The Rudy Report



Full of 'Nip and 'tude

Ola kitties, it's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! Remember me? Good! I am doing fine, we've been in a dark place for a few months with losing our Parker and it's been hard to find something positive to report. But I told the 'rents that we need to focus on the here and now, and the here and now is full of good things. Here's some of them -

• I am awesome!
• The calico sisters have had their geezer geriatric wellness checks and they are both in tip top shape.
• Diamond is doing well, he did have to start taking more medicine for his achy bones. It helps him a lot. He still likes to bark at the guy in the bloo shorts. He's convinced that the guy is going to steal our stuff!
• Mommy got a pretty silver necklace that she put Parker's Hello Kitty collar charm on - it makes her feel closer to Parker and that makes her feel better.
• Our little shelter keeps on keeping on. Mommy has been spending a lot of time trying to help them be more and more successful. We think it's working (a little bit...)
• A lot of you donated to the shelter in memory of Parker. There are no words to thank you for your kindness. We know that it must of made our angel Parker very happy that she helped many kitties find their forever home. She was a big fan of a forever home : )
• Me and Puff and Powder are still sort of working out the new kitty order of things. Our behaviors are changing and Puff and I seem to be tied in the spot for Alpha kitty. We may decide to share the role. Powder is happy to be the itty bitty kitty. Diamond just wants to keep the "Paw of Death" a distant memory.
• We have a new introoder - He's a nice looking male who the 'rents are feeding outside. Daddy named him Jack. As soon as Mommy gains a little more trust he gets a car ride to the vet for tests and a neuter. Poor fellow. I'll make Mommy get a good photo. Right now he's a little skittish. I would be too if my bits were about to vanish! Then he goes to the shelter to find a forever home. Jack has a whole new future in front of him! Some of you may be thinking - "maybe Jack should live here." Ummmmm, I vote NO! I am the only mancat in this household!
• The 'rents are going on vacation away from us in almost a year. Our awesome sitter will be here to take great care of us. The 'rents deserve some time away.

So, that's the report. I've missed all of you. I'll leave you with a few cool photos.


Puff says "Time to replace the cardboard"

We miss you so very, very much. Two months ago today...

A Dozen Years...

My 'rents have been married a dozen years today. They are celebrating by taking Diamond Doggie on a walk to raise money for A Lotta' Love Pet Rescue this morning. Ain't that romantic? Oh, then there's dinner and a movie tonight. They really are a cute couple of 'rents. Happy Anniversary!
Smoochies!

The Best Way To Start A New Year...

...is with Daddy skritches! I am so thankful I have 'fomerly' in front of feral.
Happy 2010 kitties! We had a great night with great food - shrimps! Cows! Temptations! And when the ball dropped we were with the ones we love.
Here's hoping that every day in 2010 is as good as the way it began!

A Mommy Meme

The fun kitties at The Kitty Krew and Crew's Views tagged my Mommy for a meme - it took a little while to for her to agree to join in - but I kept asking nicely with my love eyes, and she cannot say no to the love eyes!
Here are the rules;
"Either (1) post 7 facts about yourself AND photos OR (2) post 10 facts about yourself with no photos, OR (3) post a childhood picture of yourself."
So - - - Take it away Mommy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi kitties, Parker's female 'rent here, and I am going to show you a few photos of me!

Here's my shadow at Lake Tahoe!
Here I am in my car at a stop sign in O Hi O.

And here I am in Kindergarten - 5 years old!

Now for the facts -

I am bad at math and that's why there are 3 photos of me and 7 facts!

My career is in health care at a very big hospital. I help beans feel better.

I was VERY allergic to kitties until I was about 19 years old.

I was a vegetarian until 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with Diabetes. It's very hard to be Diabetic AND a vegetarian. I couldn't stop being Diabetic, so I had to stop being a vegetarian. Now Parker's male 'rent calls me the "world's guiltiest carnivore".

