I am Back (sort of)!

Mom asked me to say Thank You to everyone who sent her encouraging comments as she does not not feel very good. We all appreciated reading them and they made her feel better even though she is still coughing.

I also need to thank a couple of you for giving me these great awards:

This one is from Maggie and Zoey and Ann at Zoolatry. It was very sweet of them to think of me!

This one is from Herman and Karen Jo. They think I am a Superior Scribbler even though Mom helps me with my spelling and grammar!

The Super Scribbler award was started by The Scholastic Scribe to celebrate their two hundredth post two years ago. To read more about the award go here. Here are the rules for this award:

1. Each Superior Scribbler (SS) must pass the Award on to 5 deserving blogger friends.

2. Each SS must link the author and name of the blog from whom he/she received the award.

3. Each SS must display the award on his/her blog and link to the post which explains the award.

4. Each SS is asked to visit the post which explains the award and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List (I just made a comment - I couldn't figure out how to add to the Mr. Linky list.)

5. Each SS must post these rules on his/her blog.

Now it is very difficult to whittle down the choices to just 5 other bloggers but here they are: Army of Four, Asta, Chase, Clover and Chewy and William of Mass Destruction.

I hope it is not so long between posts next time! And I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Apologies

It has been a long time since my last post and I thought it was about time to let you know what has been going on. I am sure it will not surprise any of you to learn that it is all Mom's fault. She says she has been sick even though I told her she was not allowed to be sick. She feels well enough to go to her day hunting place (at least most of the time ~ she did come home early once) but when she gets home mostly all she does is sit on the couch like a lump or go to bed. I am glad she has learned how to be still like a kitteh but that means that she does not help me blog!

We have tried to keep up with at least reading your blogs but we have not done any commenting in about a squillion days. So I am making Mom apologize for not leaving comments. It is all her fault. I keep telling her what comments to make but she keeps ignoring me. She says she does not have enough energy to do what she knows she should.

It is true that she coughs and sneezes and whines and moans and groans a lot. (I do not! At least not that much whining I hope. ~ Mom) I guess I should try to be patient with her. After all I am a kitteh and that means I can sit here and stare at her for as long as I need to. Wait ~ maybe I should make her go to her people VET. Yes! After all she makes me go even when I do not need to so she should go when she looks like she really needs it. Maybe someone will stick her with a sharp thingy and steal her blood! Maybe she will have to take some icky tasting meds! Bwahahahahahahahaha! Ohhhh poor Mom.

So anyway we are not ignoring you. I hope Mom feels better enough soon so I can start commenting again. I hope you are all doing better than she is!!!

Whew!

I had Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys White Meat Chicken and Cheddar Cheese Souffle with Garden Greens for dinner tonight. Thank you for all your support after my previous post. Your comments were 100% in agreement with me. That means 0% thought Mom and my Daddy had a leg to stand on!

Now I have to wonder if 4 cans are enough. Mom says Friday is payday (whatever that means) and that I will be getting many more cans before the weekend is over. But ~ that is a squillion sleeps away and I am still just a little bit concerned. I will believe her for now.

At least I can sleep with my tummy full tonight!

Tuesday Tale of Woe

I think it is possible that I might waste away to shadow tonight. I think maybe Mom and my Daddy are deliberately unintentionally trying to starve me. What else can I think when I learn there is no stinky goodness in the house?! Both of them have been out and either one of them could have brought home more stinky goodness but they claim they forgot it. I think they really just forgot me. They say that one of them will pick some up tomorrow but I think that might be just a little bit too late for me.

Mom says there are plenty of kibbles in my bowl and in the storage bin. How am I supposed to be comfortable sleeping tonight with just kibbles and no stinky goodness? Hmmmmmmm ~ maybe I will not sleep. After all I must do something to remind them that I am not a happy kitteh!

Maybe Mom should keep her fingers away from me tonight!

It Is Now 2010!

Meowerry Christmas!

Secret Paws!

Our Secret Paws package arrived! Mom put it near the tree and I was just a little bit afraid she would make us wait until Christmas to open it. So I thwapped the box off the table and sent in the woofies to check it out. After Zeke and Sushi told Mom it was safe I patted it down just in case. The next safety step was x-raying the box ~ you cannot be too careful with those woofies around! I gave the green light and 'thumbs' (aka Mom) popped open a case of goodies! Woofies to the end of the line please! I supervised the unpacking. Sushi at least remembered her place in line. Zeke is just old and grumpy so I cut him some slack. Hmmm that packing paper was interesting. Zeke saw something interesting while I waited patiently to get my paws on the good stuff. You can see the feathers under Zeke's neck. Oooh soft balls! Hey who wrapped them ~ spiderman? Zeke's gifts were this great set of soft balls and a package of Cesar soft roasted chicken treats. They are just what he wanted! At first Sushi tried to help Mom set the balls free but then she realized she had some presents of her own. She got these great chicken-wrapped rawhide chewies and a red stuffy with rope arms. Way to go woofie! Hmmm Zeke had a problem ~ Mom is playing with Sushi and her toy instead of throwing his ball. How does that taste Sushi? Showbirds ~ all they want is your birdseed. I will enjoy showing her how I play! Both of my presents have feathers and I love them! These bouncy feathers were fun to play with. Mom and I chased each other around the room and I caught the feathers every time she tried to bounce them away. Some of our action shots are not very clear. It never hurts to double check the packing ~ there might be something tiny to chew on. See what I mean? Sheesh ~ those woofies would have missed my jewelry! Wait ~ this is how I can play with my new bouncy feathers when Mom and my Daddy ignore me have other things they need to do. For an old geezer Zeke still has a quick snapper. He almost caught that one. He has already lost this yellow ball and my Daddy has found it for him several times. That is one of his very favorite games! Sushi loves her perfect stuffy. I am sorry to have to report that she has gutted it several times already and Mom and my Daddy have given up re-stuffing it. Do not think that has made any difference in how much she loves it tho ~ she still thinks it is perfect. Can any of you guess who was our Secret Santa? I could not until Mom showed me the beautiful cards that were included with presents. It was our lovely new friend Katie! Her Glogirly helped her wrap and pack everything and sent us all these wonderful gifts. Mom even tried to get a picture of all the gifts together with the cards but we were so excited about them that we would not leave them alone long enough for that. If you click on this picture it will biggify so you can see the card better. Now I can tell you that we were Katie's Secret Paws too and we had a lot of fun choosing and wrapping her presents. We are glad we have such great friends!
