kat loves her katten.
MY KITTEN IS BEGINNING TO WORRY ME.
he's really cute, and I'm not even sure I would consider him a kitten anyore. he would be like 8 or 9 in human years, except he's a katten.
he does this really cute thing where he spins in circles chasing his tail and then he loses balance on his feet and just tumbled around the room rapidly on his back while chasing his tail. so pretty much he's doing summersaults, and it's insanely cute because it looks a little bit like a cartoon and it's very comical.
but he wears himself out, he just keeps jumping around on on things and chasing things that don't exist to the point that he has his mouth hanging open and he is panting. and even then he wont stop. last night i picked him up and brought him over to the kitchen where i made some dinner for him and put alot of water in it so he would hydrate, and while he was walking over to his kitty plate so excited, he stopped and just took a nap mid way. he couldn't even make it to his food! that is very unlike him.
he did it again this morning, jumping around until he was beyond tired, and he wouldnt stop or drink any water so i put water on my finger and held him, and then kept putting water on his nose so he would lick it off. I'm just worried that he's going to overheat himself. when i was in africa on the game reserve it was always so important when doing game capture (not to hunt, to move to a seperate bigger reserve) to keep the animals from overheating while running into their cages. particularly with the big cats. animals just dont know when to stop to the point that they could hurt themselves and ultimately die. this worries me with my katten. his name is Jack by the way. I will post a picture of him at some point. Its difficult to get him to look at the camera, as you can imagine.
Every morning he comes into my room and comes up to my shoulder and nuzzles in so we're face to face, and then we sleep. its really insanely cute. if he doesnt come up to my face i usually look sit up and look around the room for him, and as soon as we make eye contact he jumps right over to sleep.
i brought him to the vet 2 days ago. and he was so good. with my other cat (Paolo, he was beautiful and had blue eyes, bluer then any human i've ever met. my neighbor ran him over, i was so devistated) my other cat would get really frantic and we had to have tons of nurses come in and hold him down when we went to the vet, because he was so crazy. he would growl and hiss from the moment we stepped into the vet parking lot.
But Jack is different, I've never heard him growl, or hiss, and he's 3 months old now. He's so good natured. He makes these throaty sounds and squeeks, its just so adorable. everytime i say his name he responds.
anyway back to the vet, the when the vet picked him up jack started kissing him and cuddling with him, and the vet said to me, "not all cat's are like this. you got the perfect kitten" it made me so happy. Jack is cool because on his tummy he has leopard spots. i've never seen anything like it before.
anyway, as you can tell im kind of an animal fanatic. I love cats. My name is kat. My zodiac sign is Leo the Lion, and people always tell me I have cat eyes.
On another note, I've lost 6lbs. I'm pretty physched about that. I know I shouldn't really listen to my scale, but I only get on it early in the morning after i use the bathroom and such, the night before I always have smooth move to clear out my system to get an accurate scale #. the last time I was on it was about 10 days ago, and I was 170.7 Today I am on my period (which I usually gain water weight from) and I'm 164.2 The greantest part of it is that I've been eating 3 meals a day, and never feeling a hunger pang.

I'm on the Atkins diet, and I know, everyone says that i shouldnt, but I've read the book, and I plan on making this a life style change. Anyway it's awesome that I've lost 6lbs eating eggs and cheese for breakfast and turkey burger for lunch and a steak for dinner, in a week. Granted some of that is water weight, but you know that feeling when you're going to sleep and you can feel your body losing weight? I dont know, it feel like little people under your skin moving around and taking tiny little subcutaneous fat cells and throwing them out of your body. lol. I'm an artist, i visualize these things.
Anyway, if I keep up this progress then I should be my goal weight by the time I go back to school. My goal weight is 155, which is how much I weight in January, before I went abroad (again) and gained all this weight. I think when I came home in June I was pushing 183lbs. So that means as of now I have lost 19lbs since June 23rd. I know that's a little fast, but now that I'm closer to 155 I intend to keep it at a steady pace of 2-3lb loss per week. I'll give myself some leeway once I get to school and just make it so that I can atleast lose 1 pound a week. So hopefully, if I don't binge, which I don't think I will. I'll be 158 by August 25th, (18 days, atleast 7lbs, thats about 2.5lbs a week), a pound a week after that, and by Thanksgiving I will be, 148. By christmas I hope to be 145, or under.
That would be wonderful. I just have to be good at school, and stay strong.. I hope I can. i think this time I will. Being thin just means more to me then eating cookies.
My birthday is on Saturday, I'll be 18. A part of me is excited, while another part os me is like, I shouldve been 18 a while ago. I finished highschool when i was 16 and then went away to different countries, where the drinking age was 18 and I was 17. It didn't really matter though, everyone still served me. But still, it would have been easier and more fun to turn 18 in any other country. I still have to be 19 to by cigarettes here, I dont even smoke, I just want the right of passage thing. I already have 2 tattoos, and I've already been skydiving. So, I guess that leaves.. well, I can vote, but I've already registered, so, I guess I can join the army if I felt so compelled. Whatever.
I dont have any friends in my town, so I'm not havng a birthday party with my friends. On my birthday my mom and I are throwing a mojito & tequila sunrise party, with a big cake from Magnolia's bakery (the best cake in new york. Im getting a 3 layer nine inch Red Velvet cake) ordering pizza, having my brothers and sisters over, their friends are coming (which is always really fun) and my moms friends are coming. I know it sounds lame, but family gatherings are just really fun because my family is insane. And so are our friends.
On friday night me and my dad and my brothers are going into the City to a mexican restaurant, and afterwards we're seeing the dark Knight (again) but this time, on IMAX at lincon center. That will be fun.
Anyway so I'm looking forward to this weekend. I've already looked at the menu for the 4-star mexican restaurant, and I found myself an atkins friendly meal. I'm only going to have 1 slice of pizza, and at that i'll only eat the peperoni and cheese. And hell yes, I am eating cake on my birthday. I've been saving up calories for it. (lol)
oh, and im addicted to raspberry vvintage seltzer.
