what what what ???

today i have been with my family for ninety days and am no longer a tiny kitten. i am cannot avoid the dreaded  "surgical procedure." you may recall that i do not much care for going to the 

doctor, or even riding in the car. i heard that an appointment is going to be made tomorrow!

toes et marshmalloes

i'm hanging out everywhere.

i was annoying

i've been going through this annoying phase. no one can groom me or get a good photograph of me. i run at full speed and jump onto humans and cats. Ched has given up, but Dennis is still trying to groom me.

another milestone

after trying many times and failing many times, i finally jumped up on top of the refrigerator today. i enjoyed the view and then cried for someone to help me down.  before anyone could help, i decided to just go for it and got down all by myself.

i feel a great sense of achievement. 

now and then

as you can see i am growing like a weed in just two and a half months. i'm nearly as big as Chedwick and Doctor Kasman says i'm going to grow at least as large as Dennis. maybe bigger, who knows? 

things that have changed: i can finally jump up on the counter top (sometimes i still crash and fall, but i'm getting better at it.) and i know my name is eddy. (i learned it in august.) i bite quite a bit less than i used to, too. 

things that have not changed: i am still as loving as ever, love all humans and enjoy a good long snuggle  & still love to wrestle big cats. i still run to the door to see who it is. i still cry when i want food. i still play with the remote control a lot and turn the TV off and on and change channels. i still like popcorn.

i do it my way

Chedwick likes to sit on top of the cat carrier, and i love to start wrestling, so this is what happens 25 times a day. Chedwick is very patient.

a lot of people think Chedwick and Dennis fight with me, but it's only play-fighting or them just fed up with me doing things like what is shown in this movie all day long. at night we cuddle up and basically sleep in a pile. we all groom each other everyday. 

another day, another adventure

first i grab Dennis' head, and then i kick his head with my feet. it's brilliant until he does exactly the same thing to me, then i have to come up with a new strategy. (like getting away and leaving the room for awhile.) 

remember my balloon? my balloon was destroyed by Dennis. (long story, i cried, i don't want to write about it.) i helped my mom tidy some drawers and played very nicely with Chedwick. ignored Dennis.

my balloon is special

earlier, someone suggested this as a fun thing for cats (i think it was Lori in Texas) anyway, i got one the other day and it really is super fun!!!! i have been playing with it non-stop. i love to pull it all around the house and the humans say things like aww, look at him run with his balloon and he looks so happy. 

i grab the ribbon and run like crazy through the house. the other cats just stare at me. 

sad sometimes

i'm sad for two reasons today. Mercurie's cat Precious has passed away (see her story here.)

and...

my friend Jack, who is a neighbor's cat, is very sick and old. Jack has been through so much at the cat hospital this last year or two. he's skin and bones but still very loving and cheerful. because he is so weak, and in pain, his vet may be making a house call soon. Jack is and always was a people cat. very friendly.

so you see i am sad today. but it's okay to feel this way sometimes. 

yawn and dance
