taking a break.... sort of

Caesar: mommie and Blizzie are veryvery busy getting ready to take the trippy to Willyamsberg for Chrystabelle's Gradmatashon from the kollig of The Williyam and The Mary (Daddie is still in the Floriduh living it up at the confurrense and will be home tomorrow),
so we will be visiting your bloggies (randomly) but we may not have time to make posts.
Princess:
We love all of you.
Stay healthy!!! Be happy

Make the best use of what is in your power,
and take the rest as it happens.

Tennis Tuesday

Princess:














Well, my grandpa got The Gold Medal. Yep! in the doubles match.
My grammpa is the guy on the LEFT (the shorter one) Aren't they cute old guys?
That other guy, the tall one is my grammpa's tennis partner
Grampa also got a silver in the singles.
that lady in the black shortz is the medal passer outer. My gramma and grammpa (mommie's mom and dad) went to "the Merruhlind eastern shore" to be in the Senior Olympics. My grampa is a super tennis player and he is 82! My gramma is his faithful cheerleader (don't tell anyone but she is 83).
We are so proud of him!

Today, mommie is going to drive up to the Pensilvainya Messiah kollig and bring Blizzie home.
She is leaving right now... so we hope everyone has a super terrifical day
I am going to do some chores while mommie is gone and she will be vaary happy with me when she comes home.

If we did all of the things
we are capable of doing,
we would
literally
astound
ourselves!

ManCat Monday

Caesar:
Oh maaaannn I hope all of you kitties were extra nice to your mommies yesterday.
I came up with a super great idea and told daddie to get some burgers at 5 Guys so that is what he did and mommie was very happy. They have really great fried potatos that are fried in peanut oil. They smelled wowie yummy. I even got a lick.
They were going to go to gramma and grampa, but they went to the beach... more about that later, maybe tomorrow :-)
Here is a pic of me and mommie working out in front of the tv.
Well! don't I look manly? I am actually really her athletic trainer, but I like to work out with her to keep her motivated.

Happy Monday!

If the problem is something
you cannot change,
then you must change your attitude
toward it.

Happy Mother's Day

Most
of all the other beautiful things in life
come by twos and threes,
by dozens and hundreds.
Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows,
brothers and sisters,
aunts and cousins,
comrades and friends but only one mother in the whole world.

Happy Mother's Day! mommie

Saturday: week over view

Caesar:
yes, this has been quite a week... lots of things happened.. FUN things and terrible clogging things, happy times and sad events. Such is this life...

Now the week-end. This is really a good time to reflect.

Princess:
Thank you so much for the super strong purrrs for mommie. She is such a baby when she has to go to the doctor. She gets panicky... When she came home she was much happier and we gave her piles of attention.
Again, thank you from Caesar and me for those strong purrrrrrrz for mommie.

We are so excitapated about Blizzie coming home from the kollig compound next Toozday. Mommie has to go and get her because daddie will be in Floreeduh at a konfurrince. I think he will be eating ice cream there... because we saw a special ticket for the ice cream social. Wowie we could do what daddie does too... Anyway, mommie is going to drive her machine to Pencilvainya to get the Blizzette and all of her kollig clutter. We are going to have a party when she comes home. THEN we are going to have SlowSarah come over and learn how to take care of us, mommie is going to invite her early so she can learn all of our requirements because.... on Saterday... next Saterday, mommie daddie and Blizzie are going to go to the Kollig of the Williyam and the Mary and see Chystabelle gradjoomate from the kollig. I think she will have agradjoomation soot on and a special hat too.

So, anyway... getting back to today.
We hope every cat has a delightful Saterday and week-end with your peeple

Living is a form of not being sure,

not knowing what next or how . . .
We guess.
We may be wrong,
but we take leap after leap

<3 farewell to a very much beloved furrriend ~

We are so deeply saddened for the loss of TeaCup, our favorite badkittycat ever.
We will miss you sweet friend... However, we will see you again some day
We snagged this wonderful picture of Mr. Handsome TeaCup Zepheniah, our most fond furrbuddy furrever from Megan his mommie's bloggie
We are sending strong purrs and prayers for TeaCup's family. All of us are so heartbroken.
It is going to take some time to heal from this loss.


