Finally Settling In

Kavan here.....when we woke up a week ago Wednesday, I discovered we were at the mountain house! HOW DID WE GET HERE???? I don't even remember....Tara kept saying something about aliens, green machines, and sleeping snuggled to the litter box, but I think she was hallucinating. It didn't matter, we were at the mountain house! But I just started to explore when the ALIENS CAME BACK! In that great big humongous space ship that took all of our stuff from our valley house! And then, Tara and I got imprisoned in the room above the garage. I tried and tried to break us out, but Dad somehow locked us in. But there was a great window where we could watch the aliens from down on the street. And you know what they were doing? They were bringing our stuff back! They must have been scared that me and Tara were going to go after them and give them the claws of death.

By afternoon, we were surrounded by all of our stuff, and all these boxes. And then the best part, Mom and Dad started opening them! Soon, there was all this cool, crinkly paper and empty boxes. It was so much fun! Mom kept yelling at me to get out of the way, but I didn't listen, there was just way too much cool stuff. By the end of the night, the mountain house started to feel like home. Both Tara and I slept in the bedroom with Mom and Dad and took turns on the bed. It was great.

What a long strange trip its been!

Wow, man, I must admit, a week ago yesterday (Tuesday) is like a psychedelic dream (er..nightmare). I vaguely remember Kavan and I waking up with Mom and Dad in a very bare bedroom with a strange mattress on the floor. We went downstairs, got some food, and then the door bell rang. THE ALIENS WERE BACK! I ran up to one, and sniffed his hand, and was going to protect us, but Mom imprisoned us again in the bedroom with the strange bed. Forever went by until we got let out. The aliens had taken all of our remaining stuff! But Mom and Dad seemed pretty calm, so we just chilled out.

Then it happened. I was grabbed by Mom, and the scruff of my neck pulled back, and Dad shoved this little pink pill down my throat! It happened so fast, I couldn't warn Kavan, who again was clueless. They got him next. Good thing they did me first, had I seen them doing that to Kavan, I would have been in the next county.

Then things were back to noooorrrrmalll.... hm....what is that spot on the wall, a bug? oooowwwww...the wall is moving...I can't quite walk... my legs keep crossing each other... Kavan? Kavan? You look a little funnnnyyy.... maybe I'll sit in the corner for a while.... wow...the corner is moving....what, what, we are going in the green machine...noo..no.... ah... hm....wow, look at those colors going by. Kavan, where are you, why are you snuggled against the litter box in the back seat? Are you snooring? Mom, where is your lap? Can I get in it, even if you are driving?

Oh, wow, the world is speeding by. Yes Kavan, you can share the seat with me...hmmm.... I'm getting sleepy, but I don't want to sleep... what a trip, those colors... sleepy...z....zzzzz

Where are we? All of a sudden, we were at the mountain home! I was so happy to get out of the green machine. So was Kavan! And I'm proud to say no major yaking or pooting in the green machine. We had been starved all day, and finally got some food. We all snuggled together in our mountain house bed went to sleep....what a trip!

Stay tuned. Final installment on Friday, Mom starts her new job today (Wednesday), so wont' be able to post again until Thursday night.

Tired Tuesday

A week ago today, we said good bye to our backyard, and headed to the mountain house! It actually all started a week ago yesterday. We got up as usual, only Mom wouldn't take us outside. This did not make us happy. Then, she shoved us in the PTUs! This really didn't make us happy. But both of us were very good in the car, and didn't yell or cry or anything. Mom was very proud. And then, when she stopped, she took us into the V-E-T! There were woofies and strange smells all over while we were waiting. But once in the room where they stick you, Mom took us out of the PTUs, and again, we were very good for the vet tech. We each let her take us way and weigh us. I'm 12 lbs! And Kavan is 14.2 lbs! Then, she sticked us with needles, which was OK. But when she tried to stick the temperature thing into Kavan's you know what, he would have nothing of it. So she stopped. She didn't dare try that to me.

We were again good on the way home, but when we got home, in front of the house was this humongous machine! It was huge! It must have been from outerspace, as there was this ramp thing coming out of our front door, and aliens stealing all of our stuff! Mom took us directly to the back yard, which was quiet and we liked. But I got hungry, and asked to be let in. Mom opened the slidy glass door, and there was this horrible shrieking ripping sound! I ran out the door into the back yard, to the side gate, and tried to jump the gate. Mom ran after me. But when I got the the top of the gate, I saw the aliens and stopped. Mom grabbed me. Kavan was clueless about what was going on inside. So Mom and Dad made a prison for us in Dad's office, which has a door to our bathroom. Kavan tried to break us out, but Dad did something to the door lever, so he couldn't. Then about halfway through the day, we were imprisoned in Mom and Dad's bedroom, which was completely empty! The aliens got all the stuff! Finally, the aliens left with all of their loot, and Mom let us out. The house was the same but different. Some of our furniture was still there, but some not. Mom and Dad slept on a funny mattress on the floor. But we were happy, the aliens were gone, and Mom an Dad were still there. So we all snuggled and went to sleep.

