New Moon, DDP, Dyson!

Oooooooooo mom and dad just got back from seeing the 11am show of New Moon. Mom couldn't fall asleep as she woke up yesterday at 4pm. While she tried to go to bed at 5am today, we kept waking her up so she stayed up and then went to the movie w/ daddy.

IT WAS PAWSOME!!!!! And then I come home and see I'm a DDP!!! AND!!! We missed the UPS guy but something came for us weighing 30 pounds so we're guessing it's the Dyson DC25 we just ordered last Tuesday (we were charged, got the invoice via email, but never got info on the ship date). I know Murray in NY is having issues too.

Daddy is getting the package now! Weeeeeeeeeeee

Thank you everyone for your kind pawmails, comments and rosettes. I'll have to do thank you's later as mom and dad want sleep as they've been up for 22 hours!

Not fair!

So mom had cooked some plain chicken breasts the other day for sandwich meat and for a salad. Naturally she cooks one for us cats only. So we were all going nuts in the kitchen when she opened up the bag designated for us.

Dang Mittens! HE IS A CHUBBY HOG!!! We all got a few pieces and I might add, we all SAVORED the taste!! Mittens? He INHALED the chicken! Like mom would put a piece down for all of us... WE all would CHEW our chicken... Mittens? As soon as it hit the floor? BAM! GONE! INHALED!!

And I bet you all thought I ate the fastest... WRONG! Not fair as he ate so dang fast that he'd eat MY piece of chicken and PorkChop's ration! Tiski would NOT have any of that so he would growl like he does when he goes "nom nom". Poor Hondo only got a few pieces as he's a divo and eats slow...

NOT FAIR!

Priorities...

Hmph, we're still out of zealies but they're coming next week THANKFULLY 'cause it's Allie's bday and who knows what Fido would have done if we didn't have zealies by then! I mean, 25-30 or what ever we get isn't enough for cats with icky siblings!!!

Besides, I gotta give Calvin a WELCOME TO CATSTER gifty and more so 'cause he's sick! But I know Angel Calvin is looking over the baby Calvin...

I've missed a few DDP honors, birthdays, and it's NOT COOL Mrs. Secretary!!!

I'm with Sawyer, they should be FIRED!!

And get this... My secretary, aka person who is not spending as much due to closing costs and future window treatments? SHE bought not 1, not 2, but FOUR Yankee Candles today online! She got an email saying "Buy 2 get 2 free". MEANWHILE she had just bought 2 of them the other day (prob is on a mailing list, hence the temptations). Grrrr her priorities are outta whack!

She said these are for the new house as some of the scents are "seasonal". Grrrrrrrr. Anymeow, gotta get ready for Top Chef!!!

45% off Dyson!

Weeeeeee! We joined the Dyson group on catster just now and have until Dec 31, 2009 to take advantage of this sale since we're Catster/Dogster members!

This is pawsome 'cause mom wanted to buy one for the 3rd floor of our house when we move in May sometime! We'll use our other vacuum on the 1st floor (2nd floor has no carpet). PAWSOME! Mom couldn't believe the discount! SCORE!

AND as of Nov 16, you get a free Allergy kit that's normally like $60 or something! Hondo is all happy 'cause mom is "shopping" and he's been in shopping withdrawal for a while.

*EDIT* Drats, scratch the free Allergy kit. That promo went away as soon as we entered our promo code. Oh well, can't beat 45% off!!!!

It "depends"...

Hmmmmm that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Mom and dad were busy yesterday buying groceries and buying things at Costco.

Knowing a few of us have Vet appointments in the near future (Tiski kneads blood work in late Dec/Jan, shots for all raggies), mom remembered to buy potty pads to avoid a "certain" erm... Repeat accident SOME CAT had (not saying). Remember how Hondo's pink crate was ruined and some water leakage happened on the back seat of mom's car? Yeah, she didn't want that to happen again...

*hissss, cat depends/potty pads* grrrrrrrrr! Better that than stinky bums like a certain tux in Canada I know :) Poor Kovo, getting blamed for this cat's stinkies MOL

That'ta boy!

Oh my handsome nephew Kovo makes me SO proud!!! He's so handsome! He gives Pansy a run fur her litter! He likes Sully and that means Pansy is the odd one out :) *grins*

Did you see his ruff? No pimple on that handsome mancat, no way Jose'!!! I mentioned how I'd "show him the way" to become a pawsome mancat. The obvious would be to bulk him up like me :) Naturally I know what food is good and what isn't! I'm not at all a food snob like Hondo, but seriously folks, I like to get the most for my money!

That's all I'll say for now *grins* Have a pawsome weekend! Daddy is off this weekend! YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Moon T-minus 10 days!

Ten + days actually as mom refuses to see this on opening day to avoid all the teeny boppers screaming!

Speaking of New Moon... Yesterday mom and dad did some errands and went to a mall in VA as mom's phone sometimes sounds weird according to a few friends. When they arrived mom told dad, "WOW it's busy! What's going on?" Sure enough, they soon found out! TONS of kids looking down to the main floor of the mall waiting for 2 New Moon actors to arrive. They were doing signings at Hot Topic as I guess they had a special band to allow them to meet the guy who plays Laurant and Caius in the movie...

So mom and dad waited for about an hour and some and they came and did some Q&A. Here's a *PICTURE* from mom's phone. NO WAY was she going down into the lions den with kids!

MEOW!

My, I can't get over how HANDSOME my nephew is :) Me and the Raggie duo in NM are going to spoil him ROTTEN!!! I have to meow with Sully soon as I hear he's still afraid of the fluffy dude.

I give him props for having stinkie stinkies!!! Kittens have a knack for that that's fo' sho!!! I of course, smell like flowers :)

Pansy just asked me if we're going to paint the spare room, aka BOOGERS room blue... Mom said she hasn't begun to think of colors yet as we're told there'll be occasional nail pop/bumps until the house settles... But she said, "for NOW", it's a CAT ROOM!!! Hondo wants pink of course. I don't think mom will go for that... Don't tell him!

We decided to get black appliances, granite counter-top with half bow nose edging or something, solid wood floors, carpet, vinyl as well, and mom had fun picking out he faucets. I'm still not looking forward to a thing called, "exercise" but gotta keep my body buff for the ladies!

Mom's faithful sidekick is a DDP today!!!

Oh my! First it's RARE that I'm up before noon but mom was up early yesterday so she got tired earlier than normal and was in bed by midnight.

Dad is starting his night shift schedule this month, so naturally I take over his spot on the bed :) When he comes home, like clockwork, I'm in his spot and I get really annoyed when he tells me to "scoot". Dad says he likes nights 'cause I'm on mom like catnip! I'm always by her side and believe it or not, I won't eat 'cause I gotta give mom love since dad works 12.5 hour shifts (but only works 15 days each month).

I'm going to be around Catster more 'cause yesterday mom and dad finalized the interior portion of our house!! It was a daunting task mom said to pick out the carpet, floors, kitchen decor, bathroom, etc., I hear that mom was able to upgrade to solid wood floor instead of engineered wood--never know how much us cats will scratch up the floor :) MWHAHAHHA House is still set to be built by mid May *crosses paws* Plus, I gotta be around more 'cause Kovo my cute nephew is young, and I gotta set an example while he's young :)

Thanks for the DDP emails, picture from Kibbles and family, and rosettes!!

Also note *coughacertaincatfromCANADA* That it's Thanksgiving THIS month :) *snicker*

OH MY!!!

OH MY!! OH MY!! OH MY!! Look what I just saw!!! Do you wanna know?!?! DO YOU DO YOU?!?! I'll give you a hint!

I'm a new Unkie to this CUTEEEEEEEEEEE new *ADDITION* . Why do I have the feeling the sister of this cutie won't be a happy camper... I bet Sully is thrilled to have a NON STINKY sibling??? Oh my... Sully got a miniature Pony but it's for HIM and NOT his sister?? MOL!!!

*giggles*

Happy Birthday to Sawyer dude!

Wishing my bestie *SAWYER* a kick tail 5th birthday! I know since turning 5 I've gained the most weight this year... So being HE is muscular too, just a warning dude, 5 is not a generous age in the muscle department :)

Now, enough chit chat! WHERE IS THE KIBBLE?!?!

BTW? Did you all hear? Well if you didn't, I'm not telling! MWHAHAHAHA Only me and Sully know :)

Get off your tail and vote!

A week if not more later, my mom is finally helping me upload pictures for this year's Catster contest. Pansy gave me the tails up a while back but did my mom listen?!?! NOooooooo

It's as if she wants to sabotage me!! Doesn't she know I have a billion cute pictures of me?!?! Time is of the essence! Chop chop mom! Snap to it!

Would love if you voted for me and my brothers on our voting button near the bio fields :) I'd pay you in treats, but erm? I ate them all :)

Remembering Calvin...

I'm very sad to see my Tiki bud *CALVIN* fly up to Rainbow bridge today :(

Leave it to him, always humor in his diary even during sad times. I'm not at all surprised his heart basket is full of hearts. Big purrs and bonks to his family during this hard time. He will be deeply missed. Knead on Calvin, and until we meet again.

Thank you friends!

Thanks friends for all the recent sweet Halloween gifties making my page super cute! My stash comes in less than a week from now as I have some to send out!

Mom is putting her foot down! "...Boogs no more zealies for now, we just plunked down a lot of $ for the house". *pouts*

You can imagine how annoyed Hondo is :) Again, sorry for having to disable comments for the time being, but from various emails, it seems that this spamming has gotten bad lately! Next time I won't delete the stupid comments about advertisements and will report to HQ as you all suggested :)

Disabling my comments

Mom is going to disable comments :( The past few days we're getting stupid comments!

"Go to this Link to see (bad things)"
"The left side shows window's spacing, right side shows length"

And they're all from NON CATSTER people!!! Like John35, or Wantsfun69, etc.,

Stupid people ruining a good thing...

She's at it again!

Man, just when Catsters thought it was quiet in our lovely community, Pansy strikes AGAIN!

My buddy Murray, Willie and their stinky sis in NY just got a kick tail condo! But whooooooooo had to stick their chubby head IN it?!?! The bigger issue is that this cat's head seems to be a bit TOO chubby?!?! Will the owner of the head be able to get out safely?

Check *THIS* out!!!

Hang tight guys!! I'll fix this!!!

Mail for me!!

YES ME! Not for my brothers, but "Boogers" :)

Late Friday (the 16th) I received a Halloween card from the Murman, Murray in NY!! He makes a great pumpkin if you ask me :) I also today got another Halloween card, but this time it was from my EVIL friend (who also likes to ruffle Murray's fur) Pansy!! It was a cute photo card with some scary looking dude next to her. Ok it was her brother but the dude can be scary!

Thank you both for the card!!!!

I'm glad Pansy got my package today too!!! I can't wait to hear how many pounds she looses with the Cat Dancer!! Seriously folks, if you don't have one, you MUST get one ASAP! They're at PetSmart and many pet stores. I love it!!!

In the meantime, mom is trying to find pictures of us to submit for the Catster Contest. Here's hoping maybe this year I'll make the finals in something :)

Home alone for 12+ hours?!?!

Ooooooooo my pawrents are FINALLY back from visiting *MONTE AND FAMILY* ! OMC!! I smell all these smells on their fur and am wondering, is that why they were gone for so long???!!!

Although the weather was terrible (a LOT of rain and bad drivers), my pawrents left at 6am and returned home at 8:40pm.

My mom and dad had so much fun!! Mom loved playing with all Auntie's babies and was happy to finally meet Cannoli, Monte and Truffles! Truffles was a bit shy but mom did get to meet everyone :)

They came home with goodies from Auntie and my brothers!! Let's see... There's a big bag of... Biscotti's!!! Guess who picked them out :) Mmmmmmm mom is munching on a few while doing my diary MOL!!! Auntie Barb also gave mom a yummy Yankee Candle "Spiced Pumpkin", "Winter candy Apple" anti-bacterial hand soap from B&BW, a nice big fridge tablet from PetSmart where 50% of the proceeds to go charities, Halloween sockies (mom usually wears WHITE socks, but the colored ones in mom's drawer are from Auntie over the years MOL), and then WE all got goodies!!!

We got a HUGE bag of goodies: Auntie's famous catnip pillows, mousies, glitter balls, feather toy, 2 Fancy Feast appetizers, PARTY MIx!!!!!, a cute black cat that mom will put up for Halloween, and...

THINGS FROM VEGAS!!!! YES!!!! While Auntie and Rob went to Vegas back in Sept they had bought us and mommy/daddy something too!! Mom gotta pretty rainbow key chain that says Las Vegas, Daddy got a green masculine key chain, and WE got TWO Vegas Tees!!!!

One is dark blue with 2 bears dressed up at Las Vegas (Elvis bear!) and the other is a white T-shirt with the American flag on it saying "Las Vegas".

OMC!! We are so spoiled!!! :) Mom unfortunately won't be able to post pics until late tomorrow as she has an appointment w/ the home guy and then when she gets back from there, she has to TAKE pics :) Bummer, we can't play with our toys until pics... Oh well :)

They also went to Tony Lukes in Philly! Everyone had the Roast Beef sandwich (dad had the Parmesan platter) and the famous bacon/ranch/fries!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm Dad was happy to go there as he LOVED the fries last time!!!

Mom LOVED meeting everyone, but for some reason, she took a liking to Snowmitts (not a surprise), Biscotti and Monte!! Cannoli was having fun playing with mom too but I think Monte and Biscotti liked mom the most :)

Thank you Auntie and Unkie and my fellow furry cousins for a fantastic day!!!

Official:)

Weeeeeee it's official! My pawrents home loan finally got to the 3rd and last person, the loan processor lady! They're approved :) Mom felt confident (ok it's still scary) but wanted to get that OFFICIAL "You're approved" memo :)

The first week in November they gotta finalize the interior colors and after that?! I, Boogie, will be back in full swing! Still some paper work they gotta scrounge up (like the Earnest $ clearing--it's not cleared yet but they knead that paper work for the VA), etc.,

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! Still not looking forwarded to an HOUR car ride, NEW vet (mom will miss our cute vet), and STAIRS (aka exercise) but it'll be worth it :)

Time to check out this coolest cat contest stuff! Pansy sent me a memo *waves* so off to see what mom can find for the contest :)

PS!!! Simba's mom (Glompity girl) and my mom are in the works of meeting up in Nov!! YES I KNOW I KNOW!!! What's taking so long?!?! But they're setting the date so yay!!

Chillaxin' mode...

Ooo ok after many phone calls, conference calls, etc., my pawrents can finally relax a bit as the $22k issue has been resolved! Just a miss communication since the lenders merged recently with the other more established peeps.

They start to slab the ground on Monday! Oooooooo! Mom and dad have a huge weight lifted since recent said news :) Things were a bit hairy here the past 2 days!

So closing $ and down payment has been set aside and now mom and dad are trying to manage their budge before they move. Tuesday they get to check out the interior options and mom is very excited about that! Then they gotta make an appointment w/ the interior design lady to officially pick out the color and type of wood, cabinets, etc.,

This is all so new but fun! I HOWEVER am NOT looking forward to 3 flights of stairs!! OMC! I might actually get...

EXERCISE?!?!?! I don't know about this!! OMC! NO ONE consulted ME about this!!! AND I heard we will have to budget treats a bit 'cause apparently money doesn't grow on trees!!!!

Oh, a few kitties wanted me to give them our new addy! Of course I'll give you our new addy when the time comes closer :) It's a much easier addy so that's nice as it isn't long :) Our current addy, often a number OR TWO gets cut off which is why our mail sometimes gets returned to sender... EVEN THOUGH our mailbox has our name on it :)

Don't forget about us!

Dang, mom is behind on Catster! We ALMOST missed seeing Murray in NY was the COTD yesterday! (ALMOST but we saw it). Dang, mom is busy busy busy working with the lender dude. They're approved which is good news but there's so many underlying things at paw that are taking up our 'puter time!

They're doing a VA loan, which has no PMI or what ever insurance and 0% down even though my pawrents did... They set aside $10k for closing costs and will use the down payment (also Earnest $) towards closing IF it does exceed $10k.

Issue is that the lender mortage we're going with just merged with another company (the overall company is what our building dudes use). So there's some crossed strings about closing costs as we're told $7-8k max. Issue is our lender likes to do worst case scenarios (mom likes those too) but he has down $22k!!! That's fine 'cause we were told "NO WAY" (And the fact that dad's co-workers house was $7-$8k and they're in the same boat financially as us). So while we won't be paying $22k total, for paper work's sake, we gotta make sure we have enough for the "what if" scenario. Ummmmmm mom's not a money tree and we still have expensive rent to pay and TREATS!!!

We know the two dudes will get things straight but my pawrents are on a time issue as they want the house done by May when their lease is over, not June or July. Time is of the essence! It'll pan out fine, mom and dad won't have to come up with more $ (regardless that loan guy said they might) just a matter of them duking it out.

Ok, time to help mom's stress.. She doesn't eat when she's stressed, I do :) Me and Mittens are currently treat deprived as mom has been busy on the typing thing and phone all day.... *ignores tummy grumbles*

So I miss everyone and we'll be back soon once this loan thing gets sorted... Main thing, we're approved!

Home owners!!!!

YAYAYAYAYAYA!!!! Mom and dad left us earlier today as they were looking for a house. Dad's co-worker's wife has been meowing with my mom for a while in addition to mom looking for a home, pricing things, locations, etc.,

Guess what? WE FOUND A HOUSE!!!! Many hours later, and MANY MANY signed papers later, they signed their contract! Officially they have to put in a loan request, but they gave the agent dude all their numbers (2 years of W2's, 2 pay stubs, wages, debt, loans, price of rent, etc., etc.,) and he was certain there's no issues. Our pawrents will be trying for the VA loan first and if that doesn't work, the usual FHA loan with a fixed 30 year.

Then comes the more complicated issue at paw... It'll take about a month for mom to pick the colors of the interior, get a start date on the construction, and a date of late April/May for our house to be built! Mom had SO MUCH FUN picking out the colors of the outside of our home!

Word is one room is a spare/guest room, the other an office, and the last room is for what ever. We won't have our own room purr say, but the entire 3 floors will be ours MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh yes, we will be king of the house!!!

BoogaBee!!

Yup, that's what I am this Halloween :) Now, you may think it was inspired by crazy Pansy as last year she made me a BoogaBee picture, but I swear it wasn't planned!!

A while ago there was an auction for Aldo and I won the bid for the Bee costume I'm sportin'. Is it bad that it's a Medium DOG size?!? I may have to invest in the diet plan Pansy is working hard on!

I noticed when we put in a new code for our background, on both IE and Firefox, all the bio fields reset back to 300!! There was no option to resize the bio fields unless we resorted back to the original/older version of Catster's editing section... Weird!

I know my diaries are a lil' hard to read but mom didn't realize that until AFTER she finished my page... Ooops!

Happy 7th birthday to Callie and Teebo!!!

YES!! HARRY IS BACK!!!

Oh mom's eyes leaked in joy when she just found out that Harry is back home!! He was near a neighbor's trash can!! WE ARE SO THRILLED HE IS BACK!!!!!!

Power of purrr works! NOW keep those purrrs going for Calvin!!!

I'm SO HAPPY he's back!!!! HARRY!!! DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN :)

EMERGANCY PURRRS!!!! NOW NOW NOW!!!!

Fido wrote about this 6 hours ago, but mom is just ill with worry and can't sleep... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do purrs for *HARRY* !!!! He is missing as he got out of the house and when the pawrents tried to catch him, he ran further.

We are sick with worry and wish to meow we were closer to the family as we would have helped with the search!!

Fido feels so bad... Harry is his wife's bro... PLEASE HARRY! COME HOME NOW!!!!

PLEASE keep purring for Calvin too!!! Oh mom's going to get a gray from this worry, I just know it!

PLEASE COME HOME HARRY!!!!!!

GET THOSE PURRS MOVING!! NOW!!

PURRRRING FOR *CALVIN* !!! AND PURRING FOR *HARRY* ! The sibling of Fido's wife, Allie. He is missing!!! He got out of the house and while the pawrents tried to coax him, he ran further.

Oh mom's eyes are leaking. We feel helpless for both of our friends!! Please keep them in your purrrrs!

GET HOME RIGHT NOW OR I WILL SIT ON YOU!!! CALVIN! EAT!!! EAT!!! EAT!!!

Maybe I'm not so muscular?

Hmmmm I'm still finding it hard to believe I weigh a few ounces more than Pansy... Kudos to her for not lying about the weight as mom says, she and her girl friends all lie a bit, give or take 10 pounds MOL

Why is it when I run, my belly sways left and right? I know Pansy's doesn't! So that must mean she's muscular and I'm... NOT SO muscular?

Mom has also been doing OT with our feather toy... Our vet was cool with my weight as his cats are big (one is 21-22 pounds?), but mom said she'd still like to get me down to 17... Mittens is a lost cause, he'll be big as his dad was 26 pounds... His belly doesn't sway left to right when HE runs *hmph*

Diego looks more muscular than me... Sawyer is more solid I thinkith... Reebok/Nike are named after Sneakers, so they are fit... Maybe my tux kneads an alteration? A few snips here and there? I mean, a tux CAN stretch out over time... Like all human clothes have stretch... So do Tuxedo's. I am a Tuxedo cat.... So maybe I'm just over stretched?

Mom paid for a cat bath?

Hark! Mom just got back from the Derm as she got that microderm abrasion treatment. You see since she turned 30 a year ago, her skin has been changing and she recently started to get adult ack-knee... So the derm suggested this as well as a Catster friend of mine :) Her mom is the same age as mine and said it works wonders!

She was told by the Derm and my friend that it feels like a cat bath... She'll knead about 4-5 treatments and they come at a pretty penny. What I'm appalled by is the fact that mom didn't consult one of us 6 for a FREE cat bath!! *hmph*

I almost gave mom a heart attack today too... She woke up and saw I was next to her (dad's on nights). And she saw my breathing was sorta still... Granted mom is BLIND without contacts but when she went to wake me up I didn't move :) So she screamed, "BOOGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and I didn't wake up. Geeeeeeze didn't she know I was in a deep sleep!?!?! Mom wasn't too happy that I was ignoring her. I think I'll be in the dog house if I give her a gray hair from this.

Mom called Dad at work the moment she woke up as she was hysterical MOL!!!!!

Boogatudes???

MEOW? Excusssssssssssse me??? Boogatudes???

So dad was home all weekend as he is off work (his schedule is weird due to his job). Anymeow, sometimes when my pawrents rub my belly or side, they do it to annoy me and I will often play bite and smack their hands with my muscular paws :)

Well, they did it again, and I had enough! I said,

NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! I want food and don't wanna play so stop! *paw whap on mom's hand*

And then mom goes, "BOOGIE! You have a terrible Boogatude!!!"

*grins* So yeah, Boogatude, woogatude. Meow to the paw...

Pansy does NOT play fair!

Grrrrrrrr, she sunk me Pirate Ship!! Arrrrrrrrr Foiled! I be watchin' that Pirate Pansy! Do not underestimate her! She may be a lil' petite Pirate, but she can keep up with us big boys, arrrrrrrrrrrr!

Have a great weekend everyone! I gotta regroup and fix my ship (if I can). In the meantime, very happy to hear Calvin is feeling better!!!

Please keep my tiki lovin' orangie dude Calvin in your- purrrs

I just read *CALVIN'S* diary and I'm beyond meows... Purrring for you dude! You're an amazing Tiki lovin' dude!!! I'm smarter because of you! (His new words crack me up).

PUuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Embarassing DDP pick!

Figures, when cats write about poo, they're a DDP the following day. The same seems to be true if you write about a pee incident! *blush*

Daddy used that Natures Cure or what ever (white bottle w/ red writing) to fix the backseat (not much dribbled but enough) while mom bathed me. Hondo isn't talking to me 'cause I ruined his pink crate...

Anymeow, yay on the DDP!!! My pawrents gotta buy a new crate as we're down to 2 now (1 large one and one tiny one only Porkers or Fido can fit in). We only knead 3 'cause in case of an emergency, there's no way they could get 6 crates to safety you know? *scratch on scratching post*

Thanks for the rosettes, PM's and comments. Mom always laughs when some of my friends say our vet is cute (and mom thinks he is too MOL). The cool thing about him is he's a HUGE MMA/UFC fan like us so they always talk about previous Pay Preview fights hehe.

The Vet, and a... BATH?!?!?!

Ok, mind you I love baths!!! I didn't mind this part... The part I minded was going for the 5 min Vet visit with Hondo!!!

Mom was recording me meowing in the crate while on the way to the Vet when... *sniff sniff... ?????? *

That's right... I got a bit nervous and fur the furrrst time I had an accident in my crate! And the thing is, I was in the PINK crate with Fido's blanket inside... A lil' went onto the backseat and mom wasn't too thrilled...

The vet didn't mind and was impressed I love baths (I just got one). Anymeow, all is good. I'm 19.19 pounds and I got my distemper shot which is now a 3 year shot instead of 1.

Ok, I gotta dry myself clean. I'm a bit embarrassed but will listen next time mom says, "Ok, make sure you use the litter box before we leave!!"

*blush* If you wanna hear me meow, click *HERE*

Pink Parrot and Party Mix thief!!!!!

*GASP* Many cats like this wonderful treat called Party Mix!! It's a mixture of nom noms in a bag!!! I'd like to call attention to ALL PARTY MIX LOVERS to take a look at this *CAT* , take a GOOD look!!! MEMORIZE THAT FACE!!!!

She stole not only MY Party Mix, but she's coming after yours too! Murray, Albus, Teebo, Sawyer, Oly, Calvin, and more! HIDE YOUR STASH OF PARTY MIX!

As if it wasn't bad enough, she had to go ahead and steal Calvin's Pink Parrot!!! And get this... PANSY wants a Pony for Christmas? Do you REALLY think Santa Paws will grant her wish with said behavior?!?

I don't THINK sooooooooo... Pony up and give us our treats and parrot back!!!

Everyone's ganging up on me!

Gahhhhhhhhhh

Before mom taught tonight mom was able to record Porkers and Hondo beatin' me up!!! It was play fighting but STILL!! They will pay! I'm trying to help them bring Pansy to justice and what do they do? Beat me up!!!

I'll post the video later tonight or tomorrow as mom has to put it in Windows Movie Maker.

Evil...

UPDATED: Tada, proof that I have evil *brothers*

Gonna knead reinforcements!!!

*gasp* How in the world did Pansy slip by me?!? She not only buried my muscular body in the sand, but she had the nerve to steal my treasure!! Arrrrrrrrrrrr

Where is my pose'?!?! I do hope they keep an eye out for Ms. Pansy!! Do NOT let her sweet talk you!! She is to be captured and must walk thee plank!!

GET HER!!!

A plan...

I just heard back from my fellow Pirates on the status of Pansy, aka the girl who is causing havoc in our home we call Catster...

Catloafs teaming up with fellow stray cats from Cat in the Clover, girlfriends/boyfriends doubting one another, Party Mix treats missing!!! And the list goes on and on!!! Who is the master mind of these unfathomable acts?!?! Why it's PANSY! I KNOW IT!! She may have made many cute Catster pages for everyone, but she is not to be trusted!

Just when I let my guard down... *Eeeep*

I have my fellow Pirates on land keeping an eye on things, and I just got an update on Pansy's where abouts... Wanna help find *HER* ???

In the meantime, as Nerferkitty said on my last dairy, I have been hit by His Holy Noodliness, aka Flying Spaghetti Monster!!! I do hope this cat isn't working for Pansy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Oh my!! I received an annony-mousie rosette saying the following:

"The FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER is pleased with your appropriate tribute to him with your outfit. May your sauce be warm and tangy RAmen"

Hmmmm I wonder if this cat knows I love food?? And it's signed RAmen... I wonder if this cat loves noodles? As in Ramen noodles? MOL

Thanks Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!

September is Meow like a Pirate Month!!

Yup! It's that time of year again!!! My bestest Pansy sure got into the Pirate mood that's furrr sure! OMC!

She had approached me a while back asking if I would mind if she made pages for my whole family. Now, giving our history, I had to think about it *giggles* but I said SURE! After all, I love surprises! She sent the codes today and I pawmissed NOT to look until Midnight, aka September 1, 2009.

Imagine the surprise when we saw all of our pages!! OMC!!!!!!!! They are super duper pawsome! You out did yourself sweetie!! OMC!! Thank you so much!!!

We all love our pages! Check 'em out!

Also a while back I meowed that Pansy had sent me something and it was a secret... Well, check my 3rd picture out!! Look closely! She sent me a Pirate tie from the Cat in the Clover!!! *hugs*

Give me!! *OUCH*

Alas, it's Friday, TGIF. Mom was making dinner while she waited for dad to return home from work. Naturally when there's food, we all come running into the kitchen and usually serenade mom with the bestest kitty choir, aka yours truly accompanied by his brothers.

At night we get our evening nom noms, aka Party Mix nom noms. Mom put Fido's treats in a corner away from us. Little did he know, I wanted HIS treats! So naturally I took them. I took my right paw and moved them towards me and started to eat. Then came Fido's teeth *OUCH* I said! HE BIT ME!! Hey, you snooze you loose!

Speaking of my right paw... This reminds me of an article either Skeezix or Snuzzy wrote. It said while cats may play with either their right or left paw, what ever one they use to eat is their dominant paw.

Yeah me! Have a great weekend everyone! I know I will with a lil' something I managed to get a hold of! MWHAHAHAHA

Birthday Party!!

I'm so excited to be celebrating my brothers *TISKERS* , *MITTENS* and their litter mate *BISCOTTI* birthday today on August 26th!! They are all going to be the TERRIBLE TWO'S this year *gulp*

Their brother Snowmitts from a different litter is throwing all 3 an all day party *HERE* . We would love for you to come!

Have a pawsome birthday dudes!! Mom is especially happy for Tiski as he was diagnosed 4 months ago with a terminal heart disease so this is an extra special birthday for her to enjoy!

Been Handsomefide!

I got a big surprise today from my bestie Pansy!! I won't disclose what it is yet until "the time" comes :) I think I look slimmer since I've been handsomefide!! In the famous words of Pansy.... Oh my oh my oh my! Thank you sweetie!!!

But that still doesn't exempt you from what's yet to come in regards to changing Sawyer's mini Catloaf!!! Seriously folks, the damage is despicable!

Double DDP!!!

Woah this hasn't happened in a while! Both me and Fido are DDP along with our friends Monte Carlo and Hooch!

I'm glad my diary about my friend Sammie was picked. For those who didn't know him, he was a fantastic dude who loved his froggie and especially his meowmy and family. He will be deeply missed :(

I'm glad the storms *scarch on condo* eased up a bit. We were getting a lot of storms due to Hurricane Bill down south.

Daddy is home for a week so I'm enjoying getting Daddy time (but not too much as I'm a momma's boy). Thanks for all the Concats friends :)

My fellow tux dude Sammie went to the bridge :(

I am deeply sadden to hear that one of my first Catster friends *SAMMIE* has made his journey to the bridge yesterday... He will be deeply missed...

Scared

I have seen the wrath of Pansy again! Although she claims it wasn't her... I do not know of ANY OTHER CATS who like the Blue Jay's other than THE Pansy and her even MORE evil brother Sully.

Someone tipped me off that Pansy took my dude Sawyer's Catloaf mini and recruited him to play with the Blue Jays!! *gasp* As you know, the best team is the NY Yankees! Don't believe me?! Ask Gordy and Sawyer :)

So now I'm a bit scared (gotta keep this truce thing in motion) as she is going to make my September catster page... I probably should be scared but I'm not *puts on his best poker face*

Appetizers?!?!

Hmmmmmmmm mom just brought back a bunch of "Fancy Feast Appetizers for cats". Does that mean, I get this container of appetizers AND my main course?!?! *gasp* Who ever thought of this I wanna give them many bonks!!! What an ingenious way to maintain and purrhaps BUILD up muscle!!!

