Saturday: Cat's Bill of Rights #9

I have the right to look aloof when scolded for mistaking your toes for one of those pesky phantom creatures that hide beneath the sheets.

Thursday Theme Song: Paper Tiger

Quit beating your chest and acting like you're gonnia bite a big howl out of me
Quit messin' and testin' cuz this ain't at all impressin' to me
Paper tiger, paper tiger you paper tigers are all alike
Your roar is much worse than your bite

Quit spyin' and sighin' and lyin' and tryin' to be so mean
Cuz you ain't scarin' nobody, baby, you're just makin' a scene
Paper tiger, paper tiger, you're just a'flutterin' in the tree
Ain't shakin' ho one but the leaves

Oh how you try to be so brave
Thinkin' that I'll run back to ya and be afraid
And so you try to come on strong
Thinkin' that I will go along, but you're wrong
Paper tiger, you paper tigers are all alike
Your roar is much worse than you bite

COME HERE KITTY.  HERE KITTY, KITTY, KITTY.... HA HA HA

Paper Tiger was song by Sue Thompson

The night crazies...featuring Madi

If you've never experienced the Night crazies with a cat, let me tell you it is the ultimate in scary fun!! The first time we experienced the 'night crazies' with Milky-Way, we thought he had gone mad. Evidently it is something cats do because Madi does it too.

This is our family room aka the night crazies spot. Right above this spot is a fan. Madi spends a many a night napping on the medallion. 100% asleep, the fan is not on and all of a sudden for no apparent reason she becomes possessed, she arches her back, her tail doubles in size, she does a sideways crab walk, she looks a the fan as if it is talking to her. Then in a nanosecond, she turns into a feline rocket zooming all over the house (both floors), sounding like a stampede of elephants.  Then just a quickly as she left, she returns to this spot stopping on a dime, rolls over on her back as if nothing has happened. There is not a camera quick enough to capture an episode of the night crazies.

I found this quote in "Who's Kitten Who?" by Cynthia Baxter.

It describes the night crazies purrfectly.

"A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever, and generally stopping before it gets there" by ~~Agnes Repplier

Do any of you own a cat who has the night crazies?

Madi and Mom
Note from Madi, yesterdays post:  Many of you asked what I did with my Mad Money?
WELL  let me just say it takes a lot of $$$$ Avon products to keep a Diva looking like a Diva.
And YES Dad always puts the lid down...Mom and my sis trained him well!!!

How I earn my Madi Mad Money......

First of all, YES, the DIVA is sitting on the toilet.

Puddles give me your best shot I'm ready!!!

Butt there is a reason.
You see my morning job is Lady-in-waiting to my Dad.
It is my job to see that he is purrfectly shaved and showered each and every day
AND
This is where I sit to over see the care and grooming of said Dad!!!

Dad I believe you cut yourself there on your chin...yep you got it...
A shave and not a hair cut will be two bits and a Dollar.  Inflation has hit my world too.

Madi's 'Mum' Monday

"You talkin' to me???"
What a busy weekend...demanding more food and watching my caloric intake at the same time...
holy smoke that makes a kitty cranky and tired....
