The tortures I endure

Yeah so she left me at 3pm and by 6:30 I had still not peed out my sub-q fluids. I was getting pretty ticked off and the urge to pee was getting really strong. The Lap Lady was nowhere to be seen and I was worried I'd be stuck there all night long. Suddenly, my savior, my hero, my Tall Man showed up to bring me home!! He was going to demand to take me home even if I didn't pee because he didn't want the LL to be mad (she had said no way was I to stay there over night just to wait for me to pee). Since I heard his voice I let the pee go so now they can test it and tell us about it tomorrow.

The doctor things it is probably just a UTInfection but she's smart to test the pee. I'm resting comfortably on my favorite place- the Lap Lady's lap and I am happy to report I can sleep in my own bed tonight with the LL.

Thank you all for purring for me! I was SOOOOO askeered and SOOOOO angry. The LL was illegally texting the TM during her class but she had to know about me. On her 10 minute break in class the TM called her after just picking me up and before she heard his voice she heard mine in the background and that made her very very happy. Then she just about passed out from exhaustion in her class that ends at 10pm.

You know what Latte did while I was gone? Uter betrayal. He claimed MY Lap Lady's lap!! Seriously, he didn't care I was gone- he just claimed her form himself. RUDE.

The iPhone 3G S finally benefits us!

Wordless Wednesday

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.

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.

Tortured

The weekend was just plain torture. The fev-vers are migrating and we had a flock of robins and starlings taking furlough in our ginormous holly bushes next to the house. They chitted and chirped and just taunted us with their fluttering wings. Chase sat on the kitchen table and watched them poo on the deck. Latte claimed they were not interesting enough for him. Me? I sat here all weekend and watched. And waited. And prayed one would come through the window.



All I got was a furmination on the back deck. However, this did afford me the opportunity to get closer to them and meezer in their general direction. They were quiet when they heard the mighty Kaze-hunter. Oh yes, they lived in fear I tell you! I continue to lie in wait...

Ode to my Tail
by Kaze the Cat

I shall hug you tight,

And lick you with all my might!

Though sometimes, we may fight

Whenever we meet in the sun-light,

I know I'll never let you leave my sight!

Our 200th post on our collaberative blog! That's pretty impressive if you ask me, we're such very different cats and we can share together!

I miss my Lap Lady sooooo much! I know she's up there freezing her butt off and going fast down the mountain having fun....but do you think she's thinking of me at all? I mean, I look everywhere for her. Gamma is playing with me and snuggling but its not my Lap Lady. I think humans should be banned from ever going away.

Some might think that because of my size I am a weakling. I am NOT a weakling, I am in fact freakishly strong. First of all, I can hold my own in a play-fight with Chase- I can even kind-of-sort-of take him down....well, at least I imagine I can. From leaping so high I have very strong legs and can leap fast and far! But the strongest thing about me is my head and neck.

I can shove my head into the Lap Lady so hard I litterally push her over and bruise her! Its true!! I do this when I want to crawl in her sweater. I dig-dig at her side and then put my snout in the button holes. Once I've got my shout in there I shove forward and upward with all my might. The Lap Lady says its like I'm punching her! I just want to be closer to her and inside her warm sweater.....

Just the Two of Us

I love my Latte sooo much. I don't really sleep alone all that much and he's always there for me. If he can't find me he gets frantic and screams until we are reunited. He's gentle when he licks me, and tough when we play tag. He may try to squash me every night when I'm under the covers, but he'll just as nicely share the Lap Lady's lap during TV time. I'm a tough girl and very demanding of play time and he takes turns while we hunt toys like the whirly-bird. Latte may not be my blood brother but you'd can't convince me he's any less my sibling.

I am going to enter Latte in the Best Fursibling Contest. We nominated Chase last year but this year I think the Sugar Bear needs his turn. Have you entered your siblings?

Today the Tall Man is helping me blog which has never happened before! He wanted me to pose a question to all of you.

What should I do when the Tall Man purposely tempts me with shiny crinkly objects, the same objects, I might add, he specifically yells at me for stealing on other days? At this point he's shoved the shiny wrapper in the couch so I can put my paws on it but every time I touch it it goes further into the cushion. Now he's moved on to a crinkle here...a crinkle there....he's driving me INSANE. He claims he's making me a smarter cat.

A. Should I be enticed to find and play with said object?

B. Should I just yell at him and make him feel horrible as he continues to question me with "What's the matter Kaze? Is there something you want?" in that high pitched condescending voice?

C. Do nothing, pretend to ignore him, and then later in the day fart on his pillow with my tail outstreatched so my spot #13 is where he puts his face?

D. All of the above. My Lap Lady tells me she'd even help me with all endeavors since I can't steal it right under his smirky face.

