A Baby Cat Who Doesn't Wear A Hat.

I swear Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat In The Hat and all those other stories about animals not only because he LOVED animals but maybe his storytelling was a coping mechanism for animal naughtiness or a way of surviving the downside of caring for animals.


i myself don't care for animal rough housing play especially kittens. my little cat is part feral and has drawn blood on me not a few times. she has copped four smacks on the bum for making me bleed. i always cry after i spank her because i don't like hitting her. then i pick her up and cuddle her and say sorry.

i am writing my diary entry with my young 5-month-old tabby kitten draped about my neck and face. i can hardly breathe. my glasses are misting up with her body heat and my breathing out. it's winter here in new zealand..phew..that is better i moved her and now she is lying on my tummy. i'm lying down in bed writing in my diary using my trusty phone.
my arms were aching too and i could hardly see to write.

my kitten's name is Dekker or Dekkie for short n sweet nicknaming. i named her after two influences : my adult daughter's powertools , brand name - Black and Decker and a derivative of my oldest grandchild who is a girl...sorry can't give out her name.

my kitten means the world to me. she is a joy to care for and is more like a little dog in some ways. i shall prove it :-


♥ she loves playing with my shoes and chewing the shit out of them. yes. dekkie has her favourite pair of shoes to chew.
♥ she loves chewing cables and electrical cords. she has totally massacred my one and only charging cable for my phone. i've bought another and hadn't even owned the thing for five minutes and she was sinking her sharp little teeth into that one too! grrrrr...woof!
♥ she is a very keen and expert player of 'FETCH' and prefers small paper balls cf a mini tennis ball. she possesses game finesse and will politely lay the paper ball within my reach for the next throw. my dogs would never put the damn stick down. i had to risk life and limb wrestling the throwing object off them.
♥ my kitten is loyal. i went into town for an hour or so the other day and when i returned home to no cat, i received a text from a friend saying my kitten was uptown trying to cross a busy main road. now. this text came AFTER said roaming kitten came through the door. i sent a text back to my worried friend that puss in boots was back home and she must have gone into town looking for me. well, c'mon. i didn't give the cat a shopping list and debit card.
♥ dekkie loves going for rides in my male friend's suv truck. she has travelled hundreds upon hundreds of kilometres. when she was younger she used to stand at the truck window with her paws on the window looking out. and yes. a window must be down for fresh air for her highness but just a little. she doesn't like hurricane force riding like dogs.
♥ she has a favourite toy : they are the silver rip tabs from the tops of her pouched meatloaf and stews. she hides them down the side of our bed and i am not allowed to touch them.
♥ she insists on a very high standard of hygiene for her personal care. i can give her muddy paws, legs and tummy a warm wash in a sink of water with a mild soap then rinse her and towel her dry. then i put her on the bed with the electric blanket - it's fleece lined with coverings - no electrical accidents and the warmth dries her fully.
♥Dekkie enjoys the comforts of clean bowls for eating and drinking and water bowls must be changed daily. fresh is best. her favourite treat is the odd raw egg freshly broken straight into a clean bowl. and her favourite food is Jimbo's fresh beef pieces.


that's my girl. clever girl. good kitten. i love you Dekker. please don't run away to town ever again.
