Rain, rain, rain

July 10th, 2009

Sometimes it rains and when it does there’s a few things we like to do:

  • Sleep
  • Eat
  • Nap
  • Lift our noses in the air and sniff a little
  • Groom
  • Scratch the couch

And last but not least:

  • Play cards

If you have a minute let us know what you like to do when it rains.

Have a great weekend,

Secrets of Daredevil Cats

July 9th, 2009

In our book “The Devious Book for Cats” we have a chapter entitled “The Secrets of Daredevil Cats” where we talk about how it is cats can survive long falls.

We’ve been known to fall twenty stories and walk away, you know.

Some of it deals with complex physics principles and some of it is anatomy, we’ll give you a couple reasons here:

  • No collarbone - this is huge in a tough landing, Evel Knievel had two collarbones and he broke them both.
  • Low terminal velocity - we take it nice and easy, even in falls.
  • Right every time - this is the physics stuff and we won’t make you yawn but it has to do with a manuever we execute that allows us to land on our feet every time and ensure we don’t just tumble through the air.

Probably the biggest thing about us that allows cats to pull off these spectacular feats though is the following:

  • We’re special

Til tomorrow Daredevils!

Rock hard cat abs

July 7th, 2009

There’s a fair amount of us who are called fatcats, wide-loads and the like by humans.

Not nice.

But there’s one cat we know named BB that has rock-hard abs. We don’t know how he does it but that cat has a six-pack! We’ve never seen him do cat crunches or any kind of cat-adominizer bought from late night television so that’s not it.

We did see him near a copy of Men’s Health the other day so maybe that’s it. We won’t be reading Men’s Health.

Talk to you tomorrow,

Well, one thing’s for sure - if they’re in there Albert wouldn’t know, he’s too busy soaking up the sun in the window right above them.

That’s all for today - please let us know where you’re finding the monsters at - til next time.

Have a great day,

A day in the life of the Three Kings

July 2nd, 2009

img_17491We’d thought it would be fun to look in on our old friends Albert, Freddie and BB King today and see what happens during a typical day for them.

So, this guy is lying on the floor….

 

 

 

 

 

 

img_17462BB, as usual, doesn’t much seem to care. He sits at his post with his typical regal flair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

img_1750And Albert’s doing his usual, too-cool-for-school thing. That leaves…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

img_1747FFFreddie! He’ll take care of that little dude.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that’s it, a day in the life of the Three Kings, tune in tomorrow for when we open the pantry door!

-Fluffy & Bonkers

Oh well.

June 30th, 2009

We aren’t usually bad on purpose. Take this for instance:

img_17451

How were we supposed to know this chair wouldn’t even hold up to the normal rigors of sharpening one’s claws? It wasn’t that we were TRYING to destroy the chair but the four “scratching” posts we are supposed to use are boring and just don’t provide the same thrill.

Guess we’ll have to find a new chair soon, this one’s just about had it.

Til tomorrow, have a great day!

img_1744

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’s a good chance they’re back there somewhere!img_1741

We have to listen to a lot of radio

June 26th, 2009

When our humans leave for the day they leave the radio on for us. It’s done as a gesture of kindness but really its more like torture.

There isn’t much we really like: classical music is ok but to get to it we have to listen to the droopy voices on NPR for half the morning.

This weekend promises to be a real endless tribute yawner, too.

See you on Monster Monday,

Fluffy & Bonkers

Man is it hot

June 24th, 2009

No doubt about it, man is it hot. Yesterday we looked out the window and could see the trash man sweating as he picked up the garbage and the mailman was dripping as he delivered the mail and the guy who we watched change a flat tire out on the road, he was just soaked!

Lucky we had the air on but even with that we had to take a break every so often and go lie on the cool kitchen tile for awhile.

Ever,

Fluffy & Bonkers

How are we supposed to get anything done around here?

June 23rd, 2009

Humans often have a hard time identifying when we’re busy. They just want to do their thing and have no regard for how that might impact us. Take our friend Albert here, for instance:

img_1719

He was busy taking a nap on a lap then all of a sudden he’s rudely interrupted by the person leaning forward to type. How rude!

It’s a miracle anything ever gets done, with these humans in the way and bothering us all the time.

Sigh,

Fluffy & Bonkers
