My Mama, Eh.

It's hard to believe that a year ago my mama left Earth to go see family, friends, and my buddy Smoke Kitty in heaven. In about another week, I will be celebrating a year in my new home in fabulous Las Vegas, and a year of the Boo Blog! I don't however wish to celebrate the hours I had to spend flying in that silly box last year! I will however really celebrate how slim and trim I'm getting here. I scoot all around the house chasing my favorite laser beam and fun toys.

I miss my mama sometimes. We had fun playing "Roll Over Boo" and I miss watching the snow on the Island, but I can always feel her with me watching over my daily naps in the desert sunshine and making sure my other furry roommates are happy and healthy as well. We all say little kitty prayers every night, and I know she can hear us all. It's funny because I often hear Niece say, "No, Boo" when I'm getting in trouble and my mama used to say the same thing! I still don't understand though what's wrong with eating a shopping bag. They're quite tasty! *Meow Meow*

Niece is a pretty cool lady even though she likes to squeeze me a lot. She calls them Biggins Hugs, which does make it sound better, but what I really love is being brushed. That is sooooo pawesome. I've learned how to follow Niece and The Boy into the bathroom and that's where I get lots of brushing. I guess they're kind of a captive audience in there, eh? MOL!

I also have tons of fun watching the birdies outside. There is a family of them who lives in a cyprus tree. Both Keebler and I love to see them come and go. Sometimes Keebler jumps at the window and then falls down. It is hilarious! I just stay still and do my famous Boo Man Chatter. It's pretty cool, eh?!

I hope all my Boo Buddies can smile knowing we're all doing great. I love my home and so does my furry sister Peggy Sue. And I'm sure our buddy George the singing canary is having a glorious spring up on the Island in his new home seeing the trees and flowers bloom. My mama is very healthy and happy in heaven now and Smoke Kitty is keeping her good company!

With lots of love,
The Boo Man

Dear Santa, (insert implied Aye here)

Dear Santa,

I'm writing to let you know I have been the purrfect boy this year. In celebration of this exemplary behavior, I have a few requests. For your convenience, since I know you're very busy these days, I have provided a simple and organized list below.

#1.) Seafood Cat Treats
The reason for these should be pretty self explanatory. I come from an Island with lots of fish... it's just my thing.


#2.) The Ball of Furry Fury
I'm pretty sure I could kick this mouse's toosh all over this place!


#3.) Ba Da Beam
We need this laser light show at The Rug so we can be the awesome disco kitties that we are around these parts. It's all about the Vegas nightlife!


#4.) 360 degree water fountain
Not only is this a lovely centerpiece for our home, but I'm sure this flowing water is tasty and fun to play in! I love to stick my face and paws in the water dish... shhh, don't tell!


#5.) Some stockings for my roommates
What can I say, I like to spoil the ladies.


And last but not least, I'd like a gift for my family. I think this picture frame would be nice so they can have a great big photo of me!



So just to re-cap:
Me = Good Boy
You = Bring me gifts

Since you're so savvy (and good looking too I must say there Mr. Claus) I know that you have my new address on file. I hope you enjoy seeing the fabulous lights of the Las Vegas strip as you fly into town, aye. As you know, we don't have many chimneys in the desert, so feel free to drop our items at the front door like the UPS man does.

Happy Holidays!!

Your very good boy,
Boo

p.s. I guess I should request something for my sister Peggy. She'd probably like this:

Holy Holes, Aye!

MEOWZERS has this been a CRAZY week!!

On Thursday, I was put back in that crazy traveling box and in the car I went again. I'm really starting to hate that thing, but fortunately this time I wasn't going to the vet. I actually was getting to go have a slumber party at my sister Karen and Peggy's house. The reason I had to go over there though is even more crazy!

My magnificent house in Las Vegas had to get new piping! Yuppers, they had to replace the whole system. Fortunately, Niece and The Boy didn't have to pay a dime as it was the builders fault, but it was not fun for anyone.

As you can see they cut lots of holes in the walls. And from what I hear it was non-stop noise and people. The girls stayed at the house, but all 4 of them had to share the only bedroom not touched by the madness. They said it was crowded and I heard Frankie was not happy. I think that my slumber party was way more fun!

Here are some of the photos of the holes:
Newbe is inspecting the damage.

Here is the Casita - my favorite room!


So as you can see it was a wacky week, but soon our house will be back to normal and purrfect!

Pawsitively yours,
Boo Man

Been Busy, Aye!

Howdy Howdy!

Sorry it has been so long since I've written on my blog. I've been one busy fella.

