Well it's been a while since I have posted anything. Life has been very busy at home so it's hard to get time to get near the computer. 

Im going to have a cousin very soon as Aunti Shanna and Uncle PJ are about to have a new baby.  Mum has been buying lots of thing for the new baby and organising the baby shower too.

It's going to be very exciting.  Mum and Dad are also going to Thailand soon, so Nanna is coming to stay at my house and look after me and Boss while they are away. Mum has told me I must be on my best behaviour while they are gone and she will bring me a present back if i'm good.

Life has been cruising for me lately, althought Mum and Dad have been very busy working and saving for their holiday.  Nanna and Uncle Ben are going to America soon as well, so maybe i'll get a present from them too.

Not much to report, but if you have any interesting kitty stories feel free to leave a comment and i'll reply as best I can.

Love Leo xoxoxo

 Hey all,  looks like Leo hit the jackpot with a very interested young female burmese beauty.  Only prob is she lives in sydney, but I'm sure we could make a long distance relationship work?  I told mum about her today, she thinks it's sooooo cute ( as mums do!) Dad said 'Good on ya son...go get her' but I think that just Dad saying it's time to leave home cause i've been chewing on the blinds....hehehe.  I wish I had a bigger picture of her to show you all!!! Might have to ask her to send me one to my mum's email address.....hint hint Isa (erin.greenman@bigpond.com) By the way her name is Isa (how pretty!) Hope to have more news and photos soon for my audience soon......take care.......Leo G xoxoxo P.s it was my birthday yesterday and I turned 4....so did my cousin Bobby on the same day....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my MUM for tommorow (13 October). Catch ya ;)

My Big Brother Charlie

 Hello,

My Name is Charlie Greenman. I am Leo's big brother who lives at nanna's house. I don't live with mum and dad yet because dad said no. I would love to go live with them because I miss Leo sooooo much.  Mind you, I do get pretty spoilt here now he's gone and I can still hang out with cousin Bobby, Tex and Teddy.  Leo has changed so much since he moved out, now that he uses the loo and all, i think mum's going to teach me next i hope, maybe i can be in the paper too!!!!!

I am very upset with the ignorance of two readers of the 'Gold Coast Sun' with nothing better to do than slander innocent people they know nothing about.  Maybe they should get their facts straight before they point fingers and make personal attacks.

My Mum was very upset when she was shown the letters in Wednesday 9th August, 'Gold Coast Sun', in relation to an article that was published the week before about my toilet training, "Clever Cats Poo In The Household Loo".

Here is the 1st letter:

"GEE! One of your readers has trained her cat to use her toilet because she would save $600 a year on kitty litter.  If my cat used $12 of kitty litter a week I'd take it to the vet before I looked at it's toilet procedures.  Maam, some kitty litter looks like muesli.  I hope you've been buying the right stuff."

                                                         Nev Parker, Ashmore.

Well Mr. Parker, as much as my Mum and myself appreciate your concern about my well being, my toilet habits are nothing out of the ordinary.  My Mum used to clean and replace my litter every two days for hygienic reasons.  While you may feel that doing this less often is okay, we simply could not handle that sort of filth, let alone the smell.  So shoot us for wanting a safe, clean household.

My Mum sometimes spent more than the mentioned amount on my litter habits, you see we both prefered the 'Top' Crystal Litters as it is more effective and better for the environment.  We also used litter liners, which also account to the cost.  So Sir if you prefer to buy a cheaper product, than that is your choice.  Maybe you're not an animal owner at all, which would explain your ignorance.

And the 2nd letter:

"How unbelievable.  I am refering to the article titled, 'Kitty Can Do On The House Loo' in the 'Gold Coast Sun'.  And I don't mean 'wonderful' unbelievable; I mean 'appalling' unbelievable.  Using our precious, dwindling water supply to flush cat's urine down the loo? I need say no more."

                                                Dorothy Baker, Palm Beach.

