Absent Pets

They've done left us again. I think they might be gone a little longer this time because they took an extra suitcase and a whole lot of Christmas gifts with them. Also I heard Bob and Monika talking about Bob's friend coming over to keep us company and to check on our food water and litters.

I've Reclaimed My Favorite Spot

Just when I finally started feeling comfortable in the computer / guest room they went and had company over so I played shy and hid for the weekend. Now that she is gone though, I am back to laying on the bottom bunk while Bob and Monika are in there, and I even had my treats there twice in a row.

*smile*

My New Favorite Place

I found a new place to lay that I like whole lot and it is in the computer room. Monday night Prince Frostin cam in and saw me laying back in the corner on the bottom bunk, and he told Monika, who then told Bob. They both gave me pets and told me it was OK for me to be there, so I staid until Monika went to watch TV, then I left with her. Then yesterday, when Bob came home from wok, I was already in there, so he gave me my treats there.

My Box of Life

Princess Boots here, Frostin told me about this meme and asked me to post. A SIMPLE BUT VERY IMPORTANT MEME: List your treasures and tag other kitties and their humans also, as many as you like. Let this reflection spread through out the world. We need to count our contentment's as Blessings!~~~What do you look back over and treasure enough to place inside your BOX OF LIFE? 1. I would start by putting Monika in because she took me in and gave me a forever home even though she and Bob already had 4 kitties. 2. I would put Bob in because he is always gentle with me and he doesn't get offended when I still act a little afraid of him because I used to be afraid of all men 3. I would put Frostin in because he was the first of the kitties here to tr to be nice to me. 4. I would put our patio in. It is the only place whee I feel comfortable being with all the other kitties. 5. I would put the laser light and yarn toys because they are my favorite toys. 6. I would put the cubies in because they are my safe place. 7. I would my blanket at the bottom of the bed because that is my favorite place to sleep at night.

Snarling For Attention

I like attentions, but I prefer to get them on my terms. Even then I tend to snarl a lot.

(Turn up your speakers to hear me.)

More on Raphina

Bob asked Monika's Mom if we spelled Raffinas' name right and she informed him that it is Raphina, so he went back and fixed it under her picture. They tried mating her with the male rag doll that the woman they got her from brought over, but she would have nothing to do with him, so they are going to fix her now.

Hiding

Bob and Monika moved everything out of the living room so that Monika could vacuum and shampoo the rug. I don't like the noises those rug sucking monsters make, so I found where they put my favorite hiding place and I'm not leaving until I'm sure they are done.

(from Bob) And she didn't either. She rode in the cube while I carried it to its' normal spot in front of our entertainment center.

Yogi

This is Yogi. She is a lovable tortie, and she loves playing with the feather stick.

Girl Kitty Cousins

This s my cousin Mindy. She is a love bug, aways looking for attention.

This is cousin Raphina. She is a pure rag doll and she has bit of the attitude to prove it. She is also the only one of Monika's parents kitties that is not fixed as they hope to mate her.

This is Robin. She is hiding under the bed because she is very shy.

Shy Princess

Hi Everyone,

I'm Princess Ashlyn and I am very shy so I don't play alot, but I wanted to be in a video too, so I asked Bob to film me getting pets, and then asked Princess Boots if I could post it here.

The end of the video is King Obsidian playing with the feather. Bob forgot to edit it off.

Playful Queen

Queen Munchkin here;

I asked Bob if I could have a movie too, and then borrowed Princess Boot's blog to show it to you.

Hope This Works

Bob finally got his You Tube account working. Here is my first video.

Getting Braver, But Not Ready Yet

Thursday morning decided I was going to try going into the computer room and get treats with the rest of the cats here. I made it to the door and was a little nervous, so I just staid there. Then when Bob went to give me my treats I chickened out and ran away. He came after me and gave me my treats in the living room and told me it was OK if I wasn't comfortable getting my treats with the others. I am so glad that he doesn't mind bringing my treats to me and giving me pets. It makes me feel special.

Screenshot Meme

I saw the screenshot meme on Millie's blog and thought you all might want to see what Bob's desktop looks like, so I asked him if it would be OK if I showed it to you. I wasn't sure if he would let me because the symbol on it is a personal signet that he designed. He said that if they still used melted wax to seal envelopes, he would have a ring made with this symbol so everyone would know who the letter was from.

7 Things About Me

The Meezers tagged my whole court for a new meme.

The guidelines for this tag:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules
2. Write some facts about yourself: some random, some weird, some just plain fun.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them)
4. Let those 7 people know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

The challenge is to keep it interesting without making the reader think “Um, too much information…”

How I Got My Name

Queen Munchkin tagged me for Millie's How I got my name meme, so here is my story.

