The Cookie

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!!!

Bite Game!

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?

Chase Love

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.

Puuuuur!

Man Cat Monday

Well I have to say the Awesome Man isn't so awesome when he's home for 4 days in a row. You'd think that means I would get to spend lots of time with my favorite person but no, he has "projects" to do. He didn't even come downstairs for Footday! Usually he spends all of Footday in front of the big flashy box thing where the men in tights dance with each other. Instead he was installing a new line for the upstairs flashy box thing. Plus he caulked the outside of the house. And he installed a new heat box on the front porch. AND he put together a new rug-sucking-monster. Which- and I'm not even kidding- sucked the rug out of the dining room! What a busy 4 days. Me? Well I nibbled on flowers, yakked, had some chich-hen, yakked, more flowers, more yakking. Oh yeah, and the Woman got a rug cleaning rug-sucking-monster. Its a little one so she followed it around and cleaned up some of my old yak spots. I'm actually pretty happy the beans are going back to work today!

Congrats Awesome Man!!

Everyone please join me in cheering for my Awesome Man. He just got (back) into school! He's going to Drexel University in Philadelphia!!! I don't think I've ever talked about the Awesome Man's education before.

The AM went to the University of Massachusetts for a year and a half for Computer Engineering. He did really well and someone hired him out of school so he took a leave of abscence. Well he never went back and kept on working. He financially (and emotionally) suported the Woman through her school at UMass. He never loved school and now he's a partner in a company.

FINALLY the Woman and the AM's father convinced him to finish his degree. So now he's going to go to Drexel's Online program (even though we live 10 miles from campus...). He applied (well the Woman did it) and found out 2 days later! He's going to start in January!

I am so so so so so so proud of my AM for going back to school after 9 years off. I'm going to help him with school work and stuff.

Full of himself...

So as I'm sure you've heard that Latte is a finalist in Catster's Contest in the Playful category. He's all happy and puffed up and screaming his meezes that "he's awesome". Please....but I love the little rat so I can put up with it...for now. I'd say it should be me and not him BUT....we all know how inactive I am.

My poor Awesome Man is doing poorly. Nothing specifically wrong with him but he's just really tired and cranky and dizzy and stuff. I'm the only one he's being nice to (but he thinks he's being nice to everyone). I've been purring for Mr. Tasty Face as I'm sure many of you are too. Sometimes we don't give the men in our lives much credit (I know I do, but some of you are mama's cats and that's cool too). Lets just give all of humans a purr and be Thankful for them since next week is the US Thanksgiving.

IDYA #3 Humiliate your Human

I could not for the life of me get close enough to the Woman to put stuff on her, she's too flighty right now. The Awesome Man laughed at me too. So while this is not a recent picture, this is in fact the Awesome Man as a little boy. He is dressed as Gizmo the Gremlin. The Woman calls Kaze a Gremlin but the AM was cuter, I think. Lets all hear an awwww......

You know what is funny about this picture? The house he is standing in front of is right behind our house now. The properties touch! So he grew up so close to where we live now, isn't that cool?


(Miss Piggy is his big sister)

Man Cat Monday

As a Man Cat it is my duty to inspect everything that the Awesome Man does. Sometiems he does something interesting enough that makes me stand up and check it out. Here is is making Temptation-Bird. Again, I don't know why you'd chase a Temptation on a string when you could just look cute and get them.

Bite-Game

You've probably heard me refer to the Bite-Game before. It starts when the Awesome Man comes over and starts tap-tap-tapping on my head with his flat hand. This gets me to put my ears back while I focus on the attack. He keeps on tapping until I'm ready to grab him and he pulls away really fast. This is me trying to grab him as he pulls away. This is only the start of the Bite-Game, bunnykicking and kitty situps are the other parts. Also, when he thinks we're done we're not. I always run after him and bite his ankles. Hehe. Oh, and there is usually tail-poof.

Poor Awesome Man

My poor AM had a baaaad night. You can read all about it from either Kaze or Latte but you know their points of views are always skewed. Basically the AM got out of bed and was having a bad panick attack and he was freaking out in the hall. I trusted the Woman to take care of him because she's good at taking care of us all when we're sick. Eventually when he was not shaking so much I went over and rubbed on him to tell him it would be OK. He appreciated my love and then I went away when he went back to bed. I'm worried about the AM but he's a big boy, nothing I can do to save him. There is no point in fraking out like Kaze is.

