THE BIG THING: Well, I finally opened one of the canned Addiction foods. This one was "Venison with Apples". Keep in mind that LC is a picky eater in her old age, Ayla is a pretty enthusiatic eater, and Iza will eat ANYTHING (and all that is available).
LC sniffed it and walked away.
Ayla tasted it and walked away.
Iza sniffed it, nibbled some, and walked away. But she was hungry (perpetually) so she came back. She took another nibble and walked away again. I tried to encourage her to eat it, but she wouldn't.
I finally opened a can of some regular stuff that isn't their favorite and they all chowed down on it.
The Addiction Venison is a "paws down" by all of them. And quite frankly, if Iza won't eat it, it can't be much good.
Tomorrow, the "King Salmon&Potatoes" flavor...

Sparrow Toy/Foods!
[THE BIG THING: Warning: If you love baby birdies, don't read further ...]
LC: Oh Bast, you bountiful goddess... The Big Thing brought 4 baby sparrows into the house (and he fergot ta take anny pictures) and dumped them into the bathtub... He hates those invasive English sparrows that nest in the Purple Martin houses.
It sorted out who was the lethal hunters. I got 3 of them. Ayla got 1. Iza had no clue. Oh she batted one around fer a couple minutes, but she didn't know what to really do with it. So I had to take it away from her (and whapped her hard fer being so dumb). That was my 3rd... They screeched SO nicely.
Baby birdies are SWEET!

Iza The Chewin Machine - Part 2
IZA: I love ta chew on stuff. One day The Big Thing woke up and found toofmarks all around the flaps of a box.
But I specially like noospapers, magazines, an tablecloths.
I got caught in the act taday! I dont get punished fer it or annything, but The Big Thing says mebbe I better start leaving the table clothing alone.
Plannin my attack of the fuzz unner the plastic table clothing...
My attack! I pull fuzz out.
Then I start pullin down noospaper.
Chew, chew, chew...
I finally just shove my face init and chew away... Ahhh.
Nothin better than chewin noospaper. Well, mebbe The Big Thing's Fingers...

Iza The Chewin Machine - Part 1
IZA: I love chewin on stuff. Magazines are especially fun cause they make noises when I chew and tear. Thats why one of my nicknames is "Chewmaga"! Annyway, The Big Thing tries ta protect his magazines.
He dint know that I dragged one inna corner where I couldnt be seen. I made a mistake though. I started werkin it over good when he was in the room. I stopped as soon as I realized he was there, but it was too late.
He reached unner the place I was hiding it an pulled it out. Its a good thing it wasnt a "keeper". He saves most of them fer some reason. [TBT: I save 2 woodworking mags plus Consumer Reports and Organic Gardening. The weekly science mag is not that useful to save] Here is what he found!
I went over ta show him my teckneek.
When he said I might as well have that one, I settled down ta admire my werk (and guard it from Ayla)!

Iza Box Trap -Part 2
AYLA: I gotta NEW idea, heh,heh...
If I cant trap Iza INNA box, I'll get her UNNER a box. The Big Thing was talking about a way ta get bunnies days ago, an I suddenly realized I might catch Iza that way...
If I cant trap her INNA box, mebbe I can trap her UNNER a box. An then jump on it...
Afternoon: So I dragged the box out ta the livin room, wrapped some string around something ta hold the box up, pushed a toy unner it, an waited out of sight.
She almost fell for it, but she pulled the squiggle out instead of pouncing it as usual; the box fell. That dint werk...
I set it back up and looked it over carefully. I figured there was some flaw. I checked the pull string. Nothin wrong there.
I efen checked inside the box fer "danger smells". Nothing there.
Evenin: When she went away, after playing with the squiggle fer a long time, I set it up again usin a toy she couldnt pull out so easy.
She almost went for it, but whapped the toy out again! Knocked the box flat, but she wasn't unner it.
Night. Im nothin if not persistent. I hadda try somethin new. I amembered she liked sittin in the laundry basket, an it was sittin at the top of the stairs waitin ta be used. So I used it. It took lots of head butts ta get it where I wanted it and upside down. An it took some werk to lift one end onna the string-pull thing. But I got it as I wanned it.
It werked SO GREAT. I jangled her little rattley ball unner it an she ran right in! Pulled the string, down came the laundry basket!
Yay! I caught Iza!
An wouldn't ya know, just as I jumped up to sit on the basket an keep Iza trapped, The Big Thing came up from the basement (needin the laundry basket) and gave me a severest "get down" command (I wont repeat it, but it sends chills ta the bones). I bolted fer unner the bed fast...
Oh well, at least I did trap Iza, an I had lotsa fun doin it.

