The Island Cats…Every Cat wants to be an Island Cat!

Excuse me, mom…I was trying to take a nap here.

Dontcha got anything better to do than to disturb me?

Why dontcha go clean our litterboxes

or go fill the cupboard with our cans of stinky goodness

or clean our toys out from under the china cabinet?

Y’know…useful stuff…important stuff…

instead of bothering me.

Sheesh…I really gotta get me a Do Not Disturb sign.

Happy National Straw Hat Day!

This is an old picture of me wearing my straw hat but I didn’t think you’d mind seeing it again.  I like this hat because it’s not real…and, if you look real close, it’s got a birdie on it.  What I don’t like is that the birdie’s not real so I can’t eat him!!  I think there should be a National Bird Eating Day, don’t you??

Maybe if I sit here and give Wally the stink eye

he’ll move and I can have the top of the ladder.

Sheesh…the things I hafta put up with around here.

I know!

If I yell real loud, he’ll move for sure!!

Ayyyyyeeeeeeee!!!!

Now he’s really annoying me.

Rats!!  That didn’t work either!

Guess I’ll just hafta let you share with me, Wally!

Ernie, buddy, you got that all wrong.

I was here first…so that makes me sharing with you!

Details…details, Wally!!

It’s Mother’s Day here in the U.S. of A.

So, Mom, on this special day, I promise…

not to scratch the carpet,

not to yak up a hairball,

not to chase Zoey,

not to unroll all the toilet paper and paper towels,

not to bother Wally and make him mad,

not to beg incessently for more foods,

and generally be a good boy.

Being good for one day can’t be that hard, right?

Right??

Hey!

How many hours are left in this day??

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms!!

Nope!

I won’t look up…so stop asking.

You’re gonna hafta be satisfied with seeing

just the top of my head today!

In honor of our furiend, Fin, who went to the Rainbow Bridge, we’re re-running our post that we did for Scofflaw Week.  This originally ran on August 23, 2010.  This one’s for you, Finny!!

Our furiend, Fin, has declared this week as Scafflaw Week…a week for us cats to break all the rules and be down right naughty!!

But everybuddy knows that us cats NEVER follow the rules…

Like the rule that we’re not suppose to eat the plants…

We nom away!!

And the one that we shouldn’t mess up the cushions on the couch…

We mess them up and then take a nap on the mess!!

Or the rule that we can’t be up on top of the china cabinet…

That one was meant to be broken!!

And not laying on the kitchen counters?

Well, you can forget that rule all together!!!

So go ahead, humans, and make your rules…

we’ll just continue to ignore them…

Because we’re cats…and that’s how we roll!!

I was gonna post something funny today, but then I heard that our furiend, Fin…aka Finny De Floof…from Housecat Confidential had gone to the Rainbow Bridge.  It made me very sad and I don’t feel like being funny now.

Fin was one of our first furiends when we started blogging.  We loved her and the funny, witty stories she told.  We enjoyed pawticipating in the events that she organized like the Cat-O-Lympics, Hunt Week and Scofflaw Week.  We’re sure gonna miss her.  We send comforting purrs to her family, ‘specially her mom, who is missing her so much.

Run free, sweet Fin!

We will never forget you!!

Hey, Wally!

Why don’t you move and let me get on the scratcher?

No, Ernie…this scratcher is mine.

Aw, c’mon, Wally!  Move!!

No way, Ernie!  Leave me alone!!

I’m gonna poke you ’til you move!!

Hmmmm…

He’s not moving even with my persistent poking.

Ernie, I may give in to you on a lot of stuff…

but I’m not giving up this scratcher!!

Well, you may have won this time, Wally,

but I’ll get that scratcher…

You just wait!

I had me too much Cinco de Mayo yesterday!

I never wanna see another meowgarita again!

Ugh!!

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo de la Isla de Gatos!

(Happy Cinco de Mayo from the Island Cats!)

We’re grabbing our sombreros and heading over to
