Farewell Friday

2008-05-22T21:58:00.004-04:00

Come visit me from now on at the Cats P.

I would like to dedicate my final post to my lovely Charmer Bonnie who crossed to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

The Woman took this picture a few months back right on our front porch. All three of us were out there with her and were enjoying the early Spring air and shower. The fresh sniffs of the wet ground and the daffodils poking their heads out of the ground. All of a sudden this amazing rainbow showed up right outside our window. (Even more amazing the Woman was able to capture it).

For a brief moment we all looked out the window and listened to the rain and stared at the beauty in front of our small corner of this planet. I know that so many of our friends are at the Bridge looking over us. I think this moment sums up my feelings on life- it is fleeting and beautiful but the memory never fades. I'll see you someday my Bonnie and while I never met you in life I'll know you immediately at the Bridge.

All of my Charmers are special to me (truly, you all have such amazing qualities) but Bonnie was one of the originals, in fact one of 2 who inspired me to start the Charmers. I will never forget her. Because of her my Woman discovered Celiac's Disease which was making her so unhealthy and miserable without knowing what was wrong. Bonnie's mom told her about it and for that we are all eternally grateful. Bonnie changed all of our lives.

Sadness

2008-05-22T12:14:00.004-04:00

Today I lost a very special friend, the well adored Bonnie. One of my most devoted Charmers has crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. I am beyond sad about this loss. Everyone please purr for her safe crossing over to the Rainbow Bridge. We had so much in common and I admired her spunk and spirit. Sleep well sweetest princess.

Thursday Thirteen

2008-05-22T01:31:00.002-04:00

Thirteen Things I will miss about blogging by myself...especially since this is my 400th post.

1. Personal space. Meezers do not respect space.
2. Private time with my Charmers. Ladies, expect more visits!
3. Less pictures of my handsome self. Who wants to see meezers? (Oh crap, Chey's going to beat me up now.)
4. My Man Cat friends will think I'm not manly enough to have kept my own blog. Especially Rocky.

Continued....Latte....Kaze

****Urgent Purrs needed for Bonnie***** She was not feeling well and has been rushed to the emergency vet. Please purr for my very special Charmer!!!

DKM Snuggle

2008-05-19T21:18:00.002-04:00

DKM totally surprised me and sent me a snuggle of my very own! I feel so special. She put some totally primo nip inside and I was quick to devour all of that. Now I have my own snuggle to lie on that covers my tuffet on the couch. The humans get a little annoyed at all of my fur on the couches so now they can't get mad and I'm even more comfortable!

Don't forget my new blog home as of next Monday.....The Cats P

Man Cat Monday

2008-05-18T21:26:00.003-04:00

This week we're going to transition over to our new blog The Cats P. This week we'll be doing dual posts and by next Monday I'll be seeing you over there. Its been an amazing solo run but its time to share. Mondays are MINE of course.

Talk about bad weekend. The woman freshly cleaned out the boxes so I went in to poo. Well I kind of had the stinky squirts. So she cleaned that out again and about 10 minutes later she was upstairs cleaning and smelled my squirts. She went sniffing around and found that I must have had them stuck in a hind paw because I had tracked poo EVERYWHERE. This was not a good time for this as my Awesome Man was in a cranky mood. He told her some mean things about me and I ended up on the back deck having my paw bathed while I was held down. Then the Woman had to go over to Gamma's house and get the giant carpet cleaner thing and then all of our carpets got all wet. Oh, and my AM is still cranky so really, it could have been a much better weekend.

High Five Friday

2008-05-16T08:30:00.002-04:00

Is there anything better than a good banana-nip-fest? Perhaps hiding in the sleeping room when the humans go to work. I really would much rather be behind the closed door (even with lack of food/water/litterbox) if it means I can get away from the meezer brats. I can only scare the poo out of Kaze a couple of times a day and I can't really get a good nap with her around.

Man Cat Monday

2008-05-11T22:29:00.002-04:00

Part of being so many is being so fierce. This means I have to practice really hard with my Awesome Man at my speedy fighting skills. He's really good at the Bite Game. He puts his hand on my head and I have to try and wriggle around to bite him. One of these days I'm going to win. Never mind its been 8 years I've been trying. Usually I can snag a tooth every now and then but generally I have to run after him and nip his heels on his way o the shower.

Fierce Friday

2008-05-08T22:34:00.001-04:00

Watch out Awesome Man, I'm gonna get you!!! Do you like my mouth splotch? Its like a beauty mark on the top of my mouth.

When I was a kitten

2008-05-07T21:21:00.002-04:00

As I've mentioned in the past, I came to live with my family when I was 6 months old. Therefore, how do we have 3 month old kitten pictures of me? Well my first Woman thought she'd be nice and mailed us these pictures of me to the Woman. Wasn't that nice of her? She was allergic to me so she had to find me a new home.

Did you know my Woman is also allergic to cats? She's allergic to pretty much everything so when the doctor told her she shouldn't let us sleep with her she just laughed in his face. She said she'd be much more miserable without us in bed. The Woman grew up in a house where her mom was allergic to cats conveniently while the Woman was a child. Never mind that before the Woman was born and after she wented to college her mom had cats.