Tummie Tuesday
IZA: Another tummy tuesday picture. I am SO RELAXED!
The Big Thing laffs that I can sleep wif a leg lifted right off the surface. I laff that he cant...
It doesn't look it, but my right rear leg is "floating".

Countdown Clocks
We gotta ask... We used ta have countdown clocks fer our Gotcha Days and Birfdays. But a couple kitties said they couldn't load our bloggie cause of them and we dumpted them. But we wanna show countdown dates fer Gotcha an Birf Days. We looked at lots of blogs an dint find any.
So does annykitty have them what doesnt cause trubble for Blogger or ofer readers?
--------------
And a separate subject... The Big Thing has a blog of his own an he allus tole us not ta mention it cause it was political rant stuff. But he deleted all that last month an made it a home an yard project bloggie. Some Beins knit or quilt, some travel, some write stories or songs. He does home and yard stuff. So, ta make a long tail short, we are now allowed ta mention his own bloggie.
Ya won't belief this, but he does not call hisself "The Big Thing". That is just our name for him. His own bloggie name is "Cavebear" an his own bloggie is Cavebear's Lair
Go visit it iffen ya want. It doesn't get us anny extra toona or ham either way. In fact, we hardly know what he is talkin about most of the time (well sometimes he builds stuff fer us, an THAT matters).

The Iza Trap Box
AYLA: The trap box dint werk out so good. I carried her favrit rattley ball in the room, shook it, and dropped it inna box. She ran right in and jumped inna box. It wasn't tight enough, cause she rolled all round in it and leapt out wif her ball. Drat. I need a smaller box. Mebbe one wif flaps I can fold over an sit on fer awhile... Mebbe I can drag one ta a spot where I can push somethin heavy onna the flaps...

International Box Day
AYLA: I decided ta be the BOX PRINCESS fer taday. I chose a good one. Not too big or too small, just right.
Ya know, iffen I could Iza in here, she might get stuck...
I could shake one of her rattly toys then drop it in... Yeah, that might work. He-he.
Why am I doin this, again? Oh, right, an Iza trap.
No toys, no treats in sight. Hmmm...
OK, Im done wif this. Time ta go find bait fer the box...

Thursday Thirteen Things - Eatin an Sleepin
We got ta thinkin about our differences. So we came up wif a list:
1. LC eats her food slowly.
2. Ayla eats fast but not much.
3. Iza eats fast, a lot. and then tries ta eat all leftover food (efen if someone is still there eatin). So she gets her dinner in a closed room an hasta stay there until we leave our bowls.
4. Iza is only a year old an weighs 10.5 pounds!!!
5. LC wont be a lap cat, but will come up next ta The Big Thing only when he hides most of hisself unner the blankets. An then she likes ta curl up "just" outta reach.
6. Ayla will curl up ON The Big Thing when he is unner the blankets, sittin up in bed, or when he is sittin onna chair with his legs stretched out onna ottoman.
7. Iza likes ta sleep in the bottom corners of the bed against the wood frame when The Big Thing is sleepin.
8. Ayla likes ta walk around The Big Thing inna bed constantly.
9. Then she likes to make biscuits on sensitive Big Thing parts...
10. LC loves ta paw the water bowl, them come up an shake her wet paws at The Big Thing's face. This gets her scritches.
11. Ayla likes ta lick The Big Thing's nose when he is asleep. Amazingly, this gets her scritches...
12. LC can get up and off the waterbed wifout makin anny waves. We cant (Ayla and Iza).
13. We know ta sleep on opposite sides of him, cause that makes him haf weerd dreams where he cant move (Ayla and Iza). So sometimes he gets up an we get breakfast early. Usually not though.
----------------
Now, about my birfday! When LC an Iza were both happen ta be outside, I got shrimpsies and ham!
The shrimpsies were fantastic! The ham was all little slices TBT uses fer sand witches and wasn't a good picture. But I loved it. The nip comes out later tonite fer all of us.

