		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy oh boy!!! We got a ton of toys and treats today! I am pawticularily fond of the feather toy as it's really plush! Well, that is until we all eat the feathers off of the toy.  I haven't tried the treats yet but my siblings have and they all seem to approve.  I've just never been a treat eater for the most part and go in spurts of eating them.  Gotta keep my 10.5 lb body in shape!

Mittens was playing with me too! He loves feather toys and kept hogging it! Finally mom gave me the toy too and we both sorta played together.  Gotta love feather toys!

Mom got a few good pictures of me so she needs to post them sometime! She doesn't have many of me 'cause I am gifted and like to look the opposite way of the camera.  Also my eyes are like a rats, all red in certain light.  So when mom takes pictures, even without the flash, I get "red/rat" eyes.  Ummmm mom? I'm a cat, not a rat!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So as I've said many times, I'm not a huge moist food eater, and the same goes for the treats! But low and behold it turns out I like Fancy Feast moist :) I mean, really.  If someone had just asked me what I wanted I would have told them!

As Hondo meowed, mom is going to try a few new treats this week.  There were a few new flavors and brands that she saw and wants to try.  Me and Hondo are picky so if it's a fail, then again, someone should have just asked me what I wanted! But do they? NOooooo.

So let's hope the treats mom buys this week I like.  I mean, we all like.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Dangit mom!! My secretary was NOT available the day I was a DDP! Yesterday I was a DDP but mom was gone as she stayed at a friend's house as they hung out all day and then later went to a Christmas light display, "Festival of Lights" in Centerville, VA.  Mom said it was really pretty! You don't have to walk around and freeze your tail off but rather you drive in your car, 10mph tops.  Mom took some good pics!

I see where her priorities are... Anyway, thanks for the Concats on my special day :) Figures she's MIA the day I'm a DDP and the fact that it was my first one of the year! *pouts*]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Santa knows if you've been bad or good!! And while I may be small at 10.5 pounds, I make it known if cats pick on me as I make loud MEOWING noises warning others to leave me alone.  Ok, sure I tend to pick on my brothers, Mittens in particular, but siblings are fair game! Right?

Do you think Santa Paws will look past said behavior? I mean, I am sorta hooked up with connections as Boogie is Santa Paws and my brother forever and ever.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 4 years ago I was adopted!! Wow, it seems like yesterday! Thank you to my friends who helped me celebrate today! Colleen was busy at the bridge as she baked a HUGE cake for everyone to share with me! I'm happy to see she remembered I have BIG BROTHERS who LOVE food 'cause it's always a concern that we'll run out of food here :)

Mom gave me some moist food but I didn't want it, instead I ate the treats she gave me.

Thanks for making my day special!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In our living room we have a big circular bed that is originally the dog's bed.  Lately me and Hondo have been taking residence on his bed.

Spoiled dog has plenty of beds.  In fact, he has his own ottoman with custom blanket, he is starting to feel at home on the sofa and love seat, and he takes up so much room on the bed!!! Often Boogie, Fido and Ethan sleep with mom but sometimes I want to visit her but can't 'cause the three black/white animals take up so much room!

I'm only 10.5 pounds so it's not like I take up a lot of space.  It's not easy being the smallest in the family that's for sure.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom hasn't had an appetite as of late but when she does eat, she gets Subway.  I loveeeeeeeeee that delectable lunch meat!! I'm a fairly picky eater but I do love me some turkey and ham!!!

Of course, the trio: Boogs, and the twins, jump onto the table and try and get first dibs.  Thankfully mom will let me have some even though I'm not ill mannered and don't jump on the table.  It pays to be a GOOD boy :)

Hondo likes Turkey but Fido isn't much into human food.  He's more about laying on mom's chest, stepping on her clavichord and demanding lovies when she's trying to get some beauty rest.

Again, I, don't do such behavior... No sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-eeeeeeeeeeee! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A day where us cats, well... Hondo, Mittens and sometimes Fido hide under the bed as they don't like the BOOM BOOM noises the firecrackers make.  They are illegal in our state of VA but that never seems to matter.  I enjoy them as does Boogie and Tiskers.  The dog doesn't seem to mind but mom makes sure he's inside by 9pm so he doesn't get scared.

Mom grew up in MN and they are illegal there but not in WI.  But regardless if they're legal or not, it's never enforced it seems. Mom wishes it could as we don't need a wild fire like poor Denver!!!

What worries mom is that it's so dry here that a spark could start a fire!! We did get rain last night so hopefully that helps the 95 degree heat.

Dad is off work for the 4th, a rare occasion! Mom is happy 'cause she doesn't like fireworks.  They bought the fixins' for Smores!! I can't have them due to the chocolate.  

Lambie is going to begrudgingly stay at Sully's 'cause he'll be safe from the BOOMS.  He won't be safe from Sully though :P]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW!! What a way to wake up!! 330 cats including me celebrate their Birthday today!! I'm 4 today! And with Ragdolls and Main Coons, it takes us 4 years to get our full coloring, and I'm officially an adult now! We mature slower which explains why I'm a brat :)

Thanks for the pawmails everyone and Birthday serenade from Buddie! Ok, while I listen to him sing, I'd like to thank the following kitties for making my page all spiffy:

-Sully for the huge crown (and no, Lambie says your kitchen isn't done=not coming)
-Smiley Cassanova for my Beach Ball *pops the ball* Ooops
-My in laws Tessa and family for the replacement Ball! *phew*
-Newman for the ice cream cone that Boogie is eyeing up!
-My biological daddy Monte for TWO cuppycakes 
-My half sister who is oh so beautiful, Karisma and family for the Bday hat!
-My family for the heart'cause they know I'm so sweet, mwhahahahha!
-Big Harry, aka COTD today for the ice cream!
-Monster for the Shrimpie
-Teebo and family for the ladybuggie
-Oly and family for the beach ball
-Colleen for the humungous cake which has been eaten all day by my friends :) 
-Elsa for the ice cream!
-littleboy and family for the yummy watermelon! 

I don't understand why mom is going to PetSmart later to get the DOG more food since it's MY day... But I will be watching "21 Jump Street" later tonight with my family as it's out on DVD today!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have to agree with catster member littleboy!! I might need to hire the CPS (Cat Protection Service).

The injustice being locked in the bathroom for 12 hours!!! Mom always does a head count but she's blaming dad for not replenishing the TP in the hall bath.  I just snuck in :)

So yes, it was DAD'S FAULT!!! Yup yup! 

At least I didn't set off the security alarm like catster member Monster (see comments in the last diary).  OMC!!!

For now, I forgive this damaging experience, but next time the claws are coming out and I WILL BE TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR A NEW HOME!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ :( You will never believe what mommy did to me!!

So today she got up at 5am to show support for daddy's cycling race.  She used the guest bathroom around midnight and noticed we were out of TP so she went and got some.  She then shut the door and went to bed.

5 am she wakes up and by 6 am they're off to the race.  Daddy got #12 out of #50 and then they went and got lunch and drove an hour back home.  They got home around noon.  

Mom was tired and went upstairs to take a nap and heard ME CRYING!! "MEOWWWWWWW, MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" She was looking for me and found me in the guest bathroom!!

I WAS STUCK IN THERE FOR 12 HOURS!! Please someone adopt me and give me a proper home!! HMPH!!! When she found me she was all, "Ooooooooo Porkers!! Who left you in here?!?!"  I ran away from her! I WAS MAD!! A few minutes later I ran upstairs and used the box.  Geeze mom!!

I'm up for adoption!! Contact ME not my mom for further instructions!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First off, Tiski is... GROUNDED!! More on that in a bit.

So mom and dad have been busy planting two Crepe Mertyle trees and then mom made dinner while Dad mowed.  They finally got a breather and decided to take me and Tiski strolling.

I always sit in the front with Lambie! ALWAYS! Tiski, the moment he joined me and Lambie was HISSING! GROWLING!!! So mom and dad tried strolling two blocks.  Saw a neighbor and they were talking (mom's never met the wife) and she has 5 cats.  But wouldn't you know it? Tiski was all CRANKY!!! Mom said he is GROUNDED!

It gets worse! The moment we got into our garage, dad shut it and let Tiski out.  Tiski HISSED, GROWLED, SPAT at daddy! And then when he was inside he smacked Hondo, smacked Boogie!!! 

Mom felt bad for me so I went with Fido after.  

SHEESH!! Jealous of me and Lambie much?!?!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WHAT?!?

So mom told me she had a weird dream and woke up and was thankful it was a dream! She had a dream I was wanting to live with the lady who bred me almost 4 years ago.  Apparently mom was upset but "I" was just going to stay with her for a while.  NO idea why, but I wanted to!

Mom said I shouldn't get ideas!

Mom said I'm STUCK with her and daddy no matter what "I" want!

Meanwhile not much is new here.  I'm still picking on the big boys as I KNOW I'm alpha, even though the others say else wise.  I still like to sit in the litter box just to gross mom out :) Yup, I'm a paw-full!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I've mentioned before that I have (in the past) sat in the litter box.  The last time I did this was when I first came home and when we were moving and my parents had packed the robots away.

So now that we have 1 robot, 2 GIGANTIC regular boxes to accommodate Hondo's behavior, I use the GIGANTIC box.

Today I got busted... Busted for...

ROLLIN' IN THE LITTER BOX on my back!! Imagine it, me rollin' like I had flees or something all over me... ROLLIN'!!! <b>ROLLIN'</b>.  Don't fret, the boxes were scooped clean but Grandpaw of ALL PEOPLE ratted me out!! Mom heard him say, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" and mom was informed of said behavior!!!

I didn't want to leave but Grandpaw had to take me by my scruff and pull me out!! He's a party pooper!]]></content:encoded>

That Samoa is one smart cookie for noticing how smart and how I'm a gifted Kneader!! I still knead with my head down as I'm very focused!

You can read about my entire family of Dreamboats <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/283038/diary/Samoa_says/764430">*HERE* </a>!! I'm also very suave as I have a goatee!! It's not a normal trait for a bi-color Raggie, but it's what made mom fall in love with me :) Plus I have the bluest eyes in the family, more than Dad's too!!

I gotta check out the group which is an exclusive group for Dreamboats :) Ok, my head is getting big!!! MOL!! Thanks so much Samoa!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh it was TERRIBLE!!! Boogie, Fido and I went to the vet.  Fido and I both got the 1 year ray-bee shot, but that wasn't the BAD PART!

BAD PART was that grandpaw was NO WHERE in sight!! AND! AND!! When I left my crate, I hurdled in a ball in the corner of the vet room.  I was scared!!

The vet said I was handsome and a tiny fellow and was all "fluff".  I'm still 10.5 pounds of handsome :)

Fido posted a picture and you can see me looking up and taking in the new environment.  Boogie was in mom's lap (of course) most of the time, such a BIG cat the vet Dr. Welch said MOL!! He's a cat guy and the other guy we see, Dr. Cather, went to the same vet school as Tiskers' Cardiologist! We like our new vet office.  Mom said next time we go she'll be sure to take pics of our vet :)]]></content:encoded>

But one thing I let grandpaw do (and mom is VERY grateful) is I let him snip furrr off on my back end when a cling-on sticks to my furrr!!! Mom and dad have tried to hold me, but I squirm.

You see, I want grandpaw to enjoy this special moment.  Mom again thinks it's funny and is forever grateful that she doesn't have to do this :)]]></content:encoded>

TONS of food planned and we get to open gifts that night too! I can't wait! 

Why??????

'Cause I have been a GOOD cat all year! Yup! Those small occurrences of me picking on the others was TOTALLY THEIR fault, I was in the wrong place and the RIGHT time...

Anyway, today we all received a Catmas package from my twin brothers' litter mate's family! Hondo wrote all about it so read his diary!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So it's officially December 1st! I've been telling Fido and Mittens what to give their wife's for Catmas as Hondo has been surfing and shopping.  I'm a divo in training???

I hope we have snow this Catmas, but I think last year was the first time mom saw snow on Catmas since she moved to VA almost 9 years ago!

Stinky dog wants snow too 'cause he's stinky that's why... Oh Tiskers SMACKED him 3x fast, bam bam bam!! Dog was all up in Tiskers' face wanting to jump on the ottoman that Tiskers was on.  Naturally Tiskers said, "NO!" and bam bam bam happened! Dog gets so embarrassed when he gets beat up MOL!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So Main Coons, and Ragdolls (maybe other breeds?) take 4 years to be full grown unlike most cats who are after what, 1-2 years?

