Science Cat and Stuff

The Science Cat
My experiment shows cats get pretty liquid
on this surface when it's heated up!

Hi everybody!

I know I haven’t blogged in a long time, well in about a month, which really is as much as I blogged when I was a kitten, so it’s not so bad, but I know a regular blog like grownups have is easier to do. hehe... I did not call grownups dumb! My Daddy is a busy guy with his TV show and that other job he says he has. I have no idea what he’s talking about. I thought TV WAS his other job! His full time job is ME! Well, okay, Baggle too, but cat-staff anyway. But I have seen Daddy type, so he could write if he wanted to. Mommy has a blog, so everyone knows she can write. I think it’s easier for me because I don’t have to worry about taking care of the cat, because I AM the cat!

So, summer has been pretty cool. Our favorite show is back on Cat-TV. Don’t tell my Daddy that Lawnmower Man isn’t my favorite. I love his show, really I do! I even like it when he comes on the other screen and does the knocking gag to promote Lawnmower Man. I just never get tired of the knock-gag he does. He comes right up to the screen and knocks on it like he could walk through it if he wanted to. It’s just funny! Sometimes he talks, sometimes not, but he always acts like there is a cat right there and I can’t help but cuddle the screen because, well because I see my Daddy on TV!

Well, about our favorite show, Baggle and I could watch Chipmunk all day! The actor who plays Chipmunk, the title character, is so good! We sit on the Cedar Chest right by the screen and they do close-ups. You can’t help but get into the show! It’s like he’s RIGHT THERE, like he’s sitting right next to you. It’s just so cool!

So that you don't think we do what Mommy worries about, rotting our kitty-brains in front of the TV all day, we don’t do that! I’m studying science! I’ve been doing experiments on Feline Viscosity on Solar Powered Synthetic Fibers! I’ve been reading blogs too! In one of Mommy’s blog pages about blogging, she put a link to a word blog. At dictionary dot com, I got to find out exactly what my science project was called! The Dictionary is a cool blog!

I also stopped back at my old Yahoo blog, which is where I visit my friends from the old neighborhood. My pal, Nylablue, another fine feline blogger, is on Multiply now! I sent an email to get the address to add to Mommy’s reader. I know she has her friend Dutch, who is at Multiply, on her reader. I’ll put Nyla’s address on my blog when I get it so everyone can read more cat-blogs!

Okay, Mommy says her break is over and she needs to use my computer. Parents, yeesh!

It's Fun!

I love to play! Games are fun! I play stalking games with Baggle and I like to play stair chase with the furniture. I tag something in the basement, run upstairs, through the kitchen, over the dining room table, across the cedar chest in the living room, up the stairs and through the hall into Mommy and Daddy’s office, tag my housie and do the whole thing in reverse a few times. It’s good exercise!

But I like to play quiet sometimes too. I play flinch with Mommy and Daddy on the bed and I jump at hands before they get me. I also like to play blog games!

Okay, I’ve never played a blog game. But now I am. Mommy tagged me!

In this game I get to tell you seven random things about me. I didn’t think I could do it, because I don't think I have any random things. At least, my doctor never found any, not even the new Ohio doctor. Mommy told me random is saying just anything about me. It’s not something you see. Whew! I didn’t want to think I had randoms I didn’t know about!

So, I do get to play! I just tell you 7 anythings about me!

1. I don’t like dogs. I’ve only met one dog that I was introduced to, but I don’t like him. I hissed at him and he growled back. It’s a mutual thing.

2. It bugs me that my brother doesn’t respect cat ways! When I scratch by my treat dish to say I’m done but I’ll be back to finish the rest, he eats it anyway! Aunt Azzie taught me manners when I was a kitten! Fortunately Mommy respects cat ways and puts my treat away for later for me before Baggle gets it.

3. I still like to play with milk rings.

4. I like to be brushed.

5. Baggle and I are both adopted.

6. I like to crunch my treats and my kibble one piece at a time.

7. Even though I call my blog Behind Orange Eyes, Mommy says my eyes are yellow. It’s my fur that’s orange.


Now I want everyone that reads to play too! If you’re a cat and you don’t have a blog of your own, well, why not? If you don't want to start a blog, I understand. My Daddy doesn’t really ever blog either and he types way better than Mommy! So, if you don’t have a blog, leave your 7 things in the comments, or borrow one of your human staff member’s blogs! It’s fun!

Sweet Leaf

Daddy called it “cat nip.” I call it "sweet leaf!"

We got a treat Friday, but it was a trick and it’s not even the scary holiday!

Mommy told Daddy she had a...a...what is that word she said, a puhductive week. She said she got a lot done, so I guess puhductive is tired. Why do humans use so many words that mean the same thing? If she was tired she could just say “I’m tired, I’ll stop working early.” Anyway, since Daddy was home Friday, because he went out Sunday he stayed home Friday, he asked Mommy if she waned to go chase trains after lunch. I think that’s like chasing mice for people. I think it’s a good idea for them to do that. It’s good exercise and it lets them find sweet leaf!

Daddy calls sweet leaf ”wild cat nip,” but it doesn’t nip at cats so it’s silly to call it cat nip! Sweet leaf grows near trains and Mommy and Daddy brought some home Friday night. Dumb old Baggle eats sweet leaf when he gets it. There is nothing to be gained from EATING sweet leaf! When Mommy brought it in, she laid it on the counter in the kitchen. Oh that smell! I couldn’t help myself! I jumped up on the counter to inspect!

