Happy Father's Day

Since Maizy is walking around with her head in the clouds, I want to wish all The Dad's a happy Father's Day. Whether you have human kids, furry kids or both - remember you are special! I already gave The Dad my gift - I sat on the chair next to him on the porch and gave him my extra cute meow, and let him scritch my tummy. He seems quite pleased with his gift.
On another note, Mom got us a furminator the other day, and I actually kinda like it. I don't like the slicker brush, but this one feels good, and wow Mom says she could prob make a pair of mittens out of the fur from me! Have a wonderful day all you Dads!

oops

I meant to type Go HAWKS in my last entry! I guess my paw was sore from the blood test... and also I tore right though the new cloth carrier Mom got, so I had to ride in the plastic one again. I guess I did not know the strength of my manly cat paws! But I was so good at the vet that I got some sardine in aspic food (Mom saves that only for special times) and I got to wander around in the yard on my leash while Mom planted a flower by the fountain. I meowed at the birds to come down & play, but for some reason they don't wanna. It is supposed to rain AGAIN today (although we did not get near the rain that everyone has been flooded so bad had gotten) and it is rather a sleepy day. Both me & Maizy were still dozing at 7 this morning when Mom got up. She said "hey you lazy bones how come you don't sleep like this on Saturdays?" hehe our little secret!

vet checkup

We went for our 6 month check up today & we are doing good! I had my blood pressure checked and they said I am great! We have nice clean teeth & everything. Momma was very happy. So no doc visits til December.
GO HAWS!!

summer!

Well, yesterday was Maizy's birthday. For some reason she kept thinking it was bird day. Goes to show how well she listens to Mom...it was her birthday, and she is now 5 years old. We each got a new soft carrier that Mom can use a shoulder strap (although I am not a little boy, so I think it would hurt) or handles, but they seem pretty cool, and not quite so scary as the hard one that looks like a cave. We will be testing them out this month, as it is our 6 month checkups. Mom takes us every six months to make sure we are healthy. yick...vet...But at least I don't need any shots or anything, and she usually buys me a toy when we go, so not all bad I guess. We were away from Catster for a few days, Mom has been busy making the yard all pretty, and boy there are lots of changes. BUt it is really neat that we got free gifts to give. That is way cool too. Happy summer everyone!

sad day

Well after we had such a good day at our house, we read the sad news about poor Mango cat. Mom was crying she felt so very bad for her. That little kitty went through so much, and kept on purring. At least she is now pain free & having fun at the bridge with all of the other fur angels. We just sincerely hope that justice will be served, and the person responsible will be penalized for their acts.

On a little lighter note, Maizy is still floating around here (rolls eyes) that she was cat of the day yesterday. But it is ok, she deserves it - she had a hard start too, and last year was she was so scared when we went to stay at Nana's house while Mom & The Dad varnished the kitchen floor - that she climbed inside & got stuck in Nana's fold out couch. Boy -that was some excitement. I had fun at Nana's, but I guess since I was an outside cat for a few months, I don't let anything scare me. Well, the sun is finally out today, so that means I am off to nap on the screen porch in the sun on... ahem my chair (The Dad actually thinks it is his) ha! meows - The Tiggman

Wowy Meows!

Pretty neat, my sister Maizy is cat of the day today! She is very excited, and she actually played chase with me a little this morning. Mom says it made her day too. So thank you to whoever decided that stuff!

It's my Birthday!

Wow Mom says it is hard to believe that I am two years old already! We are not for sure exactly what day I was born, but Mom said we would celebrate the whole weekend! Mom told me how glad she was that I ran to her that morning from under the truck, and how much she loves me forever, and that I am her baby boy. It was great -I snuggled with Momma on the bed in the morning both days, and I hung out on the screen porch all day. I got some extra turkey last nite, and Mom says she has some chicken for me today! And she ordered me some more furry mousies with the rattle in them. Even Maizy wasn't mean to me today. I am one happy kitty!

ahhh finally

Mom & The Dad finished putting the screens up on Tuesday night. Mom says it was pretty cold & her toes & fingers were frozen, but they finished just for me cuz they love me! Of course I was out there supervising. The screens are nicer than the aluminum ones. They are a pet-tuff screen, a heavy black plastic over some kind of white fiber. Mom says they sort of remind her of plastic canvas but finer & flexible. I don't care I just know I have been out side almost non stop. And you can see really good out of these too! HOORAY!!

Evil Mothra

I was outside on my leash with Mom Friday evening- (The Dad got a couple screens put up, but it has been raining ..Hiss! so he could not finish..maybe today) So anyways, we were coming back in and this huge moth was by MY back door. Now, I have snarfed the tiny ones up, so this one must be tasty right? NO WAY, All I did was take a little taste, and blech ick yuck, it tasted so bad, I mean really bad. I shot backwards, and I started to gag, and spit, and shake my head. Mom picked me up and saw that I had foam coming from my mouth! She was very worried, and ran with me to the bathroom. She washed my face off, and helped me to rinse my mouth out. It tasted so bad.....I was a little sick to my tummy, but after a while, I was ok, and ate my wet food. Mom of course, was hovering around me waiting for me to...I dunno turn green or break out in purple spots or something. I guess she worried because of my heart condition, that I would get sick. I am fine though.
But word to the wise my fellow kitties - DO NOT eat an Isabella Tiger moth. They are very common in Illinois, and they are YUCK-O.
