Internation Box Day

Thank you Zoolatry for this graphic and the idea behind

International Box Day.  I love boxes of all kinds and

try to get into all different type of boxes even little ones

that hold my Mom's skin creams.  I can not fit more than a

hand so Mom provides better boxes to hang out in.

This box is the purrfect size for me to fit in and explore
with a purr pad as a comfort and interest item.  The first

thing I do with a box is do a full sniff inspection to find

out everything about this box.  Each box is different and has

to pass my test before I deem it acceptible.

I get new boxes every once in a while because the

old boxes become stale after some time.  This gives

variety since my Mom says there is not enough room

in the home to have a lot of boxes.  I say the more boxes

the better and I usually go back to things I ignore after

some time. Mom says that I do have boxes in the house just

different ones that appear one at a time.

Have a Happy International Box Day

Wordy Wednesday

I did not have to go anywhere yesterday as I was acting

very happy and purry.  The yaking scared my Mom, but I showed

her how good I was by having an extended purring session with

her by laying on top of her and not letting her get up.  I put my

paws on her to hold her down.  Once she soaked up my warm kitty

heat she knew I was find.  I then did some rolls that she loves to see.

I even got a little bit naughty and started to scratch the carpet.

Once I did this naughty thing Mom knew that I was going to be

fine without having to be checked out.  I told Mom that it is okay

to worry about me, but that I have signals if I am not well and that

my last V-E-T visit I passed with flying colors except for needing to lose weight

Tortie Tuesday

I am on the top of the computer chair in order

to reassure her that I am feeling ok after having

a little bit of yak this evening.  I had eaten

really fast and then started running after eating.

She gets so worried over these things, but I said I

was just going real fast and did not chew my food all

the way.  This Tortie Tuesday she will keep an eye on

me to see if I yak again before making the dreaded appointment

to the V-E-T.  So  I am going on the chair to say that I am well and

there is no need to go to the V-E-T. After mewing for a treat

I think I can duck the appointment.

P.S. Mom was happy today because my tail was high and I purred and purred.  She was just extra worried with the way I was yakking.  It was really loud and slimy now that I am okay I am not going

to the V-E-T.  She always likes to wait to see how my tail is before making a decision it

is my indicator of wellness.  PURRS Willow

Mighty Monday

I was a mighty hunter and took some cards from my Mom

and rolled in them to show my supreme ability at getting prey 

  away from the human.  Paper is my prey most of the time

and I take great joy in biting and ripping them into little bits.

I took one of the cards and really started to bite into

because they are very tasty.  Mom has to hide cards

                             that are important to her so I do not bite and rip those
                             cards.  With my love of paper it is important to keep these
                                      hidden so they are not attacked by me.

This was fuzzy picture taken by my Mom, but if you biggify

the picture the evidence of my prey's bite marks is obvious.

I love destorying paper and even decaptitated and destroyed

two paper people that Mom gave me so I go after the 'appropriate' paper. 

Gotcha Day Presents

First I want to thank all the cats and even some dogs that

came to my Gotcha Day Party.  This has been the biggest  and best party

that I have ever had for my Gotcha Day. 

Sadly there are no pictures of me opening my presents with

my nudging Mom to get it done so there is only the pictures

of the presents.

Even my Mom was surprized when we opened the box

there were two purr pads that came from Dr. Foster's and

Smith.  So one was put inside my new box that the

presents came from.  Having a padded box makes it

more fun for me and it keeps the box longer in the home.

I got a purr pad to put in my castle with the other tortie colored

pad put inside my other bed in Mom's room.  These pads are

always being changed so I will not get bored looking at one

of the pads.  The purr pad feels a little differen there are times

I like it and other times that it gets kicked off of the castle bed.

Finally there was a surprize Mom got me a small little

bed for the living room.  She said that a different bed

would be good to have so that I have more options.

I have investigated it and I am unsure of this present.

I have gone on it, but it seems small.  I will probably go

on it, but right now I am making like it is not my favorite thing.

Award-Gotcha Day Edition

Welcome to My Gotcha Day celebration and

enjoy playing with one of my stash of toys. My Mom

likes to buy me a lot of toys.

Mom had always wanted to have a cat and when she  was younger,

but she never was able to get an animal.  When she was in her Senior

year of college there was visiting Theapy Animals that came to relieve

the stress of  college.  There was one cat that came to that was a part

of the program and she knew that she had to get a cat.  So when

she got her BA she looked on the innernets for a cat and found me. Willow.

I got the Kreativ Blogger Award from Athena The Torbie Cat and

wanted to tell 5 facts about my Gotcha Day

1. Purrfect Companions said that I came from a home

with an older lady that had a lot of cats that knew she could not care for me.

