After all the catblogging, I decided to take a break and…
catblog.
They were just too cute together I couldn’t resist.
Also in case anyone forgot cat blogging, there’s the Friday Ark, the Carnival of the Cats at Life from a Cat’s Perspective, Weekend Cat Blogging at masak-masak and Bad Kitty Cat Festival of Chaos which is here.
Title graphic thanks to Kashim and Othello, now Bad Kitty Cats Festival Of Chaos gets down and ditzy aided and abetted by some catnip. Every cat should have some.
“Mmm, that catnip is soooo good, yes it is.”
Aww, is that a dog comforting the kitty? I do believe it is.
*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
That’s one itty bitty kitty.
“Mew.”
A pear-shaped cat contemplates the autumnal equinox. What a poetic cat, lovely kitty poetry. Aloysius is one talented cat.
“Hey, watch who you call pear shaped!”
Oh look, a lovely simonize cat doing the Friday thing er playing with a toy. Ah, but is it a cat toy? Isn’t everything?
“I didn’t do it, honest.”
Tuesday Toesies, Tummies and Three Stoned Kitties, what’s not to love.
“Watch this. Tummylicious.”
Rolling in the catnip makes for a Fun Friday. Would make for a fun anyday. If you’re a cat.
“Why you looking at me?”
Better not let this get out, bad for the rep. The Curiously Awesome Cat Man has actually trained cats. Kittycats not big cats.
“Check this out.”
Boredom Leads to Cat House or why you shouldn’t shop at Target when bored. Leads to more work when you get home. Although the cats don’t mind.
“What’s this? Is it for me?”
And on the 8th day, God created the iPod. Seriously every cat should have one. Right! The new iPod Nano is perfect - load it up with kitty videos and he’ll be entertained for hours.
“Mmmm,mmmm.” *purr*
Cat meets skunk and a good time was had by all. Remember the kittens that have crossed over the rainbow bridge.
Bazel enjoys the catnip too. Other kitties didn’t stand a chance.
“My catnip, all mine.”
I so wouldn’t trust Bazel around laundry. Luna kneads which is the proper thing to do. Bazel chews.
*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
Taking a stab here, er one happy cat. Wonder why she’s so happy.
“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.”
WCB: It’s. So. Darn. HOT!! So what does a cat do to beat the heat?
“I’m one sensible cat, I am.”
Cat’s on the prowl. What’s she looking for? Kitty treats? Cat toys? Who knows. Silently she pads her way around.
“Are there goodies inside? Something for me?”
This is one cool cat, good thing Dragonheart has a nice warm bed.
“Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.”
And then there’s Meowza valiantly trying to get to the catnip to no avail.
“My turn, me, mine. Get it.”
All nipped out and napping, Kashim and Othello. They fared better than Meowza, nice kittycats.
“Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.”
More kitties as they submit.

Also, it’s Friday and that means Friday Ark and Sunday’s Carnival of the Cats will be at Life From A Cat’s Perspective. Oh and Weekend Cat Blogging will be at masak-masak.
I could never do that with my kittycats, that being to say adopt or they die. From Yahoo, the details.
A new Web site is seeking to tug more forcefully on the heart strings of people who might adopt abandoned dogs by publicizing how much time is left before an animal is killed if a home has not been found.
The activists behind dogsindanger.com believe theirs is the first Web site to take the approach. They hope that highlighting the fact many unadopted dogs are euthanized by shelters with scarce space will spur people to take them in.
That’s tragic and I imagine lots of kittycats get killed too. If you have to take them to a shelter, there are no-kill shelters. Well mine will just have to stay til I find them a home.
Cause I was out having fun. Have a class Tuesday mornings with this awesome teacher, LeAnn Hunt, which I discovered quite by serendipity. Several weeks back, I had gone out to breakfast with friends and they decided to check out the class afterward and I went along with them. Liked it so much I kept going, was allowed to do that.
