My human bro Sean is really happy as his school's football team (Penn State) won the Outback Bowl yesterday. I just had to show my approval. : )
That's dad's old football that he found at his old house and brought home to toss around with Sean. He really likes that stinky old thing!

Love bite gone wrong

2006-12-31T19:12:00.000-05:00

This morning and many mornings in the past, Ma gets up and feeds me and goes back to bed. This mornin' she was sitting up in bed(she had a snack) so I got on her lap and was saying 'good mornin ma' and turned around and bite her on her neck! I think I bite too hard as she said 'ouch, bad boy' and I got a tap on the nose. I got off the bed as fast as I could and mournfully cried going down the hallway waking the guys both up.
I heard ma telling mom mom on the phone about it and mom mom said it was probably an over affectionate love bite. Later, I made up, but I wouldn't give mom a kiss on the hand she wanted. She let me taste her spaghetti and meatballs, so all is well.

The house is calming down

2006-12-29T22:35:00.000-05:00

We've had a load of beans here this year to see the big tree in the house (why oh why?) A couple of kids even showed up and I tore through the house down to my basement hideaway. You know I was desperate to do that. Anyway, I got some cool new stuff to play with. A striped tail- like thing that I kick the heck out of and some little mousies that I can really toss in the air and push under the appliances in the kitchen (there's one under the stove as I type this-ha!)
I wish you all a :

Just one more...

Mom and Dad got themselves a new 'flashy box' for Christmas. Mom was playing with it and caught me sunnying myself under the dining room table. Ha-ha-she forgot to remove the big white envelope there!

I let them get it out of their systems, did I have a choice? What's funny is that old bag behind me that says Woolworth on it. That place has been out of business for years, yet mom is still storing Christmas stuff in it.
So have a great holly day, or whateva they call it! I think I'm getting some stuff too!

Chillin'

2006-12-08T23:43:00.000-05:00

Very funny! So I'm looking through the slats on the chair-oh go and get the flashy box and make me look so evil with those glowin' eyes. At least I don't get red 'devil' eyes when I get my photo taken. Ha!
And look at this-I'm surrounded by books on the floor! Mom has two huge bookcases above me in this photo and she can't fit another book in them. So pathetic.

Hissy fit

2006-12-04T17:08:00.000-05:00

I look all adorable here, yes I do. But take me out of my bed and put me down the basement at night and I'll hiss at you! It's a new thing I've started to get attention. Started when Dad just took me out of my bed for the heck of it (he's not a cat person at all) and I loudly voiced my opinion at being disturbed. So now mom is giving me treats to hush me up, though I know she'd like to give me a kick in the tail region. She even broke the lid of my snack jar last night trying to fish out a treat in the dark kitchen. Darn her, I liked that jar. She better fix that lid or find something that will work-make it work is more like it!

Waiting on din din

2006-11-27T15:56:00.000-05:00

To tell you the truth, I was 'hiding out' until
my human brother Sean found me and stuck
the flashy box in my face! Geezy!
But when I gave mom the 'big eyes' when she
was eating her Thanksgiving meal, I got some
scrumptious turkey. Cuteness really works!!

The nip mat

Pure joy!!!

Mama's birthie day

2006-11-17T12:19:00.000-05:00

Mom is having her big day on Sunday the 19th. One of her pals sent her a surprise

package with something for me in it! It's a mat that you add nip too! So cool and I really love it. Thanks Miss Joy! Mom took some photos that she'll add soon. She found this cute kitten and thought it looked like me a little.

Mama singing to me

Mom is just putting her arm on the back of the soffie at the end, not swatting me-looks weird where dad stopped it.

Celebrating autumn

2006-11-10T12:45:00.000-05:00

This is me outside a few days ago (see below). Mom decided to photoshop this picture. Most of the leaves are fake and she had to color in my back. She should learn how to cut and paste photos with erasing them to make the design show.

