		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday morning there was this very big mouse in the neighbor's backyard!  I couldn't take my eyes off the thing!!  I never seen one like this before!

I called Mommy to come and look at the thing and she told me it wasn't a mouse but a groundhog and I wouldn't want to mess with it.  

Oh well!  It looked harmless to me because all it did was graze the clover patch in the neighbor's yard just like bunnies do.

Lastly, today is the first day that it hasn't rained.  I hope it stays sunny for the rest of the week and the weekend.  Mommy has a yardsale on Saturday and doesn't want it rained out!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did get to be one of the DIARY PICKS  writing about ham!
Thank you so much Diary Gal for this pawsome honor!

I also thank my following friends for their gifts & concats:

1.  TATE - cute bluebird;
2.  TONY & ANNA - cool kite;
3.  MILO BLUE EYES & Family - pretty red rosette & cool comment;
4.  ANGEL BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
5.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail;


Lastly, I wish Joss would stop picking on me!  She thinks she's a dog because she's bigger and can play fetch.  Mommy says it's Karma because I used to case Cam all the time.  You know "what comes around goes around".  Whatever!  

Anyway, I wish Joss would cool it!

Got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love ham and want some more now!  I can't wait until Mommy opens up that 'fridge and lets me at the stuff!

She, of course, only gave me and the others a little taste.  She says ham is too salty and not that great for us because of that.  So what, I say.  There's plenty of water in our dishes and more coming out of those faucets!

Sorry for not writing since March.  It's been a rough winter and spring so far.  

Well, I must go now and take a nap in the"bedestal"

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Joss runs around the house and meows loudly while doing so.  She even goes into the bathtub and chases her tail around and around while meowing at it!  Crazy sis!

I'm also another crazy cat in the house.  I get the cat crazies while Mommy's eating her breakfast.  I take a running leap and fly up to the cabinets over top of the kitchen sink and then I tight walk behind the valance connecting the two cabinets.  I love doing this and it ticks Mommy off so much!  She was hoping my legs had gotten too long to go up there anymore.  Nope I can still do this.  Merl's the one who has gotten too big and long to go up there or even on top of the pantry (another fav spot for me to jump).  Merl still can make it up to the one over the 'fridge though.

Well, I hope everycat enjoys our St. Pat's pages!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy and I have noticed the Catster photo-loading fleas are attacking my page.  She loaded up three photos last night and two more this morning to no avail.  Where the pictures should be, are blank spots!  What gives with this??

Is anycat else having this problem?  She managed to load stuff onto Bail's page, Joss' page and Sampy's page last weekend; it took forever, but they did load.  Is it Mommy's new camera or what??

I'm going to have to write to HQ about this.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!  Has anycat's Mommy or Daddy ever run across this pawsome video called "The Two Talking Cats" on a place called "You Tube"?  These two kitties speak my language "Breeps" and I always answer them when Mommy plays this video for me.  It's so cool!  These are two lady cats named "Stiny" and "Mossy" and they Breep to each other during the whole video.

None of my sibs react to this video.  They only walk away and pay it no mind.

Anyway, we got our first real snow today.  It was about 2" and was just enough to have our street plowed this morning.  Now, the snow has melted off the streets and sidewalks while some still is sticking to the grass.  More snow is expected for Friday.  Mommy wants to get a few shots of it with her new camera.

Well, I must go now, It's bedtime.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy just called the house and told us kitties that it was snowing in Greenbelt.  We live in College Park.  I ran to the window, and sure enough there were a few little flakes coming down.  This is a surprise as snow wasn't predicted for today in our part of Maryland.  We hope it doesn't get too bad and sticks to everything.  If it does stick, let it be only on the grass.

If there's snow all over the place, Auntie Mary won't be able to make it here on Catmas day.

Anyway, I'm going to run now.

Merry Catmas to all my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy did a photo shoot of Joss and I today and we look purrty classy!  I love the Catmas Calvin collar on me!  I look very cool in it.  Also, Joss looks like a little angel in her plaid jingle collar.  I'm surprised that she let Mommy take two whole pics of her wearing it.  Afterwards, Joss wanted to chew on one of the bells.

Oh well!

Lastly, Merl bopped me in the butt this morning.  I'm glad Mommy was there when it happened.  She told us both to cool it.

Lastly, I too, concat Joss on being so famous this weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yes, I've been a bad boy over a week ago.  I regret piercing Merl's ear and I believe it was self-defense at the same time.  I don't remember exactly how the fight began but it ended with Merl pinning me down. I panicked and bit down on his left ear a bit too hard causing the piercing.

I'm glad his wound has healed nicely.  So's Mommy.  She didn't come down hard on me either; she knew the whole thing was self defense 'cause she's seen Merl pin me down before in the past.

Anyway, Merl and I are respecting each other and not fighting.  I hope we stay that way.  Merl, basically, is a loner and doesn't like to be jumped on and roughed up.  

Other than that, Jocelyn Mae and I are still playing and when I get tired I just up and leave.  Sometimes, I'll hiss at her.  I don't want to get pinned down by her and end up piercing her ear too.  That would not be good at all.

That's about it.  I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend.

Catmas is just around the corner.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Talk about an even bigger diary slacker!  That's me!  Mommy says it's unacceptable that I've not written since November 1st.  That's the day after Halloween.  That's a long time ago according to the calendar and still the way time goes by so fast, it isn't.  Halloween seems like it was a couple of days ago instead of almost a month ago!

Yep, Catmas is on its way!  All the stores have stuff in them for those Catmas shoppers.  Black Friday was, of course, the day after Thanksgiving.  Speaking of Thanksgiving, Auntie Mary was here and she and Mommy prepared a big dinner for both of them and Auntie Mary's Dad.  They then took the food over to his place and ate some of it.  Of course, leftovers were divided amongst them; except Auntie Mary didn't get any of the roasting hen as she's a vegetarian.

Anyway, our pages are looking good.  I'm feeling pretty good myself except my BIG two ton sister wants to keep launching at me.  I'll be honest, she's starting to wear me out as she's much heavier than the 3.8 lbs she was when Mommy first took her to the vet on October 6th.   On October 22, when she went in for her rabies shot, she weighed in at 5.4 lbs.  Now, I know she's got to be somewhere between 6-7 lbs!  I wonder if she'll ever get as big as Merl.  I hope not!  It's starting to hurt when she jumps on top of me and therefore I've been hissing at her a lot lately.

Because of this, she's been paying more attention to my other bros.  Don't get me wrong now.  I still love my new sis.  I just don't want her jumping on me all the time.

Well, I must go now and let Mommy take out the trash.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so proud of my little playmate getting Diary Pick today!  Way to go, Joss!

She is a miracle for this family, and like she says, she's afraid of none of us.  She even jumps big old Merl!  She plays with water and does doorjamb jumps.  I'm so glad that Mommy found Joss and decided to adopt her!

As to Halloween, it was very noisy.  A lot of human kids came by and us kitties could hear them through the bedroom door.

As to Hurricane Sandy, she's totally gone and we're glad of that and blessed that we made it through safely.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When I peeked out the kitchen door window, I saw Jocelyn Mae in the backyard eating acorns!  OMC!  I yelled at Mommy and told her to come to the window right away and that Joss had gotten out.  I also pointed in the direction of where she was.

She said, "Landy, you silly boy, that's only a black squirrel.  We have a bunch of them in our neighborhood.  I know, I know, Joss does look like a black squirrel from the distance because of her bushy tail and the same color."

Whew!  I'm glad that was s squirrel and not my new sis!  I love her and hope and pray she doesn't sneak out!

Other than that, it's been a nice weekend.  Rather warm today too.

Well, that's about it.  I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As you know by now, we have a new sister. She's a little spitfire and has more energy than 20 of those Energizer bunnies!  Believe me, I'm not bored anymore.  My bros can never keep up with me as I'm very kitten-like at five years old.  Joss keeps that void filled.

Also, since Cam went to Rainbow Bridge, the sad feelings are beginning to fade.  We all believe Cam and our dear Lord has sent Joss to us to help with the healing process.

On another note, it's cold and rainy today.  In fact, it's the first day that we have all the windows shut and the heat on.  It's a good day to snuggle!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I turn a big 5 years old!  I got my cake from HQ (thank you so much) and I also got a cool pumpkin from Tony, Anna and family (thank you so much)!

I also thank my other pawsome friends:

MILO BLUE EYES & Family - yummy shrimp;
MR. SAM -  cool pumpkin;
SAMOA - cool pumpkin;
ASHLYNNE - cool pumpkin;
TYSON  - cool pumpkin.

I started out my day, after I ate of course, with a nice long run through the house.  This felt good as I can still do this when I'm older!

I very well remember when I first came to Mommy's house in September of 2008.  I was hanging out on the back porch, and Cammie Rose was nice to me by letting me eat some of her food.  From then on, I moved in.  The vet estimated me as being 1 year old then.

Anyway, I got to cut this short.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry for not writing in about a month.  I've been missing Cam, believe it or not.  I miss trying to play with her.  She used to take it the wrong way and called me a bully.  All I ever wanted to do was play!  Now, she's gone and it's hard to believe.  I spend a lot of time hanging around my brothers for comfort.

Anyway, I do have a birthday coming up tomorrow.  I'll be five years old!  My, how time flies!  I also got an early card of a birthday cake from my friend CALLIE ROSE.  Thank's so much Callie Rose!

Also, I concat Merl on his DDP today (I also concat him from Sampy and Bail)!

Lastly, our fall pages are almost done.  It takes Mommy a while to do these as she works full time.

Well, that's about it.  I'm going to go now and let Mommy load up the birthday cake pic.

I think this was a one day event as the cakes are now costing 18 zealies again.  Oh well.  It was fun while it lasted!!

Lastly, Cammie Rose has chosen a new sleeping spot and it's in front of our upstairs water/dry food station.  If she's awake, she'll growl or hiss at us when we want to eat or drink!  

This makes me wonder . . .  is she trying to get back at me and Sampy  for stealing her food  . . . .

Or is she tired of dwelling in the bathroom  . . .

Only she knows.

That's about it from me.  I'm really tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This word has been all over the news since we had one of those derechos on Friday, June 29th.   Ask the 'Weather Guys" on a local TV channel even had somebody asking what a derecho was.  Anyway, see Bail's diary for the definition of what a derecho is.

Anyway, Mommy has a new middle name for me which is, you got it, Derecho!  The reason for this is when I get the cat crazies, I run so fast and anything that gets in my way, gets knocked over.  I did that last night with the remote to her CD/IPod  player, and also I knocked over a plastic container she uses to put cereal in (so ants don't get in).  Many other times I knocked over the cactus plant from the kitchen windowsill, tore out moulding from a kitchen cabinet, and have my sibs running for cover when I run my straight line from the bedroom to the kitchen and back.  Yep, I'm a wild kitty which she says can be compared to a violent storm.

My cat crazies are due to my breed (I'm part Oriental short hair).  I'm not a derecho, Mommy, I 
also couldn't help knocking over the remote last night as I wasn't after it but a centipede that was on the ceiling above it.   

Anyway, that's it from me!  Have a purrfect weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy called me a Big Baby when Mommy put the flea stuff on me!  So what!!!  I don't like anything wet on my fur!  I don't like that weird noise the stuff made when Mommy squeezed the silly tube it came in.  It sounded like someone had some gas . . .

Sure, I ran downstairs and I did lick the base of my neck, but I knew how to get rid of that yucky taste by eating some food that was still in my dish.

Also, Friday night was very scary with a violent t-storm and fallen trees, etc.  Saturday morning was also scary because there were many noises outside made by these things called chainsaws.  

Luckily there were no t-storms on Saturday and we're hoping there are no more today either.

We'll, I got to go.  Mommy wants to eat her breakfast.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat Cam (even though she hates my guts) on her DDP today.  I also extend my concats from Bail as he's sleeping right now and won't be able to do a diary.

Secondly, I wish Mommy the best on her first day back to work tomorrow.  Us kitties did our best to watch her and make sure got better.  We purred and purred around the clock.  Her bedroom was never empty of us.  Sometimes, there would be four of us in there at a time, other times only one, two or three.  We're proud that we did our job, and she's proud of us for being great nurses to her.

We're going to miss her and have to shift gears back to how it was before her surgery took place.  We'll deal with it and will greet her at the front door when she comes home from work each day.

Well, that's about it from me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can you believe that our neighbor, Rick, likes me!  He's a dog person who has a Yorkie mix doggie named Mootsie.  

When he came over to bring Mommy some milk last night, he petted me and said I was his favorite because I had a dog-like personality; he also said he likes my energy and the fact that I followed him around.  

Also, other people who like dogs say I'm their favorite or they say the same about Sampy as he has those traits too (a little less than I though).

Anyway, I'm a dog-like cat.  Maybe I should start baking too. MOL!

Lastly, Mommy's still under the weather because of after surgery depression and physical pains that are still hanging around.  She's cut her pain meds in half and feels cruddy especially early in the morning and late at night.  She wishes she'd hurry up and feel better so she can go back to work.  She's the type of person who gets depressed easily when she's alone.  Us kitties are trying our best to help her and keep a close watch on her all day long. We still are delivering purrs, kneads and licks!  So, everycat rev up those motors!

Well, that's it.  I think I'll take a nap before dinner is served.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How cool is this!  I got one of the Diary Picks for yesterday's entry about kitty nurses!  Thanks Diary Gal for this pawsome honor!

I also thank my friends for their gifts & comments:

1.  ORANGE RUFFY - cool comment;
2.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
3.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail & lovely pic;
4.  TATE - lovely blue rosette.

Sampy and I are currently in bed with Mommy while she types this for me on her iPhone.  Hey, those phones are pretty smart and come in handy when a lot of walking is an issue as it is for her.  She only goes into the computer room after her pain meds have kicked in.  Yep, it's raining cats and dogs right now.   Obviously, her new knee aches just like the old one did on rainy days.  She's wondering when the aching and throbbing will go away.

Meanwhile us kitties have been fed and three of us, me, Sampy and Merl are on her bed to keep her company.  Cam and Bail will stop by some time later.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Five furry nurses live here
Five furry nurses help our Mommy dear

We work in shifts both day and night
To make sure she's feeling alright 

Me, Sampy and Merl are on her bed all night
Then Bail, Cam and the rest check to see if she's alright

We give her kitty medicine (purrs, breeps, licks,and our good deeds)
and make sure she gets all the love she needs.

We're so glad Mommy's back!  We cannot leave her bedside!  Several times, there have been four of us on her bed at once.  Even Cam, has been coming out of her room and stopping into Mommy's room for several visits. This is very unusual for her.  She's pushing past a lot of fear (of me) to come out of her bathroom corner to visit Mommy.

Tomorrow, she visits with the orthopedic surgeon.  Our nice neighbor will be taking her since he's off work then.  After that, in house P.T. starts this same week for three days; three days the following week; and one day the next week and one more time the week after that.  The physical therapist doesn't think Mommy will be ready to go back to work on May 21st.  It'll be more like early June as she'll still in pain and has to take the pain killers to get the "edge" off.

We're purring loudly over here and would appreciate more get well, happy healing purrs for our Mommy.

She's feeding us and cleaning our litter boxes and believe me, it's a challenge for her.  After she does scoop out our boxes, she has to lay down for an hour as her knee and low back hurt.  Of course, she feeds us first and the same applies here.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Every springtime those mourning doves hang around our house and try to build a nest in the redbud tree.  This year, they're hanging around the honeysuckle bush.  I suppose they're going to nest there this year.

Anyway, a few days ago, one of these doves on the back porch railing and I was going NUTS!  I didn't want to eat my breakfast (who'd blame me when a bird that big was sitting on the railing looking at me).  When it flew away, I went to the kitchen window next to the pantry and our water dishes below.  That dove flew by the window and into the honeysuckle bush.  I flung myself at the closed window and fell below onto one of our water tanks.  That scared the fluff off my britches and also water went all over the floor.  Mommy had to get a towel to wipe it up!

Not a good morning at all! I didn't get the dove and Mommy got a bit delayed for leaving for work as she had to wipe up the spill.

Anyway, I wasn't hurt in this fall, it just scared me and Mommy!

I hope everycat is having a pawsome Easter!  We are as the weather for today is beautiful and got up to 73 degrees!  We have all the upstairs windows open! 

Purrs & Breeps,

Landy

P.S.  Also, thank you Catsters who sent us a bunch of Easter eggs.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry, I haven't written in some time.  I've been doing fine and being my usual, frisky self.  I've been enjoying the open widows today (two) as it's warmer than yesterday and we've had a little bit of sun.  Still that cloud cover has not gone away.  It keeps looking like it's going to rain and hasn't.

I hope everycat is enjoying the new spring decor on our pages.  Still, we need to get the music changed.  Of course, we have to think about songs that have a spring flavor to them.  Of course, we like Celtic music any time of the year so we're not in a big hurry to change it.

Lastly, I hope Bail feels better.  He surely has a problem with his poopies which has never happened to him before.  I don't know what he got into.  Maybe he ate some bug or has a bug.  I hope it's not contagious.

Well' I got to get back to that open window.  The sun just came back out.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, I saw the strangest looking gray bug on the wall in the master bedroom.  I wanted to catch the thing badly!  I jumped upon the roof of the kitty playpen and looked up at the stupid bug.  Mommy asked me what I was looking at and I motioned with my head toward the area where the top of the closet door meets the wall.  She said it was a stink bug and that I wouldn't want to catch that thing as it would squirt something stinky in my face.  She then told me about how angel Bentley had captured a stink bug and it squirted him in the face.  She thinks some of it got in his mouth because he kept rubbing at it with his paws. He turned out to be okay after she gave him some food to get rid of the awful taste in his mouth.

After she told me this story about Bentley, she got a bunch of tissue and picked up the bug and gave it one of those "burials at sea".  

Anyway, seeing bugs around here is a sure sign of springtime.  So far we've seen a lot of flies, a stink bug, a few ants, and one butterfly.

Anyway, that's it from me.  I'm going back to that open hallway window to enjoy the rest of this warm weather.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy's back up in the Diary Spotlight this month. He's got the knack!  Concats, bro!

Sampy and I have a great bond:  we groom each other and wrestle with each other.  We sleep on Mommy's bed together, but don't snuggle like he and Bail (I think he likes to nuzzle in his floof and my floof isn't as thick).

Also, Mommy's missing her light gray hat.  She couldn't find it anywhere.  She looked at home, in her car, at work, and called the Dress Barn, to no avail.  She's very sure that she left her hat in the dressing room of the Dress Barn and nobody turned it in.  What this world needs is more honest people, Mommy told me!

Well, that's it from me.  

Purrs & Breeps to all and goodnight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I took Mommy's crocheted brown hat and started chewing on the flower shaped feather on it.  She caught me, took it away and hid it under her coat which she had laying on the back of the living room couch.

She's no fun!  I wanted so much to keep chewing on that flower.  The whole middle part of it was feathers!  To me it was a toy! What cat can say no to feathers?

For doing this to me, she should buy me a new feather toy!  What does everycat think about that??

Anyway, I don't have much more to say than that.  It's getting late.  Time surely goes fast at night.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Three good things today:  It's Friday; it's Mommy's payday; and best of all, I got another Diary Pick. That's two in a row!  Now, the Diary Gal really loves me!  Thank you again, Diary Gal for putting me in the limelight twice in a row.  

I also thank my following friends for their kind concats:

1.  BUGSY - cool comment;
2.  KITCAT - cool comment;
3.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
4.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail & pic;
5.  THE BUSH FURS - cool comment.

Also, it's going to be warm today with temps up to 50 degrees.  Then the cold comes back for the weekend with another possible winter mix starting tonight.  The weather people are saying this winter mix may hit us more than the last one a few days ago.  We never got anything but rain during that one.  Also, one of the attorneys where Mommy works got a little "frosting" in his area as he lives more west than we do.

Anyway, it's breakfast time and that's the most important meal of the day, so they say.  I say anytime is the most important meal of the day!

This Sampy was missing outside for a few days and his Mommy found him and brought him back inside.  He's one lucky boy to be safe again inside with his Mommy. Thank you Diary Gal for selecting SAMPY for one of the diary picks.

I also thank my pawsome friends for their kind concats & gifts:

1.  TATE BIEBER - purrty red rosette;
2.  BUGSY - cool comment;
3.  MILO - purrty blue rosette;
4.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
5.  TABATHA - cool comment, pawsome pawmail and lovely pic;
6.  THE BUSH FURS - purrty red rosette.

That's it for now.  Mommy has an early doctor's appointment (no, not her neck).  I think I fixed that pretty good. Also, she has to feed us kitties and herself and be "outta here" at 7:00 a.m.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat Sampy for his DDP today and the first DDP of February!

Secondly, two nights this week, Mommy had a bad aching neck when she went to bed.  I, who can feel her pain vibes intensely, started to knead the back of her neck.  Then I curled up on it and fell asleep.  Later she told me her neck felt better as the warmth from my body acted like a heating pad.  She also called me a smart boy for helping her neck aches get better.

As to today, her neck feels somewhat better and she's able to turn it more than before.  I'm so proud of myself for being a good nurse to Mommy!

Well, that about it.  Not much else going on today except the sun finally came out.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA!  What a title!  The Diary Gal liked my entry as here I am in the Diary Spotlight!  Thank you Diary Gal for making my day!

I also my following pawsome friends for their concats:

1.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail and pic;
3.  SQUIRREL & KIT-CAT - cool comment.

Also, the bed was nice and warm last night.  Merl, Sampy and I snuggled next to Mommy on the new comforter.  It was a good thing as the temps are pretty cold in the mid 30's.

Soooo, today is a great way to start off a Monday with a Diary Pick.  Maybe Mommy will have a chicken pawty tonight in my honor!

Got to run!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy got a new mattress pad and proceeded to put it on the master bedroom bed.  Merl and I decided to play hide and seek in it and bop each other on it before she tried to get the thing to fit on the &*^$# bed.  Mommy got a real attitude about it not fitting.  It was definitely made for a full bed and one corner of the silly thing wouldn't go on at all.  She would have returned it, but unfortunately it had Merl's and my fur on it plus it may have had some claw holes in the sides too.  So, she cut one corner to see if it would fit and it still didn't.  It was then that she decided to cut off the overhanging part that you tuck in off completely.  She put it on the bed and it fit perfectly.  She then put a fitted sheet on top and everything was fine.  If it shifts around while she lays on the bed, she'll get some strips of elastic and sew them on it to make it look like the old mattress pad.

Anyway, she got new pillows too (which I tried out by kneading them).  Pretty soft I say!  She also got a new comforter which we'll try out tonight.  I hope it's warm!

Lastly, I send my belated concats to Bail.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe what I did today!  I took my first full-blown nip trip on loose catnip.  Mommy says what I did was comical:

Merl and I were in the cat tree again when Mommy handed out the nip.  Merl got his share and so did Sampy.  She then put the container under my nose so I could get a sniff. I did so, then stuck my tongue in and got a little nip on it.  I didn't like the gravelly way it felt so I tried to spit it out, to no avail.  I then stuck my paw in the container and scooped out some nip.  As I shook my paw, the green stuff flew on my back and inside the cat tree.  I then found some nip stuck between my toes and I ate that.

This is when I "zoned" out.  I didn't move and stared at the walls. Things looked strangely for I don't know how long.  Mommy says my eyes were dilated. So, this is what catnip's all about!  YIKES!  Mommy says I even bit Merl's tail, and he was so "zoned" out that he paid it no mind.  Now that's "out there!"  And she said Sampy was sitting on the floor with his front legs crossed.  This nip made his itchies stop all together.  Maybe nip will be something better for him instead of RX food! 

It took some time before I came back around to reality.  I was upstairs "breeping" like my normal self.

Anyway, now I see why Merl and Sampy go crazy over this catnip stuff.  I wonder if I should try this again some time . . . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was naughty tonight after I had my dinner.  I meowed loudly and jumped up on top of cabinets over top of the kitchen sink and counters.  When she saw me, I had already moved to the area next to the big light which is directly over the top of the kitchen sink.  This light is behind a thing called a "valance" which is connected to two tall cabinets.  Mommy yelled for me to get down from there.  I was starting to climb down next to the light and she didn't want me to do that.  She wanted me to come down on one of the cabinet sides.  Finally, I did that and she yelled at me anyway.  She doesn't like me jumping onto those cabinets over the kitchen sink nor that of the stove.  She doesn't mind if I jump on top of the cabinet above the 'fridge. To me, cabinet tops are great places for me to explore and to jump up to as none of our cat trees are that high.

Also, she almost didn't let me have any salmon at the salmon pawty either.  But she did.  By that time, she had "cooled down".

Anyway, I suppose I should "lay low" and be a good boy.  At least for now.  MOL!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I tried it for the first time and I like it!  I'm talking about loose catnip!  What have I been missing in my almost five years?  I never knew it was this great!

It happened like this:  Mommy brought out the container of Whisker City catnip and shook it.  Merl, Bail, Sampy and I came running to her side near one of our cat trees.  She gave each of them a pinch and then she put the container under my nose while I sat in said cat tree.  This is when I decided to eat some of the nip. It so was PAWSOME that I decided to eat some more.  Then I pawed at the container in order to spill it.  Mommy pulled it away from me then and put some loose nip in the cat tree for me.  Merl had hopped up to the lower cup of the tree while I was in the upper one.  I then kept bopping Merl in the butt and head, and he didn't strike back.  He's no fun!  I was buzzing really good and he didn't want to join in my bopping game!

I must remember to try this loose catnip again.  I like it now, for sure.

Well, that's about it.  I'm going to bed early.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We have two things to pawty about today!  Merl is a BIG 6 years old and Bail landed another DDP for this month!

We had a catnip pawty this morning, and this is the first time ever that I tried and ate a bit of loose catnip.  I didn't care for it that way, but hey, at least I gave it a try!  I don't really see what all the rave is about!  Merl acts like he's on the biggest trip ever when he gets his "nip" and so does Sampy.  Bail's different all together, he eats a little of it then rolls in the rest.

Anyway, I also ran after Merl in order to give him a "birthday bop" on his butt.  Of course, he wouldn't let me and started to chase me instead.  He's no fun!

Also, I've been bad and have stolen some of Sampy's RX food.  I can't help it!  It tastes yummy to me!

Well, that's about it from me.  Have a nice weekend, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday Mommy, Sampy and I were sitting on her bed in the master bedroom.  He then washed my face for a few minutes and proceeded to lick and scratch himself so hard.  Afterward, he kicked at the air in order to shake off whatever was making him itch.  It was awful to watch!  Mommy tried to comfort him and put her hands on his back and was softly stroking him.  He then ran from her hands and jumped off the bed and scratched and licked himself more, and then he was fine.

This morning, he was doing better and in fact he slept pretty good last night.  Today, he had a pretty good appetite and didn't have a itchy fit like last night.

Mommy told me she's taking Sampy to the vet tomorrow morning before she goes to work.  Hopefully, they can find out what's wrong with him.

So please send all your purrs to my dear brother.  I want him to get better.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Concats, Bail on your first DDP for 2012!  That's so cool!

Also, I tested out the new blankie last night.  I had it all to myself, and I also nuzzled close to Mommy as Merl, Sampy and Bail decided to be "heat vent campers".

Also, last evening Merl and I snuggled next to Mommy on the counch when she watched "Super 8" again.  Looks like she can't get enough of that movie.  She loves those Stephen Spielberg sci-fi's!

Lastly, we got some snow this afternoon.  It came down hard for less than 1/2 hour and the sun came out too.  I wonder if there are anything called "snowbows".  Of course, Mommy was out during this mini-storm and didn't see any "snowbow".

Well, that's it.  I'm going to keep this one short.

Purrs & Breeps to all and have a most pawsome 2012!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I dreamed so much about having some turkey for Catmas, and I got my wish.  It was so yummy! And this time I didn't steal my sibs' pieces either!

We had a quiet Catmas too.  Merl, Bail & I slept a lot on Mommy's bed while her music played quietly on the CD player.

Also, we got a lot of mistletoe from various friends!  Thank you so much!  We'll try to send some out tomorrow.  We sent a few yesterday and then had to stop as we kept getting the "page not found" messages. More fleas???

Anyway, I'm the spokescat for today as it's getting late.  I hope everycat had a pawsome Catmas!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was downstairs when Mommy brought in the Catmas tree.  It was BIG!  Bigger than the ones she had the past two years.  You see, Behnke's Nurseries where she usually gets her table top Catmas trees, unfortunately ran out.  She found the smallest one on their lot which could pass for a table top. Unfortunately, it didn't have a stand on it, and they didn't have anymore stands in stock for small trees.  Mommy told me she walked out saying, "Well I guess I'll have to say "Bah Humbug" this year.  

Luckily, she found another tree on a lot up the road for a few bucks less.  She had the nice gentleman cut a few inches off so it wouldn't scrape the ceiling while it was on the table top.  This lot also had tree stands for table top trees.  In fact, it looked like a large doggie bowl with three clamps on it.

Anyway, when the tree was brought in the house, of course, I had to check it out.  Likewise with the stand.

Mommy sang to me a parody of Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" Here goes:  "Because of you there'll be no Catmas tree downstairs.  Because of you I don't want to risk it in the living room. . ."  

And she's right.  I'll be climbing and swinging on it like the gray kitty on Bail's background and I'd be doing my best to steal the ornaments.  And because of this, she put the tree upstairs in the computer room and closed the door.  From then on she proceeded to decorate the tree. I'd be lucky if she lets me even look at it.

Lastly, Happy Birthday Mommy!  I hope you have a good day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a new word that describes me when I have the cat crazies:

"Catquake"

I run throughout the house and the floors shake.  I also run and leap on top of kitchen cabinets shaking the dishes therein.  I'm a "catquake"!

So when everything shakes in this house lately, it's only me and not an earthquake like we had back in August.

Anyway, I just thought I'd say this.  It's been a long week and tomorrow is finally Friday!

Got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe it!  I'm one of the Diary Pics again today!  I'm on a roll!  Or is it because the Diary Gal has the hots for me or loves the way I write diaries or both of the above!

Anyway, I also got a purrty sparkling emerald from our lovely friend MUPPET!  Thank you so much MUPPET for this lovely gift and your kind words for my DDP yesterday (this came in very early in the a.m. today before the Diary Gal's email).

I also thank my following friends for their concats and gifts:

1.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail & lovely pic;
3.  TIMMY TOMCAT - cool comment;
4.  BUGSY - cool comment;
5.  COLE - cool Christmas stocking;
6.  BELLA - pawsome pawmail.

Anyway, we got tons of rain early this morning and it's supposed to rain all day long and change to snow later on tonight.  I don't think we'll be getting much of this snow.  I think it'll go to the northern and western parts of Maryland.  

Also, because of the rain, I slept late and didn't have the cat crazies.  Yep, rain is only one thing that slows me down.

Lastly, there was a wasp in the bathroom.  This is the third of those nasty, stingy things that Mommy caught and got rid of.  She don't use bug spray because of us kitties.  She found this one in the bathroom window.  She raised the blinds, and used a folded up washcloth to grab the thing so it wouldn't sting her.  She then dropped it in the human litterbox and gave it what is called a "burial at sea".

Mommy says wasps and bees don't belong in this house.  She's so afraid that we will play with them and get stung.

Anyway, I'm going to close now as breakfast will be served any minute.  YUM-YUM-YUM!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got an early Christmas present from the Diary Gal!  Yep, I'm one of the Diary Pics today!  Woooo-Hoooo!  Thank you Diary Gal for making my day!

I wrote yesterday about playing with a piece of Mommy's cereal on the kitchen floor.  The Diary Gal obviously liked that.  Also, my friend NEWMAN wondered if I was playing with a Cherio.  Nope, it was one of those that look like the "Chex" kind, but this was cinnamon flavored.  I didn't want to eat it, though.  It make a great hocky puck!

I also thank my following friends for their kind concats:

1.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail and beautiful picture;
3.  ELSA - purrty blue rosette;
4.  MIRANDA - cool comment;
5.  KITCAT - cool comment.

Also, I just heard on the TV that in England they say "Happy Christmas" instead of "Merry Christmas" as "Merry" means drunk or tipsy!  

Lastly, I'm going to enjoy my day and catch up on my sleep as I had the cat-crazies in the middle of the night.  I think all of us lost a lot of sleep because of me running across the bed, jumping into the window perch, flying down the stairs, flying back up again, giving Cammie Rose a hard time, and then wrestling with Sampy next to Mommy while she tried to sleep.  I'M BAD!

Also,I've been busy playing and bugging my sister.  The other day, I went cat-crazy with a piece of cereal that Mommy dropped on the floor.  Merl looked at me like I was crazy.  It looks like Bail and I have something in common as he went cat-crazy with a leaf the other day.

Anyway, I'm keeping mine short.  I feel a nap coming on.  You know, early to bed, early to rise, makes a kitty healthy,happy and wise!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today and tomorrow, all us kitties are going to write about our Thanksgiving adventures.  I know I had the most pawsome time of all:

Mommy's best friend Mary came over around 2:30 and they began the preparation of Thanksgiving dinner.  Mary is a vegetarian so she prepared a lot of veggies: Broccoli, asparagus (my fav), and sauteed Portobello mushrooms.  She also made a dish of russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, zuchini squash, and acorn squash.  Mommy says this was delicious too!  Of course, my nose was twitching and my mouth was drooling over the smell of the Bob Evan's pre-cooked turkey that Mommy had to warm over.  They also had cranberry sauce, cranberry juice and a home made sweet potatoe pie that her neighbor and his girlfriend brought over as a gift.

I was a good boy when Mary and Mommy sat down to dine,and I watched them from the cat tree in the corner of the dining room.  I didn't jump upon the table while they were eating at all.  Mommy praised me for this. 

Anyway, after a bit, I saw Mommy pick up a couple little pieces of turkey and gave me a taste.  YUMMY!!  Was that ever good!  I wanted more.  Of course, Mommy didn't bring me anymore, but at the same time, I saw on a piece of paper towel, more turkey.  After they cleared the table, I jumped up and stole all those pieces of turkey that was supposed to be for my sibs.  Now, I was a bad boy.  A glutton boy!  

Anyway, afterwards, we sat in the living room.  I decided Mary was cool and sat on her lap as did Sampy.  We love our Aunt Mary!  She looks like a taller blond version of Mommy anyway.  

Bail, Cam and Merl stayed upstairs the whole time; Cam in her bathroom corner, Bail on top of the master bedroom bed, and Merl underneath it.  Yep, Sampy and I are the brave kitties and more sociable!  

Well, that's about it for my pawsome Thanksgiving adventures!  We all had a pawsome time and look forward to this again next year!  Of course, that turkey is what I love the most.  I could have had a taste of asparagus too, but there wasn't enough of that to go around. Oh well.

I hope everycat enjoyed their Thanksgiving and will be enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend.

		<title>I'M NOT SCARED WHEN MOMMY CRIES</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday morning, I was downstairs when Mommy was making her breakfast.  She was sobbing when she was putting the cereal and fruit into her bowl and then she yelled and cried loudly when she couldn't get the lid off the jug of milk. She cursed out the company who changed the type of ring on said jug (it used to be the plastic type that you could tear off easily and the type I loved playing with).  Anyway, after she twisted the cap a few times, to no avail, she turned the jug upside down and banged said cap on the kitchen counter.  The jug crumpled at the top and some milk spewed onto the counter.  Fortunately, the lid did come off this time.  The whole time while she was sobbing and screaming at the milk jug, I meowed back.  I wasn't scared of her, I felt empathetic.

Bail's right, Mommy did sound like a screeching raccoon when she couldn't get the lid off the milk jug.  She told me the pain in her wrists was just awful and she was angry at the people who changed the jug to not making it arthritis friendly.  A lot of jugs that contain stuff are like that.  She says it's a total bummer.  For the containers of cranberry juice, she can turn these upside down and bang them on the counter without caving in like the milk ones which are made of a thinner plastic.  She also runs the lid portion under hot water which helps and she also has one of those gripper thingys (that didn't work on the milk jug by the way).

Anyway, Mommy feels a little better today.  The flair in her wrists, mostly the left one, has gone down.  The right one is still tender (but not as bad as yesterday).

Lastly, I helped Mommy make the bed.  She hasn't finished it yet as she needed to take a rest.

Have a pawsome day, my friends.

I'm going to keep mine short for now.  Sampy just told me it's breakfast time.  Got to run .. ..

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm in love!  I love Willow (a/k/a Torbie Sue)!  I want to meet her nose to nose.  I want to chase her around in the backyard, and Mommy won't let me. Mommy's a spoilsport and no fun at all! 

This afternoon, my heart went thumpty, thump, thump when I saw this beautiful girl cat in our backyard.  I call her the "Leaf Girl" because she likes sitting in the leaves. It's usually on Sunday afternoons that are warm fall days such as today.

Oh her emerald green eyes mesmerize me, her mews are so pretty, and I'd love to groom her red floofy ruff .. . . I'd like to sing to her all the love songs I know.  She has captured my heart . . . and all I'm allowed to do is look at her and dream and dream and dream . . . not fair, not fair at all.

I saw her first, and before I knew it, my brothers were looking out the storm door at her also.  They all were entranced by her beauty, especially Sampy.  I told them, she's mine!

Yep, she was sitting on the back porch with Mommy, and she was rubbing all over Mommy's shoes . . .  

Anyway, I may as well just dream about her.  That's all I can do besides get a little sniff of her off Mommy's shoes . . 

Poor me!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I thank MILO for the scary bat and cool comment for my DDP the other day.

Secondly, we had wet, non-sticking snow today for about two hours!  Can you believe that?  Snow in October around here has never happened as long as Mommy remembers.  She does remember one white Thanksgiving so told me.

Lastly, Mommy bought some new snow boots.  The fun part for us kitties, was the box the boots came in.  It was much bigger than a shoe box so it was more roomy to play and sleep in. After Sampy had his turn taking a mini-nap in there, I jumped in and pulled up an inner flap.  Under the flap, I found a couple cool peek holes in the box's sides.  I loved poking my paws through one of the holes.

As to now, Mommy left the box on her bed and Bail's asleep in it.

Well, I must go now.  It's bed time.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowie Zowie!  I'm one of the Diary Pics today!  Thank you so much Diary Gal for this pawsome honor!  This calls for another salmon or chicken pawty tonight (purraying).  We had some salmon left over from Mommie's lunch and it was so delicious!  I don't know where that deli gets their salmon and who cooks it.  My compliments go out to them and their chef!!!

I also thank my pawsome friends for their gifts and kind words:

1.  HOOCH & Crew - pawsome pumpkin;
2.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
3.  CHEF ROOSTER - pawsome pawmail;
4.  TABATHA - pawsome pawmail and picture;
5.  GLEEK - cool comment;
6.  ZACK & ZOE - cool comment;
7.  TIGGER - cool comment;
8.  THE BUSH FURS - cool comment;
9.  CHANDLER RAY - cool comment;
10. ELSA - cool comment.

