Hi everyone at the Fredcat residence. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, I confess to not visiting the site as often as I should have, but I did put a link to it on my own site at

http://www.g6urp.co.uk/other_links.htm#Cats :-)

I know so well what it's like to lose someone you love dearly, I am a volunteer at a local rescue shelter/adoption centre and I get very attached to some of the longer-stay residents, especially the older ones. Here are a couple of links to two of my all time favourites, Sheba and Catherine:

Hi there How lovely to read about the arrival of Frankie. I am sure that Fredcat would approve that his humans are being kept on their toes and not allowed to get slack! We have moved Fredcat from the Gorgeous Gingers page to the Rainbow Gingers page, where you will find him at http://rainbowgingers.blogspot.com. Hope you like the page. Best wishes      
Kate and Fat Eric, Jul 31 2007  

All our love and purrs for you and your wonderful, compassionate human! Thank you for being our friends. *hugs, love, and cheekrubs*

Dear Cathie and Mr.B, I have just discovered Fredcat's website and was moved to tears by his story. Please accept my sincerest condolences for the loss of your beloved Freddy. I know how hard this must be for you. I am still grieving the loss of my own ginger boy, Rascal, who died this last April. He was my dear companion for 16 years and I miss him terribly. He will always live on in my memory as, I am sure, Freddy will in yours. My thoughts are with you.       
Pam from New Jersey, Jul 31 2007  

Dear Cathie and MR. B, I just wanted you to know that I put a post up on my page in honor of Fredcat, I would like to put up a picture of him as well, if I may have your permission. My human (Annie) and I are very sad about Fred, but we think that Frankie would be happy to share his secrets about Fredcat and perhaps help to filll a hole that is in your hearts. We will continue to share your stories of Fredcat on my blog, and if Frankie comes to live with you we will share his stories also! http://daisy-the-dog.blogspot.com/2007/07/fred-cat-famous.html       
Daisy, Jul 31 2007  

Condolences and prayers to Fred's family.       
Tigger and Family, Jul 30 2007  

Cathie, Thank you so much for the email. Mom has gone to the website several times but hadn’t visited it yet today. We know from experience how the loss of your best friend can take what seems like an eternity to get over. Mom still thinks of Tiger, my brother and he has been gone many years. I am so happy you have met Frankie the Fearless. We kitties do communicate with each other. I hope if you bring him home he can help fill your emptiness. No one will replace Fredcat. We are thinking of you…. Sox

Dearest Freddikins I am so sorry to hear that you are not your usual self. It is a blow indeed. Hearing of your ailments cannot but help to put me in mind of the happy times we have shared. I am proud to say I am one of your adoring many but one of the few to have actually been in your august presence. It has been an honour to be allowed into your desmain and allowed to feed you a choice tit bit from time to time. I always felt protected by you, knowing you were on 24 hour alert, patrolling territory with your faithful acolytes, squirrels and raccons posted on the perimeters. Your friend in deeds and maybe the odd 'crime' or two, Snotty, sends a tail whisk and a purr. With best loves and chuckachins, I remain, your faithful servant, mx

Cole. B., The Zoo, Nashville, Tennessee, US, Jul 13 2007  

Dear Fredcat, Catster made an honest mistake in loosing my payment, but, I had the proof of the cashed check at the bank. They fixed all my pages and gave us 145 free zealies!! A mistake well worth it!! Mr. Vegemite is feeling so grand and healthy now that he is not spending a lot of time here. As soon as he finds out that he has been fixed and feels different, he'll stay around our yard way more and then when it gets colder mom will bring him in. Our other sister Lady Jane, she don't like being all around us cats so mom bought her a cathouse that she puts a heating pad in it in the winter for her, otherwise, she does try to get her to come inside still. When she refuses, mom don't feel so bad seeing her cuddle inside that house ontop the heating pad. Lady Jane has tons of Persian fur too so that helps. Momma just got done her typing transcribing for the university. She had 16 interviews and had over 40 hours work! She takes her timesheet into today but is picking up more transcribing to do. Mom loves to be able to type at home and work on her own computer and not have to commute and deal with "silly office politics"!! Besides that, we get a stay at home momma and in between breaks, she plays on Catster. Momma also collects some pretty special dolls by Dollmaker and Masterpiece. Her granddaughters love that! The only thing is these are not play dolls, they are very expensive heirlooms that momma wants to be able to pass down as a special beautiful inheritance, that is, if the Lord tarries. Love, The Jones clan kitties!Baby and Sweetpea and Sasha and Melah and Lady Jane, Love Muffin and Mr. Vegemite!!

Fredcat ma dear boy, Just because The USA is now your ADOPTED country of origin doesn't mean that you should celebrate its independance from Queen Lizzie the second (for who half those american people would give thier eye teeth to have her back) And lets face it at least a fifth of the british population would give them to America for free, a damn sight cheaper than America got London Bridge (not tower bridge as that is a vital part of the British make-up). I would fight for the right of Mr Fredcat naturalised American to celebrate whatever he wants and that includes Independance day, Because he is Fredcatspectaclar and wonderfurous (to take the words out of Bush's mouth) So Happy Independance Day with many fireworks shooting up in the sky, this is best viewed from indoors if at all. From DeFish of the two views (was it I who cut down the cherry tree? Nay twas that Washington chappie who is jeordie in origin isn't he?)       
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jul 5 2007  

Happy Happy Independence tDay to Fredcat the Famous, his best friend, Cathie, and Mr. B., the Grumpy One from Patsy and Callie Cat! Hope you had an exciting 4th! Love, Callie Cat (and Patsy)      
Patsy B. and Callie, Jul 5 2007  

Dear Fredcat, Mom is so upset this morning as she sent a check in a month ago to renew her Catster plus and today all the pages are gone, the fancy stuff, because they said the subcription ran out!! So, she called and left a message early and her phone number and told them the check number. Mom hopes that they can just put all her pages back because it will be way too much work to redo all of them!! We adopted a stray black kitty momma named Mr. Vegemite. She finally was able to win his trust when she put him in the carrier and took him to the vets and got him fixed. He also had infected absesses on his face that were terrible and the vet had to cut open and drain them. She gave him an antibiotic shot and also cleaned out his ear mites. The FIV test came back a light blue positive but momma is going to take care of him. She has all kinds of information about FIV and that they can only pass it if he don't wear a condom! hee-hee! He is fixed now and he is not going to bite any of us anyhow. He is very sweet and friendly. He wants to stay outside all the time and mom has been trying to get him used to staying inside. Mom is able to get him to take his antibiotics by putting it in his milk and he has been a good boy at taking it. He had the surgery on Tuesday and he looks so much better and happier because we can tell that he feels so much better with the torment of the face pain and the ear mites being gone. Lots of cats live long happy lives with FIV and mom knows people who have them living with negative tested out cat family members. They can only get it through biting deeply, another cat. Besides that, the vet said the kind that he got is not the strong controlling kind, whatever that means. Mom just feels bad for the poor kitty and wants him to at least be loved and wanted and cared for. You can check out his page if you want. Mom had the page fixed so neat and now all the catster plus stuff is gone!! mom hopes that they will replace and put it all back! She don't want to have to do it over. Mom has been transcribing for Washington university and she works at home on her computer and emails it in. She has 16 interviews to type and each one is about 3 or 4 hours long! So, she is busy working and don't want to have to put back the pages. So, poor Mr. Vegemite didn't have a skin allergy on his face, it was absesses. For everything done for him, getting fixed, having the absesses drained, antibiotic shots and medicine to bring home, ear mite removal, FIV test, mom was only charged $138 by our vet! Our vet understands mom has lots of rescued babies she takes care of and gives her a break. love, Baby and Sweetpea and Sasha and Melah and Lady Jane, Love Muffin and Mr. Vegemite!!

Awwww Fredcat, what bee-yoo-teeful pics you have in your diary! Me and my human, Patsy, are worried right now because we saw standing you in a box today - your humans aren't thinking of packing you up and mailing you off are they? Say it isn't so!!! Nooooooo!! We need you writing! Best loves, Callie Cat (and Patsy)      
Patsy B. and Callie, Jul 2 2007  

Greetings, my old friend! Sorry not to write earlier, but Mom hardly ever gives me keyboard time. I read about your v*t trips... bummer! There you are, not feeling your best, and what do they do but whisk you off to the worst possible place in the universe, thinking that will make things better. I can't imagine what twisted logic goes into that, so I don't try, but I'm sure sorry you had to endure it. I'm very relieved you're feeling better despite that nonsense! Anyway, I'm writing to congratulate you on being an Intawebs Millionaire! I'm so chuffed to have such a famous pal! We really must get together again soon for more high adventure. Things are too boring around here (at least, until dinnertime). So you hang in there, buddy, and I'll see you soon. Good thoughts and nose touches from WeezerCat

Hello Freddie! We are Baby and Sasha and Sweetpea and Lady Jane and Melah and Love Muffin. Just dropping a note to say hello and how handsome you are. We are kind of upset that our momma is taking care of this big black dude that comes over at 5 am in the morning and yowls outside her bedroom window! Love Muffin is so territorial that mom has to be careful to open the door because she wants to rush out and beat the crap out of him! He was left abandoned, and he is not fixed and has a terrible skin allergy. Mom feels sorry for him and takes care of him. Of course, she will not allow him to come inside, but, she does the best she can in taking care of him. She nicknamed him Vegemite. A black substance eaten and adored by Aussies.

Ann W. and Miss Kitty, VA US, Jun 8 2007  

Dearest Fredcat, I have to confess that I've been alarmed while reading your Famous Diary this week. You seem to be having some health problems that are not easily solved. Fredcat, please be sure to confide all your aches and pains to Mr. B and Cathie, since they always have your best interests at heart and will do everything they can to tend to your needs. Please don't try to be so fearless and proud: all of us have hurts at some times, and we need our loved ones to help us out. Think of the vet as your friend, and the vet's office as a place to regain your health. I will be anxiously awaiting a report from your wonderful humans, and am wondering how I'll get through the weekend without worrying obsessively about my Famous Friend. Please know that I will say prayers and hold all the best wishes and highest hopes for your recovery. After all, you are unique and irreplaceable. love and gentle hugs from your loving friend in L.A., Dana      
Dana and the kits, WV, Jun 8 2007  

Oh Fredcat how scary for you!!! My human Patsy told me about you being in the kitty ER and we hope your feeling better and are breathing good now. Breathe deep and drink lots of water in this Carolina heat, you ultra famous cat. Hugs, Callie cat (and Patsy)      
Patsy B. and Callie, Jun 7 2007  

Hi Fredcat! Please do take care of yourself and listen to Cathie and do as she says. We all love you and want you to stay well. We hope you are feeling much better now and are soon up to your famous antics. Much love from all of us, Littlebit, Snoopy, Skeeter, and of course Sharon

Thank goodness your site is pure and unsullied by such as the Raymond's revue types or those who bat for the opposite teams. That is not to say that they should be denied their sites, as long as they keep their hands off the Fredcat the Famous' wondrous blog and tales.

Hello, We're very glad no one was injured in the fender bender. What do we need to do to acquire a Fredcat sticker? If it isn't too strenuous or arcane, we would most certainly like to have one. It would proudly be displayed on our car. Thanks and greetings to the Mighty Orange One! Kate and Toby aka The Tower Hill Mob       
Kate with Toby, Mass US, Apr 15 2007  

Thank you, Kate, Toby and the Tower Hill Mob! My best human friend, Cathie, came out of the incident without a scratch on her - unlike her car! I was so pleased she was safe and sound.

I had to stop issuing my free bumper stickers for a little while after my offer was published on the intawebs as a "freebie" to any one who cared to email in. I'm happy to send free bumper stickers to genuine feline lovers but virtually all of over a hundred requests received in a twenty four hour period were from people who'd never read my famous Diary! (Of course, I did reply to each properly-asked-for request). Of course I'll send you a free bumper sticker - as I will anyone else who reads my Diary (see the hint at the top of this page!) All you have to do is email me with your mailing address. Best wishes from:

Hi Fredcat, I was perusing Jeter Harris's blog http://jeterharris.blogspot.com/ and he had posted a picture of a cat named Bruce who lives in Buckinghamshire, England. Bruce has facial markings that are very similar to yours and I know that you used to live in England. Could he be related to you in some way? He's not quite as handsome as you, but close.