Oh we want to cry a million tears today.
fortunately we had worked on our meme before we learned this news... otherwise, we are not sure we could have accomplished this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

:::sigh:::
and... we can try to go on bravely . . .

~Friday Frootbats~+ the meme

Dragonheart, and several other wonderful kittyfriends now (we did not realize we were "so Poopular")....tagged both of us to write 7 random things about ourselves. thank you everyone for tagging us to do this meme. (what does meme mean anyway?)
Here are the rules: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Kittypoos's who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven kitty tigers to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Princess:
#1. I am all white, but when I was a kit-ten, I had some black furs on my head. They went away when I got big.
#2. When I was 1 year old, I went through a nesting stage after I was spayed. I gathered important things from around the house and hid them under Blizzie's (my favorite girl) bed. One day mom discovered under Blizzie's bed... *oh this is sooo embarraassssing* two bath towels, a half full package of hot dog rolls, lots of underpanties missing from the dirty laundry, and several used "sanitary items" of mommies absconded from her trashcan. I took the bag of hot dog rolls and the towels from down stairs and brought them up all by my self! The other items were readily available on the upper level. I continued this nesting activity for several months... mommie usually only took back the things that were food... or "icky" from under Blizzie's bed, as she felt I need to work through this stage...
#3 once when I was 3 years old, I climbed behind the insulation in the basement and got stuck behind there. Caesar had to go get mommie. She had to cut the insulation to get me out. That was interesting behind there...
#4 I swallowed a needle with red thread when I was two years old... on my mommies birthday. She had to take me to the emergency vet to get it removed. Lucky me, I had a really full tummy. Mommie had a great birthday that year.
#5 I am very vocal and very very loud
#6 I chewed off all of Caesar's whiskers. They never grew back :::blushes:::
#7 I love my little bean, Blizzie the best, but now that she is at kollig, I tolerate mom and dad. I miss sitting on Blizzie's lap while she plays the piano. She is coming home on Tuesday... I am so excited!!!!!



Caesar:
#1 I am mommie's faverite kitty boy. She adores me. I help her do everything. I purrr all the time.
#2 I look just like my kitty mommie (Prinnie looks like our kitty daddie, all wite)
#3 One day I like the meat glop being served, then the next day I don't like it. So mommie always has lots of open cans of stinkie goodness in the fridge. Sometimes she mixes two kinds together to get me to eat, so I only eat the part I like.
#4 I am very very messy in the litter box, I like to splash the litter around but I never cover. never.
#5 I always announce to mommie after I use the litter box by howling really REALLY loud and manly. Then when she says, "good boy Caesar" I change to my loud kit-ten voice. But she has to say 'good boy Caesar' or I go crazy.
#6 I still try to climb stuff even though I am 16 and getting kind of stiff and creaky .
#7 Prinnie and I sleep in our own paradise bedroom at night. It has a heeter, a huge peeple bed with piles of fluffy snuggly blankies and all the luxurious comforts you could imagine, even classical radio all night... but back in the day (before mommie got the hotflashie things) I would sleep with my mommie. I would get under the covers... and go down to the end of the bed, and lie on my side and hold on to mommies leg with my front legs and back legs. I had to sleep like that... then mommie started getting boiling hot so now we sleep in our own rooooom



We have lots of other things about us we could share but we will leave it at this.
When you are 16... you have history, heh hehe.


