It’s My Birthday!

Posted on May 5, 2008 by Tamra Maew

Today is my birthday! I think I’ve come a long way since I posted that first picture of myself back in June 2007… In fact, now that I think about it…

… it all started on a sad evening near the end of June when my furr brother and sister left with their new slaves. It was dark outside, pouring rain, with all happiness in the world being washed away by the tears running down my face when suddenly a loud buzzing noise filled the room. Two very incompetent looking humans walked in and one began to rub me against his face while sniffing me. I felt my little heart bounce up and down with joy when they returned to take me home, even though I knew I’d have a lot of training to do with these two.

Thankfully my servants knew the basics and immediately provided me with mice to play with. Still, there were times when I needed to discipline them or remind them that my beauty was not to be ignored. When it comes to food, they are still incompetent to this very day, forcing me to steal coffee or alcoholic beverages on a daily basis.

Sleeping arrangements have always been adequate and in fact I even claimed my own chair in the house! The humans also encouraged my artistic talents by helping me get on the big YouTube Screen with my Halloween Movie. Still, if you look at my List of Favorite Things, the humans often try to prevent me from enjoying them and thus require further disciplining.

As I continue to age I also continue to acquire more and more wisdom. I’ve therefore diversified my disciplining techniques to also include punishment in the form of mischief. Climbing the screen, knocking down clothes in the closet, or shredding the chair, are just some of my better ideas. If they wish to retain my affections, they have no choice but to learn from their mistakes and reward my mischief with gifts, such as when I got my collar!

If discipling my human servants wasn’t enough to keep me busy for an entire year, there was also the matter of the alien invasion I had to take care of… I also had to constantly keep a very close eye on the pickle monster in my house… You would think after making these sacrifices on my part for the betterment of humanity and my household I would be rewarded, but again my servants went and proved their incompetence by going and brining home Griffin…

All in all, while I made some progress in training my servants in my first year, I still have a lot of work left ahead of me in the next year! With the way Griffin has been Growing Like a Weed, he may soon prove to be a formidable ally in my quest to train the incompetent servants. Of course, I may have my work cut out for me training him as well…

Here’s my furr Mom and Dad wishing me a Happy Birthday!

I’d love to stay and chat some more but Griffin say’s he wants to show me something in the office. He says he has a plan for mischief he wans to give me for my birthday that involves stealing clothes pins…! The only thing that could beat that is if the servants bring me an empty box tonight for me to play in!

Cheering the Montreal Canadiens

Posted on April 25, 2008 by Griffin

Me and Tamra have been watching NHL hockey with the servants since the start of the playoffs. We’re cheering for the Montreal Canadiens!

Go habs go! Go habs go!

While watching the game, I decided to ask Tamra what would happen if we cheered for the other team? Right now they are playing the Flyers, and I have recently found birds and flies to be interesting since the start of Spring.

I suggest you all cheer for the Montreal Canadiens. I found out the hard way what would happen

As you can see, the referee finally had to separate us! The ref warned that if we kept roughing we would get a 2 minute penalty in the PTU!

Meezer Rule: If you’re gonna rough up the opponent, make sure you aren’t sitting on the referee’s lap or you’ll always get caught!

Griffin Growing Like a Weed

Griffin is growing at an alarming rate! In fact, if he keeps this up he may soon be bigger than me. This is bad because he is obsessed with chewing my tail. If he’s bigger, I’ll obviously always be smarter and sneakier and so I’ll be able to avoid his tail attacks while I’m awake. My main concern is that while I sleep that fatso will squash me in attempt to eat my tail! I do not approve of him messing up my beautiful furrs.

Meezer Rule: When your brother is a fatso, sleep with one eye open to protect your beautiful furrs!

Here are some pictures showing his alarming size increase…! Did I mention he even steals my food?

Go habs go!

Also, thank you Karl from The Cat Realm for the Valued Friend Award!

Perhaps Not an Alien…

Posted on April 1, 2008 by Tamra Maew

After carefully reviewing the evidence, I’ve come to the conclusion that Griffin is not a viscous predatory alien. In fact, my observations have led me to believe that he is perhaps more of a hazard to himself than anyone around him. Unlike the aliens, you can see below that he is far more fascinated with his own feet than world domination.

While I was initially uncertain of his true intentions when he first invaded my territory, I’ve come to realize he is nothing more than a tiny goof ball with no evident purpose in any of his actions. For the most part, he will just wander around aimlessly, bumping into things, purring and licking peoples faces. Given the proper training from his older, much more beautiful and smarter sister, he could perhaps become a useful tool. One day, he may very well get to sit by my side on the servants desk while we plot evil mischief to punish the servants for their constant incompetence.

Of course, Griffin still can’t quite reach the desk yet! In fact, he got to try on his collar recently and it can still slip right off his head!

For such a tiny little fellow, he sure can produce a lot of heat when he naps! The servants think it’s cute when I snuggle with him, but my taking advantage of his heat for personal comfort should not be misconstrued as appreciation for his presence. For the time being, I will continue to tolerate him with the hope that he should prove useful in the future.

Worse Than Vishus Deer!

During this time of the year, the Easter Lily is a very popular flower. Make sure to remind your servants to keep them out of your home because they can be very poisonous to cats!

In fact… Lilies are even worse than vishus deer!

Please spread the word!
