Presents, Presents Presents!

I'm such a lucky kitty. Thank you all for being my furriends and sending such lovely gifts.

Today is my Birthday!

I turn 3 today! I guess I'm supposed to be older and wiser now. I will have to embrace this new role as I have a new baby sister, Cookie, to mentor and she looks up to me. I'm not having any formal festivities, but rather a drop in style party. So click on over to my page, have a cupcake and sign my guestbook, it's time to celebrate!

The secret is a Cookie

Well, it not a secret anymore. My new baby sister Cookie arrived home this weekend. She's a cute ball of fluff who likes to run and play, just what I wanted! So if you'd like to welcome my new sister just click on over to her page and ask her to be your furriend!

We've got a secret!

We've got a secret, can you guess what it is?

Miss Manners heard my cry for help!

Well apparently there is some hope for me and Miss Manners paid me a little visit. My newest quirk has come to life and it is a very polite one. My Daddy has had a cold for the last few weeks and has been sneezing alot. As he was sneezing more and more he noticed something. Every time he sneezes I say "bless you", but in cat language of course.
Daddy: Achoo
Minka: Merow
Daddy: Achoo!
Minka: Merah

It doesn't matter if I am beside him, across the room or sleeping, its the same thing...
Daddy: Achoo
Minka: Ma!

The humans are very entertained by this, but I say it's only polite.

Dear Miss Manners.... I need help!

I am told that my manners are appalling.... strange... it has never occurred to me. Mom says case in point! I think I will object to this accusation, I am still young you know. You can't expect me to become a cultured lady overnight. In the meantime here are the top five reasons I need a little visit from Miss Manners

1. When it is time for food, I barge through Marvie & Milo, and gobble it down. I have be known to actually put my paw on their face push them out of the way.

2. I'm always taking toys from Milo and Marvie. If it looks like they're having fun with it, then I want to be the one having fun, not them. It takes me all of about one minute flat to scoop up and hoard all three catnip bananas when Mom puts them out for us.

3. I'm a jealous kitty. Whenever anyone else is getting attention, I decide I want it more. I rush in and not so subtly take their spot.

4. I always take the shortest distance between point A and point B. It does not matter if I have to push Milo off the window sill to achieve this or step on Marvie's head.

5. I have no respect for personal space. I force my affections on my brothers. Who wouldn't want to share a sleepy spot sized for one with their favorite sister?

My Pet Peeve has finally been exposed!

I am so easy going Mom didn't know if I would ever have a pet peeve. Well now the cat is out of the bag - so to speak.
For I while Mom has noticed that I love water and hang around the sink, but when it came time for her to brush her teeth I would be no where to be found. Strange, she thought, Minka must have important kitty things to do at those times.
Then the other day, she brushed her teeth and then picked me up. She blew in my face, since she knows I like that (under normal circumstances!). Well I finally had to tell her, I couldn't keep it in anymore. I squinted my eyes, scrunched up my face, turned my head and let out a MER-AH! How repulsive - MINT! I made Mom put me down and I gave the ol' "I'm totally disgusted" paw flick. I don't understand the humans. They have a choice! They should be brushing their teeth with tuna juice and yogurt paste, what's with the mint?

It's my Birthday!

Guess what, it's my Birthday today! Wow I can't believe it 2 years old and 8 lives remaining. I'm told I'm supposed to be a big girl now, no more of my kitten type antics, Yeah, right...! Anyways it's been a good year, I've settled into my new home, my brothers love me (most days!), my Mommy and Daddy love me, I have free reign to be myself - Life is good.

The Carnage Continues

Mom's still keeping track of all the destructive things I do. I don't know why, I will continue to be me, destroying things in the process whether she notes it down or not....

Recent conquests
1. Another broken glass
2. Barfed on comforter
3. Ripped comforter (I'm not sure if this really counts since I already stained it with the above mentioned barf)
4. Ripped screen window in the bedroom
5. Ripped screen window on the sliding door (honestly, if Mom insists on leaving the windows open, I MUST chase the bugs outside by jumping and hanging onto the screen, so I'm not sure this is my fault).
6. Several licked photographs, and chewed scrapbooking paper.
7. Chewed the kitchen blinds
8. Ingestion of an elastic (this isn't technically destruction, but it does cause Mom some anxiety!)
9. Ingestion of the tinsel off my wand toy.

That's all for now!

Spring is here and the flies are TASTY!

When Mom came home from work yesterday, she brought a treat with her, a fly! He just buzzed on in, and I didn't waste any time preparing my attack. Mom hadn't witnessed my fly hunting skills yet and boy was she impressed. I sprinted through the house, with my eye on the fly until I trapped him in the window, then, BAM! I caught him with my paws and scooped him into my mouth. Mmmm, yummy.... it was a bit chewy, but still flavourful!
