Beezer Song

Thank You For All The Love

2009-10-19T08:07:00.000-07:00

Beezer's mombean here,

I know that I haven’t been keeping up with Beezer’s blog as much as I should for the past few months. It’s just that I started a new job with a start up company in April, and while it’s a great company with a great future and opportunity for me, it’s been a lot of work. After staring at computer screen for 8-9-10 hours I’m a little pooped when I get home. So, I’m sorry that we haven’t been as active as posters as we heave been in the past.

I’d like to close out Beezer’s blog with this post. Oh, we’ll still be around and visit as much as we can, but I want to spend as much time with my special guy as I can. His illness came on a lot faster that I ever would have imagined. It was just a couple of weeks ago that I noticed he was sleeping more than usual, and he started eating less than usual and was losing a little weight. I thought mostly it was just the change of seasons, but worth a trip to the vet, just a little bug that maybe some antibiotics would clear up. He was still coming to me for hugs and lap sits, not to mention treat time! So, I didn’t think anything was really wrong.

I can’t tell you how hard this has hit me. His 10 year gottcha day is just a few weeks from now, and he’s never been sick a day. I thought we had years to come. His vet at the great Pets Unlimited in San Francisco said that cats often hide that they are sick.

Beez is just a magician. His diagnosis, isn’t good at all, Dr. James said he has severe high blood proteins and other abnormalities in his blood work up so that even with chemo he gain just a few weeks maybe a few months if we were especially lucky. I have decided that the quality of his life is much more important than a little extra time, so we won’t do anything that drastic, but give as much support as he needs to be happy. Currently, he’s in no pain, enjoying hugs and kisses with his strong purr in my ear and a good lap-sit in the evening. That is what matters most to us, so as long as he’s happy I’ll be happy and enjoy our time together –however long that may be. He can eat what ever he wants and have all the treats and tuna-tinis he wants. He has an appetite stimulant which I hope will encourage him a little more, and some antibiotics to help support his immune system. He really digs the greenies pill pockets, so that makes it a treat to take his medicine. He had sub-Q fluids at the vet, and that seemed to perk him up, Dr. James said that they can teach me how to give them to him if we decide that that would be good for him.

He has always been a very loving and trusting fellow, and that hasn’t changed at all!

We have truly enjoyed our time with all of you in the cat blog-o-sphere. From the miracle kitties, KC and Dinna-mites, to the purr-rageous pirate Fagin, to Darling Millie with her bionic leg who brought us to Gizzy and Jasmine. --- I will always treasure Beezie's Gizzy quilt knowing how much he enjoyed his naps on it. And Kimo & Sabi with their own special miracle, the blurpie girl. To the Gorgeous Gingers and the Man Cat’s Club to the Secret Paws and I’ll never forget the True Love Bus Tour! Or Skeezex and Mao, Rocky & (life’s a) Trip, to Jeter Harris, Chai Latte, Daisy and Harley, Fat Eric, Eric and Flynn, Miss Peach, Hot(M)BC and Milo & Alfie …. Oh, there are just so many to name, I better stop now or I’ll forget someone – I can’t do that! You have all meant so much to us. There must be many more smiles than tears we’ve shared together over the years. Beezer and I talk about all of you often, and we will as long as we can. My special pal from across town (waves) Halloween brought us some Lourdes water because you never know; and he is a San Francisco kitty after all.

Good friends will always see each other again, so I know that Beezer will wait with the others that have gone on to the bridge before us until we can all be together again.

We wish all of you purrs, headbutts, happy naps in the sun and oodles of treats!

Tattle - Tail Tuesday

2009-06-29T20:02:00.000-07:00

Kitties you just wouldn't believe the night I had!

I know that lots of you are hot - hot - Hot! But, here in the City By The Bay, when the fog rolls in at night it can get chilly. So, the other night it was a little cooler than I really like, so I thought that I'd snuggle under the covers. I wiggled and squiggled and wiggled some more until I was all comfie snuggled up right behind the mombean's knees, where it was warm. I was all purry and sleepy, just about to nod off when It happened.

It was a very loud sound that went ---
PPoooooooooottttttt!
It came for the big butt right next to mine head.

And then, well, bless mine paws and whiskers, there came the smell!
I think she was trying to poison me with toxic gas.
Like any normal kitty I did what came naturally I sneezed. A big wet sneeze! And I gots the H-E-double hockey sticks outta there.

She just giggled and said "Sorry Beezie. It musta been the bean burrito I had for lunch."

I spent the rest of the night on top of the covers. If you ever hear the words bean and burrito I suggest you run for your life.

"Hey! Your tuna poots ain't potpourri, ya know."

Hummpff. I just hope mine smeller isn't broke.

Ya Just Can't Get Good Help

2009-05-31T14:33:00.000-07:00

Wow! Its been a whole month since I've added a post to mine blog!!
Ya know its not my fault. Its all the mombean's fault. She's been gone a lot lately. She goes out the door early and doesn't get home until late. She says, "I've been at work, I've just been doing a lot of overtime."

Yeah, I know, that really isn't much of an excuse. Lame I'd say.
No visiting mine friends, and leaving messages on their blogs. No surfing the web. GRRRRR!
So, I've been giving her the laser eyes of disapproval.

"Hey, I've been spending 10, or more, hours a day, eyeballs glued to a computer monitor, when I get home I'm tired. I just want a little down time with a sweet kitty in my lap."
Yeah, OK ... I do like a nice lap sit.

Do you remember a long time ago, there was a Benefit Bunny Bash? All the cool buns were there, they had all kinds of fun music & dancing (boy, those bunnies can binky!). They really liked my dancing and I won a really cool prize:
Its a special hand knit bunny to call my very own. It was made specially for me by the wonderful mombean of Miss Eve and Neville, two great Buns from Nottingham England. You can read all about their adventures at their bloggy Bunnies, Needles and Books.
Thank you very much!!
This is a great prize from great buns.

I call him Ginger Snap, because he is the color of ginger kitty like me and the ginger snap cookies mine mombean likes to eat.

He's very soft and snugglie with a fun poofy pom-pom tail, so I've been told. Mombean sez that he is something she called an air-loom. Whatever an air-loom is... It means that I don't get to play with him because ya just can't play with a air-loom. You have to keep it nice so that you can keep it for a long, long time. Mombean sez "Ginger Snap is a treasure. I can feel the bunny love that is in every stitch."
(Do you like the picture of him on mine Gizzy Quilt? There are many talanted and generous people in the blogosphere!)

Here I am working hard, this is what I do for overtime.
I'm gonna work on mombean to post more, so I can keep up with all mine friends.
See ya soon!

Life Is Grand

2009-04-26T16:46:00.000-07:00

Hi There!
Just taking a little time outta mine day to pop in and post this fine award that mine pal Halloween gave me:

Thanks H.! You're a very sweet ladycat; and I'm glad that you have your yard back to yourself again.

However ..... it made mine mombean think of a song that she used to love long ago, also called Life Is Grand by the band Camper Van Beethoven.
You can listen to it here:

Yes, long ago, she would drink a lot of beer, hang out in sketchy nightclubs and dance and sing all night long to songs like this. (She was such a wild child in her youth). Worse, she's spent the whole weekend with the stereo cranked up loud dancing and singing in the livingroom to this and other old Camper songs. Frankly, I find it a bit embarrassing. What a sight. She ain't that young anymore!

Ok, go and listen to the song.... I've got stuff to do.

Oh yeah.
I pass this along to:
Daisy and Harley Coz Daisy has the sniffles and I want to help her to feel better.
Roxy and Lucky Coz I know that their mombean would never do anything so embarrassing.
Millie Coz she has a grand life in New Hampster!
And any cat who has ever been embarrassed by their bean.

Heat Wave

2009-04-21T18:22:00.000-07:00

We is having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. Its been like more than 80 degrees - F. It'll cool off tomorrow. I hopes mine fellow NorCal pals have been keepin' it cool.

Here I am hiding from the hot sun by trying to snooze under the futon.

Oh, OK I'll lay here on the floor so you can see mine face.
Yes, I will too blink if you are gonna use that flash!

Helpin' With The Chores

2009-04-18T16:24:00.000-07:00

When Mine mombean got her big bum up and outta bed this morning she said:
"Well, Beezer, it's Saturday, we have to do the laundry. And that includes washing the sheets on the bed!"

I was still kinda sleepy, but when she gets in a mood to clean I know that the best thing to do is just get outta her way!
So, I just went to eat mine morning crunchies and find another place to sleep. After she pulled all-a the stuff off the bed and took it where ever it is she goes with the stuff.....

She came back with sheets that smell funny. 'Fresh and Snuggle clean' she calls it. I like it best when it smells like her. Mmmm mombean and sleepy time.......
I always help her put the sheets on the bed chase all the wrinkles away.

You won't get way from me you nasty wrinkle!

Sometimes it helps to stalk the hard to get ones!

With the comforter back on the bed its all done!
Phewww! That is hard work, but the really hard work is getting mine smell back on my spot of the bed.
*Yawn*
Yeah, I'll just be nappin' here for a while until it smells like me again.

Gentle-Man Cat Monday

2009-04-05T18:05:00.000-07:00

A Gentleman cat says:
"Yes, you go and get yourself a nice cup of coffee. I'll keep your seat warm until you get back."

Handsome and suave, its how I roll.

Back Again

2009-04-02T19:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Gang!!

Sorry I've been away for so long, but me and the mombean have been sad and very busy for the past while. Her dadbean, I guess that would make me the grandkitty, gots very, very sick ands then he was in the hosiptal. Then he had to go to the bridge.

I've been giving her lots of purrs and lap-sits and snuggles. She says "I don't know how you know just when I need a purr and a kitty hug, but you are always right here when I really need you!"
Sheeshh ....... I'm a kitty we know everything about the beans we care for. She's starting to feel a little better and things are getting back to normal, so I can start visiting more and posting more. After all, its getting to be spring! All kitties love spring.

If you want to send purrs to mine kitty cousins in Mass-achoo-sits I know that they would like it. Spencer especially has been very sad; he was best buds with the grandbean. They used to sit and watch the Red Sox together, now he just sits all by himself in the chair they shared.

I Do Not.

2009-01-28T18:07:00.001-08:00

I Do Not.

Snore.

That is all.

