B i g . SUPER. looooooooonnnnnnngggggg. update.

So these past few weeks have been mostly great. I have some time-management things to work out, but other than that it's been great. Where to begin?

I got an iPod the week before Thanksgiving, and it's been awesome! The highlights of it all have been listening to the Bible while driving to school and whenever else I drive for more than a minute and a half, and compiling a super cool playlist from my CD's that has all of my favorite songs on it! Well, actually I really need to fix the playlist again and turn it into two playlists. I seriously need a playlist for my favorite worship songs, and one for my favorite listen to songs. (All my songs are Christian, but some of them are just kinda for listening purposes.) It's been awesome.

The kittens are getting bigger, and older. They love to play most of the time. We have been letting them out more during the day because they've finally been really good at like litterbox stops etc. Their personalities have become waaay more noticeable. Siren is more vocal than Catapultanian by quite a bit. He also likes to be held and petted way more than Catapultanian. Actually they enjoy it equally, just Siren likes it for longer periods of time than Catapultanian. Cat only likes lubins when it's nap time, and the only time Siren doesn't like it is when he's extremely playful. I bought some higher quality baby kitty food a while back, and I've been noticing that Catapultanian has nice smooth furr now. It may be my imagination, but Siren may be filling out more. His backbone still sticks out a little. He's actually quite fine, the lack of bulk in him is probably just the way he is.

School has been going great! I signed up for more classes for the winter term, four total to be exact. I'll be taking math, art, music, and science. I also finally decided to major in Graphic Design. That'll be lots of fun for me because I'm kind of designey.

Thanksgiving was great this year! Our whole (well, not really WHOLE family, but more than usual) was able to come because we decided to do it at our church instead of any house, because even small portions of our family don't fit in any of our houses anymore. In fact, we had somewhere between 30 and 40 people come! Well, at least half of them were kids, but that's still quite impressive! I helped decorate. That was my job... well, besides helping Mom cook her share of food.

I bought some more toy horses. Ha! When, oh, when will I stop buying horses! Well, they were only like $1.70 each, and I bought two, and they're like a set of 5 horses each... mini horses, like very nearly the smallest in the world! But they were so cute, and they were breeds that I pretty much always wanted! But still, I find it funny. I have like this huge toy horse collection of all sizes. Now, I do, amazingly enough, know someone who probably still has more horses than I do. And I know OF some people with larger collections, mostly those who have their own website devoted to a brand of horses which they collect. Ha! Those guys are nuts... but I guess I'm calling myself a nut, too. Sweeto neato!

A couple weeks ago I had a debate with a feminist/atheist... was really weird.

I went to the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. You might say, "Wait, isn't that in (whenever the football Super Bowl is goes here)?" (Sorry, not much of a football fan myself) My answer to you is, "Ah, but I'm not referring to the football Super Bowl, but the Word of Life Super Bowl." A bunch of youth from around the state came to Portland where we all watched a basketball game, in which the Blazers ACTUALLY WON, amazingly enough. Wooot the game was exiting! I actually discovered I can scream! Imagine that! Then we all participated in a youth rally at the stadium after the game. After the rally, we went roller skating at Oaks Park, then on to bowling. It was a twelve hour event from 6pm on Friday to 6am on Saturday. Upon my arrival home, I totally crashed! Then I had two birthday parties later on that Saturday! It was awesome, but I really had a sore throat for a while after that. I got a totally cool hat, and got to participate in the games at the youth rally! It was awesome!

I get to play the piano for a tea party tomorrow. Um, I haven't really practiced the Christmas songs for long at all... only a couple days. And we're going to sing along to them. Yikes! Actually all this week I totally slacked in my responsibilities. Fun, huh? I got to laze around all day! NOT FUN, actually. Despite the easiness of lazing around, I felt horrible. Well, whatever, it's in the past, and now I get to not do that again. :D So after I finish this blog, I'll be practicing piano some more. Oh, speaking of piano, Dad and I went to the church to record some of the songs I wrote on the piano. It was cool! But I'm afraid we may have wrecked the speaker. Rats! Well, it could possibly not have been my fault. Lol!

Well, I had better get back to practicing the piano pieces I'll be playing tomorrow. TTYL

P.S. My cousin's son is sooooo cute! He totally recites Scripture memory verses and is only 2! Check it out! brianandtanya.blogspot.com

Everybody loves homework!

:-D

You think I'm sarcastic sometimes??? NEVER! :-P
Actually homework isn't that bad... but nasty math problems are. We had some really bad ones today that got everybody confused. Ah well. Off to homework I go!

