ManCat Monday

ME
Avoiding a head on
Look at Tommy--
Which I do quite well!
I am a cat. That's how I roll.

Wordless Blogoversary Wednesday

ME!

# 1000 Pops Up on ManCat Monday!

Who woulda thunk?
My one typin' claw is just gettin' started!
A thousand bloggie  posts. . 
I think a thousand is how many
Gray hairs Tommy counted on Christmas.
Oh well, I'm happy even if Tommy isn't
And Uncle MaxMaxx

Takes it upon himself to search for

more material

for the next thousand...

(Uncle thinks Friskies Party Mix is part of the deal)

ManCats on a Monday

ME and Brother Earl Gray

Kinda form a purr-fect circle

While Tommy has to get up and go

To work on this chilly Dallas morn...
ME and Brother ain't pretty much got to go anywhere...

Hmm.

Who has the better set-up?

:)

The Day After...

Thanksgiving.

Uncle MaxMaxx, his new fave snooze spot, and friend (a pretend cat)

Hmm.

Pose doesn't look a whole lot different

Than on NON-holidays...

ManCat on a Monday

My Uncle MaxMaxx

In a B & W photo--
Shows us what he 

Looks like when not snoozin' or chompin'---

Kinda sorta regal, don't cha think?

Friday Wrap Up

Ya know, Tommy didn't go to work today.
Nope. And instead of curling with us under a quilt
Tommy STILL left us for the day.
Yep.
So what did she do?  Tommy says she volunteered today
At a Special Olympics event in Ft. Worth. Had a GREAT time-
Even tho her feeties hurt. Hmm. While Tommy
Was countin' the gray hairs in her head, I
Google'd just what Special Olympics are. After my
Cool cat detective work, I decided to give

Tommy a pass---for today anyway--however:

Her whole thinkin' I'd be OK

Sharin' a photo with an empty iced coffee cup
Cuz were two of Tommy's  fave-rite things-
I ain't feelin--hence my "Get that thing outta here" pose!
Humans--when WILL they learn?

Wordless on a Wednesday

Mommy and ME!

Tuesday Talks Tomorrow

Yep. I'm talkin' about Wednesday today.
Guess it's kinda like being in the future kinda thing.
Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of our
Cranky ol' Sour Puss Perry's Run to Heaven's Bridge
Doesn't seem like it's been a year. We had to
Get use to Perry not being 'round and doin' his

Liftin' a whisker to me, air jabbin'  Uncle MaxMaxx,

Runnin' from Mommy, curlin' with Daddy Peyton

And never far from Tommy--especially at night.

Perry was always there.
Letting Tommy sleep on the same pillow
While he pet her face--
Nowadays, I get a whole pillow to ME 
And nibble Tommy's fingers.
I know I'm not Perry tho. Tommy's caught
Herself almost callin' me by Perry's nickname--
Then she says no way she can do that
Cuz I'm my own kitty, yet I have always
Been Perry's heir apparent, ever since I was itty 
Since I acted alot like him act sometimes
Just like Perry--
I can't think of a better kitty to take after...

This is picture of ME and Perry from 2009-

Way before everything changed..
Perry musta liked me. For a little bit anyway
To pose like this:

Perry will forever always be King of our house

And for that, I'm real OK to be the Prince.

SpyCat

ME! 

Checkin' out a nice, cool

Dallas Saturday morning..

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Wordless on a Wednesday

ME!

Saturday Slow Down

It's been a long day.
Tommy was gone most of it
At a planning meeting for a writers conference
She volunteers for. Which once again "WHY?"
I never see Tommy write much of anything...
Anymew we all hung out in the cool parts of the house
Until Tommy came back with...

Friday Feline Friend or Foe...

Can you see .....?

Tommy snapped this photo thru the glass of the door and a screen.
This neighborhood friend or foe been comin' round for a couple weeks. Tomnny wanna believes he's got a  home. Ya know, how Tommy feeds the neighborhood and he shows  up one day. We see him more than we see the rest of our neighbors, including that Possum Rat. In fact yesterday (when Tommy took this photo), He was just sittin' on our patio. He didn't run like he's done before--but won't come up to Tommy...yet. He just watches her and probably thinks she's crazy when she talks to him. Anyway, he's (or she--Tommy hasn't gotten THAT close to see) safe in our yard. Nobuddy messes with him----except we do watch him thru the glass.Whether he's a friend or foe--I guess I do kinda hope he has a home too....why?  Cuz Tommy's got that look in her eye.....

No Matter

....even if the weather outside is 100 degrees or 10 below zero
The perch in the room with a view
Is always worth takin' in...

Especially on a Sunday!

Man Cat Yankee Doodle Dandy Monday

Happy 4th of July everybody!! 
I keep askin' Tommy what she remembers about CNN's coverage of  the signing of
The Declaration of Independence. Tommy keeps mumblin "Not that old! Not THAT old!" 
Really?  
Meanwhile, Daddy Peyton dreams something esle on this holiday cuz

We celebrated Perry's birthday on the 4th of July and tis our

First celebration without our Cranky Ol Sour Puss and

Daddy Peyton was the closest one to Perry--

--musta been that ginger orange tabby thing--

And  we will always believe Perry is bestest brightest firecracker of them all!

Man Cats on a Monday

Brother Earl Gray and Uncle MaxMaxx

Squeezed on the same desk space

Where Brother gives Uncle a

"Cuz the Dallas Mavericks lost, you're my Uncle and I like you" wash

Not bad for a Monday.

Not bad at all...

Easy Sunday Home

 Before the heat (and I don't mean the Miami Heat either-GO MAVS!)

Got too hot here in Dallas,

Tommy let Uncle MaxxMaxx go outside

To get his chomp on this morn...

As for me, I protected our house from an open window: 

And took in the view..

Easy on Sunday.

Not bad.
Not bad at all.

Friday's Terra Cotta Cute Cat

Brother Earl Gray with...well....Brother Earl Gray

See, Tommy made the flower pot. OK, she didn't MAKE the flower pot

She made the flower pot. Painted. Picture of itty bitty Brother Earl Gray
Little Paws (one toe missing) missing toe stands for
Tommy being born with one ear. A rough draft Tommy calls it
For what she says could be 'an unique item' for MY future store
Huh?
When did I ever purr anything about flower pots?
I don't do nothin' with pots and/or plants-
Tommy says that's OK, cuz humans do
Put plants or nick nacks (whatever those are) and anything else in em
Since Tommy clearly O'd on Starbucks Mocha Frappucino

I flashed her this: .. 

Stay tuned.

ManCats on a Monday....

Brotherly Love?

You decide....

Friday Femme Feline Face

So Tommy gets home on this rainy Dallas late afternoon
Does her round of pettin' all of us--
As Tommy settles down do a quick school work thing,
Mommy hops in the window as Tommy babbles on
How a co-worker looked at Tommy like had 4 heads on her shoulders
As Tommy told her I (the cat that owns her) had a blog!
Yep. The co-worker just couldn't believe a CAT would
Have such a thing. Tommy told her lotsa pets have blogs--
The co-worker was like "Does the cat write? And talk?"
Shocked she was when Tommy said "Yes or they gave dictation!"
The co-worker just stared at Tommy and said,
"Wow, I've just met another side of you. I'll pray fer ya."
And Mommy looked at Tommy.....
