What's Your Name, Pussycat?

To all the peoples on the innernets,

We are so excited!  We was tagged by our very good friends, Sammy & Miles, to tell y'all about our names.  This is called a MEME.  Here's the rules...

1. Post a link to the kitty who tagged you...in our case, it was Sammy & Miles...and post the rules on your blog.
2. List your real name, how you got your real name, nicknames you like/tolerate and nicknames you wish your humans would stop calling you.
3. Tag several kitties and write a comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged. 

It's that easy!  So, here it goes:

Hi.  This is Buzzy speakin'.  My real name is Mr. Buzzy Randolph Graves III.  I ain't got no nicknames other than Buzz-o-licious, Fuzzy Buzzy and Buzzy Bear and I would rather have Aunt Doktor Dugan stick a thermomotator into my you-know-what than be called any of them names.

Hi.  My real name is Mademoiselle Coco Chanel.  I am beautiful and oh, so very shy!  An acceptable nickname that I have is "Coco the PussyCat".  One that is absolutely, positively NOT acceptable is "Loco Coco".  That is insultin' to a woman of high-caliber such as my fine pussycat self.  Another one that I will not even acknowledge is "Cuckoo Coco".  I will tinkle on the pillow of anyone that dares to call me such an insultin' name!

Hi to all you peoples on the innernet!  It's 'bout time I gots to write somethin' on this here blog.  My real name is Miss Elsie Fallulah Graves.  My friends and mommy call me "Fallulah".  I ain't got no nicknames - good nor bad.  I'm just Elsie Fallulah.  When I was borned, I only had me one nose hole and a big ol' honkin' tooth stickin' outta my mouth like a unicorn's horn.  Mommy gots my nose and my teeth fixed...I didn't need to git my bosoms fixed though...they is just fine...all 37 of 'em!  Hubba Hubba!

My name is Miss Elizabeth Taylor.  The nicknames I think are just fine are "Hotness", "Sweet Thang", "Sexpot", "Hubba Hubbaness"...you git my drift!   Sometimes I will answer to "Elizabiff Taylor"...not everyday...just on the days I feel like it.  But I'm tellin' you...do NOT call me just "Elizabeth"...my name is "Elizabeth Taylor"...you can't use one name without the other. 

Hi.  My name is Felix the Magical Cat.  That is my real name.  When mommy first meeted me, she was callin' me "Lord Leonard of the Land of Fancy Feast"...can you imagine???  I finally gots her to unnerstand that my name is Felix and to not EVER NEVER call me that Lord Leonard mess again!  My favoritist nickname is "Studly One".  And, all them little girls in the house call me "Mr. Big"...hubba hubba!  But, only the little girls can call me that...definitely NOT mommy!  Ewwww...

Hi.  My name is Fergie the Duchess of Huntsmoor.  I'mma beautiful redheaded girl.  Acceptable nicknames are Mrs. Fergie Fergison and Fergolicious.  It is not acceptable to EVER NEVER EVER to call me Ferg.  Felix and only Felix can call me "Miss Hot Thang"...Hubba Hubba!

Y'all all know me!  I'm Mr. Freddy Astaire Graves III!  I started out with Aunt Doktor Dugan and all them nice people that work with her callin' me "Sprout"...then mommy started callin' me Richie.  Well, none of them was right!  I'm Freddy!!!  An acceptable nickname is "Ready Freddy"...a not so acceptable nickname is "Mr. Stinky Stinkerson"...I can't help it if I have gots to pass gas!  Do NOT make fun of me 'cause of my signature scent!!!

Hello.  My name is Mr. Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie.  All my friends call me either Georgie or Georgie P.  My nickname is "little shy boy".  I don't like it.  No, I don't like it at all.  I am shy but I ain't little and I ain't a boy...I'm a man, dang it!  Oh, and by the way, when I kiss the girls, I don't make 'em cry!  I likes me some women and they like me, too!  Hubba Hubba!

