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.
