Thursday Tabby Thought

ME!

Hey, I told Tommy to mail my postcards on Friday-

Since she was so over come by this Spiced Pumpkin Latte thingy--
She agreed. Thank Heaven for 7-11
Didn't see any whipped cream, so hence my
"You can have this one" pose..
Still want a postcard? Just let me know noir2015@gmail.com

Wordless Wednesday

ME and Mommy

After my 2nd Blogoversary!!  Thank YOU to EVERYBODY!

And if you want a postcard and didn't have a chance to e-mail

You can still do now: noir2015@gmail.com

It's My 2nd Blogoversary!

Long long ago back on this day in two thousand eight
I decided to do a blog. Ahh, Tommy fought me the whole way.
She thought cats do not blog and limited only to eternal cuteness  
Humans, they so do not believe like they should.
Anymew, you know those postcards I said Tommy
Went crazy and printed off lots and says I gotta figure out what to do with em?
Well, short, sweet, simple and to the point:

WANT ONE? 

Yep, one of these three:  

 You maybe gotta biggy-fy them to see the effects Tommy called herself doing.

I just wanna send out one (per household for now) just to

Say Thank You and Happy New Year!

Yep. That's all. 

So if you want ME to snail mail you one--SIGNED--and

Tommy just raised her eye brow on that-just e-mail me: Noir2015@gmail.com

I'm gonna be honest, gettin' one is gonna be like a box of chocolates--

You won't know which one you're gonna get...

Man Cat on A Monday....

I thought I'd show off my Uncle MaxMaxx today
And I betcha he's realizin' tomorrow is my
2nd Blogoversery...!!

At least I think he is!

And I betcha he's waitin' for me to tell how I'm

Gonna get rid of those all those postcards Tommy printed

That will be tomorrow too..on  my BLOGOVERSERY!
Uncle's NOT thinking about all that? Hmm.
Then what really is there?
Nothing like on Christmas Day, while Tommy wiped  sleep from
Her own peepers, Uncle walked up to Tommy's nose-
Sniffed it and gave her a couple kisses.
Naw, that ain't so cute....is it?
Stay tuned.



Easy On The Day After

That's what my sweet Daddy Peyton is doin'
After a fun Christmas, even if the Dallas Cowboys got
A lump of Arizona coal in their stocking Christmas Night...
The Day After just happens to still be a Sunday-

And deserves some take easy--

Even if Tommy is a grinch

To not give us a nibble of

Sugar cookie!

And on this day...

Noir,  Mommy, Daddy Peyton, Brother Earl Gray, Uncle MaxMaxx & Tommy (the human)

Christmas Eve's Last Chance!

...kinda says it all, huh?

Perry: The Cat Who Beat Up Santa Claus....

Tis the time of year Tommy’s re-tells the story about a Christmas long ago—in 2001 (way before my  Mommy was even born!)-when Tommy wanted to get pictures made with her kitties and Santa Claus. Tommy had a snowshoe Siamese Sammy and 5 ½ month old orange itty but not so bitty tabby kitty Perry then. The kitties gave Tommy so much comfort and joy since Tommy’s daddy went to Heaven in October that year, and just a month later so did Siamese tabby mix before kitty Brenner. He had cancer. So Sammy and Perry made Tommy smile.

And Tommy thought a picture with Santa would make a lot of smiles.

