Psst...It's me Pyewacket again. I haven't had much time to be at the computer lately, since my mom has been so busy using it with all that gosh darn article writing and of course her novel. But I guess I shouldn't be mad, since after all the novel has me in it...yup--she's making me the star in her book! Can you beat that? She has other novels in the works too, but she's been spending all her time with my story. So are all my friends here today? Petie, Sammy, Abagail, Smokie, Gissi, Ivan, Tigger--just to name a VERY small few--hey I can't remember everyone's name here...there are thousands of furbabies here! Anyway, I thought I'd make this announcement...guess whose birthday it will be on June 17th? Yesiree, mine!!!! I'm going to be seven years old that day, and I want all my friends here to come to my birthday party my mom is giving me...she says she's going to buy me some new catnip toys, and maybe my very own container of Cosmic Catnip--just for me...my cousin Kissy can't share it...na-na-na-na-nah--oh, all right maybe I'll let her have a little bit of it. So everyone can come over for my birthday bash...and of COURSE I'm expecting presents, and presents and presents from everyone...hehe. We can all sit around and sing songs from Cats, also sing, What's New Kitty Cat? (mom tells me I can't use the real word there), Cat Scratch Fever, and dance to the Alley Cat Song..mmmm isn't there a song called Black Cat...that might be good for me. So mark you're calendars, for June 17th and you're all invited for my birthday. Hope to see you all Okay...my mom tells me I got to make a discussion out of this....do your moms and dads give you a birthday party? What do they get you...some toys, extra treats?? Meowwy Pyewacket

I can't come Pye, I'll be helping mom plan Solo's 4th birthday on the 22nd. She says that she knows his exact birthday because the vet's delivered him. I sortta remember that, there was a time when I couldn't get into mom's bedroom she said it was because Cappie had to have quiet to be a mommy. Well, I'll tell you, Cappie was a lousy mommy. Still, Solo came out okay. We've both got mouth problems, so Meowmy says I have to stay home and help plan Solo's birthday. Taj

It seems I have something called Stomatitius, so does Solo. I think mom is only planning a special meal, maybe. I know mom doesn't have too much money for anything special. Anyway, Solo doesn't really like toys and mom has catnip. She'll probably put catnip down for us on his birthday.

aww Taj...what's wrong with your mouth? So your mom is planning for Solo's party...what kind of presents is she going to get? Yeah, some kitty mommy's aren't great ones...my mom often had to play "mom" and feed my different cousins when they were babies since their own mommies didn't

Taj! Poor baby! If your meowmy is out of catnip, you tell her _I_ have some, & she can get it when she's here tomorrow! Or anyway, before the 17th! And I hope you & Solo get better soon! Whiskertickles! Miss Minniver Whitecheek

Leo & Moses here : No my mommy doesn't throw us a party cause she don't know Leo's birthday is. She adopted me (Leo) from the pound. But we do get presents around that time of year she thinks I was born! And usually around the anniversary that we found each other too :) LMAO! You are hilarious. I freaking LOVE this discussion! Miss you!

Hiya Leo & Moses. Great to hear from you. I'm glad to hear your mom does give you presents even if she isn't sure when your exact birthday is--what kind of presents does she give you anyway? Do you think the two of you could come for my birthday? Pyewacket

Humm..our mommy isn't sure yet cause she has to work that day :( But she promises us she will try to! Is the party here? She gives us cat nip and usually some other kind of toy even though she says we really don't need them. We've got good ones in the past like jungle gyms and such too.

Hi pyewacket You had me going there for a while, when I read that you were turning 7 and how well you were writing, I said this can be a little boy, lol, it had to be the kitty,(hope you don't me calling you that). I just have to tell you, that my Jr, looks so much like you. I'll be sure to bring kitty,Jr, charlie and Peewee to the party. That if you don't mind. Jr just turned 2 years old in February 21. I wished her a happy birthday and gave him tuna for breakfast. Do you happen to like the song "Smelly Cat" (not that your smelly).

what is the novel about? how much of it is your life and inspired by reality? what is it about your life that was interesting that would make an interesting novel? i also wrote a novel...it is fiction but inspired by crazy things and crazy people in society...sociological content... gumby doesnt need a birthday party...he just enjoying running around, whining, sitting in windows, and playing with his scratch boards and scratch posts.