Home Work

2009-01-06T18:59:00.000-08:00

My NOMS Pal Eduardo, the Snuggle Puggle has started a new business!
Even better than that he's adding employees. So far all of the staff are dogs (not that there is anything wrong with that).
But I think if what you's are makin' are high quality naps on the beans bed, what you's really need is a kitty.
Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about. Above is some of mine world class chill-axin'. Yeah, I loves 'laxin & snoozin' on the down comforter.
Did you know that a down comforter is filled with feathers?
Its true!

I think this really shows mine highest quality snooze makin'.
Can't ya just hear the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz's?
I gots mine paws all tucked up for a fine winter's nap.

If you's a kitty, or even a doggie (not that there is anything wrong with that) looking for a jobbie, and in this eck-o-nommy who isn't, just give Eduardo a visit and tell him you's wanna sign up.

Happy New Year Baby!

2009-01-01T12:14:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year!
And Happy Birthday Fin!
It was Fin's idea for all of us to post some baby pictures. We's all New Year Babies today.
OK. This is the first-est picture of me. Taken the day after I came home. I was just 2 pounds and 8 weeks old.

You may go Squeeeeeeeeeee! now.

Who's that little cutie in the sink?
That's me, That's me!
I have loved playin' and sleepin' in the sink from the very first.
This is from the day I discovered paper bags.

This is the computer mombean had at the time. She's had, like, 2 or 3 computers since then. Now that she has a laptop I don't get to lay on the keyboard any more. But I still let her know when she's spendin' too much time payin' attention to it and not enough to me!

Secret Paws

2008-12-25T15:28:00.000-08:00

My Secret Paw box arrived!!
Its from Kaze, Latte & Chase, Thank you all so much!
Actually, the box arrived yesterday, but mean ol' mombean said I had to wait until to day to open....
Open, open, open!

Ooooo! A lovely new purr pad. Purr-fect for a nice snuggle.

And what is this? It looks like some of your takeout leftovers.

(please ignore mombean's feet at the bottom of the picture. I mean white sweat socks and icky-tacky wornout brown clogs. She swears she only wears them in the house! She can be soooo tacky.)

Oooooo! These are lovely! Soft and fuzzy fortune cookies filled with nip! My fortune sez I'll have a happy new year.
And a red puff and sparkle ball, my faves!

Fewwwww. After chasing around with the fortune cookies like mad I need to rest. Ah, my new purr pad in a nice sunbeam, just the thing for a little snooze. Yeah, I gives the fortune cookies 4 paws up, they are really great.

Thank you Kaze, Latte & Chase this is the best Secret Paws ever!

Dewey The Library Cat

2008-12-23T19:37:00.000-08:00

My great pals Kimo & Sabi had a fun contest on their blog and the prize was a great book: Dewey The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World.
Thank you, thank you guys!

As you can see from the cover of the book, he's a Gorgeous Ginger mancat.
I think we look a little alike. But then all ginger mancat's are handsome!

This was a fun contest, and I'm really looking forward to settling on mine mombean's lap so she can read it to me. Reading together is always a special time, and this will be a lot more fun than the history and politics books she usually reads.

BONUS:
Photo shoot out-take!
Hey! Where's ma head??

Presents!

2008-12-22T16:47:00.000-08:00

This fall mine cousins in Mass-a-chew-zits adopted 2 lil' kittens that needed a forever home. They came to their forever September 26, they were only 6 weeks old. Now, that is a little young to leave their catmom, but they was in a bad place and really needed a forever home.

Well, Jennie and Winston, the cutest black kittens ever, slurped up their milk replacer and munched their kitten chow and their V-E-T said they were amazingly healthy and should grow to be good cats.
They live with 2 older kitties, Spencer and Audrey, who have been helping them grow up, even though little kittens can be a pain in the tail with their antics.

In the house in Mass-a-chew-zits they have a big hot box called a Franklin Stove. See the beans make a fire in the box and it gets all warm. There is a big pillow in front of the hot box that is the warmest place in the house. Of course that is the best place to nap.

I thought that they would like to have some kitty Ham-icks so that there wouldn't be fights over the pillow. I sent the Ham-icks for their Holiday pressie. Oh, I sent some nip Raviolis too, and some treats for the big kitties!
(Click on the pics to big-i-fy)
They opened the package early, coz it was getting cold outside and all the kitties were trying to nap on 1 pillow. As, you can see they love the Ham-icks!
(sorry, the pics aren't great, the bean's don't do digital pics so these are pis of pics)

As you can see the kittens are still small enough to snuggle together on one Ham-ick! Aren't they the sweetest ever?
Or, they each have their own, Jennie likes the nip Raviolis too.
They like to chase each other back and forth and bounce on the Ham-icks like trampolines.

(Spencer was napping in a undisclosed location and wouldn't come out to have his picture taken.)

Big thanks to Forty Paws and the HotMBCs for helping me to give the best pressies ever!

Snow Day

2008-12-11T18:42:00.000-08:00

Look at what mine good friends Diamond Emerald Eyes made for me!Its totally C-O-O-L!!
Thank you Diamond.

Because I'm a San Francisco kitty I never actually seen snow, but it does look fun.

{snort .... giggle .... laugh}

Hey, mombean, stop laughing at me! She grew up in New England where mine pal Millie lives. This is what is looks like when is snows at Millie's house. It sure looks cold. And its s'posed ta be wet too. Maybe mombean is right, its fun to look at, but ya don't want ta be in it.

I think I'll just nap in mine nice warm kitty cave.

The Look & An Award

2008-11-20T16:30:00.001-08:00

Last week mine good pal Halloween gave me a super cool award and mine mombean hasn't done anything about helping me post it to mine bloggie.

Hummppppffffffff!
I disprove of such tardiness and had to do something about it.
So, I jumped on the desk, got in her face and gave her The Look.
As you can see it got results.

Thank you, thank you Halloween for this great award!
It says:

"With the Premium Dardos, recognize the values that each blogger shows each day in commitment to transmit cultural values, ethical, literary, personal etc. that, in short, demonstrate their creativity by alive thinking that remains intact from their letters and words."

This label implies two rules: the first, link the blog to which he/she received the award. The second - pick blogs to deliver the prize."
I's would like to hand it on to:

Darling Millie

&

Roxy & Lucky

Both are great blogs and they post everyday!
(I can only dream of making mine mombean blog that often.)
Thir bean's are sisters, so I guess it runs in the family. Also, they lives in New England (USA) and that is where mine mombean grew up, so she kinda feels like they are neighbors -- a few thousand miles from here. But, really, there is no distance in cyberspace is there?

Tummy Tuesday

2008-11-17T18:39:00.000-08:00

Mmm, Mmmm Good

2008-11-13T18:12:00.000-08:00

In the afternoon mine mombean likes to have a cup of coffee to perk her up and keep her going.

Me, I like a little nosh of greens!

Hey, Sol & Faith Boo This is NOT the right way to nom nom yer greens.
That goes for you too Smokey & BJ.

BJ, you was doin' it right here.

Greens is sooo good to nom and sooo good for ya!

Helpin' With The Chores

2008-10-30T18:26:00.000-07:00

Hey!
I knows the mombean is cuttin' back and tryin' ta save, but....
The new trash bags she's got doesn't fit the trash basket.
Just look!
I's can get mine paw in here. What will happen if the trash does too?

Nothing good comes when ya try's ta help.
Ya knows, I think I'm just gonna act like nothing is wrong.
Ya thinks she'll notice?

(mombean note: He had his whole head in the hole at one point. Alas, I wasn't quick enough with the camara)

Farmer Beezer's Farm Report

2008-10-21T19:11:00.000-07:00

Hi kitties!
Farmer Beezer here with the farm report.

I know that for all you kitties in the northern climates its harvest time for your outsides garden, and now its time to start thinking about your insides winter garden. I have have 2 lil' pun'kins fresh from the vine to dress up mine window garden spot. I thinks it adds a little somethin' special. (I has to get the mombean to wash the outsides of the window. She says its a pain in the 'tocks coz we lives on the 3rd floors)

As you can see I have a nice crop of yummy kitty grass for some green munchin'. I also have some nip comin' in for the dark and cold evenings ahead. Its soooo hard to just let it grow and not take a little munch to make sure that its growing right. But, it really is worth the effort. A little fesh nip makes any time brighter! (Also, mine mombean keeps moving it to a window shelf where I can't get to it. Bummer.)

So make sure that you have all your supplies for the winter window growing season ahead. I always suggest you get some fresh 'wheat berries' from the health food store to grow the best kitty grass coz its cheaper. You's just plant them like they's seeds -- coz they are!
Save some green papers for happy beans and grow munchy greens for a happy kitty!

Ta-ta for now,
Farmer Beezer

I Am So Not....

2008-10-17T20:51:00.000-07:00

BORING!!

Yeah, that's what I said.
I am not. Boring.
See the reason I haven't had a new post in so long is that I've been told that I really don't do anything very interesting. Well, Hummmpppffffffff is all I have to say to that.

Here's what I've been doin'..........Nappin' in mine kitty cave. Now that the season has started to change I'm changing up mine nappy spots.

Checkin' out the baby pumpkins we gots for fall decorations.

Sharin' mine bed with a lil' pumpkin to show the Great Pumpkin that I'm a sincere mancat so's he'll bring me lots & lots o' treats on Halloween.

Back to mine Kitty Cave for a snooze after playin' with mine favorite rolly-ball, parked next to mine cave.

Checkin' out the Ham-Micks I gots for holiday prezzies to send to mine cousins back east. I must say Dorfington Fish Stanley Does a great job here. I'm sure that mine cousins in New York and in Mass-a-chew-sits will love these. Please note that I restrained mine self and just gave it a good sniff; then put a little of mine own smell on it, but didn't nap on it.
(I hopes your brofur, Bow, is feelin' better. Purrs to hims)

Listening to sweet Darling Millie demanding some treats!
You go girl! Tell that mombean to make with the good stuff and quit takin' all the pictures.

Cozyin' up to mine nip ravioli/ pillow for a little r'n'r.

Now does all this sound like I'm a boring fellow??
No, I don't think so either.

Look What I Gots In The Mail

2008-09-30T18:28:00.000-07:00

So this afternoon I was sittin' around just usin' mine laser eyes to tele-path-icly beam the idea that some treats would be a good idea when ....

Hey! Is that the door-buzz?

Oh, its the bloo-shorts folks.
they's always hittin' the door-buzz coz we got's a small mail box and mine mombean was compainin' that bloo-shorts folks was stuffin' and jammin' the mail in the box. It was gettin' all bent and smooshed and wadded up, and some of her mag-zines was getting ripped. Grrrrr, she said.

