Bathus Interruptus

Kitties!

Felix here.

Mommy (that intrusive wench) started taking photos while I was grooming.

A behavior to which I took exception...

...thusly.

Happy Wednesday!

Toe-Tidying Tuesday

Kitties!

The Baby here.

I'm getting ready for our weekend* on some clean warm towels in the laundry room.

I want to nap and rest up, but something just doesn't seem quite right.

hmmmmm.

What could it be?

AHHHH!  That's the ticket toe-kit!

**gnawdiddy gnaw gnaw gnaw**

Oh my, now I'm everso sleepy...all that washing wore me out.

Fluffaluffagus

Kitties!

We have a Small Mystery:

To whom does did this fluffy fur belong?

The Baby?

Sweet Pea? 

A Mojave Yeti?

It is Miss Pea's splendid floof!

Daddy displayed mad grooming skillz with the Furminator Sunday morning.  Many, many, kittehs fell victim to his efforts and were combed within an inch of their lives before he ran the vacuum cleaner...something about double handling which we fail to understand...you should have seen the pile that came off of Salem!  A whole 'nother cat.

Anyhoo, if you guessed correctly you get a prize: 

You may give The Pea a smooch, anywhere you wish!

She loves smoochies.

Happy Monday!

Yearly Appearance

Kitties!

Scouty here.

Since the HOTS started, all of us here at The Lounge have been shedding like banshees* according to Mommy, and she's been a Woman Possessed, pinning us down with her grabby hands and brandishing The Evil Implements of Fur Removal.

With, of course, the exception of me.  Because, No Touching.

So every year I construct a little Catlick (cat + cowlick) on my back from the extra fur.

It drives Mommy batcrap crazy--she's dying to snip it off.

(For your information, batcrap crazy is worse than crazypants!)

Naturally this will NEVER EVER happen.  I mean, really, I don't generally even let her get close enough to get decent pictures...like today.

I'll remove the latest catlick in my own good time--the longer I sport it the batcrappier Mommy gets--and that's a good thing, right?

Happy Tuesday!

A Purrfect Caturday

Kitties!

Tiny Johnson is a regular Cat Magnet.

Rupert loves to nip and pester him into playing.

CC simply loves him.

And all three enjoy spending time together:

(Please ignore the aluminum pan, it was a windy day and it blew away from the grill.  It was TOTAL bonus, though--there were chicken and steak drippings in it!)

There's nothing quite as nice as a brofur.

Happy Caturday!

Fragrant Friday

Kitties!

The Baby here.

Yesterday Mommy got a bug up her butt the urge to cook!  When the cool weather arrives she fires up every available burner and both ovens on at least one of her days off and cooks and bakes and sautes and simmers her fool head off.

So, after she concocted a  huge VAT of soup, baked bread, roasted squash and garlic bulbs, and made quiche the house was pretty fragrant.  Daddy called Mommy the Stinky French Chef.  (I'm fairly sure it was a compliment--ed.)

Needless to say some of the stink settled on my furs.

hmmmmmm...I actually don't taste bad at all; in fact Mommy's cooking tastes pretty darn good!

And I think I just found a chicken soup spot--must investigate...

*licketty lik lik lik*

Oh yeah.  Chicken for sure!

Happy Friday!

Partial Noodity

Kitties!

Kona here.

If I look a bit discombobulated in this photo, well, it's because I am.

Friday morning, with no warning whatsoever (so I could HIDE) I was stuffed placed gently into a carrier and hauled off to the vet's office for a GROOMING, for a variety of reasons:

  I'm shedding my summer coat

I loathe being brushed

I BITE

I had tons of mats which appeared overnight

I'm too arthritic to attend to the mats myself

I bite HARD

My unbelievably long clicking toenails need to be professionally trimmed, because, you guessed it, I BITE.

Nothing wrong with the ol' jaws on this ladycat!

Unfortunately the groomer lady scared me witless wore chain mail which meant I forgot to give her a big juicy chomp, so she shaved my mats, gave me a bath-n-blow dry, a comb out, AND trimmed my talons without any loss of blood.

I feel a lot better now though...I may have to admit the whole ordeal wasn't all THAT bad.

NOT.

 Happy Caturday!