Happy Birthday to Kaze!!

Look at what my friends at the Poupounette gave me for my birthday! Its my name in Japanese!

On New Years Day 3 years ago I was brought into the world with my brothers and sisters.

At first my frootbat ears were pretty tiny. That didn't last too long.

I was quite the frootbat even back then!


I loved my family very very much. My mother is a Chestnut and I look just like my Daddy.


At my breeders house we were refered to as Gremlins because of how we look and how we act. I was supposed to go live with one of my brothers but that didn't work out and I ended up with my Lap Lady instead. This was my first day in my new home.

And here I am today at 3!

Twosome Tuesday

We're starting to get into the holiday spirit. As you can see I have my special holiday collar on and we're in front of the tree with the special water at the base. I LOVE pine water its so tasty and good.

I was a bad girl yesterday. I saw that Santa Paws came early to our house and put a new wand toy in my stocking!! I was good for a week but then I could not resist. I jumped up and pulled the whole stocking down. I knew it was bad though and Santa Paws would not be proud so I just walked away and didn't take the toy with me. The Lap Lady says I have to be really good until Christmas now or else I might not get anything special!!

Toesday

Kaze's "Petal-Paws"

Frootbat Friday

What a fast week this has been! The Lap Lady has been wrapping presents which is awesome for me because that means bows and ribbons! Every night I make sure to choose my favorite and play with it all night long. Then in the morning the LL comes down to find my toy and gets mad and steals it from me and says I'm "ruining" her pretty packages. This makes no sense to me because they are ribbons and bows=cat toys, right? I mean, I'm not crazy here am I?? My Auntie K will understand why her present doesn't have a bow on it.

Frootbat Freaked Out Friday

Tomorrow is the day. The day of the LSAT. She is taking the train into Rutgers Camden in the morning at 7:30am. The Lap Lady is freaking out a "tad" and I just keep trying to purr on her, well when I'm not in the heatbox. She stayed home to study today but I'm not sure how she thinks more info is going to get crammed into her brain. I think it might explode if she tries to put more in there. She takes breaks to clean the house for after the test.

The Lap Lady says after the test she has a surprise for us! We are getting some visitors, one of whom is also taking that evil LSAT on the same day. Apparently they're coming to visit us more than the humans. Its supposed to be a celebratory weekend so I can't wait to play!!!

Can you guess who is coming to visit? I'll give you a hint, certain cats you know will be without their humans for the weekend. We can't wait! We've never met other blogging kitties humans before.

You know what freaks me out? When the Lap Lady cooks/bakes stuff. I won't go in the kitchen because its really freaky to me. Usually I'm her shadow but not when she's pacing around and mixing stuff and saying bad words. I do not like that.

I thought holiday weekends meant lots of time with the humans? Why are mine never around?

Twosome Tuesday

Do you see Latte in MY heatbox? Can you believe that he pushes me out of my spot? Now that its freezing outside I spend every moment the hot air is blowing in the heatbox. Even if I'm snuggling or playing- if I hear the hot air start blowing I run for the heatbox. This year Latte has figured out that the heatbox is the best thing in the house. He comes in and pushes me out. I'm not so sure why he thinks he deserves to enjoy my heatbox.

Dear Beloved Lap Lady,

I'm on to you. I know that you aren't just trying to give me and Latte treats. You're going to shove icky liquid in our mouths and then rub goo on our gums. Latte might love Temptations enough not to care but I would much rather not have such atrocities committed against my mouth. Have you tried to eat a treat after you've had such offensive stuff on your palet? I didn't think so.

Therefore effective immediately I will not come to you when you want me to. In fact I will run away when I see the syringe in your hand. Oh, and if you start to feel guilty and try to hunt me down "just" to give me treats, I won't eat them. Nope, you should feel horrible for this crime. I'm considering filing an animal cruelty suit against you.

In all seriousness,

Princess Kah-zee-zee Bumble-Stumps III

P.S. This does not affect snuggle time in any way. You shall make your armpit available to me for my comfort every night.

P.P.S You're all purring for Percy right?

Toesday

Aren't my clawrs fierce?? See how I terrify Latte with them? They've been clipped and I was actually a good girl for once. I purred the whole time and let the LL clip them alone. Usually its a group effort by whatever guest is in the house. The TM isn't too good at holding for clippy clawrs (he holds extra tight) so its generally when Gamma is around.

I've been a badbadbad girl and while I used to have perfect scratching tendencies I've started using the stairs. I need help with this compulsion as I can't stop on my own. Any ideas for how to make me stop before the Tall Man has a full blown freak-out on the situation?

***Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. I guess I should add that the humans very very rarely actually catch me doing it and if they do I take off right away because I know it is something I'm not supposed to do.***