Here is the chance we get to pick from our friend kitties to do this meme thing.
We tag: (you have to list 7 things)
1 Chairman MaoMao
2 Sara (when she has a chance to dictate to her mommie because she is still at the ho-tel, poor fuzzy little suffering thing)
3 Mr. Hendrix, or Bendrix or both :-)
4 Fazlovebucket
5 Suzanne, the soon to be sweet and sassy 16
6. Floofy lovely Luna in Germany
7 SammmmmY the meEzer

We are needing some strong purrs for our mommie this morning. She has a doctor appointment today, and she needs to be brave. Strong Purrs for Braveness, pleeeeeeezzzzz

Thursday's Thoughts

Caesar:
Tuesday, when I went to the vetman... I really had to see a vet lady and she was pretty nice. She had long red fur on her head. The whole visit was rather embarrassing, the whole being constipated thing. I was totally humiliated . . .
But the nice thing was, as usual, everyone at Leesburg Veterinary Hospital was so nice and they thought I was really handsome. They hadn't seen me in so long since I have been so healthy, so they even acted like they missed me. Everyone was like, "Wowie Caesar" I like how they pretend you are famous or something when you go to the vet.

Since the last time I was there, I noticed a few changes. The waiting room now has a huge aquarium, and there were the usual two big cages with cute kitties looking for forever homes. One kitty was ginormus. His name was Cupid. His paws were four times the size of mine and his head was huuuuge it was twice as big as mine. He was pretty laid back.
I also met a doggie that like kitties. His man brought him over to the kitty side (not really allowed) and that was a friendly doggie but wowie he scared me half to death. Good thing my mommie was there.

So, anyway, the vet tech was a guy and he was really nice to me.
The vet lady said it is normal for 16 year olds to get constipated. How embarrassing.
When we got home I just curled up in a ball and tried to sleep off the trauma....

Now I have to take some medicine every day. Mom gives it to me in a syringe. she jusst dumps it in my mouth. I am okay with that. It is not so bad.

So anyway... life is good. I had a really nice looking poop this morning. Very big and brown. I was so proud of it I did not cover it.

Oh, I almost forgot, here is a picture of Blizzie the little girl bean at the kollig with her Jazzgroop. Mommie and daddie went to see her on Saterday. She is the one playing the big black box on the left. They call that a piano. We have one here but mommie wont let me in that room to inspect it. It is one of those, you know, "no-no" places
Mom is going to the rink today. We hope all of you kitties have a super fabbie day! We will be here, basking in the sun... oh, it looks like rain actually....

One of the advantages of being disorderly
is that one is constantly making
exciting discoveries.

Word-Full Wednesday

Poor Caesar.... he had to go to the vetman yesterday.

After mommie came home from the rink yesterday,
Caesar started complaining of a poopie stuck in his butt.

He was crying and everything, so mommie got the blue prison box out and took Caesar away in the car.
he came back later and smelled really funny. Mommie showed me the medicine he has to take every day to keep his poops soft. I am going to drink a lot and show mommie I do not need medicine for poops.

We hope you have a great day today. Mommie is going to be home most of the day but she might go out hunting for food.

I am going to go check on Caesar now.
We love you kittiefriends

Tigresssss Toozday

Princess:
yesterday was a really pretty day. It was sunny and nice.

Our daddie opened the back door for me.

So, I spent most of the day .... just like this. It was so nice

My great gramma knitted this yellow blankie.
I think my mommie gave it to me.

Today is supposed to be warm again. goodie!

Happy Tuesday

ManCat Monday

Caesar:
I think I look like a mancat in this picture.
See my huge muskles? I even have a 6-pack. Can you see it? It has handles :-D

We missed Chey and Latte's wonderful wedding and reception. Mommie and daddie left for Blizzie's kollig at 5:pm on the dot and did not come home until 12:30 am!

They had a wonderful time... hugging Blizzie and listening to her play the piano with her Jazz Groop, and we sat here alone and our limo never showed up! We were very very very disappointed. I was thinking about barfing on the carpet in retaliation but... I am 16 now so I just took it like a mancat. Prinnie was terribly upset and sobbed quietly in a tissue all evening.
We saw the pictures of the wedding and we just want to say ConCatulations to you, Latte and Chey and may you have many blissful years together.

