May 30, 2000 - Just got back from a visit to the Vet.  Yuck!!!!!!!!!!  He poked me, said that I was a little underweight and then stuck me with a needle.  Mom said it was for my own good and to protect me from getting sick.  I guess that does make sense.  The only joy I get from a visit to him is that the humans cuddle me even more when I get home and they give me treats!  My very most favorite treat is CHEESE!  Especially if it is Cheetos.  Mom says she is going to take a picture of me eating them from the bag and send it to Frito-Lay.  She thinks I could be the next Chester Cheetah (who ever that is).  Maybe I could become a star!!?

April 13, 2000 - Uh-oh!!  Back to that Vet man again.  This time for the OPERATION.  They made me stay in a wire cage over night.  I did not like it one bit...NO SIREE!  But I showed them how I felt about it.  I tried to get out, unfortunately the wires were too close together and I got my nose stuck a bit.  Now I have an owie.  I hope it doesn't leave a scar.

April 14, 2000 - Can't write.  Too groggy.  What did they give me before that dreaded operation?

April 15, 2000 - I'm still a little tired after yesterday's ordeal.  But my teenage humans picked me up and brought me back to my home.  What did that Vet man do to me?  I sure wish I knew what "neutering" means.

April 17, 2000 - ACHHKK, ARGH!  I have come back to my senses.  They took my manhood before I even got a chance to find out what it was!!!  Not only that, I no longer have any nice sharp claws on my front feet.  My poor little front paws are tender, it's a bit harder to climb things now.  (I'll show them, I think I will just "puke" on the new carpet.)  They won't scold me either because I am still "recovering". I guess I'll have to learn how to use my "thumbs" better now.

May, 2000 - All better now.  I am adjusting well to the absence of my "stuff".  It's spring and it's absolutely beautiful outside.  I've been trying to catch birds, but my leash just does not permit me to jump high enough.

June, 2000 - I've found a new fun trick that makes my family laugh.  One day I saw something small flying around the room and making a funny buzzing sound.  I checked it out by jumping up into the basement window and smacking it with my paw.  Mom said it was a big fly.  It just laid there for a bit then started moving again.  So I put it in my mouth.  It started flying again while I had it in there!!!  It made my head literally jump around and made Mom and Dad laugh when they watched.  Humans are so easily amused........

July 7-9, 2000 - Mom and Dad went to a convention called Convergence for 3 days.  Why did they leave me behind with only the Teenagers?  I would have been good.  I made sure that those Teenagers behaved themselves and kept them in line.  I sure missed Mom and Dad when they were gone.  Maybe they will take me with next year?  They said it wasn't for cats.  Hmph, cats belong everywhere.

July 13-24, 2000 - Wow!  I got my very first e-mail on July 13th!  It came all the way from Cambridge, England and was from 2 cats named Dinah and Molly.  You can check them out at in the Cat Gallery.   I also won 3 web awards in the next few days after that first e-mail.  Please check them out on my Links and Awards page that Mom has put up!  I guess I will have to get my own personal e-mail address.
