our mom has done something VERY bad!

at least, that's what we think. y'know that squirter thing that gets you all wet when you're doing something that you shouldn't? we watched in horror from the Big Litterbox doorway this morning as she used it to blast herself in the HEAD--repeatedly!!!!! YIKES!!!! =8-O

it must have been horrybul for her; when she came out, her hairs had gone all curley, just like she says will happen to us if we accidentally stick our claws in the little 'lectric holes in the wall! why would she DO this? what could she have done that she felt she deserved this drefful punishment??? is our mom losing her marbles??

nip! Nip!! NIP!!!

mistress of the obvious . . .

this toon sez it all!!!

sleepy, snowy saturday

remember, folks--it's the middle of april in southern missouri

ed catches a cuddly nap on mom's lap by the woodstove, while . . .snow whirls down around our barn . . .
the irises and surprise lilies look furry disappointed (mom even heard the robins saying bad words), an'
the poor trees that suffered so in the ice storm have snowy insults piled upon injuries, as they struggle to put out some greenery despite their losses.
sadly, there are lotsa trees in a 50 mile swath all along from oklahoma/kansas right through missouri that look like these because of the january 15th ice storm. *sigh* mom says her druid is hurtin'. we din't know she had one, but we feel sorry for him. lotsa fev-vers won't haf places to live this summer.

thursday 13 - quotes about cats . . .

collected from the innernets, of course:

1. Any question addressed to a cat can be counted as rhetorical.
2. An aquarium is just interactive television for cats.
3. Cat rule: Don’t bite the hand that feeds you; just bite the one that won't feed you fast enough.
4. Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
5. Cats instinctively know the exact moment their owners will wake up. Then they wake them 10 minutes sooner.
6. Cats seem to go on the principle that it never does any harm to ask for what you want.
7. Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say that the cat died nobly.
8. I have studied many philosophers and many cats. The wisdom of cats is infinitely superior.
9. People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
10. There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats.
11. There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
12. You know it's time to shave your legs when the cat uses them for scratching behind its ears.
13. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a cat.

we are gonna let her post a few photos from her day on the weekend, so stay tuned!

mom's birthday

it's our mom's birthday today. here is the card we gots for her!!she's takin' the day off from day hunting, an' she an' her ladyfriend ginger (who also has four kitties, so she's automatically OK in our book) are planning what we heard mom call a "go-to-hell" day--we really don't unnerstand that. we thought the point was to avoid going there . . .

wacky wednesday

our wacky dad. he saw max's commander kitty tower, so he hadda get one. he doesn't even have a tail to help him balance gracefully, so we were a little worried as he crawled from branch to branch. and since he doesn't have claws, he was rubbing a big piece of metal on the branches. every once in a while, he'd make some noise, but it didn't sound much like meowing . . . . we're furry concerned about his mental health; is this a "spring" thing with beans?(mom: actually, he was trying to trim out the last of the ice storm damage, but only spiderman could manage that without a bucket-truck, so the tippy-top snags will remain.)

"cat tale" tuesday

look, mom!! somebody wrote a book about xing!
      no, ed. that's a picture of somecat that looks a lot like our xingxing.
did she pose for the picture?
      prolly not. i haven't seen any royalty checks in her name at the mailbox lately.
well, what is it then? it's got about a thousand kitty stinks on it!!
      that's a book about a girl and her kitty, so i suppose beans who love kitties have read it, and their kitties have investigated it just like you're doing.
why is there a book about a girl and her kitty?
      well, from the couple of pages i have read so far, they go into the future to help people.
help people in the future? why don't their OWN cats help them?
      ed, even in our real world, not everybean has a kitty or kitties. or even a woofie.
*gasp!* why efurr not?
      good question. because they don't know any better, i suppose.
well, i still don't see why they hadda go.
      maybe they don't have any kitties in the future, and they need to see one.
*wheeze! gasp! choke* (faintly:) no kitties?
      i don't know, ed. it's just an idea. i've only just begun to read the book. i'll tell ya how it comes out.
oh, mom! if there's no kitties, i don't wanna know!!!
      ok, ed. i'll make up something and won't tell you if there's no kitties.
*shiver* oooooooooo. even for a kitty with laser eyes, THAT's too scary to think about!!

ATTENTION, DREAD PIRATE BLOGGER!!!!
