Finally Friday

It's Friday and we wanted to show you what our humans generally do on Friday...drink beer. Actually Mommy has been more of a wine person lately, but The Ball Guy usually likes his beer (and I like to drink with him). I've said this before, but it should be said again; I always drink responsibly and they never let me have more than a couple of licks.



I also wanted to welcome a new addition to the Kool Kittie Krew with a 'cheers' and a couple of slurps of beer. Cricket, the new tortie/calico, also likes beer!

She is featured (along with The Ball Guy's new little fuzzball) over on Wendy's LOL Spot.



Samson wanted to point out another long-time Friday tradition of our humans. This is how he warms up their pizza.



Maybe it's just me, but it looks like Samson is enjoying a bit too much of their pizza! He covers the whole box!

Now I'll show you what the humans do when they've had too much beer, wine and pizza...



Have a great weekend!

The Name Game

The Ball Guy still hasn't named his little bundle of fur! He says that he's waiting until the perfect name comes to him.



We thank you for all your wonderful suggestions and Mommy thinks there were plenty of perfect name ideas for the little sweetie, but I guess we should just let The Ball Guy come up with it when he does. The only name that has come close so far is Sweet Pea, which is kinda cute. She sure looks sweet! I can't wait to meet her.

She seems to be making herself at home at The Ball Guy's house. She's fetching soccer balls and he says she's bossing him around. I warned him about those Torties. Deli bosses me around all the time!



She has her appointment next Monday for her shots so we should be meeting her by the end of next week. Mommy is a little bit worried about how we'll react, but she thinks that if The Ball Guy brings her over frequently, we'll eventually get used to her. I'm excited but I'm also a little bit apprehensive about the whole thing. I can barely handle one Tortie, let alone two!

Wordless Wednesday

Tortie Tuesday

Samson is going about it all wrong. There is no way we can cute compete with that sweet little fluffball of The Ball Guy's, so the best thing to do is let the humans get their fill. It's like eating too much candy (which Mom thinks is a good name for her, by the way), it's really sweet at first but eventually you get sick to your stomach. I have decided to feature the still unnamed little girl on my Tortie Tuesday. If you can't beat 'em, give everyone way too much of 'em so they come running back to Samson and I after they crash from too much sugar.

Look at that little face!






I actually think I may like this little girl. She is a tortie, after all and she kinda looks like me as a kitten. I've examined her moves on the film that Mommy brought home and, while she is definitely still a little wobbly, she has the potential to become a very capable tortie girl. Of course The Ball Guy has already started training with a soccer ball!



And if you can stand this sugary sweetness, watch this ridiculous video of her sleeping, having a dream and then waking and stretching at the end. It's so sweet, it's hurts. I can see she's really working The Ball Guy with the little helpless and cute act. She's doing a great job!

Mancat Monday

Mommy wasn't around most of the weekend, and when she did come home, she smelled like wine and cute little girl-kitten!

I've got to step up the cute act because I'm no longer the baby!



How's this?



I guess I'll just have to wait until the kitten gets as big as me...I'll be here awhile.

Introducing...

Here's the new little one!



The Ball Guy is a proud new daddy.



She is still without a name, so any suggestions are welcome. Mommy's worried because The Ball Guy had some pretty crazy suggestions and she thinks torties should have pretty girl names, but it's his kitten, so we'll have to get used to whatever he chooses!




Whatever her name is, I can't wait until she gets all her shots and tests so she can come over and meet us!

Portrait Contest Winner (s)

Today we announce the winner of the portrait contest!

Mommy originally wanted Deli or I to draw from a pile of names on film, but the batteries on her camera died in the middle of filming and she didn't have any charged so she entered all the names in the randomizer at random.org.

Here is a screen shot of the 'randomized' list:



Congratulations Ginger Jasper!!

This is the picture that the Ball Guy will refer to.



The Ball Guy was so impressed with all the beautiful photos that yesterday he said to Mommy to have Deli and I draw two names (but we all know how our big 'on-camera' draw turned out!). So congratulations to The Creek Cats also!

These are the beautiful girlcat photos by The Creek Cats. Mommy says to contact her and let her know which one of the two you'd like The Ball Guy to draw.

The gorgeous Maggie May



And the beautiful new Creek Cat, Saylor



AND, the winning doesn't stop there! Mommy made a big mistake and forgot to enter Fin! Of course I would never forget Fin! She was one of the first ones to enter too. It really is hard to find good blog secretaries! I used my cutest face and squeaks and The Ball Guy is going to draw Fin too. He said she's so beautiful that he doesn't mind at all.



In fact, he said he wishes he had the time to draw all of the entries!

The Ball Guy is going to get on drawing the kitties right away and we'll send out an email to the winners to request mailing addresses so we can send your portraits. We'll also post them on the blog when they're done.

Thank you all for entering and giving Delilah and I a break from posing!

A New Monkey?

Remember those cute tortie kittens Mommy was trying to get for The Ball Guy? Well, unfortunately, they were adopted to someone else. Mommy was pretty disappointed, but The Ball Guy took it much better - he said that he's ready for some kitties and the right ones will find him. Mommy went back to work looking, and almost immediately, she found this little girl up for adoption!



The Ball Guy wants TWO torties but we're half way there! They're going to pick her up on Saturday! Yay! Samson and I are contributing some of our allowance for the adoption fee because we were trying to figure out a perfect Christmas gift for The Ball Guy. We would've got him beer anyway...but she's way cuter than beer!

She's 8 weeks old and we can't wait to meet her! Mommy says we have to wait until she gets her shots and tests for bad things, but we'll meet her when all is clear! She looks like she's going to make a wonderful play partner and I can't wait to tell her about soccer balls!



She doesn't have a name yet, but The Ball Guy is waiting to meet her before he names her.

Thank you all for your good luck purrs because we think they really worked!

P.S. Don't forget to get in your pictures for the portrait contest! Today at 6pm EST is the deadline. We'll be announcing the winner tomorrow! Send them to themonkeycats at gmail.com.

Tortie Tuesday

Last week Samson posted about the earrings Mommy bought from Beaded Tail's Etsy store and showed his silly behavior when he smelled that pretty girlcat Angel's scent all over the box. A few of you asked to see the earrings she bought, and since I can hold myself together a little better than Samson, I'll be able to show you the pretty things without throwing myself all over the box!

Because Mommy is not a great photographer, I'm using the pictures that Sharla took for her store.







Aren't they pretty? It almost makes me wish I had pierced ears, but Torties have no need to adorn themselves with baubles...our fur patterns and colours are enough of an accessory.
