Mancat Monday

Well kitties, I did it. I sat on Mommy's head and demanded that my birthday present pictures be uploaded and she finally did it!!
Here I am taking my first look at the box the postal human left at our doorstep. What could it be I wondered - was it for me?

Oh wow - the card does have my name on it and just look at those mousies. I thought I recognized the handwriting. Mommy read the card for me and I was right, it was from my love!! I was so excited, Pearl, because I knew that whatever was in the box, you had sent it to me so that meant it was the best present I had ever recieved!

And just look at all the stuff she sent me - three mousies, nummy treats, a cat dancer, some of the special PB&J nip, and my favorite gift- my lady's favor -a lock of my lovely's floof. I will treasure it always and always keep it close to my heart.

Uh oh, what are my stupid brothers doing down there on the floor? I bet that they are up to no good!

Sigh! Alas I was right. They got a hold of some of the present wrappings and just look at them, attacking and shredding it!

Well, maybe if they play with the tissue paper they will leave my presents alone!!

Brothers! Sometimes I wish I was an only child. Anyway, thank you thank you thank you my lovely and beautiful and fearsome Black Pearl. I loved each and every one of the gifts you sent me - almost as much as I love you! I am the luckiest mancat in the world to have a lady such as you!!

Fuming on Friday

Hi kitties, Dante here! I am mad and fuming at my Mommy this Friday. You see, on my birthday, which was WEEKS AGO, my beautiful Black Pearl sent me a birthday present. And when I opened it Mommy tooks lots of pictures and said we would post them on the bloggie so that Pearl and everyone else could see how much I loved the wonderful gifts she picked out for me. Has Mommy done this yet? NO! She lets Fagin post and Jack too but no pics of my special birthday gift from the lovely Pearl. I am so mad I am fuming!! I sudder to think that my beautiful lady thinks I did not get her present or even worse, that I did not like what she sent. You guy kitties will understand, my lady is beautiful and wonderful - just look at her eyes and her furrs! Oh, she's magnificent!

Sweet Pearl, please do not think for a moment that I did not appreciate your gifts. I loved them all. Mommy swears she will put the pics online for everyone to see by Monday. I will guard the laptop and not let anyone else post until she does. Please Pearl, do not be angry or upset. It's all Mommy's fault and I will punish her by ignoring her and then laying on her head until she does as I command.

PS: We need lots and lots of purrs today kitties. Aunt Susan has to go see a human V-E-T. She had a herniated disc in her neck and they will be injecting steroids into her spinal column in her neck. In order to do this, she has to be under sedation. Uncle Dave is taking her today to get this done. Please purr and purr for Aunt Susan to be okay. We could not bare it if something happened to her. Thank you. Have a great weekend everyone!!

Thursday Thirteen

Hi kitties, Fagin here!! I have a question for all you adult kitties and older kittens out there. Did you get in more trouble as you got older? You see, I am turning into a big mancat now and I can jump lots more places but everytime I try to do more things, I get yelled at! Take this morning for instance. I snuggled up to Mommy and she seemed really happy so I decided she would love to play with me so I put the bitey on her and then she screamed "Fagin, stop it!" and threw me off the bed. I just do not get it!! This has inspired me to write this week's Thursday Thirteen which I will entitle:

13 Things Fagin Heard As He Got Into Trouble

1. "Fagin! Get off the stove you moron!"
2. "Fagin! Stop attacking Dante! He does not want to play!"
3. "Fagin! That is my sandwich! You cannot have it so stop licking it!"
4. "Fagin! You do not drink bubble tea so go away!"
5. "Fagin! You are too young to drink wine. Stop it!"
6. "Fagin! Stop climbing that screen!"
7. "Fagin! Get in this house now! It's raining and you will get soaked on the porch!"
8. "Fagin! Why the hell are you wet? You're taking too much after Billy!"
9. "Fagin! Stop eating my hair!"
10. "Fagin! Stop attacking Samwise's floof. That makes him mad at you!"
11. "Fagin! Do not eat that bug! Give that here!"
12. "Fagin! Stop attacking that doorframe. Why the hell do you do that anyway?!"
13. "Fagin! Captain Jack will kill you for it so stop plotting to steal his Temptations!"

Humans!! I just do not understand why they never let me have any fun!!

Woofie Update

Mommy is really busy today and will not be available to help us type much but we did want to say that the woofie that was found in our yard yesterday has gone home! Daddy had taken the little guy day hunting with him because he did not want to leave an unknown woofie alone with us or loose in the backyard. When he pulled into our driveway last night the woofie's hysterical Mommy was waiting on him. Our neighbor had told her that she thought we had her woofie and we did. Daddy did not quite catch the woofie's name as his Mommy was so hysterical and crying but we are very happy that he got to go home with his Mommy! YAY!!

Look at this!!

You kitties will never believe what happened to us! Last night, as we were trying to settle down and take some naps, the woofies kept barking and barking. Samwise and Beaux just would not shut up! Finally, Daddy got up about 1:30am to see what all the ruckus was about. Imagine our surprise when he came in and said, "You will not believe this, but there is a little dog in our yard!" Mommy and us could not believe it! How did a doggie get into our yard? It's fenced and last we looked woofies could not open our gate (if they could Beaux would be out exploring the world not staying in our backyard)! But it was true. Just look at what Daddy found!!

He's a male and about 1-2 years old we think. Daddy thinks he is a cross between a Sheltie and a Chihuahua. He fit into our PTU and is currently hanging out with Daddy at work today.

Mommy and Daddy cannot figure out how he got in. The fence was shut and no places where the doggie dug into the yard were evident. Mommy is wondering if someone wanted to get rid of him and put him in our backyard because they knew we had found another homeless dog a home a few weeks ago. He's a male and about 1-2 years old we think.

Mommy and Daddy are not sure what to do with him. They do not know if he is good with other woofies or kitties yet or if anyone will take him. Anyone have any ideas?? We cannot keep him because the Black Furrball is over full and any more may sink the ship. He is really cute though, for a woofie.

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July everyone! We hope you are all having a good day. So far we have had real live dead shrimps and are looking forward to more. Mommy and Daddy are going to take Samwise and spend the day with Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave and so other friends so we are going to eat lots and nap and maybe watch some firewords later. If the magnificent Lady Boo or the lovely Black Pearl and her beautiful woofie sister George would like to come and join us, we would be honoured! Happy 4th of July!! We hope you enjoy the holiday!!

Tuxie and Tabby Tuesday

Sometimes, humans are just hard to understand. Take last night for instance. We were downstairs hanging with Dad when we found some nice warm spots and decided to nap. We were all sleepy and happy and warm when suddenly Mom came downstairs, shrieked and said "I gotta get the camera!" Sigh. Here is the first picture she took. As you can see, we were both so surprised by her screaming and excitement that we turned on our laser eyebeams before we realized there was nothing to shoot with them.

Yes yes, we are sleeping Mom. We actually sleep here a lot. The computer is warm so Fagin lays on top of it behind the monitor and the fan from the computer puts out a lot of warm air so Captian Jack lays on the back of the couch in front of the CPU fan. She said we looked "so cute." We thought we just looked asleep.

Why do the humans wake you up when you are right in the middle of a squirrel hunting dream? Do you think that my big yawn was enough of a hint for Mom to leave us alone?

No, she kept taking pictures. I advised Fagin to just ignore her and try to go back to sleep, because eventually she would get bored and go away. We are not sure how long it took her to go away because we fell asleep again. All we know is she was gone when we got hungry and woke up several hours later.
