Floofy Friday

Who could resist this face requesting an additional meal?

Dad. That's who.

Lucky for me, Mom is a pushover. 

Dad is definitely the rule maker and I am the rule breaker. As I've said before, how do you know where the line is if you don't try to cross it. Who is the pushover at your place friends? 

On a different note, Mom and I wanted to take a moment to send our best healing thoughts our to our friends who are unwell right now. Having a sick fur baby is so hard and Mom's heart goes out to all our friends in this position. We have seen amazing things happen with the power of purrs and I plan on spending the weekend with my purr motor on high. Stay well friends.

Finally Floofy Friday

Floofy Friday Mom? Just making it in under the wire as it's nearly Saturday...

Oh my, and an old pick at that. Tsk, tsk.

Wow! Reaching waaay back to the kitten archives. Shameless pandering.

This post has been brought to you by the slacker formerly known as Mom. Yes friends I have been abandoned. Left alone, all alone, with my Mousey. Sure they claimed it was only night, but as I've said before, one night in human years is seven in cat years. I have turned the back of disrespect to them both... after catching up on some neglected pets of course. 

I hope your weekends go well friends. I will be alternating snuggles and irritation with my family.

Floofy Friday

Finny?

It's Friday, do you think you can show off your floofy belly?

Do you think this works Mom?

Yes Fin my sweet girl, I think the weekend can start now! I had my crown done today after my root canal and I am hoping my sweet pusser-pie will favor me with lots of healing lap snuggles this weekend. Her winter floof is starting to come in and she feels just like mink to me.

I'm on vacation next week and I can't wait. I may post some old favorites with some new stuff too, but I'm playing it by ear. Have a great weekend everyone!

Mom and Finny De Floof

Floofy Friday

In another edition of Phoning it in on Friday, here are some old floof pictures for your floof viewing pleasure.

I'm really workin it for the Pawparrazzi here

What do you mean you had a rough week Mom?

Mom claims she has had a rough week at work. I guess I'll believe her. She has seemed stressed when she's arrived at home. Tonight she even failed to ask me how my cat day was and ask me who the pretty kitty is. Of course we both know the answer, but I still like to be asked.

I knew my job was clear. Demand snuggles and lay on her lap looking cute as possible till she gives that face (you know the one - the squealy face). I even exposed my belly at closer range and let her hold my front paw while we snuggled. Cause I'm a giver, and truth be told, I do love her. She's Mom, nuff said.

Hope you all have a snuggling and relaxing weekend friends. Snuggle your humans, I imagine they can all use it.

Floofy Friday

Just when I thought I'd be able spend a weekend on My Porch, I think there's gonna be rain. I guess it won't be too bad if it fills up my fountain.

it's looking a little dry down here Mom

I guess I'll be spending time snuggling instead. Mom had a root canal through her crown today and she is a bit tender in the gums. For all my friends who sent healing thoughts her way they really helped. She says it went much better than she feared. The doctor was very kind (and hunky) and made sure she was really numbed up. She has trouble getting numb and as a result she's a GIANT wussy and was really needing to go for a long time.

I think it's odd that if I show the slightest sign of discomfort in any way and they whisk me off to the Vet (I don't even have to show discomfort - just eat more or less than usual even). Yet my parents will complain and fuss about various ailments and yet they fight like a tabby to avoid going to the human vet. Just once I'd like to shove Mom in the PTU (Prisoner Transport Unit) and take her in.

Ah well a kitty can dream. In the meantime I shall sit on her and smoother her with healing purrs... and try to sneak some healing cat spit into her water glass when she isn't looking... cause I'm a giver.

What do you have planned this weekend friends? I hope you have a great weekend.

Floofy Friday

Psst, Friday? Are you out here again?

Kinda smells like Thursday... Nope, Friday! Woot!

Thank Cod It's Friday! My Dad is gonna be busy carving up pumpkins and Mom is looking forward to watching scary movies. I like it when she watches scary movies cause she likes to snuggle me close. I do have to be careful of things that make her jump though, cause she's a tosser.

True story (according to Mom) when she was a young human she went to see a movie, and because she likes to feel "one" with the movie, she sat in one of the front rows with her big sack of popcorn. She had just settled in when the trailer for the movie "The Fog" came on, suddenly a hand jumped out of the fog and she tossed her hands up to her face... unfortunately she still had the popcorn sack in her hands. So there she sat in a shower of popcorn which landed all over her.

There was a couple of seconds of dead silence in the packed theater before the whole place started to laugh. She was picking kernels out of her hair throughout the film to the snickers of the audience. At the end, as they began to exit the theater, the man sitting behind her sat forward and patted her on the shoulder as he whispered "You were the best part of the movie!" and they both laughed together.

Mom has always dreamed of being part of the movies, and since she can't be tossing popcorn in every theater, she's decided to write a screenplay. Someone has to write them right? I approve of this blatant disregard of writing my next book because it's got tigers in it.