Well, today when she gots back from the mail box she said:
"Hey, Beezie," (she calls me Beezie sometimes) "there is a package for you!"
I could tell right away that it must be from mine pal Skeezix, coz it had P-I-N-K tape on it! Where he got pink tape I donno'.
Look at what he sent me! Some totally cool Skeezie cards, I'm only gonna send these to mine bestest friends. There is a selection of 4 cards (2 of each) so's I can have just the right card for the occation. Like Rock Star Skeezix for a happy birthday (50's or 80's), or Skeez-a-lisa for a get well, or Skeezix Gothic for con-cat-ulation for a new jobbie or home. They's blank on the inside so I can write whatever I want to make it personal.
There is also some great Catster swag! And some Skeezix and Catster button pins that I gave to mine mombean (after she begged and gived me treats) so she can put them on her backpack that she takes everywhere.

Thank you, thank you Skeezix!
You are a great pal!
I'm sure that everyone who gets a special Skeezix card will think you are handsome.

Pirate Day

2008-09-18T19:16:00.000-07:00

Arrrrgggg, me fellow hearties!
Tis a fine day for a cruise and I gots mine jolly roger flag:

I's all set to sail and shiver me timbers, 'tis a fair blow comin' up. Set me course for adventure and lots of booty. I hopes to find a fair lass to join me. Any scally-wag who gets in mine way will feel the sharpness of mine claws!

My pirate name is:

Mad Roger Flint

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com.

Oh no's! The Black Furrball's mombean has lost her beloved Merlyn. Please go and give her lots a good purrs to help her feel better.

Love Eyes & Awards

2008-09-17T19:07:00.000-07:00

Every night after mine mombean has done all the things that she does ... I don't know ... stuff at the hot box, stuff at the sink, stuff where she kicks me outta the desk chair ... ya know. I make her sit down and watch a little TV. Then I get in her lap and just relax. I like to look up at her and give her the Love Eyes.
(Oh, she says don't look at the plaid PJ pants and soft 'n' old big shirt she has on!)

Look at these nice awards that mine brofur from andder mudder Ping gave to me!
Thanks, Pal, You Rock Dude!!

I pass these awsome awards on to:
Fat Eric (from one ginger bro to another, to another!)
The sweeties at House of the (Mostly) Black Cats
And anyone else who wants to play

OMG Sandals!

2008-09-06T18:37:00.000-07:00

Mine mombean has these cheap plastic sport sandals that I just love!
I'm not a shoe guy; boots & slippers & Sneakers do nothing for me, but I just can't get enough of these sandals.
She doesn't wear then often, but it was hot today so she put them on to go shopping. When she got home & took them off..... OMG

I sniff on them.....

I rub all over on them ........

Oh, yes, I do!!!!!!!!

(Ya know what else? Her toes & legs are just as white as mine.)

Back To Bed

2008-08-29T20:48:00.001-07:00

::Sigh::
Its nice to go back to bed after a good breakfast.

Indignant!

2008-08-23T18:48:00.000-07:00

Oh, sure I look like Mr. Happy 'n' Relaxed now .....

But earlier today I went to mine box to take care of bid'ness. You know what I'm talking about. I seemed to have a little digestive issue and I made a bit of a mess. While that alone is a bit embarrassing, its not really a big deal, right Skeezix? Baby Mao?

Well, I gotted some on mine tail, and when mine mombean smelled it, she shrieked! She grabbed me and hauled me to the kitchen sink, plopped me in and turned on the water! I gots mine tail and spot 13 washed but good!! It will take me hours to get mine furs all back to normal.

This is not the way a mancat should be treated. I mean unceremoniously dumped into the sink and washed, with water! Humpfffff!! I am Indignant! This is no way for a mancat of mine stature to be treated.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can get mine revenge?

Where have you been?

2008-08-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

All this week mine mombean has been rushing through dinner and then dashing out the door to be gone for about an hour. Then when she comes home with odd smells on her.
Where has she been going?
She has been seeing other kitties!
Their beans are on vacation, and she has been going to feed and check on them.
This is Bucky. He's a handsome buff - light ginger mancat. Mine mombean sez that he is really sweet and always meets her at the door with a meow and begs for lovin'. Yes, he's a real love sponge. He likes to give her little sandpaper kisses and even little love bites. Not the kind of bites that hurt, he's much too much of a gentlemancat for that, and little soft paw whaps (claws carefully sheathed) too. Mine mombean gives him lots of pets and brushes him too, he likes that. He also follows her around when she is getting his chow and fresh water. She even scoops the litter!

This is Suzy-Q. She's a little shy at first, but she really likes mine mombean now. She likes to be rubbed on and brushed. She even gave mine mombean some sandpaper kisses too! I think she's a real looker, she has such sweet eyes, and beautiful cow-cat black spots. First Halloween and now Suzy-Q, California Girls kitties are da bomb! Am I right guys?

They are more interested in getting loves then the chow she gives them (the bowls are all empty when she goes to see them -- I guess they feel that they can eat any time but gotta get the lovin' while she's there), which mime mombean thinks is really sweet. So, she has been sitting with them for a while and giving them pets and stuff.

Mine mombean sez that their beans will be back from their vacation tomorrow. I guess that its OK that she has been going to see them and getting their smell all over her hands and jeans. They might be lonely with there mombean and dadbean away.

As long as mine mombean remembers who really owns her. Me!

Sweet Violette Noelle

2008-08-10T16:44:00.001-07:00

Little Sprout you were so sweet. I am soooo sad that you couldn't stay longer. There is a very special Angel looking down on us all today.

A Visit With Halloween!

2008-08-10T16:09:00.000-07:00

Mine mombean went to have lunch with Halloween's Food Lady and they talked about all kinds of neat stuff. Including how to make our bloggies better. She said it was a lot of fun and really cool to meet another mombean who is just as ~~crazy~~ funny as she is!

She even got to meet Halloween in person. She is even prettier in person with lots of cute ginger tinged furrs. Ya know what? She sniffed mine mombean's hand! Then she ran away like any sensible kitty; and gave her a good meow to boot. Atta girl Halloween, you're mine kinda ladycat.

Look at all the goodies that Halloween sent home for me!
Hey, that Party Mix is a new kinda treat for me. It smells really good.
I wanna eat some!!
Open Wide, here comes the good stuff.....

*Nom, nom, nom, nom*

More Please! This has all mine favorite flavors, Shrimps, Crabs, and Tunas. Its a party in mine mouth.

Thank you, Thank you Halloween and Food lady.
Cat blogger's rule!

NOMS

2008-08-04T18:55:00.000-07:00

I have 2 sis-furs as my very special Not On My Species bestest friends:That's Roxy on the left and Lucky on the right. They are very adventurous girls who live in New Hampshire, that's near where mine mombean grew up in Massachusetts! Their blog is called The Devil Dog, when ya go and visit tell 'em 'Beezer sent me!', I'm sure they'll give you a warm welcome.

The girls and I are a lot alike, here are some of the things my Pug-a-lishous (Get it? Coz they's Pug doggies!) friends like just as much as I do.
Roxy likes to get on the bean's eating table. So do I!
She can't get down and needs to wait for somebean to lift her off. I can jump up and down when ever I want. If I ever go to New Hampshire I'm gonna teach her how to jump down.

She also likes to sleep with her boybean, PlusOne. I love to nap with mine mombean. We even have a nap blankie that looks just like this one!

Lucky likes to nap in the nap blankie too.
Roxy sez that she is very blond, (I think that means she a little ditzy).
She likes to sleep with PlusOne every night. I sleep with mine mombean every night too. I think she really loves her boybean a lot, and that makes her very special, no matter how ditzy she may act sometimes.

I hope you enjoyed meeting my NOMS friends. I think they are really great, even if they aren't kitties.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

2008-08-02T20:09:00.000-07:00

Huh, what?
Oh, you're awake.
Can't we just sleep in this morning?
I need my mancat beauty sleep you know.

Come on Beezer, its a beautiful day, up and at 'em!!
Early bird gets the worm.

Worm? Blech. Who, in their right mind would want a worm?
You may wake me again when there are fresh crunchies in mine dish.

Doin' Da Empty Monty

2008-07-28T18:17:00.000-07:00

Doin' da Full Monty isn't somthin' special round here.
I like ta flash this Full Monty when I'm empty!
It means that I'm wanting for mine dinner.
So its really da Empty Monty.

Sheesh! See what I gotta do?
I wants ma food, and it better be somethin' stinky and yummy.

Hey! Is that the can opener?

Handsome ManCat

2008-07-13T19:01:00.000-07:00

Mirror, mirror, on the closet door, who's the handsomest mancat of all?

I gots so much handsome I needs to outsource some!

What's On Your Cold Box?

2008-07-09T18:44:00.000-07:00

Roxy and Lucky tagged us for the Cold box Meme. So, here goes.

The rules are: Show us a photo of the front of your Cold Box and tell us about at least one thing on it and one thing you keep inside of it! Tag your friends and remember to stay COOL! And no fair cleaning it up first!!!

(click on the pic to biggen)

On the top line you can see mine mombean's collection of magnetic clips. She uses these for bags of cereal, rice, coffee, kitty crunchies, chips, any thing that comes in a bag. Next to that you can see the notices that her health insurance sent for how to know a heart attact or stroke. Under that are the magnets she got at the gift shop at Joshua Tree National Park. It's in the Mojave Desert and it's the hotest place she's ever been. It's as hot as the hot-as-hell box where she cooks dinner. Why she would want to go there I don't know, but she sez its nice for a change and very beautiful. I like the Jack Rabbit and Quail best. The little chipmunk is cute too. The coyote I'm not all that sure about, it looks like a dawg, and I'm a little scared of dawgs. Next to that are just some silly stuff even she's not sure why she's kept.

But what's really on the cold box.....
Mombean's bazillions of plastic containers. I think she has every yogurt, salsa, margarine, potato salad, cheese spread, and cookie pail she ever got!!
(She hates to throw out or recycle anything that she might be able to reuse.)
And that doesn't even mention the big ones she bought with nothing in them!
She never uses plastic wrap ot tin foil to save leftovers, store pasta sauce or soup in the freezer, or to pack her lunch for work -- she just uses these. Oh, there are lots more that you can't see! Lots of shapes and sizes..... She did pack up some and put them out in the recycle bin a few weeks ago. I heard her apologize to them "I'm sorry" she said, like they knew or cared -- hey mombean, its plastic!
Oh, I can't forget the fire puter - outer! That should always be handy. She's never had to use it, but safety first.

