Jack or Jill

Meet Jack, or perhaps Jill, our newest oppossum friend. We don't get to go out and play wif Jack, but when da biped isn't looking he sneaks up on our porch and talks to us threw the door. The other night, Jack made the mistake of visiting while da biped was still up. She picked up da flashy box and followed Jack through the yard.


Jack has absolutely no fear of da biped or da flashy box. Obviously he didn't talk to his cousin Jeb who got da pointy end of a pitch fork when he was found in da chicken house. Actually da biped really felt bad about dat when she read up on possums. According to Possum Pop they don't eat chickens and most likely he was just eating da chicken feed. Anywho, da biped waddled after Jack and he crossed da road, nibbled on some dandelion greens (Now da biped has another excuse for not mowing the darned lawn) and then he headed towards da pond.




All of a sudden da froggies started jumping into da pond and Jack disappeared into the bushes (weeds). We don't tink dat he caught a frog dat time cuz of da biped and da flashy box, but he was all wet when she caught up wif him on da other side of da pond.

Wheez, sneeze and grumbles

Our friend Rufus did a review of the Furminator so da biped decided to show a picture of Grandma de-furminating Smudge. If you peek you can see Giggles leg. He was the first one to the table when we got it out. Us kitties are trained to come running when da biped thumps the table wif da furminator. It kinda resembels a Biped family reunion. There's a few that get a bit tipsy (or would dat be nipsy) while standing in line. Then a couple of us get tired of waiting for their turn so we start a fight. Then Dumb and Dumber start shouting (barking) and trying to shove us cats out of the way so they can get combed. Even shy little Sheesh comes out and joins the fracas. If she was a biped she'd probably be the reclusive artistic aunt. When its Dumb and Dumber's turn da biped heads outside. After one time of trying to clean up drifts of white hair in the house, she makes some lame excuse about going green and letting da birdies use doggie hair to reinforce their nests.



We're sorry dat we've been slow posting lately. Da biped is still fighting wif da carpet and da paint and she's sick again wif another cold. This is the third cold since Christmas. Grandma is sick again too. Smudge thinks that she may have furballs from combing his hair but da biped says no, that its some bug thats made them sick. Speaking of furballs, check out dis one. Dats about five minutes worth of brushing on Smudge and Giggles.

We want Cheesecake!

heesh....."Whose going to tell her?"
smudge...."I think it's already showing in the title."
ollie...."Do you think she'll say yes?"
heesh...."I don't think so. Wif her milk alergy she never buys cheesecake anymore."
smudge..."Huh?"
ollie...."We don't mean dat kind of cheesecake. We meant da Cheesecake kitty on
Daisy's blog"
smudge ..."But dat kitty is in Florida wif Daisy."
ollie..."Hey maybe we could get Aunt Zimmie to adopt Cheesecake!"
smudge..."Yeah she lives in Florida."
ollie... "We can get da biped to email her. She's really nice and only has three kitties."
smudge...."Hey dey have da extra space shuttle on da pad. She can take dat an zip right down to where Cheesecake is."
heesh..."She's probably not even allergic to cheesecake like da biped."
ollie whispers to smudge...."Sumtimes I think dat da biped dropped heesh on his head when he was a kitty."

The KFC chicken hunt continues

a very excited Ollie here..... "Quess what we got! A post card from KFC. Remember dat da biped wrote them and complained when she couldn't get the free chicken?"


"They even wrote da biped a note and appologized."

annie...."Da notes hard to read. What does it say?"
ollie...."It says hers's your coupon for a free two peice dinner."
annie...."I don't see a Coupon?"
ollie...."Our coupon is gone?"
annie...."It's been ripped off da card. There's just a little nubbin left."
ollie...."I think it's time to put Dumb and Dumber to work.
annie...."Huh?"
ollie..."We can have dem interogate da mailman. I bet he has chicken fingers."

Cody has a new Name!

heesh here......"If anyone wants Cody's address so they can send sympathy cards the biped will be happy to give it to you. I thought my name was bad until Uncle re-named poor Cody. So here it is.....
CLICQUOD.....pronounced Cli-Ko. Uncle (proudly) stated that Clicquod was the dude that invented champagne. We're really worried that Cody's self esteme may be damaged by the awful name, so we've decided to rename him. We really thought and thought not wanting to insult poor Uncle. He can't help it if he's a man and thus name challenged. It probably runs in da family because his father wanted to name da biped "Quits" when she was born. Thank goodness grandma stepped in. So here he is! Our new Cousin...."


"Baby Bubbles"

Our New Cousin Cody

"Uncle called this morning wanting da biped to pick him up so he could get his new "boycat" By da time da biped got her camera turned on, Uncle had "Cody" (wasn't there an outlaw named Cody in da ole west?)in our old carrier and we were on da way to da car. It was Caturday at da animal shelter so uncle got him for half price. He's all fixed and up to date on his shots and is a little less than a year old."

The day Missouri blew away

"ollie here! We're recooping from da big storm dat hit us yesterday. It was very scary and dark and then the rain came! And then the wind came, and then the rain and the wind killed our lights for a whole day. It only lasted about a half hour but it did a lot of damage. Da biped went out and took pictures. Da storm covered about a 100 square mile section of Missouri. Our home is ok, and most of our trees survived, but a large part of our state is really hurting. One poor man died of a heart attack after being thrown from his house."


"Here's a picture of our neighbor's trees."


"Here's an old trailer which lost it's roof. Its about 20 miles from our home. It was really a miracle that more homes weren't hit. The people were lucky because they weren't home."



"here's another view of da trailer. A smaller tree fell on da front end."



"The news said it was a bunch of thunderstorms and not a tornado that came thru our area. He said that it was more like the kind of winds that come from a hurricane." "When the storm left us it got stronger and turned into several tornados."



"Here's a tree on our property. Mr. Squirrel is checking it out. We lost quite a few of our big oaks. Does anyone need any fire wood?" Our home sits right in da middle of our forest so we count ourselves very lucky that none of the trees that are close fell over."









"you can see how the wind twisted this tree off at the ground. It's about a half mile from our house. It's on da biped's other peice of property."

"Below is another tree that tipped over. It missed our neighbors house by about 20 feet."



"We're hoping dat all our Missouri cat friends homes are ok and dat there homes didn't blow away."
