My Boy is Back and Meme

Oh what a wonderful life it is, the decoration is nearly done, all the tiles are up in the kitchen, the birds are in the garden and D'boy is home at long last! :) I've missed him so much and now he's home and all is right in my World... Soon he will be rested and the toys will come out again and I can play with them, oh how I have missed the Lego! ;)

Other than that I have been tagged for a meme by Black Cat, so seeing as I'm in such a good mood today I thought I'd do it! :)

The rules: Link to the one who tagged you. List the rules on your blog. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours. Tag some blogger friends with links. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.

1) I have a real passion for Lego and love nothing better than running round the house with some little Lego man in my mouth, while D'boy chases me to save his poor little Lego man from his fate! ;)

2) I love to eat sweetcorn, it's my fave and I'll even leave meat to get to one of those sweet and tender niblets! :)

3) I'm mostly forced to sleep alone, none of the other cats will sleep with me even... All this just because I snore really loudly! :(

4) I love my belly, so much so that I like to show it off all the time and keep my belly fur down to a bare minimum so it's far more visible than it would be if I let all my black fluffs grow all over it! ;)

5) I love to nip the seams of Mummy's jeans and trousers, (one of the reasons she often wears skirts I hear. I even do it to Dad's occasionally, but as yet he hasn't chosen to wear skirts! ;)

6) I love teddy bears and sleep with them as often as possible, well they don't complain about my snoring so why not?! ;)

These are all elements of what make me unique and different from those Abys that Mum loves so much. Honestly she'd be lost without me and my own special ways! :)

I'm tagging my buddy Yao-lin as I know he has some amazing traits to share with you all! I have also tagged that lovely ladycat Miss Peach as I'm sure she'll enjoy it too! :)

Mancat Monday Meme

Well it's been an interesting weekend here, Ramses and I had a peaceful day on Saturday after being served breakfast at the proper time for once. Mummy & Dad took Isis out for the day to make it an extra good and restful day for us mancats, so even if Ramses was a bit of a whiny baby about missing Mummy and 'sis it was lovely to have so much peace and quiet! :) When at last they came home they bought home piles and piles of the yummy Swedish cat food I told you all about a while back - so I forgave them for bringing Isis home again! ;)

That nice Mrs. Oz from the The Cat Realm tagged me for a meme all about my name, this is great 'cause I love things about me! ;) Anyway here's how the Name Game goes:

What is your name?
Tigmut'hep, though I'm called Tigs or sometimes Tigger

If you could change your name, what would it be?
Tigmut'hep Ruler of the World

What is your pet's name?
Ramses (even if he doesn't accept this fact)

If you could change your pet's name, what would it be?
Slave (but I fear that'd cause a riot!)

What is your brother or sister's name?
Some may consider Ramses and Isis to be my siblings, but it's not true!

If you could change their name, what would it be?
As I have said Slave for Ramses and Isis would be Gone... :)

Now I have to tag as many people (or critters) as the letters in my new name!
Eeer I think there are some real advantages to going by the shortened version of my name, Tigs! So that's 4 letters...

Hopefully the following will have as much fun as I did playing the Name Game:
Yao-lin
Castle
Kimo & Sabi

Far Away Family Friday...

As some of you will remember my boy is off on holiday in Canada at the moment, much to my annoyance I might add...
It seems I have to time share him with Garfie his Canadian cat, whether I want to or not! :(

So the Lego is packed away and no one wants to play toy cars with me, what's more when I decide to sit on Mummy she fidgets way too much! Plus she's just a little too tall to give me the room I require to sleep at the foot of her bed - a good 3ft is all I ask for, but she moans that her legs go numb if she's forced to sleep all curled up in a ball. Honestly if they're that numb she can't feel them, so what's the problem?!

