Hi! Me, Fox and Muffin have been living in our new home for a couple of months now. It was kinda sad around here for a while--when our oldest sister Mouser, had to be put down. Mommy cried and cried. She told us that Mouser had gone to a place called Rainbow Bridge, a place where she won't be in any pain and she told us that Mouser
will be waiting for all of us to join her one day, never to be separated again.

Sep '97: We have had all our shots and will be going back to the Vet soon to get
fixed. We don't want to contribute to the overpopulation by making more
kitties. Anyway, mom and dad tell us that we have really developed, each of us, our
own little personalities. I happen to be mommy's favorite!!! I know she loves Fox
and Muffie as much as she does me but, just look at me --- now isn't that a face
that you would just HAVE to be a little more partial to???!!!
I heard mom and dad say that Fox and Muffie must have known real hunger and
been treated really badly. Fox seems to be a "scaredy" cat sometimes. Especially
if there is a loud, sudden noise--like the door bell ringing. Both Fox and Muffie
eat so fast, you know-like there won't be any food tomorrow or something. I sure
hope they will slow down soon! One of these days mommy says she thinks their
little bellies are gonna bust wide open!!! Our sister, Squeekey, still hasn't
gotten used to us. I don't think I help matters much, though. I

like to chase her all over the house!!! I jump out at her when she leasts expects
it and start chasing her up and down the hall (hehe, I love doing that!!!).
I just think it's so much fun!

Oct '97: Me and Fox got fixed. Boy, I can't wait 'till it's Muffie's turn!!! All-in-all, it

wasn't that bad. We were up and terrorizing the household in No time. We sure have
grown a lot, in the past few months. Mommy says she doesn't want us to grow up too
quick. Muffin has really turned out to be a pretty little girl (or so mommy says). I don't
think so, but then she is my sister. Squeekey still doesn't like us very much. Mommy
says it's because I chase her so much. She says I don't know when to stop. I can't help
it if Squeekey is an old fuddy-duddy. I want to run and play and have lots of fun. After
all, isn't that my job??? Me and Fox have been giving mommy a lot of trouble with her
little Halloween village. It sits on top of the mantle and it has so many little figurines and
little ornaments that hang from a tree. We can't help it if we love to swat at those little
ornaments. Mommy says her village looked really good, until we started jumping up on
mantle. I guess our paws mess up her moss and autumn leaves. Well, I guess we'll just
have to try and better about her little village. We'll try to stay off the mantle. Well,
that's about it for now. Here's some new pictures of us mommy took:

Actually, this was taken when she first came to live with us. She had had fleas so
bad that she had scratched almost all the fur off her neck, head and ears

This is one of mine and mommy's FAVORITE games! She holds the grocery bag open and
I jump in. Then she takes the bag full of "Me" and hangs it on a door knob. I just LOVE to fall
out of those bags!!! Here you can see Muffin's trying to get me but I jumped out the bag
before she could.

Dec '97: Boy, oh boy, have we been having fun?!!! Since it's Christmas-time, mom

and dad have started bringing down boxes with the Christmas decorations in them.
We are having such a GOOD time jumping in and out of all those nice, big boxes!!!
We've been getting into a lot of trouble with mommy. She starting putting up this big
green thing she called a Christmas tree. While all the branches were piled on the
floor, me, Muffie and Fox had the BEST time running through them!!! Then, after
mommy got the tree all decorated with white lights, red bows, cardinals and snow---
why, we just couldn't help ourselves!!! At night, we would hide under the tree and
jump out at each other and I guess our tails would get caught in the light strands and
we kinda pulled them off the tree. And, of course, the snow and the bows came with
them. Mommy got so mad at us! But we can't help it, we're just playing and having
fun!!! Those red bows are great for tossing up into the air. Fox likes taking those big
old cardinals in his mouth and tossing them across the floor. But he got caught!!
There was red dye on his mouth and neck, so mommy knew he had been playing with
those silly birds. Our house looks really nice, all decorated and everything. Well, I
guess that's about does it for now!

Jan '98: Happy New Year!! ! Wow, I can't believe it's 1998 already! Where did

the time go???!!! Mommy changed the background and border on this page. How do
you like it? I don't really like it that much, after all, it's of my sister, Muffin. My Aunt
Patsy thought the gray was too drab. I agree with her. And as you know, there's nothing
drab about us kitties!!! We sure did get into a lot of trouble during the Christmas
holidays, or so mommy says. Me and Fox, well, I guess we did kinda destroy mommy's
Christmas tree. But geez, it was so much FUN to climb up the branches, hide from
Muffie and then when she walked by--jump out at her! Fox got up in the tree more than
I did, though. The tree and all the decorations are down now, so maybe we won't get
into any more trouble (yeah, right!!!) This is a picture of our house all decorated, taken
at night. Sure is pretty, isn't it?!!

Well, guess that's about it for now. We all hope ya'll had a very Merry Christmas.

Mid-Jan '98: Mommy took some new pictures of us and she couldn't wait

for February to put them on here. She wanted everyone to see how much we've

grown; especially Fox! He's almost bigger than Squeekey and she's going on
6 yrs old! Things have begun to settle down now. The holidays are over and we
have actually started to calm down--well, maybe just a little! Mommy says we do
seem to be sleeping more, not running around the house like "little heathens"
she says. Mommy couldn't believe when she walked into her bedroom and found
Fox and Squeekey sleeping in the same bed!!!! Squeekey still doesn't like us!
Mommy said she HAD to get a picture of them!

Now we've got proof!!!

Mommy says Muffin is getting too big!!!

Ain't I just the cutest thing you ever saw!!!

July '98: I know it's been quite a while since mommy last updated this page.

She said something about her ISP, whatever that is, had a crash and lost ALL of my pages!!! And, they didn't have any backups of them either!!!!! Mommy said that really made her mad. Fortunately, for them, Mommy had backups. But, she has to re-create

all of my pages, one by one. So, it's taking a good bit of time to get it done. She said she hopes to have them finished soon, so be sure to check back to see more updates!!!!

Sept '98:

As you can see, our pages are all back! Mommy's got some new pictures

but she hasn't gotten them developed yet. She says we have all grown up now. Of

course, we don't ACT grown up! She says I've changed the most, since I've gotten

older. She told me I was "stocky". I wonder what that means. If that means I'm a man-cat now, then she's right. I am the man-cat of the house. It's my job to make sure everything in the house is run for the care and convenience of us kitties. Mommy tries

to make sure that happens, too! She's a good mommy! She and Daddy do everything

they can to make sure we all have a good and happy life. And THAT WE DO!!!! Well,

as soon as Mommy gets those pictures developed, I'll make sure she gets them on my page. WOW! I just realized something!!! It's almost time for the holiday season to start. OH BOY!!!! It'll soon be time for mommy and daddy to start bringing down all those

great boxes of "stuff" for us to inspect again!!! Don't you just love the Holidays??!!!
