Cats rule… part 2.

13 Comments

Sorry, not sorry. These tickle my funny bone.

.

.

Cats are a huge presence in their owner’s (read slaves) lives, so these pictures aren’t far off the mark.

.

.

If you’ve ever been in a hurry to get out of the house and have to dodge a suddenly snake like creature winding madly around your legs, you know what I mean.

.

.

Blocking traffic in mid town? I can see that.

.

.

The leaf on this cat’s head kills me!

.

.

“Of all God’s creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”

Mark Twain

He’s such a slacker.

Today is Mother’s Day and Lord Dudley Mountcatten marked the occasion by doing absolutely nothing. He didn’t hack me up a hairball, he didn’t push his food bowl my way… he didn’t even drop a dead mouse at my feet. What a slacker!

.

.

I mean really, would it have killed him to order me a box of cocktail chocolates?

.

.

No, it would not. The lazy sod sleeps on the keyboard for heaven’s sake… and don’t tell me he doesn’t have thumbs. Those paws are more dexterous than you think.

.

.

(Don’t laugh, kitty mothers count.) Come on Dudley… River needs a chocolate covered margarita.

.

.

See? This cat made breakfast…. I don’t think I’m being at all unreasonable.

Cats rule.

I think we can all agree if you invite a cat into your home and heart, they quickly turn your house into their kingdom and rule with an iron fist. While all cat owners know this, there’s now an artist who’s showing us world domination isn’t far behind.

*Gulp*

.

.

Catzilla?

.

.

He’ll make mincemeat out of those puny Power Rangers! And then perhaps, a pie.

To be viewed while humming the old Vanity Fare song ‘Hitchin’ A Ride’.

This next photo explains a lot.

Things I like today.

.

I like flipping through magazines and finding cocktail recipes.

.

.

Mmm…. this sounds refreshing. Needless to say I shall be adjusting the required alcohol amounts. 3 tbsps of gin? Bitch, please.

.

.

I like finding a decent cat food Lord Dudley Mountcatten will actually eat.

.

.

Three ingredients, you can’t beat that.

.

.

In other news, I like cheese.

.

.

Tell me you haven’t felt the same way. Go ahead… I dare you.

.

.

If you’ve never tried Mrs. Meyer’s cleaning products you really should. Their scents are marvelous. Basil, geranium, honeysuckle, bluebell and the latest… fresh mown grass. Ooh la la! If it wasn’t so soapy I swear I’d use it as perfume.

.

.

And finally, I like Dudley’s laissez faire attitude when it comes to dining. If the human puts your dinner in front of you when you’re lying down? Why bother getting up….

Play time with Hemingway.

11 Comments

.

You never know when Lord Dudley Mountcatten will feel like playing. One minute he’s sound asleep on the couch while you’re watching Ken Burns’ documentary on Ernest Hemingway. The next?

.

.

He’s nutty as a fruitcake and flinging his toys across the room.

.

.

Maybe it was all the talk of Hemingway’s romantic entanglements that got him frisky. Ernest did love the ladies…

Random Dudley silliness.

16 Comments

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is getting used to being photographed.

.

.

Though he’s not above showing his displeasure at my interrupting his nap.

.

.

Sometimes none too subtly.

.

Get lost human!

.

He was also quite befuddled when it started to rain and the husband put the required bowl under our annoying soon to be repaired roof leak.

.

A bowl with no food? This does not compute.

.

Neither does chasing your tail….

.

.

But it’s cute all the same.

Did you know…..

The shortest war in history was between Zanzibar and England in 1896? Zanzibar surrendered after 38 minutes.

No?

I did, because….

.

.

Did you know…. Each year, Americans spend more on cat food than baby food?

.

.

Judging by the way Dudley devours his, I’m not at all surprised.

.

Well, since you asked….

.

The phrase ‘son of a gun’ derives from the days when women were allowed to live on naval ships. Their children were born behind a screen, often near the mid ship gun. If paternity was in doubt, the child was registered in the log as the “son of a gun’.

.

Did you know…. Salvador Dali once arrived at an art exhibition in a limousine filled with turnips?

.

.

Did you know…. Ostriches beat the heat by urinating on their legs? It evaporates like sweat.

.

.

Proof positive there’s a YouTube video for everything. Even though sometimes you wish there wasn’t.

Bad cat. Bad.

20 Comments

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has the full run of our house and sleeps on whatever bed, couch or chair strikes his fancy. But even in this personal Catopia there are limits and he is not allowed on the kitchen counters, tables or bedroom bureaus.

.

.

You knew where this was going right?

While I’ve kicked him off our master bedroom bureaus enough times for him to get the message…

.

Who, me?

.

He seems to think the guest room is fair game.

.

.

And happily parks his butt up there to look out the windows when he thinks I’m not looking.

.

Go away human, you’re bothering me.

.

Bad cat.

Bad.

Chew this, not that.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been exercising. Unfortunately, the part of his anatomy he’s strengthening are his teeth.

.

.

Results of his daily work outs? My spider plants that are being nibbled down to nubs. Enter kitty wheat grass.

.

.

Something healthy and less likely to cause his premature demise at the hands of an annoyed human.

.

.

Upon first introduction, he was not enthusiastic.

.

.

But after the first chomp, he was hooked.

.

.

Here’s hoping it’s tastier than my houseplants.
