddy can go paddlefishing. They ... Well, sometime today or tomorrow, we are heading down the road so Daddy can go paddlefishing. They gotta be one of the ugliest fish in the world! We will be gone for a few days, so I thought I would letcha know why I am not going to be doing my diary. I am looking forward to going, but, I was kinda hoping that we could leave Dancin' Girl home. Mommie says, "No, we have to take Stupid with us too!" Only, she doesn't call her Stupid...she calls her Sweetie Pie and stuff like that. Did I mention that I do not like my sister? Oh, only about a hundred times....oh. So, we will be gone and I have to put up with Stupid. I hope we have lots of food and the bed is mine for sure. I wonder what paddlefish tastes like? I hope it is as good as rainbow trout....we had some of that the other day, fresh from the river. It was mighty tasty! So purrs for now....talk atcha later!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/154317 Sun, 14 May 2006 06:15:17 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/154317 Happy Mewo-ther's day to all of you!

And sometimes it is catnip or a new toy! There are wonderful things there, I know. But, I don't want to go. I have things to do here, like patrol the house and beat up Dancer if they forget to leave me upstairs!

It's not by chance that Gemini cats have a high rate of schizophrenia, they are the original multiple personality cat and are prone to indecision. These cats constantly change their minds - show them an open door and first they want in, then they want out; or they might want to be an affectionate lap cat, then all of a sudden they want to claw off your face. A feline of this sign is egocentric, unstable, and fickle. So as you can imagine, living with one is no cup of tea. In fact, owners of Gemini cats are well advised to look into the possibility of Prozac since a heavily medicated Gemini cat is sometimes easier to deal with. Or maybe just sedate yourself so you won't notice them. But while manic depression can be a problem, it is not all bad with these felines. They are generally quite eloquent, artistic, and intellectual. They can be found browsing bookcases and might even recite a line or two of their poetry (NB. if the cat is a performance artist, you might be required to adorn your head with spam for this). Tom cats born under this sign might also take up art criticism and review the neighbour's door.

I hate water even more than I hate Dancer! Mommie bought stuff for the grandkids for Easter. Did she buy me anything? I will see tomorrow and if not, I am going to be one crabby cat. I like to be crabby anyway, so it's no problem! Mom said we probably won't get a chance tomorrow to wish you all a Happy Easter, so here it is now...

Mommie said since this is Easter weekend that I needed to pick my SPECIAL FRIEND OF THE WEEK early. I have chosen GODIVA FROM FLORIDA as you can see on the right hand corner of my page. going along with the prevention of cruelty to animals, this poor baby was in horrible condition when her new master got her. Both eyes were in terrible condition and she may have lost one of them. Read her story if you can, and then you will know why we all need to be involved in helping the 'little critters'! To Godiva and others like you, blessings and love. Thank goodness Godiva was adopted by someone who loves her and appreciates a beautiful cat!

I know I wrote about it just a couple of days ago, but, Mommie asked me if I would mention it again, so I did, I do, um-mmm I will. My Mom feeds the stray cats here that need a bite to eat. Many kitties would have gone hungry if not for that! In fact, that is how she got Dancer....she was hungry and she came here to eat. She was eating bread that Mom had put out for the birds. I know bread is not one of my fav things and most cats are not totally nuts about it, but, when you're hungry, you will eat about anything! So, please be kind to animals and help them in any way you can. It's as simple as putting out a bite to eat if you see one that is hungy. And, of course, the very most important thing of all is, NEUTER YOUR PETS! Too manyare being put down day after day....and it doesn't have to happen if we all do our part. Dancin' Girl and I bravely went in for our trip to the doctor....of course, we didn't know what was going to happen, but,..... HEY!!!! You mean all this started because my Mommie was being nice? That I didn't have to have this stupid cat living here? That's why we got Dancer? I wanted to be an only child/cat!!! HEY, MOMMIE-EEEEEE!!! I gotta talk to you-oooo.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/142577 Thu, 13 Apr 2006 17:32:25 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/142577 Dancer is acting like a complete idiot cuz she has music on her site!

I think the wind might have even blown little dainty me away! It was that bad! I don't like wind as it messes up my pretty fur and tickles my ears! My tail gets to whippin' like a fishin' pole with a 30 pound fish on it! So, I just laid back and tried real hard just to rest.

This is somet ... I see that Catster has mentioned that April is Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month. This is something we all need to be aware of and help to do something about. Sadly, this morning I was reading a story about a young dog that was given for a Christmas gift and then the people found out that it would not be allowed in their apartment building, so they intended to put it down. This type of thing happens all the time. Easter is a time of giving baby chicks and rabbits to children who have no idea how to take care of them and when they grow up they are no longer "cute", so, much of the time, they are given away, or 'disposed' of. Many times a kitten or a puppy is given to a person who really didn't want it, or can't really afford to give it proper treatment and then they are just more or less thrown away or sent to the pound. IT ISN'T FAIR. IT ISN'T RIGHT. It is up to all of us to do something about this and help creatures that can't help themselves. If you see an animal being mistreated, call the local ASPCA. So what if it is your neighbor, friend, co-worker? Would you let them treat your pet this way? I didn't think so. WE ALL NEED TO BE INVOLVED. And, by the way, the puppy that was going to be put down... it was bought by a group of school children who cared.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/141606 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 09:20:06 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/141606 I am bored stiff.

Here it is, Springtime, my favorite time of the year, and will they let me out? NO! I am just sick of this. Someday I will just run away from home and then they will miss me and treat me like an adult! Gads, I could understand if I were stupid like Dancer, or just a young kitten that doesn't know anything, but, for hiss sake, I am 7 years old! There were two deer outside this morning, eating grass. I like grass...a lot. Did I get to munch on any of it? NO! I am just so-oooo bored!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/140817 Sun, 9 Apr 2006 13:23:00 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/140817 Moxy, from NY is my friend of the week.

Moxy was found in a dumpster as a baby. Eyes were crusted and one missing. This poor animal then was adopted by someone else, who had allergies and was going to put Moxy to sleep. Boy, that's using up way too many of the 9 lives allotted! But, that is when Super Master stepped in! And now Moxy has a loving home and people who genuinely care! Purrs and lots of love to Moxy!

She is beautiful....and still has the capacity to love although I wonder if I were her, would I want to? She was badly abused by a previous owner.

One is MY FRIEND OF THE WEEK and this week it is Circles. For those of you who don't know Circles, she now has a wonderful home....but, life was not always so good for Circles and she will always carry signs of that abuse. Sadly, some people do not understand that a cat or a dog or any animal is a warm living, loving creature. And they don't treat us good. Animals ask for so very little...a dab of food, a dish of water. A warm place to sleep and the most important one of all, is LOVE. Just a little, if that is all we can have. So here's a tribute to my friend, Circles, with a lot of love to your people for treating you like the precious critter you are!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/137607 Sat, 1 Apr 2006 09:50:56 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/137607 If you will check in the right hand corner....you will see that I just made it to 3000 looks on my ...

Mommie thought it was a bit disgusting herself....no sense of neighborliness, I guess! I was thinking about trotting out to fetch it, but, she wouldn't let me out the door. Dang! Doesn't she have any idea that having a cat leave a mouse for you is the supreme gift!!! What a meathead! It was nice and fat and juicy...my favorite kind...and now it is gone. What a waste, I say. Mom thought maybe they were trying to tell her something. That maybe they didn't need her darn food after all...that they could get a long quite nicely by themselves.

She is so stupid that she doesn't even have a tail! No tail! And she gets picked to be a special cat! Well, they just feel sorry for her. If they really knew her...it would be a much different story.

Mommie says she will take care of the outside cats and feed them as she is an animal rescue lady! Just perfect! Mom was worried about that and also whether someone would shoot at "her" deer. She won't have to worry about that either as the woman said that she will shoot at anyone who wants to do that! Mommie is happy! We don't have to move until June...so we have a while to love our house still. I will miss it as I have spent most of my life here. I know Mommie will too and all the deer and other critters who visit with us. I like the chipmunks...they taste good, but, I also know Mommie will break my little neck if I eat one! Mommie liked the lady a lot and me too. She tried to pick me up but, I weigh a lot...well, not too much...but, I just know she thought I was beautiful. Much, much prettier than Dancer. Have a purr-dee great evening.

She makes me sick with her cute little ways. But, about the toy....it was the coolest thing you ever saw! Looked just like a real mouse and let me tell ya, I am one fine mouser! I saw that thing heading across the floor, and I just lost it! I ran over and tackled it and kicked it half to death, before I realized what I had done! Oh, gads, the embarrassment! I feel so literally stupid! I still feel stupid! It was a toy for heaven's sake...just an dumb, little, stupid toy that Dancer, of all cat's would like...not a dignified, restrained cat like me. They have taken my dignity away with a fur covered mouse toy! I crawled under the bed with embarrassment and Mom had to practically drag me out this morning! NEVER AGAIN......well, maybe just once. It is quite lifelike and I do need some practice.

Dancer has been giving me such a bad time for weighing a lot, but, yesterday Mommie and Daddy weighed her little fat butt and she has gained four whole pounds! She was pretty scrawny when they brought her in here and it was easy to whup her butt! I like that! But, now she weights 10 pounds! That's pretty funny, so she better not give me a bad time any more about what I weigh! When I saw Ma N Pa doing the scale thing, I knew what was gonna happen and dummy just sat there with a dumb look on her face...(Ha! She always has a dumb look on her face!)...and Mom picked her up and weighed her. NOT ME! I am much smarter than that!

They are getting old...really, really old and they decided that if the realtor people can't find someone to buy our house, then they will do it themselves! Why can't realtor's do the right follow up and the things they are supposed to do? Mom and Dad wanted to change the price on their house, and the broker said they couldn't unless they had done a lot of improvements... well, duh...IT'S THEIR HOUSE! And Mommie told her that she wanted it a bit higher priced to begin with! And the people who wanted to buy it wanted them to pay for an engineer to come out and check the foundation. UM-MMMMMMM...somewhere in the contract it stated that they would have to pay for the inspector and any advisors.....NOT my Mom and Dad! Then, they were defunct on their time schedule that the company had written up and the realtor didn't do anything about that....UM-MMMMMM. Am I missing something here? Mom said that the company would make over $15,000.00 if the house sold! That would sure buy a lot of catnip! Now, Mommie is wondering just what it is that they do for their money? So the listing is cancelled and Mommie has a lady coming over today to see the house. I betcha Mommie can sell it!

They are not too happy with the situation, as it is the second time it has happened. What a mess! Mommie thinks she will just sell it online herself. They are sick of all the people who don't seem to know what their job is! I mean, why bring people out to see a house when they do not want a two story house? Or they can't afford to buy a house in the first place? They have a beautiful two story house on over twenty acres, with lots of pines and beautiful wild animals. It is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of town. The neighbors are the greatest and it is a very caring, safe little community. So, they will just do it themselves. Enough is enough, Mom says! They want to get in their RV and go fishing.

I was sitting by the sliding glass door and I ran out to sniff all the beautiful fresh smells, and Mommie made me go back inside! Drats! (Stoopid Mom!) But, later on daddy went outside and didn't pull the front door shut and I managed to sneak out again! For all of about 3 seconds, when Mom walked back in the room again! (Stoopid Mom!) I am so angry! It is beautiful out there and the air is so sparkley clean and all I want to do is look and smell all the good stuff! She thinks I am a sissy pants like Dancer and that I can't take care of myself if a bear shows up. How big can a bear be anyway? OOPS! I guess they are rather large and like the taste of small critters like me. Okay, and so there are Bobcats and cougars too...and coyotes. How big is a coyotes mouth? I am rather large...would I fit in a coyotes mouth? I prefer not to think about that! So, now I am sitting by the sliding door again, wishing I were out there where the sky smells like catnip heaven. Maybe, just maybe, I can sneak out again and get a sniff. I hope so. I'm tired of smelling just people and especially my sister Dancer.

