Bailey's thoughts

But I don't want a new sister

Mom has been telling me that we're getting a new baby sister. She showed me a picture on the computer today. I didn't want to look. I'm the baby!!! What do we need a new kitten for? This baby is 2 weeks old and she's not even big enough to walk yet and her fur is all white 'cause the color points haven't come in yet. I have such pretty colors and I was born that way. I am the bestest kitty. Why would anybody want one more? She has the same mama kitty as Allie and the same daddy kitty as both of us. I guess she really is our sister but I still don't want to share my Mom or her lap with one more kitty. I only have 6 more weeks to convince Mom that it's a really bad idea. I think I will go climb up the window screens again to remind her what kitties can get into. Or maybe knock over the plant stand or take the placemats off the table. And Mom says that when the baby comes I can't bite her and I can only fight with Allie. That doesn't seem fair. Allie bit me lots when I first came home. And she beat me up for a week. She would pin me down and bite until I cried for Mom. How come I don't get to be the big bad sister this time? It's my turn!!

One of Today's Picks on Diary Central!! YAY!!!

What a big honor for such a little girl! I'm not even quite 4 months old and my diary is getting special attention! I've just been trying to write about everything new that I learn and do so I won't forget about it when I'm a big girl. But Daddy didn't know about my diary until today and now he thinks my momma is crazy!! Maybe he didn't know that she lets me use the computer. I'm sure he has seen the picture of me playing with the mouse. What did he think I was doing? It's not like I thought it was a real mouse. Mommy doesn't let those in the house. I was just writing in my diary. I hope he doesn't think she's too crazy so we can still get that new kitten at Christmas. I want a baby sister so I don't have to be the littlest anymore. I need somebody to blame for everything! I mean, we all know that Allie doesn't do anything wrong. So I get accused of all sorts of things. Just because Mom caught me on the kitchen table doesn't mean I actually do that all of the time. Does it? Allie has zero talent for getting into trouble anyway. A little while ago I ran into the living room and jumped up on the coffee table to see what Mommy had to drink in her glass. Allie tried to jump up too and... splat...she fell back down. That's all right Allie. You just sit there and look pretty. Leave the fun stuff up to us experts. It has been a little chilly lately at night. So I have been sleeping as close to Mommy as I can to keep warm. Sometimes I climb right up on her and go back to sleep. She gets kinda mad when she wakes up with my butt in her face so I just PURR. Purrs cure everything. No matter what I do, I can make it all better with my purrs. (Maybe if Mom would use some mouthwash, I would snuggle her with her my face instead of my butt.) We're going to the vet tomorrow. It's for my 12 week check-up and this time I get a rabies shot. I think that means that now I get to bite anybody I want to. I can't wait!

Yay! I emptied the garbage all by myself.

Today I saw Mommy take out the garbage in the kitchen. She took the bag and went outside with it. I just knew that I could help. So I went upstairs and emptied the bathroom garbage for her. All over the floor! Surprise Mommy!!! Hmmm...she doesn't seem happy. I don't get it. See if I help her again!

Then me and Allie got brushed. Stupid Allie just lays there and purrs like she likes it or something. Mom has to hold me down if she wants to brush me. Tee hee! I'm not making it that easy.

I'm still hearing some kind of rumor about getting a new baby sister kitten at Christmastime. Mom's not sure if we need another kitten because I'm such a handful. But this kitten will have the same kitty-momma as Allie so she's hoping she will be quiet and "perfect" like the little princess Allie. C'mon, I'm the fun kid around here. Who needs another sister like miss perfect Allie making me look bad?

Gotta run. Allie is using the litterbox and I have to go watch her. And I'm climbing in. This looks like a 2 kitty project to me!