Ok, now I have to tag some friends to play along ....
1. Kimo and Sabi
2. Ping my brudder from anudder mudder
3. You!! Come on and play along!

My Chair

2008-07-07T18:20:00.001-07:00

The biggest drawback to long weekends is that I never get to nap in my chair. She keeps saying that its her chair and that she needs to sit there because she wants to read her book, or surf the web, or, or, or..... I really don't know what it is she does.

But now its back to normal, and I can nap in my chair again.

Caturday Meme

2008-06-30T18:45:00.000-07:00

Hi ya!!
I spent the afternoon just hangin' around thinkin' about my answers to the meme that mine good pal and fellow mancat Pepi tagged me for.

Ok..... Here's da rules for the meme: Be honest. Tag other people. Have fun!

What is your name?
Well, mine official name (the one they have at the v-e-t office) is Butterball. I helped mine mombean figure out that Beezer is a heck of a lot better.

If you could change your name, what would it be?
I already ready changed it! I think Beezer reflects my inner-mancat. Although, sometimes mine mombean calls me 'Beezie-Boo' or 'Beezie-Weezie-Boo'; but that is just when she's lovin' on me with hugs & kisses so I kinda let it slide.

What is your pet's name?
Does kitty grass count? Cuz I calls it *nom,nom,nom*

What is your brother or sister's name?
I'm an only kitty. Sometimes mine mombean talks about a sibling for me, like when there are pictures of really cute kittens on the blogosphere. But I just love on her and she knows that I'm not inta sharin' her with any other kitty.

If you could change their name, what would it be?
Ummmm...... I don't know what to say here.....

I tag:
Roxy
& anyone else who hasn't played yet!

Freebies Stuff!!

2008-06-25T18:51:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago mine good pals at Artsy Catsy listed a whole bunch of places that would send kitties stuff for free! Yeah, that's right no green papers needed. Well, I just filled out a few things and click - click all done.
Go Here to see all the places they found, you'll be glad you did!

This week stuff started arrivin' so far I got some great crunchies from Blue Buffalo. It even came with a coupon so when mine mombean goes to get me more she won't have to give the store so many green papers.

Man this stuff was good. Sadly, I ate it all and there is none left. Bummer.

Look what arrived today! Yeah, that's Greenies!! Free Greenies!!! I just don't know what could be better..... Uh, what's wrong with this picture? Its not open, that's what. MEOW! Open, open, open.

Oh, yeah, eatin' free Greenies!
I just open mine mouth and mombean places a yummy Greenie inside ... Curnch, crunch. *nom, nom, nom* I'm ready for another.

Thank you, thank you Rocky, Fracas, Callie, Ivan, Oscar, Lucy & Bitsy. You kitties are the best pals.

Nap Blankie

2008-06-20T17:40:00.000-07:00

Its the weekend! And that means I get to nappy with mine mombean and the nap blankie. I really loves nappin' with mine mombean, its the besterest part of the weekend. I look forward to it all week.

I also love the nap blankie. Mine mombean has had the nap blankie for ... oh, I don't know, it was here when I got here. She sez that she used the nap blankie to nap with the kitty who came before, and the kitty who came before that, and even the kitty who came before that!! She sez that was a long time ago and she was just a little bean kitten then. Her Grant Aunt (her Grandmother's sister) made it and gave it to her.

My Pug pal Lucky has a blankie that she uses when she naps with her boybean kitten, PlusOne. It kinda looks like mine.

Hey Lucky, where did your nap blankie come from?

Summer Reading

2008-06-16T19:21:00.000-07:00

Hey! Beezer, how did my book get on your bed? I haven't finished reading that yet.

I'm just starting my summer reading. I try to be a well read kitty and its a good thing that I have similar tastes to mine mombean.

Cormac McCarthy's newest was published a year and a half ago, and will be a major motion picture soon.

The Road is McCarthy's dystopian, post-apocalyptic novel is set in a world of nuclear winter where ash is falling like snow and all wildlife and plants have died. There is no mention of kitties, and I shudder to think what may have happened to them.

The main people are a father and son who are traveling to find some place or any place where they can just live. As they make their way to the sea, where the father thinks it may be better, they encounter all manner of horrors. The only thing that keeps them alive and moving is the love the father has for his son, and his determination that the boy will survive.

I won't give away the end, but I found this to be a very thought provoking book and would recommend it to any kitty or their bean.

Furry Fighter Friday

ManCat Monday

Tasty greeny goodness!

Bad Boy

2008-06-06T19:10:00.000-07:00

Mine monbean is a big, big music fan and she has 3 big racks full of CD's, I mean she must have a bazillion of these things! When I want something, like more crunchies in my bowl and she just won't listen to me meow, or if I want to nap in the desk chair and she just wont move, I pull a few off the rack.
It really makes her crazy!
She sez stuff like "Beezer NO!!" And "Bad Boy!"Like I'm gonna listen to that. I WANT somethin' and I WANT IT NOW!!

If I get no response the first time I just do it again. Like this:

I've been doin' this since I was a kitten.
Oh yeah, I'm a bad boy alright!
Bad Boy, Bad Boy, Wa-cha gonna do?
I think we know who really runs this place.

Its Exhausting

2008-06-03T19:07:00.000-07:00

I's all tuckered out from catching up with all my pals and just need to rest my eyes......

Oh, just to let my pals at Jan's Funny Farm know, I don't not like woofies. Roxy and Lucky are grrrreat woofies and grrrreat cyber-pals, just like you are.

But, when I's was a little guy I's was at the V-E-T for a well kitten check up, and when I's was waiting for the doctor there was this really big woofie who came up and stuck his HUGE nose up to my PTU started sniffin'. I's never seen a nose that big before!! I's got real scared at that big nose pointin' right at me! I's gots all hissy and puffy and I's hissed & puffed as big as I's could hiss & puff. Mine mombean grabbed the PTU and moved it up where that nose couldn't get to sniff at me. She held me close and rubbed my ears and told me it was OK..... [mombean: it was Lab type, very friendly to kitties, woofie]

So's I's not sure I's like woofies in person. No one should have a nose that big. *shudders* And wet!! *shudders again*

Oh, mine mombean sez that she loves, loves, loves woofies. She even grew up in a house that had kitties, woofies & bunnies!!

Back again

2008-05-31T21:04:00.000-07:00

Boy, oh boy, its been a long time!

Mine mombean had all these excuses for not being able to help me post my news and thoughts. But, I just got tired of hearing all about her work-jobbie, and problems. So's I's just put mine paw down. I's told her that if she didn't get back on the job of helping me I'd have to do somthin' drastic. I didn't want to have to get so tough on her, I's really do loves her a lot, and I know that she's been havin' a tough time. But, a mancat's gotta do what a mancat's gotta do.

I think we have worked somthin' out and I'll be postin' more regularly now.

What has everyone been up to?

Too Much Monkey Busniess

2008-04-21T19:35:00.000-07:00

First, I gots ta say a big thanks to mine pals Ollie & Sunny for this totally awesome award! *blush* No one ever called me hip before.

Second, I know I haven't posted in a while .... I'm still here!
Where have I been? Well, right here!

The mombean sez there is too much 'monkey business' going on at her work-job so she's been getting home late.
Late and grumpy!
Hey! I'm the one waiting for mine dinner!! And she has the nerve to be grumpy. Sheeeesh.

And what is this monkey busy-ness? I don't know. I thought she worked with computers. I sniff her good when she comes home and she doesn't smell different. Don't monkeys smell? I've seen them on TV and they look like they smell.

Anyway ...... I've been able to visit a little and I've been joining in on the raffles & stuff. And I've been purrin' & purrin' for my friends.
Here's what else I've been doin'.....
Nappin' on mine bed.
Nappin' on her bed.....
Sittin' on mine Gizzy on the rocker.....
Loungin' on the futon in the sun.....
Ya know, I try to keep busy.

Purring For Our Friends

2008-04-12T12:12:00.000-07:00

We are very sad and purring as hard as we can.
Sweet kitties please be safe.
Sweet Mom Laura you are in our thoughts and purrayers.

A Warning & New Treat Jar

2008-03-31T20:00:00.000-07:00

We was getting ready for lights out on Saturday and mine mombean lit this candle on the table in front of the window. She thought it would make a nice picture to have me on the table too. So, being a nice guy, I jumped up and went to let her take mine picture. I'd never seen a candle before so I went over to have a closer look. I stuck my nose up to the bright part. It was hot, Hot, HOT!! I quickly ran away, and sneezed like a bazillion times!

Mombean got all upset and thought that I might have burned my nose.
She put out the candle and turned on all the lights, and picked me up and said:
"Oh, Beezer! Are you OK?? Sweetie, are you hurt?"

I'm fine! I didn't burn my nose or singe my whiskers or anything.
But candles are B-A-D! Like stoves and hot-as-hell box bad. Every kitty should stay away.

The really good news is that the new treat jar I won arrived.
Yuki & Kimiko & Kintaro (and their mombean) at Kazoku Neko had an auction to raise funds for our kitty furr-ends in need and I was the highest bidder on a great new treat Jar.

Mombean thinks that is would be a good place to keep her chocolate kisses and the last chocolate Easter Bunny. I think it would be a purr-fect place for temptations.

Am I right or am I right? I mean it has cute kitty faces on it, why she thinks it would be for her treats I just don't know.

There were lots of great things in the auction and I think Yuki & Kimiko & Kintaro did a really great job. ::Clap, clap, clap::
They helped some great kitties and we all had a really great time.
Thank You!

A Poem For My Tummy

2008-03-24T19:00:00.000-07:00

My Tummy

By Beezer

Soft and Warm
Floofy and White
You better not touch
Or I might bite!

Report From E. Bunny

2008-03-22T21:08:00.000-07:00

Shhhhhhhh......
*Whispers*
I gotta be quiet here, Beezer is sound asleep.

But I thought I post a sneak peek at his basket:There's Temptations, of course, and a new Laser toy. He's never had one of these before, so I hope he likes it.
Plus two different kinds of seeds for his farm. On the right there are some of the wheat grass seed I know he likes so much; and on the left there are some clover seeds. He's never grown clover before, but as a Bun I can tell ya, clover is great!