Also, it's a damp, cold and rainy morning.  All of us boy kitties had Mommy trapped in her bed all night long.  She could barely move.  I was on her left side, Merl on her right side, Bail on her feet and Sampy at her right shoulder.  All of us were nice and warm.

This weekend is going to be super cold for this area. Saturday is going to be in the 40's and rainy.  Sunday will be a tad warmer. Looks like no more open windows for some time now.  I hope it warms up on Halloween, which is Monday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I started celebrating Christmas early this year.  I brought out my catnip Santa and catnip elf, played with them, and left them on the kitchen floor during the night.

Mommy moved them near our cat tree today, and again I was playing with them.

I can't wait until Christmas . . . .

Also, Sampy and I cuddled on the windowsill perch when the sun came to the front of the house.  I washed him and he washed me.  We do this a lot because of our tight bond.

That's about it.  I hope my diary saves.  Bail had bad luck with his first diary and had to redo it.  So it wouldn't happen again, he saved it in wordperfect.  I think I'll do that too.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy made a really neat pic of me about a week ago but didn't load it up because of all the Catster fleas.  Anyway, it's a pumpkin that's got my face carved into it.  It's pawsome!  It just loaded up and it'll be my no. 3 picture shortly.  Of course, she didn't carve it herself.  This came from a site called "Lunapic" which is the same place were Bailey's magic pool pic was made.

Also, it's been a four cat night the past couple of nights because of the cold weather.  We all cuddled with Mommy so we could stay nice and warm!

Anyway, the sun just came out.  Maybe it'll get a bit warmer now.

I also thank the following friends:

1.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;

2.  SQUIRREL - pawsome concats on my no. 1 photo (he was having
    a hard time posting comments because of fleas . . . I
    suppose all our friends were running into these fleas too)

Also, I was a very bad boy around 2:00 a.m. today.  I jumped Cammie Rose and Mommy got angry at me.  She yelled, "Leave Her Alone" and told me to go downstairs and don't come back.  That was some harsh words.  She also said she'd corral me in the kitty pen if I didn't behave.  You know, a time out!

Anyway, I went downstairs and came back and behaved this time.  I went to sleep on the blankie on Mommy's bed and was still sleeping when her alarm clock went off at 6:00 a.m.

We're having a rainy day today.  It was a miracle that we had four lovely sunny days in a row.

Well, I got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm going to try to save my diary now . . .

Wish me luck . . .

I want so much to tell about what Mommy bought us kitties yesterday . . .

It was a new jumbo dome, covered litterbox . . .

And I was the brave one who used it first . .  as a matter of fact I was the only one so far . . . I pooped in it and covered it too . . .

I like it a lot . . .

Mommy wanted to get it because she was tired of all the litter dust getting on everything in that room.  She said it looked like there's been a sandstorm in there a lot.

Does anycat know if this will cut down on the dust problem?

This eleminated two of our litterboxes that were in the middle of that room.  The one in the doorway and under the table are still the regular type.

Anyway, wish me luck on saving this . . . my paws are crossed.

Is every entry now to be short and a test because of this?  It's aggravating.

Anyway, I mentioned that it was another four cat night because of the cold weather and how Mommy had a hard time getting out of bed because she was pinned down by four cats!!

I also mentioned that I was bored tonight so Merl "un-bored" me by having a game of "tag you're it" mixed with a good old game of chase and tumble.  We had a great time.

Well, I'm not writing anymore tonight.  This is a test and I pray that it saves.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday dear Landy,
Happy Birthday to me!!!

Not too original but anyway, it's my Big Day today!  I'm 4 years old and still the youngest cat in our furmily.  The vet said I was born, as a guestimate, on September 27, 2007 (I showed up on Mommy's back porch on September 27, 2008). Vets are good at giving guestimates.

I also thank HQ for the Birthday email and putting me in the Birthday Stroll; and again the B&G Club for the lovely birthday card.

I also thank my  following friends for their birthday wishes and gifts:

1.  TATE & Family - cool football and comment;
2.  CHAI LATTE & SF GIRLS - PURRTY RED/PINK RIBBON;
3.  ZEKE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
4.  VIOLET & Family - cool comment;
5.  TABBIES OF TROUTE TOWNE - yummy ice cream cone;
6.  TONY & ANNA - yummy ice cream cone;
7.  BIG HARRY & Family - purrty blue ribbon;
8.  ELSA - yummy ice cream cone;
9.  THE BUSH FURS - yummy ice cream cone;
10. TIGGER - pawsome pawmail.

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy my day.  Too bad I don't like catnip.  Maybe Mommy will have a chicken pawty in my honor!

Well, that's about it.  

Purrs & Breeps to all,

Landy

P.S.  We had a salmon pawty instead!  This salmon was pawsome!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe how fast the time has gone by.  It seems like yesterday when I moved into Mommy's house.  It really was September 28, 2008 that I showed up on the back porch.  I was fed and then I moved in after I got a clean bill of health from the vet.  He told Mommy I was about 1 year old.  So that makes me 4 years old on September 28th.

Also, I got an early birthday card from the B&G Club which is the #2 picture on my page.  Enjoy!  Thank you B&G Club for this pawsome card!

Lastly, Mommy told me we have black squirrels in the neighborhood.  Only thing, they live and roam up the street and up the hill from us.  I've never seen one in our backyard at all.

Well, that's about it from me.  Good night everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat Bail on his DDP today!!  He's another of the Diary Gal's favs!!!

Also, Merl better come on down from his high horse!  Just because he's the biggest cat in the house doesn't mean he's the boss.  Sampy's the boss!  Sure Sampy's shorter and at the same time he's wise and strong!

Merl thinks he owns the cabinet over top of the 'fridge.  Mommy says both of us can go up there as there's plenty of room even for four cats.  Merl thinks I'm a "space invader" or something!  He better get a life, believe me.

I snooped at his diary and he said something to the effect that I'd better watch it as he's going to get even with me.  Should I be paranoid now??

Anyway, Merl and I get along aside from that territorial dispute with the top of the 'fridge; and the other place is the dining room table.  He thinks he owns that too . . .

Anyway, I'll be on my way.  Have a nice evening my Catster friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Talk like a Pirate Day is right around the corner.  To honor that day, Sampy, Merl, Bail and I are dressed up as pirates.  Mommy has today and tomorrow off from work so hopefully she can "get on it" and finish up the pirate decor on our pages.

Also, I'm called "Lootin" Landy" because I steal a lot of stuff around the house.  My most fun thing to steal is magnets off the 'fridge.  I climb onto the 'fridge and hang my front paws over the side and bat down whatever magnets I can reach.  I then bat them under the 'fridge, stove or cellar door.  I also have been known to steal Mommy's bra, hair scrunchies, jewelry, car keys, grooming combs, camera and camcoder.  Nothing is sacred from me.  If she leaves it unaware, I take it or try to take it by batting it onto the floor and carrying it off in my mouth so I can play with it or stash it somewhere (of course, my loot!)

Lastly, I concat Sampy on his diary pick today.  Way to go!

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy let us kitties have a taste of some scallops she had left over from her lunch!  I love them!!! Nom-nom, nom!!  I wanted more!  Then she gave me a taste of some white corn.  I loved that too!  I love Mommy 'cause she gives us treats!  I suppose she's spoiling us! 

One thing for sure, she always feeds us our regular food first, of course.  The treats come afterwards when she eats her meal.

Anyway, we've had rain on and off all day yesterday and today.  I understand the remnants of tropical storm "Lee" are doing this.  He's pretty weak compared to that "Irene" who stopped by the week before.

Well, I got to go.  Have a nice night everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy made a trip to PetsMart and brought us two new cat carriers.  One of them is very cool!  It's made of cloth printed with black and white zebra stripes and has a soft fleece floor.  It also has mesh windows!  Of course, I have dibs on this one.  Merl came along and stuck his face in there while I was chillaxing and I swung at him.  I told him, "after me you're first!"

Anyway, we needed more carriers around here.  She got these "just in case" we have to leave the house because of Irene.  We hope not!  We're purring and praying for everycat and everyone along the east coast.

Ocean City, is just starting to get the storm now and to top it off, they just posted a tornado warning for them.

I can't believe the rage that Mother Nature has been doling out lately; earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes.  It's unbelievable!!!

Right now, we're not getting the nasty winds yet; just rain.

Purrs & Breeps to all!  Stay safe!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm really diary pick today!  The email I got wasn't an error like last time.  I suppose the Diary Gal made it up to me.  Anyway, thanks for this honor!  This is a great way to start out the week!

I also  thank my following friends for their concats, gifts and kind words:

1.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
2.  HOOCH & Crew - yummy lemon drink;
3.  DANTE - cool comment;
4.  TABATHA - Lovely picture and pawsome pawmail;
5.  SQUIRREL - cool comment;
6.  BUGSY - cool comment;
7.  SMILEY CASSANOVA - pawsome pawmail;
8.  FELIX ANGEL - cool baseball.

Also, I had the "cat crazies" last night.  I knocked a lot of stuff off a small telephone table in the dining room.  There were little scissors, scotch tape, the thing that held those objects, and a bottle of some anti-frizz stuff for Mommy's hair (she left it there).  Poor Mommy had to pick it all up.  I don't know how to do that.  She said, "Looks like Hurricaine Landy has been here".

Lastly, that nasty t-storm finally cooled it down a tad late last night and this morning.  I'm not sure how warm it's going to get for the rest of the day yet.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy tried to load up my newest video again, to no avail.  There are definitely video fleas hopping about on Catster.  When the video was done, there was a message "a video was added to O's page."  Lookie here I'm not a zero or an "O".  I'm Landy!!!!

I don't know where my video went, Cyberspace, Twilight Zone, who knows!

I'm bummed. I wanted to show off my newest video (some may have seen it on FB at the beginning of the week). 

Oh well, I suppose Mommy has to email the Top Cat again.

Have a nice Friday, everycat!

Also, my bunny friend has been hopping by a few times this week.  I didn't see him/her yesterday though.

The weather's been pawsome this week too after a very stormy weekend.  We did need that rain so we're not complaining at all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm testing to see if the diary fleas are still hopping about.  Angel Bentley tried today and managed to get his test published.  Now, it's my turn.

I received an email on Sunday that I was diary pick and it turned out that I wasn't at all.  I then wrote a diary stating how sad I was and then saved it.  When I looked to see if it saved, that entry wasn't there at all.  Then I was extra sad.

Mommy looked my sibs' pages thinking that it may have been saved to theirs.  Nope. It wasn't anywhere.  It was sucked into the Twilight Zone!

Anyway, hopefully this one saves.

Have a pawsome day, my friends.  Hopefully everycats' diaries are working right now!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ants, ants and more ants!  I love helping Mommy get rid of them!  Or even playing with them.  I'm helping her as best as I can!  Of course, Mommy's not happy by the reappearance of these "pests" as she calls them.  We've been ant-free this summer until yesterday.  In fact, she was late for work because she was trying to "get rid" of a lot of ants.  Unfortunately, more and more keep coming.  She doesn't want to spray because of us kitties.  So, she'll keep on "squishing" them and if they're in the sink, she'll drown them.  

Also, on Tuesday evening an orangie kitty was in our front yard.  Mommy saw him and called, "kitty" and he walked up to the front door. He meowed at her and when he saw me he hissed a lot.  Sampy came along and sang to him, and he looked.  Well, well, well, Mommy and Sampy surely conveyed to this kitty that they were friendly.  As to me, I had that annoyed look on my face and was ready to chase him off the porch.  Fortunately, the screen door was between us.  Eventually, he left.

Well, that's about it from me.  Have a pawsome day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This makes no sense.  I think there's some type of fleas on Catster now that suck up written diaries.  I just wrote one and it vanished.  I don't know where it went and I don't think I remember everything that I wrote.  I'll try my best :(

Yep, it's about time that I wrote another diary.  It's been over a week again.  First of all, I love turkey meat!!!  Mommy gave us kitties some on Friday night, and we wanted more and more and more.  Of Course, Mommy said it was only a treat for us!  Bummer!!!!

Lastly, that stupid moth that caused Bail to have an accident,  got away from both of us. I tried my best to get the moth after Bail's claw got caught.  Boy oh boy is that thing fast!  If it comes back again, it's going to have to deal with me!  

Anyway, I'm going to keep this one short.  Mommy wants to make lunch.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I, nurse Landy, also checked up on Mommy periodically last night.  I know she felt awful from eating something called "Rainier" cherries.  She loves the sweet taste of these cherries and they apparently didn't like her.  See Sampy's diary for the details on the allergic reaction she had.

This morning, her nose is still stuffy.  She's glad the throbbing eye/sinus headache is gone.  If it wasn't she would take a sick day from work.  

I'm glad she's feeling better.  

Also, we're waiting for this "heat dome" to go away!  It's just awful!!!  Still, they don't see no relief in sight.

Stay cool & safe everycat & pawrents if you're located under this "Heat Dome" in the USA!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today's Friday and what a purrific one it is!  I'm one of the Diary Picks today!  Thank you Diary Gal for this honor!

I'm going to groove all day on my achievement and hopefully, Mommy will bring home some more corn on the cob tonight when she goes grocery shopping.  She could also bring home some chicken and asparagus.  That'll really make me dance and sing!!

She can skip the loose catnip as it still doesn't turn me on.  Yep, I'm one of those cats who's naturally high and doesn't need nip to get buzzed!

Lastly, the weather is lovely, and Mommy has the windows open for us; low humidity and mid 80's.  All of us love this plus it saves Mommy $$$ on the AC bill.

Well, I best be going now.  I'll add my thank you list when my concats/gifts arrive.  

Purrs & Breeps to all,

Landy

P.S.  My thank you list is as follows:

1.  TATE - cool beachball;
2.  MILO - cool baseball & cool comment;
3.  HOOCH & Crew - purrty blue rosette;
4.  REANAN - pawsome pawmail;

Also, my bunny friend (another bunny this time . . . a younger/smaller one) was in the neigbor's front yard.  All of a sudden he/she ran so fast into the back yard and out of sight.  If I were outside, I don't think I could catch that bunny. 

Anyway, it's a lazy day and I think I'll go back to sleep in the green cat tree in the dining room.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been a bad boy!  Shame on me!  I haven't done an entry in my diary since June 26th!  Mommy says that's unacceptable!  I suppose it is too!

Things around here have been busy (Mommy shopping, working and also a lot of T-storms were happening).  Truthfully, I think she's been hogging the computer and hanging out on FB a lot!  

Anyway, I'm saying "hi" all those who've missed me.  I've missed everycat too!  

I've been my usual sweet and naughty self.  Sometimes I'm all lovey to Mommy and other times I'm a Big Beast toward Cammie Rose.  Mommy doesn't like me picking on Cam as she's older than the hills of Maryland and wants to be left alone.  My side of the story is I like to chase her and pop her on the butt.  I believe she needs a purrsonal trainer so she doesn't gain a lot of weight as she eats and sleeps a lot.  She needs this exercise!!!

Anyway, I promise to write more often.  

Have a pawsome weekend, my friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowza-Dowza!  I'm DDP today!  How about that!!  My furiend, SKYLAR is also up there with me which is pawsome too!  Thank you Diary Gal for this honor!

As to yesterday, Mommy felt awful.  She thinks she pinched a nerve in her back and yesterday it was worse than it was all week.  So, she didn't go anywhere and "didn't feel like doing anything" like Bruno Mars says in his latest song.  Well, in the morning she barely managed to do two loads of laundry and one of them still sits in the dryer.  Most of her day, she camped out in front of the computer.  Her best friend, Mary, dropped by for a bit and they talked.  I sat on the couch next to Mommy and watched her.  Mary said, "he doesn't let you out of his sight!"  Mommy replied, "yep, he's my nurse.  When I feel badly or cry, he's by my side."

I'm a great nurse kitty and so's Sampy.  When Mommy went to bed early last night, Sampy and I took turns on the bed with her.  Bail slept in the window in the same room, and Merl appeared at 6:00 a.m. to give her his usual purrs and rubs.

Today, she feels better and has to go out as we're low on cat food.  If her back still feels lousy on Monday, she's going to call her rheumatologist and/or the chiropractor who helps a lot of her job's clients.

Anyway, I'm glad I got DDP today.  I thank the following friends for their kind words, concats and gifts:

1.  BUGSY - cool comment and Share the Love rosette;
2.  DANTE - Share the Love rosette;
3.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
4.  BLIZZARD & Family - Share the Love rosette;
5.  HOOCH - Share the Love rosette;
6.  TATE - Share the Love rosette;
7.  MILO - cool comment & purrty blue rosette;
8.  CALI ANN BUSH - Share the Love rosette;
9.  TABATHA - cool DDP pic & pawsome pawmail;
10. PUMPKIN - Share the Love rosette;
11. KIBBLES - Share the Love rosette;
12. RIVER & SIMONE - Share the Love rosette;
13. ELSA - Share the Love rosette.

Well, I must be on my way.  Purrs and Breeps to all.

Also, the background balls and mouse that are always there happen to look like they're getting involved; surfing balls and rock climbing mouse!  PAWSOME!!!

Anyway, it's a bit cooler this morning with less humidity.  That means us kitties have more energy.  In fact, Bail chased me up the stairs and did a "tag you're it" to my butt and then launched himself into the open hallway window!  It looks like it's going to be a fun weekend for us kitties.

Have a pawsome Friday and weekend, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a bit overactive this morning and toppled over the upstairs kitty water-cooler.  It emptied 3/4 of it onto the carpeted floor and tray that holds our dry food dishes. Unfortunately, the bowls were pretty full and the kibble in one of them was soaked.  Mommy wasn't a happy camper and told us that breakfast would be delayed because she had to clean up my mess!

Obviously, she doesn't like stuff like this happening on work days because it pushes everything off schedule and she's afraid she'll be late.

Oh well, whatever.  Accidents happen, Mommy!  I exercise every morning and the water-cooler just so happened to be in my way!

Anyway, at least it's Friday!  That's a good thing for her.  She needs this weekend to unwind.

Purrs & Breeps to all, even Mommy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I give my concats to my floofy bro on his DDP!  Way to go, Bails!!

Also, I got my first video too!  It's short and sweet!  I stare at the camera and then turn my head to the side.  That's all.  Sampy's long video didn't load up.  IE blew it off twice when it tried to load.  Mommy pawmises to put in Fire Fox tomorrow and see if that'll help matters.

Anyway, I'm doing good and dealing with this hot weather perhaps the best of all as my fur is the shortest.  We've had the AC on most of the time since this heat wave began.  

Anyway, it's back to bed for me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Cats' Meow has an article about "Cats With Heart".  Mommy submitted a comment about my heart-shaped bib.  Since she didn't see a way to post my purrsonal natural "furmation" in that article, she decided to let everycat see this picture on my page (for those who haven't seen it and for those who did but may have forgotten.)  My heart shape can only be seen if I hold my head up like in my no. 2 pic. Enjoy!

Also, everything is going well with me.  I eat like a pig and never gain an ounce.  I exercise a lot and normally have that Oriental thin physique!  I'm blessed!

Anyway, that's about it.  It's almost breakfast time, speaking of food!!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat Merl on his COTD on May 28th!  Good going dude!!!

Secondly, I took a nice long nappy on Mommy's bed and drifted into a dream that something was chewing at my nails.  I woke up and there Mommy was giving me a nail trim!!! Can you believe that!!!  Can't a guycat sleep in peace!!!  

Anyway, she got most of my nails as I was too tired to respond to what was going on.  She told me she heard that was the best time to trim a cat's nails if they didn't care for nail trims.

WHATEVER!!!!

Also, my bunny friend didn't show up in the past couple of days.  I wonder where he went and hope he comes back.

Lastly, summer is definitely on its way.  I saw the first lightning bug a little bit ago!  I love watching them flicker on and off!

I also wish everycat and their family a most pawsome and safe Memorial Day weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had a visitor in our backyard at dinner time.  It was "my" bunny friend again!  At first he was in the neighbor's yard and then decided to graze ours too!  I got so excited that I lept onto the kitchen counter and watched him from the window.  He sat in the middle of the grass and groomed himself just like a cat does!  I found this interesting!

Anyway, eventually he left.  I can't wait until he comes back again!

Also, Sampy still doesn't care to wrestle with me.  I can't wait until his fur grows back.  I've tried everyday to wrestle with him, to no avail.  He always growls and hisses at me and Mommy tells me to leave him alone on top of that.  Neither of them are any fun!!!!

Just so I could have some fun, I decided to steal stuff again. This time it was one of Mommy's sneakers.  I grabbed it by the lace and dragged it from the bedroom floor into the hallway before she caught me.

That's about it from me.  It's back to bed.  Goodnight, everycat!

I'm singing in the rain; just trying to cheer myself up.  It's raining now and is supposed to do 2 inches per hour.  That's not good.  I hope our basement doesn't flood like it did in June of 2009 (that was before they put in the new pipes in the street, though).  I hope these pipes work during this mess!

The pawsome trade-off will be this weekend; sunny and near 80 dedgrees.  I can't wait for that!

Meanwhile, there's not much else going on.  I think I'll take a nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As everycat knows, Sampy is missing a bunch of hair on his chest.  I've been sleeping with him a lot early in the morning as it's chilly and I figure he can use the extra fur on his chest.  MOL!!

Also, I've been doing great and have been a good boy.  I also had separation anxiety a couple of times while Sampy was at the cardiologist and in the ER.  I was soooooo glad when Mommy brought him back home!  I'm also glad he feels better so I can wrestle with him again.  It's been hard trying to wrestle with Merl as he has a mean streak.

Well, I'm keeping mine short.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, my bunny is back!!!  I saw him briefly in the neighbor's backyard!  Both Mommy and I aren't sure if it's the same bunny or a different one; maybe the one Mommy saw at the side of the road a month ago was a different bunny.  We're not sure. 

Secondly, I saw a moth and tried to get at it.  The only thing, it was on the ceiling above the fireplace mantel.  I jumped upon the mantel, tight-walked it among Mommy's angel figurines and jumped onto the clock in the middle.  That's when Mommy had to spoil my fun!  She saw me sitting on top of the clock and looking up at the moth on the ceiling.  She said, "get down now!"  I did so and then she tried to get the moth off the ceiling with one of the long-stemmed fake flowers from the big flower pot near the fireplace.  She stood on her tippy-toes and gently brushed the ceiling where the moth was and it flew away and was gone.

All that fun stopped by Mommy!  I really wanted that moth!  Merl and Sampy once told me that moths are yummy!

I hope it comes to the ground so I can find out for myself.

Anyway, I can't wait until the dawn and early evening as that's when the bunny likes to hang out in the neighbor's yard.  He doesn't graze our yard as the neighbor's grass is better tasting, obviously.

Well, that's my exciting day!  I got to go now as it's late.

I won't provoke her nor steal her food nor pee in her litterbox!  That's saying a lot  for me!  She's right.  Us young ones should respect our elders!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, it's been about a week since I wrote about my bunny buddy going to the Bridge.  There have been no more bunnies hanging around our yard nor the yard next door.  

Anyway, I've been watching a lot of birds and squirrels (there's always plenty of them around here).  Those bunnies usually hang around the top of the hill portion of our neighborhood.  Mommy's seen them at the top of the hill before.

Anyway, the birds start chirping at 5:00 p.m. and reach a crescendo at 6:00 p.m.  I love listening to them sing!

Speaking of birds, Mommy's neighbor has a new pet bird.  A lady where he works found it in the office parking lot.  He took the bird home and keeps him/her in a covered shoe box with holes in it.  He thinks it's a robin, and Mommy thinks it may be a bluejay as a few of the feathers on the top of it's head are slightly blue.  Anyway, Mommy said the bird's name is "Fred".  Can you believe that!

Well, that's about it from me. I hope you liked my blog about the birds.  Good night all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm sad because my little bunny friend has made his journey to the Bridge.  This bunny used to hang out in our backyard between 7:00 p.m. and dark on warmer days.  I remember chasing him from window to window and enjoyed doing so.

The last warm day we had around here, Mommy and I saw him grazing in the middle of our backyard.  That was the last time we had seen him. 

A day later, Mommy told me my friend had made his journey to the Bridge because somebody wasn't careful when they drove by during the night. The rest is too sad . . . 

Rest in peace, my little friend,and my nightly window-watching entertainment.  I'll miss you so much! :(

On a better note, I'm doing okay and playing with Sampy, as usual.  

It's raining right now and will be doing so all day long.  April showers bring May flowers, so they say.

Got to go now.

Happy birthday to you!

I know, I'm not too original with that one.  Anyway, I wish my fav bro a very pawsome birthday.  I started out wishing him a great day with a vigorous wrestling match.  Maybe I was wrong in doing that as he got hissed off.  Mommy said many people and cats want positive attention on their birthdays and not negative attention such as fights.  Sooooo, I'll be nice to Sampy and give him kisses for the rest of the day, unless he changes his mind.

Got to run now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm seeing little green men all over the front page of Catster and I want to chase them!  I asked Mommy and my sibs if they saw them too, and they all said "yes".  They're really there and it's not a mass hallucination!

I'm glad of that, for sure!!

Since today's going to be in the low to mid 70's, we're going to enjoy a couple open windows.  I'm going to love every minute of it before it gets cold again tomorrow into the nasty 50's. I guess that's why they they call it spring because the temperatures spring back and forth from cold to hot and back again.  The temps during this season aren't stable.

Anyway, I got to run as it's breakfast time.  I can't miss the most important meal of the day.

To show him my love, I nuzzled next to him on the master bedroom bed and laid my head on his soft, floofy tummy.  He makes a great pillow, that Bail!!  He stayed there and let me do this without any fuss either.  That's what you call a pawsome brother!

Anyway, we had our dinner, played a few games and are ready for a nap.  Goodnight all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all I concat Bail on his DDP today!  WOO-HOO!

Secondly, all that ruckus (sp?) about the duct/furnace cleaning guys being here, didn't bother me too much at least when they first went into the cellar.  He-he-he!  Sampy and I followed them down there while they started to hook up this big black hose.  Of course, Mommy grabbed Sampy first and took him upstairs and put him in the computer room.  Then she came back for me and put me in with Sampy.  A few minutes later, she put Cam in with us.  Cam didn't like that one bit. Also, Merl and Bail had gone in there on their own.  

All in all, Sampy and I ended up being put back into the master bedroom after they were done with that, the bathroom and litterbox room.  The man proceeded to do the computer room and apparently, Merl, Bail and Cam were still in there under the bed.  When the guy turned on the blowing hose to the vents, the three of them ran downstairs.

Afterwards, Mommy left the computer room door open in case Merl, Bail and Cam needed safe sanctuary (which they did) while the guy did the downstairs.  Merl went under the bed and Bail crawled under the covers of the bed.  He must have been really scared to have managed to crawl under the covers of an already made bed.  Lastly, Cam cannot be located.  I think she's under the red couch as that's her safe sanctuary when Mommy uses the vacuum cleaner.

Well, that's the scary adventure for this morning.  Sure it wasn't pleasant and at the same time, I didn't freak out as much as the others nor did Sampy.  Of the household, he and I are the "Los Bravos" kitties.  As you know, Merl is terrified of anybody who comes in the house other than Mommy.  He even growls when a strange car pulls up in front of our house.

Oh, well.  The rest of this weekend will be quite.  Mommy told us so.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy had to make me into a kitty burrito (wrap me in a throw with only my head sticking out) as I'm in the pink now.  What I mean is, I caught the dreaded "pink eye" from Sampy.

Sampy's right eye is fine now and my left eye is runny and pink.  Since there was a bunch of ointment left over, Mommy applied it to my left eye and before she could do it, I had to become a kitty burrito.  I'm a squirmer and kicker whenever I'm held and I've been known to deliver some mean scratches.

I'm glad that's over with for now.  She says she's going to apply the stuff again tonight and again twice a day for 10 days.  YIKES!  Can I stand this that long???

BUMMER!!!!

Anyway, I'm going to take a nap now.  That whole ordeal with being a burrito and getting that gunk in my eye tired me out.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Can you believe today is the first day of spring?? I can't as it's cold again.  Friday should have been the first day of spring as it was a lovely 75 degrees and Mommy let us have TWO open windows upstairs!  Believe me all of us loved it!!!

Yesterday was better than today will be, but still it was a NO open windows day.

The honeysuckle bush buds have popped open and are a pretty light green!  The neighbors daffodils are all bloomed!  As to the oak trees, nothing yet.  I think those are the last to bloom around here.  The redbud has dark red buds and won't open until early April.

Lastly, Friday night Mommy bought us kitties an early Easter present.  It was a scratching curl which she got for a bargain at Petsmart.  It's usually around $30.00.  She got it on sale for only $23.00!!!  Anyway, I was the first to try it out.  I LIKE IT LOTS!!!  Thanks, Mommy!

Anyway, I had my breakfast and will curl up with Sampy for a late morning nap.  I love cuddling with him as he's my fav bro!!

Purrs & Breeps to all,

Landy

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This "so-called" daylight savings time is confusing us kitties.  When the alarm went went off this morning, we were still sleeping in a circle at Mommy's feet.   We thought it was 5:00 a.m. and Mommy had to get up early for some reason.  She assured us it was really 6:00 a.m. because of something called, "daylight savings time".  She also didn't feel like getting up either and of course she did so as she had to go work regardless of it being pitch black out there.

Also, when she got home it was light outside.  The sun was shining brightly, and we though Mommy got off work early,  Again, she assured us that it was daylight savings time and it will be like this until some time in October.

Well, it's nice at night I agree, but still dark at our wake up at 6:00 a.m. will take a lot of getting used to.

Well, that's about it for now.  I'm hungry and will be eating dinner by sunlight instead of lightbulb light.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!  I missed Sampy so much yesterday!  I missed cuddling with him while he was at the vet!  When Mommy brought him home, I followed him around and tried to sniff him.  He smelled like the vet's office!  He got annoyed and hissed at me so I didn't bother to instigate a wrestling match with him.  Mommy was so proud of me that I respected Sampy's wishes to be left alone.

Also, I'm known as the "clean-up" guy around here.  My sibs rarely cover their messes in the litterboxes and that really bothers me!  I always cover it for them.  I have the best litterbox training in the house.  I always cover up my own business too!

Anyway, that's the news from me.  Have a pawsome weekend, my Catser friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Springtime.  Even though it technically isn't here yet, I've seen many signs today such as:

1.   Two robins in the driveway;
2.   The honeysuckle bush has buds on it;
3.   The neighbor's daffodils are blooming all the way;
4.   There are all kinds of birds in the yard;
5.   There's lots of birds chirping (I love that sound);
6.   The redbud tree has little lumps for buds;
7.   More people activity outside on the bike path;
8.   No more snow (yet).
9.   Of course, the coldest days (during the daytime have been
     in the mid 40's).

Also, Mommy said she saw three more robins in the front yard when she came home from the store.  She also reported that Rita's is open now and she had one of their "gelatties (sp??) yesterday.

Lastly, I can't wait until it warms up more and the upstairs windows are open!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanted to cuddle with Mommy around 1:00 a.m. Of course, she had to shoo me away as my way of cuddling then was laying on her head and kneading her neck!  She's no fun!!

She told me to lay at her tummy or shoulders or feet but not on her head.

I eventually moved to her feet and fell asleep.  

Lastly, I send my belated concats to Sampy for his DDP yesterday!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy got out her metal tape measure with a hook on it's end again and used it to retrieve "stuff" I had stashed under the stove and refrigerator.  This time she found out that I had a very big stash as follows:

1.   34 milk jug rings;
2.   2 balls;
3.   2 hair scrunchies;
4.   1 bumblebee toy;
5.   1 crocheted toy with a bell inside;
6.   1 pair of scissors (yep, I stole her little pair of  
     scissors that she uses to cut open stubborn bags of food
     be it our dry or her cereal or fruit . . she was looking
     all over the house for that.  She had a hunch that I was
     the culprit for its disappearance.

And that's all.  I use the 'fridge and the stove as goal posts in my private little game of football.  Sometimes I steal Mommy's stuff and use that as a ball too as noted above. If I can carry it in my mouth and bat it around, it's a toy!

Lastly, I've been watching the birds a lot this weekend.  They were really chirping a lot this morning.  I feel that spring is on its way.  That'll be pawsome as I'm tired of the winter.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I give my belated concats to Bail and Merl for their DDP's this week!

Secondly, Happy Friday!  And indeed today will be that as we're expected to have temps rise into the mid 70's! I know Mommy will turn off the heat today and purrhaps she'll leave us an open window we can enjoy while she's at work.

Lastly, I got stuck between the front door and screen door Wednesday night.  Mommy came home from work and brought in some stuff from her car.  She had to go back outside to put some junk mail in the recycle bin, and that's when I stepped outside the first door and the screen door closed behind her thus closing me in between both doors.  Was she ever surprised to find me there when she opened the screen door!  Of course, I was okay.  I'm just not happy because I didn't get to accomplish my great escape.

Well, that's about it from me.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bail and I were having fun early this afternoon.  A couple of two-tone gray birdies were sitting in the honeysuckle bush outside our kitchen window.  Mommy said they're called "finches".  Then she tried to immitate our bird calls, and Bail turned around and gave her a funny look.  I paid her no mind and kept watching the finches.

Also, today is supposed to be warmer.  It is that except we didn't see much sunshine.

Anyway, I'm going to keep it short.  I want to take a nap before dinner is served.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOO-HOO!  I'm DDP again this week!  Except I'm the only family member up there this time.  Thank you Diary Gal for looking my way again!

Also, it's FRIDAY!  And it's pay Friday for Mommy.  Maybe she'll have a chicken pawty tonight in my honor!  I surely hope so 'cause I LOVE chicken!

Also, I thank my following friends for their kind words, comments, and gifts:

1.  TATE - yummy shrimpie;
2.  BUDDIE & Family - cool comment;
3.  SKYLAR & Family - lovely heart;
4.  HOOCH & Crew - purrty blue rosette;

Lastly, Mommy told me that Sampy had a strange thing happen to him last night.  He was rolling in circles and back and forth while biting himself as if he had the worst itch ever.  He's doing fine now without any more episodes. And he doesn't have fleas or any sores on him.  We don't know what this was all about and pray it doesn't happen again.

Well, I must go now to enjoy chillaxin' on my special day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got a nail trim this morning, and I didn't give Mommy too much of a problem.  She managed to get both of my front paws.  I didn't act like Sampy did when he got his.  He squirmed and tried to grab the nail clippers out of her hand with his teeth.  He also made his hissed off noises, "kak, kak, kak".  Three "kak's" in a row means he's pretty well annoyed.  All in all, she did manage to trim his front nails and a couple back ones.

Now, the rest of us need trims.  I don't know if Mommy can do that today as her left wrist is hurting after Sampy's squirming around.

As to the new cat tree, I love scratching on it and leaping into it.  I haven't tried sleeping in it yet. Maybe when it's warmer.  Right now in the cold weather,I prefer to sleep in something with a lot of blankies on it such as Mommy's bed or the fleece doughnut bed. 

Anyway, that's about it from me.  Purrs & Breeeeeeeeeeeeps to all,

Yep, I got some (purrhaps 1/2) Oriental in  me; the wedge-shaped head, the big ears, the dainty kitten-like footsies, the green eyes, and of course, the playfulness and chattiness too!

Also, our old cat tree sits in a snow bank on the front lawn.  Boy oh boy do I miss it!  Of course, I like the new one too!  Ah, such is life, turn, turn, turn to everything there is a season!  I'm thinking that maybe some strays or even birdies will want to check out the old tree before the trashman comes tomorrow morning.

Lastly, some of us got our Valentine's Day pics up.  Mommy's trying to do this before the person from the Geek Squad comes out to hook up our new catputer today.

Well, that's it.  I gotta run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We lost power at 8:00 p.m. last night because of the nasty, heavy snowstorm.  At 8:30 p.m. the power came back on for 5 minutes then flickered a few times, and completely went off until 4:30 p.m. today.  That's almost 24 hours without heat or electricity.  The temp in the computer room (that's where the thermometor is) was 45 degrees.  BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

To keep warm last night and off and on during the day today, we had a "bed-in".  All of us piled into the bed that was covered with two blankies, one poly-fill comforter,two down comforters, a fleece throw and a snuggie.  I was the one who kept crawling under the covers and snuggling up to Mommy to keep warm.  Sampy, Bail and Merl all laid in a circle on top of the snuggie.  Of course, Cam, had her heating blankie the whole time.

Mommy also missed work because she wanted to watch us and the house to make sure nothing serious happened.  Sampy has a heart condition, and she was afraid that too much cold would hurt him.  Also, Cam with her old age, was a big concern.

Lastly, because Mommy couldn't cook anything, she ordered a pizza.  After she ate the pizza, of course, we had another bed-in from 4:00 to 4:30 and that's when the juice came back on.

All in all, losing power is a big time bummer especially when it happens during the winter.  That's why none of us are too fond of snow around here.  Snow is nice for winter photography and that's it.

We purray that this doesn't happen again this year.  It's really odd that we didn't lose power last year during those "Snowmageddons".  I suppose the power lines were weakened from it and they snapped last night which was our first big storm of 2011.

That's about it in a nutshell.  I hope none of our friends had to go through this power outage.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I blog about my wishing my bro, Merl a happy birthday and Sampy for his DDP which both fell on Friday the 14th!  Way to go dudes!!!

Secondly, I ask "why" does this so-called person who lives at the end of our block (as told by neighbor to Mommy) let their sweet little orangie kittie roam the streets all the time and even in the cold weather.  We belive they've let him roam also in the snowy weather as we've seen pawprints in the snow in our yard and on our front stoop.  We are speculating those are his footie prints as he's been the only cat we've seen hanging around lately.

About two weeks ago, Mommy and I spotted him (yes it's a boy)cruizing the neighbor's yard.  I tried to chase him from window to window just like I do with squirrels.

A little before that, Mommy was on her way to go somewhere and he was on our front stoop and let her touch him.  He wears a collar too, but Mommy didn't get a look at it. 

And to top it all off, those so & so's let this kitty roam the streets on Halloween.  In fact, he was walking amongst some trick or treaters who stopped by our house.  It looked like he was trick or treating himself.  These people should know better than to let their cat out on Halloween of all days.

Some humans never cease to amaze me.  Even those x-owners who dumped me outside two years ago.  I'm glad Mommy took care of me and even Cammie Rose for letting me eat some of her food when I was starving.

Anyway, I'm getting off my soapbox now.  I had to vent about these type of people who don't deserve pets.

Lastly, Mommy's going to go to Petco and check out their cat trees again.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was good in this aspect:

I let Mommy trim my nails without putting up too much of a fight.

I was bad this way:

I knocked down about five small kittie refrigerator magnets.  I managed to give one back to Mommy.  I retrieved it from under the 'fridge.

I was cute this way:

Whenever I "breep" I'm cute.

So I'm the good, the bad and the cute.

I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend.  I did!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wowza!  Bail got DDP today!  This is surely a pawsome way to start the New Year in our family!

I hope everycat's Catmas was purrfect, and I extend my wishes for a pawsome and prospurrous New Year!  I also purray that this year holds a lot of good luck for everycat and their families!

