The Rudy Report

HiDeHo HiDeHay kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Seeing me chow down really makes the 'rents happy. I was supposed to go and see Dr. Wendy today for my final Hemobartinollis check, but the appointment got moved to this Friday. Yay! Mommy is sure I have gained back all of the weight that I lost and I really seem to be back to my ol' orange menace self. Do you know what I did this weekend (besides eat)? I jumped up on the dining room table and almost made a big mess. The 'rents put a red tablecloth on the table and I forgot about that. When I jumped the tablecloth slid and I almost made everything on the table come crashing down, including a Pepe LaPew cookie jar that my Mommy is pretty fond of. oops... it was a good thing that Mommy was sitting there to grab it or I would have been in a bit of a pickle.
Here in God's deep freeze we are supposed to get about a foot or two of snow tonight. This is the time of year when the 'rents get a little cabin fever and start talking about how nice it would be to see a little springtime in the air. I know I'd like to see a little deck time and some fresh catnip. But, I am afraid that's a few months off. So in the meantime, I'll keep chowing down. One last thing kitties -

'Scuse me!

Snow Wussy

Sigh...It's true. If only they made litter boxes for 50 pound doggies...

I do not like snow. Daddy has to shovel a little path for me to go out and do my business. You really can't blame me, right? How would you like have to - well - you know, outside in the freezy cold?!?

View From My Kitchen Window

Irresistible Me!

There is nothing better than a warm blankie on top of a radiator when the temperature is 3 degrees outside. I'm such a lucky girl. Now if I can just get Mommy to leave my delicious toesies alone...step off Mommy, I need my beauty sleep!

The Rudy Report

I Taste Good!

Greeting and salutations kitties! Here I am, RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Here in Gods deep freeze, we've been hanging out in the kitchen watching Mommy cook things. She made a lot of stuff, some of it was good, some of it was not something I would rate high on the kitty scale of nommy. Brownies are nothing I'd ask her to give a repeat performance on, but pork ribs, make 'em again! She made potato pancakes and I was sort of lukewarm about those. It is a lot of fun snoopervising and she's very entertaining to watch.

It is freezy cold here and I feel so bad any animals who are stuck outside. Daddy feeds the birds and the squirrels, I watch them chow down and they seem fine with the weather.

Next Monday I go to see the lovely Dr. Wendy for my (hopefully) last Hemobart check-up. Given the fact that I run around and play like my tail is on fire and I eat like there is no tomorrow, I am hoping for a great report. If the report is good, it's bad. Why? Because I'll have to endure a grooming. Since I am less than pristine with my grooming habits, I'll need to make an appointment with Tiffany, my personal groomer and get all sleek and de-matted.

As Roseanne Rosannadanna would say - "it's always something..."

Keep those tails high kitties...

Pupsicle Toes

Baby it's cold outside. Here is another reason I am glad I use an indoor litterbox. He's lucky his hiney doesn't freeze to the sidewalk!

Wordless Wednesday

Decisions, Decisions...

There's a spot of sun where I am sitting now, and there is food cooking in the kitchen. Do I stay here and enjoy the sunspot or do I go in the kitchen and use my pathetic kitty look and score a snack?
Decisions, decisions...

The Rudy Report

Snug as a bug in a rug...

G'Day kitties, here I am, RUDY! With your Rudy Report. Oh the joys of a Ham-Mick. Naps are better in them, they make you feel like you are floating on a soft cloud full of love and peace. And that's what I did for a lot of the weekend, I napped and snacked. The 'rents were generous with some awesome pot roast tastes and I keep eating like a little piggy. Mommy is so happy about this! Daddy had a fun Sunday watching his Bears and Mommy cooked and baked and generally hung out in the kitchen with us while the cold O Hi O weather reminded us how lucky we are in our forever home.

