April 2008

I'm pretty strong now, I can climb all the way up my cat tree from the bottom.  My parents are proud, although they don't let me climb anything else.  They put stuff on top of things that I'm not supposed to be on.  If I don't see any room, then I don't go on top of it, I'm pretty cautious.  I'm on prescription food right now (duck and pea), which I don't really like.  I'm on a food trial to see if I have food allergies because of my esinophilic granuloma outbreaks.  Mommy doesn't want to put me on regular steroid shots, so she wants to try and change as many things as she can to see if I can get fewer outbreaks.  I got a allergy panel and I was clear for everything but cocklespurs.  I'm different from my cousins, who eat EVERYTHING!  I like to smell and look at what my parents are eating, but I don't want to eat any of it.  I don't like any of the wet food that my mom keeps trying either. 

I love to look at the birds outside, I can look at them for hours.  I love to jump in the bathtub too, although one time, I jumped in without noticing that the shower was on and got all wet.  I was running so hard to get out, but the bottom was slippery.  Mom and Dad had to catch me and dry me off. 

They let me sleep on the bed with them.  I like to cuddle in the morning, but I learned that it's useless to try to get them to wake up unless that noisy alarm clock goes off.  Then I know that they will wake up soon and give me my morning food.

------------------- Well, now it's near the end of April and Mommy thinks that the duck food is giving me puffy lips.  I had a pouty lower lip and then a swollen upper lip with little white spots.  They went away after Mommy stopped the prescription duck food both times.  I'm eating lamb food now and some fish only wet food.  Mommy is going to keep me off poultry for a while.  My litter got changed too, they are trying some green tea stuff and the "World's best litter" corn stuff.  I don't like them that much because they smell more than my old clay litter, but I don't really have a choice - Mommy's doing "all natural" and "green".  Speaking of green, I can't wait for my cat grass to finish growing.  I love grass!  Mommy grows it in my Sylvester and Tweety container.  It's really hard for me to wait when she grows new grass, but it's delicious.  When I hear her grab the pot, I come running no matter where I am.