On a side note: mommie brought home a noospaper from Blizzie's college. Blizzie does not know anyone that works at the college noospaper and also, Blizzie does not even know we have a blog (she is so busy with college she does not even have time to read our blog anyway) There was an article in the paper about "a cat that blogs" and they wrote an article primarily about a blog called Prince Muddy Paws. ... We will scan the article later this week. My mommie was very shocked to see OUR NAMES mentioned in the article.... very very freaky.

Have a happy day KitCATS!!

Everybody
is somebody else's weirdo.

yeah, :::sigh:::

FROOOOOTBAT Friday

Thursday not Thirteen!!

Caesar: we are waiting.

One day we would love to do a thursday 13... but mommie is driving us nuts over here.
She is in the "May Panic" mode.
Our big bean sister Chrytabelle, is graduating from kollig in 18 days... in Willyaamsburg, Virginia at the kollig of Willyaam and Merrryy or something like that. She is super smart. so mommie is going bananas about going to the graduation, what to wear!! and all sorts of other non-important things, like parties and invitashins and cleening the house!
Also, next week she has to bring the baby Blizzie bean home from her kollig in PeeAy.
Suffice to say, mommie is driving us nuts and what is she doing today?
no, not planning a graduation party, no, not making a packing details list, no not making a list of important things for Slow Sarah to know about when she comes over to take care of us while they are gone to Willyaamsburg. no. she is....

skating >O_O< the nerve!

We hope you have a very happy day today.
Love, Caesar

Wednesday at the window

Princess:
I like this window.


I can relax here (see how mommie put these great little ruggies on the wide sill? I love her for that even though, a-choo, they need to be washed) and if I look out the window I can see the silly neighbor's bird feeder with the bloo birdies flying around.

Mommie is home today doing her duties... a little stiff. She fell on the ice yesterday and rebruised her old bruise on her arm, hahahahahaha silly mommie
Ice, mommie, ICE. Ibuprofen too, okay?

I hope everycat has a super fun Wednesday
Can I just say... right now, we really really like our blogging friends here. You kitties are so great.
You are loved by us <3

In memory of those we lost

incredibly borrrrrring Sunday

Princess:
Gorgeous day outside but the beans are no where to be found today. again!
Mommie opened the back door for us and we had a chance to see such pretty things in the yard.
Then she went out!

You know what I am ready for?
A snack

Did somecat mention snacks
*meyawwwwn*
give me a minute, let me finish this little dream.... z z z z z

It is in Christ that we find out who we are
and what we are living for.

Too Busy Saturday

Caesar
Happy Saturday afternoon kitties!
Where is everyone? A kitty can't even get a second lunch around here...
Daddie's doing taxes (still. he got an extension and an accountant to help him this year since he has his own business now) and mommie is playing in the dirt outside in the yard.

What's going on at your place?
Are you getting the attention you deserve?

Everyone makes mistakes.
The trick is to make mistakes
when nobody is looking.

Fuzzzzycurleee Froooot-bat Frideeeee

Princess:
Today is finally Friday.

It is raining here and mommie is going to bake oatmeal raisin cookies today.
We love cookies here. yum. We eat lots of them... yeah, we get a little too.
Mom says there is nothing we can do about the need for cookies.
It is hereditary...
Look at grampa here and check out gramma in the back ground stuffing her face too.
see? It's a family thing....
Mommie says it is 'a cross she must bear.'

We hope you have a wondermous terrifical FRIDAY

I want to be a light in your life!
to give you direction,
to show you where to go,
to be with you
even during the dark times of your life.

I stand at the door and knock.
Open the door,
I will come in.

Thursday and the ThinkingBlogger Awards go to....

