Meme Monday

We were tagged by our very nicest friends, Dragonheart and Mr.Chen and Ollie

Here are the rules:

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules
2. Write some facts about yourself: some random, some weird, some just plain fun.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them)
4. Let those 7 people know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

The challenge is to keep it interesting without making the reader think “Um, too much information…”

Caesar:
* Every time I use the litter box, I have to announce it to everyone, all over the house and very loudly!
* speaking of the litterbox, sometimes I am in a BIG hurry to get out of there.

* mommie often says there is more than one of me living in this house, because every room she walks into I am there either sleeping, or inspecting something.
* some of you already know this, I eat crunchies like a backhoe claw.
I open my mouth really wide and grab a huge mouth full, as much as I can get into my mouth, then move my head to the right and start chomping.
Usually several crunchies fall out of my mouth and go all over the floor. I never pick those up and eat them... that is what Prinnie is around for
* I am 16 years and 5 months old and I have lived in four houses. Three that daddie and mommie owned and one renting while second one was being built.
* I have not had any vaccinations since I was 4 years old, I am allergic to them We are indoor kitties and we have never been outside.

Princess:
* well, I am all white and I have pink paws and pink ears. OH and a pink nose.

* I am Caesar's littermate. I take care of him.
* I like getting subq flooids now. Mommie loves me.
* I eat my food very neat and tidy... but sometimes I gobble really fast. ...but neat and tidy.
* I love standing in the shower, just out of the spray area. It is really wonderful and then when I get out I am covered in water droplets. I love water.

* I am crazy about dripping water, and faucets. I love drinking from faucets, or just big pots of
just freshly poured from the tap water.
* EVERY evening at dinner time, I come downstairs and sit on my purple cushionie pad

and wait for "after dinner" (I do not wait quietly, actually I get very very impatient), then I help clean the dishes.
* I love Blizzie more than anything or anyone.
* I LOVE my bloo blankie very much. I need it at all times. When mommie has to wash it, I go completely crazy and cry a lot until it is back on the bed. I will not accept any substitues, no matter how soft or snuggly.

* we have our own room upstairs, with a queensize low bed and a nice radio playing classical music, two big sunny windows and several very nice pic-

Caesar: Prinnie, Only 7 things!!! Oh boy, you just went waaaay over...

Princess:
Okay. *sigh* Well, we are supposed to pick 7 kitties so here are the kitties we are picking to do this wonderful and fun meme:
We are trying to pick some kitties that we do not know every thing about:
#1 George
#2 LucyFurr
#3 Luna

Wat kornbred?

who me?
I don't know what you are talking about.

soooooo sorry
We did not visit many bloggies yesterday.
Mommie was busy and refused to help us. Then at one time, we woke up and Blizzie was home. What a surprise!
She was home for a while... and she gave us a lot of wunnerful pets.

Then she went away. I think she is gone now. we can't find her. Okay, maybe it was a dream...
It was a very nice dream meow *sigh*

Happy Thursday, yay!

WHAT! wait a minnnnute! There goes mommie.
Where are you going mommie?
She is SKATING today!
Hey! come back mommie *sigh*

The difference between try and triumph

9-11

Princess: Today is a special day.
We remember so many lives that were lost by the evil terrorists.
A dreadful day for many. Today they grieve afresh another year of a senseless loss.

Today is also my mombean and dadbeans 24th wedding anniversary. Wow, that is a long time...

You know what?
Our dadbean was at an important meeting inside the Pentagon on that morning of September 11, 2001. Then he left on a bus only minutes before that plane hit. Daddy told us in the morning that he was going to that important meeting and then he was going to come home early from work because it was a special day for him and mommie. We are very lucky to still have our daddie. He came home that day.

That was a very scary day for every one.

Today... we are just going to think about that. How lucky we are.

Remember that everyone you meet
is afraid of something, loves something and has lost something.

Mancat Monday

Caesar:
Happy Monday everycat!
Yeah, I know I am snoozing on a floofy frilly pillow, but that is just to make mommie happy.
This is my tender side.
you can click on the picture and see my sweet face close up.

The time will come
when winter
will ask you
what you were doing all summer.

Quickie blogg

Princess:
Today mommie is busy... grrrrr
she has a billion things to do!
We both get flooids today.

