Tabby Tease

King of Our Castle:

Cranky Ol Sour Puss Perry,

Gotta admit Perry's not being all yuck yuck like before

Sure, I said he'll probably be 100 yrs old in July

So maybe his old age has mellowed him enough to give

Daddy Peyton a bath, lick Mommy's tail & foot while she snoozed

Tried to play with My and Earl Gray's tails: I hissed while Brother ran

And even kinda let Uncle MaxMaxx rumble and shake the house after him

Perry has never been this nice in the two years we've shared a house

What gives?

Mommy says Perry maybe has grown up just like us

Huh?

Perry was already ancient when Mommy, Daddy Peyton and Uncle MaxMaxx moved in!

Whatever

Stay tuned!
















Me

Wordless Wednesday

My Sweet Daddy Peyton

Framed And

Posin' Picture Purr-fect

Togetherness: Tuxie Style

Never seem to be too far from each other:

Uncle MaxMaxx and Mommy.

If Mommy isn't loving over Me and Brother Earl Gray

She's by HER Brother

To watch Uncle and Mommy play is like watching

Two VERY big kittens play--almost like

Me and Earl Gray. Run. Jump. Holler.

And with Uncle MaxMaxx not as big boned as before

Our house doesn't shake as much

When Uncle MaxMaxx races after Mommy

Just nice.

How it should be on this Tuesday

Mad Monday ManCat...ME!

Tommy again with that that camera

uh....NO!

She didn't have the picture ready

When I looked up for a moment...

And wouldn't ya know,

Tommy missed the moment.

:)

So I continue to take a 'smile for the camera' sabbatical

As I look at my toy and sit

On a newspaper Tommy should have put for recycle.

That will show her.

Mad Monday ManCat....ME!

Will smile for treats.

Just Easy Like Sunday

A little past mixed with some present

The past of how it was for a long time:

Uncle MaxMaxx, Mommy and Daddy Peyton

Curled together-even after all this time

A little present, that Mommy says is a gift: Brother Earl Gray

I like this picture, even if I'm not in it.

Taking a breather, you see.

Like it. Like it lots.

How it is

How just easy like a Sunday should be

Settle Saturday

Last Saturday Mommy and Brother Earl Gray took over that magical DVR box

Ya know-that black box that lets Tommy and me

Visit Mayberry and Sherriff Andy Taylor and silly deputy Barney Fife

While we're still comfy cozy in bed

Barney is So funny, but what about that little boy Opie?

What ever happened to him? Hope he turned out all right....:)

Now Daddy Peyton and Cranky Ol Sour Puss Perry take command

Perry really has: "Maybe I really don't hate you"moments more often.

His 100th birthday (he's gotta be THAT old) is July 4th-is he tryin to hit us up for stuff

Daddy Peyton seems to take a snooze anywhere :)

Enough about them--what about ME?

It's Saturday. All ready bit Tommy's foot when she moved it under the blanket.

It was prey lingered too long on the savannah.

Cannot prevent a tiger to conquer his prey. Thought it was funny.

Tommy didn't

Whatever

Hope she finds the next time we can go to Mayberry

Have a great Saturday!

Friday Femme Fatale

Mommy.

That's what Tommy says Mommy is

I don't get it

But Tommy smiles when she says it

So it must be good.

Mommy says she doesn't mind Tommy

Taking ALL those pictures

I so tire of it. Just feed me. Leave me alone

Mommy says if Tommy hadn't let

Her, Daddy Peyton and Uncle MaxMaxx move in

She's not sure where they would be.

Mommy said the little boy and family they lived with

Said they loved them, but had to get rid of all the cats.

So Mommy, Daddy and Uncle ran around loose mostly

And would sleep in the bed Tommy put outside for them, or under the steps.

One rainy night, Mommy says Tommy opened her door and all 3 of us came from out

Under the steps and up to her. Mommy was scared

But Mommy always went where Uncle went

And that night, it was inside with Tommy

They've never left

So Mommy says I really need to get over the picture taking thing.