That was Monday night. Stay tuned, the trip gets wild!

The Move is on....and Remembering Roscoe

The packers show up today. I overheard Mom say she was taking me and Kavan to the V-E-T at about the same time they show up to make sure our shots are all in order. I'm looking for a box to hide in.....I'm not sure what is worse, strange people putting all of my cool stuff into boxes, or being forced into a PTU and going to the V-E-T! By the end of the week, we should be safely at our mountain house. I know we haven't been around much, and won't be this week either, but I made Mom promise we would fill you all in on how it all went. Wish us luck!

And amidst this chaos, we remember dear Roscoe....

Packing Worry and Awards

Things are getting pretty crazy around here. Kavan got worried Mom and Dad were going to leave him behind, so he decided to hide in a plastic bag to make sure he got packed away with everything else. Good thing his laser eyes gave him away, since the big "M" day is not for another two weeks. He would have been pretty hungry!

Even though Mom hasn't helped me visit all of my friends, my friends have been kind enough to give me two awards! I got this one from Luxor, and on his blogoversary no less!

2. Four have to be dedicated followers of your blog.
3. One has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.

Happy Meezer Monday Every Kitty!

Overwhelmed Wednesday

I am so overwhelmed! Thanks so much everyone for all the fabulous birthday wishes yesterday! And I was so touched that many of you felt bad you forgot. You didn't forget, MOM FORGOT! And she forgot to put my birthday on the Cat Blogosphere list, so how could any of you know? But you all made me feel warm and soft inside. You are the best. A few of you suggested that I should have a birthday month. Now, that is an idea!

Dad tried to make it up to me, he went and bought me this new collar. What do you think?

Here is another view..

It is a lot more shimmery and shiny than the pictures show. He keeps telling me he is going to make me a diamond collar. Now, that is one pretty great Dad, especially if he follows through.

And I can't believe I won the Girlie Q category in Monty Q's contest! Thank you all who voted for me, that was the best birthday present ever! I have no idea if it was the the Full Stretch Monty or the Sultry Princess Q that got the votes, but I am so honored, it was some pretty stiff competition!

Forgotten Birthday

I am NOT HAPPY. Mom and Dad have been so busy with this move thing, that they totally FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY! And not just for a day or two, but OVER A WEEK! It was a week ago Friday, August 22. I waited, and waited, and waited for my presents, my treats, all my birthday wishes, but they never came. Today Mom tried to make it up to me, she gave me extra Temptations. Dad felt so bad he went out to find me a diamond (rhinestone) collar fitting of a princess. But he couldn't find one. But he did find me a pretty shimmery one (I'll get him to take some pictures), and promised to make me a diamond collar. Even Kavan felt sorry for me and gave me some extra snuggles.

I felt so sorry for myself, I let him lie by me. At least Kavan wished me Happy Birthday.

Meezer Mancat Toilet Training

Dad is not too happy with me. So while Mom is sorting through stuff around the house (with Tara supervising), Dad has been fixing stuff around the house, and as the meezer mancat, I've been supervising Dad. Well, one of our human litter boxes has been leaking, so Dad decided to fix it. Well, he always keeps the lid down so I don't jump into it. Well, he had to have it up to fix the leak, and I just had to see what was in there, so I jumped. Landed up to my front armpits (leg pits?) in the water. Dad was NOT happy. He took me to the laundry room sink and gave me a BATH!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? I was not happy. Dad said it served me right. Well, Dad might not think I'm a cool cat, but Joey does! He gave this to me AGES ago, but since Mom can only seem to help us post once or twice a week these days, I finally got to post it. Thanks Joey, you are one cool dude yourself!


And the Cat Blogosphere is dedicating today to Not the Mama, for everything he does for all of us. Thanks Mo!

Closet crazy

Mom went a bit crazy in the closets this weekend. Something about getting them cleared out ahead of time. I had to supervise, and with my special red laser eyes, I could really see all the (junk) interesting stuff in there. This is best done up high. What was even better was playing in the the paper bags she kept stuffing all this (junk) cool stuff into. But then she hauled them outside, never to be seen again. I'm not sure why she can't do that to Kavan....

Stop and smell the flowers

Kavan is reminding me its time to stop and smell the flowers. Its good to remember the things and ones you love. We do love this back yard, and will be sad to leave it, but we are excited about moving to the mountain house. And we love Mom and Dad, so where ever they are is where we want to be. That is what is important. We think we might be up there by October. Its going to be a busy month or so, so we apologize in advance for not being around as much as we would like.
