Meech

Today, me and my big bruther Mao sponserd a Best Frends Animul Sankchewary Cat. Her name is Meech. She is a very very afekshunit cat. We have not met her in persun becuz she lives at Best Frends Animul Sankchewary, wich is not in Castro Valley by the big forest. Since we sponserd Meech, we'll start gitting a magazeen that has lots of cat pikchurs in it.

Yoo can sponser a cat yerself, just CLIK HEER.

It only costs $25, wich Mao sed he can pay for out of his profits selling "Mao & Rocky's Vishus Deer Repellunt." According to Mao, the orders are fludding in.

Toonces the Cat's World of Naychur

I thot this was reel intristing. I've never seen a lizzerd: have any of yoo ever seen a lizzerd? It's kinda kreepy to see thare tales fall off, but I kinda want to try it!

Git Well, Rosie & Cheeto's Ladey!


Heer is my Git Well card for Rosie and Cheeto's Lady.

I was very sad to heer that Rosie and Cheeto's lady ate stones this week and got very sik. I herd frum Mao and Rocky that many yeers ago, The Food Lady had a illness cauzed frum stones, but she was lukky and got operated on by the fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Shlain, hoo got the stones out and she was better in less than one day. Rocky wished the Food Lady didn't git better so qwik becuz the Food Lady's mommy came to take care of her, and the Food Lady's mommy gave him and Mao lots and lots of extra treets and food. I don't think the fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Shlain werks at Bullevard Pet Hospital, becuz I think the vet man just helps animuls, not Food Ladys. Rocky thinks the fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Shlain werks in San Fransisko, wich sownds like ware Rosie and Cheeto liv. Rocky sed the fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Shlain also took out stones frum Albert Brooks, the moovey star, becuz Albert Brooks is his suninlaw. Mao sez Rocky gosips too much. The fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Shlain is so fameus, he's in Wikipedia. I still wish I was in Wikepedia.

Anyway, Rosie and Cheeto, yoo shood tell yer lady to go see the fameus dokter and surjin Leonard Schlain to make her better. Unless she's alreddy better, wich wood be the best thing of all.

Mao also has a Git Well card on his blog. Win we play dokter, he's the nurse and I'm the dokter. He duzn't like playing nurse, but he duzn't have a dokter outfit.

OK, Everyone over to Kismet's!

If yoo go to my best frend Kismet's blog, yoo can see him moduling his new "Frend of Skeezix" shert. I'm abowt to launch my Fall Kollekshun, and Kismet is my model. I'm very lukky to have a big man cat like Kismet as a model, becuz he makes the shert look so good. Mao refyoozed to model for me becuz he thot it was stoopid, and that the shert was stoopid.

Anyway, yoo shood hop over to Kismet's to see the shert!

Stuck!

One of the many good things abowt being a skinny runt is that I can sqweeze into small spaces. Unforchewnitly, I sumtimes can't git owt agin. This is a pikchur of me being stuk. I crawld into a box ware some importunt papers live, and I coodn't sqweeze back owt. So I stretched my legs owt so sumone cood see me and I cride in my most pitiful voise possibul until sumone cood heer me and come look free me. Wich they did. Getting stuk is kinda fun. Have any of yoo ever gottin stuk? (Notise my kyoot pink pawpads!)

My new clubhowse

I'm so ixcited! The Food Lady ordered my anuther grate box frum the innernet. It's very much like my Whirly*Pop Clubhowse (wich I still have), but it is abowt a mile longer, so it makes a good tunnel. Unforchunitly, it doesn't say "Whirly*Pop" on it. They cut holes in it so I can still my paws out to play with my tinsel wand. It's also good for survaylinse. This is only abowt the best box in the yooniverse. I'm shoor the Food Lady had to shop at many innernet places to find a grate box like this.

Anuther Cat Driver

This one looks like a better driver than Toonces.

The Toonces Theme Song


Heer's the Toonces Theme Song. It's reely qwite a snappy jingle. I have a theme song, I just need to git the Food Lady and Mr Tasty Face to rekord it.

