Thursday Thirteen -Why we love our blogging friends...

We thought we would dedicate this week to the kitties that are most important to us.....YOU!


  1. Everycat makes us feel special
  2. We were welcomed to the blogosphere with open paws
  3. We learn interesting and new stuff everyday about each special kitty, like about modeling, circus tricks and we even learn about our ancestors the Big Cats.
  4. The encouraging purrs and meows we get from everycat
  5. You cats make us laugh. Daisy we are still laughing about the wig, not at you of course but because it is so darn cute.
  6. We have found mentors in a lot of great kitties.
  7. We both found true love, winks and purrs at Miss Peach & Yao-lin
  8. We meet cats all over the world , places we didn't even know about like New Zealand, England & Boston to name a few.
  9. Fiona made a BFF in Celeste.
  10. You kitties do fun things like contests & secret paws.
  11. You cats help those kitties that are in need by holding auctions and collect money.
  12. You cats have great taste in fashion, whether it be an outfit or totally nude, you felines are cutting edge.
  13. Because each and everycat is our Best Friend!

Kinda Wordless Wednesday

*A BIG THANK YOU TO PEARL PRITCHARD FOR HAVING SUCH A GREAT CONTEST, WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE WON OUR FIRST CONTEST AND THE FACT IT HELPS SHELTER CATS IS WONDERFUL.*
Can you guess where momma spent most of last night....


We have had tent wars already, Fiona likes to sneak attack.

Mancat Monday - Playful Edition

Hi Everycat especially Miss Peach,
Here are some silly pictures momma took of me so you can see my lighter side.




Saturday, June 23, 2007

Sweety Sunday

*Note: Our human grandma was spayed on Friday or at least that is how momma described it, she is recovering fairly well and got to come home today. The medicine made her sick to her tummy but her pain is manageable. Thanks to everycat for there concern*

Hi all our best cat friends!



Momma has been lax in our blogging for the last couple days because her momma had surgery on Friday & she has been trying to get the swimming pool set up. Ali had a wonderful time with his lady cat in Las Vegas and perhaps someday Miss Peach will make him an honest mancat.



Love is blooming between Myself & Handsome Yao-Lin, we are two cats in a pea pod. We hope everycat is well & a special Hi to my BFF, Celeste.

Wordless Wednesday - Then & Now




Tuesday Toes - LATE AGAIN!

Here are Ali feets and some of his face:


In other news I got a pretty new harness that is purple with daisy's (not the lovely Daisy cat) on it, I will have momma post a picture of me in it ASAP. Ali already had a blue harness so it was only fair that I finally got one. I really enjoyed exploring the jungle, I hunted bugs and leafs then momma rudely picked me up and took me inside! HUMPF! Hopefully tomorrow I will get to go on another adventure.

Signing Off,

Fiona

P.S. Hi handsome Yao-lin, like the song Ali & I picked out?

Mancat Monday - Late

Well being a mancat means letting your momma take pictures even if you are playing with string....

P.S. Miss Peach, I had momma take a up close picture of my face just for you.
XOXOXO Love!


Worlds Best Corn Litter

So momma bought worlds best corn cat litter to try, she wasn't impressed with feline pine and wanted to try something flush able & clump able, so we will let you know if it passes the kitty test.

Update

Hi to all our great friends,

There will be a blog for Mancat Monday today but momma couldn't get our camera to work last night so she is hoping it just needed charged.

The housewarming was fun for our parents because they got some nice gifts & stayed up late into the night with there friends. We on the other hand got stuck in our parents room for most of the party because momma had the bright idea to ask one of there friends to bring his woofie to our house, she thought we would play and have fun. Well the woofie scared Ali so bad he was shaking, I hissed and spit at the dumb old thing, so in turn to make us calm down, momma stuck us in kitty prison.

Note from momma:

They had to windows to look out in kitty prison, food, litter box & our large bed to sleep on, so it wasn't like prison at all more like a giant kitty condo.

Ali sends much love to Miss Peach & Fiona winks at Yao-lin

Sketchy Saturday

Well we won't be blogging much tomorrow, since our parents are having a house warming party (whatever that is, it's summer the house doesn't need to be warmer). So we probably only make a brief appearance on the blogosphere tomorrow. Also if any of our blogger friends are in this area and want some free food, send us a email because you are all invited tomorrow!'

