Alfie:The Chronicles of an Orange Love Bug

Day 8? COTW I am still on the home page.../A new kitty is- COTW


August 25th 2008 8:17 am   [link to this entry]

I am already feeling nostalgic.
Can I be totally honest and admit that I will miss all the attention?
It has been just so wonderful.
So many wonderful surprises.

This past week I gave a rosie to every COTD and DOTD.
I stopped by DDP winner Luci's page to congratulate her.
A confession: I'm curious and nosy so I tend to read other kitties' rosettes. Luci had a grape drink congrats from one catster's superstars,
Mercy. She signed off saying Have a grape day! Well, that just tickled my fancy~I had so many TY's to give and Mercy's comment was sweet, short and purr~fect.~ so I stole it.
But then my conscience got the better of me. So I gave Mercy a grape drink and told her what I had done. She sent one back saying that
we may be going to jail together cause she also had "stolen" it. MOL!
That never occurred to me. I told Mercy I would be honored to share
a jail cell with her. I would even give her my pillow!

************************************************* ***************
UPDATE:
Alistair is the new COTW Congratulations to you.Shine on dude.
Alistair's angel sister Kila is the "star" of this big family so if you are my friend and reading this could you stop by and wish this handsome dude a happy week?

Thanks again for a really great week!
Love you all~always
Alfie

Days 7~ COTW: It is almost over but the gifts just keep- coming!


August 24th 2008 5:54 pm   [link to this entry]

Former COTW Dusty the Puppycat who sent me a star althoughI was conpletely unaware that he was one as well. (He was during the month of December 07 when we were mourning Syd and Wally and I was quite sick.

Lovely orangie Clara and family also sent a shiny star.
India sent a friend request because she said I am "the cutest kitty ever!" Aw,thanks India, but I don't think so. On the other paw you are simply stunning! Have a look at this exotic Bengal kitty.

From adorable Pebbles a trophy and zealies. Thank you so much. One thing we never have enough of. If I could I would give a star a week to all my friends!
Also received a diamond and more zealies from yet another adorable
Paige Her angel bro Isaac sent them an adorable kitten,
who needs a name have a look please and her pawrents decide Maya or Tyra? My vote is for Maya!
Maya with mittens. She has extra toes, isn't she cute??

I will have to say good night now.
Thanks to everyone for all the gifts. If I have not gotten around to thanking
yet, I will.
Teddy is ready to strangle me cause his present from his beloved AR is sitting unopened until he sends out thanks for his birthday/COTD rosies.
Poor little dude. Hardly his fault. I think mom made a mistake on this one.
Sorry mom, I don't mean to bite the hand that feeds me.

I wonder who will COTW tomorrow?
All I can say he or she is in for the most amazing time of their catster life.

Love love love
Alfie

day 6 The Good times are still rolling


August 22nd 2008 8:20 pm   [link to this entry]

I got the funniest
diamond from Ms COTD Aug 22 2008 Briana

" Diamond: 5 Zealies on Catster.

Internet Access: $25.95

Laptop: $1500

Sharing the homepage with you:
PRICELESS!"

Last month Briana sent me a trophy in which she said
"This trophy is presented to Alfie-Wan Kenobi, Kimi Master, for a job well done! " That was hilarious too. I love funny ladies!

My page was made complet with balloons from adorable baby Willow
and family. Thank you, I love balloons

Love you my sweet friends

Alfie

COTD Day 5-Perhaps the sweetest day!


August 22nd 2008 5:28 am   [link to this entry]

I have lots of friends here. I am truly a blessed dude.
I love my friends.

One of them is Briana She is not the happiest purr-son I have ever met.
Like me she lost a beloved bro, Rufus and had to contend with
two newcomers, one of them a rambunctious orangie named Hamlet

For the longest time I wished to cheer her up. I know she wanted
to be a diary pick. I even dreamed that this happened.
I told about the dream.I was so sure that it would happen (I have some ESP) I told her to watch and see, she will be a diary pick!!

Well guess what?!
Even better! She is COTD!!!!
Sharing the spotlight
has never been more fur-tastic. I am so happy for you Bree.

Love love love
Alfie

COTW: Day 2 ~I get my very own song!


August 19th 2008 3:17 am   [link to this entry]

The very sweet cute and talented Little Bit
wrote me a song. She brought her pink boombox to TWT !
Sang and danced; Threw her rasberry beret in the air which then landed on me! For you Little Bit I will wear the rasberry beret
MOL
A very nice way to start the morning.

