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.

Meowy Christmas!

Ok so it's officially Christmas Eve but I'm anticipating a certain human giving me some nip tomorrow for Christmas and you don't want to see my typing on that stuff!

How about a couple of pictures?

This is me, posing for a photo with Santa. I somehow thought he'd be...bigger.

And of course every tree needs an angel on top so here is Toby sporting his wings.
Not that he's a real angel, or that he actually sits on top the tree...what does he do again?


I am anticipating a lot of fun tomorrow. I've been looking for hidden pressies all week and I know the smell of treats quite well, really you'd think they'd know by now. Hello, cat! Superior smelling power. Spooky just tried to tell me it has something to do with old factories...I wonder about him at times, really.
I even thought I heard the distinctive crunch of another crinkle ball in one of the bags but someone tied it shut and I couldn't very well rip it open when there's always a human around to come running and bust me.
A great many ornaments have been knocked from the tree and I am really exhausted from the effort. And kinda frustrated; none of them broke. Apparently the bottom half of the tree is covered in non breaking ornaments.
Who knew humans could learn stuff?
The top half still has the breakable kind though and that sounds like a challenge to me.

I hope all you cats, kittens and humans (because you bring us food and all) have a very Merry Christmas.
As for Santa, I'm keeping an eye out for you.

A shoutout exchange

In exchange for Toby (one of my crew) giving this blog a shoutout on his fanclub at sheezyart, I've agreed to give a shoutout to his new facebook fan page.

Toby's Fan Page on Facebook!

Purrsonaly at the moment I think I'm getting the better side of this deal seeing as I have zero followers and he has several established fans and once he starts getting more famous over at facebook maybe I'll actually pick up a few followers too!

I gotta say, if I ever get any followers, it's be nice to have one of those.
Anyone can say they're a fan just by clicking a button and can then get updates right along with everything else.

I was going to give a shout out to Toby's various online endeavors at some point, I mean if he ever does manage to take over the world I'll be right there on the inside having him as part of my crew. He's the only cat in the crew who ventured onto the internet before me. Ok so his human does all his typing for him because he says has a hard time typing, but I think maybe he can type and just wants to get away with not having to type anything.

Check out Toby's other internet endeavors when you're done becoming a fan on facebook won't ya?

His second website(the first was killed by aol): LINK

His fanclub on sheezyart: LINK

His catster page (you can find me under family): LINK

Whoa there's a button for him on my blog, I had no idea that was gonna happen. Well until I get one of my own I suppose that particular space isn't all that needed for anything.

Humans I want my own fan page now!