We will just lay around dreaming of our friends, sigh.


Family Friday

Since momma didn't buy me any new fashions this Friday, I cannot model today. So I thought I would post a picture of Ali & I cuddling. Miss Peachy check out Ali's dreamy eyes in this picture, he is probably thinking of you!

Thursday Thirteen - Momma Edition





This week we tell all kinds of juicy details about our momma:

2. She was married to her sons father at 19 years old & separated from him by 20 years old. She would like to note she finally got a divorce from him two years ago but she would have liked it to have been a lot sooner.
3. She has been with her fiancee for 7 years.

6. Momma would like to have been a vet or vet assistant but blood makes her a little queasy.
7. She used to loath bugs/insect (she had us put both because there is a difference between bugs & insects) but has since gotten over her fear to the point where she can pick most creepy crawlers up without thinking twice.

8. Her first cat was an orange tabby named custard (named after Strawberry Shortcakes cat), he was a indoor/outdoor cat.
9. She loves to swim, not sports type swimming but just fun swimming.

10. Her current favorite TV show is The Mighty Boosh, which is on the BBC, she wonders if Yao-lin and his family watch it?

To Suzanne & Her Momma


With much love & respect:


Prayer for a cat by Phylis Feiner Johnson


Treat me kindly, dear master. Accord me the courtesy due to a cat — and I
for my part will love you, amuse you and cheer your heart as only a cat can do.
Give me a sunny spot to sleep in when morning dawns and I will warm your lap
on cold evenings.
Respect my independence and my need to walk alone at times
and I will look after myself, so that you may come and go as you please.
Speak to me in our secret kitty language, let me hear my name sung in the
music of your voice, and I will meow happily in sweet harmony with you.
Stroke my fur gently and lovingly and I will soothe you with the soft purrs
that can only come from a happy cat.
Indulge my curiosity and I will show
you the joys of bird watching, star gazing and other kitty pleasures.
Play
with me and see me rejoice! Toss a humble ball of yarn and I will delight you
with my cleverness and acrobatic leaps.
But do not laugh at me or allow me
to be teased for there is nothing I prize more than my dignity.
Keep my
surroundings neat and clean and I will be fastidious in my habits.
Feed me
and be fair and I will teach you how to tell "kitty time" by instinct and tummy
tunes.
And when I am old and the time comes to say farewell, hold me gently
in your arms and I will go without a whimper.
For with you I am trusting,
safe and secure. A cat who walked alone but loved you with a full and happy
heart.

Mancat Monday dedicated to Miss Peach

Roses for my beautiful flower, Miss Peach:

Love & Sadness......

Well Ali was going to wait until Monday to reveal his secret crush but with what Suzanne is going through, he thought he better not wait. He is sorry in advance, as he doesn't have a way with words.

Dear Miss Peach,

Would you be my lovely lady cat? I promise to be the Prince you have asked for, I know we don't know each other well, yet. I can assure you that I am a honorable man kitty and will treat like you need to be treated. To quote the great Bruce Lee (who knew he could turn a verse):

"Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, Often hot and fierce, But still only light and flickering. As love grows older, Our hearts mature And our love becomes as coals, Deep-burning and unquenchable. "

So Miss Peach take time if you need to think about it, I will be waiting for your answer.

Secret Sunday continued...

Here is another hint for everyone:

Secret Sunday


Well my brother wanted me to post some hints about his secret crush as my crush is pretty obvious (hint, hint, Yao-Lin) and since my brother is older and allowed to date he would like to profess his feelings for this sweet lady cat but first he would like to play coy and see if this special lady has the same feelings for him. So he is going post some clues about her:



  1. She has lovely wavy furs, and they are a heavenly shade of amber and white.

  2. She is very much a lady and deserves to be treated as such.

  3. She is older in years but her heart is young and beautiful.

  4. *Looks at Ali*This clue is just silly: Paper Bags.

Those are all the clues he wants to give but he hopes she figures it out and feels the same way as he does for her.



Sexy Saturday

This picture is for all the fine lady cats in the blogosphere, can't you just hear Barry White in the background?

