Whoops! The Tagger Got me!

Well, when I told meowmy to check her kitty mail, I found out that there was a message from Jezebel.
She got me!
She tagged me!

I've been tagged in a new game! List 5 of the most annoying things your humans can do, then tag 5 friends to do the same and put it in their diaries.

Here are my answers, not necessarily in order of grump-worthiness...

1) Standing up after I just get settled on her lap! Rude!

2) Using the vacuum cleaner. Horrible!

3) Emptying the laundry basket, which removes the soft piles I was lying on. So not fair!

4) Brushing my teeth. Mean!

5) Pulling out the keyboard over top of me when I am on her lap, while she is doing Catster stuff. I may not be the biggest kitty around, but this still gives me the squishiest feeling.


Now: Who to tag?

1)Inky 1171739

2)Minka 1032539

3)Klemy Q-tip 134878

4)Meep 600373

5)Minuette 648490

If you already are tagged when you get this then just pass the tag on to another kitty who is deserving of this 'honor'! MOL!
You can also consider yourself tagged when you read this, if no one has already tagged you!

Shoelaces...

Right now I am in meowmy's lap, snoopervising her typing...and when I looked at the screen I saw my mane! So I shall have to stick around...even though meowmy says I make her tying so much harder...MOL! Hey! Aren't I more important than the 'puter! Yup! I thought so...

The other day, meowmy was making the Valentine's pictures for us...she thought things were going furry well, and then she started to take pics of the dog-guy! Well I just had to see what was going on,and I knew there was feathers and other interesting things there...So up I jumped and this is what I saw:
Minko Checking Out The Dog-Guy...

It almost looked like I was going to be swatting him...or maybe I wanted to snag that fuzz off of his noggin!
Then since this was a Valentine's photo session, I decided that dog-guy could use a smoochie:
Minko SmoochingThe Dog-Guy...

After all that business, I went to the laundry basket to find myself a soft spot to snooze on...But all that was there was a pair of sneakers and some hangers.
Being resourceful, I had some fun with the stuff. I pawed at the hangers and nearly got one into the basket, from where it was hanging on the edge! I wanted to bite it!

Then I decided the shoes were way more fun! I put my paw inside them, but they were empty of 'snaggables', so then i found the shoelaces! The best toy of all!
I could swat them around, chew on them and drag the shoes around, too.
The chewing was most satisfactory, until meowmy discovered that, and put an end to it! Busted! She said those were to be part of her uniform for when she takes her classes in April to be a nurse's aide...well didn't she think I was trying to help her by taking those hard things off the shoelace ends? She would not want to get stabbed by them, would she?
I just will nevfur understand why our humans do not like the things we do for them!
MOL!

Meowmy Made Some Big Oopsies!

OMC! Meowmy was a bit hasty & careless...and she is hanging her head in shame...she emptied a folder in which there were a lot of pictures that she made & sent to kitties...(and doggies, too...), and now some of them have dissappeared into the wide depths of cyberland, swallowed up furefur!

If you are the sad 'victims' of this occurence, let meowmy know, and she will try to get ou a new one to replace the lost one...let her know what you lost and what is was for, etc.
She wants to correct this situation, ASAP.

It happened to her once, too, but her pic was also on her hard disc, so she could retrieve it that way!

Have a nice day, nonetheless!
Purrs!

Too Many Distubances Around Here!

Wow!
Lately there has been just so much noise around our area. I do not care for it, and sometimes meowmy is finding me furry skittish...likely because my poor little nerves are frazzled!

First, there have been a lot of trucks rumbling up and down our road the past few weeks. They are also the cause of a worse noise, they carry big saws to cut down trees whose branches are having the offense of being in the way of the power lines...these trucks also have even noisier machines on them that grind up parts of the trees..like the bigger branches.

And after 2 weeks of peace inside the house, because that evil sucking machine was in the shop getting a heart transplant or something, it came back, all ready to do the noisy stuff again. ACK!

We have had a fair bit of snow, too. At least it falls very gently and quietly...but the plows make our house shake!

And every night when it gets dark there are loud noises outside...we are in an area that has a snowmobile club's trail in front of our home...those noisy machines rumble all around those trails, over and over again!
They even disturb the dog-guy...and make him growl and bark...more racket!

The other night, there was even a siren and then a loud noise coming over us from the sky!
Turns out that there had been a bad accident from some dudes who were partying and then driving...bad combination!
The one man had to be airlifted and the helicopter went right over our house! We are about 25 miles from a major trauma center, so we do get these copters now and then.

And since we live near a National Guard base, they do some flying practice, too...to further disturb my peace and that of all of us peeps and furs.

Sheesh!
You would think that country living would be a lot more peaceful!

Have a nice quiet night all my furends in Catsterland!

Fluffy Snow and Fluffy Foxtail!!

We have been watching the big fluffy snowflakes coming down...but we are not sad that we have to stay inside...where we will be keeping warm and cozy.
We got about 3 inches, and while that is plenty enough as far as meowmy and pawppy are concerned, we are so glad that we did not get that huge dump/blizzard that a lot of other peeps and furs did...OMC! Too much!

While we were watching out of the window, we also saw a big orange creature in the neighbour's yard, near the woods...meowmy saw it, too. She thought it was a big orange cat, but with binoculars she could see that it was a FOX!
Haven't had one here that close in a long time, years actually. There are foxes that meowmy sees now and then in our area, but not visible from our own windows!

