Word-Less Wednez-day: Peace at Last

Finally.. got my Saveur turkey issue back from Auntie Stinkie!!! & now I yam dreamin' about turkeys & peas!

Tux-ie Tum-ee Tuez-day

I am Dr Tweety’s frend & housemate, Delilah. Today I am showing my pet nip mousee that dadee bought me while momee was at the last antique show. I have heard that momee is leaving again this Friday & won’t be back until Monday!!! Can you believe it?

At this point, there is only one thing to do, & that is to inhale deeply of the nip, bite the mousee a few times, & roll onto my back & stay there until momee comes home. As you can see in the picture below, I have subdued the mousee quite nicely.

I thought the other cats in the blogo-sphere would like to see the perfect white hour-glass on my tummy & my glossy furs. I keep my furs glossy by eating at least six Greenies a day. But this is ALL the beans will give me. They say I am a “big girl.” Of course I am! I am a rat. A grey, glossy rat. That is what momee tells me every single day. Why should I disbelieve her?

Mon-day Pink Man-day

Today I yam wearin’ pink all over. Dis iz ‘cuz I do not have a pink wig to put on like Daisy & her momee. I don’t tink I would wear a wig howefur, even if I had one. So please do not send me any wigz!

I just wants to show da man-cats dat you can be furry manly, even while wearin’ pink. I wonder if da Governor Terminator would tink I waz a girlie girl? Well, dat is OK. I knowz I yam a man-cat. & no-onez can tellz me di-fur-rent!

Sat-ter-day iz hard to take!

Ok-ee-do-kee. Here I yam, just en-joyin' da Sat-er-day by layin' purple-dicular in my favo-rite chair... when all of a sudden.......... You guessed it! Da momee comez along & sticks dat cam-ruh in my face!

Da only reazon-abull ting to do iz bitey da strap & pull it outta her hand!

Den, if she rezists stoppin' da photo shoot, I just sticks my tongue out at her. Okay, I know dis iz bad of me, but what else can a cat do under deze de-plor-a-bull circum-dances? After all, not a treat-payment in sight!

Fry-day, tank Dawg its Fry-day

Here iz me, on da ta-bull again. I tink Fry-day iz a day to lounge. Dadee iz home wit us kitteez today & da poor momee iz stuck at work on her comp-hooter. But I have called her on da phone & told her what to say in my blog. I yam tryin’ to do yoga in dis pic, ‘cuz I tink da yoga will help tone my abz. Mini? Are you lookin’ at dis tum? I yam tryin’ fur da Him-uh-lay-ant poster boy of 2008. Will I make it? Or will my frecklez rule me in-illega-bull? Ptooey! Double hair-ballz if dey don’t pick me. My frendz luff me anywayz. & I love dem!

Henry Helton's Cherish Meme

Auntie Stinkie gets a kiss from Delilah


Henry Helton’s cherish meme

1. Tell us what is the most sweetest warm thing you will do to your mommy (what is the sweetest thing that your kitty will do to you)
2. And, hug your mommy, tightly... (and, hug your kitty....tightly...)
3. Tag your good friend...
4. Leave your computer, and continue to hug each other.

We got tagged by Henry a couple of days ago fur dis Cherish Meme, in honor of Miss Peach. So all of da catz in dis house are goin’ to play today:

1. Tell us what is the most sweetest warm thing you will do to your mommy:

Dr Tweety: Oh, dis iz easy!!! I will follow da momee out to da garden in da spring, summer & da fall, & sit wit her in da twy-lite. We watchez da veggy-tablez grow-up togedder. Den da momee makes me a special fire in da fire-bowl (dis iz not like a tuna bowl—dere iz no food in da fire bowl!) & I hang out wit da momee until da starz in da sky come out.

Maximillian da mad-Burr-man: I wait fur momee to come from work & den I comez out to da car to greet her & den I arch my back & sniff da car & straighten my tail & den I leadz her up da stairz & leaps onto da rail & walks down da rail to lead her across da porch to da front door. Momee could not get into the house if it were not fur me bein’ a good guard dawg. I am a husky. I know dis, ‘cuz she tellz me so.

