Maxx says: This is my favorite rug. Everybody knows that. Don’t let those orange cats convince you of anything different, especially that Newton. Oh, she’s a wily one, she is. Loving up this rug, the one my people bought for me and me alone. See how good I look lounging on it? Go ahead. Try to tell me any of those other cats look better than I on this here rug. Why, it’s even got my favorite toy on it. It can’t get any better than that!

Flashback Friday – Baby Tessa’s Gold.

I LOVE THIS STRAW!

Until Pia’s arrival, Tessa had the most toys any cat in this household had ever had. Naturally, she ignored them all. All that is except for the straws. And if straws were gold, well first of all, we couldn’t afford any, and secondly, if we could have, we’d be millionaires because we swear we just dug out a million of them from under our bed and dresser where apparently, all bitten straws go to retire.

At least we rememebered to get one shot of a young Tessa excitedly playing with her piece of gold. OMC! The love she had for this thing had her eyes bugging out of her head!

Nowadays, while her straw habit doesn’t call as strong, her attachment to toys continue. And like any well-rounded young lady with so much to choose from, she flits from one toy to another.

Her favorite this week. No, we won’t confess how just before this photo was taken, Tessa was seen wooing and petting the pale suede mouse for about an hour. Oops!

Oh sure, Mom. Post an embarrassing picture of me just before leaving town for the weekend. Hope you remember to look in the side pocket of your suitcase for a surprise from me!

The Busy Bee.

Maxx’s ever-lovin’ Busy Bee here. Happy Halloween Day!

Everyone knows I’m the best looking bee around. Sure, I’ve been dragged and tossed and chewed and dunked in the water bowl by my Mancat Maxx more times than I can count. But let’s not forget all the hugging and snuggling I get too. Makes all the ratty fur and washing machine baths worth it, in my book.

Well, it’s that time of year again and soon, the doorbell will be ding-donging off the wall! So many fun costumes! Here at home, it’s time to see which Colehaus Cat might rival me for the position of Best-Looking Busy Bee!

The bee suit is laid out, ready for business. I hear we’ve got some new contenders this year who’ll be trying on the official Busy Bee Suit. Let’s get to it and size up their efforts!

First up, this little guy. Sorry, I didn’t catch the name. Cute, long legs, giant ears. When he fills out, he might pose a challenge. I don’t think I have anything to worry about for a few years. Look at him! He’s practically swimming in that suit! Good luck next year! NEXT!

Could anyone look more dejected than our next entry? Really, sweetheart, chin up. It’s not that bad, toots. Sure, she’s not a bee; she’s a cat in a bee costume (like technically, I’m a bear in a bee costume – WHATEVER!) Okay, someone get her out of here…NEXT!

Oh, no, no, no. Him again?? Did he learn nothing from last year’s loss? Drats! Nice fit, ears almost in position, too bad that stinger is hidden. Well, all I can say is it’s a durned good thing he’s my favorite buddy and that he refused to sit still long enough for a winning vote. That bit of slimming down since last spring really suits him well. Couldn’t have happened to a better cat. Whew! A close call. So close. But it looks like I’m Top Bee for the third year in a row! Whooooo!

Until next time, America, keep your bees happy! Happy Candy Corn day! Busy Bee out!