I have had the weirdest days!

Yesterday and today were quite weird. Yesterday I woke up like an hour before my alarm clock. I think the garbage truck woke me up,
and for some odd reason, every time the garbage truck wakes me up, I feel happy. I have no idea why that is. But I woke up happy, and didn't really go back to sleep for that whole hour - well, almost... it was like ten minutes less than hour. After math class, a friend and I (I have a friend from math class, which is nice because we work on homework together after math class) did our homework like usual. I was keeping track of the time with my new watch sitting on the table like a clock. For some odd reason, I got confused and thought it was eleven o'clock when it was really ten o'clock. So at noon, my friend and I left for our next classes. I had plenty of time because I headed for class like fifteen minutes early. I had my brand new rolly backpack and soda pop in hand and just waltzed right into the room. The teacher was already in the middle of his lecture, which I thought was strange because I was early. I was in the middle of making my way to my seat when I noticed someone else was in my seat. Not only that, but I didn't recognize her. I started looking around the room, and my first thought was that there were either new people there today, or they switched the morning and afternoon class without my knowledge! I didn't recognize anyone! Then I saw the clock... "Ah," I said, and it really sounded quite like Captain Jack Sparrow. It wasn't even eleven o'clock yet! Ha! So I walked back out and sat back down in that other room to continue working on my homework. It was actually quite embarrasing, but I tried to shake it off and continue working on my homework. Actually, I ended up being quite glad I had gone to class way early because when I got back I noticed that I had left my leather jacket on the chair! eeeeek!

Then I was just minding my own business working on my homework when some random guy came up to me and asked if he could ask me a math question! Uh... sure? I don't know if it was because he saw my math book or overheard my friend and I or what. My friend and I talk while working on homework because sometimes she gets confused, and I make careless mistakes quite often. I answered his question, and he went back to his seat. I have never had that happen to me before! Well, actually I haven't had either of those happen to me before!

Later on yesterday I went to youthgroup. But it's not as simple as it sounds. See, it was at a new place this week, one I haven't been to before. Before leaving, I looked it up on a map, but the truth about the online map I use is that the arrow points to the intersection, not the building. But I thought, "Hey, I'll find it easily! I know what intersection it's at, and I'll just look for a bunch of cars when I get there! So I hopped in my car, and drove... but couldn't find the place at all! So finally I parked the car and called Mom, who told me to call Gary, who's answering machine told me to call Mom, who told me to call Courtney, who gave the phone to Rashell, who gave the fone to Micheal, who directed me across the street from where I had parked to call Mom!

Then on the way home I couldn't find the bridge for nothing! I went all around the backroads! Wooot! Good opportunity to work on my directional orientation! I drove around for somewhere between fifteen minutes and a half an hour.

Today I got up and got all ready to go to my piano lesson. I went outside and... there was ice on all the windows! I was like "Oh, no! I'm gonna be late!!" I went in and reported the icey windows to Mom... who told me my piano lesson wasn't for another half hour, anyway! So I got the car all ready, and poured warm water on the windows, and started the car to let it warm up... and I still had fifteen minutes! So I just drove to the school. My piano teacher ended up being fifteen minutes late! Ha!

What's even funnier is that I totally forgot to bring her a check! I drove home, got a check from Mom and instructions to go shopping for eggs (I added cereal to the list because I ate the last of it this morning). I drove back to the school, delivered the check, and drove back to the store. The store has been doing a complete remodel these days, and today they are working some more on the refridgerators, including the one that holds milk, and the rack that holds the eggs. I went on a hunt for eggs and milk that took a while. I looked for the chieper prices, grabbed the chiepest milk, walked down a few aisles, grabbed some cereal, payed, and drove all the way home.... Then I remembered I had gone to get eggs, not milk! Rats! I hopped back in the car, drove back to the store, went looking for the eggs, payed, and drove back home.

Phew! What a weird set of happenings! Um, I guess that's that.

For the first time today....

I DROVE by MYSELF to school today!!!!
Wooot! Yesterday Mom and I went waaaaaaaaaaaaay up to Astoria to have me take my test, and I passed! Then I had to take a safe driving test, and voilla! I have a license!!!

Woooot shopping!

Ok, so I don't shop very often. Yesterday was a TOTAL BLAST, though!!!!!! After school, Mom and I went to like six different stores just shopping! I had birthday money from stuff we returned and really wanted to pick the right things. We ended up going to Micheals craft, Target, Old Navy, Ross, Fred Meyer, and Walmart! Talk about FUN!!! I thought it was so funny how the stores sold totally different styles of clothing. I got a totally sweet jacket, shoes, purse, and headband! I'm like so exited!