2.  She called Purrfect Companions to hellp get me into a foster home where I

was found at an adoption fair by my Mom who told me she had seen

my picture on the internet as being up for adoption.

3.  My name was Willow before I was Gotcha'd and Mom really liked it and

kept it as my forever name since she thought I looked very decliate and 'willowly'

4.  My half mask gave me my first nickname of Phatom because I

looked like I was from the Phatom of the Opera.

5.  When I got home Purrfect Companions said to keep me to one

room, but I wanted out and I took over the total of my home.

Since this is my Gotcha Day I am going to give this award to any cat

that wants to take it in honor of this special day.

I hope you enjoy my Gotcha Day with toys, fish flakes, sardines,

fresh water, niptinis, and catsip.   This is also very random since I

am very EXCITED to be throwing such a big Gotcha Party

PURRS Willow

Invitations

I am invitating every cat to my Gotcha Party tomorrow June 25.

Where I will tell about how I landed up in my home with

my Mom.  I just wanted to make sure to purr to everyone

that I am so excited to be celebrating this 8th Gotcha

Day with my Mom with all of you.

PURRRS

Back of Disrespect

I was caught by my Mom because I just could not resist

going to her after a time of hiding.  I Mew-Mew-Mewed

during the time when she was cleaning and then showed her my

backside  and walked away from her in a huff. 

 I did end up totally forgiving her for her rude behavior

and stayed on her for a purring session.  I love my

Mom even when she is doing these weird human things

that a Cat like myself could take care of on her own.

Purr-chirp what else can you do with them?

Laser Defense

SETTING LASERS ON FULL 

and PAWSITIONING MYSELF BEHIND THE PAPER DEFENSE.

I have a feeling that my Mom is going to clean my tushy

because she saw a bit of *poop* hanging there.  I can sense

when she gets this way since I have rubbed onto the carpet before

and even though I feel better afterward it is still rude of her to do this.

Love can be a pain sometimes and this is why my lasers are going

to stay on ALERT for a time until Mom gets bored.

Tortie Colored Tuesday

I love my Tortie Colored blanket that Mom got me

and use it as a security blanket when I go to the V-E-T, 

I hug onto the blanket during these exams.  Before

it was a real big deal and now I can really hold onto

it and be safe from the V-E-T.

I learned a secret that my Mom has sent for

a purr pad and sleeper for my Gotcha Day on June 25, 2011.

I am awaiting the box and gift, but I will try to act

surprized because I do not want her to be sad about me

knowing about my gift before the right time.

Irresistibly Sweet

I got a sweet award from My Kwee Life who is the Mom

of the Kwee Cats that have just recently got started blogging.

For this award I am supposed to write Seven unknown facts

about me and give it to 15 bloggers.

1. I love when company comes over and I can get more attention

from them and investigate their bags or pocketbooks.

2.  I need to dig and dig after going in the litter so that no

evidence of making is gone to any potential intruders.

3.  I am picky about my litter where I want litter that is fine

and does not hurt my paws when doing my epic dig.

4.  I try to eat the carpet and this had caused an embrassing

thing to happen where stuff *poop* got stuck to my tail.

5.  I have a pouch stomach that sometimes swings when I

start walking very fast around the house.

6. I headbutt very hard and Mom always says to be

careful that I do not hurt my little head when doing that

7. I am not very feminine at times I make a big mess or

smell things like dirty laundry.

I want to give this award out to:

1. Admirial Hestorb Purr for her to take her pills so she can continue to get well

2. Brian's Home Brian from Brian's Home

3. Athena The Torbie Cat

Cosy Sunday

I am having an easier Sunday than normal so 

I declared it to be a Cosy Sunday.

Becoming one with the bed is the best thing to do

on a Sunday and the best way to make your

Easy Sunday even Cosier.

It becomes blissful to get into this position on the bed  by your Mom's leg

and justlet all the worries go. Hope every cat has a happy and

Cosy Sunday

Couch Balance Beam

The edge of the couch is a good way to get from

one end of the living room to the other.  I like to

take this scenic route to get to the lamp when

it turns on. Sometimes I lose focus and start

to look around and right now the ground is more

interesting now than lamp tanning.

Floofy Friday

I am getting ready for a mostly relaxing weekend by

starting to take it easy today.  I have a scheduled

spa weekend where my Mom is going to do my

teeth because I have a stinky breath.  Now I am

going to rest on the bed before the spa treatment.

 

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for the food service that I get from

my Mom that when my dry food dish looks like this

I get a refill.  I also have a variety of stinky goodness

with sardines and lobster in the cans.  It is premo

and I finish it unlike some of them that dried out

too quickly to taste good.My Mom did research to find the

 food that I would love

.  I am also thankful for the tortie colored carpet because

I can decide to catoflague or I can expose my bright

white tummy  for the world to see when I want

attention.  This gives me an undercover mode and

a you just got home and it has been forever since

I saw you mode. 

