Window Washers and Bobcats!

Yesterday was a test of bravery.

First we had some guy here washing our windows. He washed them from the outside first, and we all sat around looking at him with his magic washer wand.

Then he came inside to wash the windows. Gleek slept the entire time on the sofa. Violet was sleeping on a chair. Samoa and Inky were walking around unafraid. I was hiding. But then later I decided he was a cool dude because he owns a cat. So, I came out of hiding and sniffed his stuff he had in the hallway.

We told him that we'll be putting kitty noseprints back on the window after he leaves!

Then the MRS. and the DD went to dinner for their 26th wedding anniversary. Some friends joined them, and then they came back to our house. They all went outside to chillax and have dessert.

While they were talking, they heard a buzzing noise which sounded strange cause who hears bees buzzing at night when it is dark? They didn't think anything about the noise until later.

The friends left and then about 5 minutes later the DD went to put the recycling can at the street. He looked over in the driveway and saw a big animal. At first he thought it was a coyote, but then he realized it was much bigger and it had a short tail and ears with hair tufts like mine!

It was a Bobcat!

The Bobcat took one look at my DD, and then he peed on a bush right by our driveway . . . . the Bobcat peed on the bush, not my DD. I think my DD was about ready to pee in his pants!

All the MRS. friends on Facebook are teasing that the Bobcat needs a name and that he will be moving into the laundry room! MOL!

So, now, the MRS. thinks the buzzing noise they heard might have been Mr. Bob hissing. Maybe the neighbors had their dog out in the backyard, and Mr. Bob was hissing at the dog. Or maybe Mr. Bob was hissing at the MRS., DD, and their friends!

Wowza, don't we have the coolest stuff happen at out house?

Cat of the Day!

Dang, I thought I was Cat of the Day today, but when I looked closer, I realized it was Xander!

I wonder if Xander licks bananas or sucks on his MRS. arm? Remember the picture of me checking on our cat tent? Well, look at this one of Xander! I think we are brothers separated at birth!

Somehow he ended up in Wisconsin!

He even has an older sister just like me. I wonder if he likes her as much as I like Samoa?

Be sure to stop by and ask him to be pals. Tell him Newman sent you!

I See the Super Moon Arising . . . . .

Did you all have a fun Kentucky Derby/Cinco de Mayo yesterday? None of us picked the right horse, but Samoa said we should have known that I'll Have Another would win.

The horse was named that because his owner's wife would ask the owner if he wanted another cookie, and he would say, I'll have another, and since Samoa is named for a cookie, she should have picked that horse.

Oh well, did you cats also see that ginormous moon last night? It was a super moon, alright, and the MRS. said that super moon has turned me into a bad boy!

I got everyone up around 5:20 this morning. It was easy to do - I just go over to any window and start messing with the blinds. The MRS. pops out of bed and gets me away from the blinds, and then we start all over again!

When the DD woke up, I got locked out of the bedroom, but that is okay because I have tactics that work for that closed door too. I rattle it, and then I hit the little springy door stop thingy that is attached to the door. She finally got up at 6:15 to get me my breakfast!

Oh yeah, I'm also featured over at Speechless Sunday today for any of you girls that wanna check out my handsomeness! Click on the picture to blow it up so you can see my baby blues!

Today starts Be Kind to Animals Week. I decided to give Violet a bath cause he stinks, so I've already been kind. What are you going to do to be kind to animals?

If you have time, check out all the cool cat stuff over at the MRS. auction. She is trying to reach her goal for the Boob Walk this September. Here is the Boob Auction Blog!

Have a fun day!

A Raw Deal!

The MRS. is thinking of feeding some of us raw food. What, do I look like a cave cat?

I know our pals, Toffy and Vanessa, eat raw food but I think that is because they are from Canada.

The MRS. told me the food comes in frozen round nugget like things and she defrosts it and then we gnaw on it like a bunch of Neanderthals.

The MRS. and Leo's Mommy went to the Moderncat studio this week. The lady who owns Moderncat was talking about her ten cats and how she feeds them raw food. For a treat they get raw chicken wings!

Dang, that might be pawsome to get a whole chicken wing to carry around the house!

For now, she bought some freeze dried treats and has been sprinkling it on our food - mainly to get Gleek to eat his wet food. Recently he refuses to eat his wet food unless the MRS. puts some dry kibble pieces in it. He isn't supposed to eat dry food, but he loves those freeze dried treats, and has been gobbling up his wet food.

Do any of you non-Canadian cats eat raw?

Who Wants Me?

I'm up for adoption.

The MRS. says she is tired of me waking her up before 7 a.m. every morning.

