* Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.

* Tag some blogger friends with links.

* Leave a comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.

Okeydokey, here goes:

1. I love alla my sibs, but I'm speshully close to Brainball. He's not just my big bruther, he's my bestest furriend inna whole wide wurld. And he's my mentor and he's so much fun to rassle with and play with. He's also comfycozy to snuggle and snooze with, too. Here he is, sharin his shirt with me.






2. I talk a LOT. I say MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO!!!!! I MAO in the mornin and I MAO inna affernoon and I MAO at night. I MAO when I want somethin yummy, I MAO when I wanna play, I MAO when I wanna cuddle. And lotsa times, I MAO just so I can hear myself MAO!

3. When I get ecksited -- I mean, really really really hyper-spazzy ecksited -- I BARK. And when I bark, I leap into the air, then I tear thru the housie at about a skwillion miles an hour.

4.I love love love watur! Brainball and Dorydoo like drinkin watur outta the sinkie, but they don't like gettin it on their furs. Marilyn won't efun go in the sinkie fur a drink. But I get inna sinkies -- both inna baffroom and the kitchun -- to PLAY with the watur. I get down inna sinkie and try to WHAP it. Sometimes I get inna toilet cuz it just drives me crazy wunnerin where alla that watur goes when the beans flush!

5. Efun though I MAO a lot, I have a furry quiet purr. I purr, but you've gotta be superduper close to me to hear.

6. I've lived with Momma and Daddy and the othur Ballicai fur almost a year and a half now, and not in alla the time Momma and Daddy have known me have I efur HISSED. I nefur get mad at anykitty or anyone.

I think lotsa kitties have already done this meme, but if you haven't, konsidur yurself taggied!

Meezer Mancat Monday: Blogging Star!

Kool Beaniez! I'm a star!


Auntie Dorothy, a superduper friend of Momma's who blogs at Scrungy's Creator, gave me and Marilyn a really nice award today, and our great furriend Gretchen told us about it: the Blogging Star Awardie.

The awardie was created by a bean named Barb at Skittles' Place. Here's what Barb says about the awardie:

This award is for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures. We all know more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition?

She also says:

Here's what to do if you receive this:

• Proudly display it on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.
• Mention that it originated here at Skittles' Place so I can follow its journey.
• Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.

Wowie kazowie, I'm furry happy and furry touched! Thankies so much, Gretchen and Auntie Dorothy -- I'm so tickled I'm gonna spazz all ofur the housie, and if Momma's not careful, I'm gonna sharpen my claws on her butt like I tried to earlier today when I was wantin' her to give me more stinky goodness! hehehe, ain't beans fun??

(don't worry, Momma don't have an owie. I was just tryin' to get her attenshun -- I kept MAOin' at her and she MAOed back at me -- me and Momma have MAOversashuns, MAO MAO MAO MAO ecksept Momma can't MAO as good as I can -- but I didn't wanna have a MAOversashun, I wanted more stinky goodness, DAG-NABBIT!)

Anyways! Before I get all spazzy, I'm gonna pass the Blogging Star Awardie to:

My bee-yootiful sweetiepie Ariel -- she's a shinin' star not only inna Cat Bloggiesphere, bein' such a sweet furriend to effurycat, but she's the shinin' star in my heart

My buddy Caesar and his sistur Prinnie -- Caesar's my twin sepurated at burth and by time, and he and Prinnie's bloggie always makes me happy

My buddy Jeter -- he's lotsa fun and so sweet and nice to effurycat, and I love his motto "life is GRATE"

And me and Marilyn are both givin' the awardie to our cousin Gretchen -- she gave us the awardie from our Auntie Dorothy, but she doesn't have the awardie herself, and she deserves it because she's a wunnerful Blogging Star, too!

How Do I Spaz? Let Me Count the Ways...

Okey dokey, today I'm gonna talk about SPAZZIN'. I've been furry sad with so many kitties goin' to the Bridge, and I've built up a lotta energy that's just gotta come out.



So I'm gonna spaz, and I hope you kitties will join me! You wanna know how I spaz? Well, here are just a few of the ways:

1. When Momma makes coffee first thing aftur gettin' up, I've gotta SNOOPERVISE. I jump up onna counter and RUNRUNRUN (with my butt inna air) ofur to where she's rinsin' out the coffee pot, and I get inna sink and bat around at the watur while she's fillin' up the pot.

2. The bathroom is my LAIR. Often I sleep in my lair, ecksept I ain't talkin' about sleepin' in this postie, I'm talkin' about SPAZZIN'. So anytime I kill an evil coffee stirrer, I take it into my LAIR to give it the big bitey.