The Woman complains that she doesn't have enough interesting pictures of me because I'm "lazy" or whatever. I respond to this with the above picture. I have thousands of different body parts and furrs, just make it interesting as that's her job! I have to say having white paws can be a little difficult at times- they've been known to get a bit dirty.

Man Cat Monday

2008-05-04T22:57:00.002-04:00

Shh...Man Cat sleeping. I have to recover from my frisky weekend. I can't believe its Monday already, it doesn't seem possible. My Awesome Man didn't let me rub on his legs while he was eating- what's up with that???

The friskies continue...

2008-05-01T21:55:00.001-04:00

The friskies have invaded me completely. The AM pulled out the catnip banana last night and I went wild. Totally wild. I'm liking this mid-life crisis. I wonder what mischief I'll get into this weekend.

May the Frisk Be with You.

2008-04-30T21:10:00.002-04:00

As you might all guess, I generally like to do two things in life: Sleep & Eat. Ever since my Empress sent me my birthday package I realized that at age 8 its time for me to either completely retire and sleep more (if that's possible) or go through a mid-life crisis.

I've chosen mid-life crisis. First up- exercise. Wand toys, chasing Kaze, biting my Tall Man, these are things I'm doing to keep up my speed and agility. Kaze's actually hiding because she's so tired, I've out toy hogged Latte, and my Tall Man's ankles are being nipped at again for the first time in years.

I'm not sure where all of this is taking me but I'm a young Man Cat and I'm going to prove it. I'm sick of being called "turkey". Sure I coo when I'm content but I am NOT a turkey.

Tummy Tuesday

2008-04-28T21:11:00.003-04:00

Here's a great example of how manly my tummy is. I've been really playful recently, must be Spring! I've even been keeping up with Kaze....well kind of.

Psst....there is a rumor that kitten pictures have been located. I mean tiny kitten pictures of this very Big Man Cat. Hmm...we'll see if they get leaked to the press.

Man Cat Monday

2008-04-27T22:17:00.003-04:00

See I'm still fierce and active. I just only get active when there is a reason to be active. Like this package from my very HOT Charmer Empress. Gosh she's a looker, she's my newest Charmer and is very welcome to the group with some wonderful company of other hot lady cats. Empress sent me a package for my birthday which was sweet because the Awesome Man completely forgot and my Woman....we all know how useful she is (NOT). So I got some great toys and a card and some of my favorite Temptations.

Six Word Meme

2008-04-24T21:46:00.001-04:00

Princess and Eric & Flynn tagged me for the six word meme. I'm HORRIBLE with memes these days so I figured I'd get better and man-up here.

Here are the rules:
1) Write your own six word memoir.
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
6) Have fun!!

Let annoyed sleeping man cats lie.

Questions from yesterday

2008-04-23T21:19:00.003-04:00

My Woman is lazy and therefore doesn't clean up. The little tupperware thing used to have fishy flakes in it. I don't want to even try to think about how long ago that was.

The plate used to have a plant on it that the Woman killed because she can't remember to water things.

The flag goes on the outside of our house for the 4th of July and other than that stays in this corner.

And the paper was a coupon Ann Taylor where my Woman likes to waste our green papers.

I chose to nap around the stuff because really there aren't that many better surfaces out on the porch.

Oh and today my Awesome Man turns 28. He hates big deals made so I'll leave it to the girl of the house to do that.

Ticked off Tuesday

2008-04-21T20:29:00.002-04:00

Stupid Awesome Man is all obsessed with his new bike the Woman got him for his birthday (which is Thursday). And he doesn't want me near it!! I guess he does have a point after what I did to his old bike when it was brand new. I may have chewed on the shifters and left big Chase bite marks on them as well as the handle bars. OK, so I made the whole thing look like swiss cheese but hey, he was ignoring me! I guess this might be the reason he's storing the bike in the dungeon so I can't get to it.

Man Cat Monday- I'm back!

2008-04-20T20:31:00.002-04:00

I'm back! Finally after a completely neglectful week I moved into a neglectful weekend. Finally today is Monday and the world is back to normal.

Do you want to know how horribly I was treated this past week? I'm not sure you do. First of all you all know that I was unable to visit any friends last week but then.....THEN!!! I was locked in the sleeping room for 12 hours. TWELVE HOURS!!!!! I'm sorry, how could the Awesome Man not see me? He checks every day usually. Those humans are completely lucky that I'm a good cat- a VERY good cat. I did not pee or poo anywhere in that room. I just waited patiently until he got home and then I left a STINKY poo in the litter box.

Please someone call the ASPCA!!!

(I will be visiting today!!)

Twosome Tuesday

2008-04-14T23:04:00.001-04:00

She caught me deeply sleeping otherwise I would have moved. But you'll notice I've only allowed her on my back end.

On the plus side Blogger for the first time in 2 months actually allowed us to upload more than one picture. Amazing. On the negative side, the Woman is selling her wares this week and thus will not be around to blog. However comments are much appreciated to make her DULL day at the trade show more interesting. She promises that next week blogging will be more normal since this show will be over.

