		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday we had two surprises.  First, Mommy found a package in the mail!  It was from Friday and his family   They sent me and Tiny some toys for iur birthdays!  We got a package ofSkitter Critter mice, which are my favorite mice ever.  And we got two Yeoww!  Catnip tuna fishies!  That's the best catnip I ever had.  Mommy took a picture of me playing with one of my mice.  She will try to take one of Tiny, but he spends a lot of time begging near his dish and not a lot of time playing.  Thank you, Friday!  We love our presents!

The second surprise was that Marmelade's mom sent us this wonderful background to help celebrate the Fourth of July and summer!  I think it looks really cool.  And Flag Day is this week, so it's perfect timing for us to wave the stars and stripes!  

Thank you both again!  You are wonderful friends!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Last night, I heard noises in my yard.  I went to the window to take a look.  Earlier, Mommy threw out leftover popcorn, thinking the squirrels would eat it in the morning.  But it sounded like something was eating it now.  It  was 11 PM, and it was no squirrel eating that popcorn. It was a SKUNK!  But he didn't look like an ordinary skunk.  He has fur that looked striped, almost like me!  But these were diluted stripes.  And the top of his head was pure white!  I have to say, he was a pretty skunk.  Mommy said they make good pets if you take the scent glands out.  I hope she doesn't get any ideas!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I can't believe I'm five years old today!  Mommy didn't see me for the first time until I was about a month old.  She always wonders what I looked liked when I was born.  She says I was a cute kitten though.

I am happy to celebrate my birthday with my Catster friends.  Let's party!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Oh boy!  Spring is in full gear and summer is around the corner.  How do U know?  Chuckie's back!  Oh, Chuckie is my neighborhood groundhog.  Actually, I don't know if this is the same Chuckie.  My old Chuckie had two great big teeth on his bottom jaw.  This Chuckie doesn't have them.  Plus he's got a little tail.  And he's not that fat yet.  But I'm going to call him Chuckie anyway.

I also saw a bluejay on the fence this morning.  He was so handsome, but he squawks loud.  There have been tons of birds outside.  I love to chatter at them.  I have no idea what I'd do if one came near me for real.  I might be scared.  I asked Tiny, and he doesn't know either.  He saw birds up close when he was little, but he forgets what he did when one came close to him.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ If you would like to plar, just copy my diary, change my answers to yours, and tag five furiends!

Five things I love about Spring:

1.  The birds are back!
2.  I can look outside at the front door or back door because it might be warm enough to have                 
      them opened.
3.  Feeling a warm breeze when the windows are open.
4.  Sleeping in sun patches in my den.
5.  Looking out for possums at dusk.

I tag:

1.  Friday
2.  Sleeper
3. Athena
4.  Skylar
5.  Tate]]></content:encoded>

Marmelade's mom did the code to change my background for spring.  My Mommy is clueless about these things.  I'm lucky Mommy knows how to upload a picture!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A year ago today, Beauty went to the Rainbow Bridge.  It seems like yesterday.  We all miss her so much.  I remember how she didn't like me too much when I came inside, but we became good friends.  She and Tiny made me feel at home.  Beauty loved attention.  She loved grandmom the best of all people.  She had 17 happy years where she was safe and loved.  She will never be forgotten.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy had a salad with tuna for dinner tonight.  I strolled into the kitchen and went to my dish to eat, then had a drink.  I never beg for table food, but something sure smelled yummy.  Then I saw, on the kitchen counter, the rest of the tuna.  It was still in the can.  Very quietly, I jumped up and helped myself.  I thought I was in the clear, but as I was licking my lips I saw Mommy watching me!  She must have heard me jump down.  This is the first time I ever stole food.  Mommy then gave some to me and Tiny.  I usually refuse tuna when Mommy offers it, but today I couldn't resist.  The rest of the tuna was put away for me and Tiny to share tomorrow.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have had a great holiday!  Santa came and gave me lots of presents!  I got toys shaped like shrimp cocktail stuffed full of catnip.  And another set of toys shaped like sushi in a little ventilate box.  I also got mice that look like Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  They are lots of fun.  Best of all, Mommy is on vacation, so I can nap with her in the morning.  Mommy has been busy though so we haven't had a lot of time to play on Catster.  We have had some company.  Tiny goes right to that company to get petted.  I hide.  They don't even know I am there.  Today it snowed a little so I got to see how pretty my yard looks.  I think my critters outside hide when it's cold too.  I hope they come back so I can wish them Happy New Year!]]></content:encoded>

Mommy says she got the best present...Tiny had his checkup, and he's doing well!  The vet is giving him Prednisone for his arthritis.  She said his blood work is excellent for a cat his age.  Mommy is so happy!