Our kitchen has had a complete makeover! Thursday Mom and I set to work. We painted the whole kitchen a really pretty blue! And we had lots of stuff on top of the cupboards, but now there's fewer things and it's a lot prettier! It was hard work, though, and isn't done yet. It's a multi-day project, you know! Dad's working on finishing the wallpaper now. It looks great!

Today has been interesting so far... I gave the kittens a bath to try to cut down the flea population. It worked some, but not much. Hopefully we can give them some flea medicine like on Monday. I don't know. We'll see. The other large things on my list of to-do's today are homework and cleaning my room. So why am I blogging??? Ha! Back to work.....

Actually...

So now Dad IS pastor according to the legal interpretation of our church's constitution.

OK, so not quite...

Well, I guess Dad's not quite pastor. There's going to be a vote in two weeks, and I will definitely update then.

It is time...

I haven't posted for almost a month now. I couldn't post because the things I needed to post were too hard to post until now. Other things have been going on, too, so this post is going to be a HUGE update of many important things, yay! First of all, on Sunday the 16th of September, Patteron DeBack died. She had been sick the few days before. On Sunday I came home from church and found her stiff and cold. Sunday was very, very hard for me. I carved her name on a block of wood and put it by her grave. That weekend we went camping (I'll give the details in the next paragraph or something). We left Silver and all the babies, since they could get out of their box by then, in my bedroom with the door shut. We put a huge bowl of water and a huge bowl of food in her room. When I finally returned on Sunday afternoon/evening I found that Silver had not touched her food or water at all and was stiff and lethargic. I tried to get her to eat, but she would absolutely not eat. Mom finally saw how bad she was, and we rushed her over to Judy's house. (Judy is a friend of ours who's a vet technician) She said that Silver was extremely dehydrated and rushed Silver and I to the clinic where she and I drew blood and poked an IV in Silver. That night she spent the night with me so I could monitor her IV. It would beep every now and then in the night and I had to readjust the tube a little bit. In the morning Judy took her back to the clinic where she stayed until Friday. Meanwhile, we had 3 sick kittens to take care of at home, and my school started that Monday. Flazer seemed to be doing the best and was more active than the other two kittens. After having them all in boxes, we decided to move them to the bathtub, which is still working great! Wednesday morning when I woke up around 6 am, Mom and Dad told me Flazer was not doing well at all. Sure enough, he was dead by the time I arrived. That was very hard, too, since Pat and Flazer were pretty much my favorites. But there was no time to grieve because I had to go to school. All this time they could not get Silver to eat. By Friday, the last option was to put a feeding tube down her nose and into her stomach. However, the vet said she wasn't quite in a good enough condition to do so. She had been throwing up, and if she threw up with a feeding tube, it would come out as well. It was time to put her down. My Silver baby! That day was very hard, too. We went to the clinic to say goodbye. Judy got a piece of clay and made Silver's paw print in it. At home I wrote her name, a heart, and the dates on that piece of clay and baked it.

♥ Silver,
8/19/06 - 9/28/07

Turned out, there was absolutely nothing we could have done to save her. Her pancreas had swollen to four times the normal size and had cut off the organs around it. Her intestines in particular (gross but true) were literally dead.

Now I know why God gave me kittens that we didn't originally want to have, and why Pat and Flazer died (I'm sure their deaths prepared and brased me for Silver's). And I know that He gave us Siren and Catapultanian so we can still have a cat. We're going to keep one of them. Thank you God for all the fun we had with all these kitties, even if it was for a very short time. God also provided a distraction on our way home from the clinic. My oldest sister called just as we had left the clinic and we chatted for like an hour, which is plenty of time to get home. Angie, my other sister, knew already because Dad had told her when we borrowed her car (more about broken cars later) and had called Laura, my oldest sister, and told her about Silver. However, the timing of Laura's call, I think, was from God. It could not have been planned. I'm looking forward to seeing more clearly and seeing the reason for all this. For now, I get to take care of our two remaining kittens.

