10th Photo Tag - I'm It!

The very sweet kitties over at Sara Cat tagged me for this game earlier this month and I am a little late in playing it. To play this game, the rules are that you go to your first photo folder and scoll down to your tenth photo, post that photo and tell the story behind it!
This photo is from Christmas Eve, 2007 and the 'rents thought I would like to wear a holiday collar. As you may be able to tell from the "I am not amused" look on my face, I prefer to celebrate the holidays without a holiday collar. The collar came off shortly after this photo was taken.
Have a cool Sunday kitties, and keep the holiday spirit alive even if it is April!

Tattle Tail Tuesday With A Tag

This is the 5th file, 5th photo meme. Both Sunny and Rusty tagged me for it.

This is what happens when 3 old college roommates get together for some fun in a park. They let their Golden Retrievers off of their leash and the Retrievers go for a swim in the mud. This photo was taken in the Mitten state about 4 years ago. Mommy laughs every time she sees it. She was not laughing when she had to help these boys get a bath! These handsome woofies belong to one of Mommy's bestest friends in the whole world! She misses her - she lives in California now.
Do you want to play? If so, consider yourself tagged!
Smoochies to you!

I Was Tagged!

Dreaming of warmer days...

The Big Hannah Montana Fan tagged me for a meme last week. She's very nice and you should go and say hi to her!
First I'll say the rules.
1. Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged and to read your blog.
5. For the recipients, leave a comment for the person who tagged you, so they can go and read your answers. Let the fun begin. Tell me more about yourselves so I can get to know you better...
Okay, here are 8 things about me:
1. I am a kitty that loves smoochies!
2. I also love to eat - I never turn down a treat.
3. I am formerly feral and I know how lucky I am to have a forever home.
4. I miss my upstairs deck - I wish it was warmer so I could go out and nap in the sun.
5. My furs are very shiny - I like to keep a clean machine!
6. I was born in SW Kansas. Now I live in O Hi O. In between I lived in Kansas City, MO.
7. If you hold a Temptation treat in front of me, I will high five you for it!
8. I have been blogging for almost 2 years!

If you want to play, consider yourself tagged!
Thanks for the tag Hannah Fanna! I hope every kitty has a very nice Superbowl Sunday!

I've Been Tagged! For The Very Third Time!

The wonderful kitties, Skeeter and LC tagged me for a new Meme!

It's a very good Meme and here it is -

Think of 5 positive things to say about your Bein or other companion. Not about us, but about the others around you.

Pretty good idea, eh? I am going to choose my Mommy since she is taking care of us all by herself while Daddy is in the Sunshine State.

> She dances with me sometimes! I really like it 'cause when we are dancing she will sing to me too and then give me smoochies! I like that mushy stuff...sometimes.

>She taught me how to "High Five" for a treat. This trick has reaped many, many treats!

>She helps me with this blog. Since I don't have thumbs and my claws could get stuck in the keys, she types for me.

>She likes tuna. Since she likes tuna, I get to have tuna juice. And tuna. TUNA! I love tuna!

>Nobody cleans up yak and hairballs better than Mommy! This is a good skill!

I am going to tag three kitties - Lily, Millie and Luxor!

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!

In other news, I have a story to tell you about how I spent my Sunday.

But that will need to wait for tomorrow! I can tell you that we had a lot of fun. I can also tell you that I feel a lot lighter. I can also tell you that Catnip can make almost anything better! I hope everykitty has a great Labor Day. There is a rumor going around that a new grill is being brought home and that meat will be cooked! How cool will that be? Soooo...I need to go now and practice my pathetic starving kitty look in the mirror!

Tagged! Seven Strange Things About My Mommy. (Cripe, Only 7?)