Hi there, Buddy! Long time no talk! I know this email looks like it's coming from my mom, Susan, but she's gone to bed and it's my turn at the keyboard. Before I take my nap in it, I just wanted to commiserate on the arthritis thing. I have to take meds for mine, too, and it seems ridiculous. After all, I'm only six... have been for years... certainly way too young to have the misery in my joints. (Okay, I'm not as young as you, but still.) On the other hand, I must confess that taking that stuff really does help when I'm positioning myself at the food bowl or getting comfy in my bed. These humans and their pesky medicines are an annoyance sometimes, aren't they, my friend? But I suppose they mean well, and I guess we just have to humor them. After all, they're pretty fair company in most other ways (especially warm laps!). Gotta snooze out now. Keep the faith, Fred! Cheers from Weezer

Hi Fredcat! Just wanted to say hi and tell you how much we enjoy your site (me and my little bro, Pippin). I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. I've been out of sorts and just finished my medicine (after 4 weeks!). Glad to be feeling better. Now I can show Pip why it's good to be the big brother! Take care. Chopstix and Pippin (plus best humans Scott and Stephanie)

Dear FredCat, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Daisy and I am a Pink Pit Bull. I and my human enjoy reading about your adventures on a daily basis. My web site is: http://daisy-the-dog.blogspot.com I just wanted you to know that I added your cool site as a link on my Blog. I hope that is OK. It's just that there are not to many of us, er, animals, that actually have blogs! Do you know of any others? All the best, Daisy the Dog pinkdaisydog@gmail.com and my website

Happy New Year dear Fredcat! 2007 does seem like an interesting year to be ahead! Petey, Tally, Mia and I celebrated the evening quietly, watching the Acorn declare the new year's arrival in downtown Raleigh. The Fur Gang found the countdown (in the corner of the TV) to be more intriguing than the actual descent of the Acorn. They wanted to know how those numbers melted away so quickly, backwards at that! We humans often ponder the rapid passing of time. Wouldn't it be nice to slow it down a bit...especially on momentous occasions? Some neighbors celebrated with fireworks. The Fur Gang was curious as to the commotion, but didn't particularly care for the sporadic popping noise! It is with anticipation of an awesome year that the Fur Gang and I wish for you dear Fredcat , Cathie and Mr. B a most wonderful 2007! Congratulations on the longevity of your blog and it's popularity! We are among your greatest fans Fred! Teresa T. and The Fur Gang     
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Jan 1 2007

Dear Fredcat, Here's wishing you, Cathie, and Mr. B a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for the gift of your diary and for the Fredcat bumper sticker. One of my New Year's resolutions is to send you a picture of it in use. I shall try. In the meantime, take good care of yourself Fredcat and keep up the good work. Love, Ann and Miss Kitty      
Ann and Miss Kitty, VA, Dec 22 2006  

Dearest Fredcat, I'm writing to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I know you haven't been feeling well lately, but no doubt Cathie and Mr. B are taking good care of you, and I hope you'll cooperate with them when you need to visit the vet and take medicine. You can always complain to your adoring public through your diary later on. ;) Oh dear, the indignities you have to suffer, at times... Fredcat, I am so grateful for your presence on the Internet and your willingness to share your thoughts and experiences with us. You mean so much to me: you are not merely handsome and smart, but also informative, introspective, and intriguing. You manage your humans well, and are up-to-the-minute on the latest technology, too. And in spite of all this, you find time to send personal mail. What a guy! God Bless You, Fredcat, this Christmas and every other day too. love& hugs from your friend Dana in Los Angeles

Hello, Fredcat! Merry Christmas to you and your family! My Mum says if you check The Times online or the BBC you can get the Queen's Christmas message. She says your people probably already know that. We'll be having ham instead of the usual roast, so that will make a nice change. I'm already looking forward to it! Take care and try not to overindulge. Toby

Holiday Felicitations to our Famous Fredcat and His Dedicated Human Feline Fancying Friends, Cathie and Mr. B.! The Fur Gang (Petey, Tally and Mia) and I are wishing for you a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! This year the Fur Gang is content to be allowed only visits to the Christmas Tree as it is the parlor. With wide eyed excitement teeming, they are not to be trusted in temptation! They surely love the attention the holidays afford them though. This year they have three new feline friends that will be coming to visit over the holiday...Tabby, Pumpkin and Maggie. They anticipate a holiday filled with love. We wish the same for you Fredcat,...and some of the best morsels in your dish. We thank you for sharing your adventurous escapades and sage feline pondering in your posts.

Festive Felicitations Festooning For famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat. Well I've done my bit for the season of good will, I've been on Hope Oasis telling them of your poorliness and the necessity for the visit to the v*ts. So hopefully LOTS OF SYMPATHY will be flowing your way from thence. Indeed, to be forcibly washed in what can only be described as rose water and then sent home smelling like a She cat's handbag is not a fate to be desired. On a lighter note ask Cathie if she ever remembers the great smell of BRUT by Faberge? Well it is back on the market and in the chemists (after shave and splash on body lotion). SWell it was good enough for 'Enry so it's good enough for me, of course I save the posh stuff for official engagements (the Gucci and the Lancombe) but good ol' Brut is good enough for every day. Always remember that your fan club is still strong over here. From your ever lovin NUMBER ONE FAN Jimmydefish       
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Dec 14 2006  

Hello, Fredcat! We're so glad to see you looking well and frisky! We don't have turkey at Christmas here- we do a nice roast beef and yorkshire pudding instead. Hope you all stay well and warm through the holiday season. We're looking forward to pictures! Best wishes and holiday greetings, The Tower Hill Mob      
The Tower Hill Mob, NE US, Dec 8 2006  

Fantastic Festive Felicitations For Fantastically Festive Feline Furry Friend Fredcat! With the hope that you'll forgive using the word festive twice in my enormous alliteration (indeed I have never reached a ten before) and oh dearest one you are An absolute ten. I do hope you are preparing for the holiday celebrations and not planning on having any of Squire's descendants squatting with their devilish tricks this year. Just a word from the wise to forewarn you so that your yuletide can be truly a merry one. I somehow get these psychic messages of forewarning from over the pond. I'll email you greetings soon from your self appointed number one fan Jimmydefish XXXX       
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Dec 5 2006  

Hello, Fredcat ! Just popping in to say 'hi' to one of our favorite kitties. We are all going to have meatloaf for dinner in a little while. Toby sincerely hopes that you have an equally yummy dinner this evening. Take care. The Tower Hill Mob

Dear Mr. Fredcat, Please allow us to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. We're furry sorry we forgot, as our human Debby was having computer problems and wasn't able to access your web site for quite a while. We are glad you are doing so well for a five-year-old, and hope you have many more fifth birthdays to come. Respectfully meowed, Kitty Schottland, Lilith Kitten, and their best human friend Debby

Happy Thanksgiving to the World Famous Fredcat and his wonderful family! Enjoy your turkey and naps. Sharon      
Sharon Younts , Nov 22 2006  

Dear Fredcat, I am writing a few days early to wish you and your wonderful humans, Cathie and Mr. B, a fine Thanksgiving Day. I hope that you will be healthy enough to eat plenty of meat and anything else that tastes good to you. I know that even at your tender age, you may require medicine and more visits to the vet, but please be assured they are for your own good. Your faithful friends out here in cyberspace are most anxious that you be well. Fredcat, I want you to know that I am very thankful for your presence in my world. You have (unknowingly) kept me company many times, as I read your diary, and have comforted me when I felt frustrated at a long spell of work or impatient with other humans. There can be no more eloquent feline than you, dear furry friend, and you deserve the very best treatment. So I'm also thankful for Cathie & Mr. B, and I envy them because they get to tend to you every day. love and kisses from your friend in L.A., Dana B      
Dana B, LA, Nov 20 2006  

Hi there, Dearest Fredcat! The Fur Gang has asked me to relay their "Thanksgiving Greetings". Petey, Tally and Mia are eagerly awaiting Thanksgiving Day. As we do not know the exact date of their birth, we have set aside Thanksgiving Day every year to celebrate their birthdays. This year they will be 3 years old! They were born sometime around the last of November. We felt this day, to celebrate, quite fitting as we are very thankful for these three moggies...and all their antics. Dear Fredcat, there is much to celebrate and for which to be thankful this year. The Fur Gang is very thankful for their Favorite, Famous, Feline Friend, Fredcat and his best humans, Cathie and Mr. B. We all wish you a great holiday with all the trimmings! Bring on the turkey bits with gravy! My goodness, how The Fur Gang does groom their whiskers at the thought! Purrs and our best. Teresa T. and The Fur Gang     
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Nov 13 2006  

Hi there, Fur Gang and Teresa T! Many thanks for your email. Now that Mr. B. has finished done sorting out my website I can concentrate on replying to emails more quickly. I love it when my friends get in touch with me! The mere thought of turkey makes my mouth water. My humans can make a turkey last several days - which is good - even though I have to fight off my best human friend, Cathie, for all the best white meat. Mr. B. has to make do with the dark meat but he'll eat anything, anyway (like a lot of human males of my acquaintance!) I bet you guys will have a lot of whisker-licking to do over the next fortnight (i.e. two weeks) until it's all over. Then on to Christmas - and the same, all over again! This time of year is my favourite! Apart from spring, because of the nice weather. And summer, because my Cathie has summer holidays and can be with me all day! Best wishes and purrs right back at'cha,Fredcat the Famous       
Fredcat,  Nov 15, 2006    

Hiya Freddie, Just thought I'd mail to let you know how much I appreciate your links, as ever. I particularly liked the kitties in PC's and so on from your Wednesday page. Keep 'em coming! I have heard you have been not so well of late and that your best human friends, Mr B and Cathie, are doing their level best with the assistance of the V*T make sure your troubles are not too intrusive. Your colleague Snotty sends purrs to you and hopes the tuna and lamb chops and best beef are in good supply. Chuck a chins to you best boy. mx

Happy Hallowe'en, Fredcat! We hope your day is all treats and no tricks. Tilly and Toby      
Kate with Tilly and Toby, NE US, Oct 31 2006  

A Halloween Hello to Our Dear Fredcat! A beautiful day to have such a wonderful day; praying for good health and lots of love to you. The Fur Gang and I have been much concerned about your health as of late and revel in the good news that you are doing quite well. Trick or treat! Petey, Tally and Mia recently have taken to "treats" and do not care whether it is Halloween or not. "Treats" are "treats" according to them! They unabashedly ask for them daily. I guess that is OK....since they practice "tricking" me on a daily basis too. Oh, they do, so live the good life. We hope that any Halloween goblins who visit you, come with only friendly spirits! No costumes here, Dear Fredcat. We are what we are! Sometimes that might be thought of as scary enough. No Spooky thoughts, Dear Fredcat, just wishes for you, Cathie and Mr.B to have a very happy, healthful and safe Halloween! Teresa T. and The Fur Gang (Petey, Mia and Tally)     
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Oct 30 2006

Hello, Fredcat! You're looking much more like your handsome self! We're glad you're feeling better. Best beef (and lots of it) will help the recovery process. We look forward to having some beef and mushroom pie this weekend. Winter is coming and we must all bulk up. Best regards, The Tower Hill Mob      
Kate with Tilly and Toby, NE US, Oct 18 2006  

Darling boy, I am extremely distressed to hear you are unwell! I know the excellent Dr. B (and the meloxicam) have made you feel better, but please take it easy and take good care of yourself. You are very precious to us, your fans, dear one. I am sending strong good thoughts for your well being. Much love and many prayers, from Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Oct 16 2006