Oh, you may have noticed, there is no basket grass in his basket. That's coz his mombean said "Absolutely no more basket grass for you!", after the incident Easter Day in aught 2. Now, that was a first class mess, I tell ya!

I hope he likes his basket.

To all good Kitties, Woffies, Bunnies, Furries and Beans,
Have a Hoppy, Hoppy day!!

Respectfully Submitted,
E. Bunny

P.S. Don't tell ..... I've hidden some chocolate for the mombean!

After Dinner

2008-03-12T21:04:00.000-07:00

Farmer Beezer sez:After Dinner I like to mosey on over to mine garden and nibble a little kitty grass.
Yep, nothing beats home grown crunchy, munchy, goodness.

Easy Like Sunday

Blogging is hard work!

So I'm gonna just snooze a little and dream about my Precious Sweet Pea (a.k.a. Squirt to her dadbean)
You can't really see coz of the flash, but I was just looking a her picture on her bloggie. She really is a sweet dream.

Farmer Beezer's Spring Report

2008-03-02T13:05:00.001-08:00

***!!Update!!***

KC gave me the 'E' for Excellent award for this post!

I am honored, KC. Thank you so much; it is always great to know that your work is appreciated.
=================

Hi there fellow Farmers!
Beezer here with the Spring Has Sprung report.
Whether you are a big time farmer with a whole garden or just have a windowsill in an apartment, like me, its time to start thinkin' about the cat grass plantin' season.

This season I tried somthin' new. I had mine mombean go to the health food store to get my seeds. Here is what she got:
Its called 'Organic Sprouting, Hard Red Wheat Berries'.
What that means is its all natural, nothing added, and ready to grow.
Now there are 2 kinds of Red Wheat, hard and soft; tell ya the truth I don't know what the difference is, but the hard kind is workin' great for me. Oh, and 'Berries' is just fancy way to say 'seed'. Just have your bean go in to the health food store and ask for 'wheat grass seeds', tell 'em its fur growin' yer own, and I'm sure they can help you out.
Best of all it only costs 59 cents a pound! Heck, a little envelope package at the garden store, only enough for 1 plantin' was over 2 bucks! This is a real bargain. We got enough for 4 or 5 or even 6 plantin's for less than 25 cents. I'm sure that you can find that in the sofa cushions.

Here is what it looked like a week after plantin':
Startin' to come up nice huh?

A few days later it looks like this:
Ready for a test nibble I'd say.
Mmmmm, Mmm, Mmmm! Nothin' beats the taste of home grown green goodness.

So, give it a try you'll be glad ya did!

Wordless Wednesday

2008-02-26T18:51:00.001-08:00

A Nip ravioli as a pillows makes for sweet dreams.

You *go* lil Pirate!
I'm purrin' & Purrin for ya.

Ugg - Rain again

2008-02-19T21:17:00.000-08:00

I am soooo ready for spring!
Its cold and rainy here in San Francisco, again. I saw that my pal Sophia a.k.a. Stealth Kitty! feels the same. Nothing to do but pull the blanket over your head and go back to sleep.

Here is what mine mombean saw when she came home today:
Yeah, yeah, I'm in here!

Oh, is it time for dinner?
Be right there!

ManCat Monday

2008-02-17T19:04:00.000-08:00

Mine mombean went shopping yesterday for some foods stuff, and when she came home she said:
"Mmmm Broccoli, Onions, Carrots, Green Beans, Eggplant, Celery, Oranges, Bananas! Boy, are we gonna be eatin' good this week."

Eating? She calls that junk food? Hummpfffff. I was really up set. No stinky goodness, no chunchie goodness, no Temptations, no Pounce, no Greenies. In short nothin' fur ME!

Then one of the shopping bags flew off the counter and drifted to the floor. Well, I am the mancat of the house, so I pounced into action to make sure that it didn't hurt any childrens coz it says on it to "Not A Toy. Keep away from Children."

Take that you bad plastic bag! Grrrr!
Hear me roar you carrier of icky things!

I'll teach you fear with my mighty ManCat Laser eyes!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Beezer! What are you doing?"

Nothin's, mombean.

"I was going to use that for the garbage. And now you have made it full of holes, it won't hold a thing."

Double Hummpppffffff.

Valentine's Day

2008-02-09T17:37:00.000-08:00

I've been thinkin' about Valentines day.
Of course I have my special Valentine, Precious Flower, she is just the sweetest girl kitty any guy could ask for. Last year I wrote her a poem and asked her to be mine, and she said yes! Oh, I've been on cloud 9 ever since.
I'm sure that she'll be mine again this year.
::Smiles Sweetly::

There are also lots of girl kitties (and a woofie or 2) who are friends and who make me smile and feel happy, not like a romance, just like a good friend. So, I thought that this year I'd get bunches and bunches of flowers to give to them to let them know that I'm so glad that they are my friend.

Sweet darling Millie works very hard with her Mom to help make the wonderful Gizzy Quilts that many of us lucky kitty have to nap on. When I curl up on mine to take a nap I like to think of her sweet face and know that she helped to make my quilt purr-fection.

The lady kitties over at The House of the (Mostl y) Black Cat s, Sanjee, Boni, Mini & Gree are 4 of the finest Tuxie sweethearts. Any guy is lucky to call them friend. And what can I say about the Nip Raviolis? Sublime!

I can't forget
Missy, KC and Momma Dinah! They have spent the past year raising the cutest bunch of Mites. Six kittens all at once is a lot but they made it look easy. The lil' darlin's adventures growing up has been so much fun to watch. Then along came Momma Tortie and her three...
You ladies deserve flowers every day!

Sweet Miss Peach has been a wonderful lady to get to know. She is always a gracious hostess, and a cup of tea in her garden or in front of the fire in her cozy Victorian Parlor with a little quiet conversation is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Daisy, is always ready for a fun adventure, and is always learning and teaching me new things. Like all about Lizards, and fashion, plus she's a doctor! Having a doctor on an adventure is great, no one needs to worry about a cut or scrape, she will bandage you right up.
Her sis-furr Pixie, may be a little more subdued, but she is very nice too. Just don't try to take her banan'er!

Sophia and Fiona, the Meezer bun always make me laugh, whether is looking for a perfect sunbeam for a nice nap or the perfect lettuce for a bunny snack they are great gals to know. Oh, and they spend so much time organizing the Secret Paws I just don't know how they get it all done.

Roxy and Lucky, Millie's woofie cousins, have shown me that not all dogs are scary. They are brave pooches who protect the boy when he sleeps and they keep their Mom warm and snugglie when she needs to relax. Roxy can make any day fun with her crazy antics.

Abby, Boo, and Gracie are the sis-furrs of my brother from a different mother, Ping, so I guess that makes them my sis-furrs from a different mother! They may be dainty, but they always know how to get their way.

Sadie, Bianca, Annie and Leah (the woofie)
bring wonderful mosaic arts and good times from way down south in North Carolina. They even kept me up to date on all their doings when they were on vacation! That's blogging dedication.

This is for all the wonderful ladies of the Cat Blogosphere (the shop ran out of flowers before I could name you all) you are each special in your own way, and you make each day new and exciting! I love you all.

I Have A Secret ...

2008-02-04T20:09:00.000-08:00

Admirer!

When mine mombean came home tonight she had an envelope that came in the mail addressed to me!

Its a Valentine!! For me!
Who could it be from? I don't know, it says its from "A secret Admirer".
Wow, someone really must think I'm special. Its a really good feeling to know that some one cares.

Thank you Secret Admirer!
I'm going to have to think and think and think to see if I can figure out the mystery of who it might be. A mystery and a special friend, I'm a lucky guy.

Holiday Gizzy Quilt Gift

2008-02-02T11:11:00.000-08:00

We sent a Holiday Gizzy Quilt and Nip Ravioli to our country cousins Toast and Ivan. They live in the Hudson Valley NY about a hundred miles north of New York City. It has been a cold and snowy winter for them this year, so they are enjoying quality indoor time.

Here are some pictures that their beans sent to us.

This is Toast. He says he's ready for his close up on his Gizzy. Isn't he a Handsome mancat? Gorgeous Ginger runs in the family.
"Ok, you can go away now, I'm ready for my nap!"

This is Ivan. What a total Nip Head! He has very big paws, all the better to hold his Nip Ravioli.

If you look in the corner over his head is his old, and now unloved, mouse toy.

Oh, yeah! that's the good stuff! Ivan is in total heaven.

Gorgeous Ginger Wednesday

2008-01-29T19:00:00.000-08:00

I have decided that I like my new bed. Its near mine mombean's desk so I can be near her, in comfort, while she updates my blog after dinner. I can curl up like the above ......
Or I can stretch out and still be comfortable like this. I think this pose shows what a big and handsome mancat I am. Even if I did squint coz of the flash.

Oh, as you can see on the side bar I have a button for the animal rescue site. just click on the button and you will go to their site where you can give food, at no cost to you, to kitties, woofies, bunnies and others. They are some good people helping animals waiting to go to their forever home.
You can get a button for your site here.

I was at the San Francisco SPCA for a few days before I came home, so I really want to give back for all the kindness they showed to me when I was just a baby kitten. I hope you will click on my button and help.

Saturday Night Dinner

2008-01-26T18:41:00.000-08:00

Boy, oh boy, was dinner ever good tonight!!

This is what I had T-U-N-A!!!
There is nothing better than Tuna.
I loves me my Tuna.
Nom-nom-nom-nom! I am the happiest kitty ever.

This is what mine mombean had.
Super yummy Chicken Thighs Braised in White Wine from Millie's Mom's Cooks With Love site. It has her favorite things, Chicken, Wine, Lemon & Garlic.

She was making all these happy sounds while she was eating. The recipe calls for 2 chicken thighs per serving, but that is too much food for mine mombean coz she likes to fill up on veggies. So, on the left is just 1 with a spoonful of the yummy sauce over it. She didn't have any flat leaf parsley, but it was just great. Next time she makes it -- and there will be a next time, and soon -- she'll remember to pick up some parsley.

Oh, the side dishes ... There is brown rice & lentils at the (top of the plate). This a mombean specialty. Its 2 parts brown rice and 1 part lentils. Cook just as you would any rice, that is twice as much water (or stock) as dry. So, 1 cup of rice and lentils cooks with 2 cups liquid. Yummy.
And then there is the steamed broccoli. I know this is the part that will make my good pal Roxy jealous!