First, Niece and The Boy finished the window seat, and let me tell you, that is one fabulous window seat! I have officially moved from the casita to the window seat. Now "why", would you ask, would I give up a luxurious suite for a seat? Well let me tell you why: I can sleep on it, I can nap on it, I can sit on it, I can watch birds from it, I can watch television there, I can get afternoon sunshine, and I can hang out with everyone since they are always in that room... the thing is amazing. Outside of the vacuum pouch salmon and catnip cigars, I'm not sure anything better has been invented.




Then we had some visitors. The Boy's family came to see us. That was a lot of fun because everyone thought I was one cool fella. I appreciate that they're smart people who know a good lookin' Canadian guy when they see one, aye. Even more fun was an air bed in the casita. I think we should have an air bed in the casita all the time, even though it would then be hard to chose whether to be on the air bed or on the window seat. Here I am enjoying its awesomeness!


Another cool thing about the airbed was blankets! I love getting under blankets. It's like having my own tent or fort or cave. Here's a photo of me burrowing like a ground hog.



Yup life is pretty good. Lila and I have become good friends. Keebler is still my buddy. Frankie doesn't come around much, but I like her anyhow. And then there's Newbe... our relationship has it ups and downs, but for the most part we're living a much more peaceful life. I'll never understand that crazy American girl, but I have respect for how fast she can run up the stairs. I'm getting faster too! Which is good for my work outs and my heart!

Speaking of which, I see Dr. P. again tomorrow for a check up. They have given me some medicine that is supposed to help keep me healthy! That's good because I have lots of and lots of years to sit on that window seat!!

I saw Peggy Sue recently. She's doing great. She loves her buddy Charlie and she's all fluffy for winter, which is good because her summer haircuts are kinda silly, but it keeps her nice and cool when she's rolling around in the grass. Which might I add, I can see our grass from my window seat and the birds that are on it. I love the window seat!!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween - Niece and The Boy don't pass out candy, which I'm glad. It's so crazy to hear that doorbell every 2 seconds. Us cats, we hate that. Doorbells are bad - they're NOT window seats...

Next up, Thanksgiving!! I can't wait to see how much turkey Keebler gets from Niece and The Boy. That girl can beg for food like no other kitty I've seen. You'd think she was a dog!!

Pawsitively yours,
Window Seat Boo Man

Get Your Bracelets, Aye!

Now I know all of you ladies out there love to shop - I've seen it! The Canadian Mafia (as I like to call it) can perform tactical manuevers on a mall unlike any other gang of foxy mamas I know! Shopping is embedded on the DNA of those from the Island.

Niece just got a really pretty blue bracelet from www.petcancerawareness.org


It is a non-profit that donates money to pet cancer research. It was started by the food company we eat kibble from - and it is some TASTY kibble!! It is all natural with chicken breast, cranberries, carrots, sweet potatoes, - none of those words or ingredients I can't read!! Niece gets it at that magic store, PetsMart. I even heard from Peggy Sue that their dog food is just as tasty and good for you!! And it is made here in the U.S..

Anyway, back to the shopping and the jewelry... For $2 (U.S., not a tooney) you can get a bracelet too! The proceeds go to the charity so amazing places like big Universities can conduct research and stop the #1 killer of dogs and cats.

Lila is a survivor of feline breast cancer, and I'm so proud to write this on my blog today!!

So go get'em super shoppers!! Buy your bracelets!!

Pawsitively yours,
The Boo Man

Mama Mia, Aye!

Calling all Boo Blog Buddies!

You have to help me welcome a new furry baby to the Island family! This is Mia. My human Aunt Judy is the proud mama of this beautiful girl. What a wonderful blessing for humans and pooches alike. And she kinds of looks like my furry sister Peggy Sue! Check it out, aye!

This is Mia



And this is Peggy Sue



Pawsitively yours,
The Boo Man

P.S. My latest nickname has been "Big Sexy"... I can live with that. MOL (meow out loud)!

Birthday Greeting, Aye!

I wanted to say thank you for all the birthday wishes. Turning 6 was pretty good! I had a wonderfully relaxing time on Saturday. And if I can say so myself, I think I only look 3!

Here's one of my great birthday greetings from Mary M. up on the Island. I hope my Island friends are having a tail waggin' good summer!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOO! I miss seeing you escape on your Mom and go under the car. I do think of you and and Peggy Sue often. I am going to send you a picture of Curley. I believe you and he could be twins - 20 lbs - beautiful like you Boo. I enjoy all your talks, and I know Niece is so good to you. Be good to all your new friends. I miss you. Love, Mary & Curley

Here's the photo of Curely. I think we look alike too! We'd be some handsome fellas out on the town in Vegas!


Pawsitively yours,
Birthday Boo

My First New Friend, Aye?