As to this morning, the squirrels are driving me NUTS!  They are outside running around and therefore, I run from window to window in the hopes that I can catch them.  Mommy thinks I'm as nutty as those squirrels!  He-he-he!  Also, there was one big guy doing a tail-dance while he sat on the neighbor's back porch railing.  I wished I could have gone outside to chase him.

Anyway, I've been pretty good and posed for several cuddle pics with Sampy.  This is the first time that he and I slept together in the same cat bed.  Those pics will be added soon to our pages and/or FB this weekend.

Well, I must go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was good on Catmas Day part of the time.  It goes like this:

When Mommy's friend Mary came over, they proceeded to prepare dinner.  After the table was set, I decided to hop up there to see just what was going on.  That was a big "no-no" on my part. Mommy grabbed me and put me in the master bedroom and shut the door.  Fortunately for me, I had company as Bail was already in there.  As to Merl and Sampy, I didn't know where they were.

Anyway, when they were done eating, Mommy let me out of the room and fed Sampy, Cammie and me.  As to Merl and Bail, they didn't feel like eating until later.  As everycat knows, Merl still hasn't gotten over his fear of visitors in the house.

Later on, while they were watching "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", Mary started to crochet a fancy blankie.  I was very good as I din't spring on the ball of yarn once.  Instead, I fell asleep on the top of the couch behind her head.

Yesterday, we got a mini-snow storm.  The front and back yards look like giant frosted mini-wheats.  The hoods of cars, stoops and sidewalks are covered, and the roads are clear.

Today, we're having a "snowless" blizzard as the man on the radio called it.  The winds are blowing like crazy around 35 mph. Poor, Mommy has to go out in it today or maybe she'll do it tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm tired after thinking of what to write about.  A nappy is calling me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We're supposed to get our Catmas tree tomorrow.  Of course, Mommy will only let me see it when she first brings it in the house.  Then it's hidden in the computer room until after New Year's Day.  It's apparent that she doesn't trust me as I climbed all over last year's tree even before the ornaments were on it.

She truly believes I would rock the tree just like the one in my background rocks. She's so right about that.  Trees are made for climbing and swinging in!!!

Lastly, we had a chicken pawty last night and will have another one tonight.  That's something to look forward to.

Have a pawsome weekend, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was a wash sheets and blankie day.  Mommy stripped the master bedroom bed and carried the stuff downstairs.  As soon as she opened the cellar door, I flew down the steps.

She wasn't happy about that as she doesn't like me down there as I snoop and try to do naughty stuff like get ready to leap onto places I shouldn't.

I tried my best to behave while I was down there.  I walked around meowing and sniffing stuff.  I also watched her put the dirty linen into the washing machine and take the clean stuff out of the dryer (a few items were left from the other day).

When I got done watching her take care of the laundry, I looked up toward one of the windows which was about a six foot jump.  Mommy said, "no you don't.  You'd fall back down".

She then took me back upstairs and she went back down to finish with the laundry.


MOMMY'S NOTE:  Landy wanted to jump into the cellar window which is about a six foot jump.  I have to stand on a ladder if I ever want to open the thing.  Also, the windowsill is very narrow and full of spider webs.  It's obvious that I don't go up there much as I have a hard time climbing ladders because of my messed up right knee.

BACK TO LANDY:  Anyway, later on Mommy made me a new Catmas pic.  I'm with Santa claus in this one.  If anycat wants to make a pic like this they can go to loonapix.com.  If anycat wants a snowing pic like Bail has they can go to lunapic.com.  These sites are pawsome and have a lot cool frames and effects you can use.

I guess I'll be on my way now.  The clean linen is back on the bed now.  It's time to load it back up with more cat hair.  Hehehe!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Catmas tree will be kept in the computer room again this year because I'm a "tree-hugger".  I demonstrated this last year when Mommy first bought the Catmas tree into the house. I grabbed onto the tree with my front paws and didn't let go.  I also headbonked it and gave it a thorough sniffing.

She don't trust me!  She's not fun at all . . . she never let me see it decorated last year either as I she knows I would have knocked off all the ornaments.  She knows it for a fact as I'm always trying to steal her earrings.  You know, she's right about this.  I would try to play with and steal all the ornaments!  I can't help it!  Everything to me is a toy!

Anyway, Sampy will get to see the tree and purrhaps Bail as those two are well-behaved.  Cam would never bother the tree either as she doesn't care to go anywhere in the house besides her own room or under the living room couch.  As to Merl, I don't think she trusts him either as he'd knock the tree over.

Anyway, I got to go.  It's bedtime.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are three good reasons why I'd make a purrfect elf for Santa Paws:

1.  I have BIG ears;
2.  I'm very energetic and productive;
3.  I LOVE toys!

I think I'll send him this list of qualifications and hope that he'll get back to me soon as Catmas is almost here!

Also, speaking of toys, Mommy got out an old wand toy and put a new attachment on it . . . feathers!  I LOVE feathers.  Anyway, I was leaping and running in circles to grab the thing.  Sampy and Bail joined in too!  It was such fun!

Lastly, I've been a good boy all week (so far).  I believe Mommy's waiting for me to attack Cammie Rose as I haven't done so this week.

Anyway, I'll be on my way.  Mommy still has a few more things to put on our pages.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe it!  Sampy got DDP yesterday and Bail is COTD today!  Those two are lucky dudes!  Maybe I ought to touch them more often so their luck rubs off on me!!!

Also, while Sampy stayed in the computer room with Mommy while she pulled up a lot of emails, I stole his bed in the spare bedroom.  It's not too bad!!  I think I'll try that again.

Also, I've been good so far this weekend as it pertains to getting into things and/or leaping where I shouldn't. I suppose everycat thinks that's one for Ripley.  

Anyway, it's more than likely going to be a "turn in early" kind of evening.  I think Mommy's very tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's obvious that the Gift Shop isn't celebrating Black Friday.  I'm not talking about the discount aspects either.  I'm talking about the lack of opening their doors early in the morning.  I wanted to give my friend MICHEAL a gift this morning for his DDP, and there was a sign on the Gift 
Shop door stating, "please wait until the Gift Shop loads".  WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!  Did they run out of merchandise?  Did they sleep late or what???

I have no alternative but to try later and if that doesn't work, I'll give Micheal a comment-type gift.

I hope everycat had a pawsome Thanksgiving!  We certainly did because Mommy made sure all of us got our turkey even if she didn't cook it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ "I'm gonig to start a fight . . . ."

I thank "Pink" for this song.  It fits me to a "t".  I'm contemplating to change my moto to "I'm going to start a fight" or maybe something different to describe my cattitude, "Bad to the Bone" or maybe "I'm Bad".  I've got a good choice to think about.  Mommy's going with, "I'm going to start a fight" as that's what I always do with my sibs.  I'm the instigator of fights in this house.  With my bros, they start as play and sometimes escalate.  With Cammie Rose, I want to fight right from the beginning, and she escalates it.  Fur flies when we get into it.

Anyway, I had two tag you're it types of fights with Merl this weekend.  He's the one who tags me back and chases me.  I love this!  Bail springs on me and takes off like a bullet.  I never can catch that dude.  As to Sampy, we get into some wild and crazy wrestling matches and when he's tired of it, he hisses at me and runs away.  I think I provoke him sometimes.

Anyway, it's a lovely warm and sunny weekend.  I wanted badly to join Sampy and Mommy in their early morning meowtings.  It's a bummer that I can't go outside and roll in the fallen leaves.  I bet that would be a blast!

Oh well, such is the life of an incarcerated boy!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all on behalf of all of us, I concat Bail on his DDP for Nov. 19th.  WOO-HOO, my cuddle bro!

Secondly, shame on Mommy!  She worked overtime two days in a row; Thursday and Friday.  On Friday, she came home close to 9:00 p.m. 'cause she had to get gas for her car and grocery shop after working overtime.

Boy oh boy, was I ever hungry!  So were my sibs.  We don't like it when Mommy comes home so late.  It's a bummer!

Anyway, I'm going to bug Cammie Rose for a bit and go to bed.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today was an interesting day so far.  I came across two things that are 100% on my yummy meter; one tongue candy and the other eye candy:

1.  Mommy gave me something called "Chicken of the Sea" which is human tuna!  It was soo yummy that I kept wanting more and more and more . . . unfortunately, she wouldn't let me have a whole bunch of it . . . pawrents are so strict!

2.  There was a beautiful girl kitty curled up in a ball on our back stoop.  Mommy told me it was the cat she called "Torbie Sue" when she used to stop for food during 2008.  She said her real name is "Willow" and she lives two doors down from us.  She was so beautiful that I wanted to go outside and give her a kitty kiss.  Eventually, she left and when she did I was heartbroken . . .  I ran from window to window in the kitchen looking for her.

So, I know I'll get more tuna probably tomorrow as I saw Mommy put the rest of it in the 'fridge.  As to Willow, I hope she comes back so I can look at her beautiful emerald green eyes and bright red hair once again.  I love redheads!!!

Well, that's my adventure for today.  I got to run and let Mommy go to Weis Markets to pick up some cat litter.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There's another fast runner in the household and it isn't me!  It's Bail!  He runs like he has jetpacks on his feet!  My oh my does he fly!

When Mommy came home from work several hours ago, I crouched down and sprang on Bail because he was in the cat activity cube making all kinds of scratching noises (no he wasn't doing his business in there).  Anyway, I launched myself in his direction and out of the cube he flew.  He zoomed out of the dining room, flew over top of the living room couch and up the stairs.  Mommy and I think he's a very fast runner when he puts his mind to it.  In fact, I didn't bother to chase him as it would be useless . . . I'd never catch him in a million years.

Anyway, we didn't have another coldcuts pawty either.  Mommy was naughty and took them to work and finished them off for her lunch.  BUMMER!  She's not nice, is she?

Well, that's my blog for the night.  Sorry I haven't written in some time.  We take turns around here during the week and all of us do entries on the weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I'll start out with a quote as pawmissed:

"The guests included Wolfman, Dracula and his son."  The Monster Mash sung by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

Mommy says this quote is especially for me as I'm the monster in the house.  Not that I'm ugly.  It means the kind of monster who's making mischief all the time . . . always into things . . . some dangerous, destructive, and annoying such as turning on a stove burner, ripping out moulding from side of a kitchen cabinet, knocking the digital control box off the TV many times, bending the mini blinds in the kitchen,and terrorizing Cammie Rose.

Mommy hopes when I get older I won't be so hyper and destructive.  We'll see about that when the time comes I always tell her.

Anyway, I wish everycat and their families a safe and fun Halloween!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Halloween is tomorrow!   Woo-Hoo and BOOO! 

And because of it being Halloween, each of our furmily members will have a quote from a Halloween-type song or maybe a movie or book in our diary entries.

I guarantee it'll be pawsome!  We never did this before so I look forward to it.  So far Cam and Bail are doing quotes from two classic rock songs.

Also, starting tonight, Mommy's going to watch some scary movies. Believe me, she's got a lot of them.  In fact, she's got so many, she can't decide which ones to watch.  She even has some scary science fiction ones!

Lastly, Mommy knows for a fact that I was the stove burner-turner-oner culprit.  Yesterday morning, I launched myself up to the cabinet above the stove while she was in the kitchen.  She told me to "get down now!"  I did so, and she witnessed me come down head and front paws first like a squirrel comes down a tree.  Then I lept the rest of the way over the stove top (paws not touching the burners though).  She truly believes when I did this the last time, I missed and accidently stepped on the burner thus turning it on.  Don't worry now as Mommy has all burner covers taken off.  She puts them back when she has to cook something.  She don't trust me anymore!

In fact, Mommy's friend asked how was the "beast" doing as she got her voice mail about my turning on the burner.  Hey, I'm not the devil!!!!

Anyway, I must go now as it's time for a nap.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I extend my concats to my fluffkins-type brother, Bail!  Woo-Hoo, dude!!

Also, Mommy had a vegetarian lunch today which consisted of fresh asparagus (which I never had before today) and frozen penne pasta, red peppers and peas mix.  While she was eating, I stood beside her because something on her plate smelled very YUMMY!  She pulled off a tip of one of the green stalks and gave it to me.  I gobbled it up just like I did with the corn last week.  This stuff which she called "asparagus" is PAWSOME!  I LOVE IT!  She, of course, gave me some more but not the stalk part; only the tips as those are easier to chew.

She offered some to Bail who in turn sniffed it and walked away.  He said "yucky" and "Landy, you and Mommy are nuts to eat that stuff".

Lastly, I was a good sport and let Mommy take a few pics of me wearing some Halloween stuff.  No hats of course.  Still I don't like to wear anything on my head.

Well, I have to go now.  I hope everycat is having a pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, I'm an undercover kitty.  Not a spy.  Oh, no!  I'm the type of kitty who loves to go under the covers of Mommy's bed when the nights are cold.  I will wake her up in the middle of the night and scratch and pull and tap at the covers so she'll pull them down enough for me to crawl under there with her.  Then I start kneading her neck and shoulders.  Then she calls me "Prickle Paws" meaning  need a nail trim.  Geeee, I'm only giving her a kitty massage and thanking her for letting me crawl under the covers with her!

Anyway, it's a brisk start to today.  Later on it's supposed to hit 70 degrees so we'll have a couple upstairs windows open.

Purrs & Breeps to all,

Landy

P.S.  Purrlease vote for me and my sibs.  We don't have many pics up yet as the camera batteries are dead (beyond being chargeable.  We are using some pics that were taken during the spring of this year.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ At Mommy's dinner time today, I was offered something called "corn".  At first, she gave me one kernel, and I scarfed it right up.  She gave me a few pieces more, and I demolished those too!  Again, she gave me more and I ate all that.  Yep, I'm corny for corn!  Where has this delicious stuff been all my life? 

Does anycat like corn in Catsterland?  

Mommy told me she used to have a cat named "Sandy" who loved something called "corn on the cob".  The first time he had it, he stole it out of the garbage pail.  She told me Sandy used to hold the cob down with one paw and chew on it to remove the remaining pieces of corn.

Also, I've been a good boy around the stove except for yesterday when Mommy caught me up there.  I was ready to launch myself up to the top of the pantry.  She GROWLED at me the word "NO" and added, "STAY OFF THE STOVE AREA".  She then clapped her hands and I took off.

Lastly, I gave my bros Sampy and Bail my concats for their DDP's this week.  They were on a roll!

That's about it for me.  I'm going to curl up on the living room chair for a few hours.  I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy thinks I'm a terrorist as I almost burned down the house yesterday evening!  Of course, this was all an accidental slip on the kitchen stove knob when I tried to scale to the top of the pantry.  I've been up to that pantry before and have never accidentally turned on the stove.  I'm copping to this as nocat else goes up to that pantry.  Merl used to do it, but now he's too big and fat to get up there.

When Mommy came home there were natural gas fumes in the house and the one burner was shooting out medium sized flames which didn't go above the part that you put cooking pans on.  It was also rather warm inside.  

Anyway, she was in a panic and opened the kitchen and dining room windows and the front door.  She also opened several upstairs windows to air it out.  She kept everything open for a whole hour.

All us kitties are okay, but at first she couldn't find Bail, and that raised her panic level a few notches.  

All in all, Mommy took off the two knobs nearest to the pantry.  She couldn't remove the other two as her hands weren't strong enough to pull them off without wrist pain.

She's looking for child proof stove knob covers and is having a hard time finding anybody who sells them.  She found a place online called BabySafeAmerica.com but they don't have a way you can order them unless you call their 1-800 no.  Of course, Home Depot doesn't carry them as they are a specialty item.

Well, that's about it.  I have to be more careful I suppose and not be so destructive.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy placed her hand-held mirror on her bed and I looked into it.  OMC!  In it, I saw another cat who looked just like me, and he was making fun of me!  I pawed at him and reached behind the mirror to see if I could grab him, to no avail.  I then bit the handle of the mirror and pawed at it again.  I tried very hard to flip this kitty over so I could wrestle with him like I do with Sampy.  Still, I couldn't get at him.  Mommy watched with awe as I flipped the mirror several times to see if that would bring forth the kitty inside.  Again, no luck.

Mommy said I was a trip.  She never had a kitty enjoy a mirror game like this before.  My sibs would look into the mirror and sniff it, and rarely paw behind it.

Anyway, that was my fun time for yesterday evening.  I really enjoy playing games with Mommy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I also noticed, a bit late, that I now have two candles on my cake.  Yep, my birthday was also my two year anniversary on Catster.  I was one year old when I moved into my new home and joined Catster.

Anyway, I had a pawsome day on my birthday except for one thing:  Merl decided to give me a spanking.  First of all, he jumped me and grabbed me by the scruff with his teeth all because I jumped up next to him on "his" dining room table.  He then bopped me in the butt when I sprung loose from his grip.  He was then on me again and we wrestled.  I think he plays mean a lot of times.  I didn't expect him to be mean to me on my birthday of all times!

Oh well, Merl has some issues!

Anyway, I'll be on my way and let Bail drop off a short, sweet note.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Monday, September 27th, I will be three years old!  OMC, how time flies!  It seems like only yesterday that I showed up on Mommy's back porch on September 27, 2008.  When the vet looked at me, he said I looked about a year old.  So, that's how my birth date was guestimated.

I'm so excited!  I wonder if Mommy will get me some of that yummy Tiki Cat tuna!!  Slurp, slurp, slurp!!  

Also, I thank Charlie, a nice white doggie who's the head honcho of the Birthday and Gotcha Club, for the lovely birthday card!  Way to go, Charlie, you cheered me up so much!!!

Lastly, we had an early breakfast this morning.  It consisted on Fancy Feast tuna florentine!  YUMMY!  TUNA ROCKS!!!

Anyway, I'll be on my way.  I want to lay on the window perch so I can catch some rays.  It's sunny and a little cooler today!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA!  Mommy got an email tonight from stuffonmycat.com letting her know that a pic of me in my cat tree with a bunch of toy kitties on top of me has been accepted and will be on their site starting 10/1/10.  In that pic, I also have my paw over one of the kitties eyes.  Of course, this pic has never appeared anywhere before.  We're so excited about this!  That made our day today!

Also, I was naughty while Mommy was at work.  She knows it was me as I'm the only cat who messes with the cords behind the TV downstairs.  Yep, I knocked the TV digital converter box and its cord to the floor behind the TV.  She wasn't very pleased about this.  This is about the third of forth time this has happened since she has had that box.  

I can't help it when I get full of energy.  I want to fly at those times and it doesn't matter where I land.  I leap, spin, run, scamper, and bounce throughout the house.  Sometimes I fly all the way up to the top of the kitchen pantry (Mt. Everest of the house).  A lot of times I invent my own games.

Anyway, I'm going to wrap it up for tonight.  Have a nice night, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!!!  I fell into the Drinkwell last night!  It happened like this:

I was playing with a new milk ring and tossed it in the area around the Drinkwell.  I stumbled and fell into said fountain.  Water spilled everywhere while the thing hissed at me.  I think one of my paws got caught in its cord and that's how this accident happened.

Most of the water got on the mat on which the Drinkwell sits.  I got some water on me too. Anyway, I'm dry now.  I don't think I'll play around that thing again.  It's not worth it!

Well, I'm going to keep this one short as I'm going back to bed.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Thursday evening, Merl a/k/a the Panther Boy, started a wild fight with me.

"It started out with a kiss . . . how did it end up like this?" to quote a line from a song by the alt rock group the "Killers".  

Here goes:

Merl gave me a sandpaper kiss on top of my head . . . we then sniffed nose to nose . . . before I knew it, he was bopping my butt . . . I launched into him . . . we tumbled . . . he bunny kicked my tummy and made me cry "uncle" . . . I sprang from his grip . . . he was hot on my tail . . . I flew onto the little stool in the kitchen . . . . and he was along side of it ready to launch up on top of me . . . I jumped down and somehow got under the stool . . . he swung at me . . . and I swung back . . . then in walked Sampy and gave us the evil eyes . . . he conveyed to us through telepathy that we better stop . . . or both of us would have to deal with him . . . the fight ended . . . all of us went our separate ways . . 

So there you go.  Merl started this whole thing with a kiss and it escalated.  When the Panther Boy attacks he is very gentle at first then look out . . .  I wonder if real panthers act the same way.

To change the subject, we're having a lovely start to this Labor Day weekend which consists of cooler temps.  We're only supposed to be near 80 degrees and then on Tuesday the heat comes back.  We want the heat to stay away.  

Have a pawsome holiday weekend,my Catster friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ For some reason we've been getting the message "stack overflow at line 1338" everytime we try to view a gift.  We have no idea what it means except for a Catster flea infestation.  Does anycat have this message attached to their gifts?

Also, Mommy took a bunch of pics with stuffed toy kitties on top of me.  This could also be called a "stack overflow".

Also, I give my belated concats to Sampy for his Diary Pick yesterday!

Lastly, Mommy had a very busy family day yesterday and was gone for nine hours.  When she got home, boy oh boy, were we hungry for some moist food.  Of course, she's a good Mommy and has the dry food and water out for us all the time.

She had a picknic lunch that her brother and sister-in-law made of chicken salad sandwiches (yummy, I could have eaten one of those myself!) and potato chips.  Mommy brought the sodas and lemon ring cake.  Then Mommy, her brother,sister-in-law, Dad and Mary hung out at the pool for several hours.  Later on they went to The Outback.  She told me she had Norwegian salmon which was good except they didn't leave it on the grill long enough rendering a small portion of it a bit mushy.  The manager came out and gave Mommy a choice of more salmon or a desert FOC (free of charge). They were very apologetic about the portion of her salmon being undercooked. She selected a carrot cake to go. Of course, Bail's not too happy as Mommy brought cake home instead of salmon.  

Anyway, it's our breakfast time.  I'm looking forward to that!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a good boy all weekend until today.  First of all, while Mommy was eating some tilapia (fish), I jumped upon the table and stuck my nose on it.  She caught me and put me down.  She ended up breaking that corner off the fish since my nose cooties were on it.  He-he-he!  I knew that would make her give me some of that yummy fish!

Also, after dinner, Cammie Rose came out from under the red couch and was rubbing on Mommy's feet.  I then came along and cornered Cam between the wall and the other couch.  She was growling and hissing big time at me too.

Then Mommy had to spoil my fun by giving me "time out" in one of the carriers.  Five minutes later, she let me back out.  I again looked for Cam and didn't see her.  I think she went back under the red couch.

Lastly, Mommy took a buch of pics of me too with the stuffed kitties earlier today.

Got to run.  Have a pawsome Sunday night, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I do the most breeping in the household and I'm part Oriental!  Mommy thinks the other half is Russian Blue as my coat has darker blue (gray) on the tips which cast a silvery glow.

Anyway, Mommy told me that she and some of her FB friends posted yesterday about cats that trill.  Some of them didn't know what a trill sounded like so Mommy wrote down, "brrrrreeeeeeep".  A lot of cats do this in short breeps.  I do long fast ones as I run past Mommy and my sibs.  I do this for attention and it surely works!  And at mealtimes, I throw in some high-pitched squeaky murrraaah's which are nothing as loud or deep as a regular Siamese.

Anyway, Grandpa and Mary are on their way here in their RV.  Currently, they are in Hagerstown, MD.  All of us give them credit as he's 91 and she 82.  I'm really excited as I never met them before.  I also understand they have their doggie, Bridget with them. Of course, Mommy's excited too and she also took a few days off from work so she could be with them while they're in the area.

Anyway, it's a windows open day so far as it's not blazing hot.  We're not sure of how it's going to be later on, though.

Well, that's about it from me.  I'm going to take a nap as I had an early breakfast.

Obviously, day lillies are not harmful to bunnies.  That's really great!  I was so worried the other day when I saw the bunny gobble up those lillies.

Also, it's been a quite day except for the bunny action.  In fact, I've been good and haven't bugged Cammie Rose today either.  That's a big plus for me. 

Anyway, I'm going to take a little nap while Mommy watches TV.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I send my get well wishes to Cam.  It's no fun picking on a sick kitty.  I want her better so I can tease her again.  I love it when she swings at me and hisses!  I really miss that!

Also, the bunny was back on Thursday and was eating day lillies off the ground!  Mommy heard that day lillies are poisonous to cats.  She doesn't know about bunnies.  Of course, we're worried because we haven't seen the bunny since that day. Purrs and prayers that my bunny pal didn't get harmed by the lillies.

Lastly, Mommy missed another Kodak moment.  I fell asleep with my head on a box of salt water taffy.  Before Mommy could get her camera, I was awake and followed her to the computer room.

That's about it.  The rest of us will write tomorrow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy made sure us kitties had an exciting Sunday afternoon.  She put on our "Catnip Video" DVD, and Merl, Sampy and I watched it.  In fact, I watched it twice whereas my brothers only watched it once.  I was so captivated that I almost wanted to jump at the TV to grab the birdies.

Also, she opened a new milk carton and gave me a green milk jug ring.  That's the first time I've seen a green one.  I thought it was cool!

All in all, I had a great time on Sunday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I truly believe birds don't have much of a brain.  Hence, the term bird-brained!

While I was sitting in the open kitchen window, all of a sudden a bluejay flung itself at me.  Boy oh boy, did that catch me off guard! Of course, I jumped at the stupid tweetie in an effort to catch it!  No luck though as the window screen got in my way.  Lucky for the bluejay too!

Also, as of this past Wednesday, Mommy's brother's camper is gone.  I now have a better view outside this kitchen window.  Now when the bunny comes back, he'll have nothing to hide under except for Mommy's car. I hope my bunny buddy shows up soon as I haven't seen him/her in a few days.

Anyway, I'll let Sampy write about Wednesday.

Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I want to talk about bluejays.  They're fun to watch, but make awful screeching noises most of the time.  Mommy told me they're saying "cat" when they screech like that.  I believe she was joking.

Secondly, Merl and I thoroughly enjoyed the tilapia pawty last night.  Bail, of course, spit the fish back out and said "yucky".  

Because Merl and I liked eating tilapia, we had a nice playtime afterwards.  I, this time, initiated it by tagging him on the butt. He tagged me back and I pounced on him.  We tumbled a bit, then he chased me around the dining room table a few times. When we got tired, we called it quits.  

Merl meant no harm to me this time.  It was good clean fun.  I like it when he plays with me and isn't a bully.

Anyway, I hope to have nice play sessions with Merl again soon.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As everycat may know, it's been too hot around here this month.  Yesterday was one of those record-breaker hot ones with an expected high of 100 degrees.  We believe it got up to that too!

Mommy had the AC on most of the day.  Also, she went nowhere except to take out the garbage and check the mailbox.  At her age and with her health issues, she can't take that kind of heat.  

Around 8:00 p.m., Mommy watched AVATAR again.  She can't get enough of this one, obviously.  Again, I watched it with her while I laid on her tummy.  I was captivated by all the noises the alien jungle creatures made; lemurs, wolves (or whatever they were), and other unseen things that growled, chittered, chirped and yipped.  Mommy's TV is one of those old console types with two big stereo speakers on each side.  With that sound system, you feel like everything's happening in the house.  Believe me, my big oriental ears were all perked up!

After AVATAR was over, we all went to bed. 

Today, it's a bit cooler, but not sure how much.  There's supposed to be a T-storm later on.  I hope it rains again as everything is drying up again.  

I got to go now.  Have a pawsome weekend and keep cool, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The bunny was in our driveway again today.  I couldn't stop looking at him/her for a long time.  In fact, I refused my dinner while my sibs ate.  When the bunny left, I finally decided to eat my dinner.

I wanted Mommy to let me outside so I could chase the big-eared critter.  But, you know how it goes around here . . . she never lets me outside for nothing.  BLAH!!

Anyway, I'm going to keep mine short and turn it over to the House Panther.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy and I had a wrestling match in the upstairs hallway last night.  In the shorter part of the hallway, is one of our water container dishes.  Sampy jumped me and pushed me into said water dish.  I GOT ALL WET!!  I freaked out and I ran downstairs.

I didn't think he was playing fair this time!  And I think those heart meds are making him stronger.  You know those meds are good when he can keep up with me and/or outdo me.

Also, we had a lazy afternoon today. Mommy, Sampy, Merl and I took a two hour nap in the living room; I was on the couch with Mommy, Merl was on the coffee table, and Sampy was on the floor.  Cam & Bail stayed upstairs for their naps.  Yep, it was a lazy day.

Lastly, I never felt that earthquake on Friday.  

That's about it from me.  Good night.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My latest boosts include:

1.  Mommy's Reading Glasses:  I found Mommy's reading glasses
    on the dining room table.  Apparently, she was reading
    something and forgot to put them away. Of course, I found
    them, batted them around, lifted them up with one paw and
    threw them on the floor.  She picked them up before I  
    could carry them off;

2.  Mommy's Pretty Cat Ornament:  She has a pretty cat
    ornament (a girl kitty wearing a red hat with purple
    feathers, a purple ruffle around her neck, and the rest is
    red fringe that dangles).  This ornament was in the computer
    room hanging by a hook on the wardrobe.  It was something
    I really liked because of the feathers and fringe and knew
    it was a "must have now".  I jumped upon said wardrobe,  
    grabbed the girly kitty ornament with my paws, put it in my
    mouth and was ready to carry it off when Mommy caught me
    red pawed. Unfortunately, she stopped me in mid boost.
    BUSTED!
    
All, in all, Mommy would make a good security guard for a store as she's always catching my stealing stuff.  I bet she could do this with humans.  Of course, this is my guess.

Anyway, as Sampy said it was raining when he did his entry.  Of course, it's still raining.  Boy oh boy, did we ever need this rain!  We're all so glad around here. It could rain all day long and it wouldn't bother us one bit.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a really cool job around the house.  Of course, this is  a self-appointed  job!  I'm an official Grocery Bag Contents Inspector!  Whenever Mommy comes home from the grocery store and places the white plastic bags on the dining room table, I'm up there inspecting.  I LOVE THIS JOB!!!

Last night Mommy came home late as she worked overtime and had to go shopping after that.  I was especially HUNGRY and decided to stick my head into each bag to see what was worth eating.

I found the following:  cherries, grapes, and blueberries which are not good for me to eat but nice to play hockey with.  I found a box of cereal - yucky; yogurt - yucky; spinach - yucky; a bistro salad - yucky; milk - yucky; cranberry juice - yucky; some kind of tuna casserole and fish frozen dinners - yucky; paper stuff you can't eat but are excellent stuff for a kitty to shred; and then I smelled something really yummy - CHICKEN!!!  Then I saw another good thing - CAT FOOD for all of us!  

All in all, everything was YUCKY except for the cat food and chicken.   Again, I LOVE MY JOB AS A GROCERY BAG CONTENTS INSPECTOR!!!

Lastly, 4th of July weekend is here!  Mommy will be having another 'staycation'.  There are two fireworks displays she can go to this time:  One in Laurel which is always held on a Saturday; and of course the one on the University of Maryland campus which will be on the 4th.  Both places have the most powerful pyrotechnics around our area aside from Washington, DC, which Mommy never goes to because of all the walking involved, and traffic.

Anyway, I wish everycat and their families a safe and pawsome 4th of July.  We will be handing out American flags today and tomorrow to our friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As everycat may have heard, I got a nail trim today.  Only the front ones, though.  I wiggle too much for Mommy's own good.  She loses patience with me as I won't let her get all my feet done at once.  I have a pawsitive feeling she'll be back tonight to get the back ones.  I think I'll hide on the highest kitchen cabinet when I see her coming with those awful clippers!

Also, on a good note, Mommy let me and my sibs have something called "cold cuts".  Yep, HAM and TURKEY!  We were dancing for the stuff!  Of course, she wouldn't let us have big pieces like we all wanted. Pawrents are so strict at times.  It bums me out.

Lastly, we're putting up our patriot pics this weekend.  I can't believe it that 4th of July is right around the corner!

Well, I'm going to keep it short.  Have a pawsome day, my Catster friends!

While Mommy was at work today, I decided to claw up the toilet tissue while it was on the roller.  Yep, I scredded it good!

During the weekend, while chasing a milk jug ring,I ran across Mommy's bare left foot and left a good-sized scratch.

Lastly, somecat chewed on one of her magazines.  That, I think Sampy did.  I'm not copping to that one!

Anyway, when she got home from work, all of us were sweet angels.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today is the first day of summer.   I say, it's been summer all this month long . . . hot and humid!

Yesterday, Mommy's neighbor came over to bring her new office chair from her car to the computer room.  Of course, Sampy and I had to check out all the action.  We watched while the new chair was put in place and the old one removed.   While they talked, Sampy showed Mommy's neighbor how much he loved me by putting his paw around my neck and grooming my head and ears.  I, in turn, groomed Sampy's feet.  Mommy's neighbor thought we were CUTE!  He said he's never seen cats be affectionate with each other (of course, he's a dog person). Hearing that we were cute meant a lot to us. 

Anyway, Mommy's off to work again.  Got to run.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lando, the Destroyer is my new name . . . sounds like an action figure you don't want to mess with . . . Mommy called me this after I tore out a one-foot piece of moulding off the bottom of one of the kitchen cabinets . . . she doesn't think she can put it back as her wrists aren't very strong due to injuries she sustained during the Snowmageddons in February 2010.

She's going to ask the neighbor if he could do it; if not, she'll have to get hold of Billy, the carpenter who put the cabinets up in the first place . . .

I don't think Mommy's too happy with me right now, and she told me she may also have Billy put in a kitchen door to keep me out of there.

YIKES!  I'm going to miss the kitchen if that happens!  Maybe I ought to cool my kitchen destructive habits . . .

Well, that's it.  I think I'll lay low for the rest of the day and of course, behave myself.

It's hotter than blazes!   And of course, we have that nasty, sticky humidity this area is well known for in the summer (heh, it's not summer'till next weekend!) Also Mommy's got the frizzy hair again.  I think Bail's fur is frizzing too . .

Anyway, we're purraying for some rain to cool this off and drop the humidity.

Well, I must go now.  I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend!

Unfortunately, I don't know where it's body went.  I'm bummed as I didn't get to catch the moth and eat it like Sampy did a week or so ago.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brothers and sis have been hogging Mommy lately when it comes to diary dictation help!  The nerve of them!!!

Anyway, I'm doing great except, I don't like to run around as much in this hot weather. I bet everycat and Mommy appreciates this.

Also, Mommy told Bail and I that she plans on making our windowsill perch a summer-type cover made out of, perhaps, an old towel.  The fleece cover is too hot to lay on in this weather.  I hope she gets this project done during this weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I extend my belated concats to Sampy for his DDP yesterday.   Mommy had a chicken pawty in his honor, and he only wanted two little pieces.  Bail, Mommy, and Merl ate most of it.  I also wanted one small piece.

Secondly:  WHEN FREAK ACCIDENTS HAPPEN:

This is a not too pleasant subject.  My accident was minor and I'm doing fine.  I just had a momentary scare.   Mommy had the freezer portion of the refrigerater open as she was getting something out of there.   That's when I decided  to jump up to 'fridge to get to the cabinet above it (I always leap from the small table next to the 'fridge first, then I go from the 'fridge to the cabinet.  I'm too scared to scale straight up to the cabinet like Merl does from the small table beside the 'fridge and also he does it this way as the 'fridge ledge is too narrow for his size).   Anyway, since most of the ledge on the 'fridge was missing because the freezer portion was open, I fell straight to the floor and took off toward the dining room.  Mommy followed me and asked if I was okay.   I told her I was fine and it just scared the pants off me!

As to Mommy's freak accident, this was bad:   On Monday, she stopped to pump gas after work at the gas station nearby.   It had been raining off and on that day, and she noticed the ground at the station had oil slicks here and there.   After she pumped the gas,  she headed toward her car and looked down again to see if there were oil slicks and/or anti-freeze puddles.  She was  concentrating deeply about not stepping into anything like that because of us kitties, and that's when her awareness  faltered as she failed to move away from the car door when she opened it.  Suddenly, she felt a big THWACK on the left side of her face.   It hurt like crazy and instantly it swelled up and turned blue.   Instead of going straight home to get ice, she stopped at Wendy's nearby to get some.   Luckily she had some paper napkins and made several mini ice packs to help with the swelling.  After that she put a lot of make up on the wound and put on her glasses to help cover it up.  She then went into Petsmart because us kitties were out of moist food and after that she came home and used the icepacks on her face off and on.

The next day at work, she told her co-workers about her latest accident except this one was Mommy vs. Her Car.    They were all shocked about this awful accident.   She had to  pile on her makeup and wear her glasses all day, and still looked like a raccoon.

The next day, the swelling went down a bit.  The other secretary asked her how her swollen face was, and Mommy tried to make a joke of it by parodying Lady Gaga's "Poker Face".  She said, "My Swollen Face" . . . "take a look at my swollen face, ma-ma-ma-ma!"   Of course, she made her laugh and the boss too.

As to now, her face is less swollen and less black.   The raccoon look is beginning to fade.  Hopefully, by Monday, her makeup will conceal the lighter bruising much better.

My purrs go out to Mommy and hope her raccoon face fades soon.   I think she gets an award for the freakiest accident of the year!

Anyway, hopefully Mommy and I learn to be more careful and aware of what we're doing in the future.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was eating my breakfast as I normally do every morning.  You see, I always eat from my dish which is placed on the BIG CHAIR in front of the kitchen window.  After I ate a few bites, I lifted up my head from my dish and peeked out the window.  To my amazement, I saw a small blue and white kitty cruise through the neighbor's backyard.  I immediately wanted to go outside and chase her.  I went from window to window in an effort to do so, to no avail as Mommy doesn't let me outside.  GRRRRRRRRRR!!

Mommy told me the kitty's name is "Gretchen" and she's the sister of "Willow" (the kitty we used to call Torbie Sue).

You know when you see a girl kitty and she takes your attention away from breakfast, that she's really pretty.

Geeee, I wish I could meet Gretchen in purrson!  I hope she cruises by again so at least I can see her beautifulness!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Did anycat miss me?   I haven't posted in my diary for one whole week.   That's quite unlike me.   Sorry, I was busy running around and watching the birdies and squirrels.   I couldn't stay out of all the open windows; and if I wasn't doing that, I was sleeping.

Yesterday, while Mommy was preparing a Swedish apple pie, I sat in the kitchen window.   She told me not to jump on the counter where she was working as she didn't want my fur in her pie!   Whatever!!

Anyway, I was a good boy and kept running from the kitchen window to the dining room window.  I didn't leap onto the counter at all.

Today, it's a rainy Monday morning which is no fun.  Well, that's about it.  I have to let Mommy get ready for work.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy says the reason why Sampy isn't hanging around us right now is because he's "fasting".   The only "fasting" I know of is what I do:  run fast, eat fast, and talk fast!   He doesn't need to be shut away from me or his sibs in the computer room with Mommy all night just to "fast".

Then Mommy explained to me that "fasting" is having no food for a certain amount of time.   He has to do this because it's doctor's orders because of his echo-whatchamacallit.  Poor Sampy has to go without food for 12 whole hours!   I hope that never, ever happens to me as I LIVE TO EAT!!

BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH to fasting!!!!  It sounds like no fun at all!

I wish Sampy the best of luck with his cardio whatever.   I already miss my big bro after not seeing him for almost 12 hours!

Purrrrrrrrrs to you, Samps!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA!  It's a double celebration day today!   First of all it's Mother's Day and I let Mommy sleep in a bit later.  This is how I did it . . . I had my wildcat run earlier than 6:00 a.m. so when Mommy was awake I went back to sleep next to her tummy.  Yes, it's a cold Mother's Day and I tried to keep her warm.

I wish everycat's Mommy a Happy Mother's Day today!!!  And as Bail mentioned, purrlease let your special Mommies sleep in a bit later this morning.

Also, I concat Bail on his DDP today.  Way to go, bro!!!!

Also, it's furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreezing today!   The temps went way down last night into the 40's.  COME ONNNN!   We don't need winter back!  It's supposed to get up to mid 60's and that's below the norm for May around here.   We had it nice all week, but on Mother's Day it decided to get colder.  In other words, keep your Mommies warm today by snuggling next to them when you let them sleep in late and also when they sit down to watch TV, warm their laps.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ More powerful than a locomotive . .
Able to leap tall kitchen cabinets in a single bound . . .
Able to scarf down several bowls of cat food in a single gulp . . .
It's Landycat!!!!

What inspired this parody of the old "Superman" show intro is:

1.   On Monday morning I jumped up to the kitchen cabinet/pantry tops 
       (the highest in the kitchen  which is  almost up to the ceiling);

2.   This morning I ran across Mommy's bed at 6:00 a.m. full speed ahead;

3.   Always stealing everycat's food (except Bail's which is yucky).


Enjoy the day, my friends!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Cammie Rose
Can I purrlease chase you?

Wowza, the old gal has a birthday!   I know what she's going to do for her special day too!   A little birdie told me Mommy's going to buy some Tiki Cat tuna and/or sardines!   Cam loves this stuff, and I'm sure she'll will let me have a taste!  If not, I know ways of sneaking it.

As a second thought, I think Mommy will get all of us some Tiki so we can have a big celebration!

Anyway, I did sing a song for Cammie this morning as noted above.   I have a nice voice and should be an "American Feline Idol".

Well, I got to go now.  Have a pawsome day!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Before I write about my adventure with the moth, I thank  my good friends NAKITA and family for the lovely kite and concats for my yesterday's DDP!

Now, here goes about the moth:  I was in the bathroom and decided to jump into the bathtub.   I found the month on the bottom and started playing with it.  Boy oh boy, did I have fun batting it and chasing it around and around.   Then I stunned it and down the hatch it went . . . no not the drain but my mouth!!   Believe me, moths taste 100% better than flies.   I hope more of those flying goodies show up so I can enjoy that yummy taste!  Also, Mommy thanked me as she was ready to take a shower and didn't want that moth flapping around in the tub with her!

Anyway, we're in store for some pawsome weather starting today:  70 degrees, then in the 80's from Friday to Monday.   Windows open and flans blowing.   It'll be summer instead of  below normal spring temps we were having this week.

Well, I got to let Mommy get ready for work.

I also thank my good friends BUDDIE & Family for their pawsome pawmail.

My further thank yous are:

1.   CHEF ROOSTER -  lovely tulip & cool comment;
2.  TISKERS & Family - cool sombrero;

I'm going to take it easy today,  as it's cold outside and when it's cold, it's good sleeping weather.  A good snuggle/sleeping session with Bail would be good.

Anyway, I got to see some of "Avatar" when Mommy watched it again.   Unfortunately, I slept through the part when those "banshees" (bird/dragon creatures) were flying about.  

That's about it.  Have a nice day, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Never in my life had I heard Mommy talk about a movie that she couldn't tear herself away from!   "Avatar" is the best movie she's seen in ages.  She said parts of it made her cry, cheer, and be totally mesmerized.  It was a science fiction, action, mystical, love story type of movie.   The alien warriors, dragon-like  creatures, lemurs, alien wild dogs, and floating jellyfish were so life-like.  Parts of the sound track reminded her of the chanting in the new version of the "Time Machine" which she also has.

When the movie was over, Mommy finally came downstairs to feed us.  I grabbed one of her legs while she was washing our dishes (my way of saying "hurry up and feed me")

Anyway, she says she's going to watch "Avatar" tomorrow on the downstairs TV as the remote works . . . . the upstairs one only powers on . . . she has to manually punch the DVD player's buttons.  I can watch it with her downstairs as she doesn't like me in the computer room for too long as I want to leap on stuff!

Well, that's about it.   I'm going to pick on Cammie Rose . . .

Also, I believe the Diary Gal loves "pee issues" along with "poopie issues" mentioned diaries!  

Anyway, it's Monday, and that means Mommy has to go back to work.  Sure, I'll miss her as she was home during most of this weekend.   

Well, I be on my way and add my thank you's to this entry throughout the day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I 'm never a corner pee-er!  No, not me!   I give Mommy that respect as I know it's difficult for her to scoop up corner pee-balls from the litter box especially when her right wrist hurts when she does so.

I pee 1/4 of the way inside the box!   Also, Sampy does the same thing, either 1/4 in or 1/2 in.   He's got the real knack of peeing in the middle  portion.  He puts the rear portion of himself in the litter box while he rests his front paws on the rim.  He's really good at doing this as he never tips over the box.

As to Bail and Merl, they are the corner and entrance pee-ers on all our boxes as they have lower fronts.

Lastly, I wanted to follow Mommy into the cellar this morning so I could watch her do the laundry.  Again, she said, "no" as I almost jumped on top of the hot water heater a couple months ago.   She also told me there's a "spider city" under the stairs that she needs to get rid of soon.  I suppose she's right.  Still, I persist on trying to sneak  past her whenever she opens the cellar door.

Well that's about it from me for now.  I hope everycat is having a nice weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sure, it's colder today and that doesn't bother me one bit as it hasn't slowed down the bird and squirrel activities outside.  I'm still up before the birds and running back and forth from window to window to check out what's going outside that early.  You see, I don't want to miss a thing!

Also, I've been a good boy lately, and Mommy pawmises to buy me some Tiki Cat food at the place called the "Mighty Healthy Pet".   She let me have some of this a while ago, and I loved it!

Anyway, I'm going to chillax for now in the green cat tree down stairs.  From here, I can see what goes on in the front yard!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Let me tell you, I had the most pawsome day today:   I got to watch Merl eat a fly and participated in an invigorating wrestling session with Bail.   Today, wasn't a boring day at all!

Also, Bail and I got to hog the windowsill perch and soak up a lot of rays.  Today's weather was made in heaven . . . warm, sunny, in the mid-70's, and low humidity.  It was so lovely!

Now, comes one of the best times of the day . . . dinner time  . . . so I got to cut it short.   I like to do short and sweet blogs anyway.   If I  want to talk for long periods of time,  I  run around the house "breeping " at Mommy and my sibs.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ And birds and squirrels and birds and squirrels and birds and squirrels, ad infinitum!  

They're driving me C - R - A - Z - Y!!!!!

Every single day they're outside flying and running around.  I run from window to window to window trying to catch  them, to no avail.   Now if Mommy would let me outside for one time, I know I'd come back with one of those taunting critters in my mouth.   I know I would.

But,

I had to settle for the lower life today  . . . a fly . . . I bopped it good and brought it down in mid-flight.  Then Mommy took over and whacked it with a rolled up newspaper!   SPLAT!!!!

Merl mentioned in his diary today that there was only one fly in the house lately.  WRONG!   After I brought down that one fly, Mommy and I saw about eight more; she bopped them all.

Before dinner time, there were three more flies which Mommy did away with.  Tomorrow it's going to be another all out war on those horrid pests.   Out comes the fly paper strips to hang in the windows again like last year.  It has to be done before it gets out of hand.

Well that's about it until tomorrow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!  Bail and I had two of our pics showcased in the "friends" scroll today.  We were cuddled on Mommy's bed.   In fact, it's cold, and she found both of us cuddled like that again tonight on the her bed.

When we go back to bed for the rest of the night, Sampy and Merl will probably join in.  This is what happens on a cold day in the neighborhood!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish my oldest bro, Sampy, a very happy 13th birthday today!  He's my bestest wrestling bud too  . . . the others don't want to hang in there as long as he does.

Also, I've been a good boy Mommy says, as she accidently left her car keys on the dining room table all night long and I didn't steal them!   That's a BIG plus for me!  Can you imagine the scenerio if I had stolen them and hid them somewhere.   She'd have to tear the house apart before she could go to work today.   The spare key the dealership gave her only opens the car and doesn't start the thing.  Not good at all!  

Anyway, I think she needs to be careful next time or at least make a duplicate key just in case Klepto Kitty choses to drop by some time soon.

That's about it from me.   Have a most meowvelous day, my Catster friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ While Mommy was making her bed this morning, a little white feather drifted out of one of her pillows.   Of course, I found said feather and picked it up in my mouth.  I was chewing on it, and Mommy tried to get it away from me, to no avail.  It stuck to my tongue and it had nowhere else to go but down the hatch.  I suppose it'll travel through me and end up in my litter box soon.

Also, I concat Merl on his DDP (gasp) writing about me, Cam, and himself wearing no underpants!   That catguy is soooo silly!  The Diary Gal surely liked it and put him in the spotlight today!

Anyway, I hope everycat had the most pawsomest of all Easter weekends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy left one upstairs window open today as it's going up to 68 degrees!  Of course, we're going to have to share.   Our windows hold three cats max.  Two at a time is more comfortable, though.  Three's a crowd!

Anyway, the rest of the week will be warmer and more windows will be open for us.

Can't wait!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You know Mommy's getting more and more attached to me as her "pet name" vocabulary for me has increased since I've moved in during September 2008:

Dainty Face, Little One, Bunny Ears (right in time for Easter ., . . I might as well be the Easter Bunny in our family 'cause of my large Oriental ears), Breeper, and Breepus (one of Angel Bentley's pet names as he "breeped" a lot and I equal the amount of "breeps" uttered in one day).   Of course, there's "Landofur" or "Landifur" which are take offs on Bail's "Bailafur". 

I know there will be more as I grow older.

Anyway, Mommy was wrestling with her server yesterday and today.  They had to troubleshoot her email and take out the old one and put in a new one.  Finally, we got our email service back on track.   Unfortunately, a lot of Colorado vacaton pics that she got from her sister-in-law got lost.  She never got around to moving them.  I say that's Mommy's fault right there.   PHFFFFFT, Mommy, that's contrib!!!

Well, that's about it.  It's another clousey (yes "clousey" which means lousey cloudy) day.   Rain is expected later on today and also Monday.   Nice weather is expected to arrive mid-week.   Also, we might get near the 80's on the weekend.  You have to go through the nasty stuff before getting to the good stuff.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy called me a good boy this morning as I let her trim my nails without much trouble.   She managed to trim three whole paws!   Only one left to go!  Usually, I only let her get one paw.   Nail trims aren't as scary as they were when I moved in.

Lastly, I played with my ring-a-ding toy after dinner.   I tossed it around while my brothers watched.  Gee-whiz, I wish they'd join in some times.   

Anyway, that's about it.   I'm going to take a nap on Mommy's bed.  I have to keep it warm for her.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA, I'm DDP today!  I broke the dry spell since Bail's DDP of 2/5/10!   Thank you Caster for this lovely honor!   My story/joke on socks and my RPN abilities surely paid off!

I also thank the following for their kind word concats/St. Pat's Day wishes & gifts:

1.   FIDO & Family - lovely lucky clover;
2.   HAZEL LUCY - pawsome pawmail;
3.  CHEF ROOSTER - lovely lucky clover;
4.  LITTLE BIT - cool comment;
5.  GLEEK - cool comment;
6.  VIOLET & Family - cool hat;
7.  HOOCH & Crew - cool hat;
8.   SQUIRREL & KITKAT - pawsome pawmail;
9.   BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
10.  BIRTHDAY & GOTTCHA CLUB  - cool pawty hat;
11.   ARLI - cool comment;
12.   EDGAR & Family - cool comment;

Also, Mommy's feeling almost 100% better since last week.   She can help us with our diaries more often as it doesn't hurt to type (at work and home she had to keep smearing some of that yucky-smelling stuff like Bio-freeze on her hands).  Now she doesn't have to do that.

In fact, she went on a long shopping spree for us and herself yesterday afternoon and didn't get home until almost dinner time.  She got filters for our drinkwell, more pill pockets for Sampy, food for all us kitties, and a cute shirt with a cat and two doggies on it for Petsmart Charities.  She also got two DVD' s at Best Buy:  "2012" and "Slum Dog Millionaire"; went to Safeway  for postage stamps; and Rita's for a gelatti.

When she got home, she fed us, started loading up a newer IE version (the old one pooped the bed), and put in the DVD "2012".   Merl and I watched some of it with her.   If you're into disaster movies this is the ULITIMATE ONE!!  

Anyway, it's another rainy day (a giant YUCK) for three days in a row.  Maybe the people in this area need to built an ark like in "2012" as there's a lot of flooding going on.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Socks around here come up missing a lot of times.  Where do they go?   I say they go into the "Hose Zone"!   He-he-he!  Logically speaking, socks like to hide in other pieces of laundry such as sleeves of  shirts, blouses, legs of pants, and corners of fitted sheets.  Some of them also never make it to the laundry and are still hanging out in the dirty clothes basket.  Now, the missing ones are probably in the "Hose Zone" which could be located under Mommy's beds, dresser drawers, and couches.   How do they venture that far, I'm not telling!!!!

As to my RPN skills, I gave Mommy at 3:30 a.m. (new time that is) a full head, neck, and shoulders massage and purred sweet-nothings in her right ear.   She loved it, I know she did.  I then fell asleep on her pillow along side of her head.

This is what I call total devotion to my Mommy.  I love her.   What else can I say.  I'm very receptive to her moods and can usually get her feeling better.  That's what RPN's are good for.

Anyway, I hope the sun comes out today!   It's boring around here with no sunny days.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning, I took a flying leap upon the counter around the stove, and up I went to the kitchen cabinet above it.  I then crossed over to the top of the pantry.   Mommy freaked out when she saw me do this.  She doesn't like me being such a daredevil and leaping like a monkey to the highest cabinets especially this one and the one over top of the flourescent lighting.  Both of these are almost 5 feet from the countertops.   The one over the fridge isn't as high, and I always jump onto the top of the fridge first instead of going straight up like Merl.

When Merl was younger and smaller, he tried to jump on top of the pantry and tore down a strip of moulding.  Mommy doesn't want this to happen again.   And Merl was lucky he didn't get hurt.

She can't understand why Merl and I are such good climbers.   Bail and Cam never do this, and Sampy used to go above the fridge until he got old.   Now, he needs to use the step ladder to reach the kitchen sink counters.

Anyway, off the subject of climbing Mt. Everest.   

This morning was a bird show, to say the least.  It's been drizzling all morning and the birds were singing like crazy.   They were happy because the ground was nice and moist and all the worms were coming up.  Of course, I went bats running from window to window to catch them.   There are robins, bluejays, and grackles out there now.

Lastly, Mommy told me the redbud tree now has buds and she expects them to open  around April 1st.  It's spring next week, so it's pretty much on time.  

I hope everycat is having a pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On Sunday, Mommy's friend came over with some KFC.   Both Sampy and I could smell it right away.  In fact, when both humans sat down to eat, I was the first to jump upon the table to check out the great-smelling chicken.  Unfortunately, they shooed me away.  I jumped down and had a conference with Sampy.

A minute later, he jumped upon the table to check out the chicken, and he also was shooed away.

Apparently, this was the first chicken pawty that was for human adults only.  NO CATS ALLOWED!  That was the ultimate BUMMER!!

Anyway, besides that, we've had a warming trend of temps in the lower 60's.  All of us hope it stays warm and there's no more snow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy has a new gentleman friend.  In fact, he got to meet us kitties a few weeks ago and guess who is his fav?   ME, of course.  I'm honored!    He loves the Siamese (Oriental type) kitties.  Also, I made sure I kissed up to him the whole time he was here.  Every time, he calls Mommy, he says, "give Landy a hug for me."   Mommy asked him if was I his favorite and he told her "yes".

Of course, his next favorite is Sampy.   The reason is because both of us are the outgoing people-type kitties.   Merl is totally shy, Cammie is scared, and Bail is so-so (he let him touch him but was not sociable like Sampy and I).

Anyway, he's coming for a visit tomorrow.   I can't wait to see him again.

As to today, I missed out on a chicken pawty.   I slept through the whole thing.  Can you believe that?

Well, that's about it from me.  It's almost 2:30 p.m.   Mommy, of course, went to bed at 9:00 p.m. and slept to midnight.   Her second shift of sleep is coming up.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm glad it's Friday!  Now Mommy can spend more time with us kitties and help us with our diaries!   She's been too wiped out lately this week and didn't have the computer on long after work.

I've been good this week (no major naughties).   I did my usual stuff by stealing Cam's leftovers in the morning.    I also chased Bail (he's too fast) through the living room last night.   Nothing much to report.   Mommy gave me the Irish last name "McNaughty" because I'm naughty a lot of times.   Maybe I ought to live up to the name more often for the month of March!!  How about it, my friends?

Stealing things . . . running up curtains . . .  jumping upon the mantel . . .  jumping Cammie Rose . . . . tight walking the kitchen cabinets (the 5 foot ones near the kitchen sink)  . . . Oh there's a bunch of bad things I can do!!

Anyway, I'll be thinking of something and will report it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As some of you may remember, this below-listed song is to the tune of Loreena McKennitt's "La Serenissima" (see our mewsic boxes):

Sampson Silver Dollar, Sammy Sammy, Samp;
Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bailey, Bail;
Merly, Merly, Merly, Merly, Merly, Merl;
Cammie, Cammie, Cammie, Cammie, Cammie, Cam;
Landy, Landy, Landy, Landy, Landy, Land;
These are my babies, how I love them so;
These are my babies, where I go, they go;
Sampy, Bailey, Merly, Landy, Cammie, oh;
Breep to all you Catsters and how we love you so.

Anyway, I'm honored, to say the least.   

As to this weekend, we had a slight frosting (baby snow) on the grass and car tops.  Now, that's the kind of snow we like around here.   As soon as the sun came out, it all melted!   

Lastly, I thought of another poem that I wrote during Christmas 2008 about Mommy's jewelry.   NEWMAN's DDP the other day made me think of this.  I'm going to post it again for all to see:

Mommy's jewelry,
Mommy's jewelry,
Mommy's jewelry, HURRAY,
Oh what fun it is to play
with Mommy's jewelry all day!
Hoopie ones, dangly ones,
Ones that are shiney and bright,
I can play with Mommy's jewelry each and every night!

I think it's fun to bring back poems we have written in the past in case somecat has missed them the first time around.

Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday morning was very exciting for me and my bros.   We had fun watching the birds and squirrels in our back yard.   There were many black/purple birdies with yellow beaks on the porch (Mommy calls them "grackles").   I suppose they're called that because they have a funny peep that sounds like they're saying "grackle".  

The snow has melted and that's why more critters are out and about.   I LOVE IT!   I can't make up my mind which window to look out of.   I keep running from one to the other to see if I can catch these critters!

Anyway, I thought I'd blog early this morning before Mommy goes to work.

Purrs & Breeps to all on this cloudy Tuesday,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh, Oh, here we go again with this title.  I believe Merl did this when he was younger, and recently I think maybe our friend NEWMAN did.

Anyway, here goes:

THE GOOD:

1.    I kiss Mommy a lot;
2.   I purr and knead her a lot;
3.   I'm a great nurse for Mommy when anything hurts on her;
3.   I groom Sampy.

THE BAD:

1.    I'm a daredevil and it's getting out of hand according to Mommy. She doesn't
        like it when I tight walk the plank holding the flourescent lighting behind the
        valance above the kitchen sink.   I went there this morning and again during
        mid week.   I hop up there which is a 4-5 foot high jump straight up onto the
        kitchen cabinet (I walk the plank to the other cabinet, turn around, come
        back to the first cabinet and jump down squirrel-style).   She's afraid I'll 
        either fall or get stuck up there.  It's DANGEROUS, as the plank is only wide
        enough to hold the light and when I walk it, two of my legs (front & rear ones
        are on the plank side, and the other two are on the  top of the kitchen window
        frame;

2.   Today, I jumped upon the emply trash can and it fell on top of Merl.  He took
        off  like a bat out of you know where.   He's fine though;

3.    I snuck into the cellar today, and was sizing up leaping on top of the hot
        water heater pipes.   Mommy got hold of me and brought me upstairs.   She
        told me to stop going where I'm not supposed to go.   It's DANGEROUS!

4.    And, oh yes, before I forget, I got locked into the bathroom with Cammie
        Rose all day long while Mommy was at work.   I'm not saying how this all
       happened as it happened so fast.   Yes, I'll cop to picking on her while I
       was in there because Mommy found the evidence (Cam's hair in the windowsill
       and on the rugs where she doesn't sleep).   Sure, I stole a lot of her food,
       water, and used her litterbox as I haven't yet mastered opening doors that
       are shut tightly. 

THE CUTE:

1.    I'm have that baby kitten look on my face all the time;
2.    I got a natural Valentine's Day heart-shaped bib which also adds to my cuteness;
3.    My green eyes are soooo cute;
4.     I sing like one of those Tribbles (trilling & breeping); 
5.     I play like a kitten even at 2 1/2 years old; and
6.     I take to strangers right away and purr, etc for them.

So there you go.   I'm three guycats in one:  The Good, The Bad, and The Cute!

Purrs & Breeps, everycat on this sunny Saturday

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I'm honored as SAMOA's Dreamboat #27!  Thank you Samoa!  I'm totally flattered!

She says my eyes are beautiful, I sing, and have a heart-shaped bib!   I'm also the only kitty in the family who was chosen.   Yep, I've got what it takes to melt the girls' hearts!

My brothers, of course, concatted me on this.  Somehow, I think Merl is jealous as he also has beautiful green eyes.

Anyway, we've been slacking on the diaries all week as Mommy's been very tired and has injured her right hand (wrist, back, and side of thumb) while trying to remove snow from the back stoop last weekend.  Today, at work, she had a heating pad in her lap and every now and then, she had to put it on her hand.  This morning it really hurt her to scoop out our litterboxes.   Now, we can't let that happen!   She needs that hand to hold the poopie scooper.   Anyway, hopefully, her hand will feel better soon.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is just a short note to let everycat know that I'm doing fine despite the lapse of six days of no diary.  I've been doing my usual stuff, playing, sleeping, chasing Sampy, cuddling with Bail, poking Merl, and teasing Cam and stealing her food.

See, nothing out of the ordinary for me.   I didn't do any big time mischief (yet).   I'm sure Mommy's expecting that to happen soon.

Well, that's about it from me.   Have a nice day, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YIKES!!  More of that white stuff is pouring out of the sky again!  It started yesterday while Mommy was still at work (around 4:00 p.m.)   She worked a full day and went directly to the grocery store to get cat food, litter and stuff for herself.  She told us about her adventure there:

"The store wasn't crowded and I knew there had to be a reason for that . . . not much food or supplies left.   It was true!   I love fruit such as strawberries, kiwis, bananas, and blueberries.  There was nothing left except for a pack of moldy strawberries, two yucky-looking cantalopes, and withered-looking kiwis.   There were plenty of apples, so I went for them.  

As to the cat food, I was able to stock up on that and another thing of litter.   I managed to get milk (that's one thing they managed to stock this time around), two boxes of cereal,  TV dinners, yogurt, applesauce, fruit/jello cups, sodas and cranberry juice.  I already had other stuff in the house, so I'm all set.

The drive home was slippery, and I took it slow, gritting my teeth the whole way.   I didn't get home until almost 8:00 p.m.   Late is better than never, I say."

Back to Landy:

When Mommy came home, all of us were HUNGRY!   Me especially, as I'm a growing boy.   I eat like a human teenager and really can pack it in and not gain weight!

Anyway, the "Son of Snowmageddon" is not as bad as the Dad storm "Snowmageddon", at least so far.   It's snowing now and it's that light fluffy stuff.  Last night, it was wetter (still sticking,though).  Still, the weather people on Channel 9 Storm Watch are saying this is another dangerous storm.  They are calling for 6-12 inches for our area.  

The road out front has been plowed, and Mommy's car is covered.  This snow is supposed to last until later tonight with blizzard-like conditions starting around 10:00 a.m.   One good thing, they didn't mention our County as a target for this blizzard action.  WOO-HOO!  Again, we are crossing our paws,and Mommy's crossing her fingers and praying we don't lose power during this storm.  We got lucky during the last one.

It looks like Mommy has to miss another day of work.   She doesn't like the idea as she has a lot of stuff to do there, and at the same time, she wants to be safe at home and not deal with the slipping and slidding on the way there and on the way back.   

Anyway, I'm going to take a quick nap in front of the heating vent in the master bedroom.   This is the most pawsomest vent in the house and the heat really comes out nicely!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We're hanging in there!   I don't want to brag about this anymore than that as the juice may go POOF at any minute.  There's a lot of outages in our County right now!

I'm the one in the family who is intrigued by this white stuff.  I've never seen anything so powerful (except for the one on Dec. 19, 2009).  This is far worse as it's a wetter snow and is dragging down the tree branches onto power lines.  

Very early this morning, I was glued to the kitty window perch and couldn't stop looking at the storm.   It's all pawsome to me, and I wonder what it would feel like to run around in it!  Of course, Mommy won't let me do so.

Later on, she swept off the front porch so she could get in and out of the door.   At her age, she uses a broom and her feet.  She never shovels as it wouldn't be very wise do to so.  Hopefully, the snow shoveling family will stop by tomorrow to help dig her out.

Also, her car looks like an igloo with wheels.   She plans on taking a pic of this.  She already took some of the poor redbud tree that was bending over from the weight of the snow.  

Anyway, I already had my breakfast and is ready for a nap.

Purrrray that we don't lose our power.

		<title>CONCATS BAIL &amp; I BROUGHT MOMMY A FLASHLIGHT!</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First, of all I give my big concats to Bail for his DDP today!   Way to go, bro!!!

Secondly, what I did an hour ago, totally surprised Mommy.   I grabbed  one of her flashlights by its rope attachment and dragged it along the master bedroom floor toward her.   I wanted her to remind her that she may need it in case we loose power.  Of course, she thanked me for bringing it to her.   She also told me she has a few more flashlights in the house and a nice lantern.  Hopefully, we don't lose any juice because we don't want to be computerless.   We can always keep warm 'cause we have many blankies, down comforters, and each other.

Anyway, I'm being patient in waiting for my dinner.  I didn't act like Merl did when Mommy came home early.   The dude thought it was dinner time and was jumping and purring like a crazy cat to be fed right then and there! He's so silly at times!  

Well, that's it from me for tonight.  Have a pawsome weekend, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, no more January!  It's February 1st and still snow is going to happen as this is supposed to be the snowiest month in our area.  So far, we had one big December snow (blizzard); one medium storm on January 30th and two more storms are called for this first week of February.   All right already!   Enough is enough!   Bring on the spring!

I did things differently last night.  I slept on Mommy's pillow next to the right side of her head.  I wanted to be close to her and purr her to sleep.

Anyway, our weekend was nothing spectacular except for snow on Saturday and Mommy using that dreaded vacuum cleaner on Sunday morning.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I forgot to mention what happened on Sunday.   Mommy still had the computer on and it was on Bail's page.   She closed the computer room door (as she does all the time whether she's in there or not).  Anyway, she had to go into the other room for something, and when she got out, she heard all these baby "mews" coming from the computer room.  At first, she thought it was me and called my name.   Soon she realized it wasn't me and was only Bail's Foo Pet meowing up a storm. 

Anyway, I thought it was rather funny.   Those virtual pets sound so real!

Well, that's about it.  I just thought I'd blog for a few minutes.

Have a nice day, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a badcat and I proved it last night.   I pulled down a dining room curtain.  It's one of those big, thick types that have a string on a pulley thingy to make them open and close.  The rod had pulled mostly out of the holders on both sides.  It was hanging from the bottom portion with curtains still on it.

Mommy found this  "naughty" act of mine late last night.  She' s big time ticked at me and thinks I've become a curtain climber as she's never seen the others do this; and them being bigger cats, more damage would have been done.  Yep, the rod and holder would have come down completely along with part of the wall.   This was obviously the damage done by a light-weight cat . . . me!  YEP, I'm copping to it!

Anyway, she got on a small step ladder, and it wasn't high enough for her to get the curtain rod back into its holders.  She's going to try the large step ladder some time later today.  She's not a happy camper as she has a hard time going on step ladders because of her knee.   She'll get up there, but can't stay for too long as said knee  gets more stiff and sore.

Believe me, I'm lucky I didn't get grounded to the playpen with the door shut for a couple of hours.   Of course, I tried to make up to her last night by "kissing up" with purrs, kneads, and wet nose nudges.

Wish her luck in getting the curtain rod back up.  Then she can hang the curtains back on it and all will be well.   If not, she has to see if her brother or neighbor can fix it for her.

Other than that, it's time for breakfast (yes, it's late today because we slept late).

I hope everycat likes our "hearts"  backgrounds.   Most of us got the same design, but in different colors.  Sampy and Bail both got red.

Purrs & Breeps,

Landy

MOMMY'S NOTE:    Before I tried putting the curtain rod back up last night (to no avail) I took curtains off and set them aside on the table.   This morning, I decided to hand wash the curtains.   I did one and and hung it on the clothes line in the cellar.  I then washed the other one and found two long rips in it!   Apparently, Landy got caught in it and RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP it went.   I'm not blaming him for that as these curtains are so old and need replacement anyway.   If I get the rod back in place, then it's off to J.C. Penney's to get new curtains for the dining room.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so sorry, I haven't written much lately.   It's been one of those weeks wherein I've been running around a lot and after dinner both Mommy and I were too tired to do anything.  I think she only let one or two of us write per night.

That place called "work" got her all worn out.   

Anyway, I'm doing fine and glad it's the weekend so I can be with Mommy more often.  Gee, it's hard when I have to compete with sibs and Mommy's job.  I'm the type of kitty who wants all the attention and when I don't get it, I'm in her face and between her feet as she walks.   In fact, she almost stepped on my tail when she came home from work.

YIKES!!!

Well, Happy Friday, everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Talk about skill . . . talk about agility . . .  that's me!

I forgot to mention one of my greatest skills that I purrformed last weekend; I believe on a Saturday morning.   I jumped onto the TV.  From there I jumped onto the fireplace mantel, ran around the angel figurines, vaulted onto the clock in the middle, jumped onto the other half of the mantel, ran the rest of it past Bailey's trophy and more figurines, and jumped back down to the cabinet below.   I didn't knock anything over at all!   I ran very fast too, and Mommy was pawstruck to see me perform this act with such agility!

She said she was amazed and at the same time didn't want me to do that again as  she's always uptight about the "what if" syndrome about me knocking over/and or breaking stuff up there.

She said I'd be very good at a "cat agility" contest they have in some cat shows nowadays.   They have kitties jump through hoops, run through all kinds of mazes and tunnels.    I think that'd be pawsome to try, and I can't wait until I get the opportunity to do so!

Also, I had great fun this morning running from window to window chasing a silly squirrel.   Squirrels just get me so excited and I'd love Mommy let me outside so I could try and catch one.  I bet I could as I'm very fast!

Well, that's about it from me for today.   Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends!

Landy

P.S.   After I wrote this entry, Mommy offered me a small corner of an animal cracker and I loved it!  She gave me another and I loved that too!  Of course, she doesn't want to give the cookie monsters in the family (Bail & I) too much.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hi, everycat!   I had a great day yesterday in the Diary Limelight!

I also found out this morning that I had a gift and concats from NAKITA & MUPPET.  Thank you girls for thinking of me!!

As to early this morning, I ran around in the kitchen while I meowed non-stop.   Mommy says I was talking to myself.  I have a habit of doing that a lot.  My sibs look at me funny whenever I do this.  Oh well, such is the life of an Oriental kitty!  I love to talk!

Have a pawsome Wednesday, my furiends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As soon as I get done with this diary, I'm staying downstairs until the STINK upstairs clears up.   You see, Mommy is coloring her hair and the smell of that hair dye is AWFUL.   Whatever room she goes in, the smell follows, as the hair color stuff has to set for another 15 minutes.  

Got to run!  BLECH, PHEW, PHEW ACK!!!

Sampy and I go in Catsterland
As DDP's today.
Yay, yay, yay!

Oh well, I can't rap like Merl.   I tried.   

I thank Catster for the honor of being in the Diary Spotlight with my big bro.   It's also cool to share this special day with our good furiend, HONDO!

I thank the following pawsome friends for their concats, kind words and gifts:

1.   EMILY - cool snowman;
2.  SAMOA & Family - cool football;
3.  HOOCH & Crew - cool snow flake;
4.   EDGAR - cool comment;

6.   MERCY - cool comment;
7.   HANNAH - yummy shrimpie;
8.   BUDDIE & Family - pawsome pawmail;
9.   MUPPET & Family - purrty snow flake.

Also, Mommy told me that Sampy and I slept through a chicken pawty.   Is that possible?   She thought it was very strange that neither of us were begging for the stuff along with Merl and Bail.

Lastly, I'm looking forward to breakfast.   I'm HUNGRY!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Off and on, Mommy's knee locked up on her last night.  The pain was no picknic, and she howled like somecat getting it's tail pulled.

The others hid and I came to her rescue.  I sat next to her on the couch and showed my concerns while she rubbed her knee.   She thanked me big time for my nurse-like abilities.

Also, three of us kept her warm last night (me, Merl & Sampy).  

This morning, her knee was acting much better.  Hopefully, it won't act up like it did last night.   She's to call the doctor today to see if what happened was supposed to happen and what to expect in the next few days.

Lastly, it's still cold out.  It's to get a tad warmer (38 degrees).  WOW, a heatwave!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I concat my hairy bro, Bail, on his first DDP for 2010!  He surely started out the new year on the right paw!

Secondly, this morning Mommy heard a shuffling noise coming from above the valance over top the kitchen sink.   She looked up to see something blue/gray tunneling up there above the flourescent light.   At first, she thought it was a large mousie (I don't know why she thought that as there's no mice in this house).   IT WAS ME!    I discovered a new perch!   Mommy asked me how in the world did I get up there and also mentioned that Merl did that when he was younger and thinner.   She then asked how was I going to get down and I demonstrated it for her.   I put my head and front legs over the ledge of the connecting kitchen cabinet, slid down squirrel style, and  jumped upon the counter top.   "See, how easy it was, Mommy!" I breeped to her.

Of course, she hopes I don't do that again.   Also, she's still wondering how Merl and I were able to get up there in the first place.   That's our secret and it won't be revealed unless Mommy catches me in the act of doing so.  Merl won't do it anymore as he's too big and will get stuck.  You have to be 10 lbs or less to carry out this trick!

Well, that about it for now.  Later, my friends.   I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, well, well.  It's 2010 now!   HAPPY NEW YEAR!   I hope everycat enjoyed their New Year's eve!

We stayed in.  In fact, we all slept past midnight.   When Mommy and Sampy came out of the computer room, it was 1:00 a.m.   They awoke to fireworks!   Yes, neighbors around here treat New Year's  as 4th of July.    All kinds of boom, boom, booms, and screeching sounds came from outside.   To say the least, us kitties were scared for a few minutes.

Mommy puttered around for an hour, and went to bed for a second time.  Merl and I joined her.  In fact, I slept late.   It was 8:00 a.m. before I got out of the sack.   Everycat and Mommy were up and about.  

Anyway, I also want to comment on what's going on with the birds today.   I've seen many of them  in the neighbor's front yard, including robins.  I always thought when you saw a robin, spring was on its way.   Why now?   Is this any indication of it getting warmer soon?    I hope so, 'cause all of us are sick and tired of this cold, snowy, and damp weather we've been having even before winter actually started.   Will an early winter give way to an early spring?   We surely hope so!

Purrs & Breeps for 2010!

		<title>SINGING FOR MOMMY'S BROTHER</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm the showoff kitty in the house and proud of it.  I even sang for Mommy's brother.

My entry for today goes like this:    Mommy's brother came over today to put up a railing in the stairway so she'd have an easier time walking up the steps (knee problems).  While he was here, I ran around a bit and then settled down and watched him install the railing.   When he was done, he headed to the cellar to put away the extention cord.  Of course, I followed him down there.  I went pretty fast as I knew Mommy could never catch me.  Anyway, when I got into the cellar, I sang my most beautiful notes.   I surely hope he was impressed.  Mommy came downstairs to bring me back up as she doesn't like me down there because of spiders (she's afraid I'd eat them).  

Eventually, her brother went back upstairs.  Mommy grabbed me, carried me part of the way until wiggled in her arms.  She then put me down and nudged me the rest of the way up.

Also, she finally put up our kitty corner.  It looks nice, but there's a draw back . . . we're afraid of it because it's something new in the house.

Anyway, that's my adventure except I got put into the master bedroom with Cam and Bail when her brother helped fix the computer room TV digital converter box so it could pull in more programs.   Sampy, was already in there, and of course, he didn't bother her brother while he worked.

Lastly, Merl was nowhere to be seen . . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe how fast this year is going!  They say when you get older, time flies by.   Oh, oh . . .  I suppose that's true.  I'm two years old now and will turn 3 in 2010 late summer.  I hate to see how fast time flies when I get to be Cammie Rose's age or better yet, Mommy's age!

Anyway, Christmas is gone now until next year.   We have New Year's Day right around the corner.   And because of this, Mommy asked us kitties if we have any New Year's resolutions.

Well . . . I don't need to correct these as I'm purrfect as follows:  

1.    I'm nice and trim and weigh the least in the family - 10.5 lbs;
2.    I exercise all the time;
3.    I'm very comforting to Mommy (when she's in pain I'm an RKN and
        I also snuggle and purr her to sleep every night);
4.    I never miss the litterbox and always bury my business;
5.    I never say "YUCKY" to the food Mommy serves me.

What I need to correct is:

1.     Picking on Cammie Rose and Sampy;
2.     Stealing Mommy's stuff and putting it under the fridge or stove;
3.     Early morning jogging across the bed.

I'll try to resolve those three.    Mommy says "don't try do!"  I know these will be very difficult to carry out as I love to play, steal and exercise (doesn't matter what time of day either).

Anyway, I hope everycat had a pawsome Christmas and is looking forward to 2010.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!  Oh what fun it is to wish our furiends a Merry Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas!  Meowy Catmas!  However you want to say it, have a most pawsome and happy holiday!

Mommy didn't buy us a new cat tree yet as her knee and the blizzard has prevented her from doing too much shopping.  She's going to try on Monday to see how things go.  

Also, all of us are keeping Mommy company.   She's not sure what's going to happen today except for loading up more snow pics on Catster and FB and getting late Christmas cards ready to be mailed on Monday.  She may visit her friend Mary later today if the weather clears (freezing rain on top of the snow we already have).    Mommy's going to be very lonely today if nothing happens.    Knowing that her Christmas will be spent with her brother and sister-in-law tomorrow gives her something to look forward to.   They will have a nice dinner, exchange gifts, and watch a movie.   