First, the Front and Back of Mommy's Favorite T-Shirt

Megan over at Bad Kitty Cats tagged Mommy to list seven strange things about herself. I live with Mommy and I can tell you that there many strange things about her - this will be easy. Mommy is going to let me tell you about seven of them.
Here I go!
She's the world's guiltiest carnivore - Mommy was a vegetarian for many years. She always said she would never eat anything with a face. Three years ago she was diagnosed with Diabetes and had to cut way down on the amount of carbohydrates that she eats. Now she eats meat, but always feels bad about it.
She loves cloudy days - Now being a cat, I have never met a sunbeam I didn't like. (Hi Anastasia!) But Mommy loves a cloudy day with a cool breeze. Maybe it's because she has very fair skin and no fur to protect her, but she avoids being out in the sun. I find this very, very strange.
She was severely allergic to cats and rabbits as a child - Pretty awful for a kid who loved kitties! She would swell up and couldn't breath. Mommy thinks she developed an immunity by slowly exposing herself to cats over the years. By the time she was 19 she could handle being around one cat, eventually more. (Thank goodness!)
She knows all the words to just about every Motown song - Growing up in Detroit in the early/mid sixties had a lot to do with that.
She parallel parks better than 99% of the people in the world - Mommy said her Daddy taught her how to park and he was an engineer on the big freighters on the Great Lakes. I guess engineers can be pretty precise and park good...
For her last job she drove over 900 miles every week - She had to visit a lot of hospitals for her job, many of them were in remote places that did not have airports. She had to drive. A lot. Every week. She didn't enjoy that very much and had to be away from home. Today, she could walk to work if she wanted to!
She hates to talk on the phone for more than a minute at a time - Mommy said to say this - "if you had to be on call for years and years, you would hate to talk on the phone too!"
So there you have it (only) seven strange things about my Mommy. Strange or not, she's my Mommy and I love her more than tuna juice! That was fun Megan! Thanks!
*p.s. Purrs to Oscar's family - you are in my prayers

Tagged! A Monday Meme By Me!

See my tag? Get it? Tag? Tagged? I crack me up!

The royalest cat I know, HRH Yao-Lin, tagged me. I must obey!

1. Favorite season? I like Autumn. Cool smells, great napping weather, the fireplace, lots of sweaters to lay on!

2. Favorite colors? I have two. Blue and Green - those are the color of my eyes!

3. Favorite room? Wherever Daddy is. But I like the back porch a lot.

4. Do you like dogs? Hmmmm...not as a steady diet. Diamond is OK, sometimes. But other dogs, NO!

5. Ever been in an airplane box? No, and I hope I never do. I might have to do that when we move.

6. Do you have to get bathed? No, no no no no no and no! I am quite capable of keeping my machine clean!

7. Are you in love? Yea, with tuna, shrimp, and fake mousies. I do have a disturbing attraction to him.

8. Where would you like to travel to? My food bowl.

9. What do you ignore? The silent pleas for mercy from my fake mousies.

10. How many lives have you used up? Being formerly feral, I fear I've used up 3 of my 9.

11. Do you have any dark secrets? Not any more, see # 7.

12. What is your favorite holiday? Any day that puts HAM! in my belly - so probably Easter.

13. Water or milk? Water is fine. The occasional sip of milk is a taste treat though! And don't get me going on ice cream!

14. Why do you blog? For the complete answer look here.

15. Are you into extremes? Heck yes! Extreme shrimp eating, extreme HAM! snarfing, extreme napping, extreme sunbathing...the "extremes" go on and on and on...

16. Favorite TV shows? I like to watch Meerkat Manor - I also enjoy whatever makes my folks sit on the couch for a while - then I get to snuggle!

17. Are you a pesty lap cat? Pesty?!? Moi?!? PFFFT!!! My lap advances are always welcomed by the 'rents!

18. Inside or outside cat? I am happy to announce that I am a safe, content, INDOOR cat. This was not always the case.

19. What makes you happy? A Lot! Lesse', there is the big three - Shrimp, HAM! and Tuna Juice, then there are fake mousies, Daddy and Mommy of course, sunny nap spots, the big human bed, my back porch, kitty treats like Temptations, the feather wand, the fireplace in cool weather, rubbing my face all over the 'rents hands, getting carried like a baby, my Gizzy quilt, bird and squirrel watching, getting pony rides from the D.O.G., catnip sprinkled on our kitty steps, foam balls, when Mommy drops food on the floor, clean litter boxes, a pile of clean clothes fresh out of the dryer, comments from my pals, seeing Mommy walk through the door, sneak attacking my siblings from way high up, finding a lost toy under the couch, getting a surprise snuggle from daddy, a little chunk of cheese every once in a while, my Daisy snuggle, big kitty stretches and yawns...as you see, there are many things that make this kitty very happy. The thing that makes me happiest? Easy, I have a forever home!