Man Cat Monday

2008-04-13T21:51:00.002-04:00

Fresh air! I was thrilled for about 30 seconds and then I spent the rest of my weekend sleeping. Lots of nice naps. Oh, and I did snuggle with the Woman on Sunday morning- I even nuzzled in her neck and purred. But then my Awesome Man woke up so I went over to him for some front-hugs and tail-poof.

If I told you where the Woman went today

2008-04-11T17:51:00.003-04:00

If I told you where the Woman went today I'm not sure you'd believe me. She went on a TOUR of the VET's office???!! Who goes on a TOUR of that place??? She said her day hunting place might be doing some work for the VET's office so they had to go look at the building and the rooms and stuff. I can't believe she made it out alive to tell the story- you get lost in that place.

And then she talked to the two VET men for like an hour. What could you possibly have to say to one of those torture people???!! Further proof that the Woman is out of her little human mind. She found out that our favorite vet used to run restaurants. And I trust this man with my life? I mean, I know he saved Latte's life twice so I guess he must know what he's doing.

She'd better not try to bring me along for "fun". They know I'm a confirmed pooper so I don't think they want me around there. Still it just boggles my mind.......

Getting the weekend started early

2008-04-10T09:26:00.003-04:00

Its been a long week in our house and at 6am the computers from work called my Awesome Man and he had to get up and go into work 2 hours before usual. So we're all a little messed up and cranky today. I've decided the best thing for me to do is start the weekend early with the comics. I'm sure Get Fuzzy will cheer me up. See you all Monday.

I hear a lot of your humans think I'm handsome (of course). So here's a little eye candy for all of my Charmers and those humans who think I'm so handsome.

Man Cat Monday

2008-04-06T22:15:00.003-04:00

Do you see where I am???!! I'm on the back deck. That's right- Out of Doors! The AM decided that I was too furry to brush inside so they took me on the deck. I used to be able to fit through the rungs of the deck and I'm not really sure why I can't anymore. The Woman said it had something to do with my "not fitting in a speedo" thing that the VET said to me last time I was there.

But hey, if you happen to see a very large cloud of Chase fur floating by your house that wouldn't surprise me. I think its hovering somewhere over the mid-west right about now.

Woman: You totally forgot today was my "birthday". I hate you even more now. Snap's going to kick you tonight as its her actual birthday.

Intruder!

2008-04-03T21:36:00.002-04:00

Um....hello intruder cat. What exactly do you think you're doing in MY neighborhood? I see you out there all takin' charge but if I could get out there I'd show you who's really in charge of our street! I'm sick and tired of you hanging out under our front porch and taunting me by chasing squirrels.

As many of you guessed

2008-04-02T21:38:00.002-04:00

This is more of an example of my real feelings on Tuesday. Kaze decided she wanted to snuggle but I don't trust her. I never trust her. I kept my paw on her and flattened my ears back. Every now and then she tries to snuggle me and she always gets the same response- I don't think so!

Wordless Wednesday

2008-04-01T21:59:00.001-04:00

That's better! Anyone who believed me yesterday... please rethink. That picture lasted for about 30 seconds. As you all know, Latte is my snuggle friend.

Happy Happy!

2008-03-31T21:36:00.003-04:00

This is my idea of heaven. Snuggling with my favorite cat friend and wrapping my arm around her in a loving way. We'll just sleep like this for hours. The only thing that could make this better would be the Woman hugging us really hard for a really long time. Yup, these are the things that make me happy!

Man Cat Monday

2008-03-30T22:46:00.001-04:00

I'm trying EVERY angle with the Woman to get her back in front of the blogging computer- where she belongs. I've even taken to *gasp* snuggling with her and purring. Hey, I have to try everything I can. It seems that this week should be easier on her but I just don't buy it. I just can't trust that human. I do feel my niceness has been noticed though as I've been allowed in the snuggle room all night long without the meezers. Thats nice.

Long Ago...

2008-03-28T10:32:00.002-04:00

This used to be my kitten. I can't really understand why we ever needed to add Kaze to the fray. But as you can tell, after a week with my little Latte I was already taking care of him.

Old School

2008-03-27T11:12:00.004-04:00

Lets take a trip down memory lane as my Woman takes her job more seriously than she takes me. Even with threats of poop on her pillow. At least she's training someone to take over half of her duties today. So since my Empress so lovely demanded a photo of me (thank you!!) we shall go back to 2006 for this photo op.

2008-03-24T22:04:00.002-04:00

This little guy is always following me around and snuggling with me. He thinks he's tiny enough to be invisinible but he's not. He's actually pretty annoying. He's also getting a little full of himself- he ate my yak! I mean, how wrong is that????

Man Cat Monday

2008-03-23T21:53:00.002-04:00

As the Big Man Cat I get to investigate stuff first. This is a rubber band. (Fear not, the Woman supervised and took it away after this. ) I tried to eat this thing and of course the little wite rat came over and tried to take it for her own. She's so freaking snoopy and nosey. She thinks she has to be involved in everything. Anyhow, here you can see how much bigger I am than her. Hehe

Um???