More on Car-Driving Cats

As I was reeserching cat driving skools, I ran across this artikul. The compleet artikul is heer. The ferst part of the artikul is below:

DRIVING; The Cat Who Liked To Drive
By JOYCE COHEN


EVERYBODY knows dogs love to ride in the car and cats hate it. Dogs sit up, bright-eyed and eager, and hang their heads out the window. Cats cower under the seats and wail.

Tell it to Jack, a silver Persian who lives near Boston. He not only likes riding in the car; he wants to drive.

''He sits on my lap and puts his paws on the steering wheel like he is learning to drive,'' said his owner, Kim Sousa Panton. ''He meows when there's action, like when I'm turning the steering wheel.''

On the road, Jack looks something like Toonces the Driving Cat, the "Saturday Night Live" character of a few years ago who inevitably crashed the car. Passing motorists smile and point and wave. Jack also practices at home. "If we keep the garage and the door to the Jeep open, he will jump in and stand on the seat looking out over the steering wheel," Ms. Panton said.

Or tell it to Merlin, a domestic longhair in Houston who was found as a stray 14 years ago. Merlin not only likes to ride but has learned how to open the window so he can put his head out.

Merlin used to be the perfect passenger, sitting, napping, quietly taking in the passing parade, said his owner, Donna Rasp. But one day her son, Jeremy, a teenager at the time, pushed the button to open the window. When he closed it, Merlin put his paw on the button, lowering the glass, and put his head outside. Jeremy put the window up again, and Merlin put it down again. Now, she said, Merlin tries to open the window every time he is out for a ride.

"Driving with Merlin is a two-person job," said Jeremy Rasp, now 28.

----------------------------------------------------
Yoo can reed the hole artikul heer.

Jack the Cat praktises at home in thare Jeep. I wunder if they have a Jeep Rubicon like I have?

We need to find out ware Toonces Wint

Toonces the Driving Cat

Heer's a response to the Meezers asking abowt ware we cood go to driving skool. Maybe driving skool isn't such a grate idea. Or maybe we just need to go to a better one than Toonces did.

Awgust in Castro Valley by the Big Forest

This is whut Awgust is like in Castro Valley by the big forest. This is a pikchur of my bak yard, ware the big forest begins. In sum places, I've herd that Awgust is very hot. Well, not in Castro Valley by the big forest. It is very cold in Awgust. See that wite stuff? That is bone chilling fog. The lake below us and the hills make it. It looks like whut comes owt of smokers' mowths, iexcept it's colder and bigger and it duzn't stink. It comes win the sun sets, and it stays all nite and most of the day. Fog keeps Mr Sun frum shining down on us. That meens it gits cold. I'm a skinny hairless runt, and I can tell yoo that Awgust is abowt the coldest munth of the hole yeer, heer by the big forest.

Why I'm Safe frum the Vishus Deer

I am pritty safe frum the vishus deer becuz Mao and Rocky bravely patrol evry nite, keeping vishus deer and other preditors away frum our howse. Rocky patrols the gutter, and my big bruther Mao patrols evrything else. If yoo'll notis, they are NOT EVEN WARING KEVLAR VESTS OR SEKYURITY GARD UNIFORMS!

My brave frend, Navin R. Johnson-Davis

This is a pikchur of my frend Navin R. Johnson-Davis, hoo I met on Catster. Navin is a very cool cat, and a very brave cat as well. As yoo can planely see in this foto, Navin is driving a car by sum vishus white reinDEER. LOOK AT THARE CAT-STABBING HORNS!!! (And note how nattily Navin is dressed for the okayzhun in his safurri outfit. Navin has a lot of very nice outfits, including a nitted PINK cap of wich I am espeshully fond.)

Anyway, yoo shood take a minit to reed abowt Navin's advenchur on his vishus deer safurri in his diary. And yoo shood reed all abowt Navin becuz he is definitly the most intresting cat I know. He has majik pants. (And I thot cats didn't ware pants!)

