Frootbat Friday

 Did you miss my ginormous frootbats?  I know, they really are spectacularly huge.  Guess what, the Lap Lady just completed her last day of her first year of law school, she made it an entire year!  She has an exam left to go but she came home tonight, sat on the couch, and thought....hmmm....time to blog!  Yeah!!

The Tall Man turns 30 on Saturday and he is super displeased.  I hear we are having a party with all sorts of people coming over to visit and I'm not so sure how I feel about that.  We've never had a "party" here before.

Hopefully the Lap Lady will catch up on photos and then we can do some better blogging.  For now, we're all happy and healthy (and we don't consider ourself 'chattel' no matter what the LL says).

P.S. 
Hi everyone, Latte here!!  I've been working hard being SUPER CUTE and prepping for my wedding anniversary with Chey on the 5th (I know I'm a man but I didn't forget!!).  I have a favor to ask of you friends.  You know how my "special person" is my Auntie E?  Well Auntie E is going to have a Blurpy in September!!  She started a new blog to track her exploits and if anyone is interested she has caught the blogger bug and really wants some new friends.  Auntie E's Blog

Snagged....from the Tall Man

Can you believe the Tall Man actually takes more pictures of us these days? I was told I could do my Frootbat Friday but I had to also do a trio because none of us get much blogging time these days.

The Kaze update: I've decided to change my name to PLAY. That way, I can do what I love all of the time. My new bestest buddy is the Tall Man because he plays with me while the Lap Lady is trying to become a book. Though she did play fetch with me for 45 minutes the other morning after she got home from the gym. I have to find all of the snuggle time I can these days and Latte trys to steal it from me.

Latte update: I'm starved to death around here. STARVED. No one feeds me at all. It is also freezing cold and just down right unacceptable according to meezer standards. Ugh...and they touch me....shudder. The only thing I can't complain about is the brushings, those are good now that the Toy Man is in charge.

Chase: Not much to say, just look at my misery.....she's....touching me.

Frootbat Friday

I realized that you haven't seen my beautiful blue eyes recently enough. Here they are!! Along with my frooty ears. I've been velcroed to the Lap Lady as much as possible as this is her last week before she gets back into the law school stuff. I am so so so happy she comes home at lunch time now! She gives me yogurt and snuggles and it is a really nice break mid-day.

We are all behind the Lap Lady! We know you are all behind her too and that gives her such a wonderful feeling. She brings her meezer computer bag and thinks of all of the wonderful friends we have made over the years. Many have come and gone and we miss them so much sometimes. We might not be as visible as we once were but we are a member of the CB through and through!

Frootbat Friday and the otherss too

First we will start you off with your weekly dose of froot. I know, it has been a while for me but my frooty friends have been keeping up very well! That makes me very smiley.

This one is for Cheysuli, here's looking at you kitten!

Yeah I know, I promised a lot of Chase pictures. You know what happened? She came home and found that she really hasn't taken any in about a month. I really dislike her when she ceases to be useful to me. Disgraceful. Ugh, well here is at least one of me having fun!

Frootbat Friday

It is my new jellyfish!!! It has legs and is fun to play with. The LL is trying to upload some of her "new and improved" photos but she has to figure out the formatting on the Mac since she took them in RAW and she can't upload that straight to blogger, she has to go through the jpg step first (we think she's got it now).

Not too happy on Frootbat Friday

So yeah, that was probably the worst "adventure" I could have imagined!! First of all, the PTU was involved- in a major way- which I shall get to later. So I got in the black box w/ wheels. That sucked so I screamed at my Lap Lady with a tone of absolute annoyance the entire trip.

We ended up at the STABBY PLACE. I shall now not call it the VET because it is officially the STABBY PLACE. I did some trips between the LL's lap and the PTU while waiting so that was OKish and then everyone ooohed and awwed over me because they had never seen a cat like me.

At first all went pretty well, I even got a short temperature taking because I was being so good. The really nice VET lady said I'm very healthy and maybe next year I'll need a dental but I'm good otherwise.