Delilah: Oh goodie! I like this meme. I get up evfurry morning and help my momee to put her make-up on. Sometimes I like to bite my momee’s nose, and other times, I like to bite her toes. But best of all, I play the rat game almost evfurry night with momee. I crawl into my rat cave that my momee makes from the throw on the big chair and then I crawl in till you can’t see me, and then I peek out at her. But if she calls me by my name, I growl at her, because I really am a RAT when I am in my cave!

Iris: I just love momee’s hair. I like to play the piano in momee’s hair. And when she is sitting on her porcelain cat-box, I come in and jump onto her shoulder. I leap from the floor and never, never put my claws into her. When she goes to bed, I go to bed too, and snuggle right next to her hair. I purr and purr and she sings to me. I love it when my momee sings my special lullaby. I am in kitty heaven.

Auntie Stinkie: When momee gets up, I tell her “Waah, Waah!” This iz my signal for eggz. If it is play-day (the weekend), I sit on momee’s lap on my special knitted lap throw, and allow her to massage my face, shoulder blades and my little paws. Momee does a good toe massage. I simply cannot help myself from slipping into nirvana. I also meet momee when she comes home from work, and I plant myself right in front of her car so that she has to stop. I tell her, “Waah! Waah!” So then momee has to put on the emergen-cee brake, get out of her car and pick me up and drive the rest of the way into the driveway with me in the back or on her lap. This is to teach her to not go to work.

Now we iz goin’ to tag our frendz Kellie da Orange Cat, Mini (my sweetie!) and da ever luverly Samantha & Tigger!

EEEEEK!!! A monster!!!!!

Dis iz da Hall-o-ween franken-Max
Here iz hiz scary poem (which I penned fur him)

Hallo-ween-Max

I am da monster known az Franken-Max,
I likes to come in & eat my mouse-ee snax,
If you gotz to go tick or treatz,
Ya better bring me back sumpin’ to eatz!

I am da ghostee of cat-world Hall-o-ween,
Hide yur lizard heartz & your quiverin’ spleenz,
My appetite fur meat knowz no boundz,
If yur a wimp, better stay offa my ground!

I am da monster known az Franken-Max,
I likes to scare lil’ kittenz wit my teef of wax,
If you go out in the dark this night,
Ya better pre-pare fur da most awful of frights!!!

Teazin’ Tuez-day

I yam still bein’ a good boy. Even da bad Burr-man waz good! We just sat on da couch & waited fur da momee to come home from da Auntie Cue show & sent buckets o’ L-O-V-E to Miss Peach. Ok, I ex-agger-ated a little…we did go check out da new bed in momee & dadeez room… more on dat later.



Tomorrow I will try to post a pic of what da mommie brought home from da Auntie Cue. Hint: more catz!!!! Ok, dey iz not real catz, which iz a furry good ting fur da momee! I tink da Burr-man & I would have to lift da tailz around da house a few timez if da beanz brought any more catz home.



Dadee waz a furry good cat-sitter. He fed us our flavo-rite Fancy Feast Medley (tuna of course) & bought us a new nip mouse-ee. He let me & da mad Burr-man in & out & in & out & in & out of da house all weekend, 25 timez a day. He let us scratchee on da brand NEW mattress! Although, when he saw us hangin’ out in da bed-room, eyen’ da new sky-bed, we got to go out of da house again.



Da momee haz told me dat she iz so bizzy at work dat it will be difficult to do da blog dis week. But she promised me dat we will vizit our frendz in da cat blogo-spear. I should hope so! Dis work ting iz really gettin’ in da way of my creative nature. Ptooey! A double hairball on da work ting!

Fried Fry-day

I yam feelin’ blue today. Da momee iz gone again wit her suitcase ting, headed to da Portland Auntie Cue expo-position. She iz gone until Sun-day! Of course, I cannot do da blog wit out her comp-hooter.

