Niece and The Boy have these crazy things called "brackets" for some event called March Madness. I guess it's the sport of basketball, which does exist in Canada - but when you have hockey, who cares!?!

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!

Get To Blogging, Eh!
I've had a lazy, lazy summer. I know my fans have wanted more Boo Blog and less nap time, but nap time is just so darn good, eh!!
I like to think of summer as my hibernation time, especially here in the desert. I consider it a way to save energy as I require less air conditioning if I'm not running around. Obviously my roommates think the same thing. Here is what I like to call "Snoozefest". That would be 3 of my roommates taking a snoozer.
This summer also seemed to be the year of the hot paws. I'm finding that we all had to stick a leg straight out and get some air on our feets! Here are a few examples:
My tube socks are obviously warm...
Keebler usually keeps her legs warm with her tail, but she had to let the one leg out for some a/c!
Newbe likes to sleep in a round ball with her feet pulled under, but as you can see, she was having kitty hot leg syndrome too!
Finally, Frankie decided she needed a little air on all those extra toes while watching television.
I think the only kitty who didn't cool a leg this summer was Lila or maybe it just didn't get caught on film. WAIT! What is this? Hot off the presses it's a double leg cooling by none other than Lila!!
Well folks there you have it - a summer full of kitties coolin' their tootsies! Here's to keeping our toes warm this winter. Can't wait!
Pawsitively Yours,

An Interview With Keebler, Eh!
When I first moved from my beautiful homeland of Canada to the sunny desert of Las Vegas, my new roommate Keebler became a fast friend. We did fun things like party at a local nightclub called "The Rug" (check out my June 2009 entries for more about "The Rug"), and we watched the birds every morning. Keebler even took time to point out the best locations to take a nap, and I went to one of her poetry nights (check out my July 2009 entries for her poetry).
However, once hockey season started, that all changed, eh! Guess her Norwegian Forest blood runs deep and the Canadian hockey teams' olympic wins didn't help. In an effort to reconnect, I asked Keebler if I could interview her for my blog. She tried to appear as if she wasn't excited, but I could see that she was definitely happy to chat.
B - "We all know how I got here, but how did you come to live with my niece?"
K - "Well, I was what we call in the pet world as a "cue", short for rescued. Some pets are "homers", where they are born and never leave their humans. Others like you, are called "shoppies". Born then placed at a busy house with big windows and lots of visitors called "shoppers" that choose you and take you home. But me, I was one of "the lost". I don't remember how I lost my way, but fortunately some very nice humans got me off the streets and provided me with a humble, but comfortable condo.
My condo building was a pretty hoppin' place and was visited by a lot of people. I think my condo was right in the heart of some big time pet mall. Anyway, one day this little girl stopped by to see me. She must have really needed someone to talk to because she full-on took me out of my condo and hugged me and squeezed me!! I found it rude that she'd barge into my condo, so I bolted and hid under our condo building.
She must have still been lonely because she moved onto another resident, but as I peered out to see if I could go back to my condo, I could see your Niece and The Boy standing there. They had a lot of cat food and toys in their hands from the pet mall and I thought, that's fantastic! They can come hang at my condo! Party Time!
So, I went back to my condo and settled in, hoping they'd stop by. They did come by, but visited with a neighbor. Finally, they stopped to see me. The Boy and I had a fabulous conversation, and as they were leaving, I stuck my paw out and grabbed your Niece's coat just to say thanks for the visit. I think that was smart because a few nights later she was taking me from the condos to their house chuck full of pet mall stuff! I remember that night well because I was so excited to see her, and it was snowing like crazy! She drove very careful though to get me home safe and sound.
It's been a great time ever since... well except for the big long car ride when we moved from the snowy mountains to the desert. That was a very long day that I did not like at all."
B - "I hear you used to be called a different name, can you ellborate?"
K - "Yes, the humans that put me up in my condo called me Missy Cee. I gotta tell you, that is one funky name. Now though, I guess I'm named after some elves. That's kinda weird too, but I hear the elf guy makes cookies and I love cookies, so I'm ok with it now. I guess our ears are kind of similar."
B - "I can see that you are Norwegian Forest. Can you tell my readers a little bit more about your heritage?"
K - "Well, my great, great, great, great grandcats came over on a ship with humans called Vikings. My gggggrandcats were the best mousers ever, even though I don't know how those pesky mice boarded the ship! Let me tell ya, one of the things us Wegies can't stand are closed doors. I go around opening them all the time, which reminds me, if you have a door you need open, you just meow for me, ok? There's a Cat Fancy magazine in the human's bathroom that even says we're happy to reverse the effects of closed doors! I'll show it to you some time.
The human Vikings were very adventurous, and I think that rubbed off on us too. I feel lucky to be so observant and smart."
B - "I notice you like to eat. What are some of your favorite meals?"
K - "Ohhhh yes, I LOVE FOOD! Many cats call them "noms"! And I'm very lucky to have a very fast metabolism so I can eat and eat and eat and eat and never get fat. Plus, I'm very active. I know you're trying to lose some weight Boo Man so feel free to jog around the house with me at any time.
Things I love are chicken, turkey, ham, bacon, mahi-mahi, salmon, tuna, white cheddar cheese popcorn, vanilla ice cream, vanilla wafers, potato chips, Doritos, scrambled eggs with hashbrowns, cheese, and cat milk."
B - "As one of four girls here, what was it like to have a big handsome guy cat move in (by the way, that would be me, eh)?"
K - "Well, I didn't really mind, and I think Lila likes you, but I never hear the end of it from Newbe. It's just "meowrrr" this and "meowrrr" that. Get over it already honey! Oh hey, that's funny I called her honey. That was her "cue" name from her humans that found her a condo. Your Niece and The Boy named her Newbe when she came to live at the house full of pet mall things. She lived with your Niece and The Boy before I did."
B - "Tell me more about the other kitties here."
K - "Lila was the first. She's your Niece's favorite. Your Niece thinks we don't know, but we do, and we're ok with that. Lila was sick last year, and we're all very happy she's doing well. She's very nice but kinda different. When she meows no sound comes out unless she's really mad. I guess she's always been that way. I like that she's a long haired cat because with you Boo Man we now out number the short hairs! I like to think of us as the Long Haired Kitty Posse. When we all hang out, your Niece says it's a long haired kitty party! I love to party!
Frankie was next. She's a 'cue' too. She's pretty shy, but super chatty when you do run into her. I think she has pretty eyes. Like you Boo Man, she has different feet. She has extra toes. What is it like to have no claws Boo?
After Frankie there was Newbe, then me, and now you!"
B - "Sometimes I miss my claws, but for the most part, it's ok. What is the scariest thing that's ever happened to you?"
K - "Oh, I tell you what is scary. There's a closet monster in this house. Oh yeah. I check all the closets every night looking for that loser. One night, he locked me in a drawer! Yuppers! He's so totally toast when I find him. I was minding my own business in the bathroom opening cabinet doors, and the next thing I knew, I was in a drawer. And not the big drawer either! A little one! Your Niece heard me and let me out. She couldn't figure out how I got in there, and I think she now believes me about the closet monster. I'm gonna get him, don't you worry!"
B - "If you could offer my readers one piece of advice, what would it be?"
K - "Spoil your pets with things from the pet mall. We're worth it!"
B - "Thank you Keebler for being a part of my blog!"
K - "No problem. I'm going to go see if I can sneek up on the closet monster now. Wish me luck!"