Mom also found us a lil' something for Halloween and Turkey Day :) Those on FB have seen a sneak peak. The rest of you's gotta wait until said holidays :)

Also you Party Mix lovers?!?! They have a NEW flavor out! It's a brown bag instead of the normal pink, orange, blue and green bag :) Mmmm

Nurse Pansy and car accident!!

Oh my... Pansy is at it again, but I'm more afraid 'cause it involves my meowmy!!

Late last night mom and dad got into a minor car accident. Dad rear ended someone on the way home from Ice Cream at Maggie Moo's. Mom's ice cream is on the windshield still come to think of it MOL

Here's a pic of mom's *CAR* . They're both fine but mom has a bruise on her right collar bone (she wears a collar?) from the seat belt. She's more mad that her HP license plate is scuffed MOL

In the meantime, I'm going to keep an eye on Pansy. Her and her fire!!!

Back!!

My I've missed Catster. Mom wasn't on the computer much (but she did manage to find time for FB--evil) and I missed my friends! I'm going to be spending the next hour or so catching up on friends' diaries and pics and what everyone has been up to!

That is... After I eat dinner :) Dad's picking up dinner at Cheesecake and mom and I are starving!

Grandpaw has left as he has to fly out to Colorado for a business trip. If he didn't have to leave for work, he would have stayed 2 weeks. BOO on work!

Mom is trying to figure out her new camera still and I am happy to pose for her as long as I get nom noms after :) Dad's all excited as Grandpaw called up our bike store and put a credit on his account as an early bday gift since Grandpaw won't be here for it in Nov. Daddy bought new pedals for the new clip shoes he bought. Grandpaw is so nice! Although, come to think of it? I didn't get anything other than hearing over and over, "*LOL* His belly sways left and right when he runs, seriously Sam (mom) he's huge!!! (me), how much does he weigh again?",

ETC, ETC!!!!!!!! Seriously, Grandpaw doesn't know muscle that's fo' sho!!

"A bit loose in the middle?"

AHEM!? I'm having a great time w/ Grandpaw but this comment is still ringing in my tiny ears,


"Wow Boogers you look a bit loose in the middle". *hmph* I miss my friends and am terribly behind in diaries and the news, so drop me a line. I did manage to make my HP meowathon 'cause Grandpaw is sleeping and he said he doesn't mind what mom does as he's just happy to see her and daddy :)

T-minus 1 day!

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of Grandpaw!! He's coming for a week on Wednesday so I won't be online as much. I'll have to rely on Sawyer and Willie and fam to keep an eye on Pansy. She's been very sweet as of late but you never know!

The weather here has been terrible. SO HOT!! I bet we have Diego to blame for that right? Even Baily wrote us asking how we're doing in this humid weather. He lives close to us!

I am not too happy that I haven't been strolling much, nor is Tiski. I'm going to get FAT if I don't go out strolling soon!!!

Treats!

Thanks to those who fill up my treat jar!! It's as if I'm getting free food like my nemesis Pansy! I wish someone came to our door offering free food! Especially food I know to be nummer 'cause we get that brand!!!

Happy August 1st!!

Mom is busy cleaning again 'cause Grandpaw is coming August 5 for a week!! I'll have to ask that my friends keep an eye out on Pansy and especially Sully!!! If he tries to take our toys, just show him a hammer and point to the roof :)

Another fantastic year!

HOLY CATS!!! Lancelot just reminded me that our FANTASTIC Harry Potter group celebrates another year of greatness!!

The group turns 2 years old today! AND it happens to be Harry Potter's Birthday! The conception of the group on this day was purrre luck! It wasn't planned :) While Gordy and Simba are busy brewing potions, Lancelot has been my fantastic partner in the group for over a year!!

I'm so honored to have a very active group 2 years later! Tomorrow we start the last book in the series!! Can you believe it?!?! Two years later we have gone through 6 books in our bookclub/meowathons?!?! LOVE IT!

Thanks to all the members and Lancelot my fellow admin :)

Bei Mir bist du schoen!!

Was??? Sprechen Sie Englisch!!!

No no, I haven't fallen off my rocker nor did I sneeze while writing this entry... Me and *NIKKO'S MOM* have been meowing about German music. Many don't know the movie "Beyond Silence". Mom first heard of it circa 2001 while visiting a friend during a grad audition. She loved the movie! It's about a German girl (who apparently is really French according to Nikkos' mom) who has deaf parents. They don't understand her love for music. Then our mom's meowed about "Swing Kids" as the song, "Bei Mir bist du schoen" is in the score.

See how pawsome catster is!! Connecting not only about cats, but also German and music!!

And that's not all! Our dad's (both of ours) want this one Trek bike. Dad bought it as he got the '10 model for the '09 price and when we were meowing w/ the mommy, she said she was trying to convince her husband to get the same *BIKE* ! Small world no???

PEA ESS: OMC! Thanks to the cat who gave me TONS of treats! Last I checked today I had 600ish, now I'm over 1000!! *hugs*

My plus is back!!!

Could it be head dog got my email THAT fast? In the meantime, I got a cancellation email from Paypal about Catster, and then I got another email (time stamped 2 min before the paypal one) that I'm a plus member AGAIN!! :)

As long as we don't get charged 2x and that my plus stays, I'm a happy Boogie!! This calls for treats! All that stress made me loose 2 ounces.. I KNOW IT!!!

Ooooooooooooooo!

*That top dog does work fast, we just heard from him* I do heart doggies :)

Catster support was NO help! *EDIT*

Mom just got off the phone and was told, since we wrote support on Saturday in 24 hours I should hear from them. Ummmmmmmm ok??????

Mom did state that we were charged, gave her the details, with email details we received FROM catster and Payapl (the 11th, and 23) the person had no idea how to help. Ummmmmm wow, thanks for the help? She had no idea how to help, yet catster has been around for what, 4-5 years?

*EDIT* Thanks for the email contacts a few of you sent me. Hopefully I can get this resolved. I understand the lady might not have had any knowledge to help me w/ the situation, but a transfer might have helped...

Mooo? Cow??? Me??? Moi??

Bahahaha! I just read Snowmitt's diary about their visit. I think auntie was so shocked at how HANDSOME I am, that she mistaken my MUSCLE MASS for being a heavy cow MOL!!! Yeah, I admit it... When auntie DID hold me I about knocked the wind out of her... Good thing she was sitting down!!! Seriously, I am a bit... Muscular :)

Mittens was heavy too!!!

Oh to be thin like my bros...

In the meantime, Tiski is poutin' about his plus.. He can't add or arrange pics! I'm bummed too! I might just eat more 'cause of the situation :)

Had fun with Auntie and Unkie!!!

Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob stayed the night!! They're the pawrents of Snowmitts, the late Picasso, and family :)

When they arrived, my pawrents exchanged gifties! Aunti had made mom some lemon tea and transported it in a nice big jug, she also gave mom a Cinnamon Yankee candle, and a pretty pink photo album book that says "Family".

We got a huge blue bed which, I'd like to add, sat my muscular body in first :) we got Tuna pounce treats, a pink cat toy ball toy, and a speedy snail squeak toy!

We sent them home with a gift for auntie (cutting boards) and some vanilla sachet packets. Also since we kept spilling the drink fountain mom gave them ours (Not telling WHO kept dumping the water) :)

We gave them a can of solid gold, cat grass, large can of caviar, and I believe some party mix treats :)

After opening gifts, they went to San Vito's and then Maggie Moo's ice cream! Daddy treated them to the above and soon after they got back home, the dudes took a nap MOL Later that night they went to Legal Seafood where Unkie treated our family.

We had so much fun!!! Tiskers was so well behaved! He never got scared and in fact, loved their company. Porkers did too!! Hondo and I came out on day two. Auntie got to hold me and she said I was very VERY muscular and that my muscles sway left and right when I ran MOL!! Fido was a mess... The boy hid all day! Now that they left? Fido has reemerged and is in fact, alive MOL!! We didn't see him at ALL!!!

You know it's bad when Hondo is more social!!

**pics to be posted much later... Mom kneads a nap and is going w/ dad to buy another Trek bike**

My Catster plus is gone!!

Mom just contacted the Catster people and as always, things go wrong on our end on weekends... aka, when most people are gone and not working :(

We were charged July 23, 2009 via Paypal and it even says in paypal:

Total Amount:
-$19.95 USD
Fee amount:
$0.00 USD
subscriber_code: 100-c-renew

We had to change our cc associated w/ paypal 3 months ago and that made the renewal (with the card we've used for 3 years) not renew automatically. But given we changed it and updated it months ago, and were charged on the 23rd, I see our plus is gone today :(

wahhhhhhhhh

Some very sad news

My buddy *BOB* has just been diagnosed with cancer... And it's even sadder to know it's my bestests' "Robert"...

I just got a frantic email from the mom and as expected, she can't quite get on his page.

There's nothing they can do other than to "ride it out" but the vet did say he's not in any pain. Worst case, he'll knead pain meds when the time comes :(

I'm so sorry to hear of this news :( I know they haven't been around much and I, along with many others, miss their family. But what shocking news!!

My Spaceship is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!! I got a concats pawmail from Buddie and that reminded mom that I haven't heard from Litter Robot dudes about my base that we sent 2 weeks ago. I know my filters are coming today and as luck would have it??? The spaceship is coming TODAY TOO!

Meowy Catmas to me!!!!!

They replaced the circuit board and 2 other small things and while I didn't get an email about tracking, both packages are coming today!

YES! I can't WAIT to test my repaired Spaceship! Mom cleaned both globes and it's as if they're brand new!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oh Happy Day!

I'm a DDP along with the cute one, Newman!!

My this diary entry is early... Why? Mom's trying to get her sleep back to "normal" as Auntie Barb and Rob are visiting Sat and staying the night. I don't think it'd be polite for mom to sleep in till 4pm MOL

Yesterday mom got her hair cut (all of them), cleaned both bathrooms (took about 3 hours), washed the new sheets, cleaned the kitchen (at least what she could reach: Dad gets the tall areas). And that wore her out!! So that helped her get her sleep semi normal.

I'm not sure if I'm willing to share mom with auntie... First time meeting them (wonder if the twins will remember her?)

OMC! SAWYER!!!

MY BESTIE *SAWYER* is FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the new Catster newsletter and it features him and his pink Tiki can!! If you look at his photo album, on page 3 you see the original pic!

DUDE! Way to go!!!!!!! I had to laugh at the caption, "Lack of appetite" MOL!!!!!!!!!

DIET food?!?!

OH THE SHAME!!! Mom must REALLY be off her rocker!! No seriously!! She stocked up at PetSmart today buying 8 cases of moist, and 4 bags of dry food...

ONE of the dry food bags was... *GASP* "Weight Management" FOOD!!!! Does that mean she's trying to maintain my 19 pound status?? OR does it mean shes trying to make me loose muscle mass?

OH THE SHAME!!!

And that's not all!! Mom did a ton of errands w/ daddy today. Not only did she stock up on food? But she spent $500 on linens 'cause she needed to replace her guest sheets, towels, etc., etc., Dad just looked at her like "Ummmm ok" MOL He wasn't much help during her shopping spree... Too bad Hondo didn't go as I'm sure he'd been more help!

Seriously mom is OFF HER ROCKER!!!

Move over Dad!!!

*pushes dad off the bed* Well NOT quite. The past week or so when the humans go to bed, I have been GLARING at dad! Why? I get MAD when HE IS IN MY SPOT!! I mean, when dad is on days, I get mom all to MYSELF!

But dad is on nights! And I stare him down as he's next to MY MOM!!! So lately I've been jumping in bed once they're settled, get in between them, and then sit on dad OR I'll have my back to mom and I'll stretch out and dad gets annoyed!! So annoyed he'll sleep in the other room sometimes :) He said I'm to NOT make this a habit :) When he wakes up before mom by a few minutes, sure enough, I'm right next to mom on DAD'S side! MOL!!

Seriously, MOVE OVER DAD!!

MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh

Seriously, hard to find GOOD help!! Ok, sure mom is going to take us to HP again in a few, but mom just realized she missed our 3 year annifurrsary on catster!! IT WAS YESTERDAY!!!

*glares at mom* That's it!! I am NOT sharing popcorn with her!! MOM!! How could you miss the day where I get to indulge in CAKE?!?! I think this was intentional!!! The nerve!!

She must be on Pansy's team... Also purrring for Scooter 'cause he'll probably get a visit from Pansy soon!! *YIKES*

Going to see HP HBP AGAIN!

YES I AM!!! Maybe while I'm there, I'll have the wizards help me rid my bout of "worms". Watch out, they're contagious!!!

Or...

Ooooooooooooo I shouldn't tell you all this... Just yet...

MAYBE I'll have my wizard friends work their magic on Pansy since she hexed me with worms!!!!!!!!!!

MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO HBP ROCKED!!!

YES YES YES! OMC! Mom liked the movie! Never as good as the books (duh), but mom liked it :) She never cried reading the 6th book but a TINY tear formed during the end section. Mom kept it together MOL

WOOOHOOOO!! I saw Mad-Eye Moody there, DD, and a few Weasley kids in the theater! I DID!! All dressed up! Mom work her Platform 9 3/4 shirt and dad wore his redish Knight Bus shirt MOL

WOOHOOOOOOOOOO

Vish-us rummors!!

Oh dear!!! I have been getting a lot of comments and pawmails about *SOME CAT* saying I have WORMS! In fact, it's floating around Catster now!

*gasp* I have to get ready for my HP movie (3 hours from NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW) so this will have to wait until I get back.

I think Pansy just wants to go on a shopping spree after I dish out tons of $$$$ for her medical services...

Eeeeeeeeeeeee!

HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TIME HAS COME!!! Less than 18 hours!!!!!

I'd like to give Calvin kudos on commenting on my last diary... *giggles* Hewlett Packard is here? MOL!!!!!!!!!!

Naturally I'm going to sneak in along with my 5 brothers... Seriously, NO ONE will notice right? :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Harry Potter is almost here!

I can barely contain myself! I know black is slimming so I had high hopes that my robes fit... Drats... Still too tight... They barely fit Porkers so I didn't feel so bad :)

We're all excited for the premier tomorrow!! Me and Mittens are banking on the concession stands 'cause we need food in anticipation of the movie!

Mom is going to not drink much fluid in the next 24 hours to avoid litter breaks MOL!!

Seriously... HP IS ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BoogaSnape...

MOL!!!!!!!!! Pansy just made me the coolest page that I have ever had!!! MOL!!!!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE it!! Snape is my favorite character, Half Blood Prince is my favorite book of the HP series and well... This character is fitting!!! Snape is EVIL like... ME!! MWHAHAHAHAHA

I love it love it LOVE IT Pansy!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Harry Potter! Harry Potter!

Oooooooooooo! Our paperbook set of books 1-7 came from the Amazon today!!! Mom has fresh new ones to destroy!!! Ooooooooo

And in less than 7 days, I will have seen HP and the HBP!! Eeeeeeeeeeee

I gotta get my secretary to work on a HP page!!! *ahem mom*

Spaceship is on the mend...

Yes, my litter robot is on the mend... We're going to buy a box for the bottom base and tomorrow we're calling the UPS to pick it up (the peeps at Litter Robot were VERY helpful!! They're paying for shipping). They're going to fix the bottom part :)

I talked w/ Buddy's mom and they had issues too. The had sent the bad part back, and when they got the part back, it still wasn't working right, so eventually the Robot peeps fixed it once and furrr all :) YAY!

We had considered getting a credit w/ the Amazon dudes, but nah, we'll get it fixed for free.

YAYAY! And again, I did NOT ruin the box! Not saying who did... Someone must have really clogged it up!!!

Mail for me!!

Errr mail for everyone really... Our pal *SKEEZIX* sent us a way cute Postcard of him for the 4th of July!! It's the same pic of him sportin' those cool patriotic shades MOL He has so much style!

Thanks dude!!

Porkers smells funny.. He went to the vet for a By-Op-Sea so sending purrs to him. We don't think it's cancerous now that the vet pulled off that thing! (His diary has details)

Have a great week everyone! HP HBP is premiering SOON!!!!!!!!!!!

The robot man/lady works LATE HOURS!

Holy cats!! Guess what! Mom head from the Litter Robot peeps at... *drumroll* 12:34 AM according to the email reply!!

They gave us a list of things to check. I'm going to post in case any other litter robot cats have the same issue! Mom is going to test these tomorrow morning when she's more alert!

Mom knows number 4 and 6 are a negative.

1) Check the wall outlet to see if there is power going to the socket and that the unit is plugged in.

2) Leave the unit plugged in for at least ten (10) minutes. After that period of time, check the adapter on the power supply to see if it is warm. If so, then we know the power supply is okay. Try the power supply from the other unit.

3) Does the adapter read 12V & either 450mA or 500mA?

4) Please check the cord on the power supply for any breaks or frays.

5) There is a pin in the jack in the back of the base and it should be split. This is where the small connector from the power supply is inserted. Find something small and open the pin slightly.

6) Check the control panel for any evidence of urine residue. Also, if you see urine in the bottom of the drawer, this would be an indication that your cat is missing the litter and urinating just outside the opening, which may be damaging the circuit board behind the control panel.

7) Attached are the instructions on how to install a circuit board for your unit. Perhaps reversing the one from the other unit would be a good idea to determine if it is the problem.

I swear it wasn't me!! *EDIT* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH NO!! I think one of my robots is dead!!! My spaceship isn't working right!!

The odd thing is, it's the one we bought over a year ago, not the 2 year old one.

Dad is working on it now before work. We turned the power switch off, made sure there were no cling-ons obstructing anything, there's enough litter, etc., but it won't MOVE!! It won't CYCLE!!!

We never got around to buying that lip for big dudes, but this might be a blessing in disguise as I want the BIG BOY BOX that Reebs uses!! It's extra big in the back if you know what I meow.

ACK!!!

**EDIT** Looking at our Amazon.com order, we purchased THIS robot January 4, 2008... There's an 18 month warranty, and today would be EXACTLY 18 months! ON NO!! Who wants to bet the company won't honor our 18 month warranty in hopes to get MORE money out of us :(

Wishing everyone a Happy 4th!!!

Wow, it's that time of year again!! Tomorrow is July 4th!! We're not doing much 'cause dad works this weekend.

I'll be watching movies with mom and munchin' on holiday snackies :) The Kabooms don't scare me, but I have a feeling Hondo will be behind the sofa all night :)

I'm going to sneak mom's CC and buy zealies. We have too many bday's this month and besides... I've been good. I've only stolen mom's CC 2x this year and bought $5 packages. So far I've done good!! However, this buying zealie stuff might make me work up an appetite... I might have to stock up on munchies for tomorrow so mom actually has some to eat. I tend to beg for cheetos (I like to lick her fingers).

In the meantime, you should all be scared... Pansy is opening up a medical practice... *gulp*

Embarrassed...

Oh dear, now I, Boogie am a DDP in the family!! I'd like to take this time to mention 3 cats who are celebrating a birthday today!

PorkChop's half siblings, *Cannoli* and *Karisma* turn 1 year old today!!! I know there's an all day party for Cannoli *HERE* . I will be on the look out for Karisma's party too!

Also, Fido's nephew *Mago* has a birthday today too!

HOLY CATS! All these birthday's this month!!!

Also today is Canada Day!!! Jake McCurdy invited me to a party to celebrate this blessed day! If there's food, I'm there! It's located *HERE*

I want one too!

No fair! I just saw Mercy got a bath and boy oh boy does she look pretty!! I think she has highlights in her fur!

Hondo is in knead for his first bath of the year. Yes, the same one mom has been putting off in fear that the neighbors will call the animal cops on her 'cause he meows SO LOUD as if he's in pain!

I, however, LOVE them. Hmmmmmmm *looks at mom* dang, she said Hondo is first... *sigh*

Happy Birthday to my brother PorkChop!

HOLY CATS!! I can't believe that *PorkChop* will be ONE YEAR OLD in 1.5 hours! June 26th (Friday) is his FIRST birthday!! OMC!

His daddy Monte threw him a pawsome party *HERE* The theme is strolling and his lil' Lambie (the one Sully stole and is keeping hostage).

Please wish my brother a pawsome birthday!!! Mom can't believe he's almost ONE!!!

Plus that means there's FREE FOOD!! NOM NOM!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so hot!

Yuck yuck! No strolling for me! Unlike Lancelot, time to stroll isn't an issue. For me it's the heat! I bet it's hotter where Lancelot is though...

Our air has been on 98% since late March! YES you read that right! It's humid here! I can't imagine living where Sawyer dude lives! That must be super humid down there!

Still no word on Hondo's condo :( I want to bet he first to break it in by scratching it :)

I can't believe my lil' brother Porkers will be ONE on June 26th!!! Mom ordered a new water fountain for another room. I am going to put a bow on it and claim I bought that for him for his bday MOL!!!

Happy Father's Day and Bday to a friend :)

I'd like to wish all the pawsome fathers out there a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!! As Porkers mentioned in his diary, we got our daddy an Nintendo DS Light and the two "Brain" games. We also got Grandpaw one as well but he won't get it until August when he comes and visits for a week. I miss him 'cause he always gave me extra treats.

Speaking of treats, be sure and stop by *SULLY'S PAGE* as he is turning 4 years old June 21st!!! I can't wait to eat his cake :) Have a good one dude!

Size of a medium dog?!?!

MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got something from the Aldo auction today!!! It's my future Halloween costume!! Mom took a few pics 'cause I was posing so well (I don't mind clothes as long as they fit me).

This outfit is a size... erm... "Medium dog" *hangs head in shame* It fits with some room to boot!! :)

I'm going to send a few cats my pics 'cause it's sooooooooo cute! The rest of you will have to wait until Halloween!!!

Pansy will pay!!!

OMC!! I have been just informed that Pansy has drafted my bestie dude Sawyer's brother *SUNDAY* into the RED SOCKS TEAM!!!!

NOOooooooooooooooo!

This is going to require all us Yankee fans to come together and remedy this situation!!! OMC!! Sawyers family is a die hard Yankees fan. I know if Gordy reads this he'll agree! OMC! We must stop her!!!

I'm going to call in the raggie twins 'cause I know their dead weight will stop her! INCLUDING Zorro! Nikko! Scooter! I'm on my way! And I'm going to recruit OUR set of twins!!!

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

*sniffs and gets a whiff of food!!*

Hmmmmmmm I smell the food being prepared for one of my friend's birthday party tomorrow... *wafts the smell towards his pink nose* Oh this is going to be torture... I must... NOT... EAT... the food before scheduled tomorrow...

Some father of one of my siblings has a birthday tomorrow... Can you guess who?

Ok, enough about the guessing... I want food!!!

And for those reading... Did you all see the lambie/Sully fur in their vacuum?!?! Porkers is NOT happy... He thinks Sully gave his Lambie a haircut... Or yet... worse... He will pay... My black Ya-Wobbly fluff will make SURE of that!!!

DDP Today!!!

Oooooo Mom just woke up and saw I'm a DDP!! Thanks for the pawmails, friend requests and rosettes :)

Dad is still pretty excited about the races in VA :) They've been showing a lot of coverage on the news.

But unfortunately, some bad news just happened in DC :( A bad bad man was BAD BAD at the Holocaust Museum. Yikes! My thoughts go out to the security guard and his family!

Hope you're all doing well in this HOT weather!!!

Daddy's help with the campaign in VA paid off!

Daddy is VERY happy now! As mentioned earlier, he took off 2 weeks from work to help VA's NEW Governor win :) So dad will be attending a lot of the after party/celebratory events.

I wonder if he'll bring some food home for me :)

Ok, back to sleeping...

Daddy's been on the local news :)

So our dad has been off work for a week (and this week as well) to help out with VA's campaign stuff. He's been on the local news a lot and the newest stint is *HERE* at the 5 min mark (he's sitting down on the far right) MOL!!! No interviews, but he's been helping make phone calls, putting up 10,000 signs, etc.,

A note to all VA residents, vote on Tuesday!

Hope all my friends had a great weekend :)

Excercise!!!

Oooooooooo! Mom and dad just got back from buying bikes!!! Mom got the 7.2 FX WSD Trek 15" Hybrid bike and dad got the same but male version.

Mom tried the ones with suspension and the ones that made you sit more upright but mom couldn't control the bike. She felt like she was going to loose her grip!! So mom went w/ the old school types :)

We get to pick up our bike Sunday 'cause they gotta put them together :) Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

No way am I going to bike ride! I don't believe in exercise!! I only exercise my belly :)

Two thumbs up... errr... Dang, no thumbs...

I wanted to say that new Catster/Firefox add on on the main page is PAWSOME!!! I love it! Mom loves it too!

We multi task when we're online, and now we can just click above to see our mail OR groups OR Snuzzy OR Blogs, etc.,!

It's a VERY cool feature! We only use Firefox (not IE) and we love it! LOVE IT! Dad has to install this on the lappy but woah! Try it out guys!!! Firefox has great add ons. Like another good one is session manager. When you install it, the next time you boot up your computer? It'll open the previous web page you were on! PAWSOME!!!

Pansy's Pimple :)

Awwwwwww poor thing. I do feel bad about her pimple. Mom complains when she gets those too MOL

I hope it's nothing serious though!!! I'm going to have to agree with Lancelot. I think it may be hormonal. I mean, she's under a lot of stress... All that plotting against my family has to take a toll on her :)

In the meantime I saw that Mercy gave her some zit creme. Little did Pansy know, I am a certified Dr. I'll have to keep an eye on her... If it gets worse, Dr. Boogie Meowsa will have to intervene. MWHAHAHA

But no, I hope she's ok furrr real, and nothing serious is surfacing! ((pun intended))

I'm a DDP today!!

Wowsas!! Mom was just checking her email as we're about to go to bed. Yes, you read that right. It's a little after 6 AM EST here. Mom gave up on trying to have a "normal" person's schedule.

And I'm glad she checked her mail as I'm a DDP! First time in about 3 months :)

The weather is going to be HOT AND HUMID here :( No strolling. Speaking of, Lancelot and family just bought a stroller :) Super excited for them!

Ok, off to bed until like 3pm MOL. Weeeeeeee DDP!!!

I heart the UK!

Since I'm lazy, and quite frankly too tired as I just groomed myself (it's tough work) I'm copying Tiskers' diary, but note... He wrote it first. I had to add that disclaimer or else he'd sit on me :)

OMC OMC OMC!!! *TITCH* sent us a pawsome package!!

You see, Titch is not only one of the cutest orangie cat, but he's in our Ultimate Harry Potter Fan Club group! He graciously held a contest where we could re-write a chapter from any HP book but from the cat's point of view. Tiskers was the one to try and win the book. He really is probably the smartest cat in the family MOL! Anyway, he used Crookshanks :) Well it was a tie! So our family and Tasha's family were sent the UK version of the book mentioned.

We have a big bookcase dedicated to HP but didn't have the UK version. OMC OMC! NOW WE DO!! Weeeeeeeeeeee

Also inside there was the STRONGEST smelling mousie we have EVER smelled. No seriously, they don't make mousies like that in the states.

OMC OMC OMC! THANK YOU TITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

OH! I won something from the Aldo auction! I can't meow what it is as I'm HOPING it fits as it'll be my Halloween 2009 outfit :)

Why do I have this unsettling feeling that it WON'T fit? I haven't heard about what to do in regards to paying for the item, so I hope they don't forget me :)

I stole mom's credit card and can pay instantly :) hehe

Hope all our friends have a pawsome weekend!! Mom teaches today and then they're going to PetSmart for more food (always good to stock up since ProPlan cans are 50 cents each!) and they plan to check out BJ's club. We've had Costco for 5 years, but we like how BJ has our dry food and a gas station (currently $2.40 here at most gas stations).

Sully's evil! :)

At least 1.5 years ago...

My purrsonal war with Pansy started :) I have since lost track as to who's ahead. There were a few riffs that were just cut throat! The girl knows how to fight so you do NOT wanna upset her MOL

Happy 2nd annifurrsary *PANSY*

I was trying to do a cute picture but mom didn't get up early enough. She and dad barely got to the vet on time even though it's a 3 mile drive MOL

Tiski got back from the vet as he had to get a CBC/Mini-Chemistry, Cystocentesis and Specific Gravity (basically 3 week blood work).

All looks good. One test showed that his kid-knee readings was mildly elevated which is common with Lasix. So Dr. Cutie Pants is faxin' over the results to the Cardiologist. Tiski is on 1/2 lasix 2x a day, and Dr. Cutie said that more than likely we'll reduce the lasix to 1/4 tab 2x a day. The first thing the Vet said when he walked into the room, "WOW! Machida was phenomenal on Saturday!!!!!!!!!"

Our pawrents and our Vet LOVE UFC. The fight they're meowing about was the one on Pay Preview on the 23rd. Our parwents LOVED last Saturday's card!!!

All dogs DO go to heaven...

I just read that our bestie Lancelot's family is grieving. Their doggy *ENIGMA* didn't wake up Sunday :( He had an enlarged heart for some time, but unfortunately he made his journey to the bridge oh too soon :(

My thoughts go out to their family :(

Barf update!!!!!!!!

Ooooo those who bet on ME barfing first on the new carpet? WRONG!

Porkers ALMOST barfed and dad scooped him up and he yacked on the kitchen floor.

PHEW!! Crisis averted!!!! OMC!!!

Hondo is 6 today!!!

It's officially May 25 on the East Coast!!! I'd like to wish my brother Hondo a fabulous 6th birthday!!! 5 years today, mom and dad adopted him :) He is mom's 1st cat too!! (Daddy turned mom into a cat lover)

The lovely Pansy has thrown him a PINK AND FABULOUS party!!! Your caterer is moi!! Chef Boogitsu!! *bows*

All day party *HERE*

We'll be by 5pm EST we hope as our computer is in the spare room and that's one of the rooms the carpet dudes are putting new scratching posts, I mean, new carpet down :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeee

Birthday Party!!! FREE FOOD!!!!

Oooooooo my brother *HONDO* will turn 6 tomorrow, May 25th :) My bestest *PANSY* is throwing him a surprise PINK PARTY!!!!

It'll be an all day party, and we'll be able to attend either at 5 pm EST or 7 pm EST. We're not sure what time exactly 'cause our carpet dudes are coming in to install 3/4 of the carpet (the other 1/4 on Tuesday).

So naturally our internet MIGHT be down until we can plug it back in. I told Pansy we're not sure if we have an internet plug in our Master bedroom (where some of our stuff will be, while we're on lock down with mom in the bathroom), but if we do? Then we'll be around more often! Mom is going to have dad move the dresser to see if we do.

We have the lappy but no internet connection plugie? No lappy!

So be sure to read her diary for directions to an all day party!!!

Shoutbox is MIA again!

D'oh! I was about to torment Pansy, errm I mean, say HELLO!! But I see the box is MIA!

I bet you Sully tampered with it. Just sayin' is all :)

Ok, time to make Lasagna, or rather, put it in the oven :) We like Costco's lasagna! Besides, it takes too long to make it the old fashioned way and mom always burns her hands on the lasagna noodles (they are always super hot).

Sully??? You have been spared embarassment!!

Grrrrrr but only for another 24 hours... I won't say WHO has been feeding me hints as to who has been a bad kitty to my brother 'Chops... But they will be receiving a lil' something soon.

Given that I have been busy wit my Boogoria duty's and the fact that my pawrents are going to PetSmart in a few to stock up on food 'cause I'm a growing lil' boy *wink* and there's some good sales, my plan has been postponed another day.

Mark my words though! It is being executed right now, but delayed... You have been spared :)

MWHAHAHAHA!!

Who's the newest Catster?!?!

Meet this handsome lil' dude *Truffles* awwwwwwww isn't he cute?!?!

He's from the family of Picasso and is coming home TONIGHT!! Yes tonight!!! Auntie Barbi wanted to adopt a cat from the shelter for her birthday and also in remembrance of Kashmere who passed too soon.