>> Go to Navin's website

Rocky's Male

My outside frend Rocky gits lots of male. I don't know why. Who'd wanna send male to a gutter cat? Win it comes, the Food Lady or Mr Tasty Face put it in the recycul bin and save it up, and then once a week they take all of Rocky's male in the recykul bin to the gutter for him ware he can reed it. Here's whut he got this week:
  1. Fidelity Investments. On the frunt, it says "This should keep you drooling... " and on the back it sez, "Do you salivate at the opening bell?" Well, if opening bell is the same as dinner bell then this one makes sense , and Rocky DUZ tend to drool a lot, espeshully win you scratch him under his chin.
  2. North American Hunting & Fishing Club. Memburship renoowul notis.
  3. American Express. Invitayashyn to git a credit card.
  4. Lotus. CD with sports car stuff on it. (I wish Rocky wood buy a Lotus sports car. It'd make going to see the vet man way more fun. And thare's plenty of room to park it in the gutter.)
  5. Chase Bank. Invitayashyn to git a credit card.
  6. Pheasant Hill Estates. Sum kind of reel estate development with lots of gutters ware Rocky cood live. I hope he's not thinking of mooving.
  7. Jaguar. This is a cat car. It looks fast. Rocky must be seereyus abowt gitting a car if he's gitting all theze car broshoors.
  8. Capital One. I think this is anuther credit card invitayshun. On the outside it sez, "Whut's in yer wallet?" Obveeyusly, they don't know Rocky the Gutter Cat very well, since he never carries a wallet. But he will need lots of credit cards if he's going to be able to buy a car. Maybe he's gonna buy me a car for my berthday!?!

Well, that's it for Rocky's male so far this week. I didn't brake the law looking at his male becuz I didn't open it, I just looked at the outside ware his name was on it.

Tape Fetish

Heer I am with my pakking tape, wich I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Evry time I walk by it, I stop and tak a snif, and lik it. I will come running frum anyware in the howse win I heer somewun ripping the tape. I reely like the way it feels on my fur --- it kinda stiks to it and tugs at it. I almost like it as much as my tinsel wand!

Pleeze exkyooze the fakt that I am NOOD in this pikchur. It was very hot the day the foto was taken.

Gold Teeth

Yoo've GOT to reed Victor Tabbycat's blog today. He has a pikchur of a cat with GOLD TEETH! I thot maybe I'd want sum gold teeth (they'd look good with my Kismet bling tshert and my tiara), but my big bruther Mao told me it reqwires that yoo go to the dentist, wich is abowt the werst thing that can happen to yoo next to a bath or having that goodie sack thing done that the meezers call a "hooha-ectomy".

Jackelopes


I saw this pikchur this morning wich shows sum creechurs called "Jackelopes," wich look like cat-sized verzhuns of the vishus deer. So now, in addishun to ardvarks, do we have to worry abowt jackelopes, too? Since they're small, they aren't as scary as the vishus deer, but they cood get into small hiding places better than the vishus deer can. And it looks like they have powerfull hind legs wich meens they can probably jump high -- like onto the upstares balcony ware my catroom is. Jackelopes are sumthing called a "hokes" wich I tride to look up on m-w.com, but maybe I spelld it rong becuz I coodn't find it. I'll need to do more reseerch. I have my big bruther Mao and Rocky on the lookout for Jackelopes now as well as aardvarks. I look out my balconey into the big forest evry day, but I still haven't seen anything besides berdies and skunks and possums and coonz. Any of yoo guys seen a Jackelope?

The Whirly Bird Cat Toy Moovey


This is a moovey I fownd that shows a cat playing with one of my faverit toys. It's a fishing pole that has a fethery bird attached to it. Yoo git yer persun to make it go and it makes flittery sownds like bird wings. As yoo can planely see in this moovey, it is a pritty grate toy. Yoo can buy it at whirly-bird.com I'm not shoor, but I think maybe this is the same peeple hoo made my nice Whirly*Pop Clubhowse. If it's "Whirly" it's bownd to be fun! And the compyooter screen makes cat sownds that drive me wild win yoo go to whirly-bird.com.