At least da dadee haz da brainz not to go to dis expo-ting. I wonder why da Auntie Cue iz so important dat da momee has to leave us catz??? She sez it’s because it’s in her blood. ? How did da Auntie Cue get into momeez blood?

I also feel blue ‘cuz our frend Miss Peach is not feelin’ well. We all lovez da Miss Peach ‘cuz she waz one of da furry firstee frendz we made on da blog. We just ask all our other frendz to go to Miss Peache’z today & vizit her & send her momee love & hugz & Tonz o’ purrz.

Da mad Burr-man & I are gonna sit right here on da couch togedder & not even fight, until momee comez home & Miss Peach getz better!

Thurz-day Thirteen

In da blog today, I will share 13 tingz about Auntie Stinkie & her break-fatz time.

In da pix, you can see how she haz taken over my lastest issue of Saveur! Itz all about turkeyz & da other stuff we eatz in November. Dis iz difficult fur me to admit, but even at 15, da Auntie Stinkie iz truly da Alpha Cat of our house-hold.

Okeedokee. Here iz da 13 tingz she doez at her break-fatz time:

1) She sits on da kitchen table & waits fur momee to finish da dressin’ fur work routine.

2) When da momee comez out to da kitsch-hen, Auntie Stinkie sez “Waaah! Waaah!”

3) Dis iz repeated repeated-lee, in stac-cat-o cadence.

4) When da momee reaches into da fridge, “Waah! Waah!”

5) When da momee cracks open da eggz, “Waah! Waah!”

6) When da momee flipz da eggz, “Waah! Waah!”

7) Az da momee blots da olive oilz from da eggz, you guessed it “Waah! Waah!”

8) What da Auntie Stinkie iz telling momee iz: “Hurry up! You iz takin too long! Hurry up! I want my eggz!”

9) Den da momee sprinklez a tiny bit of salt on da eggz, but not too much, ‘cuz dis iz not good fur Auntie Stinkie or fur da momee’z blood pressuring.

10) Den da momee sits wit Auntie Stinkie at da table.

11) Den Auntie Stinkie reaches out her tiny paw & swipes it at da momee.

12) Da momee must eat her part of da eggz fast, ‘cuz Auntie Stinkie will start to stick her nozie into da plate. Auntie Stinkie only likes eggz wit yolkz dat are “eazy.”

13) Den da plate wit da eazy yolk iz all Auntie Stinkie’z. Hoo-boy, doez dat Auntie Stinkie have da momee dis-a-plined!

Worldess Wednesday- Pix da momee takez on her commute route

Tuez-day Toez-day

Here iz my brudder, da mad Burr-man Maxi, enjoying hiz toezez.

If he tinks dat doze toezez qwalify fur a Tuez-day blog, I tink he iz much mistaken.

If he had shown hiz BIG toe, da one wit about TWENTY GIANT toezez on da one foot, den I would say he qwalified. But here, he looks so sweet & in-oh-cent, you would never believe how he really treatz me. But I have decided to give him an extra chance…just in case he ever decidez to be a nice brudder instead of a mad-bad one.

Manly pumpkin day

I can’t belleve it! Momee brought dis big pump-da-kin ting home from a local farmer & said she wanted my pic next to it. I yam obliged to do deze photo shootz wit no renumerationz (& dat includez ZERO Greeniez!) I will tell you right now, dat pump-da-kin iz no kin of mine! Do not ex-pect moi to carve dis ting! I hear dey are somewhat slymee and squiggly inside.

When momee first reskewed me, she thought I waz a gurl! (Brainball, are you listenin’?) & so, she named me “Pumpkin.” Hmmph. Doez I look like a pump-da-kin to you?

I tink I have had enough of dis nonsense & will retreat to a more welcoming envy-ron-mint, like da sofa. I will be much more manly on da sofa, dreamin’ about da beauty-full Mini.

