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!

Happiness is...

...a warm lap on a cold day.
...a friend to snuggle with when a warm lap is unavailable.
...a can of tuna when you're feeling hungry.
...kibble to fill any bowl.
...all the nip a cat can gobble down while still believing gravity.
...a wicker bed to call your own.
...a crinkle ball that's never far away.

...a crew who understands all these and more.

Happiness is being a cat.

I think I shall now take a nap.

Sooooo relaaaaaaaaaxed!

Someone decided to give me a back massage today. Ok so the rest of the crew got em too along with a brushing and combing. Pampered felines we are. Even the sun came out!

Now if only they would of fed us early it would of been even cooler.

Patches even curled up and just slept in a warm lap for a while. The rest of us stretched out tail to nose on every available bed. Even crinkleball got in on the action and got a few good squishes from me before joining us all in bed.

I need more days like this.

Oh human! I need my pedicure now, and a platter of those lovely treats if you please.

HORRIBLE DAY

Smokey and I sitting around as usual with old crinkle ball nearby.

It started off as a nice day really.
Plenty of birds outside to watch.
Smokey and I were sitting around meowing and batting around the crinkleball when all of a sudden we hear the drama queen (Bambi) give a frightful hiss.

That looks like it hurts Bambi!

DOG! DOG! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DOGS!
*run run run*
*skid*
*run run*
*jump*
*run*
*hide*

TWO DOGS CAME HERE!

I and the rest of the crew are hiding.

Background left to right: Spooky, Mimi, Missy, Rocky

Foreground: Me
All of us up high where the mutts can't reach!

Have no fear, Bambi Smokey and the rest of the crew made it away from the dogs safely and are currently in their own hiding places, some just off camera. Poor crinkleball was left to fend for himself.

I am so very not happy with this. Not only did the humans trick us into thinking the dog wasn't coming after all but they brought TWO!

AND THEY'RE EATING MY FOOD!
If they use the litter box too I just won't stand it.
I might not survive tail intact but I'll put some scratches in their noses they'll never forg...

Oh they're gone. PHEW! Like I was seriously gonna go out there!
Hello humans can you please throw out all that mutt contaminated food and give me fresh kibbles?
Hello?

FEED ME! I'VE BEEN TRAUMATIZED!

heh works everytime!