Then that afternoon, I went to a cooking class which is way fun cause we get to eat what we cook. Stuff like chocolate pie. Can take home leftovers if we want too. Those that don’t come miss out on a very enjoyable experience. We tend to be talkative too.
Dinner was Ladies Night Out where we ladies got to pig out at a fine restaurant, this time Mimi’s Café (they have a website, why am I not surprised), and trade stories. My favorite was the pie-in-the-ear one. You’d have had to been there. Just know it was a pie fight. Warning: I had the soup, the french onion is wonderful, and petite salad which was not even a little petite. It was huge.
Needless to say, blogging (and my waistline) suffered as a result. Not every Tuesday is like that, just so happened this one was.
Regarding the upcoming Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos, Amar from CatSynth was supposed to host but his grandmother passed away and he has to go to NewYork for the funeral and so Megan was going to do it but then AT&T decided to turn off her service a week before schedule and she’s stuck on dial-up and, obviously, it sucks. So I’m volunteered. And as I do write about the kitties occasionally, she graciously accepted.
And not having looked at the theme which was supposed to be pink or purple, I changed it to CatNip which I thought was more fun.
So to recap, Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos here this weekend, theme CatNip.
Or email festivalchaos (at) gmail (dot) com, your choice.
Laying here on an icepack cause my back is in excruciating pain. Got up from sitting earlier and the pain just hit. Reminded me of the time I bent over and was instantly in pain, herniated another disc back then. Wondering.
Still, I was able to clean up the cat pee on the bread machine (easy, rip off trashbag and put on another) and counter (that required actual work).
Izzy is out. Now.
Anyone want a bad kitty cat?
On second thought, can’t get enough of the kitties and don’t want to deal with the pee, check out weekend cat blogging. Yes, another kitty carnival, so many pretty kitties.
Bad Kitty Cats theme is pillows and Bazel here is definitely laying in the pillows. Pillows on sofa, only kind he’s allowed on.
Washing himself. Clean kittycat.
You know, he is up for adoption. Must get rid of him.
He’s so adorable and adoptable. Cuddly, soft. All fur, fangs and claws.
And it’s a joy to see him not chewing the pillows as he is wont to do. Love the tongue shots.
And lest I forget the weekend fun, Friday was Friday Ark, this weekend’s Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos is at Pet’s Garden Blog and today’s Carnival of the Cats is at This, That & The Other Thing.
New York will now allow illegals to have driver’s licenses. Hopefully, being licensed will mean it will be easier for them to get car insurance. Which insurance would make it easier to collect damages when one of them destroys your car or you in a senseless automobile accident.
Got to think of the upside.
As far as benefits, they get most all of that now anyway.
And will get more if the Dream Act is passed. Said Dream Act will give illegals under age 16 and who are high school graduates automatic amnesty making them eligible for a raft of benefits that they don’t already get. Fast track to citizenship. Must not pass.
In all the bad news we seem innundated with, it’s refreshing to find some good news. KT Cat has another WOG this one focusing on a children’s shelter for neglected, abused children. Apparently, Florida is lacking in that regard and some kind folks aim to fix that.
Thinking of shelters (yeah wrong kind), ours are overloaded. Anyone want a cat or three?
Lazy cat loves to lounge around on me. Guess I’m just a pillow.
Today’s Friday Ark, this weekend’s Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos is at Pet’s Garden Blog and Sunday’s Carnival of the Cats will be This, That & The Other Thing.
Geesh, once he opens his mouth, he can’t just shut up. The latest from Osama bin Laden via Yahoo.
“We in al Qaeda organization call on God to witness that we will retaliate for the blood of … Abdul Rashid Ghazi and those with him against Musharraf and those who help him, and for all the pure and innocent blood,” said the speaker on the recording who sounded like bin Laden.
“So Pervez, his ministers, his soldiers and those who help him are all accomplices in spilling the blood of … Muslims. He who helps him knowingly and willingly is an infidel like him,” bin Laden said.
“It is obligatory (under Islam) for Muslims in Pakistan to carry out jihad and fighting to remove Pervez, his government, his army and those who help him,” he said.
