Hello, Everyone!

Please excuse the poor status of my site . . . the template changed and I haven't had time to work through how to manage the changes.

It's been a busy summer and I have a lot to tell you, but not a lot of time right now.

Quick update - my friends moved away; I think Mommy was sad because Aunt Crystal went with them.  I've already been to Knoxville to visit them, though.  Aunt Crystal and Uncle Chas got a new kitten which means that I have a new friend.  Daddy hasn't won any money fishing this year.  Speedy's been too busy fishing to come visit me.  Mommy is traveling too much. 

Be back soon to fill you in on all of the details.

Grandma - if you're reading this, I sent you a gift with Daddy.  Make sure he doesn't forget to give it to you.  Mommy packaged it for me and it looks kinda girly so Daddy was complaining . . . hope you and Daddy enjoy your visit tonight.

Last night, I shared my last supper with my friends in Atlanta.  Mommy & I visited their place that had become so familiar to me,  but it was completely different - a cat's heaven - boxes everywhere, stacked high, with plenty of places to hide!

We had so much fun!  Uncle Chas ordered two large pizzas that they had no problem polishing off.  Then, Aunt Crystal cleaned out the refrigerator & made Mommy take everything that wouldn't be transported to Knoxville, TN.  This will be the first time we've had more than milk & kitty treats in our refrigerator in a long time!  (Okay - I'm exaggerating, but not  by much; we also have orange juice, diet coke, tea, butter, and cheese.)  One could say that my mom likes to keep it to the bare minimum.  As long as I have kitty treats and can share milk with my Daddy every morning, I'm happy.

When it was time to say, "Good-bye" and go home, I was very sad because I didn't know when I would see my friends again.  And, I felt bad for them because I don't think they knew what was happening (they're not as worldly as I am).  Aunt Crystal walked us (and our groceries) to the car.  We were all a little sad, but friendship doesn't have boundaries so I'll see my friends soon.

So, Mommy & Daddy came home a whole day early from the Bahamas, to see me - are you surprised?  You shouldn't be!

They were clearing customs at PDK, which took three hours because they needed to get the plane to McCollum and Bryan, our pilot, was detained for these three hours.  Turns out that Bryan didn't serve his community service for an infraction.  Mommy wouldn't share what he did with me, but said that my fans would understand if they looked at the adjective from my last posting:  Drunken Kitty.

Finally, Mommy & Daddy left Bryan.  No one has heard from him (however, we know that he's incarcerated), since, including Daddy - his employer!  Silly pilot!

Since I mentally prepared for my travel on Delta just over two weeks ago, it's been busy!

Mommy went to the vet to get tranquilizers for the ride.  She gave me two because I wanted out . . . she wasn't listening so I kept asking, to no avail!  She couldn't give me a third because the vet said, "Two's his limit."  Thank goodness!

When we got home & I emerged from my carrier, I could barely stand.  I looked drunk - whatever that is.  Daddy felt really badly.  Mommy & Bryan couldn't stop laughing.  Daddy won't let Mommy give me tranquilizers anymore.  Whew!

Gotta run back to the squirrels, but will finish updating you on the last couple of weeks later.  Long story short, Daddy didn't win any money in last week's fishing tourney (except from one of our neighbors).  Mommy's out of class until June.  Mommy & Daddy celebrated a decade together.  I got to spend a few days with Thomas & Floyd.  Cousin Bryan - he's in trouble!  The Bryan story is probably the most interesting so I'll fill you in on that next. 

Catch ya' later.  --AJ the Kitty Boy

Yesterday, Mommy & I were hanging out in the kitchen when we saw a whirlwind of squirrel on the patio!  These two squirrels were chasing one another in circles &, my oh my, were they fast!  It was so funny that we had to call Daddy, to share it with him.  He suggested that they wanted to make little squirrels.  Not sure how Daddy gathered that from the squirrel pursuit story, but that's what he said . . . go figure!

