Rosie Gives Apache Posing Advice

2012-09-06T08:30:00.000-04:00

Hi Furiends!

Rosie and I have been having fun letting Mom take pictures of us. Here's how it turned out!

Mom: Look pretty, Apache!

Rosie: No offense, Apache, but you look like an awkward school kid.

Apache: Should I show my teeth?

Rosie: *Gives the stink eye*

Apache: OK, Rosie, what do you suggest?

Rosie: Just look natural and be yourself. No, wait. Try to look like a CALM version of yourself.

Apache: Like this?

Rosie: Now you've got it! But for extra bonus points (aka extra treats) you need to make irresistible eyes at Mom like this.

Apache: Got it. Let me try.

Rosie: Nice touch - upside down irresistible eyes. There may be hope for you yet, Apache!

A Very Important Message from Rosie

2012-09-04T02:02:00.002-04:00

Hi everybuddy! It's me...Rosie!

Have you missed my sweet face? I missed all of our furiends during our hiatus, so I'm happy to be back. My brothers tease me that I'm too forgiving of Mom for things like that, but she gives the best tummy rubs and chin scritches!

Anyway, I have posted about something very IMPORTANT about heartworms (ewwww) at the Angel's Hope blog today. Please go over and take a look here: http://www.angelshopeinc.org/2012/09/04/can-cats-get-heartworm/

Belated Gotcha Day

2012-08-25T15:22:00.000-04:00

Hello furiends! Thursday was my (Teal'c's) Gotcha Day. We didn't celebrate until Friday, though. I won't say that Mom forgot, but...she seemed awfully apologetic when she saw the comments on our blog. So on Friday, we had a little party. I had so much fun! I got some tasty Temptations cat treats in my favorite flavor - chicken! They came complete with this nifty ribbon on them. I thought the ribbon was ok, but my brofur Kaleb got much more fun out of it than I did. He loves to chew on ribbon. Since he's my brofur and all, I let him have it.

All in all, it was a good day. The d*g left me alone, I got plenty of treats and tummy scritches, and I napped all day long. Naps and food, that's my kind of life.

Purrs,
Teal'c

Plans and Other Uninteresting Human Things

2012-08-23T21:24:00.000-04:00

Hi everybuddy! We will aim to post once a week at least, over the next few weeks. Our servants are going on a weekend trip this week and then a vacation at the beginning of September. Can you believe they're not taking us with them? They said something about how it would be too hard to take a baby, a dog, and three cats but they'll have someone nice to take care of us.

Actually, that's okay. I forgot how much we hate to travel. Whenever I'm in a car, I groan and hiss and make all sorts of fretful noises to show my displeasure with the humans. That may be due to the fact that the only time we cats travel is to go to the V-E-T. Yuck. The dog would go anywhere with them and doesn't even know when she's going to the vet. That's a dog for ya.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend. We play to sit in the windows, catch lots of sun rays, and stay far, far away from the dog.

Apache Asks Advice

2012-08-15T22:57:00.000-04:00

Hi everybuddy!

It's me, Apache. I know what you may be thinking -- this is a cat blog! Why is this dog here? Well, I wanted to ask some advice from you feline types. My question is...

Why won't Rosie, Kaleb, and Teal'c play with me?

I'm a nice girl.

I have big ears for listening.

Big teeth for ~~chomping~~ smiling.

And come on, look at me. I'm fabulous. But they never want to play. I try to chase them, but they run. I bark at them (how else am I supposed to talk?) and I'm met with hisses every time. They even swat me when I walk by. How can I make myself more approachable?

Sincerely,
Apache

P.S. Please overlook all the stuffs in the background. The human baby had a birthday recently and all the toys still haven't been unpacked. The upside to the human baby is that I steal his toys sometimes and make them my own.

Kaleb the Grump

2012-08-13T00:27:00.000-04:00

It's me, Kaleb. As you can see, I am still quite the manly mancat. I have become a little older and a little grumpier since you last saw me, but I'm also a little bit more awesome. I spend my days napping and staying away from the boy and the d*g.

It's been nice catching up with my furiends over the past couple of days!

Change (aka A Cat's Worst Nightmare)

2012-08-12T18:06:00.001-04:00

Wow! Has it really been MORE THAN TWO YEARS since we've done a post? That's crazy. And totally Mom's fault, because you know the servants are supposed to do the typing.

There's so much that's new around here. Some we like and some we don't. As you saw in one of our previous posts before the two year hiatus, we have a D.O.G. That's right...a dog. Her name is Apache and she is a MONSTER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS! The humans like her, though, so that's all we'll say about that.

There's also another baby. A human one. He's ok. We liked him better when he slept most of the time, but now he crawls around on all fours PRETENDING TO BE ONE OF US, but he's not. We usually stay far away from him, too. It's not that we don't like him, but we're not sure he can be trusted. He seems to like the dog too much.

Here's a picture of the new (1 year old) baby:

What do you think, Furiends? Trust him or not?