Dang leaves

2006-11-06T16:41:00.000-05:00

It was a nice day, just a little chilly, so I got to go out and investigate the yard-MY yard! Those leaves are still falling off the trees and every time you step on them they make a 'crunch' sound. And forget about the hill behind the house-that was like a booby trap of crunches! I heard one there...and then again over there! Who's sneaking around? Mom went to get her camera and left me hooked on the chair here. She wanted to take photos of the 'purdy' leaves that are still stuck on the branches of some of her bushes and trees. She's funny.
I did notice little 'dig' marks in the grass and dirt, like something was looking for nuts, etc. That drives me crazy!
I guess I'll be settling in soon for the long winter.

Lion's den

Don't I look comfy on that faux fur throw? My mom mom stayed over last week for a few days and slept on this poufy thing that had to be filled up with a mini 'whiz whiz'. Got that? It's like ma's bed but it was on the floor and as you can see I could get on it very easily. Mom mom wanted me to sleep with her the first night she was there. Ma walked by and I was all stretched out and had that 'don't touch me' look in the eye. She agreed. And as she thought, about 5 am I came back to the high up bed, jumped up and woke her up! HA HA! So that was the first and last time I've been out of the basement for a while. Ma hates to do it, but she is a light sleeper and can't have me walking on her all night.

Me and the almost birthday boy

2006-10-19T00:20:00.000-04:00

My human bro Sean will turn 20 on the 24th. Is that old or what? Ma is really old you know, like more than twice Sean's age. So I agreed to pose with him today. Mom wanted to show off the leaves she added around the door. Why? I don't know. Leaves should stay on the trees or when they are this color- on the ground. (Dudes-I think these are fake!)

Ma also did a really weird thing tonight. She put water in her mouth from the big drink bottle and a terrible noise came out of her! Like a *gargle*gargle*!! I didn't know what to think, but I did a double take when she did it more than once. Then I ignored her by licking my leg.

My pimp kitty name....

Pimp Daddy Cosmo Slither!!
Whatcha think Zeus?

Say what?

2006-10-11T00:52:00.000-04:00

Mom, why did you make me go sit over here? You know that when you sit on the floor, I want to see what you are up to and will walk on your lap or whatever stuff is in front of you.
Then you get the 'flashy box' out and start taking photos of 'stuff' you say is for eBay. 'E' who? I don't know who that is. Anywho, thanks again for making my eyes glow!
You just had to take my photo again.. and again.
It's not even Halloween time yet.

Rocky Raccoon

2006-10-02T00:39:00.000-04:00

My mom is so funny...the other day she said out of the blue-" I should have called Cosmo-Rocky Raccoon!" Yeah, the guys knew what you meant-I have a raccoon type tail with the black stripes. But what's the Rocky part? Well partly because of Rocky from the movie and it's a Beatle tune and dad likes their music. I like this part of the song, the other words are complete hogwash:
D'da d'da d'da da da da
D'da d'da d'da da da da
D'da d'da d'da da d'da d'da d'da d'da
Do do do do do do
What do you think? Do I look more like a Cosmo or a Rocky Raccoon?
I heard mom throwing around other boy names once like Jorge and Jonty (is she kidding?) just because she thinks they are fun to say and they are actual people on tv. No human kiddos on the way-whew! Sean, my human bro is almost 20.

The ahhh factor

2006-09-24T00:04:00.000-04:00

So here I am all cozy on my ma. (Ma has a pillow on her lap). Dad had to get that 'flashy box' and disturb my harmony.He does this all the time for some reason. I think he is jealous or something.

Chalk one up for me!

