Gosh it's been sooooo long since I last blogged. So much has happened to me and the family.

We are at Grandpa's house. Besides the humans there are 5 of us cats and of course Ittybit. I've GROWN sooooo big. Mom Elly says I weigh over 20 lbs now. I AM NOT fat...I've just grown into my paws.

Nobody wants to play with me anymore...they all say I'M TOO BIG...am NOT!!!! S'k I still chase em when I want to. Most of the day I snooze away on Grandpa's bed but I have Dad Dave trained pretty good now. He KNOWS when it's snack time and if he forgets, I JUST REMIND HIM.

I don't like much except Tuna, it's the best. I have a special chair in the kitchen and I get to sit in it and watch Dad Dave open the cans and he shares with us. Kei and Spunky don't much care for it, but I DO!!!!

We haven't gotten into that tin box for ages and ages. Last summer Mom Elly was away with Dad Dave. While she was gone, she says she broke her back. Took a long time for her to get better and then she got sick. Took them a long time to figure out what was wrong with her, BUT they finally did......so she's better now and ittybit likes that.

Before we came up here, Ittybit got bit by a rattlesnake. I heard Dad tell Mom that it was huge. Whatever that was, it made Ittybit VERY SICK. I felt so sorry for him. Not long after that happened we were put in that tin box with the big noise. It's been good here.

This house is a LOT bigger than our Arizona house. It has a basement too. I sometimes sleep with Mom and Dad, but they move around too much and don't want to share the bed with me. I only take up the bottom half. What's wrong with them. Can't they at least share...I share with Rascal. She gets 1/2 of my half. That does give them 1/2 the bed right? Scamp still walks all over everyone and hollers all night long.

He sometimes will sleep next to Dad and he only takes up some of the bed. Of course I hear mom complaining about being pushed out of bed....gosh what is she complaining of...she gets part of the bed and we DO keep her warm.

We haven't seen a mouse in here in ages. They are so much fun but after all it IS our house. Maybe they got the message.

Well, I guess i'll go take a nap. Hmmm better do it quick. It's almost dinner time.
