Whiskers & Purrs

Freaky Furs

To all the peoples on the innernets, this is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Today I want to let you all know that I gots somethin' mommy calls "Freaky Furs".  See, I am very odd in many ways...I see stuff that nobody else sees, I poop in very strange places and sometimes I bark like a seal instead of meowin' like the glorious cat that I am. 

I'm also kinda odd 'cause my furs are kinda magical...see, sometimes my furs look like they are a dark smokey gray color.  But, if you rub my furs in the opposite direction, they looks like they are silvery white.  It's just magical how that happens.

Yep, I gots me some freaky furs.  Mommy says it's just another reason that she and all the ladies love me.  I am The Hotness!

Very truly yours,

Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III - What Makes Me Me!

To all the peoples on the innernets, this is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Today I will respond to a request for a meme from my dear friend Rocky at ArtsyCatsy.  It is a very innerestin' meme and one I think you will all find to be very invigoratin' and delightful.  Here is the rules:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name.  (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden anme or your mother's maiden name.)
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name.  (Be sure to leave a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

Well, right off the bat, we gots a problem.  Has you seen my name?  Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III.  Which one is the middle one???  I am just gonna take a guess and say "Edward" is my middle name.  Otherwise...we will be here all day with me tryin' to figure out 'nuff words to describe myself.

E - I don't likes to EAT.  Well, that ain't exactly right...I just forgits to eat.  Mommy has said many times that I would've been dead a long time ago if I had to be on my own...I ain't sure if that's a compliment or not...but, anyways...I don't like wet food...Ewwww...I do likes my crunchies but I forgit when I'm hungry sometimes.  Sometimes mommy has gots to syringe feed me just to make sure I gits 'nuff suppers in my tummies.  I do like it when she syringe feeds me AD in a can.  Mmmm...I won't eats it on my own but when she puts it in my mouth...Mmmmm...I purr real loud and give her headbutts and slurp and slurp and slurp!!!

D - Uh, I have heard mommy describe me as "the DUMBEST livin' aminal on the earth".  Again, I ain't sure if thats a compliment or not.  At least I'm the best at somethin'...I'm just kinda in slow motion.  I likes to take my time in figurin' stuff out.  Ain't nothin' wrong with that...Do I wanna walk into the room or outta it?  Hmmm...let me think 'bout that for 'bout 45 minutes and I will let you know.  I don't unnerstand why that makes me dumb.  I mean, I'mma important Senator, for Pete's sake...I must make my decisions carefully 'cause there's just so much at stake.

W - WOMENS...I gots me lots of 'em.  What with me bein' a Senator and all, I gots the ladies lined up outside my door every single day.  Power has a way of attraktin' the babes...and I do like me the babes.

A - I gots me some ALLERGIES that make my eyes all runny and goopy pritty much alla the time.  I think I'm allergic to cats.   For some reason, mommy don't believe me.  Sometimes I likes to shake my head real fast and sling my eye drippies all over mommy.  It's my way of showin' her my special love.

R - I think it's real important for you all to know that I REFUSE to poop in the litter box.  I ain't tryin' to make a pawlitical statement by doin' this...I just prefer to do my business outsida the box.  That's it.  Don't fuss at me.  It's my pawlicy and I ain't willin' to change it.

D - Mommy says that even with all my very special needs...ya know...poopin' outsida the box, eye drippies, mental challenges, etc.,...I am very much a DELIGHT and one of the bright spots of her day.  She loves me for who I am...just like all them other womens in my life.

Life. Is. Good. People!

So...these are just a few things that make me me...Now, I is gonna tag the followin' wonnerful peoples:
Poppy Q
Fat Eric
Sanjee
Parker
Tybalt
Chance

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

Advice for Senators Clinton and Obama

Hi.  This is Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III speakin'.  Please disregard the dirty window I'mma lookin' out of...mommy ain't the best housekeeper in the world.  It's a real shame.

Today I would like to share some advice with my peers, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Barrack Obama.  First of all, y'all ain't doin' so good in the playin' nice in the sandbox game...Mommy says if you two lived in our house, you would have to go to the Spare Bedroom Prison for some timeouts until you learned better. One thing I have learned is that it just ain't worth your time hissin' and spittin' at your opponents...just swat 'em one time upside the head and then walk away.  I fondly refer to that as "killin' 'em wiff kindness". 

Secondly, after years and years of experience in pawatiks, I can tell you that these last days of the 'lekshun process is hard.  Be sure to take time for yourselffs.  Ignore the polls every once inna while and just sit back, sniff some nip (but don't let Rush Dumbo or them creeps on Fox News know 'bout it!), maybe do a little yoga and try to unwind.  I do this regularly...I was catched a few times by them pesky reporters but it didn't hurt my very important career none at all.

And, finally, as always, be sure to continue thinkin' outsida the box.  This one approach is what keeps me in my senatorial seat.  Mommy is so impressed with my creative poopin' skills and my ability to find unique place to express my creative tinklin' abilities...quite honestly, the whole "thinkin' outsida the box" thing will be my legacy.  I'm sure it can be for you, too.

That's it for now.  Gotta go tinkle in the kitchen sink.

Very truly yours,
Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves Actually Uses the Litter Box

RICHMOND, Virginia (Cat News Network) -- The Cat News Network (CNN) has just received breaking news that Senator Henry Jackson Edward Graves III (D-VA) has actually used the litterbox instead of taking a whizz on the floor.  Sources close to the Senator told CNN "Dang...I've lived here since December and I ain't never seen Henry use the litter box.  He usually just let's 'er rip wherever he is and mommy hasta come clean it up.  Dang...this has me a little spooked!  Maybe the world is gonna end...I'm skeerd!"

Local papparrazzi caught Graves in the litter box around 3:45 pm.  Upon realizing he was being photographed, the Senator high-tailed it out of the box as fast as he could.

Graves has a long history of battling his mommy regarding litterbox issues.  Stating that he prefers to "do my thinkin' outsida the box", Graves has found very creative avenues to express himself: mommy's pillow, mommy's clothes, the water bowl, the bottom of the stairs, smack-dab in front of the door, etc.  Today's development in the bathroom habits of the Senator could signal a change in his policy and possibly a switch in parties.  CNN will keep you up to date on these rapidly changing events as we receive new information.  Stay tuned for more breaking news.