So now with full and happy tummies we are gonna go watch a movie.
Thanks you, thank you Millie's Mom for sharing such a great recipe.

Nickname Meme

2008-01-26T12:01:00.000-08:00

Here are the rules for the Nicknames Meme:
Post a link to the kitty who tagged you, and post the rules on your blog. List your real name, how you got your real name, nicknames you like/tolerate, and nicknames you wish your humans would stop calling you. Tag several kitties, and write a comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

Ok, ok. I'll wake up and post my answer.

My good pal (and twin from a different mamacat), Ping and his sister Boo tagged me.
I wrote a long post about how I got my name before so you can go read that. Really, its great story -- if I do say so myself, and I just did!

Now, lets see nick names .... Humm ...... The names I like:

I get called Sweet Potato and Sweet Potato Pie, Sweet Pea, do you see a theme here?

And I get called Boo or Beezie Boo. This is because as a kitten I liked to play pounce and tag the feet. I'd hide next to a chair or something and jump or pounce on a foot (preferably bare) and tag the foot then run away. Mine mombean would say "Boo!" and jump a little. It was a really fun game that we both really liked. I don't do anymore now that I'm a grown up mancat, its really more a kitten's game. Now whenever I kinda sneak up, or just walk up quietly behind her she says "Boo! There you are." and I rub against her legs. Its just a little thing we do that makes us happy.

Sometimes she calls me Sweet Boy or Good Boy or Silly Boy when she hugs me and I really like that. I give her purrs and head butts in return, she really likes that.

The names I don't like:

Waddles, Belly Boy, Pudgy or just Pudg. Like she should talk!
And the name I really don't like is Damn It No!

I tag:
Ping (coz I'd really like to know where he gots his name)

And I tag Daisy. I know that she is a very sweet girl I'm sure that she has a great story.

Now, I'm going back to my nap.

My Chair

2008-01-23T19:03:00.000-08:00

This is my chair. I like sitting in my chair.
Huh?
What?
Oh, so its Your chair. Just coz its at Your desk. Where You work.

::Sigh::

Ok. OK! I'll get down.
Sheesh! I don't get no respect.

I'd like to welcome some new members to the cat blogosphere,
Wrigley and Cobalt and Lyra and Caesar
They are 4 of the cutest lil Tuxie kittens ever! It is gonna be a lot of fun watching them grow up. They may live in two different homes, in two different countries but they look like they could be from the same family. The Tuxedo Gang is really gonna be busy this winter with these kittens!
If you haven't already stop by, say 'HI' and tell 'em Beezer sent ya ;)

ManCat Monday

2008-01-20T21:10:00.000-08:00

For Caesar a good mancat.

Boy, I'm glad that its Monday!

I had a really craptacular Sunday. And Its all Millie's mombean's fault!!
See, she posted about how clean her house was, the TV room, the bathroom, the kitchen.... Well, mine mombean saw that and said, "This place could use a little cleaning too!"

So, she started by making a big pot of veggie stew to eat this week. Then, while that was slowly cookin' on the stove, she started cleaning. The bathroom tub, the bean litterbox, the sink, the floor... now it all smells funny. "Mmmmm piney-woods fresh!", she says.
Ick, I says.

Then she started dusting. Its a good thing I don't have any allergies coz she kicked up a right proper dust storm! I can't remember when she did this last, I don't think she can remember either. She looked at the windows and the venetian blinds and said "Hummm .... these need to come down and dumped into the tub for a real cleaning." Good for me, she really hates this job and puts it off as long as she can.

Then, she did my litter box ... more of that piney stink. At least she washed it all out and put in my scent free litter. I mean no real mancat wants ta go where it smells like the parfum counter at Macy's! No, a real mancat wants ta leave his own smell.
Am I right guys?
So then the old litter and all the trash had to be collected, the recycling too, and taken to the trash place. I thought she might be done, but Noooooo!

The rug sucking monster came out!! She was moving chairs and tables, the Futon, runnin' that thing all over and puttin' stuff back. she even dragged it into the bathroom (where I was hiding till she was done) and ran all over the rug in there, and she even did my bed. She even picked up a bunch of my toys and put them away in the closet!! She said I don't play with them all, and she's tired of picking them up so she can run the rug monster. Really! How rude!

Finally, she was done. She put the Stew in a bowl and into the 'fridge.
"I'm sorry Beez, I know how much you hate it when I clean. Would a little nip on your new bed make you feel a little better?"
What can I say, I caved. I sniffed and chewed on the nip she sprinkled on my bed and I even curled up for a snooze. Its the first time I've napped here! (Well, not counting the one time she spotted me here in the middle of the night when she got up to use her litter box.) I was just too worn out by all her cleaning to move. Cleaning is hard work. What a way to spend a Sunday.

I'm glad its Monday and I can have some peace and quiet.

Award Thanks

2008-01-20T11:17:00.000-08:00

Here I am checking my home-grown kitty-grass. I love the stuff! I had mine mombean move it to the living room window so it will get a lot of sun and grow quickly so I can chew it all up. (Don't worry, I have more seeds so I can plant more!)

Now, I gotta tell ya mine mombean has been very, very, lazy. I've had a talk with her and she has promised to try to be better about helping me post. Just once a week is not enough, coz there is a lot of stuff going on and I wanna be apart of it all.

And also, I wants ta thank Chance & Ernie for this wonderful award:
It says "You Make My Day Award" It is very special and it really makes me feeel good to know that I have made someone happy with my blog! That's the whole point about blogging to have your say and connect with other Kitties and their Beans. Thank you, thank you Chance & Ernie!!
I would like to pass it on to Baby Mao. His bro-furr Yao-Lin sez he smells of poo, but I doesn't gotta smell him, so I think he's a fine Meezer who just wants ta have fun. And who doen't wanna have fun?

Maobert & Annie Come Home

2008-01-11T19:10:00.000-08:00

Mao please come home we all miss you!
Annie, your family misses you too!
(Click on a picture for all the updates)

I'm So Mad!

2008-01-10T17:22:00.001-08:00

I'm so mad I could hiss and spit!!

My good pals Bonnie Underfoot and Victor Tabbycat alerted me to the website owned by Purina that linked to my very own bloggy, this one here, the one you are reading.

Purina did not ask me, and I did not approve this use!

I do not endorse any Purina products.

I don't, and have never, eaten any Purina food. They use gluten and by-products. That stuff is icky!
I eat only the best premium, holistic food my mom can feed me. I take what I eat very seriously.
(if you want to know which brand put a note in the comments and I'll let you know)

This blog is just for fun and not for any commercial use of any kind.

I think it is very, very, rude of them to use/link to my blog on a commercial website without asking! Mine mombean called them and told them that their use was without permission and that they should remove the link immediately.

Oh, my blogoshphere friends can link to me on their bloggies, just as we have always done, to keep up with our friends and meet new friends, for personal use. We are just having fun! We are kitties not corporations trying to make a buck.

I may from time mention some toy, treat, or food that I especially enjoy; just as any kitty or bean might want to tell a friend about something they especially like. But, its only as friend to friend to tell you what I like and never for compensation or commercial use.

The cat blogosphere has always been, for me, about friends and fun and the love of good kitties and their beans, and helping other kitties too.

OK, I think I feel a little better now.
Sorry for the long rant. I'll post my 7 weird things meme tomorrow.

Is that NIP....

2008-01-05T20:33:00.000-08:00

On my new bed???
Mmmmmmmmmm....
Stretch and reach to get all the goodness!Ahhhhhh...... that's the good stuff.

And relax.

I still haven't napped on it yet. But I'm really diggin' the whole put some nip on it part.

Oh, and I really want to say an extra thanks to my good pals Daisy and Pixie, my Secret Paws, for the Cat Dancer toy. I haven't enjoyed a new toy as much in a long time. I even drag it over to mine mombean to get her to play it with me. I really go after it and it gets my heart poundin'! Mombean hasn't figured out how to take pictures of me chasin' it and playing with me at the same time, but I'll get her to work on it.

Happy New Year

2008-01-01T18:49:00.001-08:00

As you can see my new bed is big enough to accommodate the big mancat I am!

The only problem is I don't seem to like it. This is only the second time mine mombean has seen me laying on it.. Oh, I go up to it and make biscuits on it but I won't curl up, or stretch out and have a real nap on it.

Maybe I'm more of a cuddle cup kinda guy. I'm not sayin' and mombean is bummed coz she thought that it would be a great present for me.

Anyone know why I don't seem to like my new bed?
She talkin' about taking up my old bed and hiding it in the closet so the only bed I have is my new one. (But save the old in case I really don't take to the new bed)

I Gets Presents!!

2007-12-25T10:58:00.001-08:00

I was a very good boy this year!!!
Look at all the loot I got.

Yeah, that's right a new bed!!
I really needed one. Above you can see me checkin' it out by making biscuits on it. I've been way too excited to actually nap on it yet. Plus, I'm a little confused coz my old bed is in the study next to the trash. What can that mean??
And look at all these fine vittles & treats. I really liked the Cat Dancer that my Secret Paws Pals Daisy And Pixie sent me so mombean got me another in case it gets lost or somethin'. She says she hasn't seen me move so fast after a toy in years. I guess that's true. I also have started to go up to her and ask her to play with me.

My dinner tonight will be:Yup, Bora Bora Luau. That's Sardine cutlets in Lobster Consommé! I can hardly wait.
And lookee what I gots the mombean! The new Blogosphere Calendar. I think she might have been tipped off coz she had to go to the post office to pick up the package, but she acted all surprised and really happy!

Well, I gotta go .... somthin' about its time for a egg-nog latte.

I hope Sandy-paws was as got to all of you as he was to me!!

Merry Chris-Mouse

2007-12-24T09:19:00.000-08:00

To all

And to all a good night!

Come on, ya wanna play with my pom-pom don't cha?

Oh, and the mistletoe is for a special lil' Squirt.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

2007-12-23T11:10:00.000-08:00

Its been a bit cold in San Francisco the past few days, so I'm especially enjoying the sun this morning.

The mombean has some laundry to do and then she's gonna do a little cooking so the kitchen should start to have great smells.

Rest up all my Kitty pals, ya don't want to fall asleep and miss Santy Paws.

Mail Call

2007-12-13T19:16:00.000-08:00

Mombean came home tonight with mail just for me!

