Mancat Monday with Toby

Hey Cats. Timmy said it was a Man-Cat Monday post so I volunteered. I mean who is more Manly than me, Toby Tomcat. The Terror of the Cat-Toys! The Wrestlers Wrassler! The Wild Jumping Crazy Cat! Da-Bird Killer! Da Mousie Chewer!  

I must say I feel that something
is a bit off. 

I feel like there is a set of eyes on me.
What is all this then?

Toby Tomcat! How can you do a post
without ME! HMPH! I have been
watching you Strut!

Umm... Yes dearest Fitz sweety pie snoogums dear. I will make sure you are in all my posts from now on.

Just you wait till you are done playing with your blog pals. We are going to talk!

Yes Dear. Coming Honey. 
Well see you soon. Keep it very Manly.
Toby Tomcat (The Handsome One)

Settled In and Buddy Teaches!

Hi Furs and Friends!

We are all settled in, things are pretty much back to normal and we are starting to catch up with our friends posts. Finally! 

Dad asked us last week if we would like to do a little remodel of our Blog like the remodel of our home. We were a bit unsure of this. What if we loose things we love? 
Dad says that there are back ups and if we add pages the paw-sitive would be: 

• We could have  biographies
• A home for our Squillions
• Our Angels would have a page

We were fur-it, scratch-it, fur-it, scratch-it. Finally we just did a vote! Fur-it, Yay! We are adding pages. Keep a paw ready to click on them when they appear. Whew. Another project. At least we will not have to move. 

So today Buddy is going to take the stage! Go ahead Buddy!

Easy on Sunday and Purrayers for Olive

We are very sad to say that Sweet Olive has gone over the Bridge. She was Gracie of the Tabby Cat Clubs niece. Please send Purrayers and post her memorial if you would like. Fly free sweet Olive! 

Now we will relax a bit with some more photos of our fancy decorated Tomcat Home.

Dad, like most good cat caretakers, worries about our needs. Play, Food, Treats, Health, Sleep and, of course Hygiene.

We are six healthy cats with good appetites so there is quite a bit of, uhh, yes, plenty of that. We also have an elder who is a bit large who...

Buddy Budd: "Youz betta watcher itz Timmerz! Ah listenerz!"

YES Buddy. So Buddy is of a healthy size and needs room. We also have a few "standers." Dad really cannot figure this out as it is not spraying. Rather it seems to be a preference. Go figure. With all this taken into account he has tried the jumbo litter pans, the jumbo corner litter pans, hooded and un-hooded, you get the idea. All were good but not good enough. So what do you do. Well Dad made us a new pan! Go Dad!

He will tell you how to do the nice cushion at the doors if your peeps are interested. He said this was a prototype and will be used in the bedroom closet. He will make another fancy one for out here. Check it out.

Buddy checking if everything came out ok. MOL.

Buddy Budd: "Whut! Ah Listener! Gonna get-cha!"

Chill Buddy. I wanted to show that even with a very large container you are a very big cat.

With the big doors he finds it easy to reach in
and finish up. 

I like the double doors. You never have that trapped feeling.
The sides are high enough that our "standers" do not overshoot.

You can't really see the door edges. Dad cut tubing and hot glued it around so it is nice and soft. Nothing sharp. Cool. 

So we are just about back to normal. 

Toby is watching our Critter TV.

I am going to let Fitz watch for a bit. Dad has to get our
new Window seats made. Soon I hope.

We also like to play on the cat run. I am sneaking in Dad's
area while Fitz is scenting up the edges.

As you can see. Back to normal.

Rumpy is all chilled out.

After a day of play we all needed a good nap.

Shhh... Look at that Buddy! Goodness he is a Big Dood!

Dad wanted us to Plug his new Bissell Lift Off Floors and More
Pet Vac. He says it is great. We agree. Nice and quiet. The nasty
Hose Monster has not been seen.

So there you have it. We are back home and living large. Dad has planned a cat walk up on the walls with perches and cubbys to relax and snoopervise out of. We will keep you infurmed of his progress. 

Finally. Buddy Invites all of our Furends to visit his Secret Garden for a snack and to have fun. He won the best summer picture at the Russian Blue Lounge on Catster. We are proud of our Big Buddy Budd

Com-on overz and visiter! Ah gotz plenty good goodies fur-Ya!
Yer Buddy Budd iz a good Buddy ta have!
Yessir!

Happy Caturday! Part Two of our Paint and Carpet Saga!

Hey Furends
Well here we are on a fine Hot Hot Hot Caturday at the Tomcat Home. We have a heat advisory here in Eastern Pa so we are purring for all the elders and others who need to take it easy and should be drinking plenty of liquids. So be....

Buddy: Plenter uf dem Nip-Tini's?

No Buddy! No Nip or other intoxicants!

Buddy: Durn... Jus checkerin!

