my life as a cat...

Who me, snoring? Never!

casperkitty — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 22:14:38 GMT

So I was minding my own cat business yesterday, napping on the couch (my favorite way to spend the afternoon)....I was dreaming of something pleasurable, perhaps chasing mice. Then, from far-off, I heard giggling, as if from a human female. I half-woke and opened one eye. Who should I see smiling at me and softly laughing: my mama, Kim. She petted me on the head and told me I was snoring! Can you believe it? I thought to myself, "She's crazy. I don't snore! I'm a very refined cat. I wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, only humans snore." Then I drifted off to sleep again, only to be awoken moments later by a sort of rumbling, gurgling sound--it was I! Indeed, I was snoring!! I could hardly believe my own ears. But it's true: I snore, I do. Kim giggled at me again and said she wants to capture me snoring on video. Apparently, she thinks this would be the funniest thing in the world. I would become a You Tube star, she claims. Hmmm....Well, stardom is enticing..... Now back to dreamland for this cat. Must catch up on all the sleep I'm missing by typing up this blog for you all. Zzzzzzzzzzzz................

Mmmmmm...tuna is yummy!

casperkitty — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 20:35:20 GMT

I got to have a special treat today: albacore tuna fish! I ran into the kitchen as soon as I smelled the tuna. I stared up at Kim so she would know I wanted some. She gave me a chunk of it in my dish. It was so good! I think she should give me tuna more often. I'm such a good kitty, I deserve it. YUMMY!!!! puuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Aaaah, the good life!

Summer is a beautiful time of year. I love to sit on the back balcony in the sunshine, with a light breeze on my fur, watching the birds and just chillin' out...... Life is good these days for a cat!

Cat She sights a Bird - she chuckles - She flattens - then she crawls - She runs without the look of feet - Her eyes increase to Balls - Her Jaws stir - twitching - hungry - Her Teeth can hardly stand - She leaps, but Robin leaped the first - Ah, Pussy, of the Sand, The Hopes so juicy ripening - You almost bathed your Tongue - When Bliss disclosed a hundred Toes - And fled with every one - Emily Dickinson Image: Black-capped Chickadee on branch

Pussy

casperkitty — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 23:56:11 GMT

Pussy I like little pussy, her coat is so warm; And if I don't hurt her, she'll do me no harm. So I'll not pull her tail, nor drive her away, But pussy and I very gently will play. She shall sit by my side, and I'll give her some food; And she'' love me because I am gentle and good. I' pat pretty pussy, and then she will purr; And thus show her thanks for my kindness to her. But I'll not pinch her ears, nor tread on her paw, Lest I should provoke her to use her sharp claw. I never will vex her, nor make her displeased -- For pussy don't like to be worried and teased. Author Unknown I couldn't resist this one's title. And don't I like sexy in this pic? You know you want me, Miss Dixie!

The cat went here and there - Yeats

casperkitty — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 23:07:59 GMT

The cat went here and there And the moon spun round like a top, And the nearest kin of the moon, The creeping cat, looked up. Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon, For, wander and wail as he would, The pure cold light in the sky Troubled his animal blood. Minnaloushe runs in the grass Lifting his delicate feet. Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance? William Butler Yeats

why oh why?

casperkitty — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 17:32:16 GMT

Does my human have to leave me alone all day? Kim has this thing now called a full-time job, so she is away from me for several hours a day. I've been so bored and lonely this week! I sleep a lot during the afternoon, but I was so used to having her here with me. I hope she realizes that she owes me -- big time!!! I did overhear her talking to that guy who lives here about getting a grey kitten for me to hang out with. She said something about "after we move" -- what does move mean? Like not live here, in our home, the home I was born and raised? I cannot even think about that! But a new kitty friend might be nice. We could snuggle in the sunshine spot together and I could teach him how to play fetch with fake mice. We would rule! So...anyway. I'm bored and lonely. Does anyone want to pet me?

Casper, America's Next Top Cat

casperkitty — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 18:29:27 GMT

On Wednesday night, I hung out in the bed with Kim and watched the premiere of one of her favorite shows, America's Next Top Model. I really just wanted to have an excuse to sit next to her for a couple hours. But then I got sucked into the "catty" drama! Those girls are very pretty (for humans), but they are so emotional. Somebody needs to slap a bitch! I'm not one to judge -- I mean, I just bit Kim the other day. I have my moments of aggression, but those chicks need to calm down if they're going to live together. I like the drama, though. And I dig the behind-the-scenes look at the fashion world. Maybe I should be a model, if I could just lose those extra few ounces of fat around my mid-section. White is in now, you know. Hmmm....I can see a career for myself in the fashion world. Casper, America's Next Top Cat. What do you think? Should I go for it? I can see my beautiful self sauntering down the red carpet lookin' fine, my big fluffy tail swishing.....