I know she misses the time that she does it, but right now there have been more important things to do...(Important? More than my diary?) Okay, I am trying to be big about this, but, truly, I am quite disappointed about it all. They had work to do on the house to get it ready to sell, which by the way, is finally sold. Then they had to show it at a moments notice. And now it is Christmastime and she is busy with that! Well, I will keep the Christmas spirit and not complain, but, I feel like a red-headed step-cat here! I will write more later on, after Mommie wakes up more.

Well, right now it is 50 degrees less than that! Only 16 degrees this week! Br-rrrr... We have carpet on the floor and I am very glad about that, but, I sure wish we had that nice flooring that has heat like the neighbor has in their house. So if Mommie is listening, you might want to put that on my Christmas Wish List. Hint, hint. My feet get pretty cold and I don't like that at all! I just have to spend more time on the bed...not that I mind that at all, but, when I am forced to get off, it sure chills me to the bone. Maybe some nice fuzzy cat slippers...do they make such a thing? Would I wear them anyway? Would I look stupid in them? I am such a bee-oo-ti-ful cat that I just can't allow myself to go around in stupid stuff. (Like Mommie does...hee hee.) She wears these big dumb looking slippers and fleece robes, and she looks like she is straight out of the Artic Wilderness. Now, not that that is bad...(have to watch what I say as Christmas is coming, ya know.) Anyway, warm floor, slippers, fleece cat's pajamas, Warm stuff....pul-lease! Oh, and a bit of catnip and more food, (NO diet) and a new soft blanket that doesn't have Dancin' Girls hair on it.

I have to make a bug patrol since Dancer can't do anything right. Yesterday morning Mommie saw a nasty one. It was sitting right on the floor NEXT TO DANCER.....to show how dumb she is. It scared the pants off Mommie, not that she was wearing any. It was very early in the morning and she was trying to get a cup of coffee. EEEEEK! She also wasn't wearing any slippers so she couldn't step on it. So she slammed a little black pot on top of it! When Daddy went downstairs he asked why that little black pot was in the middle of the floor? She told him there was a spider under it. She heard some muffled giggles and then he hollared back, "So what is this then? The new Revere Ware Spider Trap?" HAhahahahahahah...Daddy.

Mommie was reading about wildcats, our ancestor's. she wanted me to share this info with you: History All cats belong to a family called the felids and were thought to have evolved 12 million years ago. Domestic cats originated from African wild cats, which they are still closely related to. The first domestic cats were thought to have lived 8,000 years ago in Cyprus. Early settlers must have introduced the cats to the island, as there were no wild cats present. Cats are depicted in Egyptian paintings and sculptures from 3,000 BC. They were used to control pests in grain stores and came to be worshipped by people. Anyone who killed a cat was severely punished and cats became so respected that when they died they were often mummified and entombed with their owners. From Egypt, cats were taken to Italy after the Romans invaded in 30 BC. It is thought that the Romans also introduced cats into Britain. Cats suffered a great deal in Medieval Britain. The people believed that they were associated with witches and the devil, and they were often tortured and burned. Cats in the Far East faced a happier life - they were seen as a sign of good luck and many of today's breeds originated from here. In Islam, cats are a symbol of purity. Life span Average lifespan is between 9 and 15 years, though they can sometimes live for over 20 years. Distribution and Habitat in the wild Wild cats can be found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica. They occupy a range of habitats, including forest, jungle, grassland and mountainous regions. Behaviour in the wild Wildcats (Felis silvestris), closest relatives to the domestic cat, are highly adaptable predators and although their main diet consists of rodents, they also feed on rabbits, hares, birds, amphibians, insects and reptiles. As they rely on small prey items, wildcats need to hunt regularly throughout the day to get enough food. Wildcats are solitary and both males and females maintain territories. Males overlap ranges with females, but females will not overlap ranges with other females. Wildcats mate in February and March and after a gestation period of 63-65 days, females give birth to 2-6 young. The young stay with their mothers until they are 6 months old, but may stay with their siblings for a while longer. Wildcats are nocturnal or crepuscular (active during twilight hours - dawn and dusk). Wildcats cannot roar, but they do use a variety of other sounds to communicate including growling, mewing, purring, hissing and spitting. So now you know. P.S. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR ME FOR THE BADDEST CAT!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/88998 Tue, 1 Nov 2005 19:03:18 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/88998 Well, Mommie didn't have a big party today to celebrate November.

That's not fair! Mommie said to Dad that she sure wished we had Trick-or-Treaters here...something about ghosts and goblins. Now why ever would she want things like that here? She said it is just too far out of town to have them here. Well, as far as I am concerned, that's just fine! Dancer is already a witch and I am going to be a B-b-b-Bad Cat!

Then, these strangers come to our house and look all over and snoop and one even came into the bedroom where I was sleeping today! Tsk! I couldn't believe the nerve. Well, so I thought I better listen up and figure out what is going on here. It sounds like to me that they are going to sell my house. My house!!! Where will I live? Do I have to become an outdoors cat like Dancer used to be? Will I have a warm bed and FOOD? Where will I sleep? Where will I hide when I am in trouble? Egads! This is terrible, just terrible!

I am not about to get trashed by a six pound weakling! So we were raising, you know what, screaming like banshees, and WOW! Mommie came down the stairs, much faster than she should at her age, and grabbed the dreaded flyswatter! I HATE THAT THING! I got about two swats before I managed to get up the stairs....I don't know about Dancer....I hope she got ten! Mommie seems to have a tough time catching her. Mommie is a bit slow at the ripe old age of 427. Mommie also doesn't hit very hard....nan ner nan ner, that didn't hurt!!!!

Mommie said it is too early to post this, but she said as old as she is, she would probably forget at Christmas time, so she told me we would post it now, so you could enjoy it! She got it from her friend Merrilee and wanted to share with everyone! The 12 days of Catmas! On the first day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... A carpeted cheaply home-made cat tree. (Feeble attempt by the Big Owner to get me off his bed where I take up most of the space. Sorry, no go.) On the second day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Two catnip toys. (They were destroyed within minutes. Next...) One the third day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Three nuggets of Pounce. (Stingy humans.)(After they went to bed I knocked the can over and ate the rest.) On the fourth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Four furry mice. (Fake, what a disappointment.) On the fifth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Five small lattice balls. (They made such an irritating noise on the hardwood floor the Big Owner took them away the next day.) On the sixth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Six floppy stuffed Beanie Dalmatians. (95 to go. Big whoop.) On the seventh day of Catmas my human gave to me ... Seven Pet Food Covers. (Hold on here, buckeroo. I eat a whole can of that stuff at one sitting. Covers suggest I won't be doing that anymore? Over your dead body.) On the eighth day of Catmas my human gave to me ... Eight Hairball Toys. (Looks just like the real thing.) On the ninth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Nine humans dancing. (Trying to not step on the fake hairballs.) On the tenth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Ten balls of twine. (Old reliable. Z-z-z. I may knit a noose for the Big Owner.) On the eleventh day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Eleven minutes of scratching. (It's about all the Big Owner can handle before strands of hair fly up into his nose and make him sneeze all over me.) On the twelfth day of Catmas my humans gave to me ... Twelve human hugs and kisses. It makes up for all the rest.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/80378 Sun, 2 Oct 2005 05:26:40 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/80378 Yup, it's mighty early and I am feeling sorta goofy at this time of day.

I heard a mouse in the wall, at least it sounded like it. I had to get up to investigate that! Dad has got the front porch almost done. He has done a very nice job. He says he isn't a carpenter, but Mommie told him, 'he is now!' I will be glad when they aren't so busy. It just seems like they don't have much time to pet me and rub me and I am feeling kind of grouchy about that. I miss my pettin'! So, I have been extra grouchy to Dancer, (who deserves it, by the way) and I attack her whenever possible, as soon as possible and every minute in between. She is such a sissy pants that she screams her head off and then Mommie hollars at me...as usual. She is the worst excuse for a wild cat that I have ever seen. She goes around the house and marks all my stuff. She marks the beds, the chairs, the couch where I like to lay. She marks the bathroom and the litter box....she makes me so-oooo angry! She even marks Mommie and Dad! The Jerk! I dream of murdering her. I dream of mice that weigh 20 pounds carrying her off into the sunset. I dream of her drowning in the toilet. I dream of those bugs she thinks she has to hunt, getting a possee to gether and hauling her fuzzy butt off to Texas or Alaska, or anywhere but here.

She has been feeding all these cats out in the yard and she got out that cage thing and put another Manx cat in it! OH NO! That's exactly how we got Dancin' Girl! I do not want another cat in this house. I didn't want the other one either, but for some reason my opinion doesn't seem to count much around here! She then hauled it to the shop, just like she did with Dancer and I thought, "Oh no, here we go again!" I was so disgusted that I just went up the stairs and got on the bed and covered my ears. I had a really good cry too. I don't think I have ever been so totally disgusted in my life! The last time it happened, I had no idea what was going to happen. Usually when she puts me in that cat cage thingy, I end up going to the doc-terror! So I thought that was what was going to happen! But No-oooo...we had to go and keep the dang thing! Well, to make a long story short, she ended up giving this one to my human girl sister and her family! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Praise kitty cat heaven!!! Whew! Purr-rrrr.

They had company over and they were sitting at the table talking and playing cards. It was mighty hot in the house so she had the window open above the kitchen sink. There was a nice cool breeze coming in and it was delightful! I sniffed the breeze and thought I could smell those stupid outdoor cats that Mom has been feeding. So as it is my duty to keep an eye on things around here, I climbed up in the window and sat there checking out the goings on. Suddenly, Mommie turned around and saw me in the window. So what is the big deal? It's just a window. Well, there was some words about 'cats on the cupboard' and a few other choice unintelligable words spoken....and ps-sst, splat! *~*! she made me get down! And all of this in front of company! I was terribly embarrassed...what is with this? I was not on the dumb old cupboard, I was in the window. Okay, so I had to get in the window by access of the cupboard, but it was only seconds.....for gosh sakes!!! SECONDS!!! My feet were clean cuz I had taken time to lick them and make sure they were not dusty. I felt like a 2nd class citizen....an ugly step-cat. I will never show my face again in front of those people. I do not get on the cupboards...I know the dumb rules. I am a very good cat. Once in awhile when no one is looking I may sneak a little look up there to see why I am not allowed there...and believe me there is nothing of interest to me!!! No chicken, no turkey, no catnip....just stupid human stuff, like cake or cookies. YUK! Gads, all this for a sniff of fresh air.

He always makes coffee the night before so when Mommie gets up, she just gets it started and does her trip to the litter box and comes out to a nice fresh pot of coffee! Only this morning she came back, it was really watery. He forgot to put the grounds in! He had surgery the other day and has been a bit forgetful since then. Mommie wasn't in the mood to wait for another pot of coffee to brew so she just added some instant coffee grounds! She was giggling at Daddy. On Monday when he had the surgery, he couldn't eat anything the day before or on Monday either, so Mom didn't want to eat in front of him. So after he woke from the surgery, he asked if she had something to eat. Then, about 15 minutes later on, he asked if she had something to eat again. Then, he asked again a little later, and as they were leaving the hospital, he asked her AGAIN! She just smiled and told him that, Yes, she had eaten. So I think he is still suffering a bit from memory loss. But, then, as OLD as he is, he suffers from that a lot anyway!

Well, she was looking upstairs for me and suddenly she raced down the stairs and out the door, hollaring at Daddy that she had left me out! She was pretty frantic and I heard her calling, Mawsie, Mawsie! She went around the house two or three times hollaring my name...and pretty soon her voice got kinda shakey and I knew she was near tears. I know her, she was imagining coyotes and eagles and bears, all having a nice fat treat....me. (Horrible thought!) Dad went out the door and began looking to see where I might have gone. Then I heard Mom run in the house again and run upstairs, still calling my name. I met her at the door. "Well, whatever do you want? I have been sitting here waiting for the door to open so I could answer your call. How's a girl supposed to answer when the door is closed?" I sure didn't tell her that I was under the bed. It's my most favorite hiding place and no one needs to know about it! It's nice and cool and quiet there and Dancer doesn't bug me when I'm there. It's my very own safe spot. Well, at least I know she loves me...silly Mom!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/64021 Mon, 1 Aug 2005 07:04:50 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/64021 There are four hummingbirds that have decided to visit our feeder.

