One Eye on the Future

Meowlo Peeps!! First, a warning: The following blog post contains images that may not be appropriate for kittens.  There was a 'nip party recently. Nearly everyone was there. I sent MK in to take notes and incriminating pictures because I thought it was time for a "true crime" blog entry. As with most crime, things start out simply, innocently. A few curious cats see something and they investigate. Then THIS starts to happen: "We'll just TRY it ... that won't hurt, will it? We can stop anytime we want." Oh yeah? Sadly, this is a myth. As MK snapped more evidence with the flashy-thing, events started to get a little out of paw.  Tempers began to fray over "stash" ownership. Morticia: "Why, you little ...!" Nutmeg: "You wanna piece of me? Well ... DO YA?" "HA HA! Victory ... is ... wow ... why is my paw green?" It got progressively worse. (I told you this was only for the strong of stomac

Happy Thursday peeps!! It's such a beautiful day here today - MK says spring is here! She's very excited. She's been very jealous of us being able to sunbathe whenever we want and she can't because, sometimes, it's sunny but not warm enough for her to go to our pool. Tama and the gang at The Poupounette have really inspired me. I already have the sunbathing thing down pat cat but those Abys et al are MASTERS and MISTRESSES OF ... THE DANGLE! So after much practice (I have to do it at night when MK isn't around with that clicky-thing. Didn't want any pics until I had it PERFECT.) And .... ta da! All 'dose man-katts out there are fogging up their pawrents' laptops right about now. Here is my dangle.  It's sexy, yet casual - nonchalant, even. Virtually SCREAMS "laid back blackie". I'm quite proud. I worked very hard. MK was scrambling for her clicky-thing! I let her photo me. Whadda ya think? Purrz! Selina

"Zzzzzzz....." "Harrrumph ... yawn ... shift ... sigh" Dreaming   "I knew y'all wanted to see it."

Peeps! We are SO excited around here.  Guess what DK brought home last night? A NEW CAT TREE! It's totally awesome! We have two in the bedroom and this new one replaces the one below: As you can see, the rope is in pretty sad shape, and there's a dead mouse in front of the tunnel. A clear-cut case of a violent rodentia drive-by. There should be a chalk outline. "EWW!  Nutmeg, quit leaving your semi-disemboweled rodentia around the apartment!" Anyway, we are really thrilled to have new furniture! Smells kinda funny bu t we'll have that sussed in no time. Gee ... getta load of THIS. S he wasn't the first one *I* was expecting to explore the top bunk. "Ooooo ... for ME? You SHOULDN'T have!" "Thanks, DK!  MUAH!" Boudicca does look comfy, doesn't she? "Zzzz ... snorgle ... Zzzz ... snorgle ... If it fitz, I'z snorgles!" (She makes WEIRD snorgling sounds when she (A) sleep

Morning, peeps! Tuesdays are going to be Morticia's day to blog. So here she is! Not TOO happy about that clickie thing. Hi, I'm Morticia. I am known as "Herself" because I am the oldest and the only kit here who tries to conduct herself with a little dignity, despite being hounded by The Brat. (And Selina, who thinks she can usurp my position as Queen.) She needs to learn that actually , if you go by age , Boudicca is next in line for my place.  She's 9 and Selina is 6.  Boudicca is the "heir" and Selina is the "spare"!  MOL In the meantime, I can keep her in line.  (Age and treachery, you know how that old saying goes, I trust.) But boy, does it get wearying sometimes. I really just want her to lay off (and The Brat, too). I DO try to be a nice kitty - and MK makes me feel so much better letting me sleep with her every night and telling me that I am her "Black Pearl Beyond Price".  Isn't that nice of her?  MK is *

Happy Monday to my peeps! I was struggling to come up with a really good subject for today's post and was getting nowhere fast.   Until, that is, The Brat came to my rescue! She thought that a post about her mousies would be in order so you can see what we all have fun with over here.   A very diverse group if I do say so. She/we have a nicely varied assortment. When MK says the word, "Mousie!" or "Wanna play Mousie?", to her, Nutmeg rubs on her ankles and mews and mews (she's still got that kitten mew despite being two years old) so MK throws each mouse in turn. Then she walks to where they all ended up and throws all of them again.  (Are any of your pawrents nodding their heads because this scenario sounds vaguely familiar?) Her faves are the beige-colored ones with the brown ears.  So we here would love to see pics of YOUR favorite toys. Whatcha got? (We love Katie's posts about her donkey!) Purrz! Selina PS  If you like any of o

Hiya ...  Ray here. I'm the stand-in post-er today - Selina's still on vacation.   I am the resident guy here. Well, besides DK ... but he's a two-legger. Otherwise, I have to put up with five girls. FIVE. See 'em? (I am bottom right. Trying to ignore them.)    If I don't look at them, they aren't there, right? They're with me ALL. THE. TIME. Today, MK focused on me, though, and took a couple of shots of me snoozing. For ONCE, I'm alone in the bedroom.  Here I am: Yes. That's a Pokemon behind me .     Ahhhh .... I am a long boy, aren't I?   This duvet feels like a giant marshmallow.   The things a man-kitty has to go through to get some "man time". And now? With the moon coming up? Oy. It's gonna get crazy here ... very soon. Ray
