What's the Secret Password?

Hi.  This is Fergie, Miss Elizabeth Taylor and Coco Chanel a speakin'.  We just want to let anybody that plans on comin' to visit us know that you have to know the secret password 'fore we is gonna let you in our house.  If you don't know it, you can't come in.  There ain't no gettin' round it.  We gots a job to do and we do it real good.  So don't even think about tryin' to sneak by, cause we don't miss nothin'. 

Now that's not a sayin' we couldn't be tempted to look the other ways if you bringed us some Fancy Feast or Fresh Nips...we're just sayin', that's all...

Mrs. Lilly White Must Rest...

Hello.  This is Mrs. Lilly White a speakin'.  Well I just have to tell you all about my exhaustin' day.  I declare, I am so tired...a woman of my beauty and sopisstication must get their beauty rest.  I must start takin' it easy...I just can't keep up this hectic schedule.

First I started the day by stalkin' a very delightful can of Fancy Feast.  I worked really hard at yellin' at mommy to tell her to fix it for us so we could git it into our tummies.  Fussin' at mommy really burns a lot of calories.

Then, after I eated my breakfast, I just had to lay down on the perch and watch the rain drops hit the window.  I mean, it's a real important job to guard the house from nasty rain drops.  Then, after I did that, I had a little snack of crunchies.  You know, you burn a lot of calories crunchin' on crunchies.  So I took a little cat nap but it didn't last long...Coco walked by and twitched her tail the wrong way at me.  It was an invitation to kick her booty so I had to chase her through the house about 47 times. 

After that, I had to make a big stinky poop...needless to say, a lot of calories were burned there so...I had to eat some more Fancy Feast.  By that time, I was in a lovey dovey mood so I just HAD to snuggle with Felix.  I mean, really now, people, he's a man and I'm a woman...every once in a while we gotta get a little somethin' goin' on, if you know what I mean.

Well, after that, I had to take a scheduled beauty nap.  After about 5 hours, I waked up and needed to git me some more crunchies...beauty naps take an awful lot of a person.  I was just weared out.  But, of course, by then it was about time for supper...so I somehow mustered up the energy to drag myself downstairs for more Fancy Feast...mmmmm...tastey.

And now, the day is almost over...I am just exhausted.  I MUST git some rest after my very busy day.

Very truly yours,

Mrs. Lilly White

Takin' Keer Of Business

Well, Mommy did come back...finally.  We had just 'bout given up on ever seein' her agin.  But, she came draggin' her sorry self home a whole 9 days after she leaved us all by ourselfs.  We, of course, had to punish her real bad.  I mean, we've got to teach her to never ever do that agin. And, as if it wasn't bad enough that she leaved us, she came home with lots of boogers in her nose.  She was a sneezin' and snortin' all over the place.  Ewwwww!

We is just 'bout back to normal.  Here's a pikchur of Elizabeth Taylor on Duty...she has to protect us from them evil birdies and squirrels that are on the other side of the glass:

And here's a pikchur of Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie and Elizabeth Taylor on Double Duty...sometimes it takes two of us to protect the house:

And finally, here's a pikchur of Mazie Grace and Her Tongue...we're not real sure what she's doin' but...we never really are sure what Mazie Grace is doin' so...nothin' new here:
 

So, everything is back to normal at our house. 

Very truly yours,

The Graves' Kids

Robert "Buzzy" Randolph Simon Graves III Speaks Out

Hi.  This is Buzzy speakin'.  I know I haven't said a whole lot since I moved into this place.  I just wanted to say that I agree with Lucy.  I think Mommy does a lot for us...man oh man, I love it when she scratches my stuff! 

I really LOVE LOVE LOVE my supper, too!  She unnerstands that I don't like to eat in front of anybody so she even brings me my supper unnerneath the bed.  I think she really really loves us...I mean, that nice lady at SOS...I think that stands for Save Our Shelters and I think her name was Peggy...really liked me a lot.  And, I know that Aunt Sally and Uncle John loved me lots...they fondly referred to me as "Lap Fungus"...BUT, I'm purty  extra-sure that Mommy loves me more than anybody in the whole entire wild world.  Now that's BIG!

Plus, she also unnerstands that I'm still a little scared so I jump up on her lap and then off of her lap, on, off, on, off, on, off...for at least 37 times in a row.  It don't make her mad at all.  In fakt, I think she might like this little game.  I think I'll do it for ever and ever!

