Meezer and Mancat Monday

The moral of this video: when yur big brothur's washin you, don't try to whap him, or he'll say PTOOEY and leave!

Fleecy Friday

Four days ago, Momma putted her fleecy shirt inna reckliner. And we Ballicai quickly claimed it in the name of catdom! We love it. It's so fleecy and warm and cozycomfy!

Here I am, all snuggled up on it... oh, Momma... please don't efur move yur fleecy shirt off the reckliner! It's the bestest place to sleep!



Brainball agrees. Whenefur he sleeps on Momma's fleecy shirt, he snores so loud he sounds like he's sawin logs.



Dorydoo loves it, too! She's made it her new most favrit washing spot.





Brainball and Dorydoo love to sleep onna fleecy shirt togethur.





Momma doesn't want to move that shirt off the recklinur, cuz we Ballicai enjoy sleepin and hangin out on it so much. Have we got her well-trained, or what?

Just so you know, Momma, you're nefur gonna get to wear that shirt again cuz it belongs to us BALLICULES... it's gonna stay inna recklinur for a bazillion-sqwillion years, hehe!

Catching Up: Memes and Awardies, and Purring for Maobert and Annie!

We Ballicai have got some catchin up to do! Let's see, first of all, my great furriends Stormie and the kitties at Artsy Catsy awarded me the You Make My Day Awardie. I'm furry, furry honored on both kounts! Stormie is a wunnerful kitty gurl, super-brave and currageous. Her bloggie makes our day, and she's an inspirashun to efurrykitty! And the Artsy Catsy kitties make our day, too -- they are kreative and so much funsies -- and such a wunnerful and beeyootiful kitty fambly!


The You Make My Day Awardie is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland. The rules are to pass the award along to up to 10 people (kitties!). So I pick:

My sweetiepie Ariel
My great furriend, sistur and fluffcuz Gretchen
Caesar and Prinnie
The Furry Kids (Titus, Tazo, and Earl Grey)
Jeter Harris
The Piney Woods Gurls (four of 'em!)

=-=

And yay, I gotted anothur awardie, this one frum my new Snowshoe Meezer great buddy, Java! Kool Beanies! It's the Thinking Blogger Awardie.



Here are the rules fur the Thinking Blogger Awardie:

1. You must write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Acknowledge this post.

3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.

4. Go tell your humans to fork over the treats!

hehe, Momma! FORK OFUR THE TEMPTAYSHUNS!

I'm gonna fudge the rules and pass the Thinkin Bloggur Awardie to alla the kitty bloggies onna Kitty Bloggiesphere, cuz efurryone's bloggies make me think, and make us Ballicai happy!

=-=

And now, Tesla, Java, and Chen & Ollie taggied me -- and Sparky Fuzzypants tagged my sistur Dorydoo -- for the Sevun Weird Things Meme! I'll do my meme, then Dorydoo will do hers.



Here's my (MaoMao's) answurs:

1. Efun though I have a loud MAO MAO MAO MAO, I purr quietly. You've gotta get real close to me to hear me purr, and there's hardly any rumble to my purr at all. It's real smooth, real soft. Momma hears it when she kisses me.



2. I dig real real real real fast inna littur boxie. It's as if I'm tryin to win a speed-diggin kontest.

3. I love playin in and sleepin in boxies. It's so much fun! Alla us Ballicai love boxies, but I think I love 'em most of all.



4. Of all the Ballicai, I'm the most likely to want hooman food, but I can't eat it much 'cause I've got a touchy dijestive system (poos and fartsies if I eat stuff that don't agree with me). DAGNABBIT!!!!

5. My newest favrit place to hang out is up on toppa the fridgerator! It's nice and high up, and it's warm up there, too. Here's what Momma calls my Regal Manly Meezer Pose.



6. When we Ballicai eat our stinky goodness, I let Marilyn or Dorydoo move in on mine if they really, really want it ('course then I move in on Brainball's stinky goodness, and usually, he lets me!).

7. I love love love Super Skratchurs. Not only do I love skratchin on 'em, but I love sleepin on 'em (and them toothie marks aren't mine -- Brainball likes to chew onna Super Skratchurs!)!




And here are Dorydoo's answers:

1. I'm crazy about purr pads. Purr pads are the BEST! They are so comfy -- I especially love the purr pad on the bedroom dresser.



2. Though I am the smallest of the Ballicai, I have the loudest purr. Brainball's purr is the rumbliest (he sounds like a lion), but my purr is the loudest!

3. Being a House Panther, I am a Stealth Kitty. I delight in being hard to find. I am the only Ballicus who doesn't necessarily come when called. And I love playing peek-a-boo!



4. I am very, very, very smart. All us Ballicai are smart; however, Mom says I am the smartest kitty she's ever met. I can figure out how to do pretty much anything for which I don't need opposable thumbs, and I'm trying to figure out how to grow those. Look out, world!

5. I have an "owl look." My "owl look" makes Mom say SQUEE every time. Check it out. Don't I look like an owl?



6. I am an athletic acroCAT -- I'm so good at jumping, it's as though I can fly. Mom and Dad call me an arboreal kitty. It's like I walk on air. And it means I can get absolutely anywhere I want to. Y-Y-YES!!!

7. I drink out of the bathroom sink. I sit on its edge and look at Mom, asking her to turn on the water for me. When she does, I get down in the sink and lap at the stream as it's coming out of the faucet, as though it were a water fountain. And oh, those squares on the side of the sink? Daddy put those there to help us Ballicai jump up, so we won't slip. Well, I never slip -- perish the thought!! -- but my siblings would, if it weren't for the strips *grin!*


For the Seven Random Things meme, we Ballicai tag anykitty who wants to play!