They have a mini war to see who can get a few drops of sugar water. The fight is on! One of them is so territorial, he just won't let the others feed. He goes and hides behind the BBQ and then when one shows up, he chases it away! They chitter and chirp little songs...or maybe it isn't a song...maybe they are hurling insults at each other...I dunno! Mom darn near got run over by him the other day. Maybe he thought she wanted some of it!! He's really onery! She cleaned and filled it the other day and a bee showed up. Now, that is the one thing that my Mommie hates more than anything in the world is a bee. She grabbed it and came in with the bottle and got it cleaned and filled. Then out she went to hang it, and again along came the bee. I never saw my Mommie move so fast! She put it on the hook and was back inside in 3 seconds flat! Pretty good for an old gal!!! She told Daddy that she is going to get another feeder so the other hummingbirds can get something to eat. Humph....what about me? I like food!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/63802 Sun, 31 Jul 2005 07:23:38 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/63802 Mom saw the nicest sign one day on the highway, and since it is Sunday and they don't allow cats i ...

I got to roll in the dirt and get my pretty white coat all dirty! FUN! I strolled around the house and looked for some yummy critters to snack on, but I didn't see any...but that's okay, Mommie would have just hollared at me anyway, I went clear around the whole house...smelling the little wild flowers and sniffing the breeze. Smelled a bit like heaven! I sat by the end of the house and watched the people go by on the road. Then, I went to the back of the house to see what is happening there. Daddy has sure been busy. They have new siding on and there is some fresh new paint that looks like a chocolate malt! Mom loves chocolate...I bet she is the one who picked that color!! (I do...I did.) Then, I went and hid under the pickup and watched for a bunny to come by. Didn't see any but it was nice to just sit there like I used to. I wonder what happened to the chipmunks? I didn't see any anywhere...just as well...I would have had to taste one and then I would have had to go inside. Mommie called me to come in and I did go to the door...and laid down and rolled again. She didn't get mad at me, she just let me stay out!!! I couldn't believe my luck! I moseyed about some more and rolled in the dirt some more....ah-hhh, Heaven! Some days are just like that.... When I went to bed last night, I said a special prayer. "Thank You, God, for this very special day." Love, Mawse]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/61571 Sat, 23 Jul 2005 08:58:52 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/61571 I was so-ooo excited today!

I got a message from Catster saying I am on the diary page...so we hurried to see my bee-ooo-ti-ful self and I wasn't there! There is a little spot with an X on it and maybe that is me....YIKES!!!! I've been X'd!!! Darn, a few fleeting moments of fame and just my luck, it doesn't work out! Fine. My Mommie loves me. Daddy sorta does. I think I will go eat....again.

She started to clean the top of her cupboards, then, she decided that the cookie jars on top needed cleaning, too. So, she washed them. Then, while she was washing the cupboards on the top, she decided to wash them on the inside too. Well, there were a few items that she decided should be in the bathroom cabinet, so while she was putting them in there, she thought she might as well straighten up the cabinet in there also. Then, after she got that done, she went back in to finish the cupboards in the kitchen, and she thought, well, she might as well wash around the stove part at the top of the ceiling. So, there she was washing the ceiling. It has proven to be a much bigger job than originally thought...so she called her daughter and asked where she was....and wouldn't she really like to come out and wash the ceiling for her? She already knew the answer to that one, so she got back on the chair and washed some more. Daddy came in and said, well, since she needed a break anyway, she could come out and help him outside....nice of him, wasn't it? So, after helping Daddy for awhile, she washed a bit more on the ceiling and finally said, "To heck with this!" And so now, here she is sitting with a fan cooling her off, doing my diary for me. Nice isn't she?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60741 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 08:26:42 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60741 I mentioned yesterday about the names my Mommie has a tendency to give her pets, but today I want ... I mentioned yesterday about the names my Mommie has a tendency to give her pets, but today I want to tell you about a cat she used to have many years ago. His name was Stickers. She talks about him a lot. She got him from an old lady in a little town in Montana. There were a bunch of kittens running around and so Mom asked the lady if she could have one. I think the lady told her she could have them all, if she would like. But, knowing she wouldn't be able to get away with that, she finally chose just one. He was a Siamesey looking kitten, and Mommie said he was just darling! When she got him, she didn't realize that he didn't have a meow! He couldn't talk at all!! He was very small and just loved my Mommie to pieces! She kind of noticed that he wasn't any too brilliant because when he walked across the floor, he would get stuck and she would have to go undo his claws from the carpet. Or he would get stuck on the edge of the couch sometimes. He was pretty funny! When he would go get a drink of water, it would scare him silly to see his reflection in the water! But, being such a nice little kitten, if another cat was trying to have a drink, Stickers would pull the bowl away and "save" it from the critter in the water! He would be walking across the floor and if the cuckcoo clock came out, he would freeze on the spot...scared silly! He loved to play hide and seek with Mommie! But, sometimes he would get in trouble, because he would hide in a closet if it was open and then she couldn't find him...cuz he couldn't meow. So she would have to retrace her steps and go look for Stickers to see where he had gotten himself stuck. Silent Meow..meow. She said she called her brother-in-law to ask if there were a chance that Stickers was retarded, as he was a vet. He said that cats have the same ails that people do so it was possible. It didn't matter in any way, cuz she loved him with all her heart! One day, while Mommie was in the big city, the hired man had been going to the house to keep the fireplaces going, as it was very cold and it was the only heat in the house. He saw a pile of snow at the back door...."Humph, that wasn't supposed to be there!" So, he kicked it softly and there was Stickers! He had sat there too long and had snowed under! He picked him up and shook him a bit to be sure he was okay, and Stickers made his "Meow" face several times...(meow, meow with no sound!) Thank goodness he was okay. Mom said she would have fired him on the spot if something would have happened to her little Stickers! He loved paper sacks too and would climb in head first and then get himself stuck in that position. Mom would pull him out and he would be very thankful. He was a bundle of love from Heaven. Mom think of him often. It was a long time ago. But, she says he will always be in her heart. Love never goes away.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60480 Tue, 19 Jul 2005 09:38:06 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60480 My Mommie has always thought that her name was kinda strange...Cherri.

Well, how would she like to be a cat named Mawse...sounds like mouse? Now, that is downright weird! I don't much like my name at all! Mom has always had this thing for naming her pets really odd names. She had a cat named Piddy Puddy for Pretty Pussy. One named Coyote Bait, one named Orange Ugly, even though he was pretty! She had a dog named Shotgun...and Bob-de-Blob. And a fat cat named Gizzy O'Boles. One named Stickers cuz he stuck to everything as he walked. One called Sing Sing. She just came up with the darnedest names! Well, I guess my Gramma named me Mawse. She didn't like cats and she didn't like mice! Meanie! But, it is okay...cuz when my Mommie says it, it sounds kinda special....like LOVE.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60206 Mon, 18 Jul 2005 07:59:00 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/60206 I am one special cat!

Someone out there knows that I am just a special little girl! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Now I am just going to have the bestest day ever. Ha ha, to Dancer...she didn't get one! Tday it is supposed to be very hot...so I am going to do what I do best and just sort of hang out. I may nap a little, eat a little, and nap some more. A girl has to be kinda careful in this hot weather... we just mustn't overdo! I suppose it is even too hot to beat on Dancer a tiny bit. We even sat pretty close together by the window and watched the birds...and there was a hummingbird out there. Looks like a little helicopter! Wonder what they taste like? H-mmmm...don't tell Mommie I said that!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/59730 Sat, 16 Jul 2005 06:53:15 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/59730 It has been quite an eventful morning already.

I didn't mean to! I just had this silly little tickle in my throat and I was trying to clear it...I couldn't help it if I spit up a bit on the dang thing! I thought it was kind of pretty on the black! (She didn't.) Then she put the coffee on while muttering something under her breath....she won't let me talk that way! Something about 6 in the morning and some other words in French. Then, things got really exciting when Dancer came downstairs and Mommie went upstairs to do her computer while still muttering unpleasantries under her breath. Dancer and I DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER. It is just a mild form of sibling rivalry. I hate her guts and she hates mine. We were busy playing our fun little attack game, sreaming and howling like banshees....and boy did Mommie have a coniption fit! Whew! She was stammering something about the black carpet and something about stupid banshee cats...and came flying down the stairs....she wasn't smiling....at all! She headed in my direction and I headed up the stairs. Stupid stayed downstairs and I think she got a small bop on the head! Shows how stupid she really is...I was smart enough to head for cover. Then, she came back up the stairs, but I was long gone. I was in my bestest hidey hole and I knew she couldn't find me. It was all Dancer's fault. She is a jerk! I have a feeling we won't be getting any catnip today!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/57194 Wed, 6 Jul 2005 07:31:48 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/57194 I don't know what it is with people.

Mommie and Daddy usually take me along for those special days when they go somewhere in the rvvvvv....that house on wheels. I had to stay home this time and it didn't make ol' Mawsie Girl a happy cat! I suppose it is because of Dancer...she is such a pain! They left me upstairs and her down. I guess they thought that I would pound her pretty good if no one was here to watch. (I probably would have!) But, when they came home, I found out they had some stuff called 'fireworks' there. I don't much like the sound of that! I am not too scared of anything, but I do not like fire! They said something about sparkley star things in the sky and how beautiful it was! And I guess there was a lot of noise too! Phooey...I prefer a nice quiet place myself. So, just maybe I am glad I got to stay at home. Sometimes there just ain't no better place.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/56358 Sat, 2 Jul 2005 14:54:23 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/56358 My computer...opps, I mean, Mommie's computer, went *poof* and it has been weeks since she could w ...

No friends, no fun...life gets pretty boring when you can't even do your diary every day. I missed Catster so-ooo much!

I was checking out the new cats and I was just horrified at the story of a beautiful Persian cat. That poor cat was so badly treated that it has major health problems and will have for the rest of it's life. Her skull is deformed, she has had her teeth removed and suffers brain damage. That is not all.... Thank God it was adopted into a wonderful home, as it was going to be put down. Her name is Circles and she is from the United Kingdom, if you would like to read her page. It just infuriates me that animals are treated so badly. What is the fun in mistreating a small, helpless critter that cannot defend itself? I truly hope that there is a place in hell for people like that. And that there are cats and dogs there. And that the animals can give those people the same kind of treatment they gave to all the little critters they hurt. But, you see, that will never happen..... animals are not that cruel.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/52225 Thu, 16 Jun 2005 06:50:41 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/52225 Well, if sure wasn't much of a birthday party yesterday.

But, it was nice of her to try. I had plans of a nice dinner of chicken or turkey...well, that didn't work out. She cooked up a bunch of wormy things with sauce...she called it spaghetti. It didn't do anything for my palette....gag. Then, while she was singing my song, I was trying to keep an eye on that dastardly sister of mine...and Mommie kept putting a book in my view. I was ducking my head up and down trying to watch Stupid and finally, I just got off the darn bed and went into the other room. Dancer was grinning...I think she knew she ruined my day. She ruins every day of my life since she moved in here. It was really nice when it was a one cat house. It will never be the same. I thought that after the first couple of days she would get rid of her, but no such luck. Mommie had another kitty several years ago, and every time she walked across the floor, I flattened her! that worked really good...after a couple of weeks, Mommie sent her down the road to a new home. I wonder why Mommie cried? I thought it was kinda nice to have the whole house to myself. Well, I am going to hang about the kitchen today and try to get underfoot a lot. Maybe she will get the hint that I WANT CHICKEN!!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/51966 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 07:14:44 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/51966 Today is my birthday.