First Five Days Meme

My First 5 Days In My New FOREVER Home... I was tagged by my BFF Celeste.

Day One: I was a little sleepy because of my lady garden surgery on the previous day. I was brought home in a ptu box but like Celeste my momma let me out, only not like Celeste I explored the whole car and made it very difficult for momma to drive, luckily she didn't have to far to drive. I was locked in my human brothers room for unknown reasons, I am very suspicious. My new momma, (whom I am very familiar with because she & my non furry brother came over to my foster home to visit and play with me) slept with me & her son in his bed so that I wouldn't get scared.

Day Two: Again still locked in this room and I was starting to get antsy. My momma and not so hairy brother would visit and play with me, so it made the time go by quicker.

Day Three: I was starting to get pretty upset as I could smell some strange animal on the other side of the door and occasionally I could hear meowing (I was hoping it was only momma trying to make me feel at home).

Day Four: I was finally let out of the prison cell for a hour, and I got to explore & play. Thankfully I did not run into any cats but I could smell it.

Day Five: This day was very exciting and intense, when momma' came home for lunch she let me out of the cell and this time did not make me go back inside. A very large tom cat came around to sniff me which made me fold my ears back and hiss, I could tell he was very scared. Though he still sniffed me and then try to LICK ME! Can you believe the nerve. It was a very long day and I was hoping that this other cat would realize his place & that I am top cat.

Well there you have it and that cat (Ali) still thinks he is tougher then me.

I tag:

She says it's to early in the morning to model fashions, *snarl*:

Thursday Thirteen


This week we will focus on our hometown, Toledo, Ohio:



  1. One of the best rock and roll bands in the country during the late 1950s and early 1960s was Johnny and the Hurricanes. All of the members of the original Hurricanes were from the Toledo area. Their leader, Johnny Paris, was from Rossford, Ohio, just across the Maumee River.

  2. Actor, Jamie Farr of M*A*S*H fame, hails from Toledo, having grown up not far from where Riverside Hospital stands.

  3. To resolve the brief but fabled Toledo War, Ohio acquired land settlements that became Toledo and Michigan acquired the Upper Peninsula.

  4. Tony Packo's hot dog sauce has been in outer space aboard the space shuttle Columbia in 1997.

  5. Some of Toledo's nicknames over the years have included "The Glass City", "Frogtown", and "A Renaissance City".

  6. The R&B smash-hit artist, Anita Baker, was born in Toledo, OH.

  7. The Toledo area became part of the Northwest Territory in 1787.

  8. Toledo Inventor, Michael Owens developed the world's first automated bottle-blowing machine, revolutionizing the bottle industry.

  9. The Toledo Zoo, consistently rated as one of the nation's ten best, was the first zoo to feature a hippoquarium-style exhibit. *Note: Momma was a volunteer at the Toledo Zoo*

  10. In honor of the "sister city" relationship between Toledo, Ohio and Toledo, Spain, the Toledo Zoo incorporated Spanish architecture into their building design throughout the zoo.

  11. The Toledo Zoo was started in 1900 with the donation of a woodchuck to the City of Toledo.

  12. Toledo native Jason Cameron was the one of the carpenters on the hit TLC show, "While You Were Out", and is currently the host of "Desperate Landscapes" on the DIY Network. He has also done commercials and appeared in TV shows like "Sex in the City", "Guiding Light" and "All My Children".

  13. Accumulating snowfall in the months of May and October are extremely rare episodes in Toledo. Strangely 1989 saw both! (On May 7th & October 19th). It's the only time Toledo has ever had this occur in the same calender year!

That's some facts about the town we have lived in all our lives (well except momma lived in the outskirts for several years, but that doesn't really count).We hope you learned some stuff and maybe one day you will come visit our city!

Fashion Show Friday!

* Ali clears throat & speaks in announcer voice*



Here is Fiona modeling her dress that says "Ahoy" on the back:






Note that she is quickly growing to big for her dress and momma will soon have to upgrade her fashions.



Fiona is certainly looking grown up in this pose:







That is all the modeling for this Friday, perhaps next week Fiona will have some new, lovely fashions to show off!
