I nominate...

I want to nominate Timothy Dickens for the Rockin' Boy Blogger Award! He's a wonderful guy who is great with kids. He also goes to visit his Grammie in his new stroller. It's really cool. You should go vist his site at http://timothydickens.blogspot.com/. Way to go Timothy. (He doesn't know it but he also shares his name with my cousin bean, Timmy.)
Toodles, Tyler

Thursday Tattles

Yes, I too have been honored, by Bogdan, Miss Sara and Kat 3, the owners of the Morning Scratch Newspaper, with the Rockin' Boy Blogger award. This is such a tremendous commendation because I was not expecting it. As you know, I'm new here to Blogland. I did not expect anyone to recognize my rockin' attitude in such a short time. Also those that nominated me, are some very smart cats because they have their own newspaper. They appear to be a very loving family. They recently lost their last ferret member named Fiona. California has a very ridiculous law that says NO FERRETS. Why? There is no logic. But this family took in their Fiona at risk of having her removed by force. Can you imagine?

Before yesterday, I had never read their newspaper. It is an interesting read and I recommend that you check them out at http://themorningscratch.blogspot.com/ I think you can all understand why I am tremendously honored. I am going to search for someone else to nominate and I will let you know when I find the perfect cat.

I also was tagged by Mr. Hendrix, the very courageous cat to whom I look up, to fill out this MeMe:

I was a twinkle in my momma's eye.

Tyler, I need your blog

Yes, I did bite him. This is Cookie speaking. Yes, I am the lovely BROWN tabby you see in the picture above. I had to put that orange runt kitty in his place. I am tired of running me over 9 gazillion times a day. When Momma waves the mouse wand for ME to capture, that orange piece of fur runs in front of me before I've had a chance. Every cat here knows that I have to crouch down, stare down my prey with my evil eyes AND wiggle my butt before I go into attack. Both of the kittens are cuddling with Tyler. I used to be his only cuddle buddy. And you are petting them more than is necessary.

Momma: Cookie, I know this change has been rough on you. Take a time out and calm yourself down. I still love you. I just can't allow you to hurt the others, ok? Settle down and then I'll come and cuddle with you in a bit.

(Wow, that Feliway stuff must really work. I just noticed that it's time to refill my three bottles I had going. )

Sophie the Snuggler

Here I was showing off my sensational tummy, Next thing I know Sophie crawls over and hogs my picture. Don't tell my momma, but she is kinda cute. She's a good snuggle bunny. Best of all she adores me.

Mancat Monday

"What do you mean you want my best mancat look? What other look do I have? Hmph...mothers."

Who's out there?

THE KITTENS: AHHHHHH! Momma! Are those the vishus deer eyes we've been reading about?
MOMMA: Let me turn on the lights.




THE KITTENS: Oh, he, he. I guess we're safe.

MOMMA: I guess so. I think I need to vacuum that curtain.

My Other Two Sisters

Here are pics of my other two sisters. The dark one is Kali, my very old big sister. Momma forgot to charge the camera's battery, so this is the best pic she has. She's a 17 year old tortie. She's a very grumpy girl with everyone except momma. She forgets that I'm the real boss around here. When I go in her space to remind her that all spaces are really MY spaces she bats at me. She also tries to sleep in momma's lap that is MY lap. Yesterday when she turns around to get down I gave her the bitie on her backside. Momma made me get out of the chair. Momma just doesn't understand that all she has to do is honor and respect my alpha male status. Momma says there's also something about "old lady status". I don't think she really knows what she's talking about, but what can I say, even I know momma's the biggest boss of all.

The other photo is of Cookie. She's showing momma her hairless tummy. She wants momma to know that she's had a lot of stress due to the little rodents that are running around here. She licked alls her hair off down there. She's getting better now. Her hair is growing back. Mommas put up that Feliway stuff everywhere. She made some secret hiding spots for Cookie. Cookie now tolerates 'em. But if they try to use her tail as an attack toy, Cookie meows very loudly, whips around and gives the offender the evil eye. Now the kittens know all about Cookie's evil eye so they just hang around me instead.

Thank you to all my visitors. I love the attention. I'll try to get to your place some time really soon.

Happy Birthday America! Toodles!
Tyler
