finally an update!

excuse the lack of updates. mommy has been participating in nanowrimo and daddy does not know how to help me blog. (yes, mommy needs to teach him how. unfortunately, this results in much hissing back and forth between them so mommy just does it.)

on sunday, mommy set up the playpen for the daniel kitten so he could roll around and try to crawl in an enclosed space. he was not using it that afternoon so i decided to check it out.



(mommy says to ignore the mess -- she's been busy and hasn't had time to pick up.)

daddy told me to get out of the playpen but mommy grabbed her camera and took pictures instead. she then put the daniel kitten in to see what would happen.



(note the lions on the feet of his sleeper.)

so far, i have suffered the injustice of having to share the playpen with the daniel kitten a few times a day. mommy tells me to be patient and let him explore because it is much better than him crawling around outside it and chasing me. i can also get out on my own -- he can't.

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?
