I think something is wrong with Mommy. She's been acting weird, well, ok, weirder than normal, lately.

I mean, she always spends a lot of time sharpening her claws on these little square thingies that put dots on the screen. But lately she's been doing more STARING at the screen than claw sharpening.

And that's not the worse of it. She's started this weird chanting too. It sounds sorta like "Nanonanonanonano...*&&*%*&^*...nanonanonano...$#%@%$^...."

I think she's almost as loony as a DAWG!!!!

SCARY!!!!!

I can't believe mommy, she's messing up my favorite game again. Last night, when she opened the door for me to go out into my tunnel on the deck, a big huge moth flew into the house. I was really excited because no critter worth playing with had flown in lately and I'd missed playing "Mighty Hunter!!"

So, I was having a blast, chasing the moth all around the house. Mommy kept laughing at me and saying I couldn't talk to it so much if I were out in the wild because it would hear me coming. Said I needed to sneak up on it. I KNOW THAT, DUH!!! But I'm not in the wild, silly human, and I was just telling the moth to come down from the ceiling and play at a more fair level. Clinging to the ceiling is CHEATING!!!!

I played Mighty Hunter all night, until it was time to go to bed, then I went up to bed and snuggled up with Mommy. I needed my rest after all! It's hard work trying to climb the walls to play with a critter that won't come down from the ceiling!

Well, this morning do you know what my crazy mommy did??? She CAUGHT the moth! Yeah...except not. Because instead of putting it someplace where *I* could reach it she RELEASED IT OUTSIDE!!!

AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How am I supposed to play Mighty Hunter if mommy releases all my prey....huh....I mean PLAYmates outside?????????????

I'm gonna go sulk now.

I am a mighty hunter and I WILL catch this annoying moth flying around the living room...no matter how many times I have to run across the table and nearly knock over Mommy's drink and jump on the keyboard while she's typing!!!!!!

I haven't updated in a while, I should do a REAL update soon, huh? Until then, all my fellow wise feline friends should make sure your humans see this....and learn it's leasons!!!

I hope you have a fun birthday being COMPLETELY SPOILED by your mommy (and Gryffin too!) Hope you got lots of great presents!

Lookee what Mommy just bought for me!!! Except she bought me a purrrrrty red one, not that yucky green!!!!



SQUEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew if I ripped up her curtains badly enough she'd break down and buy it for me!!!! I is so smart!!!!

Now, if only she weren't cheap and had ordered it with faster shipping, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO she did regular ground shipping so I have to wait a week or more.

I wonder how many times I can still rip up her curtains before it gets here???

Off to find out!!!! Later!!!!!!!!!!

(I forgot to ask mommy if it comes with those playmates!)

I WANT WINGS TOO!!!

Not fair...I'm gonna go pout now, or maybe I'll express my frustration by biting on Mommy's legs some more, although she doesn't seem to LIKE that, for some reason! It's only love bites!!!

My mommy's a purrty good mommy, except she's really stubborn on one topic. She wants me to wear a collar. It's turning into a major battle between us. I'm determined to win, but so is mommy. I'm sure I can out stubborn her though, even if I have to scare her witless again, like I did the other morning!

She went out and bought me a collar. A nice, light weight black nylon one. I have to admit, it looked good on me against my lovely orange coat. But, I didn't like it. I knew I didn't like it, but I pretended to for a day or two, to fool mommy.

One night earlier this week, when mommy and me went to bed, I was wearing my collar. But, I'd decided enough was enough, so during the night, when I got up to prowl around and make a mess play with some of my toys, I also worked the collar off over my head. Mommy still hasn't figured out how I did it since she says it was "tight enough but not too tight." I'm not telling her either, it's my secret!!!

Anyway, mommy being mommy and being stubborn, she put it back on me first thing in the morning. Mommy explained she wants me to wear the collar so she can take me outside to go on walks. HELLO DUFFUS!!! If you wanted to walk something on a leash, get a stinky DAWG!!!!

So, that morning, while she was getting dressed like she does a lot of mornings before leaving me ALONE all day, I hatched my plan to scare mommy near to death.

When she wasn't looking, I worked my mouth under the collar and worked one of my lower fangs through the nylon mesh of the collar. It was more uncomfortable then I thought it would be!!! I couldn't turn my head very well and, even worse, to late I realized I couldn't get the collar OFF my fang either. That is what I was planning on doing if mommy didn't see it before she left me for the day.

So, I was hunched over on the floor in the room where mommy sleeps (when she's not falling asleep on the magic couch that is!). I guess I looked as uncomfortable as I felt because mommy noticed instantly that I "didn't look right." She reached down to pet me, like she does all the time when she's walking past, and that's when she saw the collar was pulled funny around my neck.

Mommy suddenly found religion because she kept saying "Omygod omygod omygod" over and over again, sounding really scared. I wasn't scared up until then, just uncomfortable!!! She scooped me up and tried to unfasten the collar, but that only pulled it tighter and I didn't like that AT ALL!!! I scratched my way out of her arms and hid in my hidey hole under her bed!!!

Mommy moved the trunk from the end of the bed and coaxed me out to her. It took a while, I made her sweat it out to teach her how bad collars are! When I finally did come out, she scooped me up again and carried me downstairs. Normally I don't like being carried around like some KITTEN, but this time I let her because I sorta...huh...I mean mommy sorta needed the comforting.

Of course, then she confused me by putting me ON the counter she's always yelling to get OFF! But before I could take advantage of that bit of good fortune, she held me tight and the next thing I knew I heard a SNIP and my head was free from the EVIL COLLAR!!! YEAH!!!!

Mommy made me show her my purrty white teeth to make sure my fang was OK and that my mouth wasn't bleeding. It wasn't, I was careful when I hatched my plot!