I was looking forward to a nice celebration, maybe some chicken or something really tasty like that...but things don't look too good. I jumped up in Mommie's lap to say good morning and she made some nasty remark about my weight. I think I am beautiful....nice and round and fluffy... really fluffy. Then there was some remark about a diet. Pray tell, what is a diet? If it is what I think it is... she can have one of those herself and let me tend to my own health and happiness. Diet sounds like torture and does not sound like a happy word. The first three letters of the word D-I-E are a good indication that the word is NOT good! I do not want one for my birthday....again, CHICKEN IS NICE. She and I will discuss this further...today I am only going to think happy thoughts.....so there! CATSTER is the most generous friend I have! Already they sent me treats! WOW! I got 25 treats! And also I got 5 paws from them! Ha! My own Mother has not given me a darn thing, but a bad time this morning! Treats from CATSTER and a diet from my Mommie. Although I am not supposed to say it,.....@#&*%!@*%.

She made the bed, washed and folded two loads of clothes, went outside and picked up a bunch of bark that was stripped from an old tree, sawed down five small trees that she wanted gone, pruned the fruit trees and pulled a bunch of weeds, cleaned the coffee pot with vinegar, helped Daddy with some things, cleaned the craft area in the shop, made dinner and did some other silly things. Now, I ask you....Is this what people always do? She is pooped and her back is killing her...again. Now, I hate to say this, but, she is an old lady. (If she asks, I didn't say that...okay?) If she were a dog, she would be 427 years old, for goodness sake! But, if she were a cat, she would be smarter than that! Cats eat, sleep and eat and sleep...not necessarily in that order. You don't see us working ourselves into oblivion. We take life nice and cool. No hurry. No problem! If something needs done, we get to it when we feel like it...after we have our nice little nap and a small bite to eat. I am not trying to say humans are stoopid...but they definitely are a little bit strange!

It was a blast! I loved every minute of it! Momm ... We went on a fishing trip for three whole days! It was a blast! I loved every minute of it! Mommie packed a nice lunch and brought my bestest litter box and some treats. We went a lo-oooong ways from home and I got up on the nice queen-sized bed and made my wonderful self comfortable. Well...that sure got messed up in a big hurry! Sissy Pants, my stupid little sister cat, was scared stupider. She was panting and shaking like the whisker's on a mouse. She is such a scardy cat! I was laying there quite comfortable with my lot in life when suddenly she jumped up on the bed and tried to cuddle with me. DANCER AND I DO NOT CUDDLE. EVER. It is a well known fact that I hate her guts. And a a moments notice, I will glady kick her butt! But, for some dumb unexplainable reason, I felt really sorry for her. Maybe it's because I was remembering my first time in a moving house on wheels. It was TERRIBLE! I hated every minute of it. And they took me from Montana all the way to Washington state for my very first ride. I howled like a sick dog! Now-a-days, I just smile and enjoy the ride...but I guess I won't ever forget how scary it was the first time. So, I let Sissy Pants on the bed and didn't even hiss at her. Mommie came back and held her and talked baby talk to her. Pretty soon I decided I should have a small bit of that loving so I cuddled up to Mommie's other side. We were actually rear to rear. Dancer turned around and smelled my fur, but I just pretended I didn't see anything. Otherwise, I would have had to pound her and with Mom there, it wouldn't have been a good idea. She probably would have thumped me! After a long while, Dancer settled down a bit. But, she spent most of the time under the bed. Hm-mmm....I think that's what I did the first time out. No, it was under the chair. You can see the picture of that below.

Mommie says we won't have to worry as we live very high up in the pines. I am so-ooo glad! It is good to know our pine trees are getting big drinks of water...they have been so parched and dry. Some of them are brown now and will probably never be pretty and green again. Mommie was so worried about the river. She says that all you need to do is drive through parts of Montana and you will see a lot of old dry riverbeds! She has lived in Montana all her life and she says she didn't ever remember the Yellowstone as terribly dry as it was! Well, it certainly isn't dry now. The floods have hit parts of Montana and are also scheduled for our county in Stillwater. The river is swollen like a nice fat fish! Tonight to add to the moisture, it is snowing! Yup...snowing!!! And they say when that melts off tomorrow as the weather warms, we can prepare for some major floods throughout the whole area. I am sure glad I am a house cat! I wonder if Dancin' Girl would like to go swimming?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/43121 Wed, 4 May 2005 16:15:41 PDT MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/43121 Mom and dad put two new windows in my bedroom upstairs!

How nice of them to do that, and I didn't even have to ask! The new windows bring in a nice burst of fresh air! And lots of light and sunshine! It is so pleasant and just perfect for a cat that needs to keep and eye on things. That's my job, after all! They have been so busy working on the house that we haven't had much time to update my diary entries...sinful, just sinful! But, you just knew I would be back to let you know what is going on, didn't you? I've been so busy that I haven't even had time to beat up Dancer. Now, that's busy!

She follows me. And stares at me. I know I am beautiful, but she doesn't have to stare! Then, sometimes I am just moseying across the room and she attacks me from behind! I hate it when she does that! So what am I supposed to do? Let that scrawny cat beat me up? I don't think so-ooo! Not in this lifetime! She better learn to leave me alone or else.

And then there was more of that %$#&@!*%!!! weird sort of human language that she sometimes does. Well, I can take care of that later on when she is downstairs.

Mom talked to the doc-terror veterinarian fellow and he said most likely we don't have fleas out here in our area. But, then she asked about ear mites and he gave her some stuff to put on us. Humph-hiss-sssss. That stupid cat! I knew she was nothing but trouble the first day I saw her. Will it never end? I have done all in my power to let them know that I do not want a sister cat, but, do they listen to me? NO! Will it never end?

Something else about, "Well, fishing is certainly out of the question today...." They finally opened the curtain on the big window and I took a peek! It was sure pretty with big fluffy snow covering the pine trees. But, like he said, fishing was certainly out of the question. Mommie says she remembers when she was a kid and it was April 4th and it snowed 4'. That is a lot of snow! She loved it as she didn't have to go to school. There wasn't any traffic and it was so-ooo quiet. They couldn't go anywhere and her Mom made a wonderful pot of soup and homemade bread. She said it smelled so yummy, that her mouth still waters when she thinks of it. Hm-mmm, speaking of food, I sure hope they have plenty of groceries. I would hate to run out just in case it snows a lot. I think I better rub on her leg till she gets irritated and remembers to check our food supply. "Mom! Check the food! Is there LOTS? Some for you and some for me?" I can't run out of food! Gads, that would be criminal! "Calm down, Mawsie," she says, "There's two more sacks of food for you and Dancer...don't worry."

Since I have 9 lives, I remember the Old Days when the lady had to put her iron on a hot stove and heat it up to iron her clothes. And the iron was really hot and heavy! And there wasn't any such thing as material that you didn't have to iron. You had to iron everything, ruffles and sheets and shirts and dresses! There are a bunch of those old irons in the bathroom downstairs...when Mommie lifts one of them, she just groans. So maybe what I said has gotten through to her. I think she knows how lucky she is. She told Daddy that her Mother used a scrub board and a wash tub to wash clothes when she was little. They had to haul water too and heat it on the stove. Mommie said the thing she hated the most when she was little, was putting the clothes on the line outdoors to dry...in the winter. Her fingers got so very cold! She said the clothes would freeze into boards that they would bring inside to dry. Sometimes they would prop the pants on the wall when they were stiff. I bet that looked funny!

Mom and Dad go out and buy all this huge pile of groceries ... good stuff gets put away and I never see it. It ends up on their plates. I watched the other day. I sat there drooling over all the floor at the yummy things that they had brought home. There was steak and different kinds of chicken, some yummy catfish (Boy, that sounds dangerous!) turkey and there was salmon and tuna. Ham and pork and bacon. And milk! Delicious, wet, cold, smooth milk! Some of it went in the refrigerator and some went into the big freezer thing out back. Most of it, I would just die for! What is with that? I love chicken and turkey! And bacon is mighty good when I can beg a taste of it. All we got was some dried up stuff in little pieces. She bought two more kinds at that fancy store where she bought the toys. Hard, crunchy, stupid, cat food. I want the good stuff!!!

I like having a nice soft bed to lie on and carpet under my tootsies when I go fishing. And a nice, private litter box too. Things like that are important when you are enjoying the great outdoors! There won't be any kitchen that I can get underfoot in either. No real food. Mom says that she heard of a girl who took along her curling iron on a camping trip. She said she wondered if she were going to plug it into a currant bush! Well, a girl has to keep up her appearance, no matter where you are!

No tail...and because of that deformity, she is a star! I still think she froze it off! She is acting like such a smarty pants today. She just goes around like a princess and smiles at me. Once, she even made a lunge for me. How totally dumb can ya get? Especially since I am not in the best of moods! And I weigh 3 times what she does. She got 10 emails with invites to be friends. I got one. People just don't have the class they once had in my days. When I was a little kitten, we had manners and talked nice, remembering our pleases and thank yous. We didn't leave our toys all over the floor for Mommie to clean up either. We had to walk miles in the snow up to our elbows to find a mouse to bring home to Mommie...and we did it happily. Because it was our job. Things have changed so much.

Dancer says, Oh yeah...well, if they like you so much better, how come I am the CAT OF THE DAY? Cat of the Day? You're wha-aaat? I don't believe you, you are such a liar...says Mawse. You're not either. Am so. Am not. Am too. Fibber McGee. Am not. Well, Dancer says smugly, I am and if you don't believe me, then just go ask Mom or look for yourself! You're too dumb looking to be Cat of the Day. They like pretty cats, like me. You haven't even got a tail. That is exactly why the picked little ol' me and not big fluffy you, because the Manx is the featured kind of kitty this week....says Dancer. Featured cat of the week....hm-mmm....well, alright, how much did you pay them, Stupid? I didn't have to pay them to be number ONE cat today, says a smiling Dancer. Well, then, you must know somebody there then. I do not! You're just jealous!...Dancer spat at Mawse. Am not. Am so. Am not either. Am too. Jealous? Me? Of YOU? I don't think so. Besides I am pick of the day for diaries. Your vocabulary stinks and you are stupid. ~*~Jealous, ~*~ jealous, ~*~ jealous!~*~ Dancer sings. Then, the fight was on.

I think they hate winter. So why do they live in Montan ... have to live in Montana! There are places in this world where it is Spring and Summer almost the whole year! In Montana, it seems like it is Winter and Fall all year...well, except when it hits 100 degrees and stays that way for a month! But, really, it is warmer in other places. When we are digging out of the snow, other places have roses blooming and daffydills laughing! Okay, I have to give them credit. There is some talk of moving here and living in a warmer climate. I think old people just always have to do that. Something about their old bones and all. (I hope Mom doesn't read this....she might not like it.) I just want them to be happy and making myself happy is nice too. They have a rrrrvvvv...that is a house on wheels that has a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. I also have my own kitchen and bath area...but, I sleep on their bed. The rrrvvv goes anywhere they want it to. Dad just gets behind that big wheel thing and points it where he wants to go. Mostly he just wants to go fishing. I love to go fishing with them. There is one place we go that has these little fat critters Mom calls go-fers. I like to get out and smell their houses. They smell quite delicious! I check for birds and worms and flowers and sometimes find a nice cool place to lay under the rrrvvv. Sometimes they catch a fish, but I have never seen one close up. That is on my list of "Must Do" things for this year. It sure gets Mommy excited when she catches one of those fat fish. Dad always catches more than she does and she pouts a lot. She says she caught the biggest one last year and Dad says that he caught wa-aaay more than she did! She sure gets a funny look on her face when he says that. She thinks he is a smart a-leck! It has been really nice and they sure want to go fishing now....but most of the water in this area is frozen up so they will just have to wait. And so will I. But, it is a good time of the year for dreaming, isn't it?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/21519 Mon, 24 Jan 2005 08:04:22 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/21519 Oh, hot cat!