20. Your most embarrassing moment? When Daddy coaxed me into the apartment he was staying in, I had no idea what a door or window was. I also had no idea what furniture was. And, the concept of a litter box was pretty foreign to me - I had no idea why he kept putting me in this box with crystal things in it! All in all, I had a lot to learn. Thinking back on it it now kind of embarrassing!

My Favorite Things Meme

After being tagged by Yao-lin, Marie, Suzanne and Skeeter and LC, I needed to put my thinking cap on. I have many favorite things, so this was hard! Mommy helped (just a little!)

Here we go!

Perfectly Parker's Perfectly Favorite Things -

Favorite Time of Day -

When Mommy and/or Daddy open their eyes in the morning. It means a love snuggle and shortly after that - FOOD!

Favorite Day of the Week -

Whatever day it is that Mommy comes home for a visit! Daddy is happier, there is a good energy in the (freshly cleaned) house and I get majorly loved on! Oh - and Daddy changes the litter boxes that day too!

Favorite Season -

I think I like Autumn the best! The air is crisp and it's optimum snuggle season!

Favorite Holiday -

That's easy! Easter! One long run-on reason, HAMHAMHAMHAMHAMHAMHAMHAMHAMHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite Beach -

Ummmm...Being from the middle of the U.S.A., AND having fur doesn't lend itself to me being crazy about any beach! Have you ever had to clean sand off of your fur? 'Nuff said!

Favorite Song -

The Year of The Cat, Al Stewart and Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch, The Temptations (Mommy sings that to me!)

Favorite Flower -

Johnny Jump-Ups, They are yummy, er ah, they are pretty!

The morning birds put on quite a talk show outside of our back porch kitty TV!

Favorite Movie -

I'm not much on watching movies, but Mommy's favorite is The Big Chill.

Favorite Soap -

Any soap that stays far away from me! Blech!

Favorite Beverage -

Tuna Jooce! Yum, Yum, Yum!

Favorite Fruit -

I tried a grape once, I didn't like it. I tried a honeydew melon too, nope. I guess I'm just not that into fruit!

Favorite Snack -

Hoo-Boy! I have quite a few "favorites" - SHRIMP! HAM! TEMPTATIONS! DADDY'S FINGERS, THE DOG'S BUTT, FELINE GREENIES, TUNA, ICE CREAM, CHICKEN...I gotta' quit, I'm starving!

Oh No! Favorite Food! Oh No!

I guess I have to say the Fancy Feast mushed-up Seafood stuff. I snarf that down so fast it's a wonder it doesn't come right back up!

Well, that was kind of fun! I tag YOU if you're reading this! Go on, get busy!

Tagged! And It's All About Me!

I was tagged by Icon Baxter Bentley!
Here are the rules. Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!
7 Random Facts About Me…

1. I have the teeniest tiniest purr. And I rarely use it. I am a very happy girl, just not a purring machine!
2. I like to "charge" my sister Powder. I look like a bull in a china shop when I do it. As you may have guessed, Powder isn't too crazy about this "game" of mine.
3. I refuse to jump in Mommy or Daddy's lap when they are sitting in the dining room. But watch out if they are on the couch!
4. I MUST sleep next to Daddy's head at night (right side please!)
5. I will "high five" for treats. I will not "high five" for anything else.
6. I have killed 3 Jade plants in 2 years. They have all been 4 times my size. I am convinced that the leaves were designed to be my personal toys.
7. I have lived with Mommy and Daddy for over 4 years and I still approach food as if I were feral.

Bonus fact - I am sending all of my love and prayers here.

Lessee...I'm going to tag China Cat, DaisyMae, Oscar The Puppy Cat, Merlin, Millie, Stella, and Yao-Lin.
