Wednesday Nov. 5th 1997;Meow diary,I was such a bad kitty yesterday! I sure hope my human doesn't find out! I am going to have to make Stimpy and Tabasco promise not to tell! Maybe if I catch them a nice fat mouse they will keep quite tee hee hee!

It all started yesterday morning.Our human opened the window for us all to go out side while she was getting ready to go to that place she call work(a word I don't understand).We had all just finished breakfest and it was time to go outside and play.

Instead of joining in the game of Toss The Lizard that Abby had started I decided to go over to the humans house across the way.I make friends with the two felines that live there and they don't mind when I come inside through the cat door.Their human was already gone so it was safe.

I first went to the kichen where there was some yummy food to eat.Next I play with all plants and knocked one of them over.Got dirt everywhere.Next we all played tag.We ran all through the house chaseing each other.Meow was that fun!After a while we all get tired and decided it was time for a nap.I fell asleep on their human bean's be.

When I woke up I hear their human bean had come home!! I run and hid under the bed.I hear her cleaning up the plant mess and scolding the kitties who owned her.Lucky for me they not tell on me! I stay under bed for long time until finely human bean went to sleep.I snuk out from under bed and started to leave.But on the way out I smell something yumming in kichen! The human bean had left some nice yumming chicken on the counter and I just had to have some! I start to eat and all a sudden BANG! CRASH!! I knock over the dish! It crash to floor and break! Next thing I know the human bean is there shineing bright light at me!! I never run so fast in my Life!!That was so scary!! I think I stay away from there for a while!Hope my human bean doesn't find out!

November 6th 1997 What a pretty day it was! Nice and warm! The purrfect day for an adventure at the college with Stimpy.I always see Stimpy going to the college everyday and wonder what he do over there,so I decided to follow him.

Now I don't like humans as much as Stimpy.Stimpy loves humans! He will talk to anyone and it seems that all the humans know Stimpy! He has been going to the college for a long time and has made lots of friends.I remember about 3-4 years ago when Stimpy got hit by a car.All the humans from the college helped my human pay the fur fixer who made Stimpy well again.Stimpy also gets lots of christmas cards.I not sure what christmas is..some human thing that happens once a year.Silly humans put a tree inside house and put funny things all over it.My human always hangs stuff real high so we can't reach it.She say that stuff not safe for us.

Anyway,back to following Stimpy;He started off eary after breakfast.I was chasing a bird and almost missed him! I feel a nap coming on..*yawn*..be back in a while to finish story..

I'm back from my nap *yawn* So off I go to follow Stimpy.He want up to a building that was full of humans! I go off into the bushes and continue to watch what Stimpy does.He go up to door and meows louding.A few minutes latter human bean opens door and in goes Stimpy.I wonder what he is doing in there so I go to where there is a window for me to look in.I see room full of humans.One of them is in front of room talking and holding a white stick that leaves marks on some kind of thing hanging on wall.I don't know about all dem human things.They are so strange to me.Anyway,there is Stimpy just makeing himself at home.He goes from human to human until he finds one with a furry nice lap.He gets nice and comfortable and takes a nap for a while.

After a bit he wakes up and leaves the room.He then strolls on over where a bunch of humans are sitting around eating.They all pet him and offer him yummy stuff to eat.He not want any.Must be because he had so much at breakfast this morning! He ate part of my food the pig! Next I follow him to another building and he walks in when a human comes out.I look in and see him sitting on the counter watching everything that goes on.It sure seems to me that Stimpy does whatever he wants here! He has all the humans so well trained.No wonder he comes over here all the time.

Well enough of this...I think I will go and visit my furry friends across the way and see what good gosip they know.maybe they know where there are some nice juicey mice to eat!maybe I will go and check on Boo.I like to sneak into his house as well teehee...December 3rd..Meow dairy..It was my Birthday!! My human bean got me some real fun toys!! I have been having furry much fun playing with them.The one I like best is the one that is hanging from my kitty condo! I just love to bat it all around! She also got me some wonderful catnip and I rolled all around in it.Afterwards I spent an hour chaseing butterflies in the tall grass outsideWell after such a furry busy day it is time agian for a nap *YAWN*After I wake up I think I will attack my humans feet while she sleeps *evil grin*

February 98 Meow all..Boy have we had some furry bad weather!! It has been interfering with my lizard tossing and mole catching!.The streets have been flooded and power lines have come down.It was furry scarey!! Our bean kept us all inside where we would be safe.Stimpy was kind of bummed about not beable to go to school, but bean told him it wasn't safe right now so he went and curled up on top of the TV.