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

She's Fluffy Not Fat, Aye?
As I spend more time here, I learn more about my roommates. There are 2 long haired cats like myself, the oldest one being Lila. I don't see much of her. She's kind of shy. Niece says she's a Maine Coon. I'm familiar with Maine as it is not far from my Canadian home, aye.
Lila is the biggest cat (well used to be before I arrived). She is 13 pounds and has fur between her toes just like me (see below)! Even though she is a Maine Coon, she was born in Arizona - how her family got from Maine to Arizona, I'll never understand! Lila turned 8 years old this year and has been with Niece for 7 years.
Niece said that Lila was in a place called a shelter and was "running out of time". I don't know what the means but it sounds scary! A very nice lady from a "rescue" group in Arizona became Lila's foster mom. She took very good care of Lila and on the weekends, Lila got to go to the greatest place on Earth - PetsMart! Ooooh, it's the Disneyland for animals. Niece says that lots of animals find good homes at PetsMart because they help "rescue" groups show their animals to hopeful pet parents. It sounds like a good plan to me!!
Anyway, Niece used to go to PetsMart every weekend because she had guinea pigs (guess they're very hungry and need lots of stuff), and every weekend she would see Lila. Niece said that Lila didn't like the noise and ruckus of the party going on at PetsMart so she was in a quilted cube with a porthole. That sounds very luxurous to me. Niece says it was very cute and everyone in the store would always say, "Look at that adorable cat in the cube!"
Finally, one Saturday Niece thought to herself, "If that kitty in the cube is still there, I think she'll have to come home with me!" And sure enough, when Niece got there, Lila and her cube were there!! Isn't that great? It was destiny! I love a good story... Here is a photo of Lila on her first day home.
Niece says that Lila is her best friend. Now, I know she loves all of us here, but I guess because Niece and Lila lived together before The Boy and the other kitties lived together, they have a special bond. Lila seems to love Niece too. She follows here everywhere. Niece and Lila hug alot, and Lila lets Niece carry her around. It's kinda funny. Niece hugs me too - I guess she likes to hug! I can see why Lila likes it though. Niece is a good kitty hugger.
One thing I thought was very neat is that Lila and I have the same favorite mouse! When I arrived from Canada, I had my friend Doofus Dog and a gray mouse with a purple tail. Lila has the same one - she actually has three!! She hugs them all the time. She falls asleep with them and everything. I'm not quite that close to my mouse...
I hope I get to meet Lila more. Niece always has such nice things to say about her. I'm sure as time goes on, we'll run into each other more. Plus I think she's pretty! Here are some newer photos.

Boo
