An oldie but a goodie, one of our favorite cartoons - all of us at casa de Perfectly Parker wish you a Happy Easter. We will be celebrating with Parker and she'll be getting her fill of HAM!!!HAM!!!HAM!!!
Smoochies to all of our friends!

The Rudy Report

Hello kitties! It's me Rudy, with the Rudy Report!

Hard to believe, but Puff and I shared the back of the loveseat in peace and harmony! I guess I was feeling all peaceful after the Easter HAM!!! we got to sample. I think HAM!!! is one of the best things about Easter from this kitty's point of view. It was a wonderful Easter and we got to go out and enjoy the warm sunshine on the deck. The girls had a spa day with the Furminator and I got to watch. There was a little 'nip party too! All in all, Easter rocked for us kitties, I hope your Easter Sunday was full of wonderful things!

The Easter bunny brought this little statue to Mommy. She is in love with it. Notice that the kitty is orange - I do not think this is a coincidence.

Have a lovely Monday and remember, HAM!!! is even better the next day!

The Rudy Report

Hi! It's me, Rudy, with The Rudy Report! What is up?

I am so excited! There is sunshine and there is warm - right through these doors! The only problem is that the 'rents say that it's still too cold to open the doors. I say they should open them. They could put their coats on, right?

Mommy had a lot of fun in the Mitten state this weekend and we had a lot of fun with Daddy. He grilled HAM! but we did not get any because Diamond is on a diet and if he can't have tastes we can't have tastes. I don't think we should have to suffer just because  of Diamond being on a diet. You should have seen Parker...HAM! in the house and none of it went in her mouth. It really was kind of sad.

I coped with this injustice by hogging all of the 'nip toys and dreaming of Spring.

Have a groovy Monday kitties, pretend that it's Saturday!

Saturday Caturday

It's a good day for me to show the 'rents how to relax - I've been playing with one of my 3 Blind Mice from Marvelous Melissa  and now it's time to be velcro kitty on one of the radiators. It's very, very cold  - 0 degrees! Daddy only lets Diamond outside for a few minutes because any longer than that and he would be a pupsicle!

I think the 'rents need to stay inside and cook something yummy. Maybe some HAM seasoned with catnip!

The Rudy Report

Hey there, Hi there, Ho there - it's me, Rudy, with the Rudy Report!

I know, I am unbearably cute. And I have been having a blast with Uncle D. The best part of this weekend was that Mommy cooked a huge HAM!!!
You should have seen Parker - she was going crazy in the kitchen. She said HAM!!!HAM!!!HAM!!! over and over and over - everyone laughed at her! She made a real spectacle of herself. But it worked and we all got to have some yummy HAM!!! Even Powder came down for the party! We all know that the rest of the HAM!!! is in the fridge, so everytime it gets opened, there we are singing "HAM!!!HAM!!!HAM!!!" The 'rents just love it when we sing. Really...

Funny Friday

When Mommy went grocery shopping this week she saw this Limo parked in front of the store. She and I agree that if you have the money for a Limo like this, you should have included a cat in the mix. Especially since there is already HAM!!! on board!

Have a fun-filled Friday kitties!

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.

Thursday 13 - What Daddy Did in Florida

I think all of you know by the incredible amount of pouting I did lately that my Daddy left me to go to Florida. But you did not know why he went. Here are 13 things my Daddy did on his trip to Florida.
1. He flew in big airplanes. He does not like to fly, so this was a lot like my Mommy shoving me in a PTU and going to the VET! Except she had to drive him to the airport and listen to him cry about the awfullness of it all.

The handsome man on the left is my Grandpa - he turned 90 years old last weekend. That's why Daddy agreed to get in a PTU. 2. They had a party and ate birthday cake and HAM!!! Without me... :(

3. My Grandpa was in the Navy at Pearl Harbor on the day it got attacked, so they looked at old news articles about that awful day. 4. Did I mention that they ate HAM!!! without me already? 5. They posed for photos wearing Chicago Cubs Floppy hats that Daddy had bought for my Grandpa and Grandma. 6. Daddy said he perspired a lot because it was very hot and humid in the Sunshine State. 7. He also took many, many showers because of #6.

8. Daddy played tennis. Poorly. 9. As a result of playing tennis, he had to buy a new pair of tennis shoes because his old pair fell into pieces. 10. He took a lot of Ibuprofen after he played tennis, I do not know why. 11. He got to meet a nephew of his that he had never met in person before. This was very exciting and cool for Daddy.

12. He watched the moon through the palm trees at night. If he would have been in Miami, would he have been watching the "Moon Over My Hammie"? HaHaHaHaHa!