Then came the STABBS. I don't get pokey things, I get these things called "titers" which are soooo much worse. They have to steal your blood for them. Well.....I am not letting them steal my blood!!!!! I made them hold me down and stabby at me for 10 whole minutes before they got enough blood. The Lap Lady held my front have, a tech held the back half, and another to take my blood. I purred the whole entire time but it was absoutely horrible. They said I have the veins of a snake!!! So I gotted stabbed numerous times in both back legs. You might think that is bad enough, but it gets much worse.

While the LL went to give them all of her green papers for torturing me she set me on the counter as she does to all of us when we go to pay. That way we're way up high from woofies and the ladies can oooh and awww over us. The LL stopped looking at me so I tried to make a break for home. I pushed the PTU over the counter and went THUD on the ground!!! The LL freaked out....like FREAKED. OUT. Luckily I was in there with my "kaze snuggle" from DKM so my fall was cushioned and it is a big PTU so I landed on my paws. After a full check over I finally got to go home.

I was shaking with anger through my meezes as we returned home. I had to enlist Latte's help to get the stank off of me. I'm traumitized. I need some nip!!!!!!

Box Day (with a frootbat twist)

As you may very well guess a trip to the archives was in order for our post today. We take you back in time to 2007!

Here we have some "sneaky froot". I'm sure he has no idea I'm here....

Lalalalalala.............BAM! Whack!! Whack!!!

Here we have proof that at one time the Economy was better not so long ago. This was for Christmas 2007. Wow. I can't believe how many boxes there were!!! Of course, the priceless meezer was not for gift giving. I could only be a Christmas kitten gift once after all.

Happy Box Day!

Frootbat Friday

Super Froot! There is a lot of buzz about how good super froot is for you and....well....here I am to save the day!!! I love to spread my wings and puuuuurrrrrr!



Bonus Meezer Colors belated picture: Meowmy's law school computer bag. She seems to think it may be pigeon holing her with her fellow students, but you know what? She's happier feeling close to us than caring about what they think. It has meezers all over it!!!


P.S. Today is 5 years since our humans tied the knot!

Frootbat Friday & Gifts!

Frootbat.....

Frootbatless!
What I'd look like with no ears.

Our friends in Denmark Cliff and Olivia took part in the Pay it Forward Fun and we were lucky enough to be one of their first posters so they sent us a package from far far away!

Here is what it is all about:
“The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and ‘pay it forward’ in their own way.

This is how it works…

We are going to agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to the first 3 blog owners who post a comment on this entry. In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to us, then send something to the first three people who sign up to play along through your blog.

There are no cost restraints, BUT don’t go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live?

And, remember that kindness doesn’t have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around.”

The Lap Lady's favorite part was the handmade card by their mom! We knew she was super talented with photography but her painting skills are superb!

My favorite part was this puzzle ball thingy. I can pick it up in my mouth AND bat it around. It's great!!
This is all of the loot!!! Can you believe it? There are so many fun toys and tasty treats....just so much fun. We will have to show you pictures of us playing when the LL gets out from under the casebook.
I was not so sure about the tasty treats....they smell interesting but I've never tried anything like them. We all really love international packages because there are so many cool things we never get to experience. My favorite part is the ping pong balls. They are light and roll around.
Wow, so much fun!! We plan on passing it along too to our first three friends who want to participate. It is amazing what a package can do to make us smile!

Frootbat Friday

We're all adjusting to the LL's new schedule as best we can. I have to tell you though, when she walked in tonight after riding Snap and buying food and she was wearing her sweatshirt.....I leapt right on her shoulders!!! My Lap Lady was herself, horse smells and all. The Tall Man tries to make it better by playing with me but I just miss her, you know? I don't like this law school thing one bit. Instead of smelling like a horse she smells like a train. Instead of snuggling in the couch hole she sits at the dining room table (in dim light) and types and reads her book.