2008-03-20T23:56:00.002-04:00

Now I know that you're probably thinking my ridiculous Woman put me up to this. You'd be wrong as the Awesome Man thought it would be funny to try to balance a pillow on my back. This however makes no sense as my back is NOT a table or a flat surface. He laughed while I glared at him. Actually I didn't care- he was touching me so I purred.

I'm not going to say I'm sorry about not visiting as much as I would like. If I said I was sorry I would never stop apologizing because it just never seems to get to where I would like. So it is what it is for the time being and I hope you all realize that I'm reading up on everyone but I just can't make it around like I used to.

Thursday Thirteen

2008-03-19T23:01:00.003-04:00

Thirteen Things I whispered to Latte yesterday about getting back at the Woman

1. To get revenge on the Woman you must do something totally out of the ordinary she can't possibly blame you.

2. Choose something really important to her to exact your revenge. When I was a kitten I chewed the AM's speaker and got in SERIOUS trouble. It was worth it as he was the NOT so Awesome Man then.

3. Give her blinky eyes and purr at her. That always works as she'll feel really guilty.

4. Yakk somewhere in her path. Especially a nice wet one.

5. Place poo about the house in areas like the dinning room and hallway.

6. Lie on her work clothes and really shed a lot.

7. Chew on wires at 3am. This one may get you kicked out of the snuggle room but if it does be sure to hide under the bed so she spends 15 minutes getting you out.

8. Act sick. But not too sick- you don't want to have to go to the VET, just sick enough so that guilt kicks in.

9. Leave the most rank poo. There is no way she can ignore you then.

10. Put the bitey on her ankle when she goes to take a shower. Make sure you run up really fast- bite- then run away.

11. Scream at the walls like they're crawling with bugs. This one serves two purposes- makes her move and hopefully wake up AND gets her scared of what she will find.

12. Put your poop hole on her pillow and drag it around a bit.

13. Pretend that you want to snuggle and dig around and around and around, circle, sniff, work really hard at it until Kaze leaves and then you leave too. Then there are no cats in her lap.

Anycats feel free to use these techniques as you see fit!

2008-03-17T22:06:00.002-04:00

Aren't my furs nice and shiny? The VET people even said so last week. I keep forgetting to tell everyone that the VET lady I saw about my ear problem had actually just been to a conference on feline ears. The guy who was teaching it actually told all of the VETs who were there that there is no point in cleaning out waxy ears. If a cat has waxy ears (like me) you should just let us be and not worry about cleaning them-its actually healthier that way. The Woman was sure happy to hear she didn't have to clean my ears and I am too. I hate those pointy cotton sticks. So those of you with waxy ears tell your humans to leave your ears alone.

Man Cat Monday

2008-03-16T22:51:00.003-04:00

I hear Latte's been saying that I don't think he's a Man Cat. Well he's certainly not a Big Man Cat, I think you can clearly see that here. The little guy is cute and tiny and I don't think he could be a Big Man Cat even if he tried. He squeaks instead of yowls (Hey, I may meew on my way to the VET but that's all out warfare- I try everything), he is so freaking fragile, and he likes the Woman. Real Man Cats do not like the Woman more than the Awesome Man. That's just crazy. And he likes to snuggle with Kaze. Plus there is only room for one Man Cat in this house and that would be yours truly.

Friends I'm so sorry I haven't commented much. The Woman kept promising "tomorrow" everyday last week. We are following everything, but commenting should resume hopefully this week.

Oh, Happy 10 years together Awesome Man and Woman. I'm happy to say I've lived with you for 8 of them.

Thanks but no

2008-03-13T21:19:00.003-04:00

Dear Woman,

I heard you on the phone. I heard you say "cat" "ear" "Chase" "Dr" "tomorrow at 11:40". These things together spell trouble. Yeah my ear is crooked and redish- what of it? No don't touch it!! Stop it, I don't want you looking in there!!!

Its certainly no reason to take me to the stabby place. I swear, if they try to steal my blood I'm saving my poop that I usually give them and pooping on you! And yes, you'd better make sure my Awesome Man is there or I'm going to be BAD. Hissy bad. Growly bad.

So yeah, my day: not going so well. I just know I'll have to have those horrible drop things in my ears and I hate that. They drip and itch and are yucky. Oh and Woman, if you'd clean my ears more often maybe this wouldn't happen? You know I have waxy ears. How about we make it a weekly thing instead of once a monthish?

Thank You,
Chase

***Revised Letter to Woman****

Dear Woman,

Did you not hear my pathetic yet manly mews in the car? Did I not tell you I was FINE?? I do thank you for making sure my Awesome Man was there for me. His presence did make me a bit happier. Now about this PTU thing: I'm not coming out, ever. You have to take the top off or good luck!

Did I not tell you I was FINE?! I told you I was fine and nothing was wrong. What did the VET lady say? That's right, she said I'm fine and nothing is wrong. But I did get gaggy pills and anitbiotics. Great....see what this got me??

