Thankful Thursday
I want to first give all my thanks and gratitude too all my great friends who helped with Cat-O-Lympics! ::Blows Kisses With Paws:: It was really fun for us and I hope for all of you.
Guess what? Tomorrow is my 400th post!
We realized that next weekend is the real Academy Awards and realized it's too soon to get it together for the Acatemy Awards, so I think we will do it the week after. It will be a No Rule activity with no winners or losers, just a celebration of anything movie related. So write a screenplay, make a movie, make a movie poster, anything you can think of and post it during that week... more details to follow.
So the other night I was napping on my bed while Mom slept, when suddenly I heard her talking to me...
"Hey sweetie, wanna snuggle? Come here, I'll give you scritches..."
I was just considering the offer, when I noticed she wasn't really speaking to me at all. She's been bringing a square tissue box to bed with her, cause of her cold, and I guess to a sleepy, nearly-blind human, a tissue box with the tissue tamped down in the middle resembles a cat body with ears.
"Finny come on!" She begged.
Kleenex Cat remained unimpressed, and refused to submit. I could hardly keep from snickering out loud as Mom went back to sleep, rebuffed. So last night, when it happened again, I couldn't help myself.
"Hey Finny, are you here for pets? Come here."
"Mew?" I said in my sweetest, you wanna touch my soft fur voice as I hid behind the pillow. "Mew (come and get it then)" I offered.
She reached out, way out, to try to pet Kleenex Cat. I was laughing so hard by now that she spotted me behind the pillow. You should have seen the double-take she did. We had a good laugh over the whole thing and I got my chin scritches after all.

Bored
Anyone else feeling a little bored?
Is there no one to swing my feather toys, and no one to push my Hot Wheels down the track for me to whap? I can't nap all the time... well okay I could, but I need a little fun too.
Mom is finally getting over her cold, so hopefully she'll be available to amuse me soon.

Cat-O-Lympics - Closing Time
Bob: I understand we have one last event Jim!
Jim: That's right Bob! This is one for The Mom, and it's called Extreme Procrastination Bob. Our Human Hostess is a real champion in this event!
Bob: I understand that on some nights this last week she was still putting together posts at the last minute, even when she thought of the events weeks ago!
Jim: That's right Bob. She likes to live on the edge! Do you remember on the first night of competition when the Mr Linky didn't work?
Bob::Chuckles:: If there was an event on swearing, our hostess might have taken home the gold! Let's not forget night two, when she thought she had deleted night one in a frenzied last minute posting debacle! And clearly tonight is no different. It's almost nine!
Jim: Good times Bob! Let's call it the exhibition sport of the games!
Bob: Well Jim it's been great fun for all of us here at Fin-Land. I hope all the pets and their humans had fun.
Jim: We were going to offer a highlight reel with all the excitement, but the events and the posts have been coming so fast Bob, we don't think it would be possible to get everyone mentioned, and we'd hate to miss anyone. Frankly it's been like herding cats!
Bob: What Jim, you mean there isn't going to be an award ceremony?
Jim: Some of the other hosts are calling winners Bob, but here at the H.C. we feel like we're all winners! We've had fun, and having the opportunity to see all the skills and creativity that our friends have displayed has been it's own reward.
Bob: So what's going to happen to us now Jim?
Jim: Well Bob, our contract has been picked up and I understand we may make future appearances here. So all ends as it should. Our hostesses are going to take a couple of days off as the human as caught a cold and Finny is worn out from all the competing, then it'll be 400 posts soon, and they have something planned for the Acatemy Awards.
Bob: Well Jim that all sounds exciting, and of course our champion procrastinator will be waiting to till the bitter end to write those posts too! We're signing off!

Cat-O-Lympics - Double Events
Bob: Well Jim it's been quite a week so far, but I understand our hostess has been "going nocturnal" to enter our first event of the day.
Jim: That's right Bob, Finny has pulled out all the stops to win in Mr Tuck's Late Night Human Wake Up Event. Fin's expertise in this event is really going to pay off.
Bob: Jim, let's get right to the video!
Jim: Um, Bob, we don't have any video... seems our host nation of Fin-Land didn't shell out for the Night Vision. We weren't "allowed in the room" for the live play by play, as it might have altered the outcome. Only the cat can be the waker-upper in order to medal in this classic event.
Bob: We're told by "The Mom" that the competitor began the event at 12:30am! Now that's taking it to the Mat-tress Jim!
Jim: The Mom fought back with a classic Ignoring You Fake Out, but Fin is a champion and she began an aria of meows that no human could ignore. The Mom struck back with a "Shut it Little Cat!" yell, but again Fin struck back.
Bob: I understand she brought out the big guns, and knocked over a glass of water on the nightstand right into the pillow!
Jim: That's right Bob, and it was OVER! Our champion was rewarded with a late night snack. Speaking of snacks let's get right into our second event, Competitive Eating.
Bob: She goes right in for the win! Look at that determination! That Chick-Hen doesn't stand a chance! She may need to change position to get those last bites.... NO!! She does it!!
Jim: Wait Bob! There seems there's a doping scandal! One of the other teams has photo evidence of performance enhancing additives!! What an upset!!
Bob: Oh My COD! I'm shocked! But wait, Fin looks truly shocked too!
Finny: I had no idea they were adding anything to my food! Mom says it's a phosphate binder so my kidney's stay well! What a shock! I never tasted anything!
Jim: Well the judges have decided to allow this Bob, citing health reasons. So there will be no disqualifications for the grannycat!

Cat-O-Lympics - Napping
Bob: Looks like Fin is trying to medal in Competitive Napping at the Nation of Huffle Mawson, Jim!
Jim: Hey Bob, let's keep it down, she's napping for gold.
Bob::whispers:: Sorry Jim. Look at this form. A side sprawl, and with a paw hide.
Jim: Look at the back paw toe digging in for napping traction! She's bringing it home! Wait! She's pulling a full belly exposure move! What a pro!
Bob: I thought you said to keep it down Jim.
Jim: Oh sorry. I got a little excited. Our Finny deserves the rest. She has been hard at work and very busy hiding from the Pawparrazzi between events.
Bob: So Jim, are we ready to sign off here at the H.C?
Jim: No Bob, we've been picked up through the weekend. Our last Cat-O-Lympics post will be on Sunday. I believe we will have Competitive Eating Saturday and Sunday may be an exhibition sport.
Finny: Hey can you keep it down? I hope all my friends have a great weekend and that you enjoyed this special Floofy Friday Olympic Edition.
