A lazy morning

Wow it has been awhile since my last blog. Mom is halfway through harvest now and Dad is busy at the office. I will be glad when things get back to normal.

I was going to pounce on Ellie as she was dreaming of flying after reading all of dad's plane magazines but mom said to be good......

So I went on over and told some jokes with my gal pals Gertie and Emmielou. At least they know how to appreciate a good joke.....unlike some people in this family....

Mom says I need to sit back farther from the TV. This is one of my favorites where Cruise gets Nicholson to spill the beans "The truth!? You can't handle the truth!"

Jumped on the scale this morning and I am almost 13 pounds. Mom says I need to eat more as I am soooooo picky. But I do like watermelon and horseradish go figure!

I met my Aunt this weekend and I ran up to her and wanted attention. I don't know any strangers yet. Everyone has been wonderful. I can't wait until my Grandma and Grandpa get here!

Off to play on the new bed. Mom broke down and got us a king size. Now there is room for us all!

Mankala and Jason

Mankala is being fussy this morning. I want her to play with me and she runs to Jason to be held.

Adrianne says it's because I'm too big and don't know how to play gently yet. Duh! Has she seen my feet??? I couldn't play gently even if I wanted to--

But I really, really love Mankala. She's my favorite companion, after Adrianne, of course. I'm pretty sure Adrianne told me that Mankala is their first Savannah (that's why she's Jason's favorite...), but Mankala never had kittens, so now she's retired and tells the rest of us what to do.

Everyone else listens to her; I just flop down with my front feet across her and she can't move. Makes her really mad if I don't let her up. Jason leaves Mankala's claws a bit longer than mine and when she's had enough, she rolls over on her back and kicks me on the top of my head til I let her go.

For some reason, it always makes Adrianne laugh.

Something about the look on my face...

JoJo

Mom fixed my Koala Bear basket so I can't smash it any more.

I just act like that Abi cat isn't even around. I'm wearing her down more and more every day.

Perfecting my jumping skills.

Welcome AJS Family

I love viewing and reading about this beautiful breed of cats - thanks to everyone for sharing!


Aja ( High Priestess of Mecca ) is very high energy and rarely naps during the day. She follows me around the house and tries to help me with everything. One of her favorite things to do recently is walk on the treadmill. She will go up to 20 minutes. Aja loves it but Shombay wants nothing to do with it.

Shombay ( He who walks like a lion) prefers to save his energy for shredding the newspaper and picking on his sister.

And of course they both love the tunnels and cubes.

I can't wait to see more blogs and do some more bragging.

Taking a break

Wow! Who knew waxing Mom's muscle cars was such hard work! I think next time we will just watch. She thinks she might get to go to a show yet this summer. It would be the first one for the Mach 1 since she got the 428 CJ put back in it.

Well she can always hope she gets the time since it looks like dad will be going off to fight fires.

It has been so hot here that Ellie and I are going to get comfortable and chill for awhile. I know it looks like we find that easy but it just isn't the case. We take hours finding the perfect positions to make mom feel guilty if she moves and disturbs us like she did just prior by trimming our nails while we were sleeping. You can see that it totally fried us and we can't relax.

Mom also loves it when Ellie sleeps in this position since she tends to be a little flatulent at times. Teeeeheeeee!

Here is a picture of my family. Tater(left), Ellie (back) and me.
We all love our S-curve scratchers and take turns using them.

I have been teething for the last week and driving mom nutso. I will sure be glad when this is over and so will she. I think it may be awhile though.....

Glad to see all my kin sending in photos and updates. I sure enjoy it all. Although I envy some of the toys I see like JoJo's truck. Wow could I have some fun with that!

And then there is Harvey who continues to put a frown on Adrianne. NOT! Good job Harvey.

P.S. Happy birthday from all of us too!
