PurrFurMance Review

We kitties have to give a review of our beans. This makes sense, I know mum gets review at her day hunting job.

Gotta have this done by the end of the month. Maybe this week is a good week to get it done. Mum isn't day hunting this week so I should get her sat down and get this done.

Of course that means she needs to be inside the house. She has spent more time outside in the yard, clearing things up, taking the stuff off to the compost place. Then after she is all done, she just sits outside for a while, until it gotted all dark. We still are having all nice weathers so mum is happy that she had nice stuff to work outside.

Comment-A-Thon Update

We got a card today in the mail thanking us for our donation, we got a nice card with a ginger cat on it. They must have known!
Some nice words from the mobile adoption team Cassie and Lisa. Last names smooshed out so they can be private from the blogosphere.
And a little note on the back of the card. Yes, we kitties miss it when our beans go to heaven, just like you miss us when we go to The Bridge.
Plus a nice letter with the card too. Oh, and mum and I didn't come up with the idea to give this, it was on the shelter wish list.

ManCat Monday

Experience is valuable in most human endeavors, but the problem of getting a cat down out of a tree is new every time it arises. - Francis Duffy

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It continued to be really nice weather wise, so continued open windows for me on Sunday. Plus mum let the sleepy room window open just a little bit all night long. I love it when she does that. I know that these days won't happen much again soon, so happy we have a couple of really nice days.
Mum brought Grampie over on Sunday afternoon. The watched some feetsball, then went outside to enjoy the day. Firsted Grampie held the ladder, then mum climbed up and went walking on the roof! Blowing leaves out of the rain gutters so that the rain, snow ice can drain out better in spring. Then mum dragged the chairs out so they could sit outside and enjoy the day. While they were out lots and lots of geeses kept flying over and making lots of noises. Mum says they were looking for a place to sleep for the night, probably in the corn fields that aren't too far away from us.

Feetsball Report

The Pack - They, well, are...need a word that is isn't on the bad word list. Hmmm, pathetic should work! They lost, they look bad and the QB is sitting on his 'tocks and does not know when to throw the ball away! You can see how I reacted to the game. Just hide my head. Mum and Grampie watched but they both agree that the Pack needs help, specially the O line!

The Colts - continue to win and so far have won all 8 games they have played.

Brett and them Vikings took the week off.

The Bengals - Mr Hendrix's team, they keep doing well too!

Happy Week to all.

UPDATE:

Mum's noisy box by the bed didn't go off this morning. I decided to NOT wake her up. When she did wake up, she wasn't upset. Seems she is taking the week off to stay home and play with me. And, well maybe do some other stuff too, but mostly just to hang with me. I have already mooched treats twice this morning.

Fresh Air!

It is a beautious day today, sunny and warm! Very warm for this time of year. Mum opened up a few windows so we both could get lots of breaths with fresh air.

Mum did some work outside and cut down lots of plants that have frozen up and died. It took two car loads of stuff to the community compost to get rid of it all. She has more to do, but not much. She says that can wait for another day.

So now she has got to get all of the inside stuff done, the washing and drying is going in the dungeon. Plus she just got out the sucking monster too.

Comment-A-Thon Results

OK, mum has finally added it all up. I had 109 comments on my purrthday post on Oct 20 and 22 comments on the next day's post. I counted those too as PoppyQ said, she shouldn't be penalized for living in the future. Mum says that comes out to 65.5 green papers. Do they make half a green paper?

Now she said she would add in green papers for all of the tocks pictures. But then she had problems keeping track of them all. Plus do you just count the picture or how many tocks in the picture?

So mum made an executive decision and will be donating enough green papers so that my shelter, HAWS, can buy this!
A Show Shelter POP UP Double Mesh Door in earthy tan color found at www.sturdiproducts.com for the MOBILE ADOPTION UNIT. Hey, if you can't get to the shelter, the shelter will come to you, or at least nearer to you.

Mum wrote out the paper checky thing and sent it off with a note how to use the green papers. She had talked to them to make sure this would work out for them.

Thanks to everyone who made a comment or posted a picture, we loves you for it and kitties at the shelter will love you for it too. Mum says she needs to go out and take pictures of the shelter as the building expansion is about done!

4th Blogoversary

It is my 4th blogoversary and I figured I would repost my firsted ever post. I got no comments, it took about a week before a few of the other kitties who were blogging stopped by. Since then I am on post #931 with nearly 82,ooo visitors. Wowie, 82,000 is more than twice the number of beans who live in our town!

Stop by tomorrow for the comment-a-thon results!


Hey, my human mum (hu-mum?) has left the computer on. Now is my chance to leave my message. I'm Derby, just your basic cat. But mum says I am one sassy cat.

I live with my mum in a lovely house with lots of windows. That way I can watch all of the birdies outside. My mum even puts special food out to bring them around for me to watch.

I just turned two a few weeks ago. My mum says that is like my being a teenager. She says I even have acne like a teenager. Whatever acne is, she even washes my chin for me. Doesn’t she know I can do this myself?

