Cleo the soup thief

2005-06-01T15:52:00.000-04:00

The other day, I had a great treat. Mommy had opened up a can of creamy soup and then the doorbell rang. When she went down to answer it, I just couldn't resist. The lure of the soup was just too much for a little kitty such as myself.

So, I dipped my full snout in and had a good treat. When Mom came back upstairs, she was very stern, so I lifted my head, looked at her and then licked my whiskers before going back for seconds!

YUM!

Goose couldn't be any cuter if she tried!

2005-05-06T13:26:00.000-04:00

Look at the pretty flash! Oww!

2005-05-06T13:25:00.000-04:00

Cleo likes the kitchen chairs too!

2005-05-06T13:22:00.000-04:00

Goose had been sleeping on the battered old couch. She's awake now!

We like the pantry!

2005-02-09T06:51:00.000-05:00

Mommy decided to clean out the pantry last night. When Daddy is away, she tries to be organized. She said something about spring cleaning, but it isn't spring yet.

Mommy cleaned up the pantry when she was on the phone with our favvvvorite aunt. Hi Aunt H! She had our Aunt Cat here too.

We walked up to the open pantry, sniffed. Walked in. Mommy pushed us out. Then we went to the trash bag that Aunt Cat was packing and jumped in! Interesting smells and stuff there! She shooed us away so we crawled into the kitty toy. Mom calls this a soda fridge pack, but we all know it was meant for kitties to crawl inside!

Then we wanted to check out the filter for the range hood. It bounces when it is knocked over!

The best thing of ALL was when Mommy started to cook potato skins. She put these in a dish and got the oven on to be warmed. They have vbacon on them so of course we had to sneak a taste when she wasn't looking.

When she saw what she did, she shook her finger at us, but that was okay, we got bacon anyway!

Love and merps,
Goose

My name is Tyggie and these are my plans to take over the world. Muahahaha!

Mommy's going to post some pics!

2005-02-02T09:57:00.000-05:00

As soon as the camera's battery charges (whatever that means!) she'll take pictures of the rest of us!

Mommy is so entertaining!

2005-02-02T08:59:00.000-05:00

This morning, she decided she wanted to try to use something called an iced tea maker. Daddy bought this for her when we moved here, but they lost the booklet (Goose ate it!) and mommy downloaded and printed it out today.

The first thing she did was ran water through it. She said it was to clean it. Whatever it was, we were mesmerized. The water falls into the pitcher and its sooooo pretty!

Then she put this stuff in called tea. It smelled nice.I think she called it mango orange zinger. What a silly name! We all had to come up and sniff it. Mom got annoyed 'cause she said it was hot and we could get burned.

The water fell again but THIS time it was funny colored and smelled yummy. Some people say cats don't like citrus flavors, but we beg to differ.

As if this tea stuff in the machine wasn't enough, Mommy boiled some water because she wanted to try this stuff called Key Lime Colada tea. We didn't know where to look! Should we sniff the bag with the string on it or should we watch the funny colored water? It was sooo much fun!

Then, Mommy made things even harder for us to resist. She pulled out this stuff called fake sugar. We wanted a taste, but Mommy said no because they're chemicals. Whatever chemicals are, it looked like the white stuff that fell this weekend.

Now the colored water is in the cold box and mommy drank the key lime colada stuff. We're booooored! Entertain us, Mommy!

Cinders and the girls

My name is Cleo and I am an addict!

2005-02-01T23:37:00.000-05:00

I have found myself addicted to...laser pens! Mommy has a laser pen and teases me with it sometimes and I just find myself begging for more. If she doesn't comply, she gets the Puss-n-Boots look and if THAT doesn't work, I crawl on her lap and mew pitifully.

That's my story. My name is Cleo and I'm addicted!

Scary day!

2005-01-27T08:08:00.000-05:00

We were all sitting in front of the sliding glass doors that leads out to the deck, snoozing in the sunshine when it happened. An invader. A big WOOF!

Nala and I were closest and we jumped when we heard that woof. There was a big smelly dog pressing his wet nose against the glass. He woofed a few more times, no doubt trying to send us into heart attacks and then he GROWLED.

When we calmed down, we merped a bit curiously form our position under Mommy's chair. She still doesn't know how the dog got into our yard but he's gone now.

Love,
Goose and the crew

Dinner is funnnn!

2005-01-24T21:44:00.000-05:00

Mommy cooked dinner tonight and it was sooooooo much fun!

