Digby Knows Everything

This is Digby, tolerating getting his picture taken.

Digby really did know everything. He knew it was time to cross the Rainbow Bridge so he did so this morning. I will miss him terribly. I will miss being howled at every evening when I walked in the door after work. I will miss him waking me up for pets in the middle of the night. I will miss how he used to bunny-kick his 'nip mousies. I will even miss fixing his favorite stinky goodness twice a day. I will miss him forever...until we meet on the other side of the Bridge.

Ooooooo, I been tagged!! This time I will answer...bwahahahaha.

Five Weird Things or Habits about me:

1. I get all embarrassed when my mom watches me play with my 'nip toys.

2. I like to hang out on the back of Mom's recliner and pat her head until she pets me.

3. I don't like it when Mom reads (thus ignoring me) so I talk to her real loud about every 10 minutes when she does that. Wouldn't want her to forget that I'm asleep on the pillow next to her!

4. I like to chase flies when they gets into my apartment.

5. I howl like a fiend when Mom gets home from "work" until she feeds me.

and a bonus:

6. My mom calls me "Tiny Boy" just like William's mom calls him!

Wow! I've been tagged!!! Nobody ever did that before! I don't have photos of them but I see lots of itty bitty finches, some robins, and my grandma has chickens! My mom got a new phone what takes pictures but so far she has only taken pictures of me! When she figures how to upload them to our computer, I'll put them up. I'm a beautimous black-on-black tabby with a silver undercoat. Mom likes to show people by rubbing my fur the wrong way so I bite her whenever she does it. It doesn't stop her, though. Like I've said before, she never listens to anything I say!!

PS I am making the print bigger so us older kitties can read it. Mom makes the print on the screen bigger but that doesn't seem to make my blog writing bigger!

Well, now I believe I is gonna tag some other kitties about their birdies...watch out!!

2006-04-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Yes, it is true. I do know everything. I know that us kitties are smarter than them humans. How do I know this? I know that they have to go places and do stuff they don't like (my mom says that she works with idiots all the time...whatever that means). My mom always looks happier when she comes in the door in the evening than when she is going out the door in the morning. Of course, I have no interest in going out there. I just watch from the hole in the blinds (not sure how it got there ;o)) and feel really happy that I don't have to go out there!

My favoritest part is after my dinner when mom sits in the recliner. I sit behind her on the back of the recliner and she scratches my neck and talks to me. I talk to her too but I don't think she understands a word I say. Like that singing show she watches -- I ask her to turn the channel but she never does. We watch "House" after that. Mom says that she has learned from him that using a cane can be very useful; that she can be handicapped and have cattitude.

Cattitude is good!

This, we all know: cats rule, dogs drool. Just had to say that! Glad all those stupid people-on-sticks is over with. Now my mom is watching people sing dumb songs on TV. She doesn't call them after the show to vote, thank goodness! I'd never live that down. People can be so odd. Us kitties would never stoop to singing on TV!!

2006-02-11T20:57:00.000-08:00

Long time no write! Long time nothing to say!! Watching the Olympics. Booooooring. No cats so who cares?! Besides, us (we?) cats would not be crazy enough to put sticks on our feets and let some human push us down a snowy mountain!! And I am certainly not going to volunteer for any of the ice stuff unless they let me play with the hockey puck. Even if they do, there had better be treats involved if I have to get cold!

We had a great weekend! Mom went to the library and got some books while I kept watch on the home front. When she got home, I got to have stinky goodness (my favorite -- grilled chicken!) for dinner and more crunchies for later. I supervised her this morning so she got to church on time. We worked on an art project this afternoon and watched the extended version of "The Fellowship of the Ring." It was kind of cold (for here, anyway) so mom is splurging by turning up the heat a little. Purrrrrrrrrr.

Mom is watching the second X-Men movie now. Most of the movies she picks are pretty good. This one isn't too bad, though. Such a relief to know there is still good SF on TV sometimes for moms and kitties to watch together! If only the Sci-Fi Channel would show some of the good SF movies...instead of the tripe they usually show! ;o) Hope all of my kittypals are warm and toasty!!

I don't know if my mom ate a bug like William's mom did, but SOMETHING is certainly not agreeing with her! It has been nice to have her around, though, even though it has really been cutting into my web surfing time. She went back to work today so the computer is mine! Bwahahaha!!! We watched "Return of the King" again on Saturday and played Star Trek trivia online with mom's friends and that was pretty fun. We got lots of good naps in too.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! Happy Hanukkah to the Jewish kitties and Happy Kwanzaa to the African kitties! And Happy Winter Solstice to the Wiccan kitties. That should just about cover all of us! Mom and I had a fun day reading and cuddling. Then mom went to visit her people family (after telling me she'd really rather stay home with me). She came back so now I have to go help her read some more.

2005-12-14T20:12:00.000-08:00

My mom works too much. She goes away in the morning and comes home at night. Then she sits in front of the computer for too long and pets me. Then she reads and pets me some more. Sometimes she doesn't pet me enough so I wake her up in the middle of the night so she can pet me some more. So it all evens out.

2005-12-12T20:24:00.000-08:00

Wow! I have a photo request! Now, if I could just get my mom to get a camera.... Mom says I'm a black-on-black tabby with a silver undercoat. I just look like a black cat to me. Mom also says I look like I might have eaten a volleyball. I don't know why she says that -- I only eat food, not toys! I like to ignore her for a while when she comes home and feeds me after work. Then I like to drive her nuts while she's trying to read her e-mail. If I drive her crazy enough, she walks away from the computer and then I can check my e-mail!

It's a typical (for me, anyway) Saturday night. Sleeping, watching TV, watching Mom play Star Trek Trivia, sleeping some more. She really is a nerd but nice to live with otherwise. She even pets me when I wake her up in the middle of the night.
