Mancat Monday

Rule # 3.  Always be sure to ruin good photo ops.  Do your best to always look away from the flashy box right as your person snaps the picture.  Or even just close your eyes. Here are some prime examples.

Mancat Monday

Tip #1. Always blend into your surroundings.

It Came!

The prize package that Stryder won for his entry in the Simply Siamese Fall Contest arrived a few days ago.

He was so proud to have won! He won the Lazy Crazy Fall category sponsored by Sassy Cat.

He couldn't wait to tear into it!

There were so many cool toys he didn't know what to think!

The mouse became a quick favorite. It squeaks when you whap it around.

After playing with the mouse for a while we headed back to the bedroom for some more playtime.

The bird was pretty yummy.

But the fish was too interesting to pass up.

Can you tell that all of the toys had nip in them?

After a long evening of testing out all the toys he finally passed out and had nip colored dreams.

Thanks so much to the wonderful beans that picked out these great prizes, they were purrfect!

Winners Are Posted!

No, these aren't the winners but it's Halloween so we wanted to wear our costumes one last time!

Don't we look great!?!
Ha ha! Sugar looks so funny!

Holmes already started his trick or treating! He's got a nip nanner and som Party Mix.

Even Meowmy got in on the act!

Winners of the Halloween Floof Costume Contest are now posted. Be sure to stop by and see if your favorite won. Have a Safe & Happy Halloween!

Nipped Out!

Oh man oh man! I scored some of the best catnip I've ever had this weekend. Its 100% pure organic and fresh as could be. Meowmy cracked it open and gave it a squeeze between her fingers to release the scent and I was off on a wild ride!

First I inhaled deeply filling my nostrils with the heavenly aroma of pure pleasure.
Then I took a little nibble out of my mouse's tail to cleanse my palate.
Next I licked individual pieces of it off the blanket and savored the taste.
By this time I was in my own little world. Man what a trip! Efurrything started to get all fuzzy and look weird. It was so cosmic! I think I even started to hallucinate.
I looked around for my Meowmy and here's what I saw instead!
Ha ha! She said she likes deviled eggs but she doesn't want to be one. That catnip sure was potent. But don't worry folks I use it responsibly, Meowmy helps me to ration it to just a pinch or two efurry once in a while. After I saw my Meowmy as an egg I was ready to sleep it off. I passed out for several hours and woke up refreshed and no hangover. It was a great night to be me.

Holmes wants to enter too!

Isn't he cute? His mom said that he wanted to be a skeleton so our Meowmy worked on this pawsome costume for him. Ha ha! We think he looks great. He's already been making the rounds to all the houses. He's got Party Mix and nip nanners! Special thanks to Moki Joe Designs for the use of their freebie background.

It's not too late to post your own entry into the contest. If you need some help with a costume there is a certain Human who advertises on the Cat Blogosphere about doing pictures for special occasions...hint hint. Maybe she can help you out?

Things That Go Bump In The Morning

I know I missed Tattletale Tuesday but this just happened and I HAD to share it.

This morning while my girl was in bed she rolled over to get more comfortable before going back to sleep. Well apparently this seemed like a good idea to stupid Stryder so he rolled over too. Only thing was that he was all snuggled up inside his favorite blanket and he didn't realize that he was on the edge of the bed.

First there was a loud thunk of claws trying to sink into mattress to hold him on. And then there was an even louder THUMP as he fell off anyway and bumped into the laundry hamper! He ran like a scardy cat straight to the door like someone was out to get him! Ha ha ha!

That's what you get for hogging my girl all to yourself at night. ::sticks out tongue::

She's crazy, that never happened. I don't know what she's talking about. Meowmy...did you tell Scotchy about my secret?

Meow Like A Pirate Day

Arrr...me am about t' set out on me adventure on the sea. Me be returning soon with me booty. Where can me find a bottle of rum?

Quit your poutin wench. Ye be too little to come along. Ye must stay here and watch over the Meowmy while me be gone Scotchy lass.

Light Brown Sugar

Scotchy had a makeover yesterday over on Floof and Fur so I thought it only right that I get one too. I'm going for a Scandinavian look here. I can almost feel that crisp mountain air blowing thru my long curly furs. Try out a new look for yourself here.

Furry Funny

Mancat Monday Fill In

Being the gracious Gentle Mancat that I am, I decided to let my mom post today. Since she was nice enough to spend some time with me on Sunday I figured it was the least I could do. While I'm enjoying my feathers, check out her addition to the Needs Meme.
Sugar Needs:

1. a drummer. A drummer? I must be in a band. Better get to practicing my keyboards and vocals. Maybe Kellykat can help me out with this, she's very musical.
2. release from control. Amen! Leave me alone, I know what I want to do.
3. more dough! Hmm...wonder if they mean dough like green papers or dough like the stuff around the center of my Temptation treats before they get baked? Either way more would be good.
4. your help. Well we could always use some help. Uhm, could you help me scratch my lower back...been having some trouble getting the right spot. Ahhh...that's nice. Thanks!
5. more time to pay debt. So that's why I need more dough. I must still owe money to my nip dealer. I sure wish we could start growing our own around here.
6. to be controlled all the time. No I don't! I already told you I know what I want to do and I don't need to be told.
7. build up her own sales force. Well, that would help me to get more dough. And I would be able to pay my debts quicker. Thanks for the tip!
8. to be a fried egg. What!?! A fried egg? I'll stick with being a cat thank you.
9. to be refridgerated. I do like to stay cool but I don't want to get in that big old box. I just like to sleep in front of it so I can see what's coming out of it. I might need a taste if it looks good.
10. to be recognized. True! Its about time I was recognized for the Queen that I am. That darned Scotchy thinks this is her house. Well, its not, its MINE. Recognize!

