Cat-mas Eve

2008-12-24T09:36:00.003-05:00

I hope my secret paws comes today -- I'm going to sit & watch for the mailman...

Mom & Dad put the tree up last night -- though they keep yelling at me when I go to taste the pretty lights --ok, ok, it's the cord that really tastes good!

ooo...hey, nobody's home..that means I won't get yelled at for tasting the tree

(Mom's note-- the tree is artificial, not real..we had a real tree his first xmas and he completely ignored, except for the water! haven't been able to get him to quit chewing on the cords, though)

SNOW

2008-12-12T23:12:00.004-05:00

Mom let me go outside tonight! She got home from shopping (gave her my secret paws assignment) and it's coming down in big white fluffy flakes. She put on my harness and I tried to get her to carry me out, but she wasn't getting the hint. Everything smells sooo different when it's cold out!

Plus, there's some kinda strange animal hanging out in the bushes in the front of the house-- not sure what, but I could smell it. So I let her think I was cold and she brought me back inside. Then I got to help her refill the hyoo-mid-eh-fyer (that's my special job). It's so neat to watch, I like watching the bubbles inside it and the water drip down...and the stuff coming out of it! How does it do that??

More later--gotta wrap up my secret paws stuff!!

PICTURES!!

2008-12-07T09:37:00.003-05:00

Mom finally got around to checking out the memory card in the camera (it fell in the toilet) and all the pics were still on it! There were a bunch she took of me for my blog on it, so they will be posted soon! (soon as she's home long enough to do it)

Still around

2008-11-16T20:33:00.003-05:00

Hi effurybody,

I'm still around, but this last year's been really depressing and I haven't been able to get Mom to let me post. First, the cam'ra thingy fell in the toilet (wasn't me!!!) and so now it doesn't always work right, haven't gotten a new one yet, either, so I'm not sure when pics will be back up. Second-- Daddy's been spending all year trying to get a new job, paws are crossed!!! He starts next week at a new job! Hopefully it will last past the holidays.

Hope to start posting more soon!

Meowy Catmas!

Secret Paws Package

2007-12-20T21:08:00.000-05:00

Wow! Thanks so much Queen Snickers and Empress! I luv it all!! -- I sent Mommy across the street tonight when she came home from work and she gotted the package from that other house.

She had to use her tiny camera (cell phone) for pictures cuz she can't find the real camera. The pics will be put up as soon as she can figure out how! (her password stuff is at werk..sheesh...) The pics will be put on Friday night or sometime Saturday.

Secret Paws

2007-12-19T07:06:00.000-05:00

Mine hasn't come yet, but Mom's done shopping fur mine assignment!! Now she just has to send it out. I hope he likes it, I know I do!! She's just not sure when she can get to the post office.

Alarm clocks-- who needs'em?

2007-11-26T20:24:00.000-05:00

I guess just people that haven't been 'dopted by us kitties...poor beans. Which is better to wake up to-- some loud music thingy or beeping or weird noise..ORRR..purrs and kisses????

I say purrs & kisses are much better! Nothin' like some individual attention is the morning-- a li'l bit of face-licking, arm-licking...and even better, we kitties don't have that snooze button thingy that Mom likes to hit efurry morning. Talk about false starts-- alarm goes off, I get excited for breakfast, then the button gits smaked...so I's just take a nap, too..then I get squished when it goes off again! I even try to get her to excercise in the morning-- I bring my mousie and she throws it..oh..hmm..that's fun more for me...oh, well...

ooo..time for night crazies!!!

Hope this works....

2007-11-25T18:31:00.000-05:00

This is a bit of a test- I've had a hard time trying to post on blogger since my last one and I'm not sure why. The page doesn't just like to load or something.

In the meantime, hope efurryone had a great Thanksgiving and now I'm waiting for my Secret Paws assignment!!!

I'M BACK

2007-11-04T18:06:00.000-05:00

Hi Efurryone!

I'm sorry it's been such a long time since I last posted, it's been a very hectic spring/summer/fall.

Dad lost his job in May and Mom's been way stressed out with efurrything being on her paycheck and worrying about paying all the bills and just not up to updating my stuff (although I tried, I really did! But she hasn't been all that interested in getting on the computer when she's home these past few months). Good news is Dad got a new job (it'll be 1 month this Friday) so they're both a bit happier now, Mom especially. She says she feels lighter now-- I'm not sure what she means, she doesn't look any lighter!-- like a burden's been lifted from her shoulders (but there's been nothing but air on them!)

Anyway, hopefully now she'll sit down when I tell her to and I can update my days.

Speaking of...there were A LOT of humans here last night! Mom was decorating the house with these white things, really neat to watch her doing and then she and Dad put on funny fur and then all the humans came over! (BUT NO LITTLE ONES! YAY!) There was lots of food and noise. Somebody was killed and they all had to figure out who-- they were accusing each other, but there was a lot of laughing going on, too-- kind of strange they were laughing so much when discussing something so serious! I went through and inspected all of them, but didn't smell anything bad like blood or anything, so I just took a nap (where I could keep an eye on efurrybody)and ignored them. Turns out DAD was the killer! Who'da thunk it? But no police came and they were all laughing and stuff. Strange humans.

But the good thing is I found my missing 'nip toys when Mom was cleaning yesterday.

still going...

2007-04-07T20:00:00.000-04:00

it's not stopping *sigh*

and the driveway's gone again....it was cleared, but the snow's not stopping...now you can't even see across the street

Who else is having snow for Easter??

Mom's threatening to put out the Christmas decorations again

More Snow

2007-04-07T17:23:00.000-04:00

The snow was allll gone! And it was even 70 degrees out one day last week. And then...on my BIRTHDAY-- (Mom was gonna let me go outside on my leash)...it did the unthinkable.

IT SNOWED AGAIN!

It's been coming down nonstop since Thursday. It was kinda fun at first, chasing snowflakes at the window (bumped my nose on it), but now *sigh*.....

It's back

2007-03-17T09:52:00.000-04:00

That snow stuff is back! It was nice and warm for 2 days and now it's back again. The ground is white and more of that snow is just coming and coming down. *sigh*

bye bye yard....bye bye driveway....bye bye..birdies?? (haven't seen any in the windows yet)

SUN!!!

2007-03-11T11:27:00.000-04:00

It's bright and sunny out and the snow's all gone! I can see the grass again...AAAAANNNDD there's birds everywhere! I've been checking out all the windows- but the best one is at the back door. There's a, well Mom says it'll be a bush in a few weeks) and there's two birds in it flying around. *sigh* But Mom says she can't be my window perch all day.

stuff

2007-03-09T06:41:00.000-05:00

I can see the yard again! and part of the driveway..it's been fascinating, watching the stuff melt and the long ice thingys by the window dripping. The snow started to go away and then we got more last week and now it's going away again.

