Catmas

Catmas was very wonderful. I got a bag of Greenies. Chicken Greenies. Which GoG has not been giving me for a while (I think she has forgotten what her name means for the past few months). So Bearded Scritcher gave them to me. Mmmmmm... I haven't had chicken Greenies before. They are delicious. I ate them all, then asked for more, and when I didn't get any, I ate the rest of the tuna ones (The Grump's) and the beef ones (Henry's). They each got their own bag, but they didn't finish and I was still hungry, so I cleaned up the mess. Except The Grump's weren't as good because she only eats the head of each Greenie and spits out the tail so they were covered in spit. Henry ate some of his and one of the Grump's. Then Short Girl pulled out the Horrible Noisy Thing from her stocking. GoG said it was a joke gift. It made horrible noises that sounded like cats in pain or really mad or something. But none of us liked it. Everytime she tried to move it away, it made that noise. I shudder at the thought. Uhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggg. Then it disappeared and we haven't heard it since. Henry says she stuffed it in her closet. I'm glad.
Then at dinner, I was not given any meat. Apparently, this thing that smells delicious is called "Hammm." And it seems I will get sick if I eat it. Well, I still want it. It's my choice wether or not I want to be sick, yes? But no hammm for this cat on Catmas. Oh well. I have my Greenies. That'll have to be enough.

Friday Five: Countdown to Christmas Edition

Songbird writes-

It's true.

There are only five full days before Christmas Day, and whether you use them for shopping, wrapping, preaching, worshiping, singing or traveling or even wishing the whole darn thing were over last Tuesday, there's a good chance they will be busy ones.

So let's make this easy, if we can: tell us five things you need to accomplish before Christmas Eve.


1. Help the Humans get the meat ready for Christmas dinner. I hope it's chicken.

2. Help them decorate the tree. I'm sure they'll need an extra paw hanging ornaments.

3. Convince Henry that it is fun to let me sleep in on Christmas day.

4. Convince Tiria that it is fun to play tag to wake up the Humans on Christmas day.

5. Sleep. I concur.

Merry Christmas to All!

Friday Five: Windows of the Soul

Sophia from RevGalBlogPals:

This Friday Five is inspired by my husband's Lasik surgery yesterday....He'd been contemplating it for a while and was pushed over the edge by the fact that we put too much money in our healthcare spending account this year and it would have been gone anyway. (There was only enough for one eye, but the kind people at the eye clinic figured out a way to divvy up the charges between surgery and followup in January=next year's spending account). So please say a little prayer for his safe recovery and share with us your thoughts on eyes and vision.

1. What color are your beautiful eyes? Did you inherit them from or pass them on to anyone in your family?
Mine are blue-grey, a very lovely shade. Mine are green, but sometimes they look sorta yellow.

2. What color eyes would you choose if you could change them?
Well, when you have the perfect eye color, what can be changed? I would like eyelashes though. I want orange eyes, bright orange. Orange is cool.

3. Do you wear glasses or contacts? What kind? Like 'em or hate 'em?
No, of course not, I'm a cat. Well, duh, no.

4. Ever had, or contemplated, laser surgery? Happy with the results?
ONCE again, no. No I'm a cat.

5. Do you like to look people in the eye, or are you more eye-shy?
I am very eye-shy. I like to look them in the eye.

Bonus question: Share a poem, song, or prayer that relates to eyes and seeing.

Thanking God For You Friday Five

Singing Owl-

Phillipians 1:3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.

I'm musing about giving thanks for people today, partly because Americans celebrated our annual Thanksgiving holiday yesterday (I try not to just make this holiday "turkey day" even though its main feature seems to be eating till one is nearly comatose) and partly because I read the above verse this morning. It started me thinking about individuals in my life for whom I give thanks. For this post-Thanksgiving Day Friday Five, share with us "Five People For Whom You Give Thanks to God" and maybe tell us why they are significant.

1. GoG- Well, she give me Greenies and she lets me sit on her foot. She makes a great study buddy.
2. Bearded Scritcher- His feet are a good place to sleep, because they're warm and don't squirm. He scritches me and doesn't try to pick me up.
3. The Grump- Even though she's rude to me, she still lets me eat her food sometimes. She is always rude to me, but I am becoming a more tolerant cat. Also it makes it more fun to chase her.
4. Tiria- She plays with me sometimes, games like boxing and tag (I think she is impressed that I can fight off The Grump).
5. Henry- He plays with me, and also gives me chin rubs.

ALL is forgiven

ALL is forgiven. ALL is well...

Giver of Greenies came home. She made the uitcase-say go away...

And she brought me a present. It smells sooooo good. Right now it's in the Cold Box of Yummeh Smells. It looked like this:


I have marked the door of the Cold Box. But I'm feeling happy and so thankful that I might even share some of it with Stinky Boy Cat and The Grump.

Purrrrring with anticipation...

Bad Girl. BAD BAD BAD!!!!

Giver of Greenies is a BAD Girl. She is BAD BAD BAD!

She packed an uitcase-say. It's never good. NEVER. I am. NOT. happy.



I am guarding the steps so that she can't leave. Do you think it will work??

And this is MY blog. MINE.

Nice Cat Ladies

Giver of Greenies says that the peoples who loved on me and helped me find my forever home might visit this blog. I want the Nice Cat Ladies to know that I have a great life. I mean, I have a lot to do. They need me.

After all, I AM KING!

I have four Hooomans and two girlie cats to keep an eye on every day. There's also a slithery thing but it keeps to itself most of the time. Oh... and it is selfish. It won't share its food, which smells MOST yummehlicious. It IS kitteh-take-out smelling stuff.

So after all this snoopervising, I need a nap...


Usually when I've had a good nap, then I get wuzzled. It's OK. I love my peeps.

After nap-thirty, it's time for my peeps to do homework. I help String Puller with spelling.


I work on Algebra... not my fave. But I'm helpful. I check the pencil erasers and clean them.

Then I study Spanish. Other than el gato es muy guapo... what else do you need to know? SI! Es verdad!


Then I snoopervise oboe and harp playing. Right now I'm counting a piece for String Puller. She has lots of squiggly notes in this piece. She taught me how to count for her... annaone annatwo...

I'm exhausted. It's nap-o'clock...


Time to do chores. Cleaning the drain...


Inspecting the faucet...


And then I need to hold this box down. It's floating.

More later. I have things to uh.... think about. With my eyes closed so that I can uh.... concentrate. Yeah. That's it.

Cordially --
