Bday poem for Mr. Fluffy

Mom found this poem she wrote for Mr. Fluffy 2 years ago. Isn't it beautiful? She misses him so much. I guess he was a real sweetheart.

Happy Birthday, Baby

Fluffy, you were born in 1994
From that moment on, you are the one I adore.
14 years of fond memories have passed,
My love for you will always last.

You are the best friend I have ever had,
You are always there for me when I am sad.
There is not much you ask in return,
Yet, from you, so much I learn.

You have taught me to laugh and smile,
To be sensitive to your meows when you haven't seen me in a while.
To realize that animals too are family,
But most of all, to love what surrounds me.

Fluffy, I am starting to see aging in your eyes so amber.
I have to realize we can not be together forever.
I can not imagine my life without you my friend,
But to think you will always be with me, I can not pretend.

But for now, your 14 years we will celebrate,
And leave the rest we will to fate.
We have an understanding between us that will never die,
Even after you must say goodbye.

You make my life so worthwhile,
Through your purrs you make me smile.
So let us give cheers,
Baby, here is to 14 beautiful and meaningful years.

Love, Mom

New cat!!

...No, not in our household. Grandma adopted a new cat though! She's a 3 year old Ragdoll cat named Maya. We haven't seen her yet, but we're sure she's pretty. Grandma thinks we will look alike since we both have a Lynx coat pattern! We may get to meet her this coming weekend if we go home. :)

Also, Mom bought me lots of neat toys yesterday. I got lots of cool balls and mice, and oh yeah, a new Kong Wubba! I already had a purple one, but Mom decided to get me a pink one. Nah, I'm not spoiled. Mind you, Mom went to throw one of my balls and ended up hitting me in the head! I'm ok though. Anyway, I have been chasing my new toys all over the apartment. Once again, Mom had to move the sofa to fish a bunch of my toys out from behind it.

That is all.

Ahhhh, this is the life!


So Mom, how do you work this "mouse" thingy?


Oh! Like this!!! I'm such a pro!!

My very first vacation!

Mom says that we're going for a small birding getaway in a few weeks! Yup, I'm going too!! She says we're going to a gorgeous spot at this place called Wilson's Beach on Campobello Island in New Brunswick. Apparently, it is very picturesque. We will be staying overnight in a nice cottage by the water (they allow pets). Of course, we will be bringing my stroller too so I can go outdoors! Hopefully it won't rain or be too hot or cold!

On a side note, I broke one of Mom's decorations this morning. She wasn't too pleased.

Where oh where could Prada be??

Mom has just been trying to get my attention and couldn't find me for the life of her. She looked all over the apartment! It turns out, I was right beside her the whole time!! Here I am! (see picture below). I love playing Hide and go seek with Mom!

Vets suck!

Greetings all!

Sorry it has been so long since I've written. Our main computer is on the fritz (the hard drive is fried. A good chunk of money Mom certainly doesn't have at the moment!), so we're using the laptop. It isn't in the best shape either (probably full of Fluffy's fur and shuts down unexpectedly quite often.) Mom's also been very busy teaching lately and preparing for summer employment. Anyway, I am now 3 months old (a little over 12 weeks), and I am just as rambunctious as ever! I actually don't bite and scratch as much as I did though (mind you, her arms are still in an awful shape!). Mom has tried clapping her hands and saying "NO!", but I actually kind of enjoy it. Nothing like grinding her gears!! So now whenever I play too rough, she just ignores me and walks away. Now THAT, I don't like as much.

Because I'm now 3 months old, I had to go for my vaccine boosters and my rabies vaccine tonight. I HATED IT!! No more Miss nice girl. I batted the vet twice and threw a hissy fit when he tried to take my temperature, so he scrapped that idea. GOOD! Seriously, who likes to be probed up the bum hole?? I did hate the vaccines though, but at least it wasn't as bad. I'm in great shape according to the vet. My bones are good, my muscles are developing nicely, I'm growing like a weed, etc.

Mom and I make a wonderful pair. We've really grown close already. I always run to the door when she comes home and I love to cuddle and purr like a tractor when she picks me up. We also have bad moods on occasion, so that works out well too. Hey, we're women!!

I guess my next vet visit will be in about 3 months for my big spaying (or having my "tubes tied" as Mom calls it.) She would love to go for that operation, but the doctor won't do it. Hmmm, maybe my vet will do it for her! Oh yes, Mom also made a final decision.. I will not be getting declawed! Anyway, here are a few updated pics of me Mom took today. (She finally recharged her batteries!)

Well, these vaccines are making me sleepy. Time for a nap.

Toodles, Princess Prada
