Dogs in the City tonight

DOGS IN THE CITY! Let's watch dogs in the city tonight. On channel 8, CBS I think. At 7 o'clock central time. Whoooooo.
Timo said he'll hide. He's scared of dogs.

Brown Tabby kittens are on sale

At our local Petstore:
one little three months old brown tabby - $110
two little three months old brown tabbies - $125 total price for both.

What a deal! I told Mom we should get two. They are so cute and you can never have to many brown Tabbies. I just think brown Tabbies are the best. But that's just my purrsonal opinion.

Happy Memeowrial Day every fur. Eat some German Bratwurst and drink Cola with no caffeine and no sugar. I just saw that in the store.

Purrs,
Mietzi

The CRV and Gym Guy

Hi furs:

I wanted to say THANK MEW to Gleek and Tyson who sent something special on my DDP day. Thank you also to all the kitties who left comments. I love comments.

What's the Mietz up to? Not much. Our Cat Recreational Vehicle, with the name Honda, got his much needed bath and he's not stinky at all any more. We have not been allowed to ride in it yet, which I don't understand since it's our CRV. I think Mom is breaking it in for us. She mentioned that it runs for 24 miles on one gallon of milk. I'd gladly run 24 miles to get a gallon of milk. I love milk. Or maybe I could walk 12 miles and get half a gallon?

Mom got rubber floor mats for our CRV. You know what that means. When we finally take a ride in it, we can puke in it.

Mom finally got back to meeting with gym guy yesterday. She had been seriously slacking off. It was so funny. She was stepping on the elliptical steppy thingy and gym guy walks over and says: Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. Where have you been?
Mom is like: um, yeah I've been busy. Work is just crazy you know.
He's like: really? What's going on at work?
Mom says: um, we had our annual meeting and committee meetings and lots of stuff. It should slow down in the summer.
Gym guy: Well, great to have you back.

Way to go, gym guy, keeping Mom accountable.
Mom thinks it's kinda frustrating. She took 786 steps and burned 51 calories. 51? Mom gains 51 calories by just looking at food, MOL.

Have a great week, friends. The weather has been in the lower 80s but I haven't been allowed out much. grrrr

Oh, where do you think our first ride in the CRV should go? (if anypurr says Vet, I'll come over and smack you)

Our new Cat Recreational Vehicle stinks!

Wow, brofur wrote all these diary entries about the car and I end up being a diary pick today. Ladies first, right? Thank you, Diary Lady. Since I'm a diary pick, I thought I'd update you on the great car hunt.

The great car hunt is over! Mom successfully hunted us down a Cat Recreational Vehicle, also known as CRV. Mom gave our CRV a name too. It's Honda. Our CRV was born in 2010 and he has only run 6600 miles so far.

Mom got him Tuesday night from this guy named Dealer. She wasn't even planning on bringing something home, she just wanted to look. Mom was so proud of herself because she haggled successfully, got a good price for the little Pontiac we had, got good financing. Mom was happy, until she drove him home.

The new CRV stinks! Literally!

He is a smoker's CRV. Pew eee. Mom didn't notice when she did the test drive. It was 83 and humid outside and the dealer guy had the AC turned up to the max and the AC has an air filter. See, this would not have happened if I would have helped Mom hunt cars. I would have smelled it right away. Well, the dealer guy said they've only had the CRV for a week and Mom thinks they only vacuumed him out but didn't shampoo yet. Mom has been driving with the windows partly down alot and the moon roof open too. And she leaves him sitting in the garage with all the windows down and roof open. Mom talked to a detailer and next Purrsday our CRV will get a good bath on the inside. Mom already had the cabin filter changed (it was as grey as my friend Roger's fur) and the smell is much better already. Mom also keeps a half a cup of baking soda in the CRV. Bottoms up.

I hope we cats don't need to go anywhere until our CRV has had his bath.

I got to go outside yesterday a bit, Mom right by my side. We've had 91 yesterday, 83 the day before. Lovely.

Have a happy Sunday everypurr,
Mietzi

Need name for orange boy cat

Hi friends:

While my brofur is boring you with one car-related entry after another, I have something much more important to report. A friend of Mom got a one year old cat on Saturday from the Rescue League. (A house is not a home without at least one cat and she had no cats). He has a name that the friend doesn't like. Need some help finding a name for this boy.
Orange, about one year old. Anypurr know some good boy-cat names?
Thank mew.

I'm no Mietzi Mouse - Mom hit me in the eye

That's it. I'm putting Mom on a diet. This morning she put on her pants and *POP* the button flew right off. Mom says it's NOT because she has gained weight. No, the button was just loose. Yeah right. No more cookies, donuts or chocolate for Mom. I'm putting my paw down. Eat some mousies, Mom. They are slimming.

Today at work there was samiches left over from some event that they had. There was Roasted Beef samich and Turkey samich and Hamster samich and some fruit and cookies. Mom could only find one tupperware container. So she put two samiches in the container, together with straw-berries, grapes and cantelope. She drizzled some of that white fruit dip stuff on top and tucked a cookie into the side of the container too. Mom thinks this is fine. It all goes into one stomach.

