After 535 posts this is myy final post on my own blog. Luckily I get to keep on with Frootbat Fridays at our new blog! I started Frootbat Fridays 2 years ago to show off my rather large (OK totally HUGE) ears when I first moved into my furever home. I may have grown slightly into my ears but they're still big!

Thirteen Things I'm going to miss about having my own blog

2008-05-22T01:31:00.000-04:00

9. The concept of "sharing" just doesn't apply to me. I mean, if the LL calls any other cat I yell and come running because she's only allowed to talk to me.
10. I won't have to call my humans by different names will I? Chase had better not try to get me to use his names. The Tall Man is tall not Awesome. The Lap Lady has a nice lap and is not the Woman.
11. I was the first one who started blogging, why should I give up my blog? Its my space. It was MY idea.
12. Will my friends follow me? I'm super sensitive and worried that my friends won't follow me. I know my true friends will follow me and I've already received nice e-mails. Thanks for all of the encouragement!
13. Talking every day of the week! I have A LOT to say so how am I going to keep quiet?

See Chase and Latte for the start of our 13

Thieving- my way of life

2008-05-19T21:32:00.003-04:00

"While the cat's away...." More aptly "When the cats are homegrown nipped out....the sisfur will steal." While Latte & Chase were busy enjoying their new snuggles from DKM (I already have my own of course and its even named after me and pink!) I took to the "packaging". DKM was so sweet to send me snuggles AND string. Its good to be a trash thief!!

Next week I'll be blogging at The Cats P for all future posts.

Final Meezing on Monday

2008-05-18T21:33:00.002-04:00

This will be my last week with solo posting. Next Monday we will all officially move over to our shared blog The Cats P. I'm really really sad to have to share after almost 2 years on our own but I guess things change. I've been guaranteed Frootbat Friday posts and Tuesday and Thursday are up for grabs. Most likely my grabs as I'm so good at stealing stuff!!

For my final Meezing on Monday I would like to meeze about friends. DKM is a really really really good friend to have. She sent Latte & Chase snuggles last week and I won squiggles for guessing a poem on her blog. The boys sunggles are SO beautiful and I've been snuggling in the a lot. But really....squiggles are the most perfect toy ever and now I don't think I'll run out for a long time. Know who your true friends are in life. I know mine are my blogging friends. Without you I might loose faith in stupid humans.

Sorry about not posting earlier, blogger just wouldn't work for us. All night long it wouldn't load any blogs or even gmail. The Tall Man checked the "hops" ('cause he's weird like that) and said the Google servers were having a major routing issue around Washington, D.C. Well, excuse me, I needed access to my BLOG!!! So this morning all was up again, phew!

You're probably going to notice us posting less. We're "backing off" according to the Lap Lady. She's toying with ideas right now of maybe consolidating our blogs together or something like that. But for the time being, less posting. By the time the LL is done with work and riding Snap she gets home at 9:30pm. Then she has to eat and relax and sleep so that really only leaves us a little time to post and that's on a good day. I hope everyone understands, we fought this for 5 months and we just can't make it work. It makes me very sad and we're all really torn up about it.

Oh man....I NEED the toys in here! NEED them. Right now!!!! Nowwwww!!!! Why won't my Lap Lady stay home with me and play all day long? I told her I'd pay her in snuggles and purrs but she said those can't buy food or more toys. I don't care if she doesn't make green papers, I need to be played with in order to be a happy kitty.

I'll admit, some cats might think this is kitty torture. I, however, purred my heart out. I find it quite comfy to have my paws held and lie on my back. Also, the nip banana was Chase's left overs, I don't really get in on nip. My Tall Man called this pose a "Kaze tube". So today my meezing has to do with trying new things because you never know what you're going to enjoy.

Thirteen Things I save in my Crevice

2008-05-08T00:00:00.000-04:00

Last night one of us *ahem* yakked on the love seat. This prompted the Lap Lady to clean up the whole love seat and find all of my treasures.

1. Ticket to a concert back in February.
2. Pull tab from butter box.
3. Plastic pull top from bag of cheese.
4. Bits of tissue paper from a gift box.
5. Plastic wrapper from the top of an eye-drop bottle.
6. Q-tip.
7. One dollar bill.
8. Temptation (I was saving it for later!).
9. Tag from one of the Lap Lady's new skirts.
10. Hair elastic.
11. Receipt from Blockbuster (with due date listed).
12. A coupon for dish washing detergent.
13. Pull top from a lazy human dinner (microwaveable).

Do you see the indignity of my clawrs? They've been clipped. I don't know about you but I can't stand to have my claws clipped. I find it very disturbing and scary. It takes two people to get the task complete. The Tall man holds me and my Lap Lady comes at me with the clippy things. I always try to purr my way out if it but to no avail. Squirming helps but still doesn't seem to work.

Snap said she will try to blog more. She told me to tell everyone that when my LL went out to ride her (she even left work early) she had pulled half of her shoe off and therefore was limping. I have to say, Snap has the best advice for annoying humans.

Snap's thoughts on the Eight Belles tragedy

2008-05-05T14:54:00.006-04:00

****Public Equine Service Announcement- Not Feline related at all**********

OK, so I know I'm not allowed on the blogs much because yes I have large hooves and I can make a mess in the house. However, Kaze alerted me to the fact that Captain Jack & Sir Dante's mom had a lovely post about the filly, Eight Belles. I'm not here to debate, just give the perspective of a former race horse. A perspective as the boss mare of many future race horses.

