Foiled and Busted!

I have been quite vocal lately...singing to my toys, my mousies and so on.
And to my pawrents, which I normally don't do too much. but I have been walking up and down the length of the house and miaowing and singing all the way. When I see meowmy or pawppy, I sing even louder...and get all lovey to them. One would think I was a lady kitty in heat...MOL! MOL!

Maybe I am just getting more 'needy' in my older years! MOL!

I had fun in some bags today. I think bags were invented by a kitty person, just for our benefit!
They crinkle so nicely and are great places to hide in, too.

Since my unfurbros have been home all week on their break, I have been blessed with a full laundry basket in which to deposit my furs...even though I heard pawppy say that he did not need a drawer full of kitty hairs, just underwear is what he needs in there...MOL!

Last night I was naughty!
Meowmy went upstairs to the bedrooms which are off limits to any of us furs...and as soon as she opened the door, I shot through it.
It was one time that I was not singing my kitty tunes...
Well there I was, and I ran to unfurbros bedroom, because mostly you can find good hidey spots there...but not this time.
All their 'junk' was on the floor, blocking my access to those places. Meowmy scooped me up before I could get to my plan 'B' of where I was going to hide!
Busted yet again!!

Sigh...

Have a nice weekend, furs and peeps!

(Maybe I shall try the bedroom game again next week, because the unfurbros will be back at school, along with all their 'junk'...)

Flying Furballs!

I was all cuckoo again the other day, and Pipo and I were playing the chase game to its fullest, almost to the point of a tiff.
Well at the end of one of those mad-cat-through-the-house dashes, meowmy heard a yowl/yelp and when she looked up, there was a big wad of some cat's fur floating by her in the air!

A flying furball! She could not find any bald places on either of us...and we were not going to reveal whose fur that was...

Purrs!


Thanks for all the kind and fun comments on my newly posted pics.

Encased and Trapped!

Encased and trapped by the ice, that is! OMC! So much freezing rain! On top of a few inches of fresh snow...so that we feel like we are embalmed by it.
And right now there is more snow coming down. UGH! We want the warm weather back that we had, only last Saturday! Then it was sunny, too, and our grass was totally bare of snow, and Meowmy was even pulling weeds from the back woods! What a change! Old man winter is playing tricks!

We could hardly get out back door open, and the gates were solidly frozen shut.
When my peeps were trying to clear the walkway, they had to get the edge of the shovel into the bottom,and then use the shovel as a lever to break off hunks of that thick ice. They were so thick they broke off in chunks like large patio stones. We could have made ourselves an ice patio! Or set them on their sides to make walls for a fort...

The ice was so thick, and not let the trees bend and sway in the wind as normal. So then a huge tree broke off, right at the place where the branches all start. It left a big hole in the snow and frozen ground. And it just missed clunking on my pawrents back shed. Phew!

A lot of peeps lost power today, but we were not so plagued. Thank you, God!
I think that not a few of our kitty pals have been impacted by this same messy and dangerous storm. Hope that all of you are warm safe and cozy.
We were warm and cozy all day, but we have been missing Mr Sunshine around here.
Pawppy had the day off because it was President's Day, hoping that tomorrow will be having better conditions!

Nobody went anywhere today...it sure was nice to have them here with us!

Purrs to all of you, and to all a good night!

My Gotcha Day is a Valentine!

Whoo-hoo!
Today I commemorate the day that meowmy took me from my birth home, which was an awful place, to say the least! I was such a scrawny runt, and while I am still not the biggest kitty on the face of the earth, I have been given a huge helping of furevfur love, of the wonderfur Valentine type, that has made me thrive and become a handsome kitty dude, if I say so myself!

Last night I mewed loudly fur my (secret) Valentine! I hope she was listening!

Tonight I am astounded at all the love and Valentine spirit that is flooding my page and in-box!
Thanks to all who have sent me gifts, messages and pictures.

I shall try and nab my catretary to send out thank you's fur me, but it may be a while, as she isn't able to spend too much time here...and now she just found out that the bottom panel of her van, was ruined by some pothole incident...Hiss to all those wintery woes...

Meanwhile hug your furmily members with sweet paws and purrs, for a wonderfur start to your Valentine evening!

Purrs!

Valentine's Day Purr-oetry

Well, as I mewed in my last entry, I do have a Valentine, albeit a secret one.

