I See You

I closed my eyes for just a second...

I like my water cold...Thankyou!

Hmmm...I wonder what Meowme is drinking... tap...tap...tap...

 ...better check the temperature...

 ...quick before she sees me!

Looking Fierce!

This is my Halloween Cat pose....
Meowme had to be quick to catch me.

A day in the life...

My Meowme eventually came home from her trip. I almost thought I was going to have to go live with my Aunt Feather. This would have been a disaster. You see, my Aunt Feather has birds…VERY BIG birds. She told me that one in particular is almost as big as me. One of my passions is chasing feathers, but chasing feathers still attached to the bird could be a challenge. Let’s hope I never see these guys in person if this feather is any indication.

I caught my first chipmunk a few weeks ago. I didn’t hurt him, don’t worry. I’m hoping he will still be around in the spring. He was such fun all summer teasing me and letting me almost catch him…well to his surprise I pounced on him while his back was to me!

 

It all happened so fast that Meowme didn’t have time to react. I didn’t use my claws or teeth so he easily slipped away. I sure put a scare into him though, I think he went into early hibernation.

I thought I saw something moving in the distance…

…off to see what I can get into next…

My Aunt Feather is going to take care of me? But...why?

Maybe if I stay on the lid of this suitcase Meowme will stay home. Every time this comes out of the closet she goes away for a while. I am so scared that she might not come home one of these times.

 

I will get my harness out of the drawer...maybe I can go with Meowme and Paw!

Waaa.......I want my Meowmeee!
Where is Oregon anyways?

But you said you wanted to go out!

Pwease can I come in...I changed my mind. I don't want to have to wash my paws before bedtime!

Playing on a rainy day

Salad Adventure

 Nom...nom...nom....

I found this plant today on top of the TV cabinet. Meowme must be getting forgetful because she never lets me near her plants. She is not even yelling
at me...

....what's wrong with this picture?



My best James Dean impression......

I want to go Outside!

 I am checking out the window and there is white stuff falling from the sky. They are not little birdies. I need to get a  closer look.

 It's dark outside and the white stuff has stopped falling from the sky. Meowme....can I go out and play?

Pweeeeze Meowme can I go out?

It's Saturday night and I have not had any nip!
Pweeeeeze? 

Ok...ok ....I'm allowed to change my mind right....

too deep...

There has been a lot of talk about my mid section lately...

 Hmm....a lot of noise coming from the man cave.

How come I don't get to play with your toys Pawwwww ? 

What are you building Pawwww? Looks like a giant hamster wheel but big enough for meee!

I think I will hide out here for awhile... so no one gets any funny ideas.

I am NOT fat!

Playtime in the Tube

See my glow in the dark eyes.....
I'm waiting to race through my fun tunnel to see what that is at the other end....

The usual suspects...this toy is attached to the tunnel.  I don't really like it. It's not like I can throw it down the stairs like my Pink Panther head.
I wish I could get into the drawer where the scissors are...I would cut the darned thing off. It only gets in the way when I try to race through at warp speed.

Sunday Wild Mountain Hangover

I woke up this morning with a bad taste in my mouth. I think I over did the party thing last night with Pinky and my Wild Mountain Catnip.
I tried to eat breakfast but was so embarrassed when I got sick to my stomach. That never happens to me. 
I can count on one paw how many times.....

Sooo embarrassed........sleeping it off some more. Never again! 
Ya right, that's what I said last time.......

Party for One on a Saturday Night

 This is my Pink Panther head...he is my favorite toy in the whole world.

 

Wild Mountain Catnip.... my Saturday night drug of choice.

 Meowme was taking too long to get the lid off so I helped her....oops....

 For some added fun I dragged Pinky's face through the happy nip. I don't think he really liked it much

 I get silly on my Happy Nip....it gets everywhere. I sneeze when it goes up my nose. Meowme says I'm not supposed to snort the nip, so I eat it when she's not looking.

 I'll probably be up all night , look at the size of my pupils....maybe I'll go bug meowme while she sleeps. She hates it when I race upside down underneath the bed. Oooh but it feels so good on my back.

Saturday morning paws, claws and prints.

Cat wants out....no....changed my mind let me back in!

Too cold on the toes.

Now I must spend time cleaning my paws....again.
Phew... stinky when they get wet.
Well not really, but I make this funny face when doing a serious deep clean.

Stretching out for my morning brushing from dad.
I want my coat to be all glittery.
See my claws? Don't let meowme see them or she will be giving me another manicure.
I don't like manicures...she always tricks me into them.

