All humans seem to be really sensitive to our claws. Mom keeps

night
and I like to include some acupuncture with it. She said the
acupuncture hurts her too much.

I tried to climb mom once when I was a baby and she didn't let me!

Well, if they're going to stand so vertical, just like a tree, they
can expeecct to get climbed. Isn't there a law about that?


Mum, (my
cat meowmie, Diana) singz along, but only wif da Brahms
intermezzo. Strange she duzn't seem to care as much fur Chopin or
Debussey or
Bach. Da Brahms iz really beautiful harmony, maybee that'z got
sumthin ta du wif it.

We don't have a piano or any other musical instrument. And mom
said
that she doesn't listen to much classical music. She also said
that the only musical instrument she knows how to play is the CD
player!

They make beautiful music tuu, and ov all sorts. We have the
computer sound card hooked up to da stereo and da sound comes out
da big speakers.

Where are you guys? It's so cold there! Are you at the North
Pole? If you are, do you ever see Santa Paws?

We'z in da province uv Quebec, in Catnada, just a few miles north
uv da Vermont border. Sum uv those green mountains stick up into
Catnada so we've got beautiful hills, but they'z not so green this
time uv yeer. This morning we got two liddle drgrees Farenhite and
snow.
Fred's got to go clean da snow offuv da driveway cuz mum is going
da ta TED's today to get fixed what isn't broken. We'z upset cuz
there's no fud down, only wadder, an I am not lookin forward to
being left alone. Mum & I don't like tu be seperated. It's going
to be an anxious day fur all uv us.

Ah Ha! I knew I had a right to play wif da glass thingys hangin on
da window! An' Fred KNOWZ it too. When I sharpens my claws ona
his leg he goes "OW Ow Ow!" but he duzn't make a move to stop me.
I'ze thinkin I might cut down on that a bit just in case I might be
hurtin him. I'm not sure, but he seems to be reactin like he might
be in pain and I'm really wonderin ifn that the sort ov thing a cat
should do. It just neffer okured tu me before.


Mom doesn't seem to have any music of cats singing though!!!
That's the most beautiful music that I know!

It's definately beeootiful, and the love ballads can be so sad and
moving.


It's been really cold here too. It was about 7 here when mom was
ready
to leave for work! And we're in southern Michcatgan.

It sounds far away, but Fred says he's been there, well, Shikago
and a placee called Schaumburg, when he wuz werking fur motorola.
He went to sum meetings der.

Fred's got to go clean da snow offuv da driveway cuz mum
is
going
da ta TED's today to get fixed what isn't broken. We'z upset cuz
there's no fud down, only wadder, an I am not lookin forward to

Does your mom know what's going to happen to her? All of us are
purring for her here!
I hope Fred fed you have he took your mom to TED.

Da TED called an said da operashun went furry well and Mum is
recoverin just fine. Der is an infected ingrown claw dat will need
sum aunty Biotiks fur a few daze, but Fred keep tellin me that
she'll be komin home today, but all I can think about is that she's
not here NOW! Still it's not as bad as I thot it wood bee. Like
wen those little yellow birds kom tu the feeder by my window tu
entertain me, I totally furget that mum isn't heeer.
She's probably not tuu happy being inna ccage at da TED's, and
wunerin why we'z all abandonned her, but it'll just be anudder two
hours and Fred'll be pickin her up. Ifn we can gets throo those,
we'll be all home again and OK.
Fred's gottu stop sekreataryin now and go get ready fur da trip.
It's scary. He sprays wadder all offer hisownself. We is always
amazed an wunder why he duz this. It must be effer so
uncomfortable, but he duzn't seem to mind. Still it puts sum
humidity inna air and da hous gets so dry in winter, effem wif da
humdingifyer machine goin.

It's hard to tell if we're hurting them because they don't cry like a
kitty does when it's hurt!!!! So I don't know what's going on when
they say ow!

That's the most beautiful music that I know!

It's definately beeootiful, and the love ballads can be so

You might have to do some therapy on her because she was away from you

Gudgud point. Now ifn we had a record, would it be tuu powerful?
Would we go lookin fur da kitties an not realize that it wuz a
rekording?


We've heard of Shikago, but not Schaumburg. We live west of
Detroit!

Ah. That's right. I wuz on da wrong side uv da lake wuzn't I.
Well Fred drove thru Detroit tu get to Shikago. So maybe he went
right past your home, or nearby.


Does your mom know what's going to happen to her? All of us
are purring for her here!
I hope Fred fed you have he took your mom to TED.

Oh yes. When mum was in da travel case, I got feded furry well, an
then they left me alone, but I wuz OK.

Da TED called an said da operashun went furry well and
Mum is
recoverin just fine. Der is an infected ingrown claw dat will

wen those little yellow birds kom tu the feeder by my window tu

Is she home yet?

Yes, yes, she's back home an sleepin a lot. She climbed on Fred's
lap and slept like she wuz neffer going tu move, so I joined them.
I kept tryin to lick where she had her operashun, but Fred wouldn't
let me. I wuz furry put out about that, but then he showed me that
I should be gentle wif her, and I got the idea. I'ze a pretty
smart kitty.

She's probably not tuu happy being inna ccage at da
TED's,
and
wunerin why we'z all abandonned her, but it'll just be anudder
two
hours and Fred'll be pickin her up. Ifn we can gets throo those,
we'll be all home again and OK.

You might have to do some therapy on her because she was away from
you so long!

She's kitten lots uv TLC and things is nice & kwiet around heer.
She looks a little thin, and smells a bit funny, but she's perkin
up a bit now.


We have a humidifier too and it's still kind of dry here.

Yes. You knows eggzactly what I means. Mum and I both snort now
and then tu keep our noses moist. Fred used to think we wuz
sneezin, but then he caught on. He tries to keep it moist fur all
uv usses, and fur da piano which will go out uv tune ifn it's tuu
dry. When it's real Kold in da Out, he runs da humidifier all day
and night.

And mom
does
the watermonsters on her body too. We've peeked at here and they
get on us and it's horrible shudder.

Ya. We dusn't hang around long when da wadder monsters is loose.

Oh yes. When mum was in da travel case, I got feded furry

Didn't they play with you while she was gone?

That's good. She'll probably smell funny for awhile! Nathan did when
he came back from TED and both Chester and Nathan said I did when I
came back!