Eight Belles was kind of my cousinish. Well, we have similar breeding at least, both having Mr. Prospector as a Grandhorse and having Native Dancer on both sides. Plus she's from one of our home race tracks; Delaware. This is where some of my minion horses go when they go test if they'd like to be racehorses. I'm sure some of my past minions rubbed shoulders with her on races.

Don't get me wrong, I HATED being a race horse. I sucked at it. I ran in 4 races and I failed to finish anywhere near respectable. In fact, I was last in most races. Its not my "thing". My thing is to be totally spoiled and barely asked to do anything beneath me. I'm a queen of course. But some horses- some horses LOVE running in races. These are the horses who make it to the Kentucky Derby. Their passion to run makes them spectacular.

My barn is filled with racehorses-to-be. The Woman-In Charge is amazing. You know how humans generally fail animal needs? Not her, she rocks, she knows when we need a half-flake more hay, an extra water bucket, or when we need to stay in the barn in the winter. We trust her completely because she's proven herself time and time again. She is the woman who teaches the young horses how to be ridden and accept the things in life that will come at them when they try to be racehorses. Our babies (I say mine because I teach them older mare stuff in the field like how to avoid being captured hehe) are happy and LOVED. Truly loved. The vet care is incredible and their owners and trainers care for these horses and know their personalities and likes/dislikes. Training progresses at the speed of the filly or colt, not on an arbitrary schedule.

I would like to share a story of one horse in our barn and his love of racing. "Jack" as we called him was 3 years old when he was shipped out to our barn from California. The Woman-in-Charge took him in to see if she could get him re-trained to be a pleasure horse which is what I do (and I LOVE it!!). Jack did not want this. Jack spent a winter out in the field to "chill out", he was ridden lightly, he was ridden out in fields, he was given every chance to "calm down" and find joy in being ridden. Even my Woman (Kaze's Lap Lady) rode him. Scared the poop out of her because Jack only wanted to RUN. Anything else was not cool with him, he just was an unhappy horse. So Aunt G finally suggested maybe Jack should run again. He was put back into training at 5 years old and do you know what? Jack was laughed at and ridiculed for trying to get back into the sport. He showed them- he won his first race. Yup, Jack loves to run. This isn't even an old story- this race happened 2 weeks ago.

Please don't try to debate me, I'm a chestnut thoroughbred mare and I'm ALWAYS right. Just ask my human. My intent here was to give hope to those who feel that racehorses are not well cared for. This is true in some truly sad circumstances but the vast majority of humans who take care of us deeply care about our welfare. Sure things need to change in racing but totally stopping racing would not fix anything. We are fragile yet strong animals who are very well loved by the humans around us. Of course there are exceptions (as there are with kitties too) but the majority of race people have a good heart. As for race horses- we let you know pretty fast if we like our jobs or not- hence the reason I got this sweet gig with my Woman and Jack is back at the track.

Today I want to meeze about snuggling. Its always better with a partner. Sure humans are the best for warmth sapping but brofurs can be quite useful. That is when they aren't lying on top of you. That's annoying.

So you know how my Lap Lady goes to ride Snap? Well there are 3 cats who live there. They're all well taken care of and had their hoo-has removed and such. Well there is another barn close by who does NOT take care of their feral cats. In fact they get mad when people try to catch and release them. Sometimes these cats wander over to our barn because of the cat food.

Anyhow, there was apparently a 9 month old girl kitty who was more talkative than ME following the LL and TM around. She was very sweet and really purred and talked the whole time they were there. Snap thought the cat was crazy. I don't know what she would think of me if we ever met. At least my ears are bigger.

Thanks.

Yes Tall Man. There is no need to taunt and torture me, I KNOW where the toys are thank you very much. Your pointing to the toys just serves to make me meeze louder and harder for you to play with me. You're slacking Tall Man- the Lap Lady plays with me every morning before work, you're supposed to be on night duty.

I'm not amused.

I almost forgot its knock-knock joke day!!!

Kaze: Knock Knock.

The Lap Lady: Who's there?

Kaze: Meeze.

The Lap Lady: Meeze Who?

Kaze: MEEEEEEEEEEEZEEEEEEE!

The Lap Lady: OK, Meeze who, Kaze?

Kaze: MEEEZE want to play!!!! Or else I'll steal trash.

The Lap Lady: Kaze, that's not really a knock-knock joke, its more a threat.

I learned a hard lesson yesterday. THIS (above) is a toy. The stairs are NOT toys to be scratched upon. I got yelled at by my Lap Lady and Tall Man! I was so upsetted I hid under the dinning room table until they both came and coaxed me out on their own. I do not handle yelling well at all I get REALLY upset when humans raise their voices. Luckily my Lap Lady doesn't stay mad long at all and she often "covers for me" when I make mistakes and scratch the wrong things or steal stuff.

Meezing on Monday

2008-04-27T22:25:00.004-04:00

Today I'd like to meeze about meezes. Lots of my friends have asked what exactly is a meeze? And what about a merf? Well since it was such a meeze filled weekend (I never had a chance to be quiet it seemed) I figured I'd explain.

To meeze comes from the word Meezer which comes from Siamese. Siamese have have a very distinctive and loud voice. Us Oriental Shorthairs who are descended from Siamese have even louder and constant talking voices (at least my line of OSHs does). I talk constantly! From day break to sleepy time I'm either meezing or purring or meeze-purring. The humans say its like having another person talking in the house all of the time. I meeze when I want things, when I don't want things, and when I'm bored. I meeze constantly!!

