Fat Friday?

I had to go to the V-E-T last weekend for a couple of shots. I was worried because Jen kept saying that it looked like I had gained weight. I was becoming concerned because this could impact my status in the lovely Chilli's Silky and Slender Crew. The first thing the V-E-T said when he saw me was "did he fill out some?" Oh no, I thought, time for a diet. And then they weighed me. I only gained one ounce. Turns out the fur on my belly is getting pretty long and makes me look chubby. Great.

Now, I am going to be paranoid when the flashy box comes out. Do you think this picture makes my tail look fat?

Mancat (In Training) Monday: What Are You Lookin' At?

Hey you, down there! Go get me some tuna flakes!

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

My humans are stupid. That's the only way to explain what happened on Friday night. I have been very jealous of all you lucky cats who get to go outside. I follow the humans down the stairs trying to escape into the great outdoors. So, they bought me a leash and harness and decide to give it a whirl. They take me to Frank's parent's house because they have a big yard and a deck. Sounds great right? The morons weren't thinking about the fact that other than the big yard, green grass and nice deck, there are also three dogs. Dogs I know, but am a little skittish around. In their excitement to get me outside they put me in the harness, hook up the leash and take me out on the deck. All is well for about four seconds and then boom, dogs get a whiff of little ole me and come running up to see. All of a sudden I turn into something other than myself. I turn into this...

I was a whirlwind of claws and teeth and a real hissing machine. Impressive for someone who never hisses huh? The dogs backed off, most of the humans were frozen in shock. Frank was the one who took action and grabbed me up trying to get me inside. I ripped him apart. Blood ran down in arm in streams and dipped onto the floor inside. I ran down into the basement and hid. It took over a half hour to get me out. Jen was crying, Frank was bleeding and I was pissed. How dumb can they be? Oh sure, they meant well, but couldn't they have given it a little more thought?

It's a Beautiful Day in My Neighborhood

And I'm going to spend it watching squirrels and birds. I even heard a rumor that there is a groundhog around here somewhere. I won't believe it until I see it though! There are a couple of kitties that live across from me. We can see each other if we all sit in the windows. They don't seem very neighborly though!

Mancat (In Training) Monday

Do I look like I care if I'm squishing the bread?

Why would you put a basket out if you didn't want me to get in it?

Sock It To Me

I kept asking Jen to send in a picture for Sock It To Me Sunday. She promised she would and then she forgot until after the deadline had passed. Lazy human. So today, in honor of my friend Cory, I'm posting the picture I would have submitted if I had a useful human. This one's for you Cory!

Where Else Would a Fish Be?

Jen went to check my food and water the other day and what did she find? One of my fish toys...floating in my water bowl. This is the second time I have put my fish toys in the water. I never put any other toys in there, afterall, mice don't belong in water...only fish!
