The Rudy Report

Check out this awesome tail!

Hey kitties, can you hear me now? It's RUDY! With your Rudy Report. We had a very restless night last night. Our little corner of the O Hi O is about 5 blocks from where they have a fireworks display for the town. For the 'rents and all of the other beans it's great because the fireworks are very pretty. But for Diamond Doggie, not so much...Diamond thinks that noisy intruders are trying to steal our stuff and he barks and barks and barks...
The 'rents stay by him and speak to him in soothing voices, that helps ease his stress. But still he barks. I'll tell you, after the first few minutes it can get on a kitties nerves. We try to tell him that it's OK, but he ignores us. Today I am tired and I plan on napping in front of the cold box. The hots have returned with a vengeance! I hope you can stay cool and get some naps in - it's really all that Mondays are good for!

The Rudy Report

Hi there! It's me - the Rudester with The Rudy Report! I'm happy to report that I am still mat free. I had a couple of opportunities to let the breeze blow through my furs and it was wonderful. I was a good boy this weekend, no chasing. It was my way of saying Happy Anniversary to the 'rents.
It's a good thing we got to go out on the deck, there are big storms coming to O Hi O this morning and everyone knows, a wet cat is an unhappy cat.
Have the best Monday possible kitties, and remember to keep your tail held high and proud!

Today The Floof Goes Poof!

Hi kitties, Parker here on behalf of the Rudester. This morning Rudy gets stuffed into the PTU and goes to see Tiffany the very nice groomer. We all had our food and water taken away before we went to bed last night just in case they have to sedate Rudy. Tiffany works out of Diamond's VET hospital  - Dr. Babbit will monitor him if it comes to that.
Since Rudy is going to be 11 years old next month he is considered a geriatric kitty and sedation is always a concern. The good news is that Rudy is very healthy and should be fine if he has to be sedated. But we still worry. As much as I don't care for his orange menace pesky ways, I still want him to be OK and come back smelling all sweet and having his mats gone. Mommy won't relax until she hears he's ready to come home.
Please think good thoughts for our big orange creamsicle - life in O Hi O is always exciting with him in the picture!

Giving Chillaxin' A New Meaning...

The Rudy Report

Well, well, well...it's Monday and you know what that means! It's time for me - Rudy! - to give you the Rudy report. Except for freezy cold weather, a lot of snow and the beans being all busy with the painting of the living room, there's nothing new here in my little corner of O Hi O.

I think that you eat more when it's cold outside - I know that I do! I'm chowing down in this photo and I know that the camera adds a few pounds, but geez...maybe I need to slow down just a little!

You know what else? We are going to get more snow tonight!!!

If you listen closely, you can hear the 'rents crying in the background!

Oh Yeah, You Blend...

He's trying soooooo hard to be good and not whap!

The Rudy Report

Well hey there kitties! It's me - Rudy - with The Rudy Report. What a weekend! There was a strange, small little woofie on our porch yesterday. Seriously, he was no bigger than a snack! And his name? BooBoo! Ah-HaHaHaHaHa! He was named after what I like to give Parker! I sort of wished he would have come into the house, I would have liked to, er, ah, introduce myself! You should have seen Diamond - he was so unhappy about not getting to meet BooBoo - I thought he was going to break through the door! And the whining...jeez...
I sort of like this photo of me, it shows off my floofy tail. No one has a better tail in this home - NO ONE! And she who goes by the name of Mommy had better keep her ideas of grooming me to herself!
Oh - one more thing, I hear Parker is having a little birthday on Thursday. Big plans are in the making. She'll be celebrating eight years of Formerly Feral fun! And there is a very good reason you should stop by for her party. Mark your calendars kitties and not the furniture! HaHaHaHaHaHa! I crack me up!

You Can Run...

...but(t) you can't hide!

...but seriously everykitty, please think good thoughts for the Orange Menace. If he has to be sedated, we will all be worried until we hear he's OK and ready to come home. Afterall, Rudy is my favorite pest and Mommy and Daddy seem to love him a lot too!

...and they took all of our food and water away before we went to bed! SOB!!!

Rudy Hogs My Blog!

Orange and Proud!

Hi Kitties! It's me, Rudy the wonderful mancat. I am very excited because Caesar and Prinnie tagged ME for a Meme. Paaaaaaahker is allowing me to use her blog (after some, er, ah, persuasion on my part). So, here are seven random things about me.

I think I am Supercat! I like to try to boss my sisters around.

My sister Puff is really my mother. She was knocked-up when our Mommy and Daddy got her out of a barn. She gave birth to me and two other kittens. They were adopted to great homes (One is buddies with a Llama!). I was so adorable and cute and orange (mommy has a thing for orange cats) that I got to stay with the family. So I have never been homeless - I know how lucky that makes me.

I would say that I have the floofiest tail in the world. And it's long! When I walk I hold it high in the air. Sometimes if I walk past furniture, you see my tail before you see me! Since I am so good looking I see no need to be groomed and will get quite twitterpated if Mommy tries to comb me. I hiss and try to run away. This is a major point of contention between Mommy and me that usually gets me a trip to the vet for a "poodlebutt" shave. The Furminator and loads of catnip have saved me from that torture this year. I am a major 'nip head.

I am a very, very social boy. I am the guest greeter, the lap sitter, the purr producer, the jump on your chest while you sleep cat and the cat who will try to make humans that say they don't like cats like me! I will be 9 years old on May 13th. I am also the only kitty in the house who really celebrates their birthday on the day they were born. Daddy watched me come into the world. He said he could live his whole life without ever seeing something like that again (but he's glad I am here!). So, there are some random facts about me. I would thank Paaaaahker for letting me use her blog, but I am too rude toward her to do that. She'll be back tomorrow, I think she's off dreaming about some silly Tabby right now.

Have a groovy Saturday!

There Was Peace In The Living Room

Friday nights are wild at our home, yessirreee - wild I tell you! Mommy sits on the couch and Daddy sits in his big chair. The TV is on, Mommy has her laptop on the table and us? Well we think that hanging with them and relaxing is a wonderful way to end a workweek.
We don't always fight. Sometimes we actually stretch out and TOUCH the D.O.G.!
See? Here is Rudy TOUCHING Diamond Doggy! Diamond is wore out from playing with his bunny Foo-Foo and his big chewy bone.
Even bunny Foo-Foo stretches out and enjoys a snooze on the rug. It was a perfectly peaceful evening! (If you are wondering where I was, I was on Mommy's lap - the best spot in the house!)

Mancat Monday - My Brother Rudy

We're liking the upper deck, yup, yup, yup...

Rudy likes to strutt his stuff! What a tail!
The weekend was great, we got to air out on the deck, then snooze through thunderstorms. We even got to play with our tinsel and feather wand! Monday came way too soon.