::Shameless Plug Alert:: For any of my new readers I do have a book out now, also called Housecat Confidential, and it's available in pretty much all the e-book formats and in paperback on Amazon. ::End of the Plug::

Hope you are all having a great weekend. What do you have planned friends?

Floofy Friday

I brought the Floof, now where's the Friday? 

I'm going to find Friday... I don't know where it hides the rest of the week, 

but it's time to hunt it down don't you think?

Maybe it's over here...

Friday? Are you hiding in here... sorta smells like you.

 

Yeah, definitely smells like Friday in here.

Helloooooo? I know you're in here. 

Don't be shy, everyone is gonna be thrilled to see you!

Don't worry friends, I'm on the case. Once I find Friday, I'll start hunting down that elusive Saturday. Luckily Sunday always seems to be right where you left it. Purrs and love to you on this fine pre-weekend friends.

Floofy Friday

Well friends it was almost a Floofless Friday. It all started innocently enough, as most things do, at the bathroom sink. I was waiting for Mom to turn on my faucet so I could dive in for a sip. Mom had left her future shower towel on the counter and, since it was in my spot, I nestled on it.

When Mom emerged from her shower, she was bothered about me being on her towel - something about cat hair and wet flesh - who listens, not me. I really stretched out as she dried herself off with another towel and got dressed. Maybe it was the irritation that made her pick up the Zoom Groom and begin to aggressively comb at my side floof.

She caught the edge of my floof with the Zoomy and pulled it across the towel. She noticed that it stretched out my furs and made it easy to see the loose strands. I noticed the aggressive noise it made. We were both excited at the process. One side of my body was defloofed, but I drew the line when she tried to get to the other side.I was over-stimulated and a little warning bitey was issued.

I must say I did really enjoy it and the sleek furs were very nice. I might even pretend to not notice the other side being groomed next time.

I know you need your fix before the weekend can begin so behold - Me, pre-de-floofing.

 

Now Imagine half of that side floof gone, don't worry there's still plenty left. Enjoy your weekend friends!

Floofy Friday

 Hello Friday. I've missed you.

Yesterday I thought I'd hit the jackpot. Mom was late coming home. Dad was getting irritated by my requests for my meal, something about whining, and I finally convinced him to outlay the goods.

Mom tends to be stingy with my food (and most other things too actually). Dad dumped out a huge portion of food in my dish. I could hardly believe it. I felt like a lioness who had taken down a water buffalo on the Serengeti. I tucked into that food like - Mom was gonna take it away, but of course she wasn't home, yet. 

Mom arrived awhile later, about the time the tummy ache kicked in. Three yaks and two hairballs later, I felt a lot better. I'm still feeling a little full and out of sorts today. I hope to sleep it off today so I'm ready for the weekend. 

How about you friends, what do you have planned?

Floofy Friday

Are you ready for some Friday Floof?

This way?

 Or this way?

Ah, just right. 

Mom says that photo series was like a floofy mug shot. Apparently I'm being arrested for cuteness. The punishment for that crime you ask... corporal cuddling. 

Yes, shortly after these pics I was scooped and cuddled against my will. The fact that I enjoyed it for the first few minutes in no way makes up for the additional snuggles forced upon me. A darling grannycat's work is never done.

Hope you all have a great weekend planned.

Floofy Friday

Put your paws in the air!

Yippee! It's Friday Friends.

Time to kick up those paws and get on with the weekend!

And now for your belly viewing pleasure...

Weekend, you may now begin. 

Have a great one friends!

Floofy Friday

Ah, Porch Time. Sun so bright, I look like a pawless hovercat.

That's better. Darling paws all present and accounted for. 

So some yahoo declared September 9th as "No Cats on the Internet Day". Seriously? Can you even imagine? No cats? Many of my pals are celebrating instead "Mo Cats on the Internet Day" take that yahoo. 

What do you all have planned this weekend? We hope it's something fun. The weather is supposed to break finally and I have big plans for my porch. I couldn't help but notice that leaves are all over the place... and my little garden, well, let's say it's a situation. 

A Grannycat's work is never done. Have a great weekend friends!

Floofy Friday

Yes, these rocks are sharp on the paws. Gotta walk carefully. 

Plus I have to try not to laugh too hard when Mom is shouting norty words walking on them, trying to get the shot. HaHa ::Snorts:: Mew

Better move fast Mom! Lot's of things to check out.

 Those humming birds are gonna need to be on alert.

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a great weekend friends.

P.S. Saturday is Dad's B-day so we may not be around visiting much this weekend.

P.P.S. Mom thinks I'm feeling a bit under the weather, although I'm still spunky. Shedding season is rough this year, so if you could send me a few purrs, I'm sure they'll do the trick. 

