Embarrassed

Tommy and I are so embarrassed that we haven't blogged since last month! And it's already eight days into June. Also, a million years ago Russell tagged us to do a meme.

Tommy hiding his face in shame.

Thanks Russell. Sorry we've been so slow. Here are the rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 4 or 5 cats and posts their names. Then be sure to go to the cats you tagged and let them know that you tagged them. Let the cat who tagged you know when you have posted your answers.
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Tommy: I'm four years old so I wasn't me 10 years ago.
Shilgiah: I'm seven years but I think maybe this is my second of 9 lives but I can't remember what I was doing 10 years ago if I had another life.
2. Five things on my to do list for today.
Tommy: Lay in my rocky thing-Push Shilgiah out of sunspot where she is napping-Nap in sunspot-slobber on my favorite old nip pillow-catch fly on the balcony.
Shilgiah: Snuggle up to mom and purr in her ear to wake her up-sit on kitchen rug and politely meow for morning treats-lay in sunspot-get pushed off of sunspot by Tommy-bite Tommy's butt fur.
3. Snacks I enjoy.
Tommy: Temptations, Whisker Lickin's, Goodlife Recipe
Shilgiah: What Tommy said plus TUNA Juice and Kitty Grass mom pots for us.
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire.
Tommy: I'm not sure...probably buy the worlds supply of Cat Nip and share it with all my blogging friends.
Shilgiah: I would buy a huge mansion and let mom stay there (but it would be mine all mine). Then I would get all the kitties from everywhere in the world who don't have homes (or who live with mean and bad people) and bring them to the big mansion and there would be lots of wonderful kitty condos and stairs and fun things to play with and do and we'd also have all the healthy and good tasting kitty food in the world and I'd make sure we had several human maids to clean up the kitty litter and clean house so mom would have time just to play with me and Tommy. Oh, we'd also have extra staff so that all the kitties would get lots of attention and playing with...cuz I don't want to always share my mom with others. Oh, one more thing we would have a huge enclosed and safe-to-play-in back yard so we could go out and romp without worry of coyotes or other scary things.
5. Three of my bad habits.
Tommy: Biting mom when she tries to clip my nails-Biting mom when she tries to brush my fur-biting my sister's head when we wrestle.
Shilgiah: Biting my brothers butt fur-chasing my brother through the house-hiding and pouncing on my brother when he walks by.
6. Five places I have lived.
Tommy: With a man from another state who came to Albuquerque and then abandoned me in Albuquerque-In the bushes at the apartment complex after the man left-very briefly in another apartment of college boys one of whom was allergic to me-with my new sister Shilgiah and my forever mom where I live now!
Shilgiah: With a college student who moved away and left me to fend for myself-In the big park where the coyotes roamed early in the morning-then I found my forever mom and lived inside next to that park-then we moved to another place where I found my new brother Tommy.
7. Five jobs I have had.
Tommy: One very important job I have is to make my mom laugh by being such a cute big boy.
Shilgiah: My job is to ensure that mom has time to pet me and brush me and talk with me and love me because it's good for lowering blood pressure and keeping her sane in the crazy work world...at least that's what mom tells me.

O.K. I think probably everyone in the cat blogosphere has done this meme but if by chance you have not had a chance to do it, please feel free to join the fun.

Guess What!

For no reason in particular, except that she must love us a lot, mom came home with this the other day. It's a very fun rocky-tinkle ball-roller ball-gunnysack-scratchy bottomed play toy. Thanks Mom, you are the greatest!

Ah...Mom help me! I got my paw stuck!


Rockin' Tommy.

Thundering Herd of Elephants

We have had five days of Mom and it has been a wonderful time! We didn't do any projects and just had fun. Mom did her favorite thing reading. She read and read and read. Tommy and I snuggled and we all decided that it seemed right just to take a break from blogging for a few days.

When we decided to turn the computer on and see what our blogging friends were up to we were very saddened to hear that Bonnie Underfoot had died. Then, we went to Victor Tabbycat and Bonnie Underfoot's blog and read what her mom had written about the weather and hearing the thunder and that she figured that it must be Bonnie playing "Thundering Herd of Elephants" with the other kitties at the Rainbow Bridge, it made us feel happy. Tommy and I even played a game of it last night at 2:00AM in honor of Bonnie. You go girl!

We will miss you Bonnie. We are sending *hugs* to Victor and his beans.

Locked Out on the Balcony!

This is Tommy and I got locked out on the balcony! Mom had gone to get a glass of lemonade from the fridge and walked back to the balcony calling us to come in. Shilgiah came and Mom just briefly glanced out, didn't see me and thought I must have already come inside. She has to be blind as a bat! So, then she closed the door and I heard her say "Do you want treats"? Treats! She was going to give Shilgiah treats and I was stuck on the patio! Shilgiah walked toward the kitchen and then she turned around and went to the glass doors of the balcony and cried for me! I owe you big time, sis! Mom, came back into the study and saw Shilgiah making all kinds of racket and me sitting there out on the balcony looking in at Shilgiah. Mom was so upset that she didn't even bother to take a picture and she gave me extra treats for leaving me there!!

I was just taking a little nap when Mom locked me out! How could she!!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Just me and my shadow.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there and to our mom who adopted us and takes such good care of us! Because I love my mom so much, I got her a bunch of roses that are yellow and orange. I thought they would look very nice on the table.

I promise not to nibble on the petals.

Then Tommy gave mom a silver stick with a rectangular flat thing on the bottom. It is called a Carpet Sweeper and it is a "green machine" even though it looks silver. The big plus is that Tommy absolutely hates the vvvrooom noisy machine that mom uses to clean the carpets so he thought this was the perfect solution. Mom began by using it on our little carpet on the balcony.

It works great and it's very quiet!

Mancat Monday

Hi! Tommy here. It was a pretty busy weekend of chasing my sister, monitoring the bird activity from the balcony and occasionally getting a bit of shut eye. I don't know why my mom thought it was so funny, but at one point I was grooming my handsome furs and sort of fell asleep in the middle. It was just a brief cat nap but when I opened my eyes mom had the flashy thing and was laughing at me.

How embarrassing to fall asleep mid-groom!
