a VERY familiar look!!

our mom found a link to this picture on a website about festivals in her home town, berwyn, illinois.

we was surprized skeezix wasn't at the wheel, because it is so perfectly SKEEZIX! since he lives in catifornia--the home of the american car culture--we figgered he might wanna haf one custom-built an' use this as a guide.

(peeyes: this festival was called "cartopia", an' took place in the shopping plaza where the famous sculpture, "spindle" was located: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(sculpture) you may haf seen it inna movie "wayne's world", one of mom's all-time favorites!!)

oh, noes!!!

our good bud on facebook just posted this warning for springfield and environs:

Getzger Cat sez: ***WARNING*** Beware kitties on the southside! Ginger and Gary went for a drive last night and saw dozens of vishus deers invading the city. Some even had antlers. And they looked very hungry. *shudder*

what if they work their way out to the west side, where we live?????

oh, right. they'll prolly get shot; this IS the ozarks, after all, where efurrybean has a gun, an' money's tighter on the west side than the south side where the rich beans live.

(mom's note: yes, it's true. the city council has been mulling over a "herd thinning season" on deer within the city limits!)

fur all our furriends: video catnip!

errrrr, fishnip.

mom took this moovey last weekend when her an' her furriend miss laura an' miss laura's furriend miss la vata went onna tour of water gardens. there was lotsa ponds wif fishes, but mom said these was the most beautyfullest fishes, an' thought we would enjoy sharin' 'em wif you. we sure would like to haf a pond like this in OUR yard. maybe after daddy builds the screen porch for us onna back of the house, he will put one in there for us!*

*dad's retort: when pigs fly.

kitties' re-retort: (well, pigs has flown ofur skeezie's house an' jeter harris's house lately, so nefur say nefur!)

we wants one a these!!!

splinters an' splatters

lemme tell ya, if ya wanna wake up yer beans wif a bang, just push a jar of spaghetti sauce off the table onto the quarry tile floor inna middle of the night! it scared th’ lights an’ liver outta me, as well as a lotta hairs an’ about one anna half lives! dad watches war stories onna talkin’ picture box alla time, an’ this sounded just like somma them big bombs.

all i wanted was somma them tasty salsa-an-cream cheese flavored crackers inna box mom left onna table. i fooled her, ‘cause i left ‘em there unbothered for two whole days, so she wouldn’t fink i wanted them! then the beans went to bed, an’ i waited a long, long time before i started wrasslin’ that box. it was tougher than i ‘spected, an’ i hadda get rough wif it, bunny-kickin’ it an’ all. i was just about to get the inside skin open an’ scoop out a pawful, when a bunny-kick backlash got the jar, an’ ofur the side it went! KER-WHAM!!!

i was inna livin’ room under the recliner before i knew what was happenin’! then dad anna dambrowndog came outta the bedroom, an’ i got a quick, comprehensive refresher course in the bad werd list, but din’t learn any new ones this time. i think he was still too sleepy to make any up. acourse, dbd wanted to lick the sauce, an’ it was fulla glass pieces, so dad used up about half the list gettin’ her away from the sauce, an’ then the other half cleanin’ it up. he mopped an’ ran the rug sucker onna tiles, an’ then mopped again. he was not happy. i laid low, an’ din’t even come out fur breakfast!

it was all mom’s fault fur leafin’ them crackers out there to taunt me, an’ ya know what? she nefur woke up all through the whole thing! that chapped dad’s cheeks, too;-)

tabby tuesday - ed's turn

certain cats (ed) haf pointed out that nitro has been featured onna blog WAAAAAAAYYYYYY too many times lately, so here is our own ed, caught inna act of pineapple leaf nomming.

howsomefurr, as soon as the flashy box flashed, he immejitly began actin' as if he was only smellin' the leafs. but the leaf closest to you, gentle viewer, tells the tale!

mom took it away frum him after the photo shoot acause she was afurraid he'd cut his mouf onna sharp edges if he kept on nomming. an' later on, dad beheaded it, skint it, an' chopped its innards into li'l pieces, which we din't any of us like AT ALL!!

pawdicure time!

you may recall that nitro starred in his own moovey on the subject of pawdicures quite some time ago. well, today he revisits the topic in a more "do-it-yourself" mode, with only a little help from the pawdicurist. he regrets that this is just raw footage, an' he's furry embareassed acause he has no control whatsoefur ofur the moovey-taker who sez she's sleepy an' if he don't take it like this, he's gonna get it . . . well, nefur mind. we won't repeat that rude remark. so anyway, here's nitro:

the pawdicurist was furry helpful an' laid back, so nitro repaid him in kind:

the moovey-taker . . . well, we won't say what she's gettin'.
