Decisions, Decisions...

There's a spot of sun where I am sitting now, and there is food cooking in the kitchen. Do I stay here and enjoy the sunspot or do I go in the kitchen and use my pathetic kitty look and score a snack?
Decisions, decisions...

The Rudy Report

My pathetic kittie look. (how am I doing?)

Hey kitties! Here's to a new week. It's me - RUDY! With your Rudy Report. Parker wants me to thank all of you who made her birthday commentathon a success, she had over 170 birthday wishes and that means that we raised over $42 to send to Wayside Waifs. The 'rents are going to even it up to $50 and send it to them in memory of our friends Fat Eric, Luxor, Molly and little Wintergreen.
I've heard a terrible rumor that has me a little upset. It seems that the 'rents think they need a vacation! And yesterday Mommy got out her suitcase and started to go through her "vacation clothes". This does not look good and rumor has it that Friday morning they are leaving us for Lake Tahoe! Why would anyone want to go near all that water? Why?!?!

Mommy says this is why...

Mommy says that no one should feel sorry for us as our most favorite sitter is staying here while they are gone. I say that I am going to milk this for all it is worth! Mommy also says that she and Daddy really need a little "'rent time". Whatever... 'rents can be so weird.
Stay cool kitties, it's Monday and for 'rents that seems to make them less happy, give 'em a purr or two to make them feel like Saturday!
ps - A. Nonny Mouse, we love you whoever you are! Smoochies!

Formerly Feral Friday - Scaredy Cat Version

If you have ever wondered what I look like when the vacuum cleaner is out and turned on, wonder no more! ( Geesh, I do look pathetic!)

May your Friday be free of vacuums!

Tattle Tail Tuesday - My BooBoo

So kitties, picture it, Friday night, all of us were chillaxin' in the living room enjoying the company of the 'rents and watching the fireplace and the T.V. Snacks and treats had been liberal. The feather wand and the Cat Dancer and the fake mousies had been out and properly played with. All was well in our little corner of O Hi O. Or so I thought...
Then, out of nowhere - that orange menace Rudy strolled over to me and gave me a swat on my cheek! For no reason! I was stunned and just sat there staring at him in disbelief! Mommy was near us and had the evil squirt bottle close at hand in case we decided to start sharpening our claws on the new furniture (we've been very, very good and have not scratched it...yet...). She got Rudy full on in the puss and he ran away like the little ginger scoundrel that he is. She scooped me up before I knew it and inspected my booboo. Then she cleaned it! I protested and ran and hid. Later that evening I appeared for therapeutic Temptation treats, hugs and smooches and Rudy got none! Ha! I am happy to report that I am fine, but my face is temporarily marred. I anticipate a full recovery.

Front view of my booboo.

Side view.

A view of the perp who remains unapologetic and full of mats.

Mommy says we should all forgive and forget. I say that revenge is a dish that is best served cold. And served it shall be...

Uneasy Sunday

It did not go well for the Maize and Blue.

I tried to make Mommy feel better, I don't know if it helped.

Diamond was wise, he looked to Daddy for treats and comfort.

There's always next year!

Formerly Feral Friday

I have projects, I have plans, I have friends I want to visit! Mommy says that she is so busy at work that she hardly has time to think! So, I just want you to know that this little Formerly Feral kitty is not to be blamed if she does not get around to visit as much for a while. My pathetic kitty look isn't even working on her!
Sigh...

Formerly Feral Friday - The New O Hi O V.E.T.!

Feral cats don't go to the V.E.T., Formerly feral cats do...

Oh dear, oh my. Kitties, kitties, kitties...do you see what I am on top of? They are files. Of our V.E.T. records. They are on the table because AAAIIIEEE! ALL OF US ARE GOING TO THE NEW O Hi O V.E.T. TODAY!
According to the woman formerly known as Mommy we are all due for our wellness checks. The plan is that we will all get stuffed into our P.T.U.'s this afternoon and, and, and...I just can't think about this anymore! Blood and poop stealing, tooth inspecting and shot getting. There is nothing pretty about this.
Send us good thoughts - I really don't mind the V.E.T., but the rest of my siblings are not as Zen about it as I am. I fear I am in for a very bad day...

Easy Like Sunday

Since we all felt so bad for Diamond's high anxiety during the fireworks, he got a special treat yesterday. And yes, I am showing him the back of disrespect because the treats that I got were no where near as big as his! I am hoping that this is not going to be the case today! After all it is Sunday and it is easy for Mommy and Daddy to open the Temptations canister!

Saturday Caturday

What am I looking at so intently? I'll tell you. I am looking at Daddy preparing a pork tenderloin to put on the grill later today. Since pork tenderloin is from the same place HAM!! comes from, I am very interested in what he is doing.
It's a grilling and gardening type of day here in O Hi O and that means that we will get to have some fresh 'nip and some time on the deck! Maybe later I'll do my famous pathetic kitty look and get some pork!
I love Saturday!