When my original humans abandoned me some of the local out door cats told me about these nice humans, that always put out food for the outside cats, so they would never be hungry. I went to visit them and I saw that they had cats living in their home also. I missed being indoors, away from the rain and such, so I let the Lady; Monika; know I wanted to live inside with her other kitties. She told the man; Bob; and he said; "You mean the skittish one that looks like she has boots on?" Monika said yes and decided that Boots was a good name for me, then she brought me in and locked me in the bathroom, while she and Bob went to work. When she came home she took me to the v-e-t who tol her that aside from a ear infection I was fine.

I chose Dragonheart, Skeezix, and Rascal.

Comforter Tent

When Bob and Monika put the bed back together last week, Bob forget to tuck the end of the comforter back under the mattress. It hangs to the floor so us kitties have been using it as a tent. We also have to use it as a tunnel if we want to get under the bed.

My Morning Treats

This morning I was being hissy, so Monika closed me in the computer room with all the other kitties that were waiting for their treats. A couple of minutes later Bob came in and closed the door behind him, then he gave us all our treats and told me; "See Boots. It's OK to eat treats in here." I knew it was OK to eat them there. I just prefer to be pampered by having them brought to me. After all, according to Frostin, I'm a princess.

Sick Prince

Frostin was still acting out of sorts, and Monika was worried about him, so Bob and her took Frostin to see the v-e-t. They were there a long time and when they came home Bob emptied our food bowls and Monika gave Frostin a dish of stinky goodness with medicine in it, He didn't eat much of it, but Munchkin and Obsidian wolfed it down and they both said it was good. Obsidian liked it so much he smarled at Munchkin when she first came over to try some. They got dry food with the medicine in it too, but they didn't put any in our bowls. Monika said something about starting to feed us at set times every day. All I know is they better not forget we need food or I may have to do something drastic.

Monika Called

Monika is sick and in the hospital, so Bob is here alone with us kitties. I had hoped that Monika's not being here would mean that I didn't have to get my medicine, but Bob proved that theory wrong before he was home an hour.

Monika called this morning and after he was done talking to her he swithed the phone to speaker so that she could talk to Obsidian and me. I sniffed the phone, but I couldn't smell her in it, so I walked away, but Obsidian rubbed against the phone trying to give her cuddles.

Bad Morning

Yesterday morning Bob and Monika starved me, then Monika put me in the travel box and brought me to the V-E-T to get my teeth cleaned. While I was there they shaved a spot on my leg and gave me a catheter. (yuck) Then I had to stay there for hours before Bob finally came to get me, but even then we had to wait for Monika to come before we could go home.

When we finally got home Bob put the box down and opened it for me, and I ran straight for the bedroom and hid under the bed until I remembered it was treat time and I was hungry. Then I came out and waited by the food dish for my treats while happily eating my regular cat food.

My Morning

Bob and Monika watched a movie this morning and I decided I needed belly rubs so I laid in front of the TV to let them know and they both came down and gave me bunches of attention. Them Monika picked me up and brought me to where Bob had just sat back down, and she put me in his lap. I love napping in Bob's lap while he watches TV.

*smile*

Frostin Is A Real Prince (even if he is a brat at times)

Frostin is a sweetheart, but Bob and Monika were right too. I don't like it when our pets leave us here alone. My last humans just put me outside, left and never came back, and I don't want that to happen again.

I know everyone has a lot of things going on in the background that makes keeping up with blogs more difficult and my only posting ocassionally doesn't make it any easier for all of you.

Willie's A Cool Kitten

I asked Bob about Willie and he said that he is healing good and that he likes playing alot. His favorite game is chase and for a kitty with only three legs he can run very fast. He likes to hide under the bed and when you try to get him out he will run all over the house always watching over his shoulder to make sure you are still chasing him. Then when he finally lets you catch him he is all purrs and cuddles.

Good Pets

Some times I have trouble getting used to my new humans. This morning I coughed up a hairball and immediately ran to hide because my old humans used to holler at me for making a mess. Bob just got a dry paper towel to pick up the mess and a wet one to scrub the rug and through it in the garbage, then he and Monika both told me it was OK, and that they weren't mad at me. I am not used to humans being so nice.

Attention Wars

Munchkin and I were competing for Bob's attention this morning while he was watching TV. I came up to him while he was still eating breakfast and sat patiently waiting for him to finish. Munchkin came up right before he finished and when he came back from putting his dish in the sink, he reached for me as I was there first, but Munchkin jumped into his lap and laid down before he got me.

After she left his lap, Bob picked me up and put me in his lap, but I was upset because Munchkin had gotten his lap first, so I didn't stay with him long. I think I'll go try to get in his lap again now. Hope Munchkin isn't watching.

Great Fun

I was in a playful mood all day yesterday. At first none of the other kitties wanted to play with me, because they are not used to me being playful, but after a while we were all having great fun. We were still playing chase when Bob went to sleep last night.

