Flags of Tastiness

Well I'm in trouble again and sulking, but whats new. Today Burt tossed me off the desk twice due to the fact that I enjoy eating the tabs he has put in his school books. I figured that these little crinkly pieces of brightly colored plastic where being placed in secret spots for me to seek out and destroy, judging by Burt's response, this was not the case. It also doesn't help maters that the tabs of greatest importance are the most tasty.

Mean In Japan

Not even cats are safe from the humiliation of Japanese game shows.
Unsuspecting homeless felines are lured in with fish of increasing sizes, until they're so large that many cats give up, but the smart cats know to just eat the fish down to a size that is manageable, then carry it off to a quiet spot to eat the good bits.
The video is kinda long, and Ernie said it took awhile to figure out exactly what was going on because he says its "all in Japanese," whatever that means...

Brown Menace Strikes Again

This is a warning to all cats in the Midwest! The Brown Menace has come out of retirement and is once again causing mischief. I have put out this warning because I know that I have readers in Ohio and that's within the Brown Menace's sphere of influence. You have to read the story for yourself on My Other Blog's a Future Blog, luckily our good friend Sidney made it out OK but we are wondering how she will manage covering up all that dog puke.

Buttons for Change

Not that I care about politics, especially since it has started taking attention away from me. For example, last night I received my kibble one hour late due to the VP debates. This button on the other hand makes me crave change.

A Word From Mortimer

This is more of a statement than a word, and that statement is "I am not a hand towel!" That's right Burt, I see through you and your wet-handed petting. I know that I am merely a means of drying your hands even though the dish towel is just a few feet away.
Do you know how long it takes me to clean my luscious fur? Its not like I roll out of the bed looking this good, no, it takes hours of grooming and rest.

Broadway Veterinary Portland

The real title for this post should be "Worst Day Ever" but for search reasons I have chosen the Broadway title. This was a bi-annual checkup to keep my Impending Death Syndrome (IDS) in check. It seems that B&E are doing a good job, my BP was 114 and my heart murmur today was level two. That's down from a level three! I still have a thyroid test that comes back Monday, so keep your paws crossed that all is well.

Bad doctor art. I've entitled this one "Are You Threatening Me?"

Well, the boys are back from Manzanita and as promised, they brought me a piece of art. Fish this time, a departure from all the bird art they've been hanging above my dining nook. I'm getting it framed, will post a pic of it when it is complete.
Here's a couple snapshots from their weekend at the coast that were categorized as "cat related."

Caution! Cat crossing

Paper Anniversary

Wow, I have been so busy napping that I totally forgot that the 15th was my anniversary with B&E. I cant believe how time has flown by. My memory was jogged by coming across my saved profile, I went by Moscow because I thought it sounded tough. Note that there is no mention of a very audible hart mummer, and can you spot the bad pun.

Moscow

Domestic Short Hair-black

Size: Large
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
ID: LSE

Notes:

Moscow is almost 4 years old and a super sweet boy who gets along with dogs. Definitely the strong, silent type, he's affectionate and friendly. At 14 pounds, he's an armful, but he'd really like to be your armful. He's a peace-loving kitty who's hoping you'll soon be "Russian" in to get him.

FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY the "Better with a Buddy" program is back! Adopt one cat or kitten and get $50 off of the adoption price of a second cat or kitten!

** Please note: All kittens must be altered before they can go home with their new family. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Kittens are generally altered between 10 and 11 weeks of age because we have a surgery minimum weight requirement of 2.25 lbs. If you are doing a pre-adopt (adopting a kitten before alter surgery) please inquire about the kitten's current weight. Kittens gain about 1/4 of a lb per week and you can estimate alter date from there. Remember this is just an estimate. Thank you for understanding that these policies are based on ensuring the best possible start for our kittens.

Big Bird

The Alberta Street fair was last weekend and Burt and Ernie went out and promised to find me another painting for my art collection. Right now I only have two pieces, and a collection is three or more.
Long story short, they returned empty handed and all I received were some sloppy drunk pettings, and this lousy picture of a papier-mâché pigeon. Ick!
This weekend they're going to Manzanita and they best not return empty handed, if they know whats good for the house plants!


I love birds, but even I don't care for pigeons...

Girls That Cry

My crush on the upstairs neighbor has finaly ended due to a fourth rescue by Burt. I'm a modern male that deserves a hip modern female that can fend for hersellf and not need rescued every week, the count is now four. Why are the pretty ones alwys so needy?

Spider Candy

I'm in trouble with Burt. He has been bitten by a spider for the fourth time. He tells me that one of my only jobs is to be the spider hunter in the house. He has also accused me of scaring the spiders out from under the bed and into the sheets. While I do enjoy my under the bed lair, I can not be held responsible for the spiders' actions. Due to my busy napping regimen, I don't have time for spider hunts. I think the easiest solution would be for Burt to start sleeping with bug spray on.

Snoop Dogg

This commercial for Snoop Dogg's new reality show is a fairly good representation of how we cats look at humans. Yeah, Snoop Dogg has a reality show....

Waste Not Want Not

My new bag of Felidae was opened this morning and Burt almost threw out four whole kibbles! Luckily I was there to point out Burt's wasteful ways.
