Fifty Two.

Kitties!

Today we'd like to wish a Happy Anniversary (Fifty Two years!) to a much loved and very special couple:

Our Grandpawrents, Don and Pat!

Wishing you a wonderful day, filled with joyous service to your small feline, Shadow.

Happy July 10th!

Our Millenial Payback Party Post!

Kitties!!

Welcome to our ONE THOUSANDTH post!

(yes, it is a word!)

We have scads of fun stuff to eat and do...and naturally, we have devised a devious two-part plan to a) punish Mommy for leaving us and b) not blogging (or commenting) for two weeks.  It involves parting her with money...but more on that later.

First, let's munch some foodables!

We decided on a simple theme; surf, turf and air.

Flounder

Rodentia Platter

Real turf for our vegetarian pals

Pterodactyl!

The last one is kinda tricky...we suggest eating that one in a group...maybe grab a woofie to help.

Sylvester is manning the drinks cart, he can whip you up anything you desire, and there's cream for the kitten crowd (and designated drivers).

We have fun stuff to do:

Paper Towel Decoupage--or Shreddem, you choice

Box Wars!

String Theory

Pipe Cleaner Frenzy

Plus, there's plenty of room for games of Tag, Chase, and Scare the Pants off of Each Other.  We have directed Mommy to leave the beds unmade for napping, and Daddy has the gardens freshly tilled for en plein air whizzing.

Whew!  Did everybody get enough to eat?  Sufficiently frolic'ed?  Ready to hear our fiendishly clever plan?  Good!  Because we are gonna really sock it to the Thumbed Wench this time with a commentathon--to be donated to the Nevada SPCA--we will make Mommy pay 50 cents per comment (one per blog, please, we do wanna eat this week) on this post!  We'll keep a tally until 10 AM (PST) Wednesday morning when we'll conduct a final count to arrive at the punishingly wonderfully large (we hope!) sum.  

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Are we bad kitties, or what?

But wait, there's MORE!

We will also draw one comment at random for an Awesome Surprise Gift!  In fact, it's so much of a surprise even we don't know what it is yet...but we're sure that it'll be something good!

Last (but really First and Foremost) we want to thank all of you for being such wonderful readers, lurkers, commenters, and friends.  We wouldn't have lasted ten posts without all your sauciness and sarcasm.  And support.  Not only do all y'all totally rock, you are rocks that we can hold on to when things get tough.

So have fun, and don't forget to help us wreak pucuniary havoc on Mommy's wallet and help homeless animals all at the same time...leave a comment!

Happy Happy Mth Monday!

Love,

The Lounge Kats

Meezer Monday Announcement!

Kitties!

It's Meezer Monday and I have a HUGE announcement to make!

This is our One Hundred & Oneth post!

May Ling, shouting the news!

Yup, it's true!

And it's all because of this guy...

Felix!

There is (of course) a story behind our blog.

About two years ago, Mommy (and us!) discovered Skeezix's blog when she Googled "kitten diaries", and found the Cat Blogosphere shortly thereafter...like in about ten minutes.

We were all enthralled.

We read, and read, and read, and a great once and a while, we'd comment.

Grayce, contemplating a reply.

We got to know all of you, and even though we were just lurkers, we were DAILY lurkers.

We were interested in all of your lives, your ups & downs.

Reading your blogs made us happy.

CC, Contemplating all our friends.

And then, something terrible happened.

Felix hurt himself, badly. He tore up his knee and his patella luxated.

Mommy and Daddy and all of us were worried he might not heal right, or worse yet, he'd be in pain for the rest of his life.

But we had a resource...Maggie May from The Creek Cats! Her patella had luxated too!

The Baby, with a great idea!

So Mommy emailed Maggie May's Mom and asked her for advice. And Maggie May's Mom wrote back within a few minutes! And then Mommy emailed a picture of Felix, and Maggie May featured him on her blog and asked for the Cat Blogosphere to purr for him. And TONS of kitties did!

Johnny, purring for Felix's knee to get better.

Maggie May's Mom also said that OUR Mommy should start a blog.

That was all it took.

Kona is amazed!

We sat Mommy down and said: "We wanna blog!"

Maui, laying down the Paw.

And what We want, We get!

Rupert asks if YOU can resist this face?

So Mommy DID it! She figured out how to blog! Boy, she was afraid it would be a flop, or she would mess it up, or...well, you know how People fret.

Salem, practising non-fretting.

And we discovered we LOVE blogging! One of the things we enjoy the most is reading and writing comments.Sweet Pea, thinking of a witty remark!

And we LOVE all the friends we've made. Y'all have made us feel so welcome!

And given Mommy a fun creative outlet. (She needs to be kept busy.)

Scouty thinks Mommy is a Crazy Cat Lady.

Best of all, Felix's knee healed and he's back to his crazy antics and everyday crankiness.

Hurrah!

So Kitties, here's to the next One Hundred (and more) posts!