*big smile*

Treat Time

This morning when Bob came and asked me where I wanted to eat my treats, I started walking towards the food dishes, but Obsidian was already there, so I stopped at out cat tree and ate them there. I always enjoy getting treats from Bob, because he gives me soft pets while I am eating them.

Thinking

I'm thinking of asking Bob to take the table out of my post window since I decided I don't want to make a seal of my paw print like Frostin has. I also tend to avoid the camera, so there probably won't be a lot of pictures on my blog unless Bob starts getting sneaky. What do you all think? Should I keep it or have Bob remove it?

Happy 4th of July

I missed posting this weekend, so I figured I would check in and say; "Hello." Bob and Monika are off today for a bean holiday and Monika's parents are going to visit. That is good because it means all the other kittens here will hide and I will get some peace. *smile*

Waking Bob

I see that Frostin has posted about Bob sleeping in again and I decided to tell you about the ways the different cats here have of waking him up when they are tired of waiting for their treats. Munchkin will jump onto the bed at the foot then walk up the side of his body 'til she reaches his head. Then she proceeds to lick the inside of his ear until he wakes up. (Doesn't look very appealing to me but she seems to like it.) Obsidian jumps onto the side of the bed, usually landing on Bob, and if that doesn't wake him up he walks up to his head and commences to head butting him. (I should think that would be more likely to make him sleep longer.) Ashlyn is still a tiny cat and she jumps onto the bed and climbs straight up his chest, then she rubs noses with him until he wakes up and gives her cuddles. (I might actually try that if I was as tiny as her.) Frostin gets next to his head and noses at the covers until he half wakes and lets Frostin under the covers, then he grabs Bobs' hand and tries to pull it out from under the covers and if he succeeds in that he tries pulling Bob off the bed by that same hand. (A valiant effort, but I think Obsidian has a better chance with the head butts.) As for me, I just let him sleep. I know he'll get up sooner or later and when he does the treats wont be long behind.

Hide'n'Seek

I love the way us kitties have our pet humans trained. Munchkin decided she wanted to play hide'n'seek and she had Monika and Bob looking all over the apartment for her. It was fun watching them search. They even used a flashlight to look under the beds and dressers. I think I might have to get them to play that with me some time.

Petless Weekend

Bob and Monika left Friday evening and came back early this evening. They smelled of a whole bunch of other kitties and looked like they both got a lot of sun. I think they had a lot of fun visiting Monikas' parents.

Clean Covers

This morning after Monika and Bob got up I decided to go back into the bedroom and lay on my small blanket at the foot of the bed. After a little while they Obsidian and Frostin got on the bed too, then Bob and Monika chased us all off the bed and when I came back, my blanket and all the rest of the covers were gone. I got kind of upset because I didn't know where my blanket was, but then Bob let me sit on his lap for a while and I calmed down. Then after a while Bob and Monika went out and came back in with their laundry like they do every weekend and a little bit after that they came and got me and brought me into the bedroom. There was my blanket on the foot of the bed again along with all the covers including a pretty new big blanket that Monika said was an afghan. *smiles*

My Favorite Person

This morning Bob's sister Joan called and he put the phone on speaker so I could hear her. I rubbed my head on the phone and tried to purr loud enough for her to hear me. Joan is my favorite person and I always love cuddling with her and listening to her voice.

My Morning

It's quiet this morning. We are all enjoying the patio. The rest of the cats all went to the computer room for treats when Bob woke up, but I staid out here. I'm a little more independent then them, so Bob brings my treats to me and asks me where I want them. This morning I lead him to the food dish and asked him to put them in it. As I was eating them he gave me lots of soft pets. I love soft pets.

I'm Back

Hello everyone, Sorry I have been gone for so long, but it turned out that Monika, whom I had been dictating my blog to lost interest in typing it for me. Prince Frostin always has Bob take diction for him, and he seems to enjoy it, so I decided I would ask Bob to type for me also. He already has alot of typing to do every morning though, so I will probably only have him post once or twice a week for me. Now that explanations are out of the way I want to try yo catch you up a little. 7 Things About Me Frostin still seems to have a crush on me, but I still chase him off whenever he tries anything. Munchkin and I get along better now and we like to play chase around the apartment. I have taken a liking to sitting on Bobs lap while he is watching television, though some times Muinchkin beats me to it. I wait at the door for Bob and Monika to come home from work every day. (Especially Monika) I love having my belly rubbed and I will lay on my back and then look longingly at one of my pets until they come rub it. I love getting pets and cuddles, but I fuss the whole time I am being held even though I am leaning into the cuddles and pets. I like to sleep at the foot of the bed when Bob and Monika are sleeping in it.