Musharraf has nukes. So is this strictly retaliation or a power grab to get those nukes? Bin Laden would love to have nukes at his disposal. Will be interesting to see how this develops.
Ayman al-Zawahari also had a few words to say. These al Qaida folks are getting rather talkative lately.
Marking the sixth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Zawahri said: “Stand, o nation of Islam, under the victorious banner of the Prophet … and campaign against the crusader banner of (U.S. President George W.) Bush.
And he put in a few words about Pakistan, the Sudan, France and Spain, rather grandiose in his designs on putting the world under Islamic rule. Not going to happen. Got to admit it is a change from all the O.J. news.
I’ve got tummy finally. Kitties on tummy, kitty’s tummy. This is all the tummy Meowza would give me today. So it’s a day late.
So I’ll throw in a little head shot to make up for it.
He was laying on me, so was Keefe. That pair always go for the lap. Come winter, that fur blanket will come in handy. Now, they are a bit too warm.
It would have made a perfect Tummy Tuesday shot had I had the camera handy. But no, after washing the filthy, cat hair covered slipcovers and putting them back on the sofa, I lay down exhausted. Got to take advantage of it being clean. Meowza, Keefe and Jezi wasted no time and proceeded to lay on me.
I was covered with cats and quite trapped. Well, I could move but they wouldn’t like it.
I was petting Meowza and he rolled over on his back exposing his tummy which I proceeded to pet and pet and pet. He allowed me to pet him for some time until he started to slip off my tummy. He changed position then, no more tummy. So no pic.
Meowza was one happy cat and that’s what counts. Isn’t it?
Sometimes justice works the way it’s supposed to. Case in point, the Corrie suit against Caterpillar got nixed.
A federal appeals court panel on Monday refused to reinstate a lawsuit brought against Caterpillar Inc. by the family of peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer.
Because the U.S. government pays for all Caterpillar bulldozers sold to Israel, the lawsuit presented foreign policy questions best left to the White House and Congress, said the three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.
Well, she could have moved out of the way if she didn’t want to get run over. Some background…
Corrie, 23, of Olympia, was run over in 2003 by a 60-ton Israeli bulldozer as she stood before a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip. Her parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, sued Peoria, Ill.-based Caterpillar, which manufactured the bulldozer, seeking to hold the company civilly liable for aiding and abetting human rights violations — the destruction of civilian homes.
Never mind the fact companies should not be held liable for what someone does with their product, only if the product was defective. And as the bulldozer effectly flattened Rachel, wouldn’t appear to have been defective. As to the human rights violations, it should be noted plenty of Jewish homes were destroyed when they were forced to leave the Gaza Strip. Does anyone cry human rights violations when it’s Israelis? No. So why the big fuss if it’s Palestinians?
O.J. arrested and charged with a crime (news is wall-to-wall O.J.) and HillaryCare II, brings back the good old days and soon, well 2009, there may be Clintons in the White House.
Again.
Dare say, I don’t need the refresher on recent history. What’s the saying again, something about not learning from history having to repeat it.
Works for many things. Left hasn’t learned from Vietnam either and would apply the same solution to Iraq. Leaving is not a solution. Surrender. Defeat. What it amounts to. And Iraq is of far greater strategic importance than ‘Nam was.
There’s this whole thing about Islamofascism that should bring back memories of events leading up to WWII. Appeasement never works. When will we ever learn that one?
I so don’t want to see Hillary become President. Especially since the Democrats seem beholden to MoveOn.org. Country would either head so far left as to be unrecognizable or things would stay the same. As in unsatisfactory. Bush (41), Clinton (42), Bush (43), Clinton (?44), no difference.
O.J., well he’ll either get off or he won’t, time will tell. Was reminded victims were his business associates and may not be willing to press charges when the time comes. Guy seems to be made of teflon, charges just don’t stick. Even now, he has friends willing to post bail. Not holding my breath.
“What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas” especially if you are booked into their county jail on charges of armed robbery. OK, it’s a technicality that he’s staying not why he’s staying. That’s all over the news. Sides, the seized weapons are staying in Vegas as is the evidence.
