Kellie The Orange Cat

Tabbylicious Tuesday

2008-10-07T10:20:00.004-07:00

On Monday nights my Mum and I watch Project Runway, which inspired todays blog title. We both love Project Runway! We are always sure to watch the US version, the Canadian version and the British version which is called Project Catwalk.

I believe the US Project Runway is run later in Canada than in the US, so if anyone knows who won, please don't tell us. Last year we accidently found out who won and it was devastating.

Now, how many of you would whap the guy that keeps saying "licious". I find him quite annoyalicious! Ha, ha, ha.

P.S. They should have an episode designing cat clothes.

Ch..ch...chilly outside

2008-10-06T10:44:00.002-07:00

It is getting chillier out, so I thought I should make the most of my time out on MY deck this weekend. Sometimes I had to sit on the couch with my feets all tucked up under me to stay warm, but it was still wonderful out there.

Now is the time when my Mum starts limiting my time outside because she doesn't want to leave the cat door open for me. She says it is too cold and also there have been those few times that an intruder bat has made it onto MY deck and I have brought it inside for Mum, she doesn't even appreciate the presents I bring her, sheesh!

Feline Friday

2008-10-03T11:34:00.003-07:00

It is Feline Friday and I think it very important that all felines be able to do exactly what they want!

Here I am looking out the window, peering at the great outdoors. Since it is Feline Friday I am sure that my Mum is going to open up the door and let me roam around the neighbourhood. "What Mum?" - "Ohhhhhhh, how come?" - "I promise to come back when you call ; ) " - "Oh, now I am mad, what is the point of a Feline Friday if you can't get your own way!".

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Things My Mum has said to me this week

2008-10-02T11:07:00.006-07:00

There seems to be 4 main conversations we have.

First, there are the mushy things Mummy's say to you....

1. How's my Kellie Bellie doing today, give Mummy some smooches.

2. Oh! Look at that pretty tummy - let Mummy snorgle your pretty tummy.

3. Who's the prettiest girl in the world? Yes, it's you!

4. Look at your cute little face, what a cutie patootie.......

Secondly, there are the conversations when she is mean and says "No".....

5. No, you can't have anymore treats! Stop whining...........

6. Yah No, do you really think meowing at the door is going to get you outside? You are an inside cat silly girl.

Thirdly, there are the conversations that start "Don't even think about........."

7. Don't even think about jumping up there, No, No, No.......Oh Kellie! Okay, if you are going to be up there be a good girl and don't knock anything off.

8. Don't even think about laying on my black sweater before I go to work. No, No, No......Oh Kellie! Sigh.....

And Fourthly, there are the conversations that start "Oh Kellie......."

9. Oh Kellie, do you have to lie across my neck like that - you are choking me!

10. Oh Kellie, do you have to lick EVERY visitors toes!

11. Oh Kellie, stop sniffing Grandpa's feet, you have such a foot fetish!

12. Oh Kellie, watch your tail, you are going to get your tail in the bath water....

13. Oh Kellie, do you have to lay across the keyboard....

Wordless Wednesday - Hanging out on my Hammick

2008-10-01T10:51:00.001-07:00

My Gizzy Quilt hides my Temptations

2008-09-30T11:15:00.003-07:00

My Mum loves to give me my Temptations on my Gizzy Quilt. I'm not complaining...okay actually I am, I can't see the darn treats when they are on my Bizzy Gizzy : ) Does anyone else have this problem? I have to go sniffing around the whole quilt to locate them, sigh. I guess I shouldn't complain, at least I get my wonderful Temptations : )

Brrrrr.....It is getting colder

2008-09-29T11:33:00.002-07:00

Brrrr....it is getting colder here, Fall is definately in the air. I love having my furs brushed, but I'm wondering if I might need all them furs now that it is getting cold!?

Tabby Tuesday

2008-09-15T23:18:00.008-07:00

Take that nip nanner! You can't get away from me now!
My Mum says she wishes this picture of me and my nanner wasn't taken on her fat tummy, but I told her her squishy tummy is very good to make biscuits on - she liked that.