Here is the song:


Now gather 'round pals
And let me speak
Our own sweet Alfie
Is Cat of the Week!!

He's on the homepage
Lookin' real cool.
Proving once again that
Tabbies Rule!

His mom calls him Fuzzybutt
It's what moms like to do
She says he likes to eat
And make muffins too.

Well news like this
Puts me in a good mood.
So let's rock this place
And show some Tabbby 'Tude!!


Happy, happy that's me.
More later, now I need a nap!
*******************************************
A diamond and a haiku from my Canadian orangie pal Marvin


Honoured with the Cat of the Week

He is one cool cat we all must say
Throw up your paws and meow Hooray!"


Thank you Marvie! I love it and love you.
More thank you's coming later.

Hi friends,
The gifties are pouring in and mom promised we will stay on top it.
My poor bro still has not finished thanking everyone for being COTD!

I will include a list later tonight. Right now it looks so scary outside.
The heavens are rumbling..storm is coming..

You know why HQ chose me? They said cause I "give kisess on demand."
Who could have ever foreseen that one?
Mom must have given me a zillion kisses so far. She got into the habit of saying KISS after each one. One day I shocked both of us. Right after she said "KISS" I pressed my mouth right on hers. She gave a little shriek and did it again. I just looked. Don't want to spoil the hoomans
you know? She did looks so sad so I decided what the heck? She is my
mom and I do loves her. So now she says kiss and I do. Sometimes when
I am extremely happy I will nip her chin too.

How mortifying!


August 5th 2008 9:30 am   [link to this entry]

First mom humiliates me in a public forum then she wants me to meow about it in my very own diary.
Please note, I am doing this under duress!
SHE wants you to go HERE
Please, cause I am polite even if SHE now considers me to be a problem
child.
OH! Just so you know. I have many adorable qualities. I hug her neck
like a hooman child. I give kisses on command. Often I gently tap on her
the shoulder when I want attention and SHE is on the puter.
My copy cat brother has also started the tapping on the shoulder so now
if she is not looking she doesn't know who is doing the tapping. MOL
I am VERY sweet even if I don't let her sleep!!!
She should do like us, nap.
Speaking of which, I must go now and to just that.


Embarrassed purrs

Alfie

Inspired again


August 4th 2008 7:30 am   [link to this entry]

I was looking at my friend Junior Fluffkins page. His main picture said he wished he could be in the garden. Instantly I knew I wanted to make a kimi for him. Here it is:
Junior's Garden
It's so nice when I make one and it becomes their main picture.
He loves it and that makes me so happy.
Now I chewing my claws cause I must make one for his beatiful sister Tethys Fluffkins
Right now I have no clue. I am waiting to get inspired again.
Her beauty is inspiring. Hmm, I think I have an idea...

Love love love
Alfie

My baby bro is not a baby anymore


July 28th 2008 8:47 pm   [link to this entry]

Teddy is minutes away from being a year old. So I guess he is not a baby
anymore. Athough if you ask me~he is going to be very slow to mature.
At the moment he is still an overgrown baby.
You know what he is doing right at this moment?
Chewing mom's slipper which has become officially his.
I have never seen a cat chew a slipper. Isn't that strictly a puppy thing?
Earlier this evening he was about to chew a book, which just happens to be a library book. Lucky mom saw him. Does this sound like a grown up
kitty to you?
Anyway I should not be picking on birthday boy.
I am here cause I want to invite you to AR's birthday party she is giving to her Teddy "luv"
Bearz.* Alfie rolls his eyes*Aw~ young love! I am almost 3 and I don't have a girlfriend..I digress~this is not about moi
It will be an all day party cause we all have friends on all different time zones.
Please drop by Teddy's Birthday Party and help the little brat celebrate.

