Fangs for the Memories

Some of you may not realize it but I am missing a tooth.  Notice in the picture above you can only see one.  The story behind its removal is still my secret but don’t worry, I don’t miss it, much.  Meowmy still gets upset about it when she sees my remaining one but I just remind her that it doesn’t hurt.  Are there any furry friends out there that has the same issue?

Busy Busy Busy!

Meowmy has been running around like crazy lately!  The month of May is full of celebrations and we are almost finished with them all.  First there is Meowmy’s birthday, that was on the ninth.  She had a great one.  She bragged that it was more like Christmas than a birthday.  She got a laptop from her mom & dad and a bike from almost dad, Bob.  She doesn’t have a picture of the laptop but here is her new bike.

I suppose it’s nice but its still a little scary for me when she rides close to me.

After that it was Mother’s Day and another birthday to celebrate.  And last weekend she was helping Bob celebrate his birthday!  He got lots of nice stuff like new clothes and glass figurines and movies and stuff.  They celebrated on Saturday by spending the day swimming.  Meowmy said it was super fun.

Now Memorial Day is coming up and then June will bring it’s own craziness with it, 2 birthdays and 2 anniversaries. I hope somewhere in all of it that she can still find the time to post for us kitties.  Lately we’ve been feeling neglected and need more attention and blogging time.  I’ve put her on notice and have been ignoring her steadily and not sleeping inside at night so I think she is getting the message.

Well that’s all for now.  I’ve got to get back to my bathing.  Talk to you all again soon!

Mancat Monday

Rule # 3.  Always be sure to ruin good photo ops.  Do your best to always look away from the flashy box right as your person snaps the picture.  Or even just close your eyes. Here are some prime examples.

Many Thanks

Thank you all for coming to my 5th birthday party. I had a blast! We wore Meowmy out really good, she has been recovering for the past few days. Ha ha! Mancats don't fool around when it comes to birthdays. lol. She took some pictures during the party so hopefully I can get her to post them sometime soon. But guess what!?! We've got another birthday to celebrate! Tomorrow is Holmie's 16th birthday. Sweet 16! In case you don't remember, Holmie is our almost older brofur that lives with Meowmy's boyfreind Bob. So we will be partying again tomorrow, be sure to stop by and help us celebrate a very special mancat.

Mancat Mond...err, uh Tuesday

Mancat Rule #2: When your Meowmy misses a blog deadline, make sure to let her know YOU were ready and waiting so it was all HER fault.

Hey there...

Things have been pretty good lately. I've been spending lots of time making biscuits on my girl's healing belly. She says it's ok and it doesn't really hurt any more. I'm glad cause I'm working on a new flavor for my biscuit factory and I need to get some samples out A.S.A.P.! So far I make blueberry, dingleberry, meatloaf and of course cheddar biscuits. What kind do you make?

Mancat Monday

Tip #1. Always blend into your surroundings.

Hello again!

It's been so long since you have seen any of us the typist thought it would be a good idea to refresh your memories. We are still as cute as ever, you can plainly see. Lots has been going on here at our house.

Christmas came and went. We really enjoyed ourselves under that tree. Scotchy especially liked to hang out under there but she would constantly test her limits by chewing on all the colorful lights. She would be quickly evicted but she always came back for more. Aunt Josey sent us some lovely presents that involved nip, of course. She really knows how to pick 'em! Sugar tried to bring home her own present for everyone, but she let it go as soon as she got in the house and forgot to make it dead first. We all tried to help get it back under paw but we just couldn't get the job done. We were too busy being shy because Meowmy's Gramma was visiting. The Food Lady finally captured it and let it out the back door. Sugar was quite insulted but she got over it when the Party Mix came out.

New Years was a bit lonely. Meowmy left us alone for the first time after her surgery. We didn't know what to do with ourselves without her here. Lucky for us she hurried home the next morning, unlucky for her it was because she was in pain cause she tried to celebrate a bit too much. She thought she was healed enough to get back to her social life, turns out she really wasn't. It took her way longer to get better than she had ever anticipated. She's only just now strong enough to get back into the swing of things.

Which brings us to Valentine's Day. We sure had a nice one! As reward for being such good nurse kitties the Food Lady got us a great present! We got a CAT TREE!! It's fantastic! It has three levels you can sit on, and you can scratch the whole thing and never get in trouble! Even when you put a BIG hole in it the first week you have it --Scotchy. Plus Meowmy got sprayable nip to put on it to help it smell nice and yummy. We also get prizes in the form of Temptations when you climb all the way up to all the platforms. Scotchy has created a maneuver that allows her to circle the main pole while lying on her side. It's truly an inspired move. Anyways, it stands in the kitchen in front of the huge windows that over look our back porch and the woods behind the house, so you know there is plenty of eye candy. It goes all the way to the ceiling! We also got our very own lazer mouse toy and have created several games the have us climbing up and down that tree. It's the best time we've had in a long time!

Oh, yeah, Meowmy said that she had a nice time on Valentine's Day with Almost Dad, Bob. He made her a seafood dinner and brought her sugar free candies and pretty rose petals. He asked her what she would like such as a teddy bear or knick knack. She asked for a 6 pack of Aquafina raspberry water instead! Weird isn't she? Actually we're quite proud of her because that was a healthy request. She has been working really hard on getting healthy. On Friday she got weighed at the doctor's office and she has lost 82lbs! Woo hoo! Way to go Meowmy! Headbonks for everyone!