You can see I yam more delicious den choco cake!

If you wish to see dat purty Miss Mini dat I yam dancin' wit in da video below, go vizit her at da House of da (mostly) Black Cats.

I yam pooped & vicy-toria-poos! What a time! What a whirly-wind of a date. Da tuna pie dat momee fixed waz de-vine... or iz dat de-veined? No, I tink dat iz fur shrimp.

Dr Tweety & da Mini go Whoo-hoo on der firstee date!

Frazzled Fry-day

I yam tryin' to be more generous to da mad Burr-man Maxi. Look how tired he iz from patrollin' da neigh-bore-hood last night.

He waz soakin' wet from da rain & so waz I! When we came inside, momee dried us off wit da towelz. We didn't even swipe at each otherz cuz we waz so glad to be dry. Oh we waz pitifulz! (wink wink)

Da moral of da story? Run around in da rain & momee will feel sorry fur you!

Stormy Thurz-day

Itz a furry cold & grey day in da Orey-gun Willamette Valley & so we are all hidin' out inside while da momee iz at work.

Iris decided she would medy-tater on spiderz in da webz. I figgure dat iz almost az good az Daisy & her gatorz & lizardz. Spiderz can be furry vishus too, specially da BIG onez dat come down & eat da kibblez. Dey prac-ti-cally eat your teef!

Iris likez to eat deze tingz. I just leave der GIANT corpses fur momee when she gets home from work. Momee? Are you dere? Lookee what I got fur you!!!!

Word-less Wednez-day: Auntie Stinkie Still-life by Renoir

Tuez-day uze your toez day

I yam groomin’ myself to-day, ‘cuz it iz raining dawgz here & dey are BIG dawgz….at least da size of eleph-antz. Momee finally re-lented & let me in when da Miss Marianne waz vizitin’. If da mad Burr-man can be in, den I should be let in too!

But look at da gunk stuck to my furz. What iz dat? I tink I sat on a spider! (Or did it sit down beside me?) & Right in da middle of me compozin’ a love song!

I yam gonna put da finishing touchez on da furz. Dey must be nice & floofy before I askz a new frend out fur tuna. (Ahem, Mini, are you lookin’?)


Now dat I got dat ugly ting off, I tink I will play da piano on momeez pants & da furry nice sofa throw. Oh- I lovez to play da piano. An itty-bitty ode to da nice & full-figgured Mini!

Manly Meezer Mon-day!

I yam givin’ dis here blog to my brudder, da mad Burr-man. Maximillian iz furry manly in hiz meezer suit. He doez not talk to da blog so I haz to inter-pret hiz high-pitched meowzingz. Hmmmmph. What iz hiz problem any wayz? He got all ex-cited when he saw da momeez frend from Switzerland, da beauty-full Miss Marianne. He walked right up to her when she gotz out of da car & helped sniff her baggagez clean. Den he escorted her into da house like a real man oughtta, wit hiz tail straight up & hiz baggy pantz quite floofy. He iz sooo charmin’ to da ladiez, dat Maxi.

Dadee sayz he used to be momeez “man” before dadee came along. But you should be aware dat Maxi haz a terry-bull habit of liftin’ hiz tail on da ladeez pursez when dey are not watching. (& he iz always harrasin’ yourz truly!) Do not lovez hiz hand-some manly-ness too much!

So da first ting Miss Marianne doez when she iz inside da door iz open up a BIG packagez fur da five catz & inside iz a 12-pack of yellow & orange & blue & red & magenta colored ballz wit ringey-dingiez inside of ‘em! Delilah started chasin ‘em all around da room ‘cuz she could not decide which colorz she liked best. Oh we just lovez da Miss Marianne!!! She iz sooo much fun & she loves us all. She even brought her homemade fig & pear & walnut bread. I did not tell her I yam not fond of figz!!!!