Farewell Sweet Pixie

2008-09-15T10:14:00.004-07:00

I was very sad to hear that Pixie went to the Bridge. I know Daisy and her Mommie and Daddie will miss Pixie greatly, just as all of us will.

Pixie had the most beautiful grey coat and was the only cat I know that eats bananar's. Godspeed sweet Pixie.

Frustrating Friday

2008-09-12T20:04:00.006-07:00

Don't I look frustrated!?

Okay, you are right - it isn't me that is frustrated - it is my Mum. On the 2nd of September my Mum had surgery to create a fistula for dialysis - this past Tuesday she found out that the fistula doesn't work and she has to go through another surgery to have another one created, sigh. This will be her 3rd fistula surgery - both of the first two didn't work. She is very frustrated, but I help her out by being goofy and making her laugh, like in the pictures below. My cousin Shauna is also helping me cheer Mum up.

Where the heck did that nip-nanner go?

Ahhhh......that's the spot - keep scritchin right there Shauna

I'm Back !!!!

2008-09-05T11:15:00.003-07:00

Whew, I am finally back - Mum and I have had a very crazy August. Here are a few highlights:

- The Auditors came for a week at Mum's work - keeping her insanely busy
- In the middle of the week with the Auditors one of Mum's co-workers was off sick and Mum had to do her own work and the other lady's work too, the lady was gone for 3 weeks - so Mum was crazy busy.
- On Tuesday Sept. 2 my Mum had an operation. The surgeon created a fistula in her lower right arm . A fistula is when they take a vein and an artery and join them together so it can be used for dialysis. My Mum's arm is very sore and she is finding it tricky using her left hand - but she is glad it is over!

During this crazy month I have been busy taking care of Mum. I made sure I cuddled her lots, napped with her lots and ran crazily around the house to make her laugh. She said she wouldn't have made it without me : )

I have missed my friends so much and I will try to get to everyones blog as soon as possible - I feel so out of touch with all of you.

It is hot and I'm tired - drop the flashy thing!

2008-08-06T10:21:00.001-07:00

An Award and An Update

2008-07-26T08:00:00.000-07:00

It is very hot here - get me some more water please Mum!

My good friend Moki gave me this wonderful award - Thank you so much Moki, it is very much appreciated.

The rules for the award are as follows:

As stated on their blogs, "This award was created to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creativity and their talents, also for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium.
When you receive this award it is considered a "special honor".
The rules for passing this honor on are as follows:
1. Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.
2. Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3. Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4. Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award. arteypico.

I have tried to find cats that haven't received this award - but it seems to have done the rounds, so if you haven't received it yet please feel free to award it to yourself - I am sure you are very inspiring!

As many of you know, my Mum's kidney's are failing (they are working at 17% of normal) and sometimes she doesn't feel very good, she feels lethargic and sometimes the toxins in your body give you painfull joints and make you nauseous. The people she works for are wonderful people and they decided that it would be best for Mum if she came into work at 10:00 in the morning rather than her usual 8:00 from now on (all for the same pay). Isn't that the nicest thing ever! Mum sometimes takes home work to do, but it is much easier to do at home than at the office. Mum is still very busy, but hopefully things will quiet down after the auditors leave in mid-August.

Thank you all for visiting me while I was not blogging - because of the Mum, sigh.... She does try to get around to a few blogs every day, but I won't be happy until she gets back to blogging every day!

Busy, Busy, Busy.....

2008-07-11T10:16:00.003-07:00

My Mum has been so busy at work that she is neglecting her blog typing work for me! It is totally unacceptable behaviour and I am thinking of putting her in a time out (with the computer, so she can catch up). Apparently, you are supposed to put beans in time outs for one minute per year of their age, so she will be there a squillion years and I will get my blog updated.

Mum says to please be patient with us. She has the auditors coming August 11 and until then, we won't be able to post every day : )

Please don't forget about us.

Happy 4th of July to our American friends!

2008-07-04T10:13:00.003-07:00

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends, I hope you have a great day celebrating! I also hope that the fireworks don't scare any of you too much.

We just had Canada Day on July 1st and Mum and I could just barely hear the fireworks, which was good because I don't care for loud noises.

