Trying To Study, Eh!

Niece has been working really hard doing this thing called "studying". It seems crazy to me, but hey - humans do weird things, eh?

Wordless Wednesday, Eh!

Fuzzy Toes, Eh!

This little piggy went to take a snoozer.
This little piggy stayed on their woobie.
This little piggy had salmon,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went "Meow! Meow! Meow!" all the way home.

Well, actually I guess they're kitties not piggies, eh? And I guess one of those lines has to be removed because cats only have 4 toes to reference, not 5... well unless you're my roommate Frankie who is polydactal... dang, this really didn't work, did it? *MOL*

Hope your toes are happy too, eh!
Boo

Study Buddy, Eh!

My roommate Lila is Niece's first fur baby. Lila hangs out with Niece a lot. They're like kibble and catnip. Back when Niece was doing her bachelor's degree, Lila used to sit in a special chair and hang out while Niece wrote papers and studied.

Now Niece is working on her master's and Lila is back into study mode! Only this time she stole my chair, eh!


Lila in 2002 in her chair




Lila in 2011 in my chair




I'm ok with Lila hanging in my chair though. She's pretty nice to me, plus I have to sit under my brain lamp when Niece studies so I can help!



Pawsitively Yours,
Brainiac Boo

Fab-BOO Fridays, Eh!

So what makes up a fab-BOO Friday besides just me and my fab-BOO-ness? It's the following pawsome things, eh!


#1.) Niece and The Boy get home



#2.) Kibble is dispensed



#3.) Head skritches occur



#4.) The laser dot shows up and I catch it (or try to)



#5.) I take a serious snoozer



Hope your Friday was fab-BOO too!
Boo

Wordless Wednesday, Eh!

Large And In Charge on Facebook, Eh!

Hello Boo Buddies!

Guess what - I have my own Facebook fan page now! Exciting stuff, eh! Yuppers, if you wanna see my latest blog, hear my daily thoughts, or see some of my favorite pages, just head on over to the right column on my blog and hit that thumbs up like button! (Facebook account required of course - but who doesn't have one, eh?)

Join the fun and make sure your day is a Boo Biggins day, eh!

Houdini, Eh

"Someone" is not in their collar, eh! At first I thought maybe they vanished into thin air... but then I saw Frankie running down the hall, so I knew she was still around.


I know these are break away collars, but we have a full blown Houdini in our midst. She opened that collar all by herself... This could turn into a full length magic show on The Strip! I'll let you all know when tickets become available.

Pawsitively Yours,
Show Producer Boo

Collars, Eh!

Niece went to PetSmart today and I guess she thought we'd be cute if we all had a different color collar. Because we have microchips, we don't usually wear collars, but Keebler kinda ruined that when she tried to run out the garage one night. Niece was none-to-happy, eh!

Anyway, here are our colors:

Lila = red
Frankie = light blue (just like her eyes)
Newbe = royal blue
Keebler = purple

And I got the burnt orange, which I must say is pawsome with my fur. I look super handsome.

Based on the other available collar colors, I could have 3 more roommates, but Niece and The Boy said no. The team roster is full. The inn has no more room. The bus is outta seats. I think 4 girls to 1 boy is unfair though. We could get 3 more boys and then it would be 4 to 4. That only seems fair! *MOL* Unfortunately though one of the remaining colors is pink... that isn't a good boy color, eh?

Meow at you again soon,
The Colorful Cat Club

Yearbook, Eh!

I know all of you humans out there know what an iPod is... many of you even have one I'm sure. I'm still waiting for an iPawd to be invented with headphones that actually fit in my kitty ears.




The Boy has a fun app on his iPod that takes your photo and makes it look like you're in an old yearbook. Niece saved a few and here they are. I make a pretty good lookin' high schooler, eh? *MOL*

Wordless Wednesday, Eh!

Invisible, Eh!

My tail has special powers that make me invisible, eh! Its floof is magical like a super hero cape. It's unlike any other magic tail out there! Move over Harry Potter, it's Super Wizzard Boo.