Possum or Aardvark?

Rosie and Cheeto sed that they thot Shabby's possum was akshully an aarvark.

M-W.com sez this abowt the aardvark:
a large burrowing nocturnal mammal (Orycteropus afer) of sub-Saharan Africa that has a long snout, extensible tongue, powerful claws, large ears, and heavy tail and feeds especially on termites and ants.

Now, I kleerly saw Shabby Cat's possum eeting cat food, not termites and ants, so I can only conklude that it wasn't an aardvark. But I like the aardvark's ears!!! And he's PINK - my faverit color! I put a foto of an aardvark heer.

I suspect Rocky the Gutter Cat mite be an aardvark becuz sumtimes he eets ants win the cat food has bin left outside too long. He's not very pink, tho.

URJINT ALERT!!!!

My best frend, Victor Tabbycat --- hoo is vary vijilent abowt the thret frum the vishus deer --- sent me this foto wich docyooments sumthing I didn't know abowt before (hold onto yer pants!): the vishus deer have layzer beem eyes! His ladey and boy wint away for a day and came bak with this terrifying foto of a vishus deer using his layzer beem eyes.


No dowt they use thare layzer beem eyes to slice thru the bodies of tender yung cats and disabul them. So, even more reezin to watch owt for the vishus deer and run for yer life if yoo see one!

THANK YOO, VT, FOR THIS IMPORTUNT PUBLIK SERVICE MESSIJ!!!

Shabby's Frend BeeBop



Heer are pikchurs of 2 amazing creechurs. The littul one is a possum. The other one is my best frend Shabby Cat. Shabby is the big black and wite one.

Shabby sent me theze pikchurs of the possum, hoo he calls "BeeBop." We have possums at our howse in Castro Valley by the big forest, but all of our possums are as big as big man cats, not littul and kyoot like this one. As yoo can see, BeeBop is very very kyoot. Almost kyooter than the kyootest kitten I have ever seen. BeeBop is also very very tiny. Tiny-er even than a runt like me. BeeBop cood sleep with me in my cat bed and thare wood still be room left over. And BeeBop only has little teeney flaps for ears. He's probly def. I think he wood look good in a pink tee-shert.

So now maybe insted of asking the Food Lady for a horse or a kitten for my berthday, I'll ask her for a baby possum. Shabby calls it a "oppossum," but I think it's just a vareyashun in spelling.

Thank yoo, Shabby, for theze excellint pikchurs!

New Pole: Cat Treets

I have a new pole at the top of the blog: What's yer faverit cat treet? Yoo can only chooze one, so pik yer very very faverit -- the one yoo can't live without if yoo were murooned on a dezert eyelund.

Yoo may be surprized to discuver that I am not in the leest attraketed to cat treets (or 'nip, eether). This disapoints the Food Lady becuz that's how she teeches cats how to do trix. Like my big bruther Mao can shake, do a hi five, git in the box, all kinds of trix. I don't have to do trix becuz I cannot be loored by treets. This meens I don't have to werk too hard. Pritty smart, huh?

BTW, it will only let yoo vote once frum eech compyooter. But if yoo open up a diffrint browser (like Firefox, if yer using IE), yoo can vote agin.

The Truth about Cats and Horses

After I posted a foto the other day of a cat on a horse, I desided to do sum reseerch on wether horses were good creechurs or bad creechurs that mite eet me (like the vishus deer). I think I've desided that horses are good, becuz they seem to be good frends with cats. I collected sum fotos of cats with horses to show yoo:































And this next horse is my faverit becuz it has ginormous ears, just like me!



So, do any of yoo have horses? Do yoo know anything abowt horses? I'm thinking maybe I shood ask the Food Lady for a horse insted of a kitten for my berthday.