3. And speakin' of evil coffee stirrers and lairs, I can't figyure out where they all come from. I kill 'em, but there always manages to be MORE of 'em. I think they've gotta have some kind of Evil Coffee Stirrer Lair. And I've simply gotta find out where it is so I can proteckt my beans! Which leads me to...

4. I go around and pull out alla the drain stops inna housie because I'm thinkin' that wayyyy down in there is where the Evil Coffee Stirrer Lair has gotta be.

5. My momma likes to drink tea outta plastic bottles that have them cool little plastic caps. And effury time she gets a tea outta the fridgie, I jump up on her desk and wait fur her to take the bottle cap off. She does and lays it onna desk fur me, and then... MAO-ABUNGA!!!!... I sneak up on it and then I POUNCE on it and knock it offa her desk, then bat it all ofur the floor like it was a hockey puck.

6. Playin' with my foodies is FUN! Especially my dry foodies. I bat a piece of foodie outta the bowl and knock it way far away. Then I stalk it, run up on it, and bat it way far away again. So I spaz all ofur the kitchen, tryin' to catch the piece of foodie. Then when I get tired of battin' that piece of foodie around, I eat it, and then I knock ANUTHUR piece outta my bowl and do the same thing.

7. Ambushin' my sisturs is FUN! Especially jumpin' on Brainball and grabbin' her in a headlock and gettin' her to rassle. I also love to play chase with Dorydoo. We've got to be bettur friends and we play chase back and forth, and it cracks me up the way she SQUEEKS. I know that I hafta stop messin' with her, though, when she screams at me, or I'll get a whap. Marilyn sometimes plays chase with me, too, but she's real gurly-gurl and she ain't much fur rasslin'.

8. I like climbin' up my Momma's leg! I've got bettur at doin' this to where I don't poke her with my clawsies and only poke at her clothes. Well mostly. Sometimes she still sez OW MAO, OW MAO and I know I've gotta be more careful.

9. I love racin' back and forth through the housie fur no partickular reason at all ecksept it feels GOOD. Just spazzin' fur spazzin's sake, and sayin' MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO alla way! What a rush! The only thing that would make it bettur would be if I had my own little kitty crotch rocket (racing moturcycle). Then I'd have to MAO extra-loud to MAO ofur the sound of the motur!

10. Ariel, my sweetiepie, my bee-yootiful gurlkittyfurriend with the rebel yell! Come spaz with me, come spaz, come spaz! hehehehehe...

We Ballicai will be participating in Silence & Remembrance, hosted by Kashim & Othello, and we'll light our candle on Saturday.

The Seven Ps Meme

My furriends Bounce, Lucy and Trixie taggied me for the Seven Ps Meme! YIPPEE!!!! I got so ecksited that I started a rasslin' match with Brainball. See, I'm rasslin' so fast I'm a BLUR!

And if Brainball don't quit watchin' Momma with the flashy box, I'm gonna leap on her and get her inna headlock! Brainball, that is. Not Momma. I'm not sure I could get Momma inna headlock cuz Momma's bigger than Brainball!




Here's the rules fur the Seven Ps Meme:

In an attempt to get to know fellow bloggers a little better, this new meme was started called the 7 P’s. Fill out the 7 P’s and tag five blogs that you read on a regular basis. Have fun!

Passion -My sweetiepie Ariel! My furry biggest passion's fur her. She's the bestest gurlfurriendkitty inna wurld -- she's so bee-yootiful and so sweet and spunky and so much fun and I love her! And she's a rebel, too! Kool beaniez. Let's see, other passions are rasslin' with my sistur Brainball, spazzin' all ofur the housie, seein' where all I can find to climb and jump, findin' yummy stuffies to eat, makin' my sistur Dorydoo SQUEEK, and playin' pawsies undur the baffroom door with my sistur Marilyn. Oh, and sometimes I write poetry! My poetry coach, Jeter, is helpin' me with this. And my sistur Marilyn, too.

Purpose -My purpose is to SPAZ and have fun. Yeahyeahyeah! The whole wurld's my kitty toy! And my purpose is also to kill evil coffee stirrers. Beans can't see how evil they are, but we kitties can, and all of us Ballicai are really good at protecktin' our beans from them awful things! My purpose is also to pull up alla the drain stops inna housie and to remind my momma and daddy what my name is by always sayin' MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO MAO!!!!! I don't think they'll furget annytime soon, do you??