Love~ love ~love
Alfie

A message from D


July 27th 2008 8:53 pm   [link to this entry]

Hi all~
I have been receiving so many letters. So many of you, like are just so
HAPPY about finding
Mr. D!
Have you seen his page? A sea of gifties.
I heard from him tonight and of course they are overwhelmed with
letters asking how he is doing.
He would like us all to know that he is doing "amazingly well
He is going to be checked out by his vet on Wednesday just to make sure
he is healthy. (So let's keep purring that he is!!!)
He sweetly says he is happy that he "cheered up " so many.
How is that for an understatement?!
I think I speak for many when I say this is the most wonderful thing
that happened on catster in a very long time.
I am on cloud 9 and I see many of my friends right here with me.
I hope MrD doesn't mind but I must share another part of his p-mail:

. I'm having my photo taken tomorrow by the newspaper AND the magazine. The TV have already done a follow up this morning, I’m shocked how well known we are MOL. Now when the hooman walks into a shopping centre she gets people asking about me, little ol’ me . The hooman went out on the road for the last time this morning with a sign saying that I'm found and thanking them. She got heap and heaps of toots, smiles, thumbs up, waves and also many people clapping. I think it made a number of people happy this morning. We even had people ringing to say thanks. The hooman also went around the vet clinics with packets of biscuits and rounded up all the posters (she still has the after hours one to do but that's after 7pm). Tomorrow after the photo sessions she will then return the cat suit and then go on to the SPCA and get the flyers from there. BOY is she going to need a lot of biscuits for that place MOL. With wed been Vet day, the hooman is then back to work on Thursday. We still haven't got through all our p-mail yet. But we are trying, we love reading all the letters, I wish the hooman had more time off work."
I think it is so sweet of Karyn to have gone out with a sign saying she found D! What a thoughtful thing to do. I am sure she would rather
just turn everything off and cuddle her MrD
Definitely more time off work would be great.
We have not forgotten about the party but we must give D more time
It will be a 24 hour bash to give all time zones a chance to join us.
I will keep you posted.

Love and purrs
Alfie

A truly amazing day!


July 25th 2008 6:47 am   [link to this entry]

When I woke mom up at 4:00 with the need to knead. I wish I could say
that I had a feeling that this would be a special day.
Of course mom being in instant awaker there is never any question of just turning over and going back to sleep. So she let me knead for a while and she gently pushed me away.
Not long after that she was online.
This wonderful place is our home away from home.
Mail in my box and email in mom's box.
All with the same awesome news.
MR D has been found exactly 6 months to the day that he had gone missing.
Karyn's letter is in Wally's diary
Teddy and I got very excited. Teddy soon found out that he had somethinge else to be overjoyed about~ his lovely AR is COTD
Congratulations sweetie~we are all happy for you.
Mom was leaking all over the place.
What is it with humans that they cry when they are sad and cry when they are happy? Hmm, and they say us felines are hard to figure out.
Sometime soon there will be a party to celebrate MrD's homecoming.
We think we should give Karyn sometime with her sweet baby.
When she is ready to let go of him and type~we will be ready to party.
Yep I have my bells ready! MOL
Welcome home MrD
You have missed.
Oh happy day!

Love Love Love
Alfie

The latest on MrD


July 21st 2008 7:44 pm   [link to this entry]

I just checked in with my group for MR D and saw the most awesome post from his mom Karyn.
The publicity just keeps growing.
Now she is front page news in a free local newspaper that goes to every home in their community.
She is on the cover wearing her Puss N Boots costume and holding
the poster of MrD. It is a very nice article. Please read it
here

There are other stories in the works. Even another TV appearance
on another station.
Somebody will surely come forward with news about D.
I have never felt more optimistic. The past 6 monts I have never lost hope. I know Mr D will be reunited with his family.

Love and purrs

What's wrong with me?


July 13th 2008 2:01 am   [link to this entry]

Hello friends and family~
In the past when I asked you for advice, I always received some great
answers.
So I turn to you once again.
I had a very strange Saturday evening.
Mom had a rough day so she turned off the computer to read a bit before making it an early night.
When mom is in bed I take my place close to her and start to knead her.
It is absolutely my favorite activity, next to eating. MOL
Not last night.
Mom was puzzled. She patted the bed. I ignored her.
I started walking in all the places she doesn't like me to walk. On her dresser;on top of the computer speaker. The worst thing?
I walked back and forth the edge of her headboard until~
I FELL OFF!!!!
Right on top of her head.
OH WOE IS ME!
I injured my mommy.
She has a nasty scratch on her scalp and her chest.
She was not a happy camper. She didn't say a word. Just went to the bathroom to clean her wounds.
When she came back to the bedroom, I guess she decided it was an accident and tried to forgive me.
She told me it was OK. Accidents happen. (Although if you ask me this accident happened cause of my stoopid behavior.)
Once again she patted the bed.
What did I do? Instead of snuggling with her and tell her I am sorry I hurt her~I started my crazy walking again. I went up on the headboard~ again.
This time I had one p----ed off mommy!
She jumped up grabbed me and deposited me outside the bedroom and slammed the door.
She yelled (she never yells at me) when you are ready to behave like my Alfie let me know!!
Normal reacion for me would have been to cry at the door to be let in.
Not last night.
This morning I didn't knead her. I have not skipped my morning kneading~ever!!
Mommy and I are both puzzled.
We could both use some ideas.
Just so you know. She wasn't all that mad at me about the food incident . She knows that's Teddy's fault.
Times in the past I used to be naughty just to get her attention.
More stoopid thinking that negative attention is better than no attention. But I stopped doing that when she consistently ignored me and I realized she was onto me. So that's
not it either.
I love my mommy, what's wrong with me?

