My Final Day on Earth

November 13th 2006 3:16 pm

I was very sick today and wanted to rest. So I went to the rainbow bridge this afternoon.

Before I left, I told mommy goodbye and see you again. I am going to keep her uncle company who just passed a little over a week ago. He loved cats very much and I knew he needed someone to pet.

I know my mommy and daddy are heartbroken, but they will always have their sweet memories of me to hold even if I can’t be there to hug. I know they will miss me, and I will miss them.

I will wait here for you for when your time comes, so you won’t be frightened.

Night Three

November 12th 2006 5:53 pm

This is really not funny. Last night when I was trying to sleep I started to feel like I was gonna smuffokate to death. The doctor came in and put this thing in my neck so I could breathe, but seriously, it’s really weird breathing through my NECK. At least I don’t have to smell the vet-office-dog-poo smell anymore and I can pretend I’m back at home curled up by my mommy’s spicy feet.

I read where Holly said mommy was crying all day. I’m so sorry mommy, I don’t mean to make you sad. I will try to come home for some nose kisses real soon.

Thanks to everyone posting up their purrs, prayers, and well wishes. I like all the pretty candles… it makes me feel better about not being home to play scrunchie or do my bug patrol. Thank you!

Night Two

November 11th 2006 5:26 pm

Here I am in this cold vet’s office for the second night. Good thing I can at least reach the computer so I can check in, although I don’t really feel like hanging out online much.

They keep poking me with things and taking pictures of my insides. They’ve knocked me out twice already so I can’t see what they’re doing. I think they’re inserting alien probes because the aliens found out I was about to take over the world. They have this tube running into me they call EyeVee and they say it’s because I won’t eat or drink. But I keep telling them I’ll barf if I do… in fact it’s a case of barf if you do, barf if you don’t.

I miss my mommy and daddy, and I’m really worried about Holly because I was taking care of her before they took me away, too. I hope they’re not making her howl anymore trying to force her to take drugs. I thought drugs were bad!

I’m kinda tired now so I think I’ll go snuggle into this secret stash of scrunchies my friends brought me.

I just like to be toasty.

Anyone who knows me well knows that I like to burrow under the covers and sleep between my mommy’s knees. She sleeps on her belly and since she doesn’t get up during the night like daddy does, this is a prime spot.

However, mommy caught me doing something the other night that, for some completely unknown reason, amazed her and daddy.

Mommy was hot and was sleeping with just a sheet over her… now this is terrible for me because I sleep on TOP of the sheet and there was no blanket to be under. So, I positioned myself in my usual spot and reached over, grabbed the blankie with my teeth, and pulled it over myself.

What’s so great about that? I just like to keep warm at night!

Just Can’t Wait to be King

August 19th 2006 5:54 pm

The battle for the scrunchie has taken a very sinister turn. My mommy had been administering scrunchie time, and I knew she thought she was in control, hiding it in an impenetrable lock box when scrunchie time was not in session. There have been nights when all they would look at is that big black box in the living room and completely ignored my pleas for a scrunchie break. I began to get so frustrated that I began to nip at the back of mommy’s knee to get her attention. And boy, does that get her attention!

Since I’ve figured out how to make her react, I’ve begun biting her whenever I want something done. It doesn’t matter if she’s busy doing something on the computer or just lying around, all I have to do to be in the spotlight is *CHOMP*. I have decided to dethrone my mommy as joint-alpha of the house using this method. Once I have done that, I will work on daddy. Then it’s just a matter of time before I take over the world…

For the Love of Scrunchies

July 26th 2006 3:57 pm

I have actually been quite depressed over the past few months but I couldn’t quite figure out why. That was, until my mommy bought herself a whole pack of scrunchies, which she hasn’t done in a long long time ever since I ate her very last one. She tried to hide them on the bathroom shelf but I stold them anyway and stored them in my food bowl. I was very excited to have a whole pack of scrunchies all to myself after all this time, but mommy found them and took them back.

Mommy said since I seem to love them so much, I could have one as long as it was put away when I was done playing with it so I wouldn’t eat it. Ever since, mommy and daddy have played fetch with me every night with my new scrunchie, they say I’m acting like a 7 month old. Mommy says my eyes get wide and bright when I see the scrunchie. Her arms are covered with scratches because I get sooooo excited when I play fetch with my scrunchie that I forget to put my claws in. I just wish they’d stop throwing it on Holly when she’s lounging in the cat tree because when I try to get it back she slaps me.

I really really really really really really love my scrunchie.

Cow Appreciation Day

July 8th 2006 1:13 pm

According to our humans, there is a sign at this place called Chick Fil-A that says July 14 is Cow Appreciation Day. Apparently since I’m a cow (mommy started that by calling me Mookie, then just Moo, then Moo Cow, and now sometimes just Cow), and since I’m a cow Holly must be one, too, we get to celebrate Cow Appreciation Day… which is mighty handy because it’s my mommy’s birthday, too.

So when they got home from the store today they said they had something for us for Cow Appreciation Day, even though it’s a little early they wanted to give it to us now anyway.

They bought us each our own kitty fort! They attached them together to make one long kitty hide-away. We’ve been busy all afternoon playing with it, especially Holly who, despite how annoying she can be, had the genius to put it on it’s side so there’s less holes for the humans to see us through.

Happy (early) Cow Appreciation Day!!!