Whatever.

We have a forever home

And need to be grateful.

OK. Sheesh.

I still want treats.

Priorities.

I love Mommy

Just a Moment

For ME!

Not too much to say on this Thursday.

When Tommy came round

With that darn camera --again--

Just wouldn't look at her.

Sure, I am quite the handsome mancat and all

But COME ON!

Even Heidi Klum takes a breather!

So why can't I?

Why doesn't Tommy come at me with some yum yum treats?

Why doesn't she make it worth MY while?

Priorities

Wordless Wednesday...

...as we wonder about what has our attention.

The screen is the only thing that saves it.

Window Scene

Tommy caught Mommy and Cranky Ol Sour Puss Perry

In one of our windows

While outside taking pictures of flowers

Mommy and Perry sat -together--for a

LONG TIME. Didn't hiss or fight.

Tommy was stunned. So was I

Because that's MY favorite window

And they would NOT get out!

I guess these two are sorta OK now

After all Perry just yawns and Mommy looks

On--like Perry is crazy.

HA! HA! I wrote on the picture.

Perry bopped me on the head.

Oh well, I thought it was funny.

That's all that matters.

Priorities.

ManCat Monday Salute!

Took a good look at my baby Brother Earl Gray

He was the last one Mommy birthed on June 12, 2007

Well, it could have been still June 12 or maybe June 13

After putting Mommy and us three itty bitty cats

Safe in our own maternity ward on June 12

Tommy says when she woke up the next morning

Earl Gray made four

Either way he is my baby brother

Took a real good look at him now

Wow he's GROWN!

Does that mean I've grown too?

Anyway, on this Monday, I showcase

My Brother Earl Gray-

ManCat if ever there was one!

Easy Just Like Sunday Sweet

Daddy Peyton poses on this day.

Tommy always calls him her Sweetboy.

Named Daddy after football great, Walter "Sweetness' Payton

Tommy loves football and me too (Go Cowboys!)

But it's still only Spring-long time til football starts

That's OK

So on this Sunday, we all take a cue from

Daddy Peyton and just take it easy.

ENJOY!

Saturday Settle

So Mommy and my Brother Earl Gray

Just sit and settle by a window.

Brother actually sits on this black box

Called a DVR. Tommy says when she turns on

That box, it's how we're able to watch TV in bed.

I like that DVR.

Brother Earl Gray likes it oo.

Says it's just right warm.

Mommy settles in for a cat nap

Says as long as she's by her babies

It's just right warm for her too.

Friday For All

Me and Cranky Ol Sour Puss Perry

Who let me kinda close to him

Most of the time I don't know if the Sour Puss

Will jump me or just let me be

At this moment Perry has MY toy

You can kinda see it

Perry had his inner kitten going on

As he played with MY toy

He just watched me as he rolled in the blanket

And wouldn't give back MY toy.

Hmm.

Right after Tommy took this picture

I jumped down

Perry musta got bored too

And left MY toy on the bed

Then we watched Tommy do

That dance she does EVERY Friday

Had to make sure Tommy didn't fall and bust something

Before we got fed

Priorities.

Have a PURR-fect Friday!

Tummy Thursday

Uncle MaxMaxx shows off

his furry tummy

My uncle still says he's 'big boned'

While I say the diet Tommy put him on

has made Uncle MaxMaxx a

a smaller big boned boy

Uncle MaxMaxx runs and plays more than I've

ever seen him

Plus, our house doesn't shake as much

when Uncle MaxMaxx jumps

down from a window.

I love my Uncle MaxMaxx-he's Major ManCat

Wordless Wednesday

Me, Brother Earl and Mommy
Being all Wordless on this Wednesday

Just how I like it

Together

Me being Wordless when I was itty bitty

Tuesday Tabby Smack Down

Tommy took that camera outside when
She put food out for the birds.
Tommy said we had to stay inside.
Whatever.
Then Tommy saw how Uncle MaxMaxx, ME and Mommy
Seemed to be really into something
A butterfly looking thing that Tommy says
Was a moth.
Well, after Tommy took this picture
It was a GONE moth.
Mommy caught the moth and ate it.
She seemed pretty proud of herself.
I, myself do not do winged bugs.
Uncle MaxMaxx just waddled to his food dish.
Priorities.

