Again! Just after mommy and daddy left through the door, I walked with them until they shut the door and I noticed another small treat right there on the rug by the door! These treats found a way out of the bag and moved to different places today. I hope mommy doesn't think that I did it! I found 6 today, all in different places from yesterday, how does this happen? It's not like I mind, my tummy is quite happy with this new discovery.
Mommy and daddy came home from work today carrying a blue object with a bell, and holes, and a little loop with a stick in the middle. It sure caught my attention and I ran up to observe it but before I knew it, mommy wrapped the thing around my neck! I couldn't shake it off! It followed me everywhere and made noises the whole time! I really don't like this thing. I tried to scratch it off, I tried to pull it off, I even rubbed it against the floor and the doorway to try to slip it off my neck but it wouldn't budge! What is this thing?!
Mommy must have noticed how much it bothered me because she took it off and let me examine it again. She kept petting me and told me to calm down, saying it was just a "collar" and wouldn't hurt me. I don't see how something so small and thin could be so strong and sticky. She seemed to like it on me though so I told myself to put up with it for today. I hope it gets tired and falls off soon though. I wouldn't miss it. I wonder if my brother has to put up with this torment in his new home?

Hidden treats found!
Both mommy and daddy always leave and come back at the same time. They give me hugs before they leave, lately that's a bad sign telling me they will be gone for a long time again. They keep going to a place called "work" but they only brought something back once and it was an annoying chirping object. I hope they don't bring any more of those things home.
It's really weird but, treats have been spotted all over the place. I wonder how they get into corners, inside shoes, even under the desk where mommy works. It's strange how I keep finding them all over but hey, I don't mind the random snack! Actually, I've started searching quite carefully for more! They randomly appear so I have to keep hunting for them, it's really a fun game and it keeps me busy while my mommy and daddy are out at that place called "work". I don't like when they leave but today it wasn't so bad because I was so busy hunting for these little snack pieces all day.
Mommy said my name really loud again today, with that same voice that sounds different than when she talks. She's strange sometimes, I guess it's something I have to get used to in time. At least she stops saying my name when she finds me again, it's so fun to watch her walk all over the place like that though.
I haven't mentioned it in a while but, today I noticed that the big oval water bowl that daddy stood in to wash himself seemed to lose it's blanket-shield. It has this large, heavy plastic sheet to protect everything from the water that sprays on the other side of it. But that sheet fell down, dragging with it the metal pole that held it up. All this happened while mommy was in with the falling water! Water started splashing everywhere, but that wasn't my main concern. All I could do was run in and watch to see if mommy was safe from such a collapse! She says "it's about time we replace that pole". I guess it's not that important after all. She finished washing herself even without it holding up the blanket. What a scary situation though, what if it hurt mommy?

The annoying chirpy toy
Mommy and daddy were gone alot today. They came back after the sun went away. They brought in this strange new object, some sort of yellow and white spotted strip of soft material attached to a stick that makes chirping sounds. I couldn't put up with the annoying chirps for very long, so I started to bite warnings at the soft spots of this object. It kept making noises whenever I touched it! I don't understand what this thing is for, but I'm going to silence it as soon as I figure out how!
It seems my appetite is back. I have decided that the kitten chow is good and all, but I think I like the kitten food that came with the "Purina kitten package" that Mrs. Peggy gave to mommy so she will know how to take care of me. I like how soft the little food bits are. They also taste better than the canned stuff in so many ways! Besides, mommy doesn't like to clean up dried wet food. I don't blame her, cuz I don't like it either when it dries up.
Mommy started working with some really pretty and shiny strings. She keeps tying knots in them to make patterns. She called it "nylon craft cord" but it's really more like strings to me! She told me she got blue and white to match me. Am I blue? I'm more white with a little gray. I don't see blue, maybe she means my eyes? Anyway, she's making knots to represent the day and month that I was born, and also to represent the day she brought me home. The knots are making it tall and thick, and it's starting to get really long already! I can't resist playing with the ends of the strands while she flips them around all over. Really I'm only attacking the parts she won't need, it's so much fun too!
One thing I started to notice today is, mommy randomly says my name longer and louder than other times. It only happens when I'm far away from her and she can't see me. But she says my name so many times without looking at me so it's hard to tell why my name is said so much. Does it have anything to do with that color she named me after?
It's close to bedtime now. I think maybe mommy will let me sleep in the big bed again now. I've proven my innocence and I know where my litter box is now for sure! I've been very good and I know there won't be any mess tonight. Daddy seems happy too, cuz he's been holding me alot today. Maybe I'll curl up with him tonight too.