Anyway, again, Merry Christmas to all our Catster furiends!

Christmas is right around the corner.  My oh my did this year fly by! We're going to be sending out our gifts starting tomorrow as it's getting too late again tonight.

After tomorrow, Mommy has the rest of the week off plus the following week.  She doesn't go back to work until  January 4th.  

So, that's about it from me.  I hope Bail snaps out of what's bothering him with his appetite.  I'm the total opposite of him.  I eat everything in sight!

Goodnight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm Diary Pick today.  How cool is that?  Thank you so much Catster for selecting me!  I'm totally honored!

I also thank my pawsome furiends for their kind concats & gifts:

1.   MERCY & Family - cool snowman;
2.  BOOGERS & Family - cool snow flake;
3.  VIOLET & Family - purrty jingle bell;
4.  HOOCH  & Family - pawsome stocking;
5.  BUDDIE & Family - pawsome paw mail;
6.  NEWMAN - cool comment;
7.  LITTLE BIT - cool comment;
8.  NEWMAN - cute litle Voki;
9.  OLLIE POP - purrty jingle bell;
10. SQUIRREL - pawsome paw mail;
11.  TATE - lovely wreath.

Anyway, the tree is decorated (mostly).   Mommy wants to buy a few little red or gold ballies and that'll be it.  I understand the tree has an angel sitting on the top and three cat angels in the middle portion.  I hope she lets me see it when it's done.  I know she won't let me be around it unsupervised like Sampy and Bail (they don't bother trees).

Also, she plans on taking a few pics of it and loading it onto our pages and FB before Christmas day.

That's it.  I'm going to my window perch and watch the construction men try to dig out the  "Hitachi" monster from the snow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh yes, we got a tree!   Mommy brought it home tonight and set it on the kitchen floor as there were pieces of ice and snow still on it.   She took her gloved hands and pulled the cold stuff off and let it fall to the floor.  That's when the fun began for me.   I played my own game of ice hockey.   In fact, I batted a piece under the stove!

After she was done with taking the snow off the tree, she cleaned up the kitchen floor and set the tree in the living room.  That's when the second phase of my fun began.  I kept giving the tree a thorough sniffing over and then I batted the price tag that was still hanging from one of the branches.

Mommy then said, "Landy, check it out now as it's going to be moved to the computer room."   OH NOES!   I wanted it to stay downstairs so I can sniff it and bat the price tag.   

She then explained to me that the tree is going to be thoroughly decorated with things called ornaments and she may let me look at it and that's it.   She's uptight that I'll be climbing on it and batting and stealing the ornaments.    And she is so right about that!   Nice shiny dangly things are for stealing and batting and only hang there to entice me to do so!

Anyway, Mommy almost finished decorating the Catmas tree.  Most of the ornaments are cat figurines, and a few are angels, birds and bells.  Unfortunately, this tree will be behind closed doors.  Yep, it's in the computer room now to be kept away from what Mommy calls the "mischief-maker" a/k/a me!

Oh well, looks like I have to play with my normal toys.

That's it.   I'm the spokescat for tonight as there's not much time left until bedtime.   Goodnight, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When Mommy came back inside after taking the garbage out, she gathered some snow from  her gloves and rolled it into a small ball.  She placed it on the kitchen floor for me to check out.  I did more than that after a sniff.   I decided to give it a good whack, and the thing called a "snowball" rolled across the floor!   WOWZA!  That was pawsome!   Also, it was rather on the cold side though, and soon thereafter it became a puddle.  After I saw that,  I don't think I like toys that melt!  I'll stick to milk jug rings!

Anyway, as you can see (I'm not going to brag) we still have power.   It's still snowing and the plow hasn't gone by since late last night.  I don't know why they're delaying this.   Mommy said they used to make several runs a day to keep the road clear.

Anyway, human children are outside playing and sledding in the snow.  I think they're having a lot of fun.  Even though it looks like fun, I much rather stay warm and do my running indoors.

Now for our weather:   It's snowing right now, and it's sticking all over the place; the ground, roads, sidewalks, trees, cars, and roofs.  It's supposed to snow all night, all day tomorrow and into the night.  By Sunday 6:00 a.m.,  it should be all over.  During Saturday, winds up to 30 mph are supposed to arrive and blow everything around;  yep sounds like a blizzard.  In fact, that's what the news is warning us about.   We live in one of the counties that'll be hit by this mess.

Yikes!  If this is a sample of what winter is going to bring us, January and February (the coldest and snowiest of the months) are going to be extra nasty.  I can feel it!

In the meantime, we're praying we don't loose power around here.  We want to stay warm and of course, we want our computer running!

Well, that's about it.  I'll keep everycat posted on our blizzard of 2009!

Good night,

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Lately, I've been picking on the senior citizens in the house:  Sampy, Cammie & Mommy!

I jump and chase Sampy every day and make him hiss and growl.  I tease Cammie and make her do the same.  When she says those nasty cat words, I breep at her and run. 

As to Mommy, yesterday, I jumped on top of the fridge (that's okay) except I hung my two front paws over the side and tried my best to knock down the fridge magnets.  That got her going & she yelled at me, "NO, NO, NO, NAUGHTY!"   I gave her a funny look and ran.

So there you go.   I don't know why I'm so bad.   Everycat & Mommy thinks I'm going to get coal in my stocking this year.  

Is it too late to turn around my behavior?  I hope so!

Well, that's it.  Purrs & Breeps, my pals.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since it's getting toward our bedtime, I'm the elected concatter.   All of us concat Sampy on his two days in a row DDP's!  Way to go, Sampy!

Also, I've been watching the "Hitachi" creature.   I'm not afraid of the thing as long as it stays outside.   Yesterday, I saw it eat loads of road.   Some of the chunks slipped out of its mouth, and a couple human men used shovels to put them back.  Also, it has four long sharp top teeth.  I thought it was three.   

Anyway, I got to run now.  Night-Night!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OBSERVATION: There's a strange and scary-looking creature (?) on our street every morning Monday through Friday. Bail and I were watching it closely Friday morning. We had that "we're ready to run" look on our faces. 

The beast had "Hitachi" written on its side so I assume that was its name! It had an orange body and a silver type head. It also had a large gaping mouth with three long metal top teeth.

Bail and I watched in awe as it dipped it's long bendy neck until its ugly head hovered above the road. Then it struck and pulled up large chunks of road with it's awful-looking teeth. OMC!

Bail and didn't want that thing to get any closer! I asked Mommy what in the world was that hideous thing. She told me it was something called a "backhoe" (she believes). They use it for for road construction.

Anyway, that was one ugly-looking critter!

As to the rest of my weekend, I had a great time picking on Cammie Rose and playing with Bail's new Christmas toy. Yep, I'm like that. I love to play (even with my bro's stuff).  Of course, since Cam's a girl, I love to tease her. I think it's funny when she growls at me. I just breep at her and run.

Well, that's about it from me. I'm going to lay around until Mommy gets ready to serve breakfast.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm glad Sampy's back from the doctor's.   I missed him a lot!   It's lonely around here while Mommy's at work and no Sampy at the same time was a double blow.   Sure Merl and Bail play with me, but Sampy's my best bud.   

Anyway, I'm glad he's back.

Good night everycat.  I'm sleepy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just peeked out the window and guess what?  IT'S SNOWING!

The flakes are those big soggy ones that aren't sticking yet.  This is our very first snow of the year.   As the temp drops, this snow will be sticking.  They're calling for a couple of inches before it's over with and I believe it'll only be sticking to the grass and car tops.

Anyway, I like watching the stuff come down.   It's captivating!   

Mommy pawmised me that if it sticks enough to make a snowball, she'll bring one in for us to touch (not to eat of course).

I hope everycat has a pawsome weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy came home late this evening as she had to go three places:  Petsmart, Safeway, and CVS.   When she walked in the front door, she placed a bunch of bags inside and carried some to the dining room table.

The bag she left in the living room near the door, smelled really nice, so I looked inside.   I found Christmas toys!   Catnip ones.  I took one of the toys out of the bag and placed it a foot away, near a pole lamp.

When Mommy picked up the bag, she was all nervous 'cause she was missing one of the toys.

At length, she found it near the lamp.   She knows I did it and called me a Christmas snooper.

I asked her who the toys were for and she told me to never mind.

Well, that's about it.  I suppose the toys are for us or our friends.  Time will tell . . . .

Lastly, I understand when we wake up, it'll be snowing!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love cheap toys!   And the cheapest kind are grocery receipts!  I love these when Mommy tosses them to me.  I play fetch, throw the things in the air and dance around in circles.

Mommy said last night that I ought to be on that TV show, "So You Think You Can Dance!".   I like that idea.  Only drawback is they don't have a show like that for kitties.   The closest is the cat agility contest that some cat shows have.   She pawmisses to enter me into that!

Well, that's about it.  I got to tease Cammie Rose.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks to my good friend ANNA, our bio-fields are working!  There's a new box next to said fields that needs to be checked first before graphics can show on our pages.  DUH!!  We didn't even notice those little boxes.

Well, we got the hang of it now!   And boy do we!  Mommy found out that Zingerbug.com has some really cool, animated glittery graphics.

She found one for Merl and one for me to depict how us, the climbing bros, will act if she were to put the Christmas tree downstairs.

I'm Shakin' the Tree!!!  She knows this is exactly what I would do.  You know, she may be right!   In an abundance of caution, she won't ever put up a tree unless it's in the computer room.  That door stays closed, and I'm the one who rarely gets to go in there 'cause of my climbing on display cases of figurines, etc.

Anyway, enjoy the blue/gray kitty on my page doing what I most likely would do with a Christmas tree!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We're having a problem with our biofields today.   They accept the codes and show the graphic on the right side of the code when you click, but when we look at our pages, nothing shows up!   An urgent email has been sent to HQ a few minutes ago.  We think we have biofield fleas.

We've never had this problem before.   We tried Photo Bucket and Zingerbug codes and none of them work to show the graphics on our pages.  Is anycat out there having the same problem?

Anyway, besides technincal difficulties, I had a pawsome day playing chase and tumble with Bail, jumping Sampy and trying to ride him like a horse, stalking Cammie Rose, and being stalked by Merl (I think it's funny when he does this).

I also stole Mommy's reading glasses and knocked them off the dining room table.   Of course, I thought they were a toy!

Well, that's about my adventures for today.   Have a pawsome night, my furiends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my second Thanksgiving on Catster and a little over a year in my new home.  Time certainly flew by.  Around September 28, 2008, I was hanging out on Mommy's back porch with Cammie Rose.   Since then I've been inside and am very thankful for my new home and all the food, toys, and love my new Mommy gives me.   I'm also thankful for my Catster friends, and that I have nice brothers to play with and a grouchy sister to pick on!

I love to cuddle with Mommy every night by crawling under the covers with her, and when I do, I feel so blessed to have been rescued from the outdoors life.  

I don't know why my first owners cast me away from their home.   All I know now is that I'm blessed and that's all that matters.

Happy Thanksgiving everycat!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This Thanksgiving weekend, we're on a staycation, including Mommy.   At this time, there will be a Christmas photo shoot of all of us kitties!  We'll wear a lot of the older collars along and the new one Mommy bought yesterday at Petsmart.  It is red and green decorated with red jingle bells.   I modeled it last night.   Of course, the bells got on my nerves with their jingling whenever I moved my head.

Lastly, I've been eating more of my moist food.   A year ago, I was only after the gravy.   If the pieces are cut small, I'll eat them.   Mommy's so proud of me for doing this!

Well, that's about it from me.   I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, as some of you may know, Cammie Rose's entry "OH Brothers" entry got onto my page.  OOOOOOOOOPS, Cammie watch where you tread!!!  Getting into my Diary isn't cool!  

Anyway, we deleted it from my listing of diary entries, and that's supposed to take it out of the diary page itself.  It didn't.   So, purrlease ignore it.  As I write more stuff, it'll only show if somebody reads my older diary entries.  I suppose a Catster flea got in and prevented us from erasing the entry all the way.  Strange . . .

That's about it except it's raining today.  BLAH!!

P.S.  After I saved this new entry, the "Oh Brothers" one disappeared.  So all's cool now!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I send my concats to my big bro, Sampy for his bazillionth DDP!

Secondly, I stole .10 off the dining room table.   It went like this:   Mommy was rolling coins, specifially ones called dimes and quarters.   She wanted to cash them in at the bank so she would have more paper money to spend.  Anyway, I couldn't resist the pile of dimes and I took a good swipe at it.   I knocked down one dime.  At first Mommy didn't see it then she found it had landed on the dining room chair in which I sat.  She was glad  she found the dime, as she didn't want me eating the thing.  It wouldn't be a pretty picture if I had done so.   Of course, she shooed me away and rolled up the coins ASAP.

Lastly, I'm experiencing some diary fleas at this moment.  Stuff keeps freezing up and taking longer than usual.

Oh well, I best be going.   Have a pawsome weekend my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday morning I snuck into the living room closet.   If Mommy hadn't looked down and seen the tip of my tail wagging near the vacuum cleaner, she would have closed the door with me still inside.   I'm glad she found me as I would have spent eight hours in there while she was at work.  

I did this one other time, but on a weekend.   Sampy alerted Mommy that I was in the closet.   He must have heard me moving around in there.

Anyway, I want to concat all the kitties who have made the finals in the photo contest.   We don't know who to vote for yet as there are so many cool pics!   

We didn't make it this year nor the years before.   We're not giving up though.   It's fun and suspenseful entering even if you don't make the finals.

That's about it.   I'm one of the spokescats for tonight.  

Good night and many purrs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe it!   I finally snuck down to the FORBIDDEN cellar!  Mommy never, ever lets me down there.   She's so silly!   She says there's nasty spiders that live and build big webs under the stairs.   I checked under there and saw nothing!   I think she said that all to scare me from going down there.

Pawrents are a trip!

Anyway, while I ran down the cellar stairs, Sampy followed me, followed by Mommy who had to wash some clothes.   While she put the clothes in the machine, Sampy and I walked around.   We did find a funny-looking cricket and took turns playing with it.  Of course, we didn't kill it nor eat it.   Mommy said it was a spider cricket.

When Mommy was done putting the clothes in the washer, she rounded up Sampy and I.  We were good and went back upstairs.

I thoroughly enjoyed my little trip to the cellar and look forward to sneaking down there again soon.

That's about it from me tonight.  I hope all my friends are having a good weekend.

Breeps, of course,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I sang this song to Mommy last evening when she came home from work:

"MEEE-RUP-RUP-RUP-BREEEEEEEEEEEP" while I ran around in the living room!  I was very glad to see her as I was famished!

Of course, that got her to hop to it and fix my dinner!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was in a stealing mood again this morning.   This time, I took Mommy's flannel pajama pants by the drawstring and took them for a ride out of her bedroom, down the hall, and back.   That was fun!   Mommy said I should have put them into the dirty laundry basket.   Now, that's asking a bit much from me!   I don't even know where she keeps the dirty clothes!

I love to steal things!   I think it's fun.   Everything I take looks like a toy and should be played with.  

Anyway, that's my entry for today.   I hope everycat had a purrfect day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA this has been an exciting weekend for us;  me with DDP on Saturday and Sampy and Merl with DDP today!   I think the Diary Gal likes us! 

This morning, I found that I got  a cool pumpkin & pawsome words from our dear friend, MUPPET.  Thank you MUPPET!  Wow!  We're going to have a lot of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving!

Also, I was very friendly with Mommy's guest last night.   He likes me very much.  Yep, I sat on his lap and let him pet me!   This guy LOVES cats.  I even heard him say that.   Mommy told me he has one cat and a new kitten.

Also, I see I got a Thanksgiving background of a cartoon turkey.  Mommy told me I get the cartoon for two reasons; I'm the baby in the family and have the clown-like purrsonality.  In fact, yesterday morning I stole one of Mommy's flashlights.   It was a very small one that you could put on a key ring.  I found it laying under the end table in the master bedroom.   When Mommy saw me, I was carrying it in my mouth by its little ring.   WELL, TO ME IT WAS A TOY!  She said, "where are you going with that?"  and "do you need to shine a light on something?"  Then, she spoiled my fun, took the flashlight from me and put it in one of her drawers.   Again, Mommy always spoils my boosts.   I feel like she's a security guard in a store catching me for shoplifting!

Oh well, next time I steal something, I'll do it when she's at work.  That way she won't be able to intercept me.

Lastly, it's a windows open day right now.  Mommy opened three upstairs windows.   It's very warm!  Time to soak up some of that autumn Indian summer-type sun and temps.

Purrs & Breeps to all on this fine weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA!!   I'm in the diary spotlight today!   Thank you Catster for this lovely honor!  This happy feeling should help tame the anxiety of going to the vet.

Also, I thank the following purrfect friends for their kindness and gifts:

1.   MERCY & Family - yummy shrimp;
2.  TATE & TONKA - cool brussel ball;
3.  HOOCH - lovely blue rosette;
4.   ANNA & Family - cool football;
5.   TILLY - yummy shrimp;
6.   SAMOA & Family - cool flag;
7.   TOKAY & DOG - yummy steak;
8.   SUGAR - cool comment;
9.   EDGAR - two cool comments;
10. HAZEL LUCY - cool comment;

Well, that's it for now.  I have to let Mommy get ready to take me to the vet.   She's treating today just like a work day as my appointment is at 9:00 a.m.   Luckily it's not a 9:00 to 5:00 event like her work!!

When I come back, I'll add more to this entry on my vet visit.

Purrs & Breeps on this pawsome Saturday!

Landy

ADDENDUM:  Subtitle:  HAVE TARP, WILL TRAVEL . . . 

My vet visit was interesting, to say the least.   First, of all I simply refused to have the vet take my temperature.   I freaked, wiggled, and climbed under Mommy's armpit.   Therefore, the vet decided not to take my temp.   Thank goodness!   I don't like that thing in that certain place!  Then she looked into my mouth, and I let her get a quick peek at my teeth.  She said they were fine.   She also palpated my tummy while I squirmed like a worm.  I didn't care for that either.   When it came time for the shot, I let her give it to me.   Both Mommy and she were surprised at this.   Also, don't let me forget, I now weigh a strapping 11 lbs and 2 oz.   Must be all the food I steal around here along with the chicken and salmon pawties we have!

Also, while Mommy was paying the bill, three loud, blatant dogs came into the place.   One of them had the audacity to stick it's snout in my carrier.  Of course, I was a good kitty and didn't hiss or growl at these doggies.   

Lastly, Mommy had some plastic tarp in my carrier underneath a towel.   Yep, I peed on the way home.   Good thing the tarp was down or else the carrier would have been soaked.   Mommy will always put down a plastic tarp in the carrier for me from now on.   

Well, that's my long blog for today.   Again, I thank Catster and all my friends for their lovely gifts and comments so far!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, we had a chicken pawty around 7:30 pm.  When that was over, Mommy went upstairs to check her phone for messages.  Apparently, there was one from the vet and that was for ME!

YIKES!   This caught us both by surprise!   Mommy totally forgot that she booked me an appointment in November.   She's never booked an appointment so far into the future, and with all the stuff going on with Sampy and Merl, she forgot all about it.  It's a good thing they called (for her sake, and not for mine as I hate going to the vet).

Oh, well, there goes her plans for house cleaning before 9:00 a.m.  

Also, I hope I can control myself this time on the way home.  Last time, I loaded up the carrier with poopie and pee-pee!  I got nervous in the car and everything flew out of me!

Anyway, wish me luck for tomorrow's vet visit and the ride home.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was the bravest kitty in the house this Halloween.  I stayed downstairs with Mommy the whole time and watched her hand out candies to the children.  I didn't run away and I didn't run out the door either.  Mommy was very proud of me!   For part of the time I sat in the green cat tree and watched the street.   The neighbor's fog maker was making good spooky fog and it even drifted into our yard and across the street.

Merl was semi-brave as he stood on the stairs part of the time (in between knocks at the door) and peeked around the ballasters.   Bail was scared and was out of sight the whole time.   Sampy didn't come downstairs like he does every year.  His reason was, he was tired.  In fact, he slept through the whole trick or treat session (6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.)

Also, Mommy had one of those things called a Tootsie Roll Pop.  She let me have the wrapper.  I had a pawsome time playing with that!

All in all, this Halloween was pawsome.  Mommy supplied the Halloween music and the neighbor had the fog machine.

I hope everycat had a pawsome Halloween and stayed inside like we did!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a jewel thief, if given the chance.  If Mommy leaves out a piece of jewelry, guaranteed, I will find it, carry it to the floor and play with it.   The only reason I  steal jewelry is because it makes pawsome toys!

My latest boost was Mommy's Sterling silver ring.   Last night she had placed it on the kitchen counter while she washed our food dishes.  This  ring was too loose and she was afraid it would go down the drain.

Anyway, she had forgotten to put it back on her finger after she was done washing our dishes.   She went downstairs to do some laundry and heard above her head somecat rolling something on the kitchen floor.  When she got upstairs she saw me and Bail standing around looking innocent.  Of course, it was me.  Bail was only watching as I rolled the ring around.   

She picked up the ring and didn't get mad as I didn't put it under the stove or fridge . . . .  yet!

Maybe Mommy now has learned a lesson not to leave her jewelry laying around.   I'll always find it and I may just try to put it somewhere she can't find it!

Well, that's about it.  Tomorrow's Halloween.  Tonight, we're going to send out gifts and again tomorrow.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have Rain Affective Disorder.  So does Mommy!  

Whenever it rains, I sleep in late.  Mommy walks around like a zombie, no energy, no good mood, wanting to sleep in like me and can't 'cause she has to work, feed us, medicate Sampy, and clean our litterboxes, etc.   I get to do the sleeping for all of us.   When Mommy got up to clean our boxes, I was still asleep on her bed.  On sunny days, I'm running around like a wild monkey, picking on  Sampy, etc.

The rain was heavy throughout the night (I woke up a few times and listened to it).   Mommy was up then too.   We hope and pray that the basement didn't flood again.

Anyway, as of now the rain has stopped and all of us hope it stays stopped.   Who wants to trick or treat on a rainy Halloween?

Well, I'm going to get my brothers and sis together to do one of Bailey Gray Cloud's sundances (he's the one with the Native American Indian Name).

Got to run.  Stay dry if you live in the Washington metro area!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ . . . .RIVERDANCE!  That's what I did this morning.   Mommy gave me one of those fancy milk jug rings called "Ring Dings" from Calvin's Cat in the Clover shop.   In the meantime, she had "Riverdance" playing on her mewsic player thingy.   I danced and pranced with the Ring Ding and threw it around in time with the mewsic.  I suppose you can say I danced to "Riverdance".

That's a good way to start a Friday too!   Be a Lord of the Dance.  Dancing helps remove stress so they say.   Hint, hint, hint, Mommy!

Anyway, I'm glad it's Friday so Mommy can have a couple days off from that place called "work" that she goes 5 days a week.

Lastly, Halloween is next weekend.   More than likely, Mommy will corrall all of us scaredy cats into her bedroom (or we'll go there on our own).   Sampy likes children so he gets to stay downstairs with Mommy while she hands out the goodies.

I got to run.  Have a pawsome Friday, my Catster friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy calls me the "super dooper pooper scooper" or the "clean up guy" because I cover EVERYCAT's poopies if they fail to do so.  Yep, I scoop mounds of litter to cover up their stinkies!  Obviously, their way of covering up their business (scraping the side of the litterbox itself doesn't get the job done).   I'm the one for the job as I'm a clean freak!

Anyway, enough of that talk . . . .

I now concat my big bro on his DDP today.  CONCATS, SAMPY!  HAVE A PAWSOME DAY IN THE LIMELIGHT!

Well, I'm on my way.  Mommy has to deal with the Monday grind.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a new friend who has been stopping by the house in the past couple of days.  He/she is a long-distance friend.  While I'm inside, my friend is outside sitting in the redbud tree.  Today, he/she sat on the tree's lower branches and peeked in the window at me.  I flipped my tail freneticly and marched with my front paws.   My head and neck were rigid and pointed in the direction of my friend as if I were a "pointer" type doggie.

I asked Mommy what kind of breed this cat was as it had a tail just like Bail does.    She informed me that my new friend wasn't a cat but a squirrel.   She went on to say that squirrels are high-class mousies as they live in trees, eat nuts, and have bushy tails.

Anyway, this so-called squirrel kept me captivated for a long time.   I think he/she was taunting me to come outside and have some fun.  I swear it looked right at me while it munched on an acorn.   My buddy jumped off the tree, went into the neighbor's yard, got another acorn, hopped onto the wooden fence, ate the acorn, and was back in the redbud tree looking back at me.

I know, if  Mommy were to let me outside I would have ran after that squirrel.   I don't think I could catch it though as squirrels are pretty fast.   Sampy's the one who's tried and never caught one yet.

Anyway, I'm back to the window to see what my high-class mousie buddy is up to now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ On rainy weekends, I'm a good kitty.  I let Mommy and everycat sleep later than usual.  I woke up my usual 5:30 a.m. and looked out the window for a bit.  It was cold & yucky so I went back to sleep instead of running around like a wild monkey.  

When Mommy woke up, it was 7:45 a.m.!   She found me laying at her waist and Merl at her feet.  

I'm up now so I'd like my breakfast!   

Today will be a good day for us to VOTE!   Of course, more pics of us will be added on this weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Early this morning I found a couple more gifts and kind concats:

1.   MUPPET - cool black cat;
2.   RILEY - yummy steak.

Thank you so much, my pawsome friends!

Also, at dinner time yesterday, Mommy's knee locked up on her while she was putting the salmon and asparagus on her plate.  She cried as the pain was intense.  My bros ran away and I was the one who came to her.   I cried with her!   I walked up to her while she rubbed her knee and told me how much it hurt.    She thanked me for being so caring and that I was her nurse!  She then gave me some salmon.

After a half hour, she was able to hobble out of the kitchen to the dining room where she could sit down and exercise her knee.  It then went back into place.

Mommy can't wait until she turns 65  so she can get her knee fixed through Medicare.   The healthcare system we have now is the reason why she can't get her knee fixed.    You know, the preexisting condition mess.  Plus the same knee was aggraved by the March 6, 2009 auto accident she was in.  Also, her case for that is still pending as she's still treating.

Lastly, they're still waiting for the healthcare reform  bill to be passed so maybe that'll happen before she turns 65!   We're crossing our paws while she crosses her fingers that something good will happen for America's healthcare system.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ By now I suppose everycat has seen my three new pics.  In one of them I was yawning.  Nope, I wasn't singing.   When I yawn, I mean it!  Last year Mommy caught one of my wide mouthed yawns and that one isn't half as funny as this one.   Also, I had on the halloween bat collar.

Lastly, I thank EDGAR for his kind comment on my DDP yesterday.

Other than that, it's very cold tonight!   We're all going to pile up on Mommy's bed, of course.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was excited  this morning even before the computer was turned on.  I was running up and down the stairs like crazy!  Yesterday I thought I may get DDP today, and I did!   I'm an ESP (extra special puddytat).

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ About an hour after that horrible nail trim, I had a photo shoot.  I LOVE photo shoots as I LOVE getting my pic taken.  I will pose in the most wildest positions and make the silliest faces.   Mommy surely captured these and they'll be added some time this weekend.

I did a big YAWN (not planned), rolled on my back with my feet up in the air, and had a mouthful of feathers.   I also wore the Halloween bat tie for all to see.

Lastly, I stole a bunch of Cammie Rose's dry food this morning.   She wasn't a happy camper about this and growled and swung at me.

Well, that's my Saturday in a nutshell.   Have a pawsome night!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy fed Merl and me first as the others were upstairs sleeping late.

I didn't clean my plate as I usually do.  Mommy called Sampy and then Bailey, and guess who answered?  ME!!  

Mommy asked if I had an identity crisis this morning.  Nope, I was just in the mood for more food and it wasn't the chicken kind she gave me.  I was hoping to get something different . . .  I even begged for Bail's food when Mommy walked by me with his dish.

Also, another reason is that cats respond to the "ee" sound in names.    Call any name ending in  "ee" and I respond with loads of BREEPS!
Sampee, Bailee, Landee, Merlee, and Cammee!

Have a nice day, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm just dropping off a short note.   It's going to be nice blankie weather tonight.  I'm going to get first dibs behind Mommy's knees as soon as she gets into bed.

Last night Sampy was there first and I shooed him away.   He didn't like that.   Mommy keeps saying to us "why fight over who sleeps behind her knees?  The bed is big enough for all of us, and behind her knees isn't the only warm spot to sleep.  It's nice and warm around her shoulders  and tummy."

Anyway, the race is on to see which cat gets to sleep behind her knees tonight.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I simply love my blue background with two darker blue kitties (or are they black?) and the pumpkins!   Way Cool!  Our halloween stuff is almost done.   We still need mewsic, though.   She pawmised that'll be done later in the week.

As to today, it's a lazy one for us kitties.   Many windows are open and we've been laying around on Mommy's bed or in the cat trees (all that are in nice sunny spots).   

We had a couple of nice warm days in a row.   I wonder when it'll change over again.  I hope not too soon.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well first of all, Cammie Rose was brought back inside tonight because the weather people called for colder temps.  Get out the thicker blankies, Mommy!

Anyway, after she put Cam into her room and set up her food station, she closed the door (but not tight enough)   I pawed at it several times while breeping loudly.   I then pressed my muzzle against the door crack and it opened.  WOWZA, I CAN OPEN DOORS!   I walked into the room and was confronted by a growling and hissing Cam while I made a move on her food dish.   

Mommy followed me into the room and said, "it's obvious  she doesn't want to talk to you, Landy."  

She carried me out, then closed the door all the way so I couldn't open it next time.

Oh well, I'll go in there in the morning when Mommy does.  Cam usually doesn't have a tortitude when she first wakes up in the morning.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, everycat!   I had a nice time on my birthday yesterday.  I got a bunch of nice gifts and found a few more this morning:

1.   EDGAR & EMILY FELICITY - cool hat;
2.   HONDO & Family - a yummy pink frosted cupcake;
3.   DAISY & Family - a cool frisbee.

Thanks so much my pawsome friends!

Also, Mommy turned off the computer at 4:00 p.m. yesterday 'cause she had a slight headache and wanted to lay down in the living room.  She put on a movie.

When she's on the couch, I want to lay on her tummy.  This time Merl beat me there and let out a loud "MEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW" which means, "no way, I was here first.  Lay at Mommy's knees".  If Sampy was there first, he'd let me take the spot on Mommy's tummy as I'll wrestle him for it.  With Merl, I can't 'cause he's meaner.

Anyway, it's cooler today.  That means I'll snuggle with Bail.

Later  & have a nice Monday,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a vet visit today and meowing out loud is exactly what I did on the way there, while there, and on the way back.

I'll start from the beginning:

As soon as I was put in the car and the car backed up, I was singing.  I even sang to Mommy's ilyAIMY CD!  

When I got to the vet's, I sang until the tech tried to take me out of my carrier.   I didn't want to come out!   Mommy had to tip it forward and the tech had to pull me out.   This ticked me off!   She put me onto the baby scale, and I decided to Riverdance on it!   I wouldn't stand still for quite some time.  Then when I did for a brief second, the scale settled at 10 lbs 8 oz!   YIKES, I'm a lightweight kitty!  I have to somehow bulk up so I don't  get intimitated by the Panther Boy!

And next came the most humiliating and scary thing . . . my temperature was taken.  The tech had the most difficult time with me.  I wouldn't sit still . . . I was writhing all over the examining table.  Mommy was trying to be funny, and said to the tech, "Just call him Mr. Wiggles".   THAT WAS NOT FUNNY, MOMMY & YOU'LL GET YOURS SOONER OR LATER!!

And then the vet came in, a cute young human male who could have been no more than 25 years old.   He looked in my ears and mouth and believe me, I wiggled some more.   He did manage to pry open my mouth and get a flash of my nice pearly whites.   He said those were nice!
 
And then came the rabies shot which the vet needed the tech to help hold me down.   

And finally, the nightmare was over with.  I was put back into my carrier and carried out into the lobby where I saw a big fluffy black kitty (a girl) on a leash.  She was beautiful!   I overheard Mommy talking to the owner who said the girl kitty was 12 years old and her name was "Onyx".   Onyx was not a happy camper either and was growling and in fact hissed at me when she peeked into my carrier as I was leaving.

On the way home, I could not control myself.  I had to go and boy oh boy, did I!   I loaded up the carrier with pee-pee and one smelly soft poopie.   I cried all the way home and tried my best to bury it with the towel inside the carrier.

Mommy said she smelled what I did and said it was okay.  If you have to go, you have to go.  

When I got home, I ran to my litterbox (in fact three more times) to finish off my poopie business.   I had an upset tummy because I got very nervous at the vet's.

I'm fine now and hope I don't have to go to that place in quite some time.   Mommy informed me that I have a distemper shot due in November and in fact booked it already.   BUMMER!!!!

Until then I'm not going to worry about it.  

Also, and purrhaps the most important, I'm the one who has been drinking out of the Drinkwell.   Last night, I showed Mommy by taking five long laps of the cool, refreshing water.  She also called me a good boy and told me to teach my brothers how to use the thing if they haven't learned by now.

Lastly, after Mommy and I had been home for a bit, she cleaned up the Drinkwell and put new water in it.   It's to be cleaned every Saturday.  That way,  she has more free time to do so.

Well, that's my adventure to the day.  I hope everycat is enjoying their weekend.

Purrs & Breeps,

Landy

OMC AGAIN!   I can't believe I forgot to mention tomorrow is my 2nd birthday!  YIKES!   My birthday is based on September 27, 2008 which is the day I moved in with Mommy and joined Catster.  At that time, the vet told her I was one year old.  Anyway, I'm excited now and not sulking around about the vet visit earlier.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yikes & OMC!  I got a vet appointment tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.

Be advised I'm not sick.   I just need a distemper shot.  Still, I don't like going to the vet.  Last year, the vet tried to cuddle me, and I almost freaked!

I don't care to be held and/or cuddled at the same time.  I am a lap cat, though or a lay beside you on the bed type.

Anyway, I look forward to my dinner tonight!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night Mommy opened a new jug of milk.  This is my favorite time as she always gives me the plastic tear off ring.   She threw the ring to me.  I then brought it back to her again and again.  Lastly, I gave up that game and batted it around on the kitchen floor.  I made sure  I didn't kick it under the stove or fridge as my game would have ended right then.

When Mommy headed back upstairs to go to bed, I followed her with the ring in my mouth.   She said I looked like a baby with a pacifier.

Anyway, I went into the bathroom and took my toy to the bathtub.  There I bonked it around and left it there until the next morning.

Mommy tells me that anything that's not a toy is a toy to me.   I even like to play with human food if it falls to the floor.  Blueberries are my favorite as they roll nicely on the kitchen floor.  I also love wadded up grocery receipts.

Well, I hope I didn't bore everycat with my silly games.

Purrs & Breeps to all.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wanted to be bad today:

1.    Ran around inside the house like a wild monkey most of the day;
2.    Chased and wrestled Sampy;
3.    Stole Mommy's camera off the dining room table and dragged it
        by the camera bag strap into the kitchen;
4.    Provoked Merl (this one ended up in him jumping, bopping and
        chasing me under the living room chair.

I guess Merl put me into my place for the first  time.  I started this one by walking up to him and he went off on me.   He let out this high-pitched "mew" and was instantly on me, bunny kicking my head, and chasing me when I broke from his grip.

He's STRONG and several pounds heavier.  He's close to 15 lbs, in fact.   I'm around 12 lbs.

Anyway, that's about it.   Of course, I'm always purring for Sampy.

I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Drinkwell has been running since Thursday, and Mommy hasn't seen any of us drink from it yet.   She notices the water level went down a tad so maybe somecat took a couple  laps.   Mommy's not sure who it was.

All I know is that I've walked up to the thing this afternoon, stuck my nose right into the stream of water and got a nosefull.  I made a snuffing noise and backed away.   Mommy said I'm  supposed to stick my tonue in there and not my nose!   Well, how was I supposed to know?  I quess I won't learn to use this thing nor will my brothers (unless  one of them already did).   Sampy would be the mostly  likely one to drink from it as he's the bravest of all.

I'd like to know how long it takes cats to trust the Drinkwell.  It's been three whole days now.

Lastly, I'm glad Sampy's diagnosis is a bit better than originally thought.   Still he's on meds as his heart isn't normal.   I suppose that's why he doesn't want me to get too rough with him.  When he's had enough of my antics (ninja stuff and chasing him) he hisses and swings at me.

At that time, Mommy tries to break us up by a little squirt of water on my backside.   She doesn't want me to over exert Sampy.

Anyway, I send my purrs to Sampy.

Have a pawsome day, my Catster friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My pirate name is:  Bruno the Infected.   That's a pretty scary name for a pirate!   Bruno sounds like a BIG and NASTY pirate dude.  When you add "the Infected" to it, it's really scary.

Infected!   YIKES!   Infected with what?   Leprosy like those on the ghost ship in the movie, "The Fog".   I should hope not!

Mommy thinks I'm infected with the need to steal her jewelery and hair scrunchies, and my bros food; or jump on poor Sampy all the time.  Now those are traits of a pirate:  stealing and fighting!

Still, I like the name:  "Lootin' Landy".

Anyway, for a change of subject:  I thank SAMOA for her cool comments about my autumn page and my beautiful eyes in one of my new pics.   WOWZA!   I wonder if she's trying to flirt with me?

Well, that's about it.   Mommy wants to finish watching "America's Got Talent".

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, it's me!   Sorry for not writing in a couple of days.  You know how it gets around here!   Mommy ran out of food for herself and us and had to go shopping again today.

Yesterday, she didn't feel like going anywhere because she ached all over from too much walking at the folk festival on Sunday.   She hasn't walked that much in a long, long time.

Anyway, late last night, she took a few pics of each of us guys.   Bail stuck his tongue out all the way as he was licking his tummy.   I looked slanty-eyed as I was trying to sleep when she wanted to take my pic.  Merl and Sampy posed pretty good.  She also, got a shot of Merl's "poodle paws" finally.

Also, yesterday, we got new backgrounds and our autumn-themed pics moved forward.  We also got a little graphic of some leaves and acorns.  Mommy says she's having a hard time finding any autumn graphics anywhere except for Photobucket and there's not too many of those.  She found a few more and will add them later.  If anycat knows of a place besides the ones mentioned in Pawsome Pages, let me know.  We looked at all those and found nothing for autumn except Halloween and that's too early.

Lastly, it rained a little bit about an hour ago.  It stopped now. 

Well, that's about it.   It's dinner time!   WOO-HOO!!!!

		<description>Mommy's got a new name for me:  &quot;Itchy- Scratchy&quot; as I wouldn't stop scratching and licking myself   ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy's got a new name for me:  "Itchy- Scratchy" as I wouldn't stop scratching and licking myself  last night.  In fact, I was up all night because of this and I kept Mommy up too.   Also,  the neighbor college boys throwing one their loud pawties 'till 3:30 a.m. added insult to injury!

