Tuxie Tuesday

Kitties!
Salem here!
Have you ever noticed how one set of my eyebrows is white and the other set is black?
It takes a lot of work and concetration to grow 'em that way!




Here I am resting up from all the effort.
I like to sleep at the head of the Big Bed, in the dent between the pillows.
(When Mommy doesn't make the bed, I tend to get a little Hissed Off.)



I like to hang out with May Ling. She's a TON of fun! We play The Chase Game, and we take turns skidding and diving all over the Catio and the house.




How many Tuxedo Cats do you see in this picture?
Mommy's Mommy made the stuffie Cat...his name is Spooky. "Da Shpooks" is named after KonaKitty's Papa, who was a pampered Barn Cat when Mommy & Daddy lived back in Illinois.




When Mommy comes home from work (or whenever I'm feeling a bit peckish) I lay on the Great Room rug and look skeletal.
Can you see my ribs poking out? No? Well just imagine it then...




...and open up the Treat Jar! I'm quite happy to self-serve the chicken jerky treats.
It says on the bag that they're (gasp) d*o*g treats but as soon as Mommy puts them in the jar they magically become (voila!) Cat Treats!
Please note that I am eating on a placemat. I am a Civilized Cat.




To maintain my figure, I like to play with the feather toy in the evening.
I'm a fierce feather toy fighter.
ROWR!





And then I have a snooze in Daddy's chair.
Gotta rest up for tomorrow!

Kitties, I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!
And now it's time for a nap...
XX Salem

  8. MOL! What a great post. we have to say that we have been known to suck our cheeks and bellies in to look half straved when we want extra food.

  9. Salem, we think you have the best days (and home), too! And of course we see that you are skeletal and wasting away...obviously you need more chicken jerky and stinky goodness. ;-)

  10. We wonder if we could get multi-coloured whiskers too by concentrating really hard - Hannah would really love some pink ones ha ha!!
    You have very busy days Salem keeping your eyes on everything no wonder you need to sleep on the pillows.

  11. Goodness me adorable Salem! You have such a full and fun packed day! Me and Charlie think you are a Distiguished Cat with your gorgeous two tone eyebrows! They certainly give you Character!

    :-)

    Being a fierce fevver hunter is such a tough job to do so we hope you have plenty of naps and snoozes!

    Take care

  12. Salem, you are a gorgeous kitty! We love all the photos, but the last one is our favorite - either you can get really small or that chair is really big!

  13. What a hard day you have Salem - and your poor ribs! They need much more padding. And what are you doing in the BATH!?!?!?! I wouldn't bother with a place mat for my chicken jerky after all that stress. What's 'jerky' by the way ?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Very impressive eyebrows Salem, that took lots of concentration fur sure!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Salem, what great pictures!!! Ummm....until you visited uSSSSS, Mommy hadn't noticed that the "basement cat" was watching. The weird thing....those aren't any of the Taylor CatSSSSS eyes in the dark. Mommy has to go and see what the heck those were!!! AHHHHHHHH......scary indeed!

  28. Pleased to meet you, Salem and on a Tuxy Tuesday, too! No, I can't see your ribs, but I like my kitties with a little meat on them. There's more to cuddle that way.

    By the way, I'd love to do some LOLs of you kitties at the Katnip Lounge sometime, but so far I haven't been able to figure out how many of you there are, and all of your names. If you would like to be on the LOLSpot just let me know, and maybe your mama could send me a list of your names, ages, colours and breeds, so I can get you all straight. You can write to: wendyslolspot@hotmail.com if you want.

    Thanks for coming to see us regularly!

  30. Wow, Salem!! What a mighty eventful day you have!! Every night (& morning), if our Mom doesn't feed us AS SOON as she gets up/home - we follow her around, screaming & flop in front of her feets so that she sees how we're wasting away & we show her our ribs, too!! How dare these humans ration us!!!

    Have a great day!!

    ~Nico, Simon & JayJay :)

    ps. Our Mom loved your comment yesterday - it was really funny!

  31. Wow Salem! You stay very busy!!! Looks like tons of fun to us!!! And growing your eyebrows two different colors!!!!!! You are amazing!

  32. Hi Salem! Thanks for the look inside your day!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Salem, we're still trying to figure out how dog treats magically become cat treats!! You guys must live in a magic house!

    ReplyDelete
  34. You sure look like you have fun Salem. We does love those eyebrows! I thinks you has the bestest house to lives in... well sept mine, of course. OK, maybe yours is a little better...
    Have a great day!

  35. O hi Salem, You are looking verrrry fetching today; perhaps not fetching enough to make be be disloyal to The Baby, but close.

    I was especially interested in that placemat you have there to eat your treats on. As you know, I have only a plain white tray. The Human has not yet seen fit to acquire some tasteful table linens for me.

    I'm also intrigued with the doggy-turned-kitty treat. I have never, but never, eaten a single treat the Human has spent her hard-earned cash for (ha ha ha) and yet these sound starngely appealing.

    I will have to discuss it with her.

  36. Such a cool look into your life, Salem. You've got the skeletal look mastered!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Salem, yoo are AWESOME! I have one ear wiv black tufts and one wiv white ~ so I KNOW just how hard it is to grow 'em that way.
    The jerky bits sound yummy ~ we wish we had sum. And did yoo hafta hold yoor breff for the skeletol pic?