Well I'm 3 and some change.  My pawrents have noticed I'm a BIT more social! I'm an INDEPENDENT Raggie, where most ragdolls are like dogs in cat's fur: depending on owners, follow them like a dog, etc.,

Tiski fits that mold, Mittens is sorta like that but he doesn't like to be petted (just his belly and chin rubbed).  I'm on the other end of the spectrum but I'm starting to move into the more social side.  I wonder if it's because I'm turning into a man cat?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow!!! Mom just logged on the typy for the first time and saw that my friends Callie and fam, Colleen, and Toby and fam sent me gifties as today is my Gotcha Day! 3 years ago I met my gigantic brothers and my pawrents :) Thank you guys for making my page spiffy!

And what a treat it was to meet Grandpaw a year later! I hate to admit it, but he's my favorite in the family.  He lets me downstairs in the basement, he laughs at how I paw and whine at the door to be let down in my "cat cave".  Also, grandpaw wears socks and I loveeeeeeeeeeee feet (always have) so that's another plus for him.  Mom lives in flip flops=aka no fun.

I did get some new treats.  Mom found the "milk" and "Hairball" flavored Temptation treats at PetSmart.  I didn't care for the milk ones but boy do I love the hairball ones!

Mom wanted to make chicken burritos for dinner.  While she was tearing apart the chicken for the burritos, naturally she gave us a bit 'cause us cats LOVE chicken!

OH THE NERVE!!!!!!! Mom threw a tiny piece down for me and BOOGIE ATE IT!!! I got SOOOOOO mad at him, I swatted him and made an irritable/ANNOYED BEYOND WORDS noise and grandpaw and mom laughed!

HUH!? Laughed?!?!? They should have came to my rescue and grounded Boogers!! But alas, I got some chicken and immediately left the kitchen and pouted.  I mean, really.  LAUGHING at me?!?!?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, months later, I'm still meowing and defending MY basement.

But to make matters worse, Hondo, Fido AND THE STINKY dog have decided it's THEIR spot too! And here I thought it was my safe place, my sanctuary, a place where many of my siblings didn't bother checking out.

The basement door is always closed as the twins (Tiskers/Mittens) will chew cords given the chance.  But overall, most of us prefer the main level and upstairs.  I like the basement, it's where grandpaw lives.  And we have a finished basement and there's even a bed down there for ME! Ok ok, yeah you're right... It WAS the dog's bed, but I claimed it.

So because the bed is DOWNSTAIRS in MY AREA, it just enforces the fact that the basement is MY AREA!!! Hmph!]]></content:encoded>

So, I backed my "smack" with my 10.5 of muscle and hit him on the nose!

Check it out here: http://thecatintheclover.blogspot.com/2011/06/party-with-porkchop.html

I got grandpaw lovies, I got to do my daily ritual of pawing at the basement door (see my pics), and I got some good box time :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ 332 cats on Catster celebrate a birthday today and I'm one of them! 

Boogie already wrote about this blessed event but he is right... I will get grandpaw love, I will get basement time even if I go "hoarse" (HORSE?!?!?) from meowing, and I will attack feet with socks, although that might be hard to find being that it's hot outside.

I'm not much of a treat eater, and I'm pretty picky too! But I know I'll get lovies :)

I did get an early gift.  Mom ordered some lamps for the master bedroom and they came in a HUGEEEEEEEEEE box, and I've been guarding and having fun in the box.  Mom said it's mine!

Now, if only I could get Lambie back from the thief Sully!!!!]]></content:encoded>

NOW... If something happens, note, he will PAY! 

For now, I'll sit back, enjoy my freedom (lambie can be demanding) and let Sully take care of Lambie and embrace some "tricks" I taught him mwhahahahah]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For life? Wha?

Ok, so the 2nd part of that was a lie... But I am grounded.  You see, mom has been putting up curtains and in the living room she bought some ties to tie the curtains back. 

Well, I saw the tie by mom's candles! Naturally I had to see what it was! Mom was upstairs when she heard, "THUD".  She went downstairs to see ME NEXT to the tie.  My bad...

She said, "BAD PORKERS!!".  2 days go by and not another episode...

Until last night... This time I was quieter, but took down the cord.  AND... I chewed the end off and mom can't find the end! Not only that? I RUINED it!!! Mom was very VERY mad at me.

She bought a new one and told me I'm GROUNDED!

AND!!!!

She put tape ALL over the shelf by said candles.  So if I walk on the shelf, a shelf, I'm not supposed to jump on, I'll get tape on me and be in MORE trouble...

Oooopsie!]]></content:encoded>

Ever since I laid my blue eyes on him, it's been a match made in heaven!

Meanwhile my pawrents don't get it! When grandpaw left to go back home I pouted! Thankfully he came back and I got lovies.

Then he left...

Now that he lives with us, I give him lovies and not my pawrents.  Like I said, it's unexplainable! I love him!]]></content:encoded>

I'm not allowed to be down there unsupervised 'cause me and the twins have a love for wires (the 3 domestics don't).  

So yet again, today was one of those days and mom asked Dad, "Where's Porkers?" 'cause the rest of the gang was upstairs.

I don't like being on the main level.  There's an UGLY ETHAN KITTY on that level.  If I go upstairs, then I get bored and fall asleep in the Pink Condo and Mittens and Hondo get annoyed I take top tier! That results in me getting annoyed.

Seriously, I get no basement love...]]></content:encoded>

Enough of the nick names like "Porkers Poopy Pants" or "Porkers the Piglet Poopy Pants!"

Ok, I had some runny newmies and sometimes I get hard newmies that cling onto my pantaloons.  Colleen calls them Kling-ons. 

I'm tired of my family teasing me! Worse is when they cut the hard newmies from my bum or even WORSE is when mom holds my bum up to the kitchen sink, with warm water, washes my bum!

It's times like these where I wish I was 20 pounds like Chubbers (Mittens).  Mom can easily pick me up 'cause I'm only 10.5 pounds.  

Hmph!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ That's what I do often to the ugly kitty in our house, aka Ethan.  When he runs up the stairs at night, I follow him and am HOT on his heels! I run up there with him, and when he gets to the top? I SMACK him and attack him!

He likes it, mom doesn't.

I get no respect.  Today GRANDPAW yelled at me for jumping on mom's piano bench.  He picked me up and said, "PORKERS??? What did I say...."

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I try to be an Alpha Cat and deep down, I think I am! WAIT! NO! I AM an alpha cat.

However, this has yet to be agreed upon according to all my brothers. 

The only one I have power over is Ethan, my ugly kitty.

Sometimes he'll be walking into the kitchen for food and I'll just JUMP on him and smack him.  He thinks I'm playing but I AM NOT PLAYING!!!

Unfortunately I immediately hear, "PORKERS! NO!! Leave Ethan alone and BE NICE".

Wait till they all feel the wrath of Alpha Pork!]]></content:encoded>

I'm still 10.8 pounds but that's ok! I'm not going to be big and FAT like SOME of my siblings...

As long as Lambie likes me, I'm good!

Oh the nerve!! And he still annoys me because he wants to play with me all the time! Doesn't he know cats need tons of sleep and don't wanna play with his toys even though he tosses them at us in hopes we'll play with him?

He's stealing my DDP thunder!! MOL!]]></content:encoded>

Oh he's the bestest and I don't hesitate to show him how much I love him and biting his feet!

My pawrents just look at me, shaking their head, acknowledging that I like grandpaw more than them MOL Nahhhhhhhh grandpaw just lets me get away with more things! And he feeds me turkey meat :)

Can't complain about that!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow! See my new spiffy shirt? That's from the family of my daddy Monte and co! We all for Catmas get to share the pretty stripe Polo shirt 24 months (we're big), a HUGEEEEEEEE blue bag of Party Mix, 2 green mousies, a red mousie, silver glitter mousie, blue glitter ball (Porkers' fav), a Santa man toy on a string, a potent catnip snowman, a red lil' grinch like bear, a tub of Appetizers from Fancy Feast and mom got 2 ornaments (lil' cute candy looking ornament and a pretty pink doggy poodle) a candy can for mom and a lil' K-cup thing for a gift mom bought Dad (can't say as he sometimes reads my diary).

Hard to believe the 24 month old shirt fits us all including me! I may be 10.5 pounds STILL *pouts* but it fits me and that's all that matters! 

We love everything! Thank you oh so much!]]></content:encoded>

But the lambie isn't the one you may THINK was the cause for our fight... NOPE! It was TWO Lambies from our pals in Canada! Pansy, Sully, and Kovo sent us each a mini Lambie! Unfortunately, Tiski got first dibs and I got mad!

Darn right I got mad!! So mad that I jumped up on the sofa and tackled him and then he tackled me too!! THE NERVE!

But in the end, it was worth it :) Thank you Pansy for our Catmas gifties!! OMC! Lambie! *SWOON* Pics to follow!!!]]></content:encoded>

Thank you everyone for the rosettes, pawmails and concats :) 

Now, if only I knew how to get rid of the doggy.  I know, I know,  he's not THAT bad... I do, along with Tiski and Boogie, like to swat at him as the dog just looks at us like "WHAT? What happened?!?!" but seriously, he's full of energy and I don't know WHAT mom is feeding him but he's growing big!

I have enough trouble trying to get to 11 pounds, yet this ugly kitty Ethan seems to have NO problems gaining.

But mom has an EVIL pic of me IN Ethan's doggy crate.  What can I say, it's comfy!! Mom is about to go to bed but she had to put him in the crate (we do this when we leave or at bedtime).  WELL, mom got all annoyed that I wouldn't get OUT!!! For 2 minutes (seemed longer) she tried to get me out and I wouldn't :) FINALLY she scooped me out.  

She thought that since Ethan was in the crate WITH me, I'd run.  Heck no!!! This is MY turf! I was here FIRST!!

Hmph, that doggy will pay!]]></content:encoded>

So far, me, Tiski and Boogie are tolerating this ugly kitty... Boogie is probably the most chill with him.  I don't mind him but I do like to smack his collar (from the neutering) a bit 'cause I CAN! :D

Tiski likes to try and eat his kibble and doesn't mind the dog but occasionally growls.  Yeah Tiski is part dog too!

*sigh* Can't wait till Grandpaw is here! Today is his last day of work, EVER!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YIKES! Mom said the same thing when she went to visit a neighbor as they had a BBQ.  One of the couple brought their new 5 week old baby.  The meowmy is a mag-is-trait and works with daddy and the lady's hubby works with my daddy too.  She had a baby 5 weeks ago and EVERYONE insisted my mom hold the baby.

My mom was afraid she'd drop it or break it :) The baby was WARM.  Mom's head was dewy 'cause 1) She was neverous!!! Never held that young of a baby before!!! 2) The newborn is hot 'cause...

Wait a minute... Aren't "I" Porkers the baby?!?!!?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So it's no longer the 4th of July right? Then why do I hear a few Kabooms at night?

We all didn't care for the 4th's Kabooms.  Tiski didn't mind but then again, he's never afraid of things, including the vacuum!! He's weird but a good stroller partner.

I have little to report other than I'm annoyed that my pawrents had a deck built these past few weeks.  I used to be able to see outside, see the grass, and even this one deer that visits our neighbors yard! But nooooooooooooo, now I see a big old deck, trees afar, but where'd the grass go?!?!

It's hard being me...]]></content:encoded>

Well let's try this again! Yesterday was my daddy Monte's 5th birthday!!! I'm glad he got my card in the mail :)

And there's more news from that family! They have a new kitty coming home today named Frosty! He looks like my buddy Harry, aka the White Raggie sibling of Allie, who's married to my evil brother Fido!!

