My name is Lucky Pickle and I am the orangiest cat on the web. This is my journal.

I remember a long time ago it was warm outside my house and I could run and play and eat the grass that grew all over the place. Now it's COLD outside and everything is covered with snow. I don't know if it will ever be warm again. But Mummy grows us some grass in a flowerpot so we can snack on it. We like it very much.

Today Sandy figured out how to open the Big Can of crunchy cat food! He is very clever.

Look at the new section on my website Lucky art.

Are you wondering how I got my name? When I was first born I was named Pumpkin, because I'm orange. Then my family changed my name to Tigger. When I came to live with Mummy she named me after her Granny and Grandad's cat Pickle who was orange too. Here's a picture of Pickle:

You can't tell he was orange because that picture was taken before they invented colour I think. Mummy says she took that picture in 1968 in England where Pickle lived.

Anyway, I got the Lucky part of my name because she says I'm lucky to be alive and because she's lucky to be my mummy.

Anyone want to come and play in the bathtub with me?

January 17, 2004

It's too cold to go outside and play so I've been making up some new games to play in the house. I used to like to play litterbox hockey but now I've invented bathtub basketball. You put a ball in the bathtub and try and hit it into the drain. When you score a point you have to grab the ball with your mouth and take it to the other end of the bathtub and start again. It's really fun, specially with a nice bouncy ball in the middle of the night. Then Mummy says "STOP MAKING ALL THAT NOISE AND GO TO SLEEP LUCKY!"

I also tried some other games. I ate 6 inches of wool out of the middle of a skein that Mummy had just spun on her spinny wheel. Then I grabbed a box of paper clips from Mummy's desk drawer, ran off and dropped paper clips all over the house. I found a bottle of vaseline and carried it around and hid it in a box. Mummy will never find it there! Then I tried to eat a plastic daffodil and then I jumped on the stove. Why does Mummy keep telling me "BAD KITTEN"?

Someone ate 2 of my 3 baby guppies but today there were 3 more new ones!

You can see me grow now. it's kind of embarassing to see pictures of me when I was little but Mummy thinks they're cute.

One of my guppies had 3 babies today! They are very small. Mummy made the girl guppies and boy guppies live in different aquarium houses so they won't keep having babies but one of the girls was already pregnant. I guess fishes can't get spayed and neutered like we can. All us cats are neutered in our house.

HAPPY MEW YEAR everyone!

These are my goldfishes. They live in a big glass house made of glass. Their house is full of water.

I like to watch them sometimes and I specially like to taste their food and water. Why does Mummy say "Go away Lucky"?

It's snowing out today!