Oh, just plunging my face into it and inhaling the wonderful smell! It makes me feel all cuddly and squirmy. I purr and rub the sweet leaf all over me. Ahhhhh! It makes me feel SO happy!

Now of course, I wouldn’t want to play with sweet leaf while I’m doing my cat-manager duties. It makes me not even care about mice or bugs! My house would be taken over in a week if we had sweet leaf all the time, but as soon as my responsibilities are done, GIVE ME MY LEAF!

There is a word of warning to all cats - don’t, I repeat, DON’T let your people be exposed to sweet leaf for too long. It makes them crazy! Not long after Mommy and Daddy came home with the sweet leaf, they collected a flashlight, our treats and Daddy’s laptop and went down into the basement! How weird is that? Daddy brought Baggle and me down too and Mommy gave us treats and sweet leaf while they watched the weather on the basement TV. Loopy parents or what? If they wanted to see the weather, they could just go outside. I wouldn’t do that, it was raining and windy, cats don’t like water, but they could look out the window upstairs and see the weather. The siren was even drowning out the sound of the thunder, so there weren’t even any boom noises.

When Baggle and I got tired of being in the basement, we went back upstairs and Mommy and Daddy yelled! Like the basement is a good place for family time! PLEASE! Then they came up caught us and put us in our carriers to go back downstairs! Talk about pushy parents. Sometimes I don't understand them! You know we could report them to the Society for the Protection of Children from Authority!

We protested being in the carriers in the basement. The TV said the lights were out. That’s why cat TV is better than people TV. The lights go out on Cat TV every night and it’s not something amazing to the humans and animals on TV. Humans on people TV act like its news when the lights go out! They said they had generators to keep the computers going. They need a laptop like Daddy! After a little while longer, Daddy said the radar looked like it was okay now. Again, look out the window for the weather! Then they opened the carriers and let us go upstairs.

The moral of the story for cats is not to let your people smell sweet leaf! What makes cats feel really good, make a human brain do weird things! But by all means, keep some sweet leaf for yourself!

My New Logo and Lawnmower Man on Cat-TV!

This is my first official Blogger-blog! Isn’t my new logo COOL? Those really are my eyes. Mommy does such neat things with that PhotoShop button on our computer. I call it “our” computer because she does such neat things with it, I feel like it’s nice to share it with her.

I hope my friends from Yahoo are visiting me here. I’d hate for them to not visit me anymore! Mommy says there is a way to 'scribe to my blog. She says people can sign up with a reader and always know when I write a new blog. I want everyone to do that! You should ‘specially do that if you work for cats in their house so hey can read! I sometimes have some really good ideas and stuff to show other cats. Besides, I think other cats can understand some of my troubles. Labor disputes - Mommy says she wants to work. I say she does work, who’s gonna give us treats during the day if she goes out somewhere all day?

Monday is the day that Daddy works the day shift. He usually goes out somewhere during the day and comes back to work at night, I think maybe he plays poker. He even plays poker on the computer during his breaks when he’s here at night! But on Mondays he works during the day with Mommy. Today was really cool, because of TV!

The "Lawnmower Man" series is back on Cat-TV!

Baggle and I were sitting in front of the cat-TV. I was at the door screen and he was watching the window screen on the Cedar chest. We have surround-TV, so we can see a different part of the show from anywhere in the house! Today we got to see one of our favorite shows! I only really like the bird-show better! Today was Lawnmower Man! Lawnmower Man is such a cool show because it stars MY DADDY!

It’s so cool to have a parent on TV! He pushes a noisy lawnmower across the grass and it chops it up! Sometimes, he looks right into the camera and smiles. It’s like he’s looking right at me! He’s just such a good TV star! Yeah, Mondays are the coolest when our whole staff is working and we get to be proud of our TV star Dad!

Make sure you leave me comments so I know you came to visit! Mommy says I’ll get a counter some time this week, but until I get one, I don’t know if you’re reading, so please say “hi!”

I like Blogger. I like my new logo!

So, It's Gonna Be Google

Kitty of the sunny spot to kitty of the blog spot!

Hi everyone!

Remember I said I'd let everyone know where I was going to end up when Yahoo went... Well, when it went away. Mommy said that it wasn't nice to say "teats up." I don't know why. It just describes what you look like when you lay on your back, like in the sunny spot, but she says I shouldn't type "teats up." So I won't type "teats up" anymore, although "teats up" is what is happening. Yahoo is lazy and they aren't fixing anything - "teats up." But I didn't say "teats up." That was a quote.

Anyway, I'm going to blog at blogspot now, same as Mommy. Mommy put all my Yahoo blog on my new blogspot page already. But I haven't moved there yet. I need a logo, so Mommy's making me a logo! Cool or what? Kaline Cat Business Solutions, or Kaline Inc. Like a big company with a logo! Or maybe I’ll be the Kaline Cats track and climbing team! Yeah, a team logo!! But I’m not gonna wear a jersey! Mommy can put my logo on a blanket!

Mommy says I'll need a logo to join the Simply Davine Group, a web network. I know what a network is! I must be going on TV!! Simply Davine is Mommy’s web page that she hasn't done anything with in a while. What does that have to do with TV? It’s part of that web outline she was making. Whatever. I just wish she’d make a mistake on it so I can get a paper ball!

Anyway, when I get my logo, I’ll be on blogspot, alexiskaline.blogspot! I like that! I like to blog and well, spot makes me think of the sunny spot. I LOVE the sunny spot!!

I’ll let you know when I’m officially a blogspot cat. I can’t wait...I’m gonna get a LOGO!!!