Now there's this other kitty in the room-- I'm watching it! It's sitting on a monitor, too and mimicing me! The nerve! hmm..I wonder if it got flea-dosed, too...Mom tricked me into sitting on her lap and then she got me with the frontline again. ooo, it's getting ready to pounce! I gotta protect Mom...see ya later

SNOW DAY!!!!

2007-02-14T11:31:00.001-05:00

Happy Valentine's Day efurrybody!

My first Valentine's Day and I got my wish-- I have Mom all to myself!

She got up this morning and we're snowed in! (at least until the snowplow comes to do the driveway around 4 this afternoon-- that thing is cool!) The tire tracks from when Dad left for Work (he got stuck in the driveway, too) were completely gone by 7:45am (he leaves at 5:45). So Mom called her Work and said she can't come in and then the fun started. She put on my harness and then went outside to check it out--well, she tried to get out- finally did. Then came back in and put on my leash and I got to go OUT!!!!!! It was cold, wet and very windy-- I didn't stay out for too long. I told her to take a lot of pictures and she did-- if you click on the picture below, it will go the album in photobucket. (If it doesn't work, let me know and I will post them individually).

Photobucket Album

Secret Paws

2006-12-19T11:21:00.000-05:00

Mom's working on getting my Secret Paws together and sending it out, but she can't find the camera, so she wasn't able to get any pics of me helping!

It came!!!!

2006-12-13T07:26:00.000-05:00

It came, it came!! My secret paws came!!

Ok, Mom, you took a picture.....now can I open it?

It's from Beau Beau and Angie!

It says "Dear Nemo, Heer am yur secret paws gifts. Hope u like da nip bag. Love, Beau Beau & Angie"...nip bag??? oooooooo!!!

mmmmm, the letter smells like nip......

oh, wow-- my favorite treats, Feline Greenies...ooo, and a sample of Temptations..and a mouse, a bright green ball, a fuzzy thingy and.....a NIP BAG!!!

mmmmm.......nip!

ooo, I love the green ball! It shmells like nip, too!

ohh, the fuzzy thingy has rabbit fur!! I looooooove rabitshh fur! (mom had a rabbit skin she had to hide from me)

mmpphhh!

Hey, wasn't there a moush in the packgash, too? oh well, I'll find it later *siiiiiiiiiiigh* nip!

Bear! looky! thish is the beshtest shtuff in da world! NIP!

Mom, pleash! Enuff wif da flashy thingy already, I'm bonding wif da nip!

FANKSH SO MUCH BEAU BEAU & ANGIE!!!! I LOOOVE THE NIP!!! (hmmm, maybe I shuld shleep dish shtuff off so's I can tell what I'm shaying)

And the temptations are good, too!

(Mom took more pictures, but I'm not sure how to link the photobucket album...if you can help, I'll put it up)

They brought me a tree!

2006-12-08T23:20:00.000-05:00

(I figured out why pics wouldn't biggify on my post when clicking on them and told Mom what to do- so starting with this post, all my pics can be biggified if you click on them.)

Look! Mom and Dad won't let me go outside, so they brought me a tree of my very own!!

mmmmm! It smells sooo good- like the Outside.

Kinda prickly, but it tastes real good!

still inspecting....

can you find me? (ok to biggify)

Yesterday Dad put these sparkly-thingies on it.

hmmm...which sparkly-thing should I taste first?

My new favorite spot is under the tree by the wall- I can see efurrything from there but they can't get me.

What do you mean the tree isn't for me? And I can't eat the sparkly things??!! But I've been nibbling on the tree all week! And trying to taste the sparkly-things, but whenever I do, I get hit with water- maybe it's the tree spitting at me? Funny, though, it only happens when Mom and Dad are in the room with me.

It's a Krismus tree? Fur efurrybody?

Can I still nibble on it?

Tummy Tuesday

2006-12-06T07:22:00.000-05:00

I finally have a Tummy Tuesday picture!! Mom snapped it last night before bedtime-- I held her cell phone captive until she did it.

Still here

2006-12-05T07:47:00.001-05:00

The white stuff is still here!

And there's more of it coming down-- big white ones and little white ones...I sure wish I could go out and chase some of them!

Look, it's doing that snow stuff!!

2006-12-04T07:53:00.001-05:00

There's big white, fluffy stuff coming down (they didn't show up in the picture) that looks like it would be fun to chase.

Wheel of Fortune

2006-12-03T12:01:00.001-05:00

This was fun, Zeus! Dad and I are both Wheel of Fortune and Mom's the Empress

You are The Wheel of Fortune

Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of
intoxication with success

The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

2006-12-02T08:29:00.000-05:00

Ooo, it's my secret paws assignment!

(oops, I goofed..the humming thing spit out the secret paws after that sheet)

Oh, yes..I has to apologize for not blogging a lot-- Mom and Dad have been gone efurry night and coming back really late. When I look at them all soulful eyed, they just say they're sorry they can't stay and play, but they have to leave cuz they're in "Nuncrackers". I don't know what it is, but I'll be glad when it's over and they're home again on the weekend!! (It started last week, that's why they were gone..for...re-hers-ul before it opened.)

Secret Paws

2006-12-01T14:21:00.000-05:00

I got my Secret Paws assignment yesterday, I'm soooo excited!

I'm thankful for.....

2006-11-25T09:15:00.000-05:00

1. My mom and dad who love me and gave me a home

2. Bottlecaps to play with

3. Food!

4. Birds and squirrels to watch in the window

and....most of all......

The Blurpy thing is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!
(more on this later tommorrow, no one's home today for me to use the computer)

update

2006-11-23T14:47:00.000-05:00

strange stuff going on around here....the TV was on earlier for something called "Macy's Parade"-- it was fun chasing the big yellow bird on the screen! Then stuff got moved in the living room and mom started cleaning!!-- I found my missing bottle-caps when she was doing that..but then the carpet monster came on and of course I went down to the basement where it couldn't get me and played. Now mom is peeling some things called potatoes and people are supposed to be coming over later......I will try to do more updates!!

Thanksgiving

2006-11-23T08:15:00.000-05:00

Mom let me go outside and get the paper!!! It's furry cold out right now and there's this white stuff on efurrything-- what's that? Oh.....Mom says it's called "frost". I had to stop and investigate of course, this frost stuff is kinda wet but it makes efurrything smell different and sound different, too. Wow, this day is starting out great! Gotta go eat some breakfast now, I'll try to post again later today, but if not...Happy Thanksgiving!

window problem

2006-11-13T07:25:00.001-05:00

See the red box? That's my window-seat. Normally, it's against the window, but lately Dad has been snatching it to use as a foot-rest because "that's what an Otto-Man is for" and then later Mom has to put it back by the window. But now there's something new...
it was like that overnight..for the adhesive to stick better...

then this foam was put on top of it, which I promptly took a bite to taste it.
(if you click on the picture to biggify, you can see the corner I bit and the piece of foam in my mouth......that Mom took from me *sigh* how's a guy supposed to learn anything?)

then a cover was put on it and I was dropped onto the cover (it's sheepskin)

Ok, ok, I'm sitting on it! Can you put away the flash-box??