Its a Cat-mouse card from my pals in Florida Manx Mnews
Also known as Abby, Boo, Jinx, Grace and my look-a-like Ping!

Reading their special message just for me!

Oh, yeah, I can sniff 'em.

Thanks guys and gals. You are great friends and really know how to show the Holiday Spirit.

Secret Paws

2007-12-10T19:15:00.000-08:00

It was just a regular, quiet day. I was munching on some fresh kitty grass, fiber is important you know. When the door buzzer went "Bzzzzzzz!" well, I wasn't expecting anything, at least nothing that I had ordered.

What could this be? Oh, wait it says "Secret Paws" on it !!
Now I really *was* excited. Who was it from? What are the goodies inside?

Hey look!! Its from Daisy and Pixie! Two of the blog-o-spheres sweetest sisters. Daisy is especially known for her daring circus feats, and Pixie for her love of bananers. I think I can smell them both! Yes, they would work together to create a perfect Secret Paws package.

What could be in here???

Look at all these wonderful goodies! There are toys that roll, toys that are spring-boingy, toys with feathers -- even marabou, Oooo how I love marabou, attached to a bouncy ball. Not to mention yummy treats.

And .... a new Cat Dancer. I have been meaning to get more exercise, this will make it fun.

This is a especially cute yellow mouse. Its soft and sparkled. I'm such a sucker for soft and sparkled.

Mmmmmm did I mention treats???
My first taste of 'Kitty Kissers' sardine yummers....... It won't be my last!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

Daisy and Pixie you are such generous and fun Secret Paws pals. I am so happy that you are my friends.

I hope that you have the best of Holidays and a happy, health New Year.

Purrs & Purrs & Purrs.

Toastie Tuesday

2007-12-03T18:32:00.000-08:00

This picture was supposed to be for Mancat Monday, but mine mombean was busy doing work for a meeting for a new jobbie but it got postponed to Wednesday (I's keepin' my paws crossed for her!) so I couldn't post it on time.

So I decided to make a new day for all the kitties who live in snowy regions.
Like my sweet girl Precious Flower, the sweet Miss Peach and the snow bound Millie. Oh, and my dawg pals Roxy & Lucky. I'm calling it "Toasty Tuesday" its to show how we kitties are heat seeking snugglers.

If you check my Gottcha day post below you will see that my perch on the back of the futon has been a favorite of mine since I was a little kitten.

I hope every kitty and their beans are keeping warm!

Dear Santy Paws

2007-11-29T18:53:00.000-08:00

Dear Santy Paws,

I have been a very good boy all year. I mean I hardly did anything that got the mombean upset. I snuggle with her every evening for lap time, I give her losts of purrs and love eyes (which she really likes).

This year I'd really like to have a new bed that is big enough for a king-sized mancat like me. As you can see my bed is too small for me when I want to stretch out for a nap.
Oh, and some treats would be nice. I love temptations of all flavors, and seafood bestest of all. The soft chewy kind like Pounce are good too!
And some stinky goodness would be nice.
Maybe a few rolly balls, and soft pouncey toys, and some jumpy toys if you have a little extra room.

And for the mombean ... she has a list I'm sure she'll be sending along but a zip up sweater that doesn't show my ginger furs would be a good start!

Your Pal,
Beezer

Now This is Funny!

2007-11-27T09:07:00.000-08:00

You Are Blitzen

Always in good spirits, you're the reindeer who loves to party down with Santa.

Why You're Naughty: You're always blitzed on Christmas Eve, while flying!

Why You're Nice: You mix up a mean eggnog martini.

Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?

Yeah, that's me a par-tay kinda guy!

Cookies

2007-11-25T15:20:00.000-08:00

My mombean has been so inspired by Millie's mombean and the great cooking stuff that she does that she decided that she wanted to make something too. So, when she saw the cookies that she made she wanted to copy her. On Millie's mombean's blog Cooks With Love She posted a recipe for White Chocolate Chip Cookies with Cranberries and Peanuts.

Of course mine had to do her own thing so she made Oatmeal, Dark Chocolate Chip with Cranberries. (no nuts coz she sez nuts upset her tummy) I'll turn over the blog to mombean.

Oatmeal is good for you, dark chocolate is good for you, and cranberries are good for you.
So this is like a health food right?

I like chewie bar style cookies so I put the whole batch in to a square Brownie pan and will cut up after baking. Its easier to bake too.

Here they are all mixed up and ready to go into the oven. (the white stuff around the edge is just the bakers style pam I sprayed into the pan. Its got oil and flour mix together for point and shoot ease.)
Just out of the oven .... Mmmmm Smells so good!
After cooling, I cut into serving size chunks. See all the good Cranberries and dark chocolate chips?
All but 3 of the cookie bars are packaged up and ready for the freezer. Once a week or so I'll put a treat into the lunch I pack to take with me to work. Also, if they are frozen I won't scarf them all down when I'm plopped in front of the TV. I had to eat one right away -- for quality control (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!) and The other 2... well one will be for my lunch and 1 for TV time tonight.

Psssssttt! Psssst!! Wanna know a seceret?She used a package mix!! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Yeah, she's great baker alright.

Hey, Beezer!! That's not nice. I was gonna tell. Besides we have such a small kitchen that if I were to buy and store all the things to make cookies from scratch and have all the gear like a big stand mixer there wouldn't be any room for Temptations or cans of stinky goodness.

HUH? WHAT??? *MY* TEMPTATIONS!?!?!
Well, you did steal the idea about adding the cranberries. I - I mean thought up, yeah, that's it, thought up the idea about adding the cranberries. Now, that, my loving mombean, was genius!

Gottcha Day!!

2007-11-20T18:20:00.000-08:00

(I'm chillin' on the Futon watchin' the sunbeam move away this morning.)

It the best day of the year!!
Its my 8th Gottcha Day!

Eight years ago I came to my forever home on the day before Thanksgiving. We always celebrate the day rather than the actual date (November 25) because I'm really thankful for another year together.

You can see what I wrote last year for my Gottcha Story.
This year she spruced up the bloggie a bit, do you like it? She needs to do a bit more, but sez she doesn't have a lot of time. Besides we rather be visiting our friends.

Below are a few pics from when I was little.
(We didn't have a digital camera way back then so these are snaps from the cranky old film camera. Sorry they are a little blurry, its kinda hard takin' a picture of a photo)Awwww.... I was a sleepy little shaver. At just 2 pounds and 9 weeks old here.

Peek-a-boo!! I discovered I could climb up the back of the Futon.

And then I discovered the bathroom sink!
I was a very active little guy, huh?

This time of year we always send a contribution to the San Francisco SPCA (where I came from) to help all the kittens, cats, puppies and dawgs find their forever home just like I did. The SF-SPCA will do a Holiday Windows adoption this year. I'll have the mombean take some picture and post them in the comming weeks.

Mancat Monday - Happy Guy

2007-11-18T18:42:00.000-08:00

I should be thinking of what I should do for my gotcha day post coming up on Wednesday. But, it is so warm here on top of the computer and my most favorite person is here, so I think I'll just rest my eyes and purr and purr for all the kitties that need a little extra love today.

Where did that come from?

2007-11-15T17:29:00.000-08:00

I'm a spoiled guy.

I've got lots and lots and lots of toys. Way too many to have out at any one time, so mine mombean puts a few out for me and the rest are put away so I forget about them and get surprised when I see them again. Here are the ones I currently have available.

I like to keep them all over the place, but she picks them up and puts them around my scratchy post. She says its so no one will trip over them and get hurt. Instead she arranges them so I can see what I'd like.

Eh. I wasn't really in the mood for any of them.

So I went to my secret place, (no one knows where it is, and I ain't tellin') and I brought out this ball that is really like a bunch of rubber bands all wrapped around a jingle bell. It was sent to me by my pals Eric and Flynn a long time ago.

Here's a close up ------>

Boy, was the mombean surprised!
"Wha'!!" She said.
"Where has that been? I forgot all about that toy."

So, I've been batting it around and putting the bitey on it and carrying it around. Every time I do I hear, "I have no idea where you hid that, but you really are giving it a work out now."

He-he-he! I gots ta keep her guessing.

Now if I could just get her out of the desk chair when I want to nap there...
*Sigh* a mancat's work is never done, but keepin' her guessin' is a start.

Road Trip Tour Of San Francisco

2007-10-30T11:23:00.000-07:00

Oh, there is so much to see and do in San Francisco. I hardly know where to start.
Well, the big red double decker bus rolled up to my place early this morning and out tumbled the nicest two pug s, Lucky and Roxy, that you could ever want to meet, and the finest kitties. There were so many I could hardly keep up with all the names! Poor Dragonheart looked a bit confused, this is his first trip to the states and it really has been a busy one. "Howdy!" I said to all, "its nice to meet you in person. My apartment is really too small for all of us to fit so we can go around the corner for some breakfast." We met up with the rest of The California kitties (and buns) I've invited, Kimo and Sabi, Skittles, Sophia & Fiona & Orlando, Grr,Midnight & Cocoa, the whole gang had some breakfast at the coffee shop around the corner from my house.

After Breakfast I asked Skittles to lead us all in some Yoga to stretch out all those muscles that may have gotten a little cramped from the travels. We went to a beautiful lawn area in Golden Gate Park:We should have plenty of room to stretch and roll around here. I think Skittles called this a reverse MontyQ. It was a lot of fun. She has a whole special routine for us. You can see it at her bloggie.

Then we were off to sight-see....

First stop, the Golden Gate Bridge!
"Hey Millie! Move outta the way, you're blocking the view"!!

On the other side of the bridge is the Pacific Ocean. and since that is what everyone really wanted to see we went to Ocean Beach.Everyone seemed to really like the beach.
"No, Daisy, we don't have any lizards or 'gators either!"
Dragonheart liked the warm sand and sun. That was good 'coz the breeze can get a little cold here.
Lucky was the silliest, she would run up to meet a incoming wave and then run back when her paws started to get wet from the cold ocean water. She must have run back and forth a dozen times. Barking all the while.
Roxy and I were Laughin' and laughin'!
Then we all sat and watched the kites flying high and then dipping down almost to the sand, just to fly up again. We wanted to try to catch the fun streamers from hanging from the bottom of the kite but it was way to fast for us.

The cold breeze was starting to make Dragonheart chilly, so we left the beach to head to Fisherman's Wharf.
We paused high atop Telegraph hill to take in this spectacular view.
That's Alcatraz Island on the left and Coit Tower on the right.

