COOL SUNDAY

Having a very lazy day. Sleepin' here and there around the house...wherever I can find a warm spot. Some how it got a little chilly so I had to fluff up and curl up. MM is keeping me warm in our chair while I blog.

She got busy and put all those pretty decorations up around here. It's all sparkly and pretty but some of it I'm not allowed to play with! Hmph! Oh, well, I have plenty of mouses!

A Wish to all

We wish to all floofies and doggies and their moms and dads

A beautiful Thanksgiving! Purrs and hugs, Emma and MM

Fall in Texas

It's a lazy Monday with the sun shining in on my window sill, and leaves slowly falling from the trees. I'm sitting in a chair with a cushion in it, and sunlight to keep my warm. Just want to sleep today.

World Series

Go Rangers!

Merry Monday

Today started off furry nicely as I cuddled with MM in bed for a while. She scritched my neck and ears sooo good. After we got up I spent some time watching a red bird in the yard and enjoying the sun. Nap again and then play with the new scratching post. Yes, we finally took a picture of it to share. It's a good one!

Tuesday Tales

Quiet day at home by myself for most of the day. MM went to her mom's so I just slept all over the house, and played with some toys. My uncle, MM's brother, made me a new scratching post that is really cool so I broke that in a little too.

MM has been reading Cat Fancy and getting some ideas about my diet. She has been trying some new 'healthier' foods, and we discovered that I kinda' like chicken (at least for a while). Mostly I have only wanted fish stuff but guess trying new things is ok, too.

Monday MMMmmmm

Home From the Hills

After many days in the mountains, we finally came home tonight. It was beeautifullll there and I had some fun new adventures. Besides our hiking, MM fixed it so I could stay outside without her worrying about me getting into trouble. I have my own play yard/tent. We watched the ground squirrels and chipmonks and some new birdies that I had never seen before. They flew right down in my face and watched me too. At night I slept with MM and MD usually under the covers by their feet as it got sorta cold.
Also chased grasshoppers and ate grass...ooh, puuuurrrssss! So fun.

Gettin' out of town and away from the heat

It's time to head for the hills and away from all this hot! I'm packing up and going to Colorado. Got my halter, leash, and carsick pill (myucky!). I want to get outside and take a walk with MM and MD. Also MM found me a kitty play yard so I can stay outside with them more. It's sort of like a mesh tent for floofies! That should be fun. See y'all when we get back!f3

Freaky Friday

Having a catnip moment so please excuse me as I tear up the place...meeaahaha!

We will share a painting MM's mom made of her white kitty, Grinchie, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge many years ago.

Happy World Cat Day

Everyone have a beautiful day and remember all our furriends everywhere.

Wordless Wednesday

Hunting Wild Game

Yesterday I got to stalk a wild salamander (I think) in MM and MD's bedroom. We don't know how it got there but it's the second one in the last week that got into the house. Anyway, I pounced on that critter and chased it around the bed. It was very tiny but ferocious-well, sorta irritated maybe. But I got him! Grrrr

Maniac Monday

We haven't been online for a while. MM says we caught a virus and had to send the computers to the doctor to be debugged. Think she was going through withdrawall last week. But we are back! Today I am following MM around the house as she scoops out stuff and moves everything around. Seems we are having a big party soon for all the birthday beans in our family...a bunch! When she slows down, I play with my little white ball, and check out some of the things she has pulled out. At least she is home for a while. Too hot to go anywhere anyway. Stay cool, y'all.

End of the week

Reeowr! Outside there is lots of booming but no rain yet. Had a really loud cracking boom and lots of rain. We all jumped and the lights went out.
Earlier we found some cool animals in our backyard so MM took their pictures. There were two baby bluejays and a tired squirrel. And we saw some butterflies,too, but they are too fast to get pictures. Hadn't seen my lizard buddy in a while. It's fun to look around out there, but awful hot now.

Later I found a new napping place in MM T-shirt drawer. She accidentally left it open..ha ha.
Have an adventerous weekend.

Tuesday Talk

Today I have a few complaints to share with friends. (1)My favorite window shelf fell down 2 weeks ago and NO ONE has fixed it yet! (2)Why can't I have MM and MD's tuna...it's better than what I get! (3)Why can't my MM stop what she is doing to listen to me and play with me all the time? (4) And please SCOOP when I remind you (MM) that it's time! MM should understand what "MMREEOOWWWWW!!!" means by now.

That's all for now. Must play soccer now. We gotta find my soccer ball...it's under somethin'.

