Where's MaoMao?

Sometimes when you're the only boykitty in a houseful of girls, they think you're pretty darned silly.

Here's my oldest sister, Marilyn, who sez: I saw Mao spazzing around the house a few minutes ago, but now I don't see him. But I hear something funny. Dear me, what do you suppose that young'un has gotten into now?




And my second oldest -- and biggest -- sister, Brainball, sez: I hear something, too, but I'm not sure what it is. Over there, I think. Could it be MaoMao? I'd better go see. *sigh*, an Alpha Cat's work is never done.




And there's me, Chairman Mao, stuck in the bathroom 'cause I'd gone in there lookin' for toilet paper cores and I shut the door by mistake. I sez: Quit standin' around all moon-eyed and let me out! Let me out, confound it!



So Momma lets me out of the bathroom.

And Dorydoo sez: Aw dang it, Momma, did you have to let him out? He's just so silly. Boys! He's gonna give the rest of us boykitty cooties.

Thrilled to Meet You Tuesday!

Mao here, and I'm thrilled to meet Patches Lady, Mittens Pollypaws, Mistrie Rose, and Precious Flower!

Rosie and Cheeto had a great idea for Tuesday -- for us kitties to find a kitty or kitties we haven't met yet on the bloggiesphere and introduce ourselves. So I went a-bloggie-surfin' and found these bee-yootiful girlkitties. Here's a link to their bloggie: The Big Piney Woods Cats. Go say hi to 'em, and give 'em lots of purrs and kittyhugs!

My Older Sisters

Yesterday, my friend Daisy posted a purr-ecious picture of her older sister Pixie as a kitten, snuggled with Cricket, a beautiful Meezer who went to the Rainbow Bridge before Daisy arrived.

And I thought I'd post this picture of Brainball and Dorydoo, which was taken over two years ago, only a couple of weeks after Dorydoo arrived. They were already close friends when this picture was taken. You can click on it and make it bigger.


You can see Brainball's big, fuzzy paw touching little bitty Dorydoo, all sweet and protective-like. That's Brainball for you, the Gentle Giant. Back then, Brainball was going on seven years old, and Dorydoo would have been about three months old.

Now, Dorydoo's two-and-a-half years old and bigger (but still not real big) and Brainball's going on nine, and they're closer than ever. Aren't my older sisters nice? I'm proud of them.

I Love My Big Sister!

I've been living with Momma and Daddy inside for two weeks now, and me and Brainball have gotten along good from the start. She's the big, bad-butt Alpha Cat around here, but she's very sweet, too, and I'm glad she likes me.


Me and Brainball have been nose-kissin' and butt sniffin' pretty much since I got here, but last night, we took us a nap on the recliner together. Isn't she a big, beautiful girl? She looks like a lion. I love her.

Making Friends

Here are Brainball, Dorydoo, and Chairman Mao all either on or in the vicinity of the recliner:

And here's Marilyn aka Duallipot watching the goings-on from just a few feet away.

Chairman Mao Comes Inside

Meet Chairman Mao: the newest member of the Imperial Order of Indoor Ballicai. What a purr-ecious little fella he is.

Meet Marilyn

Here's Marilyn -- isn't she a star! She's the newest member of the Imperial Order of Indoor Ballicai. And her Ballicus name is "Eyeball." Now I wonder why she'd have a nickname like that? ;)

Happy Halloween!

Dorydoo, our little Blackball, thinks it's Dorydoo Day because everywhere you look on Halloween, you see pictures of little black cats.

Precious Little Bibs

Here's my sweet little kitty friend, Bibs. I see her often on my morning walks. She already has humans, but if she didn't, she'd become our third Indoor Ballicus. She's a love-sponge shaped like a kitty.

Sleeping Like a Ballicus

Whenever I get a good night's sleep, I say, "I slept like a Ballicus." And here's what I mean:
