Pet diaries

OK ... I took the video off because obviously it was not working right. By the way, we get to bring the kitties home mid-April. Yeah!

The following is a funny e-mail forward that Rick got from his sister, Amanda. I laughed so hard I cried when Rick read it to me. Maybe it was the cat voice he used...

Cat Diary
Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for these rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.

In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomited on the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies'. I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow - but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move.

My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe ... HEH HEH HEH, for now!

New additions to the family

These two kittens are going to be the newest members of our little family. Right now they are too young to come home with us, but in a few weeks they'll be ready.


The creamy-orange one is a boy, and we've decided to name him Rowdy. The name is after Rowdy Creek, a little tributary in our area. We wanted to name him after something out here because that's where we got him!


The torti-colored kitty is a girl, and she was sort of an after-thought. When Rick and I went to the humane society to see Rowdy, we thought she was just so cute that we had to get her. Actually, Rick couldn't resist her, and he talked me into it. She *is* super cute though. As of now, the girl kitty doesn't have a name. We just can't decide on one. We'd like to take suggestions. So everyone give us your best girl kitty names.


I know everyone is wondering, "What about Weezie?"
She'll be OK because the kittens are so young. And with two of them, they'll be less likely to pester her when they're acting like frisky little kittens. Weezie still likes to play, but she also likes to cat-nap and relax more than she used to. We're hoping she takes on a motherly role with them.