Caesar:
Well, Prinnie and I worked a long time yesterday doing this awardie thing.
Some of you might have already been awarded by another kitty by now.... because we are rather slow here.

By the way.... my left hip is okay, I have been taking it easy but mommie has been so worried I am taking advantage of it for all it's worth. I got lots of extra helpings yesterday and she spent more time with me than with Princess... and she followed me around waaaay too much and over all, the hovering was tolerable. I am a little stiff but I am fine. I just have to remember not to do that again. owie.

WE want to thank Luxor for giving us this award
We are very honored to have this awardie!!
Okay on to the awardies:

Here are the FIVE kitty bloggies that we think... are thinking and thoughtful bloggies.
There are so many great blogs out there... we could think of at least 20 great blogs, so if we did not pick you .... please do not think that we did not consider you... we just pulled some names out of the big hat of wonderful bloggies. This was too hard, MOL.

1. Suzanne: She started the Sweet 16 club for us older and wiser kitties. We really like that she did this and now we are in the club. She is a very pretty kitty and her mommie is soo nice too.

2. Bogdan Kat3 and Sara: This threesome of perky reporters keep us informed on
everything that is going on at their place. We appreciate that. We like knowing what is going on over there. Right now they are suffering and staying in the fancy kitty ho-tel but still it is hard because they do not have their mommie.

3. DK + the Fluffs: Their bloggie is so health conscious and very pretty. They always have good stuff going on there. Yummy looking peeple food and cute bunnies and of course the adventures of Diva Kitty, she is very sensitive and thoughtful. We think this is a very thoughtful bloggie

4. Perfectly Parker: She is a caring and sweet girl kitty. We like her blog because her mommie visits shelter kitties and they just sponsored a pretty one named buddy. Parker tells us all about these things in a very positive way.

and #5 is Mr. Hendrix: His blogg is always colorful and he has plenty of kind and encouraging words to say about other kitties in bloggie land. We enjoy his blog. He has great pictures too.

pick one
gold or silver
what ever your taste...

Okay... so now each of you haves to pick 5 great blogs!
get crackin'

This was really really hard.
... really difficult.
There are soooo many wonderful blogs we read every day.


<3We hope today is your very best day ever!!

WORD-FULL Wednesday

PRINCESS:
Greetings blogging buddies:

Yesterday morning, Caesar fell off of the bar stool (and he was not nipped out) and he landed on his hind quarters... can't remember which side anymore. Oh my! mommie saw it happen and she was very worried.

She did go to the rink, but only because our daddie was home and he watched over Caesar.Then mommie was home and she worried and hovered over Caesar wondering if she should take him to the V.E.T.... well, today Caesar is walking okay and running a little. He is still on monitoring status though.

Last evening we had video chat because gramma has Annapolis Chorale rehearsals every evening this week except last night so we had video chat. I even came on the camera and said hello to gramma and grampa. Can you see me on my daddie's lap in the little box at the bottom of this screen shot? click to enlarge for viewing enhancement


Lastly but very very importantly....
Luxor nominated us to have this Thinking Blogger awardie thing and now mommie is in a panic (she panics easily, it is pitiful to watch).
A few weeks ago Luna, maine coon kitty and her mommie Stef, nominated mommie on mommies other blog (which she has not been writing on lately because she has been too busy helping us with our blog)
So, she put that Thinking Blogger tag on her bloggie and then Luxie nominated this bloggie and we... well most precisely mommie is saying oh no!!

Thank you very much Luxie for giving us this award
and thinking we are good thinkers.
We are very honored to have this awardie!!

We will nominate 5 bloggies soon... maybe this evening.... maybe this afternoon.... There are so many beautiful wondermous bloggies out here and we have to see who has not been chosen.
I guess the big mistake mommie made was that she did not know what to do with the Thinking Blogger award the first time she got it... so she just plopped it on her own blog and forgot all about it.

Whew.
We hope everyone has a very happy and splendifferous Wednesday
Love, Princess
