Mancat Monday and Canmat-in-Braining Monday

Pierro:
Happy Monday kitties.

Today I am going to show you what Miles does every day after mom and dad have dinner.

He does the dishes!!!!

I did not even need to teach him this!

I think he is growing up to be a very good helper!

Miles:
I am still a canmat-in-braining but I love learning --and helping mom in the kitchen!

Pierro is a super fun and smart mancat!

Happy snappy bronkiebronkbonkbonkbonk Monday

It is the second week of Advent

have a lovely week preparing for Christmas!
It will be here soon.

and

It is Sinterklaas this day
for all of my friends in Holland!
When mom was a tiny girl 100 years ago, she lived in Holland and
loved Sinterklaas! Christmas was a blessed Holy day
a celebration of Christ's birth
and Sinterklaas was the fun festival
for presents and candy - it starts on December 5th.
Wow that has changed so much....

You don't have the power
to make life "fair"
but you do have the power
to make life joyful.

is to do a common thing
in an uncommon way.

Wednesday Happy Thanksgiving to all of our friends

Miles: Mom made these pictures of us in "picnik". The big girl, Teeniebelle, showed mom how to use it when she came home to see mom on Sunday.
Then on Monday, mom sort of forgot how to use the program but ....
She is not very artistic so this is as good as it gets, kitties
I feel a little bit warm

Pierro:

Well, at least I am not a "bronk orange alert"

I feel kind of cool

We hope you have a lovely bonkful Thanksgiving.
We will be looking out for tastes of yummy turkey, and maybe some stuffing or potatoes!! OOoooh and gravy!

Thanksgiving is the holiday of peace,
the celebration of work and the simple life...
a true folk-festival that speaks the poetry of the turn of the seasons,
the beauty of seedtime and harvest,
the ripe product of the year -
and the deep, deep connection
of all these things with God.
~Ray Stannard Baker

Mancat Monday and Canmat-in-Braining Monday

Pierro:
Today I had to show Miles how to be a good helper in the kitchen.
Mom was making oatie meal cookies.
You have to check the machine - but beee careful.

Miles:
Like this Pierro?

Pierro: no no Miles do not lick!!!!

Miles: can we have a nap in the sun now?
Hey happy Monday everykitty
have a bronkful day!

Selfishness is not living
as one wishes to live,
it is asking others to live
as one wishes them to live.
~Oscar Wilde

Frootbat Friday

Pierro: Yay it is Friday!
Just think,, one week from now, everybody will be full of turkey and pie.
.... and Blizzie will be home too!
Miles and I are going to help mom clean up the house and get ready for a fun Thanksgiving next week.
Have a bonkful week-end

Miles:

Bronkiebronk Frootbat Friday and week-end!

It's not who you are
that holds you back,

Miles: yesterday we got a lot of rain and no sun.


Pierro:
It was a great opportunity to catch up on much needed rest!


Today we hope we get some sun!
bonks and bronks!

Friendship with oneself is all-important,
because without it
one cannot be friends with anyone else.

Mancat Pierro and Canmat-in-Braining Miles!

Pierro:
Miles and I are looking out the back window.
This window is very sunny and the birdies are all over the back yard.

Pierro:
See the bird house Miles? The blue birdies live here.
This is called prime real estate!

Miles: ohhhh okay.
soooo.... where are the blue birdies?
Pierro:
we have to keep looking. This exercise takes patience, Miles

Miles:
Hi kitties. Pierro and I are doing our morning rounds!
Bronkiebronks for a fun Monday

Why be difficult
when with a bit of effort
you can be impossible?!!

Frootbats Friday

happy Frootbat Friday
we hope you have a bonkiebronkful day

We are going to try to visit your bloggies today.
Mom has been very busy with her own projects and not helping us.
Have a fun snappy week-end too

It's the little moments that make life big

Wildcat Wednesday ~All about Miles

Miles:
Today I will tell you a few things about me.