Mom opened the door to feed the birds and I stepped out into the snow. Yup, I did! It wasn't very deep near the sliding door so I ventured out a bit....not too far as it is pretty deep out there. I shook my toes and made little stars out of them. Br-rrr....it's cold! Snow always looks so soft, sort of like a fluffy summer's day cloud! But, I don't imagine that a cloud is that dang cold! She was standing there watching me, laughing at my feet going spaz on me, then, suddenly she was gone! GONE! I panicked and scratched at the door. My feet were so-ooo cold it was hard to lift one to scratch. But, I managed. No one showed up. Was I just left there to freeze in that nasty cold and snow? It must have been at least 38 degrees out there. I was devastated that my very own Mom had just left me there. Freezing, alone, hungry and scared. Really, really hungry. (I love to eat!) I stood there pitifully for hours and hours. I thought I was a goner. Then, suddenly, there she was! My Mommie! My very own Mommie! My hero! She opened the door and I crawled in on my last leg....starving and somewhat listless from the cold. I gave her a look to let her know how hurt I was that she had deserted me and she said, "You silly thing! I was only gone for a minute!" Oh, well, it felt like hours. I think I will wait to go outdoors again when the temps are near 80 and there isn't any snow. I hate snow!!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/20029 Mon, 17 Jan 2005 07:51:21 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/20029 I was just mewsing some of the strange facts of life.

Mom had gone to bed and Stupid and I were pussy ... my bed so there really wasn't any question about it. I was going to sleep on it and that was that! So we got into a rather vocal discussion about it, as cats do...really vocal and really hissing loud.....and wow did Mom come unglued! She said something in the human form of cat language that sounds something like...&%#@&(^$% and grabbed a squirt gun and let Stupid have it. I was too smart to be that close! Well, then we had another discussion a bit louder....really, really louder and she repeated herself with a bit more emphasis....&%#@&(^$%..! ! ! and I hid under the couch till she cooled down. A few hours later, I hopped up on the bed and spent the night where I deserve to spend the night...by my Mommie! Then, at about 7 something she took a brisk walk to the bathroom to use her litter box and she took Stupid in the room with her to pet her. It didn't take too long before Stupid was tossed out on her ear. She managed to spill Mom's water all over the bed and floor!

I scratched at the door, because surely someone had made a terrible mistake, and all of a sudden I heard Mom yell at me, "Mawse, stop it! NO!" And that stupid tailless cat was in there with her! I am just plain old mad. Really, really mad. Yesterday, I couldn't help it. When Stupid walked by, I nailed her. She screamed like the sissy pants she is....Mom yelled, and I hightailed it up the stairs! I stayed up there for several hours and when I came down I just acted like nothing happened. (Worked pretty good, cuz mom didn't mention it again!) Stupid has been here now as of today, a WHOLE month. It just doesn't look like they are going to get rid of her. It is getting super cold outside now and I think it would be a perfect place for an outdoor cat....like she is supposed to be. Mom tells her she is glad she is indoors now. Says it is much too cold for little critters. Well, it is much too late to help her, she has already frozen her tail off.

Then, Mom had this other fancy stuff sitting around, a Santa Claus, a monster sized wreath and flowers all over and garlands, and towels and rugs with Christmas decorations on them...and outside there was this HUGE star and a sparkling tree...then on the other side was Santa again, with two children caroling and candles. Then, on their pick-up, they had a lit up wreath with big jingle bells! Boy, I am so glad this is all done. I hate my house to be in disorder. Mom moves things all the time and I have to carefully sneak up on them to be sure they are safe. My little heart thuds and flutters like a butterfly, but I try to act like I am not afraid. I want her to think I am really tough! After all, it is my job to patrol and keep things safe around here! So, like I said, I am really glad this is all over. My Mom is getting old and can hardly keep up...(don't tell her I said that!!) She sure looked pooped and has taken a lo-ooong nap today...almost as long as mine! But, the best part of it is...now she will finally have time to pet me more! And adore wonderful me!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/16084 Sat, 25 Dec 2004 06:41:12 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/16084 Mom and Mawse and Dad send a Merry Christmas Greeting to all cat lovers and cats everywhere!

The tailless cat! I saw her smelling on it and once Mom even caught her chewing on it! So, how do the ornaments get off the branches and UNDER the tree....BINGO! And, once again, I have been a perfect angel today...and the tailless cat has been hissing at me and following me from room to room, trying to cause trouble. Had I not had a manicure the other day....I would swipe her on the asterisk! She is a most disgusting excuse for a cat!

I know who to kiss up to in this house and I will remain forever the favorite cat in this domain! Mommy sat on the floor this afternoon to wrap Christmas gifts, as she does every year. I had my usual fun...got right in the middle of where she was wrapping stuff and laid down. She always laughs at me. I have to investigate every thing and make sure she has bought exactly the right gifts for the right people! I think she did a really good job of it, like she always does. I had to chew on a ribbon too as it is just one of our holiday rituals. Then, Mom wrapped me up and so I crawled under the tree and Dad saved me and took the silly sack off of me! Silly woman! I have to jump in a box once or twice too, but this year there weren't any my size. I think they are making boxes smaller and smaller every year! All in all, it was a very pleasant day. I especially liked the part about the tailless cat getting in the dog...er...cathouse! Hilarious!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/14778 Fri, 17 Dec 2004 08:10:55 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/14778 Oh, WOW!

I have found fame and....oh...okay, no fortune...but, at least I got the recognition I deserve! I'm Cool! You might have noticed I live in Montana! I bet you think it is cold and snowy and wet here! See, that's what Montana people do. They want everyone to think it is nasty here in the winter...that way we get to keep it to ourselves. But, I wish I could share this special, beautiful morning with you. I am looking out the window and the sky is so-ooo blue, it almost hurts my eyes to look at it! Makes my whiskers quiver with the beauty of it all! And, last week it was clear up to 65 degrees! Don't tell my Mom I told you cause she was born here and they try to keep all this a secret! But, it is just so catgone pretty, that I just had to tell someone!

I didn't see where she trimmed that stupid cat's nails...what is the story here? Just because she only weighs about 5 or 6 pounds and I weigh a measly 15 pounds, does not constitute that I am the only one who needs her nails trimmed! And just because I am the one with a bad attitude and a nasty temper, should not mean I have to be the only one with short stubby nails! I am really much, more glamorous with the long Colliewood nails! I hate that tailless cat!

I would have my very own furdresser and she would style my hair in the latest of fashions! I would be sumpin'! I would have diamond and ruby and emerald and sapphire collars...none of those cheap necktie thingys Mom makes me wear! I would even have my own limo and several dogs for bodyguard dogs. Big vicious dogs that love cats, of course..not the taste, mind you...well, maybe I will get big bodyguard cats! No more dry catfood either! Steak and chicken and turkey every single day for the rest of my life! Sliced nice and thin for my dainty palate. Maybe one tablespoon of ice cream for treats...my favorite, of course, French Vanilla! Certainly, I would have to watch my girlish figure! But, it doesn't hurt to dream, does it? Oh, shoot! That's what I am doing...just dreaming....but, I guess someday I could still be Cat of the Week!

Meow! Things are really starting to look up around here! Mom and Dad got the mail today and I ... Lots of fun! This is not considered fun to Mom though...party pooper! She gets irked at all the tiny pieces of cardboard laying about. Grump! But, back to the mail!!! A dog friend of mine, named Trouble, sent us a gift! I have to share it though with Stupid, the other cat! But, my name is on it first!!! Mom put it under the tree and it sure smelled good. I guess it smelled too good, though, as she then took it and put it on the cupboard! Trouble is a puppy friend who lives in Illinois. He is a granddog of my Mom's dear, sweet friend, Merrilee! He's just a puppy, very small and very short! They should have named him Peter Dragon as he has a problem with the snow! But, what a nice guy he is to have sent a gift! I can't wait till Christmas! I can't wait for Santa Claws to come. He is a big fat cat that wears a red hat and jingle bells around his neck! He rides on a sled with eight tiny mice and you can usually see him in the sky about midnight, Christmas Eve! I, personally, have never seen him. Seems like I just can't manage to stay awake long enough to catch him coming down the chimney! He always brings the good stuff! Had I not decided to be a single cat the rest of my life, I think I would marry Santa Claws. That way I would have all the good stuff year around! But, life is good just the way it is. I don't have to lick anyone else's fur, or serve mice on a platter to anyone. I get to spend my meager allowance on just me... no sharing my catnip or toys or scratching post with some old geezer cat....like my Mom does. I can't wait till Christmas!!!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13699 Sat, 11 Dec 2004 10:22:36 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13699 I thought I would try to talk them into leaving that tailless cat in the house while they are gone.. ... I got the lesson! Dang that makes me mad! But, if they were just to leave her in the house when no one is home....well, then, things would certainly go my way, now wouldn't they? I am having my imaginings and it is wonderful! My claws will be honed to a nice sharp slice and my teeth, (cept the one I am missing) are nice and strong! I may not be a lightweight, but, I can run pretty darn fast! I have really good balance as I have a tail...unlike someone else I know! (Stupid lookin' cat!) I will call out to her in a nice little meow tone and invite her over to see my pretty blue eyes up close. It will go something like this; "Mawsie, what pretty big eyes you have. Mawsie, what pretty big teeth you have....MAWSIE-EEEEEE!!!" Yup, that sounds like fun! I have never seen a black and blue cat, have you? Oh, no! They are packing up to go..and they are putting prissypants in the shop again! Well, shoot. A cat can dream, can't she?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13626 Fri, 10 Dec 2004 18:26:23 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13626 They had to go across the state for a funeral today. Mom looked pretty sad. I had to stay home wit ... my thing and proceeded to scare the pants off the "kitten"! Hissed at her pretty good! She runs really fast for the door! My claws are quite a bit larger than hers...that is until Mom does her beautician thing and cuts them off, which might be pretty soon I am guessing! That's just all kinds of fun when she gets scared like that! Well, I think I better go find a place to tuck myself away for a few. Mom is coming down the stairs and I think she may be a wee bit mad at me.

That Other cat that lives in the shop, was so-ooo ... really top it all off, he looked and she was laying quite comfortably on the dining room table! She got the dreaded flyswatter! Oh, boy, was my Dad mad at her! He professes to be a cat hater anyway and that really made him come ungluded! Wow! I myself have never ever been on the table...it is just a golden rule that they can have their table, and I get my scratching post....and they know well enough to leave it alone! But, Miss Double Dumb Cat was laying there like some kind of queenie and quite comfy, it appeared to me! I know I could have went over there and told her to get her fuzzy butt off, but I thought it would be more fun to watch Dad do it! And boy, was it! Kind of like the 4th of July around here with all the fireworks! Dang, that was sure fun! But, Mom, she told Dad not to do that again, under any circusmstances. Something about she is just an outdoor cat in training and it isn't necessary to whack her with the flyswatter. What does she mean? I think that was a very good idea! I loved it, in fact! Probably the funniest thing I have seen in a hundred years! As stupid as she is, I don't doubt that she will try it again. Mom held her and babied her afterwards and she got chicken and other good stuff for dinner. I didn't even eat mine as the whole thing made me ill to my dainty little stomach! Outdoor cat, my paw. She's just stupid! I'll be having some pretty good dreams tonight....life is good!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13131 Wed, 8 Dec 2004 07:47:07 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13131 I had a lovely night. I got a late night snack of chicken, my favorite part, the white meat. I'm l ... I'm the favorite cat! Well, that's what I think, but she told Dad that she better keep her out there so I won't pound her fuzzy butt! Okay, so yesterday we did not have a very good day. What does Mom think? That I am going to let some stranger invade my house and be really happy about it? Not going to happen! And she talks that baby talk to her and calls her a pretty baby! Well, I have a tail and my eyes are a beautiful soft blue....I'm the pretty one around here! I just wonder how long this is going to keep up? Does she really intend to keep that thing? Oboy, life is getting difficult! She was telling Dad this morning that they will be going with their friends to the country to get a tree. Gads and holy cat whiskers....I hope they are not getting a tree for this house! There are trees everywhere now! We don't need any more trees! There's a big one in my living room, one in the bedroom downstairs and one in the main bathroom. Then, she has one in the upstairs big bedroom and some small ones in the other bedrooms! Where is it all going to end? This place is going to the dogs! OH NO.....NOT DOGS!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! Well, maybe one little cat isn't too bad after all!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13076 Tue, 7 Dec 2004 20:48:44 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/13076 Well...you can see I am not too important around here anymore! No one takes the time to even do my ... Merry Christmas to me! I don't think that was the least bit fair and I am not a happy catster! Grouchie old woman! Her back has been out for five days now and does she think it is necessary to take it all out on me? I am not the only cat here ya know...pick on the new one! Then, after our small confrontation, she picked up the baby and talked baby talk to her like she was maimed beyond repair...if I had planned to tear her to shreds, she would have been in shreds! (I planned to, but, I got caught! Dang!) I see how it all goes...now I am not her favorite cat anymore. I am just a little nothing from off the street! She even gave the other cat a piece of chicken and I didn't get one. She checked her all over for blood and gore...and gave her chicken! My chicken! Chicken is one of my most favorite things in the whole world. I am devastated! Fine, just see who will catch her mice for her! I won't ever again!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/12602 Sun, 5 Dec 2004 17:12:31 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/12602 Well, isn't this a fine how do ya do?

