A Sweets Life

Cats in Movies, Take One!

If you will notice, these cats are quite ingenious, citing several small pieces of wisdom throughout their song. Hiding in a fish bowl to catch a fish is a near-flawless method. Looking around babies for milk is another pearl of knowledge. These twin cats were clearly the best part of the movie, as the rest of the film is nothing but smelly dogs. Enjoy!

Silly Humans Do My Bidding

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:32:00 +0000

The human servants did not commit fully to my punishment and released me from my solitary confinement mere moments after declaring the punishment. I've even gotten a present from this ordeal, a new scratchpost for the upstairs! Those humans are suckers for a sweet kitty face and a soft meow! Now if only they would open this door and let me outside!

Solitary Confinement

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 15:40:00 +0000

It's not my fault that the tall wooden, nice furniture upstairs looks like trees in a forest. It's not my fault that my first natural instinct is to scratch on those trees. Well, that's what happened. Humans think it some sick joke to trick us cats with their fake trees, and then punish us for serving our natural cat-ly urges. So now I am in the basement for a while. I shouldn't complain, my catbox, scratchpost, food, water, favorite basket, carpet and comfy couch are all down here for my enjoyment. Though it just doesn't seem fair somehow. Trees are trees, I tell you!

Well, I heard them talk about getting me a second scratchpost for the upstairs, so maybe it will all work out after all. Those scratchposts are soooo satisfying to scratch!

Advice to ManCats: The Importance of the Close Up

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:58:00 +0000

Fellow mancats, let me stress the importance of a good close-up. Not only will the ladycats come running when they take a look at your deep, dreamy eyes, but also the humans will fawn over your masculinity and general fantastic cat-ness which will result in treats. Yes, you heard me, treats. I received several Temptations for this shot. But note that you should not give away the close up shot too often. No one wants to buy the cow if you can get the milk for free.

Spring Again

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:30:00 +0000

I like spring. Sunshine to lay in, squirrels to eat, birds to talk to, open windows to sneak out of...It really is a great time of year. I have been tirelessly plotting my escape from this house, checking all windows and doors for a potential exit point. I don't plan on going too far, don't know why the human servants get so upset. I just want to go eat the squirrels. Is that so wrong? Squirrels are meant to be eaten, they have no other purpose. No really, can you think of one?

Moving Is Very Stressful

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:47:00 +0000

Well, we moved again, this time back east. 6 months in Seattle, not long enough! Talk about fishies. Lots and lots, and lots of fishies. Must EAT fishies. Ehem, anyway, Servant One dragged me back to PA into the woods. I guess its alright. Squirrels need eating too. I already caught a mouse. He was delicious! I like to wash to help with the stress of moving. Then I like to wash some more. I guess the woods ain't so bad. We'll see.

New City, New Friends, Old Habits

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:45:00 +0000

Greetings again friends, from a new city. As many of you recall I was last seen in Middle-of-nowhere, Pennsylvania, dealing with those ever eviiil rabbits. Well, I have since decided to move across country. Servant One and I loaded up her car and drove the 40-some hours to Seattle, Washington. I was generous and decided to be calm in the car for my owners benefit. She was quite impressed by my good behavior! I found the whole en devour quite boring and slept most of the way.

I suppose Seattle is a pretty place. The seafood is fantastic, though my servant is picky about what she lets me eat, the nerve! But the city itself was okay. I even accepted the moving in of Servant Two. The more people to wait on me, the better, I say. I was surprised by the presence of some other ... thing.

...The thing's name is Nemo. He clearly lacks sophistication and grace, though is amusing enough. Servant One just better remember who is the boss around here, or the furniture will pay the price!

Well, maybe he isn't so bad.

Bunnies are a good source of protein.

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 18:38:00 +0000

Hmmm, tasty bunny. How I would love to chase you around the yard. If only I could escape, then you would be safe in my stomach. Oh elusive rabbit, with your long pointy ears! You hop about so gleefully, mocking me and my hunter instincts! Oh why was I destined to be an indoor cat! Why oh why! Oh, is it dinner time? Okay, maybe the indoors are not so bad.

There is much importance in being well groomed.

Relaxing, Finally!

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:24:00 +0000

I am very excited that things are winding down for a bit of relaxation. I have been very busy running around, playing with my beloved mouse toy, and talking to the birds from my new perch. Birds are tasty. There was a family of birds near one of the windows and I would sit there for hours and talk to the mom. I don't think she was pleased with me, though I can't imagine why. Maybe she doesn't know how tasty she is? I just don't understand it. Silly birds.

Reunited, and Congrats Human Servant!