But… after the fact and before being arrested, O.J. had this to say for himself.
“I’m not walking around feeling sad or anything. I’ve done nothing wrong,” Simpson told The Times, apparently while lounging beside a swimming pool. “I’m having a great time.”
Typical. He never did anything wrong. Hope the bail is set high enough so he has a nice long stay in Vegas.
Spent some time cleaning up cat pee on the appliances last night. Usually, I have just to replace the disposable cover and clean up the counter. This time I had to clean up the nearby canister, the window sill, and what was on the window sill too. Later I smelled something awful and went and unplugged the air purifier, had to clean that up too. It’s supposed to purify the air not get peed on. I’m getting really fed up with them. After that, the boys spent the night out, nothing to clean up this morning except usually kitty paw prints everywhere.
Here’s Bazel drinking from the bowl left in the sink. It’s left there so he won’t relieve himself in said sink. There’s no winning with these cats.
And Jezi being Jezi of course. They’re both still available.
For more bad and good kittycats, there’s the Friday Ark, the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos this weekend at the *NEW* Tuxedo Gang Hideout and Sunday’s Carnival of the Cats which will be at the House of the (Mostly) Black Cats. Enjoy.
Email from RightMarch.com said it a lot better than I could so I’m sharing the salient points.
Gen. Petraeus is an emblem of patriotism. He has willingly taken the mandate provided by the President of the United States and the U.S. Congress to serve his country in one of the most difficult missions in the world. Gen. Petraeus is admirably living up to an extremely complicated job of heading up a war effort in a dangerous region of the world. Legislators who voted unanimously to confirm Gen. Petraeus should live up to their duty to give this leader the resources and support that he needs to accomplish the mission entrusted to him.
Supporting Gen. Petraeus and U.S. troops includes condemning unwarranted attacks on the character of this good man — something no national Democrat leader has been willing to do. The vicious attack on him, his commitment to the American people and the integrity with which he leads the Multi-National Force in Iraq ought to go down in history as a disgrace, and must be roundly repudiated from all quarters. It will be seen not only as a reprehensible criticism of Gen. Petraeus but, by extension, those who serve under him, all members of the United States Armed Forces. It is legitimate to ask tough questions of Gen. Petraeus on his testimony — but NOT to question his patriotism — OR the patriotism of every single member of the U.S. military.
Congress needs to step in here and condemn the attack on Gen. Petraeus’ character. You can email your congresscritter if so inclined. I did. For those with money, you can fax all of them if you so choose.
Now that I’ve addressed this travesty I can contemplate that other email for a Conservative Leadership Conference. Sounds good. Mitt will be there. Doubt I could afford it or handle the drive. Pity.
Yes, EMP (nuclear-generated electromagnetic pulse) is a threat especially if terrorists/terrorist states get their hands on a nuclear bomb. It only takes one. Iran could have that one too not that far in the future. Quoting from WND:
“The Defense Department with the strong support of Deputy Secretary Gordon England is pursuing how the federal government can reduce the EMP threat,” he said.
They’re actually taking this seriously.
In a forward to the report, Bartlett noted, “The EMP Commission found that terrorists could perform an EMP attack. A sophisticated intercontinental ballistic missile is not required to make an EMP attack. The EMP Commission found that a short- or medium-range missile, like a SCUD or Iran’s Shahab-3, launched off a freighter, could make an EMP attack on the United States. Iran has practiced such a launch-mode, firing a SCUD missile off a vessel in the Caspian Sea.
“A high-yield nuclear weapon is not necessary to perform an EMP attack that would destroy U.S. critical infrastructures. One of the EMP Commission’s key findings reported to the U.S. Congress is that: ‘Certain types of relatively low-yield nuclear weapons can be employed to generate potentially catastrophic EMP effects over wide geographic areas, and designs for variants of such weapons may have been illicitly trafficked for a quarter-century,’” Bartlett continued.
Critical infrastructure, oh stuff like computers, anything that runs on computers say cars, water, power, air-conditioning, everything from traffic lights to TV to the military’s high-tech weaponry. Stuff like that. Gone. Fried. Would definitely do a job on the economy not to mention my lifestyle. Oh, I could still open a can of cat food but once I ran out, cats would get very hungry. No way to get cat food either. Would be a major hassle. Not a good thing. Thankfully, our government is concerned. Maybe they’ll do something about it.
Gotta give the little monsters credit for brains. Dry cat food was getting low in the dish so one of them knocked over the can of kitty treats, got the lid off, and ate the whole thing.
So now I’m low on kitty treats. I did refill the dish so they have plenty of cat food. Not that that stops them from begging. Keefe begs five minutes after eating. And that’s eating canned kitty food.
Spoiled. Little. Monsters.
Finished my vampire book last night, would have finished it sooner had I not done other stuff and generally been a slow reader. It was only 629 pages long, action and romance packed. Won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it thou.
Now I can hardly wait for the fourth book.
Six years later and bin Laden spoke out again. Briefly, from Yahoo is the gist of it.
Bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader behind the attacks, defied the United States with a new audiotape. On it, he praised “the 19 champions” who hijacked the U.S. planes and crashed them.
And he, along with all the other Islamist extremists, Al Qaida, Hezbollah, Iran, etc. is why we can’t give in to terrorists. We can’t let them win. Civilization is at stake. Sides, I don’t want to live in dhimmitude to them.
Would be nice if our country could be united in fighting this evil. It was once, six years ago.
Isn’t she pretty? Jezi needs a new home. She doesn’t eat much, never goes outside and is friendly sometimes. She also needs to get fixed but I can’t exactly afford that right now.
I need to decrease the number of cats here cause I’m now disabled awaiting appproval of my disability claim. Disability doesn’t pay much, not enough to keep seven cats in food and kitty litter.
Bazel and Izzy also have to go too. Bazel cause he’s too destructive and a big piggie at the dinner table and Izzy cause he is too terrortorial, shreds curtains and pees on the kitchen appliances.
Great reasons to choose them to go I know and not very good pr. But the old cats aren’t exactly adoptable and kid would pitch a fit if I got rid of them. Ritzi stays for the same reason. Sides she is a good kittycat so long as she is not near any of the other cats. And Meowza, kid wants him too so I’m stuck with the loveable lug.
Don’t know how I will be able to afford them either. Kid will have to chip in or they will go too. Geesh, I am a cheerful one this morning.
It’s time for another Carnival of the Cats brought to you by the most adoptable Mr Chew, Mr Pee and Ms Slut all of who have to go.
“I’m an angel and you know it.”
What do orange spots, Q-tips and biscuits have in common?
Miss Lizzie does green. Green is so becoming on a cat.
Fredagskatten wants to help with the dishes. That cat’s welcome here. Bazel would just chew it. He’s no help at all.
Feline Friday cute overload.
Cookies aren’t safe from this cat. Got photograpic evidence to prove it.
Don’t want to take the photographic evidence of Mr Pee’s work, just don’t. Izzy also has the title of Mr Shred for obvious reasons.
“Hey, how do you know it’s me that pees on everything?”
Oh what beautiful claws you have. Stay clear, they’re sharp.
More cute little kitty pics. Is there no end to the cuteness?
Misia displays proper sleep positions.
What a beautiful Baby you are, Tiny too.
Got a question? Ask the Agony Cats.
They’re everywhere. Cats. Project Purr huh, rescueing ferals. Hey Bazel, wonder if they mean you. Rescue me from him.
Her too, she’s a little pest. True she can be nice at times, rest of the time she annoys the boys.
“I can’t get no satisfaction.”
Ohmygosh! Look what’s cooking. Meezers!
Helping with the housework and a perfect tummy shot. A cat’s work is never done.
Cato is running for President and shares this transcript of his speech before the Feline Party of God convention.
What a little catnip will do to some kitties. Silly cat.
