stoopid cocoa!

mom's cryin', an' it's all cocoa's fault. when mom got home for lunch, she let her out to go pee, an' cocoa ran an' grabbed a robin an' kilt it even though mom was yellin' at her to stop before she even got to the birdie. broke its neck. it had just caught a big ol' worm, an' it wasn't even halfway swallowed yet. mom lost her cool and whacked cocoa onna head wif her shoe to make her let go of the birdie. when she picked it up to go bury it, she saw that it had a white coating ofur one eye, so it nefurr even saw the damdog coming. we hopes it wasn't one of the little fev-vers we watched grow up onna carport this year. that would be too sad. we're furry glad we don't go outside an' do bad things, 'cause gettin' whacked onna head wif a shoe would prolly kill us!

mom's still cryin', an' cocoa's got a time out inna bafroom, 'cause mom don't wanna lay eyes on her. she's gonna be there a long, long, long time. mom's goin' back to work an' won't be home until after six. if cocoa's lucky, dad'll get home before that.

damdog, makin' our mom cry. she really suffers when little things get hurt or die, an' seein' it happen has just borked her brain. are your beans this goofy? it's not like it was one of us or anything. guess she just loves all li'l critters, even ones she doesn't know.

widebody wednesday

need we say more?

YAY!!! dad's better

poor ol' dad is no longer green-faced. the pee-problem doctor told him the rock was only 1 anna haff centymeters, too little to worry about needin' a noperation, so that's good. what's bad is that until the rock comes out by itself, he's gonna have these hurtin' spells. so if it hurts again, he has medysin he can take for the hurty. or maybe it's gone already. nobean knows. at least he knows what it is now an' isn't afurraid somethin' permanently gnarly is happenin' to his innards.

one of the beans who comes in to dad's store says he had a rock like that, too. only his was 11 anna haff centymeters big. dad thinks his hurts like pushin' a tater through a straw, but that ofurr poor bean was tryin' to push a nellyfunt!

thanks to all of you who worried and purred wif us!!

an' now, on with the show:we was good brofurs tonight: we helped nelson while he ate supper. we watched his chows so they din't run away while he was getting a drink of water! why does mom holler on us when we do this?? she says we makes him nervous. what's to be nervous about? it's not like it's bean food or anything else good, like hammm. we wouldn't put the bitey on his chows. nefurr. not us.

green faced dad

yesterday afternoon dad turned kinda green in the face an' whimpered a lot, so after supper mom took him away in the big red truck to the bean ER. they din't come home until after the middle of the night. there was a furry smart CAT at the ER who looked him ovurr furry closely inside an' out, an' then told the ofurr bean vets that he has a rock in his kid me. now he hasta go see anofurr bean vet who specializes in pee problems to get it out. we are furry proud to know that one of our kind was so smart and contributed to his care. we will continue home care, if he lets us. although so far, he has refused alla fishie flakes we has offered him.

since today is sunday an' alla bean vets are out golfin', he's takin' some medysin that makes him smile a lot. we thought that meant we could go cuddle on his lap but he keeps shovin' us off. that's ok; we'll wait until he naps (which he's doin' a lot of, too), an' make ourselves at home!

since there are more bean vets and probly an operation in his future, mom sez she may not be home to turn on the puter much for a couple of days. we just won't know until the pee problem doctor tells him what's happenin'. they told us not to fret, that dad'll be fine, but routines might be upset for a day or two. we hopes this doesn't mean we're gonna get fed late.

we would certainly like to know how he got that rock in there in the first place. so would he; he swears he would nefurr do it again, if he knew!

fev-ver friday

lookit the li'l fev-ver who was peepin' an' chirpin' outside our back door!! he was hollerin' for his mama to come feed him, an' she was alla way ofurr here inna yard!he din't act like he wanted to play wif us, although we 'vited him through the window wif great big smiles, so he flew up onna shed roof, an' mama joined him there.

