Meowry Christmas!

I hope you all had a great Christmas. Rena gave me a squirrel of my very own. You can see her pictured on my back here. I love it. I also got a really cool blanket made by Nicole. The gift tag was addressed to "Mom, Dad, and Denny", but I know it's all for me. It's really soft and warm. In my stocking I got a laser light, some catnip tennis balls that are just my size, some California Dreamin' Crunch treats, and a funny looking pigeon with a feathery tail. I'm a very lucky cat!

I love my tree!

Ho, Ho, Ho ...

... give me a jelly roll!

ARRRR!

Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Chipmunk Chasing ...

I would have gotten it too, but Rena picked me up and made me go inside.

Back-To-School Time!

Yay! I love being back-to-school with the boys. I get to sit in the window and try to chase away the squirrels, birds, and — that stupid cat from up the road! The BEST part is being back in Neil's big, green chair. That's my favorite place of all!

Been a little busy ...

So sleepy ...

Another sister?

This is DeeDee. Rena was told that she came into the rescue right after me and Darla did, and from the same area. We're really thinking she's my other sister. She looks just like me, don't you think?

This is my sister!

Her name is Darla. She's still available for adoption at the Life Savers Animal Rescue near Polson, MT. Darla and I were born in the wild and brought to this really nice house. Rena's family adopted me, but could only take one cat, so Darla stayed behind. If you look closely, she looks just like me, except she's black. I wish Rena could get her and let her live here with us. I'm not sure how Kitty would handle that. She's kind of old and cranky. I've been away from my sister for 3 years now, but I'm sure she's just as cool as me.

ARRRR!

I'm a pirate! Shiver me timbers, and shake out yer kitty litter!

Actually, I'm a mad pirate. Rick, Rena, and the boys are going camping this weekend and tell me I can't go. WAH! I am so upset. Rick said something about not having hook-ups to run the air conditioner or something like that. Blah, blah, blah! I still want to go. I have to stay home with Nichelle & Kitty. Boo! Not a happy pirate!

It's my birthday!

I'm officially a three-year-old now! Rena has posted my picture all over Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter — whatever the heck those things are. She's even making me a special treat for tonight!

Robins & Flutterflies!

I've had an exciting weekend. Yesterday Rena let me romp around on the front lawn. I love doing that, but only get to do it when she's out there with me. I saw some flutterflies! I ran after them. I hopped and jumped and grabbed the flutterflies! I love flutterflies. And then ... a big, fat robin landed on the grass right in front of me. I took off like a lightening bolt! As I got closer, I realized the bird wasn't going to fly away. That freaked me out, so I stopped. Then another robin came close, and the two of them started screeching at me. It was scary. Rena picked me up and moved me closer to the house. Then I chased another flutterfly!

Rena is doing this photo-a-day thing on Instagram. Each day there is a prompt as to what type of photograph to post. Well, the other day the prompt was "from above", so Rena took this picture above of me looking up at her. She says it's gotten over 30 "likes" — whatever that means. It must be something good.

Anyway, it's been a fun weekend. Today I fell asleep with my face down on the tile floor. All this fun has me super, duper tye-derd!

It's been a long time ...

I haven't been able to blog in such a long time. Rena and everyone left me home with Kitty. I thought I was going to freak out. Fortunately, our friend Kathy came over to take care of us. I like Kathy. She kept our food bowls full and our kitty boxes clean — and she played with me too.

I guess everyone went to some place called Disney World. I don't know what that is, but I heard a rumor that it was all started by a mouse. A mouse? If you ask me, it sounds like a nasty place. Neil let me wear his mouse ears the other day, but I wasn't too happy about that. On the bright side, they did bring me home a Donald Duck! I like him. I've been kicking him around a lot.

I'm so glad they're home. They've been home about a week now and I don't think I've stopped purring since. I hope they never leave me again like that — never, ever, ever!

Lipstick on my Nose!

This picture was taken AFTER most of it was wiped off. I gave Rena a big head ram when she was in the bathroom the other day. I ended up with a big, red nose! She tried to wipe most of it off, but then started laughing and took this picture. I guess this is why she prefers the non-transferrable lipsticks — whatever that means. I looked like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Kitty!

Tongue Boy

I Am Fang Boy!

Look ... it's DennyDog!

Rick sees this dog near his workplace everyday. He says he looks just like me and has nicknamed him Denny Dog. Rena put these pictures together, and yeah, I guess we do look alike!

My nose is wet ...

... and I thought you should know!

I ate a worm — and liked it.

It really creeped Rena out. She said I wouldn't be getting any kisses for awhile.

Photobomb!

I'm so tye-derd!

Toy Destroyer!

Need For Sleep!

Nathan took this picture of me recently. He was playing his PlayStation game called Need For Speed. He thought it would be fun to title this picture — Need For Sleep! I think so too.

I ate a fly today.

And it was GOOD! Nom, nom, nom ...

Kitty Update

I'm happy to announce that Kitty had her tumor removed two weeks ago and is doing fine. She got her stitches out yesterday, and the doctor says she's healing nicely. Sadly, the tumor was malignant, so it could come back. At this point, there's not much we can do, other than keep an eye on the area. Here's a picture of Kitty with her cone. She got it taken off yesterday, so she doesn't have to wear it anymore. That thing fascinated me, but she wouldn't let me near it.

In fact, the other day Nathan was giving me a cookie (cat snack) and Kitty came right up and took it from under my nose! She's never done that before! Then she hissed and swatted at me! Fortunately, Nathan gave me another one, so everything was okay. Kitty is doing good!

Me & Kitty

I like to sit on the sink when Rena is in the bathroom. I love smelling her toothpaste when she brushes her teeth. Every time she opens up her jar of Noxzema, I still my face in it and take a big whiff. Then I blink and blink and blink and blink! Rena thinks I'm weird.

Above is a picture of my adopted-aunt. Her name is Kitty. She is Nichelle's cat and pretty much hangs out in her room all the time. If you could, please keep Kitty in your thoughts and prayers. We recently found out she has a tumor on her side and is scheduled for surgery on March 4th. We're all a little nervous about it and hoping she will be okay.

Just me ...

A few more photographs of me that Rena took and put on Instagram. I've just been busy with school all this week. You know — hogging Neil's chair, keeping those pesky pencils off the table, staring at the birds through the classroom window — so much do to for a tabby cat!

Too Sleepy!

Nathan made this picture of me today. It pretty much sums up how I feel.

Scary Day!

I fell down yesterday. I was trying to walk along an edge that overlooks the staircase, but I slipped and fell. I fell a long ways down! When Rena and Nichelle got to me, they said I looked disorientated. I don't know what happened. One minute I was on the ledge, and the next I was on the second level of the staircase. It scared me. I was okay, but Rena kept a close eye on me all day. In fact, we just lazed around in bed most of the day, which I thought was pretty cool. As you can see from the picture below, I'm feeling a lot better!

Strike a Pose ...

This picture is a little blurry. Rena was pretty far away when she took it, but she thought I looked all majestic by the way I was sitting on the pagoda this morning. I got stuck on the curtains in the hallway tonight. Rick said I was swinging like Tarzan. Must be time to trim the claws ...

Instagram & Me!

Rena joined a site called Instagram. I don't know what that is. All I know is that she's always taking my picture and putting it up there. Here are some of her recent shots of me ...

If you're on Instagram, you can follow here @ renajjones. She'll probably follow you back too, unless you're some kind of weirdo, which I'm sure you're not. Kitty is a weirdo.

I painted a picture!