Pursuit – Heh. I pursue EFFURYTHING!!! If it moves, I pursue it. And it don't efun have to move fur me to pursue it. Effurything is a toy. Efun my sisturs. They're some of the bestest toys! I love rasslin', I love chasin', I love ambushin' my sisturs as they walk by, and me and Brainball have the best rasslin' matches there efur was.

Position -My favorite position is crouched down, waitin' to POUNCE! To SPRING! To grab somekitty inna headlock, to kill an evil coffee stirrer, to leap on toilet paper cores and then bat 'em around. And my other favorite position is a BLUR -- spazzin' out, runnin' about a squillion miles an hour all ofur the housie, knockin' my foodies outta the bowl and stalkin' and then eatin' 'em, gettin' Momma to take the lids off her tea bottles and lettin' me use 'em fur hockey pucks!

Pummeling -I pummel the most when I RASSLE. And I love rasslin'. Me and Brainball rassle the most, though me and Dorydoo are gettin' to be bettur and bettur furriends alla time, so we rassle sometimes, too, which is 'specially fun 'cause when we rassle I make her SQUEEK, but when she starts screamin' at me, I hafta stop rasslin' unless I wanna getta WHAP.

Progress -Brainball's teachin' me all about how to be an Alpha Cat: patrollin' our perimeter, watchin' outta windows for strange critters, how to look aftur effurykitty inna housie and our beans. She tells me I'm a quick study -- that I'm doin' a really good job and learnin' a whole lot. She's not just my big sistur, she's my mentor, and she's the bestest sistur a boykitty could have!

Personality -I'm a SPAZ. Yeah, you already knew that, didn't ya? Well, I'm superduper friendly and easygoing. I'm a little bit shy with beans at first if I don't know 'em. But when it comes to kitties, I don't know a stranger. I love effurykitty and I make friends so easily -- I've nefur met a kitty I couldn't make furriends with. And when I ain't spazzin', I love to be rubbed, I love face skritches from momma and daddy, and when I'm really calm, I love snugglin' in laps. But I have to be superduper calm fur that cuz it's hard for me to sit still for too long! And there isn't hardly nothin' that skeers me. I efun love thunderboomers! They're KOOL.

And let's see, I'm gonna tag:

My sweetiepie Ariel
My buddy Jeter (he'll be home soon -- yippee!!)
My buddies Caesar and Prinnie
My buddy Jimmy Joe

The Middle Name Meme!

In my last blog postie, I was thinkin' about what spazzy thing I oughta do next. Well, I figured it out pretty quick -- I started a game of box wars with my sistur Brainball, and here we are in the box and I've got her in a headlock!


I was tagged by my sweetiepie Ariel to do the Middle Name Meme! Sounds like a lotta funsies.

Let's see, what's my middle name, anyhow? I guess it's Mao since my full name is Chairman Mao, and my last name is the same as Momma and Daddy's family name. So MAO it is!

Here's the rules for the meme:

1. Post the rules before you give the facts.

2. List one fact that is somehow relevant to you and your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. When you are tagged you need to write your post using your middle name and facts about it.

4. At the end of your post, choose one cat to tag for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to let each cat know she/he has been tagged. (It's okay if you don't do this... tag who you want to tag!)

Okeydokey, here goes:

M =Mischeevious! I'm always runnin' around aftur my sisturs, wantin' to play with 'em. Brainball and me are really good playmates, but Dorydoo and me are gettin' along bettur these days, too, and we play chase a lot and box wars but she still hollers at me a lot. I think she just likes to holler, though, and I like makin' her holler cuz it's funny. And I chase Marilyn, too, but Marilyn don't much like to be chased though she and me do nose kissies a lot. And I love to bat at my sisturs when they're in the poopy boxes! They get the funniest looks on their faces when I do that, and it just cracks me up effury single time.

A = Acktive. I've gotta heck of a lotta energy. I sleep, sure, but I'm on the go a whole, whole lot. I love to SPAZ! And I'm really really kurious about effurything! I've gotta check out efurrything and annything that looks innarestin' and I can rassle and chase alla my sisturs into the ground -- they all wear out before I do, efun Dorydoo (and she's really high enurgy, too)!

O = One. That's around how old I am. Momma and Daddy don't know my purrfday but my Gotcha Day is Febyooary 19, and when they brought me into the housie they thought I was prob'ly around eight or nine months old. So that makes me a little ofur a year old now. I'm a mancat but I've still gotta lotta boykitty in me! But my sweet gurlkittyfurriend Ariel doesn't mind that, and when I get a little more growed up, I'm gonna ask her to marry me!

And I tag my furriends Kimo & Sabi, Jeter, and Yao-lin.