You'd THINK that would get mommy off the idea of putting a collar on me, but don't you know she just tried to get that HARNESS COLLAR on me a little while ago???

Needless to say...she failed miserably!!

So, in the Great Battle of the Collar the score current stands at:

Sunny 1, Mommy 0

GO ME!!!!!!!

...I've been to busy to update my journal because of my plot to take over the house (and sleeping in the nice comfy bed mommy bought for me):



I have lots to tell you all.

First, my mommy is still amazingly stubborn. Why she doesn't know that I'm now in control around here is beyond me. I thought I was making that point very clear, but apparently I need to work harder at it! For instance, she still doesn't like me on the table and counters. And don't even get me going on how mad she got when I climbed up the front of the big box with the moving pictures!!!! I did that this afternoon while she was talking to grandma. I did it over and over again, or tried to at least. She kept stopping me when I'd just jump up in front of it, before I could climb over it to get to the hidey hole in the back. She finally put me in a "time out" by putting me in the little bathroom until she finished talking to grandma.

I've been good since. I don't like time out. I'm a good kitty!!!

Oh, grandma is nice, I met her not long after I moved in here. She's nice and quiet and petted me really nice. She can come worship visit me anytime.

I'm not as sure about my Aunt Donna and cousins, Mike and Deanna. Aunt Donna knew that Mommy had adopted me, but she kept it a secret from my cousins. They were completely surprised when they came over for Mike's 16th Birthday. Both of my cousins got down on their hands and knees and chased me alllllllll over the living room and even up the stairs. I tried to get into the hidey hole under the bed, by mean Mommy still had it closed off (she's promised to open it for me next time we're invaded visited by my cousins!). I finally figured out that the cousins were just overly enthusiastic in their worshipping of me. Fully understandable, I'm totally deserving of being worshipped!

Mike was especially funny. Mommy says he looked like a 6 foot tall five year old crawling around on the floor going "Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!"

I hope they come visit again soon. It's nice having people worship me. Mommy still labors under the misconception that she's in control and doesn't allow me to get away with everything I should!

Like taking over her favorite spot to watch the box with the moving pictures:

My human is STUBBORN!!! She would not get out of bed this morning when I wanted her to. She kept muttering something about losing an hour of sleep. She finally agreed to get out of bed at 9 am (she's muttering something about it really being 8 am...much to early to get up on a SUNDAY!). And she says I have a drama queen streak...jeez!!!!!

Our day was spently quietly. I helped sort laundry but she wouldn't let me into the Top Secret Basement to finish the job! MAJOR POUTING!!!

The human is saying I should tell you something about myself, rather than about her.

I like talking about myself, so I think this is a good idea. I'm about a year old, although I'm not sure of my exact birthday. I was taken to DAWS after someone found me abandoned in an apartment. I was lucky, I wasn't at DAWS very long. I only got there at the end of January. I wish I could bring one or more of my friends from DAWS to live here too, but my human says she's only allowed to have one pet. I hope they all find good homes soon, too.

What else? Hmmm...I'm a medium domestic long hair...at least that is what my official papers say. I also have orange eyes...very stunning, if I do say so myself. Oh, and I weight about 6 1/4 lbs. I'm all fluff!!!

And, much to my human's amused annoyance, I prefer to drink from the big white bowls in the bathrooms, rather than the little bowls of water she puts out for me.

Well, I think that about does if for today. My human is a bit worried because she has to leave me all by myself tomorrow while she goes to work. She said she's hoping I don't destroy the place!!

Meow...huh...I mean Hello.

My name is Sunny and I started training a human today named gizzi1213. She adopted me from The Danbury Animal Welfare Society or DAWS just this morning. I wasn't sure about this whole process at first. I mean, come on, it meant being stuffed in a small box and then taking a ride in a car. I turned into a TOTAL backseat driver and told her how to drive the entire ride home!! I was very happy that it was a short trip!!

I thought I was ready to demand being returned to DAWS at first! She locked me in the bathroom!! She said it was only until I learned where my litter box was located, but I wasn't sure I trusted this strange human just yet. She left me in there forever!! (edit gizzi1213 says it was only about 30 minutes...Sunny has a drama queen streak!)

Whatevah! It felt like a looooong time. I got even though. When she finally opened the door to check on me, she couldn't find me!! That's when I figured out this human can be easily confused. Not too many places to hide in a bathroom and this one forgot she'd left that small box in there with me! I was curled up in there because at least it was familiar!

I cautiously went out to explore the rest of my new territory. I first explored the bedroom. I found a wonderful hidey hole under the bed!!! I crawled in there and wouldn't come out for the longest time. I like it under there!! BUT!!! The human is MEAN!!! The hidey hole is created by the drawers under the platform bed and where they don't meet there is supposed to be an endpiece to close it off, but it wasn't in place. WELL...when I made the mistake of coming out to further explore, she closed off my hiding space!!!! I protested for a bit, but she's heartless and wouldn't reopen it. I'm going to keep working on her!

I finally went downstairs, to find the human, to see if she was planning some other nasty treatment. Instead I found her stretched out on the couch watching a box that has moving pictures on it. She was all snuggled down under an afgan. She looked so comfy I decided to join her and curled up against her legs to take a nap.

Now I'm WIDE AWAKE. I'm taking a break from chasing a leather shoelace right now, oh, and running up and down the stairs. ZOOM!!!! I go really really fast. The human made some comment about the pitter patter of little feet.

The human is going to curl up on the couch again. She's asking me if I want to curl up too. I will, eventually, but I'll play hard to get for a while first.

Oh, the human says you should all friend me so you can keep track of how successfully I train her!!!
