More Miles and Me Wednesday

Pierro:
Wednesday greetings kitties
the statement of progress here is that I am quite well aware that there is a loud kitten in my old room.
I am not sure what I think about this kitten.

I hissed at him two times when he was near the door.


Mom says we are going to go slow, because she thinks I am a scaredy kitty
I-I-I just think it is good to be mindful of which kitty was here first.
Stuff like that...
What's the hurry, right?

Miles: Hi kitties.
I like my toys and I like my room a lot.

daddy comes and plays with me the most and I like to lick his head
Mom is the boss - I am pretty sure about that.
Dad told mom I was chewing on his socks! Mom says I might be a socks maniac but there is therapy for that... hmmmm socksaholics?

I like camera straps

I am taking notes and hope to start my thesis next week
I get to come downstairs one time a day and play with Blizzie
Oh and, the food is great here too!
Pierro taught me a word: bronkbronk. Yeah I think that is it
I am practicing that every day now
BRONKKKK!!!

Pierro:
okay, greatttt Miles.

Miles Monday


Pierro:
I know all of you are excited about my new brother.
Mom will not let us play together yet... in fact I have not even seen him, but I know he lives in my old kitten room.


Yesterday morning, in the pouring rain, Missie CurlieSwirlieTeri came over to my house with my little kitten brother and his two brothers: Zeus and Carlos. Mom put me in my own room while she was here. I heard a lot of noises down stairs some of it was kind of scary.

Much later, after the front door closed and the house got quiet again, mom let me out of my room. I could not find anything but these papers and toys.

I think three kittens were down stairs playing with my toys. I hope they liked them.

Mom is thrilled to have a CurlieSwirlie kitten. She says Missie Teri is so smart and really nice and wonderful. Not only did we get a new baby from her, we also have a very good friendship!
So, for the next few days I have to go slowly so Miles does not freak out when he sees me.
He has to live in this room most of the time,

but mom and dad will visit him. Lizzie can't because she is stuck downstairs with her hurtie foot, but mom will take Miles out of his room a few times during the day when I feel like napping in my own room.


Miles:

hi kitties. I am over here on the bed. See me?
Wowie. purrrrrr purrrrpurrrpurrrpurrrrpurrrrpurrrpurrrrr

New house, new room new toys purrrrpurrrrpurrr new blankies new smells new everything purrrrpurrrrpurrr

Nothing is the same except my toys from home.
This is pretty interesting.

I need to study all of this very very purrrrpurrrrpurrr carefully
Then I think I will have to write up a detailed report with charts and graphs.
This bed is really cozy.


Pierro: We will post more pictures later this week.
Happy Snappy kitten brother Monday!

grrrr can't get this doooor open!

Frootbat Friday

Pierro:
Hi kitties.
Blizzie came home from her surgery yesterday and I am helping her
all day and listening all night.
I sniffed her a lot.

when she first got home, mom put her on the couch as you see here.
Then later, dad and mom brought Blizzie's bed down stairs
so, now she is resting very comfy on a real bed with a super nice spongy
mattress and she has her foot up on that big puffy thing.
I have to check her a lot
then I need a break.
being a nurse kitty is a lot of work.
I get really hungry and tired. I just don't want to get too exhausted because I have to be alert and perky for my brother Miles. He is coming to live with me on Sunday.


Happy Frootbat Friday


I am feeling happy today.
I hope you have a happy day too.

bigbonks!
ps: if you don't hear a peep from me on Monday, it might be that mom is too tired
to help me blog. I will try to update all of you as soon as I can.
more bonks!
Yes, we must ever be friends;
and of all who offer you friendship
let me ever be the first,
the truest,
the nearest and dearest!

Miles' room Wednesday

Pierro:
Hi kitties.

today is the day I will show you Miles' room.
It is my old room but mom and I cleaned it really well, and now it is ready for my kitten brother.


He has this new cuppie bed and some safe toys

I think he will feel cozy in this room

the sunshine comes right in this window every morning!!


Here is the outside hall way... exciting huh?
Ooooh look at that railing!

mom gets very mad when I stand on this railing, she calls me "NONO Pierro"
and she shakes the squirty bottle at me.

