Parker Update

Hi kitties. I thought I'd give you a little update on how I am doing. Since it's getting chilly outside the fireplace is one of my favorite spots. It's warm and Daddy's chair is a wonderful spot to stay toasty. Puff likes to cat-nap in her ham-mick.

The fire makes me yawn-y and sleepy!

But the very best time is lap time. I have become quite the lap kitty. My days are filled with treats and stinky goodness and love from the 'rents. I'm quite content and am not in pain. My pretty blue eye is still quite pretty, but does not work, so I am hesitant about jumping up to high places and I have to think harder when I move from the floors to the bed or the couch or a lap.

I got a card from my psycho-handsome mancat Tripper. It was lovely.  It made my mommy leak from her eyes a little.

I feel all of the love and hugs and purrs from you. It makes me warm and happy. Thank you so much. We read your messages and we peek at your blogs - but much of our time is spent snuggling and enjoying our time together. We know how precious time is - no matter if we have weeks or months or years left together, we want to soak up the love and the happiness and store it all up for the future.

All of my love and smoochies to you my friends!

My Baby Wrote Me A Letter...

Last week was the best week of my life! Tripper sent me two packages! One was from the siamese rescue and it smelled soooooo good! (Just ignore Powder's little noggin', she was trying to get in the photo...)

Inside the box were TWO catnip infused toys that were Mine all MINE! (the card said so...) but the awesomeness had just started. My baby wrote me a letter AND GAVE ME A LOVE RAT!

Lookit' that rat, how awesome is this? And it has Tripper's very own spit  on it. He loves me, he really, really loves me in his own special, twisted psychotic way. What more could a girl ask for?

Did I mention it has his spit on it!?! Swooooooooon...

Thanks you from the bottom of my paw pads Tripper - I love you too!

Smooch!

The Smoochiest Day of the Year!

We interrupt the weekly Rudy Report for this Monday for something special!

 I'd like to wish everykitty a very happy Valentine's day! I'd also like to send a most special smooch out to my main mancat Tripper. A few years ago he sent me the most beautiful valentine evah! I keep it near my favorite nappy spot in Mommy's dressing room so I can gaze at it anytime I want! I hope he'll continue to be my valentine for many years to come.

 Isn't it 'da bomb?!?

It's true kittes, all we need is love, and I hope you have a very, very love-filled day that's full of smoochies and treats and a few sun spots to nap in. Here's one from me to you!

SMOOCHIES!

February Feeze

The sun is in my eyes, but that's OK with me. We don't get to see the sun very often this time of year. I need to soak it up while I can because a big 'ol snowstorm is heading to O Hi O.
Did you know that in a few weeks it's Valentine's Day? I hope I hear from my main mancat. I need him to come over and keep me warm. Love is in the air, and so is snow. Sigh...

I'm Dreamin'...

So...what am I dreaming about?

The man of my dreams!!! Oh...and Tripper too!

Tattle Tail Tuesday

What's this?

A business card? MY business card?

Isn't that cool? I have my very own business card! Mommy had them made because she's going to Blogpaws on Saturday to see what's new in the world of blogging and maybe meet some of our friends! I am not going with her, I need to stay home and snoopervise Daddy while he plants more flowers. So kitties, do me a favor if you are going to be there - watch for the lady in a white T-shirt that has my face on it, it will be my Mommy and she would love to meet you. She's looking forward to hearing Skeezix and Tripper's mom speak!

My Psycho Valentine...

Since Mommy was in the hospital on Valentine's day, I did not get to open my wonderful Valentine's gift from my hubba-hubba tabby lover Tripper. He sent me a 'nip rainbow and a 'nip heart from Siamese Rescue!

I really loved both 'nip toys and the sentiment on the heart says it all!

Tripper, thank you so much! Just like a Kewpee hamburger, you make my heart go flippity-flop!

Tattle Tail Tuesday

"Don't Hate Me 'Cause I'm Beautiful..."

Do I look crabilated? Good! 'cause I am! All of this going to the VET nonsense and Mommy getting sick stupidity has made me miss things! Important things! Do you know that on the day Mommy left for the hospital that I got a package? It's true, and it was a very special package from my psycho-valentine Tripper! Did I get to open it right away??? NO! I had to wait for days to open it, and then no-one took pictures! What's the world coming to?
AND I missed all of the cool Cat O Lympics coolness. I would have gotten the gold for the Mile Long Machine Clean...but alas...no go...
I'm also hearing that I have to go back and see Dr. Joe for a check-up next week. He's very nice and everthing, but I'd rather skip that whole UTI thing. It was no fun.
I hope that as the week goes on, my mood improves - and my photos!

A Day Late...

...but not a dollar short! Yesterday I wanted to show all of you the most marvelous Valentines gift from my Mancat Tripper but the 'rents were too busy being all lovey-dovey with each other. They went out shopping and went out to dinner and blah, blah, blah...I have forgiven them though - they were extra-happy and grateful about Mommy's clean bill of health. They even had some bubbly wine that tickled my nose when I sniffed it. But today I get to show you what true love is really all about! Glitter and glue and sparkles and hearts and color and words written by the most romantic Mancat know to the face of this earth - Tripper!

