Sick Pets

Munchkin here,

Last week I sneezed in Bob's face and now he and Monika are both sick. I have been watching over them both and I have all the kitties here purring on them to make them better. Monika feels so bad she took today off and went to her Doctor instead of going to work. Also Bob is drinking chicken broth for breakfast so it is obvious that he is not feeling to great either. Please send them some extra get well purrs so they feel better quicker.

Tail Chasing Fun

This morning I discovered a fun game to play. I was laying on top of our tree when I saw my tail wagging around so I started to chase it. Bob said he wished the light was on and he had the camera so he could have filmed it. I don't know about all of you, but I never thought it would be so hard to catch my own tail.

*laughs*

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to all our friends. 

Foiled Again!

Last night Monika was eating saltines while she watched TV. I thought I might like some too, so when she went to bed I pulled the pack down from the shelf and proceeded to try to open it, but Bob caught me and took and moved them to a higher shelf.

*pout*

Kittens!!!!

Bob here,

A couple of the outside Mama cats have brought their kittens to our door for food.!

This is Tabitha and her kitten.  We think this kittens Father may be the cat that we call Silver.

This is a tuxy mama that we have not named yet with both kittens. The one with the white feet is Tabitha's again and the little brown tabby is the tuxy's. The cat trying to hide behind the post is another that we have not named. I am not even sure if it is male or female yet.

My Morning

I decided I wanted some cuddles so when Bob got up to get his morning meds, I jumped onto his chair and when he came back he washed his meds down with a little coffee and then he picked me up and sat me into his lap as he sat back down. Then he proceeded to give me bunches of pets and cuddles until I was all attentioned out and wanted to get down.

*smile*

A Change In The Food Routine

Monika decided to get Bonnie some special food to try to help her loose weight. Now Bonnie gets her food in the bedroom twice a day while we get ours in the usual places. Then all the food goes up so she does not over eat. That makes for me being hungry in the morning, but I am getting used to it now.

Bonnie's Christmas Collar

Bonnie here,

Monika put this pretty collar on me at the last adoption event and I like it, so she asked Bob to take some pictures of me in it. I tend to hide when the camera is pulled out because I don't like the flash, so Bob had trouble getting a good one, but I think this one came out quite nice.

*smile*

New Food

Munchkin here,

The other thing Bob got from Chewy this month is Blue Wilderness Tasty Toppers Tasty Chicken Morsels. This is made to be served as a topper over kibble, or by itself as wet food. Monika opted to give it to us as wet food and though Bonnie and I absolutely loved it, Obsidian, Ashlyn and Cosette would not touch it. Ashlyn said something about it being too much like human food and the others nodded in agreement. That is something I do not understand, because I love human food, but that's OK because it leaves more for me to enjoy. Eight paws all the way up!

New treat

Munchkin here,

This month Bob chose two new things to try from Chewy. Unfortunately he did not notice that the Canidae Cat treat were Salmon though. Obsidian is allergic to fish and the rest of us have grown up not eating any fish except for tuna and so did not care for it. Our foster sister Bonnie ate some of it the first day Bob gave it to us and she even went around and ate what he had given us, but when he tried to give her some again the next morning she would not touch it. Bob thinks he should have waited before he gave it to her again because she probably was tired of it from eating so much the first time. He and Monika decided instead to try giving some to the outside cats and the four that were at the door loved it so that gives it 16 overwhelming paws up. Come back tomorrow to find out what else we tried.

Nap Time With Bob

Bonnie here,

It looked like Obsidian had a good thing doing, so this morning when Bob went back to sleep after dropping Monika off at work, I jumped up on the bed and got under covers with him and laid with my head in his hand. I staid there for about 20 minutes, then I started getting too hot, so I came out from under the covers and laid over the covers by Monika's pillow. I think when I find my forever home I am definitely going to be a Daddy's girl.

