Happy Halloween!!

Boo!!! Happy Halloween kitties!! We are looking forward to a fun and spooky night here at the Black Furrball!! Mommy is going to be a witch and we are not sure what Daddy is dressing up as but we are sure its going to be scary!!

We were going to show you some pictures of the jack-o-latterns our humans carved but Daddy left Mommy's camera at work so you'll have to enjoy these pictures we found to set the mood!!

We got this picture to honor our friend Pat who tonight, as he does every Halloween night, will recite The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe purely from memory for our beans and friends at Aunt Susan and Uncle Dave's infamous Halloween party. Mommy may see if she can record it this year so everyone can see it. Pat does a wonderful job!!

Captain Jack will be spending Halloween with Lady Boo, Dante wants to spend the evening with Pearl and Beaux will be helping George to guard her home. Fagin says if any kitty wants to come over and PLAYPLAYPLAY for Halloween, we got plenty of treats and even some treats to share!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!

We're Back!!

Hey kitties, we are finally back! YAY!! Mommy's really stressful time is mostly over (she will have spurts of busy time but nothing like before) and she promises to help us blog more. She had intended to help us put some pictures online so you could all see that we are still healthy and hale, but unfortunately she is still feeling bad. We keep telling her that being stressed is no way to recover from feeling icky but she just did not listen. What Mommy? You have tommorow off from day hunting so that you can relax and enjoy Halloween? Very good! That means we can lay on you and make sure that you get some rest. Dante will even keep the woofies from bothering you!!


While we were gone, just look at what happened: We were Boo-ed by Captain Jack's Miss Boo!!!

Does your neighborhood have someone who starts a BOO, or a fun Ghosting each year? This is very similar, unfortunately without candy. It's fun to sneak up on people and give them a little treat! Here is how the Blogging Boo goes: Go to as many friends as you want and tell them they've been BOO-ED. Have them link back to your blog to pick up their Halloween Treat and tell them to Boo their friends. Then put the pic in your side bar so everyone knows that you've already been BOO-ED. Please check and don't BOO someone who has already been hit, so this gets spread quickly and more people can join in the fun!

Be watching your comments kitties - we are going to let Fagin Boo some people now (cause he is now bouncing up and down with excitement)!! Happy Halloween!!

Mancat Monday

All good mancats must take care of their Mommies when she is sick!! Yes kitties, we had hoped to get a real post with actual pictures up for today so you all could see how we are wasting away from Mommy's neglect - umm, we mean long working hours - but that neglect - we really do mean long working hours - has ended up with Mommy spending the entire weekend in bed with a fever and a sore throat saying she felt like she had something called the floo. So while we do not have a proper post with pictures for you today, we are happy to report that we got to lay in bed with Mommy all weekend and to make things even better she and Daddy put the magic blanket on the bed!! Do you kitties have a magic blanket? Its plugged into the wall and when a bean turns it on it gets all warm and snuggy! We love our magic blanket!!

Mommy's neglect - ummm, we mean long working hours - should end for a while on Wednesday at the latest. Please do not forget us by then! Have a great week everyone!!

Wordy Wednesday

Hey kitties, did you see the cartoon we found? We got it to show Mommy because this is how she feels right now. You see, its her absolute busiest time of year and she is getting ready to do two major presentations to a really big, important boss!! Mommy has done these type of presentations before but it's always nerve racking working up to them and actually giving them (though each one only lasts 30 minutes each) is almost panic attack inducing. Especially when you have to get up at 5am to give one of them. Anyway, because of this, Mommy is not able to help us blog as much. The good news is it will all be over with by next Wednesday but the bad news is we gotta go a whole week before the stress is over. Please know that we are thinking of you all and even visiting a lot of you, just maybe not commenting as much as we would like. We promise that we will see you soon!! Until then, we want to send our love to our friends (and special purrs to Captain Jack's Miss Boo and Dante's Pearl and Fagin's bestest buddy Billy) and ask that you not forget us!! And if you can, maybe send Mommy some "You're smart" vibes to help with her presentations! Thanks!!

Mini Mancat Monday

Hello, it is ME, Fagin, and ME have a question for you kitties - What is this "WINTER" thing and why does it get so cold? You see kitties, ME LOVELOVELOVE the screened porch. I could spent all day out there. My favorite chair and sleeping blanket is out on the porch too! Here's a picture of ME when I was just a kitten, in my favorite porch spot.

Well kitties, this weekend when Daddy woked up he opened the door to the porch for ME and BRRRRR! It was COLD!! I mean really COLD!! I ran back into the house and asked Dante why it was so cold. Did something bad happen? Did someone leave the freezer door open cause its cold in there like it was outside? Dante said its something called "Fall" and that it will get colder and colder and then something called WINTER will happen. And that WINTER is really cold. I am not sure I like this kitties. Dante said it will get TOO COLD to go out on the porch!! Is this true kitties??? ME not like the COLD!!!!

PS: Captain Jack got yelled at this weekend a lot!! Mommy kept telling him how badly he scared her and Daddy and even the whole cat blogosphere and then she would pick him up and snorgle him. We're going to let him tell you all about his adventures tommorow! Until then, look at this picture!!

You see, even the Captain likes MY BLANKET and the screened porch. I won't have to give up my blanket and porch forever will I? It will get warm again, right?????

THEY FOUND HIM!!!

Not sure what happened but he is back home and unharmed!!! THANK GOD!!!!

CAPTAIN JACK IS GONE!!!

Guys, I need you help. My cleaning lady just called and she cannot find Captain Jack anywhere!!!! He always comes out and follows her all over the house and she cannot find him. Their Dad is on his way home to look for him. Please purr and pray that Jack is okay and just hiding somewhere. Jack is an indoor only kitty and I am scared to death and stuck at work. Its raining and oh god, I hope he is okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
