by

FRODO and ZULU: Mom has strict house rules about us cats not being allowed on the table.

FRODO and ZULU: We have strict rules about us cats not following strict rules.

AMARULA: Alright already! Enough about you two! Here are my Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!

  1. One Thanksgiving tradition I have is: ….wait a minute…what is this thing you humans call “Thanks” and “Giving” I am not familiar with either of these terms.
  2. Black Friday is not fun anymore since the human took my credit card away.
  3. The best part about Thanksgiving Day is: standing with one paw raised over the cooked turkey until the human sees me and comes running towards me screaming “Nooooooooooooo” at which point I then merely smile causing her to spend torturous moments wondering what exactly I did to the bird and whether she should serve it. Oh I do love the holidays!
  4. One Thanksgiving: I brought a mouse into the house and deposited it in front of the human and her friends while they were eating. I must say they were less than thankful! Humans truly don’t understand the meaning of Thanksgiving.

Someone Gets an Early Christmas Present!

So the human goes grocery shopping this morning and comes home with a Christmas present for a certain group of felines. She makes the mistake of taking a break from putting away the groceries to answer the phone. This is what she comes back to find:

She calls out to the felines asking: “Alright, who knocked over the groceries and took the cat toy?”

AMARULA answers: Not me! I’m busy praying for winter to be over! Let me be!

ZULU answers: Not me! I’m busy grooming. Gotta look my best for the ladies!

FRODO answers: Not chomp….chomp….me…

So the Human goes to investigate and this is what she finds…

The photographic evidence seems pretty damning.

FRODO: I don’t have to give it back do I?!

Oh Frodo! I suppose one early Christmas present is ok!

Caturday Art: A Museum-Worthy Mouser

by

FRODO: Mom says I look so arty that Rembrandt himself could not have done better! I should be hanging in a museum!

AMARULA: The key word is hanging!

FRODO: Oh Amarula! You’re so funny! You can hang out with me anytime buddy!

AMARULA: Oh Brother!

FRODO: I had fun catching that mouse that was under the stove with you last night! What fun!

AMARULA: I don’t think the human thought it was so fun when you brought it upstairs last night to show her your prize at about 2 AM!

FRODO: Well! At least I put it in the bathtub so mom could easily catch it and throw it outside! The best part is that since I didn’t hurt the mouse maybe it will come back tonight to play with us again!? Right? Right Amarula!?

AMARULA: Oh Brother! If it does come back, I’m in charge of catching it! You’re too gentle! You’ll ruin my reputation as a fierce mouser!

FRODO: Oh Amarula! Catching mice with you is as fun as doing Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop!

 

Winter: Is It Over Yet?

AMARULA: I have a brilliant plan to beat winter this year….

AMARULA: I am going to close my eyes and when I open them all these leaves are going to be gone and winter will have moved on!

nope-didnt-work

AMARULA: Nooooooooooo! It didn’t work! How dare you disobey me Mother Nature!!!

 

 

Despite the fact that winter appears to have me beat, I did my regular Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!

  1. Why Cats are Better Than Dogs and Should be Human’s Overloards_should be taught in schools.
  2.  The last item I donated was … an especially nicely shaped piece of poo. I didn’t even charge for it! I’m not sure why, but my human minion loves to collect them!
  3. My (personal) song is Cat Scratch Fever by Ted Nugent because I so love the idea that a tiny scratch from my little ole claw could make a human sick…such power!
  4. Three things I am thankful for this week are: my good looks, a clean litter box, and my good looks (I really am just that beautiful).

 

Man Crush Monday: A Tail of Love

AMARULA: As you may remember, on one of my neighborhood walks, I recently met the dreamy man cat Charlie. Well all this cold weather and thoughts of imminent winter made my blood ran cold so I figured a visit with Charlie would warm me up!

AMARULA: I was so happy when I saw him my tail went straight up into the air!
