Cat life crisis
February 4, 2001

Well today was just one of those days. Daddy was over at his friends house last night and today. I didn't feel like doing anything today. Mommy washed clothes and I didn't have any motivation to go running after her. Is something wrong with me? Am I sick? I feel ok. Maybe I'm just getting older. No. I don't want to get older. My fur is darker than it used to be. I used to be such a stunningly beautiful kitten. Everyone just had to be near me. Now I'm getting tired and worn. No one will love me. Why? Why? Why must age be a defining factor in a cats life? Don't my past actions count for anything? Taking care of mommy while she had the chicken pox, daddy when he had the flu. I was there for them. Will they be there for me?

Ok, mommy saw what I was writing (and this is supposed to be "personal"?) and told me not to worry that she and daddy will always love me. I just needed an anti-aging pep-talk. Kitties do get depressed some times. We worry about things too. I don't want to get old. I always want to be a youthful and vibrant kitty. I'm going to work hard to stay that way.

We're supposed to get a Nor'Easter tomorrow. Basically that means cold and snow. I'm stocked up on kitty litter, food and milk. I'll be fine. The power doesn't go out too often here, but the cable could if things ever got bad. I think the cable has only ever gone out 2 times since I've been around.

I've apparently been put on a new regiment of a small treat snack in the morning and a little part of my food allowance about 3 hours before the rest of my food at my usual dinner time. I guess it's an ok plan. It's not like I can do much about it. You just go with the flow. At least I think that's what the human saying is.

I got a valentine from Runtell. How nice. I'm almost done with my valentines. I am not sure if I like them. They are sweet, but there's always room for improvement.

I'm tired. I think I'm going to head to bed. I think I'm over my mid cat-life crisis. At least I didn't go out and buy a new car. But mommy and daddy did. I don't think it was for a crisis though. I think we just needed it. No matter. Goodnight Diary.
