Smokie got into
something sticky on his back and he can't reach it to clean it. Daddoo
had to cut a lot of his matted fur out and he looks funny now with his
lighter gray undercoat showing through. Spot is calling him "Scrappy"
behind his back!

Mommy let me
sleep in the bedroom today - to recover from my embarrassment of having the
sticky stuff cut out of my fur. It was so comfy
on the bed. I like being under the covers and having my head on the pillow like Mommy.

Ahh.. peace and
quiet! Daddoo's kitten has been gone since Friday morning! No
slamming of doors, no screaming music, no cell phone ringing every 20
minutes - life could never be this good!

Mommy dug in the dirt around the mailbox all afternoon! I tried to
help her but she fussed at me. I don't know what she was after.
Then she put new plants in the dirt. I sniffed them but they didn't
smell yummy. So I went to sleep in the herb garden under the sage
plant to keep an eye on her while she played in the dirt.

Mommy is
really sick. Daddoo had to take her to the people "place of needles"
this morning. She has to take pills too. But Daddoo doesn't have
to hide them in her food or pry her mouth open to give them to her - she
takes them all by herself. Good Mommy. |

To convince Daddoo that I should be allowed to
spend the night inside I brought him two gifts today. A rat in the
morning and a bird (still alive!) in the afternoon. It didn't
work. I think I am being discriminated against because of my
hyperactivity.

Owl came back to visit today. This time
her three solid white kittens followed her. They helped themselves to
our food bowls.
Daddoo came home while they were eating. Owl ran down the stairs when
he started to open the back door. But the kittens were scared and ran
behind the grill. They were so scared that they bumped into the grill
and made a noise. Daddoo went over to investigate. When he saw
Owl's kittens, he reached down to pet them and they jumped off the back
deck! Daddoo was worried about them, but they were okay.

Miss. Malt was correct again about "holidays" - our people sacrificed a
turkey again as they did this time of year last year. Now that Miss.
Malt has been proven right, she wants us to participate in the next big
holiday. She has given us homework - stuff to read and research.
When we reminded her that she is the only CL cat who can read she said she
would help us. There are 5 Cottage Larsen cats. Miss. Malt wants
us each to learn more about the different human winter holidays:
Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukah, Solstice, and New Year's and we each have to
make a report. Who made her the school teacher?! |

Our reports have been canceled... Miss. Malt
drank some of the water under the Christmas tree - she said it was a science
experiment - but she had a bad reaction and started seeing things.
She babbled for about two hours about cactuses, Indians, the ghosts of
Christmas past, present, and future.
And then she hid under a couch pillow for an hour.
I think she reads too much and doesn't get out enough.
It took her a few days to fully recover and then she canceled our reports
saying she had too much research to do after her "epiphany," whatever that
is... |