Hello, my buddy Fredcat! Mom finally got around to reading me your latest adventure today. What a great mystery story! And I was SO excited to find that I was one of the characters! (Hahaha! Cream on my whiskers, indeed! Chance would be a fine thing. The closest Mom lets me get to cream is sniffing her morning coffee. But never mind that.) What glorious fun to be included included in one of your Fredcat Tails! I am honored, my friend. I just wish I could really have been with you to celebrate your Fifth birthday. I will be having one of my many Sixth birthdays in a few months (I am always Six. Isn't it wonderful?). If I can talk Mom into having a big party, I hope you can come! Three cheers for you, Fredcat, and a touch of the nose from me, your pal, Weezer.      
Weezer and Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Oct 10 2006  

Dear Fredcat, Alley, Peanut and I all wanted to wish you a happy (belated) birthday. They are both big fans. We are very glad to see that you had a good day! Sincerely, Kelly (Alley and Peanut's human)

Dearest Fredcat, I'm wishing you all the best on your birthday: it surely is one of the most important days of the whole year! I hope this day is filled with all the things you love: savory treats, loving attention from Cathie and Mr.B, lots of fond greetings from human and animal friends, plenty of rest and a wee bit of exercise, perhaps. You are a supremely important feline, a model for your followers, and therefore you must have an appropriately excellent birthday. Please remember that your fans out here anxiously await your famous diary entries and derive great satisfaction from hearing that you are healthy and happy. And of course I wish you many more wonderful birthday celebrations! love and hugs from your friend Dana in Los Angeles

Hi Fredcat! **HAPPY BIRTHDAY** (sorry about the caps, but it seems to work on eBay...) So impressed with you, you long living 5-year-old...it never seems to amaze me the amount of effort you put into your website, especially without the benefit of opposable forefingers! Anyway, well done. so glad for you, love you millions, and I'm very sorry for any accidental poking or prodding you had to endure as a youthful cat in the UK! Love, David.      
David, England, Oct 4 2006  

Fredcat, Just wanted to let you know that I received your bumper sticker yesterday. Thanks a lot! I will take a picture of it once I stick it on my car bumper and send it to you.Thanks again, Ninel.      
Ninel K., ON Canada, Oct 3 2006  

Freddikins my darling, I do know how difficult it is to pinpoint with exactitude the exact calender date of your natal day, however, I would like to convey my felcitations on the anniversary of your birth, however approximate it is. I do believe that you are going to be five. Quite a milestone. As good manners preclude asking a lady her age, so I will refrain from enquiring as to the year of your birth. Suffice it to say that whichever year it was, we have all been blessed that it ever occurred. Best purrs and hugs and cuddles. Long may you dance your way round our hearts and intawebs. mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Oct 3 2006

Dear Fredcat, Hello, I found your website quite by accident. I find it to be truly charming. I have to admit, I am one of those “cat lover” persons. Your best friend Cathie must be a very special person and she is very lucky you found her. I have tears in my eyes as I am writing to you—I lost my beloved pet cat, Porky, two years ago this past June. She also found me at a pet adoption center in the town where I live. She was very old and lived a long life, but I still miss her very much. She was a very special cat—you would have liked her very much.

Dearest Fredcat and Family. Have you ever considered setting up a way your many worldwide fans could "chat" with one another regarding you and the many great topics and links that are provided in your beautifully written diary. Just a thought. Please be well. Love, Peaches and Petey      
Penelope and Petey, Aug 29 2006  

Hi there. Penelope! My goodness you have set me a poser and no mistake! I asked both my best human friend, Cathie, and the Grumpy One to think about this and they haven't really come up with an answer. There is a service called a "Chat Room" available but there are lots of risks associated with it. Apparently, so my peeps tell me, everything that is said (that means written) in a chat room stays there almost forever, it seems, and chat room security can be rather poor. There are stark warnings presented to users every time one logs on to a chat room. I would hate to be around if the chat room talk became "messy". This was one of the considerations we thought about when we set up the Guestbook, I recognise that the Guestbook is not interactive and the speed of loading to the internet depends upon my humans transferring comments to the Guestbook from the emails sent to me. They always, eventually, do this but they are slow sometimes if other activities get in the way. If one uses Gmail or Yahoo mail then it is possible to "chat" interactively with each other. You and I could do this if we were both online at the same time but I'm not sure how it would work with a third party who wanted to join in ... I have tried to keep the personal details of Fredcat readers away from prying eyes so that nobody can guess who they are (within reason). I don't keep "records" of those who email me and of course I have no commercial interest in anyone who does email me; I don't pass on or sell details to third parties. If you have any further thought please let me know. With very best wishes, Fredcat the Famous

Fantastic Felicitations For Favourably Furry Feline Friend Fredcat the Famous. Well you will never believe it but today has been Chadkirk Festival day and I have been watching those medieval people who call themselves the knightrs in battle. Realn funn stuff it was too! As they actually do follow the medieval lifestyle (even eating the same type of food as wot they did in the middle ages). Jolly interesting for a middle aged bloke like me Aaah to be a bold knight like wot dem Howards were (dreams of being a bold footsoldier with all that padding and chain mail, it takes a bold man or a good flight of arrows to find a chink in his armour. Alas though I have to awaken from such drerams methinks, just like your dreams of having a royal visitor, simply dreams -alas.

Hola amigos : tengo 49 años y una niña de 11. Cuando era pequeño mis padre me llevaron a ver una película que se grabó en mi mente. En ella una gatita llamada Tomasina me hizo reir y llorar. Hoy deseo poder mostrársela a mi hija pero sólo recuerdo el nombre de TOMASINA. En la búsqueda en la web encontré la nota de Jimmy De Fish donde la menciona. Les agradecería mucho me enviaran algun dato adicional sobre la película, título original, año, etc. Muchas gracias y un caluroso abrazo.Rubén.

Dearest Fredcat, I haven't written in so long-- please forgive me. I've been busy at work and actually took a couple of little vacations (I think you call them "holidays"). I hope that things in your household are to your liking. And naturally I wish you, Cathie, and Mr. B the best of health. I am so honored when you use my name (!) in your diary. I am merely your humble fan, so it's a thrill when I see my name used close to yours. I will keep trying to send you interesting articles, in fact, I have one today and here's the link: . It's about the resident cat at the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, and how his secretary manages his emails. Fredcat, do you think you'd like to live in a fancy hotel? It would mean being petted by a lot of strangers, but you would probably share in the delicacies prepared by the hotel chef! Oh well, you are best off in the loving arms of Cathie (and even the grumpy Mr. B, your scribe). Do take care, Perfect One, and perhaps be glad that the World Cup is over?! love & (friendly) head-butts, Dana      
Dana B, LA, Jul 10 2006  

Hello, Fredcat, You should be grateful that your humans are not Red Sox fans. 19 innings after the World Cup is just plain nuts. Sincerely, Toby, Tilly and Inky.

Fantastically Festive Felicitations Fantasmagorically Famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat the Famous. Well pop mi corks I think that I have surpassed myself with the old alliteration there, I make it Nine Fs in an unbroken sequence just for a special top mark greeting for the Honary American State Feline (awaiting election) on the most inportant day to all naturalised felines in the United States. What there is only one in living memory? Who is that? Need I ask, its Fredcat the Famous! Hip Hip Hooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Freeeeeeeehd-Caaaaa-ert! Hoorah!-Hoorah!-Hoorah-Hoorah-Hoorah! (Those last three hoorahs are said in quicker successiion) yeyes a special greeting from the sultry old cold country. I think that even you would find the present climate somewhat preferable to the one you escaped all those years ago. From your Mate Jimmydefish XXX      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jul 4 2006  

Darling Fredcat, I think you might be being a wee bit unfair about this Father's Day thing. You may not have a relationship with your own father, and you may not have any kits of your own (both true of many animals, fur and human alike), but you DO have someone near who fills the role of... almost... very nearly... dare I say it? a Dad. Perhaps you might consider returning that chuck-a-chin, eh? All my best wishes, as always, Suze      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Jun 20 2006  

Favourable Felicitations Favourite Furry Feline Friend Fredcathefamous, A super thought just thinked its way into my head why don't you adopt your offspring and as this is adopt a shelterd feline month you could conbine this with an opportunity to get a little (-nay a lot) of unpaid publicity. Can you only inagine it Fredcat the Famous MI5/CIA agent doing his No one compassionate act of the milenium adopting his family. Just a thought my dear Ginga and White pal.

Tilly and Toby, NE US, Jun 19 2006  

I am so happy! Lots and lots of kind felines and their best human friends have written nice things to me. I am now purrectly content and I'll continue to do my best to keep my blog going. Some of you sent very colourful messages in all sorts of amusing fonts but I'm afraid that when Mr. B. got hold of them they all just sort of went a plain old black colour. I'm very sorry about that, but what can a famous feline do? One just can't get the staff, you know. I also note that some of the emails I sent to y'all around my triennium "bounced back". My best human friend, Cathie tells me that humans change their email addresses frequently, and I fear that some of my faithful readers didn't receive my personal message. It wasn't intentional, my friends! See you all soon. Fredcat the Famous       
Fredcat  Jun 20, 2006    

Hello Fredcat, Many congratulations on your 3 yr anniversary for your diary!!!! I miss having entries every day but I know a 'famous' cat like you needs time to take care of other things. I have had a stroke since our adventure 'Wedding Bells'. I recovered completely except have a 'sexy' (can I say that?) little turn of my head to the right. It took me awhile to get back to some of the usual things of the day but am glad to be back. Again, congrats on your 3rd anniversary!! Your friend, Sox (& Mom, Sue)

Your musings have kept us engaged, enthralled and highly entertained... and to think you did it ALL yourself, with only the help of two staunch humans to assist with the mundane details! You are truly a magnificent cat, darling boy. May your unique reign long continue! Much love from your devoted friend, Suze

Amber, Jun 6 2006  

Send them outside for a very long walk in the park, cut down on sweet goodies, or buy earmuffs. Best of all - sit them down in front of the computer to read my soothing webblog!       
Fredcat  Jun 19, 2006    

Freddie, dearest boy, Just had to drop you a line to let you know how much I enjoyed your links of 31st May and 2nd June. Very well done indeed, you clever boy you. I particularly enjoyed those of the 31st May. Though the hug cat images of the 2nd were extremely fetching I thought. I applaud your generosity of spirit in allowing other cute cats to share you space. Many thanks for the images and links. mxx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Jun 4 2006  

Wow Fredcat your awesome! Me and Angela took a short nap today and guess what?! No nightmares and I was as silent as a mouse! ( please pardon my language!).Thank you so much!!That bumper sticker sounds cool! Can you tell your human-friend to send my human-friend images of what it looks like? How much will it cost my human-friend? We are saving up for a BUUUUUUUUtifal collar!! Oh, I'm going to read your website now,bye! from, Amber! ( :

Hi Fredcat, I have 2 cats, I e-mailed you telling you I had a cat like you but here are pictures of both - (see the photographs link!)      
Ashley, Jun 1 2006  

Hello the famous Fredcat! My name is Amber (also a fellow cat!) I think you are great! I try to tell all my friends about your websites but they can't write! In fact my best friend Angela is typing this for me, we hangout all the time! But I think I'm getting her angry...because I always love to sleep on her bed at night with her.That's not the problem though, it's my nightmares! (and my snoring!) But what can I do Mr.Fredcat?Angela is very nice and has to wake up to make sure I'm ok, I'm sure she's tired! Please help Fredcat!!!      
Amber, May 31 2006  

Hi there, Amber! Thank you for dictating your message to me! I fully understand about writing. When Mr. B. was young (aeons ago) everyone wrote on paper but it's a lot easier now that there's computers - but even writing that way is proving to be too hard a task for some younger folk. So, of course, we felines lose out because of sloth. Ah, well. I don't think your best human friend Angela need worry too much. If she loves you dearly she will put up with the occasional snore or two from a truly great feline. If you're having nightmares then I suggest ejecting all bad thoughts from your mind before you go to bed - and then follow that up by reading a page or two from my famous diary. That will surely put your mind into "Tai Chi" (?) or some similar meditation thingie. It works for me! And tell Angela not to watch horror movies in bed late at night. When I go to bed I go to sleep (!) for hours and hours and hours and hours .... on end If all else fails, ask Angela to ask me to send her a Fredcat bumper sticker. They're great for sleeping on - or for sticking on one's vee-hickle. That has to help! Best wishes, Fredcat the Famous

And still only five years old what fun it will be when you reach your dotage and have Cathie (the Boss) and Mr B (the Butler) to care for your every needs. In the meantime HOOOOORRRRRAAAAAYYYYY!