Love,
Alfie

PS Sometimes I am less then thrilled when Teddy is cuddling with mom
too. Last night he was with grandpa. I didn't even see him. So please don't say I am acting jealous. That's not it either. I think I know all
the things it's NOT..

To set the record straight!


July 12th 2008 2:32 am   [link to this entry]

The little monster started it.
Please see Teddy's diary entry
He opened the can and spilled the contents.
Yes, it was me eating when mom walked into the kitchen BUT
it was Teddy who started it!
How can I resist the yummiest food ever?
Except it's not a laughing matter.
I know I have a sensitive tummy. I shouldn't have
But I can't undo it, can I?

Now mom is so mad at us.

I DON"T WANT TO BE SICK!
NO VETS Oh please no vets


Love,
Alfie the good brother!!!!!

*UPDATE*

It is almost time for me to go to sleep. I just checked my mail and a sweet note of concern from my cousin Ginny reminded me that I have not updated my diary.
Me and my sensitive tummy are fine! YAY!!
Teddy who seems to have
a much healthier tummy is fine too.
Mom is still annoyed. She says she is not tolarating two brats. One is more than enough. *Sigh*

Love love love
Alfie

Mr.D on my mind


July 11th 2008 6:48 pm   [link to this entry]

It has been 6 long months since my sweet friend MR. D has gone missing.
I can't remember when we met. I think it was early on when we first joined catster. How can you not be drawn in by those orangie eyes?

I remember the morning we saw the word "missing" beside his name.
It was so shocking but I never imagined that 6 months later he still would not be home.
January 30th we created the group Purrs and Woofs For Mr.D
Today we are still 394 members strong. We continuously light candles
and purr and purr and do our best to offer our support to his broken hearted mom Karyn and his fur sister Sam
We feel so helpless most of the time. They are so far away...
As more and more time went by we were all convinced that someone took Mr D in to their home. Have a look at him? Wouldn't you just take him to your heart? But this person obviously couldn't know how much he he is missed and loved. How to reach this person? That was the question.
A short while ago we got the news that Karyn is renting a costume of
Puss N Boots and she was going wear it, holding up a poster of D.Stand
by a busy road and hope that someone sees it or knows somebody who...that it will lead to MrD
OMC! I think this is beyond love and devotion. It is positively inspired.
Then I got inspired. I thought how to reach even more people? After all this is not an ordinary story. We asked Karyn about possible TV stations that carry this type of story and she mentioned something called "The Breakfast show" So I had mom email the station and tell them about
D and Karyn.
Guess what?
Not even half a day later. Karyn heard from them and Thursday morning she was on TV. It is on his page but I will give the link to youtube. You simply must watch The search for MrD
So now we wait and hope and purr.
Those of you are reading this and are not friends with MrD would you purr anyway?
Please purr for a sweet kitty who is so missed by his loving family and by so many of his catster friends.
Purr for a happy ending to this story. I am a sunny optimistic dude
so I can't even imagine anything but a happy ending.
When he is found, we will give his family a little well earned rest and then we are going to have the biggest welcome home party for Mr D
You are all invited!

Love love love
Alfie

I am my mom's kitty~her orangie love bug!