I merf when I'm quiet and sleepy. Its when I go to meeze but its really soft so I kind of puff out one of my lips and this merf noise comes out. The Tall Man loves it and thinks its especially adorable how my lip puffs with air and I say merf. So that's my signature noise even though I have many. I do not just have one meeze, I have like hundreds of different tones and voices for how I'm feeling.

Happy Birthday Tall Man! Thursday Thirteen

2008-04-23T20:57:00.002-04:00

Today I want to celebrate my Tall Man and his 28 years. So I'm going to give some reasons why he's the bestest Tall Man ever.

1. He's tall- that means he's an incredible perch! His shoulders are a great place to hang out.

2. He thinks up the best nick-names for me. My favorite is Princess Kahzee-zee Bumblestumps the Third. I simply adore being called by this name.

3. He's the best person to play Whirly-Bird or any other interactive toy. He just knows how to make it go!

4. He lets me snuggle with my Lap Lady all night long. For him this means she turns her back to him and hugs me. This also means that even when he wants a "cat free" night he lets me stay with my Lap Lady anyway.

5. He gives the best ear massages!!! Which is great for those of us with big ears.

6. He always laughs while yelling at me for stealing stuff.

7. He talks very sweetly to me because he knows that for whatever reason he makes me nervous. It makes him sad since he says he doesn't want me to be scared of him.

8. He holds really good conversations on meezing. He'll meeze at me for long times. He especially likes to merf with me.

9. He encourages me to chase Chase around to get him exercised.

10. He's home more often than my Lap Lady so he's a good back up person to snuggle with.

11. He lets me sniff his breath. How cool is that?

12. He's just a super happy guy who makes us all smile even if we're scared or mad or something.

13. He yells at visitors when they say nasty things about me. He tells them that I'm the sweetest cat ever.

Squiggle-rific!!! I have to say, DKM makes the best toys. I have had this for a really long time now and its just one of my favorites. I'm very good to my squiggles and I don't loose them under furniture. I like to play fetch with them or have them dangled in front of me so I can leap at them. Teaching my Lap Lady to fetch can be tiresome but she's getting better.

Today I'd like to meeze about humans messing up our schedules. How dare my Lap Lady not be around for a week??? I snuggled and purred and looked all cute but every morning she got up early and drove to Atlantic City and got home really late. She came home with a huge bag of schwag and tons of little fun things for me to play with.

The Lap Lady and Tall Man spent most of the weekend getting him a birthday present- a cool fancy bike! Of course the Lap Lady got a new one too because he didn't want to bike alone (but hers cost nothing like his!). So now I have to share my Lap Lady with Snap but now this thing will steal her time. I just can't win. I'm trying to meeze louder to get more attention but I still don't have the results I want.

I'm too traumatized to pose for a picture right now. My Lap Lady paints her face on work mornings and I like to watch. I jump up on the sink and stare at her while she opens and closes the cabinet and gets more intersting things to put on her face. This morning was terrifying- she closed my tail in the cabinet door!!!!!! I screamed louder than I've ever screamed before. It was terrifying and oh so painful. Luckily for her I screamed before any damage had been done and my tail is still fine. She said something about having bad tail luck as Chase has a kink at the end of his tail where she shut a door over it and Latte had that weird tail thing last year where it went limp at the base.

Monday we'll all be back to normal!

Trouble Thursday- Bad Girl

2008-04-16T21:59:00.003-04:00

So you know how humans take tiny little pills sometimes? My Lap Lady takes one in the morning and one at night. The one in the morning makes her happy and the one at night is so we're the only kittens in her life. Anyhow, I ~~stole~~ played with the board with the tin foil that holds her night pills. Its about the size of a credit card and since she's been at the ABC Show all week long and here only late at night I wanted to get my point across that her ignoring me is NOT OK. She got REALLY upset that I took those pills and placed them under the oven. REALLY MAD. She said I was lucky she could get them out with a spoon. I've never seen her so upset with me. I felt really bad and merfed and ran away. Of course she came after me feeling bad for yelling but still, I was just trying to tell her how much I missed her!!! I did receive lots of snuggling after the incident.

Oh, and I think there is a $10 bill under the oven too. I'm a cash thief. Always have been, even when I was a tiny kitten at my breeder's house. Dollar dollar bills y'all!

It was a terrifying lonely weekend!!! Do you see what I had to resort to? Snuggling with Chase when he was asleep so he wouldn't know it was me. I was so askeered!!!

OK, so the Lap Lady was Out of Doors all day on Saturday. I missed her so I yelled to her out of the windows while she was working. When she was done she took Latte outside and he had a nice time so she decided to *gulp* give me a turn. Now, I had previously last fall like being Out of Doors a little bit. That was until the VISHUS GIANT CAT EATING DOG!!!!! (Note from the LL: "Cookie" is a 3lbs. Yorkshire Terrier with a very waggy tail).

I kid you not, this THING tried to eat me. So I HAD to puff up and hiss at it. Luckily my Lap Lady had a sweatshirt on so I knew it was OK to climb her shoulders. I only climb her when she has a sweatshirt on so I don't hurt her with my claws. I have never been so puffed up before in my life! Needless to say my outdoor trip did not last too long but she did take me to the other side of the house so I'd "get over it". I don't "get over" things. I meeze about them. Loudly. The neighbor lady was a bit taken aback by my meezing. Well neighbor lady- get your VISHUS creature away from me and I'll stop meezing!