*smile*

Morning Attentions

This morning Bob went back to sleep after Monika left for work like he usually does, but I decided I wanted some attention, so I jumped onto the bed and pushed my nose into his face. He told me that he was trying to sleep, but he lifted the covers for me so I could get under them with him. Then he gave me light belly rubs until I decided I was too warm and crawled out to go find a kitty to play with.

*smile*

They Grinched Us!

Bonnie here,

Bob and Monika got a Grinch hat at PetCo and decided to torment take pictures of all their kitties in it.

Their first victim subject was Obsidian and he fussed around a bit before he figured out how to get it off.

Then came Cosette and you could tell that she had been watching Obsidian because she got it of rather quickly.

I thought I would be lucky since I am only their foster, not their forever cat but then next thing I knew Monika was putting it on my head.

Then came Ashlyn. Doesn't she do the dejected look quite nicely?

And last was Munchkin. Monika was afraid that Munchkin would not let her put it on her, but she surprised them by not putting up much of a fuss.

New Tree Revisted

Cosette and I have already decided that the new tree is a keeper.  The other cats are indecisive as of yet though.

New Cat Tree!!!!

Monika went shopping while Bob was sleeping and when she got home she called Bob to help her bring stuff in and there was a new cat tree!

*smile*

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope everyone's was wonderful.

Thief Kitty

One of Monika's friends at work gave her a sample sized bag of Rachael Ray's NUTRISH for cats and she gave it to Bob to try with us yesterday morning. Only he was still half asleep and after she left for work, he went back to bed and left the bag on the dining room table. Later, when he woke up, he had forgotten about it so I was a good boy for as long as I could hold out, but finally at about 2 pm I gave into temptation and stole the bag. I got it onto the floor and after a little experimentation I managed to open it. Then I chowed down and I decided that NUTRISH is DELISH!

*smile*

Can't Blame Me For Trying!

Bonnie here,

Early Thursday morning, when Bob came home from work, there was a kitty outside the door and I could here her asking Bob for some food. I was a bit hungry myself, so when he opened the door to come in, I walked out. Right away he asked me where I thought I was going, then picked me up and put me back inside. Then after he made sure I was away from the door he put some food out for the other kitty.

Dream On Bob

Cosette here,

I was laying on the floor by Bob's chair and he picked me up and  put me in his lap to give me pets. That lasted all of two seconds and I was out of there!

*laughs*

Bob Has A Long Day

Bob got an email telling him his shift today was canceled so he staid up late last night. Now this morning they called asking him to come in because someone called in sick. Looks like he is going to have a long caffeinated day.

*laughs*

A New Treat

This month Chewy sent Bob some treat for us to try. It is Orijen Regional Red Cat Treat and it has a mixture of dehydrated wild boar, Angus beef and Alberta lamb. Monika gave some to each of us when it came in yesterday and we all loved it except for Cosette. She sniffed it and then turned and walked away from it, so Munchkin and I ate hers for her. Our foster sister Bonnie had some and loved it also, so all in all that makes a big 16 paws up!

*yum*

Embarrased

I'm all embarrassed! Bob was in the closet and I tried to jump onto the door to watch him, but I missed and Monika had to rescue me.

*pout*

Late Night Nap Time

Munchkin here,

Last night I jumped onto the bed to lay between Bob and Monika in the crook of Bob's arm for a nap, but Obsidian was already there and did not want to move. So I went and laid in the crook of his other arm and we held him down quite nicely.

*smiles*

Trapped

Bonnie here,

Yesterday Bob forgot to block the closet door shut so I went in there to explore and take a nap. Then he came in and saw the door open, so he peeked in but he did not see me, so he closed it and blocked it shut. I couldn't get out until Monika got home an hour and a half later!

*pout*

Teasing Bob

Cosette here,

I like messing with Bob. I come up and lay close to his chair when he is on his computer, and then when he reaches down to give me pets or scritches I walk away. Silly man person. He should know I am only Monika's girl.