Now I know there's a lot of stuff she could do better...the poop box is never ever clean enough, for exzample.  Oh, and sometimes all of us sprinkle the litterbox stuff that we dig in all over the floor and she forgits to clean it up.  And sometimes it takes her FOREVER to bring us our supper after we've had a hard day at work. But, dang, even with all of that, I think we should keep her.

Mommy, thanks for lovin' us and leavin' us that nice letter.  I'm sorry Lilly had to go start talkin' bout poop.  She shoulda said "thanks" first.

Okay, gotta go make out wiff Mazie Grace!

Love,

Robert "Buzzy" Randolph Simon Graves, III   

It's Just Me...Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie!

Hello to all the people in the world.  My name is Georgie P. Puddinandpie.  This is my first time sharing my wisdom and handsomeness with you.  I'm a little bit shy, but, once you get me goin', I can be a bit of a wild man.

I love the ladies.  Well, I particularly like one of the girls in my house.  Her name is Elsie Fallulah.  HUBBA HUBBA!  Dang...she is hot!  Me and her kiss a lot.  Here's a picture of Elsie...she's a real looker!

Sometimes Elsie flips me over on my back and then gives me lots and lots of kisses.  At first I was scared when she would do that but now...well...I kinda like it!  She is truly a woman of the new millenium!  I like a woman that goes after what she wants and I can tell you...sometimes Elsie REALLY wants to kiss me!  We have lots of fun!

That's it for now...nothing really exciting goin' on today.  I'm hopin' me and Elsie and can kiss some tonight...after all...it is a Saturday night!!!

Love and purrs,

Georgie P. Puddinandpie  >^..^< 

Happy New Year from Mademoiselle Coco Chanel

 

A Message From Felix the Wonder Cat

To all the very nice people in the world, I wanted to say hello. Mommy says I get to be the first to write my profound thoughts on our new site. She says I'm a gift from heaven and that I have helped her learn lots and lots of lessons. So, if I can teach her, she says I can probably teach other people, too.

I used to live on the streets. I didn't have anybody to love me. I was so afraid when storms would come. I didn't have any place safe to go. And, I was SO hungry. I was all alone. But one day, I heard somebody calling me. It was a yellow boy that lived on Huntsomemore Drive. (That street name is perfect for me 'cause I was a GREAT hunter!). He was sittin' in the doorway of this little white house wiff lots of flowers in front of it. He said his name was Ricky Eugene Graves and that he needed me to take over for him. See, he was real sick. He had cancer and his tummy hurt real bad all the time. Real soon he would be goin' to heaven. He was the man of the house and he needed somebody that would be willin' to watch over his wife/sister Lucy, little sister Elsie Fallulah, and little brother Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves, III. Most importantly, he said I had to take care of his mom. He loved her wiff all of his heart and didn't want to leave her alone. He said he would allow me to move in if I promised to make sure everybody was alright and make sure his mommy knew she was loved. So I said I'd take on the job...He said he'd be watchin' over us from heaven and that he would kick my butt-tocks good if I didn't do a good job. He said he'd give me a signal when it was time to move inside.

His mom made sure I had LOTS of Fancy Feets to eat. (One day I eated 12 cans of Fancy Feets...all in just ONE DAY!!!) I sleeped in the bushes every night and showed up on the front porch of the little white house every mornin'.

So, one day, Ricky's mom came home. She was cryin' real bad. I walked up to her and put my paws up for her to pick me up. I gave her lots of head butts and drooled all over her. She said the yellow boy had gone on to heaven. I knew that was my signal...time to take over. Next thing I knew, I was livin' in the house.

Since then, lots of little people have moved into our house. I'm the dad to everybody. Plus, I make sure my new mom knows that I'm very thankful for a home and I always make sure she knows that I love her. (I even walk on her bad back when she's sleepin'!!! She says it makes her feel better.) What mom doesn't know is that Ricky visits with me and the little kids every day. He really does watch over us. At night he flies down from heaven and curls up next to mommy while she's asleep.

So, we're just one happy family that lives on Huntsomemore Drive. Mommy says I ain't spellin' that right but it don't matter...it's the perfect place for me to call home!

Love, purrs and lots of drool,
Felix The Wonder Cat
