sorry, derby--mom din't get herself in gear in time to post this yesterday for your purrthday, so here's a belated pair-o-tocks we deddycate to you . . .

ed to the left, xing to the right, making a duo of indignant 'tocks:

XING: what? you DARE to sit on My Mama while I am sitting here?

ED: youdarnbetcha! she was MY mom furst!!

XING: well, here's a moon for YOU!

ED: an' here's one for YOU!

(mom notes: somehow, mooning just doesn't have the same impact when the butts are pointin' AT each other . . . )

weird wednesday

we've told you before about the lady robin who makes her nest efurry year onna ladder by the carport where the vehicles live, an' how much exercise we gets while watchin' her an' the daddy bird flyin' in an' out. well, this last weekend, our daddy was out beside the ladder gettin' ready to go cut some firewood, an' he noticed there was anofur egg inna nest!!! he thought it looked kinda funny, so he stepped closer an' it looked odder still--until he realized it was a black walnut from our tree!!! some silly brushy-tail (we can't say "squirrel" out loud or the dbd has a spazz attack) stashed it there for "later"!! too silly!

tail on tuesday!!

our very own edmund p. hillary

mancat ---- all mancat

this is me, nitro, in my mancatliest mancat-cheesecake pose.

whattaya think, girlcats?

the ed-itor in chief

ed instructs mom as she helps wif a new post. he dictates an' she types, an' makes sure that she's spellin' effurythin' right! that's furry aportant, you know--if yer gonna maintain crebidility as a germalist, you gots to spell right!

thankful thursday

although we dis her a lot, cocoa is really a pretty good sisfur as doggies go. she don't chase us (much), she don't hurt us when she does catch us, she shares sleepin' places, she lets igmu cuddle up to her, she don't bark a whole lot, an' she plays pretty gentle for someone who weighs 6 or 7 times as much as we do! an' she's pretty laid back as this picture shows. we're furry thankful she's our dbd instead of one of those yappy little aliens down the block!

play wif me!!!

rocky: please play with me, nitro! c'mon--wakey-uppie! cocoa is sleepin', too, an' none of the other guys wanna play with me . . . c'mon, nitro!! please????? i'm askin' nice an' pettin' yer paw gently . . . i could be ticklin' yer whiskers or pullin' yer ears. c'mon!!!

nitro: ::opens one eye a teensy bit:: i'm gonna send you to ichiro or nicky fuzzypants if you don't quit buggin' me. THEN you'll find out what it's like to be played wif. now go 'way an' lemme sleep. ::the eye slams shut::

rocky: *sigh* won't anybody make me fly through the air like my namesake? chase me an' chew me an' slather me with malodorous spit???

mom & dad: ewwwwww. no takers here, buddy. you may as well take a nap, too.

NB: we must correct the impression that this post identifies catspit as "malodorous". not so; rocky is the dbd's pal, and therefore is accustomed to being slimed with execrable slobbers of the canine kind. he thinks that ALL spit is the same, because the meowers have nefurnefurnefur put their pristine widdle moufs on him. he was just desperate to have someone to play with.

tufty toezies!

My Mama refers to the hairs in my toezies as "xing's ice skates". i dunno why; she KNOWS i nefur put my dainty paws in ice or snow!!

holed up!

igmu! you better be careful--i don't think nitro's lasers are set on stun!!

i know NUTHING!!!

honest, mom!! i dunno nuthin' 'bout nocat knockin' ofur the pile of stuff onna footstool!! i'm lookin' an' lookin' an' i don't see no villaincats nowhere!!!!

3-cat night

it was furry cold last night--a 3-cat night!

well, ok; one of them was the dbd's nasty-lookin' squirrel (rocky), but nitro & ed like him better than iggy, acause rocky don't bite their ears or shove 'em over to hog the best spots on dad's lap!!

wordless wednesday

toezies

edmund's patient toezies, as they wait to pounce on a crumb of peanut butter sammich! he is polite an' doesn't grab for the sammich, so he gets more than the other, pushier, cats. which is just wrong; initiative should be rewarded!!!!

we found a BIG kitty

maybe this one can get a job in toosahn, chasin' them ratties!!

thankful!

we is furry thankful that we din't go to toosahn wif our mom when she went to visit gramma. although we'd like to see gramma, if there is ratties there big enuf to need this trap, we doesn't wanna be there!

shopping list

what do you suppose will be on ed's list??

brofurly love . . .

errrrrr . . . licks

akshully, it was a taste-test. there was fightin' an' bitin' goin' on after about 10 seconds of this, an' the red plastic bowl of apples to iggy's left went flyin' offa the table. mom kin be furry cranky befur she's had her coffee!
