Kissing Wiggles Goodnight

Hey everyone,

I just had to tell you about the cutest thing Wiggles did last night. I will set the the scene:
Mom and Dad sitting on the couch. Wiggles sitting next to them both. Me standing up going to bed.

I went over to hug my dad and then I went over to my mom and as I started to leave, Wiggles made this weird noise. I thought that I had stepped on his tail or something, but his tail was curled around him. So I looked over at him and he was looking at me. Then my mom said "I think he feels left out." So I went over to him, got on my knees and he stuck his little nose out towards me like he does when he wants to be kissed. So I kissed his little nose and rubbed his head for a minute and when I got up he just looked at me as if to say, "It was very nice of you to remember to kiss me goodnight...you may leave." So I did.

Anywho, I just wanted to share that story with my fellow kitty-luvers.

Ducks in our Swimming Pool

Hey everybody!

I thought this was the cutest thing and I wanted to share it with you. It isn't all about the cats, but it involves them.
We have a pair of ducks that are visiting our pool daily now. I'm hoping that they have a nest or something in our back yard. A couple of days ago my mom saw some big birds fly into the pool. I stood up and looked and found a male pecking at a female. Well, I didn't like that, but then my mom and I saw that it was two males fighting and one was standing on the female. It looked like she was going to drown. (Don't worry this story has a happy ending.) Then one of the males backed away as the other male stood up in the water and flapped his wings. He then went over the the female and they both got out of the water. The male who had lost got out of the water to, but on the opposite end. The pair of ducks looked sooooooooo cute together and the story reminded us of The Inheritance, so we named the female Edith (Edee for short) and the male James Percy (J.P. for short). Of course we won't see the other male duck again...his pride was too hurt. But we named him anyway, Lord Arlington.

I'm hoping that in the spring we'll have a bunch of little duckies.



The kitties are very happy about it all. They love watching them. I don't know what they are thinking when they are watching the happy couple, but they are having fun. Even now Tyler is asleep and the birds are still in the pool. And Wiggles is out catting around I guess. I assume that means they've decided to accept the Edee and J.P. as part of the family.

All the entertainment cat's will ever need is a window with some birds outside of it.

Magic Worm

I always like to get my kitties something for Christmas and I couldn't think of what to get them this year. Well, my mom and I went to visit my grandma and we went to a huge mall where she lives. We were walking around and I saw this lady demonstrating "The Magic Worm".
Anywho, so I saw it and I thought, Tyler and Wiggles would love watching that thing moving. So I bought one.

Needless to say they loved it.

How Did You Get Your Cat?

Hello everyone. I want to know how you got your pet. Perhaps you went to the pet store not expecting to buy anymore pets or-if you didn't have any pets at all-you didn't think you would be getting one, but you did. Maybe you found your pet on the street and rescued it. If you don't have a pet tell me how you would like to find your pet. Maybe the pet picked you from the very beginning...after all thats how I got my two cats.

Tyler: I got Tyler for my fifth birthday. My parents suprised me one day by telling me that we were going to go pick up a kitten in an hour. I don't remember if a cat was my favorite animal, but if it wasn't already it quickly became so. My Grandma who lived with us at the time had found an article in the newspaper that read: "Two Adorable Gray Kittens." When we got to the home of the people that were selling them, there was only one adorable gray kitten left...and that was our Tyler. My mom was looking around for the kitten and didn't notice a girl plop him into my arms. The little kitten wasn't scared at all, on the contrary, he started to purr and almost went to sleep. I looked up at my mom and smiled she smile back and said, "He's the one". Of course we took him home and he quickly became one of the family.
Wiggles: Wiggles was a little different...okay a lot different. We'd had Tyler for six years. I had given up trying to talk my dad into getting another one, even though I had never given up wanting another one. One night my parents and I went on a family walk and as we were walking by this one house (that my mom had always loved the mailbox of) we saw this lady holding three kittens in her arms. We stopped to look at them and the lady just gave each one of us one of the kittens to hold. The one my mom held kept wanting another lady that was standing next to the lady with the cats, the one my dad held, was kindof skittish, but the one I held just looked at me and then would look around a little, but turn back to me. We found out that they were born at a farm in Northern California. And had been brought down here, were a relative of the family who had the farm, was looking for homes for the kittens. I didn't even think about asking my dad if we could take one home. I knew-at least I thought I knew-that he would say no. Then my dad said we'd go home and think about getting one. Think, doesn't always mean yes with my dad, so I didn't get my hopes up...much. After we started walking again my dad said, "I think we should get one of those kittens. Tyler is getting a little fat and it would be good for him to have some excercise. A little kitten just might do the trick." My mom and I were shocked. The next morning my mom called the lady and arranged that the next day we could come over and pick which one we wanted. I went to a friends house that day and told her family all about what had happend. The next day my mom and I went over to the lady's house. The lady opened up the garage door and out came the three kittens. Two of the cats went zooming towards a bowl of milk that had been placed on the driveway, the other however went zooming right over to ME! I recognized him as the kitten I had held two nights ago. He had remembered me. I looked up at my mom, just like I had done when we got Tyler, she smiled and said, "He's the one." He has been my little Caluba ever since.

Seeing-eye cat?

I just read a story in a magazine about a cat and a dog. Now you've all heard of a seeing-eye dog, but have you ever heard of a seeing-eye cat? Neither had I, until now.

There was a family who had a dog and a cat. Well, the dog lost his eyesight, so their cat, would lead the dog around, by nudging his his shoulder. This cat would take the dog to his food and water, he would lead him outside and would even follow him when he went on walks with his owner.

Now if there are any non-catlovers reading this, you've got to admit, that cats are sweet, special, and SMART. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the dogs have to be trained to be seeing eye dogs? Yes they do. Did this cat get trained? No he didn't.

I do love doggies to though, so I must allow that the seeing-eye dogs do a lot more than just nudge people around and are very smart as well.

I just wanted to share that story with you. I hope it touches your heart.

Please email me any sweet stories about cats, that you know.

If you are worthy of its affection, a cat will be your friend, but never your slave.
