Lolo Lundi/Lolo Monday - An Introoder!

INTROOOOODER ALERT!! INTROOOOODER ALERT!!!

I have just come across signs of introooosion in my..MY..garden and I am not happy about it at all. NOPE, NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

And don't tell me to relax!! This is a serious matter...do you smell this?

WHO does that introoder think he is to come here and do his mark(et)ing? (Mom calls it 'marketing' when I go around the garden and 'mark'...hahaha!) Only I, ME, LAUTREC can mark here.

That does it..I've decided that I am now going to stand watch over house and garden and if I see that introoder come, well, I will...uh....I will....uh...I will call Tiny and SHE will show him what a mistake he's making!! Yeah!! SHE will smack his sorry furry behind right out of the ballpark!! Hahahaha!!

Weebebad!!!Weezdabadcats!!

A Bit of Tiny

OK, I'm not the jealous type..well, not TOO jealous..., but I think Lautrec has been getting a lot of air time lately so before it goes to his head any more, I'm going to give him a break and give you a bit of Tiny! Before I do, did you see what our friend Attie at AttieCattie posted about Lautrec the other day??? Man, after he saw that he could hardly get through the double doors his head was so big!! Luckily Mom told him to chill out and put his feet back on the ground because no one is allowed to 'take airs' in our house...we are all equal and normal no matter what!! Whew!! For a few minutes there he was almost unbearable but now he is fine and having a nice nap (ha! did you know that the boy with the 'come hither' eyes talks in his sleep? Yes, he does - hahaha!).

OK, now it's just you and me...so here's more of me...just for YOU!!

Here I am sitting on a bench near the house...I like to sit here and survey the garden.

Mom and Dad were eating outside so I sat in my chair (there are four chairs at the table - one for each of us: Mom, Dad, Me and Lautrec) and kept them company, but it was warm and sunny out and the birds were singing so nicely that I kinda started daydreaming.

A pair of birds made their nest just under our roof and in this picture I am smiling because I see one of them bringing food home to their babies. They work so hard! They are flying back and forth all day....busy birds!!

And here, well, here I am giving my goofy in-your-face look!! So, do I look goofy or do I just look like a goof? Oh paleeze, don't tell me you don't know what the difference is!!

You're smiling now aren't you? Yes, I know you are!!

PROOF!!!

I've got PROOF!! Noooo! Not of life on Mars, you goof!!

Just look at this picture...this fuzzy shot is proof that Tiny, all by herself, came and SAT BY ME!! You can tell because she is almost sitting on me, and for once, it wasn't me that came and tried to take her spot or sit by her (or on her!) and this time Mom didn't put one of us next to the other and asked us nicely to 'stay' (and be nice! haha!). I swear to you on a tin of tuna that this time it was Tiny - and only Tiny - who chose to get on the chair with me!!

Ok, so maybe I should mention that Mom was vaccuuming AND there was a really, really loud thunderstorm outside when Tiny got up on my chair. The 'Mighty Tiny' came to be with ME when she was scared!! Does that make me her hero? Cool!! Bring on the thunder and the vaccuums....I'll be your hero, baby!!

King Lautrec

Dang, if I had just moved my head a fraction to my left when Mom took this picture, I would look like I'm wearing a green crown!!! haha! Me: King Lautrec, Ruler of the Jungle!!! ROAR!!

Separated by a Few Threads

Can you believe that we are actually laying next to each other AGAIN? I tell you though, if Mom's sweater was not in between us there is NO WAY Tiny would stay. Is this normal? Are WE normal?

You see the worry in my eyes? I'm thinking that Tiny could haul off and smack me any second. Look at her face..doesn't she just LOOK like she's thinking about smacking me? Believe me, she is..I KNOW her!!

Buddies

Hi there! Mom's been too busy to help me blog. I'll give her a proper meowing-out soon, but until she has more time, I'll just show you a quickie of me hanging out with my good buddy Rusty (yes, you've seen him here before). Rusty is a great guy to hang out with...he never hits me and he is a great listener (he NEVER interupts me) and he never steals food from me!

Rusty and I were enjoying Mom's peony bush that finally bloomed for the first time EVER! I can't believe she has had it for at least 5 years and only this year it has flowers! Here is a picture of one of the flowers. Pretty, huh? We think so!

Our Sunny Sunday

Nothin' like loungin' in the sun. Mom had to mow the lawn so she moved the green bench (yes, OUR green bench) and it seemed like it was something entirely new she put it - that and the old round outside table - sowe just HAD to get up and check things out. Then, well, we just had to 'hang out' for a while and have a little nap.

Can you believe how close we are? I was on the bench and Tiny came and layed next to me. As you can see, she was nearly hanging off the end just so that she didn't have to get any closer to me than absolutely necessary!! Silly Tiny! But we are still really close and there was no face smackin' or feather boxin' the whole time we sat there (which was about 15 minutes)!

Mom thought it would be funny to take our pictures from under the bench.

Can you tell we are making faces?

Yep, we are.

Bed Times

LAUTREC: I think Winter has come back. It is definitely NOT SPRING outside.

I'm just going to stay here in this cozy bed all day.

TINY: Oh, come on Lautrec...you have to get out of bed...if you don't, Mom won't feed us.

You know she waits for us both to come to the kitchen before she gives us breakfast.

Get up. GET UP!!