A lot of the story has autobiographical elements to it, so a lot of real life references...but told from a cat's viewpoint.

that is similar to my novel..it tends to be autobiographical too, but told by the main character, which is human but has the name of my late dog.

Hiya Junior Awww sorry to hear no one remembered your birthday...My mom has remembered my birthday...which is now today...but she's kind a low on that green stuff that buys things so can't get me anything special...she's trying to find the cards she printed up herself to put out and display...but hasn't found them yet. We're both very sad too...last night there was a terrible storm..and the one tree in front of our window came crashing down...she's so mad since she blames the tree "experts" that chopped down a lot of big branches for weakening the tree...I'm sad too..now those birds I used to like to watch won't have a tree to perch in..not a very happy birthday for me

Aww--thank you Howard. No don't worry I won't eat too much. Can't vouch for my cousin though..she's a bit of a piggy which is why she has a chubby belly..shhh..don't tell her that or she might get insulted. I sure wish I really could have a birthday cake but my mom says sweets aren't too good for us kitties, especially anything with chocolate..but maybe I could convince her to make a salmon and tuna cake???

Happy Belated Birthday, Pyewacket. I wish I had known or I would of come. Mom's been really busy offline and had shut the computer down on me again so I couldn't come on here like I wanted to to see if any of my friends were online. She just turned it back on a few days ago and was busy playing catch-up on here so I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I have a catnip mouse around here somewhere you can have for a present. Lil' bro was playing with it last so don't know what he did with it. Whenever mom finds them, she always refills them with more catnip for us. Since my mommy doesn't know any of our b-days, she just picks a day and celebrates it with us by buying us catnip mice for us and bones for big bro.

Me playing with a plastic bottle. - I was bored and found this in the recycle bag. I had a ball chasing it all over the kitchen floor and driving my mommy bananas with the noise.
My mom makes those types of toys for me as well but she just can't get them durable enough for me. They always come apart within a few minutes of playing with them. My mommy doesn't have to throw papers at me to play with. I rummage in the recycle bag for interesting things to play with. I drive my mom nuts leaving wrappers, milk caps, bottles, and other stuff all over the floors. Here is a pic of me playing with a plastic bottle I fished out last year.

My mom actually makes little catnip toys for me...she just takes old pieces of fabric...sews them up a bit..fills it with "cosmic catnip" and boy do I have fun with those...actually my real favorite toys are the crumpled pieces of paper she throws at me, and pens and pencils...mmmm..now if I could just learn to write with them, but so much easier to type on her keyboard.

tabby cat - Our older cat was lounging by the front porch, so I decided to take a picture of him. I usually take more of our younger cat because he is more active.
This is Sammy, our traveler. He has been to Maine and Niagara Falls with us.
Hi, Pye. Thank you for your lovely invitation! I will certainly try to remind Mommy about the date. I'm not much of a social cat, but I will make an exception in your case, because I know my Mommy thinks a lot of your Mommy, so you must be pretty special, too. I never had a birthday party. I don't even know what my birth date is. Mommy and Daddy got me from the Human society. I think I was about 5 or 6 months old when they picked me. I sure was glad, because I had been there for a long time and I was sure tired of that little cage and all those other noisy cats. (That's why I don't like to be around other cats much now.) Anyway, since I'm about 11 years old now, I don't care too much about celebrating birthdays. I'll take the treats, though. See you soon! Sammy

And it was wonderful that your mom rescued you...and saved you from being in that nasty cage..so looking forward to you coming to my party...

hi gemini_rose...my mom tells me a lot about her friends here and she's mentioned what a nice person you are here, so glad to meet you here. Yup, I guess that means were both Geminis...my cousin is a Libra, and my mom is a Scorpio...but think our sign is the best, don't you? Hehe I'm practicing my paw print autographs for when my mom gets famous with her book...she's hoping to finish it by the end of the year if not sooner. She has a lot of other stories she writes too and has another story with a kitty in it..