He has a pawsome family and we can't wait to see him grow up!!! WOOHOO!! He is CUTE! I know Hondo wants to show him the way. Oh dear... RUN! He is going to try and convince you pink is the bestest color! It's not! It's BLUE!!!!

Pansy's alive!

Oooo! Mom just got home from teaching and saw that Pansy had written me on her phone while she was stuck at a light.

I was meowing with Nikko that I hadn't heard from her in a while so figured:

A) 'Net died
B) She was en route to their home
C) Both of the above

I'm betting Sully had her held hostage! You see, he WANTS her lambie AND my lil' brother, PorkChop's lambie!! HE MUST BE STOPPED she said! I agree!!!

BATH!! AHHHHHHHHHH

Ok, you all know how much I LOVEEEEEEEEE baths! I do, could have one daily if it was permitted!

But, I do NOT like my feetsies wet!! I mean, why get my feet wet when you can just get all of ME wet?

So apparently mom woke up dad 'cause she was "snoring" so he left and went into the spare room MOL. So when mom woke up, she noticed I was by her, not daddy. So I decided to leave the room and went to use the litter box. I came in, RUNNING onto the bed but kept kicking my left paw. Mom rolled me to my side and saw I erm... Stepped in my you're-in 'cause I you're-in BIG. Reebok is the only other cat I know who does that 'cause we're both big dudes...

So mom finds dad while she starts the water. Keep in mind, the humans are tired as they went to bed at 4am and it was about 8am. Mom is blind w/o contacts so she calls for dad while starting the water. Dad has 20/10 vision so he scoops me up and gets me in the tub. And I didn't like that! He was splashin' water on my feet and the tub hadn't filled much.

Oh well, I survived but seriously, what give me a teaser bath?!

Tomorrow at 3pm mom and dad are having a long meow with the Vet. Mom doesn't like phones or talking about serious issues over the phone. So they knead to meow about things regarding Tiski. We're all glad we don't have to go :)

Thanks for the continuous purrs for my bro. He's no longer on Diltaizm (spelling?) as it was making his system sick. So only Lasix and Enalopril 2.5

Happy Mother's Day!

We were all good boys today and didn't wake mom up :) Normally one of us will do a crazy cat routine and jump ON mom which wakes her up and makes her a bit cranky :)

Dad made mom Sushi in bed (canned tuna fish mixed w/ mayo, cucumber instead of avocado 'cause mom hates it). We're not huge Sushi lovers and generally stick to CA Rolls or Tempura, but mom does like our Tuna Sushi (we don't like raw fish).

We all surprised mom with a medium sized heart SS locket from Tiffany's. She was super surprised and had been eying that for a while. The chain we bought wasn't the kind she liked, and since it happens to be the most popular one (what ever that oooo link looking one is) it's back ordered but we'll be getting a call Wednesday to pick it up. While we were there, mom also picked out her late Bday gift. She wanted the travel case and picked out Tiffany Blue.

I kept telling my bros our love (especially mine) is a gift enough but Hondo said he was in knead of retail therapy. Although he was mad we didn't get mom Pink, we knew mom wanted the blue MOL

Hope you all had a pawsome Mother's Day!!

Back from the Cardiologist... Tiskers and my family need- purrs...

Mommy Samantha here. I am home with my baby Tiskers but it is with great difficulty that I report that the news isn't great.

I had noticed 2 days ago that Tiskers was breathing differently. He was on the computer desk with me and had a bad dream. When he woke up and calmed down, his breathing seemed more labored than normal. I could see that his sides were going in and out more than normal. Looking at the others, it was obvious that Tiskers breathing pattern was different.

Having never really payed attention to his breathing, for all I knew, this was "normal" but it wasn't normal for him as I would have seen this.

He had an appointment today at 11AM with the vet. While the vet heard no heart murmur, and things felt fine (other than a full bladder), we agreed to do blood tests and a Radiograph (x-rays of his heart/lungs).

The heart looked fine from the Radiograph, but near the lung area, there was what appeared to be some blockage (I forget what he said). So they took 2 more from different angles. We laughed as poor Tiskers had a lot of poopie in the x-ray...

I agreed that we should look into this more and he was able to get me into the Cardiologist in Leesburg, VA (15-20 min drive). Dan dropped me off as he had to go to class as it's finals week.

They took me back and I gave them the Radiograph CD and blood results (which were great!). They did an Ultra sound and Eciograph (spelling?). And while he told me the results, I just stood there numb.

Diagnosis:
-Moderate to borderline severe juvenile onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
-Severe posterior wall and apical left ventricular hypertrophy
-Mild left atrial chamber dilation
-Congestive heart failure manifested by pleural effusion

He is on Diltiazem 30mg 2x a day, Lasix/Furosemide 12.5 mg 2x a day, and Children's Apsril 81 mg (1/2 tab 2x weekly)

The outcome depends on how he takes the medicine. If he vomits and doesn't eat, then there's plan B, aka different meds.

Basically, to dumb it down... He had mild heart failure when we brought him in (he did get a Lasix shot), the left side of his heart is affected. The walls are thick in the left ventricular and there was fluid in the left av___ (forget what part of the heart). Unfortunately he won't have the long life we had hoped. The Cardiologist said he had a cat earlier with very similar readings who was here today for his 5 month checkup. But he did say, unfortunately, not to be morbid, since he is so young, he's guessing a year... As long as there's no clots (which can paralyze a cat and are PAINFUL), there will be no suffering and it would be quick.

Please keep my baby in your prayers. He's such a mommy's boy and I'm just devastated. We have been aware that Main Coons and Raggies are prone to getting Cardiomyopathy. They are not born with it.

I'd like to thank Barbi for being there the moment I got the news and for doing a diary entry for me and my baby Tiskers. Catster is a great place and a wealth of knowledge. I can't thank you enough for your purrs.

Dan is going to Target to fill the prescriptions and I'm going to spend time with my baby...

Thank you,
Samantha and Tiskers

Tiskers Is Now At The Cardiologist!

Hello... this is Snowmitts & Co's mommy, Barbi updating you on Tiskers' Vet appointment. Tiskers' mom gave me her Catster info to log on with the recent info so that I can share it with you (while she is at the Vet).

At at 11:00 am this morning, Tiskers had a Vet appointment because his mommy, Sam saw that he was breathing faster than normal. The Vet did several x-rays as well as blood work but the x-ray revealed that there may be some fluids surrounding his lung area. He is now at the Cardiologist having special test done to help determine his diagnoses. I am so upset right now because as you know, my beloved Picasso was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy (terminal heart disease) and the reason that I brought him to the Vet was for the same reason (his breathing). When they did the x-ray on Picasso, it also showed that there was fluid in his heart area (lungs). This does NOT mean that Tiskers has Cardiomyopathy for sure but we should still be very concerned at the moment since fluid is not normal. Please keep Tiskers and his family in your prayers that he'll be ok. I am very scared and upset right now and I will pray extra hard that this little boy will be ok. Sam is doing exactly what I did when I noticed this similar problem with Cassi. When mom's notice something isn't right with our pets, the first thing we do is make sure that they get the proper care and that's part of being a good and responsible parent. We love you Sam and Tiskers and please know that we're here for you, always.

Love and Prayers~
Barbi & Kitties

New carpet = New scratching post? *evil grin*

Ooooooo! We're getting new carpet at the end of the month!!! It'll be over two days as mom has 5 HUGE book cases full of books and about 10,000 cd cases to somehow store during this carpet business...

That should be interesting... Shoving a bunch of litter to make room so the carpet peeps can do their thang!!!

I'm thinking this new carpet will be MY new scratching post :) Afterall, I didn't get a new post for Catmas. I swear I'm not pouting...

I wonder how long it takes... All we know is that it'll be a two day thing.

Thanks to my homegirl Simba for the world!!! I'm thinking of her as always!! Cinco de Meow will always be the day Simba turns another year cute at the bridge :) Love you girl!!!

Happy Cinco de Meow!!!

Hola!! Mi llamo Boogers. Ermm... Yo gusto mucho Tiki cans!! Mmmm!

I'm not so good at Spanish, but I'm very FLUENT in spanglish :) Pansy reminded me of the pictures she made my family last year for Cinco de Meow and while it took about 20 min to find, I found them!!! Ole'!

I'd like to also wish my friend, the late *SIMBA* , a Happy Birthday at Rainbow Bridge tomorrow *sniffs*

A very cool picture frame/photo album from Aspen and fam!

Ooooo today is beginning to be a good day! First Fido is a DDP *tries to hide that he's happy for him* and now that mom's up? She went and got the mail and inside was a package from Aspen and family!!

They sent mom a pawsome bday gift!! It's a beautiful cat picture frame, BUT it's not just a picture frame! It's like a small flip photobook where we can put cat pictures in it, but it stands up like a frame! Very cool as we've never seen anything like it!

Thank you so much Aunti Barbi and family!! I, of course, will be gracing the cover before my brothers do MOL!!! Pictures to follow by tonight as mom has to work out, teach, and then she'll post pics and HOPEFULLY fix my page!

Seriously mom, I want a new page!!! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter @ BoogersCat

hehe!

Twwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

*jumps up and down and tries to ignore his belly "muscle" from giggling*

Mom just got home and I see that a bunch of cats and people we know from Catster are FOLLOWING me on Twitter!!! Oooooooooo!

I can't put a picture of myself yet as they're doing things... But I hope to have my page spiffed up soon!! Now I'm following those who are following me too!!! Dang, why did I resist this Twitter thing so long?!?!

Twitter...

Mom and I caved... We decided to join Twitter only 'cause I didn't want someone stealin' my name before I could pick one out mwhahaha!

BoogersCat is the name... It'll be my twitter page as mom doesn't have time :) I can't post a pic for the thumbnail at the moment as it's down...

OMC!!! We can leave comments on people's diaries?!?!?!?!

*gasp*

Leave it to Calvin and family to be on top of things!! I just saw that in my mom's email (I swear I didn't hack her email) there was a message that someone had left a comment about my most recent diary!

Low and behold Calvin left a message!

What a NEAT feature!! Gosh, this is almost as if Catster is like FB and Twitter!!! WOW!! Kudos!

I'm so glad to be back :) Especially now that I can tell everyone that Fido has litter on his nose MOL!!!

Back on Catster!

Grandpaw just got dropped off at the airport (it's a 5 min drive from our home, IF that), and mom was really sad...

Here's hoping he can make it out in June for his bday!!

During this week, Fido and I strolled together with Grandpaw and our pawrents. Tiskers and Porkers LOVED it too!

In fact, this was Porker's first week strolling! He loved it so much that when we parked the stroller in our hallway, he sat inside it wanting to go again :) Unfortunately, it's raining today so no strolling for him. His lamb was safe and DID stroll with them. I told Porkers it was best that his lamb stroll with him. Never know who might be lurking while we're gone!

Time to catch up on what's going on in Catster land!

Lucky cat No. 6, a mini Boogers!

First off I'd like to thank those who wished my meowmy a pawsome 31st birthday! She said it was the BEST birthday ever! Mainly 'cause grandpaw hasn't been around ON the day of mom's bday since she was in High School!!!

They had a fabulous dinner last night at Outback as mom wanted steak :) She said she's gaining weight from eating out so much MOL!

Yesterday on her bday, they went to Baltimore, MD and visited the Inner Harbor :) They couldn't have picked a better day as it was 84!! Today is almost 90!

For mom's bday, she received a mini Boogers from Cat in the Clover! And as luck would have it, it's lucky cat #6 which is mom's FAVORITE number!! Originally I had placed an order for Mother's Day next month, but it was done early and dad and I figured we'd give her that for her bday instead since Daddy hadn't found a gift yet :)

I'll be posting pictures soon but we gotta go as they're off to eat dinner!! We're missing the Meowathon again but we'll be back soon!

I wonder if Mini Boogers can protect my lil' brother PorkChop's lamb... He received an annonymousie rosette the other day... Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Happy Birthday Mommy!!

Tomorrow, April 24, my mom turns 31!! Eep!! I can't wait for her birthday gift from daddy and us boys arrive. It might arrive tomorrow, but if not, by Saturday :)

Grandpaw arrived at our house yesterday April 22nd and is staying for a week. Mom hasn't celebrated her birthday with daddy since probably High School!

He took my pawrents out to Cheesecake yesterday, and tonight we're eating at home. They went to Mount Vernon, home of the first president :) And then got Maggie Moo's icecream on the way home! I however, didn't get any :(

Tomorrow, they might go to Baltimore, MD and visit the Pier. It's an hour away from here assuming traffic behaves. For dinner they'll get steak I'm sure! And they better bring ME some home!

Mittens and Fido are afraid of Grandpaw MOL!! But me and Tiskers are soakin' in the lovies :)

Miss my friends, but we're still on to check mail daily and honors :) Sully, don't you dare take Porkers' lamb from him! I told Grandpaw about you!!!

Kashmere is an Angel :(

*KASHMERE* suddenly passed to Rainbow Bridge April 21, 2009 :(

Barbi was going to bed, and all of a sudden, Kashmere made a loud noise, was convulsing, and she died in her mom's arms.

This just happened before midnight EST. Barbi is going to the vet in the morning and will get an autopsy.

We're so sorry for Barbi and family. This is very sudden and random as she was healthy!! She has no idea what happened nor do we.

Happy Birthday Cocoa!

Wow, our bestie *COCOA* is turning 14 April 21st (Tuesday). He looks fabulous don't cha think?!?!

His brother and bestie, Aspen, is throwing him an all day party *HERE* , so be sure to stop by if you can! I believe I saw Pooh there!!!

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Cocoa!!!

Also, hoping our friends didn't loose power! There were some nasty T-Storms on the East Coast!

Laptop and $200 in cat food! Oh my!!!

So my mom and dad just came back from shopping! This has been a very busy weekend for them both!

Yesterday we missed the Meowathon as my pawrents met up for brunch with friends (dad's co-workers). They went to Cheesecake Factory and mom got the Spinach dip and a Raspberry cheesecake. They also went grocery shopping prior as we were out of food since we go once a month.

Today they bought a Tashiba laptop and are deciding to go wireless finally. Mom's a fan of the desktop, and has gone through 2 laptops since college. But alas, she decided to get one.

I can't wait for mom to set things up! Why? 'cause I know my mom will be fixing up our pages soon now that she can watch tv with us on the sofa AND work on our pages :)

Don't get me wrong, I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee the bunny pic Pansy made, but I gotta update things!

PetSmart had GREAT sales on moist and dry food so they bought 3 bags of dry and 8 cases of moist! They saved $40 with their pet perk card!!!

Voki!!

D'oh!! I see I have some new Voki messages!! I'm so bad at checking those but I have read all of them.

Is there a way to get notifications when you get a new Voki? I thought there was and if so, I could have sworn we said, "yes please". MOL

Mom was so upset that she missed out on a photo opt. I was snuggling with the Evil Assistant (seriously, I don't blame Calvin on helping bring her to my house MOL) Phloxie and mom went into the other room to take a picture. So what's a cat to do? I followed her :) Photo opt ruined!

Busy weekend for us. Tomorrow mom gets her hair cut, going to Costo with dad and then grocery shopping for the month (we go once a month and stock up), then Target, and then mom teaches. Then Saturday we're meeting one of Dad's friends from work (both the husband and wife work with Dad) for an early dinner. The only down fall is that we miss the Meowathon but it's STILL ON!! Lancelot will take charge :)

Need a new secretary!!!

Gosh, our pages have NEVER not been updated for holidays since we first joined Catster! But the past month or so, our help is slacking! Anyone taking commissions?

Why can't I have a secretary like Pansy's or Snowmitts? *pouts*

Mom's been busy doing errands preparing for Grandpaw's arrival a week from tomorrow! And mom is not looking forward to turning 31 in 10 days. Oh dear...

In the meantime, I have taken the liberty to make sure Sully LEARNS his lesson... He best be watching his back... No furr real!!! Just you wait!!! *rubs paws together*

In the meantime, a bunch of the FB crew have been having issues with our favorite application and game: Pet Society! Grrrrrrrrr I bet you Sully has something to do with that... Be strong my friends! Mom is going to try and take pics of her eyes as they're looking normal. Still a bit swollen but she can now wear makeup and her lids aren't like 1 inch tall anymore MOL!!!

Sully... You... Me... Soon...

Zorro?!

MOL! A lot happens when your 'net is down! But hark! Zorro is in town. *thinks to himself... yup, my catitude IS in check now that Zorro is watching me*

Good thing I have Phloxie to keep me on my best behavior!! Ok, time to help mom make dinner. I know she's cooking chicken, and OH HOW I LOVE Chicken!

MINE! Back off! :)

Easter Card from Skeezix!

D'oh!! See what kind of a week it's been?!? I'd also like to thank Skeezix for sending us a, as he says, "kyoot" Easter Card in the mail!!! The card is the one shown as his main picture *HERE*

Ok, I think we're ALMOST caught up online! Phew!!

Happy Easter *Internet is on!*

WOWIEEE! This has been an awful week for our computer and internet time!!!

I'd first like to say Happy Easter everyone! Although I'm sure you're all done eating your nom noms, and have enjoyed your Easter Day!

For the past 48+ hours, our internet has been down!!! Evil Verizon!! And then when it came back on, our DVD/CD drive kept opening, and closing! Allie's mom said our cup holder might be broken. Worst case, if Dell can't help tomorrow, when our grandpaw comes on April 22nd, we'll have him fix it :) Mom is loosing faith in the Dell peeps.

In the meantime, 2 days ago we received an Easter goodie from Cocoa and Co! We had the pictures taken but since our internet went out about 5:30-6pm Friday, we couldn't post them! Mom has to upload them to the computer and then the Raggies will post pics and a diary :)

I gotta finish sending out my Easter goodies! EVIL COMPUTER!!!

Helping the economy...

So mom hasn't bought clothes in a LONG time... She bought jeans last year and decided she needed NEW clothes.

She managed to find 3 pairs of cute shorts, and 4 tops! The style this season seems to be hippy/bohemian wear. Mom is all trendy now and feels great that her clothes were a size smaller! She's been working out and it's paying off! She wants to loose 10 pounds by summer to be back at her college weight.

When she got home a few minutes ago from teaching, she saw that there was an email from the makers of Squishable!! Ooooooo! They have new ones! And a kitty one!!! I wonder if Sully is still hoggin' the one we sent Pansy.

We should be back on Catster full time this weekend. Mom has been spending time backing up the rest of things now that the virus is gone. EVIL EVIL!!! We had 90% of our pics/video's backed up. But now we're almost done :)

In the meantime, my friend *DAISY* has a problem... Her mom can't get onto FB but they're working on it. Something about a password... Both my mom and her mom play this one game and oh dear... Hopefully they'll get back to her soon!!! Our mom's are ADDICTED!!!

Thanks Pansy for the gifty!! I gotta get my easter stuff out soon! Dang virus messed up my plan!!!!

VIRUS!!!

Seeing as mom is up at 10:20 AM (note she hasn't gone to sleep yet) I might as well get a diary in!!

Mom was doing her usual thing on FB, an application she's used for months (along w/ other catster friends) and all of a sudden mom's virus program detected Malware (spelling) and ACK!

So she called the Dell people and they took control of her computer, downloaded things, scanned, you name it! All SHOULD have been fixed but once she got off the phone and the chat w/ him? She logged onto Firefox (we don't use IE), and Norton 360 saw another virus!! 13 to be exact!!!

So mom was FURIOUS and TIRED and called again. The person she talked with did fix things *knock on wood* but mom had an AWEFUL time trying to understand her thick Eastern accent. That Dell tech did the same thing the other guy did, but instead of deleting 4 programs that got rid of the bad stuff, she KEPT them on. She said they kneaded to be on for 24 hours and while I can delete them after 24 hours, they only have so-many scans and then the programs are obsolete. Mom is NOT taking chances!!!

I'd like to Concatulate Mago for his DOTD!!! We are officially out of zealies and our stash doesn't come in until April 14. So I OWE YOU DUDE! I won't forget!! Mom is all paranoid about her computer so she doesn't want to charge anything.

EVIL EVIL people who write virus programs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boogwabb at your service!

MOL!! I love my new pic from Pansy! You see, this picture is dear to my heart... She loves my pink nose *wiggles* so it's only fitting that she caught me wiggling my nose!!

Wow, I'm up early! Mom is trying to go to bed earlier 'cause grandpaw is coming to visit late April 'cause mom is turning another year old. Also the phone rang at 6:00 AM 'cause dad was called into work for some OT.

So in the meantime, it's just me and my mom.... Oh yeah, my brothers too :) I have the HP meowathon tonight which I can't wait to read. I can't believe Pansy doesn't like HP! *gasp*

Mom kneads to take a reshoot of Tiskers in his bunny tie for Calvin. I'm the only one in the family who likes to pose for pics :) hehe!

Time to catch up on Catster *yawn* It's so early! Boogie isn't used to this early stuff!!!

Brace yourself!!!

I am in total agreement with Pansy! If you look on your page, you see this yucky camera on the top left corner of your pics... Me no likey!!!

I told Pansy it might be Murray in NY's doing? Or maybe it was a way for Sawyer Loaf to get back at Pansy for trying to cook him?

Hmmmmmmm interesting! Later kitties! Gotta help mom with pics as I'll do anything for mom :) She's taking pics of the raggies as they got an Easter tie from their Unkie Lancelot!

Sawyer loaf???

Oh my! Good thing I'm back as I just saw my fellow tux dude Sawyer!! Holy cats! Look at *THIS*

Don't worry Sawyer dude! I'll save youuuuuuuuuuu!!!

I'm Free!

I have one day of medicine left and then I'm done w/ my two bottles of Clavayuck! 1 1/2 ml 2x a day is just plain yucky!

Dad just got done cleaning our drinkwells. I'm feeling better. Still a bit snotty but I always did have a snot problem, hence the name Boogers :)

Time to catch up on Catster!!!!

They say it's your birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

WOOT! I'd like to wish my tiki supplier *MURRAY IN NY* a happy 8th Birthday!!! I think he looks smashing in his bday hat :)

I'm glad to see Colleen had a pawsome birthday yesterday too!! Her mom and mine chatted a bit yesterday about Colleen's cake :) It looked YUMMERS!!!

Incriminating video!!

So a few days before I got sick (less sneezies but my nose is still running!) mom took *THIS VIDEO* of me chasing my tail... *sigh* It's true, I told you all I'm part dog!!

I've gotten a few emails that my friends thought it was genius to STAND on my tail once I caught it :)

And her name is "Phloxie"

Holy cats! It's 9pm and mom just got home!! How dare they leave me alone since noon today!!!

Well when mom came home, she was carrying a lot of bags. You see, she went shopping and then had to teach late afternoon.

Not only did she bring in some goodie bags, but a big box came from Cat in the Clover! Oh my! Mom opened that first as it was addressed to me! Inside I was presented with a lovely friend named " *PHLOXIE* ". She was sent from my bestest *PANSY* and the note inside said that she is sent to "Keep a very close eye on me" MOL!!! Awwwwww thanks so much Pansy!! I shall take good care of her! Oh boy... I mauled her like I did my *SQUISHABLE* so you KNOW it's good!! Thank you so so much!

I'd like to thank everyone for their kind pawmails and gifties. My sneezes are less frequent, but I still sound like I have a runny nose. Runny Boogers if you would :) Dad has let mom sleep with me for the past few days ALONE while he slept in the spare room or the couch. My dad is pawsome!

Mom can NOW access Catster on her phone as she ditched her 2 year old BB Curve and got the new BB Bold! She loves it :) Ok, time to post pictures of Phloxie!!! *grins*

QUARANTINED!!! **UPDATE**

*hmph* I'm stuck in the master bedroom all by myself :( In fact last night I slept with mom and dad while the others were locked out!

I think I have a cold and am waiting for the vet to call so we can get Clavimox. I'm hoping we can just get a prescription as he saw 5 of us the last 2 months and our shots are up to date *tries to save mom $60 vet fee as the Clavimox is $40 here*

I've always sneezed daily, almost like a raggie! But yesterday I started sneezing a lot.

Mom stuck me in the HOT HOT bathroom as she had ran the shower with HOT HOT water. I do not dig saunas and was crying :(

Woah is me! Sully you better watch out!

--

Thanks for the pawmails of concern! I have 2 boxes of liquid Clavamox and 2x a day I need to take 1 1/2 of the yucky yuck. So while my bros are pretty mad that they're locked out of the room, I am happy to be w/ my mom. We're watching a few dvd's :) *bonks*

Lasagna!!!

Ooooooooooo I smell Lasagna! My humans woke up at 3pm *hmph* so they're back on dad's night schedule.

Unfortunately they haven't had food since about 7pm last night and it's 4:15 pm now! Even more unfortunate, the lasagna takes about 1.5 hours to cook! Mom sometimes makes her own, but she bought the ones at Costco (yummers). So now we're all waiting (especially me) for the food to cook. I love cheese... Mmmmmmmmmm

Did you all see my cool pic from Pansy? I gotta change my page as I still have St. Patty's up! *glares at mom* I knead a better secretary.

Sully? I have NOT forgotten about you Mr.!!!!

A mermaid??

Wha? I see Pansy is all decked out in her new Mermaid outfit! But ummm I see I'm her fellow Boogahorse!!! *gasp*

It could be worse... As in, it could be worse to be Sullivan right now... Yes, the SAME Sully that lives with Pansy. I feel for her... You see her EVIL x2 brother has been hogging her Squishable!! I hate to inform him, but he will pay!!

I must consult my fellow confidants. And no Sully, I'm NOT going to disclose their names!

Thank you everyone for the great St. Patty's Day gifties! I'm sorry we couldn't return the favor on all of the ones we've received. Mom told us we were to not buy zealies after the first of the year as we don't like how proceeds don't help fellow animal shelters. So we've made a pact with mom. Every month, we use the $25 we normally spent on zealies and give part of the $ to Fancy Cats (where me and Hondo were adopted from) and since mom and other Catsters play on some applications on Facebook (which proceeds go to animal shelters in some apps), we're donating our cat treat $ towards that.

We gotta save our zealies for the upcoming bday's!

Did someone say Food? As in MORE FOOD!?!?!

The big brother of my brothers *SNOWMITTS* turns 3 tomorrow! You know, on St. Patrick's Day!!!!!

There's an all day party *HERE* . Tiskers did a fantastic job setting up things! And what ever you hear, I DID NOT EAT ALL THE FOOD!!!!

Happy Birthday Snowmitts!!! And hope all our friends have a great St. Patrick's Day!

Did someone say PARTY?!?!?!

Oooooooooooooo in 30 minutes on the East Coast, my bestie *PANSY* turns 11 years young! I must agree, that age chart is so wrong! She's far from being 60! Please, her math skills are spot on! :)

There's an all day party *HERE* and the theme is pink and princess!!!

I hope you have a FANTASTIC birthday Pansy!!! :)

I wonder....

I wonder if Pansy likes my pink nose 'cause it reminds her of her favorite color Pink? All I know is that she looks super cute on her new Bday quilt!

I'm so happy it arrived in time for her Birthday this Sunday!! I had a hard time trying to figure out a purrrfect gift for a princess... Note to you cats, she IS a princess so finding a gift for Royalty was not easy!

The Catster Group *CATSTER MARKETPLACE* is a group that's HQ approved where many talented mommies can sell things :) We love the group as you can find neat gifts! So alas, we decided to go with Colorado Catnip toys (in the group) and found the purrrfect gift for Pansy!

I gotta admit, she looks super cute on her quilt! Eeeeeeeeee I can't wait for Pansy's Birthday!

In the meantime, dad has agreed (even though mom said he could join her in the same room again MOL) to sleep on the couch. He wants to make sure mom's eyes heal! Stitches came out yesterday and she says it's like having someone pluck an eyebrow out but near your lash line. In another words, OUCHY on the corners of the eyes! Her lids are super huge and swollen but it'll go down in a couple weeks.

*MOL*

It's true.... PorkChop and Fido are complaining that "I" Boogers am the ONLY cat who gets to sleep w/ mom behind closed doors.

Fido and PorkChop can be wild at night and mom can't chance that they step on her eyelids and hurt her stitches. And yes, they DO sometimes jump on mom's head!

So the past few nights only I, Boogers, get to sleep with mom! Even dad is in the spare bedroom :)

But last night both Fido and Porkers were crying trying to get in. Broke mom's heart but she had to do it. I'm not boasting, noooooooooooooo way Joseeeeeeeeeeeee, but I do like the perks of being a well behaved cat.

I can't wait till Pansy's birthday next week! Also Snowmitts has a birthday! And that means... FOOD!!!!

48 hours, and 30 stitches get to come out! Hoping Ele's grandpaw's surgery goes well :)

Ummmmmmmmm what else is new? Ummmmmmmm dad is teaching at the Police Academy to get certified to teach, yay dad! This calls for Tiki celebrations!!!

Miss everyone!

Back from the hospital

Boogers' dad writing for Sam. All went well during the surgery. It took about 2 hours and shes in no pain, although her eyes would suggest otherwise.

Sam wanted me to tell you all that she's thrilled both of our boys, Boogers and Fido were DDP! I've read all the rosettes to her and she'll reply sometime next week. The hardest part is trying to read as her eyes keep filling up with tears due to the trauma. She sends many thanks for all your concerns. Hopefully she won't have to do this again! We don't want to test out 3rd time's the charm.

She said if you have a strong stomach and want to see a picture, click below as we took some pictures to document the recovery. It looks worse than it feels she said and she's in no pain. The stitches come out Thursday. we're fairly certain from the looks of things, that the lower right lid is fixed once and for all. The top corners were optional to tweak even more, so she said, why not.

I hope the picture works as she told me what to do. Also can someone tell Lancelot that the meowathon might have to be canceled? I don't know how to do such thing. She can see objects, but her right eye is all watery. Left eye is fine. *picture*

Dan and Boogers

Thanks Mr. Tigger and friends!!!

Oooooo mom got back from teaching a while ago. Her day was a bit longer as she did longer lessons since she won't be teaching next week.

When she got home not only did I have a package but I had some great pawmails and rosettes to attend to!

I'd like to say Thanks Mr. Tigger for the catnip toys!!! His mom makes errrm.. Some GREAT ________. I can't disclose everything just yet as I had them send someone something... *wink* But they were super kind and sent ME a couple catnip toys! I'll have to wait until this weekend to post pics 'cause mom will be indisposed! Thank you so much Mr. Tigger!!!

Thanks goes to those who sent me a pawmail and rosette for my mommy! She'll be fine as she had this surgery back in October, but just kneads a touch up. Hopefully 2x's the charm?

Anyway, I'm off to protect mom from Nurse Pansy... Where's Margo R.K.N. when you knead her :)

*bonks*

I said, "WAKE UP!!!!!!"

So daddy is on nights this month and mom's been going to bed a bit later. Well it was 11:30 AM and I'm like, "WAKE UP"

So I jump off the bed, get a bite to eat, and then I jumped on mom :) She naturally woke up! Then she gave me lovies and then I decided to PLOP right in between them both! And I was purrrrrrrring, and mom and dad were petting me and oooooooo it felt good :) Works like a charm!

I'm glad BoogaCop cracked down on Sully! Did you see what he was doing to the squishable?! *Shakes head in disapproval*

I had to do it soon 'cause tomorrow mom gets surgery (Entropion) to fix the right lower lid and I'm going to be on in very short bits. So take care kitties and keep an eye on Sully.... Catster's MOST WANTED!

Me? Watch out?

Hark! I read Pansy's diary and appawrently someone sent her an annoymousie rosette saying they have her back!!!

Quote, ""Keeping Catster safe from all the evil "Boogs" out there! Thank you for your faithful service! "

*eyes widen* We shall see! I happen to know of a more EVIL cat than lil' ol me on Catster! YES! You heard me right!!! And this cat happens to know Pansy super duper well!!

I'll give you a hint... His name starts with the letter, "S" and ends with a "Y". THAT cat should watch his back! MWHAHAHA

Also, I just read this article about cat vaccines *HERE* I've heard about that!

I remember Orca had a shot a year ago and there was a bump and they were worried. We only get the 3 year Rabies shot and Distemper vaccination. No other shots for us because of what the article above says. We talked w/ our Vet about that, and while some do more vaccinations, our Vet doesn't over do them. And phew, glad to read that when we get our shots, how they're sorta in the back area and not the shoulder blade area, is the recommended area. Wow, I learned something new!

Happy 20th Birthday Miles!

Oh my!! Doesn't *THIS* cat look handsome as all meow?!?! Can you honestly believe he's 20 today?!?! Happy Birthday Miles!!!

Fido is all excited as Miles is his Unkie!

We hope you have a pawsome 20th Miles!!!!!

Emeralds!!

WOAH!! I got my first Emerald from my buddies *JASMINE DELILAH AND FAMILY*

Wow, these are cool!! Mom thinks they should eventually come out w/ Sapphires, Rubies, Spessarite, etc.,! hehe

Ugh I wish our stash of zealies would come in already! We're saving our last few for birthdays that are coming up in the next week. So far we're doing good on NOT buying zealies! We haven't bought any since I think Nov? Mom realized she gets more for her $ if she spends $ on a few FB applications which actually use some of the proceeds to HELP animal shelters! I wish Catster used the money towards shelters or the like. So now we use the $25 we normally used for zeales each month towards a few FB applications and Fancy Cat (where me and Hondo were adopted from). Win win!

Ok, so I am Irish :)

I decided to show my Irish roots and changed my page up a bit... Now if only I could find a rainbow with endless Tiki at the end of it :)

I laughed when I saw some of my friends changing their name to something a bit more Irish!!! MOL!!!

PS. Thanks to Calvin I have a new spiffy name! You can call me, Boogers Mc'DonTikiKing!!! MOL!!!!!!!

I'm seeing a lot of ties...

Wow! I think Pansy has started a trend! I just think she likes seeing us handsome dudes in our ties :)

So Pansy as many of you know, sent me a FABULOUS tie in my favorite color BLUE!! I told Calvin that if they get a Boogers print, to let me know! Alas, they did and look! I'm sportin' my newest tie! The Boogie tie!

And that's not all! I've seen Diego and Rufus sporting the fabulous Cat in the Clover ties!!

I have a feeling we'll be seeing more very soon :) *wink*

I'm glad Pansy is back from her vacation. Those scary Diegotoos and Calvinators were scary!! I forget what she called them, but I refused to get near them in fear they'd eat me up!

Yikes! Haircut!

Holy cats!! Mom just got home from teaching and boy oh boy did I have some interesting mail to come home to!!

First I saw that Murray in NY gave me a St. Patty's hat and THANK COD he did!!! Did you see the *HAIRCUT* I got from Pansy?!?! What am I going to do?!?! I look like one of those troll dolls!!! *Pulls hat over big head*

I haven't seen mom yet but when I do... I bet she won't be pleased!! I think I gotta have a talk with Nikko and fam and Murray to see how to remedy this...

Surgery is all set!

WOOHOOOO! Mom just got back from the Cardiologist and is all set for another surgery for her Entropion March 6th! She had that surgery back in October, but the lower right lid/inner corner didn't take as well. The muscle was just too strong. So she's going back in AGAIN. What a pain. Here's hoping it's flawless this time around!

In other news, I just got done picking out a pink Tuxedo Cat tie from Cat in the Clover's site :) I had told Calvin how much I lovedddddddd my blue tie from Pansy that if they ever saw a Tuxedo cat print, to make me one!! And they did! I just placed my order :) Dad is proud. In fact, he's the one who encouraged me to buy it. You see, dad collects ties, cuff links, and watches. While I won't wear those other things, I do like neck wear :)

I owe it to Pansy!

Happy Birthday Nikko! Porkers was excited to send the cupcake as Nikko is Porker's unkie!

Nom nom meat!!!!!!

Mom and dad just got back from shopping. They first went to NM as mom needed to get some Kiehls face products and hair stuff. Mom had updated her status on FB and Simba's mom and my mom again meowed how they need to get together and get their shopping on!

Then mom was off to Best Buy w/ daddy. They checked out the Wii Mario Cart game (cool) but came home w/ some dvd's. Mom will order the system on amazon since the Wii fit was sold out.

Then they went to my 2nd favorite place, Mr. Grocery store! My pawrents only go once a month but went a week early because they had cold cuts on sale! So they bought some YUMMMY Cod, tons of cheese and meats, Cheese Herb Steak Flanks, and some other yummy meats! When they got home, we all got some of the turkey cold cuts and a tiny piece of raw cod. We loveeeeeeeeee cod!

So nom nom nom to that! That hairy looking beast that is purrusing around catster is scary... He looks familiar but yet so... dangerous!

Spiffy in blue!!!

Holy cats! I got a huge surprise in the mail!!

Mom and dad were gone all afternoon 'cause dad actually had a day off! So they went to see Shopaholic in the movie theater! It was pretty good they said!

When they got home there was a package for me! It came from KY so naturally Calvin came to mind!

I helped mom sniff it and watched while she opened it. Inside I saw a card and there was a message... It was from *PANSY* !!! What a total surprise!!

Inside I got the COOLEST blue necktie from the *CAT IN THE CLOVER* line! I'd like to add that it fit PURRFECTLY! Everyone knows I have an um... wide neck :) What a huge surprise!! Thank you so much Pansy for making my weekend!! And Thank you Calvin and Cat in the Clover for making such pawsome cat accessories!!!!

Total Gym

So mom got her total gym last night and appawrently mom and dad are a bit sore today! Mom is doing some research on some of the games you all suggested, and will be ordering that this weekend.

She wants to tone up her non-muscular arms and mid section. Bottom half is good (she has no hips she says), but the upper body is so weak.

I think having her use that wii controller outta help!

I also think she should take up my offer of eating the bananas Boogazan has been spotted carrying! That monster looks pretty scary! He looks friendly but I don't know... Watch out friends!

I'm going to feel the burn...

Not really but it's the thought that counts! Hondo had written about the Wii system as mom was thinking of ordering that, and the Wii fit program. Obviously I was against these two things because that would involve working out. My work out consists of eating less and getting more lovies!

So mom is sold on it and will order it next month so she has something to do while her eyes rest up as she's set to get round two (touchup) of Entropion surgery but this time in her lower right lid. The left eye "took" but the right one, while better, kneads a tweak.

There was some debate going on in our house as dad wanted the Total Gym and mom said, "Ugh, too big and bulky, cats will scratch it!" Oh so true!!! But Dad insisted he kneaded a workout toy so they both won.

I however will just continue my diet regimen!

Boogazan of the Jungle?!

Some kitty just gave me a tip to let me know Pansy has changed her page up! In fact, there's a picture of the allusive Boogazan of the Jungle!!! Why, what a handsome cat if I do say so!!

Hope everyone has a great 3 day weekend!

Time to have a meow with Boogazan of the Jungle... Those bananas look scrumptious!

TLC What not to wear...

Ooooooo mom just got done getting her teeth whitened, fitted for a night guard (she grinds her teeth), and a haircut!

Mom learned her new hairstylist was trained by Nick from TLC What Not to Wear!! You know, the guy who cuts their hair! It was a treat for mom to hear stories about how humble he is. I guess mom's stylist Henry is going up to NYC in a month or two to get more tips from him. Mom's hair is ROCKIN! She never EVER had this great of a haircut!!! Mom now understands why those fancy places' premium are what they are. So worth paying a lot extra for an amazing cut!

I wonder if mom will pose w/ me and post a pic???? I know she will on facebook this weekend.

Ok mom has to teach in a few...

Oh dear...

Mom and I both thought I was getting thinner! I am "easier" to lift but I just got weighed... Brace yourself. I am 19.1 pounds :(

I think it was all that Cheese Whiz I ate w/ Pansy?

It's nice out so I might go for a stroll! It's 60 OUT!!! Last week it was 15!! Crazy! So maybe the stroll will help me loose a few ounces?

Mom is about to hit the elliptical. I will watch her instead :)

EVIL taxes!!!

So we saw the catster add for tax slayer. One of mom's friend recommended that so we tried it earlier today... Clearly we did something wrong as our federal return was only $114! I don't think so!!

So mom sent dad to get Turbo Tax like we always use. I think we got a corrupt cd :( We can't install it!! We've been using this for years. Now granted, we're using a different computer w/ different virus program... We tried adding ports, installing a patch for the pack 2 w/ 1 something or another and NOTHING! After 2 hours of being on HOLD with turbo tax? We gave up!

Ughh! It's as if the tax dudes don't want us to pay taxes??? They're trying to rob me of treats! I KNEW IT!!!

I am planning another outting w/ my Valentine this weekend. Mom kneads to unwind as she spent 4 hours trying to get the softwear to work :( Dad's going to exchange/get his $ back (HOPEFULLY). EVIL TAX STUFF!!

Happy Birthday Aspen!!!

One of our besties is 4 years young today! *ASPEN* is another year old and looking great! There's an all day party *HERE* that his wonderful girlfriend is throwing for him!!!

Did someone say... FOOD?!?! I'm soooooooooo there! The theme is Winnie the Pooh!!!

Also Happy 6th Wedding Anniversary to my pawrents!!

Can you believe it?

I, Boogers, am Pansy's Valentine? Her Robert is one of our besties and they had told us their whereabouts and why he wouldn't be around for Vday. So the pressure was indeed on to treat her well!

And so far I've done good! I took her out to a Cheesewhiz restaurant and I will admit, the Whiz is pretty dang good :)

Tomorrow is Aspen's Birthday and mom and dad's 6th wedding annifurrsary! They'll probably go out to dinner. I wonder if we'll run into them?!?! MOL

Dad's car battery is dead, so he's waiting for the auto shop to open. We're also thinking Porkers is getting a kitty cold so he might go into the vet today (depending what vet's are there). He just started sneezing. If we have to, we'll wait a day to bring him in to see Dr. Carskaddan!

Cavities and another Entropion Surgery!

*yawn* Mom just got back from getting her first cavities filled (2). She said she wasn't nervous as she likes our dentist, but the entire time (about an hour!) she was shaking! Almost like shivering... So she must have been nervous?

All went well. When he was drilling the top tooth, mom felt a TINY sensation and said, "MSLFSDKLFSDMPPPP" and he stopped and gave her MORE Novocain :) Mom now can't feel the right side of her face and can't talk right MOL!

Earlier at 8:45 AM mom had a 3-4 month followup from her Entropion surgery. Her right lower lid needs some tweaking so she will hopefully be setting up the surgery for early March. She's hoping she won't need to get medically cleared again w/ her fam doc but we'll know tomorrow when we talk to the scheduling lady. *sigh* Mom's not looking forward to this considering her incision scars just started to heal... At least her left eye is purrfect!

Ahi tuna with Tiger Prawns in Tuna- Consomme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*faints, fans self* THIS IS DELISH!!!!!!! Murray in NY sent us some samples (see the 3rd diary on my page) and HOLY CATS! IT IS the cat's meow!!!!

BOOGIE LOVE!! Actually everyone except PorkChop loved it! (Porkers is the PICKIEST eater--he pretty much only eats Dry like his daddy Monte and late half bro, Picasso).

And I will be trying the Salmon tomorrow!! OH YUMMERS! 5 paws up!!! Murray dude, you're right! THE PRAWNS ARE HUGEEEEEEEEE!!

I will even share with my date for Vday Pansy! (Read diary below)

I'm honored!!

What an honor to take my bestest Pansy out for Vday!! Her dear Robert has a lot going on and can't make Vday so I had mentioned to Pansy that I would be honored to step in for Robert and make sure she had a pawsome Vday! That's what besties are for!

Now, I know what you're all thinking... "...But SHE can't be trusted! YOU can't be trusted Boogie!" Have no fear! Trust me, it wasn't THAT easy to purrrsway her!!! I had to *PROVE* to her I was serious!! Alas, I did and here is her *RESPONSE*

PS We had a good giggle at her 3 facial expressions hehe!

NEW Tiki!!!!!!!!

*starts to salivate, almost starts to foam at the mouth* HOLY CATS! My buddy Murray in NY (the one Pansy teases MOL) told me about this NEW Tiki!

NO it's not the cod awful Chicken Tiki! That wasn't good! Bummer 'cause it looked good :)

Behold... Wild Salmon in Salmon Consomme and Ahi tuna with Tiger Prawns in Tuna Consomme!!!!!!!!!!! Murray said the Tiger Prawns are HUGE!! OH BOY OH BOY!!! This should be as good as the green cans (Forgot the name, I just know my colors).

Eeeeeee! I can't wait to sink my teeth into this tomorrow morning! We already had our moist for the day and I AM still trying to loose weight... He also sent cans of Solid Gold (purple cans) and some dry Evo! The only place we knew where to buy Evo was called "Foxmill Pets" and unfortunately, they're going out of business :( They sold the Chicken Soup stuff too...

Thanks dude!!! *tries to ignore rumbly tumbly* I better get back to Tessa's party! There's food there!

Glad Colleen is doing better!

My friend *COLLEEN* kneads a few purrs but I'm happy to report she is on the mend. I'm sure she'll update you as she got back from the vet earlier this evening and wrote us on FB with updates. I bet that was scary for her mom!!

Well we didn't watch the football game. Mom was busy finding something for dad that he left at home and then she did some stuff online. I hope something exciting happens on Catster!

It's been so quiet! Luckily we're able to keep in touch w/ friends on FB as it seems a lot of our friends are spending more time there than here!!

Time to work on... Something...

Did someone say Birthday Party?!?!

Since I didn't like the wellness I could go for some FOOD!!

Mittens just got done setting up a Bday party thread for his girlfriend *TESSA* who turns 3 years old February 2nd!!

There's an all day party *HERE* February 2nd and EVERYONE is invited!!!

The theme is the Tasmanian Devil! Mittens says she's a wild one!!! MOL Hope you have a pawsome birthday!!!!!!!!

Figures...

Leave it to only SELECTIVE cats for liking Wellness chicken and herring... So yesterday I tried the can Pansy sent along w/ my brothers. ONLY the raggies ate that, the rest of us said "NO WAY! There's a Pansy sticker on the can, it can't be safe!" Porkers devoured it to our surprise! HE NEVER eats moist!!! He's a dry food cat!!!

So mom put the rest in the fridge for the raggies... FIGURES!

Ok, I gotta get off the computer! Mittens has to plan his girlfriend's birthday for tomorrow. Dad just left for work and mom isn't watching the bowl--she likes the Packers if she HAS to watch football.

Although, last night's UFC Pay Preview game was pawsome!! GSP (another Canadian) defended his title!!

Me Stinkies? Why YES! I STINKIES!!

Normally I'd consider retaliating against Pansy for such an insult, but her gift of "Stinkies" is a good thing! In fact, I'm proud to be a Stinkies!!! You see I just got a package from my bestest Pansy!!!

I received a very pretty card from her for vday. I was a bit cautious to open the others as there were Pansy stickers on the items, but mom said it was safe. Dad signed for the package and he wasn't sure if it was safe so he had to wait for mom to get home MOL (You saw Pansy hovering over Fido and daddy no?). I got the hugest bag (no HUGE) of one of my favorites "Chicken Temptations". ALL MINE! BACK OFF! And I can of Wellness Chicken & Herring (never had this!) and a spiffy Eeeks toy (pink mousie--Hondo is so jealous) MOL

Thanks so much Pansy!!! I'm finishing up something for you (no it's not a bomb) so be on the lookout. And no, I'm not sending Bob :) Thought about it, but that would take away from my food allowance!! hehe

*hugs* Off to the meowathon in 15 minutes!

Neverending...

*sigh* Just when I thought things couldn't get worse... First mom put me in my Vday outfit... You'll notice it's ummmm a bit snug... Strike one... Then I got news that Pansy is no longer being held and has been released from jail! The verdict?! NOT GUILTY because lack of witnesses! *gasp* I KNOW RIGHT?! Strike two... What next?!?!

I'll knead to regroup and gather my thoughts this weekend...

In the meantime, my buddy Murray in NY is being framed too! Something about how he ruined this heart doorknob deco of his mom's! I already pawmailed him saying this incident happened when Pansy was RELEASED from jail... Coincidence? I don't know! I will get to the bottom of it after I get my muscular bod out of this outfit. I must save him 'cause he's going to send me this new tiki! SWEET!!!

Catster is safe...

*kicks back with a Catmo on SOLID GROUND*

I just received a gracious pawmail from none other than the raggie brothers Nikko and Scooter! I'm so thankful I have returned their mom to a happy and SAFE place, aka spa...

She looks at peace, relaxed, on the mend while recovering from her injuries which were the result of her only wanting to groom Pansy. Seriously, free grooming in these tough times? C'mon!!!

Boogacop to the rescue :) And look! Lil' Nikkocrabs and Scootercrabs too! And hark!?! *rubs eyes* Robertcrabs too!! Why *LOOK*

Not mission accomplished!

Grrrrrrr I'm going to make sure Pansy pays for what she did! Nikko and Scooter are like family and what does she do? She turns them against me! Right now my raggie bros are the least bit happy as Nikko and Scooter probably won't be playing with them for the unforeseeable future since I'm in the picture... Framed mind you...

I'm going to plan an attack... So much for my plan of doing harm to Pansy's mom and Sully... That will come later... But right now, more pressing issues are at stake. And it starts with the letter "P" and involves a cat we all know! MWHAHAHAHA

Survey

My buddies NBK, Andre and Gnomey's mom is a Penn State Grad student. I saw Hazel Lucy's diary and that reminded me that I was going to post the survey in my diary. I got sidetracked after posting in groups 'cause Pansy is plotting, but that's a different diary...

I believe the mom said this survey is approved as I know she emailed HQ. Assuming HQ got back to her 'cause they "read every pawmail", this survey takes 3 min tops so help her with her studies as it's focusing on Catster!

*SURVEY*

Don't make me sit on you! Ok, time for a nap. My humans are tired... Plus I'm frustrated as Pansy is trying to get the Raggie twins Nikko and Scooter on HER side! *gasp*

I've been framed!!

*gasp* I told you Catsters, Pansy is 110% EVIL! Why look at my 5th picture! Would, I, Boogers, EVER do such a thing??? Nikko, Scooter and their mom are MY FRIENDS!!! Heck, if Nikko's mom wants to furminate me? GO AHEAD! I loveeeeeeeeeeee it!!

But surely I wouldn't whisk their mom away for tonight's Luau would I? NO WAY!! I like Nikko's mom!!!

I'm getting set up! I've been framed! Pansy MUST be stopped!!!

Foiled!!!

Grrrrrr just when I thought the Boogshark could get revenge on Pansy for harming Nikko and Scooters mom? She went Boogshark huntin' and caught and mounted *THIS*

Have no fear Catsters! I shall save you with the help of Nikko and Scooter... We are closing in on Pansy's *MOM AND SULLY*

And yes, you SHOULD be scared... Your Robert can't save you this time!

Uncoralling me?

*sniffs* I noticed the same cat recently uncorralled me AGAIN (Was at 114, now 113). I notice these things... I'm blaming the sharks.... And I'm blaming the evil Pansy :)

Maybe I stink? Well, Pansy did say I stunkied but that was because my brother Fido complained about me...

Watch out!

Booksharks are about to become extinct! Oh dear... Someone leaked to the EVIL one that I had found her location of paradise. I don't know who told her!! I only told one person!

Mom has been sick all day with a mild case of food poisoning... I have taken the liberty to take care of her while daddy slept MOL

A few friends asked us if we were going to the Inauguration in DC. Although we live 10 miles from the capital, my pawrents were never planning to attend. Too cold and dad works tomorrow evening. Some of his co-workers were working the event and their day started at 1AM and they won't get out until tomorrow (probably after midnight). Dad thinks they will be calling out tomorrow since they worked 24 hours straight in the cold. Don't blame them!

Has anyone noticed??? **UPDATED**

I noticed that when you post in groups or on the forums as of late, there's a big old advertisement above posts. I don't remember it ever being like this until last Friday maybe? I remember posting in the HP group and there was never an add between members' posts making a big gap. Weird...

I'll worry about this later once I return from Pansy's secret hiding spot. I'm sure Nikko and Scooter will be joining me soon :)

--

UPDATED: MOL!!!!!! Ohhhhhh I didn't know HQ had discussed these green adds! MOL We really don't do much on the "forum" part of catster, rather just stick to diaries, corrals, and the HP group. I think we've done maybe 10 replies/topics in the Forum section in almost 3 years on catster!!!!

So the explanation is *HERE* MOL thanks Pansy!! See what happens when you eat all day? You snooze? You loose! (Unfortunately not pounds)

You can run but you can't hide...

I see that Robert has found where Pansy is vacationing... Well, my sources told me their destination whereabouts... And I found them! MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sure is nice and toasty here! I think my first mission is to save Nikko and Scooters' mom!!! My dad is safe back home in VA!!

After reading Eve's *DIARY* I wrote her to say that I think it's best to concentrate on their adoption as I can only imagine how time consuming that is! Mom is adopted and knows how much of a taxing process it is to get all the legal stuff and paperwork situated. I can't wait to hear who the lucky baby will be to have a loving home! She hasn't been on catster much as mentioned in her diary as it is a long process to adopt. So I wrote her today and we're both in agreement considering the current events, it's best we be furever friends. I didn't like how it made her feel bad she wasn't around much even though I kept reassuring her it's fine and no need to apologize. Besides we haven't been on catster much other than to torment Pansy and do diaries and the HP group. I will ALWAYS love my Evie Eve! I'm thankful we'll remain best friends and she is still very special to me :)

Hopefully the weather will warm up! It won't make things at the Inauguration this Tuesday easy if the weather continues w/ this cold Canadian snap. Hmmmm Pansy is from CAN and is vacationing in the WARM weather... I bet you SHE is to blame!!!

MY EARS!!!!! OWWW!!!!!! FIRETRUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, all is fine now the firetrucks just left!! Holy Cats! Mom and dad were sleeping as dad just got off nights and arrived home at 7:20 AM today. At about 1PM they were woken by the smoke alarms!

There was NO smoke so we figured the alarm got "stuck" or something? So dad tried to dismantle it but couldn't get the battery out!

So he went to the leasing office. Mom wanted to shield our ears (and thankfully we were all in the bedroom w/ them), so she put some of us in the bathroom (Hondo, Mittens and Tiskers were under the bed).

Then the firetrucks came! MOM PANICKED!! She grabbed the two large crates, and stuffed 3 in. Hondo was a PAIN IN THE TAIL as he wouldn't come under from the bed! We got him though and then ran outside... All 6 of us safe.

Apparently the guy kitty corner from us? His pipe froze and water started to flood. His smoke alarms went off like the rest of our neighbors (6 tenants) and since it was under HIS place? The sprinklers went off!!! OH NO!!! Think of all the damage!!!!

All is ok but wow, that was some fire drill!!! Mom's biggest fear is that they're gone and the firedudes come and OPEN the door (for a real fire or something) and we all run away :( We're all ID chipped but STILL!!!

Ok, mom is WIDE AWAKE NOW!!! 4.5 hours of sleep and SHE IS WIDEEEEEEEEEE AWAKE!!!!!!!!!

Threats are hitting close to home... Literally!!!

First off, I'd like to thank those who sent us info on what goes on with fillings for cavities! Mom has one on the top right, and one on the bottom right. It's about time she got a cavity! She and dad go through a LOT of diet soda... Like so much I won't tell you guys in my diary! (it's a LOT).

Dad has had maybe two fillings in his life so they must have a lot of enamel or something...

Anymeow, I see Fido got a threatening picture... The Pansy threats have started again... Catsters beware! I think Newman must have scared Pansy or something as I haven't caught wind of Calvin kneaded help (phew). I'm THIS close to tracking down Pansy on her island... Enjoy it while you can :)

Not only is Fido in danger, my daddy is too!! All because of something he said, which I repeated to Pansy. It was innocent! It was prompted by this crazy COLD COLD weather!

At the bank the weather prompter thingie said 10 F, so that must mean like -20 C? And well, dad said something like, "Maybe Boogie should lock Pansy outside in the cold" and I have such good hearing I heard them! Well mom told me actually... But STILL! The injustice!!!

Cavities!!!!

Oh dear! Mom got back from the Dentist and she was told she has 2 small cavities! Mom never had one in her 30 years so she's wondering, "Does the needle hurt?!?!" Also mom has to get some sort of cap on a molar due to her grinding her teeth.

She also was told her grinding has gotten worse near her back teeth so Feb 3 she's getting fit for a mouth/teeth guard for nighttime and possibly a permanent bottom retainer (inside) as her teeth on the bottom seem to be moving outward! She figures Delta pays for 50% of the retainer, 60% for the teeth guard. Might as well take advantage of the insurance as this past year mom has kept them busy with all her medical stuff!

Even dad has to get oral surgery! He has 5 wisdom teeth! FIVE! Auntie Barbi (Picasso's mom) said she had 6 and mom was like "HUH!?!?" but apparently you don't just have 4 in some cases. The dentist said that he had two people come in this week with FIVE wisdom teeth! Does that mean dad is extra smart?

So let me know if the Novocaine shot hurts for cavities. Mom's never had a shot there!

Happy 3rd Birthday Fido!!!

Our brother Fido is turning 3 on January 15, 2009 (2009 NOT 2008 like his banner says MOL)

All day party *HERE* thanks to his lovely wife Allie!!! What a great party! Twilight theme!!

Mom will be gone from 6-8pm EST as she has to teach a few lessons but otherwise it's an all day party!

Please come or I'll sit on you!!! :) MWHAHAHAHA Happy Birthday dude!

Man, we have a lot to catch up on! Mom and dad were painting for 8 hours and mom is exhausted but said she'd do our diaries first! She said she had NO IDEA how much time and effort it took to paint! Daddy did the high parts and mom said she's beyond sore...

I have a stalker!

Eeep! Well, I think this cat must belong to the detective agency on Catster as this same cat knows what mom's blog http is. You see, mom had created one over a year ago and forgot about it until recently.

She figured she'd use it to do test runs on coding which would help her with the stuff on dad's site. Well, some cat let us know they found mom's page!!!

But wait! It gets worse!! This cat also did a not-so-annonymousie comment. I think the bit about how the background would be spiffy if it was red with black polka dots... Hmmmmmmm

I'm not going to disclose WHO gave me that tails up... I must stay on this cat's GOOD side as they are NOT affiliated with the cat who gave Pansy a red rose saying they're on HER side!!! *eeep*

Don't worry, me and the annonymousie cat will come up with a game plan... Mark my words!

A new cat!

Noooooooo not in our family but *THIS FAMILY*

WOW! How pawsome is that?! We've been reading about this cat for almost a half a year and we just got a friend invite and were excited to see the face behind the invite!

Concats Sammie and KiKi!!!

Famous words...

Seriously, next time I say, "Come or I'll sit on you" I mean it!! I often say to my friends "Don't make me sit on you!!!" and unfortunately (or fortunately) Pansy got to experience it first hand!! I do sit on my siblings but you should see Tiskers! HE ALWAYS sits on us! ALWAYS!!!

Like I'll be sleeping or getting petted by mom and Tiskers will walk over to me, and SIT down on me... It's as if he doesn't SEE me?!? Not sure how he can miss 18 pounds of muscle!!!

I'm thinking Pansy wishes Tiskers sat on her as he's 5 pounds lighter than me :)

Maybe she learned her lesson!! :)

Conspiracy!

Evil, 110% EVIL!!! I think I was set up by my vet and brother!! Word is that I have a stinky bum and NOT Fido!!!

Says who?!?!

Let's back up a bit... I had a vet appointment a few days ago and had something back there expressed. I wasn't scootin' or anything but mom said on one of our beds where me and Fido were chillaxin' there was a smelly SMELL that mom recognized. Well since Fido was due for his annual he too had something expressed today at the vet. The verdict according to my vet and brother Fido was that I was "full" and Fido was "ave".

Well duh! I'm always full of food! Fido will forever be 13 pounds, so yeah, he's average! Yet I caught wind (no pun) of *THIS* picture! I would remember posing for such picture, and I don't! So that means someone is spying on me!!! Hisssssss

And the HP madness continues...

*wipes off dust from the Pansy doll that up until now, NO ONE knew I had*

Mom is a huge fan of Sotheby's catalogs. We don't necessarily collect them, but they're nice coffee table books and are cool to look at! Mom's friend got her hooked on them :)

Well we had ordered one on ebay, "The Tales of Beetle the Bard". You know, the auction for the 7 originals that sold for millions? So mom is very happy about this find. The catalog is in pristine condition and mom is ecstatic!

*Boogie makes room and removes the Pansy doll for this catalog*

Pansy Doll?

MOL!!!!!!!! Mom just recovered from laughing after seeing the Pansy doll in our HP shelf MOL!!!! Now THAT is meowlarious!!!!!!!! Check *THIS* out MOL!!!

Harry Potter Shrine!!!

Man, mom and dad went to bed around 5AM last night as they were putting up mom's new shelf. Earlier that day I had of course had a VET appointment and then mom and dad went shopping for the office. They finished day two of cleaning 7 hours later! YEAH it was a longggggggg day!

On the way home they got dinner (can you guess? It starts with S) and then they went to work with the shelf. It took a while as the directions of course, weren't so great. It's super heavy too! Both boxes combined weighed in at 150 pounds!

So alas, it's all put together. Our floor must be uneven as when dad shifted his weight a certain way BOTH doors were perfect, but when he walked away, it didn't quite stay as well shut (magnet). The floor is uneven as we removed the old bookcases which of course put a small carpet indentation on the floor. Once that goes away, we should be good to go. Behold, here's our HP *COLLECTION* . TOLD you we take HP seriously (there's some Twilight books too in the mix)

PS we also manged to ding the wood a bit MOL it was HEAVY! Oh well, a little patina never hurt anyone...

I love my VET! But not the tech! MOL

So I'm back from the Vet!! Since Dr. Swartz has left and retired, we've been going to Dr. Colvin but with the ragdoll twins we decided to try the other male Vet as at the time, Dr. Colvin wasn't available the day we could see him. Dr. Carskaddan is the main Vet who took over for Dr. Swartz so we figured all would be good.

Well we really REALLY like Dr. Carskaddan so he'll be our new main vet :) I like him 'cause he said I'm just a BIG BOY!!! (No word of FAT!) and he said he can't force me to loose weight 'cause he'd be a hypocrite as his own cat is 22 pounds (more than me!!)

Now the reason why I wasn't too happy with the Vet Tech? *embarrassed* I ummm had something expressed *points back there* Fido goes to the Vet this Friday for his annual and he TOO will get something expressed :) Mom wasn't sure if it was me or Fido who had the stinky bum as she's familiar with the "smell" but while mine were full, we KNOW Fido kneads his done :)

YAY for Dr. Carskaddan!!!!

Calvin, if you're reading? RUN!!!!

Seriously!! RUN!! Pansy caught wind of your mom wanting to make a new snuggle sack ala BobbyBlue Ox print! You are in big trouble mister!!!

*gets a head start and RUNS*

Seriously folks, we can't make this stuff up! I got an annoymousie rosette with evidence of the above transaction!

FedEx 2nd try...

Looks like our glass bookshelf is coming tomorrow! The lady was right in that the status would be reflected once the item was on the train/cargo. Problem is now, ironically, my rescheduled vet appointment is tomorrow. So funny how the bookcase is supposed to arrive the day of my Vet appointment!

Mom was supposed to go and clean the office but that'll have to be postponed until the bookcase comes! Good thing dad's off work for the next 2 days so he can help mom put it together. I plan to along with Hondo and my bros to "help" if you know what I meow :)

BTW? The big bad Pansy tree doesn't scare me ONE bit! I think Robert looks handsome in my favorite color blue! Don't you?