=-=

MaoMao here again... Oh no, we just got wordies that Skeezix's big brothur Maobert has been missin since Wednesday.



We are purrin and purrayin with alla our might fur Mao's safe return ASAP, and our hearts go out to his fambly!

My heart goes out to Mao's whole fambly and espeshully to Skeezy, cuz I just kan't imagine how horrible it would be fur my big bruther, Brainball, to go missin. Big bros are just so preshus and so speshul!

GO HOME, MAO!!!! GO HOME, MAO!!!! GO HOME, MAO!!!!

UPDATE: MAO'S HOME!!!!!! We Ballicai are happy dancin' all ofur the housie!

Thankies to The Cat Realm fur the ecksellent graffick.

=-=

A little later: We Ballicai just founded out that Annie, of the Krasota Castle Cats, is also missing!



We Ballicai are purrin with alla our mights fur Annie's return home, safe and sound, and we are sendin love and huggies to Annie's fambly.

GO HOME, ANNIE!!!! GO HOME, ANNIE!!!! GO HOME, ANNIE!!!!

And here I am sayin to the othur Ballicai, go away, this card is frum MY sweetiepie (she did wish all of us a happy holliday seazon, she's such a sweet and nice kittygurl -- alla us Ballicai love her, but I didn't want to share my card cuz Ariel is MY sweetiepie)!

And though we'll hopefully get to visit around some, we Ballicai probably won't be able to do anothur bloggie post 'til aftur Chrissymouse.

So we wanna wish everybody a wunnerful and happy holiday season, and we wish you the bestest of Happy New Years in 2008! Love and purrs and kittyhugs to you all!

Meezer Mancat Monday: My Box of Life

I was taggied by my beeyootiful sweetiepie Ariel and by my Royal Meezer furriend Yao-lin to do preshus Miss Peachy's meme about treasures in my Box of Life. And since Marilyn had her Gotcha Day the othur day, I was thinkin about how I'm a lucky kitty, just like her.

I showed up in Momma and Daddy's back yard as a stray kitty, just like Marilyn did, only I greeted Momma and Daddy one day when they was comin out of the garage / shop. And there I was, sittin close to the doorway, a li'l snowshoe Siamese kitten lookin up at them.

Momma smiled at me and said, "Well. Who are you?" And I answured her... I told her "MAO."

Here's what I looked like back then, almost a year ago. Momma sez I've alwayz been one of the handsumest kittyboys she's efur seen, but when her and Daddy first metted me, I was a scrapper of a kitten -- kinda scrawny and little.



And here's what I look like now, as a Mancat and as I get closur to a year in my fureffur home (I'll celebrate my Gotcha Day annivurshury of comin in the housie on Febroowary 19). You can tell I've gotted a lot biggur and filled out cuz of alla the good foodies I eat, and I look furry happy cuz of all the love I get frum my fambly.



Whatta diffrunce, huh!

1. So my fureffur home and my Momma and my Daddy are the furry first things I put in my Box of Life. Bekause if I hadn't met my Momma and Daddy and founded my fureffur home, none of the other treasures in my Box of Life could be there.

Here are my othurs:

2. My big bruther Brainball aka King Leonidas. He is my bestest furriend. We snooze togethur, play togethur, eat togethur, go on Alpha Patrols togethur, cuddle togethur, and rassle togethur. He is my mentor, too. I learn a lot about how to be a great and noble Mature Mancat frum him.




Here we are snoozin in boxies togethur. You can see where Brainball munched on his. He loves munchin cardboard. He munches and spits, munches and spits. He's a funny feller.



3. My beeyootiful sweetiepie Ariel. She is an inspirashun to me and so sweet and kind and fun and feisty. I love her furry much. She is a wunnerful friend, too, and when I get just a little bit oldur I'm going to ask her to marry me. Here is a beeyootiful pickshure she made of me and her snugglin.



4. My sisturs Dorydoo and Marilyn. I love them furry much. I like to chase 'em and make Marilyn go "rrrrr" and Dorydoo go "SQUEEK!" Marilyn is sweet to me as long as I don't pestur her too much, and sometimes she gives me nose kissies, and me and Dorydoo, ofur time, have bekome furry good furriends and we love to play Thunderin Hurd of Ellefants and chase-and-rassle togethur.





5. Alla the wunnerful furriends and fambly I've made on the Cat Bloggiesphere. Momma sez the Cat Bloggiesphere is the sweetest, most loving and caring place onna Innernets.

6. Alla the superduper toys in the wurld that make life so much fun -- evil coffee stirrurs, toilet paper cores, catnip bananers, tail chasurs, drainstops, rugs, bags, trashie cans, papur towels, window blinds... huh Mom? Some of them thingies aren't ackseptable toys? Uhmmm. Yeah, yeah... I knew that.. okeydokey, to kontinue: milk rings, catnip mousies, cardboard boxies, the shoelaces on Daddy's boots. The whole wurld is my kitty toy!

A Wunnerful New Furriend!

We Ballicai made a wunnerful new furriend today. Her name is Chase, and our furriend Monty Q. innerduced her on his bloggie!

Chase is a furry speshul kitty -- sweet, strong, and curageous. She was in a bad accident when she was youngur and bekause of that, she doesn't look like other kitties. But that doesn't matter. She's a beeyootiful kitty girl both inside and out, and she works hard as a therapy kitty to help the beans. She also has a loving, fabyoolus Momma who takes great care of her and gives her lots and lots of kitty kisses!

Chase, we and our beans love you! And we're sendin' you great big kittyhuggies.

We Ballicai also wanted to say that we're keepin' Skeezy's Mr. Tasty Face in our thoughts and purrs. We hope Mr. TF is feelin bettur furry soon!