The DD says he is tired of me bullying Samoa, er, I mean, Tagalong.

Leave a comment in this diary and tell me why your house would be the place for me to come live!

Remember, I'm cute, and I use the litterbox.

Bravest Cat in the All of the Land!

Now that I'm three, I have to start acting like a big boy. So, I decided last night that I was going to be very brave.

The MRS. and the DD had friends come over for dinner. They have two teenagers who like cats, but they've never met me because I always hide.

While everybody ate dinner, we had to be locked in the bedrooms so we wouldn't climb on the counter and be all neanderthal and stuff. They don't have animals, so they would probably freak out to see us doing what cats do!

All us boys were in the big bedroom, and Samoa was in the guest room. After dinner, they were playing cards, and the MRS. came back to open our door.

I wasn't hiding, and I was right at the door. She said we could come out and visit if we wanted to. So, what did I do? I strutted my big boy self right out to the dining room! I didn't even get all wide-eyed!

I even laid down in the hall and watched them play cards! Of course, Violet was right up next to them, but he is old, and you don't have to be that friendly until you're at least six. I've got three more years before I have to be super friendly!

I went in the kitchen, and the man they call Bill came into the kitchen to check on the score of the basketball game. I looked at him and decided to move a little farther away, but I didn't run away completely!

The MRS. kept saying stuff like, Newmie, you're so very brave, and I'm so proud of you. Now, just because I'm a big boy doesn't mean I have to give up sucking on her arm. Big boys are allowed to keep doing that!

Cat of the Day!

Wowza, I couldn't believe it when I saw my face on the homepage today! And I was happy that my pals, Da Tabbies O Trout Towne, are still on the homepage too as Cats of the Week! We're both featured in that magazine that I was telling you about. Monster sent us a couple of copies of the magazine, and guess what? Da Tabbies are going to pawtograph a copy and send it to me, and I'm going to pawtograph a copy and send it to them!

Now, I have something funny to tell you about the homepage. Being Cat of the Day sort of reminds me of the first part of the ads that are right below my picture.

I'll try anything once . . . . . . gold-leafed eyelids!

It happened to me . . . . . . burlesque gave me my groove back!


Thanks to all my friends who are helping me celebrate today! Have a fun day, and stay away from gold-leafed eyelids!

Her Left Arm!

I knew you cats would want to see a video of me sucking on the MRS. arm. She is usually sitting on the human litterbox when I suck on her arm, and she said we can't video that for some reason.

So, I waited until she was in the DD's office sitting on a chair, and I jumped in her lap and made her roll up her sleeve so I could suck on my favorite arm.

She told the DD to get the video camera, and he got all artsy fartsy and video taped me so you can see me in her lap, and you can see my face in the mirror! I like to knead while I suck, and you can see my paws opening and closing if you look in the mirror.

The video is on my page, and you can also click here to see it!

Let me know what you think about my arm sucking technique!

Our Irish Names

I hope you cats know that St. Patrick's Day will be here soon, and you have to get an Irish name!

I'll tell you about the names we picked:

Samoa McBoa - you already know why she picked this name - she loves boas!

Violet O'Whiner - we all picked this name for Violet because he is the talker in the house. When it is time to eat, he whines until we get fed. It is pretty annoying, but it works!

Gleek O'Hare - Gleek picked this name because he used to protect our old vets from rabbits. They are afraid of rabbits and that is why cats have to spend the night there sometimes.

Inky O'Shea - Inky picked this name because O'Shea means fine, stately. I think he is trying to be H.o.H.!

Newman McNolan - I picked this Irish name because Nolan means famous! And you all know what a famous author I am, and I'm even going to be in a magazine!

Don't forget to pick your Irish name!

I Need an Agent!

I'm going to be world famous when it hits the streets! Are you wondering what I'm talking about? It isn't Poopology - it's even bigger!

Do you remember me telling you that Monster called to interview me? Well, he has interviewed me twice, but he wanted to wait and include me in a big article over at the Humane Society of the United States of America after my e-book came out.

So, he waited until all the hoopla over my book died down, and then his article came out. Here is the on-line version, but he is going to mail me the real magazine!

I'll probably have to pawtograph several and send them out to all my fans. I might even have to send one to my new best friend - Jackson Galaxy!

Monster is going to need an agent too because his picture is in the on-line article. OMC - I just realized my picture is there too. If you click on the little arrow under Monster's picture, you'll see my picture! Kitty Pryde, Harrison, and Da Tabbies O Trout Towne are also mentioned, and there is more about them here (with pictures too):

Here is the second part of the article with lots of cool stuff!

Thanks, Monster, for writing that great article. You can thank your Mom too cause I'm sure she helped you write it!
