Back to Work

Delilah is not pleased with me for posting 4 times this week but I will deal with the consequences as this is a very important post!

Mommy is going back to work full-time on Monday after being home for more than 6 weeks! This week she's been working from home making phone calls. This is our last week with her here and she is trying to work. I'm making it very difficult for her because I think all the time she has left at home should be spent adoring me!

She was on the phone so I tried this cute face.



That didn't get much of a reaction and she was still speaking to the customer so I tried this one.



...and the profile.



I know what you're thinking - how could she resist me? It seems impossible to me but yet, she was still blabbing away to the customer.

Then she had the nerve to access some work online! This called for drastic measures - I planted my butt right on her mouse! Ahhhh, success...



Ohhh yeah! That's the stuff!



It should never be this hard to get attention from my Mommy but it's so much more rewarding when I finally get it. It's going to be a difficult adjustment when she goes back but as long as she remembers my chest scratches, I'll deal with it.

Have a great weekend!

Thankful Thursday

Mommy thinks she's so smart! She took some advice from Isabella, Angel and Sadie's Mom and mixed treats in our raw food and then mixed it up with some commercial food that we love so much and now we're eating raw!

I think Mommy forgets that we're cats and we rarely love something immediately.

I also wanted to post a before and after shot of my belly for my buddy Scooter. He was really concerned that the vet stole some of his furs to run tests. I just want to show him that they grow back!

Here is my belly about a month ago:




Here is my belly yesterday:



There's barely any pink left!

I'm thankful for my new food and my furs growing back to hide my 'treat belly'!

Wordless Wednesday

Tortie Tuesday

Today's Tortie Tuesday lesson is intimidation.

Intimidation is obviously the best tool to get whatever you want from your litter mates, the humans you reside with or any unsuspecting prey that you encounter. The only way to master intimidation is to practice as hard as you can, looking as scary as possible. Here is a montage of some of my best glares:






Hopefully I didn't scare you all off before you started practicing yourself!

Here is the kind of look of submission and fear you can expect if your intimidating stare is successful:



Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Mancat Monday

I am now a proud member of the M-Cats Club! I'm very pleased that I can hang out with some guys for a change. I love my girls but it'll be a nice change.

Mommy believes in positive affirmation and she's always telling me how wonderful I am. I suppose it works because I'm no longer shocked at my handsomeness when I see my image in a mirror. Maybe her positive affirmation is working too well?




Have a wonderful Monday!

Crazy Cleaning Lady

It's been a very long recovery for our Mommy after her surgery but she is finally starting to feel like the new woman the doctors said she would feel like. This is good news but there are some drawbacks. One of the bad things is she's going back to work in a week or so and we're very used to having her at home most of the day. But, by far the worst thing about Mommy feeling better, is her sudden maniacal desire to clean! The Ball Guy has been visiting very frequently to do things that she can't (cat litter, vacuuming, reaching high on shelves to get things, etc) and he's been really cool about it. If we're sleeping on a chair that needs to be de-furred, he waits until we wake up. Mommy, on the other hand, is so full of energy lately (more than we've ever seen) that when she wants to do something, she wants to do it NOW, even if we're busy doing something important (like snoozing) in the area she wants to clean! We want the old woman back!

Here are some examples of her crazy behavior:

Samson and I are enjoying a mid-afternoon nap in the hall when suddenly here comes Mommy with the Swiffer!! Run Sammy! We don't mind stuff on the floor, she shouldn't either!



Dust? What dust? I think you need glasses, Mommy!



That isn't cat fur on Cartman's face, he's growing a beard. Now go away and let me sleep.



The window is not dirty...umm there's a fire in the building and that's smoke. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out and let you know if we have to evacuate. And, by the way, fur on curtains is the latest trend - I read it in Home magazine



It's getting increasingly difficult to fool her but we're going to keep trying.

Have a good weekend!