Then, after about 15 long stupid minutes, in she comes with that 'Oh, that little kitty is so darling' look on her face....going on about, "that is little Dancing Girl!" Dancing Girl? Already she has to name her? I get a name like Mawse and she calls her Dancing Girl? And, she eats, MY FOOD? Good thing they filled my dish back up or there would be some cat swearing going on here! She called her a Manx...what ever that is...I think she looks sort of stupid, myself, as she is a cat with no tail....now how can a cat get along with no tail? She must have terrible balance! And she looks stupid to me...Mom said she thinks she is so-ooo cute! Now, it wasn't bad enough that she gave her my dish of food, then, she slams my furry butt into the cold, icky shop, and if she doesn't think I heard her bring that awful critter into MY house, well, she must be high on catnip! I HEARD! And what's more, the dumb animal wanted right back out. Now, doesn't that show you how stupid she is? I am not stupid! I know the difference between a warm house and the 'cold on the tootsies' weather out there! Dumb cat. She better not even consider moving that animal thing into my house. I peeked out and Mom was holding her on her lap, trying to warm her feet. And she made some remark to Dad that she it so-ooo tiny. She can lift her with one hand! Does this mean she thinks I am fat? She doesn't exactly need a wheelbarrow to haul me around! Gads! Mom tried to tell me that the kitty needs a home, that the weather sometimes gets to 30 below here. So let her go find a home. This one is mine. She said that her little feet could freeze and her ears. Well, at least then, it would match her stupid tail that she doesn't have! She is just trying to make me feel bad. Well,...... Okay, if she can get her her own food and litter box, she can stay in here on the days it is 30 below. NOTHING MORE! I am a reasonable cat. And very sweet. And besides, Christmas is coming and there's a few things I want really bad!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11926 Wed, 1 Dec 2004 08:36:52 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11926 Ohmycatwhiskersmeowyeow!

I suppose you are wondering why I am so scared out of my wits...I will tell you, but, you must promise to never, ever tell anyone else...cat's honor! Last night, we were laying on the bed...she was reading a bit and I was snuggling, as is our habit. She got to fussing around and pushing at the pillow. Worse than a kitten. I was thinking that she would never settle down, when all of a sudden, she took the brand new pillow and tore the TAG off of it! THE TAG!!! Do you know what it says on the TAG? It says, 'DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW.' And it says a bunch of other stuff too. I think it tells about the FBI AND THE CIA and what horrible things are going to happen if you take the tag off. I just know she is going to have to go to one of those places like I lived in before...a sort of cat prison. Can't she keep her paws off things like that? And she gets mad if I scatch the old couch...it must be a 100 years old and she just has fits if I scratch it! Well, can't say I didn't warn her. I guess all I can do now is keep my eyes open and if any strangers pull up in the yard, I can let her know. I'll show her one of my really good hidey holes, too. Oops...I think she's too fat to fit in there! Well, there must be something. For now, I have the evidence hidden under the bed. It stays there until we move someday. Or until I find the glue or learn how to sew!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11842 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 17:18:24 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11842 It's scary down there. I hurried up the stairs tonight and hid, really good. so, far, no one knows ... That is why I am hiding! I am including a bit that Mom wrote many months ago, when Dad tried to cook chicken wings...mind you, I said, tried.

I WAS REALLY BUSY AND BEING THE HELPFUL KIND OF NICE GUY THAT HE IS, HE HOLLERED UP AT ME AND ASKED IF I WOULD LIKE HIM TO START COOKING THE CHICKEN WINGS. HEY, I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC! (I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPT AT RICE.) DUMB. "SURE, HONEY," I SAID, AND I GAVE HIM INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DO IT. EGG AND MILK AND DIP THEM IN IT AND FLOUR WITH SOME SEASONING. NO INSTRUCTIONS ON FRYING TO A GOLDEN BROWN, NICE AND CRISPY. THAT PART COMES EASY, RIGHT? WRONG! SO I WAS SITTING UP HERE THINKING, SURE HOPE HE DOESN'T BURN THEM. I STARTED SMELLING THIS QUITE UNIQUE FLAVOR WAFTING UP THROUGH THE AIR. HM-MMM...BETTER FINISH UP AND GET DOWN THERE. HE HOLLERED UP, WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH THEM? I YELLED," I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!" I WISH I HADN'T.....I REALLY WISH I HADN'T. I AIN'T NEVER SEEN CHICKEN LIKE THAT BEFORE! I DIDN'T WANT TO INSULT HIM, BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO PUKE EITHER. IT WAS BURNT. AND THERE WAS THIS COLLECTION OF STUFF IN THE PAN TOO. HE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT, THAT WAS THE REST OF THE FLOUR AND EGG MIX AND HE THOUGHT HE SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND THROW IT IN THE PAN, TOO. AND IT WAS BURNT. VERY BURNT. AND OILY AND NOT CRISPY AT ALL. UM-MMM, WELL, I CONSIDERED THROWING IT OUT, (THROWING OUT OR UP?) BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO INSULT HIM.....(YEAH RIGHT...I WANTED TO BEAN HIM ON THE HEAD WITH A BURNT CHICKEN WING!) SO I SCRAPED ALL THE BLACK STUFF OUT OF THE PAN AND PICKED OFF HUGE PIECES OF BLACK YUK OFF THE POOR DEAD BIRD...REALLY DEAD. (I THINK HE HAD BARBECUE IN MIND.) AND PUT IT BACK INTO A CLEAN PAN AND LET IT FINISH COOKING...THERE WENT CRISPY AND GOLDEN BROWN. IT DIDN'T GO TOO BAD WITH THE GREEN BEANS WITH BACON AND ONIONS AND MASHED POTATOES....IN FACT I ATE QUITE A LOT OF GREEN BEANS AND MASHED POTATOES. BOB REMARKED THAT IT TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD...CONSIDERING. I HATE TO THINK OF WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN HAD I NOT GONE DOWN TO THE KITCHEN WHEN I DID. FOUR ALARM FIRE! HE STILL HAD THE HEAT ON HIGH AND IT WAS A COOKIN' AWAY! DESSERT IS NEXT....1/2 PACKAGE OF ROLAIDS! A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MARVIN STEWART. TRUE STORY! So, you see now, why I chose to hide my little self away. I am not going to touch it, whatever it is. Besides, I don't much like Rolaids. They upset my tummy!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11712 Mon, 29 Nov 2004 17:31:56 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11712 Tonight at dinner, they had a nice steak, flavored rice, buttery corn and a salad.

Tonight, I am sitting on Mom's lap while she puts in my diary and butting my head against her arm. That really ticks her off. Also, I am pushing my hard little head up against her hand as she hits those little funny boxes on the keyboard....same effect. She sure gets hissy! It makes it a little more difficult to put the words in....she sure is cute when she's mad! Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to get her upset....not very. A little bite of that steak sure would have been nice, though. They did more stupid stuff to the house again today...more trees and fancy flowers and thingys here and there....looks like they let a whole pack of wild dogs in here with all the mess! I like my house neat and everything where it should be. It totally upsets me when everything is turned upsidedown. Then, I have to really be careful when I am doing my night patrol because everything has been moved! What do they think this is? This is my house too and I don't like it one tiny whisker! I just know I am going to bonk my head on something tonight during patrol. If I do, there will be such a cat howl that it will wake up everyone in the house... oh, not intentionally, of course. Heh, heh, heh.... Yep, just o-ooone little bite of that steak....]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11535 Sun, 28 Nov 2004 18:26:38 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/11535 I had such a good time today!

YAY.....I have people in my house again! And, best of all...I got turkey! I ... I got turkey! I just knew she would bring me some! It was delicious! (I try not to think of how the turkey got that way....sort of ruins it.) So, I have a nice full belly and I was pretty happy till I got up on Mom's lap! I smelled CAT! Not ME cat, other cats! Dang traitor! She has been hugging up to other cats! While I am spending my time alone! And I heard her talking with Dad about the little black kitten that slept with them last night! Slept with her...? That's my job! I sleep with her, no one else! She said that the kitten kept getting up on the bed and she reached down and got it and put it by her belly and listened to it purr. Said it purred loud, too. %#^&(*$% Stupid kitten! Said it was cute, too! %#^&(*% Stupid, dumb kitten! Cute? They are nothing but a pain in the ...ask me about it! They are ALL a big pain! And I know there were two other cats there that she probably held and kissed too! STUPID CATS! and knowing my Mom, she probably Hugged the STUPID DOG. %#$@&^(%$*! I jumped off her lap. Let her come looking for me. She won't find me for quite awhile! She has no idea about some of the terrific hidey holes in this house! And here I was, all excited and happy to see her and be on her lap. I think I will sleep on one of the other beds tonight...see how warm she is then. Maybe, she can go get the other cute kitten to keep her warm!

