Christmas is over at this house

Hi all,

Well, I found out that when Connie gets upset, she can be violent! She hit me twice on the nose yesterday while I was trying to help her pick up some thin, sharp, shiny things from the carpet. I tried to tell her I was just trying to help, but she was soooo mad, she just didn't listen. Let me start by saying, she is sick and kind of drags herself in to the house - well, yesterday she did. Today is better! Anyway, she came into the living room and laying on the floor next to Shadow was the Christmas Tree. Surrounding the tree were all these pieces of shiny things - sharp little buggers too. She asked Shadow if she did it and Shadow just laid there looking at her - I guess that means the cats did it. I haven't quite figured out how that all works, but anyway, she knew Shadow hadn't done it. Along with losing some of those shiny balls from the tree - the tree stand broke so it can't be used again. I heard her tell Russ it was a cheap tree anyway, so I don't know why she was so upset. She said it was one less thing to pack - I don't know where she is going but she was planning to take the tree with her and now she is not. I sure hope I get to go! I would be sad if she left me behind. Guess this means we will get a new tree next year. Sure hope she doesn't want to get a new kitten or cat too! I better go - Happy New Year. Tigger

My Christmas Present

Hi all,

You won't believe what my Christmas Present was! I was totally shocked. First I got dropped off at the vet on Thursday afternoon and they were very nice to me and they all thought I was so handsome! Friday was my present and it was something I don't even want to talk about - how embarrassing for a little guy or maybe a big guy too. Remington - don't let Beth and Mike talk you into this one. I came home missing some body parts and some claws (which Connie says is OK since I was scratching the furniture and walls). She said they don't do that part to dogs, so R you are safe in that respect. I can't believe it. The only good part, so far, is that I am on some kind of liquid today and tomorrow and it helps me to sleep. So I have been sacked out on the foot of Connie's bed on a nice soft blanket. I can't have my usual litter, I have to use shredded newspaper - more embarrassment - for FIVE days. I just want my regular litter back. I guess this is all for now.

Signing out as Tigger the missing body parts kitty.

My present is next week

Connie keeps telling me that I am going to get my Christmas present next week. She is so excited about it and every time I scratch on her chair, she says she can hardly wait!! It must be a great present. I am thinking maybe it has something to do with the chair! Last night when she went to bed, her fingers caught a little tear in her brand new sheets and she wasn't very happy with me. Maybe the Christmas present has to do with sheets.

Little Shelby was out today and everything was fine until about 2 PM and the she got this funny look on her face and threw up. Both Connie and Kellie thought they were going to be sick, too. Connie rushed her to the bathtub and took off her clothes. Kellie wrapped a towel around her and held her for a while. I tried to clean up the mess, but it was just too much for a little kitty. Connie used that big machine with water in it that looks like a vacuum cleaner.

Shelby took a long nap and seemed to be just fine after that. She had been just fine before that, too. Maybe she ate too much.

Well, I got caught trying to sneak out of the house and Connie hurt her back and ankle trying to get me back in - that was a week or more ago. She didn't get hurt too bad so I think I was pretty lucky. She might have sent me back to the woodpile.

I guess this is all for now. I will write more after I get my present.