That was fun. I think thats the most I've had to say on this blog, EVER! It felt good to speak up for a change. I found 37,300,000 hits when I typed in my search for this meme. That's more than the other two got. That proves that I am better than them. Ha! Take that intruders!

Scotchy Needs Meme

Hi! Scotchy here. Its my turn to play the Needs Meme. Here's what I came up with (with a little help from my girl). I found 13,500 results and here are my top 10.

Scotchy Needs:

1. some love too! Isn't that cool!?! The very first thing that appeared was my own blog! It comes from the bottom of the page for all of you who are using a reader thingy. My girl posted a kissing booth down there for all you handsome man cats and silly mommy's who want to show me some love. Go on, ya know you want to.
2. to know that I did the right thing. Who did the right thing? You? My girl? Well, I'll just have to trust that you did.
3. a little help now and then. This is so true. But all the wonderful beans and kitties in the Catblogosphere are always there to give a hand when we need it most. Thanks effuryone! You rock!
4. to do is run the zip line to the top. Zip line? I don't need no stinking zip line! When I climb up on top of the roof on the sun porch I just wait til my girl comes and gets me down. But it would be kinda cool to zip down and surprise attack my stupid brofur Stryder. Ha ha ha! He'll never know what hit him.
5. to keep me company. Sure! I'll be right over. Where you at?
6. needs a miracle for 500 Alex. I sure would if I really were on Jeopardy. They are soo smart. I might do better on Wheel of Furtune. I could whap that wheel really good.
7. to learn to play. Play? There is no learning in play. You just do it. My girl says I need to learn to play nice. Now that on the other paw I could use some lessons.
8. to think on it some more. Thinking is overrated. Like if I thought about attacking Stryder too long, I might not do it cause I know I will get in trouble, but then life would be sooo boring.
9. to spend the extra money. Do they mean green papers? I don't have any right now so there aren't any extra to spend. But if there were I'd buy some more party mix kitty treats and feather butt toys.
10. to settle down before she gets tasered. That doesn't sound too good! Ok, I'm settling! Back away from the kitty.

Well that was purrty fun. I'm glad it was my turn to play. I think Sugar is gonna play next. She needs to play, she is so uptight. Whenever I try to get her to play she just growls or whaps me on the head. Sheesh!

Needs Meme

I've been reading some of the posts of the Needs Meme and I thought it would be fun to play along. So here are my results. I got 38,400 results but Meowmy would only let me pick 10 to show you.

Stryder Needs:

• more attention! I like this one! Bring it on, more more more!
• to embrace his original style again man. I am embracing it. There is only one me and I am waaaaay stylish. I just recently spent the day at the salon working on it. Man!
• a clutch for his Colbalt SS S/C. Huh? I'm fast enough without a sports car.
• to act mature for his age. I don't wanna! You can't make me.
• magic to change the world. How are card tricks gonna help?
• Rowena. Who is she? Is she gonna be my new girlfurriend?
• her most. She must be my new girlfurriend! When can I meet her?
• to find a place to live. But I live with my Meowmy, I don't wanna move. Sorry Rowena this might not work out for us.
• a little good old fashioned intellectually challenging fun. Don't we all? That's what new toys are for; a new puzzle to figure out.
• to be heard. AMEN!!! That's why we are all here. Cat bloggers unite!

Well that was fun. If you wanna play along consider yourself tagged. Just google your name and the word needs after it and let us know what you find.

Salon Day

Some of you might of noticed that I didn't get to post yesterday. I wasn't very happy about it as you can see. Meowmy was gone all afternoon and all evening. I couldn't believe it! What could be so important that it had to interrupt my blogging schedule? She said that she had some things to do, errands and a birthday cookout at her boyfriend's house and also some self pampering. It seems that she spent the afternoon at the hair salon!
Can you believe that? I've got more furs than her and I don't go to the salon! Well I didn't think that this was fair so I let her hear about it. I mean if I'm not getting pampered no one else deserves to be pampered. She said that she needed to look nice for her job hunting. Why does she have to look nice while she's hunting? Well, to make it up to me she said that we could do a salon day at home for me! Don't tell Mr. Tigger about it though...he might wanna revoke my M-cat Club membership.

We started off with a full body petting/massage to get me all relaxed and purry. She's got good hands. Knows right were to scritch ya. I especially enjoy the arm pits and between the shoulder blades. Very nice. Then we moved on to the Furminator.

I enjoyed a little catalog shopping while she worked on my furs. They had the coolest shoes, just right for chewing on. On sale $22.95!
Once she was done with the brushing and petting I gave myself the once over. Looks like she missed a spot on my leg, I had to slick it down in place.
After all my pampering was done I had to check out the final product. I took a look in the mirror. She did a good job. Don't I look handsome?
I enjoyed my salon day so much that I told Meowmy that this should become a regular appointment. She agreed as long as I keep tipping her with headbutts and sweet snuggles. I think I can afford that.
