Total Score (Place your score/name in your Diary Title):


My Score is 12 Cool Cat
0-5 LAIDBACK LOVEBUG: You are a lovebug. You are sweet (and probably floofy) and you go with the flow. Nothing *really* bothers you and you like everybody. You don’t even mind having a feisty sibling! You are a laidback lovebug!

6-15 COOL CAT: You are one cool cat. Smooth with a touch of mischief. You’ve got a bit of feisty in you and a bit of lovebug. Balance is good; you know how to have a good time by chasing and pouncing AND you know how to have a good time by being a mellow kitty and just hanging out. You are a cool cat!

16+ CRAZY FEISTY: You are a nut. A cheeky little monkey! Crazy, feisty, the talk of the town! Chasing kitty sisters, demanding your human feed you NOW, eating your mom’s favorite pair of shoes, turning on the oven with your freakishly strong teeth just because you can! The world is your playground and you’ll try anything once (or twice). If your human can handle the shenanigans of a CRAZY FEISTY kitty cat, all is good! If your human cannot handle the shenanigans, wait until she leaves for work to get crazy and then blame it on your sistercat when your human comes home! You are crazy feisty (and a whole lot of mischievous fun!)!

Any kitty that wants to play is invited! Feel free to tag friends to find out just how feisty your friends are!

tagged!

My best bud Milagrito tagged me! I have to name 5 things my human does that annoy me. I'm pretty easy going, so she's lucky that way. But, I can still come up with five!

1. Fafnir. I am really annoyed she brought home Fafnir and his presence continues to annoy me.

2. The vet. Mommy takes me to the vet at least twice a year because I'm "older". Whatever. I'm 12...she's 50! And then she brings me for acupuncture and chiropractics. I don't like the vet and I don't like the ride to the vet. It annoys me and makes me barf.

3. She keeps the toilet lid down and I like to drink out of the toilet. She even goes behind after her friends who visit and puts the lid down if they don't.

4. Mommy has a "no ribbons in the house" policy. I LOVE ribbons! I love to play with them and chew them and bite them and eat them. When I eat them, mommy takes me to, guess where! The emergency vet because I prefer to do this on holiday, nights and weekends.

5. I bought my beautiful wife Pepper a 2 million dollar gem encrusted "bra" (harness) for when she goes outside for our anniversary. I used mommy's credit card because I stole it once and memorized the number. Mommy was not thrilled when she saw her bill and she changed her credit card number. Now I'm without means for purchasing special gifts for my beloved. Rats!

I am not sure who I'm going to tag yet, but I will come up with some. If you read this in the meantime, please tag yourself!!!


PS I tagged some kitties now! I tagged Cali, Bastian, Lily, Allie Kat, and Torbjorn

My birthday

My birthday is the same as my "Gotcha Day." I think that's pretty cool. Mom can reflect on the day I came into her life and celebrate my existence all at once. It's hard to believe that it's been 8 years since she saw me in a pile of kitties at the shelter and asked about me. As soon as she started walking toward me, I got up and gave her a headbutt on her shin...and stayed there. It was love at first bonk, shall we say? She was a goner.
I have to say it's been a pretty good home, in spite of the fact that Fafnir lives with us and I do not like him one bit!!! I have a good time pushing Tweak's buttons and Tenszing is not too bad. But, the real truth is I'm a total Mama's boy. I love to be near her all the time, and she loves it too. I'm her sweetie, she tells me that every day. She loves when I steal things, when I get all sassy about getting wet food or treats, when I put my butt in her face (who doesn't love that?), when I "help" her get dressed in the mornings by playing with her clothes. She loves everything about me!
So, happy birthday and happy Gotcha to me!!!

Another Day in Paris

Answer me this....what could POSSIBLY be more fun than trotting around Paris with 5 other cats, especially when one is the love of your life? Nothing! We decided to all hang out together and rumble around. Milagrito is soooo funny! He has the quickest wit and such a great view of the world. Today we decided to stroll around Marais, in the 3rd arronoblehdisblehment, er, District. there are a lot of museums (some really quirky) and more restaurants and shops. There's even a Jewish Deli with Cheesecake! Of course, we stopped there!
There's a really cool timbered building from the middle ages! Mommy is in her middle ages, so we Tweak and I thought the building was built around the time mommy was born! MOL!!!!!! We all bought lots of stuff at Place des Vosges, so we can be all hip in our "bobo" style...bourgois bohemian. The ladies look hot in their tight jeans and slouchy t-shirts with espedrilles. They looked cold too, so they changed back into more appropriate cold weather clothes. They'll go for the bobo look in warmer weather.
OK, so museums...it was cool to check out the Picasso museum. I just dont' get that whole cubist thing. The Musee de la Poupee is not about poop, as one might expect. It's about dolls. And we went here, Musee de la Curiosite et de la Magie Anything with Curiosite and Magie has got to be cool...it is! Milagrito knew how all the tricks were done! He is one smart cat!

a side note

Good thing I'm in Paris and mommy did not REALLY step on my foot last night! OUCH!!!!!!!!! Bad mommy! Yep, good thing I'm in Paris.

Ahh amour in Paris!

Pepper and I had the most delightful annifursary!!! I won't go into details, but we had a spectacular time. The food was incredible!!! And the super plush and squishy down comforters...I want to take one home with me!!!