Tomorrow we get the day off, here is why. Mommie is driving up to pencilvainya to see Blizzie at the kollig. She will be gone all day tomorrow and leave us here with daddy. He works at home with the airconditioner set really kold.

today she has to do all sort of things to get ready for the trip, such as pack the car full of more of Blizzie's kollig clutter. Blizzie is taking a hard math class and has forgotten some of her math, so mommie has to gather Blizzie's olde math notes from high school so Blizzie can study them a bit. (Blizzie is very very smart and a perfectionist, she has to make A's *shakes head*)
Caesar:
Today is going to be a great day.
We will try to get around to visit your bloggies, if we can snag mommie's foot and make her help us.

OH one last thing... mommie's very surprising oncologist visit yesterday: her bloods with the VERY high IgM for the past two years, which would indicate non-hodgkins lymphoma, ,have made a slow u-turn and are so improved it is a miracle (that is what daddy says). The doctor calls it "low grade"!!! Mommie does not have to go back to the blood doctor for a whole year! She is very glad because she was very grumpy yesterday with everyone until that appointment was over. thank you for the purrs. Maybe purring gets rid of all of those too many IgM's in the blood.

here is a screen shot from last night's video-chat with gramma and grampa
can you see me on the couch with mommie? (in the corner, klick to biggify)


Happy Day to all of you and puuurrrrrs for a happy Friday too.
We will try to uppiedate this week-end.

There is no better exercise
for the heart

Luxie and Chairman MaoMao Awarded us with the Bloggggging Star Awardie

YAY
We are Blogging Stars!
we are so excited to receive this award, because... since we are 16, we have just sort of spent most of our kittie lives thinking we were just regular olde kitties. Here in Bloggie land, however, we have met so many wondermous and fabtastical kitties, and we have also learned that we are actually more that just regular, we are STARS!

The award was created by a bean named Barb at Skittles' Place. Here's what Barb says about the award:

This award is for bloggers who shine their light throughout the Blogosphere. Some do it with humor, others with creativity, and others with their kind and thoughtful natures. We all know more than a few of them so why not give them some recognition?

She also says:

Here's what to do if you receive this:

• Proudly display it on your blog along with a link to who gave it to you.
• Mention that it originated here at Skittles' Place so I can follow its journey.
• Pass it on to any blogger(s) you think should have it.

~*We are so honored to receive this award.
We have been rather busy and neglected many meme's. We have been trying and hopefully when mommie gets "unbusy" she can start helping us to complete all of the meme's that we have been saving in our "save now" mode.

We would love to award two kitties with this Blogging Star awardie.

The first:

BenFuzz!: BenFuzz is a very handsome fuzzy meezer boy. He is Suzanne's brother.
We think he is a STAR because he is floofy and he has a new wild sister LucyFurr. They are a mighty blogging team, and BenloveFuzz has even taken on and hosted the sweet 16 party and club.
Just wow.

Our second choice for Blogging Star is (oh gosh these awardies are so difficult to choose and hand out *whines*)
so our second choice is..... the very very brave Storm the Furry fighter! because she is blogging even on the days she feels sicky. We think she is a wonderful girl, always cheerful and upbeat, Certainly a shining STAR in our eyes!

Proud Princess

Yeah, I am mostly proud of taking my subq flooids like the Good Princess that I am.

However, also... we have received a special awardie.

Dragonheart has bestowed on us, this very very honorable Nice Matters awardie.

Caesar: This award means a lot to us. We think being nice is the most important thing ever.
If we do not have anything nice to say... well, then we just keep our muzzles shut.

Princess: We enjoy being friendly and nice! It comes easily because we are always happy!

We would like to award this in turn to (one for each of us):

Princess: I would like to award ~* PARKER because she is ALWAYS NICE. She is sweet and nice nice nice! and funny and cute.

Caesar: and I am going to award... OKAY I have two kitties I am going to awardie!
~*The first one I am awarding Posthumously to Oscar the Puppycat. Oscar was a nice kitty that cared about his family. He was always cheerful and had a positive outlook on life... even when things got busy with his bean family. Suddenly last week, he got very sick really fast, so fast that his daddy did not make it home in time to help him. So an angel came and picked him up and gently carried him to the Rainbow Bridge. Now he is with Suzanne and all of the other kitties that have left us so early. so, I am giving this award to him because he really deserves it.