It was 80 degrees here yesterday! The windows were open and he Lap Lady left work early to go ride Snap. I think it did the LL a lot of good because she was MUCH happier when she got back from the barn. She was friendly and happy and I haven't seen her happy in like weeks. She claims its because after 6 months she could finally give Snap a bath. Snap likes to roll around in the mud a lot. In the winter her long furs get really caked in mud and no matter how much the Lap Lady brushes her she still stays dirty. Now Snap is soft and fresh! I can't believe she lets herself be hosed down....I mean a bath is terrifying enough but to be hosed off?!!! I don't understand horses.

I had a bad day yesterday. I was just kind of cranky and you could tell by my meezes. My meezes were pretty flat and deep when the Lap Lady got home. I was just telling her that I was still mad about her being away on the weekend and then going right to work on Monday. Plus, I just wanted to play with our new toy but I can't unless she plays with me.

My friends are the reason I keep on blogging even when the Lap Lady tries to figure out a way to make us slow down or even *gasp* stop. I just stand there and yell at her and remind her how important my friends are to me!

My bestest friends Merlin & Dragonheart sent ME this awesome toy from Germany. Its one of their favorites and I can totally tell why! This thing is amazing!!! I'll show you more pictures this week of me enjoying but wow, I have not leapt around like this in a really really long time. Thank you so much Dragonheart and Merlin, I LOVE it!!!!

My LL went away with some ladies for Saturday. She says they're all related to the Tall Man and she was totally excited to be included. But as far as I was concerned- she LEFT me. She left me all alone and I MISSED her so much. I have no idea how she slept without me purring in her arms. I didn't even bother snuggling with the Tall Man during the night, I just saved up my love and I leapt at the Lap Lady when she came in the door.

The Lap Lady thinks she's so smart and can read the paw prints on the trash can as mine. Just because I have tiny "petal paws" doesn't mean those paw prints weren't from Chase or Latte. I'm the good one you know. I never do anything that is "wrong". Anyway, why does she even care, I mean I couldn't get in the trash can anyway. Oops....I mean no cat could get in. Yeah.

Oh, well.

I haven't done much today - I fixed Mum's printer…

Had a nap in her In tray….

Had a nap on the bed…..

Went through Mum's purse to find her plastic card and ordered some things on-line.

Just one of my regular days, although I still can't get over the feeling of being out of place.

As you know I have a special bond with my Lap Lady. However I also have a special bond with my Tall Man. He's really really good at petting and playing. Its really important to use everything in your environment for your pleasure. You have to take what you can get with humans and I've found the Tall Man to be quite useful especially when my LL is a the barn.

I am SO glad today is Friday. My LL has been interviewing new people for her old job all week. That means she hasn't even had any time to do her normal jobs all week long let alone keep up with us. I'm not going to try to excuse not getting around anymore. I think its just going to be the way things are for a while. But I am still reading everyone's blogs and keeping up on everything!!

I'm so behind in blogging I don't even know where to start! I know I've been tagged for the middle name meme by Junior and Scout and I think someone else- please forgive me for not posting!

Lets see.....my middle name actually is Kaze. My first name would be Moncoeur's (my cattery name) but I think I'll use that name instead.

M- Manipulative. I'm trying to teach my LL to play fetch with me but she's pretty dense. She needs to get up from the couch to go get it- duh!

O- Opposed. I'm opposed to anything that isn't exactly what I want to do.

N- Naughty. I do not think this one fits me but the LL said she got to choose one word.

C- Creative. I like to decorate with trash bits! They are very beautiful and under utilized.

O- Optimistic. I am always very patient that if I meeze enough I will get played with.

E- Eager. I'm eager to play at all hours of the day!!!!!

U- Ubiquitous. I'm everywhere my humans are hoping for some play time or snuggling.

R- Regal. My frootbat ears and meezer voice make me the Princess Kah-zee-zee Bumblestumps III. (This would be the creation of the Tall Man).

Finally, finally there are Spring sun spots in our house!!!! Its really exciting. Here Latte and I are enjoying a nice snuggle on our Gizzy Quilt.

Hours awake with the Lap Lady in the past 24 hours: two. I need a new Lap Lady. Anyone know where I could find one??

Today I would like to meeze on video gaming systems. DO NOT let these into your homes, especially the Wii. (Especially if your human is obsessed with horses and buys a horse game.) First of all you loose time with your human- the woman and Auntie E played for 5 hours straight yesterday. Secondly, the furniture moves around. Thirdly- you aren't even going to believe this one its SO terrible:

YOU CAN GET HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THE WII_MOTE!!! I went to jump up on the couch while the LL was "bowling" and on her back swing she hit me HARD in the head. Luckily those wii-mote things have wii-jackets which make them less hurty when they hit stuff. The LL was all "I'm SOOOO sorry Kaze!!!" I was like, yeah whatever, it didn't really hurt but I'll take the hugs and kisses.

However, LL, this butt's for you!

My Lap Lady got a Wii yesterday. Yeah, the arm flailing and movements and strange noises from the flashy box are a bit....well weird. I have a feeling that while last weekend was filled with reading this weekend will be filled with virtual sports. And since its raining and she can't ride Snap (who is sore and its supposed to rain) she'll be riding virtual horses on the Wii.

Monday is the 10 year anniversary of my humans dating. While they've been married for almost 4 years they started dating when the LL was 16. She has something special planned....him, I totally doubt it. We'll see.