It began this way.  Mommy found a flea on me so she put on some Frontline.  Apparently that stuff made me itch even more than the flea itself.    My skin itched like I had 100 fleas dancing on my back, legs and ears.   I drove Mommy nuts and she had to push me off the bed and get out the flea comb.   She combed and combed and combed, and found NO FLEAS!  NADA!   I liked her combing me as it soothed the itchies better than my claws and tongue together.   The whole time she did this, I PURRED NON STOP.

Afterward, I got back into bed and laid my head upon hers (nose into ear) and PURRED her to sleep.  This was a token of my appreciation.

MOMMY'S NOTE:   I think Landy had an alergic reaction to Frontline.  Advantage didn't do that to him.   Merl and Bail are having no problems with Frontline.   As to Sampy, he has the itchies all the time.   He's just that way.   As to Cam, she never had problems with either.

BACK TO ME:  Finally, most of the itchies have subsided.  I'm able to sleep now.   Mommy said she read somewhere that Oriental/Siamese get the itchies a lot.  I don't know if that's true.   She said Yingy did it too.  I never got to meet Yingy so I don't know about that.

Anyway, I hope all my Catster friends are having a pawsome weekend.

Purrs & Breeps,

Landy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today I'm DDP!   Thank you Caster for honor of  being in the limelight today!   I know Sampy's proud of me!   So's Mommy and the rest of my family.

I thank my friends for their lovely gifts, comments and pmails as follows:

1.    FIDO & Family - yummy grape drink;
2.    TATE & TONKA - purrty red rosette;
3.     HOOCH & Family - pirate flag;
4.     SAMOA & Family - pirate flag;
5.     GLEEK - cool comment;
6.     GERTRUDE SKULLCRACK a/k/a ROCKY ANN - cool comment;
7.    EMILY FELICITY & Family - cool comment; and
8.    NIKITA & Family - pirate flag.

Also, Mommy was able to get onto imikimi via FF and got the same type of pirate pic of me as my bros.   The only thing is, it didn't let Mommy save it, but let her email it to herself.  Once the email came back, she saved it to her pictures, opened it up and got a crazy note,"image not available"   BUMMER.   Mommy's going to print it out in a few minutes, scan it to Image Zone, work with it in case the pixels are too large, then she's going to load it onto Catster.   These programs think they can stop you because of their silly error messages.   Mommy found another route.   She also did a pic of Lady Gaga with her face for Halloween.   She's called "Lady Baba"  That ought to be a riot!   That one may be put on FB for a preview of stuff to come.

Yesterday, got scary for us kitties as Mommy's friend came over with her grandsons aged 10 and 6.   All of us got scared except for Sampy.    Sampy told me he let the little human boys pet him.   I let them look at me run in circles trying to make a bee-line to the upstairs and the nearest bed so I could hide under it with Bail and Merl.

As to this morning, it's another nice one after a last  night's late shower.   The tweeties are tweeting and I'm hungry (what else is new!).

Anyway, I'm going to lay around and play.   Oh yes, one of the young human boys left a toy here (a ball with a feather attached to it).   I found it and added it to my collection.   FINDERS KEEPERS, I say.
It looked like a cat toy to me.   Maybe they purposely left it for us kitties.  

Got to run.  Purrs & Breeps to everycat and enjoy your Labor Day.

Landy

P.S.   My pirate pic is now here!  It worked!  Woo-Hoo!
P.P.S   Catster fleas are infesting the pawmail today.  We can't retrieve
              our latest pawmail.  The stupid "page not found" message    
              appears.  Tried it on IE and FF, to no avail.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I send my concats to my big bro, Sampy for his DDP today.  WOO-HOO!

Secondy, I've been told that they have a "Talk like a Pirate Day" on September 19th.   Last year I hadn't moved in so I didn't get a pirate pic done for me.

Mommy was trying this place called Imikimi (where she got my bros' pics) and she kept getting error messages when she used IE.  She's going to try FF later on today to see if that works.  If not, I'd like to know if somecat cat design me a pirate pic!   I'd make a purrfect pirate as I love to STEAL stuff!

Purrs to everycat on this pawsome Labor Day weekend.   I'm having a purrfect time laying around and watching the birdies from my window perch and/or the big chair in the kitchen.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm so happy that Merl is back home.  Boy, did I ever miss him!

As soon as he came in the door, I was the first to walk up to greet him and follow him all around.  

This morning, he and I sat side-by-side on the fleece windowsill perch and watched the birdies in the redbud tree.   

Anyway, I'm glad he's back and pray he doesn't have any relapses.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since the vet said there are problems with Sampy's heart, Mommy has been treating him like a baby!  OMC!  She doesn't want me to play rough with him nor chase him anymore.   She's been encouraging Merl to play with me so I would leave Sampy alone.   

I'll tell you, I bopped Merl on top of his forehead last night to instigate something.  I told him "tag, you're it," and he looked at me like I had a screw loose.   Mommy wanted him to return the bop.  You see, Merl's no fun!  Sure, he's only a year older than I.  All he wants to do is lay around and eat Greenies all day.   He basically avoides me.   I can't figure out why.  MAYBE IT'S MY BREATH!!

As to Bail, he'll crouch down and spring on me, but never lands on top.   Then he walks away.   He's a good bird watching and cuddle buddy, though.

That leaves Mommy.   She has to play with me more so I don't take it all out on Sampy.

Hopefully that'll work.   I know Sampy doesn't like me jumping him, etc.   I can't help it as he's the only kitty who returns the bunny kicks and tumbles.

Anyway, I'm giving Sampy my purrs & prayers too.  I want my playmate to be able to keep up with me!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I tried a new thing.  ANOTHER GAME, OF COURSE!

This time I jumped into the bathtub (no water, of course).  Then Mommy came along and threw in an empty bathroom tissue roll!   I had the time of my life batting that silly thing around in the tub.  She got a good laugh out of this!

Also, this morning I went back into the tub and knocked over the bathmat, shampoo bottle, and a bottle of body wash.  I love playing in the tub every morning!

Got to run.

I hope everycat is having a pawsome Tuesday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, Mommy she decided to vacuum the house.  On a nice day like this!  That didn't make any sense!

After that,  she ate lunch which consisted of leftover chicken and veggies.  She got tired soon after that and decided not to go anywhere.

Instead, she decided on a shoes free day as all shoes kill her feet.  She wanted to see if her feet would be pain free.   Well, she loved it.   Her feet didn't have any of those horrible pains like she usually has to deal with almost every day.

Also, we had many windows open and watched a movie.   She put on the remake of "The Fog" and there were many  knocking on doors parts in it.  On the first knock, both Merl and I flew up the stairs.  Merl  growled like he does when there's really a knock at our door.   Ooooops the Los Bravos faultered this time by the knocking noise in a scary movie.   My bro and I thought someone was knocking at our door.   It had Mommy going too when she saw us fly by.   She got up from the couch and saw nobody at the door.  It was only the movie.
REPEAT TO YOURSELF, 'IT'S ONLY A MOVIE"

So, today a scary movie scared us wherein the vacuum cleaner didn't.
Go figure!

Well, that's my tale for the day, everycat.  I hope your weekends were pawsome!

Purrs & Breeps

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Somecat knocked over the digital control box again.  Mommy found it laying on the floor behind the TV.   She knew it was me as I'm the only one who likes to jump up there and walk across the DVD player .  

She told me that I was naughty, and I looked at her like, "Who me?"  I'm not admitting to it even though she believes I'm the culprit.  She says I'm bad to the bone.  I think I'm good and having a good time.  

Lastly, she wonders why I pick on the two older cats and don't play too much with Bail or Merl who are closer to my age.  

Does anycat know why this happens?

I see it like this:    Sampy is part Siamese and we have something in common.  As to Cammie Rose, she's a girl and I like to pick on girls  Also, I met these two first so I'm more comfortable around them. 

Oh well, I'm starting to yawn after writing a boring blog.  I think I'll take a nap.

Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Early this morning (8:04 a.m.) to be exact, I started another exercise routine.   While I was doing so, I let out a few MEOWPS.   Mommy never heard me say "MEOWP"!   It's not a breep nor a meow, but a meowp.  It wasn't a high-pitched trill either.

What it means is "LOOK OUT HERE I COME!"

And boy did my brothers clear the way when I went into my tailspin around the house.   I next jumped upon the fireplace mantle, and Mommy almost had a stroke.   She doesn't want any of us kitties jumping onto the mantle as we could knock down angel figurines or Bail's cat show trophy.  None of us ever went up there (at least while Mommy was looking).   She believes around Christmas time somecat did because there were Christmas cards on the floor when she got home from work.  I'm not telling who did that!

Anyway, she clapped her hands and said in her loud growling voice "LANDY, GET DOWN!!!!"  I decided to comply with her demands and jumped down.

After that jump back down, I felt my exercise routine was over for the time being.  More than likely, I will continue it tomorrow morning.

Lastly, we have a late start tonight as there was a T-storm.  Yep, it was one with only a few drops of rain and a lot of thunder.  We wanted the rain as we need that to cool it down.

So that's about it from me for today.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I will never understand lady cats!  Cammie Rose, I'm mainly talking about.  I only want to be her friend.  She only lets me sniff her nose-to-nose one time and she's gets a catitude or tortitude after that.  Sure, I placed my front leg around her back.  That's the way I give hugs.  Obviously, she thought I wanted to wrestle.

And, Mommy stopped it from advancing any farther because Cam was growling.

Oh well, I suppose I have to only resort to nose-to-note kisses with Cam.

That's about it except we have the windows closed and the AC on.  I don't like days like this as I can't sit in the windows and watch the birdies and my hedgehog buddy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Cammie Rose and I got new pics added to our pages early this morning.  Enjoy!

Also,  Bail has let me use the big green cat tree for the whole summer (so far).   He prefers the windowsill itself.

As to my weekend, I've been my usual hyper self early in the mornings i.e. picking on Sampy and running across Mommy's bed.  At least I haven't run across her hand and made it bleed lately.  She wasn't a happy camper about that event.

Since then she sleeps toward the wall end of the bed.  That way it gives me more bed space as a  runway and not her hand.

Well, it's back to my green cat tree for my Sunday afternoon nap.

Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA, the hedgehog critter was grazing the neighbor's backyard again yesterday evening.  You see, they have a nicer lawn than we do so the critter goes for it.

Also, I found a new toy (which is not a toy).  It's the bathmat.  I love trying to dislodge these thingys called "suction cups" with my mouth.  Unfortunately, I can't remove them so I give up.   IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!

I wonder if there are any of those things laying around loose that I could use as hocky pucks!  I think it would be great fun batting them under the stove or 'fridge.

Anyway, I hope all cats are having an easier time getting onto our pages since we took out the shoutboxes.  

Purrs & Breeps for a pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday, I was the official communi-CAT-or with SAMOA as my page was easy to get to.  Poor Cammie Rose had DDP yesterday, and a lot of her friends couldn't drop by because of some glitch going on with her page.   Besides her page, Sampy's, Bail's and Merl's pages were and still are, not up to par.   HQ hasn't responded to Mommy's email of yesterday.  Hopefully, they'll answer today and try to fix the problem.

We believe it's another flea infestation.  Get out the flea powder, guys!!

Anyway, we're purring for this to be fixed.  We've lost a lot of views because of these fleas.  

As to my day, I've been picking on Sampy and Cammie Rose.  I love to give the olde furts a hard time!!  Hehehe!!!

Later, my friends

Secondly, I concat Cammie Rose on her DDP today.  Of course, I came into her room this morning and purrsonally concated her.  She growled and hissed in return.   Can you believe that!  She can't accept a compliment from her own brother!!!

Oh well, I'll have to deal with it.  She must've had one of those "tortitudes" again.

Lastly, bear with us on our S-L-O-W pages.  I think we have the Catster flease.  HQ's been notified of this.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ After dinner, I got onto the big chair and peeked out the kitchen window at something.   Mommy came to the window as she was curious to see what I was looking at.

I told her I saw a LARGE mousie grazing the neighbor's back lawn.   Bigger than a squirrel, in fact!   It was as big as me and low to the ground!

She told me that it wasn't a mousie.  It was a hedgehog.  And that this was the first time she's seen one this close to our house.

Anyway, I continued watching the critter until it was done chowing down on the neighbor's lawn.  When it had left, and I came into the living room while Mommy finished watching a movie.

That's it from me.  I just wanted everycat to know about the hedgehog.

I hope everycat had a pawsome weekend.  I know I did!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was run, run, running, bouncing back and forth from bed to end table, windows, bathtub, stairs and breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping the whole time.   My brothers clear the way when I get into these hyper flinging myself around moods.   They don't want to be in the way of this kind of traffic.  Yep, I can be like fast traffic and I'm only one kitty!

Finally, I slowed down after that vigorous workout.  All this is because it's very cool this morning; almost early fall or spring-like.

I LOVE IT!!!

I hope everycat has a pawsome day today!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bail and I got into a short wrestling/game of chase before our dinner.  Bail stood beside me and jumped (gently) on top of me.  I bunny kicked him and we broke loose.   I ran down the stairs and he followed me.  Soon thereafter, we ran back upstairs.  I went into the master bedroom and he into the hallway.   I suppose he couldn't find me.  See, Bail and I don't fight.   We play like kittens from the same litter.  We're not rough, and fur doesn't fly when we tumble lightly.  There is no screeching, growling or hissing.  In other words, we don't provoke each other.   Bail and I are tight!

I'm the only one who Bail cuddles with and visa versa (except me with Mommy).  Sampy and Merl are lone sleepers unless it's very cold.

Anyway, we had leftover chicken tonight.   Chicken always puts a nice touch to the end of the day!

Well, I'm the spokescat for tonight.   Time is running out again.  Why  does the night go by so fast?

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This evening, we were in the dining room waiting for our dinner.  Bail stared at me and walked slowly in my direction.   What can I say?   I got spooked.  I arched my back and fluffed out my tail (it looked like a raccoon).  Both of us s-l-o-w-l-y walked toward each other then sniffed noses.  Nothing else happened.

Mommy asked what was wrong with me.

All I know is Bail looked extra BIG with all that fur.  I didn't recognize him for a moment so I decided to "fluff up" a bit like a Halloween kitty.

Everything is fine.  Bail and I never, ever get into altercations.  We're good buddies.  

Anyway, I best be going now.  I'm tired.   Goodnight, my furiends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A little bit after Sampy and Mommy woke up, she opened the computer room door.  Of course, an open door to me is an invitation to COME ON IN!   I did so, and I didn't expect this:  A NAIL TRIM!

OMC!   I work up for that!!!  BUMMER!   I struggled and made a couple pulls in Mommy's jeans.   She's glad it wasn't her flesh!

Anyway, I'm minus the tips of my nails until they grow back.  I hate nail trims as bad as Bail does.   

Next, Merl got his trimmed and he cried like a baby.   He's no panther boy when it comes to nail trims!

That's about it.   I'm being good now while Mommy types this for me
It's back to sleep right on the floor this time.  I'm too tired to jump back into the cat tree.   It's like Sampy says,  it's one of those days when you want to sleep more than usual.    

YAWWWWWWWWWWN!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I got two comments on my diary last night about my paw accident; one from OLIVER in his funny way of talking; and NEWMAN.   Both agree that kitties have a special way of meowing when we get little boo-boo's.  We do this to get our Mom's attention so we can get extra loves and kissies!   I believe human babies do the same thing!  Okay, okay, okay!   I did overdo it.   My paw is fine.  In fact, five minutes after the accident, I was jumping on tables and counters as if nothing had ever happened!

Today, I'm running around again like a wildcat, like a leaping lemur!  I even jumped Sampy again!

So that's it all in a nutshell.  I'm fine!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a habit of hanging around the refrigerator door whenever Mommy opens it.  I want to stick my paws under the bottom to see if I can pull out toys/milk jug rings that may be there.   Whenever she sees me do this, she shoos me away.

This time, I decided to poke my right front paw at the hinge portion of the 'fridge door while it was open.  Of course, Mommy didn't see me, and shut the door on my paw.   I yelled a loud MEOOOOOOOOOOOW! When she opened the door, I backed up and limped.  She picked me up, and kissed my boo-boo paw.  She cried and said she was so sorry.

Anyway, I'm fine.  I was back to normal after she kissed my paw.  I believe she got one of my toes and not the whole paw.

Mommy hopes I remember to keep my paws away from dangerous spots from now on.

I got to go now as it's getting late.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Loose catnip!   My brothers Merl and Sampy simply go bonkers over the herb and chase Mommy around when she has an open bag of the stuff.  Bail is like me, he only likes catnip in toys, and Cammie Rose likes a little taste every now and then.

Mommy sprinkled a little bit of nip on me while I was laying in the cat tree.   I took off and jumped upon the dining room table to get away from the stuff.  Then she took a little pinch of it and put some in my mouth!  I said YUCKY and kept sticking my tongue out to dislodge the awful crunchy stuff.

Surprisingly, I didn't get wired like my brothers.  I laid on top of the cat castle and was calm.   Yep, this stuff has a purradoxyl affect on me.   I don't get wired as I'm normally wired.   It slows me down.   I felt like an old man cat for a few minutes!

Point blank, I don't like loose catnip.  If it's in a toy where I can sniff and lick, it's fine.   Then I get really buzzed.

I don't want any more loose catnip ever again!  I'm normally high!  I'll always say "JUST SAY NO" to loose catnip!

That's my blog on catnip.   My brothers would become catnip heads if Mommy left the stuff out in the open where they could help themselves.   

Anyway, I'm going to take a late morning nap.

Have a nice weekend, my Catster friends

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm glad it's Friday too.   It seemed like forever getting here!

Anyway, Mommy let me explore a bit in the computer room.   She usually doesn't let me do this  much as I climb all over the dressers and knock stuff down.   She gets uptight when I do this.  I almost jumped up top of the wardrobe thingy and she stopped me before I could get up there.

To distract me from causing any trouble, she brought out a toy for me to play with.  It was some kind of critter on a string which looked like it was dancing when Mommy moved it up and down.   Sampy happened to be in the room  and also played with the toy.  I think he was showing off at how hard he could whack the thing!

Other than that, there's nothing else fit to print.  I'm tired and so's Mommy.

Goodnight, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I like to do thrilling things such as stealing stuff and playing with things that are not necessarily toys.   This is what I did this morning:

1.    I stole one of Mommy's dirty socks and carried it to the bottom of
       the stairs;

2.    I tried to hitch a ride on the bottom of Mommy's new long skirt
        as she walked down the stairs.  Unfortunately, she dislodged me
        from the portion of the skirt before I could hop on board;

3.    I reached deep under the bottom of the 'fridge and pulled out
        a blue mousie;

4.    I bopped Merl when he sniffed me (that's taking a risk!).

Anyway, I'm getting tired.   I sleep a lot when Mommy's at work so I can be awake when she comes home!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I really didn't mean to do what I did to Mommy's right hand on Tuesday night.  I really didn't.  I was chasing Sampy up the stairs, he flew into the hallway cat tree to get away from me, and I took a different route across Mommy's bed while she was trying to go to sleep.

She screamed *&^$&@@$* and moaned.  I ran downstairs.  I had no idea what I had done.

Later I found out that I had ran across her right hand and had drawn blood in doing so.  It was quite messy (I won't get anymore graphic than that).   She had to wash two scratches and put bandaids on them.

They're healing nicely today.  Thank the Goddess Bast!

Last night, I toned way down my nighttime antics.  I plan to do the same tonight.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ More playtime for me!   Mommy gave me a milk jug tear-off tab (almost a ring) last night.  Boy, did she make a mistake giving it to me then as I played with it a lot and brought it upstairs when she was ready to go to bed.  I did this so I'd have it nearby to whack around instead of running downstairs.

I went to sleep while she combed some matts out of Bail's underarms.

At 2:30 a.m. I was up again, brought the ring into Mommy's bed, and whacked it around on her legs and feet.   She wasn't too pleased about that and said, "Landy, knock it off", but fell back to sleep before she could take the ring away from me.

It's still rather cool this morning and I started up my playing again around 6:00 a.m.

I simply love to play as everycat knows.  When the weather is cooler, the more I play!  

I hope everycat has a pawsome Tuesday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hey, it's Landy, the youngest and wildest one of the whole furmily!

Yep, I'm the first one up every morning and the last one to go to sleep every night.   I've got more engergy than that "Boom-Boom Bunny"!

I take this time to concat Cammie Rose, the very first cat I met in this pawsome family.   If it weren't for her letting me have some of her leftovers, I probably wouldn't have stopped here at all.  I'm glad she did and how nicely everything turned out.   I get along with all!  Even her (on her terms, that is).

Well, I'm going to keep it short &  sweet.  I think I'll hunt down that milk jug ring I was batting around the other night.

Have a pawsome Saturday, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This evening I found a crinkle ball under the bed in the master bedroom.   I brought it to Mommy, and she threw it into the bathtub.  This is when the excitement took place, I jumped into the tub, batted the ball around several times, put it into my mouth, carried it out of the tub, brought it downstairs and dropped it onto the kitchen floor, I left it for Merl to play with and he didn't want to touch it, I picked it up again with my mouth and dropped it into the water dish, I scooped it out with my mouth, carried it into the dining room, jumped upon the table with the wet ball still in my mouth, dropped it near Merl who was on the table at that time, he still didn't want it,  I picked it up again, and batted it onto the floor,and only then did I get tired of the game until next time.

WHEW, that's one run-on sentence!   This is my way of  putting into words of how how Oriental cats like me love to play.  We play a lot; we make up games with toys that other breeds seldom do.

My brothers watch me closely while I carry on my games.  They are PAWSTRUCK to say the least!

THE'VE NEVER SEEN A PLAYING MACHINE LIKE ME!!

Anyway, it's getting late.  I must go now to invent another game before my bedtime comes.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy got out the red, white, and blue, stars & stripes bandana and put it on me.  I got really excited and ran all through the house yelling, "HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!"  Then I came back up to the master bedroom, ran across the bed, and landed onto the windowsill perch. I laid there and let Mommy take a bunch of pics of me!

I posed really fine for her (four good pics).  Those will be loaded up some time today.

I take this time now to wish all my Caster friends a very happy and safe 4th of July.

Mommy's invited to her friend at work's Mom's house for an all day 4th celebration.   It's going to be fun!  Of course, we kitties will be staying home.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA, my cuddle buddy, Bail got DDP again!  WOO-HOO!  (gee, I wish I knew his secret).

Anyway, this weekend has been a play games with Merl time.  He and I played a combo game of "tag you're it" mixed with "hide & seek".   It was pawsomely fun!

Yesterday, he chased me up and down the stairs and when he caught up to me, he bopped me in the butt.  I then turned around and bopped him on the side, and the chasing continued.   I then hid under the red couch to see if he'd find me.  He surely did, and stuck his head under the dust ruffle wherein I swung both paws at him.   Then the game ended.  Today, the same game was repeated.  It was just as fun!

I love playing games with my brothers!

Anyway, I'm going to let Mommy put on her makeup and get ready to go to her favorate place, the mall.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love looking out the windows in the evening.  It's the best between 8:00 and 8:30.   That's when the lightning bugs are out in full force.  It's so PAWSOME to watch them blinking on and off.   I wanted to go outside and chase them.

While I was watching them, I thought it would be really cool if we could have lightning bug virtual gifts.   It would be sooooooooo cool to see them glowing on everycat's page!!!  

We've heard about the "make a virtual gift contest", but we don't have the saavy to do so in our household.   

Anyway, birds and squirrels are the daytime entertainment.  Lightning bugs a/k/a fireflies are my summer evening entertainment.

Have a pawsome day, my Catster furiends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The mourning doves have vacated the premises (the nest in the redbud tree).   All of us have no idea where they are now.  Purrhaps they have another nest in the big oak tree in the backyard.

Mommy told me that she looked up mourning doves online, and learned these birds make several nests.   I guess you can compare it (on a much smaller scale) to humans who have several houses!

Anyway, us kitties miss seeing these doves, and of course Mommy wanted to see the eggs and/or the babies.

Well, that's about it.  I got to take a nap.  I've been running around way before Mommy woke up at 6:00 a.m.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ YIKES, this mourning dove story has four parts to it already!!!

As of today, the doves have their nest all constructed, and they have vacated the premises.   I can't understand what they are doing!  Do mourning doves build several nests?   We don't know the answer to this one.

Yesterday morning mama dove was in her nest and daddy dove was bringing her twigs to weave into it.  Such a good daddy he is!

We've been periodically checking to see if they have returned, and as of right now, we don't know where they are.  Maybe they moved into the big oak tree because of the rain we had off and on yesterday afternoon and early this morning.

Lastly, I wish everycats' Daddies a happy father's day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOO-HOO, the mourning dove family is back for our entertainment!!  Merl, Mommy and I noticed the Mama dove was on the same branch in the red bud tree as a couple days ago.  Again, Daddy dove came by twice (that we saw) with twigs for her nest.   

Our Mommy said the dove was a "nice Daddy".  Also, we kept on staring while they cooed at each other.

So, they decided to move back into the redbud tree afterall.   I suppose my brothers and I didn't scare them away.

This weekend is going to be fun watching the doves.  In fact, Mommy would like to get some closeup pics and maybe a video of the eggs when they hatch and/or the babies afterwards.   Of course, this is one photo shoot that we'll not take place in.

Got to go now.

Purrs & Breeps to all, my Catster furiends.  Have a purrleasant weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The lady mourning dove was back in the redbud tree this morning, and Bail joined me in the watch.   In fact, Mommy came along too, as she wanted to see what we were looking at.

While she was there, the man dove flew from the trees across the street toward the lady dove.   He had a twig in his beak and placed it underneath her.   Mommy was truly touched by this lovely scene.   She told us that he was helping to  build her a nest.    She told us birdies are to watch and not to eat.  Of course, we were watching 'cause we're cats and birds excite us and if we had a chance we would . . . .

Not too long after that, both doves left the redbud tree and were on the outside silll of the other window.  Merl ran to that window and demanded Mommy to raise the blind.  She did so, and the doves flew off.   Now, look what Merl & Mommy did . . . .

None of us think the doves will be back.   The neighborhood is TOO FULL of CATS!!

I got to run now.  Still we need to get out home computer back on track!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I didn't want my breakfast this morning because I saw a mourning dove sitting on a branch in the redbud tree.  Mommy brought my dish to me, and I only sniffed it and went back to watching the dove.

What else can I say.  I'd rather eat dove than cat food any day!

But, Mommy won't let that happen as she keeps the window screens shut all the time around us kitties.

When she left for work, I was still watching the dove.   She believes I'll stay there until it flies away.  This is my big time adventure for today!

P.S.  I miss our computer too!

I do dairy (only provolone cheese though)  I don't care for cheddar or swiss.

Anyway, it's a nice day today and yes, of course, I woke up Sampy by licking his feet.   I was bored and wanted to play.   He's getting to be a grouchy old man  lately!

Oh well, maybe Mommy ought to get a kitten to keep up with me!

Also, those storms last night surely messed up our computer usage!   BIG TIME BUMMER!

Anyway, I also want Mommy to step on it and change our backgrounds to some palm trees and/or beaches, or people surfing!
I could really go for that!

As to life on the homefront, I'm doing fine.  I fit right in and still, Bail is my best cuddle with and watch birdies buddy.   Sampy is my best wrestle buddy, and Merl is my bop and chase buddy (he usually chases me and we bob each other).

That's about it.   It's a "clouzy" day meaning a cloudy lousy day.  No rain, just cool and cloudy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since tomorrow is June 1st, we are getting ready for our summer decor.

Check out yours truly standing on the beach under some palm trees.   I'm in purradise!  All I need is a Cata Colada!  Also, a new River Cats pic was done.   Still, it's hard to get us blue kitties (Bail and I to show up).   Maybe we need to have on hats and bandanas.

Anyway, enjoy the pics!   

It's a lazy day for all of us . . .  just laying around on Mommy's bed or in the windows.   She ought to take a lesson from us and learn to chill this way instead of trying to do too much on weekends.

I swear she was out most of yesterday, getting the emissions checked on her car, going out for pizza, shopping, and to top it off, an hour's worth of yard work!

YIKES!  LADY, CHILL!!

Anyway, humans never cease to amaze me.   She also wanted to take our pics this morning, and none of us wanted to pose.   I think Bail let her get him twice.  Then she had the audacity to make me wear a black fringed T shirt with a peace sign on it.  I took off, rolled to the floor, and wriggled free of the garment.   I bet  that will teach her a lesson not to make me were a T shirt again!  I don't do clothes or hats only ties and pawty collars!

Well, that's all there's fit to print from me.   I'm going back to the window sill perch to catch some more rays . . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This weekend, our pages are going to be decorated with palm trees and beaches for upcoming summer! 

Mommy made really cool pics of my bros standing under said palm trees.  I can't wait to see what mine will look like!

Also, speaking of palm trees, somebody planted some at the shopping center near where Mommy works.   She said they are about three feet high.  I suppose they'll have to dig them up in the fall and put them in a green house to keep them warm until next spring.  

Lastly, I'm glad it's almost Friday & so's Mommy.  She needs another three day weekend to rest from the busy work week.

Well, that's it.  Purrs & Breeps to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Being that it's Saturday, and Saturday means only one thing to Mommy and that is to SHOP, SHOP, AND SHOP!!!

When she came home, of course, she had more blouses, but of course, that part don't interest us kitties in the least.

This time, she was more considerate and bought us a big bag of dry food and two bags of Feline Greenies (look out here comes, Merl!).

Now, here's the PAWSOME part of my blog!   She pulled out a GIANT jellyfish out of one of the Petsmart bags.   It was  torquoise (sp?? - I can't spell that word no matter how I try!)  and had these, I guess you call them, tentacles made out of crinkled ribbons to look like dripping jelly, and other ones made out of strings.   The creature had a string on the top so Mommy could jiggle it around for us.   I had the most PAWSOME time leaping for it!   So did Sampy!  Bail swung at it, and Merl paid it no mind.

Mommy told me that she has to keep it away from us when she's not around as we may try to eat the ribbons and strings!  This is a strict supervisional toy!

Oh well!   Mommy says she might try to take a picture of it and load it up.   It's really a pawsome toy.   It's one of the many ANIMAL PLANET toys they have at Petsmart.   She almost bought us the shrimp on the stick and decided to get the jellyfish instead.  I'm glad she did!

Well, that's about it from me.   I wish all my Catster friends & families a very happy Memorial Day weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Here's another poem . . . this time it's a parody of the children's one called "Dust".   Mommy says  a lot of Catster Mommies who are of  her peer, may remember "Dust".

A blankie is such a pleasant thing
A soft and fuzzy bed covering
There's room for me to knead and sleep
And I can tunnel very deep
Why doesn't Mommy let the blankie stay
Even if summertime is on its way!

Well, this one took me quite some time on the third and fourth verses.  I suppose all poets run into that hassle!

Well, it's only Thursday and we can't wait until Friday.  We will have Mommy all to ourselves instead of her job.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ BEYOND THE CAT CASTLE WALL

I walked beyond the castle wall
and in there I found a ball
I carried it out and threw it about 
in the air it went and I brought it down
Mommy said I looked like a clown.

I hope you like it.  This is my first attempt at poetry! 

Also, purrlease enjoy my Memorial Day decor!  My sibs also have purrty pawsome ones!

Also, today is a cloudy, off and on rainy day.  What a difference from the mostly sunny, hot one yesterday.

Oh well, got to make the best of it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy got mail today.   When she saw what was in one envelope, her face brightened up and she started cheering.   She said she felt like kissing someone, and since I was the only one there, she kissed me.   Then she kissed the piece of paper that came out of the envelope.  Silly, lady!

I asked her, "what in the world was that all about".  Then she told me that it was a check for $500.00 bucks and it was from the subrogation department of her insurance company.   

I said, "come again?"

She said, "they gave me back my $500.00 deductible"  and "Woo-hoo!

Anyway, cats don't have the need for money.  We're  happy with Mommies and Daddies, food, shelter, and toys.  

Lastly, I had a pawsome time sleeping/sunbathing on the fixed window perch (yes, it's still holding out).   Mommy told me that I was stretched out with my tail and one back leg hanging off the perch, and my head and front legs were in the windowsill itself.  My body and other leg was on the perch.  Of course, she didn't get a picture of my silly sleeping position.

Anyway, that all there is to print.  Have a nice weekend, my furiends!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry for the non-diary lately.  I've been struggling with writer's block.   Oh well, it happens to the best of us!

Everything on Mother's Day went fine.   I hope all my Catster furiends' mommies had a great day too!

Other than that, it's very chilly out.  At least it isn't raining.  We have another warming trend tomorrow.

That's about it from me.  I know Mommy has to stop at Petsmart again as all of us have been gobbling up all the food around here (especially me, the ravenous one!)

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We found out early this morning that our little Raggie furiend, TISKERS, has hypertropic cardiomyopathy. He's a young kitty and will be on a lot of meds to help him live a bit longer.

All of us are PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING & PRAYING and have asked our angel sibs: MAX, ISIS, BENTLEY AND JASMINE BIBETTE to join in. 

Mommy cried when she found out from HOOCH's DDP this morning.

Today, we are having a day of silence and prayers for our young furiend & family.


More PURRR & PRAYERS to TISKERS & his family always,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ How am I to explain such sorrow?  

At 5:00 a.m., Mommy awoke to a LOUD crash.  She saw some kitties go flying.   She got up and turned on the light, and saw that the cover and mattress padding had come off the windowsill perch along with two or three of us:  Me, Merl and Sampy stood side-by-side wondering what in the &&%#$# had happened to our beloved perch.

Mommy investigated the scene of the occurrence and saw that the left side of the perch had come loose and made it tilt downwards.   She saw that the sticky stuff on the velcro strips had mostly worn off.

She pawmissed to buy new velcro stuff to hold the perch back up for us, will also get new foam padding and furminate/wash the fleece cover.

Yes, Mommy will resurrect our windowsill perch!   We're lost without it (especially me) and can't wait until tonight for her to fix it.

Also, she has placed a little cat tree in its place.   The only thing wrong is, it's too LOW!   I guess we have to deal with it until tonight.

		<title>MY CAT SHOW ADVENTURE</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Beginning:

From College Park, MD to Gaithersburg, MD is almost an hour's drive, and because I never rode in the car that long, I barfed in my carrier.

Of couse, Mommy didn't know it until she was at the show and had to get some paper towels to clean the yuck up.  Luckily none of it landed on me!

After Mommy had the cage set up, she put Bail in first so when I entered I would feel more comfortable.   It surely took the edge off!  Still, I wasn't used to all the noise, other meows besides those of Bails and many, many humans doing silly things with their hands and mouths (Mommy calls that cheering and clapping).

The Middle:

When I was first called up into the judging ring cage, I didn't know what to expect.  Bail told me that it would be okay and I wouldn't get hurt.   I'd be handled by the judge and many people would be looking at me and smiling at how cute I was.   Getting Bail's and Mommy's words of encouragement helped take the edge off of this too.

Then later on in one ring, a man took a liking to me.   He was a big dude with a  NIKON camera strapped around his neck.   He  was smiling and did a photo shoot of me.   I stood to attention in my judging cage and meowed non-stop (like a meezer).  I posed my bestest for him.  

MOMMY'S NOTE:  This man was from the Washington Post.   I wouldn't be surprised if Landy's pic showed up in there.   I overheard that the Montgomery version of the Post will be out Thursday with pics from the cat show.   I'm not sure if Landy's pics will be chosen or not.   Also, a lady (I assume from the same newspaper) took some shots of Bail as he was in the judging ring.

BACK TO LANDY:   Well, I hope I get my pic in  the Washington Post Newspaper.  That would be totally PAWSOME!

The End:

I did my best in all three rings, but only was chosen by one.  In said ring, I made the top ten coming in at 9th best cat!   Mommy's proud of me as this was my first show.  She told me that I have lots of potential to be a great show cat.  I didn't hiss or growl, and I didn't scratch or bite the judges.   I wiggled a bit in their arms and wanted to walk off the judging table a couple of times.  But hey, again, this was my first show ever!

I got a purrty blue rosie, and Mommy will take pics me with that soon.   Also, in that ring I won a cool toy which is a cat activity cube (more involved than the ones we have).  This one has feathers and balls attached to it!

Also, we got free-bee catnip toys from Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County.   Mommy also bought us a cool , very different toy.   It's catnip fortune cookies and they come in a real container that carry-out Chinese food comes in.  The cookies are made of tan colored felt and have the little white strip hanging out of them like the real thing.   Of course, there are no fortunes scrolled on them.   Sewed inside, is some kick-tail catnip.

Mommy took several pics of Bail and I with this cool toy.   Thank you so much Mommy!

When we left, we rode home in style in Mommy's new car.  It has AC so we didn't sweat bullets on the way home.

After we got home and settled in, there was a thunderstorm.   Mommy decided to take a nap on the living room couch.   When she woke up, it was 10:30 p.m. .  She looked out the window to see if it was still raining and saw a few flashes of lightening in the distance.

Sooo, there was no computer for the rest of that day.

I'm doing my entry now.   Bail will do his when Mommy gets done from grocery shopping.

Purrs & Breeps,

Landy

P.S.   I thank my pawsome friends EDGAR & EMILY FELICITY & Family for their lovely heart the day before the show and the blue rosette today; and also SAMOA & Family for their blue rosette.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA!   The big shots are here!   Mommy was taking closeup pics of us this weekend.   Mine were the first to be loaded up.  She managed to get a few of Bail and one of Sampy.

The one of my paw and nose is really cool.  I was washing said paw when she took this one.  Unfortunately, my tongue didn't show.  That would have been cool if it did.

Anyway, enjoy my new pics.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, I give my bestest concats to my big sis, Cammie Rose.  If it weren't for her eating outside sometimes, I would have never stopped by to mooch her food.   I would have gone elsewhere, and nobody would have had the pawleasure of meeting me.

Secondly, I have a new word.   Our friend CALVIN makes up words and my brother Sampy has made up one "gackle".  My new word is:
"catten".

I'm a catten.   A catten is a young cat who is a little over a year old and still has the frenetic antics of a kitten.   Cattens bounce all over the house and go non-stop like the Boom-Boom Bunny.

I'm a bundle of energy and love to jump in and out of the bathtub when Mommy gets up in the morning.  Of course, this is when the tub is dry.  I love to play with just about everything and love to steal stuff.  I wake up before the birds and am wired.  I run from Mommy's bedroom to the kitchen and back again for a full hour and a half every morning.  When Mommy finally gets up, I'm ready for a nap.

Yes, I'm a catten.   I became a young cat not too long ago and still act like a kitten.   

I had a pawsome day sitting in open windows.  I think it got close to 80 degrees today.

That's it for now.   Purrs & Breeps to all on this most pawsome Saturday.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Next Saturday is Bail's and my cat show.   This weekend, Mommy has to buy rugs for our cage.  She already has curtains and will have to wash and iron them.

