A Visitor

A while ago we had the strangest adventure ever and today we want to tell you about it.
We were outside, greeting the new day, when all of a sudden something appeared in the sky.


Unfortunately the landing didn't go smoothly and the thing got tangled up in our cactus.

We ran over to see what it was - and by then the parachutist had freed himself.

He introduced himself and said that he was with the 13th airborne brigade of rabbit reconnaissance checking for new salad fields. And from the air he mistook our nip for salad, hahahahahahahahahahahaha. His name is Ronaldo.
Mrs. OZ offered a cup of hot tea...


...but Ronaldo declined and said he will just call his brigade to pick him up and asked if he could wait inside for them. So I invited him in to my day hangout on the butler's work table, where he tried some nip (and decided to stick with salad) ...

... and we talked a bit about traveling -

- and while we waited for his brigade to pick him up we exchanged email addresses so we can keep in contact.

It just shows to tell you - you never know what might fall out of the sky, sometimes it might be a new friend!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends, old and new, past and future, close and afar.
Thank you for your friendship and the joy you bring into our lives!

Karl supervises me when I am outside - I already caught and ate a mouse!!! Tintin is just checking if Karl needs help.


Tintin supervises us inside, he adores Luna!

And Mrs. OZ is in charge in the kitchen.... Karl eats downstairs at the butler's place - he can only take so much of us three ginger cats...

...but he does let Luna cuddle with him!

And here we are, trying our paws on the blogging at the butler's computer....

...in order to produce more posts for later!
Thank you for your attention,
your Naughty.

No, don't worry, we won't! But please, address us as "Most Honorable" and fall to your knees next time we meet. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA!
We will give every award only to one cat/dog, and just for this time keep it in the family actually.

And we hand it on to our bestest man Opus.

Camie's Kitties, Toulouse and Fin handed out the "Butterfly Award" to us.
This goes to our friend
Momo.

And she gives this to
Sassy.

From Karen Joe we got this "I love your blog" award.
And we give it to

Accepting Some Dares....

We decided to try some of the Dares ourselves. Here we go:

Fiona Bun
I dare you all to post a baby picture of you and your human slave(s)!

the maid on the left, our first picture of Tintin on the right

Colby and Cheddar, The Cheezits
We dare you all to get your humans to meet other animal’s humans that they haven't ever met to meet IN REAL LIFE! Of course, they should be in the same State, and the more of your humans that get together the better!


When the maid was in New York last time, she visited Asta's Mom.
Again the maid on the left, Asta in the middle and Asta's Mom on the right.

Derby
I dare you all to catch a mouse or other intruder in your home and show a picture of you and it together!

Even without upper canines Mrs. OZ managed to get this hummingbird
which was dumb enough to fly into the house...

Isis
I dare all you mancats to dress up like girls and have your photos taken for all to see!

You might remember that Ruis and I already
did this Dare
on our safari with the CCSI executives...

Zoolatry
I dare you all to be different!

What it would be like to be a different-kind-of-cat (animal)-for-a-day. You don't have to use photoshop to participate, maybe the background in your picture, or your words can tell the story...

Tintin wanted to give this one a try...

Karen Jo
I dare you all (animals and humans) to post a picture of yourself in a hat!
It can be real or photoshopped, but real is preferable.

And Mrs. OZ could of course not resist this one.
Sorry Karen Jo, but we only do photoshop dress up
.

Samantha and Mr. Tigger
I dare you all to make a self-Doodle portrait of yourself. It can be in any form abstract, cartoon, drawing, a picture you have taken with a camera and add doodles to it! Any form works!


This is not so much a doodle but a drawing.
And it is not of myself but of my sweet Anastasia.

But I really wanted to show it and hope it counts...


Thank you everyone who participated for some wonderful Dares and some great acceptances!
We will Dare you again next year, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Your Karl

Brunch in New York

After the fabulous Halloween party in New York we decided to take Asta and her friend Lacie out for brunch at Asta's favorite restaurant Pastis . We had forgotten to bring a change of clothes so we are still in our costumes, hahahahahahahaha! And the reason we only post this today is that we only got the pictures from Sassy today....
The boys (
Opus, Karl, Ruis, Tintin) picked Asta and Lacie up at Asta's home...

picture by Sassy

...while the girls (Mrs. OZ, Sassy, Momo) waited at the restaurant.

Then the girls got into the niptinis and the guys took off for a shopping spree on Fifth Avenue at the Apple Store and they brought us all ipods. Tintin also purchased a hat.

With dusk approaching we finally hopped on the MFV again for our trip home so we can all post our peace globe tomorrow, November 6!
