A William And Russell Challenge–UPDATED.

So we have all this toy money we want to do something with. And even though we love new toys, really we have a million of them already. And seeing as how tomorrow is Veterans Day, we thought we would donate 50¢ for every comment* we get on this post from now until 7:42 p.m. MST** tomorrow to the Wounded Warrior Project. So let's get those paws typing!


*from a cat (or woofie or bun or other non-human) blog or cat-friendly blogger; one comment per, please
**I let Russell pick the ending time and you know him

UPDATE: WOO HOO! Caroline has agreed to forego her Meezer Rules Wednesday post and we all agree to extend the deadline to 12 midnight MST on 11/11!

Monday Again.

And I just don't feel like reading the paper today.

Easy Like Sunday.

We had nice weather this weekend, so that kept my mom pretty busy outside. While she worked in the yard and did some exterior painting, we sort of snoopervised.



Well, we could have if we hadn't been busy ourselves soaking up the rays.

Snoozefest.

Only dinner got these two up this evening. (My mom says please excuse the fur, although I don't know why.)



Oh, and an update on the SD Light. None of us is fooled by this. We know it's light food so of course we vacuum it down at twice the normal rate–we need to, or we'd all be fainty! I think we'll be through this bag in no time and back to regular food shortly...and hopefully my mom will learn that we will not tolerate a diet of any sort!

Have a fun weekend, everyone!

Meezer Rule Wednesday.

It's me, Caroline! And something terrible has happened!

Mom changed our food to Science Diet Light because some kids (and not me) have put on a few ounces (OK a whole lot of ounces). I am starving! I am all fainty! It takes all I have just to do my normal screaming!



My rule for today is, I don't care what the others eat, I want my real food back!

Tuesdays With Russell.

So last night during full moon, I got up on the mantel a bunch of times, teased Caroline to all hours, knocked off the heat deflector on one of the registers and played with it, teased Caroline even more, pulled pillows off the couch and chair in the den, and tipped over a basket of toys which included a whole bunch of noisy ones that woke Mom up!



I had a pretty busy night!

Odd Girl Out.

Back off, sister! This is the boys' window.



We're waiting for the full moon!

Dia de los Muertos.

I've got my calaveras collar on!



This is our altar this year. All the cats who came before us–and Mom has had the company of cats continuously since 1975!–are honored here this time: Eddie (2007), Sophie (2004), Cowbell (1994), Bing (1991), and Little Brother, a left-behind outside boy my mom took care of until his disappearance (1989). There are toys and crows and treats and stuff for their spirits as they come back to earth on this special day.



Hi, other kids! Hope you enjoy what we've set out for you. Now, isn't it time for dinner? This time change has us all waiting again!

Happy Halloween!

Somebody didn't want to be a rooster.



Be safe and watch out for bats!

Brrr.

Well, it snowed again today and we still have bits of it left. It's been very cold, too. It would be good if we could have a cat pile to keep warm while we wait for Mom, but somebody always spoils it. Well, OK, two bodies always spoil it.

Anyway, so far we've all been able to escape the annual try-to-dress-us-up-in-something-for-Halloween thing, mainly because of the modem problems that Mom has been trying to fix (it's stable again for the moment), but I know it's coming. Can you tell how I feel about this?



I'm looking forward to Dia de los Muertos on the first, though! I've got some fun ideas of how to decorate our altar, and I hope you all think about celebrating too. See you then, and stay warm, everyone!

Meezer Complaint Wednesday.

It's me, Caroline!

Mom, I need heat! I think I'm frozen!

Tuesdays With Russell.

We've had connectivity issues galore tonight and after spending a hundred years on it to no avail, we're on dial up! I say forget it. I have napping to do!

Freeze Warning.

It's supposed to get very cold tonight. I hope my snail buds are ready. I haven't seen any of them in awhile, so they're probably all safe and sound under blankets of leaves or hiding in the crannies of our rocks.



I even hope that alien cat who comes into my back yard as bold as you please gets to stay in tonight!

The Dangerous Season.

So today my mom and Aunt M went to a cat show. And then they went to look at the new cat house at the Animal Humane Association. Now, Mom said she didn't play with any of the cats because she didn't want to get too tempted. I know every now and then she asks both me and Russell what we think about getting a new brother.



I don't know. I mean, we'd finally be even again with three boys, but what if he turned out to be really screamy, had a kangaroo in him or was a pee king or something? We've already got that. I think we'd need to set up interviews first.

Meezer Complaint Wednesday.

It's me, Caroline! Russell teases me all the time and I am in a complete tizzy! See?



I think we need to vote him off the island!
