Mommy's Back

Mommy is back after 1500 miles in 2 days. WHEW! I had a ton of fur that needed brushing. I love her so much and she loves me.

Mommy said to be sure to tell each and every one of you fanks for the precious wishes, prayers and thoughts for her and her family.

Lots of purrs and headbonks..sending purrs back to all of you.

Just a note

Kitties! (and one doggy),

Mommy and I are going away Thursday early early for 3 or 4 days and nights way up North. We won't be able to purr for you in person here but we'll be thinking of you..honest.

Mommy said her bruffer went away always yesterday morning so we are going to see him and purr for him.

See you soon and head bonks to all of you.

Oh Noes...strangers here

Mommy let a stranger bean in the house and he's making all kinds of smelly colored stuff all over the kitchen! My litterbox is in the kitchen! I am under the bed with this laptop trying to last it out. No foods..no PP..I am going to go on strike!!! I have a water dish in the bathroom too as well as the kitchen but mommy better bring in the foods!!!

I'm mad! M-A-D mad!

I promised last blog I would show mom who is boss. I did the red herring thing to prepare for my little punishment for her...leaving me all alone into the mid evening. The red herring was climbing up into bed with her first thing last night (I know she loves that) and allowing myself to fall asleep all snugged into her neck and shoulder. (That alone is worth the sacrifice because I know she won't move even if she's uncomfortable, for fear of disturbing me).

After seeing her off into dreamland, I left for my work of the night..patrolling and keeping us safe along with some power sleeping. I had a plan.

It unfolded, that plan, with me jumping onto the bed about 2am and right onto her side with a hard landing. That was on purpose you may be sure. It woke her though she thinks she is discouraging me by not responding. So I took my front paws and made a scrubbing-like motion which I knew was sure to waken her. She tried to ignore me and go back to sleep. Fine. I left but there was a method to my madness...I came back maybe an hour later and did the same thing. I wanted her UP and paying attention to me after all that fawning over the baby kitten Coco last evening.

I finished my work by insistently calling at 6am like it or not. She laid there anyway like a doofus but I could tell she was wide awake.

She gave up at 6:30 and got up. Of course she greeted me properly. I have been calling periodically the rest of the morning. No reason. Just because I can.

So. We'll see who wins this battle. You can see me in my picture..no worries!

Begone, ye Scurvy Beastie!

That title is what mom said to me last night and this morning when I repeated my speech to her at 0630. She didn't go to bed till late last night as she and her oldest were learning functions of their new iTouch devices. And mom was downloading Apps from the Apple Store. Meanwhile, when she finally got to bed, she had a hard time falling asleep due to outdoor exercise and plenty of sunshine on her while she was out there. She said it was a great day and too bad I could not enjoy it with her. I hesitated to say that I was reposing in the sun the entire DAY...not for an hour or so as she did! So..who got the best of the deal..that would be me!

Meanwhile, she lay there sleepless but with her eyes closed and she must have dozed lightly finally because when I broke all the rules and came in there at midnight and meowed loudly two times, she jumped and I could tell she was hacked.

My middle name ain't "Stupid" so I hopped up and pretended that was my intent all along..to help send her off into peaceful slumber. She didn't buy it.

I walked up to her and laid my head on her pillow with her..facing her. She cracked her eyelids open..I saw her do it! and saw the lump I make there in bed with my head next to hers. I know what gets her every time though. I got comfortable and then...and then...I stretched my two arms out fully and put my paw pads on her mouth. She always said after all of these years, she's not dead and her lips didn't fall off..so she just enjoys the warm pads I put there for her enjoyment. I had to pull out all the stops because I could tell from her reaction when I broke the night time rule of meowing..she was irritated. So, I hurried up to charm her with my sweet self. Works every TIME I tell you.

I didn't have to walk the plank..I wasn't unceremoniously thrown out and the door closed. Hey. Do I know how to work her or what?

I Tried to Warn Mommy

You know..what is so hard to understand about the tail? If the tail is thumping and switching back and forth..most normal mommies and daddies know to stop doing whatever they are doing. But does mommy? No.

So I did the only thing left to do after minutes of warning. I laid a bitey on her thumb as she made another pass with the brush.

It wasn't much..the point of my right fang made a pinpoint spot on her thumb. That got her attention. I was sorry it came to that and I withdrew my thumb claw as well. I think my claw is what really penetrated her thumb not that I think on it. But, it got (pardon the pun) my point across.

Would this face lie?

Oh No, she DIDN'T!

Mommy is getting ready to go out. She has her camera with her and the close up lens was just put on! I know what THAT means! It means she is not going to take pictures of ME!

What kind of deal is that? Just because I make her grovel and low crawl on the floor and walk on her elbows and all the other stuff I can think of, doesn't mean she shouldn't try!

Here is the Silver Claw Award award for Purrfect Haven that my Assistant with whom I live mistakenly left out last time. I hope the kitties who live there see it and will like it. It's for Power Sleeping. Mommy said to me that I take the cake for sleeping. I think she meant the medal..I think.

I know what she's going to do. She's going out to the arboretum for more pictures of flowers so as to post them to that other place she likes, Flickr. Sometimes I have to look at my watch and clear me throat several times to get her off the computer so I can go ON!

That's fine! Wait till she points that clicky box at ME again! Get your knee pads on Mommy!

Oh, you'd have to be there!

I'm tired of Mom following me around with that flashy box! It doesn't go off much 'cause she fiddles with it to get a picture without it since I always close my eyes! But I still wish she wouldn't keep doing that clicky thing. I keep going to places that look bad in the background and she just does the clicky anyway!
I am almost smiling though here because she is sprawled on her belly flat out and clucking, calling and making silly noises and I wouldn't look over..till now.
I'm being a catloaf.

