Dora the Explorer

Well... it has finally happened! Tion Tillypants has a new playmate in the house. Her name is Dora the Explorer (like the Nick Jr. cartoon show) because of her insatiable appetite for exploration. Already, she has mapped out every nook and cranny of our apartment. So far, her favorite spot seems to be Tion's food bowl. :-)
I was able to snap a photo of one of the big chases that Tion and Dora partake in whenever possible. These encounters usually start with Dora posturing as if to overtake Tion, then quickly turn into Tion outrunning and often overrunning Dora. It's really only scary when he bites her neck. Already I can see that they will soon be comfy friends.

Rosie the Bag Lady

Meet Rosie. She and Tion had a falling out a while back, but she is none the less pretty cool. While her people parents were enjoying their honeymoon, I had the honor of visiting Rosie for regular play dates. One day, she managed to get a Starbucks bag around her body and it was a major adventure trying to get it off.

Lounging Around

After a long night of chasing bugs and invisible creatures, Tion lounges around in bed with his favorite house mate. Even though kitty cats often take many short naps, Tion always seems to be in bed when it's time for Mary to wake up...

Just Chillin...

I don't care what you say... this super cute kitty is smiling like she just found a whole basket of mice! Such a cutie!!!

Hanging Out with a Bad Crowd

So, lately I've noticed that Tion has been making friends with the "bad crowd" at the local park.

You know... the type of kitty cats that like to harass squirrels, drink a lot, and laugh at the nice cats. I'm especially concerned about the scent of Wild Cat Malt Liquor that permeates from his fur. I have tried talking with him about his dangerous behavior, but he just refuses to listen!!!

I hope he realizes soon that these cats are NO GOOD before he does something he really regrets...

(BTW... this is real malt liquor.
I am tempted to buy some just
because the bottle is so cool -
too bad it's sold in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)

:(

Spring Love

Yesterday Tion had a play date with his female friend, Gracie. I think he wants to be more than friends, but she is more than a little shy. By the end of the night, however, they were getting along pretty well (as long as I stayed out of the room) and playing with each others' tails. :)

Pictures to come...

Cat Crazy Scrunchy Party

Crazy Kitty Cat Party

So... my little rascal had a party last weekend while I was still on vacation in SLO. I wouldn't have known about it, except that when I got home I found even more scrunchies than usual on the floor and this incriminating picture on my computer. One of Tion's little friends much have been downloading pictures on my computer.

All I can say is that I hope they used protection!!! Dang, kitty cats and puppy dogs grow up pretty quickly these days! I guess it's time to have that talk with Tion before things get too out of hand... no wait, that not a problem since he's already altered.

Next time I go on vacation I am so getting a cat-sitter.
