Wordless Wednesday - Where Am I?

Chimney's Aren't Just For Santa Anymore!

Always keep your eyes to the skies kitties!

I really, really, really got into big trouble this weekend.

I decided to go exploring. Without permission.

On our roof. And Chimney. It rocked!

Daddy and I were deck chillaxin' and quick as a flash I got the urge to climb...

so up, up and away I went! I can be pretty swift when I wanna' be!

Try to imagine me on the top of that chimney. You can see lots of stuff from that high up!
(and yes, that is Santa's Sleigh - he leaves it here all year!)

Here's an old photo of the back of our home to give you perspective.

Here's my route - railing, taller railing, low roof, tall roof, chimney...
Easy Peazey!

Here's another photo of our deck (pre-chicken wire) for perspective.

Daddy had to climb up to the roof to catch, er, ah, I mean rescue me. It was quite dramatic for both Mommy and Daddy, for some reason, they don't think I belong on the roof.

There are no actual photos of me getting caught, er ah, I mean rescued. The 'rents were both too worried about getting me down than getting the camera. I fear I am grounded unless both Mommy AND Daddy are on the deck together.

It Came! It Came! It Came! I feel Like Steve Martin!

I hear something outside!

I think it's the mail!
Gasp! It's here!
The perfect gift under the tree!
Hey, back off Rudy, it's my calendar!

The Abbreviated Story of Our Move To O Hi O

We have lived in O Hi O for 5 weeks now. Time really skates along and before you know it you are listening to your Mommy complain about how awful her photo looks on her new O Hi O driver's license and how she can't find a decent cut of meat (we were from Kansas City after all)! Aside from the meat issue and having to ship our Tidy Cat crystals from PetSmart, O Hi O is quite nice. We are unpacked and enjoying the new home, finding new nappy spots, watching the outdoors from our new windows and just generally being happy. Rudy isn't as rude and he hasn't put the bitey on me since we have been here. I miss some of my friends from KC - there were some woofies I liked to watch walk by and I had some squirrel buddies that would hang out in the back yard that I could chitter to from my beloved back porch. I also miss getting little bites of KC BBQ. Other than that, home is here. I have new squirrel friends (they are black here - so good looking!), new birds to look at from the feeder and lots of other interesting stuff. And of course there is the upstairs deck where I can be OUTSIDE and the 19 stairs that are perfect for Thundering Herds of Elephants at dark early o'clock! In the winter I will have 2 fireplaces to choose from for warm naps and the big kitchen that has my special anti-getting-stepped-on snoopervising spot. Yup, it's all good.
So, here is the story of the last week of July, or as Mommy calls it the week from H E double hockey sticks!

Here I am guarding the stereo before the packers packed it.

Mommy and Daddy have one last evening at the Brooksider -see that awful O Hi O state flag hanging up there? It really bugged Mommy.

The moving van arrived. (Don't tell Mommy I told you this, but she broke down and sobbed when it pulled up. She said that's when it really hit her.)

It was a huge truck and by now we kitties were locked in a spare bedroom with no furniture - just our food and water and litter box. We were a little freaked out!

All loaded and ready to take ALL OUR STUFF! Even my toys!

Bye-Bye! Please take care of my toys! (Mommy sobbed again)
This doesn't look good, not at all...

On our way, Diamond is having a blast. Us, not so much, we are behind him all passed out in our PTU'S. (Thank goodness for drugs!) It was the hottest day of the year and even with the AC on full blast, Mommy and Daddy were constanly checking on us to make sure we were OK. They had to keep moving our PTU's because of the location of the sun. It took 11 1/2 hours and about 5 years off of Mommy and Daddy's life!
"Hey Pop, can we stop at McDonald's for a burger?"

Thursday 13 Edition 4 - Some Random Shots of Our New Home

We are still having a ball, we are exploring and sniffing and playing! I have found a few special windows to look at the birdies outside. Mommy unpacked my toys and I am so happy to be able to play with my fake mousies, I missed them a lot. I have been batting them around and leaving them in great places for Mommy and Daddy to step on and freak out! It's tons of fun! There are still boxes all over the place and Mommy and Daddy work late into the night to try and get things all organized. They say it won't be long till things are normal and we can relax and have some fun. We use our boxes and we are being the best kitties ever. Mommy says we can have a big party in a few weeks and invite every kitty over! Wanna' come?

Squillion (Jr.) Saturday - Introducing Jeter Jr.!

As you may remember from an earlier post the most wonderful FF Jeter Harris let us adopt a baby squillion - Powder approved the adoption. Sadly, he had no name. We needed to fix that.

Introducing Jeter Jr. (J.J. for short)! Welcome Jeter Jr.!
So, if Rudy gets to bite me, I guess his reward is getting his picture with our sweet baby squillion Jeter Jr. Life isn't always fair. Jeter Jr. does kind of favor Rudy though, I hope Jeter Jr. teaches Rudy that being sweet and cute is better than being mean and bitey.