We would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you who have been stopping by to continue to show your support. We have missed you all too! Your encouragement has really helped us keep Meowmy's spirits up. We hope to soon be back on a more normal blogging schedule but until then we will still be keeping up with you, our friends.

I Gots Nip Too!

I gots the munchies now. Anyone have some Party Mix?

Laundry Day

Stryder: Nothing to see here...just your regular laundry pile...EXACTLY how you left it Meowmy.Kellykat: Hmmm...somthing tells me that's not really true. Let's take a closer look. Uh, what's that white thing mixed in with my darks?

Stryder: Nothing. Nope, nothing to see here, go about your business. Your eyes must be playing tricks on you.

Kellykat: Stryder! You silly kitty. Your not laundry. You don't want to get washed now do you? You wouldn't like it.

Stryder: Darn it Meowmy! You ruined it! I was waiting for the Scotchy Monster to jump up on my bed. I was gonna put the bitey on her. Ah well...back to the drawing board.

Mancat Monday--by Stryder

Being a mancat is hard work. Like in this picture I am still on the job.



First I checked out my food situation. It was OK, plenty of cheerios to get me through til my morning stinky goodness. But I decided that my water bowl was not fresh enough. I poured it out onto the carpet so that Meowmy would freshen it up.



Then I went into the dark cave of the closet to make sure there were no evil monsters hiding in there. It seemed to be all clear. I was expecting a Scotchy monster. Only thing evil in there were some dirty socks.



When I came out she still hadn't gotten me my water. What gives lady!?! Just cause your watching Iron Chef America does not mean that I should have to wait til a commercial. Cat Cora would definitely not approve!



After a few more disapproving looks she finally got up and did my bidding. It was just a coincidence that a commercial was on. She knows how things work around this mancat's house.

Scotchy Tales Tuesday--by Scotchy

Ya know, sometimes I just don't get enough action.

I tried knocking her paper onto the floor but that wasn't any fun. She just shook her head at me and left it there. Doesn't she know that she is supposed to come down here and let me wrap my claws around her arm so I can bunny kick while I put the bitey on her?

I have to resort to being cute. That's my secret weapon. I'll lure her in with the promise of sweet soft kitty belly or the fluffy silk of my little white chin. There's no way she could resist. Could you blame her?

What!?! A foot!?! Are you kidding me!?! No, no! You're supposed to come from the other side! The other side!! How can I possibly attack you like this?

Sheesh! I give up.

Something terrible happened while the typist was away. We are so sorry to hear about Forest. She was a beautiful kitty that we were just beginning to get to know. We will miss her.

***********************************************

Today's Mancat Monday post is about hunting.

Whenever your Meowmy gets out the mousy on a stick, its your job to hunt it down. But don't forget to smile for the camera!

Be sure to lick it really good, sometimes it has catnip in it.

Oh and always be sure to get your claw stuck in it so that she has to repeatedly remove the toy from your grasp. This makes it easier to get in some pets or chin scritches since she's down there anyway.

See ya next time!

Tummy Tuesday

Magazine Photo Shoot--by Stryder

We have been very busy the past few days. Meowmy decided that we are too cute to not share with the world so she arranged for us to be on the cover of our very own magazine! We have spent lots and lots of time on grooming so that we could look our best. There were toes to lick, whiskers to wipe, ears to rub, faces to clean and furs to smooth. After all our preparations heres what we made!

First it's the mama kitty (at least MY mama kitty) Sugar. Sugar is 5 years old. She was rescued from a big pack of angry dogs on the side of the road. She was nothing but skin and bones when she was saved. Look at her now!




Next up is Butterscotch (a.k.a. Scotchy, Meatloaf & Scootcher). She is a feral kitty who decided that we needed her. She started appearing on the back porch about 3 1/2 years ago and made herself at home. She began by just having the occasional meal when it suited her but quickly decided that she needed to be inside where she could cause the most trouble. She and Sugar do not get along too well. Scotchy wants to be Queen Bee but Sugar has to remind her, that position is already filled. Queen Bee or not, isn't she beautiful?

Now its my turn. This is for all you lovely lady cats out there. Here I am practicing my man cat pose. I keep my healthy weight by stalking bugs and other little critters. I am 4 years old and I live both indoors and outside. I get to come and go as I please but mostly I prefer napping inside on the bed with my Meowmy. I am very snuggly and I like to purr. Check me out!

And finally, this is a special appearance by our freind Holmes. Holmes (a.k.a. CJ, Burrito, Homey or Amigo) lives with Meowmy's boyfriend Bob. He is 15 years old! Can you believe it!?! I look up to him and hope to be as smart as he is one day. He is also a spitfire. He once knocked a tooth out of a doggie's mouth! He has lots and lots of long furs. He has more attitude than we do so he chose to be on a different cover. Ladies, watch out for him, he loves them and leaves them so this cover seemed appropriate.

Well thank you for visiting us and checking out our photo shoot. It was lots of fun. After all this blogging I'm ready for some kitty krunchies and a long nap. See ya next time!