Where was I... OK. 
Yesterdays Post was about being in Dad's Office so today we will give a little peek at our new digs.

Here we are on the first day. We were all just sitting around
relaxing and happy to be home.

This is our famous Cat-Run. We can zip back and forth over
Dad's Books and not knock them to the floor. Purrfect.

Buddy Budd jumped right onto his favorite perch. 

As you can see things are getting organized. Dad keeps
his usb cables, chargers and such under the
watch of our pal Lil' Bub. We like it! 

There is still a lot to do and you will see the fun we have in store in the coming days.

Before we close here is some fun. We received the Bestest Kitty Blogger in the Cosmos Award from Little Binky and Granny!  Check them out at angelwhisper2011 Me and my Granny

Happy Friday! Part One of our Paint and Carpet Saga!

Hey Furends!
Golly Gee Whiskers, what a couple of weeks!
We are sooooo far behind in visiting all our pals Blogs and on Catster.  Hope you all understand and will keep the lights on as we keep running till our paws give out at night. 

Anyhow

Here are the photos we have been promising:

Here we are packing up. As you see I am in the bin as Snoopervisor! I saw Toby Sneakin N Peepin!

Hey Buddy! Move that over there! Buttons that goes there! Where is Toby? TOBY!

Here I am NyaHaHa!
Hah Toby! I saw you coming! Whacka-Whack!
Curses, foiled again, MOL! OK, let me get to work Tim.

Me and Dad choose the Carpet after deciding on the paint.

As soon as all the small items were packed up we all moved down to Dads Home Office. Dad and his sisfur share a duplex and his office is in the bottom part where she lives. Meow her doggies were giving us the yip-yap-yip-yip! They smell funny too! Yuck!
 Buddy was first to jump on Dads Desk.

Dat cardie onda montor iz our photers! Aw Dad!

Ahhhh! Diz been a gooder place ta rester!

Of course as soon as Buddy went to check out the rest of the place...

Ahhhh! This is a Good place to rest!

That Buddy and Rumpy. I am always trying to keep the fur from flying. Toby found a good spot right away.

Hey Cats! Look up here! Great Whiffies and plenty of Critter Action! 

Buttons was a bit, well...

What is all this then! Smells Funny! Looks Funny! Yuck!

Fitz decided to stay out of sight the whole time. 

I stuck to Dads Chair for the duration. It did take a bit of wiggling to get just right!

Finally comfy. This was Dads living room and bed all week. His table was a printer box. All the comforts of home!

Dad was a bit testy when he moved the chair into the office and saw the hole Sisfurs Doggies did on the arm. He bought this set for her only a few years ago. We started running and playing and it took his mind right off everything.

Tomorrow we will have our move back!

July 3rd, A Strange Day and We are Home!

I awoke to a disturbing condition playing on my senses. I saw the ceiling of our home, with new lights ablaze, as through a prism. Oddly enough this felt as if things were as they should be and the concern I had was of the more pressing variety, my getting to my morning treat with my fellows, which caused me to try to move and find my fellows and Dad. 
Imagine my surprise when I was stuck fast and could not move at all off of the position I had been in when I awoke. Concerned I tried all paws with only a slight rocking back and forth being the result. I then saw a long dark thing waving in front of my eyes, or maybe I should say my kaleidoscopic vision, a thing with some claw at the end and hairs coming off. No there were several of these waving about in the air. They are my legs but I cannot control them. They just wave about with a mind of their own. 
Suddenly I saw Rumpy. I meowed to him 'Dood, help me get up. I seem to be stuck.' No regular meow came out only a strange hissing. He ran over to me and gave a look of disgust and whacked me a good one. Suddenly on my feet I scuttled over to Dad and looked up and asked for my treat. His nose wrinkled and he kicked me over to the couch. What gives? The family were looking at me and Dad said: "Where did THAT come from?"

I could not get off my back! My legs were waving in the air!

Well furends what is all this then?

What is all this then?

What is all this then?

What is all this then?

Why its a Birthday Dedication!

Happy 130th Birthday Franz Kafka!

The Tomcat Family and Dad are Laughing!!

Hey you have to admit I had you going there. I think that tribute to Franz's "The Metamorphosis" was pretty darn good.

So thats done.
We are officially back in our home since Monday morning. It was a really odd day as those men were still around painting and climbing and pushing our furniture about. Things finally settled down after 6 when they left. Dad looked as tired as we felt. 

It is very strange getting used to the new smells. We have been working overtime rubbing our scent on things. I was done by bed time and took my normal spot next to Dad. Fitz ran right in along with Buttons and Toby. Rumpy is a bit put out. Buddy is all into the newness. He has been like a kitten running and playing. He NEVER played with string toys with Dad. Now he is right in the thick of it. 

Yes this new home is good. We wish all our friends a happy 4th and will be visiting you all this weekend. We will have pictures too!