Trouble Thursday

2008-03-12T22:48:00.005-04:00

OK, so this Thursday I have lots of trouble to report. I've had an extreme need to find cool toys lately. This has translated to getting YELLED at by the Lap Lady. I mean she totally raised her voice and said "KaZEEE....NOOOOOO!". Can you believe that? I mean, I was just checking out her pocketbook for goodies like the list of votes for the Siamese Spring Contest. We didn't tell anyone but for about an hour I had taken the master list. the Lap Lady was able to hunt it down.

Then there was the power cable topper thing. See, on the new Macbook Pro (well its not really new, its just new to her) there is a little plastic cap over the power thingy that you take off so it can magnetically attract to the computer. Anyhow, its pretty tiny, clear, and FUN. I stole it. I stole it so badly that the LL spent HOURS on the floor feeling around for the little thing.

Oh and then there was the band-aide stealing and placing it in our food dish. She shouldn't have thrown it out in the bathroom trash if she didn't want me to get it.

OK, well there are lots of things that I've enjoyed this week but the LL hasn't. I don't like when she's upset with me and she knows that so she doesn't stay mad long which is good.

But I'm this cute, how can she resist me?

The Lap Lady never buys us toys. I know, we are totally deprived you might be thinking. However we've been super lucky and careful with gifts that our friends have sent us for either contests or Secret Paws, etc. So we have lots of really cool toys. However, this means that the LL never has to go out and pick us out toys since our stores around here just don't have great toys. Anyway, she was getting us some new litter (good, it was OLD) and saw this toy. She immediately thought of Latte since it was pink but also of me since I like two ended toys. I'll rate it at OK. Fun to toss up a bit and hard to loose under furniture. This lasted maybe 5 days and then I was able to loose it under some furniture. We'll get to that on Trouble Thursday however...

When investigating new areas always check first for heat sources. This is our porch heater and it blows hot air and has flashy log thingies. It blows really nice warm air so its kind of like my heatbox.

The Lap Lady read all day on Saturday- she NEVER does that. Not a book anyway so I really enjoyed some quality time with her. So much so that on Sunday morning when we woke up I didn't even purr when she scritched my ears. I just blinky looked at her. She thought I was sick but I was just accepting her as another cat. I didn't purr because it was like mutual grooming.

Not to worry

2008-03-08T17:01:00.001-05:00

Some cats have been asking if I'm OK from my fun with the antibiotic packet aka "cool toy". I'm perfectly fine! As someone mentioned it did NOT taste good so once I tasted it I stayed away. I've been spending this rainy Saturday in my LL's lap with Latte on the front porch. We saw a rainbow together! It made me think of all of my friends at the Rainbow Bridge. We got a picture but we aren't sure how it came out.

Frootbat Friday

2008-03-06T22:54:00.003-05:00

The Lap Lady says I was REALLY bad last night. Like super duper dangerous to my health bad. When the LL was at the ER for her finger they gave her a little ketchup packet of antibiotic ointment. Well she had it on the counter and it was such a wonderful looking tid-bit that I had to steal it. Sure it tasted icky but it looked so fun to play with. When she and the Tall Man got back from their walk she freaked out. She evaluated the amount left in the packet, exactly where my tooth marks were, how I was acting, and now she won't stop staring at me. What did I do wrong? I just don't get it. It was just a neat green tid-bit. She says it was in a Kaze-proof area but we all know that no area is Kaze-proof if its in the house. If I see something I want, I will get it.

Exhausted

2008-03-05T21:09:00.003-05:00

Usually after a nice restful Wordless Wednesday I'm ready for my Trouble Thursday. Unfortunately last night we had a terrible thunderstorm so none of us slept past 4am. It was SO loud that Latte leapt off of the Tall Man and Chase did "flat cat" out of the sleeping room into his safe zone behind the bathroom door. So I was the good one, I did not get into trouble this week! Oh wait....there was when the LL told me the stairs are not a scratching post and if the TM found me he'd scream and yell instead of say "Kaaaazzeee...sweetie, don't do that!"

All of my toys live in here. Well, not the best ones, those live in the trash can. OK, or the ones I always play with 'cause those are under the bookshelf. BUT, there are some good toys in here like the whrily-bird. When the Tall Man is not so busy (yeah, he worked until 10pm last night but let the LL go ride Snap so that was real nice of him 'cause he could have really used her help at work- they work together) he plays whirly-bird with me and Latte every night before sleepy time. I would like to play whirly-bird with him ALL of the time so anytime he looks at me I get up, run around the back of the table and sit here and MEEZE at the top of my lungs. It usually doesn't work. Do you think he's desensitized to my meezes?

Today I'd like to meeze on humans and this "work" aka "day hunting" thing they do. Now, I realize they do it so that we can have stinky goodness and toys and a house and stuff so I can accept that she will be gone for a predetermined amount of time 5 days a week. What I can not accept is when she works from the morning until 1:30am. That is not cool. Humans need to remember that we are the most important things in their life! They need to remember that work is just to get green papers and they are supposed to grow on trees (are they not??!).

When I don't get my LL time I get cranky and needy. I followed her around all day on Saturday and couldn't seem to catch up on my love time. She can't do this work thing much more- its killing me!

Where's my Lap Lady???

2008-02-29T23:57:00.001-05:00

Its 1:30am on Saturday and my Lap Lady is not at home!! I've been meezing at the door for her but I have not see her or the Tall Man! Do you think WORK ate her???