Peaceful Queen

I have been watching my family from the bridge and I got a pleasant surprise this morning. Queen Munchkin has been very jealous of Princess Bonnie because Bonnie want to be Bob's girl too, so she has always been hissy and mean to her. But this morning when I looked down they were both on the bed peacefully sleeping with Bob.

*smile*

Cat Man

Munchkin here,

This morning Bob gave us all cuddles and rubbed his cheek on us to mark us with his scent. I think Frostin may have been right. Maybe Bob is part cat.

You're Not Monika!

Cosette here,

This morning I saw the light on in the bathroom but the door was closed. I thought Monika was in there, so I reached my paws under the door to let her know I wanted in, but she wouldn't open the door. Then, when the door finally opened, I saw that it was actually that man person and I turned and ran.

Bad Boy Kitty

This morning I was playing too rough with Bonnie and Bob hollered at me about a bazillion times. Then he stopped playing and closed me in the bathroom. He only left me in there about 20 seconds, then he opened the door and asked me if I was going to behave myself. I gave him my best pouty face and said I would. Then after telling me I better or he was going to close me back in there for a long time out, he let me out and I went and found one of my spring toys to play with.

Cat Catcher

Monika closed me in the bedroom this morning and then started playing with Bonnie using one of my favorite toys, the cat catcher. I could hear them playing and I cried at the door because I wanted to play too. Then she opened the door and it was my turn and I had bunches of fun chasing it around the bed.

Late Night Snuggle Kitty

Last night, when Bob went to bed, I climbed up between him and Monika and asked him if I could get under the covers. He lifted them for me and I snuggled in just above his hip and enjoyed light pets and scritches until I started getting to hot. Then I pushed my way back out and went to sleep by his feet.

Treasure Trove

This morning Monika saw me trying to reach under the China hutch, so she asked Bob to get stuff out from under it for me. You should have seen all the stuff! There were about 15 springs of all sizes and colors, about 10 assorted balls, anther 12 or so mousies a nipnanna and a couple of shoestring caterpillars that Bob made from mismatched laces. And then along with all that stuff, there was a thing of Bob's earplugs for work, Monika's missing mechanical pencil, a pad and a warranty card for something. I wonder how those got under there?

*laughs*

Monika Is Sneaky

This morning Monika made sure no kitties were in the bedroom, and closed the door, then went to the back of the living room and got the big cat carrier. I know it is the one she uses for the adoption events, so I was not worried, but poor Bonnie tried to run and hide under the bed and she couldn't get in there. I'm sure she will still make it difficult to get her into it, but with Bob off this morning to help double team her, she doesn't have much of a chance.

I got Nip!!!

Yesterday, while he and Monika were watching TV, Bob made a nip pillow and when he started putting the nip into it I asked if I could have some, so he put some on the coffee table for me.

*smile*

There Are Kittens In Monika's Computer!

Monika was at her computer when I heard strange kittens. Then she turned her monitor toward me and I could see them. They were running around all over the place and sliding on the floor, but when I tried to find them after they slid off the screen they were gone. I tried getting into the screen to play with them, but I could not figure out how to get in there, and then someone tossed them a crinkle ball and I tried to get it but the screen stopped me again. I wish I could have gotten in there to join the fun.

*pout*

Belly Rubs!

Yesterday, while Bob was cleaning our litters, I put in an order for some belly rubs. Bob smiled and said; "Let me wash my hands first." The when he came back he gave me bunches of belly rubs, scritches and cuddles. It's nice to have well trained humans for pets.

*smile*

Cuddle Time

Ashlyn here,

This morning I was the only kitty in the computer room with Bob and he called me to him and gave me bunches of hugs, pets and cuddles.

*smile*

She Spoiled My Fun

This morning, before Bob got up, I decided that I wanted to play with Bob's calendar. So I jumped onto his computer tower and started trying to figure out how to get it off the wall. Then Monika saw me and told me to leave it alone, but I just kept swatting at it. Then she showed me the squirt bottle, but I did not let that deter me either. So she squirted me and not wanting to get soaked I of course jumped down and ran away.