We hope Santa brings you lots of treats as well as happiness for your families.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Christmas is the best time of the year.  My favorite part is the tree.  My tree smells so good and has so many pretty lights on it.  And best of all, it's covered in TOYS!  Mommy said I can't play with those toys though and she stops me when I want to get one.  I don't think that's fair.  Me and Tiny love to lay down underneath of it.  I love to play with the tree skirt.  I had a tree last year too, but then one day it was gone.  I wonder if I'll get to keep this one?]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Mommy wanted to start using a new vet.  The vet we currently go to is a half hour away.  Tiny went for a followup visit to have his thyroid checked and to have the vet look at his legs in September.  He wound up with a lot of extra tests, like another senior screen, and the vet wanted him to be locked in the basement overnight to get a morning urine sample, even though that wasn't a problem and his tests were fine.  And, the vet he usually saw wasn't there anymore.  The office wouldn't say where she was, either.  So Mommy said it's time to go somewhere else.

Today Mommy was working at an agency close to home.  There's a vet's office right next door.  After work, she went to check it out.  When she asked them to call the other office, the vet who was there asked if we saw Dr. Decker.  Mommy asked why, and the vet said she works there!  Mommy is so happy!  Tiny has an appointment  on Christmas Eve.  Please purr that he has a good appointment.  Mommy hopes he can get medicine to help his arthritis.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day and Gotcha Day today.  I spent the day helping put up some Christmas decorations.  There were all kinds of things coming out of storage.  Lots of sparkly things!  Things with bells!  THINGS!!!!!  I couldn't even nap, I was so excited!  Tiny went to sleep though.  Can you believe it???  I don't know how he could want to miss out on all the excitement.  But just when my day couldn't get any better, out comes the vacuum!  I had to hide for a while, but not too long.  I'm a big boy now and I had to show Mommy how brave I am.  Oh, and I got tons of treats and kisses.  All in all, a fabulous day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have a lot to be thankful for this year.  It's my fourth gotcha day coming up.  I almost didn't get to my first gotcha day. When I lived outside with my catmommy and siblings, the man who lives down the street, who used to be Mommy's friend, caught me in a trap and took me someplace scary!  Then the next thing I knew, I was back in the trap, and getting into another car, with the nice lady who used to feed us and her husband.  Then I was with my Mommy!  Then I was in another car!  Then a strange man looked in my eyes and ears and listened to my heart!  Mommy tried to tell him I was six months old, but that man said no, I was younger, and he couldn't "fix" me yet!  WHAT WAS GOING ON???  Then all of a sudden, I was back in the car, and then I was in another strange place, only this time Mommy was there!  Oh, how I hid!  I hid for days, it seemed!  I only came out when Mommy was close by.  

Eventually, I calmed down.  Little by little, I put together the pieces of what happened to me.  The man down the street had me in a trap, and instead of taking me to the PetSmarts or to any one of the other places everyone talked about, he took me to the Bensalem Women's Humane Society!  I wasn't supposed to go anywhere to begin with, but this is what happened.  The lady who used to feed me found out and was furious.  She made her husband take her to pick me up from there.  When they called on the phone, the lady who answered the phone told her they had to hurry up, because it was almost closing time.  If they didn't get there, it would be too late.  The next morning I was going to be...be...OMC I can't even think of it!!!!  All this happened while Mommy was at work.  She came home, and there I was in the cage.  Mommy took me to the vet, and the rest is history.

It was such a traumatic gotcha day.  But this year I found out a really sad story involving the same neighbors who took me to that bad place.  

There was a little furbaby who used to live in the neighborhood.  Her name was Patches.  Patches was a beautiful girl.  Sometimes she came to my deck to visit with me and Tiny.  But Patches loved our neighbor and used to stay on their front step in a shelter when the weather got cold.  They would feed her and make sure she had water.  

A few weeks ago, the neighbors made Patches come to live inside. We were so excited!  Mommy asked the people who rescued me about how Patches was doing.  Mommy was sorry she did.  Those people took Patches in the house, and after a week she wasn't adjusting to the house, so the woman took her to the vet, and the vet said it's not likely she will ever get used to being inside, and after probably not much discussion, they sent Patches to the Rainbow Bridge!  THOSE PEOPLE are IDIOTS!!!!  How could that poor girl adjust in a week?  They should have had her fixed and let her continue to live outside.  There aren't any stray animals where we live, except for some possums and squirrels, so she would have been perfectly safe.  Patches deserved to be loved and to be safe.  She didn't deserve to leave because somebody didn't like the amount of affection she was confortable giving, or not giving as the case may be.  