ManCat Monday

The cat has always been associated with the moon. Like the moon it comes to life at night, escaping from humanity and wandering over housetops with its eyes beaming out through the darkness. - Patricia Dale-Green

Full moon tonight everycat, so prowl the house and keep your beans awake. They are probably all screwed up anyway with the time change. I hoped you remembered to find the hour in the clock this weekend.
I had a quiet weekend. Caturday mum shoped, cleaned and did stuff inside. When the sticky little people showed up after dinner, mum put me in the sleepy room for about 2 hours. The noisy door bell didn't ring much, mum said we only had 17 sticky things show up looking for treats!

We had a sunny Sunday so I spent lots of my time working on my furtan in the windows. Mum went outside to move the leaves around. We had windy days that brought lots of leaves down last week so mum moved them out to the street so they get taken away. Plus now I have a nice, clear view of the back yard, mum put all of the outside furniture away!

Feetsball report

The Pack and The Vikes - losted to #4 at Lambeau, the Pack did not look good, the QB spent too much time on his 'tocks, stoopid mistakes that gave the Vikes extra chances in the first half. Mum yelled at the moving picture box a couple of time early. But then she just watched and they did play better in the second half. Mum says the Pack needs consistancy, which they don't have. If they would play the whole game good, things would be different.

The Colts - Came back to win over SF, they were behind a lot of the game. The Colts are still unbeaten.

Happy November, we have a new month to work on. For my buddy Parker, we are telling all of you that it is Diabetes Month.

Happy Hollow Weenie

Happy Hollow Weenie to all of my furiends, I hope you get lots of treats and no tricks today.

Below is what mum thinks is a cute idea that a neighbor has in their yard for the hollyday, sutble but still cute. Why wouldn't witches and ghosties play ring around the rosie?
Mum came home with a black cat last week, from somebody named Joann, all dressed up like a witch, pretty purple cape and holding a pumpkin.
Mum had seen it in the store a while back but said she thought it costed too many green papers. But when she saw it the other day it was already marked way down, so she bought it. When she got it home she found out a surprise about this kittie which the video shows.

Mum didn't know it played a song until she touched the paw to made the video. I could tell by the big smile on her face she was happy with it.

I will be out and about the house during the day, mum says I can stay in the sleepy room while she hands out sweet treats to the sticky little people who will come by tonight.

Have a great day. Plus mum has to get ready for feetsball on Sunday, number 4 is coming to Lambeau.

ManCat Monday

We tie bright ribbons around their necks, and occasionally little tinkling bells, and we affect to think that they are as sweet and vapid as the coy name Kitty.....It is a curious illusion. For purring beside our fireplaces and pattering along our back fences, we have got a wild beast as uncowed and uncorrupted as any under heaven. - Alan Devoe

Man I had a busy week last week with my purrthday and other stuff happening, so over the weekend I did lots of napping and a little bit of snoopervising while mum got rid of some of the leaves that have dropped off the trees. We had nicer weather over the weekend with sunny days and some decent temperatures. Unfortunately mum did not let me go outside, she was too busy doing stuff inside and away from home.
Miles Meezer the Second is adopted. Mum checked the shelter website on Friday, he was still listed. On Caturday morning, his listing was gone. So happy that he found his furrever home fast as he wasn't on the website for more than a week! Miles 2, have a happy live in your new home.

No mum was not out on the shelter webby site looking specifically for a fursib for me, but looking to see what we can do with the green papers that she plans to donate for my comment-a-thon from my purrthday and the TockTober pictures.

Feetsball Report

The Pack - they won very nicely and the QB did not spend time getting tossed on his tocks.

Brett and The Vikings - lost to the Steelers, thanks Steel Guys.

The Colts - the won.

Next Sunday Brett comes to Lambeau, so this should be interesting to see how he plays in front of the cheeseheads.

On a sadder note I want to wish a fond farewell to Beezer, a fellow Gorgeous Ginger; Kimiko and BG, who all went to The Bridge in the past few days. See you again someday.

Miles Meezer the Second?

When mum was out at my shelter's webby site the other day she took a look at the kitties waiting for a furrever home. She discovered another Miles Meezer!

OUTSIDE!

On the weekend before my purrthday it finally got nice, sunny and the temps warmed up to near 60 degrees. On Saturday mum let me out for a few minutes, but on Sunday mum let me stay out for over 15 minutes. Here are the highlights.

At one point I thought I heard the rustling of a mousie in the grass. Plus you can see how far away from the house I got. Mum tried to keep herself between me and the spot where I could maybe slip outside of the fenced back yard. I can run faster than she can, so she won't let me get a head start.

One of the first days I was here I did get out the front and into the neighbors yard, mum wasn't too happy with me on that. So if I get out it is only in the back yard and under snoopervision or inside my porch. Mum let me wander as it has freezed her, which means the fleas and ticky things are all deaded for the year.

After the Party

Thanks everyone for a wonderful turnout for my purrthday party. The comment-a-thon was a success. Since mum has to total the tock pictures for the whole month, she won't have a total of the green papers that we will donate until early November.

I am tired, so I guess I will go back for another nap or 20. I think there are a few kitties sleeping it off under the beds, plus there is still some foods for snacks if anyone is around.

