posted by The Island Cats on Aug 26

A couple of weeks ago, we received this award from some new furiends of ours…Lu-Lu and Lucius.  If you haven’t met these two kitties yet, you should go over and say hello!!

Thanks, Lu-Lu and Lucius!!  Sorry it’s taken us so long to publicly thank you, but our assistant (mom!) has been kinda slow lately.  Good help is so hard to find these days!!

We know there’s some rules for this award, but since it’s Scafflaw/Scofflaw Week, we’re not gonna follow them.  Yeah, we’re rebels!!  But we do wanna pass this award on to anybuddy who doesn’t have it yet!!  Please take it and enjoy!!!

My furiend, Jadzia, gave me — just me

and not those other Island Cats — this cool award!!

Thanks, Jadzia!!

The rules for this award say I gotta tell you 9 things about me.  Some of these things you may already know…other things might be new.  Here goes!!

1.  I gots extra toes on all my feets!!  I gots 7 toes on each of my front feets and 5 on each of my back feets.

2.  When I was at the shelter, before I was adopted by my mom, my name was Mister.  After I was adopted, my mom changed my name to Ernie.  I like Ernie better!!

3.  I like to chew things…which gets me in big trouble sometimes.  Like when I chewed the TV cord.  I got in BIG trouble for that one!!

4.  I love unrolling the toilet paper and the paper towels and pulling the kleenex out of the box.  Which also gets me in BIG trouble.  Guess I really earned my Naughty Kitty Club badge!!

5.  My furs are all black ‘cept for a few little white furs on my belly.  If you look at my picture, you can see those white furs.  (Do you think I should get those dyed??)

6.  Out of us Island Cats, I’m the cuddler.  I love curling up and sleeping with my mom.

7.  My nicknames are Easy E, E-Cat and Bubbs…I don’t know where Bubbs came from but mom says it fits me!!

8.  My favorite game is knocking a pen off the counter and then rolling it all over the floor!

9.  After taking care of “business” in the litter box, I run around the house like crazy!!   Everyone better get out of my way!!

I hope you enjoyed learning some more about me. 

I wanna share this award with ALL my fellow House Panthers…like Cory and Huffle and Hendrix and Pixie and Mickey, just to name a few!!

It’s a new year…and we got a new award!!!

We got the Superior Scribbler Award from our furiends, Madi and her mom!  Thanks!!  (By the way, it’s Madi’s mom’s birthday today…you should go over and wish her a Happy Birthday!!)

The Superior Scribbler Award was started by The Scholastic Scribe to celebrate their 200th post.  To read more about the Superior Scribbler Award click HERE.

Since this is a scribbler award, we thought we’d do a little scribbling…

Now that’s superior, dontcha think??? 

As with every award, there’re some rules that need to be followed:

1.  Each Superior Scribbler (SS) must pass the Award on to 5 deserving blogger friends.

2.  Each SS must link the author and name of the blog from whom he/she received the award.

3.  Each SS must display the award on his/her blog and link to the post which explains the award.

4.  Each SS is asked to visit the post which explains the award and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List (we’ve been unable to do this).

5.  Each SS must post these rules on his/her blog.

We’d like to give this award to all our blogging furiends ‘cuz they all deserve it but, since the rules say only 5, we’re passing it on to:

Cory & her family at Cory Cat Blog

Fin at Housecat Confidential

All the kitties over at Cat of Nine Tales

Siena & Chilli at Cat With a Garden

Milo & Alfie at The Cat’s Meow

Keep on scribbling!!

A while ago, we got this fun award from our furiend, Lucy!!  But someone (mom!) has been derelict in her duties by not helping us post it.

Thanks, Lucy!!  We think it’s cool that you’d give us an award with “I Love Lucy” on it!!  (Mom wants to know how many of you remember that show??)

We wanna pass this award onto all of you…our furiends…for making us smile everyday…when we visit you…or read the comments you leave us…

You cheer us up!!!

 Everyone wants to know…

What’s That Wally Doing?

The kitties at Team Tabby gave us this award the other day…

the “Oops!  I Ate It!”  Award.

 With acceptance of this award you’re supposed to

share stories of the foods you stole from your humans.

Well, I hate to admit it, but none of us Island Cats are much of human food stealers.  I’m probably the closest to a food thief here.

Y’see, I’ve gotta thing for tomatoes…I dunno why…I think it’s the color red…or the fact that tomatoes are round and roll real easy.  Anyway, mom learned the hard way that she can’t leave tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter…not with the likes of me around!  Let me tell you why…

Awhile back, mom came home from the grocery store and as she was putting all the stuff away, she took a tomato that was in a plastic bag and put it on the kitchen counter.  Later that day I snuck up there, gave that tomato a couple of nibbles through the plastic, and whapped it around until it fell on to the floor.  Yes!  That tomato was mine!!  I grabbed it, still in the plastic bag, and ran off to hide it!  No one saw me do this!!

Mom musta forgot all about that tomato (she’s getting old, y’know, and her memory isn’t what it used to be).  A few weeks later (yeah…weeks), she was cleaning under the bed upstairs and what do you think she found???  Yep, one mushy, icky tomato in a chewed up plastic bag.  After that, she never leaves tomatoes on the counter anymore….

I know a lot of you already got this award…but if you don’t have it yet and you’re a food thief, take this award and tell us about the foods you stole!!