**On a Saturday afternoon, Tommy packed up Perry and headed to PetsMart to get in line for Santa. She decided to take one kitty at a time. Would be easier she tought. While Tommy and Perry waited, there were other kitties there looking for fur-ever homes. Tommy kinda wanted to get one—so she could have three. But Tommy never had THAT many kitties before! In about 5 years she’d know how that felt….anymew. Tommy and Perry waited as a big black puppy got his turn with Santa. The puppy was sweet and barked just once. Got his picture made and all was good.
**Tommy says you could almost say she glowed.  She loved her some Perry, who had quite the personality. Tommy couldn’t wait for the picture and was happy when Santa motioned them up. Tommy held Perry, in her hands, by this time, and he just meowed a couple times. Nothing major, Tommy thought.
**So Tommy says to Santa, “This is Perry.” Santa is jolly and says, “Well, hello Perry” and starts to take Perry out of Tommy’s arms.
**Wrong move, Ol’ St. Nick.
**The next thing, Tommy says, is you heard Perry screamin’ and hissin’ and saw his orange arms just flyin’! Tommy still had a hold of Perry, who had a hold of Santa and Santa’s glasses were coming off his face. Somehow, Tommy held Perry. Peeled him off of Santa and got him in the carrier.
**The carrier rocked to and fro with Perry still screamin’. Tommy says her she knows her eyes were as wide as all get out. She stared at Santa whose glasses were crooked. When Santa took the glasses off, there was blood above his eyebrow and then Tommy saw blood from Santa's temple. The she saw the blood drops in Santa’s white beard. Tommy was in shock. Didn’t know what to do. The only thing out of her mouth was:
**“He’s had his shots.”
**Then Tommy started apologizin’. She didn’t know if the police were gonna come and haul off her and Perry. Who would bail them out of the pound? Everybody in the store just stopped and stared. Tommy just apologized over and over. Perry finally got quiet. I guess he had to catch his breath. Mrs. Claus came over and said to Santa: “He got you pretty good.” She left for a few minutes and came back with a first aid kit.
**Tommy just stood there as Mrs. Claus put stuff on Santa's wounds. Santa said, “Oh, it’s all right. He was scared.” Tommy apologized for the millionth time and declined Santa’s to try again. Instead Tommy chose to walk fast, yet tread lightly out of PetsMart just in case the police DID come.
**Once out in the parking lot, two ladies were walking puppies that wanted furr-ever homes. One of em looked at Tommy and asked, “You the one with the cat that tore up Santa?”
**Tommy was embarrassed and nodded.  Then the lady started laughing. The lady walking a puppy came up and was told, “Yea, this is her.” That lady started laughing. Tommy says she had to laugh too. The first lady said, “Well, if Santa is gonna pose with animals, something like this might happen. Ya know, he had the dog right before. That probably spooked him. ”  The first lady wanted to see Perry.  So when Tommy opened the carrier, the first lady, said **"Yea, you look like a fighter!"  And laughed more. They all did.
**Tommy realizes the lady could be right. She still felt bad. The first lady says, “Ya know, that was funny. You heard that cat through the store. Santa knows the perils." 
** Tommy took Perry home. Sammy never even got the chance to get a picture with Santa. Tommy said no more. Not gonna risk it.
**And no police ever did show up.
**The first time I heard Tommy tell the story, Perry sat close with his ears back. I later got enough nerve to ask him what was he thinking the day he beat up Santa Claus. Perry didn’t want to answer then he realized I wasn’t gonna stop buggin' him.  Perry’s answer?
**The cranky ol sour puss now a feisty feline in Heaven said he went ballistic cuz he didn’t know who Santa WAS! Yep. All the 5 ½ month old Perry saw was a big ol’ stranger in a red suit, with big belly and a bunch white hair and beard. The black puppy getting his picture made before him didn’t scare Perry---SANTA DID.

** Tommy's never taken any of us to het pictures with Santa. She says her heart just couldn't take it.  Hey, I'd be good.  I wouldn't beat up nobody. Except--well, I would maybe hiss a time or two, to show how ferocious I can be

**And just in Perry's memory. who is still our

**King of this house and watches over this house-would smile on that!

Sammy and Perry One

Two of  Tommy's smiles...

Wordless Wednesday

See ME?

Wash or Dri?

Mommy and Brother Earl Gray
Do a snooze fest on the washer--
See the blankee they're on....?

Tommy just washed and folded it

All nice and neat before she put it back ON
The washer for US. So the washer wouldn't be l
All chilly on our bellies...
Do we got her snowed or what?
Anymew--the washer was one of Perry's
Favorite places to perch and loved
To scare  Tommy cuz she didn't he was there.
We all kinda now take turns--in Perry's memory
And it is a cool place to perch
And just seems a bit cozier on the blankee....

Man Cat Monday Print

Uncle MaxMaxx strikes a pose by the printer-

Why?

Cuz he's waits for more postcards of HIM to print!
See, I learned how to print postcards of ME, Uncle and Mommy-
And Tommy got hissed cuz I used up all her ink--well, not really-
Really happened when I learned to make iron on transfers of ME
--in color--Ink all gone!
Told Tommy I'm C.E.C aka Chief Executive Cat of Noir's Nook Inc.
She ain't buying it. Says I gotta find a way to get rid of all these postcards--
Yea--I'll show her...well, I will...uh....YOU'LL SEE!
Stay tuned!

Lesson for Easy on Sunday....

ME!

Any questions?

And

...my Brother Earl Gray

With just a little bit of sun

On a  Saturday....

Friday Dance Mix

Tommy is stayin' home with us this Friday-
Says she's got some 'days to burn'--
Humans do say the darndest things, don't they?

Tommy's usual Friday Dance seems to have more bounce to the ounce

As she  burns down the house with rage of a disco inferno

With US as captives...and we wouldn't have it any other way! 

We're  cats. And we like it like that!

Dynamic Duo!

