Tortie Tuesday and Meme

In honor of Tortie Tuesday, here are some illustrations of the nightly routine for the Terrible Tortie Twins.

Holly loves to leap from the counter to the kitchen table, and from the kitchen table to the back of the loveseat in the living room. Here she is leaping from the counter to the table.

As mentioned before, the twins LOVE doggie stinky goodness. No one loves it more than Ivy. Here she is cleaning up the last bits of gravy from Loki and Dana's stinky goodness.

My good friends Marie and Queen Snickers tagged me, Tybalt, for a meme! It sounds like a really interesting one, too. I am going to put a lot of thought into my answers!


The rules are: you have to post who tagged you and link back to them and then to petspics.blogspot.com.

Then you have to tag 3 other kitties, beans, woofies, or any other assorted animal.


What three things would you do that you have never done before, if you knew you wouldn't get caught, get in trouble, or suffer any consequences?



1) I would help my mommy start a no-kill shelter for any kind of furry that needed rescued and helped to find a forever home. Of course, I would have to be the spokescat and mascot for this endeaveor. "Prince Tybalt says 'Respect Pets!'"



2) I would sneak out and go with mommy whenever she leaves the house. She leaves for things like "work" and "the store" and NEVER takes me with her. I definitely think that needs to change.



3) I would go outside and see what it is like to hunt birdies. I love watching them outside, but I think it would be even more fun to chase them . . . although I am a little scared of the outside.



And I tag these three kitties:

1) MoMo
2) Parker
3) Pyewacket

Thursday Thirteen - Meme

Can you believe I was tagged for the "7 Random/Weird Things" meme again this week? This one is for the Meezer Brothers, Castor and Pollux! You are two adorable meezer kits!

Since I have already done the meme this week, and since it is Thursday, I thought I would make it a pictorial Thursday Thirteen! Here are 13 random and weird things me and my siblings did last year in '07. So sit back, enjoy some nip, and have fun strollerin' down memory lane.

1. Raising a paw for awareness!

2. Helping mommy pack.

3. Sending and receiving holiday cards for the first time.

4. Doing quality control on the Halloween Candy.

5. Holly and her broom practice. (Mommy is not a witch, sis!)

6. Discovering new pleasures.

7. Participating in Secret Paws for the first time!

8. Supervising holiday decorating.

9. Waiting impatiently for Sandy Paws.

10. Managing to be cute and naughty at the same time.

11. Stealing presents.

12. Posing for close-ups.

13. Finding Romance.

Wordy Wednesday

Wow! I have been popular this week! It's enough to make a prince blush. =^_^=

Thanks to the wonderful kitties Pearl, Bert, and Jake for giving me this award!

Here are the rules:

1. You must write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.

2. Acknowledge this post.

3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.

4. Go tell your humans to fork over the treats!

I nominate:

Pixel the Kitty

HRH Yao-Lin

The Meezers, Sammy and Miles

Samantha and Tigger

Captain Jack and Sir Dante

I was also tagged by The Zoo to do the "7 Weird Things" meme once again. Since I already did it this week, I am going to hand it over to my sisters Holly and Ivy. Here are the rules:

Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself. Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a notification on their blog.

Ok kitties . . . I am now handing it over to the Terrible Tortie Twins!

1) We are very territorial kitties. We do not like to even see another kitty outside our front door! When Grandmama's kitties Sebastian and Leon visit our porch, we puff up and hiss and growl. Tybalt likes seeing them, though.

2) We love doggies! Loki has gotten grumpy with us lately, but Dana still lets us love on her to our hearts' content.

3) Holly likes to drink out of the doggies' water bottles that mommy keeps in their crates. As soon as mommy lets the doggies out, she can hear Holly *lick lick lick lick* at the bottles.

4) Ivy insists that mommy leave the empty can of doggie stinky goodness in the sink every night after she feeds the doggies. Then Ivy dips her paw in the can to get any that is left. She thinks it is yummy.

5) Actually, both Holly and Ivy LOVE doggie stinky goodness!

6) Ivy chirps and trills, especially when she is being naughty. She always tells on herself. Holly rarely makes any noise, but lately she's been yowling at night . . . just when mommy gets in bed. She thinks it is fun.

7) Holly only sleeps on the bed with mommy if it is VERY cold outside. Ivy always sleeps with mommy, unless it is VERY hot.