When she laid down for her nap, I got up there and cud ... two turkeys! So there is turkey in my future somewhere! YUM! My Mom told me about my Aunt Gale's cat. His name is Mr. T. She says that stands for Trouble...and that's what he is! He smacked my Mom one time when they went there to visit. If I ever get my claws in him, he will be sorry for that! Meanie! He is the boss in their house. I tried that a couple of times...I thought how nice it would be to be the boss of the house. My Mom made me think a lot differently about that situation. In no uncertain terms do I get to be the boss! If I even think about scratching or biting, I am the one who gets smacked! Poor me. She won't let me have any fun at all. I can't get on the table or the cupboards, either. She can be such a grouch! One night she was really happy that I jumped up on the stove. I spotted a mouse there and zeroed in on it! Got it too! I'm good...really good!She told me I was a very good girl! I have a lot of cousin cats. My Aunt Dee has a lot of cats! She has a young one that they call Taz. He is a real wildcat! He isn't scared of anything! Not even dogs, cuz they have a really big one that lives there! He isn't very big yet, just on attitude! I will post their pictures one day...just so you can see I am the most beautiful cat of them all! Well, my Mom thinks so! I'm glad we don't have a dog. Smelly old things! And they eat everything in the house! They are the dumbest looking things too. My sister Shelle brought their dog out the other day...his name is Hans. I don't like him, but Mom tells me I have to be nice cuz he's her Grand Dog. The heck with that! If I have to be nice, I will just run upstairs and spend the time alone. Stinky dog. He messed on the rug outdoors and left four tootsie rolls there. I told her dogs aren't any good! Well, I hear the dinner bell ringing so I best rush downstairs and see what's on the menu at Mom's Cafe! Meow!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10536 Sun, 21 Nov 2004 17:35:58 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10536 I just got to thinking today about Mom and Pa leaving for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. Not only will ... I won't get any turkey! I LOVE TURKEY! It is on my list of most favorite foods in the whole world! Turkeys only get cooked a very few times a year...which I am supposing that the turkeys are glad about that...but, I AM NOT! I am most unhappy. I am thinking about calling the Humane Society about this. This is the worst kind of abuse that a cat could have to put up with. I am sure that I will waste away to nothing in that period of time. My Mom always says that I could live off the fat of the land for quite some time....she's got a lot of room to talk! But, if I am to live off the fat of the land, I want turkey fat! I am just sure that she will have turkey that day....lots of turkey. Will she think of poor little me at home without turkey...no people to adore me...no nothing..... Well, fine then! I will not lick her hand to let her know I love her, nor will I lay real close to her to keep her warm for the next few days. I will just go upstairs to the bedroom and pout. I will cry a lot. I will act really sick and she will see how wretched she is for leaving me with no turkey. Tonight I will climb up on the bed and stomp all over her and laugh my head off! (Hope she doesn't throw me out of the room like she did before.) I am going to beg her to bring me a plate of turkey home...maybe Aunt Dee Dee would do it, she loves cats! Well, talking about all this food has made me a bit hungry so I think I will mosey downstairs and have a bite to eat. I suppose turkey is out of the question.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10414 Sat, 20 Nov 2004 15:38:46 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10414 Well, whadduya want first? Okay, how about the bad news? I woke up this morning, all warm and f ... OHMICATNIPANDWHISKERS! It had snowed last night! SNOW! I HATE SNOW! It is cold and wet and all my most unfavorite things! I shivered and said a few little nasty things under my breath that I didn't want anyone else to hear....really, really bad things in catese. I closed my eyes and opened them again and it was still there and more was coming down! SNOW! That means I will have to stay indoors for months...maybe years! So that is the bad news! But, the good news is really good! I think Mom has decided not to get another kitty at this time. So I continue to rule the house with my iron whiskers! I am still an only child with all the privileges that go with it! Do you realize that if she had brought another kitty into this house I would have had to share my pettings, my brushings, my FOOD and worst of all...my CAT BOX! I do not want to have another cat in my box. It has the distinct odor of my own little self and I think it smells just fine...but...another cat!!!???? YUK! EEEYEWWW! But, that might have been fun to watch Mom gag a lot! Heh, heh! So, all I can say about this whole thing is....YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~~~ I AM ONE HAPPY CAT TODAY....COLD, BUT HAPPY!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10260 Fri, 19 Nov 2004 12:07:12 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10260 It is beyond me to beg for someone to send me paws...and treats. I will just feel totally left ou ... IMPOSSIBLE! It just gets me so-ooo mad! I have found that if it is all clumped up in there that it is much easier to go deposit a couple of small tootsie rolls on the colorful carpet by the bathtub! Saves on my beautiful fingernails and I don't need to worry about chipped nails and getting a new manicure! But, it sure causes some major bellaring and fancy words from the lady I call, Mom! She even dragged me back in there to show me where I had put them and showed great displeasure about it! I don't know why she did that...I knew exactly where they were. I put them there! Silly woman! But, like I said, I have her well trained as she immediately cleans up things and moves that hard clumpy stuff out of my litterbox! The other thing that gets pretty interesting around here is when I go outside for a stroll, I usually lunch on a bit of grass, here and there. For some reason, within about an hour or so, it just comes flying back up and out! HACK-BARF-SNEEZE-EEYEEWW! Makes my little eyes water and my nose run! Mom turns the funniest shade of green and calls for her hero to come clean it up! She has one of those weak human type stomachs and can't deal with things that are really quite normal for a normal cat! I always feel much better afterwards, but it usually leaves my Mom feeling a bit worse! My litterbox is right by her litterbox and I find such joy in running in there when she is using hers....it's a girl thing, ya know! We sit there side by side and have a small discussion on life in general. She pushes a handle and her litter gets all washed away....now why can't I have one of those? I have to dig and push and struggle trying to bury my litter, sometimes it takes hours. Mom laughs at me when I stand on the side and push it around. Dang, sometimes I am nearly standing on my head! It gets quite odiferous at times and Mom gives me that look! Phooey! She thinks she smells like roses? I don't think so! When it gets that bad, my Mom usually leaves the room really fast.I didn't even know she could run that fast! She's usually muttering something about cats and their...she is so funny! I like the weird gagging sound she makes in her throat...I wish I could do that!!! Yup, training one of these humans isn't all that easy, but it is interesting and sometimes a lot of fun! Above all, it is worth the effort!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10175 Thu, 18 Nov 2004 20:13:18 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/10175 Egads...here it is 9 P.M. and Mom is just now getting around to the most important thing in my life. ... NO! She think all my antics are because I want food. Well, yeah, that's one fine idea, but, I wanted my diary done this evening...before midnight! Sheesh! She doesn't understand catese? And, I was going to write her a note, then, I remembered I can't write! The chipmunks were going nuts today because this bird swooped down and scared the pants off one of the stupid little critters! I am not too happy with that bird myself...if anyone is going to make dinner out of them, it should be me. I have to hide my thoughts away from Mom or she will think I am a terrible rotten cat! I am not a rotten cat, but this is my home...stupid bird! Well, anyway, the chipmunks sat off to the side of the house and raised a ruckus! One of them sat on the pigs head...oh, don't worry, it isn't a real pig...I guess it is made of cement. The other one sat on a cement rail and both of them sat there and scolded the bird. Well, that was mighty dumb! The bird was long gone. They twitched their tails and sat there like idiots for about 10 minutes! Then they proceeded to vacuum the sidewalk by the patio doors! They twitched and sucked and ate darn near all the seeds Mom put out for the birds and stuff! Well, unfortunately, tonight I have a monster headache! I got so excited watching the stupid little things, that I charged forward and hit my precious little head on the glass door! I guess I should just give up. Tomorrow, I will be more careful!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9948 Wed, 17 Nov 2004 08:49:25 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9948 I was just sitting here thinking about when my Mommy had cancer and she was doing the chemo.

I wore my fancy pink scarf and I strolled through the ... well, I'm pretty, too! Then Mom said, "What cute dimples!!!" I have dimples, too...under my fur!!! What is it with women and babies??? Cats are quite a lot more special than babies. We use a litter box and no one has to change our wet, smelly diapers. No one has to get up at 2 A.M. to feed us. No wear and tear on the body cuz if we want milk we just go to our bowl and drink it. We can walk nearly right away. We very seldom spit up...well, maybe a fur ball here and there...**hack!** We don't cost very much to maintain. Cats are much better than babies, any day of the week! If you think I am jealous, I'm NOT! Well, okay, maybe just a little teeny bit. I am the baby in this family and I like it that way! I'm Momma's Baby Girl!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9802 Mon, 15 Nov 2004 20:43:00 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9802 Oh, goodie! Tomorrow night my peace and quiet will be interrupted by a bunch of women. Mom is havi ... have to be quiet. I just don't know how they can make a living! I am not too excited about the meeting. I am just not the outgoing type. I may present myself just so they can ohhh and ahhh at how beautiful I am. Mom usually dresses me up in one of my nice little scarves that she made for me. I have a pink one, a turquoise one, a Christmas one, and this Halloween she made me one with Boo Cat on it and a silly ghost! I must say, it did look quite attractive on me...the colors were perfect! Speaking of Halloween...OHMICATSHAKINGGOODNESS! This Halloween, we had some of the usual people over...Mom is just like a kid...sort of. (Although she is much too old for that. Really MUCH too old...really really old.) She had a Halloween party! Well, I was fine with that. I even visited with some of my favorite humans. But, at 10 P.M. the doorbell rang and all of a sudden in came three horrible gorillas! They started bellaring and making terrible noises. They ran around the house and just made general nuisances of themselves. One of them sat on Pa's lap and one of them hugged my Mom! It was just the worst! I decided that I had had enough of this and ran my scared little butt up the stairs and hid. I stayed there a lo-ooong time till I didn't hear any more noise. I finally sneaked back down, carefully, to make sure all was fine. AND THEN....at 11 P.m. they showed up again! This time I didn't waste any time...I ran up the stairs and stayed there the rest of the night! I heard Mom and Pa talking in the morning. They didn't know who was dressed in the gorialla suits. GORILLA SUITS???!!! I thought they were real gorillas! I feel so dumb. I wish I had stayed down there now and just made a rush at them. I could have smelled to see who was hidden in there...and I would have told my Mom and Pa! I would have torn them to shreds! Then, I would have kicked them out the door! To this day, they do not know who the gorillas are. I wonder if by chance there are real gorillas in Montana?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9626 Sun, 14 Nov 2004 16:42:25 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9626 My Mom writes and sends gifts to two young men who are fighting in Iraq. She says it is very little ... Freedom. I think I know what she means by Freedom although I do not speak human language. I think it means being able to catch all the mice you need. Coming and going like you want to, at any time you want to. Having a warm and wonderful bed to lay on. A nice home to feel comfortable in. Being able to go fishing just for the fun of it, like my Mommy and Daddy do. I think that NOT having freedom must be like that other place I came from. It wasn't warm and cozy. There was food, but only a bare existence...nothing really special and lovely to eat like Mom makes for me. It was cold and lonely there. Cats die there. I think that is what war is and why my Mom prays so hard for all the young people there. I wish a cat knew how to pray so I could help too! Her friend lost his only son there about a year ago. Now one of her friends son has been wounded. It sounds so scary. I wonder why people do that? Animals don't do war. Sure we get mad once in awhile and the fur flies...but I don't remember ever where all the animals got together and went somewhere and tried to kill everybody. Sometimes it makes you wonder why we are called animals. Perhaps it should be the other way around?]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9447 Sat, 13 Nov 2004 09:27:26 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9447 Well, we are up bright and early this morning. I insisted that we do my diary right away. Boy, doe ... good food. You know, that stuff that comes from that neat little hidey hole where she stores all the really good things....things that come out of this impossible to open thingy. Then you hear this whirring sound, "click", and it just drives me crazy! Without even thinking I am totally underfoot, rubbing on legs and acting like I have been into the catnip closet! Then, I find out it is just a can of that people food....yuk! I wanted the fishy stuff! The tuna, the chicken, the salmon...the stuff Morris wants and gets every day! But, NO...she can be so dastardly selfsih! Okay, so she took me to the vet a long time ago. I had a bad tooth. He told her it was from eating the soft food and it caused me to have cavities in my tooth. I hate that man! I didn't like where he lives...I didn't like the cat that lived there and walked around like he owned the place. That place stinks and reminds me of that other place I was at before my Mom got me. (Scares me.) He took this long claw thing and stuck me with it...it hurt! And, then when I woke up, I was really hurting and my poor little tooth was gone! I laid around for a day or two and whined cuz I wanted her to know I was NOT happy about it at all! She tells me it was all for my own good....well, I don't believe it. Good is when I get a can of that fishy stuff. I have tried whining and crying and carrying on and even managed to trip her once...but I still don't get any of the stuff that drives me crazy! Life is just not fair!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9409 Fri, 12 Nov 2004 22:06:00 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/9409 I have had a rather boring day.

Egads, a flower is supposed to smell like a flower, not a person! So why would a person want to smell like a flower? Humans are extremely strange, I have found. My Mom says I smell like a cat...nice, isn't it? But, she says that is not good because she is allergic to cats. Well, at least she has the brains to take pills for it! Now, I can't take a pill for cats...I'm allergic to them, too!!!

I don't want another kitty on My bed...eating MY food, and playing with MY Mom! She knows I hate cats! And I would hate a little sister most of all! Aunt Dee Dee told her it would be great company for me. I have all the company I need. There are two humans in this house who give me their undivided attention! I absolutely love my life like it is....a solitary cat in a no other pet house. Whatever are they thinking? Well, I tell you what I think! I think that I will run away from home if I can get out the door. I will sharpen my claws on the new kitty. I will spit up hairballs all over the house. I will just die...sob. I will turn into Monster Cat and spit and fuss and be the meanest cat in the world! I will let you know what is going on later. They are supposed to get this critter on Thanksgiving.