Mancat Monday Muse

Me (I'm the handsome one on the right) and Brother Earl Gray.

We've got our muse on.

Not sure I really get that.

But Tommy says she gets her muse on

When she's about to write

Right after she takes a cat nap...:)

So as Tommy heads back to work today

We'll 'muse' until she comes back home

To loves on us.

Easy Just Like Sunday

Rain and some wind on this Easter Sunday.

Tommy says as long as some candy is near-it's OK.

Don't really get that.

But Tommy sure smiles as she bites off ears of a chocolate bunny!

So it must be good on this Easter Sunday

Just like Uncle MaxMaxx and the TV remote

Priorities.

Animal Planet, anyone?

Saturday Shot

Daddy Peyton watched us from under this chair as we had fun in a box Tommy tossed from her cleaning adventure.
But when Tommy brought out that camera-we ran.
You can only vogue SO much!
All except for Daddy Peyton.
He just hung out under the chair. No fuss. No muss. Just let Tommy snap all the while.
Hmm
Tommy says Daddy Peyton is just a laid back kinda kitty.
Don't really get that, but Tommy smiles when she says it
So it must be good.

Whistle While

It's Friday.

Tommy has done that SAME dance she does

Every Friday every day this week.

It's been nice to see

Tommy is now back in our back bedroom.

Which looks the same it looked the other day

When Tommy announced to clean it was her goal

She did get us fed today.

Priorities.

So as Me, Mommy and Uncle MaxMaxx fit in this window,

Tommy cleans...,

Unless the urge to sit outside in the Dallas sunshine

Wins out.

Oh these humans---

They just need to find their own window and CHILL!

Happy Friday everyone!

Time Down

I've liked Tommy being home.

We all stay in bed longer.

Even Uncle MaxMaxx stays put

He won't even camp out by the food bowl.

Sometimes Tommy does get all confused when she wakes up and can't move.

Seems one of us is glued to her side

Or planted on her chest.

Tommy wants a picture of that, but never has the camera close.

Good.

On this Thursday Tommy says she has to do a couple

More errands, then will be home for the rest of the day

Tommy mutters about cleaning out our spare bedroom
Yep.

We'll see how long THAT lasts

When Tommy realizes to curl with us

To watch the Young and the Restless

Is much more fun!

Wordless Wednesday Woo Hoo

The cake says it all.

Today is our Tommy's birthday.

She won't tell us how old she is

But whenever mail comes from a

Somebody named AARP Tommy trashes it

And says since she's not even old enough for the senior discount at iHOP

So how can she be ready for AARP?

I don't really get any of that.

Anyway, today is our Tommy's day

So we're snuggling all the more.

Lickin' the bottom of the ice cream bowl may be later

Uncle MaxMaxx just waiting.....

Tuesday Tabby Taxed

Tommy scampered to see her Tax Man today

Then came back home kinda sad

Seems if she had waited 3 weeks and bought our house the day after her birthday last year

There woulda been some kinda credit for being a first time home buyer.

Aren't WE credit enough?

Anyway Tommy mutters: "Well, since I didn't get it, I don't have to pay it back. Sure woulda been nice to have $7500 tho."

I don't get that.

Does that mean Tommy can't buy us any more of the stuff WE like?

Tommy mutters more how Tax Man will call her in a couple days for the final outcome.

Just as long as our litter and eats are not compromised.

Priorities.

In the meantime, I love Tommy having the week off and home more.

As for Earl Gray and Uncle MaxMaxx

They seem to take this Tuesday Tax Man thing in their usual stride.

Think I'll take this day in stride too.

Mancat Monday

Cranky (well maybe not as much as I thought) Ol Sour Puss Perry

Is the Mancat for this Monday.

