Remembering Texas

Texas' gotcha day was Halloween. Mom has been taking extra classes this semester- she says she won't ever try that again- and didn't even have time to post about it til now.

Those of you who have been reading our blog for a while have seen these pictures many times, but these are some of Mom and Dad's favorites of him.

It's MAI Gotcha Day!!

2 Years Ago Today was a much happier aniversary. Mom and Dad got ME!! They got a Niko Kitty!! My sisfur came home a week later, so we are going to have a shared Gotcha Day party then! Please come bisit us next week! Purrs!! In the meantime, please be capturevated by some of my gotcha day pictors!

Sunflowers or Son-cats?

Mom doesn't take as many pictors of us as she used to. She says we "just look the same and do the same stuff". Instead, she takes pictors of things like THIS, where her and Daddy went yesterday. They also went to a park before that. Come on now, what is cooler looking...THIS...
or THIS:

She has agreed to start taking pictures of us again, at least a little bit. This pictor convinced her...

2 years already

We miss you, Big Guy!
Love always,
Mom and Dad

Goodbye, Dear Luxor and Sweet Eric

Luxor and Fat Eric were two of our furrst blogging furriends, they also were friends with our big brother that came before, Texas.
Our Mommy is crying, but she is sure Texas, Luxor, and Eric are playing together at the bridge with all the other blogosphere kitties.

What's this thing called a Furminator?

So Mom has been talking to Dad about how much shedding we've been doing lately. They have been talking about getting us a Furminator.
But Mom says they cost a lot more green papers than a regular brush or comb, but it just looks mostly like a normal cat brush/comb to her. She wants to know if it's really worth the extra 20 green papers or more or if anyone knows how to get one cheaper?

WE want to know if we will mind this thing. We don't mind normal brushes and combs, we like those!

Thanks to all our friends for any advice!

Purrs and headbutts,
Niko and Cloud

Dad is EVIL!!

Hey guys..here is me and Dad having some fun with Dad's hat.
Well, Dad was having fun! See his RED EYES! He's TORTURING me with the HAT! OH NOS!!!
Meow for now!

Welcome to our 2nd Purrthday Party!

Thanks everyone for coming to our 2nd Purrthday Party!


We have niptinis for the adult kitties and milk for the kittens. And we have salmon, chicken, and HAM for everyone! PURRRRRR
Mom promises to post a picture of our new toy ASAP! Let's see how long it takes her MOL!

Our 2nd Purrfday is tomorrow? Really?!

Wow..and we were wondering why Mom brought home the new scratchy post the other day! (We knew it had nothing to do with all the red marks on Mom and Dad's arms from when we play too rough, could it?!).
We are sorry we haven't been around much, but we'd love it if you came to our party tomorrow.
Mom wants you all to know that we do still visit your blogs often in our feed reader, but we rarely have time to comment anymore.
Purrs,
Niko and Cloud

Happy Purrthday Dad!

Happy Purrthday Dad!


Love,
All of your cats

Telescope bag?

Mom got a new telescope a month ago. Dad made her a carrying case for the telescope out of some dark blue blanket-like material. Wonder where it is? Oh..I see a bird outside!!
Purrs,
Cloud

My bucket

Niko here. I just wanted to show you the new toy I found!

Today

Our Mom is a squillion years old today!!! If she was a cat she'd be like 130!!
Oh well, at least she's not like our dad, who will be a squillion PLUS FOUR years old in almost two weeks! (Dad is four years older than mom)

Sorry we haven't posted much and sorry we don't comment much anymore. Mom goes to college and works, so sometimes she doesn't have much time to help us blog. But she makes sure to help us read all your blogs! This blog is DEFINITELY NOT going completely inactive but posts will probably continue to be spurr-attic except for over the summers. Mom will be getting her 2 year degree soon, but then she is going to a new school soon to get her Bat-furs degree.

Flashy Box not welcome

Remove Flashy Box now or I will punch you, Mom!

Cat TV

Hmm, let's see if there's anything good on today...

Cloud wins the gold!!!

Don't forget to scroll down or check our sidebar to find out how to enter our High Jump Contest!!

Niko:
Cloud won a gold medal. But she got in trubble for it.
See, it wasn't in one of the official cat-o-lympics entries. She made her own category. And Dad found out. He awarded her a gold medal. But then he said a few bad words.
See, the category she made was "Whapping things off the table".
And she whapped a cup of water off the table. Made a BIG mess. She's done this before too. It frustrates the beans.

Cloud:
How could anyone be fwustated at me???

Our Synchronized Snoozing Entry

Don't forget to scroll down to find out how to enter our High Jump Contest!! And yes, you can enter it by video!!

Here is our synchronized snoozing entry, for the Cat Olympics event.

Cat-Olympics: High Jump

Hey, everycat! Fin is hosting Cat Olympics!! We will be hosting the High Jump event.
All you have to do is post a picture of you jumping high on your blog (or if you don't have a blog, you can email us your entry to catsinmd at gmail dot com, but we prefer blog entries) and then put your link in the comments for this post.
Rules:
1. Provide a picture or video of you jumping high. If you want to be judged simply on how high you jumped, you should also if possible provide a second picture of the area with a yardstick or something in the shot so we can have some point of reference.
2. There will be two competition categories: technical high jump and artistic high jump. Technical high jump is just on how high you went. Artistic gets points for a mix of height and creativeness of the jump (where you are when you jump, silly expressions on your face, silly paw movement, etc).
3. No photoshopping except cropping and basic cleanup.
That's it. As many cats per household as want to can enter! Contest ends whenever the main catolympics ends!
(This post will be updated with sample photos as soon as catmanly possible)

Two-Cat Tuesday

Niko: My sisfur Cloud loves to lay on the radiator in the winter. Well, it only took the beans a year to figure out maybe I would enjoy it to, but I just can't jump well enough to get there. So they picked me up and put me on the radiator, and just look. Why do beans take so long to figure things out sometimes?

Spy cat in training...

Niko: So, I wanted to be like Harley and be a spycat.
So, the important part is to blend in with your surroundings.

Hmm...


How did I do?

The Other Woman

This is Sharbat. She is our Daddy's Brother's Wife's Mother's kitty (say that 10 times fast!! But we will just call Sharbat's mom Mrs. B.). Our Beans went to visit Mrs. B and the rest of Daddy's and Daddy's brother's families for Chrismouse and we are just NOW getting time to post that we were furry upset that Mom and Dad were spending so much time with Sharbat. Hmph! But we suppose she is a very pretty kitty....

We didn't do it

That's our story and we're stickin' to it.