Purrrrrowllll, Pyewacket! Aren't you the handsome devil! Do you like older kitties?? Mrrrowlll mrrrp! So, you're going to be seven, huh? Well, I was eight in February, so that's not soo much older. But, I'm sure jealous. No - we don't be birthday parties or anything! Well - we do get our favorite cat food every day and a clean litter box and a soft cat bed (it used to be a dog's bed, but I made sure it lost ALL of that smell, really fast). We even have this really neat scratching post that Shady uses. You see, my former owners took me to the bad place and now I can't scratch - they hurt me there because my hip hurts when someone touches it and I scream and hiss, it just hurts so bad. Mom forgets sometimes, but she covers me with whispers and kisses and makes me feel better real soon and gets me purring again. Not to worry, though. It's OK with my feet because I can give really good massages now, and no one says ouch!! Do you need a back rub, Pyewacket??? It won't hurt - I promise! Have a Meowy Happy Birthday, Pye. I'll try to be here, but I don't get upstairs very often. You really are handsome, you know. Mmmrrrrrrrrr. Chloe

Hiya Chloe.. My mom has a special bed for me to snooze in, but to be honest my favorite bed to sleep in is with my mom...I love keeping her company while she sleeps, and so does my cousin, Kissy. aww I'm sorry to hear that you sometimes have pain like that, but I'm sure your mom treats you good...and I'm sure glad your mom took you away from your former owners...doesn't sound like they were nice at all. Mmmm..a back rub..that does sound good..my mom loves to give me messages and hugs and kisses...sometimes she kisses me too much and hey I'm a boy..that's sissy stuff, so I'll hiss at her..and she just laughs at me and hisses right back at me...can you imagine that? I sometimes think my mom is actually part kitty herself

Oh, we love sleeping with Mom, too. But, this house we're in, the older Mom won't let us stay in the big house. We stay in the under house because we were so lonely at the old house with Mom always being here, she had to bring us to be closer to her. Mom says that some day we'll go back. I can't wait.

Hi, Pyewacket, it's me Squirt. Is it awful hot at your house too? It's been terrible here, my old mom keeps saying she's suffocating; I don't know for sure what that means but I guess it's like really, really hot. My lovely young mom, Annie likes it hot but even she complained a little bit. I hated it because I love to sleep upstairs sometimes but there's no AC up there and it's, well I guess it's pretty suffocating up there, same with on the back porch, when the AC is on in the kitchen it gets like an oven out there. Hey, I'm pretty smart, aren't I, that I know an oven is hot? That's because I went to put my paws up on the oven door once when Mommy Anne was baking something and she told me I'd better not, that it was hot. That's so neat that you invited us to your birthday party. Of course I'll make mom get you something really cool but do I have to tell Sissy? She's sleeping now so I don't see why she has to come, do you? Of course, it's your birthday and she is a pretty girl so you'll probably want her to come, won't you? She'll put on her little angel act for you, I'm sure! Hope to see you but Happy Birthday! Sissy

Oh, hiya Squirt...oh, my yes, it's terribly hot here..my mom can't take the heat well, and races into the kitchen to dunk her head in cold water..no kidding! And for us she puts chunks of ice cubes in our water making it so nice and cold. I'm glad you listened to your mom and didn't put your paws on the oven cause oh, my that would have hurt! Well I'm hoping both you and Sissy can come to my party...then you can meet my cousin Kissy, but she's a little timid thing..kind of hides when strangers come around..not like me...I love to greet people and other furbabies.
