Lip smacky good!

Thank you for coming to my fishie fry yesterday, Kitties. Weren't they good? And I caught them myself as you saw.

Fishy Monday

I caught these fishies by stunning them with my lasers! I only have them on at half strength. Mommy said I have burned too many holes in the furniture to use full strength. We're having them for supper tonight Mommy said! You are all invited!

BONKS

Watchful Sunday

Rupert? Would you like to snuggle and watch my movie with me? ♥♥♥

A Day of Rest

I have worked so hard to help Mom that I have declared a day of rest for me. (not her. It's still up and at 'em very early). I have kept her pinned down so her ankle would heal and I have worked so hard keeping her warm(er) and singing to her to keep her spirits up! So I am resting today and taking off my nurses hat finally after a week of keeping it balanced up there on my wee noggin.

Bonks and purrs.

Floofy Friday

Just Because

You ever come in to your mom's room long about dawn and meow? And do it just because you can? That's when I start my campaign to get her up. She can't stay awake past 1030pm because I wake her up so often from 530AM onward. Then, about 630am I will hop on up, walk to her head and bat her a few times, but I always purr extra extra loud and tickle her with my whiskers.

Don't tell Rupert or Spitty but I am a senior little girl of almost 12, so I tend to speak my mind. I've been flirting with them and I hope they don't see my age.

I'm gorgeous though..that ought to be sufficient. Mommy says so, anyway.

Wordless Wednesday

I am relaxing, chewing some nip and watching the ol' TV.

Here I am. Mommy found me watching TV and relaxing with a little nip. She also used the flashy box instead of a manual setting 'cause the room was darker than the window. The point being, the V-E-T shaved a patch off my flank a few weeks ago and it's just growing in. It shows in mommy's unflattering picture of me. Revenge will occur at varying hours in the night when I check out the meow horn in her general direction.

Mommy said the yellow blob you see in front of me outside is the out of focus screen of 'The Goldfinch Hour' going on out there on Nature TV. Best channel around.

Ma!!! Maaaa!!

Ma! I wanna watch TV. The good channel is on! See?

Fanks you, mama.

Bitey

Mommy..she never learns, does she? I had to put the bitey..I chomped two times not once... on her arm because she wouldn't obey the tail thump. She was brushing..I asked her to stop. Sound familiar? My points pierced her forearm a little..enough to bring a bead up to the surface.

Happy Birthday to mommy's youngest human son. She says she is lucky to have all three of her sons and loves them so much. Best part is, they know that.

Her ankle is swollen but not as badly and the rest of her foot is swollen a little bit too. The bruise is pretty big covering half of her foot but it is lavender looking, not dark navy. She's walking better so thank you soooo much for helping me help her, with all of your purrs. Those dozen of you who purred in shifts--here are some nose taps for the excellent timing involved.

Bonks

Gray and Cream

Those are two of my colors, gray and cream along with the rust and gold. I have curls around my pads and I have Tortie pads 'cause they are pink and charcoal. Mommy loves me so much.

Taking Care of Mommy

I have worn my claws down to nubs taking care of mommy. She stepped into the only little muddy place within a 100 miles yesterday, and her feets slipped out from under her. To bad she doesn't have 4 feets like ME so she'da had an easier way to stay upright. But she landed on her knee and scraped all of the bark off of it and hurted her ankle so it got all puffied up. So, I have been staying with her and watching every step (I really am) to make sure she doesn't so such a silly thing again. Silly mamma. She's getting better now that she got this stretchy thing for wrapping and a cold thing. I don't like that cold thing.

Here I am..just give out after all I did for her. But that's my job.

Wordless Wednesday and Tortie Thursday too. =^..^=

Mommy's Day and Mine

Mommy took off like a big bird and was gone 10 hours today. It's Tortie Tuesday so I had a nice just thrown up still warm and soft, Science Diet digested morsels for her all over the wood and glass coffee table. She finally saw it and had to get all the goop up first and then, clean the glass all over again. That'll teach her to be gone 10 hours. I know she was helping her human son but I can only stand so much inattention. I am putting a picture in here so you can see the coffee table I threw up on. Biggify it to see it well.

When she took her shower a bit later, I helped by arranging myself all over her bathmat. I even surprise myself with how much I can expand to fill up the mat enough that mommy can't stand on it to get dried off. She has to throw her hand towel onto the floor and stand on that while I rest on the plush mat.

Mommy is headed back to her son's home again tomorrow. Wonder of I will be good or will I be peckish?

Poor Mommy

Poor Mommy..on several levels.

She had to help take down the blog she had helped me post past night (she is a great assistant). The blog I posted contained an error so to be safe, we removed it.

However, I have something to say! NO door in this household is to ever be closed, exception will be the entry doors, without my express permission..and that permission will never under any circumstance will be given.

Punishment for doing so will be swift and unremitting.

Mommy and her human kids were punished for that act of closing doors simply because the human kids wanted their privacy while sleeping! The idea! The nerve! I broadcasted my irritation from 3am onward and loudly. Nothing stopped me. Don't say you weren't warned!