Mom says she is going to cover this huge nutty lamp with a lot of aluminum foil, so when Miles comes out of his room, he will not be interested in jumping onto that thing.
It does look tempting but I never tried to jump on it.

Anycat have any better idea than foil?

Soon Miles and I can share my room

I like the view from my window too


I hope all of you kitties have a pouncing and bonking fun day.
I have to help mom with a lot of things today to prepare for Blizzie's surgery tomorrow
and for Miles to come to our house on Sunday.

Mancat Monday

Pierro:
Happy Monday
I love relaxing under this pink blankie in my favorite sunny spot in the sun room
Mom always finds me here, and she touches the top of the blankie to find my head
then she starts kissing my head through the blanket, then she gives me scritches through the blanket.

then, she lifts up the blanket to see my cute face and this is what she finds:

She has been kissing and scritching MY BUTT

haha silly mommie

I am hoping next Monday will be Miles Mancat-in-Training Monday
Thank you kitties for purring for Miles and his brothers to get all better from
their virus. All of you are such loyal and wonderful pals!
Mommie, and dad and Blizzie and I are going to take really good care of Miles when he comes to live with us.
Meantime, I am going to hope this is a week of full recovery for all of the kittens that got sick... and that the others don't get sick! Mom says being sick is soooo annoying!

Frootbat Friday

Pierro:
Guess what dear friends?
Please do not be crestfallen
Please do not turn on the waterworks and howl
Please do not go home sad and dejected.

Miles has a tummy ache and he is not feeling so good, so...
everycat and bean has to wait a week.
This is a disappointment but
sunny days are ahead and now we have another exciting week to anticipate
our new orange kitten.
We do not want Miles to come to our house and be a bit sickish and also not have his mommie or brothers or Missie CurlieSwirlie Teri. That would be three scary things and those are big things to a tiny orange kitten.
Just thinking about it makes me feel like crying.

In the meantime, I will continue to work on my mancat big brother skills and
(mom says you have to click to biggify this one)

test out all of the napping areas.



I will check the toys and I can even show you some pictures next week of Miles' room!
How about that? I could not do that if Miles was here!

I could not barge into his little kitten nursery and frighten him with my huge pounding paws.
--so now we have another week to prepare.

I am a mancat. I can deal with this.
Alas, Blizzie's surgery is STILL on for Thursday the 20th at 11:00am sharp meow meow
BonkBonkBonks to all of my greatest furriends
Happy Friday!

Every disappointment
gives you opportunity

to make another appointment.

Wayback Wednesday


Pierro:
here is a sweet picture of Caesar and Princess when mommy just brought them home in 1991. She put them in the downstairs bathroom.
they were only 10 weeks old ~

They lived in there for a couple of days and they got to come out and explore when mom was around to watch them.
This was a nice downstairs bathroom. It had a window that looked out on the backyard where all of the squirrels and birdies played.

Miles is going to be in my old room!
It has two nice windows and a lot of room to romp and play.
The sun shines in there and the birds are in the trees, he will see all of those birdies in the woods.
Mom put a bunch of comforters in there- a huge snuggly pile of them, and a people bed too.
We are thinking that perhaps Miles will get scared and lonely at night, especially the first few nights, so Blizzie or mommy can sleep in there with him.
I know during the day, I will be sitting outside of his room, checking on him... perhaps we can push some toys back and forth under the door!! That is a good bonding game.

I hope you have a bonkie Wednesday.

There is a lot happening over here and I have to help with everything!

I have to tell you that I am very sorry that mom is not helping me visit blogs.
She has been so busy with preparing the house for Miles, and and and Blizzie is home and she has so much stuff, mom is trying to get stuff washed and putting stuffs away and oh yes guess what? Blizzie is having surgery next Thursday! she is having surgery on her left foot and then she will not be able to walk for three weeks!!
So I will have to help mom. I can wear a tiny nurse hat and we will take care of Blizzie.

bonkbonkbonkbonk to all of you for a super sunny funeroofun Wednesday

God puts us all
in each others lives
to impact one another in some way.