This here is your Senator speakin'...Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III.  Nicknames I like are Mr. Senator, Senator, The Royal Elected One and Your Majesty.  Names I don't like is Hank, Hey You and Doofus...although, I will answer to ANYTHING you might want to call me.

Hi. My name is Jimmy Durante Graves III.   I gots my name 'cause I gots me a big nose.  Mommy says my name fits me PERFIKTLY.  My favorite nicknames is Jimmy-Jimmy, Jiminy Cricket and Jimmy Changas.  I absolutely HATE to be called "Mr. Tooty Tooterson"...I can't help if I gots to pass some gas every once in a while...Stop embarassin' me, mommy!

Hello to everyone on the innernets.  My name is Mrs. Lilly White.  I do not gots me a nickname.  There are no other acceptable names for me accept "Mrs. Lilly White".  Sometimes mommy calls me "Silly Lilly".  That is absolutely postividly not okay.  How dare anyone call me silly!  I am a proper lady.  Plus, you must ALWAYS call me by my full name...which is, of course, Mrs. Lilly White.

My name is Miss Mazie Grace.  I started life out as "Nellie".  See, I was/am blind and I keeped runnin' into walls and stuff.  My foster mom and dad had to keep sayin' "Whoa, Nellie" everytime I'd fall off of or walk into somethin'.  But, then I had my eyeball operation and now I can sorta kinda almost see.  So, my mommy named me Mazie Grace...cause I once was blind but now I can see...git it???  Amazing Grace???!!!  Please do not every ever NEVER call me Crazy Mazie.  I will scratch your eyes out if you do.

We is now taggin' the followin' wonnerful pusscats:

We Gots Into Trouble!

Dear Peoples on the Innernets,

This is Mazie Grace speakin'.  We is in trouble.  Dang.  See, every night all of us cats cuddle up with mommy.  She thinks it's 'cause we wanna be with her and snuggle with her...well...that ain't 'zactly right.  See, we knows that as soon as mommy goes to sleep, we can play and do all them things she tells us not to do...'cause what mommy don't know won't hurt her...or us, right?  So we do everything we can to encourage her to go to the sleepy man's house and snooze!

Well, last night was just like all them other ones.  Mommy got into bed, turned the TV on and started nittin'.  She don't like us playin' with the strings she uses.  In fact, believe it or not, she fusses at us when we try to chew on or play with her strings!  That don't 'zactly seem right to us and it makes us mad, but that's a whole other story for another day.  Anyways...we did our usual purrin' and headbuttin' and snugglin' up next to her in the hopes she would go on to sleeps...IT WORKED!  See, mommy sleeps like a dead person and don't hear nothin'.  So, we can swing from the chandeliers if we want and she will never know it!  And, let me tell you, last night was one fine party at the Whiskers & Purrs house!  Dang...we breaked out the nip and everything! 

This mornin' when mommy waked up, we heard "WHAT IN THE WORLD!  WHO DID THIS???" bein' screamed from her bedroom...somebody must've gotted themselves over the Nip Legal Limit and went plum crazy.  All them strings that mommy had been nittin' was a big ol' fuzzy mess.  It was very dramatical.  She is real real REAL mad.  She said she was sure it was me, Jimmy and Freddy 'cause we is "always doin' stuff like this"...uh, 'xcuse me...ain't everybody innoncent until proved guilty??? 

We just all meeted unnerneath the dinin' room table.  We have decided that the best thing is to stay outta her way all day, but if we gots to run into mommy, we gots to look real pitiful and cute.  Oh, and we gots to purr real loud any time we see her.  That always gits her.

I wonner if any other kitties git into trouble like we do...if you have any suggestions as to how we can manage our mommy better, please let us know.

Very truly yours,
Mazie Grace

Very truly yours,

Mazie Grace

A Real Busy Saturday Mornin'

Hi.  This Georgie Porgie Puddinandpie a speakin'.  We is REAL busy today.  You can tell by the serious look on our faces.  We don't have time for foolishness. 

