Treats in the Morning! Treats in the Evening! Treats in the Afternoon??

You always know when it is time to get up at our house because the members of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde come up to you one by one (or two by two, three by three, and rarely four by four!) to remind you that it is Time for Morning Treats!!  This necessitates mom getting out the treat bottle, since I put treats into an large, empty supplement jar that is fairly easy for me to open but is cat-proof (thus far).  Now there are certain rules for getting treats.

Rule #1 - You must sit politely to get your treat(s).
[generally Da Boys get 1-2 at any treat time]
 "See?  I'm sitting all the way down mom!  No, really!"

Rule #2 - No pushing, shoving, or trying to take someone else's treat.  If you do, you have to go last.
Mister Kitten - "I didn't see anyone doing that!"
Zaphoid - "It wasn't me!!"

Rule  #3 - Thou shall not stare at the treat drawer in an effort to make mom give you treats in the middle of the day (even if this works half the time because you are soooOOOooo cute!).

"You are getting sleeeeeepy.  Very sleeeeeepy.
You want to give me treeeeeeeats!"
"Lookee!  We helped mom put up all of the 'This is my costume!'s and the first of the Trick or Treat section yesterday!!  Wheeeee!  Oh wait, there's a lot more to come!  Oh dear, and then Winter Holidays.  Hmmmm, we just might need a nap now.  Sorry mom!"

300th POST!!! Whoot!!

"Wow!!  We're so excited!!  This is our 300th post!!  It's so hard that I'm just going to collapse and take a nap."

"And it's still kinda hot so hanging out here in the sink
helps make me feel better."

"I'll be keeping on the look-out for more good pictures as well as helping mom with graphics in the store!"

"And, of course, as the ComputerKitty I shall be supervising everycat to make sure things are running smoothly!"

"Because we know that everycat is always good... we have some deeeeeelicious treats for everycat!!  We're out of greenies but we highly recommend these.  They are very nummy substitutes!  We've got something around here for the Feeders as well but we're kinda busy eating these nummy nummy treats!!"


"And we want everycat and Feeder to have a great time!!"

PS!  The Paw's Relation! has gotten their award graphic...
we still need to make graphics for...
First Prize - Sweet Praline!
Second Prize - Samantha & Clementine!
Third place - Katnip Lounge!
Harry & Fiona! who tied for Fourth Place with The Paw's Relation!   
Don't forget that everycat who participated
gets to use the participation graphic! 

PPS Today is the purrday of Hexapuma, who is a gorgeous Maine Coon fed by two of my most favorite SF/F writers Sharon Lee & Steve Miller.  They write the Liaden® series which I adore so much that I have two copies of each book to loan out.  Yes, they are that good!!  Sharon put up a post on her blog today with
pictures of this handsome young man.

Whew! Some Work Got Done!

"See?!  We've got mom eating out of our hands!  Or is it the other way around?  Hmmmmm.  Anyway,  she did another scrub on the 'puter today and we're all crossing our paws that it keeps working!!"

"Mom has started putting up Halloween stuff and began with the "This is my costume!" stuff.  After that it's the Witchy Woman/Kitty, Magic Man/Cat and the Trick or Treat things.  Oh!  And costume inspectors!!  It takes awhile to get these all put in... in fact, we usually get very tired and take naps while mom works on it.  As soon as all of that is in, we'll help mom put in the Winter Holiday stuff.  Of course, we are likely to fall asleep again!!"
We still have a couple more of these to put in... and this link goes to the page of all that are put up right now.
