Maui's Busy Monday...AND a Special Guest!

Kitties!

Maui here.

One of my many jobs here at The Lounge is Quality Control Inspector, Kitchen Area.

I have to lick the sandwich bread wrapper,

Sniff the artisan bread, 
and test it for freshness. 

 Mommy bought this bread on sale...I think she'd better get it into the refrigerator!

hmmmm, are these tissues up to par? 

YUP! 

OK, everything is copacetic in the kitchen.

Now I would like to introduce our Special Guest,

Henry!


Henry is getting a little braver, he sat up on the wall by the jasmine vine and watched Daddy on the Catio for a bit, and he's looked in the windows by the front door.

Daddy is pretty sure he's seen a couple of ping-pongs under Henry's tail, so he'll be getting a trip to the vet one of these days...the Havaheart trap will strike and voila!, no more kitten-making for Henry.

We don't know if he's truly feral or not...so we don't have any answers as to what's gonna happen after his snip.  We shall have to wait and see.

Happy Monday!

  1. Henry - welcome! You are a handsome boy. We hope that he gets more confident and becomes number 14 soon, even if he will be minus two mancat attributes.
    And we love Maui's food inspection technique. We would adopt it, if we ever had any food to inspect..........

  2. Maui, you do a great job as a Quality Control Inspector in the kitchen! Your mom is lucky to have you on patrol!

    Henry is very handsome and we're glad he's getting braver around your dad too! We're also glad he's going to lose his ping pongs so there won't be more homeless kitties in Vegas!

  7. Maui, excellent job with the quality control. It's a tough job, but somecat has to do it.

    Henry is very handsome and we think he would be a great addition to the lounge. (easy for us to say, we don't pay your cat food bill!) Seriously, we think it's great that your Dad is going to take him for his Hoo-Ha-ectomy.

  9. I imagine Henry is envious of all you kitties with your fabulous catio! But if he wants to be allowed to hang around, he has to get rid of those ping pongs!

  10. Maui, Quality control human food ! ...That's so cool !!!!! ..MOL... I like the way you check the bread " Paw right on the middle of the bread "

    Henry is a good looking guy and look well fed. But I think if he got his own human. That ping-pong under his tail should be give you guys some sign after this. ( I mean Like... Before my mom adopted me. My parent thought, I might be a stray cat and then I got scare on my head, a few day later, My hair got shave. That told my mom straight away, I got the owner )

    And Please say Thank you to your mom and dad to captured his photo, Mom told me it's really hard to captured the visitor at night time. Because you never know when he come.

  15. My mommy laughed and laughed at Raymond and Busby's remark. What's so laughy about a Hoo-Ha- ectomy I keep asking her?

    Henry is a handsome man cat and those ping pong balls make it hard to sit down properly. I think he should go for his Hoo-Ha-ectomy. Mom! Quit laughing! You're jiggling me!

  17. Maui, you're an excellent kitchen inspector. The kitchen at our mom's office really could use you.

    It's nice to see Henry! We hope your mom and dad are able to get him fairly easily for his snip-snipping. Good luck!

  20. Maui, you are such a good kitty to take care of the contents of the kitchen and where the items should be.
    So that is Henry. Will he be #14. He matches Sylvester so he just has to come inside. He probably got the message about all the good food and toys at the Lounge. Good luck Henry with your little boy surgery.

  21. OMC Henry looks like me....well he doesn't have freckles on his nose but he could be my brudder from another mother...
    Is he black and white or gray and white.
    Give him a hug from is 1/2 sis.
    Hugs Madi

  22. Henry, you are handsome AND smart for hanging out by the catio! You are a lucky boy to find people who will take you for your hoo-ha-ectomy. Just ask Nigel and Figaro.

  23. Hello Henry. You are a cutie. You picked a great place to hang out--and you will be much happier without your. . ping pongs.

  24. Great job in the kitchen Maui!
    You have such a load of responsibilities to take care of every day.
    Hello Henry! You are a handsome kitty indeed!

    This last summer mom finally had enough of the gray cat that was hanging around and was responsible for 3 of our garage cat Zolie's litters. He used to come & go but he finally decided to take up residence under the deck. He was spraying & making it stinky outside so mom just picked him up one day & took him to the shelter. He was nice, someones cat, he would come right up to you and rub your legs. At first she felt bad because it was obvious he was someones cat, but then not sad because they obviously were irresponsible cat owners letting him roam like that. He was missing an eye too, from fighting. When he finally stopped even going to his so called home and moved in here, she knew she had to act.
    Good luck with Henry!

  27. What a great job you are doing! Such impawtant werk, too. And Henry... we are glad you will lose your ability to make kittens. As much as we luff them.. there are far too many homeless out there.

  28. I don't know what ping pongs are so I asked Simba. He says he doesn't know either so we asked mummy. Mummy says she will sit down with us this evening and tell us all about it. Simba seems quite interested but I think I would rather go and play. Henry is very sweet and i'm sure he would like to come in and play with you all very soon xx

    I think you are doing such a great job there with this quality food control! LOL

  30. Henry you are beautiful and would be a smart boy to join the Katnip Lounge kitties!

    Maui, my Devon likes to lick the bread bag too!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Ah Maui, we have a bread inspector here, too - who always manages to take the wrapper (bread intact) to the floor where the dogs make the bread NOT intact.

    Glad Henry will be getting the snip.

    Henry! Oh my gosh--will he be #14? The suspense is killing me.