New Skeezix on a Plane Title


I had them re-do the title for Skeezix on a Plane so that it had a pikchur of me with my tiara. Then I did a Skeezix on a Plane tee-shert to ware to the "Snakes on a Plane" moovey next Friday the 18th. Suppozedly, it's good PeeAr to ware a tee-shert like that ware there will be a lot of moovey-goerz hoo will love "Snakes on a Plane" so much that they'll git all excited abowt "Skeezix on a Plane" and then they'll buy tikits to go see it.

I can't blog inymore today becuz Mr Tasty Face is sick, and it's my job to stay with him in bed and cuddle and purr and lik his face so that he'll git better.

I don't know hoo got kikked off Meowmix House this week becuz thare link to episode 9 is broken. Did anybuddy watch it on Animul Planit? We can't watch Meercat Manor becuz too many kyute meercats git eeten.

This is a cat named Harold. I fownd Harold on MySpace. Have yoo ever seen a more byootiful outfit? Well, if it were pink and wite insted of red and wite, it cood be more byootiful, but otherwise it's just PERFECT. Of korse, I had to order one. It's sumthing called an Elvis outfit. I don't know an elvis is, but I can't wate to git my own Elvis outfit!

How do I git a skwerl as a frend?


So heer's an ixampul of a cat with a skwerl frend. I see the sqwerl outside in the mornings becuz the Food Lady puts sum peenuts out for him, and he comes to eet them. But she doesn't put the peenuts up next to the window, so I only see the sqwerl frum a littul far away. I want the skwerl to come rite up to the window so we can be frends. We're about the same size, and I want to find out how he got his tale so big, and how he heers win all his has are dinky ear nubs. Do any of yoo have a sugjeschun on how to do that?

GRATE NEWS!!!

Rosie and Cheeto finely got thare own blog!!! Me and Rosie and Cheeto go way back, and even tho they leeve lots of comments, they never had thare own blog... until now! WOO HOO! Welcome to the blogosfeer!

And Kismet, if yoo go to thare blog, yoo can see a very big pikchur of Cheeto hoo has BOTH magnifisent wisker humps AND very big paws (that's him on the right). Kismet and Cheeto are both splendid examples of Big Man Cats and I want to grow up to be just like them. (Akshully, just not being a skinny runt any more wood be nice.)

Anyway, yoo all absolootly MUST drop by thare blog at roroandcheesehead.blogspot.com and give them a big welcome! They are reely good spellers, and I was amazed to find out that they travel in a bloo masheen just like the Food Lady and Mr Tasty Face do! They live in an exotik-sownding place calld San Francysco, wich sownds like a place far far away frum Castro Valley by the big forest.

I've been tagged!

I've been tagged by my best frends the Meezers, Kismet and HOT(m)BC. These are the roolz:

Post 5 weird things/habits about yourself. Choose 5 cats to be tagged and list their names. The cats who get tagged need to write a blog about their 5 weird things/habits, as well as state this rule clearly, then tag 5 more victims. Don't forget to leave your victim a comment that says "you're tagged!" in their comments and tell them to read your blog.


So, heer are the 5 weird things abowt myself, plus 2 bonus weird things. Yoo be the judge of how weird they are.
  1. I kiss Mr Tasty Face's Tasty Face evry singul day, and I put my arms tite arownd his nek to hold his hed in place wile I do it. I never ever lik the Food Lady's Face becuz thare's sumthing just not rite abowt that.
  2. When I run, my back legs duck paddle outward, wich I am told makes it funny to watch me run frum behind. But I don't know how else to run. At leest I don't run like a gerl, wich is how Bill Gates runs.
  3. I don't like treets. I don't get the hole catnip thing. I have no vices. I am pyure. (By cat standerds, yoo have to admit this makes me kind of weird.)
  4. I burrow. Even win it's a millyun degreze outside, I burrow deep under the bed cuvers and the kwilt to sleep.
  5. I love my tinsel wand. But without the peeple working it, it duzn't moove. So I have a speshul pathetic yowl I developed that I yooze win I sit in frunt of Mr Tasty Face and say, "MAKE IT GO!" And he does. I've tot Mr Tasty Face lots of tricks like that. I'm pritty good at teeching peeple tricks. It's a gift.
  6. I have a pakking tape fetish. I love love love it. I go to the shelf ware the tape roller sits, and I lick it and lick it. I chek it out sevrul times a day just to make shoor it's okay. And if I heer the pakking tape being ript frum the roller, no matter ware I am, I come running.
  7. I also run to the printer masheen anytime sumthing gits printed. I stik my pointy rat nose into ware the paper comes out, and sumtimes I stik my paw up inside to help the paper along. The last thing makes the Food Lady upset becuz she's afrade the printer will eet me.