NEW YORK -- It's on to the next caper for Fred, the crime-fighting cat. The feline, part of an undercover sting in February to get a man pretending to be a veterinarian, is in the process of being certified as a therapy cat, according to his owner, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Carol Moran.Dana      
Dana B, LA, May 13 2006  

I enjoyed your Election Day diary entry very much, my dear. I am glad that Mr. B and our Cathie are not so swept up in their new allegiance that they have lost their critical regard for the machinations of politicians everywhere. But I especially liked the article on grammar and birds, because of the way it exposed the absurdity of much of human scientific thought. This from the article: "What the experiment shows is that language and animal cognition is a lot more complicated than scientists once thought [duh, says I] and that there is no "single magic bullet" that separates man from beast" Silly scientists! If man is not an beast.. er, animal, what do you suppose they think he is? Personally, I think the thing that separates man from the other animals is the notion of the bullet. (This is not a compliment.) Ah, Fredcat, if only we could all be cats! It would be such a better world! But wait. Who, then, would open a tin of our best tuna when we are feeling a bit peckish? *sigh* I suppose we will have to muddle through as best we can with the way things are. Much love from your friend, Suze

Festooning Favourable Felicitations Famous Furry Fredcat Friend, Cathie is playing my song (The favourite hand me another black plastic bag I've got to clear my wardrobe out! ) Alas I do not sing that song frequently enough and my wardrobe overflows frequently. I HATE THROWING OUT OLD CLOTHES but I just luuuurve buying noo ones. I know I need a new suit of clothes but I have to throw out the much loved garments and I don't like it! I have a double wardrobe full of stuff for OXFAM but I can't let go of it until it is almost ready to shake off it's coil. Nice to notyice that you've stopped tormenting those geckos, following my advicwe will pay dividends in the future mark my words. Love and Peace be upon you, From Jimmydefish

I just found your diary page and found it very interesting reading. My name is Fat Eric ,I am a British blogging kitty living in London. You seem to have had a very exciting life. I see that you were also British-born but have emigrated. I wondered if you would like to feature on our page for blogging ginger cats, The Gorgeous Gingers ? As you will see if you visit it, it features many handsome ginger kitties and you would surely be an asset to our group. Best wishes Fat Eric.

Favourable Felicitations Fantastically Fiendish Furry Feline Friend Fredcat. Why do I call you a fiend? Isn't that rather obvious after your last posting? Beating a poor innocent within an inch of his life is not a thing to be bragging about. What would happen if the Fredcat residence was overrun by insects? That poor innocent geko you gave a good pasting would be needed then wouldn't he? So leave him/it well alone in case it wreaks the geko's revenge. Yours feling trather worried, Jimmydefish

Dear Fredcat,I'm glad you're safe at home, because I read a story about another brave kitty who is not so fortunate: I'm a little concerned that your humans have to bring your food upstairs.Are you feeling alright? Please know that I wish you a Happy Easter, and hope you share in any special dinners or treats that appear on Sunday.love, Dana

Felicitations famous furry felineFredcat Friend. I just had to write to you to say that I realy admire your bravery having your ears done at the v*ts. I had to have one of my ears syringed at the local health centre and boy was it bad. A syringe of warm water shot into my ear, realy nasty. I shall go no further in my description as it makes me find quite ill, in fact I think that I shall go for a lie down in a darkend place. Love and Peace Jimmydefish

Dear boy, nothing would please me more than you and Mr. B having... what shall I say? ... a rapprochement. You, the males of the household, united in your adoration of our beloved Cathie, should be as one. Or at least a little kinder to each other, eh? Do I see the beginnings of such a thing? I believe I do. Much love from Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Apr 9 2006  

Dearest Fredcat, I share your frustration. Spring has sprung, and every year it's the same. At the very moment I want to fling wide the doors and windows, the YELLOW HARVEST descends upon us and I must shut up the house, lest we all be buried in soft golden mounds of pine pollen, sneezing our heads off. Ah, the joys of North Carolina living! :O Your neighbor and devoted friend, Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Apr 5 2006  

Good morning, Mr. Fredcat! Our human, Debby, would like to know how long it took you, Cathie, and Mr. B. to become citizens of the U.S. We also thank you for the y'alls, although our human Debby prefers to say "youse," the New Jersey/New York equivalent to the plural "you." She also describes herself not as a "Floridian," but as a transplant from the northeast. She holds the northeastern United States very close to her heart, the same way we're sure you, Cathie, and Mr. B. hold the U.K. very near and dear to your own hearts.We look forward to reading about your voter registration process in your web long. Respectfully meowed, Kitty Schottland, Lilith Kitten, & Cousin Roscoe P. Catrane

Dear Handsome Fredcat, Thank you for writing back to me--it's always a joy to hear from you! I'm glad you don't mind when I send you the occasional cat story. I always look for cat news when I'm online, and after all, I know that you, an extremely smart feline, like to keep informed but are too busy to read absolutely everything. I think you and your humans made a wise decision to publish a 3-day-a-week diary: it just increases the anticipation for us, your fans in cyberspace. And I am so pleased that your Cathie is on a better course of treatment for her health problem: she is such a delightful and caring person, we all want her to be hale and hearty. Kudos to Mr. B too, for his part in taking care of both you and Cathie. I think that the reciprocal cat-human relationship is marvelous: what would we do without each other? Have a great weekend and be well, dear Fredcat! love & hugs, Dana

Fantastic Felicitations For Famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, Aliterations pouring off the page. I see my sending you the information about agent Humphrey landed upon fertile ground. I thought that anyone related to the famous Tony booth of Till Death Us Do Part Fame (Who was so affectionately called an Idle Scouse Git by Alf Garnett). It is quite curious but tony and Warren never got on in real life either suprisingly enough Tony became the Father of the Blair Witch. I mean no malice as I am a true socialist, I vote S.D.P. Also note that it was her that did it to Humphrey! It was she that got him shifted from the luxury of No 10 to a sparse living oe the military type (up at six and two hours parade before breakfast, Yessarr! From the life of a cosseted cat to being a regular squaddie, poor lamb! Just remember my hearts for Humphrey deceased mouser of Downing street.

Felicitations Famous Feline Furry Friend Fredcat. Upon reading the news that your daily blog is to be cut I felt I almost cheated. What no daily gathering of the local goss of the Fredcat household? Shame be on Mr B, cutting your postings in half removes the 'daily'ness of your work of literary genius. The ravens will be leaving the tower next. I realy enjoy reading your daily blog please please PLEASE keep it daily (like The Times only more fun!) I sincerely hope that yourself and the angry Mr B recommence this daily blog. You know it makes sense. Love and Peace jimmydefish

am so sorry you are sneezing again! But I can't say I'm very surprised. My WeezerCat has begun her annual Spring congestion, Daisy the WonderBeagle has commenced her Spring wheezing fits, and I myself have been wondering if my sinuses will ever be clear again. But the daffodils are out, the trees are clouds of pink and white, and the bushes are a golden froth of blooms. Surely Spring here in North Carolina is worth it! At least... isn't it? Please tell me it is! ;) Love from (aaaachooooo! shniff) your Susan

But please don't feel that you have to give up your British spelling and "different" words. We Americans know that the U.K. is our best friend in the whole world; and after all, that was your birthplace. There is only one Famous Fredcat, so you must be attentive to your British subjects, er...fans, too! love and hugs, Dana

Hmmmm. It seems from your Diary entry today that someone, at least, knows the truth that you got a Valentine from a d*g. I swear I didn't tell! Maybe no one will notice. Heck, poor silly Daisy herself barely notices she's a d*g. She thinks of herself as a Fredcat Fan, first and foremost, you know. Well, we'll say no more about it. Daisy is happy that she sent her hero a Valentine, and has no idea of the controversy. And you, of course are grand enough to live anything down, even this! Good heavens, my dear, it's not as though you shot anyone! (Oh, my, did I really say that? ) Much love and continued good wishes to you and your peoples, Dear Boy. Your friend, Susan

I'm wringing my hands a bit here, Darling Boy, about our Cathie. My strong prayers are going out for her speedy return to the Fredcat Household, safe and sound. (Safe I know she will be; sound is much the subject of my prayers.) Much love to you all,      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Feb 8 2006  

I'm sorry to hear that Cathie is ailing again. I know you miss her. I hope she is home soon. Being able to snuggle with you and hear you purr is almost a good a treatment as anything doctors can do for her. And you need chuck-a-chins from her.      
Phyllis P. Chapel hill, NC, Feb 8 2006  

My Dearest Star, Sorry I didn't write sooner, but I was waiting for the Oscar nominations to come out, now that your clever humans have overcome the technical difficulties with your films. Yet I was stunned not to see your name among the nominations! Not only have you made five excellent films, but Number 4, which showcases an understated yet compelling performance by The Famous One, on top of edgy and brilliant camera work, should surely have been at the top of the categories! I can only conclude that Hollywood is intimidated by your powerful presence. Perhaps the the indie route is best for one such as you. I'll see if I can get Robert Redford on the phone, shall I? In the meantime, please keep filming! Your biggest fan, Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Jan 31 2006  

Fredeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just been looking at all your videos in one sitting. Now that they are running at the correct speed they look impossibly better. If that could be ever imagined! Sweetie pie, how fabulous you are. Now then, if I were you, I’d give serious consideration to giving houseroom to another feline. The advantages are many. Someone else to blame for all ‘mishaps’. Because of course you could never be responsible for any naughtiness, now could you? Someone to teach all your skills too. Which would take a long time as you have so many. Someone to collude with to make Mr B’s life even busier. He could do with the exercise as sitting down watching sport on the TV all day is not a good idea and he needs some help. There would be more food around. You would have someone to talk to when your humans are engaged on making your life bearable, such as shopping for you and cooking and cleaning for you. You would have help with all the more mundane chores, such as pleasing your humans. They do need the odd tit bit from time to time and you have more important things to do, such as sleep. Growing five year old cats need their kip you know. Also, you would always get the praise for the good things, because a mere whippersnapper kitten could never be as accomplished as you. Leading me on to this, no one could be as good as you and you would look even better than you do now. Oh, Freddy, I do hope you decide on further feline support. Tigger, Snotty and Ginger send their love and hope you do too. mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Jan 29 2006  

Freddie darling, dearest, sweetheart!! I trust this is luvvie enough for you my precious. I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos and hope to see many more of them. It made my heart glad to see you in your surrounds and I also enjoyed the pussy chasing bubbles. Of course, you are above such kittenish things being five, but it was amusing nevertheless. Well done to Mr B for making this possible and to Cathie for the captions. mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Jan 14 2006  

Dear Fredcat, Here's another smart ginger tabby (mentioned in Fredcat's diary). Not in your league, of course, but bright enough to hold up the reputation of ginger tabbies everywhere. ;)I love your new videos--can't get enough of them! Do take care and have a nice weekend. love, Danaa      
Dana B, LA, Jan 27 2006  

Favourable Felicitations, Fantasmagorical, Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, I see you have enterd the hall of the Famous Felines, Felix, Tom, Sylvester, Tomasina (Disney), O'malley to name but a few. Note that the latter two were gingas like you -oooh the list is endless and you my dear one must include yourself amongst them. The walk of Fame will be next (I'm sure Mr B will be able to lay some concrete somewhere where you can leave your famous imprint). Hooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaayyyyyy! for Fredcat filmstar extra -ordinaire hip hip Hoooooray! Love, Peace, Fame, and Fun be yours my friend , From Jimmydefish XXX       
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jan 24 2006  

