I've been thinking a lot about everything that's been happening since we last met. Mostly good stuff has been going on, but a couple of bad things happened. I thought that I'd talk about the bad things first. I've been drooling.

That's right. I'm a Princess and Beautiful Belle and I've been drooling. The first time it happened, the Vet thought that I'd been bitten by an insect or spider, so she told Mama to give me an antihistamine if it should happen again. Mama breathed a sigh of relief, because she thought I was having seizures.

Well, it happened again - almost one month to the day of the first time. Mama gave me an antihistamine and I was OK really fast. Then it happened again. The Vet told Mama to keep a log for the times I drooled. Well, I haven't seen a log, but Mama does write down when I drool and what was going on before it happened. Of course, since Mama has been writing things down, I haven't had any drooling.
(Hehehe)

I've changed. Oh, I'm still Beautiful Belle, but I'm also a Tiger. I am a fierce jungle cat. I used to be this wimpy little scaredy cat, but not any more. Now I am a Lion. Hear me roar, or at least meow.

I lived my life in a basket in one room and the only time that I left it was to use the litter box. Mama was really concerned about me, but I was afraid of The Evil One (Holly). Now, I go everywhere in My House. I survey my realm from the top of a bookcase in the living room and decide what I'm going to do for the day. I check out all of the changes and decorations. Aunty Susan put up new baskets that had to be examined. That took a while.

Once I started exploring, there was no stopping me. It was an adventure. I love to get on the bookcase shelves and look at all of the titles. Mama and Aunty Susan love to read and sometimes they'll read stories out loud to me. I love to curl up and listen to them read, but first I have to find the right book. Do I want mystery, comedy, history, or something really dumb and light weight? That takes some time.

Once I've chosen a book, I have to finish my rounds. The other evening I had to bring a crooked picture to Mama's attention. I like things even and balance. Mama came over and fixed the picture and my room looked so much better.

Yes, I am a Tiger or a Lion, but if The Evil One comes around I head for cover. After Davey Jones' pep talk, I have taken control of my life. I am a Fierce Tiger. I am a Lion. Hear me Meow, but I'm not stupid. I hide until The Evil One passes and then I come out again.

This month's Feloga (Feline Yoga) is I Know My Tail Is Here Somewhere: First, you stretch and then sit down with your back very straight. Next, you turn around and look for your tail. Then, you gently take your tail in your paw and bring the tail around your body. Sit looking elegant. Then do it again.

After a long day of taking care of My house and My Humans, I find a nice spot and lie down to rest. It is a tough, but I'm a hard worker and I'll get the job done. I know that Davey Jones is proud of me.

My name is Belle and I'll soon be three years old.