The other things that happened in the past weeks are not quite so traumatic. On our way to the camp ground (I was driving, by the way, and it kinda freaked me out) our car overheated in the stop and go traffic entering the freeway. By the time we were able to pull over, we could see the steam coming out of the hood! We sat between two merging lanes at the entrance to the freeway for what seemed like hours. We left the house at 2:30 that day, and arrived at the campground while it was getting dark! Yeah, I suppose we sat around for an hour or so. Camping was great fun, though! I hiked, sailed, kiyacked, roasted marshmallows, and had a blast! I loooooove the woods! On the way back, the same car once again broke down. However, this time I was driving Angie instead of Mom, and it didn't overheat. Actually I don't have a clue WHAT happened. All of a sudden, the gas quit working, and no pushing on the gas petal would accelerate the car whatsoever. By the time we got to a place to pull over, the engine had died, and with power steering, it was very difficult to steer. We tried to start the motor, but nothing would start. Angie and I waited around over a half an hour before Jon and Jim came to the rescue. On my arrival home, I found Silver...
Monday the next day, I started school. It's been fun at school! Yay! I got a new backpack! I'm so exited about it! Ha! I've never needed a backpack until now, so it's an accessory that I've never really had the chance to have. Well, actually, I do have another backpack, but it's Whinnie the Pooh (which I don't really have a problem with) but it's also old, the colors are not what they were originally meant to be, and the peanut I ate from the bottom of it that the previous owner (I got it at a garage sale) had left behind tasted like the backpack. It was gross! And the backpack is small. This new one rolls along like a suitcase if I want, or it can sit on my back! And it's my favorite color - Red!
Speaking of broken cars, Mom and I drove the blue van to school on Friday because nothing else would work lol! and it broke down while we were on our way to the clinic to see Silver for the last time. We ended up borrowing Angie's car. But now we have functional cars, and soon more will be functional. Yay! Can't wait to get my own broken car! Woooot!

Oh, and my birthday's this Thursday. :D

Bedroom Makeover!

On Thursday this week, I took Silver to the vet to get her spayed... again! And they also gave her some medicine to kill all the fleas. The medicine seems to have worked, for the kitten's box is now full of dead fleas! It's gross, but it's definitely better to see dead fleas than live ones. I've heard of pets that have gotten fleas maybe once in their whole lives, but I suppose Silver is mighty tastey to the little bugs. I'd better change the subject before I give myself the heeby jeebies talking about bugs! The kittens are so cute! They all have open eyeballs now. We've recently noticed that Patteron DeBak is quite a bit fluffier than the rest of the kittens. It's not obvious, and we had to look at her face and tail to see the difference. She is sooo cute! She will probably win the cute contest later in her life, and any buyers (which sounds weird because we'll be giving them away for free) who are looking for a cutie will probably pick her first. They are all now just about halfway from the brand new kitten stage to the curious kitten with the tail straight up, big eyes, big ears, and pouncing all over the place stage. How fun it will be! Their legs are stronger now. They no longer have to scoot themselves accross the floor, but their legs will get stronger. They still are not standing up all the way. They still squeal when I pick them up. They're also a bit bigger. Not much else has changed, though.

While Silver was at the vet on Thursday (we picked her up that afternoon/evening), all day yesterday, and today, I worked on my bedroom! Woa, it's a huge job! I cleaned out like ALL my stuff!! Though I didn't go through my clothing, but that can wait a little bit at least. I have 3 dressers, one for toys (especially in my toy playing days), one for clothing (and one drawer has all my computer games... trust me, it's a lot), and my art desk. All three were full, until now. I emptied two drawers in my toy dresser... one had barbies, and one was the second drawer of horses. Haha! I have so many horses! The barbies are now tucked away in a box in a closet somewhere, ready to wait forever. The horses, even the ones on the 3 level shelf on top, are now split into a drawer, a bin for storage, and just a few on display on another shelf. I can't put them all away yet, though, because I still play with them with my cousins ect. The shelf that was full of horses now has little treasures on there and some art. The few best horses like the horse statues are now on the shelf on the other side of the room, and under them I have put art supplies like paper because that's right by the art desk. The art desk just took some organizing and tossing!!! And some things from it I'm going to give away. Voilla! Only one shelf in use! Well, actually two now, but one is almost empty and I could move the stuff in it somewhere else at any time! Those drawers are perfect for school that's coming up! I'm going to try my best to keep them empty. One drawer from the toy dresser is now used for childrens' ministry stuff. Yay! I now have a place to put some of it! My puppets don't all fit in there, and are still in the closet, but my costume stuff, or what collection of costume stuff I have, is in there. I even cleaned out my closet!!!! Wow! That thing was stuffed FULL of stufffff! I got rid of a lot of stuff, moved some out of my room, organized a little bit, and now I can actually reach some of the clothing in there from the left side instead of the hard-to-reach right side! I'm so exited!