I overheard that I am going to go back to see Dr. Wendy on January 31st. I am OK with this as I feel great and don't mind showing Dr. Wendy how well I am doing. My newest game is batting leaves off of our Boston Fern. It's so much fun, I don't understand why Daddy gets annoyed when I do it. 'Rents, who knows what makes them tick...

Anyhow kitties, I hope your Monday is wonderful, I am planning on helping Daddy cook some pork chops. Maybe if I put on my cute face I'll get a taste or two...or three.

Keep your tail held high and have the best Monday possible. Peace out.

Blissed-out Puff

If we ever want to find the Puffster, all we have to do is come in the living room. I swear she hasn't moved from this spot since November...

Our New Haute Couture

Both Rudy and I were long overdue for new collars (aka haute couture) and one of the places we like to shop for our new collars is Feline Fido. They have a good selection of collars and they last a long time. Most important to us is that they donate a portion of their profits to animal charities. On Saturday our new collars came from the man in the long bloo underwear - we were excited because this means that we get to run around naked while Daddy says bad words about his nails being too short and fusses about how hard it is to put our ID tags on our new collars! All in all, if you are a cat, it's pretty good entertainment.
I was going to let you guess who got what collar, but here's how it was decided. We let Daddy choose. His reasoning is as follows -
~ I get the peace sign since Daddy likes peace signs and I am the star of this show.
~ Rudy got the Bumblebees because he's always buzzing around chasing us and  being antagonistic! HE CALLED RUDY ANTAGONISTIC! HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!
...I love Daddy.
~ Feline Fido did not pay us to promote their products. Feline Fido probably does not even know about me or this blog! ~

The Rudy Report

Hellllllo kitties! It's me RUDY! - with your Rudy Report! Diamond Doggie and I have a pretty good relationship. Us guys have to stick together in a home full of female felines. He's got my back and I've got his. Or is it he has my hiney and I have his??? Anyway...it is bone chilling cold outside and we like to keep each other toasty on the love seat. Diamond has his froot bats up because there were people actually walking on the sidewalk in front of our house!!! It's his job to keep all of us safe from people walking outside on the frigid cold sidewalk.
I'm very happy to report that I FEEL GREAT! I've put a lot of the weight back on that I lost and I am playing, having attacks of the kitty-crazies and have even felt the wrath of the evil spray bottle a few times when I thought it might be fun to dive-bomb ambush my sibs. The 'rents say that I have turned the corner this week. I have no idea what that means - I turn a lot of corners every day...
In other news, I had a new collar come from the man in the bloo long underwear. Parker got a new collar as well. She'll show them to you later this week. We'll be stylin' our winter fashions! As far as what's been going on in the food report, I'm happy to say that the Stinky Goodness continues to flow freely to keep me bulked up. Mommy made some stuff that I think looks and smells disgusting - here take a look - that's not anything fit for a cat...

Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting - Yuk!

Can you believe that Daddy actually likes these things??? 'Rents...I just don't understand them...

Happy Monday kitties, I'll catch you later.

The Serengeti At Sunset

The Serengeti at dusk...

During treat time we like to have a little fun. Just pretend it's sunset and we are all wild lions and one confused jackal at our watering hole! ROAR!!!

The Rudy Report - NOT!

Perfectly Parker Has Returned

Well Howdy kitties - Parker here, NOT Rudy. I am takin' back my blog for a day to tell you how I am doing. How am I doing you ask? I am fine! I am gorgeous, I am cute and full of smoochies. I am interesting and playful. I may or may not have gained a little weight as a result of all of the stinky goodness that has been used to get my pesky brother to eat. I also may have earned the nickname of Hoover since I hate to see food go to waste. I just wanted you all to know that I am still the author of this blog and I plan on keeping my beautiful puss in front of the camera as often as I can in 2011. That's my resolution. And that orange menace in the background? Pay him no mind, he's just there for decoration!
For those of you like me who have to watch your Mommy go back to work after a great week of vacation, I feel your pain. But the 'rents have to do that, someone has to hunt for the green papers, and I am glad it's not me!
