MISTY'S DIARY MARCH 20, 2000


My Poem
By Misty

I sleep upon my meowmie's bed,
And purr to her while she rests her head,
My brother comes and lays so near,
I lick his fur and purr softly in his ear,
We sleep and purr the hours away,
Till the sun declares a brand new day.

"My cat, Misty, has one of the most unusual habits I've ever seen in a cat. She 'digs' at her water! I put a nice big bowl of fresh water down for all my pets every day. When Misty wants a drink, she goes over to the water bowl, puts both of her front paws on the rim of the bowl, then takes one paw and starts digging on the surface of the water, as if it was cat litter or earth or something. She sends water droplets flying everywhere. Then, after a few minutes of digging, when she's satisfied that she has created enough of a 'hole' in the water, she bends down and starts drinking. This is the most hilarious behavior to watch! I've never seen anything like it in any other pet before. Oh, and let us not forget, if her waterbowl is dry, she won't hesitate to jump up in the sink and lick the water drops from the water faucet to let me know! She's a funny cat."

Mew everyone! This is what my meowmie said about me on The Pet Vine in a recent contest. Well! Doesn't my meowmie know that I have to wash my paws?!? Doesn't she know that I have to make sure there's a hole in the water big enough for me to drink in without getting my face wet?!? So silly these humans! MOL! SnowPuff, Tang, Mother Keedie, and I are graduating from Claw University next month. We got all our grades back from our exams we took for the classes we studied. We all got all straight A's! We are so proud! Mew! Now we will get our BCC degrees and be promoted to level 2 membership in Claw. So cool! Did you have fun at the Claw mardi gras? We did. We rode in the parade on a float! It was a wonderful St. Patrick's Day for us. See you all next time!

Love and Purrs, Misty Beebe