I think today Pepper and I might check out some of the Paris markets. Maybe we'll find a portrait artist to paint a picture of us. That would be great! And of course we'll go to Printemps. I think it's one of the only department stores we missed our first day here! Mommy thought it would be fun if we went to the opera, but who wants to listen to screeching sopranos? Maybe the symphony. We'll have to go to Place de la Concorde and we can pretend we are Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron and dance like in An American in Paris.

How does Cafe de la Paix sound for dinner? We could meet up with Lilly and Milagrito. Here's a little review:
Lap up every detail - this is once-in-a-holiday stuff. Whether you're out on the historic terrace or looking up at the ornate stucco ceiling, you'll be sipping in the footsteps of the likes of Oscar Wilde, Josephine Baker, Emile Zola, and Bartholdi and the Franco-American Union (as they sketched out the Statue of Liberty). Let the immaculate staff bring you a kir (€12) or, for an afternoon treat, the vanilla millefeuille - possibly the best in Paris.

Annifursary in Paris

Today is the day! Pepper and I have been married for a whole year, can you believe it? I can't get over how lucky I am to have a kitty like Pepper in my life. She is amazing. We're just going to "hang out" in our room today. I'm surprising her will all of her favorite foods from room service. I was able to arrange our favorite chef, Emeril, to make us some Cajun delights! Jacques Torres is providing the chocolates!!! Special cat friendly chocolates! The rest of the day is between Pepper and me.

See you tomorrow!

My first annfursary with Pepper

Pepper and I will have been married for ONE year on January 11. Can you believe it? I can't. She amazes me more and more with each passing day. And I love her soooo much!!!!

Right now we are flying over the Atlantic, in first class of course. Did I tell you Pepper arranged this entire trip? We are going with Dashy and Tweak and Lilly and Milagrito.

I am most looking forward spending time with my honey. And everything she wants to do is what we will do because it will be what I want to do too. I know the girls all want to go shopping so I brought mommy's credit card along! And her debit card too. I'm sure she won't mind. She has been to Paris and is really jealous of our trip. I figure using her cards will make her feel as though she went again! I have a secret shopping date set up at the Christian LeCroix and Louis Vuitton boutiques for Pepper so she can pick out some fabulous items there. Champagne and everything!

I would like to spend a little time with the boys and some with the whole group because they are a great group to travel with, but I hope the bulk of the time is just me and my Pepper, strolling along the Left Bank, picking up some paintings, eating crepes, enjoying out hotel *wink*, doing some fine dining, watching the sunset from the Eiffel Tower.

Well, time to snuggle in our seats and await our arrival in Paris!!!

Tagged by Milagrito

I was tagged by my bud, Milagrito. I have to say what kind of vegetable, fruit and flower I am and why. And I'm supposed to be thoughtful about it.

So, I thought about it overnight.

Let's see. Vegetable. I am sweet and comforting and comfortable so I have to come up with a comfort food type veggie. I also can be passive aggressive and devilish. So, I say I'm (and I hope it's OK so specify how the vegetable is cooked) mashed sweet potatoes with ginger. Sweet, yummy, makes you smile veggie with a touch of spice.

Fruit. I'm going to say apple because a Wiggy a day keeps the doctor away!

Flower. This one is a little tougher. I do like to eat flowers, especially impatiens. I'm not impatient though, nor do I fit the description of "busy lizzy", the other name for that flower. If I were to pick a flower for Fafnir, I would say that really stinky flower on the Century Plant! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA But back to me. I'm going with tulips...maybe a bright red tulip. Tulips always make my mommy smile (she says they're happy flowers) and so do I!
However, upon further thinking, I will say I am the Anthurium. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthurium) The flower rather resembles the private parts of boy cats. I often display that to my mom when I am standing on mom's stomach with my butt in her face and she is scratching right above my tail. Mommy asks me if I'm happy to have my butt scratched or I have an anthurium in my pants...ROFMOL

I have tagged Pepper, Lilly, Chai Latte Capone, Aldo Chapter 2, Petey Rose and Hannah

I've been tagged!

Lilly, my sister's husband's sister, tagged me. I have to tell 7 fabulous things about myself. If I tag YOU, then YOU do too!

1. I have my very own acupuncturist. I have an old sports injury in my hip from my professional football days (or something like that) that is now arthritic. My acupuncturist loves me and says I'm her favorite patient.

2. Everyone who meets me, loves me. I am a very sweet and loving boy cat. And I don't stink and I don't have cooties. Tweak will disagree with that, but she's a girl cat.

3. I am engaged to the beautiful Pepper! She is a stunning calico, and she's brilliant and kind and funny and thoughtful and pretty and has lots of cool colors and is queen of the cheetahs and has a bra and I love her!

4. I was the campaign manager for Milagrito's run for President. Unfortunately, despite having many scandals involving thongs, junkets to foreign lands on compaign funds, misusing Air Force One (there were cats running around naked and drinking) and interspecies romances, Milagrito did not win. Sadly, we did not think of the half hour infomercial. Rats!

5. I once sat a on piece of turkey that I did not want to eat, but Fafnir did. He kept trying to poke me to get the turkey and I kept smacking him in the head. heeheeheehee I really liked hitting Fafnir's head. He is such a pain in my butt.

6. Mommy calls me the chair vulture. I steal her seat when she gets up. heeheehee It's nice and warm!

7. I give everyone I meet a chance to scratch my butt, right above my tail. Well, if I like them. So far I haven't met anyone I haven't liked. I'm an equal opportunity butt cat!

I am going to stroll through some cats and randomly pick some to tag, so I don't know who they are...yet!!!
