Research

I'm doing research. I'm trying to find out the bestest places to take naps. So far, I think napping on desks on piles of papers is the best place!

Don't you agree?

I'm a Very Busy Cat

So yesterday I was a very busy cat. I did a lot. So here is a photo blog of my activities.


First, I drank out of the toilet. GoG called me "pottycat" when she saw the pictures.

Then, I guarded the evil uitcase-say.

Then I nommed my catnip sock.















Then I tried to drink out of the toilet again, but I got caught.















Then I woke up the Grump and got her Grumpy.
















Then back on guard duty with Tiria.














Then I played with my sock again.

















And then I ran around like a "mane -ee- ack" because I enjoy my kitty crack. And then I crashed on the bed and looked cute. And that was my day. It was great. How was yours?

Last Year In A Nutshell

GoG did this on her blog. So now I am gonna do it. Because it IS my blog, after all. Henry's not allowed. It should be fun. What you do is...
Take the first sentence from the first blog entry of each month. Easy, and a very good way to compress your year.

2008

January
GoG brought something home in a box.

Superbowl ( someone explain to this Brit the significance)- love it or hate it?
I like it, but I don't like it. (From a Friday Five.)

You can too. (In reference to an anti-animal cruelty pledge.)

It just isn't [fair].

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. (Friday Five)


This is a no-tag game, but I encourage you to play!

Picture Tag

Okay, GoG, we will play now.

The object of picture tag is to...
1. Choose the 4th folder on your computer where you keep/store your pictures.
2. Select the 4th picture in the folder
3. Explain the picture
4. Tag 4 people to do the same! No cheating (cropping, editing, etc)

For this we will be using Short Girl's picture folders, and give our individual interpretations. Then Short Girl will explain.

Tiria's take: She is investigating Animal Heroes under cover. I like this picture.

Henry's take: Hmmm... OOO!! I know! She is trying to trace my family tree. I knew I must be descended from tigers.

Short Girl's take: We went to the zoo, and a tiger was walking around, which is unusual in December. GoG took a picture.

We tag...

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.
