From time to time the humans will amaze us with a rare display of intelligence. Recently, they did just that when they came home with a Cat Condo! Granted, its a bit small for two and any actually smart human would have gotten us each our own… Still, we are pleased with this acquisition and have found it to serve most of our basic daily needs.
A Cat Condo is a perfect place to play some games! There are balls to whop and plenty of places to scratch and chew.
A Cat Condo is also a perfect place to wash. There are lots of furs and usually an extra tongue helping you!
A Cat Condo also serves well for naps. There isn’t much room but we always fit two.
In fact, there’s no reason to leave a Cat Condo except for food and to poo!

Today I puked up my very first pile of vomito de gato! Tamra tells me there is much more to come in my future, especially if I keep up my current eating habits…
For the last week I’ve discovered how fun it is to eat Kleenex and unroll the toilet paper. Unfortunately, I’ve now also gotten hooked to eating the stuff! It’s just so wonderfully chewy!
As you may have already guessed… it wasn’t a furrball I puked up! It was more like half a roll of toilet paper which the servants then flushed down the toilet. The good news is that I must be using the toilet paper properly if the servants flushed it because thats what they do when they use it too.
I do find it odd that the humans weren’t more concerned when I puked… They seemed more interested in rolling all the toilet paper up again after I worked so hard to spread it nice and evenly across the floor. Tamra is right, they are definitely incompetent.

Tara and Kavan started a new Three Name Meme and Kavan tagged me! Here are the rules:
In case you aren’t familiar with The Naming of Cats, in the Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, by T.S. Eliot, we all have three names! So, in this meme, you must link to the originator of the meme (Tara and Kavan), list the following rules, and then tell us:
1. The name that the family uses daily (such as Peter, Agustus, Alonzo, or James)
2. The name that is particular, a name thats peculiar, and more dignified (such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat)
3. What you are doing when you are thinking of the name that only you know, and will never confess (when engaged in rapt contemplation), that deep and inscrutable singular name
Then tag three cats to give their three names.
Here are my three names:
1. Tamra… or Tamra Maew if im being bad!
2. HoneyBunnyBites
3. Wondering what Griffins ears taste like with mayonnaise… mmm mayonnaise!
and here are Griffins:
1. Griffin
2. MonkeyClawsClimb
3. Developing a master plan for my next attack on Tamra’s tail!
I’ll tag Storm the furry fighter, Hendrix and TT!
Also, I’ve got a role in CCSI III which airs this weekend! Be sure to check it out at Sassy’s Blog!

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!

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 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!

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.

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!

Tara tagged me for the middle name meme!
Here are the rules:
1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don’t have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother’s maiden name).
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged.)
I don’t have a middle name… Tamra tells me it’s because the servants have been very incompetent recently. I am however happy to learn that I’ve been born into royalty and have servants!
Since I don’t have a middle name, I will use my kitty moms name, Sewki.
S: Samurai. I don’t have a sword, but my claws are dangerously sharp!
E: Excited. I can’t help it, life is very interesting! I do as many things as I can at once. The casual observer might think that I’m just aimlessly running around in circles, but I’m actually multi-tasking!
W: Waldo. I’m so small, when I hide it’s just like finding Waldo!
K: Kamikaze. Tamra told me to put this one in because kamikaze can mean to be “so reckless in behavior or actions as to be suicidal”. Maybe I should consider leaving her tail alone… hehehe!
I: IF. This word describes me a lot because it’s the one word I never use! I never ask myself what might happen IF I do this or that, I just do it!
Now time to play tag!
1. Kavan - Tamra said I have to tag him to be allowed to post on her blog today.
2. Gandalf & Grayson - I picked them because their names start with G like me!
3. Latte - I pick Latte because he says I will look like him when I grow up. He sure looked fierce on fangday!
4. TT - I picked her so she doesn’t think I’m an alien!
5. Riley and Tiki - Because they say I’m cute!

As I finally gain some peace and quiet sitting up on the window sill out of reach, let me tell you all what has been going on for the last few days.
As many of you have recently learned, the incompetent servants brought home a little “kitten”. As suspected by many, they did not consult me prior to acquiring this… thing. Since the servants are indeed supposed to serve me loyally, I have no other choice but to agree with TT and suspect alien involvement. Here is the intel I’ve gathered on the thing so far:
First of all, I am told he is my biological brother! Personally I see no resemblance whatsoever.
Secondly, he has a very unusual odor. The smell of an alien no doubt.
Many of you have however suggested that this may eventually be a good thing… While I am of course still quite skeptical, I have made an effort to tolerate his existence; especially when he is attacking the servants who deserve punishment.
He’s also deceivingly evil. While the casual observer might think this little act shown below is cute, its an obvious attempt to fool the servants into letting him steal my mice! That’s right, thats my mouse he’s got there!
Here’s some pictures of me as a kitten. Now thats cute! As you can see, no resemblance at all.
I have begun to like the little thing a little bit more ever since he pee’d on the male servant yesterday morning, so long as he doesn’t touch me… Stay away from me thing!
I believe the servants have given the thing a name, but I’m not going to bother learning it considering how short-lived his life will be if he keeps touching my tail…
OK! That’s enough tail biting and clawing, off with you now!!!
***EDIT***
Loyal servants here! Don’t tell Tamra we added this, but just wanted to let everyone know that Tamra’s new little brother is named Griffin, a seal point siamese born January 22nd 2008 (just over 7 1/2 weeks old). Both have the same biological parents, Munich (lilac point father) and Sewki (seal point mother).
