Too Cold!!!!

Categories weather11 Comments on Too Cold!!!!

Please….everyone shut your freezer doors now.

We’re not saying it’s the humans’ fault, but it is way too cold here now.  Mom said it’s going to be a bazillion degrees below zero tomorrow morning so she doesn’t have to go to work.

Mom even got this funny picture in her email today.  We didn’t really understand it ‘cuz we use a litter box, but she explained it to us and then we had to chuckle.  Humans come up with the strangest ideas!!!Too cold.

As for us, we’re just spending the day being lazy.

How is that any different for us, you may ask.  Actually, it’s pretty much the same thing every day for us.  We have to get Mom up and make sure she feeds us and puts out fresh water.  Then we have to help her get ready for work.  Then after we push her out the door, we settle down in the sun puddles.

It’s just the life of a cat!

Besides, it lives in the garage and it’s really cold out there now and we didn’t want our throne freezing.

Hey Hemingway…..humans sometimes call those things in the bathroom their “thrones”.  Should we be putting socks on our throne, too????

Not Funny……

Weather Person Beware! I'm going to eat grass and then come to your house and throw-up.

Shakespeare, what is your problem now?

When Mom got home from church yesterday, she let us outside to play.

I know.  I was there.

Well, you went back in the house but the sun was shining so when Mom asked me if I wanted to go inside before she went to the store I told her, “No Way!”

And you found out that was stupid.

Who knew it was going to rain while she was at the grocery store?  The sun was shining!!!

When I saw the drops falling outside, I stood by the door and giggled.  I was nice and dry.

Mr. White Cat on the Deck....wasn't it funny when Shakespeare got wet?

I still think it’s the fault of the weather person.  Someone must have paid off the weather person in catnip, treats and toys.  I’m going to find out who the guilty person or fur person is!!  My beautiful tail is not meant to get wet.

IT’S HERE!!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!!!!!

This was less than a week ago:

Last April Snow

This was our glorious spring weekend:

Mom got some flowers to put out on the deck so we would know it’s spring.

This wasn't here before. I wonder if Mom bought it for me.....

I'm too busy rolling in the dirt and leaves. When I do that I know Mom will get the brush out and she'll brush me...and then I'll roll in the dirt and leaves again....and she'll brush me....and then.........

You know...it feels so good to lie out here in the sun again. I'm so glad they got new batteries for it.

From the Mom:  As you can see, the boys were so excited that spring finally came to our area.  They had so much fun outside.  Me?  Well, instead of pushing snow around I was raking up leaves and seed pods and checking to see what plants were starting to come up again.  Thanks to all of the boys’ friends who kept telling them that spring really would come again.  I hope everyone had as much fun as we did this weekend!

It Happened Again!

April 23

We woke up to this!  Can you believe it???  However, we figured out what’s happening.

We’re so smart!

You see….the angels have been really craving SnoCones lately.  They’ve been eating them like crazy.

Of course that means they’ve really been working that poor old SnoCone maker like crazy.

In fact……they’ve used it so much that it finally jammed and all the little flakes of ice have been falling down on us.

We really hope the angels get over their SnoCone craze soon.

………..or at least fix that stupid machine!

Morning April 23

Maybe blue sky April 23

Mom says if you look carefully, you can see the buds on the maple tree.  She says that’s a sign that spring might come!

Now What?

Categories weather9 Comments on Now What?

Mom….we wanted to play outside today!

Can’t you do anything about this?

Mom usually has a potted plant with pretty flowers in this thing. Just look at it now!

Hemingway and Paper

Hemingway……….why are you posting that picture?

Because Mom said she’s going Christmas shopping.

It’s not time for Christmas yet.

You and I know that but Mom is acting crazy.  She claims that all the humans have been brainwashed…….

Nobody’s going to wash my brain!!!

They’d have to find it first….chuckle

MOM……..Hemingway’s being naughty again.

ANYWAY…………Mom claims that the big thing hanging on the wall with all the numbers is wrong.  According to that we should be having spring, but just take a look outside…..

Stil April 18,2013

Something’s wrong!

I know.  That’s why Mom thinks all the humans are brainwashed and it’s no longer April but it’s actually December.

But I just had my birthday a couple of weeks ago and if it’s really December, that means your birthday is almost here and mine is coming again real soon.

MORE PRESENTS!!!!

But I’m worried about Mom.  Is there anything we can do?  Just look out the door at all the white!

April 18, 2013

Did you look out the other window where our catnip usually grows?  I found something really exciting there.

Flowers in the snow

Hey, aren’t those flowers?

Brave Flowers

Yes.  I think we better show them to Mom so she doesn’t think winter is here forever.

Where is spring

Mom, if you go out this door and go over by where our catnip grows you will see something special.  Wait…..I just happened to think of something.

