Mom Elly says it's 2011 and almost the end of the year, so she wanted my paw print here and now. She's sick and bored, so I have to entertain her. So here is my paw print and story.

No turkey this year...bah humbug!!! No leftovers or treats. Mom Elly says, "like I need them". What!!!!! I only weigh 23 lbs. The vet says, I'm NOT FAT!!!!! I'm a big cat. Like it's not fair. I have to wait in line for my tuna. Course, if you feed me first, yum, I get to eat everyone else's first.

There was a monster in the house this past week. It went brrrrrruuuuuum, brrrrruuum and raced all over the house. Mom Elly says it was just Andrew and he's only 6 and that was him letting of steam just like I do when I race up and down the hallway. I DON'T CARE!!!!!! he was scary and moved waaaaaay too fast for me. The house is all quiet now, and I'm pleased. I don't like my routine disturbed AT ALL.

I love this place. There is a big window looking out on the back yard. OH Mi, what fun. Squirrels eating, running and playing out there. Birds all over the place. Not sure about that big orange cat that has been coming in a yowling. Mom Elly, Dad Dave, Granpa Vern and James all run to feed him when he comes around. I think he's stealing my food. Just can't can't him doing it.

We even had something they called a sparrow hawk come in and steal a bird right off the feeder. Now that was some excitement. Just let ME at it. We'd not have him stealing OUR birds. No siree.

There was a mouse living under the table on the patio. He's gone now. I think that durn orange cat caught him. He was MY mouse....Kie liked to watch him too. All my friends take turns watching out the window. It's fun to watch, but scary to go there.

When the sun is shinning it's a great place to sit or lie on the table or a chair. So warm and friendly.

Well, that's my paw print for now. Check out Mom Elly's blog. She's going to start putting more recipes on again. She's been cooking up a storm. Love and purrs to y'all.

Well, here I am AGAIN!!!!. My friend Sasha has been emailing me from California where she lives with her human, Mr. Will. It got me started to think about my blog. Had to hunt a bit to find it. Kinda like hunting for mice. But I FOUND IT. Life here is pretty quiet. I sleep a lot of the day. Mostly beside Dad Dave. He sits in a chair at the dining room table playing his noisey game. Guess it's called World of Warcraft. He plays it most days and nights and mornings. The last few days he's been tinkering with laptops. I heard him tell mom that he's been fixing them. The only bad part is the BEST chair that sits in the sunshine usually has one of the girls in it. I WANT them to move, but they just ignore me, so I have to find somewhere else to sleep. If I'm not sleepy I just bug Dad. We all got pretty sick after Christmas. Somebody brought us a virus. I had to go to the vet and he said I had "Feline Herpes" and to give me L-lysine. So mom figured that since all the cats were sneezing, she could give all of us the same stuff. Spunky likes his medicine but the rest of us want Tuna with ours. Kie doesn't like anything so mom has to put it in her mouth. ICKY ICKY ICKY she says. Dad Dave has been pretty good about the snacks. I still have to remind him. That's easy to do. I just sit on his hand that moves that funny little thing he calls a mouse around. Funny, it doesn't smell like a mouse. The squirrels in the backyard have brought their friends to eat so we get lots of fun watching them. They spend the whole day running up and down the poles out their and eating. James used to feed them, but he's not here right now. Heard mom say he'd be back next week. It's still cold here and the sun doesn't shine very much. I MISS MY SUNSHINE. In Arizona Mom put nice little beds on the chairs in the Sun Room for us to sleep in. They are so warm and cozy. I heard mom say that she's going to take more pictures of us. She said she put a whole bunch out on her Facebook page and people thought we were cute and funny. I'm gonna have to hide more...I don't want to be cute and funny cause I'M DIGNAFIED. Well, Dad just came back from his bike ride, so I'm heading to the kitchen to make sure that he remembers to feed us our snack. He's soooo forgetful. I have to remind him by getting up where he can see me. Well, bye for now...catch me next time