Since I've done this several times now, I won't pass it on to any specific kitty, but if you like the idea and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!

Happy Wednesday, kitties!

PS: Vesper seems to be using the litterbox more, so keep your paws crossed!

Mancat Monday plus Meme and Award!

Pearl, Bert, and Jake tagged me for a meme! Here are the rules:

Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog. Share seven random and/or weird facts about yourself. Tag seven random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a notification on their blog.

1) I never knew I loved feathers until I received my secret paws! As you can see in my picture, it is LOVE LOVE LOVE!

2) At night I sleep next to my mommy, and most of the time I insist that she have her arm wrapped around me as we fall asleep. I like to have my head on her shoulder.

3) I love to watch television, especially cartoons. Sometimes I watch Animal Planet with interest, but most of the time I watch Cartoon Network.

4) I love to have popcorn when I watch movies with mommy, but I don't eat it. I just like to steal it out of the bowl and play with it.

5) When I am happy (like when I see mommy or visit the food bowl) I stand and knead with my paws and chirp.

6) My sisters love doggies more than I do. I put up with them, but they aren't my favorite furries to be around.

7) I love to steal mommy's sweaters and socks and suck on them. I even chew holes in them if she doesn't catch me at it in time. Grandmama looked this up on the internet and told me I'm a "wool-sucker." It means I was taken away from my kitty mommy too early.

I tag my lovely princess Samantha and her handsome brother Tigger, Ivy's crush Bendrix, Holly's fellow tortie polydactyl Georgia, my new doggie friend Asta, the interesting house panther Diamond Emerald-Eyes, and Kellie the Orange Cat, who never ceases to make my mommy laugh!

Oh! And I also got this great award from my "cousins" Captain Jack and Dante Barbossa! (My mommy helped my Auntie Cat name Dante . . . which makes him super special in my book!)

The Extraordinary Gold Star Award was created by - Storm, The Furry Fighter - and is for Bloggers who have achieved or done something special. The award celebrates beyond what is ordinary or usual.
1) Post the explanation and rules of the award and link back to the blogger who presented you with the award and repeat the reason why you received it.
2) Pass the Award on to two other Bloggers who you fink deserve it and explain why!

First off, I would like to pass this award on to Sassy, because she has gone above and beyond the call of duty with her Little Productions and CCSI! Because of her, I have met so many other interesting furries, and I have felt even more a part of the blogging community. Thanks so much, Sassy!

I would also like to give this award to Icon Baxter Bentley. Icon is a great mancat, and a role model for his newly acquired foster kits to look up to! I'm sure we all remember the hard times he has recently had to go through, but he has kept his humor the whole time. I admire his resilience and upbeat attitude towards life. This one is for you, Icon!

Tybalt and Torties Tuesday . . . plus meme!

What are you looking at Ivy?


It is my pink mousie!


Holly is staring at it, too.

Mommy, quit teasing us with my mousie!


I'll show you all and catch it myself!

I don't know that you can do it Tybalt.

We'll watch you and see.

Ha ha ha . . . SUCCESS!

Also, I was tagged by Mickey for this meme! These are the rules:

* Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules on your blog
* Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself
* Tag 7 random people at the end of your post & include links to their blogs
* Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog

7 Random and/or Weird Facts About Me!

1) I am named after Juliet's cousin Tybalt in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Mommy named her car Romeo. This is another reason I am never allowed outside or in the garage, because Romeo kills Tybalt in the play.

2) Straws aren't my only love. I also love to chew on bags, especially potato chip or pretzel bags.

3) I love to keep my bum warm. Sitting on the stove when the oven is on is one of my favorite things to do. Once I sat on mommy's warm sausage biscuit. It felt good! I didn't get in trouble. Mommy just laughed at me.

4) Every morning I sit outside mommy's bathroom door while she is getting ready for work and I cry and scream and claw up the carpeting outside the door.

5) I have only slipped past mommy and into the garage/basement once. Ivy has done it lots of times. I was scolded, and I didn't like that.

6) It hurts my feelings when mommy scolds me, and I sulk and refuse to come to her for MINUTES after it happens.

7) I drink out of mommy's glass when she isn't looking. So farI have discovered that I like coffee, hot chocolate, peach tea, and Dr Pepper.

I am going to tag some other new members of the cat blogging community. I tag:

The Furry Bambinos

Sassy

Tigger, the FBI Cat
