International Box Day, eh?

Image
Ok this sounds like fun! Well, the bad news is:  there are NO pictures of me in a box. Yet. The good news is, I have pics of some of my sibs in boxes.  I'd be happy to share this with The Cat Blogosphere if someone would meow how to do it. So, without further ado: 1.  My brofur, Feisal, in a box (DadKatt LOVES Belhaven Scottish Ale: 2.  Feisal again, in a cube.  These two are sort of sequential ... kinda ... (lousy cell phone cam):  Well, his FRONT end is in it, anyway.   (You *do* have to laugh at his head poking up through the hole, there.  MOL) 3.  Now here's Peppers, doing what he does best (i.e, not a whole lot MOL MOL!): Organizing boxes count, right? 4.  And here he is again, backlit: 5.  Next up is my Meezer brofur, Sharif, who's in the dryer - it's as close as I can get to having a pic of him in a "box"-like thing (which is odd, because he LOVES boxes, big time, so you'd thi...

WIGGLY WEDNESDAY!

Image
Well, here we are again at another Wiggly Wednesday.  Where DOES the time go?  At least, that's what MomKatt constantly asks:  she should be a cat, we don't tell time and don't care, really.   So what have I been up to?  DESTROYING THINGS!  Well, not really "destroying" as in breaking things into pieces, just marauding objects upstairs such as trash cans (a METAL one in the upstairs bathroom - oh, you should HEAR the "CLANG!" it makes when I push it over! MOL! MOL) And there is this HUGE white shower stall in the upstairs bath - have I been having fun with THAT!?  Did you know, you can hide in it and LEAP OUT at hoomans or - better still - other kittehs when they come up to it?  The trick, though, is that the tub/shower is white, and I'm black so I'm easily seen ... however, MomKatt showed me a "shower curtain", the lining of which goes in the shower and curtain itself goes outSIDE the shower ... so I can hide either in the bathtub...

'TICIA TUESDAY

Image
I think that Tuesdays will be for my sisfur, Morticia (or 'Ticia as MomKatt often calls her).  It was a special day yesterday for her.  She is wedded to a very nice, handsome black kitty on Catster named Hudson ("The Mightiest Kitty in Rome" - how's THAT for a nickname?) and yesterday was their third wedding anniversary!  Here is their wedding portrait:   Their wedding was Elizabethan/Tudor themed (that's Hampton Court Palace in the background, the scene of the nuptials) and 'Ticia is wearing a gown she borrowed from one of Elizabeth I's so-called "Sieve Portraits" (because she is carrying a sieve in her left paw, a symbol in Tudor times of virginity and, therefore, appropriate for "The Virgin Queen").  Hudson borrowed his finery from Elizabeth's good friend, Sir Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester.   Don't they make a fine pair?  They were married by an archbishop, too!  And their Master of Revels was dressed as Henry ...

MEOWY MONDAY

Oh dear!  Morning peeps!  It's been a bit TOO long since I've meowed at you all!  I didn't forget you! MomKatt had a busy weekend, starting Friday with her annual physical.  She's losing weight with Weight Watchers and found out she's lost, in 6 weeks, 14.6 lbs!  (As you can see, *I* do not have that problem, being the tubular, long kitty that I am!)  But I'm very purrrroud of her 'cause she's working REALLY hard - I get the urge to nap heavily just THINKING about how hard she's working.  (She's a runner - in THIS heat?  Nutso *circles paw next to side of head*  But it's working sooo ... this kitty don't argue with results!  MOL) So how are you all?  Gimme a shout & let me know!  I hope you all have a PURRRRFECT week. PURRS! Selina the slinky

Abys

GOOD THURSDAY MORNING! I think today I'll write about two of my siblings, Livia, a blue Abyssinian, and Feisal, a ruddy Abyssinian.  Here are pictures - the first one is Livia.   Livia is as sweet as they come.  She's a Blue Abyssinian, 11 years old, with beautiful green eyes and a shrimp-colored belly.  All she wants out of life is to eat and be loved on constantly, 24/7.  She's never unhappy, always up for petting and lovins and rarely meows.  She's got big ears, too! (I understand Abys are supposed to have large ears set far apart on their heads.) This is Feisal:   You may all recall I mentioned a "villain" in my household?  Well, Feisal is it.  He's 10 years old.  He stalks me.  He doesn't like me much and I don't know why.  I hiss at him just like I hiss at everyone else but he will come upstairs DELIBERATELY to find and harass me.  We've been in a couple of full-on screaming matches in the last 2-3 weeks esp...

WIGGLY WEDNESDAY!

*wiggles on into the blog, singing to herself*  I'm just a wigglin' fool ... oh ah'm a wigglin' fool ... I wiggle on Monday ... Then I wiggle onTuesday ... and as for Wednesday ........ Oh, HAI !  You caught me wigglin' - it's what I do best, but ESPECIALLY on Wednesdays!  So, I'm naming my Wednesday entries "Wiggly Wednesday"! My furriend, Athena, chose me as a Kreative Blogger, and picked me to play a game.  I'm now supposed to tell five things about myself.  So let's see here ...  1.  Well ... I WIGGLE!  A lot!  I'm just a squirmy kinda gal! 2.  Teasers!  I love 'em!  All kinds!  Any kind!  Just dangle it in front of me and I'm anyone's! 3.  Hissing - It should be an Olympic sport - and I'd be the captain of the USA Team HISS!  (Well, I'm still doing it to my siblings, to my MomKatt's regret, but not AS much as I have been.  She told DadKatt the other night she thought I was "tapering off"....

Meowy Monday

Well, meowlo to all my peeps!  I hope everyone had a good weekend and a good DadKatt's Day!  Did you give your DadKatts extra lovins?  I hope so.  Me?  Wel, MomKatt used the computer more than usual this Sun. (usually, she takes Sun. off from the laptop), so I got extra time with her on the keyboard (and, of course, I tried to make MY impression on the keyboard but I kept getting removed from it.  Hey, a cat's gotta meow, doesn't she?)  So ... CAT TEASERS!  They're great, aren't they?  MomKatt plans to post a pic of me playing with my new teaser, which has feathers AND little dangly things sprouting off of the feathers that make it look like a jester's hat!  It's really, really cool.  I think I love teasers the best of all my toys - hey, why don't you tell me what YOUR favorite cat toys are?   I also have a little homemade catnip sock that someone put in one of my adoption "care" packages - it's a little pink hooman ...