So Much For Napping On The Bed

Cosette here,

This morning I decided I was going to take a nap on Bob and Monika's bed, so I walked in and hopped up. Only one problem, when I got up there Bob was there and even though he was half asleep he reached his hand toward me and said; "Good morning."; to which I thought; "Yikes! That man person is here!" and I jumped back down and ran away.

My Window Seat

I got Bob to open the blinds for me so I can watch for lizards and other kitties that go by. I always sit on Monika's printer when I am looking out the window. I like it better than the pillow that is on top of the litter box below the window.

Moving Pictures

Monika took this picture of me and she thought she might have moved while she was taking it so she decided to take another picture. So I waited patiently until she was ready to take the second picture and then I showed her what moved is.

*laughs*

Doors Are High!

This morning Bob was in his closet putting clothes away and, since we are not allowed in the closets, I jumped onto the door to watch him. He talked to me while I was doing it and told me I was a good boy, but then when he was done and ready to close the door I could not figure out how to get back down. He told me to just jump and that I would be OK, but I was so high up and I was nervous. Then he reached up and gave me a push and when I landed I was fine. I guess he was right.

*smile*

Embarrassed!

I'm so embarrassed. Yesterday Bob was coming out of the closet in the bedroom, so I ran to jump onto the dresser and get some attentions. Only I missed. My head cleared the top of it, but the rest of my body slammed into it and I fell to the floor. Bob squatted down to see if I was all right, but I was so embarrassed that I just ran and hid. I can't believe that I did that, and even worse that Bob saw it.

*blush*

Things I Learned Last Week

I learned two important things last week. The first is that Bonnie hits hard. I was playing with her and she decided that she was done before I was so she swatted me. The second is that Cosette likes giving other kitties baths. She licked my behind so much, I was afraid she was going to lick it off.

Obsidian Takes Over

I asked Frostin if I could take over his blog and he said it was OK as long as he could make visiting posts on occasion. Bob chose the name Miscreant Mewsings because he said all of us cats here are miscreants at times so it fits well, but he agreed that I am the main miscreant so I get to call it my blog.

*smile*

New Food Report

Obsidian here, Chewy sent us another new cat food to try out. It's trufood tasty pairings by Wellness.  The flavor they sent us is chicken, pumpkin and turkey, which is good for my sensitive stomach.  Bob and Monika have to feed me organic pumpkin every once in a while be cause I get irregular and it makes my poo stinky.  This has the pumpkin in it so this stinky goodness makes my stomach feel better if I am sick. It also tastes great. The only one that didn't like it was Ashlyn, but we kind of expected that because she generally does not like wet food. over all that is a big 16 paws up. We all lay on our backs when voting so we can raise all of our paws. *smile*

Bob Goofed!

Obsidian here, Monika watched the video of Ashlyn's bath time and noticed there was no bath, so Bob checked and realized he cut off the wrong end when he edited it.  Here is the full version. *laughs*

Bath Time For Ashlyn

Ashlyn here, I have decided that I really like Cosette. She is very sweet and she gives me such wonderful baths.

Meet Bonnie

Hi, I'm Bonnie. I tend to try to avoid the camera, so Bob had to hold me so Monika could get a picture that shows my face. I'm a little on the shy side, but Bob and Monika are very nice and the other cats are mostly friendly too. I swatted Obsidian last time he snarled at me and now he is mellowing down some.

There's an Intruder!

Obsidian here, Bob and Monika let a new foster cat into the house and I do not like it at all. I just finally talked them into keeping me so I could get all the loving that I want and be spoiled for life and now this girl cat that isn't even a kitten that I can play with is here and stealing all of my attentions. *pout*

I Won Again, For Real This Time

Obsidian here, Bob and Monika have decided they are keeping me! I don't have to be adopted any more! Now, do I want to be Prince Obsidian, or just be my plain old miscreant self? *smile* Also; I will have to go back in the blog to find out when my Gotcha Day was. Bob checked for me. It was September 1st. That means my one year gotchaverary just passed too!

