Hello!

Yesterday, March 31, was Cosmo's birthday! I gave him four balls, a package of catnip, some treats, a can of wet food, a pipe cleaner and lots of love. Cosmo (and the other cats!) enjoyed his gifts. He didn't mind sharing the wet food. Glimmer, the newest cat here (I found her as a pregnant stray), especially enjoyed the special wet food treat. Cosmo's day was full of love and happiness. I hope that he had a good day.

Cosmo's day went something like this: First thing in the morning, I told him happy birthday and pet him. Right after that, I gave him water, his favorite kind of water. Tub water! When he finished that, I scooped the litter boxes, swept the cat room (the room that I keep the cat food, water and litter boxes) and gave the cats fresh water and dry food. Then, I ate breakfast. When I finished my food, it was time for Cosmo to open his presents. First I gave him two of the balls (these balls are red and blue. They are also small and are covered in round tipped spikes) and his green pipe cleaner. Then he got his treats. After he opened and ate a few of the treats, he opened the last two balls (a soft, fuzzy yellow ball and a tinfoil-crinkly silver and purple ball. Both large). Then he opened his catnip (and ate some) and his wet food. Everyone enjoyed the wet food. Then he was pet and I did his tricks (come, sit, stand and retrieve). After that came lunch, and then, in the afternoon, Cosmo slept away the rest of the day in the sunshine.

Today is April Fools! I hope that everyone enjoys this day. Also, on April 8, is Easter! I hope that I can get a idea about what special thing that I should do on the holidays. If you have an idea, comment on this post or on the page titled 'Comment Your Questions'. Thank you!

Hello!

This "Dear Diary..." post will name and describe all of the cats that BlackCat13, littlekitty5, SuperPOWerHorse and I have from oldest to youngest. Let's start!

Freya
Owner: KittyLover8.
Age: Freya is 16.
Description: Freya is very talkative and playful. She is well known throughout the little "cat land" that we've made by adopting cats for her fortuitous personality toward her fellow cats. Although, Freya is always there to dish out affection for any human.

Gemini
Owner: BlackCat13.
Age: Gemini is a 4 or 5 year old.
Description: Gemini is a declawed kitty joy. Very playful. He is also new in the house. He doesn't really like the other cats but, he doesn't hiss at them or tackle them like Freya. Instead, he makes a tiny mew to tell the human (or humans) in the room that he's unhappy.
Favorite toy(s): Human hands and feet hidden underneath the covers.
Looks: He is white with brown frosted spots. He has beautiful blue eyes that look like sapphires. Like Freya, this fluff ball is a long haired kitty.

Age: Cosmo is 2 and will be turning 3 on March 31.

Picture:

Holston
Owner: All of us own this little love bug.

Picture:


Moe
Owner: littlekitty5.

Dear Diary... #5

Hello!

Yesterday, I returned to my home from a vacation I took in New Jersey. I was gone Wednesday though Friday. I felt so happy to see my cat, Cosmo, great me at the door. Freya had to be dropped off at the vet clinic before I left for my vacation. I picked her up the next day. She was so overjoyed to see me! I am going to do a "Kitty Tips" about travailing with your furry friend dedicated to my trip to New Jersey.

Last night, Cosmo slept with me. He pushed himself up against my legs. I love sleeping with Cosmo. I also love waking up with Cosmo because he dose this funny and adorable thing every morning. He will jump out of bed before I awaken and lay down on his back on the floor, purring his head off. The moment I open my eyes, Cosmo macks a small noise that is close to a meow. When I look at him, he jumps to his feet and runs into the hall. Groggily, I follow him. Once he sees me, he shoots into the bathroom. As a start down the stairs, Cosmo steps out of the bathroom, looking at me pathetically. I sigh and climb back up the stairs and walk into the bathroom behind a very exited Cosmo. Then, Cosmo jumps into the tub. I begrudgingly turn the tub water on so that it is just drizzling. I wait for Cosmo to finish drinking. Then, I go on with my morning. Yep, that's how everyday of mine begins.

Speaking of Cosmo, his birthday is coming up on March 31. I don't know what to get him. He likes catnip, but he got catnip for Christmas. He likes playing with cat toys, but he got toys for Christmas. Maybe I can get him a pipe cleaner…well, if you readers have any ideas, please tell me! I know that I'm over thinking this. It's in March and that's very far away. I just would like to have planes for him, like giving him a wet food "cake". Thank you for helping me!

Hi!

I'm very happy that "The Purple Paw" has progressed so much. When we started in October, this blog was slowly starting, but then, we did 18 posts in November. We started getting more views and we started creating more posts. To shorten this up, I would just like to thank readers for viewing our blog. This supports us and makes us more dedicated to this blog.

I enjoy petting my cats, Cosmo and Freya, but right now, let's focus on Freya. Freya really loves being scratched on her chin and behind her ears. She is very sick and old so, I've made her a bed out of a small blanket on top of a heating pad. I love her, and I always will.

Here is a picture of Freya I drew:
Bye, everyone!

Dear Diary...#3

Hello!

Today, I played with my cat, Cosmo. Cats are so cute and funny when they "hunt" the toy that they're playing with. Cosmo does this particularly cute thing when he plays. The second I get a toy out for him, he darts underneath my bed and, at the right time (in his point of view), he leaps at the toy, wide-eyed. When he does this, afterward I have a very ripped-up hand. =P

Cosmo's favorite toys are pipe-cleaners. Maybe it's because, growing up (in my house), I had allot of pipe-cleaner around the house. I think that it's adorable that, whenever he sees a pipe-cleaner he jumps on top of it and bats at it.

Does you're cat have a favorite toy?

Speaking of my kitties playing, my 15 year-old cat with kidney failure (Freya) loves playing with string (while meowing very loudly).

If your cat (or cats) have kidney failure or another sickness, I advise to remember and treasure all of the things that you and your cat (or pet) did together. If your BFF died, I give you my greatest sympathies for your loss.

Dear Diary... #2

Hi!

Today, I adopted a stray cat. I was very worried about him being out there in the middle of winter. He came to my porch every day and was so full of affection that he would let me pick him up. So, early one morning, I grabbed him and put him in a cat carrier. His next stop was the vet clinic. He was dewormed, was checked for feline aids and leukemia, but everything other than that was pretty much covered. He was already neutered and had no ticks or fleas. After bringing him home, I named him Gemini. He is a long haired brown molted tabby tom Himalayan Persian. He is very sweet.

Today, I also practiced tricks with my cat, Cosmo. He will do four tricks: sit, stand (he stands only on his hind legs), come and his favorite, retrieve. He loves doing all of his tricks. Do you have a cat who will do tricks (please comment below with your answer)?

I also would like to add a picture of Gemini that I drew:

Bye!

Hello!

In this series on "The Purple Paw" I (KittyLover8) will write some things about me, mt cats, and lots more!

I think that I will start by telling readers about my cats, Freya ( see "Freya Limerick" http://thepurplepaw.blogspot.com/2011/12/freya-limerick_24.html) ), and Cosmo...

Freya is a brown tabby she-cat with a white chest, golden eyes and a raspberry-colored nose (I based the kit named Summer Storm in the series "The Flaming River" on her). She is 15 years old. She often plays like a kitten (meowing loudly all the while).

Cosmo is a white tom with some gray spots, a little gray cap, a gray tail, emerald eyes and a very pink nose. He is 2 years old. He will do many tricks (and he loves doing them).

So, those are my cats! =3

Now, a bit about me...

I adore cats. :D Reading and painting are favorite pastimes of mine. Well, that's about it...Oh! I also enjoy cooking.

Good-bye! :)