Hate to admit how Perry appears to look all

Simba Hakuna Matata Lion King here.

Hmm.

Or he's just happy none of us are in the window with him.

Anyway, it's Monday. Tommy is happy to be home.

We're happy too 'cause we all snuggled close.

And Perry?

He took the regal route on Tommy's pillow and crowed curled around her head.

Perry is our Lion King.

don't tell him I said that!

Easy Just Like Sunday

Well look it there!
After a read thru of his fave-O-rite blog,
My Brother Earl decides to take a cat snooze
Right at the foot of where the magic happens... :)
Smart Brother.

Have a Sensational Sunday!

Noir (and everybody else)


Brother Earl Gray as a 4 week old itty bitty mancat

Saturday Say

I'm Edie.

My baby boys, Noir and EG (that's Earl Gray to you) call me Mommy.

Sometimes--well, alot of times Tommy, the two legged human girl, calls me Mommy too.

She thinks it's cute when I carry around her beanie babies and meow. Sometimes I bathe them.

I guess I ALL four of my babies, when they were babies.

Two of them went to another home. I miss them too.

I do love having my baby boys Noir and EG with me.

They're so big now and handsome.

Tommy likes having them too.

Noir let me write on his blog today. He's too busy watching birds with MaxMaxx.

I read your comments and surprised how many cats have blogs.

Me and Tommy,the two legged human girl, love being the only girls in a house of mancats.

They do take care of us. Even oldster Perry. We fight, but he's not so bad.

However, Tommy doesn't know why Noir and EG find and then carry around coins.

Then they drop them at Tommy's feet.

I don't get it either. But Tommy makes sure she picks up any loose change.

Because she doesn't want my baby boys to get sick.

Smart two legged girl.

I'll ask Noir if I can write on here again.

I AM his Mommy. afterall!

I could write about when I birthed Noir, his brother and sister under Tommy's bed.

EG came the next morning, when Tommy had us all safe and tucked in her bathroom.

Our own maternity ward. she called it.

Any way, I'm going to sign off for now.

Tommy has all the windows open and I want to pick one.

Thanks for reading

And thank you for welcoming my baby boy Noir.

"Mommy"

Friday Face

It's THAT day again! Tommy does that dance again, plus

Tommy is doing more twirls than normal.

See, she's telling everybody, including us (yea, like we got any money)

That April 8 is her birthday. She's old. Don't know how much. But she's old.

And she's taking the WHOLE week off!

Yep, I knew she really does loves us.

On this day, I thought I'd showcase Uncle MaxMaxx.

He's fat. But he says he's 'big boned.'

Whatever.

I like this picture because it shows his face.

And he's awake

And he's not doing his favorite thing:

Eating.

Uncle MaxMaxx is my ideal.

Have a purr-fect Friday!

What Those Humans Do

So Tommy opens the shower door to step out

And she looks down sees ME on the rug

Instead of saying:

"Oh my little baby Noir, sweetie pie and best striped mancat in the whole wide universe!"

Tommy says: HOW did you get in here?

See, Tommy shut the door to her litter box right in my face.

Instead of saying:

"Oh my goodness! You're sweetest and strongest snookums Noir in the whole wide universe!"

Tommy says: You need to move or you might get stepped on.

I didn't budge.

So the rug was small.

I pushed the door in to be close to HER.

Who cares if only 15 or minutes passed since the litter box door was shut in my face?

OK. Tommy tried (I think) to not step on me. She did nip some of my tail.

Instead of saying:

"Oh little baby darling Noir, most lovey dovey kitty in the whole wide universe, did I hurt you?"

Tommy says: See, I told you to move!

I budged then. I pawed the door open and took my exit.

I haven't looked at Tommy since.

Well, maybe I did. Just a little. When Tommy put down our food bowls. Priorities.

That's ONE part she got right today.

Humans. Ya gotta love em.

Wordless Wednesday

Window watching.
The screen is the only thing between
This city tiger and its prey.
Lucky squirrel.
