Here comes the sun

I had such a big day today that I was compelled to sleep in the sun. This window seat is the best perk of staying with dad and mom! Once mom comes home I have a late lunch, mom plays with me and then I sleep in the sun. And, if the squirrels come out I just turn my head and watch them jump through the trees!

Monday again, time flies by

I started out the day ready to play. After spending the night in Dar's room, keeping myself entertained, I was ready to play with mom, but she was in a rush to get to work (they asked her to come in on her day off!). So, I had to get the strings and play without help.

Mom came home at lunch time and found evidence of my catching and dragging things all over the house. I think I did a great job! She said it reminded her of what Dar would do to the house every time he had watched the movie "Home Alone".

 Tonight I'm worn out from the day's activities, and think I'll be ready to get to bed early.

Of interest, after mom helped me finish this post we checked the statistics for my blog. I have readers in the United States, Germany, Poland, India, Japan and the Netherlands! That's pretty good for a street cat!

Name Change

Dad said that my blog should be renamed to reflect my recent sex change (dad is a real joker). I've given my blog a tentative new title, but Dar has to help me a bit. The issue came about because I was a wild (stray) cat that Dar adopted and whisked home during Christmas break. Everyone was afraid to handle me too much so Dar just assumed that I was a boy cat. As you know, my wonderful vet, Dr. Mendoza, set the record straight (see my blog of January 23, 2012). Well, Dar still has not renamed me so dad and mom call me Chester, Chessie, Chess, Kitty, Cat, Emma (you know who does that)... Dar, if you read this get busy and rename me. I want a great name, something that reflects what I have gone through, and recognizes the cat that I am becoming! Dr. Mendoza called me Chestine (I won't vote for that one, but at least she was trying). Until I get a name I like I will not respond to anything except "kitty-kitty-kitty come for food", or the sound of the cat food can being opened like a pop-top!


Dar, look how pretty I am! And curious, and well behaved.

I am your cat. I miss you and I love you (you did save me!). Now, give me a name!

It's getting squirrely

Today I was ready for the squirrels, they came up close to the window and I said HI! They ran. I jumped up to dad's lap. I didn't mean to be angry, just friendly.

Squirrels get friendly

This afternoon I watched the squirrels. They are getting friendly. Now when they see me in the window they come across the yard and look for the acorns in our yard. One came right below me and I tried to say hi!

When dad got home I told him all about it! He was happy that I had so much fun with the squirrels.

Computer Whiz

Mom and I checked on Dar’s status this afternoon, using the computer. I approached the computer carefully, trying to get a feel for it. 

I’m getting computer literate. It’s fun to paw keys and watch things happen on the screen (mom is still trying to undo all of my work). And, I love the mouse, the computer mouse!!! And, since it turned cold today, the computer was the perfect warmer, just my size.

Then, right on schedule the squirrels came out to play and I had to quit the computer!

I didn't mind since this is my favorite place in the whole house!

Just hanging out

Today, dad and I hung out after work. He didn't say a thing when I joined him and mom in their room. 

I got a bit nervous when the heater started and I went on alert.

Dad reassured me. Maybe I can win him over!
