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!)

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'.

again with the "oops"

don't headbonk her arm when she's takin' her blood's pressures, either. she sez it makes it go inta the stratosfeer. i wonder if it kin see our house from there . . .

28 May 2009

oops.

nitro's words of wisdom:  

never headbonk mom's hand while she's pourin' grape juice. i'm just sayin'.

CELEBRATIN' OUR FURRY OWN M.L.!!

mom sez m.l. is like one of them ladies what carries buildings on their heads. she adds grace an' beauty to our lifes by her help an' good cheer to us blogosphere denizens. but inna world outside our happy bloggies, she supports her fambly of beans an' kitties while livin' with physical an' other trubbles (headaches, for one--no surprise there for a building-holder-upper). an' on toppa that, sometimes the world trembles around her an' makes it hard to keep her footing.

but she keeps her back straight an' holds up her head like a champ--an' even takes on more weight above her to keep on helpin' beans an' kitties. she has tooken on responsibilities that lotsa beans woulda run screamin' from, but she bears 'em an' does 'em because love bears her up an' gifs her the strength to do them. an' because it's the right thing to do--she's just that kinda bean. we are blest to know her.

we thinks she is a most special lady an' acknowledges her wif an award of our own:


NOTE: this is the first time it is awarded, but we hopes it won't be the last. there are other special beans out there, an' when a really, really special one needs a really, really special award, we hopes you will swipe this graphic an' customize it (or ask mom, she'll do it fur you if yer not up to it). an' if it's a he-bean like NTM, we'll make a "golden telemon" to go wif the caryatid.

look what we got her!!

pretty red roses fur her nose, an'
warm bubbly goodness fur her toes!
well, ok, we din't buy alla the stuff - our bean brofur an' his ladyfurriend did--but we donated all our recent found-inna-laundry-money to help. an' we helped "arrange" the roses an' snoopervise the unpacking an' fillin' of the bubble machine. it is furry loud, so we din't stay around too long when it started spittin' wetness inna air! mom really enjoyed hafin' her feets wet. beans like some strange things, but she's our mom, an' we love her!

the bravest mancat we efur saw

our very own ed, wif his nose under xing's tail. 
you hasta unnerstand--ed would gladly eat xing's liver, wif or wifout a nice chianti or fava beans. an' vice-versa. you should hear her squall when he even looks at her (he does haf an intimidating stare). an' she can hear him lookin' at her from two rooms away! no, she din't hand him his head; she just kept on sleeping. so why she din't wake up is one of the mysteries of the universe, specially 'cause he gave her a few good sniffs before he settled down to nappin'. 
he is furry, furry, furry lucky.
(if you biggify, it'll look like an impressionist painting--it was a cell phone picture.)

we din't blow away . . .

this is what the talky-picture box inna living room looked like yesterday morning. mom told us it was a picture of the weather up above, an' that we was right inna middle of the red part. we was haffin' a drefful storm that blew, an' blew, an' blew, an' blew, an' rained like billy-be-damned, as mom sez. so we found out why they din't go fishin' last weekend when the orange an' yellow spots was ofur their fishin' place!

an' mom an' dad are furry unhappy that this little tree went dead; it gave them cherries efurry year, an' a furriend of theirs made happy juice from them. no happy juice this year.

:sigh: they're cranky enuf even WIF the h.j.--what will they be like wifout it?

woofie wednesday

ok, we knows we's sposed to be about kitties, but dambrowndog is our sisfur, after all, an' we can feature her sometimes when we're feelin' benevolent.

yesterday, mom came home at lunchtime an' let cocoa out. when she went to let her back in, this is what she saw:
he's cocoa's furrst daddybean, wayne from down the street. they weren't able to spend enough time wif her an' she got kinda rowdy, so they asked if we wanted her. they knew that we had all loved thor-of-blessed-memory (an' his wife an' their dogger, sugarbritches an' xena) an' knew how to lif wif spicy woofies. so we tol' mom an' dad it was ok by us, since we was used to woofies, an' she came to liff here.

but they haf neffur forgotted each ofur an' has kept up this ofur-the-fence romance efur since. mom sez it kinda makes her sad to see them togefur like this, since she knows how hard it is to gif up a furrbaby, an' acause she can see that daddy wayne loves cocoa furry much an' would take her back in a minit if he could.

tabby tuesday

it's nitro, peerin' outta the conning tower of his furry own silver submarine, which may come in pretty handy soon if it don't stop rainin'. it rained efurry day but one last week, an' is sposed to rain efurry day but one this week. alla the outdoor fev-vers are startin' to grow webs in their feets, an' we notice that worms can't swim worth a durn.

sunday morning lazies

we were ALL furry lazy; even though she was awake to take the moovey, mom din't even post this until this mornin'!! we dunno if you kin hear it on yer puter, but even the dambrowndog is snorin' inna background.

mom an' dad got up early to go fishin', but there was yellow an' orange spots onna livin' room talkin' box that meant there was storms where they were gonna take the boat, so they put their jammies back on an' just moped aroun' the house. that was fine by us. we gots LOTSA warm, quality lap/nap time wif them!! an' this evenin', dad put real live dead chick-hen onna grill outside, an' we got some!! nitro hadda try efurrything onna plates, of course, an' one of them he really liked was the baked beans. ed sez he ain't sleepin' cuddled up to nitro tonight even if it's 40 degrees below freezin'.
