Happy Mother's Day

Zeke and Sushi and I gave Mom a card this morning and it made her almost cry. She told me it was because she loves us so much and she was happy. I do not understand why being happy almost made her cry.

We also wish our Grandma and all of your Moms a very

Happy Mother's Day

with lots of snuggles and prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs and head bumps and tail wags.

It's Cold Out Here!

The temperature is supposed to get as low as 6 degrees here tonight and 1 degree tomorrow night and I am so very glad that I am an inside kittie. We have decided to ignore what it will do to our need for green papers and keep the furnace turned up so our house stays comfortable.

There are a lot of kitties living outside near our home and I have been concerned about them. My Daddy says they have a good place to go to keep warm so they should be OK. If it stays cold for more than a couple of days Mom says she will put out some food for them.

We hope you do not have to deal with all the snow the weather people keep saying is on its way. We hope the power does not go out. We also hope you are all able to stay warm!

A Big Surprise

We had some excitement here tonight. When Mom got home from her day hunting I was sitting on the rug watching under the desk that is next to the door. Sushi came to the door to say hello to Mom and then she started sniffing around the desk too. A little later my Daddy moved some stuff around trying to find whatever we were looking at but he did not see anything.

I got bored so I took a nap under the blue comforter but Sushi would not give up. Finally I heard a lot of noise from the living room so I decided to go see what was going on.

What do you think had happened? Can you guess?

If you guessed that a little mouse ran out from behind the bookcase and tried to escape into the kitchen you would be right! It did not escape very well though because Sushi jumped on it and bit it and it died. That probably should have been my job but Sushi did it very well since I was not in the room.

My Daddy picked it up and put it in a box and took it out to the dumpster. Mom really really hopes that more mice do not try to move into our house. I think she would put poison out under our house if there were not so many snakes and feral cats who live around here.

A Milestone!

I am going to be 5 years old in a few months. I have lived with Mom and my Daddy for all but 6 weeks of my life. Last night for the first time ever I jumped up and snuggled down between Mom's leg and the arm of the couch and stayed there for about a squillion hours. (It was more like one hour and I was thrilled! ~ Mom) Yes Mom was happy. I am sure she does not know I just needed the body heat.

The Great Tumbleweed Migration of 2010

Today was the start of the Great Tumbleweed Migration of 2010. Sadly the tumbleweeds ran into the obstacle of our home. Mom took these pictures from our front porch:

You can see that our grill and swing are almost covered when Mom started taking the pictures.

Then the tumbleweeds really started piling up.

And then the grill and swing were almost completely covered! This happened in the time it took Mom to take 6 pictures!

The sound in this video is the wind:

The wind blew so hard this morning that one of the tumbleweeds shattered the window in our bedroom. Now we have a big piece of plywood over the window and the bed is in the middle of the room instead of against the wall. It is after 9:00 p.m. now and the wind is still blowing very hard. Mom says we will have new glass put in the window when the wind stops blowing. I hope she is telling the truth because I cannot see outside now when I sit on the bed.

Even though Mom helped moving the tumbleweeds away from the house my Daddy hurt himself moving them. They left the ones that landed against the back fence and on our back porch because they were blowing in faster than Mom and my Daddy could move them out.

Sushi and Zeke do not like going out in this wind but they have to (hahahahaha). I know it is not nice to laugh at them but now is when I am glad I have a litter box!

I hope you are not having to deal with wind like this. I hope those of you who had a lot of snow are doing OK and that the power is back on for those who lost it. And I hope those of you who had a lot of rain in California did not get flooded out. I hope that our new year does not have this kind of weather!

Have a Wonderful Christmas!

I hope you enjoy this video I found:

Mom and my Daddy join Zeke and Sushi and me in wishing everyone a very

Merry and Blessed Christmas!

Kibble Trouble

My woofie Zeke does not really like kibbles. If he never had to eat another kibble in his life he would be very happy. Mom says he has to eat some anyway because he needs them to keep his teeth at least a little bit clean.

So even though they get stinky goodness in the morning Zeke and Sushi can nibble a kibble any time they want because there are always kibbles in a special bowl on the floor near the water dish. Zeke says that if he has to eat kibbles they should be on the floor instead of in a dish ~ to make it easy for him to get to them (he does not always get his way). This is what usually happens when he gets hungry enough for his kibbles:
