One Word Wednesday

Weird.

Happy Wednesday!

Odds-n-Ends

Kitties!

We have a mixed bag of miscellaneous stuff for y'all today.

 Salem has a secret admirer!  He's a tuxie, young, and a member of the FBI (Feline Bureau of Investigation).    He wrote to her in a comment:  "I am always so happy when you are in the blog! I think you are the most beautiful cat, ever! I worship your beauty at your lovely white toes."

Can you guess who it is?

 Artemesia says she still loves Johnny even though he's nekkid, and Miss Jasmine thinks he should start a Noody Club!

Punapippuri wondered how hard is it to get a photo at our house without a kitty in it--we want to know why there should ever be a photo WITHOUT a kitty in it!  After all, we're the good-looking ones around here.

And yes, Puna-Chan, you may take a toy home with you whenever you visit!

Katie Isabella wondered how our outside boy Henry is doing.  We are 99% sure he lives two houses up the street, but he appears every night for dinner at our house.  He still needs to be neutered, but now Mommy is in a quandry...the neighbor people are kinda, well, weird.

Simba, there are people who spin cat fur into yarn!  We Googled it and by golly, there were lots of folks out there who do it.  

To answer your query--Thompson, Diegi-San, and Theo, Maui is a Dead Head.  Big time.

The crew at Beaded Tail wants to know if some of us sleep outdoors at night on the Catio--Scouty  does fairly often, and when it's the HOTS we all sleep out there at night because it's too hot to go out in the daytime!

Au, Target and Guido asked if Hummingbirds have a supersonic shriek--no they don't.  Their little screams are QUITE audible, and loud, too!  They always sound irritated, heh heh.

That's it for now...keep those questions coming, friends!

It gives us ideas for blogs.

Happy Tuesday!

Mystery ManCat Monday!

Kitties!

CC here.

I was nearly frightened outta my fur suit last week when I saw Johnny after he got his Lion cut!

I took one look at him...

...and slunk onto the Sky Lounge to Assess the Situation.

After a little while I figured out that he was Johnny, and not some weird alien kitty.

So I rubbed my head on him to mark him as mine.

I bum-marked him too, just to be on the safe side.

I love Johnny, he raised me up from a wee feral kitten.  Bald or furry, stinky or clean, it doesn't matter. 

 He's still my Tiny Johnson!

Hey...Where'd he go?

Happy Monday!

Sunday with Sheebie: Ten Questions!

Kitties!

Sheebie, a.k.a. Mommy Trish here.

Last week the Lounge Kats were tagged by Clarissa's Cats to answer the Ten Questions meme...and as punishment (long list of infractions...) the Kats directed me to answer them!  Here goes:

1.  Describe myself in seven words-

 moody, independent, witty, analytical, sarcastic, word-loving, rule-breaker, handy

2.What keeps me up at night?

Nothing.  There's a pill for that.  Maybe a good book.

3.  What would I like to be?

Wealthy enough to practice some serious philanthropy.  Warren Buffet style.

4.  What am I wearing right now?

Another one of my haute couture creations:  an oversized ratty lime green tee, baggy olive green capri sweats,  magenta shorty socks, and bright yellow crocs.  It's actually pretty tame.

5.  What scares me?

Failure.  So much so that I sometimes avoid starting things.

6.  Best and worst of blogging?

Best:  Friendship!

Worst:  There's never enough time to visit and leave snarky comments.

7.  Last website I visited:

Clarissa's, for the questions! 

8.  One thing I'd like to change:

I'd love to be tall enough to get stuff from the top shelf in the cupboard!

9.  Slankets, yes or no?

YES!

10.  Tell something about the person who tagged you:

Clarissa loves Alice Cooper (fist pump) and the FIFTEEN cats that live with her.  I find it very comforting that there's someone out there that is owned by more cats than I.

Since this meme has been going around, I'm not gonna tag anybody or anykitty...but if you want to play, feel free, and hit me back so I can read your answers!

