My Anniversary

Parents are so silly! My Mommy has a baby picture of me posted on her blog today! Yeesh!

I guess it’s a pretty big day. It’s my Anniversary! It’s 5 weeks after my birthday, the day I came home! Mommy and Daddy were asleep at the exact time, though. They kept telling me that at 1:30 in the morning it was three years. I remember that it was a Saturday though and no one had to work in the morning. Okay. I didn’t remember that. I looked at that link in Mommy’s blog.

I’m glad I lived in Michigan first. Daddy’s basement was flooded! Where would my litter box go? It’s not flooded now. I guess they had to wait until the kitty-bathroom was dry before I could live in Ohio.

Sometimes I forget about the truck-stop. It’s not that I don’t want to remember where I come from! It’s just that I don’t want to remember not having Mommy and Daddy. I don’t want to remember not having Steenkey treats either! I don’t want to remember being cold and I DON’T want to remember fleas!

So, I’ll just think about the last three years. I haven’t been hungry. I haven't been cold. I haven’t been lonely. I’ve been happy and loved! Life as a house cat is still VERY good!

My Brother the Baseball Player?

See? He won't even face the camera!

Hi there loyal readers!

Can you believe my cousins turned 14 yesterday?? Boy are they OLD! They are teenagers again like I was last year. Now I’m a full mature adult. It’ll be neat next year. We'll all be adults and can do adult stuff when they visit. Happy birthday Emm and Tee!!

But now for some more serious stuff! Baggle has decided to play baseball. They have open camps for the Mud Hens in the spring and he wants to try out. Oh he didn’t say so, but I know. Personally, I think it’s because he heard about Muddy. Muddy is a GIANT bird! I think Baggle just want to hunt him down and eat him. Baggle eats everything. But he going about this being a baseball player the wrong way.

Baggle was having some trouble and he had a spot on his back that was losing hair. He went to the vet. They left me home alone, but I’m a full adult cat now, I wasn’t scared or anything. But when Baggle came home he smelled funny. He said he got a jection in him. Now I read on the internet. I know what jections in you are for! And that’s what he smelled like too. Bad juice! Daddy says juicers are bad, they are cheaters. The bad juice makes you hit things hard, like that home run guy or the one in New York. They are bad cheaters! And now Baggle is going to cheat too. And for what? So he can hit Muddy hard enough to eat him and probably get too full and get sick.

I don’t want my brother to get sick, or play baseball or have bad juice jected in him! It all makes stealing my treats seem so silly a thing to get upset about! We need to tell the doctor not to shoot Baggle with steroids anymore. Say No to juice! I gotta go help my brother change his mind!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Resting up for my birthday with my brother
(I was to excited to fall asleep right away!)

Today is August 12, MY BIRTHDAY! I am three years old today! YAY ME!

"Yay me," is because I am three. That’s pretty much a record in the truck stop. I’d be a veteran feral cat! I guess it’s good thing that I quit being feral. I didn’t want to be a doctor anyway!

Mommy says birthdays are a good day to think about how lucky you are and be thankful for all of the love you have. I am pretty lucky. I have a Mommy and Daddy who love me and a brother who loves my treats.

Okay, Baggle is good for playing with and cuddling with, but what he really does well is steal my treats! Tonight I’ll get the big treat bowl with my birthday cake in it. That’s a tradition. The big bowl with the cat shape was Aunt Azzie’s bowl. She left it to us when she went to the Rainbow Bridge, but Mommy and Daddy say we should use it for special times, like birthdays. When it’s your birthday, you get the special bowl. I wonder what flavor of cake I’ll get? I hope it’s salmon or lobster.

So I’m thankful for Lobster Bisque and Steenkey treats. Steenkey treats are my favorite treats! They are a very good brand of treat, very delicious and they smell like pure Heaven! When Mommy or Daddy smell them, they lean their heads back and look at the sky, like they are saying “thank you.” They’re THAT good! Maybe we’ll get extra Steenkey treats tonight since it’s my birthday. I’ll have to talk to Baggle, we can at least try to get more!

So now I am three. I’ve had almost three years with Mommy and Daddy, yummy food and lots of it, treats, cool toys and NO FLEAS! Tonight, I get birthday cake and I hope extra Steenkey Treats! Life at three is good!

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!