*smiles*

*giggles uncontrollably, smirks, smiles, laughs to himself* Sooooo what do you get when you give an unexpected, innocent Ox some blue dye?? Hmmmmmmm Give up??? Well, why don't you ask my cohort *BOBBYBLUE THE OX*

MOL!!!!!!!!!!

Tiki falling into my mouth!!!

Ooooooo with my new background, sometimes the tiki cans hit jusssssst right and fall into my mouth!! *nom nom* Folks, it doesn't get any better than this!!!

Off to my Meowathon in 10 minutes!!!

EDIT: Dang, my banner is NOT clear on IE, but on Firefox it is... Wonder why the PNG format doesn't work with IE? EVIL!!! On IE it's white with blue lettering, hisssssssss...

EDIT part deux: I guess I have an old version of IE and on the IE 7.0 it's transparent.

New Year, New background layout!

WOOT! After seeing PJ's pawsome page, mom noticed there were a LOT LESS things to incorporate into one's background page! So before we consulted PJ, we tried it ourselves. Sure enough, it worked!! Titch and Mago were our guinea pigs, but then mom went back to the group and remembered the ratio. So then it was off to make Ele' a page and that was even easier than doing Mago's and Titch's!

So YAY for easy backgrounds! You only knead the background and banner! SO much faster! Mom always forgets about PNG (to make things clear) in Photoshop/PSP. I plan to do the new layout on my page later this month! PAWSOME!

Time to make mom lunch. I'm starving!

Went to the VET, but didn't SEE the VET! HISSSSSSSS!!!!

HISSSSSSSS!! Mom was NOT happy nor was I!!! I had a VET appointment today at 3pm EST for my annual as my shots are all up to date. We've told the receptionists many times, "We do NOT want to see the female vets, just the two males!"

So we drive there and I cried the whole way. When we arrived we said we were here for Dr. Carskaddan.

"...I'm sorry but we have you down for Dr. Moore"

Excuse me??? We were just there last week as the Twins got their annual and 3 year rabies! We told them, "WE ONLY WANT Dr. Carskaddan OR Dr. Colvin".

HISSSSSSSSSS So off I went BACK home, crying again. Mom threw a fit of course but Dad took care of it, so I will see them NEXT Monday *assuming*. I don't like when people can't do their job right...

*stomps off and ignores parents for taking me to the VET* The only good that came from today was that our HP book from the UK came today…

Grrrr shipping...

So Hondo mentioned we were supposed to get a heavy package today (150+ pounds) and it said the following under tracking:

Ship date
Dec 30, 2008

Estimated delivery
Jan 2, 2009


Now, Estimated could mean today or tomorrow (usually what it means), so mom called FedEx asking about it as she figured dad would be nice and help the lady delivery person bring up the package to our place (past few months it's always been a petite lady, I don't know if she can lift 150+ pounds up 3 flights?)

Apparently FedEx had no recollection of this package being shipped! HISSSSSSSSSSS So mom called the company and spoke with a woman who talked about 10 words per minute (TALKED) after a 10 min call I guess it went on a large freight truck, and when it finally gets to VA, then the records would be updated, yada yada, so it could take 7-10 days.

Ok, got it... But why then say Estimated DELIVERY for today? Have they changed terminology in regards to when a package is to be delivered? I thought Delivery meant DELIVERED or attempt not "in transit". Did I miss something? Maybe I had too much tiki on New Years...

Happy New Years!!!

Gosh, in about 6 hours it will be 2009 on the East Coast. As many of you have guessed, my resolution is to loose a whole pound. I'm going to be a lean, mean, Boogie machine!

Mom got a workout today on my behalf. I figure if she's working, and I'm thinking of her, then I am also getting a workout!

She spent 5 hours cleaning up the union office for Dad's work. It was a disaster. Mom had gone shopping the other day to buy tons of cleaning supplies, office organizer stuff, etc.,

She was there for 5 hours and she got everything done! She'll go back Monday to vacuum and deep clean the carpets. A lil' extra cash never hurt anyone!

Maybe she'll use the $ to buy me tons of food! Oh wait... I'm on a diet...

Anyway off to prepare for New Years! We never stay up for the ball but maybe we will this time as dad is on nights in Jan and has to get his sleep schedule set. Hazel Lucy helped us ring in the New Year as we received a pretty postcard from her!

Have a safe New Years everyone!!!

My weather lady IS NOT lying for once!!

WOAH! It's 68-70 degrees outside! To think, last week it was 15 at one point!

Dad's working out on the elliptical while I watch :) I refuse to start my diet until Jan 1, 2009!!

Mom was cleaning and realized she didn't have HP Deathly Hallow's book, UK version, paperback!! So she just ordered that. We're going through HP withdrawal I think... Movie 6 will be out fall 2009 as it was delayed a year :( Good thing we got into Twilight!! It's a short series (4 books) which we've finished... So now we're going through HP AND Twilight withdrawal. Woe is me...

Super happy to hear Jeter Harris is back! He was missing for a while :(

And I feel Reebok's pain!! I also pee big but nothing has ever come back wrong. Let's face it... Me and Reebok are big dudes! Just like Snowmitts and Sawyer dude! I will see the Vet soon and I hope I'm not told I'm "fat". My old Vet Dr. Swartz (retired) NEVER said I was fat :) So kneadless to say I'm dreading Jan 2 as that's when I see the Vet, but I'm on a diet starting Jan 1, so the Vet SHOULD be proud of me for being proactive!!

I'm taking Smudge's advice!

Boxing? Run? I'm so taking *SMUDGE'S* advice!

She has already warned me that I should be boxing and running to get into shape! And thanks to the suave workout gear from Pansy, I can!! I know, every year I make a resolution to loose a pound or two... I was successful 2 years ago on a meow mix diet as we were told by many catsters that moist fills you up fast! Unfortunately after week 3 I got what Orca coined, "Fire bum". *blush* So I did in fact gain the pound and a few ounces back to my current weight :(

But while I haven't lost anything? I've been at least stable give or take a few fluctuating ounces on the scale. I vow never to get back at my heaviest, 19 pounds! So my goal is to trim down to 17 ish pounds, ideally 17.1 so that I loose a WHOLE pound.

Who's with me on feelin' the burn!!!! I changed my music selection to pawsome and inspurrrational workout tunes!

*PS Calvin is in BIG TROUBLE! BIG! HUGE!! I read what he said!!!*
PPS Thanks Skeezix for the cute Catmas card!

SEE! I was GOOD this Catmas!

*phew* Justice has been served!!! All along cats kept thinking I stole Pansy's lamb!!! I admit, it seemed like something I was capable of... But did you listen to a certain voki message on my page?

*coughSOMECATNAMEDCALVIN* mentioned that he wants to see more fights between me and Pansy! Behold... PROOF that he did in fact steal her lamb, and then had his mom make a pretty lamb blanket which Nikko and Scooter bought. The $ of course went to Calvin, so win win for him!!

And look! Pansy seems to *AGREE* too!!!

Anymeow, like I said, I was good :) Santa paws and my pawrents (totally two DIFFERENT people!!!!!!!!) gave us a big box of Meow Mix "Wholesome Goodness" seafood pack and a sage thermal bed that plugs into the wall! Skeezix's Catster blog had a list of gifts that were cool! Since I knew a catpost was outta the question, I went to the next best thing! And it was so kneaded as Hondo sorta ruined ours when he had that bad UTI back in the summer... YAY! THANK YOU SANTA PAWS!

Meowy Catmas friends! Eve!! *waves* Love you!!!

PS Thanks Hunter for my bday cupcake!

Turning 5 was great!!!

Again I'd like to thank everyone for making my 5th bday so special!!! Pansy threw me a great party! I was super excited when Eve stopped by! Her mom had a faculty party. I had suggested that I stroll over and bring her to my place, but I don't think her pawrents would have been too happy... Plus the North East is getting hammered with snow/ice :(

I'm hoping Santa saw my effort on making good with Pansy. I swear I didn't have ulterior motives!!! *grins*

Mom said the box from the "Amazon" is for us but we must wait till tomorrow to open it! I wonder what it is!

I wanted to wish everyone a Meowy Catmas!! We'll be spending ours with mom as dad works today, and tomorrow. We'll probably have a movie-a-thon and pawmiss to keep her company :)

*bonks*

PS Thanks Baby-G and family for my cupcake! And again, Concats to Sammie for his 16th year anniversary with his mommy!!!! Thanks to Gimli for my Catmas card with COOL HK stickers!!!

Did you know???

It's my bday today? MOL I know, kidding, of course you know :) But did you know 126 cats on catster also have a birthday today? Yup! That's what the Birthday stroll from HQ said!

I hope I don't leave anyone out as that is not my intention, but before mom finishes up things around the house, I wanted to thank everyone again who stopped by my party, left me messages via pawmail/voki/shoutbox, and gifties! I just received a surprise package from Miles and family! Brace yourselves... I got a case of green Tiki cat and 2 cans of Kaviar! Good thing I'm planning on loosing a pound this New Years! After eating all this food I'll probably become extra muscular!

I did get a can ALL to myself for breakfast! Mom bought me a can of Meow Mix "Wholesome Goodness" Salmon & Tuna Cuisine! All for me! She figured after 3 bdays of me NOT liking cupcakes, to get me food :) I hope tomorrow to find time to check out my virtual gifts too!!

I am officially 5 years old on the East Coast!

Ooooo!! 4 years ago today, I was adopted from Fancy Cats and the rest is history!! I was believed to be just shy of 1 year old, so because I was adopted Dec 23, 2004 that was my bday and gotcha day :)

I have to check in my party as I was told by my brothers NOT to step paw in there until it was midnight :)

Mom and dad got up not too long ago from a nap... You see, mom had a CT scan today and then they did errands, and took a nap from uh.... 3pm-9ish PM!!! So yeahhhhhh their sleep will be off for a while :)

The stuff they injected mom dehydrated her a bit so she's been drinking fluids and took a nap as she felt a bit off. But no biggie!

Thanks to everyone for starting my birthday so far!!! Margo sent me a cake, RA a cupcake, Sawyer a cupcake, Miles a cupcake, Hazel Lucy cupcake, Spot dude a bday hat, Nikko and Scooter a bday hat, Diego and LuLu cupcake!

Also I just now saw all my friends who rang in my bday party!! WOOT!!! Food, cake, HP madness for everyone!!!

A HUGE thank you goes to Pansy for throwing me a bday party!! *tears up* Eve would have but her mom is crazy busy and has a faculty party tonight. I thought of catnappin' my wife and bringing her here MOL

I hear there's a party?!?!!? and check out my Bday- blanket!!!

My bestest is throwing me a 5th bday party!!! I'm told it's located *HERE* but that I am NOT to set paw into the party until Tuesday Dec 23, 2008 as that's officially my bday!!!

The theme is Harry Potter and Tiki of course!!! I made sure I fasted all day so I could build up a HUGE appetite :)

Today we got a huge package from Snowmitts and family! Inside were our catmas gifts and I got a very nice bday gift!

I received the SOFTEST EVER blue blanket with various sports balls on it! It's INCREDIBLY soft! I also got a pink package of Tuna flavored Pounce treats! I KNOW Snowmitts picked those out himself :)

We also got some cool Catmas toys!: A cute stocking with Monte on the front and a candy cane inside, some cat food for Porkers, 2 holiday balls and a white festive mousie, a reindeer catnip filled toy, and a Santa paws play wand!! They also sent mom a YUMMY Yankee *sugar plum* which is one of mom's FAVORITE scents! Also she got two pairs of warm sockies (one has a cute cat on them) MOL!! Thank you so much guys!! We also got a nice picture card of Cannoli and Picasso in the mail :)

Speaking of cards, we also got a handsome picture card of Sammie and KiKi, a really pretty home made card from Remus and family, and Chrissy in NJ sent us a card WITH some of her cat furr inside!! MOL!! Thanks guys!!

Party over here, Party December 23!!!!!!!!!

Yup! MY Party 'cause I turn 5 on December 23, 2008 (Tuesday). That means 4 years ago on December 23, I was adopted from Fancy Cats:)

My for the time being, not so evil bestie Pansy is throwing me a party in the virtual play date area on Catster so you all better come!! You KNOW there will be tons of food (although, I don't know WHAT kind of food *worries*), and if you don't come? You will feel the wrath of me and Pansy and I will sit on you :)

Eve's mom has a faculty party on my bday and won't be home until late. I'll TRY and save her some cake :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeee

Mail for me AND mommy!!!

*yawn, stretch* I just got done with my HP meowathon :) We all just finished chapter 26!

Anymeow, today I got mail as did mommy! Hazel Lucy sent us a very pretty Catmas card with her beautiful face on it, and I got a very sweet Bday card from Cali and Teebo in WI! I hope they aren't snowed in!!! The entire Midwest and East coast is getting hammered with snow! Thank you both for the cards! *hugs*

Next I got a purrsonalized ornament from my gorgeous wife Eve for Catmas!! She spoils me! I already got a kick tail denim bed for my bday, and a few days ago got a card with 2 charms inside for my collar, but now this too!! The picture on the snowflake porcelain ornament is of ME in my tux from our wedding June 14, 2008 :) Awwwwwww Thank you Eve *kisses*

Now mom has been looking for a small ring box. The large one she has holds earrings, pens, watches, etc., but she wanted something that held 6 rings roughly... So during the Muppet auction, Kittana's nana auctioned off a ring box. So I contacted Kittana to see if they made custom orders and they do! So tada! Mom got her ring box yesterday. We love it and it's this gorgeous cedar wood box! Mom lovesssssssss it! So all in all, great weekend for mail!!

Oh and mom's Twilight calender came today. She had to order it from ebay 'cause it's impossible to find at Borders and is sold out :)

Dismal...

I just realized you can see how other cats have scored on the that's cat breed photo game... My score as of 3:33 AM EST?
YOU ⇒ 107 Boogers, Hondo, Fido, Mittens, and more! 120
Wow, I'm doing sooooooooooo GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! MOL Too bad I didn't have more time to do better! Mom just doesn't know her cat breeds. Dare I say this aloud? She didn't know I was a "Tuxedo" cat until she had me for a good year! This was around the time we joined Catster as she remembers getting pawmails about how "CUTE" I was and how they "LOVE" Tuxedo Cats!

Mom just assumed I was a black and white cat :) She has a lot of catching up to do on cat breeds being she's only been a cat lover for a little shy of 5 years!

PS thanks for all the virtual gifts! I'll have to figure out what the new ones are as there doesn't seem to be a way to organize them from old to recent...

Kick tail mousies and mail!!!

Mom got home a bit late from teaching and then of course, she was starving so she and dad grabbed a bite to eat (Chicken Ceaser Sandwhich).

But when they got home, I FINALLY got to open my mail! Don't they know I have a life too? :)

I got a very cute Bday postcard with cats celebrating $ with catnip beer from Diego and LuLu!! There's a tux cat that looks like Diego and he's dressed up as a girl? (I swear it's NOT me :) Thanks guys!

Next I got a picture card from Chloe, Charlie and Petey up in NY! So good to hear from them! I haven't been in touch w/ them for some time but they were one of my first catster buddies! Thanks!

I also got a funny Catmas card from Chai, Little Bit and Sugar! Their return address label is cool! It had their faces on it and the pawrents and inside a stamp by each cat's name! Pawsome! Thanks so much guys!

Last I opened up a big birthday package from my new buddie *IVAN* He is a HANDSOME dude 'cause, well, he's a tux and we're handsome, sophisticated dudes! OMC! I got the COOLEST MOUSIES EVER! I've never seen these but they said in a note that these are their favorite *Mine now too* They are furry mousies, but larger but the creme de la creme is that they chrip!!! WOAH! I went nuts! And I also got two candy catnip toys (candy cane and a purple grape one) Oooooo! Thanks so much Ivan for my bday gifties!!! I'll post pics in a few!!!

Thank you goes to Margo too for my HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE bday cake on my page!!! Everyone is free to take a bite out of it :) Just save me 99% of it ok?

Sawyer dude hooked me up!

I can always count on my fellow dude to bring food when I least expect it!! Guess what! I got a package from my bestest dude Sawyer!! He and I have this fascination, no... Obsession with food :) So it was appropriate that the bday card I got was of a cat reaching into the fridge!!! Been there DONE that :) I also got Chicken Temptations, a 3 pack of mousies, 3 pack of balls to keep mom up at night with, a big fluff bunnie (fluffy like me), and a Kitty hoots showgulls toy with a lot of feathers on it's bum!! I give it 1 day until Mittens takes it while I'm eating only to pull the feathers off :) He also sent mom a chocolate Santa bar. Mom did share with dad 'cause dad wouldn't shut up about wanting chocolate MOL

Awwwwwwww thanks dude! I'm going to open the treats soon 'cause I'm starvin... Mom took a nap this afternoon and when she woke up, our food was GONE! Doesn't she know I'm a growing dude?

Not so Evil... (for now)

Alas, me and Pansy have called a truce for the holidays. No more wars... It was my Catmas gift to her as I wanted to be the bigger cat (no pun). After all, Santa Paws won't come if I'm bad tee hee :)

I have called off my pose so if they make any attacks, it's on their own terms!! I Boogie must be GOOD mom said! I even told my brothers to lay off :) Yes... I'm a GOOD cat this Catmas :)

*pushes down horns that try to emerge from his fur*

The Breed Photo Quiz

The Breed Photo Quiz
Your Score: 81 (39 out of 110)

To sum it up? Not good! MOL!!! We recognize the Sphinx right away 'cause our friend Buda is a Sphinx :) Of course, we recognize the Ragdolls, but sometimes the pictures don't match the answer. I'm guessing it's based on what the owner of that cat says what their cat's breed is?? One cat had shorter hair than me, and the answer said, "Domestic LONG hair".

I see that they changed it so for every 1000 points you get 25 zealies. Too bad we don't have time to play. But wow, I see the top 2 cats: Mercy, and Scooter are my friends! The top 10 has a list of cats I know! Wow, you guys are hard core when it comes to gammin' MOL

Back to eating...

I got mail!

I got some pawsome Catmas cards today! Grover and Dexter in TN sent me a cute photo card of them. Handsome dudes!

I also got a Birthday and Catmas card from my buddie Murray in NY (You know, the one Pansy taunts). The card was meowlarious (hairballs!)

Sawyer dude, who celebrates his 2nd Catster annifurrsary today (FOOD) sent me a cute card with a way cool clear sticker with pictures of his entire family!!

I also got the 2nd half of my gifts from my BEAUTIFUL wife, aka DDP today, Eve :) She sent me a gorgeous picture of her in the Catmas card, and two blingy pendants for my collar with a bell!!! They are both red hearts and one says: Jingle Cat, and the other says: Have a purr-fect holiday!

She spoils me so!! Thank you Evie Eve!!! Mom is going to put that on my collar tonight! I'm going to get off the computer and snuggle inside the denim cat tent bed she sent me last week :) Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

PS. My Catmas cards have finally gone out as of 8:59 PM EST MOL! I just NOW set them in the outgoing mailbox!!!

My lil' brother is getting married!

I can't wait till tomorrow, December 15, 2008 @4pm Catster/7pm EST as Fido and Allie are tying the tail *HERE*

EVERYONE is invited :) It's pretty casual as they are both sorta laid back... Yeah, a bit confoosing as Fido is the wild one, but he has calmed down the past year or so.

Hope to see everyone there :)

CT Scan

Hey everyone!

Mom let me get on quickly to thank everyone for making my DDP day special!! I won't get to thank anyone until tomorrow as mom just changed as she and dad are going to a party as mentioned earlier.

Mom also got back from the Cardiologist. When her reports from her Renal scan last month stated: Increase peak systolic velocities were recorded at the left proximal and mid RA, suggestive of >60% stenosis (hemodynamiclaly significant)?

I guess the last step is for mom to get a CT scan as it'll determine if there is blockage/pinched artery. If there is, then she'll be an out patient with something involving a cathader to fix the problem. If the CT scan shows that she doesn't have a pinched artery? Then it's hereditary and the Cardiologist said, it's too bad 'cause other than the HIGH BP? Mom is healthy! At least we're getting closer to knowing the results.

But it is interesting that the above states the "left proximal and mid RA" 'cause the Cardiologist and family doctor both noted that mom's BP on the left side is always 10-13 points higher than the right arm. Nothing mom can do until she gets the CT scan (calling for an appointment Monday).

Anymeow, thank you all again for making my DDP special. Time to say by to mom and dad so they can leave :)

*PARTY AT MY PLACE*

I am a diary Piggy, I admit that...

Well we're up at 3:10 AM as mom was paying bills online and catching up on emails.

Alas, we heard our Outlook Express go, "DING" which meant we had human email, and sure enough, mom got an email saying I'm a DDP.

I won't be able to get onto catster until MUCH later today as mom has a Cardiologist appointment (followup). This was scheduled before we got the results back as stated *HERE* . I believe the Cardiologist will explain and dumb it down to mom :)

Also, my pawrents are attending a party as one of dad's friends is no longer on FTI (Field Training ________ ) as he finished the Police Academy a couple months ago. Dad know's the Cop's wife 'cause she worked with Dad, so he's happy to have an existing friend on his squad :)

So I'm all alone tonight and that means... PARTY!!!!!!!!!!

PS Don't worry, I'll get extra treats. Last night mom and dad went out to dinner and brought home some of their dinner which I DID get to sample :)

Kaviar goodness!

We just got online only a few minutes ago as mom was teaching from home. After her last student, she went to the mailbox and saw a package for ME!

*SAMMIE AND KIKI* who were one of our first buddies on Catster sent me a bday package with a couple of Catmas yum yums for mom! Inside I got a can of... *drum roll* KITTY KAVIAR!!! I also got a black furrry mousie, red fluffy ball, pack of catnip socks (I gave those a good bunny kick), and a CUTE Bday card. Also inside, they sent mommy a big hershy kiss *smooches* and a Snowman pen with fluffy things that mom said, "NO GUYS! Don't even think about eating it!!" MOL

Thanks so much guys for making my bday and Catmas so special!!! Time to test the Kaviar out!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Catmas Cards and a Catmas gift from Eve (I think?!?!)

Ooooo mom just got home from teaching. I got tons of mail!

Let's see... I got a cute card from Diego and LuLu. Thankfully it got here as the apt # was missing. Our regular mailman must have been working as he knows us and laughs when there's mail for us cats :)

I also got a card from Gibbs, Cash and family! What a great looking picture of them both!! Thanks guys!

Then there was a super cute card from Cali and Teebo in WI! They too had the cool picture/card.

Next I got a glittery card from Cali and Leo. Also inside was my Santa Outfit. They repaired is 'cause Mittens ate some of the white fluffy feather stuff. I wrote about that a while back, but alas, it was fixable and it's all fixed :) Thanks guys!!

There was a BIG package and since I don't know the sender, I'm assuming it's from Eve. She said they mailed out my bday gift today, but my catmas gift would be coming from someone else. I'm going to write to her in a sec :)

Inside was the COOLEST denim cat bed/tent! It's the shape of a dog house but obviously for me, a CAT! When mom zipped up the bottom, FIDO just jumped in there like it was COOL! *AHEM* IT IS MINE!!!!!!!!!

And then to make matters worse?!?! Mittens decided to jump ONTO the tent. UGH! If you look at Mittens' video about a cat tent, you'll see the destruction of Mittens... HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Thank you so much everyone!!! And thank you EVE my love for the Catmas bed/tent! I'll post pictures very soon!!

*BTW? I am still finishing my Catmas cards! ARG!! Mom is slacking this year! They will go out this weekend!!!*

Fallin' Tiki, scary Pansy bird, and a kick tail blue bed!!

Admit it... Seeing my kick tail tiki cat script on my page makes your mouth water just thinking of how good Tiki Cat food tastes :) And I have the privledge of eating an endless, UNTAINTED, supply thanks to *OLY* .

Yes, it's true... I have sided with Oly even though she has made Pansy scripts for her page too. As long as she doesn't make whiz ones, we'll be on good terms!

UPDATE as of 7:45 pm Catster! OMC! EVIL! Pansy has the falling whiz script! EVIL!!!!! OLY!!! HOW COULD YOU!! MOL

Speaking of *PANSY* . She was super kind and sent me birthday and Catmas goodies!! TOLD YOU I have been a GOOD Boogers this year! She and Sully sent me a meowlarious bday card, pictures of them this past Catmas, a bag of chicken Temptations, an angry SCARY pansy bird, A Catmas themed Tail Chaser, grass seeds to plant, and the creme de la creme? A Yeowww catnip cigar. Perhaps she is evil as she's promoting smokin' catnip!!! MOL! Thank you so much Pansy!! I of course, am sending her COAL!!!

Next I got a huge package from *CAT IN THE CLOVER* As mentioned earlier, my pawrents and brothers had specially ordred a blue bed. Our fabric store here doesn't have much, but leave it to them to find a kick tail blue print! They also sent me two scarfs, a PINK one for Hondo to match his divo bed, AND a mousie, red ball and catnip pillow. Thanks guys for making this bed for me! It's perfect!

I got it early 'cause ummmm.... well.... Mom came home from doing errands, and she brought the box inside. While unpacking, and putting things away, myself and Tiskers ummm... We sorta were chewing at the box. I knew instantly what was inside 'cause I have a super duper good nose. I could smell the bed. So alas, mom opened it up early for me :)

Picasso's picture

If you'd like to post the beautiful picture of Picasso made by Samoa, click *HERE*

DEVESTATED!!!! *crying*

Mom is crying while typing and is just so devastated... It is with deepest regret that I inform you that *Picasso* has passed onto Rainbow bridge.

Mom just got off the phone with Picasso's mom and we promised her we'd inform her friends in diaries, groups, and some personal pawmails.

As you've read in his latest diaries he hasn't been eating as much (and we know he had a good appetite), but his mom was concerned and brought him to the vet. On his way there, he started to breath very heavy since he had Cardiomyopathy. The vet did administer a Lasix shot which usually helps. His heart was hard to listen to as there was a lot of fluids in the heart. The vet said that he would be ok to go home as there wasn't much they could do that wasn't done already. They decided to let Picasso go home, try and relax as a vet visit is stressful for a LOT of cats. After Barb paid for the bill, she was 2 steps out of the vet's door when Picasso started to breath and make loud sounds.

We're all in disbelief, shock, and very upset to say that Picasso went to the bridge today due to congestive heart failure. His mom went WELL and beyond to care for Picasso... Our family is SO HONORED to have met him 2x. He truly is a remarkable cat. We have all received a very special angel from the Bridge who is looking down on all of us.

I'm so sorry Barb and Rob. We are beyond sad to hear of this news... *hugs*

Catmas Cards!!!

Ooooo!! I got mail! I got a card from Calvin and family and inside was a very cute picture of their entire family, and I also got a card from my besties NBK and family!!

*tacks them to the fireplace*

Well, as mentioned earlier in my diary or one of my brothers, mom sent dad to the USPS and we NOW have stamps :) I couldn't send out Catmas cards but now I can! If you've been bad and have been siding with EVIL Pansy, you won't get one! MOL!! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the cards guys!!

WOW!! Thanks so much guys!!! Mom is sending dad out to send Catmas gifts to our girlfriends/wives :) She has to send 2 more gifts out after that but can't 'cause she's not done shopping for her friends. I can't believe it's already December 8!! Time is FLYING by!!!

Thank you!

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by my page and left me pawmails, virtual gifts, shoutbox messages, rosettes and gifties :) You made my DDP very special!

I'd like to inform Ele', that yes... It is true... I won't be getting a scratching post for Catmas or my bday. The only one I'll get is the one RA left in my gift box. Thank you for your effort though! Instead, I know what my bday gift from my pawrents is... Mom had asked Calvin's mom if she could find some cool blue material to make a bed for my bday! Blue is my favorite color. The JoAnn fabric store near us don't have much for selection. Well my bed is all made and mom just paid! I can't wait to get it :) Eeeeeeeee

Sorry we're behind on pawmails. Mom has been busy working on a website for dad's work :)

DDP today!

YAY! I'm a DDP today! At least it's spread out from the last time I was a DDP. I always feel a bit embarrassed if I'm a DDP 2x in a month, or worse, twice in the same week!

I pawmiss I'm not paying the Diary Lady with Tiki :)

I'm excited for my HP Meowathon tonight! For those who don't know what it is? We have a book club purrr say. Every Saturday for an hour, we talk about 2 chapters. We've been doing this for over a year and are over half way done with book 5, "Order of the Phoenix". Pretty pawsome :) Ok, time for bed!

Mail for me!!

Ooooooooooo I got 2 catmas cards!!! The first one was from Colleen who lives in WI! Her and I have been buddies since we joined Catster. We have a lot in common too! We both are spoiled, love food, and our mom's are the same age :)

The 2nd card came from Oly and family :) Mom always thinks we can smell our friends on their cards. *duh*

We've put up our cards on the bar area in our kitchen *points*. Oh... You can't see can you :) MOL

Thank you guys!!! We have to get stamps before we send our cards out! We didn't order cards like we did last year 'cause mom found a big box of cards she bought last year. Smart thinkin'!

HP: Beedle the Bard ZOMG!!

ZOMG! This came today along w/ the order of coal I placed for Pansy and Allie's gift :)

Ok, back to the book... Mom ordered both the Collectors Edition and standard $7 or what ever edition.

She doesn't plan on reading the nice version *rolls eyes*. So, the Collectors Edition I believe is limited to 100,000 copies. Mom placed her order the same day it was available to pre order. The book is HUGE! It's about the size of our 19" computer monitor! You open the book, and on the right side is the REAL book (much smaller). It's like one of those books that hide things inside. The real book is protected by a felt bag. On the left side is a nifty folder which holds documents and copies of the original I believe (pics). Mom has to teach in a few so she can't enjoy it (she's been sleeping all day, tired) but I'll report back later! ZOMG!

PS: Thanks cats for dropping off virtual gifts! I got a scratching post from RA (YES!), thumbs MOL, Tiki shirt, HP broom, and a stinkin' pet rock from Fido MOL

Leave me gifts!

That's right!! Virtual gifts! Under my shoutbox I added the gift giving widget that I had last year. Here's hoping there's no hairballs! I decided against the mistletoe widget now that I'm spoken for. Eve has my heart :)

I'm all done shopping for the holidays! Mom and dad will finish their shopping today and then we should get the gifts sent next Monday. I wonder what I'll get!

Mom already told me "Sorry Boogie, no scratching post" *pouts* I know Ele' tried to convince my mom, but it failed. It's not THAT bad I suppose. Just where the seams meet it's a bit frayed (the red cat post that you often see in pics). I still have 4 other huge posts too, but they're in different spots in our home! Actually, come to think of it? We counted our posts:

4 huge ones, 3 small ones... Ok, change of plan... I'll settle for food and world peace then! *andtogetrevengefromtheevilpansy*

Awww dang!!!

So now it's 6:45 AM on the East Coast... I wrote a few hours prior that mom and dad were going to do all their errands today. Well....

Dad got called into work! *sigh* Mom said, "Sure, go for it Dan" as it's OT. The OT in the entire county is becoming scarce so mom said take it while you can. There's talk of NO OT after mid Dec, and some departments will have to do "furrrlow", meaning working w/o PAY (5x a year they expect). Since dad is essential along w/ a few other dept, they won't face that ::knock on wood::

SOooooooooooooo I guess mom will go to sleep now! MOL!!!

Not Halloween anymore!

I hope the new Catmas rosttes come soon! I noticed there's still the pumpkin and black cat out... I hope they bring back the candy cane rosettes!

Mom only got 3.5 hours of sleep. She went to bed at midnight with Dad and now it's 3:53 AM as I type. I didn't wake her up this time. It was Mittens. He must be hungry (even though there's dry food out) as he was all up in her face, "Meow.... Meowwwww... MEOWWWWWWWWW"

Just as well mom's up early. They're leaving at 9 AM sharp to go shopping!