Mom has this habit of calling me 'Mietzi Mouse'. I don't like it. I'm not a mouse. Today my answer to that name was GACK!

Then she hits me in the eye! She was holding a can of cat food and moving her hand and at the same time I jumped up on the counter and BLAP, I jumped right into her moving hand. So Mom starts saying: Oh Mietzi Mouse, I'm sorry Mietzi Mouse, I didn't mean to hit you. Are you OK Mietzi Mouse? Mietzi Mouse?

I had to shake my head a few times. I told Mom that I'm shaking it off and just stop with the Mietzi Mouse already, I'm OK.
It wasn't bad, really. It was not like when Finney got hit in the eye by his Mom by accident and he wouldn't talk to her for weeks or even months I think. He was upset for a very long time anyway.

Oh, I'm about half done going around to folks and saying my thank yous for all your pressies and things when I was cat of the week and DDP. As soon as Mom stops stuffing her face with left-over samiches I'll get right back to it.

Have a happy fish Fryday.
Your Mietz

Ooooh it's over

Oh my 'Cat of the Week' week is over already. Concats to new Cat of the Week Chloe
http://www.catster.com/cats/886882

I had fun. Mom was so slow in letting me have fun here. Cats send me so much stuff and trophies and pictures and Mom didn't even let me look at some of them until yesterday. I need a new Mom. Maybe Hunter and I can switch Moms? I hear he is sometimes not happy with his Mom either.

It is Wednesday and, what is this? Mom is home already? Usually she doesn't get home until late on Wednesday. Sometimes she helps serve food at her church and there is other stuff on Wednesdays too. Hmm, I wonder if I could help her serve the food? Last Wednesday was cheeseburgers, yum. Mom says she'll still help on Wednesdays once in a while but she's cutting down on her other Wednesday night stuff. It's just getting too much. Yay!

While we're talking about food: do you know a good place to order cat food? PetFoodDirect doesn't have the NEW blue buffalo flavors that we like. I didn't see them anyway. We got to sample those during my Cat of the Week. There is chicken & salmon, chicken & duck, chicken & trout, chicken & turkey. We love the two-flavor ones.

An OFFICIAL thank you note is coming to all of you. Mom needs to help me get that all together now that she's available on Wednesday nights. Thank you so very much for the gifts and pawmails, pictures and friend-requests.

Love ya,
Mietzi

Gee, I'm sorry guys

What do you do with a Mom who never has time for your social life? It's been 82 degrees here from Wednesday until yesterday and I was outside a couple of times. Didn't catch any mousies, Platelicker, sorry.

I see that Diary Gal saw fit to give me a Diary of the Day title today, even tho I haven't written anything.

Mom is not home most Monday nights. Sorry. Thank you for all the comments, gifts and things. I will catch up with you soon. Mom needs the smackey paw I think.

Love ya,
Mietzi

My Cat of the Week week

Furs, I'm sorry for not being here much. Mom's boss broke her wrist, the right one, the one she writes with. So she can't write and Mom has so much work to do. I have never broken anything except Mom's Camel.

I want to thank the Catster Cat for picking little old me as Cat of the Week. I'm just a regular stripey cat. I am really honored. Thank you so much. They picked me because a few nights ago I tore a hole into Mom's Good Book (see last diary entry). Stuff like that gets you the Cat of the Week title. They wrote that I'm a mouser extraordinaire. I like that. Mousing is my favorite thing.

Thank you to all of you who have brought gifts, send pawmails, comments, friend-requests. I'll come around and thank you all purrsonally, eventully :)

We're having pawsome weather, in the 70s all week, very unusual for Iowa this early in the year. Yesterday Mom came home late. She helped serve Cheeseburgers at her Church. They have these activities for kids and things for adults too on Wednesday nights. I could smell Cheeseburgers on her when she finally made it home. Not fair.

Day before yesterday I got to go outside a bit after Mom came home. Mom thought I wandered off too far, so she put me into the bedroom and then Timo and her went back outside. Not fair. Later Mom opened a window for me and I sat there and smelled the air and listened to the birdies. Many of them are back, by the way. I've seen robins.

Monday early morning hours - I needed something from Mom. Mom was sleeping. I meowed. No answer. Now what? Ah, I have an idea. I threw Mom's little jewelry box off the shelf. That made a loud noise. Very good. Mom gets up, chases me out of the bedroom and shuts the door! Not fair.

Monday night - Mom came home late. Weather was pawsome. We didn't get to go out because Mom was tired. Not fair. Checked email. Wow, why so many from Catster? WOW, I'M CAT OF THE WEEK. YIPPEEE.

I think my Cat of the Week week could go a little better. Mom needs to be reminded constantly that I'm Cat of the Week. She needs to give me more treats, more toys, play more with me, spend more time with me. What's wrong with you Mom? Come on. Don't you know I'm the Cat of the Week.

Hugs to you all.
Love ya,
Little wild Mietz
