Happenings
Not much news here. In an effort to "beef" me up, mom did some research yesterday and found that Kitten Chow may be good for this so mom is going to try it. There are 2 very important events this week. Oct. 4 (Wed), there will be a prayer vigil at 9 PM (eastern) for Rajjah.(world_clock_time_converter) Then on Friday, Oct.6, there is a tentative welcome home party schedules for Luna. Secret Paws and Cat Blogosphere sites will have update information. If you haven't already, read the Cat Blogosphere news AND my Sunday sermon at the Pet Prayer & Praise blog. Have a blessed week. Love, Beau

Mom overheated
Mom got a bad hurty place on her right side Saturday, and she's been in lots of pain. Mom went to her v-e-t today and came home with chunks. The anti bio tics (again) and i bu pro fin. Mom said her v-e-t said she had a kid knee in fect shun and had also pulled a muscle. What I want to know is this: Why didn't she give the knee back to the kid? That seems kinda mean to me! And, why did she pull her muscle? Tonight, she stuck a plastic stick, with numbers on it and that beeped, in her mouth. It showed she has overheated. Sounds like mom had a stupid week! (But don't tell her I said so!) She said to tell everybody she's okay and this is nothing to what a lot of you are going through so don't worry about her. She'll be okay! Love, Beau

Stop Wiggling!
Have you ever had someone grab and wiggle your nose, while telling you how cute you are? Or seen a human do it to another human? Well, mom did that to me today. Drove me nuts! I HATE that. I am a grown cat, not a kitten and, in all snarkiness, find it totally annoying and humiliating. Can't someone just SAY, "I love you and think you're very cute" ??? Geez, what we have to put up with. Okay, so the day wasn't a total loss. Mom got pizza and gave me some ham and bacon from it. YUM!! And Grandpa and Momma S. dropped by. Oh, and mom is doing better. She's no longer overheated and as long as she's taking i bu pro fin she doesn't hurt as much. Hope to see you at the prayer vigil tomorrow night! Love, Beau

Speechless
I can't believe it! I sort of, kinda got another award (below) from another caption contest hosted by the Pierce kitties. I didn't find out about it until the end and though I still had time to enter, even though they had started judging so I entered a bunch at once. I got a "special mention" because I entered more than anybody (and I think they liked them too). My award is below, AAAAND Tuesday I was Kat's Cat of the Day! WOW!! I feel so special, honored, and blessed. Kat had asked me to submit some pictures and a paragraph, which I did, but I didn't know if and when I would get it. So WOW!! I was also honored that Her Majesty from the House of Royals even honored me with special comments. But, despite all this my mind is still on Rajjah and all my other friends that need my support and prayers right now. That always comes first. Love, Beau

Spoiled
You may not believe this but I'm spoiled. Yep, it's true! You wouldn't believe some of the things mom lets me get away with! Like yesterday, she actually let me play with a partial role of paper towels. Can you believe that?! I thought it was a trap. I proceeded very cautiously, but I actually didn't get in trouble for it! I'm still kind of nervous about that, but it was the most fun! I rolled with it, scratched part of it to pieces, and even made it roll on its own. I didn't let mom take a picture of all this. I didn't want any evidentce to come back and bite me in the butt. Just wait 'til I tell you about what I got away with doing to the couch! Until then..check out this week's Cat Blogosphere news and be sure to see the new Prayer & Praise list, and Sunday sermon tomorrow. Love, Beau

The Trip
I almost forgot I was going to show you some more pictures of me helping mom get ready for her trip. So much has been going on lately in the cat blogosphere I totally forgot. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me. Here is a pciture of me in the clothes case helping me put in her clothes. Below are two more pictures of me making sure the case was emptied when mom got home. (I also found the open case makes for a perfect napping area!) Have a great week! Love, Beau

