Shadow T.'s diary entries!

[Soapets]

WOW! Meowmie and I can't believe how much I look like Tubby! He sure was one handsome dude! Thanks for the info. about the lighter coloring. Meowmie says it doesn't show up on me all the time---it just depends on the angle and the lighting, whatever that means.

I kept Meowmie awake last night, 'cause I didn't want her to oversleep this morning or anything. I kept crawling across her head and her face, and giving her nose and chin and mouth and ears little "love nips" all night long. Strangely, she didn't seem to appreciate them much!

Meowmie took babie Annie with her when she left this morning, and brought her back home tonight when she got home. I don't know where they went. Baby Annie doesn't seem to feel very well again tonight. Meowmie says she threw up, and she had a little bit of diarrhea a little while ago.

I have to go now because Meowmie wants to shut the computer off and go to bed. So early. On a Friday night...... Hmm. I'm going to have to see what I can do to liven up her night some. No one should have to go to bed very early on a Friday night.....
Hmm......

Love,

Shadow T. (and the "T" is for "Tyrant" tonight! )

Hi. Shadow T. here, and today the "T" stands for "torked off" I want SO badly to get to play with babie Annie! Meowmie and Pawpie and my boy, Alex, let her get out of her carrier and wander around some this morning. I TRIED to play with her, but my boy just kept catching me in mid-leap and diverting me away from her! WHAT'D he go and do that for? I was ONLY trying to pounce on her, to let her know who's boss of her around here so she doesn't go getting any silly ideas that SHE'S the QUEEN or anything like that!

I kept shoeigtffffffffffffff (that really

[Soapets]

OOPS! Sorry about THAT! I REALLY AM trying to help Meowmie with this myself this morning. She makes me so mad! She keeps moving me away from the keyboard, and calling me a "little sh$t". So I desparately JUMPED onto the keyboard a few minutes ago, and accidently hit the key to go ahead and post it before I was even done typing!

Anyway, where was I?....... Oh, yeah. I kept trying to show my family that I was thinking they should "let me at her! let me at her!" while I was trying to pounce on Little Orphan Annie this morning. The harder I tried to get to her, the harder they tried to keep me away from her! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND!

WHAT have I done to deserve this? I want to make sure that I introduce myself properly to little Annie, but they won't let me do it the way I want to do it! Can any of you help me o1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111ut here? How can I get it through those thick skulls those humans have, that I just want to play and play and play11

excuse me. I got too excited there! I am SO-o-o-o-o- ANGRY I could just ; /......hy

May 16, 2005: Dear Diary; Hi. Shadow T. here again. I've been so darned busy making sure everything is going well here that I haven't had time to write anything lately. Lets see now, where was I?........

Oh, yeah, I was writing about my new baby sister, Annie. She is such a funny girl! I keep trying to get in to her carrier to play with her. Yesterday I ran into the carrier and my Meowmie says my body kind of folded up like an accordian behind my head when I tried to take a running jump through the carrier door.

My boy, Alex, lets me get up on his lap and play with Annie sometimes when he's in the recliner with his feet and legs stretched out. I try to give Annie a good whuppin to show her who's boss of her, and just when things start going real good, Alex makes me stop! But when I hug Annie and help give her a bath, she likes it and Alex lets me do it. I guess I have to be more gentle with her for awhile yet---at least when my boy or my Meowmie or Pawpie is around to watch me!

I'm getting to be a big boy. I can go almost anywhere Angel goes, except I can't quite figure out how to get up on the kitchen counter and into the sink yet. It's NOT FAIR being the littler one of her and me! I like to go in Angel's "secret" hiding spots for sleeping, but for some reason she doesn't seem to appreciate my company in those places yet!

I have toys all over the house now, and sleeping spots, and a little cat window shelf to lay on and look out the window at the bird feeder. I must look pretty scary to those birds, because they don't seem to come around much when I'm there in the window watching for them. I'm saving Meowmie and Pawpie some money that way, because they don't have to go buy more food for those silly old birds!

I really like to run around upstairs when my family is watching TV in the living room downstairs. Meowmie says I sound like a whole herd of elephants when I'm running around like that. What are elephants? Then she calls me a "wildcat" when I run all around the house, from room to room, because I'm so happy and excited and full of vip, vim, and vigor! (Meowmie calls it something else---that "sh$t" word---but WHAT does SHE know, anyway?!)

And I REALLY, REALLY like pestering my big sister, Angel. She gives me a good whuppin sometimes, but I don't mind. I keep getting back at her, so I probably deserve it. I'm rough, and I'm tough, and I'm not going to let her think she's stronger than me!

My Meowmie and Pawpie and my boy all have really fun feet to attack, too! I can't let them go anywhere in the house without reminding them of my presence. They keep calling me a little sh$t and gently pushing me away from their feet. Why do they do that? I mean, it's not like I'm REALLY going to eat them or anything!

And WHY, oh WHY does Pawpie get so crabby at night when he's in bed and I go over and walk all over his head and give his ear gentle little love nips, just to let him know I'm still there protecting him, and I love him!?!? Meowmie laughs when I do that to Pawpie, but Pawpie doesn't. But when I do it to Meowmie, she calls me a little "sh$t" again and lifts me off of the bed. I don't understand....... I just don't understand.......

I guess that's about all for now. I'll try to take some time to write a little more tomorrow. Meowmie says she'll have some pictures of me tomorrow, whatever that means. I think it has something to do with that bright flashy box thingy she's always trying to blind me with when I'm least expecting it!

Until tomorrow,

Shadow T. (And the "T" stands for "toughie" tonight! )

That lighter area is where the scent glands are. There tends to be less hair in that area (above both eyes near the ears) and it is most noticeable on black cats, just like my Onyx. Cats rub on your hands, legs, furniture, etc. to "mark" where they've been and that's really about it - that's just where the scent glands are and is more noticeable there.