Fuzzy Fry-day

Man o' man-o! I yam so glad it iz Fry-day. Momee will now quit scrubbin' da floorz & runnin' around wit da broom & dustin' da counterz & cleanin' up da pee-wee on da stairz. Her bestee frend Miss Marianne from Switz-her-land iz comin' today... & Miss Marianne lovez us kitteez furry much. SO I don't quite getz it why momee cleanz up all da furz & pee-wee. Izn't dat apart of us? & den I got kickeed out of da house wit da Bad Bur-man so we cannot pee-wee before Miss Marianne getz here!!! How am I suppozed to do dis blog if I yam lookin' in da sliding glass window from da other side?????

Sheesh! & look at da pic! I yam on da table while Momee iz snuggling wit Iris, & da mad Burr-man & I are waiting fur our kibblez. Dis iz goin' too far. I yam startin' a generul strike. No more pozin' fur pix unless momee lets me in fur da day! & I yam not promisin' to be in a good mood.

Wordless Wednezday: It's Delilah & how she openz da drawer & shame-less-lee begz fur Greenies!

Tuez-day, mini-malizt Tuez-day

I yam going to kick back & enjoy dis day...even though momee iz grumpee. She doez not like da over-cats foggy-nez.

She tinks we all ought to be cruisin' down a tropy-cal river where der are plenty o' sun rayz & nice cool waterz.

Personally, I do not care fur boatz or tropical placez. I do not care dat it iz foggy. I sleep much better in dis kind of weather...seee? & dis way, I an ignore momee if she screechez about sumpin' dat da OTHER catz iz doin. Becuz I yam an angel. (Wink, wink!)

Monday mad-ness

Ok.. I yam mad!!! Momee did not help me wit da postee ting dis week-end. Instead, she cut dadeez fur, she moved furniture around, she cleaned up kittee barf & pee-wee, she went to do da Costco ting, she washed da cloze, she cooked da break-fazt, & den she started building a cloze rakoon to put der summer cloze away on, & den she shopped some more, & den she read some Joyce Carol Oatz short storrez & den she played wit Delilah & den she washed her fur & den FINALLY, she thought about me & fixed da roastie wild salmon. Sheesh! No wonder my eyez are flamin'!

Frazzled Friday

Hoo-boy! Look at dat guilty look on da Iris! What iz she up to? & look at dat messy chair she iz in. What iz up?

Oh-NO!!! What iz dat mess? Did our sweet little Iris do dat? (You bet she did!!)

Now she is lookin over what she did. Pillowz on da floor, chair cover on da floor, & you know da reazon fur all dis? Do you see da boogie mat in da corner? Dat ting haz da NIP in it!!! I tink Iris needz to go to rehab fur awhile. She iz crazee on dat stuff. Of courze, I would NEVER do dese kindz of tingz myself!

We finally got da Blogger to co-oper-ate. Tanks fur leavin' us notes fur en-courage-mintz. We like courage mintz...dey is furry good.

Thurzday Thirteen

Here iz me movin' furry fast past momeez coffee cup. I almozt got it!!! Dis iz a little bit like da high diverz in da Olympix but I yam faster!!!

I will tell you 13 tingz about my life at da fur ranch wit da other kittiez & momee & dadee on da week-endz when we iz all home togedder:

1) Rain makez me wacky & nervous & I refuse to stay out in it. Soooo:
2) I scratcheez at da BACK door until momee letz me out & den two minutes later:

7) Dadee letz me in 'cuz he feelz sorry fur me 'cuz of da rain & den:
8) I lifts my tail near dadeez elextronix & he saquawkz 'Noooooooooh- oh noooooo!"
9) By dis time I yam ex-hausted by all dis jim-naststix & I sleepz on da kitchen table fur a bit, showing my wonderful floofiness and den later:
10) I sit in dadeez spot on da sofa when he getz up to get hiz coffee & he haz to sit on da floor instead & den:
11) I go downstairz to da garage & do some more dutiez & den:
12) I come upstairz & do some modeling fur da momee & den:
13) It iz raining again! So I scratcheez at da BACK door to go out!
