Saturday Dare

Yo ho yo ho, a pirate's life for us!! Hey kitties, First Mate Dante here. The Captain and I were quite impressed with the large crew of kitties that we were able to recruit for Talk Like a Pirate Day yesterday. In the next couple of days, we will be coming by to let everyone know that they were awarded the highly prized Black Furrball Crew Member badge, but if you cannot wait until then, please feel free to take the badge now for your bloggie.

On other news, we have accepted Karl's dare! Although our beans do lots for the enviroment - they recycle, use green household cleaners whenever they can, and Mommy even takes the commuter bus to work 5 days a week (and the bus runs on natural gas too) - they do one thing that we really love in the spring and fall - they turn off the AC and open all of the windows to cool the house! You see, we are kitties of a southern clime and its way too hot to open the windows and turn off the AC in the summer, but we do this every chance we get. In fact, this is the first weekend since late spring that we've done this and just look!!

Here I am showing Fagin how awesome the windows in the den are for window sitting. You see, we have a great ledge that runs along one side of the room underneath the windows so we can sit and lay and stare outside all day long quite comfortably! In fact, there is so much room here that Samwise has been known to get onto this ledge in front of an open window and sleep too!

Captain Jack, should we tell him? Should we give him advance warning or should we just let him enjoy the weekend and tell him Sunday night?

Let's wait. I do not feel like having to answer his questions all weekend. The open windows are way too nice to ruin with kitten excitement! He'll know somethings up on Sunday when they take our food and water away.
Hey guys, what are you talking about? Are you talking about ME? What's going on? Why would Mommy and Daddy take our FOODS away? Did ME do something bad??

*SIGH* How do you prepare a mini-mancat for their hooha-ectomy? Fagin's is Monday - should we warn him or just let it go and see if he notices anything after he wakes up??

PS: Once again, thank you all so much for your kind words following Merlyn's passing. You thoughts and love meant a lot!! Mommy is worried about Fagin on Monday since he will be having his hooha-ectomy so if you guys could purr for him to be okay on Monday, we would really appreciate it!! Have a great weekend!!

You crew looks so similar to our crew at wlk. We have a stiped tabby Mcat, a black furball and a tux.

We too have to wait for the cooler temp for bean to open a window. We tell her just crack it for goodness sake and we will squish down to peek out.

Daddy bean built shelves for us on the front porch which is closed in with screens so NOW we can get fresh air always. Meow!!!!!

Bean just pick up the black furball badge for sis fuzz-butt.

-wlk crew.

Tesla ALWAYS sits by the windows like that.

However, i'm too big. I can rest my head on the ledge sometimes!

Fat Eric said...

Will purr for Fagin. I do not think you should tell him, just see if he can work out what's missing when he comes back from the v-e-t!

Thank you for accepting the Dare! Yes, shutting off the A/C sure helps! Good idea.
I would tell Fagin, we all go through it as a rite of passage (is that what I want to say???) and it is something to be proud of!

Do you get a lot of birdies in those bushes outside the window?

Mr. Hendrix said...

That is a good think you do for the environment. I'm glad it isn't usually at hot here in Ohio. We're glad you got to open your windows.

Hey Fagin, don't worry about tomorrow. You'll never miss those hoo-has and afer your snip snip, you'll get all kinds of attention and treats!

We'll purr for you all day
