Whiskers & Purrs

Operation Birthday Wish!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Elsie Fallulah Graves speakin'.  My birthday is on Wednesday, July 15th.  I will be 6 years old...a real growed up girl now!  I am very real excited!  I ain't tellin' everybody this just to git toys and Temptations and nips and kisses and tummy rubs...I mean...it would be nice to git all that stuff but...well...there's really only one thing I wants...

See...I love my Anderson Cooper.  I don't wants to marry him or nothin'...I mean, really now peoples...he's a BEAN!!!  EWWWWwwww...no, I don't wants to marry him but I just want to be his cat.  I think he is very smart and brave...and I just know he smells good!  I want to stay in his big fancy house in New York City and watch AC360 on his big flat screen TV and his mom will make me jeans and his maid will come and scratch my ears every half hour and feed me Temptations every 13 minutes and every 6 minutes she will kiss me on my face.  When my Anderson comes home real late after bein' on CNN, I will sing him my purry songs. 

But, see, mommy says that she wouldn't be able to go on without me here in the Whiskers & Purrs House.  She says I'm her favoritest girl in the whole world named Elsie Fallulah Graves and that, without me, she ain't sure she'd be able to make it.  So...I guess my hopes of bein' my Anderson Cooper's cat probably ain't gonna happen.    But I still love my Anderson Cooper...my only birthday wish is that he would know who I am and maybe Tweet me a Happy Birthday message on Twitter or send me a Happy Birthday note on Facebook or...maybe even leave me a comment on our bloggy.  Oh, dear peoples on the innernets, I would be the happiest girl in the world if he would!

So...I was thinkin' maybe you guys could help me at least try to git my Anderson Cooper's attention.  On Wednesday, do you think maybe you could help me fill up his Twitter page with Tweets 'bout wishin' me a happy birthday?  And maybe hit his Facebook page with LOTS of messages, too?  Oh, and maybe even hit his blog on CNN.com?  Please let me know if you might be willin' to help make my birthday dream come true...

OH, AND BY THE WAY...if we are successful at makin' my birthday wish come true...mommy said that The Whiskers & Purrs Gang will donate $500 to The Best Little Cathouse in Pennsylvania...remember that place?  It's the wonnerful sanctuary that took in our sweet Miss Molly Louise Graves.

So...please help us if you can...let us know if we can count on your help.  We'll post the full plan on Saturday if we git enough people sayin' they will help us.

Very truly yours,
Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves

Miss Elizabeth Taylor Lasers

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Miss Elizabeth Taylor speakin'.  Mommy had been workin' in the yard.  It was gittin' darks so I decided to help her out by turnin' on my lasers.  See...I am not always a mean girl...I can be nice when I want some Temptations...uh...I mean, when I want to.

Very truly yours,
Miss Elizabeth Taylor

Mazie Monday!

Havin' eyeballs that work sure can tire a girl out!

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin' and today is Monday...you know what that means...It's MAZIE MONDAY!!!  Oh sweet peoples, this past week has been so wonnerfuls!  I didn't git to tell you 'bout all that happened when I got to go see Unkle Doktor Blair last week...I must fill you in today!

See...me and mommy went in to see Doktor Blair to find out if my eyeballs were workin' after I had my big eyeball surgery a month ago.  When Unkle Doktor Blair walked in...he smiled real big at me and said "Hi cutie!"...I melted into a puddle of swoon when he said that...I got so flustertated that when he went to look at my eyeball, I couldn't open that secret eyelid all us kitties have...he tried and tried to git me to open it but I just couldn't do it.  So...Unkle Doktor Blair put some eyedrops in my eyeballs and BAM!  My secret eyelids opened!

When he looked deep into my eyeballs with his fancy equipment, Unkle Doktor Blair didn't really say much...he just said..."Ohhhhh....Oooooo...AHA!"  Well...mommy was 'bout to wet her pants 'cause she was so stressed out...she just wanted him to say 3 magical words...and then...well...it was all very dramaticals, dear peoples on the innernets...he looked at me and smiled and then it happened.  He said "Mazie can see!" 

Of course mommy gotted all 'motional and stuff.  I was very real embarrassed.  Unkle Doktor Blair said we still gots lots of eyedrops and visits to make sure everything is okay but...well, I CAN SEE!!!  Oh the stuff I've been seein' this past week!  I saw my very first ever BUNNY RABBIT!!!  I was a little bit worried that my fixed eyeballs was gonna pop outta my head when I saw Peter the Rabbit!  And, did you know that when you hear "tweet, chirp, tweet" that it ain't funny music or angels whistlin' a tune?  It's a little fuzzy critter with feathers and wings and a big pointy beak!!!  DANG!    I must say I am a little worried 'bout somethin'...whenevers I see either Peter the Rabbit or them little "tweety chirpy tweety" critters, my mouth starts waterin' and I start chatterin' and waggin' my tail real fast...I cannot control it.  Do you think that means somethin' is wrong?  Maybe the wirin' in my fancy eyeballs ain't right...please let me know what I should do.

And so, my dear friends on the innernets, that's all for this week's Mazie Monday.  I am very thankfuls for my eyeballs that can see and all of you.  Remember, when you walk into a room on Mazie Monday, your beans have to stop what they is doin' and hum "Hail to the Chief"!

Very truly yours,
Mazie Grace

Meet the Senator Sunday: Michael Jackson

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  It is now time for this week's edition of "Meet the Senator Sunday".  Today, dear peoples, I wants to talk 'bout the loss of Mr. Michael Jackson. 

When I first heard 'bout Mr. Jackson's passin', my first thought was "Michael Who?"...I ain't got the bestest long-term memories...but then mommy reminded me and we listened to some of his songs and I then realized that he was a very talented person.  Mr. Jackson, I am very real sorry you had such a sad life.  I just can't help but believe that if you hadn't been such a famous person, you would still be alive today and happy with your kids.  But you are gone now and, whether it was 'cause of drugs or not, I am sad that we will never hear your voice or see you dance again.

See, I unnerstand how stressfuls it can be to be so very famous and watched all the dang time.  Your passin' on to the great beyond has caused me to do a lot of thinkin'...and what with me bein' a big fancy Senator and all, I ain't got lots to think with so this is a big deal for me...I'm takin' one of your songs to heart, Mr. Jackson...see...I'm gonna make a change...for once in my life...before I gits into the same kind of troubles you had...and, it's gonna feel real good.  I'm gonna make a difference...I'm gonna make it rights.    See, Mr. Jackson, I'm startin' with the man in the mirror...I'm askin' him to change his ways.  See...that man in the mirror is gittin' on my last nerve.  If I move, he moves.  If I meow, he meows.  It's very much annoyin'.  I want him to stop...no message could be any clearer...I'm gonna git all sad and freaked out if he doesn't stop it.  Then, I'll have to start wearin' a mask when I inneract with my peoples and before you knows it...I'll be six feet under.  So...I'm askin' him to take a look at himselfs instead of me all the time and...CHANGE! 

I am gonna say prayers for your family and that you will finally be at peace, Mr. Jackson.   Godspeed.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Happy 4th of July!

Cuterer

Dearest peoples on the innernets,

This is Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie speakin'.  Mommy said that if I git any cuterer, she's not gonna be able to stand it and will probably need therapy and maybe even insulin shots 'cause of all my sweetness and stuff...dang...I hope I don't git any cuterer...who would open up our Fancy Feast cans if mommy goes all crazy and off the deep end and everything...?

Very truly yours,
Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie
