"My Pet Counts" Postcard Blitz

Pleeze drop by Artsy Catsy or Zippy, Speedy & Sadie's blogs to find owt how to partisipate in the "My Cat Cownts" Postcard blitz. The stoopid FDA keeps saying that only 17 pets were affektid by recalld foods, and we all know that's a bunch of hooey. So this postcard campane is to let the pollytishuns know that this is a ginormous dizaster that shood not be sweeped under the rug.

Tonite's Stroler Ride: The Pink Cast

We wint on a strole tonite, and it was grate. Heer I am gitting reddy to go:

And my pal Rocky duz the pre-strole chek for me -- He makes shur all the weels are fild with air and reddy to go. He cheks the frunt....

...and then he checks the bak:

He's a vary good frend to do that, and he duzn't even go on the strole with me!

The best part of tonite's strole was that I got to see the nice blonde gerl hoo has the pink Harley! Win she saw me, she ran up and she sed, "Skeezix!!!" And gess whut? She has a PINK cast on her arm. She didn't brake her paw, she just hert it, so she gits to ware this grate PINK cast!!! And this is whut it looks like:

We vizited for a wile, and she told us that she rode horses, and she told us abowt all the animuls she has, and abowt one of her cats hoo got eeten by a bobcat in the forest. (Bobcat or vishus deer? I think I know the anser to that!) She was vary vary nice and I'm glad she wunts to be frends with me. I'll have to git her sum FOS buttuns!

My Tent

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a Wordless Wenzday foto. Heer's whut it was a pikcher of: a tent I got at Target as part of the prize I wun in Catster's Werld's Coolest Cat Kontest. They gave me a gift sertifikut and I got to go on a $100 shopping spree and pik owt anything I wunted! How grate is that? I play in it all day long, and it's ALL MINE sinse I wun it in a contest. It has holes in it, and a tube thing connekts to one of the holes like a tunnul. It's vary neet and vary FUN.

But what's REELY fun is win Mr Tasty Face lifts it up off the grownd and plays with me inside. He calls it a Skeezy Taco. And win I git done playing with him, I offin klime owt of my fun tent and klime onto his sholder!

As yoo can planely see, thare's no LIMIT to the fun yoo can have with this fun tent. Beefore my big bruther Mao wint on the lam, I'd hide inside it, and win he walked by, I'd reech owt of one of the holes and grab him! He didn't like that game as much as I did, but he's kind of an old fuddy duddy.

If yoo wunt one of yer vary own, thare on sale for $8.07 at Target. It's called a Crinkle Cave. (No, they don't have any in pink!) Win the Food Lady saw it, she thot it was cheezy, but I coodn't find any cheeze in it. And it is FUN FUN FUN!




The vary best part is being abul to spend qwality time with Mr Tasty Face!

Washday

Evry weekend, the Food Lady has to wash the cat qwilts becuz they git vary filled with my furs. Maybe that's why I'm neerly hareless. She keeps meening to put up a foto on the Bizzy for Gizzsy qwilts blog, but she fergits to take pikchers win they are kleen, and as soon as we start using them, they fill up with my furs. And Mao's furs, too, ixsept sinse he's on the lam, his furs are sumware else.

Fashun Show Friday: Pink Catsoots for Prizziners

So, win Mao wint to prizzin, I started thinking more abowt prizzin reeform, espeshully thoze gastly owtfits they make prizziners ware (horizontal stripes or oranje jumpsoots). So I thot if they let the prizziners ware more fashunubul owtfits, they'd be happier, and also lern how to dress better for job interviews win they git owt of the pen.

So heer's an example of how much happier Charles Mansun looks with a kyoot pink catsoot. The catsoot has an added advantage of not being able to hide weppins and kilos of heroin. I think Charles Mansun wood make a good Pink Lady!
UPDATE: Well, I faled to take into considerayshun that all the Pink Ladies are scairt of Charles Mansun, and that since he is neether nice nor a lady, he duzn't meet the qwalifikayshuns to be a Pink Ladey. That's okay. I don't think I'd wunt him to join FOS eether. I'll chek with Rocky to see if he'd make a good spicy vixin.

Thirteen things I've bin doing sinse my big bruther Mao has bin on the lamb.

1. Lernd it's not "on the lamb" but "on the lam." Wich still makes no sense.
2. Used the Google to find owt why they call it "on the lam." Heer's whut the Werd Detektive sed:
   

   Dear Word Detective: I've been asked to find the derivation of the phrase "on the lam." The dictionaries of slang that I have in my office cite usages in the 1920s (I can see just see Cagney hiking his pants and preparing to outwit them coppers). But none of them explains how "on the lam" came to mean "on the run." My reputation is on the line here. Please help. -- B. Marcus, via the Internet.
   
   ... "on the lam" has been popular American slang for "on the run" since at least the latter part of the 19th century. The root of "lam" is the Old Norse word "lamja," meaning "to make lame," and the original meaning of "lam," back in the 16th century, was "to beat soundly."
   
   The change in the meaning of "lam" from "beat" to "run away" may have echoed another slang term for running away -- "beat it." To "beat it" is to rapidly beat the road with one's feet by running. Similarly, an escapee's feat "lam" the road as he heads for the cornfield. And now I must excuse myself. The sun is setting, and I have just a few hours to train my cats to bark like Dobermans. '

3. Fownd owt that the Werd Detektive is a cat persun.

4. Not sleeping well. Mao is a good cushun and he's vary warm to cuddle with. Rocky won't cuddle with me.

5. Lernt that Mao has frends I've never herd of, like Mocha and Kami.

6. Praktissing my karry-okey. Mao always makes fun of my singing, but I think that with enuf praktiss, I cood be on American Idul.

7. Applied to be on the teevee show, "Amerika's Top Modul." Mao always poo-poos ideas like this, so with him away, the sky's the limit. I mite even have my own omnipeedia empire by the time he gits bak.

8. Not playing. With Rocky grownded and Mao away, thare's no wun to play and rassle with. So I've been playin' with myself, but it's not much fun.

9. Did sum sketches for my new Fall Fashun line. It's eezier to do it withowt Mao arownd becuz he just sez things like, "That looks stoopid," or "Enuf with the pink alreddy, bro!" and then I have to argue with him and that slows me down.

10. Tride to think of sum way to git sent to prizzin so the Pink Ladies cood brake ME owt!

11. Wunderd why prizziners are stuk waring eether blak and white horizontul stripes or oranje jumpsoots, neether of wich is a flattering look. I think pale pink catsuits wood be nice for them sinse they woodn't be abul to hide weppuns vary eezily and pink is a color that's flattering to EVRYWUN, even Charles Mansun and OJ. Maybe I cood start a prizzin fashun reeform inishitive.

12. Sukt my toze a lot wile grooming. Mao is always on my case abowt sukking my toze. Like he's one to talk. He's the werst toe sukker EVER. So now I can suk my toze as lowd as I wunt and nobuddy will git on my case.

13. Look owt the window to see if Mao's on his way home.

MONTY!

Monty Q. Kat makes his way onto the famous Red Carpet, looking flashy and fabulous in a dark suit and playful scarf. Made of fluffy cashmere and fringed in pink, (an tip to Skeezix and Daisy, perhaps?), it's more than just a fashion accesory, it's something to play with during breaks in the show!

BITEY!

Here's Bitey with his new woman. She finally got smart and dumped her husband. He was a bad influence on her fashion sense, so now she's back to looking as great as she did years ago. And it's all Bitey's influence. Normally dressed in a tuxedo, Bitey looks right at home in this YSL old-school tux.

ONE-EYED STEVIE!

Heard the rumors that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are the newest Hollywood item? They're WRONG! Reese has been secretly dating One-Eyed Stevie and they're taking their relationship public on the red carpet for the Acatemy Awards!

LUCY!

The crowd gasped when this couple arrived on the red carpet. While he should be at home with wife Melania and baby Baron, The Donald is out on the town with Lucy the Cat! We're not sure how serious this relationship might be, but our body language expert notices how they're leaning close to each other, "clearly more than just friends" says Dr. Feline Form.

Taking the cats on a walk

Anuther artikul frum the Daily Male:

Jackie Morris is used to the odd stare when she takes her pets out for a walk. But it's not her dogs Bella and Floss that get the admiring glances, but rather her three ginger cats that accompany them.

Maurice, Elmo and Pixie often tag along on the four-mile walks by the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. The intrepid moggies pick their way through moorland and even negotiate tricky stiles on the route. They also leap onto the sign posts, perhaps to check they are going in the right direction.

Their adoring owner Jackie said her cats were keen to come out in all weathers...but the preening felines didn't like muddy areas and avoided any bogs.

She said: "We do get a lot of people staring at us. Ramblers come up to us and say: 'But they're cats'. And I say: 'Yes of course, they are cats.' No-one can quite believe that they really come walking with me. But they love it.

"Elmo likes to be in the lead, Maurice wanders off to look at things and runs up hills and gateposts, and Pixie likes to stand and stare at the view, or jump on you as you walk past. "Once someone said to me: 'You're supposed to keep your dog on a lead.' And I had say: 'But he's a cat."

Mystery cat takes regular bus to the shops

I red this in the Daily Mail. Maybe I can take a bus to go vizit Mao in the Pen.

Bus drivers have nicknamed a white cat Macavity after it has started using the No 331 several mornings a week.

The feline, which has a purple collar, gets onto the busy Walsall to Wolverhampton bus at the same stop most mornings - he then jumps off at the next stop 400m down the road, near a fish and chip shop.

The cat was nicknamed Macavity after the mystery cat in T.S Elliot's poem. He gets on the bus in front of a row of 1950s semi-detached houses and jumps off at a row of shops down the road which include a fish and chip shop.

Driver Bill Khunkhun, 49, who first saw the cat jumping from the bus in January, said: "It is really odd, the first time I saw the cat jumping off the bus with a group of passengers. I hadn't seen it get on which was a bit confusing.

"The next day I pulled up on Churchill Road to let a couple of passengers on. As soon as I opened the doors the cat ran towards the bus, jumped on and ran under one of the seats, I don't think any of the passengers noticed.

Thirteen fashun tips frum Skeezix the Cat (and frends)

1) Aksesserize. For example, I cood've just worn this vary cool blak lether vest by itself, but to add a littul pizzazz, I added my NEW PINK COWBOY HAT!!!!!! Yoo can planely see in the ixzampul beelow what a diffrinse a singul aksessery can make!

just the blak vest (BORING!!):
add the pink cowboy hat (snappy!):

2) Wile we're ooohing and ahhhing over my new blak lether vest, let's moove onto tip number 2: the devil is in the deetales! This meens that the diffrinse between blah and aah! is in the deetales of eech peese of clothing yoo ware. Lookey heer: Yoo've got 1) a kyoot wite bow that reely is set off nicely aginst the blak lether; 2) a roze wich sends a suttle signul that yer a romantik; 3) a skull and crossbones: edgy --- it keeps them gessing; 4) Wite lace, wich carries thru the theme establisht with the wite bow; and 5) Blak lace -- adds a little MRAO! and pulls it all together, and also gits a nice yin-yang energy going aginst the wite lace. This jakkit has good fang schway. And did I menshun it's KYOOT!

3) Don't be afrade to brake the roolz. For ixzampul, yer mother probly always told yoo that cats shood NEVER ware howndstooth. But my speshul frend Daisy prooves that howndsteeth can be a bold fashun statement!

4) If yer a lardbutt, don't ware tites:

That shood go withowt saying, yet obveeusly, it needs to be reiterated becuz sum cats didn't git the memo.

5) Vertikul stripes are slimming, and vary snappy! If yer fluffy, vertikul stripes are an exsillint fashun choice. Duzn't Lilly Lu look SMASHING?

6) Dimunds are a gerl's best frend. Don't skrimp on the joolry! My best frend Rocky Ann still knows how to werk it even tho she's sixteen yeers old ... we cood lern a LOT frum RA!

7) It's okay to ware a cap if yer having a bad hare day:

8) Evrybuddy looks FABYULUS in a pink satin bathrobe. It's a timeless look that will serve yoo well in any fashun sichuayshun.

9) Speeking of pink: yoo can never have too much of it, as illustrayted by Sabi beelow:

10) If yer a big man cat, the Hugh Hefner smoking jakkit is as essenchul a part of yer wardrobe as yer James Bond dinner jakkit!

11) Sumtimes, it's okay to only ware a hat --- if it's a GOOD hat!

12) Polo sherts are kinda dull, so it's better to git wun with some stripey colors at the nek and sleeves to jazz it up a littul so yoo don't look like yer frum Snoresville, USA.

13) Don't hold bak frum buying kyoot holiday clothes just becuz yoo can only ware them once a yeer! Yoo only have nine lives, so live it up! (But if yoo ware a turkey swetter on Thanksgiving, make shur they don't mistake yoo for the turkey.)

Thanks to Kismet, Daisy, Pixie, Rocky Ann, Rocky, Lilly Lu, Mao and Sabi!!!

I'm a littul sad becuz I orderd this grate oranje Huh-why-un shert espeshully to ware on this day and the man in the bloo shorts never brot it. I think he's gitting lazy or sumthing. Or maybe he kept it for himself becuz it was so kyoot.

Oh, and by the way, the Food Lady is feeling better. She's still making sum lowd sownds and littul green men are kliming owt of her throte, but she's up and arownd. Maybe she'll be abul to git Mao to come inside and play with me becuz he and Rocky have bin hanging owt by the male box evry singul day and sinse the male box is owtside, thare's no one inside to play with me and I have to play with myself, wich is a littul fun, but it's much better win sumwun plays with me.