Its My Birfday?
AYLA: Oh Bast, it is! Wow, Im a whole 2 years old now. And I completely missed it. So did The Big Thing. Well, the calendar duties ARE kinda his job! He ran to look at the V-E-T records (he keeps track of that stuff, who knew?). We were ALL surprised. Well, LC said I am sposed ta at least remember mine own birfday, so maybe I am to blame. NOT! LC had amembered her own birfday wrong too, Just sayin...
It is too late fer even a dinner celery-bration (we already had dinner), so he says will will make a BIG deal of it tomorrow and pretend tomorrow is today! That means that LC and Iza go outside, the deck door gets closed, and I gett 2 shrimpsies an some ham an some nip all for mysef!
I'll show the foods an nip tomorrow, but I HAF to display some good picture of me (The Big Thing says so)...
Then after I haf had a great time runnin around the house at topspeed 3D (mostly not knockin annything down), LC and Iza can come in and we all get treats and nip and can run around together. Well, LC doesnt run very hard these days, but nip helps, if ya know what I mean.
So, seriously, thanks ta all my friends who amembered my birfday when I even didnt!!! You are all SO GREAT!

Red Fevver Games
IZA: My favrit toys are the green squiggle and some rattley toys. But sometimes I really get involved wif da red fevver. So I thought I would show ya all how much fun ya can haf wif them!
It isnt usually the same red fevver, cause I tear them up pretty good...
But The Big Thing seems ta haf a lotta them.
New ones keep showing up. Thats fine wif me...
But if I could figgur out where he keeps them...
I could go nuts fer a week!

I Got Even
IZA: Thanks fer the great ideas on how ta get efen wif Ayla for the Snipe hunt trip! I loved alla the ideas. I finally decided on one a them an a idea I had on my own.
First, when Ayla went in taday I stayed outside fer a while. The Big Thing an I planned it. He gave me a green fevver ta hide outside an he gave me a shrimpsie ta eat. So when I came in later, I made a big deal of licking my mouf and paws after carryin in the green fevver an some tall grass! Ha-ha, she was SO INNERESTED...
I tole her I finally caught one of them Snipes an it was SO tastey! Just like a shrimsie! She sniffed my breath an then wanned ta get outside so much, but The Big Thing wouldnt let her out. I tole her how EASY they were ta catch when I finally figured out the trick of it (but I wouldnt tell her what the trick was).
She kept goin ta the deck door and merfing ta get out, but no go!
I enjoyed that fer 2 hours. Then when she figured she would get out the next day and calmed down, I pulled my own trick.
So second, I climbed on the high platform of the kitty tower and napped. When I finally heard Ayla unnerneath, I quietly stepped off the edge. Just before I landed on her like a "bag of sand" (The Big Thing's words) I yelled "Snipe Attack". She made a kind of a flat "OOF" sound an ran scramplin away while I kept yellin "Snipe, Snipe, Snipe". She dint come out from unner the bed fer hours.
That'll teach her ta play tricksies on ME!

