		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh my Catness!!! I can't believe it! This has been such a pawsome day! I'm so delightfully honoured to have been chosen to be a Dreamboat by the beautiful Samoa! It just made my whole day....maybe week!...or heck, even month! 

Thank you Samoa. I am humbled.

In more news, 
The *Kewlest Catster Kitties* group is having fun with Valentine's Day Secret Admirers. I have received Red Lips and Red Hearts, some special words, and a pawsome Valentine picture with my photo in it! I don't know who this girl kitty could be, but I'm sure she is beautiful and really special. I can't wait to find out on February 14th! 

It has been 8 months now since my Bridge Date. Mom still has a little trouble working on my page, she still gets teary-eyed.
She had no idea how much she would be missing me. I did - cause I knew how much she loved me.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night I came to mom in a dream. 

I showed up at her doorstep a kitten again. She let me in and then I became old again. One minute I was a kitten, and the next I was old and dying. She had to learn to lose me again. To let me go. After that I stayed with her as a kitten, to live my life with her all over again.

I think she understood the dream. I want her to grieve for me, but also to move on. She has to let me go, to be able to love again. Maybe a new kitten is on the way, or she just needs to be able to give all the love she has to Mugsy. 

I will do my best to get her prayers answered.

Purrs from the Bridge.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I wrote this just for you mom. I hope you like it.

I know you loved me mommy
  you told me everyday
For 18 years I had a home
  and a nice soft bed to lay

I came to you a ball of energy
  and brought you so much joy
"You're quite the handful" you would say
  my squeeky little boy!

The days and nights went by quite nice
  when troubles arose with my peeing
Something you knew was not quite right
  a glitch in my well being

You tried for years to "fix" me
  and excused me for my manners
As time went on, and years went by
  it got worse instead of better

You had to make that choice for me
  that later felt so wrong
Dear God, you prayed, have I betrayed
  my friend I've had so long?

I see your pain and emptiness mom
  please dry your eyes for me
My body's new and young again
  I'm stress and worry free

You have Mugsy there for comforting
  she will stick to you like glue
I whispered gently in her ear
  to give my love to you

So now I'll wait at Rainbow Bridge
   your return when Heaven sings
I'll fly to you, your Honey Boy
  in my brilliant golden wings!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Tribute To A Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane
unto a spot on the floor....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie,
but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet,
and muted echoes sound....
then I remember,
It's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road,  
and up beyond the hill,
then I remember it can't be yours....
your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor
and empty muted hall
and lay them with the absent voice
and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memorials
in a blanket of my love
and keep them for my best friend
until we meet above.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello everyone,

Taffy's mom here. 

I am very distraught over the decision to have Taffy put to sleep this Tuesday morning. In the past few years, he has been urinating outside the litter box. Recently it's just been getting worse and worse. I have tried everything I can think of to discourage this behaviour. Some things have worked but only for a little while. There is nothing medically wrong with him (I've had him checked out) and I know it's behaviour issues. It's getting harder to keep the smell away, and my husband has had enough. 

We have had him for 18 years, and I've loved him all 18, despite his "accidents." All I can do now is give him so much love until the time is here...

I am feeling sick about this! When the time comes I don't know if I'll be able to go through with it. I know 18 years is a long time for a cat, but when it's yours, you always wish they'll live forever. 

This is killing me. Please someone tell me that what I'm doing isn't horrible! Because It feels like I'm the worst cat parent in the world!

I love you Taffy...my Honey Boy.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh dear, I can't believe it's been so long since I posted anything in my Diary. I guess I've been sleeping more than I thought!

It's starting to warm up here, so I am getting outside more often again. I love the feel of the nice warm breeze on my fur. I think mom has some extra special treats and catnip planned for me today. 

I will have a great day today, even though I nap about 20 hours a day (what do you expect...I'm an Olde Furt!) Thank you to all of you who send me treats and Birthday wishes!
Purrs, Taffy]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ My Birthday was on May 5th, and I recieved a bunch of treats, rosettes and stars from some very nice kitties, and I felt so honored!  Mom gave me catnip (which I LOVE) and I got to go outside for a while in the nice warm sun. Then of course I had an extra long nap, 'cause I'm 14 now ya know!

Yesterday, mom took me and Mugsy to the Vet's for our check-ups and rabies shots. I was a real good boy of course, and I got a good bill of health! So I'm ready to go for another year, mom is so happy!  

Oh I forgot to mention, Mugsy peed in her carrier case on the way to the Vets. Tee hee!  I thought it was funny, 'cause it wasn't me having accidents this time!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Meow everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.  From mom I got a water fountain and I just love it!  Now she doesn't have to turn on the tap for me any more.  Santa Paws gave us treats and catnip.  He knows I just LOVE catnip!  Hugs and kisses were in the agenda the whole holiday season, and what is better than cuddling in a warm blanket with someone who loves you!
I'm talking about mom, not Mugsy!

