Turkey Day

Today Mum roasted a large turkey.  I used to eat raw turkey, but this is diferrent. It smells really tastey.  Little Cat has been waiting all day.  I hear that Mum's first Aby was Samantha.  She was a ruddy Aby.  She lived 23 years and went crazy over turkey livers.  Why, she would run when she heard the knife being sharpened. She came from England from the very best line, GrChTaishun Leo.  She flew Pan Am by herself insured by a famous company, LLoyds of London.  They really bonded.  Samantha could jump better than me.  When she first met Dad she jumped to his shoulders.  She was mated with GrCh Chota-Li Jester and had kittens: then 2 more litters.  Evertone wanted her baby's but she kept some like Maya and Lasange (my sister named that cat).  Mum really fell apart when she died of pneumonia one Thanksgiving  Mum bought her a real tombstone.

I have a new neice, Baby Girl.  They havn't named heer yet.  She's 3 days old.

Tree Climb

On a Monday I decided to climb one of the pine trees at the old house across the stree,  See the pine tree and 2-story house.  I wasn'too high ny Wendsday when some girls heard me crying Tey knew I was lost because on Tuesday when I wasn't home Mum went to all the houses in our area.  I was only up high enough to be reached with a ladder.  I crawled way out on a limb when the fire department tried to get me.  I was soooo scared of them.  Next this man climbed the tree to where I was so I ran up the tree to its very top.  No one could reach me.  Peoplle kept telling Mum and Dad that I'd come down when I got hungry.  I was already hungry and needed water.  The next night it rained and I licked water off my coat.  I cried and tried and Mum would talk bac.  I still wouldn't come down.  Mum called the town to see if they woul bring the bucket ttruck.  They said "No".  She was going to hire one from the big city, but she leasred they only went up 60 feet, less than half the height where I was.  Mum was hysterical.  She coul hear me cry but couldn't reach me.  She and I both were so scared and upset.  By Saturday it rained again so I had a liilt taste of water. Dad was upset too but tried not to show it.  They were afraid they'd have to put Mum in a hospital.  ByMonday she called a lumberjack.  He came with his worker and ropes and climbed up as he could safely go.  I still couldn't be reached.  It was so tall, but since I weighed so little I could get really high.  He had a long fishing pole to touch me.  I ran down the tree until I was about 30 feet from the ground and I jumped.  It was a miracle that I landed on my feet and took off running.  I came home very thirsty and hungry in about 2 hours.  She was so happy.  She loved and loved on me.  Mum called the vet to come over to check me out.  I was OK.  I slept with Mum and Dad the next 2 nights.  I am really happy to be alive and well.  I'm sticking pretty close to the house, even on the warmer days.  It was Halloween....

September-October-November

Let's start with today.  Mum bought and had installed a new complicated cat door.  It's bigger, magntized and has controlls:  one lets everyone in and out; onef out only; one for in only; and one for locked.  The problem is it's new and different.  We don't like it and the flap is heavier but Mum says we have to use it....


In September Mum went to Texas to be with her father.  She had to make the staff do their job.  She can be that way.  I slept with Dad the first night.

The she had surgery on her left hand--carpal tunnel.  She said it was "a piece of cake".  I didn't see any cake.

Mum and Dad left us home when they went to my sister's (Tori) wedding to Dave.  They left Chase, Larry, and Boxer home.  Of course all of us had helpers who came in to feed us.  Her cats had a live-in helper. We were all home when they came back

That's all for now.  Tomorrow I will tell about the horrible nightmare.....
