Mama Kitty's Adventure.

Today Mama Kitty had to go to the doctor. Her back legs bother her a lot. She's been having a hard time in the litter box this week and you could tell her leg was bothering her. My mom was fretting over Mama Kitty a lot! My mom and dad decided the doctor should look at her.

Mama Kitty told me all about it. She had to wait a long time. There were scary dogs and a scary little boy in the doctor's office. There was another kitty who was scared and Mama worried about that kitty but Mama was mostly worried about herself. She's really scared at the doctor.

Mama finally had her turn and she got to see the nice lady doctor. We like her a lot! My mom always hopes she's the kitty doctor when we have to go to the doctor's office.

Mama had a picture taken of her back like I did! The doctor said she has arthritis like I do. My mom thought that was probably the case. The doctor told them that all kitties our ages have some arthritis.

Mama said she got a shot like I did. She didn't like that very much. My mom and dad have to watch Mama Kitty today and then tell the doctor tomorrow if the shot helped.

Mama's arthritis is in a different place than mine. I really like the hot packs for mine, but Mama Kitty doesn't. I think Mama just likes to rest when her arthritis is bothering her. I'm going to let Mama Kitty rest a lot because I know how it feels.

Adventures Being Scared.

Yesterday I really wanted out. My mom let me out for a minute and then brought me back in. It wasn't enough. I wanted out some more.

Later my mom had to go check the mailbox so she let me out again. While my mom was at the mailbox, a lady came by with a really big, really scary dog. I was so scared.

I was sitting on the step on the porch and I made myself real small. I put my ears down low and tried not to move a muscle. The gate was open and the dog could get me! I was so scared. I looked for a place to run.

I heard my mom say "it's ok Sweetie, I'm coming". It didn't help make me feel better. My mom closed the gate and scooped me into her arms. I was so glad!!

I tried to push myself as close to my mom as I could and I kept my head down so that dog couldn't see us. My mom said it was alright and she'd protect me. She kissed me to help me feel better but I was still so scared.

We made it inside safe. My mom says that's why we have to be indoor kitties, because it's too scary out there. It was sure scary yesterday!

I Played Too Hard.

I'm not a young kitty anymore. I played too hard with my twist tie the other day.

My mom has been watching me to see if my back is hurting me. It sort of was, but not too much. Today it was bothering me a little more. I had a hard time jumping up on the bed and I didn't want my mom to touch my back too much. It's not too bad but it's not good either.

My mom got right on it. She heated up that rice pack and put it on my back while I was on the couch. At first I didn't think I wanted it but then it felt good. Then it felt too hot so I decided I'd lay on my side next to it. She fixed it up so it was right next to me. It felt good.

I'm hoping I'm back to normal after a good rest. I think my dreams of adventures will hold me over until I can have my next one.

Adventures With Twist Ties.

I love playing with a twist tie! It's so much fun.

Whenever my mom or dad get a twist tie they don't need, they throw it on the floor for me. I pounce on it right away. I love to chase those things all over. I especially like the black shiny ones.

I have one black shiny twist tie that I've been playing with for a long time. I like to hide it with the computer cords. It blends right in. The other night I got it out and chased it all over the floor. I even got it way under the coffee table. I had to pull myself under the coffee table but I couldn't quite reach it when I got stuck! My mom saw I was stuck and got my twist tie for me. She threw it out in the middle of the floor so I could play with it some more.

I love to play with the twist tie in the kitchen. It slides all over the floor. I get to run and chase after it. Sometimes I slide all over the floor when I catch it. That's fun!

I'm so glad my mom and dad are home. I hate it when they take trips. Mom said they went somewhere warm and I would have loved it. Well then they should have taken us along!!

My mom had her cousin come take care of us. She was nice. I really liked her. I liked sitting on her lap. I tried to trick her a bunch of times and make her feed me again but she wouldn't fall for it. It was fun trying.

After my mom and dad got back home, I was so excited I could hardly sit still. I had a lot of time to make up for. I had to get a week's worth of hugs and kisses. My mom was trying to sleep and I kept waking her up to pet me. I was so happy.

Mama Kitty didn't have such a good time while they were gone. She gets so scared of strangers, even when the stranger takes good care of us. When our mom and dad first got home Mama Kitty was too scared to come out of her hiding spot. She's so crazy sometimes. She finally figured out it was ok and now she can't get enough petting either.

Mama spends a lot of time on my dad's lap and I spend a lot of time on my mom's lap. We're so happy they're back!

Adventures in Territory Wars.

Mama Kitty and I are in the topsy turvy world of the territory wars right now. When she tried to take the kitchen away from me, that was IT! I'd had it.

Then she started sleeping in my spot on the spare bed! Is she trying to run me out of this whole house? I don't think so.

The other day, I wouldn't let her in the bedroom. Usually she keeps me out, but this time it was mine! I was sleeping with my mom and Mama Kitty tried to come in with us. When she got to the doorway, I stood up on that bed and I growled and hissed. I told her she wasn't coming in here at all.

She is so sneaky. She waited and after I went back to sleep she snuck in and jumped up on the bed! Well I attacked Mama Kitty right on top on my mom. I warned her and she didn't listen. My mom yelled and made us lay down on each side of her. I wasn't very happy.

Every time Mama Kitty sleeps in one of my spots, I go sleep in one of hers! This is not over.