Mum and I have lots of naps on the deck planned for this Saturday - ahhhh.... I love napping with the Mum.

On Sunday, my boyfriend Maximillian is taking me on a wonderful trip to San Francisco. I can barely wait, it is going to be so much fun. I was glad that Maximillian was able to find the time because as most of you know he has a very important job with the Burmese Security Council and I am sure they will miss him greatly whilst he teleports to San Francisco with me.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Wordless Wednesday - We are back!

2008-07-02T11:28:00.002-07:00

We are back! My Mum was feeling ill for the last 10 days or so and didn't even open up her laptop once! She is feeling better and is back at work today, so we hope to catch up on all our friends. We have missed all of you.

A Birthday Party for me and Dante

2008-06-20T06:00:00.001-07:00

I am so excited! The date that Maxwell had in mind was to bring me to a big party that the Purrageous Pirates were throwing for me and Dante, my cosmic twin. Today Dante turns 3 and I turn 7. Oh my goodness, there is so much fun going on. Please head over to the Purragous Pirates blog and join the fun, there are drinks and food and lots of fun!

P.S.

Do you like the collar I decided to wear?

A Date with My Maximillian

2008-06-19T10:56:00.002-07:00

My Handsome Maximillian.

On Thursday I have a date with My Maximillian. I am all in a dither on what collar to wear for the big date. He is being ever so secret about where we are going. He said we might stop by the Purrageous Pirates first, that will be fun - I have never seen Fagin and it will be very nice to meet him.

Oh gosh, I am just so excited!

Wordless Wednesday

2008-06-18T11:10:00.002-07:00

Monday Already!

2008-06-16T11:13:00.002-07:00

My Mum was feeling tired and sicky this weekend so we did ALOT of sleeping. I did spend some time out on MY deck, but then I would go check on Mum and cuddled up with her for yet another sleep. What is a girl to do, if the Mum is sleeping - then you really should curl up with her and nap too!

Mum did take Grandpa out for Father's Day AND she never brought me back anything - even though I could smell that she had seafood. Sheesh - I think next time I should get to go with them.

My Cosmic Twin Dante

2008-06-13T10:41:00.006-07:00

Many have commented on how much Dante from the Purrageous Pirates and I look alike. His Mum and mine have commented to each other that we were startled when we visited each others blogs to see their baby's picture - only to realize it was Dante/Kellie.

Well yesterday it became even more surreal when I visited the Purrageous Pirates and noticed that Dante and I have the same birthday - June 21! How weird is that! Okay, he will only be 3 and I will be 7, but I am convinced we are some sort of cosmic twins!

See - aren't we similar!

Furry Fighter Friday

2008-06-13T10:35:00.006-07:00

I didn't know you well dear Stormie, but the other cat bloggers have told me how strong and wonderful you were. You are right in saying you won your battle! Well done Stormie. Now as you cross the Rainbow Bridge you will be free of pain, full of energy and will be able to meet all those that went before you. Safe travels my dear friend.

Crazy Thundering Herd of Elephants

2008-06-12T10:34:00.003-07:00

Last night I decided to put on a crazy thundering herd of elephant show!

All evening I ran around the house with my ears back, racing from one spot to the other, meowing really loud, it was alot of fun and a good way to burn off steam. My Mum of course was all concerned that something was wrong, he, he, he.....she kept talking to me all sweetly, asking me what was wrong.......ha, ha, ha.....Then she thought maybe a storm was coming (cause when a storm is coming I act all crazy too), but no - I was just having some fun and of course there was the extra benefit of Mum paying ALOT of attention to me was good.

Yup, just a good old game of thundering herd of elephants that went on all evening and into the night : )

My Sock Kitty Cherry

2008-06-11T10:30:00.003-07:00

This is the sock kitty my Mum got me last year. Monty-Q's Mum makes them. Right now at Monty's blog you can bid on one of the Sock Kitty Clowns his Mumbean made to raise money for our cat friends that need help. It is a really good cause and the Sock Kitty's are real cute - I highly recommend them : )

P.S. Please purr and purray for my very good friend Eric, he is having some troubles.