Poor Antonio had to go to the fur fixer.He was furry sick.He stoped eating and was not going in he box or anywhere else.Turned out he was plugged up with furry big hair ball! Poor thing!! Rabbits can't throw up dem nasty hairballs like us cats can.Anyway,after a couple days at the furfixers, he is home and much better now.Flippy was furry happy to have him back.

Well the sun is out today.I think I will go see if I can find a lizard to play with before takeing my nap.

Feb 22nd 1998 Well it looks like we are going to survive diss nasty rain. It was so furry bad there for a while.THe wind up to 80 mph and all dem trees falling!!! Furry scarey!! Today it nice out.I went lizard hunting but didn't find any.I don't think them lizards like it when it wet.Lucky found a mouse.He mean and not share.I walk up to him wanting to play with it and he hiss at me!!Guess he grumpy today.

Stimpy was furry bad and spent the night outside.Bean looked all over for him.When he came home this morning bean tell him he bad for makeing us worry but she just can't stay mad at him.She gave him a good brushing and some Whiskas.

Abby made up new game.She learn it from cat across the way.Me and Pookie had furry much fun playing it.What you do is you sneak into the neighbors's yard or house and look for anything that look like it be fun to play with.Like a sock and run off and hide it teehee. Then sit back and watch the silly humans go crazy trying to find it hee hee *wicked smrik* One time dis bean next door left window open and Felix when inside! He in thea for furry long time it seem.I think he had to hide under the bed for a while so bean not see him.The bean had put some green paper stuff (money I think beans call it) and Felix wait until he out of sight and den he get his paws on it and comes out the window and back home.We all had a furry good time bating and biteing it.Latter when our bean came home she find it and knowing about our little game she took it back.Mean Mom!! we was having such furry fun tell she do that!

March 4 1998 I've been meowing with Felix today.I meow to him how I remember when I first came to live with him and our bean. He was the only furperson our bean had at the time.Our bean got him at a pet shop.She not know where Felix came from and Felix don't want to meow about it.All he meow is dat they were ok with him at the pet shop. There was a little puppy there for him to smack around.

Anyway,I rembemer when I first met my human.It was at the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter.I was there with my Mom and sister.My mom was a Burmese and my sister looked just like my Mom.I don't know what my Dad was since he not around. I really don't remember much about my first 2 weeks of life.

Everything was fine at the Shelter at first.We had a nice big cage to be in and plenty of food and fresh water.All day humans would come and go.Then one day they took my Mom and Sister.Some humans wanted to adopt them.With them gone I got furrry scard.I not like being there by myself. And the real furry scarey thing was hearing all them d*gs so close by.

Well all this pawing make me sleepy.I take nap now..tell next time...puuuurrrs and headbutts...Ren...

Meow! Dat was a nice nap *YAWN*. Hope bean open Whiskas soon.Anyway, on with the story.So my mom and sisfur were gone and I was all alone. I not like it at all! I hated them d*gs so close and barking! I begain to think no bean would want me! I tried evfurything cute to get their attention and they all pass me by. I heard other cats meow dat black cats arn't furry popular with beans.I not understand diss.Then one day there came a bean that was looking for her lost kitty.She took one look at me and I knew I had found my human!. I was so so furry happy to get out of there! I have now been with my bean for over 6 human years and am so furry happy.

April 1998Meow did the bean scold me today!! She furry mad at me for being gone for 2 days! I have furry big wound on my hindquarter. I get in fight with something.Bean had to clean it and meow it hurt when she do that!! hiss!! I not like it! She say it my own fault for being a bad kitty.She then make me take some yucky medicine and won't let me outside *pout*. She say I better stay inside so she can make sure I get my meds and she can keep the wound clean. She say she wants to try and keep it from abcessing so I don't have to to the furfixer.Speaking of furfixer, poor Pookie had to go.Bean notice he have furry bad breath and was drooling. So she take him. He had to have almost all his teeth pulled cause they were furry bad. Now he feel furry much better and is eatting lots of Whiskas.

Mr Coon has been comeing around a lot. The bean and some of us sat on the porch the other day and watched him eat. Then he sit there and clean himself and then he streched out at the top of the stairs. He thinks he lives with us!! Some nerve he got!! Bean thinks he is cute. She call Animal Control cause she thought it strange that he came out during the day and was concered about rabies.They say not to worry, that it wasn't very likely. The carriers of rabies around here are Skunks,Bats and Foxes and they say dat we haven't had any rabies reported for a long time in this area.. Bean also learned that is is best not to try and relocate wild animals. If you do, they most likely won't servive, especially one dat is so used to human handouts. So we are going to learn to live with Mr Coon.