Trouble Thursday

2008-02-27T19:48:00.002-05:00

Sometimes I get in trouble for things that don't always involve trash. Sometimes I get in trouble with my fur siblings. But I don't get yelled at for that, I just get a whap-down. No matter how much Chase says he's in charge I just can't let it go. He's so much fun to pounce on and chase around. But when things start looking bleak I yowl and hiss and spit and scream like he's about to kill me and then he backs off. Then I go after him again. The Lap Lady says I just don't learn my lessons.

When the LL cleaned out our toy closet she found some cool catnip puffs. We all really had fun with these. First you can plan your pouncing route. You can arrange it where you want it and then back up. Next, run really fast at it and push it ahead of you.Watch out for siblings in the way! You may have to have a detour to get out of the way of lounging siblings.
I still got it!!! Latte tried to steal it but after all of that, it was MINE.

Playing is an issue near and dear to my heart. I probably meeze more on this subject than on anything else. This is the famous Toy Closet. It holds toys, treats, and other magical tidbits of joy. The Lap Lady SO tortured us by "cleaning" out the closet. Do you know she threw AWAY toys? I mean, I know trash is always a toy but toys as trash? Mind boggling. Anyhow, she was cleaning out old shmousies that Latte or Chase had eaten the butt end of and totally frayed squiggle worms and grass wands. It was sad to see the old friends go but at least now we can find everything.

I spent the entire hour meezing at her. Just standing there while she was "working" and meezed. I have to say being vocal has its uses. I annoyed her so much that she would toss me a new toy every now and then after I lost the one she'd just tossed me. Use the power of your voice!

Frootbat Friday

2008-02-21T20:10:00.003-05:00

Its time for another Frootbat Friday where I showcase my rather large (OK, HUGE) ears. I've found that while you all know me rather well there are certain nuances about myself that may be less understood. Like the thwapping sound my ears make when I shake my head. Or how I can loose an entire hind paw practically up to the hock when I scratch an ear. Or how they really are like radar dishes and I can hear what's going on downstairs when I'm upstairs as you can see my one ear "tune in" on what's going on. My ears themselves have a "thumbprint" which is light tan in color while the rest is darker and more black. This is part of being a lynx point.

Also remember that because I'm an Oriental Shorthair I'm actually not a meezer. In fact since I'm meezer colored I can't be a show quality OSH even though many of my siblings (even from the same litter) are allowed to show. My fur color does not match that of the CFA allowed patterns for OSH. Sure my relatives were meezers 30 years ago and some of my siblings are pointed but I'm a full blooded Oriental Shorthair. Apparently the meezers at the shows were competing against some of us meezer colored OSHs and they didn't like that so they changed the rules. My mother is actually a dark dark brown color, almost black, while my dad a tabby. But both have huge ears and long bodies and are very "meezy". So there's a little bit more on me!

Trouble Thursday

2008-02-20T20:58:00.002-05:00

I was really lucky here and Latte actually found this tasty tid=bit for me. It is one of those friction stickers so it curled up and slid easily across the floor. The Tall Man was in the shower so my LL let me play with it for a while. It was fun to toss and slide but I did not like when it got stuck in my mouth- that wasn't fun. But as usual the fun did not last and the tid-bid was stolen from me like all of the best things to play with.

If you ever come to our house be prepared to meet Kazlatte. Wherever one goes, the other follows. We're pretty much magnetically attracted to each other and the LL sometimes wonders how its possible that two cats of two different breeds who act completely differently are so close. We even will use the litterbox at the same time! We eat side by side and drink from different sides of the fountain. Latte sleeps on top of me at night and curled up with me all day long. If I meeze at the toy closet, he follows my lead. Whirly-bird time we take turns trying to catch the birdie. Latte even comes with me to the VET and it makes me so much happier.

Today I'd like to meeze about the sun. The sun is starting to be brighter and around longer and this pleases me. There are so many things to do in a sun spot- nap, play, eat, bathe, etc. This was a mid-bath roll over to show the sun my belly in a sign of deference to its power. So Sun I salute you! Thank you for shining and making me happy and warm.

I'm so excited about our contest to help Sammy and Miles. I'm sure you've heard about it from Latte but if you haven't please enter! Spring has Sprung Contest

Frootbat Friday & I Won!

2008-02-14T21:39:00.003-05:00

I won Rocky's Spiciest Vixen category for my valentine to Mao! I win a Best Friend's Sponsorship in my name! Merlin's valentine to me also won for best static valentine. What a fun contest, I loved seeing everyone's great valentine's to their loved ones.
I had the best toy last night!! My Lap Lady made buffalo for dinner (yes, the real big animals!) and when she opened the chicken stock she forgot to throw out the pull tab. Well of course I took it as my Valentine's Day gift and it entertained me for 2 full hours. I was upstairs while they were eating and I kept meezing and batting around my prize. What a great night!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

2008-02-13T21:08:00.006-05:00

Today I'm going to purr my heart out! I have a wonderful boyfriend cat Mao who gave me the raciest valentine's dance. But I have two very special Valentine's Day friends who are both kittens. Little Merlin (who just lost his hoo-ha's) and Stella's kitten Pollux. Both of these sweeties gave me such sweet Valentines, I am one lucky little frootbat!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

My Lap Lady went and met the nice woofie lady last night. The nice lady brought her back a Best Friend's t-shirt which made my Lap Lady so happy. Now the woofie just needs to fly out to NJ from Best Friends. Oh, and my Lap Lady is finally healthy! After all of her tests and such it went away on its own. She wishes she knew what it was but tis gone so she's happy about that.

