Updates on the crew

It's been a while since I did any updates on the crew so I'll just take this time seeing as the humans aren't hogging the computer again.

Many bugs have been caught and eaten over the last few months, a great many kibbles too. The catnip has been flowing freely and the crinkle ball has been particularly sneaky hiding away when I wasn't looking forcing me into 'stalk it' mode.

Tiggy finally had his overnight sleepover at the vet's house so now my favorite wrestling move "Ball Bite" is doing nothing at all. It's a shame as it's my best move but now everyone is immune to it (of course Patches was born immune, so unfair!).

Teddy and Bambi have been doing the twin snuggle a lot except when it was hot, then they escaped to the basement where it is cooler.

I was forced to defend the land of Duckia north of the waterheater AGAIN. I think that area will always be under dispute seeing as the humans continually try to shoo me off the top of the waterheater. Still I will continue to take it back as it is mine no matter how many times I am driven away.

Patches has pretty much been herself, bratty as ever picking fights then squealing for her favorite human when anyone manages to pin her. Currently she is chasing a fake furry mouse across the floor as though it were real. MOL! My crinkleball is so much cooler.

The 3 old furts Rocky, Mimi and Spooky have been keeping to themselves for the most part. Spooky and Rocky grooming each other and talking loud enough to wake the humans, Mimi hiding off on her own somewhere.

My nannybug, when not sleeping on his favorite human's bed, has been teaching Tiggy some battle moves, mostly so Patches won't know what hit her next time she picks on him and partly because he has become too friendly with Patches, the little traitor!

Smokey and Missy have been hanging out in the basement window when it was hot and the regular room windows when it wasn't. I hang out in windows, but those two live there during the summer when not smacking us around (Missy thinks she is sheriff of Duckia) or hunting real mice (Smokey, the mouse bandit).

Things have overall been good. Oh and look what the humans just did MOL!

I am so not wearing one of those! *run run run*
MOL Patches is jingling!

I was featured on huggincats.com!

Ok my nannybug was too as we were hugging each other for the photos.



This banner thing was made for humans because it doesn't say "I was featured on huggingcats.com" but it'll work. Click the banner to visit this cool site (click the pictures of me and Lokki to see our feature)!

Its been a long month.

I haven't used this blog thing in a while because I was sad.
We lost a member of the crew a few weeks ago.

My good friend and fellow crew member Toby (Tobias Cupid) died.

Side view from his mug shots MOL!

He was a gallant bug sniper in the last big bug hunt; got the lost bug hours before most realized it wasn't going to be found. He may have walked funny and bonked all of us with his nose a little too hard when going in for a face sniff because of his disablity but he was family. When he jumped he flew unlike any cat I have ever met and maybe he didn't always land right, but he got right back up and tried it again. He was good at climbing too. He'd climb all over the place, anything he could sink his claws into.

Toby, hogging the bed as usual! :)

Toby we are all going to miss your funny antics, your strange fondness for dressing up on halloween (which also happened to be your birthday), your slightly bobbing head and loud footsteps. We are going to miss your voice calling out late at night when you think you're all alone. We are going to miss everything (ok maybe we won't miss the hogging of the bed but we always had another bed to choose from) about you because you were one of us. We will even miss the fights that happened ever now and then because when it was all said and done there was always a quiet snuggle to be had. You were always such a happy cat.

I never got around to properly introducing you, and for that I am sorry. I hope this makes up for in in some way.

See you at the rainbow bridge someday buddy.

Meet the newest member of the crew!

Say hello to Tiggy!

Tiggy Ponders the meaning of hairballs

Seeing as the T brothers (Tiny and Tiger) were only honorary crew and have since moved on to their new homes we just had to find a new crew member whose name starts with a T.

Meet Tiggy!
He's my nannybug's newest apprentice and one of my favorite sparring partners. Plus he hasn't gone for his vet sleep over yet so I can pull that winning battle move of mine hehehe

He's not to bad for such a skinny little guy, he moves fast as lightning. He already excels at wrapping his tail around the humans and getting them to spoil him, something my sister Patches highly approves of for as long as it doesn't interfere with her manipulation time or attention.

My first day

First day on twitter, got followed by a dog, hissed and ran up a virtual tree.

Is he gone yet? *looks down*

Nope!


Oh wait, my human is following me too. Chase away the scary dog please!

A new way to bounce on the net

I has a twitter!

ANOTHER LAND OF DUCKIA BEGINS

Now for all those shorter words of wisdom, brief tales of adventure and other quick commentary without taking a whole entry here.

Or you know for just burping at those fake twitter birds!

I'm not a Duck, I'm DUCKY!

This means I don't actually like water, this also means no I don't want to be submerged in running water for what humans call a bath. I can take baths just fine by myself you know, I'm like 4 now! I don't even need Nannybug to wash behind my ears or anything!

Ok so I may have gotten some gooey stuff on my fur, but I was looking forward to discovering just what that was, and if it is worth doing again for another taste.

Also I am ORANGE not yellow, I don't have feathers (that was an isolated incident, let's just say I ate something with feathers ok?), I don't quack unless I have a hairballs, I don't have wings, though I wouldn't mind some of them actually as it would make catching the birds outside my window that much easier.

Also I DON'T LIKE WATER!!!

Oooh it's Patches turn for a bath, I gotta see this!
