Tyler was put to sleep yesterday because of kidney failure. i came home from work and he didn't greet me. i called to him over and over again. he finally came out went over to the litter box and cried out. i took him to the emergency vet and the rest you can figure out. it sucks that i didn't see this coming and that he was miserable before he left. he was my best boy and i miss him so much.

Tyler is at the Rainbow Bridge.

Brother, I Love You!

Mom's home from work for a whole week and we're so happy we're huggin' each other for the sheer joy of being together. We hope all of you are spending cozy times with your family.

Love, Ty ad Jake

Silly Mommy!

Sophie: Hello blog kitty friends. Tyler said it's ok if I blogged on his blog today. I wanted to tell you how silly crazy my mommy is. She came home yesterday and sat down in front of me on the big bed. She then opened up a baggie of cooked chicken that just didn't excite me and then started hollering my name. At first she was nice and sweet about calling me. She called, "Sophie, Sophina, I have something for you..." but I wasn't impressed with the chicken so I just stared at her. Then she started yelling at me for about 5 minutes straight. I was right behind her, so I started cracking up inside. Silly Mommy. Didn't she see me when she sat down on the bed? I never let on where I was which I guess made her panic because I always come when I'm called. The only thing was, I was already there so I didn't have to come. When she finally turned around and saw me. I smiled sweety at her. At first I told her I wouldn't tell anyone how silly she is, but this morning I decided I had to let the kitties how there know just how wacky my mom can be. Do any of you have parents that crack you up? If so, please tell me what they did. I love a good smile.

9 Lives, I'm Your Cat!

Jake: I so sorry that my mom had to use her lousy camera phone to take such a cute picture of me. The real camera is always in the wrong place she trys to explain to me. I don't care cuz you can still see how cute, cute, cute I am. Right blog friends, aren't I the cutest cat on around this blog. It's okay to say the truth. Tyler's just too old to be cute, Cookie's too grumpy and well Sophie's the most fluffy and beautiful, but not cute at all. I'm the cutest. It's me. Even just watching me, makes me cuter. When I jumped into the box I made my mom giggle. I think it's a combo of my handsome ginger furs along with my huge whisker humps and my mischevious grin that gives me the edge. And look how I thought to chomp down on the box, cute, right? I think I'm headed for stardom. I wonder if that Moris dude cat that my mom told me about is ready to be replaced by a cuter more youthful ginger boy?


C'mon, I'm cuter than him, right people? Mom, I think you better get me an agent.

Happy New Year!

Tyler:I hope all the kitties in the blogosphere had awesome Christmice with their families. We've been silently visiting some of your blogs. It looks like so many of you had wonderful holidays. We love each and every one of you. All of my sisters, my brother and I want to wish you a happy and healthy new year.

Sophie: Hi kitties and woofies, goats and rodents too! I learned a new trick. I'm tired of being the meekest little kitty around. So when some kitty annoys me, I give him a bop on the head. At first they were all so surprised to see me voice my opinion that they just gave me whatever I wanted. Today, Jakie, the Tangerine Pest, hit me back. I saw on an episode of Jersey Shore that boys aren't suppose to hit girls. On the tv show the cops came and took the boy away. When I saw that, I just knew that it was the answer to all of my Tangerine Pest problems (I like the way Parker calls Rudy the "Orange Menace", so mommy showed me how to use a thesaurus to come up with my new name for my brother). But when I asked Mommy to call 911 and report Jake.... she refused. She said she would miss him too much and that maybe I could come up with a less drastic solution.

Then of course there's the big sister version of the Tangerine Pest, Cookie, or as I now call her the Drabby Crabby One. After I bop her she now hisses. So I just bop her again for hissing at me. It's all quite a bit of fun.

And then there's Tyler. I NEVER bop Ty. He's the best brother ever. I groom him and kiss him whenever he'll let me. I adore that brother of mine.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Mommy left the camera at my aunt Beth's house, a two hour drive from here. It'll be a bit of time before we can post new pics. Yeah! Mr. Flashy's not coming around here for quite a while!!

Jake: Mom?

Mom: Yes, Jake?

Jake: I love Tyler, lots.

Mom: I can tell, Sweetheart.

Jake: And Mom?

Mom: Mm, hm?

Jake: I love you too.

Mom: Ahhhhhh, such a sweetie.

Jake: NOW, can I have those Temptations?
