I know. It's been awhile. I have been exploring every inch of the yard, garden, and surroundings. Mum has been very upset that I stay away soooo long. But there's so much to see. Tonight I am in--it rained for the 1st time in days. I got my tail wet..... But, I came inside as soon as the rain started. Everyone called it "a front" bringing in cooler temperatures. It has been so nice. Days of sun! The other cats say cold times are coming....
Hammond is doing well, but wants to play. The other cats ignore him, even me. I really don't trust him. There haven't been any serious fights besides a big one. Gary and Blackie were fighting. I thought Blackie was the instigator and chased him all the way outside. But I felt sooo bad. Two days ago, his ear looked like he had an abscess. I, of course, thought I scratched him. But he had a "hematoma". The Doc said it was a blood blister inside his ear and it would cause his ear to droop. He is such a good looking cat and this will hurt his ear. It'll crinkle. The Doc said there was no way to prevent it.

more friends
I'm calling these cats, friends. I've had no trouble with these other cats. Bits is the oldest in the community. He is cream-colored. Humans call him orange. He's cream. Even I know which is which:
Popeye is orange and Bits is cream. Are these people colorblind? Bits was born at what is called "the old house", around 13 years ago. He had a twin brother, Kibbles, who died from a chicken bone. Don't let cats have chicken bones!!! Bits is a very personable cat. He likes to clean Mum's hands and face, esp her ears and eyes. He also likes to wake Dad up during the night his claws in his hair. Dad usually hits him with a soft pillow, saying, "Bits, go to the end of the bed." I've noticed that sometimes he actually does.
Lil' Cat is the Queen of the House. I was a Queen at the cattery, but that was for breeding. She rules the house, which is OK for me. I am soooo much smaller than her. I think the other cats think I am a kitten. Nobody seems to hate me. Oh sure, sometimes they'll hiss at me, but not strong enough to intimidate me.

New Year Cold
I'm starting the new year with a cold. I've had it for a week. Mum keeps giving me the pink stuff...
She thinks that the Maine Coon female, we call Alice, may be pregnant. We think she has a home because she usually just comes to eat and visits. She really doesn't talk to me. I guess we'll find out....
Mum had her birthday today. Mine is July 2. I came to my forever home that same month.

Blackie
Mum just on Blackie's other ear. Doc Phil said, on the other one, that it could heal by itself if it didn't grow. Let's hope it doesn't. He even had a bad bad ear infection a month or so ago. He is soooo speciafound another hematoma l to Mum. We are sooooooo pleased to have our loca-
Other Happenings of the Season
Mum said she didn't have time to make out catnip toys (they're ready to sew tho). So she bought the bestest ever from Cat Faeries. We even like to play in the paper. They're shaped like mice, corn on the cob, carrots, cucumbers, and such. She refreshes them with their organic catnip spray. She bouoght alot since there are so many of us.
They named the wild cat, Alice. She's a Maine Coon, but we think she really has her own home and just comes her for visits. Bits chases her and he means for her to go away. But we'd let her stay anyway if she wants.
Mum thinks Gary and Si need a new home each so they could get more attention and love. But Dad is soooooooo protective and says "They're happy here and not everybody would treat them right.
We thought Old Black was diabetic. He came here as skin and bones. Thenkfully he isn't, but does have a kidney infection. He's even gained a little weight. Doc Phil lets her keep the medicine here to save money. It came in handy recently what with him ill and all. And then we all got kitty colds. I still have mine. Mum is so worried about me. Then Baggy got an abscess from when I hit him on the back. Can I help it if I'm not sure which one attacked the other? I just hit the first cat that I see. He took the medicine better than I do. He didn't fuss at all. He is quite the lover boy. I chase him from Mum. She's mine.
Poppy is so funny. The others too. They hide in boxes and jump out at people or a cat.

A New Year
I am soooooooooo derelict in writing, but Mum says she needs also to update her journal. So much happens around here, it's hard to keep up....I already thought I had a new life, now a new year.
Everyone has been so busy. I need to write more. Mum says she has to too. Especially on The Book!
This was my first real Christmas! And my first Christmas tree ever. Everyone thought I would climb the tree. I was good. Old Black slept under it but I slept by the white Nativity scene.