Welcome home Frosty!! Mom can't find her linky link info.  I bet Boogie ate that piece of paper...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since I wrote in my diary? Eeep! Moving was a breeze and I've gone on a few strolls.  Unfortunately the weather is HOT HOT here so it limits our rides.  Lambie is safe on mom's dresser as she keeps forgetting to put it IN my stroller with me *hmph*

I'm happy to report that the EVIL ONE hasn't tried stealing our lambies and ladybug squishables!!! Funny story.  Mom and dad went with our friends to get a TV for the basement as that broke during the move.  Mom forgot she had alarmed our house and our neighbor yelled, "SAM! What's the code? Your ADT is going off".  MOL! So it's good to know the system works should ANY EVIL cat try and steal our Lambie and Lady Squishables!! MWHAHAHAHA

Tomorrow is my daddy Monte's bday too!!! Ooooooo]]></content:encoded>

For now, I will trust  her... I have grandpaw to protect me you see :) And he's 6 feet and some and is old and has wisdom!!! :D

We also got new drinkwell 360's and new food mats!!! I'm so excited to move!! Although I'm not excited to travel with Boogie.... I bet he pees the crate again MOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What's a Boo-Bee-Trap?!?! So again, we've ALL been on top of the cabinets in the kitchen and mind you, we NEVER did this until mom started packing for our move.  So fair game right?!

WRONG!

Mom and dad spent about 10 minutes putting scotch tape "rolls" on top of the cabinets where we typically jump.  Mom is hoping that after we get tape on our feet, eventually we'll get sick of it!

Mom already tried the "boundary" pink/white bottle that smells like green apples and it so did not phase us.  Please mom... Gotta do better than that!

So bring it on Boo-Bee-Trap!!!!]]></content:encoded>

Nah, I'm a sweet cat, but I get flustered and angry when my brothers try and bop or wrestle me! I mean, I am here to win!! So if they start defending themselves, I go, "MROWWWWWWWWWWWW grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhissssssssssssss" and my pawrents just laugh...

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I found a fuzzy BIG BEE!! Mom was on the phone w/ auntie Barb and she saw us all huddled around the screen door... That usually means we found something :)

Well mom got off the phone and investigated and saw... A BIG FUZZY BEE!! Like a biggggggggggggggggggg fuzzy bee!!! Mom freaked and was yelling at us, "MOVE MOVE MOVE!! I SAID MOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE".  She took the remote and smooshed it.  I think it was partly dead anyway as it wasn't moving fast on the ground...

Mom checked our paws and is all worried now that maybe one of us bit it or was playing with it.  We're all ok, but she doesn't know how it got under the bed near the screen door.  She's assuming we batted it there.

Mom saved it's carcass to show daddy as she's paranoid.  I gotta go as mom is keeping an eye on us.  Mom worries :)]]></content:encoded>

They came home with... A case of the Royal Canin Ultra light or what ever (blue can) of moist!!! AND it gets better... I'm told it's ONLY FOR ME!!!! While a few of my brothers loved it, it's MINE! ALL MINE!!! Lambie won't even get a bite! MWHAHAHAHA

MINE! MINE!!!!!!!!!! It's the only moist food I'll eat! Even as a kitten I wasn't thrilled about moist... BUT THE CASE IS MINE!!! ALL MINE!! ALL 12 cans are MINE!!!!!!!!!!!! But since it's so expensive, mom said I only get 1/2 a can a few times a week.   That's fine by me 'cause it's MINE!! ALL MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!]]></content:encoded>

Mom and dad bought some more of our Royal Canin Hairball food (dry) and they had a coupon at PetSmart near the bags of food for 1 free can of RC moist.  So mom picked up 2 cans of the light blue can "light" food 'cause we have MUSCULAR dudes in our home.  

Boogie and Mittens of course loved, so did Tiski, Hondo and Fido said NO THANKS (Fido usually likes most moist!) but I, Porkers, LOVEDDDDDDDDD it!

It's expensive at $1.29 a can (so look for that free coupon!) but mom said she might have to buy ME some 'cause I don't eat moist at all normally.... Weeeeeeeeeee]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Man it's been ages since we did diaries!!! Mom has been busy packing the past week and has about 40% of it done... YIKES!

She had to clean out our spare bedroom, and then packed the 4 closets full of boxes, and then the ROOM itself is about 80% full of boxes! We only have room for our computer desk and puter!! After April 30 we won't have the internet (just the iphone), as our provider is switching to Verizon and it doesn't make sense to start up service for 2 weeks when we'll eventually have Comcast in our house.

So I saw mom using her electric duster/air can and she was cleaning hard to reach things and in the corner of my eye, I saw... LAMBIE!! And JUST to be safe, she packed it with my other toys in a box.  I told mom, "MOM!! Triple, Quad, Quint tape the box up! SULLY CAN NOT GET MY LAMBIE".

Sorry dude, the lambie is MINE and safe and that box is under another box safe in our alarmed current home :) MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]]></content:encoded>

They have a daughter who just turned 1 last month.  Our mom's were meowing and the neighbor said, "Paige has been acting up since she turned 1".  Mom goes, "Porkers has too" MOL they laughed.  

I can't wait to go strolling with a baby!!! The mom is excited to see my stroller and she laughs at the pictures :) I wonder if the baby will take my Lambie?]]></content:encoded>

In the meantime, we're going out to inspect our house on Tuesday.  We got word via FB that our pilars/sidewalk/and porch is officially done! In the meantime, they're working on plumbing and wiring.  Wonder how long that takes?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So this is the shortest month of the year  yet mom said it feels like the longest month in a LONG time.  I think it's due to the snow, and yucky weather?

Mom started SOME packing and she thinks it was a bad idea... Our spare bathroom tub is full of boxes and their closet is too... And she has only packed like .50% of the stuff we own! She can't leave the boxes out as the chubby boys sit on them and will break the continents inside...

She thinks her packing mishap the other day will be making her life more difficult in the next month or two (she can't get around well) MOL.

This has been a long month... Is it May yet?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my, just when you least expect it, SHE may strike!!! I was getting my Irish on earlier today with my beloved Lambie, when I was sent some incriminating pictures of me and Lambie having TOO much fun :)

I hope this picture doesn't get me in trouble with my meowmy!!

Although, being the youngest, I get away with a lot.  I swear this is catnip juice!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ C'mon mom!! She kneads to give us a new St. Patty's Day page 'cause I am 100% Irish and need some lovies!! Oh yes!!

But what has she been doing? Shopping online, making calls, throwing things away (INCLUDING SOME OF MY DECREPIT TOYS!!!).  Good help is so hard to find...

Even Lambie is of no use in times of crisis like this!! Speaking of... I haven't seen him lately??]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, what a great Vday!!! I get to spend it with my brothers, pawrents and most importantly... LAMBIE!

Sully was super kind and sent me a rosette reminding me that Lambie is on loan *puts paws in ears, lalalalalala* and how he can't wait to get him back...

*grins*

I hope everyone has a fabulous Valentine's Day!!! Mom tried to take a snap shot of me laying next to her in bed this morning but my fur was messy so I scooted off... When Dad leaves for work, he brings in her cell phone to bed as he let's her know he arrived at work safe and sound (only during winter months as mom worries).

Yesterday she got a snap shot of Tiski laying on her, waking her up MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Siblings in general are annoying! Sometimes I wanna play and the old furts in my house don't wanna!

I pick on Mittens the most as I'm NOT intimidated by his size!!

When he gets in MY face or just stares at me like "Dude you're mental", I get annoyed and try to slap him while missing! I get all frustrated and then I cry! Like a frustrated cry!!! It sounds like we're fighting but we're not.  Mom doesn't even bother getting up anymore 'cause she knows what really goes on.

The injustice! I need a new baby brother to show him the way but mom said we're done with cats for a while!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom is still enjoying her iphone and downloaded a few more of the apps Skeezix meowed about.  One of them is an app that plays various cat noises (Meow, growl, opening of a can etc).

For what EVER reason, I get MAD when I hear those!!! Mittens is the MOST vocal of all us dudes, so my pawrents think I associate the noises to his loud self!! So I actually *KAPOWWWWW* Mittens and play bit him!!! Mom and dad weren't too happy!! 

The other dudes' ears perk up when mom plays the sounds on her phone, but I get MAD!!! And beat up Mittens MOL!!! He's too fat and slow so he looks at me like "What did I do??"

So mom uninstalled that app on her phone 'cause she felt bad for Mittens...]]></content:encoded>

I'm feisty like that!! The funny thing (so I'm told) is that when my brothers fight back, I sorta surrender and get all growly and hissy and mad!!! Do you blame me?!?! How would you feel if a 19-20 pound sibling came at you?!?!

While they never hurt me and love to get a rise outta me, I, DO NOT LIKE IT!! Even Lambie knows not to mess with me!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow! Just got back from my 3 year Distemper shot! Didn't hurt but I was sorta scared, but I survived :)

A while back I had a by-op-sea for this lil' growth on my front paw.  It was B-9 and is called a Hyper-Cara-Toe-Sis (sorry I'm a youngster, can't spell well) and it has grown back so my cute Vet not only gave me my shot but took that off.  It doesn't hurt, and it's just one of those things.   Mom is squeamish so the Vet did it.

So I'm all good! I'm a healthy boy! I'm still the skinny dude in the family :)]]></content:encoded>

Please save your rosettes kits 'cause we're outta them (as usual) and we feel really bad when we can't decorate friend's pages.  We just knead your friendship :)

Thanks for the rosettes and pawmails guys!!! I'm glad my Lambie awareness diary is out there for everyone to read.  Sully must be stopped as he does like to steal others' lambies :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So I had my vet tech appointment today as I was due for my Rabies shot (in 2 weeks I get the Fvrcp).  Anyway this new rabies vaccination, "Purevax" is more gentle on the system and is new.  It is only a 1 year vaccination vs. the 3 year Rabies.  I don't know if it's more as I don't recall the price of the old vaccinations, but this was $29.50.  So ask your vet about it :)

Boogie said his pal Orca had a bad reaction during his last rabies shot as it left a big lump (round) near the needle injection site.  We've also heard that some cats react bad.  None of us have, but we thought we'd try it as our Vet spoke highly of it!

I'm still under 11 pounds though... DANGIT!]]></content:encoded>

I decided to pick on Mittens (seriously he's 9 pounds heavier than me and I don't care!) and I was boxing with him and I stood on my buttocks, and lifted both of my arms, and started to swing!

My ears were ALL FLAT and what does Mittens do? He just stares at me and then decides to take a nap!

IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!! I wanna box and he's too fat and lazy!!! So I swung again and Mittens got up and LEFT!!!!]]></content:encoded>

I don't remember it last year.  Granted I was a kitten but now I'm a big boy.  Mom is snuggling with Tiski and Boogie with a nice comforter over her.  She's freezing even though our heat is at 75.  Nice and toasty but mom gets cold (and hot) easily.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mr. Sullivan, aka Lambie snatcher, is at it again... Sure, I "LENT" him my Lambie sometime ago.  I admit, I almost forgot about that as he hasn't been tormenting me as much.

But alas, I see he updated his Catster page and has my Lambie HARD AT WORK doing his dirty work! I do not believe my Lambie wants to go outside in the cold Canadian weather while distributing gifts to all the GOOD kitties.  I think I might take my lambie back! 

Interesting too is that my Lambie seems to have multiplied! I am wondering if Sully cloned my Lambie??? If so, surely that's an EVIL act from an EVIL cat who doesn't deserve anything for Catmas?? I might have to have a meow with a few cats about this...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *whimpers* Earlier today I had what Colleen says is a "Kling-on" on my bum.  Mind you, the other day I had to have a mini bath 'cause it left a streak on my white fur under my tail... That wasn't fun but it was better than what happened today!

AGAIN I got a icky kling-on, but it wouldn't budge... It wouldn't wipe off with water or wipes... Mom was going to try and cut it out while dad held me but it was TOO close to my skin :(

So she had to gently *glares at mom* pull it off my bum area.  I let out a small whimper and mom felt SO bad.  SHE SHOULD! It hurt! My pantaloons are trimmed back there.  It's NOT easy having LONG hair back there.. Funny how only me and Mittens fall victim to this... 

OUCH!]]></content:encoded>

Mom bought some potty pads that HL meowed about for our vet rides.  Remember how BOOGIE wet Hondo's PINK crate?!?! Oh my... We can't have that mess again!

The pads are HUGE! Naturally, "I" wouldn't have an accident, but leave it to Boogie :) Mom even said, "ANYONE have to go to the litterbox before we leave?".  *sigh* Boogie, the cat that keeps on giving :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ ACK!!!!!!!! So I did a nasty stinky around 3:30.  Mom was gagging.  Ironically it was around the time we read about auntie Allie's stinky bum too! Well mom had to teach so she left me while I fished my stinky.  When she was done teaching she's like "*sniff sniff* WHAT IS THAT SMELL?!?! Porkers? Come here for a second".  To her horror she saw a big round stinky attached underneath my fluffy duster of a tail!