Anyway as you can all tell I'm suffering from neglect and have abandonment issues, so when my boy phoned Dad last night to wish him a Happy Birthday I jumped onto his lap and head butted the phone until he got the message and told my boy I wanted to talk to him. So there I sat on Dad's lap with the phone held to my ear and purred at my boy as he said nice things to me. It seems Garfie is not as good a playmate as me and will only play toy cars for 20-30 mins before wanting a nap, and believe it or not he has no passion for Lego! I mean what is Lego without a cat to help take your little men on wild adventures? With me by his side my boy's Lego men live a life of great daring, often grasped around the neck, head first in my mouth as I rush off into the distance awaiting my boy to come and mount an intrepid rescue operation! :)

At least I hear that it's now only both ears and all my claws until my boy comes home and by the time Dad starts working again next week it'll just be all my claws - from then on it's an easy countdown until he's back where he belongs and my toys will be out again! :)

Mancat and My Birthday Monday!

Oh what a wonderful Mancat Monday, my boy is back from Yao-lin's Island and it's full of toys and tasty treats for me because I'm 8 years old today! :) This morning I got a new mousie toy, the little mousie is attached to a purple ball and wobbles and moves when you bop it senseless! It's deeply satisfying to belt it silly... ;)

Following that I had some gormet cat food from Sweden for my breakfast and I heat I'm getting more of it for dinner too and this time it'll be Reindeer flavour! :) Oh how I've always wanted to nibble Roudolf and Mummy has finally sensed this and is enabeling me to live out my dreams... ;)

I hear I have some more toys to come after D'boy gets back from school and the Dr's (he's having a tetanus shot), I can smell them on the top shelf in the living room, but can't quite get to them so I'll have to wait for now... Though this mousie may well suffer greatly due to my frustration! ;)

Time now for a Birthday nap on the sofa in Mummy's office I think... Oh yer life is sweet one days like this! :)

Five Thankful Thursday...

It's a strange day today, but I have many things to be thankful for too... While my friend Tigs the Norwegian Forest cat who lives with Noodle Doodle, Isis sister, is at the vets really sick with a blocked of the urethra due to strutive crystals, my other friend Baby Mao is at home and under the bed hiding from Yao-lin while recovering from food poisoning and our very dear friend Storm spends her last hours with her wonderful Mummy and her loving brother Castle, I can still think of reasons for thanks! :)

Firstly I'm thankful that I have so many wonderful friends! :) Yes, it's sad when they are sick or dying, but I have had many lovely times because of them and have so many great memories - for these I am very thankful! :)


Secondly I'm so glad that Tigs Mummy noticed that he wasn't peeing and in pain yesterday afternoon, as he was fully blocked and only hours away from causing permanent kidney damage or even death! I'm thankful that his Mummy got cross at the receptionist and insisted she called the Vet in straight away instead of leaving him there until evening surgery hours. With a blockage like he had time is very much of the essence... I'm most thankful that she just phoned to tell Mummy that he's been catheterized and can now pee, so his kidneys are at least safe now and she'll keep us updated on his progress! I'm grateful and thankful too now to have FLUTD myself as I've been able to get Mummy to send her a list of all the tricks she used for making sure I drink enough and eat the Rx food etc that keeps me flowing freely! ;)

Thirdly I'm thankful that Baby Mao is home and getting better even if he has to do so hidden under the bed away from Yao-lin! I hope that silly boy has learnt his lesson about eating stuff Yao-lin dares him to eat... ;)

Fourthly I am thankful that Storm has been my friend and the friend of all here... She is a wonderful ladycat and has fought so very hard and beaten her cancer not once, but twice. She beat the odds too and lived nearly twice as long as they'd thought she would! It's just that her body is too old and tired from all her battling to go on and so she will spend the last few hours with her wonderful Mummy and lovely brother Castle, watching all the nature programs that she loves before crossing the bridge with a little help from her loyal Vet Ben tomorrow just after 1pm... I am thankful that she can cross the bridge in the same dignified manner that she has always shown, even in the face of adversity and disease. I am thankful that she will do so surrounded by love, both with her and by her side as well as from afar around the Blogsphere.

Lastly I'm thankful that she will have a ladycat meezer over the bridge to help guide her way, in the form of Mummy's own dear Barbie-Q, another battler like Stormie I am sure they will have many hours together rolling in the heavenly catnip fields...
