Ticked Off Tuesday

You will not believe this new development at our house kitties - the humans, they got ANOTHER WOOFIE!! This means THREE WOOFIES in our house now kitties!!

No kitties, we did not, I promise. That was Grandpa's and Nana's woofie. Remember Grandpa came over to help Daddy fix his truck? Well, he brought Max too so Max would not have to be at home alone.

But Mommy, you allowed ANOTHER WOOFIE into OUR HOUSE!! And he slept on Captain Jack's LSU fuzzy blanket too!!

He has gone home now - Grandpa took him home yesterday. And I will wash the blanket, I promise. I took some pictures of him though, can I post those for everyone to see? He's really cute!!

NO! No pictures of WOOFIEs until you post one of us! Where are our pictures??!!

Daddy is still trying to get them off of my laptop...

You took pictures of a WOOFIE yesterday but not us!! HOW RUDE! Woman, we want tuna for this indiscretion before we will even consider forgiving you. Woofie pictures, no pictures of us, no tuna!! BAD MOMMY!!!! We are going to go on strike!! No more purrs and cuddles for you until we get tuna and temptations and fish and chicken and hamm and whatever else we want. BAD MOMMY!!!!!!

No Picture Monday

Hi kitties! We're back - well, kinda. Mommy promises that she will help us blog more this week (she thanks everyone for their concern about her - last week was a bad week for her and we are all hoping that this week is beter) but that some of the posts we wanted to do will have to wait. You see, Saturday Mommy tried to boot up her laptop and it wouldn't boot! Daddy says he can fix it but he is afraid that it will take wiping the hard drive and starting over. The sad thing about this is that the pictures for the posts we wanted to do are on that laptop. We hope Daddy can get our pictures off before he wipes the hard drive!! Until then we are going to have to use Daddy's laptop (yes, we have more computers than any sane household should have. Daddy sells them and networks them together for a living so we somehow wind up with one per room in the house. This laptop was brought home specificaly so Daddy can play World of Warcraft all over the house without being tied to his desktop - Daddy is an ubergeek. That is what Mommy calls him).

The good news is that both Mommy and Daddy are home with us today!! Mommy has the day off of day hunting because it's some human holiday (Columbus Day) and Daddy is home because Grandpa is coming over to help him fix his metal machine (truck). We wish they were home with us everyday!! We always get more treats and more cuddle time when they are home, and we know we'll get extra pets from Grandpa too!!

Mommy should be glad that she is home with us - she has a lot of work to do to make it up to us for not helping us blog last week. Bad mommy! We require more Temp-ta-shuns before we will even consider forgiving you!!!

Kinda Wordy Wednesday

Look at this kitties! ME have heard that for some beans, the stuff Daddy has in that glass is like nip for us kitties. ME have had the stuff humans like called wine and champagne (well, one sip of each followed by someone screaming "Fagin, NO!") but ME have never had beer so ME thought ME would try it.

First, ME had to be sneaky. If ME get caught someone will scream "Fagin, NO!" at ME again. Here ME am making sure Daddy is paying more attention to the Saints game than to ME. Yep, he is, so here ME go!!

ME got ONE NOM in before Mommy screamed "Fagin, NO!" and Daddy said "Fagin, you alcoholic, NO!" hehehehehe. Mommy says ME have to be 21 to drink big bean alcohol. ME is 7 months old now - how long until ME am 21?? Is it soon, cause ME likes big beans drinks!!

In other news, Mommy is feeling just like this picture:

She has heard nothing about the job she wanted and she says her hope has faded and left. She said she will help us to visit our friends soon, but right now its hard to help us out when she is so sad. We'll be back to visiting soon, when Mommy is feeling a little brighter.

It Was a Miracle!!

Kitties, it was absolutely amazing - a true miracle. We thought that our beloved DrinkWell water fountain had gone to the Bridge. We comforted ourselves with visions of it providing water for all of our loved ones who went before us. We had almost accepted the loss when the miracle happened. IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN!! Daddy did something to the motor and IT WORKS NOW!!! YAY!!!!

