Happy New Year

Just a short post to wish everyone and every kitty a Happy New Year. May it be filled with fun and treats for the kitties. Lotsa love too for all.

Merry Christmas

Jan's Funny Farm: Christmas Music has one of my favorite hymns, O Holy Night, performed by the Celtic Woman. I've seen them before in concert on the TV and they have gorgeous voices. This is what Christmas is all about, Christ.

World's Coolest Cat

World's Coolest Cat Photo Winner!

Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks Harley is cool. Sorry Meowza. Harley is cooler. Sides which you rarely yawn. No good pics either of you yawning.

Yummmmmm!

Desktop wallpaper for sure! Sorry Daisy but Harley is just so cute I couldn't resist. Not that I don't have a ton of pictures of them both. They make such nice desktop wallpaper. Cute cats!

Easy Like Sunday

Meowza just cause. Reminder, he's just a dirty boy.

Christmas Theme

Decided to change the template to something more Christmasy. Not sure I like this one but I didn't like the other choices at The Cutest Blog on the Block. I'll keep looking.

I like this one from Scrappin' Blogs so I think I'll keep it a while.

In The Pink

Meowza was just so cute in pink I had to show him off. OK, so he's trashing my pants. Details.

More Changes

I changed the name, shortened it a little. Goes with the whole iMeowza, iInfidel, iMac, iPod, iPhone, etc. thing Apple has going. So... I like Apple. Now if I had a background with Apples instead of honeybees...

iMacs wouldn't look as cute so staying with the bees.

So I Changed It A Little

Daisies were so springtime and it is now fall. Didn't see any fall backgrounds that I liked and being lazy I went with the honeybees. After all what could be better than home baked bread spread with honey on a fall day?

Weird

Visited a site and was unable to comment. Said I needed to sign in but I was already signed in. Nice orange kitties too, I love orange kitties, had one when I was a child. All my kitties have been gray ever since except for Pepper who was the color of pepper.

What's New

My iMac is in the shop and with it my kitty pics. But all is not lost. Ann emailed this to me, it's absolutely adorable. You get your kitty fix.

Keefe's Gone To The Bridge

He was helped across Tuesday, more about it here. It was his time. He was 17½ and ill. So now Meowza gets all the lap time. And he's getting lots.

Keefe's the all gray one in the pic looks like a loaf of bread.

It's Been So Long

Since I posted here, sorry. Nothing new to write about is why. Meowza is recovering from Cece's passing and staying out of the heat. Keefe has become a fussy eater and I worry about him. He gets lots of lap time, he hogs the lap. He'd lay on me all day if I let him. Meowza is satisfied with more brief lap time which is probably good seeing as he's a very big cat. Meowza goes out for brief periods mostly after dark and I invariably forget the camera. See nothing new.

Almost A Month

Since Cece's been gone and since I posted here. Meowza has taken to spending his days in the garage and only going out for brief periods usually after the sun has gone down so pics have been sparse. Laying in my lap is what he most likes to do inside and I always forget to take pics of that. Either I have grown lazy or it's this triple digit heat that saps the energy out of me. Harder to stay cool inside too. AC doesn't work that well when it's 112 outside.

Cece's Gone To The Bridge

Cece, Meowza's little friend, had an unfortunate altercation with a car and was found on the road dead. Meowza and I both miss the little guy. He was practically family, spent more time here than at his home across the street.

Last blog updated with this news. Sorry slow.

Finally Friday

And I'm finally posting, a cat pic of course. Cece being his usual happily fed self.

Happy Birthday ML

You're one special lady, ML.

hugs and purrs

Mog, Meowza and Cece

If You're Wondering

Where I've been, I was in the hospital. MS flare up plus some weird air in my abdomen where it's not supposed to be. Feel like I'm in worse shape than before I came in except my blood pressure is improved. Not passing out now. Win some, lose some. And here's Meowza. Gotta have a kitty pic.

Caturday

Sorry haven't posted or visited much, been in pain makes it hard to sit at the computer. Meowza has something to say about that. I'd say more but I did that already on my main blog. Hoping tomorrow will be a better day. Mostly slept today.

Silly Cat

Doesn't Meowza look silly here? I think so. Maybe it's an Easter thing. It was Easter when the pic was taken.

BKCFoC CotC Cat ARK FF MM TT TT WCB WW WoW

Happy Easter

Have a happy and blessed Easter and don't overdo on the chocolate and marshmallow peeps. I did. Notice I did find an Easter background after all. And of course, must have a kitty, that's Meowza in the pic.

In Trouble Again

I can so relate to this Thursday Thirteen - In Trouble Again. My cats do most of those listed too with some variation. Bad kitty cats. I should make my own Thursday Thirteen. Maybe next week.

For Sally

I like this pic of Meowza in profile. He looks like a handsome mancat instead of the dirtyboy he usually is especially when it's time to get on the sofa.

BKCFoC CotC Cat ARK FF MM TT TT WCB WW WoW

Changes Not

Well, I tried four Easter backgrounds and didn't like any of them so it stays the same until I do something totally custom which I may. I do like the ease of changing stuff around with this theme.

Mancat Monday

Meowza is a clean kitty, no? Definitely a mancat cause he does mancatly things.

BKCFoC CotC Cat ARK FF MM TT TT WCB WW WoW

Caturday

Having a leg up on the day, Meowza. He spent most of the night out catting around so now is sleeping. A perfect Caturday activity.