Rosie's Gotcha Day

2010-03-21T05:24:00.004-04:00

Did you know today was my Gotcha Day? I came to live with Mom and Dad several years ago (I won't say how many because I don't want to reveal my age!). I'm very glad Mom and Dad rescued me and brought me home. Hope everyone has a great Sunday. There's a new bag of Temptations calling my name!

More Apache

2010-03-18T08:54:00.002-04:00

Mom is EXHAUSTED from having a new puppy in the house but thankfully she is still making time to snuggle with all of us every day. She will post some pictures of us over the weekend, but for now, here is a picture of APACHE THE TERRIBLE! Mom says she is part German Shepherd and part Hound, but we think she is part piranha. We have given her a few good whacks when she gets too annoying, but she usually lets us alone. Guess we can live with that!

You Won't Believe It!

2010-03-16T12:23:00.002-04:00

Well brothers and sisters, it has been a long time once more. Again, lots of things have been happening. Mommy is still working WAY too much for our liking. In December, her mom (our grandmom) passed away and Mom was very sad for a long time. She is doing better, though.

But...

But...

You will not believe what she has done to us. One day, we were put in the bedroom for a while and thought Mom and Dad must have been working on another project as usual (they put us up sometimes because they don't think us snooping around power tools is always safe). But, no. We emerged from the bedroom and saw this VICIOUS ANIMAL in our very own house!

What do you mean she doesn't look vicious?

Well, ok, maybe she isn't, but she sure is annoying when she hops at us, wagging her tail. Mom says she just wants to play, but we just aren't sure about her yet. Oh, her name is Apache. Mom adopted her from a local shelter (that picture above was taken of her at the shelter). It's nice that she has a home now and all, but she'd better realize that we rule the roost around here.

What Happens Next?

2009-11-03T17:59:00.003-05:00

Can you guess what happened after this picture was snapped?

Hi!

2009-11-01T05:30:00.004-05:00

Furiends,

We are so sorry we've been away for a long, long time. Mommy got another job and is now working loads and loads at 2 jobs (though she won't complain because lots of people have ZERO jobs). We will try to post now and then despite her busy schedule. Lots has happened! But for now, here are some quick pics. We are all ok aside from missing Mommy now that she does not work at home all the time. Hope you had lots of treats for Halloween!

So Sorry, We LIED

2009-05-20T12:16:00.002-04:00

We did not mean to, but we told a LIE. We said we would put up videos a few days ago and we have not. Bad Mommy for not sticking to what she said. :( Our home is just going through lots of changes right now (good ones!) and we are trying to keep up. We will post pics of our pawesome toys soon, but in the mean time, here's a pic (sorry it's grainy) of someone's nose (guess who's?) Mom snapped with her phone.

Me AGAIN!

2009-05-16T05:09:00.002-04:00

Wow, I get to post again today. Three days in a row. I feel SPECIAL! We are a little bit busy today but tomorrow we have LOTS to post. We have two or three awards to display AND some pics and video of us playing with our new toys! Don't forget to check back tomorrow.

Smooches from all of us,
but mostly from me,
Teal'c

Thinking Hard

2009-05-15T00:01:00.000-04:00

I am thinking real hard. Can you see me concentrating?

Boy Am I Tired

2009-05-13T22:14:00.003-04:00

All this snoopervising Mom while she works has me beat! I'm looking forward to the weekend. How are all of our furiends out there doing?

Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-10T20:02:00.003-04:00

We are a bit late getting our post up but wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the catmoms out there!

Kaleb says:
I have been with Mom for 6 whole years now! Here are 6 things I love about Mom:
1. She gives me Eskimo kisses.
2. She giggles about how wet my nose is when she gives me Eskimo kisses!
3. She gives waaaaay better cuddles than Dad. He just don't do it right.
4. She calls me Handsome every day.
5. She makes sure I have plenty of food in my tummy.
6. She's fun to chase through the hallway!

Rosie says:
I have been with Mommy for 4 years even though I am 5 years old. Here are 4 things I love about her:
1. She's very warm to sleep with.
2. She has a soft voice.
3. She was very patient with me even when I was scairt of her.
4. Out of all the kitties at the shelter 4 years ago, she chose ME! So she has excellent tastes.

Teal'c says:
I have been with Mom for 3 years. Here are 3 of my favorite things about her:
1. She brushes my long furs.
2. She lets me go to every room with her all day long (I follow her everywhere!)
3. She tries her best to protect me from my vishus sister Rosie and her claws of doom.

Photohunters: In Memory

2009-05-09T05:43:00.003-04:00

This week's photohunt theme is In Memory. This is in memory of Mom's brother who passed away 10 months ago. He was 39 years old and had a very rare skin cancer called merkel cell carcinoma. His name is Donnie.

Donnie is Mom's oldest brother and helped teach her how to walk when she was a baby. He sent her funny monies for her to show to her class from places like Egypt and Saudi Arabia when he was stationed overseas during the Gulf War. He even took her on her very first (and only) trip to a zoo! Mom says he made the best ham and cheese omelets ever.

He gave us delicious kitty treats and petted us when he came to visit. Mom misses him a lot. We do, too. This is the tree his ashes were scattered under at Fort Bragg cemetery.