Then I wouldn't stay on it, so Mom tossed my Bear to get me up there...

which I promptly took off and put on the couch and I settled on the floor underneath...

Then she tossed Bear up there again!

*sigh* I like my Otto-man...not sure about the new seat..plus, now I can feel the cold air thru the glass.

zzzzzzz.....

Last present

2006-11-05T17:46:00.001-05:00

This is the last present I got from Mom & Dad's trip (abandonment)...I was excited at first because it had a mouse on it! ooo, goody, something to chase! And it says "Walt Disney World" on it. If they've got mice, I wanna go next time!

Here I am checking it out...

then I thought it was a string toy- so I started chewing on it.

They tricked me!!! I'm not wearing nuffin'! Nope, no how, no way get it off!! (I was still chewing on the strings)

*sigh* ooo, there's somethin' at the window

stupid....dang....thing....but at least I can still reach the string to chew it!

ooo, hey, look at the birds outside!

Hat? I don't care what it's called, you're not getting it on my head-- and so far, they haven't. They can put it 'round my neck, but I'm not letting it on my head! Nuffin's gettin' put on my ears!

Leaf day

2006-11-05T10:13:00.000-05:00

Yesterday was furry fun. Mom put on a show for me and I watched from the back and front windows- she made all the leaves move!! She had this noise-thingy and blew all the leaves into piles in the back and then in the front yard moved them all the way to the street! (not on the street) It was furry interesting to watch-- noisy, but fun.

And today, Dad went outside, too. He had this biiig blue thing that he put on the ground and then stood on it and then Mom had the leaf-blower and blew all the leaves in the backyard onto it and then Dad took it up front to dump with the other leaves by the road. This went on several times and was great fun to watch.

White outside

2006-11-03T07:20:00.000-05:00

Something happened last night-- it's cold sitting in the window now and outside it's all white! Mom says it's this 'snow' stuff efurryone talks about (she also said something 'bout puttin' on a leash and lettin' me try it out...I'm not sure about that). The other day was real neat-- things were blowing all ofur the place! I kept jumping on the window trying to chase stuff, but none of it came in. The trees on our street lost all their fur (well, mostly..the one in our yard still has lots of leaves on it).

Some more catching up-- I got presents when Mom & Dad came back after their vacation (aka, "The Abandonment"). One was a new mat for my food dishes, here's a picture below. (click to biggify)

I'm not sure about the kitty with the biiiig smile, he's kinda freaky.

Then there's this thing-- I don't think I'm supposed to know about it yet- somethin' coming up soon called "Christmas"...but I smelled catnip!

Now Mom'n'Dad are talking about something called 'Thanksgiving'-- and there's a lot of food involved! That sounds like a furry good thing to me!

And I will try to get my beans to put their funny fur back on, maybe they will be in a silly mood this weekend and if I use my "kitten look" they won't be able to resist! hmm..purring would 'probly help, too.

Oh-- and isn't it annoying that the "remember me" for the sign in doesn't actually work!! (except when posting pics with picasa)

2006-10-31T21:38:00.000-05:00

Well, tonight was interesting. There was a pumpkin on my window seat (I finally moved it over so I could sit in the window) that was blinking and Mom & Dad were outside!! *sigh* I wish I could go outside. All these beans with their small beans kept coming up the driveway and to our door where Mom & Dad were sitting. And they all had funny fur! Even Mom & Dad-- and when the little beans came up, they were carrying bags that they opened & Mom & Dad put stuff in them!

I wonder....would that work for me? If I could get outside and just go up to people, would they give me treats?

And too bad I don't know where Mom put the flashy box-- I could've gotten back at her for the embarrasin' picture from the other day. *sigh* oooooo! she's sitting on the couch...snuggle time!!

Happy Halloween, efurryone!

Happy Halloween!

2006-10-31T07:43:00.001-05:00

Here are some strange kitties that showed up at my house a couple weeks ago...

I had to check them out.......

nope..it's not a real-live kitty.

Anybody want a fortune told? Oh, it's a witch-kitty?

This one is shy and just stays on the stair corner

This one I'm not sure about...I think it's in cahoots with the strange kitty from the party a few months ago..

What's this trick-or-treat thing I keep hearing about?

Surgery = Presents!

2006-10-30T06:39:00.000-05:00

Sorry I haven't been around-- I've been reading blogs, but not in the mood to blog. I was recovering from surgery last week (what am I now? am I still a guy?) and Mom said I was overdue cuz I've been acting horny lately. What does she mean by that? I'm a cat, I don't have horns, I have paws & fur! Silly humans. But now I'm feeling like myself again. But I guess I'm pretty healthy, according to the V.E.T. (I really don't like that place now!)-- and I'm 7 pounds, 10 ounces (or I was when they weighed me) and I'll be 8 months old this Saturday (Nov. 4).

Anyway........George (from the Crew) is gonna be jealous-- I got a new litterbox!! Mom says it's cuz I've gotten big and the dome was getting too short for me. Oh..and she wanted to keep an eye on me last week before she got the new one. But I got it yesterday.

Here I am checking it out- Mom says she likes this better, the liner is actually easier to put in than my other one- there's clips to slip the edge of the liner into so it stays put.

Mooooooom! Sheesh, can't a guy go in peace? It's not finished yet? So what? I gotta go!
(I just love jumping in fresh litter)

Ssooooo much better than newspaper!

This makes a good hiding place!
(don't worry, Mom scooped it out before I sat there)

This is what it looks like put together. The steps are s'posed to help with keeping litter off the floor around my litterbox..but that's only if I use them- I can still hop out!

I have lots more pictures to post and get efurrybody caught up on- but now that I'm feeling better that shouldn't be too hard. Oh- and this weird thing called "Halloween".

On another note- I think I like the beta blogger (thanks for the help, DaisyMae!) and Picasa works with it, too! It'll let you change the size of your photos each time-- but it makes you login each time, too. So if you notice anything funny, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Pictures

2006-10-17T07:22:00.000-04:00

Yay! Pictures are loading again! Here's one of me sitting in a window at Gran'ma's apartment.

