Mancat Monday

the time warp edition

Yesterday afternoon momma went out on a TNR mission*.  She didn't get back until late.  Like, 7PM late.  She apologized to us for our dinner being late, but honestly, we thought she was right on time.

This morning though, Momma made us get up at 2:30 (!!).  She said that according to the clocks it was our usual time.  At any rate, we got our breakfast an hour early, so that was ok.  (And we could go back to sleep while Momma went to work.  tee hee!

 

Momma was kinda late again tonight, or so she says.  She got us our dinners straight away.  But really, she was feeding us an hour early.

What's going on?

*yes, she got her cat and he will be tutored and released!

Mancat and Minnie Monday

 

 

 

My hidey-hole seems to be defective...

Mancat Monday

Hullo!

I'm not sure what I am doing here in the baffroom sink.  Somehow I just found myself here.

 

Last month was my and Ditto's birfday.  Would you believe we are four now?  FOUR!

Even more impawtant, two weeks ago now was Sharpie Day, my rescue/gotcha-versary!  If not for that day, my birfdays would be moot.  I've been here for four years now!  FOUR!

But you know what?  I had to spend Sharpie Day at camp!  And momma didn't even tell the camp counselors so they could make a fuss over me.  Ditto and Lilly were with me, so when momma picked us up, the three of us told her off all the way home.  tee hee!

 

oh, and I've been sufficiently spoiled always since.

tee hee!

What in the world?

It's momma's view when I sit on her chest as she tries to watch watches stuff on the computer.

tee hee!

She says I have nice smelling furs.

Mancat Monday

On Friday, Momma had been walking through her stinky squash plants at her workplace.

 

When she came home, I could not get enough of her shoes!

To me, at least, this was better than nip!

 

Even after she moved her shoes to their usual place by the front door, I was back for more!

Ditto, you don't know what you're missing!

Mancat Monday

The ice cream edition.

We are having a bit of a heat wave here.  All this week the temps will be over 100 squillion degrees Fahrenheit.  Momma stopped at the store on her way home and got some ice scream.

 

Ditto

That was her dinner.  tee hee!

She let me try some.  I got to lick the stick!

But you know what, I didn't really like it.  Momma was expecting to be attacked like we do when she eats yogurt.  tee hee!  I would rather have the yogurt.

Momma called for Sharpie too, so he could try it.  She had to call and call...

 

Sharpie

I was busy in my shopping bag!

I sniffed at the ice scream that was left on the stick and said no thanks!

If you've gotten to try ice cream, do you like it?

Mancat Monday

Hullo!

Huh-lo!

 

Us Mancats and Lilly were packed off to camp for Caturday night.  Apparently there were firework boomies happening in our town and Momma says it is better for us if we aren't here.  She says camp is the lesser of the two evils, though WE aren't completely convinced.  What with having to go in our ptu's and the squillion hour long car ride... 

Lilly fought the good fight and made Momma work hard to catch her and get her in her ptu.  tee hee!  She found a great hiding spot behind stuff atop the kitchen cabinets.  She almost had Momma fooled into thinking she disappeared!  Momma was determined because Lilly is the one who would especially be freaked out if she stayed.

You may not believe this but we aren't just a couple of handsome faces.  We do our fair share around here and while we were gone there wasn't anybuddy to clean up the food dishes!

 

Just look at the state of things!

 

But now...

 

We got this!

 

tee hee!

Mancat Monday

huh-lo!

This is Ditto.

I'm just helpin Momma with her codeword puzzle.

It's a good thing too.  At first, she thought "y" should be for the number 18.

I had to set her straight.

tee hee!

 

oh, and Momma?  The number 8 is supposed to be "p"

Mancat Christmas Eve Monday

Hullo!

Ditto and I were helping Momma this morning with her codeword puzzle.

You know, being the sweet and helpful kitties that we are all year long.

There is only one more sleep until Christmas!  We get to put the last ornament on our advent tree and then tomorrow we put the star at the tippy top.

It is a bit cold and cloudy here today.  Momma is going to go check on our feral family and then brave the store to get her Christmas pizza dinner.  tee hee!  I think I'm just gonna take it easy here.

Momma says that is a pretty good idea.

I'm not sure what she is getting at...

Mancat Monday

Momma went shoppping the other week.
Would you lookit what she brought home!

We really didn't need any Sharpie (tee hee), and since I was able to find the receipt, I returned him!

(tee hee!)

But then on Caturday, this box arrived to our door...

 It was worth a shot...

Mancat Monday

Huh-lo.

