Week of Pearl - Thursday

8 Random Things Meme
The super Tabby Abby  and Little Catzee wanted to help with the Week of Pearl, so she tagged me for the 8 Random Things meme! The rules are:

- Each player starts with eight random fact/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blogpost, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their name.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog.

So here it goes:
1. I love to bunny-kick George's toys. I'm not sure if it's the doggy smell or the fact that they are bigger than any of my toys. But it's super fun!

2. Neither rain, nor snow nor dead of night keeps me from wanting to go outside! I really love my home, and I always come back, but I do love to go outside.

3. I won't let George in the dinning room - I whap her until she leaves. It's where we have our beds and our play cubes and our toy basket, so I really don't like it when she's in there.

4. When I go outside, I like to come inside every hour or so to have a snack. And when I come in I don't like to have treats, I prefer my regular crunchies.

5. I like to sleep with my tail wrapped around my Mommy's neck when I sleep behind her on the chair at night.

6. My Mommy and Daddy call me "Pumpkin Nose" - not because it's as big as a pumpkin, but because it's orange like a pumpkin. And after all, I do have very autumnal colors!

7. I don't like to sleep on the big bed, except after breakfast and only if Mommy goes back to bed. Most of the time there's too many folks there (Mommy and Daddy along with Bert and Jake - and George sleeps on the floor).

8. I love to drag my fev-ver wand around the hall and making a hunting howl like I've caught it. But when I really catch something I prefer to eat it rather than bring it home and howl about it!

I'd like to tag my fellow Tough A** Torties!
Cotton
KC & Faith Boo
Georgia
Holly & Ivy
Queen Snickers
and one talented tuxie/house panther Diamond

And just so Dante doesn't get too upset, here's a picture of me - beautifully enhanced by the lovely (and so very talented) Miss Diamond Emerald Eyes!

Ooooh a Meme - about Me!

My Tough A** Tortie friend Little Cat Zee tagged me for this cool meme!

Here are the rules:
1. Be honest.
2. Have fun!
______________________

1. How many calenders are in your home?
Ok, I didn't know what a calendar was, but Catzee had a picture - so now I know what it is (it's one of those things that Mommies keep up on the wall to tell them when it's our birthdays and gotcha days). And we have two - one of which has a bunch of pictures of all of us (the other has pictures of shoes, which Mommy likes almost as much as us).

2. What is your fave season?
Probably Spring, but maybe Summer or it could be Fall - but it's definitely not Winter! They all have so many good things (well except for Winter, like I said, definitely not Winter).

3. What is your lucky number?
Um, I'm not sure I have one so I'll pick one. Let's make it.................. 3! 'Cause when Mommy and Daddy got me it was so that they could have three kitties, they said they needed three kitties for the house to feel right and I was the new three!

4. What is your fave month?
January - that's the month that I was Gotcha'd. Mommy and Daddy drove an hour and a half after a blizzard just to get me!

5. Which do you like best, Planting seeds, Climbing trees, Jumping into a pile of leafs, or, building igloos?
Oh, that's easy - climbing trees, I love to do that!

6. Now tag some people!
I'd like to tag all of those Furry Kids, Tesla and her new brofurr Hans, and Mickey and his sisters!

-Pearl

Friends on Friday

Our good friend Skeeter tagged us for a meme, so we thought we'd get it done today.

1. Who would you like to see on a new banknote (dollar bill, etc.)?
Oh - that one's easy, Daddy! Plus, he's already on it, see...

Yep, my Daddy is famous - look for him in wallets everywhere!

2. If you were reincarnated as some other plant or animal (or human), what would it be?
Mommy always says she'd like to come back as one of us. And she's right, we've got it pretty great, lots of love and toys and food. So we'd like to come back as ourselves.

3. If you owned your own restaurant, what would you call it?
Well, it's hard to follow Skeeter's name, but we're thinking "Three Kitties Never-Ending Nom-Nom-Nom". Would you kitties eat there?


Um, Jake, don't you think that you should tell your friends that you aren't going to be around for a bit? It's not nice to just disappear.

Oh yeah, yeah, Mommy and Daddy are leaving again, whatever. We're done with all this madness, we're gonna pack up and go somewhere we're appreciated. Any kitty out there need some new siblings?

Jake, we'll only be gone a few days, it's not that big a deal - I think you'll live.

Right Mommy, uh huh.

(Seriously, anyone interested in a litter trained threesome?)

- Jake

Keepin' Cool

Our dear friend Miss Peach tagged us for this "cool" meme, here are the rules:

A fun and simple MEME for the hot summer. Show us a photo of the front of your Cold Box and tell us about at least one thing on it and one thing you keep inside of it! Tag your friends and remember to stay COOL!


Well, we've go lots of 'Mutts' comic strips and pictures of our bean cousins on our "great white feeding parent" (well that's what I call it - i love that thing more than Mommy sometimes!) and of course shopping lists and to do lists!