Another Toesday...giggle

Too hot to do much here so we decided to just be silly!

Springtime cont'd

Springtime in the Wet Mountains

Monday

Wheee! It's time to head to the mountains! Gotta get my calming collar out, pack my harness and leash, litterbox, and other travel gear. Please send up a purr-ayer for us to have a safe trip, and that I don't get carsick!
Can't wait to see all my mountain furriends...the deer, chipmonks, birdies, but no bears. MD was checking the weather and it sounds good. Cool in the morning and mild afternoons. Hike hike hike! I'll tell MM to take some good pictures to share.

Trippin' Tuesday

Today was the test run for my new Calming Collar. Don't know how calm I was going to see my kitty doctor tho'. I voiced my displeasure all the way there for all the good it did. Once we got there, I moved to the very back of my carrier and stayed there as long as I could. The doctor's assistant weighed me, poked me, and stuck me...reeoww! Then she announced that I am now a 'mature cat'. Excuse me? MM was no help at all. She said that we could be old ladies together! Purrlease! I am NOT old. Of all the nerve.

I was quiet going home and very happy to find a nice spot at home where I could think this over and regain some feline dignity. (And watch for my lizard in the sunlight.)

Wed.- got words...

So warm today. I want to play and run and nap in the sun.
Told MM all about it but she thought I was just bein' whiney! Oh, well, it was ok 'cause she gave me a good brushing and a cuddle.

Last week MM bought a new 'calming collar' for me to try when we have to ride in the car. Maybe it will make me feel better when I gotta ride. We will report on the results soon in case some other floofies want to try one during stressful times.

A Little Nostalgia

Today MM has been sorting through some old photos and trying to clean out some stuff. I thought about helping but the window ledge called to me so after checking out how things were going, I decided to nap and enjoy the quiet. She interupted me to show me some pictures of my predecessors...so many floofies!! MM must be really OLD to have had so many kitties! And she says that's not all of them...just can't find pictures of them all. I can see in her eyes how much she loved them and misses each one so guess I'll cuddle her a little to make her feel better.

(these date from about 1958-1999)
Tammy and George, Cuddles, Princess, ZsaZsa, Sugar Pie, Mija, Dum-Dum I & II, Spooky, Tiger, Miss Kitty, Cherbono, Pajorige...not necessarily in that order. My beautiful babies!!mm

I'm bored!

Nothin' to do today so I keep talking to MM about it but she just sits in her chair sleeping or watching Animal Planet. She had to see her people doctor yesterday and has to take it easy but this is ridiculous...I want to play! Well, maybe I can find something to do. There is a ping pong ball around here somewhere, and lots of toy mices. Wish there was a buddy for me...hmmm. We saw some really pretty kitties on Cats 101-maybe we could get one of those. We'll have to talk about this...MM, MD, and me. Later furriends!

Thursday in Pictures

Monday Sunshine

Hey, the sun is shining again! It's been gone so long we almost forgot what it looked like. I have checked out all the windows and there is sunshine everywhere. And something else very exciting ...the wet snow/mud has brought lots of robins, bluejays,cardinals, and a few other little birdies! They are so funny to watch while sitting in the nice warm sunshine. Hope you are all enjoying today too!

shivering Thursday

Snow has been coming down all day here. MM took me out to test it but discovered I don't like cold toeses! I'll keep an eye on the frosty stuff to make sure it stays outside.
Yesterday MM brought me a surprise from her shopping trip which made me really happy. She gave me fling-ama-string. What fun! Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends.

Very Soggy Thursday

Acting silly today...running up and down stairs, stealing MM's warm spot on the bed, and tricked her while playing hide & seek. I didn't go seek...hahahaha... then took off running again. Played ferocious hunter from the top of my condo till nap time. Now I'm going to try to sleep even tho' there is all this booming outside and that rain stuff just keeps coming down.

Catnip!

Poor Maxi

Grandma's kitty, Max, had his male "surgery" today! Sorry Max but you'll feel better soon. In the meantime, we're freezing our toesies off here! Thus my new photo...warmer climes!

Tuesday teaseday

My people seem to have had a great time on New Year's Day when they also had their family Christmas. I couldn't go 'cause Sparky, Zoe, and I don't get along, and the party was at their house. But I got a present when MM and MD came home! Really fun cube thingy! MM put some catnip inside it and I just went crazy...so much fun!
Today we've been cuddling a lot to keep warm. North Texas is having a really cold spell this week. But we're going to play and have fun staying inside. Hide and seek!! Picture of Sparky as Santa Claws, Zoe, and me in my cube.