So I have composed a little poem fur her, in honor of the occasion. I know that when she reads it, she will know it is fur her!


Minko's Valentine Verse

I have a Valentine,
Lovely as sweet wine.
She asked to 'Be Mine?'
And I did not decline!
So our hearts now shine,
With that cupid's design;
With an arrow so fine,
He made us: Valentine!

Hoping and purring that my Valentine has a wonderfur day, and that all of my Catster furends also have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Purrs!
Minko

Towering Bed and Secrets...

The other day, meowmy came back from doing errands, she was in a hurry and did not put all the bags away promptly. Bad mistake with curious kitties about!She uses a lot of canvas tote bags, so 2 of these were stacked atop eachother on the kitchen island...she heard a 'preep' sound, which is my 'I am curious' chirping sound, and then she heard a thunk, which was me jumping up on the island. Since I use that for my perch a lot, she didn't think anything of it...then she got up from where she had been relaxing with her tea, and OMC I was the top section of a big tower! My little kitty body was higher than her head, I was on top of the topmost canvas bag, which was further softened by her wooly hat and thick gloves! It was a wonder the whole business did not come crashing down! Now that would have made for an exciting entry, here!
Meowmy giggled at me, and went for her camera, but as soon as I heard the 'ping' of it being turned on, I jumped down...end of the photo opp! Sorry meowmy!

Later I went back up there, but the bag tower had been dismantled... So I found other things to do, one of which is my fave things to pester meowmy with...I was pawing in the doggy dish which is not used for food, but which is kind of a catchall for doggy items that need a temporary resting place, like the doggy whistle! I love to snag the string that it is on, and pull it out of the dish, and then knock it to the floor! I am always testing out the theory of gravity! MOL!
But this time meowmy said, NO...and she took my 'toy' and stuffed it in the drawer instead. Busted, yet again!

I wanted to try a nibble at an extra dog cookie that was in that dish, too, but meowmy took that away, too. Good grief! She nevfur lets me have any fun!

Speaking of fun, Valentine's Day should be a lot of fun...and I do have one of my furry own gal kitties who has claimed me...but it is a secret! She asked me! Wow! So I did not say no, cause it is fun to have a secret Valentine of your own! this kitty was smitten with me even before the lovely and discerning Samoa put me on her official list of dreamboats!

But I really do not have a real girlfurend...or date...let alone a kitty gal to get married to! Meowmy says that fur one, I am too young, naive and I just need to have furends...Well fur sure I do have loads of furry great furends here on catster! Thanks! I love all of you and wish fur you all to be able to be my valentine! MOL!

Here is my Valentine's picture:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Good question...but actually all 3 of those hearts are meowmy's...she made all of them and the big pillow, was made when she was about 12, she thinks!
But I will love any heart that is beautifur, kind and willing to put up with me pushing them out of the way, because I always want to be where you are! MOL!

Happy Valentines Day!

Rabbits For A Whole Year?!

OMC! I keep hearing all about rabbits! I think that perhaps I wouldn't mind chasing one...or a lot of them...I do not now what they taste like, even though dog-guy has told me about his encounters with not a few of them...
Well, then, meowmy set me straight...It is Chinese New Year!
And this is the year of the Rabbit!
HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! YEAR OF THE RABBIT 2011
So now all these bunnies and hares and other lupine creatures are going to be evfurrywhere?
Well, I do not know how I will feel after this year is ended...all these furry critters over running the calendar! MOL! And not only that, what will the Easter Bunny think? Will he be a Chinese Bunny this year? Or do the Chinese peeps have an Easter Bunny? What about the EverReady rabbit? Well he can make lots of noise for the celebratory things that go on for a new year's event. And he won't wear out either! MOL!

At any rate, if they are warm and fuzzy, maybe I could line my nesting spot with a few of them and we could be good at keeping eachother warm...that is if I can keep them a way from my dog-guy brofur!

Well enough dreaming...I don't think this type of mewsings and dreaming was what Samoa had in mind when she made me one of her dreamboats the other day! MOL!

Purrs!

Dreamboat Or Dreamsicle?