13. He missed me. It's good to have him home!

Thankful Thursday

First of all, kitties, kitties, kitties...thank-you so much for all of the wonderful birthday wishes! I was so touched! Being 7 is great! I had a very happy day - lots of lovin' and skritches and 'nip and snuggles. But the part that really made my whiskers wiggle was...

HAM!!!
Mommy and Daddy got me my very own bowl o' HAM!!!
Sniff, sniff...MMMmmmmmmm!
Hand it over Mommy!
AAAhhhhhhhhhh! I dig pig!

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!

Easy Like Bunday

Happy Spring and Happy Easter Everykitty! Rudy reporting today. Here are some random shots that prove that the Easter Bunny came to O Hi O! He didn't even let the snow slow him down! Yup, that's right, we got snowed on again. Siegfried and Roy were not very happy about that 'cause their bunny ears got wet! Anyway, as a surprise for Parker, the Bunny left her a mini-ham for dinner! She's gonna' be sooooo excited! Have a wonderful Bunday! Love and kisses, Rudy.

See! A mini ham!

Happy New Year!

Hi! Puff here. I'm filling in for Parker, she's on Mommy snuggle duty and cannot leave Mommy's side. Mommy still feels poorly and we have to make sure she gets better soon. We are sorry we missed the New Year's Eve parties. Parker was hoping to see Tripper somewhere and maybe get a New Year's Eve smooch. Oops, I'm blabbing too much!
Oh, I also want to let the anonymous kittie(s) who left an email a few weeks ago about getting our Secret Paw soon that it never did arrive - so if you did send it, you might want to check with the beans that you gave it to send it. I think it got lost!

Daddy has been very busy too! He's had to look after Mommy, feed us, start to un-decorate the house and cook! I will miss my favorite tree ornament.
To ease the sting of that, look what he cooked last night!












Needless to say there were four very happy kitties and one happy doggy with a bellies full of HAM!HAM!HAM!HAM!
2008 is going to be great as soon as Mommy gets better! I have to go now, my snuggle shift starts soon!

Thursday 13 - Things I Found in My Stocking!

Santa must have given all of us extra brownie points for being so good this year!

I think that the move from Kansas City to O Hi O helped us score a lot of goodies because we were such good kitties and didn't complain too much about it (of course it's hard to complain when you are on drugs!) Here are 13 things that I found in my stocking on Christmas Morning!

Temptations!

A new collar!

A new collar charm with bling!

Feline Greenies!

A big catnip mousie!

A tinsel ball!

A small fake mousie!

A can of Fancy Feast!

A new feather wand!

A bag of 'nip!

A whirly ball that can be filled with 'nip!

Catnip bubbles!

A tube of dried shrimp!

Not bad for a formerly feral kitty, eh? My siblings had lots of goodies in their stockings too! It really was a lot of fun - we even got to have a little roast beast from Christmas dinner and we have been enjoying the fireplace with the added bonus of boxes to play in! I also saw a HAM! in the fridge for later this week! HAM! HAM! HAM! HAM! HAM! HAM! HAM! HAM! Oh, sorry, I got a little carried away there. Mommy said we should be very thankful for all of the goodies we get from Santa and we are! She has to go back to her hunting place today. It was nice to have her home so much - 5 whole days of Mommy time was great! I won't miss that flashy thing on her new camera though! Maybe I'll hide the camera while she's gone!

Formerly Feral Friday - I'm Getting Picky!

Last Sunday Mommy thought she would make a special treat for all of us kitties. She took the recipe from Hot(M)BC for HAM! Cookies. She even went out in the blizzard to buy the ingredients 'cause we don't have baby food, wheat germ and powdered milk just hanging out in the pantry. She really is a good Mommy!
Here's the most important part - HAM!
She mixed everything up and rolled the mixture into little balls. (She says that wearing disposable gloves is a very good idea!) Then she popped them into the oven and baked them 'till they were all brown and pretty.
Here's the finished product. She let them cool and then she called all of us into the kitchen. Then she gave each of us our very own cookie. You know what we did then? We sniffed them. Then we looked at Mommy. Then we all left. Then Mommy called us back and broke the cookies up into smaller pieces to see if we would eat them. Nope. Not interested. Mommy wondered if I was sick or something 'cause I love HAM! more than anything else in the world. She finally gave up and left the kitchen. Later she caught Powder snarfing the cookies down. So, 1 kitty out of 4 ain't bad! She did, however, discover that Diamond Doggy LOVES them! I think it's going to be a very long time before Mommy makes us any treats again, she'll stick to getting our treats from the store! So, here's what I know - even formerly feral kitties can get picky, but we never forget how lucky we are to have a great home and a Mommy who loves us very much. Happy Friday everykitty!