Box Wars!

Daddy got a new 'pooter case today, and that means that we Ballicai got a nice, new box to play with! Wowie! And the minute Momma put the box inna kitchun fur us, me and Dorydoo went to town.

Here I am, in the box, wonduring where Dorydoo is. I know she can't be far away.

Dorydoo, Dorydoo, where are you...?

Where, oh where, could she be....

EEK!!! There's Dorydoo, right outside the boxie! Only a flap's sepuratin' us! hehehe, Box Wars are about to start!

And Dorydoo sez GERONIMO!!!!!! Here she comes, to rassle my fuzzy butt into the ground! Or further into the box, anyhow! I love rasslin', and Dorydoo is a furry good rassler. And I love the funny little squeaky noises she makes when she rassles!

And here's a pickshure of us takin' a (little) break and lookin' at Momma. Momma brightened up the piskshure a whole lot so you can see Dorydoo, but I'm too far back in the box fur you to see much of me ecksept for maybe a little bit of my white pawsies.

Dorydoo and I had so much fun today! We're gettin' to be bettur and bettur friends, and that makes me happy. Marilyn and Brainball are both oldur and wear out quicker, but me and Dorydoo are both young kitties and can play good and hard! WHEE!

(Oh, a note: we're havin' trubble gettin' to some of our furriends bloggies! Fur some reason we can't get the bloggies of Faz, Kellie, Adan, Miss Peach, or Fat Eddy to load. But we're gonna keep tryin' to get in and maybe if it's Blogger doin' somethin' weird, it'll get its act straight!)

Proverb Meme

My buddy Skeezix tagged me fur a meme! I get to make up a proverb. Kool Beaniez!

A proverb is a simple and concrete saying popularly known and repeated, which expresses a truth, based on common sense or the practical experience of mankind. They are often metaphorical.

hehe, this is easy-sneezy. Here's mine:

Be efur on guard, for coffee stirrers are not only eevil but sneeky.



See there! An evil coffee stirrer snucked up on me after I'd snucked up on the counter. A sneeky coffee stirrer sneeking up on sneeky MaoMao! Can you believe it!

Remember, when dealin' with evil coffee stirrers, the watchwurd is always....

BANZAI!!!!!


(Momma really likes my Banzai pickshure.)

Here's how to play the Proverb Meme: write your own proverb, link back to whoeverkitty taggied you, and then tag however many otherkitties you want.

I'm gonna tag...

My sweetiepie Ariel
My buddy Jeter
My buddy Henry

Tuckered-Out Tuesday

I'm plumb tuckered out, and I'm nappin' on Dad's workbench in his project roomie. Kind of a mancatly thingie to do, don'tcha think?

I've been spazzin' and spazzin' all day. I've been battin' toilet paper cores and killin' EVIL coffee stirrers and keepin' a close watch on them freaky-lookin' toothbrushie thingies and pullin' up drainstops and playin' with the water in the sinkie (that's FUN!) and jumpin' on the counter and knockin' stuff off the top of the fridge thingie and watchin' the toilet flushie and tryin' to climb up the blinds (but I'm not surposed to do that and momma made me quit) and tryin' to explore the trashcans (but I'm not surposed to do that and momma made me quit, DAGNABBIT).

I've also been chasin' my sistur Marilyn around the house (she got tired of it and hissed at me then jumped up on the JVC receiver to get away frum me -- GIRLZ!), I've been aggravatin' holy heck outta my sistur Dorydoo (she hisses at me a whole lot but I know she secretly likes to be chased 'cause she chases me back, hehehe).

And Brainball's teachin' me about bein' a big bad butt-kickin' Alpha Cat, and I'm surposed to go on patrol with her in just a little while. I'm a worn out mancat, lemme tell ya what! A mancat's work is nefur done.

Fur now, I'm gonna catch a few more zzzzzz's and dream sweet dreams of my sweet girlfurriendkitty, Ariel.

I'm a Blur!

I move so fast most of the time, it's hard for Momma to get a picture of me!



Okay, okay, Momma, I'll sit still. Really, I will. .... hey, what's that... oh, fiddle-fardle finkle-fart! I gotta go after it, I gotta go after it...



All right, Momma! This time, I'll sit still. ***squeak, squeak, squeak*** Is that Dorydoo? Oh DAGNABBIT, she's comin' after me, she's gonna kick my butt! Gotta run, gotta run...



Yeah, yeah, Dorydoo, whatever.. girlz... *click*, huh whazzat? Well, how do ya like that... Momma lucked out. She finally got a picture of me where I'm nut a blur.
