It's spring (almost) and the cows are grazing like crazy. This is our "Jersey" cow Rocky about to take a nip at some fresh greens. I planted some grass last week and it is so tall I may have to mow it soon if the cow doesn't get his act together! Yes, it is all about the cat here at Wilkerson Manor.
Thomas is a very sweet boy and very gentle...although, he is a hunter. This looked like a bird, and sounded like a bird, but it didn't smell or taste like a bird. Some kitties are very patient with us humans.
Mr. Rocky has some pretty wild habits that seem to invade his body around 1 AM when I am sitting here at the computer. What he is really doing is trying to bug me so I will go to bed. He is very controlling and likes me/us to adhere to his routine: Up at dawn to feed him his wet cat food (with meds in it), lap sitting with Dad until I get up. Then, he rushes right in to the edge of my chair mat and sits there until I come to give him some Greenies. After he has us both up and he has had his morning needs met, then he runs off to go have a morning snooze!
As I said, he doesn't like me staying up too late, and so he runs in between my legs and under my chair, under the computer hutch and out, with a mad dash up and down the hardwood hallway. As you can imagine, that running up and down the hallway makes a lot of noise in the middle of the night. Rocky's just having "fun" but last night his fun caused a major outage of our phones.
That little stinker undid the cable phone line behind the desk as he was making his way through the snarls of spaghetti back there. I knew the phone was working fine at 11 PM last night, but this morning when Jim went to call his dad in Iowa for their weekly chat, the only phone that was working was the corded phone by the computer.
After mulling it over for a while, and using our common sense, I finally remembered the late night strafing run behind the desk. Jim crawled under the desk and made sure the lines were tight in the wall. I guess when the cable guy was here he did a haphazard job of tightening all the screws.
Rocky's not in real trouble or anything. He was just being a wild kitty on the savanna chasing imaginary gazelles, or something like that...
There I was, sleeping like a good cat boy, and then here comes Mom crawling on her belly to within inches of my paws. ::::Flash::: There she goes again with that flashy thing. Sheesh! Can't a guy get some rest? I'll get her back though...In the middle of the night I will paw at the blankets and try to get under the covers with her. Then, when I've awakened her just enough, I'll jump down and go meow around the house. It's so much fun torturing humans.
Hello to my new furry friend *Harley, and all my other furry cat friends who visit here. Today is Furry Friday. Why? Because I think it should be. I am a cat, and you must do as I say. I went chair climbing tonight and mom brought out that flashy thing and I fooled her, I wouldn't look at it. Ha! I am one tough Rock! *Meet Daisy's new brother Harley and Daisy the Curly Cat by clicking here.
It's Sunday, and I am being lazy. About all I have done today is cook breakfast, and attend to the cat's needs. Later we are going out for dinner at Anthony's for our friend's birthday. It will probably be for our 38th anniversary too, which falls on Tuesday next week.
I thought you might enjoy a little slide show of Rocky today. He isn't all dressed up in anything but his "tux". Not like Daisy the Curly Cat in her raincoat or anything. He is just a nice little kitty boy who loves his mom and dad, and Greenies! (Rocky says, "Please excuse the messy house. Mommy is such a slob!")
It's been a fairly boring week around here for catz. Hi, this is Rocky and I am in cat hell-o because my mommy is so busy with that clicky clicky tapity tap thing all day that she rarely gives me any attention. Sometimes though, she puts my snakey in the catnip and the two of us go wild. Me and the snake. Mom is still boring.Gotta love her though, she buys me Greenies!
I look innocent up there, don't I? No, I am just figuring out how to put the strangle hold on this terribly dangerous snake hopped up on nip. For my next move....
I can stand on my head...almost!
Now I've got you, you nasty old snake. Take that, and that, and that. Grrrr!
And the win goes to the guy in the tuxedo....Rocky, the old geezer cat who still has what it takes to kill giant coral snakes and an occasional fake mouse. Go Rocky!
That Daisy the Curly Cat girl would be impressed! Daisy, I think you are wonderful and so does my mommy, so we have a nice snake cheezeburger waiting for you if you should visit from Florida.
Woohoo! Look at me! My picture has been featured on One Million Pet Pics. Do you have a special pet that you would like featured too? All you have to do is click on the link included here and ask nicely (purr if you are a cat) if you can be included. OMPP is a very fun idea and sure to be a hit when the word gets out.
Not so long ago, I was hiding under a blanket in my favorite chair, positive that no one would find me. That was a couple weeks ago when it was snowy and cold outside.
This week we had some sunny days and I took full advantage of them, as you can tell from this picture. My mom showed me a really cute kitty girl named Daisy the Curly Cat and said that she writes her own blog.
Ms. Daisy
She must be one of those evolved kitties with opposable thumbs, or she lets that lizard write for her. Maybe it's like that Geico one that can walk on two legs? Speaking of legs, I hope Daisy likes this picture of me. Don't you think my leg is sexy? I know it looks like I am sleeping, but one tiny little rustle of the Greenies bag and my eyes are open and I am out of this cat bed like a shot!