And here are the weird things abowt my peeple:

  1. Win she sleeps at nite, the Food Lady makes sownds frum her mouth like a train running thru the howse. This is why Mr Tasty Face puts blue blobby things in his eers before he goze to sleep. And the train in the Food Lady's mouth evidently leeves some stinkeys behind becuz in the morning, she has sumthing called "morning breth" wich makes my noze hairs kurl.
  2. Mr Tasty Face sez over and over agin that he is not a cat persun. But he is the one hoo plays with me many hours evry day with my tinsel wand in my Whirly*Pop clubhouse, and he's the one hoo uzhually kleens my poop.
  3. They both hog the compyooters so much it's hard to get time in to blog. (My big bruther Mao and Rocky the Gutter Cat have this problim too.) They do sumthing called "werk" wich is what pays for the Fancy Feest. They do the werk almost all the time except win thare sleeping.
  4. DO NOT try to git the Food Lady to do anything in the morning before she's had her coffee. Coffee is their "go-juice." It also makes the Food Lady nicer to be arownd.
  5. The Food Lady has a lot of fur on her hed, but it is long insted of short, and it goes down to her tummy. Mr Tasty Face only has a little fur on his hed. It's almost as short as my fur, but dark and kind of wavey. Both of them have pink pawpads.
  6. Mr Tasty Face does NOT have bloo eyes.
Now what cat bloggers are left for me to tag hoo hasn't alreddy been tagged??? Bravely Sir Robin, Kaze the Cat, Zeus, Latte the Meezer and Princess Mia.

What in the Werld????

What is this cat doing, and is he doing it on purpose? Is he hurtuling to his deth, or is he having an advenchur? It looks dangerus! Do any of yoo cats out thare have one of theze?

Wich one of yoo tabbycats is this?

Heer's a tabbycat whooze going after what (I think!?!) is a berdie. If it is a berdie, it's a berdie that's almost as big as a vishus deer! But more stoopid-looking. I know the cat heer is not Victor, becuz he's an inside cat like me, and he won't take any chances going outside ware the deer are wating to eet tender littul cats. Do yoo think this mite be a cat-eeting berd? Maybey the berd is stalking the cat?

My nite walk

I wint for a littul nite walk on the harniss last nite. Win it's nite it's very dark owtside. I wore my faverit shert, the Prince shert with the dimunds that my best frend Kismet gave me.

At ferst I was terrifide becuz as yoo all know, the vishus deer come looking for cats to eet at nite. But then I figyerd that Mr Tasty Face wood not let the vishus deer eet me, so I kalmed down a littul. Ferst, we wint out and dropped by Rocky's howse to visit. We sat in the gutter for a wile. Rocky duzn't espeshully like drop-in visitors, but the Food Lady pikked him up and held him on her sholder and scratched his nek like he likes, and then he didn't mind so much having to visit with us.

We watched this thing called the "moon" come up in the sky. The moon is what the sun is called at nite win the sky is black. Ixcept the moon duzn't make the sidewalk hot like the sun duz. When the moon came all the way up, it was almost as lite as the daytime.

