Happy Halloween From the Trick or Treating Trio!

November 6, 2016October 31, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: I love Halloween!! I love costume changes and visitors so Halloween is one of my favorite times of year! Happy Halloween everyone!

ZULU: Well, though I love having my photo taken and wearing clothing of distinction, I certainly do not like polyester, and neon green is definitely not my color! But, all in all, I guess Halloween is OK! Happy Halloween!

AMARULA: Halloween? I’m against it. But I do love Halloween slideshows and artistic pumpkins! So Frodo, Zulu and I want to thank once again Nellie —for the great pumpkin–and Peaches and Paprika for the amazing slideshow!!

Happy Halloween! And we are doing the Awww Monday Blog hop from Comedyplus!

October 29, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: Oh Heavens! Oh My! I can’t believe it! Not only is it National Cat Day today but it’s also Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop! I’m showing you my cartoonist side (get it??) cause Mom says I’m such a funny character! I just can’t believe cats get their own national cat day!? Do we get prizes? Will there be extra tuna…surely we get extra tuna?!! What time is the awards ceremony?! What will I wear!?

AMARULA: Actually Frodo, sadly, National Cat Day is only celebrated in the USA and as we are Canadian cats we don’t celebrate it…

FRODO: What?? So no extra tuna….no red carpet….

AMARULA: NO sorry…in fact…today in Canada it’s Seafood-free Saturday! So not only will there not be any extra tuna …there won’t be any tuna at all!!

FRODO: Noooooooooooooooooo!

ZULU: Why do you listen to Amarula!!?? Haven’t you learned by now not to trust her! Canada celebrates National Cat Day too!! And I know mom has some extra tuna treats planned for today!

FRODO: Yipee!! Why are you looking so artsy too Zulu?!

ZULU: Cause mom said in honor of National Cat Day we all get to go artsy!!

AMARULA: All right, all right, in the spirit of National Cat Day, I too will show off my artsy side!

She’s Back….Love is In the Air For Frodo on Mancat Monday!

October 24, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: I smell something in the air….

FRODO: Oh Boy oh boy…is it chicken? Do you smell chicken in the air Amarula?

AMARULA: No you idiot, it’s not chicken! It smells like….a trespasser….

AMARULA: She’s behind me isn’t she?

AMARULA: What are you doing here back in my domain???

FRODO: Who? Who’s back Amarula? I don’t have the dex…dex…dex… whatever that big word is… to jump on the fence!

AMARULA: Dexterity, you idiot!

FRODO: Dexterity is here?? Who’s that?

AMARULA: Why do I even bother? NO! That cat from the neighborhood is back in our yard! You remember…she flirted with you and then you kissed. It was disgusting!

FRODO: Where? There she is! My fluffy feline of love!

FRODO: Oh no! The fence is in our way!

AMARULA: Well, sadly Frodo it looks like she can’t get through the fence! You’ll just have to stare at each other longingly (it appears she and Frodo share the same low IQ as they can’t seem to figure out they could easily fit through the opening!)

AMARULA: Oh no I spoke too soon. She is going around the other way. Sadly she should be here any moment…

FRODO: It’s her! It’s really her! Wait for me. I’m coming!

FRODO: I’m almost there! Wait for your mancat my love!

FRODO: Smooch! Another kiss! I’m in love!

FRODO: Now let’s go hunt some sunbeams together!

AMARULA: Oh no this will not do! I can’t have ANOTHER interloper in my yard! Sharing my domain with Frodo and Zulu is already too much!

AMARULA: This yard is definitely not big enough for another cat! I will have to take care of this freewheeling feline soon….mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha

A Game of Cat and … Mouth!?

October 17, 2016 by Amarula

A Game of Cat and … Mouth!?

FRODO: Zulu what are you doing?

ZULU: Well, I hate to break this to your Frodo, but mom put me in charge of watching you and making sure you don’t get into trouble. You have been getting into quite a lot of trouble lately! So I have to keep you on a “short leash” so to speak.

FRODO: But we all know that I only get into trouble when I am led astray by Amarula! I am a well-behaved cat otherwise!

ZULU: While I generally agree that Amarula is responsible for most of the precarious predicaments you get into, you do tend to wander off if no one is watching you!

FRODO: Come on Zulu! Let me go!

ZULU: Nope! Sorry I take my role as big brother and Frodo guardian seriously!

ZULU: Frankly, Frodo, I find I am quite enjoying this! It is the kind of job I can really sink my teeth into!

FRODO: Look! A butterfly over by the garden….

ZULU: Not the garden Frodo! Come back here!

FRODO: I love digging up the garden! Let go of my leash!