Friday Morning Must Read

Daisy, she is so funny especially today. She and Harley are two wild kittycats especially Harley, appropriately named methinks. He did give me a laugh wearing that babushka.

Now to try out the fringe for it's belly-hiding properties, heh!

Tabby Tuesday

I think Nina is cute flashy or no flashy. Not to worry, Meowza has his heart set on Salome.

Nina's expression reminds me of Klarissa who hated the flashy and would always give me a look. I miss that cat.

Toesies

Here's Meowza licking himself clean after dinner. It's harder to catch his tongue out using the flashy but not undoable. Now if he would only go outside where there's more light. I need a Tummy Tuesday pic. Ah! Got one.

Windows

While I wait for Backup to backup my hard drive over on the iMac, I decided to use the MacBook. Where I decided to play with Windows which had been wonky ever since I upgraded Parallels. It worked. Then Parallels indicated it had an update which I downloaded. Now it's hanging on installing the update. Guess it's force quit time. And hope I can get Windows to work again... properly. Then I get to update that. Wonder what service pack it's up to now.

Ah! Spring

It's spring and the first flowers have sprung, first one bloomed three days ago but there were more today. Weather was beautiful thou warm, 90 degrees out. And where was Meowza? Inside taking it easy. He did his roll in the dirt when I came home, no camera in hand, then went promptly inside to dirty up the sofa.

Changed It Back

Changed it back to what it was before except changed text colors and fonts just to be a little different. And work with the background. It's so easy to do might as well.

Happy St. Patty's Day

A little Meowza for your holiday fun. What? You were maybe expecting a leprechaun? He's close enough I suppose although he doesn't have a pot of gold hidden somewhere among his furs. Meowza is capable of much mischief thou.

Site Stuff

Messed with the site yesterday. Changed the background and text colors for St Patty's Day. Also added labels on the side, rearranged stuff and added Google translate. Even translates into Hebrew. Cool. Has more languages than the translate widget I have on my WordPress blog. That's one for Blogger.

Fashion Friday: My New Red Dress

Red is definitely her color, she being the famous Daisy the Curly Cat. Fashion Friday is the highlight of my week. Daisy always looks so cute dressed up.

Even when she's crabilated.

So it's a dog dress, probably don't make cat clothes cause most cats would shred theirs.

Now an enterprising soul could sew up some clothes without the offending dog tag. She might like that.

Finally Friday Nibbling

That should be enough grass there for Meowza to nibble on, still plenty of dirt for him. He rolled in it while I was taking out the trash then came in right after all covered in dirt and twigs. Just what I wanted but, as the cats have soiled the sofa, it's time to wash the slipcovers again. They don't take long especially Meowza.

Easy Like Sunday Evening

Here's Meowza after he took his usual roll in the dirt. Only caught the tail end of it cause the camera was slow. I've since recharged the batteries.

I'll have to do something special for him Wednesday cause that's his birthday. He'll be five.

Weekend cat fun:

Space, the final frontier

This has to be the most original entry in the Space theme for Photo Hunters. LOL. I have caught the kitties doing it outside and Bazel doing it in the kitchen sink but never together. That's got to be a first.

Caturday Cece

Here's Cece hanging by the front door. Note, he has personalized the mat with his furs.

Brilliant Aloysius

The solution to our falling economy: Cats. Hadn't thought of it before but they are perfect. No?

Easy Like Sunday Afternoon

Cece rolled in it again, proof is on his back side. One of these days, I'll get a tummy shot.

Caturday

Cece enjoyed his Temptations today. It's such a beautiful day too for kitty pics.

Happy Valentine's Day

Meowza has another valentine for Sally. I do think that boy is in love.

Salome's Valentine for Meowza

I came across this - Skeezix the Cat's 3rd Annual VD Contest: Salome's Valentine for Meowza. Almost didn't check the contest but as Meowza was wanting my help making a valentine for Salome (he has no Photoshop skills), I decided to get some inspiration from people far more talented than I am. Now he is positively over the moon as he got one from her.

Guessing Game

Lux has a guessing game and a really cute pic of him. Note how intensely he studies the object, great expression, love the tooth.

Weird

The kitty festivals, BKCFoC CotC WCB, get relatively few links each week, currently running around 10 or so, yet Mister Linky over at the Cat Blogosphere gets lots, somewhere between 30 and 60 on average per day. How do we increase carnival participation?

BKCFOC #80-Are You Ready For Some Football?

There's a clue in this title - BKCFOC #80-Are You Ready For Some Football? but don't worry, it's kitty filled goodness. Great festival. And regards the football, remembers our Cardinals who won! Yay! My kid will be most happy bout that.

Cat Food

On the Animal Rescue Site, it states, "You've given the value of .6 bowls of food to rescued animals." I've given one bowl of food to Cece. Does that count?

Background Image

Messing around with a background image cause I can.

Hijacked

Grrr, tried to post at mindofmog.net but got redirected to another site. Tried to load site, got redirected to that same site. Site's been hijacked. Note the other blogs all still work. Arrggg, I've lost my blog. I did fire off an urgent support request to Dreamhost to see if it can be fixed.

Update: Dreamhost fixed it, said it was a severe misconfiguration in Apache which they corrected and apologized for. Their mistake. Obviously someone was asleep at the wheel there.

Happy New Year

May you all have a happy holiday and a great 2009. Me, I’m having a quiet holiday at home with the kitties. Changed colors cause I can in solidarity with Israel seeing as it is at war with Hamas. Hope Israel crushes Hamas.