widebodied wednesday

sir edmund the extremely floofy, and an innocent bystander, nels. nels looks quite large next to edmund due to the foreshortened view of ol' swagbelly. trust me, there's no comparison--nels weighs 9.8 lbs, ed comes in at 23! >;-) nitro)

tummy tuesday - getzger

this is miss ginger's "watch cat", getzger. he is a blue abbysinian kitty, an' he keeps himself busy alla time. he is just flat nosey an' into efurrything. he patrols the house constantly, just like skeezy, 'cause he's their safety officer. it just drives his mama nutz, but they are safe from intrusions of all kinds, except for the ones getzger causes! ;-)

mancat monday

we told nitro he was gonna take center stage on mancat monday, but DIN'T tell him we were gonna post the candid of him slickerin' himself up for the photo shoot. WOW! is he M-A-D!!! *giggle* xing & ed *smirk*

Mancat Monday!!

well, heck! we had a fine post lined up, and DPB saved the picture to the same server that the vanished picture of mom's nose-holes is on. so you can't see THIS one, either. so we started to make a whole new post, an' DPB won't let us upload anyfing. we are peevish. we'll try later.

xingxing wears a wig!

in answer to the challenge of anastasia (of the cat realm), here is our dingy sisfur, xingy, in anastasia's pink wig. styled most becomingly, we think, even if she IS our sisfur.

sleepy sunday

edmund--dreaming of his beloved, miss midnight! *sweet dreams, ed!*

(mumbling in sleep): oh, they are, they are! ;-) purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . .

INDEPENDENCE!!!

freedom is furry important to kitties AND beans!
please remember those who gave it to us,
those who kept it for us,
and those who still protect it for us!!


we hope you has a safe, happy day!

just for the sake of our sanity . . .

NOTE: we are re-posting this one just as a test. this graphic image's href begins http://bp1.blogger . . . an' the one with the here-again-gone-again picture of mom begins wif http://bp3.blogger. if this one stays, we'll know it's DPB's server. we are just terminally curious about this. why not? we're cats!!*tee-hee* mom allus laughs at us an' tells us how lazy we are, specially onna weekends. she thought she'd keep the camera handy to get pictures of us sleepin', but guess what? she fell asleep, an' now we get to show you the view we see from her frontal appendages! scary, huh? we figger we'll hafta pay that guy named "hell" that she's allus threatenin' us with if we do somethin' she gets mad about, but we think this shot is worth it!

we's cornfused

we don't see the "mom's snoozin'" sunday picture today. does anyone else? is DPB on a bender again, or are we just silly? the html text says it's there, but we don't see it--but it's showing our little woofie-buddy, jake (who is recovering from parvo!). any thoughts on this selective picture showing?

sunday snooze . . . an' it ain't us!

NOTE: sometimes this picture is visible, sometimes it isn't. we think DPB is maybe having server trouble? has anycat had this problem before? we even tried re-posting anofur post, an' it doesn't show. phhhllllllllbbbbbbbt! (razzberry!)

wacky picture wednesday

this was k.c., the kitty who lived at the place where mom hunts during the day. she lived there for two whole years. she liked to sleep in drawers in funny positions. the kitty got out one evening when a bean came in late, an' was gone two whole days. the people at the next door hunting place found her in one of their trucks! that episode caused so much heartache for mom an' the ofur lady there who loved k.c. (miss nanet), that they:

1. stuck lots pins in a doll of the late-arriving bean;
2. spit on the late-arriving bean's shadow; an'
   
3. decided that though mom would miss k.c. turrible bad, miss nanet should take her to live full time at her house, where k.c. went on weekends so she wouldn't be lonely. (we already had four kitties here, an' it only brought nanet's herd up to three;-)

that was three years ago, an' people comin' in still ask where the kitty is--they remember her as being so furriendly an' nice. an' she was. mom still misses her.

toesie tuesday!
