I'm Rollin'

on the carpet as now that I am comfortable in this place.

I have to let everyone know that I was here and this was

a super easy way to spread my furs and make it my own.

Back to Blogging

Meow, I'm back it was longer than I thought it was

going to be as after moving Mom was feeling sickly

and was horking so I took care of her and make

sure that she got rest to get better.  Now that she 

is feeling  more peppy and we are settled into the

new place I could blog again. 

Its been pretty interesting looking at the place after the

first days of staying under the bed as there are now

a different things I notice including a fridge I never 

knew that such a thing was here before through Mom

moves me away from it when I try to walk into it when it is open

I am very happy to see all of my furiends again after

this break.  I can't wait to tell about all the new stuff

here. Purrs

Halloween Birthday Pawty

Mom spent an extra long play session with one of my all time

favorite toys today in honor of my 9th birthday.  We played

tug of war and I won as it was my birthday and I do not

think that Mom was playing her hardest.  I am looking forward

to this birthday as at 9 I am a Senior Catizen so a wise Lady

who could impact my knowledge to the younger kitten generation

Mom prepared a small feasts for our furiends and there 

are several bins in the living room for the move so there

is plenty of places to play and if you stay later the kits would

hopefully be coming for Halloween Trick-or-Treating

So purrs to fun and excitement on my Halloween Birthday Pawty!

Soopervisor Extrodiare

I have a very important job in the coming weeks as

an moving soopervisor as Mom is moving us to a new place.

She found a much place that is better for us with much more

pros especially with maintenance which Mom said was 

very much like pulling teeth in things not getting done here.

It will take all of my skills to make sure this goes smoothly

since she has to be in the new place at the end of November.

My job as soopervisor Extrodinare is very important as I am responsible 

for making sure everything goes right so blogging is going to few 

until moving to the new place.  Mom promised for my good job that she will 

have a small birthday pawty on October 31st  when I turn 9 purrs.

Happy ''Tockober

Happy Tockober  to all.  Today is Derby's birthday

and as a celebration of this special day I am once again

displaying my juicy 'tocks for one and all to admire.

Throgh this time I made sure in these picture to keep my modesty

after Mom so rudely posted showing my number 13 in front

of my furiends. 

I meowed about the beauty of the artistic' tock shot

after all a girl has to be modest with her booty or else 

all the mancats would faint so I posed from the sideviews

to get the purrfect 'tock picture for this 'Tockober.

Wordless Wednesday-Pettins

An Easy Sunday Award

The lovely tuxie Katie Isabella has given me

an award for  having One Sweet Blog.  Mom

and me love watching Cupcakes Wars together

so this award is extra sweet for us to see all the nifty

animal from cupcakes.

For once I am following the rules and drawing inside

the line and it states that I should state who gave me the award

and then award to five blogs that I think are sweet:

A Tonk's Tail (er... Tale...)

Cataustin

Cherry City Kitties

Madi and Mom: Down Home in NC

Sherlock,Traveler, Ash: Feline Purrspective

Now I am going to take a little Easy Sunday nap
as I spent the week making sure to keep Mom on
track following her everywhere so I will enjoy a nice
long sleepy on the couch.

Protective Mom

There are times when Moms can be so protective

especially when she does Mom things like wipe a

tear from my eye or fix my bedhead.  She even tells

me when I have smutz on my fur before fixing it before

I have a chance to do a little grooming on that spot.

 Mom means well and stuff, but I am almost

a senior catizen so I can totally handle this stuff on my own

I'm an expert on purrsonal grooming.  Even though she's

sometimes does things I can do I love how she that

she does a lot of protective stuff cause she loves me.

Scary-Smart

Mom says that I have gotten scarily smart lately as

I am nearing nine years old.  I have realized many 

different things like time as I am more aware when

certain times of the day like when Mom gets home or

when dinner is ready and I meow when she asks if 

I want some noms or treats.  What is especially smart

is how I direct her hand with my paw to where I 

want pets.  

It should come to no surprise to Mom that I am very smart,

but I think she is wondering how I have become so much more

vocal and observant as I became older and wiser that makes

Mom think that I have gotten to be scary-smart! 

Shiny Distractions

Has you ever been in the middle of doing something

only to get caught up by a more interesting thing

that totally distracts from the destination that was the original

intention.  Its hard to stay on course when there are so many

things to smell and then you just have to investigate everything

else there despite going to the window a little birdie and human tv

Of course those little figurines are sometimes more interesting than

window as bird tv gets on the fritz and the other things are always

there for a perusal and a sniff before it is time for the next 

stop to see what other type of fun there might be.

