The Rudy Report

Hey there kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! The 'rents are home! They are sunburned! They are tired! They are happy to see us and we are happy to see them! I guess the Cubs that they went to see won the game of ball that they were playing and it made the 'rents very happy. The seats that Mommy got for them to sit in were in the what is called the "Bleacher Seats" and if the sun is shining it can get very hot. It is not a good idea to sit in bleacher seats when you are very pale and forgot to wear any sunblock. Mommy looks a lot like a beet. I don't care what she looks like, I am just glad she and Daddy are home!
We have a surprise for you this week! Mommy met a wonderful lady last April at Blogpaws who has an awesome store and the lady sent us a box of goodies to have a giveaway with! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on entering our contest. More on that later this week.
The hots have landed in O Hi O with a vengeance! No deck time for us and Daddy has to spend a lot of time keeping his "maters" and other plants watered so they don't shrivel up and die. We spend a lot of time in the cool house taking naps. Mommy needs to help us catch up on what's been going on in the blogoshere. So, what have you been doing? We sure have missed you!

The Waiting Is the Hardest Part...

Well kitties, they've gone and done it again. They've left. With suitcases. To see some stupid Cubs play with a ball. The sitter is on her way to stay with us and there is a full canister of treats. It's just not the same without the 'rents here.
Me and my sibs agreed that we'll wait to post again until the 'rents come home. I'll miss all of you, but I need to stay by the door and watch for their machine to pull in the driveway.
Stay cool and keep your tails held high. We'll be fine, just fine.

The Rudy Report

Hoo-Wee kitties! It sure is hot here in O Hi O! It's me, Rudy! with your Rudy Report. It was so hot here that I didn't even feel like being a menace! As you can see I was on the deck, but not for a long time. It was better to be inside and a little cooler. We were all bored and we didn't get a lot of time to play with Mommy because she had to go into work. AND they are leaving us again!!! Those awful suitcases are out and I heard the 'rents talking about going to see some Cubs play. Why would they go see some Cubs play when they can watch us kitties do that right here???
Stupid Cubs...

The Rudy Report

Yo Yo Yo Kitties! What's the haps? It's me - RUDY - with The Rudy Report! We had an awesome celebration of Daddy's birthday yesterday, he would like to thank all of you for the good wishes. I can report that brisket was cooked and cake was baked. I took a birthday nap with Daddy and it was awesome! The weather was gorgeous and we all were treated to some deck time.
Daddy is getting into a Chicago mood and is very excited because his birthday gift is a trip to see the Cubbies play baseball! That's right - in a few weeks we have our sitter come back so that the 'rents can go to the friendly confines of Wrigley field and cheer the Cubbies on to victory. I don't know about this, I'm more of a Tigers fan myself...Grrrrrr! Roar!

Directions To Home...

Dear Mommy,
Get on that bridge and head towards my meow. I'm not sure where you are, but you need to come home and give me a smooch and a treat. Now.
Pleaseandthankyou,
Your furry child,
Parker (the perfect one)
ps - can anykitty guess where she is?

The Rudy Report

Hey there kitties, here I am, RUDY! with the Rudy Report. We were all on high alert yesterday because the suitcase came out and Mommy was packing it. We tried to block the door this morning, but it did no good. She is leaving us for a few days. Apparently she has to go hunting a long way from here and won't be home until Tuesday night - that's a squillion naps  from now! Daddy takes good care of us, it's just a lot more fun when they are both here. Twice the laps, twice the chance to mooch treats, twice the warm bodies on the big bed...sigh...
The 'rents had a big garage sale on Saturday and there were a lot of strangers here. The people who go to garage sales are very interesting beans. I'm glad that we don't have garage sales very often!
The garage sale took away from our fun time on the deck. Well, that and some real big storms and wind and cold weather. Where did Spring go kitties? I'd like it back please.
I did have a little fun chasing Puff, I made her scream! And what did I get for my troubles? A huge squirt with the water bottle. No one has a sense of humor around here.

Her Cheatin' Heart...

Oh my Cod kitties, will you look at this? Mommy not only left me last weekend she - she - she - cheated on us!!! I am stunned at her unabashed affection for Moshe -  look at her, she's smitten! At least she mentioned my blog. Moshe is a gorgeous boy and he lives with his wonderful 'rent Carol. You should go and say hello to them, they are very nice. Mommy had never met a Sphynx kitty before and she enjoyed holding him very, very much. She said that Moshe was a gentleman and allowed her to fawn all over him for a long time. This is why I can never trust her - you let her leave for a day and this is what she does...
Never mind that the food lady came over here last week and I let her do the same thing to me, that's different, right?

Formerly Feral Friday

Today I'm just chillaxin' and waiting for Mommy to get home from her business trip to Montreal. We have a nice long weekend to look forward to with not a lot of plans. She's been very, very busy with her hunting the last few months.
I am glad that the Monkeys are watching out for her in Montreal! Mommy told Daddy that Montreal is a very beautiful place and that it is very progressive and friendly.
That's all well and good, but she needs to come back to good ol' O Hi O and give me a smooch!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Mommy is leaving this morning to go here.

She won't be back for 3 big sleeps.

You Canadian kitties take good care of her, OK?

Thursday Thirteen - Chilly Photos

Mommy has abandoned us to travel for her work, so I thought I would show you 13 photos of when we got to go out on our chilly deck last week.

Even though the sun was shining, our furs got pretty cold! Powder and I are doing our meatloaf impression to stay warm.
Powder and Rudy discover that damp wood does not feel great on the paws.

Diamond makes a good cat-herder.

Powder: "Ewwwww! Snow is awful!"

Rudy: "It's a gorgeous sunny day and I don't care if it's cold - I'm OUTSIDE!!!"

I think Puff misses her radiator.

Diamond continues his duty of surveying the deck.

He takes his job quite seriously.My butt got a little bit wet here.

Rudy discovers that if he walks in Diamonds pawprints, his toesies stay dry.

I got a lot of my furs damp here. It was still fun to roll on the deck!

I must keep my paws out of the snow!

Puff is more than ready to go back to her radiator!

We hope next week is warmer in O Hi O!

Saturday Stuff

As I told you kitties a few days ago, Mommy had to travel again. I was afraid she'd be gone many, many sleeps, but she came home last night! Hooray! (Sorry for the shaky photo, I was upset she was leaving).

Here's where she went. Anykitty recognize Cincinnati?

Meanwhile I waited for her


Daddy is going to grill this weekend. HAM! HAM! HAM!
Mommy and Daddy got us steps to go to our food. They found these and EBay and we love them! Puff and Powder are 9 years old and Mommy doesn't want them hurting themselves from jumping off of the table a squillion times a day. We have to keep our food elevated 'cause the D.O.G. would eat it.
Uh, oh. Looks like another Furmination in in our future!
We are officially safe from Vishus Deers now! Thanks Skeezix! Please tell Tripper to watch for me - I may teleport over this weekend and check out the birdfeeders. Tripper says he is learning manners and I'd like to see for myself how he opens doors. And says please and thank-you.

Munchkin in a year old today! Happy Birthday Munchkin! There is a party over here, go wish him a Happy Birthday and party down, the food looks great!