Wordless Wednesday Movie

 

Tummy Tuesday

 I am getting very bold as I get older where

I try new things that I had never been able to

do before.  I managed to lay on my back with my

head over the side over the bed.  These

antics worry my Mom who does not want me to fall.

I looked at her and told her that I use my tail to keep

 my balance so that I do not fall off the bed.  I trust

Mom to make sure that I am safe so I would not

fall off the bed.

Monorail Monday

Purring and fur blushing a thanks to every cat for

their nice comments about my balance on the chair.

I am very careful when I go up on the chair and make

sure to hug the sides so I do not fall.  I like trying these

things even though it scares my Mom that I might get

hurt, but I am stubborn as a cat that knows what

to do.  Right now I want to be up on the chair

as a Monorail Cat. 

My Computer Chair

I claimed the computer chair as mine when I marked

it with my claws and played with the pieces of

the armchair.  Mom knew it was mine. 

A pillow case was put on top of the computer chair

so there could be no more damage done when

I wanted to get on top of it and rest.

It is one of my special places so I need to do my

kneading of the spot very carefully before resting

on top of my computer chair.

Curious Box

I had seen my Mom using this box and I wanted

to see what it does.  It was not fun so I decided

to smell the rest of the room to see if there was

anything of interest.  When there was nothing

I stretched out to rest next to the bland box.

While the box like thing turned out to be a dud

I did end up getting a real good stretch.

So it was not a total lost

Mussed Tummy Fur

I am having a bad fur day where I can do nothing

to stop the Tummy's fur from being Mussed.  Instead of

trying to fix it I thought I would just reach high into

the air and relax in a way that only a cat can.

Sometimes when things do not work out it is best

to take a break and just have some fun with

Mussed Tummy Fur.

Tawdry Tail

I have a confession, I like to wag my tail a lot

 and that is why I am hiding my head in shame.

I know as a respectiable cat that I should not

be wagging it in such a manner, but I enjoy wagging

it so much.  I even wag it as a game with my Mom

where she pats her hand down on the ground

and I wag my tail the same number of times in response.

I hope this still means that I can be called

a Cat.

Whoops Wednesday

Uh-Oh Mom saw me get on the open drawer.

She said that I should not do this since it is dangerous

and I could fall and get hurt.  I told her that

she did not close the drawer in time and it

was an open invitation to go up here.

Once I was up I had to stick my paws to see what

was in the drawers and see if I could open it more.

Sadly this thing is blocking any movement so I was

only able to just stick one paw through the drawer.

Tortie-Toesie Tuesday

In this picture I am showing off the mani-pedi I got on

Monday because my nails were causing accidental scratches

 when I got up from laying on my Mom.  I was very good

 this time and only put up a couple of meow protests because

I really felt I needed them done.  I even let my Mom give me an extra

little spatreatment of spritz of cat bath to clean up my arms.

    

Coloration Study

My Mom has been trying to see if she could get

better pictures of my colors because she says that

my color blender has not stopped.  She is convinced

that my colors keep changing.

I indulge her in this because I am more Autumn in

color than I used to be.  Sometimes it is best

to let the humans be weird and let them observe

you.  Do you let your parents do weird things

like a color study?

EZ Sunday

I am going to be purrsuading my Mom into giving

me a lot of chin scratches in order to achieve a restful state

this Sunday.  I love to get petted there because

it puts me in a very relaxed and EZ mood.

Toy Trap

Lately I have been tricking my toys.  Even with this pillow

toy it is important to give the toy a sense of security

before you pounce and lick the toy 

Toys tend to disappear if you are too fast with them

and this way I can lick and play with these toys

longer if I am gentle and then attack them.

Virtual Belly Rub

I am positioning myself for a belly rub by moving 

to an optimial belly position.  By laying on the side

I am hoping for a session of belly rubbing that ends 

with possession of the hand. 

Here is a close up of the belly with a little

bit of my pink stomach showing from under

the white floof.  I am offering free virtual

belly rubs for anyone interested.

Toesday-Thursday Edition

 I take good care of my feet maintenance

by cleaning each foot making sure to get between 

each toe.  With tortie paw pads each paw has

a different taste. 

I got my Mom to hold onto my paw so more of the

pads will be shown and the result after I had finished

cleaning.  For a beauty secret I put a little white floof between

the toes to draw attention to the tortie paw pads

Wordy Wednesday

I like to grab onto Mom when I lick her because

it gives me control on when I had enough of being petted. 

The Human Doctor did not have an answer, but

Mom was happy that he would continue to look to find 

out what is wrong. Purrrrrr to all of you for your concern.
