daddy has an interim pastor position at a church that is 7 hours north of where we live. he is up there 4 days a week and at home the other three days. mommy and the daniel kitten stay down here except for the weekend of 9/11 when they went up north with daddy. our auntie jojo came and took care of us that weekend. mommy says that this is not the most ideal situation but it means that daddy can earn money to buy us cat food so she is dealing with it.

mommy changed out our litterboxes on monday and put in new ones. my brother cullen was afraid of his new litterbox and ended up using the bed as a litterbox. mommy was not amused. it meant lots of laundry for grandma (who helps with the laundry) and a lot of clean-up by mommy. not a good thing.

the sort-of good thing about mommy being a single mom is that she's more tired and thus will be on the couch for lap snuggles.

the kitten is mobile!

the daniel kitten isn't quite crawling yet but still way too mobile and getting into trouble! mommy had to put up a baby gate this weekend which is high enough for me to get under but low enough that the daniel kitten can't get under it. it means that we can get to our food and litterboxes but he can't.

the daniel kitten also now will chase us and stalk us which does not make my brothers and sisters very happy. he chucked his bottle at my aunt alyssa and hit her which made my mommy laugh (alyssa is a crabby cat and does not get along with mommy) and mommy and grandma joked about duct taping a swiffer pad to his tummy to clean the floors.

sigh...

sad news

my aunt kelly (the black and white cat who lives with grandma and grandpa) went to the rainbow bridge today. mommy didn't know until they got to the vet that aunt kelly was going to the bridge.

please pray for my grandma and grandpa.

mommy! where are we going?

mommy! where are we going? do you need to buckle me in?

making life easier for mommy

mommy got diagnosed with fibromyalgia right around the time i posted last so grandma (daddy's mommy) came over and helped mommy and daddy rearrange the house and figure out a schedule for housework to make it easier for mommy. the fibromyalgia makes mommy tired and gives her pain in various joints so she needed a housework schedule that keeps the snuggery clean but also gives her time to take breaks.

mommy's special fibromyalgia vet just put her on a medicine that helps with the pain and she is hoping it works.

in the last three weeks, i have done my part by snuggling mommy when she's been lying on the couch, especially when she is in pain. daddy has taken over some of the sweeping for mommy but he leaves early to go work for grandma and grandpa so he sometimes can't. i would help with the sweeping, but i am a cat and am immune from housework.

the daniel kitten is doing better with his physical therapy. he is sitting up almost completely on his own and he is almost crawling. (he is "creeping" according to mommy which means that he is dragging himself across the floor.) he will also take things off the table when he is sitting on mommy's lap.

mommy! when are you going to give the daniel kitten some tuna?!?!?!?!?!?!?

daddy found a lizard with no tail in the bathtub this morning. he asked all of us who did it.

i am saying nothing.

(it was probably freya.)