July 7th 2008 7:33 pm   [link to this entry]

I got a sweet note from my orangie friend Edgar
He was concerned that the title of yesterday's diary entry was referring
to me suddenly becoming an orphan.
I am sorry. I thought I was being funny.
HQ wrote but they couldn't solve the problem.
Guess who did?
Wally's Sophie
She said that if you hit submit before the page fully loads (before you can see the numbers of your photos on the side ) you get the message we got.
Mom having no patience, this made purrfect sense.
So we tried waiting with some "Come on, come on" and impatient finger tapping on the keyboard. Finally the page was fully loaded I hit
SUBMIT and it works.
I am mom's kitty again.
Thanks Sophie and thanks Edgar for your concern, for writing.
Again I am sorry I worried you.
Love love love
Alfie

Whose kitty am I, does anybody know?


July 6th 2008 3:26 pm   [link to this entry]

It started on Friday, mom wanted to add a photo of me. When she hit submit this is the message she received:
"Meow meow! Well this is cat-crazy unusual. For some reason you are trying to access a cat that is not yours. "

She laughed at first but then she got a bit incensed.
When it was not fixed by today, she wrote an email. She offered
proof by way of my birth certificat.
Cute, mom. Now HQ will think you are a crazy cat lady!
Of course she thinks there is really nothing wrong with that.
May even be a compliment.
However I still want to know?
Whose kitty am I?
Did I turn up in someone else's account?

Love Love Love
Alfie

OH MY COD!


July 3rd 2008 12:58 am   [link to this entry]

One of my adorable pals is COTW and she is an orangie like me.
Paige is COTW!!!
YAY!! I could not be happier if it happened to me.
Her beloved bro
Isaac was COTW~ in February 2008
When I saw the home page, I did a double take. Paige, yea, looks familiar, but can't be, can it?
HQ have you changed the rules? Back in the day when catster was very new you picked more than one kitty from the same family to be COTW.
I have just assumed that it doesn't happen anymore since catster has
grown so much.
Since our Wally was COTW March 2007 I just assumed that our family could no longer be in the running.
I think this gives my little brother Teddy Bearz lots of hope. He is such
an attention hog, he would go nuts being COTW.
Anyway this week is about lovely Paige.
Please congratulate her HERE
Have a great week sweet Paige
My kimi
for Paige

Love, love, love
Alfie

A new tag game


June 30th 2008 9:55 pm   [link to this entry]

I have been tagged my friend Harvey
The game is list 6 thing you dont like and then tag 6 friends.



6 things I don't like


1Don't mess with my teeth. Thank you very much.
2Don't like the v.e.t. Only my dummy little bro Teddy would purr and eat treats from her hand.
3 Don't like people food. I am C.A.T.
4. Don't like Mr. Vacuum. Mom keeps telling me he is harmless so why are things like my l'l mousies disappearing in his wake. I am not taking any chances!
5. I am not crazy about knocking on our door. I like people but not NEW
people, so you never know who is at the door. Except mom and grandpa
Both Teddy and I wait right by the door when they come home, we always know. Mom is mucho impressed by this doglike behavior.

6. I don't like changes in my life. Well I am glad Teddy is here, very glad
But I wish Wally and Sydney hadn't left us. I still miss them..

I tag the following kitties
Briana

Elsa
Marvie

Ginny aka Dangerous Beans
Luke
Rizza

If anyone doesn't want to play, that's cool

Love love love
Alfie

A new group


June 29th 2008 4:47 pm   [link to this entry]

I have received such wonderful mail telling me how much you like my
kimis. I know there are other kitties on this site who make them so I had
this idea to start a group.
For now I am calling it CATSTER KIMIS
It is for kitties who are also making them. We could put our heads together for ideas. Mom always says two heads are better than one. So I imagine a group of heads is great!
Also if someone would like to request a kimi this would be the place.
I am leaving it open to any kitty. You don't need an invite.
To join my family and me, please go here

I have been meaning to ask something important.
I know some of you have protection on your pictures. Most of you are happy when I surprise you with a kimi. Yes naughty me knows how to snag your pictures even if you have protection on them. I have not meant this to be rude. I always thought this applied to strangers not someone who wants to surprise you with a giftie.
Most of my kimis are for birthdays so naturally I would like it to be a
SURPRISE.
If you are not cool with this of if you know of anyone who is not cool with this~could you let me know? The last thing I want to do is offend anyone.

Thanks again for your help. Hope to see you in my new group.