May 9 1998 Meow all my furry friends.Lots ob stuff been going on since I pawed last.First, dat silly coon had been makeing himself at home!! Meow he gots some nerve thinking he can come on in and help himself to our food!!

Sometimes when our bean opens the door in the morning to put food out fur the furpersons dat be wild Mr Coon will be sleeping right in front of the door on the welcome matt.Other times he just be laying around somewhere close by.One time bean sat right in front of him drinking a cup of coffee and wAtching him eat.He seem pretty friendly..he not bother us cats

Stimpy has been furry busy with the beans at the college.Seems they always needing advice.They like to sit and talk to him.Here is Stimpy takeing a break from a busy day.

And here is me and some of my brofurs working on our power napping.I got in a fight with a nasty old tom cat so I've been doing a lot of napping lately.bean giveing me medicine that is yucky.She say it will make me feel better.

June 98 Meow there has been some excitement around here!! That pesky coon got in the house!! He went into the kichen and started eating our food!! The nerve!! Pookie got furry upset and much to the surprise of our human, Pookie attacked the coon!! and the coon didn't fight back!! Now that is amazing!! At that point, the bean chased Mr coon out!! since then she has been furry careful to make sure he doesn't get back inside.

Yesterday Tabasco got a bird. he brought it inside and we all gathered around while he played with it.Wellington decided that he wanted to play with it too so Tabasco let him.One by one, we all got to play with it until Lucky got ahold of it. he growled and wouldn't share.He took it off to a corner and ate it.Poor bean had to clean up all the feathers.

Well after the bird it was time for a stroll outside to see what was up in the neighborhood.

Aug. 98Meows and purrs my friends.It's been a while since I pawed in my dairy.Things have been good with all us cats.Been having purrfect weather for lizard tossing and hunting.Lucky and Willie have been getting lots of nice juicey fat moles.Our bean just loved the nice mouse I left for her the other day.

Stimpy sure got into some trouble not long ago.He wondered just a bit too far and ended up at some hotel where he made the beans mad by crying all night and keeping them awake.Our bean had been looking for him and never thought that he would go that far from home.Good thing he had on his ID tag.The people at the hotel called animal control and they got ahold of our bean.She had long talk with Stimpy and told him never to do that again!!.Needless to say, Stimpy has been staying closer to home now.He meow that haveing to ride in that big scarey truck and go to that scarey place was no fun at all.

Them silly rabbits are out again.It funny how they hop around the house and make that thump noise.

Anna is a big bully. She chases Antonio and Flippy all around!

Beanie got some fresh grown catnip for us!! It so so furry good!! I just love to roll around in it.I am trying to figure out how to open the container that it is in sews I can have some whenever I want teehee..

There has been this mean Tom cat that has been comeing around.I meowed at him that he had to stay on his own turf but he not listen to me.Well I had to show him who was King cat around here and we got into nasy fight.Bean had to take me to the furfixer..yuck!! and now I gots to take yucky medicine.Well all this pawing make me sleepy.Think I will take a nap now.

Oct 1999 mews all. I must say, it has been a furry long time since I pawed in my diary. A lot has happened since then. We have moved to beautiful Colorado. We are living in a town called Superior which is just outside of Boulder. It sure is different from Santa Barbara. It has taken us a while to get used to not having the ocean near by. And the strange new animals are like nothing this cat has ever seen before! There are lots of these around here.I have to meow, the scenry is nice.

 

 

Boy! look at all them trees! I bet there are lots of fat juicy birds hiding in there teehee.

 

There's another one of them big things again! The bean calls them Elk or Deer. I purrsonally don't know the difference. I think I am going to like it here. There are only five of us kitties now. Sad to say, not all of us were able to make the move to hear. My brofurs that are still with me are Pookie, Lucky,Willie and my new sisfur Boo.THe rest of my brofurs were able to get very good homes with loving humans. It was furry hard for my meowie to give them up but do to cercimstances it couldn't be helped.One thing she says is that she will never have so many cats agian unless she is in a much better financial situation. Also, it was a lot of work taking care of all of us and the 3 rabbits. Well that's all fur now. Time fur a nap.

June 2000, Mews all! Well, we made it through the cold winter! I am so so furry happy that spring is here! I not like that nasty cold white stuff! I just don't understand them silly beans that like to go up on them big huge mountains covered with it and slide down!

Now that it is warm, we are all starting to go outside and explore. There are lots of yummy rabbits and other things to eat around here. I can't wait to catch me a bird!! I just can't let the human see me do it teehee. I wonder if I can catch one of them big geese that hang out on the lake.

My human brought home a kitten the other day. He looks pretty funny ! He is so thin! He was born a homless kitty like me and my human is trying to give him a chance at life. I hope he makes it.

Well, nap time again....
