Caturday: Evil cats

It began at 0412 this morning. I sleep on my side. As any cat, dog or child person knows, this position would be better called the protecting-the-bladder position. Moving objects bouncing off your bladder at a high rate of speed at that hour is nightmarish. So there I was. Sleeping. I was dreaming away and then it happened. I awoke to find Titanescu creeping from his normal spot on my hip (yes, he sleeps there) to my ribcage. Tito was perched on my hip (oh joy) and Miss Jenny was playing Queen of the Mountain and standing on my head yelling “mee ou”. Then it happened. Titanescu reverted to butthead mode and decided to have a major slappy paws moment with Tito. Biff! Bam! Smack! At that moment, Jenny hopped over to the nightstand. Just as I got the boys to quit trying to slap the crap out of each other, she jumped. She landed right in the middle of them, ricocheted off to bounce OVER Lastech and jetted off down the hallway, but only after smacking into the wall heater with a loud crash. Tito and Grumpy Butt followed. Evil buttheads!

They were hungry, of course. Lastech slept through it.

They looked guilty when I caught them. I guess Titanescu and Tito really WERE plotting.

Definitely plotting! Miss Jenny is only pretending to sleep.

Yes, I fed them. The original feeding time was 0530. However only humans deal with the idiocy called Daylight Savings Time. Cats have their own clock and by their reckoning, they know that feeding time is now 0430. They’re gonna make darned sure I don’t miss it.

And now for some cute corgi puppies.

Caturday: Post Thanksgiving edition

We hope everyone had a wonderful day. On Friday, Lastech had to work and I wasn’t going anywhere near a mall. I shopped on Black Friday once. It was before it was called Black Friday and it was an accident. While I take pride in being frugal, I’m not THAT intent on saving a dime or two. Instead, I spent the day with the pointy eared people. Lastech took these photos.

I know that most of you are familiar with the Simon’s Cat videos at Youtube. Here is a video of his real kitties who provide him with a lot of inspiration.

Caturday: go figure…

Note from Rudha-an: Lastech wrote most of this post. I wrote the bit about Titanescu. It was a joint effort, but he did most of the work. 🙂

Miss Jenny has been picking up an annoying habit lately. Some time at night, she’ll pick up one of her balls with her front paws then toss it or just drop it.  The sound of her hard plastic toy with the pieces of tin inside hitting the floor wakes me instantly.

I now hide the toy in question every evening. But that got me thinking about all the odd stuff the pointy eared ones do. Once in a while I’ll find a present on the bed near my pillow. Nothing gross, just odd… Jenny leaves me the occasional wine cork or curiouser yet, the odd potato.

Why? What goes on behind those blue peepers? The Boober had his own eccentricities. Like loving my singing Corsican songs to him. From across the room he’d look up wide eyed then amble over to sit on my chest purring. I couldn’t begin to tell you how we started this routine, he and I, let alone why he only reacted to this particular type of song.

Kitsy the Space Oddity rabbit kicked me the first time I blew raspberries on his gut, but he grew to enjoy the attention. With him, it wasn’t just one odd thing. The way he did everything was strange and entertaining.

Rest in peace our babies. We miss you

Tito likes to spoon water off the fountain with his paw to drink it. And when he begs for food it’s usually for another cat. Go figure…

Rudha-an: Titanescu is still showing us who he really is. His real oddities will shine through at some point.

Titanescu having a nap with dad. This is very dangerous. If Lastech wishes to move, he must do so VERY slowly or risk multiple lightning fast paw strikes. Titanescu does NOT like to be disturbed

Why are the pointy eared people so weird at times? The video says it all. 🙂

Caturday: An adorable milestone

It’s Caturday again and Time for the pointy eared people to shine.

Tito is as good natured as ever
Tito is as good natured as ever

If you visit often you’ll know that we adopted a crotchety older kitty earlier this year. We alternate between calling him Titanescu and Titanus Grumpicus Bunny Butt. He spent the first month hissing and swatting at the other two. Then it was reduced to the occasional half-hearted swat. Finally, they could sleep within a foot of one another for at least 10 minutes without a slapfest.

Then I saw this:

The amazing thing is that Jenny and Titanescu are facing each other. To date, the only did this with their backs to one another.

Then it went to this:

Yes, they slept face to face. The stayed that way for an hour and there was never any slappy paws.

The above is a milestone as this pic shows what Titanescu is normally like. 🙂

Cute warning! Be sure watch until the end though. My thanks to a Facebook friend who shared this with me. 🙂

Caturday: Cute and rude

I’m hoping to post more often now. I started a project almost a year ago that took up far too much time but I finally finished it. I have a new project, but there’s no time limit and I can do a bit here and there. I’m hoping to have the rest of the pics from our Angel Island trip posted soon.

Now it’s time for the pointy eared people to shine.

Tito is always cute

Miss Jenny can be adorable. Not this time. She has her WMD aimed at Lastech

Titanescu, on the other hand…

Вы думаете, что я симпатичный. Прикасайся ко мне! Смею вас! Тогда вы узнаете, насколько мило я на самом деле.

This is just a random bird pic. I was at the park a while back and this Steller’s Jay collecting peanuts.

Caturday: Love is in the air?

Having love in the air is better than Miss Jenny’s farts, that’s certain. 🙂

There’s something missing from that photo though, and here it is:

Tito, Jenny and Titanescu
While not exactly lovey, Titanescu is sharing the cushion with Tito and Jenny. He IS trying to pretend that they aren’t there however.

This is a major step for our little grumpy Titanescu and it’s happening more and more. Our pointy eared people are spending more time in close proximity to one another.

Caturday: Bed hogs…I mean cats

As anyone with cats knows, they spend most of their time sleeping followed by going berserk for about ten minutes. Sadly, their manic moments usually occur at 0400 when we’re sound asleep at which point we become trampolines. As a result, it’s usually easy to get pics of them being lazy, but not playing.

Tito
Tito is now spending more and more time on the bed, rather than hiding in the other room.

Titanescu has such a funny look on his little fur face that I giggle just looking at it.

For your amusement (or horror) I now present a video by cyriak. It begins with cobwebs, but in true cyriak fashion, it ends up with a lot more and gets very weird. 🙂

Just in case the video creeped you out, here’s some cuteness to make the “ick” factor go away.

Caturday: It’s all in the eyes

Another Caturday rolls around and we’ve gone from having a heatwave to having a very cool spell. The pointy eared people are happier, at any rate.

This post is running late as Tito wanted lots of attention and it’s impossible to type around a cat with terminal elevator butt. Of course, he got a lot of scritches and pettings. As you can tell from the title, the theme is “eyes” today.

Tito
Here’s Tito looking calm and quite lovely
Miss Jenny
Lastech managed to get this photo by pretending to take pics of Tito.
Titanescu
Lastech took this pic of Titanescu. It’s amazing as Titan has his eyes wide open instead of half shut and looking grouchy. He really IS a handsome tyrant.

I couldn’t resist this vid by simonscat at YouTube.

Happy Birthday Lastech!

Today he is 49, so next year he hits the half century mark.  I can’t resist a dig as I’m going to be 52 at the end of the year. 🙂

For his birthday, I decided to take some photos that he took one night and play with them. They were taken with his phone, in the dark, and without flash. He came home with the first one and wasn’t fond of it at first. I played with it and showed it to him. He liked it and came home with a few more.

For Lastech with much love from me, Tito, Miss Jenny, and Titanescu

All photos are by Lastech and I call them Carousel Dreams

Here is the original photo he brought home. It was taken through the plastic sheeting that covers the carousel at night.