And they told me I wouldn't fit into a Speedo!!??? If I knew what that was I'd be offended.

Thank you for returning me promptly to my PTU with KAZE'S PINK SNUGGLE inside. There were comments made. Many comments.

Chase

This is in fact George Washington's Camp at Valley Forge, PA. Wow, what a beautiful site! The Woman is now dead set on taking our horsie out there to go investigate. Talk about vishus deer......there is a herd there that lets you practically pet them!

What the....

2008-03-10T22:01:00.003-04:00

Woman, I know you're insane. I know you just defy the laws of reasonable humans but this goes to far. Do you realize that its ridiculously windy out there and POURING rain? Oh yes I see that the daffodils are poking there greens above the ground but I wouldn't venture out there to see them- they're green. There are no flowers yet. Just when I start to think she might have some merit I see her do something silly.

2008-03-09T21:08:00.002-04:00

We got out on the sun porch this weekend. It was POURING rain on Saturday with crazy crazy wind so it was really nice to sit out the front porch with the AM & the Woman. Of course she brought the flashy box to catch my handsomeness. I found this most pleasing so I allowed her to take pictures of me. I think she does have a talent for catching my handsome sides. But don't tell her I said that.

Here's looking at you...

2008-03-06T23:08:00.001-05:00

The Woman's useless and of course I suffer. At least I had her go dig out a handsome picture of me. Sigh...

Humans...odd animals

2008-03-05T21:13:00.002-05:00

The Woman was making diner last night and during her slicing of the avacado managed to slice her finger open. Thoughts of Derby's mom's finger flashed through her mind as she oozed blood and told the Awesome Man this was "a 100% EMERGENCY get off the phone!". Whimpering Woman than cried and applied pressure while the Awesome Man rolled his eyes (he was a life guard for years). Being the Woman, she freaked out and made the AM take her to the ER. In the hospital they've never been too (well the AM was actually born there 28 years ago).

They had no idea where the hospital was. They've lived in this town for 3 years. The AM grew up in this town. There really is no excuse for this....

So I know you all think I'm being insensitive to the Woman but you know what they did to her at the ER? Gave her some ointment and a band-aide. And a tetnus shot. Once she got past the front desk she was there for 10 minutes.

Hhahahaahahahahahhaaaaaa! The AM is so embarrassed about the experience he won't even tell anyone they had to go to the ER.

I'm not your average tabby as you can see. First of all, I have a white belly and 4 white paws. Secondly, I have more of a marbled coat than stripped though my tail and front legs have stripes. My furs have three colors on them- black, brown, and tan. This means that every single fur can be seen on every single bean color clothing. Plus I'm very "plush" and my fur is more medium than short length so you can see a single hair of mine from quite a distance. Remind the Woman to vacuum the couch arms if you're coming to visit or you'll be covered in my fur.

Do you know what my Awesome Man did to me? He kicked me in the head! Now he swears it was an accident but it was SO rude. I was just trying to rub on him and give him some love and he moved away and clocked me in the head! Well I showed him, if he doesn't want to take my love, I can just give it to the Woman. She will always let me rub on her and acts like its such a big deal. I should probably be a bit nicer to her in general.

Mine!!

2008-02-28T21:01:00.003-05:00

Don't try to take my toy away!! Its MINE!!!

I spent the night in the snuggle room last night for the first time in a really long time. I woke up in a nice sunbeam meezer-free this morning. They always get kicked out between 3-5am and I get to remain because I'm not disruptive. I mean, I'm not the biggest fan of the Woman but I know what its like to be crushed by two meezers, sometimes its hard to breath!

little Latte

2008-02-27T19:55:00.003-05:00

He's a tiny little guy but he's very secure in himself. He's so secure he thinks he "owns" me. Rubbing under my chin, licking my face, nudging me when he wants to eat my treats. Unfortunately he seems to always like to claim me when I'm trying to sleep. I mean, who likes to be "claimed"? Not Big Man cats.

I'm really sorry we aren't commenting on everyone's blogs like we usually do. We are reading and trying to catch up but the Woman's crazy busy work thing seems to only get worse. Great.

And the winner is.......

2008-02-25T21:38:00.003-05:00

Well most cats chose Catnip Green. The rainbow technique was also very popular. Unfortunately it was more "rodent red" so I decided against painting my claws. Plus, the Woman offered to paint them and I've seen her paint her own- its not pretty. Especially her right paw since she has to use her left paw to paint it. If I let her touch my paws the white would turn red and there's no telling where it would stop. No thank you!

Man Cat Monday

2008-02-24T21:12:00.002-05:00

A real Man Cat can wear claw polish. I'm just deciding if this is my best color. What color do you think would be best?

A. Rodent Red
B. Temptation Tan
C. Catnip Green

Look out for some really active Man Cat shots coming this Leap Week. I was VERY active this weekend!

Don't torment me

2008-02-21T20:29:00.000-05:00

What? You've called me over here, made me get up, walk in your direction, and look you in the face. That's a lot of energy to waste so it had better be good. I see no treats, no nip, nothing worthy of my attention. Next time you call me over I'm not even waking up.

