Tigmut'hep Tuesday...

It has been pointed out to me recently that I'm rather lazy when it comes to blogging, so I'm going to try and rectify this... In fact I'm doing my best to become a better Tigmut'hep in 2009 than I was last year. To this end I'm suffering a great indignity in order to try and break my over grooming habit! Oh yes, I've let them dress me in customized baby underwear... :S At least they got me white and blues ones and not the pink ones that my treacherous Boy suggested, I really would have had to leave him the gift of warm wet furball in the shoe if he had done that to me! Luckily for him Mummy stepped in and saved that small tragedy from happening... So I now have 2 blue and one white onesies that have been tailored to my exact requirements. I think that once Mummy has finished tailoring them all for my needs I may well insist that she customize them more fully with added slogans and the like! ;) Oh and just in case anykitty was wondering it seems I'm an age 3-6 months...

Mummy says if I wear these for a good portion of the day that I will have less opportunity to over groom while leaving me free to run around the house with Ramses and Isis if I so please. Seeing as the only other options were some sort of muzzle that would keep me from my food, or a conehead, I guess that Mummy and Daddy's invention is not so bad... The upside of it is I have a warm belly at last and I must say I do rather like that feeling! Once I've let some of my furs grow back I gather I won't have to wear my cloths as much, as long as I continue to refrain from my grooming habits of 12 hrs a day spent licking my belly pink... I kind of hope it works as I'm sick of Ramses poking fun of my nakid pink undercarriage and Isis asking me when the kittens are due! So paws crossed I can beat this compulsion, even if I can't kick the 'nip habit! ;)

Winter is coming too early this year (I like it to arrive on December 20th and leave again Jan 3rd) and I'm feeling the cold. So to keep myself from freezing I decided to raid the dressing up box that the long suffering Yao-Lin sent to us earlier in the year!

First of all I looked at the Hawaiian outfit and decided a pink bikini top and a grass skirt really wasn't warm enough, let alone an outfit befitting my dignity. I think it's more an Isis thing... Next came the teddy bear hat, which I tried on for size. It's a little small, but does keep the ears nice and warm, plus it'd stay on well if I wanted to wear it outside - so I think I'll put my pawmark on that one! ;) Then came the deer stalker hat, with it's little holes for my ears to poke through. Surprisingly this also keeps them pretty warm and it's a far better fit (although I think Mummy should add some Velcro or elastic to the ear flaps so I can keep it on firmly when I want to venture out in the cold). Lastly I added the scarf to my ensemble, this not only gives it an extra layer of warmth, but I think it rather finishes off the look! :) Oh yes that one's my outfit for sure and has been suitably pawmarked as such. Purrsonally In think it's very fetching and it certainly helps keep a poor cold kitty warm at this time of year, which of course if most important!

The only other thing I now need is a hot teddy bear to cuddle with from SantaPaws! Something like a Beanie baby, but wheat filled so Mummy can warm it up for me in the microwave oven before putting me to bed with it. Oh yer something like that would be purrfect for a cat like me... :)