I have mail!

Tripper made this heart for me! And there was 'nip in the package too!

Doesn't he have a way with words? Le'Sigh...
Here comes that orange menace!
Mommy put it on the mantle so it stays safe!

Oh yeah, I forgot, Mommy got these from Daddy. But I like my valentine better!

Thank-you Tripper! A squillion smoochies and hubba-hubba's to you!

Formerly Feral Friday - Fantastic, Fabulous, Cancer-Free!

It may be the poorest home-made Valentine you've ever looked at, but I don't care. 'Cause for this home in O Hi O, we received the best news ever last night. My Mommy is Benign!

It's the best news a kitty could get!

Tripper, I want you to be my valentine, Mommy, I'm so glad you are OK!

Life is pretty darn good!

Smooches!

Saturday Caturday - Feeling Happy!

You may remember that on August 20th I celebrated my 7th birthday! You may also remember that I have a special, twisted relationship with this roguish tabbycat. Well, last week, much to my surprise, I got a little mail from him and his brothers! And he said he was my luvverboy - Swooooooon!

See me smiling? I am very happy that he remembered - I didn't care if it was late, I was just happy that he thought of me. And I was really happy that it contained a bag of 'nip in it. So Tripper, Skeezix, Mao and Rocky - Thanks for the great gift!

This camera strap bitey is for you!

I was also honored last week from the handsome ginger boys across the pond, Eric and Flynn and the pretty calico gal Telsa with the I Love Your Blog award. I want to thank them and tell them that I love their blogs as well. We kitties are wonderful bloggers! Here's hoping that your Saturday is filled with fun and love and treats! Smooches!

Wordless Wednesday - My Psycho, Tentative Valentine

Please go here and vote for me!!!

Bored Cats On Tuesday

We're having a big snowstorm that started late yesterday afternoon. We are all bored, bored, bored! Here's some of the things we've been doing to amuse ourselves while it snows...
Puff enjoys playing hide the 'nip Ravioli under MY Gizzy...(it's MY Gizzy...MINE, MINE, MINE!)
Mommy sent a photo of me and her thumb to Wozog for a cat tournament! I wasn't overly impressed because it was her thumb and not her treat-holding fingers!
We made Diamond wear one of Daddy's hats. He's not much into hats so Daddy had to help.
He's not much into snow either. This photo was taken before it got heavy. We are going to get about another five inches today. We got about three inches last night. Diamond does not like to be in the snow and Daddy will probably have to shovel a doggy path for him. Whatta' sissy dog!
But we are all warm and safe and sound. We are thankful for that.
And I have a Valentine! The colorful and always interesting Tripper has asked me and I said yes...I just hope it isn't some type of trap!

Saturday Caturday - Woofies and Radiators and Valentines, Oh My!

Lookie! I'm a Friend of a Woofie!

Camie's Kitties gave this award to me 'cause every once in a while I let Diamond Doggy blog. Diamond is a pretty good woofie, he has learned that he may or may not suffer the Paw of Death if he gets too "up in my grill" and he's good at breaking up the occasional kitty spat. He stays pretty busy begging for treats, destroying his toys and pulling Daddy's arm out of it's socket.
See?

Powder: "I can't believe you let him on the blog again!"

Parker: " Shut up and stop sucking up all the heat."

Thanks to Cami's Kitties for giving this Woofie award to me! I am going to pass it on to the most beautiful Princess Pearl - she's had to train a brand new woofie and I have to say, she's doing a fine job of it! She has radiators in her home too and knows how awesome they they are on a chilly day!

ps - That twisted, psycho, wildly handsome Tripper asked me to be his Valentine! I am disturbed at how much this pleases me!

Thursday 13 - Things I Have Thought About!

Hey - look at this! Does this mean I am smart?

Isn't that nice?!? Sultanfus and Guy said that my blog made them think! So they passed this award on to me! I am very flattered - thanks to you two wonderful kitties for recognizing me! AND, I get to pass it on to 5 other blogs, ones who make me think! Here's who make me think, Latte (I always think, "gosh, he's cute!"), The Furry Kids, E.G., Tazo and Titus (I wonder if they're really just us, only in Motown), and Tripper, 'cause he makes me wonder what I see in him sometimes...
So anyway, that got me thinking - "what do I think about?" I had to think about that...and...I thought of 13 things I think about! What a coincidence!
When I was a feral kitty I only thought about surviving . I don't think the same way anymore and I am glad that I don't! Sometimes I think about ways to ambush Powder and Puff - that's always good for a kitty chuckle or two. I don't do that very much, 'cause Mommy gets upset when I do it. I like to think about catnip a lot - I think about how excited I get when I hear Mommy shake the catnip tin and then I think about how fun it is to get stoned! Catnip makes me roll around and shake my head and run and squirm and wiggle and attack invisible birds...ahhh...I love it! I hope I never have to go to Detox! All of that catnip thinking made me think of eating! I think about eating a lot! As a matter of fact, I think that eating is my favorite pastime. I really eat as though I am still a feral kitty. I have had an inside home for a very long time, but there is something hardwired into my brain that tells me to eat as though I'll never get another meal. I guess that's just something that makes me me! Oh, here's someone I think about a lot - Daddy! Daddy rocks, he is my world, he is 'da man, he's my hero! He saved my life. When he comes into a room I chirp and give him my special love-eyes! Speaking of things I love to think about, here's another one - I love to think about eating Temptations! I don't think that they have made a flavor that I don't love! I also think quite a bit about the sun! Since we moved to O Hi O i seem to think about the sun more than actually seeing the sun and feeling the sun! It's kind of cloudy here. So another thing I think about is Springtime and I think about how much fun it will be to go out on our deck to enjoy the sun! I think a lot about grooming. Grooming is such an important part of a kitties life. I enjoy keeping a clean machine and while I am thinking about grooming, I also think about how much I enjoy the Furminator and the Zoom Groom when Mommy uses them on my furs! MMMmmmm, heaven! I think that the one thing that I think the most about is the love I feel everyday from my Mommy and Daddy. It's great to have enough to eat, it's wonderful to have fun with catnip, it's lovely to feel the sun on your fur and the fresh air on the deck. It rocks to get enough Temptations to make your tummy plump, and it's a riot to ambush your siblings! Getting groomed feels great and having all of the right tools makes it even nicer, but that love I always dream and think about? Without that love, the rest of it isn't worth a single thought!
That was fun. It's good to be a thinker, I think...

7 Random Things Meme

Sometimes the boxes are as much fun as what was inside of them!

Puff is auditioning for Meerkat Manor!
Rudy is ready to start off the 7 Random Things Meme that PB&J and Turkey Cats tagged us for! We are going to do it as a group. Take it away Rudy -

Rudy - I HATE getting groomed. I will not allow it!

Powder - I am tiny, I weigh 6 pounds on a good day, but I have the loudest meow of all of the kitties here!

Puff - I do not like treats of any kind. Not even Temptations. I do, however, love my crunchy foods and stinky goodness!

Parker - When I think it's bedtime for Mommy and Daddy I walk back and forth between the living room and the stairs and stare at Daddy. I make a very good clock, except I lick...not tick!

Rudy - I can be a bully sometimes. I chase my siblings and try to put the bitey on them. They are all a little scared of me when I get in one of my moods!

Diamond Doggy - When Rudy tries to put the bitey on the other kitties, I step in and break it up. This earns me a lot of praise and treats. Mommy says I am her peacekeeper. That makes me feel good!

Parker - I have a special friend - his name is Tripper and he is very colorful and unbalanced... I like that in a kitty!
That was fun! I am pretty sure everykitty has been tagged, but if you haven't feel free to join in!

Happy New Year!

Hi! Puff here. I'm filling in for Parker, she's on Mommy snuggle duty and cannot leave Mommy's side. Mommy still feels poorly and we have to make sure she gets better soon. We are sorry we missed the New Year's Eve parties. Parker was hoping to see Tripper somewhere and maybe get a New Year's Eve smooch. Oops, I'm blabbing too much!
Oh, I also want to let the anonymous kittie(s) who left an email a few weeks ago about getting our Secret Paw soon that it never did arrive - so if you did send it, you might want to check with the beans that you gave it to send it. I think it got lost!

Daddy has been very busy too! He's had to look after Mommy, feed us, start to un-decorate the house and cook! I will miss my favorite tree ornament.
To ease the sting of that, look what he cooked last night!












Needless to say there were four very happy kitties and one happy doggy with a bellies full of HAM!HAM!HAM!HAM!
2008 is going to be great as soon as Mommy gets better! I have to go now, my snuggle shift starts soon!

It's The Desktop Meme!

That handsome, sweet-talking, rakish tabby Tripper the Psycho Stray Cat (Holy cats, that's a mouthful!) tagged me for the Desktop Meme that is going around. Me and Mommy tried to follow the directions and pressed the key we were supposed to press (Print scrn key). Nothing. Nada. Zippo. Mommy tried to do this BEFORE she had coffee and we thought that was why we couldn't figure it out. So she left to go and hunt and told me she would try to do it with her work computer. Yep, you guessed it, she still couldn't get it right. So after she said some of the words on the bad word list, she just snapped a photo of her desktop at work. See me? I am her background at work! She also has about a squillion photos of me and my sibs as her screensaver. She can look at us all day at her hunting place. She also has the Bad Cats Page A Day Calendar. Do you see the wooden squirrel on her desk with the flag? Can you read the flag? Can you guess what Mommy does for a living? I'm not supposed to give out that type of information 'cause Mommy says it's T.M.I. for the innernets - don't worry Mommy, my lips are sealed!

But anyhow, here are the rules!

Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. Here’s how you can do a screen capture:

1.Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste(CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it.

3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

I am not tagging anyone, 'cause I think I am the last kitty to do this, but - if you haven't done it yet - TAG! You are it!

5.Add your name to the list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