And here's me'n'Henry

Here we are again- if you look close, you can see dark stripes on him, so he's a sorta tabby and not all gray (or click on the picture for a bigger image)

Now that it's working again- more pictures will be posted later this week. Gotta go chase the raindrops on the windows!!!

Oh- has anyone switched to the new beta thingy?

Ordeal over

2006-10-14T08:59:00.000-04:00

Mom's trying to post pictures, but the computer won't cooperate. Picasa is furry furry slow and then there's something at the bottom saying a LAN cable is unplugged, but she's checked efurrywhere and nothing's unplugged! She thinks that might be the problem. Or is it that new beta-thing that blogger wants us to switch over? Has anyone done that yet? Is it better?

Anyway-- when I was back home that Sunday (Oct. 1), I was so excited, I ran around checking efurrything out. And then I slept all night. First on Mom's lap. Then the floor. Then Dad's lap. Then the floor. Then Mom's lap. Then Dad's lap. Then my blanket on the couch. Then the floor. Then the bed. Then it was the next day. Dad came home from work first and I greeted him with purrs'n'stuff, he seemed really pleased and did some hugging & petting, too. Mom came home later and I met her at the door with purrs and leg-rubbing.

Then I got presents!!!! I got a new floor mat for my food dishes and a catnip toy (Mom has it in the closet until she can figure out where to hang it). And...a....hat. -- more on that later.
Ohhhhh and one other thing about Gran'ma -- she's a 'nip enabler!!!! A couple times she would spread some catnip on the floor and Henry'n'me would roll alll over! *fond sighhhhhhhhhhh*
And Mom'n'Dad have been talking about getting me fixed next week. What do they mean by that? I don't need to be fixed, I'm a cat!!!!

The Ordeal

2006-10-12T07:19:00.000-04:00

Day 1:
Strange stuff going on. The red boxes are getting stuffed with clothes and....oh, goody! Car ride! A bit suspicious because the carrier (aka prisoner transport system or pts) is in the car-- the car is stopped. Oh, no! I don't want to go in the carrier, we're at the "Pet-smart" place-- bad stuff happens there! Sure enough, I was taken to a strange room where this person CUT MY CLAWS!!!! I tried huddling, but they pulled me out...so I just worked with looking scared. Strangely, that's all that happened this time- no shots!! Yay!! Then we went back to the car and home. And THEN-- MOM STARTED PACKING ALL MY STUFF!!!! All my toys got put in a box and my food dishes and then my litter box! And then we took a really really really long car ride. It was fun at first, then I started getting anxious and then we parked in some strange place and Mom took some of my stuff and left me alone in the car. She put the car right under a tree, though, so I got to watch the birds. Finally, she came out and got me and stuffed me in the pts and went into a new place filled with strange smells. Mom put me in a small room that had all my stuff set up in it and opened the door to the pts and let me out. I slowly came out, checked the food dishes and went under the bed. Mom and the strange lady (whom I now know is Gran'ma) shut the door and left me alone. That was ok for a while, then I got tired of being shut up and started to meowing to let them know. Mom let me out and I got to explore this place! (gran'ma's apartment)-- it's smaller than home, but I love the windows! They're even with the ground so everything's at eye level. I went sniffing and 'sploring and feeling more comfortable and then it happened. Mom left me there! (aka, I was abandoned). I was so shocked I didn't know what to do, I went back to my room and moped the rest of the night. The strange lady came in and I hissed at her- this was MY room now cuz all my stuff was in it.
Day 2:
There's another cat in here, I can smell him efurrywhere. The strange lady, who told me she's my Gran'ma, let me out for the whole day cuz the other kitty had to go someplace.
Day 3:
The other kitty's back. Gran'ma lets me out for a while, then shuts me in my room and lets the other kitty out. We've been sniffing each other all ofur the apartment and doing the sniffing-paw thing at the doors, but we haven't met yet.
Day 4:
Gran'ma opened the door and we saw each other! We hissed'n'growled. *sigh* She closed the door.
Day 5:
She opened the door again and we saw each other and fought for 5 hours!! There was a lot of chasing, hissing & growling and in the end we were too tired. I was under a table panting and he was under a chair panting. So we called it a draw. His name is Henry and he's gray. But if you look closely he's a tabby like me, he's got dark gray stripes that you can see if the light's right. Oh, and Gran'ma also told us that we're brofurs.
Day 6-?:
We're bestest buds now. We play all day long and have competitions'n'stuff. Like eating-- he starts eating, so I do, and then we see who gets stuffed first (that's the loser-- the winner is the one who eats the most). And he grooms my hard-to-reach places and I groom his hard-to-reach places and we sleep on Gran'ma together. And I taught him to jump on the counter-- Gran'ma's place sure is different than home! At home, I have to jump on the counter cuz that's where the window is. Turns out at Gran'ma's there's just a wall...but since I jumped up there, so did he. After many nappings'n'stuff, this strange lady came in-- her voice sounded funny and she kept making weird noises into a white cloth at her face (those are fun to play with, too!). She also had a camera with her-- here's a picture of me 'n' Henry at the window. If you look closely, you can kinda see his dark stripes. um..well...having posting problems, will try the picture later. And she kept calling me "baby"...her voice sounded kinda familiar. Then my stuff got packed up and I was taken to another car. And we took off. I was meowing loudly to let this lady know that I didn't like being taken from my brofu and I had been purfectly happy at that place! This went on for a while..then I started sniffing the car. I knew this! Then I remembered-- this was Mom!! I was so happy!! I sat in her lap purring the whole trip and stood up for the occasional face lick. The ride was taking fur-ever, I just couldn't wait to get home..and then I didn't feel so good. I got up and went to the back on Mom's poncho and...had an accident. It was really stinky in the car! Luckily, we were only 2 minutes from home, but she didn't blame me for it. oops...I will have to finish this later!

I'M BACK!!

2006-10-12T07:10:00.000-04:00

Hey efurrybody, I'm back! And my teeth are all grown in, so I can talk normal again! Sorry it took so long to post, but there was a problem with the internet connection and it was SLOW and the phone wouldn't ring when people called, just a busy signal. (turns out someone had left a phone off the hook-- why did they look at me?? Why do they just assume that because there's a nice, dangly cord thingy hanging that I'm the one who did it?)

Nemo update

2006-09-20T22:01:00.000-04:00

Nemo is at his grandmeow's and is missing Mom & Dad. Last update from grandmeow (his Dad's mom) is that he was sitting in her room on his blanket (from our house) cuddling his Bear and looking pitiful. Thankfully, he's not refusing to eat or anything like that, just moping right now. He had a really big day and will probably tell all his friends about it when he gets back.

First we went to PetSmart and got his nails trimmed and then he got some catnip for his toys (he tried to get in the catnip during the car trip) and some Feline Greenies that he loves.