LAUTREC: Dang Tiny, would you QUIT bumping the bed?

I'm TRYIN' to sleep! GO AWAY!!

TINY: Well, GET OUT OF BED!!

LAUTREC: I wanna HIBERNATE.

Leave me alone brown furrball.

TINY: Get up you lazy bum...you wimpy thing...it isn't even that cold.

I'm hungry. Get uuuuhp!

TINY: Mom, can I shoot him with my lasers?

Please oh please?

Or would you at least pull him out of bed so that we can have some breakfast?

I'm HUNGRY!!

Thieving

TINY: The sun is shining and even though the wind is blowing, this nice spot here is warm and lovely. I guess the sun warms it up. Mmmm. Yeah, this is good. I'm smiling. Can you tell?

LAUTREC: For once in my life, I am the one to discover a great spot then Tiny has to go and thieve it!! Ha! Look at her here on MY sun-warmed cast-iron outside 'bed'. Yep! I discovered this place...I mean I was the one who realised that when the sun shines on it, the 'bed' gets all toasty warm. I love to sit there. That is MY spot! Now SHE is hoggin' the whole thing!! Move, woman!!

TINY: Oh, I feel very sleepy...I'm going to take me a nice little nap.

LAUTREC: Just look at her! Who does she think she is looking all comfy on my - MY - spot? MOVE, I said! GO! GO-UH already!!

TINY: Hmm? Did someone say something?

TINY: Oh, yeah. This is a GREAT place. I think I'll just stretch out and get really comfy here. I like this spot. I am so clever for finding it. Yep, I definitely think this will be one of my new favourite sun-tanning/ body warming spots. Mmmmm.

TINY: Hmm... I think I'll just take me a nice little bath here on MY NEW SPOT.

LAUTREC: No way! In cat language you taking a bath here means you're claiming stake to this place. No-can-do Baby! NO-CAN-DO!! You hear me?

LAUTREC: Oooo-oooo! Brown furball!! This is MY spot!!

TINY: Hey pal, watch it!! Push me once more and I'll send my 5 friends (the 5 claws on my paw) after your node.

TINY: Fine. Fine. FINE!! I'll move over. GEEZ! I don't know what is worse: having you do that feather boxing with me or listening to you whine!! Just HAVE your special, wonderful spot...I can go find about a billion others that you'll be theiving from me in no time!! Ya whiner!!

Bird Babies!!

OK, well, we can't see them, but we can hear them! We have watched BirdMom and BirdDad flying to that box with food in their mouths and each time one of them goes inside the hole, it sounds like a little party is going on in there! So much cheep-cheeping!! Don't worry though, we ONLY WATCH the birds...that is all - we swear (our Mom has a VERY STRICT rule that we may only look at but NEVER TOUCH BIRDS)! We like BirdTV!

Tough Guy Monday

I've shown you before how furr-oh-shus I am...now here is another example of how I'm a really tough guy...just watch...you can only agree!

But when I'm not being tough with Tiny, we are doing this (because it is still darn cold out...Brrr and grrr!)...which is oh, like 50% of the time. The rest of the time we are in our own separate beds. We are only sleeping so close because Mom's sweater is separating us, otherwise I would have to put on my tough guy hat or more probably Tiny would put on her 'don't-mess-with-me' face and I tell you, that is one scarey face!!! Yikes!

A Comparative View

We are here in our country house and other than being all cuddled up in our sweater beds in the warm kitchen, we haven't been doing much (well, yesterday I did go around the garden making some 'marks' just to show any and all introoders that the garden is MINE - ok, yeah, it's Tiny's, too). But other than that, because of the cold and rainy weather, we've just been staying in the house sponging up heat. (Mom keeps asking us to help out, but we don't know what that means!)

ANYWAY..... we don't want to bore you so we thought maybe we would share something with you that our Mom has been working on for many months. You see, not far from our house (in the country) is a big pond and whenever Mom goes for a walk, she takes a picture of it from the same place. She has been doing this since last Fall - here are three of the pictures. What do you think? We think it's kinda fun, but our favourite, as you can imagine, is the one that will have to come later...Summer. For now, she has 3 of the 4 seasons...Fall, Winter and Spring (she just took the Spring picture yesterday!).

Our Friend Danny

It's cold out and all we want to do is sleep in a nice warm spot, but that isn't interesting so we thought we would share with you some pictures of our friend Danny.

Remember Danny? It was his NOSE that you saw peeking through a hole under the door that Astrud (the tuxedocat) was peeking into in pictures I posted a couple of weeks ago. Well, you need to know that Danny LOVES to retrieve stuff. He has his favourite ball that he will do anything for you to throw it for him so he can run after it and bring it back (or not). And when you go for walks with Danny, he will be sure to find a stick for you to throw and he is VERY insistent that you throw it and that you wrestle it from him.

One day, while Mom and Dad were visiting Danny (and DP and Astrud and Luna), Danny was up to his insistent self so Danny's Dad put Danny's favourite ball (see that icky, dirty once-was tennis ball above) in a watering can and Danny had the BEST time trying to get that ball out of the watering can!! He did a lot of talking and digging, but in the end he succeeded!! Bravo Danny!!

Warm Friday

It's windy outside, the sun is hiding and we are back in the city so I think I'll just hang out here...under this warm, wool blanket! There's lots of extra space...anyone can come join me!! (Well, except Tiny because she'll just smack me or something!)
