Party at My House!

Don't forget to go and see my piggy auction for Project HAM!

As some of you know, there are a squillion beans coming to my home today for a human party. We are being put up in the "kitty nursery" while they are here. Abby and Boo had a very good idea. They thought that kitties should teleport over and have a party of our own! I think that sounds like a great idea. I asked Mommy if it would be OK and she said that it would be fine - the more the merrier! We have a huge nursery. We have a futon and we have kitty cubes and snuggles and Gizzies and toys and food and 'nip and lots of bathroom facilities! Would you be my guest? We have a huge window in the room and we can make faces at the beans coming up the walk. Mommy couldn't help be much in the hosting department 'cause she will be tearing her hair out, er ah, I mean busy, downstairs! Please join me, we'd love to see our friends and have our own holiday party - Diamond can wait on us and give us pony rides, he's real good at that!

Sigh...O.K., I'll give you rides...

Here's the Kookies Mommy decorated till early o'clock.

This is our kitty tree - all animal decorations!

Please come over, our house is the one in O Hi O with the jingle bells on the door!

Hope to see you here everykitty! Smooches!

Formerly Feral Friday

Well everykitty, tomorrow is the big day. The social function/gathering/party with 120 beans invited will take place. I can't even begin to explain to you how busy and annoying things are around here. This little kitty in the tree has the right idea. Everyone should slow down and take a nap.
We will take a lot of pictures for you to see some of the decorations and food. Today is cookie-making day. They won't be Kitty Kookies, but they will be made from the same recipe. There are also strangers coming over to help clean the house. There have been strangers coming over all week. Some strangers came over made all of our furniture clean and fur free. Some more strangers came over and hung up wreaths and swags and brought even more decorations! And tomorrow - AAAIIIEEE! All of those strangers! But Mommy says that I should not worry, all of us will be in the "kitty nursery" with our food and water and boxes and beds. We can peek out of the upstairs window and watch if we want.
This kitty has a twin. They will stay downstairs and help greet the guests. They are the strong, silent type of kitty.
Our copy of WATK came this week! I am published! There are a lot of good stories and poems and stuff in it. You should get a copy of it! You can buy it here.
Who would have thought, a formerly feral kitty like me would live in a warm home, have plenty of love and good care AND be published!?! Life is good. I am so grateful. Now...if I could just convince the folks NOT to have that stupid party...
Oh, one more thing, check out my auction for Project HAM!- everyone needs a little holiday piggy!

Thursday 13 - Stuff I Want To Say

I have a lot of stuff to say today. I decided to make it a Thursday 13.

• First of all, I love you guys. The Diabetes sidebar that many of you are sporting means so much to me and my family. Don't misunderstand, just 'cause my Mommy has Diabetes doesn't mean she doesn't lead a full, happy life. Diabetes just makes her have to take medicine, watch what she eats and poke herself with a needle to check her bloods. It's a sneaky, expensive pain-in-the tail disease. Take good care of yourselves, you really don't want to get Diabetes! That's enough about that!
• Isn't this photo wonderful? I really like it. It brings out my love eyes and my pretty furs. It's a good thing I am not too much in love with myself
• My Mommy has to travel for her work again. She flies off this morning. What could possibly be in Atlanta that is more important than me?
• The Kitty Kookie recipe is easy. You go to a store and find a pre-mix (dry) and add water. The brand is Krusteaz. It rocks! Daddy says it is the yummiest brand. Mommy wouldn't know as she can't eat them. See #1.
• The kitties whiskers are made with black licorice. It requires a razor, patience and a glass or two of wine. Daddy is the whisker maker. He is very artistic.
• I have discovered the joy of radiators. They are warm. They make great nappy spots.
• We do not have enough Gizzy quilts. There have been great disputes over the two we have in front of the living room fireplace. We do not share well. Not at all. We all want to lay on the Gizzy quilts and nap at the same time. It has caused some loud, hurtful hissy fits. I am kind of proud to say that I gave Rudy a BooBoo! It is usually the other way around.
• We all got to go out on the deck last Sunday afternoon to say farewell to getting to go out on the deck. Even Puff. She was very well-behaved and did not try to escape. Both Mommy and Daddy came out with us just in case she did. Daddy might screen in the bottom of the fences on the deck next Spring.
• Rudy has to go to the V.E.T. this month. November is his month. Mommy tries to spread us out through the year. He needs a dental AND a poodle butt cut. His breath is getting stinky AND his furs are BAD! He's like a Rasta cat now. He refuses to let Mommy groom him and now he has some pretty wicked-bad matts around his butt. I'm ready to make some serious fun of him. I know, I know, it isn't nice of me, but he can really be a pain!
• Mommy forgot to buy Temptations this week. We had none for an ENTIRE EVENING! I think this needs to be reported to some agency or something.
• Try as we might, we can't get Powder to Raise a Paw. We may have to post without her. She's such a shy little flower.
• Mommy said that we are going to have a bean party at our house in about a month. She warned me that they are inviting 120 humans here. I am quite distressed about this. She said we will be safe in the spare bedroom and don't have to witness this awful invasion of our space.
• I learned that if you place your paw in just the right place on the TV remote you can wake your beans up by making the volume very, very loud. I highly recommend trying this. Especially at night. In bed. HA!

ps - our prayers go to Icon's family - we are so sorry for your loss of Chloe!

Tasty Tuesday - Kitty Kookies!

Mommy and Daddy decided to practice their cookie-making skills last Sunday before football came on and everyone around here knows when football is on that the rest of the world comes to a stop. We want to be sure that there are plenty of yummy cookies for holiday guests!

Everyone also knows that the only good cookie is a Kitty Kookie!
Kitty Kookies are delicious and easy to make.

Ta-Da!
