Canthro's Bulletin Board

Bob has a new blog. It is to advertise web based businesses or businesses with a web presence. He hopes to be able to build up a big enough reader base to attract paying customers, but for now he is doing free posts for friends and for charitable organizations.

My New Sleeping Spot

I have taken to sleeping at the foot of the bed on Bob's side. I wait until Monika has gone to bed and then once I am sure she is staying there I climb up and go to my spot. When Bob comes in, he gives me pets and a kiss on the forehead before going to bed. Then he is careful to make sure he doesn't accidentally kick me under the covers as he gets in. I usually stay there for most of the night, unless Obsidian comes in, then it depends on my mood as to whether I stay or jump down.

Bob is Back

Monika's mother brought Bob back last night and Monika's Aunt and her boyfriend came along for the ride. All the other kitties found some place to hide shortly after they all came in the door, but I staid on my favorite couch and greeted them. They all gave me pets and told me what a pretty girl I am.

Bob Phone

Monika came home last night and after she put her stuff away she called Bob and gave me the phone so he could say Hello to me. I rubbed all over the phone when I heard his voice, but I couldn't get him to come out of it.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Glitter Pictures

Happy New Year to all of our friends in the cat blogosphere.

Guarding The Tree

The day after Bob and Monika put up our Christmas tree, I found one of the balls on the floor and showed it to Bob when he got home from work. Since then I have been trying to stay close to the tree as much as possible to make sure no kitties try to steal the balls again, but one of them has managed to sneak while I was eating or using the facilities twice and taken one down. Last time Bob put the ball up higher in the tree, so hopefully no kitty can reach it easily.

Clever Pet

Look what Bob did. He has his own blog now, and he likes posting stuff like this on it.

He said he found the original picture on icanhascheezburger.

Spoil Sport

Last night I was in a playful mood and I came into the computer room, then peeked around the door frame and got my back feet running so that when Frostin came around the corner I would be able to surprise him and chase him through the house. As soon as he came into the hallway I charged straight at him and you know what he did? He just laid on the floor in front of me!!! I was so shocked I almost crashed into him. That spoiled my fun, so I just went into the computer room and laid down too.

Clever Prince

That Frostin sure is clever! He decided it was time for treats, so he went into the kitchen and knocked some dishes together to make a racket. Bob snapped awake and said; "What the heck was that?" and then proceeded to put his shoes on to go investigate. Monika got up a few seconds later and they both went looking all over the house. They checked the windows, the plants and everything they could think of and Bob finally noticed that the plates were crooked.

After he found out what woke him, they were awake though so he gave us our treats and he and Monika got on their computers.

Belly Toll Revesited

I thought you all might want to see what my belly toll looks like, so I asked Monika to take a couple pictures for me before she paid it.

Early Morning Belly Toll

This morning I greeted Bob just outside the bedroom door with a belly toll. I love getting my belly rubbed.

How Does This Work?

Yesterday morning after Bob went to work I found one of the toy mice and decided to see if I could figure out why the other cats like them so much. I picked one up and carried it across the room, then jumped up onto the bed with it, but it didn't do anything. So I laid it back down at the foot of the bed and cried to get Monikas' attention, so I ask her what I was supposed to do with it. It took her a couple of minutes to realize that it was me crying because I have never cried like that before, but when she did I looked at her then the mouse and back at her and asked her how it worked and you know what she did? She picked it up and through it across the room! Now I'll never know how to play with it.

*pout*

Computer Room

I have finally started going into the computer room. I still don't go in there with the other cats for treats, but if Bob and Monika are both in there, I will come in and lay on the floor to be with them.

Sleeping next to Bob

Last night, when he was getting ready to go to bed, Bob brought me into the bedroom and put me on my comforter. I didn't stay on it long, but after he fell asleep I snuck onto Monika's side of the bed and curled up to sleep next to him. When he woke up this morning he saw me there and gave me good morning cuddles.

Scary TV

Last night Bob put the TV on the animal channel and left it on for us to watch while he was on his computer. Most of the time this was OK, but at one point while Bob was taking a kitty break and giving me pets a noisy dog came on and was barking so much that it scared me. Bob hugged me and said it was OK. That the bad dog was only on the TV and it couldn't hurt me. I'm glad Bob was there when it came on. I would have felt silly if I found out that I hid under the bed from something on the TV.

Looking For Monika

Yesterday afternoon, after Bob gave us our treats, I went into the computer room looking for Monika. Bob was in there checking his emails, but when I looked around I didn't see her, so I turned around and left again. Later when she came home I jumped onto the couch so that she could give me attentions.

V-e-t Revenge

They went and took me to the v-e-t last week. I came back with a clean bill of health, but I was mad that they brought me there so I didn't let them have any belly tolls all week. But I was missing the belly rubs that come from them too much, so I finally gave them one this morning.

Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma in Pets

Bob got a email from the Awareness Coordinator at asbestos.com and thought you all would like to see what it was about.

Here is the second paragraph;

"In order to help better educate pet owners on asbestos risks, we have created a pets-specific section on our website. This section covers how pets can be exposed, what symptoms they may exhibit and how to prevent exposure. I was hoping to either request a link to our site and/or contribute free content for publishing on your blog in an attempt to raise awareness."

Hurt Paw

Last week I hurt my back paw some how and I didn't want no one to touch it, but Bob and Monika gently checked it and I raised a big fuss. Monika said it looked like my claws were gone, but it was just because my paw was swollen. She checked again the next day and she could see them. It still bothers me a little now, but I am letting them touch it as long as they are careful.

Computer Room

Bob saw me sitting outside the computer room looking longingly at him and Monika, so He picked me up and brought me in to sit on his lap. He gave me pets and told me that I could come in the computer room when ever I want and that the only place we kitties weren't allowed to go into was the garage. At first I was a little fussy, but as he kept petting me I slowy calmed down and started to enjoy it. Then when I get tired of pets I went and laid on the phone stand for a while before leaving. I'm still not completely comfortable in the computer room, but I wasn't in our old home computer room for a long time either.