Mom: Quick, Dan (daddy) grab Porkers! I'll get a baby wipe!!
Dad: Oh man he stinks!
Mom: HURRY!
Dad: *grabs me*
Mom: OH NO! The wipe isn't working! Put him under the sink!
Dad: Yuck, he stinks!
Mom: *washes my stinky bum and the stinky SMEARS*

Now what? Mom made DAD get the tub ready with soap and HE washed me! He dunked my bum into the tub (I didn't mind, but didn't exactly enjoy it).  And now I'm left with a WIMPY SMALL THIN TAIL!

Oh the horror! I gotta dry it off more and fluff it up! Mom said if we took my 5 bro's tails and put them together? They'd still be thinner than MY tail.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a cannibal if I eat pork chops??? Hark!! Mom is unthawing pork chops for tomorrow's dinner and in the past, I've always enjoyed eating some pork chop scraps.  Hmmmmm I'm not a pig (that'd be Boogers and Mittens) but my name IS PorkChop and I do LOVE TO EAT pork chops.  

Earlier I had some nip and as always, rolled all over the floor in the nip, making a mess.  Everyone else eats it, I just roll in it.

Anymeow, I gotta keep mom company as daddy just left for work (last day of his 3 day stint).  *sigh* Hard being the mancat of the house!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yet again, daddy works on Thanksgiving... I believe he's worked every Thanksgiving since he took his job 6 years ago... Mom doesn't mind as she only likes Turkey, rolls, and mashed potatoes (hates stuffing, cranberry stuff).  

I'm hoping we get a rotisserie chicken or something for Thanksgiving! No way is mom cooking a turkey (she hasn't ever come to think of it).  So it'll just be us and mom.  Even auntie Barbi is alone for Turkeyday as their daddy has to work too.  Our dad's are alike: They like to work, always work on holidays, and let our mom's expand our family :)

Oh well... Turkeyday is just Turkeyday... But I do believe daddy works on Catmas too :( Boooooooo AND New Years! Gah!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooooo my pawrents are FINALLY back from visiting my daddy <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/930459"><b> *MONTE AND FAMILY* </a></b>! OMC!! I smell all these smells on their fur and I'm told that ONE of them is my daddy!!! Another is my brother Cannoli and the other smells are the family members that live with my daddy and half brother!

Although the weather was terrible (a LOT of rain and bad drivers), my pawrents left at 6am and returned home at 8:40pm.  

My mom and dad had so much fun!! Mom loved playing with all Auntie's babies and was happy to finally meet Cannoli, Monte and Truffles! Truffles was a bit shy but mom did get to meet everyone :)

They came home with goodies from Auntie and my daddy/brothers!! Let's see... There's a big bag of... Biscotti's!!! Guess who picked them out :) Mmmmmmm mom is munching on a few while doing my diary MOL!!! Auntie Barb also gave mom a yummy Yankee Candle "Spiced Pumpkin", "Winter candy Apple" anti-bacterial hand soap from B&BW, a nice big fridge tablet from PetSmart where 50% of the proceeds to go charities, Halloween sockies (mom usually wears WHITE socks, but the colored ones in mom's drawer are from Auntie over the years MOL),  and then WE all got goodies!!!

We got a HUGE bag of goodies: Auntie's famous catnip pillows, mousies, glitter balls, feather toy, 2 Fancy Feast appetizers, PARTY MIx!!!!!, a cute black cat that mom will put up for Halloween, and...

THINGS FROM VEGAS!!!! YES!!!! While Auntie and Rob went to Vegas back in Sept they had bought us and mommy/daddy something too!! Mom gotta pretty rainbow key chain that says Las Vegas, Daddy got a green masculine key chain, and WE got TWO Vegas Tees!!!!

One is dark blue with 2 bears dressed up at Las Vegas (Elvis bear!) and the other is a white T-shirt with the American flag on it saying "Las Vegas".

OMC!! We are so spoiled!!! :) Mom unfortunately won't be able to post pics until late tomorrow as she has an appointment w/ the home guy and then when she gets back from there, she has to TAKE pics :) Bummer, we can't play with our toys until pics... Oh well :) 

They also went to Tony Lukes in Philly! Everyone had the Roast Beef sandwich (dad had the Parmesan platter) and the famous bacon/ranch/fries!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm Dad was happy to go there as he LOVED the fries last time!!!

Mom LOVED meeting everyone, but for some reason, she took a liking to Snowmitts (not a surprise), Biscotti (litter mate of the twins) and my daddy!!! Cannoli was having fun playing with mom too but I think Daddy and Biscotti liked mom the most :) 

Thank you Auntie and Unkie and my Daddy Monte, half brother Canolli, and fellow furry cousins for a fantastic day!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brother Cannoli has a MILD MILD case of Cardiomyopathy.  It might be the type that can be reversed w/ meds, so here's hoping.  Mom says she wishes the same were true for Tiski as we caught it fast, but still, she cherishes each day with him :)

Speaking of Cannoli, my half brother... Mom gets to meet him and my daddy Monte and Truffles on Sat! It's going to be cold out so no strolling she says :(

Ok back to helping mom figure out window treatments/blinds/etc., My pawrents just visited the show room and have an appointment first week of Nov to officially pick the colors out.

Mom's super duper excited that they're getting granite counter tops :) I'm just glad I won't scratch them as me and Tiski are the only ones who occasionally jump on the counter tops now :) I learned from the best and seriously, ".....NO...." I don't know what that means still :)]]></content:encoded>

Can you believe this but even SULLY'S MOM forgot HIS Gotcha/Annifurrsary date TOO!! What is with our neglectful meowmy's! His issue at paw has something to do with his quote, "Chubby" sister...

I felt so bad for Sully that I have a ZERO balance of Zealies that I told him he can HAVE my lambie for a "WHILE".  We're working on the transportation as I meow :) 

I KNOW RIGHT?!?! I, PORKERS, am, LENDING, Sully my Lambie!!! Tiski won't be happy but it's technically MY Lambie :)

Mom said our stash is coming the 26th according to our catster info page.  Oh my cod... What is this madness!!! Hondo is going through shopping withdrawal as is mom but she's putting her paw down and saying "NO EXCESS SPENDING" and that includes her beloved FB game, Pet Society!!! *gasp*

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess I do like moist food after all?!?! Well, only if it's Pro Plan's salmon with rice... Mom's noticed the past week that when the twins and tux duo eat moist, if it's Salmon, I'll nibble on what they don't finish :)

I don't even like Tiki OR Solid Gold (I know right?) but this salmon stuff seems adequate.

Every time they get moist, me and Hondo get treats :) Hondo's annoyed that there's no Tiki or Solid Gold but mom said they are el-broko now as their $ is for a house in May.  Hmmmm I think their priorities are wrong.  

Ok back to the Salmon!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Where is everyone? OH!!! That's right, it's US who are MIA!! I love my page Pansy made and look! Lil' Lambie is all dressed up too :)

Hondo did a diary and all of us are copying it as well to help keep friends informed why we might not be around too much until the loan gets sorted.  Long story short? Approved! Just gotta do a few time consuming things.

"Sorry we haven't been around much as mom is working w/ lenders and it's a bit more complicated than we expected.  NO ONE ever talks about this stuff so they had no clue!

Mom and dad are approved, FICO is good along w/ debt/credit ratio, just that they're working on closing costs (even though you won't know till THE closing) but for paper work and for the next step, we gotta come to an agreement.

Tomorrow dad will talk to Geoff the guy who is in charge of building our house.  A friend spoke w/ Geoff today (he's at home, not working today) and he said that there's NO WAY the closing costs, even at a "What if" standpoint would be $20k.  He said expect $7-8k TOPS which is great as mom and dad have $10k set aside for that.  The issue is they're doing a VA loan which isn't an issue, but there seems to be more fine print and justification of funds vs. FHA.  They have their down payment which, when using the VA 0% is kneaded so they get their $5k Earnest money back.  But again, it's complicated. "]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hmmmm something seems off here... My bib, the one that Hondo and Fido are wearing? Is it me, or does it look a bit big??

What happened was, my pretty fluffy rough is tucked under the bib so it looks like I have a shrunkin' head! MOL!! I guess my shrunkin' head on top of a fluffy body is sorta Halloweenish?? It reminds me of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (book 3).  The shrunkin' head in the double decker bus right?

Hmmmmmmm

Mom will try to sometime do a re shoot of me in this bib as my rough recently has really sprouted!!! I have the best fluffiest rough out of us 3 raggies!!! And my tail is the biggest and poofiest too! Yay me.

Will update my background later this week mom said.  Boogs and Tiski have a new one up though so check it out!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom sometimes get frustrated that I don't like to be held much... I tell her it's 'cause it's preventing me from getting my Party Mix! You see, I hate moist food... HATE IT.  So while the tux brothers, and raggie twins get moist? Me and Hondo get treats (he only likes Tiki, Solid Gold and Sheeba).

I can't get enough of the mix! And Pansy is stealing everyone's mix! She can be evil!

In the meantime, nothing is new with us... I'm very sad to hear my buddie Newman's bro, <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/283044"><b> *CALVIN* </a></b> is sick with belly cancer.  It's not fair, he's too cute.  Mom was sad to hear the news today along with the rest of Catster.  If I could make it better, I would! I'd even give up Mix furrever to make him feel better!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooooo just got back from a long stroll with Tiski, mom and dad!!! The weather finally cooled off!! We haven't been on a stroll since the end of April which was when I first met Grandpaw! When he visited earlier this month, we couldn't go 'cause it was always 90ish with icky humidity.

When they went on their last block before heading home, our neighbors stopped to say hi.  They haven't seen us before strolling so they asked about us :) I guess they were thinking of getting a cat as a playmate for their lil' doggie :) The lady asked about male vs. female and we just said all of us are dudes.

Can't believe tomorrow is September!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hmmmm I need a new page.  My current page is sooooooo last year.  I know my brother Boogie will be sportin' a new page in September (can't way why) as it's a surprise.  I know Hondo and Fido won't be changing theirs anytime soon as they refuse to change for the time being.

Mom is working on one for the twins.  So all that is left is my page.  Any suggestions on what I should do for my page? Sometimes it's hard to find good help.  What's a young man cat to do? :)

Hope everyone has a pawsome weekend!!!]]></content:encoded>

I miss how grandpaw wouldn't get tired of throwing my toy for me to fetch.  Mom and dad get tired after 20 min.  Please, Grandpaw is way older (2x and some) and he did it for at LEAST 30 minutes!

Mom just got done playing with me but is now on the typing machine.  Ummm hello? All her free time should be devoted to me! PLAY WITH ME! NON STOP!

Unfortunately, he agreed w/ mom in that I haven't really grown.  I'm a bit darker but still tiny :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh I'm soooooooo excited to see Grandpaw!!!! This time I'll be a man cat when I see him as I'm no longer "X" months old! I'm ONE thank you!

Mom thinks I like men more 'cause I sorta gave Grandpaw more love than I do with her :) Maybe it comes with the territory of being a man cat???

I like how he gives me tons of rubs and he doesn't mind throwing my toys for me to fetch.  Mom and dad don't mind playing fetch, but since Grandpaw doesn't see me much, he doesn't get tired as it's new for him.  Sometimes mom and dad will be watching that box thing in the living room with pictures that move, and they don't wanna play *hmph*.  So I won't be around much for a week :) I hope everyone is having a pawsome summer!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got to meet my unkie and auntie for the first time!! Oh my!! I had so much fun!!! I even let auntie trim my bee-hind 'cause us raggies have LONGGGGGGGGGGGG hair back there (and mom didn't know how to trim us).  Tiski got trimmed too, and Mittens more than likely wouldn't let her trim him MOL

When they arrived, my pawrents exchanged gifties! Aunti had made mom some lemon tea and transported it in a nice big jug, she also gave mom a Cinnemon Yankee candle, and a pretty pink photo album book that says "Family".  

We got a huge blue bed (Boogie loves it the mostest), and we got Tuna pounce treats, a pink cat toy ball toy, and a speedy snail squeak toy!

We sent them home with a gift for auntie (cutting boards) and some vanilla sachet packets.  Also since we kept spilling the drink fountain mom gave them ours (Not telling WHO kept dumping the water) :)

We gave them a can of solid gold, cat grass, large can of caviar, and I believe some party mix treats :)

After opening gifts, they went to San Vito's and then Maggie Moo's ice cream! Mom and dad treated them to the above.  Boy they were all full afterward.  Daddy and Unkie took a nap MOL Later that night they went to Legal Seafood where Unkie treated our family.

