The Rudy Report

ZZZzzZZzZzzzz...Oh HAI kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Sunbathing is very tiring work, but I am up to the challenge. We are so sorry that out blogging has been so spotty, but Mommy is computer shopping and our old laptop is really on it's last little computer legs. We thank our facebook pals for the suggestions on what's the best computer to buy. Until we get the new one, we will continue to post, but just a little.
Parker had some groovy news last week that all of us will benefit from. She actually won a great contest and as a result will score us some excellent goodies. Fido Friendly magazine held a contest about introducing a new kitty to a home that already had a woofie-in-residence. Parker sent in her story of how she was introduced to Diamond and she won the grand prize! I'm telling you, she is now impossible to be around, she's all "I won a contest and you didn't you little orange menace". Well, I have news for her - she can be all high and mighty, but guess who has to go see Dr. Joe for some shots in her hiney on October the 16th?
I'll give you a hint - it's a kitty with two different colored eyes...and her name rhymes with barker...

A Happy Carrot Giveaway!

Lookit' what I'm giving away!

This my dear kitties, is a Happy Carrot from Purrfectplay, my pals in Indiana that make organic toys that are fun and safe for us to play with. And it reeks (in a good way) of primo 'nip!!! Here's what they have to say about it -

"Lined with organic cotton canvas and covered with thick organic Colorgrown fleece, our 6 inch carrot contains over 1/2 cup of the finest organic catnip. Crafted right here in Indiana, it is crowned with floppy fun hemp cord "leaves". Durable and yummy, the Happy Carrot will bring many hours of happy play to your kitties. "

Sounds pretty cool, eh???

So, I was thinking, since the 'rents are leaving us on Friday for their stoopid vacation, I thought I'd have some fun here on the blog and host a giveaway. I like to keep things simple so all you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me you'd like to be entered in the drawing. But what I'd REALLY appreciate is for you to go and visit Purrfectplay, find them on Facebook, and tell them that Parker says "hi!" Would you do that for me? I haven't told them I'm doing this giveaway yet and the Mom 'rent is so busy I don't think she knows which end of me is up, so I'm not letting her pick me up - HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh - you know what else? I had to give up my laptop to the Laptop fixit guy again, so I will be without a computer for a little while. And a kitty without a computer is like, well...,a kitty that can't keep up with what's going on...I'll be back ASAP, OK? Meanwhile, leave a comment and go visit my buds at Purrfectplay!

I leave you with an old, but adorable photo of me...

...You're welcome!

Reasons To Celebrate

It's World Cat Day!

(isn't every day world cat day?)

AAAAND...I'm back! Wow kitties, that was a bad virus that the laptop caught! It took our computer guy quite a while to get all of the bugs off of it. I guess even with good anti-virus protection that bugs can get through. I sure missed all of you and I am going to have to play a lot of catch up.
I want to give a special shout-out to the Zoolatry crew, please know that we are purring and praying our hardest for your Poppy. You are some of our special bloggy friends and we wish your Poppy to get well very soon. Smoochies to you and to him!

A Pox On Ye Evil Virus!

Watch This Space...

We have no computer at home because it was attcked by some bad ol' virus bug. We'll return when it's fixed. I'll miss you guys!

An Easier Sunday

Bonjour kitties!

Mommy got back home VERY late on Friday. I was so happy to see her although there was a little problem...the airplane from Montreal kept her luggage in it's belly so when she flew from Motown to O Hi O she did not have her luggage. And guess what was in her luggage? Well, let's see.. my computer was there...what else...oh yeah, her camera and her car keys!!!

Yes kittes, Mommy broke the #1 rule of travel, she put stuff in her check-on luggage that she might actually need in the event that her luggage wouldn't show up when she did. Now you need to know that Mommy is not a novice flyer and that in her many years of traveling has she ever done something so silly. She said that she did this to have as little as possible on her person to go through customs. She was mad at herself and mad at the airplane for not giving up her luggage especially since the flights were 3 gates apart from each other!!!
We are very thankful to Mommy's best friend who got in her car late Friday night with Mommy's spare car key and drove a long way to rescue and very tired and cranky Mommy. Oh, and guess how long it took the airlines to get Mommy's luggage back to her? 37 hours! Mommy could have drove to Motown many times over to get her luggage in that amount of time.

So today kitties, we have Mommy and my laptop home and life in O Hi O is back to normal. Situations like this make me glad I am a cat!