I don't have a lot of time to blog tonight because I'm partying it up at The Rug. I have to say, it has been the greatest kitty nightclub ever. And my roommate - the Norwegian Forest - turned out to be my best clubbing buddy! And here I thought our differences over Canadian hockey and Norwegian hockey were going to ruin our chances of hanging out, aye.

Tonight is "Catnip Cigar Night" at The Rug - which I personally think is the greatest cat toy/promotional club item of all time! I mean anyone can get a plastic tumbler filled with cat milk, but legalized nip in a cigar shaped fabric toy? That is outstanding! This place holds no expense when it comes to pleasing its patrons.

Here are a few pics of us chillin' at the club.



This is one of my favorite new friend pictures:


This past Thursday, my furry sister Peggy stopped by for happy hour at The Rug. It was good to unwind after a long week. I mean you saw how hard I was helping Niece with her documents from work! It's exhausting!


Well I was going to see if the party was still hoppin', but writing this blog has made me sleepy. Maybe I'll just grab some kibble and lie down in my suite. Tomorrow is another day and I'm in tight now with the club owners. Viva La Rug!!

Pawsitively Yours,
Boo

My Life, Aye?

So I've been hearing some news that my blog is quite popular, aye! I can understand the appeal - I'm a single fella, from a mysterious foreign country, with some sexy badunk-a-dunk in my trunk-a-trunk. A little jelly in my doughnut (Tim Horton's of course). A little wiggle with my jiggle. Some fluffiness with my toughiness! Well, you get the point...

Since I probably have some readers who don't know my story, let me tell you a little about myself.

My mama found me at the pet store on Prince Edward Island when I was just 6 weeks old. I was pretty petite back then (only 2 pounds according to my vet records). One time as a kitten, I was sleeping on a couch cushion with my human sister, and when she woke up, I was snuggled on her shoulder sucking on her ear lobe! Guess I confused her ear for some tasty kitten's milk! My cuteness didn't stop there though. I used to like to leave cat toys in her shoes too when she came to visit.

I grew up with another cat named Smoke. He was a big fella, like myself, and LOVED to go outside. He was a little crazy, well ok, maybe a lot crazy! But we had a good little life when he wasn't being the bossy older brother. Unfortunately, he had an accident with one of those machines the humans have (the metal ones with the wheels). He healed for the most part, but I think it took too many of his 9 lives. He's very happy in heaven now. He runs and plays where ever he wants, and there are no cars there because everyone has angel wings and can fly.

Just a few years ago, my mama got a dog! At first, I was like, "MEOW WHAAAAT?!", but we already had a canary named George, so I let it go. Cat, bird, dog - whatever, we're all special in our own ways.

My furry sister's name is Peggy Sue. We are pretty good friends. It took me a bit to warm up to her because she loves to play while I love to sleep, but I have to admit, her sunny personality is contagious. She also used to eat my food all the time! I found that pretty rude for a Canadian lady. I mean I can't maintain this svelte fighting weight without my kibble!

Recently, my mama went on a journey to see Smoke. I'm sure they're having a fabulous time in heaven. It's weird she's not here on Earth, but I'm ok... matter of fact, I'm having a wonderful time living in Las Vegas. I'm so excited to hang out with all my extended family. I've heard so much about them over the years because they sent my mama lots of emails, had funny phone calls, and visited our happy home. And now, I'm even starting to make some new friends.

Here are a few of my favorite things:
#10 - The birds outside flying by. They're so fun to watch!
#9 - Canadian hockey
#8 - The word "hoser". Americans don't use it enough!
#7 - Rolling around. My mama taught me how to roll over. Pretty cute huh?
#6 - Chillin'
#5 - My blue cushion my mama made and now my fabulous big bed!
#4 - Doofus Dog - he's a hoot! I love that funny guy.
#3 - Being brushed
#2 - My fort that Niece built me. See, I tried to squeeze behind the books on the bookshelf because it seemed like a neat spot. So, she cleared them out and gave me a shelf and put blankets around it. I crawl in there and pretend I'm a lion in a cave. It's awesome. What kid doesn't love a fort?!
#1 - It's a tie between kibble and sleep.

Well, it's getting late here in the Pacific time zone. Until next time avid readers!!

Pawsitively Yours,
Boo

Photos, Aye?

Just had to post a few pictures of my family... There's Niece and The Boy. I've had great fun with them this past week.

Then there's my furry sister Peggy. I'm going to get to see Peggy tomorrow! My human sister's birthday is coming up so they'll be over for dinner (Sister is going to be 420 in cat years - wow!!!) The other dog in the picture is Charlie. Peggy thinks Charlie is pretty fun! Guess he plays more than I did, but that's ok with me.


Pawsitively Yours,
Boo