OMC!
Yesterday when the Blizzard of 2011 was just getting started and the winds were howling here, as the temp was dropping and we were all in the deep grip of winter, I became a Dreamboat.
Perhaps right now it may work better as a dream-sleigh, because of the huge, deep blanket of snow we have here, now.
Or since it is so cold, it could even be called a Dreamsicle, and who doesn't like those? MOL!
The very discerning and beautifur Samoa
picked me to be one of her Dreamboats! Wow! OMC! I shall fall over with the very idea! What an honor to even make the cut for consideration!
Thanks so much, Miss Samoa! I shall wear any boa that meowmy decides I have to model, with pride, as I will be doing it for you! Maybe that is why I wanted to steal the fluffy boa off of the dog-guy, as in a pic in a diary entry on Jan 25, 2011...

I wonder how many lady cats will come by to swoon over me, or try to smooch on me!? MOL!

Well, our road has still not been plowed, and pawppy had to stay home yet another day, because he can't get out! Always something!
We have seen lots of snowmobiles using the road, and some very brave, (or stupid?) cars...
We hope all our furends will be warm and safe through all of this mess!

And what of the poor Mr Phil?
How on earth will he be able to do his 'job' if he can't even get out of his hole to see whether or not there is a shadow? I shall have to send dog-guy over there to help dig him out...he is a master digger, that's for sure!

I sure hope that this groundhog dude tells us that spring will be just around the corner so to speak!

Well that is enough blathering about all this most snowy and dreamy stuff...
Time for a nice cozy catnap!

Purrs!

Meowmy Pawlease Be More Carefur!

Well meowmy has pretty much gotten her toe back to normal, though there is still a nice evil looking red line where all the swelling had been. Antibiotics are wonderfur when they are needed, so she willl be a good patient and take the full course of them because she does not want or need a recurrence!

She was able to go out and get the foods, cause we are expecting a snow storm/blizzard over the next day or so.
UGH!

Now that meowmy is better, poor pawppy has the 'flu. He got up at 6 am, and meowmy was surprised to hear him come back to the bedroom furry quickly after that! He said I feel sick! He did not go to work, nor the meeting he had scheduled for the evening. And he stayed in bed. Not even on the couch where we could be his kitty nurses. Hope he feels better tomorrow, because it will not be good if meowmy has to clear the walk and driveway of the predicted dump of snow!

Speaking of not being a good thing...I had to run away from meowmy!
When she came home from her errands, she went to the desk to check on her emails and catster and stuff.
So of course I had to get close to be the snoopervisor. Meowmy was reading something while she was shedding her coat. Hey! Ouch!
Be carefur meowmy! And off I ran. Then meowmy realized she had hit me in the face with her zipper pull on her coat. It is a heavy swingy thing and it swung right into my face! Ouch!

Meowmy came to try and tell me that she was sorry, but I was annoyed with her, and was not going to let her pick me up. Only after several minutes and when the offending garment was gone, did I allow her to pet on me and love on me. Purrs...and I forgave her...cause truly I knew she did not mean to be hurting me.
She could see that no harm was done, except perhaps to my ego!


Purrs!

Meowmy Has Paranoia and A Felon?

Meowmy has been suffering with this thing she called felon paranoia...or something like that!
Wow! Shouldn't a felon be in jail?
Then she wouldn't need to be having paranoia...Then she laughed and said...Minko it is more like a pear-on-chia...but I am still so confused, cause I have heard that Chia is those pets that grow green hair. I don't want meowmy to have green hair. And pears are also things that my peeps eat...
And why didn't she play with me furry much the last 2 days, is she that paranoid about this felon dude?
She must be worried that all the extra motions will cause more troubles...
Then she actually went away for several hours. She hardly ever goes away on Saturday...
When she came back, she had a little bag and a little pink litter box. She took off her socks, and put her foot in that litterbox! OMC! She is loosing her mind with this paranoia!
The little bag did not have any treats or catnip for me in it...
She asked pawppy to do some of her chores...
And her leg is up on a pillow, too.

Poor meowmy said her big toe got an in-fex-shun...and it was so owie,and looked like a red balloon, (She didn't even let me swat at the balloon...), that she went to some place where they gave her advice and a little bag full of red treats that she has to use for 10 days...
Today, she says it already is making some of that paranoia go away! Goody!
I don't like it when she has these troubles that are so bad they even prevented her from having much shut eye.

She says sorry if she missed stuff here, cause she was so tired and ouchie.

While I would have had fun swatting balloons, I am just glad that I won't have to chase away any felons!

Purrs!!


(In case you are wondering the medical term is paronychia, or felon, or ingrown toenail...)
