Hopefully she will let me use her blog!

Hot Days

2007-07-11T22:04:00.000-07:00

We lucked out last week and it wasn't so hot here. Today it was very hot though! Fortunately we'll cool down into the 80s tomorrow.

I laid in the sun in the big window earlier in the day. Momma laughed at me rolling in the sun and took some photos which she needs to get into the computer. Then later on, I've been stretching and stretching and lying around where it's cool. I'm glad they have a cooler in one room where it isn't so hot!

Late Weekend Wrapup

2007-07-09T12:56:00.000-07:00

Okay, so it's a late weekend wrap up. Momma and the Almost Dad had a garage sale and they finally sold his old kitchen table set! Well, they gave it away finally. It was a nice table and chairs and quite sturdy. They tried to give it away several times this past year and finally someone came and got it! YEAH. Now it's not in the garage and Momma can fit her car in there. She is quite happy.

Oh and the Almost Dad is getting her a camera for her wedding gift. He choose the Canon XT over the Nikon D40 because the Cannon XT had a higher pixel resolution. Just think--maybe they will take some good photos of me?!

Georgia's Steps

2007-07-04T22:26:00.000-07:00

Here is a photo of Georgia's steps that we got about a week ago. All those clothes are things that Momma is putting out in this weekends garage sale. I don't know why they want to sell clothes and stuff and the garage. Where will they park?

Anyway we Radcliffe and friends asked about our steps and we got them from Foster Smith. They go up about 30 inches high with those six steps. They are basically just styrofoam under there. They come in several heights and this was the tallest. The bed is quite high!

The steps are a little narrow, front to back for Georgia to get up and down real easily but she does it okay. Momma covered it with catnip so we would all like it right away. I think they were just about $99 for this set, which wasn't a huge amount. When Momma searched for pet furniture she got lots of different steps and some were very fancy. She choose this because it was the cheapest and she didn't know if Georgia would use it.

Don't I make a good model?

Snoozing with Georgia

2007-07-03T15:01:00.000-07:00

Oh it's a slow day for Momma today, so look! Georgia and I are showing her exactly what she needs to do!

A hole in One!

2007-07-02T19:32:00.000-07:00

The Almost Dad came home from golfing the other day and said he got a hole in one! He was playing a small par three course but he was still quite proud of himself. Many of the people he golfs with who have been golfing longer and are generally better golfers than he is have never had one.

I am furry impressed. See I like to help him practice his putting inside. I get between where he is and the hole so it's easier to catch the golf balls he hits. I'm sure I'm the whole reason he got that hole in one, aren't you?

Wordless Wednesday

Weekend Wrap Up

2007-06-24T21:08:00.000-07:00

Momma went to see the Mariner's play the Reds. The Almost Dad is a big fan of the Reds 'cause I guess he was from their city. I kind of prefer Green myself, but I am told they aren't a team or anything. I am not sure what the Mariner's did. I guess they lost badly on Friday. Momma and the Almost Dad didn't go on Saturday and then they went again today and the Reds lost. Momma says the Reds lost badly on Saturday but today was a good game.

A lady there had a really nice camera--a nikon D80 and Momma wants one. She says it does everything! Actually the lady talked to Momma about the stuff she wants and a D40 would work for her. It does almost everything too I guess.

I enjoyed my Secret Paw meals a lot when Georgia wasn't eating. In fact, I was almost a piggy and pushed her away once! Momma wasn't happy with me.

Secret Paw!

2007-06-20T20:41:00.000-07:00

YEAH! We got our secret paw Tuesday night! YEAH. Momma was too tired to post about it then so we didn't get to--even though Cheysuli had a short post on her blog.

It came from Beezer. It was furry cool. Beezer put in a nice red feather boa for Chey because seh likes feathers. And then I got a neat catnip package. We both got food from Whiskas, but mostly Momma is letting Georgia get that as treats and we have to wait. It's okay as I'm a big fan of crunchies myself.

We want to say a big thank you though! I like the feathers too even if they are for Chey!

Odds and Ends

2007-06-20T08:11:00.000-07:00

Georgia is liking her new stairs. It took her a few days of Momma watching her and sort of putting her hand on her to get to her go up and down her new stairs but now she uses them regularly. Momma is happy about that. They are very lightweight. They are styrofoam under some nice thick lambswool type cloth over the top--that makes them more steady for us cats.

We are furry happy about that.