Our claws will be trimmed Thursday night. We will also be bathed.   She's going to use kitty wipes as she knows Bail hates tub and/or sink baths.

I'll tell you, I don't mind going into the tub if it's dry or a little wet.  I don't think I'd go for being washed with water.  I'll ask her to be nice and use the wipes on me too.  It should work great on me as I have less fur and will dry quickly!

Anyway, going to a cat show will be a new experience for me.   I'm excited and scared at the same time.   Bail told me he would show me how to win the judges over.

Well, that's about it for tonight.   It's almost bedtime around here.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish all my Catster furriends & their families a very happy Easter!

Secondly, I found a blueberry that had fallen on the kitchen floor the other day.  Apparently Mommy had forgotten about it.  Anyway, I entertained myself and her with batting the berry around on the kitchen floor.   I got a goal (under the fridge) and was able to retrieve it.   I got a second goal, and was unable to retrieve that one.  Oh well!  There'll be a rotten blueberry under there soon.

This game is one I enjoy playing and think it's just as fun as brussleball.  I wonder if HQ can give us blueberries for spring/summer pressies.  Wouldn't that be cool?

Also, I got a cute little bunny from my snuggle bunny, ANNIE.   I gave her one this morning.   I hope she likes it!

That's it.   I feel a nappy coming on.   Playing blueberry hockey and birdwatching this morning tired me out.

Again, HAPPY EASTER, my Catster furriends!

I asked him if I could touch him to see if the DDP luck would rub off on me.   He let me do so.

Anyway, it's raining this morning.    The good thing is, it won't be raining all day long.   They say it's supposed to clear up by noon.

Also, Mommy's stuck in the house today as the new clothes dryer will be delivered some time between 8:00 a.m. and noon.  They will be calling her soon so we have to get off the computer.

Later.

Instead, I played with Merl and Bail; and believe it or not, we had great fun.  I'm learning that I  don't have to always mess with Sampy.

Lastly, I hope everycat is enjoying my new pics (showing off my tongue) and background of Lake Artemesia with forsythia bush and cherry blossoms.

Mommy tells me there's a few pics of me that weren't added yet.    Those will be loaded tonight.

Well, time to take a nice long nappy.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ No, I'm not going to sing the Moody Blues song entitled "Question" even though it's one of Mommy's favs.

I'm questioning the following:

If an Oriental like me is also known as a Siamese of another color, would I be called a "Meezer" or an "Orie"?

Norwegian Forest Cats are known as "Weegies" and Maine Coons are either "Maines", "Shags" or "Coons".

Tortoiseshell cats are known as "torties", and patched tabbies are called "torbies".  Turkish Vans are called "vans", and Turish Angoras are called "Turks".

I just wonder if I qualify as a "Meezer" or an "Orie".

If anycat knows, purrlease pawmail me.  I'd appreciate it.

Also, I had a pawsome time at Bail's & Sampy's pawty yesterday.   I got drunk on catnip drinks for the first time in my life.   Oooops, I'm still a minor!

Have a nice day, my Catster friends!

Secondly, just as Mommy was ready to head to work, Bail and I knocked over our water cooler.  YIKES!   High tide!  Get out the surfboards!

The upstairs flooded and Mommy had to use two whole towels to mop it up.   Of course, she was a bit late for work.

Oh well . . . 

Again, happy day, Bail

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ LOOSE CATNIP!  What's so great about it?   I can't understand why my brothers all get turned on by this stuff!

We had a catnip pawty after dinner, and I was the only one who (with one sniff of the stuff) ran in the opposite direction.

Merl and Sampy were eating it straight from Mommy's hands, and Bail sniffed and rubbed his face in it.

I'm turned on enough without sniffing and eating loose catnip!  I'll take mine sewed inside a toy, if you please.  That's the only way.

Goodnight everycat

And two for tree
Bailey and me 
Sharing the tree  . . . 

Both of us had fun sitting side by side in the new cat tree.   We watched the tweeties together and took a small cat nap together.  You really have to be bonded when you do this.   None of my other sibs share the cat tree with me.

Mommy says we'll do just fine sharing the benching cage at the cat show coming up on April 25th.  Sharing the cat tree is sound proof of that.

Also, Mommy's still battling those horrid horse flies.   She's got a lot of them destroyed.   She even got so good as to whack them in mid flight.   WOWZA!  It looked like she was playing Badminton using a fly swatter and a fly instead of the raquet and birdie!

Well, I must take a nap now.   You know how those cloudy days go.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm a very considerate kitty in the household, and I'm a firm beliver in helping Mommy whenever I can.

This morning, I helped her with her knee exercises.  You might ask how I did this.  Well . . .

I saw her laying on her bed with her bad leg raised straight up in the air.  Then she moved it up and down a few times.  Each time I saw her do this I could (with my sharp Oriental ears) hear her knee go POP!  

Then next time she had her leg up and was ready to lower it, I placed myself between same and her bed.   I thought this would cushion her knee when she brought it back down to the bed.

Mommy thanked me and said it was okay anyhow.  The knee made more noise than anything, not pain.

So there you go.   I do my best around here.

So, all my friends, have a fun Thursday.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sincer I'm the climber in the family (besides Merl), Mommy decided to put a piece of the Colorado Rockies as my background.  This pic was also taken by Mommy last spring from the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

It's surely a pawsome view!

Anyway, Mommy has two windows open for us; one upstairs and one downstairs.   We're enjoying it while we can as it'll be cold again tomorrow.

I wish this weather would stay warm.  I'm tired of this cold.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, WOO-HOO times two:  Sampy and Bail got DDP on the same day!   HOW COOL IS THAT?

Secondly, Mommy and us kitties knead some helpful advice on how to get rid of tons of horse flies.   They're taking over the windows in the downstairs.   She's been swatting them right and left; and still there's more and more and more.  She told me she was reminded of the movie "Amityville Horror" wherein a window in that house was covered with flies.   She said she was waiting for a voice to say,  'GET OUT".   Of course, that part didn't happen.   Our house isn't possessed.

She thinks the flies are nesting inside the rack that holds the blinds on the windows becasue she's seen some of them come out of that region.   She doesn't want to call  an exterminator as they want big bucks and she doesn't have big bucks.   She's afraid to use Hot Shot or Raid or any of that stuff because of us kitties.

Does anycat's pawrents know of how to wipe out these pests for good.   Swatting gets quite messy and gross.

Also, Merl and I've been helping Mommy with the fly destruction.   Still, she's been doing most of it as there are too many.

Lastly, our spring decorations will be put up some time this weekend.   We're running behind because of Mommy's busy schedule and being tired when she gets home from work.

Purrs & Breeps to everycat.   And a BIG CONCATS again to my two bros!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wish all my Catster furriends, a happy St. Patrick's Day!

When Mommy came home from work, there was another continuation of pulling out stuff from under the fridge and stove.

It's so unbelievable what she found:   more mousies, balls, milk jug rings, and a toy caterpillar.   Some of the mousies were older ones and those were thrown out.

Mommy doesn't understand why we always like to bat out toys under the fridge and stove.   We all wonder how many of our furriends do this.

Well, I'm going to let Cam do her diary.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Bail and I have been entered into the American Feline Idol Cat Show sponsored by Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County, MD.  The show will be on Saturday, April 25, 2009.   I'm not sure where it'll be held until we get the confirmation papers.   Mommy believes it'll be at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds where it has been in the years before I came on board.

I'm excited!   Bail told me it's fun, and if I like being touched by strangers, I'll do great.    Mommy believes I will because she has had company a few times and I didn't run and hide like Merl does.

I'm Merl's replacement for cat shows as he gets too stressed out.   We shall see how I do.   I know I play a lot and Mommy's praying that I don't freeze up and ignore the toys the judges wave in front of me.

I know, I have my odd markings as a plus in my favor (heart-shaped bib and dribbles of white in places).   Oddly-marked cats is one of the factors the judges are looking for along with playfulness and feeling comfortable on the catwalk.

Yep, it's time to strut my stuff for the first time in my life in front of many people and other cats!   It's going to be fun and a challenge because I will also be competing with my brother Bail.  

Purrs also go out to Mommy's guy friend (see Bentley's blog for further details).

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ NEWMAN, I, and our Mommies put our heads together on another variation on the milk jug ring covers.   So far, Newman's Mommy has  made cool covers for them with colorful strips of felt.

I pawmailed Newman the other day with another idea for said rings which is to crochet over them.   It would then look something like those pull rings on window shades.

Well, his Mommy made a few and he loves them!   They'll be mailing me a few to try out!  I'm elected as their toy-tester!  I can't wait!

It's fun to create stuff!   Mommy has to buy her milk elsewhere as the pull tops on Safeway's cartons aren't a complete ring.  They're more of a flat pull off tab, which we love to play with too.  Of course, we don't chew on them; we play hockey and carry them around in search for other goal posts besides the fridge and stove.

In fact, I had one last night and was playing with the thing at 2:00 a.m. in Mommy's bedroom.

Ahhhh, the pawsomeness of playing with a milk jug ring!

Well, I thought maybe he would throw it for me to chase.    I guess he wasn't up to it . . .

Oh well, I suppose Mommy's the best one to play this game with . . .

Lastly, we had a chicken pawty.   That's purrfect any time of the day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There's a band out called "Maroon Five".   I'm talking "Maroon Four", Mommy's new car.   It's a maroon, four door sedan, 2005 Saturn Ion with low mileage.

If you'd mix raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, a kiwi, 1/2 banana, and cranberry juice, you would come up with almost the exact color of Mommy's car.   Very berry, I say.

But they call it maroon.

Anyway, she's all excited.   She has the duplicate key, and they'll deliver the car to her tomorrow.   The car needs to be washed, and have some touch-up work done on its body before they can bring it to her.

Lastly, Mommy took a few pics of me sitting in the green cat tree.  I posed okay except my eyes were shut in a few of them.   I can't help it though as I was tired.

Not that I got one of those yet.   Sampy will do as he ALWAYS licks me.   I guess he thinks I'm Irish!

Also, Ms. Cammie Rose had a photo shoot this morning.  I'll let her tell you about that adventure.

I'm glad Mommy's doing better.   Now all she kneads is a new car and the police report (it wasn't ready on Friday).  From there, other things will have to be done.

Well, I got to go now and sit in the open window Mommy let us have.   It's going to be a pawsome weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm intrigued by the stuff called snow, and there's a lot of it out there today.  We got around 4-5 inches.   They say it should stop some time soon.

Also, before Mommy left for work, she went onto the back porch to get the broom to sweep off her car.  When she brought the broom inside, some snow had fallen onto the kitchen floor.  Of course, I had to check it out.   I sniffed it and could feel the coldness coming from it.  I told her, I'm glad it's snowing outside instead of inside.

Lastly, I saw Mommy take a picture of the snow-covered  furniture on the back porch.  It will be added to our pages if it comes out.

That's it for now.   Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Check out my two new pics!   I love to pose!

Also, Mommy hasn't been feeling well since Sunday.  She has a cold that's taking it's time to go away.  This weekend, she's staying at home and getting a lot of rest.

In fact, she took a two hour nap and Bail and I joined her.  We were her nurses.   Then Sampy came in to join us for a few minutes.  We're trying our best to help Mommy get over this cold.

That's about it.  Mommy wants to lay back down and watch a movie.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I was at it again.   When Mommy put on her gray sweater coat, she looked down and found the tie missing from its loops.   She looked down and saw me dragging the tie across the living room floor and into the dining room.

I only borrowed this for a few minutes.   I thought it was a really cool kitty-teaser.   I couldn't resist it.

Well, that's about it for this fine Friday.  TGIF!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today we're all doing one word titles.   My subject is about the pole lamp in the living room and where it was when Mommy came home from work.

The lamp was laying on its side across a wicker basket of books.   Somecat had obviously knocked it over.  None of us are copping to it either.   

Mommy thinks it was me chasing Sampy or me running on my own.
She knows that I'm a wild child and occassionally run into stuff and knock it over.   

Oh well, accidents happen here to!  

Anyway, I ate my dinner and am ready for a nice long nap . . .

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ You'd never guess what I attempted to boost this morning!  It was Mommy's laundry bag filled with dirty laundry!   I grabbed it by the drawstring and tried my best to drag it across the floor.   I couldn't do it as it was way too heavy.   I should have asked Merl to help me as he's one strong dude!

Also, enjoy my new St. Patrick's scrapbook pic.   A photo shoot of me and the rest of us will take place some time this weekend.  So we're under contruction once again . . . .

Mommy said she woke up 3:30 a.m. and found that she couldn't move her legs.   Merl and I were back-to-back close to her right  leg.  Sampy was laying close to her left leg.  

Yep, it was a three cat night.   Bail rarely joins us as he's warm enough with all that fur!  It has to be in the teens or single digits for him to join in the night time cat pile-up.

Anyway, all of us are up now and awaiting BREAKFAST!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, Merl and I are pretty good living  fly swatters!

I caught a BIG fly before Mommy went to work.   I bopped it right off the back door and it fell to the floor.   As it laid on its back with its wings flapping, I played hockey with it.   I then put my nose to it, and the *&^%$ @!! thing buzzed in my face.  That freaked me out, and I backed off.  

Mommy came to the rescue and picked the fly up with some paper towels.  Of course, it was dead then.   She threw my kill in the trash.

Merl watched me while I caught the fly.  I think he was jealous because I caught the thing first.  He's been trying to get it all morning and didn't have any luck in doing so.

Oh well, there will be more flies around here, guaranteed.

That's about it from me.   I'm tired and think I'll take a nap.

I'm so thankful that I have a Valentine!  ANNIE is so cute!!

Lastly, Mommy was trying to take a few pics of me wearing the XOXO and hearts bandana.  I wanted to play so she didn't get want she wanted.   There is one close up in which my eyes are glowing like green headlights.  Maybe that one will be chosen.

She opened the upstairs hallway window so us kitties could enjoy some warm, fresh air.   OMC, was that ever pawsome!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My stealing stuff continued this morning.   You wouldn't believe what I stole this time!   Mommy was laughing her head off when she saw me run down the stairs with one of her bras (held by a strap) in my mouth.  I then dragged it back up the stairs and left it on the top step.  HEY, I thought it was a nice bunch of strings, that's all!

I love taking her stuff.    Mommy believes I do this because everything's a toy to me and I LOVE toys.   If I can carry it in my mouth or bat it around, it's a toy.

Lastly, Mommy took a few pics of me wearing a red velvet collar with a little heart on it.  This collar is really a scrunchie and only fits my neck comfortably (call me little neck).  I didn't mind wearing it except for when it was first put on me.  

Anyway, those pics will be added this weekend.

Got to run.   Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Some time yesterday, Sampy barfed in one of the dry food dishes.  Mommy knows it was him because she's seen him do this before.

Anyway, she dumped the contents of the bowl into a plastic bag, tied the ends, and set the grossness on the hallway floor.   She cleaned the bowl and put more dry food into it.

Before she could take the bag of barfy food downstairs to throw out, I carried it by its tied ends with my mouth and placed it on Mommy's bedroom floor.

Heheheh! 

Mommy said, "Landy, come back with that!"   She took it downstairs and put in the big trash can.

I know, my stealing stuff has no limits except if it's too heavy.

Well, that's my diary for today.  I wonder how many other kitties out there steal plastic bags full of barf!   I bet I'm one of a kind!

Got to go now.

Purrs & Breeps,

P.S.  Attention:   My newest boost of a few minutes ago, is Mommy's flannel pajama pants with draw string. You got it, I dragged this garment across the floor into her bedroom.   She had it in the hallway ready to put in the dirty clothes hamper.  I couldn't resist taking this opportunity!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!  Last night I tried to steal Mommy's change purse.  You see, it has a little strap on it, and looks like a black beaded kitty's head.   Mommy had it on the dining room table, I jumped up there, grabbed the strap by my mouth, and was ready to make off with it.   BUMMER!  She caught me!

She called me a purse thief.   Now I'm a cat burglar and jewel thief too!
All in all, she knows I'm a young kitty and not a criminal.   I think everything that's not a toy is a toy.   I can't help it!

Today, turned out to be another nice day, just a tad cooler though.   The snow is supposed to come tonight.

We'll see.

Got to go now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was a good boy today because I let Mommy trim my claws.  She had to do it differently as I'd freak out and scratch her if she held me.   

While I laid on the window perch, she started snipping my back claws.  The first foot went fine.   When she got to the next one, I shook it a few times.   She managed to work around it though.   I let her clip the front ones with no problem. 

She said I was a good boy and let me have a treat which was an open window to sit in.   It was a warm, light sweater/hoodie type day for humans.  So while Mommy went to the store for an hour, I sat in the open window and grooved on the warm breezes.

Now, the window is shut as the temperature is dropping.   Today was a tease.  The cold will be back tonight.  

Anyway, happy February 1st, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There's black ice on the streets and sidewalks.  Therefore, there's a lot of slip sliding going on.  BE VERY CAREFUL!

Secondly, I had my in-the-house slip-sliding adventure this morning.   After Mommy has her shower she puts the bathmat on the ledge of the tub to dry.   I'm very well aware of this as I've jumped upon it with no problem before.  That's 'cause I never run up there.

Today was a different story.  As soon as Mommy opened the bathroom door, I took a flying leap onto the bathmat.  Both it and I slid into the tub so fast.  I also jumped out super fast too.   

I'm fine except for four wet  feet.  I don't think I'll try that one again.

Well, that's my excitement for today.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's snowing today, and I love watching it!   I want to swing at the snowflakes as they come down.  Unfortunately, Mommy won't let me outside to enjoy this.

Instead, I parked my butt on the BIG chair in the kitchen and watched the snow out the window.   The BIG chair is my favorite cat tree as it has a big comfy cushion on it and I can see all activities out the kitchen window.

Anyway, back to my snow-watching.

Be safe, my friends.

Now ...</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ EDGAR, one of our good buddies got Diary of the Day today about his bravery.  WOO-HOO, Edgar!

Now, my bravery comes in a different variety:

1.    Mommy's friend Rob (Daddy Rob) came over yesterday evening
       for a visit and I remembered him and wasn't afraid of him like
      last time.   He and Mommy were in the computer room looking
     at our Catster pages and I stayed in there with them.   I even
      sniffed his pants leg and I could sense that this man is a cat-lover.
      I could smell his cats on him;

2.   Also, I let him take a bunch of pics of me with his cell phone.  The
       phone had me intrigued from the get-go as when he clicked to
       take the pics, its camera sounded like a chirping birdie;

3.    This morning when Mommy took all the dishes out of the dish
        washer, I jumped into the bottom rack and ventured toward
        the back where there is a large propeller-type thingy on the
        bottom.   I sniffed around and did an about-face and tried to walk 
        back onto the rack.   I had a hard time doing this (I made it a few 
       steps) then Mommy helped me out.   I don't think I'll go in there
       again.   It was an adventure, to say the least.

Because of my bravery toward Daddy Rob, and Mary in the past, Mommy believes I'll be a good candidate to enter into a cat show this
springtime.   I'm far more social than Merl will ever be.   Merl, again played chicken boy and hid under Mommy's bed the whole time Daddy Rob was here.   *makes chicken noises*

Merl may be tough with me.   Still he doesn't like any other people besides Mommy.  I can't figure the dude out.

Well, I hope everycat enjoys our Valentine's Day No. 1 pic.   Mommy isn't too happy with them as the came out too faded.   She's going to look for something more colorful for no 1 pic, and move the others to no. 2 pic.

Have a nice Sunday and keep warm, my Catster friends

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A few minutes ago, I posted in the forums on how I got my name.  For those of you who don't know, I'm named after a handsome young actor:  Orlando Bloom.   Since I'm a handsome cat and  my fur is blue,  Mommy named me "Orlando Blue".

Also, as to this morning, I had a fine time throwing my mousie around while Merl watched.   I think he's jeolous of my mousing skills . . . 

I'm going to keep it short as I feel a nappy coming on . . .

Purrs to my friends for a pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sorry for no diary from me the other day.

My belated concats go out to my big (grouchy) sis, for her DDP yesterday!

I also thank my new friend VINNIE (who also has a natural heart-shaped furmation) for the purrty snowflake a few days ago.

I'm glad Barack Obama's the President now!  There will be changes to America for the best.  YES WE CAN!

The covers of the Washington Post and New York Times say:  "OBAMA TAKES CHARGE!"

It was a very historic day.   Mommy watched the swearing in at work (see Merl's blog), and the Neighborhood Ball on her TV at home last night.

Got to go now.

Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been wired since 4:00 a.m. today; running around from upstairs to downstairs; running across Mommy's pillow, bed, and hopping into the window perch; chasing and wrestling with Sampy; chasing Cammie Rose;  rattling the computer room door; and talking constantly (breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeping) while I commenced all of the above activities.

All I want is to be fed.  I get like this whenever I'm hungry.   When Mommy comes home from work, I'm wired again.

Poor Mommy lost a lot of sleep because of me last night.

I think I'll let her sleep tonight . . . . . maybe . . . .

Purrs & Breeps to all my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Am I ever a happy cat now!  

I GOT A VOKI AND THAT'S NO JOKI!

Mommy chose the purrfect background for me which is her bed.   I love sleeping there the most.   Also she gave me some bling which is a red heart with the word "purr" on it. 

I have a white heart natural "furmation" bib as you all know.   She wanted to give me a white heart, but didn't see that color offered.  So red it is!

Also, it's going to be a laid-back kind of day.  It's warmer and cloudy.   I think we're due for a little bit of snow.

Have a pawsome Sunday, my friends.

Landy

P.S.   If anycat wants to Voki me, purrlease feel free to do so!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Of all the kitties in the house, Bail, is my snuggle buddy.  He's so fluffy and keeps me warm whenever I lay next to him.  He's like a living down coat!

Mommy found both of us on her bed this afternoon.  We were laying back to back.   She wishes she would have taken a pic.  I know she will some time soon.

Lastly, we had a chicken pawty.  Since I  had finished off a whole can of chicken cat food, I didn't want any.

That's about it.   I can't think of anything else to write about.  I think I'll take a nap now.

Later, my friends.

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Merl.   He's a cool dude, even though he likes to bop me all the time.   I just learned how to bop him back!

Anyway, this is my birthday wishes note to Merl and there will be some salmon tonight.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I give that catnip video of 70 exotic birdies ten paws!!  I LOVED IT!  I watched a lot of it and sprung on the TV screen.   Two of the best pics are loaded up for everycat to enjoy.  

Also, on the same video, is the laserbug which buzzes around on the screen.   It's green and has dragonfly-like wings.    This thing got me going too.   

Mommy brought Bail up to the TV to look at the laserbug, and he wasn't interested in the least.  He saw me going nuts over it, and he walked away mumbling under his breath, "kids".

Oh well, you can't please them all.   I STILL GIVE THE VIDEO TEN PAWS!   I'm not going to let my brother's opinion sway my own!

Anyway, I hope Mommy lets me watch this video again.  I can't wait until I see it again.

As to the rest of the day, it started raining around 3:00 p.m.   I don't know if it's going to change to snow or not.  

Well, that's about it from me.   I wish everycat a pawtastic weekend!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Wow!   I really like being the spokescat, especially tonight!

First of all, we're going to have a chicken pawty and after that we'll have a "camp-out" in the living room.

Mommy's going to open up the big sofa bed and us kitties will pile in with her.   She's going also bring down some DVD's for us to watch.  

The one I can't wait to see is called, "Cat Sitter"  which features over 70 exotic birds!

Of course, she's going to put on "Celtic Woman" in concert and a romance called "The Lake House" with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves.

She knows that I get entranced by the big TV downstairs as I was bopping the screen when it was playing a regular movie with people in it.  The bird movie will really flip me out!

Everything is going fine.  Mommy's going to finish  "winterising"  our pages tomorrow.  She's going to add on some scrapbooking stuff  too.   The music has to be changed.   We're trying to think of other songs that have a winter theme and can only think of the Loreena McKennitt one called "Snow" and Lindisfarne's "January Song".   There is a song by Foreigner called "Cold as Ice", but it doesn't refer to the weather.

Well, that's about it.  I got to go as the chicken pawty is about to begin . . .  YUMMY!!!

Later, my furiends,

WOWZA!!

Also, our breakfast was delayed this morning as somecat knocked the cactus plant into the kitchen sink; there was plant soil all over the place!   She had to clean it up before she started rinsing our dishes.

Oh well, I'm not saying who did it.  I do have a purrty good idea who it was, though!

Have a pawsome Tuesday, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ CFADD stands for CAT FOOD ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER and Mommy believes that I have it.

Do you know what the symptoms are?

When a kitty is fed with his/her sibs at the same time, the one affected by this disorder, will lose interest in their own dish and wander to check out what the others have.  I do this all the time and don't give the others a chance to eat their own grub.

Mommy, therefore has to feed me upstairs behind closed doors because of my CAT FOOD ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER.

Well . . .  she found out what prevented me from giving in to my disorder tonight and that one thing was TIKI CAT SARDINES.

Mommy gave me a can of Tiki, and fed my sibs at the same time, all downstairs (Sampy also got some Tiki).

Would you believe that my concentration was glued to my dish and only my dish during the whole dinner time!

I had not lifted my head up to even think of stealing anycat's food.

This proves that TIKI CAT is good stuff!  

The only thing is, Mommy can't afford Tiki all the time and buys it once in a while for a treat.  Cammie Rose, Sampy and I are the only ones who will eat it.   Cam likes the tuna and Sampy and I are the sardine lovers.

Anyway, I suppose I'll have to eat upstairs and separately unless we have Tiki Cat all the time.

MOMMY!!!

Well, that's my interesting diary for tonight.  Enjoy!

Purrs and Breeps too,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy believes I'm part Russian Blue after she looked at the breed profile on said cat.   My coat has the same silver ticked hairs like a Russian Blue.  That's why I have a silver cast over top of  the blue color.   My eyes are green (so are Orientals').    My face profile is Oriental, although not as long.   My ears are smaller too.

Anyway, Mommy has changed my profile to read:  Oriental/Russian Blue.   I was invited to a Russian Blue group a few weeks ago.  Apparently, she isn't the only one who believes I look like a Russian Blue.

Lastly, my furmily and I've noticed there isn't much activity on Catster.   It looks like a lot of cats are on "staycation" during the holiday season.  We surely miss the views we used to get.

Well, I must go now.   Sorry, I'm not very interesting tonight.

Purrs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ New Year's Day is upon us and after that comes Valentine's Day!  

The stores are clearing away all their Christmas stuff 50% - 60% off.  In portions of said stores, Valentine's Day stuff has started to appear.   I'm talking stuffed animals, candy, etc.

Now, this is what I'm getting at.   Every year Mommy checks out these stores for Valentine's Day toy kitties, to no avail.  This year she doesn't need to search for a stuffed toy kitty for Valentine's Day as she has a REAL LIVE VALENTINE'S DAY KITTY RIGHT AT HOME!

ME!!!!

Check out my lastest pics and see the lovely heart-shaped bib I sport all the time.   It's my natural fur formation (a furmation)!   How about that!   I love everybody every day as I'm love purrsonified!

And I'm cute to boot and cuddley too!  You don't have to push any buttons to make me purr either.   I'm a happy guy since I've been given the chance to live in this nice house with a nice Mommy and sibs.

So there you go!  I wish everycat a very happy Sunday!

Purrs (of course) from Landy the Valentine's Day kitty all year round]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The time has slipped away again.   I haven't done my diary in four whole days!   Mommy's the main reason why we kitties haven't done our diaries.   She's been out socializing and pawtying and comes home too late.

Then today, she had the audacity to go out all morning and part of the afternoon trying to get those "after Christmas sales".   She came home with another sweater and a blouse.   Like she really needs more clothes!   She's got enough clothes to have 10 sisters!

Oh yes, it's pick on Mommy day.   I wouldn't sit on her lap when she came home from her adventure at the mall either.   I sat on the floor and gave my affection to Sampy instead (a nice headbonk).

I was hoping I would get more attention from her since she was off work for a whole week.    Oh well, I suppose pawrents have other things to do besides stay home and sleep 18 hours a day like us kitties.

On the good side, I thank Mommy for at least doing our New Year's pics.

Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was playing with my blue milk jug ring on the kitchen floor.  Suddenly, I bopped it too hard and I made a goal!   Yep, it went right under the stove!   I tried despirately to retrieve it by sticking both of my front feet under the crack of the stove, to no avail.   I huffed and puffed while I did so (of course, 'cause I was thoroughly hissed off that my beloved milk jug ring had disappeared for good).

Still I tried and tried.   Then I got something and I pulled it out.   It was  POM-POM BALL!   I had performed a magic trick and turned my milk jug ring into a ball!   WOWZA!   Mommy watched and assured me that I didn't have magical powers nor did the stove.    I had just retrieved one of the many, many other objects my brothers and I had "bopped" under there.

Mommy took the ball and threw it into the dining room.   I ran after it and soon got bored with that.   I jumped up onto the dining room table whereon she had laid her digital camera.   I grabbed it by the strap and dropped it onto the floor.

Mommy said, "it better not be broken, buster. "   She checked the camera and it still worked.   WHEW!    I didn't feel like getting yelled at nor getting a lump of coal from Santa Claws!

Well, all in all, everything's okay.   Mommy has to go out for now to finish some Catmas shopping and then she's going to meet her friend Mary for dinner.

Purrs and breeps to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I ran around in circles as I heard a fire engine coming up the street!   I went to the window and saw nothing  as it had already passed.

Mommy assured me that this is one of the traditions in Calvert Hills (the portion of College Park that we live).    Santa Claus arrives escorted by the College Park Fire Department, and then the big tree is lit.   Parents bring their children to see Santa.  Hot cocoa is provided for all, and some people bring cookies to share.

This has been going on since Mommy was a young girl.   She's only been up there once, as a matter of fact.   

The celebration is over now, and the tree is lit in beautiful red and green lights (Mommy could see the tree from the back door as it is guite tall).

Other than that, Mommy came downstairs to feed us.   She found me and Bail all snug as two bugs in a rug in the top cup of the new cat tree.   Before she could take a picture of us, I jumped down.  Another Kodac moment destroyed!

Well, that's about it.   I just ate my dinner and have to do that after dinner grooming thing.

I hope everycat is having a pawsome last weekend before Catmas.

		<title>RASPBERRY BERET AND OTHER SUBJECTS</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ First of all, Mommy got the raspberry beret she wanted.  Her friend at work gave it to her yesterday when the office exchanged gifts.  When she left work, she put on her raspberry beret, got in her car, and flicked on the radio.  Guess who's song was playing?   You got it,  Prince!   But the only thing wrong with this picture, he was singing about his "Red Corvette".   Close, very close!   Same guy, different song.   Almost a synchronicity!

Also, I've been playing with an old toy that used to belong to our angel brother, BENTLEY (who I never had the pawleasure of meeting).   It is a Christmas catnip pillow with red ribbons and a bell on it.   I've been carrying it around for the past couple of days.   Mommy makes sure that I don't gobble up the ribbons or bell.   I wish she's learn to "chill" as I'm not a fabric or bell eating kitty!

Also, we had a salmon pawty last night (Mommy, Bail and I).   Sampy, Merl and Cam didn't care to join in the fun.

Lastly, Mommy better get ready to do some shopping.   Last night she brought us a bag of catnip, and I think she's waiting to give it to us on Catmas.   I can't wait.    I'm still waiting for that new cat tree though . . . 


Purrs & Breeps to all my Catster friends.   Have a purrleasant last weekend before Catmas.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ OMC!   I was so tired that I missed out on a chicken pawty!   Can you believe that?

I was napping on the kitty window perch in the master bedroom.   Mommy had her CD player on and I drifted off to the mewsic . . . 

Some time later, Mommy came upstairs with a paper towel.   She unwrapped it and pulled out a few pieces of chicken.  She said, "I called and called you, Landy, and you didn't come.  Are you alright!"  She stuck a piece of chicken under my nose and instantly, I was back to normal.

Nom, nom, nom, gobble, gobble, slurp, slurp.   Chicken is out of this world!  I can't believe I slept through a chicken pawty!   I'm so glad that Mommy was kind enough to save some  just for me!

*blows kisses toward Mommy*

Well, also, before I retire for the night, Mommy's got a B'Day tomorrow so I'm going to be on my bestest behavior and not try to wake her up before 6:00 a.m.

I hope I keep my pawmise!

Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yep, another chicken pawty!   We're not complaining though.

Also, Bail and I've been taking turns playing with the catnip candycane he got from his girl COLLEEN.  It's got some strong nip in it!

Other than that, it's raining out.  It's not cold enough yet for it to turn to snow.  

Cammie Rose is still inside, and I make sure I visit her every morning whether she likes it or not.   Today she was angry and swung at my face.   It's good that I'm young and have fast reflexes.

That's about it from me tonight.   I think Mommy's going to hit the hay early as she's been up since 4:15 a.m.!

Later, my furiends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, I got my Catmas Mewsic; there's now a lot of cool songs for the season on my page.   Only thing is, one version of Manheim Steamroller's "Carol of the Bells" somehow "Mashes up" with one version of John Denver's "Silver Bells". Don't ask me what went wrong here.  I call it "Landy's Mash-Up".  There's a radio station in our area that does "Mash-ups".    Hehehehe!   Mommy did this and she doesn't know how she did it.  This is the first time she worked with Playlist.com.  She usually uses something called Imeem.com

Is it a computer error or a Mommy error?  

Anyway, enjoy my mewsic.   Too bad each song doesn't play all the way through.

As to a bit ago, I played with my blue milk jug ring.   I batted toward Merl a couple times as I wanted him to play hockey with me.  Nope, he just sat there and looked at the ring and let me do all the work.

Humpf.   Brothers!

Well, I must go back to my game of hockey even if I get no players.  Purrs to all my Catster friends.

Landy

ADDENDUM:   After I blogged all this above-noted stuff, the mash-up syndrome isn't happening.   Go figure!   I think the playlist has a mind of it's own!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a fun morning!!!

1.    Mommy gave me a few wadded up grocery receipts to play with. 
        Batting those around are just as fun as with milk jug rings;

2.     Jumping in and out of my cat activity cubes is fun, and  I love
        the way they collapse and spring back up when you  jump on     
        them;

3.     I had a fun game of chase and bop with Merl;

4.      I had a few leaps at my cat-dancer.

All-in-all, I'm enjoying my life here.   There's always plenty to do and when my best "bud" bro, Sampy sleeps, Merl keep's me entertained.

I hope everycat has a pawsome weekend.   Tell Santa Claws what you want for Catmas as it's almost that time (11 more days)!

Purrs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Catnip toys,
Catnip toys,
Catnip toys, HURRAY,
Oh what fun it is to play
with catnip toys all day!

This is my Catmas song (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells).

Enjoy my friends.   Just like I enjoy catnip toys all day!

After I wrote this little song, Mommy opened her jewelry box and dumped it on the bed.   She was looking for a pair of silver and blue feather earrings.   While she did so, I wanted to help her.   So therefore, here is another verse to the tune of Jingle Bells, but not really a Catmas subject:

Mommy's jewelry,
Mommy's jewelry,
Mommy's jewelry, HURRAY,
Oh what fun it is to play
with Mommy's jewelry all day!
Hoopie ones, dangly ones,
Ones that are shiney and bright,
I can play with Mommy's jewelry each and every night!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's true that I stole Bail's catmas gift he got today from Colleen.    I loved the catnip candycane and couldn't resist playing with it!

It's also true that Bail and I got into a little tussle later on.   I hope he wasn't mad at me for licking all over his toy candycane.

Anyway,  he startled me with his loud yipping meows.   I thought I was being jumped by a raccoon instead of a Maine Coon!

Well, that's about it from me.  I'll keep mine short tonight.   I'm tired.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I guess you can say this is my first snow.   Last December I was still a little guy a couple months old.   I don't remember seeing snow.

When Mommy came home from shopping and taking care of her car, it was snowing.  When she came in, she closed the outer door and let me peak outside.   It was white and very cold.

I'm glad I didn't fly out the door like I did a few days ago.   Mommy's also  glad I didn't  pull another great escape.

Lastly, Merl, Bail and I played a little game of milk jug ring hockey.   I was batting it all around the dining room floor.   Bail sprung on me a few times.   Also, I kicked the ring toward Merl and it landed at his feet.   That's when I stopped playing.   I didn't feel like him bopping me on the head as I tried to reach for the ring.

Well, that's about it.   I'm tired and feel a nappy coming on.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I've been in the house since September 28th and decided to pull a great escape out the front door.

I figured that would be the easiest way to pull my escape as it's dark when Mommy comes home from work.   When she entered the house with an arm load of grocery bags, it was hard for her to stop me  as I had already run out the door and onto the front porch.

She put the groceries on the floor and called to me.   I turned my backside to her and ran down the steps and toward the azalea bushes.

When she came outside, I was sniffing the bushes.  She walked up to me and held an open can of salmon Fancy Feast under my nose.

Wellllll . . . . that ended my outdoor adventure . . . . the smell of salmon overtook me . . . I BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPED  . . .

Mommy said, "if you want to eat you got to come back in."

"Okay, okay, okay, you sold me," I said and followed her back into the house.

I'm glad I came back in too as I would've have missed out on the chicken pawty that came after I had finished eating the "lure".

All in all, I don't think she was too happy about my sneaking outside.   I don't think she's going to bring in all her groceries at once again after my trick.

Anyway, I'm all sated with a full belly.   I had a little exercise afterward and now it's nappy time.

Later, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ During the photo shoot on Sunday morning, I made a really strange face.   It's on my page which is captioned:  "OMC!  I think he's in our house!"  Something like that.

I was yawning when Mommy snapped the pic too late.  

Oh well, she got me showing my upper and lower fangs along with my tongue.   It's a little blurry, but she wanted to post it anyway.

Well, that's about it for now.  I'm tired too!

		<title>NIGHTMARE JINGLE BELL COLLARS!</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The title just about says it all!   Catmas collars with jingle bells on them . . . one made of fake purple fur and velvet . . .  another of cotton with the words, "ho-ho" written all over it . . .  they're very frightening when put on . . .

Mommy first put the ho-ho jingle collar on me and I rolled around on the bed thinking that would dislodge the stupid thing from my neck.   Nope.   Mommy took it off.   She then put the purple one on me.   I immediatly took off  from the bed shaking my head in all directions thinking I could remove the nightmarish thing from me!   No luck!

I pulled at it with my mouth and popped the elastic band inside it.   All of a sudden it got big enough to put around Merl's neck and that's where it  ended up next.

He also ran around like a nut.   Yep!   Merl and I do have something in common and it took me until now to find this one out.   WE BOTH GET FREAKED OUT BY JINGLE BELL  COLLARS!!

The collar next was put on Bail, and he didn't spaz out like Merl and I did.

Before the collar nightmare, Mommy put these nutty-looking antlers and a Santa hat on me.   I didn't want any part of that.  I shook my head and the things slid off.  

Later on Mommy put on a nice blue fleece snow flake and pawprint bandana on me and took some pics.   That I didn't mind.   I'm a bandana boy.   