Tuesday Tidying

Kitties!

CC here.

It's Tuesday, which means TWO things! 

1)  Mommy is home so I gotta get spruced up...she says I'm SUCH a handsome boy and I don't want to disappoint.

2)  I get to announce the winners of the drawing from those of you who purchased our initial offering of CATIO CHIPS! 

Are you ready?

Are you SURE you're ready????

Because Daddy is a unclear on the concept of a "contest"and all about fairness terrible businessman he decided that everybody won!

He will be mailing out wild-n-crazy tie-dyed tea towels this week to all of you who bought Chips.

Of course, it's us furkids who really scored, 'cos WE get to eat the CATIO CHIPS and all the peeps get is a lousy set of linens...

*heh heh heh*

Uh oh...I think I missed a spot.

That's better.

Gotta stay Handsome, you know.

Thanks to everyone who sampled our wares...Daddy processed another thirty pounds of chicken this past weekend so we have plenty on hand if you have already gobbled daintily consumed your first order...or if you haven't ordered yet there's enough to fill you up!

Happy Tuesday!

Impostors?

Kitties!

Rupert here.

There were some weird goings-on around here Wednesday.  Mommy disappeared out the door with some of my furblings, and a little while later returned with what appeared to be totally different kittehs!

They looked different.

They smelled different.

I decided to introduce myself--it never hurts to be friendly to newbies--but upon closer inspection I got the surprise of my life: 

I already knew this kitty!  

It was my sisfur Sweet Pea.

*big sigh of relief*

Thank Cod the only bath I got was on my forehead.

Happy Friday!

Catlicks

Kitties!

Scouty here.

Springtime shedding season is upon us here at the Lounge, and as usual I'm starting to sport a fine selection of Catlicks on my spine (where I can't reach).

Daddy was talking some smack about capturing me with a net and hauling me off to the vet's office where they could gas me into submission and groom me.  Mommy just about died laughing at the idea and said she couldn't wait to watch him bag me; comparisons to greased pigs were made...but...apparently Daddy expects her to assist him!

As if that's gonna help.

Because we all know it's not happening.

Ever.

Happy Caturday!

"The Bath", a Short Film

Kitties!  

Sweet Pea (and Rupert) here.

I was having a nice solo snooze in my garden window box when Rupert barged in to snuggle.  Now, I don't mind cuddling with him, he's warm--but he IS a Stinky Boycat--so first I gave him a little wash to remove his funk and tidied his eyebrows.  Then we settled in and had a nice nap together, all afternoon!  Sometimes a washing session doesn't lead to biteys and bad feelings.  Not often, but occasionally.

(Don't worry if you can't make out what Mommy was saying...it's just her usual drivel.)

Here's to a peaceful, loving week!  With clean eyebrows.

Happy Monday!

Freshening Up

Kitties!

CC here.

 I adore all my brofurs and sissers (although The Baby kinda skeers me a wee tad), but I have to admit that Johnny is my Best Pal.  He was allowed into the kitten room when Scouty and I were being (half successfully--ed) tamed and it was love at first sight for all of us.  John loves kittens and we thought cozying up to his big furry frame was the ultimate snuggling experience.  We still do!

Sometimes John gets a little frustrated because we shadow him 24/7 love him so much...Daddy calls me and Scouty his satellites.

But most of the time he's amiable--especially if a head-wash is involved.

Oops...excuse me, I have an itch.

John:  Please don't stop!

CC:  No worries Johnny, I'll always be ready to groom you.  I love you.

John:  I love you too, little buddy.

Happy Friday!

Tongue Trials

Kitties!

Tiny J here.

Mommy ordered me us her and Daddy two new feather pillows for the sofa and some fun fabric to make pillowcases for them.  Everything was delivered so today she ran them up on her sewing machine and then *I* got to give them the initial Test Drive!

They seem nice and cushy...

...but you can never be sure. 

 Further mileage was required, so I took 'em out for a grueling trial on the dangerous and intimidating washboard road course.

I rounded the shoulders...

cruised onto the back stretch...

and into the curves...full tongue ahead!

The verdict?

These pillows are definitely roadworthy, and ready to ride into the Land of Nod.

Nitey nite...

Happy Wednesday!
