My First Diary!

IT'S OFFICIAL: I'M AN OLD LADY

*sigh
I haven't been feeling well lately. I don't know what's been wrong, but I just haven't felt much like eating or playing...I wasn't too concerned until my Daddy came home yesterday and picked me up. I could tell that he was VERY upset--I heard him tell Chris that I'd lost quite a lot of weight. Normally, it's not a big deal for a lady [especially one as elegant as I] to drop a bit of girth, but apparently I've lost a bit too much for my daddy to feel comfortable with.

Daddy was quite sad...he offered me milk, water, even tuna! But I just didn't feel like eating. Then he looked up some information on the internet, made a phone call, and then gave me to most VILE tasting stuff he called "medicine". It tasted more like melted dog doodie than anything! Even after he gave me that horrible stuff, Daddy was still very sad. He spent a lot of time holding me and telling me that I'm his little girl and he didn't want me to leave him! It was quite touching, but honestly...Daddy can be such a sap at times! As if I would ever leave him! I've had it wayyyy too good here for these last 11 years! Why, I've never even so much as had to LOOK at a mouse...much less EAT one for survival!

I do have to admit that I am feeling MUCH better today after another dose of the horrible tasting "medicine". I've found myself getting hungry again and actually eating--Daddy has fed me milk with my regular food, some tuna, and I've been able to drink water. I even felt like playing a bit....but Daddy is beginning to get on my nerves. He's been hovering over me all day and night, telling me he wants to "keep an eye on me..."

Humans!

I'm Back Too!

Dogs are such silly creatures. My brother Sammy was tapping away on the computer and I wanted to get on, but he wouldn't let me! So I pretended to be our daddy and scared that silly mutt off of the computer!

So much has happened since my last entry here that I hardly know where to begin. First of all, I'm a bit older, but as beautiful as ever. I know this because everyone who comes to visit my daddy tells him so! They proclaim that I am the most beautiful cat they've ever seen! Sometimes humans ARE smarter than they look! Secondly, I have ventured outside once since my last entry. It was not fun. I wasn't on the back porch five seconds before the most HIDEOUS creature (I believe daddy called it a "bug") crawled right towards me!! I hardly knew what to do! Surely if this ghastly being would have come any closer, he would have devoured me for his dinner....so I turned around and fled back into the safety of my house. I really do NOT see what appeals to humans to leave the comfort of a house every day. I mean really...there are all sorts of vile things "outside"...such as bugs, spiders, birds, and most especially: DOGS!! The third thing that happened since my last entry was my daddy forgetting to fill my food dish one night.

I was INFURIATED. I started to get a bite to eat one evening and to my horror, I found that I could see the bottom of my dish! This is UNacceptable and my daddy knows it! If you can believe this, he actually thinks that I should eat the food surrounding the area where I can see the bottom of the dish! Have you EVER heard anything so REPULSIVE in your LIFE?! I instantly marched myself into the living room where daddy was watching the box with little people in it...something he does quite often...and I jumped onto his lap. He started to pet me, but he made NO attempt to get up and fill my dish!! I knew I had to take drastic measures, so I swatted at him with my paw...darn him though....he had my front claws removed a few years ago, so all he did was laugh at me! Well, finally I just flicked my tail at him and started walking back to MY room. He finally got the hint and asked me if I needed food. Humans are SO stupid sometimes!

Well, I hear my daddy coming...or is that Sammy trying to trick me?

So Much to Do

Well, it's been quite a while since I've written anything in my diary...but that is not entirely my fault. My daddy has been home a lot lately and I haven't been afforded much of a chance to get on the computer undetected! Today is different though!

My daddy is going out of town for the weekend! I've already sent out the invitations to all of the kitties in the neighborhood to come over this evening for some fun...I plan to serve fresh tuna from the can and plenty of milk! Of course, I have to figure out how to operate that thing daddy uses to open the can first!

My brother Sammy (that measley mutt!) has already told me that if I have a party he is going to tell on me when my daddy gets home on Sunday! I'll have to make sure that I lock him in his kennel to avoid that from happening!