Look at how generous Chase is being. He was napping up here and let me take a nice nap snuggling with him. He's even been purring for the Lap Lady!

My Lap Lady has a special assignment! Best Friends recently sent out an e-mail looking for someone in our area who could do a home study for a dog adoption. She said she'd be happy to help so now she gets to go talk with the woman at her house! She's super excited to be able to help this woofie and Best Friends.

Do you want to know how desperate for playing I am? Receipts. Of course you know I love "trash" anyway but since the Tall Man seems to very easily ignore my meezes at the toy closet I decided to take my nagging a bit further. Now I will carry a piece of "trash" in my mouth and yell at the same time. Now you'd think this would be difficult and it is! Keeping my jaws clamped on the juicy trash morsel while meezing loudly has taken a lot of practice. I mean, my meezes usually make me open my mouth WIDE. So this tactic is used to get the attention of the Tall Man and make him get up and get my "trash" and then play with me. Its not working...yet.

Frootbat Friday

2008-02-07T21:12:00.000-05:00

Talk about huge upheaval! My Lap Lady and Tall Man switched sides on the couch! I can't really wrap my mind around this yet because I go for the Lap Lady's lap and I find the Tall Man. Then I go for a little begging for play from the Tall Man and I find the Lap Lady. It's very confusing. Though now I can snuggle on my lap lady and cuddle into the couch at the same time so its like a little Kaze cave of love. I think my Lap Lady likes the boob walking I'm doing while I'm figuring it all out.

Now I know I'm not around a lot right now. I promise I am reading all of your blogs and keeping up on things (and donating to project HAM!! Have you donated??) but the Lap Lady's new job (plus office and raise!) is keeping her super busy and she's figuring out her whole knew time scheme.

Isn't this super sweet? I have a secret admirer! I am so tickled pink. My admirer posted this in Monty Q's contest.

As you all know Mao is my boyfriend cat but I also have a Valentine friend- little Pollux! My Lap Lady promises that in the next few days she's going to help me make some valentines for my special guys. She already helped Chase and Latte so its my turn!

I hope you're not mad at me for not visiting over the past week. I made the LL try but she was on the second highest mountain in Maine and the wi-fi was broken so she couldn't help us blog. I also don't think I would have been happy up there as I hear that even though they were in a suite my Grandpaw snored so loud the LL & TM couldn't even sleep with cotton balls in their ears!

As for me, my LL is home. So I'm still purring and snuggling and I'm oh so happy that my Tall Man is playing with me!!

So happy

2008-02-03T22:52:00.000-05:00

She's home!! She's home!!! My Lap Lady is home!!!! I know Gamma was here and kept us fed and watered and pet but I need my Lap Lady to be happy. So yeah, I have a little cold because when my Lap Lady is away I get really really upset and it makes me sick. I wish she would never leave me.

She had a crazy week and said that she and the Tall Man almost got lost over a cliff in Northern New Hampshire. It was snowing and freezing rain and there were tight mountain passes up and down. She was terrified. If I were there I told her I would have screamed at the Tall Man to stop driving but she didn't have much luck. I'm just happy that the Metal Monster with wheels brought them through!

2008-01-29T09:22:00.000-05:00

The Tall Man has a new tactic he's using with me. Temptation. And I'm not talking those tasty treats! He thinks its funny to put something that I really really really want to steal in front of me. Now I know if I'm visible to the humans with trash I'll get yelled at. So I don't steal under their noses, only when they aren't around. So here I sit totally tortured. And he just laughs and laughs. Luckily he did reward me with a lot of whirly-bird time. He's the fastest bird-slinger-in-the-East! (But he can't beat Latte's jaws of death or my death defying leaps!). He gets me so tired playing that I practically pant. I have to fall over for a while and breath really hard while my underarms are very pink.

2008-01-28T10:55:00.000-05:00

Can you believe it??? Chase is LETTING me snuggle with him. He even let me rest my head on his body without flinching. Chase usually gets up and moves the instant I try to snuggle with him so these opportunities are rare. It lasted long enough for the LL to go downstairs and get her flashy box. OK, so I did get up before she came back but she pushed me over and I snuggled with him again- just not as close as before. The LL doesn't ever pose us but she really wanted to catch this miracle so I could share with my friends.

Yao-lin tagged me for the 3 Things that are new with you.

1. I spend every possible waking moment I am around the Tall Man begging him to play with me. He has started to really enjoy playing with me and every night he plays with a wand toy with me and the Whirly-Bird with Latte. This has made me really really talkative and loving of my Tall Man. Once he gets up from the couch for any purpose I assume he's playing with me and scream at the toy closet.

2. The Tall Man is tempting me with wrappers. He thinks its funny to tempt me with things he knows I want but I am Not Allowed to have. Its really not very nice of him as my heart starts racing when I see a wrapper that I know would crinkle so nicely in my mouth and with a little bat of my paw.

3. My Lap Lady stepped on my tail and pulled a tuft of black fur out! I was sooooo upset with her I wouldn't let her catch me to apologize. I know it was an accident but it was a large tuft of fur! And my tail is small!

Valentine!

My very very sweet little Valentine's Day friend is Pollux who is one of Stella's kittens. We have loads in common besides the big ears and meezer attitudes! I am very excited that he sent me such a beautiful valentine and I'm honored. Don't worry Mao, Pollux knows I'm spoken for, we're just friends.

My new favorite toy!