Ahh....the Awesome Man

I like to go outside but I don't love to be in a harness. Usually they let me just walk out on the deck without a harness but they figured maybe I'd like to go a big further. It was nice to have some nice outside time with the Awesome Man. I love that man, he gives the best pets and scritches. Ah.....the Awesome Man is the best human in the world.

When I think of the Awesome Man....

First I think of a donut. A nice fresh donut that is sweet and soft and warm and tasty looking.


Then I think of a bite taken out of it. Mostly because the Awesome Man doesn't let donuts hang around for long but also because I like to chomp on his calves when he's going to take a shower.


Yup.

The Awesome Man's attachment

This seems to be attached to the Awesome Man at all times. No one is allowed to touch it, even me. He keeps it high away from us cats and even the Woman. He lets her hold it sometimes but usually he puts it in a "safe place". The Awesome Man is a bit OCD, especially about his electronic devices. When I think of the Awesome Man this would be one of his main features: his love of electronics.

Today the Awesome Man and the Woman are celebrating their 3 year anniversary. They've been together for 9 years but married for 3. They are seeing mummies in Philadelphia. They are seeing the King Tut exhibit and taking half a day off of work. Then they are going to Ruth's Chris Steak House. I told them they'd better bring me back some steak!!

Is the Awesome Man trying to swat me like a fly?

He was building a new TV stand for the living room and of course I had to help. I had to test the cardboard to make sure it was strong enough! Just when I was getting cozy the Awesome Man picked up the first piece and pretended he was going to squish me! Kaze almosted peed herself in fear. The Woman was laughing. I was scared for a second but then I remembered something. He's the Awesome Man...he would never hurt me.

Tail Poof

I've often talked about my love for the Awesome Man. Well I have a special thing that I do when I'm all excited to see him and feeling very purry towards him. The base of my tail stands on end, kind of like if you get scared, but I only do it when I'm happy and its only the bottom of my tail. This is my special thing that I do ONLY for the Awesome Man.



Close up:


That is the sign of True Love.

Here is what I think of the Woman

Here I am hanging out with the Awesome Man. He was reading the paper so I wanted to sit next to him. I felt it was also a nice opportunity to place my tail (and assorted back end parts) right where the woman always sits. And yes, my entire tail is on the couch, even the low low part. Hehehe......It was nice of her to take this picture and not get too mad at me. As Jeter would say...I'm still laffin' & laffin'.

Tabby Tuesday

It is so good to be back. I had to take charge of the whole house while the Awesome Man wasn't around. The Woman was gone too, so I also had to oversee her duties as well. I also had to properly welcome the People home so I've been sitting on the couch right next to the Woman showing her that I like when she's here (she knows where the treats live).

I was very lucky that Bonnie came over to snuggle with me a lot so I wasn't too cranky just being with the idiots cats (Latte & Kaze). I have a special Valentine I'll be posting tomorrow to all of my Charmers. I missed all of you ladies quite a ton!!!

Ah...they're finally home.

I'm sitting over the Woman's shoulder supervising the line to blog. I've been patient because Kaze demanded to go first so she could tell Mao she was home right away. Things are fine here, nothing really exciting happened which is how I like it. Bonnie teleported over to keep me company quite a bit and that was wonderful. Grandma fed us which was cool and she also pet us and came over twice a day.

So I'm back!! Lets all party Charmers!!! Wooohooo!! Alright, time to go bug the Awesome Man to see what he brought me. He smells like another Big Man Cat and that is soooo uncool.

Tabby Tuesday

I'm going to miss the Awesome Man. The red boxes are out, they packed, and the cat carrier is nowhere to be seen. See, I like to travel with them so I know its bad when the carrier isn't around. He said they will be gone from Wednesday to Monday and we won't be able to blog or attend the Valentine's Day party. I'll check in tomorrow morning but then I won't be back until next Tuesday. I'm going to miss all of my friends and especially my Charmers!

Yet another example of why I'm King of the House

The Awesome Man likes to yell at cats when we do something we're not supposed to do (according to him). He acts all surprised and says things like "L-L-ATTE!! Gi-GiT-GIT DOWN! Sigh." Notice how I used the main culprit for getting on things- Latte. If the Awesome Man gets annoyed with me he simply says "Chase." in his special tone and I just start to purr and poof my tail and then he can't be mad. He lets me do whatever I want. I mean, last night, I took up the back half of his side of the couch and he didn't even say anything at all. If that had been Kaze, she would have been gone in the amount of time it takes me to twitch my tail. So yeah, I can do whatever I want since I've got the Awesome Man on my side. He didn't even say anything about me stealing the other cat's stinky goodness.
