Guests this evening

I've had my Fancy Feast & mom helped me with my grooming by brushing me. We're expecting a couple guests in just a few hours. They won't be staying all night but will be here 'til around 10 while one of their moms is at work. It's 2 teen girls and I always get excited when we have visitors. I head butt & rub on them for a while for free scritchies!

Mom is planning to make a pizza for the 3 of them (her and the other girls) and she made brownies last night. I don't get to eat any people food cuz mom doesn't want me to be sick but I sure love to get a whiff of it. She put the brownies in a tupperware container in the fridge overnight to keep them good and keep me from getting into them.

They're going to play with me, play Uno, watch a movie & hang out.

New photos!

If you visit my page you'll see a few new pics. Mom wants to fix the tear in my kitty cube but I'm in it so much she can't fix it safely!

DDP and new video coming soon!

Mom took video of me at my food dish on the new camera and it's more smooth and stable looking than anything from the Canon. So she's thinking she'll use the tripod with the Canon and just hand hold the Nikon. Today will be nice out so she's considering a short trip to the garden with thousands of flowers to take comparison shots from both once her Nikon is charged up.

Thanks for making me a DDP!

Mom has a new camera!

Mom's been waiting for the time, money & camera price to be right. She finally bought her Nikon Coolpix P510 today that she's been wanting for a long while. She loves that it has pet portrait so she can get better pictures of me. It automatically takes pictures when it senses my cat face. The color is truer to life as well and picks up my lush fluffy black fur coat. Her Canon was ok but I looked gray or brown more than black in most of those photos. She's got 15 days to make sure she absolutely wants it so she's gonna use it to the max and try out everything she can (one problem, no more fireworks) on it both photos and video.

By the way, hope you're loving the new video I added the other night! She wants to keep the Canon since it uses AA batteries.

Happy black cat appreciation day!

I just had my chicken gravy Fancy Feast and now that I'm cleaned up I just wanted to wish the other black cats out there a happy appreciation day! Meow!

Of course I'm appurciated every day by my loving mom. We look forward to sharing Halloween photos! She's buying a new camera with pet portrait so I'll look even better!

What a storm!

Mom and I are "Safe and Sound" as Taylor put it. We had a whopper of a hail storm in the past couple hours, mom went down & picked some up to keep in her freezer. She swears its cold as ice!

We hid out in the bathroom together during the worst. She knows how much I love to sit by the window and watch but it was so noisy I'm not sure that I would have. We cuddled and I soothed both of us with my purring. It couldn't have been too much worse than it was other than if a tornado hit. It's on the move and heading for the cities.

All is normal again

Mom sure was busy this past weekend w/ family & the fair in town. Everything is normal now, just the 2 of us together at home alone. She cleaned yesterday & is going out for lunch with another web specialist in an hour and then will be home to make sure the shopping list covers everything she'll need for the next few days. She stock piled a month of food for me weeks ago that I'm still eating so when it gets low she can get more. I'll need wet before dry.

Fair judges here love cats!

Mom picked up her displays this evening. Most blue ribbons & stickers were awarded to cat related displays so mom thinks they are partial to cute kitties! Makes purrfect sense right?

Mom had a generous helping of fair foods so isn't hungry.

I want my mommy!

The fair may be in town but so are a lot of distant-living 2 legged family members of her family, so she's trying to spend some time with them while they are here. That hasn't given us a whole lot of 1 on 1 time together so she's making up for it by letting me on her lap while she's on the computer reviewing the photos she has taken. She can only do the Photoshop fix up basics while I'm on her lap, she needs both hands to do a complete edit.

This is her last weekend off, she has a lot of stuff to do so she can get her business started soon.

We got a blue ribbon sticker!

As you know mom made the tough decision to pick 5 pawsome photos of me to enter at the fair. She went out today and found out that the judges liked my photos so much they gave it a blue ribbon sticker approval! It's not an actual ribbon, it's a sticker that looks like one. That's the best she's done in the past few years of competition so we're very purroud of ourselves.

She smells a little funky tonight from all the fair food, other animals at the fair & other family pets etc she's been around just today. She's totally gonna shower tomorrow before the big party tomorrow.
