Smashed on Saturday

Hi Kitties!

Johnny here!

Did the title of today's post fool you?

It's really about me and not Mommy's nefarious afternoon Rum Cocktail habit.

heh heh.

I have a TON of nicknames, one of which is "Mister Smash".

I like fitting into stuff that is WAY too small for me!

The Cat Food Box that Mommy gave us on Wednesday...almost a little too big.

As a kitten tot I loved this fruit box.

Look at how small I was! I don't have a ruff or anything here.

I was playing with a Peacock feather! Or what was left of it.

I've always been happy to smash with another kitty.

Me and Kitten Felix are cuddling here...back in the days when Felix acknowledged that OtherCats existed.

Don't panic! This is NOT a full sized laundry basket!

It fits me purrfectly.

Kitties, if you need to know how to cram eighteen pounds of Cat into a container, come talk to me.

Have a great Saturday!

pee ess: Many kitties commented on the clean uncluttered kitchen counters in yesterday's post...for your information, Mommy is a clean freak. Yes, Salem likes to launch stuff off the counters. And the squirt bottle in the background--I don't want to talk about that. It's Evil.

Fev-vers on Friday!

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

We got a package in the mail...it was Fezzant Fevvers! Mommy ordered some offa eBay to make us one of our most favoritest toys in the world...Fevvers-Onna-Stick.

Me and The Baby are checking out the fevvers and the work area.

There's Daddy in the background!

Mommy uses an old radio antenna (the collapsible kind) for the "stick". Daddy dipped both ends in liquid plastic to make a handle on one end and make the other end safe for us to bite.
This is the fevver/bitey end.


Mommy puts three fevvers on some tape and wraps then onto the stick.

Here I am inspecting the initial tape job.

After lots of tape wrapping (We LURVE to bite the tape) our new toy is ready to go!


I'm inspecting the final product.

Quality control is important.

So is speed. Mommy has to make these fast cuz we are impatient!

Looks good...properly taped, fevvers in good working order...



And here I am with the finished toy!

You can see the red plasticized handle.

OhMyCat!

I gotta go!

Mommy is swishing the fevver toy on the floor!

Thursday Thirteen--Our Day

Kitties!

Our Mommy is off work on Wednesdasy & Thursdays. This means our schedule is disrupted, not to mention our breakfast is late...AGAIN.

We had a tiny discussion with Mommy and she agreed to not pester us into doing anything abnormal (heh heh) and do a photo essay of what we do all day.

Here we go!

1. We hang around in the Little Out.

Mommy, you should clean the window. Sorry about the nose smudges, Kitties.

2. We Bathe.

3. We Nap.

KonaKitty is an old Gal, she spends most of the day peacefully dreaming, resting her bones in the heat on the Catio.

4. The Baby goes Outside to look for lizards.

5. Today's score:

Lizard = 1

The Baby = 0

6. We play in boxes.

Mommy went to the Temple of Fudz and purchased mass quantities of Cat Fudz.

Then she restocked the pantry, and we got the boxes!

Check out Mommy's dinky bony feets at the bottom of the photo. Mommy, you should really preview and crop before you help us post.

7. We nap in the Cat Food boxes.

Sweet Pea has been rasslin' with SomeCat--she's got a scab the size of Rhode Island on her eyebrow. And she won't let Mommy look at it.

8. We play in the packing paper from the packages that get delivered.

Today we got an ENTIRE POUND of valerian root! We go all gaga with the Root...some of us like it even better than the Nip! (Sacreligeous...we know.)

This is the paper that the Root was wrapped in...and Mommy sprinkles some on top for added kick. WooHoooo!

Mommy is going to make some toys for us with Root in it. We can't wait!

9. We nap MORE!

Salem likes to sleep on the floor in the Dining Room. The tile floor is warm from the sun warming up the foundation slab.

10. We hang out in the Great Room. You never know when Fudz might happen...

11. Scouty stares suspiciously at whoever comes into the Bedroom.

He is impossible to sneak up on...most of the time.

One of these days Mommy is determined to grab him and give him a firm petting.

This will happen the same day that pigs fly.

12. We help. Here we are helping put laundry away.

Felix is guarding the sock drawer.

13. We snooze.

Maui disappeared for the entire day...he snuck into the closet and made a nest on Mommy's shorts.

So now you know what we do all day, Kitties. We are VERY busy with all kinds of Cat Stuff.

As we are sure you are, too!

Happy Thursday!

pee ess: Mommy is a horrible lazy slug and will help us leave comments again on Friday...grumblegrumblegrumble...

Watery Wordless Wednesday

Kitties, Mommies & Daddies...keep hydrated...

...and have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Tuesday is Toysday!

Kitties!

Please excuse me if I look a little wrecked. It's all Mommy's fault.

Mommy bought us some New Toys!

She bought us some pawsome Nip YEOWW toys from Baby Patches' store, Nip and Bones!

We love YEOWW toys and Nip and Bones have a great selection to choose from.

I got pretty baked playing with this one.

And Mommy bought us some Nip JellyBeans from The Casbah Kitties!

Jane and Alice were so nice, they sent us an extra JellyBean. They must know we're not so good about sharing, sometimes...Thanks you two!

Sweet Pea is a tiny bit nipped out.

heh heh.

May Ling is crazy about the JellyBeans...

Mommy tossed them onto the chair, and May Ling would bat 'em off. Do you see the JellyBean in midair?

Grayce went nutty on the YEOWW punkin.





And she enjoyed laying on the packing paper that the toys came in, too!





It was super duper Nippy smelling.

Mommy also got us some honeysuckle spray from Nip and Bones and sprayed a bunch of our toys...

...this ball is one of my favorites (once again!) and I've been batting it all over!

We also got a pink YEOWW pillow toy, but I hid that one right away...gotta save something for later!

We LOVE alla our new toys, and Mommy was happy to be able to buy from our CB friends, and not a big chain. You don't get a nice note from other Kitties and their Mommies when you shop at a big box store! The personal touch means a lot.

Hey! I gotta go...somecat is snooping around the credenza where I hid MY pink pillow...

Bye Kitties!

ManCat Monday with CC

Kitties!

Hi! It's me...CC.

My full name is Cow Cat, but I go by my initials because Mommy didn't know that cow cats were only Black & White. Mommy is an endless source of embarassment.

But "CC" is OK with me because I am Royalty!

Yup, you heard it here first.

My Royal Name is:

"Prince of Not-So-Bright"

Isn't that AMAZING? Who would've guessed that a feral kitten like me had such high-born ancestry? Now if I can only find Not-So-Bright on a map I'll be all set and ready to rule.

In the meantime, I'll be sleeping here in the small Cat Tree.

I love to play. I play with all of the Cats...although I sort of avoid The Baby. She's pretty crabby and would like to box my ears. Sometimes she charges me and I have to run!

Johnny and I play a lot.


Maui and I play and hunt together. Here we are "examining" a lizard, while Johnny looks on.

I'm also a big cuddler. I like to sleep with both Mommy & Daddy, and I bite Daddy's toes and knees to wake him up in the morning. At night I race into the big bedroom and leap onto the bed for Mommy lovins'. She scratches my tummy just how I like it and she SPANKS my bottom. Man o man, I LOVE having my flanks scrubbed and my bum spanked. I purr like a motorboat!

I also like to snuggle with my brothers. Except Felix. I think Felix knows about my Title and is Jealous.

This is me and Johnny, early last summer.

This was a great box. Mommy finally had to throw it away...we chewed it to shreds and then somebody (we're not saying who) finally peed on it. That's how we let Mommy know we're done with a box. Clever, huh?

Me and Rupert. We sleep together a LOT. He washes my face and nibbles my eyebrows down to stubble. Rupert says that's how all the trendy Cats are wearing their eyebrows nowadays! He's older than me so I suppose he knows best...

We sleep together in the hot boxes, too.

Of course I hang out with my littermate, Scouty. We are the world's best buddies! I sure wish he'd listen to me and let Mommy pet him. He doesn't know how good it feels...especially the spanking part.

We are waiting for Mommy to get a clue and give us chicken jerky!

And here is one of Mommy's favorite pictures of me, Johnny & Scouty. As you can see me & Scouty were still kitten tots. We were watching birdies on the front walk here.

So Kitties, I hope you are all having a great Monday.

And I hope you all get the spankings you deserve!

Shocking Sunday Foods Report

Kitties!

We have some terrible news to report.

Saturday morning we had to

::gasp::

WAIT FOR BREAKFAST!!

A little background first.

We get supper around 4 PM. Mommy's very geneous and there's plenty for us to eat. We might also score some of Mommy & Daddy's dinner, and later in the evening we get some dried chicken jerky to clean our fangs.

Nobody goes to bed hungry.

In the morning, Mommy gets up, staggers to the big white water bowl, does her thing (WHY does she have to pee in our water bowl?) and totters out to the kitchen, snagging our now empty food bowls as she goes. We all crowd around Mommy at (ON!) the counter and sing the "Hungrumbly Song".

Mommy chides us for being such terrible pig cats, and strews some hard kibbles on the floor so we'll leave her alone. Then she serves up our stinky goodness, and makes coffee.

Normally this happens at 5:30 AM.

On Mommy's days off this routine happens later, but we know as long as she's in bed, food is coming, and we don't pester her TOO much.

Well. Saturday morning Mommy had to be at work by 3 AM, so she got up at the last possible minute (2:24!) washed her face, got dressed, and LEFT!

Just like that.

No kibbles, no stinky goodness, no nuthin'!

It didn't matter that there was food left in our bowls...we want to be fed when Mommy gets up. That's a sacred rule. We cleaned our bowls and pondered our next move.

By 7 AM we were a little worried we were gonna starve to death until we remembered that Daddy has thumbs and HE could feed us. But he wasn't up yet!

::cue Thundering Horde into the bedroom::

Daddy is a sound sleeper, so we gave it all we had. At 8:00 AM May Ling was finally successful waking up Daddy by headbutting his face.

And he fed us! Hurrah!

Now all that remains is to decide Mommy's Punishment for the

"Serious (Non)Feeding Infraction".

Any ideas?

Have a wonderful Sunday Kitties, and we hope you get all you want to eat!

Sweet Pea Saturday

Hi Kitties!

Sweet Pea here.

hee hee...Yesterday KonaKitty thought I didn't get any nip...but she was wrong!

I got my own private Nip pile out on the Catio--thanks Daddy, you ROCK!

I made sure I had a few good toys on hand...

Hmmmm, this candy cane, kickeroo and a couple of mousies shoud be enough...

...and then I went crazy on the Nip!

WooHoo!

I had a huge silly session, and then I slept it off.

Gotta be fresh for suppertime!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


So Kitties, don't worry that I was left out...where there's Nip, there's Sweet Pea!


Oh...and in the last picture from yesterday's post there are eight kitties...didja count correctly? It's OK if you didn't...there WAS a lot of nip involved! hee hee...


Have a fun Saturday, Kitties...