I kept visiting them at night and played with Auntie's feet hehe.  Me and Tiski were the most social, even Hondo and Boogie came out and let everyone pet them! Mittens came out a few times, but mostly hid in the pink hondo condo.  Fido? OMC! SCAREEEEEEEEEEEDY CAT!!!! He hid the entire time :) Since they left, he has emerged MOL

You know it's bad when Hondo is more social!!

**pics to be posted much later... Mom kneads a nap and is going w/ dad to buy another Trek bike**]]></content:encoded>

I hear it when I go to the drinkwell 360 and manage, with my paw, to sepurrate the two ends that meet to make the bubblies happen... In fact, I heard "Bad kitty, NOoooooooooooooooo" about 9 times in the span of about 3 minutes!! Auntie Barb can attest to that!

I don't know why I started doing this.  Mom is not pleased nor is Hondo! He comes running to mom to paw out that his beloved water fountain isn't working...

I'm the only one who fits in it now :) Hehe! Fido still does but the raggies are too fluffy.  Boogie is very bummed 'cause he's way to big and I think he was too big for it the previous round as mom can't find pics of him IN it from before... He has to pose in his build-a-bear outfit (I doubt he fits in that anymore too MOL)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Carcinoma on my right paw!!! YIKES!! 

So I just got back from seeing my pawsome vet Dr. Carskadden at Clocktower Animal Hospital as I have this thing on my right front pinky... Mom noticed it about 3 months ago and the vet said to keep an eye on it.  Last night while mom was brushing me she saw it was a bit longer.  

Basically it's like a wart/corn that was extending from my pinky paw pad.  So they are doing an "IDEXX Biopsy w/ Desc."  The good news is that he thinks it's a Carcinoma which isn't cancerous nor can be contagious.  If it was the other thing, *starts with a B, like Bowenoid or something* THAT is bad as it can be cancerous.

He was happy that he picked not only a small enough amt to get a biopsy, but he got the ENTIRE thing off!! MOL!! If it had roots, then that would have probably been a sign of cancer.  We'll know by Friday we hope :)

I'm a big boy! It didn't hurt! Time to post pics of me and my vet :)

PS.  Still 10.24 pounds!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my first 4th of July with my family!!! Hondo warned me and said I might hear some "KABOOMS".  I do not approve of such noise!! I don't like it when we get T-Storm Kabooms!!! Those scare me A LOT!!

I might be hangin' with Hondo behind the couch MOL

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOW!! I'm finally joining the ranks of my brothers!!! I've been a diary pick before but NEVER the Diary of THE Day!!

I'm still honored to be an honorary Canuck! MOL!!! 

Can you believe tomorrow will be July 1st?!?! That's also Canada Day!!! I wasn't very fond of one Canadian until recently... You see, this Canadian is named Sully... Once upon a time, I shared my Lambie with him and even sent 4 over for his birthday! Lambie never came home, that is UNTIL my 1st Birthday last Friday :) Thankfully, furrr Sully's sake, Lambie came home! So I now celebrate Canada Day :) hehe!

G'nite! Mom and dad are off to bed at 4am (he's not on nights until this weekend, but he was off for a week).]]></content:encoded>

I think that translates that I can beat up Sully if he ever tries to steal my lambie again!

And this also means that if he does, Jobél and family, will be by my side protecting me hehe!

Today there are 248 cats celebrating their birthday with me!!! WOW!! I had about 1% of my cuppycake today at the stroke of midnight :) Mom felt bad that she didn't have a candle but it's a good thing she didn't! I didn't hesitate licking the frosting :) Nom nom!! 

I also got weighed today... *sigh* 10.4 pounds.  My goal was to be 11 pounds by my birthday but that's ok :)

The shirt is white with orange and blue colors of fishies on it and stripes and it's so cute! I'm so stylish!!!

Mom will weigh me on my birthday! I hope I'm 11 pounds!!! I'm a light weight compared to my brothers.  Fido is the 2nd lightest cat at 13.1  The boy doesn't gain.  He seems to know portion control unlike Boogie and Mittens :)

In the meantime, I'm sad to report that Sully has taken my LAMBIE hostage!!!!!!! I gave him FOUR on his birthday but from the looks of the messages on my wall, Lambie might not be coming back! We shall see!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, what a fun filled packed day!

I'd like to wish <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/398261"><b> *SULLY* </a></b> a very Happy 4th Birthday! I decided to be the bigger cat and let him BORROW my lambie for his special day.  I know, can you believe it? He better take care of all FOUR of them! That's right! I made a few phone calls and was able to get a couple extras.  After all, I have a feeling he won't be returning them willingly, but I hope that the extras will feed his Lambie thirst and bring home MY lambie safe and sound :)

For Father's Day, daddy got his gift a couple days early.  We bought him an Nintendo DS Light as he recently became a fan of Saduko.  So mom bought him the two "Brain" games that he wanted.  He got them early 'cause mom wasn't sure what color he wanted MOL.  Mom liked the game so much that she also bought Grandpaw one for his Father's Day/Bday!! He'll get it in August as he just booked a flight to visit us for a week :) 

Happy Father's Day to all the daddys and to MY daddy Monte :)]]></content:encoded>

It'll be an all day party, and we'll be able to attend either at 5 pm EST or 7 pm EST.  We're not sure what time exactly 'cause our carpet dudes are coming in to install 3/4 of the carpet (the other 1/4 on Tuesday).

So naturally our internet MIGHT be down until we can plug it back in.  I told Pansy we're not sure if we have an internet plug in our Master bedroom (where some of our stuff will be, while we're on lock down with mom in the bathroom), but if we do? Then we'll be around more often! Mom is going to have dad move the dresser to see if we do.

We have the lappy but no internet connection plugie? No lappy!]]></content:encoded>

Boogie and Fido yack the most.  Mainly Boogie 'cause he probably eats too much :) hehe!

So I'm placing my bid.. I'm willing to bet 1 week's worth of nom noms that Boogie does!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I see I haven't updated my diary in a few days.  Nothing is really new here.  I'm still cute as all meow! Ummmmmm I'm back to 10.2 pounds again :) My raggie bros are huge compared to me, so more than likely I'll be your "normal" average sized Raggie, i.e. 13-15 ish pounds.  Mittens is just a monster :)

And that's one of his nick names!!

Ok, back to being cute and sleeping! Hope you all are doing well :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ *mrrrp* is the noise I made when me and Mittens saw a fly!!! It's very windy today so mom opened up the patio window.  A fly must have came in 'cause mom heard some commotion in our living room.

Me and Mittens were jumping on the sofa, looking at the ceiling and mom was like "What is it?" And she saw a fly! Unfortunately the fly was harmed as mom grabbed a magazine and the fly was gone... *hmph*

Me and Mittens saved the day! The rest of the gang didn't seem to care, and Hondo ran MOL!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just got back from a longgggggg stroll with Tiskers.  He's my strolling buddie even though he hogs the stroller in the front!

Mom slept in 'cause she's on dad's night shift sleep schedule.  When she woke up, Dad had made some Sushi for her! We don't like raw fish, and really only like shrimp sushi (CA rolls or Temptura) but at home, we mix a can of tuna with mayo, and use cucumbers instead of avacado 'cause mom doesn't like it MOL

Seriously, try it! I'll post pics up soon!

We all surprised mom with a medium sized heart SS locket from Tiffany's.  She was super surprised and had been eying that for a while.  The chain we bought wasn't the kind she liked, and since it happens to be the most popular one (what ever that oooo link looking one is) it's back ordered but we'll be getting a call Wednesday to pick it up.  While we were there, mom also picked out her late Bday gift.  She wanted the travel case and picked out Tiffany Blue.

Hondo was mad she didn't get pink MOL!!

Give all your meowmy's loviesssssssss! I'm serious!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<description>From Boogie's diary:

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ From Boogie's diary:

Mommy Samantha here. I am home with my baby Tiskers but it is with great difficulty that I report that the news isn't great.

I had noticed 2 days ago that Tiskers was breathing differently. He was on the computer desk with me and had a bad dream. When he woke up and calmed down, his breathing seemed more labored than normal. I could see that his sides were going in and out more than normal. Looking at the others, it was obvious that Tiskers breathing pattern was different.

Having never really payed attention to his breathing, for all I knew, this was "normal" but it wasn't normal for him as I would have seen this.

He had an appointment today at 11AM with the vet. While the vet heard no heart murmur, and things felt fine (other than a full bladder), we agreed to do blood tests and a Radiograph (x-rays of his heart/lungs).

The heart looked fine from the Radiograph, but near the lung area, there was what appeared to be some blockage (I forget what he said). So they took 2 more from different angles. We laughed as poor Tiskers had a lot of poopie in the x-ray...

I agreed that we should look into this more and he was able to get me into the Cardiologist in Leesburg, VA (15-20 min drive). Dan dropped me off as he had to go to class as it's finals week.

They took me back and I gave them the Radiograph CD and blood results (which were great!). They did an Ultra sound and Eciograph (spelling?). And while he told me the results, I just stood there numb.

Diagnosis:
-Moderate to borderline severe juvenile onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
-Severe posterior wall and apical left ventricular hypertrophy
-Mild left atrial chamber dilation
-Congestive heart failure manifested by pleural effusion

He is on Diltiazem 30mg 2x a day, Lasix/Furosemide 12.5 mg 2x a day, and Children's Apsril 81 mg (1/2 tab 2x weekly)

The outcome depends on how he takes the medicine. If he vomits and doesn't eat, then there's plan B, aka different meds.

Basically, to dumb it down... He had mild heart failure when we brought him in (he did get a Lasix shot), the left side of his heart is affected. The walls are thick in the left ventricular and there was fluid in the left av___ (forget what part of the heart). Unfortunately he won't have the long life we had hoped. The Cardiologist said he had a cat earlier with very similar readings who was here today for his 5 month checkup. But he did say, unfortunately, not to be morbid, since he is so young, he's guessing a year... As long as there's no clots (which can paralyze a cat and are PAINFUL), there will be no suffering and it would be quick.

Please keep my baby in your prayers. He's such a mommy's boy and I'm just devastated. We have been aware that Main Coons and Raggies are prone to getting Cardiomyopathy. They are not born with it.

I'd like to thank Barbi for being there the moment I got the news and for doing a diary entry for me and my baby Tiskers. Catster is a great place and a wealth of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your purrs.

Dan is going to Target to fill the prescriptions and I'm going to spend time with my baby...

Thank you,
Samantha and Tiskers]]></content:encoded>

I think... No, I'm CERTAIN he's lying... Maybe he's hoping he gets food out of it?

In the meantime, I furgive my alleged Lambie stealer... SOMEONE told me it was Pansy! But after careful research, I see that it's SULLY!! The sibling of Pansy!

He must be taught a lesson.  He surely underestimated lil' ol me!! Seriously, these baby blues may look innocent, but thinkith again! You have been warned!]]></content:encoded>

Piffffff what ever! Meow to the paw!!! I know this to be EVIL 'cause my mom gave me MY lambie! AND!! AND!! When mom stuffed it at Build A Bear, she got to put a heart inside MY Lambie, and she gave it a kiss as instructed!

He arrived yesterday April 22 and is staying for a week.  It'll be nice as he's here for mom's birthday! That hasn't happened since she was in High School.  In the meantime, mom is in disbelief that she's turning 31... She says she feels old...

My first impression of grandpaw was he was tall!! He's 6'2" and therefor an inch taller than MY daddy!

He gives me tons of lovies and lovesssssssssss playing with me :) I even flopped for him and he laughed! hehe! Miss all my friends but we'll be around, but not so much this week.  I gotta catch up on grandpaw lovies!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Easter Bunny Daddy Monte and family sent us an Easter goodie that arrived Friday but after mom was done teaching, she went and took pics.  So when she wanted to post them and send them to Auntie Barbi, our internet wasn't working! She called Verizon and our area was affected and she then waited impatiently for an hour to pass as she was told to call back w/in an hour to see what's going on as a "blip" had just came on the Verizon guy's computer.

Dad called an hour or so later and that's when we were told the service was out in our area and that some tech guy would be by tomorrow.