Mom's question
Mom has a question. As I have aged, I have lost a LOT of muscle tone. I have kept my weight but have lost the muscle tone, and fine muscular look I once had. My cousin Smokey has not, but he is an indoor-outdoor kitty. Mom wants to know if there is ANYTHING we can do, since I am strictly indoors, or outside on a leash, to help build up my muscle tone again. This is why she thought of kitten chow, but she has been reminded that the extra protein in it could be hard on my middle-aged body. So, ANY suggestions?? Love, Beau

What I really need is...
Mom has been told that what I need to rebuild muscle is to get more excercise. It was even suggested that I get a wheel to run on like our ratty friends have. (No offense, but I don't think so.) If I'm going to be made to get more excercise what I really need is a personal trainer and my own gym. Does anyone know of a good personal cat trainer, what proper cat gym equipment I need, and where I can get it? If you do, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate. (And don't feel the need to hurry. heehee!) Love, Beau

Outside
For the first time in a long time mom took me outside on my leash. The fresh air was so enjoyable and laying in the sunspots was also very nice. I did walk around some, but mostly I just enjoyed feeling the wind in my fur and the sun on my back. AAAAH! Another fun thing is looking over the railing down below. I like seeing how high up I am. It makes me want to moew loudly, "I"M KING OF THE WORLD!!!" I know mom took me out to get excercise, for muscle building, but I'm almost 7...and I'm a writer not an athlete. There's gotta be an easier way! Speaking of age, we're working on the possibility of having a birthday party. The problem is my site isn't a good one for it so we're working on having it "off site." More details to come! (New pic below) Love, Beau

No way!
Mom gave me the opportunity this morning to go out on my leash, but when she opened the door, it was like, "What the...?!" It was sooo very -c-c-cold. I think I grew my winter coat in one pouf! And the sky is grey, cloudy, and sad looking. What happened to our nice weather. I want it back. Yesterday was nice!. I definitely thought twice about going out and opted to go back to the opposite end of our place and take a nap in my nice warm bed instead. I hope mom turns on the heat soon. Stay warm! Love, Beau

Pressies
These are thank you and prize pressies I got the last few days. The first is a blue and white crow shay nap mat from Sophia, buns, and all the family. This was exciting 'cause I never got a pressie from a bun before, much less a made one! Also, Kimo and Sabi sent me a prize package for winning the caption contest. In case you can't tell, it had chicken & cheese treats, cat stickers, a mousie, a nip bag, a card with cats on it, and a foil ball. (The foil ball rolled under stuff about the time mom took the picture.) I feel very special and blessed this week...and my birthday's not for another 3 weeks!! (It appears it will be help Nov. 4 at Smeagol & Strider's site. Confirmation and time coming soon!) Thank you so much Sophia, Kimo and Sabi. I love love love my pressies!! Love, Beau

The Way
There's a saying, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." It's gotta be true! I'm a man kitty and I like eating, especially treats, chicken...well I could go on forever! (heehee!!) There's a show called Little Shop of Horrors with a giant fly trap plant in it. It's definitely a man plant. It has a man's voice and all it ever says is FEEEEEED ME! Feed me and I'll love you forever. I think that should be my new saying! What do you think??! P.S Check out the new Cat Blogosphere logo at the bottom right. The cat on the banner's left is ME!! Cool, huh?! You can yours by going to the Blogosphere site. While there read the lastest news. Sunday sermom tomorrow on the Pet Prayer & Praise blog!! Love, Beau

Having fun!
Remember when I said I was allowed to play with a partial roll of paper towels??? Well, here's the proof!! And see the big kitty smile on my face? I was having soooo much fun. I laid on it, held it and shredded it with my front paws and rabbit kick shredded it with my hind legs!! It was a blast (and those rolls are also not hard to knock off a counter. heehee!!) Love, Beau

Blanket Wars
Since it's getting colder at night mom has added a couple of cushy warm blankets to the bed. So I figured I would help keep mom warm at night by laying on top of her. After all, I've got a fur coat to help keep me warm, and I'm an "on top of" sleeper anyway. Okay, the truth is I also want to sleep where it's warmer too so I've sort of, actually have, taken over the bed at night. In fact I sort of owed her from the night before. I hogged ALL the covers to where she couldn't really have any. Being the kind person she is she didn't disturb me, and let me have the covers but was cold and sleepless all night. So last night I let her get under the covers then slept on top of her (cushy tummy) and the cushy covers and helped keep her warm. So, we were both warm and happy and it was a good night!! Love, Beau