Santa knows I've been good :)

Dang right I have!!! Like Lancelot said, I have protected Catster against Pansy's evil doings!!! Have helped add muscle to many cats who wondered what the hype was about Tiki (this was before Pansy tainted it). And most importantly? I'm the bestest husband! Just ask Eve!

I'm not liking this holiday food... I've gained a few ounces... I hope I don't tip the scale at 19 pounds! I've done so good at maintaining my muscular physique for the past year while holding strong at 18ish pounds... I know Mittens will be the biggest soon, and while we're not in competition? Let me just reiterate... The dude is HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I think Fido will always be the tiny dude in the fam, always like dad in so many ways: Tall and Thin...

Seems like a Sunday today...

Mom and I keep thinking it's Sunday... But it's SATURDAY!!! I helped mom clean the house a bit, helped Picasso's mom with backgrounds and codes, been making some for friends, etc.

Busy busy Boogdulph! Clearly I've been GOOD this year! Not evil like someone I know (who will probably get coal for Catmas).

Speaking of, Wednesday I hope to get all my gifts finished so I can send them out :) Mom has to shop for a few friends too. Of course Hondo wants to help but he's been helping us with online shopping...

Why Blue for Catmas?

Well, blue is my favorite color is why! I know it's not festive, but trust me... It's hard being a cat who's bday is SO CLOSE to Catmas!

I was adopted the 23rd and was thought to be just shy of 1 year old :) So that's my bday! So give me all your FOOD! :)

Pansy is teaming up w/ Barkley, the cat that almost took my place... Evil, pure evil. I sent out a few grinches. No one is evil like Pansy, but at the time mom had just figured out how to change colors w/o using the flood fill tool MOL!!!

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm so thankful for having a pawsome loving family and very thankful for having friends like you! *points to the readers*

I'm also thankful that most of my urkey friends weren't captured by the Evil Pansy. Say, speaking of... I bet you she works for the Grinch! *holds back giggles as he's planning something*

Daddy has left for work but mom plans to read and catch up on some emails. *hugs*

Happy Birthday Smudge's mom!!!

Another birthday today in addition to Allie and Murray!! *SMUDGE'S MOM HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY TOO!!!*

Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuu
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Happy Birthday to auntie Jo.............................

Happy Birthday to you :)

Renal Duplex Report

So mom got the test results from her Renal (abdominal area) back today. She has a followup in Dec where the Cardiologist will go over her results as right now the numbers mean nothing to her MOL

But here are the following Conclusions:

-No evidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm
-There is no evidence of hemodynamically significant right renal artery stenosis
-Increase peak systolic velocities were recorded at the left proximal and mid RA, suggetive of >60% stenosis (hemodynamiclaly significant).
-Normal RI bilaterally

So I'm assuming it's not a bad report. So after all the tests mom has had, her high BP is hereditary... Dang, she's adopted so she'll never know... But good to know that medically she's ok!

Happy 3rd Birthday Allie and Murray!!

Everyone! *ALLIE* and *MURRAY* are celebrating their 3rd Birthday today!!

Fido and Pawstuctaway are throwing them both an all day party and your attendance is requested!

All day party *HERE*

Happy Birthday you two!!

In loving memory - Spunky...

*SPUNKY* made his journey to the bridge. The sky will be extra bright today. It also marks a year since *BUDDIE* went to the bridge too... May both families today find peace knowing their loved ones are no longer in pain and are looking down on them and their friends and family.

Thank you to those who wished my dad a Happy 28th birthday today :) I showed him all the pawmails and he got a kick out of them :)

He wanted to say thanks to the following cats: Samoa and fam, Mercy, Colleen, and "Where is my squishable Pansy???"

Twilight the movie was PAWSOME!

So mom and dad got back from seeing Twilight tonight. Gosh, tickets are EXPENSIVE!!! $8.50 each for matinee, $10.50 for nights?!?! HOLY CATS!

I won't ruin the movie for anyone, but we give it 5 paws up!!! We loved it!!! I think the characters were cast correctly :) For you Potter heads, Cedric from Goblet of Fire? He plays Edward in the Twilight series :)

Can't wait for the 2nd movie!

In the meantime, I've been getting taunted by someone... Wanting to know what this Barkley cat looks like... Dare I meow it? He looks like ROBERT but with more brown in his fur (he wasn't an orange cat, but orange/brown I suppose).

He found a home shortly after I was adopted by an older man who didn't have a companion :)

WOAH! DDP!!!

*yawn* My pawrents just got up (mom was up late reading "Eqlipse" and is up late since dad is still on nights this month).

And FINALLY I get to check my pawmail when I see my first rosette from Aspen (acorn) and first email from HL!!!

I got quite a few pawmails saying my adoption story had a pawsome happy ending! It sure did. I told a few in pawmails that we adopted Hondo May 25, 2004 and me, Dec 23, 2004 so mom was still getting used to cats. We've mentioned in a few old diaries about how there was a cat that didn't work out and alas, I came, but still to this day mom feels so guilty about "passing" me up since she didn't know cats reached for people (she thought I was attacking her MOL). But good things happen for a reason no? I turned her into a cat lover (clearly!). Hondo at the time was more "dad's" cat, but he's now neutral. Actually if you have cat treats or FRESH WATER he's your best friend :)

Thanks to the following cats:
Aspen (acorn), Hazel Lucy (pawmail), Sampson and fam (drumstick), Hooch (turkey), BUDDIE..ALWAYS LOVED (pawmail), Chelsea Louise (blue ribbon), Sir Sonny Bono (pawmail), Margo RKN (pilgrim hat), Lancelot (PIE!!), Sammie dude (drumstick), Pumkin Pooh (pawmail), Mercy (pumpkin), Ele (pilgrim hat and MOL! The cat tree is SO the ticket!!!), Nikko and Scooter (acorn), Pawstuctaway Serengeti (pawmail), Baby-G (pilgrim hat), Pansy (pawmail and EVIL Canadian cold front!), Isis (diamond, who's sister Missy NEEDS PURRRS), Freddie H. Mac and fam (red rosette), Entrechat Cat (pawmail)

Tagged by Murray!

Murray in NY wrote and told me I have to write 5 things which I am thankful for in honor of Thanksgiving being just around the corner. Here goes:

1. The no. 1 thing I'm thankful for is being adopted! Almost 3 years ago mom and dad were looking for a playmate for Hondo. They decided to adopt from Fancy Cats (where Hondo was adopted). While looking at cats, I, BOOGERS, grabbed mom from my crate and that scared mom! (Remember, she wasn't a cat fan! Never had a cat until she married dad!!). It scared her and well... They ended up picking a cat named "Barkley". Turns out the cat was MEAN! Mean to mom and dad, AND Hondo! After 2 days of JUST MOM AND DAD trying to play w/ the cat, they told them that it wasn't working out.

The people at Fancy Cats said that they had one who's been there for a while, one who's really sweet (and was there the same day EVIL BARKLEY WAS THERE). Rest is history! It was ME!!! It was meant to be!!!

While mom feels OH SO GUILTY for being scared at me pawing at her (she didn't know better!) I forgive her :)

I think that was one heckuva No. 1 so I'll leave it at that :)

Mystery pie cat???

Gosh! Someone threw a pumpkin pie at my bestie Pansy!! Now, if it was me I'd like to let you all know that I'd NEVER let food go to waste!!! I wonder who dunnit?

I noticed that cat had a white paw but how many cats have white paws? TONS!! Dare I suggest it? I noticed Sully has a white paw! But then so do all my bros!!!

Could it be sawyer? Murray? Tort? Diego? RA? Cocoa? Mercy?

DOM DOM DOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! *checks out his corral to see what friends have WHITE paws*

Voki is broki!!

Oooo! I keep forgetting to check my Voiki 'cause it's been broki!! Thank you to the cats who signed my guest book, left messages on my shoutbox, and left voki messages!!

I can't "leave" any voki's 'cause even though I got a temp password, it won't let me reset it :( It won't recognize the NEW password to reset the temp one, oh woe is me... I have complained in Calvin's Voki group in hopes someone knows the answer... I hope someone can help! EVIL!!!

Thanks Vanessa and Toffy for the sunglasses for my COTD honor :)

I know who stole my nip...

Yup, my arch nemesis Pansy stole it! I knew it!!! Why, check out *THIS* picture!! Notice how it looks awfully familiar to the picture of me *HERE*

STRIKING SIMILARITY NO?!?! Gosh, it's as if she was IN my home! We apparently both have the SAME blinds and scratching post! *freaks out*

Fine... You can have my nip... I, in the meantime, will munch on Mittens, Tiskers and Biscotti's 1 year Catster Annifurrsary PINK cake tomorrow as they get the coveted cake :)

ALL FOR ME! NONE FOR PANSY!

Thank You Andre and family for the pie and Tanis for the pawmail, and Sawyer dude for the star in celebration of my COTD honor yesterday :)

My catnip!

*gasp* Anyone seen my catnip bouquet?!? Maybe I should consult Colleen as she did just write a few diaries about her nip addiction, and how it's too late for her to stop the insanity...

Or perhaps my mom meowed w/ Murray's parents as his parents have cat proofed the house! I would hope my pawrents wouldn't just hide my nip plant considering I just received it??

Mittens is laughing... I'm not sure why...

COTD Thank You's!!!! **THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!**

OMC *still in shock* I have decided that I want mom and dad to buy me a catnip bouquet from PetSmart today! Ooooo

Thank you to the following cats for making my day oh so special!! And Thanks RA for the new nickname: BOTD=Boogurkey of the Day!!

ALSO HUGE concats go to my BEAUTIFUL WIFE for being a finalist in the Coolest Catster Contest! Also we just heard that Mercy and Pixie are in the finals as well as Gordy for the toilet pic MOL, Newman and Gleek, Pebbles and Sofie!!

O...M...C... I AM COTD!!!!!!

ALAS!!! I have received an honor that I have wanted since I joined Catster 2 years ago!! COTD!! OMC!!!

You see, my brother Fido was COTW within weeks of coming home and joining our family... I admit, I was a bit jealous... But now I have achieved an honor other than diary pics. YAY ME!!!

OMC! I know mom and dad are going to do errands today before the UFC 91 fight on Pay Preview comes on and before the Harry Potter Meowathon... But I do believe this warrants me SOMETHING from PetSmart!!! EEEEEEEEEEEE OMC!!! Mom is so excited for me!!!

I'd like to take this moment to warn all Turkey's that are floating on catster that Pansy might be knocking at your door... BEWARE! You have been warned :)

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Don't worry... Be Happy Package!!!

OMC!! Mom just received a very thoughtful gift from my wife *EVE AND FAMILY*

A while ago, I had wrote about something that was happening in mom's life that was a shock... A few of my besties know the details... Since then it seems to be nearing a close, and unfortunately things have "gone through" and it's a matter of time for things to get signed...

Well, my beautiful wife and family sent my mom a big box of COOKIES!!! The box was bright yellow as it featured those yellow smiley dudes! Inside were individual wrapped yellow smiley cookies!

How sweet of her! I have the bestest wife ever! Thank you Eve! I'll post a pic of the cookies later as they're cute--that is if Daddy doesn't STOP eying them MOL!!!

TGIF!!!

Well it's 4AM here, and mom is still up... Although she tried to have a normal schedule, i.e. get up around 8-10 AM, go to bed around midnight if not earlier, turns out bad habits are hard to break.

Mom never really stayed up past 1AM during college. She made sure her classes didn't start until after 10AM if possible... Then came grad school, when most of her first classes didn't start until noon or so. Then the late nights started, and she was going to bed around 3-4AM...

Fast forward 6 years, and today, she's still not able to shake that bad habit... We of course blame dad as he's on nights...

Ok, back to reading book 2 of the Twilight series... We're on page 202 and I'm sleeping next to mom while she reads... Pansyisevilasalways :)

Ele' is the solution to all Cat's wants and NEEDS for the- holiday season!

OMC!!! I hope Ele' won't mind that I share this with you, but I think I speak for myself and other catsters, that she has the solution to get what you want and NEED for the holiday season!

So I read Gimme''s diary about how they convinced their mombo to use that plastic cc of theirs to buy zealies... Well, actually... Ele' took it upon herself to get it w/ the help of ugly kitty too!!! And man oh man... They've done good! So I wrote him saying it'd be pawsome if Ele' could think of a way to convince my mom that we KNEAD a new cat condo (The red one is getting shredded badly on the extra post and I HAVE been caught chewing on the strings).

I URGE YOU ALL to take notes!! As told by the lovely Ele' who I don't think will mind if I share this, provided you all repay her in Catmos for her help (seriously, this is pawsome):

Dear Mrs. Boogers,

Quite recently I came into the possession of some very important information that I thought I would share with you, as the holiday season is upon us. Bear in mind, that you will benefit greatly from said information!! **looks up, smiling and nodding enthusiastically**

It would seem that your #1 son, Boogers, is in NEED of a new cat tree. Now while nearly every cat will express their desire to obtain such an item, I'd like to outline why Boogers - your #1 son - NEEDS this item, and how you will benefit from it as well!

1) I've heard that the cat tree now in Boogers' possession is beginning to look "ghetto". Now, you have never struck me as the type of human who wants their home to look in disarray. A new cat tree can be placed in the common living areas, without causing any embarrassment when company is visiting!

2) A "well-used" piece of cat furniture has the potential to cause injury. Pieces could break off **Ele' gasps for dramatic effect**!! Claws and teeth could become caught and pulled in stray loops of carpet or fabric. Think of the ensuing trips to the v-e-t to treat such injuries...the v-e-t bills...less money to spend on human items, not to mention the stress and worry caused to the human if #1 son (or any of them) is hurt!!! **gasps again while stepping aside so that slide show pictures are clearly visible**

3) Kitties always want to play more on a new piece of furniture. This would result in more exercise for Boogers, thereby helping with his , ummm, fitness needs. A healthier cat - again - means fewer v-e-t bills and trips!!

4) If the "well-used" cat tree is placed in a guest room to be used as a backup (you DO have six kitties), Boogers and siblings could launch middle-of-the-night attacks onto sleeping in-laws. The entertainment factor here is absolutely priceless!!!

So you see, the entire family will benefit from a new cat tree, and at the same time you will be meeting the needs of your #1 son. I know that his health and happiness is of the utmost importance to you. We only get one romp through this lifetime, right? **steps aside so that the slide show is clearly visible again**

EEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!! Harry Potter does Equus!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! *SHOCK* The mail today came REALLY late (4:45 PM!?!?!?!?) But sooooooo worth it!!

*GORDY'S MOM* had meowed to my mom that she'd be sending something for mommy as she knew she'd like it. Mom had no idea what she'd send...

Alas, inside was... The Playbill of Equus!!!! The play that Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is playing in NYC!!! OMC OMC OMC!!! THANKS SO MUCH DUDE!!!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee HP!!!!

PS Pansy... I saw your medal for the cat who bags the most Boogurkey's! *angry face*

Cardiologist goo and cat food!

*yawn* My parents just woke up from a nap. Mom had an early Cardiologist appointment. They did another ultra sound but this time on her liver and kidney area. It didn't hurt she said, but they do have to put quite a bit of pressure. The goo was warm she said. Followup is in Dec 22, the day before my 5th bday!!!

Then they went to Costco and bought a few things of food (lasagna, TP, dishwasher stuff) and most importantly... 4, 4o pound litter tubs!!! We go through a lot... Hate to think what Mercy and my half sis Karizma's family goes through (10+ cats)!!!

Then they went to PetSmart. They bought 3 bags of dry food and decided to try some new moist. We've been eating ProPlan chick w/ rice but they bought some Salmon kind and the kitten formula. PorkChop doesn't like moist much. He prefers dry like his half brother Picasso! We also got various cans of MaxCat adult. I just got done yacking one up and left a nice stain on the carpet :) YAY ME! It was a turkey/liver kind and turns out NONE of us like the square chunks... Tiskers did, but that doesn't surprise us... He likes all food but is svelte compared to me :)

Mmmmmmmmm FOOD!

Robert?!?! *gasp*

And here I thought he was on MY side! Did you hear the theme song on his page?!? I take purrsonal offense to that! NO TIKI FOR YOU!

I might have to get my bestie Smudge to come to the "good" side. I know how Robert can annoy her at times :)

I'd sleep with one eye open if I were you ROBERT!!! Don't make me sit on you!!! 'Cause I will!!!! :)

I know what I want for Catmas!!

Although, I have this sneaky suspicion it won't happen... Not during my 9 lives...

I was meowing with Lancelot and he mentioned the "Scratcher" and how there's this house in Japan where it's Cat Friendly...

O...M...C... *LOOK*

PS to my friends... Watch out, Pansy is hunting you all down... To avoid her, just taunt her with whiz :)

PPS I just finished the first book in the Twilight Series: "Twilight" OMC! LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

PPPS I want *THIS*

I, Boogurkey, have a plan!!!

I can't tell you publicly what it is, but I have a plan... I received an email from... Wait, you thought I'd disclose the cat who gave me a few pointers?! BLASPHEMY!! No way Jose'!! After all, Pansy IS reading!!!

For all the Turkey's who are being targeted, rest assure, I, Boogerkey have a plan! A VERY GOOD ONE! Seriously, she can't over take over 30 Turkey's by herself... NOT even with the help of Robert...

Speaking of... Anyone seen or HEARD from him??? Guess who has! MWHAHAHAHAHA

I think it's working guys!!!

MWHAHAHAHA!! I know a secret... Wanna know? There are over 25 (and counting) Turkey's running loose!! I read some cats' diary *coughPansy* and she thinks I'm setting off decoys... I give her props, she's one smart Turkey!

You see, it's my civil duty on Catster to preserve the rare, and soon to be extinct Boogurkey... I'm just doing what any normal cat would do :) Have a great weekend!!!

HARK! What's with the Boogurkey's?!?!

I see that Lancelot and Sawyer have caught the elusive Boogurkey!! I read that Pansy's been giving hunting tips in Lancelot's diary! And what's this about Tiki sauce?!?!

Unfortunately mom has to go teach a few lessons in a few minutes, so I can't reply to pawmails yet... Mom and dad went to her eye appointment today, got lunch at Cheesecake factory (mom got the cod fish and chips--yes MORE cod, dad got the Orange Chicken), and then mom bought an early bday gift for daddy at Hugo Boss (a taupe suit, a stripped tie, and a gray wool dress coat--it's sorta his bday/xmas gift as HE needs to be there for the tailor even though they have his size in the computer).

Mom came home with... NOTHING! She wanted a purse but she said they need to curb shopping... I got... NOTHING TOO!!

NO FAIR!!

How come I got ONE piece of Cod and PorkChop got MANY PIECES?!?!? Check out this incriminating *VIDEO*

Well mom will be seeing the Cardiologist next Wed for one more test near her kidney. Even though mom claimed she suffers from "White Coat" when she sees the Dr., Dr. Khan says "That's a myth". MOL So mom's bp was 130/90 when she came in even though normally it's 120ish/70-73. Mom got some cheaper drugs but the trade off was she has to take 3 instead of 2.

As for the kidney, she said if it's pushing against something (a medical something or another) that can elevate the BP. Mom has to not eat the day of so we shall see! Mom saw the heart results (CD of the ultra sound) and it was cool to watch. All is well w/ her heart. So if it's not the kidney, it's for sure hereditary...

Tomorrow, meeting with the eye surgeon as mom has some issues and questions abut her eyes even though the followup was scheduled for Jan.

Thanks Pansy for the heart and Mercy for the glasses!

Sweet 16!

It's a good thing my buddy *SAMMIE* isn't a divo! You know that show on MTV? "Sweet 16?" A lot of times (most) there are these 16 year old kids who celebrate their 16th with a brand new car, and on ave, a bday extravaganza at the fine tune of $250,000.

Well, Sammie isn't a divo nor is he getting a new car (or is he?) but I'd like to wish him a Happy 16th birthday!!! Here's to many more pawsome bday's dude!!

The funniest pic I've seen!!!!

Oooooo I just got done meowing with *THIS CAT* as I about peed my furr when I saw *THIS* Hilarious dude!!!

Almost as hilarious as *THIS CAT'S* Catster page... Boogurkey? Sounds good to me!

What do you say Murray and Scooter/Nikko dudes? I know Sawyer is busy eating his bday cake, but I think she should pay!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GNOMEY!!!

HOLY CATS! I knew it was Nov 1st today OBVIOUSLY but I didn't change my calender over! To my surprise I realized it's *GNOMEY'S* 2nd birthday today!! And then November 4th is Sammie's, and Oly's on Nov. 13, Gleek the 18th, Dad the 25th and Allie and her brother Murray celebrate their birthday the 26th!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Gnomey!! I'm sure your mom and 2 brothers are going to spoil ya! Dang, where does time go?!?!

EEEP!!!

BOO-gers!!!

MOL!! My best dude *SAWYER* sent me and my family a cute Halloween card and a ghost catnip toy! It's a ghost and it says BOO on the front, hence the BOO-gers MOL!! He even mentioned that in the card! Thanks dude!!! I know Mittens smells your sis *rolls eyes* so he'll be the one posing w/ the gift. Thanks dude!

Also thank you Sawyer for the spider gifty, Boris and fam (collar), Atlas (pumpkin), Alex and family (pumpkin), Cauliflower and fam (hat)

WE HAVE A TIKI CHICKEN WINNER!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!! A Tiki cat chicken flavor I like!! The green can:

Ahi Tuna & Chicken in chicken consomme is a winner!! EVERYONE including Hondo, Fido and myself love it... UNFORTUNATELY Tiskers no likey! MOL!!!

So looks like we'll stick to the Tiki TUNA kind, aka the original... Perhaps Pansy didn't put enough Squishable into the Ahi Tuna & Chicken flavor? MOL

Weird how even I didn't like the Chicken Tiki!! Calvin liked it though so maybe it was just OUR batch? Seriously, Pansy tainted the can I KNOW IT!

Sawyer turns 4!!!

One of my best dudes *SAWYER* turns 4 October 30!!! He's a Yankee's loving, Tiki eatin', Food loving dude so please stop by and wish him a Happy Birthday!

There's an all day party *HERE* which is being hosted by his girlfriend Mercy!!!

Happy Birthday Dude!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm FOOD!!!

Thanks Nikko and Scooter for the DDP rosette from my DDP the other day!! I still worry about your safety! Pansy is after us! I KNOW IT!

Mail for me AND of me?

Ooooo today we got a pawsome cute Halloween card from *SKEEZIX* !!! We have all the cards he's sent since we became friends: Halloween, Birthday, Vday, St. Pattys, you name it! Such a handsome fella! Thanks dude!

Also my pendant came today!! Mom was super excited! She might knead dad to model it for pictures... You see, mom would wear it and have daddy take a picture but he's not as steady with the camera if you know what I mean :)

Chicken Tiki part deux

Yup, the wild salmon and chicken in chicken consomme is whack too... We've tried 3 of the 4 flavors so far...

Last one up in the next few days? Ahi Tuna and Chicken in chicken consomme

So:
Succulent Chicken in chicken consomme=yuck
Chicken with Egg and chicken consomme=patewieeee
Wild Salmon and Chicken in chicken consomme=whack

Will report about Ahi Tuna and Chicken in chicken consomme later this week when we try it... Again, all 3 raggies like it! Us 3 domestics? NO WAY!

--

Continuing thanks to the following in regards to my DDP:
Reena and family (black cat), Baby-G (pumpkin and NO TIKI TODAY IS YUCK!), Bailey Gray Cloud and fam (black cat), Buddie and fam (collar), Boo (collar)

Thanks to Reebok for the candy corn and Bellsnickles for the bat with scary message :)

I find this interesting... And YAY ME! DDP!!!!

MOL! Wow, I was on a dry spell from being a DDP and now 2x in a span of 7 days!

I find it interesting that both times were the result of me meowing about Pansy's evil doings! It's as if the DDP Lady is "listening" you know? I bet she has our back!

Thanks HL for the pawmail! The first thing mom does when she turns the computer on is check HER personal mail first *hmph* and then WE get to read OUR mail.

I also share this day with Hondo's nephew *MURRAY* Concats dude!

Thank you:
Theo Meeza (black cat), Lancelot (shades--and NO to ice cream), Patchez (black cat), Isis and fam (star-- MOL on the penguins), Samoa and family (black cat), Chelsea Louise (bat), Little Black Kitty (bat), Sammie and KiKi (black cat), Murray (bat), Cannoli (ghost), Pansy (evil black scary cat)

Busy Day!

First off, mom is going on 4 hours of sleep! WOOT!! She is constructing a website for Daddy's work and will be getting paid (that is pawsome as I told Calvin, who has been helping, that more $ = More Tiki).

I showed Pansy's brother Sully the link to make sure things looked ok on their end, and low and behold... Pansy infiltrated the site and now is threatening dad's co-workers!

BUT WAIT! She's also hitched a ride with *MURRAY IN NY AND FAMILY* ! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They walked into a trap! NIKKO SCOOTER WE GOTTA FREE OUR MOM'S TO SAVE CATSTER!

And that is NOT all! Murry's computer got a BUG!! OMC! EVIL!!! I bet Pansy did it!!! Thank cod Allie's dad goes into the hospital Tuesday, aka FAR AWAY from the Pansy Madness!

But onto good news. It took mom about 7 hours to develop the website. She'll do more once she signs a contract and all. So far quitting her job back in Feb has paid off! Less work, and when she does teach 2 days (About 3-4 hours? MOL) she gets paid more and gets to spend more time with us!!!

After dinner, she spent 2.5 hours cooking meals for the week: Spaghetti Pie (seriously, it's good, we'll give the recipe to anyone BUT Pansy!), Chili, Spaghetti meat sauce, boiled eggs, made a chicken stir fry, and taco meat! Ooooooooo FOOD!

*giggles at Lancelot and Pretty Paws' diary*

Chicken Tiki is WHACK!

*patewwwwwwwwwwwie* So the verdict is in!! Me no likey!! Yesterday for breakfast, dad gave all 6 of us the "Succulent Chicken in chicken consomme" and when dad got home, he told mom I didn't like it!! I actually walked away from it! The ragdoll twins and PorkChop liked it.

Then when I had the Chicken with egg and chicken consomme yesterday night, myself, Hondo, and Fido walked away from it! Yet again the twins and PorkChop again enjoyed the large can!

What's weird is that the texture is like that chicken Sheba (treat, not a meal), but yet I hated this Chicken Tiki. I wonder if Pansy, aka Ms. Tiki tainted MY can? THE NERVE! After all, she was heading towards Murray of NY's home! I saw that threatening rosette she sent him MOL

Funny face!!

WOW! Pansy just informed me that my funny face along with Calvin and other catster's is featured *HERE* on Skeezix's Catster column "The Cat's Meow"

Pawsome! I know it's one of Pansy's favorite pics MOL! Don't forget to vote for the funny faces! Thanks for the rosette and notification Pansy! And Thanks Skeezix for putting my mug on your blog!

Me?! A DDP!!!!

YAY! I haven't been a DDP for over 4 months!! And I see that I share this honor with one of the coolest Gato's, *MAGO*

Mom just got online now. We slept in a bit late as mom thinks she's finally getting a cold. She hasn't been sick since last Nov I think? Since working from home, she doesn't have to put up with pawrents bringing their SICK kids to their lessons (who by the way, ALWAYS coughed ON mom).

Time to say thank yous and check out my pawmails and gifties! YAY ME!

BTW? I did eat one of the new chicken tiki's for breakfast! I'm not saying how DELISH it was :) Ok, so dad fed us this morning since mom was sleeping... But when he gets home from work, I'll report back!

Thanks to the following:
Pawstuctaway and fam (collar), Mathis de Meowler (heart), Theo (pumpkin), Pumpkin (collar), Sammie and KiKi (black cat), Chelsa Lousie (shades), Margo (acorn), Samoa and fam (ghost), Kujo (black cat), Isis (black cat), Cocoa (ghost), Sawyer dude (pumpkin), Chai and fam (power paw), Diego (bat), Sir Sonny Bono (collar), Sampson Silver Dollar and fam (black cat), Gimme and fam (collar MOL!!!), HL for the pawmail, Miles (bat), Muppet (who still kneads purrs) a diamond, Reebok the great pumpkin (pumpkin), Evil Pansy and good Sully (bat), Harry and Albus and fam (pumpkin), Mago fellow DDP (Jack-o-lantern), Buddie always loved and fam (collar), Remus (ghost), Baby-G (heart), Ivan and fam (collar),

I AM IN TIKI CHICKEN HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!

OMC OMC OMC!! *starts to salivate* OMC OMC OMC!

My bestie *MURRAY IN NY, aka fellow Squishable victim (assuming)* sent me a package of... Tiki! BUT WAIT!!! It's not just ANY Tiki!!

BEHOLD!!! Tiki in the following flavors!

-Succulent Chicken in chicken consomme
-Ahi Tuna and Chicken in chicken consomme
-Wild Salmon and Chicken in chicken consomme
-Chicken with egg in chicken consomme

*DROOLS*

OMC! And that's not all! I got 3 cans of the purple Tiki "Tuna on rice w/ crab surimi" and 3 cans of yummy Solid Gold! ACK! *goes crazy* Be sure to check your mail Murray ok?

We also got a Get well card from *GNOMEY, ANDRE, NBK* , thank you so much! Mom's eyes are looking better each day. The good news is that her left eye closes MOL The scar on the upper lid on the right eye has flaked off, and the left has yet to flake off. She seems to be healing fast which is very good news!

We also got a gift from DDP *CANNOLI* but I'm going to let PorkChop write about that :)

Thank you all!!! Pics to be posted soon!

Evil Pansy...

Take a look at *THIS*

I wrote Nikko and Scooter and yes, we will figure out a game plan! The thing is? I don't know that Pansy knows how much Dior bags are worth... They would buy a LOT of squishables... She'd almost be better of selling the bag she stuffed my mom into and buy more squishables... *wonders if Pansy will take the bait*

Anymeow, mom said we'll be back to our HP group and Catster like before now that the stitches are out! THOSE were annoying! Mom can open her eyes much more and not feel like her face is going to crack.

Thank you Morgan, Lancelot and Diego for the rosettes!!! Mom said our stash comes in 3 days but I might steal dad's CC to get some more... I'm good like that!!!

YAY! Stitches are OUT!

So it turns out mom actually got MORE than 48 stitches!!! Apparently, on her lower lids, there are some internal ones that will dissolve in a month or so. Mom's eyes already feel better now that they are out :) Her lower left lid is a bit "lower" but that eye had more stitches and the Doc said if she does this massage for that eye, it'll "relax", so nothing to worry about.

Did you know the Doctor that did Tiger Wood's Lasik is in the same office as mom's eye doctor? He said Tiger's eye sight was like -12 or something crazy. Mom will eventually go to Tiger's doc for that down the road.

Mom's upper eye lids aren't so scary anymore too MOL. Only one left stitch HURT to get out (mom knew it would as it was super tight and the position was weird) but she survived.

No contacts for at least another month, but that's ok. Main thing is mom's eyelashes NO LONGER rub her eyeball :)

Good thing we didn't have Nurse Pansy on deck! Time to give mom R&R

48 stitches later!

I'm back for a bit on catster! Mom just figured out how to make Catster font BIG (holding Cntrl down and moving the middle button on the mouse forward). That helps as mom did manage to write a few of my friends by making the font in it's 40's!

Thank you all for your kind pawmails and rosettes! Mom will help me reply to those this week.

So it's true, mom got 48-50 stitches and she might get them out tomorrow. She was scheduled to get them out Thursday, but her left eye isn't closing as well as the right. The left upper lid is swollen still, where as the lower right lid is swollen so she's a bit lopsided. Pain has been very minor but the stitches are driving her nuts--she never had them other than for wisdom teeth.

I'm sorry if I missed anyone's DDP or COTD honors. Dad wasn't too good about keeping up MOL. He even forgot to submit mom's portion for the HP Meowathon last Saturday!!!