Darling boy, today may be the gloomiest day of the year according to the pundits, but to me it is a Very Happy Day! Not only have I seen, not one, but two intaweb videos of The Famous One, but I find that our Cathie is well enough to return to work full time! Well, yes, I concede that this is a mixed blessing for the men in her life, and even, perhaps, for herself, but it must also mean that she is well and strong again, and that is worth everything! Congratulations to the Fredcat household! (And if Mr. B can remove the Chaplin-like quickness from your films, dear boy, I am sure we will see you at Cannes!) Love as always from Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Jan 23 2006  

Fredcat! Your video debut is marvelous! Me and the Fur Gang especially love the one in which you leave your perch and come right up to the camera to greet your viewers. It was as if you were on the red carpet at the Golden Globes! Petey, Tally and Mia are very proud of you and the manner in which you represent the felines of N.C.in your position of Unofficial State Feline. Keep up the marvelous work. Teresa Talley, and the Fur Gang of Sanford, N.C.      
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Jan 23 2006  

Today's diary intimates that our dear Cathie is on the mend, and I am SO glad to hear it. Remember what I said about taking good care of her, O furry one! Cathie is a rare gem and, for now at least, quite delicate. So snuggle gently and give her your best purrs! (As I know you will.) Keeping you all in my heart and prayers, Susan       
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Jan 17 2006  

Fantasmagoricly Favourable Felicitations Famous furry Feline Fredcat, superlative greetings to you my favourite friend. What wonderous links were in your daily diary today, I particularily enjoyed watching the tree rats being nurtured by some woman (she'll live to regret it as tame squirrels are very nasty once returned to the wild) and wouldn't you become nasty after living in virtual luxury being thrust out into the wild. think of that rapscallion Squire, I bet he was originally raised by the humans. I expect that is why he was so used to easy living! So be warned that squirrels are not pets, they do not adapt to captive life easily. Love and Peace Jimmydefish      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jan 16 2006  

Dearest Freddie As the faithful scribe of the intrepid secret agent, whose street name is Tigger, I have been asked to convey her gratitude at the most felicitous mention on your diary page. This miserable scribe has been suitably chastised by her mistress for her silliness and indeed, has been placed under close supervision by Tigger as she types this missive. Tigger is ensconsed on the computer chair with me overseeing every finger click. I have been ordered to stay within the eyeline of Mistress Tigger, even having to accompany her whilst she is attending to her ablutions. Such is the punishment exacted for doubting her loved mistress's return. Tigger asked me to say that she sends purrs and miaows of the most cordial nature to the world's most famous cat and that she has seen and approved of the google decoration of his name. Only to be expected really. best kisses and purrs mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Jan 14 2006  

Dear Sweet Fredcat, Thank you so much for corresponding with me. What occurred to me when I saw the "Cat Evolution" article was that I knew of the most highly evolved cat ever: your wonderful self, Fredcat! And you are generous enough to share your wisdom and humor with your fans, too. All those eras of migrating cats have produced many awe-inspiring felines, small and large, but none could best you.

I'm troubled to hear of your Cathie's fall, just as I was when I read that she'd had to go to the hospital before Christmas for another ailment. I do hope you and Mr. B are running the household for the time being, so that she doesn't exert herself unnecessarily. By the way, you are looking particularly marvelous in your photos these days. Do you grow an extra layer of ginger fur when the weather is chilly? Dare I say it? I would love to pet you. I've heard you refer to Mr. B's "chuck-a-chins": if there's a particular technique to them, then we, your fans, would like to be instructed in it. Please stay well and convey my best wishes to Cathie. love, Dana      
Dana B, LA, Jan 13 2006  

How cute!!! we are cat people galore. my kids will love the pics of your cat!!       
Mary S., Weslaco, TX, Jan 12 2006  

Favourable Fellicitations Famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, I was so suprised seeing that the google organisation has honoured you so by giving you your own search-engine. What a star you are! Alas poor me (woe is me) I'm still suffering tfrom the after effects of having a darned viral infection (snotty nose and sensitive feeling all round my body) That is what happens when one has spent New Year in a house with three young kiddies like I did. Ah well at least there was a housefull of revellers (eight I think) to let the New Year in and the two babies conveniantly woke up before the chimes and so then there were ten (strong stuff that milk) -stick to water. Hope to be in a better mood when I next email you. Love and Peace Jimmydefish. XX .      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jan 10 2006  

My dearest Fangtasmagoric Famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, After reading your diary entry dated 4th Jan I have realised that Mr B is just a cat domicile speculator. These are the worst kind when one realizes that they are not interested in making said cat (that's you that is) happy in the long term when all they see is not a contented puss but dollar bills. So said speculator (that's Mr B that is) is realy a money grabbing oportunist who plays on the comfort of contented cats (like what you is). In my opinion such as would do this to you should look to his own abode before Cathie gets wind of his heartless gestures. Making a packet indeed! Happen this certain party should look to his own home comforts before Cathie sells them on ebay. I wonder what luxury Cathie shall start with....      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Jan 4 2006  

Hey, Fredcat - a New Year's message from you! That's great - and happy new year back to you, I hope you have an exciting 2006! Love from me and Callie cat to you and the Grumpy One and Cathie, and here's a pix of Callie on her climbing house. Happy New Year's! Patsy (and Callie Cat)

Hello Fredcat !! Sox here, I still read your diary every day. That is if I can get on the computer, those humans take up so much time on it. Just wanted to wish you, Cathy, & Mr. B a Merry Christmas !!! Sometimes the paper is the best part of a gift!!! Sox ~~~

My dear most Fantastic Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, when I was informed of the stolen penguin I answered that it is not too bad as at least there are five more in the pack (I'm sure Cathie will remember the ppppp-pick up a penguin advertising campaign of that world famous dunkable chocolate covered bourbon cream). Do they sell this excellent biscuit in the jolly old U S of A?      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Dec 20 2005  

MERRY CHRISTMAS to the most Famous Fredcat and his Humans! Me and "The Fur Gang" hope all your Christmas Wishes come true! Petey, Tally and Mia are in sensory overload. Enough of the decorating already, they declared! Mia's favorite places to hide pilfered "stuff" are exhausted. Wrapped boxes know no mercy! They are the targets of crazy games of hide-and-seek, pounce-and-destroy. They have even tried a couple of candy canes...never mind the cellophane wrappers or the peppermint flavor. They don't have the finesse and manners that you have dear Fredcat. Alas, they are only two years old. We wish for you, Cathie and Mr. B. a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous 2006 New Year! Teresa Talley and "The Fur Gang"      
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Dec 20 2005  

Dear Fredcat, Merry Christmas to Fredcat and his family. Our not-so-bright "parents" do not know we are posting this, but they are big fans of the Famous One. We too are hoping for heaping bowls of goodies on Christmas Day, our favourite being roast turkey with all the trimmings. For some reason we have to take a long nap afterwards, ususally in laps of our "parent's", who are unable to move for several hours after dinner.      
Gracie & Hannah, Cary, NC,Dec 17 2005  

Congratulations on 700 intriguing, enlightening and infinitely entertaining entries in your Most Famous Diary, my dear Fredcat. You "make my day" every day! A Very Merry Christmas to you and yours. Much love from your friend, Susan      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC,Dec 15 2005  

Happy Friday to you and the Grumpy One and your best human friend Cathie! I hoped you're having a great day! You're going in the Olympics? Polevaulting! You are a VERY talented boy! I asked Patsy to send you a picture of me in our yard and I said to her to tell you that it's be great if you want to put this in the pix of your friends on your website. I hope you get it OK! Love,       
Callie, Myrtle Beach, SC, Oct 21 2005  

Hello Fredcat, Cathie and Mr B, I follow your day to day experiences, it all seems to be so calm and relaxed! This is Brenda from England and I shall keep viewing. Regards,       
Brenda, Oct 19 2005  

Dear Fredcat, I've enjoyed catching up with your diary, and appreciate all the worthy articles and websites cited there. I think of you very often, and wonder how you feel about things going on in the world. For instance, I saw a photo today of a d*g at Yahoo.com today (http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051018/od_afp/britainanimaloffbeat_ 051018132642;_ylt=AsitDj9XgReGfqpdig2oHQAFO7gF;_ylu=X3oDM TA5bGVna3NhBHNlYwNzc3JlbA) that was truly alarming. It was in the context of luxuries that humans buy to pamper their non-human companions, but honestly, I don't see the value of this particular product. Surely a cat would not allow this to happen! Anyway, I thought I'd call it to your attention. Please do take care, as the weather is getting colder. I will try to write again soon. love & hugs, from,       
Dana, Oct 10 2005  

Hey there Freddykins!! How do you like the cooler weather and rainy days? Kinda gets the old fur wet, doesn't it. Hey kiddo, I forgot to wish the famous one a Happy birthday earlier last week...bad me! Hope best human friend Cathie was able to give you a great day with lots of good gifties...maybe an edible treat or two? I tend to forget my b-days...don't like to add up the years ya know? You don't look any older...so what's your secret? Kitty be lovely, or some other youthful potion? Do tell, I have my fine tail to look after and would appreciate any ideas on keeping young. Again best wishes, Love,       
Charlie (real name Charlotte), Raleigh, NC, Oct 10 2005  

Belated Happy Birthday to the Great and Famous Fredcat! We are so sorry to have missed the momentous occasion. Dear Fredcat, have many more birthdays!      
Teresa T, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Oct 10 2005  

Hiya you birthday boy you. I don't count this as a belated wish, as in the country I come from, birthdays always last for three days. So by my reckoning, you should still be celebrating. I am gratified to see that the Canadians have recognised your famosity and granted you citizenship. No more than you deserve. I detect a distant flavour in your mewsings of late, and must say, I find they add an extra dimension. I would be extra kind to Mr. B. if I were thee, as the imminent closure of the Terry's Chocolate Factory is a great blow to us all. Particularly those of us who are partial to a chocolate orange or three. You never know, if he is too distraught, he may not remember to feed you! Beware birthday boy but congratulations on embarking on your 16, ahem, 6th year as the planet's most famous feline. Well done you. Best loves and chuck-a-chins from m and gangxx      
Marg and Gang, Liverpool, England, Oct 6 2005  

A Happy Day to Famous furry feline friend Fredcat. I hope Cathie passed on the birthday greetings I sent you (in fact I'm sure she has) Many chuck-a-chins from me JimmyDeFish. Plus a post birthday hip hip hooray. For the smartest feline friend Fredcat. Hoooray! from your friend Jimmydefish.      
JimmyDeFish, Stockport, England, Oct 5 2005  

Callie has sent you an internet birthday card Fredcat the Famous - I hope you get it OK! This is a little e-mail for you to have a great happy birthday with lots of cake and happy songs. Love from Patsy and Callie cat.

