daniel kitten is teething

the daniel kitten has been crabby and meowy lately. mommy says that he is teething and that one of his fangs is coming in. i don't remember being that howly when my fangs came in but i also was not living with mommy and daddy at the time so they cannot remind me. mommy keeps his pacifiers in the freezer and she gives him human kitten tylenol from time to time. she also rubs red stuff on his gums which is supposed to make them stop hurting. he is also drinking twice his normal amount of milk and eating some yucky runny food which mommy says means he is growing. i do not like the runny human fruits and vegetables but i would not mind if mommy gave me some of the rice cereal.

he is also starting to learn to crawl. this is not good. if he can crawl, he can chase us and i do not approve of this at all! mommy said that she will put up barriers that we kitties can jump over and escape the daniel kitten but i do not know how long that will last.

special day coming up

saturday is halloween, which is my special black cat day. mommy and daddy will still be away in the morning but hopefully home in the evening so i can have tuna.

speaking of tuna, grandma and grandpa were here this past weekend and grandma gave us all kinds of stinky goodness. (the smell of it makes mommy vomit so we don't get it often.) grandma also spoiled me with lots of playing and petting. i like grandma.

mommy is home sick today and the evil white stuff is on the ground. i thoroughly object to the latter thing -- snow is icky. it made it hard for daddy to go into town today to get tea for mommy! i am curled up at mommy's feet helping her nap. i am a good black cat.

the daniel kitten has his 6-month vet appointment on thursday morning. he will have to get lots of shots and mommy/daddy will probably have to get a special shot for the pig flu. i hope this one doesn't make mommy sick like her flu shot can.

mommy needs some help!

my mommy is the charity liaison for blogathon.org and she's trying to find some charities for cats and dogs to feature on their site next year. (blogathon 2010 is not until july 31st but she always has something happen to her in the middle of her planning so she's doing it early.) if you know of one (especially a dog charity), could you please leave a comment.

thanks from mommy and me!

daniel kitten on twitter

mommy is exhausted from the daniel kitten not sleeping last night (or this morning or this afternoon) so she asked me if i could announce to all of you that he now has a twitter account to make it easier for mommy to update.

the link is: http://twitter.com/danieljameskm.

it snowed a little bit on thursday. i am not amused.

six months old!

the daniel kitten turned six months old yesterday. mommy can't believe that it was six months ago that she was very sick at the BIG vet in great falls, having to have him taken out of her tummy. she still has ouchy spots in her tummy from it and had to see the doctor today to make sure those spots didn't need to be worked on.

he now weighs more than me, my brother finian, and possibly my brother cullen. (my sister freya is a little plump so he might still weigh less than her. mommy and daddy tried giving him rice cereal (rice powder with some human kitten formula) and he ate it right up. freya decided to help though.


we're a messy eater.



hi. i'd like some please.


mommy also wanted me to post the next picture of daniel to show how big he is now.

left behind

mommy and daddy and the daniel kitten left this morning for cali-fur-nia to visit daddy's family and go to an interview for a church job for daddy. my babysitter is coming over to play with us while they are gone but i am still very unhappy. i tried to come with them by curling up in mommy's BIG black bag last night but she made me get out. i tried going outside with them this morning but mommy caught me.

what is a black cat to do?

mommy's bad week

mommy was sick on monday so she went to the vet. after seeing her vet and getting her icky pills, she was driving to get something to eat when someone crashed into the back of her car at 35 mph. (mommy was stopped at the time.) mommy is fine -- just a bruised paw and a sore back/neck but the other driver apparently wasn't wearing their seatbelt and has other injuries. mommy's car is totalled and she is waiting for the montana highway patrol to send her the paperwork to make a report.

this is good news for me because it meant that she could not take me to the vet today for my check-up and shots. it is bad news in all other ways.

mommy also has a question for y'all: my sister freya goes crazy for her after she showers and wants to lick and clean her. do any of you do that to your humans??? mommy thinks it's something in her shower gel.
