Back to "Werk" Monday

Mom's stay-cation is over. She's going back to her day hunting gig today.

Mom had a big list of things she wanted to do during her stay-cation, and she crossed things off and added more. Mostly everything is crossed out. So she's happy. Except for the terrible happenings last Thursday, we had a good time together.

Go over and VOTE in the Do The Q Contest! I'm making my own final selections and plan to get my vote in today!

Sporting Sunday

WELL! Mom and I watched Roger and Novak play Tennis yesterday. We were disappointed to see Roger lose, but Novak played very well. Today, we will be rooting for Rafael Nadal to win.

But first, we will be watching my pals, the guys named Pat. I live in New England, and they are my team!

I will be voting in Monty's Do The Q contest also! So many good entries... GO VOTE!

In other news, I slept in my nifty tent for a few hours last night, then I decided to curl up next to Mom for the rest of the night. (She put the fleece blanket on the bed, so it was nice and cozy.)

Surprising Saturday

Three years ago, Mom made me this tent. Three years ago I wouldn't get in it, so Mom stuck it away in the closet.

Mom noticed me hiding under the bed, and thought "Hmm... I wonder if Millie would like the tent? So she dragged it out and set it up.What can I say? It's a cat's prerogative to change her mind.



*Oh, and you know that PTU Mom brought home the other day? She took it back!

Heh!

Terrible Thursday

WELL.

Yesterday the score was

Millie: 1
Mom: 1

This morning, Mom went out. When she came back, she had this:A bigger PTU (Prisoner Transport Unit). So big, in fact, it is for woofies! Mom thought the wire top and door and more openings on the side would induce me to go into the box more willingly.

In her mind, the score was now like this:

Millie: 1
Mom: 2

However. Do you see me in this new PTU?
Of course not!

Millie: 2
Mom: 2

But later Mom and I got into an argument. She bribed me with stinky goodness. She bribed me with treats. She chased me around the house. She moved furniture. I was NOT going into that PTU.

She begged. She pleaded.
I resisted. I howled.

She got her leather gloves.
I hissed. I scratched.

In the end, we were both worn out, and I ended up in the original PTU.

Mom was shaking.
I was panting.

Millie: 2
Mom: 3


We went for a ride in the new metal masheen. We went to the v-e-t.

Millie: 2
Mom: 4

I'm not stupid, I knew what was coming. I wasn't getting out of that box even if the door was open.

Millie: 3
Mom: 4
I was unceremoniously dumped OUT of the PTU onto a steel table.

Millie: 3
Mom: 5

A very nice, very gently lady v-e-t petted me, and told me how pretty I was. (I get a point for that.) She looked at my teeths. (I get another point for that.) She poked my tummy and I was very nice. I didn't growl or scratch or fight. (I get another point for that.). I think I got stabbed. (I deserve two points for that.) She carefully trimmed my claws, stroking me all the time. Then she picked me up, and very gently carried me into another room and put me on a scale.

Dear cats! I actually lost weight! I am a very slender, svelte 10.3 pounds! The very nice lady v-e-t said I was PERFECT! (I get another point for that.) When she was finished, Mom brought the PTU over to the table and I hopped right in! (I get another point for that.)

Millie: 10
Mom: 5

The Very Nice Lady V-e-t said she added a note to my record that I did not like getting into the PTU and that any future appointments should be considered "flexible." Dunno what that means exactly, but it didn't sound bad. Sounds like a point for ME!

Final score!

Millie: 11
Mom: 5


And beans think they are smarter than cats!

Mo Cats Day!

It's Mo Cats Day! Woo Hoo!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, wait a minute... WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FOODS DISH?

Poppy Q, I thought you were my FRIEND! What is this suggesting that Mom give me a "light" dinner the night before. The night before WHAT?

Millie: 1
Mom: 1

Wednesday Winner

Do you see me in this box? Indeed, you do not!


Hiding skills are vastly overrated. The prized skill is being able to successfully evade being put IN the box!

Millie: 1
Mom: 0


Heh!

Tuxie Tuesday

I'm having fun hiding from Mom! She couldn't find me all day yesterday!

Millie Monday

I've tucked in my tail. I'm hiding better now.

Really.

Sneaky Sunday

In my plans to avoid this...
I am testing hiding places.I think I have to try harder.

Slow Saturday...

It's going to be a nice, easy, slow day here today. It rained last night, but it is sunny and warm now. Mom and I will be having a nice relaxing day watching the Tennis.Mom is on stay-cation again next week, and we haven't got much planned next week either...
HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!

Finally Friday!

Zzz...

Am I Too Late?

Mom never thought it would come, but here I am doing a Full Monty! I hope it's not too late to enter the contest!

Smoochies!

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Mom got a new set of wheels. Hers is the silver one on the right. Auntie Karate got new wheels too. Hers is the red one on the left.

Can you tell they're sisters?




**ps, Mom says I will get a chance to ride in it real soon because we got a notice from the stabby place that I need to get shot. Yeah, like I'm gonna let that happen any time soon...

Tattle Tale Tuesday

You know your Mom is tired if she goes to bed when Roger Federer is still playing tennis. (I mean, like, in the middle of a match!)

Millie Monday

I'm telling you, it's a regular quilt merry-go-round here. Mom finished her quilt for the Doll Quilt Swap, and that is on its way OUT. Then this quilt, for her pal Julie, came IN. Mom says it won't stay long, and then it too, is gonna go OUT.

Go figure.

In the meantime, there are a few cats that need our purrs. Coco, Sniffie, Bear, Monty Q and others are still feeling poorly. You can read about them over at the Cat Blogosphere blog. Thanks.

Oh and, here at my house, it's gonna be All Tennis, All The Time for the next coupla weeks...

Sneaky Sunday

Mom's cleaning and sewing. The Tennis starts tomorrow, and she wants to be ready. Me? Well, I -was- napping on that nice fleece blanky, but then a birdie flew into the bushes, and now I am stalking mode...


Keep purring for my honey, Monty Q!

Purrs for Monty Q

Hi everybody!

While Mom was out looking at metal masheens this morning, I have been visiting my sweetheart, Monty Q.

He has an abscess on his back and had to visit the V-e-t where he got an Aunti-Biotic shot. He also has a cold and MomBean says his boo-boo is more swollen today than it was yesterday. We're all hoping it gets better real soon or he has another visit to the v-e-t in his future.

Would you all be so kind as to send him some purrs?

thank you!
Millie

Finally Friday!

Psst... Mom's hunting the ever-elusive Month End, and then, when she gets home, she will start her big stay-cation. Woo hoo! She's gonna watch a lot of Tennis, and she will do some sewing. I plan to get a lot of scritches.


Do you "Q?" You have to enter the "Do The Q" contest! Go on over and post a picture! It's fun!

I'm sponsoring a special prize this year!

Stay-Cation Countdown...

Mom's on Stay-cation for two whole weeks starting on Saturday. She says she is going to look at metal masheens.

Dunno what -that's- all about. I look at metal masheens drive by the house all day long...

Happy Birthday Auntie Karate!

It's Auntie Karate's birthday today! You know... Mom's baby sister... PlusOne's Mom... Roxy's Mom... This is Auntie Karate peeking out from behind the quilt she made for SweetBean.