Happy Birthday Fredcat! From, David and Susan Hamrick and the Timeheart Havana's      
David and Susan H, Oct 4 2005  

Dearest Fredcat, I wish you a Happy, Happy Birthday with all my heart, and thank you for setting such a good example for cats (and their best human friends) everywhere. I hope you have the best possible birthday --because you richly deserve it -- and remember that you are much loved and respected for your intelligence, wit, and discriminating tastes, as well as your handling of cat-to-human relationships, which can be trying, after all. I don't have your home address, so a virtual greeting will have to do; also, the following family cats (Gizmo from California, Buttercup from Hawaii, Grayzie from Hawaii, and Brigsy from Florida), pictured below, send you their admiring felicitations. They cannot hope to achieve the stature in life that you have accomplished, but they appreciate your inspiring, world-famous presence.
Please stay healthy and have many more birthdays!Love & hugs, Dana
P.S. I am also enclosing an article from the New York Times about the interesting Moscow Cat Circus performing there: please forgive me if you've already heard of it from our mutual friend, Susan L, or others.      
Dana, Oct 4 2005  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAREST FREDCAT!!!!!      
Susan Lackey, Carrboro, NC, Oct 3 2005  

Hiya Fredcat! I found your webpage when looking for stuff on my computer and it's great! I have to go now because I have lots to do but I'll be back to read more of your diaries soon.      
Patsy (and Callie cat), Myrtle Beach, SC, Oct 2 2005  

Hey Freddy, I just finished reading your newest entries...have you been doing some independent computor studies? You seem to be in tip top shape the past two days. Tell Cathie (best human friend) that her translations of your mewsings (cute word) are most entertaining. Sorry about your frozen computor but I'm glad to hear you understood the word "frozen" in context, not with food, but some computor deal. Maybe you could tell me about it so I can thaw mine out if it happens to me. Love,       
Charlie, Raleigh, NC, Sep 29 2005  

Dearest Fredcat, what good news today on your test results! Petey, Mia, Tally and I have been concerned about our Famous One. We do so enjoy your daily blogs. The furbabies' human sister really enjoyed the "Norman's Peanut Gallery" link. She is a "squirrel nut"...after her feline loves of course. You are quite the hero rescuing the rabbit! Keep up your good health and continue doing the things you do so Famously! Our best wishes to you,      
Teresa Talley, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Sep 17 2005  

Dearest Freddikins, I have followed your progress over recent days with concern and avidly await the results of your latests blood tests. I am really pleased that you are restored to your frisky self. Regarding weightier matters, just be patient with the humans, they really do have your interest at heart so be patient with the resultant irritations darling boy. Even if it does result in what appear to be thin rations. I hope your tummy works are improved and you do not find yourself embarrassed by inappropriate eliminations.
Michael and I miss you a lot, especially as we are quite sad as your good friend Snowy has moved on to the great cat heaven in the sky. I am sure he is looking down benignly on us all and is making friends with others of your past acquaintance. best loves dear boy. mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Sep 15 2005  

Fellicitations Famous Furry Feline Friend Fredcat, Why you worrying about your place in the scheme of things? The only thing that you need to know is that you is, and then you isn't. Of course I could put it simpler by saying that to some people your feelings are the most important things and TO OTHERS YOU ARE NOT. Personally I fit into the former of the two, I also think that Mr B. is trying to fit into that cat/agory too even though he misses administering the dreaded goo. I leave you with this thought though, I recon that you and your great fame place you second from top (Cathie top) Over Mr B. -you win by miles. So don't look at the whole picture, look at your own domain and it is not so bad. Love and Peace be upon you my little pal. Greetings from Jimmydefish XXX       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Sep 14 2005  

Well done you, to rescue that poor little floating bunny! We could do with more heros like you down South aways. (Although, heros there are down there, doing the best they can for the furry lot.)       
Susan L. Carrboro, NC, Sep 12 2005  

Dear Fredcat - It was with great joy that I read that your blood tests came back with good news. Yay! You still have to have the goo though, but what is a little medicine when it's helping to keep you in the pink.Here's hoping that you stay healthy and feeling like the 5 year old that you really are. Hugs to everyone in your household.As always,       
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, Aug 18 2005  

Dear friends of Fredcat the Famous: Most kittens come into the shelter as either abandoned or part of a litter the owner has been unable to rehome. I am so glad to hear of one of our cats being in such a good caring home, I wish there were many more such homes. I now also have a shelter in North Wales with around 70 cats looking for homes and 30 of those are kittens.It is so hard to find good homes. Best wishes,       
Lesley, North Wales, Aug 10 2005  

Dear Fredcat, So sorry to hear you are sneezing again, but have to admit I enjoy the "shaking" screen. Your best human friend, Cathie, is taking very good care of you by taking you to the vet, even though you complain a little. Your vets office really should have a photo of you on their "home page"! Your link to "soccer cat" yesterday was halarious. He is some cat!! I do appreciate you going to the trouble of adding the links. Very entertaining!!      
Wanda, Colton, OR, Aug 6 2005  

Congratulations, darling Fredcat, on your 5 Year Anniversary in the United States. The day you arrived was a Banner Day for the USA!      
Susan L. Carrboro, NC, Aug 3 2005  

Hey Fredcat, I had to write & thank you for the smile still on my face. Your link to "little tune" was the cutest thing ever. I listened to it twice & will definitely go back & play it again. Thanks for adding it to your diary!      
Wanda, Colton, OR, Jul 6 2005  

I loved your song. Of course it should be played at full volume, whenever and wherever you desire gorgeous boy. Take care and make sure you drink up all your medication      
Margaret, Liverpool, Jul 6 2005  

Dear Mr. Fredcat, Pardon our lateness in responding, but do allow us to con-cat-ulate you on the second anni-fur-sary of your Diary. Debby, our human, finds it a most enjoyable read, and makes a habit of saving your photographs on her computer so she can make a screensaver out of them (using the My Pictures Slideshow in Windows XP). Respectfully meowed, Kitty Schottland (Age 15), Capt. Midnight (Age 11 1/2), Lilith Kitten (Age 4 1/2), and our human Debby (Age xx!)      
Debby, Boca Raton, FL, Jul 4 2005  

A two year old website for the fantastic five year old feline Fredcat. I know it is very unprecedented of me to have two guestbook enteries so close but that makes me think, how long have I been following your blog? Even though it seems to be only five minutes it must be at least eighteen months, and every moment has been worthwhile, I'm so glad I was directed to your site by feline psychic direction. (There must be some link between us two somehow). Anyhow heres a few hip hips to be HOORAYED! From your best of mates jimmydefish      
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Jun 17 2005  

Congratulations on your 2-year anniversary, beautiful boy!      
Susan L. Carrboro, NC, Jun 14 2005  

This is the Twelth entery of mine in your guest book. Hooray for Fredcat! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Long may his hip be hip hipped {Hooray) Indeed long may I be able to hip hip his hip hips. For he is the most marvelous, most wonderful, most magical Ginger and white cat in the known world nay universe. so to all the Fredcat crew Hooray! (See I'm only fort...er five too!} Love and Peace and good health from JimmyDeFish       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Jun 8 2005  

Dear Fredcat - I've been reading that you're still taking the goo, but getting oodles of cuddles at the same time. I've also read that you're starting to feel better and the goo is working. Better health AND extra cuddles. I think it's a fair trade for a bit of goo every now and then. Continued improvement, little one. With love from your devoted fan,      
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, Jun 7 2005  

Well Fredcat..I guess you know how to get Mr B worried now! Lots of sneezing! I do enjoy the shaking screen, but wish you could stop the sneezing. You might mention to your best human friend Cathie & Mr B that perhaps it is something in your food that you have become allergic too. Maybe a complete change for a few weeks to see if there is any improvement. Just a thought....was thinking of you & hope you are doing well.      
Wanda, Colton, OR, Jun 2 2005  

Oh Fredcat you perenial five year old. Here I send my very best wishes for your speedy recovery from your malady. May you forever awaken the Grumpy one as I'm sure it is good for his metabolism. Keep taking the medics as it is they that keep you alive.       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, May 31 2005  

Dear Fredcat - I see you're home again after your visit to the VSH, and a most impressive place it looked to be. I can't tell you how pleased I am to find out that you have allergies only and not something more serious. I know that allergies don't seem like such a happy occasion to you, but believe me, little one, they are a happy outcome - only outdone by finding out that there is nothing wrong at all. I too have allergies, but they cleared right up after taking the almost same steroids that you are being given. Let's hope they do the same for you. I'm glad you're home and everyone in the Fredcat household can breathe a sigh of relief. I hope you know, dear Fredcat, how lucky you are to have such a wonderful and caring family as Cathie and the (I'm not so sure how grumpy) Grumpy Mr.B. are. Just as I'm sure they realize how fortunate they are to be graced with the presence of such a famous and truly wonderous feline such as yourself. Happy Homecoming. As always,      
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, May 29 2005  

Dear Fredcat: This is your friend WeezerCat speaking to you. My mom has been singing all day that you only have allergies. I don't have any idea why she is so happy. I have allergies, too, and she always gets very upset when I start sneezing and coughing in the Spring and Fall. Anyway, I just wanted to say that She has made me take various pills and "steroid" (what is that???) goop, too, and I hate it! But I do get extra treats when I have to take it. And I suppose I do feel better after a while. And besides, if it makes the poor humans feel better about things, it's best in the long run to just to go along with it. They get so little out of life, after all, poor things. Why, they don't even know how much fun it is to chase spiders in the bathtub! Silly dears. So anyway, feel better soon. I enjoy your diary. I look at it when Mom is at work.      
Weezer, friend of Susan L. Carrboro, NC, May 28 2005  

My dearest Fredcat, I am saddened to hear of your allergies but I am also relieved that this can be treated easily. Did you know that I also am on steroids? So we're somewhat alike (other than the paw thing you have going on)! Trust me, those steroids will help you tremendously. I am very happy that this story had a happy ending. I must admt that I was very scared for you my dear Fredcat. Kudos to Cathie and Mr. B for pursuing a diagnosis and getting you well. With love, Shauna     
Shauna, Washougal, WA, May 28 2005  

Good evening to the famous red boy! I am so very sorry to hear you are not well again. I do worry about you my friend. I do hope the experts at VSH have found out your problem and can put you on the road to recovery! I am anxiously awaiting the diagnosis.......Your nurse friend      
Donna, Apex, Raleigh, NC, May 27 2005  

Oh Fredcat, I'm so sorry that you had such trouble last night. It seems patently unfair that you can't breathe through your mouth. I continue to read your tails with worry over your health. You, of course, look as handsome as ever. You have a large group of admirers who are hoping you continue to get better. I do think you deserve more treats for being so stoic. Perhaps Mr. B or Cathie could cook up some nice tuna for you tonight. I do think you deserve it mightly.     
Shauna, Washougal, WA, May 27 2005  

Oh my very dear beloved furry friend Fredcat. Please Get Well Remember We Love you. I'm sure that I speak for all your admirers. In love and Peace JimmyDeFish       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, May 27 2005  

Please be well dear Fredcat. You are in my thoughts and wishes for a good diagnosis from your tests at VSH. Also Petey, Tally and Mia send good wishes to their hero. Again please be well,       
Teresa Talley, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, May 27 2005  

Dear Mr. Fredcat, I hope that you are doing well today and enjoying the Spring!      
Dusty, Victor, ID, May 26 2005  

Dearest boy, I am so glad to see from today's diary entry that you are home again after your very interesting stay at the VSH. I await further news with great trepi.... er, anticipation. As always, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your folk. Much love from your friend Susan      
Susan L, Carrboro, NC, May 25 2005  

Fredcat, I can't begin to tell you how glad I am that you're home. I hope you continue to do well. I would imagine that you look smashing in pink (or any other color). I was very worried about you for a while there. As always please give Cathie and Mr. B a little thank you from me      
Shauna, Washougal, WA, May 25 2005  

Dearest, dearest one, I have had some experience with the VSH in the past, and know it to be an excellent facility, filled with the kindest and most knowledgeable of experts and staff. I am confident that they will make your stay among them a productive one, and speed your return to the Fredcat residence. And what an honor for them to have such a celebrity among them! They are bound to hover 'round and ask all sorts of things of you. I trust that you will be gracious and accede to their requests. I will be thinking of you every minute, my Fredcat. My heartfelt good wishes and constant prayers are with you, and with your beloved human friends. I cannot say more. My heart is full. I love you, beautiful boy. Your friend, Susan      
Susan L, Carrboro, NC, May 24 2005  

Hello Fredcat! I hear you're on quite the journey. I hope they are treating you very well at the VSH. Make sure they know who is boss around there, ok? I like you too much for you to be sick, so pass those tests. I'll put in a good word for major treats when you get home. With love, Shauna      
Shauna, Washougal, WA, May 24 2005  

Hooray once again for Fredcat, whos diary's just five hundred and twenty five, (entries that is) the hero's always makes me smile, although he's only five (years old that is). One and a two and a diddley diddley doo to you my dear, Yours in Peace JimmyDeFish.......       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, May 23 2005  

