Scotchy’s Box Hideout

Happy International Box Day!

There’s a jealous boy in our town….

Watch as jealousy runs rampant during our latest outdoor photo shoot.

  

 

Oh kitties, there’s enough love and film for you both!  Be nice Stryder.

A little help please….

Hi!  Its me, Scotchy.  My brofur Stryder has been hogging the blog lately so today I’m taking over.  Ya see, I have a little problem and I was hoping all you kitties or kitty moms out there might be able to help me.

In the past few weeks I have been developing mats in my long floofy fur.  They are big and bad and knotted right up to the skin.  They are all along my tummy and thighs and my girl can not brush them out.  Now whenever someone pets me all they feel are those darn mats and they seem to be growing!  Do any of you know how to deal with them?  My girl is considering taking me to a groomer but I’m afraid they will try to shave me!  Please help, I don’t want to loose all of my beautiful fur for the sake of these silly mats.

Thanks in advance!

Hey there...

Things have been pretty good lately. I've been spending lots of time making biscuits on my girl's healing belly. She says it's ok and it doesn't really hurt any more. I'm glad cause I'm working on a new flavor for my biscuit factory and I need to get some samples out A.S.A.P.! So far I make blueberry, dingleberry, meatloaf and of course cheddar biscuits. What kind do you make?

Hello again!

It's been so long since you have seen any of us the typist thought it would be a good idea to refresh your memories. We are still as cute as ever, you can plainly see. Lots has been going on here at our house.

Christmas came and went. We really enjoyed ourselves under that tree. Scotchy especially liked to hang out under there but she would constantly test her limits by chewing on all the colorful lights. She would be quickly evicted but she always came back for more. Aunt Josey sent us some lovely presents that involved nip, of course. She really knows how to pick 'em! Sugar tried to bring home her own present for everyone, but she let it go as soon as she got in the house and forgot to make it dead first. We all tried to help get it back under paw but we just couldn't get the job done. We were too busy being shy because Meowmy's Gramma was visiting. The Food Lady finally captured it and let it out the back door. Sugar was quite insulted but she got over it when the Party Mix came out.

New Years was a bit lonely. Meowmy left us alone for the first time after her surgery. We didn't know what to do with ourselves without her here. Lucky for us she hurried home the next morning, unlucky for her it was because she was in pain cause she tried to celebrate a bit too much. She thought she was healed enough to get back to her social life, turns out she really wasn't. It took her way longer to get better than she had ever anticipated. She's only just now strong enough to get back into the swing of things.

Which brings us to Valentine's Day. We sure had a nice one! As reward for being such good nurse kitties the Food Lady got us a great present! We got a CAT TREE!! It's fantastic! It has three levels you can sit on, and you can scratch the whole thing and never get in trouble! Even when you put a BIG hole in it the first week you have it --Scotchy. Plus Meowmy got sprayable nip to put on it to help it smell nice and yummy. We also get prizes in the form of Temptations when you climb all the way up to all the platforms. Scotchy has created a maneuver that allows her to circle the main pole while lying on her side. It's truly an inspired move. Anyways, it stands in the kitchen in front of the huge windows that over look our back porch and the woods behind the house, so you know there is plenty of eye candy. It goes all the way to the ceiling! We also got our very own lazer mouse toy and have created several games the have us climbing up and down that tree. It's the best time we've had in a long time!

Oh, yeah, Meowmy said that she had a nice time on Valentine's Day with Almost Dad, Bob. He made her a seafood dinner and brought her sugar free candies and pretty rose petals. He asked her what she would like such as a teddy bear or knick knack. She asked for a 6 pack of Aquafina raspberry water instead! Weird isn't she? Actually we're quite proud of her because that was a healthy request. She has been working really hard on getting healthy. On Friday she got weighed at the doctor's office and she has lost 82lbs! Woo hoo! Way to go Meowmy! Headbonks for everyone!

We would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you who have been stopping by to continue to show your support. We have missed you all too! Your encouragement has really helped us keep Meowmy's spirits up. We hope to soon be back on a more normal blogging schedule but until then we will still be keeping up with you, our friends.

Happy Holidays

Check out these lovely graphics from the Human at Zoolatry!

We are wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season. We will not be around for a while as you may know cause our typist, Meowmy, is having surgery tomorrow. She asked us to say a great big "thank you" to all the nice kitties and beans who have left her messages of love and encouragement, it has meant the world to her to know that so many friends out there care for her. We will be purring for her and taking care of her until she is able to return to her blogging duties. Thanks for coming by, we hope to see you all real soon!