Elizabeth, you is goofin' off...we got stuff to do...STOP IT!

Just 'cause you is pretty don't mean you can goof off...we gots a whole house to patrol and protect.  Plus, we got all kinds of bugs and squirrels and chipmunks to git rid of and you gotta do your part.  Bein' pretty don't mean nothin'....DID YOU HEEAAARRR ME???

<SIGH>...Findin' good help is real hard these days...

Stuff

Hi.  Yesterday was fun.  The mail lady bringed us a package from some place called England.  Mommy was real xcited when she gots home.  We don't know where England is but stuff from there sure smells funny.  We had to 'vestigate it real good to make sure we approved of the stuff in the box.  It was just a bunch of strings that mommy buyed...she is so weird.

Here's a picture of the Senator checkin' out the paper the box was wrapped in:

Oh, and, Mazie Grace had to check it all out, too:

Then, Elizabeth Taylor had to inspect some of the strings 'cause she was worried that somethin' might be wrong with 'em.

So, after all of the hard inspectin' work, we finally approved everything.  Mommy can keep it.  Of course, we fully intend to git our hands on every one of them balls of strings and shred 'em to pieces.  It was nice of mommy to order us them fancy strings all the way from England.

While all of the inspectin' work was a goin' on in the den, Lucy was busy gettin' ready for a photo shoot:

But, mommy was takin' too long with her fancy new camera so Lucy decided to take a nice cozy, purry kind of nap!

And then, as mommy was a walkin' by, she noticed how very extra cute Elsie Fallulah is...so she just had to snap this pikchur:

And THEN, with all the commotion a goin' on, Buzzy decided to make an appearance!

He even got brave enough to venture out for mommy to take a pikchur of him!

Okay, that's it for now.  Gotta go lick some stuff.

I'm Still Worried!

I don't keer what you say, Lilly, I'm stressed out...how could she leave us for that long???  Who will feed us all of our favorite Fancy Feast flavors?  Who will clean up our vomit?  Who will Felix tinkle on? 

I'm so upset...anybody gots any nips???








Lilly, you is startin' to suck too...you make me want to vomit.  Who keers if you're pretty?

Mommy Sucks...Who Really Cares?

Hi.  This is Mrs. Lilly White.  Yes, it is true that mommy sucks.  But, I am beautiful.  Who really cares if mommy is here or not?  My beauty is enough to sustain all of us.

We Is On Strike

To all the peoples in the whole world, this is Fergie a speakin'.  Me and all my brothers and sisters have decided to go on strike.  That's why we ain't a been postin' to this here blog.  Mommy don't know that we know but...we finded out that she is going to be leavin' us for 8 whole days and nights.  She sucks.

So...we have decided for 8 whole days and nights that we ain't a gonna talk with her, rub up aginst her, watch her outta the window when she leaves us in the mornin's, purr for her...I think you git my drift.  She's gonna see what it's like to be abandoned. 

While she is gone, every one of us is gonna pretend that we is deadly sick...really close to dyin'.  That'll show her, won't it?  I'm so upset about this, I need to go take a nap...I only got 23.25 hours of sleepin' in today...a full-figured woman like me needs her beauty rest...mommy's cuttin' in to my nap time.  Mommy sucks!

Stanley's In A Box!

So...we was all snoozin' this afternoon after workin' pretty hard at our jobs all mornin' and all.  We was really gettin' into the best part of dreamin' when we heard a big BANG!  So we all jumped and runned and paced back and forth for a while.  We looked out the window and guess what we saw...Stanley the Squirrel had fallen for the oldest trick in the book...he let the temptation of a few pitiful seeds wear down his willpower and NOW HE'S LIVIN' IN A BOX...he went into the trap!  Now he's not livin' in our attic anymore.

And, let me tell ya...Stanley is one stylin' dude... CLICK HERE...YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT!!!