Also, Momma is finding she doesn't have as much time to blog. She is thinking that perhaps she will make me share a blog with Cheysuli! NO! We haven't decided for sure but I hopes I don't have to. Chey talks A LOT.

Weekend Wrapup

2007-06-17T21:31:00.001-07:00

Nasty blogger! I had a post all ready and then
it wouldn't let me upload my photo and then it wouldn't let me save as a draft so I have to start all over! Sigh.

I didn't have much to say. It was furry rainy around here so I slept. Momma had a wakeful night last night. Georgia vomited all over the bed and so she had to redo the bedding. I got to be petted in the middle of the night.

Then the neighbors were playing their music really loud at 3 AM (literally) and so I got to be petted when she got up because she couldn't sleep listening to that! Unfortunately we weren't sure which neighbors so we couldn't ask them to turn it down. All the lights were on over there--so maybe they were all trying to figure out who was noisy?

News around Town

2007-06-13T08:30:00.000-07:00

I have two news items. First, Ayla has squamous cell carcinoma in her mouth so that's a bad thing. She is taking the news as well as anyone can take such news. But you might want to go say hello and send her some purrs.

Second Skeezix has announced the debate. He is taking question nominations for the presidential debate--go over there and tell him what you want to know about Chey, Cato and Skittles!

Sparklie Balls!

2007-06-12T18:27:00.000-07:00

YEAH! I was furry excited. Momma came home and there was a package on the doorstep. It wasn't the stairs for Georgia cause it was way to small. As she looked closer, she could see if was from Junior. Well at first we thought he was the fastest Secret Paw EVER but then we opened it and the card was for participating in his contest.

We got TONS of sparkle balls! I have to go kick some around because Momma isn't hovering with the camera. I have to avoid them when she has that! HE HE. Chey too. Chey had to smell all of them. I think she likes the gold one. I liked the green ones. I think green goes well with my eyes.

Thank you Thank you Thank you Junior! I was ever so excited to get something in the mail! YEAH!

Weekend Wrap Up

2007-06-10T13:38:00.000-07:00

Well, the dogs are gone. It's time to celebrate. Momma also found out that Georgia really likes to nap on the bed, so she ordered some kitty steps. They just got a new nightstand andthe stairs should go high enough with the nightstand one more step and then a step up and Georgia will be able to be on the bed much easier than she get up there now.

I did not get to go outside today but we have yard photos too! YEAH! The Almost Dad got them all uploaded. Of course, when they got new nightstands they had some old stuff to list on Craigslist and so he HAD to do the photos. It wasn't just for me and Cheysuli.

Still, I am furry happy to have more photos. Lots of these were of me! YEAH! I can show off for my handsome Ping too!

Momma says I'm Brave!

2007-06-07T08:43:00.000-07:00

I am so excited. Momma told me I was a brave kitty. See her friend who has two chihuahuas came to visit. Anyway, I ran and hid in the guest room and for the afternoon Momma had that area blocked off. Later on, she knew Georgia liked to hide in there so she made sure Georgia was out and closed the door, because I usually hide under her dresser. So later on that night, the two dogs and the person I don't know so well came in to go to sleep.

Momma went looking for me but couldn't find me. Then she went to guest room and saw me hiding in a corner under the bed. So they took the dogs out and Momma grabbed me. She expected that I would be shaking and run and hide, but as soon as the dogs were back in their room, I pranced around the house looking for my crunchie food.

Momma said I was far braver than she thought.

Georgia was also quite brave and has discovered she can get up on the bed. Momma is a little worried because she's not sure how Georgia will get down but that's another story. Last night she lifted her up and put her on the floor when she wanted down. We'll see how she does.

Dona Nobis Pacem

2007-06-06T00:06:00.000-07:00

I am participating in Dona Nobis Pacem. Compassion, peace, purrs. Is there anything more important?

Momma watched Ghandi last night. It seemed a fitting movie the day before Dona Nobis Pacem. As he said, he wasn't a pacifist, but an activist who was nonviolent. He didn't stand by and watch wrongs. He acted on what he thought was right, without resorting to causing pain for others.

This is the noblest calling. History will remember us all not only for what we do, but for what we don't do. In these times of turmoil, how will history remember you?

Weekend Wrap Up

2007-06-03T20:19:00.000-07:00

Momma took lots of photos of all of us and now I just need to get her to get them on the computer so we can show them off. Georgia walked all over the yard. It was quite warm this weekend and Georgia liked it.