The Admiral

Living with Me

I gained great entertainment value in saying I wanted to be brushed..then when anyone here in my household of attendants knelt to the floor with brush in hand..I rose and left the room.

They were left to rise up again, albeit painfully sometimes with creaky knees on occasion, only to be asked again later with the same result.

*tee hee*

With entertainment like this..who needs an iPad?

Me, the Admiral, won an Awardie! =^..^=

I've won an award! The Versatile Blogger Award! Yea for me.

But there is a to-do list to go with it.

Thank the person who gave it to you..so thank you so much Au and target.

Share Seven Things About Yourself and it has to be about your human:

*Mommy looks awful in coral colors.

*Mommy hates kids behind her on airlines and in theaters kicking the seat back.

*Mommy is very quick of movement and doesn't like being slow.

*Mommy's fave subject in College was Business and Marketing.

*Mommy doesn't know catbeans about using her computer hardly at all. She's pitiful.

*Mommy's from the South..and glad of it.

*Mommy loves all animals, even as much as us cats, and that's a lot of love to go around.

I'm supposed to make mommy pass this along to 15 other bloggers that I think are fantastic but mommy says ALL the bloggers are fantastic so she'll pass it to each one of you and me'n'her will look forward to learning more about all you mommies and daddies out there.

Wednesday all day LONG!

Kitties! Mommy got me! I had been leading her a fun chase (for me, that is..for her, not so much!) for two days as she was trying to get me to the V-E-T. No way no how am I going there willingly. But yesterday after the third attempt, I must have been lulled into a sense of security and she managed to get me around my waist and ferry me to that horrid container she had upended in the foyer.

I made sorrowful moans and loud long cries. But mommy was so relieved to have gotten me at last that she turned a deaf ear to my cries! How dare she? She jumped into her jeans and I was out the door into the horrible hots and humid with the windows down while I cried all the way to the V-E-T.

I got my allergy shot and kitties, I feel 200% better! I haven't lifted a claw to my poor ears and I'm not pulling out my luxuriant fur. This morning I'm gleaming like a newly minted coin mommy said. I also had, ahem, um, well...sorta..um...anal gland problems and the V-E-T fixed that. I hollered though.

I forgave her and showed her because I crawled into bed after the light was out (she had given up) and got all the way up into her face with my hands on her mouth; my whiskers tickling her cheek. I'm glad she was on her side so I could park on her pillow and show her some love and purrs. Just that morning I was in total misery and mommy was so upset with trying to catch me. Now I feel like a million cans of Fancy Feast, good.

Nosetaps and headbonks..

Ain't NO way, ain't NO how you gonna trick me enough to do the stoop and scoop and get me into that carrier and take me to the V-E-T.

I don't care that I would feel better. I don't care that you are worried about me. All I care about is my best and most favorite box right there behind me that I can only get a quarter of me into. Go ahead. Make another appointment and watch my sparks as I tear down the hall and dive for under the bed. I dare ya. Go ahead. Make my day! I can't heaaaaar you!

Uh oh

Today is the day, Kitties. Mom is going to try to control her nerves about it and trick me (Ha!) into not knowing that she is about to stoop and swoop and get me into my carrier. I am napping but I can feel the nerves building even now. We have a 3 PM visit scheduled and she has her note ready to hand my doctor. I think today is the day for my bloods to be tested. I hope I get an A FFS! (for fur's sake)

I wish mommy had thought to take a new picture of me on her brand new premium of premium sheets yesterday. They were light as thistle down when she floated them down to the bed's surface. Of course, I road tested them most of the day. Here is a photo of me. Hm. Where am I?

I was a GOOD girl

Mom's human son visited with us last night and went home this afternoon and I was an excellent girl!

I let him kiss and pet me for minutes...a long time...maybe 5 minutes when he came in and got on the floor with me. Then, at various times in the evening I allowed kissing and pets all over again. Last night after I sent Mommy off to sleep in her bed with my snuggles, I hopped down and went in to her son, where he had MORE quality time with me before he went to bed.

Mommy said I was a good girl because I am in misery with my allergies, itching and my skin is dry. I am a few days late for my monthly v-e-t visit. I will be horrible to catch Monday morning and I will scream and moan and shout and make mom tear up, but I will feel SO much better after I get done. I need my bloods checked too and a manicure and pedicure. My ears itch terribly from the allergy (the v-e-t assured mom that's why) and when she put the drops into them that the v-e-t gave her to use..I laid these cards on the negotiating table:

"You may apply my thyroid medicine to my ear each day to control my hyperthyroidism OR you may try to squirt THAT in my ears. You chose!" I showed her that I would hide 23 out of 24 hrs if she applied the meds to soothe the itch. She would not be able to give me the hyperthyroid meds if she chose the other med. So, I have caused myself needless discomfort and so off to the Dr. again.

Mommy wishes there was someone here to help her sometimes. I make it very hard to help me.