Some strange things we've got in there are Mommy's good dark chocolate (for emergencies only) and veggie seeds. Oh, and probably a few science experiments too - we probably should have left that for tattle tale Tuesday :-)

We'd like to tag all our sweeties and their families, Queen Snickers and Empress, The Furry Kids and The Purrageous Pirates!

- Jake

Wordy Wednesday: Meme-O-Rama

We got tagged for a bunch of memes the other day, so we thought we'd tackle them today!

First of all Little Cat Zee tagged Pearl for the Name Meme:

Rules:
1.be honest
2.tag other people
3. have fun!

What is your name?
Pearl

If you could change your name what would it be?
I really kind of like my name - though I do like it when Mommy calls me Principessa Puffy Pants, but I think that's a bit too much. And Mommy said I can't be Supreme Princess of the Universe, cause that's her title.

I like it when they call me Pearly Mae, and some time they call me Maybelle or Maybelline - and since there's a song called Maybelline I'll go with that!

What is your pet's name (it can be a webkinz or a real pet)?
I don't have a pet, though I do think that I am responsible enough. But Mommy says that until I stop making little creatures dead (I caught a mole last Sunday and I caught a chipmunk just the other day) I can't have a pet.

If you could change your pet's name what would it be?
If I had a pet I would name it Rumpelstiltskin!

What is your brother or sisters name?
My sister's name is George and my brother's names are Bert and Jake.

If you could change their name what would it be?
I would change George's name to "Poo" cause Mommy and Daddy already call her that and she is a poo sometimes.

I would change Jake's to "Big Grouchy Jealous Bed Lump" - for the obvious reasons.

And I think I would leave Bert's name alone - it really suits him.

Now tag as many people as letters in your new name for yourself.


Next it's Bert's turn, Abby tagged him for the same Meme
What is your name?
Bert

If you could change your name what would it be?
I wouldn't change it as much as add to it. I would make it Bert, International Cat of Mystery. Cause I think I would make a good spy, plus I'm pretty darn funny sometimes!

What is your pet's name (it can be a webkinz or a real pet)?
I also am not allowed to have a pet, cause I make little creatures dead too often according to Mommy.

If you could change your pet's name what would it be?
I would name my pet Speckled Jim, it sounds like a good name!

What is your brother or sisters name?
My Brother's name is Jake and my sister's names are Pearl and George.

If you could change their name what would it be?
I wouldn't change Jake's name - it pretty much works for him, it's manly and cat like at the same time.

I would change Pearl's to Princess Pain in the Poof, cause that's what she is sometime.

I would change George's name to Crazy Barking Playing Dog - because that's exactly what she is!

Then Kimo tagged Jake for the name meme too!
What is your name?
Jake

If you could change your name what would it be?
I would make it something regal or grand - like Emperor Floof of the Big Bed. You know, something with real presence.

What is your pet's name (it can be a webkinz or a real pet)?
I don't have a pet, but I think I should. I'm a very responsible ManCat and I helped raise up both Bert and Pearl into great kitties - so I think I have proved how responibility!

If you could change your pet's name what would it be?
I would name my pet Goosey, it sounds like something from Peter Rabbit, but a good name.

What is your brother or sisters name?
My Brother's name is Bert and my sister's names are Pearl and George.

If you could change their name what would it be?
I think that Bert could have a name like Cecil or Conrad, something dignified cause that's how he is.

I would change Pearl's to Princess Pain in the Poof, too - Bert's totally right.

I would change George's name to Could You Go AWAY?! because that's what I say to her all the time!


And lastly Kilroy tagged all of us for the Quirk Meme.

Here are the rules for the Quirky Meme:
1. Link to the one who tagged you.
2. List the rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag some bloggers friends with links.
5. Leave a comment on their blog to let them know they've been tagged.
6. What's a quirk? What is a quirk? I will define it as: "Something odd a person or kitty or woofie does that just makes them more lovable."

1. Pearl - I whap Jake about the head when I'm waiting for my breakfast (and this is the only time I can get away with it).

2. Bert - I prefer to go out the back door rather than the front, it goes into Georgie's part of the yard, but it's closer to all the birds.

3. Jake - I love to dig in sheets and blankets, it's so much fun!

4. Pearl - Before I go out the front door I have to jump from the floor to the bench and back to the floor.

5. Bert - I like to holler at Jake at 1 or 2 in the morning, then bite him and jump off the bed for him to chase me.

6. Jake - I like to lick my Mom's chapstick (Burt's Bees) off of her lips and I only do it late at night.

Alright - on to the tagging. We're supposed to tag one kitty for each letter in our new names and who ever we want for the quirky meme. Now that is just too many to tag, so we're gonna tag our sister George, and any kitty in our Blog Roll - so consider yourself tagged!

And if you're still reading this, you should stop and go right over to Kimo & Sabi's for the big house trashing party (but don't tucker yourselves out, cause Mr. Hendrix is having another on Sunday).

-Pearl, Bert and Jake

Friends on Friday!

Wow - we've got a lot of things to cover today, so many friends and things to talk about!

First of all we need to get our Jumps and Shouts in for Kimo & Sabi's contest!
So here's Pearl Jumping:


And here's Jake Shouting


Then, our friend JB gave us this cool award!