Daddy's in FL.  Mommy & I go down tonight...I think I have to fly Delta.  They make me sit under the seat - not happy about this!  When I fly in MY plane, I get to fly & I have my very own seat.  I even keep treats on the plane.  I don't think my favorite flight attendant is on this flight tonight so there will be no preferential treatment for the kitty boy - yikes! 

Gotta run.  Need to mentally prepare for this evening's travel.  Catch ya' later.  --AJ the Kitty Boy

Well, Daddy's home from Venezuela . . . he fished in two tournaments & won 3rd & 4th place in them . . . his winnings - $1K & a couple of reels . . . congrats, Daddy!  Hope you win more next time.  That's not gonna keep the treats coming! 

Last night, my parents were behaving very strangely . . . Daddy carried in a bunch of shopping bags & Mommy unmade & remade the bed . . . Daddy never shops & Mommy never does housework . . . am I in the right house?

Let's hope they're back to themselves tonight.

Did I mention that my mommy was in Dallas last week.  She returned with the saddest story about a kitty girl named Tonka.  Once upon a time, Tonka had a home . . . she's a female cat - a little loony as they all are - but she still deserves love, right!  So, there's a tornado.  Tonka disappears for two weeks.  When she returned, here "parents" were beside themselves.  I think they were happy to have "lost" Tonka.  So, they exiled her to an empty yet furnished home, with an avian - now, her only friend.  I feel so badly for Tonka . . . I sent her some treats!  There's no love like belly rubs . . . but, if you can't have belly rubs, treats are the next best thing.  Hope you enjoy them, Tonka!  Wish I could break you out!  At least you have your avian . . . I love my birds & squirrels!

Daddy's tournament fishing in Venezuela & Mommy had to go to Dallas on business.  So, guess what . . . I got to spend the night with my friends on Wednesday.  Mommy didn't pick me up until late last night.  I had so much fun with Thomas & Floyd!  And, when I got there, I found an extra special surprise.  My friend Mary was in town.  She's eight and we have so much fun together! Mary is the cutest 8-year old I've ever met.  She lets me sleep with her & Hip-Hop, her bear.  See how cute Mary & Hip-Hop are!

Mommy forgot to get Grandpa's birthday photo this evening - bad mommy!  I'm a little behind on the birthday hat photos.  Don't have one of Daddy, Grandma, Mommy or Grandpa.  I guess I'm going to have to get my own camera to ensure that I don't miss out on any more great photo opportunities.

Get this . . . Mommy is going to visit my Uncle Will.  She will be away on my birthday!  Daddy said he would take care of my party.  Mommy didn't like that idea very much!  I can't  believe she's missing my second birthday!  I guess we'll celebrate late.

Gotta run.  Catch ya' late.  --AJ the Kitty Boy

How nice to be able to sit in the kitchen and watch my squirrels and birds while enjoying the stereo and playing on the computer (if only my treats weren't locked away in the refrigerator!!!!!).  I sure did miss my computer!  What a world of technology we live in, when even a feline such as myself needs a PC.

I mentioned that my friends are moving.  Mommy & Daddy are talking about getting me a brother so that I never have to be home alone.  If I had a brother, I don't think I'd travel with my parents so much.  I don't revel in travel, but they've taken me everywhere since I was a tiny kitten.  I've been an only child since I was adopted and I don't know how I feel about sharing my parents, my homes, my pet squirrels and birds, and all of my things.  This is going to have to be a family decision so that I'm comfortable with it.  I guess it wouldn't be so bad to have a brother, as long as he understood his place.  Wahoo is great, but he doesn't always want to play.  Maybe a brother would want to play all the time the way my litter mates did.  I wonder where they went to live.  I hope they have homes as wonderful as mine!

It's Grandpa's birthday today . . . can't wait to get a photo of him in his birthday hat!  Happy Birthday, Grandpa!  See you tonight!

Big time squirrel activity . . . gotta run!  Catch ya' later!  --AJ the Kitty Boy