This is me, Ditto, yesterday, making the most of my Easy half-Sunday.

 

See, Momma packed Sharpie, Lilly, and me off for an overnight stay at camp on Caturday.  Our town was having their silly Pioneer Day Wriggley Day celebrations complete with firework boomies again.  Wriggley's birfday isn't until Thursday but I guess the first weekend in June is close enough for them.  We all got back home on Easy Sunday afternoon.

The camp counselors always give us a report card.  Do you see them here?

 

Ok, so it's mostly for Momma so she knows how we did and not to believe anything we say.  tee hee!  Of course we all got good marks for our behavior.  We had to eat the camp food and Sharpie and Lilly only grazed, but I ate everything!  I did not want to be poor guest, after all.  tee hee!

Well, Sharpie got another report from Momma added to his card after we got home.  He was very hissy at me and Lilly and even smacked at me!  Do you believe it?  He got a time out and then we all got some treats together.  Now that we have all settled back in, everything is back to normal and we are all getting on.  Not that we'd ever say, but maybe we were just workin Momma over for the treats...

tee hee!

Mancat Monday

Hullo!

In case you don't remember me, it's Sharpie!

 

This was me yesterday on Easy Momma's Day Sunday sucking up to Momma giving momma some cuddle time on her special day. 

tee hee!

Earlier she had gone out to do some shopping.  When she got home, she opened a box of her treats.  I lulled Momma into a false sense of security as she left the box out and I ignored it.  But then I decided to help myself to one.

I led Momma on a merry chase through the house I tried to find a quiet spot to enjoy my treat.  Under the bed?  Nope, Momma could still poke at me.  Even Ditto wanted some.  Get your own!  I couldn't even find peace under the couch.

Momma thought I'd trade her for some of our favorite treats: freeze dried mussels - we usually attack her when she gets them out.  As soon as she had the package, well, Ditto attacked her.  tee hee!  Momma shut him away and tried again with the trade, but I was not going to give up my treat of rice and marshmallowy krispy goodness!

 

In the end Momma finally tackled me and ripped my snack out of my mouth I decided I'd settle for some regular kitty treats.

So here I am, hanging out with Momma, you know, just to show her there are no hard feelings, I'm sorry if I might've chomped on her in the melee I forgive her for stealing my special treat.

tee hee!

Mancat Monday

Hullo!

Momma thought I, Sharpie, was a bit strange for sitting here on the edge of the cat tree-top.

I told her I was practicin my balance, where I'd have a net, so to speak.

 

I have to be ready, so at a moment's notice I can spring into action...

 

as Danger Cat!

  

Don't worry, no Sharpie broke his head in the making of this post. 

tee hee!

Mancat Monday

Huh-lo.

It's Ditto!

Oh sure, you might think I'm just taking it easy under here.

But I've got my eye on you.

Tee hee!

Mancat Monday

I'm all set to do some on-line shoppin!

I've got Momma's little case with her plastic monies...

Treats, here we come!

Erm...there's just one problem.

Momma is right there behind me...

Mancat Monday

It's the first day of 2018 and it's a Mancat Monday at that!

Happy New Year, everybuddy!

This was actually us yesterday on Easy New Year's Eve Sunday.  We were practicin how we'd be ringing in the new year...with our eyes closed.  tee hee!

 

We're excited to see what will be in store for this new year.  Our momma has some silly ideas to do more stuffs and be more active.  We don't really go in for that resolution business, though like every year we plan on causing plenty of trouble having lots of fun.  tee hee!

Well, besides today being the first Mancat Monday, it was only fitting that the first picture from the pawparazzi for 2018 was...

 

 me!  Sharpie!

 

Awww, hang on...they might have caught me while I was grinding my teefs...

I'll spare you the second picture of 2018 and just say that the third time's the charm!

Our wish for everybuddy is for a most pawsome 2018!  May it be safe, full of good health, happiness, fun, and many blessings.

Happy Eclipse Day, ev'rybuddy!

Our momma had the chance to take the day off special.

Momma never got any special eclipse glasses (or a welding helmet, tee hee) so this morning we helped her make a viewing box.

"I dunno, Ditto, I think she needs a longer box..."

Thankfully, for her sake at least, she listened to us and made a second box that was longer so her image of the sun would be bigger.  Still...

 

So that is what she saw.  The top row is the start, the middle four pictures on my left and right are the peak (supposedly we got around 76% where we are) and the bottom row is the end.

"It's getting dark out there!"

It did get kinda dark in the house.  For all we knew it was just clouds.  We don't get what the fuss was about.

 "ho hum!"

"ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz"