2006-09-15T23:42:00.000-04:00

Today was the yearly trip to the v-e-t. Mom brought up the blue cage and wiped it off and unscrewed the top. Yeah, I was watching...she didn't think I was. When it came time, they (the human bro) treated me like a Thanksgiving turkey-stuffing me in 'the pot' (cage) and putting the lid on to let me cook for a while. How mean is all that? So I started crying in the driveway and they both laughed (she let my human bro drive). I was miserable the entire way.
When we got there it smelled like about a dozen doggies had the runs. Even mom gagged! They lead us to a room and the assistant got the scale. I moved around a bit, but she settled on the weight-14 pds. 7 oz! Whoa! I was 13 pds 13 oz last year. Yeah, I like the food in those pouches and rarely leave any leftovers in the dish. The vet came in and she was young and new. Dr. Corinna had the highest voice-kinda got on my nerves. She said my teeth looked fine. But I heard her say to give me only half a pouch (1.5 oz of food in the morning and evening-is she crazy?) I can have a few servings of dry food (1/4 cup each). I got my rabies shot and didn't even cringe. So there! Diet-I'll not starve-I plan on practicing my begging at least 20 times a day now. And get this...when I was waiting for ma to pay the bill, stuck back in the cage, Ma and Sean were making a big fuss over this white fluffy cat with a pink nose and lips. She thought it was a girl, but it was a boy named 'Larry'! HA-I heard her say that mom-mom would like him. Oh great. Sean really liked him-the heck with them. Back to vocalizing!!

Let me outta here!

2006-09-13T18:28:00.000-04:00

Gang, it's been a rough day. Mom was putting that stinky stain stuff on my favorite window and kept telling me to stay away from it all day. The entire house stinks thanks to her. About 4:30, I couldn't take it anymore and up I went on the window! Well she had a bird and put me down the basement for punishment. I did leave some pawprints in the stuff (told you I would). I heard her saying (in my position on the top step under the door), that she needs to sand it and add more stinky stuff to it! The funniest thing was when she went to pour herself more ice tea, it was milk instead!! Ha ha you mean lady!!
This is me looking at her using the 'flashy box' outside. She did have me out for a long time to 'clear her head' and to make me tired. It didn't work, did it!?

Cute

After your 'buggy' ride, you can go play with your toys-that look like sushi!

Cat bonding

2006-09-11T23:27:00.000-04:00

Remember I told you about my uncle adopting a little tuxedo (I think) he named Langston? Well, didn't that little guy go and bond with his doggie brother Baxter the dalmation! My uncle was telling mom-mom this and she told mom. Now, it's not really unusual because the cat and dog are together all day. I, of course am bonded with ma. She said when I first came into the house, she'd sit on the floor with a big towel over her and let me climb in her lap. Dad did a few things that scared me and I hurt ma bad-twice. I snagged her across the palm of her left writing hand! She had about a two inch long deep scratch. The only thing that would heal it was that glue stuff. Dad had startled me when it happened. The other time, he tossed me on the soffie which made me mad and scared me and I ran across to ma and bit her on her right lower arm. I left a puncture in her arm and she cried because she was more upset that I wasn't going to love her. Well, I do and tonight I am keeping to myself because she keeps yelling at me to get off the windowsill. She is getting ready to put some stinky stain on the wood. I heard dad and her talking about how to keep me off of it until the stain dries. Are they crazy! I hate that stinky stuff. But, wouldn't it be funny if I left a few paw prints in it like they do at the place in Hollywood? Hee, hee!

Almost a CATastrophe!

2006-09-07T15:40:00.000-04:00

Ma was out looking around the yard today. She hasn't been doing this a lot lately, I think she's getting ready to hibernate for the winter or something! Boy does she have a love of stuff to put away! Ha!
Anyhoo, when she went to come in the front door, I scooted out. She hasn't let me 'be free' without the harness since the 'hill incident'. I was sniffing around, minding my own kitty business when I stopped dead in my tracks in front of the big evergreen. I could not believe my eyes! Ma thought I saw a squirrel or bird, but it was my archenemy the tuxedo cat from a few doors down! Ma scooped me up and almost threw me in the door! Well I stood at that door and Ma said I sounded like a bull-making noises through my nose, hissing, growling, etc.! Ma closed the door and ushered me into the kitchen for some Feline Greenies. I will say they helped a lot. Treats usually do. I'll be watching for Mr. Tuxedo!
