Thursday! It's Me, MikiCato, from Twin Oaks.

     Been missing here on House Panthers for a while.  Much happening since the storm, and much still to do, but we just had to stop by and offer our wishes that all reading along had a very Happy Christmas, and will, this next week, have a great Happy New Year. 

MikiCato considering mayhem on the Large One for getting up close and personal with the flashy thing.  He, of all the boys here at SouthWoodsUSA, do not/don't not/whatever?, take to well to the flash.  Still, I do get some good shots of him from time to time.  Here he was just waking up, and had not, as yet gotten his face and whiskers washed.
After the wash I was very nicely forgiven, got my nose washed, my beard combed a mite, and then was deserted when he heard his Small One bumping and banging around in the kitchen.  Dinner time! 

This was the day Large and Small Ones came home from the local Flea Market with a great big box of yarn and threads and such for the Small Ones' projects with the clicky needles.  She had lots and lots of yarn to roll into balls, and threads to take out and put in their proper places in the little boxes and racks and drawers.  Miki decided it was a good time to claim a highly likely looking warm spot to hunker down for a nap.  He helped with the rolling for a time, found things for the Small One and generally disrupted her work very Delightfully.  Then it happened.  The kitty sand man came, and the House Panther was zonked.  He wound up covered with balls of yarn of all colors and types and sizes and he slept through a couple three hours of it.  When he awoke he was ticked at me because I took the box off Small One's lap so she could get the circulation going in her legs again.
Miki didn't move until I took him out and put him to bed in his little nest on the futon.
Fun day all around, and all those pictures, all the yarn and thread only cost us the gas, and a $5 bill.  Best shopping day for a long time.

     Now I'm gone, but MikiCato will be back again, but not until next year.  Look for him.  He's coming back, and he'll be doing the work.  I have resigned from blogging.  Not really, I just gots me own little blog on our little freebie Web Site at Roy Sr's Place. 

 

   

Thursday! It's me, MikiCato, from Five Oaks!

   
     Me, Myself, and I (aka MikiCato Slinky Kitty York), not really liking the looks of the day we done woked up to, am/are curled in the 'donut nest', wif my back to the ugly outside, making with the big happy eyes with the Large One while he does my work.  So, you be readin my wunnerfull words, typed by my Survunt, the one what calls hisself the 'KnightOwl'.  (well he is really.  He's always up with us when we do the romp down the hall, up the wall and back, and up the kitty tree, over the TV and down and back again.
     Today is NOT, as I sayd a day for likin, so I'm koolin it, watchin hisself peckin on that bumpy board thingy.

     Hi, I'm MikiCato's servant, the one he calls Large One.  I'm doing the honors today since our star reporter is otherwise occupied, and seemingly disinterested in anything but himself.  Typical Cat activities lately.  Anyway, here goes ......

     Wonder what would happen if I changed that title up there?  I keep forgetting how Miki worded it and have to go copy and paste (can't remember it long enough to hop over here to the post section and type it).  Well, I could leave well enough alone and let MikiCato do his own work couldn't I?  Nah, not in my nature.

This would probably be the 'look' I would get from the little
rapscallion, since he is so serious about his duties as guard
and protector of all things Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA™.

      We're supposed to have a 'theme' today, a 'subject of conversation, either written or photographed, but for the likes of me all I can think of is ....... well, there's nothing there.  Miki is busy (again) as you can see, taking care of business with the kitty sandman, or whatever you wanna call it.

This being my computer chair, I had to wait a good half hour before
I was once again gifted with my seat (replete with a very warm spot).
Something went bump down the hall in the fun room, and himself
just had to go see to the investigation and possible correction of
any and all confusion and disturbances said 'bump' might
have inadvertently caused.

     Right now, I'm thinking I will let this post go with one last shot of our little hero kitty, MikiCato.  This little guy being MY kitty, MY shadow, MY armful, and I must add here, MY headache,  I am quite attached to him, or should I reverse that, him being the perfect example of the title 'Velcro Kitty'?

"I be waked now.  I kin do my posk for da House Panther place
If I can just has a minutes to clean da sleep offn mysleves.
Geez, I doesn't sees where da time goes.  I postes one week's
posk, takes a short nap or threes, and it time to make another
of dem posks.  Is I gettin double duties cheere and only gettin
single pays for all dis work?"

     We will leave it at that.  This cat definitely needs some special care.  Wonder if I can afford a 'cat shrink'?  Probably have to pay the poor shrinks cost of having to visit a 'cat shrink shrink' after he has a session with MikiCato.
     Next time I'll leave this post to the House Panther they call 'Da Mik'!

     I'm gone .....

Thursday! It's Me, MikiCato, from Five Oaks.

     We are back on the Blogs again.  Hopefully we will not be falling off the schedule from here on.
     No major news, no new story, just a Hello to all, and a wish for a great weekend ahead.  MikiCato and the boys and girls of the 6 Mouskateers of Five Oaks Manor are all well, as is our Small One.  I, the Large One am getting better as the days go along.  It's not the age, it's the mileage, and the arthritis and all those other hard to pronounce 50¢ words the Drs throw at us laymen and women.
     Here, today, I would just like to break away, a mite, from the Cat theme of the blog, to post one banner in my salute to tomorrow's celebrations for the Canadians and The Colonials.  Here's to a job well done by those who served 'over there', then and now.  Would that all could have returned home.

     MikiCato sends his best to all the House Panthers and House Panther fans all around the world.

  

     We'll be back .....

     Later .....

Thursday, It's Me, MikiCato, from Five Oaks

     Ever Had a Catnip Party?  I'm sure you all have at least seen or heard of one.  Well here's a private one, one MikiCato had over at Five Oaks Manor, SouthWoodsUSA one day a couple years ago.  Since Miki is asleep at this writing, I though you would enjoy being able to read  what was said here without having to sound out the words.  Sorry, but the little guy is a 'Southren Kitty'.  He never did learn 'the other English'.
     Anyway, this is Miki's Party.  The stage is set, let the play begin .....

Just gettin wound up.  

Large One flicked a bit around to 'set the stage'

Miki is ready for the first act .....

Aaaah, the curtain has risen .....

here's the good stuff, and plenty of it

A second and third act all in one.

I love a good action play.

Change of scenery,

The play continues ..... 

Now for the final act .....

Great show this one is.

Well, I think I got my money's worth with this one.

Time for a quick nap before supper.

Thanks, Large One, for the fun play.

Can we do it again tomorrow?