On top of alllll this, I just returned from the store where I got some red sheets, red fluffy and textured pillows, red pillow cases, white fluffy accent rug, and a cute flowery lamp!!! (all this for a budget even I can afford, and without being too pink or over-the-top girly! Now all I need is some red curtains to go with the red bed, and voilla! a red room! I'm also dreaming of getting a red area rug. It would be so cute with a red area rug with the white fuzzy thing on top! Ah, well, perhaps later I can. It looks great, though! Oh, and I also cleared out my computer and clutter that was on top of surfaces like the art desk, the clothing dresser, and the piano!!! That's a HUGE improvement! Well, that's my bedroom makeover. Boy, it would be nice if I could force myself to keep it this clean! :P

Wooot

The kittens have now opened their eyes!!! They're so cute with little eyes and little ears!!! And they can purr already! Well, actually they've always been able to purr. They purr quietly, though, so I have to put my head really close to them to hear it. They mostly purr when they're nursing. And they wiggle their little ears while nursing, too. It's so funny. Back to the eyes... Flazer's eyes were the first to open all the way. Catapultanian and Siren opened their eyes all the way or at least most of the way by now, but Patteron DeBack only has one eye open all the way. The other eye is still mostly shut, and that plus her strange fluff pattern in her hair that looks slightly like a mohawk makes her the most interesting little girl I've ever seen! Ha! She's still cute, none the less. They all are, actually. They still squeal when I pick them up. But as long as their feet are on something like my hand, they stick to mumbling or grunting and mewing. When they squeal, though, mamma comes runnnin! It's so cute! She does a good job of taking care of them, though she mostly only hangs out to nurse them then change their diaper so to speak. Hmm, I'm very close to the overshare line... I should change the subject.

Here's something I wrote like when I was um... not sure exactly. Perhaps I was even nine years old when I wrote it, but like I said, I'm not sure.

Full as full can be

There are four types of fullnesses. The first of which is full as full can be. If you eat until your stomach says "Stop!," you are full as full as full as full can be. I just ate two bowls of cereal which makes me full as full as full can be. The next is when your dinner is something that you don't like as much. You end up not as full as full can be. Not as full as full can be is called not as full as full can be or less full as full as full can be. I am not less full as full as full can be. If I were less full as full as full can be, I would have eaten one bowl of cereal to be less full as full as full can be. The next, full as full can be only more, comes only in one circumstance; after eating Macaroni and Cheese. It is officially called fuller than full as full can be. Fuller than full as full can be comes with a price: pain. Luckily, I am not fuller than full as full can be, less full as full as full can be, or the last: empty. Empty can't be explained, especially not by full as full can be (give or take a few words), because nothing is there. That is the worst level of full as full can be (not that it is a level of full as full can be), but it is eaziest to fix: by making yourself full as full can be. Thanks for reading and happy fulling yourself!! ;-)

The End

More kitten update

Can you tell by now I like my cat and her kittens??? They're so cute! I can totally hold one in my hand! By now they can yawn and stretch their little paws! Their paws are only the width of my pinky, but already they can stretch their toes out! They tend to clamber all over each other and stay in a little clump of fur when mom's not around. When they realize she's not there, they go to sleep. They can even fight eachother a little bit!

Mamma Baby lets me hold them, too, because she has incredible trust in me. They scream for a second when I pick them up, then they sniff around trying to find someone familiar like their siblings or their mamma and keep sniffing back and forth until I put them down. They don't wander around very much. Their bed is about a foot by two feet, and they've stayed in that general location all their lives so far, except when I pick them up.

I can't wait until they grow into the little curious critters with big eyes and tails straight up! It'll be so fun to have 4 little kittens chasing a string together! Maybe even mamma will play a bit, too! She's not playful now, though. Four kittens to take care of is a lot of work!

We still haven't gotten batteries for the camera. I do have pictures of the kittens, though, but they're on my phone and I can't figure out how to get them to the computer.

It's official!!!

The names of the kittens are now official!
In order from oldest to youngest:

Catapultanian - boy - grey tabby with white underbelly and neck
Flazer - boy - grey/gold tabby
Patteron DeBak - girl - dark grey
Siren - boy - black with white underbelly

Catapultanian has always been more outgoing, mobile, and talkative than the rest.
Too young to tell what character traits the rest have that will make them distinct. But I'll know eventually since I'll have them living with me until November.

