It has been a really long time
June 20, 2007

I know, I am terrible at writing. I have been bad. However, I have a completely legitimate excuse! Actually I have a couple of them. You see, first mommy has been a complete computer hog lately. I have to sneak to use it in the evenings. Then there was a pretty major problem with me physically. I hurt my paw.

I was getting frustrated with not being fed in the morning, so I was on daddy’s desk and when I jumped down, I jumped the wrong way and sprained my paw. I was miserable for quite some time and confined to one room. It was kind of fun aside from the pain. Mommy came home from school early because she was worried about me. She brought food to me while I was in my bed. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed.

Now, having an injured paw means no typing for quite some time. I’m still cautious about doing too much running, but I don’t let any of the humans know that.

Now, I’ve devised another plan. I have started to make them think I am crazy so they will feed me. There are curtains in the living room with the color name “mocha-praline”. I have started licking the curtains when they refuse to feed me early. It completely baffles them as to why I am doing this.

Honestly, it is just to get them to feed me. It usually works. I say usually because tonight it didn’t. I think that’s because mommy is frustrated that I got my hair all in her laptop keys. She’s on a deadline and not happy that my hair is “clogging up the keyboard”. Daddy is busy doing whatever. I don’t even ask anymore because I don’t think I want to. What do they do in the garage? It is dirty and dark and not really all that much fun.

I’ve started going on the back patio. There is a sweet young girl cat that comes to visit occasionally at the window. She is quite young, but has already had a litter. I think she just wants a mommy or at least a big sister. Mommy has mentioned about maybe taking her to the vet and getting her checked out. That would be nice. She always runs away when mommy or daddy get a little too close. I’ve tried to tell her that these are humans she can trust. I hope I can get through to her. She is quite sweet.

Well, I am going to go work on the curtains again. I would work on getting the fridge open to get it myself but this fridge has the freezer on the bottom. I swear they did that just to keep me out. That is so not cool. Maybe if I had stilts. Hmmm. Night diary.