Saturday rolls around and the net is STILL down.  Mom is furious and calls Verizon only to be on hold for an hour.  What a bust... We didn't go to the meowathon either :(

FINALLY it came up late Saturday (today).  And NOW I can write about my gifties from daddy and post pics!

Daddy sent us a cute Easter goodie bag.  Inside were Jelly nom noms for mom and dad (mom ate them all MOL), a pretty Easter Bunny card, a blue BIG mousie, a white mousie and a famous Auntie nip pillow.  We also got a Thank you card from Snowmitts from his birthday :)  Thank you so much daddy! Mom just cut off the mousie tails (after taking pics of course) and now we're going to play while mom uploads the pics :)

Happy Easter all!!

BTW? When our net did come on? NOW our DVD/CD drive is opening and closing :( Allie's mom said our "cup holder" might be broken :( So mom's going to call Dell tomorrow! The past week w/ computers has been AWEFUL! First a virus, no net, and broken Cup Holder!!!!!!!!

And I gotta finish sending Easter Goodies to friends!]]></content:encoded>

Well dad said he'll be able to give me treats this week from work.  He's super nice and even goes to our friends' pages to give them treats too!

We're not doing anything for Easter.  Besides, dad works on Easter Day! Just as well as mom hates the traditional food, ham.  Mom despises ham!! Yuck!!! No matter how good one makes it, or how well of a cut or the part, etc., mom hates ham.  Same goes for Roast Beef! She'd be a vegetarian except she loves fish and Steak!]]></content:encoded>

I hope I don't get a Lion's cut! The only Lion I know is Lancelot and he SCARES ME!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Me and Fido were giving mom fits last night as she has been shutting the door at night so we won't run a muck and accidentally step on her face since she has stitches in her eyelids.

Of course, BOOGERS gets to sleep w/ mom 'cause he never does wrong.  I can't help it me and Fido get into trouble :)

But last night we were both clawing at the door and crying, "LET US IN".  Dad's on nights so even he couldn't help us :(

Right now dad's teaching at the Police Academy as he's going to get certified to teach.  I'm just wishing he was home to help us convince mom we should sleep with her :)

Thanks to the annonymousie catnip bubble giver who sent us this sweet message,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowweeeeeeee! I just saw that I'm a DDP!!! I got some pawmails and some gifties too!!! Thank you everyone!

And not only that, I woke up to SNOW!! And it's STICKING!! Once we get through the month of March, the odds of us having anymore snow/ice storms are slim.  2 days ago we had the air on as it was 70ish in No. VA! Then the day after it got colder and by mid day our fireplace was lit again.... And now today? SNOW AND COLD!! Brrrrrrr

When it's cold all of us gather on the bed with mom (once dad leaves for work 'cause he hogs the other side).  So mom was woken up by Mittens purring in her face and the rest of us on the bed :)

Eeeeeeeee!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I mightttttttt be close to 9 pounds... Probably 8.5 but mom and dad were noting that I looked a bit fluffier!

I'm thinking I'm going to be on the smaller/normal side like Tiskers.  Meanwhile, Boogers and Mittens maintain their big stature.

I'm still not a big moist eater... Although today for breakfast we had some meowmix and I made sure to lick the juice.  Naturally the others ate the chunks :)

Tonight we're going to have sushi I think! Mom's been wanting that Shrimp Tempura sans Guacamole, so I'm sure dad will pick that up on the way home :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First let me just say, I have the bestest DADDY EVER!! Daddy Monte and family sent us a Vday package! Oh boy oh boy!! I got a very cute Vday card and it was addressed to me, his SON!! Inside there was a very pretty heart box and inside red socks with Mr. Cupid on them for mom! Next I saw a very pretty red sash with silver hearts on it.  Inside were two catnip pillows with Vday print, a white sparkle ball (that'll go to Fido since mom accidentally threw the one he got for his bday from Monte and family MOL) and a very pretty pink BIG mousie! I bet that's for Hondo from Kashmere!

But that's not all! We got another baggie with candy chocolate hearts and a box of Sweethearts for mom! I don't know if mom will share with dad MOL!!

Thank you guys so much! Pics to be posted later!

We also got a Valentine's Day card from Gimli! Wow! Thanks dude!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oopsie, I forgot to mention last night but we have postponed my vet visit.  After 8am, I really didn't sneeze, so mom is watching me.  The vet agreed during a phone call that mom should see how I was throughout the day as she called the vet once it opened yesterday when she heard me sneeze.  Mom doesn't hesitate at all to bring us to the vet! So far today, no sneezies *scratches on post*.  Our vet is in Saturday if I have to see him (mom refuses to let us see any of the female vets).  Maybe I had dusty brains?

Thanks Muppet and daddy Monte for your rosette and concern.  Those must have worked!

Also, one of our besties is 4 years young today! <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/366097"><b> *ASPEN* </a></b> is another year old and looking great! There's an all day party <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/forums/Party_Time_and_Virtual_Play_Dates/thread/594964/last"><b> *HERE* </a></b> that his wonderful girlfriend is throwing for him!!!

I wonder where they'll go out to dinner? I love when they bring home doggie bags 'cause me and Tiskers love human food.  Mittens grew out of that (and also literally MOL he's huge!)

Weird how Mittens' girl Tessa had snow a few weeks back and they're further south than us.  We're right on the VA/MD border and we know MD has gotten snow a few times...

So now WE get it :) It's supposed to get bad tonight and tomorrow.  Daddy's hoping the county closes as he's "essential" and will get double time and a half if the county closes :)

Meanwhile, Grandpaw (who I have yet to meet, he's coming in March or April hopefully) is flying to TX in 2 hours for a few days on business.  Fido is mad 'cause he didn't take him MOL!! The place he's going is near Allie's house :)]]></content:encoded>

1.  I love sitting in the litter robot, don't know why... It doesn't stinkie 'cause it automatically cycles and dad does litter duty daily.   YES DAD DOES IT! Mom won't do litter box duty :)

2.  I no likey wet food! Give me DRY!

3.  Tiskers is my bestest

4.  I love playing peek-a-boo with my pawrents' sheets! Mom makes a tent by fluffing up the sheets and I go NUTS!

5.  I also like Abner love the laser light! It's my favorite toy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So when I first came home, I was sitting in the litter box, chillaxin' like Calvin says... Then I grew out of it... After all it's stinky in there no??

Even w/ the robot which cycles, while less stinky, I have recently been chillaxin' in there... Not sure why.

Also another bad habit I've developed? I don't let the robot cycle!! It'll start to do it's thing, and then I jump up on the ledge and peak inside to watch the poopies go away... This of course stops the robot and mom gets annoyed :) It takes about 2-3 min to cycle, but when I watch and mess things up? It takes about 10 min 'cause mom has to tell me, "Please stop" and then I do, and then she turns around, and we repeat the above! I'm good like that!]]></content:encoded>

Cannoli has a bushy tail too! The twins have a longer type of furry tail.  Mine's long too (not as) but it's crazy plush!

Lazy day here.  Dad is watching some football game, Fido is resting, Boogie and Mittens are eating, Tiskers is sleeping on mom's lap and I'm about ready to take a nap too! I was running around earlier as I was playing with Mr. Lazer pointer! I go nuts with that toy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Does your tail get all poofy when you run around like a crazy cat after the laser pointer?? Well, mine does and it gets REALLY big! 

I have the fluffiest tail in the family and my pawrents noticed that when I chase the laser pointer, my tail gets 2x bigger than it already is! It's HUGE!

But boy oh boy do I love that laser pointer!! I hate when I run onto the kitchen floor as I slide around :) Mom just laughs.

I also hate when Boogie and Tiskers are all up in my face trying to get in on the laser action! Ahem? It's MINE! OUTTA MY WAY!!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brother Cannoli is 10.4 ounds!!! He's almost as big as Tiskers and Fido! I'm still 7 ish pounds.  Maybe I'm going to take after my mom as she was naturally smaller than my big big daddy Monte!

Mom thinks I'll be a lot like Tiskers in size.  Big furr wize but weight wise, medium.  Mittens is still a monster.  That's one of his nicknames too :) He's almost 19 pounds... Mom calls him a lard bum!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yup, we've done good the past 2 months in not buying zealies.  Mom realized it's silly to have spent a few thousand on them when the $ doesn't go towards an animal shelter.  So instead, this past Catmas we donated a good amt to Fancy Pets (where Boogie and Hondo were adopted) and plan to do that quarterly.  Plus it's a nice tax break so win win.

I don't know what taxes are as I don't pay them, but mom and dad do.  They're hoping they don't have to pay into taxes this  year... Taxes don't sound like much fun!!! Mom plans to get theirs done by Feb as that's when most of their forms are in.  

I hope to also put up more pictures of me!! We got so busy around the holidays for the first time ever (I'm told) but mom hopes to take more.  She wants a new camera, but figures the one we've been using for 4 years (maybe going on 5) works good enough.  It's an old Canon A610 with 4 px I think? I heard they're now up to like 12! MOL

Mom's 15 year HS reunion is in 2 years from now (approaching year 13) and she's gotten a few emails from friends (who she hasn't heard from in years) that "She must go!".  NO WAY says mom!!! She vows NEVER to attend a HS reunion.  She'd do a college one before a HS.  If everyone hates them, then why go?]]></content:encoded>

I am though 6 months so I'm half way there!! I'm hoping everyone has a safe New Years!!! I have no resolution.  Really the only ones in our family that do is Boogie (to loose weight), Hondo (to be less skittish), and mom to reduce her pop intake.

Happy New Year everyone!!!]]></content:encoded>

In fact, I'll be 1 year old by then!!! I'm sure it'll be PG13, so at least I'm closer to legal age, not that would be a problem as I have a wand and I would apparate into the theater anyway :)

My girl Sprinkles has a bday tomorrow but I haven't heard from her since Catmas so she might be out of town.  I was flattered that she liked me :) 

Time to help Fido with dinner!]]></content:encoded>

Well it's a good thing we got some shut eye 'cause Santa came! HE CAME!! I didn't see him :( But I did leave a piece of Chocolate cake for him/her :)

Santa paws and my pawrents (totally two DIFFERENT people!!!!!!!!) gave us a big box of Meow Mix "Wholesome Goodness" seafood pack and a sage thermal bed that plugs into the wall! As Boogie meowed, Skeezix's Catster blog had a list of gifts that were cool! No way would mom get us another catpost no matter how much Boogie complained... So we asked for the next best thing! 

I wonder who will sit in it first? I'm hoping Mittens so he can stretch it out MOL!!!!!]]></content:encoded>

We just got done opening a big box from <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/424024"><b> *MURRAY AND FAM* </a></b> They sent me my own Catmas stocking which was filled to the brim with toys! I'm starting to like this Catmas holiday! I have a feeling Newman, although bad sometimes (I've seen THOSE pictures), will see Santa Paws this year or that Chaunakah dude just like me! Eeeeeeee

Meowy Catmas to all our friends! We hope 2009 is just as good if not better than 2008 was :)

Thanks Pansy for my snowdude and I got your message *wink*

PS I see that I got my first paw rating: 4  Mom says I'm cuter than a 4 but what can you do.  We always give cats 5's.  Numbers don't mean a thing, it's what's inside that counts!]]></content:encoded>

He turns 5 December 23, 2008 (Tuesday) so there's an all day party for him.  The theme is Harry Potter and Tiki of course!!! I'm off to get my party shoes on :)

Also today we got a huge package from Cannoli and family! Inside were our catmas gifts and Boogie got a very nice bday gift (read his diary).  We got: A cute stocking with Monte on the front and a candy cane inside, can of cat food for me, 2 holiday balls and a white festive mousie, a reindeer catnip filled toy, and a Santa paws play wand!! They also sent mom a YUMMY Yankee *sugar plum* which is one of mom's FAVORITE scents! Also she got two pairs of warm sockies (one has a cute cat on them) MOL!! Thank you so much guys!!  We also got a nice picture card of Cannoli and Picasso in the mail :)

Speaking of cards, we also got a handsome picture card of Sammie and KiKi, a really pretty home made card from Remus and family, and Chrissy in NJ sent us a card WITH some of her cat furr inside!! MOL!! Thanks guys!!]]></content:encoded>

Well I decided time is of the essence! So we agreed to get to know each other and she's my kitty girlfriend/crush/cutie :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom is crying while typing and is just so devastated... It is with deepest regret that I inform you that <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/411606"><b> *Picasso* </a></b> has passed onto Rainbow bridge.  

