Well, I've been on this hellish diet for a week and I know you're shocked at how emaciated I look. This is so disgusting--they want me to look like Kate Moss or one of those other size 0 models.
Despite being starved, there is some good news. The squirrels are leaving tomorrow. Yeah!! Finally! I get my yard back. Pardon me while I do a little dance of joy. Keep reading and you can see them for the last time. But, first let me thank our WCB host for this weekend, Belly Timber. Go there to see the roundup of cool kitties.
Ok, here they are--and if you ask me, they are pretty fat. But, apparently it's OK for them to be Plus Sizes.
I still don't know why mom likes them so much.
Goodbye, you dingy squirrels. Don't let the door hit you on the butt on your way out! Now I can be the center of attention again--as God intended!
Too funny kitty! I've really enjoyed the squirrels!! Happy trails for them. Well, and now kitty too.

LOL! Every time I see a picture of your kitty, it puts a smile on my face! :)
Those are pretty chubby squirrels, but I guess they can go and feast elsewhere.
Mr. Mao is back for weekend cat blogging...

Sher, aren't you going to leave a link at Belly Timber's? I think squirrels have the cutest noses!

Tanna,
Well, we had a little problem: They refused to get into their box and we're going to try it again tomorrow!! Wouldn't you know that would happen? Upsie is miffed.
kross-eyed kitty,
Oh goody--I'll go over and see M. Mao. He certainly knows how to keep a nice figure. We should all be as lucky as him!!!!
Lisa,
Upsie says you have impeccable taste--and the squirrels are fat! :)
Aria,
Upsie thanks you for admiring her fangs! She says they make her look fierce--the better to scare squirrels.
Joy T,
Well, now Upsie is mad because the squirrels refuse to leave! They are being uncooperative. She thinks I may let them stay!
Shannon,
Thanks for reminding me! I thought I had done it, but that was for WHB. I'm so discombobulated because I'm cooking a big stew for company tomorrow!! Yes, the squirrels are just too cute. I love their pretty white fur.

Those squirrels are nowhere near as fat as the ones in my yard! Good luck to them!

Love that Upsie! The weekend wouldn't be the same without her!!
Posted by: Christine | December 09, 2006 at 02:23 PM
Upsie, you do indeed look veeeery angry on those pictures! I can understand how painful it is for you to be on a diet, but I'm sure that your mom wants no Kate Moss at home!!! You look just perfect with that awesomely cuddly body...
The squirrels are sooooo sweet! I want one!!!!

Love that full on head shot of Upsie. Great pic! And love all the squirrel pics. They've grown so much. They're not babies anymore.

The squirrel photographs are amazing... no offence Upsie. You definitely are the cutest one. (I especially like your little underbite pictures... just like my parents bulldog!)
Posted by: D | December 09, 2006 at 07:09 PM
OMG! Look at that fur! Make sure you come visit us for WCB next week.

thanks, sher -- for shering!!

That's what they say: The best laid plans of mice er squirrels. Poor Upsie!
Posted by: Tanna | December 10, 2006 at 12:02 AM
Two words, Upsie: "secret stash"
Posted by: s'kat | December 10, 2006 at 07:10 AM
Awww poor kitty. Dieting is rough, isn't it?? Hang in there, I'm right with you.
I went to Petsmart to pick up fishtank filters and they had rescued kitties up for adoption. I wish we could have adopted one, but our landlord won't allow pets in our apartment. I found one rather fluffy (he was a bit overweight, but I call him fluffy, not fat!) kitty I really fell in love with. My husband had to pry me away!

Sher - I can hardly stand the cuteness of your squirrels. Squirrels - along with ducks - are one of those critters that make me laugh out loud just because they are so funny.
I'm loving that first photo of Upsie!
Let us know how the Great Squirrel Release goes!

Upsie-You shall soon reign supreme once again. It's too bad you don't like the squirrels, because I think they're pretty cute!
Posted by: kristi | December 11, 2006 at 09:01 AM
Those squirrels are awfully darned cute, Upsie. Not that you aren't cute, but those squirrels -- they're adorable.