First, Daddy chopped up the pork and as soon as his back was turned, I grabbed a piece and ran away.

Mommy yelled at me and then made Daddy put me in the cat crate. And she wouldn't budge! I gave her my most pitiful looks and meowed and even gave her the Puss-n-Boots look. But noo! I had to stay in jail. I couldn't break through. Meooww! Hiss! Curses! Mommy's GOOD! She must have cute kitty repellant or something!

*Puts on innocent face and lick paw* Mommy's watching!

So, anyway, after I carried on, she and Daddy finally let me out. Their food was served but their was a pan I could lick. I went over to investigate and...hiss! Mommy was super duper efficient and put it in the dishwasher and let her food go cold.

While her back was turned, I became Super Nala of the Jungle and slunk toward her plate, but she was too fast for Super Nala and I only got my paw moist.

*Lick* So that's what sweet and sour pork tastes like!

What's a doghouse? Mommy says I'm in one after my behavior tonight!

Nala..Out!

A cat's work is never done!

2005-01-24T18:49:00.000-05:00

Daddy is home now and that means we get to romp with him. We're still a little freaked out about the winds and that white wet stuff that fell from the sky two wakeups ago. Mom called it snow.

We've had a purriful day and have loved the emails and posts here. Since our days are so exciting, here is a rundown of our activities.

Napped 70% of the day.

Preened 29.9% of the day.

The other .1% was spent romping, making mean faces at the squirrels and birds around, bathing each other and chasing each other around the house, knocking over anything not firmly attached to the ground. What fun we've had!

More later!
Your feline god and goddesses

Well, Mommy was productive today! She uploaded all of our furry visages. We'd love for you to pay homage to our cuteness. We'll carefully avoid mentioning that we threatened her with a flurry of claws and growls until she wrenched herself away from work (work, bah!) to figure out the program and send our pictures up. She must always remember her place. We chose her to see to our every need and gosh darnit, this was an important need!

It is 9 am. We're mostly watching the squirrels and birds playing in the food that Mommy left out. How touching that she saw to our entertainment concerns. What was that? No, surely she didn't do it so those lesser animals would have food. I didn't hear that *paws over ears*!

We'll merp at you later!

Pooky is the white one!

Nala Boo!

Welcome, welcome!

2005-01-24T04:35:00.000-05:00

Hello!

Welcome to the cat house. We will not be silenced!

Here is the merp-down on us!

Kassa, called Pooky
I'm the eldest and am a bit shy. I am all white and have big blue eyes. Mommy calls me the Diva because I am! I'm also "Number One". I was the first cat in the household! I arrived here in June, 1996 after Mommy fell in love with me at the pet store. I had been there for three months, because people were afraid that I was deaf. I'm not, but I do have a little trouble hearing. I mainly stay upstairs and keep to myself. My motor runs whenever anyone who I can love on gets close.

Utopia, called Goose.
I'm a year younger than Pooky. Mommy got me on her birthday in 1997 from a breeder. I'm a purebreed Bengal. Mommy calls me 'Miss Cattitude' because I have attitude and personality galore. I could be called special needs, since losing one of my kidneys during surgery last year. Mommy is very happy that this hasn't seemed to slow me down. I am the ultimate diva and will let Pooky know this!

Cinders, called Boycat/B.C.
I am the lone male in a sea of estrogen. Pity me! I was born in Australia and was a rescue cat. My dad rescued me in November of 2000 when I was only ten weeks old! Then, he met my mom and I made a long journey to America. I'm very social and chat long hours of the day. I'm a tuxedo cat.

Tygressa, called Tyggie/Tyggs
I'm a well-fed calico cat with a great friendly purrsonality. Cinders and I were adopted together, but I was only five weeks old when I came to live with my dad. I'm very affectionate and often give my parents head-butts when I need a little extra love.

Nala, called NalaBoo/BooCat
I am one of the newest cats in the house. I'm a purebreed Bengal that mom and dad rescued from a certain death in November of 2004. I'm VERY tightly bonded toMommy and I've got a bit of species confusion...am I a cat or a dog? I wag my tail and follow Mommy around like I was a dog, but I certainly must be a cat. Ispend my days curled up on Mommy's lap.

CleoCatra
Nala and I were adopted together. I have tiger stripes and a very quiet and shy purrsonality. I like to sit at the window watching the birds and squirrels. I'm still very shy but Mommy and Daddy are working to help me come out of my shell.