*~and my other choice is: Sophia Diva Kitty! She is a sweet tuxie kitty and her mommie kuh-nits very nice things to help kitties and beans. She also has sooothing music on her blog. that is sooo niiiiice.

God was just showing off
when he created
you.

Mancat Monday

Caesar: Well.....
What a week-end.
Here it is Monday...

Blizzie is at her kollig in pencilvainya and she is doing great. Today she has to buy two tons of books...
Mommie is doing okay too. She is being brave and only cries a little bit.

Our home is really quiet now.

Yesterday mommie gave us our flooids all by her self. She is a olde nurse, so she is very motivated, ambitious, persistent and goal oriented. She gets her way.
I am a mancat and very cooperative with mommie. .... okay I adore my mommie and will be a good boy to her forever!

Prinnie was a bit worried when mommie wanted to give her the flooids. Prin seriously pondered the thought of getting downright krabby, but then mommie reassured her and wowie. I will say I am very proud of Prinnie for being brave and getting flooids without Blizzie being there.

Happy day to all of you.

but the fruit is sweet.

Remembrance Week~end

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own. ~Ben Sweetland

We must take a break....

Princess:
Blizzie is preparing for her return to kollig. I am very very unhappy about this... when she came home last May... for a while there I was indifferent to her, but over the summer we have formed our previous close relationship... and now we must separate again.

*sigh*

I know she will be home now and then... but it is not the same. So, I must rely on second best...which is mommie.

Caesar has always been a mommie's boy, so I guess I can be a mommie's girl

Meanwhile, the next few days are a flurry of activity as all of us spend the last few precious moments together.

We hope all of you kitties stay healthy and happy while we are away from our computer.
You are loved by us.
'til when

When you look at your life,
the greatest happinesses
are family happinesses.

Sad day.

Good-bye to our sweet sweet Oscar.
This is such unbearably sad news

After all, to the well-organized mind,
death is but the next great adventure.

Wordless Wednesday and of course... a kwote

BUSY DAY TODAY! WE WILL TRY TO GET AROUND TO YOUR BLOGGS

Tail and Tent Tuesday

Caesar: this is my tail. Okay?

I take it with me everywhere I go. I carry it high and proudly.

Prinnie, you need to get out of the tent now... my long happy tail and I need a nap in there...

Prinnie: >>news flash<<: I have a happy tail too. I am not budging.

Life is a tapestry:
We are the warp; angels, the weft;
God, the weaver.
Only the Weaver sees the whole design.

MANCAT Monday

Caesar:
It was a rough week-end in kittybloggerland.
I prescribe sunshine, in large doses today.
Mancats have to maintain a high level of strength and bravery to support furry tender hearts.

Depend on it!
Lean on us.

Thorns and stings And those such things Just make stronger Our angel wings.

Frooty Kitchen Prowlers and Flower FRIDAY

Princess:
Today is the day... that we share our bat ears.
Sometimes... mommie does not deliver our meatglop to us...
so we have to go find her and tell her that it is time to eat!

Caesar always walks around with his tail up very high... or low-high. This is his low-high position, which means... happy but urgently concerned.

and some flowers from the garden.

We have had very little rain here, and mom did not water the grass at all this summer, just the gardens, as necessary. This year, mommie's flowers have not been so spectacular, but they have been just nice enough.

We hope every cat has a delightful week-end

As usual, we will be sorta busy this week-end and into next week. Blizzie is getting ready to go to kollig. Mommie has a squillion things to do... and then... dundundun
Blizzie must return to the kollig compound next week Saturday...
We are deeply distressed!

There are two kinds of people:
those who say to God, "Thy will be done,"
Y
and those to whom God says,
"All right, then, have it your way."

~C.S. Lewis

Thursday

Princess:
That picture from yesterday.... that was Caesar jumping from the fridgie when he was 5 years old.
He was always up on things. He used to sit high up on the curtain valences, on top of doors, and he liked to do things to make mommie scream. Once... he jumped right up onto the middle of Chrystabelles bed canopy and crashed and crushed it! He was a lot like ChairmanMao... always spazzing and taking unbelievable risks.

silly brother. I certainly do love him.

The quote... from yesterday. That was a bad quote. We were wondering how many of you would be thinking that was a very negative quote. We think that Ellen was a very gloomy person. We hope she got help.

