10:09 pm	my people are good They came home today with a new little cat house for me that I can scratch on, sit on, climb into, whatever I want. It's bigger than my old one, and they sprinled fresh catnip all over it for me! They also got me a new water bowl and I hear a new cat dancer, which is my favorite toy. My old one is all torn to little pieces, so I can't wait for mommy to break out the new one! They love me. :) (Comment on this)

12:39 pm	how to wake the humans without getting them angry at you: 1. Stand next to their ears and purr loudly 2. When they open their eyes, give them kisses 3. When they try to go back to sleep, snuggle with them, but don't be too snuggley - move around and shift positions a lot 4. If you have more than one human, and they go to sleepily snuggle eachother, play Cat of the Hill and stand on top of them, continually purring loudly and generally being very cute This tactic takes longer than the howling and smacking them in the face strategy, but they will be more likely to actually give you what you want without getting upset with you.

4:18 pm	Meow, world Mommy has been hogging the computer, but finally someone commented on my last post and mommy decided to let me update again. They switched my food. I keep yelling at them that I want the old food again, but they don't listen to me. Mommy keeps holding me down and putting these drops in my eyes. It all started after they took me to the evil place where the strange man poked at me all over. They do make my eyes feel better, so I don't fight her off when she puts them in. But I still don't like it. Daddy has stopped eating chicken, so I never get chicken anymore. I get lots of snuggles, though. I snuggle with my mommy lots during the day and take my nap with daddy every evening. And I take my mommy outside every day and roll around in the sunshine. Lately, they've been opening the windows and doors more often, too, so I get to sit in the windows and look outside a lot. Life is okay. (15 Comments |Comment on this)

6:29 pm	Mommy learned tow important things today: 1. No toy will ever please me as much as the Cat Dancer. 2. I really like Asiago cheese. Mommy and Daddy left me alone for DAYS last week. And Grandma came to check on me. I was so pissed off and still so frightened of her, so I hid on her the first few times. But then I started to get so lonely with my people gone for so long. So, I forgave her for the hurt she has caused me in the past, and snuggled up to her. She seemed pretty happy about that. I gues she's all right, after all. After Mommy and Daddy came home, she came to visit again. I didn't run and hide, but I also didn't cuddle up to her. These things take time, you know? I'm glad my family is back together again now. I hear my friend Michelle is coming to stay for a few days soon. She always pays lots of attention to me and likes to cuddle with me when she wakes up, so I'm happpy about that.

8:03 pm	turn the heat up out there! Mommy still takes me out ... almost every day. But I don't want to stay out too long anymore because it is COLD out there. I don't know why they don't turn the heat up out there like they do inside the house. It would be much nicer out there, then. Also, the grass is not so green and fresh anymore. I still gnaw on it, but it doesn't taste nearly as good. Current Mood: good (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:41 pm	better my old mommy and daddy came to visit again this week. i was much better this time. i knew mommy would come to get me, so i sat in the front of the closet instead of way in the back, because as scared as i was, i kind of wanted to see them too. it was nice. but they kept flashing this light thingie in my face and that was not fun at all. grandma was there, too, so it was hard to stay out and cuddle with my first human parents like i wanted to, but i stayed out for a little while and then ran back to hide and just listen from the other room. things are back to normal again. yesterday, mommy did not take me out, though, so i was very mad at her. today we got to go out again, so that was nice. lots of birds kept flying over my head and it was making me kind of nervous. i wanted to chase them, but there were lots and lots of them and also everytime i got into pounce mode, mommy called out my name in that soft voice that reminds me of how sweet and gentle i am. i hope daddy takes his nap soon. i love naps with daddy. it's so comforting to cuddle up to him after he's come home from being gone all day long.

6:45 pm	There's a Whole World out there!! Mommy's been taking me out back just about every day, lately. It's so exciting. I used to be so scared of the world outside of the house, but now I want to be out there all the time. I get so mad when she picks me up and takes me back in! I howl at her and daddy all day long to remind them how much I'd like to go back out there again soon. Current Mood: giddy (11 Comments |Comment on this)

4:08 pm	makeitstopmakeitstopmakeitstop It's been horrible around here, lately. There are STRANGERS in and outside of the house and LOUD NOISES all day long. It makes me so cranky. I spend all of my time either hiding or fighting with the other cats. Well, I always do those things, but I do them more often now. Unless mommy is feeling snuggly, then I curl up next to her and feel safe. I try to stick close to her all the time, but sometimes the noise gets to be too much and I have to either run and hide for awhile or lash out at one of those orange cats.