Kittens Names...

Woohoo!!! I gotta name the kittens! But what??? The naming of cats is a difficult matter... Ooops, I gotta be careful lest I steal some words that someone else has said.

The Naming of Cats

~~T. S. Eliot~~

The Naming of cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
Such as Victor or Johnathan, George or Bill Bailey -
All of them sensible everyday names.

There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter -
But all of them sensible everyday names.

But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?

Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum -
Names that never belong to more than one cat.

But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover -
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.

When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

So, without further adoo, here are the names I've created that run along the lines of that poem:
(Anyone feel free to use these names on other cats and dogs)
Short (Long)

Herbie (Herbazina of Nascar) or (male: Herbazino...)
Zip (Zip Zip du Outer Space)
Flazer (Flying around and Flashing his Light Saber)
Heliopatter
JubJub (Jub Jub Descrumptinano)
Kam (Kampetuous Neliance)
Forelumpaheado
Catapultanian
Tweezerpie
Pat (Patteron DeBack) or (male: Pattimon DeBack)
Sticker (Stickertape Fusion)


But after contemplating which names of this list to name them, I came up with some favorites:

Catapultanian
Flazer
Patteron DeBack
Siren

And I have decided what to name them, though it is more like a complicated system of what gender they all are. The oldest boy is Catapultanian. I think it's the oldest kitten -the grey and white one- that's the oldest boy. The youngest -the black and white one- whether boy or girl is siren. For the middle two, it depends, and It'll be a while to know which one is Flazer, and which is Pat. And these names are only until we find new owners for them and they name them something else. Though, if the owners would like to keep the names, that's great, too. :)

The naming of cats...

New Kittens!

And here they are... 4 tiny little kittens! Yay! I'm so exited!!! Two are grey tabbies, one of the grey tabbies has white. Two aren't tabbies, one of which is dark grey, the other is black and a little white. Will find out later whether they're boy or girl, and I'll need to name them eventually. How fun! I'm a grandma of four!!!!

NEWS UPDATE

SHE IS HAVING HER KITTENS AS I WRITE THIS!!! Awwwwwwwwwmaaaaaaaaaaaan I'm so so so exited! They're so cute! And so little!!!

Silver

Pix of when she was a kitten:


Will add more pix of her as a pregnant momma, and of her babies when they're born later.

Silver, my momma baby (I've always called her baby, but now she's going to be a momma) is my kitty. Her birthday is something like August 28, though can't remember exactly. I got her for my birthday last year. Aww maaan, what a cutie! But what a yummy treat for all the fleas of the world! They seem to love her, but we don't love the fleas. I'm so exited about her new babies! They're due sometime this week, she could even have them tonight perhaps. It will be so exiting to wake up one morning and hear a bunch of mew's! Until then, her favorite hobby these days is resting. Resting, and resting, she lies around all day long! I've been feeding her kitten food to keep her babies healthy, and we aren't letting her outside lest she decide outside is the good place to have them. Man is she tiny, though! Well, besides her big tummy of course. She is five pounds WITH her babies! Imagine her weight when she doesn't have lil ones in her belly! It's easier to hold her because of her weight and size, though. And she's incredibly skinny. I read an article on the internet of how to take care of pregnant cats, and it said to let them eat as much as they want, as long as they don't get fat. HA! No chance of her getting fat! She never has been, never will be. And to make matters worse, or well to make her small size even more pronounced, She has the thinnest fur in the whole world. Now, I've seen cats that they claim are short haired though they do not look at all short haired because they're pooooofy. But my cat is short haired, and it's obvious. It's thin, silky, and flat. I've been good to her. Always have been, and always will be. Her trust is incredible! I can totally roll in a rolly chair toward her at a highish rate of speed and she won't budge or even look. And I can even swing my foot about a half inch in front of her face, and she only twitches because it tickles her whiskers! Normally when I hold her, she doesn't or didn't dig her claws into me. At this point, she sort of does occasionally, but if I ask her not to, she doesn't. She's not even scared of Dad! Well, she doesn't really want him to pick her up, which is fine since he doesn't want to hold her, but she's not scared of him or anything. What a good cat!

First post on normal blog...

One time there was this guy that was stranded alone on an island for years and years. Finally these guys in a boat traveling in the area found him and rescued him. While they were on the island they saw three huts.
"What's the first hut for?" they asked.
"That's where I live," he replied.
"What's the second hut for?"
"That's the church I go to."
"What's the third hut for?"
"That's the church I used to go to."