Sumtimes, at nite, the Food Lady and Mr Tasty Face take this long toob out into the nite and look at the moon and satern and jupitur and marz thru the toob, and then they make yeranus jokes and talk abowt asstronumey*. I don't understand all of that yet. Maybe win I go to skool I'll lern more.

We walked a littul ways down the street, and Rocky followed, staying in the gutter. He duzn't like to walk on the sidewalk or in the street, just in the gutter. Heez kind of like my bodygard. I notist that on top of the telefone poles at nite there are these little suns that make the sidewalk very lite, like in the day, but not hot, just lite. So I cood see evrything almost as good as I can see during the day.

I snifft evrything I cood sniff and then we walked back to Rocky's howse wich is rite outside my howse. And then I wint inside my house and the Food Lady took off my harniss. It was a good walk.

* I'm not shoor if that's a bad werd or not, since the ferst part is on my list of bad werds, but the rest of the werd is not. In any case, I'm qwoting them direktly.

The Battle with the Vishus Deer

I wanted to take this oppertoonity to pay tribyoot to the BRAVE cats hoo dailey continyoo to do battle aginst the vishus deer. Skeezix the Cat saloots yoo!













Last Nite's Strole

I had a reely good strole last nite. It wasn't sooper long, but it was fun. It was a little cold outside, so I got to ware my Kismet "Prince" bling t-shirt for the ferst time since the hot wether started. We wint by the howse that the Food Lady calls "Tara" becuz it has wite colums in the frunt, and it's hyuge. Tara is ware Mr. Tinydik livs with his 2 Hummers and the Furrari. Then both Tripper and Rocky followed us up the street. Trip follows us in stelth mode. He runs along ware we can hardly see him and hides in the naybur's bushes. Rocky followed us for two gutters, and then he roled over and took a nap. We crost the street to go arownd down the hill, but Tripper got kinda werried and he woodn't cross the street, so we went back to ware he was, and stroled down the street the other way. Tripper followed us agin, and so did Rocky. Rocky made it down 1 and a haff gutters this time before he lade down for a nap. Tripper kept following in the bushes in stelth mode, popping out onto the sidewok sumtimes. And then we turnd arownd and wint back home. Win we got home, Trip collapsed in the driveway, wich as yoo all know is Rocky's summer home. I think he and Tripper cood be frends if Trip was a little less rambunkshus.

Cats Strike Back!!!!

Just take a look at this very very brave cat, hoo obviusly has HAD IT with the vishus deer terrurizing its nayburhood, and has desided to strike back. SEE YA, BAMBI!!! GO FLUFFY! I don't think I cood ever git to the point ware I wuz that brave, tho, becuz the vishus deer cood eet me in one gulp.

>> More abowt the vishus deer.

New Pole: What Color are yer Pawpads?

This week's pole (in the bloo box at the top of the blog) asks what color yer pawpads are. I don't know what all the possibiliteeze are becuz I can just go by the color of mine and my big bruther Mao's, and Rocky the Gutter Cat's and Tripper the stray cat's. So colors like purpul aren't inclooded even tho they mite exist (pick "Other" if yer pawpads are purpul or green or anuther color.) And since I've also seen pikchurs on the innernet of cats with pokka dot pawpads, yoo can chooze two colors if yoo have them. Don't forgit to chek all yer pawpads!

BTW, Mine are PINK, my faverit color!

Nothin' but Terds!

I try not to rite too much abowt my problims with the sqwerts, becuz I know not evryone is as enthrolled with it as I am. I've bin on many diffrint barfy medisins for like the last 5 or 6 months (wich is most of my life) trying to cyoor my sqwerts problim. Sum werked better than others, and sum didn't werk at all, but nothing werked all the time. Until the last barfy medisin that I got frum Bullevard Pet Hospital. It's reely gross to take (TWICE a day!!!) but I am happy to report that FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I HAVE HAD NUTHING BUT TERDS (no sqwerts) for 2 STRATE WEEKS! Not a singul instanse of Hershey's Choclit Syrup in the cat box. Let's just hope it stays that way so I can stop taking the barfy medisin.