8:53 pm	I'm so abused Mommy and Daddy let me go a WHOLE DAY without any food in my bowl before getting me some fresh stuff. I mean, sure, I can eat the food in the other kitty's bowl and do all the time, but there was no food in MY bowl. And then they get upset with me for howling at them all the time. Well, how else do you expect me to get my needs met if you wont do it on your own? Hunh? BTW, lots of new kitty friends. I'm generally not very social with other cats, but I enjoy reading about your lives and Mommy pretty much forces me to be nice and share, so, fine. I've added you all back. I fought with both of the other kitties in this house today - at the same time even! It was a great accomplishment. If only Mommy hadn't come in and pushed me out of the room. What a meanie.

4:05 pm	Hiding Even though it's a beautiful day with all of the windows open and mommy's feeling good, I dunno. Sometimes a cat just had to hide out. Mommy found me in one of the clothes drawers. She left me sleeping peacefully after just a brief disturbance. It's nice to be alone sometimes, especially when you know your mommy can find you if she really wants to.

9:36 pm	There are not enough windows in this house or at least open windows. I don't like being in the same room as those orange kitties, but when the only open window in the house is there, I have to do it. Also, when they're in the kitchen when I wanna eat. I yell at them to leave, but the boy just stares at me and the girl growls at me, and it makes me so angry! I just want to eat my food in peace. AND mommy and daddy have been out of treats for DAYS and haven't given me any. I am so cranky when I don't get my treats. Life is so hard. Current Mood: bitchy (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:37 pm	Daddy's gone This is night two of daddy being gone. Mommy doesn't seem upset, so I'm not either. I guess he'll be home soon. Luckily, mommy doesn't mind giving me a double dose of snuggles when he's away. Current Mood: hopeful (Comment on this)

4:22 pm	Whooohooo I got OUTSIDE today! Usually, I admit, I'm a bit wary of the out-of-doors. Occasionally, mommy puts this thing around my neck with this string attached to it and tries to get me out the big door, but I never really wanted to go before. Today, she was sitting out there and it seemed so pleasant, so when she came back in, I slipped out! She chased me back in, though. Boooo. And put that thing around my neck again, and took me back out there! It was very exciting. I stayed on the porch and sniffed everything out for a few minutes. Then I got all panicky thinking the Orange Cats might be taking over the house in my absence, so I asked to please be let back in, and saw the boy kitty and immediately dashed after him to let him know I was still boss of the house. Well, that thing around my neck tugged and tugged and I really had to squirm and fight to get it loose, but finally I was free of it and chasing again in no time. Now I want to try the front door. >:) Current Mood: devious (Comment on this)

8:11 pm	My First Human Parents Yesterday, I had an experience that was both wonderful and disturbing. My first human parents came to visit me. They've come a couple of times since they dropped me off at my current mommy's place four years ago. The first time I was too scared to come out. It was very confusing. I was so mad at them for leaving me in the first place, but then so scared they'd take me back since I'd finally gotten comfortable in my new home. The second time time they came to visit, I was scared, but I came out of hiding long enough to visit with them. Well, I was under a blanket and not able to look them in the eye and stuff, but ... I was still kinda wigged out about what was going on. This time went a lot better. I feel pretty secure that they still care about me, but that they won't take me away from my new home and family. I was still really freaked out emotionally, but it was definately nice to curl up in mommy 1's arms and cuddle with her for awhile. I even let my scary grandma pet me a little bit. The Orange Cats took advantage of my state of shock and got very close to me, staring at me and stuff. When I finally started to come to, I went after them with a vengance, though. Then mommy and daddy were out for HOURS and HOURS. Now I'm getting somd good lovin' though. Everything is more or less back to normal. I'm glad I got to see my old family. Well, the humans anyway. I wonder how the other cats are? Current Mood: happy (Comment on this)