Mancat Monday

Pierro:
Happy Mancat Monday
Happy Day Happy Day

in 6 days my brother Miles will be here with me.
Missie Curlie Swirlie Teri is coming to my house this Saturday to bring my little brother
I am really afraid of people I never met and strange voices
but Blizzie will be here and momm and dad, so I think it will be okay.

I am excited about having my very own buddy.
Miles and I will be partners-in-silliness ~ less shooting, more romping!
I can't wait to show him all of my special places with cool stuff to step on and sniff.

Bonkie bonks for a fun and sunny Monday

Frootbat Friday


Pierro:
everything is great here at home.
I have my dad, I have my mom and I have my sunny patch in my own room.
today is a good day to have a nap.

Here we had hot weather all week and mom put the cold blowing machine on.
brrrrrrr it was chilly

This week-end is going to be much nicer.
I hope your Friday is bonkful and your week-end is paw tapping fun!

Happy Mommy Day to all of the mommies!

Wayback Wednesday


Pierro:
This wayback Wednesday has nothing to do with Caesar and Princess, meow!
I found this old picture of Blizzie when she was in 11th grade, back in the olden days of 2005. I was not even alive back then!!
The funny thing about this picture is that in high school, Blizzie played the piano in the
snazzy jazzy Jazz Ensemble. She did not even play anything in marching band. ever.

The marching band went to Texas to play in the CottonBowl halftime show and she went on that trip and played this instrument. It was really heavy, and Blizzie is really tiny

She had to learn how to march (heel-toe-heel-toe) and play this heavy instrument about two weeks before the trip.

haha funny.
she had a good time though and she got to wear this cool outfit and that snazzy hat with the huge feather too!

·····I want that feather!
I am happy. Blizzie is moving back home this Sunday.
This was the hardest college semester for her, she had an internship with the state department every day, and in the evening, she had classes until 8:00.
Oh my gosh, no naps!
Then she had to go to her apartment and write long papers - really long papers.
The end is in sight.
Come home and snuggle with me Blizzie
In other news:
****Today is the day my daddy comes home and I am excited to smell his stuff.

••••also, today is the day my tiny little orange brother, and his 4 brothers get their hoo-ha's snipped ouch! I am purring for all of them.
Missie CurlieSwirlieTeri took this picture, awwww 5 cutie boys.

Poor little guys. They will have owie butts.

I hope you have bonkful Wednesday

When they discover the center of the universe,
a lot of people will be disappointed
they
are not it!

Mancat Monday

Pierro:
Hey furriends. How was your week-end? was it a good one?
Well, here it was just me and mom

yeah, she was picking me up and kissing me a LOT...

moooommm.
anyway, daddy went on a road trip to the U.P. of Michigan (Marquette) to see his dad and his big sister and his big brother too!
So, I have to be the mancat around the house.
I helped mom with many projects. I kept her busy the whole time all day this week-end.
She could not have done all those things with out my help and encouragement!
At night she needed me to cuddle with her.
I think she was afraid of robbers and bad guys running around the outside of the house.
So I let her pet me a lot. -yes, and the kissing.

Okay, so, we did some kitten proofing.
see, this is a very dangerous situation in the laundry room

A kitten, MY kitten Miles! could fall down here and get afraid and maybe hurt his paw.
I helped mom make a good shelf behind the machines


I helped her look in dad's box of things to get the right silver twirly things



See, I made a great shelf with mom.
mom thinks it looks like she has way too many bottles here, but really one bottle is almost empty and one is Lizzie's from college that she can't use because mom's machine different.

Now Miles can go and investigate behind the machines - from the floor level,
that is okay, it is safe, but he will not fall from above.
Mom thinks that was a fantastic idea, I thought of that!

I know, I used to be a canmat-in-braining... remember?
That is what Miles will be. He will be tiny and I will help him.

I am so excited!!!!
eh-hem.
So I am going to help mom even more this week. Daddy will be back on Wednesday.
Today she is bringing another huge bag of my poops to the vetlady, so they can play with them, check them for bad stuff or something. Vetpeople need to find better hobbies...

Bonkbonk Mancat Monday!!!
