Thursday 13 - We Have Names!

We love our new names and we want to thank DARLING MILLIE! for coming up with the idea! Millie has won a goovy prize package and it's on it's way to New Hampster!

Mommy and Daddy had so much fun going over all of the possibilities, but they kept coming back to Siegfried and Roy! It just seems to fit them!

Hee-Hee...Now Siegfried and Roy can wear all the hats and stuff! I am off the hook!

Formerly Feral Friday - Hats and Hard Drives

The indignities I suffer! I am not afraid of hard work, I had to catch my own meals when I was feral. But Daddy said I had to help him with some of the chores in the garage - OK fine, no sweat Pops, but having to wear a HAT!? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Puff: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Parker: You'd better hush, I hear they have a tiny yellow tractor for you!

Mommy: Our hard drive is on life support. Hopefully we will have a new one on Monday. It's hard not having the "innernets" at home!
ps - Parker again: if you haven't voted for me yet PLEASE go here and vote - I'm donating any winnings to Churchill the Cat!

Halloween Costume Contest - Comments Please!

While I am on the best road trip with The Devil dog Crew (we are visiting Daisy today!). I have a favor to ask you. Would you click on my Halloween poem to my Daddy and leave a comment? I entered Skeezix's Halloween Costoom Contest. Since I dislike wearing clothes so much, I thought having this hat on for my costume was quite an accomplishment. I do think I look pretty scary here (if you could have read my thoughts when this photo was taken you REALLY would have been scared of me!). Diamond Doggy entered too! Thank-you so much for doing this - Smooches!

A HALLOWEEN POEM TO MY DADDY -
"BIG CAT EYES
FOR HALLOWEEN LOOM
I FLY LIKE A WITCH
ON MY CLAWED-UP BROOM
I WEAR A HAT THAT I JUST HATE
IF YOU DON'T TAKE IT OFF ME
YOUR EYES I'LL RAKE"

Fashion Friday From A Formerly Feral

Do you like my new collar?

It's a little bat!

Does it make me look fat?

It's better than wearing a hat.

I hate wearing clothes 'cause I'm a tough cat!

That's a pretty awful poem, I admit it! If you haven't already, please go and send your love and good vibes to Miss Peach who is feeling poorly. I am very, very worried about her. She is weak and will not eat. She really, really needs our purrs and prayers. Send her Mommy and Lap Daddy love as well. Smooches to all of you on this beginning of a weekend.

Wordy Wednesday

I'd like to tell you the whole story about my sister Puff and her great escape attempt. She scared the daylights out of Mommy and Daddy. We were all on the deck enjoying the afternoon and Mommy was snapping away with her pathetic phone camera. We were awaiting the 'nip fest promised to us and doing our normal deck-sniffing and exploring. Next thing we all knew was that my stupid sister Puff squeezed her ample self between the floor and the fence and started dancing around on the platform between the floor of the deck and the top of the garage. I have never, ever seen Mommy and Daddy move so fast! The rest of us were scooped up and unceremoniously dumped in the house. They had to get a VERY tall ladder that daddy climbed up and for a long, long time stood on the ladder and coaxed Puff to him. Mommy stood on the deck and waited. And waited. And waited. See, there is a gap between the floor of the deck and the top of the garage about 8 inches, just enough for Puff to explore every square inch of it. Nothing would get her to come to Daddy for the longest time. Temptations, catnip, stinky goodness...nothin'. She finally sauntered over to him after many many sweet "here kitty, kitty kitties." Daddy snatched Puff and handed her up to Mommy who brought her into the house.

Puff is grounded. Permanently. Once that happens she will do it again. Puff made a very poor choice, but one I can appreciate. I am still allowed on the deck as is Powder and Rudy. This is very upsetting to Puff - I feel bad for her, but I like going out on the deck. Soon the weather will be too cold for any of us to go out there and her feeling cheated will pass. Poor choice Sis, poor choice.

In other news I feel all warm and fuzzy...wait...I always feel warm and fuzzy! But I was given this great "I love your blog" award from Beau Beau and Angie and from Skeeter and LC. Isn't that groovy?!? Thank-you so much!

I want to give this award to Forty Paws. I love Maw and Paw and all the great kitties that they care for (Hi Dorfie!)

Have a great Wednesday everykitty. I leave you with a Halloween out-take shot.

"Rudy is in shock that Daddy still has two hands!"

Awwww, They're Getting Out Of Control!

Here is our home all ready for Halloween!

If you look closely, you can see the Halloween tree on the front porch.
Pumpkins and Scarecrows!
Kitties hiding in the Mums!
Kitties sitting on pumpkins!
Boo! Halloween is everywhere...
Except on me!

ps - I'll be at Jack's party today - come join me! It looks like a blast!

Formerly Feral Friday - A Warning to Mommy

We all chipped in and bought Mommy a card.

I hope she heeds the warning!
P.S. , Just an idea!
Happy clothes free Friday from a feral who has not forgotten how to act feral!

Easy Like Sunday - So Far!

This morning I was watching the action outside while Mommy and Daddy were having coffee at the dining room table. Here's me before I heard them talking...
Mommy: There is a Halloween contest at Skeezix's blog. I think Parker should enter.
Daddy: What does she have to do to enter?
Mommy: She has to wear a costume, we take a photo of her and enter.
Daddy: Really? We're going to try to put a costume on Parker???
Mommy: Yeah, What do you think we should try to dress her up as?
Daddy: I don't know, but I'll get the first aid kit ready...

Here's me after...

Dress me up? You're kidding right? You're going to try to get me to put clothes on? That better be one big first aid kit...

Freaky Friday! Hat Edition

Daddy made me wear his hat. Oh yeah, good times...NOT!

Hey Dad, the infamous Paw of Death works on humans too, ya' know! Diamond Doggy thinks he's stylin' in his hat. I didn't have the heart to tell him otherwise.

I don't know how the Cat In The Hat did it.

Something That Is NOT Moving With Us To O Hi O

Earlier this year my Mommy thought it would be a good idea for me to have a tiara since I am such a royal cat. For the kitties who did not see the results of my brief modeling career click here. I'll wait...
O.K. - So you saw how much we enjoyed that.
The tiara needs to go. But not with us. I asked Mommy to do me a favor and send it to a friend of mine. I think my friend will enjoy it more than I did. Can you guess where it went to? Some kitty will be getting a package from the man in the blue shorts soon. Wear it in good health and keep it away from O Hi O!

So long you stupid tiara!

Rudy Wins The Last Round of Tent Wars

The battle was rough, but Rudy wins by a whisker.

Rudy is confused about being a Tuxedo catp.s. - Parker here -There isn't enough catnip in the world to get me to pose like Rudy did!