Mommy's going to have to bribe me with a lot of turkey (yes I had some and LOVE IT!) before she can get a picture of me wearing any of those jingle bell collars.

Well, that's about it from me for now.   I understand it's going to be another leftover turkey night.   Today should be the last of it.

Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ There was a knock at the door around 12 noon yesterday.   Mommy opened it and in walked a tall, human man!   I've never seen a man in Mommy's house, and the only man I've seen before that was the vet!

I got scared and was running around in circles in the kitchen.   I jumped onto the counter, into the big chair, back onto the counter, and onto Bail's foot stool and continued my route many, many times.

The man spoke to me and said, 'HI, KITTY," in a deep, scary voice.   I continued to run around in the kitchen, and then Mommy managed to pick me up to comfort me.   She carried me into the dining room where the man could get a closer look at me.

I kicked Mommy and wriggled out of her arms and hid under the dining room table.   She said, "Landy, this is Rob and he's not going to eat you for Thanksgiving dinner."

I didn't find that very comforting at all.  I ran into the living room and did a "duck & hide" under the big burgundy couch.  I stayed there for quite a long time.

Meanwhile, they both went upstairs for a while.   

I understand that Sampy was really friendly and not scared at all as he knew "Daddy Rob" and also remembered that he always gave him catnip treats.   Merl was scared, and Bail was semi-scared.   Cammie Rose, wasn't scared either.

Then they came back downstairs, and were soon off to his friend's place to have Thanksgiving dinner.

They came back around 10:00 p.m. last night and I was laying on the little chair.   This time I wasn't as scared as earlier.   It could be that I got a good whiff of something that was in a bag they carried in.

I believe that was the stuff called "turkey".   Now I understand from Bail that Mommy will let us have a taste of some tonight.

I CAN'T WAIT!

Got to go now and let Mommy get ready for her last day of work for this week.   It's Friday!

Purrs & Breeps,

1.   I'm thankful that my new mommy took me in from the outdoors;
2.   I'm thankful that I have such wonderful Mommy and brothers
      and sister;
3.   I'm thankful for all my wonderful Catster friends;

5.   I'm thankful for the nice warm beds I get to sleep in.

I wish all my friends and their families a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

This is my first Thanksgiving and I'll get to eat, for the first time, some TURKEY.   Mommy's going to have Thanksgiving dinner with some friends and possibly will bring home some leftover turkey.

I'll tell you, I can't wait.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well, tomorrow is MY first Thanksgiving ever!   I'm really excited about this stuff called "turkey".

Oh, I've had the cat food version of it and that's not too bad.   I understand the "real" turkey is the bestest ever!

Mommy's not going to cook a turkey for just herself.   She cooked one a long time ago and hasn't done it since.   She told me that the one she cooked was so leathery that the Washington Redskins could have used it in one of their games!

She's been invited to spend Thanksgiving day with some good friends.   Purrhaps she'll bring back some leftovers!

Anyway, I wish all my Catster friends a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Just say "no" to loose catnip!   Mommy gave Sampy and Merl some loose green stuff called "catnip" this morning.   They went wild, especially Sampy.   He bit Mommy's hand just to get the stuff from her.   Then he struck at me a couple times. 

Afterward,she took a little pinch of the stuff and held it under my nose so I could sniff it.   One sniff of the stuff freaked me out.   I wasn't ready for this at all!   I breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeped really loud and ran down the stairs.   I was saying, "just say no to loose catnip".

No thank you, Mommy.   I'll stick to the catnip in my toys and mousies.   I get turned on enough that way.  Loose catnip is toooooooo strong for me!

I have to get my head back together after that adventure.   It really spaced me too far out.   I don't like getting that "blown away".

Anyway, it's another Monday.   All of us have to deal with Mommy being gone for eight hours each day for another four days!  

WAH!!!

Well, I must go now.   Purrs to everycat.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Early this morning Mommy put me into the carrier and into the car.  She started the thing up, backed out of the driveway, and we were off.
VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!  I asked her if the thing had a jet engine in it 'cause she went so fast.

She turned on the radio and mewsic from a group called, "Led Zeppelin" was playing.   I tried to meow along with it.   "If mountains crumble to the sea, there'll still be you and me.  Kind woman . . . "

Anyway, when I finally got to the vet, I was weighed in at 11.40 lbs!  WOWZA!   I'm a big boy now!   All that food I pack away, no wonder!   Do you know that I'm about the same size as Bail who weighs 11.70!  He looks much bigger because he's 75% hair!!

I was then taken into another room wherein Mommy let me out of the carrier.   I came out with no problem and was purring.  I stood on the stainless steel table and walked around as if I was on the table at home.   Soon thereafter, the doctor came in. He was a nice young man, and I let him listen to my heart and look into my ears.

The worst part was the shot, of course.   I flinched when that was first injected into me.   I was still a good boy and didn't holler or hiss or bite.

Lastly, while Mommy was paying for my visit, a big white cat with a black tail and spot on his side came up to my carrier.   We sniffed noses through the holes in my carrier.   He told me his name was Buster and he lived at the hospital.   He is the "resident" cat.   I told him that I was glad to meet him.   All-in-all, he was very nice.   We didn't hiss or yowl at each other.

Mommy brought me home and she went shopping.   She was gone for about five hours.

Now here I am.   I'm getting hungry and will be eating more.   My goal is to reach an even 12 lbs!

I don't think Oriental's get much bigger than that unless the other part of me is a BIG breed kitty!

Well, I got to go now.   Bail wants to write something.

Purrs and Breeps to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have to go to the vet tomorrow for my last shot for the year.  

BUMMER!   I don't like riding in the car either.   I meow during the whole 20 minute trip.

At least I get to find out how much I weigh.  Mommy thinks I've gained another pound.

Also, it's very cold and will be that way all weekend long.   It looks like it's going to be another four cat night on the big bed.

Well, that's about it from me.   Goodnight, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A lot of cats have unusual markings.  I'm proud to be one of them!  

My little white bib is heart-shaped.  Mommy let me see it in her hand-held mirror as I can't see the top  portion of it.   None of my friends on Catster have seen it except for its pointed tip.   Mommy doesn't have anybody living with her to photograph me while she tilts my head back a little to show off my unusual marking.

When her friends come over, this can be accomplished (if I don't run and hide from them).  Also, she told me that when I'm entered in a cat show, the judges will love my heart shaped bib.

Also, it's cold out there!   It's 35 degrees in our area right now and expected to reach the mid 40's.    This weekend and all next week it's staying that way!  BUMMER and I have to go to the vet on Saturday in this arctic blast!

Bring on the spring!

Well, I must go now and let Mommy get ready for work.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I surprised Mommy the other morning.

I was on the kitchen floor, and I was pawing at and chasing something in front of me that she couldn't see.   It looked so funny to her to see me doing this.  I jumped around and shuffled my paws across the floor and then underneath the big chair.  It was when I was under the chair that I saw my tail and batted that.

She's totally baffled as there are no ants around this time of year. The only bug that shows up once in a while upstairs is a centepede, and she can see those without her glasses.

To her it looked like I was chasing an invisible mousie or ball.

I never told Mommy what I saw.   I'm keeping that as a secret of all secrets.   Hehehehe!

Lastly, I didn't feel like waking Mommy up this morning.   She had to wake me up so she could get out of bed.   Merl and I had her pinned in (one on either side of her legs).

Well, that's it from me this morning.   I'm looking forward to my breakfast which will be served soon.

Purrs for a purrleasant Wednesday, my Catster friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a new place to sleep as of this weekend.   Since it's gotten colder, I like sleeping under the living room couch.  The ruffle at it's bottom makes it like a tent and it's warmer under there.

This morning I was under the couch taking a nappy.  Bail saw the tip of my tail sticking out.   He stuck his nose under the ruffle so he could find the rest of me, and that's when I gave him a surprise bop.   Of course, he bopped me back.   We were having fun with this as we both breeped at each other when we exchanged bops.

Also, we had our first snow this afternoon.  I didn't see it as I was sleeping then.   Mommy told me it happened during her lunch.  It was nothing major, just a few flakes here and there and then  it stopped.  

Well, that's about it.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Since I'm a bit over 1 year old (cat age), I believe it's time for me to have a ladycat furriend!

All my brothers have girlfriends and my sister (can't believe it though) has a boyfriend!   And, and, and, I'm all by myself.  I'm the lonely guy in the house.

Is there any girl kitty out there interested in a young handsome dude like me?

I'm very playful and I love to sing!   I love many foods and good mewsic.  I'm into a lot of sports too . . . like running and jumping and playing hockey with just about any type of ball!

If interested, purrlease let me know.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's been an active day so far of all of us.

First of all, when Mommy was putting some blueberries on her cereal this morning, she dropped one on the floor.   Of course, I found it and played hockey with it thinking it was a miniature ball.   I batted the thing and then I made a goal!   It rolled it under the stove,  and I tried to retrieve it, to no avail.  Now Mommy is going to have a rotten blueberry under her stove.  Hehehe!

Secondly, Mommy did a photo shoot of Bail and I sitting in the open kitchen window.   These are first time shots.   Also, we nose kissed while in the window.  Mommy missed this one as she had turned the camera off  before this happened.

Third, Bail and I did another nose kiss in the dining room.   Mommy complimented us on this and said that's what she wants to see more of.

Lastly, there are a few more new pics of me coming over today.  They may run onto nos. 11 & 12 so check those out too, my furriends!

Have a pawsome weekend.

Purrs & Breeps,

		<title>I WANT TO BE BAIL'S PURRSONAL TRAINER TOO . . . .</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I also tried being Bail's purrsonal trainer today.  He didn't want to have anything to do with it.   He's afraid to wrestle with any cat except for Sampy. 

Anyway, I tried some ninja skills on Bail, and he let out a screech that sounded like a feuding raccoon.  It's a very loud 'YIP" that was repeated several times.   I never heard a cat make a sound like that.   

Mommy and Sampy were in the computer room when they heard all the noise and ran downstairs to see what had happened.   She yelled for us to "stop it", and by the time she got downstairs, we had already gone our separate ways.   I was walking around the dining room with a, "la-la-la-la what's your problem, lady?' look on my face.   In fact, I looked her right in the eyes and breeped.    She looked at me and said, "naughty".   I think I got the message.   Mommy doesn't like us fighting.   She wants total harmony, and us kitties want to rumble at times.   She just doesn't get it.

Anyway, Bail and I get along otherwise.   We're not buddy-buddy like Sampy and I.  We sniff each other without any friction.  Also, Bail doesn't hiss anymore when I sit next to him in a window or on the window perch.  We attend chicken and/or salmon pawties and don't fight over who gets which piece.

Well, I guess I'll be on my way.   There's a chicken pawty scheduled again for tonight!   Oh boy!!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The subject for today is "rolling".   First of all, Sampy, is on a diary pick roll.   He's surely got the knack for hitting it a lot!

Second "rolling" are two toys I love to roll around.   One of them is a hand-me-down from my angel sister "Isis" whom I never had the pleasure of meeting.   Her old toy is made out of wood and has a bell inside.   When I roll it, it jingles the most beautiful musical notes.  Secondly, a good cheap fun toy is an empty bathroom tissue roll.   I had a great time this morning rolling that around upstairs.

Anyway, CONCATS Sampy on your DDP today!

I got to go now.  Poor Mommy has to eat her breakfast and finish getting ready for work.

Purrs to everycat,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Noooo, I didn't get a bath in the sink or bathtub.   Sampy washed me when I crawled into the cat bed with him.   I also groomed him in return.

When kitties do this, that means they have bonded!  Yes!  Sampy's my best bud!  We wrestle and play too!   He's like a BIG brother or Daddy to me!

Also, I hope everycat enjoys my new pics!  Some of them are entered into the contest so purrlease vote for me!

Also, I thank my new friend BISCOTTI for the heart and kind words.

Got to go now as it's getting late.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ All of us (including Mommy) are adjusting to the time change.   Sampy, Merl and I wake her up between 4:30 a.m. - 4:45 a.m. thinking it's later as it's lighter outside.   Come 5:30 a.m. we think it's 6:30 a.m. and want to be fed before she gets out of  bed. 

Now Bail, is a different story.   He's not a kitty to get in Mommy's face to be fed.   He lets her sleep.   I guess you can say, he's the most considerate of her need for sleep.

Because of our responding to our hunger alarms with great anxiety, Mommy's losing a lot of sleep.  

She puts her covers over her head to avoid our slurping tongues and purrs in her ears at these "way before the birds" hours.  If she closed us out of the room, I know I would be the first one to BREEEEEEEEEP the loudest and stick my paws through the crack of the door and rattle it with all my strength.

Anyway, everycat, tell your pawrents to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE today.  This is a very important election!

Have a nice day & purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ HALLOWEEN:

Well, halloween is over with until next year.   I didn't get to participate in it as Mommy was afraid I would run out the door when the trick or treaters came by.  You see, I sometimes  have a habit of trying to pull a great escape.    She didn't want to take that risk and left me in the master bedroom for an hour and a half.

I did watch from the upstairs window and saw all kinds of scary-looking kids knocking on our front door.

MIRROR GAMES:

This morning I was laying on the leopard kitty warming blankie when Mommy decided to let me look at myself in her hand-held mirror.   I found this quite amusing and tried to paw at the kitty in the mirror.   I couldn't get a him, so I reached behind the mirror and got Mommy's hand instead and decided to paw and bite that (not hard though).

THE REST OF THE DAY:

Warm, warm, warm.   We had windows open!   What a blast!


THANK YOU:

I thank my good buddies EDGAR and EMILY FELICITY for the spider/spider web.   It's way cool!   

HAVE A PAWSOME WEEKEND:

I got to go now.  I wish all my friends a very pawsome weekend.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Diary Pick of the Day!   I thank Catster for this honor!  What a lovely pre-halloween surprise!  

Without my inspiring Mommy with my super-affectionate (kissies, bonks, and cuddles), this wouldn't have happened.

I love Mommy and I love my brothers.   I love the nice house and all the food and treats I'm given.   I also cannot forget the many toys I have.   Since my olders brothers don't play with them too much, THEY'RE MINE now!

As to last night, I really cuddled Mommy.  I was under the covers again and then I shared her pillow with her.   Some time before both of us fell asleep, Sampy jumped up and camped out behind Mommy's bad knee (I suppose he wanted to keep it warm for her as it was very cold last night).

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy today to the max and will list my thank yous during the day.

Here's my thank you list for gifts, concats & kind words:

1.   HOOCH & Family - black cat;
2.  SAMOA & Family - candy corn;
3.  BOOGERS & Family - ghost;
4.  MARGO - Febreze collar;
5.  MERLIN'S MAGIC KANE & Family - Febreze collar;
6.  ANGELS BUDDIE, McKENNA & Family - Febreze collar.

Thanks again Diary Gal for the pawsome honor of being in the limelight for the second time since I've joined Catster.  It's really a joyful feeling!

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs all day long,

Landy is doing great!   He's fitting in more each day.  Of course, he and Cammie Rose don't get along (she's the non-friendly one).  That's okay, because she doesn't like the other boys either.

He sleeps with me every night and likes to snuggle under the covers for about five minutes.  He comes back out, climbs onto my pillow, and lays there for a few minutes purring in my ears.  After all of the good-nights, he settles down to lay at my side until 5:30 a.m.

I'm glad we found each other.   Landy's not a feral like I believe Yingy was.  He is not noisey and doesn't caterwaul.   He trills like Bailey Gray Cloud except his are longer and more frequent.   Maybe that's why these two like each other.   They speak the same language.

Anyway, this is a brief update.

		<title>LANDY ON PURPLE FRAME AND IMIKIMI</title>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My brothers cautioned me about the purple frame that's surrounding only my vote button (the bottom one).   They said not to touch it as it freezes up the computer.   They learned that the hard way last year.   So,when we check out our own pics  or vote for others, we have to watch out for the purple frame around their vote buttons (pressing the top button is okay as that's not framed).

Also, Mommy spent FIVE whole hours on this place called imikimi. com  She did some pawsome stuff on there.   She made us (Sampy, Bail, Merl, Cammie Rose, and I some new frames and she did ones for herself).   She made herself look like a vampire and a witch!  Check out Cam's and my pages.    

Also, something is going on with my graphics.   THEY'RE ALL GLITTERY TODAY.   Yesterday, they were all dull and flat.   I guess my page is haunted.

Anyway, I got to let poor Mommy eat her dinner.   She fed all of us and went back to the computer to loadup these pawsome pics.

Later and goodnight, my friends

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We had a chicken pawty this evening.

Mommy, Sampy, Bail and I attented.   Merl stayed even though he doesn't like chicken.   Mommy gave him a piece anyway.  The dude wouldn't touch it at all!  He left it at his feet, and when I made a move toward it, and he bopped me in the face.

I didn't try again.  The piece of chicken stayed at Merl's feet until Sampy came along and grabbed it.   He let Sampy take it!   He didn't bop him at all!

Can you believe that!   Merl didn't want me to have the piece of chicken.   He was saving it for Sampy!

I think Merl plays a lot of strange games with me!  I'm still trying to figure him out.   Oh yes, I'm intimidated by his size.   I'm afraid to play rough with him.

Anyway, halloween stuff will be added this weekend (more graphics, stories, etc.)

Have a pawsome Friday night, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As everycat has heard, Mommy and Sampy did outfox me.   I was a sucker for a pom-pom ball!

What next!

I'll get back at them for this.   I think a 3:30 a.m. wake up call from me would be just the right thing to do!   Maybe some loud purring in Mommy's ear and walking on top of Sampy while they try to sleep!

Well, I must go now and think of many ways to wake them up.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ When Mommy came home from work, I showed her that I can be a good boy.   I didn't jump on Sampy's back and try to ride him.   I didn't lunge for his tummy and make him cry "uncle".   I was good to the core!

We had a salmon pawty tonight too, and that turned out very well.  Nobody fought over the pieces of salmon given to us.

Last night, all of us went to bed early, and I snuggled against one side of Mommy while Sampy was on her other side.   Merl and Bail stayed downstairs, and Cam didn't want to come in (she's unreal).

I can't understand why they didn't join us.   It was certainly cold enough for a 4-5 cat pile-up.

Lastly, I hope everycat's voting for me.   I'm a good looking guy!

Later & Purrs,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy has the purrfect device to use when I'm naughty.  It's a stuffed toy called "Londo Lemur".  There's a button on his tummy and when you press it, it says: "Hi, I'm Londo Lemur".  Then you press it a second time and it does a loud lemur call (which sounds like a regular monkey).   I DON'T LIKE THAT MONKEY NOISE IT MAKES!   I stop all naughty activities and run.

She uses it when I jump upon the stove and/or play a bit too rough with Sampy (when he starts doing a lot of hissing and kaking).

She doesn't want to yell  as that doesn't work with me.  Anyway, I think it's a big joke to hear her yell the word "no".   She sounds like she's growling. 

Anyway, I'm having a good day so far.   I've eaten a whole can of cat food and cleaned up my brothers' dishes.   Mommy says, with me around, no food goes to waste.

I'll be on my way as it's time for a nappy after my very active morning.

Have a pawsome weekend, my Catster friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The visit to the vet didn't turn out too bad (minus the shot and temerature taken).   

I now weigh 10.80 lbs.   Three weeks ago I was 9.50.   All that food and my ravenous appetitite did this.   Dr. McMicheal says it's okay though; young cats eat a lot.

He looked into my mouth and could tell that I was one year old.   I have no tartar and all my adult teeth.

After I had my shot, I jumped off the examining table and decided to check the place out.   I sniffed here and there.   Mommy and Dr. McMicheal were laughing.

Mommy was so proud of me for being such a good kitty.

When I got home, I relaxed for a bit and then I played with ALL three of my brothers.

Well, that's about it from me.   I'm tired.   Have a pawsome weekend.

Oh well,  the booster shot is due.

I'll also post later on today about how much weight I've gained.  Mommy thinks I'm going to be BIG like Merlin when I get older.

We'll see about that!

Got to go.   Check everycat out later.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Early this morning, I woke Mommy up coughing:  HACK, HACK, GACK, GACK, etc.   She expected to see what Sampy calls a "GACKLE" come flying out my mouth.   She patted me on my back and that stopped it.

Then Sampy did the same thing.    She wondered way both of us were coughing like this.

We're fine now.   It was more than likely some fur got stuck on the way down after we groomed ourselves (no we don't groom each other yet).

Also, I have a vet appointment tomorrow for a booster shot.   Of course, they will weigh me.   I truly believe I've gained some weight.

Lastly, Mommy wanted to enter me into my first cat show and googled Cat Fanciers Association to find info on the show they always have at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds around Nov. 8-9th.   This time it's being held all the way in Frederick, MD and she doesn't want to drive that far for two days.  Hotels are too expense so that's out of the question.   She's going to try to enter me and Bail in the December show in Baltimore which is much closer.

Anyway, that's it for now.   My breakfast (yum-yum) will be served soon.

Lastly, I'm tired as Mommy got out the feathers on a stick, and I jumped and spun around in circles.  She has scheduled these playtimes for me so I don't get bored and/or pick on Sampy all the time.

What can I say.   Sampy's the one I like really like to play with.  He'll wrestle with me when my other brothers won't.

Anyway, I'm going to cut it short.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This morning I found out I got two new Febreze collars, concats & pawsome words for my DDP yesterday:

1.   BUDDIE, McKENNA & Family;
2.   IVAN & Family.

Thank you so much my, purrfect friends!

As to this morning (well, it's too early to tell) except that I'm ravenous!  Mommy called me a bottomless pit 'cause she doesn't know how I could pack in sooooo much food.   I'm always hungry.   

There's a young Siamese kitty named HK from UK who is/was a BIG eater.   I wonder who would win if he and I had a eating contest.

Anyway, I look forward to another day of freedom.   Everything is going pawsome around here.   No, bitting, scatching or "bust each other up fights" happen around here.   Mommy says it's such a relief that I didn't turn out to be another fighter like Yingy.

Again, I'm a player not a fighter!

Got to go and get that anticipatory purr running!

Love & Meeps,

Landy]]></content:encoded>

I'M DIARY PICK OF THE DAY!!!  I've only been on Catster since Sept. 27, 2008 and I was chosen!   THANK YOU, Catster for this honor!

I thank SAMOA a/k/a Snow White & family for my very first pumpkin and their concats.

I also thank the following for their gifts, kind words & concats:

1.   Sir Sonny Bono & Family - Febreze collar;
2.   Pumpkin & Family - Febreze collar;
3.   Margo - Febreze collar;
4.   Edgar & Emily Felicity - blue rosette;
5.    Samoa & Family - pumpkin;
6.    Fido & Family - pumpkin;
7.   Karisma - sun glasses;

My brothers (even Bail) gave me their concats.  Sampy high-fived me.   I know Merl will give his high five to my butt like he always does when I walk past him.

Sampy is the one who encouraged me to keep blogging and sooner or later I would get DDP!   IT WORKED!  THANK YOU, SAMPY!

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy my day to the max.   I'll also add my thank you's to this entry like my sibs do when they get more gifts.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs,

I have full run of the house (computer room and cellar not included) except during the following activities"

1.   When Mommy has to take out the trash or feed Cammie Rose;

2.    Mealtimes (I have a habit of eating all food in sight);

3.     When Mommy cooks for herself.   She doesn't want me jumping
          on the stove.

Other than that I have earned the priviledge of having full run of the house.   I'm not closed in the bedroom by myself at night anymore.  Also, Mommy went out for several hours each day and all of us got along great.

Mommy, Sampy and Merl slept with me last night.   Bail slept in the same room except he stayed in the windowsill perch.

I'm thankful that I've found this nice place to live.   I picked the right dish in the neighborhood to eat from.   

Well, I'm feeling great and this weekend was a milestone.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy told me that I did great i.e. no fights or hissing matches with my brothers when she left the bedroom door open last night.

Of course, Sampy was the only one who slept with Mommy and me(only two hours).   The other two were more than likely sleeping on the couch downstairs.   I guess they didn't want to sleep with me as I have a habit of running around on the bed and/or purring and kneading a lot.

As to today, I'm still on the loose.   I also got a nail trim.   Mommy has one paw to go (I didn't let her do that one).

Lastly, I got three pics entered into the photo contest so I'd appreciate some votes.   Mommy has a couple more new photos (tail and sleeping one to enter later on).

Well, that's all the news I have right now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tonight, of course Friday night, Mommy is going to let me have the run of the house all night long (minus the computer room).

She will sleep in her big bed and is curoius to see who will join her.  Will it be only me or will my other sibs be there too?   We shall see.   That'll be the big test to see if we can all sleep together overnight.

Mommy tells me that I'm making big progress in getting along with the others.   A lot of it has to do with:   I'm already neutered; I'm young; and I've not been in the wild for very long.

I was a stray and not a feral.   If Mommy hadn't rescued me, I could have turned into a very wild kitty like Yingy had been last year.

Anyway, vote for my pic so far (costume).   More will be entered this weekend.   I have a feeling all of us will be seeing a lot of bright flashes.

Got to go now.

Purrs to all,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ What a morning!   I got a longer runaround session!   I loved it!

Music was playing, and I grooved on it all!   Merl was nice to me (he didn't bop me).

Sampy and I had our early morning chase, and when he got tired of it he hissed and swung at me.   Of course, I adhered to his requests.

Bail has a BIG problem when both of us are on the stairs together.  He thinks the stairs are his cat tree!   I challenged him by running super fast past him and uttering a loud " BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP".   He wasn't ready for that and hissed like a tea kettle at me as I flew past him.  Of course, Mommy told us to break it up.  We were good boys and went our separate ways.

I understand this weekend will be more fun for me as I'll have longer sessions outside of my room.   I CAN'T WAIT!

Well, I gotta run.  Poor Mommy needs her breakfast.

Purrs and Breeps,

Landy

P.S.  I thank my new furriend, RIZZA for her cool Power of the Paw and friend's request.   She's from the Land Down Under!  Where she lives it's spring while it's autumn here!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Sampy and I were naughty this morning.   We created the ultimate "no-no" as follows:

We were having our usual chasing game (which is okay).  Where we did it was wrong and naughty.   We ran behind the tv in the computer room and got ourselves tangled (for less than a minute) in the tv wires and computer wires which were plugged into the surge protector.   The surge protector was pulled almost off the little table between the tv and computer.   

Mommy absolutely hates us kitties getting behind the tv and the table.  Luckily we can't fit behind the computer or she'll get a big attitute about that.

Anyway, she yelled for us to get out of the room and we took off for downstairs.   

MOMMY'S NOTE:   I don't know why all my cats want to run and play where there are wires and cords.   Bailey and Merl go behind the tv a lot and I feel uneasy about it.   I'm constantly waving the kitty tease to deter them from that area.

When I'm not sitting at the computer they leave that area alone.   Go figure.

BACK TO LANDY:   Anyway, I think I'll chill for a while.   Sampy and I love playing "chase" and I guess we did it in the wrong place.  Oh well!

I go to go now.   Have a happy Wednesday, my friends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ WOWZA what a title!   What I'm getting at is, I love all three subjects mentioned in it.

First of all, Mommy's best friend Mary, came over last evening, and before they went to dinner at NOODLES & COMPANY, I was a very non-scared kitty.

When Mary came in the front door, I didn't run from her like Merl and Bail did (chicken brothers).   I held back for a few secs and then I sniffed her hand.   I sensed that she was a cat lover and everything was fine.

She picked up the feathers on a stick and played with me just as Mommy does.   She did one thing differently, though.   She waved the feather wand over the bathroom door jamb and up I went four feet and slid back down.  I did it a couple more times.   Door jamb jumping is fun!  I think I'll start a new game for kitties called "olympic door jamb jumping"

After Mommy came back from her dinner with Mary, she let me back out my room for more exercise.   I had a fun game of "let's chase Sampy around the house".    For being an old man, he's hard to catch.

Anyway, all in all, yesterday was a very fun day.

Got to go now as Mommy has to eat her breakfast and go to work.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I did pretty well posing while wearing Halloween collars and bandanas.  I didn't do so with the pumpkinhead hat.   I told Mommy to shoot fast as I didn't plan on keeping that thing on my head for very long.   She tried and got all of me except for the top portion of the pumpkinhead.  She wasn't fast enough to capture everything.  Yep, she blew it.

Also, I had longer intro sessions this weekend.   Bail didn't attack me.   I batted his tail a few times while he sat on his foot stool.   Of course, he hissed at me and said his tail wasn't my feather toy.

As to Merl,  we did several nose to nose sniffings, and when I walked away he always bobbed me in the britches.   I don't know what his problem is.

And as to Sampy (my fav), we had good, fun times together.   We had fun boxing matches (front paws to front paws) and a few fast chases around the house.

Anyway, that's my weekend in a nutshell.   I got to go now 'cause Mommy has to take out the trash.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I'm late tonight.  I usually blog around 6:00 a.m.   Today, I decided that I wanted to play with every feather in the house.   I've been grabbing the ones on sticks too and carrying them around in my mouth.   I'm very careful when I do this, so don't worry.

Mommy took a cople pics of me wearing the cowboy bandana.  I didn't like the hat at all.   I pulled it off my head as a matter of fact.

Sooo, I think Mommy's going to photoshop some kind of pirate pic of me like my brothers have on their pages.   Of course, the cowboy bandana one will be added tomorrow and she's thinking of putting the pumpkin head collar on me and taking my pic.

Anyway, one more thing . . . I'm a pillow sleeper.   I don't lay on the bed itself.   I'm on the pillows.   I like how soft and feathery they are.   There you go, I'm feather crazy!

I got to go back to bed now.   Have a pawsome night, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ No, I don't go to school (except for Mommy teaching me a few rules around the house like no jumping upon the stove or tv).

Anyway, I graduated to a BIGGER litterbox as I knocked my smaller one over.   I guess I got carried away when I was trying to bury my treasures!

When Mommy came home, she found my box laying on its side and litter all over the floor.   Luckily there were  no poopies in there yet.

She gave me the biggest litterbox in the house and said, "I bet you can't knock this one over."

UMMMMMM, I thought.   That'll definitely be a challenge.

Well, I got to keep it short this morning as time is running out.   I let my bro, Sampy, do his diary first.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My fav bro got DDP today!    MEOOOOOOOWZA!   He told me that he's gotten DDP before, and it's something to look forward to each month.  If you don't get it for the first month, you're bound to get it the next one.

He told me our Catster friends will give gifts, concats and treats.   Also, sometimes you'll get friend's requests and invites to new groups!  WOWA!  I'm looking forward to that day when I get my first DDP!

As to this morning, I had a total work out, breakfast (one and a half cans of Fancy Feast) and more exercise.   NOW, I'M HUNGRY AGAIN!

Mommy doesn't know where I put all that food.   She's never seen a kitty eat like I do!   She calls me her little "glutton".   WHATEVER, THAT IS!

Anyway, I got to roll.   

Have a purrfect day, my friends,

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was told to keep it short this morning.  Mommy has an 8:00 a.m. doctor's appoinment and the computer has to be turned off soon.

First of all, I thank NAKITA and her family for the lovely, sparkling diamond!  I SIMPLY LOVE IT!!!   They also corralled me and have become our furpals!   WOWZA!

Also, we had a chicken pawty last night.   I had a few yummy pieces and finished off Sampy's and Merl's beef with gravy and asked for more.   I don't know why I eat so much.   I'm alway hungry.  It must be my age!

Lastly, during the chicken pawty, Sampy and I got along, and Merl did okay.   Merl sniffed my tail while I was cruising the leftover stuff from Bail, and I hissed at him.   Of course, he was nice enough not to hiss back.   Now, Bail's a different story as he's still hissing.   At least he stayed put on his foot stool while I was downstairs for almost 1/2 hour.

Well, I got to run.   Have a nice day, my furriends.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy brought up the feathers on a stick to my room when she came home from work.   I was on her bed and she waived the thing way above my head and flapped it like a bird.   I was captivated and flew up in the air about three feet to catch the thing.   I did it again and again and again.  I'M FLYING!!!  She said she wished she had the Van Halen song "Jump" and had taken a video of me to that music.   WHATEVER!   I never heard of Van Halen or the song "Jump".   All I know is KITTIES LIKE ME CAN JUMP!

Also, later on last night, Mommy had some salmon and gave me a couple leftover pieces.   She said we have "salmon pawties" and "chicken pawties" here a lot.   I already had the chicken pawty the other day.   I LOVE SALMON TOO!

As to this morning, I was let out of my room to do a little exploring.   Sampy greeted me with a couple of nose kissies.   HE DID NOT HISS NOR GROWL.  After that, I saw Merl on the top step.   We nose kissed and at first nothing happened, and a minute later, he hissed once.

I went downstairs and Mommy followed.   She brought the kitty teaser with her so I could play and leap down there.   I went into the kitchen and there sat Bail on the foot stool.   That's "his" perch and he sits there every morning peeking out the glass portion of the funny-looking back door.  I walked up to him and sniffed the tip of his fluffy tail which hung almost to the ground.   HE HISSED AT ME!

Of course, Mommy tried to calm him down which worked.   She told him not to be jealouse and petted him.

Of course, I wasn't going to challenge him.   I'm not that kind of kitty.   I love to play and I don't want to fight.

Anyway, my tummy is growling.  It's near my breakfast time.   Got to go!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As you all know, I love feathers!   French for feathers is "plume" also for pen.  Anyway, at 5:15 a.m. I heard Mommy up and about so I started singing.   Soon thereafter, she came in with a thingy that looked like Sampy's tail on a stick with feathers attached to it.

Of course, it wasn't Sampy's tail!   Mommy told me it's called "Plume Crazy" and it was a hand-me-down toy that my brothers never wanted to play with.

I told her, "it's mine now!"   and tore into it!   BOY WAS THAT FUN!  I bunny-kicked it, chewed on it, and jumped at it when Mommy shook it above my head.

Also, yesterday afternoon, I had another photo shoot.   This time I wore ties and a tiger striped collar.   I was a good sport about it too.   Mommy says I'm a male model.   She then tried on the black top hat with the spiderweb band on it that Cammie Rose wore last halloween.   I tilted my head backwards to get the thing off.   I also did the same when she tried to put the pirate's hat on me.   I DON'T DO HATS!    Ties and collars are fine.   I love them.

Anyway, this is my third day inside and my third day blogging.   I'm still a happy cat!

Also, after I had finished playing with the plume crazy thing, there was a knock at my door.   Mommy picked me up and there stood Bailey Gray Cloud with a wide-eyed expression on his face.   Mommy said, "hi Bail".  We walked toward him and he ran down the stairs.   I really can't understand him.   He was a bully to me yesterday and now he's running from me today!

Lastly, while I was still in Mommy's arms, Sampy was in the computer room and she let us do a nose-to-nose.   There was no hissing or growling from either of us.   I did wiggle though.

Well, I got to go now.   Have a pawsome (hey, I'm talking the Catster lingo now!) day.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love being on Catster!   I love blogging!   WOW, this is fun!

So far I have 37 friends.   I also thank the following for their  cool gifts:

1.   Catster Cat for the blue star;
2.  PORK CHOP for the Power of the Paw;
3.  EDGAR, EMILY FELICITY & family for the cool beachball; 
4.  PUMPKIN for the Febreze collar; and
5.  CHAI, LITTLE BIT & SUGAR for the shiny yellow star.

Also, my oldest brother, Sampy and I got invited to a group called THE KIT KIT CLUB by two doggies named DUKE and SIMON! 

THIS IS EXCITING!!!!

Also, as you know, I love feathers.   In fact, I'm pretty rough with them.  I'm known as the feather destroyer!   The cute little colored batch of feathers held together with a rubber base was ripped apart by me last night.   The base of the feather toy has sand in it and when I chewed on the base, the sand poured out of it onto Mommy's pink bedspread.  The feathers were pulled out of the base.   She had to throw away the base and she let me keep the feathers.

There are only three more of those feather toys left.  She has lots of other toys for me.   I have a hard time keeping track of them all.  I know I'll never get bored around here.

Today is my second day in the house and I'm very comfortable.   Mommy told me she doesn't need the Feliway stuff in my room for me to be comfortable.   I haven't hid under the bed the whole time I've been  inside.   She tells me I'm going to be much easier to  work with(heheh, I'm a sociable guy already) than the previous stray named Yingy.

I have a big start already:   I'm neutered, younger, and have not been in the wild for very long.   I love people and other cats (Sampy and Cammie Rose).   Merl is an exception because he's a scary-looking panther close to three times my size.  Bailey Gray Cloud is scary too as he's so fluffy, and it's hard to see how much muscle he's packing.

Anyway, I'm going to wrap it up for now.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As some of you may know, I am the new addition to Sampy's family.  My name is ORLANDO BLUE, Landy for short.   I prefer to be called "Landy" as a matter of fact.

About a week ago, I got caught pillaging the leftovers from Cammie Rose's dish (the mostly outdoors cat of the family).   Of course, I have been doing this a bit before but never was seen until then.

The nice lady started to give me my OWN dish and a bunch of chicken.  From that day on, she had won my heart.   I let her pick me up and pet me.  Of course, it started out with a sniff, and then two sniffs, and some pets.   By mid-week I let her pick me up, and in fact, I ran inside her house on Thursday evening!

I'm now inside and have my own bedroom for my period of adjustment to my new surroundings.

This morning was rather scary for me as I was put into this box with holes and a door on it.   I was then put into this big green thing with wheels on it and was transported to a place that smelled like other animals (mostly dogs).  Various people wearing while jackets were walking around.   I then got taken back into a room where they took me out of the carrier (that's what it's called).   I got weighed, temperature taken (ouch!) and then they stabbed my paw to get some blood so they could test it.   At first, I refused to give them my paw.  Of coure, eventually, they managed to get the blood out of me.

Next, I got carried into another room wherein Mommy joined me.  My heart was listened to (sounded good), two shots were given (ouch), and a pill for worming was given.   I did pretty well when I was given the pill.   I flinched a bit when I got the shots.

All in all here are my stats:

I weigh 9.5 lbs;
They say I'm between 9 months to a year old;
I'm an oriental mix;
And the most shocking and happy news of all, I'M ALREADY NEUTERED!   
Whoever used to own me had that taken care of.   My current Mommy thought I was much younger (5-6 months old) and hadn't fully grown my equipment.  Oh, how wrong she was!

Also here's more good news,   I don't have those terrible diseases such as FELV and FIV!

I'm a HAPPY CAT and I've decided list my diary as such:  Diary of a Happy Guy.

Also, I love to play and boy did I have a good time flinging around two mousies, a feather toy, and crinkle butterfly.  I also jumped for the feathers on a stick and got into a bit of mischief such as knocking  some picture frames on Mommy's dresser face down.

Lastly, I got to meet Bailey Gray Cloud (from a comfortable distance of course).   Mommy still held me while she introduced us.   She didn't let us get close as it's too soon for that.

Anyway, I need to take a nappy as I've had a very busy day.

I'm happy now as I have a roof over my head to keep me dry when it rains or snows.