Happy Furry Friday

I personify fur!! Looka this!

Mommy Said

Mommy said I invited thugs in to party with while she was gone. That wasn't nice of her at ALL!

She said that because she was gone for 12 hours, and when she returned...the water dish had been moved to the center of the kitchen, and yes, it was overturned onto the wooden floor. Just because that happend by no means says that I had invited my cat friends in to have a kitty party, despite what SHE considers as evidence. We would never turn over our party dishes and how dare she imply that they were careless..not that any of the, were here, mind.

It was all simply circumstantial and there was likely an earthquake that shook the dish into the center of the room. And turned it over. And caused the warp place from water seeping under the floor boards. That she had to try to dry up. Don't jump to conclusions Mom. It wasn't me..and it wasn't my friends. Ask them.

But I will pledge to not move the furniture and accouterments--not that I did, mind.

Just because I moved my toys all to the spare room should not be a pointer at ME that I would overturn the water dish, Mom.

Tortie Tuesday

Happy Tortie Tuesday, Kitties. From one Tortie to another and to all kitties everywhere no matter their color.

PURRS and Headbumps

Daisy the Curly Cat: Bee-ing Happy!

Daisy the Curly Cat: Bee-ing Happy!

This is Harley enjoying his wonderful prizes and his sister Daisy too..trying to enjoy Harley's prizes with him. I just loved this, but then, I just love those two.

I was a good girl!

I was a good girl, not a worrisome one. I had to smile reading Keas comment and Spitty's comment on yesterday's blog though when they said how their human freaks out when they doesn't eat every bite of food, or sleeps a little more, or changes his litterbox habits for the day..anything at all and they said their humans should get a life! Well, I'll tell you, so should mine. Just because I have Hyperthyroidism, doesn't mean I'm going to keel over, mom! Gees marie!

She freaks all the time if I so much as do what I did the other day and veg out in my fur jammies under the bed. Big DEAL Mom! Spitty gave me the courage to speak out..just like him. (and too, I want him to notice me as the fine lady cat I am..I certainly have noticed HIM and that manly black nose and satin furs he has!!)

But I digress. Her human son was here for overnight and left this afternoon and so I enjoyed his visit and petting and many kisses on my beautiful furs. So, I let them sleep with no horn blowing until I got mommeh up at 6:30. that was very nice of me..and I could tell she appreciate it since I was a loud active girl the night before and she got little sleep.

Anyhoo..good night kitties..have sweet dreams. I'm going to go to bed with mommeh and help her read.

Better today

I gave mommy a break from worry and I have been out and about per my usual. It was as you kitties said..I just didn't tell her that I wanted to be by myself and just do cat stuff and think cat things and not keep my furs arranged just so and all in place and gleaming. Just vegging out, ya know? She does that. Why does she get so concerned when *I* do that? Gee.

I tried to let her know last night that I was OK because I did come to bed with her to help her read. She always puts the book down soon as I get up there because that way, she has two hands free to pet me and hold me close. Takes her a long time to get those bedtime books read, let me tell you. She picks up the book and gets a paragraph read and here I come. That's the price of having a furbaby.

But I digress. I came up..we laid there quiet and still..I had my head on her forearm and the rest of me along the rest of her arm and I went to sleep. She did too and when she did, I just got up and left! She always wakes when I do that but I just show her the end of my feathers (tail) and leave! HA! Sleep on MY visit..I leave!

Poor Mom

I have been scarce with my company today. Got mom out of bed at the crack o' dawn. Got fed..ate a decent breakfast and then, after half an hour, I repaired to my chamber under her bed. Sigh. No looking at my Nature TV out the front door while it was open before the bad heat of the day. No playing. Mom got me out by calling "Brush?" but I left after a few strokes of the brush. I stayed in most of the day and only came out at 4 to be fed, brushed for real, and loved on. I have been laying in the hallway since but at least, I am out of my inner sanctum.

No, far as mom can tell I am not unwell. I went to the Vet last week. I just seem a little grouchy.

Bunches of Hots Out There

Kittehs, it is 95 degrees in the hots right now out there and likely to be a degree or so higher. The rest of the week it will be 98 degrees each day but mom didn't say what the "feels like" will be. I am so fortunate to be an indoor Queen and not having to be extra hot outside wearing my long furs. I am in a cool sun puddle inside on the cool wooden floor. I'm worried about all the kitties and doggies who have to live outside and how they must be hot and thirsty. Makes me sad.

I picked up an award from mom's friend. You can see it's a doggie who gave me the award. He made me an honorary member of his pack because I told him some kitty secrets so he could get along with Oreo and Angel better. Oreo is one of those on again-off again kittehs and it confuses Flash. He asked my help since I am an Admiral and all. Sailing the high seas gives me more experience in doggie-kitty matters. Thank you so much Flash. I am honored.

I hope Brighton and Harley are alright. I can't wait to hear from them.

Meows and Purrs to all of you. Head bumps too.

The Admiral's Silver Claw Award

The Admiral wishes to confer her Silver Claw Award to some kitties today.

The Silver Claw Award is for kitties who excel in power naps, despite distractions and noises where they are napping. They nap on, regardless of kisses laid on their heads and sides and even in the in the face of gentle petting. See the Admiral's Choice Silver Award here in this page, on the right.

These coveted prizes are being awarded to:

Katnip Lounge

Curlz and Swirlz

The Island Cats

Congratulations, Kitties. Well done, Power Nappers.

Mommy is just learning how to do this and gave up before she got other kitties awarded. She and I will be back. We are in the learning mode.