Mom just got off the phone with Picasso's mom and we promised her we'd inform her friends in diaries, groups, and some personal pawmails.

As you've read in his latest diaries he hasn't been eating as much (and we know he had a good appetite), but his mom was concerned and brought him to the vet.  On his way there, he started to breath very heavy since he had Cardiomyopathy.  The vet did administer a Lasix shot which usually helps.  His heart was hard to listen to as there was a lot of fluids in the heart. The vet said that he would be ok to go home as there wasn't much they could do that wasn't done already.  They decided to let Picasso go home, try and relax as a vet visit is stressful for a LOT of cats.  After Barb paid for the bill, she was 2 steps out of the vet's door when Picasso started to breath and make loud sounds.  

We're all in disbelief, shock, and very upset to say that Picasso went to the bridge today due to congestive heart failure.  His mom went WELL and beyond to care for Picasso... Our family is SO HONORED to have met him 2x.  He truly is a remarkable cat.  We have all received a very special angel from the Bridge who is looking down on all of us.

I'm so sorry Barb and Rob.  We are beyond sad to hear of this news... *hugs*

I will ALWAYS love you Picasso! As my half brother and best friend...]]></content:encoded>

While they were out, I held down the fort :) Dad got some medicine for his infection.  He has Doxycycl to take for 10 days and some nasal spray.

Thank you all for making my DDP day so special!! Mom did finish her book last night and she enjoyed the entire "Twilight" series.  She's a bit sleep deprived so she's going to take a nap (I'll hide under her covers while she does this).

Dad is calling in sick today as he might have mersa... So mom is taking care of him.  He has to wake up at 5AM to call in sick (can't call the day prior), but hopefully some antibiotics will help.  Mersa is in his work place (nice no?)

Mom has to pick up her contacts, is still fighting with UPS about a claim, and then has to buy some of her girlfriends a Catmas gift.  Then she's going to bare the USPS and then teach at  home.

I hope my buddie Spike is doing better.  I know he appreciated the purrrs.  He has an ultrasound for his heart murmur Jan 31st.  Be strong dude!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My fellow kitten friend <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/884756"><b> *Spike* </a></b> could use some purrs.  We're both HP fans and we both had eye issues (both fixed).  But he might have a heart murmur... I'm purring that it's just gas or indigestion :) Sending purrrs your way Spike!

BTW? I haven't figured nip out yet, but I know most kittens don't take to it for a while... Spike's nip looks good... Hmmmmmmmm

BTW squared? Mom can't fall back asleep (see Boogers' diary as to why she's up *coughMITTENS*)]]></content:encoded>

I wonder what Santa Paws will bring me! I know Mittens is hoping he'll get some cookies, Hondo treats, Boogie FOOD, Tiskers lovies, Fido his Allie...

I just want to be loved :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YAY! Friday was the last day of meds.  My eye is much better looking :) The only bad thing? I heard something about a "bath" later this week... Boogie told me, "Porkers, baths are PAWSOME! You'll love them!!!"

And then Hondo said, with fear in his eyes, "NOOOoooooooooo RUN PORKERS! RUN!!! Baths are NOT cool!!!"

The thing is? I need one... The ointment from my eyes is all on my chest and upper paws near the arm pit.  When I had ointment on my face, I did what most cats do... I rubbed my eyes, whipped my meds off, licked myself clean, etc.,  But that of course meant that my chest furr area is sorta greasy looking.  

A while back I had... a messy litter box... Dad scooped me up and under warm water washed my back half with water.  I didn't seem to mind :) So here's hoping Mr. Bath and I get along!]]></content:encoded>

I'm thankful I have a loving home and friends! Who'da thought that life could be so grand? 

Mom's been working on our pages the past few days in small spurts and managed to take a picture of me and Mittens.  She has to work on the other 4 :) Can't believe it's almost Catmas! I heard Santa Paws comes and brings gifts and extra love!]]></content:encoded>

I'm 6.7 pounds, Karisma is 6.9, and Cannoli is 7.5!!! WOAH!! I gotta gain weight as I'm the runt of the trio MOL Funny, I'm 2 weeks older :)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today my dad celebrates his 28th birthday! Mom took him out for a nice steak dinner last night as he has class today... 

As mentioned before in one of our diaries, we got dad a nice charcoal gray wool coat and a dark tan suit and matching tie at Hugo Boss, dad's favorite store.  It didn't take them long to do the alterations as they haven't been as busy since the economy is not so good.  I must say, he looks handsome! Hondo approved :)]]></content:encoded>

OMC!! ME!! ME!! Finally, my first DDP Honor!! My brother Cannoli and sister Karisma have both been DDP's, but alas, I can join them in on the fun!

I also share this day with pretty <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/56398"><b> *Mercy* </a></b>

Please still purr for the sick cats! My eyes are getting better I think? It's hard to tell as the Terramyacin makes my eyes all gooey looking.  My right eye is more open though so that's good :) 

Thanks to: Hazel Lucy (pawmail),  Ivan, Boo and fam (turkey), Margo (football), Sammie and KiKi (pilgrim hat), Lancelot (turkey), Chelsea Louise (mousie), Karisma (pilgrim hat), Lucky (pawmail), Gimme dude (shades), Cannoli (turkey), Samoa and fam (drumstick), Mercy (football), Chai Latte-Capone and fam (turkey), Isabelle Love (pawmail), Unkies Nikko and Scooter (pumpkin), Pawstuctaway Serengeti (pawmail), Sadie (diamond), Albus (pilgrim hat), BUDDIE..ALWAYS LOVED (Buddie's Well Wishers GANG Healing Rosette), Harry (turkey), Pansy (truthful pawmail), Sampson Silver Dollar (drumstick), Teebo and Callie (pilgrim hat), Freddie H. Mac and fam (heart), Luci (blue ribbon), Mathis der Meowler (pawmail)

<b>Thanks for the kind get well purrs.  I haven't been on the meds for an entire week yet.  But at least my right eye isn't half open.  I do hate the clavimox and that supplement goo.  Eye meds aren't fun either.  But I'm a big boy!</b>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Back from the vet!!

6.3 pounds!! The vet thinks it might be a viral thing but he gave me tons of meds!

I didn't like that white stick going up my bum, but even though prior they took my temp through the ear, they wanted to make sure I didn't have a fever...

So I have Terramycin Ophth Ointment 2x a day, Duralactin Fe L-Lysine (it's a gel that can go in the food, yeah right, or in my mouth 2x a day), and good old Clavamox.  If I'm still sneezing then I can get more Clavamox :)

The Euromyacin that we got last time should have worked, but this greenish boogie in my eyes came back and boy oh boy does it muck my my fur! MOL!

Time to rest...

Tankies go to Pansy for giving me Booger and BOOGIE advice, HL for purrs, Margo for my power of the purrr paw, Cannoli for my red rosette, Isis for the power of the purrr paw, Ozzy for the power of the purrr paw, Albus for the power of the purrr paw :)]]></content:encoded>

1.  While I like moist food, I'm more of a dry food eater! Mmmmm

2.  I recently discovered the laser pointer and OMC! It's pawsome! Kicks tail!

3.  I'm not at all intimidated by my brothers :) I like to start play fights :)

4.  I'm still the biggest kneader in the family :) Good exercise!

5.  I'm a piggy when I eat :) My ruff tends to get dirty and acts as a bib when I eat :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In about 12 hours mom teaches a few music lessons in our home.  There's one student in particular that we ALL like!! Her name is Miya and she plays oboe.  Mom's been teaching her since we moved to VA 5 years ago.

Mom actually subbed for the other oboe teacher, and Miya decided mom was a better teacher/fit and the rest is history.  It works out well as mom loves teaching her! She's quite good!!! She is a 9th grader who plays at the level of most 11th graders :)

Well, when she comes, Boogie likes to scratch/play with her shoes... The raggie twins sit behind her, and I walk up to her and want to get petted :) You'd think the oboe noise would annoy us but it doesn't!

Hondo and Fido usually sleep during her lesson.  Anymeow, I'm excited to hear her play :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oooooooo I get to play with the big boys! I was tagged by <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/802311"><b> *TANIS* </a></b> and <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/556451"><b> *PAWSTUCTAWAY* </a></b>

First Tanis' tag game: I am to say 5 interesting things about me or my brofurs and then tag 5 furrends...

1) I have a brown chin which should be white as in most bi-colors, but that's what drew mom to me :)

2) I have the bluest eyes mom has ever seen!

3) When I came home, I had pretty bad gas MOL

4) I'm not afraid of my brothers, who weigh 2-3x more than me! I have no problem wresting with them!

5) I am the biggest kneader in the family :)

--

Now for Paws' tag game: I must reply with 7 things you don't know about me.

1) I don't care too much for moist food, I'm a dry cat food eater!

2) I often sleep on cold floors, aka the kitchen corner is especially comfy--I don't know why I don't use the billion beds we have???

3) My poo is still sometimes soft.  I may suffer from the frequent squirts like Skeezix?

4) I can't wait to see what this Catmas stuff is!

5) I run sorta sideways like my other two raggie brothers (must be a raggie thing?)

6) My daddy Monte is a triple grand champ I thinkie... Cannoli would know all the details, but I come from a huge line that has done well in shows!

7) I am not a jealous cat.  I know with Boogie and Tiskers, if mom gives the others attention, THEY get jealous, NOT ME!]]></content:encoded>

I've recently discovered the art of attacking one's feet while the humans are sleeping :) Oooooooooo so much fun!

I also love this thing called "Laser pointer".  OMC!! It's amazing! I run around like a wild man! It's the laser pointer Fido got from Unkie Miles almost 2 years ago (same batteries too).

Let's see what else... I love getting brushed (unlike Mittens) and I just got my nails clipped :) I don't mind that as long as dad holds me while mom clips! Anymeow, time to get my afternoon snackie! I hope to have gained a bit in the weight department.  I'll get weighed later :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ So mom and dad were eating cod tonight for dinner along with some potatoes.  Towards the end of their dinner I jumped onto the table they were eating at and snuck a piece of cod :) It was sooooooooo good that I started to make "Nom nom" noises! This was after all my first taste of cod (maybe 2nd?).

So mom had dad get the camera out so they could record! We do not encourage human table scraps at our home, nor do we get to jump on tables while our pawrents eat, but c'mon... This was cute!

Video to be uploaded in a sec!

I'm also happy to hear that Cannoli met his daddy Rob for the first time today! I can't wait to get the juicy details!]]></content:encoded>

Can you tell the difference between Mittens and Tiskers? YOU SHOULD! Mittens is 4-5 pounds heavier than Tiskers! Tiskers is your "average" ragdoll weight, but Mittens is just... Muscular... He took after his daddy Boris!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ooooooooo a new month! The weather is getting cooler and I'm still having fun here! I often squirm when I get picked up as I wanna play with the big boys! Mom has yet to film me boppin' the big dudes.  Last night me and Tiskers were wrestling and I kept hearing, "BE GENTLE TISKERS".  Seriously, he couldn't hurt me if he tried :)

Daddy's bday is this month and mom is trying to figure out what to do for him... All I know is that it involves Steak! MOL!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We're huge fans of Skeezix's blog not only HIS blog, but the catster one.  We just read <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://blogs.catster.com/the-cats-meow-a-cat-and-kitten-blog/economic-downturn-hits-shelters-hard/2008/10/27/"><b> *THIS* </a></b> article and how sad... We hadn't even thought of this, but with the world in a financial crisis, it didn't even dawn on us that people are giving up their pets due to cost or having to move to a place that won't allow pets.

If mom had millions and millions, she would start a shelter.  Funny thing is mom and Simba's mom both meowed about that the last time they meowed.  There are 3 no kill shelters in our area that we know of, but I have a feeling they'll be over populated pretty soon...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MOL Seems my music player and theme song is a hit or miss as of late.  For a while we didn't hear music as a message on the music box had an error.  Mom knows she did the code right so must have been a hair ball on their end.