In the meantime I wanted to share my domino pendant for you all. There has to be one minor adjustment (adding more black around my right eye) but other than that? It's purrrfect!!! *TADA*

Love you Eve and everyone keep Pansy at bay!

PS Do stitches hurt to get removed? Mom is a bit freaked!

Thank you again for the kind pawmails and thanks to the following for gifties (I hope I didn't miss anyone):

Diego (paw), Gimme (paw), Eve (huge paw), Pansy (rose and shades), Orca (paw), Murray in NY (tiki shrimp, sunglasses), Simba (acorn), Hunter and fam (paw), Oly and fam (leaves), Mercy and fam (rose), Reebok (football), Miles and fam (Fido popped the balloons), Colleen (paw), Hazel Lucy (shades), Anon MOL, Sammie and KiKi (shades), Spot dude (star), and Sampson Silver Dollar and fam (paw), Fluffy and fam (ghost), Sebastian (paw)

Mom is OK!

This is Boogie's Daddy! We wanted to let everyone know that Mommy had her surgery this morning and everything went well! She was under for over two hours and her eyelids look really red and weird with the stitches in. She got her Vicatin pain medicine and salve for her eyes over the next few days!! Unfortunately she is going to look worse in the next few days and as of right now can't even open up her eyes so don't expect her online for about three to four days! Later on, we may show some pictures to others cats personally, if they are interested!


Pansy........where is my squishable?!?!

Thanks for the purrrs of good luck!

Ooooooooooo I must have missed my beautiful wife online! She sent mom a power of the paw gifty! Thank you so much! I'd like to thank Orca as well for the rosette and Murray for the shrimp tiki rosette!!!

Thank you all for your kind pawmails too. Mom should be ok, but I'm pretty sure we won't be on for 2 whole days. A friend of mom's had the surgery as well and said that the first two days weren't painful, but she couldn't see very well (some have dry eyes as your lids won't close as well due to swelling, etc).

Daddy will jump on sometime tomorrow to write a diary for me to let you all know the surgery went well.

In the meantime, stay outta trouble, and Nikko and Scooter! RUN RUN! I got some incriminating evidence!!

I think Tort should hang out at Murray's place in NY... hehe!

Nikko! Scooter! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang that Pansy! She catnapped my mom! Perhaps she's bringing my mom to River Road Surgery Center on Wednesday for her eyelid surgery??

Thanks Diego for the power paw rosette! Keep an eye on Pansy while we're gone ok??? Thanks Pansy and Sully for the rose (you're not off the hook btw MOL). And thanks to Gimme and family for the paw rosette :)

Look what *PANSY DID* *gasp*

But keep in mind, me and some lil' innocent cat DID do *THIS* to her squishable... Seriously I could NEVER think of this on my own! I'm a good boy!

Spiffy in my tuxedo!

I just voted for my bro in law and my beautiful BEAUTIFUL bride in the Catster contest! I also just added me in my tuxedo and a funny face pic, so please vote for that!

We will be on Catster tonight and tomorrow but then we might be gone until the weekend as mom is getting her eye surgery on Wednesday at 9:15 AM. Dad is going to buy some peas so mom has a cold compress for her lids. I told dad to get her some ice cream and me some treats to help speed up the recovery :)

Be sure to vote for my wife and my NEW pics!

OH NO! Mom fell for it!!

*gasp* For those who know my meowmy well, they know the following:

-She lovesssssssss chips, and would eat a bag before touching chocolate!
-She lovesssssssss designer purses! Her favorites are Marc Jacobs, Dior, Gucci, and LV
-She lovesssssssss designer shoes too!
-Oh and she and Hondo both love diamonds...

So imagine the shock and horror when I received *THIS* picture!!!

MOM NO!! *cries* Leave my meowmy outta this Pansy!!!

MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Momma's BOY!!!

HARK! GASP! No, seriously!!

It's true... Me and my posse have gathered in front of Pansy's front porch and managed to get Pansy's squishable AND lamb while she was on the phone with her Robert (who, by the way, was NOT available to protect her and her squishable).

But while mom was eating ice cream and I was chillaxin', mom's blackberry went off and hark! An email from Pansy!

And before I knew it, I was reading her latest diary when...

HARK! GASP!! Everyone, and I mean, EVERYONE who has met me knows that I'm a momma's boy! But low and behold I read Pansy's latest diary entry *HERE*

*runs off to guard mom and calls up his posse* NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE comes between me and my MOM!!!!

And BB stands for...

BB= Booga Bear, aka a name my beautiful wife gave me :) SO I don't see how this could be a threat... Even though my voki (since when did they start working again?!) says otherwise...

BRING IT!

Tactical diversion?? *plays dumb*

What do you mean my master minded plan of a tactical diversion to get Pansy off my tail about whiz, tiki and hopes of getting dad's squishable back didn't work? *very worried look on his face as even dad thought this would work!!!*

Ummmmm how is this fair? I sent the EVIL Pansy her own squishable hoping to make amends and to get back our squishable and it BACK FIRED!!!!!

Did you read her diary *HERE??*

You know, for a moment, I almossssssssssssst felt bad that PorkChop got Whiz today at the vet... Made me think of how mean I was to Pansy... That was UNTIL I read her diary!!!

*contacts fellow posse members and they plan to regroup*

Vote for me!

Mom is trying to find pictures so I can enter in more categories in Catster's 4th annual Coolest Cat contest!! I would love for you to vote for me *HERE* and be sure to hit "VOTE" after you assign me a paw rating for it to count. Mom also put a badge on my page so you can come back later to see what pictures I added :)

Good luck to you all! I hope cat's make this fun this year. We always give 4-5 paws (NEVER 1 as that's mean) as this is a fun contest :) Everyone's a winner :)

Threats from Pansy's man?!

Oh dear... See, I KNEW IT!! The moment I take down my guard, is the moment *ROBERT* comes back! Someone told him I was teasing his poor Pansy!! *so not scared*

And what's this? I get tainted flowers on my page from Robert?!? Dang right I sniffed them :) And why look! Read the message he left me in his diary *HERE*

And dang right I smelled whiz! In fact... It was PANSY'S WHIZ!! Trust me, me and my dudes and dudette are on a mission!!

Halloween from my bestie!!! (even though she stole our- Squishable)

Oooooooo OMC!! *laughs as he admires some of the post it note warnings* MOL

My crazy bestest bestie *PANSY* and her brother (who celebrates his 2 year catster annifurrsary tomorrow) sent us a Halloween goodie package and some!!

Ooooooo tiki! Yup that's right! Since Pansy has control of the tiki plant as she IS the new Tiki Cat, she sent me a yellow can of Tiki!!! It got her stamp of approval as her face is on the can! I'm not kittenin'!

I also got 2 bags of my favorite turkey temptations, a cheeta print nip pillow, Halloween pictures of both her and Sully, a black mousie (it looks like PANSY!!!), two MEOWLARIOUS buttons (one of Pansy in her trademark polka dot dress, and me in my Herndon Police Booga outfit), a lil' something for Porkchop with a warning:

"These are for Porkchop. Paws off Boogers!"

And a way cool mousie pad for our computer with ME on it! It features *THIS* picture! THANK YOU SO MUCH PANSY!!!!

This however does NOT get you off the hook from my pose' of dudes! I'd take Sully up on it but I'm sure his Smudgelet won't approve!

Pics to follow soon!

PS I have a big secret that ONLY LANCELOT knows! And he will NOT crack :)

SWEET! Meet Count Boogula!!!

OMC OMC OMC! I finally have my Halloween costume thanks to Pansy!!! Check out my main picture!! OMC! Pansy, you may soon be over taken by me and my fellow tiki lovin' dudes, but you sure do have talent!! Think how much more talent you'd have if you used your Tiki taking ways and put that effort into your fashion line MOL!! *hugs* THANK YOU!

Halloween pages!

Phew, mom just got done spending an hour making all of our pages for Halloween! Since mom doesn't have time this week to buy us all new costumes and since her eye surgery is next week, we're going to have to use old costumes. That's ok :) I wonder if Skeezix is having another Halloween costume contest??? Unfortunately I won't be able to participate this year...

Just as well as my fellow anti-Pansy gang are getting ready to strike back! I'm waiting to hear from two more dudes and then it's ON!!! MUWHHAHAHA

Watch out Pansy!!!!

I am currently building up my cat army and am awaiting for a few more to get back with me! I'm proud to have *HARLEY* on my team! He is gathering up reinforcements as I meow! MUWHAHAHAHA

I won't say when we'll strike, but it will be soon! I think you forgot that I do have Harry Potter on my side :)

*goes back to the Command Center* MWUAHAHAHAHA!

DEFEATED!! I may have to call for backup!

HARK! GASP! Even dad was at a loss for words!!! That pesky *PANSY* has outdone herself! Not only does she like fire? But she destroys people's property! Look at our front door! *gasp*

And if that wasn't bad enough? She stole the whiz from me! Granted, I took it from her, BUT she has MY Tiki stash too in Canada!

AND THAT IS NOT ALL! Look at what she took! Why yes, that is dad's squishable! OH NOES!

Must contact my friends for reinforcements!

Orca! Sawyer! Lancelot! Murray in NY! You with me dudes?

Hark! Hondo is on Catsters main page!

I'm so proud to say that "LOOK! There's my handsome brother on the front page". Check out his diary *HERE*

He's the quiet and shy one in the family so it's pawsome to see him get some love :)

Now, if only Tiki would use me to help endorse their food :) I work for cheap! Aka, free Tiki! Just don't have Pansy on the set, she'll break out the cheese whiz...

Tagged by Butter

I was tagged by Butter

Here's how to play... tell seven things about yourself in your diary, then pick seven other kitties to tag. Send them a paw mail or a rosette to let them know you tagged them, and to read your diary.)

1. Mom often has treats handy when she takes pictures of me and of course that gets my UNDIVIDED attention :)
2. I'm 18.1 pounds (working so hard at 17)
3. I honestly (HONEST TO COD) hold mom's hand at night while we sleep.
4. I have a cute meow :)
5. I'm spoiled but I like to share the wealth to others.
6. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my mom!
7. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Tiki too, but that's 2nd to mom :)

The lil' dude isn't so bad!

Me and Hondo have welcomed the lil' dude :) And mmmmm his high in fat food smells yummers!

Word is Pansy is on her way to Virginia! You see, my lil' brother took her lamb and puppet... I've locked down the fort and the whiz is under high security... That Pansy isn't touching it!

Why does PorkChop get more food?

When I first met PorkChop today for a minute, I made a bee line for his food :) Yes, I am weak...

Me and Hondo really liked the new dude, but the new dude didn't like us... Raggies and Fido hated the new dude, but the new dude liked them...

I'm going to try and sneak a bite of his food :)

Can't wait to meet PorkChop tomorrow!

Ooooooooo I get to meet my brother tomorrow! While Pansy has taken hostage of my brother until I surrender ALL of the whiz, I know mom will get to see him tomorrow. Why? I'll sit on Pansy if I have to and trust me... You do NOT want that to happen! 18.1 pounds of lovin'! MOL

Pansy, mom teaches later today, but mark my words... I might have to admit defeat in this round *sigh*

YAY! GOOD NEWS FOR MOM!

She JUST got back from the family doctor and has been approved for her eye surgery October 15! WOOT!

BP was 136/80 and the doctor was so happy to see the results. Funny thing is mom said, "There's that white coat syndrome again" as mom's BP is normally 112/60!

1st Birthday and Annifurrsary!!

WOW! Today is a big day!

For starters *HARRY* turns 1 year old today! What a handsome fellow! There will be an all day party *HERE* held but unkie Hondo. The theme is Harry Potter 'cause well... He was named after THE HP!!!

Also today is *HAZEL LUCY AND BUDDIE'S* 3rd annifurrsary together! WOW!!! They were one of the first catsters to get married we're told. We wish them many more pawsome years and memories together!!!!

Eeeep! Cheese slicer?

OMC! OMC! OMC! Run for your lives Catsters! *THIS* cat is armed with a cheese slicer and lighter for the fondue and she isn't afraid to use it!

Fellow cheese heads and buddies! We must unite! Don't fall victim to the Tiki!! Defend ourselves!

A new brother!

Yes it's true! I've gone through most of my corral and invited you all to befriend my new brother *PorkChop*

Did you all see that coming? I sure didn't! I knew our computer desktop picture changed and while it sorta looked like our raggie brothers Mittens and Tiskers, something was different.

Thank you Pansy for the cute picture of me and PorkChop (on his page). I shall be a good brother and enabler... I mean... Influence :)

PS did you all see the new face of Tiki? *scared*

Eve let the cat out!!!!

YES! I'm no longer sworn to secrecy!! MOL!!! Guess what?!? My wife has some BIG BIG BIG news! Check out her diary *HERE* !! HUGE NEWS!!!

I'm so happy for them! Isn't that exciting?! Eeeee

Thank you HL for the rosette! And mom does play and teach piano--although her degrees are in Clarinet :) It was so nice meowing with you and your mom today! *hugs*

*GASP* The unthinkable has happened! DANG THAT PANSY!

*look of horror along with the endless tummy rumbles* Other than my beautiful Eve, most who know me know that I love a few other things:

1) My mom!!!
2) Baths
3) TIKI

Obviously number 3 is dear to my heart... So to have *THIS CAT* announce to the Catster community that... *GASP* There is no more Tiki?

OK OK! I probably do deserve a good tail kickin' being me and Ms. Tiki did submerge her precious Whiz stash. But if she has ALL the tiki? That means others don't either!

WE MUST UNITE!

Where are the Shoutboxes?

Oh no... Not again! MIA shoutboxes! Perhaps the pirates have something to do with it? Maybe COTW *MORGAN THE PIRATE GATO* can talk some sense into them Pirates?

Are you a Pirate? What's your Pirate name?

Here are some fun links!

I hope this isn't rude... **UPDATED WITH THREAD LINK**

But can people please stop sending the febreze collars? I was happy to see most of them are gone so the gifts that people pay for can be seen... I wish they'd stop letting cats send them out. They are too big and gaudy...

**UPDATE** MOL! Gimme!!! haha!!

PS I started a link *HERE*

YES! Pansy you rock!

Check out my main picture that I received from my crazy bestie, cheese whiz hording friend PANSY!

*laughs* OMC! LOVE IT!!!!! Thank you!!

Missed everyone :)

Well we're back... Thank you for being concerned and a big thank you to those who mom was able to get some feedback/advice on the situation. We know it will get better over time and we just kneaded a few days to digest things... Still a work in progress...

In the meantime, I noticed everyone looks like a pirate! Thank you Pansy for making me a pawsome pic with sardine tiki MOL! You can imagine mom's reaction to that :)

Time to let my bros have a shot at the computer... We did manage to take a few pics while away from Catster. Will post those soon!

Just a note to our friends...

Something recently has come up and mom kneads to sort things out for a few days so if you don't hear from us:

1) NO Pansy didn't catnap me (even though I'm sure she's thought of it!)
2) NO I didn't go to a fat cat camp!!
3) All of us 5 and our pawrents are fine :)

After tomorrow's meowathon, we will be a bit preoccupied for a while until things settle on our end and we hope they do for mom's sake... For those who know *hugs*. It's not her heart (and btw? She can't WAIT for her surgery Oct 15!!!), just some unexpected, and shocking things that mom never imagined in a million years would happen...

Firefox malfunction again???

Oh nos... *THIS* is what we see when we try to go to "My account" from the homepage... Note, it's only an issue on Firefox, not IE.

We can't even view our rosettes! Tiskers got one today from his S.A., and we could only view it in IE. We clicked on rosettes, and NOTHING opened up!

Firefox all fixed! Eye surgery update!

Well, 24 hours after I wrote my last diary, the left menu bar worked for me :) YAY! I didn't like not being able to see my Corral Pal Updates!

We always check those before bed :)

I did hear from HQ late last night and they couldn't figure out how to replicate my issue, but thank cod all is well!

In the meantime, mom has good news about her surgery! Details are in *FIDO'S DIARY* . I'm too lazy to re-write it as I knead a nap :)

What's wrong with Firefox and Catster?!?!

Ugh... When we hit the panel to the left of this entry (My account) it doesn't open up with multiple options anymore including "Corralled cats update"!!

Yet when we use evil IE it does! Anyone having this problem?? We'll probably pawmail Catster but we hate waiting 3 days for an answer... I even gave myself some extra treats in hopes that it refreshes the cache!

I'm blaming PANSY!

*UPDATE* Diego just informed me he too is having the problem. I just pawmailed HQ and I think he is too... Pansy, you are sooooooooooo busted :) MOL!!!

Sardine fun!

MOL!!! I just got the funniest Sardine picture from crazy Pansy!!! MOL!!! Sooooooooo true! Seriously, mom almost gagged like their mom when she opened up the can of red sardine tiki food! It's just not right... Well, that's what mom says... And Pansy so captured what our kitchen looks like when we do get the sardine can--we've only had it a few times from the variety pack.

Check out the picture *HERE*

MOL!!!!

TGIF!

TGIF! Today mom cleaned the house and she groomed all of us! Well, as best she could... Mittens and Fido HATE being brushed! Hondo can tolerate 2 minutes and then he wants to leave... Me and Tiskers could get brushed allllllllllllllllllllll day!

Mom is going to do another 24 your-in test on Tuesday so they can do the last test that didn't work due to a high ph...

But she's hoping to get the eye surgery in October now that her bp is 120ish/70ish! WOOT!

In the meantime, I'm helping mom with hair styles... She said her hair grows like a weed, so she wants to cut it sometime in the near future.

We were happy to hear from Smudge in the UK! They haven't had internet access since they just moved. Bought dang time! I have huge Robert gossip to tell her! MOL!!!

Diego is da man!

Yes, he found out the solution on how we can get our shoutbox's back!! I won't tell you the answer but if you wanna know, you should read his diary *HERE*

Awwww ya Diego! You da man!!!

Your-In results...

Hmmmmm mom just got off the phone w/ the nurse people at her doctors and I guess mom has to do the 24 hour Your-In test again as one test couldn't be performed due to something in the ph? Also one test came back with a high count of creatine? Was that it? So mom is waiting to hear from the doctors. It's supposed to do something to the kid-knees, so that sounds like mom's bp is attributed to that purrhaps?

*sigh*

I bet it's all the cheese whiz Pansy has been feeding my mom!

Party for our brothers!!!!!!!!!

Oooooooooooo can you believe it?? In less than 3 hours, our brothers:

*MITTENS*
*TISKERS*
*BISCOTTI*

will turn ONE year old!!! Big brother Snowmitts is throwing them an all day party *HERE*

The theme for Mittens and Tiskers is of course, Harry Potter! Biscotti is a huge Winnie the Pooh and friends fan! So get your party gear on!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU THREE! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!

PARTY TOMORROW!!!

Get your food and party on!! Tomorrow our brothers, Mittens, Tiskers and Biscotti (living with Picasso's family) are turning ONE YEAR OLD!!

OMC! I can't believe it! My my they've grown! Time has gone by fast!! and they're still growing! Mittens and Biscotti are the chubbers of the litter--Mittens is 18.3 and we're certain Biscotti is 17-18 pounds too! And then there's Tiskers, 13.4 pounds, so svelte :)

Keep in mind their dad was over 25 pounds!

Eeeeeeeeeeee FOOD!!!!

Mail for me!

Well, sorta... My bestest dude Sawyer (aka my fellow muscular dude) and family sent us a funny card for our mom. They all even signed the card themselves!!! It was a feel better card for my mom. Thanks dude!! I'm taking care of mom as she's coming down with either strep or a bad cold. But no worries, dad came home early with medicine and mom hasn't been sick for a year. Since she quite teaching at the store, she hasn't been as sick as much! WOOHOOOO!

Also we got a thank you card from Ashley and family for sending them a memento for their loss of their beloved Ash... *hugs* We hope things are easier to accept. Clearly, Ashley was a special cat who is deeply missed :(

Almost ONE years old!

Holy Kittens! I can't believe our twin brothers Mittens and Tiskers will be one years old August 26th! Time sure has flown!!! Mittens is just gigantic like Biscotti!!! Tiskers did manage to get to 13 pounds, so he's happy.

We just mailed Biscotti's bday gift out yesterday! We hope he likes everything :) Mom and I finished buying for the raggies--Hondo helped too but he was pouting as he didn't get to buy anything. He said,

"What good is shopping if you don't buy anything?!?!"

I know Snowmitts will be throwing an all day party for the 3 raggies! How cute!!!

BP at an all time low!

120/102!! Top number is GOOD! Bottom number STILL not budging! Mom goes back tomorrow but only for about 1.5 hours. Pansy? We're sick of banana's here! MOL One of the drugs takes away Potassium, so mom kneads to eat them.

She even made sure her wheat bread was REAL wheat (she was buying Multi grain but the first ingredient was some sort of flour, NOT wheat as the main/first ingredient). D'oh! Keep in mind, mom ate white bread for 29 years MOL!

Mmmmmmmmm food!

Steak! It's what's for dinner!

Ooooooooo Pansy is an enabler! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!!! She just gave me a nice piece of meat! Doesn't she know that I'm trying to loose weight and that red meat isn't good for people with high BP?!?! MOL!

Too bad they didn't have cheese whiz :) Thank you Pansy!

Like Hondo just meowed in his diary, both he and I are in the dog house... We forgot to wish our wifey a Happy Annifurrsary! I swear my mom taught me right--NEVER forget... Women always remember these things even years later... *blush*

So happy belated 2 month annifurrsary bliss my beautiful Eve! She sent me a thank you card for the HK purse I got her with goodies inside :) Inside the card was handsome old me in my Yankee (best team) cap and one of me and my beautiful wife in our wedding attire next to HK :) Awwwwwwwwww thanks hon!! I love you!!!

Can one get sick of certain foods???

So my pawrents are low on groceries (I swear I didn't eat their food) and are going to go out tomorrow now that mom no longer feels tired/dizzy with the new meds (hot flashes are still here though).

Since she wasn't well enough to go out and about and buy food, dad's been nice for the past 2 days to get her Outback's "Queensland Salad". Mom's trying to eat healthier and while their salad probably is more fattening than a REGULAR salad that mom would make, she has no food or energy to make one... Now, keep in mind, dad doesn't mind as that means he gets a steak... You know how guys like their meat!

So mom is going 3 for 3 and having dad get another salad and hopefully she won't get sick of it. Tomorrow though, they will get food. MOL

Thanks again everyone for your purrs and very HELPFUL pawmails about BP meds and side effects! Seems like you gotta find the right combo to "feel" ok otherwise you deal with what mom felt like the past week or so.

Mail for ME!!!

Ooooo today the postie dude came by with mail for me!!

I received a lil' package from my beautiful wife Eve! Inside, she sent me a few more pages to fill up the scrapbook she sent me for Valentine's Day :) Inside were pictures from our wedding! She's so talented and artsy like her mom! Gosh, mom can barely cut a straight line let alone put together pictures and make art out of it :) THANK YOU MY LOVE! *kisses*

Next I got a card from Ms. Cheese Whiz herself! Pansy, Sully and family! They sent me a meowlarious card of a cat and it made mom laugh :) Thank you guys!

Mom's headache went away but she's still "HOT" and sweating. I don't think she has a fever as well... We don't have a thermometer :( but she keeps sweating.. It's like hot flashes at 30! Hmmmmm

Terrible Harry Potter news!!!

TERRIBLE!!

It's official, the 6th movie, "Half Blood Prince" HAS BEEN DELAYED UNTIL JULY 09!!!!!

*is in mourning* I don't get it! They just released the trailer, the game is ready to be released! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is not helping mom's bp! We'll get back to pawmails and well wishes tomorrow. The new med isn't making mom tired (yay) but this HP news isn't helping her bp!

Cardiologist update--News is ok, but not great...

Ok, mom just got back from her 3.5 hour Cardiologist appointment. A lot of the long lulls were from resting and letting fluids "absorb".

Mom got poked 2x as the IV didn't take--ouch! But she didn't take her meds for 12 hours as told and was fasting. So she gets there, they take her BP. It was 170/99 (factoring in the white coat and not being on BP meds for 12+ hours). So they did a few tests including the dreaded stress test.

Now, minutes prior to the stress test, they took her BP again. 188/103 (something like that) and the Dr. was immediately concerned and gave mom 2 pills to lower it to a safe level. It didn't go down as much as she'd like but the test had to be done and they were monitoring her vitals.

So the stress test.. She said it wasn't fun! The treadmill was at a SLOW pace. Literally left foot... right foot.... left foot... But they had injected two liquids into her IV and as soon as they did? OH BOY!

The dr. even said "Do you feel warm and like you're gasping for air?" Mom said "YES". It was a shock but the doctor assured her when they stop the test, mom will be able to breath. Mom did about 5 minutes and they increased the resistance and dang, mom wasn't panting but the tight feeling in the chest was nearing to be unbearable. Seriously, mom has done the elliptical for 45 minutes and this stress test felt like (assuming) if mom did the elliptical for 5 hours!

Then they did more tests (some machine that x-rayed her for 15 minutes) and she had an ultrasound on her heart prior to these tests. Mom has to go back next Tuesday and hopefully the new meds will help. She's taking:

Caduet 10/mg/20mg and Benicar HCT 40mg/12.5mg

The bad news is that mom's bp an hour after the stress test had increased MORE. 220/112!!! :( So mom went home with a 24 hour monitoring/recording BP cuff that goes off every 30 minutes. So mom had to cancel teaching music lessons tonight... Can't let her drive w/ the cuff going off!

The dr. did say, given mom's age (30) and even if mom were to loose 15 pounds, it's definitely Genetics. Problem is, mom's adopted... So we shall see what happens. Mom isn't too happy now but she knows the Cardiologist will find out something a family doctor wouldn't be able to...

Update on mom :)

Ok, mom just got back! The good news is the dr was HAPPY with the results a week later vs. the initial exam last week.

She did as many of you suggested, add a diarehetic to her current meds. So she has a prescription for Lisinopril-Hydrochlorothiazide 20-12.5 MG. Mom won't fill it until she sees the cardiologist tomorrow.

The dr. was totally fine with mom either going w/ what meds SHE prescribed or the cardiologist.

Blood work checked out good, although mom needs to increase the GOOD Cholesterol a bit.

So that's a relief. So until tomorrow, things are looking better. The dr. did say that it's common for people to have the side effects mom did if they weren't on medicine prior. Once the numbers go down a bit, then she's clear for surgery. The max the dr will give mom clearance is 140/80ish. So that's promising. Which is good as mom's eyes are watery and irritated :(

*HUGS* The purrs worked! Mom is glad she didn't have high chlor or diabetes!

PS mom did get her bp cuff calibrated and it's off by a bit. The top number is 1 point higher and the bottom is 5 points higher than at the dr. office. WOOT!

So really mom's bp was 141/99 today. Much better.

Calvin and Dr. Weiner are brilliant!

Oh my... I just listened to my voki's for the first time in about a week and see that a few of you suggested mom get more cats to help her BP. Funny, I don't quite remember her sleepless nights when the Raggies came home, helping her BP MOL!

Thank you all for your purrs and especially those who have high BP stories/suggestions! Mom had no idea your ankles could swell, including tummy bloat! The headaches have been less frequent for the past 2 days but she's still tired. She sees the dr. in 3 hours!

Will keep ya updated. And don't let Nurse Pansy or Dr. Weiner fool you. I'm not sure they are certified in the medicine field.

And Samoa? Hondo said that you might be onto something in regards to just cutting the lashes MOL. And yes, tiki at my place Calvin or anyone reading... You know where to find me :)

Why we've been less active on catster...

A few of you (close friends and the HP group) are aware that we've been a bit less active for the past week. Granted, we still haven't been great with groups other than in the HP one, but we wanted to inform you all why...

It's nothing too serious as it's on it's way to being controlled, but a few of you may remember our mom saying she was getting eye surgery to fix her lashes and to prevent them from scratching her cornea.

Well she had to get medically cleared for surgery and last Wednesday she had her doctors appointment. To her horror, she found out her BP was off the charts: 220/1xx!! She currently has medicine but it's been making her tired (she has been up for about 6 hours on ave each day), dizzy, and she has had an off and on headache.

She has a follow up Wednesday. BUT she's actually seeing a cardiologist Thursday. Dad's co-worker has had high BP for years and none of the doctors could prescribe the "right" combo of medicine. Well he was rushed to the hospital while at work due to his BP and there he met w/ a cardiologist (who will work on mom!). For the first time in 5 years he got the right medicine and was diagnosed as having an enlarged heart. We hope mom is ok and we along w/ dad have been taking care of her :) But we wanted to let you know why we haven't replied to some of your pawmails.

*hugs*

Catster looks weird?!?! *UPDATE*

Anyone else see *THIS* on Firefox when they go to the home page?

But now that I have your attention, my bestie *CALI* has a birthday today! I'm going to look for her birthday thread that I'm sure her boyfriend started :) Ooooooooooo found *IT*

Also, today *CHAI* gets married! Me and Eve will be there at 9pm!

Never mind... It looks good now that I cleared the cache! Thanks Mercy!

Defeated...

Yes, I admit publicly that Pansy has finally beat the BoogMeister and has regained control over all the Whiz... *sigh*

And what's worse is that BoogaBeast, while scary looking, really wasn't scary at all! He turned his back on his master (me) for a stinkin' doll MOL.

However, I have an official badge now thanks to my bro-in-law, Ollie!!! I'm licensed to stroll; don't mess with me :)

Gordy is coming home!

Oooooooooooooo! About dang time! Gordy's evil mom left him for Barfton for MONTHS! MONTHS!! And we just got word that she's coming home FURR GOOD this weekend!

Poor dude missed out on the Yankee season... I told him, next time his mom goes away, for her to drop him off at OUR crib!

I think he should give his mom the stink eye...

Many purrrs kneaded :(

I'm sad to hear that my bro-in-law *ASHLEY* isn't doing well and from reading his diary, he might be visiting my bestie Simba soon :( Please purr fur him!!

Also, while today is *SCOOTER'S BIRTHDAY* I know from reading evil Pansy's diary that he and Nikko aren't doing well either!!

And lastly, our bestie *SAMMIE* went to the vet the other day and he's having poopie (sorry dude) problems!!

Please keep these amazing cats in your purrs!!! OR I WILL SIT ON YOU AND STEAL YOUR FOOD!!!!

**OOPS! Mom is slow... Scooter's bday is TUESDAY**

Can't keep up!!!!!!!

ACK!! Mom might have to have our catster email go to her other email rather than her regular one as it's clogging up mom's blackberry!! Takes forever to delete the emails on that phone!!!

I'm loving these free collars! I am trying VERY HARD to return each and everyone that is sent to me! It's hard to keep track of as when I go to my page, each time I refresh? The collars move! MOL

So I am sorry if I didn't gift one back.

*sniff sniff* Mmmmmmmmm my page smells oh so good!! Now can we get some FREE TIKI Decos? Heck, even Meow Mix would work!!!

HARRY POTTER MANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Faints* OMC OMC OMC!

*LOOK* OMC OMC OMC!!! Mom just ordered this and the standard edition as it's a pre-order!!! I'm floored! Excited! Meowless!!!

And today happens to be Harry Potter's Birthday AND *THE ONE YEAR ANNIFURRSARY OF "THE ULTIMATE HP FAN CLUB"* groups' annifurrsary!

The inception of the group ON HP's bday was a total fluke!! Lancelot had mentioned that once to us :)

WOOOHOOOO! HP MANIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmmm BIRTHDAY cake!!!!!

OMC! In just under 3 hours, everyone's favorite cat *PICASSO* will be turning 2 years old!! Oh what a milestone! I'm so happy that he's still doing well given he has a sever case of Cardiomyopathy!!! Please stop by his page to wish him a pawsome Birthday!

Fido is throwing him an all day Party *HERE* !! Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun!

The theme: MOUSIES of course! Happy Birthday Picasso!! I pawmiss not to eat all the cake! :)

Truce?