Love love love

Alfie


PS I was on a stroll and saw a sweet mommy kitty named Andrea Previn(adoptable)
If you are in Long Beach CA perhaps you would like to expand your family. Hey sweet Andrea Previn this
a kimi just for you

Confessions of a kimi addict


June 27th 2008 8:45 pm   [link to this entry]

I absolutely love making kimis for my friend's birthdays.
Almost all of them end up using it as their main picture or at least put
it on their page. That makes me so happy. It is such an honor for me.
They are happy, I am happy. Talk about a win/win situation!
Some present a special challenge.
Like my good pal~ Lancelot. He was born on the 4th of July so I wanted
his birthday kimi to reflect both his birthday and his great country's.
Wowsers did I search and search for the right pictures.
I am very happy with the results. I think it is now
one of my favorite kimis

His bro the gato, Mago presented yet another challenge. He was born on the birthday of my country.
So here is the results.
What do you guys think?

Love love love
Alfie

Why is Good-Bye always so difficult


June 4th 2008 5:44 pm   [link to this entry]

I think it was that orangie smudge on her sweet head that always made me want to give her a big hug.
.
Her name is Max
we called her Maxy cause she didn't like being mistaken for a boy.She lived an amazing 21 years.
She was much loved by her mom who is actually a couple of years younger. This is why my heart is breaking. Imagine never knowing a day in which Maxy was not there.Now she is gone.
I can tell myself that she is with so many angels who love her and she is new like a kitten. No more old age no more pain but...there is always a but
isn't there? Her mom's heart is broken.
I know Gizmo is missing her. How can he not? She was there everyday of his life until today.
Oh Maxy you leave such a big empty space in the hearts of all who love you and they do love you still and always will.
If I could ask you my friends to drop by here
and wish her Goodspeed.
This is for you Auntie Sophie

Dear Mom,

"I am just about to take a nap,
for I have been running free.
I was chasing butterflies, and one small bumble bee.
I have rolled around in catnip,
I have climbed high in a tree -
And now I will rest all cuddled up with others just like me.
I am in a truly lovely place.
it is right by Heavens gate.
I am not alone, and I am told this is the place to wait.
I have told everyone about you, they said you will not be late.
That though on earth long years will pass, I will meet you by the gate.
There is a bridge we will cross together~
It has a rainbow hue - And really it is so pretty here, that all I miss is you.
So please do not think about the things you did or did not do -
It was my time to find the bridge, so please do not feel blue.
I am sorry that I left so fast, with just a kiss good-bye
But I have enclosed a -head butt- and a slow blink of my eye.
Take care of all my family and tell them that I will try to be the one that greets them first, when they come~ by and by.
I love you and thanks for being such a great mom"

My little brother is definitely weird


June 4th 2008 11:04 am   [link to this entry]

Sorry but it's true. I love him to bits.
However explain this. He eats his own barfies, he eats flies!
He of course loves his food (Evo) and adores his treats.
He tries to steal my food.
When mom cooks meat Teddy goes to jail/bedroom or else he ends up on mom's head...purring all the time of course.
In short he never met a food he didn't desperately want!
So I though I would get him a gift he could use.

Breath mints which Teddy hates!!
. It is the one and only thing he ever spit out and he made a face like he sucked on a lemon, MOL
I hate it too. But I have heard from other kitties who totally love it.
What's a bro to do?

Love love love

My baby bro the piglet


June 3rd 2008 6:01 pm   [link to this entry]

I wonder what AR would think of my bro if she knew he eats
regurgitated food. MOL MOL
So it started with mom finding Herring Steaks, the ones our friend
Milo told us about.
Seems my bro is also fickle cause he loves this as much as his Thrive.
Mom gives me a piece.
Very nice~num num num num.
Mom gives Teddy a piece.
Teddy gulps his down.
Teddy starts to choke.
Mom nearly has a heart attack!
She also seems to be paralyzed!!
Before she can move Teddy brings up a yucky mess and procceds
to eat that! Did he just eat.. ahem..vomit?
Oh YUCK!!
Teddy bearz the piglet!
AR you will have to teach him some manners.

I love nights at catster...