1. I like to take things that are interesting. I take tooth brushes, combs, various and assorted papers, underpants, socks, Blizzie's slippers, dirtyforks, noodles out of the pot, mom's pin cushion --- and other things.

mom says I am a lot like Caesar and Princess when they were kittens. I think that is a good thing, huh? I like to chomp bags, even ones full of new kitty litter.

2. Yes, I have been on the upstairs railing. Guess what? when mom says "no no", I know how to run on the railing!

3. I have a curl on the top of my head
I thought mom said I had a squirrel on the top of my head, oops

4. when I nap on mom's sewing chair, I put my front leg under my body and stick it out in back

This is all I will tell you today

bronks for a fun Wednesday!

"To be no cat but your own fuzzyself
in a world that's doing its best
to make you some cat else,
is to fight the hardest battle
you are ever going to fight.
NEVER stop bronking and playing."
~e.e. cummings-ish

Mancat Monday and Canmat-in-Braining Monday

Pierro: I do not see the birds at this window at all!! where are they?

Miles: Over here Pierro. Come and look - quick!!!!

Pierro: Well done Miles! Now let's meow at them!


Happy Monday, bonks and bronks!

What we see
depends
mainly on
what we look for!

Frootbat Friday

Happy Friday kitties!!
We love the kitchen! It is one of our favorite rooms!

Have a happy bonkbronkful week-end too

I haven't failed,

Wildcat Wednesday

Miles:
whathuh? mom we are being good boys when you go away skating, or digging in the yard, or shopping for our food!
While you are away, we help daddy with his job. Ask daddy, we are quiet and good.


Pierro:
but when mom comes home, we turn into two wild dangerous crazy tigers

Miles: uh oh. Even though I am a pound and a half heavier than Pierro
He is still the boss. Oh yep, he is.

Winter is an etching,
spring a watercolor,
summer an oil painting
and autumn a mosaic of them all.
~Stanley Horowitz

Mancat and Canmat-in-braining Monday

Miles:
It is our duty to check all of the tigerfood cans that come into our house!
Pierro is showing me how we have to inspect each and every can.

I think mom should open these up. We need to test every flavor!

Pierro: bonks and happy Monday, kitties!

Lies can never become true,
however many times you repeat it.
The truth can never be wrong,
even if no one hears it!

~Mahatma Gandhi.

Frootbat Friday

Happy Friday and Bonkbonkbonk!!!

have a fun Halloweenie bronkie week-end!!!

A gypsy fire is on the hearth,
Sign of the carnival of mirth;
Through the dun fields and from the glade
Flash merry folk in masquerade,
For this is Hallowe'en!
~Author Unknown

Wild Wednesday

Miles:
We got a cool package in the mail.

We got it because we winned the auction at Jan's funny fun farm.


Pierro: Look, we got a whole face full of nip!! it just tumbled right out of the box!
-then mom put together our new HAM-MICK!!! handcrafted by forty paws' mom! I had to try it first since I am the oldest and my brain is bigger

get away Miles, me first

Miles:

We love our new ham-mick. Okay Pierro, time is up. My turn!

Forget the future,
you can't predict it and you can't control it,
but you can control just about every minute
of how you live today.
Enjoy every aspect and every challenge
-- after all they'll be gone tomorrow.

Monday mancat and canmat-in-braining

Miles:
Yeah well, it is fuzzy but still.
Mom was really proud and happy to see us cuddling together.
Pierro thinks I am too wiggly and I want to wrestle all the time -- mostly...
but he was sleeping here first and I gently barged in.
Mom calls me "Pumpkin Pie"

Pierro:
One thing about Miles? He is warmer than me.
Oh, and I guess you can see he is getting BIGGER than me
I am all curled up so I look really tiny but Miles does weigh almost one pound heavier than me. This is okay with me, I am everything wonderful in a small package. Mom calls me "Love Cloud"

Happy Monday Mancats and Girlcats!