An update on Mommy - we think that she may need a miracle herself. She has not heard about the job she wanted (they said first of this week she would know) and as every moment ticks by she is getting more and more depressed. She does not think it will happen for her (maybe she is cursed she says) but after looking for a new job for a year, she is really down. She knows she should be thankful that she has a job (Uncle Mark and Gradpa do not) but she feels so unhappy and so very trapped. One more miracle is all we ask. If the DrinkWell can return from the brink maybe.........

Our Water Fountain

It is with heavy hearts that we must report to you kitties that the worst has happened to our beloved DrinkWell water fountain. Sometime in the night, the motor quit working - yes kitties, our beloved water fountain has gone to the Bridge and left us kitties bereft of its soothing splash, its wonderful taste, its purified water. We are crying here on the Black Furrball. We loved our water fountain so much - just look!! We have pictures of it in it's younger days.

Here it is beside Fagin as he begs for fresh shrimp. You see, the fountain was helping Fagin by using its relaxing sounds on Daddy as Fagin begged for FOODS! Our water fountain was a true friend.

Here it is behind Dante. Our fountain was always there for us kitites, supporting us always and providing us with wonderful, clean water. We are so sad. Mommy says she will buy us a new one, but will it ever be the same?

PS: Purrageous Mom here! I am going to get the kitties a new fountain soon. This one was given to them by Aunt Susan so I will be checking prices, etc on different models and picking out the best one. Does anyone have any fountain recommendations for me? Pretty much only the kitties use the fountain so I do not need one big enough for the cats and the dogs. Any assistance is much appreciated!!

PSS: Mommy said the interview went well yesterday and that they told her she would know if they will offer to job to her early next week. Please keep purring for her. We all really want her to get the job!!!

Thursday Thirteen

In light of Mommy being stressed and busy at work, and now stressed for her interview this afternoon as well, we have decided that for this Thursday Thirteen we will list the best places at our house to relax:

1. The back of the living room couch. This way you can lie down AND hunt birdies at the same time!
2. The top of the stairs. This way you can see what is going on all over the house and you will see enemy pirates long before they see you!
3. The big bed - as long as Mommy is there and Samwise is not!
4. The guest room bed - us kitties get it all to ourselves and there are extra blankets and pillows to sleep on top of too.
5. The back of the couch in the den - if you sleep in just the right spot, the warm air from the computer fan will blow on you.
6. Since autumn is here and winter is fast approaching, we must say in front of the fireplace after the beams build a fire.
7. On Mommy's legs as she is laying in bed either watching TV or sleeping.
8. The futon in the den - the doggies stay away and its comfy.
9. The screened in porch - you can feel the wind in your furrs, smell all of the outside smells, and hear all the birdies too
10. A sunbeam! Oh its heaven!!
11. On the kitchen table - that way you know when the FOODS are coming!
12. On Daddy while he is watching TV. You get to hang out and be all manly while not giving up any comfort.
13. Another sunbeam after you first one moves off - don'tcha just hate it when that happens?

PS: Thank you all for you good wishes for Mommy's interview. Please keep them up for as long as you can. Mommy really really wants this job!! Please and thank you!!

Wordy Wednesday

Okay Mommy, this is getting ridiculous!! You have now forgotten our pictures not 1, not 2, but 3 days in a row!! Granted you did come home from work sick yesterday with a migraine, and sure we are very sorry about that, but come on woman!! We are being neglected! Fagin and Dante just barely convinced Jack not to call the ASPCA or the police to turn you in for being a BAD MOMMY! Hendrix and Bendrix and MrsAuntHendrix is gonna think we all hated the mail that they sent to Fagin. Miss Boo and Pearl are going to think we do not love them anymore and Fagin has been very sad that he has not gotten to talk to his bestest friend Assistant Quartermaster Billy Sweetfeets. Something has got to give woman!!

How should we punish her kitties for such horrible neglect? Should we use furrball warfare? Meow at her at 2am? Run around the house like mad kitties while she is trying to sleep? Hide and make her worry that we've left her for good? What do you guys think??

PS: In better news, Mommy was called today to schedule a second interview for the job she wants. The interview is tommorow afternoon so kitties, please purr and purr that it goes well and that she gets it. We would really appreciate it lots!!!