All kitties who have been lucky enough to live in a warm house with food to eat and someone to love them have a lot to be thankful for.  Just to know that someone cares for you is the best feeling of all.  Even better than Fancy Feast!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ It's very hard for Mommy to talk about Beauty without crying.  Beauty went to the Bridge in March of this  year, which isn't very long ago.  She was a very special girl to everyone who knew her.  She especially loved her grandmom.  Beauty must have lived with a family before coming insidebecause she was litter trained and had house manners.  Beauty never even tried to go outside once she came inside and wouldn't have been allowed anyway!  She was always ladylike and loved to be groomed  she was never fussy, never destructive, never asked for anything other than love.  We are very sad that she isn't here, but know she is with us in our hearts every day.  Again, deepest thanks for remembering her today.]]></content:encoded>

Thank you all for helping Tiny celebrate his gotcha day.  He is starting to feel his age some.  Lately his arthritis is acting up.  He loves to eat though.  He used to be a fatty but now he's a good weight.  Mommy says we both like to eat because we are Italian!
..
Last night I watched Jay Leno.  I usually don't care who is on.  Mommy only puts it on when she doesn't have to woe the next day anyway.  Last night though, there were animals!  And best of all, Big Cats!!!  There was a snow leopard and a white Bengal tiger.  And guess what else?  They liked getting belly rubs and head scratches just like us little cats!   I was so amazed!  Mommy said they were pretty but I couldn't have one to play with.  But today I will get extra treats to celebrate my diary pick.]]></content:encoded>

Mommy went shopping with grandmom today and bought food for me and Tiny.  I guess food for humans, too, but I don't know why they don't eat Fancy Feast.  We have a new roof on our house so we should stay warm and dry.  I am hoping that all of my friends who live in other parts of Pennsylvania, New Jerey, Maryland, Conneticut and Massachusetts stay safe.

It has been rainly and nasty for a few days.  That means the squirrels and birds are staying out of sight.  I have been getting a lot of rest because of it, and so has Tiny.  I'ts also been very warm, and the air conditioner in our house has been on, so I can't even sit in the window and look for the birds the way I like to.

Then I burrowed under it.  Then I got on it and I took a nap.  I've been on it ever since.  I love it!  I do like to share though, so when Tiny wants a turn we will lay on it together.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thank you, HQ!  I think me and Tiny will have a party tonight with treats and catnip.  

I guess I should take the time to talk about my week.  It has been raining for a few days, so all of my favorite backyard critters have been missing in action.  Maybe I scared them off?  I hope not!  

One night last week, there was a guest on my back deck.  A strange cat!  I think it was a kitten, really, but I can't be sure because I only saw his head.  When I saw him, I jumped straight up at the screen door.  Mommy said I looked like one of those Garfleld dolls that people put on car windows.  I don't know though.  I have only ever seen a few cars, so I don't know what Mommy is talking about.  Anyway, I jumped at that stranger, and I bushed my tail out, and he ran!  I hope he's okay.  I hope he has a family to live with and they won't let him outside anymore.

For the past two days, I've had a bad case of the crazies.  Have any of you cats ever had the crazies?  That's where you run around the house like a maniac at full speed, then stop all of a sudden to catch your breath, then do it again?  I jumped on Tiny, hoping he would get the crazies too, but no luck.  He just wrestled with me for a minute, then he took a nap.  Boy, not long ago, he used to run around with me all the time, but since he went to the vet for his thyroid, he doesn't do that anymore.  I don't know what a thyroid is, but that's what Mommy says.  All I know is he never gets the crazies anymore.  Last night I was so tired from running around all day, I fell asleep in Mommy's bed right away.  I think I will nap while Mommy is at work so I will be wide awake when she comes home.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The other day, I found a cricket.  It crawled its way under my screen door somehow.  I ran and jumped with it.  It was so mucch fun!  Then Mommy saw it and she killed it!  I couldn't believe it!  She gives me everything I want but not a cricket.

Yesterday I found another one.  It was halfway under the door.  My granddad held me while Mommy went and got that already dead and stuck in the door cricket and kicked it outside.  I squirmed away from granddad in the process.  Poor granddad got scratched but I didn't mean it.  He forgave me and still let me sit in his lap. 

Today I waited and waited.  No cricket.  No even a dead one.  I guess Mommy scared them off.  I really really really hope I find another one.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I was featured in diary central again today!  Who would have ever thought anyone would want to read my innermost thoughts?  I haven't even had much to say lately.  It's been quiet this week, thank goodness.