He did really well in the car trip, mostly sat in the back window watching cars go by. Then he got a little anxious (it was a 45min drive) and moved up front to sit in the seat; batted at the rain on the window, did some nuzzling, then moved to the back window again. He only meowed one time the whole trip. Then at "Grandma's", we set up all his stuff in a room and then moved him in. We kept him in that room while we ate late lunch and then heard him meowing and opened the door to let him explore her apartment. Grandma's cat (one of his littermates) was kept in a separate room the whole time (he gets the snip-operation tommorrow). And Nemo seemed to be getting a bit more comfortable-- he certainly likes her windows! Her apartment is on the bottom floor so her windows are even with the ground. She let Henry (her cat) out later, but kept Nemo shut in his room, so they have sniffed each other's scent in the apartment, but it will probably be Saturday or Sunday before they meet, seeing as Henry is having surgery tommorrow. We did some cuddling and then waved bye.

We're missing him already! It was strange packing tonight without the little guy running around in everything. We will be picking him up and bringing him home sometime on Oct. 1. So, no posting until then! Nemo will be doing a LOT of catching up on blogging when he gets back.

going away

2006-09-19T20:08:00.000-04:00

No teef!

2006-08-24T19:58:00.000-04:00

My front teef are gone! I haf no fangs now-- the top 'n'bottom ones are all gone. Mom tried to get a picshure so's I could show efurryone, but she couldn't take it quick enuff. She says new ones will grow in. I hope so!

She keeps talkin' about calling a V-E-T to talk 'bout my chewing problem. What problem? Can I help it if I like her arm best? She's tried to get me to stop by distractin' me- but the toys only work 'til they stop moving, then I jump back up. Dunno why she's so mad-- I don't use my claws! And I haf no fangs! And then she growled at me! Can you belief it? Momma growled at me! So I looked all sorry and licked her and 'pologized. And then I went back to bitin' her arm- and she growled again, but since she didn't bite me, I knows I was ok. But then the growlin' gets mad- but I just keeps my mouf on her arm anyway.
And then- to make it worse...she puts something called Viks Vapo-Rub on her arm! Whhheeeeewwww! It's stinky! It's kitty-repellant or something. It's not like I do it all the time, just for a bit efurry night. What's so bad about that?

oh..she says her arms look like she's been slicing them or something....

can I help it? ooooh, gotta go back to biting!

Tuna

2006-08-17T22:19:00.000-04:00

Tuna water. Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmm!!!!!

Aliens didn't get me! (yet)

2006-08-15T20:44:00.000-04:00

I'm still here, I didn't go anywhere! The room upstairs wif the computer has been furry hot the past few weeks and hard to sit up there fur long enuff to write. But the heat has finally broken!!! Mom actually turned off the air-cooler this weekend and, here's the best part-- OPENED WINDOWS ALL OVER THE HOUSE!!! For 3 days!!! One window in efurry room, it was hard to choose which one to sit in!! So I know I have a lot of catching up to do.

Aliens didn't get me, but we might have gotten one in our house. It was here after all the people left.

Freaky, isn't it?

Maybe they're trying to replace me?

I mean, maybe it's an alien replacement or something- it even looks like me! Although it isn't moving..maybe it hasn't been animated yet? Are they gonna abduct me and then bring it to life?? Like..like..frankenfurstein???

hmm...what's it looking at?
What? What's down there that's so interesting? The pod transfer??
Is it gonna come up through the floor?

Where're the aliens?? C'mon...speak!! Or...is it alien goo..black stuff? Ooze?

I don't see anything.

This is stupid. Nothin's there except the carpet.
Maybe Mom's right and I've been watching too much X-Files. That's it!! I'll go call Mulder! Maybe he can help!

**hehe, go ahead and try, kitty, go ahead and try**

Invasion! (led by Moses' blurpy thing)

2006-07-30T20:34:00.000-04:00

We were invaded yesterday! The day had been going along normally until the afternoon. That's what it started to get strange. My turbo-scratcher, feather toys and the big chair got moved into a corner of the living room and then new things came and got put in the room.

Then Dad picked up these funny-smelling things, put them to his mouth and blew them up! They were funny-shaped balls and fun to bat around. It would float in the air and I hit it with my paws and chase it and even picked it up in my mouth! Then it got stuck on the stairs and I went to pick it up again and it rolled and I bit down and there was a loud boom and it disappeared!

Then the door banged and Gran'ma came in (she 'dopted one of my brofurs) and her bag smelled good! Here I am inspectin' it.

It smelled like catnip, but there wasn't any in it.

And then.....the INVASION started! It was awful!

First came Moses' Mom and Dad.
AND THEY BROUGHT THE BLURPY THING!!!

That wasn't too bad, but then they took the blurpy thing out and let it go free! And then they brought it up to me to sniff, but it started smiling and grabbing me. If that wasn't bad enough, they got the feather toy to show off my athleticism (it was feathers, I couldn't resist) and the blurpy thing started making weird noises. They said it was laughing. Every time I ran by it, it laughed. Good thing it couldn't actually move, it just lay there on the floor wiggling.
It was pure torture, too and I let my displeasure be known. For the furst time ever, I moaned & growled!! (all I did at the v.e.t. was a tiny hiss).
And you should have smelled the blurpy thing! eeeyyyuuuuu! Hasn't someone given it odor-control litter? I love my Fresh Step (it's fun to play in, too)
And the stuff coming out of it's mouth-- disgusting, drooling...like a dog! (hmmm...any relation?)
I made sure to stay on the far end of the room from the blurpy thing, but they kept carrying it around so it would make those funny noises when it saw me.

Then the invasion continued and more humans arrived! My offur Gran'ma and Gran'pa-- from Catawba (They're owned by 3 kitties) and they brought food with them. And more humans kept coming! Mom told me I could go upstairs on the bed, but there was too many people! She got Bear and then picked me up and took me upstairs (why go myself when I can get carried?) where it was quiet. I sat up for a while listening to all the noise and finally took a nap with Bear.

- All the people. Mom's in the white shirt.
- the horrid blurpy thing, but Moses' Mom and Dad were okay.

Turns out it was a party for Mom's birthday.

It seemed like furr-ever, but finally the humans started leaving until only me, Mom, Dad, Moses' Mom & Dad and the blurpy thing were left. I decided it was safe to come downstairs. They all started playing something called, "Imagine If"-- and I kept hearing my name during it!
Luckily, the blurpy thing stayed in Moses' Mom's lap so it was safe for me to play with my stuff.

And, I discovered I like cake icing. And cantelope!

I'll post more about it later, but I'm still worn out from yesterday. And today I got another dose of Frontline, so I've been scratching off a coupla dead fleas. But I also got something new! Mom got me a treat called, Cat Greenies-- fish-flavored!! yummyyy!!!!