Mo-Cats Day

As far as we are concerned, every day is Mo-Cats Day!!

New Stinky Goodness

Princess Ashlyn here, Bob got a new cat food from Chewy.com for us all to try and give a report on. It was from Nutrisca and it had chicken and shrimp in it. Usually I do not like canned food, but this was wonderful. All four of us ate it all up. Sixteen paws all the way up. *smile*

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

In loving memory of King Obsidian, Princess Boots and Prince Frostin.

I Think I Won

Obsidian here, Yesterday I followed Bob into the bathroom and he told me I didn't want to come in there because he was going to make it stinky. So, I decided I would beat him to it and climbed into the litter box. Bob's eyes started watering, then he turned pale, but that only lasted a few seconds, and then he started turning blue. I didn't know that humans could change colors like that! It was awesome!!!! *laughs*

I DON'T Want To Be Adopted

Obsidian here, Yesterday Monika decided to take me to the cat adoption thing again to see if I would behave better now that I have grown up some. Instead I behaved even worse. I was pissed off and hissy the whole time because I don't want to be adopted, I want to live with her and Bob.

Billy SweetFeets Needs Our Help

Prince Frostin here. I was checking on all my friends and I found Billy SweetFeets crying so I went down to talk to him. He said his bad eye got infected and that it was making the rest of him more sick than he usually feels. His Mommy has talked to the v-e-t and they said that the eye would need to be removed, but that costs more than she can afford, so she has set up a GoFundMe page for him. He is praying that they can build up enough money because he's not ready to stop dancing yet. Please help him if you can.

A New Home For Starlight.

Starlight here, I got adopted Saturday and so far I am doing fine at my new forever home. I have been exploring the rooms I have access to and I have been told I will have full run of the house once my new cat sibling and I get used to each other. I miss Munchkin, Ashlyn, Cosette and their humans Bob and Monika some times, but my new humans are very nice. I also miss my son Obsidian on occasion, but other times I am glad he is gone because he could be a pest some times.

She's Home!!!!!!

Cosette here, I was so happy when Monika got home that I couldn't be mad at her. She gave me bunches and bunches of hugs and cuddles and told me she missed me terribly!

Monika Comes Home Tonight!

Cosette here, It seems like Monika has been gone for two forevers, but Bob says she is going to come home tonight. I can't wait, though I will probably give her the cold shoulder for leaving me with him for so long.

Busy Bob

Queen Munchkin here, Bob is now working both days and nights at the Sentinel to get more hours, and to make matters worse he works both shifts on Saturdays and Mondays. Good thing is that he has gone from getting 18 hours a week if he was lucky to getting 32 to 37 per week.

She Left Me With Him!!!

Princess Cosette here, Monika left for a vacation with her Mom and left me here with that Man person. I'm not as afraid of him as I used to be, I even let him pet me now, but I am going to miss being able to lay in Monika's lap and getting hugs from her. She keeps telling me that if I would let him, Bob would give me hugs and let me sit in his lap, but that aint going to happen!

Death Wish

Obsidian here, Bob says I have a Death Wish. Last night I went up on top of the refrigerator and I found a treat bag that said Cascade Platinum on it. So I knocked it on the floor and then proceeded to try to open it and help myself. He heard the noise and got up at night and took them away from me. From Bob; We used to keep them in the cabinet under the sink, but Monika got tired of having to undo the strap holding the doors shut so she moved it. Rest assured it is back down where both it and the cats are all safe.

Monika's Mean

Obsidian here, First Monika was cuddling me and she told me I smelled like wet dog! Then she brought me into the kitchen and gave me a bath! Of all the indignities! *pout*

Mournful Princess

Princess Ashlyn here, Monika was up and Bob was still sleeping, so I started crying to let him know I was wasting away without my treats. This time Monika filmed it for you. I am watching the door waiting for Bob to wake up.