A Recommendation
Although I am not very fond of most wet cat foods (because of the smell), I was recently sent a sample of one through PetSmart. It is called white meat chicken florentine with garden greens (SG medley's brand). It is SOOO very good. I ate so much my belly was stuffed! I had to strech out after that!! And I still haven't finished the can. It is both filling and yummy. Have your humans buy some today! Mom couldn't get a picture of me all stretched out, but here is me being cute for her. Love, Beau

Totally bummed
This morning, when mom opened the bedroom blinds, a small brown bird immediately flew to the window for a second...AND I MISSED IT! I was checking out something else at the time. This is so not cool! Had I know that was going to happen I would have been sitting on the window ledge and given that bird a heart attack! heeheeheeheehee!! I'll be watching for that bird to come back...and when it does...! In the meantime, I'm going to go sulk. Have a nice day and freak a bird for me! Love, Beau

Missed Days
Today it's really cold...and cloudy. I miss the nice sunny days with warm sun spots to nap in. Now all I feel like doing is curling up in a ball, in my nice fleece round bed, and napping the days away. I don't even feel like clawing anything. I even want to keep my nails retracted and sleep in turtle position. (Beau starts singing from CATS...) MEEEEMRIIIIIIES...now alllll cloudy aaaaand chillllly...how I long for the waaaaarm sun...instead of this coooollllld. (Love, Beau)

Is she back???
Mom let me go out on my leash today because the sun was out but still chilly. I went out into the breezeway and at the opposite end was a stranger. I kept sitting there staring her down so mom finally looked out to see what I was watching. It was a gray cat! At first mom was puzzled by this, but then she wondered if it might finally be Precious, but more grown. Mom doesn't think so. She remembers her being more tiger than gray and she doesn't think she would be that big yet...but you never know. She thought it might be Precious' and Fearless' mom. The sad thing is she was very feral acting and would run if mom tried to get close. But being the person she is, put out a handful of food. She ate the whole thing so mom put out another handful and she all THAT. Gray really was hungry! I didn't like mom taking food right out of MY bowl to feed her, especially since we need more food, but I'm glad she fed a hungry kitty. Mom put out one more handful, under a bush, in case Gray comes back again. We hope to eventually rescue her too! Love, Beau

Anon e-mouse
That mean anon e-mouse that keeps messing with blogs messed up MY blog with the wagging tail. And so far no one's been able to fix it. I am so hissy about this! I would love to scratch up his pillow and then poop all over it, and then top it off with a coughed up hairball. Anyway, I have decided to blog here until the problem can be resolved, and or blogger quits working too (which seems to be common lately). So, anyway I'm back..but just here instead. I've missed blogging and missed everybody! Love, Beau

AAAAGH!!!
Last night mom found a flea on me. I knew I had it but didn't let mom confirm it until last night. We're not sure how I got it since I don't get outside much, but I've got one. (Mom thinks when she put some food out for Gray the other night one got on her, then jumped on me.) So today I get the dreaded bath to get rid of it. I'm not looking forward to the bath, but I'll be glad to get rid of the flea. Fortunately it's not a cold day! Well, time to be a man and get my bath! Thanks for visiting! Love, Beau

Freak your humans!!
I found a good way to freak mom. If you have a tunnel or cube (especially a tunnel), and a lot of us do, lay in front of the opening and just stare inside like you're looking at something, or thinking about something. (First make sure that nothing inside is in there.) Your humans will wonder wonder what's you're looking at, and or what the problem is. It will be SOOO funny! And with Halloween tomorrow night, it is the perfect time to freak them! Have fun and be sure to stay inside where it's safe tomorrow night! Love, Beau

Tuxie Tuesday Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! I hope everyone is inside and safe! (I care!) Blessings! Beau