I wish a year full of love and happiness for all my kitty friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I just had too much fun this summer, mom let me outside more often than usual.  She even took me for the odd walk, Wow that was fun!!!  I am mostly tied to something like the clothes line or a tree.  I'm not allowed off my leash. Mom says it's for my own good.  But as long as I have ground under my feet and can smell the good outdoors, I am a very Happy Cat!  At my age, it's just nice to lay around in the sunshine, and under shade trees.  But now I can feel the cold, and I am not fond of that at all!  As long as I have a window to sit and look out of, it's fine by me.  Ahh....to be in the warm!
Every cat have a "Happy Halloween!"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A friend picked you out for me because they knew I wanted an orange cat. As soon as I saw you I knew you were perfect.  Big blue eyes, and the loudest most adorable squeeky purr I ever heard. I took you home and Wow, what a handful! You were the most playful cat I ever knew, just into everything! But you also knew how to be sweet and snuggly. You have been with me now for 13 years, and I am so grateful.  We have been through so much together.  Good times and bad, and I'm so glad I had you for both. I pray that you are with me and purring loudly for many more years my Honey Boy!

Love, Mommy]]></content:encoded>

I am getting older you know, and I'm not as spry as I used to be.  I'm so glad it's spring, I've been going outside a lot lately just taking in all the fresh air.  Well, it's back to napping.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mom and dad had all kinds of guests here on saturday.  Normally I don't like a lot of humans around, but this year it was kinda fun!  They gave me catnip, and watched as Mugsy and I fought over it, everyone was laughing at us, but I didn't care because I had my catnip!  All day I walked around and in between the humans, every once in a while someone would pet me.  Mom and dad couldn't believe that I showed myself so much instead of hiding, but I really feel like I've mellowed out the last couple of years.  

Anyway, I hope all the Catsters here have a wonderful holiday with lots of  love and purrs.   "Merry Christmas to you all"]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Hello there everyone!  I have missed writing in my diary.  The days are getting longer here, which means longer naps, warmer blankets and less sunshine.  Christmas is just around the corner though, and that will give me stuff to do, with all the fancy garland and decorations mom hangs up, I have a ball.  Not to mention the tree!  She keeps asking me what I want this year, but it's always the same.  More catnip, treats and lots of lovin'.  'Cause I'm just that kind of boy.  I will lie under the tree and dream of catnip filled pillows, kisses from mom, and cuddling up with my sweetheart Sydney.

Hmmm, I have made myself want to have a nap now.  I will write back soon agian. Purrr....purrr....purrr....zzzzzzzzzz.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Well I did it!  I made it to the Vet's and came home in one piece.  They put me out for my teeth cleaning, but afterwards I wasn't even that drowsy, and my teeth didn't even hurt very much.  The Vet told mom that I was a happy cat, because I was purring when she gave me back, and I purred all the way home.
The only thing I hate is the pills I have to take.  Mom says I'm pretty good at taking them though.  It's because I am mellower in my older age.  My blood tests also showed no signs of disease or organ failure.  I am good to go!  I am a good boy!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Ho hum, just another day in the life of an aging cat.  Mom's surprised by how much I stay awake lately.  Although I am outside alot more now, since it's cooled down.  Mom hooks my leash on the clothes line so I can run up and down the lawn. Thing is I always get wrapped around the trees or the moonrays in the flower beds, so she has to watch me alot.  I peed in daddy's shoes twice last week. Hee hee.  He didn't think it was funny.  I heard mommy telling him she's making an appointment for me to go to the vets.  Now I'm scared.  I will cuddle up to mom more and maybe she won't take me?  I will let you all know what has happened to me.  I may need some purr therapy!]]></content:encoded>

Mugsy can go wherever she wants and I have to stay in one spot.  Mommy says it's for the best 'cause I wander way to much.  I don't stay on the property and I don't get along with the other cats.  Oh well, I'm used to it and sometimes mommy takes me for walks.  I don't have to be out for long and I'm pooped!!!  Guess that comes with old age.   Ah well, I like my naps just as much!]]></content:encoded>

It was so comfy in there I purred all the way to the vet's and back home again.  I kept close to mommy in the office, I'll admit it, I'm a sucky boy.  But it wasn't that bad at all.  I'm really mellowing out in my old age.  I should have tried this years ago!!!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Today mommy showed me my page on Catster and all the pictures she has of me.  Sometimes Mugsy gets more attention than me, but we still have our own time that we spend together.  She likes to hug and cuddle me.  I guess it's because I like to sleep so much, but guess what?  I'm old.  It's what I do best!  Maybe she was smoothing me over because she took Mugsy to the Vets today, and I'm going to be next!  I'll be a grumpy boy for sure.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I love the new blanket mommy got me for Christmas.  Everyday she lets me have a bit of catnip too and some left over treats.  I was surprised to find out that I was picked for Cat of the Week!!  Now I am enjoying meeting lots of other kitties and making friends!! Mommy must like it too, 'cause she keeps hugging me and bragging about me.  It's what mommies do I guess.  I'm a lucky boy!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ This is my favorite time of year!  I have already opened my presents and got just what I wanted.  Catnip!  Ohhh, how it makes me so happy I just purr and purr!  Then out comes a warm and cosy blanket.  What more could I ask for?  The wrapping paper is fun too, and the treats I got (but I have to share them with Mugsy) Bah humbug!  Now I'm going to have my first meal of the day, Fancy Feast sliced turkey in gravy.  YES, This is my favorite time of year!]]></content:encoded>