I don't think I like blurpy things.

So I took it out on the monkey.

Purrfday!

2006-07-28T23:25:00.000-04:00

Today was Mom's purrfday and Dad and I were busy. Dad came home from work and we took a car ride!! We picked up Mom's present and then went through a car wash! That was not fun!! It was loud and noisy and dark. Big flappers hitting the windows and the big roller at the end. I was so glad when it was over! Then we waited and waited for Mom to come home from work.

See the purrty peach flowers Dad got. He said they're roses.

They smell nice, too!

I'm not eating it! I'm re-arrang..re-doing it...the leaf fell out.
Honest!

This is Mom's other present. A funny monkey.

It's made of the same stuff as Bear and the soft plushy cover on Mom & Dad's bed..it's yummy. hmmm...that looks good next to Bear..ooo, I can't resist..velour(?)

Mom says thanks for all the purrfday wishes!

Bear

2006-07-27T23:22:00.000-04:00

I'm so glad my bear came back, I luv my bear!! uh oh, I gotta make this quick-- it's thunder-rumbling again- I'm not allowed on the computer when it's rumbling and flashing.

Here I am bringing Bear back to my corner of the couch.

Then I hafta "ignore" him as punishment for going missing for so long, he has to learn to behave.

I missed you, Bear! Don't disappear again, I was worried about you!

I'll try to think up a song for Derby's challenge, but I don't know that many tunes yet...ooo, can I sing one 'bout my Mom? Would that be ok? Her purfday's tommorrow (friday)!

Lotta rumbling and flashing going on, so will have to wait til later to get back on the computer.

'Night!

Found!!

2006-07-26T10:29:00.001-04:00

Yay! I found my bear!!!

Ok, Dad actually found it when he wuz pulling laundry from under the bed. I forgot it was there!
We had a happy reunion last night and now I don't let him out of my sight, I've been carrying Bear around everywhere I go so I don't lose him again. It was really lonely the past week without Bear to play with, I'm glad Dad found him.

Now that I have him back again I can relax and work on Derby's song challenge.

yucky weather

2006-07-25T10:06:00.000-04:00

What happened to the weather? It was soooo nice and COOL on Sunday!! It was in the 70s and the humidity was gone and it was sunny and nice.

Now....the humidity's back. and it's s'posed to rain again. yuck.

the girl with the case came back again last night! Mom didn't load the pic from the camera yet, so I hafta wait 'til she gets home from work today.

now for bad news-- I lost my bear!! I was playing with it last week and it disappeared. I can't remember where I left it and I've been looking all over the place!

Cool down

2006-07-22T16:06:00.000-04:00

It's been furry hot & humid all week long and the a/c has been on, but it's still been muggy in the house and then....

I found a new way to stay cool this week-- the fridgerator!!

I don't wanna come out, I like it in here!

do I hafta come out? pleeeease can I stay in here?

hey, why does the light go out when you close the door?

ok, ok, I'm coming...sheesh!

I'll just mess up your camera shot, Mom.

strangers came back

2006-07-19T07:30:00.000-04:00

Here I am, bunny-watching (if you click on the picture for a bigger image, you'll be able to see it better)

The bunny is the little brown spot on the right side of the picture (where my head is pointing in the picture on the right)

Here's a close-up of it!

And the strangers that were here last week came back yesterday!! The man stayed outside reading a book this time, but the girl with case went with Mom in the noise-maker room. And those sounds came from there again! The door was closed so I couldn't investigate and don't know what was making those sounds, so I just stood watch in the hallway. After a while, Mom and the girl-with-the-case came out again and she and the Man left.

This is the case the girl brings with her.

"complete" litter box

2006-07-17T23:44:00.000-04:00

This is what my litter box looks like when it's all put together. Mom says it's called a "Booda Dome", whatever that means. I just like to jump in the fresh litter and mess around so Mom has to scoop it off the floor before she puts the lid on. And the white thingy is an "odor fan"- I like to chew on the cord. Sometimes I"ll even unplug it and then it swings back'n'forth in the air- even more fun!

But what's even better -- it's huge fun for sneak attacks!!

Sunday chores

2006-07-17T07:35:00.000-04:00

Helping clean my litter box

Inspecting the litter-locker

wow, that's a lotta poop! looks like it's full- time to empty it in the garbage.
all that's from li'l ol' me?

inspecting the fresh litter....smells good!

now the dirty stuff is done-- lunchtime!

What's the next chore?

Hi Dad!!

trimming the hedges...

don't forget the ones on the other side!

Man, that was hot work! Dad and I had a long, cool drink after trimming the hedges. Then I helped Momma with the the loud carpet monster. (ok, I watched from a safe distance)

Man, that was a lot of work today, I'm bushed.

not feeling good

2006-07-14T14:19:00.000-04:00

I got taken to the bad place last night -- called "Petsmart". I don't like that place- every time I get taken there stuff happens.

I get prodded and poked. The V-E-T person just picks me up and looks at my ears'n'stuff....but then she leaves. Then the bad stuff happens.

I tried to hide under Momma's shirt so the other two wouldn't be able to get me, but they found me.....I hissed! But they just smiled and poured yellow yucky-stuff in my mouth. I spit it out the first time. Then they did it again, but some of it dripped onto my legs, which they wiped off. I tried to go back in my kennel cuz I thought they were done, but they stuck something sharp in my leg! TWICE! I don't have rabies, why do I need a shot?? And they still weren't done!! Then they put some wet, smelly stuff on my head (they said it's for fleas).

I crawled back into my kennel and huddled in the back. Momma tried giving me my bear, but it didn't help.

We started to leave, but then she went into this new room! There was a big person with a nice voice and she picked me up-- but I was quiet cuz I could smell woofers! There was also a woofer in the room, but it didn't see me. The big lady- grabbed my paws and she clipped my nails! I was so shocked I couldn't do anything (although it didn't hurt). Then I was put back in my kennel and the lady said she would watch me and Momma left!! It seemed like she was gone fur-ever but she finally came back and said we could go cuz everything was paid for. She also said it was the last time I'd have to go there, that I'm done until next year. yay! That's next year...next year I'll hide or something..I have time to plan.

I let Momma know I wanted to go home but I guess we could only go so fast. Finally we were home and she had a treat for me cuz I was a good kitty (good..more like petrified!). Something called "Pounce"...tuna flavored. She put some in my food dish....but I didn't eat it until later that night when I was feeling better.

hmm...I have to remember the "poor, scared face" -- guilt is good!!!!

strangers!

2006-07-12T15:09:00.000-04:00

Strangers came to my house last night. 2 humans - a big tall man and a smaller one (a girl) carrying a black case. I immediately started the inspection -- they smelled ok, lotsa different scents, but definitely animal people.