The other neighbours a few doors to the north of us, have chickens that roam free...I wonder if this fox snags one for a dinner now and then.

Well, I would like to go into my kitty nest now...and snooze the long night away!I wonder how the poor fox stays warm? He sure had fluffy furs and his/her tail was like a large brush...I think it would at least keep the foxes snoot warm.

Purrs!

The Comfy Place!

Since I like a comfy spot that is warm and soft, I could really relate to this:
Mutts, Jan 10, 2011

I hope all you kitties will get a good Goldilocks style giggle, too!
Purrs!

Mayhem!

Today, after dinner, the sun was shining so brightly...on the diningroom table...and there was a nice plump pile of pot holders in the muddle of the sunpuddle, nevermind that this was a forbidden spot...I decided to sit there and enjoy the warmth.
Meowmy saw this and started to motion to pawppy to show him how I was there, but dog-gut saw this too...He did something really naughty! He just stood there and had a big woof, and suddenly he was up on the table with me! Oh-oh! OMC! He was scary and right in my face. Nevermind that sometimes we are buddies...not this time! There was a scuffle, and off we both jumped, and ran! Pipo had to come over to add to the melee and mayhem!
Now the new plastic tablecloth is full of holes from the claws on the paws...of not me but dog-guy!
Good thing the spawsial cloth Christmas cloth had been taken off a few days earlier! That would also have had holes...sorry meowmy, I shall try not to draw attention to myself when I am sitting in sun puddles on the table...

Meowmy and pawppy were laughing so hard...they almost didn't see the holes...but really, 't know why they should laugh, I thought that dog-guy should get into trouble! He is NOT allowed up there, ever! Not even in sun puddles!

Purrs!

Stinky Minky In The Stink!

OMC! It sure was stinky here!
My mortal enemy decided it was time to make a stink of things, instead of doing its work...but since this machine is no furend of mine, I wasn't too sad...except I wish it had made its stinky smoke in the back porch instead of my den!
The vacuum sucking machine went on the fritz! It even made such a protest that it left a dumping of soot on the carpet!!
Let one of us kitties try to leave dumps in the middle of the carpet! Meowmy was not impressed...but I for one could not be happier...noisy beasts like that should not be allowed to enter our den, and disturb our peace.
Well, she took it outside, and aired out the house. Imagine all the windows being open in the dead of winter! Pipo & I just cuddled in one of our cozy nests...
At least we didn't have to endure the screeching of the smoke alarm, because it was in the process of being replaced...having also gone into defunct mode!
Why is it that stuff always breaks in groups of events...?
So until the sucking machine comes back from the shop to do more work here, I shall be enjoying the peace and quiet, even if meowmy doesn't care for all the extra furs she can see on stuff now! Hee-hee!

Purrs!

Where are My Toys?

Hey! I was taking a nap, and suddenly I heard all the rustling and bustling in the house...Meowmy was busy with something...she had long strands of beads in her hands, OMC! My favorite kind of toy to chase...Then I saw a box of balls...and the number of balls in the box was getting larger by the second...and then the paper angel caught my attention...and best of all, the big red ribbon from that real wreath on the front door...I tried to grab that, before it was put into the same place as the other things...It would appear that meowmy is putting away all the Christmas decorations, my toys! Boo!

They were fun to bat and swat at...while they were all over the house, doing their job of brightening up the den for Christmas, and for me and Pipo's amusement!

Then I spied that little red basket that Pipo had his picture taken in...a miniature laundry basket!
OK meowmy...could I try that one for a ride, pawlease?!
She did put me in it, and I happily went for another thrill ride, but this time dog-guy was not paying attention! He was bored!

It sure looks bare, now! I wonder when the house will be full of novel toys for us kitties to play with...do peeps decorate for Valentines...?
It is also kind of quiet here, as my unfurbros have gone back to college.

I guess I shall have to be satisfied with my regular kitty toys, now! MOL!

Purrs!

Happy New Year In The Laundry Basket!

Mewing my greetings to all of my furends for a happy and wonderfur New Year! Wow! 2011, already!
Meowmy found a nice picture of the hoar frost, in our local newspaper:
Hoar Frost
It sure was a pretty sight!

I have been introduced to a new fun thing...Laundry basket thrill rides!

I got into the bedrooms as meowmy was putting the laundry away. Normally she would have just placed me back out side the door...but dog-guy was there, and he likes to try and catch me when I am at the top of the stairs...so meowmy thought that she would prevent that...so when she went back down, she put me in the laundry basket, picked up the whole thing under her arms and went through the door...dog-guy was waiting, and looking to see where I was...but for once I was quiet and didn't mew or sing...so dog-guy just looked up there for me and when he came down again, I was already there...he looked so confused! MOL! That ride in the laundry basket was great. All the way through the whole house, like being in an amusement park thrill ride! I didn't even try to jump out! Meowmy was surprised!
I shall have to try that again sometime...I wonder if Pipo would find it as fun as I did?

Did any of you feel yesterday's earthquake? Mewomy was still in bed, and she thought that I or Pipo was in the bed, because her blankets were juggling...but I was hiding under the coffee table!