As far as her legal education is going....well she's adjusting. However, she really does love the subject material!!!

Frootbat Friday

I would hope for a nice easy weekend but I can tell that is too much to ask for as those red boxes are out and stuffed with clothes. Sheesh, you here things like "long weekend" and you think there will be lots of snuggles and playing and quality time. Gamma will come over to play so that will be fun but I'll miss my Lap Lady, especially since she said she is going to the place where they got me from (Washington, DC). Have a great weekend everyone!

We've been hit by the IE "Followers" problem that Daisy let us know about. We moved it to the end of our blog for the time being and hopefully it clears up soon! And a hearty three cheers to Auntie Barb! We sure think what she did for Whitey is super special.

Frootbat Friday

What a bad week of blogging it has been! There has been lots of sitting on the Lap Lady and purring because she's been a bit stressed and Snap has been messing with her so I've been her special little Princess. Do you think that means I got play time??? Noooo (well OK, I did get a little). OK, I gotta go curl up in her lap again. Happy weekend!

Frootbat Friday

Are you going to the toy closet?? Are you?? Are you going to play with me?? Because I'll race you over there and then we can pick out the most fun toy!! Aww.....come on please? Please??????

Update: NO. My lazy humans did NOT play with me. I am accepting applications for humans who actually play. Pay will be in over-zealous and very liberal amounts of purring and lap snuggling.

Frootbat Friday

When I go Out of Doors I have to use my meezing as a sort of sonar to locate myself in relation to indoors (and where Latte is). When Latte goes outside I do my best "screamapillar" to get him to come inside. He never listens but the Tall Man thought I deserved a turn out there. You will notice that my mouth is almost never closed. That is because I take my screamapillar duties very seriously and announce every step so I don't get lost.

Frootbat Friday & Happy Birthday Tall Man

Happy 29th Birthday Tall Man!!! I love you very very very much. Thank you for playing and snuggling and petting and kissing and loving me so much.


The Tall Man is a bit off his rocker... Gamma and Gampa gave him a punchy bag thing for the dungeon. So he hung it from a rafter....and I swear he is trying to pull the house down when he uses it!!!!!! It came in an awesome box that we ALL enjoyed...including the Tall Man.

Frootbat Friday

Ah....sun.....Spring is here!!

I am one who feels all of my emotions deeply and completely.  I feel joy with all of my being, mischief through every whisker twitch, and fear when my ears go flat.  Even the Tall Man thinks I'm the most expressive creature he's ever met.  My philosophy in life is to feel everything and make no excuses.  I wear my heart on my stripey sleeves for all to see.

Frootbat Friday

I went on an Out of Doors adventure after I screamed at Latte for a long time. I don't have my own harness since I'm not a huge Out of Doors success story. I scream a lot out there. Anyhow, I thought this next picture really shows off my movement. I have a very interesting gait and have been told I look nothing like a cat when I'm walking around.
After sniffing around in the garden for a bit I walked down the side of the house and saw an EVIL SQUIRREL out in the open!! I crouched down flat and my body tensed like a spring....suddenly I....yelled at the squirrel at the top of my lungs. My LL calls me a hunting failure. Hey, I thought if I told it where to go it would just jump in my belly!

Frootbat Friday

You know I get a rather bad reputation regarding being "bad". I'm such a lover, I am always purring and rubbing on things. My favorite thing to rub on right now are things that my Lap Lady has worn. #1- shoes #2-bras. I find both of these to really have the essence of her so I rub all over them and purr so she won't forget about me when she is at the work place. I've also made sure she has a larger than life sized portrait of me hanging in her office.

Frootbat Friday

Sometimes I move so fast you can only make out streaks-o-Kaze. Most of the pictures taken of me while I'm playing are "trash" because I'm such a blur. You can see how intent I am on catching the toy, I have laser vision on my target while my body is moving super duper fast! I didn't catch it...the Tall Man is too good at playing and he always wins.

Frootbat Friday

I show very different faces from different angles.
