’Boys will be boys’ we women think of our human children when we were younger, right? Well, that goes for me when it comes to my male cat Magic Salem Victor. Please do not ask me why all my cats have two middle names. When my first cat was Emilee Marie Cuddles for half her life because my friend Jennie Sommers thought that her name should have Marie Cuddles as her name, so my first cat, at 8 years of age, became Emilee Marie Cuddles Karnopp Kitty.
Hmmm? What am I talking about today? Well… I am trying to talk about Magic Salem Victor, my boy Kitty who is now 5 years old. Today, he had a very naughty streak in him a day today. Neither Jackie or I could knock it out of him today. Was it due to the weather? I wonder about it sometimes. Today was a dreary day all day long. Anyway, when it does come to Magic’s naughty streaks, I do have to admit it is more than once a week. He just has a little naughty streak in him. He’s playing too roughly with his sister Millie who is going to be 2 in July. Yes, my babies are 3 years apart, and since Emilee and Bing were only ‘one kitty’ household their whole lives, and having a ‘two kitty‘ household came into play was when Magic was being taken care of without pay while I was in the nursing homes in 2022 for 6 months of my life I will NOT experience again as long as I have a home to go to to be with my fur babies. At the time, Magic was the only fur baby, and Millie became his adopted sister in December 2023 at her being 5 months old. After my 15 year old kitty passed away in 2020, Magic Salem Victor became a member of the Karnopp family on October 6, 2020, 6 days AFTER Bing passed away. Bing was Bing Noel-Nuggles Crosby Karnopp on December 18, 2006, 1 month and 4 days after Emilee Marie Cuddles passed away. Why the memories? Well… every now and then I have memories of my first two fur babies who were in ‘one kitty’ household their whole life, and I NEVER thought of having a ‘two kitty’ household until 2023 for my Magic Kitty. Hmm?! Well… my babies are ALL special in their own way, the ones now long gone and gone for 5 years now. My love for ALL of my babies are unique and special. It took a while for me to fully understand my Millie Rose Blossom Kitty when I first met her on December 9, 2023 because I was NOT the one who brought her home that evening. My caregivers Jackie and Debbie brought her home. Her deposition was very skittish an timid. She has come a long way since 2023!
Anyway… I can talk about my fur babies all day and night while awake and in my sleep whrn I finally get some, lol. Anyway, that’s my life, people. My babies. That’s why they, Magic and Millie have a diary here at Dear Diary/DD. I just don’t write about their lives here every day because we have a routine and when my fur babies have a day, like today, that something happened, it will be mentioned with some worth of the heart of mine. ❤️ I love my babies and they are a part of my private world as public as I will go with them to protect them and me from the outside world that can be very cruel at times. Today, being one of those days for some reason. What lives my babies have lived these days.

He had a naughty streak in him ALL day long, but Millie Rose Blossom set him straight once today before he Setti,ed down for the evening.
Millie Rose Blossom
My first girl since Emilee Marie Cuddles has been gone from 1990-2006– 16 years of age when she passed away. Anyway, going on being 2 in July, has come a long way since her skittish and timid ways of the wild and outdoorsy kitten ways came into view and was deemed feral, I have to admit, Magic is my bonded kitty while Millie bonded with Debbie, my caregiver first, a few months ago one day while she was petting Millie while coaxing her from under the lift chair I was sitting on getting ready for the day. That moment in Millie’s life became a bond between Deb and Millie. Am I upset or jealous? No, I am not. Since Magic and I have a bond, Millie needs to have her own bond right now. She allows me to pet her occasionally and every now and then while she’s nearby, and this week, she did not bolt away from me while petting her three times this week. She is improving since December 2023.
As a matter of fact, Millie has her ways, too. She’s very talkat and very lovingly to Deb these days. The way Deb and Millie communicate with each other. To be very honest with you, I am a little Hurt emotionally that Millie has latched herself to Deb in a way that Magic and I have aa our relationship to be very honest. Yet, she’s my baby girl. Deb thinks that if I didn’t have Magic, Millie would have bonded with me. I doubt it, though. Magic and I do HAVE a bond that cannot or will not be broken. My mom is right about Millie being a true feral kitty from the start.
No matter what happens between Millie and I, I still love Millie for her. I’m okay with it that she has found her trusted person—Deb—my caregiver, I have a bond with Magic that will not be broken. He sleeps with me, cuddkes and snuggles with ME!