May 31st 2008 7:41 pm   [link to this entry]

You never know who is going to pop up in your pmail box.
Tonight I heard from sweet angel Rufus
Not only did he read my diary but he alerted me about the gorgeous
orangie KC
who is having her own frustrations with the kimi site.
She is was trying to make a kimi for her sister Mittens
whose birthday is tomorrow, June 1st.
Rufus thought there is a connection but no, my problem is strictly with
photobucket.
I made a a kimi for Mittens

So after all this, I checked to make sure everything is working and what do I see? A note from one of the most lovely ladies on catster Sissy
I didn't even know that she knew that I exist. She must have
read my diary too cause she writes that the preview of the rosie doesn't work but it DOES work.
Thank you Sissy I will try it.
I may as well confess, something about the night makes you less inhibited? I have a mad crush on you Sissy...It is OK though I am content to worship you from afar. (which is not that far cause Sissy and her lovely family live about 10 minutes away from here.)
Hmmmmm maybe we can visit?
Well in my dreams, I guess.
Gosh, I love catster~

Photobucket woes


May 31st 2008 5:27 pm   [link to this entry]

Don't know what's going on but the HTML codes between catster and
photobucket are not working since late last night..
Not a good day.
Needed to give friends birthday kimis
One was already late. It was for a pawsome orangie friend Rags who was 12 on May 29th. The other is
for his bro Smokey who is 16 today! Don't they both look great?
Wowsers 16! I hope I look so young at 16. I hope I make it to 16.
Mom seems to have bad luck with her babies making it beyond 6years.
I sure hope Teddyand I break that run of bad luck.
We want to be mom's OF!!
OK, so have a look at the kimis I made for them (this is the ODD part.
Direct links works!!)
Rags' birthday kim


Smokey's Birthday kimi

Sorry guys, hope you both had furbulous bdays and many happy returns
to you both!

Love love love

Purring


May 28th 2008 8:05 pm   [link to this entry]

The other day my little bro made a confession. Now it is my turn.
I don't have much of a purr. Mostly I snort.
I knead a lot and when I am really into it I also snort and drool.
I also love to sit in mom's lap.
I don't do headbutts. What can I say? I am sorry cause I know how
much mom loves that but it is just not my style.

Lucky for her Teddy is a major headbutter and a big time purrer.

Exactly like Wally was..maybe they are brown tabby qualities?

Check out Teddy's big purr. Mom managed to put the sound clip on his page
with the help of the very sweet and kind Scooter's mom.

Just a thought


May 26th 2008 9:03 am   [link to this entry]

Mom told the story of our sweet Simba to a friend. About the great love between
Simba and her mommy. How shattered she feels to not have Simba around after
2o years of sharing her life. So can you guess what the (non catster) friend said?
I don't mean to be insensitive but she did have her for 20 years. Mom almost said if you don't mean to be insensitive then don't be! But she was so tired and didn't feel up to arguing. This is not a bad person. She simply does not get it.

My theory is that we were simply not blessed with a long life span.
People say we are small creatures and our organs were not designed to function for decades.
Mom has a mantra. If a parrot has an average life span of 80 years why not
the most precious feline?

Just a thought..

Needed to at least smile...


May 24th 2008 11:24 am   [link to this entry]

So much sadness lately.
Two sweet and much loved ladies left us this past week
Cybil and Simba
The shocking news of the death of a catster mom Lauren. Her missing fur babies
Aldo Tess and the dog Noelle..
I needed to relax so I thought, it's time to make a kimi
I don't even remember where I found the funny picture of a kitty..well you have to see.
The fun thing I made it last night and so far 59 people have already used it. That is really flattering.
Well here it is,
a funny kimi
I guess what I tried to say with that greeting is cheer up things can always be worse..that poor kitty would agree, eh?
If anybody wants to customize just go here:
just go here

Diary woes: What's up with HQ?


May 21st 2008 10:35 am   [link to this entry]

I would give anything to know how HQ chooses their diary picks
Today for example
belle
Diary of the Day ~ ONE DIARY ENTRY One sentence
charlie
two entries one sentece each!
Katie
two short entries.
Milo
whom I love and is one of my best friend. He won on the 14th of May and again today. The catch? He has not had a diary entry since the win on the 14th.
Now that is puzzling!
I hope I don't sound mean. I am always happy for my friends.
I just genuinely would love to know how HQ decides.
That is all.

Love love love

Dogs part 2


May 21st 2008 10:19 am   [link to this entry]

I love responses to my diary. I am always amazed. Some actually are interested
in what I have to say?
Wowsers!
My diary entry about dogs had my adorable cousin Ginny write me a sweet note.
She also called me "Kimi Artist Extraordinaire!!" *Blushes*
Thank you Ginny!