While Meowme is away....the Bengal will play.....

So I like to climb my scratchy post...

I like to play with my seagull feathers that Meowme collected from the beach one day....

I didn't do it...Meowme...I didn't break part of the black thingy....honest, cross my paws and hope to die.

Taking Charge

Sooooo tired of you pointing that big black thingy in my face and momentarily blinding me.....so tired.

I'm plotting to steal this blog from my meowme, since SHE never posts here anymore....too busy sticking that black thingy in my face.

Bengals are smart, I think I can post a pic or two. She thinks I just step on the keys to annoy her....and yes I do have two ears!

If Mattresses Had Wings

So we go to one of the big box stores at the other end of the city last night to buy an external hard drive so I can do a backup of my dead laptop hard drive before I send it in for major surgery next week. We pull out of the parking lot and drive a couple of blocks and head toward the highway. At the last set of lights a big Dodge Ram pickup pulls out in front of us with his new “Sleep Country” purchase and traffic stops for the red light. We are both mentally assessing the situation we know is about to unfold in front of us once the light turns green. I’m wishing I had a video camera right then. Sitting there for what….a minute? ….me and the man have this short conversation.




Man – “That mattress and box spring are not tied down.”

Me – “I know…and he’s about to go onto the highway.”

Man – “Moron.”

Me – “Don’t drive too close ok?”

Man – “Why not?...these kind of idiots keep me in business.”

Me – “True but someone could get killed.”

Man – “Moron.”



Halfway around the bend in the on ramp the mattress starts liftoff. It’s amazing how much air one of those queenies will get doing about 50km on a bend.

It’s actually quite amusing to actually see first hand I might add. Thud. It lands in the middle of the ramp, skids into the slushy shoulder and we swerve around it.

Moron's brake lights come on for a second and then he keeps driving. He keeps going!

…..Amidst the outburst of laughter…

Me- “Idiot!” Ha Ha Ha ….

Man – “Moron thinks everything is ok” Ha Ha Ha ….

Me & Man – “Oh no….Oh No…. there goes the box spring!”

Me – “Oh my god.”

Man – “Ouch!”……as the box spring lands on its edge and the wood frame breaks apart before it comes to rest halfway into oncoming traffic.

Moron’s brake lights come on for a second and then he keeps driving. He keeps going!

Dude travels about a hundred feet and then starts braking now that he has run out of merge lane. We somehow safely get around him and merge into traffic. Now that I think of it, since I wasn’t driving it may have been an easy lane change since there was a box spring blocking the lane we were now merging into.

Man – “Moron has a long ways to drag those mattresses to his truck now.” Chuckle…

Me – “Imagine what the wife will say when he brings home their new busted up filthy, soggy new bed.” (Insert outburst of laughter here) “No sex for a year” (Insert outburst of more laughter here) “It’s the couch for you, moron.”

At this point I realize that I forgot to charge my cell phone and couldn’t even call to report him. After all, the only way for him to go once he reloaded his truck was to continue down the expressway. Being the moron that he was we were sure that’s exactly what he would do. I sure hope someone behind us called it in or that one of our cities finest just happened to be on patrol in the area.

Moron…….

Here kitty kitty kitty......

Ok, so I have been MIA for quite some time now. I had a lot of photos to upload...then my work load doubled....plus I was new car shopping as well as planning a vacation down south with a group of long time friends. I must confess that it's a bit overwhelming to have well over 3,000 digital photos to sift through now. I am offically shelving the photo a day for 365 days deal. Sorry folks, I bit off more than I could chew I'm afraid. I will now go back to the regularly scheduled program.

Christmas is upon us, in fact I only just finished decorating the tree this morning. I gave Cheetah, the cat a few days to get the  tree climbing phase out of his system. It seems to have worked....for now. The real test will be this evening when he wakes from his catnap and sees all the shiny ornaments hanging within reach of his inquistive paws.
The weather outside is frightful.....if you live pretty much an hours drive away in any direction from where I live in the banana belt of Southern Ontario. Here in balmy Stoney Creek we had wind and rain the other day when everyone else was getting a major winter storm. Parts north of Toronto got upwards of 100cm of blowing snow...that's over 40 inches for you folks in the U.S.
today we are getting rain, once again. I'm thinking maybe I brought the warm breezes back from Jamaica with me...ah but even I know it can't last forever. Eventually the white stuff will be upon us... even here.
That  said, maybe it's time to start thinking about heading to Mexico next........