What?

If we tell Mom it really is April then she won’t go shopping for Christmas and birthday presents.  Maybe we should keep it quiet and just let her be confused.

Good idea.  Readers……..don’t let Mom know!

Really?????

Categories weather16 Comments on Really?????

We keep reading blogs about fur people and their humans having fun outside in the warm sun.

We don’t have that!!!

We’re getting really testy about what the stupid weather people are allowing to come to our house.

We thought we were all done with that white stuff and the other day more of that stuff came and it’s staying!

We are not happy kitties.

We looked at that long thing on the wall that has all the numbers on it and it says spring is here.

It’s lying and it’s not nice to lie!

We were trying to figure out what’s wrong and we came up with a couple of ideas.  First of all, we’ve talked about this before and nobody listens.  That big bright light in the sky that brings the warmth has not been shining for several days.  We are convinced it needs new batteries.  We keep telling Mom that if she gives us the batteries we’ll try to put them in but all she does is look at us.

Just the other day we were discussing this awful weather and we came up with another idea.

Yes, we don’t know why we didn’t think of this before.  Many of the humans have these big boxes outside that blow cold air into their homes in the summer when it gets hot.

Mom said last summer ours was broken so we didn’t get any cold air to cool us off but then she got a new box and if summer ever comes again she said it will be cool in the house.

Anyway, we are convinced that all these big boxes have been leaking their cold air into space and now there’s a big abundance of cold air and it has taken over the weather here.

All the humans need to check those big boxes and see if they are leaking and if they are, they better fix them right away.

As usual, we’ve discovered that the weather problems can be blamed on the humans.  They need to put new batteries in the bright light in the sky and they need to plug up those big boxes outside so the warm air can come.

Thank you for listening to us.  Please take care of things now ‘cuz we’re getting crabby staying inside!

We’re Mad and So Is Mom!

Last night when Mom came home from work the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and we all got to go outside and play.

You saw pictures of us outside.  We were having so much fun!

Even Champ the dog next door (who is our good buddy) was outside and he was talking to us and telling us what he had done all winter.

Now tonight when Mom came home from work, that stupid white stuff was falling again!!!

Doesn’t the weather know that it’s supposed to be spring?

Mom doesn’t have to do that work stuff tomorrow so she could have played outside with us for a long time tonight.

Instead she said we are all staying inside ‘cuz it’s cold and wet out there.

We want our summer yard back RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Yes, we are tired of this winter yard.  It’s no fun!!

Mom even said if we start to picket against winter, she’ll join in with us.  What does picket mean???

Mom says that we have gotten really lazy.  She seems to think that all we do all day long is nap in the sun!

We have been away from the computer for a long time.  Our readers probably think we’ve forgotten how to post things.

But Mom doesn’t know for sure what we do during the day.  I try to tell her in the middle of the night what we’ve been doing….

But she doesn’t like it when we wake her up.  

It’s just so hard to figure out humans.  They just don’t think like us!

Speaking of thinking……..I’ve been busy thinking about this winter stuff.  Mom keeps saying that spring is supposed to be here now but it’s still cold.  She did say that she was able to walk this morning without putting those little clothes on her hands.

Those are called gloves.

That made her happy.  She said the birds are singing and flying around before the big light in the sky wakes up so they must think spring is coming.

That big light is the sun.

Have you looked outside lately?  What did all that white stuff do to that pretty green grass?  It’s all brown now.  I don’t like it.  I hope none of that white stuff ever lands on us ‘cuz we might change colors!!

Shakespeare, you are so goofy.  Let’s go out and check on things.

Maybe if I walk out slowly it will be warmer.

We’re Worried…..

Categories Cats, Fur People, Hemingway and Shakespeare, Mom, PetBlog, weather6 Comments on We’re Worried…..

Mom, we’ve been watching the news while you were at work and we’re getting worried.

Yes, we don’t know what to do!

We’ve been watching about that big storm Sandy and it scares us.

When we looked outside today, we just saw gray skies, but we didn’t see lots of wind and rain.

We’re thinking about all the fur people and their humans out on the East Coast.  We want them to be safe and not get hurt.

We don’t want them to lose their homes or their food dishes.

Shakespeare be serious.  We are very lucky that we live where we do and we don’t have to worry about this particular storm.

Sorry, but I can’t help thinking about the fur people and their humans out there who might not have anything to eat now.  Mom, we even heard that some of the fur people and their humans don’t have electricity.  That means they could be wet and cold.

Mom, will you help us say our prayers tonight?  We want to make sure we say special prayers for all the fur people and humans out East.   We want them to be safe.  We want the storm to end quickly.  We just don’t know if we have all the right words for our prayers so we want you to help.

Thanks Mom!

To everyone out East:  we are thinking about you and praying for you.