The Cookie

2008-02-20T21:04:00.003-05:00

So the Awesome Man was massaging the Woman (why I'm not sure, something about her HAM string being tight). I came upon the table and found a cookie in a bowl. A bowl that once had ice cream in it. The cookie appeared discarded and smelled rather tasty. So I went to take a nibble. And the Awesome Man yelled at me! He said it was his cookie and he was all like "hey, that's MY cookie!". Well excuse me for just trying to finish something that appeared discarded.

Did you see the lunar eclipse??!! It was so cool!!!

Yes that yak stain is there to make you work harder. When you're done with that one you'll find another on the base of the stairs. It is fun to watch you clean. Hahaha!!! I've been leaving you nice and watery brown spots recently to point out that it wouldn't hurt you to clean the WHOLE rug.

NASCAR got a run for the money with Sammy Meezer behind the wheel. I was lucky enough to be his Crew Chief for the fast paced race! I think it was going to be pretty hard to catch the 18 car but Sammy did an incredible job.

And in the end, my Awesome Man was the real winner as a die hard Ryan Newman fan. Watching the 12 car finish like that made our house very happy. Its been over 2 years since he's had a win so this is just great!!!

Daytona 500!

2008-02-16T22:43:00.004-05:00

I'm all set for the race and the Skybox over at the M-Cat's club. My Woman decided to torture me and put a collar on me. The AM says it was his idea... I don't believe him. Anyhow, I'm a Tony Stewart kind of cat- we have a lot in common really. My Awesome Man likes Ryan Newman and my Woman likes Jeff Gordon. We'll be watching the race in our house. The rest of our family does not appreciate NASCAR but we love it, hours on the couch with our beans every weekend. Anyhow, aren't I quite dashing? I've removed it once, we'll see how long it lasts. She said at least Sundays I have to wear it.

Two things

2008-02-14T21:54:00.002-05:00

Thing 1- I had buffalo last night. Yes, like the giant vishus deer like creature. It was gooooood. Like, really good. Yum!

Thing 2- I am going to put the bitey on someone BIG TIME. Remember my woofie Zu Zu? We used to live together but she got really attached to my grandparents and ended up living with them. Anyhow, someone is supposed to be walking her and feeding her right now since her humans are away. My grandparent's neighbor called our house and asked who was taking care of her because she had been outside all afternoon and the door was left wide open. It had been hours she was outside. The AM & W went over after dinner to see our woofie who had NO water, had not eaten, and had not had her walk all day long! She was sure glad to see them!! They left a note to the "care takers" that said not to worry about taking care of her, they were taking over. BAD people. I mean, leaving her out and alone?? She would have been out at 9pm if the neighbor lady who called didn't let her in. Grrrrrr!!!!! They may even bring her back to our house for a visit which I would love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2008-02-12T20:05:00.002-05:00

(OK all of you dirty minds, I'll tell you that's a toy there. Latte just thinks its fun to rub on me and shove his hind end in my face.)

Tabby Tuesday

2008-02-11T19:17:00.000-05:00

You might recognize this pink mouse as one of Latte's special toys. Its true, the little guy really loves pink mice but I also decided I would like to play with this mouse so I nibbled on it. And then it repeated on me...twice. That never stops me though I kept on tossing it in the air and batting it around. It is FREEZING at our house so if you happen to see any of my siblings posting unusual photos....keep that in mind.

Man Cat Monday

2008-02-10T20:14:00.000-05:00

I'm getting ready for Valentine's Day. OK, so the Woman forced this collar on me. I've had this since I was a kitten but I could always remove it. Not so much anymore....it was on for several hours. Stupid Woman. My name is on the other side as is my old phone number.

Why would I want to move exactly?

2008-02-07T21:25:00.000-05:00

The Woman keeps calling me lazy. Well that's just plain rude if you ask me. Sure I like to just sleep on this pillow but who wouldn't? Its soft and wide for those of us with the ample..um...sleeping-coil. I have a rather large sleeping-coil so this pillow works quite well. Plus its protected and has a great vantage point.

I'm starting to look a bit like Tripper

2008-02-07T08:53:00.000-05:00

While I was thrilled to have Gamma brushing me last week (so thrilled I purred for her) she was a bit over zealous on the back meets tail region and the furminator (being a bit blade-like) stole a bit more of my furs than it should have. Now I don't have a bald spot but I have some thin areas. I hope my Charmers don't think less of me. It will grow back, I promise!!! Its hard being a middle aged cat sometimes.

Poor Awesome Man

2008-02-06T07:47:00.000-05:00

My Awesome Man rarely gets sick. Maybe a cold here or there but this time he's passed out on the couch with a fever. He doesn't even have enough energy to watch the picture box. I've been very busy lying on him and keeping his spirits up. Tomorrow is more of the same as the doctor told him he has to stay home for another day. He doesn't really do home on the couch very well.

Tabby Tummy Tuesday

2008-02-05T08:17:00.000-05:00

I am fierce!!! Gosh I'm happy my Awesome Man is home. Its so much more relaxing just being the Man Cat and not the all around Man of the house. I had to bath Latte and play with Kaze so I didn't get much rest. Things are much better when others can brush the little guy and play with Kaze.