Talented Thursday

I love to do little gymnatics feats of rolling over throughout

my house. It is my zen and a small talent that I purrfected

over the years.  By doing this I bring a little bit of happiness

to Moms world as this is the way to show I trust her.

While I do have some cool talent I have to give out a meow

to a group that Sparkle showed on her blog, Tuna and the Rock Cats.

This group of cats are a really real rock group that tours

throughout the US on bus, but this bus is breaking apart

and they need help so they are using the kickstarter campaign

where they need $28,000 byOctober 28th. They are 22% towards

their goal.  I believe that they do a wonderful service of speading happiness

and hope to make aware the kickstarter website to donate to

Tuna and the Rock Cats

so they can keep bringing happiness with their talented troop.

New Detour

 I discovered a new route in the house it is a bit

of a detour rather than the straight path that went past the tv.

I used to go that way because I amintangible, but it

was not fair to Mom as it must be a special cat ability that

is she is unable to do, so in order to be a good girl I take this

more complex route to the warm box 

I get to do lots of jumping from the ground

to the bigger box where I measure before jumping

down to my ultimate goal, while doing something very

nice for Mom if she happens to be watching a show.

It might take a bit more work to go the long way around to

the box, but it is worth it and the best part is that I get to

hang out on the special box purrs.

Thankful Thursday

Thinking of You

I am very thankful to Oui Oui for me giving me the Thinking of You award.  Since Mom is bad at awards we made sure to paraphase what the purpose of this award so that we would do it right.

For the "Thinking of You" Award, I must link back to Nerissa who designed this lovely award.  Then I have to tell 7 things about ourselves, and pass it along.

1. I know when Mom does a full litter change and whenever this happens I sit near the litter doing what Mom terms the kitty potty dance and pounce once she is done to make in the new litter right as she is finishing pouring in the new litter.

2. I hold Mom down when she sleeps at night I want to sleep with her even though she moves a lot so I use my weight to make sure she stays still.

3. I am very paw-centric cat in general and.....

4. When I groom I spend a lot of time on my paws including chewing on each of the nails to make them sharp.

5. I am able to get Mom to open the window even for a little bit in the morning when it is cold I just look at her and the window and put her in a trance to open it up.

6. When jumping down I have to look a lot over the edge before deciding when the right time to jump.

7. I like to change my mind often doing different things like more meowing or going to a new place in the house in order to confuse Mom so she never knows that she never knows what I like best.

I Gots Royal Mail

Mom won the Cat and Crow giveaway from CatAustin 

all the way over the pond.  The package was intriguing

and I was very excited about getting it open that 

I was too impatient so Mom was unable to get a good 

picture of the package and royal seal of Queen Elizabeth II.

Once Mom took out the canvas Cat and Crow tote

bag I immediately jumped atop it and begame looking

to pull out the rest of it as Mom was obviously not 

going at a fast enough pace.  

Even though it was mostly a prize pack for humans

Austin was thoughtful and sent over a container of cat

toys in this really cool box.  Mom said playing with the toys

would come later because it was time for the main attraction.

It was time to look at The Cat and Crow book which had a signature
 inside from the author.  I found the book to be most exciting
and tried to read it by rubbing against it with my head. 

When Mom went to show me and read the card from them I grabbed

it out of her hand and made my own unique mark on the

card before Mom reminded me that we have not read what

Austin and his Mom said and that if I ripped it up this

would be not be very nice.

As you could see my teeth made a great impression on

the note.  Thanks so much Mom and I love everything

and after I made sure to roll all over the bag I played with 

the cat toys that Austin gave.  Over the next few nights

Mom is going to read this most wonderful story of

inter-species furiendship to me.  Thanks again for having

this giveaway purrs Willow

White Wednesday

People in fashion say that wearing white after Labor Day

is a major No-No.  But I don't listen to those people after all

my fur suit is in all year long and looks much more snazzier than

most things that some of the fashionistias wear on the runway.

So I just tell them to talk to the paw and let me 

be myself afterall no cat is held to human rules.

Update on Mom's Human Vet: The New York Doctor

better explained that this will be a lifetime thing as

no cure or remission yet as it is very rare and slow,

 but that doing good on this regimen right now. 

