Mancat Monday

BOO!!!

Did I scare you?

Probably not.  Mommy tells me I'm too cute to be scary.  Everyone likes to be a little frightened this time of year, so hopefully our spooky Halloween header did the trick!  Our awesome friend, Tania, made it for us.  

Gabriel looks a little freaked out, but I think that might be because he found out what the word 'neuter' means!

Sweet Pea's Birthday

Sweet Pea here!

Today is my birthday and I'm turning 2 years old!

Daddy told me I'm getting a present and it's in this bag.

I wonder what it could be!  A big bag of nip?  A year's supply of tuna?  Samson?

Oh, this is not funny at all! 

There had better be plenty more ear scratchies from Daddy for that joke!

Tortie Tuesday

Sweet Pea here!

You will never guess what happened to me!

The humans thought Bella was so happy being free of her knots that they thought I'd benefit from a shave too.

Yep!  I'm nude!

Even Gabriel is shocked.

I didn't make it easy for the groomer, though.  I fought tooth and claw to prevent this from happening.  They had to put a muzzle on me!

This is so humiliating.  The humans will pay for what they've done!

Just don't tell them that it feels nice and breezy and comfortable being knot-free.  That might spoil my revenge.

Daddy is very happy with the result because he says when I snuggle with him, it feels like he's snuggling a warm sausage.  I may have to withhold snuggling privileges just for that remark alone.

Mankitten Monday

Gabriel here!

It's been awhile since I gave you all an update about how things are going.

The medicine the vet gave me for my crystals, and all the wet food and a brand new ceramic fountain, have all worked to make me feel better.  I no longer pee outside of the box and I feel great!

I also made a new friend.  I call him Pinky the Pig.  He's just my size and, unlike Sweet Pea, he doesn't mind when I tackle him.  Here's a photo of Pinky and I hanging out on the table.

Sweet Pea and I are getting along just fine.  In between all the tussling she pins me down and cleans my ears.  I can tell that means that she loves me and it's just a matter of time before she is putty in my paws.

Gabriel here!

A LONG time ago, before I was even here, World's Best Cat Litter asked The Monkeys to review the new lavender-scented litter.  They sent them a bag, and of course they used it and didn't even review it, so I'm here to help them get organized.

By all accounts, it smells amazing and even covers Sweet Pea-powered poop smells!   It must be powerful stuff.  My Daddy says it smells nice, but not overwhelming.  Daddy also loves that it tracks much less than the other corn-based litter we used to use.  It means less of the evil vacuum for us too!

The scented litter is not available in our area of Canada , but Sweet Pea and I use World's Best, so to make up for our late review, Sweet Pea and I will demonstrate how to use the regular version of World's Best Cat Litter.

Uh, Sweet Pea, you're not doing it right...the litter is supposed to be in the box first.

I don't know if Canadian cats do it differently, but where I come from, the litter has to be in before you poop and you're definitely not supposed to sleep in there.

She's not even listening to me, but I need to show everyone how to use this stuff, so I need to do whatever I have to to get Sweet Pea to cooperate.  I hear whispering in a ladycat's ear is supposed to make them do anything!

I guess in the interest of being more like my new Canadian family, I'll try it their way.

Nope!  This isn't right!

Sweet Pea is so stubborn and she's ruining my first review!  I've got to show her how to use the litter properly.



Trying to get Sweet Pea to do something she doesn't want to do is almost impossible!

My review was a flop, but we definitely use and love World's Best Cat Litter.  As soon as the lavender-scented litter is available here, we'll be getting some.  In the meantime I'll keep trying to teach Sweet Pea the proper way to use cat litter!

Tuxie Tuesday

Gabriel here!

I'm really loving my new home and soaking up as much attention as possible!

Sweet Pea loves me, even though she sometimes acts annoyed, and I'm supposed to go meet the other Monkeys soon!

The only reason I haven't gone yet is because of a small problem I'm having - I'm peeing outside of the litter box.  The humans brought me to the vet and had my peepee tested, and it turns out I have crystals in my urine.  The vet was surprised that I have them at such a young age, but he gave me some medicines and I have to eat wet food (which is GREAT!).

The Monkeys' Mommy doesn't want me to pee on her things, so I have to wait until I'm better.  I'm really bummed because tomorrow is Samson's birthday and Sweet Pea tells me that they're going to have a BIG party.

I guess I'll have to find another way to amuse myself in the meantime.

Please drop by Samson's place tomorrow to wish him a happy birthday, and if you don't mind, have some nip and play with some toys for me!

Smoooooch!

Mankitten Monday

Gabriel here!

Samson asked me to post today because he's very busy doing 'important Mancat business'.   I may not be a Mancat yet, but Mancat business  looks pretty boring.

I've been busy doing very important Mankitten business, like killing this evil fish skeleton.

I need to kill this intruder so that Sweet Pea will start looking at me as fearless, strong and a worthy suitor.  She treats me more like a baby than a boyfriend right now.

You better run from the big lion, fishy!

This is very tiring training!  I sure hope Sweet Pea saw how ferocious I was.

Maybe I should follow Samson's advice and practice being a Mancat like him.

If I keep this up, Sweet Pea won't be able to resist me!

Tortie Tuesday

Sweet Pea here!

When Daddy told me I was getting a new boyfriend, I was very excited.  I imagined a handsome Mancat who looked a lot like Samson.  It was a good dream...until Gabriel showed up...

Prom picture

I mean, he's very cute, and he does look a little bit like Samson, but he's SO small!   Also, he always tries to kick me in the head.  What kind of boyfriend does that?

Hey, little one - I'm not your mama!  Sheesh!

I hope this little frog turns into a handsome prince soon!

Gabriel here!

Samson was kind enough to let me post today because I have SO much to say!

First, I had a very long trip over 3 days to get to my new forever home from Chrystal's.  My buddy, Scott, drove the whole way (I'm too small to reach the pedals)!  We stopped for some play time.




I really love Scott.  He made sure I wasn't scared and let me sit on his shoulder during breaks.





When I got to my new home, I met Sweet Pea.  She's very pretty, but she's SO big!  My new Daddy thought it would be better if she met me in the hall of the apartment building instead of me coming right into her house.



She was a little mean to me at first...



...but now she's coming around and playing with me a lot!

I just love to play and Sweet Pea has so many toys!

I think I'm gonna like it here...

Wordy Wednesday

As most of you have already guessed, Sweet Pea's new boyfriend is Gabriel!

Mommy and The Ball Guy fell in love with him when they saw him on Chrystal's blog and the rest is history!

Our friend Scott will be making the drive with Gabriel all the way from Indianapolis, IN (We featured Scott's cat Max on our blog recently), but we still need help with getting him from where Chrystal is bringing him (Effingham, IL) to Indianapolis.  If anyone can help, Mommy says she will definitely pay the gas bill.

Scott will be taking the following route:

If anyone along the way has considered adopting one of Chrystal's beautiful cats, please let us know.  We would love to help bring a kitty to a wonderful new forever home.

We all can't wait to have our newest Monkey here with us.  We just hope Sweet Pea feels the same way...

Samson, Delilah and Bella
