Mancat Monday

I like to put the bitey on my brother, Cash. I show him who is the boss around here!

Cash wanted to order pizza but I wasn't interested.

Mancat Monday: Cousin Alfred & Cousin Wick

That's our North Carolina cousins, Wick & Alfred. This probably could have been an easy Sunday picture, but since it has been a rainy Monday in Louisville, KY, we thought this would be an appropriate way to spend it! They sure look comfortable!!!

Mancat Monday: Dante

We have friends all over the world, so today we are going to introduce you to Dante. Dante's momma, Carrie-Anne, is a good friend of our mom's. We know we we never meet Dante in catson (that's like "in person" for cats!) but mom says one day she will make it to England. She hopes she'll get to meet Dante then. Carrie-Anne is a HUGE fan of Alice Cooper, just like our mom. That's how they know each other. Carrie-Ann has been to the USA lots of times and mom gets to see her every December in Phoenix, AZ.

So without further ado, here is the very handsome Dante:

Mancat Monday: The Old Spice Cat

I think mom has helped me post this picture before. She did the caption on I Can Has Cheezburger. She said I had the right cattitude for the caption!

We spent the weekend with mom while she watched basketball. Her exact words now are "my brackets are screwed". She does have the University of Kentucky winning the championship.

We had a lot of window whiffie time during the day on Saturday. Then the storms came with lots of boomers and lightening and mom shut the windows. She had to turn on the a/c yesterday because it was just getting to darn warm. It's hard to believe it's mid-March and we are already having some mild hots.

Hope you kitties have a great Monday!!!

Mancat Monday: Joey

We would like to introduce you to our friend, Joey. Joey lives in Delaware with a friend of our mom's. He has a sister named Josey. They are known collectively as "The Jos". Joey's nicknames are "Jo-Bean" or "The Bean". We can't remember how old Joey is, but we are pretty sure he is under 5 years old. We think Joey is a very handsome mancat.

Mancat Monday: Memphis

Memphis Meezer here. I get to take charge of this week's Mancat Monday, just like I took charge of mom's bed last night. You see, I rarely sleep with mom at night. I will nap on her bed with my furblings. But when it is time for mom to go to bed I will usually leave. I'll go sleep with my uncle in his room. I return to mom's room in the morning because I know she will be getting up and she is our morning food source!

Well, last night I was curled up and snug right in front of her main pillow. I refused to budge! Mom got in bed and tucked me in next to her. She never expected me to stay! I surprised her and slept with her all night long. She woke up several times during the night and found me still sleeping right beside her. I was still there when she woke up at 6:30 this morning.

Now she is wondering what my uncle did to cause me to stay with her last night! He didn't do anything! I'm just changing the routine for now!

Mancat Monday: Vet Reports on Fred and Memphis

Sorry we have been M.I.A. again. Between mom's job and her gallavanting around Ohio to see Alice Cooper, we haven't gotten any computer time.

Fred had his vet appointment on August 6th. Mom noticed that he had lost weight. In the past year he has dropped 4 pounds! He went from 11 lbs. to 7 lbs. and is too skinny. One look at his gums and the vet said his gingivitis was back and his mouth was probably sore. Fred has some type of gingivitis that is chronic. Eventually he will probably lose his teeth. The vet put him on an antibiotic and told mom to feed him canned food to fatten him up. As a precautionary thing, Fred also had blood drawn for lab work. The results came back showing that Fred's creatin levels were elevated. The vet recommend canned K/D food. Fred ate it up at first, but now he totally snubs it. Mom has tried mixing the Fancy Feast with it but he refuses it. For the time being, Fred is getting regular canned food so he'll gain some weight. He was weighed on Saturday and had gained 5 ozs. Fred also got his rabies vaccine that day.

Memphis had his vet visit on August 20th. He weighed in at a healthy 11 lbs. 14 ozs. He has a touch of gingivitis around his back teeth, on one side only. Memphis was due for his rabies and distemper vaccines. Once Memphis was home, he hid until early this morning! Our uncle said he woke up around 3am and Memphis was in bed with him. Mom thinks Memphis probably felt a little puny after his vaccines. Or maybe he was just sulking. He is a MEEZER, you know!!!

That's about it for now! Happy Monday everyone!

Mancat Monday: Spunky

We are going to have a long run of the HOTS this week. The humidity levels are high and mom said it feels like she is walking through soup when she steps outside. We had two rain showers come through yesterday. But instead of cooling things down the rain only made the air feel more heavy and sticky.

Spunky is giving us a big yawn and going back to sleep in the air conditioned comfort of our home!!!

Mancat Monday: Sable The Punk

Mom took some new pictures of us last week. I was sitting on the breakfast bar when she took this one of me.

We hope everyone had a great weekend. It turned cold and rainy here. We want our warm spring back!

Purrs,
Sable

Mancat Monday: King Alfred in North Carolina

We would like to introduce our brand new cousin who lives in North Carolina (with Wick and Gracie). His name is King Alfred, but you can call him Alfred. Mom says she is going to call him Squishy.

Alfred moved in with our Aunt Torchy on Saturday. Mom talked to her yesterday and Torchy said Alfred has already made himself at home. He is already sleeping with her at night, he purrs all the time and likes tummy rubs. Gracie is smitten with him, but Wick still isn't too sure.

Here is another picture of Alfred when he was still living at the shelter. That's Aunt Torchy holding him. That was the day she fell in love with him back in March.

Alfred is still young. He is between 12-18 months old and still has some growing to do. We are so happy he found his forever home with our Aunt Torchy. And mom said she is excited about meeting him whenever she goes for another visit.

Mancat Monday: Wick in North Carolina

This is our friend, Wick. Wick lives with our Aunt Torchy in North Carolina. He is five years old. We may have mentioned that Wick has two nicknames. His first nickname is "Chicken of the Sea" because he is a bit skittish. His second nickname is "Lunchbox" because he is a big kitty!

We hope he was enjoying his nap. It doesn't look like the flashy box bothered him at all!

Mancat Monday: Spunky

Mom woke me up taking pictures with the flashy box. Can't a cat get any undisturbed sleep around this joint?

Mancat Monday: Two for the Price of One

One day mom walked into her bedroom with the flashy box. She knew she could always get a cute picture of some of us cats sleeping on her bed. Little did she know:

"Move along. There's nothing to see here," said Sable.

Yeppers! There he was, Sable the Punk, laying on this back with who knows what showing to the world! And who does she find sleeping next to him? Bandit, our Frito Bandito!

Mancat Monday - Bandit

This is one of my brofurs. His name is Bandit. He likes to be skrtiched when he's laying on the cat tree and he will cry for attention like a big baby! But he doesn't like to be picked up and cuddled. The only time he'll stay in mom's lap is when he has to go to the v-e-t. Then he'll lay in mom's lap and try to hide his face in her armpit. He's so silly sometimes. But we all love him. Bandit came to live with us in October 2006 when he was about 8 months old.

Mancat Monday - Batman

This handsome mancat is my brofur, Batman. He loves his vanilla ice cream and he had just finished having some when mom took this picture. He also likes to help mom knit and lay on whatever she is working on. Batman will be 6 years old this year, although he will have been in our house a year in June.