One of my best pals, fellow orangie Titch sent me a pretty flower and said
"Alfie, your Kimi was beautiful! I think maybe the D.O.G. was jealous that he isn't orange! Poor thing, and they don't have long whiskers and a fuzzy butt (you're never going to live that one down!).
That's OK I like being teased. To me it means I am loved!
Love you too pawsome Titch!

Another great orangie friend Lancelot sent me a flower and
wrote
"Poor Alfie! I am sorry you got snubbed by a doggie, hissss. I know I have apurrreciated your lovely artwork you have done fur me. Don't let the mean doggie make you sad fur having a big heart! You're a pawsome pal!

That is so nice. You guys made me feel better.
I also thought it over and decided it was unfair to call all dogs rude. I have met some very nice dogs
in Zealie Lotto and one of my favorite fur creatures in the world is
Lizzy
She is a part of my extended family. She lives with 3o cats, how is that for a good dog? Picture this, when cats mass around her, and she lays out flat on the floor! What a good dog she is!
And sometimes when I need help posting in dogster she is always there for me! I love you Lizzy!

Love love love

Dogs are rude!


May 15th 2008 9:01 am   [link to this entry]

A couple of months ago we saw a request from someone we didn't even know..
They were talking about a lonely doggie who was having a birthday and could
kits/dogs stop by an wish him a happy day.
So we thought we go a bit extra and do a kimi.
We thought our creation was so cute
Rocky's Birthday
Do you know, we didn't even get a note to say thank you?
How rude is that?
Sad purrs
Alfie

Arnold is COTD!


May 8th 2008 5:33 pm   [link to this entry]

It has been a while since I have written in this diary.
What can I tell you I got lazy.
But today was a really super day.
Wally's catster bro and our friend Arn is COTD
Congrats dude, I know how much you wanted this! I am very happy for you.
Now when is it my turn?
Are you reading this HQ?
I could use some catster fame!
Wally's life was never the same after he was COTW. He became a catster star! MOL
We are all kimi addicts in this family so of course we had to make him one.
Here it is, what do you think?
Arn's kimi
Well see you later,
Love love love

A friend has gone to the Bridge~


March 24th 2008 5:58 pm   [link to this entry]

Mom is leaky tonight.
A friend of the family Dexter
has gone to the Bridge today.
He was supposed to have gone to the vet this morning but..
He was sickly and sad, missing his sister Molly who went to the Bridge just a short while ago.
It is difficult not to be sad. The concept of not seeing your loved one again is almost impossible to bear.
I know we have been there.
But time eases the pain. I believe that Dexter, Molly our Wally and Syd and all the others, they are fine. We will see them again. I really believe we will.
So our condolences for their sad mom.
There will be better days, I promise.

Please light candle
here
for sweet Dexter.
Love always
Alfie

Easter Danger Alert/EASTER LILY


March 22nd 2008 5:40 am   [link to this entry]

Happy Easter!

As many of you get together with family and friends to celebrate Easter there will be lots of good food, chocolate bunnies, Easter eggs and many other festive decorations.

Did you know that there is a traditional Easter decoration that can be very dangerous to us?

Well there is. The biggest Easter danger to kitties is toxicity from Easter Lily ingestion. They are toxic and dangerous. They cause kidney failure and can be deadly. So PLEASE! Either don't bring Easter lilies (which is the best thing to do) or keep them out of the reach.
Remember we are very curious and yes, sometimes sneaky. It only takes a minute to jump up on the counter and take a nibble. And that nibble could be fatal.

So be safe, keep the lilies away from us

Love love love
Alfie

PS This applies to dogs too. Although I think they are more slavish about pleasing their ...ahem.. masters.

Happy Easter and Happy Spring to everyone.


March 21st 2008 10:05 am   [link to this entry]

It is not exactly spring yet and it is still very cold but they took back the snow forecast and sun is shining!
I will take it.
Our special friend Isaac sent us the cutest video clip. You guys just have to watch it!


Here it is


I hope everyone likes his/her bunny get up. I am sorry if I have forgotten
anyone.

Love love love

Lottery on dogster/catster


March 8th 2008 2:25 pm   [link to this entry]

This is too funny!
I know more read my diary than Teddy's (sorry little
brother but it's true)
I am going to steal his diary entry.
Can you believe it?
There is a group here that is called Zealie_lotto