Happy Sunday!

PhotoHunt Saturday: "LOUD"

Kitties!

The Theme of this Saturday's Photohunt is "LOUD".

Missus Hummingbird says if sticking out her tongue doesn't deter intruders...

She'll get LOUD with them and shriek!

Happy Saturday!

Formerly Floofy Friday

Kitties!

Nekkid Tiny Johnson here, and I have something shocking to tell you:

I like being nood!

That's right, I don't miss all my floof in the least.  I can roll around all I want and nothing sticks in my coat, and when I get a scratching it really feels good!  Mommy says my hide feels like hot velvet.

Noodity is so freeing.

No more endless licking, grooming, furballs, and mats. 

No more beige tummy fur!

I have so much more time to watch out for my favorite snack, The Baby.

Who knew that nekkidness was so time-efficient? 

 

Mommy has been threatening to shave me for the last couple of months, she even borrowed a set of clippers from a friend and gave it a go on my ginormously generous pantaloons--no dice.  I was getting poopy cling-ons all the time, and my flanks and chest were so matted underneath that I had to bite Mommy every time she tried to comb them.  And then there was the "beige issue"--I couldn't get my white parts white, no matter how much I washed.

Mommy asked about grooming at the Evil Vet's, and she wasn't happy with the price, the fact they wanted to knock me out, and that I had to have all sorts of vaccinations beforehand.  She considered taking me to a groomer, but then she got to thinking (dangerous, I know) that KonaKitty has grooming issues too, and Maui is a disheveled  mess and is too antsy to stay still for a combing.  Which meant toting three of us to a grooming salon, not fun for anybody involved.

There had to be a better way.

At least, better for Mommy.

And there was!  Mommy had seen the Dirty Dog vans in the neighborhood before, and she filed the dastardly information away for further nefarious use.  As you can see, she called and we got groomed--KonaKitty also got some shaving on her hinders but she's too much of a lady to show y'all.  Maui is incredibly soft with neat, organized furs, and check THIS out: 

I can use the box without getting sand (et cetera) in my pants!

Daddy can't get over how sleek I am. 

Side by side with Sylvester, he's actually bigger than me, so much for me being the fat cat, heh heh.

Look how floofy my tail is now, it's as wide as my hips! 

It's still really loooooooong, too.

Mommy was surprised my skin didn't have stripes--I'm solid gray underneath. 

The groomer girls did a great job shaving me, my fur is nice and even, and Mommy only saw one nick on my skin--and I got a good report card, too!

I was very well behaved, it seemed prudent with clippers buzzing around my bum.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with my new look--lion mane, floofy tail, and moon boots.

And nood everywhere else!

I hope you all still love me... 

Up close I still look the same.

Happy Friday!

Catio KATastrophe!!!

Kitties!

Today was too awful for words.

But we'll try for a few. 

Inside the Torture Chamber. 

KonaKitty was the first victim customer. 

She got a shampoo, blow out, and the mats shaved off her hocks. 

Maui was next. 

He was less than impressed! 

One shampoo, blow dry, and dematting later, he's twice as fluffy! 

They saved the worst for last...

Johnny got SHAVED! 

...and a bath.

No blow dry though, he decided he'd had enough and peed in protest. 

Checking to make sure everything is still there.

psssssst, don't tell anybody, but I actually really like it!

Happy Thursday!

Felix Reveals All!

Kitties!

Felix here, and I'm getting spiffed up for a date!

Yup, that's right, a DATE!

I asked Miss Gracie from Goodness Gracie out and she said "yes"!!  I am so excited to show her the town...I rented a pink limo and got tickets to a show and made restaurant reservations, and KonaKitty is coming along as a chaperon; not that I would be anything less than a Gentleman Cat.

I think we're gonna have a Most Excellent Time.

Gosh, I hope she likes me!

Are my nose freckles straight?

Happy Wednesday!
