Tagged

Rosie and Cheeto tagged me to post a proverb. A proverb is a saying which expresses a truth based on common sense or practical experience. This one is my favorite and is on my mom's key chain.

"People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life."

You don't have to play if you don't want to but if you do, I want to tag William, Scout, Daisy, Rascal and Faz.

Friday Flowers

My mom loves flowers but for a long time when I was little we couldn't have them cuz I would eat them. Now that I am much more mature we can have them.

Happy Friday everyone.

Feeling Fine

For the past few days mom has been following me around feeling my ears, feeling my tummy and giving me this stuff called Laxatone which is for elimination and prevention of hair balls. It's tuna flavor and I really love it. All this because I was meowing so much. Oh yeah, and also because I kind of threw up some kitty grass. Well, I was having a little tummy trouble but mostly I just wanted more attention. And Tommy is right, I am not fond of the feel of the new kitty litter.

Oops. I just ate the kitty grass too fast.

Now I'm feeling fine and just enjoying the morning sun and

watching for my morning bird friends to say hi.

Tommy Tuesday

Hi Tommy here. I think I have a headache. While I generally have fun with my sister, lately she's been quite the chatterbox. She just talks and talks and talks sometimes quite loudly to mom and to me. She wakes me and mom up in the middle of the night sometimes. Unfortunately mom isn't that great at translating cat to English so she's all worried that something is wrong. Mom told me she's going to take Shilgiah to the vet if the excessive meowing doesn't abate soon. Hehehe. I'm pretty sure my sis is just not happy with the new kitty litter that is supposed to be the best but neither of us like the way it feels on our paws.

Please Shilgiah just be quiet and let me sleep.

Embarrassed

I have been able to keep my shoe fetish secret until now. Mom caught me loving her shoes and took a picture. She said it was cute that I loved to rub and caress her shoes but why hadn't I displayed this behavior ever before. Because it's embarrassing! So, even though I didn't want the whole world to know about my love of mom's footwear, she said she was going to put a picture on my blog anyway so I might as well write about it.

It's my blog and I didn't give my mom permission to embarrass me! I'm going to find a way to embarrass my mom when she least expects it. Revenge will be sweet.

Wordy Wednesday

I would like to nominate my mom for the Human Procrastinator of the Year Award. O.K., this is what happened. Everyone knows that I am the primary writer of my blog, occasionally allowing Tommy a comment, but it is my mom who puts up the pictures like this one below.

Well, back around Independence Day, my friends Ariel and Trixie nominated me for a "Rockin' Girl Award" and I was all excited but mom was very busy that week and said we'd post the bright pink insignia over the weekend. Well, then that was the weekend my best woofie friend went to the rainbow bridge and we were both sad...then when mom didn't know quite how to get the insignia from photo bucket and so she put it off and forgot.

Then, more recently Kimo and Sabi nominated me for a Schmoozing award. Well, what's your excuse this time mom? Stressed out at work again?

Forget the insignias. I want to let you know that I was and am delighted to receive the Rockin Girl Award and the Schmoozing Award. Thank you Ariel and Trixie for the RGA one and Thank you Kimo and Sabi for the Schmoozing Award.

I will try to get my mom more punctual in the future. We all just love reading the other blogs and commenting and having fun. Have a wonderful rest of your week.

ManCat Monday

Here's my brother Tommy doing his manly stretching excercises...or he might be getting ready to pounce on me...hard to tell.

Hey, Tommy are you gonna hog that kitty grass?

Bird Watching

I just discovered something the other day. I was watching my inside bird and something very interesting happened. I discovered that if

you stare at the bird


the bird falls over.
Isn't that fascinating!

Tommy's Tummy

Tommy here. Shilgiah said I could blog today so since it's Tuesday I thought I'd show a picture mom took of my tummy. I was trying to take a nice nap and mom was hovering above the couch with the flashy box. Boy, that's annoying when you are trying to catch some Z's.

I'm trying to get some shut eye...quit flashing that thing in my face!

A Kiss for Raven

Mom and I looked in the big box of pictures and found my favorite one of me and Raven. It was from when I first made friends with her. She was a great big black lab who was the most gentle and sweet woofie in the world. I will miss her a lot.

I love you Raven. I'll see you again one day.

Goodbye Raven

My best dog friend, Raven, died yesterday. My mom helped Raven's mom take her to the vet. She was very very old and her body had almost quit working so Raven's mom knew it was time to help her to the rainbow bridge. My mom told Raven's mom about the rainbow bridge story and also shared the poem Ariel shared on her blog about Pumpkin. Raven's mom said that helped a lot. I wanted to post a picture of Raven and me but I don't have one of Raven on the computer. So, I'll try to get mom to find one in our picture box and have it scanned and then post it.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Tommy and I are happy that the humans are celebrating independence today. Being independent creatures, we think the humans should celebrate it every day. I began my celebration of the day by sitting on Tommy and looking out the window at the birds flying past.

Tommy you make a great pillow!

Octopus

Mom put my red and white octopus on my head and then laughed and laughed. I humored her by tolerating this indignity because she's had a lot of stress at work lately.

This is not really funny mom.