We'd like to pass it on to Tesla, our new friend Willie, our dear Miss Peach and Princess & Pierro.


And the other day, Jake's darling Queen Snickers sent him a super birthday present, which included the most amazing nip canes! Thank you so much my sweet!

And Momma Snickers added some cool scrapbooking paper and kitty stickers - Mommy is going to make a special birthday page for me!


Ages ago our Friend Miz Allie Cat tagged us for the Useful Meme, so here are seven ways we are useful:
1. We're excellent Alarm Clocks.
2. None of the furniture would be covered in cat hair without us!
3. Who else would eat all the stinky goodness?
4. We keep Mommy's feet warm in the big bed.
5. There would be all sorts of bugs in the house without us to hunt them.
6. Without us there wouldn't be anyone to suck up all the heat in front of the fireplace or heater vents.
7. If we weren't around Mommy and Daddy wouldn't get any kitty lovin' which is the best thing EVER!

We tag our sister George and any other kitties that would like to play!


And of course, and most importantly - today is Karl and Ruis' Wedding Day! Concatulations to them both!


Happy Friday to one and all!

- Pearl, Bert and Jake

Wordy Wednesday

We've got lots and lots to say today, first of all we got tagged for the 6 Word Memoir by our super defender friend Tesla.

1) Write your own six word memoir.
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
6) Have fun!!

So, here it goes...

Pearl:
Tortie princess loves playing and hunting.

Bert:
Quiet but speedy Tuxedo sleeps high-up.

Jake:
Floofy ManCat loves to lounge about.

We're pretty sure that most everyone has done this meme, but consider yourself tagged if you haven't!

Then we thought it would be funny to find our what kind of celebrities we would all be...

Pearl:


Bert:


Jake:


George:


And most importantly, we're all purring and purraying for our friends Storm, who's lymphoma has returned. The good news is that she fought last time and won the battle, the bad news is that the war is not over and she has to fight again.


We're purring soooo very hard for her. This horrible disease has taken too many kitties, including our big sister and brother. So let's all purr and give Storm the strength to beat this awful thing!

We're also purring for Moki's brother Orange Boy, he got the bitey from a rattle snake! The good news is that he seems to be healing, but he still needs your purrs.

Catching Up

The kitties said that we've been getting behind in a few things, so they said I could take care of the catching up (especially since I get to do a meme!)...

A while ago the very talented Diamond and her Bean made these really cool digital scrapbook pages for us:








Diamond's Bean is very good at the digital scrapbooking and has done many other kitties and woofies, we're so proud to be part of her amazing artwork!

Also, Criz was kind enough to make this badge for us, just for being worried and purring (well I woofed) for Mama Jessica! We were ever so worried for her (a family needs a Mama), but now she's back and everything is better.


And finally, the superest White Dawg around has tagged me for a meme, here are the rules:

1) Write your own six word memoir.
2) Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3) Link to the person that tagged you in your post, and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4) Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
6) Have fun!!

Oh I'm so excited - I've never done a meme, I think - wait what's a meme? Oh right, focus - six words...

Terrier terror who loves her family!

I'd like to tag my friends Asta, Hershey & Kaci, Cami and her kitties, Diamond Dog and Diamond Emerald Eyes !

-George

Friday Memes

We've been tagged for a couple of memes recently and we haven't gotten them done, so we're going to play catch-up today!

Bert's darling Tazo tagged us for the Make A Wish Meme a while back. Since we'd already done it, we decided to let Mommy and Daddy make a wish this time!



The Rules
1. Think about what it is that you want more than anything, what your heart's desire and fondest wish is, and what it is that you would wish for if you were to see the above wishing star flame across the night sky.

2. Right click and SAVE the blank graphic below.

3. Use a graphics program of your choice and place your wish on the picture.

4. Post the Make A Wish Meme and your wishing star on your blog along with these rules.

5. Tag as many people as you like so that there can be wishing stars all across the Blogosphere and ask them to please link back to Linda so that we can see what wishes others have made and share those wishes with others.



Then Vincent and Mike tagged us for the book meme!

Here's the rules:
Pick up the nearest book.
Open to page 123
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the next three sentences.
Tag five people and post a comment to Mickey once you have posted it.

So page 123 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire:

"Fred, George and Ginny were nowhere to be seen, thought the path was packed with plenty of other people, all looking nervously over their shoulders toward the commotion of the campsite. A huddle of teenagers in pajamas was arguing vociferously a little along the path. When they saw Harry, Ron and Hermione, a girl with thick curly hair turned and said quickly, 'Ou est Madame Maxime?'"

We'd like to tag Dante & Capt. Jack, everyone over at Jan's Funny Farm, Queen Snickers & Empress (and Reena - but we're not sure if she's old enough to read yet), LC, Skeeter & Ayla, and Tesla for which ever ones they want to do (or haven't done)!

Have a super weekend kitties!
Pearl, Bert and Jake

P.S. Don't forget the Comentathon over at Grr, Midnight & Cocoa's on Sunday