It is chilly here in Virginia. yesterday was only 68. ..... so much for "global warming"
In upper Michigan, where daddies grampa lives they have already had night time temperatures of 36... brrrrrrr

here a happy picture from last nights video chat and a cheerful quote!

grandma and grandpa went all the way across town to find and purchase a new teakettle.
Here they are showing their new teakettle


I know.... unlike Caesar... I talk too much.
Have a wonderful happy day every kitty
You are loved

Tuxie Tuesday

Caesar:
Happy Happy Tuesday to all of you!

Yesterday we visited many blogs but we could not comment. Something was wrong there (a mean and annoying error message came up) and it made us sad. Once we got on to Parker's blog and actually left a comment and then it came up with a error message. Prinnie threw a fit and walked around the house screaming her little fuzzy head off. we will try to visit today but mommie has not been too helpful, she claims she has to assist Blizzie with her kollig packing and go with her to the peeple doctor to get glasses and contacts.
It is a dreary rainy day here... finally rain in Virginia.
That means... the birdie bath is full
I think I will eat and sleep excessively today!

Excess on occasion is exhilirating.
It prevents moderation
from acquiring the deadening effect of a habit.

P.s.:: every day after you make a blog entry, be sure to Ping your blog at Blogrolling so we know that you have something new at your blog!

Tired Party Cat MONDAY

Princess:
We spent the entire week-end at the Sweet 16 bash hosted by BenFuzz and Lucyfurr.
and now...
We are wiped out!

Woooooo go Sweet 16 kitties

Have a restful Monday.

Our Chrystabelle bean found this Middleton's comic
and sent it to us!

Happy Fri-diddle-day and snappy week-end

Caesar:
Mommie and Blizzie came back from the x-ray place and mommie was still pretty krabby and starving, so I was very nice and let her do some major snarfing. She felt the purrrs. Thank you thank you for the purrrs, they were rumbling over the blue ridge mountains and came crashing over to mommie.

She thinks the x-rays were probably okay, because she has this dumb disease but so far there are no symptoms that she is aware of, or any bad things growing in her, that she knows of....
She just is very very sick of dealing with this. She should count her lucky stars and stop being such a whining ninny.

OH! yesterday their trippy to the gramma and grampa was good. grampa showed mommie his diary that he wrote when he was a prisoner of war (taken up in a razzia in the Netherlands), in Germany. It was a cool diary. It was in Dutch but mommie could read it.

We hope all of you kitties have a terrifical week-end.

We have the Same Muzzle (or as mommie says it, "muvvel")

Caesar:
Hey Hey so sorry we did not blogg yesterday.
Mommie and Bliz were lazy... or something... oh! panicking too...
Yes, about tests, but also ... who knows. things they won't tell us, not to worry our poor little fuzzy heads they think.

First of all, THANK YOU so very much for the purrrrrs and good vibes and prayers for mommie. She feels empowered and brave. Now we just wish she would stop whining.

Today we are going to show you with which kitties we think we share the same muzzle.
Princess:
I think I have the same muzzle as . . . . . . .
I do not know.. who do I look like??


This is Miral from Kattenpraat's catwalk.
wowie... look at those gorgeous bloo eyes :::sigh:::

She is Cornish, like me...... what do you think?



Caesar: Oh, I think this was completely easy. Who cares about the Cornish-Bornish-Schmornish

It is so wonnnnnderful to be handsome!
Presenting:
mirror image muzzlies Maomao and me!


Now Prinnie is laffing about my 'no whiskers'
Hey, I am special. Remember?

Random fact about me. I eat my dry crunchies like a bull dozer. I open up my tiger mouth really wide and pick up as many crunchies as I can... then, I move my head to the right and I dump some of them on the floor next to the bowl as I gobble up the rest. Sometimes I eat those on the floor or if Prinnie is near by, she eats those. Otherwise, I reach into the bowl for a fresh mega-chomp and repeat. Blizzie says I eat like a bulldozer

Thursday, we will not be blogging. Blizzie and mommie are going to gramma and grammpa in Annapolis Merruhlind.
On Friday... after mommie's tests in the morning we will visit around and maybe post a late blogg. We have some flowers to show you... but we can always put them up on Saturday.

Happy Wednesday. Have fun, be adventurous! Do the thing you are not sure you can do!

If you want to make your dreams come true,
the first thing you have to do is wake up.