The tall man sat down in Dad's chair and read a book the whole time while the girl and Momma went into the room with the noisemakers and closed the door.

Strange sounds came out of the noisemaker room. Sorta like the sounds when Dad is sitting at the thing with the black & white buttons and his fingers press them, but different-- higher pitched and..just...different.

Since I couldn't go in there and observe, I decided to stay in the living room and keep an eye on the strange man. I wasn't quite sure what to make of him so I sat quietly on the foot-rest and watched him the whole time. He just sat there and read a book. He didn't seem to mind it when I nibbled at his shoelaces and he even pet me once! But it was really nerve-wracking.

I was so relieved when Momma finally came back! She seemed surprised that I "behaved" - whatever that means. She talked with the man for a few minutes and then the man and the girl left.

Whew! All that watching was nerve-wracking so I had to release it somehow. "Spaz-kitty" made an appearance after that. *grins*

wait a minute- I just remembered...Momma said something about "see you next week" -- I have to go through this again??

grounded

2006-07-09T14:55:00.000-04:00

No catnip for a week!

all just because I snuck outside...but Momma says that outside isn't nice and there's lots of scary things for little kitties like me. I didn't see any!

she also said somethin' 'bout a flea spray or flea bath from a V-E-T this week if I got anything from when I went out. or something called frontline.

bath. I don't like the sound of that.

Outside

2006-07-09T12:33:00.000-04:00

I got out!!! Made a break for it this morning...those big green hedge-thingys make me sneeze, though. And the grass was wet. The birds were too high up. Momma quit calling for me and I think she left, so I came out and hid under the neighbor's red car.

It was so cool! All the smells in the air and then I heard a woofer. Then Momma came back and saw me, but I was too smart. I just stayed there under the car and stared at her while she uselessy called me. And then her hand came from behind her back--

she had my bear!!!

I love my bear! I looked at him but she didn't seem to be mistreating him, so I stayed where I was. But then she started shaking him and I got worried.....stupid, stupid! I was so worried about my bear that I forgot and slowly came forward to make sure he was ok (I was gonna grab him and go back under the car) and then she scooped me up and brought me back inside.

I begged and begged Momma, but she wouldn't let me back out, says I'm an "indoor kitty".
but it smelled so WONDERFUL out there!

so..as revenge...I'm running around the house like a crazy kitty...ha!...and attacke the newspaper so she couldn't read it...ha!..

uh oh...what does "grounded" mean?

Look what I did!

2006-07-05T23:33:00.000-04:00

I had to patrol a couple weeks ago....seems there's a strange kitty trying to take my guard spot by the door at the top of the stairs. Well of course I had to check it out...

Now you see it.....

Now you don't...that's what you get for trying to take my spot!
hmm...maybe I should check out those other creatures...

Ha! Sucker! This is my spot!

well, the weird pink ones seem harmless, why does the one keep smiling at me? It likes being knocked around?

uffff! It's too tall...oh, well, it doesn't seem to be a real kitty-- no threat here.

Ha ha! I did it!! And he's much bigger'n'me, too!
(the black blob is my tail, it got in the way when I took this pic.)

I showed him who's boss!

Awww, Mom, now I have to do it all over again!

Happy Independence Day!

2006-07-04T10:19:00.000-04:00

Hope everyone has a furry good 4th of July today! Momma told me the whole story about why we celebrate it, but I like it cuz it means she's home all day for snuggles!

Last night there was loud rain and lots flashes and rumblies and was fun to watch from the window, but even more fun with purry-snuggles in bed with Momma. And to show my 'prec-e-a-shun that she wasn't scared, she got a kitty-facial! (except the forehead, I don't like foreheads). Momma said she's glad I'm not a storm scaredy-cat-- what's to be scared of? They're exciting to watch! ...as long as the rain stays outside, of course!

ohhhh, that's where I left it!...there's the nip toy....nipnipnipnipnipnip
nipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnipnip

catnip!!

2006-07-03T09:14:00.000-04:00

I got a new toy yesterday! And it's full of wunnerful, sshmelly sshtuff called catnip! ooooooooo!
Momma said she thought I was old enough to try it but Dad said it made me even more hyper, whatever that means, so I only had it for a little bit.....but several times!! ooooooo!!!

Aaaannnd.....last nite Momma took me outside!! She didn't put down, I had to stay in her arms the whole time, but she & Dad showed me these little blinky bugs called fireflies! I don't know why they're called that, they didn't look like they were burning. Dad also said they're called lightning bugs, but I didn't hear any rumblies with them. Silly humans. I'll just call them blinky bugs.

Don't like water!

2006-07-01T15:30:00.000-04:00

This is not a good weekend yet. It happened again today, but not in the whoosher- it was in the big white water bowl! It's usually empty and Momma will put a ball in there for me to play with but not this morning.

Nooooooooo.

This morning it got filled up and she was sitting in it! *shudder* voluntarily! I admit I jumped on the edge and peeked over but I wasn't goin' in! There was drops coming from the faucet, but I couldn't reach. So I was playing with the shower curtain and fell in! That was scary! Splashin' and tryin' to get out. Momma came after me with a towel to dry me off, but I wasn't having any of it, my tongue works just fine, thank you!

And then...just to make the morning worse-- something felled off the table and spilled my water bowl! When I was trying to drink from it! Momma took my mat outside so it could dry and refilled my dish.

So as payback I've been running around like a crazy cat all day....but that's tiring...I'm gonna take a nap now- it'll be quiet cuz Momma & Dad are leaving to go see Sooperman...that's stupid. Why would you want to see a Sooperman when they've got a Sooper-kitten at home? Oh, well..
zzzzzzzzzzzz

Auuughh!

It happened again!! Momma went into the bathroom this morning and I followed her in and super-speeded up to jump to the window using the fuzzy cover on the loud whoosher. BUT...!!....she didn't stop at the sink like she usually does- she kept going and went to the whooser and lifted the fuzzy cover at the same time I jumped and MY LEG GOT WET!!!!

humph...at least I have fresh food now....gonna take out my anger on my bear cuz Momma had to leave for "work" so I can't jump her now.

Moses kitty's Bean's granfather

2006-06-29T07:30:00.000-04:00

(Mad) Moses, who introduced me to all of you, has some bad news. Momma said his Bean's granfather passed away Tuesday night (she wouldn't let me get on here yesterday because of all the flashes and thunder-rumblies). Moses' Mom, Amy, says that his Dad (Matthew) is taking it really hard.

Our purrayers are wif him in this time of sorrow.

Wicked

2006-06-28T00:01:00.000-04:00

This template makes me look better, I fink. I look like my ak-shul black, gray & white instead of brown.