In my news, I was in the window and I caught a fly and ate it in front of Momma. She thought it was gross. She wasn't happy that I didn't catch the really really big spider in the bedroom. The Almost Dad had to kill it for her. She screamed and stood on the bed, it was so big. I bet it was a good meal.

After I caught the fly, I threw up on the carpet.

Weekend Wanderings

2007-06-02T10:39:00.000-07:00

Oh I did not get to go out on my harness but I did get to smell the outside porch. Mostly I stayed in the window and watched Momma and the Almost Dad as they worked outside. It is getting quite nice.

There was a big flying bug that was outside the window and I stood at the window to try and catch it. If Momma wasn't so lazy, she said she'd have gone outside and taken a lovely photo of my nice furry belly as I stood up on my hind legs. I do this a lot against the walls, because that's where the invisible bugs are. Sometimes, like the other day, they are even VISIBLE bugs!

No, that's not our yard, but Momma loves tulips so she would love it to be our yard!

Oh Sunny Day!

2007-05-29T20:50:00.000-07:00

It was a furry nice day today. The sun was out and it was warm. Momma was gone ALL day but that's okay. We all laid in our favorite sunny spots. Georgia looked out the front window a lot.

Momma should be home at least part of the day tomorrow and it's supposed to be nice. I hope I can convince her to go out and take photos of all the work they have done in the yard. Maybe she will find me my harness and I can go outside too. That would be furry fun. She knows that things scare me and I would quickly run off and hide if I got too scared so she has to put me in a harness to see where I want to go.

Oh I am looking forward to tomorrow! Maybe I'll get to see the outside of the eves where I hear the birdies who have built a little nest!

Happy Memorial Day!

2007-05-27T18:43:00.000-07:00

Happy Memorial Day to all the kitties here in the US. I am happy that Momma will be around more. I like that. She will have to cram her work into just a couple of days this week but it means I get more attention time.

Momma and I were proud of Georgia. Last night she stood up on Momma's lap and swatted Chey for no good reason and made her leave. I laughed. Chey was not a happy cat. I don't care.

Momma says she can't recall where this shot was taken because it's at such an odd angle for her to see me! She said she must have been looking almost straight down when she tried to take this photo. She said, as usual, I looked away. I am very shy about photos!

Snoozing and Wondering

2007-05-23T19:41:00.000-07:00

So I slept much of the day yesterday. I had a wonderful dream. I dreamed that Momma paid as much attention to my blog as she does to Cheysuli's!

Then I dreamed that I got a huge dish of kitty crunchies and that's all we ate and Chey hated it! He he. Cheysuli doesn't like her crunchies but I love them.

Then I dreamed that Georgia was all better and I could chase her and not get in trouble. I dreamed that she was able to bite me again and toss me over on my side. Well, okay so she really does still bite me sometimes, but it's because I like it.

I dreamed that I got to chase lots of golf balls as the Almost Dad practiced his putting indoors again.

I also dreamed about my handsome Ping and we went walking on a nice safe sandbox!

Bugs

2007-05-21T23:06:00.000-07:00

Oh, Momma and the Almost Dad keep seeing trailers for a movie called Bugs. The Almost Dad thinks it looks creepy and doesn't want to see it.

Here's what I think. He knows that it's true cause it looks like it's about invisible bugs. He knows I can see invisible bugs and he doesn't want to know what those invisible bugs would do if I weren't around to protect him.

I'm right, aren't I?

Weekend Wrap Up

2007-05-20T10:55:00.000-07:00

Well I am out of the closet. You see, Cheysuli has been in more troulbe this weekend because she has been hollering at Momma when it's time to get up. Fortunately that means Momma thinks I am furry sweet! I am glad

We've been working in the yard in between the rain yesterday. I had to sit in the window and supervise. I think it will look nice if they ever get done. They have a huge pile of something called "bark dust". The Almost Dad said it was 15 yards. I don't know why they needed 15 yeards of bark when we only have one yard. Also why would they want bark instead of meow?

It's perplexing!

Still In Trouble

2007-05-17T07:45:00.000-07:00

Momma gotted mad at me again. I only mewed once (very loudly and piercingly) and I was meowing at the WALL and not at her. But she got up and picked me up by the scruff of the neck and said "NO NO NO!" very loudly in my face. Then she set me down.

I still really needed to yell at the wall but I didn't because I knew I'd REALLY be in trouble then. So I sat quietly and looked at her while she tried to go back to sleep.

I must go hide.
