    Hi, Mr. Hobbes! Its me, Sophie! I want to tell you that I think you are as handsome as Mom thinks Viggo Mortensen is! And that is saying a lot, I can tell you.

    I especially love your eyes, with their dark outline, and your nice shiny coat. Good grooming habits are very important. Do you let your mom brush you? I sorta let mine, but only when I am in the mood, and even then, I am a big butthead about it.

    I'm so happy because now we get to be friends! Does that mean we can act like a couple of nutcases like our moms do? =^..^=

    Hiya, Trena! Sorry your comments were disabled onna blog today! Happened to my Mum the other day! It's aggravating.

    Queen Sophie, you make my heart flutter!! Thank you! Hmmm, I'm a little sensitive on my flanks, so I'm not terribly keen on being brushed there, but I LOVE when Mom gives me her devoted attention!

    NUTCASES??? YOU BETCHA!! HAHA! I 'aint got almond eyes for NUTTIN! ROFL! POUNCE!

    What a handsome lad! He cleans up pretty good! It looks like he likes to have his picture taken too. Looks like settling down suits him well. Mr Hobbes--you found a good Mommy, you are very lucky!

    Hi Mr. Hobbes. You're one great looking cat. You're a "cat of many colors".

    SueLynn you and your cake look great. Thanks for the pictures.

    Oh Mr. Hobbes, I wish you could see yourself on my computer. Your picture is the wallpaper on my computer and covers almost the hold area. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!

    Julie, thank mew! My Mom feeds me well and gives me love and affection and grooms me and gives me catnip and gives me long body rubs from Granmarnie and got me some toys (I NEED MORE) and looks after me really WELL! And to think I waited so long to zero in on her at the Apartment complex! Pft! You can come over and give me affection ANY TIME YOU LIKE! :) You're a NICE friend! I like your lil scooter... is it fun?

     

  • At 4/27/2006 5:39 AM, Blogger Sue-Lynn TX said…

    GRANMARNIE!!!!! I wondered when you'd get here!! Woohooo! I'm gonna rub around your legs and hop into your lap and knead your belly and look into your eyes and purrr and then I'm gonna flop down on my back so you can gimme long rubs on my tummy!!! Can I catch your hands too?? I'm SO glad you put me on your computer as wallpaper... now you can gaze at me and see how mesmerizing my eyes are and I can gaze at your friendly face ALL the time! :)
    My Mom says thank you for looking at our pics and said to tell you that she tinted for years because she started going "silver" from the age of 16! Then she decided to stop and cut the tint out (3 cuts in 3 weeks!!!) She's got more silver than most of her older cousins!!!

    Hi, Mr. Hobbes! Its me, Sophie! =^..^=

    I'm glad that you won't mind if I act nuts. I do that most of the time. I like to run around the house very fast, and sometimes I lose traction and I look like a crab scuttling around on the floor. Mom thinks its funny, but its actually a little embarrassing. I'm supposed to be a CHEETAH, after all!

    I hope your Mom is feeling better today. I know she was very tired yesterday, and she must be in peak condition to take care of you. Do you suppose she would enjoy one of your catnip toys to munch on?

    Meow! =^..^=

    Howdy, Your Royal Highness, Queen Sophie-Cat!! I do INDEED relate to going nuts. Just watch ME when I think someone is going to the door! Doesn't really matter what I'm doing, I up and BOLT and stare up at the doorhandle LOVINGLY and INTENTLY so that it will OPEN!! Then I can bound outside and catch little innocent unsuspecting BIRDS to bring to Your Royal Highness! After All, I AM Mr. Hobbes, Cat of Cats, Stalker, Pouncer, Bring-a-Prezzie-Home-to-your-Pet, kinda Cat! And, that being said, I have IMPECCABLE manners!

    Now, you DO Look like a Cheetah at heart, Queen Sophie... I can see it in your eyes!! I think, in a past life, I was an Egyptian Pharoah Cat, revered by all!! Don't you just see it in MY eyes??

    MROWR!
    (actually sometimes I really think I am Puss-in-Boots HIMSELF!!)

    Wanna give me one of Granmarnie's long slow body rubs??

    Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Hi, Mr. Hobbes, this is Angel and although I don't have a recent photo this is still me here telling you that you sure are a cute kitty just like me!!!!

    My mom thinks you are a handsome kitty also.

    If I were there I would play with you and we would have a great time and be great friends!!