Hello Fredcat, Mr. B and Cathie! Fredcat, I caught the hint of sneezing again. I do hope you'll seek help for that sneeze via the help of your human friends. Since you're my favorite cat, I really want you well. Give those human friends a passing glance from me. And tell your best human friend to give you extra treats, on my orders.       
Shauna, Washougal, WA, May 22 2005  

Oh-oh. I see that your webpage seems to have the sneezes again. I clicked on the word 'snuffle' and the screen erupted into a shaking fit. I do hope that only the computer has the snuffles again and not you, my dearest cutie-cat. Or maybe it's that sneaky Mr. B. playing tricks on us, using the intraweb to scare us into thinking something is wrong with our screens. I also read that you've been scheduled to visit the University, and a fine one it looks to be. I'm sure that they'll treat you with all the care and respect befitting one of your stature, and you'll emerge all the better for your visit. Be well, little one. With love from your devoted fan,       
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, May 21 2005  

Congratulations to our Cathie on her pay rise! Best beef and champagne for everyone!      
Susan L, Carrboro, NC, May 20 2005  

Fredcat, Love your stoneplate! What a great idea & with your colors no less! Very very nice. Good job Mr. B. Hope it is placed where the sun shines so you can lay next to it!!      
Wanda, Colton, OR, May 10 2005  

Hi Fredcat.Just finished reading your entry for today and followed the link for Mothering Sunday. I am gratified to know it originated in Ancient Greece. Like most good things!!! By the way, many congratulations for the fabulous picture of you reflected in your own glory! You are exceptionally brave, as I hear that some cats are not best pleased when confronted by another feline in a mirror. Well done for a great page and beautiful picture.best loves mx.      
Margaret, Liverpool, May 10 2005  

"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all??" Why, that would be Fredcat of course. That is a great picture of you in the mirror. What a handsome boy you are, and what a treat for us because we get to see ALL of you at the same time. I bet that it was your best friend Cathie who came up with that clever picture.Keep up the good work, my feline friend (and the wonderful Cathie and Mr.B) Your devoted fan,       
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, May 9 2005  

Fredcat, You are so handsome! Very good pic of you admiring yourself in the mirror! Must be quite nice to have your own personal groomer! Your best human friend Cathie & Mr B do take such good care of you.Your friend, Wanda      
Wanda, Colton, OR, May 8 2005  

Dearest Fredcat, Congratulations! Yours is the finest blog on the intaweb, be it cat, man, woman or mouse! Heartiest best wishes on this auspicious milestone from our household to yours! (And not just from myself and your friend "Tubcat" Weezer, mind you, but from Daisy the WonderBeagle as well. Even though she's just a d*g, she has just enough intelligence to greatly admire you, and insists on being included in the good wishes!)      
Susan L, Carrboro, NC, Apr 25 2005  

Fredcat, What an accomplishment you have reached! 500 entries is quite the milestone!! It is indeed a special day! Today, you deserve an "extra helping" of whatever your little heart desires. Petey, Tally, Mia and I are quite honored to read your 500th entry today. They think that you Fredcat, are a most admirable role model. Petey wants to know if he can have 500 morsels of food today in your honor...you know, just to be able to grasp the magnitude of your feat. My three fur babies meow "kudos" for Fredcat! Congratulations dear Fredcat! We look forward to celebrating your 1000th entry.       
Teresa Talley, Petey, Tally and Mia, Sanford, NC, Apr 24 2005  

Fredcat - I'm only new to reading about your adventures, but have already found them to be an interesting and fun read. Imagine my surprise when I found our you've already made 500 entries and at such a young age.
I hope that you can continue to write about your many adventures and your life with your best friend Cathie and The Grumpy Mr. B for many, MANY years to come.
Congratulations on reaching this historic event of 500 entries. It's a milestone to be proud of.      
Rick, Apr 23 2005  

Congratulations on your recent achievement. 500 entries is a HUGE accomplishment in itself, but it's more amazing when you take into account your young age of only 5 years old.
I'll bet that in the whole world you're the only feline to even come CLOSE to that number. Plus, the other cats haven't a chance of becoming the OSF of NC, so it's two claims to fame for you. Your talents seem endless.
I hope your day is filled with lots of snuggles and treats and surprises (but only the good kind), with no fishy goo in site. Hugs to all of you at the Fredcat house.  Congratulations, little one.  As always I remain, Your devoted fan      
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, Apr 23 2005  

Way to go Freddie! On the bard's day as well. Here's to the next 500!
Well done you and your best human friends. mx.

Wowie! I can't believe that this is your 500th entry??? I totally look up to you . . . you rock! Keep the good times going and have a real blowout today - let me know if you need me to come over to help you celebrate. I'll get my human friend, Mistole, to bring me (she's typing this for me, so she knows about it). Party on! Your cousin, Eddie      
Eddie, Raleigh, NC, Apr 23 2005  

Congratulations Fredcat on your 500th entry! I hope you get some extra treats from Mr. B. You can tell him that I said it was ok :o)   Long live Fredcat!! Your cousin Eddie's human friend, Mistole

Hello Fredcat! I hear that you're coming up on your 500th entry. Well, how great are you? Give the grumpy on and the best friend a kiss for me. Your tails are always enjoyable!      
Shauna, Washougal, WA, Apr 22 2005  

Dear Fredcat, I just had to write & congratulate you on your "500th" dairy entry today. That is some accomplishment for such a young & busy feline! Perhaps this will make you even more famous, if that is possible! Enjoy your very important day!
Hope you are done with the fishy goo & the sneezing!! Stay well!Wanda      
Wanda, Colton, OR, Apr 22 2005  

With heartiest congratulations to our elegant friend, Fredcat, on your 500th diary entry!!!

Marti, Apr 22 2005  

Five hundred entries in your diary eh? Well my dear Fredcat, At this very moment let me announce to you that I am totally lost for words, poems or anything. Indeed all I can think of saying is, three cheers for Fredcat,
HIP HIP HOOOORAY!!!
HIP HIP HOOOORAY!!!
HIP HIP HOOOORAY!!!
Yes you're a much loved character on the intaweb take a virtual cuddle from Mr DeFish      
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Apr 22 2005  

Hi Fred, looking over your diary, it looks as if you are on the mend. I am happy to see it. Your friend Tigger is much better. Her appetite has returned and she thinks that the T in tuna stands for Tigger's dinner. Snowy is snuffly at present but basically OK. He has always been a snuffly boy and had sinusitis when younger. Your grasp of current affairs never fails to astound. I was impressed to see the analogies you drew with the curia and your own fiefdom. Sharp as ever.Hope the recovery continues apace. Best purrs mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Apr 20 2005  

Oh Fredcat you're my favourite cat, of that its plain to see,
At MI5 (the feline branch, everyone agrees,
And master agents doff their hats, to their real life Fredcat star,
That's why he gets those emails, from near, and from afar,
Although your fans can't cuddle you, they'll cheer you all the way,
So here we go - one rousing shout, Hip hip, Hip hip, HOORAY!!!.
To my favourite ginger tom, Fredcat from jimmydefish XXX       
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Apr 14 2005  

Hi Fred! It's been a busy day in the 'Pool. Grand National. As you know, this is the most prestigious race in the world and we hold it here, almost without fail every year. This year, Hedgehunter won by 14 lengths, which is a lot in racing. Anyway darling one. On the subject of funerals and the principal attending it, I saw a programme the other week set in a remote area of Scotland and one of the characters had a funeral party, so that they could enjoy the fuss before the bother, so to speak. It appeared to be a sort of custom. And one I heartily recommend for those of us, meaning you, who deserve to have a fuss made of them. I hope this takes the sting out of your learning curve, now that you actually know what a funeral is. But then dear boy, you are only 5! A lifetime of learning ahead.Best loves mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Apr 10 2005  

Hi Freddie darling boy! I hope you are well. I think your humans need educating in the sleeping habits of mature cats. Your friends Snowy, Tigger, Ginger and Snotty do like very long naps indeed. All that brain power needs good rest. And deeds need planning and organising. The lack of opposable thumbs, which you have mentioned once or twice, precludes them using a palm pilot or a note book, so of coursel you clever cats have to commit to memory and that takes time. Which leads to long nap times. Oh, well, nothing much to report. I hope you are feeling as chipper as I am today. Best loves mx      
Margaret, Liverpool, Mar 31 2005  

Dear Fredcat, I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed your March 22nd entry with the "sneezed" inserts. Loved the earthquake effect!! You are such a clever cat. I do hope you are feeling well & enjoying your famous life. Wanda      
Wanda, Colton, OR, Mar 28 2005  

Your latest innovation on the web page was very funny. It took me a while to realise what it was, but I was a bit sleepy at the time. Well done the Grumpy One. I had to fetch a tissue. I think you are very brave to use your affliction to give your readers a smile. Well done again.      
Margaret, Liverpool, Mar 26 2005  

Ahhhh Fredcat, how are you? I need to tell you that the other day I was checking out your wonderful website and clicked on the "sneeze". I was very surprised by the shaking of the page! The Grumpy One does an amazing job on your website! Enjoy your Spring weather. We got snow today. :) Dusty       
Dusty, Victor, ID, Mar 24 2005  

Dear Fredcat - I've heard through the grapevine that you're feeling better. Actually, not only feeling better, but you're back on patrol protecting your family from mice, squirrels and the odd wayward deer. What good news this is, and I know that your best friend Cathie (and even the Grumpy Mr. B) must also feel so much better knowing that you're back to being the healthy fif...ummm...five year old cat that you normally are. I'm glad the drugs worked, and I'll assume the tuna flavor was thought better of than the banana, as not too much fuss seemed to be made this time in taking your medicine. Continued improvement and good health, little one. Your devoted fan,       
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, Mar 3 2005  

Glad to hear your health is improving. That is the best news I have heard today. BUT, you need to remind your human friends that March 1st is St David's Day. The feast day of the patron saint of Wales. Now I know there is a lot of friendly rivalry between England and Wales, but why should St Patrick and St Andrew get all the kudos? You should have been reminded of this because of the magnificent display of daffodils, the floral emblem of Cymru, that you have in your gardens. You could have further celebrated by partaking of a mite of leek and potato soup (with ham for your benefit), Welsh Rarebit, Larva Bread and a drop scone or two. Bora dah, feline friend. Don't forget that the 23 April is not too far off either. Best loves.      
Margaret, Liverpool, near Wales, Mar 1 2005  

Good Morning my dear feline friend! "The Boys" and I are so sorry that you are not feeling well. The Captn is just recovering from pharyngitis. He goes back to Dr. Nick today for his recheck. I know all too well about giving meds to smart kitties!!! I just wanted to let your mom know if she needs a nurse to come by, I would be glad to help. When YOU feel bad Fredcat, we ALL feel bad! Hobie Cat says to tell you he was neutered on Valentine's Day....what a way for mom to express her "love" :) Your Friends, Crusty Sailor, Captn Tony, Hobie Cat...and Donna      
Donna, Raleigh, NC, Feb 26 2005  

I must write some other verse to cheer you up again,
That grumpy Mr B. thinks that he can judge the Fredcat brain,
When we all know that you Fredcat are saviour of the earth,
And you have many more years in front to prove your Fredcat worth,
Detective, agent, super-sleuth and famous cat well known,
When young you lived in England now in USA your known,
Where ever you are in this wide world it always is right,
Now we all give one rousing cheer for this star ginger and white,
We can always praise him any hour of the day,
And so we let ourselves go -and shout hip hip hip hooray!      
Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Feb 26 2005  

My dear Fredcat, So sorry to read you have the sniffles & have to take medicine again. It does help that it is one of your favorite flavors!! Please listen to your best friend Cathie so you get well! No sneaking out in the rain or cold until you are well!!       
Wanda, Oregan, Feb 21 2005  

Dear Mr Fredcat, Get well soon ya handsome boy! The weather will soon be getting warmer and you will need to spend more time outside protecting your home from roving d*gs. I hope the tuna medicine tastes much better to you than the banana. :)       
Dusty, Victor, ID, Feb 18 2005  