Like I said yesterday, we don't see
Daddy Peyton close to anybody. Kind of a loner is he. 
Kinda even more so since Perry became a
Feisty Feline in Heaven. They were buds--sorta.
Then last night Tommy caught this--

Cuz if it weren't for Daddy Peyton and Mommy

I wouldn't be here on this Thursday to say

THANK YOU!

Daddy Peyton and his other son, my Brother Earl Gray

Some Tuesday Tummy

You can see a little bit of my tummy
And a smidgen of my feeties too.
Tommy never caught me in
My "all stretched out and no place to go pose"
And Tommy says I look really all grown up....

ALL GROWN UP?

Heck, I'm 3 1/2 years old!!

How much more grown up IS there??

---Humans--- 

Man Cat Monday

ME and my Brother Earl Gray

Hmm.

Want some 'yawn'

To go with your spot on MY quilt?

For Sunday Sure

Yea, it's kinda chilly this Sunday morn
However that does NOT mean Uncle MaxMaxx
Hogs the whole scene does it?

Uncle's got his big ol' leg over me

Then this mammoth paw blocks my curlin' up space...
Easy on a Sunday is one thing-
All in my territory is another....
--Hence the look on my face-

Shine On

Saturday mornin' was kinda cloudy here in Dallas
And yes, we curled to Tommy and cut off her circulation
--as usual--
Anymew, right now the sun shines on this Dallas Day
And the spotlight on Mommy proves just that!

Weather humans say it's gonna be colder tonight

Yea. sure.
How right correct are they really....?

Friday Finale Face

It's 7pm as I type and it's midnight black outside...
Still am NOT feelin' that!
OK. So last night Tommy hogged the PC
Really til midnight. We ALL kept her company!
Tommy's dance she always does on this day
Wasn't as frisky, cuz my human said she was tired-
Boo to the me-YOW hoo-
Not so much PC tonight, Tommy says cuz
She forces me to watch those Christmas sugar laced 
Movies on the Hallmark Channel and Lifetime! 
To make sure Tommy doesn't HOG the PC
Tonight, I got in her chair. See me?

Yea, Tommy did too.

And put me on the floor.

Humans.

Gotta watch the time because

Cuz this one movie on Hallmark Channel.....

Tabby Thanks

WOW! Tommy caught 
Uncle MaxMaxx watchin' over me
Just like he does with his sister
aka My Mommy!

I wonder what Uncle's thinking?

I betcha that I'm the best nephew
He's ever had!!
WOW!

Wordless Tuxie TwoFurr Wednesday

A sister with her brother
Together-
Side by side 
No matter what
And always

Tabby Get Back

Yesterday my Brother Earl Gray
Was hissed cuz I got some major
Mommy groomin' ME time and, well, he didn't!
So after I got all groomed, Brother says
He's gonna go read comments on MY blog-
Then I caught  Brother doin' THIS!

Hmm.

Tabby Get Back?

You decide.

A Little Mommy with Man Cat Monday...

I like posin' in pictures if Brother Earl Gray and  
My Mommy are involved.
In fact, I just got on in the middle of this one!
Tommy says I am pushy that way-
I say--
Just take the picture
And let me be--
Just kinda ignore Brother who
Has a scowl on his face...
Pushy..ME?  HA!

Easy Scene, Cut, Print

My Uncle MaxMaxx

Looks out on

An early Sunday morn-
Not bad-
Not bad at all...

A Weekend Snuggle Past

Hello everybody!
Was gonna type 'bout Tommy snorin'  loud- 
Just like one of them lumberjack chain saws-
And how she woke up and couldn't move
Cuz Uncle MaxMaxx was glued to her side.
He's like a 10 ton fur brick when he snoozes....
Alas no. As Tommy slept I decided to surprise her
With Saturday's post from a past Spring Weekend...

See all 6 of us? 

Cranky Ol' Perry--now the Feisty Feline in Heaven

Is in the photo. I guess he really did like us.

This will make Tommy smile-

And I like that...

Enjoy Saturday!

In Friday's Face

It's kinda a crisp Dallas morning--
Not as brrr-cold as it's been.
So as Tommy did her dance she does
Every Friday and then got ready for her
Daily abandonment of us--
Tommy cracks open a window about 7am
Just to get some fresh air she says....

Well, let me tell you-

There are lots of sounds and sniffs going on

At 7am. Lotsa leaves in our back yard too
Tommy's got a rake, but I'm sure
She thinks the rake is an ornament just
Like the piano in our living room....
Enjoy Friday!

I Am A Thankful Tabby

And why am I so thankful on this Thursday?
Because I got my Daddy Peyton

Demonstratin' his true man cat-ness that a

Lace pillow can be a bestest chums
To lean on.....

Wordless Wednesday With Uncle MaxMaxx

Helpin' Tommy study....
