My new Cozy Calming Mat!

So Santa Claws brought me this wacky coloured thing called a "Cozy Calming Mat"! Mom had not taken it out of the package yet, so she decided to take it out tonight to see if I would like it! Anyway, it's this thing that you heat up in the microwave. There are beans in it or something. I thought it was for licking! See, I'm so clever. Item + Microwave = food! But, Mom corrected me, and showed me that you're supposed to lay on it! Sooooo, I guess "item + microwave = heated paw pad"??? Welcome to 2009 I guess! MOL!

Me lapping away at my heated mat. Mmmmm... tastes like popcorn!


Mom showing me how to use it for its intended purpose... as a paw warmer!!??

Oh yes, and we must not forget my classic bunny pose! I hadn't done it in a while!

Ok Mom, you can stop laughing now!! ANY TIME!!!

First of all, I decided to "assist" Mom with some yoga positions last night. She decided to do the full bridge pose (Dhanurasana) because she's weird and likes being upside down. Anyway, I decided to crawl under her and lay there. NOT a great idea... Mom says she could have squished me if she didn't realize I was there. Good thing I moved out of the way!

Ok, so my best furiend Napoleon sent me a message today. He's on a diet right now because he weighs about 16 lbs. Mom says I "lucked out" on a fat trimming diet because my food can't be altered. (I'm already on a prescribed diet due to my tendency to form excrutiatingly painful crystals in my bladder - Feline Urological Syndrome.) ANYWAY, here is the message he sent me. Mom could not stop laughing. She's contemplating the stylish tummy tube. I REFUSE to wear such an item on my purrfect physique!!

Jan 7th and 8th...GOT BELLY FLAB???,.... After considerable research, I think you have 3 options. 1) a TUMMY TUCK by a certified cosmetic vet. Of course, your pawrents would have to sell off a car to afford this surgery. It's not covered by VIP insurance. 2) a TUMMY TUBE. Your Mom could knit you a stylish tube to slip over your head and slide down to hold up the flab. Cost less. or 3) BELLY DANCING...Here's how you do it. Stand next to your scratching post and hold on with your right paw. Bend your knees slightly, suck in that tummy...mol Shift your hip (you did find it, didn't you?) to the right, then forward, then left , then back, then repeat. Do this a few times. then REST. Tomorrow, go the other direction---left...I'll add hip flips and figure eights during this month of fitness. Oh, you might want to do this to music. Your siblngs won't laugh so loud.

Oh home on the range...

Well, Mom and I are back home now! I was excellent in the car and even slept most of the way! I'm such a smart kitty though because I started meowing like crazy when we arrived on our street! Mom is baffled how I knew we were home. Well, we cats have a great sense of direction (apparently!)

Playing in my new krinkle tunnel!

Blogging in 2009!

Odds & ends:

Well, Mom and I are planning on heading back home either Saturday afternoon or Sunday. We had a nice visit with my grandma, but we're anxious to get back. Of course, Mom has been fantasizing about coming back to a nice clean apartment, but we actually left a disaster area. (Hence why Mom wants to come back a couple days before classes resume).

Here are a few pics Mom just downloaded from our camera:

I made it all the way up here all by myself!!! Who says an aging cat can't climb!

"I'm such a smart boy!"

Santa Claws came to see me! (Mom's cousin bought me the stogie & toy mouse!)