Then we hopped on a Cable Car to finish our trip to Fisherman's Wharf.

Hey, is that me? Or my pal Ping?

Yup that's Ping! Everyone was gettin' us mixed up all day. We both ended up just answering to 'Ping-zer'. LOL!!!

Finally we were there. There are so many things to do and see here its easy to get lost.

Fishing boats in the harbor ....

Lots of tourists ......

But to me it means.....

Crab!
Lip smackin,
Whisker lickin'
CRAB!!

Fresh from the cooker, all hot and juicy, full of great seafood flavor!!

Here's MonteQ and Mickey waitin' for seconds!

"Hey, Don't eat too much. I have a special dinner planned for us."

Millie, Lucky and Roxy perked up their ears. They had a taste of crab, but I know its not really their thing.

We all hopped back on the Cable Car for a trip up the hill to the only resturant that I knew would make Millie the happiest kitty in all the world... Yep, The House of Prime Rib. They serve only Roast BEEF!!
Big juicy slabs of the stuff like this:

They rolled in this big cart and we each got to choose just exactly how we like it done rare, medium or well done.

We all chose the biggest cut the King Henry VIII Cut. Its like way over a whole pound and a half of BEEF!

Millie, Lucky and Roxy and Luxor just chowed down! I don't even think Roxy noticed that they don't have broccoli.
I tell ya those gals from New Hampshire can really pack it away. And skinny Lux, who knew?

But best of all, after the plates were licked clean, and all the good bones were wrapped to save for the bus, the waiters came around again and asked if any one would like seconds, on the house!!
Dragonheart chirped up first and said "Ja, Bitte, Danke" in loud voice that made everyone laugh. I was impressed, seconds on roast beef after all the crab he had eaten .... Well, I hoped he wouldn't get a tummy ache.

After all the plates were finally cleared, and we all were fuller than we had ever been in our lives, I suggested that we all go to a karaoke bar near by so that MonteQ could sing some of his favorite songs for us all. He was all excited and started to warm up but everybody just groaned and I guess they were too full coz they said they needed a nap. Poor guy looked a little dejected so I told him we could do it next time.

We went outside and the big red bus was waiting for us. Tomorrow I think we are going north to Petaluma where Kimo and Sabi live and to Napa to see where Sophia lives.

But right now I just want a soft pillow and a warm blankie so I can curl up and have a looong nap.

Respectfully submitted,
Beezer

Dear Miss Peach

2007-10-27T12:43:00.001-07:00

(Thanks to Adan)

(Thanks to Monty)

We all want to join together to send get well wishes and lots of love to Miss Peach and her family.
Here are the rules for the Cherish meme, as written by Adan:

Hey, everyone, this time, I decide to start this cherish meme, here are some ways (depends on which person you write), and bring our love to Miss Peach~! She always makes us know what love is!

1. Tell us what is the most sweetest warm thing you will do to your mommy (what is the sweetest thing that your kitty will do to you)

2. And, hug your mommy, tightly... (and, hug your kitty....tightly...)

3. Tag your good friend...

4. Leave your computer, and continuing hug each other..

Every night I sit in my mombean's lap and snuggle with her. I purr and purr. To show her how much I love her I lean my head back and give her the love eyes with lots of love blinks. I know how happy this makes her because she tells me in her special voice that I'm her special boy and that she loves me. She gives me my favorite chin rub that starts from the tip of my jaw and goes down my neck all the way to my chest. I can't begin to tell you how much I love this special rub. After a while I fall asleep, the happiest kitty in all the world.

I know that Miss Peach is happy to be with her beans and knows that she is loved.

Bug Out Practice

2007-10-24T18:54:00.000-07:00

With all the 'mergancies going on in Southern Califorina I decided it was time to have a practice for what the mombean hasta do if there is a 'mergancy.
But first here is what I do. I gets in the escape pod. It has a nice fleece blankie in it so I'm comfortable.

Then the mombean gets the supplies. She has extra stinky goodness cans and a bag of litter in the closet that she can grab fast so we can go. I hope that she'll remember my Gizzy quilt, but it is on the chair that she'll see on the way out so I think she'll remember.

I'm givin' her the laser eyes

2007-10-16T19:08:00.000-07:00

I'm layin' here givin' mine mombean the laser - evil eye.
For a couple of reasons, first my dinner was small. I mean, I could eat twice as much, I'm a big boy! Second, she's sitting in the desk chair. See, I like to nap after dinner in the desk chair. And now she's sitting in it. I can yell my head off and she won't move. I can jump on the desk and put my paws up on her shoulder, oh, sure she'll scoop me up and give me a hug, but she'll put back on the floor.

*Sigh*

At least this picture of me is a little more flattering than the ones she usually takes of me. I think stretched out like this is sliming. Well, it looks like she might be about done. And that means its time for lap sit!

Shhhh .... Its naptime.

Desktop Meme

2007-10-08T16:03:00.000-07:00

I have been tagged by my sweet girl Precious for the desktop Meme. So here it is:Its a picture, well really a composite of a few pics, is taken from the Hubble Telescope called NGC 7293: The Helix Nebula. Its some times referred to as the 'Eye of God' or 'God's Eye' nebula. It reminds mine mombean of a Sci-Fi book she really liked called The Mote in Gods Eye .
Mine mombean is a bit of a geek, can ya tell?

She likes to have her desktop kinda clean, and all of the stuff that she needs to access fast is kinda hidden in folders in the folders across the top. She likes to have things across the top rather than along the left edge 'cos that makes her feel lop-sided and leaning over. One of the folders is a e-book she is reading called "The Authoritarians" and its a Social Psychology book. The Radio Lab file are podcasts from a PBS radio station in New York. Like I said, a geek.

Here are the rules for the meme:

Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop.It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun.Here’s how you can do a screen capture:

1.Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key). note: On a laptop you use the Fn + prt sc keys then paste it into a graphics program.

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it.

3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

I think everyone has been tagged for this, so if you haven't joined in this is your tag!

Jasmine

2007-10-05T16:01:00.000-07:00

Princess Jasmine

Rest at the Bridge

I've always liked this picture of her, on her Gizzy Quilt that her Mombean made especially for her. Its a little bigger than the rest, as befits a Princess.

Mine mombean and I never met her in person, but we could tell she was a good cat. Sometimes sweet like when she sat on the Mom's lap, sometimes hissygrouchy when there was something she didn't like. Always loved by her family. That is a good life for any good cat.

You can go a leave a message for her family, Millie and Mom at Millie's blog.

We are sending you our very best purrs on your way, and for your Mom & Millie who will miss you very much

We will miss you and meet you and Gizzy again at the Bridge.

I'm Starving!!

2007-10-03T18:19:00.001-07:00

This is my placemat where I have my meals. Take a close look at the little dish. That is where my food is supposed to go. Look close ... closer ...
Its empty!
Not a single crunchy kibble.
Not a morsel of stinky goodness.
Zip. Zilch. Nadda. Null Set. None. Bupkiss.

I've been so hungry I've been eating grass.

I'm so hungry I feel faint. I have no energy to even visit my friends on the web or work on my blog. I may just die of hunger!
Someone call the ASPCA, PETA, or FOS or The Cat Blogosphere.

Beezer! What are you talking about? You've just been cut back a little. You need to slim down, its not healthy to be over weight, you are a senior cat now.

But I'm HUNGRY!!

Beezer, its for your own good.

I don't even remember when I last had a Temptation.

Well, if you are a good boy you may have 2 treats tonight. But no more! Just 2!

*Sigh*
If you don't hear from me ever again, well, you'll know what has happened.

*Sigh*
I hope I live through this. Really, I've just cut him back a little.

Out of the Dog-house

2007-09-25T17:38:00.001-07:00

Thanks for all the support and good comments! You Puddins are the besterest friends a mancat could have.

I was a a little a-scared of the dog house after Roxy said it was outside. I've never really been outside. Just in the evil PTU to go to the v*t.

But I gave mine mombean the Love-eyes (pat.pend.) and put my front paws up on her shoulder and she started to laugh, swept me up in her arms and held me and kissed and hugged me like she always does.
"OK. You're forgiven," she said. "I can't stay mad at you. But, you really should be better about things."
HA! Like that's gonna happen!

A mancat's gotta do, want a mancat gottsta do! And that means 'vestigating everything to make sure that I know everything 'bout everything.

Roxy, maybe that'll work for you. You can borrow my Love-eyes (pat.pend.) if ya wanna.
You too Monty.

In the dog-house

2007-09-23T10:39:00.000-07:00

This morning mine mombean left her coffee cup, with a little coffee still in it, on the table when she went to take her shower. She usually puts it up on the bookshelf. Where I can't get at it.

Well, as any self respecting kitty will tell you, we just *have* to know everything, and if we don't know what something is we *have* to go 'vestigating. I just wanted to know what was in there. So I knocked it over to get a good sniff, and it fell to the floor.

I guess she heard the sound and she yelled "Beezer!!". She jumped out of the shower, with some gunk in her hair, and all drippy and came running.
She saw the spilled coffee and said, in her very angry voice "What did you do? WHAT! Did you do??" Like she couldn't just see. She hadda get a sponge and wipe up most of it right then. Then she went and finished her shower. After she got out for the second and final time she got the sponge and wiped everything again.

She then told me I'm in the dog-house. I'm not sure what that means. I wonder if my friend Roxy 'The Devil Dog' knows what that means. She says I should hang my head in shame. So, that's what I'm doin'.

She says that I know better.
But, its not like I haven't done the same thing lots of times before.
Pppppffffttttt!
It wasn't really my fault, was it?

Talk Like A Pirate!

2007-09-18T18:28:00.000-07:00

Arrrggggg, me hearties!!

Tis talk like a Pirate day. If any of you lilly-livered scally-wags refuse to talk like a Pirate you'll be walking the bubble wrap and I'll be burnin' yer feet with my laser eyes till all that's left is fit for the chum bucket.

He-he-he-he-he!

You Scream, I Scream,

2007-09-17T17:40:00.000-07:00

We all scream for Ice Cream!!

You Are Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

You're the coolest cat around, but too laid back to let it get to your head

What Flavor Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Are You?

This makes sense. Jerry Garcia lived San Francisco; I live in San Francisco. He was a famous musician; mombean tells me I sing for my supper. Now if I just liked ice cream..... I'd really rather have a tuna-tini!!
