The Rudy Report

Heyello kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Nomming on nip was the thing to do this weekend! We were all liberally dosed with the home-grown stuff and we went to town! (Well, not literally to town, that would have not have been fun), but you get the idea! The hots were on the mild side and that's a good thing.
I seem to have sprouted a squillion mats on my back and butt, so I have to go and see Tiffany soon. She is a busy and popular groomer, so my date with her isn't for a few weeks. In the meantime mommy is unceremoniously hacking away at the mats with scissors when I am eating (I don't mind as much when I am eating). Let's just say that mommy should keep her day job and never aspire to become a stylist...my back looks like I ran under a mower!
Anyhow kitties, have an awesome week - keep those tails high and remember to lay on the love to your 'rents. Where would we be without them?

The Rudy Report

So whattaya' know kitties? It's me Rudy! with your Rudy Report!

It was a little rainy in O Hi O this weekend so the deck time was kept to a minimum. I did make the most of it and to my dismay, Mommy kept chasing me around with the Furminator. I know that I have mats, but they are MY mats and she needs to leave them alone! She finally gave up and then she made a phone call to Tiffany. Tiffany is my groomer and Tiffany said that she'd love to see me this Friday! Tiffany is very nice and I like her very much as LONG AS SHE LEAVES MY MATS ALONE!
Mommy said that I might get a poodle-butt cut if Tiffany can't comb the mats out...YIKES!
So...I have four days to plan my escape. Right after I take a nap...
Stay cool kitties, and if you have mats, you might want to let your 'rents comb them out, don't be stubborn like me!

The Rudy Report

Hi Kitties! It's Rudy the Floofmeister here with your Rudy Report...
While the sun never made an appearance, it was still quite warm and we took full advantage of the warm breezes blowing across our deck.

It was the perfect kind of weather to give yourself some face skritchies on the brick. Heaven, I tell you, just heaven! (see me smiling?)

Daddy dug a garden, Puff and Parker got furminated and Mommy said "Achoo" a lot. There was Stinky Goodness on Sunday and some little tastes of Chicken on Saturday. Mommy said she was not going to try and Furminate me because she says I have a big surprise coming on Wednesday. I wonder what the surprise is?

Parker: HaHaHaHaHaHa, Rudy's going to the GROOMER on Wednesday!

Rudy: WHAT!?! NOOOOOO!!!

Parker: That's right you floofy, orange-matted menace - You are Groomer bound - HAHAHAHA!

Rudy: I...I...I...I'm signing off for now!

Rudy, The Man Cat of My Family

"I don't wanna' go! Mommmmy, pleeeeeeze!"

Since our anniversary of Catster is tomorrow and Rudy is headed for the V.E.T. today, I thought I would re-post my first entry about him. Even last year I was talking about his lack of good grooming!

(originally posted March, 2007)

My brother Rudy is the excitement junkie of our family. He always wants to be where the action is. If there is no action he'll start some. He's 100% boy. Playful, charming, and a big fat flirt when it comes to women. He likes to roughhouse with our D.O.G. brother, Diamond. If you ask me, he acts like he's a few tuna cans short of a casserole. His tail is huge and always poofy and when he walks he keeps it high, high, high in the air. He's orange and proud! But what really cracks me up about my brother is his girlish meow. It sounds like it's coming out of a very small kitten. Not man-cattish at all. Nope, not at all.
Rudy's downfall is grooming. He won't let Mommy groom him and he stinks at doing it himself. Every so often the lack of grooming buys him a trip to the V.E.T. for a professional comb-out and buzz cut to his butt. He really doesn't like that very much and he doesn't know it, but he's going there soon for his summer butt buzz. I can't wait! It's so much fun to see him when he comes home. We call him "poodle-butt" behind his back!
Rudy is actually my sister Puff's flesh and blood son. He's going to be eight years old this year. Puff was knocked up when Mommy and Daddy got her. They did not know this. They were not happy with her impending motherhood but decided to get busy and find homes for these about-to-be-born kittens. Anyway, Puff had three kittens and two of them got adopted to friends of Mommy and Daddy. Daddy got to watch Rudy and his brother and sister be born. Daddy says he doesn't want to see something like that again anytime soon! (sqeamish Daddy?) Mommy and Daddy thought Rudy was too cute to leave the family. I don't know about that, cause he can be a real pain in my tail. Rudy is the only cat in our family to never know what it's like to not have a home. We try to tell him what life was like before we got here and he doesn't believe that things could ever be that bad for any kitty. In a way, I'm kinda' glad he doesn't know.
Anyway, that's my brother Rudy for this Man Cat Monday. He really is a good guy - but don't tell him I said that! Oh, and that poodle-butt thing, keep that just between us, OK? Otherwise I might get a tail whooping by him!