My momma & dad saw Wicked on Saturday! I wanted to go wif them, but they said I couldn't go cuz I'm too little yet and Momma said she doesn't need me getting any new ideas from the show, I'm "wicked" enuff already (what? because I like..yummy...hands!?) I like listenin' to the cd-- 'cept I have to chase the kitty in the speakers when it plays- and they said the show was efun better! "Elphaba, let the girl and her little dog, Dodo, go" Oh..it's named Toto? Well, I fink 'Dodo' is a much better name for a woofer!

I asked momma where it came from and she said it was in-spy-red by the 'riginal Wizard of Oz. Are there any cats in it, Momma? There is?! A cowardly lion?! I don't fink I wanna see that then. Stupid bean to put a scaredy-cat in it......but he's gets brave later? and saves the small girl bean? Oh! That sounds much better!

grass eater

2006-06-25T11:58:00.000-04:00

there's a loud thing outside that keeps moving back and forth -- it's a big grass cutter thingy and needs a Bean to push it....maybe it really doesn't want to eat grass?

ooo! there's a bunch of them on the street...all with Beans pushing them! they all make different roary noises, too!

behind on posting

2006-06-23T23:44:00.000-04:00

'kay, Momma says I have to quit chasing the white thingy on the screen so she can type for me, so I'll just sit on her lap and supervise!

I pounced on her feet Monday morning and then into the kitchen so she'd feed me, cuz that's important! but she went into the bathroom instead. So I zipped in after her and raced to the whilte loud-whooshy thingy and made a flying leap for the fuzzy cover on it and IT WASN'T THERE!!! I landed in......WATER!! Luckily, I reversed-jumped out and made it out of there before it chased me, but my paws were wet and a little bit of my belly. Momma was laughing!! The Dad forgot to put the cover back on. Can you believe it? She laughed!

whooshy water tastes yucky.

Tuesday I got squirted with the water bottle...can I help it? I'm a meat-eater!...fleshy, pink..wriggley...hands...

Wednesday & Thursday the computers stayed off because it was raining all day and there was Loud Rumblings and Light Flashings! It was neat to watch-- good thing the rain knows to stay outside!

2006-06-23T11:16:00.000-04:00

Sorry I haven't written a while, but things should be better now!! Momma's 'puter crashed last Saturday and Dad's been workin' on making her a new one for her. Dunno how it could've crashed when it doesn't go anywhere- humans are weird. But he took it apart-- I helped!! and got some new parts and put together a whole new one...I've got a of catching up to do, so I'm writing a furry long entry for Momma to enter when she gets home from work.

The long-awaited pics!

2006-06-17T08:42:00.000-04:00

These are from Nemo's first night home (5/29/06) and taken with the cell phone (he's black & gray, not brown). All the excitement of the day wore him out-- first the cookout and then realizing he was staying!

took a trip

2006-06-15T00:45:00.000-04:00

I took a trip tonight! Momma picked me up and tooked me to her car cuz it needed to be fed. I sitted on her lap and she turned this shiny metal thingy and then there was this loud noise! She said it was the n-jin and not too be scared. I wasn't. I looked out the window and it was dark out, then we started moving backwards! I stayed on her lap and we moved forward for a while then came to a stop and there were other big things crossing in front of us, it was exciting! Then the big things quit moving in front of us and we turned onto another street and went to a place with a sign that said "BP" and parked it next to a tall thingy, and then it was light cuz the place was lighted up and I could see better. Momma got out of the car and I went to the window and watched her, she put this tube in the car's mouth to feed it.
That was boring. So I explored the 'car' --somehow got stuck on the door. Heard a thump and a clank and then Momma came back in the car and started it up again. This time I stayed in the seat next to her, but peeked out the window and we went back to the house. The big woofer next door wasn't outside, he's big and scary! Momma said he's called a Saint Ber-nard....how can something that big be called a saint???

and back in the house I discovered there's another cat! It lives in the tv speakers and every time I pass by to see if it's gone, it's checking me out! It's a dark cat, but must be scared cuz it never comes out-- I do a good job of guarding! *sigh* I just wish I could get in there to show it who's boss...but everytime I run up, I bump my head on the speaker- Dad says it's a plastic cover...well, if I can get it off...then all fur-gloves are off!

uh oh?

2006-06-15T00:37:00.000-04:00

Momma said something 'bout getting a spray bottle to teach me some manners, cuz she's tired of using nee-o-spor-in every night and says her hands, legs & feet look like she walked through a briar patch. uh oh. Should I be worried? Hey, can I help it if my ancestral insticts keep taking over? Every time I see that pink...meat...skinny..wiggling......have to pounce & bite it! And I'm supposed to do my kitten jumping and not use her? Can I help it she sits in the way and is the perfect jump-helper?

a fish?!

2006-06-13T01:19:00.000-04:00

I'm named for a fish??!! Daddy came up with it -- something about "we have to keep finding nemo" - like it's my fault they're too big to fit in all the places I can go or something. I'm a feline- they don't need to know where I am all the time, that's my business to know where they are, I have no problem finding them. I was ok with it, 'til I was searchin' the 'net and discovered that it's a FISH!!!!

..a fish with a cat-curious personality, maybe..but still....a FISH!!!

have to give momma points, though--- she tried to get it changed...Macavity sounded neat....Munchkin sounded like a snack...and O.G. sounded good (short for "opera ghost", cuz I keep disapearin' 'n' stuff..again, so what? I'm a cat, that's what I do..oh, and freakin' people out, too-- apparently, that's what this "Phantom of the Opera" does..sounds like a cool character). Then they said "Nermal" -- 'cuz I look like him and act like him-- cute li'l gray & black kitten that gets into trouble....hey!..oh, and bugs someone called 'Garfield'.

although momma said that maybe when I get bigger I could be "Captain Nemo" and they'd get me my own ship so I could conquer the world (and eat fish!)..that sounds like fun, so maybe Nemo isn't that bad after all...if I get my own ship.

Oh- and thanks to Moseskitty for spreading the word and thanks for all the friendly welcomes!!

ketchup is not good

2006-06-12T08:56:00.000-04:00

ketchup.

is cold...and.....worst of all...WET!!!!

I was playing on the soft one's lap last night (my people's names are mommy/Shawna and Greg) while they were watching something called Guarding Tess on the TV (it's fun to chase the moving thingys on it) when I hear her say, "Did any of the ketchup get on you?" Of course I ignored it as her hand moved and I jumped on her shirt to get it and then..YUCK!!! my whole leg was cold & wet! I jumped down and limped into the kitchen to wash it off.

Blech!

p.s. pics will be put up if I stop jumping at the camera *g*

2006-06-10T10:19:00.000-04:00
