The Bath Tub Gang

The new place for the brothers to hang out is in the tub. Tannie Man just jumps in for the photo op. =^..^=

Blackie will spend endless hours yowling in the bathroom until I show up and turn on the water. Then he proceeds to get splattered with water as he drinks...sort of a bath misting experience, which leaves him all wet.

Are there any other water kitties out there? I bet you dogs live for water. I remember our family dog lived for the garden hose blasting water in her face--she loved that...crazy dogs. Why do they love to hang their heads out car windows too, I bet Splash knows...?

Blackie's Questions

Today I was in the kitchen and napping by the window. My mom sneaked up on me and took this picture. I usually jump when I hear the camera noise, but today I was enjoying the sunshine.

I would like to know the following, from you:
1. What does your human mom/dad do that drives your crazy?
2. Are you scared of thunder? If yes, where do you hide? (I run in the walk-in closet!)

All the Whippy Curly Tails send a special "Furry Friend-Shout Out" to these sweet kitties! =^..^=

Tannie Man, snuggled in

This one of my most favorite pictures! This basket is the favorite napping spot for all the Whippy Curly Tails.

Tannie has a question for all the furry blog friends:
If you could eat one thing for dinner each evening, what would it be? Would it people food or a special type of animal snack...doggie treats or Pounce for kitties? =^..^=

Houston SPCA opens it's doors to thousands of animals--Please Donate!

THE HOUSTON SPCA ESTABLISHES ANIMAL EMERGENCY HOTLINE AND OPENS ITS DOORS TO THOUSANDS OF HURRICANE VICTIMS

The Houston SPCA has established an animal emergency hotline (713) 802-0555 and is preparing to receive hundreds more animal victims.

The Houston SPCA has received more than 600 animal victims of Hurricane Katrina. We opened our doors to 263 canines and felines from the Louisiana SPCA before the storm hit and now we have accepted animals from evacuees at the Houston Astrodome, Reliant Arena and George R. Brown Convention Center.

We anticipate hundreds more in the coming days and weeks.
Monetary donations are most needed to help us care for the hundreds of extra animals in our shelter now and those we will be taking in and caring for in the coming weeks and months. CLICK HERE to donate now to the Houston SPCA.

Happy Cat...Zulu's request

All you kitties out there, Zulu and Nanu, there seems to be a trend with your pesky doggy roomies--they drive you crazy! Our mom has been laughing out loud as she reads your comments. Now we may never get her off the computer! Meep. =^..^=

To Zulu kitty here is a picture of me. My human dad caught me in the act of reviewing the status of my furry grey coat. I really love this mirror...at first I thought it was some strange kitty, but then I realized it was me--Happy Cat.

By the way, I love to sit on this wicker chase lounge that is covered in Finding Nemo beach towels and when no one is looking I have taken to digging out the cheesecloth under every bed and burrow in the box mattress, nice and dark! If I could do anything I wanted I would chase every squirrel I have every seen.... what I would do with those squirrels I don't know, meow!

Tannie has a question for Blogger Friends...

Tannie wants to know:
1. Where is your most favorite place to take a nap?
2. Where would you like to nap if your human friends would let you?
3. If you could do anything you wanted to what would it be?

Kitty & Doggy Bloggers, please leave a comment with your answers!

Houston SPCA, help Animal Victims of Katrina

The Whippy Curly Tails donated to the SPCA, in memory of Spencer, Daniel and AJ's dog. =^..^=

Animal Storm Victims Arrive at the Houston SPCA from Hurricane Katrina. Please help if you can.

The Houston SPCA extended a helping paw once again to animals impacted by disasters in the United States. Sunday morning, crews from the Louisiana SPCA arrived at the Houston SPCA. The evacuation of the Louisiana SPCA brought over 260 animals from their shelter. Due to the hit from Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast region, the Louisiana SPCA moved all animals out of their shelter to the Houston SPCA. They are now accepting animals from those who are staying in Houston Area Shelters. For those needing shelter for their pets, please their hotline at 713-802-0555.

Monetary donations are needed to help them care for the over 260 extra animals in our shelter and to help them help the Louisiana SPCA respond to the needs of the animals still in the area.

Click here if you would like to donate to the Houston SPCA. You can also click here to read Houston's SPCA home page.

Avram at his New Cat City blog provided me with this need, from one of his postings. Thanks Avram!

Tannie Man Toes

Ginger snap toes. One of my most favorite pictures of my beloved Tannie Man! These little cat toes can rush around the house in a moments notice and then leap from great heights from one cat tree to another. =^..^=

Miss Simba's afternoon nap

Ilustration Friday: "Dreams"

I hope you enjoy my interpretation of today's word, dreams, dreams of love! Enjoy... =^..^=

By popular demand, here's Blackie...

He is the sweetest boy. Always being picked on by Tannie Man and Miss Simba. He also sometimes fails to follow through with his jumps onto the bathroom counter and finds himself in the bathroom trash can--freaked out, but unharmed. =^..^=

Mattel Hot Wheels, Kitty Racecar Fans!

Gentleman Kitties start your engines. The boys just love Pablo’s vintage Hot Wheels. I even got carried away last year and purchased my own set of Hot Wheels on eBay!

Tannie Man is the Dale Earnhardt Jr. of the track. He will run himself ragged chasing the cars around the track. Blackie has bursts of energy like the drag car racers. He will suddenly leap out from nowhere and take out a car or run around the track like a madman.

Blackie, a fearless Kitten

As a kitten Blackie was fearless...we caught him in the act of one of his jumps. I love this picture. Today he still jumps around the house, but not as fearless. Go B Go! =^..^=

A friendly Spotted Face

Today I was running some errands, like picking up cat food for the furry gang and met this nice doggy!
Doris Faye was sunning herself outside the local grocery store. Very friendly gal.

Family Pet, Chessie Dog

1962, what a great moment...the purest reflection.