Oh yeah, my cats. One good kittycat just one. Give him a chance and he might be bad too.
“I am such a good boy.”
Presenting kitty on a throne. That’s the smart way to enjoy the sun.
And far prettier than Frida Kahlo, one Gigolo Kitty. In flowers, fur, jewelry, GK always looks ravishing.
Enjoying high priced cardboard with added features one can’t get with low priced cardboard, one Matata.
Living in the moment, ah the cat’s life doing what comes most naturally. Naturally.
And responding to the apparent insinuation of guilt, our very own Mr Pee. Wonder who his legal defense team is.
Happily healthy finally and displaying fine tummy, one Lady in Red.
It’s tummys all around for KT Cat. Check the archives for lots more tummy.
Teeming with tummies, here’s another one plus, oh look, another one, there’s definitely a roly-poly tummy there.
And for sheer beauty, I present the Divine Miss Marilyn, she’s one gorgeous cat. My weakness is showing. Hey, my cats are all gray. Dull. Gray.
Clothes aren’t safe from Mean Kitty. I’m surprised she’d admit to that. And that’s why my cats aren’t allowed in my room, clothes are there and I prefer them not chewed or shredded.
Late submissions will be added soon as I add them.
Next week’s Carnival will be at the House of the (Mostly) Black Cats. Email your cats to submissions (at) carnivalofthecats.com or use the Blog Carnival submit form.
Cleaned up cat pee again, getting old. Spent the morning doing dishes and washing up the stuff Izzy peed on. Thankfully I have a short respite. Izzy’s in the garage which is a first for him. He hasn’t wanted to go out very much and has been driving me batty. He and Keefe.
Keefe got outside the other day and couldn’t make up his mind to come back in. I got frustrated and shut the door. He was outside for all of five minutes but that was enough time for him to pee on it. Had to hose the door down.
I’m still loaded with cats, no offers to adopt them either. And Bazel has been taking Izzy’s place in talking to me, he’s so cute when he responds with his little mews. He knows how to get under my skin. Irritating cause it will be that much harder to part with him.
Izzy on the other hand…
Bin Laden has a new video out containing his solutions to the war in Iraq. He only gives two choices.
“There are two solutions to stopping it. One is from our side, and it is to escalate the fighting and killing against you. This is our duty, and our brothers are carrying it out,” bin Laden said, according to the transcript.
“The second solution is from your side,” he said. “I invite you to embrace Islam.”
I don’t think so. Let me get this straight, if I don’t embrace Islam, he will kill our troops. Our troops are far more likely to kill his jihadists than the reverse. The surge is working despite the negative spin the Dhimmicrats are already taking re Gen. David Petraeus’ report. I don’t think anyone need think for their (troops) sake that they have to embrace Islam. Doubt Osama can convert many with his terror tape.
Haven’t read the whole transcript (did download it), not sure I want to. What I did read sickened me. Kindof like the Dhimmicrats. Wonder which is more dangerous to the U.S., Dhimmicrats or Osama. Thinking the former. Obama, Hillary, Harry, Nancy, etc.
Taking a break, was out in the yard earlier attempting to trim a bush which didn’t go so well. I lasted all of five minutes. So, time for a pretty outdoor shot. Meowza of course.
It’s nice when they go outside, quieter too. No cat pee on the kitchen appliances. Very nice.
Tomorrow’s Friday Ark, the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos this weekend is at Astrid & Kashim and Othello at The Catboys Realm and Sunday’s Carnival of the Cats will be here. Email your cats to submissions (at) carnivalofthecats.com or use the Blog Carnival submit form.
Finally they made the iPod like the iPhone, the iPod touch is what they’re calling it. Now if it only came with a bigger hard drive, only 8 and 16GB models. I surpassed my 20GB iPod some time ago and that was without pics.
Still it has Wi-Fi and one can surf the web with it. And it is very pretty. Has that gorgeous Cover Flow too just like the iPhone. Fewer widgets but with people making widgets for the iPhone, should work for the iPod too.
Nice.