2008-01-24T07:47:00.000-05:00

I absolutely LOVE my fishy crinkle creature!!! The best part about it is that its big enough so it doesn't get misplaced under furniture. Not that I would misplace it but you know maybe Latte or Chase or the Lap Lady might misplace it or something.

I can toss it in the air, I can play fetch with it, I can drop it in the water bowl so the colors bleed all over the Lap Lady's hands. Duh, its a FISH, I wanted to put it back in water! Humans make no sense. I love my fishy crinkler!!!!

OK, I'll admit...its misplaced already.

I miss my Lap Lady! I haven't seen much of her at all this past week. I think she might be mad at me? I don't think I did anything wrong but you never know with humans, what they think is wrong seems so right to me. I keep yelling at her and sitting next to her and purring but its not working. She told me she loves me very much and misses me all day when she's at work. But I want her to be with me full time! Do you think if I pay her in purrs she would stay home and work for me?

My nemesis....

2008-01-21T05:41:00.000-05:00

There he goes...all sauntery and stuff. Cooing. I have to plot very carefully because he fur is thick and his paws are swift and fierce. We've been having an all out play-war. I taunt him into a game of chase which he can never resist. Then he runs after me (how he's that fast at his size I will never know!) and gets me on the couch where I bat at him and hiss and scream. I just can't seem to win. So I keep my eye on him....

Friends, I have something hard to say. My LL and I had a really long discussion this weekend. She talked to all three of us and said that things are going to be changing. She has taken on a more demanding role at work so that means we're not going to be able to blog during the day which is when we usually read our friends and comment. She said she's going to work super hard to get us caught up at night so we won't suffer from her new obligations. So if we're not around as much please bear with us during this change. Thanks!

I am very very sad about Caesar crossing to the Rainbow Bridge. Please go visit Prinnie and his Mom.

I don't understand why my LL is still sick. I mean, that big CAT scanned her but it must not have been very helpful because it didn't spit out the results in time for her doctor's appointment. Plus those rats who live in labs didn't give up their results either. So the LL is no better and still has no idea what is wrong with her.

I am so sorry I haven't been around visiting friends. I'm yelling at the top of my lungs at the Lap Lady but she's either really super duper busy at the day hunting place or passed out at home. Our whole lives have really been overturned this week so we're just all trying to adjust.

I guess I can wait for play time. Well not really but I'll try.

Trouble Thursday

I'm reflecting on this past week. Wow. Its been crazy!! I want to thank all of my friends for thinking of me and my whole family. We're so thankful that Latte is healthy and acting normal and we're still purring for the LL that she's gonna be OK.

Now on to the more important things: ME!!
I've been the afterthought in our house. I have to tell you I've been a very Good Girl (aside from the constant screaming and the stealing and the knocking over the telescope and belly walking and pawing, etc.) I just want everything to go back to normal so I can have more play time!!! So yes, I've "borrowed" lots of toys that aren't really toys but I had to keep myself entertained! My LL even let me keep some of them because she feels guilty about not being able to play with me.

Toesday

2008-01-14T19:54:00.000-05:00

My Lap Lady has been rude to me with her lap. She pushes me aside when Latte is in her lap and I bite him for lap space. I know he's my brother and I love him lots but when he's sick I just don't know what to do for him so I kind of leave him alone.

In Kaze news (which I know you all want or you wouldn't come here) I have been meezing up a storm!!! Sure the cell phone now meezes my meeze but my Tall Man has been playing with me so much that now any time he gets up of the couch I run to the toy closet and yell. LOUDLY!! The Tall Man and I have really been bonding a lot. He's fun but he's not my Lap lady.

Mao is home!!!!!!!!! I am so happy!!

But now Latte is sick. The LL has to worry about getting Latte to the VET so she can't really help me or Chase blog until later tomorrow.

Mao Come Home!!!!!!!!!!!

Please come home my sweet Valentine. I've been snuggling to your valentine all night long meezing for you (really, I did!). Even my Tall Man is seriously worried for you. Come Home!
(This is the Valentine he made me last year. He's such a sweetie)

Frootbat Friday & Special Awards

2008-01-11T08:58:00.000-05:00

My LL can not find a ringer noise that she wants on her phone. She was talking to the Tall Man and was saying how she would like my meeze as her ringer. He said they could work on recording it and making it as her ringer. I would like that very much because I could meeze at my LL all day long! I could call her at the day hunting place and tell her what I want! I think its a fabulous idea!!!***Update****After oh....6 hours of messing with iTunes (she has an iPhone which is HIGHLY restrictive) she finally got my meeze as her ringer!! Its great. Its from when I was going to the vet so I'm really hissed off. Yeah!!!

Luxor bestowed upon me the Jewel in the Crown award made by Yao-Lin. I found this very touching! I would like to pass it along to Merlin who has to be my long lost brother. It makes me so happy to have another trash-picking friend! Anyone who can find a jewel in the trash is a jewel in my crown!

Storm gave me the You Make My Day award! I would like to pass this one on to Isis. She is so cute and she's going to have her won 'ickle baby kittens soon!!!

Prinnie just gave me the So Special Award! She thinks I'm very special and that makes me feel special. Here is what she said about me:

I would like to give this awardie to Kaze, because she reminds me of myself when I was a young girl. Very smart... very intelligent, certainly the most intelligent feline in the house, and always quite busy and alert!

I want to pass this very special award to Titus. Yes I know he's a woofie. But he's a super duper special woofie and he's a frootbat. If I could live with a woofie like him I think we'd have a blast together.