Finally Floofy Friday

Well Summer finally really kicked in here. It's been as high as 115 some days this week. It's made us all like slugs. I guess my pleasant letter to Mr Global Warming has not had the desired effect. I'm gonna have to think about how to approach this. 

It's been so hot that my parents scurry into the house and try to stay inside as much as possible. So my porch time has been cut down to the minimum. Just trying to stay cool by lots of drinking, um, water that is.

Overall we've been pretty luckily this Summer, as it's normally this hot for most of July and parts of August. This time of the year Mom begins to wonder why we live in the desert.

We can't wait for Autumn..

When a grannycat can lounge on her porch without worrying about burning her asterisks on the cement. Have a great weekend friends, and try to stay cool. If you live somewhere cold, please feel free to contact me for a sun swap.

Floofy Friday

Maybe this should be titled Foliage Friday?

Ah, this looks better.

So there I was, enjoying a nice sniff at this plant, when I was assaulted! A sassy little humming bird flew right up in my face. I was shocked and appalled. Mom started laughing (yes she has wildly inappropriate responses).

Yep, it was all fun and games till the humming bird flew right into Mom's face too! She was so startled that she stepped back in dismay.

Humming Bird 2 - Mom and Fin 0

Can you imagine the nerve? I must say I almost admire that level of sass - just not in a tweet. When I napped today, I dreamed of humming bird covered in gravy - it's small, but eats like a meal.

I can see that my work is cut out for me when the weather improves. The tweets are running amok. Sigh. So what is everyone up to this weekend? We hope you have a great time friends!

Finally Floofy Friday

Oh. My. Cod! Mom posted a Wednesday post on Friday! She didn't even realize her error until lunch time today! Does she not realize that many of you depend on my floof to get your weekend off on the right paw?

All I can say is that I am sorry for the shortcomings of my staff writer. Sigh. If it weren't for all the lovins, I'd have requested a replacement already.

And now without further ado... Your Floofy Friday Cat Fix

What's that I smell?

Is it Saturday?

No, still Friday... just in time. 

You may now proceed with your regularly scheduled weekend. We hope you have something fun planned friends.

Floofy Friday

Mom has been a complete waste of space this week, something about working, blah blah. So instead of a fresh picture of a darling floofy grannycat you'll have to start your weekend off with some of our favorites.

Luckily I'm darling, so I'm sure she'll be forgiven. We should have named this post Phoning it in Friday. I think it's all the hot weather is draining out our will to think big thoughts. Little thoughts like, feed me, pet me and fill my kibble bowl are really all I care to muster.

What about you friends? Are your brain cells melting? Hey wasn't Mr Global Warming supposed to lay off? Instead he has been a big fat show off. Sigh. I guess my next letter is going to have to be more firm.

Have a great weekend and stay cool, or warm depending where you are.

Floofy Friday

Maybe Mom thought it was unfocused Friday?

Ah well, I still rock it.

I haven't heard anything back from G Warming. Maybe this weekend. So what do you all have planned for this weekend?

Mom is threatening Summer Cleaning (yeah, she's a little late for Spring Cleaning, although she would argue she's early for Fall Cleaning). I'm all for it - unless it involves de-floofy any part of the house, or the Evil Dyson, or throwing out my sack (I have it perfectly tamped down)... maybe I don't really want her to clean after all. She's even threatening to call the carpet cleaning company. Hopefully she looses steam, she usual does. No cat wants strangers in the house with major equipment.

Have a great weekend friends. Stay cool or warm as the case may be.

Oh yeah, has anyone seen July? Mom keeps saying she has no idea where it went.

Floofy Friday

Well it happened friends... Mom found the extreme close up option on the camera.

Lovely grannycat coming at you.

Luckily I am able to pull it off with style.

I'm guaranteed a chin scritch with this one.

This is my pensive look.

So what are your plans for the weekend friends? I have my usual planned, naps, eating, and keeping my family in line. I feel like I need to mix things up a bit. Everyone is a little too comfortable. I don't like anyone to think I'm too old to cause a little trouble. Maybe I'll find a way onto the table (not allowed) or the desk (not allowed either). I'll have to give it some thought... right after my nap.

Floofy Friday

Hard to imagine it's already Friday again. I've noticed when Mom and Dad have short work weeks it tends to throw my schedule off too. Seems like I was just getting Mom off to work and now it's Friday. Not that I'm complaining, I like lap time with my nap time.

There was one nice thing that happened while our A/C was out last weekend - this little fella came in the house.

I'm a fan. No I am.

I can't say why I love it so, but I like to feel those little grate bar things on my paws. I reach all the way to the top with my front paws for a nice stretch and then slide all the way down it. So fun! It's great to lean on too, as you can see. I did not care for it when it was on, but when it's off, I'm right there. Mom is threatening to take my new friend back out to the garage... What? It's not right.

So what do you have planned for your weekend friends? We hope it's filled with all the things you love.