Do a little dance

casperkitty — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 18:22:31 GMT

Every night when Kim gets ready for bed, I like to start my own bedtime routine. While she is in the bathroom washing her face and brushing her teeth, I like to sit outside the door waiting for her. If I think she's taking too long in there, I will paw at the bottom of the door, making noises with the door hitting the frame. This is my way of saying "Hey! Are you coming out of there any time soon?" When she comes out, I start meowing and leading her into the kitchen. She calls this the "little dance" that we do each night. She follows me into the kitchen towards my food and water dishes. I like to make sure my dishes have something in them, in case I need a snack in the middle of the night while the humans are asleep. Kim makes sure they're ok, then she says "You're fine. Let's go to bed." I purr and nibble a little food to let her know I'm happy. Then I lead her into the bedroom. She lays down and snuggles under the covers. I take my place on the floor at the foot of her side of the bed, and we both settle in for a nice sleep. **puuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr**

Ode To Cats by Pablo Neruda

casperkitty — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 06:30:35 GMT

Ode To Cats There was something wrong with the animals: their tails were too long and they had unfortunate heads. Then they started coming together, little by little fitting together to make a landscape, developing birthmarks, grace, pep. But the cat, only the cat turned out finished, and proud: born in a state of total completion, it sticks to itself and knows exactly what it wants. Pablo Neruda

A good brushing

casperkitty — Tue, 19 Sep 2006 06:04:08 GMT

I just had a good brushing tonight from Kim. I have grown to love it. I get excited when she brings out the brush and comb! I love to have my head and cheeks brushed, but the tummy and tail are a struggle. What really gets to me is when a big chunk of hair needs to be brushed out, and the comb tugs at my fur. I bit my human good tonight for that -- I even drew blood! That will teach her. (See my photos for a pic of her bandage.) After a big pile of fur is removed from my lustrous coat, I feel so much lighter and softer. My human pets me afterwards because she likes how soft and fluffy I am then. It calms me down, too. The above photo is of the giant furball that was on the floor afterwards. My human's foot shows how big it was!

Feeling feisty this morning!

casperkitty — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 19:40:28 GMT

Well, I don't mean to sound dramatic, but KIM ABANDONED ME ALL NIGHT!!!! How could she do this to me? I had to sleep all alone in the living room. I thought she would never come back! That guy she lives with who occasionally pets me was gone, too. I got very upset. I couldn't help it. I ran around, jumped on the kitchen table, got into the kitchen cupboard, and tore up a pile of stuff that guy left by the door. For my finale, I threw up on the carpet. That will teach them to leave me!!! Once they got home this afternoon, I thought they would be happy to see me. But, no! I got yelled at for my antics -- when they are the ones who deserve punishment! Hmph. At least my food and water dishes got refilled. Then Kim felt sorry for calling me a "bad cat" and she petted me. So, that was nice. Now I'm going to lounge in the sunshine spot in the studio for a long nap.

my kinda morning

casperkitty — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 16:44:04 GMT

Today I got to do my favorite thing -- wake up Kim by meowing in her face, then getting to snuggle with her in bed. She lets me get right up close, face to face. I put my paws on her shoulder and snuggle in beside her. She pets me while I purr contentedly. Aaaaahhhhh......We like to call this "love time." I always need a little love time in the morning, or else I whine and cry like a baby and drive her crazy! Now I think I'll see hang out and watch the birds or have a bath.

Hello!

casperkitty — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 22:45:50 GMT

I'm new to tribe. My name is Casper, and I'm a Turkish Angora. I'm a big white fluffy guy. I'm very affectionate and sweet. You would love me if you met me -- I promise! My mama is on here, too. Her name is Kim. You might know her. She is the most wonderful human I have ever known. I spend my days near her and sleep at the foot of her bed. I like to try to get her to pet me and lay on her lap as often as she will let me. She is very good to me. I'm here to meet new friends and share my interests. It is so nice to be here! ppuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr
