Taste Test Tuesday


Mom made mashed potatoes for Easter and offered the beaters to us to lick.  Neither one of us found them appealing.  Mom was happy because then she got to lick them clean.

Mancat Monday

Minchie is such a silly mancat!  He is quite the clown and keeps Mom laughing.

Happy Birthday Laila!

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY LAILA!






This is also the 7th blogoversary of our blog.  It started out being just Mom's blog but in time we kidnapped it and took over.  We think she started blogging on this date because she somehow knew Laila was born on this date and would be coming to live with her soon.

Caturday Matinee



Who needs Mom when I have my cat hair magnet.

Flashback Friday

Today's flashback is from September 2007 and it was called:

 Am I getting lazy or what?

How nice there is a water source for me in one of my favorite places to rest.

Now, that was refreshing! When momma comes in to use my sink and sees me in it she just laughs and walks away and says she'll come back later. I've done a pretty good job in training her, wouldn't you agree?


See how much I've grown since this picture was taken not long after mom brought me home.

No Nip Nanners?

All I see are real nanners.  Where are the nip nanners?

Toupee Tuesday

 Mom was combing me and thought she'd be "cute" and put this little fur toupee on my head.

Think my stink eye is telling her how much I like this.

Mancat Monday

Today is laundry day.  Snooperviser Minchie trying to decide what pile Mom should tackle first.

Caturday Matinee


Once in awhile, Minchie likes to burrow inside this folded up blankie.  It's so funny watching him come out.

Flashback Friday


Angel Lilly always loved Easter as you can tell from these pictures.  She was Mom's silly girl.  

We want to thank all of our friends who so generously donated to The ROCK's Kitties fundraiser for their new outdoor enclosure!   They exceeded their goal and are already getting ready to rebuild.  Again, thank you so much!

Thankful Thursday

Minchie is very thankful for Mom's comfy lap, his blankie and the recliner and watching an episode of "Too Cute" on Animal Planet.

Whisker Hump Wednesday

Mom's silly mancat.

Mom's serious mancat.

 If anyone can possibly donate to our friends, The ROCK's Kitties, to have their outside enclosure rebuilt, it would be great. Any amount would be so welcome. Over 50 kitties have been locked inside the center in Newark, NY since the enclosure was destroyed and are getting very stressed by not being able to go outside. Cheryl works so hard and selflessly every day to take care of her shelter kitties.

Where's the Tuna?

 Whenever Mom opens up a can of anything, Laila comes running into the kitchen meowing all the way thinking she's opened a can of tuna.  The only way Mom can convince her that it isn't, is to put the can on the floor and let Laila see for herself.

Woke up to this.  Spring in ChiTown!  :(

Mancat and Mom Monday

Mom got a great idea yesterday to try to get a selfie of she and I.  Of course she posted it on her Facebook page, so for those who aren't on Facebook, here you go!
 
Mom says I'm the only man she needs in her life. Something about kissing a lot of frogs throughout the years.  Kitties, why would she want to kiss a frog?  ICK!

Easy Like Sunday Morning

 Kitties!  It got up to 80F/26.6C yesterday!  Purrfect day for window whiffies!  Lots of birdies chirping and we even heard an owl this morning we think.

But in typical Chicago style, snow is in the forecast for tonight.  Experiencing all four seasons in one 24 hour period day is exhausting!

Caturday Art

 This scratchboard art was done for Mom (by a former boyfriend) of her kitty, Angel Muffin.

And here is a picture of Angel Muffin. 

She has another one of Angel Murphy that she'll show another time.

Flashback Friday

Today's flashback is from September 2007 and was titled:

WE'RE WORN OUT

Mom's two nieces, Katie and Kelly, came over yesterday afternoon for a visit and played with us. We had so much fun! They have kitties too so they know how to play with us. In fact, Lilly use to live with them but their kitty, Toodie, didn't like Lilly so Lilly came to live with mom and has lived here ever since.

We slept on our "one of many" beds for many hours recharging our batteries. We hope they come see us again very soon!

Nothing is better in life for Minchie than to be on the recliner with his blankie and laying on Mom's lap.

Calendar Boys

 Mom's favorite mancats, Minchie and Angel, are on the CB calendar today!  Definitely a great start to the day!

We want to wish our good friend, Marg, the happiest of birthdays today.  She does so much for all the animals and the furries of the blogging world.  We love you, Marg!

Mancat Monday

 The laundry basket is the purrfect depth for chillaxin' and snoozin'.

Sample plate from yesterday's turkey dinner at church.  This was Mom's nephew's plate.  We get some turkey tonight from Mom's take out box.  It was enough for two big meals.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

Good day to be a couch potato.  Mom is going to be gone a long time helping out at church for their annual turkey dinner.  She is working at the strawberry shortcake work station like she did last year.  A turkey dinner will be coming home with her.  She said we get some too!

Flashback Friday

Today's flashback is from September 2007 and was called:

Christmas in September 

WOW! A package came just for me!

Auntie Holly and the Boyz sent me a pet store!


How did they know I love pink?
Mom says she's never seen toys like this before.


So far this tunnel and chirping mouse are my favorites! 

Thank you so much for these awesome gifts!!! That was the nicest thing anyone has done for me (except for the nice lady who trapped me out in the wilds) and it makes me so very happy! You have been such a great friend to our mom and us over the years! Cat people are very special and we are so glad we found you out there in cyber space! Hugs, purrs and head butts to you and all your furries!!! Love, Laila, Lilly and our mom!

Tummy Tuesday

Would anyone like to tickle Laila's tummy with her feather?