-Stryder, Scotchy and Sugar

Happy Happy Gotcha Day Scotchy!

Hello everyone! Meowmy here, I'm taking over today to give a special message to one of my favorite girl kitties.
It was 3 short years ago that you became a part of our family. You were such an unexpected gift. The cute little foxy kitty who just showed up out of nowhere. You were persistent and you charmed us all. Now you have a special place in our home and our hearts. You bring us so much joy and happiness. We are so lucky to have been chosen by you little girl! We love you and are grateful to be your people. We look forward to celebrating many, many more special days with you.

In honor of Scotchy's special day we would like to give a prize to one of our blogging friends. If you would like to receive your very own copy of "Purry Logic" by Jane Seabrook please leave a comment on this post. A name will be drawn at random and the book will be sent directly to you from the publisher. You have until Thursday evening at 6:00 pm eastern time to leave your request.

Now I'll turn the blog back over to the kitties and go find Miss Scotchy so I can shower her in head scritches, chin rubs, and Party Mix while she showers me in kitty drool, purrs and makes biscuits on my tummy.

P.S. Special thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for the gotcha graphic.

UPDATE: Concatulations to Lorianna of Twilight's Muse. She won the copy of Purry Logic. Thanks to everycat who participated.

World Premiere

Hey efurrybody, we're movie stars! Yes, its true. Our Uncle Tod gave Meowmy a camera that makes videos! Wasn't that nice of him? He said that he had a new camera and didn't use his old one anymore so he just gave it to her! So now we get to star in our own movies. So far we just have one but we would like to share it with you. We'll wait right here while you go get some nip or popcorn or something. Dum...te dum dum....are you back? Ok great, lets start the show!

So what did you think? Pretty cool right? Meowmy said that she didn't like her voice and that she is still learning how to use the camera but all in all it wasn't half bad, especially since there was no script and it was filmed on our back porch on a windy day. We hope you enjoyed it, til next time!

-Stryder & Scotchy

P.S. Today is the last day to vote for your favorite in the Halloween Floof Costume Contest. You have until 10 PM so don't delay!

Creepy Crawlies

So here I was last night minding my own business, my girl had been calling me and calling me to come in but I just wasn't ready to yet. She had come home from her weekend with Almost Dad and was wanting to snuggle with me but I was taking my time and making her wait. She should have figured that something was up cause I am normally waiting at her car door to escort her into the house when she gets home, I don't punish her for not being home, I'm happy she comes back.

Well she just couldn't wait (can you blame her?) so she scooped me up and took me to her room and let the loving commence. I got on her chest and got all scritched and scratched and pet and purred for a good 10 minutes and then it was off to the food bowl. When I jumped back up onto the bed I went to my corner and began my bath. About 5 licks into it I got up and turned my back on her, she just thought I was being discrete but I had a secret. And I left it for her on her blanket.

At first she didn't see it, she just thought it was a clump of fur but boy was she wrong. I had to focus all of my attention on it before she would investigate. My powers of mind control finally paid off cause she got off her duff and took a closer look. And guess what she found. A SLUG!! He he ha ha ha! Boy was she unhappy! Even after she removed the poor thing she still was looking all over for slimy things all night. I tried to spare her from it but she was just too impatient. I guess she got her Halloween trick a little early this year!

P.S. Voting has begun for the Halloween Floof Costume Contest, be sure to go cast your vote for your favorite post!

I Gots Nip Too!

Things That Go Bump In The Morning

I know I missed Tattletale Tuesday but this just happened and I HAD to share it.

This morning while my girl was in bed she rolled over to get more comfortable before going back to sleep. Well apparently this seemed like a good idea to stupid Stryder so he rolled over too. Only thing was that he was all snuggled up inside his favorite blanket and he didn't realize that he was on the edge of the bed.

First there was a loud thunk of claws trying to sink into mattress to hold him on. And then there was an even louder THUMP as he fell off anyway and bumped into the laundry hamper! He ran like a scardy cat straight to the door like someone was out to get him! Ha ha ha!

That's what you get for hogging my girl all to yourself at night. ::sticks out tongue::

She's crazy, that never happened. I don't know what she's talking about. Meowmy...did you tell Scotchy about my secret?
