Happy 15th Birthday, Jack!!!

The OTW said we couldn't have a party because she's still sick, and the house is mostly not unpacked and noisy people are coming today to give her new counters. And I get no presents because I have Too Much Stuff! Too Much STUFF???? Stingy wench! ::grumplegrumple::

I say we have a party anyway! But there's no point in trashing... it's all a mess already!!!

Come see our new place!


It's a good place! All our toys and beds are here already and unpacked!


And we can play our favourite games!


There's lots of BOXES!!!! You can help me find which one the voles are hiding in!


And these catnip-playthings!


We have a sunny balcony again!


And stairs to play on! TWO of them!


And to play King of Mountain on!


HEY! I said "NONE shall pass!"


Jurk.


Best of all, this place the OTW found me has SUNSPOTS!!!!!!


Well, *I* got a present! It's a... um.... this piece of wood. But it smells SO YUMMY!!!

Let me see, Seph-a-lump!


No! It's MINE!!!


No, it's not! I got it! I got it!

Hmph!


It's MINE!! Ooooooo, it's YUMMY!!!


NOM NOM NOM


Nom nom nom...


Hey, this IS pretty good....


What?


I wasn't playing with it.


Wasn't.

Mo Cats Day

Tenzing: No cats in the innernets again?

Persephone: Mo' Cats, Floof-for-brains!


Jack: We went through this last year!

Fafner: Wub mah bewwy??


Jack: The Innernets are for cats. Go back to sleep.

Fafner: I kyoot. Ebrybuddy always want me.


Tenzing: We should keep an eye on those tricky Ebil-Arch-Nemesis-People-Person-Kitten-Cuddlers. They might try again...

Jack: No rioting on the Bed of Cat-Sloth.


Tenzing: Stupid Ebil-Arch-Nemesis-People-Persons! You can't defeat the RED MENISS!!!!

More purrs needed

My OTW is SUCH a lazy human slave and she only seems to have time to help me blog when she doesn't want to do stuff she thinks she should. So I only get to blog when she's upset and refusing to do her works.


This is my old sun-buddy Andy. I used to live with him in the warm and sunspotty Vancouver.


He's sick and the V-E-T says he doesn't have very long left before he runs off to the Bridge. Maybe a month if the treatment doesn't work, but only maybe 6 months if it does.


He and the Ginger Lady who grew us fresh nip could use some purrs for a peaceful passage.


We could use a few good purrs to Ceiling Cat too.


I don't think Persephone and the Unnecessary Kitten realize it yet, but I heard the OTW and the Big One talking and they're really upset and saying the 'M' word a lot and how we have to do it fast. And something about living with DAWGS!!!!! (But she did say at least we'd be far away from the bad air, if it comes back. The 'M' word doesn't have anything to do with bad air, though, I think. It's gone away a squillion naps ago, anyway.)



Also, the OTW killed a bird today. I'd be proud of her newfound hunting skills, but she's sad about the little featherball and didn't even eat it, or bring it home for us. I think she's weird, but when she's sad I get all uneasy and crabilated, so I guess she could use some purrs too.

Bad Air

Jack: We could use some purrs for rain and good thoughts. The air smells funny and burny and it's making us sneeze!


The OTW says Northern Alberta's on fire.


Persephone: There are lots of noisy people running around outside my place and I'm tired of having to growl and hide.


Mommy's upset, and I think Daddy's tired of growling and running outside too.


Tenzing: Hey Mom-Lady! Why does my window smell all funny? Why did you close it?


Hey! Mom-Lady! Why can't I go in this bag? Why are you putting my toys in there? And my beds? Hey, my tunnel!

Opposable-Thumb-Mommy-Lady: Tenzing, you have plenty of other toys out and your BIGGER tunnel. And I closed the window because I can't breathe. Persephone-sweetie, the noisy people can't come in here I promise. Bless you, Jack!


Cat mommies and Daddies and Food Ladies and such, I need a quick second opinion. This is what I've got in my:

Cat Emergency Evacuation Bag

~1 Pop-up Cat-Containment Unit (in case of ending up somewhere they're not allowed to roam free)

~6 cans of gooshy fuds (they don't get a lot per day, so that should last about 2-3 weeks)
~2 week supply of kibble
~1 bag of Tem-tay-shuns

~1 set of plastic food and water dishes
~1 cat/small dog travel kit (fold-out basket and pad, collapsible food and water bowls)
~1 "40 paws" hammick (YAY! It's collapsible and easy to pack)
~1 fleece blanket
~1 piece of studio drop-cloth covered in Jack furs ( I gave up on getting it off)
~1 fuzzy cat bed (one of the three Jack got for his birthday; not collapsible, but squishy)

~1 collapsible play-tunnel for Red Menisses, for to keep occupied
~1 large ziploc baggie containing catnip playthings
~1 small tin of catnip
~1 spare cardboard scratcher

Missing:
~1 (allegedly {sure... if you're all 3 feet tall!}) 3-man dome tent for secondary Cat-Containment Unit (currently in our trailer-can be fetched quickly if evac notice leaves us enough time, will try to get sooner, all three cats CANNOT go in the one small CCU)
~1 covered cat litter box for Miss Elevator-Butt's CCU (can be grabbed from studio if not fleeing quickly, will fake it with garbage bag if necessary)

In car:
~2 disposable cat litter pans
~2 additional boxes of litter

Am I missing anything? (none of them require medication, and our first aid kit includes anything we might use on the cats without vet supervision)

Oh, and in case anyone's worried... We are listed as in the Disaster Area. But the last time I checked, the nearest fire is still 100km away (61mi) and has been stalled there a while. It is listed as 'out of control' and the wind is blowing it in this direction, but the winds are dying, the temperatures are dropping (it's actually below 10C (below 50F) now) and we're expecting rain soon. We are NOT under evacuation notice or alert and they don't expect us to be. Our biggest threat at the moment is smoke making breathing difficult.

CINCO DE MAYO

It's KC's Annual Cinco De Mayo Party! I've got my sombrero! What do you think, KC?


Sigh. I think I need a LOT of niptinis to have fun. And Tuna Meow-garitas. Both my stupid brothers got new hats, and I only have last year's pretty flowers. And that Jurkfase Tenzing ATE one!


I'll show that Jack-Jurk! Last year he TRICKED me into wearing a piñata! This year I picked my OWN hat! Look at my grate sombrero!

Hey, everycat! Tenzing will carry your Tempt-Tay-Shuns and cream!


JACK! YOU'RE A JURK! I'M TELLING MOM-LADY!

Fairy Friday

Persephone says some cats have fairies in their gardens! We don't have gardens 'cause the Mom-Lady says plants make her sneeze and she makes plants deaded.


But that's ok, 'cause the fairies come visit me anyway!


They like to dance on top of these smelly sticks!


I wanna dance too! But I think I'm too big to dance on top of a smelly stick! Even the fat ones!


I'm gonna catch one and get them to teach me to dance!


One day...


When the Mom-Lady isn't watching and grabbing my paws away!


Sometimes it's just one or two fairies...


...but sometimes there's a lot and it's a BIIIIIIG party, like at my Best Friend Billy's!


PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE, Mom-Lady!!! I reallyreallyREALLY wanna dance with the fairies!


Sigh.