Ooh, I Got Tricked!
IZA: Im so mad at Ayla. She fooled me! I walked inna house last evening after huntin Snipes fer hours, there she was rollin on the floor laffin.
OK, so thats not Ayla, but it was the best I could find on the computer. But she was laffin at ME. Even LC was laffin, though she tried ta hide it behind her paw... I was confoosed.
Finally LC tole me there arent Snipes inna yard. I turned around an hissed at Ayla real good! But she was already outta the room and up onna bookcase where I cant get to. She jus curled up and napped while I yelled at her from the chair...
I am so embarassed. Can annyone help me think of a trick ta pull on Ayla? LC said she isnt gettin involved...

I Hunted Snipes Today
IZA: I was hafin trubble finding anny more mousies since that first one I got weeks ago, so Ayla tole me mebbe I would haf better luck findin Snipes. Cool, I wanna catch ANNYTHIN! But I tole her I had nefer SEEN a "Snipe", so she explained ta me that they are hard ta see cause their fevvers look like long grass. And they about the size of Robins but with long legs. But Iffen I sat real quiet fer a long time, I could hear them walkin around...
So she showed me a good place ta sit and wait, an I went there. Ayla said she would go inna house so as not to disturb that Snipes. That was nice of her.
Here I am sittin an waitin. I waited real good an quiet. I listened hard fer a long time. I watched real hard ta see iffen anny "grass" moved. I dint see anny. It was REALLY boring. I finally gave up.
Tomorrow, what happened when I went inna the house...

Being Lazy
LC: Let the brats go after the mousies. I am happier relaxin on the deck an the lawn these days. At least chasin real mousies outside and toy ones inside wears them out. As long as I see them out on the yard I know they won't be whappin my tail!
Or if I hear them across the yard, I can do a litle wandering on my own. I DO still like the tall grasses ta sit in.
Quiet, cool, shady, softy...

More Trainin
IZA: Sigh, Ayla is much better a huntress than I an. I try hard, but it just comes natural ta her. I mean, most days, she just says "well, I think I will go get a mousie, and SHE DOES"!
When I try it is not very good. The Big Thing calls Ayla "Running Chetah". He calls me "Waddling Cow". He says the only things I am good at hunting are his toes and fingers! Waah... Like it is MY fault I look more like a football than a cheetah...
Well at least Ayla tries ta help me learn ta hunt. Here she is whispering me advice about where some mousies are. I snuck over there an tried ta pounce them, but they weren't there when I did. Ayla laffed an said they heard me coming 10 yards away.
I practice on the toy mousies in the house all day long, but it doesn't seem ta help very much. I AM really good with those. I can grab them round corners, catch them wif my claws in mid-air, and bat them inta sumbission REAL good. But it isn't the same wif da real mousies.
I gotta get real better wif them...

I Got Let Out Today
AYLA: Since I stopped yowling in heat yesserday, I was let out today. YIPPEE! I love bein out. I ran all around the yard fer awhile. An can I ever run. The Big Thing says I must be part cheetah! He says he has seen a lotta cats run an I am the fastest ever! I am "Triple L" he says, "Lithe, Light, an 'lastic". I had fun pokin my head inta the long grasses and sniffin around too.
But after that, I started sneakin around the yard lookin fer mousies. I found a couple, but couldn't catch them. Well, 10 days locked up inside the house and ya lose the reflexes, ya know? And they WERE right next ta their hidey-holes... But at least I could still find them.
An I followed an odd smell a long ways. Sorta like squirrel, but not quite. It went along logs and the fence bottom. The Big Thing says it might have been a chippie-monk but he hasn't seen one here fer years. Well, if I catch it, that will show HIM! LOL!
Wait, that a mousie sound over there. I gotta check it out...
The sound vanished. It musta gone down its hole. I'll get it some other day.

Wait, that a mousie sound over there. I gotta check it out...
The sound vanished. It musta gone down its hole. I'll get it some other day.