ZULU: Come back here!

ZULU: I hope mom has good cat dental insurance cause watching you is killing my teeth!

We are participating in Comedy Plus’ Awwww….Mondays blog hop

The Cats are Working Hard On Labour Day!

September 5, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: Labour!?? I’m against it. I get Frodo to do all my chores! But I always dress up on Labor Day; what can I say, I look great in a tie.

FRODO: Goody Goody!! Labour Day is here! Amarula is always nice enough to let me do her chores! I love working! You get to meet all sorts of people. And mom always gives me a treat when I wear a tie. Yummy!

FRODO: Oh no! Where did I put my briefcase? Amarula is going to kill me if I lost those files on the best way to catch a squirrel! Well, there’s only one thing to do when a crisis arises on the job…

FRODO: Sometimes you just gotta sleep on the job!

ZULU: Labour Day?! I love it! I get to wear all these very bespoke outfits that really capture my fashion-forward side. It drives the ladies crazy!

ZULU: But I think I may have this tie all wrong! Why did I trust Amarula to help me put it on!? She told me it is supposed to go this way! Assistance!? I need assistance here!

ZULU: Ah…much better. What do you think of this pose? This is my powerful yet sensitive, brooding lawyer pose (ladies love fat cat lawyers). I’m a feline-rights advocate in the middle of a tough case trying to get equal rights for cats by insisting that all parks with off-leash dog zones must also have fenced-off feline-only areas. Though I’ve made some headway, the court is really fighting me on my insistence that all cats be armed with tasers and be allowed to zap any dog that comes to close to our feline-only perimeter. Lady Justice is a harsh mistress! OK Costume change!

ZULU: Ah yes, the simple flower. This is my modern interpretation of a cravat. Men don’t just have to wear ties anymore!

ZULU: It says to the ladies that I am comfortable with my feminine side.

ZULU: I am tough yet tender. And maybe just a little shy. Oh and it doesn’t hurt that the yellow really shows off my smooth-as-silk chocolate fur…

AMARULA: Can someone please shut that cat up?! Why is he still talking? And who would ever wear a flower collar to work?!?! What does any of this have to do with Labour Day?? He is really putting the BORE in Labour Day!

ZULU: Shut up Amarula! Labour Day only happens once a year! OK, next costume change!

ZULU: At last, my other lawyer look. I stare down the jury with my mysterious, intelligent gaze.

ZULU: Finally, the end of the trial nears…I let loose a deep sigh as though the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Then I slowly look up to the jury and yell: You can’t handle the truth!

ZULU: The court is in an uproar! The men are shouting, while the ladies swoon. Of course, I win the case, and yet I am humble in the face of victory.

ZULU: OK I’m ready for my cognac and cigar! Frodo…Frodo where’s my cigar and cognac?! Is that cat sleeping on the job again!?

FRODO: Oh no! I can’t remember where I put Zulu’s cognac and cigars!! I forgot that Labour Day can be quite stressful!

In The Doghouse: Hitting Rock Bottom

August 22, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: So the human is a little miffed with Frodo who has been grounded indoors until he learns what areas of the backyard he is supposed to stay away from! Hee Hee Hee! So it started something like this…I noticed Frodo hanging out in the backyard staring longingly at the rock garden area that the human has declared a no-go zone until her rock garden plants take root.

AMARULA: Hey there Frodo? Whatcha doing? Why are you sitting here so close to the rock garden? Why not go take a look?

FRODO: Mom and Zulu said I’m not supposed to Amarula! They’re worried I will dig up all the seeds and baby plants!

AMARULA: What!! As if you could ever hurt a baby! Come on, I’ll go with you. It can’t hurt to take a little look can it?

FRODO: Well that sure sounds like a good idea Amarula!! What could it hurt!?

AMARULA: What indeed??!! Let’s go!

AMARULA: Now you take a good look around Frodo! Don’t be afraid to really dig stuff up. I’ll just stay here ~~out of sight~~ in the shade so you can have all the fun cause that’s just the kinda cat I am!!

FRODO: Boy! Gosh oh golly Amarula you sure are a swell friend!

AMARULA: That’s right Frodo! Make yourself at home! Become one with the rocks!!

FRODO: Oh Boy this is soooooooooooooo fun!

FRODO: WOW! I wonder what is hiding in between all these rocks!

AMARULA: That’s right Frodo, stick your head right in there! Think of all the exciting things you will find!

FRODO: OH no Amarula! I think I’m stuck!! Help!

AMARULA: Don’t you worry there Frodo, I see the human making a beeline for you right this minute!! And she doesn’t look happy! Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha!