My Way or the Highway

Well darned if I didn't come on in to mom's bed right after she got in it last night all by myself. And I asked her why she was layin' on both pillows propped up reading when one of them is clearly mine. Never mind that I have not chosen to lay my hind end and tail across it while draping my gorgeous front end all over her face and neck. It should always be there, empty and prepared for me. So, I came in, jumped up and waited till she quickly got MY pillow out from under her and laid it the way it's supposed to be....that is north to south..not east to west. I get between the pillows, lay my plume of a tail across MY pillow and then my front legs are on her pillow and her face along with my sweet face inching its way up to lay against hers. Oh she loves that. If I asked for a hundred dollars she'd give it to me she is so enchanted with my soft silky face next to hers..notwithstanding my purrs.

She talked to me a while and then fell asleep. So did I. She'll wait for that tonight but you know how I am. I'll probably ask her to wait an indeterminate time before I do that again. Maybe come Winter when the wonderful deep red heavy fleece blanket comes out I will always be there.
And to think she complained last Winter that I caused her to be paralyzed into an uncomfortable position when I laid on her. Whose sorry now? Snicker snicker.

I may put out to sea here shortly. In case I do..ahoy!

Kitty Dreams

Well, my goodness. I asked my human mom to place an especially well posed and considered portrait (not a picture..a portrait) of me in Flickr. The purpose is to lure my Honey of choice, Pete, into noticing me. I feel that Emmit may have forgotten me as I haven't heard from him lately although I keep is State Portrait of him that was sent by his own claws, close to my little fleece oval shaped bed. However, back to my portrait. I had mom upload my divalicious likeness to Flickr where Pete would see it and the lure worked! Pete's mom left a comment that she had shown Pete my likeness and that he is in love.
Oh, he is so handsome with his dark rust colored racing stripes all over his sleek orange self. Mom would put his picture here for me to show off but she can't as his pictures, as are mine, are copyrighted. But trust me, he is a handsome dashing fella worthy of my attention.
For my portrait, I was well brushed to a gleaming shine. My long hair forms soft curls on my deep cream tummy and the ends of my soft pink toes. They, my little curls, were burnished with a brush that was made to enhance my beauty. My cream colored chin and chest cascaded into a smooth as satin glory and looked like cream poured out into a priceless porcelain dish. My coat was satiny smooth shades of gray and cream and touches of deep orange with a few subtle deep gray racing stripes of my own. I knew when I posed with my gorgeous eyes upturned, that I could and would capture his heart.
I hope Pete has my beautiful likeness firmly in mind as I do not like competition! He won't see mom's blog as he doesn't know about it so I can tell you all about my campaign to dazzle Pete.

Oh Noes...Caught Red Pawed..Clawed..Something

Mom was getting ready for the day which meant she was standing in front of that thing she loves with a big something I can see myself in all the time. She puts on the scent that she she think smells so good..and I don't like it 'cause it interferes with her scent which I love. I told her and told her that when she stands there but she doesn't interpret my meows correctly for some reason.

Anyway, she also puts on all these things around her neck, in her ears, on her fingers..and I love to play with those too, just like her.

While she went far away, I had time on my paws so I explored her place where I see myself in, and get up there to see all the glitter things she wears. I wanted to try some one too! I'm a girl! So, she has this mahogany chest up there with nothing but silver in it. I did my best to get it open. What I forgot was to clean up all the tassels I pulled off while trying to get a grip on them with my teeth to open the lid.

She looked at the place where she puts her rings at night while she dressed this morning and oh my word! There were all those silky strands pooled there in front of the chest. Were my furs red, or what! She turned and looked right at me! She asked had I been up there. I did the only sensible thing I could..I laid my head down on the bed and started a good nap. Gosh, a girls' gotta have some fun. Sheesh!

I saw she had not dusted the top of that chest and she's going to put it here to tell on me! Well, look at her dusting non abilities!

About time, mommy!

Boy, what's a lady cat supposed to do? My furs had to wait several days while mommy was gone far far away! And when she got home last night, she fully brushed away a good cat's worth of fur. Mommy said she noticed my fur family over at Katnip Lounge also had a vigorous brushing and shed some cats over there too! You mommy's have to do a faster job on our summer furs, mommies and daddies! We have an image to uphold! My furs were even a little tangled and I had a few MATS! How embarrassing. I'm glad Spitty the Kitty didn't drop by! (or Felix)

When mommy and me went to our bed last night, I was soooo glad to see her that I checked all night long by sniffing her eyes and ears and mouth to make sure that was really her and not my baby sitter! Mommy doesn't mind and petted me even though she was so sleepy. My sitter came to feed me once a day but I refused to come out for lives so after mommy brushed all my fur off ( three brushes full!) we went to bed, as I said, and I held her tight and almost sang a song my purrs were so loud.

That awful carrier is still out from when she though I would have to be boarded. At the last minute she found my sitter so I got to stay. I know she will make me go in the next several days to the V-E-T for my allergies and have my bloods tested! I hate that! I also need a manicure. But worse, I couldn't blog and now..she is helping me.

Me and mommy missed all of my kitty family here. Headbonks and purrs.