That is the way I like it! I ... that old! Devin is my big brother. He is really tall and handsome! He has blue eyes and short hair like mine! He is very, very old too! He has a weird sense of humor. Why are humans so strange? I love my big brother and sister a lot. But, they have small kitties in their families. I do not like little kitties. Shelle has a 16 year old kitty, an 11 year old kitty and a 6 year old kitty. They are girl kitties. Devin has only one kitty but I guess they are expecting another one in January. My Mom is pretty excited about that! Devin's girl kitty will be 2 years old on November the 14th. Little kitties like to bug me. They are always wanting to touch me and my fur. I want them to leave my fur alone and me. I guess I am considered anti-social when it comes to small humans. My Mom gets really mad when I swipe one of them with my claws. She even swiped me back a couple of times for doing that! (Grouch!) (@#%!*#$@!!) My sis and brother think I am a spoiled brat. Mom said that her sisters thought she was too. Well, I know that I am a darling! Maybe my Mom was a spoiled brat...but I am not! I don't have a lot of toys. Just a small bit of catnip and a scratching post/bed. That isn't spoiled, is it? I sure wonder why Mom is getting so excited about another kitty? They don't hardly have a bit of fur when they are born. They can't talk. They bellar all the time for food and make messes! What is it about human kitties? They do not know how to even use a catbox, for heaven's sake! Wet all over themselves...YUK! It's downright disgusting, if ya ask me! And the thing that really gets my goat...er...hairball...is when the human kitties are over here, my Mom practically ignores me and hangs all over the little kitties. Hugging and kissing and she hardly knows I'm alive! I think she loves them best. Life is not fair. And I am not spoiled! So there!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8960 Tue, 9 Nov 2004 18:55:46 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8960 That is the question. After supper my Mom was sitting at the thingy they call an island...isn't tha ... ME-OOOOWWW! Finally, she scooted her chair back and made some room for me. 'Bout time, I might add. She said, "Okay, up...up." "Mawse." "Up." "MEOW....mew." I started to get up and then I heard a teeney tiny clicking sound and sat there looking to my left and right trying to figure out where it came from. "Mawsie, UP!" Pat, pat...as she patted her lap in the spot that she thought I should land. "MAWSE." I started, I honestly started up, but a quick breeze wafted by and I looked around to see where it came from. I looked up there again and pushed myself for the big jump...sorta thought better of it, and just decided to wait for a better placed jump! "Meow." A cat must feel secure, ya know. She gave me one of HER looks, and told me to stop tomcatting around and get up there. Tomcat? Me? NOT! I then felt this overwhelming urge to rub on the plant stand there, so I did. Pat...pat...."Mawse, for crying out loud, get up here, NOW!" "Okay, then, don't!" I did. Dang that's fun!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8866 Tue, 9 Nov 2004 07:06:02 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8866 Well, yesterday she seemed to get such a kick out of me sleeping with my little pink tongue hangin ... 5 engine freight train! So I took my dainty little body and began doing a march up and down the bed. Then, remember, I had mentioned something about sticking my face in her's till she feels the spider-like whiskers in her mouth? Well, I went over and stuck my head in her mouth....and said, "ME#@%^*!O-OOOOW! You shoulda heard the echoes! It was the greatest! She mentioned something in French and rolled over...but at least the noise stopped. I went over and nuzzled her a bit...ticks her off, but she thinks I am concerned so she doesn't get too mad. I thought I better not push my luck so I jumped down and went into the other room. I wonder if she heard me laughing way out there? I hope so....]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8774 Mon, 8 Nov 2004 16:00:00 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8774 I was somewhere in La-La land, sleeping very well, thank you. Dreaming of mice and catnip, warm lap ... Oh, funny! Really, really funny! What is with that? Can't a cat have a nice dream about good food without someone who is supposed to love you make fun of you? I am quite p.o.'d at her. I have never said a word about how she falls asleep with her mouth open and drool running down her chin...like some old ugly, mangy drooly dog! NEVER! I do not find the humor in all of this. I will probably carry a grudge until supper for this. Humph....]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8556 Sun, 7 Nov 2004 07:53:58 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8556 What a wonderful day this is! I am now a sort of registered driver. I got my very own driver's lic ... so nice! Now, just maybe if Pa drives stupid, I can just take over the wheel. I'll have to check the map and see if there are any wonderful exciting places to go. Names like Kittysville or Catsburg, Catnip, USA...places that I would like to see for a change. They always get to pick the places we are going and somehow that doesn't seem fair. The first time I took a ride, it scared the bemouse out of me. It was a great big house thing that Pa drove. Had my own bathroom and place to eat, but it was still scary. They call it an RV. I hope that doesn't mean 'Wrecked Vehicle!' (Does wrecked start with an R?) I hid under the chair where my Mom sat most the whole time we traveled. But, now I pretty much have the hang of it and I just veg out and enjoy the trip! Mom said that Shanna and Miko all live in Hawaii. It sound so nice over there. Wish we could go there. One of my friends, Doogie, got on the favorites page yesterday. And Cassie will be on it also! Boy, they sure are popular. Congratulations to both of them! Well, I must lure my Mom away from the computer pretty soon. She must know it is past my breakfast time! Meow to you later!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8464 Sat, 6 Nov 2004 14:19:32 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8464 I have spent the whole day looking for a mouse!

Just my l ... always mice there...well, almost always! Then, I will give it to Mommy to make sure she has a great reason to smile! I bet she will get really excited!!! I just can't wait. More later...I am extremely busy as you can see!

I had a nice plate of rainbow trout served to me on a platter last night! See, I told you I ... Undignified, too! So, I just walk away and leave her waving that thing...I wonder at times if she feels stupid when she does that? (I hope so.) I heard her on the phone this morning making plans for Thanksgiving. It sounds like I have to spend the Holiday alone.. Alone for heaven's sake! And, no turkey for me. No turkey is the worst! Fine, just let her go to my Aunt Dee Dee's house. I won't patrol the house then...I won't do anything at all. Sob...I am so hurt. She thinks just because the neighbor comes down to kittysit me, that everything is fine. Doesn't she know, I have feelings too? Well, we will discuss this one later on, when I am not so mad or hurt. Right now I need a nap. And some food. And I better get it! Or here comes the whiskers and the stomp tonight.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8228 Thu, 4 Nov 2004 18:26:09 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8228 Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Mom let me out today! Yeow! Meow! It was so-ooo much fun to be outdoors! ... Yeow! Meow! It was so-ooo much fun to be outdoors! I rolled in the dirt and got my nice white fur all dirty. I smelled the air to see who was out and about. Saw some birds and watched the flag flowing in the wind. I was such a very good girl...till I sneaked around the corner away from her. Then I caught holy catnip from her! She seemed to think I was gonna go after the stupid chipmunks! (I was, but she didn't have to go read my mind!) The sky was azure blue and the wind warm and friendly...a perfect day for a stroll! I sure didn't get much of a stroll though. Pretty soon she had my fuzzy butt back in the house for not listening! Stupid chipmunks...I never get to have any fun! Acutally, it was fine with me though as one of those big critters came down...the deer. She was looking for a handout at Mom's Cafe. I was ready to go inside anyway...I don't much like the deer at all. Too big and hairy! Some of them have huge horns and those scare the pantaloons off me! The day continued to quite interesting anyway. I sat at my favorite window and watched the goings on. First, a couple of idiot, stupid, dumb chipmunks came out and grabbed the bird food. Then, a bird hit the window. Man, did I duck! Mom ran over to see if it were okay...never mind that I was shaking in my boots...she didn't ask about that! Humph! I am her little sweet, darling...and is she at all concerned about me? NO! Just some bird wondering around out there with a headache! Mom fried fish for dinner...but, I noticed there wasn't a plate set at the table for me ...again. I like fish. A lot! So, pouting, I just went and took my beauty nap! Remember I mentioned that I like to walk on her in the middle of the night? Well, another really cute trick I have, is when she is sleeeping...really hard...I go up and stick my face in hers. Just enough to tickle her with my whiskers. She thinks it's a spider and really comes unglued! Dang, that's funny! Most of the time. One time she got up and put my dainty little body out of her room! No sense of humor, that woman! I had to sleep by myself. So, tonight, I believe I will have to use one or both of my little tricks. I know I sound vindictive...I am. I am still in the pouty stage. Maybe tomorrow she will let me stay out longer and have some of that fish!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8059 Wed, 3 Nov 2004 16:30:44 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/8059 Well, this has been just one of those days. I feel so lazy. It is raining and there seems to be a ... Someone has to check for mice, ya know. I was beginning to think he was never going to get off the couch to let me go out there! Sheesh...acts like it hurts to open a door for little ol' me! He knows how important it is! After what seemed like an hour of hollaring in my best almost Siamese voice, he finally let me out. Not too much going on out there, so I need to take up my spot by the glass door and see what the chipmunks are up to. They are back and I love to watch them. I bet they are tasty little critters! I sure get excited when I watch them! My tail flits and my teeth sometimes chatter...it's just so exciting!!! Well, dinner time again. Wonder what's on the menu? Chipmunk would be good...yeah, right, she won't even let me smell one!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7986 Wed, 3 Nov 2004 07:42:18 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7986 I got up and patrolled the house...as is my job to do every day. Pay stinks, but no one else here ... huge! That darn buck followed me right up to the door! I was so glad the door was open enough to let my dainty little body in...and extra glad there wasn't room to let that deer in! I really do think he would have walked right in! Then, the stupid deer stood there and laughed, cause he scared me! Stupid deer! Mom got pictures of it and thought it was so-ooo funny! It was the least bit funny! Well, my humans are finally up and about. I better go rub on some legs and see if I can rustle up some breakfast! My paultry pay for all this patrolling! Pur-rrr till later!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7893 Tue, 2 Nov 2004 16:12:59 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7893 I am sitting on my humans lap...the silly woman went fishing and didn't even catch me a fish! I was ... ALONE! When I get up on her lap, she groans and acts like I weigh a ton! Says something about laying down now! Something about my petite 15 pounds feeling like 100 on my little spindly legs...humph...She outta take a look in the mirror! She ain't no lightweight herself! I will get even....heh, heh, I always do! Tonight when she is fast asleep, I will daintily walk my 100 pound body all over her and when she wakes up, I will just be nicely laying there like, I myself , have done nothing! Does she have a problem? Till tomorrow...ta ta!]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7806 Tue, 2 Nov 2004 07:52:31 PST MAWSE ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/84503/diary/mawse_in_the_house_see_my_new_video/7806 Today is Nov. 2, Election Day! Now, what is that? They need to get some really good names on the p ... MEOW...YEOW! I even got some invitations today, but then I knew I would be popular...Mom loves me like crazy! I moved in with my Mom almost 6 years ago. It was my third home and I was so afraid she wouldn't love me either. The other humans treated me pretty badly and I was scared to death. I sat on my mom's lap and held on to her for dear life. I think she thought I was paranoid, but I was just scared that she would send me back to that terrible place like the others did. Some of the cats go to those kind of places and you never ever see them again. I heard some heartwrenching rumors about it. My Mom had a kind heart and although everyone else thought I was ugly, my Mom didn't. She loved me right away! She saved my life and in turn, when her life was threatened, I took care of her. I would do anything for her! I even catch a nasty mouse once in awhile, cause she won't touch them! I tickles me to see how excited she gets when I drag a mouse over to her for her approval. Dad usually throws it out, sometimes before I am even done playing with it...that really ticks me off! Well, I am exhausted after writing my very first entry. I think I must go find some food at Mom's Cafe and a soft lap. Nap time...I must get my beauty rest, ya know!]]>