Midnight mess
The blanket last night was a very nice idea, but after my mommy and her mate were sleeping, I decided I just couldn't keep away from her. I wanted to hear her heartbeat again so I jumped on the bed and made myself comfortable. I fell asleep to the sound of her heartbeat. In the night though, I woke up and realized I had not used any litter box since I left Mrs. Peggys house. I really really had to go, but I didn't know where I could. I tried to walk around to look for a place but I couldn't hold it anymore so I peed where I lay. I tried to bury it in the blanket, I never liked leaving a mess behind.
I guess I didn't bury it very well because my mommy woke up and saw what happened. I wasn't finished burying it yet, but she woke her mate up and told him not to move. Then I noticed that the spot I peed at was just over her mate on his lap! Oh no! I really felt very bad. I didn't know what to do! He got so mad at me, he took off his clothes and I could see that they were wet. Was that really all from me?! I must have had to go more than I thought! I really didn't want to upset my mommy or her mate. I didn't know what else to do, honestly!
After they cleaned up my mess, they put new blankets on the bed. I didn't dare bother them again, I felt so bad. Her mate wouldn't look at me, he said something really loud and stood in a big oval bowl of water and threw water on himself to clean off my mess. Then he put on some new clothes and went under the new clean blankets. I didn't dare go up to him again. I must have really upset him, but he did manage to laugh when my mommy said something. I hope that's a good thing. My mommy showed me my mess, then she took me to that blue box and told me "this is where you make this mess". So maybe I was right! Maybe this box was a replacement for my old litter box!
Oh I won't make that mistake again! My mommy locked me up in the small room with the blue box. She told me that "daddy" didn't want me to leave that room until I learned where I need to pee. Her mate - "daddy" - is right. I didn't complain, but I did cry myself to sleep because I couldn't lay against my mommy's chest, her heartbeat was too far away to put me to sleep so it took me a long time to fall asleep.
Hours after the sun peeked through the bottom edge of the door, my mommy came in again. She held me and brought me to daddy to tell him I was sorry. I guess daddy forgot about the mess I made, all over him, in the middle of the night. He gave me candy pieces! I really didn't deserve them but I was so happy to get them! I thanked him many times for sure!
I was allowed to walk around freely and get familiar with places I have not yet explored but now that it is bedtime, it seems I have to sleep in the bedroom again. Mommy says it's for the best, and it would make daddy happy to know that I fully understand this is my new litter box. I guess I shouldn't argue. This blanket wasn't so bad last night, at least it's fluffy and warm. I just curled up in the little burrow I made in it last night and I'll sleep before long.

A new home
The morning started out like every other morning. My brother and me in a cubby on one end of a large room with a bunch of other cats that look different from me. Across from me was a cubby with my mom and her new litter of kittens that barely opened their eyes. And next to our cubby was a couple of kittens who are my half sisters and one brother. They are older than me though.
Everything was normal until suddenly, as if she knew I was waiting for her, a pretty lady walked in with Mrs. Peggy! This lady was really happy to see me and wanted to hold me right away and before I knew it she told me what I was waiting to hear. "I'm here to take you home. I'm your new mommy". Her voice was really soft, I liked it. That's when everything changed. I was expecting this day to come. My brother already met his new mommy but she didn't take him home yet so he's still waiting for her. My other brother and sisters from an older litter had many visitors all the time too. I can't help but think how much I will miss them all but I know they will have new mommys of their own soon!
The hardest part about today I'd have to say was the long ride in the box that purrs. It moved very fast and was very big, but my new mommy made it more relaxing when she held me against her chest for most of the way. I really liked listening to her heartbeat, so I tried my best to keep from crying. She and her mate were talking about my new name for a long time. They came up with so many I forget what they were but her mate suddenly said my name should be "Cyan", because of the color of my eyes. I liked that name too, because it seemed fitting for a pretty girl cat like me. Ok, ok, I admit I'm still a kitten, but hey I'm 4 months and one whole week old!
I must have fallen asleep because the whole hour passed by, and we stopped at a really big place with lots of food and supplies. At first I thought this was my new home but then I really hoped it wasn't because there were so many people walking around with other strange animals with tails. I couldn't be sure but some of them acted like the dog that Mrs. Peggy had. They sure didn't look like dogs though, and they were really loud!
My new mommy held me really close while she walked around and picked out things for me. Another lady stopped her and asked if she could pet me. I'm so glad my mommy let me sniff her first, and didn't let go of me while the lady pet me. I'm a bit shy, and I did't want to be away from my new mommy. She and that strange lady talked about me for a while. When asked what kind of cat I was, my mommy said "blue point Siamese". I couldn't hear most of what they talked about because the lady's animal kept shouting so much. But I heard her mention my previous home with Mrs. Peggy at "Cat Haven". It's strange that she would tell my whole history to this strange lady. But maybe this lady wants to be a mommy too! Maybe she will go to meet my sisters! I hope so.
We finally left that noisy place, with a bunch of supplies and food to take back to that box that purrs. My mommy told me "we're finally going home". She carried me in through a big wooden door and let me walk around. My goodness, it was so strange because I could not recognize a single smell here! It was like no cat had ever stepped foot in this place! Could I really be the only one? I was so worried that I'd be bullied by another cat, but could it really be possible to have this whole place for myself? Wow!
I had a very busy day sniffing the entire place out. There are so many places to hide, but I'm proud to say I only hid for 5 minutes before I realized how silly I was acting. My mommy really didn't mind me walking all over her things while she put together a blue box with sand in it. My mommy said she bought it because it matches my eyes, and she poured some kitten chow into a bowl telling me that it was food for me to eat when I was hungry. But how could I possibly be hungry? I was too excited to see the whole place.
There's something familiar about the blue box. It looks like the litter box that my brother and I shared, but it doesn't smell the same. Even when my mommy took the large top dome off of it, I still wasn't convinced. Maybe later I'll understand what it is for.
After a long day of exploring, I don't think I could possibly get any sleep. I'm still to excited about my wonderful day! But my mommy and her mate put a blanket beside their bed and told me I could sleep there. Too bad they shut the door and kept me inside their room because I wanted to explore some more while they slept. Oh well, tomorrow is another exciting day!