Do I dare declare aloud that Pansy has one and furrral defeated the BoogMeister? MEOW NO!!!

I was telling her that while mom was putting my journal together (like what I did for Sim Sim), I saw that it's been almost a year since Pansy and I have been at war... Remember those heart felt days? Car wars, tormenting her about Robert, angry bees, and now whiz?

I will not go without a fight! But right now I knead to have a word with Orca!! HISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Nooooooooo! Not the collar!!!!!!

Oh dear... Mom found our collars that the raggies managed to misplace MONTHS ago :) But fear not! We are all ID chipped, but mom likes to have it on us "just in case". Lucky Raggies however, do NOT have to wear one! It'll mash down their furrry mane... SO NOT FAIR!

But mom did notice that me and Hondo looked slimmer in our collars :) Fido is just plain thin anyway :)

Dang, stupid collar!! PS Pansy is Evil!

I was wrong...

Murray's place in NY is not safe... Pansy stole her lamb back... Ok, ok... Sure, it was her lamb... But she broke into Murray's home! That, I believe is punishable by BoogaCop!

Meantime, Pansy is on a crime spree! She set fire to Nikko and Scooters' kitchen! Their poor mom!! Seriously, Pansy loves fire! Catster beware!

Mom is going to lay down, she had a my-grain all day :( Evil... Almost as evil as Pansy...

Meanwhile, Eve's computer seems to be working and that's always a good thing :) I missed her so! I bet Pansy broke her computer.... I just know it!

Hiding out at Murray's!

While I still refuse to give into threats by giving Pansy her lamb back... I must take a moment to give her props...

She helped mom figure out gradients on PSP :) MOL!! Mom was trying for 2 hours last night by herself, and while we knew how to do it? We couldn't find that BUTTON! MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now notice how crazy and irate Pansy is becoming in the picture above my voki :) She sure can sport a straight jacket with pose! TGIF!

Ollie Pop is TWO YEARS OLD!

Holy cats! My bro-in-law *OLIVER* is two years YOUNG today! OMC! It seems like just yesterday he was celebrating his 1st birthday!

I remember last year we got him a bunch of MET gear.... Oh how that pained me buying anything OTHER than Yankee stuff! MOL!!!!!!!!!! But my my, he has grown!!!

How cute is he :) Happy Birthday Dude!

My Eve is back!

She's back! I got a pawmail saying she was back! I sure missed her! Maybe she can protect me from Evil Pansy!

Sorry I haven't replied to everyone's emails!!! Mom has taken a break from catster the past few weeks due to her eye problem, and what spare time she does have, she's been on fluffs on facebook MOL. That's her latest addiction. But please no invites to this so-called catster facebook group. All but 3 people on her facebook are people she knows in person, like in real life, not virtual.

I hope it cools down as it's been too hot to stroll!!! Anyway, off to catch up on people's corrals and see what you have been up to :)

Fire!

Dangit Diego! I'm going to have to have a word with him! First Nikko's mom suggested I put something in Pansy's Whiz, but Nurse Pansy said I better NOT do that... (We all know what happened w/ her last time).

So then I took advice from my favorite Tux Dude, Diego!! He said maybe give her generic whiz... After all, she'll never know the difference no?

WRONG! Look at what she did to my dream home!!! The nerve!

And Orca, don't you be showing Pansy that picture you sent me!! MOL!!!!

Say Robert? Your Pansy is HIGH MAINTENANCE!! I thought mom was bad!! But nooooooooooooo way! Pansy has an educated palate... She knew generic from REAL Whiz!!

Pansy and her Whiz... *UPDATED*

OH NO! She brought out the lil' lamb and sad face! *tries to be strong*

I'm about to visit her and hand her something... Should be up by 8pm catster... I almost feel bad... Almost...

I tried doing what Nikko's mom said, but Nurse Pansy had interfered of course... So that plan was debunked...

Then I got to thinking... What if all the catsters soon realized what a bad bestie I am to Pansy? So I gave in... While most of the whiz supply still resides in my home, I sold a lot to help bail Pansy out. I did however, take into consideration, a tip that Diego had suggested :)

Pansy's lawyer, however, is still in jail :)

Stay tuned!

The effects of Cheese Whiz...

Stay tuned... I got some gooooooooooood info about Cheese Whiz from a fellow Tux :) MUWHAHAHA

I got two more annonymousie rosettes (the blue ones). I'll report to the forum but after these two, if I get anymore, I can't keep sending them out. I've sent out like 25+ so far (between us 5).

Thanks to the two who sent me them today :)

2 years on Catster CAKE! TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!

PARTY AT MY PAGE! That's furrr sure!! Tomorrow we should get our 2nd candle on ou Catster Pink cake as we've been on Catster for 2 years tomorrow!

We're all set! Mom checked our paypal info and updated it! I can already taste the yummy goodness of the cake!

I know the big boys, Sawyer, Snowmitts, Reebok, Diego, and myself will be feasting on the luscious cake!

YAY! FOOD! CAKE! NONE FOR PANSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooooooooo again!

I got another annonymousie rosette! Thanks so much!! Dang, our zealies are going bye-bye MOL!!

I bet you felt sorry for me huh? Sorry that evil Princess, aka PANSY, catnapped my friends. Yeah, it was a tough few days, but this makes up for it MOL

Thanks!!!

A threat, Tiki, a blue rosette, and an Annifurrsary!

Ooooooo I got a pawsome bundle of Tiki from my bestest Sawyer!! Thank you dude for the rosette! And you're welcome for saving you from the depths of crazy Princess :) She is awaiting trial!

I also got a blue annonymousie rosette! Thank you to the kind cat that gave me it :) I'll be gifting one soon and will post in the forum! Thanks!!!

Also, I another baseball broke my window with *THIS MESSAGE* . I'll be watching after Princess (aka familiar looking cat), as tonight the ball drops! MUWHAHAHAHA

Lastly, today me and my wifey Eve celebrate our 1 month annifurrsary as a meowied couple! Her parents are on vacation. I hope they get a new computer! I miss her! Love you!

Dang right I'm best in show!

I got:

"In my eyes you are BEST IN SHOW! Find a few kitties you think deserve this honor and forward the fun. Don't forget to post in the Plus Fun Forum!"

Of course I'm best in show! I saved all of Catster and put Pansy away once and furall!! MOL

Thank you though for this rosette :) Off to post in the forum and pass another along :)

PANSY has been captured!!

I know I know *bows and acknowledges fellow catsters appaws and cheers* I along with the help of Fido and Nikko's mom brought Pansy to justice once and furall!

Check *THIS* out!

She will be awaiting her punishment in 24 hours, she has no idea what is coming her way.

Never mess with BoogaCop and Tiki!! For you Tiki lovers, rest assured, her memory has been changed back to normal thanks to wizard *FIDO*

Act of kindess

Oooooo I got an annomousie rosette and thank cod it's not from crazy Princess MOL!!!

"In my eyes you are BEST IN SHOW! Find a few kitties you think deserve this honor and forward the fun. Don't forget to post in the Plus Fun Forum!"

Thank you so much annomousie rosette giver!! I'll spread the catster love too but it'll be tomorrow. Mom is making me wait until dad's paycheck kicks in so I can buy zealies MOL

Off to the forum!!!

But first I must give a shout out to my bestie *SPOT DUDE* , aka the bestest chef in da world! He sent me and Eve a matching microwavable soft luscious pink bed/mat and 2 catnip pillows! OMC! Thanks so much dude!! I'm going to take pictures this weekend! I went nuts over the nip pillows :) hehe

THANK YOU!!!

EVIL PRINCESS!!

I just alerted a new friend since two of my besties are being held hostage!! Poor Lancelot, Sawyer dude and Ms. Tiki herself! All over what you ask?

Me "stealing" her whiz!! Is it all worth it Princess? Is it? Huh Huh?!?

And to make matters worse, Princess has gotten Nikko and Scooters mom in so much trouble!!!! But I managed to bail her out but I did have to sacrifice MY Tiki supply.

Murray said that the Chicken Tiki won't be out until August. NO KIDDING! It's all because of Princess!!!

Look at what she just sent *ME* . THE NERVE!!

MOL!! OMC!! MOL!!

Mom and I have NEVER laughed so hard at a picture!! Pansy, you've done good!

Check out *THIS*

Looks like she got Lancelot and now is getting Sawyer dude! But I think she's forgotten something... Sawyer is big like me... We weigh 2x more than Pansy... I doubt she can lift him up! MOL!!

Tiki update and WANTED: CATSTER ON THE LOOSE!

Ok, I just got word from Murray, Wilie and Pearl that the chicken tiki won't be in until August. ACK!!! They are torturing us! Almost as bad as a wanted cat on Catster!

Check out *THIS* cat. Notice she changed her outfit? Please, you're not fooling ANYONE sista!!!!

She is wanted for: Breaking our windows with baseballs, for the arrest of Nikko and Scooters mom (seriously, she was ONLY trying to furminate Pansy's belly), and for kidnapping Ms. Tiki herself!

All over CHEESE WHIZ!!

WANTED: Have you seen THIS cat?

Oh oh! Things on catster are about to get scary! Lock your cupboards, hide your cheese whiz, don't let this cat threaten you with the Furminator!

Have you seen *THIS* cat? Me, Nikko and Scooter are hot on this cats tail! She should be scared, very scared. She hasn't seen ANYTHING yet. She thought the Tiki threats would result in me surrendering to her. Oh she is wrong, SO WRONG! We have the CIA working on this now!! And to top things off? This cat falsely accused Nikko's mom which got her arrested!

But have no fear, I bailed their mom out with Pansy's, I mean, the remaining bit of cheese whiz.

Simba, Glompity Glomp is safe in VA :)

Awwwwwww mom and auntie Jen (Simba's mom) just got done meowing on the phone. Poor thing, all alone with no internet or direct tv...

We're glad that their movers FINALLY came yesterday to deliver and drop off their belongings. Nothing is worse than not having your stuff especially if the movers are late in delivering the goods. So she's busy unpacking stuff and I know Simba is keeping an eye on her mom making sure she creates balance within their home :)

Word is Jen will be coming over and staying over at our place sometime in the next few months! Once Nero is comfortable in his new surroundings and Jen is all situated, our mommies will meet!

I hope Jen is strong as I still weigh 18 pounds :) Seriously, it's muscle! Just ask Reebok!!!

Spot dude, Jen says "HI" back!!!

Tagged by Leo!

My fellow male Hello Kitty loving friend *LEO* tagged me! I have to list 6 things I DON’T like and then tag 6 friends. I won't be tagging but I'll play!

6 things I don't like:

1. I hate when I'm eating my luscious Tiki cat and out of no where, Mittens tries to eat my food! IT IS MINE!

2. I hate when mom stops brushing me. I love it so much! She should keep brushing me 24/7

3. I don't like when my pawrents play with my jiggly belly and say, "Oh Boogie! What IS this? Huh buddie? Awwww look, Jiggly Boogie" *blushes*

4. I don't like the word no. Like many cats, it's a word that is not in my vocabulary!

5. I don't like when dad tries to give me lovies while mom is. I'm all about mom and I'm a momma's boy, back off :)

6. I don't like how Pansy is stealing the Tiki cat recipe. Catsters BEWARE!!

Is THIS supposed to scare me?

Sooo yet again, this "Princess" chap threw a ball into our newly fixed window only to give me yet, another bluff...

Is *THIS* supposed to scare me?

Because it doesn't! In fact... I have something up my tuxedo sleeve... I have connections... Tiki connections... And while I wait for Pansy's last attempt to make me break and give back her Whiz, I have been busy as well.

We shall see how this unfolds!

who IS this "Princess"

Seriously, Princess looks a lot like this one *crazy* cat I know...

Anyway, I received yet another *threat* reguarding the luscious, and heavenly food called Tiki!

Hondo sure is quiet for what ever reason... I wonder what he knows... *looks over his shoulder and meows "I would sleep with one eye open if I were you!*

BTW? Princess? You owe me 10,000,000 cans of Tiki to help pay for the newly repaired window you broke!!!

VOKI IS BACK!!!!!!!!!

OMC! Calvin doesn't mess around with time does he! I got a pawmail saying "WHERE IS YOUR VOKI!"

I got it up and running! About dang time! I missed the Voki!!! We use Firefox and when we leave messages in one's shoutbox, we have to wait 10 minutes between messages. Now, if we were using IE, we can do it right away but IE is not Boogers friendly!

Concats to Kashmere for being COTD! I hope I get bestowed that honor someday. Fido, the lil' bugger got COTW within a month of being here... What... Me jealous?

Another threat!

What does *THIS* all mean! Something is going on with my beloved Tiki! Say, anyone know who that cat is behind the bush? This cat looks awfully familiar...

I take no Tiki cat threat lightly! Be warned!

A message from Tiki herself!!!!

*faints* Oh oh!!! Did you see the latest rosette I received? Oh my... Ok, I don't know WHO this princess cat is... But she is someone you do NOT wanna mess with!

I'm wondering if my Cheese Whiz *REVENGE* picture to Pansy was a bit too much!

*gulp* Check out what Tiki herself *SAID* !!

Ollie and Skeezix!!

OOooooooo big news! My bro in law *OLIVER* is today's COTD! I'm happy to see he got some 'puter time, as it would have been a shame if he missed his day!! Concats! Oh how I miss my Eve though :( I haven't heard from her much since the wedding due to her computer acting weird :( Love ya!

I also got a way cute 4th of July card from *SKEEZIX* !! If you check out his main picture, that was what the card looked like! He's so handsome! Thanks dude!

International Mail and stained noses! MOL!!!

So I got the tails up from *SMUDGE AND BOB* that they sent me something for my wedding nuptials to Eve. They sent it to my parents home as for what ever reason, mail to and from the UK from me to Smudge get lost! ALL THE TIME!

Well my parents sent it and it arrived today! Inside was the prettiest picture frame of two bears next to champagne glasses, a very pretty card, 4 packs of Sweet Hearts and Catnip Bits (my first international treats EVER!), and a picture of their non furrry brother :) OMC! Thanks so much!

Now for the stained nose part... I'm one to try any treats, but rarely will I get hooked (these treats Smudge sent are DA BOMB). Well, naturally I shared with my brothers. Well Fido licks his treats and then eats them when they're soggy. He has pink leather and white fur for his nose. Well he was licking the Sweet Hearts (yellow heart) treats and the top of his nose is stained yellow! MOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A threat??

MOL!!!!! Get a load of *THIS* !!

HAHAHA!! Ok, that's ALMOST scary... But luckily for me, I have my pose of baby Boogork's to protect me!

Princess? Your name sounds as harmless as Hondo's meow! HAHAHAHA!! Bring it!!

48 hours? I'm going to round up my pose, just you wait!!

NOT FAIR CALVIN!!!!!

Sheesh, so it seems Tiki is available up north, and now down south as *CALVIN* has just announced that his store carries TIKI FOOD!!! NOT FAIR!

Seriously, paying shipping on HEAVY items is no fun! Now, I would consider moving down where he is, but have you SEEN that snake their mom found?!?

Mom doesn't do outdoors, she hates bugs, hates dirt, yeah... She's a girly girl... But UGH! NOT FAIR!

What's a dude gotta do for some luscious Tiki food?!?!

DDP again???

Wow, mom just signed online a few minutes ago to see that I was a DDP!!! YAY ME!! Thanks everyone for the concats pawmails and rosettes :)

My brothers all think I'm paying the DDP Lady off for these honors... Hmmmmm :)

Tomorrow is July 1st! Time flies!! Simba's mom will be flying to Boogersland, aka VA!!! She's 3 hours south of us, but we plan to meet up! Also tomorrow is *MAGO'S* 2nd Birthday! His first one w/ his new family!! Be sure tomorrow to wish him a pawsome birthday!

Ok time to update my ever growing resume like Mercy said :) Oh! BTW? Be sure to befriend their NEW kitten *PIXIE*

Also I just got a friend request from *DOMINO* !! She's new on Catster and comes from a pawsome HK loving family!! MOL!!!! Be sure to befriend her!

Did ya hear?!?!

My bestie Sawyer is off the map! He officially asked Mercy if she'd go out on a date with him! They're a happy couple!!! *cues music*

Match maker, match maker, make me a match... Find me a find... Catch me a catch...

Also, did you hear??? Boogork defeated Space girl by means of Beaver Pansy!!! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Calculating Age in Cat Years

After reading Lancelot's diary about cat years, I decided to check out what he was meowing about! On the main page, there's a link with a wheel thingie where you can calculate your age! Interesting! It says:

Calculating Age in Cat Years

A popular misconception is that cats age seven years for each calendar year. In fact, feline aging is much more rapid during the first two years of life. A cat reaches the approximate human age of 15 during its first year, then 24 at age 2. Each year thereafter, it ages approximately four "cat years" for every calendar year. Thus, a 5-year-old feline would be approximately 36 in cat years. It should be remembered that a cat who lives outdoors ages far more quickly, perhaps even twice as fast, than an indoor cat.

We did not know that! We too thought it was 7 years purrr human year! So I am... *drumroll*

I'm 32 years old!! WOAH!!!! Fido is 24, Hondo is 36, and the twins are the TERRIBLE 13!! TEEN AGERS! NO WONDER!!!!!

Match maker, match maker, make me a match...

Match maker, match maker, make me a match... Find me a find... Catch me a catch...

Wait... I'm already hitched! But wait!!! Yes, I Boogers, have been BUSY!! Who kneads Match.com when you have Boogers! That'd be me! Free at your beckon call as long as you give me FOOD!

I can't meow too much without blowing things, but yeah... Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! *winks*

Yucky Meds!!!!

Ok, so a week+ ago, I had gone to the V-E-T for some eye meds as I was getting Boogers in my eye. Well we called the Vet back (the voicemail just NOW appeared on our phone??) and they wanted to know how I was doing. Well the right eye is clear, but the left eye is still leaving brown Boogies on my fur under my eye. So they just gave me some Erythromycin Opht Oint. If that doesn't work, there's one more thing they wanna try. *sigh* Glad my wedding pictures have been taken care of. Imagine having funny lookin' eyes in my pics!

BTW? Pansy isn't playing nice again... :)

Im a DDP along with my buds Calvin and Patchez!!!

Ooooooo mom just got up and saw that I, along with *CALVIN* and *PATCHEZ* are a DDP today!! WOOHOOOO!! Concats guys!

I was telling Calvin that he should start charging everyone a can of Tiki for each new word he introduces to the Catster world :) Naturally, he'll share with me right?

Thank you everyone for your pawmails, rosettes and my funky Turkey Hat from Lancelot! MOL!!! I didn't know it was a hat until I read the email in mom's box! I thought it was just a chicken for me to eat! Hey, if it looks like chicken, it IS chicken :)

Pictures! Finally!

Man, our entire family slept in today! While our grandpawrents were here, mom and dad averaged 4.5 hours each night. So the 9 hours they got today was well needed :)

I just got around to posting pictures finally of the gifties I received from Cocoa and family as well as Murray and fam!

The Temptations that Cocoa sent along w/ the champagne glasses are my favorite flavor, CHICKEN! But wait! They're new "Naturals"! I can't wait to try them!

I'm about to sink my teeth into the food Willie and family sent! I got 5 cans of Solid Gold, a can of Chicken and Tuna Stew Homestyle Prairie, Fromm's Flaked Salmon Entree, Evo moist, Solid Gold Indigo Meen, Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul dry, Fromm's Chicken A La Veg, and Fromm's Surf and Turf! I haven't tried any of the dry before so enough chit chat! I'm hungry!

Tagged by Leo!!!!

My buddy *LEO* just tagged me!

I am supposed to name 7 things about myself and to send it to 7 of my pals, have fun!

1. My name was originally Mo (Moe?) but obviously, my pawrents changed it to Boogers which sooooooooo suits me. People sometimes give mom a weird look when she says she has a cat named Boogers, but what's so weird about it? NOTHING :)

2. I love baths. Seriously, don't mess with me. If I'm playing in the tub, leave me alone!!! I wish I could get a bath every day to be honest!

3. I love sleeping next to mom. I often sleep on her pillow against the headboard. Mom is so accommodating too! I love her :)

4. Mom and I also hold hands in bed. Don't worry, dad doesn't get jealous :) But no, I really do!!!!

5. I have a few white hairs in my tuxedo. NO they are not gray but they are white hairs. Think of it as a tuxedo with a few white threads.

6. While I currently weigh the most, I actually look smaller than Mittens! He's more fluff but he sure is catching up to my weight!

7. I'm spoiled... 'Nuff said :)

I'm not going to tag anyone but I had fun! Thanks Leo for the invite!!

Champagne and food!

Two of my favorite things other than my pawrents :) I've been so busy with my grandpawrents in town! I only have a minute or two, but I wanted to give a meow out to a few cats!

Yesterday I received a huge package in the mail from my besties *WILLIE, MURRAY, AND PEARL* !! They had sent me a wedding gift of... FOOD!!! OMC! There were so many new flavors inside the box. I knew it was from them as they always include a cute cat on the outside of the box that looks a lot like Murray IMO :) I got 4 cans of Solid Gold, a can of Evo, another can that I can't remember because well... My pawrents had to hide the box until I pose and mom can't remember off the top of her head as I've never had this food before! Some Fromms (I think) dry, Chicken Soup dry, and a few other goodies! I can't wait to eat it AFTER I pose with the gifts MOL!!! Thank you so much guys!!!

Today I also got a gift from *COCOA AND CO* !!! My humans literally just got home from a movie, and saw a package for me! Inside was a bag of treats (Mmmmmmmmm CHICKEN) and these pretty champagne glasses with red hearts on it! How sweet! Thank you guys for making my nuptuals so special!!!

My grandpawrents are leaving late tomorrow evening. We're having a blast! We'll write more when they leave.

*bonks*

18 pounds!!!!!!!!!

I know *REEBOK* will be shocked, but I, Boogers am officially in the 18 pound range again! YAY! Mom's been working on my diet and it's paying off. I can't wait until Mittens out weighs me :)

Our grandpawrents will be here in 5 hours! I can't wait!!!

8 cases of Tiki!

ALAS!!! Our Tiki Shipment from *WILLIE, MURRAY, AND PEARL* arrived! We were both worried that the package got lost. You see, they had a tracking number and sure enough, it said "Arrival at unit" on Saturday!

Granted, I wasn't home due to my wedding, but we were like "Man, the USPS man must have cats!" But thank COD it came today :) Thank you so much guys!! $ is on the way!

In the meantime, me and my beautiful wife Eve, are touring the UK. I'm hoping to have a run in with the Harry Potter cast!

Tomorrow our grandpawrents are flying in from MN until Saturday, so we won't be around much. We're excited for them to meet the raggies :)

Happy Father's Day!!!

I wanted to take a minute or two to wish all the proud fathers a Happy Father's Day!

As many of you know, it was our dad who convinced mom to adopt cats. She's always been a dog lover, but it was dad who converted her! I mean, how many dad's say "The more cats, the merrier?" Heck, if mom asked dad if we could adopt another, I'm pawsitive he'd say "Ok, let's go!"

Our daddy is the bestest! He spoils us rotten!!! Each time they go to PetSmart, he's always looking for new things for us! He spoils us but keeps us grounded. We learned respect from him. He's my role model! While I'm not as muscular as him (he has muscles, while I admit, I'm working on turning my fat into muscle) he's my inspurrration to be healthy :)

I love how dad can bring up 80 pounds of litter without breaking a sweat. Love how he can cook a mean steak on the BBQ!!! Love how he finishes his food like me (we never leave a crumb on the plate!! THAT IS WASTEFUL!!!!) We both like taking tons of naps throughout the day :)

Let's face it, my dad kicks tail and I love him to bits!!!!!

I also wanted to give a shout out to *BOB* as it's his Birthday today!!!!!!! I will be on my best behavior as Pansy will be there :) Thank you again for making our wedding day so special! I'm stiill on cloud 9 that Eve is my wife!!!!

DDP on my wedding day!!!

OMC!! First off, I don't know where my diary went... I could have sworn I wrote one late last night!!! But yesterday (Friday), I received two surprises in the mail!! The first one was a very pretty card my bestie *REMUS* and his mom made for me and Eve for our wedding!! You can view my picture on my main page posing with it :) Thanks so much dude!!! The second one was from my bestie and best dude for my wedding, *SAWYER* who sent me a gift package for my wedding! Inside was a can of Kitty Kaviar, 3 glow in the dark balls, and a cool catnip log toy!!! Thanks so much dude!!! His Quintet is also playing at my wedding TODAY!!!

YES TODAY!!

Today, my beautiful wife-to-be, *EVE* and I will be married!!! Everyone is invited so if you're not already in our wedding group, come on over and join *HERE* !!! The wedding is at Noon Catster time/3PM EST!!! Be there or face the consequences!! Trust me, you don't wanna know!!!!

Also a shout out to *LANCELOT* and *THAI PIE* !! Lancelot is a DDP too and Thai Pie is COTD!!! Concats guys!!!

Did someone say.... TIKI?!?!?!?!?!

Ooooooooooooooooooo! Lots of things to tell my buddies! First off, my beautiful wife-to-be, Eve sent me a pawsome Wedding giftie!! She had sent me 4 candy bars and each was wrapped in a purrrsonalized wrapping! "...Well, of what Boogs?" Well... On one side was the date of our wedding, and on the other side, were a picture of us both in our wedding attire! Mom said she doesn't want to eat the candy bars so to not mess up the wrapping MOL!!!!

I also got a surprise gift from *SAMMIE AND KIKI* !!! Inside they sent me two cans of Tiki (Pink and Yellow), and a cool looking long furrry toy, some small toys (spring, ball, and a wonky one) and a yellow Yeowww triangle!! Thanks so much guys! That was a nice surprise! I can't believe I get married in 3 days!! :)

Now, for the Tiki news... Mom just turned on her cell as, well... She couldn't find it earlier as the raggies had knocked it behind the book shelf. Anymeow, when she checked her voice mail, there was a call from *WILLIE, MURRAY, AND PEARL* from NY! Now brace yourself... His dad had found MOUNDS of Tiki for... HALF OFF!!!! YES!! A CASE OF TIKI=HALF OFF!!! So they had called us wanting to know if we wanted some. Mom said, "OMC YES PLEASE!".

Word is, their dad went up to the counter with bundles of Tiki in his arms :) Can you imagine? So a big shout out to their dad! He soooooooooooo deserves dad of the year award!!! SCORE! Thank you for thinking of us guys!!!!

Time to sleep off this Tiki high :) Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm TIKI!!!!!!!!!!! Pics to follow later tonight!

Evil Vet

Well today I had to go to the V-E-T as I needed my 3 year rabies shot. I figure since I'm getting married this week and me and the Mrs. plan on going abroad for the honeymoon, it was best I get that shot done with you know. Never know what I could pick up while on my honeymoon :)

Also, a month ago, I had a watery eye, and since mom had a spare bottle of clavimox, she thought it was a cold. The clavimox worked, but then my eyes stated getting more brown crusties which I never get. Eye boogers if you will. Well other than me being a few ounces heavier since my last vet visit, I was given Triple Oph w/ Hydrocort. If that doesn't help then they'll try other stuff. I actually had this before when I came home 3 years ago, so here's hoping it is fixed again :) I can't have eye boogers in my honeymoon pictures!!! :)

Nero...

I'm onto you! I'm keeping my eyes pealed for any funny business... I, along with many, have read Simba's latest diary, and seriously... I'm watching you! Even Simba said, "YES PLEASE keep an eye on him". Trust me, you don't wanna mess with a tux!!! Maybe I have to have my entourage of bees pay you a visit? Have you not seen what we can do? I have a nasty stinger! Just ask Pansy :)

In the meantime, I'm getting ready to marry my Evie Eve!!! Her package was sent Friday, so it better get there in time for the wedding!! EEEEP!!! I can't wait!! I had such a pawsome time last night at my Catchelor party!! I, along w/ my dudes, are still trying to recover from all the events. Hehe

Kick Tail Catchelor Party!!

OMC! I just returned from my kick tail Catchelor party that my bestie and best dude, Sawyer threw for me!! And Spot was nice enough to provide the food! Poor guy, I bet he had NO idea how much me and my friends could eat :)

I had a blast!! There was some interesting entertainment that's furrr sure :) Cheetahs you say? What? I'm not sure what you're talking about? You must have had some of the catnip beer that Diego brought! You're not making sense, in fact, you're starting to scare me!! Surely, you are hallucinating!

Time to kick back and relax for a few as I'm beat. My boys sure know how to throw a party!! Thanks guys for everything!!!

Thanks for coming: Sawyer, Hondo, Fido, Mittens, Tiskers, Diego, Reebok, Spot, Jones, BeauBeau, Olliver, Snowmitts, Biscotti, Mr Boots, Orca the Killer Kitten, Gimme, Ambrogino, Sullivan, KiKi, Sammie, Murray, Miles, Bob, Percy, Buda, Bruce the Boss, Gimli, Theo, Ripley, Simba Dude, and Oreo

Yeowww!!!

Yeowwwwwww!! No, that's not my cries of pain after being attacked by someone's army of bees and Raid can *coughPansyandOrca*. But today I received a wedding package from my besties *PANSY AND SULLY!!*

I received a very pretty wedding card for me and the Mrs. Nice handwriting--mine stinks :)

And then I saw not one, but TWO bags of temptations!!! I'm afraid if I eat them, my tux won't fit (and that goes for the one I was born with!). And there's more!! Two pawsome feather toys with lil' balls on the end of them! I LOVE THESE!! I was investigating when the raggies decided to run with them! Mom got them back though :)

Finally, I smelled a pawsome aroma of... YEOWWW CIGARS!!! MINE!!! Ok, now I know how Hondo felt when we were all jonesing his! But these are mine!!!

Thank you so much guys! Pics to be posted later tonight :)

Getting married in 8 days!!!

*gulp* I can't believe the time has come, where I, Boogers, marry my bestie Eve!!! I'm still planning things, and working out for the big day :) I just finished my vows and I hope she likes them :)

Poor Eve wrote me. Appawrently her grandmother is not well :( She's in the hospital :( Purr for Eve and her family. I'm so sad to hear :(

Have a safe and cool weekend. It's so hot here!!!!

NEW TIKI! NEW TIKI! NEW TIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *MERLIN THE CAT WIZARD* just pawmailed me with this *LINK* !!

OMC!! LOOK at the bottom!! NEW TIKI! NEW TIKI!!!!

Bees?

I just got an email from Pansy saying something is coming my way!! I bet you it's a swarm of bees! Why? Well she DID try and gas me out w/ RAID, but little did she know, I had a HP charm over my body, protecting me from such evil.

Seriously, soooooooooo not scared here... No, really, I'm not!

Wedding stress!!!

Well I just got weighed and I'm 1 ounce from being 18 pounds!! See!!! The Wedding is coming up soon and I'm stressin'!!! :) Maybe this wedding can get me down to 17 pounds? My ideal weight is 15-16... *sigh*

Tiskers and Hondo weigh the same, and I think Fido lost an ounce... But Mittens?? HOLY CATS! He is now 15.6 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Even after cutting back EVERYONE'S food portion, the lil' dude is growing!

That'ta boy!

Tagged by Squirrel!!

Ok this is the only time I'm doing this new tag as I have only two weeks until I get to marry my Evie Eve!!!

Here we go:-

5 fabulous things about me:

1. I love baths, live for baths, and I frequently jump in the shower (opposite end of mom) until she goes "BOOGIE! Get out!!" MOL I can't help it! I love baths :)
2. I sometimes get too "relaxed" when people pick me up by my belly... Hopefully Eve will find this charming :)
3. My tongue has a few pig-ment marks on it. Mercy's family's dog has the same thing so we're cool.
4. I take over dad's spot on the bed when he leaves for work :) Mom loves when I sleep next to her as I don't snore like dad :)
5. I am a momma's boy :)
