Ten Things, Day Eleven: Rupert!

Kitties!

Rupert here.
Whatcha doing?

I'm sorta a no-nonsense guy, so let's get started with my Facts! 
I'm loooong and shiny.  My fur suit glitters in the sun, or with the flash.  I have Grey on Gray stripes!

My toe pads are mauve.

Mommy thinks I look like a teddy bear here.  
 Although I look very plush, I actually have a thin coat.  I don't have downs fur, only guard and awn hairs.  Because of this, I don't like the cold, and I love the HOTS.  I lie outside in the heat until I melt into a furry puddle of happiness.

Do you see my skin? 
When I first came to live inside I had terrible bite wounds on my hiney that had abscessed.  The vet said my fur might not grow back, and she was right!  It's long enough that I don't have bald spots that show, thank Cod. 
The reason I got chomped on the bum is that I'm a lover, not a fighter, and I was trying to escape a confrontation.

I like nip... 
...but I LOVE valerian root!

I enjoy hanging out in the Lawn. 
Maui sleeps here too. 
 I don't like Maui.  At ALL.
 I have to chatter at him whenever I see him, I go "Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh"! Mommy says I sound like a chimpanzee.
Whatever THAT is.

I hang around in the cube a lot. 
I chase my tail in here (that thing is UNRULY) and wait for Unsuspecting Victims.

One of my Best Buddies is CC. 
He lets me nibble his eyebrows, he's such a good sport.
Plus, I hold him down.

This is an OLD picture, the twins were less than a year; Scouty doesn't even have his mane yet.
We still like to sleep together in a pile on Mommy's bed.

Me and Sylvester play a lot too. 
I have to keep fit and trim for my Lady Love, Miss Admiral Hestorb.
She has lots and lots of suitors, but I know she loves me best.
(Did you know her Mom fell and broke her wrist?  It's true!  Please go give her some good old-fashioned Kitty Luvvins.)

Some ManCats might disagree with me, 
But I say "Talk to the Fangs"!

Gosh, all this talk about Love makes me Bashful. 
NOT!
I'm an outgoing guy and I enjoy company...I'm part of the greeting committee whenever People come over.  I even like Sticky Little People.  For a few minutes, anyway.

Well, it's nap time so that's it for today! 
Admiral, are you up for a cuddle?

Happy Monday!

Tomorrow May Ling Meezes...

    Oh Ru-Paul/Rutabaga, This is a post that tested my Mancatly Rivalry.

    When I saw the photo of your poor wittle backside when you came to the Lounge, it made my eyes get a little leaky for you. I am sooooo happeez that you finded the Greatest Home Ever.

    But then I read what you wrote about MY Admiral, and I manned right up again.

    Yes, of course, the Admiral is up for a cuddle, but it ain't gonna be with you, Bud. MOL!

    I say you are a handsome kitty, as are all the others at your house. I do love your private room. Wish I could still swing a hammer, twist a screw, and swing a paint can/brush. Great place. Shows the love for the residents it does. My compliments to the Mom and Dad types.

    Another topping post with info on you guys. We like the 'I'm a lover not a fighter' line Rupert - next time one of us gets a bum bite we'll use that! But seriously, you are one smooth romantic mancat.

    Thanks for sharing all those things about you - they were fun to read! I love gray kitties. When I first got my own apartment, I searched for an all-gray kitty that I was going to name Mojito. But I ended up with Scarlett instead, and of course, the rest is history.

    Oh Rupert, I am in a deep swoon. Seeing that first pose of you all stretched out, reclining..a wave of warmth washed over me and it hasn't ebbed yet. Whew..and your tender words...I am distracted by your presence both physically and in my mind with its fevered pictures of embrace and snuggles.

    I am proud at how you mastered the comb over on your handsome hiney. But, seeing the scars simply show your lovercat ways and bravery.
    XOXOXO♥♥♥

    Hey Rupert :)
    You are a very beautiful mancat, and we think those scars complete you. Make love not war!
    Lola is rather disappointed that your heart belongs to the admiral, she very nearly fainted when she saw that picture of you looking like a teddy bear.
    I, personally, have a soft spot for kitty toes and yours are quite amazing.
    Love and hugs,

    You sure are an "in-your-face" kind of guy, Rupert -- especially in that first picture.

    I think you are very sleek and handsome despite any bald spots -- you don't really notice them anyway.

    Good luck with Miss Admiral!