Things here have been uneventful.  Mom decided to start teaching again in Nov.  She wasn't sure how long she'd be off due to her lid surgery.  Left eye still is like 1 mm more swollen but most wouldn't notice.  While 1 mm seems TINY? Trust me, mom notices it and really 1 mm is a huge difference.  Even .5 mm is a big difference.  Like in jewelery, she doesn't like bands over 2 mm so the 2.5 mm bands you see (which is like the norm for most) is too thick for mom's likes.  Seriously, she has eyes like a hawk!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow, it's been 5 days or so since I last wrote.  During mom's recovery, my squishy poo has finally gotten better w/ the meds.  It's not perfect yet but we're getting there! There was of course, nothing wrong with my sample, so it's just me getting used to the food.  I'm like my big brother Picasso in that I'm a HUGE dry food eater.  Mom was worried as I didn't care for moist (other than tiki--go figure) but mom wants me to eat FAT not so much protein for now.

While mom's been recovering for 5 days, she opted for the couch as she didn't want us jumping on her face at night.  So dad got the bed to himself and ONLY Boogie and Tiskers could sleep with mom (the rest of us can do acrobat tricks at night and dad said NO WAY boys).

During this time mom noticed I'm sorta clinging to dad.  She hopes I turn into a momma's boy, we shall see :) Give me tiki and I might! MOL

Thanks again for the purrs for mom and to the following cats:

Pansy (shades), Hunter and family (paw), Cannoli and fam (shades), Karisma and fam (paw), and Sadie for the BOOOOOOOO!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In fact, mom just uploaded a new 2 minute video of me kneading for Calvin's "I Knead You" group! After a while mom got tired and stopped filming, but I kneaded for a good 5 minutes :)

If you turn your volume up, in the middle you'll hear me purrrrrrrr.  It's a unique purrrr IMO!

My video will give you the tails up when to turn the volume up :) The video can be heard and seen <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/video/885741/kneading_kneading_kneading"><b> *HERE* </a></b>

Give it a moment to load up as w/ the new video system it takes a few minutes before it shows :)

EDIT: Ooooo mom just dropped off my poo sample! I made it hard for her as I cover my stuff FAST.  So mom had to be creative to get a sample considering there was litter all over it! MWUAHAHA]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mmmmmm *licks chops as the Vet gave me CHEESE WHIZ while I got a shot*

That's right! I just got back from the Vet where I got my first comprehensive exam, rabies shot, and discussed my poopies.  Mom has to bring in a sample too.

I got a yucky rabies shot and it didn't hurt too bad, but then again I was licking the whiz (Pansy would be jealous).  I also got some "Metronidazoleliq 100mg/Ml" for my poopies until mom can bring in a sample.  

I'm currently 4.6 pounds too!

Other than that and $128.58 later? I'm good to go for 2 more weeks.  I need one more treatment of the distemper I believe... 16 week shots.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh noes... So 2 weeks ago mom had scheduled me and Hondo to see our vet as my poopies were a bit smooshy and Hondo kneaded his 3 year rabies shot.  Well quite a few catsters said being that it was only a few days since I had arrived home, to give my tummy a couple more days to see if my poopies would firm up (maybe stress, new food, etc).

Well we're going on almost 2 weeks so mom made an appointment for me tomorrow at 11AM.  Hondo and I will still go to the vet in a few more weeks for his Rabies when I get my 16 week shots.

Otherwise I'm happy and healthy.  Just have smooshy poo MOL]]></content:encoded>

Inside the box of course were things for Boogie as Pansy is his bestest bestie even though they are constantly at war:)

But wait! There were goodies for ME AND ONLY ME! I got the Kitty Hootz Appeteasers catnip toy collection! I have a cute sardine dude and a purple mouse dude and there was a cute note that said:

"These are for PorkChop.  Paws OFF Boogers" MOL!!! Thanks so much Pansy!

Although Boogie lets me play and bite his tail, I don't get why he doesn't love Pansy! She's so nice! What ever could he mean that she's EVIL!?! I'm joining Pansy's side as Boogie doesn't share his food or anything with me :)

Tiskers tends to play with me the mostest, but I love that Boogers cat.  He's really friendly and I loveeeeeeeee to play with his tail :)

Hondo just stares at me, but he loves me.  Mittens and I play tag and boy oh boy could he use the exercise MOL.  Fido sorta ignores me, but we're cool.  Have a great weekend friends!]]></content:encoded>

We all have the same father (Monte).  She is my half sister and litter mate and sibling of Cannoli.  Since Picasso's father is also Monte, we're all related :) How pawsome is that?!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HOLY KITTENS! One of my toys got destroyed as I chewed the feathers off and inside this beanie like ball, the stuff came out.  So mom had to vacuum.  I've never heard one of those until today.

I rannnnnnnnnnnnnnn under the bed, Fido came flying out from the bedroom and hid, Hondo went behind the sofa, Boogie just chilled on the bed, and the raggie twins just laid there.

WHY on earth would they want to endure that noise?!? It was awful! I hate that thing!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm officially able to mingle with EVERYONE! Mom had a good talk with Mittens and Tiskers and said, "YOU GUYS be nice, he's here to stay, no swatting, be nice!!" and it worked!

At night I might be stuck in the humans bedroom alone for a few more days, but soon mom will trust me with everyone 24/7 

In the meantime I hear mom ordered something for Hondo just because!! Ooooo can't wait to get it!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'll play as it's the first time I've been tagged!

Ok I have been tagged to play the 7 things about me game of tag. I was tagged by <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/798691"><b> *PAWLETTE* </a></b>

The rules are that I will tell you 7 really cool things about my favorite subject; ME! Then I will tag 7 furriends & send them a pmail or a pawsome rosie telling them to read my diary for the rules how to play!

So here goes 7 really cool things about me:

1.  Tiskers keeps bopping me on the head... It's not cool but it's news!
2.  I have destroyed 2 feather toys (I pulled them off)
3.  I had my first taste of human food (turkey from mom's Sub) Shhhhhhh!
4.  I have a brown chin (unique as Bi-Colors have WHITE chins)
5.  My eyes are super duper blue (the deepest blue the breeder has ever seeen).
6.  I'm exactly 10 months younger than the raggie twins! (We're born on the 26th!)
7.  Mom adopted 3 cats in one calender year!

PHEW!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is the first day I was able to roam around for 15 min with ALL my brothers! Boogie and Hondo are sooooo much fun! Fido to EVERYONE'S surprise hissed once on day one and isn't picking on me! My pawrents are surprised as they figured he'd be the worstest!

Mittens just hisses at me, as does Tiskers, but Tiskers bopped me a few times on my head.  I of course returned the favor :)

Making progress! Now, if we could just firm up my poopies... If it's not more solid by Saturday, I'll go the vet and get Albon like Newman :)]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Even though I sorta bopped them both on the head once lightly, they aren't bad!! They never hissed at me, rather I did the first day :)

But yesterday and today? We touched noses and ME LIKEY THEM!!!

Now... Fido is warming up to me, but the two Raggie twins? THEY HATE ME :(

They keep making weird noises, hisssssssing, and want nothing to do with me :( Oh noes... Mind you, they  had NO problem sniffing MY KITTEN food though!

Time to cool my sore bum in the litter box (being freshly neutered is still not so great).

I still don't eat a lot of moist.  Gone through almost one can in 24 hours.  Then there's lil' Newman who doesn't like dry MOL]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Zzzzz that's what I did with mom all night! I'm a momma's boy! And mom swears, I kneaded for 22 of the 24 hours :) I fell asleep kneading mom!

She was a bit worried as I didn't drink or eat yesterday.  So today she brought out the big guns: Tiki and Sheba (not a meal, but she wanted me to eat!).  I even had ProPlan and Medley's but I went straight for the Tiki and Sheba.

I also didn't drink much if at all yesterday so mom was worried and today brought out a water dish, but I just now conquered the drinkwell:)

I'm so far COMPLETELY the opposite of how the twins were when they came home, aka NORMAL!

Mittens and Tiskers dominated cans of food upon arrival, drank a lot of water, ran a muck, kept mom AWAKE for over a month, getting into things...

Me? I'm chill' like a normal raggie! I let mom sleep!!! She's shocked!

The other 5 slept in another room and daddy gave us love.  The twins are really curious and I can smell them under the door.

UPDATE: Dad is off to PetSmart to get kitten food without chunks, I don't think I like chunky food, but rather pate' like food...]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just got done taking MORE pictures! When my pawrents left the breeders in PA, she sent me home with a gift bag of goodies! I got a pawsome turbo scratcher (which I figured out in less than 5 minutes, AND I scratched the middle section!), a soft bunny toy, 2 cans of moist food (I am working on one can), dry cat food, a pawsome scrap book that comes with stickers and goodies, and a wand toy! That was so nice of her! Thank you Lisa!

Mom also gave Lisa a giftie too.  She gave her two Yankee candles, and a paw print picture frame :)

Mom is working on 3 new videos for me now! Eeeee]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ MEOW!! I've been in my new home for almost 2 hours! My parents left at 9AM and arrived in PA a little before Noon.  They picked up gas before heading to the breeders.  Gas was cheap I'm told at $3.47!! The drive was smooth and the weather was just overcast; no rain :)

Anymeow I'm loving it here! I didn't cry at ALL on the ride home other than a couple "meows".  Then I went to sleep on the ride home.  I'm also a kneader! When I woke up a few times, I started to knead :) I also in my sleep let a few stinkies go by MOL :)

I'm not going to meet my brothers until later this week.  I'm tiny you see.  I did get to briefly see my Raggie brothers but they HISSED AT ME!! OMC! I just stared at them like "What?"

I'm off to upload pictures and my first video! Also we knead to send NBK, Andre, and Gnomey healing rosettes.  They have had a bad belly for over a week :(

PS.  I also got some goodies and toys from the nice lady who helped me into this world! I'll post a list of goodies and pictures in a few! I knead to take a nap!]]></content:encoded>

Since the weather is supposed to be yucky, Barbi won't be meeting us.  So my pawrents will arrive in PA at noon, stay for a bit, and then leave and will thankfully miss rush hour traffic!! Don't worry, we'll drive safe :)

Mom is bummed she can't see Auntie Barbi and especially  her cats, but they're only a 2.5 hour drive :) Dad is bummed he can't get Tony Lukes! MOL!!!!!!!!!! If you're near Philly, GO THERE! OMC OMC OMC! Good food I hear!

See ya tomorrow!! Oh, I weigh 4.3 pounds!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ EEEP! I'm getting fixed today! In fact it might just have finished.  I know I'll be ok :) WHY? 'Cause I'm coming home tomorow!!!! Evil mother nature is predicting bad weather so we might just go to PA to pick me up and straight home.  The original plan was to leave at 5am to avoid DC/MD traffic, arrive at Barb's at 8ish, play with her cats, go to Tony Lukes, and then the breeders, leave around 2?, and sit in traffic for 5+ hours (for a would be normal 2.5 hour drive home).

I'll give an update later on my V-E-T visit and our plans.  See you all soon!!!

Thanks Picasso for the power of the paw rosette!! BTW?! Did you see my  half brother <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/887499"><b> *CANNOLI'S PAGE?* </a></b> Check him out!]]></content:encoded>

Thank you all for your warm and kind welcoming to Catster! I've already made a lot of friends and I can't wait to "meet" you all soon! Bummer I can't play on forums for a few weeks MOL.  Forgot about that Catster rule...

Mom's a bit busier this week as she had to rearrange her Friday students so she could be off to get me! Anymeow, I'll be in touch and will keep you updated on my surgery Thursday (fixed).  Eeeep!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow? Anyone there? Hi! I'm new to Catster and will be coming home September 26!! Mom didn't tell many of our Catster friends about me, but only a couple knew.  Mom wanted to surprise you all!

I'm the half brother of Picasso as we have the same dad (Monte).  How cool is that!

I even have an unkie already! When Miles and family knew of our news, lil' <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/424024"><b> *MURRAY* </a></b> stepped up to the plate and asked to be my unkie!!

I get neutered September 25.  I'm a bit nervous but I know I'll be ok.  The 26th, mom and dad are driving to NJ to visit Picasso and family! But that's not all! If you read their diaries <a  class=bodyTextRev target=site href="http://www.catster.com/cats/411606"><b> *HERE* </a></b> they too have news!!

The name PorkChop came when mom first saw my picture (we have yet to meet).  She noticed my mask sorta looked like a porkchop and even said aloud "Oh he's cute as a porkchop".  The rest is history!

My eyes are super blue and not touched up in my pictures! The breeder mentioned I have the bluest eyes she has seen! Of course! I'm Picasso's half brother and he has stunning eyes too!

PS the stain in my ruff will go away--it's food stains! MOVE OVER BOOGERS!!!! I too love food!]]></content:encoded>