I am excited though because my mommy is on vacation this week.  That means me and Tiny can spend more time with her.  She was out all day today though.  What do people do all day outside?  She doesn't even bring us back a bird!  She does come back some days with a big bag of Fancy Feast, and today was one of those days!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Thanks, HQ!  Mommy just found out.  She was very busy this weekend.  One of her best friends lost her husband, and everyone was sad. It was a very hard time.  Of course, I did my best to cheer her up by.giving hugs and kisses.

I have been getting a lot of rest lately.  It's been so hot, the birds and the squirrels and the birds have been keeping a low profile.  Me and Tiny are looking forward to cooler weather.]]></content:encoded>

Then she tells me how she played with this one neighbor cat named Oreo while she was there.  Me and Tiny decided we wouldn't let her see how much it bothered us.  I guess those cats have to eat too though.  And I guess I would want someone to play with me, too.  And I hear this Oreo is fatter than me and needs the excercize.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Yesterday I was at the window looking outside, and I saw a neighbor cat outside in a big cage.  My Grandmom was talking to the neighbor cat's person, who said that the cat and the dog had fleas and she had given them flea treatment.  The person didn't want to take her cat to the vet for a flea dip, and when Grandmom suggested she get a flea comb to use after the treatment, the person said "Do you know what that costs?"  Imagine, someone not wanting to buy a flea comb because it cost too much!  Not someone who doesn't have six dollars, but someone who doesn't love their cat enough to spend six dollars!  

The worst is though, the person wants to get rid of her cat because they have a dog now and they say the cat stays in the basement all the time.  I know Mommy said she watched their cat once when they were on vacation, and the cat was down the basement and there was no dog!  The neighbor cat is older, and they are okay with just giving her away like she was a shoe that didn't fit!  Would she give away one of her kids?  Mommy can't take in another cat right now.  Someone will take her, and I sure hope that whoever does will appreciate how special she is!  

Some people really don't deserve to have any cats!  Or dogs either!  Shame on them!]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Four years ago today, I was found.   It was about 4 pm.  Mommy saw a young cat outside.  That cat was my cat mommy.  A few months before, people in the house fown the street were evicted and left all their cats behind.  My mommy must have been one of them.  Anyway. Mommy followed her and saw that she went in the abandoned yard.  Mommy took her food.  Then she saw there were kittens!  It was me and my four siblings.  We were very little, and so scared!  My cat mommy wasn't friendly, but she was hungry, so she ate the food and was able to feed us then.

I was too small really to know what was going on.  I only know that we went to live in the yard next to Mommy's yard.  My cat mommy still had to feed us.  No one wanted us to leave the yard because something BAD would happen to us.  I have to say, I had a marvelous kittenhood those first few months.  We were safe, we had plenty to ear, and lots of time to play.  It took a long time for me to trust people, but I am so glad I finally did.  

There's more to my story, but right now I'm too tired to tell it.  I'm taking a nap in Mommy's lap right now.  What a great was to start off my special day.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I have been sooooo busy lately.  There are critters in my backyard!  I have been in one window or another, not to mention thhe bamck door, for weeks.  In the morning, there's the birds.  Plus squirrels.  They eat, they play with each other, they fly.  Sometimes they take a bath.  Then at night, there's fireflies.  And possums!  I go to sleep at night when my eyes can't stay open anymore.  My mommy is getting jealous of my attention being compromised, but I just can't help myself.]]></content:encoded>

Tiny is handsome, too.  His fur is longer than mine.  Tiny used to be a LOT fatter than me.  He is gaining weight and getting back into shape.]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[ I am mourning the passing of my beloved grandmom, Beauty.  She was 17 years young.  She was such a good grandmom.  She let me sleep with her and she always shared her toys.  I used to love to kiss her head.  Mommy said she had a tumor that was taken out.  I thought she would be better and at first she was but then she started to hide all the time.  Then one day she just left me.  I put one of my toys in her favorite spot in case she should come back one day.  I will never forget you, grandmom!

Just as I was getting over this hurdle, I started to notice that Tiny was getting extra skinny.  And extra playful!  I knew he was on a diet, but I think he went overboard because now when we wrestle I can take him down with one paw.  I mean, it's not even fun anymore.  So one day Mommy put him in the thing that looks like a cage and a few hours later he came back.  Of course, I hid for a long time in case they were thinking of putting me in that thing, but once I came out I realized Tiny was none the worse for his outing.  But, for the past week or so he has been getting something extra every morning and night, and after we both get treats.  I heard Mommy say something about will Tiny will pack on more pounds, blah blah blah, but once the bag of treats came out I stopped listening.

I have decided that from now on I will only eat grilled or roasted Fancy Feast.  And I will only eat certain flavors on certain days, but I am keeping that information to myself.]]></content:encoded>