Or I could just forget the magic and hide behind this giant bag of litter, eh!



Pawsitively Yours,
Boo Copperfield

Big Boy Bed, Eh!

Now this bed definitely does NOT make me look fluffy. Having a big boy bed really suits my strong Canadian stature! It's good for my back too, eh!

I especially like the manly bedding - no pink, no foofy, no ruffles (even though the number of throw pillows is borderline). And if I'm not mistaken, these rings look kinda like Olympic rings... and if I may kindly remind everyone, Canada won both men's and women's hockey gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Let's pause for a moment of silence while I purr the Canadian national anthem, eh!


You may now resume your regularly scheduled snooze fest.

Pawsitively Yours,
Boo Big Boy Bed Biggins

Blogging, Eh!

I do all my best thinkin' about my blog when I place my noggin' under this lamp, eh! It also helps warm my whiskers and lull me into a snoozer.

Pawsitively Yours,
Boo

Mulder, Eh!

As many of you know, I have a Twitter account. As of yesterday, I have over 1,000 tweets! Exciting, eh! My tweets show up on my blog over there to the left in my "Twitterbox" (get it, it's like a litterbox? *snicker snort*).

Twitter is kind of fun as I have anipals from all over the globe! Yuppers, I'm not the only tweeting cat (or dog or guinea pig or bird or rabbit) out there. There are tens of thousands of us. It's a nice community. I've learned cool things from my Twitter pals and even taught them a few things about life as a Canadian cat in Las Vegas.

Today was a bitter sweet day though. One of my first Twitter pals Mulder (know as @Mulder_Cat on Twitter) had to cross the Rainbow Bridge.

For those of you not familiar with the term, it's a beautiful verse written about when us anipals go to heaven. Here it is:

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....



So, Mulder had been sick for awhile with that horrible thing we all hate - cancer. Mulder liked to call his human "Staff" which was just hilarious. Staff took great care of Mulder and tried every treatment there was. Mulder did well for awhile, but recently that hoser cancer became too strong. (And hoser is a nice term, I could use something way worse here!)

From what we can tell in the Twitter community, Staff seems to be doing ok for losing his anipal today, and in common Twitter fashion, @Mulder_Cat was giving updates from OTRB today! (I've recently learned this power is possible.) Sounds like he even took his iPad over there, eh! *snicker snicker*

He said he was back to his normal weight, had his front claws back, and had wings - just like my brother Smoke! I dropped Mulder a tweet and asked him to give that bossy brother of mine a big old thwap on the head up there. I said he couldn't miss him - he's the big fat gray cat from Canada. *MOL* Mulder said, no problem he was on it!

It's great to know humans and anipals can still talk to any of our loved ones whether its through prayer, dreams, or OTRB Twitter! *MOL*

Mulder has a sister still here on Earth. Here name is Scully. Mulder says that Scully will take over bossing Staff around. Sounds like a solid kitty plan to me!

One of the best things I think Mulder shared with us on Twitter is how to build a kitty tuffet. It's basically a wonderful warm, snuggley blanket pile. I told Niece and now they're my roommate Frankie's favorite!

With happy thoughts of Mulder,
Boo Man

Things I Notice, Eh!

Since I moved from Canada to the U.S. to live with Niece, The Boy and The Roommates, I've spent a lot of time watching all the activity around here, eh! Now that I've collected significant data, I feel like I can make the following hypotheses (yeah that's a big word, I saw Niece use it once.)

#1.) Humans don't particularly love going to work.



#2.) Humans love to watch television.



#3.) The Roommates hate the doorbell.



#4.) Humans do not like mornings (see #1).



#5.) The Roommates can sleep anywhere at any time.



I'll continue to gather data and post more observations again soon!

Pawsitively Yours,
Boo

Lazy Day, Eh!

Yup, my roommate Newbe says it all right there in that photograph - Yawnfest 2011 is what this place is right now. It's cold and cloudy, and napping is the only good thing to do. Sleepy Sundays are pretty pawsome, I must admit.

Hope your Sunday was sleepy too!
Boo