Cat Sitter Blues

♫ ♪♪ I've got the Cat Sitter Blues

the lying on the floor wallowing blues

Yeaaaah I've got the Cat  Sitter coming to my house blues

All cause Mom has to leave me 

Cat Sitter Blues ♪♪♫

Mom told me to get ready for the Cat Sitter on Monday

as she would be gone most of the day to New York City.

She says that she does not want to go, but that it is

necessary to see how well she is doing with her cancer

treatment to see if they need to change the regiment.

The cat sitter is really a nice neighbor with her own cat

I'm just with the blues because of her being gone and worrying

about her as she goes again to see the experts about her cancer

Pooped Out

I am beyond pooped as I spent

the whole wide weekend  helping my Mom clean

up the house.  I also made sure to help her in filling

out an application for another library job.  So I

decided that  I just needed to

take a little R & R for myself.  Just because it 

was labor day weekend does not mean that 

there should be so much labor on the cats part. 

After all how are we supposed to keep up our

energy for helping Mom if we do not take our

required 14 hour nap which is why I am planning

on a long nap on this Tortie Tuesday

 to rev up my feline fuel tank.

(Indoor) Garden Tour

Did you know that I haz a green thumb through this

plant is much older than me at twenty-one years old

I helped Mom with it making it the jungle beauty that it

is today.  What I do is some maintenance checks for 

new buds as without me these buds would not know what to do. 

I haz a plant that I took care of by myself as it is up 

at cat height and what I do is a lot of scent marking

as this would help to make this little one grow as big as 

its furiend.  Cause everything is much better when its

helped by our cat powers and scents.

Snug As A...

bug in a rug.  This is what Mom said  when

she saw my ear peaking out from between the blankets

and quilt after she came back from food shopping. I had

went into the quilts in order to have a snug little cat nap

while Mom was away.

Mom was good in that she did not disturb me and

went to another room to do stuff until I came 

sauntering up out of the room as she knows the code

of the cat in terms of cat naps and human beds

Special Pettin' Spot

Its been a little while since Mom and I had a good petting

session.  We have done pettin', but it was a bit since 

there was a longer time of pets with lots of meows of happiness.

Just recently Mom found a special spot right on my neck that made

me go into super pet mode of demanding more and using 

my paws to direct Mom for more pets.

I also twisted  around in order to better direct the pettin'.

Mom was able to reach both my neck and chin 

where I enjoyed the ultimate in pettin' with lots of mews

and purrs and licks for Mom

Furiendly Gossip

I'm took some time to talk to Sealia here for a little bit

of gossip as we were both chillaxing again behind the

rocking chair.  It was nice little chat and she gave out

some juicy tidbits of information about the goings on

and I told her of the outer rooms of the house including

some good places for swimming, which I do not like

but she might appreciate.

Through the gossip ended when I noticed that there 

was the flashy box after all its hard to get good gossip

with another ear listening into the conversation.

Thursdays 'Tocks

Mom took some more unathorized pictures now

she took one of my tortie tocks when I was going

into the hole of the cat tree.  She said she was just

happy that I took to this part of my tree as it was the

one area I avoided as I like the other part of my tree.

Its very embrassing as some private parts are visible for

all to see.

I might have to repirmand her through I am bad at that

as I went to her and started purring very sweetly and

differently than I did before.  I need to rethink things

as I am obviously missed one of the steps of human

training to purr after such indiginity.

Easy Sunday Interruptus

I was taking it very easy on the pillow of the bed

for a bit of a nap that was interrupted by Mom

who came and stuck the camera right in my face.

Mom says that I was cutes with the way I was

using the pillow and wanted to catch it right quick

I Ppfed at her as obviously I was taking a cat nap

when she came and knew this beforehand.  And I also gave

a strong stinkeye so that she knows that its rude to

do this.  Hopefully other Easy Sundays would not be

so rudely interrupted by the camera.

World Cat Day

Happy World Cat Day to all of my

furiends.  Today is our day of celebrating and to

do this in Cat Blogosphere Style

we look to our ambassador for  this years events

towards Mitalee from Critters in the Cottage

My Mom got into the spirit of Cat Day by giving

me the paper bag to play with.  Usually we

do not have these types of bags but Mom gone

to the pharmacy to get medicine and they gave

the huge bag that I went into total bliss over

It was more potent than how I am on with

nip.  Paper is mine nip of choice as it makes

me super excited and I am happy mine Mom gave

me this as a way to celebrate World Cat Day