Man Cat Monday

2008-02-03T22:59:00.000-05:00

Dudes. The Awesome Man (and Woman) went to visit my old stomping grounds up in Massachusetts and didn't bring me. They even drove past my old VET. So I was left at home with the rats for way too long. At least the Woman's mother came over and furminated me. That was nice. What wasn't nice was being stuck with two rats who hadn't been played with for a week. They were very very annoying. I have to go though because I need my Awesome Man time.

Wordless Wednesday

2008-01-30T09:46:00.000-05:00

Oh no, I don't think so

2008-01-29T09:14:00.000-05:00

Alright, uncool. I know I've been a little annoying to you Awesome Man but you don't have to take the long sticks and go away. I thought you were done with that when we moved away from Massachusetts. I thought this box was gone- lost in a move over the past 4 years. I have to say though, I'm completely cool with the Woman breaking something or hitting some sort of pine tree or something. I mean, as long as the Awesome Man comes back in one piece I'm pretty sure I could get rid of Kaze and maybe even Latte and have my Awesome Man to myself.

Um...Chase? You do realize that you snuggled with me and purred all night long, right? - The Woman.

Pshaw. I thought you were the Awesome Man.

On my side of the bed? -The Woman

Man Cat Monday

2008-01-28T00:00:00.000-05:00

Stupid white rat thinks she is snuggling with me. Ha! I was just comfortable enough to not mind her little head on my back for a bit. Don't worry, it didn't last long before I left.

The Awesome Man said he's not happy with me. He thinks I'm "kind of mean" and wishes I would be nicer to Kaze and Latte. Well, specifically Latte. I mean, I don't really like to be snuggled on these days so whenever another cat gets in my space I just leave. This hurts little Latte's feelings. I'm not mean though, I'm just particular.

Oh, I weigh 13 lbs. Latte weighs 8 lbs. and Kaze weighs 8.5 lbs. But its not really a matter of weight as I'm a Big Man Cat, Latte is tiny and Kaze is LLLOOOOOONNNG and tall.

The Bigger the Better

2008-01-25T10:02:00.000-05:00

I love my little Latte. Isn't he cute? He's so tiny! No wonder the humans call him Sugar Bear. He's really very bite-sized. Hehe! (See his blog today for more clarification).

I wish I had something interesting going on but I really just sleep on the couch arm next to my Awesome Man. I have to say I approve of the Woman lately. She's actually been keeping up with at least helping us read our friends blogs. We're trying to catch up on commenting too. She has a new employee starting tomorrow so it might be hard.

Bite Game!

2008-01-24T08:02:00.000-05:00

And Kaze wonders why I'm so fierce. My Awesome Man trained me from kittenhood to be a fierce bite-game fighter. How do you think I'm doing?

Runner up Best Fursibling Prizes

2008-01-22T09:36:00.000-05:00

I got a WONDERFUL package for being the runner-up for best Fur-brother. Being a good fur-brother I let my siblings have their pick of the bounty while I chose my favorite- a little brown fur puff. It is so fun! Kaze took the krinkle fish and I haven't seen her that happy with a toy in a long time. So while I enjoyed all of the great toys I also enjoyed having a break from Kaze.

I don't really care that the Woman isn't around much except I'm thinking of pooing in her shoe to get her to help me blog more. I mean really....I can only be so patient.

Man Cat Monday in Memory of Caesar

2008-01-21T00:00:00.000-05:00

I am very very sad about Caesar crossing to the Rainbow Bridge. Please go visit Prinnie and his Mom. In honor of his wonderful spirit I dedicate my Man Cat Monday post to him.

What an exhausting weekend. The Awesome Man was pretty much miserable since his servers (which I think he loves almost as much as me and certainly more that the Woman) almost melted into pools of metal. He happened to go in to the office to find them overheating and the AC off. This means a miserable Awesome Man. So I tried to be patient with him but eventually I had to head-butt him and let him know I wanted attention. And bacon. I mean really though, how dare he eat bacon and not give me some??

Hahaha! Everyone is pitching in!

2008-01-17T20:26:00.000-05:00

Everyone is pitching in to make this a hard week on the Woman. Even Snap threw in a hoof or two and rolled herself in mud a few times. That means its baked-on-caked-on-mud-on-fur. Its like glue I hear. Dusty glue. So since the Woman hasn't seen Snap in a week (due to her health and work) Snap gets back at her by rolling in the mud. I like the way that equine thinks!

My Awesome Man's having a rough week too because he's worried about the Woman and since he works with the Woman they have the same hard stuff going on together. In fact the Awesome Man was more affected by it before the dumb Woman said she'd take over someone's job not knowing a darned thing about it or the software they use. So now she has to learn. Under deadline. And this is not easy software- this is 3-D animation and modeling.

I'm sorry but Latte stinks like the VET and I do not want him snuggling with me or rubbing on me. I just don't trust that smell. Thanks for understanding that we can't really visit too much right now. Aside from Latte's "thing" (its 8pm and still no word from the vet) the Woman is pretty sick and has to go to the human-vet tomorrow. So things are a bit annoying in my house right now.