Dear Fredcat - It was with great concern that I read about your recent bout of snuffling and such. I was relieved to find that it wasn't the same thing that was troubling you in the past. *Whew* - what a relief that must have been for all of you. We can't have a feline as famous as you being sick, now, can we. I also read that you're going to be taking tuna flavored Ciprofloxacin. Personally, I would prefer the banana flavor, however, that isn't why I brought it up.
I was looking up the medicine, making sure that there wasn't anything in there that cats can't have (we can't have be careful enough, with someone as famous as you), and noticed that this drug is also used for something called "Cat Scratch Disease". This struck me as very strange. They won't have you as OSF, but they'll name a disease (of all things) after a CAT!
Sometimes there just isn't any justice. Feel better soon, cutie cat. As always, Your devoted fan       
Tracy, Calgary, AB, Canada, Feb 18 2005  

Dearest boy, I am devastated to hear you have the miseries again. I don't know. You will have to quell your adventuresome nature and keep away from the mulch methinks.
You may be heartened to hear that the v^t may just be right about the idiopathic nature of your snuffles. Your good friends, Snowy and Tigger have always been sneezy cats, indeed, Snowy, way back in his adolescence had sinusitis! They are in the main very healthy cats indeed and are fast approaching their nineteenth birthdays. They still make the d*g lead a d*g's life, make sure she is kept at the bottom of the animal heap and in general, play lots of nasty, ahem, clever tricks on her.
By the way Freddie dearest, whose bed are you lounging on in your photo today?      
Margaret, Liverpool, England, Feb 18 2005  

Hel-lo Fredcat, yes it's me your Valentine posting you a message in your guestbook. Shame we're divided by such a large amount of water (I hate water) the thing is that we are having an extra room built on top of the house where I live and if only you could come over for the week-end we'd have such fun. There is a d*g in the house though but I can assure you that a cat of your stature would soon knock Chip the Jack-Russell into shape (anyway he knows who is boss, me that is, and so he is no trouble). This room is bound to have a bed in it and so we could get snuggley without any troubling my humans. I'm just off for my beauty sleep now (after all us fift...er five year olds, need our beauty sleep) See you in my dreams big boy.
Lots of it (LOVE) and even more Kisses CrittercatXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX      
Crittercat, That would be telling, Feb 17 2005

Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Feb 12 2005  

Freddikins, just read your latest diary entry and with regard to your thought on energy, is this the Atkins diet plan? Because I have heard one criticism of the Atkins plan that says because energy cannot be created or destroyed, then where does the fat go (aka energy)? So it makes sense to conserve what you have. Inspiration for failed dieters all over the world I think. I include myself in this.      
Margaret, Liverpool, England, Feb 9 2005  

I was most interested to read your thoughts on the Superbowl. If Momma Cathie has kept the adverts on tape, who knows, your best Aunt Margaret might get to see them one day! I do hope you were joking when you said that Mr B was drinking alcohol straight out of the tin, without benefit of a glass! I can't see him doing that somehow, despite his striving for versimilitude. I was amused to hear about the puss cats who opened the fridge door. The only reason I can give for them not eating the purloined food was that it took such physical effort to prise open the door that they were too exhausted to eat it. Tasks of such a menial nature need to be left for the butler to do, as you know only too well. I do hope you become the OSF for North Carolina, as being the USF kind of leaves one in limbo, as well as possibly precipitating an identity crisis. Not for you dear heart, but for those who don't know you too well. FREDCAT FOR OSF OF NC! YAYYY!!!! best love and kisses      
Margaret, Liverpool, England, Feb 7 2005  

To Fredcat my most important friend,
your much loved by people the world over,
and thanks to Cathie and his grumpiness,
you live in lots of clover.
(O.K. it's just a term I don't actualy mean you live in the green stuff so Mr B. can put the lawn rake down, If he ever has picked it up.)
To earn such precious super care,
Your missions you complete,
and Cathie she is always there,
with a tasty Fredcat treat.
So now let each and everyone,
who hold the Fredcat dear,
take one deep breath,
then let it out in one big rousing cheer,
Hip..Hip..Hoooray

Jimmydefish, Stockport, England, Feb 6 2005  

OH MY!!! Thank you so much for including my handsome boy on your website! He is a fine one! We will not forget you when the movie deals start pouring in! Oh, and cat food commercials...so many things to think about! Please let Fredcat know that his nagging was appreciated by my boys! Now they ALL want to appear on the computer! Oh, and tell Fredcat all of us believe HE should be the Official State Feline for NC! Thanks again...Your Friend, Donna      
Donna, Raleigh, NC, Feb 3 2005  

Dear Fredcat, You will be a spectacular Official State Feline! I think Mr. B needs to go through the official channels and have you made the OSF as soon as possible! NC will be lucky to have such a wonderful specimen of feline as you.      
Dusty, Victor, ID, Feb 2 2005  

Meow, Mr. Fredcat. Please allow us to introduce ourselves: I am Kitty Schottland, a fifteen-year-old dark tortie; this is Capt. Midnight, the Good Luck Black Cat, who is eleven-and-a-half; and finally Lilith Kitten, a four-year-old tabby-and-white-striped muted tortie. We really love to visit your web site with our human mom, Debby, and have learned a lot from reading it.      
Debby, Boca Raton, FL, Feb 2 2005  

Dear Fredcat, Petey, Mia and Tally and myself extend our best wishes to you, Cathie and Mr. B. for a fabulous Famous Fredcat year in 2005! My three little fur "babies" are so excited at receiving their first ever email... and from such a famous one! Petey enjoyed so much today's photographs of your moggie friends. He is young at only one year of age, and has much to learn about solving mysteries. So far, he just seems to create them! He is a funny boy. His sisters, Mia and Tally are his partners in crime. When the three of them have their heads together, something is bound to turn up missing. Mia is the kleptomaniac though. She has cleverly "misplaced" many ink pens to her favorite hiding places. We are all in favor of Fredcat the Famous for State Feline! North Carolina would be most honored! Thank you again for sharing your daily loggings with us. We eagerly await each day for a blog of the Famous One. Our best wishes to all of you.       
Teresa Talley , Petey, Mia and Tally, Sanford, NC, Feb 2 2005  

Hello Fredcat, Cathie and Mr. B. The d*gs and I are always happy to hear from you and to visit the site. The d*gs are not sure why Fredcat can have a site and such exciting adventures when they can't, but I just give them a biscuit and they forget very quickly. See you soon      
Betsy, Chance and Henry, NC, Jan 31 2005  

Hey Fredcat....Of course you should be the Official State Feline!! Who else would be worthy of the title? No one of course! There is not another cat in NC as well known, with their own website & as popular as you are. Can't believe they have a d*g selected & not a cat. Just think how pleased your best friend Cathy & Mr. B would be! As pampered as you are already, they would certainly have to upgrade your food quality "even more" if you had the OSF title! Your friend, Wanda       
Wanda, Oregan, Jan 29 2005  

Dear Fredcat - Did I read correctly? Do you mean you're NOT the "Official State Feline"? How on EARTH did this oversite happen? It MUST be an oversite, don't you think? How could they have a state d*g and not have a state feline - or course, with you being said feline. There must be someone we can write to fix this grievous error. The Mayor? Govenor? PRESIDENT?? I'm perplexed and in shock. Until we get this fixed, remember that you're the Number One, Official Cat in my eyes. Until then, I remain as always Your devoted fan, Tracy      
Tracy, Calgary AB, Canada, Jan 28 2005  

The cats I live with are very pleased that you have provided this guestbook. They wish it known that they support you whole heartedly in your quest to become The Official State Feline of North Carolina. They also wish you to know that they stand ready to write to any state officer you may designate, including The Honorable Governor Easley, in support of your petition to attain the designation you so richly deserve. On their behalf, I remain, David Ridgeway       
David Ridgeway, Clayton, NC, Jan 28 2005  

It's me - your friend Jasmine. Just checking in to send some fur kisses and good wishes your way for a wonderful 2005! I hope that this finds you doing well.

Jasmine, Raleigh, NC, Jan 24 2005  

Fredcat, darling, you may have our Cathie and poor old Mr. B confuzled about your wild behavior the other night, but I am wise to you. You and my Weezer had it all planned, didn't you? She exhibited the same wild, unexplained behavior that evening, too! First skating on the icy deck, then racing around the walls outside my bedroom before settling in for a snooze as if nothing had happened!      
Susan L, Carrboro, NC, Jan 24 2005  

Freddy dearest,bringing a new cat into your residence is certainly a big issue. But there are many plus sides to it. You would have the start of a retinue, like all the best stars. You would have a gofer and you would be able to teach a disciple of proper cat behaviour. And you would succeed in making Mr B's life even more of a trial!!!! However, cat toys are good too. I am considering the purchase of a kitty scratch tower for my brood. What do you think?      
Margaret, Liverpool, England Jan 23 2005  

Dear Fredcat, Love your picture today, 1/20. You look very "in control" with your right leg resting on that big stack of papers. The "I'm the boss look!" Well I guess you are the boss around there. :o) Keep on writing! Your friend, Wanda

Hip Hip HOORAY for Fredcat the FAMOUS FURRY FELINE FRIEND,
My praise for you shall never end, and for Cathie (now let me see),
and there's the NASTY Mr B, Who I'm told is not to be praised, (as it only encourages him).
Just a little verse again in praise of Fredcat.
Of course Mr B is not to be praised -ever (as this can be very dangerous). Well must get on, Bye now Love and Peace Jimmydefish XXX

Dear Fred Thank you for including a link to those fabulous kittens. I am pleased you allowed them on your site, as of course, they are not a patch on you. I am happy you recognise that aspiring adult cats in training have a lot to learn and by encouraging them you are fulfilling a valuable mentorship role. Well done you Fred.

Dear Fredcat - I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am that you now have a guest book. You really ARE the smart one, aren't you. You were also ever so smart to pick Cathie and The Grumpy Mr. B. when they were looking for a cat to live with. Better friends could not be found!! I enjoy reading about your exploits and your many 'tales'. Keep up the good work, and thank you for letting us have this glimpse into your busy and oh-so famous life. I'm allergic to cats (and what a horrible crime that is), so being able to read about your life is almost like living with a cat myself and and all the joy that can bring. Take good care of you AND your wonderful family. With love and respect, Your devoted fan - Tracy p.s. Could you at least just give the catnip a try.....:)

Hi Fred! I hope you are keeping your humans in check and make sure the cheques they have to write for the tax man aren't too big. After all, they need all the cash they have to keep you in the manner you have become accustomed to. Best loves

My dear Fredcat, I am writting to let you know how much I enjoy reading your daily diary! It is awfully nice of you to share your life with the whole world!! I must say you are a handsome cat & lead a very "good" life...well some thanks to your friend Cathie & grumpy Mr B! Very nice that you can go in & out of your beautiful home as you wish. Not all cats have it so nice you know! It was very exciting to see my kitten Kali in your diary. She is all grown up now & I know she would really like you since you are so nice & "very" well mannered. Thanks for taking the time to write in your diary. Please keep it up! L & Hugs, Wanda

Hi Fredcat the Famous. I must admit that I do enjoy your tales. The grumpy one must be fun to deal with. However, your best human friend Cathie sounds like nothing but sunshine. I don't have any cats or cat stories that I can share. But if you ever want an earful about chickens then I'm your woman. Keep up the great "tails" :) Your friend, Shauna!

Fredcat, you are so handsome and interesting! Mr B and Cathie are so lucky to have a cat like you!

Oh Fredcat your so Wonderful
So cuddly and so sweet,
My favourite of feline friends,
You make my life complete.
Because I live in a single flat,
I'm not allowed to keep a d*g or cat,
It is a flamin' shame,
And I am not to blame.

Darling Fredcat, does your genius know no bounds? What a wonderful idea, this Guestbook! You know I have been moved to comment on your doings on a number of occasions, and this will give me a lovely, easy way to share my thoughts and express my admiration. Well done!