Purrthday Day

Mum has agreed that for today on this post we will be doing a comment-a-thon. For every comment mum says she will donate to my shelter, the Humane Animal Welfare Society - HAWS. Every comment is worth fifty cents, one per kittie or kittie blog please, so for example, if The Crew came over, they are four kitties but one blog so that would be fifty cents worth.
Plus, since it is Tock-Tober and Fiona and Orlando, my NOMSSF, they have asked that everycat, bun etc. try to post a 'tock picture. Mum asked that there be no bean tock pictures, don't want anyone to get caught doing something icky on the innerwebs.

Mum says she will go through and count 'tock pictures and add some green papers for every 'tock picture too! Since some have already posted before, she will count all 'tock pictures posted in TockTober, so you have until the end of the month to post a 'tock picture.

Let's see if we can break mum's bank account! She was at the shelter website the other night and was looking at their wish list. So she is thinking of getting one of their specific wishes if we gets enough green papers!

Hey everyone, stick around and visit. The buffet is out and the bar is open!

Turkey, chick-hen and of course lots of ham!

Ahi-tuna and shrimps.

Drinks!
Lots of milk and tuna juice for the kittens!

The good stuff for us adult kitties. Champagne, Meowgarita's, Singapurrsling's and Blue Tuna Gizzy's.

Can't miss the treats, these are neat little cakes with treats and nip baked inside!

Today I am now 6 years old, I guess I am almost senior catizen. Not sure I am ready for that! I still have a lot of kitten left in me. Mum would agree with that, I was running and jumping all over the place on Sunday. One end of the house, to on top of the sleeping spot and back to the other end of the house.

A cat in the grass is like a tiger in the jungle. - English Saying
We have an English saying today so I am off to be with Eric and Flynn today. Poor guys are locked up all month while their beans are gone. We will fool them and teleport out and go out into the nice English country side. So three tigers prowling!

It was a furry quiet weekend for me. Lots of naps, but mum left me on Caturday and went out with Miss Lynn. They had dinner, then went to a dress rehearsal of a play called Happy Now?, Miss Lynn got the tickets for free from her work. Mum says it was OK. But she didn't get home until furry late, then went off to the sleepy spot right away

So I decided she needed to have an early wakeup call on Sunday. I jumped up on the beside table about 7 AM and knocked a bunch of stuff off, making lots of noise. Of course mum woke up, then couldn't get back to sleeps. So she got up, got my breakfast, her breakfast and started the laundry routine, then off to get our foods for the week. Once that was done she watched The Pack play, then she got wise and we had a nap together.

Feetsball Report

The Pack - They WIN, Mum says they are still playing sloppy, too many penalties. BeauBeau and Angies's beans got to see a victory!

Brett and them Vikings - Managed to squeak out a win. Them Raven's almost won but missed a FG at the end of the game.

The Colts -taking the week off
Stop back tomorrow, it's my purrthday!

Friday, Friday

Yipee, the weekend is here. Mum got home right on time, she brought dinner home and I got some of it. Little bit of ham and turkey meat. Yum.
Mum says we will have a quiet weekend, filled with doing stuff at home and naps. She says we need a weekend like this. We are also hoping to see a bit of sun this weekend too and maybe some warmer weather! It has been colder than it should be and I haven't had any open windows in ages.

A cat determined not to be found can fold itself up like a pocket handkerchief if it wants to. - Louis Camuti
Yeah, we can certainly make ourselves scarce when we need to, avoid the chaos of the day, hide in plain sight with the stuffed creatures.

It has gotten cold here. Mum spent time on Caturday getting her warmer clothes out for work. Washing all of the summer stuff and putting them away. The heaty monster in the dungeon is running more often now. The plants outside have been nipped by Mr Frost and Freeze. Mum says she will have to start clearing things out the deaded stuff before winter.

Feetsball Report

The Pack took the week off

Brett and the Vikings - they won and belated Happy 40th Purrthday to Brett Lorenzo Favre.

The Colts - were winning when mum went to bed, the game was not over.

Have a good week one and all!

Bed Lump

Mum drives me crazy sometimes. I am all nice and comfortable on the sleepy spot and she thinks she has to bury me after she washed the sheets.
Right in the middle, nothing for reference just that green cloth under and over me.
Hi mum, I see you are sneaking a peek at me. I am comfy but can't see where I am going. Hmmm, if I go towards you.....
Hey, don't put the sheet down! I can't see.
Which way do I go? Mum? Which way is out?
I made it too the edge of the sleepy spot, whew, now I just have to jump down.
Yep, there is the floor, I'm outta here!

Happy weekend to one and all. Major snuggle weekend here, the weather guesser says we might see snowflakes in the next few days. Mum is not happy to hear that but it won't be enough to have to clear off.

Plus I gotta keep purring for my furiends. Mr Tigger (get home dude), Mittens, Aunty Deb is having surgery soon, I am sure I am missing somecat here, or somebean. I always do my purrs morning and night and include all the gang of the Cat Blogosphere, get well, come home, find a home etc.
