Mancat Monday

Mom took a bunch of pictures of me lying on the deck on Saturday morning and I posted one of them that day.    Here is another one: I look rather Regal, Mom says.    It was pretty Manly of me to be lying there like that because parts of the deck were pretty wet.   We had quite a bit of rain last week, and are really hoping this week will have NO RAIN!    That way some of the poor people with flooded houses can get a little relief.

9-11 We Remember

(Mom here borrowing the blog)

We remember and honor all those who lost their lives or were injured on, or because of,  9-11-01.     We also honor all their loved ones who were left behind, and all the first responders.     We will not forget your sacrifice.    

During August of 2001 we visited Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty and took a picture of the World Trade Center Twin Towers.    Little did we know that less than a month later the towers would be gone.     The picture is the only one we have, rather hazy, but here it is.  Many of those who were killed were there at work on that day.

Edited to add:   We visited the same places a week ago and here is how it looks now, from about the same  place.    You can try matching up the buildings and see what is new, if you like.

Easy Weekend Decktime

Tomorrow we want to remember those who died on September 11th 2001.  So we are posting late for Saturday and early for Sunday on easy time on the deck.  We have had a ton of MORE rain here this week with TS Lee's remnants, so this was the first we got out on the deck in many days.

Simba's version:

and Audrey's version (she has discovered the patio chairs are comfy!):

Mo Cats Day

It is September 9th and we join with others everywhere to help proclaim today is Mo Cats Day.    

We have done our part by adding Audrey to our family this summer, so now we have MO CATS who live here!!

Can you believe that somebody said 9/9/09 should be NO cats day?    RIDICULOUS!!!

Whisker Hump and Wordless Wednesday

Two on Tuesday

The humans had a really nice visit with Audrey's first Mom and her husband.  The time went by very quickly, but we did all get a lot of decktime.     Although Audrey and I can get a bit hissy with each other when we get too close, we can also get along well too.   Here we were teaming up to ask to go back inside:

Yesterday on Labor Day we didn't Labor at all, but caught up on our napping - kind of a delayed Easy Sunday.  

Simba Signals on Sunday

Simba:  You keep posting pictures of AUDREY!   It is MY blog, you know!

Mom:  Okay, Simba, today we will post a picture of you and show your friends how you wait quite patiently in the doorway of the bathroom signaling that you want to be fed.    You are much more patient about it than Audrey, who makes her wish for a meal felt loud and clear and often!

Have a great, Easy Sunday, all my friends, and a non-labored Labor Day.    Try to get some barbecue foods out of your humans!

Photo Hunt - Wrong

We kitties feel it is SO WRONG that the humans have plastic mesh blocking off the stairs to the deck, so we cannot go down into the yard at will.    Simba sometimes jumps over, but Audrey hasn't learned that trick yet.     Yesterday she did observe Simba doing it, though, and she is a fast learner.

Full Tummy Friday

Kitties, I did a BAAAAD thing.     You see, the hoomans have to feed Simba in the bathroom because he eats slowly and I eat really fast.  Also, sometimes Simba just nibbles at some of his food and then later comes back for more.   So sometimes the humans leave his food in the bathroom with the door closed.

Well, Mom was going in and out of there for various reasons, getting ready for our visitors.  (Yes, my FIRST Mom and her husband are visiting for the weekend).   She must have not closed the door completely.  Anyway, she realized I had gotten quiet and wasn't following her around trying to beg a meal like I usually do.  It was about 3 pm.   When she went into the bathroom she saw TWO EMPTY BOWLS - both Simba's wetfood bowl and half a bowl of dry food were completely empty!!!!  Kitties, I had eaten it all!

I went into a total food coma for HOURS.  I was like a lioness who had eaten a whole water buffalo and had to sleep it off.  I didn' t wake up at dinnertime at all!!!  I slept till about 9 pm and then made a halfhearted appeal for my dinner.    Mom says I probably weight 2 lbs more.   My first Mom is going to be very disapproving when she gets here!