    Love,
    Angel

    Hullo, you 'lil Angel, you! Welcome to my part of the world! Yeehaaa! This is TEXAS! I'm the cat honcho around here. I am sure Queen Sophie and Angel Kitty and I can all play ALLLLLL OVERRRRR the house! Woohoooo! We can bound around the lounge, race up and down the stairs, jump up onto the bookcases by the window and look down on unsuspecting visitors! We can also hide under the bushes and CATCH those fluttery 'lil feathery creatures Mom calls BIRDS, but they have LOTS of other names as well! There are some "birds" that look more like insects and they fly around the hanging bottles Mom has near the front door! THOSE are FASCINATING! Woohooo... life is GOOD! I don't think, however, that Mom likes it if I actually CATCH them and PLAY with them!! Humans are SO weird!!

    HEY, Mom bought me these soft round little objects (I think it's called a BALL) and one is green and one is blue! I love to "hiney-wiggle" as Queen Sophie calles it, all hunkered down and eyes and ears pointed WELL forward, and LAUNCH myself at them! I like to bat them around! Sometimes, one WON'T LET GO of my CLAW! I try to shake it off! Feels weird, and Mom laughs at me to see a green or blue ball hanging of my paw, and me shaking it to make it LET GO! *Pft*

    CATNAPPIN: I found the e-mail about giving a cat a pill! Woohoo! It's really funny and I take NO responsibility for the language contained therein!! I'm glad I found it and can share it with all my visitors!! :)

    How To Give A Cat A Pill

    1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

    2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process.

    3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

    4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

    5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden.

    6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

    7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.

    8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

    9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink 1 beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.

    10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard, and close door on to neck, to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

    11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss back another shot. Throw T-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.

    12. Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil wrap.

    13. Tie the little bastard's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy-duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of filet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

    14. Consume remainder of scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.

    15. Arrange for SPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

    How To Give A Dog A Pill

    1. Wrap it in bacon.
    2. Toss it in the air.

    Well, Mr. Hobbes, I can't wait to play with you and Queen Sophie!! We can play all the games you mentioned. Also, my mom buys me those spiral, colourful things that I just love and they are my favourite toys from all the toys I have. I just look, wiggle my cute butt and pounce on one that I see somewhere in front of me and belt it around the room!! What fun!!!!! When I come to play at your house, I will bring you some as a present and I know you will just loooove them!!!

    I just can't wait!!! My mom, also buys me all kinds of toys. You should see the livingroom floor!! You would think I was the only one who lived here, sort of....I also love jumping into boxes and peeking my head out!!

    Bye for now, Mr. Hobbes and tell your mom that she is a very special lady to take care of you and love you, especially when your other family didn't do such a good job....Tell your mom that she has a heart of gold!!!!

    Love and many licks to you,
    Angel

    Woohoo… oboy, oboy! Angel is gonna come and play! YAY! You and me and Sophie can all go NUTS! Wahoo… this *IS* Texas! Sounds like your Mom loves you to bits too, Angel, and spoils you rotten! Lucky puss! I like the sound of your toys, and when my Mom starts earning real money, she’s gonna buy me a bunch too! :D HEY, I’d like to see you wiggle your cute butt and pounce on that toy! Maybe we can bat it around to each other! LOL.

    Boxes?? I WANT A BOX! My Mom tried a big paper shopping bag, but I didn’t quite get the hang of it ‘cause it wouldn’t stay open! *Pft* I want a box… have you seen Frere Max’ box?? He’s got a HEINEKEN box! My Mom and hubby don’t drink though! RATS!

    Thanks for the sweet words about my Mom! I think I really DID land with my paws in the butter, so to speak! LOL. Your Mom sounds like the Angel that YOU are, and Sophie’s Mom sounds like Heaven, too! Sophie’s Mom has a fabulous house sitter to look after Sophie while her Mom and Dad are in TURKEY! I want some TURKEY! Do I have to wait ‘till FRIDAY????

    Hey, do you know that Frere Max’s Mom wears Max like a scarf? He wraps himself around her neck ALL the TIME! I’m not into scarfing (unless it’s scarfing food down,) but I like to sit on my Mom’s lap from time to time and knead her tummy and purrrrr! I have my OWN chair! It’s burgundy, but Mom covered it with towels so she can wash the hair off the towels easier than get my delightful fur off the chair! LOL! Humins!

    I like the love and the licks! ‘Mmmm! Love and licks to you too, Angel!
    BIGHUGS to your Mom!
    Mr. Hobbes

    Sue-Lynn, you sure did clean up that kitty!! Mr. Hobbes is a mighty fine looking feline. Or as Cooper would say, "That's a 5 outta 5 sniffer right there!" :)
