Bad Girl

Haha! I really terrorized the staff over the last couple of days! I stayed out two nights in a row! When the maid and the butler came around Thursday afternoon and called me with promises of shrimp I just gave them “The Look” and walked away. Nothing they can do about it. Sometimes they trick me, though. They call Karl – and that do-gooder-I-am-such-a-people-cat” always comes when they call. And lets himself being picked up. Anytime! I never allow that outside the house. Sometimes not even inside the house. Anyways – they call Karl and pick him up and carry him in while telling him about the wonderful shrimp and beef treats that he will get. So naturally I have to follow! And then I can’t get out anymore. But not Thursday! And I stayed out and had such a good time that I did it again Friday night. I had shown myself during the day though – don’t want to scare the staff too much. But I heard how the butler gave the maid some medicine out of the big brown bottle (Konjaak, I think they call it) Friday night so she could sleep and not worry again all night long. Hahahahahaha – got to show them who is in charge sometimes!

( I might stay in tonight. I am kind of tired. And hungry. And thirsty. And I know they will just fawn over me all evening long!)

Fashion Friday

Worldless Wednesday

Thank You So Much Everybody...

...for attending our BBQ! It was a meowing success and we will make it a regular event!!!
Unfortunately Karl had a bit too much too fast to eat and got really sick... (see picture) or maybe it was the Tequila?
I am sure he will be better tomorrow and then we will visit everybody who came for a personal thank you note!
And who brought that Tequila? I have a dog of a headache myself - it did not go well with the nip....

Lizard BBQ at The Cat Realm!!!

The lizard hunt was very successful and we are having a lizard BBQ!
Everybody is invited, so come on over and let's have a feast!!!

Fashion Friday

Don't get confused - we are posting this today because we will be on a lizard hunt tomorrow with a couple of friends and only be back Saturday afternoon.
Sorry - we will not be able to visit any of you until then either. At what point we will have a LOT of catching up to do!

Show your Catity and help our friends, the dogs by signing the petition to stop Puppy Mills!!!

Karl says

I am overwhelmed!
Thank you so much everybody for your wonderful and concerned comments about my encounter with the Bobcat, it makes my heart swell to realize how many wonderful friends I found in this short time that I am in this wonderful community!
Loud Purrrrrrrrrs to all of you!
I live out in the Sonoran Desert, and there is abundant wildlife around, including Bobcats (yes, plural!) and rattlesnakes (Anastasia has scary encounters with those as she thinks they are toys...).
But I was an outside cat all my life and would feel like I am in prison if I couldn't go out anymore. I did convince the maid - who was toying with the thought of us being inside cats because of the dangers outside - to go for a compromise: we only go out during the day.
O.k. once in a while we are not thinking and let the genes get the better of us and just don't come in in the evening. The maid and the butler don't sleep well at those occasions....
Thank you all again, we are very glad and honored to have found such wonderful friends!

Cats on Tuesday: Scary Encounter!

Karl escaped the big bad bobcat again!
No one really knows what happened: Karl doesn’t want to talk about it and I didn’t see it because I was hiding. But I heard the butler telling the maid that he saw the bobcat chasing Karl! So the butler chased the bobcat and then Karl showed up at the stairs where we all were a while later.
His heart hammered! And he looked around a lot and then he hid in the shed for the rest of the day.
We don’t like bobcats. They killed a friend of ours and ate him! That is horrible…
We asked caricature who writes that fabulously educational Blog about cats if he could post something about bobcats – but we don’t know if he will have time and do it…

For Suzanne

We just heard the bad news from Daisy, so we will drop everything and spend the rest of the day in memory of beautiful Suzanne. We know you have peace now. Our thoughts are with your Mom in this hard time! Daisy was nice enough to allow us to share her beautiful card.

Sleepy Sunday

We know - it's a bit late, Sunday is almost over....
But we slept all day.... We even forgot to put on our glasses.... And yes, we were at Parkers party ....

Saturday Photo Hunt # 1: Shoes

Fashion Friday

I will model one of my wigs every so often on Fashion Friday. Here is the first of many to come.
As I am an "ex-feral" I think this also qualifies under Formerly Feral Friday....?

Disturbing News!!!

It seems that a human is invading cat privacy in the most horrifying way:
A German engineer, Juergen Petzold, currently living in South Carolina, has forced a camera on his boss, Mr. Lee, to document his whereabouts at all times! We think this is outrageous!
See the German article in Spiegel here.
And here is Mr. Petzold’s website, with links to the pictures of his criminal act on the bottom.
We encourage everybody to write a protest letter in the name of Mr. Lee!
We sure did. Let others know you did too:

O.K.
Just this once, here is a picture of me without glasses.
