Circus Cat Saturday!

Kitties!

May Ling here.

I'm gonna show Felix a Circus Trick!

Hey Felix!

Watch this!

Felix:  I'm looking...whatcha gonna do, Miss Ling?

::hop, teeter, teeter, claw-scrabble-balance::

*Whew* 

Look!  I'm a Circus Cat, balancing on top of the scratcher post!

Felix:  ME-WOW!

Felix, the view is great from up here...

...Mister & Missus Pigeon are in to eat their seeds!

* kak kak kak kak kak*

Whoops!  I scared 'em away by chittering at them.

Time for the Mighty Circus Cat to get down, my flawless performance is complete.

::leap::

And I stick the dismount!

Hurrah!

Felix:  Good Grief.

Happy Saturday!

Friends on Friday!

:tap tap::

Is this thing on?

I think so...

Hi Kitties!

Henry here.

The Lady who lives here left her Magic Innernets Box out here on the Patio, so I decided to reveal some of my secrets to you.

I know all about you kitties and the blogsophere and other stuff from the Kats who live inside the Catio, and they told me all y'all were curious about me.  Which is only natural, being that you're CATS.

Anyway, I have a pretty nice gig going on here at my Restaurant Stop.  The People put a nice big serving (two cans!) of wet food out every evening, and there's always kibble to eat along with fresh water in my Hut.

I come in at dusk to eat and socialize, and sometimes I swing by in the morning to say hello.

The Man who lives here is very intriguing.  I've sniffed his hand a few times and one of these days I'll let him pet me.  He's pretty cool, unlike the Lady who talks to me in this ear-splitting screechy high voice.  I might let her get near me if she promises to keep her pie hole closed.

Since my Restaurant Spot is part of my Territory, I need to make sure it smells like me. 

This area is a little deficient...

...yup, the overly-zealous People have once again (!!!) hosed my Manly Pee Odor off the screen. 

*sigh*

A ManCat's work is never done. 

::tssst!  tssst!  tssst!::

There.  

All is right with the world now, everycat will know that this Catio is Mine.

At least on the Outside.

*dusts off paws*

OK, time for me to go take a nap. 

 I don't sleep in the Hut that the People built for a couple of reasons; first off because I'm a Cat and you know how we feel about beds WE don't pick out, and secondly I have a Sleeping Spot I already feel really safe in.  Where is it?  I can't tell you--it wouldn't be safe then! 

I like to hop up on the wall from the new launching area the Man built.  

The walls in the neighborhood are my purrsonal highways! 

The Lady says that soon I'm going to go someplace to get "fixed".  I've got news for her; I'm not broken!  Look at how healthy I am and what big CatNuts I have.

Fixed!  As if.

And I have no plans to go anywhere... 

...except up onto this flyover wall.

Another good ManSquirt onto the palm fronds. 

My work here is done.

See y'all later! 

I'll be back for dinner tonight.

Can I have the Salmon Dinner?  I like that flavor best.

Happy Friday Kitties!

Thursday in the Garden with The Baby

Kitties!

The Baby here.

As you can see, I'm in the garden window, NOT in the garden.  Apparently, I'm still Not To Be Trusted outside.

So once again, I sent Daddy outside to take some pictures for y'all, under my instructions, of course.

This is our bottlebrush plant.  Daddy is going to prune it to grow into a tree.  It's been REALLY windy here, so the blooms look a little blurry.

Here's a closer look.  The yellow balls on the tips of the red spiky things are pollen for bees and flutterbys and MOTHS!

These are some pretty daisies in the front yard--Mommy needs to get off her bum and do some deadheading.

In the back yard there are these pretty plants, does anybody know what they are?

Nobody here does, either!

I call 'em "Magic Purple Lizard Buffets" because lizards often are slaughtered by my Paw of Doom hide under them.

The Star Jasmine is in bloom!  The whole Catio smells wonderful.  Daddy gave it a crew-cut last fall and now it has lots of new growth.  Do you see it creeping along the trellis?  Pretty soon it will shade this corner and keep our Little Outside area nice and cool in the summertime.

That's all for today, kitties.  Good job, Daddy.

Come on back tomorrow--Henry is doing a guest post!

Now, I must nap.

The Lump

Kitties!

Daddy was walking down the hall when he saw this:

Now, while the fact the bed is made is amazing, the thing we'd really like you to notice is The Lump.

Now, Lumps aren't something you see every day around here.  Bed Warts yes, Lumps no.

Daddy had to check it out.

He started his investigation by gently touching The Lump.  It was small, firm, and emitted tiny irritated "mews" when palpated.

Intrigued, Daddy decided to delve into The Lumpen mystery further. 

 He lifted the quilt...

..and The Lump was revealed.

Salem:  Daddy, I'm trying to sleep here!

Curiosity satisfied (and suitably chastened), Daddy lowered the quilt, 

 tip-toed out of the room,

and The Lump resumed her slumber.

Happy Wednesday!

Tuesday Tussle!

Kitties!

Rupert and Sweet Pea here.

Every day, when we wake up from our second early mid-afternoon nap (16:00) we meet up in the living room.  Today KonaKitty was hanging out to watch the action.

Hi Sweet Pea!    Hi Rupert!

Rupert, you need a wash, you have eye boogers.

::slurp slurp::

Sweet Pea, you have whisker crust!  Let me get that for you...

::nibble nibble::

HEY!  You're trying to nibble my whiskers right off!

I'll give you a big raspberry, Rupert!

PTHBBBBT!

::whap whap whappity whap::

heh heh.  I'll just scootch my snooter in close to her tummy...

...and dive for the neck!

aaaaaiiiiieeeeeee!!!  She's bunnykicking me!

Time for my patented Whole Paw Chomp!

::BLECH::

Ha ha Rupert!  I was just digging in the box!  Tastes icky, doesn't it?

Gross!  Let's call it a draw.

Again?

Yup, there's always tomorrow!

Happy Tuesday!

ManCat Monday FAIL

Kitties!

Scouty here.

The OK Cats commented yesterday that they didn't see ME with any Bunny Ears on in Sunday's post.  Well, that doesn't mean Mommy didn't try.

She did.

The first thing she did when she got home (before torturing my other furblings) was sneak up on me while I was sleeping.  

Then...SHE TOUCHED ME!

In fact, Mommy petted me for a couple of minutes, while I snoozed.  I thought I was having a really nice dream involving pretty LadyCats so I didn't mind.  I stretched out long, turned over, and then, ::HORRORS::  I woke up.

There were no pretty LadyCats, only that touchy-feely troll Mommy in awful overalls!

I leaped up and hissed a mighty hiss.

Then I kept a close eye on Mommy, because basically she's untrustable.  She could have that stew pot ready and waiting for me anywhere, anytime.

Kitties, I learned something yesterday; there are WORSE things than the stew pot!

Now I have TWO things to worry about.

Like real fake Bunny Ears.

Whew, dodged a bullet there.

Happy Monday!

Note from Mommy:  Scouty is veryveryVERY soft and silky!  I got in a good minute of flank and tummy rubbins before he came to and freaked out.  One of these days I'm just gonna grab him and MAKE him love pettings.  In full leather and a face mask.