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 13:08:00 +0000

Yay! Today my human servant returned from away and we have officially moved out. Just don't ask my human where we are going. I'm pretty sure that she has no idea. See, my human is a recent college graduate. Actually, she just graduated last Sunday! I would have been there but no kitties were allowed in the stadium (horrible rule, it will change when I become supreme kitty ruler of the universe). Anyway, congrats to my human servant who can now add 'college graduate' on her resume, under 'litter box cleaner' and 'catnip dispenser.' Here are some pictures from the event.

I assume she is one of those dots...or she skipped the entire ceremony and no one was the wiser.

Here is my human servant #1 with her diploma/tasty looking scratchy piece of paper.

Here she is with her family, Servants 3-8.

Moving On Up

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:52:00 +0000

Thank you everyone for your purrs and support while I dealt with scary neighbors, and I have good news! My human was scared to leave me home alone so she took a couple days off to drop me off at her parents. They have offered to look after me for a week or two. This is very exciting. Servants 3 and 4 offer a lot of pets and treats! Although my poor human is lonesome, she is very happy knowing that I am safe while she finishes up what needs done. Its okay, human, look how happy I am! :D

Easy Like Sunday

(Insert your own caption here.) ;)

Or I'll steal a saying from my servant's father.

"Hard work? You bet."

Feeling Better, But Oh! The Trauma

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Sat, 31 May 2008 13:03:00 +0000

I am feeling better. The doc said it was just a cold and its all cleared up now. But my horrible human servant made them stick me with needles while we were there! Oh, the trauma of it all! 2 shots, one in each hip! I tried to get away, but there was no escape. It was awful. Though I got a treat afterwards, so I allowed the humans to pet me.

I am still very distressed, and not talking to my human for her insolence. Hah! You shall have the cold shoulder. So there!

Apologies and Worries

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Tue, 27 May 2008 00:52:00 +0000

Apologies to all my kitty furrends as things have been a little crazy and I have not been able to visit as much as I would like! I've been very busy supervising my human's packing. In a couple weeks here we are moving to Pennsylvania for a few months. I am very excited because that means I get extra love and attention and outside time. Though honestly I feel a little under the weather. I haven't been using the litter box or holding down food as well as I should. My human servant made me some type of appointment for this week to find out whats going on. She hopes its just stress and will wear off with the move. My servant is worried that it is something more malicious as she has been having issues with our current neighbors. Yesterday, she found a cat treat shoved under the front door, though it was not a treat that we keep in the apartment so she knows I didn't do it.

All I can say is that the sooner we move, the better.

Moving is Hard Work

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Sun, 25 May 2008 16:08:00 +0000

My human servant is very lucky to have me supervise. Like today, as she was packing, I took a nice nap. Moving is stressful and requires lots of naps. The human doesn't seem to get it.

Nap Part 3

No, I Am Not A Blob

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:28:00 +0000

My human seemed set on photographing me from my worst side. What is it with these humans and their cameras anyway? She called me 'A Furry Blob of Destruction!' While I approve of the destruction part, I am not a blob. ...Unless it is a Blob of Excellence and Destruction! Hmm, perhaps being suspected as a blob is not so bad. Go on, let your guard down around the innocent kitty blob, then BLAMO! The kitty acts when you least suspect it. Makes perfect sense.

Angsty Cat Look

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Mon, 19 May 2008 16:36:00 +0000

Well, as it is mancat Monday, I am inclined to share a little lady-cat swooning look with all my fellow mancats out there. Its easy enough to do, and will establish you as an angst-ridden, sensitive yet rugged, handsome mancat. Heres the how to: Turn your head slightly to the left, and look off into the distance. Squint just a little. And think about a giant mound of catnip being just out of reach. Sad, isn't it? And there you go! Please use my "angsty cat look" as an example!

There you have it, mancats. Those lady cats don't stand a chance.

Nap Part 2

Sweets In A Box

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Fri, 16 May 2008 14:51:00 +0000

So I jumped inside these mysterious boxes......and they were empty! Where are the toys, human servant? I asked. Where is the box full of catnip treats? She did not reply. So like a human. Then someone named mooo-vher came to give an estimation of some sort. Don't know what this means. Could he be estimating how much catnip will fit in the boxes?

Hmmm.....I think I'll take a nap. All this thinking makes a kitty sleepy.

Mysterious Cardboard Furniture/Scratchy Post

noreply@blogger.com (Sweets the Cat) — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:26:00 +0000

Hmmmm....Something appears to be going on. Some of my knick-knacks have vanished, and these mysterious cardboard boxes are now scattered all through my space. While I appreciate the new fun furniture, I am suspicious. Are we going somewhere, human servant? She would not dare make plans without telling me, would she?

Hmmm....very mysterious.