Man Cat Monday

2008-01-14T18:25:00.000-05:00

I'm very worried about my Latte. He's not acting normal and he's going to the VET's tomorrow. I'm trying to care for him but I don't know what to do. I mean, he doesn't even want to eat stinky goodness!

Stupid Awesome Man (his words!)

2008-01-11T09:12:00.000-05:00

So yeah....when the Woman was changing to go to the barn I went into the sleeping room. We are generally locked out of the sleeping room during the day because Kaze will go in there and knock the trashcan over and make a mess. So anyway, I went in the room when the Woman was in there. When she was done she called us all over but I went under the bed. Whatever, right? So she closed me inside and went down and told my Awesome Man that I was closed in up there and he should let me out "in a few minutes". Well, "a few minutes" ended up being THREE HOURS!!!!!! I'm talking when the Woman got home and wondered where I was. I had been banging on the door trying to get out. Luckily SHE heard me. Stupid Awesome Man. I huffed at him and gave him dirty looks. I'm still huffing and punishing him for this. I'm forgiving but this is just not cool.

Hehehe...I just left the STINKIEST poo in revenge. Our litterbox is in the kitchen.

Thursday Thirteen #56 (4)
Thirteen of my Favorite Things

1. Charmers. My Charmers are my most precious lady cats. I cherish them and try to do right by them.

2. My Awesome Man. He's so fun to play with and snuggle with and his touch is just magical.

3. The Chase tuffet on the couch next to my Awesome Man. It is very nice and fits me very well.

4. NIP!!! I like all sorts of nip but I love my nip banan best.

5. Treats- mostly Temptations. I like stinky goodness too. Food is good.

6. Turkey!!! I'll do a dance for turkey. I'll look really cute and its hard to turn me down.

7. My moving target (aka Kaze). She keeps me very active and spry. I'm much faster than she is and my fur is MUCH thicker.

8. The corner scratching post in the sleeping room. I can spend the whole night there and not be bothered by distractions.

9. The squirrel watching table in the bathroom. Every morning I sit up there and watch those little rats torment me.

10. I like the stroller a lot. The fresh air and comfy pad are very nice. I miss strollering in the cold weather.

11. I LOVE my woofie friends. I used to live with a woofie and they give me tail poof. I just love playing the bite game with them.

12. Sink sleeping. Nothing like a good nap in a bathroom sink.

13. Boxes. Especially if they smell like nip!!

(Notice I did not mention the Woman. I'm just pointing that out.)

Things are a bit uncomfortable in Chase-town right about now. I haven't been able to leave a stinky pile in the litterbox all day yesterday. The Woman started to worry about me after I kept going in and out of the box. Well actually the Awesome Man yelled at me for my over use of the box while the Woman got concerned. I have to admit she's MUCH more in tune with my health. So yeah I got that crappy Cat-laz all over my handsome furs and it make my whiskers stick to my cheek! I hate that stuff. Hopefully things will move along normally soon. Otherwise I hear things like pumpkin and *gasp* enema. I'm NOT thinking about that.

300th Post on Man Cat Monday

You know what's fun? Banging on the closet door when the humans are sleeping. This will cause your Woman to bolt out of bed at 4am thinking you're locked in there and your Man to call your name in annoyance and roll over. Its fun. Hehe.

2008-01-04T09:07:00.000-05:00

The one person on the planet who can reduce me to tail poof and purrs. Ah.....front hug with a backwards head bend. Kittens, do NOT try this at home! Its a very advanced movement practiced for years and years.

Thursday Thirteen #55 (3)

2008-01-02T21:28:00.000-05:00

Thirteen Things that interfered with my naps this week.

1. That ridiculous Animal that acts like a rug-sucking monster. I hate these things.

2. The Woman poking me. Yes she finds it entertaining. I do not find it amusing.

3. Kaze & Latte fighting over the Woman. They fail to see that in the grand scheme of things I can get her affection whenever I want. They're so loud when they are playing/fighting.

4. My Awesome Man obsessing about about ridiculous health issues that are invisinible. And the Woman getting tired of the questions.

5. Kaze farting. Its that bad.

6. The loveseat moved and I had to turn my head to see what was going on. I'm not sure I like it as a napping spot.

7. The Woman grabbing me and the meezers in one armful and tossing us in the cat room so they could bring the tree outside.

8. The new Drinkwell fountain making its dribbling noises. I do like it though- very fresh water.

9. The Woman taking one of my coats. She piles them up so I can nap on them but then steals them when she wants to go outside in the cold.

10. Fireworks on New Years sent me behind the bathroom door. They also kept me up for a while.

11. Temptations! We've been getting a lot of them which I am not complaining about. I'd gladly cut a nap early for some treats.

12. A clean litter box. I like to leave a fresh stinky pile in the pristine litterbox. I can hear the woman banging on the boxes and come running.

13. The cat free zone has been emitting loud offensive noises as the Awesome Man plays some of his new games. That room BOOMS. Truly loud.
