July 1st, 2000: September 4, 2000: Dear Diary, Wow, I've been super busy :) I ran away
and couldn't find my way home for 2 weeks! Not a smart move. I got into a fight before I came home so meowmie had
to take me to the vet to get some stitches and antibiotics. They also had to wrap my paw cause it was cut :( I'm
feeling much better now and you can't even tell I was hurt. I sure did miss my humans, my friends, Sassy, and of
course my love Bandit! I also joined the new Cat's Meow Club and have been working very hard on my Kittengarden
classes! I joined a few groups too...what fun!! I finally finished what I was making for me and Bandit, it's a
wink-wink page! You can see it at Shadow and Bandit. I can't
wait to surprise my Bandy with it :) Guess that's it for now, I will paw more soon. Purries, Shadow September 20, 2000: Dear Diary, Oh mew, I am so sad!! My wonderful wink-wink,
Bandit, and his fur-mommy, Smokey Amber, are missing :( It's been almost a week and I'm furry worried about them.
I miss them both so much! Their human meowmie is searching endlessly for them...I hope she can find them soon *wipes
tears*. Will write more later. Sad Purrs, Shadow September 24, 2000 Dear Diary, Still no news on Smokey Amber or my
beloved Bandy *sniff*. I'm so worried about them! I just found out that several other kitties from their neighborhood
are missing too :( I miss them soooo much. Oh mew, I hope they come home soon! I passed my Kittengarden exam at The
Cat's Meow Club! I'll get my diploma at the first graduation ceremony. I have started taking classes at the University
and Sassy and I even got our own dorm room! I'll post the link to it as soon as it is finished being decorated
:) I've been working on all of my activities in Ailurophilia and The Cat's Meow Club. Unfortunately, Sassy keeps
adding to her responsibilities so I don't get nearly enough computer time. Oh well, one bite to her tail and she
runs like a scaredy cat, so it's not too bad *evil kitten grin*. Will paw again soon, Dear Diary. Purries, Shadow October 30, 2000 Dear Diary, I love autumn! This is my very first
one too. I live in Indiana (as you already know) so I get to view the change of the seasons. The colors are stunning
and the air turns much cooler, which means that the doors and windows are opened instead of that ol' noisy air.
I love looking out and watching all of the furry critters scurrying around preparing for winter. I also enjoy watching
the pretty leaves fall to the ground...it sure would be fun to chase them around for awhile :) Meowmie has been
telling me about all of the holidays that occur in the fall also, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving (my mouth
is already watering for the turkey!). I say we should include Kitties Day in the fall too! Come to think of it,
it should be included in every season :) Time to go watch the critters again, will paw soon. Purries, Shadow October 31, 2000 Dear Diary, Happy Halloween! I'm not sure what to
expect of this holiday. Meowmie told me about the human kittens that dress in costumes and go knocking door to
door for treats, of course I thought she meant Pounce! This will shock you, but can you believe that they do all
of this for candy?! What a waste, I'd hold out for catnip! Meowmie has been extra careful about making sure Sassy
and I don't escape since there are many mean humans who like to torture kitties, especially around Halloween. She
says she has to be extra careful with me because they really like black cats....doesn't everybody? MOL (meowing
out loud)! Silly meowmie :) Oh, a really funny thing happened! Meowmie put a witch's hat on Sassy...you should
of seen the little scaredy cat run away!!! She's a riot sometimes. Well, time to go get ready to greet the ghosts
and goblins :) Purries, Shadow November 5, 2000 Dear Diary, Well, I finally got to join CLAW! I
was always a little jealous that I never got to join before they closed. Now that they've reopened I get my chance.
Sassy always talked about her CLAW days and how special they were and for once I must admit that she didn't exaggerate!
I've just completed all of my classes for my "Honorable
Cat" degree, now I'm just waiting on my grades...so far, all A's!! I'm such a smart kitty...MOL :) The only way I could be any happier
is if my sweet Bandy came home. They've still had no luck in locating him or his fur-meowmie, Smokey. I miss them
so much! I'll write again soon. Purrs, Shadow November 26, 2000 Dear Diary, Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday!!!
Humans cook this giant bird that they call a turkey...it's delicious! Meowmie gave me and Sassy all we wanted.
I, however, wanted more so I jumped up to daddy's plate and helped myself! I never seen meowmie laugh so hard.
We then proceeded to put up a tree in
the living room. Finally, I thought, these humans are learning to decorate a house correctly! Unfortunately that
was not the case. They put cute little bulbs and ornaments on the tree and kept talking about how pretty it was...silly
humans! While Sassy was being adorable and batting at the bulbs close to the bottom, I took off for the top of
the tree. You should have seen everyone scrabbling to catch me! Then the unbelievable happened, they squirted me
with water to get me out of there!!! I'll never understand them...they give me a new toy and then I can't play
in it? Oh well, it was an exciting day :) Will paw more soon! Purrs, Shadow
Welcome to my online diary! This will be a collection of my thoughts and feelings as a baby kitten experiencing
the world :)
Dear Diary,
Meows! Wow, what a crazy couple of days this has been for me! I was adopted on June 26th, 2000 from the shelter
in the next town. I was then taken to the shelter's vet who said I was pretty sick but they weren't sure what was
wrong. Meowmie decided to take me to Sassy's vet to be see if they could find out something. Come to find out,
my tummy has just been really upset. Then they gave me some medicine to calm my belly, Advantage for my fleas,
and had me de-wormed...boy do I feel better!!! I'm only 8 weeks old so this has really been the biggest situation
in my life so far :) Now, a little about myself. I'm a black domestic shorthair with a tiny white spot on my chest,
meowmie says it looks like a little bib...silly humans! I just finally got my name last night, do you know how
hard it is to not have a name? :) Sassy hasn't been very nice to me so far, she hisses more than any kitty I've
ever seen! Meowmie says to give her time but I'd really like to play with her...she has a very long tail that would
be lots of fun to attack! My main hobbies are eating (a lot) and playing. Will write again soon.
Purrs, Shadow

Dear Diary,
Meowy mew! Alot has happened lately. Sassy has turned from a mean ol' hisser into a kitten-bopper! She's spoiled
rotten too. She makes meowmie think I'm killing her so that I get into trouble. But I'm sure she likes me...who
wouldn't? I'm getting really big too! I weigh almost 4 pounds now. The humans also took me back to that mean old
vet place...can you believe they had the nerve to stick a needle in me? How humiliating! But they did say that
I am perfectly healthy now...except for eating too much :) I play a lot though, actually that's about all I ever
do! Oh and you'll never guess what happened to me! I have a wink-wink!!! His name is Bandit and he is the most
catsome kitty I've ever seen, all grey. He's very sweet too. I will be making a page for us soon :) Well, I guess
that's about it for now. Will write again soon!

Dear Diary,
Meowy mew! Wow, life is fun! I have been spending most of my time playing and picking on Sassy (of course *grin*).
Meowmie says she feels like a referee. I've also been making new friends in Ailurophilia. Oh mew, and my wink-wink
Bandit has been sending me beautiful cards and emeows....he's so sweet! I'll be making something special for us
soon, but I can't tell mew what yet :) Time to go eat some more *rubs tummy*! Will write again soon!
Purries, Shadow