Mrs. Baker, if you consider one or two 1/2 flushes (if that) a day, a waste of Gold Coast's water supply than you obviously have issues.  Taking into account the amount of water used to clean a litter tray amount's to much more, I would be praising my Mum instead of convicting her of being a water waster.

Also taking into perspective that kitty litter and the waste it contains is dumped into landfill adding to ground contamination rather the waste itself being treated at the water treatment plants, you're obviously ok with the dumping of waste over a much more environmentally friendly option, or that you are ignorant to the pathways that our local waste take.  If you want to take it out on someone why don't you write to the RSPCA who support and encourage people all over the world to use this product because of it's major benefits to the environment.  Encouraging people to keep their cat's inside to prevent them killing wildlife, unnecessary breeding and injuries from cars, fighting.etc.

All I can say is how sad for these people, for all that is wrong in the world this is what they choose to complain about.  Lord knows how they would deal with major world issues, or maybe they should just stop reading the paper so as not to upset themselves in future.

Today I experienced my first timein the 'lime light'.  A lovely lady name Merilyn from the Gold Coast Sun Newspaper came across this blog and though i would made a great story.  I even got a pic next to Doogle the Litter Kwitter Kat!!!! Mum did have to pick the most embarrasing photo of me on the loo though (good one mum!)

Mum did my interview for me.....due to the language barrier and a got a big write up about all my toilet training achievements.  Merilyn even compared me to the GREAT MR. JINX!!!!!

Nanna read the paper this morning and said she was sooooo proud of me and Mum gave me a big kiss and a cuddle,  Dad just laughed. Anyway.......i've got lots of stuff to get done today.....sleeping etc, so i'll leave it at that.  If you want to see my pretty face in the paper turn to page.21 of the Gold Coast Sun Newspaper released Wednesday 2nd August 2006.

Bye for now xoxoxo

Hi All,

I recently had a big day outside all by my lonesome.  I thought it would be  a great idea to sneak out of the house while daddy wasn't looking when he left for work.  Mum got up later that day and could not find me......cause i was hiding....it was really funny until I heard her crying.  By now I could not remember which house was mine because I have never been outside at the new house and they all look the same!

I spent the whole day hiding in a yard under a car because I was scared and i didn't know how to get home.

Then i heard Mum's car and then her voice, seconds later I saw her come into the yard where I was hiding and I came bounding into her arms. Mum took my back home and gave me lots of cuddles and kisses!

I promised Mum i would never do that again because she was really upset and had the whole neighbour hood looking for me......oops :)

Hi, and welcome to my blog!!!!!  My name is Leo Greenman and i am a three year old Burmese cross feline.  I just though i would take some time out of my busy day to tell you about my wonderful family.

I have a mum and dad that love me very much and a younger brother too!!! My mum rescued me when i was 6 weeks old from the Robina Vet Clinic when a nasty person left me and my two sisters on the front door step.  When i first saw my mum she was taking my cousin Bobby the matlese to see the doctor, it was love at first sight and we have been best friends ever since.

I haven't known my dad for very long, because i have been living Nanna's while mum and dad bought a house for us to live in together. I like my dad, even though sometimes he can be a teaser.  I live inside at our new house.  I used to live outside at Nanna's house  because Nanna does not like cats inside.  I love living inside, (especially in winter) but  i'd love to go outside and hunt birds  but mum gets cranky if i do.

I also have a little brother named Boss, he is a 2 year old Pug dog (no resemblence).  He's really friendly, but sometimes rough.  He lives outside because he likes to pee on things (alot!!!!).  Me and boss play together when mum or dad lets him inside, sometimes he chases me and sometimes i chase him, which makes mum and dad laugh!!!!

I also have just learnt to use the toilet, just like mum and dad!!!  It wasn't easy at first, but now i'm getting the hang of it.  I had a few accidents, but mum is very understanding.  If you don't believe me have a look at the photos in my gallery!!!