I was adopted when I was 6 weeks old - I never knew the people who gave me up, but that's OK with me. I was very fortunate to have been adopted by the world's best parents! I am also an only child. It's safe to say I was a little spoiled growing up!

I enjoy both Shakespeare and Southpark.

Someday the other 'rent and I would like to live in Colorado, maybe Southpark : )

Kitties, this was fun! Now I'm gonna' tag any other kitty mommy who would like to play!

Big mommy 'rent smoochies to all of you!

PS - Kitties - go look and laugh, we're on Wendy's LOL Spot! It's sooooo funny!!!

Thursday 13 - Blog HiJacking!

I am reluctantly letting the 'rents take over my blog to show you photos of where they went when they abandoned me last week. I know you would rather see photos of me and all of my kitty gorgeousness, but since they do buy my food, I have to let them have their way every once in a while.

Here it is...South Lake Tahoe...

This was the view from their room.

Mommy says it really was Heavenly.

Here's some pretty photos.

The mountains still had some snow.

Oooooooh! Aaaaaaaah!

Mommy loved this tree.

Here's Mommy!

Heavenly Village.

More pretty beach photos.

Nevada...

California...

I hope you enjoyed these photos, tomorrow, back to ME!

The Rudy Report

Another Monday and it's time for my Rudy Report! It was a lazy weekend here in O Hi O, just the way I like it! We had a little deck time and I was able to get in some pretty good sniffs as you can see...
I must confess, I did a little Puff-chasing and I got yelled at. I didn't stop me from doing it again. And again. And yet again. What can I say, it's fun!
The 'rents brought home some awesome groceries too! The photo below is the before picture of what became Sunday dinner and the object of Parker's desire.

That's right kitties, HAM!!!

And if you wonder where Miss Parker-Pants is today, she's sleeping off a Hog hangover.

It ain't pretty.

The Rudy Report

This weekend rocked. We ate stinky goodness and had the 'rents all to ourselves. Parker and I did not fight - not even once!
We were kept very busy with snoopervising Daddy and his cupcakes. He made some for our little sticky-bean neighbor. It was her birthday.

We were willing to send her some stinky goodness for her birthday, but Mommy said that she'd probably like these cupcakes more.

Silly little sticky bean!

Giving The Beans A Break

Even though they have put me on a diet and they are forcing me to play to get healthier, I am hereby allowing my 'rents to go on a real date today. They will be gone all day and not return till late tonight. We have a sitter coming over and I'm even going to be nice to her!

Ain't I nice?

Cookie Snoopervision

My Snoopervising face.

I am pleased to report that the 'rents baked and cooked all day yesterday and I got to watch the whole production. They made two types of soup, some dip and the cookies. Three more days of being the best kitty in the world and then SANTA CLAWS visits! WooHoo!The finished product. I approve.

Tattle Tail Tuesday

As you may remember, the 'rents were in the gift giving mood and got us a new kitty tree. Being the true cats that we are, we ignored it. Mommy thought it might be because we thought it was not sturdy enough. Daddy had to be creative and fix the top of it because our ceilings are taller than 9 feet. Anywho, Mommy called the company to order an extender and a very nice lady said that after shipping, it would be less expensive to buy another tree and use that to extend the one we had. Duh!

So Daddy went to the store and bought another tree.

And he fixed the tree in the living room. It's very sturdy now.

And full of catnip.

With the smell of Mommy's shirt all over it.

Guess what?

It still has vacancies...

Daddy took the rest of the new tree and made a smaller tree in the kitchen by our kitty corner.

Guess what?

We love that one.

Aways keep 'em guessing kitties, that's my motto!

Thankful Thursday - My 'rents

Lots of 'nip, extra porch time, good

brushing, great stinky goodness,

both were in town, wonderful

snuggles, superb skritches,

a fun game of cat dancer and

It's been a great week with the 'rents!

Happy Face Parker!
